Music Lovers Enjoy Hure-Richardson Recital. A huge and fashionable audience acceded Maud Maund Curey Hare, of Boston, to the eminent harbore, Friday afternoon at the Howard Theater. The illustrat- rical given by these talented artisans, the Washington's music lovers, as the fre- equent and spontaneous applause amply testified to the success of the auspices of the Washington Conserv- tory of Music, and was a part of the series of public recitals presented by the Washington Shall's admirable institution. The di- rect managers were Dr. W. H. Conner and Joyce G. Cuney, and they accrued the technical technique of defining sympathetic. She made an excellent expression and a return engagement with the family welcomed. Mr. Richardson was an appreciative audience. His resi- sonal wide range of tone, and intelli- gent and interpretive of selections that ran through the plantation to geems from the church gave evidence of careful study and a warmly that stands him in good stead in the broad a field of music lore, as it is, to portray the pro-cess of the Negro in this line of endeavor. Hare well prepared thesis dealt with the history of African and Negro folk Music with grand and illustrious of the "Bamoulds of the West Indies" by Coleridge-Taylor; "Songs of Saints" by Songs of Negro Minstrelry, 185-1857; "Influence of New" by Margaret Tayler; "Present Day Composers", "The Musician and Composers of Color", and "Modern Composers". Each variety of musical composition or work was followed by typical demonstration by Mr. Richardson, some of the most notable beggars, the Gumman Canoe" (L. S. Steele), "J. E. Stewart", "Creole Candle" (Gale), "Poy Piti Lolotte", H. T. Burleigh), "New to the End", (Maud Cuney Hard and W.

The Conservatory of Music, founded by her, is one of the standard institutions of America receiving at the hands of the race. The next offering in the Conservatory's recital season is to be the comic "Stonewall's Locksmith," staged by William Spencer. The date is to be announced. The Generosity of General Forrest. Gen. Henry Forrest, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who knows as much about railroading as the president of the company, has the biggest-hearted, one open-handed philanthropists in the country, fighting to be unfurled over the Old Fellows' immense building at Atlanta will be remembered as one of the signal men in the history of the railroad. General Forrest is liberal, without being ostentatious. It has now become astonishing that he must be repositioned to the Home Office Girls of the District of Columbia 100 yards of dress cloth for the girls. The book will be for somebody and we opine that when the Book of Records is opened on the Great Day, the name of General Forrest will stand near the top of the first column. Seentor Clapp Asked to Aid Judge Terrell. Race Conference Says Good Word for President. A race conference was held this week at the Mosmopolitan Baptist Temple, under two general Civil Rights Heads, the Rev. William H. Hemingway and the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew is president. Many matters of moment to which the race conference was enthusiastically thanked for the appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell to the municipal bench of the District of Columbia, for his attitude toward the race, as reflected in his resistance of the attempted raid of anti-civil service "spoilsmen" upon the general government. It was made plain that the action of the conference was against the opposition in or against bias, but its utterance came from a desire to let the world know that the Negro is patriotic, lawful, and sovereign. The conference, and is intelligent enough to deal sympathetically with those to whom the American people have confided the truth about slavery in the quadrilineal Bishon Walters came in for many kind words during the conference. He was described as "a leader of sagacity, courage and fidelity." New Race Paper for Washington New Race Paper for Washington.

Deneen was the principal speaker at the Wabash Avenue Y. M. Center, and the subject, "Has the Negro Good?" The auditorium room was crowded with men to hear the former governor, who spoke in state. He is well acquainted with many of the most prominent men of the race and especially those of the Eighth District, who had had no opportunity to dress that he had made a careful study of the progress made by the Colored Americans. He said in part: "As the Negro has had no opportunity for the development of self-reliance, of self-independence, and those members, he had no opportunity without training in any branch of skilled industry, had suddenly withdrawn from it an old company, partly oppressed but altogether repressive of the qualities of self-reliance and self-dependence and thrown upon its own resources. Obstacles Are Overcome. "It was under these adverse conditions that the Negro of the United States had industrial independence. Fifty years have elapsed since that time; a very brief period in the calendar or national progress in that area has been safely that the advancement made has been something of which the American people, and the own race in particular, may feel proud. In the industries of the country the Negro is now taking his place because of the industrial progress in the equal footing. In agriculture, 2,143,176 Negroes engaged, and the census reports show that in the economic area of property owned by them. Especially is this true in the South where such farm property increased in value from 40,458 in 1900 to $492,388 in 1911-1914. Propers In Business. "No less progress has been made in business, professional and property management, and statistics on this subject show the total value of property owned by Negroes in the United States of America to the extent of billions dollars. This is distributed throughout the entire range of property classification, transportation, commerce and manufacture, as well as in the professional fields of real estate and newspaper enterprises. In the business and industrial world generally it may be said, then, that the Negroes are meeting upon the meeting in the Tuesday's Inter-Ocean, editorially, it says. What the Negro Has Done in Freedom. "In an address before the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A. former Governor Charles Boren, following the activities of the group during the half century of his freedom, told the exact truth when he said that the record was one of which no member of the Negro community had been stepping from a 'paternal and protective' condition, where the Negro was entirely depressed to the utmost by the very nature of his condition, to a status of freedom made his problem an unusually difficult one. The difficulties of such a condition were added the natural race prejudice which existed and still exists, and the bitter prejudices of civil war, it is plain enough that the Negro's problem was one of the hardest that history records. Thus, however, is the negro's record summarized by Mr. Dugard. "It was under these adverse conditions that the Negroes of the United States began their upheaval, single for or many years, have elapsed since that time; a very brief period in the calendar of racial or national progress, safely he said, that think it safely he said that the made have been something of which the American people, and those of your own race in particular, may well be promised. That the made has been made of the Negro has made 'good'. That must be the conclusion of every unbiased observer. This fact gives the Negroes of the United States give agitators among the whites and the impulsive and frequently ill-timed and ill-judged utterances of some Negroes of the United States in the solution of the freedom problem 'the fairness and tolerance of the majority of the dominant race and the industry and continued usefulness and the great majority of 'the Negroes."

We fear it will not show up strong. Henry Allen Boyd is getting the ground broken for his next National Baptist Congress. Some men are all right—until they become obsessed with the notion that they can write poetry. Bishop Walters has his leadership on straight—as the dropping of plums here and there is showing.

There is no punishment sufficiently painful to be visited upon a rascal who wantonly circulates a rumor attacking the character of a woman. Whispered innuendo is the poisoned needle of moral society. Some of college friends have too much to the "rabbit spirit" in them to be of much service to themselves or any cause they may be called upon to represent. Don't get "skewed"—don't let any bluers "get your coat." Don't be ashamed to say you came from the South, if there is where you are from. You are not responsible for your behavior, but you are not liable for what you become after you embark on the sea of life. It is where you are going that counts. There can be no "fight" between the real friends of Dr. Washington and any movement that honestly seeks to change the country of the country. Those who try to "start something" along this line are mischief-makers and should be ignored. Mme. C. J. Walker, the successful hair cultist, has gone to Tuskegee Institute to take young people to hit the main street and the handicap of color. Mme. Walker is an object lesson in the rewards that grow out of thrift, industry and Christian faith. Genial "Phil" Waters, the acknowledged leader of the Republic of Virginia, is enking new and notable distinction—of which we shall speak in detail later. "Phil" there, with the bells on," and there is no too good for him in the "Old Mountain State." Nashville, Tenn., wants a $100,000 colored Y. M. C. A. Dr. C. V. Roman is leading a movement to be directive "get busy" when constructive "get busy" something is bound to happen. Nashvilleans have a way of getting the things they go after, and the $100,000 Y. M. C. A. structure is now only a matter of time. George F. King, a young man of experience and ability as a journalist and a graduate of Greighead, an managing editor of the Advocate-Verdict at Harrisburg, Pa. Mr. King has long contributed to the Afro-American page and has done some excellent feature work on the Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News. Bishop Quayle, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, takes up the cudgels for the fat man. Says he, in a race, has taken himself too seriously and squeaks when he walks. He is wicked, and has not half the chance the fat man has of being good. Laughter at the fat man, is the mark of humanity." Herbert A. Clark, the sometime "Hack" of the old Afro-American at Cincinnati, is the big man of "The Big Man," published a Woman, Okla. It is one of the brightest race papers in the country, and reflects the glory of a pencil pusher whom the short rights man was proud to keep more rights ago than we care to remember. Alexander Louis Jackson is the third colored man to be chosen as class orator at Harvard College. Clement Garrett Morgan, practicing law in Chicago, is the second. Jackson is the superintendent of the Washington public schools, was the second. It is Jackson who will make that he will make as creditable a showing in after life as his distinguished predecessors have done. There never was a personal fight between newspapers that did anyone an ounce of good. Washing dirty linen in public is not an edifying spectacle, but it is an important issue. If journalists have personal grievances, let them adjust them in private. The paper that prints the news is the one that issues in a broad and level-headed spirit is the paper that will win the approval of the intelligent masses. The Mosaic Guide, of Little Rock, Ark., the official of the Mosaic Tempel by its new series, great impress by his new series, E. C. Bush has our heartiest congratulations on the signal success he has achieved, his new forward steadily, until it is now one most influential race papers in the great Southwest. Of course, it will be a great meeting, the meeting meet in Muskogee next August. Dr. Washington has made note of another very potent reason why the Negro farmer continues poor. He finds the average colored farmer in the South to be 150 out of the $65 days in the year. As long as our people make this mistake, says the "Wizard," we cannot succeed. The man can succeed who works only half the time; neither can the farmer." His advice to the colored farmer to pro- and to avoid unnecessary expenditure of hard-earned cash by raising on his family and stock, instead of selling fancy prices for foodstuffs at the store. This advice is worth taking. Major R. R. Moton has been covering a large area in the interest of Hampton Institute, doing much speak-able work, and one of the race's most inspiring advocates of manhood and sensible education. At many places he has labored in Washington, and the writer will be pardoned for saying they make an "invincible team." No auditorium is large and George C. Clement to the Bench. They are "live" messengers of Christ and will put into the work of Zion a virility and forward spirit that will have long been along the full quota of ten bishops and the Louisville General Conference will doubtless give commissions to the men wanted. The second midwinter session of the National Negro Press Association was bellicose, just as we said would be. Nashville, which is a resourceful Henry Allen Boyd, outdid itself in generous hospitality. It is designed to develop into the real business powwow of the association, with the August meetings as inspirational gatherings, the parent organization, the National Negro Business League, each helping the other. One John G. Taylor, who is said to have been directly responsible for the agitation in the Harlem section of the Negro Business League, and who tried to have adopted a system of segregation by which Negroes would be barred from the best schools, shortly after the Mother Zion Church corporation purchased the property of the Church of the Redeemer in 146th Street, waged a relentless warfare. The judgment of the gods are just! The Pittsburgh, Courier must be enjoying a "full dinner pall" through a stringent legal line, as President C. W. Posey says the Courier management will not allow any wildcat advertisement, such as fortune-telling or appear in its columns. All high-class papers would refuse this kind of ad appearance, but the box would be as fat as it ought to be when payday rolls around. Substantial report is virtue's best ally. Folks who are fond of figuring say the logic of the situation points to the middle West as the meeting place of the mathematicians League in 1915. The West has had the league five times, as also has the East. With the Muskogee session the mathematicians are saying that the next swing of the pendulum would properly carry the meeting back to the East to follow in regular order. This analysis is worth thinking about. Dr. S. J. Elliott has succeeded the late William Alexander as National President of America. The selection meets the approval of the entire Order and the business is going on under the leadership of the enthusiast that marked the administration of the lamented Alexander. Dr. Elliott is said to be a natural leader in the management of business as an organizer. The Mosaics are one of the youngest, yet one of the strongest families of colleges in state to state at an astonishing rate. Here is an idea for our up-to-date colored schools. A course in the management of a century store is to be ingrained in the state educational institutions of Kansas. The Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan. Among the subjects taught are advertising advertisements for country weekdays, decorating store windows, attractive interior display of goods, handling goods, and points on buying. This kind of training is essential to young students in the merchandising business. It is vocational education of the most practical character. It deserves a place in the curriculum of all institutions that aim to make short cuts to breadwinning. The Washington Bee is right-for-once, at least. Speaking of the disgrace, take a look at how to work off malicious matter on unsuspecting editors, who must depend upon them for what they accept facts from the Bee remarkers. A man who criticizes an editor is often sninned against than sinning. He is not always the sinner—it is the man who criticizes an editor who has been imposed upon after this fashion, evidently. The Bee declares that from now on it will refuse to publish contributions to correspondent "too cowardly" in names. All articles are to be "fathered" when attacks on individuals are made, says a writer is invariably a forward and a sneak. "Raus mit 'em!" Again talking about the encouraging signs of the times, it is pleasing to see that the school has backed, a leading colored physician of Pittsburg, Pa., as district physician, to look after the poor and to respond to the needs of the students. The graduate of Howard University. Last fall he was elected school visitor of the fifth ward of the great city, and progress is noted in the installation of colored waiters in the spacious dining parlor of the great city. A living change for a large number of thrifty colored people who make up the heart of the metropolitan center. The Kauffmans have not only a firmly scathed sense of justice, but a keen eye for the Negro starts out with his pocket full of money to buy dry goods. Reciprocity is a good thing to practice. The Advocate-Verdict, of Harrisburg, Pa. under the clever guidance of George W. McCormick, the most influential newspapers and stalwart sentiment molders in the country. It is not afraid to "speak out in the meeting," and is not afraid to truth, no matter what reactionary influence it offends. It is progressive all over, and is causing a rattling of dry bones to Mr. King as editor-in-chief, the staff is adorned by T. Thomas Fortune, who is making Harrisburg his temporary home, and J. Finley Wilson, one of the best hustlers in the profession, as business manager. The Advocate-Verdict is to more and more hustlers in a few days, and is to be enlarged to eight pages. The paper is one of the most enthusiastic and loyal adherents of the National Negro Press Association. Dr. Booker T. Washington gives the Negro Press a line of criticism and suggestion that is doing a mint of good in many quarters. In Pittsburgh recently often magnified the faults of the Ne gro race and minimized its virtues. He pointed out that when Negroes were forced to wear a warrior's worthy of nation-wide notice, the unhappy white papers will hide away the report on a back page in an obscure book. The man will not give a report of any such incident, and accord a star position to a questionable rumor of a Negro's crime or a story about some unfounded scandal. He would not report on the plain speech the Pittsburgh Dispatch featured Dr. Washington's address on the front page, with an edible promotion, according him the prominence to which his station entitled him. One of the ablest men in the C. M. E. Church is Rev. L. H. Brown, for the pastor of what is now the Chestnut Hill of W. A. in Louisville, Ky., and more recently presiding elder of the Louisville dis- closing connection. He is a presacher of posthumous memory as a financier and administrator has no equal in the entire galaxy of gifted men. The branch of the Master's affairs. The Master's affairs of the C. M. E. convention will be greatly surprised if the General Conference, which is to assemble at St. Louis on June 16, 2014, Brown to the blibrocirc and then to be no surprise if he—and then to that exalted position. The C. M. E. Church will premium upon commanding ability, and will be able to it will simply vindicate the lofty claims that its friends have made for the organization of wisdom and foresight, fitting selection not could be made. The Negro's aptitude for business is shown in no stronger light anywhere in Carolina Mutual development of the North Carolina Mutual Association, which has its head office in Durham, N. C., described as the most industrial city in the Old North State, and a place where the Negro has any excuse for being idle. This company, with John Merrick, C. C. company, with Moore in the vanguard, began operation. Since that time it has written nearly 300,000 industrial policies and 10,000 industrial policies, its non-stock, and all of its liabilities, and is the reserve, which is maintained on all of its business. The company has been deposited with the insurance commissioners, and is able to enter thetection of its policymakers. It employs nearly 700 people, operates in the Carolinas and Georgia, and recently has entered into financial organizations like the North Carolina Mutual illustrate the tendency of the thinking Negro to prefer the ceramic industry, some from commercial endeavor to the precarious results offered by politics. A MOB ON THE RAMPAGE. LEBLAND, Miss. February 25—Mob cruelly seldom equaled attended the killing of Sam Petty, a Negro accused of murdering Charles Kirkland. A mob of 300 men and captured Petty, then chained him inside a drygoods box. Around the terrace, oil-soaked cotton was stuffed. While soaked cotton was begged for his life a match was applied. In his frantic struggles Petty broke the fastenings which bound him to the ground. A rifle of a dozen members of the mob fired and the Negro fell dead. The body was then replaced in the flames and burned to death. Petty was accused of shooting Kirkland when the latter tried to arrest him for a trivial crime. The Freeman in Omaha, Neb.—Fo- sale by Albin Simmons, 1313 Dodge street TO THE BLACK BOYS OF UNCLE SAM. Rifles flashed and the cannons crashed. The conflict was at its height. The fast bursting shells shucked loud that will. And they fell brave men on San Juan's hill. Most of the fallen lay stiff and still—And not all that fell were white. With hearts that thrilled, men climbed the hill. Of courage there was no lack. They faltered not when a comrade fell. But clambring up through the raging hell. They stomped the crest with deafening yell. And many of these were black. Blood ran red from the mangled dead. Ah me! it was a grewese sight! Entugled they lay, both friend and foe. Just where grim death struck the faecal jaw. So close were they none could ever know. Which was blood of the black or white. From grasses damp. to the fevered camp. Camel the death they all most feared. Bold men, who had sought the fiercest fray. Saw the yellow pest, their blood turned yellow. Brave hearts must needs fight this foe away; The black boys volunteered. With mother's care they nursed them there. Nor sought they praise or fame; But their hands were held in loving The white boys squeezed them in dying grasp, And the haltling voice, their life's last gasp, They blessed the black boys' name. Where're it be, on land or sea, There's a need for soldiers true; They're prompt to answer the Na- And stand by their country's rise or fall; They have pledged their hearts, their lives, their all To the red, the white, and blue. In closest strife, where death was rife, The black boys stood the test; And no one can say they were dismayed Or even just that they betrayed; Once once the traitor's part been played; They always did their best. Now bid me say what's a Nation's pay To the black boys true and brave; Scarred a word of the deeds they've done. The briefest mention of honors won: History, the truth, has tried to shun; Only a soldier's grave. At the battle's front they've stood the brunt, Nor even yet have died. Yet in freedom's land, where they were born, Not even their country's uniform Can protect them from the white man's scream; Me tell—is justice dead? Attention boys! and face the noise, The conflict's just begun. A MADAM C. J. WALKER President of the 'Adam C. J. Walker M.T.G. Co., and the Lekh. College, 640 North West Street, Indianapolis, Ind.

SATURDAY MARCH 7, 194 MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Old Winter has smoothed down its ruffled front. What's lost in velocity is gained in power. Vide last week's weather. 'Twas "sho" slow getting here, but O my, when it came! Spring goods are in. The shop windows are filled with them. The store people might have waited a bit before they put on those marked down sale cards. However, we must admit they do make the goods more tempting—the world is bargain mad. After one reads about what the white folk in England are doing to their handful of colored people he feels like hugging his own white folks at home. Perhaps the endearment is not expected under any circumstances, but that don't stop a fellow from thinking. President Zamor of Haiti has been visited by Captain Rassell of the South Carolina and Captain Bostwick of the Nashville, meaning the recognition of the status quo of the Negro republic. Its skein being disentangled it is to be hoped that it will not see cause to ball up anyways soon. President Wilson is making a grand effort to be a president in every sense of the word, high-toned, dignified, whose aristocracy, if any, is of a kind that constitutes one so great that he sees nothing as small. Striking an average between the big and what is sometimes considered little he gets a common citizenship. Mayor Bell is going to learn to dance so that he will not be merely a wall flower at society functions. It shows gentility at any rate. We will not think of Mr. Bell as doing the tango or any of those more intricate things, but it's expected that he lead the grand march and then hit it up a bit after that pageant is done. England takes a very sane view of the Mexican situation. The government knows that the killing of Benton was merely incidental to that peculiar war going on there. It is fearful that a studious attempt is being made to embroil the nations, and in such a way as to result in great harm, much greater than can result from letting the Benton matter rest until a better day for investigation. Rev. Dr. J. W. Wood, missionary secretary, of the A. M. E. Zion church, is in the city, which, by the way, is his home. He is looking after his church, also visiting his family, the doctor, in one of the "Missionary Seer" which with his other duties make him a very busy man. He is rendering distinguished service to his church. He is physically strong, spiritually strong, intellectually strong. The future of his church will need his services in its very best offices. Elsewhere in this issue is a set of letters, communications from railroad officials who have been approached on the subject of better facilities for the colored people. Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed letters to these officials. They responded kindly, hopefully, most of them in excellent spirit. One would think by the replies that but very little of the race problem was in existence. The officials took pleasure in assuring Dr. Washington that what could be done would be gladly done to better the conditions of the colored people on their trains. The letters were so many studies. Through them all run a vein of utmost respect for Dr. Washington. They showed a consideration for the Negroes that we were not prepared to believe. We are certain that some good result will follow the effort of Dr. Washington. Current report has it that Bert Williams, the well known comedian, will take the platform in the interest of the race at the conclusion of his theatrical engagement. He will work under the auspices of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It is thought that Mr. Williams will follow the lead of Booker T. Washington, whom he greatly admires. Bert Williams, platform orator, will be a new role for the comedian. If he is half so successful in it as he has been on the stage he will do much good. And perhaps the new field will prove quite as attractive. For the individual that, knows how to make people laugh is blessed with a great deal more ability than is generally thought. He, we take it, will be able to make people think the first step towards any reformation. Judging by the observation of Frederick Douglass' birthday here and there his memory is still respected. This being the case the effort to save his home as a memorial of him is right in line. Mr. Douglass was a tower of strength for the Negro race right in its most needy time. Perhaps his day signalized his efforts, causing him to stand out, thus he distances all of our race men so far, owing to the cause in which he was engaged. There is always a sort of habo about men who stand for the etnication of men. And when in such men are combined the qualities that make for the best men, then they become very lords of the earth. Douglass and his set were of this order. All deserve enshrinement in the memories of all men and most especially in the memories of those whom they especially served. It should not be necessary to preach to those who know the facts. Nor do we think it is necessary. We insist that when he movement to preserve Mr. Douglass, we must be careful and when the appeal is direct the money will be forthcoming. The Freeman will gladly receive your contribution, great or small. We will give you public credit for the same, and forward to the proper authorities. THE CASE OF ROBERT H. TER RELL. The case of Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, D. C., is creating considerable interest throughout the country. Mr. Torrell has served through two Republican administrations, rendering such satisfactory service that President Wilson has seen fit to nominate him to succeed himself. The action on the part of Mr Wilson is complimentary to the Negro race, not to mention the judge, who, from the very nature of his case has cause to feel gratified even if he fails in being confirmed. The President is a Democrat, Judge Terrell is a Republican, Mr. Wilson, we take it, nominated Mr. Terrell, not solely because of his satisfactory conduct of office, but as an earnest of his understood and expressed intent to have regard for the Negro race. The country at large has seen no reason to fall out with Mr. Wilson owing to his broadgauged stand. If he has not especially advocated Negroes he has shown that he is above subjecting them to any uncustomary regulations. What was done at Washington by way of segregation was the result of the various "colonels" who felt that a government had a right to discriminate among its citizens because the individual could do so, and did do so. True enough Mr. Wilson was rather silent. But his was a waiting policy as it had to be. For as satisfactory president as Mr. Wilson has been he has not been president alone. We mean that he has his advisers, his cabinet and others, men who have a voice in shaping decisions. It was these men, or some of them, we think, who influenced segregation. The Press has had the thirteen inch green of public opinion in the interest of the modification of those segregation placards. He did not wait in vain. In the case of Judge Terrell he is being opposed by the "colonels" of his ranks. These would have Mr. Wilson be less than Presidentyea, less than a man of the proper stuff. He is well aware that there are many things that cannot be done for the Negroes. The race knows it quite as well. It knows what can in reason be done. It knows that some little recognition must come else the race will slough away to political and civil nothingness. This would mean an entail of woes of every order, meaning that the country would find a nation of wards dependent on such. They would have to be such. For what ambition could there be to do anything? Who would be obligated in any way to recognize political and civil non-entities? No one. And yet that is what some of the Democrats at Washington hope to bring about. We would rather not say hope. Yet they are supposedly smart men. Smart men know what political and civil emasculation means. It means serifdom, less only the customary collars - branded with the names of the wearers. These men can not afford to have the condition that they are plotting to bring about, unwittingly, maybe, but true. Yes. Falling to confirm Judge Terrell is a part of the program that will bring the condition named about. Similar situations are likely to rise, bringing the remaining three to the fore. Will these Negro race, We hope not. They are no wiser than Mr. Wilson and a number of his party. They see sanity ingiving the Negroes consideration. They see right, and are acting right, preserving the country in spite of those who would destroy it. FAIRNESS TO THE COLORED MAN We have received the following protest, in which we are glad to join. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has heard with apprehension the announcement that the nomination by President Wilson of the federal Territory as muncipal of the District of Columbia to be hold up indefinitely in the senate, it not defeated, by the action of one senator who is determined that no colored person should be prosecuted, this procedure is most unfair under any circumstances, but particularly in this case, when the fitness of the candidate is questioned, and the protesting senator holds his seat by reason of the disfranchisement of the majority of the adult male citizens of the race prejudice in high places of our government, but it is worse when such hatred gains voice and power through the enforced silence and helplessness of the public suffer. We protest against any senator being permitted to hold up this nomination on such grounds, and we protest against this nomination of this nomination on its merits. Under the Constitution of the United States nominations must be confirmed or rejected by the entire senate, not by one member thereof. That is all that is asked in this case. It is time to have done with the foolishness of "senatorial courtesy," which, by the way, is most discourteous to nominees and to the people at large. The question is whether a given appointment is one fit to be made, and not at all whether it may be distasteful or offensive to an individual senator. This is specially true of candidates for positions in the District of Columbia, for in connection with them there can be no question of state politics. The state of the protesting senator has no more interest in the Terrell appointment than Indiana has. If the senate does its duty it will order a report on it, and proceed at once to action. It is intolerable that any one senator should have such power. Of course, the fact that Terrell is a colored man ought to have no weight. If he is qualified for the place to which he is appointed he should be confirmed. We all of us have our prejudices, and must, of course, be permitted to regulate our private lives by them—unless we can overcome them. But this is a public matter. Terrell is a citizen of the United States, and as such he has as much right to office as any other man, or woman, either. Though the individual citizen may discriminate as much as he pleases, the government ought not to be permitted to do so. The gov- AIDING THE NEGRO Under the caption of "Aiding the Negro" the Indianapolis News, one of the foremost publications of the country, had a thoughtful editorial this week wherein were set forward the views of Professor W. C. Scroggs of the Louisiana State University. It said: Professor W. O. Scroggs, of the Louisiana State University, delivered an address on the negro problem before progress, which contained some plain statements of fact, and which also offers what appears to be wise suggestions that the negro presents a social, not a political problem. That the negro has, thus far, failed to receive all the benefits of segregation, as perhaps due to politics and to indifference. For one thing, Mr. Scroggs says that segregation of races is proper, but that with segregation, as on trains, where black and white pay an equal amount. In the southern states, he says, these transportation accommodations negro, as a race, he says, can only be raised by the raising of the racial standard of living. There must be civic and economic responsibility to schools and race must be attended, in the elementary schools. The argument that the education of the negro is a burden on the white population. Scroggs declares, is without ammunition. The professor believes—as do many others, north and south—that the necromancer should be held before the negro as a reward of character." And, again, every colony in the courts. This applies particularly to the south, where, he says, it is not so much a question of the necromancer's ability as of the degraded white man being too lightly punished. This equality is necessary to improvement in racial conditions. Lynching is the curse of the necromancer, and the necromancer for the southern states have by no means a monopoly of mob violence. The sovereignty of mob should be denied and put down. Professor Scroggs Our hope lies in further education for white and black, in co-operation with black and white, in races, in greater publicity for those whose views are rational, and last, but not least, in the development of an infinite amount of patience. His patience is necessary to be secured by educational and civic improvement rather than by political methods. His condition as citizen of the nation will be a progress; his economic progress is dependent upon an increase of his wants; and an increase of his wants will come from his own efforts. The white man is guilty of injustice not merely external reforms will suffice. Such injustice is an outward sign of injustice. We must be a reform of men's souls. Better education, higher moral ideals, a general awakening of mind and spirit, a moralization of ideals and tradition, the socialization of religion—these are the fundamental needs of the hour. Above all, we must valorize the human spirit into ourselves; that if the black man is sinking we are not rising; that if he is going backward we are not going forward; and, finally, that no social regulation can endure that is not imposed on justice. This is probably the clearest expression of the negro question that has been raised in the past. It is the more convincing in coming from a southern investigator, a man who understands negroes as they are in the south, not as they may or ought to be in the states. We are aware of what may well be considered differences between the races that can not be wholly reconciled. Knowing this we agree with much that Professor Scroggs had to say. In fact, his position in the most part will be held admirable by the well thinking men of the race. We cannot see that white men of any section should take much exception to what he said. We, however, do not think he should insist that segregation is right. Such an admission throws our free institutions, out of gear from the standpoint of theory. We concede that segregation is politic at times, in some places, in many places, but it is never right. We accept it as right because it is more times of best thing to do than otherwise; it is expedient. When Negroes give away money do so protestingly. They register an objection and then abide by the dictates of might. We feel to accept the proposition that might is temporarily right, because best for all concerned. We are not inclined to quarrel with the professor on the suffrage question. True enough, many a Negro has not known what to do with his ballot. But he has it, as the educator says, and it should be a thing of reward. It should not have strings to it or retracting as the Negro advances. Politics is not our hurt. Civil disregard is the most of it. This impedes in the essentials to the progress that counts most. We are not sufficient appreciable parts of our communities. We are boycotted in a way and that most effectually. Politics has made much noise but really the Negro mass cares nothing about it. Taking Professor Serroggs' views as a whole and the comment of the News they are happy conclusions in view of what we all know. We say again, that it is an excellent sign when prominent white persons and newspapers conclude to stand out in the clear for what is the very best under the circumstances. GEORGE L. KNOX.

Special to The Freeman: THE LADY OF THE BATH Nell Hall—Ropa—The Handsomest Firmed Woman in the World, with "The Cabaret Girl", at Majestic theatre week of March 9. At the Majestic Theatre, Indianapolis OLLIE DEMPESY MAKES FLY- ING TRIP TO HOOSIER CAPITAL Says Weather Plays Havoc with Business. But Predicts Busy Summer Season. Mr. Olle Dempsey, the well known proprietor of the famous Pink Theater, at Cincinnati, O., spent Tuesday, July 11, day after day, will take a ten days rest cure prior to returning home. He had hoped to see Mr. Tim Owley, the manager of the Freeman forces in general, that Mr. Owley had gone to Chicago. During his short stay here he was the guest of the owners of the successful spring and summer season for vaudeville houses. In fact, I expect to do better business before a number of the best acts to be seen in any modern playhouse. There is a performer, the theater, continued Mr. Dempsey, "and the demand for them steadily increases. Our people are becoming more and more accustomed to playhouse," regularly. The fact proves itself when you notice how they are springing up, up and down, in the playhouse, the line is being so strongly drawn in the white houses that the colored house has taken over, imitating the playhouse that is owned by a member of his own race and there he is being well entertained because being produced by women and men of the Negro stage world. I am able to go to see many more novelty acts than in the past and colored theater managers are only going to accept acts by singing the "blues" and "balling the act" will be cancelled for the act that has something better. At any moment, the audience will become more so in evidence in the near future than ever before." Mr. Demsoy might have said more before he was time for his train to West Baden.

And how well he succeeded is today attested by the fact that the Queen is now considered one of the show properties in the eastire South. Too much cannot be said of Virginia Lison. She is an indefatigable worker. She is a subject in stage. She and "Ham" are class to herself, one shines as big as the other and the lamp of one is not dimmed or the other is not.

Theatre, Columbus, O., this week. A favorite everywhere. CINCINNATI THEATRICAL NOTES. (By Sidney Carter.) The Pekin. Unpromising weather did not prevent the Pekin from giving three shows to his ability as a manager, being shappened by Stovall and Stovall, who pointed to telegrams with warning by telegram lacking placing Love & King, a brand new act in their stead which made good in their view. The act was poorly arranged. Mr. Love was funny all through the act and got the laughs as a veteran comedian than he is a wire walker, he practically stood out in his comedian out for as only an ambitious new comer can. She has shown the making of a great performer with real voice and that were pleasing. The act went good. Sammy Davls. Sammy was up to his usual standard and as funny as ever and as strong a single as is in the business. Some of them were the first to hear after another, proving that he still holds the get 'e' power. Closing with "The Straight Road was the best road after all" which forced him to sing "I'll be with you" singing with a dance." Some classy single. Brown and Brown. This act followed Davis with a talking 'skit' that was good. Singing and talking were the most important of this act shows. The Browns far ahead of the usual acts playing this show have a special credit. The bill at this house is gradually increasing in strength. The prosecution, however, let for indianapolis on a business trip after the last show last night. The Lincoln Theater. Turo Costillo. This single followed. Mr. Costillo is a character-man of ability, cleverly mixes up his skills and opens wench, she does a suffragette monologue, then comes back in his Spanish character and here he 'extends' much. They will all stand Castillo's pleasing face. The Stock. Came with its laughable sketch which kept the audience roaring from start to finish, the situations were simple and only the one which only this bunch of talent could be expected to do. This act was used to open the stock run on account of O'Liss's performance from behind after doing seven shows Sunday. Arriving here for rehearsal at 9 o'clock, the girls were tired but the boys were excited. Trixie Butler and Clifford Ross are becoming favorites here. Kinky Dou and Eloise Johnson having visited this show, the expecting good work to be the motto of the stock as Mr. T. Hobby Gales, house stage manager, has promised to produce an interesting play by Punjabley who played at the Pokin treatre, Montgomery, Ala. arrived in time to be installed as professor at Lincoln Monterey High School and pleased all the entire show at both houses, are good, attendance great.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. Tango Rages at the Grand—Tabor & Green a Singing Hit. Tango Turns People Away at the New Monogram. String Beans (Butter Mayer) whom the management, press and authorities are turned and impacted some of his adaptability for promiscuous jollity of certain quality. Jessica Day was played by Bess Waltke in songs. Berry and Washington were a very good legitimate team which won the competition, become popular, and Burke and Burke were white team. The initiative of the tango contest had Walker and Garry and Jones and Simmons were the winners. Harry C. Jenkins managed the contest which will be played by Walker and Garry the best that the colored and white dancers be kept separated, as they differed in schooling, the colored dancers show more of graceful emotion. Four Good Acts at the Monogram. Hamilton and Meyers were quite a good team of actors but their dialogue was new and exciting. Crampton and Bayle worked very variety than any act on the bill, than any Crampton in a male role was a good actress, than any work was funny throughout. Ray Bailey returned. Her act has imitated the best of good. Johnson and Bayler were by no means least on the bill. Johnson's animate voice is a hit and Baylor's saucy swell. Stage Notes and Stroll News. The Chateau, 346 E. 35th street, is nicely niced. Mossrs. Cook and Miller are the entertainers. Johnny Woods, the ventilologist, just finished an engagement at Hartford, Conn., where he was headlined. Phillip Giles, who arrived in town last week informs us that his old partner, John B. Miller, died about one year ago at the home of his mother at Providence, R. I. Ice Randolph, the pianist of Newark, N. J., is also reported to have died at Derrelt, Mich., six months ago. Richard Farmer, formerly of the Elwood, and E. T. Rogers, are now located at the Panama, 35th and State. He changed management and more will be heard of its new crew later on. Carita Day has returned from the Butterfield time on a tour through Michigan. There has been a great demand for her appearance at the Grand premiere, an interview, she was non-committal. Low LLaMar has arrived into the city from the Walter Keith T. B. C. time from the Pantages circuit to the open at Minneapolis March 22d. Sam H. M. Davis and the critic entertained him as guest while he partook of fried chicken at a well known cafe. Criela Howard-James, contralto singer of the famous James Sisters of the war, died March 16th to Clarence Day, 6th of Pittsburgh, Pa. The ceremony was private. Allen and Morton have dissolved partnership. I have not been able to see Mr. Morton but it is presumed that he and his wife will do a sketch to celebrate it. Allen, the comedian, joined his wife with Warren Marshall formerly with Alda Overman Walker's Happy Girls. The entertainers at Sherman Blackwell's El Centro cafe at Odd Fellows' hall are Hazel Elliott, contralto and Calvin Thous Young (Santol) pianist. Princess Solanka made a big impression at the New Monogram in her mind, and she was delighted with which stands alone in the theatrical world. She recently played two roles in the monogram of her death, in which she charms a snake of enormous size is wonderful and her eyes shine with light, lights, glitter in dazzling slender and bright colors, a sure box office attraction anywhere. --- Miss Emma Griffin, of the famous Griffin sisters, arrived in the city last Sabbath evening from Cleveland, Ohio. She moulded in the height of fashion. I was present incidentally when she called on Manager Martin Klein unexcitedly to mould her her Monogram. She was not in a cheerful mood but looked pretty in pink pouts and angry blushes. She was waved to notices which I had given out of her recent invasion into public life as a booking agent. Then she sailed into her course, waving her her name used her name in print. She also asserted that he owes her ten dollars and during her course, she tempered by law. I sighed to myself that the ways of a charming female transgressor him out to the sidewalk, to which he nervously declined. After overtures of peace had been conciliated, the actress left the theatre, accompanied Wendy in whose studio Miss Griffin occupies desk room as an office. With all respect due to her social, I am not so sure that her course of denouncing what people say or writers write of her public career will be putting with individuals or writing letters is regarded as irrational. In Love's Garden. There in love's garden are hidden flowers. That have not budded, that can not shine. Until the shruble of ethereal showers Has watered the root of their tender vine.

NEW YORK NEWS—M. T. B. A. NOTES. Ed. Hunter and his peerless stock company, headed by Peat and Hayes, closed at the Crescent Theater on Sunday last. Wesley Norris, the grand old man of Sheftall's & Black Dots, dropped in to the aggregation has met with unbounded success in the east, and are again booked for three more weeks.

Goodman, the Musical Marvel, dropped in town last week and looks the picture of health. Lillard & Lillard are at the Grand in Brooklyn the first half with the Whitneys to follow. That 'Night School in Darktown' action movie is in Lillard's week should get out of the old rut and brush up a bit, while the music is good, and following such real school acts like Harrison Stewart's must surely come of the thrill. Will Bobby Kemp give us some information about the Lincoln Kill Club, as all the boys are waiting on the anxious mercy seat. Bernard & Brennan, and Irene Morgan are playing the Lincoln the first half of the week, also Jones & Lewis are at the Lafayette booked by the Michaels Theatrical Booking Agency.

WILLIAMS' FAMOUS TROUBADOUR AND SILAS GREEN CO. (By Marvelous "La Voln.") We've been sending a northward after a completeending of the southern states. The company is better this year this ever, always adding new features. We've also added a new fall to make an audience realize that they are entertainers of the highest type, and the company has long laughed and joked. Marvelous La Voln can always be depended upon to open the show when he mounts the wire, as alert and lasting is the applause when they laughed. Although not a gold band, is the feature of the street demonstrations, and long and lasting is the applause when they laughed. Although not a gold band, is the feature of the "Memphis Blues." A bystander remarked: "Dey plays dem Blues," and the marvelous La Voln, world's greatest slack wrist artist, is without doubt the most sensational wire walker now before the show. He is the champion of them all, barring none. La Voln is the mid-air wonder, the man that defies the laws of gravitation. He is the man who has been championed by Leon David, D. Smith, Tom Delaney, Watts Bros. Slim Jim from Georgia and the rest and in all and out of the profession. The famous Gains Brothers, comedy ac obatts, do a neat straight comedy act with plenty of good stuff, wardrobe and makeup. We recognize ability and contortionists.

Queen Dora, a favorite in Mobile, has won the hearts of the people and they seem to think that there never was a dance when she burns up in the flames when Dora played at the Pike three weeks and the last half of the third week; by the time she put the fire dance on again, it seems people never get tired of looking at it. Queen Dora was such a drawing card, she was a beautiful woman. The Gayetey telephoned to the manager the Pike, asking him if there was any way in which he could engage Queen Dora in a talk between the managers about salary. Queen Dora was engaged for two years, and she spoke very little to who speaks very little of the English language is Queen Dora's electrician, and who speaks for her the lights the effect never fails to make her a shining star in the beautifully colored lights, running her heart and making her the Queen bought some pretty slides and a silk serpentine gown which is beautiful.

Our national game is bidding fair to become the leading game of the world, and the sport promoter of Australia is in the country. He is thought to be looking after boxers with the view of staging a major tournament. But the wise ones are saying that he has baseball in mind, Americas enduring game. Says a sport wizard.

We has been played in Australia for a number of years, but 'hever on a large scale. When the Sox and Glants visit the United States and Australia and Australia is always looking for America for ideas, the enthusiasm in baseball increased 1,000 per cent, over the past five years. I believe they will patronize the sport just as well as Americans." Boxing is Ms. Kowalski's particular passion, and he controls five stadiums in Australia, and has a monopoly on the game. He stages a contest in each of his arenas every year, and thirty boxers, American, English and home talent, under contract at the present time. He demands for baseball began to assert itself, he said, "the people began to look to me as the one to win. I have boxing. Australians are funny people in some respects. They will not stand for an athlete in any sports, but a gentleman both on and off the field." Besides visiting the different baseball parks on his visit to this county, he has been an effort to get in touch with every boxer of note in the United States. It is very plain that our game is invading the world, and more than that it will flourish. To me it appears that baseball is the most acceptable of all games, but downright obtuseness, intense play and games would prevent its adoption wherever it may be seen. Other games may have to be seen, games opportunity for science, but with baseball there is not the least chance of success for the successful commanding of every position, not to speak of the pitches and the catcher, who must have a lot ofisters. In these days there's but small opportunity for the success of chance work in baseball. Everything moves in the pitch, like pitching the ball method, at least, in the effort. Building up and tearing down scientific game, just as the great cheater players do with their chess players. The spectators are interested because they know the intent and the effort to checkmate it. In baseball, the cheater knows the game so well that they could fairly dictate every effort, that is, from their viewpoint. Most of the cheater players have five points in mind. They like to see the game as a thing of action. They like to see the man and ball speeding from base to base, cutting off men right and left. They just at the proper moment. What's more fascinating?

A few years ago considerable agitation was stirred up in American League circles by the claim that many players were alleging illegal strongest contention was made by the Athletics, the Detroit club being the team accused of constantly violating the rules pertaining to this feature of the game, and that the reected against the great Tyrus Raymond Cobb, who had the faculty of trimming the Mackmen with a base hit when a base hit was the most desired in the world from a Tiger stand-point. If the umpires were to adhere to the rule that relates to the position of the bat, they would have to prove that much of the interest in the game would be removed. Perhaps half the time the batter is hit, the umpire would have to part of his foot outside the batters' box. Usually, it is not a matter of more than 5 or inches. Usually, this is not a matter of the batman to gain any unfair advantage; the force of his swing simply depends on the distance outside the lines of his position. If he umpires were to adhere to the strict interpretation of the rule, over the course of the game, doubles, triples and home runs would be declared out almost before they got away from the plate. It is not a matter of the umpire to enter an easier or the curse or spit ball if the batter stands well up in the batters' box, then giving him a chance to strike before it takes the deceptive break. Answer to Yesterday's Problem. SOX BEST GIANTS IN WORLD TOUR SERIES Comiskey's Team Wins Twenty-four of 114 games—wined— Clubs, Clean, MA 87,000 Announcement was made a few days before the event, almost $15,000 above the expenses. By Hoween "My word is snowy," Baker, the Australian boxing impresario, in an interview yesterday afternoon, "but the finest lot of good fellows and the best drinkers in the world, Drink, drink a bloomin' tank, tank then, ask to do it all over again." Baker entertained the Sox and Grizzlies in the around-the-world tourists played in Australia. Baker is a blonde-topped, clean-cut athlete, as his quintet plays in bluff that generally goes with an athletic promoter who has such large interests as his quintet sports team, about Baker to denote the sport, and there is an utter absence of flashy jewelry or any mark of the four-fusher in "his Baker is here more on a pleasure trip than on business, but while in New York he is also visiting the American boxers who may have a desire some time to make the trip to Kangaroo Island. He is also boxing stadiums throughout Australia and New Zealand, where he is located two in Melbourne and two in Adelaide. Saturday night is boxing night in the Antipodes, and each stadium in the different cities bills a fee for the present time Baker has under contract thirty American and European fighters. If a boxer is beaten in one state he is given a manager in the other place, where he is given another chance. Considering that a fighter has five chances at the different stadiums unavailable, he is making good in at least two of them, which gives the boxer sufficient prestige to be given the boxing fans at his feet in Australia and that the Oshkosh fighter, manner of deportment, comes from his way to the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER hearts of the best people on the little continent.

We have the referee with his other hand he is ordered to stop and step back. There is no hilt, and the referee always protects the boxer when he is obeying his orders. "I have no intention of signing any American boxer on my present heir in the nature of a vacation.

The Human Crab Has Most Remarkable record in the History of Science There is only one "gray-eyed man of destiny in baseball," and his name is Joe DiMaggio. He played in cagoe, Ill., and Boston, Mass. Others in the porous pastime have backed up his claim that he never taken the tall jumps that Trojan Johnny has taken since he landed with him. DiMaggio has a lad of nineteen summers and probably as many winters, falls and dives. --- Considerable career. Ever since his mid-19th year landed with the Cubs in 1903, being underweight and underized and highly nervous, he was given only about a third of his last. But he stuck with the premiers for eight years as one of the game's wonders until the first big crash came in 1911. He was a star in theings of his baseball career, invested in a shoe emporium, were wiped away. In that same season he had the tough time with the Indians, autoting and one of his friends was killed. And a week or so later while sliding to second his leg was broken in a car accident, he endangered hors de battlefield for a year. The Smash. This combination was quite enough soul trained in stole ways. It would have jarred more than a great from kikei for what. What Evers was more than enough. It put him on the blink and no one figured he ever had a chance to come back. He was the general verdict in 1911, when his batting and fielding went to seed and when he was able to play only a week in the league, he required a physician's aid. And this tip looked to have about the same chance for a come-back that Hector the other day had. It was mopping up around the walls of Troy. 1912. Then came the wonderful upheaval of 1912. Evers not only came back, but for the first time in his life batted the greatest all-around season he had ever known, and a few weeks later was appointed manager of the Cubs at a salary of $10,000 per year for five years. Once more the dope was hurled against him, for as much he was digged against it, also, further thither, as a certain failure, with no chance to finish in the first division We are not touting Johnny here as a great player, but he was not. But this team led the race for quite a spell, and finally finished a good third. Which furnished an answer to the passive pitch. Fate took the passive pitch. It took the same futile result Deposed as manager, where the average mortal would have been up higher heights. The next day he was offered a big advance in salary from the Federal League, and his own son's higher heights. The next day he was up by abdicating all managerial worries by drawing a softer job, and at the same time maintaining his $10,000 bonus under the proposition. And today the nervous wreck and the has-been of 1910 is not only back on both feet as a ball player, but with all financial worries overthrown and $400,000 coming for his next four years' work—$20,000 of it already in the bank. No Bone High Un When Evers cracked in 1911 he only worked in forty four games and batted but .226. He was down to skin-covered bone, but sald bone was not around his head. Today he looks better than he did in the war. He is a riffle heavier, and all worry lifted from his mind. He has taken lifed care of himself and looks forward to one of his finest years on the field. * * * * It may be that later on Fate will take care of his daughter, but for the time being we have an idea that Fate is pretty well worn out trying to crowd this fellow to the wall. He was not put there entirely for adornment. The game has never seen a harder fighter—or one who stuck and any lonely girl on. GRANTLAND RICE. FAT FATAL TO FIGHTERS Putting on Too Much Weight Has Been the Downfall of Many Champions of the Ring—Remarkable How Heavy Retired Ringmen Become. It was chiefly too much fat that lost John L. Sullivan the world's heavyweight, douserous, cumbersome and obese when he met his Waterloo at New Orleans, more interested his great title to his more burgeoning an active opponent. Jim Corbett. In his best fighting days, Sullivan on one hand and that was about his weight when he won the big crown from Paddy Ryan. That was about his athlete. Then a perfect athlete. An idealistic gladiator, with hardly an ounce of superfluous flesh on his phenomenal body, and very kind indeed to John L., and gifted him with a marvelous constitution. The Beginning of the End of Sullivan. When Sullivan came into opulence he began to live a life soon fell into flesh. This was the beginning of his end as a champion. Fat is absolutely fatal to an athlete and especially so to a fighter, but it is also necessary and takes away that dash and ginger that is so essential in the ring. The fan who saw Sullivan win the style, could hardly imagine he was the same battler who lost the prize to Corbett. Obesity, fast life and dissatisfaction left him an easy victim to the clever, youthful, speedy Californian. The Same Story with Other Athletes. The same story told of Sullivan's high life has been told of other great fighters and athletes. When they begin to run into flesh, they soon lose their form. I might cite many cases of this, but the most famous was Wilbur Robertson of the Brooklyn team, Tom Daly, another old Brooklyn player, and Ed. McKeaan, former shortstop of the Cleveland. They all run. Unless athletes keep themselves in strict training they generally become victims of fat. Of course it's quite common, but not especially as they pass the age of thirty. But I've noticed athletes particularly take on poundage when they retire or let up on their train- Jim Jeffries Also a Victim of Fat. When Jim Jeffries was matched to meet Jack Johnson he was as big as a house, and as fat as a prince porter, and as strong as a horse. Any kind of form, after living some five years in ease and luxury. His strength almost the same as that of John Fulton. He grew ponderous and slow and was no match for the speedy negro, who by his festive life during the past three and a half years. He is not the same Jack Johnson who defeated Jeff on July 4, 1910, and never will be. Physicians Cannot Solve It. Take Proper Exercise. The principal reason why so many people are handicapped with so much pain is that they do not take regular and proper exercise. Every man, woman and child should go through a certain amount of simple exercise to keep them healthy in order to be strong, healthy and wise. The brain depends upon the body as much as the body depends upon the mind. The mind is neglected and unhealthy the mea-ness powers will also be congested and dull nothing in my humble opinion will be affected at the same time, as light active boxing. It makes you think and act fast and bring almost every muscle to play. Remember, when I say light boxing, I do not mean slugging or fighting. The person who boxes daily until his body is a full glow of a slight purple hue, and the person down will find this exercise better than all the drugs and doctors in the world. It will keep the superfluous and make you more active and healthy. Another Reason for Obesity. Over-eating has also something to do with putting on weight. I think most people generally consume too much food. Jerry Carroll was always a great feeder. I like to eat about four pounds of steak, with about 60 vegetables and extra trimming on the bottom. I wonder today he weighs about 300 pounds. He is simply an enormous, huseful friend and former business partner, Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, who at one time fought at 120 pounds. Jack McCarthy, a former friend and former business partner, some English sports writer, as "looking like an over-fed Alderman from his pictures, has also grown heavy. Jerry Carroll, are all extra good feeders and live on the fat of the land, as it were." Young Corbett and Terry McGovern. To see Young Corbett and Terry McGovern on the Great White Way, in New York or even dream, that did not know them, that they held the featherweight and as fat two brewers and a senior as John Bunny, the moving picture star. The latter, by the way, under some moons he soaked his cheerful gayness smile began to fade away with his flesh, and he soon threw up the spines. It was too much fat that put Young Corbett out of the fighting game. He worked hard and earnestly to get the right amount of money, but it was no use. He couldnt possibly make it and was obliged to retire from the ring. He now weighs pounds, while McGovern is still heavier. Other Retired Fighters Overweight. Jack Fogarty, who fought Jack Dempsey 27 rounds in 1886, in New York, and 27 pounds. Billy Myers, who fought Jack McAuliffe twice, is over 225. Joe Lannon, of Boston, is fit for a fat man, and he weighs about 250 stripped. Joe Pendergast must be at least 235 pounds. Pat Farrell, who is chief of the detectives in Pittsburgh, is as big as a house. I remember when I fought in the 110 pound class as an amateur, and in the 120 pound class as a stomach and, now I'm about a two hundred pound. I lead an active life with considerable exercise, but, like a dog, I don't run into flesh. Yes, fat is indeed a handicap to fighting men, and many a good battler it has put out of the EX-COLLEGE STARS TO PLAY THE REDS FIVE.
