Colbert You are a leaf from a rare old book You are now, are very few, You have many unloved pieces You have not lived obscured. The hairs of they hoary head I could as thoughts of our struggling race I tune my lute and sing to thee I tune my lute and sing to thee "A father that has kept his place." 'Tis not the humble or the great But to thee I sing I caught the spark of thy far spent seven, And sees the as a king. Thou hast spent a noble life thus far May God continue grace. You must know what life is worth You dower of the race. I tuned my hate and sing of thee Your life has told me much to me That I dread no more the dark. You have truly inspired my heart to sing. This little praise endowed by God, I hold you as an inspiration to our race. For you are a light to these that trod. One can readily see that the personality and activities of Mr. Knox have inspired the young man to picture verses. A lesson is in this. It is that you are a warrior in the servers. There's a "chile" among you taking notes well illustrates the young man who is deeply sensitive to passing things—the passing show, as it you would reflect, throw back all he sees, in part, is the mission of the poet. Robert prefers the dialect as his young man, as well predisposed in that he does.

SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Winter quotation—amazingly steady this week. The big colored people of Washington, D. C., are at it again hammer and tongs fashion. President Wilson has made his free toll argument, and a brilliant bit of business it was. The case is now in the hands of the "jury." The impression is general that the verdict will be in favor of his "client." The initials of Ralph W. Tyler and Richardson W. Thompson are identical. The fact is worrying when R. W. T. is signed to newspaper articles that the other R. W. T. didn't write and wouldn't write. Another case of the two Dromios. Getting more like the white folks every day. A Negro youth at Joliet, Illinois, was arrested a few days ago for attempting to pass a check on a saloon. He was arrested. In the investigation it turned out that the young man, in company with another, had stolen a mail sack which contained $10,000 in uncanceled checks. Verily they had an elephant on their hands. The point is, however, that they were dealing in big money. During the debate in the Senate at Washington last week on the proposed equal suffrage amendment Senator Vardaman said that he would support the amendment provided he got support in turn for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment and part of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. So he would barter away our liberty at any price. The votes of the women doubtless would be a good profitable exchange, but why not keep all of our citizens? Secretary Daniels of the Navy Department, left the duties of his office one day last week to attend the funeral services of William Wilkes, colored. Wilkes had attended the door of the department for thirty-seven years. This tribute of respect is in line with that shown by the Supreme Court members who attended the general, not only soce, and aged 60. The court room some sympathy still in the world by the great for the poor and humble. To correct a false impression and in the interest of all parties concerned, R. W. Thompson, our staff correspondent, desires it to be stated that he is not the author of a scurrilous screen in last week's issue of The Washington Bee, under the caption of "A Picture of Youth," signed by one "R. W. Tr." The writer is said to bear a same, as the author of the same as those of Mr. Thompson. Hence the confusion. The individual attacked is a prominent educator, for whom it is known Mr. Thompson, in common with every right-minded colored man in America, entertained the highest respect and confidence. We are asked an opinion regarding the call for a Negro Congress at Washington, D. C., in May. The circular has reached this office, but so far we have not given publicity to it because of the significance of such a move. We have not sufficient data to warrant endorsement by way of favorable editorial comment. We will be pleased to learn more of the prime mover, a Mr. Hayes, attorney of Washington, D. C., and also of others interested. Such movements are general more or less political. This does not mean that they have always been pernicious. But at this stage of our political and civil career we will do well to get our soundings and bearings faithfully before we attempt to do much sailing. Further information will be appreciated in view of the inquiries being made of us. In the current issue of the Outlook Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has an article of considerable length which has to do with the Negroes as he finds them in the Republics of South America. In spite of his short time for observation he gives what appears to be a good account of the Negroes in relation to the white race and also their relation to the government. He makes prominent the theory of Negro absorption, holding that it is the opinion of those who give the subject thought that the Negro race of those countries is gradually being "swallowed up" by the white race. This, of course, is by amalgamation, a term that the Colonel does not seem to care to use. He, however, does not hesitate in saying that the trend of the thing, absorption, is on. He cites the product of a Negro pair in the third generation as being totally white, due, of course, to amalgamation. Mr. Roosevelt says that merit is considered rather than the individual's color. He found Negroes in high places, professors, doctors, officials because they were capable of filling them. The article is informing, and manifestly a fair treatment of the situation. It is a matter for race congratulation to know that the railroad companies that have separate coaches for colored people will be forced to comply fully with the law pertaining to such coaches. In the past the companies have cheerfully complied with the provision that separate coaches be maintained, but have paid little, or no attention to that which said that these separate coaches must have equal facilities. Elsewhere in this issue will be seen that indictments have been returned against three railroads for falling in carrying out the law in the particular. The colored people of the country have sub-divided their separate coaches wrong as it is, and because they themselves, could see something of a necessity. This is in view of the everlasting race question. There was no reason, however, for the neglect of the coaches in which they were to ride. The thing of facilities was a small matter to the company; it meant very much to the colored people. Beides, the law was plain, and the railroad company has no more right to override it than the humblest citizen. The news of the change is very, very welcome. We are not interested in seeing the railroad companies in a matter. We want what is due us in the matter. ARRAIGNING THE ADMINISTRATION. We cannot see the good of trying to arraign the present administration for what may be considered its shortcomings as it concerns the Negroes. We have in mind politics, the appointing of men to office and so forth. Much cannot be expected, in a political way, of the Democratic party because the Negroes did not do very much to establish the administration. It is being lamented by some of the Negro leaders of pronounced political learning that the administration is not making good in appointing Negroes to office; it is the burden of their lay. Office is a very seductive something, political office. Perhaps nothing similarly appeals to men inclined toward public life. Everything else being equal we should equally contend for a distribution of officers among us. But everything else is not equal. Nor should we so pretend even when fighting for what we feel to be due us. Under the circumstances we will win big if we can keep the administration from "laying" on us. True enough, a government is not expected to show partiality. But why put forth such plattitudinal propositions when a condition confronts us rather than a theory? We hope, even under a Democratic administration, to see recognition of our race by appointment to office, but we are not disturbed because few are selected rather than many. The selection of one keeps live the principle we are contending for. The appointment of a score would have no special interest for the race if the government were otherwise oppressive. The ten millions are to be considered rather than the ten officials. We feel to congratulate the administration in that it has so far shown inclination to see us as citizens of the country. With the bare exception of the segregation business at Washington, we have no reason to believe so. Far no measures of general oppression have reached the light in spite of Vardaman et al. That measures of the kind have been suggested or introduced means nothing much. There are a few individuals bent on undoing the race. But what do they amount to if they are not endorsed by the party? We insist that, so far, we are doing nicely under Mr. Wilson's administration. He is of such a calibre that small bored men will not have the nerve to assault him with vicious governing principles. This is our esti-mate's duty, and we win them before and since his incubancy of the White House. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL FUND COMMISSION. The Lincoln Memorial Fund Commission of Rhode Island sends out the following notice: An opportunity was offered to the school children of the state to contribute to the Lincoln Memorial Fund bequeathary 12th, and the contributions of the several schools are being received slowly by Treasurer Walter Baker; need, in cash, for $450 in cash from this source is now in the treasury, and only a few classes are as yet represented. an opportunity to offer ten cents to substantial amount is looked for when the returns are all in. In addition to the above, substantial amounts have been received from several schools to offer ten cents to the Century Club of Providence, the Soldiers and Sailors Historical Society, the Rhode Island Sons of Veterans, One or two individual subscriptions only have as yet been received, but many more are looked for as the fund Owing to the fact that the Colored people interested in the erection of a memorial monument to their benefactor, Abraham Lincoln, the executive committee has appointed a committee of members of a committee to solicit subscriptions from the Colored race: Attorney at Law, chairman; Rev. W. Harrison, of Providence, (pastor of Pont, St. Free Baptist Church of Paupertuck, editor R. L. Examiner); Dr. William H. Mathews, of Newport, (active member of various offices) of the Asst. doorkeeper House of Representatives, General Assembly). We are pleased to have the opportunity of reproducing the letter of the commission for more than one reason. In the first place, it is a further recognition of Abraham Lincoln whose history is inseparably bound up with our own. Then again, the commission has made special appeal to the efforts of the Mr. Lincoln sustained to it. Finally, the method of the commission is applicable to the efforts of the commission, having in charge of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Fund. DALLAS, TEXAS.

Monday night, when the John Street place of the Lincoln Center has neue doors a goodly crowd filled past the ticket seller, anxious to get comedy followed later and tasked the little lady ushers to get them seated quickly. The Irwin Pugglegay and Mr. Brown, the two movie movies took care of the crowd until the show opened. Johnson & Brown took care of the double, and were well received. Miss Cooper came back single and went as good as could be expected. She was Miss Hula Hula Dance," a song that is well liked here. She can do this song.

"The Sixth Commandment" was the offering presented by Joe Bright's Assistant, the last half of last week, and was the classiest hit that has been present—a stock company at the present for some time. It made its impression, and met with rounds and rounds of applause at every performance. Cheer up. In a few days the entire duel with the spies will be back in the city telling how much they would have saved if— Wanted, a few more men of brains and tact. Men that can't be bought for a "pat" on the back, or a cigar, or a knife, will again become a reality.

Miss Ella Jones "Castle on the Nile" for the small time actors, as she always has the latch-string on the outside of the door. The Fifty-ninth Street Theater still continues to run first class photo plays but no vaudeville. Reason: Cheapness of the management. Located in a good theater, too. Wanted: a colored theater, owned, operated and controlled by Negreens in New York City. Then, if we had one, would the Negreos support it? That's the question. What's the answer?

Smart Set Company Plays "The Wrong Mr. President" Amusingly. "The Wrong Mr. President" was the Smart Set Company's bill last night and the two-act comedy went roaringly. The house was pretty well filled and the colors set the real appeal. players of the set reel applauded best colored chorus that ever sang at the Academy accompanies the Smart Set Company, and its members were unfortunate. The cast is made up of thirty or more men and women, with two ex-tenors, soprano and tenor, who may be more voices that had no opportunity to star. The comedians hiney, besides being a clever comedian they, were in the chorus and impersonated "The Wrong Mr. President" well, song hits, which were not drawn out to everlasting length by needless encores, ragtime features, tangering, turkey trotters, and the song hits, the mying were phases of modern dancing that must have satisfied the most of the audience's voices of note in the duets were those of Blanche Thompson and Russell Smith, soprano and tenor, who sanganced the tango with great exterity. The performance was attended by a few white people who rated it above average. The performance deverness of Negro impersonation by Negro artists and in cleanness of act. It was entirely free from the taint of coarseness—Durham (N. C.) News and SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. (By Salem Tutt Whitney, of the Smart Set Company.) PLAYING STOCK. Managers of colored theaters, especially in the South, experience much entertainment for their patrons and are entirely too much sameness in the vaudeville acts. Not enough novelty and entertainment. The Troubadour opens with a song, followed by dialogue, too often dull and uninteresting, opens with a song, followed by dialogue, too often dull and uninteresting, opens with a song, followed by dialogue, then there is another dumbly uninteresting dance, some more dialogue or jokes and closes with a song or dance. This vaudeville act is appreciated if the songs were new or original, the jokes fresh, the dances unique and novel. Vaudeville artists who make an honest effort at originality, but no sooner does some intelligent performer produce something more original, then the performer steals the act and hurries to new audiences and exploits the plagiarism as the product of his own brain. Managers of colored theaters acts, managers of affordable acts, too little protection and make it altogether too easy for medlocore acts and talentless performers. All a disgruntled chambermaid, scrub-bath, girl-dish-washer, cooker, waiter or porter need do is learn three songs, not two, and the jacket "and" the get-over-air ("wardrobe is not an indispensable requisite, for it can make a respectable appearance," about $1.50 is required for letter-heads, which to write to some person, and which to send to the low salary and the girl or man of "allwork" is ready to leave their low salary and launch upon a vaudeville career. The rapid increase in colored play-houses and the demand for talented performers who can stay at one house and the producer and the Stock Company. When one set of performers meet the house and increase the audience, the eager of that house wishes to retain the drawing card and the performers are encouraged to stay so long as they can their program and please the patrons. At present there are several stock companies that offer for an indefinite time and give satisfaction. They present dramas, comedies, farce-comedies and musical comedies, written and staged by a producer with the company or be chosen from some standard or stock plays that are for The Pekin Stock company of Chicago, the greatest of all colored stock companies. It included in its personnel some of the most noted actors, actresses, musicians, musicians and dancers of the race. At present there are several good stock companies in the South, where there is a large Negro population and the colored stock companies into competition with the white houses. Probably the first of these was the company of the Black Stock Company. This company split, leaving Bob Russell and Billy Owens at the head of one company and Marion Brooks another. Marion Brooks is now managing the new Lincoln theater in Chicago with the Brown Sisters. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Madame LeRue, J. Shaffer, J. Wiggs, Lillian Brown and Gerald Hamilton in the cast, are very popular. They played 35 successful weeks at the highest kind of a recommendation for Bob and Billy. Billy King entered the field of stock management and the Coca-Cola Theater Atlanta, Ga. Billy's company has reached a high degree of efficiency and is in continual demand. The company is able to stay at one location indefinitely. Lew Kenner's stock company is also a strong drawing card. Mr. Kenner plays the manager. He possesses a magnetic personality which contributes greatly to the company's success. Associated with Mr. Kenner we Henkens & Lee, Annie St. Clair, Raising Mason, Kendall & Thomas and Milly Williams. This company played 27 weeks at Frank Proud's theater, Jacksonville.

A "stock" experience, under a good producer and director, is invaluable. He is self-reliant. It cultivates the memory, increases and perfectes one's talents and fits one to enter successfully almost any department of the theatrical ensembles.

Nicholas and Logan WANTS NEWS OF THE COLORED BASEBALL CLUBS. Norfolk, Va. Mar. 4, 1914. Dear Slippery, I am writing for information about colored baseball. Here recently we have heard of a colored baseball league which has been organized for the coming season. We are waiting for the outcome, whatsoever it may be, and we like to be put in the limelight. I am a member of the colored baseball players, and last week about the white baseball players, but don't publish very much about the colored baseball players, so colored baseball world, and what they are doing. The Y. M. C. A. is very interested in colored baseball, and the theory a baseball sheet for the benefit of them, and the Freeman readers of Norfolk. Va. Please answer through this email. We never see anything or hear anything about the colored baseball world, and anything they are doing, showing that we never see anything or hear anything it would be for the Freeman in Norfolk. Please take this letter under consideration, and the baseball sheet matter be written to the paper a great deal in the State of Virginia, and show additional progress also. I remain, yours truly, a member of the Y. M. C. A. Norfolk, We will gladly publish baseball information on colored clubs. In race we will sell colored clubs. But our people act too much on the spur of the moment. They do not care to help them. They don't have much to give out ahead of time. The white clubs begin plotting to take over the season closes for the next season. Of course, there is not the same season as the previous one. We need money considerations and so forth. However, they can do much more than planning and planning than they do. They can up more interest by "cultivating" the team. We are appreciated.

It is thought that in the reorganization of the club he will be one of the chief attractions. The following questions are being asked by a certain publication, the Indianapolis team, with prizes. First Question—With less than two bat and a man on first, what should be the batter bunts down first base line? Second Question—With less than two out and a runner on third, what should be the batter singles to right defense if the batter singles to right defense? Fourth Question—With one out, runners on first and third and a slow run out, one out, one run ahead, what should be the position of the defense to prevent a run? Fifth Question—With one out, runners on first and third, what should be the position of the defense to prevent a run? 第六 Question—With less than two bat and a runner on second, what should be the position of the defense if the batter singles to right center?

"Why should Johnson fight any one who is a real contender for the championship honors?" asked Smith this week, who might down him his meal ticket is punched out and he goes into the class of Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries as far as theatrical engagements are concerned in the theatrical business in France than he could if he were in the fighting game.

JACK DILLON LICKS HEAVYWEIGHT HOPE Fans Yelp Protest—Wild Scene Follows Referee's Decision of KANSAS CITY.-Referee Portous called the Jack Dillon-Jim Flynn ten-round round of the game with a bug of Indianapolis can take it straight that Jack Dillon earned the decision and should have had it.

When the tenth round started the crowd—the greatest crowd that ever turned out for a fight in Kansas City on Saturday, the buggs yelled for Dillon until the referee raised both hands in token of a draw. Then it yelled and barked for the referee. There was much money bet on the fight, with Flynn the favorite. Flynn was aggressive all the way, the defenders used it, and the dom biffing on one range, but preferring the infiguring style. Nor did he greatly excel Dillon at this game. The Indianapolis middleweight tore the referee's hand right cross to Flynn's bean. The THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER fireman went down for nine.

The team arrived at Yokohama on the fourth of June 4 days late, after a rough voyage. From Japan the itinerary included visits to the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, continental Europe and England. In the foreign part of the tour the largest attendance was recorded in Japan, Australia and England. The biggest gate receipts were collected at the airport, on January 26, when thirty thousand spectators, including King George, wished White Sox in a sensational eleven-imming game. This game officially closed on February 18, with sailings from Liverpool on February 19. More than seventy games were played during the trip and the list would have been large but for rain the players would have been limited to China and Japan. Notwithstanding these setbacks the financial returns were far in excess of expectations and the revenue largely $100,000. Manager McGraw, of the New York Nationals, and Charles Comiskey, president of the Chicago Cubs, led the expedition ceased to worry and the success of the tour several months ago. A generous dividend is assured not only for the promoters, but for players who were upon the trip on a sharing basis. Tentative plans have already been made for foreign tours during the summer.

M. Hal Beacham, in a letter to this office states: "We heard that Harrison was going to fight a foul. If he did say so, nothing could be farther from the truth as he was whipped or quit, one or the other and he admitted he lost fair here. I am negotiating with One Round Bess and young George Dixon in hopes of having them appear before the club." The referee said to my boy, Billy McClure, one week later. DULUTH, MINN.
