THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 27. SHIFTING SCENES THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE PASSING SHOW RACE DISCRIMINATION AT THE FAIR Lynching to be Discussed at the Protestent Episcopal Conference-Liberia Colonization Movement-Dr. Washington no Political Adviser. By Our Special Staff Correspondent. We do not know what kind of a pipe the Washington Bee smokes, or to what system of cerebral convolutions its hallucinations are due. The disease of the Bee has never been accurately diagnosed, but it is peculiarly malignant whenever the name of Dr. Booker T. Washington comes into the alleged "mind." Abuse of the "Wizard" is the Bee's "long suit," and its correspondents are also impregnated with the same virus. Now comes the Bee and its confederates, fully four months prior to the election, addressing themselves to the subject of Negro "bossism," and insists upon upon forecasting a division of the "spoils" eight months before any possible change in the administration. The "secret conference," spoken of as having taken place at Chicago between Dr. Washington and his friends, is purely a fragment of the imagination, and the free use of certain names in connection with prospective offices, alleged to be at the disposal of the "Wizard" in the event of Mr. Roosevelt's success is superlatively silly. The question of political patronage has no place in Dr. Washington's busy brain now, nor will it have next year, for an educator who must raise by his own personal efforts $3,000 annually to sustain Tuskegee Institute comes very nearly having as much of a burden as any one man can carry. Editor Chase will serve himself and his race far more acceptably by rolling up his sleeves and hustling to elect the nation's best conserver of law, order and official decency than by attempting to rival Rider Haggard. Conan Doyle or Rudyard Kipling in the arena of fantastic romance. The Bee's "Observer," "Rounder," and editorial moulder of mosaics should take treatment for the chronic saliment that threaten their sanity, if not their very lives. If any evidence were lacking to prove that there is race prejudice at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition thick enough to be cut with a knife the retusal to admit the Eighth Illinois colored regiment certainly ought to supply it. A dispatch says: "The organization had made preparations to attend the fair in all the panoply of war. Col. Marshall asked that quarters be provided them in the barracks occupied by other militia organizations. In reply he was told that colored troops could not be allowed in barracks occupied by white troops, nor could a soldier of barracks or other quarters be assigned to them, but they must provide a camp and commissary outfit of their own and go into camp outside the grounds. The indignant colonel and his aides and line officers appealed to Uncle Sam for redress, calling attention to brave work of the resentment in the Spanish american war. Uncle Sam said it all rested with the fair officials and he could do nothing. They have abandoned the trip." This is a disgrace to a fair that pretends to be international in scope, and to illustrate the progress of the world in the arts, sciences and elements of civilization. The Negro press of the country is ventilating the condition of things at St. Louis pretty thoroughly, and self-respecting Negroes are staying away from the place. The exposition itself may be a fine show, but it needs us as a great deal more than we need it. Those who wish to spend a really delightful vacation will find it well to go elsewhere. The country has not a happier or more versatile a public speaker than Prof. W. H. Richards, of the law department of Howard University. His keen wit, rich humor, instructive philosophy and graceful diction, directed by a rare intellectual taste fit harmoniously into any occasion. Prof. Richards' address in Washington at the recent anniversary of the marriage of Lawyer and Mrs. J. F. Bundy was a masterpiece of after dinner oratory. Prof. Richards, in popular popular parlance, is "all right." President Roosevelt, in his Valley Forge speech the other day, said: "A man, to amount to anything, must be practical. He must actually do things, not talk about doing them—least of all, cavil at how they are accomplished by those who INDIANAPOLIS JUL 16 1904 PUBLIC LIBRARY “IMMPOSSIBLE.” BOOMER WASHINGTON GOSSIP SIANDER THE 'SYLUM FOLKS DON'T KNOW YOU'RE OUT. I BET. JAYWOOD 0Y actually go down into the arena and actually triumph in the struggle. The man must have the power, the force, the will, to accomplish results." In the light of this view of life's struggles and valor's rewards is there any wonder that there should be an umbilical cord between Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington? They both believe in the man who is able to "do things," not the dreamer who orates, writes or theorizes about them, The subject of "lynching" will have a hearing before the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which meets in Boston next October. The discussion will be led by Judge John H. Stotsenburg, of New Albany, Ind., whose friendship for the Negro has been of long duration, and whose sympathies have ever gone out to the oppressed. He will, by request, introduce, as a part of his remarks the appeal to the American people to suppress mob rule, sent out by the National Federation of Civic Rights, signed by Bishop George W. Clinton, Rev. S. C. Manuel, T. H. Tipton, Dr. W. O. Vance and Dr. B. F. Porter, Jr. Judge Stotsenburg is deeply interested in the passage of the bill pending in congress to create a federal commission to inquire into the condition of the colored people and to find a common ground upon which the races may meet in sympathetic co-operation in their relations as citizens of a common country. The Judge favors the election of a colored bishop by this convention, as INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JULY 16 1904 Trying to Dim the Glory of the Rising Sun. the race seems to desire a complete organization in the Episcopal church, and he believes the wishes of the colored communicants will be carried out. Such action would mean a great advancement of the Episcopal propaganda among the Negroes throughout the entire country. A press dispatch says another association has been formed for the purpose of sending a number of colored families to Liberia, to find homes and grow rich in the cotton belt of that country. The headquarters of this newest movement are located at Newark, N. J., and it is said that representatives are to start this month to look for a proper place for settlement and to obtain some sort of concession from the authorities of Liberia, President Tinsley, the head of the association, desires the American Negroes to take up the twenty-five acres of fine land offered by the Liberia government, together with ration, which will be furnished to immigrants until the farms begin to yield paying crops. He thinks 20,000 Negroes can be induced to leave the country for the African republic as soon as transportation can be gained for them. We are on record as opposed to any wholesale exodus of Negroes to Africa or anywhere else. A few men and families of means could go to the Liberian cotton belt, the Philippine islands, Cuba, Hawaii or certain sections of this country and do well by utilizing the governmental concessions and making judicious invest- ments. But the average laborer, without money, would fail ignominiously. All such persons would suffer, for they could not compete successfully with the native labor, and they have no capital with which to develop the land which might be granted to them. It takes money to make money. The truth of the matter is that the United State, with all her faults, is the very best place on earth for the poor Negro, and his chances for civic, financial and moral growth are greater here than elsewhere. The American Negro is the best conditioned Negro, on an average, in the world, as all globe-trotters will testify. Individuals who are eternally going somewhere else to get along seldom make real progress. The intelligent Negro and the broad-guaged white man, working together, will yet redeem the Southland of our own country. That section, even under present conditions, offers a hundred-fold more advantage than does Africa, especially to the black man with money, and those who would conserve his interests best unite in urging him to "cast down his bucket" where he is. Let the Negro adopt himself to his environment and get all he can out of the situation about him, unless he has sufficient capital to take hold of a new field in the right way. The wise Negro is taking no stock in anything like a general deportation, colonization or segregation. We are here to stay. We shall never—no never—desert our white brother who needs us in his business as badly as we need him in ours. The Census Bureau's final bulletin on population announces that there are 8,840,789 Negroes in the United States. The center of population is in Dekalb county, Ala., about four miles west of the boundary line of Georgia. Almost 90 per cent of our people are in the southern states, and three-tenths of them are in Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama alone. 3,992,337 are engaged in gainful occupations. Illiteracy among them is seven times greater than among the whites and about one-eighth Wedding Bells. Morgantown, W.

A CONDENSD' PUBLICATION OF Many Important Happenings of the Past Few Days--A Comprehensive Review Most Likely to Prove of Interest to Our Many Readers. New Albany, Ind., Special.—The quarterly session of the Louisville district of the A. M. E. Zion Church is being held this week at Jones' Church. Sunday, the 10th was quarterly meeting day and Presiding Elder G. B. Walker, Rev. Robert S. Rives, of Louisville, and Rev. W. W. Dorsey, of Cincinnati, filled the pulpit in the order named at the three services. Rev. R. T. Bailey handsomely entertained the conference.—R. W. Thompson, of the Quartermaster's department at Jeffersonville, has purchased a handsome residence on Culbertson avenue, and will make this city his home after next month. The home is a two story, seven room structure, and is very conveniently located. Mr. Thompson was formerly a New Albany boy, and we welcome him back to his "old stamping grounds," after wandering abroad nearly thirty years. Mrs. Mary E. Washington has been attending the Kentucky State Grand Lodge of Good Samaritans at Richmond, Ky.—Mrs. Dell Dallan spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sterrett, en route from New York to her home in New Madrid, Mo. The well-founded reports of racial discriminations at the World's Fair has considerably dampened the ardor of New Albanians who had planned to visit St. Louis this summer. Quitaa number have decided that the convention of the National Negro Business League offers better inducements to both seekers after pleasure and to those who wish profitable instruction. A local Negro Business League was organized at Bethel A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening. The Lincoln Park Association, a new Negro business corporation has purchased a 1,200 acre tract of land on the Silver Hills and will equip it as a first class pleasure resort for the people of the three cities. Rev. W. H. Chambers, of Indianapolis, stopped over Sunday evening and preached at Jones' Chapel for Elder Bailey.—Mrs. Olivia Sterrett Peters, of Owensboro, Ky., will be in the city tomorrow to visit her parents and sisters—"The Plasmodium," the organ of the Louisville National Medical College, is to be issued shortly with the energetic and constructive Dr. W. O. Vance as editor. To Dr. Vance is due the largest measure of credit for securing the new hospital and increased clinical facilities for the college. Miss Molie Bush is to open a millinery and dressmaking establishment in the Vance block.—Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Adair have moved to Louisville, where Mr. Adair is engaged in the tonerial business.—Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Harris are now living on Sixth street, between Main and Market. Mrs Grace Lucas Thompson and daughter, Vivian, of Jeffersonville, spent Sunday in the city, making a round of calls.—Bishop G. W. Clinton was here Sunday, en route to Madisonville, Ky., to attend a meeting of the trustees of Atkinson College, of which he is president. Columbia Personals Columbia, Tenn., Special.—The State Grand Lodge, I. O. L., held their convention in this city last week.—John Flemings, of Nashville, paid a flying visit to his mother last week.—Sol Dent is critically ill at this writing.—Mrs. Phoebe Armstrong, Malinda Frierson and Miss Mary Bradshaw are attending the Fisk Summer School at Nashville.—The three weeks session of the State Peabody Institute closed last Friday. The attendance was exceedingly large each day. The Institute was conducted by Dr. F. G. Smith, of Nashville, Tenn., whose instructions was very profitable teachers.—Mrs. Kate Cheatham, of Nashville, Tenn., is the guest of Mrs. Emma Webster.—The Y. M. C. A.'s received their elegant buttons last week.—The concert and debate given last week at the First Baptist Church was a financial success.—Misses Sadie Jones and Florence Frierson have returned from Nashville.—T. A. Frierson, of New Decatur, Ala., is in the city, visiting his family.—Philip Webster was in Fayetteville last week.

Let there be no delay. SHIFTING SCENES SHIFTING SCENES CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE. have an admixture of Caucasian blood. The increase for the decade was 18 per cent, but the death rate 80 per cent. This census showing is one that may be studied with great profit by every Negro in the land. A word about A. M. E. Church politics and we are done. It will be remembered that Mr. Ira T. Bryant, of the government printing office, Washington, D. C., was a candidate for secretary of the Sunday School Union against the incumbent, Rey. Dr. W. D. Chappell, and came within a few votes of defeating him. There was a sentiment for a layman in this office and Mr. Bryant's acknowledged skill as a printer and general executive manager strongly appealed to the delegates. Mr. Bryant accepted his lot without complaint. It is now suggested by an intimate friend of Mr. Bryant that it would be an exceedingly gracious action on the part of Dr. Chappell if he should let bygones be bygones and tender Mr. Bryant the foremanship of the Union's mechanical department. This would insure speed and accuracy in getting the work, and Mr. Bryant's broad experience in managing an office would be a guarantee of economy in purchasing material and carrying for it after it is installed. Who knows but that four years hence Dr. Chappelle may be elected a bishop? Would it not be a fine thing to have on hand so earnest and capable a young man as Bryant as his successor at the Union? Think it over, Dr. Chappelle, and see if it would not be a brilliant idea to offer Mr. Bryant the place. SHARPS AND FLATS. The strong man is the prepared man. Blessed indeed is the man who has found his work! Manhood that can be bought for a small job is not respected by anybody. Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, is unlike wine. He doesn't improve with age. Education - real education that fits men and women for intelligent service — cannot increase crime. The home owner is a sovereign. People take off their hats to the results of thrift, industry and intelligence. Keep out of the courts with petty disputes. These little bickerings cost good money and serve no useful purpose. It looks very much as if the St. Louis Fair people have somewhat over-reached themselves on the Negro problem. The race owes to itself the duty of keeping its great characters to the front. The jealous pull-back is our worst foe An interesting meeting of the trustees board of Tuskegee Institute was held June 23rd at the office of Mr. George Foster Peabody in New York. Mr. Emmett J. Scott returned to Tuskegee this week, after quite a notable itinerary, which included New York, Chicago and St. Louis. Oh, of course, there are Negroes who would rush on to the St. Louis show even if the managers spat in their faces. Its the style, don't you know! People who are given to the dirty habit of "knocking" the absent man are not to be trusted. They will use the hammer on you the moment your back is turned. The world likes the man who accomplish things, but grows very tired of him when he begins to brag about what he has done. 'Deliver the goods' and shut up! Every intelligent Negro will subscribe for at least one race journal, and then supplement his stock of current information by taking the Colored American Magazine of New York.

Loomis disappearing act. Some people are funny. "The Hayes Advance" at Chicago did not materialize to any marked degree. The thing they went for was done many weeks prior to the arrival of the dusky edition of General Kuropatkin. Dr. W. D. Crum has begun his campaign early. He was the speaker June 27 at Richmond, Va., on the occasion of the organization of the first Roosevelt and Fairbanks club of the season. The Negro should strive to reach the point where he can refuse absolutely to patrolize the white man who practices color discrimination. Let us spend our money only where our manhood is respected. The Negro loses an incalculable amount of prestige, money and time by a criminal disregard for punctuality. Keep your word and be on hand at the hour set for an engagement, no matter how trivial its nature. Thomas Nelson Page continues to tell what he doesn't know about the solution of the race problem, and to think too that he takes the publisher's money for the voluminous rot that he gives out! The shame of it! Dr. Booker T. Washington delivered last Thursday before the National Educational Association at St. Louis, what is conceded to have been one of the very happiest efforts of his life. He goes now to South Weymouth, Mass, where he makes his headquarters during the summer campaign. The colored people of San Antonio, Texas, who are large consumers of ice cream, are declining to buy the frozen sweetness from manufacturers who will not furnish an saddafit that they have not signed any petition to the city council asking for the enactment of a separate compartment ordinance. Right! The authorities at the mint are reported as saying that the silver bullion has all given out and that no more silver dollars can be coined. That ought not to worry us a little bit. The presses upon which greenbacks are printed, are still in good working order, and we like crisp gold certificates better than the clumsy cartwheels anyhow ONE THING THE YOUNG MAN CAN DO. Now, here is a word to the young man of twenty who, having a fair common school education and not afraid of work, would like to make the most of himself and get out of the ranks of the army of common plugs and shape his life on a broader and higher plane. While there are other ways and other openings, we will only mention one way in which he may do that which he desires. The feeding of 100,000,000 people is to be the great problem in this country before long. The young man who makes a study of how to produce the food needed in the most economical manner, how to take the earth and the cow and the hen and the steer, the forest and the garden and the orchard and get the best out of them, is bound to be a man who will be in great demand, for he will know something which will be of great value to the whole country. As we look at it, there is no more inviting field for the young man of today than this, and a nice thing about it is that the study of these problems will not only make him of practical use to the world, but he will grow to be a broad gauged man as well, for no man can study nature and her laws and be small and narrow. Think this over, boys. Barley will make just as much pork as corn pound for pound and of even better quality for home use, for it will have the much prized streak of lean and streak of fat. Now, if you are too far north to grow corn and can grow forty bushels of barley to the acre, you live in a hog country and can make more money out of the pig than any other animal you can keep on the farm.

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.

THE CONVENTION We believe that the results of the Democratic Convention were a surprise to almost every one. It did what appeared, on good grounds, to be an impossibility. They got together. We believe this to have been a surprise to the vast majority of the Democrats themselves. It was the stated intention of the reorganizing element in the party to run things entirely to suit itself without consulting the wishes of Mr. Bryan. This they found they could not do. It was then that Mr. Hill and the other mighty ones proceeded to eat crow, and they seemed to like it. That Mr. Bryan, almost alone and unalided, should have succeeded in having the platform so modified as to make it acceptable to him, must have been both a shock and a surprise. While the platform states the party's demands in a clear and forcible manner, the tariff plank is not of the kind they have been making. Evidently they wished to be considered as less radical on this point than h eretofore. The absence of a financial plank in the platform would not have distracted seriously had it not have been for the fatef ul telegram from Mr. Parker. As it is, it remains to be seen just what effect this omission will have. From the colored man's point of view the most important feature is the reference made to the race question. When one but considers what might have been the effect of an expressed determination to disregard the constitutional rights of the Negro and an appeal that would stir up race hatred, we think the country should feel thankful that this was not done. This course was advocated by Mr. Dunn and the Sentinel of this city. Contrary to expectations there is absolutely nothing objectionable in what is said on this point in the platform; indeed it may be highly commended, as anything should be commended, which tends toward peace, and hence toward the well-being of all the people. There is no good to be gained from needless strife, and only the basest selfishness could advocate such a course. THE PROPHETS OF BAAL. Norwood is a suburb of Indianapolis. It is not unusual for things quite out of the ordinary to happen in that place. This may be largely due to the fact that a majority of the residents are lineal descendants of Ham. These latter have become convinced that something is wrong. Their rights do not receive the respect to which they are entitled, and they hear of lynchings for almost every cause. Things must be righted, and the credit of this attempt belongs to the A. M. E. Zion Church located there. A big meeting is held, and in the procession, adorned with robes, are representatives of Moses, Aaron and other prominent personages of that day. A lamb was provided and slain on an altar. A dove or pigeon was wallowed in the blood and then set free. It would have been interesting to know what the bird thought of the performance. In order that nothing be omitted which might add to the ridiculousness of the occasion, the lamb was roasted and sold at so much per sandwich. What can be said of such doings? Where have these people been that they have failed to learn something of the principles of the Christianity in which they claim to believe? If this or happened on the banks of the Congo or on some of the islands of the Southern Pacific it would not have been so astonishing. There were, no doubt, some well meaning ones who took part in this voodoo performance. The responsibility does not rest with these. It rests with the preacher. We have long since been aware of the decided unfitness of some preachers for the place they occupy, but we had not suspected any of being so low in the scale as this. Here, again, is emphasized the truth that half the faults of a people are due to those who assume to lead. As in this case, they are an obstruction to advancement and the growth of Christian character. The pity of it all is that all people are not intelligent and free enough to force such preachers into working or starving. We pity their victims—people, lamb and pigeon. But such preachers—well, we just won't say it. If any State wants an intelligent ballot it ought to have it, but when the "grand-daddy" clause is made a qualification for voting it proves that intelligence is not what is wanted. Some men seem to act on the belief that success works on the order of the teeter-totter—that, if one thing rises, another must fall; if one man succeeds, another must fail. It should be understood by this time that ones Christianity is better shown by the kind of life one lives than by any possible status of the colored people needs remedial agencies, but the one struck upon is of doubtful efficacy. The constitution is ample enough to care for the peoples' ills, if it is enforced. And it stands to reason that the members of congress, regardless of party ties, should be importuned to sustain the principles of the constitution they swore to obey. Why not obligate all? It is a question of races, and it will be hard to force through the narrower political channels. Keeping the peace and observing the laws are incumbent on every man; they are not especial duties for Republicans. The object of the colored-politicians at Chicago was just and laudable as to intent, but the result is not by any means salutary. AVERY COLLECTION THE OLDEST NEGRO Unequaled, unexcelled in the chap. Trade Schools prepares its pupiling and Music. An English Course and proceeds given to students. This institution is amply endowed to young colored woman. Address all communicative JOSEPH JESSIE FLETCHER. The recent announcements That a Catholic priest should have driven two colored women from a church, and at a time when they were in the attitude of prayer, seems beyond credibility. And one of these women is the mother of a Catholic priest. Colored people have always had a kindly feeling for this church because it, of all others, has seemed comparatively free from the phariseelism found elsewhere. We were fast beginning to regard the Catholic priesthood as farther removed from ill feeling against race than all others, but it seems that another trusted one has fallen. These women can better stand the humiliation they have had to endure than can this church the lower estimate which is sure to be put upon its character. What would the Master say of this conduct of one of His agents? Father Donnihue has been tried and found wanting. If he is satisfied with his conduct every one else ought to be. We have waited to get all the facts concerning the threatened "race riot" at Evansville, Ind. The report was that a "big burly" met one Mr. Smith and a lady walking by a school house at 9 o'clock at night. Then and there the party of the first part drew a revolver and drove Mr. Smith away. The girl was attacked. Later, she emerged from the school yard in a "precarious condition" and excitement ran high. But here is what happened later. When morning dawned three colored men were taken to the girl's home for identification. She was found to be quite well. She did not recognize any of them—only laughed and said she thought the joke was on Smith. The Louisville school board has decided that Filipinos are "colored people." At the same time the papers tell us that the St. Louis girls are very fond of the little brown men. To further complicate matters there are hundreds of people in this country whose Negro blood cannot be detected, yet they identify themselves with the colored people. Evidently the American is in sore need of a formula by which they may determine who are "colored people" and who are not. This would serve a useful purpose until the American becomes large enough inside to know that a distinction without a difference don't amount to much anyway. It was believed by those who laid the foundations of this republic that the citizen would always hold country above party, but the latter day politician reverses this. Such a citizen favors that policy which he believes will bring the greatest good to the greatest number; the politician is more interested in getting the offices. One is guided, in political conduct, by a desire to serve the greatest good of now and hereafter; the other serves selfishness only. One is a patriot, the other a parasite. It is asserted, by those who are in position to know, that a number of our colored politicians are simply hirelings working against the real interests of the people they claim to represent. If this be true we should know it. To expose such men would be rendering a public service. Stop following men who are neither better nor wiser than you. Be yourself. If wise men were always honest men it would be different. But remember this, that each has a work to do for himself, within himself, that cannot be done by following others. There must have been some mistake in the long list of obituary notices and funeral orations over Mr. Bryan. When they went to bury the corpse it stood on its feet. He does not even seem to have been asleep. The Democrats decided not to hang up the picture of any living man, but they need not have gone back to Jefferson. There were a number of "dead ones" among the candidates. Rob your neighbor and you are a rascal. Rob your neighbor by plundering the public and you are a financier. If any State wants an intelligent ballot it ought to have it, but when the "grand-daddy" clause is made a qualification for voting it proves that intelligence is not what is wanted. Some men seem to act on the belief that success works on the order of the teeter-totter—that, if one thing rises, another must fall; if one man succeeds, another must fail. It should be understood by this time that ones Christianity is better shown by the kind of life one lives than by any possible kind of performance. Let the next Indiana Legislature make a record for itself by passing a law that will disfranchise any man who sells his vote or who absents himself to keep from voting. The Negro who is willing to do the blood-hound act at the request of some political boss, should he be sat upon? It is said that Indianapolis has at least three such. We are willing to wager our hat that the Parker telegram was a blunder, and will prove itself so before the beginning of the campaign. If you ever have a chance to swap sixteen politicians for one business man, do it. Their relative value is more than 16 to 1. When a man has to keep his religion and politics separated it is because he has a mighty bad quality of one or the other. The "yellow-dog" Republican and the "moss-backed" Democrat think more of party than they do of country. It is a sad thing to learn that so many of our beliefs are wrong, but it is a sadder thing never to discover it. There is no good reason why fifty votes in Mississippi should count as much as a hundred votes in Ohio. There are a number of Standard Oil men on both sides. This gives promise of a smooth campaign. It is remarkable that so many people are willing to use their mouths as social garbage wagons. And now Heytl is in trouble again. Some people cannot be happy unless they are miserable. When we can divide on political questions it will be proof that we do not think with our skin. Can one who will engage in all kinds of political trickery and dishonesty be a Christian? Oh, Politics! Politics! What crimes are committed in thy name—oh, Politics! A news report states that Perry Heath has at last gone to Halifax—Nova Scotia. Tillman said: "You can always depend on Democrats making fools of themselves." From Chicago the cry was sent out—"Don't give up the ship"—subsidy, Wall street occupies a good position. No matter who loses it wins. The highest form of honesty is to be honest with one's self. PENCILINGS. By W. Milton Lewis, Indianapolis, Ind. The insertion of an elective franchise plank in the platform of the Republican party may not do any harm, that is about as much as can be said for it. Of course it puts the Republican party on record as friendly to the Negroes, but such a proceeding was hardly necessary, since that party has always appreciated the colored man. President Roosevelt has not been slow in standing for all the people, and for which he has got himself unpopular in some sections. With this preponderance of evidence of friendship the colored men in Chicago were a little bold in asking further evidence of friendship when such a step was as likely to be a costly experiment as otherwise. The Negro question is a great one, not a great political one only, but a great racial one. I do not think any one is to-day prepared to say that the plank will do good; it runs a great risk, and at a time when we need our friends. That easy consent to the demands of the cotole of colored gentlemen at Chicago certainly is ominous when the race question is so great. Yet it hardly seems reasonable that the great party is playing the colored voters, but there stands the plank in the platform of a twentieth century Republican party. Is it there solely because it was demanded? Does it mean that the colored brother shall have what he wants even if it be the means of his destruction? It is a fact that the civil and political status of the colored people needs remedial agencies, but the one struck upon is of doubtful efficacy. The constitution is ample enough to care for the peoples' ills, if it is enforced. And it stands to reason that the members of congress, regardless of party ties, should be importuned to sustain the principles of the constitution they swore to obey. Why not obligate all? It is a question of races, and it will be hard to force through the narrower political channels. Keeping the peace and observing the laws are incumbent on every man; they are not especial duties for Republicans. The object of the colored politicians at Chicago was just and laudable as to intent, but the result is not by any means salutary as I see it. That the general government should never admit the knowledge of the existence of disfranchisements by any official acts, at least by any acts looking forward to their support, should amount to a principle. The proposition in the plank having in mind the reduction of Southern representation as a compensation for disfranchisements violates that principle. If the two values are sized up it will readily be seen which is the greater. It is said that this reduction will compel the respect of Southern white men who, rather than lose such representation, will accord colored men their political rights. But, if the two propositions were submitted to the Southern white men, it is very likely that they would elect to stay at home, knowing that by so doing the Negro would be cut out of politics. In fact it has already been said, and it seems reasonable from their viewpoint. Colored men, some of them, are saying that the plank is in the direction of setting the thing right. Setting the thing right sounds good, but what about it? To my notion it is not settled right even if the government succeeds in making a compromise with the South as the promoters of the plank hope for. The ultimate that the colored man will come to his own through the medium of the South's curtailed representation. For this hoped for condition our rights, although in abeyance, are to be permanently bartered away. No recourse now; everything surrendered for the mere privilege of chastising the South; no courts of appeal. Beyond all this, the constitution points out no such way; it forbids any manner of suffrage restriction based on race, color or previous condition of servitude. If the question is to be settled right, then the existing Southern States' constitution wherein they conflict with the 15th amendment will have to be declared null and void. The constitution does not call for reduction of representation in the given conditions; it absolutely forbids such constitutions. But there are many things to consider; the framers of the constitution did not contemplate present condition; those who framed the 15th amendment did not see until this day. Racial complexities and perplexities have arisen that forbid the peaceful pursuance of the political tenor of our way. These new conditions are the new terms in the problem, they play their part and must be considered. Rights in abeyance are not rights denied, and stand a chance in the evolution of things, men and nations of swinging back again. But governmental cognizance and endorsement of rights dented means eternal gloom. Where are we at? Jeffersonville Jottings In Social Circles.

Distribution, term of 1903-04 over $5,000.00. This institution is amply endowed therefore, able to offer unusual advantages to young colored woman. JESSIE FLETCHER. The recent announcements of the various candidates entering the race for legislative honors, are bringing before the public many men of sterling worth in the community; men who heretofore have never asked anything at the hands of the party. In this connection Mr. Jessie Fletcher presents an example of much interest to the colored people throughout the city. It is conceded by all that he has ever been a substantial friend to the Negro and many are the beneficiaries among the colored people of his generous liberality. His charitable donations are on record and no colored charity ever received "no" for an answer when they appealed to him. It is to be hoped, now that we have an opportunity of showing our gratitude that every colored voter will stand by Mr. Fletcher at the convention. BUFFALO HUMP MINES Present Prospectfully the Greatest Investment of Modern Times. The Buffalo Hump Mines, west of Thunder Mountain and east of Oregon, are surprising even their friends. These mines are a part of the valuable property owned by the Northern Star Mining Co. It is foolish to try to look into a mountain, but the holes in the Northwestern mountains have gone in so far and have been tunneled and sampled by such careful men and the producing mines have tallied in their output with the preliminary estimates so exactly that one is warranted in expressing a belief that within the next five years they will increase the gold output of America by a large per cent. Money is going into these mines now, but when it begins to come out it will come out in a golden flood that will make cities flow on the mountain sides, and in the desert and convert that which is wilderness now into the character and substance of American civilization. Vast fortunes are to be made and vast fools with it, but in a generation or two, these fortunes will become part of the common property of the common people. For the fool is not a permanent investor according to the Bible. This Western country should appeal particularly to the thoughtful colored people. It not only presents the best investment ever introduced, but offers a home of peace and prosperity, far removed from the predjudices and handicaps of the South and Middle West.

As we arrived at the depot an ofay band was there playing to meet the excursionists, and as the parade was formed there we were forced to take a part and all along the line of march our band was met with round after round of applause. We are still pleasing the people. I forgot to mention in my last weeks' notes about the com pany being entertained in Butte, Mont. after the show, by our old friend Harry Peyton at his club rooms. The boys are all well, and send regards to all. In the last race on July 6 Jim Terrell, a chestnut horse by Troubadour, Miss Booker, ran second. In the second race on July 7 he ran second, he was heavily played by a corterie of Chicago gentleman. J. H. Cooper, of Chicago, stood in center field as the barrier raised, and saw his charge left standing, shouted to the Jockey to go on with him; the boy, McBride heard him and set sail around the first turn, and down the back stretch they went, just as they hit the half, Cooper shouted to the boy to sit still that he would win from there. Mr. J. H. Hudlum, his partner, says no chance, just at that time they reached the three eights, and Jim had raced up into fourth position passing his horses at every stride. Cooper shouted, "It's all over as I know he is fit to go four miles (Mai Laura) looked to be ten lengths to the good, just then Mao pulled his whip, and Jim Tyrrell got to her at the three sixteenth, Mac sat still and he romped by her at the eighth pole and won going away, in the good time of 34 flat, the time being remarkable for the heavy track James Pierce, of Chicago, a colored owner and trainer, came here bringing with him "Englethrift", "Minnie Keian" and Burrows. Mr. Pierce had the pleasure of being second in our Derby, and winning one race, a handicap, with Englethrift. He shipped to Chicago from here, where he will remain for a short time, then to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he has Minnie Keian entered in several stakes. He thinks Minnie is one of the best fillies in the West. Notes from A Rabbit Foot Co.—Business bigger than ever. We are receiving the praise everywhere of having the swellest street parade of any company in America, white or colored, this is saying a whole lot but it is a fact, as we use a drum and bugle corps to head the parade, then comes Mr. Chappelle in his $2,000 automobile, manned by Hense Branson, the champion colored chauffeur of America, next comes "Happy" Howe and D. Ireland Thomas in their Madison Square rubber tire tandem team, followed by five more teams containing two ladies each. We have ten walking gents attired in red raglans and silk hats and ten banner boys. Last but not least, the Rabbit Foot Brass Band of twenty pieces making a parade four squares long. We carry three cars and fifty people making the largest Negro show in the world. Our steam callope will be ready August 1. Mr. D. Ireland Thomas is with us again in his same role that he created and is more successful than ever. "Happy" Howe seems funnier than ever. Inman and Davis always make more than good. "Cuba" Santaner is proving himself to be quite a character artist. Jos. McMurray, the New Orleans boy, is with us doing well. Miss Grace Hoyt is getting hers nightly, and is a clever artist. Miss Ada Harris, the leading lady, has been sick for some days, is up and at her post. Misses Stevens, Whestley, Smith and Hoyt are doing well in their respective roles. The show as a whole is just as strong as any colored attraction on the road. The band under Prof. A. G. Jones, is rendering compositions by the great masters. All are well and send best regards to all. We are all Negroes from the advance agent to the proprietor. Notes from Ninaweb Park, Louisville, Ky., Tom Logan, manager. Our show is running along as smoothly as could be expected. So popular has this resort become that the management found it necessary to employ two orchestra's. Prof. J. B. Tucker's orchestra plays the show, while Prof. Tobe Brown's orchestra renders selections between specialities. This wise innovation, added to the high class performances, is positive proof that we are daily greeted by large and appreciative audiences. Prof. Tucker has composed a catchy rag which he has named, "Pas Arnold's Rag." Rob Batie is meeting with success. Rastus Brown makes good in his jig, reel and buck dancing. Wm. Grundy is a favorite. Miss Florence Hines, everybody's favorite opened Monday, and is a tower of strength to this already strong company. Miss Hines made quite a hit in her whistling specialty, clever all round work and singing. Will Grundy sends regards to Cook and Jones. Battie and Simmons send regards to Buddie Glenn, Bob Russell and Pearl Woods. Billy and Estella Johnson have closed in order to attend the rehearsals of the Black Pattt company. Billy Carroll sends regards to Baby Love and Frosty Moore. Frenchie Weatherby of Chicago, came down and paid us a twenty-four hours visit recently. Chas. and Dora Wilson have closed and joined a carnival show. Tuckers' orchestra sends regards to the Chicago bunch. Manager Logan can place two funny comedians, and wants to hear from Pearl Wood, Pauline Crampton, Sanford McKissick, John Tolliver, Albert Carroll and N. Clark Smith. Address all mail to 1001 West Walnut St. Coming Events, Home and Abroad. Winter is gone, the season has passed, and 1904 has thus far left us nothing great to be remembered excepting a run of "Dahomey" in Europe, resulting from the efforts of its managers in having piloted the company to the king's throne, in the royal palace. With multitudes of performers in Europe, when they should be at home to help strengthen the forces here. The younger delegates will stand a good chance to fill the vacancies left open by recent deaths and those who are abroad. Current rumor is in the air. Will Marion Cook, the composer, has crossed the sea to stage "Southerners" and to revise "Dahomey," for an introduction of Avery and Hart to the English public. In the meanwhile Williams and Walker have seen the king, and The Freeman can safely bid them an enthusiastic support in whatever happens to be their next effort. The "Southerners" is a musical comedy, which had a successful run in New York last winter, and which, I regret, I was not able to see. The music is by Mr. Cook. Just what will happen in Europe this season is hard to tell, as it is quite useless to place any estimate on the self-praise, manufactured reports of a flighty feathery composer. Of the coming events at home "Black Patti's Troubadours" heads the list. For constancy, stability and honesty of purpose managers Voelckel and Nolan seem to crowd contempuously to the front, regardless of the momentous proportions of the all-comedy producers. Mme. Sissieretta Jones, looking the picture of health and admiration, if one should judge by her latest photograph, will this season be seen in a new and startling creation of irradiant song. John Rucker, the "Alabama Blossom," will probably be chief comedian of her company. Mme. Mamle Flower, who has already been sufficiently heralded will be seen as a comedy star. The real authors of her play "Queen of the Jungles" are perhaps not to be made known, although we hope so. Gus Hill's forces are to be wide awake as usual. Ernest Hogan's real plans have not yet matured. Billy Kersands' minstrels, with Marsh Craig as a side light and Rusco and Hollands Georgia Minstrels with Clarence Powell and his sunny southern smile, will be in the field as rivals and leading attractions of the West. One of the most important deals among the big ones was the transfiguration of the Cole and Johnson song factory into the clutches of Klaw and Erlanger. This is a most extraordinary report. It has been a well known fact for some time that distinguished white actresses, who are admirers of the Cole and Johnson songs, or factory, which includes big chief Cole, his partner Rosamond Johnson and their little brother James W. Johnson, that these actresses have had disputes with their managers and defied them, to sing these men's songs, in preference to any other composers.

Your claims are located in the heart of the great mineral belt of central Idaho. 3rd. In the early days of '61, and extending over a period of several years, there was a rush of gold seekers to this district which equalled the rush to California in the days of '40. It is a matter of record that 125 ounces of gold were taken out of Dixie Camp in a single day. It is estimated that over $75,000,000 were taken out of these placer camps in these early days. 4th. Where ever exploration has been carried on extensively and intelligently, it has resulted in the opening up of ore bodies of great value, as instanced at Siegel Creek Camp, and proprieties of the Crooked River Mining Co., on Crooked River and many others. With the advent of capital and experienced mining men, we may look for a brilliant future for this extensive mineral section of central Idaho. 5th. The treatment of the ore is very simple. About 60 per cent of the assay values can be extracted by FREE MILLING PROCESS, the balance up to a total of 94 per cent. can be saved by concentration. 6th. There is plenty of water and timber for all purposes on the ground, or within easy reach, and the facilities for cheap mining are excellent. 7th. On the Southern Star a double compartment working shaft 60 feet deep with drifts east and west on the vein shows a 4 foot ledge of solid ore. This shaft is equipped with a hoisting plant and pumping machinery. About 300 feet west of the shaft the ore body is again exposed by two shafts and a tunnel, thereby proving its continuity and extent. The ore at these openings have an average width of 4 feet, and appears to be getting wider where the tunnel has cut it at some depth 8th. From the present appearance of the ledge in the face of the west drift at the main shaft it is evident that ore body is widening in that direction as depth is attained. 9th. During my two years' engagement in superintending the work on the proprieties of the Mammoth and Great Eastern M. and M. Co. I have had excellent opportunities for observation of the conditions governing ore deposition in this camp. I have always considered your claims as good as the best, and I will confess that my intention was to add them to our group of claims, which I would have done but for the fact that you secured them before I did; however, since I am honorably defeated I can only congratulate you on having secured such valuable claims, and trust that you and your company meet with continued success ANDREW PRADER, E M Northern STAR MINING Company 744 Claypool Building, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA RACE CLEANINGS W. H. W. Miss Whittaker, a prominent club woman of Savannah, Ga., tells how she was entirely cured of ovarian troubles by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I heartily recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a Uterine Tonic and Regulator. I suffered for four years with irregularities and Uterine troubles. No one but those who have experienced this dreadful agony can form any idea of the physical and mental misery those endure who are thus afflicted. Your Vegetable Compound cured me within three months. I was fully restored to health and strength, and now my periods are regular and painless. What a blessing it is to be able to obtain such a remedy when so many doctors fail to help you. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is better than any doctor or medicine I have and very truly yours, Miss EASY WUTTHAIR, 409 30th St., W. Savannah, Ga." 8000 forfitt original of letter (before letter provision). The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women prove beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to conquer female diseases. THE REGIME OF THE SO-CALLED NEGRO RULE IN THE SOUTH. The regime of so-called Negro rule in the south, amounted to just this: He furnished the noise and the votes, but when the smoke of the campagin had all cleared away the white man was invariably in possession of all the best offices, and master of the situation; and he immediately proceeds to pay his debt of gratitude by treachery Treachery not only to the Negro, but to the best interest of the state; knowing full well that his misdeeds would be credited to the "Negro domination." This thing continued from the passage of the (15) amendment to the constitution, until the southern Democrats by force and fraud took control themselves. The local Negro leaders always had their price, and were brought up like sheep; the poor ignorant Negro voter who placed his confidence in the local Negro leader, and voted as he was directed, became the real sufferer, for when trouble came, he alone was there to receive the blows, the leaders had skipped. Politics instead of a blessing to him, became a course, a delusion and a snare; and it is from the ill effects of these conditions that Booker T. Washington is working to extricate him, and place him upon a solid foundation. He RACE Mr. Wm. Plokens, of Yale College, was graduated the seventh highest in a class of 298. He received honors in all of his studies. Dr. T. Adolf Jones, Prof. of Chemistry, Histology and Pathology at Flint Medical College, New Orleans, La., has just returned from a visit to Smithville, Texas. --- Madam Bishop G. W.

The Elgth regiment, Illinois Nationa Guard, a colored organization which saw service in Cuba, has abandoned its proposed trip to the St. Louis expedition. The regiment had made preparations to attend the fair in all the panoply of war and Colonel Marshall asked that quarters be provided in the barracks occupied by other militia organizations. In reply he was told that colored troops could not be allowed in the barracks occupied by white troops. --- is being misrepresented, cartooned, slan dered and condemned by a class of Negroes who are unable to point to anything of value to their race that they have ever accomplished or attempted. They pose as the higher educated classes, "The Smart Set," honorables and professors. As Mr. Washington has aptly styled them, they are "just smart."

Direct banking connections in every county in the State of Indiana. The Boston young men who are conducting the Anti-Booker T. Washington crusade would do well to take a trip to Tuskegee, and go out into the country for miles adjacent thereto, in the black belt of Alabama, and as far as the influence of Tuskegee has extended, and they will see thrift among their race in abundance; and then let them return to their Boston home, and go about the sections there where their race is the more numerously located their influence has extended, and they will behold idleness, drunkenness and debauchery of every description. The money spent in keeping up this trade of abuse of Booker T. Washington could be employed to great advantage in disseminating some of his doctrines of thrift among their immediate neighbors. It is hardly worth while saying to them however, that their warfare will never result in Washington lowering his flag to them. Their time and money is being wasted. Mr. Washington has the confidence of the best blood of the race; the thinkers, the workers, and the doers of things are with him to a man. The "dudes the shaddies," and cheap limitators are against him, and it is perhaps fitting that they should be. It is the chaff separated from the wheat. They have the ballot in Massachusetts, are free to come and go when and where they please, but are they learning useful trades? Are they in business to any considerable extent? Are they building up industry among themselves? I can answer with a big N. They are free to spend their earnings in the saloons, barrooms, restaurants, theaters, dance halls, etc., but into the factories or trades they cannot, or do not go. They prate about liberty, and yet would deny freedom of speech ar difference of opinion. They attribute the basest motives to all who do not agree with them, and would, and do resort to mob violence in order to silence those who have other views than theirs for solving the race problem at the south. They are thoroughly in consistent in their every word and action. They condemn Booker T. Washington, yet do not attempt to create anything in place of his scheme of industrial education for the masses in the south. Their idea of freedom is to sit around Boston, frequent the bars, restaurants, theatres and abuse everybody who believes in work. They want something for nothing. They represent the dependent class among us. Manhood is known to them only by name, yet they would have you believe that they are the real champions of manhood in the Negro. They are nothing more nor less than cheap politicians and mischief makers and of no earthly use to the race. I saw hundreds of young Negroes at Tuskegee working at trades and instructing others, any one of whom are of more real value to the race than the entire combination of Boston anti-Washington Negroes. CHAS. R. DOUGLASS. EANINGS They could come, but must provide a camp and commissary outfit of their own, and go into camp outside of the grounds. An appeal was made to the national government, but an answer was returned that the matter rested with the fair officials. President Council delivered an address recently before the people of Muskogee, I. T., on "The Bright Side of Negro Development," which was well received. He spent a few days at Hot Springs for his health. Prospects are bright for another term. Applications are coming in daily from all parts of the country. Work has begun on the Carnegie library and a new dormitory for boys will be erected immediately.

Manufactured only by THE LAUNDRY THE FREEMAN: AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER The Atlanta Deppins played three games with the Chickamauga Giants, last week, winning two games and tieing the third in twelve innings, 5-5. On July 4, the first of three games between the Deppins and New Orleans was played before 5,000 people. Manager P. A. Thomas is proud of his men, and is willing to risk them with any team. If Pitt burg should win four pennants Barney Dreyfuss would shake the moth balls out of those old time pennant rags and hang them alongside the new ones; he would give a banquet for everybody on earth, including Capt. Clarke; he would see wings on newspaper men instead of horns and hoofs; and he would go all the way to New York to see the Giants crawl into the subway and try to pull it in after them. And still Clarence Matthews, the clever colored shortstop of the Harvard University team, continues to show his worth as a star fielder and lord of swat. The Chicago Record-Herald has the following to say concerning the annual game played between Harvard and Yale July 2: "Shortstop Matthews for Harvard also, did, great execution with the hickory, his three singles coming at a time to advance base runners. While the heavy hitters, Randall and Matthews, made the only errors for Harvard, still they distinguished themselves in the field by accepting many difficult chances." This game was won by Harvard, Yale being shut out. ASSISTANT STARTER AT INDIAN- APOLIS RACES A NEGRO. The name assistant starter from its tone would appear one of minor importance. This, however is in the abstract only, for the real duties of the person assigned to this work on a race course, is equal in importance to that of the starter proper. It devolves upon the assistant starter to line up the horses at the "gate" and keep them under control until the starter gives the word "go!" These duties are performed very skillfully by J. W. McADow, of Denver, Col. a colored man. Mr. McADow has had great experience in this work. He has been with Dr. Stone for many years, who served as official starter throughout the meeting which closed at the Fair Grounds last Saturday. Mac is a good fellow, and has made many friends among sporting men with whom he has come in contact. This was his first visit to Indianapolis, and he expresses himself highly pleased with the city and the people. His salary is $7 50 per day. GEORGE DIXON STILL GETTING HIS BUMPS. At the Liverpool Gymnastic Club, Thursday, June 2, a contest of twenty rounds, at catch weight, was fought between George Dixon, of America, and Tom Burns, of Winds, Eng., for £25 and a purse of £50, given by the management. The men were very evenly matched for height and reach, and a capital fight was witnessed. In the first few rounds Burns kept the American busy with lefts in the ribs, to which the latter replied at close quarters with half arm punches. The Windes youth had a strong lead half way through, Dixon failing to stop Burns, who was forcing matters in every round and dealine out heavy body and head punches. Dixon's returns, although clever, lacked steam. In the latter portion of the bout the American did better, but was unable to wine off =Stick Blue At All Crocers Wiggly Stick DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Wiggle-Stick around in the water. NDRY BLUE COMPANY, Chicago the points scored against him, and at the end of the allotted rounds Burns received the award on points. About this time ten years ago the little colored wooder would have whipped Burns square with just one crushing left swing. Too bad. (Continued from last issue.) Concerning the white men of this brancho of the sporting fraternity, I have something to say. What I will say will be read in all the principal sporting circles of America, including Congress, the associated press gang, theatrical managers, christian associations, trusts and business concerns, all white, reached by The Freeman. Five hundred thousand readers and subscribers of America's greatest colored newspaper, will not forget the declaration in a hurry. What I shall say reaches the proper people. The Freeman is sold in San Francisco where there are plenty of messenger boys to carry the news to Monroe, regardless of Jeffries. All prize fighters who draw the color line are curs and cowards. All white heavy weight champions of the past including John L. Sullivan an James J. Jeffries, can not go down in history as fighters with honorable records, they were cowards who were afraid of a black fighter for good reasons. They dishonor the country and indicate the cowardice of white men in all other walks of life. For instance, no white man's newspaper will dare to be brave enough to publish my assertions. The heavy weight prize fighter nuisance is getting too cheap to last. What do they think we are? Jack Munroe whom we all hope will some day be champion of the world, must not draw the color line, if he becomes champion; not if he desires a memorial record in history, such as Sullivan and Jeffries can never honorably claim. There will be a very loud cry at the next heavy weight "white feather" exhibit of the color line—that's what! What kind of men do Edgrin, Naughton and other sporting writers call themselves, to stand for a "bluff" that the public does not like and not "call"? The definition of "Heavy weight color line," simply means that Negroes, sporting editors, athletic managers and the public must bow to their sublime wishes and pay them in the bargain, the chumpe! So the laugh is on us all and the Negro fighter is the hero centered in a very laughable comedy indeed. What do respectable people care about whether fighting champions are red or green since they have no social standing. What we need next is a good heavy-weight champion who is not a coward or afraid of a colored man. Everytime the "white feather" cry goes up, the Negro race is flattered. The color line you know, in fighting circles, will hereafter be known as the "white feather" cry. All managers and newspaper men who cater to the "white feather" in preference to the divine wishes of the public, will be henceforth known as "slaves to the 'white feather'". Heavy weight championship battles will not be interesting or financially great in the future, if Irishmen, who can whip all other races except the Negro, persist in doing what other races would not do. With all due respect to the throughbred Irish of this nation, we would like to meet, without agitation of sentiment one Irish American fighter who is true to his country. Three fingers of whisky a day has wrecked many a $10,000 farm. A hen man has figured out that the hens of America lay 203 eggs for each one of our population each year. Dandelion greens, pieplant pie and asparagus do a whole lot to make one realize that spring is really here. Most cows will milk right if fed right. One-half of the cow keepers of the country need to learn how to feed their cows. If it had been our lot to be an old maid and be dependent upon our own work to secure a living we would keep poultry and let cats and pug dogs alone. More than ordinary success in any line of farming is invariably the result of more than ordinary enterprise, care and intelligence. There is mighty little of what is termed luck about farming. Good roads conventions are the order of the day, but the man has not yet been discovered who can make good road out of gumbo soil during a rainy spring when the frost is coming out. Mind this—there is no "get rich quick" business about farm work, no lottery prizes offered by nature. It is put in a dollar's worth of toll and draw out $1.10 worth of reward, and sometimes the 10 cents is wanting. The live oaks of the south are among the most beautiful shade trees to be found anywhere in the country. Wherever they have room they grow with a skinnelliness and symmetry which are the very essence of landscape art. During one day's ride recently in the fore part of April we saw men picking both corn and cotton of last year's crop and in adjoining fields other men busy planting the new crop. There are some men who need a year with 500 days in it. We have known the petty rivalries and jealousies between fruit men to result in the giving of a bad name to a most worthy type of fruit which some one of them originated. Men engaged in such a splendid work can afford to be generous. Rye is not estimated at its true value as a fall and early spring forage crop up in the north country where the snow falls. Sown on the cut cornfield in September, then pastured till snow comes and again as soon as it disappears in the spring, it pays well even if the remnant is plowed under in May for other crops. Grass seed sown on such a field in March is almost invariably a sure catch. This fall and spring rye pasture is just the thing for the dairy cows. An Illinois reader wants to get a piece of corn land into pasture as quickly as possible in the spring, and asks how he had better do it. We would put the land in the best possible shape with either disk or plow as soon as the ground was fit to work, sow two bushels of oats, six quarts of timothy and three of clover to the acre, and turn the cows in as soon as the oats were four or five inches high. Along the last of June or as soon as the oats not fed off got headed out I would run a mower over the field, when the timothy and clover would show up and make a good pasture from then on. A country which waged an expensive war to liberate and regenerate a weak and helpless people from a purely humanitarian standpoint ought to have sense enough to so legislate as to rid its own people of the evils of food adulteration. Let the next war be waged on the rascals who wax fat on frauds perpetrated upon and quietly submitted to by the American people—the dopers, fixers, mixers, adulterators and swindlers who in a wholesale way rob our pocketbooks and ruin our digestion, the borax-formaldehyde-preservative and salicylic crowd who would eat out the lining of any man's gizzard to make a quarter. The cotton crop of the south aggregates 11,000,000 bales of 490 pounds to the bale, or 5,300,000,000 pounds, worth about 9 cents per pound, or $485,000,-000. No wonder the south is prospering. On the 100 acre farm there should always be not less than twenty acres in clover, this clover patch to be moved about from year to year so as to cover all the arable portions of the farm every five or six years. With all the many improved appliances in use in the abattoirs of the country all animals are still killed by hand, a knock in the head or a slit in the throat still being the most effective and humane method to be employed. The big state fairs have just about exterminated the smaller county fairs, the average farmer preferring to put his time and money in an outing at the big show. We regard this as a positive misfortune to the best interests of agriculture. If we were going to experiment with alfalfa, we would sow it on a tract upon which clover had been the previous crop, if we could do so, the probability being that the bacterial life left there by the clover would also be favorable to the alfalfa. of T.

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. 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.

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." Thomas-Worth Marriage The formal engagement of Rev. Carlos O H. Thomas. D.

ADDRESS Laughlin Mfg. Co. 151. Griswold St., DETROIT, MICH. 337 I RHEUMATISM CURED By Paracamph. Mr E L Hawkins, 123 West 27th st New York City, says; "I have used Paracamph in a severe case of rheumatism, and will say that I got immediate relief. I have tried almost every preparation that is now before the public, and find that Paracamph is without question the best remedy for rheumatism. I wish you success and heartily recommend Paracamph." Mr. Hawkins is only one out of many thousands that have been cured by the wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph. This new remedy is a scientific preparation, which when applied opens the pores of the skin, allowing the soothing, cooling oils to penetrate the seat of the aliment, removing the soreness and congestion, drawing out the fever and inflammation by inducing sweating. It sweats out the pain and aches, and this is Nature's plan. Don't ruin your stomachs with strong internal medicines for rheumatism, neuralgia, sore joints etc. We guarantee Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used as directed. If it fails your druggist will refund your money. If your druggist don't handle Paracamph ask him to get it for you. If he won't do this send direct to us. But don't take any substitute because there is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50 cent and $1 bottles. The 50 cent size contains three times as much as the 25 cent size; the $1 bottles eight times as much as the 25 cent size. The Paracamph Company, Louisville, Ky, U. S. A. Best because Purest.
