NUMBER 5 EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK MEN'S CLUB GIVE THEIR FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET ORGANIZATION FOR THE IMPROVEMENT Of the Race Along All Lines— Occasion Was Inspiring and Impressive—Mrs. Emma Pryon Entraints at Dinner. Louisville Special to THE FREEMAN The Men's Club, an organization whose understanding among those who are interested in the educational, commercial, moral and religious affairs of the Plymouth, gave the man and woman a place in the murders of the Plymouth Congregational church. It was a most representative gathering. Every religious body, every faternal family, every man and woman among our people was there by proxy. There has probably never before assembled under one roof in this city so many men who have made a difference in the organizations. During the social hour preceding the speech-making, the Western Union orchestra enlivened the occasion with overtures from the masseurs, and the orchestra assembled around board everybody was in the proper humor to enjoy, not only the vlans spread by the dainty fingers of the ladies; but also, the postprandial laughs and all went well as the marriage bell until the orchestra struck up the old air "My Old Kentucky Home" when the bombs were present. The scene was deeply inspiring and impressive, and will be long revived in the recollections of those who witnessed it. The program was as follows: E. G. Harris, "The Brotherhood Movement." Dr. W. T. Amiger, "The Price of Manhood." hood." Rev. Hannum, "The Church's Need of More Men." E. C. Malone, "Should the Church Participate in Secular Affairs." Alex Morris, "Kindly Speech." W. Steward, "As a Layman Sees It." H. W. Perry, "The Schools and the Church." The majority of the colored population of this city are certainly a patient and long-suffering people. Abused, cursed, despised, discriminated against, vilified and set apart like lepers, yet wherever poor white man wants to get a start in his career he must be patronized and support of his own people, he institutes a little business for degrees only, and they rush to his support, enrich him and enable him to start the business for white people only—the business for white people place aside for his colored friends. Here in this city we have several fine restaurants owned and conducted by our men people, but very poorly supported, because there are a few white men running the restaurants, and very fine theaters controlled by colored men, yet a week ago our people deserted playhouses to patronize a house that charges colored people double the price of a inferior accommodation offered to the white. We have a large business to white shysters who never read a law book. Many of the theses law use negro preachers, who by reason of their influence of negroes generally, are in command the ousiness, their focks. "Whatever is white is right." They willing to prefer the grin of one white man for a few days to the eternal whole negro race. And these means, that we make him a better man here and give him hereafter, is used to work the greatest curse upon him.

Crutchfield, Courtney Mayor, Emma Ralston, Lena Crutchfield and B. K. Bridges.

THE STATE INSPECTOR AT LOUISVILLE, KY. The state inspector visited our home, December 10, 1910. It will be of interest to the members of the Kentucky Home Society, known as the Kentucky most commendable terms of Dr. Parrish, the president, and Mrs. Allen, the secretary; then states that "this, like the Kentucky Children's Home Society, is a work equally as commendable as the co-operation of the good people of this commonwealth in the struggle of the colored people who are anxious to give aid to the destitute colored people of Kentucky, whose members may be of pure and more wholesome character, and which means so much to the children. Dr. Parrish and Mrs. Allen are worthy of the best commendation that can be given for their devotion to society, and they are willing to bring about this great reform in Kentucky. Every Christian colored man and woman in the State should give of their means in so far as they are able to do so, and especially their sympathy, to those who are laboring in the service of the society. Until the past August (1910) the receiving home of the society had been at Dr. Parrish's residence, 847 Sixth street. Children were sent from the city to the spring, Ky., where they were kept temporarily or until they could be placed in homes. Since August 1, 1910, they have occupied the two and one-half story building at 807 S. Sixth street, Ky., and the two and one-half story building at ten rooms on the lower floor; five PULLMA O.U.S.C.

The work of the society in the past has been done under great difficulties, but with the assistance given by the legislature, the society has made great results. The society has secured and cared for forty-eight children since receiving aid from the State, and as it has no school of its own, the children are housed in most public schools and returned in the afternoon.

Special to THE FREEMAN. DENISON Tex.-Sunday afternoon at San Antonio, Texas, the body of Bishop Odd Fellows, grandmother, last in the offerings from all parts of the United States made of the grave a very flower garden, each one seeming to try to rival the beauty of the grave, the fragrance of all combined ascending to the heavens, perfuming the path upon which the soul of the departed bishop rose as it went into the kingdom of its soul, the body was lowered that majestic body, out of the sight of hundreds who were eager to gaze upon it, some connection with the God-power that gave it force in the life and a kingly appearance of death. San Antonio is a city of beautiful flowers, and in the midst of winter, delightful weather, great the hundreds of beautiful rays, and the presence seemed to be in mourning and the clouds cast a pall of gloom; then as the day advanced and the hour of the funeral services were scarred by the presence of beautiful rays and its warmth, in order that day upon which the last mortal remains of the deceased bishop were buried by the presence of wondrous beauty and a fitting climax of a peaceful, sweet-tempered life, made great through a supreme faith in God; and made a sacred memory to his people, years of honest labor in their behalf. The funeral services were conducted by Bishop H. P. Parks, Chicago, presided over by Dr. R. S. Jenkins of Texas. Because of their length the services were begun at 11 o'clock, the body having laid in state since the day previous at St. Joseph's Church, was at one time pasted by the deceased. Bishop Evans Tyree preached the funeral sermon and Prof. H. T. Kealing, the pastor of the A. M. E. Review, read the obituary of the life of Bishop Grant.

Bishop Evans was the first minister every state in the Union, including messages from President Taft. Governors Handley of Missouri and Stubbs of Kansas. The funeral ceremonies and burial services were held at Pythians and Masons. For the latter order he secured their charter in this state, and was the first grand master. On behalf of the bishop, Mr. Sherman, John W. W. McKinsey, Sherman, Texas, the present grand master, delivered an eloquent eulogy on the life of the departed bishop as man and master. As a result of the beautiful terms his works as a master craftsman. The cortex was a long one, and as the last carriage left the cemetery, the setting marked the rest of a weared laborer who had toiled long and well. Bishop Grant was an ex-slave born while his parents and master were cross-born came the Negro who rose to be respected by many great men of his day, and who occupies the highest denomination and was the most beloved churchman of his race. He received the friendship of all who knew him. Governors Hogg and Ireland were the chief ministers of the denomination and the latter, when governor, at one time chartered a special train to send him to the seat of some racial disturbances. He largely to his assistance and confidence, and the latter, when governor, at one time chartered a special train to send him to the seat of some racial disturbances.

He was appointed the real founding and placing on a business basis of the A. M. E. Church Extension Board. He also organized the Connectional Preachers Aid Society. The two last preachers were the Home for Aged Ministers at Colorado Springs, Col., and the erection of the John Brown monument. At the Ecumenical Conference, where the Methodists of the world gave their testimony from Canada, this former slave boy was to preside at one of the sessions, and on his death bed his only expressed wish for a prolonged life, was uttered when he stated that his only possible desire to further life was in order that he might fill his part on that When as a runaway slave, he was seeking his freedom, he passed the very spot upon which Tuskegee Institute now stands. With Booker T. Washington he was armed with the same weapon of Commission and he and Dr. Washington were close friends. The principal of Tuskegee, speaking at the funeral exercises in Kansas City, is quoted as saying: "He was a wizard in my mind, in my mind of doubt I ought his sane advice; in my moments of despair I sought his cheer. Truly he was my dear friend. At the funeral services conducted in Kansas City, Bishops Galanes, Coppin, Derrick, Derrick, and Goppin, Oceans J. W. Beckett, Secretary of Missions, J. W.

White at the Government Hos- pital for ihe Insane because of the ad- Inission of colored medical students from Howard University. Dr. White insists that his time will not permit him to. give more than one lecture, and he is giving that to the students ‘who come to his class to hear him, The colored students fof the’ medieal ‘department of Howard continue to attend the lectures, and along with them, making no complaint, are the members of. the Army Medical School, made up of the flower of the United States Army. ‘The white university boys continue to hold out, and the school au- thoritles say they are powerless to force them to go out to hear Dr. White. In the meantime the bushes are being beat en to find a lecturer of Dr. White's call- ber to talk to the white on “mental dis- orders.” Little is being said in the daily papers, for the subject is a “delicate one” in this neck of the woods, but there is a great deal of snickering being done on fhe quiet among both races over the predicament in which the white boys are finding themselves over a matter too lit- tle to have caused all of this foolish com- motion. It 1s being argued that men of the best Southern families attend Har- vara and Yale and work olong with the Colored men, without the slightest rriction and with no loss of caste at home, “surely, the social standing of, these fellows at home must be of the flimiest Kind to be hurt by breathing the same air with @ score or so of colored students once a week in a big hall,” remarked a well_known white professor this week. “These hot-headed youngsters will be oghamed of themselves when they are President W. P. Thirkield, of Howard University, has steadily upheld the dig- nity and manhood of his students, and his attitude from the start has commended itself to the thinking people of both races here. He has counselled silence; _ has urged them to go ahead with their stud- Tes and set an example in dutiful atten- tion to their work, leaving all attempts at disorder or confusion to others. In Short, President ‘Thirkield and his young men have simply “stood pat.” ‘They are Clearly within their rights and they, are masters of the situation. | ‘They have nothing to quarrel about.

SCARBOROUGH. Today the world is full of vital questions. We are waking up to the fact that we have duties, both as individuals, communities and races. These duties are appealing to us. They press upon us. We face them at every turn. We cannot avoid them. We cannot shirk them, and for the good of humanity and self as well, we are all growing keenly alive to the fact that we ought not try to shirk them, and that we must not shirk them. Perhaps among all the questions that come up before the thoughtful and serious man of today there are none more vital than those pertaining to the young people of the present age. In fact, we are reminded continually by many things that the present is the age of youth—it is the day for the young—and this is especially true of the young men. Now, it has been said that Dr. Ossler would have all men above 65 put painlessly out of existence, as men are then no longer fit to take any further part in the world's struggles. He has denied the saying, and says he has been misunderstood. But, at any rate, we do know there is a growing tendency to push the old men aside and make them give place to youth. It is not at all my purpose here to discuss the wisdom of such a proceeding, other than to say that judgment in the affairs of the world is just as much needed today as ever, and perhaps more so, because of the complex problems of life that abound everywhere: and that judgment comes only through experience and maturity. It does not spring full blown in any individual, though the old heathen's mythology do describe the goddess of wisdom as springing from the head of Jupiter. That would do for the ancients to believe, but will not apply today. No; wisdom, I repeat, must come from experience and maturity of years. So, thou hite the old man may be pushed aside and the young man crowd him closely, the chief concern of the world, I think, is to find out whether the right work is being done by the young alone. We are told that in Biblical times Rehoboam made a great mistake along this line. He sought the counsel of the young men and ignored the wisdom of the elders, and as a result the kingdom was split and eventually went to ruin. Are the young men of today fitted to do the world's work alone? We venture to say they are not. But we are concerned to know whether they are fitted even by aid of counsel, or when they reach manhood, and stand each as a man among men. The youth is to become a citizen and a voter. He is to wield an influence either for good or evil. He is to make or mar the reputation of the community in which he lives, or of the race of which he forms a part. In short, the youth of today, because of this, is a very prominent factor in the making of the nation at large. This being the case, it seems to me that the vital question up to us as a people is: What is the Negro boy doing with himself today? For he is either to be our salvation as a race, or the instrument that will weigh us down in the struggle we are making for higher things. Every city and town is alive to this "boy question;" every educational association is wideawake concerning juvenile delinquency and degeneration and methods for checking the same. Reform schools, industrial schools, juvenile courts, are all taking a hand in studying how best to meet and solve this boy problem which present-day life seems to force upon our notice; for the boy of today is in many respects different from the boy of some years ago. Now, if the world at large is so awake to the necessity of studying the present-day boy, his life, his motives, his ambitions, his purposes, so that he may be helped into a noble, useful manhood, we, as a race, cannot afford to be idle. It becomes a new Negro problem—and really the problem most worthy of our individual attention. Look at the Negro boys of today as a whole. Life in the cities is appealing to them in many ways that eventually lead to ruin. Their ambitions are ranging as high as they should range. Love of ease, a good time, plenty of money and good clothes are the ideals with far too many, to say nothing of lower aims which lead straight as an arrow to a low life. Now, we all know that we really are what our thoughts make us. So the question resolves itself into another: About what is the Negro boy thinking? I have answered it in part, by telling what so many chiefly desire in this world. Our desires are governed by our thoughts. The boy that lets his thoughts dwell on money and pleasure is very apt to step out of the right path to obtain money and have the pleasures. He is most apt to drift along with his desires. This is also shown by the fact that, if he desires something on a higher plane of life, he struggles and reaches for it until he has it in his grasp. Our boys, then, must be made thoughtful. They must learn to turn to books and proper companyship for this food for thought. They must develop along this line properly, or their untrained feelings, urged on by improper thoughts, will lash these young people into actions that will soon place them among criminals. For this reason, the Negro boy should be the special study of the Negro people of thought. Our boys are surrounded by many temptations and associations that make it especially hard for them to break away, even if they desire to; and poverty and prejudice help to keep them under these influences. They need, then, strength of character, to give them experience and the maturity necessary to make them the strong reliable men of the future. Now, what then shall be done for our boys that they may be thus strengthened? I want to speak of some things that may be attempted, at least. It is hardly necessary to say that THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER we ought to begin with the parents, for that is evident. Weak government at home is the starting point of many a boy's downward career. Some would say it is chiefly bad companionship. But I would reply that strong, wise home government will have much to do with the companionships formed, good or bad. The old Chinese idea of obedience and respect to parents is a basic thing in education, and we can learn things from China, no matter how enlightened we think we are. The boy that has learned to obey his parents and respect their authority has taken the first step toward true greatness. When the boy does not like to be at home—there is something wrong somewhere, and it is a wise thing to see if the home is wrong before blaming the boy too much. Home life must be attractive if the boy is to like home. Boys are led by attractions, and today the homes have something to do to compete with outside attractions. There must be cleanliness and tidiness, but not so much as to make a boy's mud and dirt a sin or a crime. There must be goodness, but it must not be made a tyranny or offensive. There must be sympathy and appreciation for the boy nature and all its weaknesses and faults. And parents should feel the responsibility of bringing up a boy right. At home they boy should get his first ideas of right and duty, and wise training will give this. But we know that conditions surrounding many homes leave the boy a prey to all evil influences. It is an unfortunate thing for a boy when both parents, or the only parent, as the case may be, must toil away from home most of the time. Home then ceases to be a home, and becomes only a place to eat and sleep—a mere shelter that cares only for the body, and perhaps only partially for that, and lets the mind and soul go begging for something to feed upon. When the 1 THE EDITOR PROF, W. S. SCARBOROUGH. boy has to go out from home to find something for his higher nature to feed upon he is often misled and gets only asks of evil instead. If the child is to be started right, he must have a home influence of the right sort—he must have it somewhere and somehow. The young man who has a good home is blessed. He should turn to it, care for it, be proud of it, and make himself worthy of it. He should keep the thought of home as an incentive to do the right things, to live the right life, to keep out of temptation to avoid evil, to keep self-respect. When Geo. Washington bowed low and took off his hat to an old colored man and was chided for it, he taught a lesson of self-respect to everyone in his reply. He said, "I will never let anyone be more polite than I am." Now, the young man should cultivate self-respect all along. Never let others outdo him in self-respect, I would say to every youth. The value of self-respect is immeasurable in forming character, and by self-respect I do not mean the vanity or egotism that makes one feel he is a little bigger and better than anyone else in the world. Self-respect does not mean that. It does mean that attitude of mind that leads one to consider himself in duty bound to act and speak and think that he may have no cause to be ashamed of himself. I would rather see a young man with such self-respect than to see him with learning alone; for such self-respect will eventually lead him to wisdom and learning as it develops. But the world cannot go into the homes and make fathers and mothers do what they should. It can only advise and entreat for the best of home conditions, and in this advising it calls to aid in this respect the various societies that help to uplift; and we are thankful that the Negro is not behind in entering this field, which has for its aim the bettering or social conditions among our people, beginning with the homes. Next comes the school influence. I would have every youth consider that it is a privilege to go to school. It is through education that character-building goes on, and that is the best education which has aim and purpose and method, as well as breadth. We find this education in our schools, and by far too many of our boys are out of the schools today. I know what the general tendency is—to leave and get to work—sometimes through actual necessity, sometimes through a supposed necessity. I cannot stop here to discuss why so few Negro boys comparatively are in high schools and colleges, or in business. The general reasons are discussed in every educa- tional circle, but I know we have too many idle boys, who are neither at work or in school, and I know that Satan is still at his old business of finding mischief for them. What is the race to do if the boys and young people are going to turn their backs upon mental training altogether and gives themselves entirely to industrial work, because, as they say, they must earn a living? To earn a living is a good thing, but that is not all of life. There is a spiritual side to our natures—an intellectual one. Then, too, there is no excuse for devoting one's self exclusively to industrial work. We want both higher learning and industrial training. Then we should put both to practical use. Look at the foreigners who crowd our cities. See how eager they are to learn and see what our schools have to teach them. Turn to the night schools that our Boards of Education everywhere are setting up in cities and towns of every size. It is the age of opportunity for young people, I repeat, and the trouble with the young people today seems to be that they are too unconscious of the value of opportunities. They like to drift, to depend on chance, and, as a rule, they have no definite aim in life, no purpose to steady them as they go. The church is another strong influence that should reach out its hand for the salvation and the upbuilding of the youth. There is always hope for the young men who are church-goers. But churches should have the right men in the pulpits—men who can attract the young and hold them, whom young men can respect and to whom they will listen and turn for advice. Every agency of the Negro church should be active in helping the Negro boy. So I say that today our young men should respect home authority, should crowd the schools that offer so much, should attend the church, should work THE LETTERS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST in the day with hand if necessary, but take every opportunity of working at night with the head, then so as to help the hand to greater skill and finer expertness. We need especially to have our boys and young men stirred with ambition. It is all we have as a race to look forward to—this great desire to reach some worthy ideal. We would not be where we are today if the youth of four decades ago had not been filled with yearnings to rise and do great things. We may not have achieved astonishingly great things, but the ambitions of the youth of these early decades of our free history as a people have constituted the potent motive in helping us to the present plane of wealth, of intellectual development, of general progress. It is not going to do for the boys of the present day to lag behind those of that day. Opportunities then were comparatively few, ignorance was rense, there were many discouragements; but pluck, ambition, determination, led many a body to study hard and reach eminence. I think the boys then felt they must do something, that they must climb high, that it would not only be for their own pleasure and delight to rise, but that it was a duty to do so. They felt the progress of a race depending upon their efforts. That is the feeling that should inspire the youth of today—to wish to be of service to the race. Now, duty is always held by some young people as a most disagreeable thing—something so unattractive as to lead them to turn away from the idea. This is a wrong spirit. Altogether duty is one of the finest things to develop character that the world holds, and instead of being repelled by it, we ought to welcome it, follow it. What we ought to do is something that we know is the thing to do, and then we should do it. The young men—these boys growing up around us—all must be made in some way to wake up to the fact that they owe a duty to their God, to themselves, and to the race. And this duty calls upon them daily and hourly with a still small voice to make the most of themselves, to become men in the highest sense, to despise evil and its walks and ways. We do not want vigorous youth to become merely good. We know youth wants activity, and we should only seek to direct that activity into proper channels. It is not honorable activity to spend one's time in mere sport, in play, in useless things; but it is honorable activity to do something that will count in the world's work. We have too many idlers, who should be doing something that will engage mind or hand, or both. We cannot afford to increase this number. We must diminish it. They should hunger and thirst after knowledge—knowledge of men, knowledge of books, knowledge of things, knowledge of affairs. There is really no justifiable excuse for a young man remaining in ignorance. Our young men must show more determination, more grit, more purpose. Not a mail passes without bringing to my desk an appeal for help to finish an education. It speaks well for those who send these appeals, but when all cannot be definitely furnished with work, I have this to say which is a truth well known: "So much rests with the boy. If he is determined to have his education, he is not going to let such a matter as present lack of something to pay his board and tuition to stop him; he is not going to falter because he can receive no definite promise of money, but he is going to push forward and find a niche for work that will help him on; he is going to 'make good,' as the saying goes, through his persistent industry, courage and determination, and in the end that boy is going to succeed." I can tell my young friends that the race leans too much—it must learn to stand alone, to walk alone, to run alone, to climb alone. The boys must be more manly. A desire to be manly is an incentive to this duty boys owe the race, and to show that manliness by evidencing less of the begging spirit is a necessary thing. It is a duty to try to live on a high plane in all things. Clean food and clean clothes do not count for much if clean morals do not accompany them. Young man hood needs to look to its morals. It cannot gamble, drink liquor or practice other vices and respect itself, or do its duty by the race. If I could have the voice of a Senator I would sound a clarion call throughout the race to our boys and young men, to wake up and follow the path of duty that we may not lose in the march upward, where we have to strive so strenuously to keep pace and step with progress. Do our young men know what it means if they are to let down the standard by letting down their own ambitions, by lowering ideals? I can tell them it means decline, it means degeneration, it means death to all our hopes. Thank God, there are young men who are alive to this, young men who, by their societies—secular and religious—are striving to uplift themselves and lay hold of other young men and lead them on to better things. But I beg that we hold to the idea of education—that we strive to fill the minds with noble thoughts, that we may get noble actions and noble lives. Let us aim to lure and push all these boys and young men of ours into some sort of learning—something that will occupy their minds and incite them to highest service. Some one has said that the average boy's horizon is bounded on the north by his sports, on the south by his friends, on the east by his prospects and on the west by his ambitions. Let us accept this interpretation of our boys' outlook upon life, and through it let us try to lead them to higher things. Let us watch the sports; let us try to provide proper sports and keep the youth from criminal things; then his north side will be protected. Let us watch the companionship side of the question. Let us see if the boy has chosen well or ill, and why the choice. Let us strive to convert the "gang," getting at the bottom of that spirit that leads boys to hang together in everything, and make it serve us in inducing them to hang together in the things they ought to do. His south side will then be reinforced. Let us help him to see prospects that are full of allurement along right channels, and we have him bounded securely on the east; and then let us help him to fine visions, to high ideals, until, as one expresses it, he has the full idea of what life means, and the idea of being of service to his race shall dominate him as his character is being formed. When this is done, and his west side well guarded, the position of the boy, of the young man, is impregnable. He is surrounded by fortresses and becomes a very fortress of strength in himself, a joy to his own young manhood and to his friends and his people. I tell you, my friends, if our young men of to-day, our boys of to-day, will only stop and think, will only gird themselves for the task, we can make a future that is most enviable. "To will is to do," is no idle saying. But our young men must do the getting ready now. Now is the day of preparation; now is the time of opportunity. I would say to them all: Crowd the schools, day and night; reach out and take learning wherever it may be found; fill up full with inspiration; be sure there is no moral shortage in the make-up; reach high for the things that are desirable; let nothing daint or discourage. Remember that it is for the race and the future. Understand that to live simply for a selfish individual pleasure is low and mean. Make every movement count; waste no energy of any kind. Consider idleness a sin. It is true that the path of duty is the way to glory, and let Wilson's words become your motto: "Let the word Duty seem to be the biggest word in the world, and let it be uppermost in all serious doings." And all this counts for success. So, to the young men and boys I send this closing thought: Remember that it is a noble and heroic thing to sow the seed of which future generations shall gather the harvest, and remember that there will be no harvest of great things for us unless youth arises in its might to scatter the seed. It is your day, my young friends, your opportunity, to see that you choose well your path, pursue it faithfully, and let that path be a path to a "clear-purposed goal for the race—the path of advance."

But do it with Kink-no-more, the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more must be the best kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and, with a little combing, the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one month, but from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelous does it do its work that on almost always their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not cause harm to us, but will stop it from fading out; positively removes dandruff, promotes a luxurient growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is oftentimes afflicted with white hair that is claimed for it or money refunded. We will send to any one on the receipt of $1 a regular size box of Kink-no-more and send a agent White to two heads of hair.

Mayor Shank didn't say it, so that's all to it. The Legislator said he didn't see any use in reprimanding him, since he didn't say it. Why don't the Democrates of New York hand it to Alton B. Parker? It's so strange! The senatorship job seems too good, yet they would make him President. Ye gods and little fishes! Mayor Shank has expressed himself as being friendly to the manly art of self-defense. Boxing is all right, he says, just so it isn't carried too far. Mr. Shank perhaps has been influenced by Jack Johnson, who is in town this week. One more month of the durance vile, commonly called winter, and we usher in to those elysium of days—now that's spring, when men and all things that move will be touched by the elixir that makes new and glad—now that's some. Jack Johnson is a poor excuse of a speaker for a Negro. He wiggles like a bashful school boy and looks just as simple. But of course he's who he his, and the agony he's endured in order to discover what he has to say. He made a hit when he said that America expected the best man to win. The tributes of respect to the memory of the late lamented Bishop Abraham Grant is well nigh universal, as it concerns the negro press. The press of the country, regardless of color, has dealt with him most respectfully, the object being to show appreciation for his work and greatness, measured by his usefulness to his fellowmen. I repeat that the time has come when the negro farmer should be so thrifty, so industrious, so full-handed, that he can live for a year or longer without having to go to somebody to supply him with food, clothing, animals, and implements to be used while he is making his year's crop—Booker T. Washington at the Negro Farmers' Conference. Ordinarily one will think that help comes from an exhibition of humility—that sackcloth and ashes humility. But it doesn't. Even the master of the vineyard in biblical days took from the one of small store, and who whined about his small store. The world isn't built that way. True, enough, there must be causes, or else there'll be no redress. It does not mean complete abjection, however—utter hopelessness in the fact and in the expression. In short and to put it vulgarly, no one cares for a dead one. If we feel called on to tell the Europeans who we are at home, let us also tell them of the good things the race has done; tell them of good men and women and their accommodations. If the picture is painted too beggarly, nothing but contempt is gathered where sympathy, compassion were expected. Human nature is a funny "institution," as Mark Twain might have put it. That old, overworked expression of "laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone," is big with truth. Who cares a "tupence" for anything or individual all down and out? REAL OPPORTUNITIES IN AMER ICA. After a rather extended journey through Europe in the late summer and fall, I returned with the settled conviction that there was no place in the world where, whatever his condition or color, the common man had as great opportunities or was worth as much to himself, as right here in America—Booker T. Washington in the National Magazine. Ain't it the truth. Tell it to the paragraphers. Admitting the negroes of America are not exactly at par with the white folk, yet they suffer but very little in the discount. This has in mind opportunity and development. As compared with Negroes elsewhere, in opportunity and development, the United States Negroes are as a silver dollar of this country as compared with one of Mexico—they score about two times. DID HE MAKE THE PLEDGE? We are not ready to accept as correct the following report sent out. Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—A committee of Negroes, headed by Edward H. Morris, of Chicago, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, today called on President Taft and pledged to him and his administration the hearty support of the 750,000 members of their organization. "Such a thing would be impossible, for the reason that the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows is not a political organization, and if it were such no man or set of men would have the authority, unless specially deputized so to do, to make any such pledge. We are, therefore, inclined to believe that the correspondent let "his zeal outrun his judgment." Hon. Edward H. Morris is too able an attorney to indulge such "sky-rocket caolllery" and we will not even wait for him to deny the language imputed to him"—The Richmond Planet. That's just what an individual said about the man who was in jail—couldn't put him in there for that. Well, he was in there, all right. A NEW LIQUOR LAW True to its promise, the Democratic party, through its representatives in the Legislature of the State of Indiana, has given the people a new liquor law. The optional unit has been reduced from the county to the township, thereby permitting the smallest governing unit to decide for those that make it up. Regardless of the merits of the liquor question, it appears that the Democratic party in this instance has not only made good its promise—it has given the better expression of true democracy in that the individual preference is more nearly ascertained in the smaller unit, than in the larger one. The question, as we view it, has not been hurt, by the action of the Legislature. It is yet up to the people as to what they shall have. The people govern, and not some imaginary force set up and called good or bad. What they declare is law unto them. Consequently, the declaration should come from them, and not from other parts. In the essence, it is home rule, the thing enlightened peoples clamor for, whether for small things or great things. Whether liquor is a good thing for a community or not is another question. It can be fought out as before between the forces for and against. It is apparent that this is the way the victory must be won in either event, the greater sentiment, manifest at the polls, by those of the smallest governing unit, to prevail. THE GOOD CITIZEN AND THE MOB The Louisville Courier Journal apologizes for the lynching at Shelbyville on the grounds that it was done by the "drunks and rowdies." By this it is intended to exculpate the best citizens of that community from the blame of that very unfortunate affair. The apology is too lame. Is it true that the "drunks" and their coterie are more influential and powerful than the decents? Where were the best citizens when these drunks were tearing down the jail and creating such a terror in that town?—Rochester (N. Y.) Sentinel. It wouldn't be quite fair to think they were right out in the mob's path, no matter how "decent" they were. The "apology" is a little "lamish," yet we think it should not be "poo-pooed" out entirely. We have said many times that it was the headstrong rowdy element that is foremost in the mobs, and that it by far is the lesser element of most of our communities, if not all of them. In our effort at redress we appeal to the respectable citizen, hence would not like to think of them as not existing in fact. If the good, "decent" citizen did not exist, at times things would be mighty dark. The salvation is to come from them, just as sure as redemption must come from heaven for the sinner. A TESTIMONIAL FOR EDITOR FOR TUNE. Booker T. Washington is at the head of a movement which has for its end a testimonial for Editor T. Thomas Fortune, formerly of the New York Age. Mr. Fortune did his best work on that publication, and of which he was publisher and editor. The Negroes throughout the country learned to love him for his peculiar ability for the work. He wielded a formidable pen, struck at error and wrong regardless of who or what was hurt. Mr. Fortune is yet in the harness, and apparently as brilliant as usual But he is getting along in age, and perhaps does not feel the fire of former days. His great friend, Mr. Washington, realizing the extent of human endurance, knows that it will not be long before his "hand" will lose its cunning. It is the misfortune of writers that they fail at the accumulation of the world's goods, sufficient to tide them through a protracted siege of old age. Mr. Fortune was not different from them. We wish Mr. Washington great success in his effort to remember Mr. Fortune for his great helpfulness to the race through his pen. We feel as he does in the matter—that something is due men who wear themselves out in great service for their fellowmen—watchmen on the towers, while others rest at ease. Soldiers, teachers and writers are of the salvationists that come in for consideration, and who, with the exception of writers, are not forgotten by the public they have served and helped save. The hard and fast rules of rigid economy in youth and in early maturity will not be read in such instances in order to defeat the deserving of compensation. The writer has a task to make ends meet, not to speak of those on race publications. Mr. Fortune rendered splendid service, but he is of that unfortunate class that has had but very little to turn over to newspaper accounts. His services were also a necessity, and he has fallen short of the pay due him, and which perhaps can never be brought up, regardless of the amount that the movement in his behalf brings forth. This has in mind the compensation that goes to men similarly employed. Looking at the effort in some such way, the public Mr. Fortune served so well is indebted to him. TEN NEGROES KILLED IN A CAISSON UNDER THE RIVER Divers at Newark, N. J., Recover the Bodies of Suffocated Laborers After Accident. NEWARK, N. J.—Divers today repaired the broken caisson under the bed of the Passaic river, in which ten THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. negro "sand hogs" met a fearful death late last night, and the work of recovering the bodies was begun. The ten bodies have been recovered. The accident was peculiar. The chain attached to a big iron bucket filled with dirt and stones, which was being raised from the river bed by a derrick, broke. The entire mass was precipitated on the upper door of the caisson, breaking it off. This permitted the compressed air to escape, and ten of fourteen men working in the chamber were drowned in the trap. The four who escaped were working alongside the ladder that led to the second air lock, and at the initial crash they scurried up, barely avoiding the inrush of water. The others fought madly among themselves to gain entrance to the four-foot outlet, but the water came in so quickly and in such volume, that they were overwhelmed. The men were engaged by contractors who are building a steel span for the Pennsylvania railroad's new high speed bridge. INTERESTING HAPPENINGS Webster H. Bailley—Hallie Q. Brown Loses Gift of Value.

CROWN GARDEN THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS. The bill this week at this popular playhouse is of excellent quality. There is much by way of variety, and not a little by way of some. Some old favorites are back with us again: the old judging from the almost constant applause, the management was wise in returning them. Among those on the reel, the most notable are Ringold & Johnson. The former team has been reviewed at length a few weeks back, and therefore it is unnecessary to dilute further on the merits of this clever play, but the management has and dancing diversion, were well received. The act is free from offensive suggestiveness and won out on its merits. The act is well scored in a singing and talking act. Martin is funny in spots and is well and suitably cast in the after-piece. Earl Walker has become a fixture, and his versatility has been a major qualification to the management. Our old friend, Geo. Taylor, is still the stand-out quantity as the chief funmaker. He has a creative genius that makes him invaluable in stock productions. The course is designed large, representing a bunch of sprightly high-yellow's that are good to look upon. Manager Le Merro has a card up his sleeve which he intends playing in the near future, and which he claims will revolutionize local show business when he uncovers this big "ace in the hole." SULLIAN, AN AVIATOR. COME DIAN OF "McFADDEN'S FLAT" Sullivan, principal comedian of "McPadden the Company," is a confirmed aviation man, who made one appearance under the most peculiar circumstances. Sullivan owns a small farm nestled dieneo, L. L. which is only a short distance to the grounds of the Aero Club of America, where man-birch try out their different machine mastering of the air; and so it happens that on many occasions the flights were to be made with such cases the would-be bird with his foot or a tyty-foot wings would find a landing spot of Sullivan's pet patches of promising young vegetables, and at other times it would destroy, lay fruit trees, etc.; on occasions the retired old Dobbin, the family horse, that too took fright, and did much damage. Sullivan's anger by this time had reached the other hand; on the other hand, he was greatly interested in the crows; so, to square Sullivan, he was an honorary member of the club. He then proved he was a game sport by purchasing a flyer. He now claims a flyer which he is justly proud, as he claims he he has the man who has never experienced a mishap of ture; he has never lost a rudder plaque; broken a wing, lost a spark plug, or suffered a hasty descent. So, on being asked no long ago to what he attributed the crash, he replied, "Well, I guess it is because I have never yet made an ascension." STAGE TALK—CINCINNATI, O, TROUBLES. The managers of the local houses are crying for new acts. Brownsville has been flooded with the same people doing in this week is doing the same act, same songs and using the same street talk that was used last week. Teams and single acts returning in January are doing the same act, the same songs and using the same night always comment on the shows by saying, "I went to see the shows last week," course, they are invariably asked, "How many of the houses they will say are fair, Tom and Jerry or Nancy Hanks are there, with the same acts they were doing before, singing the same songs, which means a lot of the actors, the formers don't give us something new," said a known manager, we will be compelled to cut out vaudeville." At the Pekin we find Pamplin, the Demon of the Tropics, the Pamplin, the Demon of the Tropics, is interesting. Unfortunately for this act the stage is not large enough for him to show to his best. Miss Lucy Shepherd never falls to draw, because she has all new songs every week. Garay and Bam are wonderful improvement over their last appearance. They have a nice line of talk, are good singers and dancers and good pictures were very interesting all week. At the Galither the James Sisters are drawing like a mustard plaster. They have the looks, the voices, and—well, enough said. The Clarks were held over the table, and they well for hold-overs. The pictures were good all week, making up a nice bill. GLOBE THEATER. JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (F. J. W. Seer.) Kenner, Lewis and Williams, a trio that's hard to beat, in songs, dances and dances, paying them even more dian, an it is pleasing. Lewis is a straight man, much different from the average straight man in southern show business. The female member of the trio, Karen, is a singer, good singer and dancer. This trio is one of the best that has played here, having up-to-date wardrobe in every respect, and the best of all, a clever, The show closed with the Islobe Stock Company in a musical farce comedy, 'The Old Kentucky Home, a very clever Mores personal direction in the staging of this one-act playlet pleased the audience in the way he had it brought out. Mr. Mores is a clever actor, singer and Mores his place will be filled by some one equally as good when his time comes to depart. The cast of his playlet were: Pop Rainey, Gertrude Tiffany, have said before, is a clever comedian in parts; Rae Nicolas, as Aunt Ustin, played the part as one would have expected to be played; Pop Rainey, Gertrude Tiffany, have said before, is a clever comedian in parts; John Williams, as Lazy Bill, is as he always is—good; Robert Davis, as Lew, did all that was expected. Robert Davis, as Lew, did all that was expected. Mr. Mores was made around the theatre from fresh paint to new picture frames, business must be picking up which is largely due to the way his clever little daughter, Miss Mamie Mamie, chose wishing to buy tickets at the box office.

Beautiful stage settings, representative of rugged nature, will be a charm to hold the Highway," he told the play, *Queen of the Highway*, the first play by Queen Teresa Indianapolis, Ind., the first three days of next week. One character goes Echo Canyon with Cascade Falls by moonlight. Another, the heart of a redwood grove. In the distance is shown the old stage coach approaching the court, the approach of the coach is shown, and shortly the real coach, drawn by four horses and loaded with passengers, is driven over a bridge and goes up a hill in plain view of the audience. Another striking scence is the camp of the Sloux Indians, where a duel is fought between an Indian and a cowboy, with banners in plain view of the audience.

"Happy Hooligan," from a new point of view, which will be the bill at the Park Theater for three days, beginning with a pop-up and successful musical comedies ever put together. It has assumed a warm place in the affections of the theatergoers by entirely its own merits. Unlike many other artists, it has been made the subject that it is entirely well loaded, puffery or the vapors of enthusiasm press agents. Because it was really funny, the people have gone to see it. The present edition of "Happy Hooligan" is a celebration of the curtain. The scenery, costumes and effects are all new, and in the company are a number of the most clever specialty artists in the country, and the chorus has been selected with regard to the role as the personal charm of its members.

SYLVESTER RUSSELL'S REVIEW. CHICAGO, Ill.—Living in an age of baseless theology, I am about to elucidate the sacredness of art in musical cultivation. We are striving to reach a new audience, and we are en minds and morals of a newer generation. The Christian Church and the legitimate theater must therefore come closer together as a musical alliance and of moral elevation. And so, to have our spiritual strength renewed and to escape the vice-inviting scenes of a sin-laden city, I attended Quinn Chapel at sun-day evening, the sound of our concert by Prof. Edward F. Morris. After the opening hymn, a prayer by Rev. W. D. Cook, the pastor, was performed by Prof. Christian Endeaver choir sang. A piano solo was rendered by Miss Araminta Thomas, followed by a solo. "Hear YE, Israel," rendered by Mrs. Hutchinson, a soprano who acted for the coolness of its luster. "Lift Thine Eyes," a tuneful trio; Prof. Charles Elgar, a violinist, whose work shows signs of art, method and polish; the Young People's Anthem, which was sung by Prof. Ave Marie; by Miss Irma Clark, and the Christian Endeavor choir completed the program. While comment on sacred concerts as never seen before, it then began to make church work interesting, providing the programs are not too long and tedious. The S. S. Hotel at the Pekin. Instead of a modification we have been awakened by the broadening out of Jesse A. Shipp's musical comedy stock company at Motown's Kejikin theater. The S. J. seashore, see sure or Sarah Smith, Hotel shows that Mr. Shipp has developed from a small, modest show now looks upon life as a more daring THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Manager Mott and Acting Director of the Media Center ful audience of first-nighters passed out. People Turned Away at the Monogram. There was a good reason for the crowds which congested the doorway at the Monogram. Jesse and Della Clipper had received a phone call from a voice again made musical and comedy love to his pretty little wife, who had threatened to forsake him, he change his name and move to Mrs. Clipper's grotesque comical finish, was the main cause, but there were other causes. Jesse and Della humor and finish of "That's Why They Call Me Shine" was her best effort, but why not give a Rose Brown original to add a great gritness to a womens' who is decidedly clever. Cuney black-face comedian, very laughable in darkly dialect, up-to-date and funny, and whose clever dances gave evidence of her intelligence and unacceptable, they were both clever and female impersonator scored on the finish. Murphy and Francis at the Grand. Murphy and Francis at the Grand. Bert Murphy, in black-face, was the shiest man in the stage at the Grand, Monday night. He had forgotten his lady friend, and when Miss Francis appeared as a welcome visitor to the audience it did not appear that she was pleased with the stage and folds that night. One trouble follows another in an M. & F. sketch, and after her husband's dress suit was torn to rags and he was thrown down the stage in comedy shining and dancing were exposed right there. Murphy doesn't need black to make him funny, as he is quite as funny without it. We will be able to see him off and amuse us without it. Stewart and Grundy did clever and excellent work in their favorite sketch. When Stewart sang a song that's out of season, I told an actress who sat next to me to write it off and amuse us without it. She hardly believed me; but when the song dropped dead and he didn't get a hand, she saw the reason why we have a famous circlic who makes actors good and makes manners good. And Forbes, a white team, gave a modern musical comedy and singing act as a warning to certain stubborn, lazy colored actors who want to have is good time and laziness, when all back numbers are counted out. Ora Criswell was good, but her act calls for style and dresses. Billy Starks and Joe Brown have joined hands and gone to work. The Tom Fletcher Duo, now on the Butterfield time, fluttered into Chicago to spend Sunday. Cliff Green opened at the Crystal one day last week, working alone. It is rumored that he is to double up with Proctor. Prof. Roy R. Pope, of the Ringling Bros' Annex Band, was the guest of the Beechmums and other friends while in Chicago this week. Charles Beechmums, the drummer and singing and dancing comedian, will be seen with Prof. P. G. Lowery's Musical Enterprise, season 1911, enroute with Wallace and Hagenbent Show. Eddie Gray, the tenor singer, has written a new song, 'The Tender to Love Some William Dorsey, and can be heard at his studio, 3159 State street, in the rear of the Frank L. Gale Plano Company. Kid Thomas and Margaret Ward have arrived in Frisco. Jerome and Lewis, who recently opened on the Pantage's time, have returned, owing to some dissatisfaction with the terms of their contract. . . . Bob A. Kelley and Mr. Catlin, America's greatest Chinese imponator, are on the New England time, and Frank Kelley is on the New York time. Mr. Catlin's care from overwork while nursing his wife during her recent illness, reports that he is now feeling moderately well. Charlene and Mimi played a new big time at Dover, N.J., recently. * * * * Miller and Lyles opened at Hammerstein's Victoria Theater, Broadway, New York. On Monday, the Springfield as follows: Unlock the doors, take a lesue boxing match to dance time is genuinely funny. Best of all, they know when riotous over their ownaking, they cut out unnecessary encores. Ilea Vincent at the Pekin There was almost a riot at Mott's Theater on last Friday evening, when M. W. Becker, the director of the floor Iea Vincent, the Cuban-born German Negro, in thirty minutes. Vincent, who is not as heavy as the men he meets, is not as heavy as the men he meets, ment of muscular, physical endurance. Steve Angel was the Turk's manager and Harry Weber was referee. Vincent is mindful of the physical endurance and is a regular Friday evening attraction. The entertainment is perfectly moral and conducted in a respectable manner and is well attented to and treated to ladies as well as young men. REMNANTS! REMNANTS! REMNANTS!

Wolast, lightweight champion, will have his hands full of business this month. He will take on three men, including his "ancient enemy," Nelson. Walter L. Cohen, one of the most prominent degrees of the South, thinks of heading a baseball syndicate in the South. Mr. Cohen lives in New Orleans, a most excellent place for the headquarters of the proposed league. --- Reports coming from the West have it that Rube Foster will lose at least three of his star players, this coming season, in injury to the players referred to in not mentioning their names. The teams which will get any of Foster's players will be in good luck, as any member of his team is a star addition to another --- The Cuban Stars, a collection of Cuban baseball players, who will visit the United States in April, should do well financially and the players should also be able to pick up points at our national game and profit by the experience. Beycarr the Indianapolis team, led by Carr, there have been several trips to Cuba by teams from this country, composed of major players, and trips to quite a boom in baseball through the now independent island. For years there has been a baseball team known as the Cuban Giants, but very few members of this colored aggregation ever visited from Havana, pitched a no-hit against Cincinnati when the Reds were in Cuba. JACK JOHNSON TALKS OF WEST ERN TRIP IN MILWAUKEE. MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Jack Johnson dropped into Milwaukee to confer with Robert Mohan, who Johnsons urged to coast with him and promised that in the case he could do so he would have on the average of at least two big fights on a film. Johnson stated that it was his intention to take Monahan to the United States and the towns in Canada where boxing is allowed. He intends to take two "hopes" across the sea and match them against the fighters in Ecuador and Australia. MORRIS A FAKE FIGHTER, SC SAYS JACK. Jack Johnson, world's heavyweight champion, last week declared that the rapid advance of Carl Morris, Sapulpa, Okla. the young "white man's hope," is due to fake fights. The black champion, the "hope" of the champion, himself, is also alleges that Mike Schreck told him in Pittsburgh a few days ago that the reason his fight with Morris was postponed was because he refused to pay down. "This fellow Morris was going to be able to give me a great fight some day, but the Schreck interview and my own experience with the Oklahoma promoter have queered me with the fights," says he made me work he is not so good.

CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON At the Empire Theatre, Indianapolis- Followed by Admiring Crowds. it is not best to take all the Johnson done being given out as straight goods. very much adulteration has been its discernment and unfairness it has late. To be forearmed is to be forearmed, so whatever the future intelligences may be on the champions' shoulders, it is undoubtedly strong. Everybody thought Jack was harnessed up for a go with, the Frisco was not not husbands but a now the scandal the coronation beams an in search of "hones" to wrest $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. END NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY —YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame drains or the follies of youth, that has cured so many wounded men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think any man who wishes to regain his manly power and vitality, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I be determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood. stop failure ever put together. I think I have to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and disarranged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, the quickest-acting, restorative, upbuilding SPOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, cure himself at home quietly and quickly, drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. B. Robbins, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary doctor's aid charge $3.00 to 5.00 for merely writing a description like this—but I send it entirely. BY HAROLD C. McGATH. the trophy from the grasp of the "big smoke." Even the thing is growing tiresome, while most of the crowded people wish most ardently that Johnny would keep the prize, some are beginning to think he should fight some and not attack him by default. But it's really up to the whole Johnson is not going to do the worry, and he's not to be blamed a bit. His incontested victory is a splendid asset, it takes little chance jeopardizes it. While it takes little chance he can whip anything standing on shoe leather, he takes a chance of being defeated every time he steps in the ring. The local sports, near-sports and the "also rans" vied with one another in international competitions. His group, Parties were even given in his coron, maybe banquets would be better. The home of Mr. Archie Great-house was located in the stopping place. Well, he got in on the stopping place, because Archie has got the goods and dispenses hospitality to the guests. But the house don't thaw out to everybody. But he knows what Jack stands for, so his team was thrown on the herd of Reno with the air of "don't mind expenses." --- They say Jack is ambitious, aspiring to big things not in his line—wants to be of the lateratti, mayhap. He has passed his name in the middle, according to the Bible, but he is Johnson, a very proper departure for a man with the means. He used to sign his name as John A. Johnson; that was all right until he played Wellington to win the game, that time he has done much toward earning the title of J. Arthur Johnson, Gent. GREAT BASEBALLL LEAGUE IS PROPOSED FOR THE SOUTH. There is some talk of the organizing of a new baseball club in New Orleans, headed by the Hon. Walter L. Cohen, with Charles Stevens, the ex-manager of the New Orleans baseball club, and for that. Hope it will be a success, and make manager and owner Frank Polambo of the New Orleans, get a hustle to him. Providing Robertson don't accept his offer from the Kansas City Royal Giants, or if he does, he will be club out of a great deal, for we surely missed his help last season. And with Wiley, another iron hitter, Handy back back stopper, Horton St. Wilson, Capt. Walker back first Wilson, 3rd in garden, Stevens in left garden, James in center, Bartholomew general utility, Ephraim, catcher. And as Sunny Jim will manage Kansas City Royal Giants next season, Travis Cagle, Trade Coach, pitcher for the East looks good to George Robertson. No doubt Handy may stick in New Orleans this coming season. And Robertson play with the Royals of New York Beach Beach, the winter we may not have the opportunity to see him on the mound, for Harry Buckner will steal him away from us. CUBAN CATCHERS KEPT TY COBE FROM STEALING. There is nothing to it—Ty Cobb is the marvel of the baseball world. Send him to Japan, France or the Philippine islands and he would pummel the horsehide just about as hard as he does in the United States. He gave ample proof of this on the 'Tigers' recent trip to Havana, Cuba. Ty batted .385 in the American league last season and led the Tigers at bat in the games against the Cubans with a mark of .370, making seven hits in nine times at bat in five games. Cobb, who is one of the stars of the American league in stealing bases, tried to puffer against Gonzales and Petway no less than six times in the five games and fell victim of their great throwing every time. He did not steal a base. George Moriarity was the only Tiger who could steal on the Cubans with any degree of success. His record was seven bases in twelve games. Sam Crawford batted .360, Moriarity .306, O'Leary .280, McIntyre .250, Schaefer .235, Tom Jones .186, Stanage .175, Casey .166, Mullin .136, Summers .118, and Willetts .000. Three of the Havana players excelled Cobb at the bat, Lloyd batting .500, Johnson .412, and Petway .390. Moran, of the Havanas, batted .333, and Mendez, of the Almendares, .300. Cobb was the only player on the three teams to make a home run. Crawford cracked out two triples and Cobb, McIntyre and Mullin each one. O'Leary, Crawford, Tom Jones and McIntyre were the only Tigers to make doubles in the twelve bames. Cabrera, of the Almendares, was the lone Cuban player to make a triple. Havana players made six doubles and the Almendares three. This is evidence in itself of how difficult it is for the players to place the ball safely for extra bases. The Detroit players stole fourteen bases in all to twelve for the Cubans. The paths at the ball park in Havana are sandy which makes the going very heavy. The Cubans look upon Moriarity as a veritable wizard in stealing bases.—Exchange. DEMOCRATIC JUDGE GIVES HOPE TO NEGROES. The Supreme Court of Oklahoma (Dem.) handed down a decision recently which was to the effect that the refusal to select Negroes as jurors because of their race was reversible error and remanded the Paul Smith case. This calls our attention to the fact that a Republican candidate for county office asked to be excused from jury service because Negroes were on the jury. The Democratic Supreme Court is laps ahead of such Republicans, and here we see the reason why Negroes are refusing to vote for Republican candidates who have the disease negrophobia, and vote for Democrats who are fair. The Oklahoma Supreme Court has made many decisions that came as a surprise to our people, who Cheney's Expectorant—a quick relief for Coughs, Colds and Gripppe. All Druggista, 25c. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER have always believed that a court composed of Democrats could not give justice to a Negro, but our court has proved the contrary to be true, and that they have regard for their oath of office and pride in their calling as lawyers. A few more such decisions will place our people away over in the doubtful column. How could any of us vote against any set of judges who give a square deal in court and vote for a Republican like Barricklow, who signs a petition to keep Negroes from jury service.—The Muskegue Climeter. Oh, yes, give the Democrats a chance and they may not prove to be the bears we have been taught that they were. If one will be real fair, eminently fair, he will see much that calls for a line of action, or has called for it in the past, that has not been so much out of harmony with conditions. Human nature is pretty much the same, and we may readily agree that when all white men of whatever political persuasion, in any particular section, get together on a proposition, that the matter is worth looking into. It is not like white men to be agreeing unanimously on policies or anything like it. That they do agree is based on something all-compelling, as they conceive it, and this conception is based on actual happenings or what actually threatens. We as a race must learn to give and take, must learn the philosophy of the race struggle. Mr. Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, thought the Negroes did not understand the philosophy of the American wage worker as propounded by the unions. He was mistaken if he was quoted correctly. The philosophy, if it can thus be dignified, is very, very simple. When it is said that the idea is to conserve the American workman, all is said—meaning, in detail, shorter hours, the best possible wage in the interest of the individual, and his dependents at home—Mary in the vineclad cottage, her sisters and brothers. The philosophy of the race struggle is far different. Even the howling mob does not understand it, white men that they be, that compose it. Races have ever been hostile, since the days when Atilla and his brother barbarians swooped down on Rome, or Hengst and Horsa fought for the divided carcass of the Briton in the interest of that greater country to-day—England and those near constituents. Clans and cliques and petty nations who mutually hated has been the world's program rather than otherwise. Even the same nations were in factions. "Harling abode by Harling," and Johnson by Johnson, we may say, whose interests did not extend much beyond the family groups, and which groups defended these interests against other groups, and so forth, showing that the early people ever nurtured in strife after having been born to the narrow kingdom of selfishness—the family—finally the nation. America has not known this kind of thing in that fierceness of which it was noted at the beginning. But America is not without its touch, and while the Negro is the butt of total attack, yet the other races occasionally show their teeth. And wasn't it Professor Jordan who said that wherever we may find an individual divorced of his native beach, there you would find the traits characterized him at home, be he man, Englishman, Frenchman or Negro? Such being the case, the warlike spirit of race antipathy is there softened, modified, of course, but there in the essence, ready to become flamboyant at the needy moment. In the language of the well-known text, if the righteous are scarcely saved, where will the ungodly appear? The point, we hope, is clear; and it will be if we know racial relations in the sense of race perfection, measured not only by personal physical charms, but also by accomplishments. The first are those, as the world concedes it, that stand first in the test. Is it necessary to make application? Not at all. So we may be patient with profit. Let some things work along according to the notion of those that can do things, in the meantime doing everything that will accelerate and nothing that retards, and we opine that things will clear up considerably.
