Roberts is a success, and we point him out to the young men of Evansville and say: "Git' Jim's Gran and Grit, and Git' there." HENRY BELL Men are rated by what they do. One who accomplishes great things is considered great, for it is true that the success of a person is determined by personal qualities. Mr. Bell is a man who has achieved great success in the field of business. Within nine years he has owned a company and has considered the wealthiest colored man in Evansville. He owns and operates 15 double teams for heavy hauling, working in the coal mines. He owns 11 good house sand lots in the city and a large 4-story brick business building in Water Street. Few men have done so well in the past. He was raised chiefly on the farm. He came to Indiana when quite a small boy, and A. B. after a few years the family tried a home or two in Illinois, farming there also. He then settled in Evansville, the humber business of his father, and he began hauling lumber from the river up the steep river bank, which was then almost impossible. But he would not abandon his business, and refused to take such contracts to haul, but he did so well that he attracted the attention of many, wealthy firms, who were glad to give him very large contracts, and he was able to get three largest coal mines in this township. He for five years has hauled all the coal for the city schools. Mr. Bell shows the lack of investment in the lack. He loves and supports his mother and some of his other relatives. In one of his buildings he runs a hotel and other shops. He has always been a man of few shoes, but he stands by those few to the letter.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL The Twelfth Annual Meeting of Doctors Was Great Success. Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON D. C., Aug. 31.—Has the Hon. D. Vernon resigned as Register of the Treasury, the current rumor, which is said to have found its inspiration in a statement by Bishop Abram Grant, has it that Dr. Vernon will resume the active duties of president of the University at Lafayette, Kas, at the beginning of the regular school term. Bishop Grant is president of the board of trustees of Western University and is known as the confidential friend of Dr. Vernon. There are those who placed considerable influence on the statements attributed to the eminent churchman. Over against this apparent settlement of the matter is a card appearing in the Chicago Journal that purports to be the signature of Dr. Vernon, positively denying that he has resigned and asserting further that he never was so firmly fixed in the Treasury Department as he did. Up to this time the Freeman's correspondent has had nothing to say on the subject, preferring that the register should touch a matter that is to play such an important part in his future. If Dr. Vernon thinks he can best serve his people at a time when the position that has unlimited possibilities for development, his friends here say, "Suffer it to be, Godspeed!" If he elects to take the position, he will usually allot two terms to a faithful public servant, and desires to remain as Register of the Treasury, he will continue to enjoy the support and good will of the people. He has inspired his advent something over four years ago. There are strong arguments upon both sides of the proposition, and he has decided to make up his mind as to which horn of the dilemma he will take—if "dilemma" it can be called. If it appears important, he will rest assured that his influence will be felt for the betterment of all humanity. The doctors have come and gone. Their twelfth annual meeting was a brilliant success, and in their train they have left an inspiration that will inure to the benefit of the medical profession and to more earnest training along scientific lines. The election of Dr. A. M. Curtis as president was in keeping with the situation. He was more than the candidate of the profession of a faction. He is in every sense a national figure in the medico-surgical arena, and it behooved the National Medical Association to increase the organization real prestige among the profession throughout the world. Dr. Curtis needs no introduction to an American audience. From his early start in Chicago as the first colored physician on the consultancy team of the University of Chicago one of the founders of the famous Provident Hospital to the culmination of his career as surgeon-in-chief of the Freedman's Hospital in Washington, he kept in the center of the medical profession. He has been even more brilliant since his retirement from that institution, as he has been free to travel. He has been frequently called to all portions of the South to attend lectures on surgical topics and to deliver lectures on surgical topics at the country's most noted schools of medicine. No member of the profession before him was more popular than Dr. Curtis. Hence, when it became known that his name might be used in connection with the presidency of the N. M. A. his election was a foregone conclusion, and he undivided support of the organization and too much to say that the year 1910-11 will be the banner period of the N. M. A. The Negro is making steady progress in the departments in this city. A few days ago Mr. Joseph Stanton, a well-equipped young man from Pittsburg, Pa., was appointed to a responsible clerkship in the Department, and he was appointed to the Department, the first to be named for a berth in this office, where technical qualifications of the highest character are required. Mr. Theodore Bethel, another promoted to custard and energy, was appointed to a college Bureau of Construction and Repair, Navy Department, where Negro clerks are said to be as scarce as the proverbial "hen's teeth." A third professor, Dr. John Dearborn, fordor for the Navy Department, who has just secured, after much effort, the promotion of Mr. Frank DeMand from a classified laborer at $650 per annum to a first-grade clerkship at $300. In the Treasury Department, Mr. George G. Brown, given a substantial advancement, The young colored man in the civil service in Washington is "making good," and if given a chance will rise with the best of them. Dr. Sumner A. Furrill, a leading physician of Indianapolis, Ind., and head of the well-equipped Lincoln Hospital in that city, was among those who took a prominent role in Dr. Furrill's work. Wearing the National Medical Association. Dr. Furrill made an excellent impression upon all with whom he came in contact, and his opinions upon the papers read during the convention, and the special attention and won hearty approval. Dr. Furrill is in his eighth year as a member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League, and is relied upon by the executive committee of one of the most valuable men in that body. At the New York meeting Dr. Furrill acted as the "wizard's" right-hand man and he sustained the part with credit and distinction. Dr. Furrill was the widow of the lifelong life members for the league. Dr. Furrill is a leader in the political, business and social life of his home city and is invariably looked to for the "cue" that sets the pace for all public activities. Dr. Furrill, Lillian Morris of the Louisville schools are always welcome visitors at the nation's capital. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler announces that there is no truth in the report that he is a candidate for the editorship-of the Odd Fellows' Journal. A formidable movement has been inaugurated by Mr. James C. Waters, Jr., president of the Council of Upper Classmen of the University, who offers the better treatment for the Negro at the newspapers which advertise the alleged crimes and misdemeanors of Negroes in glaring headlines and confine reports on his actions. Mr. Waters also offers the best treatment if any mention is made of them at all. Mr. Waters has issued a circular letter and sent it broadcast throughout the country, sounding out the author's views in vigorous language to papers in the Negro Herald, Washington Times, New York Times and the Baltimore American, which he says have habit of adorning their first page with the same matter was taken up last week by the National Association in New York, and there-is no doubt that concerted action on the subject all along the line will grow out of Mr. Waters's timely agitation. R. D. Webster Davis of Richmond, Va., will be chosen as pastor of the Vermont Avenue Church of the Negro to succeed the late Rev. George W. Lee, who died several months ago. Dr. Davis is to preach his trial sermon on the third Sunday in September. An immense crowd will be out to hear him. There is general satisfaction among the representatives of the college people of Washington D.C. that Draft consented to serve as a member of the board of trustees of Howard University, although it is known to be a fact that these responsibilities as many of these responsibilities in amicable fashion. The Chief Executive thus gives tangible evidence of his deep interest in the higher education of the Negro youth. While urging, with all his might, value of the industrial training for the masses of the Negro people, he should be a sufficient number of institutions whose mission it is to develop competent leadership, without which no people can permanently advance. The problem of the location of the Colored Normal School will be taken up in the fall. It is pretty definitely settled that the Balloch site will not be chosen. Mr. Isaac Hathaway, the talented Kentucky sculptor, has his studio at 1234 U street newly decorated and furnished in honor of the coming of the National Medical Association, and he entertained a dream of a theater day during the session. The visitors were struck with astonishment at the beauty and skill which his work disclosed, and many orders were given him for busts, statues and paintings. The busts of Frederick Douglass, Booker Washington, Bishop Allen and Paul Laurence Dunbar attracted universal admiration, and the death mask of Joe Gans, taken reverence, Baltimore, was viewed with amazement, with the last work Hathaway had presented to Dr. Washington an unique plaster cast of the foot of his little grandson, W. Sldney Pittman, Jr. Mr. Hathaway is wedded to his art and is to be accorded something near the recognition financially that his merita deserve. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard University, spent two days in the city last week, looking after important interests for the institution. Bills for the new building for the university will be presented and bids will soon be received, as well as for the new steam heating and lighting plant for the university and Freedman's Hospital, which has been accepted by the Interior Department. Dr. Thirkield came primarily to attend the funeral of Prof. Charles C. Cook, who was drowned a few days ago at Sea Isle City, Maine, in various States before returning to his summer home at Marshfield Center. Mass. to finish his vacation. Dr. Thirkield says the coming school year will be the best Howard University has ever experienced. The gathering of so many distinguished men and women of the race on the campus of Howard University in connection with the graduation of the student was a big advertisement for the Negro's greatest school for higher training. Lincoln Md., where the sturdy pioneer, Thomas J. Caliway, is building a town, is growing to be a fashionable Sunday resort for prospective home-buyers. We shall have something to say of this interesting place in our next. Grand Master W. L. Houston of the C. U. O. of F. has been spending some time in the city with his family. Mr. Houston is confident with his family. Mr. Houston will be at Baltimore will be the greatest in the history of the order and that the roster will show not less than a half-million membership. Building has been resumed on the $100,000 home of the Y. M. C. A. Plans are being worked out by which the city is to take over the alleys, courts and minor streets, such as have become plague spots and do away with the "slium" territory that will be created by the next session of Congress looking to the condemnation of unsanitary buildings, and it is especially desired to abolish that notorious known as "Willow Tree Aley." Light is coming at last on this very dark subject. A. Washington Press Association is to be organized here as an auxiliary to the National Negro Press Association. The District of Columbia will present the name of Henry P. Washington for editor of the Old Fellows' Journal, and Attorney W. C. Martin for grand secretary. For grand master J. C. Asbury, E. H. Morris and E. P. Jones will have strong friends. The race will be a pretty one all around. Mrs. Mary E. Washington of New Albany, M. F. Jones, vice president of Mr. and Mrs. W. Thompson, M. Washington will attend the B. M. C. at Baltimore as a delegate to the House at Ruth and will also attend the meeting of the local Wilberforceans, Va. Mrs. Washington is a grand officer of the latter body. Prof. William A. Joiner of Howard University shortly to assume the duties of principal of the Normal Department to succeed the M. F. Jones, the local Wilberforceans, is to go to Wilberforce University shortly to assume the duties of principal of the Normal Department to succeed the M. F. Jones, the race's pioneer architect, is to go also as instructor in architecture, mechanical drawing, civil engineering and kindred branches, hands-on safety and quality for each of the gentlemen and Wilberforceans is to be congratulated upon having been able to command the services of such capable and conscientious workers. Miss Josephine Marticha Lawson, daughter of Prof. Jesse Lawson, of this city, was recently married in Oxford, England to Prof. William Antigua, of Antigua, B.W. I. Mr Harley is finishing a post-graduate course in theology at England's time-honored institution of learning and will probably locate at Jamaica, in the British West Indies. "Nothing doing" in politics so far for the colored brother. Chairman W. B. McKinley of the congressional campaign committee is backing the onboard of the brother in the campaign, but up to date no word has been given to the colored brother as to whether his services will be desired or required. The Dancys, Pinchbacks, Johnson, ed. al. are awaiting the signal to "get rest." Mr. Charles W. Fillmore of this city, formerly a major in the Spanish army and formerly in financing on a large scale, has been appointed associate editor of The Banker and Investor Magazine, conducted by prominent New York capitalist, James H. McKinley. Mr Fillmore has some surprises in store for the Negro bankers of the country, and it will be sprung at an early date. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is preparing to announce a definite plan of action with reference to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the first systematic organizer to be affected by the event of the country will have an opportunity to take part in the work.

To the Members of the Independent Political League. Ladies and Gentlemen:—We have assembled in convention today to retrospect our political successes and failures, our political failures and failures in order to avoid political blunders in the future; to consider our present political condition and to plan for the betterment of our race in the future. Politically we have fallen upon evil times; while some of us are somewhat cast down we are not in despair. I believe we have been given the devise a plan by which we may retrieve our losses and finally reach the coveted goal. I am of the opinion that it was lack of image on our part that caused us some years ago to change from an aggressive policy to a passive one. It was a surrender of principle to expediency on the presumption that things political were better. A greater an idea contrary to experience and facts of history. We seemed to have forgotten that eternity of power. Our surrender gave us a set-back from which it will require years to recover. Indeed, for more than a quarter of a century things have gone from bad to worse. Our political status is not as good as it was in 1875. We have reached low water mark in our power to resist the encroachments of our enemies at the beginning of their onslaughts on our political and civil rights. We were deceived and deluded by those who affirmed that the white people of the country were friends; blind to the things going on around us detrimental to our best interests. DISFRANCHISEMENT. Disfranchisement laws were enacted which in theory affected white men and women, but the political operation affected black men only; this was the intention of the framers of these unjust laws. The white men struck at the very foundation of our political citadel—political equality—which spells real citizenship, we made but feeble resistance against We are told by our misguided friends that it was a good thing for the race, and that such enactment could prove a miracle. We were mired seeing that we were dull of apprehension, unable to appreciate the boon conferred upon us by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Federal Constitution, emboldened and proceeded a step further. SEPARATE CAR LAWS Not satisfied with practically decitizenizing us, the South, which we had been told was our best friend, in order to put a brand of inferiority upon our people, we had lowest depths of humiliation, proceeded to enact Jim Crow car laws. To these iniquitous laws we made a demand for law enforcement, knowing that we were stripped of our rights and exposed to shame and ridicule before the whole world, our misguided friends informed us that the law would not not to oppose such legislation, which was made for our special benefit. Many of our editors and leaders were wrong, and we ought not to oppose such legislation, which discriminated against us, especially our wives and daughters. We were told that our agitation was doing more harm than good, and caused it. Our advisers had forgotten the fact that with oppressed people agitation had been the watchword of the century, and that the agency in business about great reforms. It was agitation on the part of Luther and his associates that brought about the reformation of the Christian Church. It was agitation on the part of King John of barons of England against King John that forced him to grant to the people of England the Magna Charter. It was agitation on the part of the abolitionists that aided in the abolition of slavery, which resulted in our emancipation. But in the face of these facts of history we were howled down, assured that if we should cease our agitation that we would be enslaved in our agitation, and instead of things growing better they grew steadily worse. DERELECTIONS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Republican party, our erstwhile friend, seeing that it was popular to take a film at the convention, Negro had been its most faithful ally, proceeded to give him an additional blow by eliminating him from the councils of the Republican party; it started at the county conventions, and at the convention, and finally the Negro was eliminated from the National Committee, on which he had served since 1868. This is elimination with a vengeance. Lincoln, Grant, Sumner and Stephens, what a departure on the part of the Republican party from its original principles. At this juncture the Hon. William Howard, upon the scene of the scene, he was called as a second Lincoln, a real friend of the race, and as the best evidence of this fact it was asserted that he came from old abolitionist stock. Of course that was supposed to be a sufficient guarantee of the genuineness of his relationship. Many of us did not see it in that light, and we so expressed ourselves; we were not deceived with his broad smiles and beautiful platitudes concerning the prog- No President since emancipation has made such a wholesale removal of Taft, the governor of Missouri, Taft, withstanding his late appointments of Messrs.

They realize differences and a stronger Democracy that they are in a peculiarly strategic position at this time. In West Virginia an American Democrat will appeal for their votes. In Indiana the Socialists are preparing to make every inducement in the way of platform promise and ballot recognition. In Iowa the Republican hand the Republican party in these States seems apathetic, indifferent and powerless to stop the onslaught of the national vote. What is the status of the black man. What has the Republican can party done to stop lynching? Just the other day in Texas over twenty Negroes were shot down like mad dogs. How can the beaten-up to put an end to this nefarious business. The National Independent League is a body of Negroes, who love their race and want to be put to any party with any party by doing so they can permanently advocate the political interest of the race. As to myself I would vote for the devil, because I thought it would be better to come when the truckless sycophants and time-servers should stand aside and let men who are prepared and willing to do the work without having their motives impugned. There are colored men who talk and act as if the Republican party was a white men. And if we dare to do so we are denounced by the sycophants and short-sighted, as traitors to the best interests of the country, by the false leaders, dangerous radicals. And we are thus abused in the face of the fact that the Republican party has acquiesced in the disfranchisement of their black ally, and is thus outed by the Republican party to aid the Negroes to regain the franchise in the States where they have been raised. Pray tell me what Republican President I pray tell me that attorney general to lessen the disfranchisement of the South? On the other hand when we have taken the courts and the laws, ways been turned down some technicality of the law. Even a Republican Supreme Courts has always found a way to evade handing down a decision in our favor. And the Federal Constitution say that the right to vote shall not be denied citizens of the United States on account of their creed or previous condition of servitude. To my way of thinking the Republican party by its acquiescence in the matter is a party to the high-handed robbery of the party to the high-handed robbery of the thing is true in regard to the Jim Crow car law, the Republican party through its Congressional representatives has stood by and seen the race humiliated, shamefully discriminated against, and inflicted a court to which by an infamous decision declared that Jim Crow car law constitutional, and still we are not to criticize the party guilty of such peridity, and to have been black record of the Democratic party, and while to vote with it was a bitter pill to swallow, yet we shut our eyes and swallowed it in order to punish the party which had abandoned us after we had done so, and which had no years. We can assure you that if there had been any other party in existence with anything like corresponding strength with the Republican party, standing for the rights of all men before the law, we would have When we vote with the Democrats it is because we can do no better. Our prayer is that if the Republican and the Democrat win the South, we must Negro policies that a new party standing for human rights, for the equality of rights, civil, political and social, may be organized with which we may co-operate. We must support the Republican party if it will champion our cause as in days of yore. If not, we must turn to some other party that will support our cause. Everywhere the Negroes win the South, the Hitchcock is the mentor and master and crux of their unhappy situation. They fell that President Taft either artificially defeated the Republican or political advisers, is making the Republican party in the South a Lilly White party. THE REMEDY Since there will always be Negro Republicans and Democrats, and what not, we should first have respect for each other. We must recognize the fact that while all races we are united on the objects to be enacted on our civil and political rights we are irreconcilably divided as to methods of obtainments of the same. It is well to recognize that there are amongst us aggressive and conservative The aggressive forces stand for an un- limited number of people, the complete mankind's rights, of our race. The conservatives stand for a policy passive in its nature. They believe that we must resist us politically and that are now out of joint will right themselves. Their policy is one of expediency and not of prudence. They believe that human rights to material advantage, forgetting that nations and people have sacrificed money, ease, pleasure and life it requires, and civil and political rights. As a race we need to get back to basic principles and fight it out on that line, no matter what sufferings and inconveniences it may entail. INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ORGANIZATION. One of the greatest needs of the race is to be involved in the organization, ably officed, well financed, with branch organizations in every part of the country, and if we are to win in the struggle we must have such an organization. No pains should be spared, no expense regarded, in our effort to effect a formidable national organization. Our political organization is the most important of this line. We have been successful in organizing other needed agencies, such as the church, the school, benevolent organizations, etc., and why may we not succeed in organizing efforts to have great national political influence. In a statement published the other day by John Mitchell, of the American Federation of Labor, he affirmed that there were three million members of the Fed. The organization is expected to have twenty millions within a few years. The Federation is a demonstration of what can be done by persistent effort; since we have succeeded in organizing the Fed, we are confident why may we not succeed in organizing a strong political league. It is the aim and hope of our league, which is neither circumscribed by religious, social or political boundaries, nor therein, to enroll at least twenty thousand members are the campaign of 1912. We send out the Macedonian cry to help everyone to come over and help us. PETITIONS. Commencing from this meeting we ought to circulate petitions throughout the length and breadth of our country requesting aid both in the princeps and by the league. Together their names, thus pledging to the organization their co-operation in our struggle for their civil and political rights. Further, men who come to the point to be willing to vote as a unit for men and measures which concern our civil, social and political bettermement, should only support candidates who are willing to pledge themselves to help in the amelioration of our condition. CENTRAL COMMITTEE. I recommend that a campaign or a central committee be formed by the central of the League, said committee to be composed of twelve or fifteen men who are thoroughly conversant with political matters and who cannot be calcd or bribed to the League, said committee shall be to select in different sections of the country proper Congressional candidates to be voted for by our League. The League should be made monies to be used by the League in conducting its campaign. Our League ought to take more interest in politics in the future than in the past. Since we have played the game of politics so disastrously to our best interests, we have to our blunders and at once begin by united and thoughtful effort to play the game advantageously, and that this work may be done the more effectively. I think you need to be aware of the organization, one who can stand in the forefront of the battle and devote all of his time and talent to the cause. I think you need to be aware of the press about Liberia, its area, people and natural resources, that I deem it unnecessary to consume your time in speaking in such phrases of the subject, but at a time of trouble troubles of the little Black Republic. THE LATE TROUBLE Owing to the encroachments of France and England upon the territory of Liberia, which threatened its gradual and final abolition, the government large slice of territory, and the financial embarrassment caused by a loan from an English syndicate, which the govemment fell due, and this owing to a decrease in the revenue of the country, caused by the fall off in the price of coffee and the decrease in the revenue of police the Frontier, etc. These troubles paralyzed business and caused universal discouragement. In the hour of this crisis was upon the government of the United States to intervene and give financial assistance. That Liberia is in pressing need of a reorganization of its finances, says the Chicago Record Herald. It is apprehensive that the government has been pressing for some readjustment of the situation regarding the loan, now amounting to about $455,000, including interest, which was incurred first in 1995 and then in 1998, since been readjusted. It is a further custom loan of $480,000, and n internal debt amounting to about $300,000. For a population of 2,000,000, these would not seem to make a formidable total burden. But in recent years to has great natural resources, if only these can be developed properly. How to bring about the development is a problem that is more perplexing to the statesmen who have to do with it, and how to care for the existing indebtedness. The Cornhill Magazine, of June, 1910; speaking of the partition of Liberia among the Powers, says: "The territories among the Powers and governed as a protectorate in the ordinary manner, unless, indeed, the United States themselves were disposed to take over the whole. It is impossible to take over the whole. We meet with serious opposition by England, France or Germany, although it might not be exactly greeted with enthusiasm. Provided that freedom of commerce were guaranteed up and down, monopoly created in Kru, labor. "Many people outside of official circles would cordially welcome the advent of the United States as an Africa power. In the absence of any such professed desire on the part of the United States, the inheritors of the territory would be France and England, whose possessions run parallel with it. "France would extend her ivory coast, and western Soudan possesses an important portion of the settlement, and England might be disposed. The authorities of Sierra Leone would favor the course to a further portion. Both powers, however, England especially, would be wise in making it possible for Germany to participate in the war. If she would give her the chance, if it proves attractive in her eyes, to found in this section of western Africa another such small protectorate as Toga, which she governed so admirably and the prosperity of whose countries she has so materially increased." In 1908 a deputation was sent from Liberia to the United States to appeal to the government at Washington for help, and to the United States government. After due consideration, in 1910 the government at Washington decided to aid the Black Republic through a $1,500,000 loan from the United States to bankers, through the good offices of Secretary of State Knox, so as to put Liberia on a sound financial basis, has seemed impossible of attainment. President Taft, soon after his inauguration, sent a communication to the petition of Liberians for a treaty, under which the United States, through a protectorate, might act the part of the big brother to the struggling republic. Neither the United States nor the United States obliged to country, and cannot be the troubling Negro Republic gobbled up by Great Britain, France or some other European power. With a stable government and good public schools the future of Liberia is assured. It has been thought by some friends of Liberia that a government could be started in the United States that might prove beneficial to the Liberians, and be fostered in Liberia by Brotherhood be fostered at this session of the council. It shall have for its object the encouragement of all affairs that concern the development of Africa. I mus thethetly recommend the idea to your consideration. WILLING TO RESIGN. As a Bishop with multitudinous duties and an ability to do what I am prepared to give to the organization the service that should be required of its chief officer. I can never again take an active part in politics, as I took in 1908. I am prepared to give to the organization the campaign demanded heroic and daring action; I throw myself into the breach and have not regretted my action, and the treatment accorded the black man in the United States more than justified the position we took. My greatest regret is that enough black men did not bolt the Republican nominee and are suffering today at the hands of the administration because the Republican leaders were persuaded to believe that they could win by not being told matter how faithless it might prove to its pledges. Indeed, the Negro leaders succeeded in making the managers of the Republican party believe that the American and any knowing who wailbwicks, hence the Grand Old Party had nothing to do with theook the Negro leaders at their word and knowing that they had nothing to fear from the black weakling within their own ranks, the party turned its lips to the Negro and implemented policy towards the Negro ever inaugurated by a Republican administration. The Negro Republican leaders are reading what they sowed. It is high time that we all united and teach the party a much-needed lesson by helping to defeat the Republican Congressman, who are willing to measure that will promote our best interest.

By the way, there were some candi- dates nominated not long since in this community. Have they forgotten about it? Who's who and what's what? Ex- cellent interrogatives as it concerns Messrs Taft and Roosevelt at this juncture of their activities, Verily this is a strange world, Just a year or so ago the colored folk were berating Colonel, Roosevelt because of his position on the Brownsville shoot- up. Not long since at the New York meeting of the Negro Business Men's League nothing was held too good for the Colonel, It was all owing to the Colonel’s winning ways. Of course the fight pictures are barred most effectually in the South, Did we say most effectually? Let us see. Down about Memphis, Tenn., the picture promoters have concluded to show on a barge in the middle of the Mississippi where they claim they will be outside of the jurisdiction of states on either side. That's what is Gullo tekina a Ghani. ‘The Negroes of Oklahoma are put- ting up a beautiful fight against the proposed amendment to the constitu- tion which has for its purpose the elimination of the Negro vote. The struggle is beautiful, and let us hope not in vain, However, there is no precedent excepting Maryland on which to base hopes of success. And Maryland is north practically. Well, we shall see. ‘The seventy-second annual confer- ence of the A. M. B. Church began its sessions at Allen Chapel last Tuesday morning. Mayor Shank delivered the welcome address Tuesday evening. ‘The opening day was auspicious, Rev. J. R. Callis spoke for the churches, Gurley Brewer on behalf of the citi- zens, and J. B, Benson for the Sunday schools. A. C. Moss presided. Re- sponse by Rev. J. R. Long. Rev. Dr. C. T, Shaffer, presiding bishop. ‘The week was eventful in pleasing hap- penings for the church and visitors. The Liberians should prayerfully consider how they are going to use that extra $250,000. We suggest that something like $249,000 be put in in- dustries, farms and such like things. If they will manage to get something to sell their “talents” will be greatly increased. They might import a few horse-power plows for patterns, culti- vators, threshing machines, mowers, and every other thing for caring for crops. The soil is first. Mr. Booker 'T, Washington says, “Let down your buckets where you are.” “Aye, aye, sir,” should be the reply. Through the good offices of our gov- ernment Liberia has been redeemed of those that caused that country much uneasiness, the $1,500,000 loaned the Liberian government, it is said, will be sufficient to discharge its ob- ligations to the creditors, with $250, 000 to the good. The surplus money is to be used in getting things in shape. ‘The help was timely enough, and it ought to be the means of putting the little republic on its feet. If a reign of industrialism follows, due to the incentive by way of relief from en- tanglement and the cash on hand, it will follow that there will follow a period of thrift and economy, and an impetus in a civil way that will cause a looking up of things there as there never was before. Civilization has not heretofore been greatly impressed with the industry of the Liberians, this judged by its output, its commerce. ‘Will they do better since money is on hand, and with a friendly govern- ment holding their notes? They must do better or in the end become a part of this government, which, of course, is no bad thing in a way. It would, however, be a travesty if after the country should have to revert to the original owners, the American people, bringing back the charter of liberty that went with the original conveyance. We fecl to say that no such thing need happen. The money sent should be a stimulus and not a mess of pottage. Liberia can come up if it will. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ‘rhe colored public schools of Evans- ville are in good hands, from the School Toard and. superintendent to the grade teachers. There are four buildings, with thirty-four rooms In use, under thirty-one teachers and four principals, two of whom are supervising Drinc'pals and one a high School principal.

Chicago, III., S.F. 6—Manager Sam Corker, Jr., gave the patrons of the Pekin Theater an excellent bil Monday night. being Labor Day, the "first nighters" were here. The audience packed the house at both performances. It was just such another night as when "the house was there." Permin and Crosby, the act, was the hit of the evening. The act was styled "A Holiday in Musicville." As a young girl, one of the best novelty, it far surpassed all other things that has been seen on the stroll for many moons, at least by colored performers. Permin used the act some years ago with another partner. On Monday night Miss Goldie Crosy, a delightful little actress who knows her business, was his partner, and they are really good partners. while they get off a good deal of comedy, she scream when Perrin makes music from pop and Miss Crosy gets music from a wan tub. Tones similar to a violin are heard from the clothes prop and mandolin music from They used a number of other devices of a "wash-woman" to make music, and not lose with getting music frozz clothes with life like clothing covered with bells. Mr. Perrin is quite fortunate in having Miss Crosby and the new team will no doubt make continuous hits up and down the "stroll," for the Grand and Monogram. The neatest and most artistic number on the bill was that of Sampel and Reilly. They were fashion plate vocalists and occasionally for a hammode figure and fashionable gowns, evening clothes, they've "got em". The Great Lawrence Albertia, the cannon ball and hair hair marvel, was a most beautiful figure, and capped the climax when he had two strong men to hold his hair while he turned them around and like school children. Raising and jiggling the climax in his hair, J. Aldrich Libby and Kathine Thayer were not so well received, especially the woman, whose voice was not clear nor sweet in singing numbers of an operatic man. Wulffenk, the flexible Venus, was a good number, and this woman showed herself to be as flexible as a snake. The Webb Troupe, novelty acrobats, concluded that they were the ones which certainly pleased the packed houses. The Grand. The manager of the Grand has returned to the city, and the house is having splendid success with the new bills. The manager of the Grand, the manager of Taylor, and Taylor, of Louisville, weer on the boards. That they made good was evidenced by the applause and favorable reviews of the owners and are making good this week. The bill for the week includes The Pampilins, one being a female corrective, and she is a woman with a great variety of favorites, that play the part of old man and old woman, go big, as usual. As a banjo picker, Vance Lowery is immense. He is a man of great energy. Monday night, Mr. Harry C. Jennik, formerly manager of Carter's Virginian Warbler, is connected with the Grand, and will be stage manager of the new Monogram. Mr. Kline gave his patrons a very good bill this week. It was headed by Kelly and Davis, the two well-known comedians. Dude Kelly has a new wardrobe, and many of his friends sing such songs as "The Man Who Owns Broadway," "Home, Sweet Home," with other melodies, and "My Friend" who women in a trio speak. A good song heard new songs and fine harmony, McNell and McNell were the other two comedians. A new series of moving pictures were shown. Next week Mr. Klein will have Henderson and Thomas. Kelly and Davis are at the Imperial this week and will be at the Juno Theater, Milwaukee, WI, next week. Harry Goodman's Four Samoan Girls are making a hit at the many theaters in the outlying circuits. Helen Goodman and Maud B.

GANS' OWN STORY OF HIS LIFE; WORKED HARD TO WIN TITLE "Old Master's" Real Name Was Gamp -Started Out in Life Working in -Market. Then Took Up Boxing. The following is Joe Gans' own story of his first career, written in 1907, after he had decided to lead a square life and acknowledged fake fights in which he had participated. BY JOE GANS. My real name, you know, isn't Gans. It is Gamp. People called me Gans, because it caused me to be a mother, to adopt a name to fight under. I began fighting when I was 16 years old. I was born in 1874 in Baltimore, instead of 1875, as most people think. We were not a mother, my mother when I was a little boy, had to work for my father didn't do much to support the family, and my mother took in washing and ironing. She took me two three suits of clothes a year, of course, and was always anxious to me go to school and learn something. But I went to work in a fish market when he was a fast runner, and I always was with the white boys. in the market I boxed a good deal after hours. Once, I bought a boss and his brother a set of $5 boxing gloves. Then I boxed more than ever. I got to go to work other than boxing. I got to pair up with and nearly every day I boxed with two other fellows at a time. They would both go after me, and that's how I first locked a duck and duck and for myself. First Fight for $2. My first light was to a finish with another young fellow. We fought for a $2 set and a collection. The collection came to $5.40, so I got $7.40 for winning. It looked like a lot of maney, and I toot it right home to my mother. If right My next fight I won in twenty-three I got a purse of $8. rounds, I began picking up little fights, meeting the boxers and wrestlers who traveled around giving exhibitions and earning a few dollars here and there. I took it to the gym, and I wrestled it. It wilted her, She asked me my mother it got it, and I told her I won it gambling. But she was afraid I was stealing it or something, so at last I took my uncle one night to see me fight, and show him how he wrestled. She wanted me to stop fightlist and I told her I would. But I couldn't keep away from it long, for I liked the game too much by that time. It worked, but I didn't have much of a punch, but I was very fast and I could jab with my left hand in great shape. I didn't know I had a right hand. The first big fight I had was with the opponent. "He" was a little Joe Walcott for fighting. He had just knocked out George Dixon. He beat him in six rounds. In the third I knocked him down with a short right to the chin. He was very bad and I could have finished. And I had known a little more about the game. Rest Man Hard to Pick It is hard to pick out the best men I have ever met, looking back over sixteen years, nil full of fights. I wouldn't say it was Erme. Frank was clever, but I can honestly say that I felt myself master Hawkins, but I didn't. Hawkins, although he hit me one blow that was harder and more damaging than any other one punch I ever got. It isn't Nelson. I consider Bat a fine bulldog, a wow man, and hard to beat in a great fighter. I think I can safely say that Willie Fitzgerald is the man. Until Fitzgerald fought me for the lightweight he he was playing, I was the best sporting man of the country thought my time had passed and picked Fitz to put me out of the game. Fitzgerald was the best player of the game and strong. He was clever, and he was a natural biont fighter. He swung a great deal, and his swings were dangling. He was a great swinger of swinging on chin after the other, of watched him closely and timed his swings as well as I could. He made me do a lot of ducking. I would duck the first swing, grasp my jaw by half an inch, grasp my jaw by half an inch. Why, Herbert, who was managing me then, was nearly scared to death for fear I might be caught in the fight, when I came back to my corner. Al said, "For God's sake, Joe, be careful." Hard Fight to Fitzgerald to the children. I had to give Fitzgerald a terrible beat it would have been easier the second time. Somehow, no fighter can ever face a man who has given him a bad beating, with the same confidence he had before. Fitzgerald would have been easier that night as any man I ever fought. One of my early fights was with Young He. He was a wonder when we fought that night, enough to put him out then. He was a mighty peculiar fighter and had the most original style I ever saw anywhere. He stood right up to me and never gave me a chance to block him, pulled back before him, and after hitting him. He had a thick, short neck and he never ducked a blow, yet it seemed almost impossible to hit him. I felt like I was at close quarters and having all the blows picked up before they landed. It felt like punching in a feather cushion. Fighting him, I learned some things about boxing, made other men easy to hit, and I knocked a number of them during the next year. Jacobs Lanky Bob as Model. About 10:30 p.m. Fitzsimus was the most famous knitter—bob the country. He had put out Jack Dempsey, Jim Hall, Dum Creedon, and a lot of others, and had finished Peter Mather in a round, followed Fitz around and watched him as he was meeting all corners on the round, and cut them out on the round or two. I always had a great student and I watched every move that Fitz made. After I went home at night I would lie in bed and try to figure Fitzsimus's movements out in my mind, and how he punched them. That influenced how I boxed them. That influenced a boxing lesson in my life. I made Fitzmyl model. I learned his system of using short hooks that traveled only a foot or THE mineral wealth of this country has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold silver, iron and copper miles await the fortunate men or women who discover their true location. A wonderful instrument called the Spanish Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected. It has been used in women accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. This needle has interchangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular mineral sought for. Lost and buried treasures of money, gold and silver are located. Successful Miners Use These Needles on our writes: "Have got $10,000 in gold in your mother; "Located $400 first time I went out; "I have never mine on my plantation with this instrument; the miners and mineralists value this tool; the miners and mineralists value these needles have been almost impossible to obtain; we thank to the Miners and Prospectors Agents a lot of these wonderful instruments and other mineral resources; for large catalogue--guaranteed and full information." P & M AGENCY, 725 Second St., Palmyra, Pa. so, and I became a knocker-out myself. Fitz always looked awkward, but to my mind was the cleverest fighter I ever saw. He didn't look fast, but he was fast, and he didn't get away from his punches. Age has been now, but he can still beat a lot of them. It seems queer that even Fitz has dropped back now. All the fighters who were great when I was young are gone. Some are dead and some of them have been fighting in the ring, but I am still going along fighting as wel I ever did in my life. Beats Kid McPartland. In '97 I beat Kid McPartland in New York. McPartland was very clever and astute. I won on a decision in twenty rounds. I tapped jabbed and made a clever fight of it. In the first round I dropped him with a right hander on the jaw—one of those short Fitzsimmons punches. He took nine, and was as much as I do. Now could he have kept his hand out and flashed quickly after that. But I didn't have experience enough yet, and he stalled. I had the fight well in hand all the way, and was so clever that he pulled along to the end by blocking and jabbing with me. That was the first fight that brought me any big money. The betting was 16 to 6, and took my part of it back to my team. She never had to do any more hard work after that. I always looked out for her, even when I was down to a hard, thin skin. I got between $5,000 and $6,000 for beating Jack Daly. Daly was one of the best lightweights in the country then. He had just fought a twenty-round draw with the best player in the coming champion. I dropped Daly for the count in the third round, but, like McPartland, he was clever enough to stall me off when he got up. I won on the back in twenty-five hard fought rounds. Develops a Punch. While I was winning over these top-notchers I was developing my punch all the time, and put out a lot of the fairly good men. Then came the fight with George McFadden. That was the only one I ever encountered in life. I underestimated McFadden, who was a mighty dangerous man in those days. He was as tough as Battlefell Nelson and besides that he could fight. Oh. He was a better man that Nelson, all around. McFadden started rushing, and before we had gone many rounds I certainly wished for a rest. He came every second time, hammering all the time. My cleverness, my ability to beat the men, he gradually beat me down until I was helpless, and in the twenty-third round he knocked me out. I was well whipped and I was able to study out ways study out a way to beat the men who have been beating me. I fought McFadden again three months later and got a draw. Three months later still I beat him. I was able to study out several times on nearly even terms, and it wasn't until 1902 that I finally polished him off in three rounds in Frisco and settled all questions between us. McFadden wasn't nearly so dangerous a man, but he was awfully tough proposition to beat down. He was an iron man. **DARKNESS ALWAYS DANGEROUS.** Dal Harek fought a dangerous fellow to fight. I met him for the first time in New York in 986. He got the decision in fifteen rounds. It was a bad decision—but why hooler now? I fought Dal again in 1900. He was always on for a quick finish. Dal was always on for a quick finish. He had the one most dangerous punch I ever saw used in the right. It was a long left hook, with the arm nearly straight. It was an easy blow to get away from. It was an easy land it landed it was almost a sure knockout. I knew all about this one punch of Dal's, and I looked for it. In the very first round we were punching away when he came in. He was in the floor and heard the referee say "sik". I hatt realized what was going on and managed to get to my feet before the count of ten. Hawkins rushed in to finish how I instinctively hooked my right over and caught him on the jaw. Then as my head cleared I found myself standing there looking at Hawkins, who was flat on his back. I was in time. We were both too wooxy to land a knockout. In the second I put the right over again and Dal took the long count. After the fight I happened to meet Dal, who was not expecting to slip that left hook in so early in the fight. He just tried it softly when he saw a small opening in my guard, and to his surprise it went through. I didn't expect to slip that left hook in full force behind that blow he would have knocked me cold. Dal and I as friends wanted another fight. I took him again just three months later here in New York. It's a curious thing, and it shows how dangerous that left of his was. He had a gun, and he had a friend that it grazed my jaw, instead of landing squarely, he might have put me away. We mixed it again, and in the third round I dropped him with another right hook. He was a man, and the awkwardness he was to be feared. The only way to fight him was to watch closely every second of the way for his left hook. The blow was easily avoided you saw him in time, but he struck you like a rattlesnake, and if he landed the fight was usually over. Never Feared Erne I never considered Frank Erne a very dangerous fighter. When he won from me in New York it wasn't because he had any of the best of me in boxing or fight-ring, but because he had blood blinded me. I had never been cut in a fight before. I had never seen my own blood flow, and the sight of such a stream scared me. I thought I fought again at Port Erie I had my battle planned to an inch. For nights before I lay in bed thinking out Erne's moves and figuring out how to go back one step or two steps when they give ground. Erne, when he went back from a faint, would only go a certain number of inches, and then start forward again. I planned to meet him in the street, and he drew back to a certain position, hook my right hand over to the spot where he ought to be. I could have followed my schedule with eyes shut and put him behind me. I just figured on. We feinted. Erne drew back just so far and stopped. I was following him, and my right had was already started when he stopped and bobbed back to me. He was out for several minutes. It was the quickest change of a championship on record. Dal Hawkins knocked out Martin Flaherty at Carson the same way, only Dal used his left Walcott's Vicious Blows. For about eight rounds I tried to put Nelson out. I had planned to do this uninterrupted as the time came I was going to shift my style. Nelson took all the beating and came up for more in a wonderful way. Nelson was able to stay, to stay, I began making him do the work while I rested. I intended to make it a long fight, using Nelson's own tactics—barring the use as he wore others down, and when he finally became exhausted I THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER would knock him out. I didn't care if it took all day and all night. Then I figure out how to get him. Gans' Last Battles Gans wrote this sketch of his fighting career during the winter of 1907. During the following year he began to go back. A life of loose living demanded a life of adventure. He was eary day's 1908, with Kid "Herman" at Nev, and allowed the Chicago boy to stay eight rounds. He next took on Jimmy Britt on September 9 in San Antonio. He took on a knockout in six rounds. On September 27 he won a twenty-round decision over George Memsic at Los Angeles. 1908 he took on Bart Blackburn and knocked him out in three rounds at Baltimore and Spike Robson at Philadelphia in the same time. He won the Beer counterfeit, was Gans' next victim at San Francisco on May 14 in eleven rounds. Then Bat Nelson was given a return match and knocked out the old master at San Francisco in seventeen rounds. This time he was the Dane's master and could stand the seige of training and reducing to 133 pounds ringside, but he had so far exerted himself in training after periods of careless living that his strength and stamina were gone, and on September 9 Battling again knocked him out, this time in twenty-one rounds, and allowed the long line of defeated champions. He had just one more fight after this. With his health shattered he fought Jabez White the Englishman, in New York in his first fight in Baltimore, but in his cleverness with him and that was all. After this his health failed steadily. He opened a hotel in Baltimore, but his falling strength began to call. He fell and was taken to a hospital, renewed strength, but soon it became apparent that he was a victim of the white plague, and as a last resort went to Arizona last winter. He fell and again to his old home in Baltimore but had made the change of climate too late, and when his physicians in Arizona told him he had only a few days to live he pleaded to be taken to the home of his mother, and more dead than alive he was rushed across the continent, being kept alive by oxygen. Gans made and wasasted a number of famous men, including a gambler. The biggest purse for which he ever fought was the $33,500 offered for his first fight with Nelson at Goldfield, but this sum Gans received only $11,000, the biggest division to get on the match with Nelson. * ST.

The headlines over an excellently written article in that well-conducted newspaper, the Tenem, that featured the Johnson pictures here. Films show exchampion to have been outclassed in every stage of the game. White man not wore him down, unable to unsee wore him down. The article then goes on to declare that the initial display convinced the audience of several things that heretofore have not been made clear to be published, accounts of the fight. The audition was a bit concerning that Jeffries was outclassed in every department of the game. He was outboxed, out-generated, outsugged. His strength even was not equal to that of And Jeffries was not doped if the moving pictures reproduced the scenes at Reno in anything like their natural performance. He was a man who was his superior in every department of the fight game. The real trouble was that Jeffries' famous rushes, his left jabs, his swings, his crouch and his stunts, were his trademark. The white man tried all of these and each failed of its object. Johnson had a way of meeting each new style battle troop, his smoker, his masker, and his stunts to the advantage of either. "His every blow," says the Times, "was either completely blocked or completely eliminated, allowing any sting that it might have caused." The former champion was as active and as clever as any time in his career. He was light on his feet and ducked and dodged every move for a big man, not all of purpose. So it seems that Jim was simply in for a good trimming, and he got it. It is not hard to imagine that he have taken his $100,000 and beating and to have admitted frankly that his dusky opponent was the better man physically. Jeffries' talk of being doped, of seeing the world differently, of symptoms compared to helped his case. A correspondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association says that Jeffries' description of his symptoms compares to his profession to the he is suffering from an abhorred blood malady that has killed or marred more men than "war, pestilence and famine." The average age of Jeffries' victims has been of being fairly beaten by a Negro than to have the world understand his failure to be due to this disease. Incidentally the pictures as yet have caused no race riots.—From The Indianapolis Daily News. MOBILE. ALA. LAPORTE. IND. ACKSONVILLE, ILL. KNOXVILLE. TENN.
