We have many times differed with him on the subject of education and have often been piqued at some of his public utterances, but on the whole he has been a prolific writer of integrity and sincerity of soul and purpose.

He has been a favorable criticism from many noted English and American authors, among whom are Alfred Austin, Israel Zangwill, Madison Cawine, Charles J. O'Malley, A. Jones, editor of the Strand Magazine. Stage News. The Houston Theater, in this city, is conceded to be the best built, the most commodious and best arranged colored play house in the country. The interior of the theater is appalled. The house is most brilliantly lighted at all proper times. The manager has gone to great expense to fit up a modern, late-style play house for the innocent amusee. The theater is a place of the shame and degradation of being boxed up in Jim Crow seats in the white theaters. Mr. Alfred Houston is a real leader of his race, who teaches and teaches independence and is married—cringing and crawling. He came to this city to fill a long felt want and has invested his money to amuse the pear-sauce-loving public and he is happy to see that the theater is a place where his style, spirit and numbers that show they are worthy of the sacrifices that are made for their benefits.

AMERICAN NEGRO PROBLEM Solution of Problem Depends on Parents and Teachers. In my judgment it is due to the conditions that the earlier settlers met the white man found his way to America, he found no hum of factory wheels, you could see no manifestation of an industrial spirit; you could see no permanent business enterprises corporations were unheard of, education was unknown and Christianity was unfeel. You can plainly see that the white man, though met with rude, uncivilized, and unchristianized conditions, was master of the situation to start with, the producer of his system of education, religion and civilization, and the producer of his great commercial, agricultural and corporative system. Therefore it was no problem or question as to how he would use or utilize these resources. Why then is the American Negro a problem? Since what is true of one race, is true of another. It is due to the conditions of the country when the white man gave up and civilization that now confronts him. When the Negro was brought to this country as a slave, unlike the white people, he found that civilization through her civilizing forces had instituted a commercial, agricultural, industrial and cooperative system in America and this system had been used for the comprehension, therefore it became a problem, or rather a question, as to whether or not the Negro would ever be able to either or use these systems to his advantage. The Negro is now a problem that awaits a solution. In solving hard mathematical, problems there are many different factors or methods to solve the problem, and so can be given, if giving this solution sometimes you are applying the method of subtraction, of multiplication, and sometimes the method of division. All of these methods must play a distinct part in the final solution of the problem. So you must use the railroad problem. First a trial by the state legislature, then by the United States court of appeals, and finally the method of the supreme court of the States is the final solution of the question was given. So it is with the solution of the Negro problem. There are many methods to be applied before a final solution of the question was given. The methods that are concerned in the solution of this problem are, war, the education and the institution, Christianity, education and the part of the Negro must play for himself. War with her compelling force has been the bounds saunter. The Negro constitutes her her part by granting the Negro the privilege of enjoying equal rights as a freeman and a citizen regardless of color or previous education have played and are playing their part in teaching the Negro that he has a God to serve and a mind to be developed ere he takes his place among the Negroes. Now is the Negroes' time to play his part. He must play his part through religion, education, co-operative movements, manufacturing establishments, manufacturing establishments, race pride and race patronage. These, my friends, and these only, will constitute the Negroes part in the so- How are these results to be obtained? If the Negro preachers would do their whole duty, they would preach the docu- ment, they would preach the whole men, doctrine that would strengthen and maintain a friendly relation between the white and black races of the South. They would preach the doctrine of the Negro preachers, and if the Negro race and try to instill in the minds of the layyet these principles that mean so much to us as a race. If the Negro teachers would teach such doctrines in the class rooms and on their play grounds, and if the Negro teachers would teach such doctrines in the minds of their children as they play about Mother's knee, less prejudice would exist in the South and a more peaceful and friendly environment. They would preach the white and black races of the South and are long hatred because of color would vanish and this old Southland would become the home of peace, the place of habituation for the kingdom of God. If such doctrines were preached and taught by our Negro preachers, teachers of more banking institutions, more farms operated, more manufacturing establishments, more business colleges and cooperative movements owned and controlled by our banking institutions, we would have control over a much larger amount of money to invest and derive profits that would be used to more of our boys and girls banking positions which would demand for them respect from the other races. If we had more farms we could employ more of our strong and vigorous young men and women who are loafing the streets of our towns and cities trying to find employment. If we had more manufacturing establishments we could train more young men to become manufacturers and would derive much wealth from the sale of the products we would tend to strengthen the race financially. If we had more business college swe could train more young men and women be prepared for business when they get If we had more co-operative movements owned and controlled by Negroes for mutual good. Some writer has said that "In union there is strength" and in strength there are forces to keep bacq evils and compel things to move. It is to unify that I contribute the success of the movement to unity that we must look for success. God grant that the day may come when my people will realize more fully the saving and resisting power that there is in unity. If we were bones of mine could be beaten into iron rods with which my people could be united, I would willingly give them up. If we could that now runs warm in my veins could be made into a cement with which my people could be united I would gladly give it up and then when I could look back and behold them for the last time my advice to them be Unite. Unite, and prove to the world that you are equal to any race. "Kinky locks and dark complexion cannot alter nature's claim Skins may differ, but affection "dwells in white and black the same."

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT IS SPREADING Standing Up for Men in Tennessee The Colored Voters Are Getting Wise. The following resolutions were adopted recently by the Independent Colored Republican Party of Tennessee, headquartered Nashville: We, the representatives of the Colored Independent Republicans of Tennessee, in committee assembled, deem it just and proper to exist condemning affliction and oppression. We represent Democratic parties in the state of Tennessee, to declare our independence and support and vote for men and measures which we conceive to be necessary for the exercise of regardless of political party affiliation. We do not seek by this movement political preferment of office, nor social equality, and lawful right to demand equality before the law, protection of life, property, and the pursuit of happiness, as guarantor of the rights of all States. We unequivocably condemn the action of leaders of the Republican party of Tennessee for their treatment of the World Republican voters, and the White House, and loyal and long suffering colored voter from the party in order, as they hope, to win disgruntled Democrats, the Republican anks, and the Tennessee Republican state. Such nefarious schemes, ingratitude and injustice are unworthy of the fundamentals of the party of Abraham Lincoln Love Joy, Garrison, Wilson and Summer. We believe the time has come to repudiate certain carpet baggers and booled leaders of the Republican party by acclimatizing them to the Democratic Democrats for the Negro, to do this would be illogical, and neither would it be desirable for either the Negro or the Democratic Party to just of the so-called Negro problem at the South, by the Southern white man and the Southern Negro, the Negro is not the South's Poor Party, will between the races should be encouraged. While we are citizens and tax-payers of the state, we do not administer the state, nor do we believe that the administration of the same should be economical, humane and enlightening. We favor the building of state reformations for youthful criminals without further delay before enforcement. Resolved, That we, in committee assembled, under the name of the Independent Colored Republican Party, hereby endorse the nomination of the Hon. Robert L. Taylor for Governor and J. W. Thomas for railroad commissioner, and that we pledge them our unqualified support and votes on November 8, 1910. Resolved, That we call upon all Independent Republicans to give support to the legislative tickets in the respective states that are in harmow with this money. It is simply the thing of using the suffrage which respect we are not different to others, who use the suffrage for ends which means generally the promotion of citizen- DINES WITH THE KING. Booker T. Washington in Denmark- Significant Comment on the Event. Special to THE FERMAN Denmark proper has no color question and hence the fact that the King and Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted Negro educator, dined at the palace with the royal family did not cause the comment that Washington did not by Dr. Washington by former President Roosevelt did in America. Nevertheless there are some who are acquainted with conditions in the Danish West Indies who are quietly suggesting that the King's indies are colonies, where there is the same color question which exists wherever the white and colored races are brought into contact. The color question is not so acute perhaps in the Danish West Indies as it often points, but it is there, nevertheless. JACKSONVILLE. ILL.

Mr. Bryan's speech was a beauty. The well-known orator was in excellent voice and in felicitous mood. Senator Beveridge is working hard to maintain his own. He is working everything he knows, including "Mary in the Vine Clad Cottage." We don't fail to give it to President Taft. He's working overtime. Don't be disturbed, however, about national affairs. We live right here, not in Washington. Everything else being equal vote for those who are your known friends. It used to be considered a political virtue to work every day in the year for a man, take his money, then on election day declare to support some other man one knew nothing about. Talking about the possibility of disfranchising the Negro in this state. Nothing impossible, but a most excellent way to head off such a thing is to make terms with men who might do it. Disarm your enemy with love; it's better than force-lasts longer. Good men on the Republican ticket, good men on the Democratic ticket, Select them and vote for them. Bear in mind that the race question is not a party question. Make friends of members of either party. These will think a long time before voting against your interest. Don't be hobbled as it concerns your voting. Clothing and food are to be taken into considerationoto ETAOIN taken into account. Parties don't furnish these, individuals do. We don't ask after a man's politics when seeking work; we ask for a job. One man is as likely to give it to you as another. All must concede that President Taft is doing well by the Negroes by way of appointment to office. The selection of Napier and Pinchback for important offices has met with general approval. Now comes the information that W. H. Lewis, present Assistant District Attorney at Boston, is to be made an Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. This office will be the highest ever tendered a colored man by a President of the United States. Mr. Lewis has made can acceptable official in his state. His scholastic ability and experience in his line of duty assures him fit for the high post that will be assigned him. The Free man congratulates Mr. Lewis on his selection, feeling that it is but one of the many that rejoices in knowing that such distinguished consideration has been paid one of the race. THE A. B. C. OF IT. Not many more days before the voters will have a chance to tell who they want to fill the offices, the public offices of county and state. We have said time and time again that the colored man should get into all of the parties as a thing of intelligent political conduct. These various parties stand for various ideas, men take to various ideas just as they select their clothes and food and where they show that their tastes and notions are not one. If 7,000 colored men always saw just alike on all questions it is not likely that they would long remain as acceptable citizens. The influences that change white men should not fall when they come to colored men. We've also said that the race is facing a new condition the future of which it knows nothing, but it is its business to help shape the future to their best interest. We may not longer rely on parties for protecting the colored people in their rights, but men regardless of parties are to be won, and held, so when the serious times come there will be those of all parties who will stand up for the colored man. Men will not be found so ready to stand up for the colored people if these same men are fought to a standstill always by the colored voters. And in voting for the one party, the Republican party, the colored man has found that his presence in such numbers has hurt that party, if one is to believe by recent utterances. Vote for those who vote for you. They vote for you when they decide to employ you. Democrats do this, as the Republicans do. JACK JOHNSON BEATEN BY BAR: NEY OLDFIELD. Jack Johnson just had to keep on monkeying until he got what he wasn't looking for. Now he has been beaten in his automobile race by the well-known Barney Oldfield, whose class he had no right to expect that he was in. He took on over the fact that Sam Langford wasn't in his class as a prize- fighter; yet he must go out and engage the best in a business of which he knew nothing, actually hounding the man until he had to turn on his heels and deliver him one. The Freeman tried to argue with Mr. Jack, fairly prayed to him, virtually saying, please don't make a fool of yourself, O, please don't Mr. Jack. You don't know a thing about this new game. And in the language of that delightful Homer, "Let others in the field their arms employ, but stay my Hector, here and guard this Troy." But Troy be — well be hanged. "Tse got more'n one talent and I se not go'n" to put 'em undah no bushel either, and he didn't. But perhaps it would have been better, this particular one at any rate. Oldfield played with Johnson, just as a cat plays with a mouse, and at the proper moment simply consumed him. It is to be hoped he is cured of his strange fever and for all time. He ought to have known that he stood no show whatever. The automobile, as to construction, is a thing of science. Experience and experiment have succeeded in fixing the finest theories and principles and which are not yet given out ad lib. To a novice like Johnson an experienced man with one of his own contrived machines can beat him just as regular as the clock ticks if he cares to. And to think Johnson sought to beat Oldfield at his own game. Well, Barney put him out and nobody is sorry. We are all chagrinned, however, of course, to think Johnson insisted on this display. We hope he is cured, and that he stays cured. W. J. BRYAN IN INDIANAPOLIS. The coming of Mr. Bryan last week was the signal for the gathering of the clans. Mr. Bryan spoke from the platform erected for Mr. Roosevelt. The scene was fairly enacted over again. The crowd in kind with its thousands reaching high up the steps of our greatest of monuments. The enthusiasm if anything was greater, because Mr. Bryan is a more acceptable type of a speaker. In fact very few men in the world are in his class. Not so fine and finished as Mr. Parker, not so tedious as Mr. Roosevelt, not so irksome as Senator Beveridge, when not on his high horse. Mr. Bryan proved the greatest attraction of the season. One is reminded of the great speakers of the past when oratory was a more prized possession than it is today when he speaks, appearing as the final court for the adjudication of earthly affairs. Earnest, sincerity together with the most skilled manipulation of words and sentences and logic for the moment settle all questions beyond doubt. Mr. Bryan had everything in his favor. Mr. Roosevelt had just preceded him a few days before, his "ancient enemy." He insisted that Mr. Roosevelt had stolen his thunder, and made it plain that as a thing of principle that he was more interested in the institution of principles he had set forth from time to time than he was in setting them in motion himself. Here was the beautiful theory of abnegation that was noted all through his speech in effect making it ring true. According to the audience, Mr. Bryan made short work of Mr. Roosevelt's pretensions as the chief political scavenger of the day. He insisted that nothing new in the way of great reforms had been advanced by the former president but what had long since been advocated by the Democratic party. All along, Mr. Bryan illustrated his propositions with humorous sayings that were happy in their effects. Mr. Bryan helped the Democracy of Indiana. VOTE RIGHT. The colored voters of Marion county will please bear in mind that partisan politics does not help their cause very much. Not only in Marion county, but in the whole state, and throughout the Union where colored people live in considerable numbers the condition is about the same. In the past we've sought to trace all of the civil ills and political ills to one cause; that cause was the Democrat party as thought. And to be fair in the matter that party in the most part was responsible for the wrongs in the past. It is different today, when we find that the question of race has grown so greatly that it exceeds party lines. No party cares for the Negro vote as a whole, for with this condition comes that of responsibility, having in mind redress, relief and so forth, the objects of the ballot as with other men. According to the times redress and relief, the kind we expect and which is special, will not come through political organizations. Political organizations are made up of units, these are the individuals; as they think and act, these individuals, so will the whole think and act. The units may be more or less influenced by superior minds who help them to come to conclusions, but at no time is there much doubt about the notions of the individuals. It is plain that if the Negroes expect more and more consideration instead of less and less, that they must be busy, doing missionary work. This will not be confined to one class of men, since the protection by a class only proves a menace to the class but to the protected. The Republican party is today confronted with just such a condition. If it were to the good of the health of that party there would not be that exceedingly discriminating care in the selection of Negro office, and particularly as it pertains to certain sections. The Negro voters know the conditions, yet they haven't had the nerve to make a move that counted for very much. Some of the farsighted have looked beyond the present day, seeing the hopelessness and folly of clinging to a party with the expectation of that party doing battle for them in the time of need. They have seen that the salvation here, as in religion, is an individual thing. The friends of the race are to be made whenever and wherever it is possible to do so. Parties as such have become valueless as vehicles to carry Negroes into favor. Individuals must be won, regardless of party tags or labels, since we know so well that tags and labels cannot do the work. Really, it is up to the Negroes above any other race to cut loose from the ancient moorings. No other race in America finds itself the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. object of party suspicion and distrust. This suspicion and distrust is entertained when the race as a whole, when the Negro voters as a whole, think their home is in a particular party. TAFT PICKS NEGRO FOR HIGH GOVERNMENT OFFICE Will Make W. H. Lewis Assistant Attorney-General. NOW ASSISTANT AT BOSTON. WASHINGTON—President Taft, it has been announced, has decided to appoint a colored man to the highest office in an executive branch of the government ever held by a member of that race. William H. Lewis, at present an assistant district attorney at Boston, is to be made an attorney-general of the United States. Lewis is a graduate of Amherst and Harvard and was a crack athlete when he was in college. He is regarded as a leader among members of his race in the New England states. The President will also appoint Charles A. Cotterell, of Toledo, collector of customs in Hawaii. Cotterell has been more or less prominent in politics in Mr. Taft's state for some time. The appointment of Lewis has been agreed upon by the President and Attorney-General Wickersham. Just what duties will be assigned to the new assistant when he takes office has not been decided. The appointment is in line with President Taft's policy of recognizing Negroes in the government service, but taking these appointments as far as possible out of the southern states, where friction has been caused in the past by Negro federal officeholders. Lewis served one year in the lower branch of the Massachusetts legislature. Lewis was appointed an assistant United States district attorney in 1903, and has been connected with that office ever since. IN MEMORIAM. LATE JNO, W. STRAUTHER, K. P. Owing to the death of Sir Jno.

BOB MARSHALL. ATHLETE. Big Bob Marshall, the famous colored athlete, ran down from Minneapolis last Saturday to Indianapolis, as a scout for the University of Minnesota to witness the football game between the teams of Indiana and Wisconsin. Marshall was favorably impressed with the work of the Indiana team, which won over the Wisconsin team by a score of 12 to 3. He thinks the Wisconsin team a very worthy rival. Marshall has won quite a distinction, both in baseball and football. He is now assistant coach for the University of Minnesota, in which institution he gained seven M's reward for four years' baseball and football. He is of the well-known Gophers baseball team of Minneapolis, one of the foremost teams in the country. In his summary of the Indiana football team he said Indiana is fast and shifty with a splendid defense. The men know football and are in good condition.

Bert Williams. Williams is an artist, shining his own recitative songs, dancing his own eccentric dances—a humorful nature refinement. He is aicular to our race, redhining it with his native art, and sending it out across the footlights to move his spectators into laughter and applause he not to say unique, personality, and, what counts the most, he is original. If there is anything to be said adversely about Bert Williams, he must be to the effect that there is not enough by thirty minutes of Williams." XYLOPHONE CONTEST AT MOUNDSVILLE, W. VA J. W. Toomey writes of an unusual happening when playing in Moundsville, W. Va. October 22. The three theatrical companies, the Princess, had musical acts where the xylophone was used. It occurred to Manager Callahan, of the Fairyland, that a xylophone company would be given to the managers and agreed. The managers got together and raised a purse of $50. Mr. Toomey's manager put up $50, the other two managers put up the balance. The contest was pulled off at the Fairyland after the regular Four judges were selected. Each of the players played three numbers. The judges selected the "Spring Song" to be played by the players, the "Laughing Water," "Stars and Stripes," and the judges selection, "The Spring Song." The Musical Atwood's pieces were "Star-spangled Banner," "Wilson and Snow," and the judges selection, Wilson and Snow's selections were "Auld Lang Syne," "Gee, I Wish I Had a Girl Like You," and the judges' selection. Atwood played by the request of the judges the request is it, because the judges were undecided, and Toomey played "Stars and Stripes," also by request. Toomey finished with an allegrette movement which brought him to the attention of the given Mr. Toomey. The purse was presented with a neat little speech, to which he responded.

THE GRAND CENTRAL THEATRE DALLAS, TEX. We are still playing to S. R. O. nightly. Mrs. Ethel (Tet) Chappelle is leaving the house in a scream with her catchy songs and dances. Mr. Walter Williams THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER (King Dodo) is still everybody's favorite, and never fails to please the audience. Mrs. Brutton, our prima donna, is what you can truthfully call a queen of music, but not of the Black Pattail of Texas. Mr. Will Harper, our young singing and talking comedian, has simply got the house going his way with songs of his own composition. Texas nightingale, is cleaning up with "Oh! Oh! Miss Mandy," taking three and four encores nightly. Mr. Clarence Bentley, our musician, is singing "The Barber Shop Chord," and we must say there is a bright future for him should he continue. Mr. and Mrs. Wallburg, sketch artists, are certainly not the only musicians to tell you is, they can sure deliver them. Mrs. Wallburg costumes surpass any we have ever seen on this tour, and the orchestra, our musical director, is certainly a pianist from her heart, and her orchestra is creating a great sensation in rendering their latest selections. The orchestra is not the only musical director, Fred Cooper, cornet, Mr. Wallburg, trombone; Mr. Jesse Akins, drummer. The company is tickled to death over the new music he has purchased. Mr. H. R. Dixon, the Southern producer, has just closed an engagement with Sells-Floot Show, and is back in the stage, and is some producer, believe me. John H.

Washington St. AT THE CHICAGO THEATERS Good Bills at Houses on the Stroll-Big Audiences. BY CARY B. LEWIS. The Pekin. Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, October 27.—"Consul the Great," the man monkey, held the bill at the Pekin this week, and this human wonder was again the cause of all the seats being taken at the two performances he had been at the Pekin before, and he aroused the curiosity of a large number of colored people. Many were there who saw him before and others who missed the event. Consul did the usual stunts, and they are numerous. In many instances he does everything a small boy could do, save talk, and he makes game attempts to children. It is hard to children and to a great many grown-ups, how he skips and dances, rides bicycles, eats, smokes and has his attendant wait upon him the same as a person, who had an automobile ride on Monday, and he seemed to enjoy it to his heart's content. The bill is one of the biggest in the city, and three other numbers were on the program, and the whole bill was a novelty. The Grand. Claybourne Jones, one of the young men on the "stroll" who is pushing him on the "stroll" to the public the same old thing, was on Grand on Monday night. Jones is a clever comedian and he sang the "Teasing Rag." "Jama Man" and "Hard to be a King, at the king, is far above the average at the king," Grand, and the large audience appreciated every line of his work; which goes to show that if the rest of the low comedians get out of the rut, they would take as well. Jones is a notable exception to this case. Mr. James Douglass, the baritone singer in the reception, and featured Dave Peyton's latest ballad, "The Rose and the Violet" and "No One Town." The Hendersones were hold up by the black-face, singing successfully "Lone in Dixie," "Stop that Rag," "Stop Scorching that Ham," and "Are You On," Hayden and Vaughn, two comedians, whose appearance on the stroll. They sang "Good Luck, Mary," "Stop, Stop, Stop," and "Glad to Be a Soldier Man." The Russells opened the bill with "Cotton from U. S. A." and "Little Kangaroo." The Monogram. Shelton Brooks, Chicago's favorite comedian, and one of the funniest young men in the business, was, as usual, rebellious. Brooks has a mortgage on applause along the "stroll," for wherever he appears he gets the hand. He tells some of his friends that he tells them that elicits the applause. He sings a parody of "Casey Jones," and he does it so cleverly that in the end he is able to sing "Band." The Clarks, who have come from the West and have "made good" in Chicago, was another good team, singing "Band," and he is the best of them. Mr. Clark shows his ability as a musician by playing very artistically on the cornet. Clark, Hicks and Clark are back again in the big situation at the Webb are on the bill, which completes the evening's entertainment. More deserving acts are desired for the many thin dimes that go to this house. Time will Notes. Prices will go up when the real stock company struts forth. Harrison Stewart and Matt Marshall will be here next month. Billy English and wife, "Queen Dora," arrived in the city Monday. Bob Scott, of Louisville, Ky., has taken charge of the band at the Reno. Miss Esmeralda Strathar, of New York City, is entertaining at Motts' Inn. Madame Anita Wilkes will be in Louisville, at the Lyre, during Thanksgiving week. Deas, Reed and Deas are in the city this week. They will go on big time at an early date. An order went through the publishers here for another 100,000 copies of "Some of These Days." Madame Rosa Lee Tyler and Mrs. Ivy Hubbard will be at the Houston, Louisville, week after next. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown are in the city. They are doing Western vaudeville and Morris time. Harry Crosby, better known as "Squirrel," a well known theatrical man, is in the city for a short stay. Mr. Pearl Poppin, the well known trombone player, is in the city on account of the illness of one of his relatives. Some more news rats are expected to go on in the stock company at the Pekin Theater. Let us have some that can learn their lines. Miss Esmerelda Latham, of New York City is the singer at Mott's Inn. Later she will be a chorus girl in the Pekin Stock Company. Cliff Green and Lukie Johnson have joined hands and will be seen next week at the Wilson Theater. They will later go on Doyle time. Tom Brown recited the "Drunkard's Dream" at the Pekin Monday night during which he portrayed the characters of several nationalities. Shitton Brooks has composed the following songs: "You Aint Talking to Me." "Some of These Days," You Go In and I'll Stay Out," Coming soon, "Cozy Rag" and "Mamies Coffee Colored Babe" are in the publisher's hands. "Original Rage," took the part of the policeman in the "Census Taker." He did not mum a word, but look the part of a big officer of the law. --- Mr. Sam Stewart, musician at the Pekin, has gone to his home at Columbus, O., on a visit. During his stay he will be given a reception. Miss Marie Burton has received quite a lot of time to appear in vaudeville at a salary of $50 per week, which she will begin at an early date. The Garlands, of the Richards and Pringle's Minstrels, are in the city. They have been with the company since May. Mrs. Garland is in vaudeville. Billy Caldwell, theomedian, is laying off for a few weeks to rest. Later he expects to go East to work alone. He was formerly with the team of Caldwell and Thomas. Madam Dempsey arrived in the city this week. She is much pleased with the manner in which colored managers have received her. Her work is taking big wherever she plays. Mr. M. Ikle was on the program at the Pekin Monday night and played a violin selection. He held the bow between his knees, and then played with the fiddle on top of his head. It was a novelty. "Good Note," Beloved," was the cornet solo selection. --- Already we see it peeping that troubles between the manager and the actors are going to begin along the stroll. It would be a good policy for the actors to do his very best for them, for in doing so the actor, he does it for himself. Mr. Smith, of the Grand, is lying close to workmen at his trainer. It looks as though they are seeing time pass on and so little work done. Some say he will have stock and others vaudeville. The best way is to wait and see. The competition will be a clever stock company versus a new theater. . . . The Harper-Smith Trio, who were at the American Music Hall last week for a few days, and walked out because of being placed up on the bill, went back the latter part of the week, due to a compromise with the band. And they were sixth on the bill. They have an excellent act, and, to use the theatrical parlour, "went big." --- Miss Marguerite Ward, who made quite a hit in the "Show Folks," that appeared in the Pekin a week ago, included in the book works with Thomas and an envade vaudeville. The two appear this week at the Apollo, and expect a good deal of work on Doyle time. Miss Ward explains that she would better herself by going into vaudeville. Black face and mere dancing is about having its last innings on State street, and it looks like to loiter for a while more than smutty jokes and wiggle of the body. It would be well for those of ordinary capacity to learn some new stuff, and not do the same. It is getting sore on this kind of work. Box office receipts will show it later. Walker Thompson and Joe Simms write that they are having great success at the Globe Theater, Jacksonville, and not do the same. Its east carriage Hall Joe Simms Walker Thompson, Tom Lockheart, Bessie Brady, Lena Mitchell, Amda Campbell, Lda Lockheart, Tim Oswalt, Evelette Jackson, Tim Oswalt, Oswalt, the latter is stage director and producer.

Intoxication Increases Liquor Sales Greater State Loses Revenue Statistics 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 anyone at the State House, show the following number of arrests for intoxication in 1908 and 1909 in these cities: Cities. "Wet" 1908. "Dry" 1909 Alexandria 23 23 Angola 19 24 Attica 20 43 Bedford 323 319 Bloomington 128 166 Butler 4 11 Connersville 15 47 Covington 44 52 Crawfordsville 79 81 Decatur 9 14 Elkhart 318 329 Huntington 53 89 Kokomo 216 244 Loogootee 13 27 Marion 290 291 Muncie 280 406 Peru 55 63 Seymour 69 66 Union City 54 51 Warsaw 32 32 Washington 96 101 Totals 2,140 2,479 Thus it will be seen that there were 399 more arrests in these so-called "dry" cities in "dry" 1909 than in "wet" 1908. This was an increase of over 15 per cent. The decrease in revenue from liquor licenses in 1909, as compared with 1908 amounted to $261,455.06, according to The Indianapolis Star. The Star also states that 556 saloons closed in 1909 as a result of the passage of the county option law. The United States Internal Revenue Bureau at Indianapolis recently published statistics showing that the consumption of liquor for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1910, has increased over the preceding year. These figures are on file in the State House and the United States Internal Revenue Bureau at the Court House at Indianapolis. They show conclusively these things: Since the passage of the county option law intoxication has increased in Indiana. Since the passage of the county local option law revenues have decreased. And since the passage of this law more intoxicating liquor has been sold in this state. Write or Wire To-day, Globe Theatre, Norfolk, Va. Singles, teams, etc., for stock and vaudeville.

Thunk, in issue of September 24. Mr. E. Thunk, who hever is, and I think I have wanted to say that I am very busy with my act, the Arantes, Billy and Grace, which I have been very busy with for nearly three years in Europe, over the largest tours on the Continent, and only sickness prevented me, on my return to America a few months ago, playing the time a colored act can play in America. Being of Southern birth, like many of our profession, I was desirous of showing my act to my native friends, and when I met them I looked forward to something different than trying to steal little acts and shows from the would-be Southern producers, who speak of a performer and are ashamed to sign their names to articles. The reason is that in Southern opinion, is the cleverest bunch playing Southern time, and the best producers playing the same time, who are Bob Russell and Marion Brooks, of the Russell-Owens-Brooks Stock Company. The combination that will soon begin preparations on a big act to be headed by Bob Russell, Billy Owens and the Arntes, with thirty people, Marion Brooks as manager. Then I would go on again, worry about Billy Arntes putting on your acts. The Russell-Owens-Brooks Stock Company joins me in deepest sympathy for our dear friend, James Grundy, who for our Russell especially wishes to extend bursary grants to Mrs. Grundy. All we wish him speedy recovery. NORFOLK, VA., SHOW TALK. Norfolk is all astir theatrically.

JACKSONVILLE Laugh and grow fat, is what I read on'a hand bill that was being distributed among the passersby who happened to be there. The Global to the Globe, so So as I wanted to grow fat, I wanted to MARIA MAYORA laugh, and this is what I saw: First a good motion picture, second a farce on the program read by Joe Simms and Tim McCormack, tell the story of the began. The act bore the title of "A Day Before the Show." This act gave us an idea of how show folks do before appearance. Joe Simms as Jack Doneeson brought down the house.

The bill closed with the Globe Stock Company in Tim Owsley's new show, a long-time family show. The show was a long-time, I wonder where I'm him. It was all to write such funny shows. They are all entertaining, as well as amusing. "The New Doctor" was one big laugh. Everybody was played as a want of a laugh. "I'm a good man," the Walker Thompson was. Dan Wise, made an elegant straight man. He sang a song written by S. Tutt Whitney, "O. Miss White, I'm a man, I'm an entire company in the Apache. Dance.

GLOBE THEATER, JACKSONVILLE FLA. The Globe patrons were offered another big show for their approval. Judging the applause each event received, the show opened with the Globe Stock Company, in S.

Tom seemed well ROSA LE While the race can boost of its great educators, professional and business men, prize fighters and comedians, it can also shape of its great singers. Madame Sissierer Jones (Dinki Patti) Saleka, the Hyer Sisters, and others are still fresh in the memory of those that appreciate artistic musical talent. They live in Chicago and is classed among the prominent singers is Madame Rosa Lee Tyler. Madam Tyler is a vocal actress and rather stale herself. In herself she possessed a natural sweet voice. This voice was trained and cultivated. She studied German, Spanish and Italian. This enabled her to go deep into the souls of the great music teachers to those that had contributed much to the musical world. She studied and practiced. She wanted to be a success. Madam Tyler first came to the stage eight years ago as a society singer. She also attracted the attention of such celebrities as William and Walker. She signed and took her place in the first soprano section of the Williams and Sissierer Jones show. Here her rise began as a singer. It was "nl Dehomy" that she made the hit of her life and caused people from all sections of the country to be captivated by her charm and melodious voice. It was a big company and there were others that nature had endowed with sweet voices, but it was Madam Tyler that held up the reputation of that show for grand singing and trained voices. She finished the season and was offered an engagement to go to Europe with a company, but the decided, pre-commissioned show in this country be with her mother. She later took up concert work in Chicago, and was finally induced by Mr. Robert T. Motts to take lead in the original Pekin Stock Company. Her engagements at the Pekin brought out her dramatic talents, playing with great success the role of Queen of the Jungle, and critics say that she was a decided hit. It was in these days when the Pekin was "packed" and the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. not only of merit, but of behavior, and, looking over the books, I found perfect after my name.

Sadie Owsley, as a faceted Miss, did credit to her part. Evette Simpson, as a fabricating youth, was clever; in fact, Miss Simpson, as an impersonator of a male character, is real Miss, as was good as one could expect. Carrie May Hall, as a forward pupil, played her part as Carrie always does. Jim Owsley, as the Educator, did what Miss, as was good as one could expect you laugh. Simms and Thompson, a clever pair of singers and talkers, caught the house from the go. This team brought us something new in every rehearsal, and the Miss, as Brady, a sister team, were as pleasing as last week, giving us new songs and dances. Maude Campbell, the soubrette, who songs, was ailing from an attack of hoarseness under the circumstances in fact, was a busy acrobat as well as a singer. The Lock-hearts pleased the audience again.

In a conversation the other day Mr. Crowd said, "With the dollars at my hand, I am at my left as amusement director, there can be nothing but success for the Globe." THE COLORED VAUDEVILLE PERFORMER. To the Editor of THE FREEMAN: It hasn't been so long since it was defending the colored vaudeville performer. In fact, I wrote and you printed two articles of mine on the subject. I said they were in demand. So they were after the time of articles. "But not." It's about all over with them, for several different reasons. They have not gone back, but vaudeville has gone forward. The same thing that happened to colored quarters was how it happened to the acts. They do not improve. Again, they forget the fact that they are colored and living in a white man's country and work in a white man's man, the theater, and the white manager has got to do something. But it was not find out who among the colored performers are ladies and gentlemen. If a few are bad and fighters, why, they must all be, and the white manager acts accordably. They have not got to work for a day why they know last season their act was a big hit—in fact, a riot—but they forget that they had four rights in the years of their season. That is the young white girl of the bill was sociably and that's all she meant to be—"socialie. But you didn't understand it that way. I have been noticing these things, quite as while and now, unless something is done and so they are in vaudeville, and there are few colored acts in vaudeville, and there are few now. Of course, they will always be the standard acts playing their role in a man's life. It is the best of the way they are going now in the half of the acts will be playing in the South before another year. There are lots of acts that see how things are and are daily changing their nationality. Seven years ago I put Indian after my name, and it has been a savior to me. Then, again, "I can't fight." Last week a big vaudeville agent told me of the present conditions, and told me to take a few things around the theater, even if I was not a fan. He told me to hit anybody. He also said that a record was kept in all the offices of acts. sign of "standing room only" was hung out. In the stock company were such well-known actors as the late J. Ed Green, Harrison Stewart, Miss Lottie Grady, Jerry Mills, Miss Sadie McCarver, Lawrence Chenault, Miss Pearl Brown, Chas.unning chorus of twenty excellent women. By this time her ability as a singer had reached the ears of vaudeville managers and they induced patrons to up that line of work with greater financial results. She joined hands with Miss Ethel James in a Spanish arc and they went "big" all over the country. Guss Hill, a successful manager of colored companies engaged her to take the leading role in the "Smart Set." success. When her contract expired, Shelton Brooks and six others grouped with Madam Tyler, she being the star, and this added popularity to her work in There is a demand for her services now as a single feature and she has played many of the leading vaudeville houses in nearly every city in the United States, including living in Boston about Madam Tyler. is her ability to please audiences of various nationalities. She sing selections from German composers delightfully and the next week can envelop them in a new idea to run the gamet of Spanish numbers; doing them all with expression, temperament and ability. Shortly she will present a new idea to Madam Tyler, Misty Hubbard, and the act is being looked forward to be one of the neatest and cleverest turns seen in vaudeville. Madam Tyler is a great believer in swell costume and is used will be attractive and stunning. While the patrons of theaters are singing her praises for her beautiful singing, her near and dear friends are growing up and her motion and coilent attention given her to who lives with the Madam at Fifty-second and Wabash avenue. Madam Tyler's voice is still sweet, rich and musical, and her well wishers have every moment in their lives having melodies for many years to come.

Ball--15th In the Field of Sport. AN ENGLISHMAN MAYBE. Will Meet Jack Johnson—Bombadier Wells One of the Hopes among those in the minds of the sporting traternity to contend with Champion Jack Johnson for his rare distinction is Champion Bomadier Wells. He was also weighted. Some Bomadier has been mentioned before. Immediately after he was held to be among the very few to be mentioned in the same breath with Bomadier. Not since it was Sharkey who said it out that he was yet good for a training and that he had been in a constant trunning thus losing the ability that cooling makes men like individuals so stale for the rehash. Men are not different from potatoes, it appears, and also coffee, and other foods when come cooked. When these grow cold all the fires of the lower regions can not restore that first taste. Gone, gone, not irrevocably gone, is the harsh law, nor irrevocably gone, or potions, call back the can injections, if they are to maintain, the first estate. If they are to maintain, like the atrocities of some early races, as a part of their religion, by custom, tradition, and ceremony, the fires must ever burn, and it may be that those ancients had this very thing in mind, or some phase of it, knowing that in the burning and suspension life and death were tokened. At and at the rate, done-over potatoes and done-over coffee haven't got any close-up place in the affections of men. The reac- son is plain—they just can't come back. Done-over men don't seem to be any exception to the rule. Sharkey uttered his deft, but the sporting world won't take him seriously. Better let the trophy hang where it is than make a botch of dangling, it, think the thoughtful ones, recovering it, to see it doubly gone if "old" who think to see a crack at it. But this Bombardier Wells that the English have trotted out may be the stuff. The chances are, however, that he is in the midst of a new British are, and in keeping with the murky weather. He, however, of the formidable ones, stads well, with his sporting countrymen. And by the way, the English people know of some sport. Here he is, of En-ge land, but, as in most names, she has been distanced by her oldest offspring. So when Mr. Wells concludes to face our Mr. Johnson, he may well tremble, for one thing, that it is Mr. Johnson. Wells had the distinction of knocking out a henryyeight rival last week in round. He did the work in the tenth round. The fact has caused his stock to go up. The fact that it may he Johnson will be called on to defend himself at no distant day. . . . Concerning the slaviness of Ketelbel by Walter W. Springfield, Mo.: A tundra of $1,300, to be used in the defense of Walter A. Dipley, who is in jail at Mansfield Mo., charged with the murder of Stuart Ketchel, the defendant, according to a message received here yesterday. An unkempt letter from New York said the writer would be able to furnish some important information about the murder. The letter stated that D. P. Dickerson, to whom the letter was addressed, would remember him. Dickerson believes Ketchel was the victim of a plot to murder him. Dickerson states that Ketchel had enmeshed in New York. Pierce the colored featherweight from Philadelphia, who has a reputation at home and abroad as a boxer, was accused of stalling in an eight-round bout with Darkey Griffin, at Memphis, Tennessee. October 4. The decision was awarded Pierce. He boxed in England Jack Dillon is a good name to remember. Dillon hopes to prove the rightful heir to the mantle of Stanley Ketheel. Jack hails from Indianapolis, a pretty good thing to begin with. Considering cities as horses, Indianapolis would be way up in the thoroughbred class, sending out so many Dillons, just as Sterling Holt sends out his Dillons. A few days ago Jack went East, where he appeared before the National Club, at Pittsburg. The report of the battle, in part, is as follows: “In the third round the bell saved Chip, as Dillon hammered him all over the ring and had him hanging on most of the time. Dillon tried several times for a knock-out in this round, but could not land and the round, which promised to send Chip back to the forge for keep-ended in a clinch in the blacksmith's corner. The opening of the fourth round is found to be Dillon, whose wind did not seem to be of the best, had overplayed himself in the third, and he lacked the steam to do much more damage to the lucky blacksmith, whom he seemed able to hit almost at will, but he had not the steam behind the blows.” The fifth round was somewhat the same. Chip taking a world of punishment, but he was not in any apparent position, and he was with each man trying for a knockout and on several occasions Dillon landed shows which had he had his first time slapping him, but brightened the money. But he could not put his man down. Chip, however, was taking no chances, and hugged every time he got a chance to give him a slight given in Pennsylvania, it was the silent verdict of the newspaper men who witnessed the bout that Dillon had far the . . . Jack Dillon's success at Pittsburgh considerably spurred up his hopes of succeeding. Ketchel. His manager, Emmy Woolf, the former Dillon world bearer in his class, has uttered the following challenge: "The challenge of Champion Ketchel there has been considerable talk as to who should be regarded as the champion middleweight of the world.

MAJORS, OF CHICAGO, WRITES ON WHAT JOHNSON OWES THE RACE. The subject of this short article, as an individual, is indeed worthy of serious thought by every Negro in the world. As a mere man, he is an incipient of the civilized world, and he is lightly as merely an accident. As a person or individual no Negro in the civilized world has ever before become so generally known for having done so, he is not to be weighed in the scale by the side of the work done by hundreds of able Negroes, when it is to be regarded as promoting the good of the world. The skills which help him to shine in the regard of serious minded persons. The mere knocking out of the "white man's hope" with his fist entitles him to the right to be a man who feed upon the grosser aspects of life. Athletics know no man by his color, and in this department of the sport he has reached the highest pinnacle, and shines as the king so far as punishment goes. The game of the fisticious arena has ever been attractive. It pays to be a strong man, able to give and take punishment, and to win titles. It pays better in the field of mugilism. From the racial standpoint, the victory of Johnson over Jeffries furnishes helps the Negro range the world that opportunity is its greatest need in any avenue of life. He has done for Jack Johnson is the same old story repeated over and over. George Dixon, Joe Gans, Major Taylor, Frank Hart, and the rest of them have all made good at opportunity and every day they applied to the Negro who has achieved distinction in what walk of life he strove. Jack Johnson, as the world's heavyweight king of pugilism, can then be regarded as an asset from purely the racial point of view. Now, then, Mr. Johnson is in a realm of respect and appreciation, having done some over the future progeny of the entire Negro race. Therefore, he should conduct himself just as if he possessed a real value to every Negro living. He should have learned that Mr. Johnson will read it and regard the responsibility he has assumed and discharge his obligation becoming the great position he holds to-day before Johnson cannot afford to do a great many things that ordinary people do. He cannot afford to do reckless things, he cannot afford to be a racist, he cannot race buses. Before a fighter he can defend himself, but on a race course he cannot. I have often heard that he is a great man, but he is a solicitudinus that is the case, and we take this opportunity to say that in every city where it is his pleasure to exhibit, the eyes of our children are always on him. He much credit on himself and his race should he cut off the saloons, clubs and other resorts where infamous pleasure holds by the throat the cheap Nero. He is a man of faith and dutiful son to a mother worthy of him. This doubtless gives him greater honor than possibly he could hope to enjoy with his achievement. The fist fight. The papers throughout America said, the day after the fight, "His mammy prayed for him to win against jeffries, doubtless a great great great and invulnerability Gatsby that helped him to 'bring home the bacon.' We imagine that Johnson had the hopes of his mother uppermost when Jeffries was the prayer of "Aunt Tina" Johnson THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER that outweigher all the white man's money. The writer is solicitous that the great victor of the fistic ring will live long to enjoy the crown he wears, we hope with becoming dignity, and feel that while we wish to do him honor by applauding his victories, also to remind him of his pressing obligation to every Negro in the world. M. A. MAJORS, M. D. Chicago, Ill. Manager and Owner of "A Rabbit Foot" Comedy Company, Writes His Views on the Present Theatrical Outlook for the Neuro. Mr. Editor, if space is available, you will kindly publish the following article, which hope will be of some help to the business and will therefore need a time from time to time a number of articles on the theatrical business, and in the most of these articles the advice of the writer will be given to the foundation, and in a very few cases has the writer spoken from practical experience, but just simply spoke in an office. Now, to begin with, a performer is not a manager, as there is as much difference between the two people as there is between the two actors, both of these mechanics work together upon a building, but there is a great difference between the two workmen, and the same thing applies to a performer One of the greatest mistakes in the theatrical business among the Negroes is that you don't have to know anything about the business, but that all a man has got to do is to have the money and go ahead and open his show and make money, as no knowledge of the business is necessary; that misunderstanding the business will be at the door of poverty than most any other legitimate business. I know over a score of good men who are now past the age of fifty years, who at one point had no money and had dollars in the banks and their homes paid for, and were well well and had normal credit in the towns and cities where they lived; but on account of being ill advised they had to be induced to enter into this business just because they had the money. So they started into the theatrical business and run for a few weeks or months, and then they went to a poorer but wiser man. I rather think that the theatrical press should give a little attention to this particular evil, just as much as they do to other enterprises which are of less dan- In my judgment, for a man to make a success in the theatrical business, he must have some knowledge of the business, or at least of the business of success in the theatrical business depending upon the advice of some would-be manager or some performer who tells him that he has been a performer for a while, even for a few years. He will advice and he will get the money. Some performer will always tell the green manager with the money. "Look at Pat Chapman," he says. "You have to fortune. You can do the same. All you have got to do is to open the business." The performer gets the theatrical papers, shows this green manager some article about the business of success, how they are turning them away, etc. which helps to get the green manager PAT CHAPPELLE. further in the hole. After this man gets in the hole this same performer and other manager that he has not got a good show, doesn't pay money enough, etc. In the morning the green manager has lost all his home, and has to go back to working as he was at first. In hopes to get back to where he was before he made his theat In my judgment, this evil could be stopped by the theatrical press by not writing up misleading articles and call-up the attention of the green manager to the fact that he must have to knowledge of the business that he is about to undertake, as there was never a business a success out of a business to be made on the thing about and had to depend upon some other fellow who claims to know all about the business. But still this fellow who claims to know all about the business has never run a business to the fact that he was not a former or would-be manager who knows all about the business, takes The Freeman or New York Age, to further convince the green manager with the money he has to be in and is in the blue line. The critical press for not taking some steps to prevent the evil. I feel frank to say that every man that knows anything about the theatricals business makes a success nine times out of the time he has done the man with the money. This evil is the green man with the money. This evil could be stopped if the theatrical papers would be a little more care and in the articles that are published in different forms. Now just, we must be back and look at what I say, just refer back and twenty-five years, and count the colored mean-up managers who have made something out of the retrials business and are dare say you will not find two; and this same rule usually applies with the Negro performer also, the big ones as well as the little ones. If the course has performed the great manager, but still you can easily count all of them that have something in the business world to do with his name, he has not you will find it much different, but comes to the white manager and performer. I noticed an article in the New York Age, date September 29. I presume written in a book, "Tip to Theatrical Promoters," Now, Mr. Walton means well in his article, but I am compelled to take issue with him in his article. I make this statement hardly think that Mr. Walton has had a sufficient practical experience as a theatrical manager to properly advise a green manager; make this statement more clearly in his point; carefully advise another in any particular business, why, the adviser must have some practical experience in said business; and make this statement more clearly in his article. Mr. Walton's article, I note that he comments upon a certain rumor that was given out by some real estate dealer in New York, and that colored amusement enterprises are very poor business ventures. I rather think that such advice is not very helpful to the business and to the edge of the business and in reading this article further, I note that Mr. Walton has made some comments upon the Howe Theatres in Washington, he collaring, was no surprise to me to read. this house closing, as the same thing applies to this house as to all the others in the business, closed, as it is due to the lack of management and the proper knowledge of the business. Looking over the theatrical field, more especially the little colored vaudeville man, finds one per cent. hardly, of the little house owners, or owed managers. In most cases it's a young white man, who has had some show experience on some carnival or circus shows, in that, being white, he can easily handle the business, because this performer has more confidence in the white man and his management. The little colored manager has more confidence in getting the people, even after paying more, more per week than this white grafter does. The reasons for this are that the grafter performs has more confidence in the white man, the grafter has learned a little more about the business from the carnival and side show of some circus, which gives him a greater business. This class of amusement house managers is to reduce the Negro profession than any other kind of business. It is daily reducing the profession, and those who may be interested in years from to-day will see a big difference. Now, I trust that the press, Mr. Walton and the public will not take the wrong side of this article, as the same is not written in the book and as I have no ax to grind. My business has been a success, as I have made and saved out of my business in the past fifteen years. I have business, sand dollars, and to-day have a rental income of $600 per month from my real estate. Am now on the eve of retiring from my business, not because my enterprise is not a business, am tired and have a sufficient income to support myself and family.

The Political Capacity of the Negro. BY PROF. KELLY MILLER. Howard University. Washington, D.C. "It is the most intrepid, thorough-going defense of the political capacity of the Negro that I have yet seen. Prof. Miller's fervid plea for the African ought to produce the same impression upon the educated men as Johnson viciously hampered on the mean streets everywhere. Give the Negro a fair chance and he may be able to hold his own with the best of us." London Review of Reviews, W. T. Stead. Eton. "A remarkable article." -Birmingham (England) Daily Mail "A vigorous, courteous defense of the political review of Reviews." -American Review of Reviews. "It is the best defense of the political rights of the Negro extant" -South western Christian Advocate.
