During the past week the condition of Brisbane Fire has changed materially, their being tempestuous and unprovoked, only to be succeeded by turns for the worse. The physicians, as is a very sick man and that only with the most careful treatment can a permanent cure be effected. The severity of the injury in that the lesion on the brain cannot be definitely located and the injury touches such delicate tissue, will be attended with the greatest danger. It will be many expect to resume his duties in connection with the schools. His condition is critical. The meantime the work of the colored schools is being assumed by Superintendent E. L.

It is reported that Mr. Thurston has summoned the entire clerical force to the school, the administration of the school and that the details of last year's work may be all straightened up and the schools cared for the coming school. Superintendent does not lessen with the seriousness of his physical condition, misfortune should have overtaken him, and he has the sympathy of friend and, but the bold fact remains that the direction must go on to a finish. The steps planned to be taken in that direction must go on to a final revision of the Board of Education, the consideration of a successor, and a movement to "tone up" the entire system of education, if nothing untoward had happened to the titular head of the colored division.

All men are born equal, but most of them have a hard time proving it. Father—"Staying out of nights and sleeping late of mornings is bad business and it hurts." "It's the early bird that catches the worm." Sister—"What about the worm?" Father—"That worm had never been to bed; it was on its way home." What would playwrights have to do? Woman's suffrage, she not?

If you laugh at your own troubles, You will deal a fatal blow To the scientists who knockers? Who would say: "I told you so." Scientists has invented a screen to be less kissing as a palladium against the transmission of deadly germs; but some of us have learned that germs are the least of the multitudinous dangers to be feared from A dissatisfied performer is always a bad actor. This season the white burlesque shows are employing many colored performers, thus employed will conduct themselves in such manner and work with such zeal and interest that the white managers and managers will cause to regret their employment and next season will see a greater number of colored engraded in this profitable line of work. As Mark Twain would say, the rumor of Frank Montgomery's death has been greatly exaggerated. R. W. Thompson, the great journalist, although not a great writer, will say or write something nice about show folk. He is intimately acquainted with all the 'greats' and the 'smallest' of them, and the theatrical world from their viewpoint as well as from his own. His criticisms are the almost to the best encouragement and a sympathetic hearing from R. W. T. Vaudeville performers say that the Howard Theater, Washington, D.

Jolly John Larkins was in the city for several days. While in Philadelphia he underwent a successful operation upon his throat, and he was given weaker cigar smoking.

The wise performer has been put on his thinking cap and move forward. The "Two Sweets" are headed this way. Always welcome here. Manager A. J. Thomas, of the Howard, is a very capable trombonist. Misses Hattie Akens and Emma Jackson, of the Smart Set, and Baker & Winn are on the bill at Dudley's this week. The Wurlitzer piano has gone from the Howard and Minor's "live-wire" orchestra to "on the job" for good. The 5:30 session of photo-plays at the Howard on Sunday afternoon is a gala occasion. "Society" turns out in force and some pretty gowns are worn by the ladies. The Whitman Sisters did another record-breaking business, the last week, and Beverly and Adams, those live-and-let live-managers, as well as all convened, the company of sight, are at the Foraker this week. Miss Alberta Whitman was taken ill a few days ago and is confined at a hospital for treatment. An operation may be necessary, according to reports. Miss Alberta Whitman is the hospital, Baltimore. Much sympathy is felt for them, both in and out of the profession. Miss Heniartta Vinton Davis, the premier elocutionist, is giving dramatic readings in New Jersey, making her the great True Reformer's Bank in ammonium, and the Virginia Bank, Mr. Brown was able to successfully pilot the Crown Savings Bank and the Penny Savings Bank The rumor of the failure of the True Reformer's Bank spread through Virginia like wildfire, but failed what chance is there for the other colored banks, so reasoned the people. Robbed of their confidence they made hustles to buy the bank, and then unplanned runs on the banks caused the failure of 10 others. The people of Newport were the M.D.Broker the directors of the Crown Savings Bank and after the State examiner had pronounced it safe, they made no more moves. The Penny Savings Bank in Norfolk was a new institution and although it passed the State examiner's inspection the depositors were somewhat skeptical. Mr. Brown and assistants prepared for a run. They carried large sums of money and the bank they awaited the coming of the people. And they came with a rush. The huge stacks of money that were deposited in the bank did not diminish. Everyone who appeared at the window was greeted with a smile, their money handed them and asked to return when the scare was over. Just when it began to appear that perhaps they had miscalculated and overestimated the demand an old lady appeared at the window. Just two days previous she had done $600. The man at the door had curiously addressed her and smilingly remarked: "Well auntie, I guess you have come to draw your money out like the others are." The old lady was fumbling under her ancient shawl and drew therefrom an antique purse. This she handed at the window, saying as she did so: "No son, I don't come to draw none or," she said. "So I can borrow more in. Deree's $150 in that pocketbook an I want yououl to keep it for me. Laws. I don't see" white banks fall jis the same as the little colored banks and I always said that if I was gain' to lose my money I wanted to buy it. The astonished cashier could only stammer his thanks. The other in line watched his money. He had their own lack of confidence, many left the line and followed the old lady without going to the window. Make the bank some one asked the old lady if she got her money. She replied: "No, honey, I didn't ask for none. I put some more in; that bank gave me a fall." Others caught up her words: "That bank ain't goin' to fail," and it didn't. The result of one old lady's confidence and pride Robinson and Nichols were seen in a ban sing and comedy duo. Mr. Robinson received several encores for his sympathetic rendering of a beautiful ballad enlisted by the Price for You. Mr. Nichols' comedy was unctuous and entertaining. Mule and Jeannette Bradford were held over and repeated their former success. McKisland and Shadney delighted the patrons with a comedy duo that was clean, wholesome and entertaining throughout and was highly appreciated by all who heard them. The Nashville Students, a trio of singers and dancers, were a big feast. D. Carter and Geo. Boutte are dancing marvels. They were a sensation with the Smart Set Company last season. They were delightful, dances gracefully and has a winsome personality. The Kikis, a Japanese troupe, gave a marvelous exhibition. Julian Costello, female impersonator and character artist, is a good singer with a very good voice. His impressionation of a Porto Rican was also a good impressionation of the late Aida Overton Walker in her famous Porto Rican dance. headquarters at Montclair. She is also organizing lodges of Malachites, of which order she is Grand Lieutenant Davis returns home about August I. S. H. Dudley was named a "city board of censorship," with himself as chairman, to sit in front on each Monday night at the various shows and watch the matter that it puts over. The five years old is to be "canned" at once. Some performers who claim a place in Class A are under observation and may get a dose of drastic medicine if they do not "watch their step." the performers who expected to reap a harvest at the Richmond Exposition are "sore" over the "frost" that the theater has been dealing with. There are no words in the dictionary of sufficient warmth to express the surcharged feelings of S. H. Dudley, of the University of Chicago, who want there prepared to rake in the sheckles. The cry that "everything is high now" is not true when one is talking about their opinion of one Col. Giles B. Jackson. House Manager R. G. Byars, of the Howard, is no pilot Judge Robert Howell of the District of Columbia, on a lecture tour of the state of Texas. Mr. Byars is a native Texan and knows everybody in the Lone Star state and with him as custodian of his fortunes, the learned wearer of the judicial ermine is sure to be a royal folk. "real live colored judge" is sure to be a drawing card where there is genuine race pride, and where he stands to stand by his brother who is making good, the Texans certainly "have got it." The Three Cuban Nightingales (Misses Eile King and Nina and Ethel Musselman) and the Blue Mouse this week, after a splendid season at the Iceland, where Manager Coleman was anxious to hold a visit with Manager Martin made it necessary for them to move to Georgetown. This is the third week of these favorites, and going, they could stay all summer without wearing their welcome out. They have been the recipients of much praise, so abundant at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Powell, 2022 Ninth street, that a new doorbell will be in place so abundant at the well-equipped and admirably-balanced trio must separate at the close of their Washington contracts. Miss King has been the host of Ohio, for the remainder of the summer, and the Misses Marshall are to return to Philadelphia to be ready for the comedy for the coming season, "George Washington Bullion Abroad," in which they have leading roles. VIRGINIA MISTRELS (By Reed Conners.) The band, under the direction of J. H. McCamon, never fails to receive the amount of applause it has due on the performance. We thank the Phillip's "Florida Blues."

TOLLIVER'S BIG SHOW. The big show is in Norfolk, Va., this week and playing to our big business. On Thursday night, between 7 and 8 o'clock, we went to the barn and rainstorm. The storm only lasted an hour, but it was the worst one we have ever seen. We were on a white top robe her line. We met a number of performers laying off here. John Peter's players are at the Pekin Theater here and the Tolliver caught a big ball was given at the Globe Hall on Church street, in honor of the show. A number of the boys go to the barn and rainstorm. The rain is the champion fisherman so far—that is, he caught the biggest one. Pa said it measured three feet long, but by measurement he caught a big string last week. He said they were baiting so fast he got them. He said it is telling the boys where to go to get them, as this is his home, and all of his friends are certainly making it pleasant in and out. We all send regards to friends in and out.

Patterson & Patterson went exceptionally good for an opening act here, and he was the only prison scene in which Il Trovatore" was sung elicited much well earned aplause from the audience. Kid Boots, who has become a favorite here, went great, his eccentric dancing being especially good. Pennel & Holden were very good in songs and dances. The female member of this team is a lively little worker, mixing plenty of energy, which was a contrast to her partner, who stood out with his droll comedy. Baby Dick, the four-year-old girl, drew crowds and was loud. All that was to him when he "buzzed" off stage. The serial photoplay, "Zudora," is drawing great crowds.

Robinson & Nicholas, who have a style of the Oceans, give us the opportunity to enjoy their character sketches are true to life and full of humor. Considerable interest was attached to the appearance of the character as was for the second week. The impersonations of Costella pleased, and the character was as pale as it was myfitting, decided hit was made by McKissick & Shadney, who soon became favorites. The Three Nashville Students gave an exhibition of their art, and the light. They are artists in this work and their dances were applauded with vim. They worked hard and made the dances as well as closed with the Six Kiki Troupe of Japanese acrobats, two females and four males. Their feats were wonderfully agile and much careful training and they won many expressions of admiration. Despite the many counterattacks, theness remains above normal and displays a healthy appearance.

Aug. 2.—Yankee drivers today have given up any idea they may have about easy pickings in the big leagues, but they caused so many of the crack French drivers to enlist, raised the bows of American drivers that American price money would be captured by them. But their hopes were in vain for the foreign drivers have just kept coming. The French drivers, the Anglo-Italian, has copied prize in two and second in the other. This is a country of easy money for foreign drivers. In the last two years, the Europeans have won $124,000, or more than half of the purses strung up by speedometers at Indiana-Chicago. Jules Goux, the dare-deal Frenchman, started it by taking the Indianapolis 500 and the Speedway in 1913. During the same year four other pilots crossed the water and when they got through the hung up. The following year was even more profitable. They gobbled every里程, the total of $25,500 out of the speedway purse was taken by the foreigners. Rene Thomas, another death-daring Frenchman, made the big haul.

For this he received a third place in the second place, and 42,000 for the second place, on all his efforts by winning the championship and his sole records, and winning a price of $23,000. This makes a total of $45,000. Restathe won this year. FAMOUS SWATSMEN, OVER 50 YEARS OLD, STILL HIT BALL Detroit, August 3.—At the age of fifty-two Roger Connor, the famous old-time first baseman of the New York Giants, made three of the four games he played in between Springfield and Meriden, of the Connecticut Valley League, in the season of 1903, and one of them was a three-bagger, an equally famous swatter game between Springfield and Meriden, one of the greatest basmen in his day and generation. two seasons he batted well over the 30 mark, and his smashes were of the highest quality. The move mentioned game was the manner in which Roger signalized his return to the game in the capacity of manager of the Springfield team. He played in about seventy-five games, covering first, and making very few errors, his batting average of thirty-seven was the same as those fifty-around the base lines for forty-two runs, which would indicate that he not only slapped the pill, but that he James (Orator) O'Rourke was the big nose in the same league, holding the office of secretary of the league, manager and coach. Bridgewater and Jeems had been playing ball for thirty-two seasons previous to this.

The bout was staged at the BATTLING BALL ONCE WAS A BASEBALL PITCHER. Dear Sir—I was crazy about base ball. I learned the game so well that I became a good player through the spit ball. I played a straight throw and the spit ball. I played a team in St. Paul when I was about 17 years old and we went from one small town to another. I was one of the very one I liked to watch me in the ball game. I made a hit everywhere I went. After reading of a Johnson one wanted to be a pugilist and I took up boxing and now I am making good. I am quick to catch on and any who sees me box can see me. I was one of the about six or seven years while I have been in it only two. I know that I have got lots to learn from one can learn from a fighter and am willing to tie up with any of the 135-pound boys in the business. I have been boxing middleweights, I have been boxing middleweights, and out there a good little man can not beat a good big man. I was matched with Kid Albert of Springfield, a good game and owns a punch longer than mine and much taller than me. On July 11th I was matched with him in the main bout and I was stopped in the third, as I was outclassed in every respect. I wrestled at ringside 134 1-2 and Albert 154. That was a beating in those three rounds. When THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRY YED COLORED NEWSPAPER the referee stopped the bout I walked up to him and said: "What did you do to him, no, no, no." "That's all right. But. He's too heavy for you. I know it and no 135-pounder could. "It as hard as he." Then he ran to the box. "I can carry him to reach, so I am sure I can hold my own with a man my weight, don't bar any. Yours for clean sport." A. B. C. TEAM DOWNS THE CUBAN STARS, 5-2. Dismukes Proves Puzzle to Islanders and Local Champs Win-Parpetti of Visitors Gets a Long Homer. The A. B. Cs. and Cuban Stars played a great game Sunday at Federal Park, the locals winning, 5 to 2.

CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 3—The famous Lincoln Starns invaded this city on last Saturday and opened a series of games at the stadium. The game was the gala day for fans on the south side. The Knights of Pythias band was there to enliven things and a fine crowd of fans gathered.

The Gians got all in, all thirteen hits while Wickwear of the Gians held the visitors door and the ball was put in balls. Wickwear was nervous in the beginning, but when he settled down his work was fine. Wickwear struck out in balls. Parks was at first and Barber played first and Jones was at the back stop. The line-up proved a big success and the team was in the top of all the 11 to 3.

CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 3.—Every fan who loves base ball sport was at the American Giants Park on Sunday. It was a great day, and I looked as though people were out to view a style show. The ladies were there in their beautiful summer attire, and they were wearing their cars. It was an ideal day, hot enough to wear lawns and other thin material. Everywhere you looked you observed a crowd of a semi-pro game this season. The seats in the seat could be found and a thousand of chairs were put around the diamond in two teers. Ragged fielding and poor pitching were the main of the American Giants loosening the second game, who allowed six hits and a walk in the first inning for five runs. In the beginning there would have been a much better game. Mr. Redding, the famous spit ball artist from the east, won his twenty-third victory this year. There was another change in line up.

Dr. Jones is anxious to study the sociological condition of the Negro in Some Business Enterprises. From time to time your correspondent will call attention to the character of the business enterprises that are conducted by you. On his rounds of the city your correspondent comes across many creditable enterprises that are conducted by you. These enterprises are conducted in Harlem, where the largest number of people reside in this city. Among the notable businesses discovered last week under the management was the splendid grocery store of Charles E. Stovall, of 2297 Seventh Avenue, neat and well stocked store, replete with a line of everything that is known to the grocery trade.

Mason. When the news reached this city last week of the death of Dr. M. C. B. Mason in Baltimore many of the most prominent Negroes of this city realized that one of the most noted men in the race Since it was announced that Dr. Mason had been ill at the Johns Hopkins Hospital the many friends of the clergy the great lecturer would win in the race with death. His loss therefore seemed to be a robbery of one of its greatest forces for civile clvlp. Dr. Mason was well known to the nation and as a lecturer we saw about a peer before merger people. He attained an eminent position in the Methodist church and for sixteen years he was a member of the Freedmen's Aid Society, which made him one of the most prominent men of his church. He ranked well as a member of the Methodist church, which he wielded the greatest good. This office as secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society made him a striking perennial member of the Methodistism. Since he left this office several years ago Dr. Mason has engaged in many activities, among them being national membership of the Advancement of Colored People and was the pastor of the Ebenezer M. E. church, one of the churches of the conde of Jacksonville, Fl. He had many friends in this city who will mourn his loss. Your correspondent knew the late Mason the immediate mourn was impressed with the gift of speech and mind. Information reached this bureau that the treatment received by Mason at the hospital was very cruel. Your correspondent will make an immediate investigation. In the death of the noted preacher a great Roman Catholic priest, he taught us about the nation pay to this vallant soldier the tribute he deserved. The Nation is Still Lynching. This nation is still engaged in that infamous pastime of lynching and up to this period with the year but half a century ago, the nation ceeded that of last year. The report sent out from Tuskegee a few days ago to report on lynchings this time-four lynchings have occurred, which shows an increase of over 12 up to this time last year. The causes for lynchings the year have been more difficult than at any other time since Mr. Work has been keeping tab of the lynchings that have occurred in the nation. Negroes have been accused of lynching many things—sassing a white man, refusing to get off the sidewalks and also refusing to address white men as Mr. Negroes were accused of sexual crime," but now it is not for the usual crime, but for anything that is most trivial. On Saturday morning in Texas, or at a public holiday was issued but not on the day the city reported of the ghastly lynching of a Negro in the public streets of Temple, Texas, or at a public holiday was issued but not on the day the city reported that men, women and children gathered in the public square of the city and as the flames ate their bodies, men and women colored man a cheer went up from the crowd as if it was the celebration of a festival. Shame on a nation that goes headlong and infamous game of lynching. An Interview With Madam Walker. Your correspondent a few weeks ago called on Madam M. J. Walker, of Inverness, to visit to her daughter in this city. Your correspondent called at the beautiful residence of her daughter, Mrs. Lella Brennan, after a few moments of waiting had the pleasure of meeting her mother. Mada n. Walker is a remarkable woman and a great inspiration to the women of the race throughout the country. She is a fine example of the old adage that a "man who is the architect of their own fortune." Your correspondent found that Mrs. Walker was on her annual visit to her daughter, and she combined business and pleasure. She said that it was always a pleasure to visit New York and see what the race is doing along the coast, and that New York needed a real first class hotel, and that she felt that a man with the proper experience could feel. Incidents in the life of this remarkable woman were brought out which read like fiction and wrote like poetry. She was most remarkable characters of the time. Here is a woman who a decade ago was earning her living as a scrubwoman and that she has made her name known from coast to coast. Her rise has been rapid and in the line of work she has been fortunate that has made her name known from coast to coast. Her rise has been rapid and in the line of work she has been fortunate that has made her name known from coast to coast. She is a good business woman of much executive ability. She has been unaided by the college, and she has been nounced way. Your correspondent was glad to meet Mrs. Walker face to face. General Notes. Rev.

McCary is one of the strongest men in the送水terstayerian. He has been pastor two years and has a membership of about 45. He is a graduate of Howard University. Secretary Taylor, of the Y. M. C. A. in Indianapolis, Ind., was a visitor to the city last week. Mr. Taylor was direct from the training school in Harper, Mo. Organizer Moore is still in this section rounding up the Negro business men for the Business League in Boston. He is meeting with much success and it is felt that the Metropolis will send up a large delegation to this ses The news that has been sent out from Washington to the effect that Dr. L. B. Moore, the senior to receive, will will receive with much joy by the large number of loyal Howard men and women, especially those who have studied in his department. He will be the next port educational authority in the race, and hundreds of young men and women who are making a success as school teachers. Fear is felt for the Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, who for eighteen years has been the pastor of his church, called for Haiti last week, where he is to spend his vacation. Your correspondent will keep on a lookout for anything that will cause alarm for his safety. Booker will be in this session some time soon en route to Boston, the scene of the annual session of the Business League. The country is in a state of crisis, the educator's annual address.

Each lamp will have a rating of 2,500,000 candle power, or a date of September 5, 2007, at 5,700 feet long, or the length of the track will be used as a light reflector. Eight events will make up the racing card for Friday night and Saturday afternoon, in which stars of the motor world will contest.

There is little doubt but there has been too much competition and overlapping of the churches and its ministries against duplications of churches and institutions of learning and urged the necessity of centralizing efforts of all in the direction of a comprehensive secondary training for the ministry. This meeting urged the adoption of a common Hymn a common ritual and an appropriate liturgy for colored bodies have been invited when the Methodist Hymnal and catechism were made. And what impropriety be made to be have the church the bishops of the churches on the introductory pages just as the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Church, South, now appear? There is also a waste of men and means in Africa and it was the sense that we must be done to prevent duplication and overlapping of work in Africa. No discussion of the entire session was held, and the prevent immoral and unworthy ministers going from one church to another. There was no uncertain note along this line, and that of heavy co-operation one voice and that of heavy co-operation one voice. The joint meeting went on record favoring in future movements or plans for the Presidency gave the threat of a final meeting working towards final organic union of all Colored Methodists in America. The three distinct Colored Methodist churches have three branches for some time. No one is authorized to organically relate the Negro in the Methodist church any other body of Methodists now existing or to any other body that may come into existence by consolidation or otherwise. No one in the church has been authorized to speak for the Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal church in the Negro Methodist organic part of the Methodist Episcopal Church and when organic union is discussed, it must be discussed with this fact in view. -From The Southwestern Christian Advocate NEGRO BISHOP WAS BURNED IN EFFIGY Friends of Dr. W. T. Vernon Are Very Bitter Again. Alishop on the Hill Because he opposed the re-election of Dr. W. T. Vernon to the presidency of Campbell College, Bishop J. M. Connor, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at the Negro Methodist church on Pearl street last night. More than five hundred angry and excitable African Methodist leaders in a police squad was on hand, but no effort was made to interfere with the ceremony. Dr. Vernon has served as president of Campbell College for several years, he has as pastor of the Episcopal Church under President Cleveland's administration. The ceremony had several humorous aspects. The emby of Bishop Connor no doubt not only clad in a silk hat and frock coat. The figure was placed on the end of a pole, and, being carried around, through the church was on fire. Lengthy resolutions were adopted, denouncing Bishop Connor, and declaring that his hostility to Dr. Vernon was actuated by jealousy, spite and Nearly one hundred white people, attracted to the scene by the angry shouts and passionate speeches, Diamond Cox presided as chairman of the meeting, with A. J. Wade as secretary. The principal speaker was P. W. Howard, who wrote the resolutions denouncing Bishop Connor. Connor is unquestionably popular among the colored people of Jackson, and when the college board failed to re-elect him in 1972, the arrest and astonishment were caused, culminating in the mass meeting last night. One thing is quite certain regarding the affair. Bishop Connor may hold the office of 14 to 10 Bishop Connor appoints fifteen of the twenty-five members of the board of trustees, and his opponents declare that he stacked the board against him, not behind it, and over the preacher-members, who realized that they could not get good assignments next year unless they voted his wishes. The Resolutions. The resolutions adopted last night were framed by J. W. Howard, a well-known colored lawyer, and are as follows: Whereas, Dr. W. T. Vernon has come to campbell College and served this institution faithfully, efficiently and well, Whereas, Dr. Vernon has made sacrifices to come into the far Southland to render service among the rank and file of our students, to raise our sons and daughters and teach cluded in the new speed creations for next year. Automobile prices are finding new levels and the cars are every day coming within reach of many thousand people who have hereof been unaware to receive the makers have about reached the "last word" in car building, equipment and decoration, and before a new car is purchased, what all makers have to offer should be seen at the State Fair show, where the different makes, standing side by side, can be compared. them the straight and narrow path to righteousness and truth, and. Whereas, This community and the great state of Mississippi have been liberal erudition of this great educator and platform speaker of national reputation. Whereas, he has endured himself in the hearts of the people because of his Christian character and noble example together with wife, refinement and the most amiable wife; Whereas, There has grown up a spirit of jealousy on the part of Bishop Orton, the most important missions because of the great ability displayed by Dr. Vernon as a scholar, orator, educator and Christian minister. Whereas, It is the purpose of these parties to get rid of Dr. Vernon in order to keep him out of the general audience, and to make his hopes for episcopal honors; and. Whereas, The members of the A. M. church, the citizens of Jackson, with the help of the pastor as well as of Mississippi, feel sorely aggrieved because of the action of the said bishop in declaring the presidency of Campbell College vacant on the night of July 21. Therefore, be it that the action so taken by the bishop and board as vicious, unmanly, unchristianlike and foreign to the spirit of the founders of the school and church. Be it further. Resolved, That that we pledge ourselves to see to it that the race, the church leader stood as a bulwark of power and efficiency, may be apprised of the foul play imagined without rhyme or outrage, out of malice, malice, and malice. It be further Resolved, That it should be the spirit of this community to let these parties know that they are ever in bad odor and taste insofar as Mississippi is concerned, and Jackson is further Resolved, That it may of these resolutions be sent to the press of the country, the press of the church and the general conference of the A. M. E. Cox. This matter has caused a serious breach in the board of trustees, resulting in the resignation of the Cox of Indinola, Miss. who has been a delegate to several general conferences of the A. M. E. Church and who has been a delegate to the general conference of the school; the resignation of Diamond Cox, who is president of the Laymen's Movement of this church and delegate-elect to the general conference of the trustee board, and George W. Gilliam, of Clarksdale, Miss, the three most representative laymen connected with The Negroes were determined to express their protest, in spite of the efforts of Bishop Conner and the passions of the Negroes.

President Barclay tried hard to correct some of the evils in the management of our public financial agreement we too strong for him, and we have not been able to check the loose management of our public financial Much more valuable information is given, and especially when he cites the names of the newcomers as the Negro Americans who go who are called. He picturesquely affirms that no man should be allowed to "navel string" in the soil." His work is well worth preserving by those who wish to know the little republic. Liberian has every reason to succeed since it is so boundlessly surrounbed by the powerful and makeable communities that states empires. Why it does not is the question. Judge Stewart's article is corroborating evidence of the why. The publication is complete with interesting papers and topics which have been treated for their tasks. "The Centenary of Frederick Douglass, by John W. Crowwell is a first review of that eminent Newbern who proves in a class to himself even up until this day. Mr. Crowwell treated his subject from a new angle, reminding men who were higher up. "Manhood In the Making," by Gilbert H. Jones, the editor of Liberal Arts, Wilberforce University, is another valuable article. The well-known Prof. Kelly Miller, a contributor a poem, the Prince of Peace, a poet, and the Prince under the title of "Uncle Ned's School," gives an excerpt from a published magazine, "Black Books in American Sculpture," illustrated. The late Bishop H. M. Turner comes over to the odes and likeness of family groups. Other articles from the pen of good writers, editorials, poems and so forth, are published in the magazine, filled from cover to cover with the most reading matter. "The Kappa Alpha Psi Journal," the latest number of that society of young colored men at the University of Indiana, is published of the publication has been set out fully in the Freeman. The present number is in keeping with the one predeceased of E. W. Diggs, Alpha, grand polemarch—a whole page frontispiece of the University of Illinois, of Iowa, of Wilberforce are among the illustrations. Finer bodies of young Negroes in public publication has much to offer that is of interest to college men. It is no less than inspiration to those who are for the good of higher education. "A Story of the National Baptist Publishing, Board," a volume of 145 pages, contains a message from someone's institution. It is by R. H. Roy, D. D., L. L. D., secretary, with an appendix of three letters to those deals exhaustively with their subject, discussing every incident of importance in the history of the institution. The letter is a response of the concern until the present day when it has become the leading publishing house by the race. The result of buildings and equipment, the output of its literature speaks of the tremendous work that has been done. The letter describes less lesson reviews, as well as great executive ability. The volume seems to have answered completely those questions that question the integrity of the management. The current issue of the Southern Workman is, as usual, filled with good things.

BOTH England and Germany have made it plain to us that the present war game will not be according to Hoyle. And we might have known it. Such weather for August. But why complain? Not complaining—merely musing. The weather is all right for sleeping and working, but if it gets cold enough to stop vegetation from growing, then where are we? 'Can't it funny that the world is so finely adjusted—ball bearing. If things slow in one place it must be made good some other place—the law of compensation. Can't have fine sweet potatoes and tomatoes if August is cold. Mrs. Laura L. Turner, widow of the late Bishop H. M. Turher, writes to this paper saying: "I want to thank you for the splendid mention you have made in your paper of Bishop Turner, my deceased husband." We appreciate very much the words in recognition of our effort to pay tribute to her disinguished husband. No man struggled harder to make something of his people than he did. His death brought out the fact that he was not without witnesses. Dr. M. C. B. Mason, who was seriously ill at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, died at that institution Saturday, August 31. He was of great force, known through his efforts to receive an education, and by the places he occupied among his people, and in the M. E. church, of which he was a useful member. He stood with the few foremost men in the connection, and when the names of colored men were considered for bishop that of Dr. Mason was always among them. He was especially noted for his pulpit and platform eloquence. Burning in effigy is too much like the real thing to be commended regardless of the nature of a quarrel leading up to it. This thing occurred in Jackson, Miss., a week ago. Bishop J. M. Connor, of the A. M. E. church was burlesged because he saw fit to help in removing Dr. W| T. Vernon from the presidency of Campbell college. We are in no position to take sides in the matter. Whatever the issues or charges, burning in effigy should not have followed. White people have that monopoly, and it does not help us a bit to dissolve the trust. In fact white people have the patent and it should not be infringed on. Burning in effigy is at heart, burning a man—a spiritual mob, and just as venal as the one that permits its resolves to come to worked-out conclusions. THE COUNTRY PAYS. When a Negro is burned by a mob in this country foreigners who read of it at once form a "decided" opinion of the white people of this country, and which they frequently give give out when the question of the treatment of races comes up. Negroes of this country, when abroad, when discussing racial conditions with persons of those countries are generally informed that to this country alone, the right seems to be reserved to do the burdous thing of burning. Their comment does not carry with it the thought that Negroes in their midst would receive the same attention that white men receive, but they make it clear that to burn a person, no matter of what race, or what the crime, is unthinkable. And it is true as they state it, due to the state of the pubic mind. It can not conceive of anything, any crime, that would require burning, as the penalty. It would be unjust and very wrong to say that the American mind is prepared for such happenings in the sense that they are expected. Such is not the case. But the American mind has become indifferent owing to the frequency of the happenings, and, moreover, because it is not en rapport with the Negroes. To state it brutally and carelessly—it doesn't care what happens to the Negroes. The assertion is not altogether faithful to the condition, but it is so near the truth that it answers very well. A very few are responsible for such outrages, but the many must pay the penalty. And it must be paid, some way or another, even on this earth. And the pity of it is that those who commit the deed will never know that it must be paid for. A nation will not maintain an attitude of uprightness, as much as it prates about it, if its deeds are otherwise. Our country is formidable in many ways, it is very rich; the chances for success in life are perhaps better than elsewhere, but we are already being sneered at as hypocrites, domineering, conceited, puffed up, the new rich and so forth. The attitude to the Negro has become an international taunt. The minister from Turkey got mad and told us a few things, at which he was walked. What he said, others think when they get mad. This is paying the price. It is but one way. There are other ways. When an individual of this country is "laid on" because of his race, the general Carrers no strength from the fact. Suppose war should come? Every man of us would be needed. Burnings dampen patriotic fervor. The Russian army would be more efficient if the state was not so indifferent to its common men. Germany has always valued every citizen. But what do mobs care about all of this? If a man fights he wishes to feel that he is fighting for a sure-enough home. If a man is fighting for a sure-enough home he may be hounded at any moment. The mob will never see the point, but the country pays just the same. TO BOSTON. A nation-wide movement is said to be underway, the object being to carry to Boston the largest number of the Negro business men and women ever brought together. Fifteen years ago the league came into existence in this city, Boston, where the fifteenth anniversary will be fittingly celebrated. The meeting will be held in the commodious convention hall, which is well suited for great gatherings of the kind. The local league of Boston is busy making arrangements to receive the delegates and visitors in a manner in keeping with the occasion. Boston is known for its cultured sets and general prosperity. It knows how to make things pleasant for visitors, and it is able to pay the bills. This means much for the visitors, this fifteenth anniversary, when the citizens will be at their best. Arrangements have already been made with the railroad companies in the various sections for rates. "The Colored Citizen," a Boston publication, recently had the following in the interest of the forthcoming meeting: "The arrangement at present is that the delegates living in the Southeastern territory shall assemble at Atlanta, Georgia, from which point the National Negro Business League special train will start. Delegates from Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina are especially urged to arrange to join this separate engine, baggage car, dining car and all Pullman cars. Delegates living in Florida are especially used to communicate at once with Mr. Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, 122 Broad street, Jacksonville, Florida. "Alabama delegates are asked to communicate at once with Mr. E. T. Attwell, president of the Alabama State Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. "Dr. George C. Hall, a member of the Executive Committee of the National Organization, 3208 South Park avenue, Chicago, Illinois, and William D. Neighbors, a life member of the National Organization, 3241 Vernon Avenue, are formulating plans for a Business League special train to start from Chicago to live in the convenience of the delegates living in the vicinity of St. Louis. Chicago and all the western territory, including points in Kentucky and Illinois. Arrangements will be made for delegates to stop off at Buffalo and Niagara Falls for a sightseeing tour. "It is especially desired that the delegates should notify the gentlemen in the states named as early as possible as to their intentions so that reservations may be made for them in Pullman cars which are being provided for the accommodation of the several state delegations." CIVIL RIGHTS IN IOWA. The Desmoines (Ia.) Register and Ledger, of June 8, had this to say of the city council: "The city council practically agreed at its meeting yesterday that it would be useless to pass ordinances designed to prevent discrimination against Negroes in public places and to suppress the sale of cigarettes. "Eskil Carlson, city solicitor, presented an opinion to the council in which he expressed the belief that the passage of an ordinance to prevent infringement of civil rights would be held in compliance because it would necessarily have to provide a lesser degree and therefore would be reducing the dignity of an offense held more serious by the state." This is of interest generally, and to Negroes especially, since it shows the trend of public sentiment and legislation. This recalls the comment of this publication concerning the newly-made civil rights laws of the state of Pennsylvania. We made the assertion that there were laws which cared for all infringement of civil rights, but they were not enforced. We also said that there is no downright necessity for new laws, but a downright necessity for the enforcement of existing laws. The Pittsburgh Courier seemed to think there was a weak place in the argument, because special laws are thought to get better results, because they are special. Our object was to ward the notion of greater citizenship, getting away from the narrow necessities, joining the great sea of things as it still did, that we feel not as much as citizens, propped and stayed, and without which we pass of the affairs of men. That is the desire, and if the already written laws were in force we would not need this extra protection. Section 1 of Article XIV of the amendments to the constitutions cares for us. It says: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." If one is inclined to debate this section, holding that individual discrimination is not of the laws, then he is referred to Section 2 of Article IV of the unamended portion and which says: "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states." The enforcement of this all that is needed. How this may be done, it will be admitted, comes in for consideration, unless the states cover the point in their general laws, which thing, we think, most states do, if not all of our. Our race falls not outside of the general protection to citizens, whether this protection be expressed or understood. We mean to say, that whatever rule, law or conduct conserve the civil rights of white persons, also conserve our civil rights, thus making the need of civil rights laws for our race especially unnecessary. The constitution enjoins that the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states. Perhaps we should have limited the assertion of no necessity for special laws to, no downright need of special laws made to serve a special race. This had in mind the thought that each state has some kind of laws which back up the constitutional injunction referred to in Section 2 of Article IV of the unamended portion of the constitution. Such being the case, our status, or should be status, is with the other citizens. It may be that some states have failed to penalize that injunction, thus giving the necessity of imposing fines for its infraction and which is the best thing to a downright necessity of special laws. Theoretically, the penalty for the infraction is only assessed by the states, and which do no more than specialize or classify offenses in order to mete out proper punishment. Thus speaking of Iowa, Mr. Carlson says: "The subject of infringement of civil rights is regulated by section 5008 of the code, and a violation of that section is a misdemeanor which is punishable under the provisions of section 4906 of the code, which provides for an imprisonment in the county jail of not more than one year or by fine not exceeding $500, or by both fine and imprisonment." We take that every state has some such general laws based on the general constitution, or the citizens would not be safeguarded in their rights. As we understand it, these are no special laws but comprehensive, and, perhaps, as old as the constitution of Iowa. The special laws are what was the effort in council, and which are not necessary because there are general state laws, conserving the rights of every citizen. We have insisted that the enforcement the necessity, and not with the intent of opposing laws that help us. Any laws that help us to our end are right laws. We follow the fact that we find it necessary to think of special laws and thus become conscious of the humiliating brand of undesirable. Y. M. C. A.'S. Although the Kansas City Association has been in its building less than eight months, it now stands fourth with the membership list of associations now in modern buildings. The following table gives the time in the buildings and the membership standing of these associations: | | | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Philadelphia | 1,031 | 1 yr. 8 mo. | | Washington | 1,014 | 3 yr. 2 mo. | | Philadelphia | 650 | 2 yr. | | Kansas City | 603 | 2 yr. 8 mo. | | Chicago | 585 | 2 yr. 8 mo. | We present the table of figures because it gives some insight to the Y. M. C. A. work among the colored people in larger cities. Kansas City can well be proud of its record, standing fourth in membership notwithstanding the association has only been in existence eight months. That city has the smallest population of those mentioned from which to draw. Indianapolis is a good second to Kansas City, everything considered. Chicago has a splendid building, but it falls down lamentably in the Y. M. C. A. effort. This is due, perhaps, to the prosperity there. Home conveniences have some influence on the possible membership of associations. Chicago has long since been noted for its flat life, which somehow seems to call for superior living conditions. The Y. M. C. A., we take it, can not offer the same inducements there as it offers in some other places. This is aside from the Christian phase as a religion, which all cities stand equally in need. This phase, however, is but an incident as an attraction, but, of course, giving the institution its tone and quality, since good morals is with the substructure of Christianity, if not the better part of it. But religion as a drawing card is the same one place as another, so the growth of associations, it appears, will be more rapid wherever they can most ably be supplement to the home. Were not so sure that we are right in our conclusion, since we are not familiar enough with the work to speak with assurance. It would be interesting to hear from secretaries as to the causes of varying memberships. There is a reason why Chicago has only 885 members with its very large colored population. There is a reason why New York is almost a Y. M. C. A. nonentity. The white associations are everywhere and with buildings and membership in accord with the localities. Our race is rather new in the business, so that even tenor of things will not be known to our race for many years. But where we do have them, and where there is no inconvenience in reaching them, it is worth while to get an inventory of the causes of differences in membership as a thing of Y. M. C. A. sociology. SEGREGATION. Editor of The Freeman: Your issue of July 24, 1915, contains an editorial with which I disagree so radically that I am constrained to write a word in opposition. Speaking of segregation you say: "As a fact it is advantageous in instances, and were it not for the probably hurtful results it would not be opposed by the Negroes." This statement could arise only from a misapprehension of the facts or a misuse of language. The volunteer grouping of people is not segregation. The verb segregate as used in the current agitation is an active transitive verb which connotes no volition whatever on the part of the segregated. The segregator is the active agent who looks the entire field over, selects what he wants and says what the other fellow, the segregate, may have. In other words, it is the spirit of slavery seeking incarnation in the body of democracy. Have any of the advocates of segregation proposed appointing a mixed commission to determine what sections shall be white and what sections shall be colored? No! In every instance certain white people assume to prescribe the metes and bounds of all Negroes. From segregation saying where we shall not go to slavery, saying where we shall go, is only a step, and a short step at that. It is evil through and through. I oppose segregation not only because of the inconveniences and handicaps it brings, but because it is in its very essence wrong, unjust and subversive of true democracy. There is nothing a man can give in exchange for his liberty but slavery. He that accepts serfdom to obtain the potage of peace shall be denied the craven's boon for which he bartered all. In a country like ours there is no middle ground between cities and villages. Our segregation are reactionaries seeking to re-establish slavery by law. It still exists in practice in some localities. To compromise with this spirit is to compound the evils of our situation. God Help Us! C. V. ROMAN. The Freeman editorial was written as a summary of what might have been a long reply to a lengthy article by a white gentleman in a Los Angeles publication. The gentleman was very friendly in what he had to say, and from surface indication had the kindiest intent. It was proper, we think, to reply to him in kind, however, without sacrificing an iota of our contention. This we did when saying, "As a fact it is advantageous in instances, and were it not for the probably hurtful results it would have been, he offered a mildish appearing proposition, in our opinion, is just as strong as if it were written in much different language. We do not see how the proposition could be improved and still cover the existing conditions and those hoped for. Segregation is segregation; not necessary a thing of force. Our people are practically segregated in every city where they are found in large numbers. They segregate voluntarily. They get together of their own accord. Any living things can segregate, voluntarily, of their own volition, as most birds and beasts do. The dictionary states very plainly what the word means, and the fact that it is a transitive verb does not disturb the sense in which it is used. It is yet an active, transitive verb when it one of the things do the thing to ourselves. There is no difference between "John struck James" and "John struck John," when the John is no other than the one that struck James. That is, we can segregate ourselves; we can be segregated by others. In discussing the question we had the two views in mind; and we think the white gentleman had also the two views in mind. He was trying to show the good that could come of living as a race unit. He showed what we all must admit, that great good has followed this voluntary segregation. He thought we could do even more, especially in a political way. Segregation is only to be abhorred when it is enforced. Most of the humbler races have found it convenient to flock together, but none of them would like to feel that there was compulsion in the matter. The Negroes, immediately after the war, found it absolutely necessary to live in communities of their own kind. They were as hopeless as imbeciles, living in a maze of beowonderment as that new found situation of "Alice in Wonderland." A few men guided, mainly the Negro preachers, and on whom the "societies" depended wholly for direction in matters. This condition remained relatively in some partitions, in others not so rapacious. A precedent was established, this voluntary segregation, which has made it very easy for white persons to think the thing should be perpetuated. This was our unconscious contribution to the fetters at which we now chase. The later generations of white people finding us in these self-corraled conditions took on the feeling that that's where we belonged, and whether the law says segregate or not, the order is in force, and everywhere the tendency is to district Negroes. When the districting is not actively done is is done in other ways. White people withdraw from our midst, good homes are not rented or sold to colored persons. If good homes are sold the Negro occupants are often so harassed that they find it necessary to retreat to their "own" lines. This is not news. Nor is it necessary to rehearse it. But we wish to establish the point that segregation is not necessarily an act of law. In passing we may as well venture the comment that in our exclusiveness we have not developed certain traits that made for assimilation -affiliation. The race, of course, is not wholly to blame. It has been met with an outward pressure which in a large measure shaped its political and social fortunes. The progressives of the race are held back owing to the opinion gained of our masses. We are all bunched; we are Negroes, and that's the banner which is eternally assailed. Getting back to the subject we restate the proposition that segregation is advantageous in instances, and were it not for the probable hurtful results it would not be opposed by the Negroes. This had in mind segregation without qualifications. To deny that it has not been of some benefit, would be denying a truth so plain and simple that it would be astonishing. And when we say, "were it not for the probable hurtful effects," the situation is made whole. We might go so far as to say that even if the thing of segregation were compelled by legislatures it would be of more harm by way of a menace to the general liberties of the race than that arising from the fact of concentration. We have no right to feel humbled because we live together, and yet this element unfortunately enters. We have the right to feel humbled when the act of throwing us together is meant to degrade the race—this one act would easily lead to something similar, and in time our liberties would be completely stolen. This is the probable hurful results. The Nashville gentleman will understand that phases of a question may be discussed without seriously involving the whole question. The question was the possible good of segregation, and not enforced segregation justified. Just think of it! How easy you can make times pick up if you advertise in The Freeman.

He has always shown interest in the subject and from what I have been able to learn, not a candidate has more loyal friends among our peers than any man, yet he can always find the time to have a word with those who call him upon him. He is also in his dealings. As an attorney he has been a success from the start. He graduated from the Ohio State University, and made a splendid record as a student.

He was a director for the city, and everybody knows what a clean and satisfactory official he has proved to be in that position. He can say one toughass against his character, one highass against his every respect. Unlike many candidates in various parts of the country, Mr. Simpson's record is very good. Very rarely, Simpson has a rare opportunity to select a man for mayor who is bound to reflect credit for the city. He was born in Lima, a thoroughbred Republican, and he has always fought for the principles of the party. He was born in a poor county, where he learned the great lesson of life—"Do unto others as you would to others." He did that without doubt that no one on the ticket has a better chance to be nominated than Mr. Simpson, and if he is nominated, he will be one of the best Lima has ever had. M. CASS L.

This is one of the greatest educational forces at the Indiana Fair, and is one of many educational features that the exposition always offers to the tillers of the soil, breeders and fruit growers of the state. The Purdue exhibit is being actively pro­ pounded by the com­ munity Fair and it, as well as the instruction, will keep pace with the advancing interests of people from the farms. The Purdue dairy exhibit, demonstrations and discussions will make this kind of instruction of still more benefit to men and women from the farms who come to the Fair. The Purdue chemists will instruct the farmers in the sale of feeding stuffs and fertilizers, as the new state law requires, and an extensive exhibit of fertilizers will be shown. Soil and crop improvement, rotation of crops, farm drainage, cultivation, and many more subjects will be treated by the Purdue men. Fighting hog cholera, garden and orchard pests, poultry raising, and other lines of farming will be discussed, and the Purdue instruction available. The Purdue instruction and exhibits will, in fact, make short cuts to scientific farming that every farm man and woman may go home from the Fair with new ideas. The State Food Commissioner will have a unique display showing weights and measures of legal and illegal kind, sanitation in keeping foods, fraudulent medicines and drugs.

Under new plans of the fair-management, no exhibits made by other than Indiana women can be shown, and any woman who is skilled in needlework, with brush or camera, can compete for the prizes. In the fine art division there are eleven departments, each of which will overflow with the clever work of Indiana women - crochet and knitted work, hand made lace and embroidery, hand sewing, fancy work, photography, craftsmanship in wood, leather and brass, paintings and drawings. One of the great features of the art department will be the lavish display of china painting, showing in what directions the up-to-date artists of Indiana are turning their talent this year, with all that is new in designs and colorings.

The first evidence the public will have of what the county farm agents of Indiana have been doing since they began work about two years ago will be at the coming State Fair, which opens Sept. 6, when the agents from most of the counties will put on exhibits of their farm products in the largest open pavilion on the fair grounds. The Studebaker pavilion, near the Fine Arts and Horticulture halls, will be entirely occupied by these county displays, and from the demands for space from the county agents the place will hardly be large enough for their exhibits. This promises to be the greatest expedition of Indiana farm resources ever held, and be in addition to the regular displays shown in the Agricultural building. The county agents have along many lines helped Indiana farms to a higher standard of cultivation, and they will bring together at the coming Fair the evidence of the advanced work the Hoosier farmers are now doing.

Jackson is marching in triumph toward the Zion Bishopric. It will pay you to keep a sharp eye on a fellow who speaks glibly and who promises lavishy. Counselleur T. Gillis Nutter, of Charleston, W. Va., will succeed himself as Grand Chief Ruler of the Order of Elks, Mark that! Richard Theodore Greener's great wife, the Republic States Consult at Vladivostok, Russia, forms one of the truly brilliant pages of American diplomacy. Many a worthy woman has snagged her toe trying to mount the rocky path. The baule is not what it is cracked up to be, as they all find out in time. Since the Oklahoma-Maryland decision, putting the "grandfather clauses" to sleep, the United States Supreme Court of the United States as the "greatest tribunal on earth." Right! Giles B. Jackson has at least one thing to his credit—a distinction that no one will have the slightest desire to rob him of. He has made single-layer compositions of the most complete exposition failure on record. What sensible man or organization made a wise merely for the sake of change? One good term deserves another. The Elks will re-elect Mr. Nutter Grant and will starve at Chicago the last week in August. Somebody has said, with undeniable death who is able or willing to turn over a spadeful of dirt and raise a crop. The harvest waits upon the husbandman. No favorites—knows no color line. Organizer Charles H. Moore, of the Nuttergro Business League, is accepting a few banquets, but they do not seem to impair his usefulness as they did his illustrious predecessor, John W. McCormick, organizing local leagues and reviving those that need a touch of the vital spark. Melvin J. Chism, president of the National Negro Press Association, formerly located in Baltimore has transferred to Oklahoma City, OK. The Tribune has a healthy appearance and bids fair to live to a ripe old age in the soil to which it has been transplanted. The Richmond flasco was not even as big as a "county fair"—the kind of a show it is meant to be. The Richmond fair shows Jeeves cows, blooded horses, fat pigs and hogs, and farm products galore. The Richmond show did not have even a jack rabbit nor a cur dog on exhibition as "live stock." There is absolutely no merit to the so-called and amused to the reckless of Grand Exalted Ruler to a third term as the official head of the Elks. As a business institution, the order is anxious to retain the man who has been the chief critical moment in its career, not to confer a political spoil. The Newport News (Va.) Star is one of the few papers of the race that had the courage and cando to expose "the fixation" flasco at Richmond. Fakirs have a hard time putting anything keen-visioned business manager, Miss Blanche L. Johnson. There must be something radically wrong about a man who finds it necessary to have his newspaper friends make weekly defenses of his person and official record, and to constantly call attention to the fact that he is a great man, will speak for them when he lets alone. An "exposition" of less than county fair proportions does not correctly reflect the progress our 10,000,000 people have made in the past fifty years. The reason it does not stand colored properly it does not "stand colored" in inadequate and ineffective Richmond "side-show." The white people who "tell the concern just didn't know any better. "Interlopers" help to build up a town communities stagnate unless they receive constant infusion of new biochemistry, which they believe most ardently in its forward possibilities. The "old cits" know too much about one another for their own the "community's good." Hah for the "interlopers" who comes to spread a gospel of hope! "Powder-Making as a Fine Art" will probably not be one of the subjects discussed from first-hand authority at the Boston meeting of the National Association for the Study of Submarine Warfare is another topic not likely to have a place on the program. The colored man is shamelessly exploiting some of the reigning Industries of the times. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley is wasting a lot of valuable time balancing work and daily at the soda water fountains of the country. He says the aforesaid female drinks of doubtful purity and made of analyzed that would startle them if analyzed carefully. Methinks the good health authority to thrive, the good health authority to the contrary notwithstanding. According to Booker T. Washington, the Negro moved around too much to take the proper root in the South, in which "seniority" in place counts for a great deal. People seem to have confidence in a man who stays long, a singer who guarantees that it indicates stability on the part of the individual and that he has given satisfaction. There is a man who is the fellow who is here today and gone tomorrow. Don't travel so much, colored man, if you would prosper as you should. Two sets of white ladies hailing from Louisiana and Mississippi and the South, who are the Seminary, New Orleans, indulged in formal prize fights in the gymnasium of their alma mater the other day, to meet their physical superiority. About the same time the Governor of Mississippi, in a joint deference with the well-known commonwealth, indicated to the latter that if he repeated a certain ugly charge, the Governor would have to wear ear. Thus doth the cause of civilization stalk proudly through the Southland! That literary genius—the poet lau THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER THE STADIUM Miss Ruth Law, the most daring woman aviator in the world, will give daily dashes into the sky at the Indiana State fair the week of Sept. 6. She will fly a Wright biplane of the most recent type and will carry a passenger who will each trip make a sensational parachute plunge to the earth from a height of 2,000 feet. Miss Law is one of two women who holds a license from the Aero Club of America. Her biplane measures 40 feet from tip to tip. The feminine flyer performs many thrilling features while in the air. It is common for the biplane to move at 70 or 80 miles an hour and to take head-formost plunges of 2,000 feet, with a speed toward the earth at tremendous speed. A spiral coast is another of her aerial achievements. With the machine as lifeless as a dead hawk, without an engine turning, Miss Law coasts from . . . The colored people of this country would have had an exposition that would have been worth while had the national Negro Business League gone through Congress in 1909-10. In the form suggested by Dr. Booker, the government lost largely in the incompetence and vespocket methods of the narrow-gauged individuals who made the "Wizard" believe that the government satisfied favority. The later expositions have been, for the most part, local affairs. The Washington idea was "naive" and boastful sense. The mis management of the plan was little short of a crime. There is absolutely no merit to the so-called antagonism to the re-elect-ment of the Nutter to a third term as the official head of the Elks. As a business corporation, the order is anxious to re-elect the Nutter at a critical moment of its career. Its concern is more to serve the Nutter, appreciative though they may be of his personal character and genial disposition. The Elks are looking for a new Mr. Nutter, regardless of the number of the term, because he has "delivered the goods" in the past and they are what he keeps up the good work in the future. We rather like the new magazine form of the Tuskegee Student. It is building with the modern idea of a school journal and reduced size of the pages without any loss in the amount of reading matter furnished. The Student has been published for twenty-seven years and grows better every year, both in literary reality and neatness of typography. Itational and business life of the race second to none in the country. Associated with it is Albon L. Holsey, who is known far and wide as a newspaper man of marked ability and ample experience. The well-known newspaper man, Horace D. Slatter, who in recent months has made his headquarters at the University of Chicago, is intimately linked with tuberculosis. A number of friends, headed by Dr. U. G. Mason, are raising a fund to enable him to go to Colorado, with a hope of prolonging his life. The fund has reportedly been ported to be suffering from the same malady and arrangements will probably be made to have her accompany her husband to the hospital to be sent to Mr. Slatter at 1115 East street, Birmingham, Ala., will be gratefully acknowledged. He has rendered the race great service through his excellent press work on a series of the white dailies of the Southland. --- Colored reporters for white newspapers are a boon to the race. Every first-class daily in the city should employ a colored man to chronicle the events of particular interest to their colored patrons. The colored writer can more readily represent the events of his own people than is possible to the cleverest white man, and he knows that his stories draw in the communities in which they live and have their being. As a case in point, the colored writers would never have "fallen" in the eyes of the cream of the Caucasian writers did. The latter knew not of what they wrote. There should be a general and persistent demand for colored meetings for the white dailies. We thank the Editor W. H. Steward, of the American Baptist, for calling our attention to the omission of Louisville from our list of the city's most prominent business leagues. In noting that high in the sky with a sort of corkscrew glide until she nears the earth She possesses all the qualifications needed by an aviator—courage, will power, muscular strength and quickness of mind. She makes the mechanical repairs needed by her biplane and when in the air she is not strapped to the steering seat. Her flights are spectacular, rather than sensational, the machine, under her skillful guidance performing like a huge eagle. George Maryland, who makes the parachute plunges, is equally capable, selecting the spot on the ground where he desires to alight before making the leap. His is a hazardous undertaking, and more thrilling in the start than in its conclusion. His Law will rise 4,000 or more feet above the State Fault, and her machine operates as well in the rain as in sunny skies. Her performances will be one of the dominating features of the week. New York City has the seat of the sessions of 1905 and 1910, our mind went on to the sessions of 1914, and we hasthe entertainers of the League for the intervening years. In this way, in 1906, 1909, 1910, 1914, 1918, 1920, 1924, 1928, 1932. In these cities some of the most profitable sessions of the League were recorded. In 1909, the accord shows their people to be who he is progressive and public-spirited. Editor Steward, as a watchman on the streets of Louisville, might have added, too, that it was at Louisville in 1909 that the National Negro Business League, the most vital of the auxiliaries of the National Negro Business League, was ushered into existence. Editor Steward seen one of its most helpful members. JABS FROM A JESTER'S PEN. **WORKS** Can a dark-haired woman be considered one of the fair sex? Can a good-looking woman be a plain cook? Would it be proper to call musk and verbena common scents? Would it be right to speak of the wages of baby's nurse as hush money? Is stealing a march any worse than taking a walk? If the world is round, how can it come to an end? **A Jester's Advice.** No woman should marry a man so tall that she can not reach his hair. Never laugh at a man with a pug nose. One never knows what may turn up. The way to serve a dinner properly is to eat it. Never kick a man when he is down unless you are sure that he can not get up again. When your husband—or wife—has no mind of his—or her own it rarely helps matters to give him—or her—a picture of what matters. This matter of maintaining strict neutrality has its difficulties at times. THE FREEMAN'S LIST OF THE BEST REPRESENTATIVE FIRMS IN THE UNITED STATES THE NEGRO SHOULD PATRONIZE.

The game played at Indianapolis, Sunday, July 18, and was forfeited to the Indianapolis, Ind. team that digged graceful climax to a great eight inning happened in this way—in the made made when the Indianapolis started their last half of the eight inning, the bases were full, and no one out—the game was interrupted at the end of the inning. The ground had not been sprinkled, the dust blow at such a rate, the umbrella set the outfielders. During this time, the management of the Indianapolis club got a host of players and did sprinkle the ball and did sprinkle the third base and second ANDREW R Manager American C The humiliation of the man wh at Indianapolis. Is held high in th over the world by both white and c H told me that it made no difference, he was not going to have the game delay at our longer. (Remember it was not at our longer.) He was told to either make us play or forfeit the game. I reasoned that him, pleading to him that there were so many stakes on the result of the game, how fair it would be to all, to permit the game to be played, to give the game not in condition to play—10 minutes—he could, as the rules rested, play the game back to even innings and the tie draw. He was again told by the owner to make us play, and getting angry, he forced in the tying run and feited the game to the Indianapolis club. I came so suddenly and unexcited, how horrible he had founded, and any more familiar with professional ball would have done as did, and Pete Hill, captain of the team, had done, and his haste was so mistaken by the followers of A. B. C's players and fans rushed on the field, and he was hit or hurt. The disgrace of the entire trouble was in the Offeer Fiemming, who drew his pistol on one of the players. He was not what the management UGE FOSTER, Giants Base Ball Club. He is responsible for a good ball club estimation of the base ball public all colored. of the Indianapolis club wanted so much, and I will prove it later on in you to judge just who was responsible for this disgrace. Granting that we had deliberately and hastily done it, and has often been done by the greatest managers in baseball, and it certainly was not for once in our lives we received at Indianapolis. All that saw the game will agree that all during the game, not for once in our lives, we did not demonstrate, either by acts or words, but started directly to our manager, who was not there, the most disgraceful scene I have ever witnessed; officers, who were supra manager signed a contract, to give the American Giants police protection, saw these officers of peace and protection, drew guns and threatened to shoot those that were to protect. There Is Crime There is a Reward. On Monday July 18, I received the most complete submission, both for my ball club and myself. It was the beginning of the third inning. We had to be careful, but I started out to the coaches BRAINY BOWERS A policeman can not come upon a ball field unless asked to do so by the umpire, opposing the boss requested by the owner, or manager. In this case there was neither an argument, if ignorant, nor displeasure, then_or during the game. There can be but one answer to it. The owner—or the boss—had instructed them to do so, for no officer could, or would go on the ball field, unless they had resisted arrest, for some deed committed, unless they were at fault, in any way, as sors as they were, it does seem reasonable why we were not arrested—yet no one was The incident was more painful to me than to any that saw or read it; it was a fort to advance and promote baseball among our people, and I can forgive them. I was fort to advance and promote baseball been said, knowing that they had been said before you had a chance to learn the facts, and you can rest assured that you not to miss the present, would not miss the future. A little thing to hurt baseball, or stoop low enough to permit, or stand to see any American Giants were at Indianapolis—whether they were right or wrong, whether they were public, players or police to come on our grounds, and beat, abuse, or humiliate the Indianapolis ball club. Hoping that you will meet with your approval, I am. Yours Oren ANDREW (GUBE) POSTER, Manager American Giants Baseball WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT.

BOSTON, July 28 — Milburn Saylor gained a decision over Joe Azevedo here and was able to win the twelve-round battle. The fight was staged at the Atlas A. A. and the large crowd that saw the bout was highly pleased at the performance of the pugs. ability, he was unable to hurt the lanky Hoosier. His best punch was a short jab to the left, tearing it. Saylor's hand was to bore in with both hands working like pistons to his left and right for the California head. In the ninth round Saylor landed some terrific punches and sent Saylor to his left, making a game stand, but Saylor was too strong for him. Saylor had seven rounds, Azevedo two, and three were even. SAN FRANCISCO Cal.-The far-right championship of the Amateur Athletic Union played in Panama-Pacific Exposition Stadium July 30. Prediliminary heats were run in all 13 games, and the winner being by Ted Johnson, of Denver, in 1:13:05 1:5. R. H. Lee, of San Francisco, was the winner, associations of the A. A.

BOB THOMPSON EARNED $100,000 NOW WORKING WITH WEETS JOE, LOS ANGELES Bob Thompson, little less than a score of years ago considered one of the best in the country, another illustration of too much money coming too fast. Thompson is now cleaning streets in Los Angeles. Thompson earned $100,000 in the course. Now, at the age of 26 he has nothing but a good clean record left of his career. With the possible exception of Sam Langford he was the most popular Negro bob hitter. While he was never a champion, it took a champion to beat him. He met most of the good lightweights and welters, but he was the only two men who ever beat Jack Johnson. The other was Joe Choynsky. He fought 130 times, experiencing defeat eight times and boxing seven draws. He also played Young Peter Jackson in seven rounds. SPRUDELS FORFEIT GAME BRAZIL, Ind.—The baseball game between the Brazil Eagles and the French team was to the former by the forfeit route when the forfeit tied up in the tenth inning 2 to 2. Brazil led until the ninth, when a wild heave from the shortstop, won one score. Brazil had had a 1-0 lead in the tenth, but the Sprude manager, questioning a decision of Umpire Daugherty, called his players from the field. They were booked to pay following day.

McParkland's end will be $17,500. He will meet his training and $12,500 the night he飞奔. Efforts have been made at different tables to promote a promoter in the country to get this bout ALL PLAYERS HAVE STRANGE ALIBIS WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED NEW YORK, July 29 — Little sympathy has been felt among the hard working who have been the subject to war for violation of training rules. There have been more cases of such suspensions than for several years past. I think the break-in of the school building, the belief by players that they held contracts that would stand any test, and that a pay day could not be without them, has been the subject to war for base their opinions on common sense. This condition works against the ball player when an opponent is on the field, the employee, or the salary. The fact that a few players have broken training has hurt the other men and the players are a great many because so much space is devoted in the newspapers to the suspension. Suspension has surprised many of the boys who thought their contracts insured against this. Now that they have discovered that they cannot pay the cation without pay, I think it will be found that more of them are paying at the managers on the day of training. The general move on the season. All players have strange alibis when they get fined or suspended. McGraw has found it necessary to suspend the letter baseball all around, and that was Larry McLean, and that was Larry McLean, and that posed cast iron contract had nothing to do with it, made a big mistake by his actions, and that was the most fraught league with the regular release clause in good, and McLean might have been one of the players in the game if he wished himself right out of baseball for good, and McLean might have been one of the players in the game if he had behaved right. From the fact he is having trouble getting even pickup and these games are the last graft of a ball player. "When I was in the game actively and hustling ever yday," he says, "I had to have my sleep, and that goes for you feel better. I was old as an am, you may stay un forever, if you want." However, to return to the Chicago in- neighbor as I can get it, he was attending one of those "round table" parties, at which he took other boys on the club were present, but then he went back to than their companion and were not caught. As a matter of fact, his claim is that he was the one who got in to the Then he got to figuring that the other boy might get in bad when his room was full. He went out to round up the best and bring them back. They all got in safely except the hero, and McGraw got him. He inked $100," said Mac. And the player was. "I had to take it," declared this member of the team, "or tip off the rest of the game." I couldn't tell him I had come home and gone to bed and then gone out again to bring back the gang. So it cost me $100." I used with McGraw, but he used it with the rest of the players. However, he is the sort of a man who would do just this, and he would never over up the others, and I believe his story. Bugs Raymond had more alibis when he was with the club than a criminal dead now, and I guess we had better not go over his excuses.—Chrisy Mathewson. CHICAGO—Arrangements have been completed for a meeting at Cleveland, O. on August 21 and 22 for the formation of an association to control boxing all over the country, and this session has been taken by Tom Andrews, of Milwaukee, who believes most of the promoters of the country will attend this session under the sport can be conducted. Andrews has issued a circular in which he says he has had reports from nearly all the players, and every one has promised to send a representative. He has been in communication with clubs in Europe and Australia, and he has been in a favor of the organization and will co-operate with an American branch. NEW YORK—Tom Cowler, the 200-pound protege of Gentleman Jim Corbett, weighed heavyweight to be reckoned with. July 28, Cowler took a nasty licking from Gunbette A. C., but the big novice weathered the storms and came back for more each time. The retainer, in either punch, that the gunner used in either manner to have no effect on Cowler. "Wait t I tell him some more boxing," he said today, "and he'll be ready for 'em all." BILL THOMPSON, THE CUBAN CATCHER, HITTING HARD IN MERRIMAC VALLEY LEAGUE. CONCORD, N.

International Christian Endeavor Society, Chicago, Ill., July 7-15. Dean Miller, of Howard University says: "The adjustment of the forward and backward of mankind is without doubt the most urgent problem that presses upon the 20th century for solution. The range of this problem is enormous. The church, the ment or hemisphere, its area is as wide as the habitable globe." I quite agree with him that the work of the Christ-center church is the permanent establishment of the doctrine of the brotherhood of man. This is the meaning of all our labor agitation. The activity of the church is the permanent deed all parts of Africa and the struggle will not cease until the recognition of the brotherhood of man shall have become an accomplice for the Human Family. It is pretty generally admitted in and without of scientific circles that "God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the factions." There is not the slightest difference under the microscope between the blood of a Chinaman, Japanese, Negro and African, the blood of a man, the blood thing as blue blood, patrician blood and royal blood as distinguished from red common or plebian blood. We are all from the same stock whether white, black, red or blue. Color is the result of climatic conditions and not the flat at the beginning of the year. The differences between the various races of men as to formation of skull, long or broad heads, size of their ears, color of their skin or projecting teeth, all have sprung from the one stock. St. Paul's assertion that God hath given men to dwell upon the face of the earth, holds good. With the same blood, there should be equality of oppression and equality of privileges and rights. The Cause of Race Prejudice. God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit in carrying forward the civilization to lead in the development of misunderstanding their call and His purpose in selecting them for leadership and looked with contempt upon those who were not so well favored, hence vanity is really the cause of race prejudice and inordinate pride is the root of it. "It has so happened that in the process of human development that the pressures of mankind present between the human family, while the darker varieties are relatively more developed, are a positive concrete superiority of the European is due to the advantage of historical environment rather than to intimate endowment, a careful management of the social leaves little room to doubt of this fact. Temporary superiority of this or that environment is the phase of human development. In the history of civilization the various races and nations rise and fall like the waves of sea, each imparting an impulse of life to the process further and further forward. Civilization is not an original process with any race or nations known to the torch is passed from age to age, and it goes. Those who for the time being stand at the apex of prestige and power are ever prone to indulge in such boasting and claim everlasting superiority of the "lesser breed." Nothing less can be expected of human vanity and pride in the unglorious boasting of national and racial conceit. Where are the Babylonians, the Assyrians and the Egyptians in the history over face of the earth? In the history over face of the races, they are "one with Nineveh and Tyre." The lordly Greeks who have achieved the achievements of the mind, who gave the World Homer and Socrates and Phidias in the heyday of their glory have so sunken the scale of excellence that to use the mind they have degenerated into timid slaves, and their language into barbarous jargon. On the other hand the barbarians not count beyond ten fingers in his day subsequently produced Kant, Shakespeare, Newton and Bacon. The Arab van of the world's civilization. To damn a people, whether that people are African, Japanese, Chinese or East Asian, is because of deficiency in historical distinction shows the same faultiness of what never has been assumption that what never has been assumption of this test a thousand years ago would have placed under the ban the vigorous and virile nations of people. The Unreasonableness of Race Prejudice. Since we have shown that the race that is in the vanguard today is in the rear tomorrow, and how vain is the race that is in the forward races of the present should take heed and by the lessons of the past? One way of thinking, Japan with its keen intellect and agility, is the rising nation, and who knows but China with its ancient lore may follow, then India and Africa, etc. It it God's way, and we should not deceive it. The Almighty, I sometimes liken the man to the plan to the save the world, to a great army divided into battalions, and the army commanded by a wise general. The conflict as their services are needed until the victory is won. This seems to me to have been done by the God of Armies. First, Shem was the archon of Christianity aloft, and the next Japath, and the conflict has raged the fiercer, and last will come in Ham with a mighty warwoo, who will add the touch to the redemption of the world. We have something analogous to this in our late civil war. White men, brave soldiers, a mighty battalion from the East, another mighty battalion from the North, still another from the West and an enemy was not won, it hung in a balance, it seemed as if the Union forces would fall when lo, in the distance a black battalion was seen entering the field of white battalions, the white battalions already engaged, the victory was achieved, the Union was saved, and the slaves emancipated. I admit that race prejudice is deep seated, stubborn, and one of the hardest things to eradicate in all the world. But the Romans and the Romans were unable to eradicate race prejudice—even Christianity as practised in the ages past has been unable to conquer it. But in order to overcome it, we must future overcome and destroy race prejudice, we must take a retrospective view and see what deep-rooted and gligantic evils Christianity has overcome. We must struggle to struggle struggled with the monster Paganism—throttled it and strangled it to death. When the struggle began paganism and prestige on its side; while Christianity had poverty and was without learning or wealth—but it had the Christ-life, the divine life, divine love, inherent force on its side, and with these qualities it has conquered paganism. Christianity Has Slain the Goliath of Slavery. When the struggle commenced slaves moved the world in its firm grip, the masters of the earth gave the world of Christianity just as some learned men today in certain quarters sneer at the violence and the violence, said the time, and a vital force, and time and this vital force are the conquering agencies in the world. The Fathers reached these shores and talked of overcoming the Indians, clearing the forests, world, world said it, was a dream that never could be realized. But it has been realized, and what a magnificent story the historian has to tell of the triumph and achievement of the effort of our great country. When I study the history of the past it appears to me that Jehovah has, throughout the ages, been a reformer and civilization by the selection of one great truth at a time, and making it paramount until it found lodgment in the hearts of our people. It was the great truth of the Fatherhood of God, that was put forward. Said Jehovah, "I am God, and beside me there is one God, and have universal dominion." It required centuries to make the world accept this truth, but with the acceptance of this truth came the verhood of our people, now and believes in the Fatherhood of God and His universal dominion. But we must not forget the fact that it required centuries, mighty struggles, many heartaches before this triumph. Second, the second great truth presented to the world was the Christ—the life and light of the world. The world is the Christ—the truth and the life. To Platea's question, What is truth? Christ answered, I am truth. Men said—we care nothing for your pretentiousness, we care nothing for us. The struggle for the mastery then began—at the beginning of the first century and has continued and not ended—admitted the Christ has quenched. The spirit of the Galilean is today the controlling influence in legislation. Christ is the inspirer of all things that we hear so much. In the midst of wars there are many plans being inaugurated for peace. The air is imminent, the storms are keynotes of our speeches—the theme of our songs and the subject of our prayers, and who doubts that the great peace sentiment of the hour is inspired by the truth of the quering in literature, and thus many of our masterpieces are about the Christ or in some way tinged with his passion of Macauley, Burke Tillotson, Augustine, Luther, Shakespeare and Butler. Christ is recognized in poetry and song. Milton, Dante, Tennyson, Walt Whitman and Whittier have written and sung in his honor. The great painters have given Christ an exalted place. To convince you of this fact need only to mention Leonardo da Vinci, the great painter Raphael's "Transfiguration" and Angelos' "Last Judgment." And in our own Tanners' "Resurrection." Christ acquires the power to save affairs, to make Mendelshof. It is that in Christian lands, there are institutions, monopolies, customs, partisanships, which Christianity does not justify and which it will overcome as a powerful influence is extended and obeyed. Tyrannies, race discrimination, the burning of Negroes at the stake, oppression of women, ignorance, poverty and religion in different lands. Still I am sure that the vital forces of which I have spoken that mighty power which has uprooted gigantic evils will overthrow us well to keep in mind that Christianity is represented by the vision of a river, and a man with a measuring line in his hand by the Prophet Saul. He "behold I saw issuing out from under the threshold of the house of God eastward, and when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thou- thou through the water; the waters were to the ankles. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. Afterward he measured a thousand and it was a river that I could not pass over, for waters were risen, waters to swim in. I understand the river to represent the progress to be made by the Christ-monk, religion, and the thousand cubits to mount the mountain, and the proper interpretation then it is well to note that the first thousand years of Christianity found the waters of the river about the extent of the influence of Christianity at the close of the first thousand years. In the second thousand years the waters reached the knees of the villains about knee deep. In the two thousand years it is to follow Christianity is to reach its highest development, and to conquer all evil. Christ our Conqueror is ridiculously and has the ages before Him. Third. The third great truth is the recognition of the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in the world. He is controlling the affairs of men. We are just beginning to understand that the Holy Spirit is the vital force. That He is the Eternal Spirit—the vital force in the world. We are getting our eyes open to see this great truth, and to see the need of the presence and work of the Spirit. Fourth. The fourth great truth is Redemption. The sacrificial death of Christ to save the world. His atonement for the truth has found lodgment in the hearts of men, and a place in literature. Redemption is established fact, and men are being saved through this Handleaps. With oriental peoples their handicaps are race rather than color, because they have not been favored with leadership and have not made the same progress that European people have made, they are considered inferior. With the native African it is color and race that are their handicaps, and being still further back than the orientals in the race of life, it will require a leap in the human family. It is Christianity and Christianity alone, with the Negroes it is color and previous condition of serlitude that is to level the barriers and give to these backward races their place in the great Christian family. America's Duty. con people, a change for the better, when all discriminations, all hindrances, Chinese, the Negroes and Indians, etc, will be eliminated, thrown down, and all be considered brethren, dwelling on peace and peace, and all the result of Christianity. The Christian church can hasten this work. First, by being more aggressive in insisting upon the rights of men in the future than it has in the past, we can make more negative than positive, and this is why the work has gone on so slowly. Now, the call has come for a more aggressive approach, and the public should be called upon to contend for the rights of all men, regardless of race or color, and this the great Christian Endeavor Society is doing. We press for the rights of men, and heretofore. We only retard our work and delay our cause when we single out backwards, and we fight for the backward races, and it will be clear that we would see the results of our labor. The first thing to do is to combine to stop all eminimal legislation on the use of force in the church and done by united effort on the part of the Christian church. There are people that are so blinded by their pretense that this country place a premium upon bastardy by not allowing a white man to father and protect the Negro woman, and there cannot be much real Christian promise in a mistaken truth is the times call for a vigorous position against all manner of sins. The gospel is the remedy for all these illusions and it should apply it in the manner it should be. We have seen the effects of Christian civilization and the industrial purposive effort to serve its impregment of literature and refining tendency in art; we have witnessed its initiation of reforms and its industrial purposive effort to serve its impregment is in its effects on human character. Christianity must in the last analysis be judged by its ability to deliver men from sin and uproot existing faith and this much needed work it is doing. Why Girls Leave Home.

ANOTHER GOOD BILL At the Crown Garden Theater, Indian apolie—Tim E. Owley, The weather is fine, and cool, and the kind theatre patrons like. The audience is not too cold, and a good one; not because we say so, but because every act makes a hit. A theater is a place where the audience which says with the kind of weather we are having that there should be packed houses. The performers feel a bit cold, and they find the houses that way. They cannot play well unless the people are before them. On the "blues" feeling when the audiences are not as big as it appears done about it? That's the question. Kelley and Davis. This very interesting pair of performers are back after an absence of a few weeks, and then various times distinction class. Kelley as straight is one of the finest. He is one of the few that can pick up the pieces, and it is difficult for a straight to ridicule the comedian and get away with. Kelley does this, in the meanwhile losing nothing in dignity. His drives at work, but But Davis loses nothing by the sharp tongued wit of his partner. He, just like his wife, tries to eat him up, "chaws tobacco" and waits until the other fellow gets through, then he pitches in and proceeds to eat him up. Kelley exceeds as a buck dancer, doing this in regulation dress, but with such style and grace that his dress and body are as good as Peter. Davis goes big in his A. B. C. mon where he is just as funny as he wants to. Then his Ernest Hogan takes it, and then Peter. Peter When You Meet Him at the Gate? This is sentimental touch, breathing really of religion and the audience, and that way. A entertaining act. Susie Sutton. Miss Sutton says that they won't let her be known as anything else, so she has concluded to stick to the original name of the book, since she wished to assume her right name. The public wouldn't stand for it. What's that about a rose under any old name? She is a stage standard. Miss Sutton is well known for her older actress, Judging from the still-upcoming that line, when she presents a quarrel scene between a young married couple. Judging from the resemblance, she is being touched on scenes that were very familiar to many of the audience. She wished to have it appear that she was a woman, but she is a veritable Mrs. Caule, and who does nearly all of the lecturing. She is gifted with speech and expression, and for high capability as a performer. Her song numbers are "Under the Sheltering Palms" and "Mother May I Go On And Act Like Babies, Got to Love Them, That's All." Her dancing steps are neat, quiet, refined. She is pleasing and entertaining in her solo performance. She dresses richly and with extreme good taste. Brogsdale and Ramsey. Both these performers will be re- lated to the following: Ramsey and Nickerson. Brassadle is noted for his dry humor which is made particularly effective by the use of a comedic partner. His monologue is a feature. Miss Ramsey is so distinct, so different, that she is the title of the Only Alice. Her work is a study, since it clearly stands for the woman. She is largely Bohemian, with a dark, bold angle. Even to her dress there is something of the Spanish about her, and which in spite of her freedom of expression indifferently and oblivious to evasion, be called an air of abandon—apparently indifferent and oblivious to evasion, and when her light texture costume also whirls as if in sympathy. She is delightfully saucy appearing and competent; a very hard combination to them. They enter singing "Down in Arkansas" as Miss Ramsey sings the "Railroad Blues" with success. They close with "Come to the Beautiful Ragtime Ball." Laughing Lamar. Laughing Lamar is not doing his laughing song which got him the name a few years ago. He is doing some memorable songs, and his baseball stunt. Lamar is active and snappy anyhow, and when he illustrates the baseball song with what is seen daily on the diamond he makes his hit; for the world is a fan—almost. He gets off some good ones in his monologue, most of which were new to the Crown Garden patrons. He is of appearance, entertaining all of the way. THE FREEMAN.

Face was pale with fright and remorse, but he had the sympathy of his professional stage manager, who said the shall should have nothing to fear and full protection if needs be from the secret service. When the world has seen the glorious story, Becker who manufactures criminals and whose work cultivates murderers, his loss as a penalty is a distinct gain to society in favor of human safety.

We're marching to a place, some people say, Where life is understood, And streets are gold of dust and red clay, And everybody's good. We're marching, some of us, right down to hell.

THINGS PERFORMERS AND MAN AGERS SHOULD THINK.ABOUT.. (By Baby F. Seals.) Curtain pullers are producers nowadays. A good performer works to please the manager and the public, not the performers. I am working, thank you. Baby Seals, Bunch O. Follies, Dreamland Theatre, San Antonio, Tex. Some of every race fights the Negro, some of the Negroes fight each other. Are you a fighter? A wise manager keeps good acts in his house all the time. If you listen to some performers you will always be looking for talent. Shows may come, shows may go, a real act is working somewhere, for some performers. One manager does not control all houses. An act that is prosperous and strictly to business does not have many friends. You that knock are being knocked and not know it. When the knocker knocks, see what kind of act the knocker has. The more you listen to knocking performers the less you learn about the show business. Some managers will not answer your letter until they get hard pushed for you. Good and wise acts do not depend on one letter. One performer can't keep your house open. Your house pet is the cause of so much trouble. You heed the performer and heed you. A case of need each other. You don't know what kind of act it is until you take a chance. You take a chance when they book to play your house. The show business is a gamble, so let's both take a chance. When one performer knocks another the manager gets fooled, one way or the other, and the another especially if the other has the best act, unless they are mighty good friends. Neither one can afford to strike. If the act will go in your house why not stand grudgingly and feel or an old standing grudgingly put the dollars in your pocket or meat and bread in our stomach. When the knocker tells you my act will not go in your house, how do you know? I have not played your house. The knocker tells me you are a bad egg, how do I know. I have not worked for you. Why should you **be** hard on A. B. told you that A. should name. B. told you that A. said you should and so and so. Then you throw A.'s letter to C. Now, Mr. Manier, you watch B.

Stovall and Stovall are still pleasing, and they are in their 9th week. Kenner is convinced that they had not forgotten how to please the southern audiences. Their appearance was all the more important because they were billed heavy, but they lived right up to it.

M. Stovall. The title of the playlet was the "Society Law" Lew and Millie wrote after a while, while Stovall would step in every once in a while, and cause much laughter. D. J.
