C, have had their annual school row. ‘It seems pretty well settled at this time, and with Roscoe Conkling Bruce still at the head of affairs. Why not make a memorial of the Frederick Douglass home, as ts. pro- posed? We have a Douglass day when the memory of the great man is honored. We ate conducting a sub- scription fund to the end that his home be preserved in honor of his great service to the race and country. Kindly contribute to it. See it men- tioned elsewhere in this issue. Mr. Wilson won a splendid victory when the House of Representatives sustained him in his side of the toll exemption controversy. In fact, the opposition has never had any argu- ment beyond that of might to do be cause we had the power to do. Beyond the great thing of the conservation of national honor {s that other victory— the elimination of the’ subsidizing idea, meaning virtwally the support of a few at the expense of many. Mr. Champ Clark injected just a tiny bit of venom in his speech, to wit: “I do not believe that the fact that I led on twenty-nine ballots at Baltimore, receiving a clear majority of nine, and that I get a majority of more than 200,000 over the President in the primary elections where he and I competed, precludes me from dis- charging my duty or exercising my rights as a representative in Congress ‘and as speaker to stand up for Ameri- ca against Great Britain.” An Oklahoma mob, this week, got in its work on a Negro woman. It was composed of twelve men who suc: eeeded in tricking the jailer to gain admission to the jail where the wom- an was confined. Twelve men were the semblance of the law all right, but they were not the real thing. The woman was charged with having killed @ white man by shooting him, Just 4 common, almost everyday crime, it will be noted, and yet the mob spirit had to come to the front, But hap- pily the mob is losing its hold, and in a few mpre years it promises to be a thing of the past, at, least, as a civil habit. It begins to look as if the Demo- cratic party does not mean to do all it could do to the Negroes. The at- tempt of Vardaman and Borah to read the Negroes out of the Constitution met with no response worthy of men- tion. This is as it should be. The Negroes are citizens. What it cost to put them in the Constitution, we dare say, will not be considered lightly. ‘The cost was not in vain, and we think that the good saving sense of the country will see it that way. The probable confirmation of Judge Terrell of the district court of Washington 18 more evidence that the administra- tion does not mean to enter on a cru- sade against the Negroes. Many ap- pointments are not expected under the circumstances. A few appoint- ments will keep alive the principle that the government has the best in- terest of all ef the citizens at heart. President Wilson won his contention in the Panama canal controversy in the House of Representatives by a splendid vote. That body passed the repeal measure by a majority of 86, the yote being 247 for and 161 against. ‘The victory, while ascribed to the President, is not strictly that way. ‘The foremost men of the country, Re- publicans especially, long since spoke of the exemption of our ships from the common toll, saying that. it was con- trary to the terms of the treaty bear- ing on the point. Mr. Wilson saw it as the leaders of thought saw it and to which class he belongs. These men refused to entertain the idea of pro- prietorship of the canal to the extent that would seem warranted owing to the fact it was our money that built the canal, More than that was in- volved. The acquirement of the strip and the beginning of the work were not without international considera. tion, This is real because we entered into agreements by treaty. More than fone treaty was made in order to sim- plity matters, The leaders of thought insisted that the stipulations of the treaty be carried out as it becomes high-toned governments, or individu: als, Mr, Wilson, in his capacity as President, gave the greater force to the rightful contention, and to the ex- tent that the measure that jeopardized the nation’s standing has been struck from the laws of the country by the lower branch of Congress. WHO IS GEN. VILLA? Rumor is persistent that Villa is Negro, a United States Negro. Fred. erick Inman Monsen, the explorer thinks that Gen. Panco Villa, the Mex: {ean constitutionalist leader in Mexico, is a Negro. Recently he said: I nave known Villa personally. for your "Treas my guide for, ever Bg" Binodlty "whet theta ats born dictator. i believe he has Negro born, distetor, _ % Relleve be pee Negte that he has had military training some- where: ‘The New York Sun thinks it not improbable that Villa is a Negro. ‘That publication had this to say: ‘Two soldiers of the Tenth cavalry, a crack Negro. regiment, have declared that they recognized In Vilin a fellow trooper, and the story ig not Inher: Ently linprobable, “The officers of the ‘Tenth are splendid disciplinarians and they turn ‘ut fine ‘soldiers.

Men claiming to have been with Aim in the reximent Say they have seen him recently and talked with him of thelr army experl- ences. Now, who is Villa? He is creating quite a stir all right. And it is said that our race will stir up things even when it reaches the blissful abode. WILL THE RAILROAD OFFICIALS DO WHAT THEY SAY? educator, does not think very much of the promises of the railroad officials as they concern the facilities in the coaches set aside for the Negroes. He says that the railroads will never com- ply with the law until made to do so. Mr. Dudley's observation, doubtless, leads him to such a conclusion. He may be right, yet there is no reason why we should not give the officials opportunity to make good in the in- stance. Up until the time Dr. Booker T. Washington called attention to the condition no general demand had been made for the change. The desultory “firing” of our newspapers is not al ways noted. We are likely to think so when, the fact is, that: those whom we would reach know nothing of our cause. Those busy men do not take notice of our publications. We are ziving the officials the beneftt of the doubt. We prefer to put this chari- table construction forward in view of those kindly letters received by Dr. Washington. We would not like to think that after those fine expressions, almost unanimous expression, to the end that the matter would be looked into and abuses corrected, -by the railroad of- ficials, that they have no intentions in mind to do so. ‘Then, too, we should take into account the educator of Tus: kegee, to whom the letters of the of- ficials' were addressed. He Is greatly respected by the white people gener- ally, nor do we think the railroad officials are exceptions. We have long since commented on the kindly expressions of the officials. Those who have read these letters must admit that they, as a whole, were humane, considerate’ and satisfactory in view of the racial relations. Justice in its fullest sense would mean no temporizing, no compromising: it would mean the total abolition of the separate coach business. But the very spirit that has brought about the sepa- rate coaches has caused the delay in getting what the law demands. So a general, generous response on the part of the officials is clearly a race gain, and should be thus set down, The law of compulsion as it concerns us has not been what it might be. Our civil rights laws in ‘he states’ mean nothing very much. Hotels and res: taurants and theatres by one subter- fuge or another are shutting out most effectually the would-be Negro patron- age. Public opinion precedes the law; it announces the law's necessity, and without it the law, if important, owing to its operation, will not be very ef- fective. We mean that we prefer to see the railroad men take the step of thelr own initiative. ‘As to what the offleials will do, of course remains to be seen. For our part we will not think lightly of what they have said. We do not feel to discredit them, doubting them in the very index. The compelling power is all right in a way; it should always stand an individual or a people as a thing of the last resort, yet if the compelling power was all that it should be we would not have this question to worry us. ‘True enough, we have waited long for a change for the better, but it may be that we have not gone about the thing in the right way. If all laws were obeyed our court houses would not be nearly so busy as they are. We naturally conclude that it is one thing to make laws and another thing to obey them, especially where there's no disposition to obey them. Corpo- rations do not take kindly to some Kinds of expenses. Added to this is the fact that we are a people who are citizens at a discount and there you are. It's a rather hard expression, but none truer. Everything discriminates, all first class concerns; this means discounted citizenship. Railroad com- panies feel as free to take their time and do as they please as other con- cerns. We mean that the law of com- pulsion is anything except that, as it concerns us. Knowing what we do, the letters of the officials to Dr. Booker ‘T. Wash- ington were something of a victory— yes, a victory to win our very own. ‘They promised what has not ruled. Even those Kentucky cases where three companies were worsted in court came about after the expres: sions of the railroad men, We will await the action of the officials a while before we conclude that they were merely “stalling.” We see no reason why they should not make good their word, It is not a difficult thing to fit up coaches adequately—no more so for Negroes than white persons. We will see what we will see. DALLAS, TEXAS. News for the People—Iitems of Pro- gress—Church Business and Other- wise the Lack of Understanding Hampers Our Folks—Visitors Here and There. (iy Col, J.

He first vaudeville managers to recognize the ability of the colored performer and for years has employed many colorful men to play his many roles. His death has been memoned by the entire profession. Denton's Black & Tan Comedy Company was certainly busy rehearsing last week and left Monday morning for parts unknown. Proctor certainly knew how to play anybody as far as I can see and certainly get away with it faster than anybody, in the company business, "he's in the company business," the company numbers 25 people, band and orchestra. Such men as Strozzler of Boston, Mass., should stop going around beatings colored men out of his real home, to regale off the same color men have furnished light and fuel for a gang of (I will say at this writing) men near enough to a stage to drive one way down home.

Glibin, a character actor, late of the Negro Playhouse, got into a heated argument at headcount Colored Vaudville Rescue Association, got into a heated argument at headcount Clouseau, whose house was of the same, the house was a cemetery lady residing in 130th street, upon whom it seems Mr. Williams insisted on call-club Club House, after being the driver of the stistic encounter, and turned into 130th street, beetle in the house, after being the murder rags necessarily from the lady's apartment, opened fire with a Colt's automatic, and then started the police of fixed police, and murder rags necessarily from windows and women fainted in the street and the police of fixed police, and murder rags necessarily from Gilpin until he started back to the musical headquarters, when he placed Gilpin under arrest and has left him off to the police station in a renter. When arraigned before the Registrate, Gilpin produced a permit for a scene to be enacted on the public streets for a Life motion picture concern. Now what do you think of that—felled again. ST. LOUIS THEATRICAL NOTES. (By Herbert T. Meadows.) There is plenty of talent showing at the Booker Washington Theater this week, with the account of the scarcity of that snag and ginger so essential to the success of a vaudeville performance. *Ross Jordan* was a very sweet and clever playwright and renders three numbers very effectively. Her humming specialty is particularly delightful. *Miss and Willis* have a good line of humorous talk. Miss Willis has a remarkably strong voice, good singing and clever applause. Watts does some good dancing and scores with his eccentric comedy. *Crosby and Neoma* have a good singing and merrier with their rapid-fire dialogue. *Crosby and Warfield* open with a clever dance pantomime accompanying the song "Gambling Man." Cumby shows to advantage in this, as the character song, *Warfield Man*, Watts well singing "Brown Skin." They close with a novel-buck dancing specialty that is artistic and registered a storm of applause. Mr. Turpain has installed twenty fans for the summer season, and the Booker Washington play is a cucumber during the hot nights. EASTERN THEATRICAL NEWS. (Ex. Billy E. Jones.)

EX-Champion heavyweight, Bob Popularity among his as to popularity among the bunch. Most talked of among him. John L. Sullivan, perhaps, enjoys the greatest popularity without seem to push him. When seen the spotlight through his opinions seen in the newspapers time to time. His letters and articles and judgment, are proof that he is "Gentleman" when it is always worth listen to. Jim Jeffries don't seem to about notoriety, took considerable impulse in his life although up until the ratiat he had a clean bill as the greatest of them all. He came near being Fitzsimons himself and of poetry his failure was lamentable. His legatee Burns, has not drawn as much water as the others. Fitzsimons himself is the author of the American peopler. In the first place his appearances in America and his winning fight spectacular, the theatrical. In the grand old man, his brain and art. One has only to hear him speak, to hear his beautiful colorature, his velenemance, when his smile was carefully conned and as a college athlete. I have mentioned this before. One of the publications said that he made a carefully prepared study of Cornishman and has resided there. Fitzsimons pushes his talent a little, and in this respect he is not different to all of those that have been blessed with a similar talent. I would rather hear him speak to see him "fence." His life in review, some came to see His life in review, some came to see. They cheered his maneuvers quite lustily; That he did come to a nicety. But for me, Ah! for me, That soulful speech of dexterity. Had pleasure of laying eyes on the man he hearted Fitzsimons—as I have before referred to him. This because he has strengthened, bucked off York and been declared to fight. Only this week the commission finally decided against New York. March 27—The Appellate division of the Supreme Court today affirmed the order of the lower court which is offered to book in public in New York state. Because of his advanced age the State Athletic Commission ruled that Fitzsimons should Perhaps the commission has really seen the veteran fighter a service. At any rate his cake is dough in this country. The ex-champion's hope is in his son, whose appearance on the stage signal for considerable improvement up in the bus, just as much as David was wrapped up in Absolom or Hector in Diatapax. We have no records of him or him his son has so solitary doing anything like what brought their forbears fame. The young man who is all that is for him is him, and his son has to talk calmly. He is a human droughtaught as to build all right, but he may prove too massive, ponderous, taking the ability east to the west, the ability south to the west, this must be the endowment of the spirit. The boy who is only 18 was referred to as busky in one of the stories, but he was sluggish. He certainly did not show the tiger like agility that was expected. There is plenty of him, but the distribution does not impress one This may have been because he did not care to bruise up his old man, but he was not careful, and times, but he seemed rather careful, one does not get an observation free of prejudice because of this carefulness. He was not like a thunderbolt, even if he looks a little slow. If he can take on the science he will do about what his father claims for him. Darrell Parkington, a sport writer, of campailles, has this to say: "He was famous 'Buby Bob' of pugilistic fame, who was king pin of the heavyweights in the world, and was yesterday for a week's engagement at the Majestic Theater. Lanky Bob is an interesting old man of the ring, and he is always in love with Robert Fitzsimmons, former, Duplex, N. J. The former champion is strung up for style, and chose the Seymour as his place of abode while in the city." The veteran, who at one time mooscolled middle-weight, light heavyweight "White Hope" - Bob Fitzsimons Jr., an 18-year-old son whom old Fitz believes is deserved - re-establish the famous name of Fitzsimons Jr. Fitz is enthusiastic over the youngest. So enthusiastic, in fact, that he loves the boy will be able to whip any boy in his room. He's got the old stuff, says Bob, "and there'll be another amazing heading the heavyweight gain." He might be older. The youngest but also different lines than his famous dad. He large legs, a pair of sturdy arms and a chest. He can hardly be said that the boy could be gained of the ability which made Bob Fitzsimons Sr. the best of all fighters. The little could be gained of the youngest, giving generalship in the three tame animals which he boxed with his dad. If which he shot into his dad's face, even if he would not know until he gets into actual warfare what he can do. One of the daily publications had this to say: Fitzsimons, former heavyweight champion of the world, opened a works gym a week earlier, accompanied by his father, who is said to be one of the prominent white hopes of the country. Lanky Cornishman, opened his aces with monologue that showed careful preparation and closed it by boxing three enthusiastically received yesterday, insist fraternity and the sporting public in general, but the main interest was in his much-advertised son. Bob, JR., certainly has the build necessary for a good white hope, he appears at fat and slow, although he did not to best adrangement in his sparring. his father, seeming to be afraid to hit the older man. In his monologue, the former champ says his son in only the third round never received a boxing lesson in his life, but that before long, the boy will have to conquer the away-wight weightfighters of the World. The will have to show a lot of improvement over his present form before he can fight. The will be likely to suffer the same fate that other white hopes have who have Fighting in his advance advertising younger son would hardly be a match for Jack Dillen. But it will initiate into the order of the Buffaloes at the regular weekly "wallow" cell B. Harrison conferred the degree. SPORT MELANGE FROM ALL PARTS. Served Up for the Benefit of the Cult. Sam Langford and Kid Cotton will do a battle of eight rounds at Chattanooga, Tenn., April 15. Kid Fields, of Indianapolis, wishes it was that the fight in the featherweight division be the first business. He is willing to meet all comers in his class. Sam Langford of Boston defeated Jim Johnson of Philadelphia in a ten-round match that lifted Langford weighed 200 pounds, twenty-six lighter than his opponent, but outpointed Johnson in eight of the round. Johnson was a good fighter and held Langford even in the fourth. Langford showed the stories that he has gone back to a mere shadow of his former self is disproved. He seemed a great deal more than a destroyer of a year or a two back. # baseball players: Speaker $18,000 Mathewson 17,500 Evers 15,000 Cobb 15,000 M.

(By Noble Sissle.)

Last Sunday in the distinguished Judge Orbison were constantly giving evidence of their enthusiasm by spontaneous up-turns, unusual postures and delivery and a marked sincerity that won for him the most strict attention of every one present. He told that of any statutory cause and the unanimous decision of the audience—his jury—was in his favor. After telling a humorous story that led up to his commending on the number of times he had been immediately plunged into his subject saying by way of introduction: "Patrick Henry when he insisted that the greatest clause in it that 'All people had the right to it, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.' Just that, put that greatest clause in it, even the right of life, liberty and Life. Under the subject of Life the speaker said that the parents of children had been in temporary surroundings to live in. Those who were in position to should provide care for them, and be heathful. "Then, too," the speaker said, "there are more children that die from neglect and unsuitary conditions that breed germs than from any other." Liberty. "Give the child liberty. Don't bind him with ignorance and disease. Every parent owes it to the child to bring him to school. Don't forget from the many diseases that come from ignorance on the parent's part. Every parent owes it to the child to teach every mother should be a chum of her daughters. The child has the right to walk, the right of the parent to step by step through life, the full story of life not to leave him or her to find it out in the cruel school of life. The child is bound by blind blundering the outcome of worldly advice. Give the child Lib- Pursuit of Happiness. A. M. E.
