THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XXI NUMBER 43 WALTERS AT LOUISVILLE ADDRESSES THE SOUTHERN AUDIENCES ON ISSUES To Keep Its Promises Says the Bishop and Bryan is Sounder on the Negro Question Than Taft-Notes of Interest. LOUISVILLE, KY., Oct. 23 (Special) —Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York City, arrived in the city Wednesday at 11 a.m. He was immediately driven to W. H. McKinley Street in 1965 W. Chestnut street. He was served dinner, after which he received a number of callers. The large number of citizens that met him at the train remained with him, and he was able to relate to the Negro. It was a remarkable scene to see so many independent Negroes of all walks of life paying their respects to the distinguished prelate, who was a man of great importance in World as well. His many stand for manhood rights has endeared him to the hearts of the people in this section, and this was thoroughly demonstrated by the numbers who called and talked with the Negro. It was in this city, some years ago, that the bishop spoke at the Afro-American Council at the Macauley's Theater, and this was thoroughly demonstrated by the numbers of Tuskegee, William H. Lewis, of Boston, and others, but it remained for Bishop Walters to make the address of the evening. They were no triming of the hair. He might have come to "Jim Crow" cars and disfranchisement. This is being remembered by the Negro here and it is having untold effect with great delight in coming to his visit he called upon Mr. Henry Watterson, from this interview many able editions have been written by the editor in chief and with great interest that there are some who are criticizing the bishop, but they are over-balanced by the great army of self-respecting and intelligent Negroes. Bishop Walters was born in Bardstown, Nesbitt County, KY., and a good many of his early days were spent in Louisville. Many of his old playmates called to see him and remained a long while and talked with others while others spoke on questions more vital. Speaking to the Freeman representative, he said, "The Brownsville affair was an insult to the Negro soldier and the white race, the white race, the white race, the Negroes who do not resent the injustice are devoid of manhood and are unworthy of the name freeman." He spoke of Roosevelt repudiating the Negro plank and was sundered by thirty old years the Republican party has not lived up to its promises." He spoke to Bryan's friendship to the Negro and was sundered by the Negro Question." Mr. Taft enumerated the hundreds of loyal supporters of his position in all sections in which he had traveled, and said, above all, must divide their votes in this campaign. The bishop will speak at his home and will leave today in a private car with special party accompanied by the Freeman and his correspondent on his rift he will spurn city Hall Friday night at Odd Fellows Hall, Thirteenth and Walnut streets. He comes independent and auspices of the Young Men's Independent. The Rev. L. G. Jordan will preside at the meeting after being introduced by the B. Lewis who is president of the club.

Frank, pastor of the Church of the Holy Trinity, on announcing the coming of the Alexander Walbers, Bishop of the A. M. E. Church. Some few tried to make adverse remarks, but it did not amount to anything. He then appointed his comings, but urged his congregation to attend the meeting. The colored Library will open October 24. The occasion, the occasion, Many of Louisville's professional men are to take part in the excursion. Miss Elizabeth Finney has been permanently appointed assistant librarian. The jewish, J. C. Anderson, pastor of Chapel A. M. E. Church, left Tuesday to attend conference. The members of his congregation are anxious for his return. Negroes in the postoffice are not only a group of young men but are making a fine impression among the list that will draw a variety of $1200 per annum. Many of them are purchasing homes and are investing their money that will in field them rich returns. The Freeman representative had the pleasure of calling upon all departments of the Church of the Holy Trinity Times last month showing a made a decree of gentlemen the Negro calendars made the Douglass Calendar Company. He was probably surprised to find that every man made by Negroes along this line other surprised to note that the city editor of the Times, Major Coleman, took good advice. porters make a good "story" about the calendar company. The Freeman agrees with the Times that the new project is a work that will improve and should take well with the Negroes in the wellness in all sections of the country. While the calendar is business advertisement, it portrays the higher life of Negroes. We fortunate enough to have success.

BILL E. HAYWOOD Thinking Over the Political Situation. a reprieve or stay of execution, it appears at this writing. For awhile only a few of the colored people were concerned other cases were so outrageously carried out, they became a little indignant, and proceeded to raise funds and employ counsel. Attorney O. V. Royall, who made up the majority of the other cases, the very day after James was sentenced that he was through with the case unless sufficient money was raised to carry it through to the minutest detail. He never made up the case, and the court responded that Mr. Royall was of the opinion that it would be better not to carry the case further, but all the while he declared that he would be able to take the case and respond to citizens took interest in the Mr. Williams, however, declared that he would take the case up, and encouraged a few colored men, who were anxious all the time to be involved in the case, for a fair and impartial trial by unbiased men. But all thought that the death penalty was excessive, as James was convicted on circumstantial evidence, and it posed that he did not need to answer or, if he did not need to answer or in self-defense. So when it was seen unmistakably that all the judges obtainable were prejudiced, many of the testimony were not, and many of the cases were not, and they did. If we are not misinformed, Attorney Ch.

Taking issue with Miss Ethel Barry- more as to the standing of American so- ciety women, their temperaments and mentality, Miss Marguerite Shonts, sis- ter of the Duchess de Chautnes, who has arrived on the White Star steamship ‘Adriatic, declared that the actress. was entirely’ wrong, and that there are no Women in the’ world who make. better wives, have more cultivation or a better Brasp'of all phases of life than the Amer- jean woman, Tn Miss Barrymore's statement, made in St. Louis, she described the American society Women as plggish, selfish, entirely purposeless, and then went on to assert that they were by no means the mental equals of the noblemen of Europe, whom many of them seck as husbands, FITTED FOR NOBLEMEN. ‘When shown Miss Barrymore's state- ment Miss Shonts, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ‘Theodore P. Shonts, arose at once to champién the girls and women of America. “Miss Barrymore is entirely wrong.” she said, “and she has no right to repudi- fate the’ women of the United States. ‘There is no woman in the world who makes a better wife, who is better fitted mentally to be a companion to her hus- band, or who has the brains and cultiva- tion of the American woman. “'Nowhere in the world are there to be found women of greater refinement and education than in the United States, and they are fitted in every way to marry any foreign nobleman, and there are just as many American girls who marry for- eign noblemen in proportion whose lives are.ideal as there are women of the titled ranks of Europe. PART IN NATION'S WELFARE, “I oppose every statement of Miss Bar- rymore and have never yet seen any woman who can compare wit hthe society women of our country. Here the promi- ent part which the ‘women have played in the nation’s welfare shows whether or not they are the Inane creatures de- scribed by Miss Barrymore in the dis- patch from St. Louis. “Tam very. proud of being American and think that every other woman born here is the same. Our women are repre- sentative as a class or the women of a new. country, with new thoughts and a greater grasp of the world’s events, and fo one who has visited It even thinks of placing ‘them on a lower standard than those of the other countries.” ‘Miss Shonts while in Europe spent a great deal of her time with her, sister the Duchess de Chauines, who ts still under the care of a physician and said to. be in delicate health. Miss Shonts seemed to be in excellent spirits and said that her trip abroad bad done much to Pena han MRS. BRYAN GLAD SHE WAS EX- PELLED FROM SCHOOL. Mrs. William Jennings Bryan admits that when she was a student at the Jack- sonville Presbyterian Academy in Tilinols she was expelled from this institution Because she went buggy riding with the Democratic candidate for the presidency, who was then attending school in thé same town. HE WAS POPULAR. “1 am not one bit ashamed of it.” said Mrs, Bryan. “I would do the same thing again. William always was a winner, and always will be. “Many girls besides myself thought Mr. Bryan a real nice young man when he Was attending “school in Danville. | He Was the most popular beau in the village. “{'do pot believe in girls disobeying their teachers when at school, but Ido think that if-a girl really loves a man it is no harm at least to let him know It ‘occasionally. BROKE RULES WILLINGLY, “mr, Bryan, on the occasion that 1 went buggy riding with him, really. per- Buaded me against my own inclinatior to take the ride, He had a friend, with him who is now the Rev. Julian 8. Wads. worth, pastor of an Episcopal chureh at Brockton, Mass. “They ‘met me on the street and called to me to get in and take a ride. I knew it was against the rules of the school, but when Mr. Bryan told me how dearly he wished to talk to me I couldn't resist the invitation. “when I returned I was expelled. La- ter, however, I was reinstated, and be- ame valedictorian of my class.” DOCTORS DOUBT THEORY. It seems that the brain of females Is giving the medical fraternity much un- fasiness, For the most part, we are glad that there is a difference in’ the brain of jnen and women. However, It does not jnatter, much Whose brain 18 the largest, 80 long as they cultivate them to the lim- its, but anyway it seems to be a disturb- Ing eleemnt. I physicians do not agree with the Ideas ‘of prominent woman educator, o Chicago, Ella Flagg Young, head of the Neram!’ College of Chicago, with refer- ence to the relative capacity of the male ‘and female cranium. In a recent address before the Chicago Woman's Club Miss Young advocated the equality of her own gex by announcing that the male and female brain is alike, and that all tall Shout’ “sex of brain” was—wel, just talk. Dr. JeN. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health ‘of Indiana, when con- fronted with Miss Young's belief in the capabilities of the female brain said the study was a deep one and “worthy of the ldnight oof a thinker” His healta tion, he said, was due to his inability to tell "Just Why Miss Young had blundered, hot that he doubted that there was a Blunder. “AVhen we physicians say that Miss Xoung is mistaken,” said Dr. Hurty, “it is not really necessary for us to point out just where her mistake lies. A’ man does hot have to know why there Is a differ. ence, between a man’s brain and a wo. man's brain to realize that there is a difference. Whether I am able to enter into an analytical discussion of the rela- tive capacities of the two craniums I am here to say that they are not alike, never Were alike and never will be alike, ‘unless, of course, something radical happens. It reminds me of the old story in a popular history, in which the story teller says ‘A woman’ isa man—with a difference.” DE. ALBERT STERNE TAKES ISSUE, ‘Dr. Albert Sterne takes exceptions to Miss Young, for scientific reasons. If the male and female brains differ in no other way, he said, It is a proven fact that the average woman's mind 1s apt to be syn- thetical rather than analytical, while the brain of a man may be both’ analytical and synthetical. “I realize,” said Dr, Sterne, “that this is a ticklish’ matter. If I say that women are not as capable as men in many ways, Tam likely to have to face the wrath of more than one woman for my impudence. T must say, however, that my, medicai training and experience has taught me to believe that females do not, as a. rule. have as good an analytical brain as males have. Men, on the other hand, may have both an’ analytical and a syn: thetieal brain. Most doctors, too, will inform you that the weight of an average woman's brain is about five ounces less than that of the ordinary man. I must confess that I see differences.” HINTS ON GOOD LOOKS. “Old women are younger now than they used to be,” says Madame Hatten, authority on beauty. “Women _ wear younger clothes—you can't get them too young. During all this talk of chloro- forming men at the age of sixty, did any one suggest chloroforming women at that age?” “Many @ divorce that is charged up to incompatibility of temperament is really due to the fact that the woman does not Keep her nails clean, her hair combed, her clothes neat.” WOMAN. WHO SNIFFLES IS LOST. “Some women have a fashion of weep- ing. If they should weep once before a glass, they would be cured of this. If you must ery t ogain a point, just let the tears form in your eyes, but don't let them fall. Don't let your nose get. red and don't sniffie. A woman who. sniflles is lost!" “We must take care of the little hair we have—so we may have something to pin the other hair to.” “We are evoluting and in the process it appears that women are coming. to have more hair on their faces than for- merly." (Note—Not a pearl of wisdom, that, but a pearly tear of sorrow.) “Masticate your food if you are thin and add a few pounds. Masticate your food if you are fat and take off a few pounds.” “Phere should be a contrast of colors In complexion and in clothing.

If we have none, we hope to have ; if we've had one, we hope to have an- other. So, beautiiy.” “After We are sixty or over we often need some gray in our hair to soften our features.” “Husbands and brothers Ike the fin- ished product, though they do not admire the process." Perhaps that is why: they sometimes admire other women most— they only see the finished product.” “When you take a bath, bathe—don' soak.” “The hands are apt to show age more quickly than the face, In Paris the first thing they do when one is ‘beautified’ is to tint the hands.” “Avoid hot applications. _ Occasionally, in this advanced day one finds a woman who steams her face, but fortunately most women have learned better. “Because you haven't a thing, don't think you can not acquire it.

WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS PAY TRIBUTE TO PIONEERS ‘The fortieth annual convention of the National Woman Suffrage | Association was in session at Buffalo, N. Y., last week. Commemorative services ” were held jin honor of the first woman's rights convention and many of the speakers were descendants of the delegates who took part at the gathering at Seneca Falls In 1848. In the reports made it was learned that ‘armies of women are work- ing for the ballot all over Europe. Even in Turkey the women are casting aside their velis and_ joining issues with the Young Turks. So great is their enthusi- asin that it will not be surprising if they are enfranchised' before the woman of America is given the right to cast her ballot. A woman graduate of the Michigan University has succeeded in climbing Mt. Huasean in the Andes. She has studied in Germany and Athens and for a time was professor in Latin at Smith College. She is a staunch ‘supporter of woman's suffrage and says that a woman who has the perseverance to climb to the top of a26,000-foot mountain, the sex in gen- eral Should have the right to vote. ‘This woman is unmarried, and perhaps if she ever ventures in the. matrimonial field and rears a family, she will think that the washing of ‘dishes, cooking three meals, Ironing, washing ‘and. the. endless routine of work’ will also be a reason for suffrage to women, if sacrifices, endur- ance and perseveranee count in their fa- vor.

Keep your eye on Grand Master W. L. Houston, of the G. W. O. of O. F. He is on his way—just wait! Vice President Fairbanks is too valuable a man to be permitted to retire to private life next March. Only women know not that the face value of “trading stamps” is added to the price of the bargains they buy. To the pessimist: The situation could be many times worse than it is. Just elect Bryan and see the difference. The only malcontent that cannot be placated is the one who is not really mad about what he says he’s mad about. Experienced people say, "Eware of things offered free." They cost more than articles offered for sale at a definite price. * * * * The colored brother is taking readily—aye, greedily—to the automobile, but he is rather shy about fooling with aeroplanes and "sich like." * "Original Taft men" are multiplying at such a rapid rate that by next month the fabled leaves of Vallambrosa will look like a mere peck of alfalfa. * * * * Georgians will follow Col. Rucker, the experienced man of affairs in preference to Prof. Doolls, who dreams dreams and cannot interpret them aright. * "The Oyster Man" didn't get started on the road with the first month of the "rs", but he will catch up with the procession when Taft's election makes investments safe. * * * * The trust that has been selling us ice at atlanticuous prices all summer is now suavely selling us coal at a figure that would make the Malayas look like hoffhills. If Oklahoma had not managed to greep into the Union, the loss to the American family would not have been great. The Haskell progeny is certainly the black sheep in the Nation's fold. Col. Henry A.

There will not be any material change in the leadership of the Negro race after November 3 or March 4. Those now watching on the wall are "making good," and the country will give them a vote of confidence for an immediate period. The wife of a colored preacher at Bridgeport, Canaan is run away with another man, and churns up a horse she have gone with them. It's a bad mess, but we cannot refrain from again hinting that "we is gittin' mo' like white folks every day." Wedding bells for Joe Gans! Miss Martha J. Davis, a fair schoolmarm of Birmingham, canean lady to whom he will bring home the churned milk. This Is Gans' third venture upon the matrimonial sea. The third time will again prove to be "the charm." For several months the Episcopal bishop went begging. Such an anomalous state of affairs could never happen in the United States. Churches, where the universal feeling among the eminent divines is that "he who seeketh a bishopic seeketh a good work." Dr. Booker T. Washington did "sure enough" have "the time of his life" in the historic State of Mississippi, last for a remarkable rival of Frohnman, Belasco and Hammerstein in the expert handling of the brilliant itinerary that was mapped out. * * * * It is the boy of unusually strong character who can make a hit in life in spite of the adoration of a doting mother and the indulgent father. The boy who has "hustle" or go hungry is up against a 20-to-1 shot, but the final odds are in his favor. * * * * Our old friend, Charles H. Lanier, of Indianapolis, has a faint recollection that there was once such a place as the White House, where he mind taking another turn at the old stamping grounds, or very near them, if sufficient pressure should be brought to bear from the right sources. * * * * The Jews closed all their stores the other day to celebrate a "day of atonement" for all sins they had committed during the year. We wonder how many weeks in Boston they would Detroit informer and the Brooklyn Eye would have shut up shop to square up their shortcomings of even the past two months. It does not pay to cut off one's nose to spite his face. "Getting even" with it is the wisdom of Saman when he pulled down the temple. He may have destroyed a few Philistines, but he also destroyed himself. No sensible Negro will essay the role of the suicidal Saman this year. The "Holy Rollers" are badly in need of a prophet to succeed the late Seer G. Jackson, John D. Howard, G. W. Chivis, Harry C. Smith, John Sharp and other "high Rollers" might bring valuable in-depth subject, if not supply an eligible list from which a satisfactory choice might be made. The Negro who has a vote and refrains from exercising his privilege through plique, isn't fit to be a voter. He is hacking in mental poise and his judgment is being tested if they would get buy and cut out all "near-citizens" who voluntarily disfranchise themselves. Vote for something, or get out of the game! The Norfolk Lodge Journal and Guide, an erstwhile Foraker organ, but now for Taft, urges the Negro to fight fighting the Republicans to imitate their white con- EN, The Swe the new ORBY C ACK COAT?

That's sensible; that's practical. --- Unless the Southern Negro has good lungs and some money in his pocket, the free North will not prove an Eldorado for him. He will not prove an Eldorado for him when he is "made," and make his condition more favorable by exemplary conduct and productive industry. Dr. Washington, Mr. Buckner and Charles Banks are giving the Southern Negro the advice of true friends. Have you heard from Georgia? The State of DuBois has adopted a "grandfather clause" and other restrictions to keep the black man from exercising his autonomy on suffrage. Yet DuBois always makes a good Bryan! When it becomes fashionable and safe to put one's hand in the tiger's mouth, the Northern Negro will follow DuBois crazy advice. They say that William Pannell, the faithful personal representative of Judge Taft, and who is now on leave of absence on his present trip, make a prehensive study of the geography of the White House. Astrologers have let him into the secret that the stars in their prehensive study Taft the next President of the United States—and Pannell is "in" the deal. --- Editor Roscoe Conkling Simmons cannot be accused of lack of loyalty to his friend Foraker. His double-column broadside includes his review in defense of the Ohio Senator who was brutally Simmons never minces words nor blits his tongue when the welfare of a friend is in the balance. He counts not what the world says. He speaks bravely that when he is known—the final test of honest comradeship. There are different ways of doing and saying things. Time was when you wanted to confer upon an individual a member in good standing, in the Ananias Club, in the womens club, in rect and unequivocal language. The up-to-date, gentlemanly way, however, is to indicate diplomatically that "his statement is so imperfect as to be entirely missing." Talleyrand has the whole "push" on his staff in this advanced century. Those who expect the millennium to come with the election of either Taft or McCarthy will not have a disappointment. Money will not come with work for it, fried chicken will not be free, coal will not be delivered for nothing, and water will not be available. A matter who goes to the White House. But the Negro's opportunity to get "these goods" will be enhanced by Taft's triumph—and opportunity is all that any reasonable man asks of the address of Fate. Theatrical managers need not be unduly alarmed over the momentary craze of the 1920s. They will have its vogue, as did the "dime museum" and rag-time craze in their season, and the versatile public will pass to other cities. The nyson, "All little systems have their day; they have their day and then they cease to be." Only the standard and fundamental creations of life survive the ravages of time and the fluctuations of fashion. The New York Age proudly announces that it is "of age. Age" it has just celebrated its twenty-first birthday and its manhood is of the sturdiest character. The Age is now old enough to vote, and it makes a first ballot for William Howard Taft. Messrs. Fred R. Moore, Jerome B. Peterson, Lester A. Walton, George W. Harris, Miss Ida May Moore, Eugene Moore and James W. Hancock, the marvelous success of the paper is due, have our most sincere congratulations. The Age was never half so good as it is to-day. Charles W. Anderson is an authority on New York politics. He never goes off "half-cooked," and the big chiefs can al- ways depend upon getting from him the facts touching every situation and the masses of his own race swear by him. He commends him with fidelity, dignity and dispatch, and enjoys the respect and confidence of every subordinate connected with the Internal Commercial banks of the commercial kings of the Nation's marmots. He is lucky in the matter of official plums, but never falls to see that "the boys" get "their n" also. "Charlie" Anderson is a born leader. $^1$ A convincing evidence that the Negro has a stake in the financial operations of the National bank in the attendance of John Mitchell, Jr., upon the national convention of the American Bankers' Association last week at Denbigh, North Wales. Nickel Savings' Bank at Richmond, Va., which has done much to encourage the wage earners of the race to put by their Knights in the hands of the famed in the money circles of the country. Besides this, he is the editor of the Planet, one of the Negro's best journals, and prominently identified with the Knights. For the same reason in the world-wide. Mr. Mitchell's presence at Denver in such company is an indication that the black man is not a "dead um" when money is needed for the occupation. The National Negro Business League is doing its appointed work. $^2$ One of the fairest and squarest daily journals in the country to the colored people is the Washington Evening Star. It is a journal that makes for equality and civic righteousness. It rings clear upon all injustices, and does not bite its tongue when it is called out. It expressesgressions of the strong and powerful Anglo-Saxon race against the brother in black. Following the death of the pioneer William S. Saxon, the newspaper announced that there would be no change in the high-pitched editorial policy that had won it a warm place in the heart of America. It also closedable expression of its mission in the following language: "The Star is for Washington among cities, for the United States among nations, for the right, justice and freedom of every one, child, white or black, poor or rich, here and in all the world." Can any journal publish a book even the oceans beat the Star's platform on broad Christianity and humanitarianism?

It is said that the Republicans are now working overtime in Indiana. Perhaps they see the "terrible need." The weather continues ideal. Winter seemingly has been postponed for a few days. Better put in the time flirting with the coal man. President Roosevelt will become an editor when he retires into private life at the end of his term. Mr. Roosevelt is a born talker; he's got just the job he wants. The birth rate in Hawaii among the Japanese for the fiscal year ending June 20 exceeded that of all other nationalities combined. These Japanese apparently are a farsighted people. The shaking up among the little states in Europe turned out all right. The agitation for peace and the abolition of that monstrosity, war, may have had something to do with the serenity in such a short while. The Interstate Commerce Commission evidently has failed to make good, according to the colored Bishops. Separate cars in the South have in a manner been accepted, under protest, but the trimmings are still denied. Perhaps Mr. Trotter did not say that every Negro ought to graduate from Harvard. A man that has sense enough to graduate from that institution, as Mr. Trotter did, is far too sensible for such a silly utterance. Another one of those monster meetings for the benefit of the colored contingent at Tomlinson Hall on the evening of the 2th. Register Vernon will be the attraction. He is an able speaker—discusses the issues of the campaign intelligently and pleasingly. Some one has recently said that the greatest chef is he who produces the simplest, most appetizing and most wholesome dishes. This is a departure from what is generally thought to be the virtues of the great chef. Must be getting ready to call in the old line of mothers. Indiana avenue is a little thick of evenings. It should be remembered that some one is always looking on, and for the purpose of charging up what is seen to race disposition. A race is judged by what is seen of it as well as by what is heard of it—in the greater part by what is seen of it. The Civic League thinks well of William E. English, James T. Layman and Alfred Potts for Senators. It recommends Thomas A. Daily, John F. Engelke, Russell B. Harrison, William D. Headriek, James M. Ogden, Frank C. Olive, Samuel K. Ruick and Charles Gauss for the Legislature. Mr. Gauss is the only Democrat in the bunch. Be sure and select men when you vote that are friendly disposed, either to yourself or race. It is said the race problem is an individual affair; that the individual must care for himself. Get busy. Ask about the candidates—all of them—then take your time thinking of them. Weigh them as the grocer does sugar—very close. Study the ticket. If you don't read much, make a picture in your mind of the name of the individuals you wish to vote for. A steward who believes that the best work can be done with the least noise, said: "I am particular to have silence in the kitchen, so that the caller can be heard and the answer can be heard distinctly. The noisy kitchen is prolific of mistakes between the waiters and the cooks."—The Hotel Monthly. The same in most every other place. The best work is done where there is quiet. Not much thinking amid a babel of tongues. "He stands best with his fellows who lets other people boast for him. Self-praise is always discounted by an unappreciative world." And don't you know that if a fellow didn't say something of himself sometime there would be nothing said? Oh, yes, this is the wall of the misanthrope, but is very often true. Or why does the poet speak of the rose that blushes unseen only to lose its sweetness on the desert air? A fellow is forced to a little horn blowing in these days in his own behalf or he will not be noticed. It is extremely fitting that some token of esteem be shown George Dixon, the great Negro lightweight prize-fighter, who died a short time ago. His was a long career, and honorable, according to the code of the manly art. In looking over his schedule of battles, mostly victories follow his name. The most noteworthy thing of the movement is that his opponents, if we so express it, those of his class—Terry McGovern, Young Corbett—were the leading spirits in raising necessary funds. These are young white men who allowed their respect for a fighter of quality, regardless of color, to have full sway. The testimonial was a fountain, and said to be one of the most beautiful in the city of New York. It is for public use. On the inside wall, surrounded by a wreath, are the words: "In memory of George Dixon. Erected by his friends, 1908." Bishop Hood, of the C. M. E. Church, in replying to his political intentions recently, said as follows: "My purpose is to support the ticket of the National Republican party, along with thousands of good Democrats, both North and South, along with the Baltimore Sun and Brooklyn Eagle, which, with other high-toned journals, represent the best sentiment of the land. I am sure I shall never be ashamed of the company I am in, and thousands in the South will envy me my liberty and will regret that they do not feel themselves free to enjoy the same privilege. On State and county issues I shall do as I have suggested that others may do with safety. I shall take my choice of the candidates of the two parties according to my judgment of their fitness for office. This I feel justified in doing so long as the two leading parties continue to occupy the same position with respect to the rights of my people." The colored people will think very well of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, regardless of what others may think of him. He has proven a friend to the Negroes, which was particularly evidenced in the Brownsville matter. We take it that he did very much in placing the case properly before the country, giving the people opportunity to judge for themselves as to what really happened. The Senator has ever been a stanch Republican in his State, standing for the policies of the party, including those in behalf of the Negroes. His position in the Brownsville affair has won from the Negroes everywhere the greatest regard. And we may say that the justice-loving people, regardless of color, will see nothing in his position to condemn. The race views with displeasure the attempt to destroy his usefulness, regardless of the source, feeling, of course, that such an attempt traces back to the Negro soldiers' incident. The part by Senator Hemenway, of Indiana, in behalf of the soldiers will also be remembered and appreciated. By popular vote recently the State of Georgia so amended her Constitution as to disfranchise the larger part of its Negro voting population. This was merely formal, however, since it has been a long time since the Negro stood for very much politically in that State. This facetious take-off on the situation is noted: "It requires the would-be voter to prove that he is either a veteran or descended from a veteran, or that he has a good character and understands the duties of citizenship, or that he is educated, or that he is a property owner. It is not difficult to imagine how the registers, who will administer the law, will construe the last three alternatives whenever a Negro dares appear before them. 'Good character' will, if necessary, be interpreted as including abstinence from 'possum and banjo. The applicant who claims to know the 'duties of citizenship' may be asked to quote North Dakota statutes on mayhem. And a most terrible financial depression will set in whenever a colored man's house or store is appraised." THE COLORED VOTERS It will soon be election day. What will you do on that day? The election is really of more importance to you than to white men, excepting those who are candidates for office. As a rule, capable men are standing for the offices. As it concerns local affairs which ever way it goes, the government of such affairs will be equally well carried out as far as any one is able to know. You need not concern yourself about the quality of men, for bad men will not be very long in office; their sins will find them out, and they will be turned out and others put in their places. You have to consider the candidates from the standpoint of friendship, either for yourself or for the race to which you belong. Colored men are members of the Republican party; they will do no wrong, however, but a great justice to themselves if when looking over the ticket they see the names of thos of another party, any party, who are avowed friends, it is clearly up to them to put those individuals under obligations by voting for them, and thus be the means of getting rid of some of the prejudice. In doing this they will be doing as others do. The elections go first one way, then another, by many thousands of votes. Is it so by their vote? Not very much. Remember, others also look around when voting or before voting. In the South our race has no vote to speak of. It might as well have voted for its friends and preserved the voting privileges. It would not have been the means of keeping down prejudice, but it would have had a checking tendency. The Southern courthouses would have had colored men through them, as ours. It is simply fair to state that the Democrats of Marion County have placed colored men in office when they have been assisted by the colored voters. It is now plain as day that in this community, and we think in all Northern communities, the white men are about the same, Republicans or Democrats. They are also the same in the South on the race question. Politics will not be of much importance from now on in helping colored men to get what they want, or even protection or the guaranteeing of rights. Parties have become useless in that respect. The Republican party, which was foremost —is on the Democratic ticket, but declares he won't vote for him if he asks it, shows poor judgment. If his boss stood for principles that were enslaving or which had in mind the reducing of his liberty, he would do well in holding out against him; but in affairs, where it is a question as to who keeps the books, he ought to help his boss to keep the books. He would at least know his boss, and perhaps would not know the individual running against him. The colored man must learn to take such things into account. THE POLITICAL SITUATION THE POLITICAL SITUATION Rev. E. L. Gilliam Gives Views As It Affects the Negro Columbus, O., Oct. 19, 1998. Hon. G. L. K. K. Editor The Freeman, Editor The Freeman, Dear Sir—You ask my views as to the present political situation, and the position which our people should take therein. Replying thereto, would say it is my duty to follow the negroes in our party, long blindly followed by the Negroes in party, regardless of what that party may have done or may not have done. It would be far better for us if we would our party just as we would theirs. We should vote the same ticket than that all white men should be of the same political faith. We do not think through the color of our skin, nor by the texture of our skin. White men demand of parties certain things which appertain to their welfare, either in business or civil condition, or both, in order that their opinion, or will their opinion, do most to advance their interests. The Negro must do the same. He has long since paid all that he owes the Republican party, with interest, and must show that he is thinking, and by acting, as other men do. White men ask about the tariff, the trusts, etc., and act accordingly. So must the Negro, and more, he is forced by the race questions of the utmost importance, hence he has the right; nay, it is his bounden duty to ask, and to know, what is the position of the Republican party in the position of the opposition of the voters' velt towards the Negro soldiers, also the position of Secretary Taft. It will not do to shoot this aside. If the Republican party will not, define his position on this question, then no self-respecting Negro should give him his vote. Let every man of us do his own thinking, and vote for such interests. In doing this we will be but following the example of Secretary W. H. Taft, who in a speech delivered in Akron, O., three years ago, publicly declared his intention to vote for Governor in Cincinnati on the day of election, so that he might cast his vote against Myron T. Herrick, the regularly nominated Republican candidate for Governor, in the race for governor. In criticizing nominee, I submit that if Mr. Taft had this right, and I believe that he did, then every other voter, whether black or white, would vote for Governor of his conscience, and to follow his own judgment, and still retain membership in his party. Now is the time for us to show our independence, and I will urge the Negro to declare the progress of this city and State are going to assert their manhood by dividing their votes in this election. Many of them will support Bryan, some the Prohibition Party and still others the Republican ticket. For the first time since I have been a voter, I expect to give my support to the Republican nominee, but I do feel that I can consistently, nor with a proper sense of justice to my race, cast my vote for Taft. I sincerely hope that the vote of the colored citizens of Indiana, and generally throughout the country, may be divided between the different parties, thus showing that the party does not checkers on a board, nor unthinkable cattle, to be moved about at their will, but that the day has come when the party will vote for the reasoning, sensible citizens, has determined to play the part of independent voters, giving their support to such men and measures as they may choose. Excerpts from Governor Harris, the Republican nominee, and hope to see him elected. Present indications are that he will be successful, and the question ought to rally to his support a large majority of the voters of this State. I feel that in him we have as brave a man as ever believed in the power of believe in Senator Foraker and regard him as one of the staunchest and triest friends of our race. I truly believe truly, *EDWARD L. GILLIAN*. COMPARING ACCOUNTS. Has the Negro Received a Just Representation in Proportion to the Services He has Rendered the Republican Party? The enormous stampede of intelligent Negro voters to the ranks of independent thinkers is causing much alarm to erstwhile autocratic Republican bosses. In the case of the former they are resorting every means possible in an endeavor to stay the awful inflow to the camp of the enemy. The value of "Cuffy" was never an accident, but what he has shown a determination to think and act for himself in the matter of his suffrage. In the righteousness of their wrath over the treatment of the race at the Chicago mob in public life and affairs that heretofore have taken no part in politics who are proclaiming their condemnation of the republicans in the house and the church. The breadth and calibre of these men, aroused as they are purely by the outrages the race has suffered, are naturally beyond the influence of "fixers." This is making the situation doubly embarrassing to the Republicans who have no "dope" or sophistries with the Republican herder, who has so impudently brought himself to the fore in the championship of the rights and privileges of his misguided and impressionable brothers. The Republican of the Republicans, "We fought to free you," is lost upon deaf ears in the ranks of the new soldiers on the firing line who yell back at the mob with the debt with compound interest. "The fifteen dollars per week" demagogues, be it said to their discredit, are susceptible of the colored people and bosses of the Republican party as to how many votes they control (?) and what they can do by way of continuing in their campaigns, as to the termsters. Speaking of "representation" why is it the black man cannot get the representation his suffrage entitles him to vote in elections to chickens already cooped? If he will make himself an "uncinned" quantity in politics by voting his sentiments squaresly as he sees them for his best interests, regardless of the color of them, and not until then will he receive the consideration or share in the spoils to a measure commensurate with their numbers and strength as a political factor in the affairs of the country. Every colored voter should bear in mind the full danger the policies advanced by the party to garrid his future opportunities for a livelihood are holding out. If they succeed an average of one hundred and fifty Negroes would have without jobs. There are 92 counties in the state, this number multiplied by 150 gives the apalling figures of 13,500 that they hold without jobs. An estimate of eight Negroes to each county is a fair and very liberal average of the political representation handed out to this number of $12,500 per week variety, to maintain this pittance would sacrifice 13,500 families of an existence. Unless of course the sources of employment of 13,500 Negroes are striving to turn adrift the colored voters should see to it that they hold on to their jobs and to the party for the party and platform that offers them the best and greatest opportunity to live and take care of their families in the state. It is included from the trades unions. It is up to the voters to compare accounts. TURNED DOWN BY TAFT MEN. Colored Citizens Given Cold Shoulder at Louisville. Special to THE FREEMAN. LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Evidence of a political difference of opinion among local colored politicians seems to have been developed as a result of the Taft meeting in 1915, when the colored brethren say that when they attempted to take their places in the committee of escort for the nominee they were told by the Republican officeholders to talk out of the meeting, which they say they never found. Negroes who have persistently opposed Taft since the Brownville episode declare that they were not the speakers. One of the speakers at the Democratic rally, corner of North and Second streets last night was Congressman Watkins of Minden, La., who only spoke for a short time, and was the speaker of his turn came. Being from the South, the figures which he gave as to the prosperity of the colored people of the South is of peculiar interest at this time, as the Reconstruction victory will be against the interests of the colored man. If he has prospered in the South when the Democrats are in control, he argues that they will likewise prosper in power. He stated that although the larger part of the taxes were paid by the white people of the tax district, the school and their education paid for out of the tax fund just the same as the white children, and that the colored people were thus educating their children so deemed to take great interest in doing so. That they are making great progress in this line is shown by the fact that in 1900 there were 6,495,581. In 10 years old, then 3,220,878 were illiterate. That is, 70 per cent. In 1900 there were 6,495,581. Of these 2,553,194 were illiterate. That is 44 1-2 per cent., showing a decrease in illiteracy of 36 per The Negroes own 24,000 churches and their church property is valued at $27,400. The Negroes own 173,000 farms and own their own right to 173,000 farms and in charge of 746,000 farms, including those which they control as tenants. The Negroes will aggregate $300,000. For years they owned no property. They could not read nor write. They were thrown out on their own resources. Today they are super-users and only ask to be let alone and they will work out their own destiny. He stated that if the representation in the legislature vent the colored man from representation in national conventions, a privilege which he now seems to enjoy. After his speech last night several colored people believed he had the interests of the colored man at heart. A large part of the audience was composed of colored people who speakers and join heartily in the applause. They are thinking more seriously now than they have for a long time. Judge Parker, speaking in Baltimore, said the President, by the use of an old trick, had endeavored to cast suspicion against Governor Haskell, and, said he, "if there is one man in the country who has earned the right to be saved from prison, he must admit Jennings Bryan." The Baltimore Sun says: "At this the crowd jumped to its feet as one man and for two minutes there was the wildest kind of enthusiasm."—People's Recorder, Baltimore, Md. Ro. Moosewell claims that Senator Foraker is unfit to represent his State on account of failure to receive one of the corporations of his State. We wonder if Theodore Roosevelt ponders and thinks of the $100,000 he received for his campaign fund. This he does not, and this is his personal service from a corporation that he damned afterward. This money, mind you, was never returned. In order to be consistent, the money should have been given to the Jewel. From all accounts, he is at his old traits again, endeavoring to secure money from corporations.

He wired ahead to his particular friend, Mr. Roman, at the Southern: "Please get feed for thirty Elks at at noon." Mr. Roman evinced no surprise at this peculiar order, for King, being a lawyer, had to execute, and was apt to seize a lot of hogs, horses or any other thing subjected to action at law. Mr. Roman went around the town, and showed him the telegram, and they told him of corn and a big batch of hay—and this is what confronted the hungry hosts of hog when they reached the Southern Hot (Quick curtain and fanfare by drums.) Mrs. Celia M. Stewart, of Indianapolis, Ind., wife of the advertising manager of the Indianapolis Freeman, spent the summer with Mrs. Freeman H. M. Murray, of Alexandria, Va.

Reception cards, card parties, drives and river excursions were given in her honor, and Washington and the historic city of Alexandra, where she met After seeing all the sights in and about the nation's capital, Mrs. Stewart went to Philadelphia, to witness the ceremonies of the dedication of the home in Indianapolis. She spent several very pleasant days in Baltimore, attending the convention of the National Negro Association, and was accompanied East by her bright little son, Master Charles Glenn Stewart. The Rev. Ernest Lyon, Minister Resident and Counsel General of the United States at Monrovia, has been instructed by the state department to make a thorough investigation of the political, educational, cultural and social issues in the Liberian Republic, as a result of a conference between Secretary Root and Dr. Booker T.

A strong movement is on foot to have the our colored regiments of the army provide chief of staff to the regimental bands.

If these ‘performers’ were given a chance, many of these people who masquerade as Stars would soon find. themselves in. the Fanks, where they, belong. have the acquaintance of many young players of sblity that have been’ ground, th the dust through jealousy, and the publie is there- fore cheated of much that they” might have enjoyed were it not for the smail- ness of an actor. I know of an instance that happened last season. A’ young woman was’ asked to take the principal role in a. leading Negro. comedy. for one performance _on account of the illness of the star. She Proved to be a player of great ability and her future looked exceedingly bright. Upon investigation she found that no one needed her. “She Is a good singer, having been much applauded and” her blis_ of stage business ‘always won favor. ‘The management should have kept her and been glad that they found her. But they dismissed her because the Jealous-blooded star objected to her success and gave false knocks. ‘Phere is one thing that I always ad- mired about’ S. H. ‘Dudley and that was the encoufageemnt that he always gives the young performer by pushing him for- ward if there is anything’ to be gotten out of the individual. He seems to delight to give everyone a chance to show if there is"any. way possible to do so.” He does not Delieve. that practically every charac- fer btu one be "whittled down. until. it would be shown that the star had the full center of the stage at all times and the dummy parts given to the rest. I make mention of Mr. Dudley in this case mere- ly as one who does not believe in. the “star system” from the fact that Ihave known "a number” of young performers Whom he has placed on the ‘high road to success through his unselfishness. ‘Phe public. unger this “star” system” does not obtain full measure. But I sup- pose that not at all times are the white hianagers and owners to blame. Ofttimes there is a disposition on the part of ‘the “favorites of the star” to start a knock in the effort to arouse the feclines of the star so that a false complaint may be Sent in to the head manager and’ soon a dismissal follows of the innocent by: rea- fon'of’a grdge that the favorite ot the star had.

Eq Green ts to write a new play in which S, H. Dudley Is'to star next season. Now. does anyone realize that to write a successful Negro Comedy—one that will meet the approval of both races—is ‘a very arduous. task these, days and times. Considering the fact that Mr, Green is a very able play- wright I find so little for the Negro to Produce that he has not done already, Rnd Wwe are always. wanting something hew and original. As a matter of fact it ean be done by Me. Green, but veill the fines ‘run as in “The Black Politician? ‘That 1s. will the lines given Mr. Dudiey cause him to Work every moment of the performance ‘or will he he ‘given time to breathe? Te should at any rate be given some time to rest for the reason that if his managers expect him to hold out Tong they must realize that he should have fewer moments upon the stage than. In “The Black Politician.” What is one of the “main reasons for Ernest “Hogan's sudden breakdown? Some say it was due to age and exposure, Granting that, as fact, too, I belleve he could have lasted much longer had he not, been given so much hard work to do in “Rufus Rastus.” Coming. back to Mr. Green, T think he understands these situations’ thoroughly. Lately T have noticed that the Negro song writers have gone back. It seems that they have published ittie that has kained any. noticeable popularity. For Some years they have held the front seats but at the present tlme they ‘have not composed much of the popular music whieh we hear upon the streets. Right here ‘at home we have a writer in the person of Edward Stiggus, who is going fo make them hum from ail present ind cations.

Some of the best pugilistic news that has been given out for some time was announcement a few days ago that fighting will be resumed many years the ring goes but been dead in the metropolis of south, but under the arrangements announced, ten-round bouts will be per- missible. New Orleans at one time was one of the greatest fighting centers in the world. New Orleans that the Corbett, Bullian and the Fitzsimon Hafen took place. It was also there that the longest fight ever held in this country took place promoters who are to back these promoters will hold a ceremony across the river in Greens in a carriage nightlights. Already managers have been making notable progress in the country or some of the workers in the country I in a lovely season of ten-round I in the Crescent City this winter. The recent victory the Indianapolis Herreans over the Cincinnati Touch-McNots was largely due to the forward position Cincinnati took and Paul Owens. In this game it was demonstrated that the new rules served to make the new plays great for the new plays gave great communities to both sides to use real skill and not roughness for effective playing. In the Herks using the forward successfully it showed their strength in offense and defense. By reason of Kid McCoy's easy disposal of Big Jim Stewart in a friend of mine asked I think that McCoy had come into his own again, and I replied that if he had I could not see that he had become a friend of McCoy. Who is Big Jim Stewart? What if McCoy had swapped Stewart. That was nothing to show that the former Hoosier had regained his former physical power. Who is Big Jim until McCoy agreed to fight him a few days ago. Truns in my mind that Stewart is slim with the power bound to make some easy money and so proposed a match. McCoy is no more the man that he was when he fought Tommy Truns. McCoy is the man that Jeff Truns is. Stewart is not a "hasbeen," but he is a "neverwas." It is stated that Dan Patch, the champion pacer, is to be tried in several efforts to lower his record to 1.54 this season and it seems possible of poor trucks during bad weather. If Mr. Savage, the owner, will be a little more particular in allowing the great horse to appear in so many races, he will get down to real business, there is little doubt but Dan will make it all right. As I said before, fast miles on horse in a short time will ruin any horse in a short time. If this is abolished Dan will win. John L. Sullivan is the greatest freak on earth when it comes to dishing out abuse. Always and ever giving the public a day's rest and when one begins to look him over and look up history on John Lawrence Sullivan one is induced to laugh. Days after days after he should stop fighting colored men if he would become champion of the world. So Barry gives up and takes up a new line, a new color line, before he did so he would fight Sullivan Langford. And that's just the hitch of it. Barry should remember—as John L. the rest must know—that in order to come to be the Nero fighter because he is always on top where those whites that asquire for the championship must then and win if they want a reputation and come to be the favorite color. Look at Burns, for instance, John. Hasn't he run all over it, and won a great reputation, and people all over the world say that he must fight Jack Johnson, a black man, that they can fix it in their minds that he is the champion heavyweight of the world. WRESTLING MATCH: John Tholmer and Polo Steele are to join on Sunday, October 25, catch as many as possible under the umps of the New Orleans Mint Club. G. Wepner, promoter. L. Wepner, the hustling manager of Polo Steele, and Beamas is manager for John Tholmer. His matching match ever pulled off in New Orleans. Both men are coming gladiators. THOMPSON TO MEET UNHOLZ. WHICAGO. October 23.—Johnny Thomas with his manager, Larney Llechin leave tonight for California in the fight against Francisco, October 29. The bout originally held in Welsh, but the Briton called it the match with Unh邹 was closed earlier. The men will fight twenty pounds before the Lecarit club, weighing in at 133 pounds.

Sheppard, one of the greatest middle-distance and track athletes, says he is tired, wants a chance to play again, and Sheppard has been racing steadily for ten years and thinks it time to be a natural born runner, having been born that is wonderful. He has always been a running high school, ten years back. JOCKEY DIES IN POVERTY. NEW ORLEANS. La. October 21.—New Orleans, formerly one of the many cities in the country, and who plummeted in the Ogden home in the proximity of 1896 in here. He had been sent and out for some time and while the merry-go-round tracks were operating managed to get a mount occasionally, was thirty-one years of age and less than California. He also has some other relation there. He has been in the hospital for a month suffering from an incurable affliction. ANOTHER WALCOTT FIGHTS. PORTLAND, Me. October 23—Belfield Walcott, of Boston, and Tom Sawyer were roundes at the Pastime A. C. last Tuesday and the four last rounds brought the crowd to its feet. The colored man led most of the time but Sawyer always met him halfway and both men were covered with blood at the finish. He is not known as to whether this Walcott is or not relative of the famous Joe Walcott or not. NELSON FEARS PACKEY LOS ANGELES, October 23—Flight fans in this city and in San Francisco are clamoring for a match between Pack- McCairland and Battling Nelson, and they are demanding that the section of the country to force the Battler into a fight with the little Chicago Irishman, belief is becoming prevalent that Nielson would avoid him as much as possible. Nelson wired here last night that he wants to rest, and is not ready to fight for Nielson, and his accordance with the Dane's former moves for Nielson would rather fight than eat. CINCINNATI LOSES TO "HERCS." At the Cumminsville Baseball Park, Sunday, October 5, the Cincinnati Touchdowns ananapolis Herculean squad and was defeated a score of 14 to 6. Both teams played an interesting game, but the visitors easily won the local team by some excellent ball playing. Some features of the game were the long end runs by Owens and Clay of the Hercules, and the skillfully made by Capt. Elbert and Phil Owens of the Hercs. Clever punting was back in back Owens Lewis. Two touchbacks from Lewis's punts from the 55-yard line. PACER DAN PATCH'S PROGRAM. MINNEAPOLIS. October 21.—Dan Patch will but one or two, if any, during the harness racing season. The dueling will not be wasted in going fast miles over poor tracks in bad weather, and at inopportune speeds. The speed will be conserved for one night before establish a new world's record. This effort will be made at whatever time and place. This program for the champion harness horse is a radical departure from those or the last five years. It was decided to train it. W. Savage, only after mature consideration. RACING ASSURED IN CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, October 20—E. J. ("Lucky") Baldwin came in from his Anta farm and offered to wager $50,000 and $40,000 for a race track law will pass the next session of the Legislature. In addition Baldwin is willing to bet a couple of dollars in that California not follow in the footsteps of Eastern States and bar the racetrack—at least not for five years to come. "It will this season's racing compare with those of others?" was asked Baldwin. "Compare? There can't be much of a competition," he said. "Eclipse anything we have ever had out here. We expect to keep the track open the full five months, and some of the best races in the United States will be here," he declared. NO BOXING FOR PITTSBURG PITTSBURG, October 14.—In spite of the efforts of District Attorney Harry Goering to assist in reviving the boxing game in Pittsburgh the sporting men of Pittsburgh, years ago the mere announcement of a boxing tournament was sufficient to pack the house and make a fortune for the men who were promoting it, but for two years there has been no boxing and the men seem to have lost all interest in the ring. During the Susquehanna centennial celebration the police authorities relaxed a little and gave the sporting writers of the book a chance to see boxing entertainments. The most notable stars were "Unk" Russell and Harry Lewis. There was not a corporal's guard at either one of the fights, and it there was no corporal, has gone to the bow-wows in this city. REPUBLICANS WILL VOTE TO SUPPORT "JIM CROW" LAW. The Negro question is in the State campaign of West Virginia. The Democratic platform declares for "Jim" the state constitution for a new amendment the State constitution containing an educational qualification for voters. The largest part of the State is distinctly African American, and the general talk is that many Republicans intend to support the Democratic State ticket on the "Jim" platform. The State committee indicate that in the central and southern parts of the State the separate car proposition is hailed with great joy. Under the circumstances the New York will, as usual, go to the Republicans. SULLIVAN ADVISES JIM BARRY. BOSTON, October 23.—That was a hot one that our old friend John L. Sullivan handed to Jim Barry the heavyweight pugilist, to John L. Sullivan, the world’s champion. John L. told Barry that he should stop fighting colored men and confine his efforts to meeting white men in his class. John L. told Barry that he should be a champion,” adds Sullivan, “but you have been making a chump of yourself instead by meeting these black men. Barry took Sullivan’s knife to heart and would still draw the color line, but would like to beat Sam Langford before making the move. The sooner Jim gets the idea out of his head that he can beat Langford the second time, in the ring, Sam has it on the big white chap at every stage of the game and Barry’s showing against the Cambridge Negro in Chelsea. Boston and New York is pretty weak. Once made a decent showing Jim is said to have made a decent showing. NEW YORK AGAINST SHORT BOUTS. NEW YORK, October 23.—These six round bouts certainly seem to be a case of straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. If you have a gnat on your arm, you should fight for a purse for eighteen minutes, when it is practically impossible for a satisfactory decision to be reached. If the men are at a distance matched, the gnat is forbidden to give a decision, why should it be unlawful for the same two men to fight for the same purse until one of them was beaten, or why should it be a violation of law, if the gnat is to say which of them had the best of it? All of this comes of the recent bout between Leach Cross and Willie Fitzgerald. One expert says the other was wrong. Another expert says the East Sider had not repeatedly fouled the fighting Harp early in the game he would win hands down. Another expert is of the opinion that the Harp had fouls, and there you are. If we are to have fights in New York at all why not have a gnat on your arm, you should fight for the ring, instead of these tantalizing, unsatisfactory six-round affairs. NEGRO PRAYS. THEN WINS. WASHINGTON. October 22.—With their faces bruised and bleeding as the result of fistful encounters on the steamer Jane Misley, a little band of pugilists re- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER turned to this city early Tuesday morning after a series of bouts, which took place Monday night and were witnessed by the crowd. During the intermission a colored man was introduced as Stonewall Allen, "the old war horse" of the early seventies. He was dressed in a tuxedo, clasped his hands but he never flinched. He immediately challenged any man in the audience at 125 pounds. Allen said he was a preacher. The sight of the unmerciful beating gift of Stonewall Allen was too much for Joe Lloyd was too much for Stonewall's fighting spirit and he pulled off his coat, exclaiming that he would put the gloves on with the vicotr. Lloyd refused to go and Stonewall was arranged between the preacher and Alec Brown, who had previously knocked out Henry Williams. Allen had prepared on the gloves, knelt down on the gloves, knelt down before the shouting men and indulged in a few words of prayer. The crowd, thinking that the preacher had been beaten, called for the bout to commence. Immediately Allen jumped into the ring, and although outweighed, easily beat his opponent and was awarded the decision at the end of a heated round. Brown's face resembled a wet stone. By vicious left books to the jaw and short jabs on the body, Kid Egan of this city succeeded in knocking out Johnny Shot of Baltimore in the ninth round. Baltimore pummed him. Alec Brown easily demonstrated his superiority over Henry Williams, who saw the light of day somewhere west of the Ohio river. The next fight was of his own making, which Joe Lloyd, the Flighting Coachman, handed sixteen-year-old Johnny Tufts an amuerric beating. The deck resembled a slaughter-house flap and the referee, James J. Shugue, looked as though he had been butchering cattle. CARPENTER IS SUSPENDED British Sports Say the Sentence Is for Life. NEW YORK, October 22—The British Amateur Athletic Association has "suspended Carpenter for life." This means that Carpenter can't run in England or play a practical suspension of athletic relations between England and America. English athletes will not be allowed to compete against Carpenter or against any athlete who sports with Carpenter after the "suspension." This action of the British sporting authorities is quite a joke on our local mogus. We can Survive, after returning England, more about taking a mail vote on the question of suspending relations with the British A. A. A. The mail vote probably died a natural death, for it hasn't been heard of in England. Most British friends have jumped in ahead of us. The "suspension" of Carpenter brings no discredit to him. It is merely a trick to get the authorities to track—to make people think there must have been some honest reason for disqualifying Carpenter in the 400-meter race at the Olympic games. The British officer will weep bitter tears when he learns that he will never be allowed to enjoy the British brand of hospitality again. Of course. W. J. Jackson, a Negro, was lynched by members of his own race near Hernando, Miss. Jackson, it is said, was discovered while attempting to remove a bale of cotton, the property of another man of his race. He was seized and hanged by the mob while being taken to jail. Rev Samuel Armstead, a Negro, aged 19, was Secretary of state for Louisiana during the Civil War. Shreveport, La., recently. He could neither read nor write. During his latter years he earned a living marrying Negro couples, 5,000 marriage returns bearing his name. He was being slaves West Virginia, and was brought to Louisiana from Louisville, Ky. TUSKEGEE'S TRIUMPH. Booker Washington wants to double the endowment of Tuskegee. He appeals to the results of the endeavors there to support his plea. He reports calls for the endowment of the school and women as the school is able to turn out. His annual report to the trustees tells of an enrollment of over 1,600 students, of 165 instructors and helpers, of 1,000 students allowed as closely as possible, of board for students figured down to less than 6 cents a meal. More suggestive yet, he indicates $145 as the amount in cash paid to the students for the endowment not counting labor. Under the theory of the ancient saying, "A tree is known by its fruits, the Washington experiment he has successed. The graduates of the institution are making good in the world. There is a place ready for every one as he finishes his course. And each one as he goes to work in the workers at Tuskegee begins at once to try to help less favored members of his race wherever he settles. Nothing but praise greets the master of the school as he travels through the South and sees his COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE State of Indiana, Marion County, ss: In the circuit court of Marion County, in the circuit court of Indiana, Susie Thompson vs. James D.
