them so. Many Negroes are working
side by side with white men as skilled
mechanics and engineers, and are
drawing the same salary. He said
that there was sad condition in the
cotton country. where the blacks
worked extra long hours, with small
pay, where child labor was employed,
but that this was due to ignorance,
and the graduates of Tuskegee were
doing much to better these conditions.
The rural schools of the South are
not up to the standard.
Teachers are not paid enough salary
-. but the Southern Negroes were
taking advantage of every opportunity
and are desirous to get education, even
paying the teachers out of their own
pockets.
The Negro is a character to be reck-
oned with in the South. He is facing
every opposition without outcry, but
coming up gradually These are the
darkest days. Yet we are not despair
ing but ever hopeful laboring patient
ly. The silent forces are the ones
that do the work in every nation.
Negroes are employed as Union
Labor in many places. The homes of
the colored people are among the best
in the South The one-room cabin is
a thing of the past. Negro Colleges
were up to the highest standard, and
great progress is being made by pro-
fessional tradesmen, doctors, dentists,
bankers, lawyers, and skilled mechan-
les. The better classes of both races
are working harmoniously together,
both in the city and country districts.
The Crime of. Lynching.
He sal d that the crime of lynch
crimes were committed by persons
person lynched-and many conditions,
such as race riots, are reported in the
newspapers that never happened. The
white press of this country is our
worst enemy.
Governor Blease does not represent
the good white men of the South
neither Tillman or Vardaman. He is
not talking as man, but as poll
tician. Politics in the South are DOM
mated by the corrupt politician and
the ignorant voter. The better class
depricate such statements about
lynchings, etc. AS a proof of his as
sertion he referred to the remarks of
oen. LAWS OF Arkansas at QenOn-
stration in honor of Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, when he said that he fav-
ored lynching, and dumfounded his
audience. Roosevelt, when introduced,
said, "that any man~ or set of men,
who would conduct lynching, were
guilty of wilful and deliberate MUIR
der" and he was cheered by 10000
persons who sat silently at the re-
marks of Mr. Davis. Father Dorsey
said that moral reforms were needed
and that educational training along
all lines would solve the problem. We
need education to become better cit
izens, as the uneducated men and
women of any race are the most de-
trimental to humanity. At the even
ing service he concluded a series of
lectures which he has conducted in
the Twin Cities. Father Dorsey great
ly impressed his hearers, and his mis-
sion has done much for the uplift of
his race along the religious and social
lines. He is an eloquent speaker,
we'll qualified to fill such an honored
position in his Church, and credit
to his race

new IMPROVEMENTS FOR
THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE.
Plans For Permanent Central Power
and Lighting Plant Considered.

For more than q quarter OF cen.
tury the Tuskegee Normal and Indus
trial institute, Tuskegee, Ala, has
steadily grown not only In the size OF
its plant, but In the usefulness OF Its
graduates and in the influence which
II has been able to exert upon racial
conditions throughout the south.
The physical growth Of the institu-
ton has brought 1t to the point where
It is absolutely necessary that consid-,
erable sum of money be spent in put
ting In q more complete and up to date
heating system, water system, sewer
age system, as well as permanent
central power and lighting plant.
The trustees have had competent
engineer at work for several months
studying the problem. He has now
prepared plans which will make saw
Ing Of at least 20 per cent In the cost
Of operating the plant over what we
are now paying. ......-
The entire cost will be $237, ,72S.99.
am glad to say that Alfred T. White
and the Misses White of Brooklyn
have promised $4,000 toward this
amount, provided the remainder can
be secured, says Principal Booker T.
Washington.
In view Of the work that Tuskegee
has done and Is doing for the whole
country, the trustees feel that the
school Is justified In asking for this
amount Of money, which 1t Is hoped
will be secured within the next few
mouths.

ternational Secretary Moorland, who
directed the campaign, were the lead
ing spirits in marshaling the host of
workers. All of the newspapers, espe-
cially the race papers, aided materially
In the campaign that caused people of
both races to marvel. Even the Baltf-
more Sun was moved editorially to
praise the race for the fine results of
the campaign.
Secretary De Bardeleben Is one of
the younger men who have consecrated
their lives to Y. M. g. A. work. He
received the finishing touches Of his
education at Lincoln (Pa.) university.
He taught school for awhile in Texas
and entered Y. M. G. A. work about
seven years ago. DR.. Moorland has
given the best years Of his life to the
work. He is a native of Ohio. After
graduating from a college at Ada, O.,
he studied theology at Howard univer.
sity, Washington.
He Is now q member Of the board of
trustees of Howard university. A "live
wire" man in every sense Of the word
and deeply interested in the work of
saving young men, he has rendered
yeoman service for the cause. He
states that he believes that the splen-
did way men and women of the race
have co-operated in a number Of cities
In the campaigns for new buildings is
paving the way for general co-opera-
hon along civic and economic lines.
He believes that the money pledged
will be collected easily and that the
value Of keeping pledges will be
brought home to many.
Splendid Opportunity For Workers.
The work that the Y. M. @. A. is do
ing for the race centers In a depart
ment headed by such well known men
as Alfred e. Marland, chairman; Will
liam Sloane, vice chairman; Frederick
B. Schenck, treasurer, and Richard G.
Morse, general secretary. Such men as
w. Jay Schieffelin, George Foster Pea
body, Henry B. F. MacFarland, Lucien
G. Warner, N. w. Harris and Frank X.
Sanders serve on the general commit

When that prejudice enters into a
mind there is no true Catholicity, and
am anxious that the white Catholics
will agree with me in this matter.
Prejudice Only in America.
This prejudice exists only in Amer
ica, and it is the only country where
there should be no prejudice, because
it is the country for the equality of
men, the prime doctrine of the con-
stitution, but one class did not live
up to it and made one class servants
of another. Fortunately this did not
last, and all were put on the same
level. Yet many whites remain nom
Church has sway this prejudice has
been wiped away.
Archbishop Ireland spoke of the his
tory of the Catholic Church, its recog-
milton of the black race. He spoke
of the black Popes, St. Cyprian and
St. Boniface, who ruled the Church
and of its Bishops in other countries,
also of the five Negro Priests of this
country, two of whom were present.
He commended the good work of
Father Dorsey. and that he had invited
him to give his mission, that he was
pleased with results, also that Father
Dorsey would return in about a year
to continue the work.
The Purpose of the Mission.
There is but one thing that brings
people into the Church, and that is
their personal interest. Therefore we
invite the colored people to study the
history and principles of the Catholic
Church, the Church of the Ages, and
to learn its doctrines. Father Lang,
the parish priest, will interest you
with books, literature and instructions,
and if you are conscious that you
want to join us, we will receive you.
The purpose of this mission is to give
you this information and to extend
this invitation. Father Theobold of
st. Paul will speak to the colored peo-
pie every second Sunday evening in
this Church, beginning Dec. 22nd
All are invited to attend these serv-
ices.

ton building. Although this mag
nificent offer was made a little less
than two years ago, over 100000 has
been pledged for new buildings In
various sections Of the country since
Jan. 1, 1911. OF this amount the race
has subscribed $2SO,OOO, nearly half Of
which has been paid.
Mr.. Rosenwald's interest in the work
spong colored people began when he
gave $4,000 toward new building In
Chicago. The colored people of that
city gave $4,000, and an $1SO,OO0
building ia now nearing completion.
International Secretary ]. b. Moorland,
who conducted the Chicago campaign,
was invited by Mr.. Rosenwald to his
home to talk over the possibilities Of
the work among the colored people Of
the country.
With his usual enthusiasm DR.. Moor
land gave a graphic picture Of the
work being done and its possibilities,
and shortly after that came the an
nouncement that Mr.. Rosenwald would
give $4,000 to any city that would
erect q 100000 building. Successful
campaigns have since been conducted
tn Los Angeles, Springfield, o.; In
dianapolis, Philadelphia, Atlantic City,
Atlanta and In Baltimore. In each
city the race more than met expecta-
lions. Similar ones are now being
planned for Cincinnati, Kansas City
and New York.

AFFAIRS IN METHODISM.
General Conference Amendment Fol-
Election of Bishops by Races.

General Conference Amendment For
Election of Bishops by Races.
Whether 1t is a wise procedure to
enulnerate representation in large or
ganiatizons where the membership is
composed Of different nationahties by
races Is a question which admits Of
many different answers. Certainly such
q course ought not to be necessary in
order to secure Justice to all of its
constituents In religious bodies nor In
our national, state or municipal govern
ment.
Yet If fair treatment cannot be had
without resorttng to race representa-
tion In the various religious and secu-
lar movements then let us have 1t. The
experience Of those who have long
been connected with public movements
Of the mixed multitude seems to bend
in the direction Of representation by
race. This idea may have come about
from the largeness Of the individual
interests to be fostered and the selec-
ton Of the person best suited to repre-
sent such interests.
For instance, at the last general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church the vote favoring an amend
ment to the constitution permitting the
election Of bishops for races was $40
out Of total Of 565. This amendment
Is to be submitted by the bishops to
the annual and lay electoral confer
ences at their sessions to be held just
previous to the meeting Of the next
general conference.

adequate conception Of the great part
that the Young Mems Christian as

the colored people Of this country,
not only as a conserver Of the man
hood of the race and potent force
for the religious and spiritual uplift
Of men and boys, but as a great force
In awakening the race to the possi-
bilities of cooperation along various
lines. -. -..
The Y. M. @. A. movement among
colored people in this country began to
take root about fifteen years ago when
DR.. Jesse e. Moorland and w. A. Hun
ton were employed as international
secretaries and placed in charge Of the
work. Associations were organized
In a number of cities, and the work
began to grow. Nowadays the small
homes of the colored Y. M. @. A. are
beginning to give way to modern build
ings of large dimensions.
The Washington Y. NJ. @. A. is the
uIDt ulOuS Iuc SOlolCu pCOpiC W w
cupy 100000 building. Its mag
nificent home at 1916 Twelfth street Is
now the scene Of varied activities and
q most praiseworthy work. The color
ed people of that city subscribed $32,- :
coo toward the erection Of the build
ing. Less than $1,000 of this amount
remains unpaid. 1t may be interesting
to note that the first colored Y. M. G..
A. In the world was organized in
Washington in 1853, just two years
after the beginning Of the work.
