THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW Editor John Mitchel Sounds a Key- Note to Bankers at New York- How to Generate Enthusiasm in the Campaign. (Staff Correspondence.) The strong and sensible speech of John Mitchell, Jr., before the Banker's Association in New York will do it. It put our case in a maudly way, and was heard by the element of our American citizenry that "run things." Editor Mitchell was eminently correct when he said: "A colored man is respected just impropression as he respects himself. That is so in the South as elsewhere. We have found a way for us to reach success and respect through finance. Nowhere in the domain of business have I found a white man other than ready to help us upward. * * Negro leafers are only a block to our progress. Wed like to run them out. There is no need for the intelligent white man and the intelligent Negro. When you hear a white man get up to talk about the Negro with a future to solve he means the leaping Negro. He doesn't mean the Negro of our kind." No, the educated, thrify, industrious and self-respecting Negro presents no problem to the real people of the land. The idle, vicious, intemperate and illiterate blacks and the narrow, ignorant and prejudiced whites together make a race problem that is exasperating to the last degree. The logical outcome must necessarily be a sympathetic combination on economic, civil and educational lines between the enlightened and well disposed members of the two races and a determined effort on the part of both to redeem, regulate or suppress the lower orders that cause trouble and retard progress at every turn. The decent Negro has cut loose from the rowdy Negro—they have nothing in common and Mr. Mitchell and all of us want the fact emphasized. The Richmond editor was in splendid company when among the bankers of the nation and the man's cordial welcome he received was indeed an encouraging sign of the times. He was recognized because of his demonstrated worth and ability to stand up and be counted in the world's most trying activities. His speech touched the spot and a better understanding of relative positions has come because of it. We must know it is no small thing to our race, struggling under a mass of misrepresentation and slander to have it told to these money kings that the Negro has ten prosperous banks, carrying an aggregate capital of $20,000 with deposits amounting to $300,000 and that the production of Negro hands in the South last year reached the astounding total of $233,436,515. It is something to have had a full fledged banker at a gathering of financial magnates. The kind of talk Editor Mitchell indulged in is not "cheap." It is in exact line with the wise preachments of Booker T. Washington and embodies the philosophy of the National Negro Business League. Such practical and uplifting speeches will do more in a single night to put us on our feet as citizens than all the incendiary deliverances that could be belched fourth in a hundred years. The crop of orators this year is unprecedentedly rich, but the exigencies of the campaign will require the services of a very large per cent of the output, heavy as it is. Deadly apathy is as fatal to the triumph of right principles as the aggressions of the enemy. The good citizen is too often conservative, easy going, lethargic and content to let things take their course. The bad citizen is ever on the alert—bold, aggressive and unsorrupulous—looking with argus eyes for the main chance. The popular conscience is awakened and enthusiasm is stirred by oratory, and the popular intelligence and stern sense of duty are quickened by fervid appeals to reason, backed up by soid facts and sledge hammer logic. We do not speak as a politician, nor with a disposition to meddle in the swirling push of politics, but it is evident to him who punctures the outside crust of today's situation in the pivotal states that there is a feverish undercurrent of unrest on the one hand and a dangerous serenity on the other. Dissatisfaction and overconfidence are alike inimical to the best interests of righteous government. The Negro is not to be neglected in this campaign. It may be that his ballot will decide the result—who can tell? That the race, loyal as it may be, stands in need of instruction goes without the saying, and that the black man ought to be impressed more fully with the importance of the issues at stake as well as the WELL, JUST ANOTHER:—I received better advertising results from The Freeman than I have from all the other papers combined, aside from one or two of the larger white journals.—E. C. Brown, Newport News, Virginia. sacredness of the trust that suffrage entails all will agree. So, then, it behooves the managers to be on their guard and lose no points in this hazardous game. "Poonpooing" the opposition wins nothing and laughing the case of the "kickers" out of court does not non suit them on election day. Every force which right falls to capture will be made use of by the watchful enemy. If the chairmen are "onto their job" they will "take care" of the Negro newspapers—civilization's sheet anchor and bulwark—and institute a whirlwind campaign that will fire the Negro heart as it has not been fired since the days when Grant, Morton, Conkling, Blaine and Garfield were names to conjure with. New York, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kansas and Iowa have many Negro voters who want to see the light and they want to have the light brought to them in a convincing manner by their ablest men. The battle will be on when the hills and dales and halls and street corners of these decisive state ring with the eloquence of giants like former governor P. B. S. Pinohback, Judson W. Lyons, John C. Dancy, Bishops Walters, Derrick and Arnett, Henry Y. Arnett, H. P. Cheatham, James E. Shepard, Phil Waters, Charles W. Anderson, W. H. Lewis, G. L. Knox, Gurley Brewer, J. Milton Turner, S. Cummings, J. Madison Vance, T. Thomas Fortune, William Pickens, W. Allison Sweeney and a host of others equally well fitted to scatter information and cast upon the waters the bread of political life. The Negro is "all right," but he requires careful treatment to keep him "all right." SHARPS AND FLATS. A white law breaker is no better than a black criminal. Chairman Cortelyou's gunners have finally touched off the campaign. Business offers the line of the least resistance in the Negro's march toward success. There is no color in crime. There should be none in the operation of the law in dealing with the races. The Boston Colored Citizen has entered its second year and it looks healthier than ever in its new clothes. The "bad Negro" is too much in evidence. The worthy members of the race will have to suppress him in their self defense. We have had numerous national gatherings this year and all have been successful. Each had a definite purpose and each faithfully adhered to it to the great credit of itself and the race. J. Milton Turner, former minister to Liberia, has returned to the Republican party. The silver tongued Missourian got tired of being in the minority as well as being in uncongenial company. There is no room to doubt the friendship of Senator Fairbanks for the colored race. He comes of the purest abolition stock and his broad humanitarianism has been demonstrated time and again to our personal knowledge in behalf of both races alike. The influence of the colored women promises to be a potent factor in the campaign. Mrs. Lena Mason, the wellknown evangelist, will make political speeches in Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Montana. She will be the only colored woman thus employed by the national committee. The militia officers whose dereliction of sworn duty resulted in the lynching of the Negroes of Statesboro, Ga., should be summarily dismissed from the service in disgrace if not more severely punished. Respect for the law can be maintained only by visiting drastic punishment upon those who violate it. The New York Age has broken away from its likeness to the New York Sun and is out in a dapper suit of modern cut. The change is a vast improvement and we are also glad to see the name of Editor T. Thomas Fortune unfurled gaily at the mast head. The Age is the Negro's typical advocate and most fearless champion. Long life to Fortune's doughty Age! Newspaper men are proverbially born for good luck and their glory doesn't always come in the form of sordid dollars. The intelligence reaches us that Editor George P. Stewart, of the Indianapolis Recorder, is the happy fathern of twins—a boy and a girl. Subscribers of the Recorder should and doubtless will take appropriate action in the premises.

A Word Endowed Prominent Stage Factors and Renown WILLIAMS AND WALKER'S RE TURN-NEW YORK SEES A NEW DAHOMEY. Back from Europe, Williams and Walker, now known as the 'Royal Comedians' and their excellent company opened at the Grand Opera house New York City, for a two weeks engagement Saturday, August 27. On Saturday evening, September 3 I was present at an evening performance of "In Dahomey" a new version of their popular musical comedy and found it to be very much to my liking. The improvements in the play having been in direct harmony with my sharp criticism of last seasons deficiencies. In review this greater performance, at d in justice to myself, it is quite necessary to state that I have never changed my methods in giving my views of these plays, no matter what the opinions of actors are or may have been. Having been at all times honest in my endeavors and advice to sway the actors of my race to a higher educational standard I am fully prepared to say that this organization has reached perfection only by changes which I have suggested, and by an indirect regard for what I had chosen to say about past performance. The new Dahomey, book by Jesse Shipp, lyrics by Alex Rogers, and music by Will Martour Cook and James Vaughn is now decidedly of a superior BERT A. BERT A. WILLIAMS. GEO. W. WALKER. BERT A. WILLIAMS. order. The curtain first rises on a prologue; the scene is laid in Dahomey. This is all we see of Dahomey, but it serves to open the play as it should in the clime of its namesake. The prologue is interspersed with bright, catchy music and a drill of the natives that pleases the eye. The solo's by Miss Mattie Edwards and G. Henri Tapley, two singers with rather light voices, were quite artistically rendered. The first act of the comedy opens with a lively chorus, as it should. An incidental solo by Lloyd G. Gibbs fills the air with rich music and recalls to mind the past laurels of this once remarkable tenor singer. J. Leubrie Hill, a new comer, made his first appearance as Dr. Straight, replacing Fred Douglas as the street fakir, and won favor throughout the play. The street fakir scene was all that could be desired, and the singing of Richard Connor, who generally pays more attention to the orchestra, the audience and himself than he does to his duty in the play, found favor. Connor has a pretty, light tenor voice which he uses with expression as heard in his rendition of the song "When the Moon Shines." Then, between the turmels of a Salvation Army band and other commotion William and Walker enter in opposite directions, receiving a royal welcome. It was not the endorsement of having seen King Edward that filled the house from pit to dome, but rather the improvement of the stars and the play. The derivatives of Bert Williams and the quotations of witticism by George Walker, which fed the audience sumptuously was positively more mertortious and convincing than ever before Bert A. Williams is today the world's greatest natural Negro delinelier, his bits of race comedy opatients are all to the good and several miles in advance of the topical and local squibs of Lew Dockstader or any other comedians of the white race who black up their faces. The irresistible flow of mirth which comes from his tide of natural mannerism can never be discounted by any other comedian in this generation. His rendition of "I May be Crazy, but I'm no Fool" made the house resound with scream, such as I have never witnessed from any other American comedian, not even Francis Wilson or De Wolf Hopper. In the street scene, after Walker had left the stage, Mr. Williams, unconsciously over-stepped the bounds of legitimate propriety in resorting to a half minute cue leading to his song. His little story about "mince ple" was illegitimate, he had better cut it out, BY SYLVESTER RUSSELL. and a bit of rot that stretched out the scene that he and Walker had already made about five minutes too long. It would have been much better if Williams had addressed his song title one "Only" to Walker as Walker left the stage. It is requisite to omit footlight talk in a street scene above all others, let us remind Mr. Williams. But, with all things reasonably considered, the present trimmph of Mr. Williams now admits comparison between his position and the place occupied by Bob Cole. Mr. Cole, by right of education, musical and literary attainments; his knowledge as a stage producer as well as his ability as a comedian (the first legitimate one) rate him as the foremost comedian of his race, but as a genuine Negro comedian Bert A. Williams is superior to all to every race. He takes his place then, notably today as the greatest Negro character dialect comedian in the world. George W. Walker seems to have developed with time in his artistic element as a kid gloved comedian. On this occasion he dressed at all times with good taste. His English dress suit and white pointed out vest, and his English sik hat and overcoat were something a little too smart for this country. He showed more comedy in his dialogues with Williams than ever before and his song "Me and de Minstrel Band," with a minstrel parade chorus march was a very novel feature. "Dear Luzon" was another song which admitted the words "I've been to London on the Strand," which we唱 sinfully. The incl- [Name] dental Spanish dances led by Ada Overton Walker were beautiful to behold. Mrs. Walker omitted the wheelbarrow scene. She enters the stage alone, as usual. She has to pander to a short talk in solloquy, but before seating herself on the steps she addresses herself too much to the audience—if you please? She sang "Why Adam Sinned" prettily and with artistic perfection. Later in the play she wore a short white Swiss dress, platted and bordered with yellow satin. Her most pretentious effort was a song called "A Rich Coon's Babe," this and some very novel steps in dancing brought her repeated eucores. In her Spanish dance she wore Spanish green. Mrs. Walker does not play a part which could bring her into direct contact with the two stars, so she goes it alone—lonesie little thing Lottie Williams wore a stunning yellow spangled Swiss with a long ruffled train and easily repeated her former success as a dress dealer. Hattie McIntosh, wife of the famous belated comedian, Tom McIntosh, with looks somewhat changed but still beautiful and always the best dressed women in the company, again played Mrs. Lightfoot with good taste and wore a beaded black in the last act, which reflected very appropriately and might be worn on this tour throughout the play. A grand fiule quintette, a concerted number. introduced Miss Ella Anderson as a soprano soloist. This woman has a fairly well trained voice of splendid quality and with care should become a great singer. Rosa Lee Tyler, formerly of a Chicago church choir and later heard in vaudeville, made her first appearance with this company, and in her solos won the approval of the lower house. Mme. Tyler, who was first introduced on the professional stage by Mr Sam Lucas, has a very peculiar sweet voice and a peculiar method of her own in using it. She is what we might term a mezzo soprano contralto, her voice is limited in power to an uncertain degree but almost unlimited in range, and some of her middle notes are seedy and a trifle harsh. She shows culture, but whatever her training may have been her articulation is faulty and her execution does not display chest tone so perfectly mastered by Black Patti, Cordeila McClain and approached by Hattle Hopkins. Her trills are genuine but so light as to be almost drowned out by the altogether too heavy brass foundry in the Grand opera house orchestra. For an encore to her classical number she succeeded in pleasing with "Suwanne river," but "Old Kentucky Home" --- would suit her voice better than to sing the former song after Black Patti and Mme. Flower, both far greater in using it. Jessie Shipp, clever enough himself to be a comedy star, gave excellent support as usual, as did also Alex Rogers, James Lightfood, George Cattin and William Elkins. Others in the cast are George Hammond, James Rivers, L. H. Saulbury, Theodore Pankey, John Edwards and W. H. Chappelle. James Vaughn, a new leader, conducted the orchestra with an air of hope that intelligent musicians might do themselves public credit in recognizing his ability. The majority of the Grand opera house orchestra, though, I should say is very good. The chorus was drilled to perfection and the costumes are the finest that can be had. The women, with but few exceptions of vanity and a pink spot on Lottie Williams' face, all succeeded in showing their true color. Even Hattie Mointosh added to her beauty and real color by omitting powder from her face, chest and shoulders. The appearance of some darker women in the chorus also added to the genuine sentiment of true Negro comedy and completely destroyed the prejudice which formerly existed in the peanut gallery. That the race problem will be a notable fixture in the judgment of Negro performances let us thank the management and stars of this organization that they have considered the importance of a great race newspaper like The Freeman and the recognition of the writer who has come up in the same measure of stage expert. GEO. W. GEO. W. WALKER. ence and procedure among the best educated of those who now occupy the foremost positions in the annals of Negro stage history. The fact that all the stars in the company wore diamonds, seen from the naked eye, and all the stockholders on the outside were buster than at any other theater; the gallery rush being greater and the seats all being sold out and without an extra word of encouragement from New York newspaper critics fortell the rate of speed in which the Negro race will soon be, through foe and flame, advancing. The Black Patti Company (having the greatest female singer) still has the greatest singing chorus on record as well as two superior male soloists (Worles and Bell). But, when it comes to comedy operas Williams and Walker have now matured at a rate that places them above all other entertainers of their race. To this I will assert that I have never considered Williams and Walker nor their company, excepting Mrs Walker, really great until this season. Well for them that they have escaped dethronement! Messrs Hurtig and Seamon, their faithful managers must again be most highly commended in piloting their popular comedians from the luxurious Vanderbilt millionaire gardens at Newport directly across the sea and right into the Royal Palace before King Edward. "A jolly good fellow was he," Said Williams and Walker in jeek! And he fins! He's dead in line! On that we'll both agree. But jolly New York they now say, In accord with Miss Edna May, "She is home," Just after a fraternity Or English holiday. Too much cannot be said in behalf of a young team in the business, namely, "The Crosbya," Harry and Oma, who were seen last season in the leading roles of Prof. P. G. Lowry's Nashville Students Company. They were engaged for this season by one of the largest attractions on the pike at the World's Fair. St Louis, to portray the colored performer up to date, and wmust admit, as did the leading St. Louis papers, that they did there work well, being the only colored specialty people on the pike, where there were performers of every race that inhabits the globe. None are more popular at this great show than this clever little sombrette, and this eccentric comedian, their songs --- and dances are the greatest attractions on the pike. Their graceful and artistic singing and dancing are lauded by all who have had the pleasure of seeing these clever people work. In addition to this Mr Crosby has been putting on strong attractions at Delmar Garden and Lemp's Park, the two leading white summer resorts of St. Louis, making him one of the most popular colored professional men at present in the world's fair city. We hope soon to see these young people headliners in the leading theaters of this country. Letters from managers always welcome. New York City Notes.—Frank Clermont, who is now resting in New York City, joined the American Federation of Music of New York city, No. 310.

Forrest Cozart,) As dinner is the most important meal served it is very necessary that every walter know how to give the service in a satisfactory manner. Dinner. It 1s an indisputable fact that a poor waiter will render the service in such a way that the meal cannot be enjoyed, there- fore the great result expected by the mavager and the labor of an effictent chef will be forever lost and the reputa- tion of the waiter, as well as the head- ‘waiter, will be marred By the adoption of the following rales and the ueage of common sense you will no donbt be able to give satisfaction : ‘You have been told that you must alwaya give the guest a giass of water firet and then proceed to take his order from the left slde, as heretofore direct- ed. After receiving the order bow and walk hurriedly out to the kitchen. In taking this order should the guest order plain or raw oysters on the half shell they should be served first, With oysters serve butter and bread or crack- ers, and place salt, pepper and vineger within reach of the gupet, and ask if he wishes horse-radish or tomato catenp. The oysters will be found in pantry or cold meat room, After serving oysters present guest with a bill-of-fare. Should he order soup and fish you will go out to the silver pantry and get a silver soup tureen with cover and ladle, soup plate and fich plate from dish heater, then go tothe steam table, where you will find the soup and fish, olives, celery, rad- ishes, almonds, etc. ; 1f not on the table will be found in the fruit pantry. After you have the fish and soitp ready return to the dining room, remove oyster plate and place soup plate before your gueet, and soup tureen in front of soup plate, remove cover from tureen and place ladle in soup plate and the guests will help themselves, but should there be a party of two or more, and one give the order for all, then bring in tureen and plage before him, also soup plates, and he will be given the hopor of serving the rest of the guests, As the soup is INDIVIDUAL HOTEL DIRECTORY (One add: It oO ; Including sabecription to The Freecian. tu advance.)

Serve the fish next, then take the guests’ order for dinner. As soon as order is received you will take tray and go to kitchen. Before entering the kitchen leave soup tureen in dish room; fill order as qnickly as possible; stop by the heater and get dishes sufficient for your order. Now, should your guest order roast beef, spring lamb, macaroni with cheese, queen, fritters, mashed or baked potatoes, cauliflower or stewed tomatoes and punch, first zet your roast beef dish or platter, which is a seven: inch one; platters a size smaller for Ismb and macaroni; platters etill a size smaller for fritters aud baked sweet Potatoes.

All vegetables should be placed on left of above dishes; also serve ‘punch on left elde. Be sure the salt, Depper and bread are within reach of the guest; refill glasses with water and see that your guests are well supplied with the necessary condiments.

First serve ple, then pudding and then ice cream and cake, fruit next, then ‘cheese, crackers and coffee, which {s the last course. There {s but little difference in the general rnie between serving supper and breakfast, therefore it will not be neo- essary for me to give Supper. apy lengthy explanation of this service, but will give a few ideas and then refer you to instructions given in serving breakfast. In eupper should the guest order raw or stewed oysters always bring them in first, serving butter, crackers, vinegar, catsup and horseradish, Stewed oys- ters shonld be had from the fry cook and be served in @ bowl or soup plate. Fried eggs, potatoes and other fried or- ders will be had of the fry cook. Oat- meal, etc., will be found in hot water basin, Clear away dishes before serv- ing hot cakes, which should be covered when served, As soon as the guest fin- {shes crumb the table very carefully. Never leave crumbs on the table before your guest. Avoid brushing crambs on your guest or in chairs as you may ruin a costly eult by sodoing. Set your table again and see that everything 1s ready for the next guest. Serve finger bowls after each meal, A PROMINENT HOTEL MAN DEAD. A Staunch Friend to the Colored ‘Waiter—Twin City Notes. St, Paul, Minn., Speclal —The colored Walters have lost one of thelr test friends, Mr. 8. V. Harris, one of the Northwesf ploneer hotel men, and a good frlend to the colored waiters. His death came as a blow to his many friends, A colored crew was engaged by Mr. Harris to succeed waltresses at the Park Hotel, St. James, Minn., at which place Mr. Harris assamed men- sgement August Ist. Mr. James Stew- ard was engaged as headwaiter, and can be addressed at the Merchants’ Hotel. Wm. F. T.

Mr. Frank Silvey has succeeded Will Evans at the Ryan Hotel, at whlch place he had been employed twelve years. We hope Mr. Silvey success and as many years of prosperity as Mr. Evans, who has accepted a position at the new Frederick European Hotel, Charles Saunders has accepted the position of second walter at the Mer- chants’ Hotel, at which place he can be addressed.

The pur= chase price will be refunded if it does not accomplish all we claim for it, by ret- urning it to our office, Stop and think how the public is being deceived by extravagant adver- tisements 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 soft- ening the hair follicles, causing it to collect dandruff and dust. which is a great cause of o many bald heads; and the promoter of the wig industry. We ask youto name us a hair straightener, of any drug composition, that does not pro- @uce these effects. Now in comparison, The Magic Halt Straightener and Shampoo Drier, which is a straightener consisting of a steel bar and an alum- inum comb attached, six inches long, with an ordinary amount of heat, dries @ head of hair after a shampoo and straightens it as fast as it is combed. «» Ita 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 follow- ing 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 ap- pliancé ofits 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.

KNOX, Publisher. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1904. ‘The Negro Realty Company of New York is a brilliant example of what colored men can do if forced to do. Prejudice in New York prevents colored people from renting better class prop- erty; they were driven to make a shift for themselves, and the Realty Company ig an outcome of thelr extremity, This company is capitalized with $500,000; it purchases good property, flats and or. inary residences, renting them to those of their race, in which respect it cute two ways; secures destrable homes and makes the Realty company an actual finanelal force and a means of profitable investment. Indianapolis and many other cities are no better off than New ‘York was; but have they the eame clacs of far seeing men? Flats with modern conveniences would be acceptable in this clty and elsewhere. The money invested to day would not turn in to- morrow, but {t would beat three per cent ina savings bank. Rental prop erty, when kept in the best condition, net from five to elght per cent and sometimes ten. The modern means of living would also be a great investment; beyond that of the mere money side. ‘Well built flata would go in any part of the city. By flats it is mot meant a balldiog good enough for “niggers,” but one good enongh for any une in moderate circumstances, Indianapolis is too slow in this reepect, in many financial respects Business men should take advantage of the dleadvantage, Using it to thelr financial good, thereby getting what in the end is the greatest lever—money. The recent lynchings at Statesboro, Ga., and Huntsville, Ala, have been subjected to considerable alring by the more prominent papers of the Sonth. ‘These lynchings, owing to the presence of the militle, in elther case stamp them as the most fisgrant violation and defiance of law noted in recent years. The militia in elther case, according to the report in Sonthern papers was drawn up as if on dress parade while the mobs passed by with thelr victims ‘The whole proceedings, from the trial in court to the scene of death, was nothing more than mockery. The judge's sentence was in inflamatory language, the sheriff threw open the prison door and yelled “come on,” the militia then acted as guard of honor to the mob, and the mob carried ont the Verdict of the court as if it were rega- larly commissioned. Concerning the puslllsnimity of the militia, the New Orleans Times-Democrat recommends ‘that the officers be shot for cowardice ‘The other journals are no less awift and vigorous in denouncing the farce where life was an issue. They are none too soon; for when and where will such usurpation end if it is not throttled at ones? At appears that this will be the year to test the independency of the Negro voter. it may be as @ matter of self defense, since it is agreed that it is very Ampolitie to have suoh a large element as the Democratic party solidly arrayed against the Negro. However, it will be ill-advised if he eeeks to throw down those of the party who are his positive friends. Says the Governor of Georgia to the Governor of Alabama that “The Goy- ernor of Georgia. under our present law, 1s powerless elther to punish officials who are derelic: in the performances of thelr duties or to enforce the laws against the Jeaders of the mobs ”” Call & constitutional convention at once, Governor, es It 1s said that the recent lynching dis- graces in Georgia will affect the Dem- orate of the State, and that now an air of gloom hangs over the Democratic headquarters. Dontiless the gloomy air will clear away before election, bat the Georgia crackers need a good scaring = Mr. Harry 8. Cummings of Baltimore, ‘Md, will remain in Indiana a while to assist the Republicans in their cam- paign. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ‘It is. indeed, a fact much to be re- gretted, that the pubite is daily brought face to face with the impression that to be @ candidate for public office, a Negro must needs be actnated by dis- honest:motives. Without stopping to argue the wisdom of euch a course, by whoever pursued, we desire to say that there is no question as to its injustice, Those who criticise the course of Geo. L. Knox in his congreselonal aspira- tions should confine themselves to the limits of reason and common sense. To say that he is simply a tool of Dem- ocrats, and tbat he cannot be elected, Is to say that his critics are mind read- ers, Mr. Knox says that he {s not fighting the Republican party; neither does he claim to have broken his faith with Republicans. But as an Indepen- dent Republican he desires the enffcage of the whole people because he feels that the present Kepresentative bas not done his fall duty as the servant of the people, and most especiallyas regards his Negro constituents, without whose support he could not have gained hie present_position, and for whose inter- ests he has given himself very little concern.* On the contrary, this man, representing the most wealthy district in Indiana, where the Negro vote is the balance of power, hes not given them the consideration that he promises for thelr support daring the campaign ees: son. His failure to support Mr. Crom- packer’s resolution favoring the cutting down the representation of those States in the National General, Aesembly whose constitutions have been s0 amended as to diefranchiee a large pro- portion of their Negro vote, which is in direct violation of the National Const!- tution, stands for iteelf a glaring ex ample of his utter disregard for the in- terests of his constituents. We destre to emphasize the fact that we are cin- cere in this contention; and, farther, that we are fully capable of being above bribes and dishonest motives. We deny the assertion that we would sacri five the interests of the race fora paltry sum of money and at the proper time the public will be given ample proofs of our earnest sincerity and purity of motives. We have always stood aud ever will stand as the champion of the race’s rights. For the stand that we have taken we expect criticism and know that we are amendable thereto.

WERLEIN OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, DISCUSSES NEGRO OUESTION. | During the National Convention of Bap tists recently held in Austin, Texas, Dr. S. ‘H. Werlein of the Methodist Episcopal Church (South) delivered a most excellent and well-timed address to his audience on the Negro question. The Austin States- man, a daily publication of that city, sets 4t out in full, and was justified in doing so owing to the wholesome advice given to elther race, Dr. Werlein, like many of those in front of the people, probed down to the truth regardless of the hurt, but in the interest of the future good. We fzel to pay tribute to him, to such men who can rise above mere polite form to please, that socthes for the moment when on the mor- row is all the old time virus, rankling deep aud as threatening as Vesuvius. There is nothing gained in misrepresenting the situ- ation to the Negroes, many of whom can not see the philosophy of the situation, and as many more who do not care to walt what only the wheel of time can bring to passyrand motithat alone; tut ehh sie | es ieee Fa ee eR ac 5 em of the Negroes in numbers, deplores the barbarous among them, has hopes in the leaders, teachers and preachers, whom he insists are doing ‘a commendable and tell- Ing work in preparing the masses for this greater day of civilization, He acknowl edges the growing distrust of the whites, and notes the unrest among the Negroes, holding unscrupulous politicians responsi- ble for much of it, who take advantage of ‘the situation for the creation of political capital; also the papers; they play their part by exaggeration and sometimes by fabrications purely, thus playing one race against the other to the common hurt. In arraigning his own race for holding the Negroes responsible for every crime committed by the race he says : “No more just would it be to hold the Anglo-Saxon people guilty or responsible for such characters as Jack the Ripper, Bill Sykes or Henry VIII. It is to be noted that these gulity of this heinous crime have been in almost every case ignorant as well as brutal "" It goes to say that it is prejudice pure and simple and it is not necessary for any white man to deny that he has it to some degree. The speaker brought the point out and forced it home when he cited an incident where Bishop Haygand pressed a gentleman, who insisted he had no preju- dice whatsoever, to confess that he had just abit. ‘The test was—given two beds in a room, one in which there is a Negro, the other a white man, which bed would you select to sleep in? The gentleman confessed. But at that, the Negroes nor any one will ever see the day when there is not color prejudice; prejudice based merely on color. What is hoped for is a great reduction of this prejudice; to such an extent that it will not hinder civil liberty or the pursuit of labor or happinness. And while telling the truth, let us tell the whole truth, and to this extent—that color preju- dice is not confined to the white race ; it is strong in our own race. And here enters that question of ideals to which a common country ever strives. It is human, this tendency. It may be divine. But if it means that some are to be counted outside of the human breastworks, thep it is of the devil, since man is not responsible for his physical make-up. The doctor cited the bed Incident to prove the impossibility of social equality, a thing the Negroes have ever insisted that they did not care about; they do hope for the full enjoyment off civil liberties, and expect a chance in the industrial fields. When it comes to the professions and the higher things the race itself will be amply prepared to care for them provided they do not suffer in the first premises. Says he, ‘There is no real conflict be- tween the whites and Negroes," which, in a sense, is true enough as the Negroes’ labor is appreciated and wanted, which refers to what may be considered the low- lier occupations. Beyond this class of labor there is more or less frictlon; and not only is there conflict, but positive pro- hibition sometimes. In the interest of truth it should be so stated, for it may be believed that, if colored men were as generally em- ployed as white men, we would have de- velopments more rapidly, but for the better or worse? Who knows? But this cpposi- tion in some fields of labor is no excuse for the colored man. The “opposition was born of the ward condition, that dependence which need not exist, but will exist for some time owing to racial distrust, which is another truth that should not sleep too long. Every considerable community of Negroes at this day has a right to be doing what every considerable community of white people is doing. It is true that the white people enslaved the Negroes, but they also freed them; they paid the price and are still paying by contributing thousands of dollars toward their educational ,and industrial support. ‘These things are not tobe lost sight of ; they prove that the condition is not hope- less since the white race is also our bene- factor. “Lastly,” says he, “In order to solve this problem, the Negro must have the ‘same protection of the law as is guaranteed |the white man.” The doctor again speaks the truth, but he is not to be mistaken when he says those who commit the crime of rape must pay the penalty. Really there is no nec- essity for that crime and, when knowing the frightful consequences by law or mob force, the word rape should be very seldom heard. In conclusion he says: “Let the God fearing people of this coun- try, white and black, declare themselves against crime and give no quarter nor shelter to the violator of the law, and unite together in the solemn determination that the law shall be supreme, and then shali be heralded the reign of peace and se- curity.” Dr. Booker T. Washington expresses himself as particularly pleased with the very ‘ull and comprehensive report of the proceedings of the National Negro Busi- ness League syndicated for the colored press by Mr. R. W. Thompson of New Albany, Ind., and has sent a hearty letter of congratulation to the race’s premier cor- respondent because of his brilliant effort. ————_ ‘Thanks Returned.

W. TAYLOR, . -w HOWELL, MICH. ‘When writing mention this paper The Gentleman From Indiana By BOOTH TARKINGTON "The Lord be good to me!" he broke out, all his long pent passion of dreams rushing to his lips as the barrier fell. "Don't you see it is because I can't bear to let you go? I hoped to get away without saying it. I want to be alone. I want to be with myself and try to realize things. I didn't want to make a babbling idiot of myself, but I am. It is because I don't want another second of your sweetness to leave an added pain when you've gone. It is because I don't want to hear your voice again, to have it haunt me in the loneliness you will leave. But it's useless, useless, I shall hear it always, just as I shall always see your face, just as I have heard your voice and seen your face these seven years, ever since I first saw you, a child, at Winter Harbor. I forgot for awhile. I thought it was a girl I had made up of my own heart, but it was you all the time. The impression I thought nothing of then; just the merest touch on my heart, light as it was, grew and grew deeper till it was there forever. You've known me twenty-four hours, and I understand what you think of me for speaking to you like this. If I had known you for years and had waited and had the right to speak and keep your respect, what have I to offer you? I couldn't even take care of you if you went mad as I and listened. I've no excuse for this raving— Yes, I have." She made as if to speak again, but words refused her. After a moment, "Goodby," he said very steadily. "I thank you for the charity that has given me this little time—with you. It will always be—precious to me. I shall always be your servant." His steadiness did not carry him to the end of his sentence. "Goodby"— She started toward him and stopped. He did not see her. She answered nothing, but stretched out her hand to him and then let it fall quickly. "Goodby," he said again, "I shall go out the orchard gate. Please tell them good night for me. Won't you speak to me? Goodby!" He stood waiting, while the rising wind blew their garments about them. She leaned against the wall of the house. "Won't you say goodby and tell me you can forget my"— "No!" he cried wildly. "Since you don't forget it! I have spoiled what might have been a pleasant memory for you, and I know it. You are already troubled, and I have added, and you won't forget it, nor shall I—nor shall I. Don't say goodbye! I can say it adorably pathetic and seemed such a rich and lovely and sad and happy thing to have come into his life only to go out of it, and he was so full of the prophetic sense of loss of her, it seemed so much like losing everything, that he found too much to say to be able to say anything. He tried to speak and choked a little. A big drop of rain fell on his bare head. Neither of them noticed the weather or cared for it. They stood with the renewed blackness hanging like a drapery between them. "Can—can you tell me why you think you ought not to go?" he whispered finally with a great effort. "No; not now. But I know you would think I am right in wanting to stay. I know you would if you knew about it; but I can't, I can't. I must go in the morning." "I should always think you right," he answered in an unsteady tone, "always." He went over to the bench, fumbled about for his hat and picked it up. "Come," he said gently, "I am going now." She stood quite motionless for a full minute or longer; then, without a word, she moved toward the house. He went to her, with hands extended to find her, and his fingers touched her sleeve. Together and silently they found the garden path and followed its dim length. In the orchard he touched her sleeve again and led the way. As they came out behind the house she detained him. Stopping short, she shook his hand from her arm. She spoke in a breath, as if it were all one word. "Will you tell me why you go? It is not late. Why do you wish to leave me, when I shall not see you again?" He saw her in another second of lightning, a sudden, bright one. Her back was turned to him, and she had taken a few startled steps from him. "Ah," he cried, "you are glad enough now to see me go! I knew it. I wanted to spare myself that. I tried not to be a hysterical fool in your eyes." He turned aside, and his head fell on his breast. "God help me!" he said. "What will this place be to me now?" The breeze had risen. It gathered force. It was a chill wind, and there rose a walling on the prairie. Drops of rain began to fall. "You will not think a question implied in this," he said, more composed, but with an unhappy laugh at himself. "I believe you will not think me capable of asking you if you care"—"No," she answered, "I—I do not love you." "Ah, was it a question, after all? I—you read me better than I do, perhaps. But if I asked, I knew the answer." She did not speak. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER for both of us. God bless you, and goodby, goodby, goodby!" He crushed his hat down over his eyes and ran toward the orchard gate. For a moment lightning flashed repeatedly. She saw him go out the gate and disappear into sudden darkness. He ran through the field and came out on the road. Heaven and earth were revealed again for a dazzling white second. From horizon to horizon rolled clouds contorted like an illimitable field of inverted haystacks, and beneath them enormous volumes of bluish vapor were tumbling in the west, advancing eastward with shister swiftness. She ran to a little knoll at the corner of the house and saw him set his face to the storm. She cried aloud to him with all her strength and would have followed, but the wind took the words out of her mouth and drove her back, cowering, to the shelter of the house. Out on the road the lashing dust came stinging him like a thousand nettles. It smothered him and beat him so that he covered his face with his sleeve and fought into the storm shoulder foremost, dimly glad of its uproar, yet almost unconscious of it, keeping westward on his way to nowhere. West or east, north or south, it was all one to him. The few heavy drops that fell boiling into the dust ceased to come; the rain withheld while the wind kings rode on earth. On he went in spite of them. On and on, running blindly when he could run at all. At least the wind kings were company. He had been so long alone. There was no one who belonged to him or to whom he belonged. For a day his dreams had found in a girl's eyes the precious thing that is called home. Oh, the wild fancy! He laughed aloud. There was a startling answer—alance of fire hurled from the sky, flying the fields before his eyes, while crash on crash numbed his cars. With that A man in a hat is leaning on a fence with another man standing behind him. They are in a rural setting with trees and a road in the background. A man was leaning over the top rail and looking at him. his common sense awoke, and he looked about him. He was two miles from town. The nearest house was the Briscoes, far down the road. He knew the rain would come now. There was a big oak near him at the roadside, and he stepped under its sheltering branches and leaned against the great trunk, wiping the perspiration and dust from his face. A moment of stunned quiet had succeeded the peal of thunder. It was followed by several moments of incessant lightning that played along the road and the fields. From that intolerable brightness he turned his head and saw, standing against the fence, five feet away, a man, leaning over the top rail and looking at him. The same flash swept brilliantly before Helen's eyes as she crouched against the back steps of the brick house. It revealed a picture like a marine of big waves, the tossing tops of the orchard trees, for in that second the full fury of the storm was loosed, wind and rain and hail. It drove her against the kitchen door with cruel force. The latch lifted, the door blew open violently, and she struggled to close it in vain. The house seemed to rock. A candle flickered toward her from the inner doorway and was blown out. "Helen! Helen!" came Minnie's voice anxiously. "Is that you? We were coming to look for you. Did you get wet?" Mr. Willets threw his weight against the door and managed to close it. Then Minnie found her friend's hand and led her through the dark hall to the parlor, where the judge sat placidly reading by a student lap. Lige chuckled as they left the kitchen. "I guess you didn't try too hard to shut that door, Harkless," he said, and then when they came into the lighted room. "Why, where is Harkless?" he asked. "Didn't he come with us from the kitchen?" "No," answered Helen faintly. "He's gone." She sank upon the sofa and put her hand over her eyes as if to shade them from too sudden light. "Gone!" The judge dropped his book and sat staring across the table at the girl. "Gone! When?" "Ten minutes—five—half an hour—I don't know. Before the storm commenced." "Oh!" The old gentleman appeared to be reassured. "Probably he had work to do and wanted to get in before the rain." But Lige Willetts was turning pale. "Which way did he go? He didn't come around the house. We were out there till the storm broke." "He went by the orchard gate. When he got to the road he turned that way." She pointed to the west. "He must have been crazy!" exclaimed the judge. "What possessed the fellow?" "I couldn't stop him. I didn't know how." She looked at her three companions, slowly and with growing terror, from one face to another. Minnie's eyes were wide, and she had unconsciously grasped Lige's arm. The young man was staring straight before him. The judge got up and walked nervously back and forth. Helen rose to her feet and went toward the old man, her hands pressed to her bosom. "Ah," she cried out, "I had forgotten that! You don't think they—you don't think he"— "I know what I think," Lige broke in. "I think I'd ought to be hanged for letting him out of my sight. Maybe it's all right. Maybe he turned and started right back for town—and got there. But I had no business to leave him, and if I can I'll catch up with him yet." He went to the front door and, SPORT BY O. E. DUNCAN. BOBBY DOBBS WRITES FROM ENGLAND Houghton Le Spring, England. New Castle on Tyne, Sept. 1, 1904.

Monday night, for £110, which includes Mr. Lowes' purse of £60, and in order to get into shape he took up residence at his old quarters, Mr. Jack Wheatley's Jolly Farmers' Hotel, Houghton le-Spring, where is also located Bobby 1 JACK NELSON. Dobbs, matched with Jack Clancy for the 10st 41b championship. Nelson's bodily proportions when he first went into training were certainly alarming enough to any trainer, especially when it was recognized that the Newcastle boxer is a 9st 10lb rather than a 10st man. As a matter of fact three weeks ago Nelson was dead out of condition, and when we saw him this week no one could have recognized in him the bulky, puffed up fellow he then was. Dobbs, however, was undaunted with the task before him, and by judicious manipulation, for Nelson has his own little ways, he started him on a course of work which has produced a really marvelous change. Nelson, we reckon, was never in better shape than when he boxed Hook the second time, when he was under 10st., and knowing that he will come at a weight on Monday night first which is calculated to make him faster and at the same time fully maintain his strength, which has proved such a great factor in his contests. Concerning his chance of repeating his previous victory on Monday night, Nelson in no boastful mood remarked that what he had done before he theot he should do again, and seeing that he had not been so well for a long time he thought he would win. Whichever way the verdict goes, another hard and fast fight seems next door to a certainty, and there is not the slightest doubt but what both men are the soundest of trilers, which is a great thing to say. If Nelson gets beaten he cannot advance the excuse that he was beaten for the lack of training, for he has had three weeks of the best of preparations. Offers are being considered by Billy Pierce, the manager of Joe Walcott, for the services of the "black demon" in Seattle, Wash., and in Saginaw, Mich. In the former place they want Joe to meet either Billy Woods or Noah Brust, who is now boxing under the name of Tommy Ryan in the West. Billy Lavigne, the manager and matchmaker for the Seattle Club, made Pierce a proposition to take Walcott to that city immediately after the bout with Gans at San Franisco is decided. At Saginaw he is wanted to box the Dixie Kid, who got a questionable award over him in Colma, Cal., a few months ago. Pierce will likely accept both, as the offers made are substantial ones. --- Sensational racing. with a good through futile effort by Major Delmar to beat 2:03! interested a large crowd at Columbus, Ohio last Thursday.

Jack O'Brien knocked out Billy Stiff of Chicago in the second round of their twenty-round sparring exhibition last Friday night before the Eureka Athletic and Social club, at Baltimore, Md.

At the recent meeting of the Business Men's League one lesson was brought out that colored people should heed. That lesson is that industrial pursuits and not politics offers the best and surest means of advancement. Many persons would like to be in business but they lack the necessary capital. One of the best paying businesses and one that requires very little capital to begin with is the business of canvasser or agent. We know of one article that is bringing rich rewards to agents. We refer to Black-No-More, the celebrated preparation for changing the skin of the Negro. There is a gold mine right within the reach of any enterprising man or woman who is so fortunate as to secure the agency for Black-No-More in his or her locality. Colored people of refinement now find this preparation a necessity and it is only a question of time when all who so desire will possess a white complexion. OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN. The demands in all parts of this country, and in several foreign countries, for well trained men of our race in the direction of scientific and practical agriculture are so great that this institution is willing to offer exceptional advantages to young men who wish to come here and take either a regular or post graduate course in agriculture. We cannot begin to supply the demands that come to us for trained men in the direction of agriculture. The positions for which these trained men are wanted are those in most every case which pay high salaries. We wish to get hold of men who have received, as far as possible, a good education before coming here, and are ready to enter upon a thorough course of agricultural training.

Scientific men who have seen it believe that in a few years the production of heat by combustion will be a thing of the past, and that upon the invention, coal and wood will no longer be used for heating purposes. The invention is that of Charles S. L. Baker, and it has been demonstrated that it will produce heat enough to warm the largest building in St. Louis, in the coldest weather, without the use of coal or wood. The heat is produced by friction. When Baker first told his friends, a few months ago, that enough heat could be produced by friction to neat the St. Joseph courthouse on the coldest day of the winter, he was believed to be insane but Baker was far from being insane. He had been at work 20 years on a theory of his own that heat could be produced by friction. He made a small machine and had convinced himself that it could be done. Since then Baker has built a machine that produces enough heat by friction to warm one of the largest buildings in St Joseph. It has been installed in the basement of the First National Bank building and thousands of people have witnessed its wonderful work and have been forced to admit that he has solved the problem of heating without combustion. crops, Caddo County excels all others.

TITUTE, JEFFER THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Many scientific men and expert machinists have seen Baker's invention and unite in saying it is one of the most wonderful the world has ever seen. They predict that in the future it will be universally used to heat buildings, railroad coaches and street cars. It is Baker's claim that the machine will finally do away with combustion for all purposes, except possibly foundry furnaces and in other cases where great heat is required. For all ordinary heating purposes the machine he has invented will suffice. It is believed that the invention will be especially valuable to street railway companies and railroads. The machine can be operated by a gear from the axle of the car in which it is placed and the cars can be heated, it is calculated by those who have become interested, at about one-fourth of the cost of the present methods. The machine to heat by friction is not Baker's first invention. A short time ago he invented a device for giving signals on railroads, and it was sold to St. Joe capitalists. It will soon be put in use on one of the largest railroads in the country, it is said. Several months ago a company was formed at St. Joe to promote the invention of the Negro. This company is known as the Friction Heating company, and its members have, within a few days, closed a contract with Campbell, England & Co., of St. Louis, for the use of the machine The Southern white Baptists have proposed to contribute $15,000 to the missionary work of the Negro Baptists as a means of co-operation between them. The latter are considering the wisdom or non-wisdom of accepting the proposition. The Labor Day parade Monday, Sept. 5, of the Central Labor Union, a body of the colored organization of workers, is said to have been the best of its kind ever given in New Orleans, La. The unions, consisting of several thousand men, were well dressed, orderly and made a very neat showing. No disturbances marred the pleasures of the day.

About forty of the prominent colored cotton goods manufacturers of the South met at Atlanta, Ga. recently and organized under the name of the Southern Colored Cotton Goods Weasers' Association. F. E. Mooring, of Raleigh, N.C., was elected president and a committee was selected to further perfect the organization and to notify all manufacturers of this line of goods of the action of the meeting. This committee includes J. A. Smith of Bessemer City, N.C. C. W. Johnson, of Charlotte and B. S. Robertson, of Burlington, N.C. As a result of a strike at the N. Y., N. H. and Hartford R. R. Co freight yard, all the white men went out and about 150 colored are now employed, and are reported to be giving the best satisfaction and the officials say they are there to stay. More Negroes are now at work in Mississippi than ever before, and they are being better paid for their services. All of this talk about a Negro exodus from the Delta is nonsense pure and simple. --- Fity-four Negro women organized a washer women's union at Kansas City last week and obtained a charter from the American Federation of Labor. It is said to be the first union of its kind in the country. PENCILNIGS. By W. Milton Lewis, Indianapolis, Ind. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. President Roosevelt's letter of acceptance is a graphic picture of the individual. He has been designated as strenuous, and by common consent the term seems to go. He, perhaps, will not go down in history as "Roosevelt, the Strenuous," as "Peter the Great" or "Edward the Confessor," since such appellations do not seem to stick to rulers of Republics, and the reason is apparent enough. Mr. Roosevelt is not the hurtful strenuous man. His letter is indicative of that warmth and enthusiasm that sustains—yea begets life whether in the moral or natural world. His letter is ingenuous—delightfully frank with no ideas concealed; "he that runs may read" The President writes as Theodore Roosevelt, not allowing himself to be manacled by set form or style. His manner is that of the apparent abandon that marks the man of genius. He grows a trifle dramatic at times, but in a saving degree heightening the interest as he sweeps along from phase to phase. He has a penchant for driving toward the olimax, but does not always reach the "ollimacteric," supposedly in the interest of the conservatism expected of such papers; his letter is a study. The casual observer of the President's letter will be impressed with the somewhat Quixotic vigor in sustaining the policies of the government that are not contested. He insists that the opposing party has no cause, issues, or principles of moment to advocate, nor reasons on which to build hopes for succeeding the present administration. His utterances are somewhat jubilant as if from one who felt victory owing to well rendered services and meritorious activity which, as the rule, fashion their own reward. He wrote a readable letter, freed of the conventional; breathing full of that patriotism that marks the individual that put his country first; loving it as Richelieu loved France, considering her woes his woes, her glory his glory. If he be the State, then it is that glorified sense that higher patriotism where error sometimes becomes a virtue. His letter falls but little short of a panegyric—an apostrophe to the country's greatness even as Homer sang of Greece. He appealed to the general nation for a greater wealth of love and more humanity that the sometimes neglected may feel that they are not beyond the protecting acils of the laws, that the mutual regard be heightened among a people that fate has pitched together that the ends of the moral laws be not defeated, the unwritten mandates of higher civilization. The Negro is not forgotten in the appeal, and I say "appeal" advisedly, because the presidents of republics can do but little more in the way of the initiative—they can appeal or proclamate. In our condition of society what will we have? The Negroes, of whom the President was mindful, as contendants for greater freedom, have a just cause against the untoward conditions of to day, which conditions are contrary to the expectations of those immediately subsequent to the Civil War, those who wrote the Negro status in the statutes of the GOT $25,000 BY TAKING Dr Henrygoldsea w.

These things have been fairly abrogated in sections, mal administrations have set in and moun of the good results of the period of blood has become as naught. The mob reigns often from its throne of brutality with its machinations directed against the helpless blacks so often that the onlookers of other shores feel that we have an uninterrupted carnival of carnage. Yet one maltreated is too many; the least one is too great to be beyond the law's protection. The President has said so, and for which he deserves great credit for standing for all, regardless of any, when he stands the candidate for the greatest distinction on earth, rising above the presidency to Roosevelt THE MAN. The people are to be indicted for political disorders. The government reflects the will and sentiment of the majority; when the people are right the government is right. I, for one, am not inclined to look at this business on its face; there are conditions unexpected—unexpected quantities injected into the equation; antipodal racial, characteristics and many perplexities have arisen to impede and to retard the expected progress. A different education for the Negroes in the main has been instituted by men like Booker T. Washington. More sympathy, guidance and financial support is being expected from and is being given by the whites, who alone are able to offer financial support The President spoke at length on the situation, proving that his heart was in the matter. To expect more is not to understand the country, our form of government. Expediency is a thing in reforms, at least for the moment. The country can be educated in or out of its beliefs or customs, but the process is slow. The work can be aided by our own endeavor, never despairing until every Negro has subscribed to the greater principle which makes for civic righteousness and morality's ideality. WOMEN. This column heretefore has not been notable for the discussion of women, not that they were felt to be unworthy, but because the men have persistently held the boards; the congestion had to be worked off first. I hold it complimentary to the women that they are held in reserve for, according to nature and the works of man, the best is not generally first. In the novel, in the play, everywhere woman is anticipated and sooner or later she ushers in on the scene to bless or blight. But it may be set down to her credit that her mission is to bless, and she generally subscribes to the tenets of her calling and conducts her life accordingly. It is her place in society and she accepts it as if divinely appointed, or ordained from the beginning. Sometimes she becomes the abnormal, the social misfit, yet in that she attests her birthright by the frightful depravity to which she has descended, the recognition of the heights from which she fell; never, never to be attained again as she views it—bowing low her head at society's seeming unalterable decee. The unutterably lost, however, are the few. But if mankind were as lenient as Jesus Christ, the Savior of total mankind, there would need be no unredeemably lost. But why linger with the dead? The great majority lives in sight of the moral cross, blessing the world by living in it, throwing back hope extracted by the gross deeds of grosser man, becoming opposition poles establishing thereby that medium that militates in the interest of advancing human society. Horrid war, the anachronism, the fungus growth of the mouldy past, finds no advocate in women, and yet in the deadly breach and imminent peril, she is there to snatch from the altar of death war's awful sacrifices, nursing back to life with a mother's love and tenderness the hapless sons of strife. The Red Cross women—the salvage corps—deserve more praise than those that cause the necessity for the existence. The personal love of women is no small force in the human universe in shaping the destiny of men even unto God. Empires have been baited in their making by her interposition. Rome paused awhile, while Marc Antony, the splendid orator to the dead Caesar, slept in the arms of Egypt—Cleopatra. But it is not this mad infatuation that is the force for good; it simply typifies the power of womankind for good or evil. Such women as Queen Victoria, the saintlest queen that ever wore a diadem, will cancel Cleopatra. Queen Elizabeth, "Good Bess," omitting the one frightful act of acquiescing in the decapitation of that lovely, though capridulous sprite, Mary, Queen of Scots, was another Victoria. The poets sing of the more personal love, and who simply are the stars in the great ensemble whose voices are heard above the others in the grand chorus of "Love." Man is better for the affection even unto the stoic who also feels, but will not say—that woman's love that walks with man all the way—on sunlit plane or in the cavern's deep—the spiritual antidote for the soul's pains—the restorative of the spiritual equilibrium.

Lynching and burning to the stake will melt away as the snow from the mountain on a summer's day. I know law and order will come back again in the South and bridle the ignorant classes who are heaping curses upon the civilized, proud nation by their barbarous acts as it did at last to the lawless frontier. Let us hurry, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters, now is the time to show our skill and we have no time to lose. Let us wax together like the green bay tree and we will be a great gigantic trust, which will enable us to own and operate more banks, more steamships, more gold mines, more diamond mines, more real estate and more of everything that is essential to the life of the civilized people. What shall we do to own and operate these business enterprises? I will tell you in a few plain words the only sure method—let every woman, man, boy and girl in every city, town or village deposit $1 in your home bank, making it payable to Booker T. Washington or your own representative, asking him or her to use it to the mutual benefit to yourself and the race. I suggest Booker T. Washington because his untarnished reputation is widely known throughout this country and he has become a beacon light to the people, and we should never enter into any large business proposition without consulting him or our home representative. We should honor our ambitious business men and women and feel proud to know that scandal has not spun its dusky web around them as other nationalities. Read the news of 1619 and 1620 of the unlettered rustics forced to this country, his intellect confined to his five senses, he was not taught to think or read, but today we can gladly see that history contains no record of any race of people that has progressed like the Negro race since Abraham Lincoln issued that immortal document known as the emancipation proclamation. When we accomplish those tiny efforts hatred, prejudice and the press will cease to hiss before us like the serpent and our true friends who have the love of God instilled in their hearts who think no ill of anyone will unite love and happiness with much courage and honor. Let us all start at once and at the first of the year you will see the result and if you have not got the dollar write me and I will help you get it. Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters let these teaching be your theme. They have satisfied the brains of the wisest and the hearts of the best. ODELL GRAHAM 29 S. Wash., Ave. Minneapolis, Minn.
