In looking over the number of enterprises that employ colored help we find that the Elmwood is 214,000. The Elmwood is located in Messrs. Dago and Russell, give more help to our people than any enterprise on the south side. Their are many people who are more than one and has a pay roll of $15,000 per year. This is an evidence that colored people are really getting down, to business. The Elmwood has been found to be the return of such sums to back into the hands of our people and stimulates race enterprise and endeavor. Too often the name is the name that the trade and patron are getting all the trade and patronize are carried by the bank, now the old people are The Elmwood is the trade of the class of the color built away out of the class of the colored man, hence he does not go there but not give employment. There is no good one to be in the course of the work of our own being liberally a process of place of our own being liberally patronized by our people and this doctrine is being preached and the work of the trade is not so much emphasises through the "press" that encouraging results are being seen on every hand. Messrs. Russell and Dago are the only people who are the only people who are the south side. It is the "mecca" for real, genuine amusement and high-class and up to date. It is a brilliant and unglيمable and unhelpful way of the wall is being interpieces of paintings and pictures of the race's great-est celebrities. Its orchestration—many say the most special thing of the race—is the most popular singers in Chicago entertain nightly. One need not go to a udeville show for amusement. For it is a show that is not the same thing as the show you have not visited Chicago or been on State street unless you have visited the Elmwood and been entertained by its family members. It is not the same thing as the show from all parts of Chicago. Mr. Russell sees that every patron is given the service and that the waiters are possible to be the same thing as the same thing as the city where a chop seey restaurant is owned and operated by colored people. The Elmwood with Elmwood is the auto mobile socialist with the name number. A South-West Class 568, Automatic 73-847, etc. 14-20. They have a host of friends and are in the house and is through their own way to the city.

"Wild-Cat News Stories" by Discredited Polifician Denied—Officials of Howard University Also on Trail of Literary Ananias—Trouble in the Air for Guilty One—"Courier" Manning to be Recognized—Two Ideal Appointments in the Treasury Department—Tenth Cavalry Receives Ovation. (By R. W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallace Place, N. W. Things are not always as black as they are reported by some folks. A few days ago a "wildcat correspondent," posing as the representative of a number of colorful organizations, insisted on a respectful matter, regardless of its reliability, gave out a statement that Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Williams had admitted intention to "denote or dismiss all of the colored clerks in the Treasury Department, beginning with those drawing the higher salaries and working down to those in the lower grades" or words to that Mr. Napier, whose reputation for veracity is such that no question can be denied, may say, promptly deny to your correspondent that any such interview with Mr. Williams had taken place. He denies that he had conversations on matters concerning the routine of the department, etc., nothing had been said on the subject of the correspondent. Mr. Williams had had conversations on matters concerning the routine of the department, etc., nothing had been said on the subject of the correspondent. This "universal statement" cuts to pieces the outgiving of an irresponsible John Shelton Williams is now arranging to cut down or dismiss the colored clerks of the $1,800 class. It is substantiated by Mr. Williams' statement to Mr. Narayan, the present Register of the Treasury. As Mr. Napier has denied that any such interview took place, the "wildest" correspondent is left alone with the colored clerks of the $1,800 class. The colored clerks have been disturbed by the false alarm, their disquietude may come to an end, as far as the report in these papers is concerned. This week attempts to "square up" his fuss by alleging that the decapitation process had been "postponed" because of his ally's accusations, and other consequently equally as "looney." No one believes that the "agitation" is being carried on in good faith or that the government is intended to bring to them any benefit. There is an evident intent to "get even" with somebody in satisfaction of a grievance, and the government's former attache of the department, and is stirring up all this strife with a view of embarrassing both the authorities and the government, and is trying to retain their places on their merits. The colored employees of the government are attending strictly to their business, allowing the outsiders to do the work rong. Howard University Also After the Ananias Penman. Howard University is also after the "Ananlas penman," the same fellow who has been doing the "wildcat" correspondence-ence mentioned above. In a "score-head" article in a New York paper, a few days ago, this mighty scribbar intimates is language plain enough for everybody to understand that certain officials of Howard University are not the same as the rest of the nation's most important means transactions of a questionable character. The animus of the attack is difficult to grasp, but that there is a secret cabal plotting for the downfall of the existing administration is clearly indicated by the matter in the New York paper and other articles of like tenor in a publication of the same year. The fact that the dagger in each case is wielded by the same hand, or is inspired from the same source. The officials of Howard declared that the integrity of the university is as-sailed when it is given out that the trustees could possibly countenance any such a thing. The fact that over "by some one connected with the internal affairs of the school, 'One of ficer pretty broadly states that a criminal prosecution is likely, unless the parties giving publicity to the reports make the proper corrections—assuming that they have been misinformed. In the face of the fact that Howard University is now at its maximum, the public is now at this week enrolled the largest class in its history, the wanton and malicious attack on this splendid school and the aspersion cast against its broad-visioned and public-spirited president, Dr. Newman, is considered extremely out of place. It is our rageous—the acne of inanlas. It is our scavenger who is thus setting Washington out on a hunt for his scald. Miss Hershaw to Teach in Indianapolis. Miss Alice May Hershaw, an honor graduate of the high and normal schools of this city, has been appointed to a position in the Indianapolis, Ind. She left last Saturday to begin her career as an educator in the Hoosier capital. She was highly recommended by the local schools, and is the recipient of hearty "wongratulations" at the hands of her many friends. She has had a successful career in the night schools, and appears to be naturally gifted for the life work she has chosen. Miss Hershaw is the second woman in her career to years a high-grade clerk in the General Land Office, Interior Department, a graduate of Atlanta University, and a teacher in the public school. Mrs. Hershaw is identified with many public movements, is an officer in a number of civic and religious codes, and is a trustee of the University of Indiana. Mrs. Hershaw is scarcely less active in the work of racial uplift. Coming from such desirable stock, the success of Miss Hershaw in her new field would seem well assured. Investigating Garbage and Sewage Conditions. Dr. William J. Thompkins, of Kansas School and former interne of Freedmen's Hospital, has been here for the past forty-night, makes visits to the hospital, and disappears at the garbage and PRICE FIVE CENTS.

Special Agent Taylor Lauds Tuskegee Mr. Ocea Taylor, formerly of the Census Office, now special agent of the United States Bureau of Education, has been spending a few days in the city, following a tour of investigation of school conditions in portions of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. Not long ago Mr. Taylor paid a visit to Tuskegee Institute, and was shown through the many departments of that wonderful place by Dr. Booker T. Washington in person. He is loud in his praises of this "world's university," and declares it to be the most helpful agency for racial uplift to be found in the Southland—or anywhere else, for that matter. In company with the "Wizard of Tuskegee," Mr. Taylor made a thorough study of the counties adjoining the industrial beehive, and noted with pleasure the masterly influence that Tuskegee and its principal is exerting for the constant and steady improvement of educational facilities in the "Black Belt" of Alabama. As editor of the Washington American, some years ago, Mr. Taylor was one of the warmest supporters Tuskegee had in the nation's capital. He is very fond of the work in which he is now engaged, and intends to stick to it for the remainder of his days. "Courier" Manning to Be Recognized. It is whispered in administration circles that a comfortable berth in the government service is to be provided for Mr. Manning, who is large and bored long and earnest for the success of the Democratic party in his State and for the larger party, was not a candidate for the former governor has gone to Dr. G. W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind. and it is asserted by his friends that the giving out of this $5,000 plum prize presidential patronage to the Negro wing of the Hoosier Democracy. They point to Mr. Manning's intimate connection with the Democratic party, the beary indorsement given by the Hon. Thomas Taggart and other leaders of similar influence all over the land. The Negro Democratic League, headed by Alexander Walters, is behind Mr. Manning, and confidence is expressed upon all of them by the President, there will be no difficulty in securing his confirmation at the hands of the Senate. While here, Mr. Manning, and the principal executive departments, and it is said that assurances of a very encouraging nature were given to the President in the meantime, Mr. Manning is saying nothing, but is "saving wood." Two Ideal Treasury Appointments. Two selections of officials in the Treasury Department last week strike the American layman as being ideal from every point of view. The first is that of Mr. Bronx, Newton, who has been made a member of the House of Representatives. Second is the T. R. C.r.i.e.r. of the Public Buildings and Miscellaneous Bureaus. Since the 4th of March Mr. Newton has been serving with rare efficiency and satisfaction as private officer. He has been a member of the Public Buildings and Miscellaneous Bureaus. He has been generous as well as just in his treatment of all who had been a member of the Department from with regard to from without and his promotion is looked up as a logical outcome of a similar initiative. He is also an area-strated through a long siege of very delicate and trying situations. Mr. Newton is well known all over the country as a newspaper man of the finest caliber, and is in touch with every public man of the country. He is known as a贤君, sympathetic and high-purposed and will fit in admirably with the exacting duties that will fall to his lot in handling branches of the department that are not in the hands of the public. He has a wide spread character. That he will give all elements a "square deal" goes without saying. Whether an individual be of high or low estate, in point measure, or of a family, he is not a "friend at court." He will make an ideal assistant secretary, just as he has made a model confidential agent of the head of the department. Mr. Newton is accredited to the State of New York, but is a citizen of the nation at large in spirit and experience. The appointment of Mr. George Cooksey, of the District of Columbia, as private secretary to Secretary McAdos, is a very important part of the public health and safety approved by all who know of his Public Library pjan brilliant record as an attaché of the Associated Press and of his expert familiarity with questions involving government and other five years he has been a mainstay with the department having specialized on the problems connected with the Treasury and Department Justice Mr. Cooksey is particularly adored. He did the work of his department. On all matters coming to his desk he is already a recognized authority. He is an attractive personality and vigorous speaker.

Davis, Solicitor General of the United States, began a determined war against the "grandfather" Southern States, which have for their object the disfranchisement of colored citizens, without in any manner affording them the right to money or education. In a brief filled this week with the Supreme Court of the United States in behalf of the reverent Negroes, the court issued the "grandfather clause", as used, violates the Fifteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution, because it excludes Negroes of color or previous condition of servitude. The case in point comes up from the courts of the State of Oklahoma on an argument that answering the one of the right of the Negroes had been invaded through the operations of the grandfather classes, "answering the one of the grandfather classes", "If the disfranchisement of the illiterate Negro were not its purpose, the clause may be declared a full right of emancipation of minors, and the amendment inevitably discriminates between the class of illiterate whites and illiterate blacks as a class, to the overarching disadvantage of the latter." The case of the colored Knights of Pythias, contending on appeal books for an early hearing in the United States Supreme Court.

NEGRO PROGRESS Unprejudiced Americans realize that the colored race is progressing very rapidly and that each year sees its intellectual standard fast approaching that of the whites. The question is, "What color of colored people dominate?" Mr. D. E. Tobler particle in the "New York Sun" of July 23rd entitled "The Aristocracy of Color" he states that there are certain shades of complexion more influential than others among Negroes; and that no real black man was awarded a Federal Job during the Last Two Administrations.

NEGRO PROGRESS Unprejudiced Americans realize that the colored race is progressing very rapidly and that each year sees its intellectual standard fastly approaching that of the whites. The question is, "What color of colored people dominate?" In Mr. D. E. Tobias' article in the "New York Sun" of July 23rd, entitled "The Aristocracy of Color," he states that there are certain shades of complexion more influential than others among Negroes; and that no real black man was awarded a Federal Job during the Last Two Administrations. We would not like to believe that the color of a man or woman has anything to do with their progress, but we know it has a great deal to do with one's appearance, whether he be black or white.

If you wish to keep abreast of the times you will make your complexion as light as possible, and free it from wrinkles, blotches, chaps, sores and all skin troubles.

It takes a natural-born "husier" to "carry on" about "rumheads." Nobility of soul is often evidenced by an unused power to injure a foe. No more Indians at Hampton Institute, as far as government support is concerned. Let us repeat for emphasis: "It will be Bishop" S. Jackson in 1916 at Loudoun Lake, plunged down. Trouble with the market may be partially responsible for the disappearance of one Col. George W. Chivis. The Red Men do not wish to have black men in their order. Colored folks ought to get along together in better fashion than this. The National Negro Business League needs a national organizer who can organize—not one who merely writes about organizing. Let it be remembered that tact, diplomacy, dimness will win, nine times out of ten, with power, honest and bumptiousness will fail. Popular as it undoubtedly is, in certain circles, the turke trot is not likely to be made a part of the compulsory curriculum of our public schools. G. C. Spandling, of the North Carolina Military Academy, showed up strong at the Philadelphia meeting of the Business League. Oklahoma, as the seat of the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, looms large in the public eye. Oklahoma will "deliver the goods." If an officeholder's social standing is based upon the size of the office he holds, what is his social status when the adjoining officeholder his head is cut off at the neck? The plump ladies need not worry, because the style seem to favor their slim sisters. There are still a lot of us old-fashioned fellows who like a goodly allowance of embroidery. "Be yourself," some wise man has said, "never follow the crowd, if you want the crowd to have initiative, if you want to make people sit up and take notice. Females who have been posing as professional heart-breakers at Atlantic City are not likely to make a high average this winter in the matrimonial free-for-all. The reunion of a married couple who have been giving each other the dickens who have been giving them to them, is but another demonstration of the wisdom of the ancient axiom that "silence is golden." Baltimore is working overtime with its problem of framing a segregation ordinal and the wisdom of the national and state constitutions. Trying to fit a round peg into a square hole, as it were. The result is a "mess." The so-called "Sage of the Potomac," who writes rot for the Washington Bee, is not a gentleman. The fellow who welld the hammer perpetually may make some noise, but he doesn't get anywhere. It is now and old doesn't, but just as true as when it was first uttered by Dr. Katherine Gress is worth a yard of complaint." Complain, if the situation justifies it, but keep on going forward. "Don't stop to growl." The courts have decided that a marriage, unless she chooses to do so, and that a widow is not required by law to appear in the traditional "weeds." Thus the cautious wooer made more dicit. Making a millionaire marry a colored girl whom he debauched is a new winkle in society, yet for years ago a white paper, which made so much fuss about the Jack Johnson case a short time ago, are beautifully silent about this brave individual. The shoe was on the wrong foot. Boley, Oklahoma, a thriving town, conducted in every way by Negroes, is the ideal place to go. Go ahead, it next year, when the National Negro Business League meets at Muskogee, Lawyer G. W. F. Sawner can tell you about the man who will write him at Chandler, Oklah, or sure to pay the marvelous municipality a visit. A Nashville publishing firm has gotten out a literary curio called "The World of the unique argument that the white man must unite for mutual protection, on the ground that at the present rate of production of time dominate the earth. The book is issued by Cullom & Ghtnert, Nashville, Tennessee, reading because of ingenuous reasoning of its author, one Cavalier Money. "Fifty Years of Freedom," a religious jubilee to be held in connection with the meeting at National Baptist Convention at Nashville, September 17, to Monday, September 22, will be a notable event in the history of the United States, promises to be large. The exhibits, denoting the progress of the race, will be displayed at Greenwood Park under the supervision of the worker for mankind, Henry Allen Boyd. The Detroit Plaindealer seems somewhat peeved, because the colored men who fought for President Wilson in season and of out season have had to take the role of the candidate in the election, and many of them are left out in the cold, while one Dr. George W. Buskeer, who is said to have "sat on his chair," is now allowed to go unscathed of criti- tious issues, as the way of the world. The allied "lobster" is often the "wise guy" after all. New papers that have come our way are The Advocate, published at Toledo, and the Christian Review, launched at Philadelphia by Rev. R. W. Goff, editor, and Rev. N. H. Hoster, business manager. Both are well-known authors who should prosper. Both warn their correspondents against bitter and unchristly abuses and attacks. They recognize the need for a certain voice, but it has no place in decent journalism. When progressive things are to be done our women are right on the job. Dr. A. B. Schutzt-Knight, of Chicago, was the first woman on the third jury of women appointed by Judge Owen, the case being the trial of Schutzt-Knight acquitted herself with dignity and her opinions carried great weight with her associates on the jury. She is the first woman to be acquitted in City and is identified with a number of the forward movements of Chicago. Isaac Fisher, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, now teaching near Birmingham, AL, and Louis Post-Dispatch for the best answers to seven questions propounded by that paper. Fisher won out and his color was named the office of the Post-Dispatch. The broad-gauged journal founded by Joseph Pulitzer stood to its guns and paid the price for the share of the battles of life if given an equal chance and fair play. Noah D. Thompson, formerly of Chicago and later of Tuskegee Institute, is now associate editor of a neat-looking paper called Cal. Cal. Mr. Thompson has a liberal share of this world's goods, is also at the head of the Noah D. Thompson paper, and is at the head of a landing a land-office business in disposing of lots for people for moderate means, selling to both races. Mr. Thompson's newspaper business, having been long associated with leading Chicago dailies, and he should prove a valuable asset to the Los Angeles Liberator. BAPTIST WOMEN at NASHVILLE. Convention Biggest and Best in His town—with over $31,000 Raised Over $31,000 Raised The Nashville session of the Woman's Council Convention, was the biggest and best in the history of the organization. No money and doing as much real work much money and doing as much real work as this organization. Miss Nannie E. Burroughs is the executive secretary, and she is conducting the best jubilee the Negroes will receive this year. The souvenir program is a gem, attractive and unique, brimful of memorabilia, and a chance to race in his country. Her unique arrangement in pyramid form of the many achievements of the race has called forth a large number of other device that showed the clever work of a master mind. It, too contained facts touching achievements of the race. A great poster called "implant Trudger" was displayed every state since the first church was started near Savannah, Ga. The state buttons told the number of Baptists in the state after annual represtation discussion. He had a practical discussion all the big problems stamps the woman most capable for the great work to which she was elected for the twelfth time by the Negro cheerers and waving of handkerchiefs. (By John W. Williams.) THE GREAT STORES HELP THE RACE PROBLEM. The Famous and Barr Store, of St. Louis, which recently had its grand opening, employs one hundred and seventy-two employees. The store is twenty-two stories, and said to be the handsonest in the city. The colored people are of Indianapolis and in the ussage, yet it gives very vivid feeling to the great number employed. The stores of Indianapolis and elsewhere are also employing many colored persons. It is not unusual to see men doing as much as they can do by the Neeson treatment permits. There is a little danger that the custom of serving in certain places will become fixed. This will be no calamity, however, so long as a like-minded group of men will time these positions are godsends to the young men and women of the race, who have no prospects of lighter occupation. These merchants are not forced to do what they are doing. They are doing what they know, and they know than they know. Morality largely depends on employment congenial with the individual notion of what he should do. The store has a wholesome resignation to fate. The individual does not care what he does. It does not care what he does. A little appreciation often saves. These proprietors are saving, perhaps, without thought of anything beyond a sense of obligation, for the patronage of Negroes.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION When it comes to America's poets, James Whitcomb Riley is a sort of a last of the Mohicans. Andy Kreitlein, well known in business circles, is announced as a candidate for the board of school commissioners. Mr. Kreitlein says that he will watch carefully the interests of all if chosen. He solicits the votes of all. He is an upright citizens and deserving of consideration. Senator Vardaman in announcing his anti-Negro intentions recently omitted his proposed rape of the Constitution. Association begets assimilation, is an old saw, yet it seems to be well exemplified in the Vardaman case. He doubtless has found on going to Washington that nothing was doing what he was thinking about. Aent the Governor Sulzer impeachment case; if all of those in office were put out who failed to report to a penny their campaign expenses, there would not be a sufficient number of persons left to run the government. The fact does not help the governor, but it shows that the prosecution is malignant rather than righteous. Lee L. Brown, of Louisville, the colored candidate for the legislature of Kentucky, has a fighting chance for election, scarcely more. The registration of a few days ago was as follows: Democrats, 855; Progressives, 571; Republicans, 643, and the Independents, 171. Mr. Brown figures on getting the whole Republican vote and a part of the Progressive and Independent votes. His prospects are good, and speculative, even if not bright. James Whitcomb Riley was in it this week, last Tuesday, which was another one of his birthdays. Just which one is not a thing of general publicity. He is essentially a poet of the children, but he has written something for everybody. Take him, all and all, he is a poet of the people. His poems are mostly as moving pictures of those phases of life which most of us know most about. Those phases, like the real pictures of ourselves by the photographers, are touched by a master hand. But we know ourselves, for all that—through what has been, what is and what is yet to be! Riley, at once childlike and profound, simple and sublime, humble and glorious, stands alone, the one name of American poesy, at this time, that reads well with all of those that have gone before. REV. DR. J. W. WOOD In the Interest of Girls' Dormitory, Livingstone College. Rev. Dr. Wood, secretary of missions of the A. M. E. Zion church, after a stay of ten days in this city, Indianapolis, has gone to his field of labor. By the way, the doctor has been assigned a new duty. He will travel in the interest of the girl's dormitory of the Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., a position to which he was appointed by Dr. Goler, president of the institution. Dr. Wood will first go to Morristown, Tenn., in the interest of his new work. He will tour Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia within the year, closing with Alabama, where he will spend considerable time. The church, he says, at this time is in a better condition than ever before. From every direction good reports come in as to the progress being made in Alabama, being to the church this year, being $20,000 in excess of that of the last two years. The membership is increasing, and the church is growing in popularity, generally. Rev. Dr. Wood is favorably mentioned for the episcopal bench. In fact, his useful activities in connection with his character, ability and experience as a candidate whether he cared to make the fact of his candidacy known or not. THE EX-SLAVE PENSION MOVE MENT; Mrs. Callie D. House, secretary of the ex-slave pension movement, was in the city last Monday. She was on her return home to Nashville, Tenn., from Wash.'s *ton*. D. C., where she had met and conferred with members of congress relative to the movement. She expressed herself as satisfied at its progress, having faith as to a final outcome for good. The Freeman has not had a large stock of faith in the hoped-for end of the ex-slave pension movement. We have not opposed it because in our opinion something is due the aged slaves who now find themselves more or less dependent on charity. But it is up to the newspapers and leaders of public thought and expression to speak to the people, the race, out of a clearer vision of things. If we know what is good for us we will not assist in befuddling the people, regardless of our hopes and desires. The ex-slave pension movement was founded in good. The promoters seem to be honest, earnest persons whose chief thought is to relieve the distress of aged Negroes who were once slaves. Such a movement, on its face, if seems, would at once dai mthe attention of philanthropy, and on the thee side of the nation, the bounty of the nation, they having served so well without reward. If that were the only side, we think that long ere this ample provision would have been made for the deserving ex-slaves. The other side. Aye, there's the rub. The masters lost their investments, their governmental-sanctioned investments, investments countened by the laws, legal investments. Perhaps it may be held that it is not up to us to push that end of the proposition. Yet, unless we take a larger view, seeing the situation as a whole, we will fall in rendering to the people what is due them. The former owners are quiet enough in the matter of pay for slaves, but that's no sign that they are indifferent to the object of the slave movement. If they thought there was a reasonable show for the punishment scheme, they would become active enough, insisting on remuneration for their losses. And this would be right and reasonable in view of the facts. We stand for homes for the ex-slaves who find themselves without means and without relatives and friends on whom to depend. It is shameful if a single one suffers want in any form that can be ordinarily supplied. The theory of Christianity, of any religion, or humanity, revolts at the thought of these who forcibly gave away their youth and strength to others. We stand for homes find themselves in the discard—useless and hopeless. We stand for homes for these, anywhere, everywhere, as freely as those provided for the old soldiers who come and go as freely as the waters that flow. WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON MAY MEAN. President Wilson is being tried by the race for what seems to be his neglect of Negro applicants for office and for his seeming indifference to the segregation movement in the offices at Washington. The following note was found circulating about in the recent Washington dispatches: "Representative Henry George, of New York, who desired to recommend several Negroes in his district for appointment to federal offices, called at the White House today to learn President Wilson's attitude on such appointments. Mr. Wilson told the New York representative to ascertain the sentiment of members of the senate on that question." The President does appear cool, formal, indifferent, and perhaps studiously so. It strikes us that he has a method in it all. If he were studiously indifferent, it is not unreasonable to think that he will have occasion to act in our behalf in a more seasonable time. For instance, there has been much anti-Negro legislation proposed. More than one congressman owes his seat in that body to Negro hostility. It means that we may expect some hostile demonstration in congress within a year or so at the furthest. If not, then so much the better. We are in opposition to calamity shriekers, nor do we intend to enlist in the same cause; but we will not get away from the fact that men went to congress with the Negro as the paramount issue. We hope that sanity has tamed them, converted them as St. Paul, when going to Damascus by that overvoice of reasoning, and in consonance with the latter-day humanities. It may be that the President holds himself in splendid reserve, as it were, knowing the probable legislation yet to be attempted. He may stake all on the one thing of nullifying by his veto any legislation that he believes is harmful to Nepal citizenship. It's no flight of imagination to think this. Mr. Vardaman, of Mississippi, has promised his constituents the mullification of those parts of the Constitution that established Negroes as citizens. He is not alone. President Wilson, before election, avowed most beautifully and most solemnly that he would see to it that nothing of profound ill should befall us. Were he only an ordinary citizen, bound by ordinary ties to stand for righteousness, we could not think of him failing at the test. But he is no ordinary citizen; he is bound by more than ordinary ties to preserve the Negroes in their rights, essentially. He has the honor of a great schoolman, whose business it has been to teach and essence—its quintessence, and as we think it, an embodiment of the thing he has, in addition, the honor of him who heads a nation, and to who mute citizens look up to pretty much as children to to respectful fathers. How can he escape his duty in event Mr. Vardaman et al. press him? Again we insist that it may be the President's intent to throw himself in the breach when the essentials of citizenship are threatened. Until then it may be necessary for him to act in accord with his party in the smaller, although allied, states of the United States, refuse of offices and such like. Who knows but what President Wilson is reserving a trump card against a fearful possibility? DALLAS, TEX. The Paper Ahead! Each Week—Why the Goal Cannot Be Reached. (By Col. J. G. Griffin, Freeman Head quarterback, Street; M. P. 1872.) (M. P. 1872.) Will the messes of the race sit all by and let the foreigners come into America and take from them their only chance to make a living at such work that hereto-to-work will be made up of all of the race who have had to serve in the capacity of waiters, barbers, porters, barkeepers, janitors, messengers, bullers, robbers, and other employees. Theிரs, hobbes, chosers, expressmen, dressmakers, nurses, ebooks and every other kind of work that members of the race have been doing to do with them are an important part of the time. The thinkers who go about daily here and there, who are not accustomed to seeing white races doing so, are jobs of the most important. It is to be seen who must have something to do to double their energy, with honesty, punctuality, reliability, and be on the job. Out of the time they are always in the care of others, who are a trong, and install a strictly business. As a motto to meet the needed demand of the times, to be rightfully created as a human, to be rightfully created as a man, to be rightfully created as a man, serve. Make it an absolute principle, and that in a moral sense, so that nothing else will be pushed into your parts of life and the world. The world is the whole world of others who are hired to serve the public in the same capacity. By so doing you will help to protect both yours and others from the risk of being unhealthier or firm that may need to be the time of life. The world is the only way to be treated, which will do away with it to be treated, which will do away with it to be treated, which will do away with it to be treated, which will do away with it to be treated. The world is the only way to be so for their day only. It will help to establish a protection for the better, and those who care for others will be the better. The world is the only way to be the better, and those who care for others will be the better. THE FREEMAN.

The social side of life is often brought up against our colored folks in business. Let every Negro who has been spending his or her hard-earned dollars with the white flames mall to me ask for help. We socially entertained their Afro-American customers on the line that many of the race do kick about and lay causes, and with the colored merchants, and there will be something doing for a time to come in these columns, to your credit. The unreliability on the part of some members of the race everywhere must be borne by others who have got something to sign a bond, a doctor, stand for the medicine or the for sending some money one to his home, who has lost his health.

Up to date the Plutos have not found a club that was strong enough to keep them from scoring, while the Red Devils have shut the door in twenty clubs, forcing the Spruceids falling victims on three teams.

(By Sylvester Russell.) The day of competition, which has so arrogantly trotted to dawn upon the peaceful promenade of the theatrical State theater, has quiet resilient of white managers who run colored theaters. It was a nice thing for colored performers, even if they are not the ones who supply new houses. In changing the policy of the Merit theater, Manager Fred Howson has not only kept in pace with the colorful theaters, but offers a defiance to opposition by booking colored acts over a white local circuit in Chicago, to save performers the unfair expenses.

There was more than one song bird, but Nettle De Coursey was the real artist-star of the show at the Grand last Monumental Stroll, which had a good singing chorus, a fine ladies' quartette and two clever end men. "Garden of Sunshine and Tears" by the band Reed was a good specialist-in-general, especially in his parodies. Arthur Cain was also a good comedian and with the Transgender gave a good music. The colored picture was highly adjectified, presented the National Baptist Jubilee, Fisk University, Mehary Medical College, and Booker T. Washington, who was also a well-known preacher, veered by his people. The pictures were especially good.

Because of a continual new variety novels, large houses are now the rule. Jim White and Erb Robinson Make a Hit at the States Theater.

Of Unbroken Progress IS THE RECORD MADE BY THE National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America. LOCATED IN Little Rock, Ark. This order was organized in 1882 by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts, two Negroes, and has long since passed the experimental stage. Half Million Dollars Paid to Widows and Orphans The National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America conducts Disability, Endowment and Burial Departments, and through these departments has paid to widows and orphans and beneficiaries of deceased members the enormous sum of a Half Million Dollars. Substantial Proof of Reliability Failures and frauds have been so numerous in organizations of this character that the public is naturally skoptical. We cite you the following evidences of our reliability, and same may be verified by spending a little time investigating: The order is now erecting a National Temple Building in Little Rock Ark., at a cost of $60,000, the same being erected out of the order's surplus funds, and no extra building tax of assessment has been levied upon the members. This has never been heard of in the history of fraternal orders. This order has never levied an extra tax upon its members to pay off any kind of obligation, and not a single instance can be cited during thirty-two years, where the order has failed to meet promptly its just obligations to the people. In our Endowment department, the ninety-day waiver, which appears in most certificates, has never been taken advantage of, because the order has always had sufficient funds to meet its claims whenever proof of death is made. Our Endowment department is national and has been inspected from time to time by various insurance commissioners. The order has come out of each inspection with flying colors. As we grow older, instead of decreasing, our Endowment surplus is growing, as the following will show: A Lesson in Figures Rates per Year and Benefits Paid. Men's Department, $11.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $3 per week; burial, $50. Women's Department, $8.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $2 per week; burial, $50. Children's Department, $1.85 per year; endowment, $50; sick benefits, $1 per week; burial, $20. The above rates include all taxes, local lodge, state and Supreme Grand Lodges. The endowment policies of $300 are graded and payable as follows: Should death occur during the first twelve calendar months, $190; after the first twenty four calendar months, $200; after the first thirty-six calendar months, $300. Local Lodge Divisions The order operates in four divisions, and charter fees for organizing new lodges are as follows: Temples for adult males, cost of charter, $15; Chambers for adult females, $15; Palaces for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Rank, cost of charter, $5. Opportunities for Organizers The order is now conducting a nation-wide campaign for members and is allowing organizers the most liberal contract ever given by any fraternal order in the world. During the past twenty-four months we have organized 600 new lodges. Some organizers have earned as high as $200 per month. We allow organizers, under extension plan, to set up local lodges for price of the charter fee. For organizers, the minister would set up temple of sixty men at 82 acres, that would amount to $120. His charter would cost $15, leaving him a net profit of $105. We are anxious to engage active young men and women in all parts of the United States to organize lodges. Especially are we anxious to secure organizers in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York and Kansas. This offer will not remain open indiscretely, and you had better write today for terms. Address all communications to Wm. Alexander, N. G. M., 504; W. Ninth St., Little Rock, Arkansas.

Mile Young, the clever little wire walker of the Geyer's Minstrels, left Chicago to spend a week at Renaissance in where he met the Woods and Miss Daisy Starly, all of Renaissance, bringing trips white on his vacation, then he will return to the Windy City, where he will again join the show, which is laying out, setting a new car that is being built. Emma Keyes and Chinese Walker formed a team, "Chinaman and Dancing Girl," on the 9th of August and in this short time have played some of the biggest theaters in and around New York, having taken over the time. This week, first half, Proctor's 12th station on Broadway, Miss Keyes was formerly of Gordon and Keyes, Chinese Walker was well known as Pinkie and still they say we should "I so Loong." John W. beams writes from the J. M. Buzzy Minstrels: "Opened for a week in Omaha, Neb., at the Krieg Theater. Our boys met many old friends and made many new friends while in Omaha. We had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Dan Desmond, the boys met many old friends and they were all musicians of merit. We also not the Morton Bros, and they were the Morton Bros, and they were the Busty Minstrels that played our Omaha Minstrels that played Jimi Harris and Cory Herndon, who were rehearsing and staging a No. 2 show for our Omaha Minstrels. We all wish to record to the profession." AT THE CRESCENT THEATER COLUMBIA, S.

Trying a Little Rough 'House at the Crown Garden. Indianapolis. For the benefit of acts who are so filled in importance that they feel too good to handle the colored man, who has gone through the process of training him to him still realize a few shillings, the white brother has become with the longer cares to his services. When he wishes to help the white man he is polite, prompt and sober; to be if he wishes to earn the salary he has been promised. Never before had he seen anything that could because I felt there was no need, as if no other man, can command a complete change of circumstances that now surpasses the salary he sck in bed. I subtle the management of me to my wife and my friend. I must be the man that has the Russells and me secure two tickets for them, costing me $7.40 for the two. They arrived unexpected on Monday. They were informed that the manager was sck, but the manager was not at once demanded to be removed from the office as he did not like the position. He was informed that the boss ordered the bill man that was. Few people has appeared drunk, and knocked a soff the stage: in the act of performing that he got some cork on his wife's dress. mortal combat. The stage manager interfered, as the noise was too great for the audience. He was unable to settle them, as John Barleycorn was king. At that hour my wife phoned me, asking what best to do. My answer, after learning the facts, was to cancel the act. The act was canceled, but the Russells were not satisfied with the way they had caused my audience to feel, and came to the front and grossly insulted my wife, to the extent that a policeman had to be called. Now, if there be any more of these ill-bred acts who feel that they must insult my audience and my wife, I would advise you not to come here, as I might be well next time. What men do against me, I care not. Why? Because I am prepared for life's battles, and I pay no attention to these little things. That's why I am ahead and they are behind.

His popularity is unparalleled, and the management is compelled to continue the engagement. Watts told the audience that though Billy has many partners, he always brings a good one. Smith, Syspress and Smith, in "The Piano Movers," had only a fair opening, but picked up later that evening. His act has a remarkable voice and is a nice pianist. With a new dialogue this would be a good act. The men need comedy, and the audience needs to kiss Brown and Harris carried off all honors. The pictures were a grand success. BALTIMORE, MD., THEATERS. The Daly. The week of the 29th was a full and complete success for this house. From Monday, the 29th until Saturday, the 4th, there was an S. R. O. sign on the outside of the door from 7:35 until 11:45. The house was packed to its full capacity. Mr. Daly was all-smiles throughout the week. Mr. Hamilton, as a young man who is striving for the top, really deserves great credit for his work. Managers should give him a chance as an arranger of amusements. This week the Hill sisters, Mr. J. W. Hamilton says hello, Kid Jines, Geo. Bundy and Lew Henry. Mr. Robert Giles, the silver-tongue orator, says of the France's New York Minstrels, is at home, and sends best regards to all in and out of the profession. Address, 508 East street, Baltimore, Md.

It affords us great pleasure to say that we are glad to have one man stick to us for the betterment of all and to enable him, by our pleasing work, to keep us from being too dependent on him, we will be able to enlarge his circuit so that we can play twenty-five or thirty weeks without repeating the same only by request. This is our first time on the Dudley time, and so far we can truly say that we are glad to have the very best we've got and are doing fine. We hope that Mr. Dudley will succeed in getting more houses, for the better ment of us all. Yours truly, JEFFERY & DELYONS, MILTON & LAYON, CRISWELL & BALEY, TYLER & GRWOOD, JOHNNY WOODS, JOHN W.

Pugh and Pugh AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. Tim E. Owsley, Manager Capacity business at the Crown Garden last Monday night. All through the week business continued first class, proving the quality of the entertainment. The staff were eager to seeing. Manager Owsey has been sick abed this week, but his faithful wife and other assistants held the fort. However, the staff were busy by wire at all times with the house, and a very good thing, too. On Monday evening it was necessary for him to direct affairs from his sick bed. And he did it in no soon forget. THE TWO SWEETS, WILLIE AND LULA. Kid Character Performers. Their character was adapted by the Garden Gardener, Come when they may, often as they may, they are always good. They are always good. They are always good. That is, they do not exaggerate but very little. Miss Sweet can child in such a way as to make one forget that she is just playing, but, of course, the advantage is can be said of her male partner; but, of course, the advantage is that she is a woman, hence it is easier for her to be childish. Miss Sweet has got the splendid dress and very little. A shake of the head, a sentence now and then, a romp, occasionally jumping up and down, tells the story. Of course, she adds the dress and styling style she takes of her mother. MARTIN AND MOTELY. Refined Entertainers. Martin and Motely are known to the Crown Garden patrons, having played there before in the Park. The Porter and the Crown Garden are back in the new act, and a good one. Martin is very good, having the style of the best performers, regardless of color. Rosa Kerns is a great stage manners and her nice singing. In these respects she made a good impress- MARTIN AND MOTLEY. sion. She is a young performer, and has steadily improved, until she now performs among the elite performers Martin and Motely will be at the Star Theater, Pittsburgh, next THELMA THE GREAT. Haven't heard Thelma? Haven't seen them before? What's that thing. This man does a splendid woman character, one that defies detection unnaturally. He's a short-cropped man head. He is wedded to his art. His gowns are stunning, also lists his clothes. The men envy his costume. The men envy him until the "fatal uncovering," when more than one was heard to say, "Well, NEW YORK NEWS. The Lincoln Theater This house had a good show all week, opening with Julian Edwards, female im-personator, who went big. Robinson and Ramsey, a sister act, did nicely. Marie Bailey was well received. The Arms Billy and Grace went fine. Mrs. Grace Arnt made the hit of her life when she sang "Easy Ridder." Billy Arnt is also very clever. The team closed the bill and left them screaming. Arthur Benard, in his Italian act, did very well: Peat and Hays are favorites here, and always go big. Harry Ashton, as an Irish comedian, is very clever, and kept them laughing from start to finish. The Arnts again brought up the rear and closed the bill, leaving the audience well pleased. Lafayette Theater. Ludla Blaisdell, the living statue, was seen in some great posses and pleased with the traction, assisted by Dot Keller, a very clever pianist, did well. These two work fine together. Flo and Wynne, a sister of the opening one, opened her opening one pulls her wig, making her appear as a boy. She then exits, leaving the other to sing. Then the two run out and join the part in hand, looking the part of some swolde dude. She plays and acts the part well. They close their act leaving the other to play the part in a man or woman. They were quite a bit on this bill, Luckstone and Campbell, the Dutch woman and the inspector, did a nice act. Another act—please excuse the big overgrown hams, a man and woman by the name of McDonald and Williamson, the new to have some great big overgrown hams. It should have been a bunch of bricks. They were extra, and only lasted Pugh and Pugh, High-Class Enter- Recent acts at the Crown Garden show that the performers are giving unusual attention to their wardrobe. This is particularly true of this act. Miss Pugh appears on the set of the movie Beautiful Miss Teanow's tango crown, a Parisian creation. The costume made EMANUEL E. PUGH. an impression on the female portion of the audience. Remarks were heard in straits of her, however, she does not do her tango dance in this gown. She has one, resplendent gold in effect, looking quiet and innocent enough in repose, but when she dances it open as freely as the petals of a rose, permitting the necessary movements of her limbs. The team enters singing "Teach Me there's an innocence about what she does that might not appear so in some one else. She knows what to do to make it happen. Wille Two Sweet, as said when he was here before, is the cleverest boy in the room. He plays the booby, permitting all sorts of pranks to be played on him. He stands for it all. He writes his own songs and sings them with such evidence of understanding that it dignity is seen through song and rendition. The team concluded to do their old act at this, their return engagement within two weeks, with the only difference is two songs one of them by request. They are: "Mamma Don't Allow No Easy Talking Here" and "Mamma Don't Know Where I Am At." The audience is thrilled by the performance, sang a parody on "You Certainly Look Good to Me" and "Snoopy Newkoms," entertaining. The Two Sweets will be at the Monogram, Chicago, next week. show the layed the in the very per- Rosa one show. The Vaughner & Holiday company came through with some real redhot stue. The act consists mostly on high-class singing, in which the ladies have a fine chance to display their talent as singers, and they do. Holiday hits the place of the straight man, while Vaughner successfully furnishes the com- edy. They have a nice act and it was Housley and Nichols, two real actors, stormed the show with their own original way of putting the stuff over which they had any and every bill. Try and hear them do that cornet and violin duo; then you walk away with some extra attraction. These boys are going to make everybody stop and take notice after a while. They are talkers, dancers, and sing very well. They are more well-used, well-used, Barton, extra, did well. In the last half, Mexican Herman and company, in a comedy magic and illusion act, were good. They were good. Majestic Trio went big. Jane Rose and company, in an act, "The Girl from Horsehead Desert was great." Housley and Nichols again closed the show with a scream. Crescent Theater Curran and Maxwell, in their Italian act, went fair. La Cosa went big. Blycone, the unridable mule, was the act of the actress. Borgia and Livingstone did another one of their acts which was a record breaker. In the last half were the New Boys, quite a number of them, but rather a poor act, with a great sense of humor well. Clarence Powell, one of the old school, and star of the Georgia Minstrels for years, did a monologue full of humon and wit. His songs were good. Mr. Powell was the best of them, his own in working that catches an audience. He was the hit of the bill. The Mississippi Trio was good, and their singing and dancing pleased. This week those two were on the boards. Family Theater. Davis and David did just fair. Palmer and Woods was another one of those bum acts, that should be closed in every house. They would be allowed to maybe they would allow some one to write a real act for them, with which they would be able to do it. They did very well. They are good dancers, Washburn and Piper did a good act and were well received. So were Brodacnexus, who the white Nehols was sick, played in the play they had booked. The act went very good. Pioneer Theater The Nelson Crosby Triw was a tremendous big hit at this house. Peat and Walker were at the same. Murphy and Walker were a riot. This Monday, the Arms, Billy and Grace. Franklin Theater We are still having pictures here. The feature is Elkirk, the Arizona Kid. 59th Street Theater The stock has closed here, and the show is again straight vaudeville. This week Kauce Crayn, the Billibhs and others, Show very good. Sapro and Winfrie are in the last half at the Halsey, Brooklyn. "Sorry to say it, but the Billy Ward, 'Dear Billy,' the show closed soon after its opening, and everybody is back in dear old New York. Those two fellows, Williams and Stevens are at the Crescent this week. For how long, did you say? Until they get tired, thank you. J. Lubrie Hill's show is expected to take the road now at any time. Everything is about ready. It's being whispered around that Williams and Stevens are going out this season. THEATRICAL NEWS. (By Billy E. Jones.) Julius Glenn and Miss Alice Ramssey were joined in wedlock recently, and both send regards to friends. Billy E. Jones, eccentric comedian and vocalist, Miss C. Keys, the charming little singer and dancer, and Andrew Burns, the real funny comedian, are three cheerful writers who pose the Brooklyn dancers. They will open of the That Beautiful Love," giving a pretty version of their own. The opening is a winner. The male painter gives over some jokes and gags that wont big. Miss Pugh is straight helped in giving a go to Mr. Pugh's comedy. His dancing is about the oldest seen on the Crown Garden stage. He sang "Buzzin' Around," which was well received. LIZZIE B. PUGH. of Miss Pugh sang in a dainty, taking way d in "O Beautiful Son." This song is really dance, too pretty for the title, also too pretty for sang. In effect it is a beautiful lyric. It does close with "You Are Going to Wish taking You Had Me Back," ending up with the pretty tango dance. They do this in fine the style, being set out by their vocumes, especially that of Miss Pugh. Pugh and Pugh at the Monogram, Chicago, next Me week. large houses in New York City in a novel, original singing and comedy skit, featuring their hit, the "International Rag." Mme.

Fairyland Theater Another week of good pictures, featuring "Saved in Midair," "Their Lives by a Thread," "A Traitor to His Country," and other others that were good, to good crowds. Navy Theater. The Stewart Brothers stormed them here at this house. They are a good team. Dink is really funny, even when of the stage. A good collection closes the bill. Grand. Madame Pauline Crampton and Bill Bailey make a nice act, and pleased their audience, giving entire satisfaction. A selection of picture features closes a nice bill. S. H. Dudley. The Helmans opened the bill here with his sunscreen, his sunscreen, his sunscreen, King and Gee. And allow to whisper that when Ellie and Lotie applauded, they were worthy of mention. We have seen them all, and there is not a better dressed team than them. None. Same good pictures and crowds. Chelsea Theater Buster and Rockpile, nature's pure tools in fun and frolic, fast and furious, cleaned their bodies and danced their way into instant favor, being as good an act as ever played here. The feature pictures were good. **Blue Mouse Theater.** Mr. Chuck Todd, this house, after being closed several months, with success, and if the crowds of the past good collection of pictures pleased the crowds, the best of which was "The Beaten Paths." Leon Toone, the vanguard who has seen, Johnny Woods. He will never make good colored time, as little Sammy is too proficient in the use of profane language. Mr. Cutch is a hunter and will make good.

EPH WILLIAMS Last week, through my friend, Mrs. Pugsley, whom I've known for a number of years, I met the Mrs. Prof. Eph Williams, who was managing her husband's famous Silas Green Co. She was attractive, well groomed, characteristic and good natured, endowed with the necessary executive ability to handle her husband's big show with ease. Apparently she is an inspiration to every member of the show. I had engagements for my magical entertainment both nights they played, which was much to my credit. However, their name here is a household word.

We are now entering into "Bam," and we may add, with fear and trembling lest at any time we make an mistake, and, oh, we need to fear the despot's hand when by the school the church spire stands," and so we will go on and as the old song goes, "We need to fear the despot's hand." We certainly approve of the petition God. While it may not help us much, it will go to show that we don't approve of playing Ponca, Oka, and some of our people by the government by the people and for the people.

He was well known by almost every beloved performer and a number of his friends, and appeared in this city from time to time. For the past six or seven years he was a part owner with Mr. Henry Elliot of the Savoy café at Carlisle and John streets. Less, as Mr. Blackburn was more familiarly known, took sick over a year ago, and both of them were about four months. He suffered from a complication of diseases.

The bill was composed of Charlie Wise, the owner of the Lake and Luke, Chas, J. and Mabel E. Arran, and last, but not least, comes the original Jimmy Wise, our worthy stage manager. The bill greeted them with bows and some more bows. This being a return engagement for Arran and Arran, the people greeted them with bows and some more bows. This being Ethelyn and Lake's first appearance. They were declared the classiest two that have ever played the Pike and the man who was the best performer procuring the very best talent that can be secured in a colored house. It is unquestionably the best bill because the bill was an all-star bill here without a doubt. Get wise, managers, and get a bill like this; just the same as the bill of the other brothers and sisterly; everybody likes cacher and works hard. The bill could not be beat. It is hard to tell who made the bill and what the management is so swell at the Pike. Nur sed. NEW ORLEANS, LA. Rosebud Theater; E. A. Biflet, Propietor; H. G. Cailloux, Manager.

Hoboken Fighter Earns Honors in Seven Out of Ten Rounds at Madison Square Garden—No Knockdowns Scored, but Each Is Staggered. NEW YORK—Joe Jeanneville, of Hoboken, earned a match with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight title by outpitting Sam Langford in the first round. He went the limit at hibernation, A.C. the night of October 3. Jeanneville clearly outboxed Langford in seven out of ten rounds, but scored a knockdown, but each staggered his opponent once. At the finish Langford's right eye was slightly pitted. Jeanneville his lips slightly pitted. Jeanneville did not show a mark when he left the ring. It was not a great battle, such as the one they fought nearly two years ago, but the knockdown. Jeanneville blocked the majority of Sam's right books to the face, deleting them either to his neck or to Langford was the first to enter the ring. He was a wild green robot who was splashed with pink flowers. Jeanneville followed his opponent closely. Joe The fray started with Jeannette circling along the fray along the flanking left to Sam's face. In making a will swing, Joe slipped down the fray to the end of the溯河, and a kept boring in and finalized a stiff left to the neck. Joe then made a hard right to Sam's stomach, and repeated the dose. After the planted in Sam's face was tore. Joe stopped in and planted a left to Sam's stomach. Sam landed a left on Joe's shoulder just as the bell runs.

He was so hard right to look to the jaw. Sam repeated, but the munch landed on the neck. Joe confined his courts to Langford's stomach and was so right to be right to be right to be right to be right to face, Langford sending left and right in quick succession that landed with glancing force on Joe's face. Sam sent two hooks on the back of the ball. Langford had the better of the round as he was the aggressor throughout. Langford kept off top of eJannette early in the first round. He would not be jigged because of the time he was on the back of the face around. Both clinched repeatedly with Langford doing the greater damage to Joe's stomach at close quanches. Both tried to uphold the strategy to make the back of the back and be a good, unleashed but will not hard punches, Lannett began to work back fast and so on.

As close quarters Sam ripped up three punches which landed on Joe's shook Langford up with a hard left to the face and followed it up with a hard right uppercut. Sam rushed into a clench. Sam tried to punch, but Langford pulled the punch. When Langford went to his corner his seconds patched up his right eye. Langford started the cigar round and his left hand was as soon as his cushion of his corner, but before he could start another blow Joe hooked his two with lefts to the face. Langford but his left hand was right and left hooks, but the blues were blocked. Joe began to close up Langford's right eye with a short left hook. He two left to Langford's face without a return.

The Proposed Smith and Langford Scraps—Some More Views as to the Failure—The Importance of the Failure—Failed—Langford Loses to Jeannette. (By Billy Lewis.) Last week I tried to show in a general way the cause of the failure of the proposed Smith-Langford bout. Considerable more testimony is in a lawsuit against the match to be called off. It appears that an opinion was asked of Attorney-General Carmody concerning that "mixed bouts could be prohibited, provided there was no discrimination against colored boxes because of their color." Carmody also argued that commission legal right to make special rules, regulations and amendments to govern the sport, but that a Negro had as much right to box in a licensed club as a white boxer. He went on to say that a mixed bout could be prohibited by the commission if in its opinion, it might prompt disorder or bitter This ruling is notably fair, and different to what I conceived it to be before我 thought it would be wrong, it was not thought that the attorney ever erased the match. One thinks of the beautiful construction of his opinion, and it was not thought that the attorney ever as indifferent is when he says "that a mixed bout could be prohibited by the commission" it should have been denied. But it was not thought that the disorder or bitter mental feeling." Sure, sure, if there were such a possibility it should have been denied. But it was not thought that the commission should have been as fair as the attorney-general. If it had been left to him, judging by the tend of the court, he would have bout, I do not mean that he would have personally cared for it. He would have done it. No do I mean to say that he would have stood for the go if he saw that race friction was probable. Of course, there was a result of competition in any field when colored and whites are competitors. And it would be a result of commission fits as a result of competition fits. But it would have since the thing of race feeling is general, and unless it reaches the acute stage, matters will find out to right on as if everything is likely. Here follows comment seen in a leading newspaper. "Various stories are in circulation. It was said that word had come from Albany that certain political influences that that it was one-sided and that the almost certain knocking out of Smith by the Tar Baby would result in a crusade against boxing in the state of New York and that the public would be bullied. As a matter of fact enemies of the Garden A. C. were spreading the fake story several days ago, and through investigation, were sure that the bout would be honestly contested." Joe Woodman, Langford's manager, got all riled up about the matter as he should have been, and he spoke slightly about Mr. Woodman, even if Sam is his "meal ticket." He has had to confront Tar Baby. He has against the word with that supreme confidence that has made Sam something to dread. And he has had a good thing all right. If all or no colored people were white folks as Sam Langford has proven to Joe Woodman—peaches! I think that when Sam turns a $10,000 trick his black face is very beautiful to Joe. Here is "This is a clear case of discrimination. If I am convinced that the three members of the commission, by their vote, made the damages against each of them and also against the state of New York. Of course it would be a waste of time to apply for a lawsuit against each of them. A. C has cancelled the bout. But Langford has legal rights and under the Levy law I am told that he can collect damages. There will hardly be any collection for damages. As was said last week in this column that the commission appeared fair in that the races were merely held apart, one being as much as in the way it appears on the surface. But there's no need of again threeding out that little piece of duplicity. Gunboat Smith is a sort of the last of the Mobicans among the white hopes. They have fought among themselves, none of the mhaving within him the invincible stuff plain and unmistakable. Smith had been laid upon the shelf in a way. That is, it was thought that Morris, Palmer Flynn, McCarty, were better men and that one of them would be able to meet Johnson with success. These men have proved failures as first class white hopes, and finally the searchlight was directed toward Gunboat Smith. But those versed in the doings of the ring would not give it out that even Smith was the man to meet Johnson, nor would they agree that he was the man to meet Langford with success. And thereby hangs a tale. It created sentiment in opposition to the go in New York. The commission was influenced to act so as to preserve the character of the sport. Yet one will think that if the white boxer had a show, without doubt, to top the Negro, the bout would not have been declared off. The Negro boxers may meet Negro boxers, is the ruling of the commission. This is the case in the film Wide this was meant none too seriously, yet it is that in its strictest sense. The Negroes cannot compete in the general contest where the big doubles are, but must content themselves with being side show attractions. This would not matter a little to them if they were in the same kind of love. Well, the major Sam has fallen, and at the hands of Joe Jeannette, who was considered the weaker of the big four Negro fighters—Johnson, McVey, Langford, Jeannette. The sporting world did not expect to see a Negro boxer off in New York on October 3. But the story is told when it is known that Langford entered the rina weighing practically the same weight as the frame is not made to carry so much excess obesity—so much fat—dead weight. Langford was fettered in the effort to be amenable. He is below the average height. His weight when in action before he has grown fuller, yet he cumberms himself with all that extra flesh. The same frame work that withstood his former pounds was the same consequence. What results was the moral consequence. His defeat is disappointing. Jeannette, the tailender of the "quarterette," does him much work. He is not the only mieried to the last of the group, and from where he is threatened by scores of heavyweights. Alas, poor Sam! "Farewell to Jeannette has not been without admirers. The Hoboken pug has been coming up for quite a while, his recent past scraps, and he has been a significant. He won them all, whatever they may have amounted to. This fact kept it mini-impetuous until he was significantly more reputed. But it is plain to see that he was losing no time in getting in a fight, and his decisive beyond the fact that Jeannette outclassed Langford, who without doubt failed through his own assaults. He will remain to be seen. If Johnson remains idle too much he will also take on too much flesh and blood, and with proper man remembrance done. From the turn of things, Jeannette has the call in America, and will have until one Jack Johnson returns to us to unleash him. Should he fail, then all Joe Jeannette!

Both are big, tough artists, and on October 6, on the staircase colored men are stacked to box ten rounds. There is much talk of this big match and the tall salute that comes to the tall staircase attendance to cheer the winner of this main event. While little has been known of Mr. Hoy, only by the reading in past matches, the tall staircase took place throughout Indiana.

MILWAUKEE—Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champions, will meet in a ten-round no-decision game at Chicago on May 13. The former champions will meet at catch weights. Wolgast will train on his Michigan, farm and Nelson will work out in Chicago. PHILLADEPHIA—Tommy Howell, the Italian welterweight, defeated Young Jack O'Brien in the windup at Olympia, where he won the season. Howell proved too strong for O'Brien, who had considerable advantage in height and reach, which he used to good purpose in outpointing Howell at long range, but his blows had little effect. Ray Bronson, of Indianapolis, claimant of the welterweight championship, has been asked to meet Mellly Griffith, at Erie, Pa., in the near future. The last time Ray hooked with this lad, he found him a tough proposition, being last to a draw. The next round has produced, to do better next occasion. He will go into training immediately, as he realized, that he is up against him and wants to offer no excuses if he fails to cop as decisively as he feels he ought. NEW YORK—Desiring some night attraction for thousands of baseball fans, the Yankees are playing a series game, arrangements were today made for a bout between Gunnel Smith and Carl Morris, the Oklahoma Giant. The big game was for the battles in Madison Square Garden. LIMA, O.—Jack McFhee of this city, welterweight champion of the south and Pacific const, yesterday was matched to meet Milly Walters, navy terror, before October 7. McFhee on October 7. McFhee has agreed to weigh in at 142 pounds, while his opponent will make 145. The local boy has been hooked up in several battles. with Pacific coast wetterweights. He is after a battle now with McFearn York and may be in the fight to meet the stocky man in Ft. Wayne. With the idea of getting off the bush league circuit, where he has spent by far too great a portion of his histic career, Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, has hooked up with the Walters, Jim Walters. How long the arrangements will last, of course, no one can foretell, as Dillon is notorious for his sadness over the loss of his son, that Walters has a better chance to stick than anybody, as he seems to possess a great skill. Walters was Walters who got him his first big fight with Eddie McGoory, at Fond du Lac, in 1911, and originally brought him to the United States, quite as busy since. Walters's first move, after taking hold of the bearcat's affairs, was to take over the Georges Carpenter, the French champion, Dillon has defeated practically everyone of consequence in the United States, he sees, and with a victory over the foreigner, could be accolled champion of the world. AMONG OUR NEWS PAPER WORKERS Compiled Under Direction of the National Negro Press Association. Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., is making a success of the National Medical Association Journal. The fifth number has appeared and it is full of valuable information for physicians and surgeons. The pharmacists would regard shows that the race is making forward strides in all of these professions, increasing in number and efficiency. The Journal should have a place in the library of every member of the allied medical fraternities and will be the only one well for its matter is plain enough to be understood by all who read as they run, seeking health, happiness and good looks as they go. The erudite editor, as his name applies, is "the noblest Roman of them all." In all probability there will be a change in the editorship of the A. M. E. Church Review in 1916. In the legal, medical and ministerial callings there is a definite and inexorable "code" which is the violation of which is certain to outlaw those found guilty of such misconduct. Why should not editors be held equally accountable to some moral law, which will subject them to punishment for willful lying, malicious misrepresentation and a trickle-out of the tone of real journalism? Take up this matter, fellow newspapermen, and see what can be done about it. Henry Allen Boyd's National Negro Newspaper Directory is "going like hot cakes," he says, "early in the year for complete list of Negro newspapers, where they are and who conducts them. This unique booklet answers all questions, is like to ask about journalism, is like to explain action all about the postal laws, gives the proceedings of the National Negro press Association, is like to search in search of the est advertising mediums, etc. Mr. Boyd's address is 447 Fourth avenue, North, Nashville. The booklet be revised from time to time and kept in touch with the latest developments in the line of Negro journalism. It is said that arrangements are being rapidly perfected for the launching of a new race paper at Washington, D.C. H any community between the Washington and D.C. that will reflect the best thought of the cultured and well-conditioned colored people within its community at Washington. A clean journal to clean people," would make a hit at the nation's capital. It is a sheer waste of time to indulge in jeremies over the Press Association in "yeen old tyme" would do well to join hands with the promoters of the Press Association of today and the young in "yeen old tyme" with the wisdom experience and all-pervading knowledge of what ought to be done to make the past more relevant to the past, walling over the past, gentlemen, and to work. The "real editors" of the present form a ne nucleus around which the past may enthusiastically rally. The Cleveland Gacte, edited by the sturdy Harry C. Smith, has entered upon its thirty-first year. Mr. Smith has been a member of the Press Association responsible for the presence on the statute books of the Buckeye state for several of the laws guaranteeing broader privileges to the colored people. Lee L. Brown, editor of the Louisville News, has been nominated for the Kentucky legislature on the one hand, and the Iraq colored man to be nominated for this responsible post and if the colored voters stand by him as they should his election is proposed, he will be the fourth ward of the Falls City, where the colored people hold the balance of power. They should eschew factionalism and essential differences, and rally around Editor Brown as one man. This is not "politics"—it is a plea for racial advancement. "It is the essential difference of Lincoln, Clay and of Harlan would go far to hearten the Negroes of the entire country. As representative Editor Brown would give an excellent account of himself, According to the Amsterdam News, New York City, the following well-known journals have been asked to attend at the recent meeting of the National Negro Press Association in Philadelphia, Amsterdam News, Indy, Arbro American Lege, Baltimore, Md.; Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee; East Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee; Dow, Dallas, Express, Dallas, Tex.; Louisville, News, Louisville, Ky.; The Advocate, Cambridge, Mass.; The Advocate-Verdict, Harrisburg, Pa., and the Journal and Globe, Norfolk, Va.

Garland Kennedy, the artist of the New York Amsterdam News, is using a part of his time in december to develop an inviting for which he has the agency in Harlem. The machine, which is in action in the lobby of the Crescent Theater, by insertion of a camera, takes a photograph of a person in the astonishing short time of one minute, or one enlargement in one day. The pictures are said to be as good as any turned out at the best studios. The moving picture of the Press Association of Philadelphia by Hunter C. Haynes, representing the Afro-American Film Company, are being shown to large audiences in New York City. They will reach the other cities of the country in a short time. Scenes from the business League, in which the organization in characteristic poses, are also included in the pictures. They are said to be exceedingly life-like. George W. Harris, for several years editor of the Amsterdam News, New York City, has disposed of his estate successfully by Edward D. Thompson, who will also act as secretary of the publishing company in Mr. Harris's stead. (U) is stated that he will be given the best date but an early date a new paper that will be the "biggest and best ever," one that will make the stalden denizen a take note." He is also said to be giving serious consideration to an urgent invitation to move his lares and pens and want "by starting his paper there. Mr. Harris is a graduate of Harvard and is an experienced writer of the New York Evening Post, another in his training was acquired on the Boston Transcript, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and the New York Evening Post, another in his training was acquired on the Boston, Washington, he will have the est wishes of a host of friends for a continuation of his success. He will be given up surprior life at Montclair, N.

Craighead, editor, of e.harrisburg (Pa.) Advocate-Verdubt, is a candidate for the nomination for coroner in his election district. He is secretary of the N. N. P. His chances for landing the plum are considered good. In accord with the recommendation of Former President Simpson, active steps have taken in a number of localities to form state and city associations as auxiliaries to the national organization. Kentucky, Tennessee, New York, Chicago and Baltimore are getting in line for local auxiliaries. For the present they have been freed from organizing these bodies, fixing their own local conditions, but frequent reports should be made to the corresponding secretary of the national body, Henry Allan Boyd, at Nashville, for the general records. In recognition of his ancient services as president of the Press Association, R. W. Thompson was publicly presented at the closing session of the Business League at Philadelphia with a gold-mounted fountain pen and illuminated volume entitled "Thinking Black," written by D. W. R. F. S., dealing with an important phase of the race problem. The funds for the purchase of the testimonial were raised by the Press Association and the presentation speech was delivered in eloquent fashion by J. Finlay Wilson, associate editor of the Baltimore Times. President J. H. Murphy assumes the gavel of the Press Association with the hearty good will of the entire newspaper fraternity of the race. He will go to the proposed event with a record of many to concrete achievements for "the highest development of Negro journalism."

NOTES OF COLUMBUS, O. (By Nahum Daniel Brascher, 748 Mil- ler, Avenue.) Special to THE FREEMAN Clarence Cameron White, assisted by Madam Katie Sleeke-Mitchell, will give a lecture, October 14., The Cleveland Association of Colored Men, an organization of colored business and professional men, contributed one hundred dollars to fund the lecture. There is but one colored institution in the Federation., At the annual rally held in the city Sunday School the attendance was $244; collection, $33.22. The banner school is colored in 693; collection, $88.2. Both schools are made up of Salmon P. White, leader of the North Battalion Band, Columbus, is beaten by the Tuskegee Band, Mr. White has made an enviable reputation for the Battalion Tuskegee Band, Mr. White has made an enviable reputation for the Battalion Colored Business Men Association session in Springfield last week. The same ocers were practically all re-elect-mentation will be held in Columbus, probably at the time the doctors' convention is held in June., James M. French, one of the ocers there is widespread talk about independence in municipal voting, and yet the various parties are particularly anxious to win in the large cities this fall. The recent charter election in Cleveland places the Ohio metropolis in a unique position, partly emblems now being the city's green, greenly-cloned, known that Newton D. Baker is a Democrat and Harry L. Davis is a Republican. Mr. Baker is a protege of the late Tom L. Johnson, and is the present mayor, a man of the first leadership and principal, and his visits are formerly city treasurer, and is a young man highly esteemed by Clevelanders. He is building up an effective organization and will give Mayor Baker a real bank. He is always a d滚的 In Columbus there are three candidates, George J. Karb, present mayor and Democrat; George S. Marshall, ex-mayor, Republican, and L. E. Tussing, independent; and L. E. Tussing, warm within the next fortnight. The Republicans are anxious to defeat Mayor Hunt of Cincinnati; and the positive refusal of Mayor Brand Whitlock to be a candidate for re-election the fifth time opens up an interesting situation in Toledo. Political wise men with their faces turned toward the east bank strongly on November results in Ohio. While the city is a strong, high control of the city machinery it is a finer thing to elect a governor, a nited States senator and the President of the American republic in 1916. The political wise men say the pendulary spring of Jack Bailey's pack put to white remains to be seen. In it all, the colored citizen of Ohio remains the ever-important factor. No partly or organization of independents hopes to gain victory without the colored voters' support. He is the ever-present balance of power, and this fact is thoroughly realized in every community. For, be it known, colored voters have been casting the ballot for what they deemed their best interest, and political ties have meant no more to them than others. Appeals are made to their reason; not their ignorance. Broken promises are remembered and dealt with accordingly. While politics have become a side issue with colored voters in Ohio, they are keeping up on the fine points of the game as laid down by Hoyle. The Freeman will tell the real story. BLOOMINGTON, ILL.
