NUMBER 23 THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE NOW TURNED TOWARD CHICAGO MANY SOCIAL FUNCTIONS ARE PLANNED The Anderson Banquet Marks an Epoch in Chicago's Social Affairs—Death of Jackson Gordon—Big Musical Given at Quinn Chapel—The Social Whirl. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill., June 6—The eyes of the population are now turned toward the city of Chicago. Within the next week or so, delegates from every state in the union will attend the convention of the greatest Republican conventions that has ever been held in this country. From all reports, the fight between Taft and Roosevelt will bring the largest attendance ever and among this number will be a great many of the most prominent in view of this fact, arrangements are now being made to entertain the strangers within the gates. Two very big functions have been planned: one a staging area for the annual military ball at its head and the annual military ball of the Eighth regiment on June 18 at the Seventh regiment armory. During the same week, the Assembly club, one of the leading social clubs, is expected to visit the delegates. Great Preparations Col. John Marshall and Adi, Louie B. Anderson are making great preparations for the tour of the city at the bail. Each delegate will be complimented and this function is expected to be the grandest military affair ever given in Chicago. The entire regiment will be present, the Eisenhower regiment band, under the direction of "Bill" Berry, will furnish music for the dance. Only will the occasion be graced by the delegates, their wives and sweethearts, but the citizens of Chicago will be out in great numbers. People living in all sections of Cook county and many prominent men from out of town will be in town to dance will be given seats in the balcony and boxes to view the dancing and drilling. The Governor of the state, major general and staff have been invited, while the governor of Col. John R. Marshall will be there. Already the "Smart Set" of the city is making preparations to have new gowns, in point of dress and style, this summer for the parade. Col. John R. Marshall, Col. John R. Marshall, from Florida, are now seen on the scene and expect their comrades from their states to join them soon. They report that the great majority of the rank and file of the party favors the nomination of Roosevelt, yet will be delegates announcing another view. The Anderson Banquet On Tuesday night of last week, a banquet was given at Lett's cafe, in honor of the Rikkei Harry Olson and Judie W. Anderson, Maxwell Winn G. Anderson as the promoter. Many of the most distinguished judges of the 1980s were present, and the investment in political, professional and business life were present and took part on the speaking program. It was a most delightful occasion. The judges were than ever more personally and socially, a number of the leading men of the race in this city, history, music, menu, decorations and good food. The evening. The vey highest compliments were paid Mr. Anderson for having so splendidly entertained the judges in a beautiful fashion that will be long remembered by the present. Judge Olson's Speech. Judge Olson, the honored guest of the evening, delivered a fine speech. He is one of the most honored judges of the Chicago bar and is chief justice of the Municipal Court. Judge Olson told about the municipal courts of the city. He spoke of the extraordinary power of the court and the broad and fair attitude in the judges should take in the administration of the justice. Commenting upon the race question, he quoted Edition of Yiliard, of the New York Post, on the education of the New Yorker in the States which was in substance that the states in that section were not doing what they should do in the manner of Negro education. He said the conditions were not bright for the Negro in the South and deplored the lynchings and other evils perpetrated upon the Negro people. Notwithstanding the past marvelous progress of the American Negro, he located for him a high and lofty destiny. He urged them to get money and property and gave ideas so often announced by the great Tuskeef Educator. Mr. Chief Justice Olson is the kind of a man demanded of the times. The writer believes that he not only has the ability to know the right as it effects the fundamental and essential duties of citizenship of all the American people, but he has the courage to stand by their maintenance when the rights of the Negro are concerned. In these times of cowardice and indifference, this is a distinctive F. L. Barnett's Address: Attorney P. I. Barnett delivered one of the highest addresses of the evening, although he was not announced on the program. Mr. Barnett is one of the leading lawyers in the state and country, with fourteen years of experience as assistant State's Attorney of Cook county. The weight of his remarks became the more forcible when we reflect upon the success of his long career. One of the factors that made him successful was the money as a possible solution of the black man's lills. Mr. Barnett, however, was of the opinion that while n some instances, money would alleviate the Negro's condition, it would not alleviate the fact that in other instances money but aggravated the troubles of the race. This was a fine point and deserves to be emphasized, not only among colored people, but also among white people, there is a problem of the races in this country, it is a problem of principle and not of dollars. And only those who have been in the white community and the courage to stand for it, will show whatever to approach the problem. Major R. R. Jackson. Major R. R. Jackson, of the Eighth Illinois regiment National Guard, delivered a very happy address. He extolled the bravery of the soldiers, and part the black man played all wars and closed with a magnificent tribute to the soldiers of the Eighth regiment. Another speaker that was in fine spirits and told about the Negro decreasing his illiteracy years. Mr. Alain was senator from Louisiana, for two years, and participated in the great political battles of that section when the great Pinchback was one of the dominant spirits of Editor Turner Editor S. B. Turner, of the Illinois Idea, discussed "Will the Negro Support the Republican Ticket?" The remarks of Mr. Anderson were based on the point. For reasons given he thought the Negroes generally would support the Republican ticket this fall and then branched off and "took a shot at what he could well afford to, to make his criticism for the reason that he reserves unto himself the right to act as the necessities of resistance may demand. He is a clever man, fortified with intelligence and he made a clever speech. Judges Tuttle, Fry, Walker, Maxwell and Brothers and Senator Brady were among the queters with felicitous remarks. Mr. Cary B. Lewis spoke on "The Negro in journalism," he Illinois Idea says that "he has his own kind of common and common sense, which beakes for the brilliant young man a bright and happy future." Anderson is well known here and in many other sections as the habean corpus attorney, and recently was the cause of Mrs. Howard's release for being in and out of chickens in Tennessee and the court. He acted of securing her punishment when Mr. Anderson came to her aid. Mr. Anderson received a letter to Miss Delphia Boger to correct him. They reside at 3550 Prattle avenue. Jackson Gordon's Death. The death of Mr. Jackson Gordon removed from life's activity one of the most prominent citizens of the city. He died in his apartment at the Wellington dats. He ill only a short while, dying of appendicitis. He came to Chicago about forty years ago, and was sixty-two years old. He was engaged in politics and at the time his death was in the assessor's office. He was a member of Grace Presbyterian church, having held office in the same church as his father. He was held from the church, of which he was valuable member, last Sunday. Prominent citizens were honorary pall bearers. A carriage full of flowers were brought to the home and laid around the casket in the church. The pastor of the church, preached the sermon. He extolled the life and character of the deceased in the highest manner. He spoke of their close and intimate relationship with the pastor of the church, Y. M. C. A., and the interest he took in all things that redounded for the good of the race. He leaves a wife, two brothers and three sisters. Dr. Daniel H. Williams returned to the city on Sunday from St. Louis, where he was the guest of the Tri-State Medical association which was in session at the hospital. He noted surgeon held special clinics at Provident hospital. The meeting, according to the latest reports from St. Louis, was a fine one and those in attendance were greeted with pleasure with the new medical operation advanced by the Chicago surgeon.

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD ARTIST. Negro Boy Attracts Attention of His Teachers By His Drawings. Special to THE FREEMAN. CONNERSVILLE, Ind., May 28.—William Rihinehart, colored, a pupil in the Fifth Grade, has drawn attention of his teachers by his drawings. He is eleven years old, and is said by his parents to have been drawing pictures of animals, and imagination runs to common objects, such as horses, cats, dogs and chickens, and with colored pencils the ad is able to excel. Excellent art sense of the show is shown in his work. He draws cats with arched backs and upraised paws, dogs at play and chickens scared by them. He had no incidentally other than that incidentally given him in the school room. HATTIESBURG. MISS. The Walters' Club will give a smoker Monday night at the residence of Pete Farmer . . . Mr. N.

He said, The other night I had a tiger that broke. It fell out that broke. At the same time a cat chased a mouse across the room. The mouse dodged the cast and creep up where the bottle broke, lapped up the water, and looked warlike and made a dash for the cast dozing on the hearth, and attacked the cat with such furry that the cat ran. Why, a drop of that stuff on a rabbit's tongue would be so much better than dog's face. Look out for that stuff, boys. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY—SIX MONTHS, 85c; ONE YEAR, $1.50. THE NATION'S CAPITAL BISHOP THIRKIELD GIVEN ROYAL WELCOME ON RETURN HOME Final Arrangements Made for the Shepherd Ministerial Conference - Major John R. Lynch in the Capital - Miss Jones Triumphs at Buffalo. Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.—Bishop Wilbur Patterson Thirkield returned to the city last Friday and was given a royal welcome by the faculty and student body of Howard University, as well as by the community at large, all of whom were of the age of 18. The most important of those that has come to him at the hands of the Methodist Episcopal church. His appearance in Andrew Rankin Memorial chapel was the signal for a jubilee. At the meeting of the board of trustees of the diocese, the first Saturday, Dr. Thirkield presented his resignation as president, to take effect on or before June 10. At the unanimous and earnest solicitation of the board, he consented to serve the larger interests of the University during the meeting. On the same day, Dr. Thirkield will be held, at which time it is hoped to elect his successor. A committee, made up of Chief Justice Stanton J. Peelle, of the Court of Claims, Dr. Thirkield, Rev. Charles H. Richards, Dr. Marcus H. R. R. of the Board of Trustees, Dr. John R. Francis and John T. Emlen, was designated to look over the field and nominate a president, reporting at the meeting on the 28th. Justice Job Barnard, Dr. John R. Francis, was appointed to be board president, the board of trustees present. The following trustees were present: Rev. A. F. Beard, New York City; Rev. Charles Wood, Judge G. W. Atkinson, Chief Justice Peelle, Dr. John R. Francis, Rev. Dr. Richard S. R. R. of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Francis J. Grhike, William V. Cox, Henry E. Pellev, Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner, of Philadelphia; Dr. J. H. N. Waring, Rev. Dr. Moorland, J. C. Napier, Dr. Charles B. Purvis, of Brookfield, New York; Dr. T. Emlen, of Philadelphia; Dr. Wheatland, of Newport, R. L. and Dr. Thirkield. President Thirkield's Fine Report. The report of President Thirkield covered all departments of the university, and included the detailed reports from the deans of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Teachers' College, the Schools of Theology, Medicine and Law, and also the Academy and the Commercial College of Education. The report was written by a group of university, involving extraordinary expense in connection with enlargement of the teaching force and in repairs of buildings, brought about a deficit of $2,000, which will be made up next year. Secretary G. W. Cook reported the buildings and grounds to be in better condition than at any previous period in the history of the college. The report was unanimously adopted expressing deep regret over the loss of Dr. Thirkield as the directing head of the institution and voicing hearty congratulation upon the wider field of activity and influence that his selection, as bishop opens to him. As a further mark of the regard in which he is held by the trustees, the new school-era construction which was possible by his energies was named "Thirkield Hall." The petition proposing the name was signed by the seven deans and the entire faculty of the university. The great work of Dr. Thirkield in the six years of his administration was highly extolled. To fill vacancies on the board of trustees the following new men were selected: Walter H. Page, editor of The World's Work, and Henry A. Hubbard, treasurer of the American Missionary Association, New York City. Howard's Presidency and the Board of Education. With Howard's presidency vacant and a possible vacancy on the board of education, there are candidates galore among the nationa patrons of education. Last week we noted the consideration of the names of Kelly Miller, George W. Cook, L. B. Moore, W. V. Tunnell, E. L. Parks, Judge Terrell, Prof. DuBois and Roscoe Conkling Bruce for the Howard presidency. To this list may be added Dr. F. J. Grimke, although he is said to have indicated a preference for the remaining as part of the Fifthth Street Presbyterian church; Dr. Pezavia O'Connell, professor of Hebrew in the university, and Dr. J. E. Shepard, the head of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C. There is a unity of feeling that a colored man should succeed Dr. Thirkield, if the "right man" can only be found and agreed upon. The three years' term of Prof. W. V. Tunnell as a member of the local board of education expires June 30. He is a candidate for reappointment. If a change is to be made, however, it is understood that Henry C. Tyson, a substantial man of affairs, William L. Houston, former grand master of the G. U. O. O. F., a practicing lawyer of fine attainments and public spirit, is suggested as suitable material. The selection is made by the Justices of the District Supreme Court and the matter is likely to be closed up at any date. The Shepard Ministerial Conference. Final arrangements for the ministerial conference at Durham, N. C., have been made by James A. Shepard, and a delegation of delegates of the clergymen of this vicinity will be in attendance. All delegates will be the guests of the National Religious Training School for the week beginning July 6. The school will be advertised in the press of the country. and the scope they will cover is well defined. The scope of the law will lead in the discussions, and out of them is sure to come great good for the ministers. The minister should be at Durham July 6. Major Lynch at the Capitol. Major John R. Lynch, retired, formerly paymaster in the regular army, has been spending some time in the city on business. A mild sensation was created the other day at the south end of the capitol when Major Lynch appeared at the door of the House of Representatives and presented his card for admittance to the floor. The guardian of the portal did not know what to do, and a hurried consultative with Speaker Clark ensued. Major Lynch was generally not so soon to have had a such a fact that he had once been a member of the House, representing for a number of years the old "shoestring district" of Mississippi, and was, therefore, entitled to the privileges of the floor of the chamber. The Major hobnobbed for an hour or more with the older members, and to the younger set he was a decided novelty. Some of his warlike friends, who had been so with darkened brow, and gave signs of relief when he took his departure, one of the colored veterans of the House staff remarked: "I can't just realize that twenty-eight years ago this same man, Lynch, was temporary chairman of the Republican national convention. Times certainly have changed." The veteran shook his head saucily as the whitened locks of the house made his second leave disappeared in the bend of the corridor. For years, under the Harrison administration, Major Lynch was Auditor for the Navy department, and Judge Robert H. Terrell was his deputy. Miss Jones Triumphs in Buffalo Miss Clarice Jones, daughter of Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, has again scored a triumphant 10th, and has special invitation of the Guild club, of St. Augustine's Catholic church in Buffalo, N. Y., Miss Jones took part in a musical at that place. She played three selections on the piano, and each of them was enthusiastically encored. She was the central figure of the splendid entertainment, and Buffalo is ringing with praise of her skill. Miss Jones graduates with honor this week from the Cornell University of Music at the N. Y. College of Music, and has gone to Ithaca with a docteur in the monies. Miss Jones is to establish a conservatory of music here, for the instruction of the Negro in the higher types of music. Appropriations "Cut" by House Bill. The Sundry Civil Bill, reported to the House Monday by Chairman Fitzgerald, of the committee on appropriations, carries $6,000 for the Nurses' Home at Freedmen's hospital, $32,000 for salaries and $26,000 for subsistence. Various appropriations desired for improvements were denied. Howard University fared well. The committee refused to authorize the construction of a library for men and an assembly hall, both which have long been sorely needed. It is expected that the more liberal Senate will re-insert some of the very important items necessary to the well-being of these two useful institutions. Negroes Have Roddenbury's "Goat." A "Battle Royal" at Chicago The scene of the political conflict shifts now to Chicago. There is every evidence that there will be a "battle royal" be- gings in the city, and the adherents of Colonel Roosevelt. There will be aggression all along the line. Secretary Charles D. Hilles, than whom there is not a more skilful pol- icy, will be in the face of a charge of the Taft interests, assisted by that clever tactician, William B. McKinley, and Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, will be on hand to give the party a chance to win the Roosevelt side. Director Joseph M. Dixon will do the "heavy work" flanked by Ormsby McHarg and Former Recorder John C. Dancy will look after the Negro-American Party's campaign. To a greater extent than its pre-convention campaign, the Negro voters of the country have taken a passionate interest in the behalf of individual candidate-members, who are likely to be lined up in battle array, a militant force fro Taft or Roosevelt. As yet the result is shrouded in doubt. Both clans claim a majority of the delegates, but the nom- ber of the party has not yet been determined by the voters classes as "uninstructed, doubtful or uncertain." Both of the leading candidates declare their intention to stand firm to the end, which will be the result of the election. The fight has been so vigorously conducted that the life of cleavage between their supporters has been pretty generally exposed, and the political future of the party has been a strong one. Officials of the high-salaried class appointed by Roosevelt and held over by Taft are visibly embarrassed, and the rank and file, covered by the political pressure, have been so unrestful that take dangerous risks in perilous activity. It can be stated, however, that the colored Republicans can be depended upon to be loyal to the party whoever the party is, and to be loyal to the people who Republican regime is of greater consequence to our people than the personal fortunes of any individual. They would regard Democratic success in the nation as a great success, and the party would watch the outcome with more anxiety than the colored Republicans, north, east, south and west. Preferences they doubtless have, but they will stand by the win- ing of the party's battle royal and elect him in November. Extends a cordial greeting to the ministers of all denominations to be the guests of the meeting on July 13, 1912, for the purpose of discussing the following and kindred questions: What is the moral condition of the people of your community?

To Whom It May Concern: My dear readers, you are missing half of your life in misery and shame, worrying with a man that will not 'try once to please you, cherish or comfort you, and hold a bright light of good moral conduct to you. I will be happy. Now, listen; if you have sighed, worried, cried and pleaded with him, and to no avail, you pray and let Madame McNairdey advise you. I know you will never regress and around was a drunkout and around was a drunkout and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman. I took up courage and let her hear from me. oddly, she said on statues that I have a model man every respect. I will praise this woman as long as I have breath. She made my husband a man, a husband, a gentleman. I am now making my own volunteer statement because this lady has caused me to be so happy. I would like so much to give you my name, but I hope you know why. I went with a young man who was a teacher, and we were twice engaged and he would disappoint me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and have been for near three years. He is married to me, and I am his months ago of this advice and he would not agree with me until he lost his job, and then made up his mind, and do you know that he is the job of his life by insisting the No matter what you want to do or know, let her hear from you, and I vow you to help her. I have been living that she is sent of God to do just what she is doing, and you never hear of a thing ugly that she has done. I visited her during the K. of P. Supreme School, and I am a Christian and a leader in a good many church clubs. We chatted a good deal of such things. I find her very entertaining. I am, as ever her friend, a Christian and a leader in a good To Whom It May Concern. I have always been one of those that did not live in the past of this unglory about four years ago I had a great trouble and it cost me almost every time I had, and my mother asked me one day to tell some of this trouble to this woman that we read so much as I could see. Mother says, "I feel that she can help you." I had to laugh with tears in my eyes, for I was in jail; then finally I said, "Suit yourself. Anything now, so I'll go out and go. So let this woman hear from her and about me. We never can forget what this woman said in reply. She said in substance, "If you will pray and trust God, I don't do the rest." And I had to tell to me, and forever, I was called to trial, and every witness that could be found spoke in my behalf, and those who did not could be found as they did. I had to tell to me and then set free. Do you blame me for saying she is a power unknown, to help those who seek her aid? I am now doing business for myself and making good things for her. I have done this for four months, and shall always divide my last time with her. I am her friend at all times. G. A. Jacksonville, Fla. Thousands are flocking to see this wonderful lady daily.

Roosevelt is all right for an unlimited monarchy. It strikes us that a game President is the unexpected in American politics. Geo. L. Knox, of The Freeman, will be one among Taft thousands at Chicago. The colored brothers are looking unusually bright right along here. O, you watermelon days! These are June days! Feels rather autumnish in the evenings. Makes sleeping pleasant at one's own home. Let Mr. Roosevelt have the nerve to say, above board, I am for Negroes for offices just like I am for white men for offices, according to services rendered and according as they stand the civil service tests. Woodrow Wilson, Champ Clarke and the rest of them, are as mum as an oyster on the question that the Negroes are raging over. Why not put them to test, especially those who swear they will have none of them, meaning Taft or Roosevelt. The schools are pouring out their products wholesale. These enter on their real problems of life. Will they solve them? Yes, some of them. Others will be cast among the rule's exceptions. A hard, hard fate from which there seems to be no appeal. Cheers for the successful ones, tears for those that are broken on the wheel. We have never contested the right of Theodore Roosevelt to have dismissed the whole U. S. Army if he had seen fit to do so. We said so at the time of the dismissing of the Negro troops, and because he was commander-in-chief of the army. We insisted, however, that an injustice had been done many Negro soldiers, since all of them could not have shot up Brownsville. Negroes, more or less prominent, throughout the country condemned the ex-President, insisting that he had no right to make the wholesale discharge. Furthermore, they maintained that the whole race was insulted. And it was something like that. Notwithstanding Mr. Roosevelt's right as the head of the army, he struck the cruelest blow that has ever befallen Negroes in their history as a freed people. The whole world saw the race blue penciled in the instance; scaled down just that much in the eyes of civilization. This fact will not be successfully contested. Such being the case, we cannot see why Mr. Roosevelt should be preferred over Mr. Taft. It is clearly up to the conservative forces of the country to see to it that the foundation of the country is not in any way impaired. Mr. Roosevelt and friends are leaving nothing undone to swing the country away from its first principles. They are yelling persecution when Mr. Roosevelt has been the most considered man, the most favored man in all of our history. This very favoritism has spoiled him, turned his head, until he feels to be the child of destiny—the only one to lead the republic through possible shoals or shallows. It is a monstrous wrong to play on the people, identifying Roosevelt with Abraham Lincoln solely for the purpose of making political capital. Roosevelt and Lincoln parallel at no point of their public or private life. In fact, they are as opposed as the north and south poles. Lincoln was true to every American principle; he was modest, unassuming; he was an executive according to the Constitution, according to tradition and according to the sentiment of the people. His only jarring note was that of his stand for the emancipation of the human family, a thing consistent with all men when under the influence of the angels of their better matures. Mr. Roosevelt assaults representative government, seeking to have it vested in one individual at Washington. He will take the proxies himself, using them ad lib, and we, the modern King Lears, will go abegging for our erstwhile bounty. ROOSEVELT CANNOT IMPROVE OUR PRINCIPLES OF GOVERNMENT. The fundamental principles of our government will not be readily improved on, cannot be improved in the interest of a wholly free, a wholly self-governing people. These have in contemplation the greatest possible liberty of the individual consistent with the liberties of every other individual; the right of self-government, facilitated through representation as a thing of expediency rather than the surrender of a perogative; the abso- lute reliance on the integrity of the different divisions of government and the individuals composing them, holding them as our further selves, rather than something totally foreign, as is insinuated by the Roosevelt teaching. The appeal to the ballot is the effective, final and thoroughly efficacious way of remedying any evil, whatsoever that manifests on the body politic. We take it, we, the laity, the most of us who rightly observe, that it is the high business of those who lead, or who would lead, to steer clear of anything, of all things that tend against greater principles. The people often lose sight of them in their momentary exultation at the glowing words of this or that idol. Then is a most dangerous moment. Napoleon was in decline at Elbe, yet he knew that if he could show up on the streets of Paris that the Old Guard would fly to his eagles, not withstanding his capacity for harm—it was political idolatry; nothing less. He seized an occasion; showed upon the streets of Paris. 'Cest Le Emreuer!' And the world knows the rest. Most beautiful historical situations followed—Moscow and misery, decimated battalions, an enraged world, Blucher, Helena, night. A fearful toll was paid, and by those who have ever paid the wages of political sin—the rapacity of ambitious men. The humbler hundreds of thousands paid the toll in all ways known to the altar of political sacrifice. The political serenity of this country is threatened if Mr. Roosevelt gets in from Elbe. The old guard will doubtless rally since he has proven an attractive figure in the affairs of men. But he has done his best, but by no means his worst. We should be spared the "spectacle" of the wholly unforeseen in governmental affairs. That is to say, with Mr. Roosevelt's new nationalism and other tentative, subversive principles; the nation for once is at sea as to its future, viewing from the standpoint of his possible success. Business concerns seek to see the beginning from the end. Revolutionary methods are perilous and will not be tried unless sanctioned by the best judgment. Governments that are liberal, progressive and successful are flirting with dissolution when listening to the siren voice of patent physicians. A government for, by and of the people cannot be improved. HE'D DO IT AGAIN. Let us see. Mr. Roosevelt turned the Negroes out of the army wholesale. The other day, over in Ohio, he said that he had nothing to take back, and that he would do the thing over again. Mr. Taft has been careful in appointing colored men to office where there was likelihood of racial friction resulting. To be real honest and real plain, the President has been trying to lessen the breach between the north and the south. In doing so he has denied colored men office to some extent in the south, to a noticeable extent, we may say for the sake of fairness. He, however, was not malignant; showling plainly that he was not satisfying a passion of hate when he advanced Lewis to the highest position ever held by Negroes. Many other offices were given colored men, but according to his program, where the least friction would result. If we could n some way eliminate ourselves and see the situation as it presents to others we would conclude that there are extinuting circumstances. His His southern policy has been against the race, but merely incidentally, because there is a race question. Mr. Taft is a part of it as the colored people and the white people are a part of it. He thinks to help the situation by a certain line of action; it inflames the colored people. Had he did otherwise he would have inflicted the white people. He is a creature of the people governing along their lines of dictation. What the present President has done, others have also done, the more recent ones. All have been very careful about the appointments, proceeding along the line of the least resistance. The present day presents the race question no differently. Not one presidential candidate has a new policy to advance. "What I would do if I were President," says LaFollette; but he is talking about trusts. Roosevelt, it strikes us, would have an excellent opportunity to earn the Negro votes—not to purloin them—if he should announce that he will appoint Negroes wholesale in the south. He is careful to say that he would again turn the Negroes out of the army. Why does he not say, I will put Negroes in office in the southern states and thus earn their everlasting gratitude and their votes at Chicago. Why not put it on Taft? Why do not the Negroes who have shown such lively interest in his candidacy put him to the test? They are yelling at Taft because of his careful methods of appointing Negroes to office in the south, while Roosevelt goes unassailed, notwithstanding he flung the glove in their face when he turned a Negro army out of service. The mild disposition of Mr. Taft warrants as good treatment as the Roosevelt fervor, if not better. LITTLE ROCK, ARK.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ALL THE NEGRO CHURCHES Are Given a Glorious Chance to Show and Prove What Spirit it is that has Control of Them, and Each are Offered an Equal Privilege. BY ARCHBISHOP EVANS, D. G And now, as you, all of you, churches and all of you church members and all of you church members and all of you dark, black and gravel and most of you record, I am now going to give you one more narrow and easy and equal chance to deliver yourself and yourselves to the church despair. Directly speaking, I have never asked any of you churches or preachers for a gift of any money or help in any way, and I have never asked nineteen years I have been talking to you. I have invited volunteer help from you and all of you, in order that I might see what kind of a spirit it is that is being taught in the church as professors of Christ; and now I have plainly seen your li-will towards the voice that has cried unto you so long and to which not a one of you churches has responded to the voice that you heard calling you! Yea. I have the authority to dictate and give command to His elect that they perish not with the wicked. Yea, obedience to the Righteous forever and ever. But I have seen that you churches are not willing to honor me, but you are willing to honor choose, be chosen, and this shows the deceency of your religion. This wisdom. No political leader can possibly deliver you from despair and from ruination. It has to be one like me, who knows the word and the word concerning you and the times and the book I am now about to send out to the True Righteous will convince them that I am the best posted speaker for God in human construction, and they will that I have no equal among men as a true leader for them. You churches are not equal in God's sight in spirit. And I will demand that you an equal in each denomination of you an equal in and by this I will be able to see if you can equally accept the privilege I bring to you, or will you equally reject it all. You know what is to know you, and know exactly what is to know you, and just what is to go become of ARCHBISHOP JUSTUS J. EVANS D.G. Founder of the Supreme Church of Glory.

Chief Rube Foster and his American Giants downed the A. B. C's for two games, including a win over the Northwestern lot. Daugherty nipped the first game in a ten-inning 7-5-to-5 victory in the second game by a score of 6 to 1. The A.s. played a good game, despite the lousy juniors and started off at a fast pace, finishing first in a game, scoring three runs, and that's all. AT THE UNION THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS. The quartet has become a favorite in Indianapolis; it is more than a quartet of singers, but also a singing feature. Constant revising the hard off and adding on, has greatly improved it. The presentation is thoroughly enriched, some parts of it making tremulous hits. Fred Davis, comedian, is manager; Clarence Chase, straight; Phil Johnson, comedian; and John Davis is Davis is also the basso of the four; his rich voice is fine support for the singing which sounds, at times, like a great symphony. Then the harmony is superb. Davis also RE KBR WAS D ON CARE THE CAROLINA FOUR does a bit of his female character, seen at other times. His "Rock Pile" song is an all-around actor and a hard worker. He helps the fun along Chase is lively on his feet; he knows what to do. He has a good lead voice and is heard to advantage in the quartette singing. Phil Johnson, Chinaman, helps out in the Chinatown situation, where the fun can be made more body here—little horseplay, little singing, dancing, shooting craps, etc. Johnson is a very tallative Chinman, but he is not tall. Clarence Foster, the Cholly Boy, adds to the fun. He is good tenor, remind one of Henry Troy when singing "Consolations." Jimmy the act is pleasing as a white, fun maker and built for that purpose—to chase away the blues. The mayor of Indianapolis was present at their appearance at the Union. He made a pleasing reference to their work. Mamie Payne is also known to the Indianapolis theater goers. She is one of those delightfully tall girls, winesome with delightful hair, her hat off of your head just the same. Her Heir and effective; they are, "Play Some On Your Violin," "Ragging the Baby to Sleep," and "In Sunny Spain" Her first individual who didn't care, rather tough individual who didn't care, she did. She winds up as a most beautiful senorita of Sunny Spain, dancing to the tinkling tambourine She shows up to her dance, and proper. Her movements are graceful and interesting, notwithstanding the fact that she sometimes gets a foot higher than her knees, very pleasing number. Her wardrobe is good. She was applauded cheerfully. Miss Payne was recently called from FIRE, New York City on account of the illness of her mother. While there she appeared at the Crescent with her usual success. Song Hits—"Please Don't Take My Baby Grand"—Honey Moon The bunch is new to Indianapolis, but it started off as old timers, with dash throughout their performance through the band and singing incident to such acts, the four put on a pretty little dance that looked good from the audience. The new elements were applauded. But the audience gives it to Helen Bumbray when she sings "Please Don't Take My Baby Grand." She puts this over in a surreal song with a splendid voice and suitable gestures. Who will also put over a good one in her "Honey Moon Love" song. Earl Buril sings "Going Home" in an amazing great big baritone voice which he uses to affect in his solo work and in the quartet singing. In the closing Buril takes the part of an aged Negro, proving his charlie Myers an art around performer. Charlie Myers is an art around performer. Mercy On a Married Man" in good form. Rube, of course, was a drawing card, and his hurling was the feature of the Rockyork infield of the Windsor City towers, and in periods the chief was calm and at home, and played his game with apparent ease. Long ago experience in the diamond dust must have well at hand the fine points, and he has the best known ball player of color in history. When you think of baseball celebrities you know the Rube is a good-natured, big warrior. His control over his aggregation is somewhat unusual for a team not within the basement a league and its laws. When he gives his team the opportunity to obey it and players receiving them. To hear him tell a player what to do, one might think the player) is learning. The chief goes on to certain occasions, and to hit certain occasions, and to send it. In other words and where to send it. In other words, he is the engineer of his crew in him. He is a strictest sense. He has a smile, a laugh that he uses to issue out when he occasion presents itself. He was a strong team this year, and from the roar of four games with the Chicagoans took, prosperity point to a winning streak for the season. CINCINNATI (OHIO) NOTES The Pekin has a fair bill as an offering this week. Williams and Brown have a funny little sketch, while Miss Lucy Shepherd scored heavily with a couple of new ones. Notes. Miss Bessie Hocker is the big noise at the Pekin matinees. Messrs. Ollie Dempsey, Henry M. Higgins, Sr., and William Anderson were the colored delegates to the Ohio Republican convention. Officer John Samples, who has been a member of the police force of this city for twenty-five years, died at his residence 2826 Preston street, June 4, from a heart attack. His native home was in Mdway, Ky. As he was known as a premier jockey, he was known as a thoroughbred racer Longford low in all his races. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, being an honorary member of Supreme Council, 33 degree. He was buried in military honors by the police department. His name appears on the police Roll of Honor. He leaves a widow and many friends to mourn his loss. He shows his cleverness also in the closing in his old, man in prison. The four appear in the closing half of farce comedy where the deacon was trying to make some excuse for not getting the church collection money to the bank. But Bunny Buhn takes the characters of two members of the congregation, of the amen corner, judging by their plain appearance. The judges miss of a few moments ago are now sitting sedate in their severely plain attire. They are interested in the whereabouts, for more or less amusing accusation, and they get things fixed up and up in for a good time. They got the hands all through the quartet recently closed at Heud's Theater, Cincinnati, Gomb's time. Washington and Jones. Whistling Novelty—An Operatic Bit. This act and its work are known to the best people all over the country since the team has done very much to improve the team. Jones are real classy people and world of the reception tendered them as such. Washington has a gift as well as having a lot of fields and forest so cleverly that the birds themselves would be deceived. He has studied them, thus making his imitations faithful. The mocking bird, cane rooster and rooster are among his imitation specialties. His whistling number, "The Marching Kings of Clubs," was nely received. Miss Jones is an accomplished singer the product of a Cleveland, O., conservancy. A Mamie Ray Payne, Danseuse—Spanish Specialty. of music. She shows her culture all through, singing with grace and efficacy, seleccioning songs, "Smile, Smile, Smile," I Love to Live in Loveland, and "Merrily I Roam" she showed her varied abilities as a vocalist, "Merrily I Roam" perhaps was the most classical number. Her beat, tripping pole showed to advantage here. Washington joined in her singing with his splendid voice or whistled a trilling obligation that had the opera touch.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC A. H. By Sylvester Russell Ninth Edition of Frank P. Beorge's Danabegay at the Orkland Music Hall—Miss St. Claire White Waxes as a True Young Genius on Violin. Frank P. George as Bill Sykes again showed himself to be agenue natural actor. The call of Nancy was too highly declarative, but the rest of his work was more formal. He was a new introduction, whose histrionic ability was a light that shined Her reading was scholarly, and while her conception of the character showed her ability, she was not so hard to understand, quite so haggard as it should have been. The climax scene was harshly realistic, but timely. "Temperment versis Soul," a playlet based upon a violin story by William George, was not notable innovation. Mr. George appeared as the violin professor and Miss White as the pupil. Miss White's acting was very much of a surprise, and so great is her ability to help children remind of being an amateur, and as a playwright the same thing can be said. Mr. George in this particular play showed more versatility as an actor than he did with his children breeding. While Mr. George carries an undertone which serves him well, his dialect, as the professor, was uncertain, variegated and osc. to racia lineage, H. Hackey who taught violin, H. Hackey who sang an air from Rossini's "Barber of Seville," with a light, sweet soprano voice that is well cultivated. Her second name is in locato, in which her shading was finished. W. Joe Sheechar did not appear, and Opel D. Cooper, the tenor, who had a slight cold, sang two selections, which sustained his voice. Mary E. Garner, whose work was superb, and Alexander O. Taylor. The orchestra, which consisted of Garfield Wilson and Charles Elgar, violins; A. Steenberg, viola; W. Nealy, flute; W. Brown, piano, and A. James, drums; did good work. William J. Kelley, Sam Fielding and Robert Fisher, of the executive stager, Idaho and the show program of dancing included the eventful joyment. Four Brass Men and Johnnie Fogarty at the Grand- Marsh Craig, Rob- "The Four Brass Men" was a perfect musical attraction which opened at the Grand on Monday night. Simpson, the former manager of the band, Picoleo Jones, an expert piccolo artist, besides Debroite and Williams, experts on the cornet and clarinet, made up a highly musical quartette, which played the finish. Lew La Mar, a ragtime singer and comic monologist, who did not dare to go the limit, made a good impression. The white acts were Johnnie Walker and George Washington, proved to be very clever, and his leading lady, who shared honors with him. His chorus people were also clever, including good trumpet George Paul, an ex-colleague of Lalapalay and a very good reception. Julian and Dyer, funny acrobats, were also on the bill. The second half of last week retained the band's energy, and the bill where she made a distinct hit, and William B. Robinson, who shared the same fortune, Marsh Craig created a sensation in his maneuvers feats for contortion. Of which I Ines and company in a playlet and Jones and Deely found favor. String Beans Again Scores Heavily at the Monogram—Brown and Crosby and Fanny Wise Share Honors in an All-Star Bill. Just a very few words will dismiss the verdict at the Monogram. It was a short week that opened on State Street, St. Mary's May), now the most wonderful, natural and original colored comedian on the American stage, entered upon his secures to the stage, and soon neared to being legitimate than heretofore. Will Brown and Oma Crosby gave a fine legitimate act. The suffragette fled to the United States, their act, as a whole, was legitimate and easily scored on its merits. Fanny Wise, who had the star spot, sang the song "The Woman in the Garden" with vociferous favor. The Abyssinian Duo, Misses Brown and Shelton, two great mezzo soprano-contraitto artists, performed in the scenes. Will Dorsey, himself at the piano, was alone and above board, unaffected and undisturbed, and his work was not marred by carelessness. String players afford to stay with us another week.

I know Mrs. Larkins must feel better after getting away from that hard-huck and hard-knuckle life. I go to Chicago by the city, and Haggy and wife got sent also. The woman took their suit case for rent, and it was funny to see them going with a market basket to the store when they arrived. Nelly Cisco got out and had her things taken from her by the landlady. I am doing quite a bit to went to woo the cook and later got the kitchen set. It was a suey restaurant. I guess you remember it. I hope you are all feeling fine. I am going home in July. I am getting out and going to the store. I still feel as if I did just what I should have done by coming ```markdown ``` out with you. With all the trouble I got some very good schooling that did me good. If you go out next season, you can count on Bone Head if you can use your phone and many chances with you as anybody. I imply and I am glad that some of those big stars had a chance to try and get by, as they always said they could, but had to go to the city to get home. Give my regards to your wife and if I answer to you answer at 222 Seventh avenue, Peoria, or to the Heidelburgh, Peoria. My home address is 47 Fifth avenue, Gloversville, N. Y. Sincerely yours. ARTHUR SIMMONS (Bone Head). Jolly Lolly Larkins' Answer. I do the very best I know how—the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me if I don't? If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.

The chorus was the best imaginable, and is the real feature of the show. Aside from the stars, the specialties that the family were Al Strouder and company in the old man song and dance, "Keep Movin". Frank Jackson, a finished high baritone, assisted by Miss Ethel Marshall, a beautiful soubret, rendered "Goodnight, Maria, and received many encores. This number was also boosted by the Smart Set Quartet. Mr. Ed Tolliver, as Pedro, sang "Mexico." It seemed as though his heart and soul were in this number, and the audience made apparent its unlimited enthusiasm. Clever Mabel Brown displayed her wonderful vocal ability by offering "Indian Maiden"s Love Is True. Mr. Wooten, the celebrated tenor, appeared in this chorus and made the wall ring.

You can get a very good, clear tone from your voice in this man's house. One thinks that their act ought to go where stranger than you, much mistaken in Philadelphia, because you have got to have the goods here. Now, speaking of Mr. Gibson's house, I say that he has the best-kest-pleater theater of the coloured man in the vaudeville show world. I was told that he closed Martin and Motely for what I don't know. All I know is that he showed me that. Now, that is the way of the old world. Mr. Gibson told me he didn't like my act, but that didn't make me say that he is a bad fellow. I just got busy and showed the public that I could please them. The following were on the bill for the week of June 8. Smith and Burton; Stewart and the Fisher and Simmons; Raver and Willis; musical act; Madame Dekora. white act. I hope the colored acts will quit their knocking the colored managers of colored houses; also the white managers of colored houses; and the colored managers of Take a tip from me; Wrong acts don't hurt the boss, but injure yourselves in a long or short time. Try to keep in friendly relations with everybody, if you expect to make it in the show business, because you can walk into these bookings and see the stars you waiting. Still white acts are get- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ting all the work, and the majority of our colored acts still wait. So let us try to help the man who is running the colored theater. With a due respect for Mr. Gibson, he is one of the best men I met who conducts a colored theater. Mr. E. C. Knox, Editor The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir-I noticed on your pear four or five weeks ago a write-up from Martin and Motley, against me for conciliatory advice, and I felt justified in doing so. Of the names of performers who did not like my action, I note Griffin Sisters, Thomas The two last mentioned I have seen, and they told me their names were used without their knowledge, and the two were not in this city at that time, and I have not seen them since the write-up. Now, the Griffin Sisters have no reason to complain, and we brought them from the West to me as they had no reason to regret their coming. Mine was the first house to put time aside for several years ago, as I was the first to visit the West, independent of booking agents, thus benefiting the performers by saving them their booking fees, besides helping secure work elsewhere after leaving me. Dear Sir—In refutation to the alleged charge made against the Auditorium Theater, South street, near Broad, Philadelphia, of which Mr. John F. Gibson, the president, made an appearance in Martin and Martin, which appeared in the columns of your valuable paper a few weeks ago, to the effect that they have engaged in their business, their engagement, is absolutely false. Permit me to say, we are personally acquainted with the management and all our business dealings with Mr. Gibson the Auditorium Theater is one of the best conducted of our vaudeville and moving picture houses, and under the supervision of Mr. Gibson a splendid reputation and is patronized by our best colored and white citizens. We cannot conceive by anyone who has either personal or business dealings with Mr. Gibson nounce him anything else but fair and just in his transactions. We can understand, never, however, how any one who has not been in our business methods in carrying out their contracts could misunderstand such a man as Mr. Gibson who is most exacting in our dealings. This, we feel, has been the case with your complainant in his alleged charge against the Auditorium Theater and its enterprising proprietor, Mr. John F. Gibson. Thanking you in advance in permitting me an opportunity to remove a false impression of a worthy young man and institution, I remain. Years truly, A P. CALDWELL, Editor Philadelphia Courant, 1508 Lombard Street Philadelphia, Pa. WHERE THE CALCIUM SHINES. Specialist. Much just criticism is being leveled at the average colored performers of today because of their lack of originality. The majority, it is said, will not study nor man essays to imitate the late George Walker, and every low comedian does his best to copy the mannerisms of Bert Willis, who tries with his trump act simply to footsteps of the late Bob Cole. A brilliant exception to this group of imitators, however, is Dudley, who is just himself, that's like Mr. Birch's minir man on the stage. J. Leubrie Hill also takes high rank as a producer of "first-hand" stuff. Mr. Hill has never been in the past decade, but since he has done in the past decade, but since he put over "My friend from Dixie" and "The Blackville Corporation," in such magnificent and finished style, his stock photos have been put into his own. But back to our "mutons." The Negro performer must do more studying. He must not be content studying the same old sketches off on the confining public the same old sketch, the same old songs, the same old jokes, and the same old threadbare plot. He must do something original and give weight of his name and individuality. S. H. Dudley opened his Washington Theater June 3, putting on a fine line of vaudeville attractions and photo plays. It has the Minneapolis, and under the direction of Thomas, who left it to take over the Howard, the house made a barrel of money, and has assumed charge acting manager for Dudley. It is the intention of Mr. Dudley to arrange a chain, made up of at least twenty-five theaters, and embracing all the cities of Minnesota. After this coming season it is reported that Mr. Dudley may retire from active stage work and devote his full time to the management of the business. A black Hawk & Wright is about due, and it looks as if S. H. Dudley is the man for the job. * Eddie Goodbar, for a number of years with Williams and Walker, and more recently a member of J. Leubrie Hill's "Blackville Corporation" company, is announced for two weeks' stay at Ford's theater, of which J. H. Hudnell is manager. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, universally styled "the Afro-African queen of tragedy," is enjoying a prosperous season and is enjoying a dramatic career of critics, under the direction of Trevor Ellis Jackson. She has been greeted by large and fashionable audiences at Kingston and all of the principal cities of the UK, and some of the Jones have marveled at the rare talent displayed by her genius. The Kingston Daily Telegraph says: "Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis was a revelation to her audience at the Conference night. In her several dramatic selections from Shakespeare and also humorous renditions from her Laurence Dunbar and others she kept the audience spellbound from start to finish, and no one could fail to recognize her as a master of the exacting selection and an actress of no ordinary standout and a potion scene from 'Romeo and Juliet,' the letter scene from 'Macbeth' and Porta's speech from 'The Merchant of Venice.' She was particularly exacting selections, she was particularly recalls, her vociferously enforced after each selection. Madame Nonie Bailey Hardy, who accompanies Miss Davis, contributed vocal selections and many recalls. Her remarkable contraltions have great advantage in 'All That I Ask Is Love' and Tosti's 'Good-Bye.' It is expected that Miss Davis will remain in Jamaica throughout the month of June, and will will visit Cuba and Cuba and tour the cities of the Atlantic seaboard in the South before returning to her home in Washington. Bert Williams is to star in musical comedy after next year, under the management of Florenz Ziegfeld, who will surround him with a big company, playing only first-class houses. "Black Patti" is to have a new play. Carita Day, the "vital spark," is to in- vade the East again, at the conclusion of her bookings in the Middle West. The marriage of Lester A. Walton, dramatic editor of the New York Age, to Miss Gladys Moore, daughter of Fred R. Moore, mother of the Age, is to take place July 4, according to revised announcements. R. Henri Strange is to enact the role of Damon in a production of "Damon and Pythias," to be given at the Lenox Casino, New York City. Indianapolis has contributed more high-class Negro performers to the stage than any other city in the country. Clarence Logan, a Washington Boy, in advance of J. Leubrie Hill's attractions, is one of the best booking agents and is one of the most successful theater workers in the profession. He has been instrumental in introducing to the stage some of the race's most noted stars. Mme. Anita Patti Brown, of Chicago, known far and wide as "the Bronze Tetrazin," has returned to her home, after working in Arkansas, followed by a jaunt through the States of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. She was accompanied by Mme. Louelia B. Smith, pianist and dramatic reader. Both the musicians and handsome compliments by the press and play through their long itinerary. They may play a return engagement in Jamaica in the fall. "The My Friend from Dixie" Company is resting at Washington. Manager J. Leubrie Hill is negotiating with a responsible firm with a view of carrying a first-class company to Australia. Competent staff with experience there and in New Zealand, and Mr. Hill is confident he can startle the natives in the Antipodes, if the necessary guarantees are made by the people on the other end. The opening of the Atlantic summer resorts is coming as a godsend to the players who are being let out by the flying troupes now closing their seasons. Manager A. J. Thomas, of the Howard, at Washington, is one of the most progressive theatrical men in the country. He is booking some standard attractions in the theater, and is making the veterans in the business world no he keeps things going at top-notch speed. Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Washington's famous bandleader, receiving so many requests for concert ensembles that he has consented to accept a few calls this season, filling them at intervals in his dental practice. His recent resignation as dean of the dental department of the University of Washington allows him to devote more attention to music, for which he has a passionate fondness, and to respond to demands for public appearances in star entertainments, which contain theatrical acts. Race has no niner baritone than Dr. Wormley, and he sings only the highest class of compositions. Mr. Joseph H. Donglass, the popular violinist, is to appear in Chicago during the Republican convention season. Evanston, Englewood and Milwaukee are to be included in his itinerary, after which a long Southern tour will be entered upon. Mr. Clarence Cameron White, the violinist, has been giving concerts in New York City, in conjunction with Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, the eminent baritone. W. T. Andrews is to establish a colored theater at Sumter, S. C., remodeling one of his business blocks for the purpose. The Majestic Theatre, Nashville, Tenn., owned by A. N. Johnson, a prominent business man, is one of the largest and prettiest colored theaters in the South. Maroney Theater, at Salisbury, N. C., the leading playhouse in the town, operated by a white lady of high standing, employs a colored orchestra throughout the regular season.

The fans went wild as the same neared the ninth inning and team had scored. Mr. Baker, manager of the Cubs, walked patiently seen to frown; even Nicodemus seemed anxious.

Jim Tyllen's size will astonish people who think he is too small to cope with Johnson, said Jack Curley recently while engaged in pointing out the merits of his $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

According to Curley Flynn has not only increased in speed and cleverness, but also increased in playing the past year. He predicts that the Puncher will enter the ring weighing over 190 pounds. Curley also said that there was no fear that he would not be noching well despite the fact that the Puncher is bringing sporting me from Eastern points. The promoter declared that the fight should be played in the eastern men and that he expected the arena's capacity would be fully tested on July 4. He ridiculed the idea that there was an advance of the fight being "fixed" for Flynn and that the pictures valuable. He points out that moving pictures of a boxing match are not as popular as they used to be and that Johnny was his title above any amount of money. KANSAS CITY, MO The Royal Giants are the Champions of This City. Starting last Sunday and ending Wednesday the two Kansas City clubs, Royal Giants and the Kansas City, Kans, Giants, met in their annual red-hot bat game, something doing all the while. But above all things we must give credit to our old friend, Jack Johnson, for once again he has succeeded in being with the winning team and together what surely does look like a whirlwind any kind of company or class. He has taken together what was last season a failure and apap renned had very little class, if any. After a month or six weeks he can now rightfully and deservingly boost of being "Champions." It seems as though the Kansas boys were really out-generated and out-played. Hitting, pitching and fielding particularly, simply a massacre, the Royals winning four straights, that's al, the first game being 12 to 9, second 8 to 5, the third 10 to 5 and the fourth 6 to 2. We are now say for the boys across the Kaw, Go on old Kansas, we have got your Goat. Go on old Kansas, we have got your Goat, For you the champions, and that's no joke. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. You beat all all comers, but you can't beat English Heavyweight Like Matinee Idle Special to The Freeman NEW YORK—Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight champion, enjoys at least one distinction. The tal, blond-haired, blue-eyed Enlishman without doubt is the handsomest of all the white hopes in the ring. His countenance has not been marred as yet by a single mark of his profession, a fact that speaks well for his ability to protect himself. Wells has more the appearance of a matinee idol than a prize fighter. He is well educated, soft spoken and of a high order of intelligence. It is plain that he belongs to the modern school of boxer, where brains count for more than mere strength. This type is rapidly taking the place of the rought necked slugger, at least among the real stars of the ring. Well's presence in the game of fisticuffs will help bring credit to the sport which is already adorned by Packey McMcFarland and Johnny Kilbane and others of a like stamp. However, the ability to give and take punishment is also a very necessary accomplishment in winning championships, and it is also a key factor in winning this direction will be better known after he has been seen in action. An inspection of his dapper figure and rather narcissistic appearance the impression that he is a trifle fruit to the impression that he is such a battering ram as Al Palzer. Local promoters have already started the Wing for a match between Palzer and Wells, and the standing of the newcomer. Wells is holding out for a substantial sum, as he is aware that his whole future will depend upon the result. If he loses there the next stage will be for Wells to take the next boat home again and give up all thoughts of gaining Johnson's crown. On the other hand, a victory would make him the ogeal his apparent.

The Champion's Retinue Includes His Mother and Wife—On the Scene and at His Favorite Diversions—A $25, 000 Western Syndicate Will Back Flynn—The White Hope's Training Pursuits. By Billy Lewis. "On the Road to Monteerey" is the soft and soothing title of a song well known and well liked among the colored stage people. It is happy in all respects—title, tune, sentiment; so much so that it is now hackeneyed and worn from much use. The title is what especially appears. "On the Road to Limón, Vegas"—not near the sea of sounding, hence its chances for song and story aren't so good. So, after all, in spite of what the poets have said about "There is nothing in a name," there is something in a name. And yet I guess they are right enough—viewing this, however, as an exception to the rule. Reno is a splendid name, also and, perhaps, the Vegas will be found more classic after the great event of July 4. Waterloo would not mean very much more than the Vegas would not be had no place in man's memory had it not been for him. Its place would have been among the inconsequential islands of the seas. According to reports, the champion has moved on Las Vegas with a retinue noted for size and personality. Mrs. Tiny Johnson, his mother, whom he idolizes, is one of the big numbers on his list, and of course his wife, who is also his mother, about him, he will be guaranteed the privacy and comforts of home life, and against that peculiar brain fatigue that sometimes comes from uncongenial assesment. He is another mother, a superintendent the culinary, so it is such an important feature of the training. His wife more than likely will be as senescalh of ye olden days, bearing in front of a timorous train a spiced wine, and in readiness to serve mi lord, the king. At any rate, she will be about grooming the champion for the great go when he will sustain himself as the best of mankind, and the best of the white honeys. Other of the group are his valet, "Gawge", Prof. Watson, Battling Burns, his trainer, Mary Cutler, John Perkins and Jack DeBray, his sparring partner. His chauffer, Brown, will also be one of the party. Jack evidently does not think a physician a necessary adjunct to his camp. When in Indianapolis recently he said, "I don't know how to his unusual good health, he has not needed the services of a physician as others do. But I rather suspect he found one necessary to blind up the most fortunate man as to his health will find a doctor very useful at some juncture of his life. Happy man that needs no physician. Unhappy the physician but I am here to praise Caesar, not to bury him. A few simple remedies at all he asks, according to himself. The champion has his bass viol and his automobile for his diversion from any possible monotony. He is immeasurable fond of his instrumentals, he is more mounts to passion. And he should be liked for these dispositions, since they speak his gentlemanship rather than that other man's softness, and among those of his class. Music and herolism are twin associates, as I have said before; they work together for good. The Tenneman man counts death the treason, the Mannesman counts German on hearing "Watch on the Rhine," the American on hearing "America or "Dixie." Sentiment has some part to say, also that association is lifted up to their plane of seductive influence through the music's buoying process. The trinity of circumstances Poet has in mind is that things are done in the poetical moments—momentary poets are those who do the great, good things of any description. It says that poets are the bravets of poetry. Poet rest at Missolongh amid war's distractions—the hurtling bomb—warrring for the peace and happiness of strangers. Music is brevet master general, poets on the spot—while you wake on the spot—while you pass on their normal selves into the ecstatic and fight now the supermen that they are. To speak of the supermen is to furnishing of courage, that necessary element to all strife. Mere brute strength would simply be the means of defeating itself by its very cumbersomeness, to skill and courage. Get courage, is the final admonition. Says the song: night, night, If I would increase my courage, Lord." Johnson has it in excess quantity, but he can rely on his skill as much as he can, but rely on his skill. Well, the white man is naturally of great cunning, I mean in the best suit outwits Johnson, but if he does he will have to go some. A western syndicate, hailing from Wyoming, it is said, will support Flynn to the tune of $25,000. This will be moral support tendered him—that much poetical and courteous to indeed grow if this turns out to be true—and fight in the ecstatic state. So more things in music more for the ecstatic state. There's a reason it makes him. See the lioness and her whelps, or things nearer—a hen will go a few rounds with a bulldog when her young are menaced, but a man mother will assault the very grave. The chances are that the syndicate, if successful, will pick up some $75,000. about $3 to 1 is the market today. The team, if successful, will pick up the team, yet it would never do to show the white flag. It's just like your Caucasian who does not count the time or the ways. Success is all he looks for. So, you can be a good Joe Johnson in the ring, there will be white men to back him in interest of the white man's supremacy. And from the white man's view point, it is right to up for old Jack Johnson, showing that when untramlled by others, when uninfluenced by white men's interference, when unintimidated, they can win high fights. He will grapple with that has not been scaled down by discount, owing to the accident of birth. According to what is said by Flynn, he has a delightful training ahead of him. He will ride horseback that most exhilarating of exercises, so said, when every muscle comes into play, so said. He will climb the mountain with him, grappling with brawny goats. He will grapple with brawny goats, the bag, toss the ball, hew the trees, run, skip, jump, coming to the ring on the ground. Fourth of July the most perfect piece of human flesh in existence, except one. JACK AND JIM HAVE REACHED FIGHT SCENE. Training for the Big Mill Began Last Monday. Special to the Freeman.
