NUMBER 26. SHIFTING SCENES THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE PASSING SHOW AMERICA'S BACKWARD TENDENCY Vardaman Takes Advantage of the Temporary Storm of Race Prejudice to Repeal the Fifteenth Amendment -Absurd NegroDomination. By Our Special Staff Correspondent. Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi, seems determined to be the prime conspirator in the backward tendencies of the American republic. He is taking advantage of a temporary storm of race prejudice to becloud the real issues of the day, and to pitch the tone of the impending campaign in a key that is false and far below the register of thinking people, North and South. In common with other southern leaders who possess much more cunning than wisdom, he perceives the "handwriting on the wall." The North is tired of the South's crimes against the ballot. It is tired of the South's babyish whining to be allowed "its own way" in the settlement of a great national problem. It is tired of the perennial agitation, growing out of unconstitutional laws, mob violence, specious opositions of an impossible Negro domination and an absurd social equality, and, further, the padding of congress and the electoral college with frandulent claimants, holding certificates bathed in blood and reckoning with a corruption that "smells to heaven." This weariness has found positive expression in the Republican national platform, and the South recognizes the painful fact that for the first time since the administration of Ulysses Simpson Grant, there is a man behind this declaration of reform, who means business and who will back up every word of the demand for a return to the letter of the federal constitution, or who will mete out, with merciless hand, the punishment duly provided for a restriction of the suffrage. We may not be prepared to admit that the fifteenth amendment cannot be enforced, but we do know that the penalty for its violation can be assessed, and that is something that ought to be tried when moral and legal sanction fails to yield the results desired by the framers of the constitution. --- Governor Vardaman boldly throws down the gauntlet and wages the repeal of the 15th amendment, which forbids an abridgment of the suffrage on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. He essays to speak for the entire South, and congressional and electoral representation if thereby the obnoxious Negro can be eliminated from all participation in affairs of government. He appeals, therefore, to the state rights sentiment of the South to stand up for the principle of state sovereignty as against federal authority, supplemented by the fallacy that the supremacy of the whites is threatened by the constitution, on its face. Whether the South is a unit on Gov. Vardaman's confederacy are in the minority in this country, and they will never be permitted to bring the loyal North to a permanent acquiescence in the policies against which the soldiers fought for four long years. The post bellum followers of Lee and Jackson and Davis can not win by bluster and fraud, the victory that was denied them by the grim armburial of war. If it be true that the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments were "shot into the constitution" they are there to stay, and all of the howling that the rebels of the southland and the few doughfaces of the North can do between now and doomsday will not cause the great body of our patriotic people to yield up one jot or title of the price that they died for in the Wilderness and sealed for all time under the azure sky at Appomattox. The Vardamans, Gormans, Morgans, Tillmans, Graveses and Carmacks may yell to their heart's content and crawl innumerable files in their slogan of "a white man's government," but the 15th amendment will not be repealed, and if Theodore Roosevelt remains in the White House—as he most assuredly will—the South will submit to the provisions of the organic law of the land, or take the consequences. We believe that for once the Republicans are deadly in earnest in their advocacy of this long delayed effort to maintain the principles which brought it to the ront to regenerate the government and bring it back to the people, for whom it was divinely created. As we have said in previous letters, the Negro is determined to resist the plainly evident purpose of the Vardaman Democrats to pitch the campaign on the race issue. We follow the very excellent lead of Mr. Cummings at the Chicago convention in urging the Negro to take his rightful place among the rank and file of American citizens, and contend for an impartial administration of the laws for all the people alike, regardless of color, creed or national extraction. We insist that the purity of the ballot is an American question; that suppression of the suffrage injuries the white man as well as the black man, and that a reduction of representation in the South, if it fails to comply with the demands of justice, is a separation for the white man of the North and no more of an abandonment of the Negro than would be a continuance of the present high handed denial of the Negro's right to vote, with the South's enjoyment of the full and dangerous power that the Negro's presence confers. The supreme court is a state's rights institution, and, as it is now made up, there is little hope of redress for us in that quarter. Congress and the executive department are the agencies that must be depended upon to investigate, and to either compel obedience to constitutional rule or enforce the penalty provided by the 11th amendment. The Negro is no worse of with this issue definitely met and decided than he is under the existing policy of shuttlecock and battledore, in which the South has its way and the North must sit up and endure its sneers with an impotency that is at once the disgust and despair of all lovers of a free representative government. We do not agree with Mr. Fortune, that a reducution of the South's fraudulent power in Congress is half so sorry a surrenderer as a continuance present conditions would be. The South does not want reduction and the American people should not permit themselves to be deceivep by Vardaman's "grand stand plays, nor should they allow themselves to be stampeded by the insincere and irrelevant interpolation of a race question into a campaign in which the problems of constitutional supremacy, sound finance, an equitable tariff, an inter-oceanic canal, protection to labor and capital and a purer administration of publical affairs and paramount. A Word for Bishop Scott. In the election of Rev. I. B. Scott to the bishopric by the general conference of the M. E. Church assembled at Los Angeles, Cal., I find nothing to criticise but consider it a well deserved compliment for the worthy doctor. I have no personal acquaintance with the gentlemen, except through his broad, liberal and conservative editorials in the Southwestern, of which paper, for a long time, he was editor-in-chief. I never thought of him being assigned to a diocese in New York, or New England, or anywhere else in this country where the membership is nine-tenth Caucasian. There are many districts with nine-tenth African Americans. Canaan was portioned out to the twelve tribes separately and they remained separate several hundred years. God approved the plan, and there was very little cause, comparatively, for complaint. Foreigners of the same race and same language coming to this country generally settle in the same part of the town or the same part of the country, and, generally, upon all social and economic questions vote the same ticket. Most of these toreigners come from places where slavery has never existed or where its effects have been totally obliterated. Community interests, race likeness and race sympathy make men draw discriminations in what they do, and the Caucasian has as much or more of these characteristics as the other races. For my part I consider it an act worthy of the highest commendation that the great M. E. Church should elevate the son of an exslave to the honors of the highest office within its gift. B H. MORRELL.

LOUISIANA THE CHIEF POINT Charles Stewart Tells of Painful Conditions—New Orleans the Meanest Place—Crescent City Street Cars Divide Races by Signs. Houston, Texas, Special—Discrimination and race prejudice have gone just a step too far, and we, the colored citizens of Houston, are not going where we are not wanted, is a declaration subscribed to by many of the leading colored citizens of the Magnolia City, and the way they are staying off of the street cars and riding in their wagons has forced the white people to think that they mean what they declare. I am not prepared to say just where this race question will go, nor what the white man will do next to humiliate the Negro, hence I have made up my mind to look for whatever I see along the line named. Almost all of the southern towns and cities are burdened with what is known as the "jim crow street car law," and all aimed at our people. The meenest place in the whole South is, perhaps, New Orleans. I should not say New Orleans alone but the whole state of Louisiana where there are any street cars. I mentioned New Orleans because that is the largest city in the whole South, and the place where our people suffer the most, because it is nothing to see a street car there with only two seats for colored passengers, and in front is a screen with these words: "For Colored Patrons Only." In new Orleans some of our people live from five to seven miles from the business part of the city and they must either ride on the jim crow cars or walk. They have it on us, and yet they have not got it on us if the colored people would do their duty as have the colored citizens of Houston. I am unable to see why people handling as much money as the colored people in New Orleans would submit to such treatment. Other places in the state our people are walking, and I am proud that they are walking. Louisiana is, perhaps, the meanest state in the whole South. It is the only state that has cut out every grade above the fifth grade for the education of Negroes, and in many of the parishes of the state there are not any schools for our boys and girls, and have not been for a few years past. The poor white man is contented with his supreme ignorance and wants the Negro to be the same way. The black men are supporting their own colleges, academies, high schools, and the white people of the North are supporting some large schools down here also. Street car separation is to be found in Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Virginia and Georgia and only in some of the cities of Texas it is not a state law. But few Texas towns have passed the law, and when it passed in Houston the colored people called a meeting, passed strong resolutions, declaring that they would not go where they were not wanted. In this they have been successful. How did they succeed? I assure you it was not by resolving to walk because that would be a hard thing to do after they had gotten in the habit of riding. What did they do? They called into service transiter wagons, fixed the price the same as street cars and make regular trips along certain streets where our people live. This has been a success, and the managers of the street cars have been to our people asking them to change and come back on the cars, but the black man has refused to do so as long as his money could not be accepted as other people's and would not entitle him to the same privilege. From early in the morning until late at night the wagons run. They carry the people earning from four to seven dollars a day. You will see from this that prejudice is throwing into the hands of our people money that the white man would have had. The black man has carried out a successful beeyout in Houston. A black man is not allowed to ride on the cars, and if he should get on he is stoned, jerked off and thrashed or clubbed, hence he is not allowed to disgrace his race. A strike is on in Houston and the white folks have been begging colored folks to let them ride and they have been allowed to ride. The black man is never willing to draw the color line.

FORREST COZART. R M. Rush has successfully opened the mammoth dining room of the Grand Hotel, Macanac Island, Mich. Mr. Rush is a prominent eastern colored headwaiter, and is the first colored headwaiter employed at that hotel since Mr. Hayes sold it several years ago. J. M. Butler, who was recently elected vice-president of the Headwaiters' Association, is the popular and efficient headwaiter at the Marlborough House, Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. Butler is a young and progressive headwaiter and we predict him a great future. The new St. Regis Hotel, recently opened in New York, is eighteen stories high and three stories below the ground, and cost nearly five million dollars, which makes it the finest hotel in the world. A crew of colored waiters, in charge of Mr. Foreman, late of the Cairo, arrived from Washington and took control of the American and European dining rooms at the Kanawha, Charleston, W. Va. Portland, Oregon, News-Apology to the Advocate. The Indianapolis Freeman said that Headwaiter R. A. Logan had recovered, which, in part, was a mistake. W. W. Wheeler is headwaiter. Last week Headwaiter Joells of the grill room had a surplus of waiters, all good man, and not wishing to exercise his authority, he called for volunteers. Ben Howard responded. The A. P. dining room waiters can boast of the fact that they have the best, as well as the swellest headwaiters to be found on the coast, and the equal of any in the United States. And this is not hot air either. Harry Copeland, one of the bar boys, became temporarily deranged recently, and on the advice of his friends—against that of the doctors—he left for his home in Columbus, Ohio. Harry was a pleasant, social kind of young man, well liked and highly respected by both white and colored, and his affliction is very much regretted by his host of friends in Portland. Monday of last week witnessed one of the most disgraceful scenes that has ever been enacted in the Portland hotel. M. Halson and John Haskins engaged in a war of words over some frivolous matter, which, as it proceeded, waxed warmer. Haskins let forth some kind of a remark that angered Halson that he made a sidestep, swing and a rush at him, but Haskins made a duck, a jump and a bawl that sounded like murder, which caused Halson to desist, besides creating big excitement. We fall to know who was the aggressor, nor neither do we care, but we do think that both acted like ignorant fools, and no one that saw it condemns the rongh and harsh manner in which they were driven out. The going of Mathew is somewhat regretted, but, with few and a very few exceptions, all are glad that Haskins is gone, and the only regret is INDIVIDUAL HOTEL DIRECTOR [One address line $2.00 per year; including subscription to the service in advance.] HEADWATER Charles Saunders, the well-known headwaiter and caterer of St. Paul, Minn., has returned home from Hot Springs, Ark, where he was for a brief time headwaiter at the great Northern Hotel, which position he accepted after the season had closed at the Eastman, where he was formerly associated with Mr. Walker. Mr. Saunders had the misfortune to lose his trunk and contents in a fire just before leaving Hot Springs. F. C. Brown and wife have purchased the two-story building, northeast corner of Capitol and Donnally streets, Charleston, W Va., for business purposes, consideration $4,500. Mr. Brown will, in the near future, add a third story and will convert the second and third floors into a first class hotel. Mr. Brown is headwaiter at the Hotel Ruffner. F. C. Brown received a proposal from the Kanawha Hotel management to place colored waiters in their hostelry, but his services were retained by the Ruffner at an increased salary. The Kanawha opened up in April with a white crew from New York, but their service did not give satisfaction. H. T. Enbanks, formerly headwaiter at the Weddell House, Cleveland, Ohio, was an alternate to the Republican National Convention. Mr. Enbanks was elected a member of the Ohio Legislature last November. He is also proprietor of the barbershop at the Canard House, Cleveland, O. D. H. SAUNDERS, Secretary. THE TRADE Mention this Paper that he didn't go sooner. As a waiter he was fair, and that is saying a great deal, but socially and intellectually he was a burning disgrace and a standing shame to every waiter in the Portland hotel, and his record shows that in every hotel where he has worked—with very few exceptions—he has created a scene like the above at his departure. R B Carle, the effless headwaiter at the Spokane Hotel, Spokane, Wash., was a delegate to the Mason's Grand Lodge meeting in Portland, Oregon, recently. The one hundred colored waiters installed at the Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill., was dismissed at the request of the students, who threatened to boycott the University. George W. Sweeney was re-elected president of the Hotel (proprietor) Men's Association and J. K. Batchford was re-elected secretary. F P. Thompson, president of the Head and Sidewaiters' Association, has opened his dining room at Lake Champlain, Clinton county, N. Y. Mr R. T. Taylor has been appointed headwaiter at the Seattle Athletic Club, Seattle, Wash, succeeding Mr. Frank Smith. J. S. Hall, formerly proprietor of the English Hotel, Indianapolis, Ind., died at Alton, Ill., recently. C. E Cheatham, who spent the winter at the Ruffner, Charleston, W. Va., has returned to Detroit, Mich. Charles Bauer, formerly proprietor of the Oliver Hotel, South Bend, Ind. died at Wheaton, Ill., recently.

TWO FACTIONS OF THE CHICAGO STRIKE--CAPITAL AND LABOR. Those who have been constant readers of The Freeman will recall my writings during the progress of the waiter's strike a year ago, in which every hotel and restaurant affected were mentioned, and the number of employes given, so it will not be worth while to go over that ground again. Strangely coincident that I should be again engaged in writing the history of this strike, which was settled a year ago June 19th, at midnight. But the history of men and events must be written by some one familiar with the inocidal details connected therewith, and thus I find myself writing my observations and conclusions regarding this strike. No two persons have the same way of looking at things. Each writer imparts something of his own individuality to what he write, so that the vigor of his activities, the earnestness of his convictions, and the grace of his fancies live again in the manner of expresion which would be natural to no one else. So, in writing this, I hope to communicate my honest convictions to those whose attention I have attracted, and if this is fulfilled I then will have accomplished my only desire and simplest design. There will be critics, both fair and unjust, but nevertheless, since the affairs of men must be written both pro and con, and while conscious of many mistakes attributed to the waiter, and many abuses that have been heaped upon the defenseless, I feel I am discharging duty to him who in no way is directly to blame for the failure of their united purpose. Therefore, I say it would be better to let your pen rust in disuse than employ it maligning the character of the side man and portraying your elation over his misfortunes. The individual membership composing the two factions, on one side repre- --- sented the many different local unions, and as delegated on the executive committees they certainly ought to have represented the best brain of their locals—this was corporate labor. The individual membership composing the membership of the hotel men's committee were men who represented their own interest as employers, and in their executive capacity, the interest of the hotel and restaurant keepers' association this was corporate finance. So, commonly speaking, capital and labor were arrayed in opposition with the best brain in the unite of the two factions. In the beginning labor refused to capital its constitutional right to organize, while they in a composite unite were constitutionally organized labor. Labor though they were the shrine of executive fitness before whom capital should prostrate itself. Capital quickly resented this assumption. Labor insisted that capital should come in single file while they formed in battalions. Labor did not want to treat with the hotel men as an organization while the hotel and restaurant men were forced to treat with labor through representative committeemen. This was absurd The local joint board of cooks and waiters placed all hotels in one category and made a wage scale for all alike—forty dollars per month. A more judicious policy would have been to grade hotels into four classes—first, second, third and fourth—with a minimum wage of twenty five dollars and a maximum of forty dollars per month. This absurd elasification of all hotels as the same brought the hotel keepers into immediate need of an association for the protection of their own interests, and they quickly formed on the defensive and subscribed money to fight labor to a finish, which they did, and which may be seen from the terms of the agreement signed one year ago. WORKS LIKE MAGIC. A little Ozonized Ox Marrow applied to kinky hair makes it straight, smooth and beautiful, just like magic. It is wonderful how quickly and easily it does the work. It gives the hair life and stops it from breaking off or falling out. Cures dandruff and feeds the roots of the hair making it grow long and silky. Read what Mr. Joseph J. Wheeler, 14 Simpson St., Dayton, Ohio, says about it in a letter to us January 18, 1904: "I am using your Original Ozonized Ox Marrow and find it is a superior pomade. It started a new growth of hair on a bald spot and I am sure it will do all you claim." Send us fifty cents and we will mail you a bottle postpaid.

C., is a Negro town, ever hear of it? Mr. Berry O Kelley, the leading spirit in the little place, is a Negro of wealth and keen intelligence. His home and score would be counted a credit to any town in the country. Fayetteville, N. C., has the only silk milk in the country controlled by Negroes. The work done in this mill by Negro boys and girls is a strong condemnation of those who claim that the Negro is not able to turn out work requiring skill. The presence of this mill in the South, and managed by our people, is due to the devotion of Dr. Thurston to his people, and his confidence in their possibilities. I do not know for the life of me which is the greater—the mill or he men. Dr. Thurston is a living evidence that brain and worth can hold their own against all enemies and any odds. The white people of Fayetteville are his friends. More of him later. Fayetteville is the home of Bishop Hood and Dr. E. E. Smith, ex minister to Liberia. Both of these gentlemen have homes, beautiful, palatial. Fayetteville is also the native town of Prof. W. H. Councill, of Alabama. He was once sold as a slave on the streets. This alone made the town interesting to me, for when Mr. Councill is measured for his scholarship, his devotion to his people and his life's work is the greatest production of the race up-to-date. New Bern, N. C., is a town of many attractions. Chief among which is the great number of Negro business houses. There is a Negro bank of great promise. President Fisher seems equal to every draw upon him. A finished gentleman. Prof. Smith, the real estate dealer, is a wonderful man. Have him come to the National League and the story of his trials and final success will sound like a story from Arabian Knights. He is worth $50,000, and left school with 50 cents. Dr. Williston is a young man quite worthy of mention. He is a young man, not far in the twenties, yet runs one of the drug stores in the state. Few young men of any race have done bet- ter.

Can be consulted on all affairs of Life, business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in her startling revelation of the past present and future event in one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; yet may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted on all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends etc., with description of future compa ion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life—past, present and future—in a D AD TRANCE, has the power of any two medums you ever wear before marriage, the name of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your future husband, the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the next if you are to have another of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage—how many children you have or will have—whether you are married or single; whether your present sweetheart you have; whether your sweetheart you will have; whether your sweetheart you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. ALL YOUR FUTURE will be told in an honest, clear, plain manner and in a clear, concise manner. Mother's should know successes of their young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or intended husbands. Do not keep company, marry or go into business young ladies should know religious crises prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, tells you whether the one you owe is true or There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a medium, and there are contrary to the truth. It is clear from this the medium that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not everyone who placards himself or herself as a Medium that can stand a test of your enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is that these advisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring information, and that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of obstacles. Unable fact that persons will come to advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they want to be told. If it is the Medium. To get the secret out of a person by "pumping," in no few cases, is the art used by many unprincipled Mediums, but to take the medium from their minds thereby, is a matter of impossibility to most of them And yet this can be done, and by consulting MRS MARTH this seeming mystery. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professor. It so proves conclusively that although they are infringing in our midst with "oily tongues" that have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become a accomplished Medium, and by a continuous and nurturing effort the key to his well-earned parently unfathomable mysteries have been procured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. My lower advice $1.00 Hours from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. All letters must con- tain stamps for answers. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 W. 31st St., New York City.

TUSKEGEE. Even at the risk of causing the little ones to howl more vehemently, we here record some of the constantly increasing evidence of Mr. Washington's popularity, and the appreciation being shown by those whose appreciation is worth something. This is written without a suggestion from any source and by one who has not the honor of a personal acquaintance with him. This statement would be wholly unnecessary were it generally known that a large number of Negro editors and politicians are continually yelping in the dust behind the Washington automobile. With throats filled with dust they shout execration and denunciation, and impaign the motives of all who speak in praise of one whom kings and priests delight to honor. The fact of the matter is, Mr. Washington is beyond the reach of these little bosses of his own race. He has made himself what he is without their assistance, and is therefore independent of them. This condition is not conducive to the peace and quiet of those who have been accustomed to dictating terms at so much per. He is not of the blatant kind, who would thereby destroy the temple he is building. This is what they cannot understand. His life and work is a testimony against the political job-hunter. This is what they hate. But we are volunteering defense, where none is needed, so let us proceed to quote from in the may Pillistine for July. "Whatever else be said of Elbert Hubbard, he can not be hired to use lather. He gives praise only where he thinks it is due, and only after a personal examination." After some introductory remarks on the subject of education and what a school should be, Mr. Hubbard continues: "The question is, then, what teaching concern in America supplies the best quality of actinic ray? And I answer, Tuskegee is the place, and Booker Washington is the man. "What!" you exclaim! "The Ideal School is a school for Negroes, instituted by a Negro, where only Negroes teach, and only Negroes are allowed to enter as students?" And the answer is. "Exactly so." * * * * * * * * Recently I spent two days at Tuskegee. I arrived unannounced at a time when Mr. Washington was away, so it need not be said that I saw the place in other than its working clothes. At Tuskegee there are nearly sixteen hundred students, and one hundred and fifty teachers. Tuskegee stands for order, system, cleanliness, industry, courtesy and usefulness. There are no sink-holes around the place, no "back-yards." Everything is beautiful, wholesome and sanitary. All trades are represented. The day is crammed so full of work from sunrise to sunset that there is no time for complaining, misery or fault-finding—three things that are usually born of idleness. At Tuskegee there are no servants. All of the work is done by the students and teachers—everybody works—everybody is a student, and all are teachers. We are all teachers—we teach by example, and all students who do good work are good teachers. When the Negro is able to do skilled work, he has ceased to be a problem—he is a man. The fact that Alexander Dumas was a Negro does not count against him in the world’s assize. Let us say right here, that there is only one way in which a Negro, or a white man, can ever make himself respected. Statute law will not do it; rights voted him by the state are of small avail; making demands will not secure the desired sesame. If we ever gain the paradise of freedom it will be because we deserve it. A make-believe education may suffice for a white man—especially if he has a rich father, but a Negro who has to carve out his own destiny must be taught order, system, and quiet persistent, useful effort. tist preacher. To him, education meant freedom from toil, and of course we do not have to look far to see where he got the idea. Then when Tuskegee came forward and wanted to make blacksmiths, carpenters and brick-masons out of black men, there was a cry, "If this means education, we will none of it—treason, treason!" It was assumed that the Negro who set other not actuated by hostility to the Negro race. I believe that suffrage has been a detriment to Negro and an impediment to his true progress, from the broad point of view, because it has given a large control of the race to a class of adventurers who live by their wits and trade on their 'pull' with the more ignorant, and fat the same time has diverted thousands of Negroes from useful ..ANNOUNCEMENT Who is the gro Bish Register Your Choice A [college that has its students devote one-half their time to actual, useful work is so in line with common sense that we are amazed that the idea had to be put in execution by an ex-slave as a life-saver for his disenfranchised race. Our great discoveries are all accidents: we work for one thing and get another. I expect that the day will come, and ere long, when the great universities of the world will have to put the Tuskegee idea into execution in order to save themselves from being distanced by the colored race. Fredom cannot be bestowed, it must be acheaved. Education cannot be given, it must be earned. Lincoln did not free the the slaves, he only freed himself. The Negroes did not know they were slaves, and so they had no idea of what freedom meant. Until a man wants to be free, each kind of freedom is only another form of slavery. Booker Washington is showing the colored man how to secure a genuine freedom thru useful activity. The Negro is easily moved to ecstasy Very little musical training makes him a power in song. At Tuskegee the congregational singing is a feature that once heard is never to be forgotten. Fifteen hundred people lifting up their hearts in an outburst of emotion--song! Fifteen hundred people of one mind, doing anything in unison--do you know what it means? * * * * * * * * * Without animation, education is impossible. And the problem of the educator is to direct this singing, flowing, moving spirit of the hive into useful channels. Education is simply the encouragement of right habits, the fixing of good habits until they become a part of one's nature, and are exercised automatically. The man who is industrious by habit is the only man who wins. The man who is not industrious only when driven to it, or when it occurs to him, accomplishes little, And now a Negro is teaching the Negro that work is beautiful, that work is a privilege, that only thru willing service can he ever win his freedom. Architecture is fixed ecstasy, inspired always by a strong man who gives a feeling of security. Athens was an ecstasy in stone. Tuskegee is an estasy in brick and mortar. Don't talk about the education of the Negro! The experiment has really never been tried, except spasmodically, of educating either the whites or the blacks in the South or elsewhere. But now a Negro is laying hold upon the natural estasy of the Negro, and directing it into channels of usefulness and excellence. Can you fortell where this will end, this formation of habits of industry, sobriety and continued presistent effort toward the right? Booker Washington, child of a despised race, has done and is doing what the combined pedagogic and priestly wisdom of ages has failed to do. He is the Moses who by his example is leading the children of his former oppressors out into the light of social, mental, moral and economic freedom. But let the facts be known, that this son of a black slave woman and an unknown father, has collected upward of five million dollars, and thru this built up the most perfect educational institution in the world. It is probably true that many of his teachers and best worriers are picked people from the North--but they are Negroes, and selected by a Negro. The great general reveals his greatness in the selection of his generale: It was the marshals whom Napoleon appointed who won for him his victories, but his spirit animated theirs, and he chose them for this one reason, he could dominate them. He infused Into their souls a goodly dash of his enthusiasm. Booker Washington is a greater general than Napoleon, for the Tuskegee idea no Walerloo awaits. And, as near as I can judge, Booker Washington's most noisy critics are meerely camp-followers. A few years ago there was a fine storm of protest from Northern Negroes to the effect that Booker Washington was endeavoring to limit the Negro to menial services that is, thrust him back into servility. The first ambition of the Negro was to get an educator so that he might become a Bap- tist preacher. To him, education meant freedom from toil, and of course we do not have to look far to see where he got the idea. Then when Tuskegee came forward and wanted to make blacksmiths, carpenters and brick-masons out of black men, there was a cry, "If this means education, we will none of it-treason, treason!" It was assumed that the Negro who set other Negroes to work was not their friend. This phase of the the matter requires no dental nor apology for the Phillistines. Early in the Eighties, Booker Washington realized that, politically, there was no hope for the race. He saw, however, that commerce recognized no color line. We would buy, sell and trade with the black man on absolute equality. Life insurance companies would insure him, banks would receive his deposits, and, if honest and competent, would loan him money. If he could shoe a horse, we waived his complexion; end in every sort and kind of craftsmanship he stood on absolute equality with the whites. The only question ever asked was, "Can you do the work" And Booker Washington set out to help the Negro win success for himself by serving society thru becoming skilled in doing useful things. And so it became Head, Hand and Heart. The manuel was played off against the intellectual But over and beyond the great achitsavement of Booker Washington in founding and carrying to a successful issue the most complete educational scheme of this age, or any other, stands the man himself. He is one without heat, heat or prejudice. No one can write on the lintels of his door post the word, "Whim." * * * * * * * * Those burning words which Wendell Phillips applied to Toussaint Louverture might be paraphrased thus: I would call him Napoleon, but Napoleon made his way to empire over broken oaths and thru seas of blood. This man never broke his word. "NO RETALIATION" is his great motto and rule of life. I would call him Cromwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave. I would call him Washington, but the great Virginian while fighting for freedom was the owner of slaves. But fifty years hence, when Truth gets a hearing, the Muse of History will be put Phocion for Greek, and Brutus for the Roman, Hampden for England, La Fayette for France, chose Lincoln as a bright, consumate flower of our earlier civilization, and Emerson the ripe fruit of our noonday. Then dipping her pen in the sunlight, she will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the teacher, the orator, the man of affairs—the man of common sense, BOOKER WASHINGTON. ELBERT HUBBARD THE DAWNING At last Thomas Nelson Page has made some statements which concede to the better class of colored people all that they ask. He says: A great step will be taken toward the correct solution of the problem when the Negroes shall be considered not "in the lump," but as individuals, just as any other members of the community are considered; not as a separate class, but as part of various classes to which their standing morally, mentally and personally would assign them—when they shall be judged by the same standards and governed by the same rules; when the malefactor shall be dealt with as a malefactor; the reputable man shall be esteemed for his good character; in other words, when every man shall be judged on his own merits and shall stand or fall on his own showing. It is the failure to so consider the Negro that has caused all the harsh criticism from those who were guilty of no misconduct, but whose unjust treatment came from race identity. But to so treat the individuals of each race means freedom from prejudice. If the white American is to become less guilty than the black American this must come to pass. We are frank enough to confess that we do not believe he will arrive at this exalted position very speedily. Before one can get out of the habit of prejudging he must free himself from himself. This is neither simple nor easy. Until all men realize that the most confirmed heathen is ones self, there is little hope of an early realization of so great a promise. William H. Taft, in his address to the Harvard Law School Association, said in speaking of Aguinaldo: "To desert him as an ally, to restore to Spain Manila, which was the key to the islands, and thus enable Spain to drive him back into the interior and finally disperse his forces, would have been violating an obligation which the commencement of our joint action created, and would have subjected the islands to another bloody war," Jacob P. Dunn says: "Primarily, I am not actuated by hostility to the Negro race. I believe that suffrage has been a detriment to Negro and an impediment to his true progress, from the broad point of view, because it has given a large control of the race to a class of adventurers who live by their wits and trade on their 'pull' with the more ignorant, and fat the same time has diverted thousands of Negroes from useful employment." Is it not remarkable that such anxious solicitude should be felt for the welfare of others? We cite these two cases because they are woven of the same thread. Does any one believe that a feeling of interest in others prompted these saying? We are glad to learn that the Bureau of Labor is to make an investigation into the labor trouble in Colorado. There is good reason why this should be done. If the case is as stated by either side to the controversy, the situation is a bad one. The country is entitled to the facts. Some one is guilty of great wrong. The Washington Bee is greatly disturbed by the fear that Booker T. Washington will dictate the colored appointments in the event of Mr. Roosevelt election. Stop your buzzing busy Bee, or you will hurt your cause. Don't you know that such a "fear" will increase Mr. Roosevelts majority? The recent Prohibition Convention presented a sea of clean facss that showed clean consciences behind them. They were just the people to give ear to a moral cause. There were no red noses among them—no "patriots" ready to sell their influence. Instead of one colored delegate we would have been pleased to have seen twenty. The Eighth Illinois Regiment that did service in Cuba during the Spanish American war, has been denied accommodations at the St. Louis Fair. Don't make the mistake of calling this a World's Fair. It is a St. Louis Fair at which other countries are making exhibits. If the management has lost any opportunity for exhibiting its littleness we have not heard of it. The committee having in charge arrangements for the Business Men's League have received instructions to prepare for the accommodation of 700 delegates. There is every indication of a large attendance and preparations are being made accordingly. The sudden changes in the weather is probably due to the rapid changes in the staff of the Conservator. Mr. Jones has resigned and late reports show that Mr. Wilkins is continuing to resign. With no desire to wake the baby we would like to note that the Associated Press sent out more of Mr. Washington's speech than that of any other attendant of the National Educational Association, It is much easier to stir up interest in the selection of a candidate for the legislature than it would be to get the same interest in erecting a business block. If it be true, as many assert, that the election of W. J. Bryan in 1896 would have been a calamity, then to the Negro belongs the credit for averting it. The people admire Theodore Roosevelt because he has the courage of his convictions. This is just the reason why some politicians don't like him. The heathen Japanese are charging the Christian Russian with barbarism. Verily, there is a great difference between profession and practice. No friend of this country, or of the colored people, believes that the interests of either can be best served by a solid black vote. Perry Heath says he has had enough of politics. If politics is ever to be what it ought to be, it has had enough of Heath. Whe men refuse to assert their just claims through the fear of hurting their party, their party does not owe them very much. There is little use to repine over what we might have been. The chances are that we are about all we deserve to be. Fourth of July comes but once a year and for this reason we wish there were a thousand days in a year. Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and it is created by applying labor to the things God put here. Now Let us hear the reports of how the glorious Fourth was celebrated in our colonies. gro Bishop in the Country? Register Your Choice in THE FREEMAN. Freeman Reader is Entitled to Vote.

A hint to the wise is sufficient. The phenominal boy soprano began his career at the age of four years, by appearing in this city at the zoo for the benefit of the Alpha Home, a home for aged colored women of this city, and from that time on he has been appearing for different white lodges throughout the state. Master Bass was one of the attractions the past season with the Famous New Orleans Concert and appeared in a number of the leading cities in the West, his last appearance was in this city at the German House at an entertainment given by the Indianapolis News and their boy band for the benefit of the fresh air mission. Mas- MASTER PAUL BASS PHENOMINAL BOY SOPRANO. ter Paul Bass held the distinction of being the only colored person on program, and now at the age of eight years, gets this comment in the News, the leading evening daily paper of this city: "Paul Bass, the boy wonder, a small colored boy, came out in surpice and sang the sacred song 'The Great White Throne.' This was the surprise number that had been kept a secret. He has the biggest voice for the smallest boy in town and easily filled the large auditorium. His tones are sweet and clear and he sings easily and without effort." P. J. Lowery's musical enterprise is now touring Canada, meeting with the usual success. The chorus work is well harmonized this season. This important part of the entertainment is under the personal direction of Mr. Samuel Elliott, formerly of Indianapolis. He finds the work very pleasant, as his support is all good voices. Mr. Elliott used great precaution in putting on good live catchy songs for individual work. The vaudeville part of this company is easily the best singing company of its kind in America. Mr. Lowery and Manager Connors claim the best ever known with the Great 4 Paw and Sells Circus. The instrumental part is much better than the past season, in this way it is more evenly balanced as the bass section is excellent. The progress of Wm. May and James Hall the phenomenal bass and baritone, ably supported by Pearl Moppins and Henry Mo Dade nicely balances the band to a pleasing musical taste; they possess sufficient power when called for from Mr. Lowery's band. Too much can not be said of the excellent, alto team, J. L. Jones and Robert Grant their playng possess the peculiar broad tone only taught by Mr. Lowery, their unison of act, swift execution and close observance of "p's" and "f's" attracts the attention of the listeners. Elliott and Carson, so termed by Mr. Lowery as the "Ne Plus Ultra" drum and trap team, are justly termed drummers. Mr. Lowery's lead is very clever. Master Geo. McDade and Thomas May on cornet, little Geo. Hill and C. Baermer, the clarionet team, cleverly balances this musical body to a standpoint. As a first-class band master Geo. Mc. is doing nicely with the orchestra, he still holds the honor of being the youngest orchestra leader, professional, in the United States. We have with us a few good business men. The company is in good feeling with all companies and wishes success to all. STOP THIEF! The above sketch is Tony Langston, alias Louis Levl, secretary of the James L. Goodall Republican association, 1234 Pine St., Philadelphia, Pa., who recently skipped with the funds of the association. Philadelphia, Pa. Louis Levi, as he is known in Philadelphia, but in the West as Tony Langston, came here about two years ago from Detroit. Mich. Shortly after his arrival he became acquainted with James L. Goodall, the founder of the James L. Goodall Republican association. He was not very long in impressing Mr. Goodall he was the "real thing." Appearing to be of an exemplary character, and of a gentlemanly bearing, he won himself in Mr. Goodall's confidence, and he began to show him favors by appointing him manager of his theatrical enterprise, "The Coounton 400" which apparently worked all good and well later, he was chosen as secretary of the James L. Goodall Republican association, and manager of the base ball team of the same association, and recently installed as sporting editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, all of which was done through Mr. Goodall's influence. Just at the time all the good things were coming to him, the prosperity proved more than he could endure, and he acted foolish by absconding with all the money belonging to the association that was in his reach. Mr. Goodall was at the time in Chicago attending the National Convention, upon his return, being informed of his protege's action, and that his confidence in him had been so badly abused, it almost took him off his feet. Those who had met Levi and had acted friendly toward him, after learning what he had done to a man whom they knew had proven a bosom friend to him, they denounced him in the most bitter terms. THE BLOODY SOUTH CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE. may be mistreated by the white man but he never retaliates. He is a friend to everybody. The street car people in Mississippi declare that when the law goes in operation next month the street car business will cease to be a paying investment, as fifty per cent of its gross earnings come from colored people. They threaten to sue the state to recover the loss, as they invested their money in the state in good faith and by wild-cat legislation are forced to lose money. Rev. F. L. Lights, of Houston, is one of the leading spirits in the development of his race in this country. He has the good will of his people. The colored people of Richmond, Va., should do like the colored people in Houston, Texas. It is hard to walk when the sun shines hot. Let the colored men in all the cities organize and have transfers of their own and haul their own people. Editor Nobles, of the Galveston Times, is one of the best editors in the South and is furnishing his people with a good race journal. Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Jeffersonville, Ind., one of the best newspaper writers in the whole race. He is a scholar. There are more colored churches in Houston, Texas, than any city of its size in the world. Sure, the devil is being routed out of the city. Preaching, praying, cursing, dancing and even card playing are indulged in in the city, to say nothing about whiskey drinking and other evils. Houston should have a few more sin killers. CHAS, STEWART. A MAIDEN'S ERROR.

The Freeman will be on sale at Jim Jewel's Pool room and Cigar store, 105 S. 14th, street, Omaha, Neb Sixteen Hundred Dollars Invested in Le Roi Mine, in Seven Years Brought The Owner Seventy Thousand Dollars. The Northern Star Stock Is Full Paid Non-Assessable, Non-Taxable and No Personal Liability. THE TENT 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, Eik City, DIXIE and Thunder Mountain. The Northern Star Mine is located in one of the richest Camps of free mining 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 Placer 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 $ 000 00 for every $ 100 00 invested and are drawing dividends every year. REPORT ON THE NORTHERN STAR MINE. DIXIE, IDAHO, BY CAPT. S. L. BURBRIDGE, E. M. An eminent mining engineer and expert of international reputation and pronounced ability. In October, 1803, The Northern Star Mining Company, of Indianapolis, Ind., and Spokane, Wash., capt. E. M., Burbridge, E. M., of San Francisco, Spokane, to visit and examine their property near Dixie, Idaho. Capt. Burbridge's initial report on the famous Le Roi Mine of Rossland, B. C., at this date reads like prophecy. His later report, after the property had been developed, resulted in the sale of this mine in Lon- kane, Wash., for investment pounds sterling (41,000,000). He is well known for unquestioned capa- city 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 sold in Toronto, Montreal, and in American 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, WASH., 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 1,500x600 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 or strike of nearly northwest and southeast, with a course or strike of nearly northwest and southeast, the North Star and Evening Star, is about five feet wide at the deepest works, say 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 or about 75 feet in length and 5 feet in width of or good milling value. After passing through this ore it has been run ahead on the ledge, but through an almost barren portion, and now is coming into another pay chute or the one on which the 90 foot tunnel was started. The ledge running through the Center 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 $2 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 Wilshire concentration table in the mili, and every slight complete to start up, except some slight tank and well pump the matter of the water short time and a few dollars to remedy. There will also need to be a car track constructed from the mine to mili, 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 a few feet. This, I believe can be done from the prints 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. BUBRIDGE, 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 $500 per ton, which proves the high values that are found in this ore. Capt. Burbridge advised stiring 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 ore 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? Burbridge, also the opinion of several other mining engineers as to the value of this property; also Mr. Ansi 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, 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. We herewish 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 $250 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 acrue on an average of ore valued at $12 per ton. Furthermore the tailings 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. Inquiries 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, Burbridge, also the opinion of several other engineers as to the value of this property; also Mr. Ans Moffit, 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.

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 upon 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 thnk 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.

A flag has been devise and will shortly wave from every staff that tops a colored institution. The flag is the conception of H. Y. Arnett, son of Bishop Arnett. He is representing the financial interests of Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, O. At the A. M. E. conference of colored ministers held in the Mt. Plazzah M. E. church, Fortieth and Locust Sts., the professor told what sort of flag the colored race should have. "The staff must be made of the weeping willow, to commemorate the fact that our women and children in slavery days used to kneel and pray under the weeping willow tree. The body of the flag must be red to commemorate the blood which our race has sacrificed throughout the country. A black border will be appropriate to symbolize pictures of five representative colored men who stand for the enlightenment of our people. The pictures will represent Frederick Douglass, Major Martin R. DeLaney, the late Daniel Payne and in the center Booker T. Washington. "We need a flag of this sort" continued Prof. Arnett.

(By Sylvester Russell.) I do not pretend to be any authority on pugilism. I am a stage pugilist at all, but being interested in all lines of race advancement, it will do the fighters of my race no harm to see me step down from the high veranda of stage philosophy to the trifling tradition of a fistic advisor. Just a few words about "yourselves," dear fellows of my race, and just a reprimand to the "pugs" and sporting critics of the white race, and then to fade from view. Common sense should teach a colored prize fighter to acquire at least enough education to write his own name straight and to estimate the amount of coin in the money pot of a fluke fight long before the battle, and also be able, at the same time, to respectably argue the terms of a contract, and all that goes with it, without disaster.

Another special requirement is economy. Another is moderation in habits and drinking. Young men who hope to be great fighters, should never marry under the age of twenty-five. I was always of the opinion that Terry McGovern married too young for his chances to retain the championship. Boys who marry at nineteen may as well give up the ghost Fighters with loud ways and eager desires to bluff every body they can in this day, can put it down that their chances of success are handicapped. Last winter the colored prize fighters in Boston made me very mad! One mild sunny day, a cluster of fighters including Joe Walotto and Bob Armstrong, stood on the corner of Cambridge and Blossom Sts, holding a very loud conference. The passage way was blocked, and a white policeman stood in the center of the gang showing his teeth and enjoying the ceremony. Meanwhile, people passing by, including myself, had to walk in the gutter. It may also be exemplary to add, that Andy Watson, a Boston favorite, was not in the crowd, neither do I think he would have enjoyed it. It would be a nice thing if all colored prize fighters would try to be gentlemen like Andy. The most important thing of all, for colored prize fighters, is to be able to arrive to a position to be sought after by prominent managers. By an example of character, a good fighter with economy and education, will be able to attain something, more than simply a name and prominence as a sparing partner to some white fighter in his own class whom he could whip and make money on. In this respect we may say that Bob Armstrong is a man who occupies just such a position. He roves around like a big lost child simply for the want of a real manager. This means, with emphasis, that the Negro race must soon develop qualified managers, backed up by a sporting race syndicate of large dimensions with a prompt and easy payment system of its own. It is because colored fighters come so prominently before the public eye, that I give out this advice. People know Joe Walcott when they see him on the streets, because of the extra size of his caricature seen in the daily New York, Boston and Chicago American, while the history of important colored men, of a race very meanly represented to this country by newspapers, is kept very shady. TO BE CONTINUED. 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-No More 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., Chillicoilte O. Birmingham News Happenings.

Washington of Tuskegee Some years ago, according to the story, Mr. Washington was booked to appear in a Texas town. Mr. Scott, then a newspaper man, lived there and for the occasion was chosen charge d'affaires; he so honorably discharged his duties that he impressed Mr. Washington with his ability. A short time after that Mr. Scott was filling his present position in the celebrated Tuskegee community. The correspondence of Tuskegee is voluminous; all incoming and outgoing mail must pass 'neath the eagle-eyed scrutiny of Mr. Scott; he is also at the SECY LEDGER EMMIT J SCOTT head [of the "Tuskegee Student," an ideal publication of the kind. It may be too much to say that it is ideal because of Mr. Scott, but his impress and individuality is noted in that very newsy little output, which is edited with dignity and with definite slims in view. Mr. Scott is a very busy man; he keeps several assistant secretaries who are quite as busy, since "work" is an essential in the Tuskegee creed; it is writ large in all of the affairs there. Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well-known newspaper correspondent, was at one time connected with the institution, and who, by the way, rather objected to what he considered my designation of the work at Tuskegee as oppressive. I now take this occasion to say that I did not have in mind that bemeaning toll as expressed in Hood's "Song of the Shirt," but I did have in mind toll quite and needs no apology. All toll needs and must have its compensation. All endeavor must have hung before it the sign of promise. That which we call pleasure must also have its reward. The game of ball, the tennis, the football game would be "flat, tame and unprofitable"—all life must have its goal. So work is what you make it very often—the heart in it—the ends. In toll proper, the psychological buoyants are in abeyance and which consist generally of doing well and commendably rather than that of dollars and cents. There are but few lines of labor that could not be pursued with some pleasure. So, according to my defense, I do not feel guilty of slandering Tuskegee when I insist that the gospel of toll is preached there. Toll is not necessarily associated with the hoe; the poet, the musician, the lawyer and doctor toll and incessantly as she of the shirt, but with more diversity, more soul and more hope expressed in financial results, the trinity of circumstances that establishes a contention.

Manufactured only by THE LAUNDRY Folks who think it is better to bear pain than soothe it—are wrong. Old-fashioned doctors used to say it was better, because they had nothing with which to ease pain but dangerous, heart-paralyzing drugs. But now, that a safe remedy has been found, Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills, it is wrong to suffer, for nothing can be gained but weakened nerves. A safe rule to remember is: When in pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill. This will soothe your quivering nerves, Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain by restoring the natural secretions, in which they differ from opium and similar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain by checking the action of the glands. They are sure and harmless, and are the latest medical treatment for the cure of Headache, Neuralgia, Backache, Rheumatism, Dizziness, Toothache, Stomachache, Menstrual (Monthly) Pains. Also nerve irritations like Sea-Sickness, Car-Sickness, Sieeplessness, Indigestion, etc. Pleasant to take, quick in results. We used Dr. MILES anti-Pain Pills for sick, nervous headaches and have received the best results. I heartily recommend their curative properties. RAY A. WATROS, D. D., towa City, IL.

A WORD OF COMFORT To the Distressed: Fortunately for those suffering with rheumatism in all its various forms, including sore joints, sore muscles and sore feet, a remedy has been discovered STRAW HATS FINE ENGLISH SPLIT STRAWS FOR DO YOU These Horns A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY. The Publisher of The Freeman desires to appeal to the country at large asking them to take an interest in The Indianapolis Freeman, as The Indianapolis Freeman takes interest in them. We are doing ally in our power for the uplift of the entire race, having able correspondents throughout the country and strong editorial writers whose sole aim is for the betterment of the race. In so much then as we are doing all we can in your interest, we feel that in turn you should do all you can to aid us in fighting our battles. The Freeman now enjoys the distinction of having the largest circulation in the world of any Negro publication, but even at this rate, we are desirous of increasing our circulation until we have an actual bona fide galley subscription of 102,000 readers. We cannot do this without your assistance, however, and for this reason we make this appeal. During the month of July and until Aug. 15, The Freeman will be sent to any address for one year for $1. Now to all persons young or old, men or women, boys or girls, who will send us in yearly subscribers at this rate during this time, we will give $1 to them for every five cash subscriptions sent in. Thus if they secure five subscribers for us they make $1: if they obtain ten subscribers they make $2, etc. To an active, hustling this proposition will mean much, as they can make for themselves four or five dollars a day. To our five hundred and more agents we desire to appeal also asking them to take up the work along this line. To them we will make the same offer. We desire you to send in all news items of interest to the race, and we will give same our prompt attention. Can always insert items if you will have notes reach this office not later than Tuesdays of each week. Make your items concise so that we will have space sufficient to accommodate them all. We trust that you will rally to our support at this time and are sure that your gain will fully compensate you for all effort put forth. To the Head and Side Waiters throughout the country we make the same proposition. We have been accorded the honor of having our name enrolled as an honorary member of your National Benefit association, and we therefore feel a part of you, and as we deeply interested in what concerns you we ask that you aid us at this time. The Freeman has always devoted much time and space to the waiters through out the country and intends to continue to do so, and for this consideration, we feel that it would be in keeping for you to lend us your aid at this time. The chance is good, you can make money by a very little energy. Remember we allow to all $1 for every five subscriptions sent in to us at $1 each for one year from now until Aug. 15.

A WORD OF COMFORT Fortunately for those suffering with rheumatism in all its various forms, including sore joints, sore muscles and sore feet, a remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects a speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific principles which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treatment for rheumatic or neurologic troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever effect a cure without upsetting the stomach. As a rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts a drug habit which leads eventually to a decline of the physical and mental forces. Paracamph is the new remedy and it is a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the pores and allows the healing soothing oils to penetrate the sore, inflamed membranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treatment that can be indored by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obstinate cases of rheumatic swellings if used as directed. Paracamph can be procured at drug stores in 25 cent and 50 cent and $1 bottles. Write for book of testimonials, sent free. The Paracamph Co. Lonlville, Ky., U. S. A.
