RANSOM SAYS NEGRO IS VALUABLE ASSET The meeting was held under the auspices of the Washington Commercial Council, the principal business organization of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, and ranged in conjunction with the Bethel Literary and Historical Association. Bethel Literary this year, under the brilliant guidance of the late Bethel Gregoire, has made a specialty of joining hands with the several helpful civic organizations and educational institutions of the community, including the Nebraska Museum of the Luminous fashion. President Gregory called the meeting to order Tuesday evening, and after Mrs. Carrie W. Ickford had read the minutes of the previous session, he introduced Mrs. Gregoire as the president of the Commercial Council, as the presiding officer of the occasion. Mr. R. Thompson, corresponding secretary of the organization, was the chief work of the body up to the present, and the achievements chronicle gave ample evidence that the organization was living up to its mission. Mr. Richard C. Bundy, the chief executive of the organization at Morovia, Liberia, was introduced and his brief speech was happily received by the audience. He expected great success in the conference, and the assurance that he would do all that lay in his power to serve his race and country as their representative abroad. Mr. Bundy授予 an honorary member of the Council. Among other significant things in the course of this meeting attendance was representative of the best interment and character of the District, and in lieu of the deceased he delegates called to attend the session of the Church Extension and Financial Hours of the Board of Trustees to get up so successful and profitable that the Commercial Council "scored" heavily. --- meetings of the Church Extension and church financial boards of the A. M. E. Church administrators, together with a congregation administrators that are the visitors were lead in their praise of the hospitality dispensed by Dr. P. H. Burst financial secretary, and Dr. B. P. Watson, assistant secretary. tension Board. The wisdom of the connection in purchasing the properties on 14th street for the accommodation of the church's success was amply demonstrated. The property was purchased for $20,000 and the present headquarters of the financial department at the corner of 14th and Q streets was bought for $20,000. The success of the business never throughtare, however, has materially increased their value, and now the two pieces would bring not less than $40,000. The financial department is serving one of four years in the Kas, one of the country's ablest prelates, presided over the deliberations of the financial department is serving one of four years in the Kas, also a member of the Jeanes Rural School Fund, of which President Taft is a member, and of which Dr. Booker T. Washing- The financial report showed that nearly $2,000,000 had been raised during the current year, coming in from what is known as the financial report. The financial report money thus raised is used in the educational work of the denomination; 10 percent is turned over to the Board of Church Administration; 50 percent is retained for various conferences; the support of superannuated ministers, widows of ministers and orphans, etc., and the remaining portion is used for the collection and disbursement of the salaries of the bishop, general officers and other denominational needs. The financial department 'was created at the General Conference which met in Nahanni, New York, in 1888, a medium for the collection and disbursement of the funds of the church. For the village, and for the village, and was then removed to Wilberforce, Ohio, where it remained until its location in this city in 1888. The department has had nine secretaries, and nearly, if not all, of the clergy. The bishopric at the close of their term of service. The present financial secretary, Dr. John F. Hurst, is a man of unusual ability. He is a graduate of the University of Nahanni, and a copal bench at the earliest opportunity. He is a native of Haiti, was once secretary of the Haitian Legation, and is a graduate of the University of Nahanni. He is a copal bench at theological and economic problems Dr. Hurst has few equals. Up to the time he took charge of the financial department, he was the author of the receipts of the current year bring this total to the $3,000,000 mark. Wednesday last fifty ministers, including the members of the two boards and others, called upon Persident Taft to pay their reequests, the members of the two boards, the Bishop Grant, Bishop Derrick and Register W. T. Vernon. The visitors were cordially received and the famous "Taft smile" was in evidence throughout the day. The pilots of the two boards were expressed in a document read by Dr. A. J. Carey of Chicago. The President was assured that the colored people highly appreciated his recommendation to Congress for acquiring 38 per cent. of the deposits made by the colored citizens in the ill-fated Freedmen's Bank, and were also mindful of the President's recommendation to Congress for acquiring 38 per cent. of the fifth anniversary of his emancipation. Bishop Grant followed with a short address. Liberia's future came in complimentary mention. President Taft stated that he was glad to see the delegation and congratulated them upon the strength shown by the calling which they represented. They responded by continuing to the fifth anniversary of his emancipation in the matter of the Freedmen's Bank and the exposition measures and felt that something would ultimately be done for the relief of the world still missing in the uplift of the Negro people throughout the land. Mr. Charles Stewart, the well-known newspaper correspondent, spent the week. The season was a pleasant one for the natives of churchmen and or our people in general. The Committee on Banking and Currency of the House gave a thorough hearing this week to representatives of the race who are pushing the passage of the bill to the state of the depositors of the state Freedman's Savings and Trust Company. The principal address was made by former Register J. W. Lyons, mitted in charge of the composition of the bill to E. B. Vreeland, New York, chairman; Henry McMorran, Michigan; G. D. McCreary, Pennsylvania; E. A. Hayes, California; J. W. Weeks, Massachusetts; P. E. Guernsey, Kentucky; K. Kansas; P. E. Guernsey, Maine; C. S. Millington, New York; James Joyce, Ohio; W. O. Barnard and H. A. Barnhard, Indiana; W. H. Heald, Georgia; G. E. Virginia; O.ille M. Kentucky; O. W. Gillespie, Texas; J. G. McHenry, Pennsylvania, and W. S. Hammond, Minnesota. Sixty-one thousand one hundred and thirty-one dollars is affected by this bill and the money to be appropriated-$1,291,700—will be distributed to Negroes living in nearly every State in the Union. Many of the original depositors, formerly of the State, have moved away West; their descendants have moved away from the old home. The Senate committee has already recommended the bill for passage and it is understood that the State will support similar action, Democrats and Republicans alike supporting it. A summary of the original deposits in the Freedman's Bank, showing the vast territory over which the depositors are holding this time. The amount of money credited to the various cities in the original statement of the Freedman's Bank was as follows: Norfolk, Va. ..... $128,337 Savannah, Ga. ..... 153,425 Louisville, Ky. ..... 124,354 Raleigh, NC ..... 28,703 Maryland, Ala. ..... 29,743 Wilmington, N. C. ..... 45,225 Lexington, Ky. ..... 34,193 Richmond, Va. ..... 14,184 Baltimore, Md. ..... 203,947 Baltimore, MD. ..... 344,071 Newberne, N. C. ..... 40,631 Mobile, Ala. ..... 96,144 Philadelphia, Pa. ..... 64,455 St. Louis ..... 58,397 Use the pending apportion these cities will be allotted $25 per cent. of the above amounts. A still broader area will be benefited than is here indicated, for many of the depositors, their bodies are pushing and reside in places not mentioned in this summary. The bill will be the best piece of legislation the Negro has gotten through. Congress time, and more than are pushing it deserve the full of the race everywhere.

Dr. Lewis is very proud of his increase of practice. Miss Sophia Johnson, one of the most successful physicians in the city, already a number of young men are preparing to give her a pleasant time. Miss Johnson is a teacher at the Pearl Street school, which is regarded as the model school of Louisville. One of the newest enterprises is that of Porter & Prentice. They are the only two Negro graduates of the pharmaceutical department of the University of Louisville, who have opened a drug store at West 91st Street. They are centrally located, with a splendid outlook for a good business. Chicago will be crowded this summer from all parts of the country, while there will be the usual infuix, the number is expected to be increased this year. Louisville and Indianapolis will make social visits; others will come to take courses at the schools that give post-graduate courses. Jack Johnson's friends are getting their money together. They believe that the champion will return from the West victorious. Already a host of Chicago's local sports are planning to go to the fight. S. H. Dudley, of the Smart Set Company, plans to make social visits. Every one seemed to in his party from this city. The postoffice clerk's entertainment given at Quinn Chapel Library is large, attended.

Dr. Healy, who conducts the Psychopathic Institute of the Juvenile Court, stated this week that the juvenile organization of Chicago is considered one of the most important organizations in this country or in the world.

William Foster, who writes under the name of "Jull Jones," is still selling songs and doing a land office business at Thirty-first and State streets.

His place is located at Thirty-sixth Place and State street. The Chicago Association of Commerce is planning to give ex-President Roosevelt a visit to the Chicago office of the president of the association, will go to New York when Mr. Roosevelt arrives, and extend his visit to the Chicago office to visit the great Western city.

Majors, a professor of history at the University of the city, and the doctor claims that the booklet is well worth reading by all race lovers.

THOMPSON Bwana Tumbo will make good first-page, first-column reading for quite a while yet. * * * * That Negro will bear watching who sneers about the "lack of influence" of Negro newspapers. * * * * It is natural for a well-ordered human being to praise the bridge that carries him safely over a stream. * * * * Nobody is surprised to find the holder of a lucrative office enthusiastic over the administration that keeps him fat. * * * * The masses will never be satisfied until there is genuine revision of the tariff downward and a reduction in the cost of living. * * * * Accepting an untenable situation is not leadership. A real leader must burn barriers away, and lead toward a Prominent Land. The colored millionairies of New York are waiting to see how Colonel Phil Payton "makes it" with the Pope when he strikes Rome. * * * * Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the soil of the South will yield as much cotton and corn for the black man as it will for the brother in white. * * * * The "toter" of a pistol or a razor is not a desirable citizen. Police judges will serve the public well by giving them the limit of the law when these fellows are haled before them. * * * * The closeness of the congressional fight this year will mean that the Negro will have a keener "look-in" than he has had in the recent years of mammoth majorities. "Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good." Give President Taft a chance. Being boss of the White House and running the gamut of a critical press and a mass that wants everything done differently from the way it is being done, is not "one grand, sweet song." * * * * New York's heretofore liberal theaters are drawing the color line. The segregation bug is constantly corrupting the tissues of our civil rights laws in sections that were once "God's country." What is the remedy? * * * * States which insist upon disfranchising the Negro should not be allowed representation in Congress based upon the suppressed Negro vote. Suffrage robbers must not be permitted to "eat their cake and keep it." The recent marriage of Mrs. Mamie Williams Farley, endowment secretary of the Court of Calanthe and grand secretary of the Knights and Ladies of Honor of the World, to Editor Oscar W. Adams, of the Birmingham Reporter, was one of the finest social events that has ever taken place in Alabama's thriving metropolis. We beg to extend our heartiest congratulations and wish them a long and happy life. Dr. Booker T. Washington was a notable figure at the inauguration of Dr. George Augustus Gates as president of Fisk University, March 31. The administration of Dr. Gates opens auspiciously, and the new president has the cordial sympathy and support of the heads of its principal coadjutors, such as Tuskegee, Lincoln, Howard, Wilberforce and Atlanta. The Louisville Columbian, a news sheet, edited by Dr. P. R. Peters, has a new and attractive head, designed by Dr. L. A. Morris, a rising young draughtsman of the Falls City. Dr. Peters is not only a progressive newspaper man, but is active in church and political work of a highly constructive character. He is second vice president of the National Negro Press Association. * * * The local branches of the National A TRUE STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE A. M. E. CHURCHES IN GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga., April 5, 1910. We, your committee appointed by the Ministerial Union of the A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga., to state our position in reference to certain rumors and newspaper reports in The Age, Allen Student, Afro-American Ledger and The Philadelphia Courant in reference to the condition of the internal church affairs and matters of administration in the Sixth Episcopal District, do hereby declare ourselves: We simply state facts, not theories, nor even our wishes, hopes or fears; all that we state is without either the knowledge, instigation or consent of the Bishop of the District, or, so far as we know, of any of the persons who are accused of being creators of any alleged dissatisfaction. If one were unacquainted with the true condition of our church affairs in Georgia, he would have good reason to suppose, from certain newspaper reports, that the Sixth Episcopal District was in the midst of a great internal turmoil; that many of the ministers are dissatisfied with their treatment at the hands of the Bishop; that affairs at our chief school, Morris Brown College, are in a serious and unfavorable condition, and, in short, that there is widespread dissatisfaction in the State with the policy of the administration. We deplore the spread and persistency of these rumors. There are, roughly speaking, about 1,000 African Methodist preachers in the Sixth Episcopal District, and outside of three men, who have placed themselves on record as being dissatisfied with the administration of affairs, we are unacquainted with any others who are disaffected. To be sure, there are some preachers who may be dissatisfied with their present appointments, but this is quite common to Methodism, and we are only surprised that there is not a larger number. The overwhelming mass of the ministers and the people of our church in Georgia are in sympathetic accord *** *** Negro Business League must "get busy" and stir up commercial enthusiasm in their respective balliwicks, and not wait until a week or two before the national convention to show signs of life. The national meeting is inspirational, but the real work of stimulating business effort must be done all the year around by the local branch. * * * It looks now as if King Menelik has died for the last time. There is no denying that this illustrious descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, with a strain of the Hebrew blood of Moses, was a great man in his day and generation. He gave positive evidence of the capacity of the Negro to exercise the functions of government with wisdom and power, and to make the proudest nations of Europe "sit up and take notice." The world will not soon look upon Menelik's like again. After wrestling with the alleged bribery in connection with the Percy-Vardaman senatorial contest, the Mississippi legislature is "all het up" over the Williams bill, which proposes to have the railroads furnish separate sleeping car accommodations for the blacks and whites, without running counter to the provisions of the interstate commerce law. This everlasting Negro problem is killing off our would-be white statesmen day by day. * * * * Charles Stewart, the effervescent globe-trotting correspondent and lecturer, is to go to the great religious conference at 'dinburgh. Prof. Stewart is one of the best in the business, regardless of race or color, and we are proud of him. Such a trip will be an eye-opener to this always wide-awake scribe, and when he returns he will have things to tell that no one else ever thought of before. Bon voyage, Brother Stewart. Drop in on us when you come to Washington. The white folks cannot get ahead of the black man, even after getting a big lead over him at the start. An Indianapolis Negro, Charles Southers, is said to have invented an airship that will easily carry twelve passengers, and in a pinch will support three or four others. Those amateurs, the Wright brothers, Glenn Curtiss, Paulhan and Lahm, will do well to have Mr. Southers put them next to how the thing is done. Dr. C. V. Roman, Nashville's famous specialist, who is editing the Journal of the National Medical Association, had a brilliant and scholarly editorial in a recent number of his excellent paper, entitled "An Impending Crisis." Pointing out the value of the study of ethnography, ethnogeny, ethnology and ethno-psychology for the proper understanding of man's relation to the socio-economic life about him, Dr. Roman sails in and handles without gloves the writers of two biased magazine articles which pretend to discuss the Negro problem. The first bourbon to feel the searching probe of his merciless scalpel was Judge Harris Dickson, of unenviable fame, who, in Hampton, essayed to forecast the future under the startling caption, "Exit the Black Man." The second victim was Marion Hamilton Carter, who, in McClure's, ventured to talk about the Negro as "The Vampire of the South." Dr. Roman rightly places Dickson and Carter in that class of Southern writers whose articles "seldom exhibit that careful regard for accuracy of philosophical poise that should characterize profitable ethnological study. In fact," continues Dr. Roman, "they seem to seek arguments to establish preconceived notions, rather than inquiries after the truth. Spectacular rhetoric, rather than sound conclusion, seems to be their goal." It will pay any student of race problems to follow Dr. Roman's sound reasoning in the editorial columns of the Journal of the National Medical Association, the official organ of the body of which he was the founder and first president. with the administration of the District by Bishop C. S. Smith, and peace and prosperity, as shown by substantial reports, prevails. So far as Morris Brown College is concerned, there have been over 900 students this term. Dr. Lee's administration has been a pronounced success. He is competent, qualified, and has shown marked executive ability. Reports show that there never was a larger attendance at this season of the year. The work of repairing the damage to the main building caused by fire, January 11, has been completed, in addition to which a steam heating plant has been installed. There is peace among the faculty, and discipline, as records show, was never better. We challenge and court a full and impartial investigation of the truth of our assertions, and in support thereof we will guarantee to pay the total expense of the trip, from any part of this country, of any reputable churchman who will come to this State, investigate conditions and find from one end of the State to the other three charges that are in opposition to the administration of Bishop Smith, or who have any just cause of complaint thereof.

It not only admonishes the Negro to prepare to die, but is emphatic in teaching him how to live and improve his condition in this life by self-help, thrift, industry and living up to the true principles of honesty. BLAZED A WAY WHICH OTHERS ARE FOLLOWING—NEW IDEAS Thousands of men and women have remained out of Fraternal Orders because they objected to the time-worn custom of marching under flying banners and streaming Regalia, also the practice of doing naught but looking after the sick and burying the dead. The Mosaic Templars of America adopted a simple badge (2x6 inches) as its regalia, and was the first Fraternal institution in the United States to introduce the Endowment feature. It has been adopted by all of the leading Fraternal Orders in the world. OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION IS OUR BED-ROCK OF STRENGTH— By careful and conservative business methods we place our financial condition where it cannot be shaken. Through our Endowment Department we have paid out to widows and orphans nearly a half-million dollars. All of our claims are paid to date, and we pay them as soon as they are filed in this office—there is no delaying or waiting, for we have got the money.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER KENTUCKY'S FAVORITE SON. KENTUCKY'S FAVORITE SON. CAREER. The commonwealth of Kentucky, noted for its production of beautiful women and fine horses, has also furnished her quota of great men that have brought deserved and distinction to the State of their pride. One of Kentucky's favorite sons, Dr. Van J. Davis, first saw the light in the building of little city of Henderson in the year 1874. He was fortunate in that he fell heir to the kind of parental training so essential for the development of stalwart manhood. Early in life he finished the course in the public schools of Henderson and afterward took the academic course in Walden University—then Central Tennessee College. By this time his reputation as a scholar was established, and he had made him prominent in the eyes of those who knew him, and he was offered a position as teacher in the city schools DR. VAN. J. DAVIS. DR. VAN. J. DAVIS. of Nashville, which position he accepted and led to the satisfaction of all concerned. But already the field of medicine, with its hills of ascent, streams of usefulness and plains of service, had unfurried its portals to him; hence success in no other case could daunt his inclination to walk there. So he matriculated in Meharry Medical College, and there finished his course in 1891. The one thing that characterizes Dr. Davis as a professional man, is that he detests the "make shift" or "good enough" doctrine preached by some, and believes in thorough preparation to serve well the acting. Accordingly, after completing his course, before hanging out his "single," he spent a year in study at Northwestern University, Chicago, and then served as intern in Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D.C. In the year 1900 Dr. Davis located in Paducah, Ky., beginning there the active practice of medicine, and it was then his career as a matchless Pythian worker be- Succeeding admirably in his profession and showing himself loyal to every cause he believed in, he was able to organize in 1901 Cymbaline Lodge, which at once became the friendly rival of the foremost lodges of the profession. This tireless Pythian the following year mustered in the Pride of Purchase, "Co.H;" and as the years have come and gone, unceasingly he has traveled to plant Pythian documents in the nook and corner of his State. But "Merit Wins," for with the growth of the order he, too, has grown. He has served well some of the most responsible officers in the local jail, and step he was promoted to the position of surgeon of his State. In 1909, having served one year as assistant surgeon general of his services and ability, he received his commission as surgeon general of N. A., S. A., E. etc., and finds—in this department—as Alexander, "There are no more All who know him fel proud of this honor that has become his, for no man has strayed more earnestly toward the real and simultaneously bless mankind. His real worth as a man, his scholarly attainments, his very rare professional preparation, his steadiness of purpose and sobriety, and his being eminently qualified to fill the honored place to which he has been called, to look after the physical health and sobriety of his Knights. Knowing him as he do, she sueded that he will do this, with credit to himself, honor to his native State, and satisfaction to all concerns. He means anything tangible, it means higher lives, better citizens and model homes. Dr. Davis is a strong type in these essential points, his ability, training and work place him among the very foremost of his profession. In a few years he has accumulated prestigious awards, $15,000, and has now taken unto himself one of Kentucky's fairest brides, whom he has housed in a most beautifully adorned and well appointed home. He is a man of ours, and may her beloved sons and daughters always have reason to assert that "Merit Wins." You're in F. C. & B., GEORGE F. PORTER, Ex. C. C., Cymbeline Lodge No. 18. OKLAHOMA HAS MANY NEGRO LAND OWNERS. Nine Negro Towns. Special to THE FREEMAN. Oklaahoma was admitted into the Union on the 16th of September, 1907, with a population of 1,500,000, of which 112,000 were Negro towns, six of which are incorporated and run by colored officers. Boley, the largest, has about passed Mound Bayou, Miss. Therefore it is the largest colored town in the state. It has 3,500. It has two banks, a local telephone system, and the operator is a colored girl; a colored telegraph operator and an express and ticket agent. Boley has three independent schools besides the town of importance, has the State Normal and Agricultural School, and Taft, only eleven miles from Muskogee, has the State deaf, blind and orphan school. The town of tahawks are Red Bird, Rentlesville, Tullahasse, Clearview, Gray and Wybark. Oklaahoma is quite varied in her natural resources, but oil and gas are receiving more attention at present. The oil and gas industry is growing, people as well as to the whites. Quite a few of our people own ill property, from which they are receiving handsome incomes that are developing into fortunes. Oklaahoma has 160 acres in the Glenn pool that is valued at a half million dillars. Others are receiving from $30 to $300 per month In the agricultural field Oklahoma has made a record. The State Board of Ag. It has made its report for 1909. It states that 80 percent of land in Oklahoma, of which only 10-182,614 acres or 24.5 per cent are in cultivation. This shows about one out of that cultivation. The census shows that seventy percent of the last year, with corn in the lead and cotton second. The farm products rolled up to the tune of 79,000,000. While this is an amount, in fact the largest for Oklahoma, of acres lying idle awaiting the thrifty farmer. All readers of this article who are inclined to the farm will do well to investigate the opportunity for farming Oklahoma from $15 to $20 per acre on terms. We need more colored farmers to help develop inland. Since land is the basis of wealth, we must come to Oklahoma, purchase some hectares to soil, cultivate it and become independent. Oklahoma has an excellent school system. The term of the public school system is took to nine months. Uncle Sam gave Oklahoma 100 million for a military school fund, and with the many acres of school land, Oklahoma stands at the head of the list with a permanent school fund and a good school system. In driving through Oklahoma, the Military schoolhouse and church, the main factors of progressive civilization, much in evidence. All of the religious denominations are registered in Oklahoma. We will have their their State school or they have made and are making plans for establishing the same. The Missionary Baptists are in the lead with the A. M. E. a close need of better teaching and preaching material. Especially is this true of the ministerial part. Oklahoma needs ministers who are not grafters, rogues and abuses of better teaching and preaching material to stand for the right and to preach by example as well as by precept.

Not quite content with this "knockdown" blow at the pretensions laid at the door of Dr. Washington's critic from Atlanta University, it was further said that the president of the organization that employs Dr. DuBois cares to enter into an argument with Dr. Washington, it might be another thing; but under no circumstances, remarked the "wizard's" president, was it possible in an argument with a man who is totally on a different plane from him. COLORED RAILWAY EMPLOYES WILL LOSE THOUSANDS Should Johnson Be Defeated in His Fight with Jeffries. Should Jack Johnson, the present champion heavyweight, lise his title to James J. Jeffries July 4 next, when they meet in a championship, it will mean a loss of at least $250,000 to $300,000 to the colored railway employees of the United States. This is a conservative estimate and the chances that it will be successful John loses will be still greater. There are 8,500 colored porters employed by the Pullman Company, and at a new estimate there are that 10,000 colored porters parlor cars, dining cars and as coks on the various railroads, making fully 20,000 it. It is a pretty safe prediction that practically all of the porters will bet down on the big fight, for colored porters and waiters are "natural born gamblers," and it will be a poor kind of pirate who will not back up the colored champion. Figuring on the basis that every one of these men bets from $10 to $15, it brings the total up to about $300,000, which is more than half of the total bet up into the hundreds, and the chances are that the total amount bet by the porters and waiters will be nearer half a million than $300,000. Aside from what these numbers tell us, what the colored population in general will bet (and there are many colored sports who will bet up into the thiusands), and is safe to estimate that close to $500,000 will be the ultimate way, making in all close to $1,000,000.

Look at things as they ate, and you will see that the clever unjust are in the place of runuers who run well from the starting place to the goal, but not back again from the goal; they go off at a great pace, but in the end only look foolish, slinking away with their ears down’ on their shoul- ders and without a crown; but the true runner comes to the finish and receives the prize and is crowned. ‘And this is the way with the just; he who endures to the end of every ac- tion and occasion of his entire life has a good report and carries off the prize which men bestow.—Plato. We admire the progress making in journalism by the new newspaper to espouse the -cause of the race in church, state and nation. They are, viz: The Mountain Leader of Char. leston, W. Va.; ‘The New Age, Los Angeles, Cal.; ‘The National Baptist Review ‘and The Globe, both of Nash: ville, Tenn.; The Educator of Frank- fort, Ky., and The Searchlight of Se- attle, Wash. Beloved brethren of the quill, here's wishing you health, great prosperity and a long journalistic life. Keep your pages as you have been keeping them—clean and full of good news and glad tidings for the race that is making wonderful strides in the history in the making of the mod: ‘ern civilization. _ Col. Henry Watterson of the Louis- ‘ville Courier-Journal (Dem.) insists upon taking seriously the European’ renomination of ex-President Roose- yelt, and in reply to the mayor of Rome's eulogy of the man President ‘Taft referred to in his cablegram as “President Roosevelt” he declares for the people of the United States in the following language: “To consider Theodore Roosevelt as they have never considered him before; to take him more seriously than they have ever taken him; to realize that he is altogether the most startling figure who has appeared in the world since Napoleon Bonaparte, a circumstance not without signification and por- tent.” That's just a little taste. The Colonel says lots more inferentially, predicated on the word “if” of uncer- tain quantity that we think he might as well not infer, for just now in the state of affairs nationally Americans will go a little slow about seconding Burope’s motion for our next Presi- dent. There are other positions open for Africa's Nimrod and the Rough Rider colonel. In April, 1895, Danville, Va. was stirred from center to circumference on accouut of an alleged charge of rape against Jeddie Pritchard on a daughter of a white man named Pol. lard. The accused was given a hasty and “farce” trial and was condemned to death. He was afterwards horribly butchered in the jail. The current month in Hampton, Va., a white man named E. A. Vandyke was arrested charged with criminal assault on a nine-year-old colored girl named Re- becca Tyler Chandler, who died as the result of that fiend’s treatment. He was indicted by a grand jury as charged, was given a trial at court and found guilty as charged and sen: tenced to eighteen years in the peni. tentiary. Pritchard's victim didn't die, and it was afterwards found that the Pollard girl, for whom he was killed, was his lover, and whatever was transacted between them was of mutual agreement, Not so in the Van: dyke-Chandler case—an infant as it were. Had Vandyke been black in. stead of white and his victim white instead of black you wouldn't need a prophet to tell you what would have been his fate, for none but God would know. his whereabouts. To the shades of Hades with such mockery of jus tice! Crime has no color. According to the laws of Virginia contact with a girl under twelve years is rape an¢ the penalty death. Why wasn't jus: tice done in this instance? In law what is the difference between a white fiend and a black fiend? How ever, this was a step forward for Vir. ginia even to have arrested a white man, let alone to have given a pent. tentiary sentence to one for an of: fense against a black person. God is not dead. Vandyke will get a just sentence before the eternal court aft ee REV. GILLIAM REAPPOINTED. Owing to the strong protests made to the bishop by officers and members of the church, as well as by leading merchants, lawyers, state officials and others, Bishop Cranston has reap: pointed Rev. BE. L. Gilliam as pastor of the Eleventh Street church, Colum: bus, O., for the eighth year. He had been appointed to St. Mark's, Chicago. Dr. Simmons, who had been assigned to Columbus, was sent to Flemings: burg, Ky., and the Rev. H. A. Fore: man to Chicago. THE APPOINTMENT OF GOVERN. OR HUGHES TO THE SUPREME COURT BENCH. It is safe to say that a more accept. able man has not been appointed to the Supreme Court in a good many years. Mr. Hughes is looked upon by the common people as a man who sees things through his own eyes, and decides them by his own sense of justice to all concerned. Reared and educated in a State that believes in human rights and in that State having shown his fitness and ability to administer justice un- der intricate circumstances, I feel as: sured that the cause of the Negro as a citizen in this country will be safe in his hands, While the present ad- ministration stock has been gradual- ly declining with us, I desire to say to our President (Mr. Taft) that in the selection of Governor Charles E. Hughes for the Supreme Court bench administration stock takes a rise, and it Mr. Hughes proves to be what the common people of this country be lieve him to be, the common confi dence in common justice to the com- mon people as administered in a re publican form of government will be greatly strengthened. REV. H. J. CALLIS, Pastor of Jones Tabernacle, A. M. E. Zion Church. OUR PROBLEMS. We have hard problems, it is true, but instead of despairing in the face of difficulties, we should as a race, thank God that we have a problem. As an individ. ual, I would rather belong to a race that has a great and difficult task to perform than be a part of a race whose pathway is strewn with flowers. It is only by meeting and manfully facing hard, tubborn and difficult. problems that races, like in. dividuals, are in the highest degree made strong.—Booker T. Washington. ‘These are sensible words from a sensible man and an able race leader. They are like “apples of gold in pic- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

This popular little playhouse continues to be the leading vaudeville and picture house of Norfolk, Va. The S. R. O. sign is seen merging with the vaudeville section. You are asked the same question. Have you been to the Pekin? Well, to tell the truth, this little house presents the most beautiful and the most section. Manager Moseley being an old vaudevilleian, he knows just what to get to please his patrons. This week he presents such vaudeville stars as Orr and Orr, of such other people as Maggie Harvey, the Virginia nightingale; Pearl Ray, Mable Johnson and Bat Nelson, the eccentric dancing comedian of Norfolk, the vaudeville line. This all-star bill, with moving pictures, makes it the strongest ever presented in a picture house in this city, and to say the Norfolk theater-goers such vaudeville line. This ever popular Pekin Band, under the direction of Prof. Seymour, is still playing popular airs in the lobby of the theater, to say the Norfolk theater-goers the chestra is also doing fine under the leadership of Prof. Eugene Landum. Well, as the man in white never fails to show up on time, the Pekin crowd is one happy and cheerful crowd. Mr. Moseley is also doing fine under the leadership of Prof. Mrs. Th. R. Smith. Mr. Moseley also visited Philadelphia, to see the Langford-Ketchel fight, then to New York, to see the Baltimore fight, then to Mrs. Th. R. Smith. Mr. Moseley thinks that this organization is one of the greatest of the Negro race. JACKSONVILLE, FLA., THEATRIC CAL NOTES. The show business continues to boom in Florida.

This is another one of Marion Brooks' one-act arrangements. Mr. Brooks is like a short-story writer; he brings in a lot of humor and gets all his comedy situations, songs, etc., without breaking the little plot on which the story runs. The "Two Hustlers" is a very funny sketch, and keeps the house clean. The show also includes a positive hit. They take two and three curtains at the finish. The clever monologist, Paul Carter, follows this act at the Airdome, and when Mr. Carter gets there he throws the manner in which he leaves them roaring, one would think the show was all over, but it takes up new again with the entrance and the dancing act; she holds out the bunch that the rest of the act does. The show then closes with a very funny sketch staged by Miss Hall, with Paul Carter and Lew Kenneen herself, the production company, sketch is called "The Ragtime Opera Company." Look out! "I am Jacksonville bound." Billy Earthquake is coming back to the Airdome Theater in about a week. Use your phone to contact the producing manager at the Airdome, will leave in a week or so to open some parks. His address will continue at the Airdome, where he is estate manager. His mail should be addressed to that theater, the same as in the past. WHITNEY MUSICAL COMEDY CO. SPEND SUNDAY HERE Homer Tutt Enjoys Pleasant Time with Old-Time Friends.

Tutt was in the state and gave evidence of much prosperity. That is, you could tell that the ghost had not only been walking, but also running in a very fast pace. The Indiana avenue, a thoroughfare that has become the real "Dehomey Stroll" of this city, it was lined with admirers who recognized some one of the members of the company as "being from The lay-over was especially a glorious one to Mr. Homer Tutt, as he used the very precious moments in a very valuable man. Mr. Tutt spent two hours with his boyfriend, and it was only natural that he should enjoy visiting old schoolmates, chums and "that old sweetheart of mine. The dramatic editor of mine very much missed and surprised when he took over in Weaver, one of Mr. Whitney's main supports, with a face full of smiles and a new feminine face hanging on his arm. He never saw him happy, and the others were questioned, declared they had never seen him look so gay in years. But finally it it was discovered that one of our favorite fawns had consented to become Mrs. Weaver, and not only that, but had come all the way from Texas to Indiana to prove it, and Mr. Weaver had settled everything by getting the knot tied. And they have lived happily ever afterwards. hit Jimmy over the head with Charlie Wilson's pipe therefore that broke up the band, paid $1.50 for 200 bills and sent them out by a gift, and he took them down to Bynum's shop and sold them for shaving papers for 10 cents.

KING & BAILEY BRING BILL UP TO STANDARD Save St. Paul Theater from Losing Its Reputation for Having Good Shows. ST. PAUL, Minn. April 28—King and Bailey and the "Chocolate Drops" were on the boards here at the Majestic Theater, the week of the 18th, and they were the hit of the season. They were the highlight of their act the best seen here this season. One went so far as to say that they saved the bill from being a rank one. It says: "The Majestic Theater is the best place in 'Chocolate Drops' the bill at the Majestic Theater this week would be light. The colored troupe, in its 'ragtime', is full of life, and the actors are entertaining the bill. King and Bailey are in Williams and Walker, are assisted in their singing and dancing by four colored girls. The company sings several new songs. The company opens the bill with jugling act. He coyed with the innocent genius who has made the world laugh. He didn't make the Majestic audience laugh so very much Monday afternoon. He didn't make the Garden of My Heart, and was well received. "The Brownies & Co. in a comedy entitled 'The War Is Over,' received some applause as he Harry Turkey Boyd, in a song and story, failed to make a very marked impression, and although up to this time the bill had dragged considerably, King and Bailey, last week, had caught up in applause up, bringing up the average of the bill." BERT WILLIAMS THE TALK OF NEW YORK Premier Comedian a Great Hit in Vaudeville at Hammerstein's. That Bert A. Williams is the talk of New York in theatrical circles goes without question, if you can believe the leading white dallies of the great city. The greatest critically acclaimed playwright to Use the term of words used by enthusiastic theater-goers, "He is a riot[" Mr. Williams, it seems, has sent the big stars of the real high-class vaudeville headline to the new act. They are all asking, Where did he get it and how did he get it? Everything he is using is a sensation because it is new, ogirish and full of sure-enough wit. The stories that the public has been wanting to hear for some great while, and therefore he is the rage—or the lion of the hour. Of course, the stories longer in the most famous vaudeville house in New York, and so the contract has been rewritten. The New York Variety, one of the best known theatrical publications in New York, has the following to say of the THOSE MIGHTY CUBS DEFEAT THE SPRUDELS West Baden Loses by a Bad Decision of the Umpire. WEST BADEN, Ind., April 23—The West Baden Spruels and Louisville Cubs played their first game of the season on April 22, the score ending in a tie. The interesting game from start to finish, and was practically lost by a very bad decision of Umpire Cayenne Johnson. With a runner going home, and a runner making it for second base, the team was hugged while Manager Taylor taged, hugged and picked up Griffin's cap, and excused himself, ten feet from second base. Mr. "ump" did not see what could be done, and did not see what could be done. He did the battery work for Louisville, while Taylor and Watts furnished the guessing for the Spruels. Both bateries did good work and had excellent support. The ball left down some bells that looked utterly impossible. One of the best hits of the season was made by Lewis, the big first baseman for the Spruels; the ball left the bat and never raised two feet above the center field fence, and hit about 13 inches from The Spruedels will play the Cubs in Louisville May 1. The score: Louisville 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 3 0 0 0 Baden . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 EDW H.

The battle of East Texas Academy realized that the Phillips University was really in a sure-enough way—in earnest. The result was that the game left 9 points of the law of the game and left Phillips University with a big round goose egg. CHICAGO GIANTS QUSTRIP MOBILE. Leland's Men Cleverly Defeat the Dixie Park Boys. MOBILE, Ala., April 28.—The Chicago Leland Giants and Dixie Park Mobile club played to one of the cool weather. Ladies came out in large numbers and had the day been fair, we are sure the grand-loaded. The article of baseball put up by the Glants was, in a manner speaking, very classy. Individually, each member on the club demonstrated to the lovers of the game that they are among the top-notchers of any class of men in the nation. The Glants can feel very proud of having kept and selected the team which will give any real baseball team a contest which would be worth time spent watching the great team work. Major Jackson was the team during their stop at Mobile. The Glants were at Mobile to 8 to 8. The batteries of the team of the visitors were: Norman and Taylor, pitchers; Johnson and Pettus, catchers. The Glants were at Mobile to Coach and Turner; and Thomas umpire. The Chicago Glants stopped at Mrs. M. J. Summerville's, 172 Davis avenue, during their stay in Mobile.

Perhaps no living man has more real, true, sincere friends and admirers than Hon. W. G. Critchlow, the young man who organized the I. L. U. Society, and who is now it scribal present, and who is now a graduate student that President Critchlow gave up his work with the national labor organizations and founded the great L. I. U. Society for the war that there are thousands of good men and good women in America who are trudging along life's path in an era of new technology for the nerve-who with a word of encouragement, a warm, hearty handshake and a "slap on the back" from a friend who is a friend, and that regain courage, start in a new path, brace up, make money and progress. "Many of these people," said Mr. Critchlow, "are our ability, but they need help, cheer. That is what we are doing for our fifty-seven thousand members and admirers, but they need help, cheer each other in sickness, in misfortune, in finding employment, in taking care of our widows and our children. We help each other to learn, to make money, to protect our children and to provide and better women. Everyone of our members can make a good living right in our lodge work if they choose. We help them to choose for its object the advancement and betterment and protection of all of its members. Neither politics, religion, sex, nationality nor occupation, whether high or low, rich or poor, can bar anyone from enjoying the great privileges, rights, benefits and protection." What President Critchlow and this great organizationization have done for the people who take vakes to chorele, and only the I. L. U. members can truly appreciate the great and glorious work this young man has taken upon himself. That he is doing good is proven by the enormous growth of the organization, which, as has been said before now, has nearly 50,000 members and is but eight years old. President Critchlow will gladly send free literature, describing and explaining the great work of the I. L. U. Society, to anyone who will address him in care of the Grand Lodge, 288 I. L. U. building, Dayton, O. Editorial Note—Men or women seeking employment or wishing to earn extra money in spare time, whether members or not, are invited to send their names to the ritchow, who will give all an opportunity to form a livelihood in aiding him in his work.

But those of us who are strolling this rugged path of modern methods and Americanized, and Americanized as we are, have large and small stones of fortunes and misfortunes, impeding our progress, some of them, to what we believe to be modern happiness only. To find and have more happiness, which we have so long chased, to be enjoying bitter sweets of delightful damnations, which must sooner or later explode, dealing its own more bitter sweetness of which are more bitter than death itself. We are not today as we were yesterday, and to explain our new position or to explain our present position are helpless. We have become so very much Americanically-amalgamated (excuse the expression) that some of us find our own more Americanized and shouldering responsibilities of which we a few years ago dreamed not. It is the chasing of money, the prevailing American mania, which blinds many of us to all else. Study the faces of some of the men who are hitting the grit of life, and you will see redemption of these modern times. Many of them have, after struggles, strains and suering fallen with a great roll and tumble, by desperate efforts high made, over the line and piled up their score. See if you can tell what contended happiness on any of their faces. Some of them have had hope enough to fall upon their knees and cry to High Priest, by desperate efforts high made, over the line and piled up their score. See if you can tell what contended happiness on any of their faces. Many of them have had hope enough to fall upon their knees and cry to High Priest, by desperate efforts high made, over the line and piled up their score. See if you can tell what contended happiness on any of their faces. Many of us are overreaching our fellowness on associations of sleepiness, fatigue and pain, and we are smiling and skimming and at times cheating during transactions of anxious moments when honest methods should be the watchword and confidence secured. I ask you dear friend, to look at these drawn, hardened countenances? Do you fancy that living a swift, modernized life, which the dollar ignores, even if there any room to time and sympathy, the gift of the enjoyment of the world that keeps us to make up real happiness. But to gain their exclusiveness there has been a wreck left somewhere. Hearts have been wring, wives and daughters of many homes have been the scene of desperate struggles; many a woman in the sub mission, submission, smiles and insults, sacrifice, convenience and comfort, all to gain for a silly daughter, a dangerous husband or idle son. "I fondly dream of what is not, and Wake to weep over our sad lot." REPRESENTATIVE EUBANKS AND HIS ACHIEVEMENTS. Starlight Talks of Politics in Ohio. While here several days ago, Mr. A. D. Boyd, a well-known politician of Cleveland, O. discussed the doings in politics of St. Louis. St. Louis is a way. He told of the bill introduced in the Legislature by the Hon. H. T. Eubanks, the Negro member from Cuyahoga County. He county in Ohio to do his duty in case of mob violence or be immediately discharged from office, and now he is passing by and passed by unanimous vote, the bill having passed the House, requiring only the signature of the Governor to become a law. The governor, me is the stand that Charley Ots, president of the Cuyahoga Telephone Company, would muster up the courage to make a fight on the governor, and editors he finds space to criticize Mr. M. E. H. HON. H. T. EUBANKS. Eubanks because he voted in favor of the Elson bill. It is amusing to note that Otis and the J. P. Morgan interests would knock the Elson bill and ridicule Eubanks for voting for it. But Eubanks is for the people, and it is for the people. Otis represents the trust combine and is, therefore, fighting against the people's interests. This man Otis is spending a great deal of money in order to defeat the state of money which to every citizen of the State of Ohio. "We should never fail to support a man who is the author of the anti-lynching bill. This man, it can be shown, has not only been a strong supporter of the State also. Look up his bills creating a service fund for the board of education of Cleveland and that one in the interest of the county commissioners and their right to be involved in those steps he has not only shown you that he is a great Negro legislator but truly an American, and that means one of people and the people. He has touched the spotlight on the militant bill by making it incumbent upon sheriffs to protect their prisoners at the peril of their positions. He has stood by his principles and has succeeded in to its principles. You have never heard of him being connected with anything shady, and he commands the respect of every citizen in the Buckeye State. I am a strong supporter of the Hon. H. T. Eubanks to the Ohio Legislature for a third term." THE JACK JOHNSON SOUVENIR BUTTON. Wm. Foster Music Co., 3025 State St. Chicago III.

Colored Clubs Main Factor Upon Which Dispute Between City League and Park Owners Will Be Settled. iy Tie eae Weather permitting, the semi-pro. base- ball lid Will be thrown off for a genuine opening Sunday. By this time all clubs who are registered with the City League, Intercity and Park Owners’ Association will have thelr plans all perfected and. the 1910 season will be on in Tull bloom. Sun- day, April 24, had been announced as the opening, but considering the fact that two if our leading colored clubs are still tour- ing In the Southland, we cannot consider the opening complete: ‘The Ilinots Giants, who are members of the Intercity and Park Owners’ Associa- tion, will pull off an ante-schedule con- test’ with “Jiggs” Donohue's Red Sox ‘in the City League, while the Chicago Union Giants will tecupy the Logan Square Park with 4 sette with the Ations. “Upon this date Leland’s Chicago Giants will be ex- hibiting their skill before the natives of Memphis. ‘The whereabouts of “tube” Foster are at this time unknown, but, he is probably safely anchored somewhere be- tween Oklahoma and ‘Texas. A.W. Meallister, working in the inter- est of the Park Owners’ Associatiin, has landed here with a Cuban. team, which will be used ax counter attraction to what- ever will be used by the City League in the Cuban line of ball tossers, “This lat- ter Cuban team’ opened up at Gunthar’s Park Saturday and Sunday with Mendez and Figgarolo carded as the battery. Quite a number of the parks have ‘already Started the Sunday morning contests, so it is probable that the Cubans will get all they Want in the way of games, ‘The destinies of the semi-pri. game here depends altogether upon the attitude of the big colored clubs in the country. ‘The City League claims to have an agreement with ‘the Philadelphia Giants, Brooklyn Royal Giants and. Nebraska ‘Indians to play upon their circuit exclusively, while the Park Owners are making thé Same Reports from the Bast bring the infor- mation that the big clubs diwn that way have put the ban on “tube” Poster and his band of ball tossers. Tuube snatched all the best talent from the eastern clubs in order to il up die gaps left vacant fn the Leland Giants by, the advent of the now famous Chicago Giants, ‘The successful raiding of clubs in the Bast by the Westerners has left the big colored elubs down there in such a weak- ened conditiin that it fs feared that they Will prove easy game for the clubs they will encounter out this way. ‘This. state of affairs ix the proper thing to help Ne- gro baseball. ‘The search of the Eastern- ers, as well as numerous Western clubs, for playing material will give employment to dozens of players heretofire unknown to the profession. ‘there is a demand throughout all sec- tions of the country for good players and the magnates are offering gold sainties. ‘This alone speaks volumes In favor of the success of the Negro in the game. Tt is learned upon good authority that Sunday baseball will be tolerated in the East this season. In view of this fact a halt a dozen new parks have sprung up, some suppirting colored clubs. Louts Mann, “who went down in the crash through a tit with the National Associa- tion of Colored Ciubs some years ago, has renewed the lease on his plant and has put $400 in improvements upin the grounds, which he expects to be the home of some great colored aggregation, “Big” Smith, known wherever baseball 1s. played, landed in Chicago on a scouting trip. for material, After looking over the griund in “Chi.” he left for Memphis to see the Chicago Giants’ new club whence he ex- pects to land whatever surplus material is available. ‘The baseball talent has been distributed in such @ way that It looks as if the fight for the colored championship will. be. a hotly cintested affair, All clubs, with the exception of the Lelands and Chicago Giants are’ about evenly matched, The above named clubs, of course, have the call for first honors because of the fact that they have a monopoly on. all the choice talent if the country. ‘The above fact should bring out an elimination series of games amongst the small fry in order to get a suitable club to tackle the big fellows.” ‘The Illinois Giants will be_ in the field with a team which will surprise the confident ones.

FIRST BASEMAN NEEDED. By EMMerr BowMAN of Royal Giants, New York City. At present in colored baseball circles the aristocracy of the professional dia- mond, there is a great demand for first basemen. Every Year sees a modifica tion of ‘the strength among the players by which those in a particular depart ment seem to lose their effectiveness, Some seasons the catchers show the wear and tear of the game, other seasons in- fielders and outfielders ; but today there is room on the first corner of the infield for a new quota of: faces in our profes- sion. Probably it will not be very long before young players will be tying to master ‘the art of playing the first sack instead of other positions on a team, as many first basemen are fast fading aawy. A first baseman of today must be a quick thinker, strong thrower, and, moreover, possess’ plenty of nerve, is iy" opinion, as such stars as Ray Wilson, Mike Moore, Chappie “Johnson, Harry” Siaith. Jordad Will soon have to give way to Father Time, Since 1 have taken up first base playing Iam as. pleased with the posi Uh as when I broke into baseball as a pitcher. Another beauty about it ail. is, a first’ baseman will as a rule outlast & pitcher in years of service, HOOSIER POET HAS GREAT ATHLETIC RECORD. Was a Foot Racer Who Could Do a Hundred Yards in 10 Seconds. Perhaps it will be Interesting to the readers of this column to know that some yeaeh Sm0 Our colured Haosler poet. Aaron: ee ee Was a foot racer of marvelous ability, be- ing able to do’ the Hundred-yard dash in 10 ‘seconds, the quar- ter-mile in'4 1-2 sec- onds' and the halt- mile in 1:34." Being master of these rec- ords, which are close to the world’s best athletes, made him a formidable opponent and an easy winner In most every contest in which he competed, Bince his retirement some of his particular friends, knowing his keen foresignt In athletle games and. his present abiuty as a poet, have requested him to write & poem on the coming John- son-Jeffries fight. Mr. Thompson respond- ed with the tollowing poem entitled, "On the Fourth of July"! ‘The world is excited o'er the great coming “ight “Twixt Jack, the black champion, and Jef- fries,’ the white ; ‘To pick out tue winner ‘tis puzzling to try, We'll know ail about it on’ tne Fourth of July. For Jonson and Jeffries are both power- ‘ul men, At their very’ best feats in battles ne'er ‘been ; And I believe that the sports are predict- ing it right That the coming event will be a great ight. To pick out the winner ‘tis puzzling to try, We'll know all about it on the Fourth of July. Old Glory shall float with her colors un- furled To welcome the sports trom all over the world— Lords, squires and great nobles, the rich millionaire, And cowboys and miners, they all will be there, To pick out'the winner ‘tis puzzling to try. We'll know all about it on the Fourth of July. Perhaps it may be in the very first round That One of the men In “defeat will go lown ; ‘The Mgt’ may be stopped by men of the law ; It may go’ the Limit and then be a draw. To pick out the winner ‘tis puzzling to try, We'll know all about it on the Fourth of July. "Tis stated by Jeff, and thousands have hopes, That he'll knock the black champion over the ropes. In this mad, desperate rush Jeff may strike @ rut And be floored for the count by a stift ‘uppercut. To pick out the winner ‘tis puzzling to try, Weill know all about It on’ the Fourth of duly. Then Johnson may play too long with his man, By a ¢hatice blow, from Jeff be sent to “dreamland.” ‘Then Jeffries’ long absence from out the prize ring May prove to te world he's not the “real thing.” ‘To pick out the winner 'tis puzzling to try, We'll know all about it on the Fourth of July. Now, who is the man that will land on his back? Te may be white Jim, and it may be black jack. Three ‘cheers to the winner, no matter whieh man, . For each is an heir to America’s land. ‘To pick out the winner ‘tis puzzling to try, Weill know all about it on the Fourth of uly. ‘There'll be ‘cheering and tossing of hats in the ait, And shouts of great joy and groans of despair, High praise to the -winner o'er the wide ‘world shall fly, We'll know all about it on the Fourth of July. To vou, jolly sports, is a word T must say, Your money's not’ safe should yiu bet either way ; For thousands on thousands could either man make Should he sell-out his chances and tose through a fake. To pick out the winner ‘tis puzzling to try. We'll know all abjut it on the Fourth of July. I say, in conclusion, let the battle be pair, And jet everything be done on the square, With fair play alike to the champion men, And the best of the two, I say, let him win: To pick out the winner “tis puzzling to try: Welll know all about it on’ the Fourth of ply. ¢ HARTMAN DISTILLING C0, Or WAU TMA DIO EILEEN UUr Established 1857. 210 Upper Third 8t., Evansville, Ind.

We said by any distiller on price and quality. We are registered distillers and know the whiskey business from start to finish, and know that once you try these goods you will want no other. Notice the announcements of other distillers and may order whiskey and see if they offer Straight Kentucky Whiskey, see if they guarantee or even state that their whiskey is no blend, no compound or mixture. While you probably know straight whiskey well yet you want to state that straight whiskey means exactly what the word implies—straight—not blended with cheap wines, etc., to reduce price per quart—not compounded with adulterated mixtures, but every drop straight whiskey and nothing but whiskey! We have noticed this blended, adulterated stuff sold under the names of whiskey, you will dislike and believe it a good business step on our part to make an offer that even the dealers in adulterated trash cannot equal, in order to quickly induce our Kentucky purchases and see the difference. $1,000 OFFER We offer $1,000 to anyone who can prove through any test, whatever, that this whiskey is not according to above conditions and your address to the firm, or to the manager, and they will receive immediate attention.
