THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 25. SHIFTING SCENES THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE PASSING SHOW ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS The Strongest Ticket That Could Have Been Named—Will be Elected With a Whoop—Some Remarks on Vice-Presidency as a Stepping-Stone. Roosevelt and Faizbanks! This is the invincible ticket nominated by the Chicago convention that has just passed into history. We cannot refrain from exclaiming "we told you so!" The whole country has been telling the same story in concert for the personnel of the Republican standard bearer was a foregone conclusion many months ago. The ticket is the very strongest that could have been named. The "pace setting" states, New York and Indiana, are happily combined, and neither of the candidates are "discoveries." Neither needs an introduction to the people. They are known throughout the confines of the nation, and their records will shine resplendently under the most rigid investigation. Theodore Roosevelt is the first man reaching the presidency through accident, who has so endearled himself to his party as to win the nomination for the regular succession. He has wiped away the vice-presidential "hoo doo," because he merited the supreme confidence that has just been reposed in him. An exception has been made in his case because he is an exceptional character. It is not fulsom flattery to say that no president since Lincoln has so deeply impregnated the American nation with his magnetic personality, lofty ideals, pure patriotism, manly independence administrative vigor and refreshing originality of methods as has Theodore Roosevelt. That he will be elected as a vote of confidence by the people he has served so well in so many ways is as much assured in our mind as was his nomination. Our countrymen of every race and conditions should rise above party above mere political prejudices and recommission gallant Theodore Roosevelt to carry on the work at the White House for which he seems divinely appointed. Of Charles Warren Fairbanks we have had many good things to say since he came athwart the national horizon. When he entered the senate in 1897, fresh from the ranks of his fellow citizens, it did not take long for the country to find out that there was presidential timber in him. With unobtrusive dignity and rare diligence he addressed himself to his legislative duties, and at once went to the front, outstripping without apparent effort the seasoned veterans who had been rated as giants in the forensic arena. He grew upon the people as he grew upon the senate, upon the party leaders and in the eyes of his devoted friends. He treated all classes alike, high or low, rich or poor, black or white, and was never too busy to give the humblest a kindly smile and a word of good cheer. We admired Senator Fairbanks from the outset, and as the Spanish-American war progressed, early in his senatorial career, having a most favorable vantage ground for studying his plan of action and knowing of the effective assistance he was giving President McKinley in subduing the Castilian foe, we became more and more impressed with his quality as a statesman. It was in the summer of 1898, while serving as managing editor and opinion scribe on the Washington Coler d American that I enjoyed the proud privilege of proposing Senator Fairbanks as the superior of proposing Senator McKinley when the labors of the then chief executive should have naturally ended, whether first or not to suggest Senator Fairbanks in this connection, we were not alone in our estimate of his great value in that trying crisis or of his availability as a candidate for the presidency, for it was conceded on all hands that he was of full presidential size and stature. Had not the insurtable operation of fate sent McKinley to an untimely grave, bringing a new order of things to the fore, with Roosevelt in the saddle, the Chicago convention might have been a Fairbanks ratification meeting with today vice presidential nominee on the other end of the ticket. These reflections are drawn out by the spontaneous approval of Senator Fairbanks' nomination as President Roosevelt's running mate, which em- phasizes the very sensible policy in these latter years of naming for second place only such men as would be gladly accepted for the first place. Every original Fairbanks followers has been since the death of McKinley a stanch Roosevelt follower for the glory of the administration's achievements have been distinctively Roosevelt's, and in the face of many embarrassments he has fairly earned the spurs he so gracefully wears. The opportunity was his and he proved more than equal to it. This is preeminently a Roosevelt year, and the hosts who are to do battle in the campaign are equally enthusiastic over the fact that they have at their head so dashing a leader, and that he has a companion so entirely worthy of him. The party feels sate when both ends of the ticket are so evenly balanced, and there is intense relief that the vice presidency has not been regarded as a mere "consolation prize," to be tossed over to a nondescript or colorless makeshift. --- It has been a mistake all along to look with disdain upon the exalted and honorable office of vice-president of the United States. We have unwisely belittled it by sneering at it because it carries no patronage and only moderate emoluments, and men who would have ably graced it, have refused it because of the popular notion that it was a political burying ground. There is no good reason why such an idea should obtain, and there is likewise no reason why the country's best men should not feel honored by being called to the second office within the gift of the most progressive people on earth. The truth of the matter is that the vice-presidency is a "shell" only for the caliber of men who ought to be "on the shelf," and who would be the merest figure heads anywhere they might be placed. If it has "shelved" a few individuals it is because parties have been so unmindful of the proprieties to attach a "poor stick" to the tail end of the ticket without marked personality and who possessed no qualification that would have commended him for the first choice of the nation. The vice-presidency did not shelve Garret A. Hobart. It would not have shelved Roosevelt had he remained in it for four years. It will not prove a sepulchre for fairbanks. It will not kill any "live" man. The vice-president is but one remove from the presidency, and in every person called to the position there is a possible president. It is easily seen that a single life between the chief executive and a notorious incompetent would be a menace that no true American could fail to view with the deepest alarm. It behooves us then to exercise as great a degree of care in selecting a candidate for vice-president as in naming the candidate for the higher office. In accepting the nomination for vice-president Senator Fairbanks takes no backward step. He knows the place and is honored by it. The time is coming when the vice-president will be in fact as well as name the people's second choice for president and the office will be a natural stepping stone to the White House. It is too soon to induce in predictions, for 1908 is far away, and a more serious duty confronts us now. The ticket just named must be elected. We feel very sure, however, that the friends of Senator Fairbanks will be just as numerous and 1,000 per cent aggressive four years hence, and that the man who has labored so earnestly with McKinley and Roosevelt will be summoned to occupy a niche in history beside them. The platform adopted at Chicago is more than usually significant. Its more note is courage—the courage that comes of confidence in its righteousness. The tariff, Panama canal, gold standard, Philippine policy, labor and capital and army and navy problems are satisfactorily treated and President Roosevelt is endorsed from every point of view; but we are most profoundly impressed with this bold plank, touching the elective franchise: "We favor such congressional action as shall determine whether by special discriminations the elective franchise in any state has been unconstitutionally limited, and, if such is the case, we demand that representatives in congress and in the electoral shall be proportionally reduced as directed by the Constitution of the United States." This is 'taking the bull by the horns' with a vengeance. The gage of battle has been thrown down, and the Republican party faces a clean cut issue. More pronouncedly than at at anytime in twenty years, there is presented a positive demand for human rights, equality of citizenship and a firm stand against the criminal aggression of the South in the rape of the ballot box. The Republican party fights best under the banner of human rights and civil brotherhood, and is weakest when it forgets the DEMOCRACY CIVIL LIBERTY PARTY TO SAINT LOUIS THEY BOTH MEET JULY 6TH THAT LOOKS FUNNY A Song Without Words cause that brought it into existence. Of course the South is angry—it is cut to the quick by this effort of constitutional decency, and will try to confuse the issue by saying that the race question is thus made paramount. Southern leaders will play upon the pride of the white people by declaring white supremacy to be at stake, and seek to array class against class, race against race—but we hope the nation is too intelligent to be fooled. There is no race question bound up in a just demand that the organic law be respected upon every foot of ground over which the stars and stripes wave. When there is fraud in the suffrage of the South the white man is injured in the same measure that the black man is injured, although we seem to feel it the more because the application is more direct. The chiccany that robs the black man of Alabama because he is black and prevents the white man to vote because he is white, filis dishonest seats in congress and in the electoral college and places in jeopardy the will of the whole people, both in elections and in legislation. When the contest is close in states where every ballot must be counted as cast, the fate of a president or the maintenance of our protective tariff might turn upon the electors or congressmen sent up from the rotten boroughs of Dixie chosen by a minority of the rightful voters of that section. A white vote South, under the anomalous conditions is equal to three white voters in the North, and renders it three times as difficult as ought to be for the Republicans to retain their control of congress. So, this suffrage question is one apart from race—intimately as we may be affected. It is a broad, American question, and we hope the party will stand loyalty by its guns, and stir the national heart for the enforcement of the law South as well as North. If the suffrage is abridged and the state is upheld by the supreme court then let that state be reached by the only remaining course—reduction of her power in the councils of the republic. There is no need of further trifling. The South cannot keep her cake and eat it. We cannot have thousands of qualified voters held as subjects and yet bring the benefits that belong to full-fledged citizenship. We have been deceived before by fair promises, but we can trust Theodore Roosevelt to back up all promises made in this manner. We can rely upon him to justify the closing paragraph of the party's platform, which declares that he has held firmly to the fundamental American doctrine that all men must obey the law, that there must be no distinction between rich and poor, between strong and weak, but that justice and equal protection under the A Song Without Words. law must be secured to every citizen without regard to race, creed or condition. With these vital principles in the balance we may look for a battle royal between now and the ides of November. SHARPS AND FLATS. There was a delightful crop of June brides. Tuskegee Institute will hold a great summer school next year. Dr. W. D. Johnson, an able educator, is the new president of Allen University. Bishop Turner is having lots of fun making monkees of the ethnologists who hesitate to believe that the original man was black. Harper's Weekly is not what it used to be. Its assault upon Mrs. Terrell's masterly article on "Lynching" was positively silly. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says there is dead loads of race discrimination at the W. D. Johnson A. standard journal like the G-D., ought to know. The fellow who is always noting resemblances finds that IXeivoyne Frant. Hancock, who made the speech nominating Roosevelt, looks like Editor T. Thomas Fortune. Mrs. Josel D. Heard carries the instinct of the true poetess into the naming of her beautiful home at Logan Station, Philadelphia. It bears the romantic title of "Greystone Crest." The A. M. E. General Conference is to be congratulated upon several things it did not inflict: It refrained from inflicting "Rev." Joy Albert Johnson upon the bench of bishops. Rev. H. T. Johnson is now editor of the Christian Recorder sure enough. The enlarged powers conferred by the recent general conference have given him a confidence and that bode well for the church and the race. Rev. J. M. Henderson's views on the work of the recent A. M. E. General Conference are all very good, but they seem to bear the marks of a personally conducted blue pencil. Henderson, minus the "ginger", is like the James "amet" with the melancholy Dave edited out. Miss Jeannette L. Gilder, the erudite literary critic, devoted a column and a half of complimentary remarks in the Louisville Courier-Journal to Booker T. Washington's latest volume: "Working With the Hands," as a worthy sequel to "Up From Slavery." Editor W. Calvin Chase is still discarding pessimistically upon Negro leadership. The trouble with the race is not a lack of competent leaders. There are too few faithful followers of the best leadership, represented by Lyon, Gates, Fortune, White, Lawson, Lyon, Gates, Knox, Stalk, Miller, Terrell and Bowen. Judge (of corn whisky) Robinson, of North Carolina, is off of the national committee for the committee's good.

Chattanooga Items THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION DISTINCT GAINS MADE BY THE COLORED DELEGATES THE "NEW" PLATFORM PLANK Hon. Walter J. Cohen and Hon. J. Madison Vance's Heroic Fight Against "Lily Whiteism"—Credential Committee's Contemptible Ruling. The Republican National Convention brought to Chicago the largest number of prominent colored people that have been here at any one time for many years. From every state in the South and from nearly every state in the North they gathered either as delegates or interested spectators of the convention. So far as I have been able to gather from the many things said, done and attempted two distinct gains have been made by the colored delegates in attendance. First. The Louisiana black Republicans under the courgeous and intelligent leadership of Hon. Walter J. Cohen and Mr. J Madison Vance deserve high praise for their heroic fight against "hily whiteism" in the South. They came to Chicago with a strong case against the unrepublican conduct of the lily white crowd of politicians. So well did they present their case that they won before the national committee by a vote of two to one. The victory thus one was a signal one, and received a great deal of attention from the press and leading Republicans. The Cohen Republicans won everything they fought for before the national committee, but the credential committee of the convention robbed them of the full measure of their victory by seating both factions with one half vote to each. But while these gallant contestants failed to get all they fought for they have done valuable service to the party by making "lily whiteism" odious, and many white Republicans have learned for the first time just what this lily white movement means, and in the future will be less willing to give hearing to the specious plea of the southern whites who are Republicans for revenue only. The Louisiana fighters were able assisted by the colored Republicans of Illinois, and by the aggressive canvassing of Mr. Charles Anderson, of New York, and others. The second gain is the following plank in the platform of the convention: "We favor such congressional action as shall determine whether by special discrimination the elective franchise among states has been unconstitutionally limited, and if such is the case we demand that representation in congress and in the electoral college shall be proportionately reduced as directed by the Constitution of the United States." Although the much talked of Suffrage Convention met in Chicago during convention week with not more than ten delegates it had nothing to do with the plank in the platform above quoted, as it is well known that this action had been suggested and decided upon weeks before the national convention convened in Chicago. The strong and aggressive position taken by the leading colored Republicans of the convention gave just the moral support needed to make this proposed plank an established fact. The social features of convention week were quite numerous and delightful. Dr. and Mrs. Daniel H. Williams gave a reception in honor of Hon. J. C. Napier and Hon. Judson W. Lyons at their beautiful home on Forest avenue. A finer aggregation of colored men of high distinction is seldom brought together. They were received with chaming grace by Mrs. J. C. Napier and the host and hostess. The result of the convention is well known, but those who were not present cannot well appreciate the splendid impression made by Mr. Harry Cummings, one of the orators selected to second the nomination of the president to succeed himself. The colorful orator was in fine trim, and the carrying quality of his voice was a delightful surprise. His speech was the shortest delivered, but he swept the audience to the platform as he made his telling points in a way that everybody in the vast audience could hear and appreciate. Mr. Cummings did the cause of the Negro great good by his patriotic, brave and strong words in defense of his party and his race. He was the hero of the hour, and well deserved the tremendous applause he received. Taken altogether, the convention of 1904 has left a wholesome feelings of hope and encouragement among a sometimes hopeless people. THE BRUNWICK SALOON G. W. HOLT, Proprietor, 1925 Market Street.

The very fact that the Dixie Kid had beaten 29 men in the past two years in an average of five rounds each gave confidence to the conspirators that the fight would prove so even that it would be an easy matter to give the decision either way. This was the reason, undoubtedly, that the dirty work was attempted, and the only thing that made their figuring come wrong was the wonderful form shown by the "Black Demon." There was never a time throughout the whole combat that the Californian had a chance. He was a plaything in the hands of the welterweight champion, and only by displaying the most remarkable gameness did he manage to stay his part of the wrong. The moment that the wrong had been committed Walcott knew that he had been jobbed, and in his indignation at the prostituting of the ring, he slugged the rat who gave the decision. It is only fair to say that not the slightest suspicion attaches to the club officials. One cheap bookmaker, whom I have had occasion to denounce before on account of mean tricks that he has employed, is in my opinion at the bottom of the affair. He poses as a gambler and makes books upon the various fights that are held on the Pacific Coast, but at every opportunity he seduces some one of the principals, or buys up the referee. The possibility for wrong came when Eddie Graney sent word to the club that he was too ill to act as referee. This placed Manager Coffroth in a bad predicament, and as Duck Sullivan had refereed the preliminary satisfactorily, Manager Coffroth requested the principals to accede to his selection for the final bout. Walcott has been abused so in the past that he immediately demonstrated and refused to go into the ring with Sullivan. At the guarantee of Manager Coffroth that he would see that no wrong was done, Walcott went into the ring and defeated his opponent decisively, only to have his honors taken from him at the final moment by the uncorrupulousness of one, in whom decent fellows like Coffroth, had placed implicit confidence. Manager Coffroth righted the wrong as far as he was able by awarding to Walcott the big end of the purse, although, of course, he could not change the decision. The verdict did not take away Walcott's championship honors, as the men weighed in at 143 pounds, one pound over the stipulated weight in the welter-weight class.

This necessary toilet article will accomplish two results in one operation. It will straighten and dry the hair quickly, effectively and satisfactorily. Its use will give the hair its natural appearance. It is positively the only device on the market that will accomplish such results. The purchase price will be refunded if it does not accomplish all we claim for it, by returning it to our office. Stop and think how the public is being deceived by extravagant advertisements of various pomades and many impractical straighteners that are foisted upon the market, which are injurious to the growth of the hair, and after their use leaves such an unsightly appearance. We will forfeit $100 for any so called hair tonic or preparation that will make the hair straight and soft by applying it without leaving the hair with a greasy, pasty appearance, thereby retarding the growth of the hair and softening the hair follicles, causing it to collect dandruff and dust, which is a great cause of so many bald heads; and the promoter of the wig industry. We ask you to name us a hair straightener, of any drug composition, that does not produce these effects. Now in comparison, The Magic Hair Straightener and Shampoo Drier, which is a straightener consisting of a steel bar and an aluminum comb attached, six inches long, with an ordinary amount of heat, dries a head of hair after a shampoo and straightens it as fast as it is combed. Its mode of operation is easy upon the hair, thereby eliminating the pincher method, which almost pulls the hair out from the roots. The comb separates the strands leaving a beautiful and natural appearance. A heavy head of hair can be straightened in less than thirty minutes. Its use a few minutes daily following instructions will straighten the hair where hours of combing will not. It will save the loss of hair that excessive combing produces, and we guarantee that it is the only device that will accomplish such results. It has been carefully and skillfully examined by the chief examiner of the United States and other countries and has been granted a patent as the latest and most practical appliance of its kind on the market to-day. It will be found an indispensable article of the toilet by all who take pride in their personal appearance. It has the endorsements of physicians. Price $1. Address MAGIC HAIR STRAIGHTENER MFG.CO.

To the headwaiters who encourage gambling, vice or moral depravity of any sort in the ranks of the men they employ, let me say, you are helping those men to stamp the most cruel lie that ever sprang from the bowels of hide-bound prejudice: That rape is a crime natural to Negroes. It is for you by your every act of purity, by your stern regard for upright living and truth: it is for you who lead more Negroes than any other leader, with the exception of the preachers, to raise the standard of race unanimity for the betterment of morals, for the purpose of closing the chasm which wildens dally between the races, and that this cruel accusation may be hurled back from where it originated, at the feet of the W.

God knows we were tainted at the source by circumstances over which we had no control. God also knows that whatever the Negro knows of crime, such as theft and rape, no such crimes existed in Africa, and this knowledge can only be rightly placed at the doors of contact, such as the Negro has experienced, with American civilization. With this contact has come many good and beneficient results as well as many vile and depraving effects. It is the way of creation. We cannot question it; we cannot wonder why. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants His footsteps on the sea, And rides upon the storm." The spirit of unanimity should govern the race in their dealings one with another when a Negro starts an enterprise; the organization should be there to spur him on; the buyer should not evade the seller whom he is duty bound to support. A black man is a coward who will do that for a white man which he scorns to do for his brother in black. In this connection I might say: I have seen Negro men in public conveyances yield their seats to women of fashionable hue and refuse to do the same thing for a poor hard working black woman because, forsooth, she carries a basket of clothes, or her hair is kinky. Every dollar that that woman has earned was an honest dollar, and I have no respect for any member of my race who scorns honest toll. A few days ago, in a fashionable Negro resort, I saw two men about to come to blows because one had called the other a boot-black. D. H. SAUNDERS, Secretary.

I have no respect for the Negro who looks with scorn upon the common occupations of life. The headwaiters need to catch this spirit of unanimity. I have known some of them, posing as leaders, hire all men of light complexion and refuse all men that are dark; that man also has my supreme contempt. Here lies our inherent weakness. This effort to escape the race; this struggling to whiten the skins as if these things can add one whit to material progress. Hair dyes, face bleaches, wigs have failed to hide your identity. You must be satisfied and proud to be a Negro. No divided people, no people struggling to get away from themselves can in this age of unanimity fight the battle of the survival of the fittest. Color cannot hide virtue, neither can it wreck a man's immortal soul. Oh! Ethiopia, had I the wings of Ariel, how often would I lift thee to some mount where, with luminous eyes, thou could see thy children everywhere flotsam and jetsam upon the wild high seas of life, under the polar star, sweeping southern bays, standing in the shadow of the sphinx, looking down upon the sad and sorrowful sepulchers of Egypt, walking the mighty Appian ways of the fallen Caesar's crossing the Rubicon; noiselessly trading the silent halls of the Eternal City; sitting in contemplative mood in Westminster Abbey beside the cross of St. George, and the ancient arms of Richard Ceour de Leon. How often would I have said to thee, Oh, Ethiopia, these are thy children, ragged or rich, tossed or driven, yellow or brown, lynched or burned, despised or hated, and my heart goes out to them the children of the backward races, every one of them, every one. Unanimity should govern us in our corporate capacities for good. I congratulate this association for the high standard you have set in forming a union, not for the purpose of raising strife, not for the purpose of the boycot, or strike with all its attending horrors and evil results upon the preservation of free government, but for the elevation of the only field of labor absolutely opened to the Negro. Far be it from me to condemn the labor union, they are creatures of necessity, they sprang into existence, in just a position to the inequitable laws instituted by capitalists. England suffered labor to grovel for hundreds of years, and not until Lord Coke's time did the light of justice cast its beaming rays upon the dark horizon of debauched labor, not until 1848 did the law making powers deem it pregnant to relieve the pressing hardships, and it is little wonder that such industrial inequality existed at that time in the British Kingdom, where landed proprietors were few, where ranks and titles were maintained with ostentations display, and weere the humble born were taught to obey rather than to aspire. But the very difference of our free government, our wide and unclaimed tracts of land, our vast resource and the abundant opportunities afforded.d the employee of to-day becoming the employer to-morrow, makes the need of the labor union less felt than at the time and under the circumstances which gave them birth. Then again these labor unions, to a certain extent are creatures of caste, giving colored members certain limited rights or barring them entirely. The National Federation issues a proclamation telling its colored members to steer clear of certain towns, the few guillible Negro waiters who have allied themselves to that federation are therefore limited in their privileges, rights and immunities. If my life, limb and property as a oztzen of New Jersey are not as safe in Camden as in Newark, then there is something the matter with State. If as a member of the National Federation my chances are not as good in one city as another, of what does it avail? If my right to be employed is upheld by the master, of what does it avail the Negro to have white members placed? It is a fact that cannot be denied these unions are bound to obey the same inexorable law of caste forgetful of the circumstance for which they were created, forgetful that all men are of the same flesh and blood, subject to the same diseases, warmed and cooled by the same winters and summers, they coldly insist that the Negro shall enjoy certain limited privileges, or, further still, they bar him absolutely. Gentlemen, when I think on these things I am wont to say as did Mark Anthony over the dead body of Casar, "Oh, justice, thou hast flown to brutish beast, and men have lost their reason." With the rapid assimilation of industrial unions, whether in the production of raw material, whether in the ranks of skilled or unskilled labor, or, in the common occupations of life, no field will be free from the contamination of the federation. With the usurpation, therefore, of all the markets of labor, these unions would not only deprive the Negro of his constitutional rights, but of his rights "in personum" as well. How appalling the ensuits with the Negro barred from honest competition in every field of labor and forced to eke out an existence through the exercise of his wit alone. Already the field of labor is becoming so pinched and dwarfed that the Negro can hardly find space in which to toll. The occupations which he formerly held as absolutely his own as the Turk's bag-pipe, are slowly but surely slipping from his grasp. Many of the best hotels in the country are employing white waiters, although the Negro received less wages, was less expensive and is decidedly the better waiter of the two. The black coachman is as rare now upon the box as a white elephant in a circus. The colored chambermaids and cooks are being replaced by Irish maids and French chefs, even the ranks of the excluded, and he too is asked to take a back seat. To add to these unjust discriminations in the field of industry is the growing civil hostility to the presence of the Negro, to say nothing of his social ostracism. With the capitalist opposing him, the employed refusing to work with him and the employer refusing to hire him, is it any wonder that many of our young men drift into crime? Think of the hundreds and hundreds of idle Negro boys and girls roaming the streets of the great American cities with nothing to do, no where to go, doors open to admit them to the pool-room, the grogshop and the houses of ill-repute. All this in a Christian land is enough to make a savage envy us. Dying in the heart of a great city amidst the hum of the spindle, the whirl of the shuttle, the din of the workshop and factory, the glare of the belching fires turning away great bars of steel stands the outcast Negro, a fitting symbol of man's inhumanity to man. What then are the remedies? The problem lies with the Negro himself; his ability to grasp the vital principle of unanimity. Just so far as danger lurks in the trade unions, that segregate and excludes the Negro, just so far does danger lurk in any effort to segregate and exclude the white. They must move along the line of least resistance and to take the places of those who are on a strike is setting a precedent that forebodes no good to the race. In spite of our inability to catch the principles our progress has been marvelous. In less than thirty-two years, according to ex-Congressman White, we have reduced our illiteracy nearly forty-five per cent. We have written and published 500 books. We have 300 newspapers, three of which are dailies. We have 2,000 practicing lawyers, a corresponding number of doctors. And I would further add to these statistics that we have about 3,000 head and second waiters and probably 100,000 sidewaiters. We have accumulated $12,000,000 worth of school property, $40,000,000 worth of church property. We have 140,000 farms and homes valued at $170,000,000. We have 82,000 school teachers. We have built 20,000 churches. We support seven colleges, seventeen academies, fifty high schools, twenty-five theological schools, a corresponding number of industrial schools, and in the South alone we own over 600,000 acres of land. All this we have accomplished under the most adverse circumstances, in the face of the Jim Crow cars, in the face of peonage, disfranchisement, lynchings, stake burnings, riot, pillage and untold oppressive measures. We have had some friends, but they have been less active than our enemies. It remains now for this association, and for other like associations including the church, the True Reformers, the Odd Fellows, the Masons, the Knights of Pythias, the Good Samaritans, and others too numerous to be mentioned, to catch the spirit of unanimity. It remains for them to open a way by building stores, by starting factories, by driving an entering wedge through the closed doors of industry, and thereby make way for the generations yet unborn to take their place along side of the most advanced nations in science, in art, in culture, in industry, in commerce and wealth. Industry alone will not solve the problem. Industry and science are co-relatives and must go hand in hand. What industry could have laid the cable, freighted it with messages of love, and flashed it beneath every wave of the sea. Were it not for the scientific mind of Cyrus Fields, what industry could have fashioned the steamboat and spanned 4,000 miles of rolling waves in six short days? Were it not for the scientific mind of Robert Fulton what industry could have caught the human voice, retained its tender tones, depleted its every motion, wave or stress? Were it not for the scientific mind of Thomas Edison ignorance is a poor pedestal to sit industry upon. The man of science, according to Ingersoll, "having seen a leaf and a drop of water can construct the forest, rivers and seas." In his presence cataracts fall and foam, the mist rise and the cloud float. He has been a citizen of Athens in the days of Pericles; listened to the eloquence of the great philosopher, has sat upon the cliff and with the tragic poet multitudinous laughter of the sea. He has seen Socrates thrust the spear of question through the shield and heart of falsehood. Was present when the great man drank hemlock, and met the night of death tranquil as a star meets morning, he has followed the perpathetic philosophers, and has been puzzled by the sophists. He has watched Phildas as chiselled shapeless stones to forms of love and awe. He has lived by the slow Nile, amid the vast and monstrous. He has heard the great Memmom's morning song; has laid him down with the embalmed dead, and felt within their dust the expectation of another life. He has lived the life of savage men, has sat beneath the botree's sombre shade wrapped in Buddha's mighty thought. He has dreamed all dreams that light the alchemist; has wrought from dust and dew and stored within the slumberous poppy's subtle blood. He has lived all lives between the morn of laughter and the night of tears between the false and true, and the careless shadows and tragic deeps of human life. As a fitting conclusion, then, to this great question of unanimity, I would say that the same education which made the white man will not unmake the Negro, and the same industrial pursuits which have made the white man rich in this world's goods will not make us poor. The industrial Negro in the United States asks no favor of his white brother; he asks only for a chance to earn his living whether it be in the workshop, the factory, the railroad, the steamboat, the hotel; whether it be in the use of the spindle, the tug of the throttle, the press of a button, the carrying of a tray. A spade, a rake, a hoe, A pick-axe, or a bill, A hook to reap, a syeht to mow, A fall or what you will. Do this, and we will grow stronger in grander each day. Do this, and the time will come, When peace over the world her olive wands extends, And white robed innocence from heaven desecends, When lambs and wolves shall tread the dewy weeds, The ox and the lion at one crib shall meet, And laughing boys in playful band the tiger lead, And harmless serpents kiss the pilgrim's feet.

We are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from one a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that there is no truth to be reached. It is not everyone who placards the self as a Medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of any acquaintance that these advisers do not take the truth study human nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring that will have a tendency to make the way to the road of the business clear and dovoid of obstacles. It is an unmissable fact that persons will come for want to know, and yet as soonas they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they think they should not. If it is the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used to hold the hand and gain control of the there by, is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done, and by concluding that this is the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are intrigues in connexion with "city tongues" perhaps, the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished Medium, and by a continuous and uniring effort, the key to the well of parently unfathomable mysteries have been procured by MRS.

KNOX, Publisher. ———— “ATURDAY, JULY 2, 1904, THE OGDEN PARTY. ‘The results growing out of what is known as the “Ogden Party,” has stirred up things in Boston, It is something in which all shou'd feel a decided interest. This inci dent is but one mors number in the pro- gram through which the South is effecting conquest of the North, The speech of Henry W. Grady, scme years ago, marked Its beginning. Since that time R. B. Till man, Ex-Governor McCorkle, Thomas Nelson Page, John Temple Graves and a score of other Southern men, ail of whose intellectual brilliancy there can be no ques- tion, have sought to win the sympathy of the North to their treatment of the Negro. Their books, magazines articles and speeches in the Nerth have been inter- spersed with junketing trips which they have conducted into the South, The more earnest the champion of human rights, the more eager are they, that he make the trip. After a few nights of banquets and a few days of viewing the worst to be found, the results are much the same, and the party usually returns with excuses for the mis- , deeds of white men, at the same time hold- ‘ing a less hopeful view of the Negro. Haw could it be otherwise? It will continue to be thus until there is an investigation that Investigates. Let these searchers for truth make an extended tour and inquire among all classes and conditions of men. They will at least learn this: That no amount of cleanliness, refinement and education will excuse one for being so careless and reckless as to have been born with a dark skin. They will find that men have been forced to leave the Scuth for no other rea- son than that they protested against outrage and wrong. They will find a condition similar to that for which we arraign Russia. They will find that these same traducers of a race preach a moral code for which they show not the slightest respect. We know of no charge made against the treatment of the Negro that cannot be proved, if proof is sought. Let it be remembered that the fact of the existence of many ignorant, and some vicious Negroes, can- not justify the mistreatment of those who are not so. We have no doubt of the honesty and sincerity of such men as Thomas Went- worth Higginson, nor of his friendliness toward the colored people. “He says— education first; your rights will follow.” We hope so. Yet we would prefer that every guaranteed right be made secure even though it require the aid of the Federal Government to enforce it. Cer- tainly we feel and appreciate the position of Mr, Trotter and others when they say that liberty should be considered as of first importance, and that, these being secure, the rest will follow. They contend that no encroachments should be permitted on the rights of the citizen, and voice the fear that such losses, instead of being temporary, will become permanent. It is not difficult to appreciate the feelings back of both of these positions. One side represents the course which its advocates believe to be the easiest way out, the other the course which its advocates believe to be the best way cut. One contends for what is likely to be, the other for what ought to be; and, certainly, what ought tobe, should be. It was Wm. Loyd Garrison, Jr., who said, “After all, the real deity of this world is not so much the god of the things that are, as it is the god of the things that ought to be. ‘The results of the Republican Convention contained no surprises, for the reason that the expected happened. The manner in which the nomination for Vice-president ‘came to Mr. Fairbanks must have been THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED:COLORED NEWSPAPER very gratifying to him. There was no un- dignified scheming nor wire-working. 1! came to him unsought, as did the nomina- tlon of Roosevelt four years ago. This is very’ p'easing to thore who are old fashion enough to still believe that the office should seek the man, The clause in the platform relative to disfranchisement is likely to attract some attention, even though it is mild, and only Promises obedience to the constitution, “We faver such congressional action as shall determine%whether, by special dis- crimination, the elective franchise in any State has been unconstitutionally limited, and, if such Is the case, we demand that Tepresentation inf Congress end in electoral colleges shall be proportionately reduced, a3 directed by the Constitution of the United States.” Unless, tke constitution is to be dis- regarded and arbitrarily set aside by a State, weTfeannot see wherein objec- tion canfbeZfound to this plank. The of- Position will, in all probability, segard this 3 a sop intended for the colored vote, but we take it seriously. We shall expect re- Suits, We believe it{will have an effect on the colored vote. We haveZnothing to lose by believing in its sincerity, and acting on that bellef, But this promised action is somewhat tardy. {The fire has been allowed to burn, unmolested, and it will require more effort to subdue it than would have been necessary“at the beginning. If, how- ever, the {party is to remain the party of Progress and«retain a just claim to the championship of human rights, it must continuefto provelltself true to the principles which gave itllife and growth, HUNTING AN ISSUE. It ts beginning to be apparent that the Democrats are going to try and make an issue out of the declaration in the Republi- can platform, that they, the Republicans, favor looking into that “‘grand-daddy” business of the South. Jaccb P. Dunn, our city comptrolier, has this to say in the Sentinel: “When the Republicans, in their plat- form, advocated the reduction of represen- tation in the South because of alleged re- strictions of the franchise in certain cases of Negro voters, a new issue was created that should at once be taken up by the Democrats. The Republican platform ad- Vocates the reduction of Southern repre- sentation because, as it alleges, Negroes in many cases, are not permitted to vote. I am heartily in favor, now that this has been placed before the peorle, of the Dem- cratic party, at its national convention, adopting a plank declaring for a white man’s party and advocating the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitu- tion, and the repeal of so much of the Four- teenth Amendment as applies to Negro suffrage.” Coming from Mr. Dunn this is to be re- gretted. Mr, Dunn has borne the reputa- tion as being a ian of lofty sentiments and one possessing a sense of fairness toward any and all classes. During the time that he was editor of the Sentinel he wrote a number of editorials which bore a striking contrast to this interview. There isbut one way of accounting for the change, and that fs, he has put politics above justice and honesty. He is but doing what meny thousands are*doing, but we had hoped that, to him, no mess of pottage, however large, could induce him to ald in robbing another of his birth right. The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. No one knows better than he that this issue, if it has been raised, was not raised by the Chicago Con- vention. It is being raised by those mem- bers of Mr. Dunn's own party who have been violating the constitution under the pretext of purifying the ballot, thus making the rule of the minority secure. And let us again state that the Negro has no fear of any just law, however ctrict, provided it be honestly enforced, Surely it is not asking too much when we ask that color be not considered in the qualifications for voting. If this must become an issue, then let it come. We will meet it as best we can, The results will be just as effective on one side as the other, and to both sides the consequences equally great. We shall then know whether the people of this coun- try measure up to the standards they have set, or whether they, themselves, shali fail by their own measurements. We are ask- ing for justice—not charity. The time of the year has again come when we feel scrry for the Fourth of July erator. We didn't always feel so, but we do now. Just how he is going to talk of that glory-day without being constantly haunted by the fact that America is now engaged in establishing a colonial system, is difficult to see. Wanted: By J. P, Dunn & Co., some means by which they may get the offices. No objection as to method. in bis address to the high school of At- lantic City, N. J., the seventeen-year-old son of Wu Ting Fang used these words : ““A nation which has no conservatism is, of couse, easily changed from its ancient customs and manners to the new. Yes: but that which can be changed easily ence can be changed just as easily again and again. It can also return to its old ways. It flickers with every wind. When a nation is conservative it adheres not only to the old civilization, but also to the old standards of morality. The one is but a superficial defect, while the other is of Intrinsic value. Culture may revolu- tionize with time, virtue Is immutable for- ever. Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” | Still we think these people need “ctvil- izing.” James G. Guy, a lawyer of Topeka, Kas., thinks that the Negro problem, so-called, would be settled if we cease to talk about it, We are of the,opinion that he mistakes the effect for the cause; the symptom for the disease. You cannot cure malaria by ‘scraping the coat off the tongue. There is much senseless, talk on this subject, tut so long as the entire race Is held responsible for the crime of one, we cannot plead guilty by silence. Of course, if all would “hush up" and mind thelr own busi- ness, and punish the criminal for his crime, things would be far better. But they won't, One of the most important meetings for colored people, which is to be held during the summer, is the fourth biennial meeting of the National Association of Colored Women, which will be held in St, Louis, July 12th to 16th inclusive, Meetings will be held at St, Paul's A. M. E. Church, corner 26th street and Lawton avenue. From all indications this session will be the most largely attended of any in the history of the organization. Count Le> Tolstoi is the only man in Russia who can say what he p'eases. He fs so much loved by the common people that an injury to him would precipitate a revolution. He is living long before his time. He denounces all evil, and, as a re- sult, those who are on good terms with evil denounce him as a crank. Tell the world of its weaknesses and you will re- ceive the condemnation of the world, The Southern gentleman regards it as somewhat disgraceful to do manual labor. For this reason those who wre willing to labor for others are given abundant oppor- tunity. The Negro is not denied opportu- nities for earning money, but he is denied opportunities fcr spending. In the North he is restricted in earning money and also in spending it. If the colored vote was about equally divided between the various political parties there would be no talk of distranchisement. This vote would have been divided if the Democrats had made it possible for it to divide, Those who have seen the need of this division, and have scught to aid it, have been like plants trying to grow ina pathway.

Regards to our many friends. Notes from P. G. Lowery's Vaudeville Co., with 4 Paw and Sells Circus.—Mr. Willmore is singing "Eliza Jane" with great success, while Arthur Wollige is making a hit with the popular song, "Any Rags," he leaves the audience screaming at every performance. The famous Carter trio never falls to make good. Sallie Lee is making a hit with Barney. All sends regards to friends. P. J. Lowery sends regards to Baynard and Whitney, and wish them much success. Mr. S. T. Whitney, with Baynard and Whitney's Famous Troubadours writes.—The company is still making good and the whole company shows a marked improvement since the opening week. Chas. Borga and Emma Bayard are making a big hit in their vocal duet entit'd "A gippe of the jungles." The Taylors, Chas, and Nettle awake great enthusiasm with their musical specialty. Mr. Watkins is still performing wonders with the band and doing some remarkable solo work on the side trombone. H. E. Handy's Original Plantation Minisets with the Dixie Amusement Co. reports a very prosperous season. The show after July 15, will add a light piece band, and will play county and state fairs until October, when Mr. Handy will organize a colored comedy company of thirty people, and will tour the theaters throughout the Pacific Coast, in fact the show is keeping all competent people and hiring all others that can be found, so as to be ready for the road in October. The gent in white never misses, and all are happy and contented. Joseph Weber and H. D. Collins, late of the Black Patti company, will engage in a musical comedy success entitled "Queen of the Jungles." The talent will be all col- THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ored after the style of the Black Patti company and as it is to be started out in first class style will undoubtedly prove a winner. One of the features of the supporting company will be Bob Kelly, who was with the Black Patti company. The bright particular star will be the peerless colored artist Madame Flower, who is billed as "The Bronze Melba." Notes from the New Orleans Minstrels.—We will soon be in Arkansas again. We play Little Rock about Jun. 29, Hot Springs to follow. Everybody is well. Williams and Stevens, travesty artists, close some time in July, and will be seen with a "Hottest Coon in Dixie" company. There will be a few more closing later on, but we are expecting some more to take their places. The management would like to hear from good people at any time. We are looking for our treasurer, Mr. Oakes, back some time next week with a surprise for the boys. June 19 was celebrated by the "None Such" club of this company. In Ardmore there was over $50 spent in making the spread a grand one. Our fishing and hunting club will bring in their report of this weeks' work tomorrow. Regards Mr. Walter L. Crampton, writes.—Our show is improving in every way; we play to S. R. O. houses every Sunday and Wednesdays. People enjoy the show sitting out side of the big pavilion. Mr. Golden has put three new attractions on the out side for his guest and the generous hearted manager is making big preparations for the 4th of July. He intended to give $25 to the poor in cash and add two new faces to the show. Secunian Brown joined us last week. Chink was on the sick list. Brown and Brown starred the show. Jimmy Alton has arranged his new quartet singing, "Summer time in Dixie land." Wm. West held the stage 40 minutes Sunday singing, "Let the scabs go home," taking six encores. I had to make an excuse for him to get him off the stage. Mrs. Pauline and Walter Crampton are still making good. Pauline sends regards to the Red Fox and the Exchange Threaters. Outing at Al Hammonds' Park July 4. Management of Ed (Chip) Lewis. Perhaps one of the most unique offering from an amusement standpoint among the colored people, will be the picnic and general outing under the management of Mr. Ed Lewis at Hammond's park on July 4. Almost everything in the line of fun will be a part of the program. "Chip," as Mr. Lewis is familiarly called among his friends is thoroughly capable of handling the immense crowd that is expected. The "bad" element which usually dominates such gatherings, will be clear of "Chip's" picnic, for they know that perfect order is one of his cardinal principals, and nothing else will be tolerated. Everyone may attend this picnic with positive assurance that nothing will take place to offend the most exact lady or gentleman. There will be boat races, sack races, foot races, dancing, croquet, base ball and other popular amusements sufficient to entertain all who may care to attend. Take Fair Ground cars, get off at terminal; there will be wagons there to transfer you to the grounds. Notes from Fernandina.—Jno. W. Dennis writes: Although the weather is exceedingly warm here, we are still giving great satisfaction at each performance, with our comedy sketch, "Miss Betsey, the queen of coon town," Mr. Lew Peyton appeared at the Gem Theater one night last week, and made a hit singing, "If you're a cook, stay in your place." Mr. Richard Cross, comedian and vocalist, is still holding his own, Lula Williams, soubrette, is among the new arrivals. Hattie Harris, of the team Payton and Harris, is filling an engagement with credit. Dennis Mitchell, the Southern favorite, is still on top making good. John W. Dennis, the comedy king of Kansas, is making good singing, "My Dixie Lou" and "I got a feeling for you," and sends regards to Albert Carroll. Miss Stella Jones sends regards to Annie Jones and Hattie Bluford. Miss Maggie DeVoe, the little cake walker of Savannah, died of consumption on the 29th. The Gem Stock company regrets her absence from its company. Mr. Frank Butler, a young business man here, has opened a first class fruit and candy store for our people. Mr. Dave Morrison, general manager of the Hall Way Theatre, is assisted in handling their large trade by these gentlemen of ability: Messrs. Luther Robinson, A. W. Archer, Arthur Morrison and Tommy Breeze. The Freeman seems to be the prime factor and is growing gradually in demand. STAGE NOTES AND SHOP TALK. (By Sylvester Russell.) The reeet death of Frank L. Sanger, removes from time one of New York's most distinguished managers. Mr. Sanger was manager of Madison Square Garden. Joseph S. Cotter, whose book-drama I have criticised so frequently, it must be understood, is a gentleman of qualities. It will be justice to state that in my opinion he is a crank only as a playwright aspirant until he proves otherwise; but his poetry and literature, educationally, proves him a shining star. I may review his book of poems later. Black Patti Troubadours is said to be the best show that visits Nova Scotia. All the farming country, they say, for miles around turn out in generous proportions to the nearest town possible, to hear the famous diva and to see the comic show. Mme. Sissiferetta Jones would smile quite long if she could hear the Irish native farmers say; "Black Potti sings folne." The disagreement between myself and the manager of a well known new music publishing house, has been settled out of court. We may otherwise state that our dispute is agreeably ended so far as The Freeman is concerned. It seems that the party in question did not quite see into my contention, at first, regarding the word "nigger" in coon songs like the disgraceful song, "I got mine." Leslie Thomas, ex-theatrical manager, who figured in the Springfield, O., race war, whose liquor resort was set on fire by an infurated mob, was formerly manager of the Afro-American Specialty Co. If his late show had been a success, he would have given up the liquor business. "Les" Thomas, as his friends call him, was never cut out for the show business, and his failure to detect men with ability to run his show rendered his advent a failure. Lew Dockstader in his efforts to be a trump minstrel card, had best out out some of his commonplace projects. He might easily be termed a "Democratate tool" or "good thing" in the rather one sided issue of the coming walk-over. If Dockstaker is a legitimate performer, he is not a legitimate actor by any means, and has not far to go to loss his prestige. Geo. Primrose, king of minstrelsy, it will be remembered, retired from the stage to get rid of him. One of the main reasons why many colored comedians do not get much work as they think they ought to have is because they are too lazy to study new songs. Comedians like Irving Jones and Harry Brown work continually because they deliver new goods. There is no use to stand and wonder about these things. Wonderment never did anything. To study songs faster than white performers do, will be more profitable than lounging around in clubs or calling on lady friends. The manager a "Hottest Coon in Dixie" company, in advertising for good looking women, uses good common sense. Colored actresses will please bear in mind that high priced wigs look stylish on the stage. Managers do not have to look for light women to find good looks or good hair. Bad looks and bad hair is equally divided among colored women of all shades. Managers can only find true discoveries of looks, hair and talent (the greatest of the three) in the mix-up. Speaking of the "legitimate standard" of presenting plays, it will probably be remembered by actors who were present at the initial performance of "In Dahomoy" at Stanford, Conn, a few years ago, that Berg Williams had to hold the stage alone for over five minutes. This was before the play was changed. He did not come to the footlights or address his audience in illegitimate monologue style, but commanded attention only to his work and acted the part. Ada Overton Walker in her famous "wheelbarrow soone" did the same thing. Mr. Williams has always shown intelligent judgment in his stage work, a thing so many of our actors lack—common sense. Perhaps this will be a valuable tip to the "bronze Melba" and her leading man, whoever he may be, in their coming venture. We hope he is George Williams of Smart and Williams fame, so that we can expect something good. Have I guessed anywhere near right?

The Northern Star Stock Is Full Paid Non-Assessable, Non-Taxable and No Personal Liability. THE MILITARY CAMP No apology is necessary for any person investing in a legitimate, well managed gold mining proposition. The greatest amount of new wealth has been created and added to the world's stock of money by business like management of gold and silver mines. The most famous mining district in the world, to-day, is located in Central Idaho, and includes the famous Gold Mining Camps, of Buffalo Hump, Elk City, DIXIE and Thunder Mountain. The Northern Star Mine is located in one of the richest Camps of free milling gold ore in all this district, viz: DIXIE, IDAHO. It is more accessible and at a lower altitude than other mining camps in this district. Thirty Million Dollars was taken out of Dixie in Placeer mining before quartz mining was begun. There are several mines that are bonanzas, which are owned by private parties, of which the public bears nothing. Large quantities of ore carrying good pay values have been encountered. The ores are Hematite and Pegmatite free milling gold, which can be mined economically and milled at a low cost. The same formation identically that existed in the Home Stake Mine, of Black Hills, South Dakota, and the Virginia-Comstock of Virginia City, Nevada is found in large quantity in the Northern Star Mine. The formation is a true fissure vein in place and of indefinite depth. This is an ideal condition for economical and profitable mining, even if the values per ton were lower than the actual mill test proved. All investors in mines have to either rely upon their own judgment, or the judgment of reliable and well known experts, and the business management of the property. A gentleman in Indianapolis, Ind. upon the advice of Capt Burbridge invested $1600 00 in the Le Roil Mine and in less than seven years, after receiving about $10 000 00 in dividends sold his stock for $70 000 00. People who bought stock in the Homestake Mine, eighteen months after it was under development, have an investment to-dav that is worth $5 000 00 for every $100 00 invested and are drawing dividends every year. THE NORTHERN STAR MINE BY CAPT, S. L. BURBRIEDGE, E. M. An eminent mining engineer and expert of international reputation and pronounced ability. In October, 1903, The Northern Star Mining Company, of Indianapolis, Ind., and Spokane, Wash, requested Capt. S. L. Burbridge, E. M., of San Francisco and Spokane, to examine their property near Dixie, Idaho. Capt. Burbridge's initial report on the famous La Roi Mine of Rossland, B. C., as this date reads like prophecy. His later report, after the property had been developed, resulted in the sale of this mine in London for over a million pounds sterling (£1,000,000). He is well known as a mining engineer and expert of unquestioned capacity and ability in California, the Southwest, Utah and Colorado, and especially well known in the Great Northwest Mining Districts. His reports have resulted in mines being financed or stock in Toronto, Montreal, Boston, New York, other cities, and in London, England. He is also favorably known to several prominent people in Indianapolis. REPORT OF CAPT. S. L. BURBRIDGE. E. M. SPOKANE, WASHI, October 30, 1903. H. D. Yoder, Esq., Indianapolis, Ind. DEAR SIR-By request I visited and examined the property of the Northern Star Mining Company, situated near Dixie, Idaho county, Idaho. The surface extent of the property is five claims of 1,500*600 feet, and the Defender Fraction. I find on the property two well defined true fissure veins, running nearly parallel through the property, with a course of 100 feet through the property. The west ledge, running through the Southern Star and Evening Star, is about five feet wide at the deepest works, sapp. 50 feet below the surface. A tunnel has been run on the Southern star some 600 feet, but has only attained a depth of 50 feet below the surface. There is another tunnel 90 feet long, started on the same ledge, but after a few feet from the mouth has left the ledge to the west and has been run in country rock. The first tunnel has developed a chute of ore about 75 feet in length and 5 feet in width of ore of good milling value. After passing through this ore it has been run on the ledge, but through an almost barren area, and now is coming into another pay chute or the one on which the 90 foot tunnel was started. The ledge running through the Ceres Star, Northern Star and Defender Fraction is a true fissure vein beyond a doubt, and so far as developed, about 2 feet wide, and will mill from $10 to $20 per ton. There is now on the property a new mill of two batteries of two stamps each made by the Hendy Manufacturing Company. of San Francisco. There is also a new Wilfley concentration table in the mill, and every single complete to start up, except some slight changes in the number of the water tank and the number of the short time and a few dollars to remedy. There will also need to be a car track constructed from the mine to mill, but that will be a small expense. On the property there are all the houses necessary, consisting of good lumber boarding house, bunk house, office and good cellar for provisions. There should be a few thousand dollars raised to get things started up and in shape, so as to be able when once started to develop the property by sinking a shaft to a depth of three feet, the believe can be done from the profits derived from the ore that can be milled while the shaft is being sunk. I would now advise buying a hoist, boiler and pump now at the Dixie Queen and moving same to your property, and as soon as the mill is ready to start, to start sinking a shaft on one or the other of the true fissure veins on your property. If this is done with economy and intelligence the mine can be made at once self-sustaining during the period of development and I am of the opinion that it can soon be made to pay dividends. There is much that I could say to you that would be of benefit to you and your company if I could see you personally for a short time. Yours respectfully, (Signed) S. L. BUERidge, E. M. The officers and management of the Northern Star Mining Company are well known, reputable business men of Indianapolis, who have controlled the management of this property to its present successful position, with the able assistance of Thomas Hye, superintendent. It will require some additional funds, however, to carry on the development of the mine simultaneously and upon a large scale, according to plan as outlined by Captain Burbridge. This will result in the mine becoming a producer and profitable within a reasonable short time. The affairs of the company have been conducted with the same care and supervision as any commercial manufacturing or banking business. The mines comprise 112 acres of free milling gold quartz in six (6) mineral claims; well equipped with a main working and drainage tunnel and with an abundance of water and timber close at hand. Over two hundred assays show an average of over $29.12 per ton. An actual mill run of twenty five (25) tons surface ore (which was the best ore obtainable) turned out a gold brick valued at $12.34 per ton of ore. Some ore has been found that has assayed over $300 per ton, which proves the high values that are found in this ore. Capt. Burbridge advised sinking simultaneously the three shafts that have been started, which he guarantees will produce more than enough ore in the sinking of the shafts to run the present mill its full capacity continuously. The property is equipped with excellent buildings, mill house, mill and in every way is equipped in a modern, up-to-date manner; capable of handling the cre and doing the business in the most economical manner possible, thus producing handsome profits to the investor. Isn't it better to invest in such a mine with values determined and with excellent equipment than to invest in a prospect confined to one or two claims? Isn't it better to invest in a property of this character, with the claims in one body, located upon the mother lode of the camp, which insures permanent and good paying values to an indefinite depth? Is the opinion of Capt. Burbidge, also the opinion of Capt. Burbidge, engineers as to the value of this property; also Mr. Anil Moffett, technological chemists of Indianapolis, of national fame, who spent two years in this district with a large mining company as assayer. He recommends this mine and its ore deposits in an unqualified manner, never has been a visit made by a prospective investor who has invested and several more largely than intended, thus commending itself as an investment. We herewith quote from the Elk City Mining News, of Idaho, whose expert recently visited our property, and renders the following statement, wiz: "The Northern Star Mining company in Dixie have two tunnels and three shafts making a total of about 1000 feet of work. The number two tunnel taps the vein at about 200 feet. The Northern Star Claim has a pay chute four feet wide and continuing for 175 feet in length with an average mill value of about $12 per ton. There is great activity in Dixie Camp this year, greater than it has ever enjoyed in its history. Extensive preparations are being made for several properties to be operated on a very large scale." Several experts have figured that the average cost per ton will be $2 50 for mining and milling the Northern Star ore. This statement is based upon actual operations of an adjoining mine with mill in active operation. Hence, any investor can readily compute the profit that will accrue on an average of ore valued at $12 per ton. Furthermore the tallnings can be easily cyanided and save 94 per cent of all the gold values; hence the ore can be treated successfully at a very low cost, with an ideal saving of the values contained in them. CONCLUSION It is safe to say that with our mill in operation and producing bullion, North ern Star Mining Company's shares will not remain very long at twenty-five cents per share. Since the organization of the company the stock has almost treebled in value. There is only one issue of stock or securities. The authorized capital is one million shares, of one dollar per value, of which only 720 000 shares have been issued. This offer and present issue is 100,000 shares offered for a limited time at twenty-five (25) cents per share (par value $1) . No certificate issued for less than fifty (50) shares. Checks and drafts should be made payable to H. D Yoder, Pres, and addressed to him at the company's office, 744 Newton Claypool Building, Indianapolis, Ind. If queries made of him will have prompt attention and will bring complete information on any point. Isn't it better to invest in such a mine with values determined and with excellent equipment than to invest in a prospect confined to one or two claims? Isn't it better to invest in a property of this character, with the claims in one body, located upon the mother lode of the camp, which insures permanent and good paying values to an indefinite depth? You have the opinion of Capt. Burridge, also the opinion of several other miners' engineers as to the value of this property: also Mr. Asnill Moffett, technological chemist of Indianapolis, of national fame, who spent two years in this district with a large mining company as assayer. He recommends this mine and its ore deposits in an unqualified manner. There never has been a visit made by a prospective investor who has not invested, and several more largely than intended, thus commending itself as an investment. A Supreme Educational Need Met. A Normal School devoted to the Professional Training of Teachers, furnishing that correlation of academic and industrial education, discipline, professional training and practical skill which will best fit them for teaching. The Institute for Colored Youth with a most valuable history of sixty-six years in Philadelphia, Pa., presided over by such distinguished educators of the race as Charles L. Reason, E. D. Bassett and Fanny Jackson Coppin has been reorganized under Prof. Hugh M. Browne to meet what the late Dr. J. L. M. Curry considered the supreme need in the educational work among our people; namely: "A professional school which should combine teacher training, industrial training, kindergarten work and where better ideas of home life might be inculcated." The school will begin its operations September 1904 at its new site at Cheyney, Pa., about nineteen miles from Philadelphia on the P. W. and B. R. R. The grounds cover 117 acres. The new buildings and the equipment will be up-to-date. The institute has at present an endowment fund of about $210,000. The proximity of Philadelphia will afford unusual educational advantages. The school is under the management of a Board of Members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) and is undenominational. The corps of instructors will comprise only teachers of broad training and experience. The school is open to graduates of higher institutions, high schools and persons who have completed work in History, the Sciences, English and Mathematics equivalent to that required in the first three years of a high school course. In addition to the other industrial subjects there will be a practical course on the "Useful Applications of Electricity." Miss Agnes Miller of Chicago, speaks to young women about dangers of the Menstrual Period. "To Young Women: — I suffered for six years with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. "If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and happy."—Miss AGNES MILLER, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, Ill. — $5000 for original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt and proper attention. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. For State Senator Armin C.

JUSTICEANDLIBERTY THE CORNER-STONES OF THIS GRAND REPUBLIC LECTURE BY DR. D. E. CALDWELL Delivered Before the Students of the Arkansas Baptist College-Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty- The two Liberators and Their Work Following is a synopsis of the lecture delivered by Dr. D. E. Caldwell, of Oceola, before the faculty and students of the Arkansas Baptist College at Little Rock, April 22, 1904. Dr. Caldwell is one of the leading physicians and thinkers of the colored race in the South, and the sentiments that actuate his professional and social life, as expressed in this lecture and on other occasions, does his mind and heart great credit. "Far back in antiquity, somewhere in this broad and extended universe, there was a God at whose will worlds were spoken into existence. This God of whom I speak made man, and deep down in his heart he planted the principles of justice and liberty, decreeing that all governments built upon the two great corner-stones should forever stand. Stand all the waves of political agitation; stand the onslaught of many revolutions; stand the criticism of kings; stand the assaults of many tyrants; stand while generations come and go; shall almost stand when this world is on fire. And He, this God of the universe, further decreed that any government built upon or operated under any other foundation shall surely fall. Yes, fall, though her fame may reach the four corners of the universe; though her steeples may kiss the skies; though her engineers may be able to dam up the Nile; to change the course of the Amazon to build the pyramids of Egypt; to construct the Panama canal. Yes, though her soldiers may be victorious upon any field, may seemingly annihilate any foe, yet if her deeds are not inspired by the love of justice and liberty, like Babylon of old, she will fall, and great indeed will be her fall. The chief corner-stones of any nation's growth are justice and liberty. The promoters of individual liberty have forever been honored, the tyrant has always been despised. "Monuments of gratitude will continually be erected to the benefactors of mankind, while death to the tyrant will always meet public approval. No village church bell tolls his funeral knell; no tears, which are woman's chief weapon of defense, will greet his departure. Two visions of the past arise before me. They lived in different ages and in different olimes. They both were promoters of universal as well as individual liberty. One was born in the land of Egypt and was washed among the bulrushes of the Nile; the other was born in the state of Kentucky and hid in the land of obscurity. The one was found by Pharaoh's daughter and was reared in the house of the king. The other was discovered and brought from the land of obscurity by his fellow citizens and neighbors and reared in the heart of this grand and glorious republic. The one smote the waters of the Red Sea and bade the children of Israel march through dry land. The other smote the chains of American slavery and bade 4,000,000 souls be free. The one died a mysterious death and was buried in an unknown spot by the bands of angels. The other was killed by a vile assassin and buried by the loving hands of his countrymen. The one is the hero of sacred history and is the guiding star of the past. The other is the hero of American history and is the guiding star of the present. The one was Moses, the other was Abraham Lincoln, who declared by his life that this government should forever stand upon the two great corner-stones of justice and liberty. "Lynching does more to brutalize the Negro race and the entire South than all the other agencies combined. It prevents the peaceful existence of these two great nations; it engenders strife and increases bloodshed, and in time will make the Negroes the greatest band of deperadoes that ever walked upon the face of the globe. "I have defrayed my own expenses in order to meet the young men and women of this institution, representing as you do the germs of the highest intelligence. You are the few among the many who have chosen this institution to prepare yourselves for the beacon lights of life; you are to be the sign boards of our eternal progress; you are to be the guiding stars in the nation's adversity; you are to be the source of illumination in the dark clouds of scandal, and finally you are to be our moral and intellectual Stonewalls in all the battles and conflicts of life. "One day, while journeying along through life, my mind came across the Arkansas Baptist College, the literary volcano of the South. A volcano that bursts once each year and sends forth her fire and smoke even to the very [Name] DR. D. E. CALDWELL, Oceola, Fla. gates of the New Jerusalem, and spreads her lava over this Southland, and, I might say to some extent, over this entire union. But, thanks to the Almighty God, her fire is not the fire that burns, nor smoke that stifes, nor the lava that kills. She sends forth the fire that purifies, the smoke of redemption and the lava that heals. Her fire burns up ignorance only; her smoke stifes only superstition; her lava kills all unreasonable malice. And when the unborn historian of the future shall stand upon the crowning heights of civilization to which we shall then advance, and, with a spyglass in hand, shall view the depth from which we shall have risen, he will see no greater force for our uplifting than the Arkansas Baptist College and no greater lever of elevation than its distinguished president and faculty. The question that concerns your president, and faculty, and friends of your institution most is not what you are today but what you will be and where you will be twenty years from today. There are many places to which you may go within the next twenty years. You may travel to fame, honor, fortune and renown, or you may go to an eternal and everlasting disgrace; you may get into the boat of discretion and good judgment and pilot yourself by good conduct to the land of distinction, or you may do the reverse and go to the land of perdition. I hope you will choose the better path, hope your souls will be so imbued with wisdom and understanding that they will guide you safely over life's tempestuous sea. "Liberty, in one sense of the word, means good conduct, and it is something so easily lost. That one great orator has said that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and if liberty is one of the chief corner-stones of our republic, good conduct and discretion are the chief corner-stones of liberty. "Now, as to the race question, we must cultivate the good will of the southern white man, and there is no better way to do this than to be honest, industrious and meek. 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.' There is plenty of room upon this American continent for us all. Yes, there is room for millions more of industrious, loyal and patriotic American citizens. But there is not room enough upon this broad American continent for one traitor. The fire of heaven will consume him, or the earth will open up and swallow him down. "And now I am about to bid you good beep. This is probably the last time I will lecture from this platform "WHO CAN CURE WEAK MEN?" It is the simplest thing in the world to be cured of nevons debility and look of vital power if only you have the good sense to place your case in the right hands. In Detroit there is a doctor specialist, H. C. Raynor by name whom we know to have a prescription that we sincerely believe will cure any case of sexual weakness, enlargement of the prostate, losses, prematurity, inability, etc. it makes old men have the capacity of youth and young men again vigorous and full of vitality and life. It is really a marvelous cure for weak men at all ages, and if you would like to have this prescription you have simply to write the discoverer, Dr. H. C. Raynor, 112 Luck building, Detroit, Mich., and he will send it to you free of charge in a plain sealed envelope. The prescription is as good as you please, and there is no charge whatever attached to it. Best of all we are capable it will cure you, so write at once to the doctor at the above address. but at the great and final judgment when all nations shall be gathered together; when together with the sleeping saints the heroes of all nations shall assemble. They shall come from the mountain top and from the valley, from the land and from the sea. Each class of men shall walk up before Michael, the recording angel of time, and demand that his name be first upon Fame's eternal scroll. First will come the warrior presenting his millions in battle slain, then will come the statesman, because he has successfully managed the affairs of state; then will come the ministers, pointing him to the millions that have been redeemed by the blood, reminding him that it was he who pointed them to the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world; then Michael, the recording angel of time, dipping his pen into the holly inkstand will write high up upon fame's eternal scroll the name of George Washington, because he founded this great and mighty government and built it upon the everlasting corner-stones of justice and liberty." NO MORE BLACK FACES A comparatively few years ago a man would have been considered insane if he had thought of talking by means of a thin wire to a friend thousands of miles away. But you see how it is when it has been once accomplished. With a telephone in every house we think nothing of talking to a friend in New Orleans or Chicago. Now there comes a man who says the wires are unnecessary. We can talk to friends across the sea without even wires. Only a small device made out of substances that have existed for ages in the world of matter. A few years ago it was thought impossible to change the color of the Negro's skin. But science has overcome this seemingly impossible feat. Every now and then we read of a Negro's skin turning white and puzzling the doctors. Were the truth known it would be found that in every instance Black-NoMore was used, and as soon as its merits become generally known the question of color will be a thing of the past. A new factor has entered into the life of the Negro. No man need be different in color from his fellow men. Race wars, lynchings and race prejudice will be only a memory to blot the pages of our history. Black-No-More, this wonderful skin bleach is perfectly harmless, and acts on the cells that lie beneath the outer skin giving the skin its color. Its constant use will change the skin to a pure white. Send for circular and full information to Black-No-More Chemical Co., Chillicothe, O. TO GENERAL AGENTS ONLY. As a special inducement to the general agents selling five hundred dollars worth of our remedies this company offers them around trip ticket from their homes to Chicago by the way of St. Louis and stop-off privileges if they desire.

Jordan Scott, colored, who died at his home in Lafayette, Ind. on Saturday of starvation, took an unwilling part in the execution of John Brown. Scott, who was a slave, was compelled to spin the rope that was used in the exeoution and it was with aching heart that he thus helped end the life of a man who had set his mind on freeing the slaves of the South, Scott avoided notoriety, and for this reason but few people in Lafayette knew that he had played an important part in one of the greatest historical tragedies of the United States pee A rush for the doors almost result. ing in a terrible panto on the night of June 18, in Atlantic City, N.

PSRs hereon Louisville’s Enthusiastic Testimonia to Rev. Olement, the Newly-Elect- ed Editor of the Star of Zion. Lontsville, Ky., Special.—The repre sentative citizens of Loulsiville, New Albany and Jeffersonville turned out en masse last Thursday evening at Broadway A. M. E. Zion Church to testify to their deep sense of admiration tor Rev. George Clinton Clement, A. M., who has just retired fron the pas- torate of that church after four years of hard, constant and fruitfal labor. When the glad tidings came to the peo: ple of this city that the St, Lous gener- al conference had chosen Dr. Clement as editor of the Star of Zion, the official spokesman of the half million of Zion communicants in this country, the re- gret that he must leave the work here which had prospered so healthfally un- der his care, was illaminated by the re- flection that he was to take up other duties for humanity in a sphere that offered much broader opportunities for usefalness, Preparations were instant- ly begun by the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, of which he wasan active force, and by the members and friends of Broadway church to bid Dr. Clement ‘good bye” in a manner that would In some measure indicate the es teem in which he and his splendid family are held by the oltizens of the surrounding country. These arrange ments culminated Thursday evening in one of the largest and most enthuslastic outpouring ot people that even Loule- ville has witnessed on a similar ocosaton in many a day, Preacher and laymen, Zionites, Bethelites, C. M. E.'s, M. E's, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Christians and Baptists rallied regardless of de. nomination to pay their sincere tribute of respect to the good man who had been so slgually honored by bis breth: ren, and who was to go ont from among us to labor in another field. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, editors and the toller: with his hands were as one, contending only for the privilege of saying the best things for the retiring pastor.
