Prejudice Is Barrier "The great job of the Negro is to beat down the walls of a century old prejudice that has been built up just to you. Be true to your wives, your children and your homes. Throw aside jealousy and mourn way, for courage. Frank F. Stevens, secretary of the club, said that the sanitation had given 100 persons shelter tree of charge at its headquarters, 3005 South Street, and that he was blighted by 10.23 persons. Employment was found for 600 men and women and a department was maintained to teach Negro women how Discrimination Shown. "The year has been a bad one for the Negro race," said the secretary. "Under discrimination has been shown against Negroes in the government service, while in our cities have been openly discussing the issues of briefings in the country, forty-seven of infections were Negroes, and only in one of the hospitals of the city has a wretches accused of crimes against women. Bluest Bandist Church 900 persons celebrated the anniversary. The chief speaker was the Rev. H. J. Callis, pastor of the government church. "We have had as many as 14,397 members of our race in the employ of the government," said the Rev. H. J. Callis, pastor of the government church. "We have been spent upon our education, we have been 385 more than $70,000,000. We have reduced illiteracy more than 50 per cent. among our people. Our progress has been equally striking in other Dr. U. G. Dailey to Visit Tuskegee. Known Nationally. Dr. Dalley has become nationally known, not only by the many cases of malignant brain tumors, but by his work with skill and technique, but by his articles he has contributed to surgical science in our article, published in *Surgery*, Gynecology and obstetrics, one of the highest class medical journals in the world, has been widely quoted and commented upon. Dr. Dalley has been an associate editor of the National medical journal, the name of the national encyclopedic *Euro physicians, surgeons and dentists*. Studies Abroad. last year Dr. Dailley spent three weeks abroad, making a study of the science his profession and visiting the great hospital in the city, where he returned greatly benefited, and his mod- and surgical experience has been widely acknowledged, and now he ranks at the top of many men of his profession in the great Wesley States actively in Provident and Wesley University. He has one of the largest office practices in the city, is well liked and honored by his peers, and has a great credit to his race. This is the charm of the man that will visit Tuskegee and this is the man that will leave an impress the Freeman wishes him a delightful trip. Tom Cole and Howard Catlin Freeman predicted that the Cole & Catha Heath and Buffet, at Thirty-fifth and State streets, would be successful. He opened in October amid a blaze of glory over ever since. This has been due to the location, the first-class goods sold, politeness of the employees, cleanliness of the place, and the general good fellowship of the proprietors. Mr. Cole had been in business successfully for a number of years. He was in the "Windy City" several months, looking the ground over for a location. Finally he became a member of the Appointment Club, and a clairmaker by trade, and the two went into business. Their place is one that would have been in the office, but man that has a spark of manhood in him or race loyalty should patronize them rather than the other white places that have a spark of manhood. Catlin have no complaint to make, however, as their trade is fine, and the best billiards there, meet their friends and have a "smile" that comes directly from Kentucky. The hotel is modern, steam heating light and bath, centrally located. Guest of President Hamilton The Freeman correspondent will be the guest of Mr. Frank Hamilton, president of the Appomattox Club at its annual induction banquet. The membership has become so large that no guests will be invited save the press members. The banquet is the largest in the city, and among men in the city. Some very able addresses will be heard on that evening. Col. John R. Marshall Resigns Col. John R. Marshall has tendered his resignation as colonel of the Eighth Regiment, a unit of the Army no longer head the greatest military organization of colored men in the world. He went to Cuba during the Spanish-American war. He has made an ideal officer, a leader, and a leader in the regiment, and a leader in military and public affairs of the city; above all, a home man of exemplary life. His success will be elected January 12 at the Armory. Miss Vetolia Hayes Back Miss Vetelia Hayes returned to the city last Friday from Indianapolis, Ind., where she was the guest of Miss Mable Smith, the man.

Marshall, now a member of the bar of the city of New York, spent the holidays here with his family. Lee L. Whipner, who is writing some "scavenger" stage, came down from New York last week to over some important matters with Managers Dudley and Henry. S. H.

DALLAS, TEX. Get That Poll Tax Receipt—One Dollar for One Year's Reading—Pay Now—Lodges Growing—Race Getting Better. (By Col. J. G. Griffin, 2922 Cochran Street.) It is worth of note that the holiday passed off here without any serious trouble among our people. The large number of loud mouths here and there have had the opportunity to make an appearance placing the toes at the various meeting places to the feet, who have been the victim of circumstances. When it comes to being in the cafes in the metropolis, it is a very noticeable fact that they can stay out of the long green lattes and the spreading of joy with the trimmings. Just ask anyone who has taken the chances to stay out with the lard and the coffee. Mr. Griffin P. Mayes had a family getting-together holiday dinner at their beautiful residence in South Dallas last Tuesday, for their sons and their joyable afternoon was spent and the excellent menu was the talk of the guests.

Frames was called to Bunkley, Le to attend the wedding of one of her sisters during the holidays. Let the members of the race get together on enterprises that will live longer. There are several thousand good men and hardworking boys right here in Dallas, who would take a financial interest in the business, and that will prove a success to all the promoters and not just a talkative few, as has been the case for years gone by. They will be working hard and do business. Does the race need a laundry, a mercantile business, a community class dry goods and shoe store, a class dry goods and shoe store, and yards and other kind of business that could be made a financial success started and financed by the plain, common, working people. So sooner you begin the better off you will be. Mrs. L. C. Bradford, of Fort Worth, had a day of pleasant memories recalled by working with Mrs. M. G. Smith, 2523 Commerce street, East Saturday. She returned home all smiles. Mr. and Mrs. D. M. V. Myers visited their mother and family and other relatives and friends in Mexico and returned home looking glad. Mrs. T. J. Bell, daughter of Rev.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION There always will be prejudice in the world, but we can get along without so much discrimination. Mayor Bell enters on his term of office under most favorable auspices. Much is expected of him, but no more than has been promised by his party and by himself. One London lady has said that the tango dance was too modest. Just wait until she sees it served up right. But really her reply was meant as a witticism, one would think. Perhaps Mexico will stumble into peace. Little Peterkin wished to know of old Caspar what it was all about. The period of reflection may set in, when even the obtuse Mexicans will begin to inquire what is it all about? A most considerate winter so far. In fact, nothing has happened to remind us of the season's possibility. However, we don't want to forget that we've two tough months just ahead. If old Winter gets right he can give us all we may care for. We are in well in the year 1914. We have advanced as the years have advanced. A few difficulties have beset us. But in the sum total the sign is that of advancement. A long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together will get us well over that obstruction, discrimination. John C. Bankett has drawn a nice plum of the new municipal administration. He has been appointed to the department of chemistry. Mr Bankett is a bright young man, well informed, and ambitious to be of service to his race and party. He was Indianapolis-reared—"made in Indianapolis"—a sign of quality. The mayor made a good start in his administration when he chose Mr. Bankett. Indianapolis has lost its most distinguished Chinaman, Moy Ah Kee who died last Tuesday. He was well regarded by the Chinese and by the citizens generally. He was at one time known as the mayor of the Chinese. Moy Kee, as he was familiarly called, was not without honor in his own country. Owing to meritorious service rendered some of his countrymen he was made a nobleman of the fourth rank. He lost his title through what was considered irregular transactions by the Chinese government. News comes from Cincinnati that ex-Senator J. Benson Foraker may come back. He will attempt to wrest the senatorial toga from Theodore E. Burton. In a statement the former Senator said: "If I should become satisfied that the Republicans of Ohio desire me to become a candidate, it would gratify me to receive their support at the primaries and election." The Republican party, we take it, will hail the return of the Senate with pleasure. This is certainly true of the Negroes, who think well of him. A. C. Faulkner, who came recently from Liberia, Africa, to this country, is not thinking strongly of returning. He has been lecturing, giving rosy-colored views of that country with the hope of interesting persons sufficiently to go there. According to report Mr. Faulkner is not over-anxious to get back home. He has accepted the management of a theater. This in face of his money has been raised to defray his expenses back to that country. What's said of Mr. Faulkner may not be true. If it is it makes for a very embarrassing situation for the American friends of the little Negro republic. In one of our publications someone is parading the old question of slavery being a crime. Of course, we all know that the abstract idea of slavery is mean and base; it may be thought of as criminal as it concerns its meanness. But we American Negroes have no kick. Slavery instead of having been a crime in the instance, has been a blessing, positively. We can well shudder to think of the condition from which we have been snatched. And if we are in doubt about that condition, we may turn to the land of our force fathers and see ourselves as we would have been, as it were, in a looking glass. The tango dance is in right in London in spite of the sporadic attempts to put it to the bad. A news note from that city this week has it: "A special matinee performance given at a London theater for the edification of peers and church dignitaries who recently expressed disapproval of the tango, resulted in giving practically a clean bill of modesty for the much-discussed dance. Duchesnes, countesses and bishops in large numbers were invited, but they, whether present or not, did not advertise their participation. She was among those invited, wrote that she regretedly she would not be in London when the performance was given. The result of a vote taken among the audience was 731 to 21 in favor of the modesty of the tango. One guest wrote on her card that the dagee was "so modest it bored her to tears." OUR NEW MAYOR. Our new mayor, Joseph E. Bell, is "out there" in a splendid platform of principles. No mayor that Indianapolis has ever had has expressed himself more clearly or more forcibly in an inauguration speech. In it he still concludes to be a Democrat, holding that the interests of the citizens will be served none the less. He will not renounce his party by actions that declare him a greater thing—he will be a party man. He will surround himself with party men. In this respect he is ciennity right, for, as he says, his party as such fought in the open, under the banner of certain convictions and principles, consequently it is up to it—his party—to see that these convictions are carried out. If there is failure the responsibility is certain. Parties are the hope of republics. And if men do change, switch about often, the party idea is none the less. The changing and switching are simply whips that lash them to their duties. Independent voters throw themselves in this party and then that party to the end that the desired good obtains. Mr. Bell's preelection promises were known. They were indorsed at the polls. He spoke officially for the party. He was seeing to it that his party is responsible for what happens during his administration. According to his speech Mr. Bell will be the only head of his administration. He will have no "aid-decamps" or sidelights by way of cabbels or commissions. To have these would reflect on the competency of the mayor, he says. The new mayor created some consternation when he pronounced that he had been considered the civil service system. However, not sound this note without some reason, at least, from his viewpoint. We quote him on this point: "It has been reported in the newspapers that the former administration established a so-called 'civil service commission' in connection with the department of public safety. I have searched the records to endeavor to find in what manner this commission was created, but can find no record of its establishment. I have been informed by one of the appointees of the administration that this so-called 'civil service commission' was created by a verbal order of the former mayor and that the commission was not regarded of sufficient importance to even make its selection a matter of record. "I consider that the attempt to establish this so-called 'civil service commission' was merely an effort to shift a responsibility that should have been borne by the mayor and his board of public safety, and was at the same time an effort to satisfy the whims of a certain newspaper. I understand that this commission has assumed the right to say to the board of public safety whom that board will be permitted to appoint in either the police or fire department. This is a service which should be performed by the board of public safety and I have selected three competent men who are thoroughly capable of performing this duty." He goes on to show what happened under the so-called "civil service commission" during the recent strike. What happened is known by all. The Freeman is not prepared to say where the inefficiency was. Perhaps it was a situation that could repeat itself under any administration, under the best administration possible. Mr. Bell thinks otherwise, and he is entitled to his opinion. In other respects his administration plans are approved by the citizens in general. He has spoken in the interest of the citizens and in such a way as to command their admiration. In fact, Mr. Bell's speech is so admirable that he should be read entirely. The introduction is written in expression. He said at the outset: "My election to this office did not result alone from what might be termed merely the fortunes of politics, but it was the result of a fight upon a well-defined issue placed before the people in the last campaign. The real issue of the campaign was that the affairs of the city of Indianapolis should be administered solely in the interest of the people, free from the dictation or control of any selfish or outside influences." Then, again: "I now, at the outset of my administration, renew my pledge to the people that every power available in the city government shall be brought into action to redeem these pledges. What little success I have achieved in private life I believe has been mostly due to the fact that when I gave a man my word I endeavored to make it good. I have now given my word to the public to do certain things, to bring about certain reforms, and I now intend to see that this word is made good. A man can not achieve any greater honor than to have it said of him that 'he is a man of his word.'"

Discrimination against the Negro was the topic at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in New York on January 5. Oswald G. Villard, chairman of the board of directors of the organization, presided, and was one of the principal speakers. He protested against the recent discharge of colored employees in the federal service at Atlanta, Ga., and quoted the collector at that point as saying that "there was no place for a colored officeholder in the South." He put the organization on record as demanding that Secretary McAdoo declare himself on this question. Mrs. Belle C. La Follette, wife of Senator La Follette, spoke against the department of War in the federal departments at War in D.C. (D. W. E. H. Dubois and Charles E. Russell spoke on similar problems said to confront the Negro race. The convention is attended by delegates from all parts of the country. Its reports show good gains in membership. Some discrimination is reasonable to expect. Some discrimination is practiced against all lowly peoples. That is to say, that the uncultured, poor, ignorant, and underpaid are maintained for aristocracy. The Negro race could well endure such discrimination. It could well endure that which sees it in common with those of a class. But it is not that way. The Negroes have been barred from the privileges that are known by what may be called the common people. It is a hopeful sign to know that it which sees the poor and intelligence have become interested in seeing that there be a minimum of discrimination. These are the new abol- tionists, and whose services are very much needed. every sept forward for the success and progress of the race to the higher civil life is impeded—this one route—prohibiting a true entrance in the spiritual life of the nation. We may grow in wealth, in education, in numbers, in all ways, and yet unless we can enter, in an appreciable way, the affairs and concerns of the country we are scarcely more than spectators. In fact many leading men insist that the relations along this line are so uncordial that that warm allegiance to the country should hold on them. The situation discourages bribbing, and yet the race is expected to be loyal at all times, in expression and in thought.

Miss Julia Harris enters Crutcher of Georgetown, the host of Simpsonville. The host of the country which should hold on them. The situation discourages bribbing, and yet the race is expected to be loyal at all times, in expression and in thought. Messrs. Thomas, Okaia, were the guest Mrs. William Davis, and the Young Men's Ideal. Ten million people are far too many to discourage in patriotism by useless discrimination. That it will exist in some mild form is not unreasonable, as before stated, but when a people are inconvenienced and humiliated to an embarrassing extent it is not reasonable. SLAVERY IN ITS RESULTS WAS A BLESSING. Speaking of slavery as being a crime, a contemporary had this to say of A. L. Jackson, who won the class honors of Harvard: "But if we assume that some Negroes have eclipsed white rivals in worthy fields, can we longer hold that slavery was a crime? Is there a native Negro in his own land who has so high? Is there a Negro in any area who has done so well? Then is it not fair to believe with some leaders of the race that slavery in the Southern States was the best school for the Negro?" Sure, sure, as horrible as the thought is. Not merely because of the Jackson incident, but because of the ten thousand incidents which in the aggregate have sent the American Negro a-soaring above all others. We sorrow for those who fainted and tell in the struggle to make this day possible. Their history, however, was not very much different to that of all early peoples. The posturity of those is not grieving about the rocky route over which they came. They rejoice in their new-found freedom, their advance charging the past up to the advent of a station. The hurdles of the past permits no rejoicing in the sense of exaltation; on the other hand, it does not call for sackcloth and ashes. It calls for a preme satisfaction. The good and bad of it all have met and neutralized in the interest of humanity; for as we are lifted up the world of mankind is lifted up. PRESIDENT WILSON WORKING ON HIS MESSAGE. PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss., January 7.—President Wilson began work to-day on one message dealing with anti-trust law, which he delivered shortly after his return to Washington. Just what this new message contains is known only to the President. No inking of the message was submitted to the Cabinet members and Democratic congressional leaders. When the President finished his golf course and Negro approached the presidential group "I'm Ben Williams, Jeff Davis's old body servant," he said, and "I wanted to meet Mr. Wilson." He stepped forward and shook his hand. He asked the Negro's age. "I expect I'm 75, anyway," he replied. As the President hosted his cottage after golf he distributed candy to the children who greeted him along the way. The little ones flocked around his cottage and piled him with scores of questions.

Chicago and the Middle West If one will accept the baggage public of Chicago and the West, "The Wrong Mr. President" is the best colored musical comedy since the days of Williams & Walker, "The Red Moon" and "The Oyster." The theatrical public of the Middle West was not accepted. The Company and the advent of the company in this territory was looked upon with skepticism, but in all the cities where it was presented, after the first performance the crowds grow nightly, and before the week's end it was necessary to hang out the company. We did that a return, engagement would assure us crowded houses nightly. We are very grateful to the people of the Middle West for their approval of Wrong Mr. President." The show has not only been an artful success, but a social success as well. We most prodigial hospitality. Those McCahn and More Shrewsbury properties, and their afternoon funeril honor of the entire company, the cafe was beautifully decorated and is smoother recess than leading edifice. The company was even Tam and "Silver," an they are affectionately called "their children," were born to her children. Tom opened the relationships with a short speech that would have done some impression. He exhibited the marks of the company and assured the company that he would be by former "Silver set" companies. Tom Lemonier, smiling and affable, looked after the comforts of the guests, and was a company of entertainers which delighted the gathering with their songs and music selections. The company is composed of a fellow team, following Dave Payton, the James Sisters and others. After the festivities Mr. McCain, Mr. Sheechar Tom Lemonier, Tom Langton and several other prominent business men attended the evening's performance and the reception. Corwell, the genial manager of the company, Tony Langton, chief of publicity, looks after the advertising business of the Pompei. It would be hard to find a more enjoyable experience at the end of the business. Mr. Langton possesses all the requirements of a publicity man, and contributes greatly to the wow-factor success the Pompei is now enjoying. Messer, Mogan and Stephens, proprietors of the company, extend hospitality to the "Smart Set" Company. All who accepted their invitation are warmly welcomed and doffed extra clothes. One of the first to welcome the company upon its arrival in Chicago was Mr. Russell reviewed the show, a critically domestic poet and common philosopher.

Mr. Robert Roone (colored), better known as Bob, died in Bonton, Ala., after a long illness. He was white in the employ of the Small-Young Company's shows. He had left the Great-Order Sheesley's shows in Marlton, Ala., from places like New York and New Jersey, and he was in the employ of the Small-Young Company's shows for three days only, with the Prentice Olivers Troubleshooters. At his bedside gathered a host of his friends, both white and colored, who now mourn his death. He was a performer, a gentleman and an actor who knew all the stage shows he planned will mark the steps once taken by this young man who was successful to win. We the undersigned, are thankful to all who sympathized with us and his mother and family in this hour of their bereavement.

Mr. Robert Boone was a native of Washington, D. C. Respectfully submitted by Mr. Prothes Miriam, Mr. Roy Gibson and Mr. Harry Bell. Grand Ending for the Day's Celebration—Five Hundred People Turn Out to Hear the Young Men—Both Proved Themselves Worthy of Their Heralded Ability. "It was a grand affair," seems to be the popular way to describe the Sissie (Sable recital) which was given on New Year's Eve. The finale of the day's program. The above quotation was heard on every hand after the performance was "Ave Maria" from "Cavalier Rusticane," songs by Mr. Noble Sissle, and the violin obligato played by Mr. Theodore. Mr. Sissle, the soloist of the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER 1930 evening, seemed to be better than ever in his attack and temperament. His number was that coolest of the dekkers of DeKoker, and Sissle put all the feeling of a Caruso or the extremely passionate portions of the song. At times he might have been instrumental in some of his portentio passions, but after the audience, and he got them. After all, the deviation from the general tone of things seems to be what catch the public. Mr. Cable, the vibrator, who, like Mr. Sissle, is an Indianapolis product, also many friends and a favorite. Unusual a big friend, he was a most worthy assistant to Mr. Sissle. Of course, there was one man made, only to say each one was a star in work. The number that was best rendered by Mr. Cable was Concerto in A. Cable displayed wonderful technique and tousal quality. At all times he was the master of his instrument and possessed that skill. Cable displayed successful skillful, that of tenement. The accompanist of the evening added greatly to the success of the artist. Mrs. Cable curated the curature of the evening, at all times she was in sympathy with singer and player, her shading, expression and interpretation were noticeable passions to the curature of the evening. Mrs. Cable gave monologues, which were well rendered and received. for "Little Tin Gee Gee" to the curature as well as "Out to Old Auction Mary's." She responded to an encore with a selection from Dunbar, "Is It 'Oo%'?", which will leave a savory taste in the music lovers' hearts for many days, as it was by far the best recital given in Indianapolis for quite awhile. Mr. Sissle's recital was the number on the Y. M. C. A. lecture course. Save money on The Freeman. From the Freeman's 2014 yearly subscription will only cost you $1. EASTERN THEATRICAL NEWS.

There are various forms of insurance, but we wish now to deal with only one phase of the question, which is health and accident insurance. This form of insurance is becoming more popular year by year, and The Freeman is pleased to note that our race is coming to realize the necessity of this newly formed form of insurance protects the insured and his family when, on account of disability from sickness, accident, health or this newly formed other words, it provides or continues the income when we are unable to continue it ourselves. When illness comes to our families the income decreases and these expenses increase. In this, the early part of the new year, we want to impress our family with the necessity of incurring some form of protection against the loss of time from sickness and accident, and if you are not already insured in some good company, see to it that the month of January does not pass without your assistance. Some good company. While there are many good companies in which you can insure, many companies and takes pleasures in recommending them as being of the very highest quality in Indianapolis, Ind., the Empire Health and Accident of Indianapolis, and the National Life and Accident of Nashville, Fenn. are all companies in whom you can insure.
