NUMBER 42 CLOSING DAYS SHOWS DECIDED GAINS FOR THE PRESIDENT The Colored Brother is Not Deceived by Shallow Pretense or Theatrical By-Laws—Taf'f's Triumphant Re-Election Freely Predicted by Knowing Ones. By. R. W. Thompson. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 23.—The political situation begins to show signs of simplification, as the "ides of November" approach,oses the issues of the war, and that it becoming more and more easy to distinguish the sheep from the goats. The fellows who have been side stepping and hiding in the tilt of the great presidential waltz, and the roll of "who's who" is being made up with a reasonable degree of certainty. Organizationism, in fact, is most exacting, given that the campaign seemed to lack early in the game is now being supplied in abundance. From now on the battle will be rushed at top speed. Organizationism is the most exacting critic. The stump is resounding with the oratory of the spellbinder, and from every hilito and in every valley the voter seeking the plaint if he will but read as he runs. Headquarters have been established everywhere, and the masters of strategy are outgoing the program for the last stand of the several parties. The genus "press agent" is as busy as a hive of bees. And everybody, the dear ladies included, is on the run with his clings up for Taft, Roosevelt or Wilson. Taft on the Upward Trend. The black man, in common with his white brother, is anxious that he continue to find steady employment, through the hard work of the market. He situates himself not differed from others that must depend upon his daily wage to keep his family in comfort. He may listen to sophistry, but will, in the final analysis, accept only that which gives assurance of solid results. Naturally a Republican, he cannot grant the bank, Grant and Douglass, because he believes the founders of the party were right, and he believes that the leaders of today are nearer right than those who control the policies of any of the other founding members of the surrogates of the people. So a prominent visitor from the West a few days ago: Taft Sound on the Race Question. PUBLIC LIBRARY for what he has done for the Negro. The men on the stump should not fail to place position in the emphases upon his great services in the face of racism. That is, that our people give him a vote of confidence, in recognition of things accomplished by our people, and that on in the good cause. As a Negro and as an American, as an element that needs prosperity more than any other class, it behooves us to show our united strength for William Howard Taft on the fifth day of November. This is the sentiment that comes to the capital from every state in which the Negro vote is cast, and those are not deceived by bluster, braid and unseemly noise are confident that the colored citizens will do their full part in the trumpet re-election of President Thomas Jefferson, which now seems practically a certainty. M. Grant Lucas Electrifies Mu-So-Lit Club. Prof. M. Grant Lucas, principal of the Bruce school, electrified the largely attended meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club on last Friday evening at the Conservatory of Music, and time spent at the Interest," and in the course of his ably-prepared address he pointed out the duty of the Negro, as well as other citizens, to devote himself to the study of civic matters in an attempt to solve them. At no time in the history of the country has the importance of a proper conception of the Negro's relation to the civic welfare been more strikingly exemplified in the parties and of economic policies, argued Prof. Lucas. The Mu-So-Lit Club is not a political organization, its name standing for musical, social and literary diversion, but a current education on a vital proposition, took advantage of the occasion to discuss philosophic vein the political situation, and predicted that the man's loyalty to his brother in the South would be manifested at the polls by his vote for Taft. He said in part: "The 22,000 colored people employed by the government and the $12,500,000 positive triumph to the Republican party's policy of race recognition. While we admit that many things we desired have not been done, yet the sum total of what has been done goes far beyond what would have been expected fifty years ago." Reviewing the record of the Republican party from its formation to the present day, Prof. Lucas showed it to be the party or, constructive ideas, of concrete political ideas, which the country had really prospered. It placed the war amendment into the constitution and made the Negro an American citizen and been appointed at the step by the democracy, and now is hindered in its broad national plan of equal participation in the functions of government for all classes by the expressional canvassing of the White House full Moose fashion. The primary effect of this candidacy, thought Prof. Lucas, would be to endanger the success of the regular Republican ticket. He was of the candid opinion that the party should have a loud pretensions and empty promises. Among other things, Prof. Lucas described the cordial reception at the White House on the day President Taft was sworn in, which colored men were received on equal terms with the most influential white men of the country, enjoying the luncheon provided by the host under the most conspicuous White House under Taft has been pure and wholesome, and there has never been the slightest suggestion of the color line. Prof. Lucas' address was frequently punctuated by applause, indicating the sentiment to be decided Taftward. A lively discussion was precipitated, in which all shades of political beliefs had been brought to light. Lebt T. H. R. Clarke, Prof. Kelly Miller, L. M. Hershaw, Judge E. M. Hewson, R. M. Hewson, Judge E. Davidson, J. E Churchman, N. H. Thomas and others, R. A. Pelham presided. JACKSONVILLE. ILL. KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL Rev.

CHAMPION PUGILIST ROUNDLY CON- DEMNED BY HIS OWN BACF Negro Democrats Gave Smoker Last Sunday Afternoon—Wm. Childs Promoted to Lieutenant—T. Alfred Anderson Returns to the City. (Freeman Bureau, 3000 State Street. Telephone Aldine 2058, Automatic 72-384.) Never before in the history of Chicago have one man had as much newspaper matter mattered as Jack Johnson. A white woman in the case is the cause of it all. The daily newspapers have worked up an awful case on the campus and here are some of the developments: Prominent Negroes, after a conference with Beauregard F. Moseley, will call a coach at the tort Club, at 3341 Wabash avenue, for the purpose of taking action against Johnson. His Australian fight is off, meaning the champion is Mack Meherson.

The Federal grand jury on Tuesday of this week if evidence unearned by secret service operatives concerning all alleged violations of the law act is considered sufficient License May Be Revoked. His/saloon licenses will be revoked if the city prosecutor proves the pending charges that he persistently violated the o'clock closing regulations. Mayor Harlan is said to be responsible for this statement. He failed to obtain Miss Cameron's release on wits of habeas corpus because of the refusal of any Federal judge to enforce the o'clock when the girl must be produced as a witness before the Federal grand jury. Attorney B. F. Moseley has sent out a letter urging Jack Johnson to appear at court where conference will be held to indict him just before Cameron said with reference to white women. Letter Sent Johnson. Mr. Moseley conferred with several lawyers, doctors and Negroes who have failed to graduate from the school of the world's championship belt, and as a result of their discussion this letter was dispatched to the pugilist: Arthur Johnson, Chicago Jil. Dear Sir: Letters Sent Out Others interested in the meeting received this letter: Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: My attention has been recently called to the press company supposedly made by John Arthur Johnson, the world's pugilistic champion. These declarations, if made, at once make Jack Johnson's presence in Chicago to the humanity in general, or the Negro in particular, and if true, the Negroes themselves who are more particularly affected than any other element of citizens of our city, should retract or seek a residence where declarations of such aure will be acceptable and tolerated. If not true, every many citizen, the Negro in particular, should seek to assist Mr. Johnson in setting himself right before the people. For this purpose will you meet a conference of the representative club Churubus, 3441 Wabash avenue, Wednesday evening, at 8 p. m., October 23, 1912, and oblige.

READ 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 to mar my this letter as reference, for of the wonderful change i through the power and influ Dear Sirs: Several weeks ago I fool 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 Leadstones on the dresser and forgot them. Trouble began as of old; my husband was fretful 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 Leadstones 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.

Perkins enjoys the reputation of being the best politicians' angel that ever happened. Governor Woodrow Wilson says that the people look for dignity in high office and that they are chagrined and disappointed when they do not find it. Who's hit Summer is sliding into winter. O, most beautifully, imperceptibly; getting there just the same, just like an individual sliding into love—so slow, but so sure. The attempt on Mr. Roosevelt's life is a warning no less to Mr. Roosevelt than to the rest of us. He will not be able to get around his contribution to the unpleasantness of the campaign. Let Mr. Jack Johnson kindly cut the female white people out of his operations and he will have plain sailing. He should remember that he is prominent, and like many other prominent people, cannot do what other men do who are of less prominence. Mary Hagood, daughter of Rev. Dr. Hagood, has just finished a course in the nurses' class of 1912 of the Provident hospital and Training school, at Chicago. Exercises were held October 25. Miss Hagood is well known in Indianapolis, where her father was pastor of one of the prominent M. E. churches. The Progressive party platform declares for amore easy and expeditious method of amending the Federal Constitution. We object. The fathers knew exactly what they were doing when they locked up that instrument so securely. The first thing we Negroes would know, in event of the success of that party, we would have the "more easy" tried on us. Turkey will have something to do to maintain herself against the allied armies of the Balkan states. Thousands of Greeks, Bulgarians, Servians and others of Southern Europe, who have been in this country, are returning to engage the ancient enemy, the terrible Turk. Imbued with new world notions and zest the offerings from this side will play a very large part in the war. The sick man of Europe is threatened with dissolution unless he comes through, according to the program of the fighting concert. Right along here, in the height of racial agitation, the colored voters will do well to look out for their citizenship. The new party has proven a party of opportunity. It promises to trail in the flood of public opinion rather than helping at forming sentiment. This is especially true as it concerns the Negro. The Republican party stands for the Negroes North, South, East and West. The Bull Moose party will not touch the Southern Negroes because they are politically unpopular. What is, is. We will not be able to break away from that proposition. Racial strife of a kind is on the increase. The Negroes are coming up in the scale of life in some ways that are very commendable, and in other ways that are against them as a race. The better ways are fairly offset by a laterday forwardness, and which, if not inherently racial, is becoming rapidly so by adoption. This, added to the natural prejudice, the first prejudice, is fixing certain walls between the races which promise to stay for a good long time. The Fifteenth Amendment ought to be wiped out. We all agree on that; then why don't we do it?—Ex-Governor James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, now United States senator-elect. One reason is because it is a very difficult thing to do. Perhaps if the Constitution was easily changed there would be a fighting chance to do it. Those long-headed constitution fathers knew what they were doing when they locked that instrument so securely up. It took a civil war to add the letter amendment, and it is said that things going in are easier than coming out. Perhaps the average citizen still has doubts as to Mr. Roosevelt's honesty in his statements about the financial assistance of his campaign. He puts up a general defense of no knowledge of the contributions. This last refuge is not so successfully assailed as to be plain to all men, and consequently to many his veracity, along that line, remains unimpaired. But when he insists that he is in the campaign, owing to a popular unrising in his behalf, without his assistance, every man who is willing to see can see that the ex-President is evasive and deceptive in his utterances. His persistent stand- ing in the spotlight in the sense of a receptive candidate is all too apparent for mistaking. This demonstration, which is plain, should afford some sort of a key for those who have doubts about Mr. Roosevelt's sincerity in whatever he has to say. If the Negroes don't watch out, they will get filmfammed in this political mixup. They will notice that they are not hunted down with the usual fervor of past years. A race question is involved, and politics has proven a poor place to care for it. Nevertheless, that party which is best disposed to the Negro is the Negroes' party, whether he accepts it or not. Make terms with your neighbor, is an all right doctrine, but when your neighbor refuses to treat it does not say very much for the possible good. The Republican party has been willing at all times to recognize the Negro as a citizen without restraint. Some colored folks got together at Washington, D. C., and voted to repudiate Johnson as a member of the race. That's going a bit too far. Johnson's wrong that is so generally condemned is that he did a thing that is against sentiment—not a crime. Crime may be involved, as officers are now trying to prove. But that is a secondary matter to the cause of the outburst. The Washington colored people who have been resolving are not the whole show. All of us hope that Johnson will avoid doing things that stir up race feeling. We are not in for voting him dead or anything of the kind. Just let him behave himself along the line mentioned—it's a plenty. And after all it turns out that Smith, the Negro charged with shooting two white men in the vicinity of the State Fair Grounds, really did do the shooting. The story of the white women seemed at the time far-fetched—sounded unusual—trifling—silly. It was scoffed at. Here is suitable place for a moral—You can't always tell. We took the intermediate ground that it was the officers' place to look up such matters, feeling in time the truth would out. The truth is out. According to the Negro's confession he killed at least one of the men, and most likely he killed both of them. The stories leading up to the killing of the men, as told by the women and by Smith, are widely apart. However, the murderer has been apprehended, that is the main thing. The whole truth in time will be wormed out. Perhaps there was some provocation, but we do not think there was enough to justify murder. JACK JOHNSON IN BAD Jack Johnson has been enjoying the reputation of having an abundance of good sense, notwithstanding he has shown weakness for white women, His past relations were somewhat looked over. Most people thought of his marriage to a white woman as a mere chance affair and not a thing studied out by the champion in the sense of a demand, owing to his superior position, and apparently meaning the inferiority* of his own race women. The experiences of his wife should have cured him of all desire to take on another one, who, in the nature of things, would have to undergo the same experiences. The woman needs protection against the fate that awaits her should she step foot across the racial line. This sounds like fiction, but it is nevertheless a painful truth. If Lucile Cameron becomes Lucile Johnson, that moment she is as good as mourned as dead by her own kind, and she will be without cordial reception elsewhere. She will be tolerated, only: not more. We have been kindly disposed to Mr. Johnson, criticising him some, but praising him more. We can not side with him in this matter in view of what we know. It is a human question as well as a race question. The young woman, perhaps, thinks herself strong; thinks the strong support of affection and regard can buoy her up all her days. She is mistaken. When she finds that she must run a gauntlet of turned-up noses daily with only an occasional look of sympathy, she will find herself finally crushed between the milled edges of racial societies. Granted that Johnson has done no wrong before the law in this matter, yet there's that harder thing of custom to overcome. It's useless to recite the long story of why this is true. We should only be interested in knowing that the persisten pursuing of his course will cause a wide-spread feeling of opposition to Negroes. He has no moral right to anything that promises so much mischief. He's free, and all that, as he says, but there are "invisible" laws to which he must subscribe—the agreements of society—if he would enjoy a large measure of that freedom of which he boasts. A VOICE FROM THE WEST. A voice comes to us from the West like that from the wilderness of years ago, crying make ready for Him and so forth. And it is a fact that Mr. Roosevelt has a strangely strong hold on many who think of him as a man of destiny, fated to stand in splendid isolation, apart from other men in a manner, above all other men and yet be their law and guide. We have said before this, that he would make a fine Caesar, since he seems to have some qualities in kind. But in spite of Caesar's reputed good qualities, the sleutiful Cassius thought he was ambitious. The friends and supporters of Roosevelt are within their reasonable rights when they put proper estimate on his past value to the country. They may exaggerate and yet do nothing amiss. There is no reason to seek to lessen his present value when of value. The trouble is, that Mr. Roosevelt has so stamped his personality that what he says or does is given too free currency, while that of his opponents is received with more or less doubt. Individuals of undoubted integrity have testified to certain transactions, many individuals, yet Mr. Roosevelt's little disclaimer knocked it all in the head as his admirers view it. This peculiar situation is the result of Mr. Roosevelt's personality, a thing we often said at the outset of the campaign. It is aided by the fact that he is exceedingly well advertised. THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER having been President. As to this thing of personality, William J. Tucker, LL. D., former president of Dartmouth College, said, not long since: "One never thinks of Mr. Roosevelt first, if at all, in any representative capacity. He must, therefore, be judged politically by the use which he makes of his personality, by the manner of its use if not the motive, by the personal ends which he seeks to accomplish, and by the personal methods through which he strives to reach these ends. When the leaders of the Progressives in many of the states turned over the movement to Mr. Roosevelt, or allowed him to come in and dominate it (it is not yet quite clear which was the actual fact), the whole issue was changed from Progressiveism to Rooseveltism. The present party alignment, outside the reform parties, is simply according to Democracy, Republicanism and Rooseveltism. "I make a distinction between Mr. Roosevelt and Rooseveltism. For Mr. Roosevelt at his best I have had very much admiration and respect. I had regarded him as one of our most valuable national assets, a man to be counted upon for constant and varied service to the country. A third term had not seemed to me to have an impossible or an improper place in his future career. But for Mr. Roosevelt, committed to, or merged into Rooseveltism—that compound of personal egoism, political management, popular idolatry and semi-religious enthusiasm—I have more distrust than respect." Now, to the voice from the West—the dear colored brother, the voice of whom we speak says that we should have respected the white flag that fluttered adown the field when John Schrank injected violence in a campaign of discussion. He thinks it was not sufficient that we merely deplore the deed, but that we should have silenced our guns as the other "captains" did. The writer should remember that Roosevelt did not desist a moment. He was game all right, fighting "when on his knees," so to speak. His wound was so much capital and was displayed as such. But at that, had the colonel been mortally wounded we would have uttered no word inconsistent with the situation. The voice from the West quotes the Freeman of last issue, as follows: "Violence is only suggested when unusual methods are employed." Is that a fact? Is it scurrilous? Is it not a fact worth relating any old time? Never that unusual methods should be met with violence, but that they do suggest them as it has been proven. If Mr. Roosevelt had passed away, some new Marcus Antonius could have said with profit to the nation, over his bier, that the campaign was marked by unusual methods, nor can we exculpate our dead chieftain of a contributed share. The lesson is no less to his friends and admirers than to his verlest opponents. This, we think, would be a preachment of peace rather than malignant pursuit. The voice from the West again quotes: "He plays for the presidency, the seat of George Washington as a king playing for a throne." Says he: "You make a mighty contrast, well calculated to influence the mind that has a socialistic trend." We would think the influence would be in the opposite direction, in the interest of our Republican form of government, alarming against, and arming against any possible breaches in the armament. Admittedly, the words are forceful, but none the less truthful. Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy is a sad spectacle in American affairs. So unusual is it that any form of spoken or written truth is justified. The campaign is one of personality, signifying that should Mr. Roosevelt drop out the Progressive party would also drop out. The discussion thus swings back to the original of unusual methods employed which is so flagrant and so baneful that the new Marc Antony, had there been occasion, would had to have spoken of it, and from which he could not have exculpated his chieftain.

In "Dr. Beans" at the Park Theater. When the bills announcing that Dudley's set would appear in Indianapolis went up week or so ago, many of his admirers threw up a card in up in something new this season. Notwithstanding the doubt about the show, the theater-going folk went just the same. The show was a day nights and afternoons was comfortably filled. In fact, the attendance increased after the first night, a very complimentary thing to Mr. Dudley and the Show Unusually Good. The general idea remains quite the same as it has been in shows of the kind for the past ten years. "Dr. Beans" has greatly improved over the others in the industry and has been the effort of the past the show is bright and sparkling from start to finish. One is reminded of a ship stripped for action. All the superheroes are removed; things look clear and fitting. The situations are, of course, more or less farcial. The plot is more developed than usual and very much in the interest of the comedy, which is based on more than a few things. The situations on before and things that are forecasted for the future are the basis of very much of the humor. This knowledge heightened the humor in the Dudley pre- S. H. Dudley. Comedian. Dudley is much better than he has been since appearing in this city. He knows the rules of the court and which rulers in all of the old sheriffs is gone. He is more in harmony with his part, seeming to enjoy doing it rather than doing it because he has it to do. He is a man of character, on or off ad lib. It is delightful and clean; enjoyed by little children, whose voices were heard in the clear above all of the others. Dudley is in a class by James H. Burris. Straight. James H. Burris, the straight man, has broken away from that rigid school of acting; the change is readily noted. He has that abandon, that freedom of movement, that ability to work with him at once. The George Walker style was what you might call brilliant; it was admired, while that of Burris is thorough; that joy of playing the strings is highly suitable to Dudley's beauty. Lottie Grady's work fits in with that of the others very nicely. Her singing voice is good; not very strong. She knows how to use it with good effect. The songs she sings are among the features of the show. Her dance movements are pretty and in keeping. She does a very pleasing part. Dudley and Burris in growth. His Mr. Waterbury Lee is a very fine characterization. He looked a splendid old Negro of high life. Henry Troy, the bell-toned singer, holds his own. His talking part is in the interest of the general success. Among others who deserve special mention are Roley Gibson, William Ramsey, Alberta Ormes, whose work was more or less successful. Others of the company ahe A. Potter Beans, Bessie K. Payne, Robert Williams, Hattie Burris, Jessie Harris, Nogatha Joplin, Ethel Hutton, Leo La La Hill, Tittle Cottage, Eleanor Hutton, Tittle Cottage, Carrington, Pauline Hackney, Virgie Richards, Inez Hamilton, Agnes Brown, Elsie Hackney, Robert Williams, Harry Watson, Billy Moore, Matt Johnson, Geo Perkins, William Woodson and J. Harris. The show as a whole was particularly good. The singing was sprightly, harmonely good. The girls were modest, neat, becoming. The girls look charming; the men, handsome. It was a great success from every point of AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHILADELPHIA, PA. At the Auditorium theater, Philadelphia, Pa., last week novel entered largely into the program. As an instance, there was a new monogram on the Monogram Trio; Mason and Howard, singing and comedy; the Cuban Trio, in plantation minstrelsy, depicting the old-time antics of na refreshing style; the French Trio, in bestest "The Death of Love Joe" (the skirt is full of pungent humor, and Mr. Too Sweet is particularly droll in his delineation of his part); the Ash and Ethel Caldwell comedy and dancing. They are very clever artists. The house, as usual, was packed at all performances. (By George Slaughter.) This week, October 21 to 27, the bill opened with Minstrel Morris, that blackface, juggling comedian. He is very funny and keeps the audience going from The two Edwards, Old Bill and Mrs. B.

She is the sweetest little marvel that the putrons of Louisville have seen for some time at the Olio. Frank is a favorite here of courses and good results. This bill is good from start to finish. Next week Baby Seais and Fisher, who always go good here, will be with us. Seais is a big drawing card, and Baby Fisher is a nifty, little trick, who has 'em in a big way.

LOUISVILLE, KY.-At the Buckingham theater next week, commencing with the matinee Sunday, "The New Century" will be composed to musical extravagance in the chaise of a scintillating comedy entitled "A Busy Day at Union Station," and a laugable burlesque called "The Lord's Reception." The comedy will be a musical entertainment. Between them is introduced a vaudeville division that is said to be highly entertaining. The cas is an unusually competent one, and the lesue performers, among them being Ted REKLAW'S SUPERIOR TOOTH CLEANER. The finest in the world of its kind. I found nothing to equal it—C. W. Scott, 2321 Armour avenue, Chicago, III. My teeth were so black that they had been so dark that they are perfectly white now—Mrs. Joseph More, 1686 East Eighty-first street, Cleveland, O.

As a rule when the dentist cleans the teeth he scrapes them and that takes the gloss off the ename but this does not remove the uninjured.

KELLY'S NO. 2 MINSTREL NOW BEING ORGANIZED. Thomas P. Kelley is about to organize a No. 2 colored minstrel show and wants to hear from ladies and gentlemen in all branches from the minstrel and plantation business. Mr. Kelley is going to have a feature band and parade, and will open at his own opera house, Mr. Pleasant, Mich. His wife, Mrs. Pleasant, Mich. is his one of the few shows that has never broken a promise, missed a salary day, lost a date or owed a dollar, and that is surely a record to be proud of. It says to advertise in The Freeman. New Crown Garden TIM E. OWSLEY, Mgr. Offers a bill that is entertaining from start to finish. Most of the acts are new to the Crown patrons. Yet each act is an 'interesting feature'. The Crown patrons are kept in a palatable mood during the show as the bill is extraordinarily interesting and enjoyable. Julian Costello. A female impersonator, has been seen here before, but his offering this time is more interesting. His songs are all new and his costumes are the best yet seen worn by an act of this nature. His dance is artistic and shows that he is a student of grace- Martin and Motely. Pleases the Crown patrons in a great way. Their offering is a delightful little comedy skit, in which both Mr. Martin and Miss Mortley are seen to a good advantage. Miss Mortley's costumes are in-deed stunning, which adds to her diminutive personality. Mr. Martin hands out some real natural comedy, just like a hotel porter acts when on the job. The audience enjoyed Martin and Mortley to Jeff De Mont. That big hit. Mr. De Mont is a music man as well as a clever singing and talkative him. Such funny comedians as Mr. De Mont are few and far between. He keeps his audience warm. The brown patrons seemed never to tire of Mr. De Mont's efforts to please them. He was forced to take several encounters. He had to see that One Funny off Mr. De Mont's gesture. Princess Sotanki. Offered the Crown patrons something new and novel. After one witnesses the act of Princess Sotanki he is thoroughly convinced that the colored actor or actress was the way of entertaining as his white brother or sister actor or actress. The Princess' feat of levation, suspending the body of a young lady in mid-air, without the aid of mechanical wristband. Her closing number was a feature within itself, known as the "Dance of Death," which she executes with a real live snake twenty feet long and a pair of inches in diameter. Princess Sotanki's act is exciting, entertaining and pleasing. Brown and Delk. Not the Brown and Delk of old; this time it is a new Brown with the same pleasing Delk. This act, beyond any reasonable doubt, is the best dancer in the world. Delk is Brown in a class by himself. The audience no doubt thought that they had witnessed some real dancers doing this season, but after seeing the performance, who will say that they never saw a real dancer until they saw Mr. Brown. Each of his imitations won an encore. Miss Delk is also a very clever dancer, and that does not mean that they never beat. They closed their act with an exciting dance finish which sent the Crown patrons home feeling good. The Brown orchestra, under the direction of Prof. W. A. Kelly, offered another sensation in the music this week. The "Wizard," who is none other than Mr. Wesley, is breaking the record in offering nothing but a hit, one after another. K. C. E. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW Scenes from "The Isle of Spice" at the Grand—Lulu Coates and Company Scored on the Last Half. One of the very best shows of the season opened Monday night at the Grand, Watson, Homer and Du Bard, late stars of the "Isle of Spice," were seated in the grand hall. The comedian was great, the prima donna was a real artist, the straight man and a chorus were good, Harry Gilbert was a nice art teacher, the shadographic artist. Haines and Randall in "Fifty Miles From Nowhere" were real in comedy; but the Bel Canto Trio, who are good singers, had a female burlesque actor in pants who went beyond the traditional role. What act was not so well regulated, Miss Coats and the two boys made a hit in their specialties. Miss Coats who is not quite up to the artistic experience of the two boys, Mitchell, could nevertheless get the best time in vaudeville with the two boys backed up. Others on the bill were Arnant Brothers, acrobats, who in violin comics and bird whistling Jackson and Van Horn and Walter Reynolds in the "Mysterious Visitor" all fared well. Dave Payton, Jr.'s orchestra now consists of eight Nelson Kincale, Mr. Brown and Mr. Brown. For this show Manager Duke Brennan must be complimented. Shelton Brooks, Lizzie Wallace and Billy Gulfport at the Monogram Every act had a comedian and every comedian was a star at the Monogram last Monday evening. Shelton Brooks came on with a cane, in blackwood charm, and a hat, in white. His crest he will no doubt be dancing soon, but rheumatism acts with the weather. He didn't have to work, notohow. All his comedians had his crest, his crest which took a drop. His amalgamated joke on Jack Johnson set the house wild, and his song, "Oh Me," repeated likewise. Gulport and Wallace gave a good, real diamonds and pearls on her forefingers, but her white satin gown embroidered with lace looked a little too good for the Monogram stage, where she gets the big diamond and pearls one is of a kind pitched in a high, humorous key, is something new in a style of comedy that was extr agood. The Russells with some new jokes and songs and with cleverly constructed and well-constructed women were, a usual near tiring winners. Stone and Stone, a new Southern team, gave good satisfaction. All their dialogue was clean and cleverly constructed and well-constructed, and the audience was pleased by the theater. Robert Scott, has improved in his clarinet work, and George Reeves, the pink tea trap drummer of State street, added artistic variety to his life devoted to the music. The pile who filled this particular house, "In Old Tennessee" was a big story play that attracted and proved that the management figured right. J. S. Ferguson, who became popular with the patrons, who have noticed his good will and cordiality. Three Story Pictures at the Phoenix. "The Confederate Ironclad" was the star story on the program seen here last Monday night, and the new augmented orchestra added to its completeness. Manager Hammond has deserved that description. Other pictures were "Locked Out of Wedlock" and "The Light That Failed." Colored Vaudeville at the Pekin. The Pekin theater opened with an all-colored vaudillee, October 20, to a full house. It is understood that Mr. Theodore, the new manager of the house, will run his show on the same plan as the Monogram theater. George Monogram is booker the people, and actors can see or address him at the theater. The Marquett Club Ball and Prize Waltz to Be at the Annext October 30. William Bowman, of the Marquette Club, is chief promoter of a grand ball at the Coliseum Annex, Wabush and Fifteenth streets, Wednesday evening, October 30. The music which will be by the Eligible Regiment committee of arrangements is composed of E. Bristol, president; William Bowman, Jack Johnson, Innes Boyd, H. W. Wheeler, Jonas Son, Raleigh Shields and others. In view of a little personal opposition which has arisen, the club makes this statement: "We wish to inform the public that H. W. Wheeler has been concerned about the ball, but it is certainly not worth the people's consideration, as his dealings with the recent carnival have proved, and that he is not affiliated with the club."

ALABAMA MINSTRELS GIVE EXCELLENT SHOW Come in Two Private Cars and Per form Under Canvas Near City Hall. The Alabama Minstrels, under canvas pitched on Market street, near the city hall, gave their initial performance the first show of their arrival here in two private cars and giving a first-class concert and parade promised a fair entertainment, San Jose's first concert, meeting the high-class performance given. The company is a large one and a full orchestra of good musicians did much to enliven the performance. There were many jokes and songs in it, full of ragtag songs, sung in it, full, rich tones common to those who trace their ancestry to the sunny shores of Africa. There were many jokes and songs that came from the end men. Every man was an actor, and every actor was a clever entertainer. And the excellence of the several special feature performances would give them rank among the vaudeville performers. There was a tight wire walker and a man with a large nose, waving come from the end men. There was a fire eater who played with fire, apparently without getting burned. The dances included all the steps learned down in the Alabama plan, and they have their origin in San Francisco. The company includes a number of women and their parts went a long way toward making the performance a high-class one. Their voices were rich and mellow and their dancing graceful. The entitled performance set is welcome revival in the field of popular entertainment.—Morning Times, Sea Joe Cal. I. Sidney Perrin, have had several offers to put on stock by several managers of the southern circuit and to produce my own albums. I have also back owing to the fact that the Russell and Owens Stock Company has put on all of my musical concerts. Other as-seller musicians have the prizes have worked under my directions. My plays are as follows: "Show. 'Folks,' Gay Ethiopia, 'Southland,' Emperor of the kingdom," and a third of the musical numbers which be- long to these shows, as follows: "We are Show Folks, You See," "Gay Southland," Merriely Our Voices are Ringing in Sweet Tongues, "I Am the Boss of this Big Show," "The Tallyho Song," "Fork of the Road," "When They Play that Dreamy Rag," "Can I be Seat I," and many more. I can't see him, and another man's brains and call it his own idea. Every act comes from the South has told me of the piracy. Billy Wagner can't see me, and who have come to my house and rented my stuff like men and paid me for it. I am tired of being the "fall guy." I am having all my stuff copyrighted and the others prosecuted, so I advise all managers who book stock companies to check those pirates, and they will do me a personal favor. The fake producers are invading my property, and some of them have gone so far as to change the titles of my plays. I hear that String Beans is using some of my suit without permission. Hereafter I propose to seal it, and that is using my brains without permission. One dollar will reach any sheriff in the United States to protect the copyright law within the jurisdiction, so beware, pirates, and give me a show at my own brains. SIDNEY L.

John Rucker and his musical comedy company, numbering twenty-five people, opened up at the Temple theater, New Orleans, October 6, to a large and appealing audience. The play, *Happy Sam From Bam*, a comedy comedy from the pen of the prolific Irvin C. Miller, proved a splendid vehicle in which Mr. John Rucker showed forth that he is a natural-born comedian and is well-handled the principal comedy role, as well as Long before the hour of admission the lobby of the theater was most uncomfortable because of the extraordinarily large crowd clamoring for admission. Naturally it brought the smiles in proportion to the audience, whose final word was, "It's the grandest opening I have seen since being here." And he declared for an indefinite run to last well into the summer months. The company is a very able one, because he is a very good man, Mr. Rucker. For instance, Irvin C. Miller as straight man proved an able person, and it is regrettable to note he was not long ago supporting one of such as Mr. Rucker is. His work is clean, of G. Cooper's kind. It proves an excellent foil to Mr. Rucker. The Stovalls, Wallace and Nina, are certainly there with the goods. Mr Stovall as Officer Picket showed beyond the part of three distinct characters, each one creating a decided impression. The lady member excelled in the part assigned her, as she sang herself into the part of three distinct characters, much resembled the character of Marguerite in "Faust." She acted her part well. The Valencia Sisters, Lillian and Maye, and two splendid bronze Melhas from Holyoke, Mass. They work they put in the song numbers showed how well adapted to the stage they are. Lillian scoring heavily in her song, "Goodbye, Rose, Rose," and the C. Boone was very much in evidence, having recently returned from a trip through Mexico. His baritone voice reached to each corner of the house, the company fame (Chicago), more recently of the Royal Sam Company, lived up to his reputation as a character artist of the first water, as he played the part of the character of the minded one of Course Payton in action. Mme. La Belle Glenn, who should be rightfully called Patti, certainly charmed the audience with her excellent singing, and as a pantomimist she is a splendid But it remained for the entrance of Mr. Rucker to set up the commotion, and he would have been better rested on his entrance. He sent a body home in good cheer. One could hear nothing but what Mr. Rucker did or said. Dressers in the company who pleased and received excellent reception were: Esta Bigoille, Tillie Johnson, Beatrice F. Moone, Israel James and George Allen. J. Herry Tuschal, the composer and conductor of operas and orchestra in a masterly way. Messrs Irvine C. Miller and J. Francis Moore produce alternately, and are pleasing to the satisfaction of the management. SMART SET IN TEXAS. The Smart Set Made a hit in Texas, and the white critics saw much merit in the set, which was an important musical comedy success, "His Honor in the West." The following is what has been said of the Smart Set on its southern tour: "At that that is humorous in the object of the hard in his aggressive that is attractive in his inimitable shuffles and "rags," and all that is melodious in the darky's voice was furnished in the darky's voice for the Smart Set in its three-act musical comedy, "The Darktown Politician." All the characters appear in their natural element in presenting their singing and playing, and probably a part of the play is that the actors, though few of them are of the old plantation type, do not appear to act at all—they seem to be playing the part belonging to members of the black race. Although, as a general rule, "all Negroes look alike" to some people, an exception is found in the Smart Set company in the person of Tutt Whitney, the owner of the company who designed the Lem Lee, the mayor of Newton. Lem Lee is the life of the entire play, keeping the audience—both gallery and pit—in an uproar throughout the time he is before the footlights. Another character that provides a wealth of fun is "Epiphany, Snow," a character who are so are true to life that old memories and associations follow his every action. THE FREEMAN.

"The Darktown Politician" is entertaining because it is farcical, mumorous, satirical and, above all, because it paradoxically are premier artists at aping the "white folks," and in this show the members on the Smart Set company do not belie the reputation of the race in this respect.—San Antonio Light. THE SMART SET AT THE PRINCE. It is doubtful if any audience that has an interest in the Smart Set has laughed as heartily and as long as did the crowd that witnessed last night "The Smart Set," that aggregation of clever and smart people more or less South. There are a number of excellent individual voices in the company, and the singing ensemble was of a high order. A very interesting part of the show was the murals created by both male and female entertainers. There are some brisk dancers in the company also, which set the galleries of colorful folk half wild. The presentation of these dancers and theiberian dances are attractive features. S. Tutt Whitney, "His Honah de Mayor," is the blackest comedian on the stage and one of the funniest, too. He escapes the criticism of most colored comedians, the thing does just enough of it to tickle, and then lets your imagination do the rest, which shows he is somewhat of a psychologist as wel las an actor. Blanche Thomas has a wonderful sweet voice in excellent training, "The Smart Set" is a much better production than might be expected of an all colored troupe. It will be the attraction at the Prince toto matinee and tonight.—Houston Post. INFORMS STAGE STRUCK GIRLS Hendonism. Girls aren't screamed 'bout me. You're faintly is not working.

Meet For the First Time and Made the Occasion Worthy at Jacksonville, Fla. One of the daintiest affairs of the season was a midnight lunch given on Tuesday evening, October 3rd, by the Whitman sisters to their friend, Miss Kathryn Berry. For the first time in theatrical history these two sisters act met and as they are the business some sort of a celebration was necessary. As the Whitman Sisters had just finished an engagement at the Globe theater, they met one, the Misses Whitman quietly appropriated the Misses Griffin as their guest. Their spacious apartment on Jefferson Street was guests hidden to come. There were dainty tables placed here and there in the parlor for lovers of whist, while the broad windows of the light and comfortable rooking chairs afforded a lounging place for those that felt inclined to spoon. After several games of whist came the announcement of supper, and the friends their friend and seated at the beautifully They ain't got em. GIFT LIKE YOU. Answer—Me, neither, Al. decorated table.

BY HAROLD C. MCCATH. CHAMP JACK IN BAD LINES. this announcement the mother of the girl Mixes Up With a White Woman and Sticks Like a Leech—The Mother Has Johnson Arrested. Another Big Boxing Event—All Local Celebrities On Hand—Mayor Shank Hay a Word to Say—Lowery vs. Gibbs (By Billie Lewis.) I said last week that Champ Jack had so completely overshadowed the pugilis' situation that a budget of sport stuff was not complete unless something was said of him. I did not. I did not. The time he such hamburgers as he has figured out so recently. It is unfortunate that things of the kind should see the light through public print. A few days ago he had his brother arrested, other joins in, and other misdeeds that were not in his interest as a free citizen. Ere this, recurrent Charles, one will think, has heard the clangorous gate of the toils heave to in his rear, unaware of the tears of the men who were there. But that's ancient his-ness it concerns Jack Johnson, who works very fast even for this fast age. GETS MIXED UP WITH A WHITE WOMAN. With all due respects to the late Mrs. Etta Johnson, the many friends of Jack felt that he would profit by his personal experiences that he felt some things during her life, and which should have impressed him deeply. To have struck to her was to have been to her circumcises—since he had her—but to repeat the act seems to me to be a very foolish piece of business. And this is what he threatens to do go on with. He is capable of the case is of age, hence is capable before the law of doing what she cares to do. Granted. But Mr. Johnson should bear in mind the stronger sentiment, and the laws. For instance, most of the states have laws that permit Negroes to do what other men do, but when it comes to doing the thing it is something of prejudice defying the laws. The foregoing from a general racial view point. Incidentally, we have among us persons, Negroes, We have outpour vails, unwritten, true enough, but the worse for it as above shown. There are men and women among Negroes, here and there, of a diminished social estate—they are worthy of a newer emancipation that releases from the newer thralldom. But the Negroes are not white people, advocate individual emancipation, when the entire race is looked on as a unit. For Jack Johnson or any other Negro to break over a this time meant to be white people, mean, and what many Negroes mean—that Negroes are not good enough for them. Shylock would say, "And you say He Sticks Like a Leech. The woman in the case is Miss Lucile Cameron, said to be but 19 years of age. She hails from Newmepolis, Minn., the daughter of Mrs. F. Cameron-Faulkner to the champion's attentions to Miss Cameron, go so far as to have her detained by the police. She told Police Captain Noot-baer that she loved Jack Johnson and that she had made her a proposal of marriage, she expected, soon to, become his wife. At $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for menstrual manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has so many worm and nervous men right in their homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and should have a copy of the prescription to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who wished me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surestacting combination for the cure of defiling manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that they can use it as a case for courage couraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the injecting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOTO, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: "I am in Robinson, $831 Luck Building, Detroit MI." Copy of this splendid receipt in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. this announcement the mother of the girl became hysterical. Later Johnson, accompanied by an attorney, visited the police station and attended the girl, but was denied permission to see her. "I can not go back and I don't want to go back to Minneapolis," said Miss Cameron, who appeared unaffected by the incident. "I expect to become the wife of Mr. Johnson shortly, although he has not proposed marriage to me. I love him and want to stay in Chicago." Cameron is standing by the woman and she is standing by him, in spite of the mother's dramatic entreaties. Mrs. Cameron-Falconet called up the pugilist by telephone. "He is in his mother, in which she accompanied his. She says: 'When I entered the machine I drew down the shades so as not to be seen. This nettled him.' "Oh, some of the best white women in the ride in this car' is what he said to me. "I begged Johnson to give my daughter up. He said he would not and leered in my face." "We rode to a house on Sheridan road, where Lucile was staying. She wept and told me she had gone too far to go back. Every once in a while she would walk the room with the Negro and talk with him." "I left her undecided. Finally she came to my hotel. We talked of how she could become disentangled. I was convinced at that time that the Negro had a hypnotic influence over her. She went downstairs to use the telephone, and he said, "I never returned. Johnson told me he would give every dollar he has to hold her." What Will be the End? Elsewhere in this issue will be seen where Johnson has been arrested in the attempt to break up the relationship of the pair. It is not the put in of any one, perhaps, beyond those immediately concerned, as it is commonly viewed. But sometimes private affairs reach public proportions, depending on the prominence of the individual, and in order to escape a too prying public, he should remember that he is a sort of king, consequently he can have no private affairs. It's a mean condition all right, but it's the penalty of greatness and exacted by a punctilious pub- In conclusion I feel to say that Johnson's move is very, very bad in face of all that is known, and in the face of the certain fate of the woman even should be given up. I am not sure and goes to Australia or Europe for permanent residence it will be altogether different. For as strong, eager and hopeful as Miss Cameron now appears, she will be able to be a white woman of untoward circumstances. The lovely Mrs. Etta would have still been in the flesh had they sojourned to France, to Spain or sunny Italy, where the deep, deep curse of race stigmatization is unquestionable. I hope the woman is leaner of beauty. I hope the mother and the courts will succeed in vetoing their "heartts legislation." More than the two are involved, since the race is held as a matter of law. And the people have no sympathy in the matter. I am satisfied that the Negroes have no sympathy in the matter. Now who is helped beyond the one pair, and who in the very nature of things is as lonely, in the very nature of things is as lonely, in the den of Eden, when the morning stars sang together. Another Big Boxing Event Pulled Off In Indianapolis. Indianapolis threats to become a center for demonstration of the many artistry involved in the show was pulled off, which was voted a very enjoyable affair by all. The noise got out about the biceps success put on by the crowd, and the last week was announced—well, it was all that was necessary. They came from all parts, white and colored, jamming the crowd with their music. It was a representative affair. It was far superior to the first event in most respects. Prominent People There. The Bouts. The bouts, which followed the amusing "Whizzing the Whizz," could have been more satisfactorily arranged. The management seemed more anxious to ask for a bigger bill. A big house like the one that came out Monday night of last week was deserving of something better than the first bouts that were pulled off. I go at once t o the Lowery-Gibbs set-up. I set up scraps worthy of mention. Gibbs it is held by most people present, got the better of Lowery. And it appears so on the face of things. But Lowery would not be surprised if the fighters say fighters go by classes when it comes to the real thing. Gibbs does about 153 pounds; Lowery about 137. With anything like training on Gibbs' part it is impossible to say fighters do a done him. Lowery was game; he said he took too a long a chance. He had to go against this big man or lose his opportunity for a big hand in the gate receipts. He had to fight; he drew the crowd; he had to fight. The fight, while apparently against THE FREEMAN.

Mother of Cameron Girl Swears to Warrant Charging Daughter CHICAGO—Charged with abduction of Lucile Cameron, a 19-year-old white girl, Jack Johnson, Negro pugilist, was arrested on charges of bond of $800, furnished by himself. He was to appear later in court for preliminary hearings. He was arrested on a warrant sworn to by Mrs. F. Cameron-Falconet of Minneapolis, Minn., the mother o the girl. Assistant United States District Attorney James Hammond was investigating with view of government prosecution under the Mann act prohibiting illegal transportation of women from one state to another. Cameron was served with a subpena, calling her defendant in the case against Johnson. She refused to go home with her mother and was taken into custody by the police by Mrs. Cameron-Falconet, charging the girl with disorder conduct in order to keep her in the hands of the police until a complete inquiry can be Held Under $25,000 Bond. Later Mrs. Cameron-Falconet appeared before Judge Owens in the County Court and sword a fortune to the county judge, was jailed. Judge Owens issued a commitment order for detention of the girl at the Detention Hospital pending investigation as to her mental condition. She was placed under bond for $25,000 by the federal authorities to appear as a witness against Johnson, and United States District Judge John M. Reed ordered Miss Cameron taken to the federal building, where she will be held under special guard until she appears before the federal grand jury next Monday. Johnson was acquitted by the Detention Hospital for examination as to her amity will not be served unless Jack Johnson succeeds in having her re-examine the case. Miss Cameron told the police she loved Johnson and expected to become his wife.

I am proud to say that as tall as any man can say that we ever truss any indoors with performers from another show. I have several times informed performers that they should give a two weeks' notice, and we a show like gentlemen did that they would have to them, and again, I have gone to other managers and introduced myself and made my wants known, and have asked if I should have I sneaked around like a snake in the grass, trying to do any underhanded work. And I think the sooner the thieves adopt that way of doing business the easier it will be. I would like to hear from Eph Williams on the subject and learn what he has to say. I believe Mr. Williams to be a straight-A student, he would like him several times and he is always the first to come and greet you and let you know he is around and I have never had a performer follow him off.

NOTES FROM THE INDIANAPOLIS BRANCH OF THE N. A. A. C. P. In September the Woman's Civic Club became a branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by promoting the joy of their rights as citizens, justice in all courts, and equality of opportunity everywhere. It favors, and aims to aid, every kind of education among them, save the lives of their children. It prefers, class or caste. It recognizes the national character of the Negro problem and no sectionalism. It believes in the upholding of the constitution of the United States, and in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of "all men up and no man down." It abhors Negro crime, but still more, the conditions which breed crime, and the conditions which mobs in the mockery of the law, or by individuals in the name of the law. It believes that the scientific truths of the Negro problem must be available before the best way to clear to right existing wrongs. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peace and social justice. It has no other desire than exact justice, and no other motive than humanity. Every person who believes that it is man's divine right to protect against injustice, should become a member of this In the October "Crisis" Mr. James B. Clark gives an interesting quotation from Mr. Roosevelt in "The Cuban Revolution." The Indianapolis branch will meet with Mrs. Roosevelt with street. Friday, November 1. Lunch will be served. All friends are invited. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Everything is moving along in fine form. The Bible class and gymnasium classes are giving satisfaction, and the band and orchestra practices are doing well.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. PAST WEEK AT LOUISVILLE (By Lee L. Brown, 1006 West Chest nut Street. Home Phone 4511.) Madam McNardee Brice, of Indianapolis, Ind, the well-known clairvoyant, is visiting in the city. She left for Lexington Tuesday evening. Rev. J. C. Anderson, formerly pastor of the new uinn Chapel church of this city, has been assigned to the church in Lexington, Fayette City, of this church, has been assigned to Quinn Chapel. There seems to be more interest in the coming school commissioners' election than in the coming presidential election. Rev. J. M. Monday, pastor of St. Clement Episcopal church, of Henderson, and grand master of Masons of the state of Kentucky, was in the city this week. The citizens of Louisville listened to a most pleasing address last Sunday after attending high school, Prof. W. B. Matthews. The subject of the address was "Opportunity," divided into a number of very appropriate outlines. There will be a very interesting entertainment given at the new Quinn Chapel church by the Sunday School Guild, on November 6 and 7. Mrs. Nannie Adams entertained her whist club last Friday afternoon. Miss Hattie Lee Brannon was married last Wednesday. Mr. Phil Brown, the veteran newspaper man, is doing some good work in Chicago for the Republican campaign committee. His things are be found among all the colorful members, and a valuable asset to the Republican party. If Taft wins, Mr. Brown, no doubt, will be found reaching after one of the choice federal plums. A fe wmonths ago Jack Johnson was highly entertained in this city. The recorder, who was about the champion have caused many of his admirers to frown with disgust at him. A few of the local papers have often special articles concerning the affair. --- One year ago Louisville was fast becoming a very popular theatrical town, some of the best colored artists in the United States were seen here, from time to time. We were told by the managers of our local theaters. They were of a class that was suitable for most any one to see. The tide has changed, the theatergoing public have become more involved in the acts, with only one colored playhouse in the city and that one does not cater to high class acts. Last week several raids were made upon immoral resorts. In each case a number of young girls were found. Someone is neglecting their duty. We will not say who it is, but allow our readers to see the acts. We help them seven months we have been fighting vice in this city. Some times the way seems dark and it does not seem as if good results will be gotten out of our crushes. We help them to believe as there is life there is hope, and that are long the time will come when we will feel happy to know that we have done some good toward ridding the city of a crime. We help the manhood and womanhood of our boys and girls. Louisville was honored this week by having Attorney Brown, of Chicago, pay her a visit. He was on a speaking tour in the interest of the Bull moose party and paid our office a visit. Jordan Jackson, colored, of Lexington, Ky., was elected, this week, as a candidate for commissioner. His friends all over the country are praying for his success. He received over a thousand votes. Mr. Jack Mason, who has been ill for over nine months, died Tuesday morning, at the city hospital. He was buired on Wednesday. Miss Elinora Lee left Wednesday for Hardenburg, Ky. The memory of the great Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is to be honored by a special musical service next Sunday by the Louisville Musical Club. Very little interest is being taken by the colored politicians of this city in the coming election. The city is filled with a large number of Bull Moose pins. From the number of men, white and colored, you would think this a Bull Moose town. Senator W. O. Bradley is scheduled to make a special address to the colored voters this week. The Central colored high school, under the new management of Prof. W. B. W. B. Perry, is a well-respected teacher. These teachers have all joined hands with the principal, each striving to make it the best colored high school in the United States. Hon. E. W. Glass, one of the most prominent colored men in western Kentucky, was in the city this week on business. . . . The Negro Outlook Committee will hold its regular meeting Friday night, October 25, at their headquarters, 1006 West Chestnut street. It is rumored that the Olio theater will open very soon. We clip the following item from one of our local papers, which should serve to stimulate colored chauffeurs all over the country. Such an item, coming from a southern newspaper, in defense of our child, should be copied by every colored paper in the United States: "The humiliating discriminations practiced upon colored people in the ordinary work of the disenchancement colored voters; and thelings, L Lynch, and all the decrees of race prejudice together, great as they are, fade into comparative insignificance when the new laws are enacted and thelings tacked. And when any avenue of labor is closed upon us because of race, that is attack upon us, the profession or occupation of colored man is so closed with respect by us or our friends we may expect others to be closed at the wish of our enemies. The profession or occupation of colored man does not possess, yet it remains for a rabid southern sheet to suggest that colored men be kept out of such machines as the employer and owners of machines for the work of great pleasure in giving to its readers the editorial that appeared in the Post. The Tennessean." "The Birmingham Age-Herald, commenting upon the killing by a rapidly-driven automobile in that city of a well-known and respected citizen, dwells upon the fact that that the chauffeur was a "“The lesson,” says the Birmingham man, a rule should not be employed within the city limits. They are not mechanical, and they do not, as a rule, possess the judgment, caution needed in traversing city streets. “Our observation is exactly to the contrary. There are no doubt in Louis-Philippe man who will, stand at, the entrance to "The automobile has come to stay, and in this occupation there is prospect of a great success for the most intelligent Negro men. It is proper that such Negroes as are reckless or criminal should be severely punished. But any southern city that attempts to dismantle the Negro system will, we think, not only do an injustice to the Negro race, but will also deprive the white automobile owner of some benefit labor on the market."—The News.
