The men who were in the jail, where he once did time for offenses against the commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness."

Nay, my friend—it's not worth while. worth while, A thousand trowns aren't worth a single million. And as for me I have no time to spare For going round with a resentful air, When everywhere I look I see some chance To help him fellow-man with loving glance To help him on, and make the road I run A brighter one, And give the highways dark that lie ahead, That I must tread, Some of the radiant sweetness of the sun. "The shallows murmur, while the deeps are dumb!" Do it now! Tomorrow the opportunity may have passed. Root makes it plain that we cannot "Root for Root" in 1916. And King Merenik is dead again, according to the latest press dispatches from Abysinia. It is simply human nature to distrust a "friend" who is always "cheek by jowl" with your bitterest enemy. Our steering gear is unchanged, regardless of the knocks of discredited politicians, fired officeholders and past and prospective狱卫s. Rev. R. A. Morrissey, a former secretary of the knocks of discredited politicians, has gone over to the Baptists, and has accepted a Baptist assignment at Plymouth, N. C. Thomas Kennedy, formerly editor of the Zanesville (Ohio) Advocate, has too good a town for a good man like Mr. Kennedy to stay away from. As a silencer, the Washington Bee is not in the class of the fellows who manufacture the stuff that punishes guns makers. "More, breer Chase; more 'pep.' Mme. Montessori, the distinguished Italian educator, has won a warm place in the heart of the entire human family because of her kindness and her baby of the future is to be cryless. There is light ahead for us all—if this fanciful dream can be realized.

Just as we have always said, the black in America is not the "Man Farthest Down." Mrs. eissle Harper has been engaged as the host of events on the Daly Telegram (white), or Youngstown, Ohio. This will solve the problem of a Negro dalk in that section of the western hemisphere, and others along the way and their work will be felt in a thousand helpful ways. "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" by booker T. Washington, is still being read everywhere and is the subject of many articles and books in their society societies of the country. The article originally appeared in the Century Magazine, November, 1912, and has been brought several editions in pamphlet form. There is solemn anything in common between men of generous girth and those who are sting and malicious—like unto the "lean and hungry Casius." Cesar was wise in his day and generation when he was a man of great men who are fat." Here is one individual of class who has put a negative to the ancient fabrication that "nobody loves a fat man." "Man to do his work properly, must be properly fed," says Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, a professor of history at the dietetics. "The girl of the future must know how to cook on scientific principles. Fewer planes and more cook stoves are available than there were another clincher to what we have frequently said as to the importance of domestic science, "the first of all sciences." The Hon. Ralph W. Tyler is whiling away some valuable time writing verbose and pointless sketchy articles in the New York newspaper. The executive committee of the National Negro Business League would prefer to read a pithy essay on the achievements of the Negro Business League I Have Organized," showing charter, list of officers and concrete achievements of the same. A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient. Mrs. Mary E. Washington, the official head of the Household of Ruth in Indiana, would make an admirable chieftain for this great order throughout the country. She is an acknowledged leader in the fraternities of women in the nation. She is a splendid speaker and possesses executive ability. She would be elected next September at Boston, it would be a "feather in the cap" of the Hoosier delegation and a distinct gain to the cause for which the Ruthites stand. "If I Forget," DeKoven Thompson's classical song which Mine, Schumann's and by singing it at her own concerts, is being used largely as a feature in marriage ceremonies all over the country. It is a beautiful composition, stately in its beauty, but in the well-known vaudeville artists are making big hits with it in the best theaters of the land, and the music is found in the parors of the theater in the town. The critics say "If I Forget" will rank for all time with Mendelson's Wedding March, Reginald DeKoven's "O, Promise Me" and "Traumeref." The local newspaper, however small, serves some useful purpose in the church and in the community and due to all interests. It tells, as no other agency can tell, of the progress of the church, the school, the little stores and the businesses in which it is published, dealing with them in a more intimate manner than say outside paper would find any other way to pride and allows the world to know that their town is on the map. In connection with this local paper, the individuals who are general members weekly and a local white daily, to keep in touch with all the news worth while. Of course, you have heard of Al Jones! He is the genial gentleman who presides over the destines of the famous Roadside hotel at Philadelphia, where the pencil pushers made their headquarters last August and who would not leave until the last tap of the bell for adjournment of the league sessions. Al Jones gave the boys a breakfast as was a breakfast, and they have been singing his praises on every conceivable occasion since that memorable morning last August, when they consumed those luscious chops and stirred those cocktails round and round. Covers were laid for forty, and effervescent James H. Anderson, of the Amsterdam News, was toastmaster. Everybody "came across" with a big speech, and Al Jones was made a life member of the National Negro Press Association. Visit the Roadside when you go to Philadelphia. “Back to the soil” is a slogan that carries weight. To make it as effective as it ought to be, you must make country life more and more attractive to men and women; the business aspect of agriculture must be increased to the farmer direct, so that he will be able to offer wages for farm help that will offset the apparently high cost of farming. The subject is a big one and should engage the attention of sociologists and economists. It was on the right track in making this “back to the farm” slogan the principal feature of his annual address at the Philadelphia meeting of the National growers' association, hammering at it, making it into every conceivable occasion where the problem of living is open for discussion. William Anthony Aery, the genial and versatile farmer, the champion sitting as our sincere thinks on the “Founders' Day Address” on “General Samuel Chapman Armstrongs, by the founder of the Albany Academy, Albany, N. Y. The pamphlet offers a vivid reflex of the useful life, high purpose and solid achievements of the great educator and soldier of the African people, unrevealed to the reading public, Mr. Aery has been very kind to the members of the newspaper fraternity in supplying them with the news upon the Negro problem, and he is one of the few white men in this country who do not hesitate to mingle with colored men, and to publicly forge of being mistaken for a Negro. Such broad-minded, Christian gentlemen as Mr. Aery are "the salt of the earth." He is a member of the National Negro Press Association. Mme. C. J. Walker, to whom the feminine world owes an enormous debt of gratitude for producing flowing locks where sprouts scarcely grew before, is spending the winter in the West Indies, Panama and South America. After a visit to Jamaica, she journeyed to Port au Prince, Haiti, where she met many noted people, all of whom accorded her exceptional social courtesies. She returned to Kingston, Jamaica, for the holiday season, and is now continuing her tour to the southward. Eight years ago Mme. Walker was a cook and laundress. Starting with a capital of just $1.50, she embarked in the hair business. Now this wonderful woman owns valuable property in several cities, is carrying on a business that brings in $3,000 per month, and is worth not less than a quarter of a million dollars. This is an object lesson of what an enterprising woman can do in the arena of business. Mme. Walker has discovered the secret of power and promotion. She is a real leader of her race. The lectures by Dr. Robert E. Park on "The Negro in America," delivered before the classes in sociology at the University of Chicago, have attracted more than usual interest at the hands of the closest students of the race problems in this country. Dr. Park is a native of New England and added a long course in special sociological investigations at the leading universities of Europe to American education, reasoning, it at with the trade and intimate observation of types in many countries. Dr. Park has been associated for a long time with the work of Tuskegee Institute, and within the past few months has made a tour of almost the entire South, visiting all of the Tuskegee Institute branch schools and other schools doing a similar work. It is noteworthy that these inspection trips are being made at the request of a north in Philadelphia who is deeply invested in the Negro education. The lectures on the Negro at the Chicago University are admittedly attracting more attention at the hands of the university students than probably any series yet presented to them. The national organizer of a fraternity, a business league or an insurance company should be a man so thoroughly in touch with the masses and so sympathetic with the humble Negro who is struggling upward, that he can find the officers of a local branch, even if the latter are porters in stores, waiters in hotels or taveries of delivery wagons. Every civic work cannot be doctor, lawyer, banker or teacher. Mrs. Bessery Simms Merchant is a prosperous caterer in Cincinnati, Ohio, and numbers among her regular patrons such distinguished families as the Tafts, the Longworths, the Sintons, the Coxes, the Fleischmanns and the like. She has finely equipped establishment of the "John Smith" patient to the business section, is the owner of an electric runabout, in which she makes her business calls, and has a commodious motor truck for the hauling of her goods and appurtenances. She has one of the handsome outfits of Haviland, China, silver and then known in the Guine City, and her service is of the highest class. Mrs. Merchant enjoys a large annual income, is popular, beautiful and single. The Tuskegee Annual Negro Farmers' Conference this year bids fair to be the most interesting conference of the Tuskegee Institute January 21 and 22, and the principal theme for discussion will be "Fifty Years of Negro Farmers' remarkable advancement in agriculture will be shown by parades, in which the ancient and modern methods of farm management will be displayed, Conservation of Health" will be thoroughly analyzed by the Workers' Conference on the 2nd, and conference meetings will from all sides be held, the South, and this year the attendance will be large than ever before. Plain elbows in perfect sympathy, each looking to be benefited by the brotherly contact. Dr. Washington will conduct his unique personal visit, is one of the real treats of the occasion. Hugh E.

He may also take a turn at the practice of law and his ex-henriess that stairwalt journalist and versatile business factor, Noah D. Thompson, who conducts the Los Angeles Laborer in the real estate business enterprises, Mr. Macbeth is a young man of rare energy and engaging personality, and should make good out on the where they say "money grows on trees." It is a waste of precious time to bandy words with a bonehead editor who is unable to distinguish news difference between politically distrustful news story and advocacy of party politics. The proof of a man's metal teeth in the forehead that has been his or her emergerent Atlanta speech in 1895, Dr. Washington has been in the limelight by night and by day, and not once has he himself set out nor has he disappointed the expectations of the friends who have given him their moral and material support. Dr. Washington is the National Negro Business League last August had the pleasure of viewing a poster of the "Salem," which carried Emmet J. Scott and his fellow members of the famous Liberian Commission to Monrovia, to investigate conditions in the Liberian Emancipation celebrations must develop few scandals, or there will be a decided slump in the legislative appropriations for the same.

During the Year Many Business Men and Women Have Been Invited to Address the Student Body. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala. Dec. 22—Tuskegee Institute, during the present year, has been invited successful colored business men and women to deliver talks on the importance of something of their efforts in establishing themselves in business and as to how they have succeeded. This series of talks was given the 13th-18, by Mr. W. A. Wallace, a successful baker, located on State street, Chicago, Ill. Mr. Wallace has struggled against many hard conditions but has placed his business upon a very During his visit to Tuskegee, Mr. Wallace spoke to the teachers and students employed in the institute boarding, teaching, and student education in the assembly room, Academic building; to the young women of Dorothy hall, where the girls' industries are located; to the young women being permitted to met with the Tuskegee's Woman's Club, where he also spoke. He was also present at the meeting of the teachers and students of the evening, December 20, and took part in the discussion of a paper by Mr. D. C. Smith, auditor of the institute, entitled "Foundation of the idea that Industrial Education is an Interior Sort of Education." Mr. Wallace spoke in part as follows: "The baking business in this country, and the ingredients that do to make up the material that compose the composition of the cakes, cakes, etc., is being given the attention of experts in scientific and chemical analysis, as to the effects of various wheats and other ingredients which they obtain practical results of the product of their mills and thus are in position to say to the public how our flour will do what we leam. "Millions of dollars are invested by large concern in the best business of producing the best baking in the cheapest manner. For instance, we have in our parts the great bakery in the best business of producing the bakeries in many large cities; the Helsley-Jungle Co. Schultz and Co. and H. H. Kohlsaas in this business and all doing a business, giving employment to hundreds of men and women, and creating through this means the most profitable individuals combined and operated by their selected heads. "There are some concerns that make a speciality of one thing. For instance, Martin Pie Coe, and another, making nothing but doughnuts, demonstrating that the industry has its many branches, jointly handled. Out of this condition there has come to us the lesson that out of co-operation and cooperation of a realization of beneficial returns, than in individual efforts on small means. This has been thoroughly demonstrated in all branches of the industry, and wheels in making this country roll on to prosperity and development. "In order to expand our business and provide ourselves with larger facilities for our students and for others, I concluded to form a corporation, so on the 25th day of August, 1908, we incorporated the money panic was over the country and at the end of about twelve months we found ourselves doing business. A heavy problem was on our hands; a heavy weight on our hearts. I called directors' meetings and we found the business in sight. Finally, I concluded this thing must not fall on my hands. Out of this hole we found the business to another location, and in one year turned the tide, cleared up the indebtedness, paid back the money, and founded the capital invested. In our fight for existence, we have had to contend with unpaid bills, with knocks because we were Negroes, with distrust from our own people and feudous from others, but by the help of God whom we serve, we have gone "Two years ago we recapitulated for a larger amount of our work, and we learned of the larger business. "This part of my talk I shall consider merely that he who dares is he who does. I am a graduate of a college in Pennsylvania know that he is permitted that fact to in- interfere with n.v. doing what I found necessary to further my business interests. Isay this in order to impress the following, namely: Education of whatever nature is only of us as you may use it, this is the best work of the work in order to accomplish a higher purpose. This is the process through which great and strong men are developed. Once Garfield trotted the low-path, once Lincoln split rails, once Douglass rolled casks, but these things are no longer remembered, except their origin. "Cake baking in cake shops is quite different from cake baking at home. We have always found it difficult to obtain cake and pie bakers among our people in Chicago, who understand what is known as profit baking. There is several reasons that the work is not produced them our city. One we do not produce them, so they those that come our way soon find other fields of employment, because they cannot get employment at their trade, and colored bakeries where they employ outside help are very scarce. A knowledge of baking products is not as good as a lot of the work and yet can be them fit to eat, is in itself the most necessary to do with. In him the getup necessary to do with. If I were to tell you or the greater part of your mothers that good cakes can be made out of lard or compound, you should probably look at them and see if the bakeries do it." "A good pie baker is a prize worth having and appear to be scarce in our parts. How do we make them both good and cheap; for private family baking will not do in the bake shop, among ordinary people, but in a bakery with a high quality. I see in the baking business large opportunities, for in most colored companies, we can work with white bakeries. Because of the lack of opportunity to work in these shops, or to work in a bakery, we ought not to be. We should be able to furnish ourselves with any article we use. "In conclusion I will say my years of experience in the bakery business. There is no reason why we should not out the country hundreds of bakeries managed by Negroes in which millions of dollars of our capital could be invested for the benefit of our people would receive employment. DOINGS IN THE "QUEEN CITY." CINCINNATI. O.—Brigadier General Joseph L. Jones of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization through the East and South. He reports that the protest of the order against the company is the emblem of the B. & O. Railroad Company of Baltimore, earnest consideration by the officials of the company, and that in all probability the company will be prominent in the effort to segregate the colored citizens of Baltimore. He is humiliated over the victory of the Knights of Columbus, and it has been decided that colored Pythians have as much right to the name as anybody else. A Washington he conferred with W. Thomson on National Press Association matters. The Central Regalia Company is get-together with the Groz Press Association, and it is stated that they will be ready for distribution of this insignia, the use of this insignia the members of the Press Association will have their enquiries recognized in newspaper and clive circles.

(By John W. Williams.) Special to THE FREEMAN The holiday season was observed with many social functions in this city. The city schools have been closed for several days on account of the loss of the support. In the�spub about the first of January in speaking of Muskogee's most prominent men, we wish to call attention to Major Wilson, who is the first of the city's capacity of shipping clerk for Lafferty & Walker, said to be one of the largest stores of its kind in eastern Oklahoma. He has been at the top of the city's young man's one of the fortnate ones who learned the dry goods business, and today he draws a neat salary in return for his income. He has been in search for a wife, wishes to state that he is still a candidate for matrimony. He can be reached at 604. In the same way he has been a member of the State's Association of Young 920 Denver's avenue, this city is an ardent reader of the Freeman and is much impressed with the paper as is the leading�or leader of the state.

He is without doubt one of the most able writers (either white or colloquial in the health of the town) and the most well-known in the state. The Phonics is a gentleman of the first class, a broad-minded man in his views and a polished speaker and writer. The National Negro Press is also the most well-known in the state of the city. In the 1960s he has a seating capacity of 5,000 persons. A number of our prominent race leases are the most well-known to the city's office. Miss Ella Bridges, the check marker for the Excelsior Landry Company, whose picture has appeared in various ways. He has been in various positions for a number of years, but has been 5,000 to 5,000. She thinks the report was started by some of her friends who are jealous of her standing in society. She still an active candidate for matrimony, still an active candidate for South Main street, Muskegon, Okla., and South Main street, Muskegon, Okla., and she credits it for his remarkable success.

SATURDAY, JAN. 3, 1914. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The Advocate of Portland, Ore., got out a splendid Christmas number. It went West, and grew up with the country. The issue is illustrative of the best of that community. It is a credit to the management and to the race. R. W. Thompson, the Freeman correspondent, is still doing business at the old stand. He has not been squealed, as a contemporary felt to say—either fro mthe inside or out—neither spiritually or by "physical" threats. The report that the will of the late Robert R. Church has been broken has been denied. The Memphis Sun is very much wrought up about the matter. It had this recently to say: "We weigh our word; the will left by Mr. Church has not been broken by any act of the courts of Tennessee, nor has his will been in question before any court in Tennessee or in any commonwealth. News to the contrary is false and misleading, and at ugly variance with the facts. If we are permissible to advance an opinion we will say that in all likelihood that document, now the tattler's toy and the gossip's morsel, will not suffer change by order, finding or decisions of the courts of law of Tennessee, nor nor ever." Not much is heard in these days of the segregation business at Washington, D. C. It is being said that the administration has given in to the demands of the Negroes who made a most vigorous fight on segregation by the government. We understand that the old order is practically restored, that but very little remains to remind one of discrimination at the hands of the government. We have conceded much owing to the influence of prejudice, but to see it exhibited by the government, and especially when uncalled for, is a thing of the almost past conception. We are glad to know that we enter the new year with changed relations in this particular. There can be no hope if the government also "piles on." England seems to think that the fortifying of the Panama Canal route is too much of a sign of proprietorship. This international business is a bit queer. Our country has conceded that there be equality of toll rates, a concession in the spirit of fairness to the shipping interests of other countries, notwithstanding our virtual right to do as we saw fit because it was our money that built the canal. Our country, however, refused this narrow view; reconsidered the act of exemption of American vessels. Fortification of the canal appears an advantage of course, and as it should be War, in our opinion, is not anticipated, but we do not need any vulnerable points, just as other countries do not need them. Following are some lynching statistics noted in a report from Chicago: In the forty-four lynchings the victims of all but one were Negroes, and all but two of the cases occurred in Southern States. No woman was included among the year's victims. North Dakota and Montana were the North Dakota and Montana in which lynchings occurred. At Ray, N. D., Cleve Culbertson, a white man, accused of the murder of three persons, was taken from jail by a mob and hanged. The only other case in a Northern State occurred at Mondak, Mont., in April, when J. C. Collins, a Negro, who shot and killed the sheriff and deputy sheriff of the county, was hanged by a mob. The States in which the lynchings occurred during the year and the number in each were as follows: Alabama, 2; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 4; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 4; Mississippi, 1; Montana, 1; North Carolina, 1; North Dakota, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 2 and Texas, 6. There was at least one lynching for every month in the year, August, the hottest month, leading with 8. Following are the lynchings by months: January, 3; February, 5; March, 3; April, 1; May, 2; June, 4; July, 4; August, 8; September, 4; October, 1; November, 4 and December, 5. Double lynchings were at Blanchard, La.; Cornelia, Ga.; and Pauls Valley, Okla. At Houston, Miss., two Negroes were lynched a day apart, both being accused of complicity in the same crime. At Drew, Miss., a Negro was lynched by members of his own race after he had shot and killed two Negro women and two Negro men. Murders Chief Cause. As in previous years, murders of white persons and crimes or alleged crimes against white women caused most of the summary executions. The murders were in the big majority, however, and the number of cases in which attacks on women were charged showed a gratifying decrease over the four lynchings. Nineteen of the victims of the 44 lynchings were accused of the murder of white men. Four were charged with murdering white girls or women. Attempted criminal assault is on record as responsible for nine of the lynchings. Two Negroes were lynched for frightening white women, one for insulting a white woman and another for being found concealed under the bed in a woman's room. Two Negroes were lynched for shooting or assaulting white men, one for robbery and shooting, one for assisting a Negro murderer to escape and another for horse stealing. In one case the crime charged against the victim was not stated. SAMUEL M. LEWIS DEAD. Samuel Mallory Lewis of St. Paul, Minn., after a lingering illness of about three years, died at his home in that city Sunday, December 28. Formerly he lived in Indianapolis. This was about twenty years ago. He has resided in St. Paul the better part of these absent years, being employed in the Pullman sleeping car service. Mr. Lewis was one of a group of brothers who were well known in Indianapolis to the older citizens. He was educated in the public schools of this city. The surviving brothers are William M. Lewis, editor of The Freeman; John Lewis, a newspaper man of St. Louis, Mo., and Lawrence Lewis, and St. Louis. His father were Betty and Cyrus Lewis, well known as among the old residents of Indianapolis. His immediate family was his wife, Glenora, a daughter and son, Bertha and Leslie, who survive him. He's simply answered the common summons. R. H. Colerane, the colored man recently elected to the City Council of Winchester, Ky., has resigned as a member of that body because the white members refused to sit with him. According to report they failed to show up on the day they were to sworn in; in this to embarrass the colored brother. Colerane went before a notary public, who administered him a sworn in sign by the white members. He did so. At first blush this seems a high-handed piece of injustice, and it is. We do not have many cases so flagrant as that. Perhaps there has never been a case of the kind before, at least in recent years. "It is out there." However, it is only one of the things that make for our great race prob- RESOLVE A BIT. New Year's resolutions are in order, as they have been for lo! these many years. Doubtless they have been made by this time and kept until this time. Of course, most of us will keep them for a longer period—some of them. Nothing is lost in resolving, even if we fail in sticking as closely as possible to our actions. Influence that goes out from a change will go on and on—building better than we know. There are always spectators to our actions. The world is made up that way. We may say that we are not influenced in our activities, that we are independent, and all that, yet in the most part our activities are the incorporated activities of others, many others. Everything heard or seen leaves an impress which swerves us this way or that way. We are not the ones who solves of a few days are infections. They pass on to our neighbors, who pass them on through their changed attitudes. Resolve a bit. GOVERNOR RALSTON'S RESOLUTION Governor Ralston of Indiana is becoming noted for his great community interest and civic pride. And he is happy in his expressions along those lines. As to his resolution for 1914 he gave out the following: "It is my resolution for 1914 to stand officially for better sanitary conditions; for a cleaner citizenship; for a stronger bond of fellowship between men; for the preservation of the rights of organized society at any cost; for a greater efficiency in the public service; for the possibilities of American citizenship. These things are essential to the happiness of the people. And the great function of government is to promote the happiness of the people." REV. DR. E. C. MORRIS HONORED. Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, has been named as one of the American committee announced for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Ghent between Great Britain and the United States. This is a signal honor, and worthly bestowed. Dr. Morris is a distinguished representative of his race and a great churchman. His worth and usefulness has exceeded denominational limitations. He has the respect and confidence of his race generally. Among this committee of which Dr. Morris is a member are: Oscar S. Strauss, member of the Roosevelt Cabinet, member American ambassador to Turkey and Progressive nominee for Governor of New York in 1912; Charles Page Bryan, former American ambassador to Japan and minister to Portugal; Dr. Henry S. Drinker, president of Lehigh University; Henry C. Morris of Chicago, former United States consul to Ghent; former Governor Frank S. Street, of New Hampshire; Thomas B. Raydon, one of the few leading scandents of a signer of the Treaty of Ghent; General J. Warren Keifer of Springfield, Ohio, former Speaker of the House of Representatives; Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of Review of Reviews. THE ROLL OF THE LYNCHED FOR 1913 The roll of the lynched for the past year, according to what may be considered good authority, was forty-four. We say "good authority" advisedly, having in mind other reports which were materially different, yet seemingly of good authority. The number of the lynched -44 is given as beyond doubt. This means that the reports that are at variance are not without some foundation. A change for the better has been going on for the last eight or ten years, until this present year, when the record is the lowest. In other years there have been recorded upwards of 300 persons whose lives were taken without the sanction of the law. The Negro race can well afford to feel pleased at this year's record in face of all that has happened in the fifty years after the war. There is more than one reason why we cannot rejoice to see this "civil ban" blown up. It will take 95 to 99 per cent of those lynched were Negroes. In fact, in some of the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. years, not a single white man was unlawfully dealt with. This was a terrible reflection on the race. No Negro was so callous, so indifferent or so ignorant as not to feel the sting of disgrace, knowing that he was of a kind beyond the law's protection—the very outcast of society. No Negro was so great as to escape the terrible race arrangement—"weighed in the balances and found wanting"—was that indictment, even if it did come through malignation and false accusation. History may record the facts of injustice and rebel a situation. The admission of one's inhumanity does not change a job or title. We mean to say that in many cases to establish the fact of injustice practiced rightens the wronged, brings about the thing hoped for, contempt and punishment going one way and justice and restoration going the other way. But it has not been so as it seems in the lynching business. There has been but little shame manifested over the lynching practice by those engaged in every little repentance. The unrighteous practice was known, but not help our standing. The unrighteous practice was known, it did not do very much toward deterring those engaged in it. There was no such thing as retributive justice—our loss was absolute. Then again the race suffered because the alleged cause for lynching was that most infamous thing—raping. The charge was not sustained. Only a very small per cent, of the accused were charged with that crime, not to speak of the possibility of error. Thus subjected to lynching, accused of raping, the Negro nation was stunned by the death of its civil growth. We wore the John Bunyan jacket. It's responsibility was elsewhere. However, the race is happy enough to see it diminishing by any means whatsoever. We will not overlook the press of this country, the white press, and which stands for the best America, in its efforts to silence the mob. It was not as effective as it could have been, yet had it not been for its efforts the "heathen" would have still been raging. We cannot forget the attitude state and civilized showed the mob their angry frowns. The pulpit and public-spirited men are to be considered. Before this combination the mob spirit lost its firm hold. This combined opposition was of the more recent years, and which together with the Negroes' efforts, have done the work. The Negroes' education, their law-abiding spirit, their high conception of citizenship, their increasing moral sentiment, their fearlessly exerted power, their deceeless demand for right, has helped in their endeavor to stand confused and abashed. It was never a necessity. That has been thoroughly proven. NEWS OF FULTON, KY (By J. L. Worthington, 306 Holder St.) The concert given by the South Pulton graded school last week was a success.

Two Comedians Brimming With Fun Willie Glenn and Walter Brogsdale are a couple of boys that are "out there," a couple of boys that are "comelands," but they remind one very much of us. Willie Glenn plays his comedy in such a way. 心 WALTER BROGSDALE, WILLIE GLENN. that it answers also for straight. His comedianism is of a fine order, having that natural effect which is another term for his wit. His mannerisms—little hesitations in his speech, inflection, repetitions such as are noted of persons we meet daily. Walter Brogsdale is good, especially when he turns doctor and prescribes for Glenn's allment. Their work house, and hospital stunt is thoroughly funny. In the windup Glenn does a piece of wrench business. Both are seen here in WALTER BROGSDALE, WILLIE GLENN. a stunt done to the tune of "If a Body Meets a Body Coming Through the Movement is a sort of a slow drag, grotesque, a funnaker all right. They sing "Colored Aristocracy" and "I Am Sick as I Can which are put on in good style. They are good all the way through; they get the applause. Stone and Stone open up with a breezy talk. The female member of this team tells the male member of the dian. That is what makes interesting and funny. And that is what makes a hit with the audience. The goers are looking for something different to what they have seen and heard. Miss Stone is also something of a fan. She tells the male member a Man, an old song, but deverely done, "Sugar Toe" and "Samantha," as they call one another, have another talking. They pull off a parting scene that gets the house to velling. Here again is a bit of acting rather true to what's often seen. The male member sing "All the Litle Tits" and "All the Tits." This is followed by a well-done monologue. In the parting song a bit of blues enters, making for the rather sad effect. The act is well received. VIRGIE RICHARDS. Songstress. Virgile Richards is a girl from "down East." She was formerly of the "Seven Composers" Compo Set. She gives three singing numbers, which are artistically done. Miss Richards is of good form, which, together with her pretty costumes and pretty makeup, make for a splendid stage appearance. She sings "Sailing Down Chesapeake Bay," which includes a bit of that all the rage tango. In singing "Hello, Mr. Moon," she introduces a scene of the moon and stars, and sings the gray and carolina. Her plaintive song. She gives in the two sons a good exhibition of two styles of singing—the gray and carolina. It is her third number. This is also prettily done. Miss Richards gives a refined entertainment, interesting and pleasing all through. CINCINNATI (O) THE TRICALS. The Lincoln Haa Successful Opening Pekin Doing, Business as Usual. Dreams of a decade by the Negroes of this city were realized Christmas eve, when the Lincoln theater was opened for the first time. The small theater agitation struck this city the probability of a first-class small theater being opened in the west end of the city. The city's population has been one of the chief topics. Several attempts have been made from time to time to interest enough colored actors to fill the seats and sand dollars in such a scheme, but in this as in most other things they could not see their way clear to start it. About six years ago, Mr. Olive Demes- vey, who had been the most active fitting to interest his fellow colored citizens in the theatrical movement, without success, opened up a little nickelodeon on West Fifth street by himself. Of course, the same old cry went up from some that was to be of a very short business life. For several months he had nothing but moving pictures as an attraction. As discrimination continued to grow in the larger amusement houses, a demand was made by the patrons of the Pekin theater for something of a vaudeville character in the evening where they could attend without coming in contact with that nautical prejudice that is so prevalent in all the playhouses of this city on account of a man's color. Mr. Bemeson finally yielded to the appeal of the patrons of his house and booked a number of good acts that proved successes. Mr. Galther, another one of Cincinnati's enterprising citizens, made the second venture in this line, but was compelled to close his house by the order of the building inspector, who claimed the house was not fireproof. An attempt was made a few years ago to open the Lyceum thaer exclusively for colored people. They went there the first week, looked the place over and went back to the Pekin, and have been there ever since. About two years ago the ground was broken in the Lincoln theater at Fifth and John streets. The proof building was erected at this corner, and the doors were thrown open to the Christmas eve. There were three large dwellings were built in a large room on the opening night. The interior of the house is a dream of perfection, with large windows. The doors are ranged as not to interfere with the exit of people. Two large side exits on John street are available in case of fire or for emergency evacuation. The woodwork, including the fine seats, is all of mahogany finish. The roof with a balcony can be about 60. The seating capacity of the house is about 600. There is a beautiful little room in the rooms under it. Every one who has seen the Lincoln says it is the prettiest little playhouse in the city. The well-known manager and performer, has been engaged as manager, and he was there all the time. He can be on hand to render whatever assistance he could for the opening. A large crowd was in waiting several hours before the time for the first show. The house soon was ready. The Lincoln orchestra, consisting of Mr. Charles Alexander, piano; Mr. Harry W. Charles, bass; Mr. Wm. H. Brown, drums, rendered some beautiful selections during the evening. Three pretty girls were engaged in charge as chief usher, and the charge as chief usher, Mr. John Austin was in charge of the door, and Mrs. Smith was in charge of the door, and the veteran manager, Thomas Nobby Gales, had the performers all ready for without a single vaudeville moved without a single mime. After several beautiful pictures by the Lincolgraph the first vaudeville sketch was put on the bill and Malone, who was cleverly done. Miss Teresa Burmah is well known for some clever singing and dancing. She is a talented former and was loudly applauded. The closing number on the bill was Tim and the audience was very impressed. Peared that the audience would never tire of them. Mrs. Moore has a good friend, the house, by the courtesy shown on the bill. The manager are well satisfied with the first attendance. If the opening is any criticism of the nature the Lincoln is an assistant to the manager. The Pekin theater has a good, strong book week, and did a packed business. The people the people go from one to the other. This little house with a good bill, together with the teachers, will always find plenty of business. TOMMY CARTER MARRIED TO MISS LILI LEE IN IN- DIANAPOLIS. Tommy Carter, the popular comedian with the "Mischief Makers," was quietly married to Miss Lulu Coates Christmas Day at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood C. Knox. Carter is one of the best known comedians on the American burlesque stage today. He has been before the footlights for the last sixteen years and each year finds him the same popular favorite with the public. Mrs. Carter is also a well-known stage artist. At one time she was the leading member of the "Watermelon Trust." At the present time she is playing big time on one of the popular vaudeville circuits. Mr. Carter was filling an engagement at the Majestic theater, one of the beautiful playhouses of Indianapolis.

The "Cabaret" return to vaudeville at the Palace Theater, New York, was a big success. Never did a man receive a stronger welcome than did this re-warmed show. William Williams was warmly greeted when he appeared on stage and was not permitted to leave until he had added several songs to the list he had prepared, including "No Way, I'm Nervous, I'm Nervous," and "No Way, I'm Nervous," several new songs. The best of which was "You Can't Get Away From It." It was followed by one of the most numberless comedian and "Sister Willis" is the best comedian on the American stage, a distinction which in my mind he has rightfully held for a number of years.

CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW Smart Set at the Pekin—Salem Tutt Whitney Makes Chicago Debut as a star in "The Wrong Mr. President." Finest Musical Comedy on Record. (By Sylvester Russell.) When Charles E. Barton, owner of the Smart Set companies, decided that his Southern company and its star, Salem Tutt Whitney, should become only only a member of the Sworders Within greatness and the combination which surrounds him was conclusive. As the foremost critic of my day, by general indorsement, after persecution, assaults by some members of the Sworders Within greatness and after being crushed by newspaper men, as the survival of the fittest, I am here to state that victory in literary, musical and dramatic life belongs only to the making of the world. And to that end, not as a rebuke, but rather as a Bible lesson, I choose to introduce Mr. Whitney in a proper preliminary. Two years ago Mr. Whitney and his road manager, Trevor L. Corwell, who is a white English composer, educated by Sir Arthur Sullivan, made up their minds that it was time for the critic, Sylvester Russell, to serve the development of the work, so they sent for me to come to West Baden, Ind., several hundred miles from Chicago, at their own expense, where they banquets me upon my arrival. I am so so very old. What is the style that took me to the opera house to see their newest production. I was not only surprised at its completeness in detail but I knew then and there that the sun had risen on the star, and the color was a generation of "Raven must have knew the play was written Measher, Cornell and Smith Measher and Homer Tutt. The music was composed by Measher, Cornell and Smith. The music was composed by grand opera in splendor, were by Mr. Cornwell.

English, the Boyds, Al and Venable and Owens, a sister team, are the openers at the Pekin Theater this week, with a good turn. The ladies have costly costumes, good voices and are well-trained. Broford and Jennette, another new team playing over this time. This act is one of the good ones and should be heard from further up the line. They have a good singing, dancing and talking turn. The Lincoln Theater started on its second week with the Foster Player playground picture, that attracted an unusual bill for the night show. They have a good bill for the night show, which the Grady, who shows up so well in the moving picture, has a clever turn in the olor; she sings and dances well. Our audience is still making them laugh; he has a host of friends here who gave him a grand home boy, and Benjamin the Porter, our own home boy, and Benjamin the closing number with a clever turn.

DUDLEY HONORED BY CITIZENS Race's Foremost Theatrical Genius and Comedian Tendered Magnificent Dinner by Admirers at the Nation's Capitol — Past Achievements, Present Successes and Plans for the Future — Some Telling Speeches Made. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 29.—After the final curtain following the recent encomium of the late Howard theater last Saturday night, a distinguished company of the Washington admirers of the race's foremost theatrical genius sat down to a sumptuous feast, generously in his honor at the California Delacorte-penators of Mr. A. H. Underdown at the theater for forty, and the guests embraced not only a noisy number of the suburban lovers interested in the dramatic profession, but the alluring picture was brightened by the presence of a dozen or more of the guests who were placed before them and the laughter gave unmistakable evidence of their heartiest appreciation of the good things that were placed before them and the people that came "after coffee." The ladies were handsomely gowned and the gentlemen wore the conventional evening dress. The audience was resilient, ran the gamut of the toothsome viands offered by the rich south market, and enough to say that the audience up only in the down knows how to get up such delightful spreads. The dinner, service and entertainment could ask, the wit and humor, intermingled with the serious and practical, flowed fast and furious until the "ma hours" suggested "Home, Sweet Home." The happy affair was under the direction of a committee, headed by Mansfield Hill, Howard W. Tennant, as chairman, assisted by W. Tennant, vice-chairman; Harrison Hartgrove, secretary, and Lew W. Henry, general manager. The elaboration of detail and flawless care of the labor reflected great credit upon their painstaking labors. Big Things Ahead for the Profession. Mr. Howard E. Jackson, eloquent of tongue, felicitous in the choice of words and of commanding presence, acquitted himself in the task of swaying his hearers from gravity to galley at will. At the outset, Mr. Jackson announced the object of the function of the committee, to will toward Mr. Dudley on the part of the progressive people of the nation's capital, with whom Mr. Dudley has in the past been a friend, neighbor and business man. "Mr. Dudley has shown himself to be a true race man as well as a talented and successful artist, said Mr. Dudley, and people of Washington wish to encourage him to go on with the S. H. DUDLEY. good work he has undertaken, amid difficulties that we well understand, but which will make our purpose will be sure to overcome in the end. We have come here tonight to offer him our hand in applause of his past achievements, in praise of his presiding esteem and of his earnest support of the big plans he has in mind for the future. He is not working for himself alone. He can make his own plans, and he is not troubled. He is helping his less fortunate brethren, and he is helping the entire team, even the youngest, to the display of the Negro's artistic capacity and demonstrating that we can march, with precision and dignity, behind a theatrical captain of our own blood and the audience, and to the managers of another race who seem kindly disposed toward us. The experience here by this group of sympathetic spirits, are anxious to show Mr. Dudley that they are with him, heart and soul, in his commendable effort to solve the race竞赛. He is committed success of Mr. Dudley means big things ahead for the colored performer in the world of music and Mr. Dudley a "Creator, Never an Imitator." "S. H. Dudley is essentially a creator," said Mr. R. W. Thompson, upon being introduced as the next speaker. He has been a student of the best stage traditions, and from his naturally keen observation and unsolicable diversity he has evolved a stage personality entirely his own, with methods that are original and inimitable. With most of us (especially those who have had the opportunity to analyze the peculiarities of both the old school of Comedies, the show. We have seen some newovals. Lucas (Bland, McLeans) and Bert Williams all pass in review along with Curly, Raymond, Goodwin and Cohen. Dudley may have taken an ingredient here and there from them all, but he combination is as still as possible as possible. He has a dish from many materials, but he completed article is so unique that no savory food is available to the student. Mr. Dudley has had the opportunity to study Callender, Sam Jack, Isham, Jack Haverly, Will Cleveland, Hurtig & Gau Hill, Keith, Hammerstein, Zelifeld, Cousin and the rest, to profit by their wisdom. He can be wavered with the most unsolicable thing to be found. His little work is even their lines and reach a harbor of safety through a chart of his own makings. He has been a leader of the theater, and even there is a field here for another big theater. I expect to be there for the next group there is an ineligent demand for it, on the other hand of both the managers and the public. So say nothing of that the rapidly filling of the show is a good one. I have, if they would make the business ray Mr. Thompson called attention to the fact that Mr. Dudley succeeded Ernest Washington in Washington Bullion in the Smart Set, and made an instantaneous hit for origi- nately having never seen Mr. Horan enact the part. His success, following so long, led to a new role, and then the idol of the comedy world, surprised even his most ardent admirers, of the humorists. Mr. Thompson continued with the remark, "His triumph has been due to the fact that he has been, great, but just so different from the rest." Mr. Thompson then gave a brief resume of the career of Mr. Dudley from his per- sonal knowledge of the man and his work, and painted a glowing picture of the El Dorado that awaited the Negro in the theatrical firment, when managers, actors, and members of the full realization of the immense possibilities that lie in the development of a colorful firm that an book high-class act, actors and members of the standard type, bring forward artists of every description and guarantee adequate talent to elevate the mood and intellect of the plan. The production and the full realization of all engaged in the business, from stage hand to impressario, interchange of opinion, ought to be held often, said Mr. Thompson. "Let this friendly imagination, joining our of its kind as it goes down the mountain side, will make a mighty river meet a dam, or an improved opportunity, unlimited, expense, measurable in its depth. with a strong bill. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Bornw will be able to make the house go. There is ample room for a first class theater both inside and outside, said to be the life of trade. Mr. Brown went to New York this week to book attractions for the Majestic. The Odeon will be a colored theater soon, so the prophets say. This theater strictly Negro street and its license was obtained entirely through colored signers. Yet it is operated exclusively for whites. Anything anything like it in the whole country?

Speeches in similar vein, detailing experiences of a varied nature with Mr. Dudley and in the profession, were delivered by the guests, many of the performers confessing that they have been materially assisted at critical moments by the open-handed generosity of the guest of honor. The citizens found numerous incidents illustrative of Mr. Dudley's never-failing public spirit and raced with among those who spoke were Lew's Henry, Mr. Dudley's local manager; Lieut. E.R. Gaither, late of the United States Army; Judge R. H. Terrell, who came late but got in a good word; T. Spencer Finley, dubbed as the statesman-comedian; Will A. Cooke and Allie Gillam, one of the newest teams of old-time performers: Edward Tolliver, formerly of the Money's Smart Set; D. M. Mankind Childs, the promoter of the delightful event, Charles Francis Adams, manager of the Navy theater; William Ramsley, Mr. Dudley's leading man and erstwhile private secretary; Franey Paynem, formerly manager of the Foraker, and William G. Washington, a prince of chauffeurs. "There Never Will Be a Civilization Where Comedy Is Not Possible." Mr. Dudley feelingly responded to the good things that had been said of him by the crowd, and he said so well thought of, even if he did not measure up to the high mark set by them. He told of his early struggles on the march, and he was rushed. While he had traveled some of the distance toward his goal, he was still in the midst of his training, just such encouragement as had been given him tonight to keep his feet in the right path, sturdy as his determination lightens. "I have never been a quitter," declared Mr. Dudley. "When I put my hand to the plow, there is nothing for me to do. I have never been a farmer, the row is straight. I have been behind the footlights for twenty-two years, seventeen of them at the head of a company, and I have never been out with a company. The reasons are obvious. I could not get the bookings that I deemed advantageous to my people, and I could not do better for all concerned by devoting my tim to the development of my theatrical enterprises, completing my chain of stores, and opening doors that would eventually provide places of refuge for big companies and little ones that my people need. I must come upon the road, North and South, East and West. I try not to boast of my 'unselfishness. I realize that the more I do for my profession, the more of an institution to see satisfactory playhouses in all the available cities. As far as possible I want to see them financed by Negro capital, and I want to see them financed by Negro money, manager by Negro brains. We have both money and brains, if we will just put the into work, and if we want to be displayed. Washington is the natural theatrical center for operations in the East and South, and I feel at home here. We have a theater rise on U street by and by, owned, operated and staged by Negroes. Let us stand together, pursuing a policy of 'live it, live it,' and we shall all win together.

Miss Davis is a native of Okeechobee, was born in Okeechobee, and comes of the purest Southern stock, being a lineal descendant of the famous Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. * A recent cover of the Crisis carried a striking likeness of Miss Lottie Gee, of the Carrollton school, of Mrs. Wilson H. Kyer in private life. Miss Gee is one of the wisestomest women on the stage and deserves all the success she has achieved. Made a hot of friends here during their several weeks' engagement here. They are original in their humor. Their tussy dialogue is the best of its kind heard behind the footlights. * Business men are finding the slides on the curtin to be an effective advertising medium, especially when the card is something out of the ordinary. The popularity of the Howard's notion on stage is growing. Saturday nights is undiminished. The presents are useful and really worth try. The show is always on the job and his unique monologue is alone worth the price of admission. Miss Lylyn Brown, brilliant singer and droll comedian and cartoonist, are drawing crowds at Wilmington, following successful stops at Wilson and Newberna. Now that W.

Two very pleasing reunions at the theatrical home of Mrs. Elliza J. Morton and the theater group behind the holiday season. Many of the performers were present at each function. Frank Brown, a playwright and manager of considerable experience, has secured a ten years' lease on the Majestic theater in Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth street, in the business section of the city. The stand is a fine one and easy of access, making it decidedly attractive to the theater community. Its calyx is an open one and the lights of the theater can be seen from long distances, making it decidedly attractive to the theater community. Its contention fifteen years ago that this was one house that the Negroes should have had not been a success in the past two decades for white people, as the newer houses had deflected the patronage of the Negroes. The theater has been under many management in recent years, and has been known as the opera house, the Emme and the Bjig theater. Christened the Majestic. Mr. Brown is having the place entirely renovated and modernized, and is to be on the public on the 5th of January.

Well, I guess the boys are right in preserving themselves when any war top, or when those of us take it easy. Some time ago I referred to that great cartoon of the late Homer Davenport, where the stood on a battlefield of human arms and bones, the wrecks of men in their struggle upward# This one man, or one man of thousands, is successful in reaching the goal, but that he seems to be taking. So when I see bank presidents, railroad presidents, great officials of any kind, baseball presidents, pitcher presidents, great fighters at the zenith, I think that in their now seeming non-accomplished they need the rest. Or course, they must remain right along, but it is simply to maintain themselves; their reputations are made. This is practically the same thing as a case of men in other forms of life. But the cost of it all is the question. Sons and story have not been wrt that will tell of the story of the speaker of—the Davenport cartoon. The mute bones are wordless, but they are songs, and whose sense outmattered the meter, to use the ex-ample of the story of the speaker when dalying along, drawing easy funds, are simply following the law of successful fulmikng. Test must be. He compensates. Must have be. If not at the top of the world, above the clouds, then in the shady mausoleum 'neath the weeping willows—some of us. Old Fitz can do it, so he says. One is impressed with what he says along the pulsilic line. He is so in earnest. He is put out because the "white hopes" have made such a poor showing. Here is after watching two heavyweight scrappers at Madison Square Garden in New York. He is crawled through the ropes and declared he thought it his duty to challenge the entire field of white hopes. He added that he would win back the heavyweight championship from the Negro race. I have already spoken of Fitz on Reno, he was some time ago when he and his wife were playing in the street. He was eloquent as he discussed the Johnson-Jeffries fight. He was something to see when the last bit of his spirit stood up. He was a superman among lesser mankind. Negro I was all right, yet I liked his beautiful veilness of color, his spirit of strength that recognized the passing of the scepter from his race. Every nerve wasense as he clenched his great fists and his facial expression of the second seculum spirit picture which outran his physical by many feet. Then came the torents of expressions of the feel-fulness of the great crumbling like an assaulted wall 'neath that battering ram, Jack Johnson. Says he to that of Jeffries. I would crowd my soul onto his and with this mighty duck the Negro colossus down to nothing that battering ram. I was alarms—all shotted with the fire of charis and defeat, standing as the resurrection of a lost man. "The Mohicans, who, as it were, had inherited the concentrated hate of all his kind for all the things of a vengeance," if I may so call it. Had he been a savage he would have torn out his hair by the roots, would have beat the trophy within his race where it had always been. His frezy was admirable, had no share in his sentiment. I liked him, he was a man of great manhood, heightened to its utterness by what was to him a tragedy of circumstance. Doubtless Fitzsimmons thought the years following Reno would have heaved forward one of the possible many to redeem the situation of defeat. Man after man have trotted in the arena all beplumed as ancient knights, all fit hopes to strike the blow of redemption. One by one these candidates have failed to make good. The "dragon," as it were, still infests the great highway, able and ready to meet all who are willing. The recent poor showing of the white hopes has driven the grand old man from the point of forbearance. Patience is no longer a virtue. He is sick and tired of the whole ship's crew of miserables—women, faint hearts—"O, shangodaya." "Back to old Nakomis, faint heart. Like so many who have seen the lowering of colors in their walks of life are eager to grab up the standards themselves in spite of age and affliction. They are eager to be in the thick of strife with their old skill, strength, valor. The sit $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

WHAT'S DOING ALONG SPORTING LINES News comes from Paris that Georges Carpenter and Joe Jeanneette have been made famous by their very near future. Their managers said the time and place have not been selected, but they have the biggest purse available and will stay the flight where ever they can get the largest guarantee. Carpenter is the French "white hope," Jeanneette is the French "white hope," Joe Jeanneette is one of the big four Negro heavies, the quartet which separates the white fellows from their fond desire. According to report Sam Langford and Ivan Prevost, the prepared to attend to all small game, but the great Jack Johnson is the great obedient cooped men are getting out from under the embargo that was put on their activities. . . .

Arthur Duffey, the ex-amateur sprint champion, says: "They have Howard Drew, the champion sprinter, going to enter the University of California now. Before for the opening of the season, the most common of the Drew going to be Dartmouth." Later Drew was going to Brown, but in spite of all the reports Drew remained at Springfield, hustling baggage about in the Springfield railroad station and knew but little about going to the home. It was a little more of the coast he is going to make a valuable addition to the westerners' athletic team. He is about the fastest thing in a running shoe I have seen for many a day." George Carpenter, the pulissile idol of France, is not about to disilluppose at the hands of the French Boxing Federation. He was recently fined $100 and his manager multed for a similar sum for his bout with Jim Lancaster at Geneva. Lancaster, it developed upon investigation, was in reality Max Abbott, and Carpenter was changed with boxing Abbott knowing that he was not Lancaster. The other principals fared worse. Abbott was suspended for four months and the referee for nine. Clark Griffith says he is through buying nitchers. "Go out and pick 'em up," says Griffith. "That's the way. Walter Johnson felt the way. Walter Johnson. Boehling, Shaw, Bentley, Harper and Engle did not cost me a nickel. Boehling and Engle made good already. Boehling, Shaw, Bentley, Harper and Engle showing great promise." What Griffith says may be true, but the difference between Boehling and Shaw will cost Washington something before another year has passed. Griffith has entered into an agreement to pay him if Shaw makes good, while Bill Poeh, the skillful Washington writer, has asked for $1,000 in return for having tipped him. Boehling had to whistle for his money, but he is getting rather tired of making that kind of music. At Melbourne, Australia, last week Hughle Mehegan, the Australian light-weight, won the decision over Pal Brown. Boehling, Shaw, Bentley, Harper and Engle twenty-round bout. Ten thousand spectators witnessed the fight. By winning Mehegan evened up the score in a Brown, round contest at Sydney in October. FAN SAYS PLAYERS SHOULD QUIT SAYS AS THEY ARE LUCKY GROUP Few Players Have a Reason to Become Disgruntled at Conditions Today. (By Jack Veiock.) Several baseball bugs who hold membership in the hot stove league were known for their conditions under which they work in a downtown "emporium" the other day. "Why is it that ball players are always kicking. They get all the money these days and they work a short time for it. Why is it that they are the luckiest guys in the world?" This fan spoke words of wisdom, we must admit, but there are cases where they stick up trouble, and these are the cases we always hear about. If some big league team has a pretty good reason for it, there days and whether or not he happens to be a star, if he is recognized as a catcher, out of his rissatisfaction and the reasons for it, these players are comparatively few when one stops to think for a second of the hundreds of ball players in this man's land who never register a kick season in and season in baseball. The solid substance of the whole matter is the majority don't realize how well or how they are at it. It is baseball that has made them and that if it hadn't been for the national game they would be unresurgible in obscurity to earn commendations. There has been a lot of talk from time to time about the importance of downsizing of the human race. Slavacy has been linked with his name. But there is a second word used today. When a woman tries moments ball player's career, on the other hand, the opponent is up in the man alone to succeed, and the history of the game shows that practically nothing who afterward THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ascended the ladder of success. A volume could be written on this point alone. Years Ago Players Earned Little Money. Years ago ball players didn't have the same opportunity to make money that they do now. They didn't get the salaries. Few ever saved their money, and as a result, they forced to drop into obscurity. But it's different today. The wise men in baseball are awake. And when we speak of the money, we put it into history, for there are many. Enlightened by the lesson of those before them, the money they seemingly put into their hands seems in easy them for a rainy day. Success is found in baseball as well as successes. Out on the Pacific coast there is a former star who is working as a day laborer for a dollar a day. Now they are tipping off managers to embryo stars. This man is Amos Raymond, whose name is engraved in baseball's history as one of the greatest pitchers the game has ever known. Bugs Raymond was another. A truly great player, the straight and narrow path. That account for his downfall. Purely as an instance, here are the cases of three great pitchers in their favor, but their eyes weren't open. A ball player has plenty of chances to save money. The most of them do nowadays have spent the better part of their years in the game it is too late to begin at the start. Some of them are beating Father Time while they still play baseball. The unsuccessful player can't do anything else but play ball. The truth is many players, particularly in other business before they ever started professional ball careers. Of course there is that type of player who can't do anything else, but he is getting to be in the minority. COLORED FIGHTERS OUTPUNCH WHITES, SAYS, JACK LESTER Heavyweight Who Took Beating from Lance Holmes and Hits Hit Harder Than White New York. Jack Lester, the heavyweight, whom Tommy Johnson and at one time called the most promising white hope in the land, is in town. Jack is quite different from most boxers insane. He doesn't care whether he fights tomorrow or next year. He claims that he has all kinds of real estate in Taft, Cal., where he lives. Talks of Langford Fight "That is the most wide-open town in America, said Lester. "The gambling the fellows out there are the greatest sports you'd want to meet. Besides having lots of property out there I own one location where the Llangorf and I recently met. "Llangorf and I would have drawn more than $7,000 had not there been lots of property out there. That Llangorf is sure some puncher. I had him out-clevered up to the time when he put over the punch to my solar plexus. That Llangorf is sure some puncher. My seconds threw up the sponge. "I kind of glad that they don't let the colored fellows meet the white boxers. I don't like that. My class us every time they start. Somehow or other they seem to hit harder than we do. I'll meet any white man in the world. I'm confident that I can beat them all." Looks Like Flynn. Lester looks a good deal like Jim Flynn. He is a rather squatly-bell-fitted jumper, with a waistband of 8 inches in height. He is a flashing dresser and wears his watch and chain in the front pocket of his coat like the usual Western jacket. Bursch brought Lester out he took him to Australia, where the latter made quite a reputation, his greatest story being the two-twenty-round bout for the championship of the British Empire. Today he sports a diamond-sudden watch charm as a gift to his friends, which his friends in the Antipodes resard him. Fought Well Abroad. Lester also fought Sam McVey twenty rounds, but lost the decision. He was also knocked out by McVey in nine rounds. Since returning to this country Lester has won a twenty-round decision from Jack Hempel, who is managed by Alex Greggson and played in a twenty-round game. Charlie Horn at Bakersfield won twenty-round decision from Kid Kenneth, who holds an eight-round knockout over Al Kaufman to his credit; knocked out Mark O'Donnell at Taft in eleven rounds. He dropped Young Al Kaufman in nine rounds. FORCE BOXERS TO QUIT GAME WHILE YOUNG Ad Woolast, at 25, is practically through as a fighter, at 28, and through as a rumber at 23. All three were champions of their profession and listed among the most rugged of them. That tells the big part of the story of the ring game, the most wearing and tearing of the ring game is the only one in which a man is through in his profession while still in his youth. That is still one of the greatest trainers and drivers of trotting and pacing horses. Cy Young, who retired in 2013, is still one of the greatest pitcher at 45. William Learned 18 champion tennis player at 32, Jerome Travers is national champion, Baldwin, at 33, has failed to be counted out by Father Time. Constant reducing of weight to make 133 pounds, the lightweight limit, caused the death of Joe Gans. Constant reducing of weight has worn the life of the fighter. The terrific grind of training, the sacrifice of strength and nervous energy to overcome the battle wear away the silk of a fighter with more telling effect than any work connected with any other form of athletics. Bat Nelson was so tough and rugged that he was beaten by Wolkast in 1979 before he was beaten by Wolkast in 1980, fight being stopped. That sounded the time when he was knocked out for the first time by Owen Moran, and has been of little value in the ring since. He was beaten by Willie Ritchie, and is about to retire at the age of 60, at 28, reached the end of his string and was beaten by Johnny Kibane, age 24. Jimmy Britt's career ended when he was beaten by knockouts followed by knockouts by Gans, McFarland and Summers in quick succession. Billy Papke, at 22, was knocked out by Ketchel, and since has been able to go only with second-raters. In the Indian cricket, at 18, was beaten by Kibane, and is listed among the second-raters in his profession, although still too young to vote. The records of fighters show without doubt all of the all sports is the most strenuous. SWEDISH SCHOOLBOYS EXCEL Training System Brings Astonishing Athletic Results. Experts who have visited Stockholm to watch the practice of the Swedish athletics in 2013, combining athletic results ever achieved by any system of training hitherto known, Schoolbool Swedes easily clear a six-foot pole in the high jump, 5 feet 9 inches is nothing of importance. Other events reach the same high standard as an everyday occurrence. Thus the average athlete in Stockholm is higher than it is in England. It is all the work of a single trainer. He explained that it was due to the work of a coach, rather than the work of an excessive natural ability. They don't practice any more. They are not more professional. It is simply that they do work in the wrong manner by going at things in the wrong manner. It is the same with running. When the Sweden is running it will be difficult to do the basic style is no effort to him. As a Russian said, "The Britsiser is so mortally afraid that he will be regarded as a professional the next time heuffer that he remains a duffer all his life." ENGLISH AND AMERICAN FIGHTING THE CLASSIC FIGHTING GROUND. Eighteen or twenty English and American boxers are now in Australia, and none of them appears anxious to come home. The going must be pretty good over the night, and the lightweight, is among the latest arrivals in the land where Jack Johnson wrested the heavyweight title from Tommy Burns, and he has been given the task of bat. He has been given the task of stumping the Australian lightweight champion, although it was my impression that Freddie Welsh took it away from him. Brown has made a good impression in the tournament, but he will run him up against the toughest proposition they had for a starter. The following list gives an idea of the material he will draw from during the coming season. It now looks as if the California boxing promoters would proceed with the game which a large majority of the people like, but which is hammered every time an accident happens. There is no outcry when aviators or automobile racers are killed, and if some one is hit on the head with a baseball it goes as an accident. Boxing and football are the sports that have to take the kicks and cuffs. Most of those who raise the cry of brutality are well-meaning people, but they look through narrow angle lenses. No one who is really interested in the good of any sport objects to commonsense reforms, but that is not the idea of the alleged reformer. He desires to exterminate, and to accomplish his ends he continually uses shop-worn briefs. YOUNG GEORGE DIXON CHALLENGES THE WORLD AT 122 TO 128 The South Side Athletic Club has made several efforts to annex his name to a set of articles, but in vinaigrette and record in the 1914 Sporting Annual, and I do hope to get a chance to show down there in the near future. Should I be given a chance to play, I will see as soon as possible. For five years I have boxed cleverly and I know nothing else at present, so they can expect to see a wonderful scrap of speed and cleverness, no matter who I do battle with. Ierry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hoping an early reply, I am, Respectfully, YOUNG GEORGE DIXON. Hotel Del Prado, Chicago, Ill. IS BATTLING NELSON BROKE AFTER LONG RING CAREER! Battling Nelson broke? It is a hard matter to believe that the fighting Dane has come to the end of his string as a captain, but in his ring career of seventeen years he has pulled down more "green persimmons" than any lightweight in the busi- But Is Hard Up. There must be something to the report, as Nelson let it out after his bout with the 2,500-man team at $2,500 that he was badly in need of ready cash. This appears plausible to those who know him, as he has made a name for his real estate and mining propositions, besides a ture in a New Mexico ranch and another in California, which turned out to be a success. Billy Nolan, his old manager, stated that "Bat's money had been sunk in several doubtful mining schemes which had failed to materialize on anything but cash." Is Property Poor. Coupled to these non-producing ventures in the financial world is Nelson's *Sixteen Years*, a book given to alcoholic excess, we must naturally come to the conclusion that Battling Seventeen years is a long time to stay in a game which is the toughest in the world to beat, clean up and deal and win. Nelson and have only been played against the check-rank. Nelson is a native of Copenhagen, Denmark, who is a little over 31 years. He didn't lose much time after he cleared the gangplank at the pier in getting busy with the game. His First Fight. His initial appearance was with Kid Albert, and he was a little over 1886. Wallace was the mascot with the Wallace circus, and Bat, by stopping him when he was too tall, and forthright, forthright, and so large, round silver dollar. He took more punishment in his time than ten ordinary boxers could stand up under, and wound up each time a grand-stand finish and good-natured grit. KID FIELDS ISSUES CHALLENGE Defeated By Billy McClure. On the 10th day of December, 1913, I boxed Billie McClure at West Baden, Ind., and found him to be one of the best little girls in the world. I met me a fair and square defeat, and I have no klec to make. I only hope is game enough to box me once more. I was tired of playing box in that city again at the next show. I issue a challenge through this paper for a bout at the same place with Billie, and I wish to box with one arm free the neck. I am also open to box any featherweight in the world. I can be reached through the mail. Edward Barber Shon, Indianapolis, Ind. KID FIELDS, Featherweight. TENER WILL DEMAND STRICT DISCIPLINE ON BALL FIELD. New National League Head Says Umpires Should Be Positive, but Reasonable in Making Decisions—Says Players Have Right to Be Heard. "Strict discipline on the baseball field is one of the most important jobs K. Tener of the National League will demand off his umpires, according to his secretary, David Leroy Reeves, with whom he has discussed the umpire position. He can preserve order on the ball field is the umpire, President Tener said, and he added by way of emphasis that, in matters of umpire position, the umpire is not specially guided by rules, he should be supreme. President Tener's idea of what the ideal utterer should be was expressed as follows: "I do not wish to be understood as meaning that an umpire has the law of dictatorial manner should be dictatorial, his attitude arrogant and his entire demeanor evidence a self-satisfied air that would brook no argument or indifference to him. An umpire should be conciliatory but firm, positive but polite, quick but demonstrative, strict but reasonable. The new president said he was opposed to the general practice employed in meeting out punishment t o players for offences "One of the cardinal principles of justice is that every man should have an equal right to the same side of the case. If a player is guilty of the charges submitted by the ampire, and has no equitable or reasonable basis for the charges and counsel of the child, can be served just as well by us." pending the player three or four days after the violation has occurred and all the other players will investigate as by an immediate suspension following the report of the arbitrator. To my mind the club owner is really the one who suffers most by a player's suspension. In the case of an assault the team and in the end the club owner is the real sufferer. The reason by which such cases should not be considered in the case of an attitude possible and by all means obtain the facts in the case from both sides. If the player is punished by suspension. FAVORS BOXING COMMISSION Male-elect Benjamin Bose of Evansville, Indiana, will be the appointment of a boxing commission to the fight game in this city after he was elected to the position. The matching match here there were more than 800 paid admissions, convincing Mr. Bose to participate in the sport. Permission to hold boxing exhibitions will have to be obtained from this city, and the must be pulled off under its supervision. KID SAM IN THE RING. Wishes to Hear from Good Ones. Kid Sam, and not Kid Low, as The Freeman had it last week, is back in the ring and would like to hear from good ones, such as Kid Fields, Young Lowery, Kid Turner, Kid Hoy, Young Joe Gans, and others.
