THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XIX NUMBER 6 THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW BEREA COLLEGE CONTROVERSY UP BEFORE THE COURTS J. G. CARLISLE FOR DEFENSE Fine Points of Law Brought Out— Fashionable Church Scene of Episode.—Fortune's Manly Courage.—Present for Alice Roosevelt. Staff Correspondence. The case at issue was such an unusual one for Kentucky, and more unusual for a man of Mr. Carlisle's political antecedents, social connections and racial identification to plead, that the masses of both races were all agog to see how he could argue for mixed schools and "square" himself with local prejudices, the intensity of which no man in the land knew better than he. But Mr. Carlisle was equal to the emergency. So adroit and tactful was he in handling the most delicate phases of the unpopular side of the question that criticism was completely disarmed, and there is no evidence that he suffered any diminution of respect at the hands of the most rabid Negro-haters of the district affected. All listened, spell-bound, to his powerful presentation of the law and the facts. The learned counselor dwelt very tightly upon the sentimental and altruistic aspect, and went deeply into the principles underlying our republican form of government, basing the burden of his plea upon the conflict of the Day law with that clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution which forbids the enactment of any law by any State abridging the rights, privileges or immunities of any citizen, holding that in this instance Berea College, as a finite corporation, stood in the position of an individual, and was consequently entitled to the right to govern itself as it chose, within the limits prescribed for persons and their natural privileges. He disclaimed the prevalent notion that the discriminations practiced by railroads and other schools, with State sanction, offered a parallel or precedent, arguing that while the State may legally insist that transportation lines operating under a State franchise shall make separate—and equal—provision for white and colored passengers, and it may at will take the same liberty as to the attendance of students of opposite races in the public schools, maintained by public tax, and in colleges sustained from the general fund, but such a prerogative did not and could not apply to Berea, because, as a private concern, supported wholly by private resources, it became, to all intents and purposes, a private individual or citizen, with all the rights, privileges and immunities thereunto appertaining, and without the reach of the authority of the State, except with reference to the preservation of peace and order. As a private institution Berea was not amenable to any statutory restrictions that could not be enforced against any private citizen. Its rights to regulate its own associations and to mix its students, if it saw fit, was a personal privilege with which the State could not legally interfere. Therefore, he pleaded that the Day law, assuming to enforce the separation of the races at Berea, was an invasion of the inattainable right inhering in a citizen by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment, and was clearly unconstitutional. The decision of the court has not been handed down at this writing, but the result may have become public ere this reaches the public eye. Whether the court will have the moral courage to stand up for an honest interpretation of the Federal Constitution, against the pressure of local sentiment, remains to be seen. Mr. Carlisle's position is unquestionably sound, and nothing but recourse to a cowardly technicality on the part of the prosecution can prevent the colored students of Berea from regaining their former footing at the historic institution, from which so many able men and women have gone out to battle for a higher and sweeter civilization beneath our common flag. Should the decision of the Kentucky court be adverse to the contention of President Frost and the Day law be upheld, it is understood that the authorities of Berea will immediately take steps to carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. One of the very ablest and most conscientious writers and journalists of the younger school in this country is Carey B. Lewis, of Louisville, Ky. He is a graduate of the Central High School of the Falls City, and has had as his instructors some of the foremost educators of the progressive Middle West. During the past few years Mr. Lewis has been doing some gilt-edged work for The Freeman, The New York Age and leading Caucasian newspapers in Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri. He is in close touch with the influential white citizens of Louisville, and has always proven capable and willing to exert himself to advance any movement looking to the uplift of the Afro-American people of the Nation. He believes in "doing things," and doing them at once, in a most thorough manner. Mr. Lewis was largely instrumental in freezing out "The Clansman" last month, in Louisville, through strong articles prepared by him and published in the local Caucasiol press, protesting against the production of Tom Dixon's vile exhibition, and went in person to the Mayor, members of the City Council, Board of Education, and placed in their hands, at his own expense, copies of Prof. Kelly Miller's magnificent reply to Dixon's strictures against the race, entitled "As to the Leopard's Spots." Mr. Lewis is especially interested in the work of the National Afro-American Council, the National Negro Business League and Tuskegee Institute, and is a stance supporter of Bishop Walters, Dr. Washington, Dr. Jordan, Mr. Steward and others who are leading the people to higher and better things. Not long ago he was appointed vice-director of the Newpaper Bureau of the Council, for which he is eminently fitted, and it is likely that he will go in this capacity to the Council's conference at Washington on the 15th, to the Tuske THE | CHALLENGER. INDIANAPOLIS FEB 10 1906 PUBLIC LIBRARY POLITICAL COMMITTEE OF AWARD NEGNO POSSIBILITIES FILMWOOD CARNEGIE, THE FOUNDATION OF REALITY The Rev. Mr. Dixon's attack upon the future possibilities of the Negro will no doubt be of little consequence to his fame aspiring frame. gee Farmers' Conference at Tuskegee on the 21st, and to the Business League meet at Atlanta in August. The first of a series of meetings to advance the plan of campaign inaugurated by Congressmen Keifer and Crumpacker to arouse public sentiment in favor of a rigid investigation of suffrage abuses in the South, was held last Thursday evening at Cooper Union, in New York. Impassioned addresses were made by Gen. J. Warren Keifer, Prof. Kelley Miller, ex-Congressman George H. White, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, A. B. Humphrey and others. Hoots and hisses greeted every mention of Ben Tillman, Gov. Vardaman, Thomas Dixon, Jr., and F. Hopkinson Smith. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Constitution League, and the 3,000 enthusiastic people present remained until the "wee sma' hours" of morning, listening intently to the fiery invective and flood or indignant protest hurled at the heads of the Negro's most blatant foes. Mr. John E. Milholland presided, and most generously paid the expenses of the gathering, as an earnest of his deep interest in the welfare of the Negro. Mrs. Terrell's speech was a scathing arraignment of the lecherous scoundrels of the South who have preyed upon the weak and helpless colored women, and then sent abroad the damnable lie that Negro virtue means. Her eloquent defense women have no conception of what of her sex stirred the audience to a high pitch, and the presiding officer was compelled by the surging tide of enthusiasm to extend her time. Prof. Miller thus anathematized the author of "The Leopard's Spots" and "The Clansman": "Now comes Thomas Dixon, Jr," said he, "that frenzied apostle of an evil propaganda, who would deprive the Negro of his rights by holding up the grotesque and repugnant side of his life with hideous portrayal. This shameless apostate priest of God, with undisguised daring, is doing the work of the devil. With Satanic glee he stirs the fire of race wrath and influences the passions of men." Mass meetings of a similar character are to be held in Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore and Chicago. Reduction of representation, at which Congressmen Keifer and Crumpacker aim, is not the solution of the problem as viewed by the patriotic Negro, who wants nothing short of an enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment, and is but a vague and distant possibility, to be resorted to when all other means of redress fail. But, however, if out of the disclosures of Southern infamy there comes an irresistible demand for a reform of the present outrageous conditions, these gatherers will no have been projected in vain. There must be among all peoples a dynamic force that destroys obstacles to progress and a static force that conserves that which is gained. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune was the hero of an exciting episode which occurred at Dr. Madison C. Peters' fashionable Baptist Church of the Epiphany, in New York. The pastor had issued invitations to a number of prominent Afro-Americans of the city to attend a service, at which was to be discussed the question, "What Shall We Do with the Negro?" Thomas Dixon, Jr., to the surprise of many, was there as principal speaker, but whites and blacks, unabashed by his presence, condemned his venomous sophistry without stint. His only support came from a clique of Southerners, who tried to break the disastrous fall given by such eminent thinkers as Dr. R. S. MacArthur, Revs. Granville Hunt, M. W. Gilbert, C. S. Morris and Mr. Fortune. The sensational incident in which the plucky editor of the New York Age so advantageously figured is thus dramatically described in the news columns of his paper: "It must be remembered that our men were permitted only five minutes PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY-SIX MONTHS, 85c; ONE YEAR @1.50. each in which to speak. The Rev. E. E. Jackson, of the Zion Baptist Church, however, found five minutes long enough to make an ass of himself. After speaking, he exclaimed in a burst of foolish magnanimity, "After all, we are brothers!" and extended his hand to Dixon, who shook it with gingerly condescension. This gave Mr. Fortune, who happened to be present, his cue, and he arose to speak. He proceeded to denounce Jackson for his servility, and then, turning to Dixon, said, trembling with suppressed emotion: "I wouldn't shake hands with you! I class you among the vilest and most odious of Americans, with Tillman, Vardaman and Jeff Davis. And you," continued he, turning to the audience, "I am surprised that you whose fathers and brothers and sons died in the civil war to perpetuate the Union, should give your applause to a man like this, whose ancestors fought to destroy the Union, and that applause at the expense of loyal citizens who shed their blood for the country in all its wars. Further, replying to Dixon's plea for the peaceable deportation of the Negro to Africa, "you can't colonize me peaceably. This is my home, and there will be a fight before you move me!" These strenuous remarks were greeted with tumultuous applause, and it was several minutes before order could be restored. Policemen were stationed in the church, and their services were drawn upon more than once to quell incipient demonstrations. The meeting was not without results. Dixon's notoriety may be making him money, but it is certainly not adding to his peace of mind. And, as the Age puts it, "The Northern people and the Afro-Americans, drawn closer by Dixon's propaganda, were fraternizing in the audience as never before. Thus is good brought out of evil." ir. Fortune's manly courage, in (CONJUGED FOURTH PAGE.) INFLUENCE OF GODLESS MEN MAKES CHURCH POWERLESS THAT "OMNIOUS INDIFFERENCE" Bishop Smith a Victim.-The Gang Supported.-Bishop Shaffer and Lee Lack in Courage.-Cases Cited.-The "Shouting Bishop." Editor Johnson of the Christian Endeavor, Jan. 25th says: "It is only in place to demur at the ominous and painful indifference of those who have it largely in their power to remedy the evils alluded to." Of course he refers to the bishops of the A. M. E. church. "Ominous indifference;" yes, this is just what I accuse them of. They know full well that the church is growing powerless, through the blighting influence of a lot of Godless ministers, who drink whiskey, destroy virtue, play the races, loot churches, forge notes, give worthless checks to the dollar money committee to support big reports, etc., etc. And yet, with all this knowledge before them, they are so very indifferent that the men who do these things are never punished, or even lowered in their assignments. When the Bishops' Council met in Mobile, Ala., the January before the last general conference, they had before them a letter, written by an elder in good standing, informing them that in one city were stationedfew that in one city there were stationed in the three principal A. M. E. churches two drunkards and a basely immoral man, who had been proven guilty of adultery. The writer stated further that he was ready to furnish the evidence to any committee which the council might appoint to investigate his statements. He not only wrote this letter to the council, but to each of the bishops previous to the session. Now, I admit at once that, technically, the council had no authority in the case, since each bishop is supreme in his own district. But the same council did appoint a bishop to go to New Orleans to look into affairs there, where Bishop Smith was losing some members, who insisted on having a drunkard for their pastor. Bishop Smith had done just what any Christian bishop should have done and the council thought it awful because he would lose a few members by such action. But this accusation against three pastors in one city was so small a matter that they paid no attention to it. When two of the bishops were accosted about it they said that the majority of the bishops would not stand by the prosecution of those men, and it would not be worth while to undertake it. Each of those men were subsequently transferred to as good appointments as the church contains. On the other hand, Bishop Smith's fight against drunkards and graffers in Louisiana made him the target of all the malice of that same class of men in the general conference, encouraged by certain shouting bishops, and was the real root of the great fight made upon that prelate at Chicago. The gigantic effort to disrobe Bishop Smith, and which did send him to South Africa, and has not let up on him even there, simply serves notice to every bishop who may think of punishing one of the prominent rascals who disgrace many of our pulpits, that they will have the whole gang to fight if they dare to begin, and that the majority of bishops will stand with the gang. Many will be surprised at these words, which indirectly endorse Bishop Smith, but the time has come when the truth must be told on friend and foe alike. I never was friendly to the election of Bishop Smith, and I openly opposed his assignment to Louisiana, where I was then stationed. My reasons were honest and my fight was honorable. Personally he and I could not agree while associated together there, nor do we agree now. He condemns my manner of trying to reform the church. But whatever were my objections to his election, I am happy to say that my intimate association with him for the last six years have not supported my fears about him. In all that I have never had reason to doubt his moral or religious character. I believe that by the grace of God he has triumphed over the faults which once threatened his usefulness, and I am certain that no man on the bench has a stronger desire to set the church right than (Continued on Fourth Page.) yin, THE=— aS sal Gi me (ul Om WS Sy (7 WORLD.) iM SS pare 1S ai iy sre We BY “DOROTHY.” ‘This column is devoted to the interests of Wrnth Hopartment: The Freeman, Indie Bapolis, Inde : Be not anxious about tomorrow.

Food For The Growing Child Whole-Grain Preparation Declared of Greatest Value In Development of Body and Mind. "The growing child especially needs those elements that are found in whole grain preparations," says the writer of a recent magazine article on "The Best Foods for Growing Children" Malta Vita is the perfect whole wheat food, rich in every nutritive element demanded by the body of the child and just as healthful and strengthening for the child's parents and older sisters and brothers. Being a pure grain product—simply the whole of the best white wheat and a little salt, mixed with pure barley malt extract—Malta Vita supplies the body with all those food elements which make bone, blood, muscle and brain and bring perfect health. The malt extract is added after the wheat has been thoroughly cooked and steamed and converts the s arch of the wheat into maltose, or malt sugar, which is highly nutritious and easily assimilated even by very weak stomachs. Physicians recommend maltose for its strength giving qualities and Malta-Vita is rich in it. After being treated with the malt extract, the wheat, rolled into little wafer flakes goes to the ovens, where it is baked crisp and brown, delicious beyond description. All grocers, now 10 cents.

Before the Santo Domingo factionists take partners for the next revolution it behooves Dr. James E Shepard to "get busy" with his application papers for United States Minister at Puerto Plata. If any of the anonymous sand-baggers who are after Dr. E. W. Lampton want to be treated to a bird's-eye view of a first class "scrap" let them tackle Methodism's greatest financial secretary in the open. That emphatic statement that Booker T. Washington is endorsing nobody for office was a body-blow to the fellows who have been ringing the changes early and late on his alleged pernicious activity as a patronage broker. We were not able to land the A. M. E. General Conference at Washington, but it is consoling to realize that Norfolk isn't so awfully far away, and it is splendid neutral ground. Anyhow, it's lots nearer the capital than Atlanta. President Roosevelt is the party to blame when an aspiring office seeker fails to land what he wants—not the man from Tuskegee. Few will attempt to claim that the chief executive isn't able to bear all the burdens that belong to him. We have had no intimation that Rev. T Wellington Henderson is finding any additional handkerchiefs necessary to wipe away the briny tears occasioned by the sudden transfer of Presiding Elder S. Timothy Tice to the "Land of Flowers." Arohibald H Grimke, Prof. H. T Kealing and Dr. W. V. Tunnell are the latest entries to Howard University's presidential 'free for-all.' Each of the trio is a thoroughbred, a fine intellectual roadster and has plenty of executive "bottom." If you have forgotten any shady transaction in which you may have unfortunately figured a quarter of a century ago just enter the Register of the Treasury handicap and your mind will be refreshed by the charges that will be filed against you. If you detect any able-bodied colored politician poring over the pages of a Spanish grammar he is not planning to enter college. He is simply a candidate for a South American consulate, and is trying to live up to the new linguistic requirements insisted upon by the State Department. The safe and sane Christian Recorder has nothing to say in favor of the special African Bishop nonsense, nor has Editor Johnson an atom of patience with the aspirations of the bumptious individual who hopes so strangely to profit by the promotion of that ominously devised scheme. Dr. George C. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion, says the Negro newspaper is read by the white people of the country with more care than most of us imagine. If any pessimistic journalist thinks otherwise, let him just publish a small paragraph upholding something the white people regard as incendiary or revolutionary and watch developments.

Entered at the postoffice at Indianapolis, Indiana, as second class matter. All matter should be addressed to The Freeman Publishing Company, 'INDIANAPOLIS, - INDIANA. SATURDAY, FEB. 10, 1906. A BLUNDER The front page of our last week's issue bore the date February 27, 1906. "January" was changed to "February," but for some reason unknown to the jury that "27" was left untouched. THAT "MISTER." A Southerner who was at one time expressing his admiration of Booker T. Washington remarked: "Why, sometimes when I meet him it is all I can do to keep from calling him mister." A man once called at a business establishment in the South and asked if Mr. Smith, a colored man, was employed there. "No!" came the indignant reply. "There is no Mister Smith working here! Sam works here—Sam Smith!" Another case came to our notice recently. A letter written by a man in Dallas, Texas, and published in one of the daily papers of this city criticising some of its utterances which did not suit Southern sentiment. The writer stated that he was at a loss to know whether or not he should address the editor as "mister," for, he said, "he did not know whether he was black or white." To begin, we should feel thankful for the ignorance of the average Southerner that makes him believe that "black men" in the North are likely to be found editing metropolitan dailies, but it is this "mister" of which we wish to write. It is an unwritten law with the Southern white man that he must never so far forget himself as to call a colored man "Mister." To do so he thinks would be elevating him above his deserts; that by so doing he would confer an honor on the son of Ham, and he asks that the Fates forbid that he ever do such a thing. Besides the other injury done by such forgetfulness is the one it would do the black man himself by "turning his head." We confess that every time this matter is brought to our notice, as in the cases cited above, we are amused and cannot suppress a smile which is sometimes audible. The folly of the thing itself, coupled with the seriousness of the victim who imagines he is hurting or honoring some one by calling them "Mister" is the amusing feature of it. It never seems to occur to these people that in humoring this whim the colored man neither takes it seriously or is in the least affected by it. What these people do not understand is that such things are powerless in determining the degree of a man's manliness; that what he is, he is, in spite of the wish to have him appear as more or less; that if he is a man, in the higher sense of the word, they cannot rob him of that quality by refusing to call him Mister; and if he is not a man they cannot make him so by calling him "Mister." Nor does this practice in the Southerner come from his lofty conception of the term as is shown by the fact that they use the term when speaking of all grades of men provided they be white men. So they may be allowed without protest to follow a custom made up of a combination of ignorance and arrogance for it does no one harm except those who think they are injuring others. MINERS' CONVENTION ENDS. MINERS' CONVENTION ENDS. The great convention of Mine Workers has come to an end. So has the joint conference of operators and mine workers. The most important fact to the public that has come out of these meetings is the disagreement of the conference and the consequent decision of the miners to go on a general strike April 1. Our opinions of the actions of others is very likely to be determined by the effect of that action on ourselves. For this rea- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER son the sympathy of many will not be with the miners because a strike will mean higher prices for coal. It is because of this lack of general sympathy that has reduced the worker to his present condition. We sympathize only with such action as helps the particular group of which we are a part. This works somewhat like the Democratic idea of tariff reform. Each Democrat favors free trade in all products except those produced in his own district. When the round is completed they occupy the same ground as do the "stand patters." The only way to "reform is to "reform." The only way to help any workers whom we believe to be getting less than a just share of the product of their labor is to sympathize with all who get less than a just share of their product. It is for this reason that we hope to see the miners secure better condition under which to work and a larger share of the wealth they create. If this sympathy means that we pay a higher price for coal for a time we are willing to do it. It is better that we be wronged for a time than that the miners be wronged for all time. It seems to us that the principal item in the cost of a ton of anthracite coal should be the transportation and that the next item of cost should be the mining. When the conditions under which the digging is done and the hazards attending it are taken into account it does seem that 78 cents per ton is less than a just share of the large price paid by the consumer. The price of coal may be advanced ever so much, as it has been done frequently, without in the least benefitting the miner. Prosperity brings no advance to him. So, during these prosperous days he has worked on year after year at the same fixed price for his labor. We believe they are entitled to a larger share of the product of their labor and if the strike comes we hope they win better conditions and better prices. NATIONAL FEDERATION OF CIVIC RIGHTS. An organization has been set on foot as a corporation in the State of Indiana under the above name. It is not organized for pecuniary profit, but for the advancement and betterment of the condition of the colored race. It has addressed a petition full of good sense and sound reasoning to the Senate and House of Representatives. The spirit of the petition can be judged from this paragraph: But of what avail are the mandates of the Constitution when a colored person is accused of a heinous crime? He is hunted by bloodhounds; he is seized by a brutal and blood thirsty mob, and whether guilty or innocent he is tortured and murdered. There is for him no legal presentment or trial. There is no learned and upright judge to declare the law as between the accused and the prosecution. There is no impartial jury of the STATE or District to hear the case. The poor wretch, however innocent he may be, has no chance to procure witnesses in his favor and the assistance of counsel is denied to him. The mere accusation of a foul crime is the trial. The accusing members of the mob constitute both the Judge and the Jury and under the guise of punishers of a criminal, they become the murders of the fortunate man, who by mob violence is debarred of friends, of witnesses, of counsel, of the right of trial by Jury and mercilessly subjected to mutilation, torture and death. The board of directors consists of Judge John H. Stotsenburg, president; Dr. Wm. O. Vance, secretary. A clipping informs us that "the colored people of Massachusetts are up in arms against the appropriation of any State funds" for the Jamestown Exposition unless assurances are given that the colored people from that State will not be subjected to humiliation and discrimination. A committee has been appointed and active work is being done. This move is all right. It is well enough to let it be known that we are not indifferent to decent treatment. A committee has been appointed consisting of Rev. W. H. Scott, J. A. Crawford and W. H. Trotter and has been given the promise of an early hearing before the State Senate Committee. The move is a good one, but we have our doubts about any good effect being produced on the F. F. V's. The Vindicator seems to take a very superficial view of the objections Rev. D. P. Pruitt of Muskogee urges against statehood for Indian Territory. We believe that the prediction of Rev. Pruitt, viz., that under statehood the colored people of the Territory would be disfranchised and put in a worse condition than at present will prove to be true. It is useless to state that such a result would be a "reflection upon the manhood and intelligence of the Negroes of Indian Territory." If Southern white men took manhood and intelligence into account when treating with the Negro it would be an entirely different matter. The editor of the Vindicator must have been doing the Rip Van Winkle act for the past twenty years. --- The church is the conservator of the community of which it is a part. It is the leaven that ought to work for righteousness. In a very large measure the Negro church is the social, literary and moral center of a Negro community. And so it is very necessary that it keep its garments clean, and that it stands for all that is pure and good and true and uplifting. It cannot do this, if its leaders are themselves corrupt and its teachers vile and unprincipled. --- The church does not influence people as it should. It does not always stand for purity, and sobriety, and honesty, and common sense. I mentioned week before last the manner in which it received and made converts. The fact of an ever present God is forgotten. The fact of a God influencing every day life is not emphasized. The life, the ideal life to be lived now is minimized in the thought of a heaven hereafter, and that heaven is always a place of ease and quiet, where white-robed beings will sweep along golden streets. The heaven of the now, the heaven on earth—who teaches such a conception? And so, little regard is given by the church to the real life of its members, and to the standard of life which it holds up. Men may be dishonest, they may be liars, they may be libulit and aye, they may stand in the pulpit and point the way to a heaven while their own feet are treading the paths of hell, and the church says never a word in condemnation and stuilifies itself in the effort to shield these libels on her good name. --- I am glad to notice that Dr. Graham is doing good work in calling the attention of the great A. M. E. brotherhood to its delinquencies along this line. One need not remember very far back to recall two instances, in our own city, where two prominent ministers were transferred because their corrupt lives had gotten them into trouble. They were punished by the church authorities by being given larger appointments. --- And right now, what have we in our midst? A large and prominent church trying to shield its pastor from his wrong doing! Some time ago their minister took The Clansman has come and gone and the city still stands. It created no fuss and no flurry. Without a single exception the papers "roasted" It and declared that the play had no excuse for its existence. Another paper called it so cheap an attempt to stir ill feeling that colored people should feel no concern about it. As a failure it is a great success. As an attempt to stir up race feeling it was a complete failure here. Congressman McKinley of California in attempting to justify our acquisition of the Philippines said: "And so it became imperatively necessary that the United States should rise to the measure of its responsibility and protect that civilization, and she rose to that necessity, and the islands are ours to-day." This is just about the sort of logic on which act rests. The Plague Spots of which The Freeman spoke did not include decently managed clubs composed of respectable men. Our reference was to the other kind located on "The Avenue." The principal pastime of such places is drinking and gambling interspersed with loud and vulgar language. It is not our opinion that all clubs are guilty of such conduct. The Freeman has no objection to the "Broad Ax" clipping its articles entire, headlines and all, but it does seem that anything "broad" should be broad enough to give proper credit. Otherwise the "Broad Ax" should change its name to hatchet or tomahawk. When a man dedicates his life to dollar-getting he makes of himself a sort of human tumble-bug. There is this difference between the real tumble-bug and the human tumble-bug—the first one knows when the ball he is rolling is big enough, but the other one don't. Another banker has gone to join the Indiana colony at the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Let the good work go on. Arrogance and greed are twin devils that produce the most of human misery. WHERE LIES THE BLAME? WHERE LIES THE BLAME? (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) he. More than that, he has the moral courage to do his duty when he sees it. That is the reason why the corruptionists, on and off the bench, are a hurried and enforced vacation. For the second time he was charged with ruining the life of a young girl. And now his church, boasting of its large membership and its good work, because of its holy ghost religion, is preparing to receive him back and forgive him. What was done the first time? Nothing. He was "our boy," now that "papa" was gone, and the hard working washer-women poured their money at his feet, and the austere deacons said that it was only human nature. What a travesty on the Pure and Divine One and the religion which he taught and practiced. Is it not a wonder that He does not come from His throne, and with his drives these whited sepulchers from His temple. --- And the wronged one, what of her, also, the pity of it all? She must go through life with the scarlet letter dangling over her bosom. She must meet the finger of scorn, and the smile of derision because she entrapped our pastor. --- May I refresh your memories once again. It has not been many months since the pastor of another large Negro church of this city took a ride through our beautiful streets. He rode in the Patrol Wagon to the Police Station. Corrupt, wicked, shameless, guilty—he was all that. But the brethren hushed up the matter and secured his release. And to-day he is a "D. D." and a rising minister in his denomination. The church must protect herself. She need not expect any one else to do it. She need not expect the non-church going man or woman to respect her. She does not merit the respect of any right-thinking man so long as she tolerates those who defame her character and besmirch her good name. Is the church airaid? Does it fear publicity? These matters are always public. People are not fooled for a very long time. The church is the sinner, and must herself repent before she can call upon the world to repent. She must repudiate these foul leaders and immoral ministers. Let them be pillored by her awakened judgment, hounded by her outraged conscience and ostracized by her righteous anger. THE SPECTATOR trying so hard to kill him. He is a dangerous man to that class. Now, there is Bishop Lee, a man against whose private life not a breath of suspicion has even been whispered, a man of giant intellect and strong personality. Some of us thought that he would be the man around whom we could rally to make a fight for reform. Since the last general conference a personal letter was written to him by an honorable elder in the church, praying him to take hold of the situation and try to set in motion the renovation which would seve the church. But he did not have the moral courage to make the first move, not even to reply to the brother's letter. There is Bishop Schaffer, a man of excellent character and great ability. When he was assigned to the Fourth Episcopal district we all looked to see a great cleaning out of the vile heritage left him by the shouting bishop. But again we were doomed to disappointment. He has gone right on appointing and transferring men to fine churches whom he knows to be drunkards and adulterers, men who will give worthless checks to pay off their big dollar money. He also has been personally appealed to to save the church and the race from the disgrace which certain of his preachers were bringing upon us, but he could not, or was afraid to do anything. Possibly it was because these rascals are proteges of other bishops longer on the bench than he. And now the dispatches tell us that Bishop Derrick clears up the muddle about Phillip A. Hubert, who was arrested for raising money under false pretenses for Wilberforce. But unfortunately the bishop's clearing does not clarify very well. According to this dispatch the bishop authorized Hubert to raise $50,000.00 with which to "surprise" the authorities at Wilberforce. Well, who is this man to whom the bishop could intrust such a valuable secret and such large funds? Is not this the same Hubert who was once dismissed from the agency of Wilberforce on account of crooked dealing? Is not this the same Hubert whom the Iowa conference in 1902 refused to give missionary papers on account of complaints made against him for bad conduct, but whom Bishop Grant did subsequently give papers of authority, in spite of the action of the annual conference? Is not this the same Hubert who in the fall of 1904 was arrested in Lincoln, Neb. for rape, was tried, convicted and served time for the same? Certainly there was a Rev. P. A. Hubert who made such a record. Now what does Bishop Derrick mean by taking up this fellow and making him a special, secret agent for Wilberforce, and allowing him to run for eighteen months without making any report, or without the proper authorities knowing that he was collecting money for the school? Of course Hubert's word cannot be taken for anything; but the way the prosecuting attorney looked at this beautiful surprise led him to tell President Jones that he had better drop the prosecution, for he could not send Hubert to the pen without sending three of the highest dignitaries in the church to keep him company. To save the church the disgrace President Jones reluctantly accepted $400.00 from Hubert for Wilberforce and let him go. Remember, I am prepared to prove every statement I make. Remember also that all the bishops have treated me well, and hence I have no personal grievance against a single one. I am not fighting men, but I am fighting sin in high places. Information is pouring in upon me from every quarter showing how vice and iniquity are being fostered all through the church, and how little the authorities care for the laws of the church. I know that the conditions were awful before I began to write, but I see that I did not know nearly all. Here, for instance, is a letter from a prominent layman in the East, unfolding the sad state of affairs in the First district. The newspapers have given us plenty, but they have not given half the truth. No wonder there is rebellion and defiance of authority. What else can we expect from people who have enlightened consciences? They demand that the preachers and bishops practice what they preach, and when they see such flagrant departures from this rule, and that bishops do not require such things, they do not bow to the judgment of such men. And so Dr. Johnson says that there is an "ominous indifference" on the part of the bishops, and the public adds "an ominous silence." It is this very indifference that brings me to say that they are largely responsible, as the good doctor admits. They have gone on so long and become so tangled up with these bad men that they see no way to cut loose from them without condemning themselves. But this is just what they are called upon to do, confess their sins, whether of omission or of commission and make a new start in their episcopal life. They cannot regain the confidence of the public in any other way. A layman of the last two general conferences says that the only mistake I made in my first article was in saying that "the church would not last twenty-five years, in its present condition." He says that it will not last twelve years unless the bishops come down and make a new start. This is the only way to restore confidence. Will they have the moral courage to do it, or will they go blindly on as did the Russians against the Japs? In my next I will take up the flagrant misappropriations of the dollar money. D. A. GRAHAM, Detroit, Mich. THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW THOMPSON'S WEEKLY REVIEW (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE ) thus branding Tom Dixon to his face, in a vast public assembly, is the talk of New York, and the race ought to be proud of a son who never bites his tongue when the enemy needs a castigation. Whatever criticism Tom Fortune's opponents may lay at his door, not one has ever discounted his nerve in trying emergencies, they have never doubted his intense loyalty to his race, and they have never accused him of being a hypocrite. *** Prominent Washingtonians are endeavoring to set on foot a movement by which the colored people of the country may tender a suitable present to Miss Alice Roosevelt on the occasion of her wedding. Such a tribute would be highly appropriate, but prompt action will be necessary if anything is to come of the suggestion. The Niagara movement was incorporated last week in Washington. The incorporators were W. E. B. DuBois, William H. Richards and Lafayette M. Hershaw. The avowed objects of the Niagara Movement have been frequently exploited in the contemporary press, and are doubtless familiar to the public. --- The Negro loses the Bahia consular, ship, recently vacated by Dr. H. W, promoted to Minister to Hayti. The plum goes to Albert R. Morawets, of Arizona, who is said to be a Jew. For some unexplained reason, none of our men had any hankering to go to Bahia, even at $3,000 per annum. We could have retained the place without question, as it is stated that least three Afro-Americans were offered it, but all declined with thanks. When the Recordership or Register of the Treasury microbe gets into the black man's system, it is mighty hard to kill it off by the injection of a mere consulship—that spells exile from the social galeties of Washington.

Christ to hold open air meetings then it should not be beneath any pretended and assumed dignity we may profess to possess. Let some preachers who, during the hot months of the year, preach to but a corporal's guard go out into the open air and preach to the crowds. It is a fact that the best way to reach the masses is to go after them. But still that preacher who goes out upon the highway with a view of attracting the masses by howling like some wild beast we have heard in a circus, should not be given much attention. It is that preacher who talks to his hearers in a modest, neighborly like way that wins and attracts the masses. By preaching on the BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND RING To Be Given Away Absolutely Free. A novel and unique arithmetical contest has been inaugurated by the Authors Publishing Co. that is attracting general attention among business men, teachers, students and the public in general, and as a result in nearly every home whole families are busy engaged in working out four simple problems in arithmetico, these problems being called the Twentieth Century Ring THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS One book containing 240 pages, each page 5½ inches long and 4 1 inches wide, the other 312 pages, 6 inches long and 3½ inches wide. The cover of each book is one eighth of an inch wider and longer than the pages. How many such books will it require to extend a mike, placing the pages end to end. Ohio is 235 miles across from north to south and 198 miles across from east to west. Pennsylvania is 177 miles across from north to sut and 327 miles across from east to west, which is the largest and how many square miles of area in each. A bushel basket weighing 4½ pounds is filled with cats. Another weighing 3½ pounds is filled with corn on the shell. How many of each will it require to fill a wagon holding one ton? When it is 3 o'clock a.m. at Port Arthur, what hour is it at St. Louis, Mo? These problems are the most interesting and fascinating ever propounded, and hundreds are working on them already. To the person first sending in the correct answer to the four problems we will present a beautiful Two Hundred and Fifty Dollar Diamond ring (ladies or gentleman) with a genuine marcasue setting, and to the next five, in their order, a year's subscription to Munsev's Magazine. In sending in your answers it is absolutely necessary that you enclose 25 cents for a copy of Cadijah's book, "Turn On The Light," the most remarkable book published, and one which has attracted the attention of the press and public. Your answer must be received before midnight of February 17, and be addressed, with 25 cents in coin, to the Authore Publishing Co., Columbus, Ohio. A little effort may secure you the diamond ring. No answers considered if not accompanied by 25 cents in coin for Cadijah's book. Business men, teachers, scholars—everybody get busy. At the expiration of the contest the correct answers will be given in this paper. street corner many a poor, ignorant man, woman and child has been lifted into a better life that they probably would have never known nothing of had not some very thoughtful divine sought to preach in the open air. --- In this (New York) Age The Freeman is the (Ky.)

Calvary Baptist Church at Norwich, Conn., last November, and was the fourteenth pastor that the church has had during its existence of thirty-two years. They owe me considerable on back salary, and I said in my letter of resignation the following: "When you are ready to settle with me I will be prepared to turn over you all matters and properties in my post session belonging to the church." I have the matter now in the hands of a competent lawyer who will see that justice is done to one who served the church at a great personal sacrifice for five years and six months. Yours, etc., J.

A leading watch manufacturer, being hard pressed for ready cash, recently sold its $10,000 watches and actions. A few years ago, we could wholesale them to dealers for $1.90 or $1.80, but this would involve a great amount of labor, time and expense. In the end our profit would be little more than $0.00. We must entertain the commute at $6.45. The Evington Watch, which we offer at $6.45 is an im. Jewelers' tabulator, must suit its adjacent needs. It has specially selected jewels, dust band, patent regulator, information balance, and humidity engraved. Each watch is thoroughly timed, tested and regulated, before bearing the factory and both the case and movement are guarded. Genuine gold-lad, and handmade engraved. Clip out this advertisement and mail it to us to do with your day. If you want to buy a new watch, whether you want a lady's or a gentle's watch and we will send the watch to your express office at once. If it satisfies you, after a few days, you can buy it. If it doesn't please you, charges and the watch are paid, but if it doesn't please you A 26-Year Guarantee will be placed in the front case of the watch you send and to the first 10,000 customers we will send a free warranty.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Forty Years A Freeman The Freeman For the next Twelfemonth. We are told that we have a better publication for clean, concise and complete news of the race than any other newspaper in the country; better serious articles than any all-serious publication, and better timely articles than any other newspaper. We have the brightest and newest publication now extant, devoted to the best interests of all the Negro race. It contains the most important happenings concerning our people, Church Affairs, Woman's World, Race Gleanings, The Stage, The Field of Sport and Social and Society Happenings from everywhere. The Editorial Page has been made the equal of any of the Metropolitan papers of the country, if not better. The liveliest topics of the day will be put before our readers by that very admirable correspondent, Mr. Richard W. Thompson, who is considered to be one of the leading journalists of the day. Mr. Thompson is a staff writer of this paper, who writes on difficult subjects with such singular fairness that every one almost believes that his word "is law." Dr. M. A. Majors, whose "Major Melange" has scored a world of success in the many past years that it has appeared in this paper, will continue to brighten these columns with his very interesting lines. Some of our columns will also be devoted to the best interests of the Head, Second and Side Waiters. These columns will be purely an education to the up-to-date waiter of the day. The Woman's World, which has been so well recieved by our readers, will be a splendid feature in 1906. "Dorothy's" power as a writer of the womankind has become the equal of Mrs. Ello Wheeler Wilcox in mark of beauty. A woman who read an article in the proofs for the Woman's World, said: "Until now I never had any but a confused idea of what our women are doing and of what they could do to better their condition." The World of Sports will be well taken care of by Mr. John L. Footslug, who has been right in the midst of it for years. Every kind of sport known will appear in these columns. The Stage will come in for a great share of praise in the next twelve months. It will be prettily illustrated. Newsy letters of the stage from New York, Chicago and other cities will appear each week. The Freeman's Gallery, a newly added feature, will also appear. Brief reviews will be published from the pen of Messrs. Carle B. Cooke, Sylvester Russell and others. The Art Department will be well cared for by our able cartoonist, Mr. Garfield T. Haywood, who is at its head. Perhaps there are few young men who have gained more prominence than Mr. Haywood, through his remarkable talent as a cartoonist. This office has been deluged with letters praising his work. It is the intention of the management to steadily improve in the next twelve months, in our department of art. The "Top o' the Week" column, conducted by Mr. Charles Marshall, will continue to sparkle more than ever with bubbling wit and humor. He will constantly contribute for the benefit of the wise and the unwise Agents wanted everywhere. Men and women, boys and girls in every walk of life who want to earn good incomes by securing subscriptions for The Freeman—the paper for wide-awake race lovers—now at $1.50 per year. The work is dignified. The Freeman at any price would be value received. It requires no capital or previous experience There are two colored churches and two missions in Quincy, ill. The Baptist church is located at the corner of Eighth and Elm streets. It is a modern brick structure, of the very latest style of Gothic architecture, ornamented with a high steeple and is beautifully decorated inside. The audience room is on the second floor and entrance is gained by stairs on both sides of the vestibule. The lower room is used for lectures, dinners, socials, fairs, etc given to assist the church financially. The minister's private study is also on this floor. It contains a library and other conveniences for health and comfort. The membership numbers 400 There is a debt of $900, which is being paid as fast as the holder of the mortgage will accept the money. This church is valued at $10,000. Dr F. L Smith is the pastor. He is a broad minded race man; enjoys reading The Freeman and is ever ready to defend the rights of his race. He is a Missourian by birth; ordained in 1877; built Pilgrim Rest Baptist church at Keokuk, Ia. He completed the church at Columbia, Mo., which is said to be one of the finest in that state. During his pastoral work he has accepted a call to Canton and Paris, Mo., and to the Union Baptist church at Springfield Ill., which call he resigned to accept his present charge. Dr. Smith has filled nearly every office in the gift of his denomination and takes an active interest in every legitimate business enterprise among his race. He is the father of two sons and three daughters. All except one are graduates of high school and college. Bethel A. M E. church is near the corner of Ninth and Oak streets. It is a brick building and was recently enlarged. The windows are large ornamental patterns of the Mosalo enamel method showing the emblems of secret orders and were donated to the church by lodges of the city. The church is said to be worth $20,000. There are about 300 members with a debt of $800. Dr. W. H. Giles, the pastor is an Eastern man and did pastoral work in the East for a number of years. He was presid- The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. ing elder for four years in North Carolina and for nine years in New Jersey. In 1904 he was transferred to the Illinois conference and received his present charge. Dr. Giles is a writer and author of national reputation, a great organizer and financier and has built a number of churches and paid for them. He has three sons, who are taking courses at Howard University. Two sons and one daughter are residing with him in Quincy. The social and moral make up of the race can be easily described when it is known that Quincy is a fraternity on secret order town. Almost everybody belongs to some secret order. There is no well-defined line drawn between the first and second classes in society, yet there are many respectable colored citizens. The use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage seems to be one of the main hindrances and drawbacks to the spiritual and financial advancement of our people in this place. Beer is the drink most of them prefer. And any hour day or night the tin can bridge in "Happy Hollow" can be seen wending its way to the saloon. Men, women and children even little tots five or six years old can be seen "rushing the can." It is said that many of the members of both churches "rush the growler." We understand that nothing has been done by either of the churches in the way of an organized temperance effort like we see in other cities. And it probably will be many years before a perceptible change can be made to better the condition of our race in this direction. In the field of industry we find our brothers employed as laborers on the streets, about forty are employed as coachman. There are a number employed as junitors of buildings, sextons of churches, etc. The city street railway employs some and the paper mills, scrap-iron dealers and several other enterprises hire colored men. The hod-carriers have a union numbering fifty members. It was organized twelve years ago. Its members get twenty-five cents per hour for their work. J. Gillam is president. There seems to be a great demand for colored women IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS.... By JOHN L. FOOTSLUG. Jack Blackburn, an old Indianapolis boy, fought George Gunther, the Australian, to draw before the Newcastle, (Pa.), Athletic Club, January, 31. The coast papers unanimously demand a fight between Joe Gans and Jimmy Britt. Britt will either have to deliver the goods or lose all the reputation he has left. Terry McGovern says that his plans include the defeat of Battiling Nelson first and then the overthrow of Joe Gans. Terry talks very much like a "has been" champion. Robert Flitz-Simmons, according to report, is to locate in Chicago, where he has purchased a half interest in a hotel. It will be here after the boni. to work in private families. They usually get from $3.00 to 3 50 a week and for day work $1.00 or 10 cents per hour. Sergeant Wade Abbott, of Cottage 4 3. S Home has this to say about the colored inmates of the Home, "For sobriety and good deportment I find the colored soldiers the equal if not the superior of the white soldiers in my cottage. I find fewer reports for bad conduct among the colored soldiers than I do among the whites." The sergeant is a constant reader of The Freeman and is heartily in sympathy with the uplifting struggle of the race. In a recent article concerning Mr Chappel's property, the value should have been $1.000. The next article under this head will be "A Visit to Springfield Ill." GEORGE H. JONES. 1123 E.

Gans' share of the recent coast fight $2,452,200. He also bet $1,700 at odds of 10 to 7. So it can be seen that he cleaned up a neat sum. Gans has offered to wager $5,000 on the side that he can whip Jimmy Britt. Tom O'Rourke, on behalf of the Tuxedo Club, which is located just beyond Philadelphia has announced that he will offer a purse of $15 000 for a twenty round match between Joe Gans, who defeated Mike (Twin) Sullivan last week, and either Battling Nelson or Jimmy Britt, the fight to be for the lightweight championship of the world, both men to weigh in at 183 pounds. To induce Nelson or Britt to waive the color line, O Rourke announces that he will give Gans' opponent $1,000 as soon as he enters the ring. In selecting all Western Football Team E. C. Patterson in last week's Collier chooses Mr. Marshall, an Afro-American a member of the Minnesota team. In commenting upon his playing Mr. Patterson says, "Very few gains have been made around his end this year. He is quick in discerning a play powerful and sure as a tackler, and in carrying a ball made consistent gains." It is perhaps the first time that an Afro-American has been selected a member of that team. Walter Camp, the veteran football player of Yale also compliments the playing of Mr. Marshall. Prof. C. E. Hawk, one of the travelling representatives for The Freeman, is now in Tennessee in the interest of the work. Subscribe for The Freeman WHY NOT BE BEAUTIFUL? STOP! LISTEN!!

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED CGiORED NEWSpapry Sick Headache When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous sys- tem, centering in the brain. This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom- ach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epi- lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition “by taking Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pain by sooth- ing, strengthening and reliev- ing the tension upon the nerves —not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral,cocaine or similar drugs. “Sick headache 1s hereditary in my family.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ACTORS AND ACTRESSES CLUB. Communications expressing much interest in the organization of this club have been received from members of the profession and managers also. All are of the opinion that there is a great need of such an institution and are willing to give it their support. For they have felt the want of a real headquarters where they may meet for mutual benefit. The combined efforts of every man and woman in the profession is necessary to make it a success and the success of such a worthy cause will be the guerdon of all honest endeavor. So far New York is the most favored location for several good reasons. Suggestions have been given for raising funds by benefits and fees. Something tangible in plans as to who shall promote the benefits and the formation or appointment of a committee to further the interests in a business way are now in order. The actresses are also urged to offer some advice along the line as it is for their benefit as well. Mr. Walker, the promoter of the idea, in an article in the Variety of a recent date says, "The first step toward an understanding among any people is a gathering of those who map out the way for others to follow. In the minds of colored performers who are auxiliary to help and encourage people of their race, a place where colored professionals can meet and exchange thoughts is much needed." Let there be no delay in doing something that will help you in your chosen career. Memphis, Tenn., January, 31, '06. Mr. Elwood Knox, Dear Sir.—Your letter of recent date received, and in reply will say that I heartily endorse Mr. Walker's article, and I think that steps should be taken towards its beginning, as it will eventually have to come.

Living in New York is too dear. I might say Orange, N. J.; plenty of cheap property there and a ten trip ticket only costs a dollar, and the benefit to the health is worth more than the fare to and from New York.

My Dear Friend Elwood.—I have been so dreadfully busy of late getting ready to uncover "Abyssinla" on February 19, and you have not been thanked for the splendid notices you gave me before publishing my article and for publishing it so fully. The boys here in New York with whom I have discussed the subject of a Theatrical Club seem to be deepy interested. Please let me know how many and who have written in answer to your letters of search. Please push the matter as much as you can and I am sure you will lose nothing by so doing. I hope you are in the best of health and that all goes well with you, I am. Very Sincerely Yours. GEORGE W. WALKER. New York, January, 25, '06. Mr. Knox, Dear, Sir. - I received your letter some days ago regarding the Actors and Actresses Club. I think it is a very good idea, if it can be properly carried out. That is, get it in shape financially, and to do this, it would be necessary to first have a general secretary, which position you are now holding, then have a secretary in every company to collect fees from all who wish to become members. Then send receipt for money collected to general secretary and the money to the treasurer. This treasurer should be an actor who is reliable and can give real estate bond. The vaudeville performers' fees could be collected by the general secretary. No one should become a member without first paying their fees, and after these fees are collected, you can then go into business. I hope the idea will be carried out as it is a good one and I will do all in my power to assist in making it a success. Yours Respectfully, EDWARD MALLORY.
