W. Thompson. Bureau of The Freeman, 1506/2 S. C. Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24—In the suffrage laws of the states of Oklahoma and Maryland are unconstitutional. So states use the Supreme Court of Oklahoma to down last Monday. The Negro people of the entire nation are long and warrior some litigation over this vital question of ballot restriction is regarded as significant and is pronounced by students of history as the most significant declaration with which the nation's highest tribunal in more than two generations. The fact will be far-reaching, and participation as far as the handling of Negro suffrage in the of the Southern states is concerned. The downfall of the system of suffrage in vogue, these cases cause, and the legalization in future actions brought for the relief of the colored persons thus discriminates. The circumstance that fixes the sub- stance character of the opinion in the mind of the author is that the decision America is the fact that the decision is court in both the Oklahoma and the Texas courts, and that one "fly in the ointment", perhaps, is the supplementary state- ment of the court. The grandfather clause," associated with unconstitutional law in these cases is would be regarded as sound law if standing alone. Just what this means is that the states interested in keeping the scores of the Negro at a minimum. The states are summoned for news and comment touch- sons these celebrated cases and for that the vulnerable period will prevail with Europe and Mexico in the Fountain Peyton Named for Board of Education, Another great situation has been unraveled in Washington's pitquerecue appointment by the District Supreme Court of Counsel.

The 100,000 Negroes will be able for along educational lines. The assignment of Mr. Peyton is regarded as a allure of a career, because school reform in the District and its restrict blow to the fact that assistance to the retention of Assistant Superintendent of schools against the wishes of 90 per cent. of the school patrons of the colored adherents of Bruce fought for all a career was in them and brought to bear every influence on the command—and failed utterly to control the situation at the crucial moment of their career in the district. Mr. Peyton and the changes that are certain to follow within the next few months are an absolute achievement of the end of the Bruce dynasty in the hard schools of Washington, which have taken a turnoff from the time he took her job, them eight years ago up to the present, has the active hostility of the man not be considered a success and when it impaired to the breaking point through the lack of popular support, good judgment suggests that a change would be beneficial to all concerned. Without excitement, but with a fixed determi- nation to inaugurate an era of reform in the schools, the people are going to be more educated, more way and shortly after the opening of Congress in December, there will be “something doing on the Hill.” He congratulated upon all sides.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Short Flights WHEN TO KEEP STILL. Oh, the man who is ready and facile of speech Is the man who will dazzle the throng; And the things that he says our at- will reach. cause trouble. To the man who knows when to keep still. The man who is eager and quick to reply. To ask question that time may present. We're forced to admire—yet how often we also see And return to our old discontent. The man with a courage and conscience devout May be lacking in frequent thrill. But the man who knows when it is time to speak out Is the man who knows when to keep still. —Washington Star. "Black Billy Sundays" are multiplying. It will pay you to "Watch Your Step." The Negro is an unadulterated American. The best thing about gossip is that most of it isn't so. "The sweet girl-graduate" has the center of the stage. "Talk prosperity," and "hard times" will take to the woods. Doors open wide for the friend who comes without the "hard-luck" tale. "Axe-grinding" must be reciprocal to be regarded as a profitable industry. Happiness has little in common with the folks who live beyond their means. Plowing is a *dainty pastime* compared with the toil of "keeping up with the Joneses." Unless a fellow has a hide like that of an elephant he had better keep out of the exposition business. There are two colored policemen on the force at Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Star says they are of the "fineest." Being a "leader" is no cinch—that is where a sure enough leader More brickbats than bouquets fail to his lot. Everybody is getting ready for the 15th annual meeting of the National Negro Business League at Boston in August. Experienced business agree that the newspaper is the best advertising medium it represents the people of every kind and condition. The maddest man in creation is the one who knows he is in the wrong and feels that he must run a bluff to keep folks from finding him out. The moratorium, which has existed for some moons in quarters where money used to be "easy," had not been held at the hour of our going to press. When a colored newspaper ventures to accurately photograph a public matter, the fellows who can't stand the truth try to give it out that the editor is "fighting them." Anyhow, it will be a long time before the ordel of hustling for funds with the role to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Negro's emancipation. Theo. Baughman, who used to hold the fort down in Texas, is doing some gilt-edged work on the Topeka Plain-dealer, "Thede" and "Nick" Chiles to state a great team of newspaper hustlers. The Florida Senate put the "kibosh" on the bill passed by the Lower House to disbar all colored lawyers in the State. There is yet hope for the land. Michael Anderson, Matt Lewey, J. Bailley John Lankford and Col. Bill Bloedgitt. Bishop Alexander Walters says the Zion church should be an active factor in the proper effort on the part of the temperance people of the country, the United States can be made practically a "saloonless nation" by 1820. Bishop Walters very sensibly declines so be considered for any politician in the administration. There is no office higher than that of Bishop, and right worth the race's foremost Christian statesman living up to its lofty standards. The Topkea islandaler very properly complains of the neglected condition of the grave of Bishop Abram Grant at San Antonio, Texas. Through the years, the grave has been taken to improve the surroundings and to see that the grave is well cared for in the future. The colored man of this country is keeping a sharp eye on the war game and will get into it, if the situation permits. Being of the "stars and stripes." This is the country of his birth, the sheet-anchor of his opportunities and the one of helpful endeavor for his children. --- Brer Julius F. T. Taylor, editor of the book *Broadway: a pouring hot shot to the heart* (2001), pouring hot emancipation exposition, soon to be the focus of the next night to be a heart-to-heart conference between the contending forces. We have always been Brer Julius T. Taylor willing to reason. --- By the passage of an ordinance by the city council, "The Birth of a Nation," "The Nigger," and similar photo-plays are barred from Wilmington, where the city council and managed to a successful issue by Dr. John O. Hopkins, of the drug firm of Hopkins & Banton, the only colored member of the city council. It pays to keep to keep vallant souls as Dr. Hopkins on the job in times like these. --- Melvin J. Chism is holding up "The Light" at Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and declares he will work night and day to brighten its rays to calcium caller. Mr. Chism is also effective licks for the National Negro Press Association, of which he is president. Oklahoma is an inviting field for a colored man of courage and determination. Mr. Chism will live up to his big opportunities in this new Eldorado. . . . The local branch of the National Negro Business League at Newport under the leadership of Col. R. T. Stewart, an enterprising grocer of the city. The meetings of the organization have given many people in the town have grown in strong impetus for improvement all along the line and among the people has come a keener impulse to patronize industries controlled by men and women of the race. --- Bishop J. W. Hood, the "grand old man" of the Zion connection, is out in Detroit urging that the financial board J. J of his church be incorporated—that it have the legal right to sue and be sued, and that its executive committee be given authority to negotiate loans and supervise the bursement of borrowed money. He commends in unstinted terms the constructive work and clever financing general of Zion. In Washington and some other towns a female teacher loses her job if she gets married. It is different out in Los Angeles, where, as a solution to the social problem, the law provides that teachers must be born in the United States, must be natural- ized American citizens, if not born under our flag, or must have married Americans. County Superintendent of Boothbay County, the father, advised to 100 halting school-marches to "marry or quit your jobs." With Dr. Booker T. Washington protesting vigorously against the film-play, "The Birth of a Nation," following his unquivalent stand against slavery from Africa, the West Indies and other countries, and his annual deliverances on the lynching evil, it would seem that he was not the watchman on the wall. It must not be forgotten that it was the Tuskegee "Wizard" who fostered "Railroad ways," "Health Week," and the effectiveness of prosperity. The National Negro Business League. Unquestionably, one of the ablest papers on a burning issue of the hour of the Kentucky Teachers' Conference meeting of the Kentucky Teachers' Conference Society at Danville, Ky., by Miss Mary E. Britton, M. D., a practicing physician, wrote in her language so plaintive that "the wayfaring man, tho' a fool," could not fail to grasp the force of our work. She should have published in pamphlet form and broadcast among our people throughout the land. . . Those charged with the business of advertising the Richmond emancipation labor, just about four months too late, to reach the masses of the race. A few placards here and there, a circular letter, a poster, and nursing the show in an individual vest-pocket are not the methods that exploit a national exposition—one that should suit to illustrate the progress of the 4,000,000 Negroes years of freedom. The Negro press has been practically ignored by the little local affair that the Richmond show seems likely to be. The selection of George W. Hays of Cincinnati, Ohio, as a member of the Board of Trustees of Wilberforce University, is in keeping with the esteem of the things W. Hays is one of the Buckeye State's most progressive citizens. He has served credibly in the State Legislature and was a useful member of one of the most influential groups of the orphaned Orphans' Home, superintendent of the Mound Street Baptist Sunday school, grand director of the G. U. O. of O. F., and in many other activities. Mr. Hays has shown a degree of public service and has excelled in race would do well to emulate. He will be a valuable assistant to President W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce. Brer Anderson, who writes some mighty fine editorials for the Chicago Advertiser, must not be alarmed about the Flaming Sword and lend inspiration to the race for great deeds, etc. We have spellbinders by the hundred, can mount the weights of Parnassus and the flowery wings and who can stir the coldest audience to the wildest enthusiasm—while they are dealing out their own business, they remain that in this intensely practical age, the leader who can blaze the way toward comfortable homes, regular meals, presentable clothing and the account is the type of chieftaint the race stands in the greatest need of. Editor Oswald Garrison Villard, of the New York Evening Post, strikes the nail squerely on the head when he knocks on the door of the colored man could have in the hotel and cafe business, if he would choose himself earnestly and efficiently make notes of the fact that the best cooks America ever knew were the ante-helium Negroes, who brought the finest people to the finest people of the South. He pertinently asks why not their pecuniary the lead of the old heathen and practical the African people, instead of allowing foreigners to do it. It is a sad comment on the business acumen of the Negro that Greek in the raking in fortunes by controlling the cheap "cook-shops" of the country, when this is one of the calls in the mind to think color line. It just "looks natural" to see colored people handling good goods and putting them before the hungry multitude, be the latter of high or low estate. JACKSONVILLE. ILL. (By Nellie Early.)

SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1915. Haytil is enduring a revolution this week, the eighth in seven years. That is what is called going some. A few colored brothers are included in the indicted batch. We come darn near being in everything. Old Simon of Cyrene was a colored man, at least, an African. National Negro Press Association at Boston, August 18. The National Negro Business League follows immediately afterwards. The biggest and best meetings are expected in the birthplace of the league. Indiana is rapidly making history in the matter of election conspiracy. Now it is Indianapolis that is contributing its share to the unenviable notoriety. The Marion County grand jury, this week, reported indictments against 128 persons, including the mayor of the city, the chief of police, and the distingushed Thomas Taggart. It was an awful blow, and which fell in unexpected places. Of the number fifteen are Republicans and Progressives. Most of them gave bonds. Thomas Taggart, national Democratic committeeman, had this to say of his indictment by the Marion County grand jury: "I do not care to try my case in the newspapers because I do not know what I have been indicted for. But when the case comes up for trial I will be tried along with the rest of the boys who have been indicted and I suppose by that time I will find out with what crime I am charged. As yet I do not know, although I have tried to find out since I gave bond this morning." Mayor Bell said that none of the indicted men's plight so moved him as that of Allen Garnett, colored, his faithful messenger. "I can't understand why Allen should be indicted for anything," said the mayor. "There is no man in Indianapolis less harmful. He is a Republican, has served two Republican mayors and was retained by me because his services not only were invaluable to me, to but the city government as well. I am sure that he did not take part in the election work." Ain't that a noble fight for the poor and downtrodden? A Harvard professor has given it out that the mind gets bum after the age of twenty-nine. His observation may be correct, but he will find many who will take issue with him just as many refuse to take on the Ostier theory. It may be that one can not take on more steam after the age of twenty-nine, but they know much better how to direct the engine from twenty-nine up. The Harvard professor says only experience comes after that age. It may be so, and if so, it is well that it be known, so when seen persons who appeared only in their intellectual birth at about the age the professor says the sun of the human intellect is making for its nadir. It is said that the "Birth of a Nation," the moving picture play which is being so bitterly fought, will go to Paris and London. The object is to show them over there what sort of folk we have been, and maybe to show them what we now are. Well, we have no power to blot out the past, but our race, if it will, can give the lie to a misrepresentation of the present. And indeed, if it is represented truthfully, and yet not favorably, we can remedy the fault at once. The Dixon crusade and others can be beaten if we are willing to beat them. The persecuted righteous are their own best defense. Very civilization rests upon the assertion of right and the poet had such a thing in view when he said. "Truth crushed to earth will rise again." The Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. church went to pieces at its recent meeting at Wilberforce, when a secretary had to be chosen. "The death of Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., who was the senior bishop and president of the board of bishops, caused Bishop B. F. Lee, D. D., of Wilberforce, Ohio, to become the president by the fact that he was next in seniority. Bishop Lee has for many years been the secretary. His becoming president caused a vacancy in the secretaryship. Bishop J. S. Flipper, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., was assistant secretary, and as such many thought that he would automatically become the quadrennial election of officers of the eminil in June, 1916. The bishops met and Bishop C. S. Smith, of Detroit, Mich., urged that the place of secretary be filled at this meeting. A ballot was had and Bishop John Hurst, of Baltimore, was elected." This action on the part of the body caused the feeling that the southern wing of the church had been slighted. Effort was made to patch up the difference, but it was unavailing. The southern bishops left for their homes feeling blue. The little fight, fortunately will not amount to much, as they are yet bishops, and who will not allow a section feeling to go so far as to endanger the general prosperity of the church. THE SUPREME COURT DECISION. It will be noted elsewhere in this issue that the supreme court of the United States has declared that the "grandfather clauses" in the Oklahoma state constitution and in the Annapolis (Md.) election statute restructuring the Negro vote, are unconstitutional. This very important good news must have been electrifying to thoughtful colored men when they first heard it. Indeed it was the unexpected, not to speak of the unanimous vote of that court. The successful efforts of so many of the southern states to care for white voters, eliminating the Negroes, had well night caused a general belief that the condition was fixed—a permanent part of our body politic. The only prospects for an uprooting rested with the supreme court, the political complexion of which, in the recent years, it was thought gave no hope of that kind of a thing happening. The watchful waiting policy has long been the colored man's part in the transaction. The cards were stacked in truth, seemingly, for all time. The decision while affecting the localities cited, yet it relieves the whole situation by precedent and whether other cases are pressed soon or late, we have the consolation of knowing that the judicial department of the government has come out flat footed for the law as it is written and for the spirit in which it was written. The Oklahoma Constitution on the point which was at issue: No person shall be registered as an elector in this state, or be allowed to vote in any election here, unless he be a citizen of the state of Oklahoma, but no person who was, on January 1, 1866, or at time prior thereto, a citizen of the state of Oklahoma, or at that time resided in any foreign nation, and no lineal descendant of such person, shall be deceived in the election of the state because of his inability so real and write sections of such Constitution. The object, as all know, was to keep the Negroes out of the elections of that state, at least, reducing them to a non-influential quantity as electors. The date 1866 was selected so as to include all white men whether they could read and write sections of the constitution or not. Chief Justice White, a Southern Democrat, holds that it is a violation of the fifteenth amendment to select an arbitrary date for the qualification of voters. That court did not strike at a literacy test, for that would reach all white men. If auck at holding white men free of the burden of the act left the Negroes, all of them at the mercy their education. Both morally and politically this was unfair. White men with all their chances were helped to escape their burden of illiteracy, while the Negroes with their poor opportunity were hampered by obstructions studiously thought out and set up in front of them. But the change has come and from such a source as to be of peculiar value. To us, it appears, as an earnest expression of good will of thoughtful men, who have finally concluded that America cannot afford to be indifferent to a single citizen. It is a splendid thing to know that we owe this change not to parties as such. The court in its unanimity set aside Republicanism and Democracy, the surer sign that the Negro is desirable in this country, being insured the great things enjoyed in common. We can battle along in the smaller affairs as heretofore, giving and taking according as situations warrant. However, since Democracy has the reputation of being against us, we cannot resist the temptation to express some warmth of feeling for what the supreme court has done with the assistance of the Democrats. We take it that the Negroes will find in their hearts to reduce much of the "ancient" feeling in the light of this new experience. A very great hindrance has been removed. SEPARATE OR MIXED SCHOOLS. The following paragraph, which was clipped from the Capital, a daily publication of Topeka, Kans., was forwarded to this office, and presumably for editorial comment: Iola, Kan., June 20.—Separation of white and colored pupils in the public school rooms of the city's suit of a majority petition filed by the colored people with the school board, school rooms and colored teachers be provided as soon as practical. The petition will be granted as soon as art teachers are allowed to move of the movement, Dr. J. S. Bass and M. Miller, leaders among the city's colored schools would make the race less dependent upon the whites, that it would not be compelled to prepare for the vocation of teacher, that colored pupils could have constant association and encouragement of their meetings. The colored people cannot be compelled to accept separate schools that colored pupils in the city makes it possible, in this city, We do not wish to have it appear that we feel to be a Sir Oracle, or an umpire, as it concerns the questions that arise now and then from racial situations. He that is hasty with his advice will soon exhaust his store; and that is no oriental proverb. It's a plain truth gathered of the flight of time. However, we feel a satisfactory sense, whatever that may be, in knowing that we have not labored in vain, in knowing that in the many years of the existence of this publication the better of the two words, "Success" and Failure," is written across its escutcheon. We feel to say something of this kind in deference to the many others who are of the same ranks as ourselves and who are doing similar work, and also to the best thought of the race, insisting that we serve, claiming only the pre-eminence, if any, that comes through serving. In New York it was recently decided in a particular case, that there should not be separation in the schools, or that school. In Topeka, Kans, the colored people are asking that there be separate schools and for certain reasons, and which seem plausible enough. This seems to be an inconsistency. And yet the situations are consistent. And yet the variations localities which are more or less influenced by the race question. The New York idea, of course, is ideal in itself. It is as it should be if we have ideal citizenship in view. But it is no more ideal than the one asked for in Topeka, since schools, as we have learned, do but very little to advance the race into the greater citizenship. Without effort to make less of what New York has secured we can safely say that it will not weigh against all the other hidebound racial situations as known to that great city and elsewhere. When churches, lodges, business places begin to take on a mutual aspect, when the egro is formed in the genius of life, when that side show existence is seen disappearing, then there will be particular reason to insist on the New York idea as the ideal for every community. The New York idea is the utmost idea, the only idea, when thought THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER apart from real conditions; it is not so unsupported by conditions in kind, even for that community, unless it may may be viewed as an entering wedge. We have already said that schools have not proven entering wedges. And while this is true, at the same time it has been shown in some cities that the demand for mixed schools and which mostly meant white teachers, was scarcely more than mere mockery, the object being to get rid of colored teachers, and thus consciously or unconsciously reducing the respectability of the race. By eliminating this class which stands for so much among us, the reduction of respect for the whole would follow. We don't need affidavits to bolster up these assertions. When discussions get warm in communities where the question is agitated one will soon be convinced that there arises a strong feeling right in the race, and which questions the ability of race teachers to teach the race, the meanest possible argument since it means the shutting out of Negro prospects altogether in the event those persons had their way. We have nothing to urge against what is being done in New York, in Chicago, in Philadelphia, and in many of the northern cities. It would be criminal to advocate the throwing down of such schools. They answer Americanism at its best. They, however, do not stand as a sign of a growing mutuality. They are unattended by that community. They do not answer as coefficient or exponents, which should raise the total situation—churches, lodges, business places of which we have spooken. In view of the general separation the separate schools are missionary to a great extent. We can speak with authority of the situation in this city, Indianapolis. The colored teachers do much in keeping alive an aggressive and helpful community spirit, and which could not be so great a degree under any other situation. When one thinks of the products of our colored schools the feeling that the Romans had when Rome was at its best, takes possession; it was a glory to be a citizen of that country. A few days ago thirty-five colored pupils graduated from the two high schools. Two of these, girls, are but fourteen years of age, the youngest in the history of the schools from which have graduated thousands of white pupils. One of them, Miss Merle Stokes, stood fourth on the honor roll of one of the schools. The highest mark was 94.58. Miss Stokes' average was 94.21. The high schools are mixed schools, having white teachers. But the ground work of those pupils was with the colored teachers in the common schools. Besides this extraordinary showing of this year is that of the past years. "Made in Indianapolis," has been an "unimpeachable" brand for many years. The output is known for its uniqueness, is more colorful than amorous, but deep, silent and sure, like the coral workers under the sea, building everlasting. We set this forth as an example of what separate schools can do at their best, and which recommend them in view of the general separate conditions. Topeka is not doing itself an injustice in looking out for more of the community spirit. The teaching vocation itself is considerable and not to be despised as a vocation. We sometimes affect to be so sentimental that we try to overlook the fact, setting forth right airly that the schools are not for teachers, but for the children. One can read the indictment of our own through this. Employment of any kind is valuable to the race, and since it is not found possible to enjoy much of it teaching white children, it is best to get as much of it as possible in spite of what we may so to the contrary, gets the quickest and best results for getting along in the country, even in our own race. We assert this in the face of that other sentiment which is as often meant to defeat the race as to do it good. LETS DOWN BARS TO NEGRO VOTERS Supreme Court Decides That Grand father Clause in State Laws is Unconstitutional. MANY STATES ARE AFFECTED Verdict Refers Directly to Oklahoma and Maryland, but Other States in South Probably Are Reached. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21—The "grandfather clauses" in the Oklahoma state constitution vote in the oil oils (MO), election statute, restricting the Negro vote, were annulled as unconstitutional by the supreme court of the United States. The Court held today that Oklahoma had not meant to provide a literary test to those qualified to vote in 1886 was legal, and hence struck down that test, although holding that standing alone constituted the decision was unanimous. Chief Justice White announced the decision, holding that it was a violation of an arbitrary date, such as 1866, in fixing the qualification of voters. The decision is believed to reach "grandfather" legislation in many southern states. Property and other tests for voters are enacted by the Maryland legislature in which the grandfather clause was inserted, were held to be so closely related to the constitution as to make all the qualifications fall. Clause in the Constitution. For more than fifteen years the "grandfather clause" has been inserted in the constitution of southern states. The most popular form of the clause empt from educational and property laws, and was used in 1866, 1887 or 1868, thus leaving the test to apply to those who did not vote at those dates. The Oklahoma grandfather clause provides that no person shall be registered as an elector in this state, or be allowed to vote in any election here, unless he is a member of the section of the Constitution of the state of Oklahoma, but no person who was born in Oklahoma, or a prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time resided in some foreign nation, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his immigration, and write sections of such Constitution. In Maryland Election Laws. In Maryland the clause was inserted in laws governing elections in various states, and in law governing municipal elections in the city of Annapolis. It authorized the city to impose a tax on all naturalized citizens of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of naturalized citizens twenty-one years of age, and all female children of naturalized citizens, all were entitled to vote in the state of Maryland or in any other state of the United States at a state election. Various arguments were advanced to meet the attack that these clauses violated the Constitution, providing that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote in the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude," and that the argument was that the clauses did not "deny" or "abridge" the right of Negroes to vote, as forbid them merely discriminated against them by allowing those not Negroes to vote without meeting the qualifications im- pulsed by the Constitution.

(By J. J. Amos, 1063 North Seventh St.) AMERICAN MARINES ARE SENT TO HAYTI Rear Admiral Caperton Ordered to Land Force of 700 U. S. Sailors to Relieve French Cruiser. WASHINGTON, June 22—Rear Admiral Caperton with his flagship, the French cruiser ordered from Vera Cruz to Cape Haytien today to relieve the marines landed there last week from the French cruiser ordered from Vera Cruz to Cape Haytien. The Washington carries 500 blue jackets and 200 marines available for shipboard use. Haytiel is turbulent again as the result of the recent overthrow of President Sam—the little republic's eighth president—by the United Statesists under Dr. Resolvo Bobo. Reports to Washington told of shooting in the streets of Cape Haytien, and of the killing of natives charged with pillaging. French to Withdraw: Officials of the state department said today France had not as yet notified the American government of the landing of French marines. The arrival at Cayenne, however, Caperton will express the appreciation of the Washington government for the French commander and the French marines probably will be withdrawn. Of the seven Presidents who have passed, President Sam since 1908, six were forced to leave. Recent reports from Hayti have indicated that the result of this swiftly moving government has brought the country to the verge of utter financial collapse.

Address The Freeman Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. # I wish to thank my many friends, who have found pleasure in my weekly contributions to The Freeman, and have taken the time to write and tell me about them. I am often asked advice upon a multitude of subjects. I do not claim unlimited knowledge upon the subject, but I am able to answer though I am making it a life's study. Every day I learn many things from the very persons who ask my advice. I can afford to be liberal in dispensing advice to the people charged with the commodity. It costs me nothing and is yours for the asking. Then when my advice is ignored, and the solicitor suffers dire consequences, "I told you so." Often my stock of advice on hand is compelled to go out of my way and force it upon some innocent performers in need of my wares. By such persons I am more often regarded as an antagonist, an anthropist, so I have decided to put my surplus advice in cold storage, to keep it supplied and distributed only upon demand. Mine is the wisdom (I apologize for the word wisdom) acquired by years of study and every variety of experience not abroad, as yet. Those fellows who have been abroad have something on me. I never feel so utterly insignificant in my life, and I have been a bunch of fellows who have been abroad. They willfully and maliciously monopolize conversation and dominate the occasion to their exclusion of our poor欠懊恳们 who have only had the privilege of wandering about of over these few milestones. Their every sentence starts with or is prodigally punctuated by such expressions as, "When I Was Abroad," "When I Was in London," "When I Was in Berlin," "When I Was in Paris, Copenhagen, Australia, Venice," etc. confess I am not a man of envy, and were it not for the law I would throttle my tormentors and there. But instead, I must "fold the Arab and silently steal away." At one time I entertained serious thoughts of going abroad. I had no special destination or object. But one day I met a girl in the ship and when he returned I learned more about Europe from him history or reading Marin's accounts Abroad. I felt that if I could just set foot on the other side, in Europe, I would be able to abroad, I could rely upon my imagination to do the rest. I had even started to pack my suit case; then the girl came back and returned to the great men, and I decided I had not the right to risk losing my greatness to posterity. I traveled many things. Driven almost to desperation by conversations of my friends from abroad, I came back and returned to a chance and not to be forced to a subway, when the fates intervened, conspired against me and declared the German submarines and down went tania. That was a sign. I am not superstitious, but I believe in signs, will be able to meet my environment. Since I have been my environment, conclusion I can even dieve pleasure from the many tales of adventure and told by my friends from abroad. Pardon my digression. Let me see, where was it at? Oh, yes! We were here, and I was there, and on another day, a good correspondence friend mine asked this advice: "How to become a great comedian and what were the most essential requisites or qualifications to become a great comedian, doubt the sincerity of this correspondent's friendship. His letters proved him to be, at least theoretically, as well versed upon the subject, as my friend was. The subject of the comedian, is the subject that consumes most of my time. When I have attained the goal of my ambitions I am better qualified to talk upon the subject." "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Not calling myself a dullard, upon upon upon the hypothesis that ignorance of the subject will for not giving advice upon or about the same, I will endeavor not to dispense the same time tumble myself from the pedestal upon which he has placed me. If you wish advice about how to be a good driver, you wish to know how to run an automobile, ask a mule driver. If you wish to know how to run a bank, ask a bank teller, ask something about show business, ask a farmer, a grocerer, a lawyer, a doctor, anyone that isn't in the show business, ask a lawyer, ask a sermon on how to attain success. So why should I hesitate from telling another how to become a great comedian? might say, do something, say something, anything that will convince a large portion of the audience. If there is a right number to dispute the contention of one's friends as to one's greatness, it will create interest in neutrals will slowly but surely align themselves with the STAGE NOTES.

While enroute to her home in New York, Sensational Ruby Taylor Jones was captured at Charleston the day she scored heavily in four song numbers. "Can't Stop Loving You," "Beautiful Rose," "Long Way from Home," and "You." Her latest and biggest hit is of a hob in complete tramp makeup, featuring "Long Way from Home" and done in entirely new idea; very clever. GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TR, PHILADELPHIA. A feature of the show this week called "His Honor, the Mayor," an in-depth augmented stock organization at Gibson's New Standard theatre, was in the Simon's sensation, the work of the company's wartime members of the company who participated in the diversion seemed to be the outlooks. Blanche Thompson was in high favor with her contributions to the merriment, and song features from Tutt old favorites, with "pros" or "cons" and one is in a fair way to become a great comedian. But what must one say or do? I don't know; if I did, modestly would not prevent me from saying or doing what I wanted, all the glory and greatness in sight. Then, like Admiral Schely, after I got married, I genuinely and diddly declare, "There was glory enough for all!" Looking backwards, would seem to be that to be a great comedian, a man must succeed in being the best one. George Walker, Ernest Hogan and Beverly were eminently such great comedians. They were men of intelligence, students of art, and workers, wise diplomats; possessed with sight and intuition, and a knowledge of men and things that made them great. Comedy requires no less art than tragedy. Comedy without art will mislead, impression and dispenser will often so oblivious that there are two principal kinds of comedians. The frivolous, frrolling kind, their comedy is spontaneous, effervescent and often bloody. They attack their work with the happy, care-free abandons. Then there is the studied comedian who finds his audience a sensitive, finely strung instrument to be played upon with the artistic touch of a master's degree. They acquire their discordant note that may offend its finer sensibilities. He has an acute sense of the value of tempo and place, and he has an acute sense of pianissimo, he accelerates with grungy crescendo into a fortissimo that is never harsh and the harmonious intensity upon an audience. He is astute and instantly perceives the psychological moment to place his pum. He rarely outstretches his outstretches of pure, undulated laughter. This is art. This is genius. At the Central Theatre John T. Gibson presented a bill of superior quality. Jack and Jill, white comedy acrobat, will be wonderful and highly amusing stunts. seen in a class rehearsal and Lee were seen in a class rehearsal and taking trio. Julius Weaver is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute. Eula May Weaver was a teacher in a Texas college and a former first-class work upon the stage. Mylee Lee, as a tenor, dancer and tumbler, is a valuable addition to the others. Weaver is a down team of May and May, with "String Beans" her nantor, funloving, obstreperous levee or cotton field darkey. He is innately funny with a magnetic personality, who sort to lines and songs overflowing with double, triple and sometimes quadruple entendre; but an unprejudiced accessory to the crime, "String Beans serves the dish and they, the audience, eat it up with evident relish, so why eat it the blame to "Beans. He possesses an obvious comedian; tall, lean, lanky, the personification of a bean pole, with elongated head, liberal mouth, full lips and an expressive mouth of authority. He encounter no difficulty in being funny and none should envy him his wide popularity, "Sweetie", his partner, is of difficulty in being funny and contributes largely to the success of Beans. Johnson and Selman, blackface entertainers, were a big hit on the bill. t entertainers, were a big hit on the bill, Whitney & Tuttle, and the company, presented a tabloid entitled, "His Honor, The Mayor," which was received enthusiastically. The pastor, as an Indian princess, James Woodson, as Eagle Eye, an Indian chief, and Frank Jackson, as Pedro Manuel, and Mexican Mexico, furnished Indian special mention.

We are now in our eleventh week since opening the season at Westpoint, and we are still in the midst of a luck that follows this show. We have not played a real bloomer this season, and our manager, Mr. T. P. Littlejohn, has been so large that the show instead of cutting off. He seems to pay no attention to the crowd, and we have countered rain like all the rest, but it usually runs in the forenoon or just after the show begins and we have people in and our mammoth waterproof canvas is filled to capacity nightly.

Two amateur ball teams of Cleveland, O, namely the Strawder Movers, formerly the Z Stars, and the Cleveland Wizards, were the winners of five games to which team would get Luna Park. The management of the park wanted the best team composed of city amateur players. These two teams had played one with all Cleveland players, and in the final game what does Mr. Brisco do but send and get one of the best players, Mr. Wickware, and it is rumored around THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER town that this same Mr. Briscoe also bought out our best catcher leaving us without a dependable backstop, and we were not able to win. We stood a good chance of winning. As the score was 4 and 2 in favor of the White Sox until the seventh innings, we were able to win the game for two singles and a double, which tied the score with one out and two on our cleanup man. Roy McCormick was the first man to say, call the game, it is getting dark. Mr. Brisco went to Manager Stokes and said we will call him. We were able to win the game, by both managers, and the umpire and after the umpire had announced it to the crowd the game was called, it is where Mr. Wleckware showed his knowledge and says the game goes back to the sixth inning and then Mr. Briscoe was able to win the game. Wleckware thought he would have a cinch, but he was up against one of the best amateur southpaw pitchers in the league and two-thirds innings of the best hitting teams in amateur baseball, as they nicked him for ten hits in six and two-thirds innings, owing to his good pitching with three singles and a double. Some hitting. Mr. Bettis and Mr. Reddon, our crack southpaw, would stand a trial in the team. Beware of this THE FAMOUS SPRUDELS STILL WINNING. WEST BADEN, June 20—Rogers' Sprudels, took a trip through a few of the teams from jasper, in what might be called an umpire's battle, 5-4. Then beat Salem in a mud field, 13-4; then innings, 14-5; then innings, 14-4; Elmore, and Bloomfield also lost to them 6-3 and 10-4. They lost at Bedford, 4-2; and Henry McLaughlin, two well known ball players are the new additions to the Sprudel team. He played at St. Louis, has developed into a pitcher. Harrison who was once a popular score keeper in St. Louis, is playing the great game, in position on the field except catcher, and has made good at nearly all of them. Of C. I. Recs' plays has made good at Baden. Briggs was playing second for C. I. down South Rogers' Sprudels in right field. The general opinion of the fans in Baden is that Briggs is the only real right fielder that has been here since Bing-bom Charley Blackwell, the little left fielder for the Sprurels, came right behind Blackwell in the type of Shively, well known as the fastest little ball player who ever put on a suit, but the surper beat him fielding. There is hardly a game that Blackwell don't pull down a phenomenal catch. Of new Sprurels that the boys will marvel at as soon as they are able to make all these big umbrella at the springs ball park, says Owner Rogers will soon prove himself, as a Connie Mack, in maturing young players. Rogers four players that were never known until this season. Rube Foster, the "Old Reliable," has always gotten some of his best players from the Sprurels. Rogers says he has an idea that he will follow those follows pay for this Sprurel material they grab off every year. The Sprurels play the Louisville White. The White plays Rogers in a players player, and will have a pliorship contest on the Y. M. C. A. grounds with Mr. Chick Sanders. Managers an expert with the racket, will also be with the Sprurels looking for a game STRAIGHTENING OUT THE LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMP TANGLE. WALSH AND FINNEY FIGHTS EAST-TEN ROUNDS. STEUBENVILLE, O., June 17.—Jimmy Walsh, the Boston bantamweight, and Kid Finney, the colored flash, traytaught rounds before a large crowd here tonight at the Lyric rink rink. Walsh was not the only player neither were able to score Finney's superlative cleverness enthused the onlookers. The little colored boy who played with the rugged bantamweights in the game, surprised the crowd by standing toe to toe and exchanging blows with the rugged bantamweights forced the colored flash to extend himself. His fast foot work enabled him to win the crowd worse than a draw, as Finney's lead was so light to cause one to hesitate in deciding against the rugged bantamweights, worse than a draw, as Finney's lead was so light to cause one to hesitate in deciding against the rugged bantamweights, worse than the final round the easterner rushed and kept sailing into Finney, who was more than willing to play. Walsh Both fought his wildcats, Walsh having the better of the exchange. RATTLESAKE KID HONING FOR BATTLING JACK RUSSELL. Shreveport, La. June 14, 1915. Dear Sir—I see where Battlejack Jack Russell, of Montgomery, Ala. has been called, and he takes what is all uncalled for. In the first place, he is a very poor fighter; in second, he has no reputation, as he has one. He was knocked out in seven rounds by Leo Johnson, in New Orleans, 1814, at the North Side A. C. Young Joe Gans four rounds, and I beat him in Montgomery in six rounds the 1st of July, 1914, and that is the only time I have played with him. His life, and Russell knows that he has never been any place to fight except once he came to New Orleans, and that is the only time he has ever left dear friends. In manager's part, he knows that Jack is no fighter, but if he wants to see his so called champion fight me, he will send me to come and fight Jack in his club? If he will match me with Jack, I will agree to stop him in six games. If he will fight me, fight. Now this is real business with me. I mean all I say, and I will fight any lightweight in the world. I beat You for the Gans for the title and that's why I am claiming it today, but I will defend my weight in the world, and I will accept any reasonable terms from promoters to fight any amount of rounds with any weight in the world, and I will meet me and I bar no one in the world. I will prove to the public that I am a champion, and I will all I want is a chance and I will do the rest. I remain in clean sport, Ratte the Snake Kid, colored lightweight world Shreveport, A. C. Shreveport, La. KID JONES SAYS HE IS LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPION—ALBE- WITH Sporting Editor Freeman. Dear Sir--Please say for me to Rattlesnake Kid I am champion of the game. I will meet him at any club in the country for the title and for a side bet under any arrangement he can make to settle the dispute as to who is the best player. I will meet him at Kid Gardner at New Orleans when Snake was in my corner. Snake knows me and if he is champion he should be given the title.
