BY CARY B. LEWIS. Special to THE FREEMAN. Na. 288 gave a "Love Fear" Sunday at 212 State street, that proved to be one of the most delightful affairs of its kind ever given in Chicago. He was a part of parts, trained in the art of writing songs, playing all kinds of instruments and having the voice and an ability to speak in a succession of extending the hand of fellowship and welcome to those that are in the same business and not a member of the union. To say that they are a part of the union is its ability. The Freeman representative was there upon an invitation of Mr. Fried Burch. He heard the interesting reports made by the president and financial secretary of the financial members. It was organized through the influence of Col. John R. Marshall and Alex Arment was its first president. He has moved to the office of officers are Jas. E. Smith, president; W. A. Sherrell, vice president; Geo. Bailey, financial secretary; W. Berry, recording secretary; Mr. Chas. Elker brought his violin and he be artistically rendered "Cavilier Rustilian" accompanied by Mr. Stewart Broman, a musician, and musicians that are well known in vaudeville, delivered a short address. It was short and sweet. He spoke of the part the musicians played since the days of King Solomon and said that no occasion was complete without the musician. He spoke of the talents pressed the hopes sorrows joys and pleasures of nations. He expressed his delight to be present and wished the audience. The closing musical section was that he said he played *Jawdawk's Minuet* and *McDowell's "You a Wild Rose." Again the evidence was spellbound with his mastery and this was evidenced by the vociferous applause given the performer. The Freeman representative was called up to perform. He thanked the invitation and presented and launched out upon the benefits of organization and the results of the same. He supported those that had taken part in the invitation and unbound success. He told of the support that The Freeman had always to musicians and the theatrical people and said he was interested in the future. The Freeman is under many obligations to Mr. W. A. Shewell, acting master of ceremonies for words of the audience. The *Lost* est was interesting and enthusiastic. It had the ear marks of good will and brotherly love. Each member of the audience afterwards smoked and talked about things of *interest* to the union. The meeting began at 1:30 in the aftermath and it was 6 o'clock before they parted. Among the visitors present were Mrs. Jeline Burch, Mrs. James T. Tucker, Jeline Burch, Sam Stewart, Eugene Renfroe, Rineke Kelly, Lankey Lewy Peyton, John W. Keros, Mrs. Lillian Adkins, Mrs. J. W.

Mr. Robert Jackson, brother of Mr. Emmanuel Jackson, the widely known undertaker, died Sunday morning at Provident Hospital. He died of a complication of pneumonia, sixteen years of age. His death was quite shock to his many friends here, as it was to his wife and friends of Pittsburg, Pa., where he lived for sixty-four years. He graduated from Virginia and went to Pittsburg with his parents when he was one year old. He Pittsburg and then finished at Avery University, where he studied intelligence and energy he went into the contracting business. Out of his life's work he is said to have amassed upwards of $200,000. He told his nephew Dan, "was a human machine. He was a worker and a toiler. He loved freedom. He played a prominent part in the Underground railway, to see how Fred did ever willingly to help them escape from Virginia and other Southern States. He operated an underground railway and connected with northern philanthropists. He was a trustee of the Wiley Avenue A, M] E. Church, the oldest colored career in Pittsburgh. He was married to Miss Corinella M. Wiley, the first graduates of Oberlin University. Mr. Jackson came to Chicago September 17 to see his brother and took sick the next day and continued up to his death. He has intended remaining here for many years. He attended Ind., to see the Rev. Townsend and then to Denver, and from there to California in search of health. His body was accompanied to Pittsburgh Sunday and then to Emanuel Jackson. Interment at his family lot in the Pittsburg cemetery. Dr. Fisher Back. Dr. J. E. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn streets, Orleans where he had been attending the National Baptist convention. Dr. Fisher received a dislocation of the shoulder from a fall and he said that just as he put his foot on the street-car step the motorman pulled the bell and the car moved off and threw it over the ground, dislocating his shoulder bone. For two weeks he was under the medical attention of Dr. T. J. Newman and his son, the lawyer and insonator, 2418 S. Liberty street. He said that the railway had made no settlement with the case. Dr. Fisher has been pastor of the Olivet Church, the lowered street. When he became its pastor he found the church incumbered with a debt of $10,000. The church now owes only $5,000, and on next Sunday a rally will be held to give the church a debt to wipe every dollar off the books. Two Celebrities Coming. Chicago will be favored soon by two of the race's greatest musical celebrities, one Madam A. Azalia Hackley and the other prima doma and the other a renown violinist. Mr. White comes under the auspices of the Umbrian Glee Club and Madam Hackley under the Woman's Club. One is /due November 7 and other the 9th. There has been much talk here about the conflicting dates. The Freeport-McMoRan and both Madam Hackley and Mr. White, having known them for some years, We will take more than a passing interest in the music they present, something should be done of keep both artists from appearing in Chicago almost at the same time. Chicago is the musical center and they are appreciate artists. They show by their large attendance and generous support. If the above dates are true it would be better that other dates be held at the same time. Our organization helps another. Too many events in one week is too much. No Music at Cafes on Sunday. . . Persons that frequent cafes and other amusement resorts on Sunday nights were much surprised to find that the musicians they met were given a rest. A rule was issued by the Chief of Police that there should be no piano playing or singing on Sundays at these places. They have all he wanted to eat and drink all the wine he wished, but there was no singing. A quietus was put on "Some of These Days," "Grizzly Thinking About" and other such songs. All was quiet and serene. One member of the "stroll" said that this was done because there was to be a religious church people and this would relieve them from making a howl on this sore of amusement. The musicians and entertainers regretted operation of the new rule for it meant a great loss to them, while others said they liked the rest and a chance to mix and mingle with their friends. It was not known how long it will last. Literaries in Full Bloom.

Edwards, business manager LOCATION OF COLORED NORMAL SCHOOL Normal Enrollment Nearly As Large As the White—Nothing Doing in Politics for Negro at This Time—General Notes. The agitation over the location of the new Colored Normal School continues with unabated vigor. A site that has met the requirements of the District, Major W. J. Benson, is owned by Howard University. It comprises a small tract of land between the University and the school site or between $3,000 and $400, but being the maximum allowed by Congress for the purchase of the necessary ground, it will be sale to allyness to the board, that this land was made available that it would be a benefit both to the university and to the Normal School to have this building adjoin the university and that advantages offered by the Normal School range would give opportunity to some students who come from a distance and who could take special courses under the one advantages offered by the Normal School. The necessity of having such a preliminary course at Howard. This, the authorities in the Normal School will increase the attendance at the Normal School and hire a sired, as the cost per pupil is very high, according to the figures furnished by the board of educations. The selection of this course will open to them the students of this Normal School into the uplifting and inspiring influence of the university of Hoover, and open to them the library, science hall, public lectures, etc. It is understood to be the policy of President Thirkieldle's administration to part with the land under ordinary conditions for past four years than in the past forty years" history. By purchase a half block has been completed north of Clark Hall; on the north of Howard Place, the General Hospital, three other residences have been secured and are held by the university; on the south side of Howard Place the school purchased over 35,000 square feet this summer and open space, for might fall into the hands of parishes who would build a factory or put up undesirable buildings on it. This land is of great value to the institution, but unattended would pay for pay for this last purchase. If the authorities could raise just now about $40,000 from the sale of land not needed for school purposes, the university could be relieved of this indebtedness and other expenses. Now we can pay for this broad knowledge in detail as the broad knowledge of them at this time might endanger their success. As the wid divergence of opinion as to the wisdom of locating the Normal School on any of the sites so far proposed, it is but fair to President Thirkieldle and his associates to hold the land under ordinary conditions on their part to reduce the landed area of Howard University, nor to tender this spare tract to the oard of Education without feeling that the advantages would be evenly divided among all concerned. --- The enrollment in the colored schools is estimated to be about 13,000. The canvas of the Normal School graduates resulted in bringing in many that would not possess the classes are not full enough to give employment to the number of teachers that the Board of Education had hoped to make places for. Very few of the class of 1910 were admitted, and the authorities are reluctantly suggesting to the large number on the waiting list that they seek places in the schools of Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio, present normal enrollment about 170, nearly as large as that of the whites, yet representing only one-third of the population on the basis of race. Miss Cox, Moten, principal of the normal School, has arrived from her tented tour of Europe, but is expected next week. In the mean time Miss Jesie Wormley is acting as principal and is getting the classes in workable shape. Mr. Sevail H. Thomas, of the M Street High School, is at home again, after a trip to several of the European countries. During his absence he wrote a series of letters descriptive of the places visited by his students, now the most entertaining features of the Washington-American. Mr. Thomas took advantage of his opportunity to study social and industrial conditions in foreign lands and to meet the Ebitel Literary at an early date he will give Washington's citizens the benefit of his observations and conclusions. The political situation, as far as the colored brother is concerned, is "in statu quo." Theres "noting ding." Rumors are heard daily the wonderful jelly federal are just not getting the miracles and miracles get side-tracked, for they fail to eventuate. Dark hints are thrown out to the effect that several juicy federal are not getting the miracles, but "hope deferred makek the heart side" and the colored leaders have stopped making predictions. Like the rank and file, they are simply "marking time," waiting for the call bell. Visitors come into town, hungry and frightened. "We, who are here at the very door of the pantry, are just as much in the dark as you out 'in the sticks' as to when the grand opening is to take place." Mysterious conferences are being held in the dark as if they wish to create the impression that they "know something, and dassent until, until the word to reveal is given. All eyes are turned toward New York, to see what "Teddy" is "going to do." Man, he is a man of great intellect and it is in the wind that negotiations for engagements are under way for several colored delegations from the pivotal states who have been wining for the psychological reasons for their less than a month from the congressional elections and the colored brother is not yet in the running. To the unlitited it is as if there's a screw loose somewhere. Lient, Walter A. Pinchback, a clerk in the court office of Recorder of Deeds, has resigned, to give him the business, which he has built up while carrying on his official duties. He is one of the oldest and most capable attaches of the court office, and is the younger son of former Court Office B. B. Recorder Johnson has not yet been filled by Recorder Johnson, although there is an abundance of aspirants in and out of the office. The resignation of Luiet Pinchback offers an opportunity to decisively test the mooted question, is the office of the Recorder of Deeds under the civil service regulation, is supposed that the office was placed in the classified service by President Roosevelt, upon the recommendation of Recorder Juncio, this is now disputed by excellent authorities. Recorder Johnson has the right to name any man he pleases for the place, and there will be no kick made by the commission, and the commission control. No eligible list has been prepared, as none has been needed thus far, as the office was filled much beyond its legal quota, and when vacancies are filled, the commission control to lapse. It is known that Recorder Johnson would like to have his hands untied, giving him freedom to appoint some of the friends who have worked faithfully for the court and to whom he feels personally obligated. Col. Johnson is a firm believer in the merit system, but is not unmindful of the fact that the worker is worthy of his reparation, those who make victories possible should hold the trust of their fruits. Just what course the Recorder will follow ni filling the Pinchback vacancy is not known, but it is certain that he will guide a judgment that he will be rewarded for all of the facts is made. He has the welfare of his assistants at heart, and this winter Col. Johnson will ask for authority to increase the salaries of the entire force of the Army, and among them a private secretary, at a living wage. During his stay in Washington Henry Lincoln Johnson has practically revolutionized the political and social conventions, and the plain people of the District are stronger and better for his coming. . . . The Washington Conservatory of Music opened last Saturday for its seventh year with an impromptu recital by Mr. Carl F. Wren, promising violin virtuoso, who leaves behind a collection as the beneficiary of the annual fund developed by Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Hattie Gibbs Marshall is principal of the Conservatory and she is one of the four classes of talented musicians, who are making their impress upon the country. ... Mr. John C. Gillmer, the "live wire" editor of the Advocate, at Charleston, W. Va., spent a day or so in town last week. He is the local leaders, Judge Terrell, Auditor Tyler, and others, and had an interview with Senator Scott, of his own state, at the New Willard, of which the country may be proud. He was pleased with the New Holland Thesis which was especially lighted up for his inspection, and was pleased with the excelence and was pleased with the ownership by colored men of enterprise, owned by acumen, such as Messrs. James W. Gray, W. W. Martin and A. J. Gaskins, Mr. Gamer would be tickled to death if the assistant Register of the Treasurer Gilmer is State Librarian of the State of West Virginia, and is a political factor of influence and sagacity. While here he was in the general charge of R. W. Thompson, who showed him a few of the sights. Howard University has opened with an enlarged number in its history. The entering students class this year is more than twice as large as the entire college enrollment the year before the beginning of the preschool year. The facilities are more ample and the curriculum is more practical than at any time since the founding of the university. --- Prof. E. E. Just, instructor in biology at Howard University, has discovered that the butterfish sold in the Washington market can develop tape worms. The matter is being investigated by the pure food authorities, as well as by experts from the Department of Agriculture and fish commission. Col. James Lewis, one of the last of the "Old Guard," is in the city this week shaking hands with old friends. He has been attending the Grand Army Encampment on his way to his home in New Orleans. The office held by Col. Lewis was surveyor General of the State of Louisiana, by appointment of President McKinley. He was legislated out of office a few years . . . Two more probation officers will soon be appointed for the reformation work inaugurated in the police court by Judge in the office, who will probably be a colored man. It is essential that he be commenced right and no chances should be taken with an untrained officer. The best man for the place conceded to the Negro, if what influential people are tellingly called the "races" william Jenfer, one of the races' cleanest and most tactful characters. He will probably be appointed. A first class cook is wanted at the White House.

Short Flights. Short Flights. By R. W. Thompson. The New York Journal gives a hearty endorsement to the reall proposal that the race unite in a national celebration next June of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Harold T. Terrell should be thanked by all thoughtful people for her timely suggestion. The movement is gaining strength and a celebration of monster proportions is guarded. Some foolish likekers still circulating the report that the National Negro Business League endorsed Co. Roosevelt for the presidential nomination in 1912. The truth is that nothing was done that would have made it impossible and no mention was made of anything inconsistent with a strictly business organization's non-partisan greeting of distinguished private citizen. But, flirts will lie. Billy Delaney, the oracle of the "squared circle," thinks Jack Johnson has a long lease on the world's heavyweight championship. Says he, in a rehearsal for the eerythings on the books. He can box like Corbett, hit like Fitz, and he is able to use his strength skilfully enough to make it amount to as much as Jeff's. He is also willing to want to and let the other fellow do all the fighting. He is as great at long range as at in-fighting. There is no situation in the ring that Jack Johnson is more successful with care, several years of service before Father Time bows him with defeat. An event of more than ordinary importance in the society circles of Durham and the University, Mrs. John Merrick of the betrothal of their daughter, Miss Geneva Bell, to Dr. Peter Hines Williams, of Raleigh, N.

The Local Business League of Waterbury, Conn., incorporated with $10,000 capital stock, has put up a thirty-six-story building for the company, families. It is located in a very desirable part of the city. The building is not only a very substantial one, but it is also a place for company appointments. The company, or league, is planning to build another flat soon, as the present one is found to be such a profitable investment, paying 5 per cent twice, within the past two years. W. F. Miller is the president and J. E. Keford, secretary and manager. The Local Business League of Cambridge, Maryland, consists of about twenty-five members, whose aggregate wealth is over $75,000. They handle the investment of $75,000 a year. Their business chief depends upon the commerce in sea food. There is a colored oyster packer here, who opens the house and employs from twenty to thirty men the year round. His name is P. H. Slocum. The People's Grocery, of Charleston, West Va., installed on the first floor of the magnificent structure of the K. of P. costing $50,000, does a hustling business at $50,000. W. H. Parker is the manager. Mr. J. M. Hazel is the proprietor of several prosperous business enterprises here, as is estimated to be worth between $25,000 and $30,000. Mr. C. H. M. James has, for quite a number of years, managed successfully a wholesale commission house, dealing in the trade isn't local altogether, but more or less extensive, amounting to over $50,000 k year. The hospital can also boast of two first-class hosteries, the Virginia Hotel, 504 Capital St., Messrs. Holmes and Pack, proprietors, and Hotel Brown adjacent to the Virginia Hotel in the same street. The Texas Negro Bankers' Association was formed in the month of July, when the State Business League met in Houston. The Association is composed of five banks, viz: Provident Bank and Trust Company of Fortworth; Oregon Banking and Trust Company of Benton; Fanny Savings Bank, Dallas; Farmers Improvement Society Bank, Waco. These banks have an aggregate authorized capital of $125,000, and carry deposits of $250,000. In Montgomery, West Va. is a well-appointed hotel, owned by Mrs. S. J. Jackson. It is valued at $20,000, with an annex costing $8,000. The hotel is located on the street of the city, near the railway station. Nearby the Odd Fellows own a splendid three-story brick building, worth about $100,000. The first recessed for store rooms, the second is a hall for public entertainments, while on the third floor are the quarters of the different secret fraternities. Messenger jobs and the Butler Business both engaged prosperous business enterprises here and each one is said to be worth between $5,000 and $8,000. Mr. G. W. Robinson holds the rare and exceptional position (for a colored man) of foreman of the coal mines in this section of the state of West Virginia. The "Suggs Block" in Greensboro, North Carolina, recently erected on East Market street, is a splendid, substantial, press-brick structure, furnished with modern appointments. It's an ornament to the thoroughfare in which it is lo- The building is seventy feet front, sixty feet deep and three stories high. Its cost is about $10,000. The first floor is occupied by a large date pharmacy and a first-class millinery and dress making establishment; on the second floor are to be found the office of a hard-knox professional men; while the third floor are the starters of fifteen or twenty secret orders. This building is the property of Prof. D. C. Suggs, vice-president of the Georgia State University, Georgia, who is conservatively estimated to be worth about $40,000. WHAT THE SAGES ARE SAYING. Chase a "Bonehead." Nevertheless. "Cal" Chase's retort that the editor of the Indianapolis Freeman is a "face-scraper," furnishes no adequate proof that the editor of the Washington Bee is not a "bonehead" as charged by Editor Knox—The Advocate, Charleston, Howard University in First Rank. Howard University takes first rank as an educational institution. It has 3,000 graduates and the first year it has 1,200 students. Its second-rate five states.—Durham (N. C).

Many are anxious to see the streets of this new Jerusalem of Arkansas, but more are anxious to see the streets in their own town—New York Age. I stand for decent citizenship. I am against the corporation when it does wrong, and I am against the mob when it resorts to violence. And whenever I have power I will keep order on the one hand and insist upon justice from the other man and from the corporation on the other—Theodore Roosevelt at Toledo, Ohio. Lewey and Thompson Make a Fine Team to Tie To. Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Washington, D. C., who so faithfully and exceptionally led the office of president of the National Press Association its formation, and who declined to permit his name to be used for a second term, was unanimously elected correspondent for the ensuing year. Mr. Thompson knew the importance of acquaintance with all of the more prominent men of the country connected with the press during the first year of the National Press Association—Florida Sentinel, Pensacola, Fla. Home State? The New York Age in a two-column editorial, in which age, attention to short-comings of the national administration in regard to its attitude toward members of the race. In days of progressive republicans, it is well for President Taft to realize the true course of events. Somehow or other, insurgency cannot be be brushed aside. Wise men are saying that the current president, the republican, the trend of present day political activity is undoubtedly away from the special interests and privileged classes. In the midst of this confusion, President Taft is left out of office and in places filled with there has been no considerable number of openings to compensate for the old ones. Some may say political life is more jobs. Very true, but good jobs, like skirts, tell which way the wind is blowing. Mr. Taft must get very, very busy, and quickly, for the Negro brother is shaking his head. The president's home state, and the Cleveland Journal was the first race paper to come out boldly indorsing him; the high office. We believed in him; we believed in him; but facts are facts.—Cleveland Journal. NONE OTHER. Manager The Freeman. Enclosed find receipt for $1.50 for a year's subscription to The Freeman.

Insure a bit, and get popular. The Napier appointment was hit—Score one for the ins. Senator Beveridge is playing school master to the state with right good will. It is being said that Senator Beveridge has only recently found it expedient to address a colored audience. As for the Negroes there are so few offices and so many individuals to fill them, they might as well go around as far as possible. Has any one told Colonel Roosevelt how the crowd yelled when his name was mentioned by Senator Beveridge the other night? The truth am de light. The organization of Negro insurgers in this city, as they choose to call themselves, is not of any of the known brands; it is against the whole kaleidescore. Booker T. is hobbobbing about in Europe with the big folks. He may have fences to fix up when he gets home. The great exposition to be don't seem to be improving since the knock-out in the House at Washington. Our Republican friends have insisted that we ought to split up the votes; that the solid vote was a menace to the Republican party. They should be taken at their word; should divide up, throw strength elsewhere. Now is the time to do it. Never did think Vernon said what he was accused of concerning the Negroes of Kansas and the Kansas Unisas University. It is quite natural that Mr. Vernon wants his own school built up, the one of which he is president, but it would have been a very poor way to have done so if he had attempted to bar Negro students from the State University. Negroes want the greatest benefits notwithstanding they struggle in a diminished sphere. Mr. Vernon is not different. The New Negro is not being held up as the most admirable thing in the world. He is being studied, and his qualities are being set down whether good or bad. In this day of regeneration when reform seems to be in the air it would be a most excellent thing to take on some resolutions. Conform to the agreements of the best general society at all times, in all places. This in the form of a resolution would be something to paste in the hats. THE J. C. NAPIER APPOINTMENT. The selection of J. C. Napier for the successor of W. T. Vernon, registrar of the treasury, is in every way fitting. The fact that he halls from Tennessee will be viewed askance by some, of course, but even that state figures in the electoral college. Mr. Napier is a distinguished citizen of his state, where he has long been identified with the greater interests of his race. For many years he has been the president and guiding genius of the Penny Savings Bank of Nashville, which institution played an important part in the affairs of the colored people of that city. Since the organization f the Negro Business Men's League, he has been a steadfast friend and advocate. He has been found side by side with Booker T. Washington, a member of the executive committee helping to shape the policies and activities of that useful organization. The administration, from the viewpoint of the individual, will be applauded for the selection by the Negroes generally, however they may differ from the standpoint of locality. INCREASING DEMAND FOR / COLORED TEACHERS Report Shows Distribution of Recent Graduates of Howard University in the Educational Field. An increasing demand for professionally trained teachers in the colored educational field is shown by the distribution of recent graduates of the Teachers' College of Howard University, according to a recent report of Prof. L. B. Moore, dean of the Teachers' College, to President W. P. Thirkield. Dr. Moore reports that the demand far exceeds the supply and that because of the forward movement in education upon all lines and the introduction of the new courses of study superintendents of education are searching diligently to find well-equipped teachers to take care of high schools, normal schools, academ lies and graded schools. This demand, he says, is being, in a measure, supplied by the teachers' college of Howard University. His report shows the following distribution of last June's graduates from his department: H. L. Cox, principal of the Douglas high school, Columbia, Mo.; W. B. Oveton, principal of Mechanic Street High School, Cumberland, Md.; Miss Phoebe Perry, teacher of a Wheeling (W. Va.) high school; Miss Alice Porter Murray, teacher in a Cairo (IL) high school; Rufus J. Hawkins, teacher in A. and M. College, Tallahassee, Fla.; Miss Sadie Bruce Davis, teacher in state normal school, Elizabeth City, N. C.; Miss Bertha Hanson, teacher in Morgan College Branch Institute Lynchburg Va.; Miss Emma Williams, teacher in state normal school, Montgomery, Ala.; Miss Birdie Jordon, teacher in State Industrial Institute Topeka, Kan.; Miss Edna Cook, declined a position at East St. Louis, to return to the university for further study; William R. Williams, pursuing a post-graduate course in the university. F. D. Bluford, who graduated from the Howard University with the class of 1909, has been elected dean of the State Normal School at Frankfort, Ky.-Washington Evening Star. GOVERNOR MARSHALL ON THE LIQUOR QUESTION. "I do not believe it is possible to enforce a law which is opposed to the sentiment of a community, and I do believe that it is far better to submit this question to the units of government and to regulate the sale of liquor where they will have liquor than it is to prohibit and make our citizens lawbreakers, and, what is worse than lawbreakers, citizens who have no interest and who refuse to take any interest in the enforcement of the law. If men could be made wise, and good, and sober, and industrious by law, then I should be for that kind of law. But as people settle together to satisfy their own likes and dislikes, so have they a right to determine themselves how their personal habits shall be regulated." — From speech at Tomlinson Hall, Oct. 3, 1910. The principles uttered by the Governor are fundamental, having their roots in the hearts of men who freely subscribe to a Republican form of government. The largest possible liberty of the individual consistent with the liberty of every other individual, especially as it pertains to the personal habits is a political economic truth which admits of but very little controversy. It is not saying too much that it is the sense of enlightened man everywhere under whatever form of government to be as little hampered in his personal activities as possible—his habits. Very little indeed is conceded the governments in such matter, the stress and tendency being toward the home, the individual, since the greater amount of happiness follows when one does as he feels to do; this within his own circle of rights. This freedom has nothing to do with the violations of laws set up for preserving an individual in his rights against another individual or a set of individuals, since these laws are the necessity of society as it now is. It has to do with the individual's talking, acting, eating, drinking, the wearing of his clothes, his coming and going, all in the best known sense. Esplonage, which could only be offensive in such cases is not cheerfully well come, the prerogative will not be rendered, excepting in form at times. The Governor cares nothing for liquor himself, and in which respect he is not alone. He does respect the habits and customs of groups of individuals, and which we may think are as much interested in their health and morality as others. He insists that since the traffic endures and that if it must be regulated, that those doing the consuming have the most to say. Consequently the smallest units of government should rule that the expression on the subject comes from as near the individual as possible. As we view it, and according to the make up of men today, the principles spoken by the executive of the state will not be improved. We take the liberty to state the major principles in this more vigorous language: That no set of men has a right to dominate the tastes and habits of other men, excepting they be contrary to the laws expressed by the majority and that majority of those immediately concerned, rather than extended from afar. Any other majority is a usurpation and may rule only on statute books, but will be defied in the spirit of restoration of political and social sanity, which is felt, known and understood. SLOGANS "I am for men."—Henry George. "All men up."—Theodore Roosevelt. "For myself nothing; for men and principles all things."—Governor Thomas Marshall of Indiana. Let us see. The watchword of Henry George has long since been known and appreciated by the masses who, at times, feel to refer to it as a thing of inspiration and hope. The distinguished apostle of politico-scoot reformation was honest and earnest, albeit crotchety by the rule of men today; he has, nevertheless, fixed this imprint on the political hearts of the tens of millions: "I am for men." The Rooseveltian shibboleth is none the less forceful than that of Henry George. Uttered at the time when men were more or less restless, grasping for the assurance of things which promised the greatest benefits to the men lowest down, it came electrifying, renting the dullish aspect in twain, as it were, and through the rift men looked into the clearing sky of hope. The ends of political virtue were in him as viewed by the millions who saw the new David slay the Goliath of protected interests, defy corporate greed and unlawful combines. How now? Still the idol, but like the Napoleon (the fount of contrast and comparison) profound and general regard is met with dislike in kind, which threatens in the end the exalted place held by Mr. Roosevelt, which will be no less a calamity to his friends. If such effacement were possible, that the individual only regarded the If the world was filled with the spirit of all for the other man, no man would be without his share; not an impossible condition since it is the law into man from the Higher Authority and carried out as we have noted by him when most like Him. AS TO OUR NEXT SHERIFF. The candidacy of Jacob Woessner for sheriff of Marion county to succeed himself is a much discussed question among politicians on both sides. Fortunately for Mr. Woessner, the conduction of his affairs in office during the term now coming to a close has been so clean and impressively upright that he is quite beyond the pale of criticism from his enemies and is heartily indorsed by good citizens of both factions who desire the office of sheriff to be in the hands of a man of unquestioned integrity. Unlike many predecessors there has not been a single scandal or slightest suggestion of graft or misconduct in the affairs of the office since the people intrusted them in his keeping. Too much stress can not be put upon the importance of selecting a man of known probity to serve the people as sheriff, one who will be fearless in the execution of his duties as the law is laid down for him to follow, one who will recognize no creed or color in preference or favor, such a man we believe the people have discovered in Jacob Woessner, if his past tenure of office can be taken as an adequate basis upon which to draw a conclusion as to what his next term will be. Mr. Woessner hails from the ranks of our oldest citizenship. He has been a successful business man among us for more than forty years and in all his political career he has steadfastly kept aloof from all combinations and cliques whose ultimate aim was to fool and mislead the people. Such is the record of Mr. Woessner, which is open for the investigation of all. In the indorsement of Mr. Woessner we have taken in consideration all the facts as we have been able to glean them after a careful and most thorough investigation of his private and public life. As an independent newspaper we intend to take up the best men of both parties as our judgment may direct—men who will be considered by their worth as men and upon no other basis. The days of demagogy should be over with intelligent voters among the colored people everywhere, they should put aside the false hallow with which the demagogues have surrounded past events and cirmustances and awaken to the necessity of thinking for themselves and see to it that our weak and impassionable brothers are no longer the prey of political "herders."

WINS FAME AS KIDNEY SPECIALIST Dr. DeWorth of Cleveland, O., is a recognized authority on diseases of the kidneys and bladder, rheumatism and other sequelea thereof. Perhaps no other physician in this country has women afflicted with this class of ailments. No one has a greater record of cures. The doctor attributes his remarkable skill to the fact that he uses methods which are entirely in accord with natural laws. The methods of treatment commonly prescribed, he says, aim at the removal of symptoms, rather than the cause of such symptoms—by killing the nerves—or which suppresses other symptoms for a time, really does more harm than good; it deludes the poor victim into the belief that when the reverse is true, such treatment cannot be too strongly condemned. On the other hand, when a physician can demonstrate proves to be a true remedy for such serious diseases as those referred to, he cannot be too highly praised for his efforts in behalf of suffering human life. Dr. Werth is a man of deep learning and possesses marked ability in the areas of medicine, the sciences, and the sciences of which he has made a specialty. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Statistics just compiled at the office of the State Statistician show that in 1909 there were 10,619 cases of intoxication reported from the City Courts. In 1908 there were 10,551 or sixty-eight cases less than in 1909. In 1909 the greater part of the saloons that were in operation in 1908 were closed by the county option law. The statistics compiled at the State House were gathered from the City Courts alone and do not include cases filed in the Circuit and Superior Courts. Many cities handled all intoxication cases through the higher courts. But in order to obtain a fair idea of the success of county option in reducing the amount of intoxication the following representative twenty-one "dry" cities have been selected for a comparison of the two years. The records, which can be inspected by any one at the State House, show the following number of arrests for intoxication in 1908 and 1909 in these cities: Thus it will be seen that there was so-called "dry" cities in "dry" 1909 to an increase of over 15 per cent.

Monday night I went into the Globe. The house was packed as usual. The Globe Stock Co. offered a musical playlet entitled "The Bloomer Girls" Picnic, by Owley. This act was an enjoyable ability. It reminded me an up-to-date burlesque show. There were only two men in the act—Mr. Seals and Mr. Owley, each playing playing comedy parts. Mr. Owley was funny; in fact everything he did was funny. Mr. Owley did as he always does, when he is playing comedy part—makes you laugh whether you wish to or not. He plays a song, like an unreluctable funny; that one laughs at the one and only one Tim Owley simply from the mere sight of him. The female members of the act played their parts nicely. Tim Owley, like Tim Owley, Tenobin Forssman, Mr. Owley produced a situation that was enjoyed by all, and most especially the base ball fans. Miss Evette Simpson, as a catcher; Sadie Stiles, as a pitcher; Baby Fisher, shortstop, and Carrie Hall at the bat, with Seals as amuse, brought the house down. "All aboard for Monkey Town" was a good song number. "In the Dear Owl chair" was a decided hit. The chorus work in this song was pretty. I am told Mr. Owley stage's all the song numbers as well as producing his shows. At any time, he played the chorus, and plebe known his business as an actor comedian, producer and stage director. The vaudeville part of the show this week is a bit weaker than usual. We in the number of vaudeville acts. They are a little shy on that point. The vaudeville opens with a motion picture which was good as the subject and was very inter-connected. "Troubles" was a talking act and very good. Evette Simpson, a chi soubrette, did clever work. Her wardrobe has simply caught the Globe patrons, while her voice is not very strong, yet she seems The bill closed with Seals and Fisher, Baby Fisher singing a new song, and it was another over-night hit. But it was another night, and it sings it. Baby Seals is the male member of this team, and made the gallery gods laugh again and again at the grotesque make-up he wears in his act. Their predecessor, the "mummy," received. The Globe orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Mikell, surprised the audience this week with a standard overture, which would be played some of the many popular overtures during the motion pictures. We as the patrons of the Globe like good music and Prof. Mikell can give it to us to perform. Frank Cronk is very busy. I wonder what surprise he is going to give us next. PLAGIARISM BY S. TUTT WHITNEY To plagiaryze, as defined by Webster, means "to copy surreptitiously from others. The growth of plagiaryism in things such as the use of the midnight oil in the effort to produce something novel and original. Darwin tells us that we are the product of our environment, but our progenitors are still hanging by their tails, dropping cocoanuts on each other's heads. If we accept this theory the tendency to 'ape' is only natural, but aping and aiding us in the production of the advanced school of performers, writes his own sketches and sings his own songs. He writes, "Whitney, no sooner do I write a new sketch or sing a new song than I am in the same trouble with these human parsites who live from other men's brains. If they would use your work and give you care, they mitigate the offense. My brother and I wrote my best song hit, 'aint gain' to Bet Nobody. Nobody makes a Fool Out of Me, nearly three times as many as the number of three different sketches teams using this song as their original composition. Tim Bryan, the proficient musical director of S. H. Diddley's Smart Set Company, told me that he was composition without pulling down the windows and putting his foot on the soft pedal. He neglected to do this one day, and the composition was saw one of these parsites standing under the window with pencil and paper taking down his composition as he played it. 'The man or woman that tried to annihilate this evil will win undying gratitude and fame.' THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. yet; they were not required so early, and more, places had to be prepared for them. These precious belongings could be taken away, and must be in readiness for them. In pursuance of our quest we hiked up the road some half mile to where lay a spur of the main railway line over which the train had come. Here like the market places of the Orient was a magnificent confusion of men and animals. The spectators were watching the trains and the show trappings in general spread out like a panorama. A long line of flat cars was still laden with the effects, as far as the eye could will take in. They were too large for cages and also too tall, so they would be insulated if lions had the disposition of elephants they would also require cages even if they were big as box cars. These, too, were ample for insisted on calling them, were the smallest and most docile—if one may say so—of the animal kind. No rule discovered here, since the lion is plenty big and yet it all docile—the law of chance only rules. The show people called the elephants "bulls" somewhat fitting since the word is bulk and impossibly conveys the idea of bulk and prowess at meat and rate, "bull," elephant, pachyderm or what not moved with that measured tread and slow which looks so much bulk and prowess. The bulk—deliberate and unfortunate. Here the very residence of strength. The Mahout may climb his sides, literally swarm his body, prod and prong. And the Mahout may climb his paw piece, the Mahout, his bones would crack like a crushed egg shell in the hands of a cook. Thus those camels, one and two-twisted, iron rusty and shaggy, the very tramps in aspect of the animal kingdom. Ships of the desert? Well, yes. You were designed for something outlandish—born out of circumstances of Rhinoceros and hippos, living juggernauts, whose "disordered" bulk may well stand for the lost art of monstrosity. In those narrow confines the gilded cages of the lions round. It does not afford much pleasure to me to see those cribbed and confined when one knows who they are when at home, the lord of all that creep out of the cage of a prototype in man—a man in his last estate, who had been lord of his kind, and who finally made his weary rounds and tight Helena, while civilization squawled and yet squabbles—it is maddening. But it is no part of this story. The beautifully agile tiger—half a king at least; the hyena, restless scavenger; the lion, the giant—other old bones, were there, seen or unseen. The chattering simian in all phases—half man—man half witted—shocking, lung to human proximity—looking the same, not the same, winism evolution was there and every other imaginable thing that goes to make up a complete menagerie. In some cases, again, the second Noah would not have to pay any heed as to the whereabouts of the animals with which to begin lines anew. These all behind the scenes as it were getting into or the festival de festil—the mortal. Aside from the main tents which were numerous enough were a number of other tents which were necessary to a well regulated show. In one of these smaller tents men were busy repairing, sponging and pressing the men's clothing. This work is done when before the public, when before the public, on parade or when doing duty in the show proper. So a tailor shop is a necessity, for the men must always be at the inspection as the must be the turn. In another tent were a great heap of shoes—all white as far as one could see. These must be kept in milky white hatties. Men were cleaning them and treating them with a preparation of some kind. They were also being reftitted with lengthy hair. The blacksmith shop was up in place, good and early, awaiting the news of breakdowns or a flung shoe, or anything might happen in the "uridication" department. Men, also in their various death-defying stunts, perfectly at home in the air, and in the water, and in the mote and who will ever be with us, it seems. The mind is appalled by the events and the multiplicity and the vexations incident to mankind are for the moment of the day, and the mannequin banished to the realms of forgetfulness. So in it all Providence shows infinite wisdom, surpassing the human understandability, to keep mirth and pleasure in the word which is being eternally subtracted by hard conditions imposed on mankind. So what part is the benefactors of mankind that is so important in the economic economy. BILLY. THE LELAND GIANTS. Foremost Negro Ball Tossers in the World and Remarkable Progeny The first game was played under the new management in 1907 at Auburn Park, Chicago. One hundred and twelve games were played in the year, with 10 wins 13 shutouts. The year was a prosperous one and the company increased its capital stock from $2,500 to $100,000. The team won the Chicago League, an organization that was formed in Chicago, consisting of Logan Squares, Gunthers, West Ends, Anson Colts, Milwaukee White Sox and the Leland Giants. Ninety-two games were lost. Lost 26, won 18 shutouts and lost 2. The year was not a prosperous one and the association withdrew its team, with the Gunthers, Leland Giants, league, and with the Gunthers, joined the Park Owners Association in the winter of 1909. The Park Owners Association consisted of the following teams: Gunthers, Leland Giants, Rosseau College, Armsers, Cubs, Senacas, Felix Colts, Spe- clubs, Koster Colts, all park owning clubs, together with DeKalb, Joliet, Chicago Heights, Whiting Mutuals, The Shamrocks, All Chicagoans, Chicago Grays-Niagara, Towns, and others as travel clubs. By reason of the park used in 1977 and 1988 belonging to a man by the name of Schorling, who held the franchise in the Chicago League, and the sub-divided association secured a park of its own at Sixty-ninth and Halsted streets, this city, and began playing ball May 15, 1910, and has played during the 1980s. Of the 4—of which 21 were shutouts and 1 a tie. The season was fairly successful, the Leland Giants playing to the largest crowds of any club in the city of Chicago, playing in the ball. On Sept. 15 the club was sent East, but owing to the fact that the colored clubs of the East, with one exception, are owned and controlled by others than our people, the games East were combined to playing at the Alltoona, Trenton, Mike Donlin's All Stars of New York, Central Islip, Atlantic Collegians and Monte Cross's Athletic Stars, considered the best semi-professionals in the league as a group. These clubs are composed of league players. The club will be absent all fall and winter, as it will go into winter quarters at Tampa, Fla., on or about the first of March, and will be absent the 15th of March, when it will mobilize at Mobile, Ala., perhaps for its spring training and will reach Chicago about the 15th of May next. There has been some discussion among the Giants to form a League of Colored Cubs, consisting of teams from Birmingham, Ala.; Memphis, Tenn.; Louisville, Ky.; West Baden, Ind.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; and Chicago, Ill. It has been suggested that such an organization would pay and would enable the leading clubs of the country to visit Chicago, a field that has been practically the only city league and the undersigned would be pleased to hear and receive from the parties interested in the game of base ball from the points mentioned, suggestive of the possibility of such an enterprise. The officers of the organization are as follows: W. V. Jefferson, president; John W. Cox, vice-president; Beauregard F. Moseley, manager; J. H. Bolden, rink manager; Andrew (Rube) Foster, manager and captain. WEST BADEN SPRUDELS AND GUNTHERS Play Thirteen Inning Draw—Gunthers a Scrappy Bunch.

NEW YORK—Just finished a most successful season with the New York Black Sox throughout the New England States. He is also the man that Harry Buckner is trying to get Robertson over with the Royals. Buckner, Tearle and Robertson are looked upon out Earl to be seen in playing that country this season, regardless of color. Frank Leland passed Robertson up when in New Orleans he recommended him to the St. Paul Gophers and New York Black Sox. During St. Paul's delay in agreeing on terms the New Yorkers that have been helped helped Robertson may play in Palm Beach this winter, as he and Harry Buckner are close pals. Buckner wants to use him do the Chicago Giants are all right, but they haven't got all good dependable hitters on the club and passing up such a club the club very much at the bat, in right field and on the mound. There's good material yet in New Orleans, and the club managers will put out pages of the Freeman, for I will push out for you to pick up the best of it. Yours truly. JE L. Winning the First Game 8 to 0 and the Second 3 to 1. Special to THE FREEMAN PEOSACOLA, FLA.—The Glants hadn't played any ball in six weeks, but they played good ball and ran bases the same as they did when they were playing every day. They were very successful on their road trip, winning 29 and losing 9 games. Some of the boys have gone to their home for the playoff, but will be back next season to meet all comers. The boys have promised to be on hand for practice as soon as they are not notified, but will be well liked by all the players. They will do all they can for him when they are called upon. Patton, Oliver, Boots, Davis, Hannon and Scotland are here, where they all of the winter. Mr. Goldstucker has employed all the boys that care to winter here. He is in the undertaking business. All wish the Leland Glants success on their trip to Cuba. All boys read The Freeman and wish it success. Yours respectfully. JOHN SMITH, a Fan.

Langford was the first one of the glad- jators to appear, and five minutes ‘later Johnson came in with @ rush, smiling. Well, Tam on hand,” was the first re- mark of the champion. “Good “morning, Mr. Johnson,” said Langford, but Johnson did not reply. — AS soon as Jonson got seated he started to taik business, and though he and Lang- ford talked for nearly an hour nothing was done toward a match. “Well,” began Johnson, “we might as Wel te ae cord “All right,” said Langford, “put up that $20,000," as you said you would do last night.” “Oh, 00," replied Johnson, “you put up and I'am’ ready to’ cover it. 1am the champion and not supposed to put up Ne the_champk ied "Yes, you, are the champion,"" replied Langford; “but you said last night: you would do’ 0." “To save’ any further argument on that,” said Johnson, “I will acknowledge 1 did say so last night, but I was a bit hasty. I had ‘a good sleep since and 1 think differentiy now.” Johnson appeared nettled at acknow!- edising that fact and, drawing a roll of Dilis from. his pocket, started to. make another statement, when Langford re- Marked: "Oh, put, that toothpick up. ‘That ig only a’ ‘tack.’ T have got $1,000 nivself “and, he forthwith pulled a ‘rol from his “pocket. Johnson, however, did not put his money back, but replied to Langford : “You say that there is $1,000 in that roll of yours? Put that up’ to. call for $19,000 ‘tomorrow noon and Jack John- son will be, here on time to cover the full amount.” ‘Again Langford told Johnson to put up the “tack that it was the same roll he had last night and that not a dime had been spent out, of, it. “Phat is right,” sald Johnson. “I do not spend money.” ‘After some. more “kidding” Johnson again got serious and remarked to Lang- ford: “Well, let's talk business, Langford. You know that a bout between two col” ored men would not be a drawing card. You do not see any promoter offering a $40,000. purse for Johnson and Lang- ford, and’ for that reason I want the side bet.” “Well, put. up your money!” again chimed in Langford. “Lam the champion,” was the response of Johnson. “It 1 do. not cover tomor- Fow ‘Whatever you post’ you will make Jack Johnson look silly.

My ‘father's hame was “Bet,” and my middie name is "Bet, so you see Iam a" bet." “$0 is my name ‘Bet,’ replied Lang- ford. There were more arguments about who should put up the. money first, and dur- ing the argument a police officer | ap- peared and yelled to Jack Johnson that Ife aid not come down to the street at once and take his auto out of the way he-would put him in court. Johnson does not like to hear that com- mand, for it is constantly ringing in his ‘After pleading gwith the officer to give him a bit of leeway, Johnson and Lang- ford ‘continued their argument on’ the same ‘Iines, but still they did not come any_neater to making the match. When. Langford expressed some doubt about Johnson having $20,000, the latter pulled ‘a bankbook from his pocket that Showed that he has a big amount on de- posit. ‘Although Johnson kept trying hard to get Langford to put up the $1,000 he had with him, Langford staved him off by Telling Johnson. to put up his $20,000 first if SY wit give you a fight, Langford, said Johnson. ‘When. Langford expressed the opinion that Johnson, was afraid to meet him, Gohnson replied: “I met, you once, Langford, and defeated you." “Yes, you did,” replied Sam, “but I was only a child’ then.” ‘Again’ Johnson asked Langford to get down. to. business and added, with the remark that the police officer’ had made toohim was. stil in his mind i stthis talk with you will probably“ cost me $5 for letting my outo stand outside the building.” rom later reports it very Ukely will, for the officer stated that he was going fo put Johnson into court for letting his huto stand more than 20 minutes on the Street. ‘The fighters and their friends left. the building without arringing a match. Both Johnson and Langford later stated that they would meet again in the course of a few. days and sign articles for a finish fight. GODFREY, DIXON AND GANS OUR PAST HEROES Three black heroes. The above, men would be @ credit to any race. ‘These gladiators have done as much in their respective lines to build up the negro race as any three men in America, ‘They haveveut race prejudice in halves among the lower class of race haters; they have encouraged the lower class of negroes to act like men among men. If we are | to take the word of the many race problem orators and writers, they lay the blame of race prejudice and trouble to the lower Classes of -both races. | Following _ this up they say that prize fighting degrades and disgraces the nation. After going over the trouble of the past between two races on account of prize fighting one will note that the men who do all the thinking and talking about the race prob- lem are the real promoters of race trou- bles by advancing what will happen after a big fight especially when the contest: ants happen to be of the two divided races. These same advisors are responsi- ble for public sentiment, they preach on subjects that they know nothing about, they have never seen a boxing contest nor ever came in personal contact with a real high class boxer. The writer will admit that there, are a great many low, degraded fighters who have little or, no ambition to do anything but get into trouble and make themselves obnoxious in ail public places. All of this is true, but et us balance the Scales. We read every day of some leader of the Bible class de- faulting with all the cash in the bank, that the popular village minister has sud- denly left town, that the belle of the little city is missing.

Washington, the famous American Negro leader, arrived in London on Sunday, the object of his arrival was the industrial institutions of the working classes in England and some of the Continental countries. Mr. Washington has had an extraordinary career. Born a slave some 60 years ago, he has come to lead the American Negro progress. He has been honored by Harvard University, and was received by r. Roosevelt during the latter's presidency, an occurrence which led to considerable con Reuter's representative had an interview with Mr. Booker Washington in the course of the day. I have come, said he, to make a comparison between the people who are doing the rough work of Europe in mines and fields and the Negroes, or, as I call them, the people who are farthest down in the United States. Discussing the conditions of the race in America, he said: "There is progress, both moral and material, to report in the condition of the Negroes, and there is also improvement in the relations between the Negro and the White people of the Negro is to be found in the fact that 45 years ago only two per cent of the colored population could read or write, whereas now the percentage is 80 per cent. The increase in the wealth of the Negro at 14 million dollars a year, and their total wealth at about 600 million dollars. The racial bar is fast disappearing in business and factories and factories are patronized by both races. There is practically no social mingling of the two races, but the laws regarding the segregation of the Negro on railways are not being applied, and some few Negroes travel in Pilman cars nowadays.
