From there he went to Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, graduating with honors in 1888. He went towards entered Benedictine Medical College, with honors. In the class, there since that time his practice has grown rapidly and he enjoys a position that brings to him patients from all parts of the country. He has in Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia and Missouri. He has performed hundreds of difficult operations, bringing to local hospitals crucial dents denied them in their home town.

He organized the Civic State League and is an active member of the board of trustees of Provident hospital, holding this position for the past fifteen years. He is a director of the Fred Douglass Center, and a member of the Western Economic Society. He is chairman of the committee in charge of the erection of the $150,000 Y. M. A. A. A. is now being erected at Thirty-eighth and Wabash avenue; organizer of the local medical association and an active worker in the national association. Dr. Hall is regarded as one of the most substantial civic communities and his holdings are such that he make any one feel proud of his success. Such is the man who is at the head of the Business League of this city, and under whose direction the coming session will be the most interesting and successful in the history of the organization. --- National Negro Press Association will meet in this city August 21. Mr. M. Wleey, president and editor of the Pensacola Sentinel, will call the meeting to Thompson, the well-known newspaper correspondent of Washington, D. C., has arranged a fine program for the occasion. It is likely that the body will hold a press gang, the large rooms in the Seventh regiment murmur. While several well-known writers were in the city during the sitting of the national Republican convention, the file of the "press gang" have waited for the press association meeting to visit Chicago. After the meeting of the Business League, arrangements will be made for members of the Press Association to visit Benton Harbor for the convention, be declared to be one of the most delightful summer spots on Lake Michigan. Editors Abbott, Turner, Neighbors, Smiley, Taylor, Moody, A. J. Carey will be pleased for the visiting members of the press association. As soon as the program is arranged, it will be given wide publicity. . . . Jack Johnson has arrived in the city and will open his new cafe some time this or next week. The saloon is expected to be one of the finest in this city, of the many big sports of this section will be seen at Johnson cafe.

Truly, her son "brought home the bacon." Col. Thompson a Visitor Among the more prominent visitors that will be in the city this summer will be Col. R. W. Thompson, of Washington, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, of National Negro Business League. Mr. Thompson is perhaps one of the most widely known men in the country that is a full-fledged member of the "press" of men and measures, "nose for news," and power to tell it interestingly and truthfully places hi mat far above the average quill pushers' of our race. He is the best in the race and helping the deserved, and for this reason, he has a host of friends; and this will be demonstrated when he comes to Chicago, for the first time, and have been planned for Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson when they arrive in the Windy City." In advance we bid them Politics Politics just now are very quiet in Chicago and Illinois. The leaders are in a quandary. Everyone seems to have a nose to the ground, scenting for something in the air, beating the coming election. There was some talk of the Progressives launching a state ticket, but nothing definite along this line has been decided upon. If this done, it will weaken the Deneen forces and give the Republicans a flipped file of the Republicans of the state. The trend of political events will be eagerly watched by the voters of this city. The Gentlemen's Afternoon Club gave a dance on the Fourth of July at Rasch's park. Garfield Wilson's orchestra furnished the music. A large number of strangers was in attendance. On the Fourth of July, Mr. Garfield will give a "Duck Party" at the Masonic hall.

KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL STATE MISSIONARY CONVENTION IN SESSION AT SHELBYVILLE A. M. E. Connection Hold District Conference—Union Picnic to Be Given by a Number of Clubs—Attorney Diggs in Race for Grand Chancellor. By Hardin Tolbert, at People's Pharmacy; both Phones 666; Box 233. FRANKFORT, Ky.—The ninth annual session of the State Missionary Convention met at Shelbyville, the famous blue building, where hundreds delegates were present. The hospitality shown the visitors will forever make the name of the city famous from the praise given it by the visitors. The visitors were welcome to the delegates and visitors.

She will be a music class during the summer vacation at the residence of Miss Cordella Woolforks on Murray street. Miss Thomas is a talented young lady and should be given the opportunity to prove hope of our young girls and boys, hope the members of the race in this city will give her their patronage. Editor Lee L. Brown, of Louisville, a correspondent of this paper and editor of the Louisville News, reminds us of a chicken with its head cut off, that is going down. Chum Brown came to city a few days ago, and in spite of our good treatment, he was so elated over those three chickens he had eaten that he made last week. He was a long-excited. I suppose it was the place he visited near the depot while his old card is now so souvenir postcards. Ah! Ah! while so souvenir postcards lasted him a long time, according to some of those reports the made of our suppose he was wearing away the blues. Come again, old chum; we keep the best. It will treat you just as you desire. Indecence seems to prevail in the very midst of our beloved little city of Omaha, where a large stone building owned by a Negro lodge opposite some of the most prominent citizens, west of the Old State House, is being built for the place for young men only. It is treacherous the part of some of the young men to bring young girls to this place, some of whom are the lower mothers of those young girls who are at church. These young girls are following the dictations of unthoughtful young men who are not among those who say the lower mothers but among some of the other class. The mothers should be aware of the company of their daughters, and be on the alert for any escorted by young men of the best of characters, because unthoughtful young men have no respect for them whatever. They would never take them to such a place as above referred to. The ninth annual session of the State Funeral Directors met at one of the most progressives of the state, and the first of the state, the Shelbyville, where the large assembly of funeral directors held the best session since its organization. The session eclipsed anything prior to this time this line of endeavor. The meeting was called to order by Mr. A. B. McAfee, the president and Mrs. Daisy Saffell, the pastor, who was present at the opening session at Shelbyville. Saffell is the only woman in the state among our people who has ever passed a state board examination in embalming. A program was presented at the opening session on Clay street, of which Rev. Abel is pastor. A creditable program was rendered in a joint session with the State Memorial women at the Clay Street Baptist church on Friday night, and after this affair the citizens were favored with a banquet at the largest in Shelbyville which has the seating capacity of about two thousand.

After a shampoo or bath the Magic dates the hair, venerating the dandruff; and it will straighten the curliest head of hair. The Magic will not burn or injure the hair, because the comb is never heated. The steel heating bar which irons the hair, is alone, put into the flame of the alcohol or gas heater. The aluminium Comb is easily detached from the heating bar, then, after the bar is heated the combo goes into place and is held by a turn of the handle.

Genuine friends will not accept the appraisement of our enemies. At Kansas City they chose the Wright man for editor of the Christian Recorder. Don't underestimate the strength of the other fellow—the "common man," if you please. Louisville is the logical point for the next general conference of the A. M. E. Zion church. We are for the "harmony" that makes for progress—not for the listless harmony that induces stagnation. Some of our good friends are fools—but why publish the tidings in Gath or tell the news in the streets of Askelon? All of us are willing to stand pat on the proposition that there should be ample protection provided for the Negro people in the failure of the tairie board to say anything about it. The "Hair-Vim," "Kink-No-More," and "Night-Owls" maniacs are not complaining of hard times. Look over any of our fashionable audiences and the reason will be apparent, for we all like to see them look just as pretty as nature and art can make them. There are good trusts and bad trusts.

The quarterly report, issued nationally, Grand Secretary, E. B. Bush, shows $10,000 worth of $75,000, $30,825.05 in the endowment treasury, and an estimate of $100,000 worth of property all told.

Negro Year Book and Annual Encyclopedia. The Negro Year Book, which has just been published under the auspices of Tuskegee Institute, is the result of a systematic attempt to supply the growing demand for books and many portions of the old world for accurate and concise information in re- I. S. gard to the history, progress and present status of the N. W. race. It is based to a large extent on the inquiries we have come to the institute and have been turned over for reply to the Department of Research, of which Monroe N. Work, the author of this work, is the head. Amper the Anglicus treated in the work J. W. Underwood Wholesale and Retail Dealer in FISH, OYSTERS, POULTRY AND GAME Among the subjects treated in the work are: are: "A Review of the Negro in 1911." "The Economic Progress of the Negro." "The Negro in the Religious Field." "Negro Soldiers and Heroes." "Non-ological History of the Negro in America." It contains directories of Negro banks, Negro towns, business leagues, hospitals, newspapers and national and fraternal or religious organizations there are also carefully classified lists of books and articles relating to the Negro. The Year Book, which is bound in paper, is in the information is arranged in a concise, systematic format as to make it easy of reference. The book is not published as a business venture, although it may be so later, provided it is published by a professional. In order to determine whether there is sufficient demand for the Year Book to warrant its continued publication in succeeding years, a price of 25 cents has been set. A considerable reduction will be made to persons desiring ten copies or more. Address Negro Year Book Company, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. THE TUSKEGEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. One very valuable paper resulting from the recent International Conference at Tuskegee has been published in the Tuskegee Student, "Education by Cultural Groups." It has largely to do with the educational methods of Tuskegee, but considered in view of their application to the needs of those Negroes in Africa who are coming in contact with civilization. In the discussion Dr. R. E. Park, author of the paper, said: "The effect of European civilization upon Japan has been to awaken that country and make it bloom. But wherever European civilization has touched Africa it has been on the whole a disintegrating, destructive force, and, in spite of all the effort that has been put forth, I cannot see that Europe has yet begun, in any adequate way, to repair the damage it has wrought. "It seems probable that this destructive and disintegrating influence will continue, and that Africa must expect to serve a long and hard apprenticeship to Europe, an apprenticeship not unlike that which Negroes in America underwent in slavery. Admitting, for the sake or the argument, that this is true, the question which arises is: How far is it possible, by means of education, to abridge this apprenticeship of the younger to the older races, or at least make it less cruel and inhuman than it now frequently is?" There can be no more important question asked than the immediately preceding one as it concerns the civilization of African Negroes. We presume no one will attempt to answer in a hurry. The state of susceptibility of their minds, their present disposition and predisposition, will be known only by living among them, learning them by seeing them. Only such individuals will be prepared to speak with authority—those that know them close up. The writer says that the subject, for sociologists, is fascinatingly interesting, albeit tragic enough. Such is the case. How long must the probationary period be, if there must be one? Have we, the American Negroes, greatly outdistanced the African Negroes in the thing of preparedness to take on culture? Will the Africans find it necessary to wait three hundred years, as we have waited, in order to be conditioned? We can see no reason, however, to compare the situation in Japan with that in Africa. The Japanese had a civilization always, we may say, doing many things much better than our own civilization. The point is, however, that the touch of the white man seems to wither and blight when applied in Africa. Perhaps the white man is not in such an excellent frame of mind. Philanthropy, in these days, does not keep pace with the mercenary motive. The nude Negro will be a fitting engine to pull diamonds out of the depths for a long time, and so forth. The article is timely—a real live one—and almost excitingly interesting to those who know something of the premises. THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION VS. W. H. LEWIS. Social functions having such a large share in the doings of the American Bar Association, doubtless, is why the members are at loggerheads over the membership of W. H. Lewis, Negro. Mr. Lewis is conceded to be a lawyer of ability. He is of good scholarship and of good repute. His selection as Assistant Attorney-General, we think, warranted him in applying for membership in the association, feeling it to be a moral necessity in view of his profession and his office, and not because of the social features. We can not conceive of Mr. Lewis being more than casually concerned in the social features of the organization. We think that he would willingly forego them if he knew to do otherwise would mean general hostility. The time was, and happily passed, when it was considered cowardice not to accept every seeming opportunity to break down the racial lines. And they were seeming opportunities—not more. The indices of such change of heart will be first felt way down in Georgia and Texas, working from the outer posts inward, instead of inward to the outward. Incidentally, social recognition does not mean system, and until we see evidences of system we need not be shocked at what happens incidentally. The ugly feature of the matter is that Mr. Lewis has become a member and now finds himself the object of disagreeable discussion regarding his membership. Had he not been permitted to join, it would have been much different, since the association has the say-so about what it wants to do. Being a member, it is clearly his duty to maintain himself if he can, thrusting the "villalany" elsewhere if he can. Nothing is against him except race, color and the well-nigh traditional "previous servitude" in the sense of racial descent. He is not responsible for any of these. Who is responsible? God, and the major portion of those who are opposing him—twice armed, if not thrice, because he has his quarrel just.

For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER A. M. E. Z. CONFERENCE RINGING WELCOME ADDRESS BY H. DAVID MURRAY. Annual Banquet of the Chicago Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists—Dr. Bentley Speaks—Celebration in Honor Paul Lawrence Dunbar. (By Cary B. Lewis.) Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, IL—At the annual conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church Wednesday night of last week, Mr. H. David de Zeevers, a long-time resident, a number of other addresses were delivered, but the one of Mr. Murray was heartily received and pronounced as one of the best speeches of the evening. He said, "On behalf of the pastor, officers, members and the congregation of Walters A. M. E. Zion church, I have the pleasure of addressing you." "I am especially glad to be accorded the honor of welcoming the Michigan annual conference, because it represents progressiveness and growth in the grand old "But three short years ago this conference was an unknown quantity, as was an outgrowth of the Missouri conference which gained such proportions in a few years that it was able and willing to establish both this and the Indiana conference and its indicative on the growth and progressiveness on the part of this denomination. Then, too, we are glad to welcome you for the Christian uplift which you bring us, not only to the city in general. We are glad to welcome you for even a great reason, because you are a part of the six hundred thousand communities marching under Zion's banishment in all communities throughout these United States, Africa and the island of the sea. Made from this, a layman is always glad to participate in an occasion like this. Throughout the civilized world the Christian marching Every religious denomination has its followers. Some believe one thing and some believe another. To the rank and file, to the clergy, to the religious people have and always will be an incentive for greater and nobler effort. The good people dominate the world. If this was not a fact, the richly abounded with the various institutes H. DAVID MURRAY. dons of education and Christian training; we know that all of the people are not given enough to be a part and parcel of this conference, and those who later read the words of wisdom that shall be enunciated ere this conference adjourns, cannot help but be benefited. Meetings like this not only benefit the individual, but the entire community. "The wondrous good that Zion is doing for the salvation of souls and for the amelioration of those of its number who are in want, and whose greatest work is lift is not heredged forth in the daily papers; therefore, it is only upon like occasions that the world knows of the principles and aspirations of the A. M. E. Zion Church. "The fact that Walters A. M. E. church has reached its present standing is attributed to the powerful influence exerted by an upright Christian leader, whose walk in life has been a bright example to all, and whose experience below has less a person than the Rev. H. J. Calls. "This sacred building, the work of our own hands, as it were, stands as a monument to the religious endeavor of the people and the large and growing city. We welcome you here and pray that your thorough knowledge of the needs of the church, your profound insight into the mysteries of holy writ will redound to the everlasting credit of this church, its particular, and the connection in general. "Again we bid you welcome." We can we bid you welcome. Mr. Murray, our leading business men and is generally known as a member of the firm of Murray, Anderson & Terrell, real estate and insurance brokers, State and Thirty-first streets. This firm is one of the most prominent State street, which is the most prominent location on the South Side for a business enterprise. Murray, Anderson & Terrell opened their doors to the public about very beginning, and today they rank as our leading business men. The personnel of the firm is H. David Murray, Wm. H. Murray, and B. Anderson. Mr. Murray came to Chicago about a year ago from Rochester, N. Y., where he was employed for a period of fifteen years with one firm, during that time learning the accident, health and insurance business, and developing an upreme business enterprise upon his arrival in Chicago. Mr. Murray had not been on the scene long before the numerous insurance agents began to sit up and take charge of the business. He had to his credit a larger debit than any other agent in the field. Mr. Murray now heads the insurance department of the casualty departments general agents for the Insurance Company of the United States. Mr. Murray is highly respected by the citizens of Chicago as a man of energy and intelligence. He is a remarkable stride in the business field is creasing his popularity. He will take a prominent part in the reception of visitors to the National Negro Business League, and he will be glad to talk with those desirous of making real estate purchases in this section. Chicago has reached the high water mark in point of visitors. They are not only interested in the city, but At this particular time they represent the "best respect" from the South and South-East, as the particular at the Chicago University. Most of the educational department, taking special courses in teaching, the University offers wonderful advantages for those wishing higher training, and no distinction is made in any department. "The door is open to all," they say. "The University is the representative of the Freeman. While the Southerners are here by the thousands, they have not succeeded in planting measurable resistance against the colored person is designed." Students Rank High. It is very noticeable that those of our race attending the university are teachers who have been well trained and are men and women of character and capacity, and class room work, their success stems out prominently. When it comes to the fittest, "the fittest," it has been proven that the greatest majority of colored students rank high in the efficiency of work covered and the efficiency with which it is done. During the present summer it looks as though there will be a great attendance at the Chicago University that those in attendance will keep up the high standards by those of previous years. While the teachers are here for the special desire of improving their minds, they also take the humanity of enjoying the many social functions. Medicos' Banquet The annual banquet of the Chicago Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists, Club was held at the Mrs. Pondexter's beautiful home, 3558 Calhoun Avenue. This is one of the most palatial rooms, in Chicago occupied by colored people, and the room is on the South Side. The large rooms with rich tapestry, beautiful papering, hand-painted pictures, artistic decorations, made it one of the most beautiful homes in this section of the country. In large tables were set in three rooms, while in the room room the guests of the evening, the presidents, were seated. The tables were tastely and pretty decorated with flowers and ferns. A course dinner was served in pomp and scent. Speech-Making. Following the delicious menu, Dr. C. S. Dickerson, toastmaster of the evening, presented the president of the club, Dr. J. Marcus Macdonald, the president of the West Side happily and cordially bid welcome to all, paying a delightful tribute to all of work done by the club during the evening. The enjoyment of the members and guests, and thrice welcomed those present with a generous and open heart. The evening were Mr. George H. Jackson, Dr. Asa Barnes, Mr Cary B. Lewis, Dr. A. L. Smith, Dr. W. H. Forcewell, Dr. Williams, Dr. Calbus, Washington, Dalehy. The speeches were bright and pleasing, all showing thorough preparation and thoughtfulness. The doctors' wives presented the members, the present and enjoyed the evening immensely. Dunbar Celebration. Dr. C. E. Bentley, who has an international reputation of being one of the greatest dental surgeons of this country, was the first dentist to create, a cultured gentleman and one of the race leaders of Chicago, was the principal speaker on last Sunday at Institutional church. The occasion was the paying a visit to the character and character of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Dr. Bentley Speaks. Mr. Julius Avendolph was master of ceremonies, and the church was filled with the leading literary people of this city. Two musical numbers were on the promenade. Mrs. Marie Burton-Hyrum and Mr. Emmanuel Bentley were appreciative audience. Mrs. Hyrum rendered a high-class soprano solo, and Mr. Emmanuel won scores of applause by rendering a most artistic violin solo. Dr. Emmanuel was a significant soprano. His style was excellent, fine and percussion a gem. It was interesting from beginning to end, and showed thorough preparation. He named the men who knew Mr. Dunbar long before Dean Howe. He traced the lines of his from boyhood to the time he was called to rest. The address was pronounced the best that has ever been delivered in this city to a colored audience. It was freezing and propitious that the race has summays to pay tribute to such men as Douglass and Dunbar as other races have to laud Burns, Shakespeare and other noted poets. So illuminating and educational the address, the church to the Bentley to have the address printed in pamphlet form and distributed, so that generation might have the benefit of the masterly address. At the close of the church, complimented Dr. Bentley for so intelligently bringing before the public such an able and learned paper. "Retribution" Staged. "Retribution" is the name of the drama that was played last Friday night at Grace Christian church and reappeated at Oakland High School. It was the management of Mr. Cary B. Lewis and staged by Mr. Jerry Mills. The play was written by Madam Minnie Adams, and is based on a story that has been this city. Mrs. Jenny Brennan and Gerry Mills, Junius Sears and Miss Heart took the principal parts. Oakland Music Hall was filled, and everybody was greatly impressed by each character acted. The show was such a complete success that it is thought that later on an effort will be made to stage it in some other cities, preferably St. Louis and Illinois. The play was written by Madam Minnie Adams, of the Chicago Defender. Dr. Dailey Goes Abroad. Dr. U. G. Bailey, known now as one of the leading surgeons of this section of the country, has decided to take a trip abroad and will leave this country not later than the end of this year. He will be to take post courses in surgery, and medicine in France and Germany, and he will make special visits to all the leading medical universities of the old world. The doctor has been phenomenal. He stands well with all the physicians, and is beloved by them. He has done considerable work at Wesley and Provident hospitals. In a issue we will give a more detailed account of Chicago's learned and successful surgeon. * * * In this issue of the Freeman will be seen a large ad. of the coming carnival his city in August.

The tie-up in the New York hotels by the waiters, cooks and other employees is food for reflection for the colored people following those lines of work. It will not do to come to conclusions too hastily, however, since the workman is conceded to be worthy of his hire. Speaking in general, some effort must be made to keep wages up to a point of fair existence, yet we have nothing to offer along the line strikes. Colored waiters and help generally do not strike. We would be unfair to the general situation if we insisted on colored people being employed solely on that account. It is a well-known fact that the colored employees have been losing out, and especially in the East, where the employment is best. With equality of service, the disposition to work together with the colored waiters nonstriking disposition they ought to fare better in New York and vincity. Then, too, the colored people, the young men, must rely on such situations or go unemployed. The proprietors, of course, are not concerned about this, yet it is of sufficient importance to demand attention. Since there can be no demands made on private concerns that will compel them to employ colored people, the best that may be done is to ask for respectful consideration, feeling that in justice to the colored people many more places should open up to them than are open at this time. With everything being equal the colored waiters should be given a fair chance. THE FREEMAN IN LOUISVILLE. The Indianapolis Freeman is on sale at the following places: P. C. Martin's, P. C.

The Bull Moose party now seems to mean anything to keep the Colonel affloat. Our Governor Marshall and proposed Vice President has proven a clean, able man regardless of his little constitution bobble. In this day of parties and rumors of parties the colored brother cannot afford to take any chances. aPries are chosen because of principles espoused. Then, after studying the Negro in his relation to Southern life, kindly study the Negro in his relation to the white people in the hopes of a better understanding. Remember that principles count in politics. The Negro should be eager to join any party that holds out in deucesions to him. This means parties that have a chance for success. The Bull Moose party will get together August 6 at Chicago, according to the latest advices. The country anxiously awaits its line of dope; it expects something new under the sun. Charles Dewey Hilles, the newly elected chairman of the National Republican Committee, is on to his job. He will force the tariff to the fore. It's the most vulnerable point in the Democratic armor. By unanimous action the International Bible Students Association adopted a resolution repudiating as thorough unscriptural the teaching of a place, state or condition of hell fire and brimstone for the torment of the wicked. What a relief! Sutton E. Griggs, the author, is advising the Negroes to stand by Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Griggs is premature if anything. Why not wait for the Colonel's platform? Parties are chosen for the principles that they utter and not owing to the prominence of individuals. Some excellent would-be laws in the proposed new constitution, but the people had no voice in making them. It was a surprise to them. The Supreme Court of the state has fixed the little matter up. It made it so plain that the defendants will have nerve to let if they carry the case any further. The National Negro Business League will hold its thirteenth annual meeting at Chicago August 21 to 23. The business men are alive to the great conferences held yearly. The one at Chicago promises to be the biggest and best of them so far. Progress along business lines yearly and stimulated by the League is cause for the increasing interest in the meeting. A total of 275 teachers, representing fifteen states, have registered in the Summer School for Teachers. A number of these are Tuskegee graduates and former students. Several who were in attendance at the Summer school in 1910 or 1911 have returned. The special course for Jeanes Fund workers is proving a popular feature this summer.—Tuskegee Student. It is to be hoped that Mr. Tutewiler will not insist on making a playground of the court house yard for one kind of children. If he must have such a playground let him have it in that part of the town where it might be expected. It will be remembered that the court house and the court house yard are common property. Any denial of their use that is peculiar will me most vigorously contested. The Washington Bee lays on Chas. Banks, of Mound Bayou, pretty heavily. It seems to think that the well-known Mississippi got his foot in it. It goes on the theory that the ways of conventions are known and that the Banks episode was one of the incidents. It was unfortunate whatever happened. We prefer to think of such men as Banks as being above suspicion. Some think that Mr. Bryan went a bit too far in opposing the bosses at Baltimore. He had never been so radical before. But he seems to have had a purpose through it all and which adds to him as a patriot. It was particularly squally about the time of the Democratic convention, due mostly to Mr. Roosevelt's unheard of political tactics. What Mr. Bryan did was at a personal sacrifice, one feels to say at this time. He compelled the best situation possible of the Baltimore convention, and in doing so the country was assured the even tenor of its way in the event of Mr. Taft's defeat. The honest, earnest and able statesman will not long be defeated of the good opinions of the peope. The first annual convention of the Negro National Civic movement will convene in Topeka, Kan., August 20 to 23. The object is to devise a plan or plans for the moral, civic and industrial uplift of the Negroes. The movement has awakened considerable interest, and which may be the means of good. It is scarcely possible that bad will follow such movements, consequently they are to be encouraged even if they do but very little along the lines mapped out. When negroes are willing to travel, spending their own money, in order to meet inconference of the kind, such conferences will be worth while. Such conferences, we take it, will be made of sober-thoughted individuals who are out for race good and not for some political party. Political conferences are all right in their turn, but something, some of our conferences want to be free of political taint, in the sense of commercialism, at least. Civic conferences can scarcely escape some touch of politics, but politics should not be the moving spirit of such organizations. To serve those or that which render the best return on the investment as an actuating principle, will be permissible in bodies of the kind. We cannot conceive of going further and yet retaining the respect of all men of all parties. HAND-PRINTED PAPER Willie Frank Williams, a colored boy of the grammar schools of Valdosta, Ga., has shown considerable genius and monumental patience in printing a good-sized eight-page newspaper with his hands. He calls his publication The Search Light. The editor, as he calls himself, has arranged his paper methodically, touching on all the topics under appropriate heads, as are seen in the real dailies. Willie is also an artistic may drawer. He has done Valdosta in good style. He advertises in his journal that he is a drawer of maps, soliciting patronage for his work. It's rather a strange calling, but Willie is in school and is not on to what this real workaday world wants. He has talent and patience; he can readily switch to some other vocation if there's no run on his maps. The Valdosta Times, a daily of his city, speaks commendingly of him, saying: "A young Valdosta Negro, named Willie Frank Williams, has shown a good deal of artistic talent. EH gets up a newspaper throughout with a pencil, with advertisements and all of the features of the regular eight-page paper done by hand. He illustrates it with pictures of his own drawing. He calls his paper 'The Searchlight.' It takes more than usual talent as well as patience to get up such a paper." One of his big display ads reads: Do you read good Negro papers? Every race lovin' Negro should be a subscriber for some good race paper. I am agent for "The Freeman," etc. giving other papers and magazines that he handles. Apparently his ambition is to own and run a newspaper. He will make it some of these days. We present to Negro boys everywhere as an example of how to overcome toll and patience, and if accordingly good, the world is theirs. THE PLATFORMS. The Democratic platform does not differ essentially from that of the Republican party. The thing of progression as a thing apart from either party is a myth. Woodrow Wilson was chosen as an archetype of what is understood for progression, and yet not one syllable of new thought is injected into the party platform. It stands anti-trust just as the Republican platform stands anti-trust. It seems very particular to say that so far as the courts are concerned no party respects them more. It has nothing to do with that old new fad, the referendum and the initiative. Progression is not shown in the old fetch of tariff for revenue only. Even the workingman has been educated to know the difference between the cost of making goods at home and the cost of making them abroad. Wages enter the cost. Goods made by low wages must necessarily drive out of the markets those made by high wages unless an element enters that acts as a bar to those made by low wages. The theory then is one of protection when the prospects of underselling is so probable and the reasonable thing in the sense of competition. Preservation is the logical thing, but no extortion through fairly prohibitive taxation. The Republican party has clearly the advantage on the only well defined issue. THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION FAILS. The new constitutional act by the last legislature of the state Indiana has been declared null and void by the Supreme Court of the state. The decision was sustained by three to two, one of the majority being a Democrat. The court was very clear in pointing out the violence done the people in not permitting them to take part in making the amendments, or the new constitution, as it is sometimes called. The court said that the rule is, and as laid down in the constitution, that a legislature may suggest amendments, but such suggestions must be submitted to the people for their discussion, their pros and cons. And more than likely the legislators of the succeeding legislature are chosen on the issues. This succeeding legislature can now enact such of the amendments into laws as (it will be presumed) stand up after the campaign of discussion. The laws must again be submitted to the people for ratification. The proposed constitution was made at a sitting of the legislature, the object being to have it ratified, thus abridging the rightful process of submitting it to the people twice—once for discussion and then again for ratification. The constitution makers have fallen a legislature short in the calculation. They would have it, a legislature making the laws without sign or hint from the people that they need. THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ed or cared for the amendments, instead of two legislatures, one of suggestion merely; the other of enactment. REV. DR. THIRKIELD'S SUCCESSOR Rev. Dr. Newman, who succeeds Dr. Thirkeld as president of Howard University, is sixty-seven years old. A fine age, one would think, for the job of presiding over young men. Dr. Olser's theory, however, would have ruled against him. And there is a tendency to push out this class of men who, perhaps, are best fitted to serve in place of the kind, owing to ripe experience and large attainments. It stands to reason that unless the individual has gone to seed knows more as his age advances. And in some professions this fact is kept in view. The patient prefers the older doctor owing to his supposed wider experience. With the lawyers it is pretty much the same way. In some other cases it is still the same in spite of the tendency to shelve older men. Nothing is truer than the saying, "Old men for council, young men for war." Old heads cannot be set on young shoulders. The upheaval in politics is due to the tendency of young men to put it over the older class, giving us the first suggestion of general anarchy that the country has ever known. The young men have been worked in their weak place. They wish to be the political bosses and they are not stopping to count the cost. It is clearly the province of young men to carry out orders; since they haven't been living very long, hence don't know very much. That time serves its own notices is a proposition that will stand up against all assault. WHAT WILL THE NEGRO VOTERS DO? At this early stage of the game it is a question, so far as the Negro is concerned, as to whether it is best for him to hang with Taft or trot with Teddy. One thing is certain, however, he should have no time or consideration for the nominee of the Democratic party. In politics it matters not what party the Negro goes to he is persona non grata; that is, if he expects any recognition from such party for services rendered.—The Seattle (Wash.) Republican. And if the fishes and loaves phase were all of it the race would have plain sailing since the very few could be cared for under the most favorable circumstances. It is more than that. The opportunity to enter into all phases of civil life as others do is lacking. The opportunity to come and go as others do, thus becoming real factors of general society, is also lacking. Men when in parties are not very much different to men when at home, in their stores, factories and other places. We mean to say that we expect more of parties than we do of individuals, notwithstanding the fact that the party is made up of the same individuals. It will be conceded, however, that some little more consideration is given Negroes in public life than private life and owing to parties, showing that parties are even good things for them. Some think to see an opportunity in the Roosevelt party, the Bull Moose party as it is called; at least, they seem to be indifferent to it and Mr Taft's party as a choice, thinking they will fare equally as well in either. This is wholly problematical. The proposed new party has, as yet, signified no intention of holding out inducements to Negro voters. In the nature of things this will not come, since Mr Roosevelt is essentially a politician and therefore will take no "backward" steps. Progression in the instance, we think, will be to leave the Negroes severely alone as to promise of office and increased civil opportunities. This being the case it ought not be difficult to decide where the Negroes rightfully belong. Analyze the parties without bias as to promises, performances, and so forth. Unfortunately, conditions, considered nationally, do not permit the Negroes much range of thought in the matter of changing parties. They would be foolish to act without inducement or cause even they grow hoary haired in one party. EVANSVILLE, IND. Churches and Society News in General. By Benita Morrow. Special to THE FREEMAN.

Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, III, July 9.—Although the weather has been very hot in this city, the sun's rays have not kept the fans from attending the ball games. The St. Louis game was last night, and crowds. The game on last Thursday was a record breaker. Another large crowd was present on Sunday at Schorling and played on the West Side for several days, but returned to their home diamonds on Monday. The West Baden Springs, Ind., lost their first game of the series with the American Giants, 4 to 2. Gatewood was on the mound and pitched a fine game. Up to the seventh inning it was more than pleased with the results. No better game has been played at the Schorling park this season. Gatewood was given excellent support. The score. American Giants 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 4 —4 Plutos 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 2 0 —2 Two-base hits—Duncan, Tenny, Armstrong, Stick and Gatewood; by Johnson, 4 bases on 3, Umpire—Off Gatewood; 4; off Johnson, 3, Umpire—Pickett.

In One-Sided Affair 10 to 0—White wash Nearly Administered. Wow! Those pill pettering Sprurels from West Baden bore down upon our city last Sunday and engaged in a little fracas with the Louisville Cubs at home, and ministering a neat coat of kalsomine by the one-sided score of 10 to 0. Steel Arm John was working like a steam derick, letting the Cubs down with three hits about as much chance as a more man at a suffragette meeting. Burdette handed out a varied assortment of benders, the Sprurels getting only seven hits off his offerings, but received punk that were enough to discourage anybody, were made behind him, Rodgers being the chief offender. The score: Sprurels . . . 0 3 5 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 10 7 2 Sprurels . . . 0 3 5 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 0 3 2 Attendance: 1,550. Umpire Wm. Lee. The Hope-Grace game last Saturday was not worthy of recognition, if we are to judge by the score of 25 to 10 in favor of the Hope slayers. Hope seems to sustain a hopeless scare, or it is a drowsy fit of laziness on the part of the crew, with a big excusing for Ellison, whose wonderful team has been defeated by the bat, which has made him the star member of the team. Grace was almost defeated up to the fifth inning, and would have been if the Hope slayers had been killed. We set us hope that better things can be said on next Saturday. . . . It does seem a wonder that Scholling and Rowe have failed to have an eye single to the press agency end of their business. What professional baseball game needs is good newspaper advertising and a live press writer to let people know. Gary Lewis was out to the free game Cary Lewis was out to the free game at Washington park, with his girl, last Saturday. W. D. Neighbors, the banker and real estate man, also publisher of the Chronicle, with E. D. Burts, attended the game last week. Neighbors and I did not get free passbooks this season, but we were unexpectedly recognized at the gate, and a private box, a private box, to show back his generosity. It is rumored that Schorling will not have a colored team next season in the game. The big game of the day was celebrated as Quinn's day, when the Bethshem (white) Chapels were defeated by the Quinn's team, with a score of 5 to 4 in Quinn's favor. Lewis pitched for Quinn, and Green for the Chapels. Quite a portion of the Hope-Neighbors deserted to see the Quinn-Bethshem which created excitement on the center ground.

His 'Gaby Glide' worked him to the point of exhaustion. Mayweather is as funny as ever, and the orchestra at this theater has been greatly improved since Master Oliver Coleman is on the drums.

At a memorial meeting held at St. Mark’s Church, New York City, in honor of the late Justice Harlan, Prof. Wm. L. Bulkley, the only Negro prin. cipal in the New York schools, said that he considered Justice Harlan more courageous than Lincoln, because Lincoln made his fight at a time when all was excitement, blood was hot and demanded justice, but Justice Harlan made his just and bold decisions after the heat of the battle had cooled forty years.—Southern Life Magazine. "It may be that Harlan was more courageous than Lincoln, but we don’t have the proof, as Prof. Bulkley seems to think. It is rather difficult to con- trast the two men, since their spheres of activity were very different. Ac- cording to our view, if one possessed more courage than the other, it was Abraham Lincoln who had it. ‘The very argument Mr. Buikley uses in support of his contention we would use in support of the contention that Mr. Lincoln was the more courageous. His official activity was during a po- litical upheaval; not merely an upset- ting of governmental principles, the thing threatened every four years, but the breaking up of a country. Doubt- less Mr. Lincoln felt himself largely responsible, as individuals so often think themselves when in the thick of catastrophe. He was none too sensi- tive on the point, for it was thought by many thousands that he alone brought on the ruction of the States. And he was not wholly free, since he espoused the tenets of the party that bore him to power. This knowledge of his relation to the impending strug- gle meant burden to him, the kind that tries men’s souls. A nation of turpi tude—with drawn swords—seismic— revolutionary—was the kind that Lin- coln was called to guide. Abraham Lincoln found foes within as well as without—at home and abroad. The whole round world of civilization laughed at the supposed presumption, at what it considered the great misfit—clownish audacity—seek- ing a place among the heads of na- a. i ee L. PRINCE America’s Greatest Versatile Minstrel onl ke (ohne fom Iedy mula. one who can sing and acc 4 tions. He had his own official fam- ily to convert; then the North; finally the South. We cannot think of a more trying time in the life of any other in- dividual known to history. It meant courage of an order not known to mor- tals. To work amid applause {s not work amid hisses and curses. Without seeking to lessen the worth of Justice Harlan, we think it fs plain to see that he had no such great or- deal to undergo, no great cross to bear, and practically alone, as President Lincoln had. Harlan refused to tem- porize. In standing for his kind of justice—unwarped—he had the respect of all well-thinking men, if not their co-operation, He was right, and as we think of right apart from expedi- ency. It required courage to stand for the Negroes against the judgment of his associates on the bench; it re- quired courage to stand opposed to the great majority of the great white race, but it was a different kind to that of Abraham Lincoln. Justice Harlan had all the safe guards about him, even if men did not choose at all times to use them. He had the consciences; he had Chris- tianity and civilization on his side, and, what's more, the Constitution, and by Abraham Lincoln, so to speak. Mr. Harlan’s courage was a thing of poetic justice, denying nothing to what. is ‘conceded all through the laws of God and man. It was, however, theoret- ical, and never at any time approached a test. The test is what the white pol- iticians or statesmen chose to avoid. ‘They hold that the good of the coun- try depends on the avoidance of the test. Harlan may be considered cour- ageous in that through his decisions he invited a struggle that would not end by arbitration only. If we can conscientiously conclude that Justice Harlan’s decisions meant the things hoped for, provided they had prevailed, then, without hesita- tion, we should say that he was the equal of Lincoln. And we think right here lies the gist of the whole busi- ness. In the present state of the coun- try on the Negro question, could the principles of Justice Harlan prevail? If so, it meant the thorough breaking up of the color line everywhere and a complete unison of the white and black as one people, differing in nothing ex- cepting color. Did Justice Harlan have this in mind? ee 40-Performers and Musicians Wanted-4) For the Florida Blossoms Theatrical Company ice me tan® 4 eye cee ee cn, of i213 eaa. fad reputable ‘show to travel with, tT pay whee TU promiso Sagas se show wiiltes Inte sea ee Bae ae ee and open Tale Lag test citer THEY, Owner and Manager Florida Blossous Ob 619 Fouts Manin Auer PETE WOR ee He yea ed, patty ta Pelee ey Tali 25 South See PhunaTony BOP!

Mr. Villard, of the New York Even: ing Post, at the fourth annual confer- ence of the National Association for the Advancement of Negroes, at Chi- cago, said: “I consider Judge Hook's defeat the most striking of all the advances made by the Negro since the last annual con- ference. “There can be no question that Judge Hook would to-day be on the Supreme Bench of the land, even after his intol- erable jim crow car decision, had not the so-called ‘black cabinet’ of Mr. Taft waited on the President and notified him that if this wrong were done to Negro Americans no Negro would speak in the President's behalf during the presidential campaign, and that he could count on the certain hostility of the thinking Negroes of the country.” Very strongly put, but without doubt the situation was greatly influenced by the attitude of the Negroes. Perhaps they have forgotten about it. Mary- land and Illinois could have been saved to Taft by the Negroes, WARNING | Under penalty of the law, any Manager, Team, Per- son or otherwise using the name “Whitman,” ad vertising appearance of same_at their houses will be subject to prosecution.

He constrained that he no longer is entitled he known as "one of the toughest and of the heavyweights.

Maddened by the fact that he was being choked and outguesed at every stage of the game, he ran to bare-faced system of fouling. I passed over a few of these and finally, in ninth, all patience exhausted, and after giving up, I ran to the court. I was about to disqualify hi mand give the contest to the champion when the state police burst into the ring and declared him innocent. Though Johnson won the old question remains: "Is he as good as he was at Reno?" It's hard to answer. There are evidences against it, notwithstanding the fact that he won decisively enough to suit anybody. FLYNN GOES DOWN. Puts Up a Surprisingly Poor Fight With Jack Johnson—Andrews Thinks He Threw Away a Chance By T. S. Andrews. EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M., July 4.—Another championship battle on the heavyweight division has been fought with the heavyweight contender. Jack Johnson was given the decision over Jim Flynn by Referee Smith in the ninth round after Chief Forcour and contest stopped on account of development into a rough house from a boxing match. Up to that time it was clearly Johnson's battle on points for he gave the Puebla Punch a left-handed ishing him badly with right upper cuts and left-hand jabs to the face. Johnson fought the same careful battle that he captured in his hitting solo semifinal connections, once he shot out his right or left. He was a past master at blocking and many of the blows from Flynn swings were neatly blocked. Flynn chance, had he taken it, but he threw it away when he began butting the colored man. He kept yelling at the crowd, and both were warned, but Flynn's butting was so palpable that the referee could not overlook it and if the chief had not interfered the chances are that Smith would have given the fight to Johnson on a foul. Flynn Makes Big Mistake. In the third and sixth rounds Flynn made his best showing. He made the same mistake Tommy Burns did in Australia in carrying the light to Johnson, who was not a player wanted, for there is no boxer living who can put up the battle Johnson can under such conditions. He made the former lightweight, remarked that Flynn had the chance of his life had he fought a careful and long battle, as he felt certain he would have worn Johnson down, but he they all away by useless butting. He would go to Australia and show Sam Langford and Sam McVey that he is master of the whole bunch and that after that he will be ready to re-attack. Art Greiner, who managed the fight with Jack Curley, was sore, and said Flynn fought foul and spilled what chances they had of winning even with the moving picture. Flynn wanted another battle, but Johnson says he will not get it. It was one of the worst championship battles of recent years, so do the game no longer will also kill the sport in this state for a time anyway. Police Stop the Fight. The fight was scheduled to go forty-five rounds, but in the ninth Capt. Fornose, the attack of the personal representative at the ring, the ringmaster McDonald, declared that it was no longer a boxing contest; that it was a cruel fight, and that the fight tactics made its continuance impossible. He jumped into the ring with his deputies and drove the fighters and officiers to follow him to the corner. Referee Ed. Smith told that Johnson had won and the fight was over. Smith displayed no ability throughout the fight. He was cut about the face until blood ran down his breast in a stream. He was utterly helpless from the start, and the sixt was deliberately trying to butt the champion's chin with his head. Time after time as Johnson held him powerless in the clinches, Flynn jerked his head up. Referee Warns Flynn. Smith warned him repeatedly but it did no good. In the seventh he began his hand under John's chin. Coulson's feet were both off the floor time and again with the energy he put into his bounds. Sometimes he seemed to leap two feet into the air in frantic plunges at the elevator door and he reflected. Referee Smith forced Flynn back toward his corner a half dozen times. "Stop that butting," he would say, shaking his finger in Flynn's face; "stop it or I will ask." The — Negro's holding me," Flynn roared back. "He's holding me all the time. He's holding me like this," and reflected to illustrate he referee. Smith faced a good-smester held toward him and waved the two men together again. In the next clinch—it was in the eighth row Flynn fung himself upward again. Smith jumped and held him once more. "Next time you do it I'll disqualify you," he shouted at Flynn; but changed his mind, for it happened again and again in that round and relied on in the ninth before the police took a hand. Champion Holds Back. Through it all the champion was grinning. He evaded Flynn's attacks with the knee with his hands or his head. Only once in the nine rounds did he show any wish to end the fight, and yet ringside opinion was unanimous that he could have put him down. Flynn fancied, whether in the first or the ninth round. The champion opened up only once early in the fight when Flynn landed on the ground, and caught the jaw, delivered during a clench. Johnson appeared netted at his own carelessness and smashed a right upper-cut knife to the knee. He was then man on his feet. Then the champion grinned again and went back to delivering uppercuts in the clinches and covered them with his knee. Apparently Johnson did not attempt to hit hard. He contented himself with a slow, scientific chopping, every blow finding its way through the barricade of Flynn's crouched. It was a perfect exhibition of guarding and hitting in the clinches as far as the champion was concerned. Not only was he forceful, any force behind it. Flynn's blows were tossed aside unless Johnson chose to allow him to batter away at his stomach. Johnson smiling the while over Flynn's When the fight was over there was not a mark on Johnson beyond a cut inside his lower lip, which bled slightly for a few seconds. Immediately after the fight Johnson hastened to the betting counter to collect his wagers on himself. He drove there from the ringside in his automobile and was forced to address the crowd in the big room before he could leave for his flight. Erwin was rushed to his camp from the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER arena. He was not hurt except for the cuts and bruises on his face. He had munging wounds. The fight was utterly lacking in interest. He was like a training bout at Johnson's camp outside of the blood bank, and was not throughout the nine rounds and the crowd accepted the action of the police with apparent relief. Long before the end of the game, the police, Flynn was eager to be disqualified. He was helpless as a child and made no effort to disguise his attempt to do with what his gloves could not accomplish. JACK JOHNSON STILL CHAMPION Securer in Title than Ever—His Victory a Severe Set-Back for White Hopes. Flynn Fought Like a Boy in the Hands of His School-Master. (By Billy Lewis.) JACK J a demon; with soul and body. But his fate had been writ. Perhaps none has been written. There are cessors. There has been the "declivity" of white hopes, like the degrees of adjectives in grammar—bad, worse, worst. It is useful that these spell, Burns, Jeffries, Flynn. At the outcome of the great series of fights recently pulled off in Australia, where Sam McVey was victor in all of his bouts with white men, the Australian police and the Australian Army. They attempted an analysis of the races physically, concluding the white men were not meant to cope physically with black men; insisting that black men more near-approached the brute creation where there a double strength and courage. Whatever it may be, it can be set down, that, with equal conditions, weight, age, preparedness to fight a white man who whip a black man. The courage of courage in the force in the matter. And the Negro man is full of that. The Negro boy will concede a white boy long on intellect; he, with his own dull, plodding being at its level at his readiness to acquire; he will see something almost superhuman at his ease in doing intellectual things, assauling his own dull, plodding being at its level at the gymnasium and ece home! The tables are turned. Now the pale faces hover alongside, struck with amazement at the ease with which Negro boys do physical things, one or two merely as with the gymnasium or the physical purple. It is not too much to say that, No Negro boy thinks a white boy of equal age and size has any business monkeying around him. He has subservient that he can do the work; it is sufficient. Knowing what part courage plays in physical strife, Jim Flynn's position was really pititable. He, himself, started out on the defensive, but he defeat Jack Johnson. What candidate for office would be soukwarmen in his own behalf? He knows that he will win. He means to inspire courage among his supporters against acknowledged defeat? He must see it possible to win. "The race is not to the swiftest one," always; it's the theory of the game. He says, "a captain says go to base one although the batted ball is in the hand of the pitcher. Later on Flynn saw his mistake. He gave it out in a parrot-like way that he believed he could do better. He could not stem that flood of doubt which he himself had helped to set in motion. It was too late, especially when he gave no promise through his achievements, his exhibitions or his training. Ryan, his best man, deserts him in the very hour of battle, writing him a beating word. Like he knotted his jacket, sensus of opinions of sport experts had taken his measure, pronounced him not equal to the occasion. The newspapers heard the hurraff of his crowd of partisans as he entered the ring, but long since they had registered their decision and posted their money according to their opinions, they would take his advice less of his stoutly growing talk of how he was going to do it. As he said before he had given the tip to his own spiritual insufficiency; it did not help him. What did it all mean? Much more than the case never thinks. Never was so so weakly abandoned. Courage, the great necessity, had no lever to foil to that whereabouts where men may fill their spiritual estate of equividence to other men. Flynn entered battle school in which he, particularly in that most essential, how could he hope to win? How did he manage to enter the ring at all, being a single prop on which to lean? Who said he would win? You must win! Flynn, win, and the world will grudge you nothing"** Flynn was right. Flynn was not fitted for the job he was seen stubborn and perverse in his training. He fighting did seem foolish—a battering ram style, with his head ducked down, perishing Johnson to pluck him ad lib. back his arm, a science there was in Flynn's style, giving those stinging uppercasts that made ribbons of his face. Flynn doubtless worked that a good ram-like butt would cause Johnson to put him out of commission, when he would be merely cautioned against the thing, when too late. He acted as a re-actor in the arms of his school master, careering and charging, but all to no purpose. --- The Johnson victory is a most disastrous low to the white hope class. The fireman who was the first to climb Flynn would make a good showing in the interest of the game. But he proved so unfunny, superb, and the fireman that the poes, who will think the tall and uncut. None lops up on the horizon, except one Palzer, and very ground-ally for the ground a-listening to the call. NOTES. Carpenters were yet working on the arena while the fans were entering. They were putting on the finishing touches. Las Vegas was not a Reno by any means. Perhaps, there will never be another Reno; it was a classic. According to report Johnson weighed 212 pounds; some say 219, but 212 is more likely to be correct. Flynn weighed 193 pounds. --- "I never want to see another pair of lips in my mouth or in my it." This is Jack Johnson's second fore- well speech. He promised to emphatically he will retire on the day following I'ad be will retire on the day following I'ad DHNSON. Day. He says that if Palzer wishes to fight him, that he will have to hurry. Johnson picked up $5,000 by way of a side bet. Mrs. Johnson, according to Jack, cleaned up $6,000; enough to tide 'em over this winter without drawing on their main resources. When the $31,000 was paid the champion by Curley, he put on that invincible grin; it stained with him, excepting when Flynn got to butting, when it flitted away for a moment or so. Flynn's supporters from Pueblo, perhaps two hundred in number, and distinguishedd from rooter hats, sat together and were prepared to greet their man when he arrived. Before the mudgets opened fire, Cannon introduced Cass Carver, unknown, with white hope aspirations. He challenged the winner; that is, of the Johnson-Flynn, not the Day-Day bout. No one has ever heard of Cass Carver --- The officials of the big bout as announced at the ringside were Edward Smith, of Chicago, referee; timekeeper for the club, Otto Flotto, of Denver; for Jin Flynn, Al Tearney, of Chicago, also stakeholder; for Johnson, Toman Flanagan. . . . A telegram addressed to the referee, ringside, was delivered just before the right. It was signed McMahon brothers, New York. It was signed Joe Jennec-Johnson match in that city. Another message from New York asked that Johnson be challenged from the ring for Jennec. They were pigeon-hold to await future consideration. Al Palzer wired a challenge to the winner, saying he had posted a $5,000 forfeit to the winner. McMahon wired Flynn a win or lose challenge, the right to be in New York, if arranged. Our Billy McClain was there. He is direct from Australia, perhaps traveled more miles to see the fight than any other individual present. O, you Indianapolis! He is Sam McVey's manager, and expects to be in New York. His chances for a scrap don't look good. A tremendous ovation was given Flynn what he and Doller Abu. The thrill, Haines, Chick Coleman and Ray Marshall. Johnson's reception isn't so warm. At the windup the coldfeeters came through in good style. They fairly gave him the chauauta unanimity. At 2:49 the battle began. The rounds are fired. A man of Johnson, who seemed determined to draw the gun, is be in order to give the picture people a chance. Flynn was at his mercy all . . .

Flynn has gone back or standing still, while Johnson has passed him like a man on horseback. "I paid Johnson $31,000 yesterday," Curley declared. "The gate receipts of the fight will amount to approximately $855. Every dollar of the expenses of smoting, shooting, and impersonally, no one else being interested with me. The financial end was a complete failure. I stand to lose about $15.00 from money, to say nothing of the $10,000 put up by the business men of Las Vegas." ... It is now said that the official statement of the affair shows that Jack Johnston, $21,000 for his two months' work instead of the $31,000 promised. Johnson got $1,100 before he left Chicago to begin his two days before the contest, when things looked extremely bad for a big house, he agreed with Manager Curley to take less, and notes, well secured, for $8,000 before the fight. These were taken up later. THE JOHNSON-FLYNN FIGHT TOLD BY ROUNDS LAS VEGAS, N. M.—The ring was cleared at 2:48, with Announcer Cannon making remarks referring to the men governing the contest. After men had discussed these rules, time was called at 2:48. Round 11: Will you shake hands, Jack? "Quicker," Flynn said. Flynn answered by rushing into a clinch, "No," retorted the black. Flynn kept in close, but Johnson easily avoided his attempts and flung the rope. Flynn pushed his man across the ring and then hooked his left to the ear, and a moment later flung a hard short-arm jolt in the rope. Flynn fought with great care. Flynn backed the Negro against the ropes and the champion rewarded him with a right that cut him flush under his left eye. Round all Johnson. Round 2—As Flynn rushed, Johnson simply grasped him about the shoulders and nudged him along, nudging like an ape. The champion pecked at the fireman's face with light lefts, and as they clinched twice uppercuff, twice lowercuff, the champion toed with Flynn, twice more shooting right uppercuff to the jaw, one of which sent the fireman's head bobbing. The explosion early indicated we would be a battle and that as of the time and again exchanging his usual repartee with the spectators. Flynn's mouth bled as he took his seat, very much worsted, the three minutes of fighting in this round. Round 3—Flynn cut short a remark of Johnson by twice hooking his right to the mouth, then pulling his left loose with short-arm uppercuff to the jaw. Johnson bled slightly from the mouth as he emerged from a midrising auxuple, Flynn spat blood in a stream, and champion bled his mouth with a volley of rights or Round 4—Flynn rushed in close and was met with the customary rain of right hand upward. He seemed to it seemed that Johnson was holding himself in check. He shook Flynn with a few stomach taps, scarcely trying to protect his body from Flynn's attacks. Johnson was shaken and then him to blaze away, which convinced the spectators. Flynn excited a great cheer when he rushed Johnson to the ropes and planted a solid left to the jaw. The round ended and he covered with blood. Johnson's round. Round 5—Johnson turned his head to the spectators and hardly noticed his antagonist, who angled away at the screen and this him further uped up and shot four left to the face in quick succession, varying it with a left uppercut to the jaw. Flynn, at close range, sent half a dozen punches to the screen and again made no apparent attempt to protect his midsection. Johnson aroused the crowd to merriment by releasing Flynn's gloves like a happing cold gin, together like a happening cold gin, and while he's holding me." shouted Flynn, protesting to the referee. The round ended then, with Johnson holding a run-around conversation with his wife and second Round 4 - Flynn butted with his head three times and complained that Johnson made it justifiable by holding him. Flynn made it justifiable by holding him. Flynn butted the champion. Flynn tried to find a loophole to stem the beating given him. Johnson dazed the fireman with his speed, landing left and right to the jaw. He's maddened, landed a volley of straight left and right punches to the face, fairly bewildering Flynn, then he stopped himself, apparently with a view to prolonging the contest. Flynn's seconds also warned him to stop, and he made a minute's note. Johnson to the spectator is shown for hi into end it. Flynn bleed profusely from the nose as Johnson beat a tattoo with left and right to that organ. Flynn failed to land a glove on the champion, and Johnson to the spectator made the blood fairly spurt as he rained blow after blow on his bewildered opponent. There was not a drop of blood on Johnson as he took his seat. Round 8 - Flynn tried to butt again, but he 7 like its predecessors, with Johnson upper-cutting and Flynn butting viciously, at the same time losing a world of blood. Flynn was helpless in the champion's hands, and the time in this round was warned, the referee saying: "Once more and I'll disguise you." Round 9—Johnson held the fireman at arms length in an attempt to guard himself against the fireman's constant butting. Flynn finally got in close, jumped forward and landed with the top of his head against Johnson. The attainment of Police Cowles, realizing that the referee seemed loath to end the contest on a foul, jumped into the ring and brought the battle to an end. Referee thereupon gave the decision to Johnson. Cowles was given a terrific cheer while the crowd wended its way out of the arena. AT THE SCENE OF THE FIGHT. EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M., July 4—Jim Flynn, battered and beaten at all stages of the contest, evidently attempted to force the referee to give Johnson the monkey wrist, repeatedly warned against using four tactics, the man repeatedly offended by bullying into a black champion until Captain Fred Formoff, or the state mounted police, jumped in and ring and stopped the battle. Captain Flynn, because it was no longer a prize fight, but had become a slaughter and a brutal exhibition. Today, as a result of the terrific beating by a Flynn's nose was broken, both eyes blown, his cheek laid open and his lips and both ears were puffed up enormously. Johnson, on the other hand, bore no mark of the so-called battle, except two slight, puffed lips, which he received when Flynn deliberately butted him in the mouth. Thinks He Was Robbed. Best for Years to Come. The consensus of opinion her today was that it will be many years before a heavyweight fighter is developed capable of weighing in and making a foul and hopeless fight almost from the start. As early as the third round it was evident he had no chance. In the second round with warned the white man, stepping the plate, that he would award the decision to Johnson unless Flynn stopped his butting tactics. In the seventh Watson Burns, Johnniel Cain, loudly claimed a foul, but Flynn continued to butt Johnson in the same manner. Jack evidently tried to overlook the dirty work, but in the eighth he could still referee. Smith again stopped the contest and gave Flynn what he called a final warning. Johnson seemed serious in the face, but he was still with a vicious straight left jab about minute after the round began. The Puebloan, angered because of the blow, deceived him. Smith was in the mouth three times before Smith could speak. Formoff jumped into the ring and stopped the fight and Smith tapped him on the back, awarding him the decision. Smoke Joshed Crowd. Except in the last couple of rounds, when Flynn insisted on butting, Johnson towered high above the white man in the clinches and good-natured joshed and joshed with the crowd and with Flynn. Whenever he seriously tried land a way, Johnson displayed a cleverness and ease in blocking and getting away that made Flynn look like the veriest tycoon. Pans who saw both the Las Vegas and Reno rechts, in which Johnson participated, declared today that the Reno fiasco was really more of a fight than that of yesterday. $1.00 a year, The Freeman during July.

Miss East will be ready to begin work just as soon as a few more students are registered. Louisville is rather dull at this season of the year. On the Fourth of July there were several private picnics. A number of the folks crowded into the local theaters, some of whom were the Johnson-Flynn fight. The folks were very much enthused over the fight, as it was expected that Johnson would win. Quite a number of teachers are leaving for summer resorts. The position of principal of the Central Colored high school is yet unsettled. The superintendent is in California. There will be no action until his return. The field is full, and the students hope that the best person will win out and that Louisville will have a high school second to none. The Jack Johnson fight was reported through school of stenography at the Olon theater. There were seven other theaters who were striving to take down the news as it came over the wire, but the students were forced to receive the complete news. Many of the stenographers fell behind and were forced to have the messages repeated. Louisville politicians are hanging betwixt and between. It seems that a number of them have determined that they will win, while a few say that Teddy is great. Wilson, in many cases, is the favorite unless some other candidate is put up by the Republicans. The outlook seems pointless as points are to sure victory for the democrats, but Republicans are all together it is hard for them to win; now they are split, the results are doubtful. Mr. Phil Brown who has charge of the Taft Colored headquarters, is in Washington, D. C., conferring with some of those higher up. --- Postmaster Wood and others connected with the Louisville postoffice, have the examination postmaster's chances of appointment in Louisville postoffice seems doubtful to the writer.

Near the postmaster, the goblins will get you yet. ... The Louisville Courier Journal reported this week that the Negro Outlook Committee, composed of twenty-five public met and were about to decide on the location of play grounds for colored children. It is hinted that this committee was to be formed, and Chestnut streets would be bandoned by colored children and given to the whites. As chairman of the play ground committee, we wish to state that we believe that such wish. We believe that not only the grounds at Sixteenth and Magazine streets, should be given to the colored children, but that they should continue playing there. Jefferson streets.
