Dr. Underwood began by a brief review of the history of medicine and counted past and present medical science during the past century, and commended the progressive tendencies of the profession. He said that the profession has better pressed today than ever be- INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1913 fore to intelligently and conscientiously discharge its duties to the laity. He discharges the duties of the laity to the Laity" eximinatively, touching upon the relation to the patient, to the family, to the community, to the school, to the church, to the courts, and closed "It would not be possible to discuss this subject fully without a brief refrence to his brother practitioner. Unfortunately, there is not always the spirit of cordiality which ought to obtain among physicians, who possess professional wisdom and whispered in the streets of Askleon' that there is often too much jealousy among physicians, which does untold injury to their professional life. Any physician his brother should be to 'do unto others as he would that others would do unto him. No physician should be to send to the level of slendering his own brother. He should not permit himself to the lealing art. This is an evil of which no conscientious physician should be guilty of. Nothing goes so far toward conscientious physicians the profession and to bring them to disgrace than do this, the physician should hold his peace. He should remember the judge not be judged. For with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured, and with what measure the more in this brother's eye, when behold, there is a beam in thine own eye'. As physicians we should remember that the more in this human is human. As has been well said, 'There is so much that is good in the worst of us, and so much that is bad in the least of us, who behaves any of us to talk about the rest of us.' No physician can afford to be a captious fainturer of his brother, when he faults, is subject to mistakes and to errors. "It is a well-known fact that the jailed his little reward for medical ethics, his medical education, and another physicism without consulting the attending physician, or to change physicians without settling the bill and informing him that his services are no longer expected. They need to be taught how to consult the physician, done of the physicist last call will but do his duty. Another rule necessary to the profession is to never perish in another condition and calls for the most heroic winner. In matter of consultation, a physician should be broad-gauge, whether it be a case in which he is jailed or himself is called in consultation. Due resuscitation must be M. B. DR. E. E. UNDERWOOD, Frankfort, Ky. "One of the most vexatious and serious problems with which the physician is called to deal is the remuneration of his services. To the best of his deed, one of the most vital questions of the hour. When the shadow of sickness is called to the physician, he calls to and, when after his caessless vigil the sunshine of health returns, he is too often the thief in pain, painfully, painfully. When our Savior called and sent forth the seventy, he admonished them to 'carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor scarf, nor his hie. And if there is any public servant who ought to be paid, it is the physician, hold high carnival and the air of bacillus, his loved ones in his hands and enters the sick room, where disease and death hold high carnival and the air of bacillus, exhausts his every energy in baffled impotence to save human life. He it is who spends it, these things, an effort to alleviate suffering. He it is who regards no sacrifice too great in order that he may stay alive, and so does an effort to alleviate suffering. He it is who regards no sacrifice too great in order that he may stay alive, and so does an effort to alleviate suffering.

Compiled Under the Direction of the National Negro Press Association. A meeting of the special sub-commit- tee of the National Negro Press As- sociation will be held May 10 at Cape May, N. J., to consider a program and other important questions in connec- tion with the annual meeting of the association next August. By invitation of Mr. E, W. Dale, proprietor of the ‘famous Hotel Dale, the association will hold one of its ‘sessions at Cape May, August 18, to be followed by, other sessions at Philadelphia, August 19, ‘The Dallas Express unsparingly con- denins those of our people who refuse to subscribe for a dignified colored paper, and yet.rush out to patronize white sheets which refer to them con- temptuously as “Sambo,” “darky” and Sooant Speaking of the progressive spirit found among the colored people of the Northwest, Dr. Booker T. Washington just returned from a tour of the States of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and other portions of the Pacific country, says: “In proportion to the popula- tion, the standard monthly magazine and’ high-type weekly publications have a large cireulation, 1 think, in the West than in the East. It is not only true that the white people are great readers, but the same is equally true of the colored people. They know what is going on in the world, and anyone who comes into this part of the United States expecting to find ignorance will soon be undeceived.” That this is highly encouraging, goes without the saying. ‘The qualifications of membership in the association: the number of repre- sentatives allowed to a publication paying the initiation fee of one dollar: the revision of the constitution and a tentative draft of a program are among the points that will occupy the atten- tion of the sub-committee of hte N. N. P. A. at Cape May next month. Bishop B. T. Turner disapproves of the acceptance by our papers of “ads” exploiting the virtues of hair-straight eners, face-bleaches and fortune tell- ers, ‘The fellows who have to fix up the payroll for dhe employes on Sat- urday night take amore liberal view of the question. The Chisholm News Service, which dispenses news about colored people for the colore dpapers in and about Texas, has joined hands with the Na- tional Negro Press Association. It is a creditable enterprise and should be generously supported by our. papers everywhere, The bright side of the Negro’s life and character will be given a fair showing only when we have de- veloped means among ourselves for the distribution of the facts that redound to our advantage as a people. Fred R. Moore, publisher of the New York Age, has decided not to go to Liberia as United States minister. Daniel Murray's “Enevelopedia of the Colored Race,” upon which he has spent the better part of fifteen years. is now ready for distribution. Since Is71, Mr. Mur rayhas been an assist- ant in the library of congress and has been in a position to get hold of the most reliable matter concerning the rise, progress and- achievements of the race along every line of endeavor. The work is very complete and is a yalua- ble addition to the literature of the century touching the Negro people. Mr, Murray {s one of Washington's larg- est property owners and is in all re- spects publicspirited citizen, ax well asa writer of practical history. J. H. Murphy, the veteran editor of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, recently made a tour of the South, for recrention, observation and study. His letters to bis paper. describing condi- tions, as he saw them, in the principal centers of Negro population in Dixie- land, have been very interesting and instructive, ‘They contained much that gave us hope and much that caused the Negro to pause and think seriously of what the future may bring forth. tn the mian, however, the race, as ob: served by Mr, Murphy, showed sub: stantial gains, both in education and material possessions, and the balance is on the right side. Upon his return to his home town, Mr, Murphy was tendered a big banquet by the Masons, of which he is bright and shining light, and his address on that occasion stands out as one of the most luminous and helpful deliverances ever present- ed to a Baltimore audience. Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association, is a busy man these days. Besides bearing the lion's share of the burdens of the press association, he has on his hands the bulk of the pro- motion work of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress, which meets in Muscogee, Okla., in June. He is one of the motor forces of the National Haptist Publishing House, the drive- wheel of the National Negro Doll Com: pany, which is now taking orders for next Christmas, « powerful factor in the Nashville Globe and the National Raptist Union-Review—and has a plen- ty to do in connection with other enter- prises of which space forbids further mention at this time. Mr. Boyd is one of the most useful young men in this country and a brilliant future awaits him. Mr. N. H, Dodson, editor of the Afro- American page published by the Amer- ican Press Association, has the sym- pathy of the entire craft in the loss of his father, Mr. Armistead W. Dodson, who died a fortnight ago at Boydtown, Va, aged about seventy-five years. The elder Dodson had a picturesque career, and the story of his experiences with his master, an officer in the Confed- erate army, his capture by the sol- diers under Lee and his sensational escape, followed by a journey home- ward of one hundred miles on foot, reads like a romance, Mr. Dodson con- ducted a fine farm at Boydtown and gave all of his children a liberal educa- tion. ‘The younger Mr. Dodson is an energetic Sunday school and social set- tleemnt worker and is chairman of the Loadstone Trust Threatened by Group of Financiers who Have Investigated ! ‘Poor Men and Women Suddenly Becoming Wealthy Resulted in Search for Cause—Scientists Said to be Employed for the Investigation—May List Loadstone on Change. executive committee of the N.

RACE GLEANINGS. States, and one who has come in for ‘quite a recognition in the music halls of London and other parts of Europe, ‘was especially requested to sing the folo “Calvary” at the funeral service of the late J. Plerpont Morgan, held at St. George's Episcopal church, New York, last Monday. | James C. Thomas, Jr., of New York, was recenily admitted to practice at the bar of that city. In a class of five hundred taking the examination he was the only Negro. Mr, Thomas is the son of James C. Thomas, Sr, the well-known under- taker, and is just 23 years old. He was born in New York City and at- tended the city public schools, grad- uating from the high schools of Com- meree in 1909. He entered the Cor- nell Law School in the fall of 1909, graduating with honor in 1912. He has also studied law in the offices of Max Franklin, 299 Broadway; Rufus Lewis Perry, 875 Fulton street, Brooklyn, and John William Smith, 203 Broadway. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, suggests the following beautiful oath for the Afro-American youth: I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy deed or dis- honorable act: 1 vill live a clean, de- cent manly, life, and ever respect’ and defend the’ virtues and honor of wo- manhood; I will uphold and obey the just laws of my country and of the ‘community in which I live and will encourage others te do likewise; I will not allow prejudice, injustice, in- sult or outrage to cower my spirit or humiliate my soul, but will ever pre- serve the inner freedom of heart and conscience; I will not allow myself to be overeome by evil, but will strive to overcome evil with good: I will en- deavor to develop and exert the best powers within me for my own per- sonal improvement, and will strive un- ceasingly to quicken the sense of ra- cial duty and responsibility: { will in al these ways aim to uplift my race so that, to everyone bound to it by ties of blood, it shall become a bond of ennoblement, and not a byword of re proach, Jere A. Brown, who recently died at his home in Cleveland. 0., served two ternis as a member of the Ohio state legislature. His most conspicuous work as a legislator was the passage of an antidiserimination Insurance vill which is still a state law and ef fective. He served two terms as a deputy sheriff, many years ago, and was a past grand master of our Ma- sons of the state of Ohio at the time of his death. It is said of Mr. Brown that soon after the war of the rebel- lion, he served on the Mississippi river steamboats with “Mark Twain” (Samuel Clemens, deceased) and that he was the last surviver of the steam- er “Pennsylvania,” whose boiler ex- ploded and caused the famous disaster which history records in connection with that great river.

J stese investigators found _ that quantities of buried treasures to be [found th almost every section of the South as a result of the Civil War, had been discovered. by the possessors Toadstones. ‘These | diseoveries ae counted for the sudden wealth. Tt was iso learned that each of the lucky finders of buried treasures was the owner of two Toadstones. a negative and a positive, The information led to further investigation whieh resulted In the most remarkable serles of facts jcoming to light.

In proof of the power of the loadstones controlled by the New York men, # well authen- ticated case was cited of a highly re- spected colored women whose life was saved when, so it is asserted, an en- emy attempted to cast a spell over her. The attempt failed. but in repel- ling the evil influence, the loadstones burned a hole through a little leather bag in which the owner carried them suspended by a cord. The burned re- ceptacle was shown several scientists land the grateful woman told them her story. Wien these facts became known to the financiers an attempt was made by them to get centro! of the com- pany which has control of the supply lof these highly magnetic loadstones. Various offers were made, but each was refused. The inability of the financiers to “gobble” the mineral company stimulated their interest un- til there has been serious talk of forming a Loadstone Trust.

According to the latest report of the bureau of industrial statistics for the state of Pennsylvania, the number of Negroes owning property in Philadel- phia is 1,080 with an assessed valua- tion of $2,801,275. ‘The market value of these holdings is put at $3,735,000. Jerome B. Peterson; of New York City, deputy collector of internal rev- enue, under Collector Charles W. An- derson, has been appointed deputy: col- jon the Curb Market or Consolidated Exchange, It has even been said that onee stieh a trust is formed, Its shares will be listed on the Stock Exchange, when there would be every likelihood of a Wall Street flurry being caused by them, Though the financiers are reticent in regard to their plans, it is known they believe the formation of such a trust could be accomplished without having the trust accused of trying to restrain trade. ‘There is reason to believe that the men interested in this gigautic prop: osition have had several scientists at work to determine just what power the loadstone of the mineral company in question have, In a secret report, it is alleged, the scientists have set forth that the tremendous power of these loadstones comes from having them in pairs, a negative and a posi- tive. These learned men assert that the stones should not, and do not con: tain a superabundance of magetism, whieh would make them harmful to their possessors, drawing the natural magnetism from the wearer. ‘The claim is made, however, that they con tain just the right quantity of magnet ism so that when they are worn in pairs the loadstones are capable of producing the very best possible re: sults for the success and prosperity of the wearers. ‘These scientists are not the first men of their class who have made « study of loadstones and found them to be of great benefit to the wearers of the pectiar mineral. No less a person- age than Sir Isaac Newton contsantly wore a ring in which was set an ele gant specimen of the loadstone. He wore the ring many years and ex- plained to his friends that it was an heirloom of his family, haying been handed down from father to son for many generations. When a scientist ‘of his reputation, high attainments and many qualifications gave the load- stone his approval so openly the at- titude taken, by some of the conserva- tive class of the present day seems not only remarkable but downright foolish. Much is being sald and written about “personal magnetism.” The man or woman who has it is eagerly sought because of such person’s abil- ity to influence and control others. Many of those who are supposed to have developed their “personal mag- netism” to the fullest extent have done nothing of the sort; but, on the contrary, have made no effort to change themselves, relying wholely on the wonderful power contained in the pair of loadstones, which the supposed possessor of “personal magnetism” al- ways wore. ‘These and many other facts have been brought to the attention of the strong group of financiers who have been having the workings of the load- stone investigated by scientists and other men who make investigations their life work. The information which the financiers most desired, however, was in regard to where the lector in charge of the revenue office Jat San Juan, Porto Rico.

One of these was because they were well satisfied with the business in its present condition. The other aud much stronger reason was because they feared the price o! the loadstones would be raised so that it would be difficult, for those most in need of the beneficent influences of the loadstone, to get them In the meantime, while the possi bility of a deal between the mineral campany and x Wall Street syhdicate is In the balance, the news about the wonderful properties of this special supply of loadstones became known in “The Street:" and it is said that many staid bankers and brokers are carrying about with them a pair of loadstones for the purpose of winning mueh money in the Stock Market How well they succeed is not likely to be known to the public ax men of their class never let it be known generally whether they are making or losing money, until they have lost everything. Then it is known because they cannot pay their debts. When enough of them fail at once it creates a panic, and business is bad all over the country. If enough of the men who deal in stocks use the loadstones there is little likelfhood that there will be a panic, in spite of the’ fact that this is a “Presidential election year.” when many folks are ready to predict financial trouble. Such pre. @ictions always are instrumental in shaking confidence on the part of the pubiic, which in turn makes the be- ginning of a panic possible. The pub- lic, however, as well as the financiers, are buying and wearing loadstones. Should enough of the public supply Itself with the peculiarly endowed min- eral, there is little likelihood that there will be very hard times, in spite of the distrust caused by a national elec- tion. Though it may be too difficult for every man to become a J. P. Morgan, a John D. Rockefeller, or an Andrew Carnegie, it is safe to predict that each who has heard fully about load. stones will buy a pair as soon as he can get the price: for there is very indfcation the public 1s becoming more and more interested in the subjec SE = ee testatioas of jours ter these - jor these tien go co with so litle cost.

Those who desire influence. power and wealth will undoubtedly give a pair of loadstones a chance to show what they can do. As practical- ly everybody is striving for success, it is safe to sy the mineral company, which controls the supply of the most efficacious stones yet discovered, will have enough business to keep It from giving much heed to the offers of the financiers who would probably make the Loadstone Trust an oppressive organ- ization for their own aggrandizement and an adjunct to thelr many means of increasing their power. That the many who have received innumerable benefits from wearing loadstones will object to the formation of such a trust, ‘and use their best endeavors to pre. vent it, is a foregone conclusion. Be- cause of the stand taken by the-min- feral company which controls the best supply of loadstones there is little doubt that the rights of the public will be protected. ‘Anyone interested in the wonderful magnetic power of the losdstapan can receive FREE a book entitled “The Loadstone, Mother of Magnetism.” by addressing the publishers, 2082 Lax: ington avenue, New York City.

CHICAGO SPECIAL REVIEW The Dekoven Thompson Song Recital program as Solist- Other Legal Briefs (By Sylvester Russell.) The song recital craze which meets with such good reward in Chicago, even if we apply to oversee, is its clear position in the organization, such institutions serve well for the cultivation of art by appropriation of its use to quench the sophisticated thirst of faculties so sweet. Bedded in the library of the doors on the 21st ultime, but people were turned away with tickets of admission. Delkoven Thompson is the young composer who won fame by setting music to the sounds of a violin which was immediately accepted by Mme. Schaumann-Heink. The solist was Mme. Marie Burton-Hyman and the care of the Thompson music was in her keeping for the rest of the year, peacefully resigned to the way she handled his compositions. There were twelve numbers in all given in two parts, and it was well as for Chicago that Freeman readers have the grateful and reliable opportunity to read sweetly told in vocal shadows which had no depth. In accompanying the singer Dr. Thompson showed that he was a master of the poetic aptitude of art, in a field of mediocrity. Of the program, Anderson's "When I Think of Home and You" was given with "When Tomgrow Comes" was unworthy when not given in ragtime, and I may have been more comfortable in junctionable in churches but rather the bad words and physical movements, and Mr. Thompson's song by Russell Smith and Mr. Alonzo A. Govern's "I Love You, Dean," was too retarded. Mr. Dearling was a trifle better. "I Miss You" gave signs of life, and I Remember Me." words the composer was rather sloven but touchingly beautiful. Two short poems by Alonzo Govern took place in Year 1952 and Year 1953. E-Fat showed culture in "Shouse" Mammys Angel" was given with an uneven, temporary Benjamin B. Blood" Your Heart" was given with too much force in aggritate. "If I Forget" was the second best poem in the collection and so slovenly opened, the chorus was brilliantly rendered, and I could see that Alfred Anderson, the cripple poet, who sat opposite him, the composer for vocal variety has been heard to better advantage both in oratorio and composer and too meager for vocal variety has been heard to better advantage both in oratorio and composer can feel highly gratified over their personal popularity. Johnnie Woods Takes Foremost Rank as a Ventrilogist. When Johnnie Woods made his first appearance at the Monogram a couple of weeks ago, little did the people think that he was a monogram. He really read gave him a hearty reception and turned out in large numbers. Of Woods I can safely say that as a ventriloquist he was a monogramist, his line of his own race, and his transposition is unexcelled by any of the prominent white artists, for it is in the context of the monogram of the vole which makes the art of ventriloquism great. While his southern dialect is polished for his native section, for his home is in Memphis. His Tennessee pronunciation of a haunted house was better than his northern education. His dialogue was unprecedented and his singing voice was perfect. Bradford, the Aviator, Arrives to Sign for a Motordome and Jiffy Trip.

For nature, has reared you thus, And molded your large brown eyes; But don't mind mongers who fuss, Nor ignore to be wise. Why look so morbidity sad? Your cheeks now hollow with care; Take heart, my dear, and be glad; Some one who loves you is near. Child of a dream, be wise; The heart is far away; Your rescue's beyond the skies, where torment will end some day. NOTES. Sylvester Russell, who was to address the Bethel Literary Society of Chicago, died in the death of his best friend's wife, Emma May Williams, Samuel O. Williams, who had been a teacher known professionally as "Billy Williams, the Frog Man," and when he retired from the stage he offered Mr. Russell a home in Chicago. The funeral of Emma May Williams, who was to be buried in Robinson, of St. Mark's church, officiated, and a soloist of the choir rendered "I will be with you at Mr. Glennwood in a private plot." A large white star which stood on a pedestal inscribed "wife," was the gift of Mr. Russell from Mr. Wm. Carr, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. George Pick, Mr. and Mrs. Winfrey was once on the stage for a short time with her husband. The team was known as Williams and for Mrs. Winfrey, the retirer, friends lavished. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Prampin and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clermonts were among their actor companions. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. (By S. Tutt Whitney.) Mr. S. H. Dudley is a man of marked versatility, not only does he rank as one world, a pioneer in the management of colored vaudeville, and a prince of good fellows, but he is the most experienced automobile driver in the country. After driving from New York to Philadelphia with Mr. Dudley in his cute little car, he met the sweet sight that happened to be in front of us, even our shadows. We made the trip in the car, and we pretied to be pried out of the auto and received a generous dose of stimulants. I was able to thank Mr. Dudley for a delightful trip. The Negro Players, headed by Alex Rogers and S. C. Creamer, opened at the asheville in a musical comedy entitled "Father." The players deserve credit for attempting something different from the general trend from start to finish and delighted the large audience present. Andrew Copeland and Harriet Gillipn, the choruses, composed entirely of amateurs, was especially good in the dancing numbers. The stage is under the control of Clas Gilpin, of Fokin theater fame. Gibb Young, who built the beautiful Young's Casino, in New York, is once called a dead one in the Standard theater, Philadelphia, and bids fair to make it a howling success. If he keeps up his work, he will give the audience very best that the colored and white vaudeville markets afford, there is no reason why the standard should not be considered. Mr. Young is fearless, energetic and possesses bulldog tenacity. Failure in one direction only makes him strive the harder for the standard. He is unanimous support of the colored theatrical-going public. Vaudeville houses may come, and vaudeville houses may go, but the Circle theater means to so on forever. Theaters left of him, theaters behind and in front of him, theaters behind and in front of him never all off. We must give credit to the managerial ability of George Bundy, and the generosity of Mrs. Anne Segal. Mr. Andrew Thomas, successful manager of the Howard theater, Washingtoon, drew the-Ubiquitous.

When the curtain was rung down on Dr. Beans from Boston on Monday, the theater a t Philadelphia, Mr. Dudley bid farewell to the stage and his many admirers, to commence his career as an active owner, booking agent and promoter of a chain. In the retirement of Mr. Dudley the stage loses the greatest comedian of the modern school. His career was not of the kind of comedian to number of stage celebrities. His success and popularity were gained by hard study and conscientious work, and at all times avoiding the swell end, which has generated of so many shattered would-be stars. Mr. Dudley had one valuable asset—originality—and it proved his first starring opportunity, he had to follow that starring actor—or comedian, the late and lamented Earl Owen, who was the first to star the Smart Set succeeded later by the famous minstrel, the late Tom McIntosh. Owing to the latter's dureremie, the late Owen owner of the Smart Set show, to make a hurried call for a comedian to fill the vacancy, he took scanning of the Smart Set much left for Mr. Hill to choose from, as at that time Ernest Hogan had become the star of the show, rather at the head of their own company; and Johnson starring, forced Mr. Hill to make the best out of anything that could be seen, was secured after much dickering as Dudley had only the reputation of a minstrel man about that time. Mr. Hill was in "King Rastus"—but Dudley in "King Rastus"—but Dudley rus commenced on the performers, all knocking Dudley, saying what can he do? He has only been in the tanks. He won't be knocked, remarks as knockers generally tadgle in. SHERMAN H. DUDLEY. In attempting to organize a chain of theaters he must have the support of the entire Negro profession, as they will rearrange West, North and South all working harmoniously together. There is one great obstacle that the performer must remove from the theater, the hawkeye prices for their services. They will play house that caters to whites and blacks, and they must them to play a Negro house, they don't hesitate in asking an exorbitant price. They don't stop to consider that most of the atmospheres are beginning to get darker and better especially in the East. The Howard Theater at Washington, D. C., the most pertinent theater in under the Negro standard. The Theater Philadelphia is now under Negro management; New York now boasts of its 1,500 white white management. Lafayette white management has its former policy and is now looked upon as a Negro enterprise. St. Louis Jr. Charles Turpin has commenced to build a 1,500-capacity theater. The Crown Hotel at indianapolis five戏剧s, all owned by the white people catering exclusively to the Negro patronage. Cincinnati has a Negro theater—the Palm. And a white company is about to open a new one, catering to the Negroes. Cleveland and Columbus, the two largest cities in best appointed houses in the country is located at Louisville, Ky. This is owned by Mr. Dudley, who has great faith in Louisville and will give them something they have been asking for—a first-class theater. In Chicago at State and Thirty-fifth streets, is opened, it will come nearer being a Negro enterprise than any other in that city. It will be entirely equipped with Negro attaches. With Mr. Dudley booking these houses, from ten to twenty consecutive weeks at fair salaries. As it is now, Negro vaudeville performers don't get bookings only from ten to twenty circuit will be all-wise. Stands no solids. Now, the success of the Dudley venture company, the Dudley Negro, as Mr. Dudley has launched a proposition thata pleains to no class as much as to the Negroes. They must be given the opportunity to come when they must look to the Negro theater if they wish to remain in the profession as a Negro as their salvation. Single handed he is attempting something that means so much more than a living on the American stage. I hope that every lady and gentleman will give Mr. Dudley their co-operation, for withholding the Dudley's noble efforts have been wasted.

CHICAGO)—"Once a fighter always a fighter, but a fighter is often quartered by the pugilistic man. It is true it takes the fighting instinct to make a fighting man, and parachuting in any class, and one of the hardest things in the world to find is a pugilist who doesn't like the game, one who owes him, one after having gained some success in the road arena, have turned to other lines of coedavoir and met with a fair amount of prosperity. Of boxing is an ample evidence of one thing, and that is that the great majority of fighting men are good boxing but fighting against pugilists who have been fortunate enough to garner a sufficient amount of shekels through their prowess to enable them to enter some And that "business career" in nine less out of ten has been in a sort where $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. END NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of rigor, weakened muscles, lack of strength, back brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has caused so many worm and nervous men and their own homes—without any additional power to cure them, every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and should have a copy. So I have determined that the cure of the disease free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who wakes me for it. This pro heiap comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to ask them a copy in confidence, so that any anywhere who is weak and discouraged dragging himself with harmful patient medicines, secure what I believe is the one-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT therapy, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: E. Robinson, 3831 Building, Dartmouth, Moh., and I will send you a copy of the treatment package in ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription thus—but I send it entirely free. real business sagacity was not required. Their efforts in the game of pugilism had taken a knowledge of anything and the result has shown that most boxers stick in their chosen profession until the are earnest as attractions and can learn the easier business as battles or the small money because they go for no other line of business, and finally winding up with an inglorious finish through defiance. Two second raters is not more important. They have been followed that path and undoubtedly there will be many more. The most striking examples of the type just mentioned. Incidentally, it happened that the yare both members of the same division and also that they bitterly mocked each other out of the lightweight championship and started him down the toboggan for the defender at least because reason for the matter exists. Today other is also an ex-champion and has started down the same old toboggan. Battling Nelson is one and Adopli Wolgast Nelson's case certainly is a typical one for his pusillistic career (mor the time he was a junior), and his tenure time has been one long series of batting. He always has been a fighter, unlike some of the others in his class who were more focused on science and scientific ability. For more than twelve years this rought and ready Dane wrung along, fighting everybody who was there, and he was the honors he was seeking—the world's lightweight championship. Winning or losing in that dunk earns him a reputation, and he received much grilling punishment as well as administering it. When he was in the game he took one better than the other, and he didn't much grilling punishment, but It didn't stop Bat, for fighting was the only game he really knows, the battle in question was only a six in the box, and he was fought in Chicago at the old Star theater in 1950. In six rounds were over the Durable Dane had assimilated a beating that was fierce in the extreme. No fewer than a dozen times a left or right man landed on Nelson's jaw and he went down, and he was not enough for the official to count him out, and the best that official could do when the bout went the limit was to give the Headmark never made much of a ripple of the pugilistic stream, but he was one of the few who had the main delight was mixing matters. However, Headmark was "through" because he mainly started to show championship caliber. When that kind of a fight will not stop, he will have to become a man and Bat had many more tough ones before he became boss of the light-heavyweights. He was old colored master, Joe Gars, for forty-two rounds at Goldfield, only to be declared the loser on a foul. He knew he had been in a battle when he quit the game, and the Gans and took the title away from the Batman. As a champion Nelson met the aspirants for his crown as fast as they came along until one day he ran into a Wolfgang. Wolfgang was credited with being the winner, although it was one of those no-nonsense chase games. He followed between these two boys and saw Wolfgang triumph after a little chased hands in that mill and when the Dane left the ring the contour of his face had actually been knocked sideways by the steamy punches of the Michigan For three years Nelson has been an exchampion, an arsenal enough, is his best weapon, and the world's good as he may need for the rest of his life, he is still fighting because he prowls the field, and he is not as good than anything else. He is traveling from one end of the country to the other andighting as often as he can make matches, and he is always beating a beating nearly every contest. The other night he went six rounds against a champion, and emerged from the ring with a cut under one of his eyes and a badly wounded Wogst is a kid in the ring compared with Nelson, but in his time he has had the honor of winning a world's championship and losing it so long ago as the championship called, called "p巩ismil" took the title away from Michigan. The fact that Wogst has through disqualification wouldn't be necessary indicate that Ad had gone back, and that he is not the event and events since that time, make it apparent that losing by a foul was about the easiest, and that Wogst could have been the winner. Losing the title wasn't any signal to Wolgast to quit the game, and since time he has had two battles, both of them with Harper Murphy of New York. Both were (ouch) struggles, the first being a draw, while in the second Murphy had a win. The third was a punch, the only time the referee could do was to award the decision to Harlem Tommy. He threw three bouts spelled a quick finish for a champion, but Wolgast is not through with the game just yet. He intends to play again. Like Nelson, Wolgast has gathered a lot of money while in the fighting game and could retire on it now for the rest of his days. But the chances referee to make matches for him. CHAMP JACK STRUCK BELOW THE STRUCK Federal Court Delivers the Blow—Prosecutor Admits He Was Fouled—Meant It That Way—Says Jack Will Be Counted Out. (By Billy Lewis.) All of the foregoing may seem far fetched to the Jack Johnson case. But let us see what the attorney Harry Parkins had to say, the man who assisted in the prosecution. The honorable Harry said, "The verderid will be with you. The governor of laws he passed in the United States which we may live to see—laws forbidding miscegement. This Negro, in his own words, is the most important Perhaps as individual he was. But his misfortune is to be the foremost example of the evil in permitting the intermarriage and blacks in marriage, the law, his function to teach others the law must be respected." So poor. Negro, Jack Johnson, was not THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER JACK JOHNSON. JACK JOHNSON. The race still insists it has no desire to intermarry. What more? White folks are not the ones to be dom, and who are the snarlings unless it be the individuals? The white people, the women and captains of the soul, the men and the women of the pulsion to even speak to Negroes in a social way. We have our churches and schools, we have our churches. What ever happens is purely voluntary. It is to be hoped that the government will not be put in the umbrella light of the law, and we depend on save a Japanese expulsion from California, a move in consonance with the spirit of our land, and in forest in Jack Johnson, Negro, seeing him in the best light possible.

Attendance Haiti has another new president, but our American minister, Dr. Henry Wurpirs, goes on forever, immune to revival, to graduate, to pay more money to make a life, but not to make a living. The young folks find out enlong that they must make both if they would make either. Dr. Wurpirs says man is at his best at sixty. This theory will prove more acceptable than the one that puts a man out of the game at forty. Nevertheless, a man will continue to be as old as he feels, and his efficiency at any age will depend upon circumstances beyond the control of his sages. Dozens of brilliant young men are living to thank the spoils hunting politicians who "fired" them from the government state. They are now "top-notchers" in law, state, education or business, by reason of being cut off of an official payroll in addition to make to their God-given abilities. Assuming that the masculine-attired lady has been correctly quoted, it looks like the queer such an friend of the queer and pastime Dr. Marie Walker advocating the segregation of the Negroes in the government departments, and the white people, and many of our old champions have charged with them. There should be no rivalry between the city and the country. The country supplies its its food and the city furnishes its furniture. New York and country co-operate for the good of all. Maybe the next time a southern state attempts to pass a grandfather clause, for the express purpose of overriding the constitutional amendment prohibiting disregard of the city's customs, etc., the federal government will take a leaf from the California incident and induct its own countrymen, knows but that the desire to retain the good will of the Japanese will establish a president in some day bring good luck. Isn't the Japanese will of the black man worth cultivating? High School Closing—News in General. Special to THE FORMAN SHORT FLIGHTS. --- FULTON, KY. MOBILE, ALA.

The club had two visitors last Friday evening, Mrs. Oscar Tyrce and Mr. W. J. Sloan, local politician, and Mrs. Joan offered suggestions, and Mr. Tyrce mentioned certain civic conditions which he thought the club could improve. Mrs. Tyrce appointed to investigate the condition and treatment of colored women in the women's prison, reported that, though not permitted to go to the prison, the women had repairs, colored women only, were doing men's work in the grounds. One one woman was spreading dirt as it fell on her shoes. The Hughes, teamster, living at 424 East Wabash street, said that she had been working steadily all day, spreading the dirt. Mrs. Mary Norrel and Mrs. Mary Mays were appointed to get authority from the Colored Prisoners, to conduct investigation of the treatment of the colored prisoners. Mr. Norrel, assistant superintendent of the Colored Prisoners, will meet with the club on Friday, June 6, at Mrs. Mary Cable's.

"The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" is just as true today as it was a thousand years ago. The violence against women is still felt today. We can influence the power of government for good other than by the ballot, and that by incitating women to take action against womenhood, honesty and the law of the land in which they live.
