NUMBER 42 EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK ASSOCIATION FOR BENEFIT OF THE NEGRO RACE HOLDS PLATFORM MEETING SUNDAY At Lincoln Center-Large Audience Present-The Aim of the Organization Put Forth-Notes of General Interest. Special to THE HERALD It made one feel hopeful for the race on last Sunday at Lincoln Center, when some of the most prominent people of Chicagc stood upon the platform and uttered words of faith and problem. This platform meeting was under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which has its headquarters at New York. Its general committee is composed of some of the most wealthy and influential men and women of New York and Philadelphia, and holding in all parts of the United States. There was a magnificent audience of white and colored people present at the meeting Sunday. The speakers were Miss Jane Addams and the speakers were Miss Jane Addams, founder of the Hull House; Mrs. Wooley, founder of Fred Douglass Center; Mr. James Barnett, Chicago, and Mr. Richard T. Greener. All of the addresses were interesting and practical, dealing with the race question and the way out. Just another better treatment toward the Negro was the tenor of all the speeches. The story of all the addresses and aims of the organization may be summed up in a speech that spread belief that race feeling is so beated in some quarters of the country that public discussion of the legal and political situation of the colored people is important. Industrial and educational opportunity is almost universally admitted as desirable; yet many fail to recognize that race is a problem and still more fail to see that not even legal rights—whether expressly guarded by the Constitution or not—have any practical value whatever except when There has been no effort to put the Negro situation squarely before the public as a whole and in a scientific way. The Negro situation is a manifestation of Colored People propose to investigate the actual facts of the problem and to provide for its full and free education of the Negro people, freedom of contract, and public education are not theoretical rights, but the fundamental rights of our civilization. Every American wants them present, and the education has shown, however, that in a number of states peonage exists in a dozen different forms. We have to spread that white schools in white children go forward, those for Negroes stagnate in some sections and others actually relegate, that in those sections the Negro is not in the national right of the individual that is not frequently violated by the legislature. Sunday Literaries. The Standard Literature Society of St. Peter's Baptist Church, Twenty-seventh year, dearborn streets, held its regular afternoon meeting, goodly numbered to bear The Care of Tears and The Care of The Mouth and Their Bearing on the General Health. The Barnes is a graduate dental surgeon and the care for several years. Having been a success, he showed that he was fully given to giving his hearers some wholesome advice and subjects were intelligently discussed, and the doctor received many flattering comments at the conclusion of his address, the pastor of the church, was pleased of the speakers. Mr Opal Cooper sang "M Dream of Paradise." The number was rendered and precision and sweetness that for a pastor to the musical treat of the afternoon was that Miss Gladys Edwards and Mr. George Both are trained singers and the recitation of "Miserere" from Ill Toware was done by the Windsor has an exceedingly charming OCT 15 1910 voice, full and resonant and makes her high notes with perfect ease. Mr. Garner sings tenor cleverly and his voice was sweet and lyrical. Miss Lovia马布斯 received delightful musical selections. The Standard Literary Society at Bethesda Baptist Church, 3823 Wabash avenue, held a very interesting Sunday service. The speaker was Mr. R. Hooper, subject "What Has the Farmer Boy Gained by Coming to Town." Mr. Frank A. Henry read a paper on "The Voice and How It Works." Miss B. Mae Boyd, one of Chicago's sweet singers rendered a sacred solo. This number was so pleasingly given that she was requested to sing an enunciation. There was a general discussion. Boy literaries will have meetings next Sunday. Growing Demand for Patronage. Colored men in business are beginning to make a demand for patronage. This was emphasized last week when Mr. Chinkscale, a musician and composer chants 'Laundry,' and Mr. William Dorsey, musical arranger and composer said that they are graciously desirous of doing a bigger business. Mr. Chinkscale said he is anxious for trade among colored people and if they give it to me I will assure the methe best of service." Mr. Chinkscale is proprietor of a laundry and he is anxious for trade among colored people. Mr. Wm. Dorsey, who is said to be serving his last week at the Monogram theater, is going to enlarge the scope on business and he is great deal interested in well ordering. Mr. Wm. Dorsey ranged "Some of These Days" and a number of the most popular songs of the season. He will cater to vaudieville artists in need of music of any description. Mr. Dorsey is a passionate poudence from all parts of the country. Mr. Dorsey thinks the Freeman the paper for such an ad. For patronage Freeman is the paper. Reaches more people than any colored paper published. Miss Marie Johnston a Success.

Her first year's work has been a great success. She acts in the capacity of teacher, making excellent reports have been heard from Miss Johnston at the Health Office Department, and her success there is said to be a fever for ether colored examination. It has been for ether colored examination. It has been for ether colored physician would pass the examination, that a position is open. Miss Johnston has been for ether colored examination.

Men from every rank, Fresh and free and frank; Men of thought and reading, Men of delightful laughs, Men of loyal breeding. The nation's welfare speeding; Men of faith and not of faction, Men of loathing and action; Give us men—I say again, Give us Men! Give us Men! Strong and stalwart ones; Men whom highest hope inspires, Men whom purest honor fires, Men who trample self beneath them, make their country wreathe them As her noble sons, Wear stray their fires! Men who never shame their mothers, Men who never fail their brothers, True, however false are others; Climb up! Give us Men! Men who, when the tempest gathers, Grasp the standards of their fathers In the thickest of the light; Men who stalk in home and altar, Let the coward cringe and falter, God defend the right! True as truth, though lorn and lonely, Tender, as the brave are only; Men who treat were victims to trod, Men for Country—Home—and God; Give us Men! I say again—again— Give us such men! —Bishop of Exeter. To this, we say "Amen!" It is time for Mr. C. Napier to "land." Scott Bond is entitled to a season of the "rest cure." No one is sore over the things that enemies do to us. The true philosopher thanks the Lord that things are no worse. Fame is denied public men in Chicago whom the Broad-Axe has never "roasted." The election of Dr. A. M. Curtis gives an international aspect to the National Medical Association. Our educational scheme will not be complete until it teaches women how to get off of a street car backwards. The fellows who fail to get their pet appropriations through Congress are not shedding any tears over the downfall of Mr. Tawney. The fifty-seven Negro banks in the country do not represent as many varieties as Heinz's celebrated pickles. The banks are all fright and sound. A new banking establishment has been opened, colored men at Emf house, Eastern Show, Va. at the attention of Tillmans, Vardamans, Tom Watts et al., is respectfully invited to this fact. The N. B. Dodson news syndicate is an indispensable adjunct to modern race journalism. Every paper that does not set all of its own type should subscribe to the accuser, the live matter the nibbled by Mr. Dodson at a nominal rate. Again the iconoclasts have a strong argument that "there's nothing in a name," Dr. Dr. Dr. president of Gammon Theological Seminary and Clark University at Atlanta, Ga., is said to be a "hustler" from "way back Col. Roosevelt and Mayor Gaynor unite in denouncing "muckraking," newspapers. The National Negro Press Association is holding a news conference to "personal organs," which do not reflect the decency for which the Association so firmly stands. A news item in an exchange tells of a really pretty girl who can cook and sew, keep house tidily, play the piano, converse into a business and wear clothes. Will somebody give us this girl's address? We know where she can get a good husband. The Durham (N. C.) Reformer is eleven years old. Under the management of W. S. Young, it has become one of the strongest moulders of public sentiment in the country. May it live long and continue to prosper! North Carolina raised this year the largest corn crop in the history of the state. The agricultural reports give the Negro farmers a large measure of the credit for spills and burns made in this direction and to them a valuable asset in the state's development. The "press agent" was once looked upon as a luxury in which only the opulent were expected to indulge. The publicity man is now recognized as a prime necessity in the business world, a general nature, to every moral cause, to every large business enterprise or educational system. * * * * * No newspaper is worthy the name that has not a paid correspondent at the strategic points throughout the nation. News to be news, must be reliable, and reliability cannot be had in a haphazard hit or miss style, from a gratuitous concession to the press held to any responsibility for his deliverances. Get wise on this idea, brethren. Take Emmett J. Scott's sane advice and cultivate the acquaintance of the representative of the Associated Press in your home town. Keep in touch with him and impress the good side of the race upon him, and these objectionable reports of the press from the headlines of the metropolitan dailies. Mr. Scott's diplomatic plan is worthy of a patient trial. There was one colored man in Minnesota who felt as much concern over the fate of Congressman Frederick Stone himself. That man was Frederick Douglass McCracken, his secretary and confident, who wants nothing to happen that we prevent his spike in the economy. McCracken is an exceedingly useful man, and is one of the most forceful and well-posted orators that have come to the nation's capital. If a competent cook is still needed at the White House, the short Flight's main man is the most important post, Mrs. Belle Stone, of Indianapolis, Ind., who can cook a meal fit for the king of the proudest realms of the world. He is the magnificent banquet of the National Negro Business League at Indianapolis in 1904, will second the nomination of Mrs. Stone, who served that role for the first time any reason why Mrs. Stone cannot accept this big job at the White House? AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL. Judge M. W. Gibbs, another distinguishable representative of the disappearing Ode to God, has his daughter, Mrs. Ida Gibbs Stuart, his daughter, Mrs. Ida Gibbs Stuart, of W. H. Hunt, consult at St. Ethelne, France, is here, visiting her father, sister and friends. A determined effort will be made to pass the Freedmen's Bank bill at the coming session. If the president can best desire of the colored people to have the depositors of the former government bank reimbursed for their losses, every voter this fall should make it a priority to vote in the individual district to vote for it and endeavor to line up the entire congress for the measure in advance of the session. Last spring it was reported that the senate and committees of the house and the senate and only failed to become a law because of the rush of other matters at the close of the session. It looks now as if President Taft would name Justice John M. Harlan as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This would be an appointment that all America would be especially imbent.

He is friendly and unassuming, and he is a real leader of men. From what we learn at Evansville, he is a great teacher and a copacity in 1912.

Danish Ruler Converses at Length With Booker T. Washington. COPENHAGEN, October 3.-King Frederick today received Booker T. Washington and conversed at length with him on the subject of the colored race. His majesty asked the American for a copy of one of his publications. Later, as the guest of prominent Danes, Mr. Washington motored to Roskilde, the old capital, where he visited a school and had lunch. To night he will dine at the palace, meeting the members of the royal family, including Queen Mother Alexandria, the widow of King Edward. BLONDE JEWESS IS TAKEN FOR NEGRO Sues Railroad for Being Forced to Ride in "Jim Crow" Car in Kentucky. KOKOMO, Ind.-Miss Rella Ritchell, Russian Jewess, and a school teacher of this city, has sued the L. & N. railroad company in the Bourbon county circuit court, Kentucky, for $25,000. She claims she was forced by Robert Lusk, conductor, to ride in the "jim crow" car from Middlesburg to Lexington. The conductor claimed that Miss Ritchell, who is a pronounced blonde, was a negress, and using her roughly led her by the arm to the "nigger" compartment, throwing her valise upon the floor. NEGRO QUESTION UP TO THE SUPREME COURT Appeal to Be Taken in Noted Wash ington Case. WASHINGTON—Just what constitutes a Negro in the United States may be a question which the United States Supreme Court will be asked to settle in the near future. One sixteenth Negro blood in an individual classifies him as a Negro in the District of Columbia, according to a decision by Justice Daniel T. Wright, of the District Supreme Court, in the case of Isabel I. Wall, an eight-year-old child, who recently was barred from a white public school because the principal had information that she was of Negro parentage. The father of the girl attempted to force the Board of Education to reinstate the child, but failed, Justice Wright deciding she was a Negro. The case was appealed to the District Court of Appeals. If the Appellate Court affirms Justice Wright's decision an effort will be made immediately to have the United States Supreme Court pass on the question. NEGROES APPLAUD IN COURT UNTIL SENTENCED BY JUDGE CHICAGO—Stephen Green, the Negro charged with killing William Sidel at Jericho, Ark., and who was arrested here several weeks ago on a fugitive warrent, was ordered discharged from custody by Judge Tuthill. The courtroom was crowded with Negroes when Judge Tuthill announced his decision. They applauded until reprimanded by the court. The court based its action on the technicality that Green was not named in the indictment as the murderer. According to Green's story he and Sidel quarreled and began shooting at each other. Sidel was killed and Green wounded. He managed to escape to Chicago, where he remained in hiding until another Negro betrayed him to the police. Green was nearly out of the State on his way back to Arkansas when the officers in charge were ordered by telegraph to return the prisoner to Chicago on a writ of habeas corpus. Green declared that he could not get a fair trial in Arkansas. BEING STUDIED. In a talk before a group of colored people, not long since, the speaker said that when the white people saw the necessity for organizing societies for the purpose of studying the Negro race, it was high time that the Negroes get busy along the same line, not merely to study questions affecting the race, but for the studying of the white race as it concerns its relation to the Negroes. This should be with the very best intent, the object being to discover what are the hindering causes that keep the races from approaching a plane of better understanding and how best to go about removing those causes. In the more recent years the cry has been that too much race discussion was going on, and that as a consequence the Negro's cause was being hurt. There is such a thing as overparading, thereby inviting a contagious condition, involving others who otherwise would not have been concerned. The advice was acted on; there was a perceptible lull in the thing of setting forth race grievances; but this proved no reedy. The alliment is deep seated. The remedy was superficial, and it is painfully evident that there must be fitting activities, those that cope with the conditions, as best they may, until the very best possible conditions obtain. What is radically wrong? Groups of colored people might form for the purpose of finding it out, just as they are being studied by groups of white people, whose purpose also is to find out things. We have been laying stress on our accumulations, materially speaking, our wealth in dollars and cents, insisting on making it the first thing in our curriculum of racial salvation, holding gto the theory: Get money, and all things else shall be added unto you. The money idea is not to be cried down; it probably is the most potent thing in winning one's way in earthly affairs, but it has been shown that money is not all of it, especially as it applies to the race. With the present-day fetters removed, standing as the white people, without restraints on every hand, it would not be necessary to think of influences operating differently than with those people. But when a colored man is charged $3.00 for a crab and a cup of coffee, as happened in Baltimore the other day, when the price should have been 35 cents, his money was well-nigh counterfeit. In the same city it is also noted that the white residents of a certain section are petitioning the city council to draw up and pass an ordinance forbidding Negroes, on the pain of a jail sentence and a fine, from crossing a certain line restricting the section. Here, again, the Negro's money is well-nigh counterfeit. Then money can become valueless excepting as it may be the means of contributing to the immediate wants. It will be said, and with reason, that the offenses mentioned are offset by the splendid general progress, and which is not to be impeded by incidents of the kind. But if incidents of the kind are not merely incidents, but widespread and infectious, making manifest in every community where the Negroes are in large numbers, then the consolation is not so complete. Who is at fault? Why should public places of all kinds, theaters, hotels, no matter whatever section, be drawing back, turtle-head fashion on the approach of suspected danger, when colored people are the subject? And if these were the only ones that stood out against the race it would matter but very little, since in numbers, as compared with the millions, they would count but for little. But unfortunately these are the indices of the millions; they are influenced by them. This same influence ramifies everywhere, contaminating everything until nothing of the spiritual life of the country comes to us unsullied. Why should this be? Not why should it have been? This we know, we may well say. But at this day, when enlightenment is in the ascendancy, in the language of Hiawatha, "Why should these things be?" Is the fault in our stars, our fate, or is it remedial? If remedial, groups may not be too quickly formed, having for their object the study of the conditions, just as the race is being studied, and, of course, with the hope of the best possible good resulting.

SATURDAY, OCT. 15, 1910. Thursday was an ideal day for the visit of Colonel Roosevelt. Bishop Smith wires that the Quarter Centennial Fund of Morris Brown College, of Atlanta, Ga., amounted to twenty-nine thousand, five hundred dollars. "Abe Martin" in a restaurant recently observed: "Those ordering steaks must be identified." He might have said, those ordering steaks shall be indemnified. Andrew Carnegie is still extending the full, glad hand wherever it is most beneficial. He has given $15,000 for a library to the Colored Normal School of Montgomery, Ala. King Manuel will yet enjoy his health—will have plenty to eat and wear and a nice comfortable place to lie down in. That's as much as the most of us get at the very best. New nationalism and the rest of it was the theme. It is a much better political investment, he evidently thinks, than the tariff question with its opportunity for sectional strife. A restaurant keeper of Baltimore had nerve to charge a colored man three dollars for a cup of coffee, but did not have nerve to give him receipt for the money, which the colored man asked for. A writer speaking of the recent Louisville fair by colored people said that the "Darned affair was so rotten that it was good." It is very possible, all very possible. We've seen things of that kind, many and many a time. The race question is not a question of party versus the colored race; it is a question of races. The voter should this in mind and cultivate as much friendship as possible with his vote. Mix it up a bit. If moving pictures had been invented long ago perhaps the necessity for insane asylums would not have been so great. Whether jails would have been in so great demand would have depended on the character of the pictures shown. The old Negro in time of trial called on the good Lord and good devil. He refused to take any chances. The colored voters may profit by the example and vote for good Democrats and good Republicans. Remember that all the political virtue does not reside in one set of men. There are good Democrats as well as Republicans. In fact there are no distinguishing marks about them. If the Democrat appeals to you, looks best to you, why, by all means, vote for him. Indianapolis has graduated into the genuine skyscraper class. A "fourteener" is going up and being done in most excellent trimmings. Our visiting friends will not have seen Indianapolis until they see this beauty—our beauty. Ours even if some one else does foot the bills. The Negro has the reputation of detesting slavery in any form. What about political slavery? Cut away for principle's sake if there are no other inducements. But there are other inducements. There are good men on the Democratic ticket. Now take a chance. The falling of kingdoms and empires is not very beautiful to contemplate since the ruins carry down with them individuals of prominence in the world, positions conceded them by custom and usage, and which concession is so general that these rulers and their immediate nobility learn to occupy a plane very far from the people. It is no wonder that the divine right of succession is so often put forward as a theory of monarchies. Nor will the people care very much what is Mr. Roosevelt's motive if he brings them relief. Even if he tries and fails he will get credit—that's the only witchery of the business. It's astonishing that other high politicians had not thought of the same thing. No; they thought of being condemned by the limited aristocracy and as a consequence the stress has ever been towards it. And they are not different it is the whole stress of life, to turn to those just beyond, to those of money strength in spite of the vastly greater power measured by influence, education, intelligence in its broadest sense and also numbers which are as a thousand to one. Not all of these will turn to Mr. Roosevelt but the condition is his field, and none better than he knows how to care for it. --- STICK TO YOUR JOB, JACK. Jack Johnson insists on taking on a new fad—automobiling; racing at that. He is just like the rest of those who get enough to care for their wants. These generally want more. Johnson runs to notoriety. Money don't seem to be his long suite. He wants fame, more and more fame. He has conquered the pugilistic world, he now sighs for new fields. Our advice has been that Johnson should stick to his job. Anybody can run an automobile that's got nerve. If he should clean up the whole racing outfit, it would be because he had the best machine and equal nerve. If he thinks he can add much to his glory by winning an automobile contest he is sadly mistaken. He can lose a great deal of his glory if he is defeated, and simply owing to who he is. Then Johnson should remember that his carcass is too precious to risk bruising and mangling in one of those "devil's own," that is, when they are careering around a race track. We don't regret it at all that his license was denied him for that particular thing. Of course, we note the fact that Johnson's color cut a figure in the matter. This is regrettable in the sense that every happening of that kind is regrettable. Here, however, was a case where Johnson had to be saved against Johnson. GOT THE COLONEL CORNERED. Some think to have the Colonel gigged, owing to the variance between what he gives out as his own personal views and that of the plank on tariff in the platform of the Republican party in New York. It seems to have been the understanding that the New York convention was virtually a Roosevelt creation down to the dotting of an "i" and the crossing of a "t" in the platform of principles. When down in Atlanta the other day Mr. Roosevelt was questioned by two very enterprising newspaper reporters, who asked him, how could he reconcile the two attitudes on the tariff question, the inference being that the New York platform was his own. He gave it out that he did not stand on the section in question, but stood on the declaration of principles enunciated in his speech as temporary chairman. Mr. Roosevelt maintained that his influence did not extend so far as to compel the committee on resolutions or the platform committee to accept his views as a whole. Will the country be satisfied with the explanation? The insurgent West admires Mr. Roosevelt's talking attitude where it is understood he stands for the material reduction of the tariff. The New York platform being of the standpat variety is of course in accord with the view of the Easterners. The question comes up naturally: How is the Colonel to ride these two horses going in opposite directions? The fact of it is Mr. Roosevelt is not relying on the solution of this tangle to carry him through; he is kicking up vast more dust than that, and by which those questions as matters of principles would not be fatal in either event, are obscured. His New Nationalism is a hummer it appears, and startling captions, the old morality is maintained, and new propositions which are founded on it are released from the fecund brain. The old propositions which were his political assets stand him well in hand, since through them he has won his place before the American people, and they are everlasting, at least, until the last and least has the justice and consideration shown that is shown the first and greatest. The Colonel is adroit enough to keep the principles working, just as money capital in the hands of a shrewd investor. Heat him in. "According to our ability we intend to safeguard the rights of the mighty; but we intend no less zealously to safeguard the rights of the lowly. Our ideal is equal justice for all; justice alike for the rich man and for the poor man who does right; and the same stern justice for the rich man and the poor man who does wrong." Here is the old political gospel put forward as only a Roosevelt knows how. It is plain that he is of the opinion that the American has got none too much faith in tariff tinkering as a relief from any woes endured. He hammers in the place the people know positively about—'equal justice for all'—the thing that has been uppermost in the minds of men ever since time began. He also contends for the other present day demands which appeal directly to the people. It is said that Mr. Roosevelt is an adoit politician. It is not owing to any superior intelligence and understanding that he has such a great hold on the people. It is because he went after them rather than for the aristocracy to which other men appealed, it being the natural thing to flock to the classes when up in life. Mr. Roosevelt resisted the infatuation, played consistently the role of an intense Democrat. Is he honest? Don't know. He acts very much like a sincere man in his devotion to the interests of the people. ASSOCIATE JUSTICE HUGHES. It is now Associate Justice Hughes of the Supreme Court of the United States. The New York Governor has been distinguished for his fine talents since he entered public life. In fact he is of singularly fine ability, having a mind of rare susceptibility and keenly analytical. In his student life Mr. Hughes greatly outclassed those about him; proved so apt that at times he was taken from school for the good of his health. The genius of the school room does not always maintain the standard through life. The dull plodding Grant graduated from West Point way down in the list, yet his name was writ like that of Abou Ben Adhem at the close of the civil war. Gen. Robert E. Lee graduated from the same institution in the first or second place, and beautifully held his own. Mr. Hughes is not unlike him in the matter of applied scholarship, maintained his own in whatever relation of life. True, enough some reforms he sought to institute did not meet the approval of political bosses and simply because through them they saw their power of manipulation vanishing. He stood for the primary election as the first step in the selection of public officers, and which is held an advanced step by the best political thought. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER The failure did not detract from the individual, rather enhanced his value since it showed the manner of man—the man who stood. The selection of Mr. Hughes for the Supreme Court was an acknowledgment of his political virtue and legal acumen. Here is the fitting place for great, fair minded men, this, the final court in deciding the conflicting interests of the citizens. All of his fine qualities will be steadily drawn on as they should be that the country benefit by them. Among the important questions the court may have to deal with in the future are those where the races are concerned. No other question will call for more wisdom, intelligence based wisdom than these should they be presented. Perhaps it is not proper to think of Mr. Hughes as a special friend of the Negroes at court in these matters, but it is proper, we think, to rely on him doing the utmost to conserve the public weal. To say more would be to prejudice our future in that important court. KING MANUEL OF PORTUGAL. The people, at times, when oppressed by hardships incident to their life, refuse to be further oppressed, rise up in their might and smite right and left in the name of their firesides. The condition seems to have been in King Manuel's land. He did not profit by the experience of his father, who while in a great measure loved, had nothing in common with his people, spending the people's millions for follies while woe and want stalked through the land. This kind of condition will be less and less endured as enlightenment becomes more and more. The day seems to be gone when those furthest from the people are nearest the people. The example of Mr. Roosevelt proves the proposition's opposite conclusively. The people want a King Humbert, if they must have a king. He was one of the first to throw himself in the breach of woe and want a few years ago when Italy had her day of trials. Those with ears near the ground where the faintest murmur of unrest is caught up and then reflected back by way of good wholesome activity, legislation that is remedial in effect are the ones who will lead in this era. Manifestly King Manuel did not catch his cue aright. He thought on Manuel too much; he paid the price. But calamitous as it looks there need be no grief excepting for those who laid down their lives. The seed of the new government are sown in the blood of these martyrs, whether for or against the new regime. The king will still have his health, his freedom outside of his small country, and plenty of the wherewith to keep the wolf from the door. He will yet enjoy a high and select companionship and moreover, the association of his relatives. He has been deprived of nothing, excepting the right to lord it over a nation of people, every one of whom God made his equal in all respects. STAND UP FOR MEN. Stand up for men! The candidates are busy in these days, telling the voters all about it. It's the same old story with a new version, sometimes; the end is always the same, the men want the offices. Nothing wrong in that excepting when one set of men want the offices all the time. In local affairs men ought to be the idea when there are no vital principles at stake. Of course it is just as reasonable for Republicans to hold the offices as Democrats; but why Democrats or Republicans as party men? All of the good men are not found in one party. This goodness means capability and respectability as the term goes in reference to men. Some good men are found in the Democratic party, in the Prohibition party, in the Socialist party, in any party that is before the American people asking for their suffrage. If one set of men had all of the qualifications for office it would be so much the worse for the people, since in the end these would also become corrupt, according to the rule of men entrenched in power. The candidates are before the people, of all parties. Good and qualified as men are, some are better than others, more fitted for public office holding. Some are congenial in their ways when of equal capacity, and that counts. There are good capable men on the Democratic ticket, some of whom appeal as men to the voters rather than Republicans for the same offices. What's the matter with giving them a boost? Nothing at all. The colored voters have earned the reputation of being hide bound; they have placed too much stress on their Republicanism. This squands an impossible thing. It is a fact nevertheless. The colored voters have in the past stuck so tight to the Republican party that they have proven a menace. This in the words of white Republican leaders. The colored voters have a right to vote the Republican ticket in spite of what may be said, yet if this same love and devotion beget opposition from a race viewpoint, the wise thing to do is to do the other thing whatever it may be that will tend to increase race respect. There is a great deal of principle in that under the very peculiar circumstances. A vote for a good Democrat is a vote for race preservation. Viewing it in a narrower sense it means more consideration when the jobs are to be given out, and after all, those are the two essentials, the increased value of the race and the increased chances of livelihood. These things being threatened by the one party idea, it's the wise one that will look around a bit with the view of using his political activity as a leverage for boosting along the essentials. SEEES NEGROES AS MENACE- EDUCATOR SOUNDS WARNING In the convention of the Christian Church now holding at Topeka, Kan., the Negro question came up for discussion. Among the expressions let fall was the following by J. D. Lehman, of the Southern Christian Institute, in Mississippi: "If we do not take steps to discharge our duty toward the Negroes this generation will rapidly undermine our society. The emancipation proclamation freed about 4,000,000 slaves. In the last forty-five years these have increased to about 10,000, 000, so that they are about one-tenth of our population. The social condition of our towns and villages is simply alarming. Unless we arrest sinister tendencies we must prepare to see in the next fifty or seventy-five years labor, strife, mob violence and night rider depredations." JOHN BAUCH. Persuant to our expressed policy of last week—the survival of the fittest in politics—we take pleasure in presenting the name of John Rauch to the colored electorate of Marion county for the office of county clerk. In the presentation of Mr. Rauch we have taken into consideration all the dominant facts of a sterling personality involving the principles of business sagacity, honor and uprightness; a man in whom we believe are centered all the requirements necessary to the proper conduct of the office. As has been stated, it shall be the policy of The Freeman to indorse only men of known callibre and uprightness, regardless of political affiliations, for the various offices representing the government of the people. Mr. Rauch is perhaps one of the best-known business men to the colored voters in all Marion county. He has been identified in a business way with most every colored business man in the city. He came to Indianapolis in the fall of 1870 and embarked in the cigar business one year later on Indiana avenue, near the old yellow bridge, where he remained for seven years. He then moved to the Circle, now Monument Place, and started a jobbing and retail cigar and tobacco business, later removing to Washington street, near the Park Theatre, where he remained for twenty-three years. Ten years ago he moved into his own factory building on W. New York street directly off of Indiana avenue, where he still conducts a prosperous business. With a business career, such as we have pointed out, behind him, together with his known principles of honesty and uprightness is the strongest possible endorsement of Mr. Rauch's fitness for the office he seeks. SAYS NEGROES ARE LEARNING Speaker Declares Only 43 Per Cent of Race Is Illiterate. DURHAM, N.

The new Hiawatha, that threw open its doors on Monday evening, is a thing of beauty. More on this next week. "The Teddy Roosevelt march," by Miss Blanche K. Thomas, is one of the newest musical hits on the market. It is dedicated to the "first American citizen." Miss Josephine Tobias, a very capable singer, is at the Foraker this week. Spencer Finley closes a successful season at the Hiawatha, where he is to be a fixture. Prof. Charles G. Hurts, until recently chormaster at St. Mary's P. E. Chapel, has taken charge of the musical work at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, and Prof. W. Scott Mayo has succeeded W. H. Carter, Jr., as chormaster at St. Luke's P. E. Church. Benoni Prici Hurst, son of Dr. John F. Hurst, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Choristers, has joined the violinists in the Amherst College orchestra, and is the only colored student in the orchestra. He is giving eminent satisfaction to his manners have made him very popular with his fellow-students and with the faculty. Miss Minnie Brown, the accomplished vocalist and dramatic interpreter, left for New York Sunday night, to superintend extensive wardrobe and costumes which she use this fall and winter as leading lady of the New Hiawatha Stock Company.

It was a show that Shop, and Jolly (E.) Dav's & Co. in "Any Clams." Both were hits. Starting Monday night, Mr. Jolly Dav will put on for the first time in Dallas. Kemp & Kemp, this pair of mith-makers were such a hit last week, that Mr. Austin will hold their act over for another week. There is nothing to worry about all the time. Next week they will be seen in Mr. Kemp's latest sketch, "This Room Will Do." Now this team has been a hit here for the last three weeks, and the man these headliners himself on securing these headliners. Miss Carrie L.

C., of one of the best known families in that city, was educated in schools of his home city. In 1894 Mr. Mikell took charge of the mr. Mikelluskegue Institute, and gave full contact with the music rector. To better equip himself in his chosen profession of music he entered the New York Conservatory of Music in New York, where he studied in a class of ten. He afterward entered State Agricultural and Mechanical College of South Carolina, at Orangeburg, where he made musical director of that college. After serving in this capacity for a while he was made musical director of the Florida Baptist Academy, the same city. Mr. Mikell also kept in Jacksonville a regular musical studio, giving lessons on violin, guitar, mandolin, cornet THE LEGEND OF THE FASHION MEN OF THE 19TH CENTURY and clarinet. When he left to go on a concert tour through the West, he and L. V. English, his studio was closed. On the way to the leading schools and colleges and play houses of note, always winning much glory and gold. Mr. Mikell traveled one season with Fritz Mintrels's Minstrels and was musical director of that minstrel, and was also director of Jenkins' Orphan Band of Charlesen, which took part in the inaugural concert in March. He is now musical director of the Colored Globe Theater of Jacksonville, Fla., and well sustains his popularity by appearing on local concert programs with violin or cornet, winning awards. Mr. Mikell readily stands at the head as all around versatile musician. His name is a drawing card, and his skill is outstanding in demand, a tireless worker, thrillingly brilliant in execution, and full of soul. "SMART SET" CO. (SOUTHERN.) For Geo. W. Bullion. As it is going in for Texas, the land beneath the moshine, moon- light, glitter, glitter. The house which typifies a regular Southern audience in attendance to a colored show is necessarily top-tier, but the audience is not necessarily top-tier in the extreme, and are now giving vent to their unrest by the most obstreperous chattering and rithmatic stampinw of the feet. The stage manager calls out, Overture. The orchestra men enemen, the bandmen, and the kind of tumultuous applause. Then comes a smart overture. Even the audience is aware of the end of the orchestra's strains, the curtain slips up on a bunch of gorgeous instruments, and so about the stage chanting away the great opening chorus, "We're the Grand Smart Set." The end brings on Miss Daisy Martin as Mrs. Dewer, Miss Nettie Taylor, Miss Emily, Miss John C. Wright and W. All Baynard as Leventen Mildew and Grafton Smoothe respectively. After a brief conversation Mrs. Dewar withdraws, leaving Mildew and Smoothe antagonize each other, which ends in Miss Johnson's singing "Lucinda Be My Lady Lu." assisted by a double sextette. This number starts the house to go. After Mrs. Dewar has answered to a sufficient number of encores Mrs. Dewar and Mr. Smoothe enter, Smoothe eagerly pressing his suit for the Widow Dewar's hand, who he has learned to handle in conversation which enues between them she introduces Mr. J. Homer Tutt SHE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. as Sam Cain. He is preceded by a dozen girls in a slow enchanting ensemble dance. Then enters Cain in "When I hear a Minstrel Band," assisted by the girls and as many men on parade. The girls and men form a monochrome machine grow monotonous. There might be some difficulty in passing this number bitt for the exciting entrance of Mr. Sank Sims as Surtu Ketchem, attired in a thong train has arrived having a strange looking individual. Due investigation proves this individual to be no other than Geo. Washington Bullion. Fancy Salem Tutt in an automobile, with J. H. Woodson, the great basso, Schaffean and a half dozen men in attendance. The running, yelling, wowing of a bunch of girls foresees a second later Mr. Bullion is driven in lordy decked, upon a wheelbarrow laden with suitcases, etc., and is abruptly dumped on the stage in the midst of a surprised bunch of laces and gentlemen, who seconds the friend, Sam Cain. The ladies and gentlemen soon disappear. Bullion and Cain then hold the comedy-thirst audience at bay eight minutes with their catchy monochrome appearance and takes a shot at Bullion's money. But Mr. J. H. Woodson, as Chief Rain-in-the-Face, the big Indian, interferes. Pretty soon Bullion gets rid of both of them with the deverous use of his big razor, and ends the first scene in The second scene opens with "Our Hearts Remain the Same." Mr. Woodson soloist and full chorus, which is a duet with the conductor, but Mr. Bullion refuses to be initiated into the "swell sociisity," notwithstanding he is tormented by gents, goats, gigantic rusters, ghosts, and counsels. The scene then finally shows a general slush up, when Bullion gets his razor into play again. But Cain appears in time to save his friend from disgrace by presuading him to leave and doctor him. The scene then costsed by Mr. Frank Jackson, royal high initiator. At this point Bullion enters suddenly and the encounter between him and the initiator is followed by no iso in the second scene, full chorus. Closing the first act with screams. The third act opens with a full chorus, "This Short Life is but a Dream." (It would take a column to detach it from the song.) Mrs. Dewar, then Miss Nida Marshall as Moana in a boy's attire, appears, announcing Mr. Bullion. "That's Fair Enough. You're a Miss. You're Miss Marlin scores heavily. At this juncture Mr. Bullion loses some valuable papers, the boy finds them. Smooth gets hold of them and in the fight, he himself is challenged for a duel by Bullion, and they go on to the field and pull off one of the greatest spasms ever written, "Yes, for Honor They will Fight. On the street, the street with his target practice and succeeds in bluffing Bullion, but Sam Cain forces Bullion to fight. So they are in the slow count begins, the duel is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Al Strander as Parson Snow, who blesses the duelsists, the slow count is begun once more, the slow count begins, the duel is interrupted by the arrival of Mrs. Dewar and Johnson and other ladies in a feeble attempt to have it called off, but to no avail. Two shots are fired, but miss their mark. Slow counting once more, excitement reigns, Major Johnson makes his get-away. Surtro and Moana in time to prevent bloodshed. A grand medley finale follows, closing with "When the Sun Sets in the South sand, the sun sets in the cold damp. The applause emends one of the beginning of the show. Notes. Miss Mabel DeHeards would like to hear from the Claybrooks, Miss Alice Leslie Carter, Clemente and Miner, We We Simmons and Lill'an Garny. Address 3130 State street, Chicago, Ill. Mr. H. F.

W. Mr. J. H. Woodson sends regards to Billie Ward. The Smart Set Co. will be in San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 16 and 17. While playing a night's engagement at Calvert on the 30th of September in a little two by four theater, an old colored gentleman, who boasted a man of forty for fifteen consecutive years, was asked by Stage Carpenter Strander to provide three soap boxes for prop. When fifteen minutes was called three boxes were found on the floor, and the man was so soap. The bill was presented to our manager, but I think it wasn't settled. GEORGE COTTON BEATEN. Protage of Jack Johnson. PITTSBURG-Morris Harris, of New York, had much the better of George Cotton, protege of Jack Johnson, in a six-round bout before the Union Club the other evening. He ended the fighting up to the middle of the fifth round, and did some very effective work with a right uppercut in the clinches, which were very frequent, thanks to Harris. The first session was Cotton's on work with the aggressiveness, though Harris landed a couple of good rights to the law and clinched. Cotton had first Now is the Time to Book Your Act, In Vaudeville and Stock, at the Open time for good acts all the time; long engagement. Salary no object if your act is what we want.

So when you wish to play the Globe, address all communications to blood in this round from Harris' nose, and his stock looked pretty good. The second went to Harris, who was flipped over by the crowd, a most healthy respect for Cotton and followed his hit-and-hug style, which did not add to his popularity. Still he planted Cotton some forceful rights to the face and his fighting his affectionate proclivities and had George clearly rattled and fighting wildly. The third was fast, but even, Cotton was still coming in, as he was doing his best to get Harris. The fourth was very slow. Cotton still forcing, but not very fiercely, and Harris paying his less-experienced opponent the cowardly charge. Early in the fifth Harris landed a crashing right swing to the jaw of Cotton, who was still coming in, and dropped on the count of six. This was Harris' round, as much as he had seven crashing rights to the jaw and Cotton's address looked to be No. 33 Queer street. Harris did his only forcing right, right here, but couldn't drop Cotton again. The sixth went to show that Harris himself had been on the business end or some effective blows and though it bolted to his fire, if he slipped to the floor at one stage and appeared a very tired and winder fighter as he lay there. There were but four blows struck in this round. Three rights to his fire, he proceeded, but he was very slow in facing the fighting. The semi-final was between McCulligan and McCulligan, of Pittsburgh. This was McCulligan's fight all the way. He proved himself a good, cool, two-handed fighter, who should be heard from. Morgan, though game and though appeared slow and in poor wind. The second bout was between "Kid" Coffey, of the Hill, and Young Sullivan, or Lawrence, who was an even older fighter, though Coffey appeared to be much the cleverer of the two, he refused to open up and fight except in the fifth, when he got the worst of it. To perfection, but was carrying the thing rather far when he wanted the referee to caution Sullivan in the fourth round because the latter struck him on the back of the head to try and make him open The first bout was between "Kid" Braun of Homestead, and "Young Stone" Braun of Homestead. Skiing nothing whatever but gameness, and the clever "Kid" cut him to pieces for six rounds, but couldn't drop him and couldn't make him back up. He forced the fightin' George Little, one time manager of Jack Johnson, was at the ringside and Ferguson against Johnson, Lang or Ferguson against Johnson, Lang or Ferguson was also present.

Word comes from Los Angeles that Jeffries is anything but a well man, ‘That, the trouble that seemed to fasten itself on him at Reno two days before the fight has developed into a case that is puzzling the doctors, says Otto Floto, ot Denver, who is very close to the for- mer champion. Jeff's blood seems to be in terrible shape, and boils, large and small, are appearing all over his. body. if this is true, then we will know what alled him on duly 4 last, and there will be a reason Tor’ the ‘miserable ‘showing he made against Johnson in that. ring that day. “Once before when Jeff fought Sharkey at Coney Island, the same trou- ble appeared, and for a’ time Billy De- laney thought that he kould have to post- pone the fight, But Jef was much young- erat that time, and it did not bother him. With years ereeping on, he lacked the vitality to shake it off, and he sut- Tered a. perfect’ collapse “just. before en- tering ‘the Ting. “Farmer Burns, "in the dressing room, was one of the first to no- tice this sad situation, but was warned not to make it Known to Jeffries or any- ‘one else.” ‘This accusing him ot coward. feo is ail rot.” Twill never forget what Billy Delaney said to me about ten years ago: “Jeff is the gamest man inside the Fopes I ever’ save, and, the ‘mildest and most patient wheh he is not engaged n av fight T ever saw. He. is surely @ Strange creation.” Why was he never Accused ‘of cowardice in. his previous fights? It’s too late to start a story of that kind now.

Joe Choynski declared his boxing with the Missourl giant showed him that Mc- Leod had the makings of a world-beater.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Political Skies Brightening for the Colored Brother. (Thompson's National News Bureau.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 12. The political skies seem to be brightening for the colored brother. President Taft, following his program to take up in orderly fashion the many and varied problems that require attention at his hands as president of all the people, held a conference at Beverly last Wednesday, by appointment, with a group of Negro leaders, out of which, doubtless, will soon come some important and far-reaching results. Emmett J. Scott, secretary to Booker T. Washington; Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Second district of New York, and James A. Cobb, assistant U. S. district attorney, Washington, D. C., were the president's visitors. The president expressed himself as appreciating general conditions as they exist among the colored people, as expalained by his visitors, and announced himself as being in hearty sympathy with the suggestion that some encouragement be given to them along the lines suggested in his inaugural address—that "the recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress." Some appointments out of the ordinary class of places bestowed upon colored citizens are likely to be made at an early date. This will mark a new era in the progress of the colored people, and be a distinct advance over political conditions of the past. The conference is said to have been marked with great cordiality and yet with very great frankness on both sides. The president's assurances are said to have led his visitors to take a most hopeful view of the policies to be pursued in the future with regard to the Negro people. Gov. Pinchback Deputy Internal Revenue Collector. Announcement is made of the appointment of Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, one time governor of Louisiana, as a deputy collector of internal revenue, in charge of the corporation tax. His headquarters will be in New York City, and it is understood that the place carries a salary of about $3,500 per annum. The selection is an admirable one from every point of view and will be received with general rejoicing all over the country. The silver-haired ex-Louisianian is immensely popular with both the masses and the classes in every section of the land. There is not the slightest doubt that the appointment will go far to allay the complaint in some quarters that President Taft's administration is not friendly disposed toward the Negro as an officeholder. No man deserves more at the hands of his party than ex-Governor Pinchback, and the recognition enables him to round out a picturesque and powerful career in a manner befitting his valuable services and personal dignity. The early life of "Pinckney Stewart" as he was known in his boyhood days, reads like a romance. He attended school in Cinchmatti, but left while a very young man and secured a "run" on the Mississippi river steamboats, a calling which he pursued for years. Finally he located in New Orleans and became active in political life. In 1872 he was elected governor of the State of Louisiana, and later was chosen as United States senator. Complications arose which prevented him from taking his seat in the upper legislative body of the nation and he never qualified for the office. The blocking of the senate resolution granting him his seat is accredited to Former Senator George F. Edmunds, a Republican from Vermont. Governor Pinchback wielded a tremendous influence in politics during and after reconstruction days, and has participated in all of the campaigns since the Negro became a citizen. In many national conventions he has been a delegate and a potent factor in naming the candidate for the presidency. He is now a citizen of the State of New York, but for the greater part of the last twenty-five years he has made his home in Washington, where he has been a large property owner. It i presumed that the appointment of Governor Pinchback may be attributed to the activities of his friends identified with the Booker T. Washington wing of the civic compact. *** The National Independents Hold Conference. The executive committee of the National Independent League held a conference Thursday at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion church. Rev. S. L. Corrothers, president of the local league, presided. At the public meeting in the evening Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the national organization, delivered an earnest address, urging the Negro to unite for his political salvation, independent of any party—to establish what is now a negligible quantity—a political leadership. W. Monroe Trotter devoted his speech to an arraignment at the Theodore Roosevelt's speech at the New York meeting of the National Negro Business Men's League, concluding with a challenge to the Colonel to meet him (Trotter) in joint debate on the race question at any point that might be mutually agreed upon. The league, by agreement, decided to advise the colored voters in New York to support Dix for governor; in New Jersey to stand by Woodrow Wilson; in Ohio to vote for Harmon; in Indiana vote for legislators favorable to John W. Kern for senator, and in Massachusetts vote against legislative candidates favorable to the re-election of Senator Lodge. Senator Bulkeley is to be supported in Connecticut, and in West Virginia and Delaware the voters are advised to stand up for the full Republican ticket. The league, it is said, plans to wage a vigorous campaign along the lines marked out, and will have the sinews of war to carry out their policies. Dick Shaw Out of Senate Restaurant. Without the sale of liquor the Senate restaurant is a losing proposition, according to the experience of Richard A. Shaw, the veteran headwaiter, who for the past two years has been in full charge of the cafe where the "grave and reverend seignors" are wont to fill the inner man. When Mr. Shaw was given the management two years ago after thirty-five years of service as headwaiter, it was thought that he could make it a "go" if any body could, as he knew better than anyone else just what appealed to the appetite of every senator in the chamber. He was to receive any profit he could make; but, not only were there no profits, despite the fact that he had no rent, or other expenses to pay, he is poorer in pocket today by something over $600, and needs no further proof that a Senate restaurant cannot be conducted successfully on a prohibition basis. Shaw's predecessors like wise "went into the hole," following the curtailment of the liquor privilege. The committee on rules has elected Lyman F. Sterns, formerly manager of the cafe at the Chevy Chase Golf club, as Shaw's successor. Sterns is a white man. That "Mass Meeting" a "Frost." The allegel "mass meeting," called by some irresponsible individual to "protest" against the administration of the existing school system and to force the removal of Assistant Superintendent Rocosee Conkling Bruce, developed into the worst kind of a "frost." Widespread advertising and much fuss and feathers succeeded in bringing to True Reformers Hall last Friday evening an "outpouring" of ten indignant citizens. Sundry orators "orated," and some cut-and-dried resolutions were presented, all to the effect that there is something the matter with our public schools. No remedy was suggested, save the removal of Superintendent Bruce, although no nomination was made of any other educator who would be likely to give any large degree of satisfaction to the various elements of our 100,000 people than the present incumbent. No one claims that the school system is perfect, but it is producing better results than any that has yet been devised, and it is difficult to convince the substantial removal of this community that the removal of Mr. Bruce would make the situation better. He is able, conscientious and painstaking, and he should be supported instead of being made the victim of abuse and misrepresentation the fight against Mr. Bruce is purely personal and malicious, and those who are fostering this campaign are trying to grind an axe at the expense of the peace and wellbeing of the constructive workers of the community. The change of teachers at Deanwood, which is made the excuse for the present agitation, is endorsed by both the Board of Education and the citizens of Deanwood themselves, and it is understood that Miss Kinner herself repudiates the movement alleged to have been inaugurated in her behalf. The whole thing is a "tempest in a teapot," and from on these so-called "mas" meetings will be given the cold shoulder by the people who are honestly interested in the proper development of our educational system. The True Reformers' Hall meeting was deservedly a failure. Ase the Gossips See It. Prof. William Jenifer is growing in strength as a candidate for probation officer of the District of Columbia. He is the best fitted aspirant in the field. It is customary to tender a banquet in honor of all of the principal federal appointees shortly after their investment with the robes of office. According to this time-honored custom, dinners are due Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds; Col. W. D. Johnson, special agent of the general land office, and Whitfield McKinley, collector of the Port of Georgetown, D. C. Besides these there should also be a public function in acknowledgment of the election of Dr. A. H. Curtis as president of the National Medical Association. Bethel Literary and Historical Association had a grand opening on the 4th of October, signalizing the beginning of its twenty-ninth year. Prof W. E. B. DuBois delivered a scholarly address on "The New Forward Movement," counselling unity of racial action against all forms of prescription on account of color. The discussion was a lively one, the participants being Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Prof Kelly Miller, Attorneys E. M. Hewlett, Robert L. Waring and N. B. Marshall and Professors W. H. Richard and Jesse Lawson. At the second meeting, held Tuesday evening of this week, Mr. Neval H. Thomas, of the M Street High School, has just returned from an extended tour of Europe, told a graphic story of his experiences abroad. The administration of President Garnet C. Wilkerson starts off in admirable fashion. Bishop J. W. Smith, of the A. M. E. Zion church, is seriously ill with a complication of complaints. He is at his home, 1309 R street, northwest, under the care of Dr. E. D. Williston. It is feared that a delicate operation may be found necessary. Dr. L. G. Jordan, of Louisville, Ky., corresponding secretary of the Baptist Foreign Missionary Board of the National Baptists Convention, and the INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1910. PUPPY DREAMS STATE POLITICAL CONTROL ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE treasurer of the National Negro Press Association, was in the city last week attending the grand opening of the National Training School for Girls, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is president. He reports an excellent state of affairs at this thriving institution at Lincoln Heights, D. C. The movement to have Justice John M. Harlan named as chief justice of the United States Supreme Court is receiving warm support at the hands of the press of Washington, regardless of politics or other extraneous considerations. He is the logical choice for this exalted post, and it is the sincere hope of our people that the president permit him to round out his long and useful career as the head of the nation's court of last resort. Miss Sarah J. Janifer, a prominent factor in the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of the A. M. E. church, has under consideration the question of taking up systematic missionary work in western Africa. Miss Janifer is especially adapted to a mission of this kind and should she accept, she will be a powerful agency for the illumination of the Dark Continent. W. D. Johnson, special agent of the general land office, is in the city for a brief period. While in the field Mr. Johnson visited eleventh States and successfully handled some of the most difficult cases that have fallen to the lost of his department. The work agrees with the courageous Kentuckian, for he is oloking the picture of health and has taken on considerable avoidupos since his appointment. Mr. Johnson is still of the opinion that a hustling, fearless, straight-from-the-shoulder Negro journal is needed at the nation's capital, and as soon as he can make the necessary arrangements it is very likely that he will launch a paper here of the kind he formerly PUPPY STATE POLITICAL CONTROL conducted so effectively in the Blue Grass State. The colored night schools are being wel lpatronized. The enrollment on the opening night was 1,149, and Director Bruce Evans is of the opinion that the total will reach 2,000 before the books are closed. A wide range of practical subjects are included in the curriculum. The Night Business High School is overflowing, and a brilliant year is promised under the principalship of William H. Davis, the expert stenographer and specialist in commercial education. All of the blue prints used in the architectural and engineering work of the War Department are made by a colored man, Samuel F. Tyre, who draws a salary of $900 per annum. He does his work with the skill of an artist, and his competency is vouchered for by every official with whom he is brought into contact. W. Sidney Pittman, the noted architect, has been spending some time in the South. He is superintending the erection of a number of fine buildings for Dr. J. E. Sheard's National Religious Training School at Durham, N.C., and will look after the Carnegie Library for Colored People at Montgomery, Ala., his plans for this splendid building having been accepted by the trustees. Mr. Pittman is the son-in-law of Dr. Booker T. Washington. It is said that pressure is now being brought to bear upon Mr. Pittman to locate in Birmingham or Atlanta, but it is scarcely probable that he will abandon his lucrative field in Washington or leave the beautiful home he has established at Farmmount Heights, a growing suburb of the nation's capital. Col. James Lewis has returned to his home in New Orleans after a very pleasant visit. The local Negro Business League is being revived by President Robert L. Waring. Mr. Waring was elected to the chairmanship over W. Calvin Chase by a majority numbering two to one, not long ago. Mr. Waring pro- proses to run the league on strictly business principles. The league and the Commercial Council will probably consolidate. Upwards of two hundred students are registered at the Normal School No. 2, of which the cultured Dr. Lucy E. Moten is the official head. Miss Moten has sent hundreds of capable teachers into the field, and this crop bids fair to be among the best she has yet turned out. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of the Board of Education, delivered an able address Wednesday to an immense audience at the Appalachian Exposition at Knoxville, Tenn. Before returning eastward Mrs. Terrell will visit her father, Col. R. R. Church, at Memphis, and friends at Nashville and Chattanooga, filling lecture engagements at each point. Mrs. Terrell continues to make sentiment for the forthcoming celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Edgar Commer, the winning mascot of Cole and Johnson's "The Red Moon" company, is spending a forty-night in the city. Edgar, who is a "pocket edition of George W. Walker," is the adopted son of J. Rosamond Johnson and makes his home in New York City. He is an actor, comedian and dancer of stellar proportions. The intellectual standard of Howard Law School is to be raised. President Thirkield has announced that after 1911 all students who desire to enter the law department would be compelled to submit certificates of graduation from an accredited high school or to pass an examination showing an equivalent training precedent to entrance. Heretofore an elementary education has been sufficient for entrance to this school. The annual tuition fee is to be increased from $25 to $50. The effect of this elevation of DREAMS GALLOON JOURNEY E. PAUL mental standard and increase of fee will be the bringing in of a superior grade of men, and the restriction of privileges to those whose previous education prepares them to grasp the intricate problems constantly arising in the study of law. A course of lectures is being arranged for. A similar elevation of mental standard is to be made in the medical department. Howard alms to rank with Harvard in toughness, and under President Thirkield's plan a Howard diploma will eventually mean as much as a "sheepskin" from the proudest school in any land. The following promotions of colored clerks at the Census Office are announced: From $900 to $1,000 per annum, Ocea Taylor, Alabama; $840 to $900, William P. Bayless, Ohio; $600 to $720, Stanley H. Cox, John S. Hunnicut and Nathaniel M. Nesbitt, Ohio; H. H. Thwatt, Texas. Hon. John C. Dancy attended the dedication of the new and magnificent Varick Memorial Temple, at Philadelphia, last week. Mr. Dancy says the edifice is one of the very best in the denomination. He delivered the most telling address of the occasion. Since his retirement from federal office Mr. Dancy has devoted much of his time to the lecture platform and there has been a steady demand for his services. The North Carolina tour of Dr. Booker T. Washington, beginning on October 28 at Charlotte is attracting much attention here. A number of Washingtonians will be members of the party, including Former Recorder John C. Dancy, R. W. Thompson and others. Bishop G. W. Clinton will direct the tour, which is factiously described as an "educational pilgrimage." Since these state tours have been carried on with such advantageous results in cementing the relations of the races, Dr. Washington has been rechristened "The Advance Agent of Peace." THE FREEMAN Can be found in Peru, Ind., at 88 East Ninth street. Mrs. Julia, Turner, agent. PAST WEEK AT LOUISVILLE Kentucky Home Society for the Colored Children Organized. Special to THE FREEMAN LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The Kentucky Home Society for Neglected, Abandoned and Helpless Colored Children has been organized and incorporated in this city and bids fair to become a great power in the salvation and betterment of the general condition of Lane, and Mr. Benjamin Hayes. He the race in this State. Nearly four years ago, after the establishment of the Juvenile Court, with its probation and truant officers, a number of prominent citizens, taking cognizance of the sad neglect of the colored child, sought to arouse the sympathies and awaken the interests of our fellowmen for the purpose of securing appropriate quarters in Louisville and out in the country, where this class of children might be received, cared for and kept until adoption. The judge of the Jefferson County Court called a meeting of citizens of both races and indorsed the movement. The plan of the Jefferson County Court was explained in detail, but at first our white friends were slow and timid, for fear that it might entail a great financial burden upon them. It was then thought advisable to call together a few thoughtful colored people to ascertain if they could be induced to undertake the enterprise. At this and at a subsequent meeting, both of which were held at the residence of the Rev. C. H. Parish, the matter was most thoroughly canvassed and it was decided to make an effort to secure a farm in Bullitt county, owned by the United Brothers of Friendship. This came to naught, and, undismayed, the friends of the organization went before the General Assembly and stated the needs of the destitute colored children. The joint committee on appropriations promised that if they would complete the organization and perfect plans for carrying on the work, that State help would be forthcoming gin the near future. The letters of incorporation were secured in August, 1908, and the Eckstein-Norton Institute was chosen as the temporary receiving home. This society is pledged to foster and promulgate the following splendid objects: To protect the inherent rights of children; to preserve the sacred interests of the family home; to bring forward the Kingdom of God among mankind by the salvation of children; for the making and enforcement of salutary laws affecting motherhood and childhood; for the diffusion of that love and interest in our neighbor's child that we feel for our own. The great civic idea that is expected to be commuted is the diminution of criminality among members of our race; to increase the number of useful citizens and to bridge the chasm between the helpless child and the childless home. The work is to be carried on at present by voluntary pledges of one dollar per annum by our own people and by whatever outside assistance is available. The board of advisors is as follows: Hon. Chas. A. Wilson, president; Senator W. O. Bradley, Col. Bennett H Young, Attorney Benj. F. Washer, Hon. Arthur Peter, Mr. Hugo Krause, Mr. A. T. McDonald, Mr. F. C. Nunemacher, Mr. G. L. Schon, Attorneys J. M. Chatterson, Bert F. Fink, Enos Spencer, Miss Rebecca G. Averill, Mrs. Amanda Cabell. The board of directors: Rev. C. H. Parrish, president; J. Gaddis, vice president; W. W. Spradling, treasurer; Mrs. Bessie L. Allen, secretary; E. D. Brunson, Mary V. Parrish, T. W. Bradford, Dr. L. G Jordan and D. L. Knight. All communications should be addressed to Rev. C. H. Parrish, at the office, 807 Sixth street. *** The Negroes of this city are awakening to the necessity of more varied business and industrial activities, as is well shown by a movement now far advanced to project a Negro building and loan association. Some of the promoters are men of means, and if they can secure the aid and co-operation of the rank and file of those who earn their living by toil, the project will soon be established on a firm foundation. It will have what very few business propositions among our people can boast, and that is men of legal training and tried ability to protect the interests of the stockholders. It is to be hoped that such a capital can be raised that will enable the society to afford our poor some relief from the sharp tooth of the remorseless loan sharks. These and similar organizations, honestly and faithfully conducted, will make our people come in closer business and financial relations with each other, and promote that race unity and coherence, the lack of which has retarded us in countless ways. Mr. W. H. Wright, attorney at law, has issued this circular letter to the colored citizens of Louisville: We have written to a large number of gentlemen of our city, impressing upon them the idea of branching out into some enterprise; that is, to come together, combine their financial, material and intellectual interest. Do you know that in the city of Louisville there are fifty thousand men, women and children of the Negro race? Do you know that thousands of your own children are in the public schools, preparing themselves for the higher pursuits of life, and yet when they shall have finished their courses of study, prepared themselves for some pursuit in life other than the common laborer, there is not anything for them to do? If you have PRICE FIVE CENTS. not thought of these things, please begin to-day, for the time is now at hand when men are measured by their financial interest, their material worth and their rability to do. I have thought of presenting to you the idea of establishing and organizing a Negro building and loan association; hence I am writing you this letter, and at the same time asking that you do me the honor of favoring me with any suggestion that you may have to offer. I desire to call your attention to the fact that the time nor the opportunities will never be better for some proposition or the one mentioned to be put into execution. Why? Because we can truly see ourselves as never before. We, who like mirth and pleasure, have seen the theater closed in our faces, and for that reason there are now in operation two show houses owned and controlled by colored people. My friend, grasp the idea and write me your thoughts, or call at my office and I will try to place before you my thoughts more fully. I am, yours for the preservation of the Negro race, W. H. WRIGHT. Mr. Howard Boone, well-known ton-sorialist, of Ocinnattn, is in the city having a good time with the boys. He is a native Kentuckian and claims to be a great-grandson of Daniel Boone. Mr. Rochelle I. Smith, one of the leading young business men of the city, interested in church and social affairs, after nearly a score of years in building up his father's business as a mover, packer and shipper, has severed his connection with the firm of Guy W. Smith & Sons and gone out on his own account to meet the blows of destiny. He is in many ways an exemplary young man, and deserves the support and patronage of the public. --- Mr. William Lane, manager of a club at French Lick Springs, was in the city last week to attend the wedding of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth met all his old companions and left highly elated over his new step-father. * * * The celebrated painting and decorating firm of Evans & Furst has the contract to paint the beautiful Houston Theater. * * * Mr. Ocie Williams, of Chicago, is visiting his uncle, Mr. J.

Mr. Hayes Booker, of New York, is the guest of Mrs. Harris, at 722 West Walnut street. Mr. Abe Meaux is expecting to go into business soon. Mr. Ed Munfries, of Chicago, is visiting friends. The Rev. LeoY Ferguson, rector of the Church of Our Merciful Savior, has just returned from Cincinnati, where he has been in attendance upon the Protestant Episcopal Convention of the House of Bishops, and was received with distingished courtesy by the eminent prelates who assembled there. He took a prominent part in the proceedings and shed luster upon the parish which he represented. He was very much impressed with the native Japanese missionary, Rev. J. L. Motoda, of Tokio, who appealed to the American women to come to Japan to show the Japanese women how to live, "for if you save the Japanese women," he said, "you save the children, and if you save the children, you save the whole nation of Japan." Father Ferguson was much delighted over the appropriation of five thousand dollars which will go to St. Augustine's Mission, in North Carolina, to build a school for colored boys. The House of Bishops defeated the amendment for the appointment of Suffragant Bishops, and this was highly pleasing to the delegation of colored clergymen, who contend that the passage of the amendment would prevent the Negro communicants of the church securing representation at the General Conference through missionary bishops of their own race, whom they seek to have appointed. There were many prominent people present and participating, the most notable of whom was J. Pierpont Morgan, whom Father Ferguson has interested in the uplift of the colored race. On Sunday next a special service at the Church of Our Merciful Savior will be held to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his pastorate. The choir will render a special musical service. The Rev. Locust, of the First Baptist Church at Anchorage, and Miss Esther Lillie were quietly married last week at the home of the bride.
