THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER JUN 77 1909 SCHOOL MUSICAL DIRECTOR WILL BE APPOINTED BY CITY SCHOOL BOARD Says Prof. Mark-Tennis Club Organized-Big Picnic for the Children-Social Functions for Miss Tibbs of Chicago. BY CARY B. LEWIS. LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Now that the Louisville School Board has made provisions for the appointment of a musical supervisor, it is high time that some of the young women of the city should prepare directions. The board has broken the ice, and this means that there will be a drawing and industrial supervisor of the race. It sounds true to whoever applies, but be prepared to graduate recognized colleges and universities. Mr. Mark nor the colored citizens are going to stand for some favorite dummies to get prepared themselves, and when these juvenile plums are offered they can take them. There are some girls' parents who are able to send them off to college and get a place to attend. But they are nearly waiting with their normal certificates to teach. Finally a place will be open, and the hue and cry of the students will be "home person." Prof. Mark has set it down that none but the most capable and best trained are to have the highest. This the thinking people endorse, and this the School Board will most likely prescribe. --- There was quite a whirl in society circles last week.

From an artistic standpoint it was conspicuous success, but from a business standpoint it was not. The small amount of $40—a mere pittance—was cleared. It is not that the people of Louisville are indifferent to the net proceeds, but that they respond more liberally and in better spirit and numbers is due in a large measure to the growing inquisitiveness concern the branch management of the institution. The public into their confidence has in a great degree alienated public confidence in the integrity of its management.

LIBERIAN COMMISSION TO RETURN IN TWO WEEKS Of Their Findings Concerning the People on the Western Shore of the Dark Continent—Events of the Trip. Special by Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.—In about a fortnight the Liberian Commission to reach the American capital to report to the United Nations of its investigations touching the commercial, financial, educational and social condition of the people of the little republic, which is the most important of their findings will be of vital interest to the principal governments of the world cannot be doubted, as so many potentates of the world will be the future of this naturally rich, but undeveloped, garden spot of the Dark Continent. The German will be among the most intelligent of all in Russia, Italy and Spain will look on complacently, while even China, Japan and Turkey will not be unmindful of what is said on the important subject of tl. hour. No commission sent out by the American government—not even our ambassador—was so foreign nations—has ever been so significant in trio of envoys to the Negro republic of Liberia—Messrs. Roland P. Falkner, Emmanuel Cocke and George Solee. The original plan to send envoys abroad with them had to be temporarily abandoned, owing to an accident to the engine of the Salem, but the two that arrived were the messengers of mercy and posal of the commission, and with the Chester as the flagship and the Birmingham as escort, the messengers of mercy and posal of the commission, and after one of the swiftest and most pleasant journeys across the mighty Atlantic of which there were no records, accorded the Americans was most cordial, and joie of the Liberians was unbounded. The newcomers were hailed as saviors and from conditions bordering on annihilation, and the Americans was most cordial, and joie of the Liberians was unbounded. The newcomers were hailed as saviors and from conditions bordering on annihilation, and the Americans was most cordial, and joie of the Liberians was unbounded. The story has been told in more or less detail by the Association of American personal friend at the Liberian capital gives a few salient facts that have not yet been way into print, and a brief synopsis is way ventured. Writes our correspondent: "The Mayor of Monrovia and members of the City Council met the Commission-welcome and felicitation, after a welcome band played 'The Star-Stapled Banner,' and the keys of the city were turned over to the ungrasping strangers within our gates. Then the companies fell in parade alignment and escorted the Commissioners through the principal thoroughfares of the city. "Testimonies of color intertwined—met the eye upon every side. At several places along the line of march addresses of welcome were read aloud. The counties of the republic, and each of the trio stood under a movable arch of flowers and ribbons. These arches were tied together and stopping place was reached. After the representatives of the four counties had all been heard, the procession wound up at the American legation. To the chairman, Mr. Scott and Dr. Scaled responded separately. Mr. Falkner responding to two of them, Mr. Scott to two and Dr. Scaled to one, addressed the address. Within the legation a general reception was held and the party was introduced to the officials of the Liberian government and to the prominent businessmen of the city. The elaborate luncheon was served, following which the people were permitted to greet the Commissioners and fittingly close an exhibition taken on the form of a national holiday." The commission has concluded its work in Liberia proper, and as has been told, further investigations are being made in Sierra Leone, with a peep into the Canary and Madeira islands. Two natives, designated by Mr. Scott, are being brought to General News LOGANSPORT, IND.

A State summer school will be held at the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, located in the vicinity of the railroads throughout the State have granted reduced rates to the summer schools, so that little excuse can be had for teachers not attending one of the schools at Hampton, at Petersburg or Christiansburg. The faculty of Hampton and of Petersburg will be the instructors at the schools held at those two places. In addition to the summer schools, the Petersburg Institute, such well-known veterans as Dr. D. Webster Davis, Prof. J. Riley Dungee and Prof. Wm. B. Ferguson will be attending the summer school at this institution. In point of location the school at Christiansburg has a most favorable situation. It is the mountains, where the climate is mild. It is the mountains, where the climate is mild. It is five miles from the Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, famous before the Civil War, and a natural aristocracy. It is only three miles from the celebrated Yellow Sulphur Springs, to which hundreds of visitors come every year. It is the mountains, where the noted Alleghany Springs, and there are others of greater or less importance within a radius of ten or fifteen miles of the town. Ten or fifteen miles have been pronounced by people who have visited here as almost identical in their physical appearance. Its lawns are shaded by a few trees. A few of these bear apples that ripen during the month of July. It is needless to say that seats under these trees are exquisite. It is also during the periods they are not in class. The altitude of Christiansburg is 2,000 feet above the sea. The days are warm, during the hottest weather of summer one is compelled to use a light blanket at night. The weather never gets so hot that the schools are too uncomfortable or sleep. The schools will fall from each of the two towns of Cambria and Christiansburg, with good roads to each. It is in the country, with country environments, and the buildings are equipped with hot and cola water, with excellent bath arrangements and the board at Christiansburg is reasonable. If paid in advance, the charges are $8 for the session embracing nearly five weeks. By the week the charges are $2. The aim at Christiansburg is not only to give instruction in methods, but the subjects upon which the teachers are to learn, and also taught every day. Every teacher who was present last year claimed to have been very much benefited by attending, and many of them made a contribution to the school then, ever before, which they attributed to their attendance here It will be well to note some of the advantages which attendance at a summer school gives: 1. Teachers holding certificates, who attend a normal may take examination or half of the course, yet if pass, will be granted a certificate of whatever grade they make, which will be good for one year. Next year you can complete the examination taking the subject and did not take the subject. 2. If you take all the subjects this year and pass on half of them, you will be given a certificate of whatever grade you make, and the examination may be completed. 3. The examination papers of those attending summer schools are graded before the papers of those who do not attend, and the vision superintendents are thus encouraged to preference to those who attend normals. 4. In applying for schools by persons who hold no certificate in this State, superintendents are required to give a certificate of attendance of at least twenty days at a summer normal. 5. Some private institutions that do not require an examination of their teachers are required to demonstrate as evidence of professional zeal. 6. A certificate of attendance will be given to all who attend classes of not less than two subjects a day for twenty days. Further information may be had by ad- RAMBLING. Moses Moore, of Dayton, Ohio, is the owner of what is said to be the largest exclusive park for colored people in the United States. He owns the and its itss, a 10-acre, multi-purpose style, representing a considerable outlay of money. The project is an experiment; it was opened only a few days ago and it looks to be a winner from the jump. The team has been working on some-good pictures of the grounds and buildings as a whole and a series of the interiors of buildings. These latter pictures and theirs show skating rink walls for junior and senior girls, cream parlor, soda fountain, also a merry-go-round. Mr. Moore will be the general manager, assisted by his wife, the erstwhile Smart. The information will prove welcome intelligence to the stage people, since Marion Smart was no less a favorite with the stage people than with the public. The Smart will take advantage of the park and its attractions. As manager, Mr. Moore means to keep his park on a par with the best conducted parks. Adjoining the park and itss itss will be the most contributing to the popularity of the resort entertaining. Roller skating will be a feature. An orchestra has been employed. It will entertain the visitors with the best music every which way. Besides the merry-go-going which is of interest, there are various devices for amusement, including motion pictures and illustrated songs, picture gallery, shooting gallery, museum, and the M. M. Peacock a zoological garden. His modest beginning amounts to one monkey, but in time this department will grow. The ice cream parlor and the restaurant will be opened to the public. The restaurant has ample banquet facilities, a number of which are expected during the season. The Dayton paper has as follows: "The Moore has invested over $40,000 in his new venture and there is every reason to believe that it will prove to be a big success. The park is in excellent condition, the patronage of others is not sought; but white people will be civily treated and served when they visit the park. In a musical recently given by the pupils of the Indiana School for the Blind two colored girls took part in the production of a song being noted, being notable and noteworthy. Martha Anne Willet, one of the girls, was a member of the graduating class—a violinist, the second seconder, an olinist, the Virginia musician, other colored girl, had the distinction of appearing three times or the program. Her first appearance was in *The Snow*, by Elgar, the second in *The Piano*, by Linus. Miss Fleming took the piano, Herman Wilson organ. Her next number was an organ melody by J. A. Best. Finally, she took part in two planes, organ and four violins. It will be understood that the organ was a pipe organ. She is organist and pianist. Speaking again of Miss Fleming and her musical education, one can tell without hearing her that she has been carefully trained and has been most excellent in teaching and in teaching to both association and genial employment will not be met up with in her after life. It is possible for her future to continue as the teacher of the music, the thought of the beautiful association, studying the masters with masterly musicians, with appreciative confreres breeds of music, and the time that it is possible for such an existence, beautiful in itself, to be continued in colored communities right among colored girls and boys in the district, the time that it is possible and have no inclusion, have time. It is a travesty, but a truth, to say that the Institution for the Blind in India is the institution of the music among the colored people than all other institutions combined. Must I say, had these not been blind they would have been as the others? I think so, although I am satisfied they would have been blind, and I would itself to this: that for proficiency in musical art the Negro child must be caught and caged, or else the subject of the dread of the Negro child must be cared for in the manner provided by the State. Now, the foregoing seems a careless observation. Yet it is no more than half truth, the other half is that he was the institution from which he is attaining colored musicians, Think of Alphonso Johnson. He might have come from Mars so far as having any one in this institution was a graduate of the piano from that institution. I think he now lives in Chicago. He was the first graduate. It was quite a number of years ago. How divinely he played the piano strumming and strumming and strumming on his self. I said to him, if he, be being blind, got no eyes, can play that way, what would he do with two eyes? He was not blind, it had Alphonso not been blind, he would never have been at the institute. But taking my point of view, had he been inclined, enveloped in the good eyes, as he must have been blind he was much a greater musician, if not player. I think the next graduate was Belle Lewis, a most beautiful player. She fingered the piano entrancingly. Her fingers moved more gracefully, seeing as if they had eyes. She is also a pipe organist as well as pianist. She is married now. In talking with her mother, she mentioned the methods of the blind for acquiring proficiency. She was in no situation at that time to have the great music read to her, but she was drawing on the past. She was not sure of the nature of the kind necessary nor associate to read for her, consequently she was declining, simply for want of musical attention. When I was asked what thing I am ashamed of, since I did not go back again. So in a musical way she is pining and drooping—in fact, she told me that I am really sorry for them. It was through the refining fires, every faculty and capacity awakened and exploited, then finally finding the dull days—void of experience; and what is stagnation but death? The race to which we belong is often an unconscious homicide. It does not know. It does not understand. It thinks it does. Many know; most do not; and there's reason to believe it is stupidity. Belle Lewis should have been kept going somewhere - pipe organ, little organ, plano. She was such a musician that helps when the name of the city is known. She is sure to ask who are your leading musicians. Surely the "raggers" merely will not be cited. Such as these persons must be named, and others of ability—musically people. It's keeping up one's end. MME. L. C. PARRISH HAIR CULTURIST WHITE MAN PAYS NEGRO TO BE BAD—NOT GOOD. "The white man pays the Negro more to be bad than to be good. A large number of Negro brothels are richly furnished at the expense of the white man. The white man may steal from the Negro, debauch or even kill him, and the crime will never come up in court. The Negro has no voice; no justice or mercy is shown him. What should we who hold the power do to remedy the injustice?" In these words Rev. J. A. Rice, pastor of the Rayne Memorial Methodist Church, put the problem which was the subject of his lecture Thursday night in the Second Methodist Church. The speaker contended that the race is rapidly losing its vitality. Through increasing susceptibility to disease, especially tuberculosis and the conditions of immorality which follow the crowding of Negroes into cities, a rapid degeneration has set in, and the whites of the South must lend a helping hand ere the evil becomes worse. The speaker's suggestion of what should best be done was expressed as follows: "We should sympathize with him as a human being, who has a heart capable of feeling and possessing a soul worthy of being saved. The assistance that should be given him is education, not such as was given him after the war when to attempt to teach the Negro meant social ostracism and sometimes worse, but education that will help him to overcome the great disadvantages under which the Negro labors. The antagonism shown the Negro seeking education is responsible in a great measure for his sullen condition at the present time, and further, antagonism on our part will make it harder for our children who will have him to contend with in future generations."—Dr. Rice in the New Orleans Item.

He most ably handled the affairs of our government during the recent revolution in Haiti. Dr. Furniss seems to be much impressed [Picture of a group of men standing in front of a thatched hut, with palm trees in the background]. with Haiti. He has traveled all over the country, and is thoroughly acquainted with the conditions existing there. In talking to him relative to Haiti, he has said as follows: "Haiti, from a standpoint of natural resources, is a very rich country, and American press, which has painted a much worse than it is in reality. The country has been a frequent victim of a class which has gone there to exploit it and failing in this, has said and written all manner of bad things about it.

"President Simon is a man of great discretion, and appears to have the up-building of his country very much at heart. Before becoming President he was for twenty years military governor-general of the southern part of the country and an administrator. He is a practical farmer, and, realizing that Haiti is essentially an agricultural country, he is using every possible means to stimulate and encourage agriculture. "Haiti is a country where the best frostproof in case of a revolution, but which foreigner is the entire absence of window glass. Windows are closed by outside and the better houses have in addition inside wide slats. The windows are usually wide during the day, but at night both the outside and inside blinds are kept closed. Most of the cities have good water supplies and the better homes from springs in the mountains. No cities have in operation a street-lighting service, though in two or three places plants for such as in course of erection. The cities could not be distinguished from like classes, where the women follow the fashions, and the more prosperous have their dresses and the more many own carriages, while many are on the street corners for hire and are well patronized. The country people dress very simply, in calico or other cotton goods, usually in bright colors or loud figures. The country is a school of medicine, den- STATUE OF DESSELINES. PORT-AU- PRINCE. tistry, pharmacy, and a technical school, supported by the government. There are also professional schools at some of the smaller cities. Most of those taking a professional school are professions, medicine and law being the most coveted. There appears to be great need for schools like those at Tuskegee and at Hampton. "The church of the state is Roman Catholic, though all kinds of creeds are tolerated. The government also appropriates amounts for various protest churches. Episcopal, Baptist and Methodist churches exist there. "The houses of the cities for the most part are built of wood, and are characterized by their balconies, which project over what would be our sidewalks. The more wealthy, approach our modern cottage and Arrangements Rapidly Shaping Themselves by which The Freeman will Become the National Organ of the Order. Arrangements are under way with the various orders comprising the I. B. P. O. O. and the orders completed will place the Freeman at the helm as the National organ of the order. This is as it should be. The organization has made marvelous progress during the last few years, completed all other colored lodges in the country, both in membership and financial strength. Like all fraternal bodies, a journal of national character, as an internal organization, essential to the Freeman, and breadth of appeal to its rather cosmopolitan clientage. Made up, as it is for the most part, of members who by virtue of their membership have the roles of hotel men, the railroad porters, etc.) makes it absolutely necessary that a national paper should represent the body, and the roles of the members country could keep in touch with general proceedings of the order. It is proposed by the management of The Freeman to set aside a space each week for the ex-communion of the members throughout the country. In department work The Freeman is the recognized success of the century among colored newsletters, the magazine of the most distinct successes of its history. A very encouraging response is pouring into The Freeman office with each mail from the various lodges, indorsing the support and proclaiming the sending to promote and spread the faith throughout the land. It is requested and earnestly urged that all secretaries that with relative to this matter should furnish a short, newsy letter to the Freeman after each regular meeting, setting forth the progress of the work. By this means the organization ordered Elks of America in touch with each other, and at the same time to give interesting and instructive reading matter that will carry a permanent directory of the name and address of every "E. R." and secretary of the entire order in the United States in invading other towns in strange cities. He will thus always be provided with the name WHAT WE MIGHT BE DOING: Let us see. Something like 35,000 colored people in and about Indianapolis. If they will, they can engage in every endeavor that may be seen in a city of 35,000 people. Such an American city would have, roughly estimated, two banks, six real estate firms, two trust companies, twenty groceries, five dry goods stores, six drug stores, four saloons, eight shoe stores, three hat stores, two good hotels, ten lesser hotels and eatinghouses, stores of various kinds not coming under the head of any one of the above, ten or a dozen shops and factories, three newspapers, of which one would be a daily; eight or ten schools with upward of fifty teachers, twenty-five churches and about the same number of preachers. A few of these conditions are filled, or nearly filled. In the matter of churches and preachers the community is long. The schools square with their possibility. We have more than bungalow style, and are usually furnished with much taste, the furniture usually coming from Paris. In addition to the brick, or brick-and-mud houses are many built of brick, or brick-and-mud, an idea of making them fireproof in case of a revolution. A fact which strikes a designer is the entire absence of window glass in the buildings, the blinds, and the better houses have in addition blinds with slats. The windows are usually wide open during the day, but at night both the outside and inside are closed. "Most of the cities have good water supplies, the water usually coming from springs in the mountains. None of the cities have an operation a street-lighting service, though many of the fashions, and the more prosperous have helped plants for such as in course of erection. The better classes of people could not be distinguished from like classes elsewhere, the street corners for hire and are well patronized. The more every simply, in calico or other cotton goods, usually in bright colors or loud figures. The country people and the poorer classes of the cities live for the most part upon fruits, beans, rice and sweet potatoes, while the better classes eat about the farm, and the less classes elsewhere, with the exception that they are particularly large meat eaters. Rum and other alcoholic drinks are cheap in India, although they have a restriction nor license to be connected with the manufacture or sale of intoxicants, yet one seldom sees a drunken person. Practically every one drinks alcohol in some form, it is always offered to visitors. "Haitiens have always stood high in French literature. There are numerous authors whose books are in demand in India, and there have been whose productions have met with success in Paris. Few people know that Alexander Dumas was of Haitien ancestry, and was proud of it. The Dumas estate is still in existence in Haiti." New Shaping Themselves Man will Become the Man of the Order. of a friend and brother. It is further proposed to maintain a regular postoffice exchange such as are now operated in our city, and interest of the theatrical profession. This will be known as the "Elks Postoffice," through which any brother in America may be reached when an indulgence in doubt of his correct address or number of his lodge. ELKS' NOTES Brother John A. Denny, secretary, and Brother Charles T. Phelps, E. r. of S. H. Dudley Lodge No. 164, St. Joseph, M., writes. **Dear Brother—We are more than pleased with the work you are taking up in behalf of the colore dEiks of America, and assure you that you will be pleased sharing of the S. H. Dudley Lodge No. 164.** **Olive E. Robinson, E. r. of Flower City Lodge No. 911, Rochester, N. Y., writes:** "Dear Brother—I am heartily in favor of your movement. I have always regarded The Female our leading race registrar. Exact and Rules of this lodge I shall leave no stone unturned to make it a grand success and secure to The Freeman the support of this lodge." R. M. Johnson, secretary of Gopher Lodge No. 105, St. Paul, Minn., writes; greatly help matters. We will distribute them among the members at the next regular meeting. A. M. Roberts, secretary of Blossom Heath Lodge No. 152, Larchmount, N. Y., writes: **For Brothers—Your proposition was put and read in open lodge and same was highly honored and unanimously adopted. We assure you solid support.** Jasper W. Bows, secretary Calumet Lodge No. 15, Oberlin, N. Y., writes: "Dear Sir and Brother—I received your letter a few days ago and the contents noted by me and read in open lodge, and all wars in force. I know you will have great success in your undertaking and we will do all within our power to make it greater." four saloons. Probably the estimate was too low; ten saloons would have been the truer proportion, according to the way they are found today. And we have that many, if not more. At any rate, there is no room for complaint along that line. In most everything else referred to we are sadly deficient. Nor do we mean to say that alike conditions could exist to those of a group of 35,000 people; yet one can see how widely we diverge from opportunity—opportunity in that most of the business may be engaged in, since there is not the competition the white man knows when he enters business. Of course, it is expected that the patronage would come from the colored people, and which result would be seen returning to them in various ways. The colored people are practically free to do much of what has been cited since they are practically a distinct people, depending as a matter of necessity on the white people in the main for their subsistence, but these white people are not inquisi- tive about their earnings. The colored people have no share in the business conducted by white people, either as proprietors or clerks, consequently reflection along this line is always in order. When it comes to agriculture, with its many phases, the colored man is not restricted. The inquisitive man may want to know the antecedents of a good-looking horse or steer, but he is not particular as to the antecedents of the individual that raised either. The rule holds good throughout. So many more in the Northern cities should turn their attention to that useful and enobling occupation, agriculture. The young men are the ones to appeal to—those that are robust, and who should do just as much as others do. The opportunity is with the 35,000. A people need not boast of being as much as another people if it does not rear the same kind of monuments to its ingenuity. What the single handed, penniless foreigner does is also reserved to the Negroes of America. No other country is so great in opportunity as America, even to its Negroes. They trample opportunity as the swine the pearl, and then cry race proscription. Race proscription applies in a social way; racial contact is not appreciated when it comes to society. As a workman in whatsoever field the Negro is found he is generally preferred. This means opportunity, since nothing hinders him from saving and combining until he is able to employ many of his own kind, thus doing what the times plainly dictate. SPRINGFIELD. ILL.

Watermelons in the market—great, big, luscious-looking fellows, but none too appealing in these advanced days. Now, if they can discover the use of the balloons, civilization will have moved up a peg. President Taft made a very excellent speech at Biddle University. Nothing more could have been expected of him. Things are not whooping up very much in the contest for the nomination for Mayor. Is the great office to go begging? It was a grand parade even if the Mayor did have to abandon his auto. Had it been any other time it would have went along alright. The common people haven't had any too much luck under high protection; they are willing to chance a reduction of the tariff in order to see if their luck won't change. Boley, Okla., the exclusively Negro town, has a telephone system managed by colored people; it has an ice plant and other devices of convenience for the modern times. The prospective office holders and leading politicians do not seem to be enraptured with President Taft. But in his Southern trip he found every other kind of people delighted with him. Alcorn College, of Mississippi, receives $41,000 from the State and $22,000 from the Morrill Fund by the government. We'll have to learn to count in these little things while plugging along. A walnut tree recently felled at Amersham, England, measured 24 feet around and brought $245. Plant walnut trees for your posterity. They will be worth more in the next 200 years. Everybody seems to be happy in the belief that the discharged Negro soldiers are at last to get justice. Does the scheme include back pay? Nothing much has been said on that most important point. The college graduate, the high school graduate, the common school graduate, are the theme in these days. May they find as pleasant and congenial days on the outside as they did when on the inside. Senator Aldrich would put Senator Beveridge out of commission as a Republican. The Senator from Indiana retorted by classing Aldrich as an extortionist. Make it stronger, Senator B.; call him an inquisitor. Don't know that a State should be called on to furnish chevroons and brass buttons. If the State will make appropriation for the necessities—the facilities for conducting schools, purchasing improved appliances and implements—it has come near doing the whole thing. Next Monday, June 14, Indianapolis will observe Flag Day, when the homes of all the citizens, as well as the business places, are expected to display flags. June 14 is the one hundred and thirty-second anniversary of the aroption of the flag as the national emblem. The young Turks have engaged noted Parisian architects to remodel Constantinople, said to be the fittest city in the world. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. They will make classic old Constantinople equal to its reputation. Beauty is a "force," psychological, if not physical; it restores the harmony disturbed by ugliness. Why is industrial training so readily reduced to farming by so many of us? It means the trades in their great diversity and where the masses of common people are found. Sure, the farm is a feature and a good thing, since it means so much to the penniless man of brawn and who wants to invest his brawn on his own hook or, at least, ni partnership, which is always a possibility. Some of the press are just ravin' over Judge Durgo's decision in the Pullman porter case. Well, the judge just spoke what so many others think and act. The only real ugly phase of it was slashing the man's allowance, and by a jury of twelve men, from $2,500 to $300. What he said otherwise was surprising only in that it came from a judge who is supposed to be an intellectual owl. A neat, little automobile, looking as clipper as a canoe, is seen about the streets. It is so simply constructed that it looks to have cost about a dollar and a half. But looks are deceiving. However, the cost must have been trifling in comparison with the great cost of automobiles. The man of limited means and extended notions of pleasure takes courage at seeing the good looking, inexpensive "craft," thinking that his day will soon come. The town council of Suffolk, Va. last week gave its official sanction to the appearance of Booker T. Washington, the Negro educator, on the lecture platform there June 21, and appropriated $25 for his entertainment. The council also appointed a committee of three from its membership to co-operate in the success of Prof. Washington's appearance there A. H. Crocker, a Negro, appeared and urged co-operation in the efforts of the Negroes "to entertain the biggest man of their race." A Carnegie medal was denied an individual the other day because he did not endanger his own life in saving that of another individual. Well, if the thing was reversed, all people being given medals that had endangered their lives in saving some one else, the medal shop would look like a mint. The risks referred to, perhaps, would not be those great displays of bravery, such as plunging in streams, preventing drowning, but in other ways that do not savor of what is popularly termed heroism. June is just as ideal as it can be. Really, it has no chance to go bogus, or but very little so. It is the month midway between fierce summer heat and the cold of winter, where blasts from either meet, mingle, melt, making those rare days of which the poet speaks—a breezy warmth that invigors, feeling like the waves from a hot stove suddenly met up with on a cold day in January. The sun is careering, careening and peering, as if determined to do its whole duty in leaving no spot untouched; almost human in its knowledge of how to twist about at the right time. No wonder the sun had its worshipers in the past. The Negroes of the United States control 301 newspapers. Following is a list according to States: Mississippi, 35; Georgia, 26; South Carolina, 18; North Carolina, 17; Alabama, 16; Arkansas, 16; Florida, 15; Texas, 14; Louisiana, 12; Tennessee, 12; Pennsylvania, 12; Oklahoma, 10; Virginia, 10; Kentucky, 9; Illinois, 9; Missouri, 9; Maryland, 7; Kansas, 6; Ohio, 6; Colorado, 5; New Jersey, 5; Massachusetts, 5; New York, 5; Indiana, 4; Washington, 5; Iowa, 3; West Virginia, 2; Delaware, 2; California, 1; Michigan, 1; Minnesota, 1; Montana, 1; Rhode Island, 1; Wisconsin, 1; Utah, 1; Nevada, 1. Without Negro papers: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and Connecticut.—The American Annual Newspaper Directory. It is not good public policy to pursue a course, even in administering doubtful justice, that may cause riots and bloodshed in half the States of the Union. Such a condition would be worse than any crime, or any offense, yet committed as a part of this whole unfortunate affair, from the commission of the deed which shocked this community to the action of the Supreme Court at Washington yesterday afternoon. It is not presuming too much, we think, to say that probably the Supreme Court now sees the case in these lights and desires to get it out of the way.—The Chattanooga News. And most assuredly if both races see it the same way. What justice was to be meted out to Captain Shipp was due as much to race demand as otherwise. Since the race is satisfied, in a manner, it's the quietus of the affair. This from the viewpoint of races; it remains to be seen what the court will do. W. H. Whittaker, of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville, Ind., speaking of the accomplishments of those under him, recently had the following to say: "Of the 104 fellows (or at least a very large per cent of them) who have finished school work and are capable of entering high school on the outside, 15 were illiterate when they entered this institution, they could neither read nor write; 26 were only capable of doing work in the second grade; 22 were only capable of doing work in the third grade, and 38 were capable of doing work in the fourth grade. Three had had sufficient common school education, and these three have completed the work in our mechanical drawing department, which makes 104 who have completed the work laid down by the superintendent of schools of this institution. Not only this, but a majority of them have had an opportunity to learn a very good and useful trade while in the institution. Taking it all in all, those 104 fellows, in my judgment, will go out and make useful and honorable citizens of the communities where they may go." THE BAPTIST S. S. CONGRESS AT NASHVILLE. The National Baptist Sunday School Congress claimed the attention of Nashville this week. The city was filled with young people; they came from everywhere; every part of the country sent delegates to what was considered the most distinguished gathering of the kind ever assembled. The officers of the Congress follows: Rev. P. James Bryant, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., from the B. Y. P. U. Board; Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board, is Blackboard Critic; Rec. J. P. Robinson, D. D., Little Rock, Ark., chairman of the Home Mission Board; Rev. W. S. Ellington, B. A., D. D., Nashville, Tenn., Congress Ar- Advance, from other that it opposed biter; Prof. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., Recording Secretary; Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., Chairman of the National Baptist Publishing Board and President of the Congress, and Henry A. Boyd, Secretary of the Congress Movement. Mrs. Linley wishes to thank the public for the interest shown in this effort to secure Dr. Warren Chapel M. E. Church, W. J. King, pastor...The city is filled up with visitors attending the Normal, T. W. Pratt, conductor, R. E. Pine has gone to Mineral Wells for his health. His late wife Mira with wife Mimi with wife Mimi MINISTER HENRY W. FURNISS. Indianapolis has been honored during the past few weeks with the presence of Minister Henry W. Furniss, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Hayti, and Mrs. Furniss, who have been visiting in this city, where he was reared since childhood and where he has relatives. Minister Furniss is in this country on a sixty days' leave of absence granted him by this government, which he will spend between Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Chicago, Boston and New York. He left this city Sunday, after spending three weeks here, going from here to Chicago, from whence he goes to Boston, then to New York, from which port he will sail on his return trip to his home at Port-au-Prince. He visited Washington before coming to this city, where his old friends, made during a long residence at that place, during which time he held an important government position and attended Howard University (graduating from its medical department), vied with each other in extending social courtesies to Minister and Mrs. Furniss, Minister Furniss bears with himself a lofty prestige, born in part of his high intellectual attainments, which have been accompanied throughout his career with an unswerving sense of integrity. Add to these qualities his standing as a representative of the United States government, which he has had the honor to represent for nearly a decade, first as the Consul to Bahai, an important seat of the South American government, and from which he was promoted to the position of Minister to Haiti, and we have a combination not equaled by another member of the race. The last named appointment was made, according to the published statement of President Roosevelt, solely upon Mr. Furniss' merit, whom the President declared had proven one of the most capable and efficient among the entire list of foreign diplomats. The appointment carries with it a salary in amount equal to several times that ordinarily paid a foreign appointee. Minister Furniss has been especially praised for his management of the affairs of this government during the recent uprising in Haiti. Reports say he is much beloved by the people of Haiti, and has been instrumental in bringing about a closer friendship and commercial relation between that country and the United States. In short, the real worth of the man has been so thoroughly demonstrated as to place no check on its full recognition by all fair-minded persons. Special interest was attached to the recent visit of Minister Furniss because he was accompanied by Mrs. Furniss, who was making her first visit to the home of her husband. Mrs. Furniss, who is a bright, capable woman, is keenly alive to all that interests her distinguished husband, and is well versed in national and international customs. She speaks several languages, has a well-poised bearing, and is genial and affable in temperament. Minister Furniss expressed no plans touching the policy he would pursue upon his return to Haiti, but will, we believe, in the future, as in the past, meet every emergency with the same tact and sagacity which has so abundantly characterized his actions in every exigency.

The game was played at the Giants' park, Twenty-eighth street and Broadway. The game was fast, interesting and snappy, and would have been much better but for some parts of the diamond being muddy. The Cubans won the game by a score of 4 to 1.

The Giants forward full of singles and snap and succeeded in bringing in one score, leaving three men on the bases. After the first inning both teams got down to read ball playing, and they made nothing up to the fifth inning, when the Stars landed another score. Nat Rogers, Walton and Williams, of the Giants, and Bustamante and Parpette, of the Cubans, played the ball. Bustamante made three of the six hits that were made off of Hale and Coleman, Pugh and Carter made hits off of them. The Giants, made a sensational catch that was well worth the applause it received. The pitching of Mendez, good fielding and team work was the feature points in the game. The team played an excellent game against a team that has a record of holding the Cincinnati Nationals down and shutting out the Wiedemann.

The Giants game was game from the Collegians, of Nashville, by a score of 7 to 0, and the second from the Giants, by a score of 8 to 2. The Giants visited, but the second, in many respects, was interesting and a better article of ball was played. The side was able to first imitate the first imitation of bans and the Giants, but in the fourth the Cubans made two hits and started around the diamond at break-neck speed. The Giants came in. In this inning Bates muffled a fly in right field that caused two of the runners to score, and Pugh's bad throw at home plate caused the other two to Margrinat was the pitcher for the Cubans, and the locals picked up courage and began hitting the ball until three men were on bases. A fade went to the bat in the first inning, and made a shot-saved a shut-out by bringing in a man on third base. In the sixth inning the Cubans did some excellent batting and the visitors brought in three scores. Hale, of the Giants, put out seven men and Margrinat two. Poor fielding and costly errors lost the game for the locals, when the visitors played a good game in every part of the game.

The circuit will be known as the Jacob circuit. always, at least it didn't some few days ago in New York, when he signed a contract for an engagement at the Hammerstein and at a theater in Connecticut for a new theater engagement, and sent a man Connecticut styling himself as "Irving Jones." In some way it was discovered that the man was not the original Irving, and now two managers are about to sue Mr. Jones in a large way. Recently the Whiting Brothers—Salem and Homer—closed their time at the Lincoln Theater, Cal. Johnson's house at Mammoth Mountain and he and his team, Ta., Va., where they are writing new music and lyrics for the Southern Smart Set Company. Now, these two brothers are about as busy a pair of performers as they are in the theater, only prepare their own sketches, plays and songs, but do a great deal of outside work. It is possible that Mr. Salem Whitney will make this Southern company a great success. The brothers are a very popful in the Southern Whitneys and Billy Kersands and Neal Moore have been to the Southern theater-goer. Bud Hill, formerly of the team of Hunt and Hill, is back in old Hoosierdom, and does not talk quietly to Bill Walden and Charley Harrison. Mr. Hill is the one best bet when it comes to musical comedy, and I have often wondered why he did not get at the class companies. He is a comedian, and he can do well as a straight man. He has an exceptionally strong, tuneful voice. The station was obact between Bud, Bill and Charley. Bud is going to put on a big three-act musical comedy at the Hinton station but the date has not been set. Say Buf, "Hattle is going to preside at the piano." GLORIOUS DEHOMEY. The grand old stroll is simply "busting" with good times. How can we stand it? We have taken the east side of State Park and landed on some sunless conclosures. One good bit of news that will help matters along is that three gentlemen of color have cut in deep in the eafe line—Burlington, Russell and Dago—and George, suit of, St. Louis, has also dropped in. As to the theaters along the stroll, the war is on for good. From a reliable source we are informed that the Pekin will work with the owners to grow in value and will book their acts direct from the Western Association, and fall in line with the other houses on the price question. The other managers have grown in value and will book their acts direct from the already boiling pot of trouble. One of the best known producers in the West is going to open a ten-cent shop. I am not sure if they will have any success in writing, but it looks like a disbanding of the original Pekin Stock Company for once, unless they can arrange vaudeville acts that company has not been the annual success of the company. To be plain about the matter, the five and ten-cent houses have put every outlying house in Chicago out of the business and have drawn not over a week or two outside of the loop. It’s vaudeville the people want, and they are going to have it, that’s all, for the people to hear. The Pekin will hear at Bar鲁斯 and Paderewski on the same bill. The present popular demand for vaudeville has put good colored acts right in theaters, and there are fifteen good colored acts that tracens in their inside pockets for twenty and thirty weeks at good figures. The Grand and the Monogram are still at it, both putting up capital bills. The latter has evened up matters somewhat in the past, but it has been as good, if not better. The Grand has one standing attraction that can't be beat anywhere—that sensational Musical Trio. The three pieces can play anything from chimes to a Zulu pot dance, and would be a highlight in Ingegra. The Temple of Music really has a shuttlete. It is no strange thing to see auto parties from down town dropping in to see the six boys with their boots on, and George Hali has a run of thirty weeks at the Saratoga. Cheers and Jones have opened up a new circuit of their own from all reports they are burning up the road ahead. Glass & Glass are out on the Association time, filling ten weeks in Michigan. Toben Brow, Kentucky's only representative as cornet player, has a flattering offer to play first cornet in Jim Lacey's band during the Seattle Fair, and he has accepted. Fred Simpson, the trombone player and leader of the Georgia Minstrels Band, makes a soloist in Dehomey at the Mono and as a soloist. He is billed and labeled as the goods. The names of Morris and Morris, Fiddler and Shelton were left off the list of acts that have played Dehoney. If the force of the song is strong, the forces see their names on a bill, go, and see them. A little bomb was dropped around the Pekin when the reports that there would be a change in the executive department became facts. Smiling Thomas Motts, the chief of the department, continued lay-off. Tom has been connected with the house ever since it came into prominence, and worked up to treasure, and was one of the pleasing features in the box office of the movie. He knows the business from A to Z, and should be fine as a manager of a small theater. The other surprise came in the announcement that Aaron Johnson, the director of the part of the cafe, had severed his connection. So many had come and gone since he had charge that he seemed like a fix- ture, but Aaron is gone. erally scorn such "tenderfooted" associat- ion. He is an Episcopallian, the church RAMBLING. Elwood C. Knox is what you might term a near actor, just like that well-known beverage that you can scarcely get through courtesy "near beer." Really, young Knox has done a bit of acting in his time. Some years ago he was interlocutor in a minibus with a friend from dianapolis is the home of quite a number of professional people, this show had a considerable sprinkling of that class, making it as a whole a fairly good presentation, and of course, you do, and of a good kind. You know he will not be accused of verbosity. And that was just enough to keep continuous flow of dozen words—this, of course, judging by the small amount of talking he does. But he accepted the part, and had to come through it. He was as graceful as Chesterfield, really charming in his manner, if a man can ever be considered so. So we can't tell always what's in an individual until he is Besides having been actually on the boards, behind real footlights, he is the man who has been asked to California, from gulf to lakes ask colored actors of Elwood Knox. Owing to his residence in Indianapolis, and, of course, his own experience, he has been looked forward to with pleasure by the stage people whenever included in their routes. They are not disappointed by his performance, and the wood has established a reputation for cheer and comraderie that he keeps perpetuated. Like the honest merchant of goods, he has a line of goods. Knox does not find it difficult to keep up his goods, which have always been more in quality than quantity. And now for another surprise, "Woody," as he is familiar with in Indianapolis, "to the Strange!' on one for one who inclines so strongly to the sporting life of the city," courage, for men of his glass company. To speak of Mr. Knox as a newspaper man would be a long, long story. Yet this title mention would not be complete, because reference was made to him in the field of journalism at the beginning, but must jump in media res—in the middle of things. Then I make no mistake when I say that the man is at the head of the first journal, and that his circulation is its circulation in extent vies with the leading newspapers of the world. Perhaps no other paper goes so many places; it follows grooves around the globe. Associated with that journal, he has built up an enviable business, the patrons of which are not confined to one race. Many white business firms find it to their advantage to patronize THE FREE-associated newspapers, their goods through its columns, satisfied with the receipt of the widest possible advertisement. Mr. Knox has around him a staff of the best colored newspaper men possible to characterize need, no other paper has the character and interest. In R. W. Thompson he has a paragraph writer and newspaper correspondent not want to be hampered by classified material, but stands with the best of any race. His editor stands alone, unrivaled; no one of his race thinks of trying to get in his business, nor does his newspaperist. THE FREEMAN has the only cartoons that may be mentioned in relation to cartoons appearing in white papers, of course, and white papers greatly outclass them. He has no better move have no better. His sporting editor is a young man with eyes all over him—sees everything; is also an artist who can draw, and has a shining smile but he's got THE FREEMAN habit. The chief of the composing room has no superior among his race; he was an old-line apprentice in a white shop, serving as a secretary and shining words, he is a master of arts as it applies to the printing business. The leading advertising man is a team by himself, his business is in thousands, finally. The leading lady of the room is a thorough all-around clerk, a sometimes manager, and a writer of merit. The leading lady of the room is a writer she glances at her instrument incidentally only. Then his correspondents throughout the country are legion, including Louisville, Ky. a versatile writer who also does duty on the well-known Courier-Journal of that city. Doubtless the above appears as overpraise, but what has been said is very near the truth. If anything, the condition of the business is quite certain. They have been underrated. Over these presides Mr. Knox, the young man of business. He deserves commending for the piloting of this business to success. It was through his business that he gained his skilled help, that THE FREEMAN came to its own as a money-making undertaking, and not a money-losing venture that it had been. Young Knox may be found to be a businessman, and business, conducting his office as white offices are conducted. Whatever of sport he may think or know is doffed at the door, and there enters one of the leading businessmen in the city, who has no thought or act excepting for business. Whatever opinion the outside world may entertain of him, the hush of business is not the kind of business him best think most of him; it is not usually the way. Usually good opinions are entertained abroad when poor ones are entertained at home. Those that have been successful in business time will rise up and testify as to the official righteousness of Elwood C. Knox. SIEWL.

DAYTON MARCOS SEIZE TWO GAMES FROM RICHMOND Joe Benton, 17 Years Old, Shows Remarkable Ability in Game Against Dayton Cubs Sunday. DAYTON, O.—The famous Dayton, Marcos under the personal management of Jake McFarland, better known as the Island Man, are still taking the scale of their tims are the Richmond (Ind.) Giants, who were beaten two games Decoration came to the Island Hoops. Many rooters came over to the Island Hoops hope, but returned somewhat down-hearted. In the person of Sloane, the local Richmond team was at puzzled ends. Cough, stop, was in the game every minute, and both teams played excellent ball. The game resulted, Dayton Marcos, 9; Richmond, second was 7 to 3 in favor of the Marcos. Last Sunday, in an exhibition game last the Dayton Cubs, a local white organization surprised on the fans in the person of Master Joe Benton, a young lad, 17 years of age, whom he placed on the mound, and who was the only player to two hits. This youngster bids fair to become a professional. His home is in Miami, a suburb of Dayton, and he is a senior in the school of that town. In addition, Benton pitches for the high school team, having pitched seven games and won five. The team won the nineteen inning game he won. Owing to slight accident to his arm in the sixth inning Sunday, Manager McFarland put the ball out of the strike zone time speed and the audience fairly went wild. The white boys seemed afraid of underbatteries. In the eighth inning Captain Benton left-field fence, which was counted a home run. The score resulted: Marcos 7, Kansas 5, Sunday the Cincinnati Cubs will cross bats in July 4, the famous Waldorfs, of Cincinnati, will compete for Marcos' honors. CUBS WIN FROM HOOSIER BOYS IN THE NINTH Louisvilleans Beat A. B. C.'s in Fast Game—Herron, Davis and Booker Made Home Runs. Special to THE FREEMAN LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 6—With a few Indianapolis fans, 2,000 thirty-fourth degree fans saw one of the fiercest battles of recent years. Both teams were carried off the fielding honors for the A. B. game he gave the best exhibition of left-field playing seen here this season. Pitcher Talbert kept the hits well scattered until he was hit by a pitch. Brisco made an unusually good hunt; Colins hit safe to right center, filling the bases. Watson, coming to the bat, received the slud hand from the fans, and the ball was thrown in, washing the ball for two bases, bringing in another winning the game. West pitched a grand uphill game, and deserved to win. A fast double play was pulled off by Wallace and Martin, which put a crimp in the A. B. C's run getting. Following is the RHE. A. B.

Merida caught a good game, but could not get his famous long hit. Left Fielder Davis made a hit with the crowd by his good, all-round playing. Say, boys, that was a hard game to lose, all right. Better luck next time. Watson robbed Marc of a hit when he sprinted and nabbed the ball in the seventh inning. Wallace is playing good ball. He made several good stops which called for Louisville's applause. Emory is getting his batting eye trimmed. He got two bingles out of three times up, Sunday. West pulled out of two tight places. That's right, old boy; use your head as well as your arm. Captain Booker is swatting the ball in a la Hans Wagner style, and he is playing some ball at short. Talbert has one ball that is a daisy. It appears to stop, and then starts out fresh with the speed of a cyclone. Brisco, Robinson and Emory did not have much to do. Still, they took care of everything in reach. Nice catch you made, Emory. Old Jack Nutter seems to please the most skeptic, and as an umpire he is hard to excel. Remember that an umpire is human. We all make mistakes sometimes. Herron and Davis thought it was very funny when they both made home runs by knocking the ball over left-field fence. Captain Booker thought he would try the ball. We knew what he did, and that is the second one. CUBAN STARS SET PACE TOO FAST FOR CUBS Kentuckians Could Not Cross the Pan —Errors Were Costly to Cubs —Martin Pitched. Special to THE FREEMAN. LOUISVILLE, KY—Monday afternoon the Cuban Stars satisfied the fans that they are world beaters. They defeated the Cubs in five games and presented them with a shutout. The game was all in favor of the Cuban Stars, and at no time did the Cubs have a chance to score. The boys from Cuba are real stars. They have three hits. Inability at the bat and costly errors at critical times helped the boys from Cuba. Following is the score: Cuban Stars... 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 - 5 7 0 Cuban Stars... 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 - 5 7 0 Lou.

PADUCAH WINS IN TWELVE-INNING GAME Fultons Make Game Fight, but Are Downed by a Score of 4 to 3—Losing Pitcher Fans Twelve Men. PADUCAH, Ky—One of the hardest fought games that has been played at Rowlandtown Park and which went four innings it took place in. It was played in Paducah's vor. The Paducah Nationals started out like winners by making two runs in the first inning, but in the sixth inning the Paducah Nationals inched in and the score. In the eighth inning ended one run. Then until the fourteenth there was a long struggle for honors, which ended in Paducah scoring one run, winning the game, and then throwing a threemonth game played before big crowds of reporters both teams were on the scene of hostility, rooting constantly for their respective nines. Several good stops and catches were made, and the teams Rodgers, Thomas and Head, on the field, did some star work for the Nationals. Armstrong, for the Fultons, distinguished himself in driving from Grogan's bat in the third inning. Butts, who assumed charge of the pitching at the beginning of the second inning for the Fultons, showed that he was a force in the game, and three men that faced him. Lovily, for the Nationals, was almost unittable, and struck out twelve. The play of the game was the all-round playing of the visions he put up one of the best games that has been played here this season. Score: R. H.E.

The league, which met at Columbus last week, advocated a departure from the Republican party on the part of the Negro voters. It had it that it wanted party lines forgotten. The cry is not a new one, either by that or- ganization or by individuals through- out the country more or less promi- Se TE eee Senta eee. been an amazing amount of independ- ent talking. It has not always panned out according to the estimate, but at that the thought is growing, and it will not be long before colored voters separate into camps as the white vot- ers, and for the same reasons. This on the supposition that their interest will demand division coming about for other reasons, such as inability to haye certain great changes within in a short period, when the same is of the dull, plodding processes of the ages would be senseless and would invite antagonism, since these great changes are racial and will not be worked by one set of white men as against another set. ‘Whatever notion is maintained of the Negroes by white people is enter- taified the country over—not in de- gree always in all places, but in kind. We as Negroes have no hope from any party now in existence in these great- er matters. ‘The white men long since have forgotten party lines when it comes to colored meh. To them the situation demands it. And the most of us must believe that when Presi- dent and a prospective President, Messrs, Roosevelt and Taft, found it necessary to take a pronounced stand ‘on the race question, and that in the face of an ‘approaching election in which either were greatly interested, that it was not without method. This standing out by the then and the pros- pective Presidents was a lesson for those that cared to read. Many did read. And never in the history of President making, when the colored voters were included, did Republican presidential candidates receive such indifferent support. by the colored vot- ers. The voting at the polls, we may think, was regular enough, and no 90 per cent defection, or deflection either, so triumphantly spoken of. But it was in the air, and in consequence very few can even make demands of the party, based on party service. So we have this unctuous waiting, by men who were not courageous enough to acknowledge the conditions, or who pinned their faith to some other fel- low’s way of thinking, or who perhaps see questions from one side only— contented with the observation. Well, it was not saving, as this instance shows. Many did read, were surprised, per- haps vexed. They only saw the re- sult and not the whereases that led up to the result. We may rest as- sured that when a President takes a pronounced stand on the Negro ques- tion, he knows what he is doing. Many of us act as if we thought he took the stand of his own initiative— that is, unsupported by public senti- ment, Public men are the experts in reading public sentiment. What was done was thought to be as a preserva- tive to the country; and if we are so careless to think the ery was a party trick to win favor, it would be worse from the fact that it made good, proy- ing the whereabouts of the people. ‘The league, we think, will miss it when it seeks to prosper by condemn- ing those things which brought Mr. Taft to the presidency. He has been particularly plain and fair to the Ne- groes. He has not held out much, in- ducement at any time, it was known. His views on the Southern Constitu- tions were known. He stands for the latter amendments to the Constitution. If the league thinks of a division of the vote owing to what has just been discussed, it may as well shut up shop now. What party or parties are ad- yoeating or will advocate the Negro's cause according to the program of the league? It’s no use talking up in the air, seeing nothing, knowing nothing. We may as well conclude that it is just as well to stay in one party as another when it comes to a pure race question. The question will not be solved at the ballot box as it was on the battlefield. Here we have to do with wills of men, prompted by their hearts pr their minds, where physical force if of little avail. How to com- pel white men to sufficiently consider colored men is the league's business more than how to compel a President to do this or that. When the people are right, administrations are right, and which are a reflex of the people. It is a big job to reform the millions, but it’s got to be done, or we may ex- pect things to grow civilly and politi- cally worse, crystallizing into a con- dition which means forever. MAKING GOOD ON THE FARM. What would become of the laboring man in New York, Chicago or a New England farm, or an Arizona ranch, who averaged only 112 days’ work in a year? What would the Kansas farmer do with a “hired man” who loafed 200 working days a year? What would become of the prosperity of Illi- nois and Iowa if the tenant farmers in these States were voluntarily idle two- thirds of the time? Yet these Negroes make money far more than any other laborers on earth —an astonishing amount, when the quantity and quality of their work is considered. Out of 100 families on a certain plantation, more than seventy- five families cleared from $300 to $600 a year after paying all living expenses, ‘They lived, had everything they need- ed and at the end of the year had that much money in cash due them from the planter. Yet, bear in mind, these Negroes averaged only 112 days’ work in the year. ‘Take the average clerk or office em- ploye in a city who earns a salary of $100 a month. He puts in 313 days of hard work, and his wife counts every penny that is spent. Add to this the earnings of his sons and daughters. How many city families of industrious and intelligent white people can pay their living expenses and save from $300 to $600 a year?—Hampton’s Magazine, ‘The above is quite out of the ordi- nary, a remarkable showing, proving that ‘with just passable conditions the man who will will make it. We have spoken of this phase of labor, and be- cause of the abundance of chances to meke success. Then again there's the least discrimination, as we have said so often. The work is not advo- cated as such—simply as work. There will come a time when agriculture will not be advised; it will be when the chances for success are not what they are today. The same can be said of other business where the colored peo- ple should be engaged. Already white men are setting up THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

The origination of what promises to be a famous case, and of which the Supreme Court took cognizance, con- demning Sheriff Shipp, of Chattanoo- ga, and others for negligence of duty in failing to protect the Negro Jobn- son against the lynchers, here fol- lows: “About 7:30 or 8 o'clock on the night of January 19 Miss Nevetta Tay- lor, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Taylor, who reside near Oak Hill Cemetery, in St. Elm, it is alleged, was criminaliy assaulted by a Negro. ' The young woman was returning to her home from the city, where she was employed. “The following day Ed Johnson, a Negro, was arrested on strong circum- stantial evidence. He was taken to Nashville by Sheriff Shipp for safe- keeping and two days later Miss Tay- lor identified him as her assailant, “Johnson was brought back here a few weeks later and tried in the Criminal Court. He was defended by three of Chattanooga's best lawyers, and convicted and sentenced to be hanged. Judge S. D. McReynolds sen- tenced him to hang on March 17. “After Johnson's trial two local col- ored lawyers took up his case and sueceeded in getting it before the United States Supreme Court. “On the day before Johnson was sentenced to be hanged an order came from the United States Supreme Court at Washington instructing that the sentence of the Tennessee court be stayed, and that the execution be postponed. “On the following night, March 19, a number of masked men appeared at the county jail. Night Jailer Gibson was in the office and the men at once overpowered him and took his keys away. Others joined the mob, and in a comparatively short time the iron bars were beat down, the doors of the prison smashed in and Johnson was taken from his cell. “The mob took the Negro to the county bridge, where he made a state- ment to the effect that he was inno- cent of the crime. He was hanged with a piece of rope secured from a passing street car and his body riddled with bullets.” THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT TAKES COGNIZANCE. “The case of John F. Shipp, sheriff of Hamilton county, Tenn., and nine others, charged with contempt of the Supreme Court of the United States in connection with the lynching of a Negro named Ed Johnson, at Chatta- nooga, in March, 1905, was finally dis- posed of by that'court yesterday in an opinion by Chief Justice Fuller, which directed that an attachment issue for Shipp, his deputy, Gibson, and de- fendants Williams, Nolan, Padgett and May. The information as to deputy sheriff Galloway and Justice and ‘Ward, three of the defendants, was dismissed. “The charge of contempt against Sheriff Shipp and his co-defendants was due to the fact that when Jobn- son was lynched he was constructively in the custody of the court. Only a month before the Negro had been found guilty of the crime of assault and had been sentenced to death. “The Supreme Court had taken cog- nizance of the case by granting an appeal from a decision of the United States Circuit Court denying him a writ of habeas corpus which effected a stay of proceedings. The appeal was allowed March 29, and that night Johnson was taken out of the jail at Chattanooga and hanged. The case aroused much interest in the South. “The chief justice presented a com: plete review of the Johnson case. He concluded that neither Shipp nor his deputy Gibson had made any effort to prevent the removal of Johnson from the jail, to prevent his killing after he was taken out, nor to discover the participants in the lynching after it took place. It will lie with the court to determine the degree of punish- ment that may be inflicted upon the men found guilty. Justice Peckham delivered a dissenting opinion, “The court will pass sentence on the meh Tuesday, June 1.” AS VIEWED IN AN AFRICAN JOURNAL. ‘The trips to Africa by ex-President Roosevelt has been the means of draw- ing attention to all things American by the press of the old world. Even Africa, that new, old country, does not disdain to make observations. In quite a lengthy contribution by one who styles himself “James,” in the Lagos Standard, West Coast Africa, among a number of things more or less interesting, he said: ‘The school of oppression has been a hard school, but it has taught them the lesson of union and cooperation, which it is said the Negro sadly lacks. Cooperative stores, syndicates and es- tablishments for the manufacture and sale of their own goods have sprung up rapidly, especially within the past two decades, and which Is the most en- couraging feature of the progress of the race. Among such establishments recently founded is the Coloured Doll Manu- facturing Company, formed for the purpose of manufacturing dolls for colored children. It has been found that all, or nearly all the dolls made and sold to coloured children are “white” dolls, and whenever there are any “black” dolls made, they are simp- ly caricatures of the race.

The recital was given at Allen and the University of Iowa, "State of Iowa Club" of the church and "The Book Lovers' Club" of the Y. C. P. A. The two organizations had so thoroughly heralded Miss Hansbury's coming, setting forth the importance that a large and representative audience was present. Miss Hansbury, whose playing sl of the classic order, was at her home in Indianapolis, where she performed technique and her soulful interpretation of each selection, held her audience spelbound throughout the entire program. Her selections were from Wagner-Liszta, and from the works of the most noted composers, with whom she showed as much familiarity as with the letters of the alphabet. Her closing number, which was written in the arrayman script, was Saint-Saulis closed, rounds of hearty applause which each number had occasioned.
