WHITE SOUTHERN EDITOR Praises True Reformers for the Good They Have Done in Past Decade in the Uplift of its People. Long History Did World Good. A MONUMENT OF NEGRO EFFORT. Editor S. B. Woodfin, of The Richmond, Virginian Expresses His Sympathy and Say its a Calamity to the State of Virginia. A Time For Sympathy. The suspension of the license of The True Reformers, one of the largest Negro benevolent secret insurance companies in the world, is a distinct calamity, not only to the Negro race but to the State of Virginia. This society has in its long history done a world of good. It has exerted on the whole mass of Negroes an elevating influence. It has advanced their moral ideals: has encouraged them in ways of thrift; has done no little toward fitting them for the exercise of useful citizenship. Through its aid and encouragement there are today living in comfortable homes hundreds of Negroes who otherwise would be the inhabitants of shanties. In its success, it stood as a monument to Negro effort and self-respect; in its fall, it deserves from whites and Negroes alike more of sympathy than of criticism. The result of the catastrophe which it has suffered should be, not despair of Negro enterprise along these lines, but a concert of helpfulness toward re-building and re-establishing the shattered structure. We hope and believe that full investigation will show nothing of a criminal character in the mistakes which the officers of the company appear to have made. The truth probably is that ambition in their case ran away with judgment. Their heads have perhaps been turned, as the hardest heads are frequently turned, by success. The allied bank appears to have been a mistake. The True Reformers did not stick to their idea. But the moment of their disaster and distress is no time for severe criticism and condemnation. It is, in the light of the good they have accomplished, a time for a helping hand. Reimond is blessed with strong banks and wise bankers. It has financiers of unqualified judgment and ability. In the time of stress of this really beneficent institution, would it not be the wise thing for the Society to seek the aid of a committee of these bankers in establishing a reorganization upon the safe business principles which would assure the continuation of the work which, in so great a measure, it has done so well? Such action may be feasible. If it should be and should be taken advantage of, the result would go far, not only toward preserving the savings of many worthy members of the race, but also toward even more firmly unbuilding that racial understanding and sympathy in which all of both races ought to be deeply concerned. MARRIES WITHOUT DIME BOTH HAPPY. Tom Thumb Marries With the Understanding That His Mother-In-Law Will Foot Bills. One of the most notable events of the season, was the Tom Thumb wedding of the Primary Department of the Bethesda Baptist Church under the superintendance of Miss Adelaide Alexander, last Tuesday evening, November 15th, 1910. The opening number of the program was prayer by Rev. E. T. Martin, pastor of the church, followed by an instrumental solo by Boothera Martin. Then came a song by Jewett Eggleston, assisted by Alice Wright, followed by two instrumental solos by Margaret McQueen. Next came the four girls of the bridal party carrying white satin ribbon which suspended a white dove, carrying the ring, this dove was suspended from the center of very pretty green arch decorated with white and pink chrysanthemums, then came four little bridesmaids all dressed in white crape paper, carrying the flowers of the season, chrysanthemums and white and pink carnations, and at the same time came four little groomsmen attired in the conventional dress suits of black with a carnation in their button-hole of their coats. The brides maids were Juatt Eggleston, Corinne Standley, Elia Washington, and Mabel Gilham. The groomsmen were, Willis Corner, Robert Trotman, Robert McRandell, following man the ribbon girls, Milred Johnson, and Ruby Jackson, these being dressed in beautiful orange crape paper, next came the matron of honor, Josephine Robinson, gowned in a beautiful blue crape paper, then 3 pretty little flower girls strewing flowers as they came all most beautifully dressed 1st Margaret Echols in apple green, then Ruth Wright in pink and Munceon Burns in white bespangled with gold stars, all there with a measured step over white carpet to the wedding march, played by Alice Wright. Then last but not least came our bride, Adele Collins, dressed just like a real bride. Then in the marriage ceremony one of the brightest things was when the preacher Oscar Standley said Happy be the bride groom, Hap The Chicago Defender. py be the bride and may not, man, *bird, or beast this happy pair divide. Amen. MAKES HIGH "C"—CEILING FALLS "Some of These Days" reached its climax during the week to such an extent that it cost the singer almost $150 to have the ceiling replaced at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Seams, 3249 Forest avenue. From all accounts Mrs. Seams was so delighted with her new steam-heating plant that she began singing and singing and singing until Mr. Seams, who was out of the city, returned. After having dinner, he, too, began to sing, and while in the parlor singing the duo, when Mrs. Seams made that famous high "C," the ceiling began to crack and bits fell. Of course the singing ceased, and by the time a reporter reached about the middle of the house a crash like a cannon was heard, mingled with the noise of the piano and the dust oozing into doors and windows made things look desperate. Our reporter toro up the street. Reaching 33d street he was forced to run sideways to keep from running into an auto which was making real good time for the city. On coming to himself he felt ashamed to run like that and returned to give assistance. When he reached the house the Scamsses had windows opened and in a short time had the house in apple pie or orer. CHATEAU DE LA PLAISANCE RINK NOTES. The skate contest last Sunday night was participated in by several professionals and created amusement for the large audience present. The girl contest at the Chateau last Sunday was laughable, unique and original, and will be repeated tomorrow night. The dance Thursday night was a real scream and was attended by some of the best people in the city, Thursday night dancing school at the Chateau is just the fad. You should attend. Tonight there will be dancing and reception to Rube Foster and his teammates, the Leland Giants, on their return from Cuba and the East, where they had such phenomenal success. Speeches will be made by William C. Niesen of the Gunners, Harry M. Fisher of the Record-Herald, David Wyatt, the great baseball writer, and others. A good time is in store for all those who attend.

MONTAGUE ARRESTS SICK MAN Mr. Montague, agent for the Freeman, sent in a hurried call to the police department on Tuesday, at 20th and State streets, to send a wagon full of copes at once, in a few minutes the flying squadron came full of policemen, when they arrived at the corner they went on the east side of the street. Mr. Montague called to them to come over where he was, the 10 copes walked over and asked what was the trouble, he said there aloud no trouble. I just arrested a sick man in that saloon, and I want you to take him to the county hospital.—The sergeant in charge said, what do you mean by calling out this auto in the day time. I called you fellows, because I thought you boys were a little tired sitting around the station all day. Say! I have some Freeman's for sale were the last words heard from Mr. Montague as the auto steamed over to the county hospital with the sick man. CUBANS BEAT TIGERS. 3 TO 2. Detroit Americans Losse Eleven-ning Game in Havana. Havana, Nov. 18.—The Cuban team today beat the Detroit players by a score of 8 to 2, in an eleven-inning game. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1910 MRS. MONROE L. MANNING REFUSE JIM CROW SEAT AT GLOBE THEATRE. Managers Give Her Better. Mrs. Monroe L. Manning, 3524 Calumet avenue, brought the Globe Theatre managers to their feet by refusing to accept a seat in their Jim Crow section they have for the Negroes that go to their theatre. When Mrs. Manning after going to her seat saw what she was up against, she deliberately went back to the box office and demanded a better seat. The manager at once gave her to understand that none of the other Colored people kicked about the seats and he did not see why she wanted to. Thereupon Mrs. Manning told him, "If you were in Russia, sir, I would answer your question and the sooner you give me a better seat the better for you." He did and Mrs. Manning went in and enjoyed the play. When seen by a reporter for the Defender, she said, the reason our people are treated like they are they do not enforce their political rights. Many of them don't know that a theatre, restaurant, department, and a church are public places and as such, no person should be barred and you may say for Mrs. Manning, that I for one will not be Jim Crowed by Jews or no one else in Free Chicago, when my father and uncles fought in the civil war to maintain the stars and stripes from disgrace. WHAT THE SOUTH IS DOING. Mildred Miller. Two incidents that have occurred one recently, and the other only a few years ago, in two Southern States point to a more hopeful view of the race situation there and lead us to believe that a broader public sentiment is truly growing in the South land. The Evangelical Ministers' Association of Atlanta, Ga., occasionally writes Colored ministers to participate in their meetings. Last month Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Atlanta, Ga., at the head of the greatest Colored institutional church in the world, was called upon to lead the discussion, the subject of which was that the white ministers could do to help the Colored people. Among other ways Rev. Proctor made special mention of public and private prayers to better public school facilities and a more humane penal system in Georgia. It was decided that the address he published in pamphlet form, sent to each minister in the city, and be made the subject for discussion in the next meeting. The second incident has reference to a very remarkable occurrence in the life of the Prof. Isaac Fisher of Pine Bluff, Ark. Prof. Fisher is in the city this week to assist in the celebration of the Theodore Parker anniversary and every Negro in Chicago ought to have heard his address. "Has the Negro Kept Faith With Theodore Parker and Other Souls Who Suffered for Freedom's Sake," delivered at the Abraham Lincoln Centre, Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Fisher has won prizes to the amount of more than $1,000 as an essayist. He specializes in economics. A few years ago a number of Southern white men sent Mr. Fisher to prosecute his studies in the Library of Congress in Washington, all his excuse being that he gathers will seek out and present to Colored readers more of the incidents like the above, we will grow better and happier in our attitude toward humanity. "KEEP THE NEGRO DOWN." Special to the Chicago Defender Special to the Chicago Defender. St. Louis, Nov. 18.—Gompers, a foreigner, who has never shouldered a gun in any of our American wars, and is President of the A. L. F., said in a speech here, last night, at the American Federation of Labor Banquet, said in part: "Keep the Nigger' down, don't let him rise. You working white men, see to it that he is not made firemen, conductors, doctors, or professors. Bar him from the trades it is better to contribute each of us $5.00 a month and issue the Niggers rations like we do the Indians, than to let him use his hands and brains like white men." It too bad Mr. Gompers that your creator made the "Nigger" your exact image. FORESTERS HAD A HILARIOUS TIME. Monday night as a reporter of the Defender was returning from the Grand Opera, by way of the south side elevated a peculiar rumbling and excessive mathering was heard as the train stopped at 29th street. Every passenger aboard ran to the rear platform and inquired of the gateman if the threatened war between Japan and the United States had actually broke loose. Women fainted, children cried, strong men with pale faces shivered, even the train trembled as it rolled on nearer and more distinct came that awful sound and as the train pulled into the 25th street station. The reporter quietly and cautiously descended the stairs and just as he succeeded in reaching termina, there was a spontaneous out burst of laughter, followed by an indescribable mixture of wagons. The reporter crept softly on his hands and knees up to the back door of the Asia restaurant, at 14 E. 35th st, where the noise was coming from and after turning in a riot call which brought 2 wagons loaded with policemen who with the rporter grasped their revolvers all formed and ready for instant use. The held a counsel of war which resulted in the forces being divided so as to attack the front and rear doors simultaneously. Every thing now ready, we were again greeted with that volcanic eruption of mystifying noise which caused the reporter to delay the charge until he could find his revolver dropped through a sudden attack of "fright-e-tus" (Dr. Marshall please copy). Well said the commanding officer we must find out the cause of this unseemingly commotion in the glades of the Chinese Garden grip your "smoke wagons" tightly and follow me and when I give the command lot every man charge which was done and when the doors were farst open, what a sight met eyes. If I live a thousand years never shall I forget this scene. Standing in the center of the room with a huge demi-join of "dynamite" was daddy. Fitzgerald, D. D. Hawley, F. V. Babb, Bob Hardin, R. C. Kelley, D. M. Asbery, F. W. Taylor, A. Haskley, Dr. Marshall, S. Alston, F. Crittenden, R. Thomasson, A. G. F. Davis, R. C. Abbott and several other member of the Ancient Order of Foresters, each with a glass of water. Hm, him, before him and a tantalizing repast, on the way which was calculated to and dick tickle the palates of the most fastidious epirurium. The police after recovering their dignity "which we pay them to have" and partaking of the aforesaid water inquired as the cause of all this hilarity to which F. Duncan would have responded had not F. S. Dorth hit him over the head with a plate of chop suey and then in stentorian tones and with a majestic wave of his mighty right jaw. L. F. Smith arose and said, goupleun and officers? We are here as the guests of M. M. Roane who is not only celebrating his wedding to the blushing bride Mrs. M. M. Roane, formerly Mrs. Lemuel Moore. But he is also celebrating his 18th year as a Forester, having been a little "lunnie" in Seranton, Pa., some years ago, he is now part of the Forestic Frust and as he has so successfully lived in the past, we hope he will continue to live in the future, after which a resounding cheer was given and we all wen home at 4 a. m. satisfied. THE NEW NETHERWOOD CAFE'S CLUB. The Netherwood Club, 2906 State street of yesterday and today are two entirely different institutions, the one of today is the one we would like to call your attention too, for several reasons, because it is the finest on the South Side and composer favorably with any in the loop district. Mr. Howard S. Rheb, its proprietor who has had varied experience in club life saw an opportunity which was being neglected and came to the rescue of Society and established an institution right at your very door, where one after attending a theatre or dancing party may come and enjoy a real pleasant evening. Mr.H.I. (Kid) Harris, formally of the Travelers Club has been seceded as manager of this beautiful Palace a 3 months contract has been entered by the management with Miss Rosie La Belle, one of the finest entertainers this side of Paris, she has crossed the pond many times in this line and we are sure from the work she did on last Wednesday, evening, kings and queens would continue to enjoy her as they did two years ago. The best chief obtainable was secured last week and his part is assured beyond all reasonable doubt. With 4 entertainers, 16 waiters and a dining room with a capacity of 200 seats, we are sure there is nothing in the city of Chicago to compare with it. The grand stair way laid like the floor with velvet Brussels carpet and the beautiful roman lights hanging by heavy linked chain from the ceiling with each table a soft candlepiece light alternated on each table of red and white add lustre to the already maze of regal splendor. When we say that no cafe or club is to be compared with this, we even then have not put the matter strong enough. Mr. Riehl through the Defender invites Chicago's public to come to inspect the house and then form your own opinion as to its worth. ACCUSES DOCTORS OF MAYHEM. Woman Charges They Remover an Organ Without Her Permission. Dr. Fred A. Beasley, 42 years old, (white), one of two physicians who performed an operation on Mrs. Helen Brownlee, two years ago, was arrested yesterday afternoon at his office, 103 State street, on a warrant charging him with mayhem. Through a mistake in spelling the name of Dr. Burt S. Stevens, it being given as Stevenson, the second physician was not taken into custody, but he agreed to appear in court when the case is called. According to Attorney J. Gray Lucas, who represents Mrs. Brownlee, his client underwent an operation at the County Hospital and an organ was removed without her permission. SMITH-LEE NUPTIALS. The Most Beautiful in Years to Occur on Armour Avenue—Many gifts, Including Large Sums of Money. HAPPY MAY THEY BE. Her Bridal Dress Was of White Lace Over Cream Satin and Was Worm by Her Mother When She Married 24 years Ago. A very pretty home wedding, elegant because of its simplicity, was that tendered by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Morgan, of 3427 Armour avenue, to their niece, Miss Desdemonia Lee, on the occasion of her union with Mr. Roy Smith, of Springfield, Ill., Wednesday evening, Nov. 19, 1910. The house was beautifully decorated with white roses and chrysanthemums and in the bay window, where the ceremony was performed, a beautiful marriage bell was hung. To the strains of "O, Promise Me," sung by Miss Eloise Cook, the bridal party entered. First came the maid of honor, Miss Grace Lee, the bride's sister, attired in pink messaline; then came Miss Grace Shelton, bridesmaid, in pink velvet, after which came the sweet-faced little bride, leaning on the arm of her niece. Her bridal dress was of white lace over cream satin and was the gown worn by her mother at her own marriage twenty-four years ago. She carried, as did both attendants, beautiful shower bouquets of white roses. The groom and his brother, Levi, who acted as best man, and the bride's muse, were attired in the conventional full dress. The bride's brother, (Harry Lee) and cousin, (Chas. Booth), officiated in the capacity of ushers. The full Episcopal service was read by the Rev. W. D. Cook, pastor of Quinn chapel, assisted by Rev. D. P. Rohrers of Bethel church. The assembled friends then partook of a wedding supper of chicken salad, sandwiches, coffee, almonds, ice cream, cake and fruit punch. The hostess was assisted in serving the other guests by her associates on the Deaconess' and Stewardess' Boards of Quinn chapel. About 80 guests were present. The bride was the recipient of numerous gifts both useful and ornamental. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Tyler, of 3112 West 61st street, entertained the entire bridal party at breakfast the morning following, and Mrs. Ida Woody, cousin of the bride, entertained for the young friends of the couple Thursday evening, until their departure, and a shower of rice and good wishes, for the midnight train, which took them to their future home in Springfield, Ill.

It says: "This year of 1910 is drawing to a close. The records of population and harvests, which are the index of progress, show vigorous national growth and the health and prosperous well being of our communities throughout this land and in our possessions beyond the sea. These blessings have not descended upon us in restricted measure, but overdox and abound. They are the blessings and bounty of God. "We continue to be at peace with the rest of the world. In all essential matters our relations with other peoples are harmonious, with an ever-growing reality of friendliness and depth of recognition of mutual dependence. It is especially to be noted that during the past year great progress has been achieved in the cause of arbitration and the peaceful settlement of international disputes. Now, therefore, I. William Howard Taft President of the United States of America in accordance with the wise custom of the civil ministrates since the first settlement of this land, and with the rule established from the foundation of the government, do appoint Thursday, Nov. 24, 1910, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer enjoining the people upon that day to meet in their churches for the praise of Almighty God and to return heartfelt thanks to Him for all His goodness and loving kindness." YOUNG COLORED MEN IN ATHLF TICS IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES. By Julius N. Avendorph. The football season of 1910 will practically closes with the Saturday games both in the East and West. The game between Minnesota and Michigan, at Ann Arbor, is the game of the west, more so an account of Michigan Plaving Pennsylvania to a tie lost Saturday, and for several years prior to last year Michigan and Minnesota had broken off all athletic association, Minnesota defeated Michigan last year, but the general opinion is this year, Michigan has a better team, yet I do not think Michigan's relative strength can be judged by the game with Pennsylvania as that is about the only high class team Michigan has met. I predict a victory for Minnesota. If compliments can be taken seriously as a proof of appreciation, then I am truly satisfied that my articles have been appreciated by a large number of our readers. I have tried to make the articles as interest- ing notwithstanding the odds was largely against me, inasmuch as I was making an effort to interest a people who on a whole, know absolutely nothing about football, and in fact, know comparatively little about athletics. I have been called an athletic enthusiast, which may be true, but I base my contention that athletics are helpful to the Colored young man on the strength of a number of young men whom I know got their start through some alumni from the college that he, the Colored man attended. I say without fear of contradiction, that Lewis of Boston, got his appointment through the influence of some one or several alumni of Harvard. Mathews, I am told is in the law office of the father of one of the boys who played on the same team with Mathews. There are any number of cases I could enumerate which only goes to show what a mistake the Colored man makes when he does not take a part in athletics. I will make a selection of an all star team in next week's issue. CHRISTIANBURG INSTITUTE LAYS CORNER STONE. Special to the Chicago Defender. Christianburg, Va., Nov. 18th:—The Christiansburg Industrial Institute, E. A.

Pugilist Runs to the Faucet When Words Fail Him and Later Calls a Doctor-Thinks He Needs Rest. Special to the Chicago Detective Lowell, Mass. Nov. 18.—Jack Johnson, champion fighter of the world, who has been appearing in a vaudeville theater here, says doctors have told him that he has nervous prostration and after an appearance at New Bedford next week, he says. he will cancel his theatrical engagements. "Saturday night at the Franklin Hotel in Lawrence." Johnson said tonight. "I lost my memory. I could not seem to understand what was going on. I knew that I was wrong and I told my wife to take my revolver, as something told me I might do harm with it. Then I ran to the nearest cold water faucet and let the water pour on my head. A doctor was called right away. "In Haverhill I felt so bad Monday night that I cut out my monologue and limited myself to a boxing stunt. I attribute my condition to overwork. I haven't had a rest since my fight with Joffries. I'm going to take a long rest. I'm going to give up my world tour until I recover myself." LEWIS OUTPOINTS "DIXIE KID." Pays Old Score in Getting Edge on New York Negro. Special to the Chicago Defender. New York, Nov. 18.—"Will" Lewis paid back an old score at the National Sporting Club tonight when he defeated the "Dixie Kid," the local Negro welter-weight. In a ten-round bout, it was not a decisive victory for the white pugilist, for "Dixie" never lost his aggressiveness and numerous looking swing, but Leuchthus the better of it.

Marshall will be asked to address the first meeting, as he is a former student. Getting the Musical Pitch Musical pitch has a curious tendency to creep up. It is said that Back music sounds much differently now from what it did when Bach wrote it because the instruments are now pitched higher. In 1882 it was found that the pitch of high A at the Vienna Court Opera had crept from the described 435 double vibrations a set to 443, and in 1885 this number further increased to 450. According to a musical conference was held, a resolution was taken to recreate the old pitch of 435 vibrations, at second. Upon this announcement the Rechlsanstalt, the imperial physical and technical institute of Germany, set up standard instruments and has since tested and corrected many hundreds of tuning forks, shortening them if they are too low in pitch and thinning the arms if they are too high. All the military orchestras of Germany are pitched alike, and the Rechlsanstadt keeps the tuning forks correct. St. Catherine's Rock. Opposite the ruins of the old castle at Tenby, and separated by a belt of sand which is covered twice a day by a racing tide, stands St. Catherine's rock, off the coast of Wales. Until half a century ago it was no more than a rock, with a thick cover. In its sides and open passageways through its middle above and under water. Then the wisdom of the British war office decided that it should protect Pembroke docks, perhaps ten miles away by land and thirty by sea, and on the top of the rock, was built a fort. But when the big guns were mounted it was found that they could not be fired, for they shook down the rock from the arched passages and might have shaken down the fort itself. So the fort was dismantled and the guns removed, and a year or two ago the whole rock, fort and all, was sold for a few hundred pounds to a private owner, who uses it as a seniouse house for his holidays.—Argonaut.

Now that the Federation of Labor has taken in the White Rats, actors may be called upon to stand around idle during strikes. Two other amusing things would be to see the actresses go on a strike and to see the working girls and women suffragettes join in with the mess. Count Leo Tolstol, the great philosopher, had to wander away from his home by the river. There is no mention of the cause, but it would be easy to rob the world of the good deeds that he buried in the intellect of a genius if he is nagged at by anybody except his mother. What shall we do to be saved? Editor Clark of Mariana, Ark., asks politely. The only answer that seems to be available is to get down on our knees and pray to God to forgive us of our deliberate sins, just as often as we can. We should pray especially to be delivered from immorality, selfishness, strife, and above all, dishonesty, and we shall be saved. Ex-President Roosevelt's speech at Atlanta was excellently appointed "distrust the talkative individual who has his own plan for the uplifting and his embodiment of the race, while he himself employs it taking in washing" is what the Colonel said, and this: "A man's duty doesn't stop with his family, but begins there. He should see that his family is fed, sheltered and clothed and the children have schooling. LYNCHING OF MEN. The most deployable condition of life taking, backed up by a strong armed government on the part of white men who claim to be next to Jesus Christ in perfection is beginning day by day to reap its just reward. Mexico though weak in point of power has shown the world that though weak like a snake, will strike back—by a demonstration that will make the world take notice and if not successful America will know as well as the Americans in Mexico that there are a few races who notice must be taken of if none is taken of the Negro. Would to God that some American would lynch a Japanese, this is a prayer I pour out from the bottom of my heart and I do hope God will answer my prayer, and we will see then if our government will sit idle by and play and parley with state rights and other constitutional acts. We are weak, we cannot strike back, but the day will come when lynchings will be allowed. The man who has never trailed the dust, will be used as an exasperate to erase the name of America of the man. "Have you forgotten that she and all the other young ladies you know will be at the Afternoon Club Thanksgiving afternoon?" "My word! how thoughtless of me. I should have thought of that myself. Of course, I was going, but now—lead me to it! Many thanks, old top, for your kindness."

MUSICALAND DRAMATIG BY STLYESTER RUNSELL A. S. S. Foremost Dramatic Critic. DEFENDER ONE 15-11 LIEKO- THE FIGHT FOR HOME OF HONOR AT WASHINGTON, D. C We must next tackle the milestone theater, the diamond shop, by building the light. These courts they are, which hang and where people go to parade away three times a day, are needed theatre coaching and the other one's wouldn't have it. So the introductory growth with it is a big opportunity. In order to complete that may last forever and if the rush is too great, the theatre will be completed with the little theireng it looks as though the Howard will have to put on colored vaudeville shows and give two performances every night in order to compete. In recognition of the large patronage we enjoy with the best people, we have opened a branch of JONES' DIAMOND SHOP Mr. J. E. Web will have charge, and it will be his pleasure to show you what a dollar or two will do in buying a Diamond, Watch, or other Jewelry.

Smith, who is facing an important challenge, has many instructions from the press, he is no doubt a capable manager or ought to be by now a capable manager of between now and Christmas. Smith has now tried on everything from "Uncle Tom" to "The Waterloo," and now he is water-logged in a sea of mystic depth and all the actors now view the scene with the same wonder how deep is the chasm beneath it that they are damp them under. Its all a story of the brute of how if actors are not well, will actors be well? If actors will soils that never perish take new heart and new action again if the door of hope is short, that awful shadow which actors dread with fear and trembling, will the door open, that awful shadow which actors dread with fear and trembling, will the door open, that awful shadow which actors do. But it seems too early to answer that question in advance of imminent return in the idee and a pool thirty吝 of managerial merit that may meet with great success. UNBAR SANTARIM MEETING AT BE THEL.

Says Comedian Is a Tremendous Asset to the Negro Race. When I go to the theater, which is not often, I generally go to hear the colored comedian Bert Williams, says Dr. Booker T. Washington in the September American Magazine. I go to hear him, however, as often as I have opportunity, and I am seldom in the same city with him that I do not find myself, if I happen to have an hour of leisure, drifting in the direction of the theater in which he is playing. If I were a dramatic critic I suppose I might give some sound logical reasons for liking Bert Williams' style and methods. But I am not a critic, and vaudeville performances, as a rule, strike me as tiresome. There is so much that seems to me strained and artificial and lacking in the flavor of ordinary wholesome human nature. But Bert Williams' humor strikes me as the real thing. There is nothing secondhand or second rate about it. His fun seems to flow spontaneously and without effort, as if it came from some deep natural source in the man himself. Besides, there are a quality and a flavor about Bert Williams' humor which indicate that it is the natural expression of a thoughtful and observing mind. Bert Williams is a tremendous asset of the Negro race. He is an asset because he has succeeded in actually doing something, and because he has succeeded the fact of his success helps the Negro many times more than he could help the Negro by merely contenting himself to white and complain about racial difficulties and racial discriminations. The fact is that the American people are ready to honor and to reward any man who does something that is worth white, no matter whether he is black or white, and Bert Williams' career is simply another illustration of that fact. The Question of Human Rights. Speaking to a large audience of Afro-Americans in Brooklyn recently on the question of human rights, Charles Lenz, Ph. D., president of the Original Rights Society of America, said: "White nor black can compromise on the question of human rights. The south hates the north as much as it hates the Negro. It is the arch enemy of democracy. "The civil war was not carried to its logical conclusion, but it is too late now to correct the mistake. There is trouble ahead for the nation, for this question must be finally settled right." KNOX SOUNDS WARNING. Time For Negro Voters to Break Camp, He Says. Under the caption "Put Thought Into It" Editor F. E. Knox of the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman says: "The Negro voters for years have shown a devotion to the one party—Republican—which for faithfulness is really pathetic. As long as old conditions maintained, when all the good came through one party, as it was thought, to community, to country, to race, these voters were doing the proper thing, since it should be the purpose to bring about the best possible condition to all. "But parties change, as men change, as the fashions change. The good thing of yesterday is a bad thing for today. Politics is as variable as the waters. "If clinging blindly to the past means present perturbment, then it is the plain duty to swing out into the clear, get a better bearing on things. Pick and choose your change and then anchor alongside. "We hold that something of the thing hoped for will be gained if the Negro voters break camp, scatter as the necessity calls, into such parties and groups as answer their political views, such views being influenced by the happenings and circumstances that change other men. "This is the political intelligence that must be exerted in order to avoid the grooves where men stagnate and decay. Neither party at this day wishes the blind allegiance of a class based on services tendered in a past that is no part of the present." Might Have Been Unpainted.
