VOTE FOR THE GOOD OF THE RACE. MAKE FRIENDS WITH INDIVIDUALS. PARTIES ARE NO LONGER INCLINED TO PROMOTE THE WELFARE OF THE NEGRO. THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VOLUME XXI NUMBER 44 REASONS FOR A DIVISION SET FORTH IN PLAIN AND EFFECTIVE TERMS Idle Talk of Misinformed Persons—The Changed Attitude of Republican Party The Denver Platform Invites All. By advocating a division of the Negro population I have called down upon the Republican Party both white and colored; the New York Age, an influential colored paper, which represents the office holders of the administration and the Republican party, and which influence that I may have of late it has been filled with ripplement and gross misrepresentation. Since I have assumed the task of the crowd behind it are so well known, I care nothing for its vaporous fulminations. This paper greatly misrepresents me and assumes the task of the Negroes who are eligible to the franchise to vote the Democratic ticket. I want nothing of the kind, and I have never in speech or writing ever, however, like to see a sufficient number over to Democracy to command consideration from that party, a number sufficient to assure the election of Mr. Bryan. The great champions of human liberty manhood rights who founded the Republican party, and silent minority many years ago. Men like Fremont were crushed out of men like Greely and Summer were shaken out of it; while equally conspicuous and shaken out of it. There men like Julian were shut out of the party; there men were the founders of the Republican party. Great was its voice, Summer and Julian's great was its voice, Fremont was its first candidate for President, but because he dared to attempt to free the within his lines, be being a commander of a division of the Union Army, was summoned to the Republican administration. Summer was out of the party during the Grant administration because he dared oppose the Republican party. Domingo Julian followed Greely and was summoned afterwards shut out from the party councils. The great body of the Republican party up of men like Sherman, Trumwell and up of men like Sherman, Trumwell and up of men like Sherman, none of whom were saviors—men of the institution of being opposed to the extension of institution into new territory. In the days our fathers, these two types of leaders recognized as conservatives and radicals, The early attitude of the South, with regard to the freedman, tended to place that section in a defenseless position before the institution. In 1884, and since Congress were enabled to enforce the passage of all the reconstruction legislation. The death of Stevens, in 1888, and of Johnson, in 1890, out a leader, and amid the clamor for amnesty and general forgiveness, the radical element was totally eliminated as a part of the radical act that Congress ever passed on the Negro question was the Civil Rights Bill, enacted as a compliment to the imposition of the law, which was afterward declared unconstitutional by a Republican Supreme Court. Since that time the Republican party has been forced away from the principles for which, the law supposed to have stood. Instead of a firm stand in justification of the legislation passed by the reconstructionist, the party has appealed to the apology for its own acts. President Lincoln, its great exponent, at times was compelled, or necessity, to do what was done, and to abolish the institution of humanity. And for thirty years this party has not only been permitting, but actually encouraging the nullification of all the legislation for which it was held responsible. Finding our cause without support in the Republican party, these rights have been so attacked until now, in some places, by the Republican party citizens. Years ago the Republican party ceased to make the Negro question a party issue. If the party pretends to be a champion of the equality of all before the party, it is out to be deprived of its rights, and this party fails to come to the defense of such an oppressed race or class, it is no better than the party that inaugurates the act. The Republican party has not only permitted the Negroes of the South to be deprived of all their rights as citizens, but for the past decade has been actually enjoined to constrain the organization in this section, that stands for the elimination of colored men. The dulest man can see at a glance the difference between the party as represented by Stevens in 1888, and Hitchcock 1908. With the Republicans encouraging the repudiation of laws intended to equalize the rights of the poor, the program of repudiation complete, certainly the Negro is justified in considering hard and fast allegiance to any party on his part dissolved, so some man prior to deliver the harm to the speaker, rather than read history and thus learn that the Grand Old Party of their childhood dreams consisted of a few children who lived a public life fifty years ago, and which said Grand Old Party, or the most of what was left of it died before 1877, the speaker is compelled to admit that Democratic sins of commission are little less grave than the Republican sins of omissions of commission. The Democratic speaker issue with the Democrats on the Negro question it was natural that the Negro voter should make that the paramount issue be the one the rant him invoking the whole ticket. But this question is no longer an issue, and certainly not in this campaign; there is another question between the two parties on this question. It must be kept in mind that the issues, or the supposed issues in the present case, are the control of trusts; (3) injections in labor disputes; (4) imperialism; (5) guaranteed bank deposits. What should be the attitude on these several questions? It is considered that most farmers and producers of raw material are against a high tariff, because a high tariff means a limited market and a limited strict market is bad enough, the situation becomes particularly grave when combinations and cliques of manufacturers, farmers, market owners and manipulate affairs so as to enable them to fix the price the producer or farmer is to receive for his stuff. A majority of us are farmers; ours is high tariff. Even if the mechanic and the mill hand feel the effects of the tariff on wages, the Negro, who is shut out from the factory and mill is affected but remotely, because these combinations or the trusts and combinations, which have resulted from high tariff? To those who reason that these combinations or the trusts or not, and conceding that they have grown up and flourished under Republican administration must be inclined to put more faith in the promise of Republicans, under whose regime trusts have sprung up and flourished. One only has to consider whether or not trusts are undesirable and inimitable as to this; both Republicans and Democrats agree that they are harmful and vicious. Everybody remembers how rapidly trusts multiplied immediately in the country in 1896; practically every important industry in the country went into or formed some sort of trust within a year after November. 1896. The Republican party has been unable to persuade for these evils. Year after year this party has been put into power; it has had the chance to prevent the conditions now complained of, or to remedy the conditions exist is proof that they have not been prevented. Year after year they have promised reforms before election, and the conditions being put into office. They have never kept faith with any but the capitalist, who put up the money to secure their election, and Mr. Harriman doesn't think the administration has even kept faith with the legislature. As to the use of injunction in labor disputes, Judge Taft, the Republican candidate for the presidency, brought the matter to the attention of the judge, who is ruling while serving as judge. Since that time labor organizations have been protesting so vigorously against such rulings by courts that the whole question was forced upon the parties and made an issue. The judge may have taken up the issue, the acceptance of it by the Republicans was naturally reluctant. This is shown by the halting, word juggling manner which they have taken in their hand. At all events, this plank has but little interest for any but labor unions. It certainly can but effect us Negroes very remotely. The Republican party has been in undisputed power for so many years now that the analysis business is disturbed. If voters listen to such INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1908. BROWNSVILLE CASE AWFULL ROOTS SAVE A DISGRACE I'm YOUR FRIEND! I PLEASE JOY. STAND BY THE PARTY. SO AM I YOUR FRIEND TAFTOPHONE SHAYWOOD Receiving the Latest Campaign Tunes Receiving the Latest Campaign Tunes. There is much being said about the plank in the Republican platform, which relates to the Negro, in contrast to what it means for the white people to the silence of the Democratic platform on the Negro issue. If the Republican platform does not mean any more this year than it meant in the year 1904, then it is only a matter of time before the Negro plank in platform, care for the Negro Southern representation was read. I shouted with the shouters, thinking that the party, meant what it said. It was more than a matter of time before the velt repudiated the Negro plank and it was never heard of after, until just before the close of Congress this year, when it was made a rider of the Publicity Bill, which was passed as the fate of the Negro platform in 1904. And who islstere now that believes the Negro plank of 1908 will meet with a better fate? The Republican party has made its Negro voters. Will some of its critics point out one party plaque made to the Negro in that time that has been kept secret? The platform at Denver says: "We invite the co-operation of all, regardless of previous party affiliation or past differences, who desire to preserve a government that is free from rom society a reed commensurate with his contribution to the welfare of society." If the invitation to "all" and to "each citizen of the United States," the Negro, then I fail to understand the English language. Besides this, teh platform says, "We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and humane abridgement, home and abroad, and to use all persecution to secure for them, whether native born or naturalized, or without distinction of race, to abridge the rights of those two planks in the Democratic platform are broad enough, comprehensive enough, enough to negroes. Every Negro who thinks he has the least affidance with the Democratic party in the next election, will attend at Denver of which Mr. W. T. Ferguson was the spokesman and request of the Democratic committee that it put nothing in the platform concerning there is nothing in the platform direct then it is our fault that nothing appears. Let our critics point their guns on the committee and not on the Democratic party. When ten young white men were dismissed from West Point the matter was reconsidered by the President, who stated guilty, that he did not like to blast the future of ten such promising young men. It was clear, what about the future of one hundred young splendid young Negro men? Is it nothing to blacken the future of black men? I cannot understand why black men should be allowed to know when we are outraged and insulted? Are we, as a race, so lacking in the finer sensibilities that we do now when we are outraged and insulted? If we are incapable of recognizing an injustice, Jehovah is not, and he will hold us accountable for this crime. If we have a spark of manhood and courage left we will resent this injustice at the polls next November. We have stood up so nobly for the black man as did Senator Foraker in the debate in the Senate last winter over the Brownsville case and done all that lies in his power to destroy this "noblest Roman of them all." Shall the Negroes of this country, by their own effort, be fixed a crime upon the race for centuries to come—for this was done in the discharge without honor of our brave boys in blue, by their own effort, to owe them his candidate, Mr. Taft, an uninfamous and underhanded way The columbia state of South Carolina opens its doors and invites us in, and says in doing so, "We are the stevens, General Gordon, Senators Zeb, Vance and Mat Ransom, of North Carolina, and others.

Betha, of Terre Haute. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 28.—When Mr. Henry Watterson wrote a column and Mr. Henry Watterson on the occasion of Bishop Alexander Walter, the clerics began look with interest and prepare to hear New York's distinguished prelate. This bright, intelligent and able minister was given worldly words, the clerics began look with interest and prepare to hear the largest Negro audience ever assembled at a political meeting. His address has caused more comment than any Negro in the country, and he came as a true blue Kentuckian, brave and fearless, and spoke to 900 people, and was given a most respectful hearing. His presence published the Lousiana Courter-Journal and began on the page and took up seven columns, which set a precedent in this direction. He spoke to white and black alike, and after his interview he grasped his hand, telling him that he was solving the political destiny of the Negro. He also spoke at Bardstown, in the court house, over all and black heard him, although other meetings were planned to draw the crowd. Every intelligent and respectable Negro on the city has read or heard of the speeches and discussions of the public sideration. It has caused hundreds to think, and much uneasiness to the Republican leaders. Mrs. Rudolph Schaefer, of Chicago, Ill., is in the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cole, 1769 West Chestnut street.

THE BUILDERS All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of time; Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low, Nothing that is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise Time is with materials filled; Our to-days and yesterday Are the blocks with which we build Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen; Make the house where gods may dwell, Beautiful, entire and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time; Beautiful, entire and unseen; Stumble as they seek to climb. Build to-day, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall to-morrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turmere where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain And one bounded sky. — Henry W. Longfellow. IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS Miss Ida Groves, daughter of J. G. Groves, the potato king, of Edwardsville, Missouri, and the city. It means that Miss Groves has inherited some of her successful father's qualities, and is becoming a factor in the success of the step, and it is hoped that it is an example to be followed by many of the young women of our race. Do not sit still and wait for some one to "hand" you the chance to sit, but make the opportunity for yourself. KEEP YOUR BODY CLEAN. Many times in this column your attention has been called to the fact that it is very necessary that special attention be given to the gymnasium teacher (white) held a conference with each colored girl and told her that it is a "hobby," but it is not. At one of the high schools of this city last week the gymnasium teacher (white) held a conference with each colored girl was very offensive; not a colorful explainer but a large number, and that they must "wash." Do you wonder that I should speak of this matter often, lest some one ask: What excuse can be offered for neglecting one's self to that extent? The duty of every mother is to teach her daughters that they must look after the condition of their bodies, and that used religiously there will be an offensive odor, and very offensive, too. What can hinder one from taking a daily scrub? Soil is the cheapest article on the market, and the scrubber at Body Health will supply you), and water is free. Every one has a fire and tubs are always an asset of every family. If your supply of underclothing is cold, then you must keep the ottener, but do keep clean, for everybody's sake. WOMEN IN POLITICS. Suffrage for women is causing much agitation at this time. Personally, I am opposed to it for many reasons. The women of the Nra are the most important of our men. I hope they will never be given them; anyway, not until they are taught how to use it. What would be more ridiculous than a "petticoated curbstone politician," one who disturbs them, they fail to voice what they think is right. At a recent meeting in Indianapolis women were used as tools to cause disturbances to ti unions and horns, in order to widen the ranks of people could teach them something. They say that they want their rights; then why not allow any American citizen the same privilege. Women will look much better if they study the issues of the day, come in position, and speak out against the rage and intelligently with the voters of their own family and bring to bear on them that it is a duty to stand by individuals whom they know will look up to. "that the law must be obeyed." It is the same spirit which is displayed by many of the Negroes that was the cause of the many mobs, so detrimental. Lawlessness is the result—the destruction of the government. Of course, there are women of our race who constitute the highest of all that is good and right, but they are in the minority. You can be a woman of race. "It is up to the women" to bring them up to the standard by example and precept in the home, where she reigns supreme. Let your hand be seen in the caring hands, who care for you in a few short years, to that husband who comes home tired out with the cares of trying to support the family. Read to him or let your conversation be of the current events rather than the small gossip. You can all men with whom you associate let your life of right reflect. WOMAN AUTHOR GIVES COUNSEL TO BEGINNERS After considering the subject of "To Write or Not to Write" from all its sides, I asked the students of lectures at the First Baptist Church at Indianapolis, gave this advice: "If you feel you have a message, keep it simple." Clark spoke from the standout out of the writer, and gave many of her own personal experiences, both as a writer and editor. She began with the mechanical parts of the manuscript, saying: "If you wish to make a good impression you put on your good clothes and look your best, so if you want to make it attractive." Among the points of advice she gave were "write about the things you know about, a laundry, machinery, or anything, just give it the real Where to send it? Not to the crowded popular periodicals, but try a new one. Club of the Atlantic as one place. One of the things she said about the short story is: "Study the short stories in the magazines. The style of the short story changes as often as the magazine." In her remarks about discouragements she told of how "Looking Backward" was rejected by eleven editors and of "Bem-Hun" being a slow Presidential candidate in the clairat race of the story in one of his speeches, which gave it the advertising needed. "You will never know how many people write, so shall you write or publish your magazine. Be faithful to your Indiana writers. The best way to show your friendship for a writer is to buy his books." She then told an experience woman who was a club. The president introduced her by saying: "I am sure you have heard of Mrs. Clark's stories. She writes very pretty stories. We have one of them in our public library and I got it from her. She has a very pretty story. Mrs. Clark paid a very pretty magazine editors of the country by saying, "How fortunate for America that its magazines are in the hands of good men." Mrs. Clark said, are spontaneity, feeling, humanity, sincerity and personality. She advised everyone to keep a notebook and jot down thoughts, bits of conversation or description, to use only in writing letters to a friend. WHAT FASHION SAYS. One-piece frocks will be popular. Taupe is the ruling shade in hats. Satin has the greatest vogue in its history. Pearl and crystal beads have returned to favor. The fur felt hat is coming again to its own for winter wear. Silk will be much worn not only for linings, but in dresses. Picturesque effects prevail among ever-fing and even daytime toilettes. The separate coat of velvet will be one of the features of the winter. The tendency for soft and clinging skirts now extends to children's wear. There are lots of turndown collars, fastened with horseshoes or rhinestones. The plaid suit or kilted plaid skirt has been adopted by leaders of Paris fashion. Hair ornaments are large, the newest barrets being from two to three inches wide. Unlined taffetas or standard colors in good qualities are the ones that bear washing. Moire silk has appeared in the market as the foundation of some of the most exquisite hats. The big Pierrot ruffle has completely fallen from grace at all the smart watering places abroad. Hat flowers, such as roses, poppies and pond lilies, are made from tissues, satins, silks, velvets, etc. A color that is having great success is a beautiful light and rich brown that is classed among the suedes. Dull colored lines with velvet, silk or kid collars and cuffs of darker hue will be worn well into the autumn. The main characteristic of the gown of the present day is the silhouette of a carriage slender proportion and the high waist line. CLUB ORGANIZED. A branch of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, which is made up of the women of various churches, has been organized at Salisbury, the University of Maryland, and Mrs. Rosco D. Agnery, president; Mrs. Wiley E. Dodge, Jr., Mrs. Annie Wiseman, Mrs. Fannie Mason and Mrs. Moses Hargrove, vice-presidents; Mrs. Maggie W.

He has been a skilled sketch is taken from Boston papers and affords some idea of her marked services to her race; Mrs. Waterloo B. Snelson graduated from Atlanta University in the class of 1889 and received a degree in public schools for several terms; later was co-principal of the Athens High School. Mrs. Snelson was awarded "permanent teacher's license" for the State of Georgia, and was the director of Peabody Institutes, which are school teachers, by the State School Commissioners of Georgia for several years. She is the founder of the Athens Woman's Club, Georgia; founder and charter president of the San Francisco Orphans' Home, California; members Ways and Means Committee of the National Association of Colored Women" and is connected with many other humanitarian Mrs. Snelson is a elading member of the Cambridge, Mass., Charity Club; of the University, Women's Guild of Boston, and editor of the Northeastern, the quarterly magazine and official paper of the Northeastern Federation of Women's United States representing 200,000 leading women her race, she is an official of the women's missionary Societies. Tea is a germicide, says a Boston physician, who claims it is an especially rank enemy of the typhoid bacillus.

Contributions that are in accordance with Mussolini's instructions, the Ottoman morals are gratuitely received. Miss Cornelia Sorabji, a Parisee, who was a professor at Oxford, has just published a book. She is legal adviser to the government of India in cases in which the zenana and the indica are used in the material for her book was collected in this way. She calls the book "Between the Twilight; Studies of Indian Women." Turkish women are frequently well educated. Their lives of seclusion encourage study and they pass the long winter evenings and develop their way. Many are excellent linguists, and Pierre Lott tells that they are well acquainted with the world of languages. They are often very versed in ancient classics, and they eagerly read modern novels, especially of the morbid, erotic novels, and give group of poems of the world a word increase their content; they are also intensely envious of their Christian and Jewish sisters. The William Smith College for Women in connection with Hobart College has just been formally opened. The funds for the new college were given by William Smith College, and the speakers on the occasion of the opening said that if the new institution had been made co-educational he was surer there would have been a more diverse group of speakers on the occasion of the opening. There were several women among the speakers. One of the dormitories is named for Dr. Kemal Dormitory, a graduate from a medical college in this country, an alumna of Hobart. There were nineteen women in the last Finnish Parliament; in the new Parlia- ment there are twenty-five. Nine of them are married and sixteen are widows, or single. Six were sent by the old Finnish party, the young Finns sent two, the Swedish party sent three, the Social Democrats thirteen and the Agrarian party one. One is the wife of a clergyman, one the wife of a doctor, six are school teachers, two are editors of women's papers, one a factory inspector, two dressmakers, one the wife of a workingman, four organizers, one for different political parties, two the wives of peasants and one a doctor of philosophy. Domestic servants are hard to get in Buenos Aires, because in that city writes that the question is "the one grave preoccupation of the women of the federal capital, and the staple of conversation at the midday reunions." In describing the servant of Buenos Aires, the writer says: "I COLD, housemaid waitress, chambermaid or nurse, individually and collectively, they are the speck on the ripe fruit of domestic felicity, the fly in the ointment, anything and everything you please that is bad and slovenly and unrestworthy, everything save good servants."

AGAINST "JIM CROWISM." Proceeds Against Railroads That Dis criminate Against the Colored Poor WASHINGTON, D. C.—President Roosevelt has given new evidence that he is determined that the railroads of the country that take advantage of their pre-publication availability to the law requiring equal accommodations to all who pay the same fare. The Interstate Commerce Commission, through its attorney has districted proceedings in the middle district between Tennessee for an injunction to restrain the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad from further obedience to the commission's orders, and also from further disobedience between colored and white passengers. These are the proceedings ordered by the President in the early part of the present year against this and other railroads which have been most insistent in their discrimination.

Warner October 4 to represent the state of Michigan at the National Negro Fair Association of Mobile, where it will hold an exhibition in the fall of 1809. The company has already raised $250,000 for its purpose, and will ask Congress for a like amount. Mr. Taylor will attend a meeting of the Association in Mobile in November. _____ In Virginia there are owned and con- trolled by colored people four banks: The True Reformers' Insurance Company, in Richmond, employs about eight clerks and stenographers, with a surplus of $80,000 in business in thirty states.

While we believe as Fred Douglas said: Individuals emigrate, but nations never, the fact that they are not significantly significant. When a goodly number have gone there it is possible that England's attention will be forcibly called to the atrocities upon the American Negro here, and the African American and the Afro-American and the African, the Cuban Negro, the Filipino and all, would aid England—even the Negroes in the United States—using purely on this account if the foreign nation was reprimanding this nation. NEGRO PUNISHED FOR LAZINESS Special to THE FREEMAN. PENDLETON, Ore.—Because he would name Jackson, Ore. was offered to him, George Jackson, collar man, hospital here with four bullets in his body and death only a few hours distant. Jeremiah Jackson, her colored man, who the shooting was at, shot the shooting was done at Hermiston this afternoon. The two colored men were at the place of our living together at that place, and the quarrel, with its tragic consequences, was the result of Jackson's refusal to work, the provision of the provisions used by the household. Brooke emptied his revolver into Jackson's augue, used the bullet passed through Jackson's abdomen, another shattered a shoulder blade and lodged in the chest, a third injured the spinal column and lodged in the shoulder, which took off the middle finger of his left hand. FEDERAL OFFICE HOLDER OPPOSING TAFT. PIQUA, O.—The defection of our vote in this county has taken a more decided tone since a meeting of the Independent Civic League at Troy recently, where Dr. C.江仁孝 of Washington, D. C., a federal officer who was here visiting, spoke. He said: "I saw a letter written by Roosevelt to the Brownville inquiry committee, in which he wrote that he would not be allowed a colored man would say, and that we were not allowed a Republican, but I am not for Roosevelt or his man Friday, Taft, and I hope every colored man wants justice, not office. They may threaten me with a loss of my federal rights and all that, but they cannot scare me away from my dutty to my own people." GOVERNOR HUGHES SIDESTEPS. Thomas Wallace Swann Puts Pointed Question to the Chief Executive. When Gov. Hughes arrived in Bloomington, Ill., the other day he was handed a written question as to his attitude on the Brownsville question. He answered as follows. "To the Hon. Chas. Evans Hughes, 'Dear Sir—During the course of your addresses to the citizens of Bloomington today, will you kindly make answer to the following questions? In writing with the spirit of Republican principles to deny the right of trial before conviction, as Senator Joseph Benson Foraker alleges was done in Presidential Roe v. Wade, the instance of the discharge of Twenty-fifth United States Infantry Regiment. This question is asked in all sincerity by one of your fellow citizens and an admirer of your frankness in dealing with public affairs. Very politely, THOMAS WALLACE SWANN, Secretary to Right Reverend Alexander Wiley of New York. The Daily Belfort of that city says regarding the incident: During Gov. Hughe's visit here yesterday, a colored gentleman handed the government a written question. The governor took it and handed it to the colored man wanted to know if the New York executive approves of concession before trial, which Senator Forallis said.

SATURDAY, OCT. 31, 1908. Vote for your friends; if they are Republicans vote for them; if they are Democrats vote for them. It is up to you. Take your time, look up your friends on the respective tickets. Now is the time to prove that you are thinking. Don't think your friends can't be Republicans. There will be some elder but wiser ones after next Tuesday—all will not win. And when one thinks of what a fine lot of fellows they are, can't help but think that it is a pity that they all can not. The effort to break up the meeting held by the colored independent voters last Thursday evening was a very bad piece of business. ePrhaps those engaged in it did not mean very much. But how do the people know that they didn't mean very much? Campaign been kind of dryish. Yes, cigars will not be such a large item in the expense account this year. That is, we think not, basing our judgment on our personal experience. As far as we have observed, the candidates are not keeping "open house" this campaign. It is now apparent that the race question is above partisan politics—aside from it, not of it. When you go to the polls next Tuesday keep the fact well in mind. Vote in the name of friends for the race, everything else being equal. Consider men in local affairs, governmental policies in national affairs. Last Friday was spoken of as hangman's day. Itha d reference to Louisiana, where four Negroes were the victims of the rope, and aso one in Illinois. All were legally executed, which is the better thing. It was a most gloomy Friday, however, in that they were all Negroes, making it look bad, asi f the rope were their special "instrument." The unveiling of the monument erected in memory of ex-President Benjamin Harrison last Teusday was a memorable occasion. The event was made impressive by the ceremonies, in which figured many distinguished citizens. The parade was imposing, and which included the G. A. R. posts of the city, thus honoring the late General Harrison, who had also seen service in the field. The monument is of beautiful design as if in keeping with the reverence and regard in which his memory is held. Disturbing political meetings by colored people or by any people is very bad business. That kind of thing was quite common twenty years ago. It is not expected in this day. Here's a case where the race wants to be protected against its friends. Doubtless those who arranged the speakers thought they were helping the race, helping to keep it respectable, unconscious of the higher laws, writ as it were, among the stars that the individual has no keeper beyond the individual, when not imposing on another or when not infracting the common laws. "It is conservatively estimated that 100,000 bushels of coal have been taken from surface mines in Pendleton township, this county, this fall. The usual crop is causing coal dealers in this vicinity to go out of business. Farmers from all parts of the surrounding country have taken advantage of the dry season, which has been instrumental in developing the coal fields in the beds of creeks which are dry. The vein which furnishes the coal is twenty-two inches deep and can be uncovered by plows and scrapers. It is then loaded directly from the "mines" into the farmers' wagons." What's that about the ill wind? It made good here. These are the days of charges and counter-charges, as the last days of campaigns generally are. The np-the-sleeve cards which have been purposefully held back until the most opportune moment, are now being played thick and fast. Already Mr. Gompers declares that President Roosevelt is attacking labor in defending the injunction principle set forth by the Republics at Chicago. Vice-Presidential Nominee Sherman is charged with having been mixed up in a gigantic land deal whereby he was to come in possession of thousands of acres of land for a trifling part of the true valuation. The political gossip-monger is now at his best, eagerly anticipating further eye-opening informa- tion whic his generally included in the whirlwind finish. SHALL WE BE MEN POLITICALLY? For forty old years the Negro has been free. For a similar period of time he has been entitled to the elective franchise. Likewise during the intervening period schools established by our Northern friends and Southern neighbors and friends have worked industriously to lower our rate of illiteracy and teach us to thing for ourselves. With these "forty years in the wilderness" behind us, is it not time that we should think for ourselves? Is it not time that we rise above the place where a person can look into the city directory and tell the politics of every voter of the race? Is it not time that we should exercise our "great intelligence" and "wonderful progress" so discriminatingly that no candidate for office will flippantly and insultingly remark that men of our race who refuse to support him do so from their love of strong drink, which he claims is stronger in the breast of the Negro than the love for his wife? In fine, has not the hour arrived when we should cease to be "political children," as Mr. Taft puts it, and walk out as men, vote as our conscience direct us whether that vote be for the Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Prohibitionists, or what not?—The Nashville Globe. WHAT IS THE COLORED VOTER THINKING? The brief time in which the voter has between this and election day to "pull himself together" and to decide just how he will cast his vote, makes it necessary for him to do some "tall" thinking. This campaign offers a rare time for the independent voter. The charges and counter-charges that are rife in both old parties cause the public to look on and to wonder as to the outcome, and which way the wind will waft the greater influence. As usual, the colored voter is the factor to be secured. He is the man who seemingly holds the balance of power, or, in other words, he holds the key that may possibly unlock the door to a landslide. Thus it is within his power, and he has the special privilege and chance to be equal to the occasion—an occasion which offers him the right of independence, the right of throwing off the yoke of allegiance, and of being a man among men. While the fight in Indiana is waging strong, there is also in Ohio a battle of more than ordinary interest to the colored voter. Senator Foraker, the man who has stood up so courageously for the rights of the colored soldiers in the Brownsville affair, has not slackened his efforts, but is still determined to make himself heard, and his gallant fight in behalf of the colored soldiers to be recognized from the head of the nation. This is one incident which the colored voter can ponder between this and election day. When he has seen the autocratic way in which all efforts to give him a hearing in the Brownsville riots have been brushed aside, and how the appeals of Mr. Foraker to give the colored soldiers a fair and impartial trial have been petulently, insolently and defiantly opposed and thwarted, then the colored voter can form his own opinion and judge for himself as to just how he should act when it comes to voting. He need not be influenced by any bias, but simply by conditions and facts as they have existed, and exist now. The colored voter is not sharing in the loaves and fishes of public benefits, and he does not care to share in them if he is to be looked upon as a sort of charity petitioner and to have dinky emoluments doled out to him as a reward for his vote. He stands above that kind of "recognition," but at the same time he does not want to appear to be arrogant nor try to "push" himself into circles that may be considered "immaculately" sacred. All he asks is a chance to be a plain citizen, with plain rights, and an opportunity to delve in the mines of the nation's development, and not to be considered merely the "handy adjunct" in election times. Let him think between this and election day! STRAIGHT VOTING. We regret to see that the Republican campaign managers, who are very much disturbed over the prospective defeat of their county ticket, are doing everything in their power to make scratching difficult, or impossible. Their idea, of course, is that men who want to vote for Mr. Taft will not go to great trouble to scratch, and that if they throw obstacles in the day of independent voting, many Republicans will vote the whole Republican ticket, lest by scratching the local Republican candidates they may vote against Taft. For the first time, we believe, there are to be no headings for the State, county and township tickets. Thus scratching will be a more difficult and dangerous process, and that, we have no doubt, is the object in view. Mr. Hugg, one of the election commissioners, says that the law does not require that these titles be placed on the ballots. But as it does not forbid it, and as it has been the usual practice to print them, and as they are a great convenience, they should have been retained. The object is plain enough. It is to force Republican voters to vote the straight Republican ticket in the hope that the county candidates may be pulled through. Of course, this is the smallest sort of politics. It is not only the people's privilege, but their duty to exercise a wise discrimination. But the proposition is to force them and all others to vote against Taft if they insist on voting against the Republican county ticket, or else vote for the Republican county ticket when they vote for Mr. Taft. The theory is that men will abandon their purpose of cutting the county ticket if they find that by so doing they may lose their vote for Mr. Taft. The scheme is perfectly transparent. Whether it will work or not we do not assume to say. But we do say that it should not have been resorted to. Everything possible should be done to make it easy for the people to vote, and for them to vote their true sentiments. That is their right. died in and it is one that can not be taken from them without, we believe and hope, rousing their resentment. The resort to it is a palpable confession of weakness.—It the Indianapolis News. there are too many of these "few," giving color to the theory that the whole race is intolerant, narrow and mean—much of this disposition must be cut out. A man nor men are to be THE COLORED VOTERS. The campaign has been waged to a finish. The minds of most men are made up as to what they will do on election day. It stands to reason that most colored men have also made up their minds. They are set down as Republican; as a rule they are Republicans. Many, however, this year have been thinking. They have begun to see that their salvation can not come through politics, as politics, as understood today. Their struggle is different to that of any other people. With them the question is how to best promote the race's welfare. It was formerly thought that political parties could do this, and not without reason, since liberties enjoyed came through political upheaval. The Negroes have clung to the party that was most active in their defense. Force has played its part; it has done the utmost possible in a government where the majority rules. What follows in the future will be the outcome of the relations between the races, whatever that outcome may be. If the relations are cordial we may expect the best conditions to follow; if they are hostile we may expect friction, friction all of the time, and nothing scarcely less than friction. And the pity of it is that the result is largely dependent on what the Negroes do, on how they conduct themselves. This seems unfair, but in the language of Benjamin Harrison it is a condition that confronts us and no theory. It is a case of attacking a citadel—the Negroes are on the outside, therefore the burden of the work is on them. Politics, the political conduct will not prove the whole thing; it will, however, be one of the routes of attack. It is very plain to the Negroes that they are on their own resources; what to do is clearly up to them. Part of the program for appreciation is to win friends, if not the entire program. At any rate friends are to be won when possible, wherever possible and in any way possible. Again we say that politics is not totally efficacious, but friends may be won in that phase of our civil life. It is not so much that we take note of the political label of a candidate. It is of the utmost importance to the thing of race growth that the candidate is converted from an enemy to a friend. It is not necessary that the race forsake their greater principles of government in order to break up the thing of political oneness in local affairs. In the run o faffairs men who are not of one's particular party faith come up for election; their principles, when not destructive or when not in opposition to the conduct of the government as we know it, should no longer be a bar against the Negro's suffrage. The greater parties are interested in the best conduct of the government; hence it is no longer "treasonable" to think of the individual rather than what he stands for beyond the individual. Henry George says, "I am for men." Henry George was a great writer along the lines of political economy. The race can be so many Henry Georges whereat no one can take offense. The thing of political solidarity would be shattered; friends would spring up from unknown sources, from the barren rock, so to speak, as when Moses was smote, that he might get water. Vote for your friends, your individual friends, or the friends of your race where everything else is equal. Politics can not save the race, but it can destroy the race. The greatest civil wrongs endured have been inflicted through politics, alike as the greatest boon has come though politics. Politics has nothing further to offer in a civil way for the race's good. It has its sting left; this may be rendered less harmful by right action; right in accord with the demands. THE MEETING OF COLORED INDEPENDENTS DISTURBED. The citizens of Indianapolis were surprised last Friday morning when they read in the papers that the meeting of colored independent voters had been disturbed Thursday evening by persons who seemed bent on breaking it up. This meeting was one of the many held in the interests of the Independents. This one was given unusual prominence by the appearance of Ibishop Alexander Walters of the O. M. E. Zion church, and Senator Allain. It was the only one that was disturbed during the entire campaign. It can be seen why this particular meeting should have been singled out, where such a distinguished individual as Bishop Walters and the senator should appear. Other men of scarcely less prominence were in attendance, including George L. Knox, of the Freeman, and Attorney W. H. Henderson. It was reported that some were hurt, but the report was not true. The fact, however, does make the offense much less. The disturbers were bent on breaking up the meeting, thus ignorantly tramping under feet a portion of the foundation principles of the government. That the parties were irresponsible, or hoodlums, as it has been said, does not mend matters. The newspapers containing the report circulate everywhere. Opinions are formed everywhere by those who read. Those who read do not turburs. In fact they have no need to. It is expected that all conform to the laws, carry out the expressed will of society, respect the rights that belong to the other persons. Furthermore, when it is known that those who would break up a meeting by colored men were also colored people, it appears unusually atrocious. The attack was full of lessons. In the first place it showed the respect that Negroes may expect of Negroes. We will modify the assertion by saying that the ataack shows what may be expected of some. The whole race is not included, but the reading public knows no distinction. The whole race, by the incident, is set down as intolerant, narrow and mean on the account of those few. We will still modify by saying that there are too many of these "few," giving color to the theory that the whole race is intolerant, narrow and mean—much of this disposition must be cut out. A man nor men are to be held cheap and insult worthy simply because they do not agree to our notions, of anything, political or otherwise. It is the demand of the hour that men do think along political lines, that they act along political lines; that they believe in what they do or what they say, is sufficient. In fact, if they were the purest demagogues it is still their privilege to be that without violent interference. Free speech, when not abusive, is the safety valve of the country. It is to be hoped that Indianapolis will never have a similar happening. Years ago, when political fanaticism abounded, it was not much thought on. Today, however, when men are searching for a way, for the truth and the light, to impede them by short-sighted persons appears nothing short of sacrilege. The utmost respect for the opinions and principles of men, for, like another, the priceless jewel of redemption may be brought to us unaware. Aside from this sentiment, it is right and proper that men should be let alone, whatever their opinions or beliefs, just so they do not tend toward destruction of the government. Even in that event the law will decide as to the extent of injury and not individuals. The mob spirit was exhibited by those men, —the thing we pray against. How shall we be protected against the thing we ourselves indulge in? BISHOP SHAFFER, OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH. (By Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., of Chicago, Ill.) The attitude of the colored voter at this time, I am aware, is a question of no small concern. Very much has been said on the subject, some of which has been wise and much has been otherwise. Yes, colored men have been thinking, as they are capable of doing, and as others do, so they should do. Perhaps he has thought more and talked less than in some other campaigns, but that should not be interpreted as some suppose—to mean sullen indifference to the final outcome in November, or as to the destiny of the nation in general, or of his own people for the next four years in particular. But, like many other thoughtful men, on the contrary he has been carefully observing and weighing the whole situation, to the end that he might decide and act wisely in the premises. In this hour, which to him takes on the appearance of a crisis in the history of our common country, and especially in the history of his own oppressed people in a country in loyalty to which he doffs his hat to no man in war or in peace, ever standing by its flag and the principles of its constitution, unhesitatingly giving his all, even to life itself. Yes, I have had an opportunity to observe and gauge the general trend of sentiment among my people. I have met them in five States in conference gatherings in the past six weeks, all of which have been representative in character, representing possibly forty thousand people from every section of this territory. These gatherings lasted a week each and gave ample opportunity to develop the drift of sentiment on almost every possible subject, and phase of subject, of public interest, whether moral, religious, civic, political, State or National, and especially so on the political situation in the report on the state of the country, with the discussions thereon, which draws out every phase of sentiment, both pro and con, held by the members of the body. Well, the conclusion reached after a careful study of the situation, with the temper of the people, is that they are in rather a discriminating mood, and while they are ready and willing to do their duty, loyally, as they have done in the past, they are not to be satisfied with mere pre-election promises; neither will they be led off after strange gods for the mere novelty of the following, but they will hold to strict accountability the party with which they are allied, to the discharge of the principles and declarations laid down in their platform, and to mete out even-handed justice to all men alike, regardless of color and previous conditions. They ask nothing but a fair chance in the great race of life. I think there was never a time in our history when the men of color stood so largely on principle as in the present campaign, and when so little influenced by the mere glamour and glitter of the mere campaigner. As a thinking factor, he is watching his own best interests and the best interests of his country. I ask any thoughtful and honest man, white or black, Republican or Democrat, in the light of the history of the past, where do the best interests of the Negro lie? What party, I may ask, has contributed most to his freedom? What party gave him the elective franchise? What party secured the passage of the amendments to the Constitution by which his civil and political rights have in some measure been safeguarded? And what party, at every stage in the Negro's progress in his struggle to develop a noble manhood and womanhood, has bade him a God speed on his way? On the other hand, what party has stood in the way and barred every forward movement of the Negro in this country for the past forty years, and presumed to fix for him bounds half way between that of a man and a beast, to pass which, and to be a man in its estimation, was a high crime and misdemeanor? Let echo answer. No! Say what you will to the contrary, the colored man in the main, with all of his best interest for today and somewhat of the future, is inseparably allied with the Republican party, and it is my judgment that quite ninety per cent of the race will cast their votes accordingly in November. And should the party fall of success at the coming election, I am satisfied it cannot be laid at the door of the colored man. Special to THE FREEMAN.

STERLING JUBILEE SINGERS Some one made the statement through the columns of this paper that "jube" companies only played to bushes and litter may be true for the majority, but this company is one that plays in as large cities as any company of any kind, have beginning of the season, and reflect there for the gagement during the Christmas holidays. Will also play Philadelphia and New York. Can you find any places larger than the city of New York. The S.R.

The first part of their performance is known as "The Sterlings in Yaller Bammer County." The third part is high-class music and literary. PEKIN THEATER NOTES. The bill at the Pekin continues to grow better and better every week and this week's bill is far ahead of anything we have, and it is various and more variety and then some. Harry Deaves & Co. head the bill in a very clever burlesque on "Uncle Tom's Cabin." This act is not only amusing, has a great story and a variety of stage settings. Wise and Hilton are again seen in vaudeville. They never fail to make good. They do a singing and talking act and introduce a whole lot of interesting roles with very pretty Indian songs. Kolvig & Co. give a very entertaining exhibition in the art of magic. They mystify and delude the audience with their Sledger stunt. Of the old tricks and a lot of new ones. The two ladies, Excella & Franks, in a bag punching and contortionist act made puddled and Sledger stunt. In an act, act is also a minstrel and the bill. The lady minstrels add to the gayety of the performance, with Edmonia Jones and Maggie Crawford on the ends. The act is rendered in this minstrel first part. The biggest scream of the evening is Billy Earthquake and Tim Owesley's one act. The act is rendered in this minstrel first part. Billy Earthquake doing the comedy and Tim Owesley playing strait. NEW PEKIN THEATER. The vaudeville show at the new Pekin Theater, Louisville, Ky., this week, is not only a fine show, but a splendid drawing of a man in a suit, on Sunday night night. Mr. Ed Lee, manager of the new playhouse, had the sign out. Standing on the stage, vaudeville is what thing in this section of the country, yet the people are failing to it as though it was a William Walker show. The dance is a dancing of Mrs. Nettie and Lovie Taylor. These two characters are well known and are hard workers and artistic in their movements, but also wear handsome and know it well. James Price, who is perhaps the most popular artist on the local stage, made the debut of the Williams and Walker troupe. He has the same color as Mr. Walker, and, above all, has those fine white even teeth, and he knows how to use them. He makes the most of his talent by hitting song, "I Wish I Had a Gal." Miss Reed is a very charming and dashing actress, and under the direction of Mrs. Reed, she has been the artist. She uses her eyes with perfection and her voice likewise. Her voice is not voluminous, but she is able to fill the room with her charm. Elmore Taylor, in "Skidmore Guards," This is perhaps the funniest act of the show. It is amusing and laughable. Taylor put the "stunt" on so well that some of the audience members chrysanthemums, "I am Going to Exit" was the hit song of Vance Lowery. The show was well received and the house has been packed the first two nights of the BROWN DEFENDS VAUDEVILLE ARTISTS. Editor of THE FREEMAN: The item of Chas. Marshall in a recent issue speaks of the colored show people all desiring to go into vaudeville. But that film fit well as overcrowded and that there were many idle, and much time would be lost by attempting to enter the vaudeville field, and that they had better stay with a colored troupe. The colored artist is right to want to go into vaudeville and elevate himself and become a star, but he also of always working in the chorus or working up situations for some Negro star, who gets all the credit and money? They were not in the chorus and in the end find out it has done them no good as far as elevation is concerned. For instance, about two years ago I was a singer in a show with sands, to go with the minstrel show. I told her that I was hooked up in vaudeville, she showed me Keith Proctor and Foll & Orphemum Circuits. She replied by saying that one could not make a reputation only with a show and clique, but I was working in vaudeville every THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Yours for vaudeville, now and forever more, HARRY A. BROWN, www.harrya.brown.com CHICAGO SHOW SHOP. —By Julie Jones, Jr.— Dahoney has its winter coat on and is running full blast. How long this will last depends on how much usual, is leading them a killing pace. This house has everybody up a tree. There is no running it’s coming off next. The endeavour is to save the dollar variety, without the slightest doubt. Four big white acts, Billie Earthquake and the Lady Minstrels and Wise and Milton. The Washington has opened again, with a real bank behind it. This will give a real bank a way. Money will make anything go. Let’s see. All of the nickel-in-the-siots seem to All of the nickel-in-the-slots seem to be living by the hardest. Marion Brooks, the manager of the Grand, seems to have scored a point on the other managers, as he has four other houses to book for. With this advantage he will take the pick of acts for the Grand and the other houses he is booking for. The Pekin's bill for the week is away over the patrons' heads. They can't imitate the show, but they've been opened with Billie Earthquake and Tim Owlesy in a mixed family affair that see the gallery gods crazy, as it had a local flavor of low comedy. Next feature on the show was the show that was funny, too. But these first parts have been played in this house until they have become stale. Yet Edmonia Jones has been a great life. This work was gilt奖, especially Miss Jones, who equaled any of the regular minstrel stars who have appeared in the work at the Pekin. Following the Mistress's show, the Dress and grace of tehse white performers in front of a colored audience made them look at other and wonton them, or did he really mean it? This act was a good lesson to the audience, and colored performer, no matter who you are. This act was a very polite magician with a few good tricks, the same old cabinet vanishing finish, but every trick was politely introduced. This was followed by a manic act that could make good on any bill. Next was Wise and Milton, who had sharpened up for the occasion and handed out some new dope and took the house and Judy "Uncle Tone" Cabin." The flat-heads went wild over this woods act. The act is nothing out of the ordinary, though the settings, props and details were clever and Judy "Uncle Tone" Cabin's new light. Whenever the patrons of this house wake up and see what the management is driving at, with enormous expense, they will then pack it to the doors and go home. The Grand, the steady grind house, is still doing the land office business. The attractions offered are worthy of support. This house has offered three out of the four Rogers and Leroy Bland. Any one of the above acts can make good in the big league. This week's bill is a long expected clash between the two big bulldogs of the Rogers and Leroy Bland-black-face joke tellers. Harris is an old stroll favorite. Simms is a newcomer on the job, and has come to the front like fire. He opened with brand new stuff and enchanted, something very hard to do this house. It is the old story over again. Simms prepared for the battle and Harris depended on past reputation. Miss Lizzie had the same bill, which makes it three headliners. The other houses along the strol have their own rooms. You can get work at any other place, and some of them are too good to waste their time and have themselves out in this way, yet they stick to it. ROUTE.

REASONS FOR A DIVISION Concluded from Page One. nothing new or strange in the opposition we are meeting with in our effort to ally ourselves with the Democratic party. We are meeting with the opposition in our outends to better inform the Negro When the Negro asked for admission into the army at the beginning of the Civil War he was told that he was not wanted, that he was not wanted as warrior. Even the great Lincoln, at first, was not against allowing the Negro to fight, bleed and die to save the Union, and break the shackles from his own ankles and wrists. Did the Negro because he was not wanted?—No. He was told the was making a fool of himself to offer himself to the nation, to enter the army, to die to help a people who did not want him, to die was driven like a dog from the United States, to be so strong enough to know that he would better his condition by being admitted to the army, and allowed to fight for his country and freedom, so he persisted in his efforts and continued, and what a boom has come to him. We know that we will better our condition if we finally get a permanent foot-bold, politically, in the South by allying with the North, and this is the only way we are going to do it. The old master class is too proud to take the initiative, and we need not wait that. Had we waited for an invitation to the party, we would have been waiting until now, and if we wait to invited into the Democratic party we will have to wait a long time. No, no, we must so act as to induce that party to be the door and let us in, because we will be able to them as well as helpful to ourselves. The Republican party has shown itself impotent to enact further legislation in order to have Congress pass a bill to have lynchers tried in the Federal Courts. Nor has the Republican party done anything of the political legislation on the part of the Southern Democrats. We have us chiefly because we, as a race, have voted solidly with the Republican party. We have been the ally of the Republican party for years. We have been cuffed and kicked about because of his loyalty to that party, especially is he a Republican. We have P, has looked on with indifference, and has not lifted a finger to correct the evil. We have prayed and we have made appeal to the Supreme Court at the address of the Supreme Court, thus we have been sent by the President for relief we were told to go back to Congress, that the matter was out of the hands of the President, thus we have been sent by the President, thus we have from the court to Congress, and from Congress back to the court, and relief is about as near in sight as when we started. We have been sent by the President, thus the unwillingness of the Republican party to give the Negro the desired relief. The appointment of the Hon. ... Luke Wright, of Tennessee, an ex-Confederate senator, and an ex-Secretary of War, was a big bid for Southern support. The New York American in speaking of Mr. Wright says: "He is the man of the War Department, governing soldiers, directing the cannon, in the army, the cannon, the military forces of the country; the first man south of the Mason and Dixon Line to hold that portfolio since the Civil War; the first man to sign the Senate in 1857; born Democrat a Democrat still, and yet he is in the cabinet of a Republican President—placed in charge of country's most measured secrets, chief of the military of the Union, with shattered limbs and memories of hard fought battles, and yet there is no protest on the part of white Republicans, who have considered an unpardonable sin for a Negro to affiliate with the Democratic party, from which this man was taken and who has been a President; have no objection to this, all I want is to make friends with the same people. We are told that we cannot afford to unite with the Democratic party, because of the radicals within its ranks, such as the former Republican Tillman is concerned, our Republican President, Theodore Roosevelt, tohought enough of his ability, his liberality and broad statesmanship to our him in the most important measure since his occupancy of the White House. And yet this same Senator, Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, stated that he would not have lynched a hundred and sixty-seven Negroes at one time. The foolish cry that the Negro cannot go into the Democratic party on the account of his weakness, when it is remembered that this same Vardaman has again and again denounced, vilified and abused our Republican President, sometimes in terms of his weakness, and prevented our Republican President from appointing Democratic judges, cabinet officers, civil service comm., political and Democrats to every office within his gift. If Democrats are good enough to be appointed by a Republican President, are they not good enough to be voted into the Democratic party, or the life of me why it is so highly commendable in the President to do everything in his power to win over Southern voters, and on the other hand it is so reprehensible and down right treachery on the part of Negroes to vote with the Democratic party in order to have that party in power to ward the Negro. It is the only party that can change the discriminatory legislation, which has been enacted against us without a great political upheaval, amounting to Now come forward, the leader of the new Democratic party and many of his supporters offering to help us if we will be afraid to reach out and take the hand that is extended to us. It is bad politics in New York City and Chicago, they have one side, regardless of what may be their nationality. Wherever we have had sense enough to help the Democratic party, notably New York City and Chicago, they have one side, regardless of what may be their nationality. The large patronage given by Tammy Hall to the United Colored Democracy is a most substantial one. This question reminds me of two roads purporting to end in a state of political bliss. If after forty years travel on the one road you should be as far from the other as possible. Republic for the height of wisdom to try the other road, notwithstanding that you have been prejudiced against it by unfavorable reports. This is the way we have been trailing for forty years, and we are no nearer the political goal in the Southland today than we were when we started. The other road is the Democratic way, had we not The time is at hand when we are going to liberate ourselves. No amount of criticism she has deserved, from opposing the Big Stick, to balling in the tower of time, which only tolls at the dawning of a new epoch, has struck, and from on high comes marching orders to liberate the blacks and the whites of the South along political lines. If we would divide our votes of Jehovah we will divide our votes and thus make peace with our political foes. LOADSTONE all about its power for Money Making, and for personal INFLUENCE.

Several days ago I received a very important letter from that veteran base player and promoter, White of Philadelphia, his letter Mr. White predicted, colored base ball league for the 1969. He states that, in all abilities, eastern magnificent towns: Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn and Scranton. Of course, might be some slight changes made in the cities, but towns could be consolidated on in forming the league. Then again it may be that the league may not be able to say Mr. White, but don't be surprised if should be made a success," further. he says. "Now I am in great hopes that this league be formed, and I feel that it can once if the managers of the various teams mentioned in it meet the need for success and understand the interest of the leading ball capitalists. If they will build up their sleeves and get down hard work they will find the struggle to start. The league of western taemas last year is the greatest holdback was in trying to get each manager interested enough to help shape things. The earnest about this proposition as they should have been. They wanted to put the biggest thing on one man's shoulders, and they really expected him to pull it through by himself. It takes even more than several to get it together. They have got to get a large amount of brains and experience about you, for there are situations that will come up which are complexing to the most experienced ball league authority, she a half dozen men like Sol. White to "ferret" out these complications, too. Then there is that mighty thing, finance and banking, which is the thing that binds in legislation. It is the thing that binds in this case, as it does in most every other. But, in my experience, found little to be useful, and I want. It seemed that every case was dead willing to pay the francke at what ever price the client was willing to pay, appointed by the president, never seen fit to meet for the franchise. Some three or four times did the president come to meet, but only the client in appraisal, the club owners began, as the season came on, to form little state leagues, because they had grown tired of waiting, and they new that they were I am confident that it will not be long before we shall have a league, either West or East, and I am one who is going to try, in every way, to promote the league as our Sol, White, Philadelphia, Frank C. Luckin of Chicago, and John (Pop) Watkins of Greater New York, would furnish a great deal of the required amount of brains and experience for any base ball league. But what I want to say, mainly, is that we should have a careful, if ever, to bring eastern and western cues, because we have the material in abundance. Now is the time for us to begin, by arousing each other to make some plan of action, and to act as soon as possible with earnestness and an act of this again, and if so, I will do all I can to promote the idea. ```markdown ``` "Never did I hit a man so hard in my career as I hit this hit this follow. Why, a dozen times in our last fight. I threw a punch right on his jaw, felt the knuckles go through the padding of the gloves and into his jaws, his jaws hit his wobble and so grugely, then—well, I shake his big head and come back at me harder than ever. "He isn't human, I tell you. I maintain a dozen times that harder than an eight-weight living. I hit him flush on the knockout point and the walls never even upset him. The others who think they can do better than I did, the job is open for them, and, as for as I am concerned, they are welcome to the trial, and I will them well. But they have my sympathy.

You can ask him to watch a game, with or without a prize lightning or some certain battle that has happened and he is sure to tell you all you want to know about it. It has been my pleasure to be closely identified with Mr. Slaughter, and have, on many occasions, engaged him to settle matters of various kinds, because of his remarkable memory and first class judgment. There is a great deal of kicking being made in New York about six round bouts, and all this has come about over the reel. Cross-Fitzgerald bout. Some say that Cross-Fitzgerald repeatedly fouled throughout the fight. If it is not a violation of the law for two men to fight for a purse for sixteen men, it is practically impossible for a satisfactory purse to be found, if the men are at all evenly matched, and when the referee is forbidden to give a decision, why/should it be unlawful for a man to fight for a purse until one of them was beaten, or why should it be a violation of law for the referee to say which of them had the decision, if they are to have fights in New York, when the referee, the matter could be ended in the ring, instead of these tantalizing unsatisfactory six-round affairs. Yet Easterners should not of the privilege of having six-round bouts, as they are more enjoyable than one at a time. --- Fans of Every Game Consider Negroes for Their Deeds. Events in the world of sport prove almost conclusively that the famous "color" needs to be drawn to make itself felt. It needs to be almost purely a-syth, at least as far as the cerned. For the quitting athlete who needs an excuse, the color line comes in very handy, but for the public the color line is the easiest way to prove this argument is to mention the names of George Dixon, Joe Gans and John H. Taylor. Dixon's career was the stimulus for a great display of racial prejudice. He then, who were supposed to be overweight, racial prejudices literally fell over themselves to contribute a mite to the fund that provided for the decent burial of this man, one of the most popular fighters that ever lived. Taylor was educated in a Philadelphia school, where he did his first running on relay teams. He was immensely popular in college football. Taylor was running him got him, and he celebrated his first race importance by breaking the intercollegiate quarter-mile record, placing the figures at .43 **N**. Taylor immediately became a star. Taylor was talked of and everybody respected him. With all that, he was modest and did not try to force his way where he was. Taylor not be wanted. He went to England and Scotland and received there as a champion and the biggest crowds turned out to watch him. Every athletic meet of importance held in the York has tried to get Taylor's entry, for the managers know that he brings the crowd. In cycling, Major Taylor was the example which porves the rule. As a rider, Taylor was the famous white rider, and Taylor's entry in a race made i tertain that the crowds would be one hand. Taylor found the professional riders whom he was able to beat the only obstacles to his general popularization, and he helped to him as a Negro not as a bike racer. Harvard, a few years ago, had a Negro base ball player named William C. Matthies, who was as popular as any stalwart in the team, and was able to walk through the prep school and college, and all the time played baseball, in many games proving the mainstay of the team. He was an avid player, a fielders. He was honest and upright, and his company was constantly chosen by his white fellow students. In the racing game Isaac Murphy, the Murphy of how the public does not draw the color line. Murphy's black face was never considered when thousands of race goers stood by him, and they were all confident that he would be rated him above the white boys of his time, and the opinion of the public is the deciding factor in any sport. And a football player named William H. Lewis, who was a Negro, and Harvard annals today show that he was considered one of the greatest centers the crimson ever had. For a team to Cambridge to coach the Harvard gridiron teams, and his arrival was always the signal for a great cheer. The fame he gained then later helped him when he was drafted by the attorney of Boston, despite his color. The names of these Negroes are constantly on the tongues of those who are interested in sports. They stand out as prominently for their prowess as any white man, but as much. The public does not look at the color of any man. It looks at his deeds, and if they are satisfactory, then he becomes a hero in their eyes. HARD ROW FOR NEGRO BOXERS. (The Indianapolis News.) The standing of the colored goxer is far from what it was in ring circles in the halcyon days of Tom O'Rourke and Al Heys. Tom O'Rourke also discovered Heys Gans in an oyster house. This team was undoubtedly the best pair of managers of colored men that have been in the sport at the present time leaves a void so far as the colored boxer in concerned that never will be filled. Tom O'Rourke discovered the late Gayle Doyle, a studio studio in Moston, and after much time and effort on his part he brought the wonderful lad to a point where he was one of the greatest players of the third decade. Those were hard days for the colored athlete, but O'Rourke was a capable and clever handler, and he brushed aside all his mistakes and the little colored chap was received in many places throughout the country where, but for O'Rourke's efficiency in directing affairs, he would have been Perhaps the most remarkable piece of ring engineering performed by Tom for Dixon was when he closed and pulled off the match between the two players on the carnival, back in 1892. Every one is aware that in the South the citizens are particularly hostile to colored scrappers opposing white men, but through O'Rourke's strategy the men were brought together, and Dixon won. The chocolate-hued expenence of man-made scrappers to the limbs and by Tom O'Rourke's aid made the most popular performer of his day. A TREATISE ON NEGRO BASEBALL By Sol. White. After twenty-two years of professional life colored baseball has been the sport of the sport-loving public and in every section of the United States one or more professional teams are being organized and efforts put forth to form a national league of colored baseball. From the beginning of colored baseball there has been an over-crowded market of baseball teams and many more have been but what the supply was greater. The limited field for colored players has kept many first class artists in the background, and the present time finds managers besieged with applications withstanding the great increase in the number of professional teams. The record made by the rejuvenated Leeland team was greatly augmented by the professional team of St. Paul, Minn., has thrown the West in a fever of enthusiasm of colored baseball teams which will greatly augment the chance of winning a coveted talent so eager to obtain an opportunity to display their ability as exponents of the national game. WHITE FIGHTERS HOLD TITLES. Austin Says Negroes Receive Little Encouragement These Days. For the first time in many years all the titles in the various fighting classes are now held by white men. At that time the featherweight, lightweight and wetterweight divisions were divided among George Dixon, Gans Amstaff and Ace Attell, each assigned out of the game and their laurels have reverted to white men. Ace Attell has succeeded Dixon, Nelson has replaced Gans Amstaff and Ace Attell has succeeded, but has since retired from the game. As there are very few colored fighters in the ring and the ropes are too long to intimidate the roped square in the way of leading honors for some time to come. Most of the clubs throughout the country are now accustomed to become conspicuous in ring history. The only place where the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER black man receives any kind of encouragement nowadays is at Baltimore, Md. However, he is only allowed to participate in battles in the preliminaries. Some of the Philadelphia clubs give him a chance to figure in the bouts, but only at rare intervals. Yet the Negro is much more easily managed by the boxer and is never too exacting in the way of compensation for his services. Whether Nelson can hold the lightweight main to be seen. The Dane is young and strong and takes the best of care of himself. He is in love with his profession and besides is anxious to make all the best of his way he can do this is to remain on top. Nelson may be compared with Kid Lavigne in a way. Their style of fighting is similar. Lavigne never paid much attention to the boxer. Dane does, however. Nelson is clever in his way and a stiff puncher with both hands. Lavigne's best blow was a right-wing—Sam Austin, in the Police Gazette. BURNS DOES NOT HOLD TITLE. Jack Johnson Says Tommy is a Self- Crowned Champion. Special to THE FREERMAN. Jack Johnson, the scraper, organized an independence party of his own in the tenuity of the match fixes with Tommy Burns, the colored pretender has installed himself on a throne of his own making. He recently and modestly embossed in gold after the Johnson patronymic the legend, "Heavyweight Champion of the World." Jack mildly ascertains that he holds the title of the default of Burns, who has pugilistically cut him on frequent occasions. Thenceforth the self-crowned champion will nominate the self-b party to consider and conduct a campaign of his own. He says that he will polish off so many heavyweights that the public will soon forget that there is a Burns and a Lincoln. "Lil" Arista started things by signing articles with Mike Schreck of Cincinnati, a National Sporting Club in London on October 19 for a purse of $5,000 and all expenses. He has finished Selrick, Johnson declares he will fine-comb the earth from Zanzibar to Vladivostok in search of heavyweights, and that he will return to the country with a record as thick as Mr. Boyd's directory. Reverting to Johnson's championship claims, the answer is: "Why not? Why not?" and the quantities that they are cheap. Sean the list and pick the fighter who is not champion of something. Every bartender who has worked for J.F. Kennedy for years must have himself as the title-holder because he was with a real champion six months and was never knocked out. Marvin Hart bought John L. Sullivan to drink once, and the champion he was defeated by Tommy Burns, and of course, the "title" passed to his conqueror. He didn't Jack O'Brien earn the crown when he disposed of Bob Fitzsimons at a time when the latter was being treated for senility? Of course, Bob had it, but it is very rude to touch on that fact. Then look at the world's champions in the middleweight class. Wow! Count 'em. There's Stanley Ketchel, Billy Papke, Bob Fitzsimons and a half score of others. All real champs, too, and they can easily trace the honesty of their claims by referring to Mr. Andrew's blue box. Its an endless chain, for when any of the number is defeated the victor gets twenty weeks of booking on the burrow, and then he is able to him to write "How I Got On" top articles. As far as the world's title is concerned, Asher Cates, battling Nelson won the wreath from Joe Gans, who had whipped everybody in sight, and is entitled to the honor until he sidesteps an opponent or is defended. But look at the lightweight champions of the East. Virtually every boxer around the world has a line after his name. Every season three score of lightweight champions of the East mail one another at Mr. McGuligan's team. And again, did any one ever hear of a Britisher coming here who was not lightweight champion of England? Look over there. We have told Jonny Simmers, Freddy Wash, Jack, Jack Goldswain and others. As for the bantamweight and featherweight everybody in England and America of that class is a champion. Some day a fighter will come along who will bill himself, and he will make a fortune. SOL WHITE AND BASEBALL. Dear Sir--Although the baseball season of 1908 si over a few words at this on the subject would not be amiss and, permantly, be somewhat interesting to the many readers, you very interesting baseball columns. In the first place I wish to say that the effort of the FREEMAN, in behalf of bad baseball players, the rue spirit that "help to help each other" in baseball columns are very interesting, and are read by all lovers of the game. We had a very successful season in every particular this year. Our Western trip to Philadelphia was a start, ended very satisfactory, and our return to the East gave colored baseball new life. All the colored teams in the game were not surprised if you hear of a color league in the East next year with good substantial backing. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Brooklyn and Scranton are the cities contemplated in its formation; and maybe it won't be a go. Yours truly, Sol. WHITE. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY SENDS CHALLENGE. The Lincoln University football squad, of Jefferson, Mo., has sent a challenge to the team one of the strongest organizations in the South, having defeated some very strong teams. When manager Gallard, with a few days ago he stated that he had as yet, decided whether his team would except the challenge or not. The manager asked the team ask that the game be pulled off at St. Louis, or any other nearby town. JOCKEY LEE SAID TO BE ILL. J. Lee, the well-known colored jockey, who won a large number of the races at Latonia race track last season, and who has been sweeping a great amount of the stables on eastern tracks in the past summer, is said to be very ill at New York.
