Staff Correspondence. Theodore Roosevelt is the world's greatest constructive statesman! This has been clearly established by his masterly supervision of the vital issues that have been pending in the Congress that has just adjourned, and by the far-reaching results obtained by him in the way of legislation of vast benefit to the people. The railroad rate bill, the pure food bill, the meat inspection phase of the agricultural appropriation bill, the statehood bill, the immigration bill, employers' liability bill, reform of the consuar service—all enacted into salutary laws, leaning toward the masses, rather than to the favored classes—bear the marks of the executive's genius for true stewardship, and they well forever stand as monuments to his matchless administration. At no period since the foundation of this magnificent government of our have we had in the White House a man in whom the plain people have reposed so large a measure of confidence, irrespective of partisan considerations, as they in Mr. Roosevelt. Let him smash precedents if he will; let him ignore tradition, if it stands in the path of the popular welfare; let him exhaust the presidential preerogative as a promoter of remedial legislation, if he deems it necessary to fulfill the solemn pledges made by his party to those who conferred upon it the laurel of power. Let him follow the bent of his own patriotic, fearless, frank and expansive mind, and the people will follow him, will hild up his hands to the end of the chapter. They have done so in the past, they will continue to do so in the future. They believe in the honesty, the courage and the wisdom of President Roosevelt as they believe in no other man in public life today. He is trusted because his noble works have borne fruit. Of course, there are captious critics who express a fear that his energy in directing legislation may establish a dangerous precedent, and tend to obliterate the safety line between the functions of the executive and Congress. Even admitting that Mr. Roosevelt's influence has been felt only for good, they are apprehensive that the toleration of any encroachment of the White House upon the free action of the Capitol might some time be used by a bad president to work evil to the body politic. There is nothing in such talk, as far as healthy-minded Americans are concerned. The thoughtful citizen has a happy faculty of crossing bridges only as he comes to them, and when he perceives a president or anybody else overstepping the bounds of propriety in legislation or proclamation, to the detriment of the republic, it will not take long for public sentiment to get in its deadly work and head him off. Whatever the constitutional restrictions on the chief executive may be, the people hold the president responsible for the good or the evil that befalls the nation, and if he would live up to the expectations of those who gave him his commission, he need not do any cheese-paring as to functions or courtesies when the fundamental policies underlying his ad- ministration are at stake. In the parlance of the street, it is up to him to "make good." If anybody's toes have been trampled on while Theodore Roosevelt has been "making good" during this session of Congress, so much the worse for the toes that knew no better than to get in the way. With us, methods are mere means to an end. Results are what is wanted—and results we must have—or know the reason why. -x- To the Negro citizen the most satisfactory result that has come out of the first session of the 59th Congress is the rapid tendency toward centralization—the advanced ground taken toward a recognition of the power of the federal government to regulate much that has previously been guarded so jealously as an inalienable function of the state. We have always contended that this American republic is a nation—not a loosely-jointed consideration of independent principalities, beyond the reach or control of any central governing influence, to respect or ignore the national will at their pleasure. It is universally conceded that the one great weakness in our governmental fabric, since the adoption of our comprising constitution by the well-meaning founders of the republic, has been the absorb idolatry of the so-called "states' rights," in opposition to national sovereignty. A bloody war was fought to afinish on the subject, and the backwardness of the south to this day in taking on the prevailing prosperity of the country at large, is mainly due to its worship of this stuffed fetish of the past, and its practical refusal to accept the results of the terrible civil war, which sought to settle for all time, among other things, the pre-eminence, within certain reasonable limitations, of the nation over the state. We do not believe in "paternalism,"—we do not argue that the government should do all and be all. We do not suggest the relinquishment by the state of any inherent civic privilege now enjoyed, touching autonomy in affairs strictly local. But we do most emphatically believe that if any state is negligent of the constitutional rights of the people within its borders—if it permits them to be robbed of their natural heritage of protection in the courts of justice, if it connives with common carriers in denying to any particular class the equal accommodations to which they are entitled by virtue of the payment tendered, if it fails to preserve order and encourages the mobocrat to usurp the functions of the law, if it persistently and criminally sets aside the organic principles of a free government to gratify the venal populace, if it conspires to shield the scroundrels who deny to intelligent and property-owing citizens the privilege of participating in the selection of public servants, and winks at the unspeakable curs who despoil defenseless women without let or hindrance,—when a state is guilty of these sins of omission and commission, it is not only the right, but it is the bounden duty of the general government to step in, and exert the full strength of its army, navy and loyal citizenry to maintain the sacred doctrines laid down in our national Bill of Rights and to uphold the integrity of the Federal Constitution, both in letter and in spirit. The Negro has faith in the general government in the matter of enforcement of the law, but he has small confidence in the disposition of certain states to protest the race in the enjoyment of his ordinary civil privileges, such as are guaranteed to other classes of citizens. "Jim crow" restrictions, denial of suffrage, meagerness of legal protection when accused of crime, and the failure to respect our property rights are all local shortcomings, when we are allowed to seek relief, it INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1906. HIS INITIAL BOW. JANE MOSELEY THAYWOOD The Negro owns and manages an elegantly equipped steamer which has been licensed by the government to carry excursions on the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. is usually to be had only at the hands of the federal authorities, who to a very large extent, are immune from local prejudices and the narrow notions of the inhabitants of the centralization. If we could have our way, foot of American soil would be subject to the police power of the general government, if local discrimination could be shown by reliable evidence, for the federal constitution is a bigger institution—or ought to be—than any piece of paper a bigoted local community might see fit to foist upon the classes whom they wish to hold under subjection, in contravention of the great charter of the land. If President Roosevelt finds it necessary to invoke extraordinary powers to protect the shippers from discrimination to regulate immigration, to insure pure food for the people, to frame a state, and to establish uniformity in the administration of statutes which look to the good of white citizens primarily, is it not all the more necessary that we sustain his heroic policy with the hope that with the gradual extension of the federal authority, we may be able to appeal more and more successfully to its generosity for the rights that the states withhold. We welcome the centralization of power at the capital of the nation. National solidarity under just laws and honest administration, is national strength. The address of Dr. Booker T. Washington at the Golden Jubilee of Wilberforce was notable for many good suggestions, but none of them went closer to the marrow of the situation than that which counseled the consolidation of the three great Methodist organizations into one compact, sympathetic whole. He pointed out with graphic clearness the distinct advantages in numbers, in economy of administration, in increased effectiveness in spreading the Word of Christ, broader opportunities for uplifting the moral status of the masses, in relieving the perplexities of half-starved ministers by removing the friction of opposing churches in small communities, and in lightening the burdens of the people who are driven to their wits' ends to support these rival organizations in many places where one church of the Methodist persuasion would satisfy all reasonable demands. As he well says, there are no radical differences in creed, doctrines or discipline to adjust. The consolidation could easily be brought about within a few years by mutual concessions as to property and territory. The problem of officers need not create any widespread disagreements. The combine could use every Bishop and every general officer now in the service and pay the same salaries now in vogue by simply extending the boundaries of the work and making those of individual superintendence smaller, bringing the Bishop and heads of departments into much closer communion than is now possible. A worldwide denomination, with 1,500,000 members, working to acommon end, under a comprehensive system, with local churches distributed according to local needs, would be far more powerful in solving the problem of racial advancement than three scattered struggling and expensively administered establishments now painfully eking out an existence. This is an age of vast combinations and the PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY-SIX MONTHS, 850; ONE YEAR $1.50. church in the merciless conflict for the foreground. This idea has been a hobby with ye scribe for lo these many years, and it is especially gratifying to see our pet notion given such an impetus on such a timely occasion and by so eminent and convincing a force in our religious, and social and educational life as Dr. Washington. The applause which the suggestion evoked attested its popularity with the elements most deeply affected, by the changes it would bring about. A Greater Methodist church is a possibility if somebody in each branch will but take the initiative and champion the proposition as it deserves to be championed. Editors H. T. Johnson, C. C. Clement and R. T. Brown should start off with a ringing editorial endorsement in the official organs, and then the Bishops, general officers, presiding elders, ministers and laymen can take up the refrain and sing all along the way. Dr. Washington's Wilberforce speech was worthy of the man and of the sacred occasion which inspired it. Let us hope that it will bear the fruit that such a promising three should be expected to yield. Word reaches us that Bishop Walters and the magnates of the Naitnoal Afra-American Council have decided to hold the ninth annual session of that organization in Washington, in conjunction with the Young People's Christian and Educational Congress, as urged in our last letter. This is as it should be and the results will no doubt be all the more helpful under this arrangement than had the capacity and ability of the Negro to (continued on page four.) PROGRESS OF UNDERTAKERS COLORED ASSOCIATION HELD AT LOUISVILLE THEIR AIMS STRONGLY PUTFORTH Ability of the Negro to Give First- class Service.--Widows of the Pioneer Undertakers Conduo Business Successfully. The state of Kentucky has the only organized body of colored undertakers. Their recent association held in Louisville will be long remembered by the gentlemen of gloomy conscience. Their aims were strongly set forth with many brilliant addresses, and the chief good came by hearing and seeing daily demonstrations upon a cadever by Allice Melton, an embalming demonstrator of National reputation. The general success of the meeting was due to the local committee and the secretary, A. B. McAfee. Louisville has ten thriving undertakers located in different sections of the city. J. H. Taylor and Wm. Watson were the pioneer undertakers of Louisville and through these lamented gletlemen the gained the support and confidence of the people and by politeness, ability and test built up a large patronage and made it possible for others to follow in their steps. J. H. Taylor died several years ago but left his business well established. His sons being likewise summoned dby death, Mrs. Nora B. Taylor became the proprietoress. This being the oldest establishment in the city and with able management of Abe Meaux, it does a fine business and is destined to long life. Wm. Watson, like Mr. Taylor, died and left his business on a firm bases. He was universally admired and esteemed in business circles. Mrs. William Watson is conducting the business and is receiving the hearty support from the community at large. The business conducted on the same bases as that of her husband. Their business is the largest patronized in the city. J. H. Hathaway is another of the enterprising undertakers. His liberality and public spirit is winning the people of all classes. He is polite, courteous and gentlemanly and is growing and receiving trade from both lodges and church people. He is treasurer of the state association. The most rapid and successful undertaker in so few of years is George Woolridge. He has kept apace with the progress of the business and put into his all the latest and up-to-date styles including the most modern office in the city. He is helping to draw quite a deal of trade that formerly was given white undertakers. T. H. Hankins recently launched into the undertaker business and by his long years of business experience along other lines mixed with his popularity he is conducting a most successful establishment. He is deacon of a church and well known among christian people and a good deal of patronage is received from them. The firm of R. R. Smith shares a honored distinction. Mr. Smith having died in 1905, his widow, Mr. Mrs. R. R. Smith, has been the conductress. She has been encouraged by a reality patronage of the whole people of Louisville. R. R. Curl is her manager and the business is marked by extreme courtesy and piliteness and on such plans the business is a success. One of the youngest undertakers is Percy Lively, located on one of the fashionable streets in the city. He is making a brilliant showing for the race and daily demonstrating the be of the first class service on all (Continued on page eight.) RACE CLEANINGS The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, of Memphis, Senn., commenced business June 18. Special attention is given to accounts of lodges and churches.

Webster Davis spoke to a large gathering of Negroes at Masonic Theater on last Tuesday night. He was here in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. Building fund under the personal direction of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. Miss Burroughs has been extremely fortunate in the selection of the men who have come here at her request and Rev. D. Webster Davis is no exception to this rule. His subject "Jim Crow's Search of the Promise Land" was handled in a masterly way and never has an audience so thoroughly appreciated a speaker's oratory, wit, humor, music and poetry as did the one at Masonic Theater. Mr. Davis is extremely dramatic and his description of the Negro's bravery at San Juan Hill brought down thunderous applause. He told of the different nicknames of other races and he related all the nicknames applied to the Negro race, giving the history of each and discussed fully the "Jim Crow" Negro. He told of the Negro's religious liberty, his special gifts, his progress along all lines and his determination to be as high in the scale of civilization as any other race which would in due time give him a reserved seat in the Promise Land. Throughout his whole address he was warmly applauded and in one moment could bring tears of laughter, the next tears of joy and then of sorrow. When through, he was given the Chauantqua salute and was clapped so heartily that he was forced to return. Mr. Davis payed a high tribute to Miss Burroughs as the commissioned leader of the Baptist women of America. There was also a splendid musical program with Miss B. Mate Boyd of Jacksonville, Il., soloist. A neat sum was realized for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. *** The local business met's league will be called to order by Pres. Sam'l Jordan next week.

No more wonderful pleasure resort exists than Chicago's famous water park, "The Chutes." Its fame is international. This season it offers two sensations which have set the big city agog. One is "Elter," the Beautiful Mystery of the Lake," and the other King Humboldt's Royal Italian Band, led by Maestro Francesco Pozzi. The "Banda Italiana Abruzzi" is an organization of forty skilled musicians, which created a furore in Europe. It is touring the world and will delight the Chutes' patrons this summer. "Elter," who is a beautiful young woman, emerges from the depths of the lake and disappears beneath its waves like a fabled nymph. Her marvelous feat amazes and mystifies. "Shooting the Chutes" over the biggest artificial cascades in the world is the favorite pastime of Chicago. Shouting and laughing throngs descend the glistening cascades with the speed of the wind until their gay gonkies splash in the lake and glide swiftly forward on foam-crested waves to a plaid harbor. EAST COTTAGE While Pozzi's big band fills the parks with majestic strains, delighted celebrities are whirled through mid-air at marvelous speed; phantom cars stare across the horizon haden with gaily attired children and young women; miss of opalescent spray cool the beautiful park; its blue lake glistens and sine-tillates under the glorious sun and against the blue sky flutter and gleam countless flags and vari-colored lights. A more entracing spectacle cannot be imagined than The Chutes, a citadel of beautiful-pavilions, thronged with happy people, animated by a thousand gay activities, illuminated like a fairyland and ringing with the metabolies of its world-famed band. Among its unique devices are the Velvet Coaster, Aerostat Flying Machines, Radium Zoo, moving pictures of the San Francisco Fire, Electric Theatre, troupe of entertainers, Figure 8 Toboggan, Giant Automaton, Katzjanier Castle, free Children's Playground, Thousand Anamorphoses, Laughing Gallery, Helter Skelter, Mammoth Carousel, Mystic Rill, a Subterranean River, Haunted House, Pendant Swings, and a thousand others. This matchless resort is Chicago's favorite playground, a Coney Island, circus and world's fair, in all one. No visit to the big city is complete without "seeing the Chutes." Access to all of its bewildering activities may be had for ten cents. Street cars transfer passengers to The Chutes from all parts of Chicago for five cents.

In all well conducted dining room the waiters are taught by the headwaiter to be gentlemanly and obliging. First of all, the headwaiter sets an example by practicing these things himself. Many would be headwaiters teach these items, but do not practice them; therefore their teaching is in vain, while the incompetent headwaiter does neither. The last two are in the majority.

BERLIN MOB BEATS NEGRO Lynching on Streets of German City Narrowly Averted. Berlin, Special — A regular lynching of an American citizen came very near taking place in this city the other day. In one of the parks on side Berlin a Negro is employed in a restaurant and has been made to suffer much from the boys of the neighborhood because of his color. The other day he was surrounded by a crowd of chldren, who finally exasperated him beyond endurance, and to drive them away he picked up a stone and threw it at them. It hit a little girl in the head, and immediately he was seized by an angry mob, who nearly beat him to death and were in the act of hanging him to the branch of a tree when the police came to his rescue. He has been tried, and, after serving his sentence, will be sent to the United States, as he claims to be an American citizen. The Freeman is on sale at the East End Music Store, St. Louis, Mo. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER EASTERN BRANCH 17 N. Kentucky Ave., Atlantic City, N.J. PROCLAMATION Upon a door I saw a sign I cricked, "A Motto! and it's mine!" A wiser thing I never saw— No Median or Persian law Should be more rigidly enforced Than this, from verbage divorced— Its logic as firm as any rock— "Push—don't knock!" The Sunday funeral is frowned upon by thoughtful people. It is a queer circumstance that the fellow who differs from you is invariably wrong. This would be a happy world to live in if the average man thought as much of his wife as he does of his lodge. Bishop Grant ought to be quite well satisfied with the situation. Things have been coming his way for quite a while. It is currently reported that "Uncle Sam" is short of small bills. That's nothing strange. So are we—and there are others. Young men who depend upon a superficial gift of gab to "get by" on, instead of solid qualities, will be found wanting when the crucial test comes. In trading Carmack off for "Bob" Taylor Tennessee can rest assured of one thing—it cannot, by any hook or crook, get the worst of the deal. --- William Lloyd Garrison is right. The Negro can learn how to vote only by being permitted to vote. To learn by doing is the most approved method of education. --- Holding down a job exactly right calls for hard work, but there is an intense satisfaction in doing more of anything and doing it a little bit better than any one else can do it. --- It would have been more in accord with the eternal fitness of things had the "insurgents" at Washington incorporated under the title of "Bethel Literary and Historical Association." --- The colored Elks are the "real thing" now, and can wear the antlers with fine scorn, in the very presence of the exalted rulers and mighty moguls of the "unimproved" white branch of the noble order. --- It may have escaped the eagle eye of the festive reporter, but it is a fact that Ernest Hogan is a pitcher with an outfit of curves, drops and in-shoots that would make Rube Waddell turn green with envy. --- Word reaches us that Recorder John C. Dancy has written a whole page on his long promised "Life of Dr. Joseph C. Price." It will, doubtless, be finished quite a while before the Panama canal is ready for use. --- The ex-slab pension movement is a bare-faced fraud. To beguile ignorant Negroes into a belief that such a thing is possible and collect a fee to promote the ganzy scheme is outlining money under false pretenses. There now. ... Now that the Negroes have a clear right and title to be Elks, perhaps they will turn their attention to the majestic principles embodied in the ancient Order of Red Men, the Druids and the Pyramid Builders. We won't be left behind. Kansans at Washington'are planning to tender Register Vernon a banquet this month. Tae Vernon brand of To all Knights of Pythias, Grand and Subordinate Lodges, Officers and Members of the Order-Greeting: At the twelfth annual biennial session of the Supreme Lodge he'd in the city of St. Louis, Aug. 31, to Sept. 5, 1933, the following preamble and reso At the twelfth annual biennial session of the Supreme Lodge held in the city of St. Louis, Aug. 31, to Sept. 5, 1923, the following preamble and resolution was adopted: "Whereas our Supreme jurisdiction has all the ranks of the Order of Knights of Pythias except the Oriental Rank called the Dramatic Order Knights of Korasan, be it Resolved, That the Supreme Chancellor be empowered to secure the ritual of this rank for the purpose of initiating the members of our order into its mysteries." Pursuant to this resolution we have, through great difficulty, secured this work. It is not conducted like other branches of the order, as only one or two "Temples" by which it can be conferred are established in each State. This is a great achievement putting us in possession of all there is connected with our great and noble order. As this work is to be of universal cratery will have a vogue in the next few months. The new luminary in the national capital's solar system will "make good." --- A delegation of Baltimoreans recently presented the Rev. "Jay" Albert Johnson with a chair. In view of the inglorious collapse of the reverend gentleman's sometime bishopric boom this very appropriate gift must be a delicate intimation that he ought to "go'way back and sit down." *** Bishop Galloway doesn't think well of Governor Vardaman—and it is violating no secret to state that Governor Vardaman isn't lying awake of nights because of any affection for the big-hearted pralate, who "insults" Mississippi's imperious pride by addressing Negroes as "Fellow-Americans." The idea! --- President Roosevelt is quoted as declaring that he "likes Senator Tillman." We cannot account for the President's queer taste, except on the ground that as a huntsman he has cultivated a fondness for wild animals—grizzly bears, coyotes, bobcats and skunks—and associating with the fiery, untamed South Carolinian makes him feel at home. ** These are the days when a fellow gets a notion into his head that a little garden and the simple life are twin passports to heavenly bliss. He spends $3.40 for implements and seed and wastes $15.00 worth of precious time, as well as a souring a normally sweet disposition, for the sake of finally raising thirty cents worth of *puny*, pithy vegetables. --- One Col. Lumkin, a son of a distinguished South Carolina family, is after Ben Tillman's senatorial toge, and we are sorry he hasn't a saintilla of a chance to get it. Tillman is just about what his bourbon constituency wants, and it is not likely that his laurels can be wrested from his brow until much missionary work is done in the Palmetto State. ```markdown ``` If a man walketh upright before his fellows, obeyeth the law of God; and the State, careeth for his family, payeth his just debts and dealeth squarely with his neighbors, the world will regard it as of little consequence whether he believes in open communion, infant baptism, immersion, foot washing or other minor considerations that have to do with mere denominationalism. This may be heresy, but it is true. --- As we read of the throwing of a deadly bomb at the King of Spain and his lovely bride, of a foul plot to assinate President Roosevelt, and of the evil designs of various cranks upon the lives of the Longworths, John D. Rockefeller, Speaker Cannon, Ex Governor Francis and others of high rank, the conviction selzes us that the ordinary, common place citizen, whom the world doesn't know or give a continental for, enjoys an immunity from trouble that crowned heads may well envy. ```markdown ``` The authorities of the Indiana Association of Spiritualists who gave up their plan to have Booker T. Washington and Ben Tillman debate the race problem, because the latter objected, simply missed an opportunity to coin dollars by the thousand and the people will be denied the pleasing, though tragic, spectacle of seeing South Carolina's mighty muckraker impaled upon his own pitchfork. Tillman plays safe by warring only in his class, and when he has the game cinched in advance. scope and in order to give it a start befitting such an achievement, a team has been organized in the city of Indianapolis, Ind., under the direction of this office to confer the work and the first "Temple" will be organized in that city on August 15, 1906. All members of the order in good standing within our jurisdiction are eligible to take this rank. In connection with this important event the brethren composing the ten lodges and several Uniform Rank Companies of Indianapolis are preparing to hold a celebration at that time;commencing on August 15 and closing on the 17th, which will equal in solendor and brilliance the Supem Lodge sessions and Encampments. Efforts will be made to secure reduced rates on all railroads. The season of the year when vacations are usually taken was selected for this occasion and we hope that all Pythians who can possibly do so will be present to receive the last rank in the order and to participate in what promises to be a "Pythian week."

Although there is always more or less typhoid fever in most of the larger cities of this country, the late summer and autumn are the seasons when it is most to be feared. The disease is not so formidable, as regards the mortality, as some others, but its great length and the evil consequences which sometimes follow it in the form of weak heart, weak spine or nervous disorders make it quite as serious as some which are more fatal, but far less protracted. Unless one knows how the disease is usually spread one cannot hope to avoid it, and so it may be useful to consider in what ways the germs of the malady find their way into the system. Water is the usual vehicle for typhoid germs, as is well known, and probably all great outbreaks of the disease in cities are due to an infected water supply. This has been strikingly shown in Philadelphia, where some parts of the city are supplied with filtered water and others with unfiltered or mixed water. Comparing two parts of the city in which the conditions, except as to water supply, are almost the same, it was found that in the one supplied with filtered water the occurrence rate of typhoid fever was one in five thousand, while in the others, in which the unfiltered water was drunk, it was one in sixteen hundred. But a city with an ideal water supply may be scourged with typhoid fever, although less severely, through the medium of impure ice, and it is almost as important to know where the ice is cut, or with what water it is made, if artificial, as where the city water comes from. Not long since a number of officers on one of the United States ships in the Mediterranean squadron were taken down with typhoid fever. When the source of the infection was traced it was found to be some ice bought at Athens, the ice machine on shipboard having broken down. Another source of infection is found in oysters that have been fattened in streams contaminated with sewage. Not only has typhoid followed the eating of these fish, but the typhoid bacilli have been found in the stomachs of the oysters. Raw vegetables used for salads may have been grown in soil contaminated with slops used as fertilizers or may have been washed in infected water. Unless a water supply is above suspicion all that used for drinking, tooth cleaning and in the kitchen should be boiled and the drinking water cooled by putting vessels containing it on the ice, not by putting ice in the water itself. Finally, great care should be taken to screen all food from flies, for if there is a case of typhoid fever in the neighborhood flies may become most active distributors of the poison.—Youth's Companion. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Jealousy is like some other things—the lid should be kept on it. When you say no, say it in a manner that will leave no doubt of your meaning. When giving advice to others here is a small slice to serve yourself: Keep still more. How little the best doctor knows! And how helpless he is in the presence of serious illness! It is said that disappointment is hard to bear, but we all stand it pretty well when we look in the glass. A man just starting into a law suit has more faith in courts than his attorney ever claims to have. There are too many young men who start out to make their mark in the world and stop at a soda fountain or hammock on the way.—Atchison Globe. The Word "Cannibalism." The word "canibalism" is really the name of a people. It is identical with Carib, many of the Caribs, who formerly flourished in the West Indies, having been consumers of human flesh. The letters "I," "n" and "r" are interchangeable in certain aboriginal American languages, so that Columbus found one West Indian island saying "Caniba" where another said "Carib," while Shakespeare's Caliban is another variety of the same. Columbus' own conjecture was that the name was connected with the great khan, and later philologistes of the old slapdash type associated with "canis," a dog. Apparently, however, the meaning of "carib" was brave and daring. No Faith In Him "Guess that freckled daughter of Thompson's must have a steady young man." "What makes you think so?"

If he was they'd save all the gas."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. There Are No Certain Ones.

FALSE LEADERS. Fora long time past this psper hashed much to say about those members of the race who accept every chance that presents Itself for them to appoar at leaders, and who also accept as readily every chance to sell those who are foolish enough to fol- low them. By some clroumstance they ‘are made to apnear prominent among their people, and from this appearance they are supposed to nos:ess a considerable in!lu- ence. This supposed influence 1s to them ‘a commodity used for the purpose of gain, tnever seems to occur to them that tho confidence reposed in them by any num- ber of their more humble fellows is a sacred trust, or that any prominence or in- fluence which they may hold carries with Ita serlous responsibility. They have never learned that every Negro cf influence 4s a trustee of the race whose obligation to his people Is in exact proportion to the In- fluecce he wields. Where littie is given, Uttle is expected; where much Is given, much is required. There was never a time when moral responsibility rested heavier upon those who are in a position to help the race than It does today; nor was there ever a time when we were more in need of self help. Influences from without that once safe guarded our interests have fallen away. Sympathy and helpfulness ‘are not so common as in other days. More and more we are brought to face the fact that we must depend upon our own re- sourcefulness. Of this we do not oom- plain. On the contrary we welcome it, for we have always had an abiding faith In the ability of the race to meet all the require- ments of Anglo Saxon clvilization. Nor dowe complain because of the place or pelf which these fais» leaders receive as a price of their disloyalty to the interests of the race. But we do complain because every such act of disloyalty is a barter of the manhood of the race and degrades It in the eyes of those whose helpful co-opera~ tion we need. The leaders of a race are ‘Supposed to consist of its best. if these will barter their Influence, what must be thought of the rank and file of that race? ‘This fs the head and front of their offend- ing. What Is the standing of the Irishman who's disloyal to hls people? What would be thought of the Jew In Russia who would play his people into the hands of the police ‘and sples of Czar? Yet such a man would be no more disloyal in principal than many petty leaders of our race who may be found 4m almost any large city. We have them here, and ye shall know them. We have no apology to offer for calling attention to them, If they are recognized by this ploture we make, so much the worse for them. These are the real enemies of the race, for they would sell their brother's birthright for a mess of pottege and then have the brazen impudence to become in- dignant because the whole family does not ‘approve or else hold silence. THEN AND NOW. We do net belleve that Indlanapolls Is ‘any exception in ts show of progress being made by the race. We are of the opinion that just as much evidence of racial progress ean be found wherever any considerable number of our people are found. We have not got rid of the bad—by no means. They are painfully evident, every day and every- where—still, we are growing. Whethe,, wo are any further front as measured by he requirements of now, than we were ten years ago as measured by the requirements of then, may be a question. There Is,how- ever, noquestion as toj whether we have grown in the past twelve years. In spite of ths fact that_there have! been enacted during this period many laws{hostile to our THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER, rights as men and citizens; in spite of fact that organized labor has been more unjust toward our labor, and the Anglo Saxon has strayed farther from the Golden Rule, thereby bringing hardships tndis- criminately upon the good and the bad of the race—still we have grown. Ifone wouldghave the proof that we are making head, even against great odds, he has only to look about him, A dozen years ago we had no banks or large co-operative ‘business concerns. Today there are hun- dreds of these undertakings doing a credit- abie business in a creditable manner.Then, there were few doctors above the grade of “quacks” now, there are hundreds of physicians with diplomas from schools of recognized standing. ‘Then, we had but fow dentists who ranked It, skill above a plumber—now, we have skilled men in this professsion using the latest appliances and methods in this work. Sowe might go the whole round In industrial, religious and educational lines and note marked improve: ment and growth everywhere. The cab- bler is being supplanted by the finished worker, and the botch carpenter is giving way tothe man who can cut a line and fit a joint, Ths place of the conceited schoo teacher who could only teach children to memorize what was in the books, and talk parrot talk, ts having his place filled by men and women who are capable of devel oping} the child mind and leading i to comprehend the relation it bears to the things of life which surround it. Only the Jim Crow churshes will tolerate the Jim Crow preacher who oan only worshir God by main strength and awkwardness. In the places of these we are getting edu. cated Christian gentlemen who {ns’ston well ventillated churches, in which they conduct a service worthy to be called Christian. Instead of the old barber shor with its greasy furniture, and still more greasy barber, we have the latest furnisb- Ings and tidy workman of the highest skill who make your patronage a pleasure instead of a dread. But we have already written at too great length, and yet we might fill this entire page with the eviden- ces of growth to be seen by anyone. Yes we are growing. There isa marked change between then, and now. A COLORED WINONA. | Upnear the town of Warsaw in this state, washed by the shore of one of the most beautiful of our inland lakes, Is the Winona assembly ground. It contains cottages, halls, pavilions—in fact all of the accesso- ries which goto complete it for the pur- poses for which it was intended. Here are conducted summer courses along almost every religious, educational and litera y line. It furnishes an ideal meeting place forstate and National assemblages par- taking of the above nature. We have it from the highest authority that there is a movement on by some phil- anthropiomen to establish just such a place for Colored people. They have seen the need for just such a place, and are wiillng to bear by far the greater part of the finan- clal burden in bringing it to pass. They have an vetion on fifty acres of forest land lying on the shore of one of these Northern lakes. Kor this work they need the help of ahaif dozen representative Colored men who have the fitness for managing such work. And wouldit not be a most excel- lent project to have just such a place for the holding of large meetings,such as grand lodge meetings, Baptist Conventions, Con ferences, the Negro Business Men's League, the Afro-American Council, etc, eto? We believe that such a place would at once become popular, for it would be an ideal spot for all such gatherings. It would not be the Intentisn to bave it fill the wants of those who need a “‘midway” or a “‘loop the loop" in order to be intertained. It would be intended as a qulet retreat where real clvilized people could assemble in the quiet and shade foy rest and improvement. That we need just such a place there can be n> doubt. Its realization ig sure to come in the near future, elther by outside help or by the colored people themselves Cuicaco has pessed an ordiance forbid- ding the issuing of any more saloon Hcenses until the population increases sz that there shall be only one saloon to every sO0Inhabitants.

Such a record of three years does not show good for us. Any of these make an addition to the place they go, and In thelr going we have suffered a loss. Each of them was more than a mere school teacher. They all stood high In this community and added much to it by the free use of their talents in all the ways that help the forward move- ment. Our school cemmissioners should ‘either pay better salaries or use be'ter judgment, for we predict that it will be many years before we make five additions to our teaching list that will fill the places of these men Ur at the big white house in olden days there were black men who were looked on with supicion by those who worked in the fields. This was because thote at the blg house were in close contact with the land lord, and for this reason held a kind of in- fluence which was sometimes used against the interest of the field hands. Do you know we have those fellows emong us yet? Teat was a preity smooth trick which was played in the political game in this city last week, and some one should be held responsible for it. As for ourselves we felt no particul?r interest ex- cept to see honest dealing and fair treat ment. If such things are to continue It should be admitted that you can fool all of the colored people all the time. Ir Is interesting to watch a swarm of bees, but much mor® interesting to watch a swarm of people. The Russian peop e are “swarming” and there Is no cer ainty of just on what they will settle. The war showed Japan's strength and Russia's weakness. Since the close of the war Japan has made much progress in recon- structing her tosses whie Russla is still tearing down. From reports Memphis is having a bad time of it with her “‘Jim Grow Street Cars." Annumber of arrests have been made, but the joke 1s on the other fellow. When a white passenger Is asked to move forward about a half dozen times to make room in the rear for colored passengers he loses his patience, refuses to move, and then gets arrested for violating the law. ‘Tne Builders. Who are they? They are the sober, serious members of the race whohave organized to confer on them- selves all of the benefits that accure from seoret organizations with none of its atten- dent weaknesses or evils. Such an organiza tlon is actually in process of construction here. From reports there has been a great fal- ling off in the sale of meats everywhere. Sohere is at least one great benefit asa result of resent exposures. We shall have no packing house evils when we cease to play the cannibal and stop cutting the throats of animals and esting thelr car- casses. ‘A Negro has been mobbed and burned at Chickasha, Indian Territory. This should remove any lingering doubt as to the fitness of the people of thal territory to become full fledged citizens of this country. They look and act just like other highly clvilized people. ‘Wuan are those whom we keep in office going to be made to see that by all rules of honesty and fairness we are entitled to representative in the state legislature? But to have our own men work against this—that Is the straw that killed father. Wrra the beginning of the heated season it may be well to remember that there are other people just as warm as you, so do not add to thelr discomfort by your con- stant complaints about the weather. Tuat manin South Dokota who placed placed five sticks of dynamite on his chest and lighted a fuse attached to it was an ex- travagent man, for he waisted at least four sticks of good dynamite. ‘TweRe are people who en fool all the People some of tue time, and there are other people who cannot fool any of the people any of the time.

Harris, principal of the Norwood school, has undertaken to provide a building for the suburb of Norwood to be used as gymnasium, readingroom and baths for the young colored men of the cummunity. The plan has its origin in the Boys’ Club, which was organized in October, 1903, and was given the name of the Look- out Club, The object of the organiza- tion was to improve the morals and behavior of the boys. There were thirty active members and after con- tributions by members amounting to $35, the idea occurred to Miss Harris to use this money as the foundation of a fund to provide a building. She began to solicit subscriptions form the colored public with a view to making the building a monument to the thrift and enterprise of the colored people of the community. She issued promis- sory notes payable to the American National Bank. The were liberally subscribed for, and in little more more than a year the funds amounted to a sum sufficient to make a part pay- ment on property in Norwood valued at $20,000. ‘The property is just off Prospect street, and consists of five lots and a six-room dwelling. The title to the property will be vested in a board of trustees, with a provisi that the title shall always re- main that of the institution for the benefit if colored people.

The exact dates and place of meeting will be announced later. ‘The most profitable and enjoyable session that the Kentucky State Grand Lodge of the Order of Good Samari. tans has held in many years was that wich convened last week at George. town, Ky. One hundred and ten dele- gates were present. Grand Chief Watts presided, and the proceedings were marked by a harmony and brisk. ness that speaks eloquently of the fellowship that is being promoted by this wing of the Good Samaritan brotherhood and sisterhood. The re ports showed the organization to be in a thriving condition in ail parts of the state. Grand Secretary, Mrs. M. E. Washington, made an exceedingly happy presentation of the numerical and finacial strength of the Order. and her fidelity as a keeper of the records and seals and her accuracy as an accountant were substantially complimented by the gift of a beauti- ful, gold chain by the local lodge and magnificent gold ring on behalf of the convention as a body. The recog- nition was richly merited. Mrs. Wash- ington was, of course, reelected by acclamation. Rev. J.B. Wood, one of the ablest divines, editors and fra- ternity workers in the Blue Grass State, was chosen as Right Worthy Grand Chief. He is the editor of The ‘Torch-Light and lives at Danville, he also pastors the leading Baptist church. His election gives universal satisfaction, and years of unexam- pled prosperity may be safely looked for. C. W. Haggard, of Covington Mrs. Clara B. Woods, of New Albany, was chosen deputy grand chief, and Ind., associate deputy grand chief. National Grand Chief, F. W. Curry, of Urbana, Ohio, was in attendance, and his presence did much to inspire the convention to do its level best. He delivered one of his stirring addreses and aroused a high degree of enthus- iasm. The next session of the Samar- itans will be held in June, 1907, at Louisville. Dr. R. 8. Reves, of the Kentucky Conference of the A. M. E. Zion con- nection, is in receipt of a big batch of letters from prominent ministers all over the country, urging him to remain in the race for the Bishopric, and he has consented to allow his name to stand, subject to the action of the General Conference at Phili- adelphia in 1908. Nevertheless, Dr. Rives declines to enter a scramble for a position which he holds in too deep a reverence to be sought in an undignified manner, and his canvass ‘will be in keeping with this lofty con- ‘ception of the fitness of things. Quite a number of Dr. Rives’ intimate friends, however, recognizing his scholarly attainments and especial qualifications for work ealling for an expert knowledge of the Scriptures are urging him to enter the race for the editorship of the Sunday School Literature, now held by Dr. R. B. Bruce. In either niche, Bishop or Sunday School editor, Dr.. Rives would shine. Should the larger plum be beyond his reach at this time, the [General Conference will surely snap him up for the second choice, if he ‘could be prevailed upon to accept tt = | Bditor James C. Carter, of the ‘Brunswick, Georgia, Herald, has our most sincere congratulations upon his appointment as consul to Sizas, ‘Turkey, the salary of which is $2,000 per annum. Mr. Carter has served long and well in the local branch of the government service at Brunswick, has been a leader of the best. race thought of his state, and is one of the most active members of the na- tional Negro Business League, being a member of its executive committee. Mr. Carter’s appointment indicates the “door of hope” is still in good working order, and that the southern end is still available, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. We be- speak for Mr. Carter a brilliant re- cord as Uncle Sam’s representative in the domain of the Sultan. A re- appointment that will delight the Negroes of every section is that of Gen. Robert Smalls, the hero of the “Planter,” whose "famous exploit forms one of the memorable episodes: of the civil war. He remains as col- lector of the port at Beaufort, South Carolina. Se Rev. L. E. Christy, editor of the sprightly East St. Louis, Ill, Senti- nel, has flung his banner to the breezes as a full-fledged candidate for the editorship of the Christian Re- corder. We are rather proud of the fact that we were among the first to suggest Rev Christy for this honor- able and useful post, and it is pleas- ing to learn that the encouragement he has received at the hands of his appreciative brethren is sufficiently strong to warrant him in thus shying his castor into the ring. No better selection could be made, if the A. M. E. church wants brains rather than bumptiousness in the editorial sanc- tum of the official spokesman. R, W. THOMPSON The Kicking Cow mip —}—5—b— {Copyright, 1906, by Homer Sprague.) “See here, parson,” said Aunt Hetty Strong to her pastor, “I've come to prefer charges against Samuel John- son. He's a class leader in our church, and yet he swears like a pirate.”, “I am sorry to hear that. When did you hear him swear and what about?” “He's been cussing night and morn- ing for the last week, and it bas al- ways been when he was milking. He has pounded one of his cows in a dreadful manner three or four times.” “T am going to Smithville today,” re- plied the pastor, “and I'll stop and see Brother Johnson.” ‘That afternoon the pastor drove out and stopped at the farmer's, After some little conversation on other topics he introduced the matter of swearing. “I'm not going to deny it,” replied the farmer as he gritted his teeth, “Yes; I have been swearing. I know it's wicked and that charges would Ile against me, but I just couldn't help it I expect to swear again this evening at milking te” “Is a cow mixed up with it?” askea the pastor. “Very much so. ‘Two weeks ago I traded some hogs with a man over in Delhi for a cow. She's the worst kicker on the face of this earth. She has kick- ed me off the milk stool from one to three times every time I have tried to milk her.” “and you have sworn?” “I couldn't help it.” “And you have pounded her?” “T have tried to break her back.” “I am sorry, brother Johnson—very sorry. You must expect to be tried in this world, and you must expect to rise superior. Swearing and cruelty to anl- mais is altogether un-Christianlike. I presume you have heartily repented?” “{ won't admit that I have,” answer- ed the farmer in stubborn tones, ‘The pastor shook his head and clasp- ed his hands and looked up at the cell- ine Tw nnd We he alla “I think you need an object jean in patience and kindness, oe Johnson, and I guess I will stay to Per and milk that cow myseig.” “By John, but Pll put a bag of tatoes into your buggy if you an Yes, and if you want to criticise me after the milking I won't say a wee beyond begging your pardon.” |“ ‘Three hours later the farmer and thy pastor approached the barnyard to dy the milking. ‘The kickine cow was the most humble and demure of the thees cows in the yard. There was seit at negation in her pose and timidity jy her eye. ‘The pastor stndied her fore couple of minutes and then wondereg It Brother Johnson hada't been tapping a barrel of old cider. “That's the critter,” said ashe pointed her out." "= ‘The pastor approached and stroked her and had a few kind words to say, His look grew complacent as he did we He was almost beaming as he planted his stool and sat down aud bora, work. ‘The cow stood like a statue ‘There were files trying to get in their work on her hind legs, but she never even switched her tail, “Brother Jobnson,” was remarked) after about five minutes, “don’t yoq think you have been mistaken im thx! cow?” “Flardly ever, pastor.” “Then I can’t quite make it out 4| more kind and gentle animal I never_| ‘Thescow swung with her right leg! and the hoof and all the weiht behing it caught the good man full in the stomach and sent him rolling over au over.

She expected the pastor was going| to confront her with Farmer Johnsoa| as to the swearing and pounding, and sne turned pale and grew nervous over it, but he softly and kindly said: “Sister Strong, would you kindly sit down and milk this cow?" “Why, certainly.” she replied. “This is the new cow Brother Johnson's been getting, and it's a shame the way he has sworn at her and poundod her around. As I was saying to my bus band this morning, she’s as quiet a3 an old sheep.” ‘The pastor and the farmer stoot aside, and Aunt Hetty sat down with stool and pail. For three or four mip. utes the cow closed her eyes and seemed to dream of babbling brooks and grassy dells. ‘Then she opened them and went to business with thit right leg. A little extra steam was put on for the occasion, and Aunt Hetty went five feet beyond the pastor's ree ord and was a full minute longer than he in recovering her senses. Her first exclamation was, “Darn that eow” Her first move was to grab up a elub. “Sister Strong, do you blame Brother Johnson for swearing at and pounding this cow?” asked the pastor. “Not by a dum eight!” she heartily replied, “And you—you don't want him ehurched?” “Not unless he refuses to knock ber horns off and break her back!" “Well, I feel somewhat that way my- self, and if you are willing we will drop the matter of this morning and say no more about it. Thanks for your kindness in coming over and demon strating, Sister Strong.” M. QUAD. L —HOWARD— Inclydine Medical, Denta! and Maga reanenante Golleeos Washington, D.

Washington Principal Speaker—Plea for United Negro Methodism and a Clean Ministry—The Spirit of Union. Wilberforce, Ohio, (Special)—The principal address on June 21, during the exercises in connection with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Wilberforce University, was delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Washington's address in full was as follows: Wilberforce University is synonymous with the progress of the Negro race. Fifty years of Wilberforce means fifty years of racial growth. I come to you today not only to bring the greetings of the Tuskegee Institute, but our hearty congratulations as well upon the magnificent work you are here accomplishing. All honor to the memories of those whose faith and pioneer efforts made this institution possible. All honor to those that are at present sustaining it. Led on and inspired as they are by such men as President J. H. Jones, Wilberforce University has demonstrated that the Negro race possesses two elements essential to the highest civilization of our people,—first, that the race has the power of self-control and of executive leadership; and second, that the race is capable of receiving and imparting the highest forms of learning. But Wilberforce stands for more than the progress of a single institution, or group of scholars. It represents the high water mark of the progress of a great church with 850,000 members. As encouraging and praiseworthy as has been the past, I believe that the great African Methodist Episcopal Church, whose representative Wilberforce is, can lead the way in the future to still higher and greater things in racial progress. In the commercial world, the political world, and in the educational world the age is being marked by union, by combination. The North and the South each year are drawing closer together, politically and commercially. Scarcely any man is now asked whether he fought on the on the Southern side or the Northern side, or whether he votes the republican or democratic ticket. The spirit of union is everywhere in the atmosphere. The same spirit of union is at work in the religious world. Each year sees the Northern Baptist, Southern Baptists, Northern Methodist, and Southern Methodist, Northern Presbyterians and Southern Presbyterians are drawing closer together, blitting out lines of separation, because all of those potential forces recognize the fact that in union there is power and added usefulness. All this leads me to say that the time has come when, in my opinion, the black independent legions of Methodism should also unite themselves in one mighty organization for the promotion of the spread of the gospel and the education of the race. No vital doctrinal differences separate the three principal independent branches of black Methodists. Such differences as exist, for the most part, relate to history and church policy, and not one member in a score can explain what those diffeences are, or would consider them vital if he understood them. I believe, that the leaders in the three principal branches of Negro Methodism are big enough and unselfish enough to sink all personal and denominational differences and devise a method of union that shall mean not the loss of a bishop, or general of fusor, or anything vital to the church, but that shall save to the race the tremendous expense of supporting in the same territory, as is now sometimes true, from two to four sets of bishops and from two to four sets of presiding elders and the same number of annual conferences, church buildings and other machinery. Let the Negro church catch the spirit of the age, and instead of three branches with a scattered membership, let us present the object lesson of a united Negro Methodism with a million and a half members. With the money, time and strength saved, that are now spent in duplicating and triplicating church work, concentrated in material, educational and religious growth of a single organization, we can have a racial unit that shall command and compel the highest respect of the nation. Mexico, Italy and Germany so long as they were, divided into small countries were impotent and without influence. We want to find a man or men who shall be to the Negro Methodism what Diaz was to Mexico, Cavour to Italy, and Bismarck to Germany. Such a man or men can be found. With a strengthened and united Methodism, Wilberforce University—and all of the coleges supported by the Negro Methodist can more than treble their strength and power within the next fifty years. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. There should be, in my opinion, union and concentrated effort in one other direction. Take the African Methodist Episcopal Church connection, for example. You have eight thousand churches or pastorates. How are those churches to be supplied with intelligent, upright and capable men? There are numberless high schools and colleges, both South and North, that will provide without cost to your church the purely literary and scientific training to your men, but there is no institution except that which you yourselves will sustain which will train your ministry in the special faith and practice of your church. In other words, you must train your own ministers or be without them. If other institutions will provide literary training without charge, and will not provide for theological training, the logic of all this is that you should concentrate and unite in the direction of having at least one strong, well sustained theological seminary here at Wilberforce and one other in the heart of the South. Ar the rate you are now turning out ministers from your seminary, that is, a few dozen a year, you can never keep eight thousand churches supplied with ministers of ability and character. Let me repeat, then, that our public schools, state colleges, and other institutions will aid or relieve you in the matter of purely literary training, but none will aid you in the training of ministers for your particular branch of Christian work. Relieved, then, of the cost of secular education, at a comparatively small outlay you can have two great theological seminaries—one at Wilberforce and one in the heart of the South, that will do the work no one can perform for you. Again, there should be unity of action, and therefore racial strength, in two other directions' I believe in Wilberberforce, in its president and its other officials' because it presents at present the best rallying point of the perpetual union of the forces of the Northern Negro and the Southern Negro. We should see to it at any cost that the two elements of the race are kept in closest, harmonious touch. The black man at the North is dependent upon his Southern brother for much. The Negro of the South is constantly obligated to his brother at the North. This is going to be true, in certain directions, in an increasing degree. The Negro at the North has not only the responsibility of casting his ballot in such a wise and patriotic manner that will conserve and protect his interests, but he has the added responsibility of using his ballot in such a wise and patriotic manner that his vote will help forward the interests of the race at the South. In a word, the Negro at the North must, in a large degree, vote both for himself and for his brother at the South. Further in the direction of union I believe that as a race we should let no opportunity escape us in the North or in the South to cultivate in every straightforward, manly manner the most cordial relations between ourselves and the white race by whom we are surrounded. Any other course will prove stortightened and sulceal. Not all white men, in the South. or in the North, are our enemies, and at all times we should have the courage to give credit to those who are our friends. Do not misunderstand me in this connection. Let us repeat in substance what I recently said in the heart of the South, that in connection with our religious, educational and material growth we should not lose sight of the fact that if this country is to continue to be a Republic its task will never be completed as long as seven or eight million of its people are in a large degree regarded as aliens and are without voice or interest in the welfare of the government. Such a course will not merely inflict great injustice upon these millions of people but the nation will pay the price of finding the genius and form of its government changed, not perhaps in name, but certainly in reality, and because of this the world will say that free government is a failure. If you doubt the statement of our having friends in the South. I wish you to read the following extracts from an address delivered by the Hon. Walter A. Fleming at the commencement of the University of Georgia. Braver and truer words have seldom been uttered North in behalf of the race: "Race differences may necessite social distinctions, but race differences cannot repeat the moral law. The foundation of the moral law is justice. Let us solve the Negro problem by giving the Negro justice, and applying to him the recognized principles of the moral law. This does not require social equality. It does not require that we should surrender unto his inexperienced and incompetent hands the reins of political government, but it does require that we recognize his fundamental rights as a man. The right of exemption from discrimination in the exercise of sufferage on account of race is one of the guaranteed constitutional rights of all American citizens. Let us respect the national laws to the limit of endurance, and if that limit should be passed let us resort to some means of redress more typical of Southern manhood than fraudulent subterfuge." Finally, there should be united and [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie, looking directly at the camera. The background is plain and light-colored.

There are no other discernible details or text.]] W. H. COUNCILL, President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Normal, Ala To the Friends of Right and Justice: I have no gall for enemies, nor bitterness for foes, but peace and good-will for everybody. I am prompted to address you these few words, not as a strike-back, not as a defense, but to express my feeling after a most severe denunciation. I have seen all in the life of the Negro since the firing of the first gun on Fort Sumter to the present day; and I am forced to say, that the recent expressions of displeasure show more clearly the capabilities of the Negro race at invective and incidently the race's educational forces and powers, than anything else that has occurred since the bloody guns of Fort Sumter called the nation to battle, which resulted in the annihilation of human slavery on the American Continent. For forty years without intermission, I have labored in the school-room for the advancement of my people—thirty- and courageous effort in one other direction. I sometimes fear that the enemy that lurks within the race is more to be feared than the enemy on the outside. Municipal. state and national bodies may attempt to pass laws to degrade and blacken and weaken the moral character of the Negro race, but not all of these forces combined can pass a law to degrade or weaken the moral character or weaken the Christian standing of a single black man in America. We may be convinced, our progress retarded and our patience sorely tried, but no law can degrade us. We ourselves are the only beings who can inflict that punishment. There are certain virtues too high for the law to touch. The Bible, which you and I love and believe, says: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law." This leads me to say that I believe that the race has a right to ask that the great African Methodist Episcopal Church led on by such institutions as Wilberforce, shall see to it that the race continues to make rapid progress in the intelligence and high moral character of its ministers. In the raising of the character of its ministers, the whole race is making progress. For this all deserve congratulation. But the race is also going forward at a tremendous rate; it demands more of its leaders each year. One unclean, intoxicated minister can do more in a week to tear down the reputation of your church than many righteous men with combined effort can do to build up the church or the race. I plead not for the punishment of the guilty so much as I plead for the protection of the standing and influence of the minister who is trying to lead a pure life. The masses cannot be deceived by the mere moving of an individual with vicious habits from one city to another, or from one section of the country to another. The more such a man is moved the more the rottenness spreads and the greater the damage to church and race. Some- # no of these forty years being spent here at this place with the same Board of Trustees, making "bricks without straw," out of which has grown Normal. Through all of the years of my life to the present, from the Pine Groves of North Carolina, through the Richmond Slave Pen and the Cotton Felds of Alabama, I have been true to my race. My ears have been open to the cries of the needy; to the struggling School boy, whether from the distant jungles of Africa, or the swamps of my own country; the pulpit, undominational or inter-denominational; orders and societies of every description my heart has throbbed in unison with their cause and to their call wherever I saw aspiration or inspiration for the uplift of the Negro race. To every cause and everybody I have divided my strength and substance as God has vouch-safed, ungrudgingly, my strength and substance to me, and without respect to race or condition, with where within every Negro denomination there is a force that is potential enough to rise Samson-like in all the majesty and beauty of its strength and rid the church and the race of the burden of impure. unsafe ministeral leaders, no matter what their standing or influence may be. Do this and you present to the young Negro minister an object lesson that shall promote right-ousness and rebuke sin for many generations. Such heroić treatment will not drive people from the church-it will bring them into the church. Lost the race unite in unflocking and unfrocking every impure immunistial leader. Let us not deceive ourselves into the belief that we are serving the interests of any individual or the masses by attempting to hide or whitewash wrong doing. The greatest kindness to the individual as well as to the race is to let the truth come to the surface. In conclusion, permit us to add that I appreciate thoroughly the difficulties through which the race is passing Wrongs and injustices have been inflicted upon it, but I see nothing in our condition to cause us to become discouraged, but much to make us determined to go forward with a new courage. On the completion of its fiftieth anniversary, the race congratulates Wilberforce University, and few events of recent years prove more conclusively that as a people we are destined to succeed than the fact that a great university like this can exist under the leadership and guidance of black men for half a century. As we depart from these historic and sacred grounds, let us do so with a firm and new resolve that we shall give our lives with renewed zeal to the furtherance of the highest interest of our entire race. In thus acting, we shall stand magnificently and bravely by the men who have built so wisely and successfully in the past and are to make Wilberforce a still greater power for good in the future.

I have tried to be courteous, kind and helpful to everybody, regardless of race or condition and God alone knows how well I have done my duty. This characterizes my dealing toward all men, white and black, of every condition and station. I give to each justice truth and right, as well as the goods of this world, as God enables me to see it. In the great battle for human rights, and, especially, the rights of the Negro, we have no forces to spare.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA 25c=PHOTOS=25c Colored People -A Specialty- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THEODOREDRURY IN CARMEN Theodore Drury, impressario, baritone and operatic star, and his grand opera company came to a hearty and jubilant ending at the Fourteenth Street Theatre, New York City, Saturday evening, June 2d, when Bizos opera, "Carmen," with Mr. Drury as Escamillo and Franklyn Brown in the title role of Don Jose, was presented. The cast was as follows: Carmen.....Madam Mary Terrell Micaela.....Madam Estelle Clough Frasquita.....Miss Daisy Allen Mercedes.....Miss Genevieve Motley Don Jose.....Mr. Franklyn Brown Escamillo.....Mr. Theodore Drury Morales.....Mr. Richard Brooks Zuniga.....Mr. George Taylor El Remerdads...Mr. Arthur Franklyn El Dancearo.....Mr. J. D. Payne Oriental Dancer.....M. De Forreste That Theodore Drury has fulfilled his mission in his hard struggle and past efforts to give to America an all colored grand opera organization right in a New York theatre is a miracle beyond compare. He even did more than that; he went through the hardest to present an all-colored cast only to receive a star disappointment which compelled him to substitute a white singer. Then again, as a sacrifice to himself, he gave a young white pupil a chance to sing at the Saturday matinee, but the greatest sacrifice of all was that Drury took the critics' advice of season's past by stepping down and out of high tenor roles, never to sing them again, to assume the baritone, his rightful vocation of Escamillo, as second figure to a mere youth, a young upstart, with the voice of an angel, whom he had intrusted with the most pretentious role of Don Jose. The Don Jose in question is Mr. Franklyn Brown, tenor singer of Indianapolis, Ind., who, in advance of his age, dramatic experience and vocal education, made his debut as the most important personage in a standard grand opera. It was a pathetic source of joy to other critics who were present to see this yound, wild, slender boy advance to the footlights to impress us that we had once heard Campanini, Tamagno, Ze de Reske and Alvary, and now read of Caruso in the music-drama tragedy "Carmen"; so we journeyed to Fourteenth street to hear the tenor of a new angel voice, but to see what our eyes would rather not be held dramatically. Franklyn Brown (or Frank Fowler Brown, I don't know which), was not aware that he was fluguring in tragic drama of a musical sort that calls for strenuous study, all he had to think about was the glorious opportunity of bellowing out his robust notes, whenever he could catch them at a grasp within his reach to bellow. As an actor we had expected nothing from one so young as Mr. Brown, but he gave us one nice little picture scene seated in a chair while Carmen danced around him in true grysy style. In his duel scene we missed the treat that Drury and Ruffin once gave us. At tragic moments, traces of wrath could be seen only in the flashes from his eyes, for in stature Mr. Brown is tall, with long straight legs, projected backwards, that looked quite well concealed in boots. His thin pale tan-colored face is proportioned by thick straight auburn-like hair and large eyes that are vain but impressive in their lustre. As a songbird, Franklin Brown is a new discovery and truly a great robust tenor with a voice that is rich, sweet and plentiful. He will be equal to the task of heavy tenor roles in grand opera only when he has acquired a more advanced vocal and dramatic education. All his highest notes above A had to be taken in falsetto, notes that he could have easily met in fortissimo if he had only known how. His middle notes were taken advantage of both by himself and the orchestra almost to overdoing. Male voices are generally unreliable, but it does seem possible in Mr. Brown's case, if he has the happy gift of self-control, enough to take good care of himself and lose sight of self-importance, that Indianapolis may some day be able to boast of having produced the world's greatest colored tenor. Madam Mary Terrell assumed the role of "Carmen." From her very entrance on the stage it could be seen that she is a woman gifted by nature both as an actress and singer. Her portrayal of the famous gypsy character was something wonderful for a woman who has not had years of experience and training. The music which is written for mezzo-soprano or contralto was easily within her grasp, superbly executed, and in the dainty bits of character work her jestication was grand but in the tragic climax of the last act she was naturally doomed to fail dramatically. Madam Terrell has a soprano voice of greater power than Madam Clough and qualifies in ample sweetness and power enough to sustain opera. Be- sides Madam Terrell is handsome and has a generous share of temperamental magnitude. Madam Estelle Clough appeared as Micaela. If we are to speak of art Madam Clough, like Drury, both can be spoken of as the most genuine dramatic artists of the performance. It was a most refreshing treat to see Madam Clough dealing in the kind of art that one has been accustomed to seeing in Emma Juch and other noted white singers whom I have so often witnessed in the same part. Madam Clough has long been the subject of much discussion in musical circles in New York and New England, but this review of her art and vocal ability will no doubt render a decision for those who have not considered her great and those who thought she was. As a singer, Madam Clough is a soprano, possessing all the qualities attributed to greatness except a powerful voice. Her voice is not quite heavy enough for grand opera, but her ability as an artist renders her capable of attempting it. Her voice is one of genuine sweetness, especially in shading, always reliable in possibilities of execution. She is superior in voice and art to Madam Hackley in every way excepting Madam Hackley's extreme high notes. It is not to beate Madam Hackley that I mention this fact. If Madam Hackley was a good teacher she was certainly over-rated as an artist and will require an exacting course in Europe to compete with Madam Clough and do what Madam Clough can do in grand opera. Theodore Drury as Escamillo, was at his best and heard to a better advantage in a medium sized theatre in Terrace Garden. His rendition of the Toreador song was a masterpiece of vocal art hardly equalled by any other male singer in the company. Genevieve Motley, Daisy Allen, Richard Brooks, George Taylor, Arthur Franklin and J. D. Payne played other parts in the cast. The orchestra under the direction of Eugene Salvatore, a skillful Italian conductor, was a little noisy, but otherwise perfection. Mr. Drury complained to me that the colored race did not support the opera as they should, but I attributed their lack of patronage to hot weather and the unconcern of a large element of the race who are not yet educated to grand opera. Of a whole week's performance of a first venture, Mr. Drury probably got all the educated class there was in three different days. Of the white race patronage the hot weather certainly was a hindrance. That the white race responded at all to a colored grand opera company is a sure sign that one company of the kind will soon be a paying venture, as all the white people who attended from day to day, including the newspapers, spoke highly of the performances. This is encouraging when we consider that white grand opera in America has been little short of failure. Madam Julia Nordica, the great opera singer, gratified Mr. Drury with her presence in a box on the opening night, and Madam Sissietta Jones (Black Patti) also sent him a telegram of congratulation. Mr. Drury has now fully established his reputation as a grand opera purveyor and the Freeman bids him bon voyage and the critic is much obliged for a reserved seat in the orchestra. After a few local performances during the summer, the company is preparing to take the road next season. Eczema. Cosmetic jelly has been found an excellent remedy for eczema. You can use it on the face without the slightest fear of unpleasant results. Take thirty grains of gum tragacanth and soak for three days in seven ounces of rose water. Force through muslin to make the preparation smooth and add an ounce of alcohol, an ounce of glycerin and a suggestion of boric acid, say half a teaspoonful. The jelly is a preparation which has been found wonderfully fine for chapped face and hands. Hiccough at Dinner. Many persons are debarred from dining out owing to their liability to contract hiccough during a meal. As a rule when caused by food it comes on at once, and equally as a rule the food causing it is hot. Soups are more likely to provoke hiccough than solids are. It is a good plan to forego soup, which can be done without causing remark, says Home Notes. Or one may eat a little bread before taking it. A third plan is to drink a little cold water and to take the soup in very small sips. The Best of the Poem. "I don't see anything in that poet's new poem."

Cunningham It may have been that in the hurry and confusion of getting away from London the purser of the steamship Bramble got things mixed up. He knew that he had among the passengers no less than three fond American mammas who had been trailing over Europe with marriageable daughters and were coming home with disappointed looks, and he hoped to give one of them a last chance. However it happened, it was known among the passengers even before the Bramble left her dock that a great man was on board. It was Mr. Julius Smithers of the Chicago beef trust, and his fortune was variously estimated at from ten to fifty million dollars. There were men who at first denied that Smithers was a member of the trust. They could name over every packer who had ever been mentioned in the papers, and the name of Smithers didn't figure in the list. They were about to denounce him as an impostor when a red headed man suggested that Smithers might have come into the trust on a merger of some sort. There were mergers merging all the time, and what if the beef trust and the tombstone trust had consolidated their interests? The thing was as good as settled in an hour. Mr. Smithers was a man of forty. He was rather rotfnd and bald headed. He had just the faintest inclination to be fashy. Mr. Smithers was very democratic for a man worth untold millions. He made acquaintances rapidly, and the steamer had not made a hundred miles to the westward when he started a game of poker in the smoking room and had for companions a drummer, a cattleman, a ward politician and the inventor of the sausage stuffing machine. He was given a seat at the captain's table. It was afterward said that this was a mistake and P. L. H. K. "I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. IN FACT, I WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN." that he had taken the place assigned to a bishop. If he hadn't been worth millions upon millions his table manners would have been open to criticism. There was much to overlook in Mr. Julius Smithers or there would have been under any other circumstances. He was about the only one who didn't know it, and he was happy. Within forty-eight hours those mammas were laying wires. If they had failed to pick up a lord, a duke or count abroad it wasn't such a bad thing to fall back on one of the "its" of the beef trust. Mr. Smithers could not only restore the family beefsteaks to the old time prices, but he had millions to spend in castles, yachts and diamonds. These mammas had male friends aboard, who were instructed to obtain information about Smithers. He met them halfway and more. "Say, you take my word for it, it's going to be the biggest success of anything for the last ten years," was his sanguine reply. "You'll hear all about it within a month after we land. Money in it? Well, I guess yes. I expect to make bonfires of fifty-dollar bills." He was talking about the merger, of course. His replies were reported to the waiting mammas, and they were introduced. The said introductions came about in a careless way, as if by mere accident. The mammas found him hearty and jovial in his speech. He didn't always follow the rules of grammar, and he sometimes caught himself just in time to bite off a cuss word, but a man may be forgiven much if he can draw his check for several millions. It was decided in all three cases that Mr. Smithers would do as a member of the family. When he became a son-in-law they could polish him up a bit and gradually reduce the size of his two watch chains and his diamond pin. Then the daughters were introduced. This was also carelessly accomplished—that is, while Mr. Smithers was making intervals between his poker games in order to get a breath of ocean air he would suddenly find some one in his path and be compelled to pause and be introduced. He wasn't a man with a grain of suspicion in his composition, and he was the soul of good nature. He gave up his poker to sit down and make himself agreeable to Miss Blank. "You may have heard of the beef trust?" was his way of starting off the conversation. "It's going to be the biggest thing the United States ever heard of. My, but that was a great thought of mine, and I can't help but feel rather swelled up over it! No more bust-ups; no more walking the railroad tracks for Julius Smithers, Esq." The girls elevated their eyebrows in surprise and perplexity. They had never heard any merger talk before, and it was as Greek to them. They reported to their respective mammas that Mr. Smithers didn't get into college the day he called, that his ways were rather familiar, that he evidently hadn't attended over a thousand high teas and grand receptions and that it would take a carload of sandpaper to rub him down, but he had a good heart as a foundation to build on. If his conversation wasn't exactly up to the notch the windup was intended to draw applause. He always finished by saying: "I shall now have to ask you to excuse me, but I will see you again. In fact, I want to see you again. I think I can figure it out before we arrive at Sandy Hook to offer you the best thing of the season, but keep that to yourself." "Mamma, what did he mean by that?" asked the respective daughters of their respective mothers. "Why, child, how silly you are?" was the reply. "What could he mean but one thing?" "But we have known him such a little while." "You haven't got to know a millionaire over a day or two. They are different from other men. They have the cash." There were men aboard looking to get into a good thing on the ground floor. They knew that the beef trust was a good thing. They threw out hints to Mr. Smithers, but he laughed and shook his head and replied: "Not yet, my boy. I've got the dough to start it off, and I want all the plunks there are in it. See me next season." "Will beef go up?" "Thunder, no! We expect to knock the price down to 15 cents a pound." "Then how will you make your millions out of it?" Mr. Smithers didn't make any direct answer. He simply winked a long, quivering wink with his left eye and conveyed the impression that there was a coon up the tree. The merger man enjoyed the sunshine of flattery and envy and toadyism for five or six days. Then Sandy Hook was sighted one morning, and he announced to the three scheming mammas that he wanted to hold converse with their three daughters. It was to be private converse. There was agitation. There was perturbation. There were consultations. Mr. Smithers selected a corner of the music room, and to that spot the victims were led in turn. The conversation was about the same in each instance. "My dear girl," began Mr. Smithers, with paternal blondness, "I told you I had a good thing on hand and would try to arrange to make you an offer. I am about to do so. You have never had any experience on the stage, but you are a mighty good looker." "Sir!" demanded the maiden as she retreated a step. "Oh, I shan't ask you to dress unbecomingly. It's just a plain, straight play called 'The Beef Trust' and showing how that corporation by raising the prices parted two happy lovers and brought grief and death to other households. Three corking acts and a cast of twelve people. We introduce a drove of cattle, a slaughter house and a butcher shop among other spectacular effects. Will move right along without a hitch. Papers are bound to give it free columns of advertising. I can put you in the cast at $30 per to begin on. What do you say?" None of the three said anything—not to Mr. Smithers. Ten minutes after the last interview a murmur swept over the great steamer. That was followed by a growl. After the growl came cries of "Kill him! Throw him overboard!" There was a rush of feet along the decks, but Mr. Smithers was pulled into the purser's room and saved from total wreckage, and when the steamer reached her dock the captain lent him a pair of false red whiskers to disguise himself and escape the mob. Baptism In Morocco This is the way an infant is christened in Morocco: "When the first child is born—and the parents are accustomed to wish for a girl as a happy omen—the mother of the young matron sends a basket containing the layette of the infant, along with henna, eggs and pigeons. The baby is stained with henna from head to foot and the little body smeared with butter and wrapped in flannels. The seventh day is the dap of baptism. At the first hour of the morning the friends are invited to the repast. About 9 o'clock a 'taleb,' or, better still, a 'shereef,' sacrifices a sheep on behalf of the child and as he cuts the animal's throat pronounces the sacramental words, 'In the name of God it is the baptism of such an one, son of such an one.' Then the child is washed for the first time, henna is put on its hands and feet, khol under its eyes; it is clothed in its finest robes and put into its mother's bed, at the head of which lighted tapers are burning." Setting Mother Right "I'm sure, Ethel," said the girl's mother sternly, "that I saw him kissing you last evening." "Nonsense, mother! He's entirely too bashful"— "Don't contradict me, child! I saw the performance with my own"— "Pardon me, mother. You merely saw me kissing him."—Detroit Free Press.
