NUMBER 47 WASHINGTON SPEAKS DISCUSSES THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE NEGRO 'IS THE NEGRO NAVING A FAIR CHANCE' Is the Title of a Strong Article by Dr. Washington, Recently Published in the Century Magazine, in Which he Makes a Noble Plea for His Race. "The particular discrimination against which the colored people in the United States most complain, are in the matters of education, travel and general disfri- ment of the public, are victims of lynch law. In his recent article, "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" published in the Century Magazine, Union Journal, in 1920, the Negro in Washington speaks out fearlessly in condenation of the injustices to which members of his race are subjected. Some extracts from his paper follow: Unequal Laws the Cause of Racial Trouble in America. Reduced to its lowest terms, the fact is that a large part of our racial troubles in the United States grow out of some people who will make and keep one man superior to another, whether he is intrinsically superior or not. No greater harm can be done by a person who feels that a statutory enactment can keep them superior to anybody else. No greater injury can be done to any youth than to at him feel that because of his color, he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts. The Greatest Source of Dissatisfaction to the Negro in the South. One thing that many Negroes feel keenly, although they do not say much about it to either black or white people, is the condition of railway travel in the South. Now and then the Negro is compelled to work in the railroad areas almost the entire great business concerns in the South that pursue the policy of taking just as much money from the black traveler as from the white traveler without feeling that they ought, as a matter of justice and fair play, not as a matter of justice and fair play, for man for his money just as much as another man. The failure of most of the roads to do justice to the Negro when he travels is the source of more bitterness than any one other matter of which I have knowledge. It is strange that the wide-awake men who control the railroads in the southern States do not see that, as a matter of lodars and cents, to say nothing of any higher consideration, they ought to encourage, not discourage, the patronage of the railroad in the South. This is a traveling population that is larger than the whole population of Canada, and yet, with here and there an exception, railway managers do not seem to have there any business advantage to them given the large portion of the population fair treatment. What embitterers the colored people in regard to railroad travel, I repeat, is not the color of the clothing and accommodations. The colored people are given half of a baggage car or half of a smoking car. In most cases, the Negro is poorly lighted, and, above all, rarely kept clean; and then, to add to the colored man's discomfort, no matter how many colored women may be in the colored end of the car, no clear window located these colored women may be, this car is made the headquarters for the news, he spreads out his papers, his magazines, and so forth. White men are constantly coming into the car and almost invariably light cigars while in the colored coach, so they are virtually a smoking car. On some of the roads colored men and colored women are forced to use the same room. This is not true of every southern room. It is not true of every ways in the South, notably the Western Railway of Alabama, which make a special effort to see that the colored people given every facility in the day coaches to the train. Mr. Loving knows people show in many ways that they appreciate this consideration. Here is an experience of R. S. Loving, a former locomotive driver, known for his good work. He is neither a bitter nor a foolish man. He will venture say that there is not a single white man in Austin, Texas, where he lives, who will say that he is a conservative, something but a conservative, sensible man. "At one time," he said to me, in speaking of his traveling experiences, "I got out of a station almost starved. I begged the train to pull me in, and I lined in a paper and hand it out of the window. He refused, and I had to ride a hundred miles farther before I could get." "At another time I went to a station to purchase my ticket. I was there thirty minutes before the ticket office was opened. It did finally open I at once appeared. I was served a complimentary served the white people at one window I remained there beating the other until the train pulled out. I was put on a jump aboard the train without my ticket. I was not impressed. Considering the temper of the people, the separate coach law may be the best plan for the South, but the statement that the two races have equal accommodation, that the weather order matters, but I cannot have a chair or a lavatory and rarely a through car. I must at all times of night, and in all kinds of weather, order another dirty coat to make my connections. I do not ask to ride with white people. I ask for equal accommodations for the same money." Lack of a "Square Deal" in Education in the South. This is no mere rhetorical statement. If a Negro steals or commits a murderous assault of some kind, he will be tried and imprisoned, and then, if he is classed as a slave at the rate of $46 per month for twelve months in the year. The Negro who does not commit a crime, but prepares himself to serve the State as a first-grade teacher, or to serve the average white boy or girl, and perhaps $30 per month for a period of not more than six months. Taking the southern States as a whole, about $10.25 per capita is spent in educating the average white boy or girl, and perhaps $30 per capita in educating the average black child. Let me take as an illustration one of our southern farming communities, where the colored population largely outnumber the white. In Wilcox county, Alabama, there are nearly 11,000 black children, and about $82,500 Negro children in educating the average black child. Last year $3,569 of the public school fund went for the education of the black children in that county, and $30,294 for the education of the white children, this notwithstanding that there are five times more Negro children in other words, there was expended for the education of each Negro child in Wilcox county thirty-three cents, and for each of them $5.65 in the six counties surrounding and working with Negro children there are 55,000 Negro children of school age. There was appropriated for their education last year from the public school fund $40,000, while for the 19,622 white children in the same counties there was appropriated from the public fund $193,000. Every one knows that a public library in a city tends to make better citizens, keeping people usefully employed instead of spending their time in idleness or in being too far, as is true of most of the large cities in the country to take the Negro's money in the form of taxes to support a public library, and then to make no provision for the Negro using any library? I am glad to say that the Negro is an instance, Louisville, Ky, and Jacksonville, Fla., provided library facilities for their black cities or are preparing to do so. The Negro Pays More than His Share to Education in the South. In his annual report for 1900, Mr. Sheats made a thorough analysis of the sources of the school fund in Florida, and of the way in which it is distributed because of Negro schools in Negro taxa or from a division of other funds to which Negroes contribute indirectly with the cost of Negro schools, including their pro rata for administration expenses, was $19,467. This is the fair calculation. Mr. Sheats calculated "the schools Negro are not only no burden on the white citizens, but $4,525 for Negro schools contributed from other sources was in some way diverted to the white schools. A further cost for the Negro schools is due to fact that the Negro schools collected from Negroes by county officials." Convict Labor a Great Evil in the South. In Alabama eighty-five per cent. of the convicts are Negroes. The official records show that last year Alabama had turned into its treasury $1,085,854 from the labor of its convicts. At least $900.00 were from Negroes, outliers who were for the most part rented to the coal-mining companies in the northern part of the State. The result of this policy has been to get as many able-bodied convicts as possible into the mines, so that the profits increase. Profits. Alabama, of course, not the only State that has yielded to the temptation to make money out of human misery. The point is, however, that while $300,000 is turned into the State treasury from Negroes, the majority of Negroes, Negroes, there came out of the State treasury, to pay Negro (teachers, only $357,585. The Ballot to the Intelligent Negro. No influence could ever make me desire to go back to the conditions of Reconstruction days to secure the ballot for the Negro. that was an order of things that was not necessary for a white man. In most southern States it is absolutely necessary that some restriction be placed upon the use of the ballot. The fact that the ballot was brought about have been widely advertised, and there is no necessity for me discussing them here. At the time these measures were passed he stated that, "The Negro is supposed to be urged in regard to the use of the ballot, it should INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1912. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. apply with absolute impartiality to both races. This policy I advocate again in justice to both white man and Negro. Let me illustrate what I mean. In a county board of elections, the county board had charge of registering those who were to be voters, a colored man, a graduate of Harvard University, who had long been a resident of the county, a quiet, unassuming man, went before the county board to register the ground that he was not intelligent enough to vote. Before this colored man left the room, a white man came in who was intoxicated that he could scarcely tell where he lived. This white man was a gentleman, a gentleman white men who had taken an oath to deal justly in administering the law. The Crime of Lynching. A lynching-bee usually has its origin in a report that some crime has been committed. The story flies from mouth to mouth. The victim is often the time to get the facts. A mob forms and fills itself with bad whiskey. Someone is captured. In case rape is charged, the culprit is frequently taken before the victim. Then comes more excitement and the excitement of the moment, it is but natural that the victim should say that the first person brought before her is guilty. Then comes more excitement and when the victim is guilty, the shooting, or the burning of the body. Not a few cases have occurred where white people have blackened their faces and committed a crime, knowing that they are not guilty, but mobbed for it. In other cases it is known that where Negroes have committed crimes, innocent men have been lynched and the gullies have escaped and gone to jail. Within the last twelve months there have been seventy-one cases of lynching, nearly all of colored people. Only seventen were charged with the crime of lynching, and eighty were colored people in the South do not feel that innocence offers them security against lynching. They do feel, however, that the lynching habit tends to give greater power to the white people. When ten millions of people feel that they are not sure of being fairly tried in a court of justice, when charged with crime, is it not natural that they feel that they have not had a fair chance? I am aware of the fact that in what I have said in regard to the hardships of the Negro race, I have open to the criticism of doing what I have all my life condemned and everywhere I have been accused of this phasis on matters in which the Negro race in America has been badly treated, and thereby overlooking those matters in which the Negro race is America than anywhere else in the world. MERIDIAN. MISS. Rev. Dr. T. L. Jordan, one of the best-known Baptist preachers in the South, preached an entire sermon at a New Hope church on June 10, to a large audience. Rev. Jordan is one of the best-known Baptist preachers in Mississippi and east Ala. He was known for securing the release of a man in the penitentiary. It is not believed by a great many that the man is guilty of the crime he committed. Jordan stated that if he succeeded in obtaining the release of this man it was the fifth successful attempt he had made in releasing men of the prison mines. This makes this release a man of God.

NOT AFRAID OF WILSON NEGROES ACCEPT VERDICT OF PEOPLE WITH CALMNESS. Republican Reorganization is Planned with Loyalists as Leaders—Casey to be Inaugural Chairman —Dr. Curtis" "First Aid' Lesson. By. R. W. Thompson. WASHINGTON, D. C. Special. The political leaders of both races are accepting with philosophical calmness the American people as to the presidency. The American-led campaign of many months, is a welcome relief to all who have taken part in the active work of the contest or who have been ill, willly, to read column after column about it. The Negro leaders are outwardly unperturbed. The outcome was not unlooked for. The Republican ranks foreshadowed disaster. The size of the Wilson victory is its sole surprise. The colored voters contributed to the demolition of the city, and they did not really intend. In the state where the Negro vote counted, a large conglomerate of colored men voted for Roosevelt, with which they had strength and decreased the vote for Taft, being, in effect, half a vote for Wilson in the first place. But bygone are now bygones. It is to the third must now look for inspiration and hope. The tendency of the Negro is invariably optimistic. At first there was a scare over what the Democrats might do to attend President-elect Wilson's colored brother. President-elect Wilson colored closely, but nothing was found to indicate any bias against the Negro. His letter to Bishop Alexander Walters, where he hearty sympathy with the struggles of the black people, luctual and industrial uplift, was read with consuming interest, and a feeling of re-assurance succeeded the momentary despair. The hopeful ones point out that the Negro is not the only person understood better by the peculiar needs of the race that had lived side by side with them since the landing of the slave ship at Jamestown in the long ago. The declaration is freely written. The white men care a rap about the "politics" man if he is industrious and capable, clean and honest in his dealings in business, and faithful in rendering the service in the work. It is believed that the "cracker" crowd will achieve great amount of influence with the new chief executive, and that the narrow views of the Vardaman-Tillman, Jeff Davis-Hefele, and the African-American business prosperity of the nation and confidence in the ability of the Negro to stand up with his fellows on every proposition that concerns Aeamerican citizens, the business prosperity of the timorous and allay the fears of their brethren burdened with a "chicken-heart." No Adverse Legislation Expected. Office Holding and the Civil Services. "Of course," continued the relator, "there will be many changes in the personnel of the officials who must assist Pressmen in the administration of the government. The higher-salaried Negroes, who have to do with politics and policies, may be removed; but, I do not look for them to go with a rush, nor in a bunch. Whites and blacks in the larger positions will be prepared for the inevitable, but they will not go, any more than Taft or the Tafters made all the Democratic chieftains go out. The minority party is always entitled to proportionate recognition in the offices, and this unwritten law will, no doubt, be treated with due respect. Candidates, very often, will have everything in sight, but they will not be permitted to raid the public service to the detriment of safe administration of the people's trust. Whether Negroes who supported Mr. Wilson will be accorded all the same rights as Negroes, remains to be seen. Much depends upon whether the Democratic party will aim to reward its followers on the basis of what they accomplished this year for the party, or will grant a heavy bonus for investment for the future. Arguments pro and con, will be advanced on this vital point. "I look for the civil service laws to be religiously enforced with reference to the routine positions of the civil service holding places that pay from $660 to $1,800 per annum, protected by the civil service regulations, will be materially disturbed. These men will go on to prominence will make it their business to go to the White House when they have anything of importance to say, telling them what they think they should things they think he ought to know touching the welfare of the colored people. Talking to him directly will go farther toward winning his confidence and favor in the civil service. Evidence will be捷 confidence on both sides. "We do not expect the calamities to happen that many fear. Neither do we expect the millennium to come. That happy event would not have been possible had we had a Democrat. We shall have jim-crow cars, segregation in some form, distranchise and sporadic outbreaks of the lynching fever for some time yet, no matter who is elected President. We hope, however, for better things because a Democrat is to occupy the White House for the next four years. God is not dead." This is a fair sample of the views that are held here by the optimistic Negroes. Republicans Planning Reorganization. President Taft and Chairman Hillex have no discouraging view of the situation. They argue that the Democrats have been beaten just as signally as the Republicans have been this year. They came back in 1821 and 1822, but since 1860 they have been able to make us fight for all we carried off. The Republican party is a militant army and President Taft believes it can "come back," but it doesn't. They believe the things the people want done. The voters were sorry they left Benjamin Harrison at home in 1832. The Republicans think the country will yet be sorry that they did not give a vote of confidence this year. The Negro Republicans are casting about to see just where they are. The Bull Moosers captured a lot of the old African-American women who were little short of fanatical. Will they remain in the ranks of the Progressives, or will they see the wisdom of returning to their old allegiance in the G. O. P.? They will be able to all schemes for the reorganization of the Republican line. It is given out that the administration will undertake the work of rehabilitation as soon as the matter can be endorsed end of the business will be entrusted to of undoubtedly loyalty like Register J. C. Napler, of Tennessee, and Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, and throughout the campaign for the reelection of President Taft. There were many others, of course, who did herole work, and they will be given their place in the campaign. No questionable characters can be let in on the firing line. While the Bull Moosers during the campaign were measurably united. It is a deplorable fact that the colony was so unpopular, one of which fought the other at times with more venom than they fought the common enemy. This kind of thing will not do, and the managers do not want to do it. They were some humorous and some pathetic features connected with the recent campaign, but it is useless now to dwell upon either the victory of the fight or the victory of Chicago is written into history. Let it rest there.

Lawyer Cosey Inaugural Committee Chairman. Lawyer A. B. Cosey, of Newark, N. J., has been designated by National Chairman W. F.

The board of these functions for the past sixteen years, will be vice-chairman, and will have general supervision of many of the purely local features of this year's affair. The board of these functions and it is believed that "inauguration week" of 1913 will not be less brilliant than in former years, even though the central figure happens to be a Democrat. It is understood that the Assemblies of the Monacan Club have been abandoned for the present season, on account of the multiplicity of social functions announced by other organizations and many individuals. 2 A Group of Scientific Seers and Yogies Have At Last Perfected a Simple Method 11 Enables Anyone To Control the Thoughts and Acts of Others Our wonderful book, describing these remarkable wonders will be sent FREE TO ALL WHO WRITE AT ONCE FREE TO ALL WHO WRITE AT ONCE The Occult School of Science has appropriated a large fund for the FREE distribution of a remarkable book entitled— MYSTERIES OF OCCULT WONDERS REVEALED OR MAN'S FUTURE FORETOLD This book lays bare many astounding facts concerning the practice of the world's greatest meers and psychics, and explains a wonderful system for the development of personal magnetism and telepathic powers.

His campaign book, dealing with facts and figures of particular interest to colored voters, was a magnificent collection of arguments in support of the party's claim to the Negro's allegiance. It had a wide circulation and did a mint of good in all the States where the Negro vote was a factor. It is to Mr. Adams' credit that he not only spent several hundred dollars of his own money in promotion of Republican success, but he got out one of the large editions of the campaign book at his own expense to supplement the other editions printed by the Republican national committee. Mr. Adams believes the Negro should be a positive asset of value to his party, not a load to be carried. HENDERSON, KY., HAPPENINGS. (By LaVetta Jones, 631 Sixth St. Special to the Freeman. Rev. W.

For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself.

Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, as the Pennsylvania member of the executive committee, will have official charge of the local arrangements for the meeting of the Press Association in Philadelphia the third Tuesday in August, 1913. He is the right man in the right place, and will have the active co-operation of such forces as Chris J. Perry, Rev. C. L. P. Talafera, A. P. Caldwell, J. E. McGirt, James Samuel Stemons, G. Grant Williams and others of the press, besides the ministry, professional and business men of the Quaker City. The convention will be an "eye opener." * * * "Clean Journalism!" That's the slogan. * * * "Do special editions pay?" is another of the important problems that are scheduled for discussion by the N. N. P. A. The metropolitan dailies will find it to their advantage to employ a competent colored newsgatherer to cover the interests that appeal particularly to the colored people. Important meetings, significant sermons, business innovations and educational events occurring among our people seldom receive proper attention unless a broadgauged cooled reporter is detailed to take care of them. It is regrettable that the crimes of the Negro are fully reported, for the dailies invariably place an energetic man on the police court and precinct station assignments. If the Negro is to get the benefit of a wholesome sentiment toward us on the part of the whites, something must be done to set forth our creditable achievements as prominently as our crimes are being exploited today. A good colored reporter on the local white paper will not injure the colored weekly. It will tend to stimulate newspaper reading all along the line, and our papers will share in the money that is spent for information. The Fourth Estate, of New York City, says: "New Orleans is soon to become the home of a Negro daily paper. The Daily Spokesman is to be its title, and the first issue is scheduled for appearance in November. The Spokesman is to be published, managed and printed entirely by Negroes, with its offices and plant in a Negro office building. The capital to start it has also been furnished entirely by the people of the colored race. The plans so far agreed upon are for an edition every afternoon and on Sunday morning. The week-day issue is to start with eight pages, and the MADAM WILLIAM H. BRICE, Prop. MISS PEARL U. HALL, Agent, 106 Rose St., Lexington, Ky. Sunday paper is to have twelve pages. The management is guaranteeing a circulation of 5,000 for the first issues, and expects to have 20,000 soon. Texas claims to have more colored newspapers than any other state in the Union. Ask W. E. King, Charles N. Love, W. A. Peete or some of the other "live wires" of that region. The Georgia Baptist, published at Augusta, Ga., by the veteran Dr. W. J. White, rounded out its thirty-second year a few days ago. The Georgia Baptist is one of the standard papers of the country, and its sage utterances on race issues are always instructive and interesting. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, editor of the Illinois Chronicle, Chicago, is now scheduled for a lecture on "Fifty Years After" at the Calvary Baptist church, Louisville, Ky. Mr. Simmons is establishing himself as a journalistic fixture in the Windy City. His occasional lecture tours will be distinctive treats for the intellectual people of the Middle West. At the urgent request of a number of its admirers in the state of Kentucky and elsewhere, Editor W. H. Steward, of the American Baptist, of Louisville, Kv., has set apart the first Sunday in December as "American Baptist Day," on which the Baptists and other friends of the paper may join in a rally for new subscribers and to stimulate the interest of the denomination in the official organ that has upheld the faith in such industrious and productive fashion for the thirty-four years past. Editor Steward should easily add 1,000 new names to his subscription list on "American Baptist Day" if the pastor he has helped will rally to his assistance as they should. Scott C. Bone, editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligence, gives out a few real timely thoughts on "The Journalist of Today," that we reproduce here and commend to the prayerful attention of every Negro newspaper man in the country. Addressing the students of a prominent university, asserting first that academic training must have a place in the newspaper world, and urging that an all-round knowledge of the business be obtained by those who attempt to enter it, Mr. Bone said: "A man must have character to do newspaper work satisfactorily. Honesty, perseverance and dependability are absolute essential characteristics of the successful newspaper man. The newspaper, like the man, must have character, and that character is determined largely by the staff it employs. The higher the ideals of a newspaper, the higher its standards and the higher the quality of those who make it, the greater its influence with the people. The newspapers today that really deserve success are succeeding." Cyrus Field Adams, who has just retired from the post of assistant registrar of the treasury, is an experienced newspaper man, and may return to the harness actively in a few months. With his brother, John Quincy Adams, he is join owner of The Appeal, published simultaneously at St. Paul and Chicago. Many years ago the Adams Brothers ran at Louisville, Ky., a very bright paper known as The Bulletin, on which a score or more of successful young journalists won their spurs. COVINGTON (TENN.) NEWS.

Good many of us compromised for a goose, chicken, duck, or rabbit, and felt pretty thankful for them. It was reported that Dr. Crum, the United States Minister to Liberia, was ill with African fever and not expected to recover. Cary B. Lewis, the Chicago newspaper correspondent, ate his Thanksgiving turkey in Louisville, Ky. He took in Indianapolis in transit. Francis H. Warren, a prominent lawyer of Detroit, Mich., has announced that he would seek the appointment as Minister to Liberia from President-elect Wilson. Mr. Warren is said to be competent for the position by his many friends. The Bee has no regrets. It too followed its chief and went to its death, but to rise again. It is the Constitution that we saved, although we were defeated.—The Bee, Washington, D. C. In other words, Brother Chase, it did not die in vain. It looks as if William Jennings Bryan will be on the job as Secretary of State. Well, he was sound enough to know a good thing when he saw it. Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Bryan's one political crotchet has given way in the interest of a better thing. And there were some who thought the water they were drinking came from the canal. It happened that those bodies were found in the canal just about the time the water works company found it necessary to draw on their unused wells. Thereby hung a tale, some thought. The Y. M. C. A. of this city had great reason for being thankful. A beautiful structure is rearing up, spacious and commending. In the campaign now on the membership has largely increased. Something above four hundred and fifty names are now on its rolls, insuring a success in all ways possible to such institutions. It is said that ignorance and race prejudice defeated Edward D. Green for the legislature of Illinois. The Bull Moose movement did the work. Many of the colored brothers thought to be with Roosevelt when he came into his own. Of the 7,000 colored voters in Mr. Green's district in Chicago, he received 4,681 votes. Evidently some of them became mixed, as it happened in one of the battles between the Turks and the Bulgars. The Turks in their confusion, shot down one another. Illinois is without a colored representative in its legislature for the first time in years. What will the harvest be? Respectfully dedicated to the Negro contingent of the Democratic party. It is said that most of the big jobs now held by Negroes will go to white men at the "disbursement of the proceeds." It's just an opinion ventured, we dare say. Mr. Wilson, like all of the recent Presidents, will have nothing to give out along this line until he works down to it. However, it is likely that there will not be so many brunettes in Washington official life as there are at present. FORCED OUT OF HIS BUSINESS. J. T. Coleman, of Columbus, Ga., a colored man who was the proprietor of a theater, was recently forced out of business, it being charged that he was running a disorderly house. He made a vigorous denial. White people who lived in front of his place, and who were his patrons, testified that the theater was conducted in an orderly way. Those living in the rear made the complaint. A local paper, white, had this: "Tom Coleman, a Negro man, was bound over to the city court by the recorder on Saturday on a charge of keeping a disorderly house. Coleman has been running a moving picture show for Negroes on First avenue, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets for quite awhile and there have been a number of complaints against the noisy conduct of the Negroes, which resulted in Coleman being held for the higher court under a bond of $100." Our purpose in calling attention to this case is to warn proprietors against what may be considered boisterous conduct in and around their places. At this distance we do not see it clear to take sides in the matter. The white neighbors don't agree in their testimony, but it appears that in the instance those against Mr. Coleman, were more than those for him, and this is reasonable enough in view of race feeling, a little of which enters into cases of the kind. It may be that Mr. Coleman has been imposed on. But as said before, we are not prepared to say whether this is true. Sometimes our people are not as thoughtful along the line of conduct as they might be. Not that they are vicious and quarrelsome; they are, in the most part, of good humor, but by nature noisy. They are unconscious of offense, consequently imposing when they least expect it. The object is not to make a case against Mr. Coleman. He insists that his house was well conducted and that there was no reason for the complaints. As we view it, we will have to conduct our places "above suspicion." Really we should conduct them just as those are conducted by other persons. Do we always do this? The gatherings seen about the doors of our theaters are often larger than they should be, not to speak of the demonstrations often seen. If the managers would see to it that these crowds were kept down it would be in the interest of their success in the long run. There would then be no room for complaints of the kind mentioned here. We may insist that Mr. Coleman was all right as he insists, but it is seen what was done to him. Some prejudice to be sure. But the way to disarm it is to be as careful as possible so that if men still go against us it will be plainly persecution and not prosecution. And persecution will fall of its own weight, its own unjustness in the end. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again. The eternal years of God are hers PRESIDENT W. H. TAFT. The far-away individual, reading of the crushing defeat of President Taft for re-election, would think that he had been a failure. Far from it. Mr. Taft has made a most excellent impression as an executive. He lacks the Roosevelt hurrah, and we may say the eclat, that lent additional value, seemingly, to whatever he did. Indeed Mr. Taft has been so quiet in what he has done that history will have to be consulted in order to know him best. He has been every inch a President, proving his great regard for the country, even to the few things which have been set down against him as failures. Failing in trying to serve is serving yet. The New York World, speaking in a similar strain, had this to say recently: "As President, Mr. Taft will leave a record of many triumphs, and a single, conspicuous and fatal blunder. He has been a constitutional magistrate, governing by law and not by caprice. He has given us the greatest Supreme Court since the days of Marshall and Story. He was the first President to enforce the criminal clauses of the Sherman law. He has urged the reform of judicial procedure. He has powerfully supported the cause of arbitration. He has worked for recirocity. He has suppressed jigismol. He has promoted civil-service reform. He brought about the corporation tax. He has had regard for economy." Much more was said in praise of Mr. Taft. The above will bear out our effort to show that he did not deserve the treatment he received on election day, nor was it intended that it should be meant that way. WEST POINT, KY.

The Eastern Trio had to cancel their engagement at the Lincoln Theater, New York, on account of the illness of Miss E. Jones, who was unfortunately, was taken sick two days before their engagement. However they are booked to appear at the Crescent Theater as soon as Miss White is able to appear. From the reports of the Black Patty show, I learn that they are more than holding their own through the South, as the show this season is better than ever, with Miss Minnie Sissisteria Jones at her best, surrounded by a large company is bound to score a success everywhere they appear. They will head north after a few more weeks. Billy E. Jones scored one of the biggest hits in a long time at Jones' Theater, Brooklyn, when he introduced his song "That Devilish Rag" and "Somebody Else Is Getting It." With a good singing and compelling song, theailing his song, is the keynote to his success. -Abstracted from the Brooklyn Eagle. Dan Michaels, after an illness of a few weeks, is unable to perform the team of Michaels and Michaels will open on the Loew's Circuit for a few weeks. Sims and Thompson are this weeks at the Majestic Theater, N. H., on the United time. Week of December 2 at the Imperial Theater, South Boston, Mass.

They scored a distinct hit. They were just organized last week. They were rewarded with a return engagement. John C. Payne, the double voice concert singer, en route with the California Quartette, is creating a big impression with his feature numbers, and his song, "My Heart Felt to win an applause wherever he appears." LINGOLN THEATER, NEW YORK CITY. (By the Old Owl.) Monday's show opened with the Pelican Company. This act has the goods and knows how to deliver them. Bertha Wheeler scored heavily. Shelly and Baker are very clever, and kept the house in an unroar from start to finish. Isaac Hatch is also very clever and a favorite at this house. Manager Elmore knows just what his audience wants, and they know they're going to see a real show when they attend the Lincoln Theater. The Family Theater, Thirty-seventh and Eighth avenue, opened Monday's show with Buster and Rockie, who were a riot, stopping the show each performance. John Hatch and Smith caught them nice. Keyes and Greenley were another knockout. This house books independently, and handles the best acts that can be secured. Williams and Stevens are this week at the Grand Theater, Brooklyn, N. Y. The Moores, John and Lila, also Barrels, Senora, after a successful sixteen weeks at the New York, left for the Dunbarton Theater, Columbus, O., opening there Monday.

Mr. Coleman is considerably more comfortable than his adjoining directly in front of the theater, employees and regular patrons testified before the record to the fact that there has never been a disruption in the disorder either in or about the place since it was first opened. Yet I was bound over to the City Court, as these, my witnesses, were Negroes or poor white people. At the City Court I see the odds of moving out of the neighborhood or close the place within four weeks. Not feeling justified in the expense of moving elsewhere, I closed the theater last Thursday, having had McDaniel and McDaniel and Miss Rachel Gaillard with me under a four weeks' engagement, only two weeks of which had expired. I will continue to dispose of your valuation publication until I can dispose of the genial clime, which will be as soon as I can dispose of three small pieces of real estate, without a very great sacrifice."

The first sister team since the days of Johnson and Ropper that caught the audience from the go and made good all the way.

They are also more 'more' more Brown Sisters in colored vaudeville. Kelly and Kelly with Archie Jones Offered a trio act that can't be beat for laughing purposes. Mr. Kelly, as every one knows, is some comedian and knows how to make the people laugh. Miss Kelly knows how to handle a talking part and with her stage appearance, brightens an act up like it should be. Mr. Archie Jones, the old-knowledge character opposite though you, is far the best we have in the colored show business. Kelly and Kelly and Archie Jones have the whole of Indianapolis talking about the fun they hand out. Agie Tanzel. That favorite singer, stopped the show and showed how to show-going public of Indianapolis. Hen winsome ways and knowing how to put a song over has caught the Crown audience. Billy Mills.

Field's Greater Minstrels—Will Be Seen in Indianapolis Dec. 27-28. One of the best known members of the Negro race now in the theatrical business is "Doc" Blair, of Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Blair has been in the amusement business since 1910 and until time he has been with one company, the AI G. Field Greater Minstrels. He has a number of friends in Indianapolis, and will be here Friday and Saturday, December 27 and 28, when the minstrels play at the Minstrels. Doc Blair is as well known in the amusement world as is any star of magnitude, white or colored. He is Mr. Field's personal valet, and has full charge of the wardrobe of the show as well as being the manager of that Field and his minstrel company tour the country on every season. He personally knows every station agent at every city the minstrels have been playing for the past years, and every railroad man has handled the Field special Doe Blair. Mr. Blair has been with Field since he was able to walk. The minstrel dean, who is admired and respected by every Negro who has ever heard his name, has been a friend of Dr. Blair to school, and when he had finished his school duties, the minstrel took him on the road. To Doc is entrusted a very important part of the Field production. He is a member of the company by the members of the company; when a suit needs mending or pressing Doc attends to it, and after the costumes have been laid away at the end of the season Doc makes all the arrangements to sell the suit to the field season. All the suits used by the com- WILLS THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER pany are provided by the minstrel himself, and to Doc falls the task of selling them so as not to fill the storehouse in Columbus with too many costumes and too Mr. Blair also loads the scenery and properties on the baggage cars of the Field special. He knows where every piece of baggage goes, and when the car is empty he knows where the empty space left, so massive is the Field production. In the storehouse in Columbus, Doc has full charge of this department, and he alone knows where the property and every accoument is placed. When something is needed Doc Blair is the man who alone knows and can supply the demands. The position he holds about as reasoned as the man who amusement business ever held. Doc also appears on the stage during the first part this season. He is an actor of ability and talent, and his success in the miniseries Blair's hobby is dogs. He is accounted one of the best trainers of dogs in the business, and his hunting canine Court, one of our favorite dogs. He declares they have ever seen. Doc's first day was "Old Boy," and later he had a hunting dog he named "Bruno." Now he is the possessor of "Scott" and "Court," two of the prettiest canes one Doc will be here with the minstrels on Friday and Saturday, December 27 and 28. The matinee will be given Saturday the matinee pop-up hall, where the engagement will be played. CIRCLE THEATER, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Gulfport and Wallace Score. With weather just a little cooler and unlimited cloudiness the Circle continues the record breaking business. Mr. Wilkins, in an English singing and dancing act, introduced many comedy flashes featuring a funny juggling act, a comedy and catchs balls without the least fear of falling. His act was well received. I well received. The Ginger Girls in a new act and an exceptional fine wardrobe, which was finally given by King and Gee. These clever ladies are held over. John Lubrie Hill's Dixie Girls, with Evon Robinson, Mame Butler, Edith Wardell and Maria Banks, were greatly appreciated, and Mr. Hill deserves great Wallace open with screams and close likewise. Miss Wallace has a charming personality, exhibiting a mass of jewels, which help to set off her beauty. Mr. Gulfport is a comedian with lots of wardrobe, which would even be worth a wallace, by the way he's a comedian far above the average, and is in the Hogan and Dudley class.

Act was to open on Monday; four days before Monday Lewis wired, "Be there Saturday." Act did not get in Saturday Monday came and act did not get in. Wired Lewis, "What is wrong?" Got no answer. Three days after time to open one Mr. White came in on one of my tickets and said Lewis told him to tell me that his wife was sick. Three days later got wire from Lewis, "Tried to get team to take my place, could not do so, will come alone now." Waited several days, Lewis failed to appear. Wired him to send me my ticket, as same was void day after date of issue. Also had refund on ticket stopped. Later wrote him at his last address, also in care of The Freeman; both letters were delivered, as my return address was on both envelopes.

Lovers of high-class comedy and burlesque were certainly satisfied the past week at the Auditorium. They were all headliners. It would be idle to comment extensively on their talent, the extensive artists, Hodges and Lachmera, in their well-known musical entertainment, "The Cat Opera," which had competent interpretation the past week, to large and appreciative audiences. Much of their work was Ethiopian Comedy Four—be that as it may, the act is one of those big laughs which meets with ready response in the average house. Much of their work is not so obvious, but they appear. Every one enjoyed the work hugely because it was out of the stereotyped groove, and those who were looking for breezy amusement found it much to their liking to come and see their work. Speciality was given by Denslow and Denslow, with electrical effects. A headliner of interest and attractiveness was Simms and Simms, character change was great, and their versatility in an act that has a little bit of everything, even a new version of the latest dances, which kept the audiences in an uproar all the time. Manager Gibson said that people the creature of colored profession in this country. FRANK HENDON INFORMS STAGE STRUCK GIRLS.

Walcott Rabbitt Foot Company. a. Tutt, Whitney. It was in Crowley, La., that I entered a white drug store to purchase a writing tablet. The proprietress, a genial little woman, asked what it was I desired to purchase. Observing that I was a stranger, she engaged me in conservation, and with a friendly inquisitiveness, often noticed in her writing the way she was and what my business was in Crowley. Her conversation proved her broad-minded and intelligent. It is a significant fact that while girls were in the South, white or black, and no matter how far from the subject of race the conversation may be in the beginning, it will invariably revert to the race problem before the conversation. While the lady and I were talking, a white servant girl appeared from behind the counter. The little lady stopped speaking with me to reprimand the girl and spoke, "Negro girl, Negro girl disappeared without saying a word. The little lady turned to me and remarked "White help is not nearly so satisfactory as Negro help, but there is this difference," she spoke. "Negro girl did the same as Negro girl would either have returned me an insolent answer or put on her hat and walked away. Colored girls and boys need to practice repression, self-control and learn to be The truth in the little lady's remark is obvious. The absence of repression, self-control and reliability is the secret of the ability of girls in the show business. There are a number of performers, who, had they the ability to repress their tempers, control their behavior, and notitation for their reliability, would soon reach the most rost of success. How many boys or girls with a company when reproved for misconduct neglected their manager, and will reply to their manager in this manner? "I am sorry sir, it shall not happen again." In some companies, such a reply will throw the manager into aitting spell. The majority of performers seek to justify their misconduct, neglect or improper performance of duty in this manner: "I'm worse off than I was when I don't call them down"." It's funny you can never see you make a mistake but me." "If you don't like what I do, get someone else." "This isn't the first show I have seen," he says on the road; "I can always get a job." "I didn't think I was joining a Sunday school." After the manager has gone, the company agitator gets in his work; he administers the show; after this manner: "You're a fool if you stand for it; he's always 'laying' on you; I wish he would say something to me; why don't you quit? I can get you to do it." This time this advice is followed, the foolish one never stopping to consider what it means to quit in the middle of a season. Never figuring the time lost, the car fare or the labor of rehearsing for another show. There are a number of performers who are always looking for work, whose talents are sufficient to place them in the job market. In the case that they will sign to go with one company, and at the last minute go with another. They will receive money for a ticket to join a company. They will leave a company upon the slightest provocation, without a moment's notice, usually just before the night perforation. They will work one with them and leave the other members of the company in a state of mutiny. Their word is not to be depended upon for a single statement. In the case this kind sometimes succeed in inhaling a show for a short period THE FREEMAN.

Our little city is still among the progressives in Negro business enterprises. . . The uproar at the First Baptist church of this city is still at fever heat, and a new movement has developed to oust Rev. Jones and read by Lawyer H. L. Edwards a few nights ago at a mass meeting, declaring the office vacant until further notice. This, of course, did not meet the approval of Rev. Jones and a great number of the members are trying to figure out some way that the pastor can be ousted without their names being known. Rev. Jones was recently appointed to the Association and deserves much credit for his remarkable efforts in holding his own regardless of his many enemies. Among some of the leaders who are pushing the affair is Mr. Anderson Jones, conspiring to best friend, and he is able assisted by Hon. A. W.

BY HAROLD C. MCGATH. THE JACK JOHNSON CASE. not very often get the better of a whi Caustic Criticism by Negro Publications—Taking the Matter Rather Seriously. (By Billy Lewis.) I think no mistake is made when it is said that the colored people are glad enough that the recent Jack Johnson incident is closed. If not completely so, it promises to be so in the near future. As little as we may of matter matters, philanthropic efforts than anything, more than any one happening in the history of the Negroes as a freed people. In making such a sweeping assertion, perhaps I should include the history of Jack Johnson from Reno to Lucile Cameron. Never were racial declarations made, never were timed in reference to the race who had advanced a step or so. They exemplified the old saying: "Scratch a Russian and you'll find a Tartar." Some good results from any old situation. And if we wish the truth, and we should, no matter how crushful and some of it within the few weeks. Negroes buoyed by the Johnson victories and maddened by his ill treatment at the court, he was forced to give mental declaring and not a little oral. The truth of the real situation has made them wise if not free. One sometimes takes the advice of with old Dr. Weson of, Bunker's Hill; "What's the mercy despot feels?" "Didn't it in your bristling steel." and the rest of it. But it is not quite so bad as that. If we may not marry white women in peace, then we may marry something just as good—colored women. The white people are human on the proposition of mixed marriages. But the black women are not does not enter where work is denied, the common opportunity reducing to a peculiar opportunity. It enters or fails to enter when courts grow malignant, pursuing an individual back to the days of the hastle, when men disappeared for the convenience of other men. I take it that with the supply of white blood on hand right within the race we will manage to look presentable with the one ideal. If it is averaged up we will land about where the Japanese are in color or the Hawaiians. As to hair, we'll do the rest with our various compounds that guarantee to keep warm when the weather is light. Black women said Solomon, and he was wise and discriminating enough. Newspaper Comment. The Amsterdam News of New York grew rather serious over the Johnson matter during his effort to gain his liberty. It, however, was not different in its opinion of the black civil rights individuals and race journals. In part it said: "The relentless persecution of Jack Johnson in Chicago by the State and Federal authorities is nothing less than a response to the American civil rights revelation of the prejudice remnant in American jurisprudence. The legal inquisitioners of the State of Illinois and of the nation are madly bent upon making a scapegoat of the Caucasian upon the black race because one of its members happens to be a pugilism's champion." "Remnant in American jurisprudence," big enough expression all it gets there, is that it hopes the courts will not be a refuge of race prejudice. It is human to think that the Negro client will $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 menhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worm and nervous men that they own 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 description have determined a copy of the scription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. The man who 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 deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I it to my fellow man to see them a copy in confidence, so that any one who needs it can be courageed with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the first-acting restorative, apoptosis-STOPING INNERVE device and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: E. R Robinson, $331 Luck Building, Detroit. Copy of this splendid receipt in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. The New Amsterdam News in the instance is right. There is no doubt of the attempt to put it over Johnson, regardless of who they were. The State of Illinois or the nation can be wrong; they are afraid of the country and burns at what they feel to be race shame just as that of anyone else. They are not exempt from criticism. They are just so many of us, of the country in general, and if they feel to be in the sense of depilling men then the response is to race against race, we, of the race, are expected to stand up at least and answer to our names. Then again the publication says: "The case of the Milwaukee woman, now admitted to be groundless, because of her willingness to testify that she was wrongly accused of only one possible ground of attack. That failing, someone else must be found by the United States marshals and Federal judges to make a case against the black man, who was accused of that white men not related to the Cameron girl, were behind the prosecution. Had that case come to trial and Jack Johnson been given a fair hearing, the enforcer's race persecution would have been exposed." In these columns it will be noted that I have studiously veered from the too sensational, or had what tended to be more or less character than realism. Perhaps no credit attaches on that account, nor was that the motive. I have discussed persons simply as such, never feeling the need to concern their morals. In venturing this final paragraph from the Amsterdam News I do so to show the deep feeling, disclaiming anything in concomit with the evidence. "Every day witnesses in the southern States the beastly and murderer lust of prominent white men for colored women. New York, Chicago and every other city of consequence in the northern States have many ill-conceived evidence of prominence in the South, and a lack of reality. Yet in all this the government has never yet invoked the white slave law. The stench of the unjust and unholy race persecution in which the entire country is joining hands in railroading Jack Johnson cries to heaven for redemption. We ask the governor to take care of dogs of war off in Chicago. Let Johnson, who has already suffered enough, let the immoral men all slink away from this nasty national mess back into the obscurity of the underworld. The persecution of Johnson, but disturb for a long time to come the peaceful relations of the white and colored people of the nation." JOHNSON OUT ON $30,000 BOND. His Mother One of the Sureties—A $750 Fee After a week's incarceration in the county jail, Jack Johnson, Negro pugilist, was released on bail. Federal Judge Carpenter approved a bond signed by Matthew Baldwin. 32 North Clark street, a real estate dealer and the pugilist's mother, Mrs. Tiny Johnson. Baldwin who lives at 1111 Church street, Evanston, scheduled property valued at more than $70,000, and Mrs. Johnson scheduled property valued at $10,000. This property is located at 3344 Wabash avenue. She valued it at $32,000. Johnson's bond is $30,000. He was under indictment charging violation of the Mann act against trafficking in women. The bond will be trailed by a private detective at Johnson's expense until the trial had much to do with the granting of his release. Work Hard to Get Bail. Johnson's attorneys had worked uneasily for a week trying to get sureties that would be acceptable to the United States, but not to the matter of examining the validity of the proffered sureties was placed by the court in the hands of District Attorney James H. Wilkerson, who placed the work in charge of Assistant District Attorney Harry Parkin. When Mr. Parkin announced that the Baldwin bond would be acceptable to him Johnson was taken from the jail into Judge Carpenter's court, where he was congratulated by a large number of Negro friends. He was accompanied by his lawyer, William W. G. Anderson, Mr. Baldwin was then questioned by Mr. Parkin. "Do you expect to receive any indemnity on this bond?" Mr. Baldwin was asked. Why, I expect the mto make it right with me for the trouble I am put to," said he. Sleuth to Trail Johnson. "Evidently he does not understand the question," said Judge Carpenter. "Have they promised to make any payment to your case Joseph? No, not an indemnity has been made," answered he. "I am to receive a fee of $750 and I have a contract with Johnson that he is to be accompanied by a private detective, at his expense, while out on bond." "That is perfectly proper," said theee. Mr. Baldwin added that he had never before seen Johnson and that the Negro's attorney had requested him to act as surety. "Was once on a bond for George Baker, but he skipped out," said Mr. Baldwin. "I have a release in that matter from former State's Attorney John J. Heath. There is a small judgment against me for $1,200. I have nothing to conceal." The property scheduled by Baldwin is as follows: Store building at 1010 Davis Street, at 1751 Washington Boulevard, at 1751 Washington boulevard, valued at $10,000. Incumbrance $5,500; building at $751 Ellis avenue, valued at $7,000. incumbrance $2,700; 1111 Church street, Evanston, valued at $9,000. incumbrance "I see no objection to this bond," said Judge Carpenter. "Arrested After Release. Directly after the Negro pugilist's release on him, the photographer he was arrested by Detectives Tierney and McKune of the Chicago avenue station on a warrant sworn out by a newspaper photographer charging assault and battery. He was arrested when he was short time until friends cashed a check and he furnished a cash bond of $400. The warrant charges that Johnson struck the photographer with a cane at the camera. He was arrested on 8. The photographer also entered suit against the pugilist in Superior court for THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. $10,000 damages as a result of the assault. Albert C. Jones, 2969 Michigan avenue, sentenced b y judge Landis to one year in the jail for assault, theft, and perjury in connection with an offer of a fraudulent bond in the Johnson case, was granted an appeal on a writ of error in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. His bonds were fixed at 85. AMERICAN GIANTS BEAT NAGEL'S MFN "Bill!" Lindsay Again Shows Great Form—Hill, Duncan and Monroe Star in the Field. Los Angeles, Cal. "If these brunnette babies had been on McGraw's staff, the world's championship would be reposing in Gotham instead of in Boston." This tribute to the prowess of Lindsay and Petway, the prize pattern of the Americas, by his gentleman is perfectly white and directly from New York. He had just seen the Glants humble the Tufts-Lyons, 6 to 0, and his admiration for Lindsay and Petway, the principal factors in the victory of the Chicago club, was not bounded by any color line. While I am neither ready to agree or disagree with the gentleman from New York, I am willing to doff my dier to Messrs. Lindsay and Petway as one of the best batteries ever seen in this strip of suburban. Wow! How this black boy can pitch. It was his second victory over the "white trash," and it was fully as sensational as that registered a week ago. He made gile's men laugh. His gile was terrific, his control almost perfect and his curves calculated to bambooze the best of them. He allowed but four hits, fanned eight men, walked but one, and Olson, who was nailed at the plate on a great throw by Hill in the sixth, was the third base at any stage of the proceedings. Hitt, a trifle fatter than he was three weeks ago, but in full possession of his pitching faculties, saw his slants hammered ten different ways from the grand staircase. The rivalry was quite keen; so keen, in fact, that Jack Doyle was forced to read the riot act to the manager of each team. He was a bit nervous, but the surface in the second innning, when Lindsay, in sliding back to first, almost ripped a stocking off of Walter Nagle's handsome leg. The condition became crucial in the fourth. Olson was on second base. The batter, Ellis fouled the ball. Olson didn't stop to ascertain whether the ball had been fouled or not. Knowing the penchant Petway has for pegging base runners to death, he went to the third base. The Cleveland man came to the surface with a sprained ankle, but this did not convince Taylor that Olson did not try to spike him, and the men squared off deliberately. Things threatened to get interesting, Jack Doyle appeared on the scene and informed Managers Foster and Nagle that he had leased the place, not as a fight arena, but as a baseball park, and advised them to play ball.

Much much elated over the royal generosity of the people here, and extend thanks to them. --- A few weeks ago Lee L. Brown, editor of the Louisville News, referred to the writer as a maniac. Brown is like many who were pollutants and ple counter seekers who have been doing something he says. Pitchfork Brown said a few good words for the State Normal in the paper he is hired to edit, for another man, and will be ousted when they find him. Brown is sent up his application to deprive a certain young lady of her position. Both graduated from the same school. Brown is supposed to be the producer of the News, but sent up blacking parlor, editor of the News and correspondent for several papers. If this is not enough medicine, I will double the dose next time. We look to see him with a depriving scheme after while. Nothing surprising is expected of such characters. SHELBYVILLE, KY.
