Booker T. Washington; president o!
the National Negro Business league,
delivered the principal address at
Philadelphia. He spoke in part al
follows: This, the fourteenth meet.
ing OF the National Negro Business
league, marks also the fiftieth ami.
versary Of our freedom as a race
1t Is, then. both timely and fit'
ting that this great gathering OF the
representatives Of the backbone and
progress Of our race should be held
IN Philadelphia. 1t Is most appro
pirate that this meeting should take
place after so years OF freedom In
this city. where 1877 years ago that i'm
mortal document, the Declaration Of
independence. was issued. Whether
the American negro was meant q,
that time to be included within the
scope and meaning of the words Of
the Declaration Of Independence has
been debatable question. However
that may be decided, we mean as q
race through this and similar organ
izations to make ourselves such a
useful and potent part of American
citizenship that in all the future nc
one will dare question our right to be
included In any declaration that re
lates to any portion of the body poll
tic.
During the so years of our freedom
we have been subjected to some pref
ty severe tests. First, there were not
few who raised the question as
to whether or not the American negro
could survive in state Of freedom
We answer that question by showing
that when freedom came to US We
were 100000 in number; now We
have grown to over 100000 free
American citizens"

The march of the Tenth cavalry, s
negro regiment, from Fl. Ethan Allen
VT, to the camp of Instruction neal
Winchester, Va, has net attracted
much attention. but it was a fine per
Torrance. The distance traverset
was 705.90 miles and the route was
through five states and over severa
mountain ranges. The start was made
on June 16, and Winchester was reach
ed on July 10. Four days the regimen
rested, and the average days ride was
1888 miles. The weather was general
ly hot, the maximum temperature be
ing about 100 degrees on several days
One horse died of collie; three, over
come by heat, were shot. and eigh
were left on pasture for their owl
good. The ages of the horses ranged
from five years to twsnty.thres-it ap
pears the veteran survived. One hun
dred and thirty-eight pack mule:
shared the march, and ali trotted into
the instruction camp in good condi
ton.
No hospital returns have been pub
lished, but the troopers doubtless die
better than the horses. Negro sol
diers are hardy and merry on the
march. making light of the hardship
and discomfort. The Tenth is cracl
regiment, as every one of its white
officers will testify and it had bee,
stationed for long time in salubri
GUS country. Perhaps, remarks thu
New York Sun, there are white regi
ments in the army that could have rid
den from Vermont to Virginia II
quicker time than the Tenth, but none
could have finished the march in bet
ter temper and under better discipline

The failure of the negro public
schools to accomplish their mission Is
evident in the examination Of appli-
cants for admission to Prairie View
unsuccessful applicants. For example,
the writer asked an applicant what a
noun was. He could not answer and
yet he had finished" the sixth grade
in a certain negro public school. There
are many such cases, enough to re-
veal the inadequacy Of the negro pub
lie schools In Texas. Texas spends
more for negro education than any
state in the Union and pays its negro
teachers the best salaries.
But there is crying need of better
teaching. The trouble ia not 30 much
the ignorance Of the negro teacher
and their indifference to the acquiring
of good method in the schoolroom, and
above all the lack of industry and ap-
plication on the part Of both teachers
and pupils. The county superintend-
ents naturally visit the white schools
most Yet the negro school needs su-
pervision the most. Perhaps the coun-
ty superintendent could appoint a
faithful. honest and competent negro
teacher, who would not traduce or un-
der-estimate her fellow teachers, who
would aid in reforming the negro
schools.
The writer believes that If there
were more general interest taken in
the negro schools by the school au-
thorities and the white leaders, minis
tiers, merchants and lawyers and doc
tors, there would be better negro
schools. But too often no one ever en-
tiers a negro school except the pupils
and their teachers. No one seems in
terested and the teacher is left unto
her own devices and her chief occu-
patton gets to be. in some instances,
the mere marketing time" and draw
ing her monthly modicum. Public
servants need to be held to a strict
personal accountability.

Uncle Irving" is dead at the age Of
1O4, relates the Cincinnati Enquirer
The Industrious ex-slave. whose pic
turesQue figure was familiar to pa.
irons of the Sixth street market, where
he was employed, celebrated his one
hundred and fourth birthday last
Monday by taking a holiday, and on
Friday he breathed his last. His
funeral will be held tomorrow after
noon in the Calvary Baptist church
The aged darby was of that vanishing
school, the ante-bellum negro. whose
naive winsomeness and wholesome
simplicity endears him to all, espe-
cially southerners.. II lives right with
Gawd-that's all. " This was Uncle
1rving's" invariable reply when asked
for his creed and formula for his long
life and contentment. He had clear
memories of the days when the eight
eenth century was young. Born in
Warsaw, KY, in 1903, he lived in
slavery until his fiftieth year, when
freed by President Lincoln's emanci-
patton proclamation. The half cen.
fury of slavery was span Of pleas
ant years for him, he often said. He
always spoke gratefully of his first
master. Thomas Brown Of Warsaw
who bought him when he was five
years old for $500. He would also
speak proudly of the fact that he one
time brought 1900 on the block. For
years Uncle Irving Brown had been
a jealous member of the Baptist
church. He often represented his
church at conferences and meetings
in other cities. Three times he was
chosen a delegate to Yellow Springs.
He was a trustee OF the church until
the day of his death.

COLUMBIA RESENTS
ACTION OF YALE
Athletic Tangle May Result from
Hiring of Howard as
Hockey Coach.

Careful guidance by tho controlling au-
thorities probably will bc necessary u
prevent an athletic tangle between Co
lumbia and Yale. because Of the an
nouncement from New Haven that Tom
Howard, the hockey coach. had con
tracted with the Yale team for his ser
vices for the coming winter.
Early in October II was announced hy
the Columbia University committee on
athletics that Howard had been approved
as 4 coach for the Blue and White
hockey team for 1914 and ne had al
ready taken charge Of the Columbia play
ers in their preliminary practice.
The announcement from New Haven
that Howard had deserted Columbia and
accepted a Yale contract was received hy
the undergraduates on Morninssidc
Heights with a touch ~ resentment al
though Harry Fisher. graduate manager
Of athletics refused to discuss the prob
lem that the state Of affairs presented.
Howard coached the Yale seven FOR sew
eral wears before coming 20 New York
Morningside Height team. Ills work az
Columbia In his first year was cNccp-
tional and he turned out team that was
second In the fight for the intercollegiate
championship. II was impossible 10 Judge
hts work last year. because Columbia had
only one game.
There was a prospect however. that tho
team this year would be- ono of the best
that Columbia ever had because Howard
with. despite the fact that II had been
found impossible 10 arrange for only one
practice period a week a. the 81. Nicho-
las Rink
Just what action. u any. Columbia
plans TO take against Howard. Harry
Fisher would not say YESTERDAY The fact
that Howard had already started the Coz
lumbis team in its practice has been cou-
strued TO mean that he was perfectly sat.
isied with his agreement with the Co
lumbia hockey authorities, who can as
sign no reason for his sudden transfer 90
New Haven.
As the situation stands Columbia seems
to be in peculiar predicament and ma
lost Howard for good either way. It is
Interpreted. Columbia can let tie whole
affair drop just as it is. or II can force
Howard to live up to his agreement. In
which case he would have to give up his
contract with Yale. although II IL hardly
probable that he would resume his rela-
tions with Columbia after what has hap
pened.
The Columbia varsity squad had is
first practice on the ice last night at the
ST Nicholas Rink when a squad OF
eighteen players. including Captain NIL
bank. reported TO +. l.. Won Bernuth. the
old Blue and White star and r. J. Trim
bic, who Was captain Of the team d year
ago. and who may be selected as coach
Of the seven this winter. The Columbia
players are allotted only three quarters
Of an hour, and they used every second
Of the time TO the fullest advantage.
