SAYS STATEMENT ATTRIBUTED TO HIM IS UTTERLY FALSE THAT APPOMATIX CLUB CONFERENCE Grand Banquet to be Tender Big Politicians on Saturday Evening by J. T. Brewington—W. A. D. Venerable Returned to the City—Social Notes. (By Cary B. Lewis.) (By Phil H. Brown, Assistant Director of Publicity, National Republican Committee.) CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 29.—(Special.)—The efforts of the Chicago Examiner to put Jack Johnson out of commission, has about failed, for all the newspaper notoriety that was observed, for the past ten or twelve years, paid for by members of the race, upon Johnson's own testimony, believe the puglist to be not guilty. We have this from Johnson's own lips: "I want to say that I never made that statement, that I could get any white woman I wanted. I lay my hand upon the Bible, and swear that I never made such a statement. "My father was a Christian and my mother is a Christian, and I know what I want to say that I never said anything of theourt about any woman of any color. "But I do want to say that I am not a slave, and that I have the right to choose who my mate shall be given in the right to select the woman of my own choice. Nobody else can do that for me. That is where the whole trouble lies." Wednesday night of last week, Attorney R. P. Moseley called one hundred representatives to the tox Club for conference, with Jack Johnson present: Rev. D. P. Roberts, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church; Attorney Edward H. Wright, Dr. Geo. C. Hall, Mr. J. A. Scott, assistant state's attorney, and H. Hon. Geo. W. Ellis. Some of the speakers white-washed the whole affair, while others played the champion unmercifully. The result of the meeting was the adoption of the following resolution. Resolutions. "The colored citizens of Chicago, through a number of their representatives, assembled at the Appomattox Club, 3441 South Wabash avenue, for the purpose of opposing the public anent the unfortunate Jack Johnson affair, submit: "That the tone of the daily newspaper expressions regarding this episode manifestly does the Negro race an injustice by forming the entire Negro race for the alleged misconduct of one of its members. "That we, as law-abiding citizens, in common with all good citizens of whatsoever, do not condemn any immoral conduct or violation of the law by a member of the white or colored race. "That we disavow any and all implied publications that the Negro race, as a race approve the alleged utterances of Johnson, or any alleged act or act, which the Negro race betrayed among all lines for the moral standing or bring into disregard, pledge ourselves to use our highest endeavors to blot out any Negro or set of Negroes, whose immoral conduct tends to the moral standing or bring into disregard, or any statement reflecting upon the womanhood of any race, and being corroborated in such denial by Joseph envy, a white man who was present at the statement was alleged to have been added. "We therefore appeal to the sense of irness of the public and press alike to continue the unfalling disposition to injure the entire Negro race for any infraction of the race by an individual member of the race. Louis B. Anderson, Dr. George Hall, I. Louis B. Fujita, F. Julian G. Geo, W. his B. F. Jesseley, ex-officio, committee or resolutions. Up to this writing but little has been published about Johnson that stock changes is confidentially reported that stock changes in the East have sent word to the newspaper of Chicago, that they no longer send out Johnson stories relative to the Chicago stock. It has also been learned that Johnson will most likely sell his place and go to New York. He is in a awful hard thing for him to successfully and peacefully in this country. Politicians to Be Banqueted. Mr. James T.

N. Field, R. A. Abbot, J. Hockley Smiley will occupy press seats. Mr. W. A. D. Venerable, a staunch Independent, has just returned from an extended trip through Iowa, Missouri and Kansas to battle for the speaking on subject of "Rosevelt's Constitution Faith and Its Bad Effect Upon Seven Million Negroes." He reports enthusiastic meetings throughout, and says "there can be no question but that Governor Wilson will vote than any other candidate on the national Democratic ticket than was ever received in those sections.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 16, 1912. Bishop Alexander, Walters, care Judge Robert S. Hudspeth, New York, N. Y. Mear Dish Walters' It is a matter of genuine disappointment to me that I am able to be present at the meeting Saturday morning. I am cancelling every possible engagement, in view of the distressing assault upon Mr. Roosevelt, I do not feel that I can properly add others. I am fulfilling which I have been bound for many weeks. It would afford me pleasure to be present, because there are certain things I want to see, because I seem supervised to those who know me more than those who do not know me, perhaps it is not unnecessary for me to assure my colored fellow citizens of my earnest wish to see justice done them in every matter, to see justice done them in justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law, every principle of our constitution commands this, and our sympathies should also be easy. The oblated progress of the United States have made extraordinary progress toward self-support and usefulness, and ought to be encouraged in every possible and proper way. Sympathy with them is long standing, and those you through them, that should I become President of the United States, they may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing interests of their race in the United States.

Henry Wade Rogers, dean of the Yale law school, has followed Professor Eliot, of Harvard University, in dealing candidate Roosevelt some hot ones, right off the bat. Either of these distinguished individuals are for Mr. Wilson, consequently what they say is interesting—this aside from their commanding position as educators. The country is dependent on this class of men—idealists—as it concerns the preservation of government—men of great civic pride who are jealous of the country's name and fame. "Ill fares the land" that is without these groups of individuals, who have put past themselves selfish ends, politically speaking, serving the country in a sort of patriarchal way, a relationship guaranteeing the very best service. In every community there are such groups, in or out of office, and to whom the people turn for guidance in stressful times. They are the stronger forces in the making of public sentiment. They are the stronger forces for the condemnation of wrongs. And indeed the schools would but poorly play their part were they not the means of bringing about these "rocks" of defense, whether from foes without or foes within. We may conclude that when these reserve forces are out, deploying right and left, that it is worthy of their while. In the candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt we have an unexamined case of political audacity; nothing is sacred to him, swearing by the tenet of the sword that the ends justify the means. Washington and his third-term tradition be hanged, says he, virtually, thus breaking the silent compact with the dead, and which act was still greater in the content than in the deed. It showed that a President of the United States was capable of being a Caesar of the United States, and from all indication would parallel the infamous Nero, the last of his line, if he felt sufficiently provoked. "Mr. Roosevelt showed while he was President an unwillingness to submit to the restraints which the Constitution imposes upon the President. I regard him as the most lawless President the nation has ever had. As I believe in a government of laws and not of men, I am opposed to him. I regard his views of the powers of a President as absolutely unsound and dangerous. The alternative of a government of law is despotism." Wise, earnest, thoughtful men are not in the habit of speaking of ordinary men in common terms. But here is an ex-President who has so greatly overridden his bounds that men forget and go over their bounds in speaking of him. Perhaps no Presidential candidate ever before has called forth such unfavorable criticism. The most that was said of Lincoln was that he was stupid, ignorant, a backwoodsman, an ass, and things of that description. He was thought a fool or a simpleton. He disproved it all, moving as a very Christ among men—wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove. Roosevelt has forfeited his respect among his kind; scholars, statesmen and the thoughtful, regardless of their education, are seeing in him a political gymnast whose every turn is a prayer for more power. They see him coming down from the pedestal where are consigned the distinguished who have been greatly honored. There at its base he is abusing and receiving abuse, making a picture not unlike that of the fishmonger wives of Billings. "The fact is that I long since lost all confidence in Theodore Roosevelt's sincerity. I believe him to be a man whose gluttonous lust for power has so taken possession of him that he is ready to go any lengths if only his selfish ends can be promoted. He can turn traitor to his party, be Judas Iscariot to his best friend, be Mr. Facing Both Ways to the colored race, break his solemn promise made to all the people of the nation that he would not 'under any circumstances' again be a candidate for the presidency, or put any man or woman in the Ananias Club whose veracity it serves his purpose at any time to challenge." Indeed, we must confess ourselves hard put if we find it our necessity to have Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.

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.

Republican Party Has Always Stood For Law and Order—Democratic Party Has Condoned Lawlessness. President Taft Has Denounced Lynching In Many Public Utterances. In forty years more than 5,000 persons have been the victims of mobs. Vardanams, Miss., has the largest number to its discredit. Afro-Americans have been lynched for such causes as race prejudice, informing, making threats, unpopularity, slapping a child, being troublesome, testifying against white persons, enticing servants away and in many cases for no cause whatever. The Republican party is essentially the party of law and order. While the Democratic party has condoned lawlessness, the Republican party has always stood for the supremacy of the law. The majority of the lynchings have taken place in states controlled by the Democratic party. President Taft has denounced lynching in the strongest terms in many public utterances. President Taft Advocates the Rope For Lynchers. At a meeting held April 9, 1912, in the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Washington, for the purpose of raising funds for the building of a gymnasium at Howard university President Taft condemned mob law in vigorous language. The president did not mince his words, and he was greeted with thundering applause when he declared with emphasis, "The man that pulls the rope should hang by the rope." President Taft said in part: "Now, take the matter of lynching. That as well as the administration of our criminal law forms a disgraceful page in our social history. [Hearty applause.] I just think it is well to take a text on that subject. [Prolonged applause and cheers.] "Now, I know that our courts are not perfect. I know that they don't apply the law with certainty and dispatch in the criminal cases as they ought to, and I believe that part of this departure from laws as is the case in lynching and disorder is due to the fact that courts are not certain and are not full of dispatch in the justice meted out in criminal cases. But we must not attribute it all to the courts. There is among our people a disposition to forget the sanctity of the law and not to know that no civilization in any country can live unless the law is respected. [Prolonged applause.] Now, lynching is claimed by some to be justified because, as they say, it is applied only to the person guilty of one special crime that is particularly heinous to all of us. But that is not true. Statistics show that lynching is applied to those charged with a great many crimes, and the moment you transgress once and the moment the mob acquires the wolfish desire for human blood the example is dreadful to the community in which the exhibition of lawlessness is given. [Prolonged applause.] And there is not any crime—I don't care what it is—that justifies a departure from the law or the summary punishment by a mob of the person who is charged with guilt. [Prolonged applause.] It is one of the serious questions that we have to face in this country. We have not among all of our people as profound a respect for the law and the necessity for obedience to it as we ought to have, and that is part of the reason why we have this exhibition of lawlessness over the country and these cruel murders, for that is what they are, for it is no less a murder when 400 participate in the killing of one man. Ordinarily it is accompanied by a great deal more of cowardice by reason of the fact that 400 are engaged in such a crime. "AND THE ONLY WAY BY WHICH IT CAN BE SUPPRESSED IS THAT SOME TIME WE SHALL HAVE MEN AS SHERIFFS, MEN AS GOVERNORS AND AS PROSECUTORS AND AS JURORS, WHO WILL SEE TO IT THAT THE MEN ENGAGED IN PULLING THE ROPE UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS SHALL THEMSELVES SWING BY THE ROPE. [Hearty applause and cheering.] Wherever it occurs it is to be condemned and rooted out, and this can only be done by developing an individual and public opinion demanding the enforcement of the law. And I hold that every one who tends to minimize respect for constituted authority and respect for the law and fails to follow it just as it is contributes to the continuance of that lawlessness which we deplore theoretically, but, I am sorry to say, at the same time we express too much sympathy with actually." Party principles have not changed. The Democratic party is the same today as it was before the war, so far as the Afro-American is concerned. The Afro-American has everything to gain by the triumph of the Republican party, the party which stands for freedom and human rights. SOMETHING IN A SMILE. A smile is a fetching something, even if it is on a wax figure. In the show windows of one of our largest stores are some brand new wax figure ladies. We know that they are new because they are different somewhat from any others shown heretofore. In passing the windows not long since a mother, with her boy and girl, were coming from the opposite direction. They were also sight-seeing. The boy was about ten years old, the girl perhaps younger by a year or so. He was just a common looking boy; his clothes were good enough, but they were plain. In fact, the three appeared of middle circumstances in life. It is necessary to give this setting to make the picture complete and the story worth while relating. The figures in the window are radiant in everything—raiment like the lilies of the field, counterances like a garden of recently blown roses, not quite in their full, and smiles that are not short of tantalizing. The boy looked humble and poor by contrast, but nevertheless of the American spirit which upholds the right to look, if he could not possess. Evidently the boy had been observing elsewhere as they trudged along, for several figures were passed without arousing his attention. He was now turning his face to the window when he uttered a little joyful cry on seeing one of the figures, which was so radiant in everything, and which was moment to have appealed to him for a moment as a thing of life in a way. He raised his hat, half drew it from his head, yet held it in the half-drawn position, as if he were as ashamed of his audible outburst. He had that peculiar smile which is the mixture of bashfulness, admiration and shame in that his mother and sister caught him in the act of spontaneous admiration, and which he could not deny—the very witnesses he would much rather not have had about him at the time. The mother and sister gave him that surprised look, as if to say shame on you, the sister going so far as to laugh outright at him for his youthful exuberation, especially since a fourth person saw it all, thus making the situation more amusing. Here was where a painter would have failed in bringing out on his canvas all that was expressed. It could not be expressed on the stage because it was too fleeting, too subtle. One just had to see it, to take in the vast difference between the boy and the lady in age, in station, looks, etc. Then the joy of the sister in seeing her brother "taken in" by the fine lady, and the mother who was astonished and amused at her son. He evidently had forgotten them for the moment. CLARKSVILLE, TENN. MERIDIAN. MISS. Special to THE FREEMAN. St. Mary, Daniels, mother of Mrs. B. Peterson, died on October 15.

SATURDAY, NOV 2, 1912. Vote so as to best insure suffrage in general—in the South as well as the North, East and West. Potatoes at 40 cents per has the good old-time sound. Indiana spuds now at that price. Vote for that grand American, William Howard Taft—a very best exponent of idealism in public affairs. A foreigner reading after Roosevelt would think that this county is in the midst of a social and political upheaval. Vote to keep the Constitution intact, especially the latter part of it—those amendments—those very last amendments. It begins to look as if the Turk will have to concede something to his allied enemies, who are fighting as if of ancient grudge. Vote to preserve the form of our government—the best in the world. The recall is a thing of political debility, ennui, dissipation. The Colonel is still playing to the gallaries. Perhaps he gets a few hands down below, but most of thee know that "nothin's doing." Woodrow Wilson has had a kindly word to say for the Negro. President Taft has expressed himself time and time again. Mr. Roosevelt has been as mum as an oyster, except when he told the Southern delegates to get back. The death of James S. Sherman, candidate for Vice President on the Republican ticket, causes a very awkward situation. His passing is regretted. He was an estimable gentleman who had won the friendship of men regardless of party ties. He died Wednesday night of uremic poisoning at his home in Atica, N. Y. The initiative, referendum and recall is but another form of local option in the enforcement of the civil rights of the Negro. We want none of it. Imagine the direful effect of such a program in the South, where local sentiment is irrevocably against his civil and political advancement!—Exchange. You got it right. "We approve the policy of the Southern States in granting pensions to the ex-Confederate soldiers and sailors and their widows and children." In the platform of the Roosevelt party. It seems to us that it was not up to Mr. Roosevelt and his platform makers as to what the Southern States were doing in such a matter. It is another evidence of an unusual effort to win votes, that's all. We are too ready to conclude that things are right, that individuals are right because they are popular, never for a moment thinking of the cause of the popularity, nor of its probable effects should it be misdirected. Mr Roosevelt is admired by many, not so much owing to what he has accomplished for the nation as to other circumstances which in no sense bear on things of the government. Yet in governmental tenets he is held correct by many, when in fact he has adopted only such things as assured him allies of individuals who hold similar views, thus promoting his own candidacy. The workingman knows the difference between the wages he receives and that of his brother workman abroad. Forbidding the entrance of foreign goods into our markets on equal terms with our own, knowing that the lower prices of foreign made goods result from lower priced labor, is a Republican policy. Others would dislodge the Republicans of the principle, calling it old and useless. But the truth is too plain for mistaking. Labor is the principal item in the cost of any production; it virtually rules the selling price. Lower priced commodities are appreciated, but what about the wherewith to purchase? The colored voters will have to work very industriously if they find anything against President Taft. He has been very attentive to calls made on him to address gatherings of colored people, where he has expressed himself without stint along lines which proved his attitude towards the race. On one of these occasions he spoke on lynching, saying, in part: "And the only way by which it can be suppressed is that some time we shall have men as sheriffs, men as governors, and as prosecutors and as jurors, who will see to it that the men engaged in pulling the rope under those conditions shall themselves swing-by the rope." Mr. Taft is a splendid American—a best representative. He failed only in doing what he was not permitted to do. The colored people accuse him of one thing only—friendly with the South at their expense. The fact is that Mr. Taft was making an effort at being an ideal President. He desired the least friction. He would see no North, South, East or West as favorite localities. The scheme needs applause, even if we do suffer some as officeholders, as has been alleged. The accusation is trifling. The common good includes us all. Mr. Taft has done his part in appointing colored men to office. He heads the list in the matter. He is worthy of the customary two terms. Jack Johnson denies that he said he could get any white woman he wanted. We are exceedingly glad that he gets away from the charge. Men sometimes do say foolish things like that, when drunk with their successes; but they are not quoted. They do not mean it—simply an exaggerated way of speaking of their ability as the winner of hearts. We would not care to hear such boasts among us, especially as they concern a class of women who pride virtue above all else, preferring to bestow their jewels—diamonds, rubies. Our own women, many of them, can be also included, and owe it to themselves to be above temptation, beyond which is permitted those who seek one another mutually and rightfully. Aurora, Ind., has the reputation of being one of the few towns of the country where Negroes are not expected. Not long since laborers were needed to do some cement work for a coal company. White laborers could not be found to do it. The company concluded to bring in Negro help from Cincinnati, O. Three Negro laborers consented to tackle tough Aurora, at least through the day. They return to Cincinnati each night. About their work is posted, "Negro, stop, read and run," and "Negro, don't let the sun go down on you in this town." Aurora is scarcely more than a hamlet. Its example is bad, but, happily enough, it is confined to a very small area. Policemen have been appointed to guard the Negroes while at their work. This speaks very well for the authorities. Aurora would be a poor place for the recall if one of those Negroes should find it necessary to go to court. Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic presidential nominee, is for the referendum, which, like the recall, is also a blow at our form of government. When speaking at Harrisburg, Pa., Monday night, a listener asked, "How about the referendum?" Mr. Wilson said: "Pennsylvania should take care of that; it is not a national question; but let me tell the gentleman who mentioned it that there have been times at Harrisburg when no legislature was so sorely in need of having its acts referred to the people as that at the capital of Pennsylvania." The legislators should have been referred to the people because they violated their pledges, oaths, obligations. Thievery has been in many places, in private business concerns. "Turn the rascals out," has been the thing, the surest sign of effort to have confidence restored. The people of Pennsylvania could have done the same thing. They paid the penalty, as many another poor, sleepy, ill-conducted business has done. "All of us know that in every State south of the Mason and Dixon line there is no Republican party, and that the representatives to the national convention have been composed of a set of men who have held their positions at the dictum of the officeholders in those sections. The people did not elect them, and therefore they were not the representatives of the people." The above is the colored Bull Moosers' effort to justify Roosevelt's position on the Southern Negroes. It was not necessary that the Negroes in the single instance become preferred citizens—coming cleaner than other delegates. The manner of election, in principle, is the same as it has been for years in the South. The mere name of primary is not particularly saving. We do not question the elections at any time, saying only that they are not different in principle. The same old idea prevails—getting results. If the primary is the thing, it is not a different thing to that which got white men to Chicago. Mr. Roosevelt, when selected for the candidate of the Republican party, was helped through these "mean instrumentalities." Here is also a case where Mr. Roosevelt's deception is plain, where his political finesse opened up to the intent of the individual. Here was a play, plain enough, for the thing that would count him most; which shall it be, the white South, rich, opulent, influential, with practically all political power, or the unpopular Negro, long since broken politically? He chose. We know the rest. We sometimes think we are poorest of all mortals. We think our country is the meanest too often. What others do, other countries, of course, is no excuse for the mistreatment of colored people here. We have said a number of times that the race question belts the globe. We reproduce the following from an African paper: "It would seem that it is not only in Nigeria that the vanity of some European officials takes such eccentric forms. A correspondent of the Sierra Leone Weekly News writes in a recent issue of that paper, telling of his experience while in the protectorate. He and a friend of his were sitting in the piazza of a house peeling and eating some oranges, when a European, borne in a hammock, was seen coming up tre road. "They did not pay any particular attention until they heard him exclaim, 'Why the devil don't those fellows get up and take off their caps when they see a district commissioner passing?' One of the court messengers accompanying the official was seen to approach them, when they got up and re- THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER mained standing; but this did not satisfy the European, who called them to him and severely reprimanded them for omitting to take off their caps and salute him. "They pleaded that they did not know he was the district commissioner, but this did not help them, for the official replied that whether they did or did not know it, whenever they saw a white man they were to take off their cap and salute him; and as a punishment, and to impress the lesson upon them, he ordered them to walk for some distance in front of his hammock, and then dismissed them." WOULD WHIP NEGROES IN LINE A big Bull Moose of Illinois, not long since, had this to say: "The Negroes are making the mistake of their lives. The time has come when the Republican party cannot protect them, and the Democratic party is their enemy. They had better make their peace with the new Progressive party. If they don't, we will join hands with the Democratic party and disfranchise the Negroes in the North." If the Republican party falls in doing its utmost for the Negroes, according as it is permitted by public sentiment to do so, it will be because it has become a minority party and cannot do so. It is up to the Negroes to save themselves through that party or any other party that does equally as well by them. The Progressive party is but a few months old; it has announced in the index where it stands on the Negro question. Surely this party that faints without a struggle will not be a party that does equally as well by them. The point is that the speaker, a big Bull Moose, proves the attitude of that party. He would whip the Negroes in line, employing Mr. Roosevelt's tactics. The "big whip" is not interested in high principles or low principles. How to get the offices is it. Master politics has been put in practice, threatening when everything else failed. Men that are essentially politicians have no time to dwell on the humanities. "We are practical men," is the idea. The race is not run with patience by these; the weights that beset are cut off. The Republican party has proven the only party that stood for men—to the last man—the Negro man. THE "BECAUSES." Some of the earnest, honest Negro Bull Moosers are trying to figure out that the new party movement is a cure-all, including racial ills. They are trying to see the movement directly in the interest of the race. One of the "becauseuses" why the colored voters should support Roosevelt, uttered by the Colored National Bureau at Chicago, is as follows: "Because the Republican party, by action, long ago considered the Negro a burden, and refused to give the colored citizen the protection and recognition to which his citizenship, numbers and party fealty entitled him." Perhaps such argument will answer for campaign purposes. But we, the Negro race, have more than politics to serve. Whatever protection in the past that has been refused Negroes was not a thing of parties, but of individuals. That the individuals acted singly or collectively does not matter. The Bull Moose party has no Negro program that is appealing; it has none at all. In fact, its very actuating sentiment as it regards Negroes is repellant. The air of opposition pervades and not that of cordiality. The Southern Negro policy will not be limited; it is an all-Negro policy, if we are true to race and our best interests. It is up to us to make it so. Greek and Macedon are flying across worlds this week, last week, at the cry of Macedon and Greek, true to the call of flesh and blood. The lesson of clanship is indeed strong, yet a great object lesson to Negroes, who are too willing to ignore facts for blandishments, fattery and the still more substantial. If we must at this day speak of parties as instruments in whatever salvation enjoyed, to which party must we refer? If the "bloody shirt" must be waved as illustration of the Negroes' freedom, which party will benefit? If the Republican party by action long ago considered the Negro a burden, what party has undertaken to make his conditions better? In short, who shall we thank for favors received, great or small? And if we are so ungrateful as to think of what has come to us as small, will it say that no thanks are due at all? Then are we willing to pass up the small favor and pass back to the first condition? For value received, is the worlds flat. No transaction is bona fide unless there is an apparently approximate equivalent value passing to one and to the other. Some more because: "Because the Negro has lost his constitutional rights and his protection to life and property, while the Republican party, his supposed friend, has been in power. Because the Republican party abandoned the Negro years ago, and has ceased to stand for the manhood of the race." What party brought about whatever loss is in mind?—voting privileges in the South, presumably. True, it was not the new party. But what has that party to offer on the subject? Why should Negroes be willing to stake so much on the Bull Moose party, which says never a word in their behalf? A race question is in this country, and as to it, if "the Negro has lost his constitutional rights and his protection to life and property," and so forth, he has merely lost what the Republican party has brought to him. If with the efforts of the Negroes and the Republican party jointly the Negroes have yet lost ground, what would have happened without the assistance? The Republican party has protested every wrong. Other parties have not done so; perhaps because they have not been called on to do so. But the fact remains, nevertheless. That, however, is no argument. The argument is that the race question is not a thing of politics. Politics has done much in making for present conditions, but it can do no more unless the people, the majority, feel to concede more. The people and the parties are not differ- ent; when the people are right, the parties are right. Parties reflect the people; they are the people. In the zeal for success the Bull Moorsers at Chicago have thought of the party and the people as far apart. They make it appear that the people are willing for conditions that the parties will not stand for. They strike at the Republican party when they should strike at everything else besides. It alone has stood for the Negroes. When it became unpopular to stand aggressively for them, it stood pat for them. This unpopularity is not an abstract something; it is the opposition of the people. The Republican party has been compelled to stand still in the Negroes' interest, owing to this opposition, racial opposition manifest everywhere, regardless of parties. It has been careful in its political awards that it should not be totally destroyed by untoward circumstances. But it has at no time repudiated a single principle of the rights of the individual as such, and as declared by the laws. These are facts, and not campaign utterances to influence votes. If we are willing to put a new and untried party on the job, to say the least, we would be taking an extreme risk. The idea includes the one of political longevity, and to this extent: Parties will do those things only which are conducive to their lease of life. THOMAS R. SHIPP FOR CONGRESS. The Republican candidate for Congress from this district is Thomas R. Shipp, of this city. Mr. Shipp is a brilliant young man who has had an interesting and varied career in public affairs. Perhaps no individual of his age in this community has been so serviceable to the country. Mr. Shipp knows the ins and outs of Washington, where he was for a number of years as secretary to Senator Beveridge. "He came to Indianapolis twenty years ago from Morristown, Shelby county, at the age of seventeen, and entered Butler College, graduating in 1897. He made his way through college by newspaper work during his college course and in vacation. He took up active newspaper work with the Indiana troops during the Spanish-American war, later on serving as reporter, political writer and staff correspondent for the Indianapolis News. He was appointed clerk of the committee on territories of the United States Senate and handled the executive affairs of that large committee during the statehood fight; conducted the Senate committee through the territories and also in charge of the first investigation that committee made of government affairs in Alaska. He acquired wide experience and close personal acquaintance with government affairs and public men throughout the country. As secretary to Senator Beveridge he handled many important Indiana affairs in government departments. "His experience in Congress and acquaintance with men throughout the country attracted attention of Gifford Pinchot and Theodore Roosevelt, by whom he was chosen as editor of the U. S. Forest Service and in charge of all publications of that division of the government." The list of activities is long, including a secretaryship of the U. S. S. Inland Waterways Commission. He organized the Conference of Governors of the United States at the White House in May, 1908. "When the National Conservation Commission, consisting of Senators, Congressmen and noted public men, was appointed, Shipp was elected by them as general secretary. In that capacity he was intrusted with the publicity of the entire conservation movement and was the man through whom the work of the Forest Service, Reclamation Service, Department of Agriculture and other government bureaus was co-ordinated; he was in executive charge of the work of the several government departments in making the first inventory of national resources ever made. In this capacity he acquired intimate personal acquaintance with government affairs. "In view of this experience he was chosen to organize the second Conference of Governors, of which he was elected secretary. He was chosen as secretary by the joint committee between the States and the Nation, in Forestry, Irrigation, Waterway and Public Land affairs. When the National Conservation Association was organized by Gifford Pinchot, Walter L. Fisher and Henry L. Stimson, both of whom are now members of President Taff's Cabinet, he was elected its secretary under Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University." Mr. Shipp's large acquaintance with public affairs warrants the confidence imposed in him as a fitting representative for Congress. He has been enthusiastically supported by prominent and thoughtful men. The colored voters will find Mr. Shipp friendly and mindful of their interests. See that he gets your vote. THE AUDITORIUM, PHILADELPHIA Always offering a good show, the Auditorium last week surpassed its best efforts by giving a number of acts that numbered up to 100, of excellence. It was a very happy, combination of music, drama and vaudeville. Evon Robinson and girls, featuring Mimi Batter, gave a natural and manic performance of how easy it was to do good work. They were the hit of the week.

New Crown Garden TIM E. OWSLEY, Mgr. Offers a program that contains three new acts and the return engagement of the group. The group was present at the opening show Monday night, and showed their appreciation of the different acts with much applause. A. E. Scafar. Showed the Crown patrons something new in a trained dog, monkey and goat act. This act alone is worth the price of admission. Mr. Scafar's trained animals are the best that I have ever witnessed in a court, and the doubt, will have a large patronage of children this week, to see the many little pranks the trained animals do. Mayweather and Denning. A new act, but that same favorite comedian, Mr. Mayweather. Miss Denning, his partner, is a clever singing and talking soubrette. Mr. Mayweather needs no A comment, as everyone knows he is a comedian that pleases everyone at all times Mayweather and Denning offered a new act that will please most audiences. Robinson and Starks. Two male fun makers, held up their end when it came their time to please the Crown patrons. Some of their talk is a little old, but they way they hand it out, the people laugh as if it was all new. Robinson and Starks made good. Hattie McIntosh. Return in a new act, with Miss Hester Kenton in the act. This act received an applause the moment it hit the stage, and for fully fifteen minutes there sure was something doing. Every song that Miss Mcintosh sang hit the bull's eye of applause, with Hester Kenton did the fun in the dance numbers. Miss Kenton also sang a new song and as usual it went big. This act is well put together and for pleasing an audience it can't be beat. The Crown Garden always seems to have a show well worth the admission. What the people want, the "wizard" knows. By K. C. E. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell Maurice Berkhart Captures at the Grand. Primary among the novelties of the week at the Grand was Maurice Berkhart, who made his rst appearance at the show in 1981, and who if applause is any indication; for in his Hebrew and Italian dialect character witticisms he stopped the show. Others on the bill were Clay Mantley in the show, and James O'Neill in the St. John's carabet review, introducing Ralph Whitehead, a pleasing vocalist, with singing kids, the smallest one being the cleverest; Seaman and Killion, female vocalists, the second being their "Ghost of the Vilolin Man" was well acted. Mons. Herbert as the musical waiter was a novelty. The show was on a last week had Rogers and Wiley, the only colored act, which returned popular. Their act created a goodly amount of interest, and they can come back again. Davis and Allen gave odd acts, Davis and Payne, one a bluesian, waited good; and Burt Jordan was easily a favorite. Shelton Brooks Holds Over at the Monogram The heaviest drawing card of the week at this house was Shelton Brooks, who remained as a holdover. He entered the house with a wavy hair and disrobed he disclosed a stylish light suit. He did his act seated at the piano. The song, "Impossible," was a nice number, but the one about the deacon was not commendable. Green, Pugh and Green re-embarked and that singing and dancing were very entertaining, but the song, "The Ghost of the Violin Man," was not well acted. The Big City Trio made its rst appearance here and made a few more impressions. On the roll, a white team, were also on the bill. All Picture Plays Return to the Pekin. The Pekin theater has been drawing well, considering that the policy of the house changes often. The team is to promote this house whenever there is anything presentable. Illa Vincent threw three men last Friday, before a good sized audience. All photo plays hold the boards this week. Monday night well. It is rumored that a cowork stock company will open at this house. New Picture Stories at the Phoenix. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" was the center of attraction last Monday evening. Other pictures were "Broncho Billy for Sheriff" and "The Fighting Instinct." New Picture Stories at the Merit. "The Celebrated Case" was the big two-reel picture play here last Monday night. "Broncho Without Honor" was also a feature. The Music Halls of the Stroll Take a walk to Twenty-ninth street, near State, and there you will see the most beautiful Lincoln Garden, which huges Lincoln Park, one of the most beautiful dancing. The Elite is at 3030 State street, and the excellent dining room is furnished with a good orchestra. The Pekin buffet is flourishing, and music of the orchestra is a good feature. New Developments in Business Edward Jones' grocery and market is at 3117 State street, where a good stock is on hand. Andrew Watson's poolroom is on 50 West Thirty-first street. Russell's garage is at 12 East Thirty-first street, and Walker & Russell's bowling alley is at 3023 State street. Foreman's ideal restaurant is at 13 East Thirty-first street.

Joe Jordan, the famous composer, is one of the proprietors, and his partner is a man who is popular and has had much experience. The report that Ada Banks had shot Jack Johnson has no foundation. The singer's husband is sueing Johnson for the alienation of his wife's affections. Davis cites that Johnson had taken his wife out riding in his automobile and wants $25-000 damages. Miss Abble Mitchell will make her first appearance this season at the Monogram theater, Monday, November 4. I was frightened by the 4:45 p.m. mint theater, talking to Manager Klein, when a telegram bearing the glorious news arrived, and he showed it to me. HOPE'S PITCHER. (With Apologies to Tim Reeves.) I'm not a Walter Ball—Oh, no! "A pitcher of professional rank." I'm just an amateur, and so I'm called a matrimonial crank. My marriage vow was in a kiss.

My father's read me through and through; Mother may think my wife's a pest; But if of kids I have a few, Then grandma's wrath will be at rest. SYLVESTER RUSSELL AT THE SAVOY THEATER, CHATTANOOGA, TENN. Some of the attractions at the Savoy theater this week, Chattanooga, Tenn., are Mr. Cox of the Cox Trio, who always pleases his hearers.

Aside from that, she is a naturalborn singer and dancer, dong the last week holding her hearers spellbound during the performances. The team of Taylor and Taylor made great music, singing their own song, "Phoebe Green," which we hope will be made very popular and a big hit of the season. The team of Daniels and Daniels opened last week with their own song, "Hits hits direct from Chicago which brought the audience to an uproar when they get through with their act.

Thomas celebrated his first anniversary or Wednesday evening as lessee of the Howard theater. Some happy speeches were made, and a delightful luncheon followed. The bill at the Howard this week is exceptionally strong. The Brown Sisters, "Babe" and Maybelle, opened and won several big hands. We have some new members in business, work over admirably. Balnche Dean, holding over for another week, by request, was warmly received. The Hendersons in a neat sketch, two white magicians in a dress, and a Daley, Martin in some stunning toilets, together with Mr. Casmay, round out one of the best offerings this house has seen this season. The usual "capacity" audience was out Monday evening. Mme. Anita Patti Brown is booked for the 25th of November. Mme. E. Azala Hackley comes to the Metropolitan A. M. E. church November 11, under the direction of Dr. Doggett. Both will draw society audiences. Rufus C. Byars, the Howard's energetic house manager, spent a fortnight recently in New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and Akron, where he worked over "live ones," who are shortly to appear here. Mr. Byars is a born theatrical genius, and it is said that arrangements for his plays should be all soon be in a position to devote his entire time to handling the stars of stageland. Fiddler and Shelton are headed Washingtonwards. They will be given the glad hand" here. The "Sunday Pops" begin at the Howard on the 27th. Elizle S. Hoffman's concert of thirty-one pieces and the bandion Glee Club will be the attractions. Miss Florine May Tyson, who recently married Mr. J. Guy Scott, is to make her home with her husband at Meyersdale, Pa. Mrs. Scott was a popular figure in the Howard's box office for two or more years. Lew Henry is adding more business weekly to the Dudley circuit. Lottie Gee and Eiffle King, the "Ginger Girls," are perennial favorites at the Fairyland, and are winning laurels this season. She is also the one though Misses Gee and King go to Ohio often to see their "folks," they have come to regard Washington as their natural name, and the capital's smart set is lonely with the city. No matter at what house they play, they are assured of a large following, and there is quite a rivalry among the local managers. Mme. Anna Lee Slade, the talented reader and singer, and playright, is filling a number of profitable engagements in the towns of Fairyland. She has some written plans. THE FREEMAN.

TEMPLE THEATER AT NEW ORLEANS OPENS WITH CROWD-ED HOUSE. The Temple theater, New Orleans, opened Sunday, October 6, under the management of the energetic captain, A. Brown. Written doubt by Mr. Brown has proven himself a wonder, by taking the Temple theater, a house known by all professionals to be a "dead one" and going begging for someone to run it. Investing in the place thoroughly cleaned and renovated. Not one person in ten, thought there would be a chance to make it go, but all one has to do is step around the entrance of the building, having hardly and his leg well be: "It is going so soon. As an appreciation of Mr. Brown's efforts, New Orleans' colored population turned out on masse for the opening performance. Three-quarters of an hour before the curtain fell, Mr. Brown said: "At 8:15 not an available space to stand could b ead. As many were turned away as were permitted to go in. The moment the patron entered the house, the Brown idea could be seen. Everything was in order." John Rucker's Musical Comedy Company, headed by the one and only John Rucker, has been called the "Happy Sam From Bam," a musical comedy in three acts, by Irvin C. Miller. The book was well written and the situations too comical to be described. To be sure, the audience, of people scored heavily is putting it mildly, but suffice to say the production far surpassed the most optimistic patron's expectations. Happy Sam, Mr. Rucker excelled himself as a fun-maker, and from the moment he entered until he made his exit, the house was in a conical uproar. To be sure, the audience would be Poor" and "Last Man," taking five and six encores on each. Irvin C. Miller, the straight man, acquired the encores when he met, and was a bright shining star on the horizon. His number, "Molasses Candy," scored a tremendous hit, assisted by John Rucker. The encores were taken to satisfy the Mme. La Belle Glenn stood out strong, and in the rendition of operatic selections, proved herself to be without a peer. She was enclosed a number of times. Others who need favorable mention are Nina Stovall in "My Heart is Yearning," the director of the company; Lila Valeria in "Good Bye, Rose"; Francis J. Mores in "Dearest Memories"; May Valeria, in "The Ragtime Goblin Man"; Beatrice Moore, in "The Wonderful Hits of the show, next to Mr. Rucker, and Mme. Glenn, was Eiseber Gomein, in "The Undertaker Man." She simply set the house in a riot and was forced to take manners. All of the twenty musical numbers were well done. The choruses were well trained and the dance numbers were the equal of any of the big shows. The costumes were beautiful, and altogether "Happy Sam From Bam" was very Cohanesque with lots of speed. Too much praise cannot be given to the book and staged the musical numbers. Capacity business all the week was the fruit from the trees of perfect show and excellent management, and from the apples of excellence, it is quite evident that the Tem- ple the theater is not a "dead one." There was just one way to bring it back to life, and that was the Brown-Rucker way—enable management and high class attraction. SAVOY THEATER, MEMPHIS TENN. This week the public has had the pleasure of seeing a real western drama, entitled "Bel Diamond on the Road to Ruin," by Laura Smith, which is in three acts.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—Al Palzer, the weight heavy prize winner, last week filed suit against Frank S. O'Neill, a member of the State Athletic Commission, which superses boxing contests in this state to succeed him. He will arrange a fight for him with Jack Johnson. When it was found that the bout could not be staged in New York, Palzer said he requested O'Neill to return his money but the athlete commission refused to arrange that the money was paid to him for his services as a lawyer "in some serious trouble Palzer was in" at time. He added that with his known attitude and that of the athletic commission he was permitted to box in New York, Palzer's claim is considered ridiculous. RISE, DECLINE AND FALL? OF JACK, JOHNSON, CHAMP. (By Billy Lewis, Indianapolis.) Never the soaring vulture On his quarry in the desert, On the sick and wounded bison, But and other warriors, For his high aerial look-out, Sees the downward plunge, and follows And a third pursues the second, Coming from the invisible ether, First a spear of a vulture, Filth the air is dark with pinnions. So disasters come not singly; But as if they watched and waited, Scanning one another's motions, When the dire deserts whisper, Follow fellow, whisper flockworm Round their victim, sick and wounded, First a shadow, then a sorrow, Till the air is dark with anguish, Of from Longfellow's "Hlawatha"—The Perhaps I commit a breach of literary propriety when quoting Mr. Longfellow's beautiful characterizations of human problems in applicable forms to Johnson. But I will stick to the lines and I see Jack Johnson, sticking all through them, classic or what not. And he is one of the human family, and as such it is reasonable to include him an an illiterate, but intelligent, out of human experiences. We are inclined to look upon pugilism as a trifling occupation, and in some sense it is, just as other sports are, appealing to the other talented and hardworking beings of the kind, baseball, football and so forth. Those who excel in such pursuits are greatly praised, become noted, claiming attention as men do in the more serious pursuits, winning more attention of a kind and more re- Jack Johnson has won the peculiar fame mentioned, and in a line, that of personal prowess, physical strength and that of hardiness, the highest pursuits of the kind. Physical endurance, the kind of which Johnson is exponent, stands for more than is thought of on the basis of his hardiness in a more significant way than any other kind. It readily suggests a manhood of a nation, embracing a man who has a deep connection of mind including Gibbarians and dreadnaughts. These are but the ultimate, standing, of course, as figures of the last resort, the last arguments of the last century, the most fruitful imagination and according to the world's precedent in the matter, holding war and its preparedness in the highest estimate as a test of a nation's place in the world. One will think here is a great to do over the case of Lucile Cameron and Jack Johnson. But we will understand that if the victories of Johnson had not been so significant, which were so, owing to his hardiness, he would have without the great to do over a Negro prize fighter. More is involved—more that I have cited, and yet more when the truth has been carried through its utmost moments. Under the circumstances it stands to reason that Johnson is not the best loved man, but many a prejudice has been lald down in Johnson's favor. Negro although he be. Many a man has choked down his wrath, and many a man has lured him, nature lined the chorus of praise, whose limitations were universality, accepting the poor consolation that, at any rate, he is a countryman, meaning America vet, and that the amber tumbles the pride of America's greater part. The Rise of Champion Johnson. The Negroes were exalted when the news of Reno spread. Jack Johnson became better known than kings and presidents, as if in demonstration of the things stated—the fighting ability of the some ex-terrorists his best enemies. In more respects he has done things that did not help him in the estimation of his fellow men. Give a Negro as much money as he can spend in the pursuit of enjoyment, make $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 nervous manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has so many worms and nervous men right their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and accurately, has a copy of a have determined to send a copy of the description free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who wishes.

A few many doctors would charge $3.00 to $3.50 for merely writing out a presentation like this—but I send it entirely free. him a physical victor over the white race, praise him without stint. Now watch, see what he will do. Perhaps no such program was worked out. But what the warriors now for the results. All saw the champion rise as day out of night. Ancient kings returning from victorious fields were no hungered with more glorious accomplishments. Gadging loses its functuneal assent. The iron crown of might, of the Knights of Cestus were conceded his without a pretender other than he would enease the estates. Our practice was the freedom of our cities. Young white men of the theaters learned to admire the human tiger, yelling bravos as he put away his opponents in one, two, three order. The heroes of yesterday were not the ones we see the new Richmond in the field as solitary as the chief inhabitant of Olympus. He stirred old England from center to circumference, viling with the king for attention during his coronation. Great men in his playfellows, men of titles and so forth. France and Australia contended for his presence; lesser states had not the hardihood to ask. Johnson had the Midas touch; everything he touched turned to gold. He had gone along self-contained, and he had gone along with $1,000,000 within the course of twenty years. But, alas, "none is so poor as to do him reverence." The Decline. Johnson bucked the unwritten laws of this country. These forbade racial amalgamation as it concerns Negroes and white poor. Others may do so, but they choose. An Englishman may marry a French woman; an American white man may marry a Chinese or a Japanese; Spanishards may marry a Mexican; African Americans of a disturbing kind. With our poor sons of Ham, who live mainly by sufferance, this program of diversity is denied. And I may say right here that the severe injustice no one general desire chance sentiment. The white man's interpolation, his clandestine advent into our affairs from time to time has helped us move in a more desirable God moves in a mysterious way. He knew. I takes the liberty to say, that we would be presented an ever appealing race variety; I take people, people in a sameness—a tie. He knows our race variety would stand no show as ideals in this age, so long, long ago, the thing of infusion began until our race is made a sameness—a tie. Jack Johnson halls from the South, where there is no recognized relations between the races. He was aware of the sentiment against interracial marriages, but he is also aware of the race as by the white people. But given the conditions, what will he do? What did he do? Too well the story of Mrs. Etta, his first wife, is known. She was a woman of great capacity much common, but which finally subsided, leaving Johnson undisturbed with the woman of his choice. Her death; its manner is known, which, with the attitude of a woman familiar, the beginning of a woman impressible, Johnson's favor. Seeing it from the white man's side; this woman, at her death, was the object of a holiday outpouring, by the odds and odds of society change, perhaps—but not in accord with things of propriety. But this is past; over it should drop the fall of oblivion. But was it so? It is the humane in man if he forgets it, or the humane if he forgets it. It is also humane in man if he remembers it if called forth by like circumstances, or even if he tries to remem- The Fall. The courting and winning of Mrs. Etta. If I may call it that, was one of the things the champion did owing to his opus of thousands, one will think, but very likely he failed in the one essential. He did not make her happy. When he would take on a Cameron, things are as they are; her restraintacism; here or there, in the better sense. Her quiet blood, that of Mrs. Etta, still congealed, refused to grow warm 'mild the heat of the sun' and had repudiated his mother's race, as the Negroes viewed it. Thus ill opinions grew as the fabled gourd that matured to its success, in the arena and in his late business venture. This fact entered his problem. He correlated to take on his writer, a girl of nineteen years. He opened up the old wounds. The hidden guns were unmused and never in the world has a man received such a scathing, many other men. But he is not as other men. The public has him in charge; it has given to him; it is jealous; Mr. Johnson walk circumstantly or pay the penalty. By perusing this page carefully it will be discovered that Mr. Johnson has practically gone through the three stages outlined. He has lost his $50,000 fight in Australia. he has been sued for $25,000 in Australia. He has lost his $50,000. He has lost his cafe, which he estimated to be worth $60,000; he has deeded his reality to his mother. NOTES BEARING ON INCIDENT A meeting was held by the Appattattox Club adopted resolutions asking the public not to hold the Negro race response charges made against any individual. . . . It developed that Mrs. Cameron-Falconnet, mother of Lucile Cameron, the white girl who has been mentioned in connection with the case, occupies the cell with her daughter at Rockford, Ill. She was born here after fluence. The girl is held by the Federal officers, she have been unable to furnish $25,000 ball. ```markdown ``` "I do want to say that I am not a slave, and that I have the right to choose who my mate shall be without the dictation of any man. So long as I do not interfere with any man's wife I shall claim to select to the woman of my choice." --- United States government officials insisted that Jack Johnson WAS shot by Ada Banks, a singer in his cafe. The rumor spread throughout the city Friday with a limp since that time, has strengthened that he was attacked. . . . The Banks girl was wanted by the government to appear at the grand jury's investigation today. It was believed that she knows a lot about Jack Johnson's connection with the importation of Lucei Cameron into this city from Minneapolis. --- Johnson loses heavyweight championship fight which was to have been pulled off in Australia. He manifested little concern over the loss of the $50,000 fight money he received from his relationship with the city Cameron, a nineteen-year-old white girl. he said he did not care whether he fought in Australia or not, as there were other places where a goat stake could be bought. He also appealed to blm he could fight there, and for that reason, why should he worry? Miss Cameron was confined in the Ox- terian hospital and she was to release her on a writ of habeas corpus. A subpena has been issued for a West Side manufacturer, who is said by the Federal officers to have introduced the Cameron girl to the Negro champion THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER pugilist in the latter's cafe on West Thirty-first street. . . . Johnson had tried twice to obtain Miss Cameron's release and, though he had $25,000 in cash to put up with the Federal authorities, he failed. McIntosh wired Kelley to drop all negotiations with Johnson, explaining that Johnson's role as the alleged abductor of Lucile Cameron has so angered him that he would make the black pugilist a doubtful attraction, even though he is the champion of the world. McIntosh's action was an intense surprise. Followers of the Chicago the Australian is one promoter who always has been disposed to scoff at the "color line." He has been quoted often as saying that the color of a man's skin doesn't affect his JOHNSON DEEDS HIS PROPERTY TO HIS MOTHER — ACTION FOLLOWS DAMAGE SUIT. CHICAGO—"John Arthur Johnson, a widower, a revenue, filed by the Negro pugilist today with the county recorder, in which he transfers ownership by mail to 3334 South Wabash avenue, to his mother, Mrs. Tiny Johnson. Mrs. Johnson lives in the property and common report has had it that Johnson bought and gave it to her after his fight with Jeffries, but the deed was not filed until today for $25,000 for the affection of the alleered alienation of the affections of Mrs. Banks, an entertainer in his cafe. The transfer of his property following this suit, caused comment today. JACK JOHNSON HIDES; FEARS FOR HIS LIFE Authorities Declare Widespread Race War Would Follow Threatened Assassination. CHICAGO—Following his experiences when a mob besieged him in the First National bank and forced him to flee through a side entrance, Jack Johnson remained secure in his home and was rescued. He received many warnings of assassination by letter, telephone and personal messengers, and now realizes that his life is not safe any moment in this city. He is an unconcealed fact that plains and rural areas are as to some method whereby he can be killed, and his friends are urging him to forfeit his $1,500 bond to the government and get out of the country. Authorities that his assassination or attempted assassination would precipitate an ugly war race, not alone in this city, but in other localities. Whites and Negroes in many urban areas have scores dating back to the Reno battle. Feeling Grows Stronger. Mayor Harrison said he was seeking some legal excuse whereby he could close Johnson's cafe and drive him from the city to the Negroes is growing in intensity all the time, and trouble is being expected on the street cars and other places where the authorities might start something that the authorities might have difficulty in handling. The fact that Johnson could not be seen at any time during the day lends credibility to the leg about 2 o'clock Saturday morning during an alteration in his cafe. The rumor quickly spread over the city that he had been arrested and that he was at the bank in the afternoon dispelled the rumor. Today, however, it was said that he was shot, presumably by a Negress and that calls for a physician issued the details to telephone operators. JOHNSON FACES $25,000 SUIT. Charles Johnson, Recently Arrested on Pugilist's Complaint, Aids Grand Jury—Dastard Alleges Wife, as Well as Cameron Girl Was Victim in Cafe. CHICAGO—Charles Johnson, brother of Jack Johnson, Negro pugilist, today was arrested in his room and told all he knew regarding the relations of his brother and the white girl, Lucile Cameron, of Minneapolis, who recently was taken from the Negro chambers by her mother. Charles Johnson recently was arrested at the instigation of the champion on a charge of theft. Young Johnson is said to have given the champion her mother. His story is said to be almost of equal importance with that told yesterday by the Cameron girl. As he entered the jury room young Johnson had been declared "it is the hand of God. The Lord has taken this fellow in hand and is directing justice at him." He was not recalled before the grand jury today, as had been expected. Neither was her mother recalled. It is said, however that Lucile will be one of the main witnesses Monday when The younger Johnson, who is about half as big as the champion, seemed overjoyed at the opportunity of telling his jury. He was in the jury room for nearly two years. A sister of the champion also appeared at the jury, but she was not called before the jury. The only other witness to testify was Joseph Levy, the champion's white secre- Girl Makes Peace. Mrs. Cameron-Falconet, mother of the Cameron girl, today said there had been a complete reconciliation between her daughter and herself and that the latter was willing to disclose her entire story. A development of the case was the suit nled against Johnson by Willard bastard, mulatto, for his wife's affair for the ally of the former. The wife is said to have been a singer in the champion's cafe and, it is reported, she was the woman who, Federal authorities declared, shot Jackson in the foot. Johnson will retire from the salon business in Chicago November 1, according to an announcement by city officials. The license under which he has been operative is to use the brewery. Johnson's control is to use it express November 1 and will not be renewed. THE EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Emancipation Day was more generally observed this year than it has been in the past few years. The manner of celebration, however, was in no way uniform, as it should be if the dignity of the occasion is to be kept up. In some instances politics had to do with observing the day, in others private gain, or profit, otherwise actuated, thus calling for various ways of keeping in mind the great Lincoln event. It stands to reason that in the variety the event would suffer some, lapsing from the preconceived notions of such affairs by those who understand and appreciate them. Many of the race feel that it is just as well not to keep alive memories of a past that contributes nothing of respect or honor to the race. And this is but human nature. Men are not given to referring to the depths from which they come, except on occasions when they wish to show their ascent in the scale of man, which is none too often. But notwithstanding this, our race would be ungrateful if it failed to show appreciation for the great Lincoln act in some way. The act of liberation was so signal, so unusual, that it would be no less than an in- suit to the memory of the emancipator if it were not noted from time to time. The too demonstrative could be avoided, and thus keep in touch with the feeling of the many who would rather not refer to slavery days. And there are many who know nothing of them any more than do the white people of similar age. They think of them as they were—days of degradation. But those days had their ending, and in such a tragic way as if answering those unrequited years of toll and moll. The Emancipation Proclamation was the great denouement—the beginning of the end of that great "play" with its introduction at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, the finale of which was at Appomattox Court House in 1865. The endatting was sealed with the life of the Emancipator, as if the thing had been ordained from the beginning. How greatly are we linked with one of the most glorious of mankind! Surely we will not fail in remembrance of one who to all purposes fought and died for us—greater love hath no man than this. We should be careful that our tributes are the spontaneous outflow of grateful hearts making manifest in some form of which we know he would be well pleased if he could have voice in the matter. What would Abraham Lincoln have us do? Judging by the quality of the man, he would have us repair to our churches, or to our assembly halls, there to have read the Emancipation Proclamation among other things in keeping. Perhaps he would have this done at a regular church service, thereby keeping the observance freed of things that do not concern it, and thus preserving its sacred nearness. He would have humble, simple ceremonies where all were touched and imbued with the spirit of the occasion, and feeling to say, "Did not our hearts burn within us?" We were glad to have been there." Unless we think of Mr. Lincoln in some such way, he is not getting our best love and thankfulness. Those who think little of great demonstrations that call up so vividly the past will not be able to find objection to a quiet recognition and honoring of one whose memory is linked with the world because of us.
