AFRICAN TIMES
ON THE PROBLEM
4 Urges Closer Cooperation
Among Darker Races
RESULT OF RACES CONGRESS.

MiilEaNN go4Fnai EefNNe " @~s"~' -
puss Mohamsd Makes Significant
Call to colorsd Americans For Mu-
tuaI AffiIiatien-Afords Channel For
international Exchange Of Ideas.
The African Times and Orient Re
view, which Is an outgrowth OF the
universal races congress which met
In London in 1911, is a monthly jour
nal devoted to the colored races OF the
world. II Is a thirty-five page maga-
zine, edited with great ability. Duse
Mohamed, a Negro born In Egypt and
educated in England, Is its editor.
The Review is to be the mouthpiece
of the dark and eolored races through
out the world In the foreword 1t
says, "We feel that for lack OF under
standing the African and oriental have
produced nonappreciation, and nonap-
probation has unleashed the hydra
headed monster OF derisiOn, contempt
and repression"
Laudable ambitions have but to be
voiced to be appreciated, and that
touch OF nature which makes the
whole world kin has only to be
brought into operation to establish that
bond Of universal brotherhood among
white, yellow. brown and black.
In WORD to Our Brothers" 1t says:
"As for you, the black race, the brown
race and the yellow race, this is your
own journal. The more humble you
are the more need you have Of us and
the more readily shall we extend our
sympathy and advice. We want to
hear from you. the young and budding
Sun Yet Sens.
"We call on men like Blyden, the
Conrad ReeveSes, the embryo Freder-
ick DOuglasses and Paul Laurence
Dunbars. II you have anything to say
for the good of your race let us hear IT.
Your day Is coming. Your
place In the sun has been and will
come again. As darkness overlook you
for a space, II must also overtake Eu-
rope. The future OF Africa, the future
Of India, will not be decided In the
chanceries of Europe. but upon the
hills Of India and the plains Of Africa
"See that your loins are well girded
and that you have your stan firmly in
your hand when you once more take
your place in the sun" The Review Is
a decided revelation editOrially and ty-
geographically, while its contributed ar
ticles are OF highly meritoriOus char |
acter. 1t is to be hoped that American |
Negroes who want to know what is |
taking place in the darker world and |
what progress their race Is making |
viii subscribe to this excellent maga- |
zine.
The significance Of the Review need
not be stated 1t must be apparent |
that the necessity which called Il. into |
being Is vital to the interests Of those |
whose spokesman 1t IS and that the |
darker races are beginning 10 rouse
from their lethargy and to draw nearer
to one another.
Sample copies Of the review may be
had by addressing the publication Of
fee, 131 Finsbury pavement, London,
E @. Our poets and writers have here
an opportunity to win international
fame, and we hope that many viii ac-
cept the Reviews generous invitation
to let II hear from them. We think
the subscription price is 81 per year.
1t Is worth every penny OF It.

for the name "Pekin" being q stauneh

that the old patrons who saw the Pekin

Haight has not yet adopted his policy

Of season does not permit him to secure
the desired vaudeville attractions al
though he has placed the bookings in
the hands of the Western Vaudeville
Association his intentions are to offer
Polite Family Vaudeville at Summer
Prices and I understood him to say that
all seats would be 10 cents, Box and
Loge Seats Is cents these prices will
prevail until the regular season opens.
He also says that he will mount the
house from the entrance to the gridiron
with Colored attaches so that the
Theatre will remain as it was founded,
a Theatre for The People. The Theatre
and lobby has been thoroughly reno
waited and decorated. The new order
of things will be very pleasing to its
many patrons. Mr.. Haight is daily on
the premises superintending the many
changes that are being made. We al
most forgot to tell you that associated
in this enterprise with Mr.. Haight is
one Of Chicago's most enterprising and
business men in the per-

chance to break even in a financial

welcome them to be among US and we

cleaning department of the tailor shop,
the origin being in rather strange
nature. Mr.. Dite was working in the
cleaning room and stepped into an
other room to get warm. He started
to poke the Goals when his shirt sleeves
became ignited. Mr.. Dite rushed in
to the back room, where he had been
working. Gas fumes filled the air and
his entrance resulted in an explosion
which ignited the whole room, and
but for the timely assistance of pass
erby Mr.. Dite would no doubt have

a tip and hands it to the man with the
apron. After that he takes the re.
naming coins, carefully washes them

napkin and puts them in his pocket.

WHAT SALARY SHALL BE PAID.
Attorney General to Interpret Law
REGULATING Commissioners Pay

Regulating Commissioners Fay.
Pierre.-"What is the salary of city
commissioners in small towns? and
why?" are questions up before the
attorney general for an opinion. An
examination of the provisions of chap
ter 81 of the laws of the last session,
makes these hard questions to answer
The bill which was passed, signed
and printed in the laws, in section
says: I'm cities not exceeding in
population $500, that shall elect to
be governed by a board of three com
missioners, in each case the salary of
such commissioners shall be one thou
sand $1,000 dollars each per annum
payable in equal monthly Install
ments; except that the mayor shall
receive salary of twelve hundred
Q,200) dollars per amman in equal
monthly installments; and, provided
further, in cities not exceeding in
population thirty-five hundred, that
shall have elected to be governed by
board of three commissioners, the
salary of such commissioners shall
be four hundred $4,000 dollars each
per annum except that the mayor
shall receive salary of six hundred
($600) dollars per annum payable in
equal monthly installments.'
The query put up to the depart
ment is the amount of salary due to
commissioners of the towns under
thirty-five hundred population, under
the provisions of this act
