Colored Advisory Committee to Assist the Republican National Committee—Bishop Walters Tendered a Banquet—Richard T. Greener Delivers Address, (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, IL, Oct. 9.—(Special)—The funeral of the late FREV. Jordan Chavis was held on Sunday at Quinn A. M. E. church, which proved fatal. He was at his home, 3600 Vernon avenue. After he has eaten his breakfast he went to his room feeling badly and was suddenly seized with a stroke of appoplex, which proved fatal. It was one week before he was occurred in Chicago for many a day. Rev. Chavis was the pastor of the North Clark Street Baptist church, and had recently succeeded in paying off its indebtedness. He was fifty-six years old, and had been born in Illinois to Illinois with his parents at an early age and resided here ever since. His heart was in the Eighth Illinois National Guard, and was a close and loyal friend. He was R. A. Rev. Chavis was chaplain in the Eighth Regiment, and saw service in Cuba. A few months ago, at Springfield, IL, he delivered the annual sermon on Sunday, and it was the finest he had ever pre- Grand Master of U. B. F.'s. He was State Grand Master of the United Brothers of Friendship, and during August last was elected in this city to the national Grand Mastership of that order. He was also an also Odd Fellow, a Knight of Pythias, Mason, Annie Walker and Bentley and an international reputation. He was buried with military honors. The procession was headed by Col. John R. Marshall and Lieut. J. H. Johnson and the field staff officers of the colored and Bright Regiment band, followed by the regiment and Bentley and an officer. A number of the national grand officers of the U. B. F.'s rode in carriages. Thousand View Parade. Along the line of march thousands of people stood and watched the procession, paying high tributes to the long and useful Rev. Chavis to the city, state and his wife. He was attended by thousands. Nearly every minister in the city was given an opportunity to say a few words over the remains. General Dickerson and the Rev. McLachlan the speakers who were very touching in the procession. Rev. E. J. Fisher. Rev. Martin, Rev. Thomas. Rev. Roberts and a number of preachers who were life-long friends of the drum corps. They their tributes to the deceased minister. One of the most touching parts of the ceremony was the taps by three members of the drum corps. There were the dancers banked around the casket, which he had opened. It was partly covered with an American flag. The funeral services were under the direction of Mr. Jackson. One of the largest bodies present was that of the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten and the Anna Walker Club. Resolutions were read from the various organizations which he was a member and from the church. He was pastor. The body was taken to Jackson's undertaking establishment to remain until the next morning for burial. he was buried at Glenwood cemetery. He was a wife and three sons to mourn his death. Republican Activity. Major R. R. Jackson has returned to the city from a trip to New York City, where he was in conference with Mr. Hiles of the national Republican committee. A member of the Republican committee was formed, with headquarters at 76 W. 11st street. Messrs. Glirchrist Stewart, Fred R. Moore are to have charge of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey; Mr. Cummings, Delaware and Maryland; J. L. Hammings, Indiana and Missouri; J. Solomon Gaines, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Island; Major R. R. Jackson, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa; Phil Waters, Indiana and Missouri; J. Solomon Gaines, Massachusetts. These eight Republicans are to be at once to organize in the various cities their jurisdiction and report to Mr. Hailer. Our friend, Phil Brown, is still sending out some very fine copy to the various newspapers in favor of Taft and Sherman, while Mr. A. N. Fields is brilliantly managing Colonel Roosevelt. All the local newspapers are ready to accept matter, as they use "stuff" from any party. Bishop Walters in the City. toastmaster. Mr. Ross introduced the bishop as the leader of the new Negro Democracy and president of the national colored Democratic headquarters of New York. The bishop made a forceful and interesting speech, and he campaigned, giving reasons that were convincing as to why the Negro should break away from the old traditions and strike out for independence along political lines. Before, we were making strenuous efforts to get the Negro vote, and said that as Mr. Lincoln led out first for the emancipation of the Negro, so would Wilson prove a second emancipator. He eulogized Wilson and Marshall to the highest. He told the county commissioners' office, spoke on "Negro Leaders," and Thomas Wallace Swann, formerly of this city but now of New York, spoke at length on the subject of publicity. He took the stand that the colored population was the weapon of the politician and that the information that used to come from the preacher at political times has not the influence as in former days, and that this is so recognized by campaign managers, who press for advertising and political influence. Prof. Richard T. Greener, one of the leading men of the race in this country, spoke on the "Political Conditions." He delivered a fine address and was liberally Newby, Dr. Joseph A. Kelly, D. J. Boyle, George H. Jackson, J. Gray Lucas and Joseph Briggs spoke. Among those present were Piley, J. H. Turner of Warnington, Ideon. R. T. Greener, R. N. Johnson (Minnesota), J. G. Boyle, F. G. Foster, of the national Democratic headquarters; J. Gray Lucas, George A. Wilkinson, editor, the Defender Joseph Briggs, T. Adellan, Dr. B. H. Anderson, Dr. J. A. Kelly, Wm. Clark, Thomas McCain, E. M. Shoecraft, Earl Kernan, editor, the Defender James A. Ross, Thomas W. Swann, Bishop Alexander Walters and Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Broadaxe. The bishop left the next day for Springfield, IL, where he was scheduled the last of the week to hold a conference with the national campaign committee at the Karpen building on Wabash avenue. The bishop was accompanied to Springfield by Senator T. T. Allain. Misses Harriet Slatter and Miss Audrey Newman have been employed at the Democratic headquarters as stenographers and typewriters. Miss Corn Hubbard, of Springfield, IL, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Morgan, of Thirty-fourth and Wentworth avenue. Mrs. Charles Pickett, who has been the guest of Colonel and Mrs. John R. Marshall, has returned to her home at Washington, D. C. Mrs. Pickett was elaborate for five successive weeks. Her husband will be in the city the first of next week. Col. John R. Marshall was called to Springfield last week by Governor Deenne for a political conference. The colonel is working like a Trojan for the election of the governor, who has won for the Bight of Redington, of which Mr. Marshall is colonel. Colonel Marshall was very much grieved over the death of the Rev. Jordan Chavis, who died suddenly last Tuesday. Rev. Chavis the colonel sent to the Bight, the Rev. Bradden will be appointed chaplain of the regiment. Mrs. Mayme Smith Oden, one of the most charming of the marines folks of Rev. has been killed all this week. Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery. Head of Publicity Bureau. Cary B. Lewis, with recommendations from Col. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal; Bishop Alexander pointed the head of the publicity bureau of the West of the National Democratic League. Mrs. Josephine Green, of Boston, Mass., is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Maxwell, 3634 Forest avenue. Mrs. Green is a dashing and charming widow, and the young men are making it very pleasant for her. She will be in the city for seven weeks. . . . Miss Mabel Smith, stenographer of the Freeman, formerly of this city, was at her home here on Saturday and Sunday, and she was a frequent visitor to Miss Mabel's mother had quite a number of her daughter's schoolmates present on the day of her arrival, and a most enjoyable time was spent. She received a number of beautiful birthday remembrances. --- An article on Rube Foster, his team and their trip to California will be published DALLAS DOTS. Dr. A. K.

An Unholy Alliance Said to Exist Between the Bolters and Democrats to Put the Colored Brother out of Politics—What do Negroes Think of it? (By Phil H. Brown, Assistant Director of Publicity, National Republican Committee.) CHICAGO, Ill. Oct. 8.—The cat is out of the bag! WHAT CHAUNCEY DEWEY SAID. "The Negroes are making the mistake of their lives. The time has come when the Republican party cannot protect them, and the Democrats are their enemies. They had better make their peace with the new Progressive party. If they don't join hands with the Democratic party and distrust the Negroes in the North," Roosevelt said that he would not appoint any Negroes in the South." From the very outset we have contended that the Progressives intended to do all in their power to distranchise the Northern colored people, and that they were exploiting the candidacy of Roosevelt of the Democratic party, but we never dreamed that they would brag about it. Chauncey Dewey Talks. The Hon. Chaucey Dewey, Progressive national committeeman from the state of Illinois, director of the Roosevelt campaign, Western states, an intimate friend of Roosevelt, has openly threatened that the Bull Moose party will join hands with the Democrats and accomplish the disfranchisement of the Northern Negro. He has stated the unfulfilled alliance between the progressive party and the admitted that his party was trying to destroy the grand old party of Lincoln and Grant. He used the threat of disfranchisement to clout the intelligent colored man of North into the corral of the Bull Moosers. Prôminent Negroes Present. From mouth to mouth this remarkable threat made by the Bull Moose chief was circulated in Chicago until now it is the talk of the town. People who had known Mr. Dewey for years doubted the truth of the report. Several of them went to see it inference it it and then repeated what he had said at the LaSalle to them. It this assertion had come from an indictment of Mr. Dewey Roosevelt and less active in the dissemination of his propaganda, it would be allowed to pass unnoticed, but coming from a Dewey was created a sensation in Chicago colored community unequalled in this campaign. PADUCAH, KY. It was Sunday night at Burk's chapel that the pastor and congregation were surprised to learn that in their midst was Miss Emily Kinch, who is a missionary to Africa. Miss Kinch delivered an interview to the pastor, Mrs. L. McDonald, of Kangaroo Island, and made a very able address. Burk's chapel is making ready for the general conference, which convenes here October 16... Mrs. Mattie Lacy and Mrs. Hattie Hawler, of St Louis are visiting friends in Paducah. Get the Freeman of J.

Better throw, bouquets than brickbats. Failure is caused by germs from within. A gib talker is nine-tenths liar. Watch it! No patriot will ask for pay for his vote. There is plenty of "standing room" at Armagedon. To settle an argument, just call the other fellow a liar. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, our optimism is unshaken. Are you really a reformer, or merely an agitator, seeking office? And now we have the "Negro millionaire"—else than on paper. The Fifteenth Amendment is still a part of the organized law of the land. The true race journal must be an advocate, as well as a newspaper. The friend who is always willing to oblige his fellows is a busy man. It takes "grease" to make the wheels of any enterprise to run smoothly. This is a bad year for "white hopes," "four-fushers," and false leadership. The B. M. C. may go to Boston in 1914. To be forewarned is to be fore-armed. Give President Newman, of Howard University, a chance to prove his worth. The spotlight shines for all who deserve to be included within its rays. Don't shove! That eminent pensmith and platform chieftain, W. Allison Sweeney, has "come back." Nashville will give the National Medical Association the time of its life next August. No big leader can justly be held responsible for the pig-headedness of his fool "friends." A fellow might have some money, if he didn't find it necessary to buy so many things he doesn't need. Let it not be forgotten that it was President Taft who put peonage "on the blink" in the Southland. No big man should be blamed for the follies of his fool friends—of which he is sure to have an abundance. Haiti has another new cabinet. Its tenure will be determined by circumstances, rather than by law. No boy or girl trained at Tuskegee Institute has been known to fall in the battle of life. Stick a pin there! Bishop Charles Henry Phillips is making the wing in ring in many quarters for the historic C. M. E. church. In almost any kind of a "Congress," the fool with a notion gets more notoriously the scholar with an idea. Who is it that does not wish to be "boss" of something? Why this concerted yell against the so-called "boss"? Keeping peace among his followers is one of the first and most exacting tasks to which a "leader" must direct his talents. Marriage between the races may be rent, but it is doubtful expediency—as a number of recent incidents will illustrate. --- If a bunch of bachelor girls enter into a common agreement not to get married, is that a "combination in restraint of trade"? No "Gyp, the Blood" or "Lefty Loule" has appeared among the Negroes of the land. We are not the farthest down in either crime or poverty. "Church expansion" in Zion is postponed, but the spirit is not dead. It will be greatly in evidence at the Louisville general conference in 1916. The success the Negro is achieving in retaining their hold upon the Elks, Knights of Pythias, etc., is leading black men to try to become Red Men. The shoe dealers, anxious to work off their winter goods, are arousing the comfort-loving populace to the dangers of wearing low shoes after October 1. "Top-speed" must be made every day, if you would win out in the fierce competition of the times. There is no such thing as "slacking up" in the race. No "Wood" Knox is not named after "Woodrow" Wilson, as far as we have been able to find out. His cognomen is a contraction of "Elwood"—so there. The marvel of the decade is the steady growth of Tuskegee Institute. There is nothing of the mushroom about Booker T. Washington's "Black Bat" bee-hive. The reporter is yet to be born who can satisfy all of the conflicting elements that make up a political, religious or fraternal convention. Try it, you who "know it all." The hat of Dr. J. B. Colbert is still in the ring for the Zion bishopric in 1915, emphasizing the golden opportunities of the Church of Varkin in the productive West. It is charged that many of the delegates to the Charlotte conference of the Zion church went there not to elect anybody, but to keep somebody from being elected. While at Howard University, President Thirkield said "go South" to aspiring young colored men. Bishop Thirkield, now New Orleans, says "come South." Sage advice. --- As far as we have been able to observe, the effect of prohibition is to make men drink more liquor—and of an inferior grade. “Tis true, ‘tis a pity; and pity ‘tis, ‘tis true.” The colored Baptists, according to statistical report made at the Houston convention, now number 2,444,855, and a net loss of losses, is reported for the current year. The story of the success of others, hubby’s success, that is the underlying spirit that keeps the National Negro Business League alive and causes it to grow stronger with the years. Architect W. Sidney Pittman is making a brilliant success in Texas. He is the in-law of Dr. Booker T. Washington, but does not “trade” on the fact. He just sails in and wins on his own merits. The authorities are to widen the roadway approaching the White House offices at Washington. Must have gotten word that the redubutable George Washington Christ is on his way to see President Taft. --- Mrs. Laura A. Hamilton, a colored woman, has secured the position of postmistress at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, by civil service examination. This is where the Tenth cavalry was stationed upon its return from the Philippines. George W. Hayes is the only Negro in the employ of the United States Court at Cincinnati, Ohio, being a court crier, a position he has held with honor to himself and credit to our race for more than thirty years. He is also an ex-member of the Ohio legislature, a member of the S. C. M. of the Odd Fellows and is prominent in the religious and educational affairs of his home community. One Dr. Knopf, at a recent conference of medical experts, makes the belated announcement of an increased risk of killer flies to many disasters can be traced directly to this form of expressing the affections of men and women. No matter how exasperating the emergency, safe and sure Emmett J. Scott has never been known to lose his head. This remarkable young man has a brilliant future before him, based upon solid character and meritorious achievement. The National Negro Business League goes to Philadelphia next August, and to Muscogee, Okla, in 1914. Both are excellent selections. Dr. Washington selections, the third time the people, alternating between the North, South, East and West. --- Now that President George A. Gates is to retire from the headship of Fisk University, another fine opening is made for a competent colored educator. This opportunity to recognize Negro brain executive ability should not be overlooked. --- --- It just looks odd to see Brother Ira T. Bryant lauding the wisdom and lofty courage of his brother, Joey A. M. E. church, but it indicates that circumstances alter cases and that church politics, like the common or garden variety, makes strange bed-fellows. --- Miss Mabel Scott, daughter of Bishop I. B. Scott, charmingly rendered a piano player, was a nationalness league in Chicago and made a fine impression as an accomplished musician. Miss Scott has taken charge of the music department at the University for the Deaf and Dumb, at Austin, Texas. --- Gurley Brewer, orator, philosopher, statesman and journalist, becomes second vice president of the National Negro Press Association, a national commonwealth made famous by the illustrious Oliver P. Morton, Benjamin Harrison, Richard W. Thompson, the elder, James Whitcomb Riley, Edward E. Cooper and George L. Knox. S. H. Dudley will soon control all of the colored theaters in the Tidewater region of Virginia, drawing on an immense collection of books and giving steady employment to an army of colored performers. Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, Phoebus, Fortress Monroe, Portsmouth, Suffolk and other towns are located in this "Tidewater" belt. With Negroes building air-ships instead of air-cars, making cigars, constructing bridges, building scrapers, bringing the first bale of cotton to market, and accumulating a half-million dollars worth of property in ten years, the race may be said to be "governmental," with the meetings and National Negro Business League and take on some race pride! The so-called "business men" of Bluefield, W. Va., showed that modern civilization had done nothing for them by ordering the colored business men to move to Bluefield, where they were of the tour of run the risk of having their places dynamited. There are white people who insist upon living "behind the sun," and these Bluefield "crackers" are the most helpless examples of that type we have heard of in many a moon. Dr. James E. Shepard, the virile president of the National Religious Training School at Durham, N. C., is a doctor of divinity, by virtue of his position as the executive Muskingum College, Ohio, and the polished and popular Register J. C. Napier is a doctor of laws, by a similar vote of the trustees of grand old Wilberforce University, in the same sense. Beth honors fall upon shoulders of men who serve well their day and generation. Dr. C. V. Roman, Nashville's luminous specialist, went down to Texas the other day, and received an ovation that a king might well have envied. He is the intellectual genius of the A. M. E. church, as well as a shining light in the medical will of Nashville, yet come to him at the hands of his church brethren. He is "sitting tight" and watching developments. The eminent Nashville is undoubtedly "the noblest Roman of them all." Dr. Booker T. Washington says: "There are places in the South today for 5,000 additional Negro dry goods stores, 8,000 grocery stores, 3,500 drug stores, 2,000 shoe stores, 1,500 millinery stores and Negro grocery stores in the Negroes in country shall advance the economic directions, the teacher, the minister, the business man, and all others who are interested in race and national development must co-operate." To which all thinking Negroes will say "Amen!" Major John R. Lynch, retired, formerly paymaster in the United States army, and a business league meeting in Chicago. The major lives in Chicago and not long ago took unto himself a blushing bride. He is in excellent health and his friends rejoice. He is a day older since that memorable hour when he mounted the platform in the Chicago convention of 1884 as the temporary chairman of the Republican national convention. When asked at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business League if the hair they wore was the result of the dress worn by the ladies turtured, the ladies who spoke on the subject hesitated about answering, and the point was established by the chivalrous ladies who was a purely personal one and that the lady speakers need not make any confessions on the subject. Right! If the ladies took all to the good, it is none man's business how they manage to do it. Prof. Charles H. Moore, to whose herculean labors a large measure of the success of the past three or four conventions of the National Negro Eusiness League is due is trying to retire from the position of president of the organizer of the league and has served notice that he cannot go through another campaign for the cause, as other interests are demanding his attention. It is hoped that he can be in touch with the people as he is just the kind of a man needed for the work of the league, and such well-coupled men are hard to find. --- The Star of Zion makes a timely call for the competent "local preacher," and the Church of Jesus Christ in each congregation who can deliver a burning message of hope to the people, the church pastor, and the church pastor. Brother Clement points out that some of the ablest men in the Methodist church started out as local preachers and then went on to work in the denomination. Speaking to the unified BER of the S. prom-ral af-ference and an-den di- the af-ence of a local expounder of the Word, brothers Clements says: "He should be a man of good reputation, known plety, sound judgment, and good sense, and whose ambition is to serve his home church and circuit for the glory of God. Such a man should not be dependent upon the gospel for a living. He can be a blacksmith, carpenter, shoemaker, barber, farmer, teacher, etc. and thus, like Paul, the tent-maker, breach a whole gospel with all the more freedom." NEWS OF CUTHBERT, GA.

THE WORDS OF OTHERS I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you sent me. 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. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones. Several weeks ago I foolishly laid the chamois bag containing the two TWO LOADSTONES INSTEAD OF ONE THE SECRET OF PERSONAL MAGNETISM, ITS MARVELLOUS AND MYSTERIOUS FORCE, WHICH GIVES WONDERFUL MENTAL AND PHYSICAL STRENGTH, LUCK, SUCCESS AND POWER, ALL REVEALED AT LAST.

Y. only laid the chamois bag containing the two Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was fretted and finding fault with everything. I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything as far as I am concerned, is moving along nicely, but my husband, who laughed when the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, OCT 12, 1912. "Pass prosperity around." Oh, yes, pass it once more to Mr. Roosevelt. The three hundred prisoners that became a mob in a Wyoming prison will not be able to prove an alibi, at any rate. The Drs. Norrell are said to be back again with the G. O. P. Evidently they found it pretty rough sailing with land nowhere in sight. The Indiana avenue restaurants have cut their ten-cent lunches with eggs. Doctor Roosevelt might prescribe a remedy of how to keep them in reach. The police are of the opinion that a Negro did the shooting in the Scanlan roadhouse case. That's what the police are for. Time will tell if they are right. George L. Knox is home from Chicago, where he has been looking over the political situation. He says that Taft is growing every day. Every day that intervenes between now and the election means a distinct loss to the Bull Moose forces. I wonder what the lads and lassies of Portland would do if a law should be passed prohibiting kissing—The Advocate, Portland, Ore. Just consider the law as of innocuous desuetude, and keep right on with the osculatory program. In these days, when people are too busy to turn poets, we do well to keep ours and cherish him. Mr. Riley is getting up into the years, but not nearly so many as some think; he's only fifty-nine, and younger still if he thinks so. As the campaign wages more and more, the goodly qualities of President Taft loom up. The opposition of Mr. Roosevelt has helped greatly to show Mr. Taft in his true light. As much as has been said of him, not one damaging accusation sticks; his armor is un pierced. The National Colored Progressive Bureau at Chicago is rather hard put for convincing stuff to get out among the voters. Every evidence in the world of a strenuous effort to say something, but really there's nothing to say—so they just deal in speculative philosophy. The change from Roosevelt to Taft has been most pronounced within the past few days. It is no more than was expected by those who thoroughly understood the situation. It required time to unfold to the people the gigantic wrong of Mr. Roosevelt's effort to break through the third-term traditions of the county. This alone should be sufficient to defeat any man. Mr. Taft is the legally and regularly nominated candidate of the Republican organization. In my opinion as fairly and honestly nominated as any other candidate the party has ever had.—Bishop Hood. Elihu Root said the same thing. The nomination was just as fair and square as any ever made at a nominating convention. William H. Taft is as ideal as a President as any individual that has graced the chair. He is a splendid American; dignified, modest, learned, sagacious. Really he is proving to be a find. Mr. Roosevelt had better go back to his first estimate of the President, when he was not filled up with the desire to be President himself. Mr. Taft is all Mr. Roosevelt said of him, and more. New York's magnificent new State education building is now completed, and will be dedicated in October. It is considered one of the finest structures in the world devoted to educational administration. It is surrounded by what is said to be the longest colonnade in existence. The building cost $3,500,000. Prominent educators of this country and abroad have been invited to be present at the dedication ceremonies. An increase in significance of the A. M. degree is planned by university authorities. Yale and Rutgers now require two years of study after graduation for this degree, whereas one year has been the requirement heretofore. The aim is to raise the standard of the A. M., so that it will be sought by highly qualified men and women who have no special inclination for the pure research work demanded for the Ph. D. Plus J. Cooper, representative of the Catholic Truth and Catholic Colored Mission, has been in the city a few days looking after the interests of his --- publications. Mr. Cooper's name, Pius, will readily proclaim the religion of his family. He says that information from as far back as it is possible to get it find his foreparents Catholics. When he was born Pope Plus IX was on the papal throne; he was named Pius by his parents after that great pontiff. He is a Negro. "On the regular pay roll of the executive mansion there are twenty colored employees, whose annual salaries aggregate $11,562. One colored employee in the White House garage receives a salary of $780 per annum. A number of colored men and women are employed for duty at functions during the social season, and their pay in the aggregate amounts to more than $1,000. The total amount paid to Afro-Americans at the White House is nearly $20,000 per annum." The death of Rev. John J. Smallwood is one of the recent regrettable happenings. He was known throughout the country as the founder of the Temperance, Industrial and Collegiate Institute of Claremont, Virginia, of which he was president. Some years ago he did considerable traveling in the interest of his school, during which time he visited Indianapolis, where he became favorably known among the prominent colored men. Rev. Smallwood was earnest and zealous in his work, making an excellent impression on those whom he solicited for funds. He died in Richmond, Va. Bishop Walters, in setting forth his reasons for being a Democrat, said recently, among other things: "If Democracy stands for anything at all, it stands for the brotherhood of man and the rule of the people. And the principles of Democracy will triumph ultimately. It is the light in our republic that is to shine more and more onto the perfect day. Its growth is continuous. The Negro, being a member of this great republic, will be a recipient of its blessings." Well, that's what we've been waiting for, to be the recipients of its blessings. We think that we say none too much when we say that the party offering the best inducements by way of the enlargement of civil and political liberty will be looked on most favorably by the Negro. As between individuals at this time, there is not much choice when it comes to friendship to the race. As between parties there is still a reason for preference, even if not so marked as formerly. The Republican party is still in the lead, and until other parties overtake it, and surpass it, the Negroes will be wise in clinging to it. POET RILEY. Last Monday was Riley day, in honor of our poet, James Whitcomb Riley. He has done so many nice things for the children—the very young children—that he seems to feel to be their poet. Of course, he has written for all—from the cradle to the grave, but the child have been his forte—his invisible once, as it were. And the poets and their kind do have visions. Riley's prometheus apparently unbound when he talked to his audiences of little ones, where no guile was writ. Here interest is sometimes so intent, among these, that it is painful. Note the simplicity when telling the Christmas stories; we hate to do it, but the greater sin would be to snatch this romance out of their lives. So on with the story—the old unveracity of above eighteen hundred years. But the great untruth helps fix a greater truth which it is needless to mention here—the harm, if any, is offset by the good. It is these interesting audiences that we have in mind, and which drew on Mr. Riley for his best, as it is understood. There has been a spirit of reciprocity. He claimed them; they acknowledged the claimant, because of the distinguished consideration. THE COLONEL'S NEGRO POLICY. Some colored men of the North pretend not to believe what is called the Roosevelt suffrage. They have it that he meant something else than what is being said of him. For the good of the race we only wish what the Roosevelt apologizers insist was true. It is no pleasure for thoughtful persons to feel that a man who had enough influence and support to become President is against them. Mr. Roosevelt's defenders will not have it that he has expressed himself without reserve on the point. One prominent Negro Bull Moose had never heard of his position on Negro suffrage. When he was told about it he made effort to laugh it down, insisting that it was merely campaign rumor to hurt the new party. And this very defense, insisting that the talk of his attitude was merely campaign rumor, was very effective campaign against the Colonel. This admirer would not believe that his idol could think of such a thing. He did think of it, and he did say it; he has not denied it. And one will think that he does not care to deny it. In fact, he wants it understood as he gives it out, so in event of his election the colored brother will know just what to expect. Southern men have no doubt as to what Mr. Roosevelt means. The following note from New Orleans will be helpful in clearing up the understanding; date, October 1: "While speaking at the Roosevelt meeting here last week John M. Parker, the Colonel's leading henchman in this State, told of the aims of the Progressives, the organization of a white man's party being one of their cherished ambitions." On the point Mr. Parker delivered himself thus: "This movement means that Louisiana shall have an opportunity to throw off the old incubus of single-party government. It means that the old bogeys of the civil war and the Negro in politics shall be killed for all time. Colonel Roosevelt has already stirred up more practical workers in Louisiana politics than did Bryan—more than Wilson can ever reach." Now, perhaps there is doubt of Mr. Parker being an authentic Roosevelt mouthpiece. Here follows the Colonel's stamp: "I like a dead-straight man who is THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. also a dead game man, and Parker is both." If there lingers further doubt, we will have to pass up the point. If our obtuse friends prefer the Roosevelt attitude it is quite another thing—everybody to their likings. We can't help saying, however, that if they do prefer the attitude they show very bad taste. PAST WEEK AT LOUISVILLE New Lincoln Institute—A Visit to Henderson, Ky.-What About the Hotel Proposition? (By Lee L. Brown, 1006 West Chestnut Street, Home Phone, City 4511.) The night schools have opened with a very encouraging attendance. The Garden theater has closed for the season. It is likely that the Ruby theater will open up in the near future under the same management. Your correspondent was in Bowling Green and Auburn, Ky., last week on business for the Kentucky Home Society for Colored Children. Teddy Roosevelt, the great Bull Moose chief, is due to speak in Louisville on the 16th. His congressives are busy with arrangements for his entertainment. Bishop Spreads at Jackson Street church last Monday evening. Quite an audience was out to hear the very distinguished gentleman. Rev. L. H. Brown, pastor of the Chestnut Street Methodist church, is serving as the church's president. His term has expired, and he is expected to receive another very good appointment. There have been special programs all during the week. The Quain chapel church is preparing to have a large bazaar in the near future. Prof. G. P. Russell, who was elected to the presidency of the State Normal, has assumed charge of the school. The institution has a well-trained set of teachers, who are striving to make it one of the best schools in the country. The prosopae are good under the new management. --- The new Lincoln Institute, which was established a year ago for the colored children in this state who were not permitted to complete their education on account of their race, here at Lincoln has already opened up with large enrollment. The buildings and grounds will be dedicated on the 16th of this month. A large crowd will be on hand to witness the dedication exercises. President Eisenhower offered praise this the best school of its kind in the United States for colored children. It will be remembered that Eckstein Norton Institute consolidated with Lincoln. We paid a visit to Henderson last Sunday. This little Kentucky city, located on the banks of the Ohio river near Evansville, Ind., is a beautiful place. The colored people are ever on the alert along the school bus in the buildings are up to date and modern. There are three substantial church buildings, having large congregations. Nearly three-fourths of the colored men in the city are members of the international Grand Master of the Kentucky Masons lives there. There is a local Negro Business League, two colored grocery stores, a Carnegie colored branch library, colored physicians, one dentist, seventeen teachers are employed in the school, six fraternal organizations, one attorney, a number of barber shops, poolrooms and restaurants. There is also a Y. M. C. A. The local races have been transferred from Douglass park to the Churchill Downs, where, on the opening day, there will be a four-mile endurance race. The politicians are very slow in organizing their forum. It seems that interest is centered upon the school trustee race, since women will be allowed to vote in the coming election. The colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. is nearing completion. It is indeed a beautiful building and will equal any of its kind in the country. There will be private bathrooms, gymnasium, lecture room, auditorium, etc. The building will be dedicated in the near future. A number of prominent U. B. F. officers left Saturday to attend the funeral of the national grand master of the U. B. F. lodge, who was buried Sunday. The local U. B. F. hall is draped in mourning. Miss Alice Dorch, who has served for a number of years as secretary and teacher at Eckstein School Institute, will be in bookkeeping, shortand and typewriting. Her course will be taken at one of the business schools in Michigan. Mr. James Stringer, better known to his friends as Black Stringer, who for a long time was one of the owners of the Louisville Cubs baseball club, will leave he will be interested in baseball and other important matters. We are all waiting with patience to hear something definite about the proposed Clay Hotel Company. We understand that the company is to be reorganized. Mr. J. H. Lewis, who was associated with the company, was withdrawn, he we were to by Mr. Clay that he was suspended. Of course, as in all cases, there are two sides to the question. The Negro outlook committee is scheduled to have a very important meeting this week at their headquarters, 1008 W. Chestnut street, at 8 p.m., Friday, October 11. There will be a great football game Saturday, October 12, Alpha-omega or Central high school, at Reccus park. CUTHBERT, GA. Special to THE FREEMAN.

Every one present at this time remembered how and when he earnestly every person engaged by Magnolia McClain, who are making the opening of the only first-class theater in the West for colored people a success, and no member of the staff did more and was entitled to more credit for the work.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER language, she is an ingrowing city overrun by geeks that are as inoffensive as an ingrowing toe-nail. It was away back in the fifteenth century, a contractor, the sitting in his back and noticed a spider in his kitchen complaining. When the spider firmed, the contractor drew the results; came to Indiana and made some little streets by the plan, and the little streets grew up to be indented, told me that the girls were all right. He said the skirts they wore were in accord with their minds. Walked into the Freeman office, saw an important looking gentleman, who asked Freeman. I asked the typewriter lady if the Freeman had strong support. She said the Freeman was a weekly news reporter, and knocks to stay in this burg. If you are a knocker you are all right. If you are not a knocker, you'll have to be the anvil. You know that means you'll be knocked.

Mr. Owlesky, manager of the Crown Garden, is very busy these days canning chili and a bloody act of the vice was a peach. Bought a suit the other day and looks something like a letter carrier's suit.

Answer: If your brother was in Indianapolis singing "Circus Day," and you know the money, the biggest animal in the circus would be on him. If he had money, he'd have to spend some of it to see Baby Seals. Dear Hendon: I live in Indianapolis and I am tired of wearing light gloves. What can I find some undressed black knit?

They have a great future before them in the world, and the avidelle audience, as they have the requisite talent, tact and ambition to succeed. THE BROWN GIRLS. T. Spencer Finley, Washington's favorite comedian, came strong at Dudley's last week. His new monologue went across the style, and his "Ragging the Baby to Sleep" was a scream. Miss Susie Sutton, the versatile genius, is killing out her closing week at the Foraker, who has gone over to the Blue Mouse, which has been so popular by Messrs. Payne and Green, who will operate it in conjunction with their Twentieth street house. Miss Sutton has as her guest this week her mother, who came from New York City. They will make their winter headquarters in Richmond, Va. Miss Lucy Robinson is officiating at the box office at Dudley's, and Miss Desdemona box office, performing a similar service at the Howard. Both are immensely popular with the theater-going public by reason of their polite and obliquely manners. Mr. Rufus G. Byars, of the Howard, is one of the hardest working and most reliable assistant managers in the country. He knows everything about the business, and is on the job every minute. Plans are being drawn for an enlargement of Dudley's that will provide a stage adequate for road shows and the big acta tions, including capacity, making it over six hundred. Miss Ray Bailey has gone to Charlotte, N. C. Effie King and Lottie Gee return to the Fairland this month after a brief rits at their homes in Ohio. J. H. Hudnell has retired from the management of Ford Dabney's and the house has been turned into a poolroom. Mr. Hudnell is negotiating for a "peach a theater" for the east and may put the deal over at any time. Mine. Anita Patti Brown, the famous colorature soprano, comes to Howard University Thanksgiving. Her concert will be truly a society event. She will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, 908 S street, northwest. Manager Thomas has temporarily put on the shelf the proposition to operate the Howard through a stock corporation, and is going it alone, raking in a barrel of every night from the appreciative public. "The Play Bill" is a new publication given by Dudley, devoted to theatrical news. It circulates at Dudley's, the Blue Mouse and Fairland. A brilliant idea. * * * Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis is managing Covent Garden, an al fresco theater of high repute, at Kingston, Jamaica, and is making good. . . .

Fighters Born; Not Made—Still Mourning Reno—Johnson Yearned for the Trophy; It Was in Poor Hands—Jeffries Called From His Alafala Farm—The Pugilistic Cinnatus. (By Billy Lewis.) In these days, when there is/so little doing in big sporting circles, I find it necessary to do a bit of ruminating, just as the cows do because they go through rehashing, ad lib, and it is lucky that we have such periods of rest, since there must be more than merely eating. Digestion and assimilation follows, which means quiet and time. Of course, the lesser lights are here and there, and the more inactive. Johnson was struck a blow 'neath the belt when the grim reaper invaded his home. He went down for the count, knowing no way to block the punch that brought him a spite of all the men. His Australian will care to be some time before he will care to enter the ring, that ring which brought him so much, a portion of which he had to give up—human happiness, love, the conservating "forces" of the individual, rather than dollars and Sam Langford is still in the home of the kangaroos. What he is doing no one on this side seems to know. We know he has won all of his battles except one, which he lost to Sam McVea, the idol of Paris. But for some reason, the Boston Tar Baby has been quiet within the past few months, and he has won all of his battles, the grand among the good ones. Sam McVea, I suppose, is back in Paris, somewhat shattered in his "idoldom" since he "kissed the earth" to Langford, a thing unknown of him. He is the champion heavyweight. He fell in the Johnson eligible list, thus further reducing the fighting talk that is most interesting. Jeanette has permitted some scrubs to get into the cent encounters and thus he has lost in pugilistic respectability. These are piping times of peace. The god of fight, Mars, has abandoned the field, leaving the supervision to others until the various celestial come forth to once more give it dignity. . . . Someone, and to whom I am indebted for much of the following thought, said that "Great fighters, like great poets, are the best of young white heavyweights look promising. Somewhere in the country there may be a young farmer or a bricklayer possessing the spark of genius, in what seems to be a moment of honored way, rising as the stars through difficulties, as it were, and not breaking into the ring as a result of an impulse, or because he is so heavy that he strains to be beautiful, is it not? Yet how possistic—hopeless in tone! And really, I am inclined to have sympathy for the young man, but for the proud and best. We always put ourselves in their places, view $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send him a copy in confidence, so that my husband can see what he is suffering with repeated failures may stop hurting himself with harmful patient conditions. secure what I believe is the quickest and most effective emergency SPOT-TOUCHING ever devoured and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Robinson, $831 Luck Building, Detroit, MI. My husband sees you a copy of this splendid receipt in a ordinary envelope free of charge. A few many doctors would charge $3.00 to take for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. the situation from the angle then. We mourn for kings and their kind, the great king of the world, the great aster, albeit they go in silk andermine and we in rags. Some such feeling obsesses when we note the defeat of the unfortunate king, and some come more pride enforce the matter; consequently of the race that feel as I do are as the successful political candidate. He is the king of sympathy, feated opponent, but clings to his victory just the same. It is civilization; it is right. Genuinely sorry to see a good king, but no sense is the victory he publicized. The great are born to their callings in the sense that their dominant faculties presage the disposition and fixes the spiritus the disposition, unscrewed phrenology gives a hearing here, and possible theory of faculty abnormalism, making for genius on account of it. Well learned men are not willing to admit that they are not the best in their department wherein resides respectively a genius whose sphere of activity is less or great according to the size of the cavity. And according to the story when unduly ill, the genius is not the kind. Pretty enough, but like stock in gold mines which always looks good, there are but few takers. The well learned may be right when they insist that genius is the sphere of faculty, a normalism of faculty, and they may be wrong. It has come to pass that there are forces in the world that the regulars know nothing of, I myself, am a regular, and I know how to see at all times. I hail from Missouri. Well, whether by design or accident, or whether under the influence of the stars, some men are better fitted for calligraphy than others, and some same callings. But the fortunate circumstance of birth is not all of it. The struggle for perfection, generally self impelled, follows. Surely he must fight if he would. So the genius is the stormy petrel of making a call for him and without, and if he survives, one day he will find the clouds on his nether side, above him the golden burst of radiant day so far as concerns the establishment of among him the same calligraphy by the briar example of the kind. Reno was his opportunity. He did not neglect it. The writer whom I referred to in the beginning has this to say of Reno: the greatest winger fighters departed from the game when James J. Jeffries retired to his alfaffa farm after the catastrophe at Reno, to brood over things that might have been. That Reno affair was the supreme tragedy of pugilism, and there are thousands of sports who can't refer to it without inference. The best weight championship title, after the retirement of Jeffries from the ring some time previously, had been kicked around like the Missouri houston dawg. Jeffries decided to play the little of value, and Hart surrendered. Tommy Burns, a fighter whom nature intended for a grocer. The decadent days is the burden of the lay of this writer. He's no mutt one will see by his clear, trenchant style. Of course he is a white man. He is stocalled a man of sacrifice that needs be, but not out of note of regret. Looking at it from his viewpoint Reno was the supreme tragedy of pugilism. I have already expressed my regrets, but cannot think of relinquishment. I am not more than the victory of Jack Johnson, a Negro, over a white man, just as the defeat of Jeffries, a white man, stands for more than mere defeat by a black man. It is not necessary to thresh out the whereabouts of the universal by Negroes, the wailing and grashing of teeth, generally by white men need no interpreter. Like Marcus Antonious, our business is to bury those features that narrow the feeling rather than the feeling that Bardar was none too good to put in a good order for his friend Caesar just the same. Maybe human nature is still the same. . . . The Australian sport experts also lament the evil pugilistic times for white men. They have concluded that white men are not able to Negroes the fighting business. They hold that the Negroes approach the brute, and surely if the Darwinian theory was greatly in vogue, the world would take at once to it. The Australians seem to be on the right. And here again is another law which must be followed. It is this, that nature has cared for the Negroes physically since she failed to care for them mentally. Negroes are not to be compared with in strength, except those who have worked in the industrial circumstances. I have said before that white boys of similar build and weight do not think of attacking colored boys. The very nature of the white boys up their spiritual white flag of surrender before a "gun is fired." And in the dispensation of justice this is right. The god of justice is not to be despised. We have seen that if he gave every good gift in one direction. Burns has been butting about seeking to regain the lost footing. He feels as if he has been left alone by the whole business upon him. Johnson pursued him with a persistence unparalleled. Burns fought like a demon as subdued as a cat. He fries and Flynn matches, and also by the pligmy like status of the whole push of white tighters. Burns, in the light of his success, is the real master, not know what he was doing. It is no wonder that he thinks of coming back. I am loathe to bring in Bible parallels when writing of sporting affairs. Yet when I think of the effort to drug Jeffries from retirement cannot out think of the book "Seven Seeds," none of the earth were scoured, none were found worthy, and so forth, to open it. It was much the same when the trophy of world distinction perched upon Nigro brow. I must have been supper, by the other people, with the other people. But they are like a friend of mine who lost a child. In my effort at consolation I asked him a question that must be seen been supper, by the other people he expressed himself. I said "How many children did you have?" He replied, "Six," "Six" said I, in that interrogative elaculatory way that we have of speaking at times. Yes, he said he had never said. I could offer no explanation, since he plainly thought that I considered his family large. He was in poor circumstances. He was in poor circumstances, already large stock of sensitivity. The white people had all of the distinction. They might have yielded one gracefully, but they did not; they wanted every one of them. The pugilistic Cinchinatus was to no purpose. But I will let this newly found literary friend tell it in his own language. He smarts under the defeat, but it only has zest to his stuff. Here is what he says. "The title, which had been a mere baule for some time, was greatly coveted by John Arthur Johnson, the day he was born. He graduated in the yearned for it with a great yearning. He pursued Tommy diligently, until that gentleman reluctantly consented to meet the black. They met and Burns was pleased to see him, and Burns was unable that title became when once it was in the possession of Johnson. It suddenly became a priceless thing, embodying the honor of the race. It was the day he was born. It was restored at once Freedom THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER FLEMISH FLEMISH Hopes!—"They keep pertering around." would cease to unfold her standard to the air on her mountain height. There arose a clamorous call for James to the ancient Romans got in a hole they went after Cincinnatus, and he left his plow handles and straightened things out for them, and he went to the city where their stress and travel, called upon Jeffries. This great and good man, who had hoped to spend his declining years under his vine and fig tree, contemplating the objection of the city like Hard Herminus or Spurulous Lartius when Horatius asked for volunteers to keep the bridge from him. Forsaking James, he went to a snow Dioctelian, Jeffries went into training. "Looking back, now that time has subdued our grief and healed the worst of our wounds, the training of Jeffries seems the most humorous thing in the annals of the world. He painters and epic writers, representing syndicates and magazines, and they called him names he couldn't understand. They referred to him as an abysmal man, a boastful paphyroid and a dialywhatouyam call it, and other pet names of the kind. Jeffries never was happy in repartee, and this sort of thing got on his nerves and interfered with his work. In the world were there, and the click, click of the cameras irritated him beyond measure." Much of the foregoing is ancient history, but Reno is a classic and as such is fit for song and story for the years to come. BATTLING ZAMBARA IN NEW YORK Willing to Meet Any One in His Class —Wants to Be Champion. Battling Zambarra, the colored featherweight from Germany, is now in New York. He is anxious to meet the talent of his weight, 118 to 123 pounds. He has been in India, where he is one of Billy McClain's exhibitions. He was in Cleveland, Ohio, before going to New York, where he met Kid Hogan in a six-round battle. The fight was a draw. Zambarra has been in America but a few years. He has had fine athletics, and he will come a wrestler. His small size was against him, so he turned his attention to prize fighting. He is ambitious to become the world's champion. He would like to come West about Christmas. His goal is to meet Zambarra, care for Misses Masters School, Dobbs Ferry, New York. SPRINGFIELD. ILL. The Beck Knolls Gun Club Holds Regular Meeting.
