THE FOB NOVEM
DELINEATOR
BEE.
With its November number The De
lineator celebrates its fortieth anniver
sary. When the magazine issued
its first number to illustrate the fash
ions, women wore hoopskirts and shawls,
queer bonnets and quaint coiffures.
Some of the early pictures are repro
duced in the current issue/of the maga
zine, which has developed marvelously
along all lines until it now offers the
best in literature, while it speaks au
thoritatively concerning all that per
tains to the art of dressing well.
In this anniversary number, Mabel
Potter Daggett recalls incidents When
The Delineator Was Young," begin
ning with the storjr of how Mrs. But
terick stopped sewing on her baby's
dress one evening long ago, to suggest
to her husband that women would be
glad to have patterns for their chil
dren 's clothes. Charles Hanson Towne
reviews the "Noted Contributors to th#
Delineator,""among whom are many of
lasting fame, and, Honore Willsie de
scribes "The Streeet The Delineator
Lives On"—a street in which numer
ous historic characters once dwelt.
Erman.J. Ridgway in his editorial de
partment "Conversazione," announces
that in celebration of its fortieth an
niversary The Delineator will make a
thorough investigation of the legal
status of dependent children in every
State as a step toward improving con
ditions.
One of the leading articles of the
month is "The Passion for 'As Good
As by David Graham Phillips, a
startling arraignment of etravagant
women. Louis V. DeFoe writes of The
Actor's Othfer Self" and Anne Forsyth
tells about her third "place" in her
venture, "Seven Times A Servant.

W. E. B. Du Bole.
By- FRANKLIN P. JOHNSON.
The problem of adjusting the differ
ences between the heterogeneous
masses In the United States,so that
each man will enjoy equality before
the law and equality! of' opportunity
for himself and bis children has agi
tated the minds of statesmen eft and
on since 11776.
The overthrow of England's sover
eignty In the United States and the
establishment of a democratic form of
government was the first The exist
ence of slavery, the agitation against
It and its final extinction was another
step In the recognition of the brother
hood of man.
The enfranchisement of the JNegro
and the abrogation of many of the
W. K. B. DO BOIS, PH. D.
laws preventing the Negro from fol
lowing various fields of activity were
steps in recognition of the principles of
democracy.
The disfranchisement laws, Jim
crow measures, restricted school facil
ities for the race, are efforts to undo
the start made for the extension to all
of* what many are pleased to term
"Jeffersonlan principles."
With the curtailment of the rights
of the Negro and a steadily growing
race consciousness as well as knowl
edge of public affairs and the growing
economic independence of the race
has come the conviction that the spir
it of democratic principles is no less
for the colored man than for the
white.
A number of white and colored men,
all firm believers in the principles of
democracy and strong opposers to
all temporizing with Social prejudices
and its manifestation In discriminat
ing laws, have organized the National
Association For the Advancement of
Colored People, with offices In the
Evening Post building, 20 Vesey
street, New York.
The need of such an association can
be best gleaned from an address which
one of its leading promoters, Oswald
Garrison Villard, editor of the New
York Evening Post, delivered at the
recent meeting In New York of the
National Negro Business league. Said
Mr. Villard:
"My friends of the Business league,
do not let the historian of the future
say that in this money making age the
colored American became so engross
ed in tflfe accumulation of means and
the establishment of business as to
forget those higher things without
which he cannot hope to succeed and
rise to great usefulness, to be really
worthy of his heritage of American
citizenship.
"Do not forget that, while every ef
fort -must be spent In fortifying our
selves in every community by busi
ness an* material success, equal effort
must bo devoted to that of far greater
movement, the insistence upon the
Negro's equal and political rights in
every place and at all times.
"Anything short of absolute equality
before the law is slavery.
"My friends, this republic cannot ex
ist half slave, half free, any more to
day than it could in the time of Abra
ham Lincoln."
Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, the eminent
authority oniacial questions, has been
engaged as secretary of the associa
tion. Professor Du Bols is a native of
Massachusetts. Aftec graduating from
Fisk university in 1888 he entered
Harvard university, receiving the de
gree of bachelor ot arts in 1890 and
the degree of master of arts the fol
lowing year.
He "as awarded a fellowship and,
after studying in Berlin, was awari

ed the degree if doctor of philosophy
by Harvard In 1809. He did some ape
clal research work for the University
of Pennsylvania, after which he went
to Atlanta university to take charge
of the department of economics and
sociology.
Dr. Du Bols is the author of "Soul
of Black Folk," a history of John
Brown, "The Suppression of the Slave
Trade," "The Philadelphia Negro" and
many pamphlets on the race question.
When he resigned from the profes
sorship to accept the position of di
rector of publicity and research for
the National Association For the Ad
vancement of Colored People the
board of truste%s of Atlanta univer
sity, in accepting his resignation, paid
him the following glowing tribute:
"We accept with regret tlte resigna
tion of W. E. Burghardt Du Bols,
Ph. D., from the professorship of eco
nomics and history at Atlanta univer
sity.
"For thirteen years he has' served
this institution with great ability and
devotion. He has proved himself a
careful scholar, a firm disciplinarian*
and a thorough and inspiring teacher.
"The charm of his personality and
his prevailing good cheer have added
much to the enjoyment of life in the
school family.
"Under his guidance the department
of economics and history has been
greatly strengthened and has brought
Atlanta university wide recognition
among scholars.
"We can only hope that his new field
of laibdr will give him larger oppor
tunity for the exercise of his excep
tional powers for the benefit of the
Negro race and of humanity."
The association will begin the publi
cation of a magazine, the Crisis, the
1st of November. Its aim each month
will be to record every important hap
pening and movement in the world
which bears on the great problem of
Interracial relation and especially those
which affect the Negro American.
The magazine will be the organ of
no cliques or party and will avoid psr
Bonal rancor of all sorts.
Dr. Du Bols will be editor In chief.
His assistants will Include Professor
Kelly Miller of Howard university, Os
wald Garrison Villard, Charles Edward
Russell, William Stanley Bralthwalte.

Mrs. Dunlop Maclean.
ANTI-LYNCHING SOCIETY
ORGANIZED IN BOSTON.'

Afro-American Woman Unite For Ac
tive Campaign Against Injustice.
An anti-Jynching society composed of
Afro-American women has been organ
ized in Boston. The purpose of the
new association is to call the attention
of the legal authorities to the too fre
quent lynching of Innocent citizens.
It will also make investigations as to
the cause of such crimes with a view
of apprehending and having the guilty
punished according to law instead of
mob rule.
The promoters of the movement met
at the residence of Mrs. L. C. Parrish,
in Camden street, Boston, recently and
perfected a permanent organization,
electing the following officers:
President, Mrs. M. Cravath Simp
son vice president, A. H. Jewell re-
MRS. Xi. ft PABBISH.
cording secretary, Mrs. V. C. Clark
treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, and
chaplain, Mrs. M. C. Hall.
Among others who took part In the
organization are Mrs. Carrie O. IJeed,
Mrs. A. Bisbee, Mrs. A. Russell, Mrs.
E. F. Sport, Mrs. Anderson and Miss
E. Jewell.
The harmony of thought, the true
principle for vindication of their wom
anhood and the race, exhibited in the
efforts for the public meeting and its
success, with the triumph gained over
the press, cemented a tie between
them which has caused them to press
forward with greater energy to rem
edy, if not lessen, the continued evils
perpetrated against the race.
Already they have plans formulated
for a big ano-lynching meeting In the
near future and pre assured support
by some of the best leading white
women and men of the country.
