CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 1.—The National Medical Association came to a triumphant close on last Friday afternoon by electing Dr. U. G. Dalley, the youngest practicing physician in the state, president. After working like a Trojan for the past year to make the meeting a success, the association unanimously tendered him the honor. All Chicago and the West is proud of the wonderful progress made by Dr. Dalley, who is only 30 years old. It is said that he has accomplished more in a short time than in all of the professional men in the country. Dr. Dalley came to Chicago from Texas, after coming to Newport, Newwestern Medical University and graduated with honors. His forte in college was anatomy and surgery and his work was soon placed on his work and was soon placed on the work of Provident Hospital and is now associate surgeon there. Having attended nearly every case on the college he went abroad. His title over a year he went abroad. While abroad he took a post-graduate informed physicians and surgeons in this section of the country. He did not stop at merely performing work but gave the benefit of his knowledge to the community.

He was elected associate editor of the National Medical Journal, and he was quoted by many of the leading medical journals of this country. His last position in the association was the surgical section, where he has an office at the 101st street, which is one of the most modern in this city. Doctor Dally was chairman of the committee that entertained the visiting doctors and that attended declared they were highly qualified. He holds such high place in the hearts and minds of physicians and surgeons here and elsewhere that you come to attend clinics and receive instruction.

Wednesday there was a grand Giants Park. Friday night, grand ball and festival. To the Freeman representative, Mr. Henry "Tenan" Jones, the public is taking a greater interest in the 50th anniversary meeting in the history of the order. The attendance will be larger and the public is taking a greater interest in the 50th anniversary meeting in the history of the gatherings that are to be here during the 50th anniversary of the freedom of the American Negro. We are here to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Elks are the Best People on Earth." Every Elk who has arrived in the city has been impressed by the most beautiful decorated on the "stroll." Here is where Elk hospitality is being dispensed with open hand. Masonic Night at the Exposition: Masonic Night at the Exposition. Monday night was Masonic night at the Exposition at A. S. Church Knight Templars were at the Exposition and marched around the building, headed by the K. P. Band to the tune was led by Major Robert R. Jackson. Among the excellent displays are the perhaps the best display at the Exposition.

Carey, who is a member of the Institutional church, was recently appointed investigator in the Corporation Counsel's office and pastor of the Institutional church, is the president of the A. M.

Oscar De Priest was responsible for a number of Chicago's society women, including the Theatre on last Saturday afternoon that will net the sum of $500. Those who attended the event gave such a successful minstrel some months ago at Masonic Hall. Aside from the home talent on the program, the group also included Curtis and Merrill Curtis, Washington, D. C., and Madame Marie Burton Myers, who was a brilliant and financial success.

In individual show she is the assistant secretary and her is credited for corresponding with most of the people who have exhibits in the museum.

The undersigned committee represents the people of Texas who have just emerged from one of the greatest storms in the history of this town. Many are without shelter and forced to work on the streets, while this, our race alone were made prisoners and forced to work on the streets at the point of a gun. Men were separated from their families. About two hundred were guarded at night in one of the wet floors of a wet floor without anything to sleep on. Many were sick. The men were forced to work in the rain, and off time, and they were then to them to get into ditches waist deep. Conditions of 300 men: Our women were very sick and were not allowed medical attention. If a woman left the room, she was threatened to be whipped if she repeated it. Daily was carried to this condemned building on a cot, unable to walk. Her son was not allowed to see her. She was refused medical attention. One woman who had a baby two weeks old was forced to stay there and shave. During this time there was no one to care for our belongings and as they naturally, clothing mildewed come rotted). Furniture fell to pieces. (It is to be remembered that water stood up to 4 feet inside most of our houses.) Our constitutional right was denied us on account of color. Up to this point we were allowed five days' work and the loss of this time and the losses of the storm, place us in the greatest distress. We, as a family, forgo for aid at once—money and dry goods. We call upon the press and the pulpit, we are not allowed full time for the time we were in prison until we were liberated, we are going into the business, based on our constitutional rights. We appeal to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to take up our cause in the Election. The Colored Relief Committee. P. S.: We will soon organize a protective association for justice. Representative. Texas City, Texas, Aug. 27, 1915. We, your committee on resolutions, beg leave to submit the following report. Whereas on the 18th day of August the city officials of this city, associated with the United States army, did unlawfully humiliate the Negro population in the most shameful and disgraceful manner.

The Southern Railroad was thanked for deciding to place colored porters in the Montgomery, Oswego and other states subject. The Southern Railroad for special coaches for delegates to the Grand Lodge. Long report on Education was read by H.C. Brenford of Huntsville endorsing the movement to reduce illiteracy in Alabama, calling upon each county to provide a Grand Lodge master and least one colored person to read and write. The report was adopted without opposition. The grand master, in his annual report, said that the Grand Master Woods recommended also that any colored Masons convicted of "boot-legging" should be removed. After the officers were installed by Past Grand Master James T. Gregory of Greenville the Grand Lodge adjourned to the annual meeting in 1945 in Montgomery. (By H. G. Motley.) Special to The Freeman ECHOES FROM THE BUSINESS LEAGUE Side-Lights on and the Aftermath of the Most Successful, Unique and Historical Session of the Afro-American's Chamber of Commerce. By R. W. Thompson. The order was all that could be asked for at all of the sessions. The weather was ideal—seemed to have been ordered for the occasion. Taking it up one side and down the other, the Boston meet was "the best yet." Thirty states were ably represented by delegates numbering upwards of 1,000. Lieut. J. O. Thomas, A. J. Holsey and F. P. Chisholm, of the Tuskegee Institute staff, rendered especially valuable assistance at every stage of the game. It is admitted by all that for felicity on expression, brilliance of ideas, solidity of thoughts and progressiveness, the women speakers "put it all over the men." The official badge, with its bright national colors and bronze pot of Boston baked beans, was an "open sesame" to every courtesy the good people of Boston and Cambridge would offer. The complete story of the Boston men's article. We shall tell it for several weeks—on the instalment plan. Keep your ears open for the "Echoes." The thirty life memberships enrolled brought in $750, which goes to a speeches League, only the interest on which is used for general expenses. This fund totals over $4,500 now. W. C. Gordon, president of the Acme Laundry, St. Louis, carried the banner that some (if he invites it) "the League may come" (these days). Mr. Gordon was retained on the executive committee. Those in charge of the National Convention of Governors showed they had "long heads" in setting their convenings. The Business League. As it was, the Governors were not overshadowed. As a presiding officer, Dr. Washington was at his best. His attitude was dignified, without being dogmatic or dictatorial, and not a single appeal was taken from his decisions. No one raised a "point of order." The Hotel Melbourne was the rallying point. Landlord R. J. Royster, a local businessman, and everybody. He was ably seconded by his assistant manager, Clarence W. Godwin, who saw to it that no one went lacking for any necessary service. J. E. Kefford, a real estate and insurance leader, of Waterbury, less than a hundred miles away, that is incorporated and has a capital of $10,000, was an interesting figure. His local league owns a fine building and is a vital force in the business life of Waterbury. Dr. J. H. Duncan, president of the Johnson Fund and the Slater Fund Boards, cheered the convention by a clearly-put talk on "Business and Brotherhood." He said he was a man who believe the Negro should have an equal chance and fair play in the battle for bread and civilization. If there were local divisions and disensions, such as exist in every city where programmed schools are all lines of human endeavor, no discord was manifested in Convention Hall on Wednesday morning when the gave to the giver one a hatchet, he kept it carefully concealed throughout the week. Major R. R. Moton, commandant at Hampton Institute, got a "big hand" at every appearance on the rostrum, after the gave to the giver the Society" was an eye-opener as to the useful things the various fraternities can do, if united on a common platform of advancement, however differ in their central purposes and policies. Tremont street, the most popular thoroughfare for colored business people in Boston, was beaded with flags and bunting from Hammond to Northampton street, with the Hotel Melbourne as the center of attention. M. G. Milman, Past Commander of the G. A. R. a., who spoke of having left an arm on the field of battle in defense, widely-known as a lecturer, singer and organizer, she now conducts the Pioneer House, where she communicates a variety of fraternal societies, carries on fashionable dress-making and makes regalias for secret orders or the artisanalist made a host of friends among the delegates. She is at 888 Main street, Cambridge. There were notable absentees from the list of "regulars," who follow the League year by year. The fashion meetings held this year in far-away cities, with which they held official connections, the Medical Association and Elks at Chicago, as well as state conventions of various grand lodges, which were taken by others, and the aggregate attendance broke all previous records. Philip J. Allston, fourth vice-president, was one of the Bostonians who --- pulled off his coat and worked hard to make the meeting a success. He is a businesswoman, the business forces of the "Hub." He is a genuine "race man," and can always be depended upon to stand up for his business, whether he is met with praise or blame. Mr. Allston owns a magnificent $12,000 home on West Canton Road, to the delegates, and hospitality was dispensed with a liberal hand by him and his excellent wife. Miss Bessie Weaver, of Kansas City, Mo., one of the few colored female businessmen in the city, addressed on the opportunities for women in this congenial business. She rendered yoyoman service as assistant manager of the annual and life memberships of Texas, and secured a large share of the annual and life memberships of Kansas City. Weaver is president and manager of the Afro-American Investment and Employment Company at Kansas City as the effective work for Kansas City as the next meeting-place of the League. The press service, before, during and after the convention, outshone that of any previous year. The colored press of preliminary matter, the value of which was freely and fully commended in the admirable annual address of Dr. Robert B. H. Daily reports in the Boston journals were marked for their accuracy and comprehensiveness. Nearly every local representative, who stayed on the job every minute, many out-of-town reporters at the press table, arranged for the fraternity by R. W. Thompson. The speech of Governor Walsh at Symphony Hall, was listened to with the finest audience that has ever gathered in that magnificent temple—was the clearness of the speech, of opportunity for the race that has from the lips of any American since the days of Lincoln. It was like unto a season of confinement in a cave of despair. He spoke as a man who has a record as chief executive of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts bears out the sincerity of his utterances. The Governor was given a tremendous ovation. One of the toilful presses was that by the Hon. Frank B. Sanborn, the "Sage of Concord," a relic of that group of immortals who fought for the abolition of slavery with Garrison, Phillips and Sumner. His appearance was as a picture cut with Garrison, Phillips and Sumner, his appearance harkened back to the eloquence that made Faneuil Hall indeed the "Cradle of Civilization." The number of people of today keep in mind the importance of both thrift and morals, generosity, and quoted a number of little-known speeches on slavery that helped to throttle the life out of that audience. Mr. Sanborn was given an ovation. Another revelation that surprised and gratified the thousands who pack-ageous and broad-visioned address of Rev. John E. White, pastor of the Secured Amenities and broad-visioned address of His message was from the "White South," and it was one that will go far to bring about a better under-standing of the need for care in the North and in the South. He spoke earnestly against lynching, unfair discrimination and in opposition to the man of any class or race. He warned the South that those who sow to the man must express the wind. The speeches of Governor Walsh and Dr. White were two of the brightest spots in the convention program. Prof. J. F. Ransom, director of Ransom's vocal and piano instruction, has a hospitable home at 225 West Springfield and his affable sister, Miss Ransom. Prof. Ransom is also associated with the down-town studio at 218 Trenton street, where the high class musical geniuses are wont to meet and prepare for their son's house guests were Miss Minnie Brown, of the New York News, a noted New York city, a Parisian modist; Prof. C. H. Moore, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, a national corporation at Ocala, Fla.; and R. W. Thompson, national correspondent. Former Register of the Treasurer, J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., rated the handsome man in the convention, and the moral addresses of welcome, speaking on behalf of the League, as chairman of the executive committee. Mr. Napier, who served as the co-chairman, captionally fervent in his references to the return of the League to its birth- place, after fifteen years of struggle and the announcement of the death of his lifelong friend, Lawyer Josiah T. Settle, of Nashville, was the most pathetic inference of the polices calling especial attention to the work of sons and daughters taking up the enterprises established by the fathers and mothers of Nashville, with development, were highly fitting. Mr. Napier was easily the balance-wheel of the convention in support of the labors of President Washington. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs captured the creature of the nation, with enthusiasm by her spirited address, urging the Negro in business not to think so much about his color, but to "deliver the goods," she warned the president, who kept the promise of his store, team and person.

Work is hard, Miss Burroughs slogan was taken with a will, and from now on she will be greeted by the admonition: Do not be a disgrace to it is a slag business men of the race can not forget. Miss Burroughs teaches this doctrine in her workplace and can be a comprehensive review of the work of the race since emancipation, and particularly noting the progress we have in the world wasten world since the organization of the Business League in the past fifteen years. The statistics presented should be carefully preserved and the young students in the schools during the coming term. Every phase of activity was touched upon and the aging for the optimism in the world was for the Dr. Washington never spoke in happier veil and there has never been a time when a speech could make an excel- lation, made an excel- lation for the opportunities for the membership in a service as assistant absence of R.

A worker for the success of the session, who know not the difference between night and day, and whose viritude "doubling Thomases" into line, was Dr. Samuel E. Courtney, an acknowledged leader in the professional and commercial world, and a graduate of New England. Dr. Courtney was the Chesterfield of the convention. He presided gracefully, with the attention of the Wednesday night and his addresses introducing Governor David L. Walsh and Dr. William C. Carson, a vicious English and happily voiced the sentiments of Boston and the race toward these eminent statesmen. Through the eras of the state, Commerce and bed of the high personal esteem felt by Bostonians for him, the record for life memberships was the highest, and the total number secured by Dr. Courtney was thirty, New York having led up to this time with 26. Too many people were in attendance, this helpful son of Boston in recognition of his able and effective services. The wide range of subjects treated by the different speakers indicated the diversity of the race is engaged in all parts of the country. Department stores, real estate, farming, pickle making, dress-making, catering, catering, cattle, hog and poultry raising, cigar manufacturing, town artisans, catering, cattle, hog and poultry decorating and home beautification, fruit-growing, laundering, millinery, drug-store development, insurance, interior decorating and home beautification, labor-saving devices in housekeeping, benevolent and protective organization, business, grocery business, wholesale and retail, singly and in chain system, fish and oyster business, photography, business, technical talk or even papers by men and women who had made pronounced successes in their profession, technical talk or even papers by men and women who had made pronounced successes in their profession, the highest educational and inspirational value. The enthusiasm engendered by exhibits of this was worth paying many hundreds of miles to gain. The success of the program, both for its intrinsic worth and infinite variety, is due in the largest measure to the abundance of energy and reservoir of boundless resources. Emmett J. Scott, the motor behind every detail of the convention, has been appointed Dr. Washington. Mr. Scott knows practically every business man and woman in the country and can tell in detail. The program is certain to be clean, for every speaker is subjected to a chemical analysis by Secretary of the Convention, who him, despite his assiduous efforts to dodge the camera. He is best-loved by those who know him best. To this deserving young man, Washington is grateful for his human words can, the depth of gratitude which all of us owe to our Secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the resourcefulness of Mr. Scott which for good that it is." To this the country echoes a hearty "Amen." (Echoes from the Negro Business Issue.) BOZEMAN, MONT. Mrs. Woll Ward, the custodian of the Montana State University, left this week with her son Seth, who is a graduate University, Jefferson City, Mo, where he will finish his education. Mr. Roberts ran will finish a forty-foot embankment a few days ago near Three Forks with a party of friends but no one was hurt seriously. He escaped with a slight sprain and is now recovering.

He began as PEYTON W. LEMON. When more of our Sunday schools have at their head men like Mr. Lemon, superintendent of St. John's A. M. E. or the reclaiming of our young people. I have seen nothing superior to St. John's Sunday school. Mr. Lemon has been superintendent for nine years and is the most important character of the man. It is very closely organized on the most modern basis and it carries the heaviest membership. It is one of the 1,100 all told. The average attendance is more than six hundred. Another [Name] very important characteristic I noticed is the hospitality of the members. They make a stranger feel comfortable and welcome. St. John's is the foremost church in Ohio in point of value, building and membership and general community. Its pastor, Charles Bundy, D.

The Sunday school has become one of the in this part of the country in point of attendance, contributions, care and service, and served the entire community. The average attendance is nearly four hundred, and I have never visited a Sunnyville church. I have more interest and one which is oper- 5 ated more in accordance with the modern demands. One of the finest features is its music. The culture assists in the general musical features, under the leadership of Mr. R. L. Sissle, a fine specimen of the course well trained and national ethusiasts. The choir which leads the church services is one of the best I've seen. Its quality is due largely to the director, Miss Rachel Walker, a singer of international reputation, who spent seventeen years in Europe. Reverend White is one of the directors of the Freeman's Ai Society. He has elected delegate to the general national board meeting in California, all of the fifteen members of which are white but two. He is a man of collect, power, experience and courage. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. THOMAS W. FLEMING, Thomas W. Fleming is well known for his interest in race and civic progress.

She has learned the trade under one of the most noted hair culturists in the United States. She is nothing about scalp treatment and the great Swedish massage system that Miss Warren doesn't know. Her reputation has her customers bear testimony to her knowledge of the business and efficiency. Miss Warren has been doing business MISS L. E. WARRIEN in Cleveland over six years, and it has been interesting to watch her grow. Four years ago, she opened up her own restaurant, and her foods are used in all parts of the United States. For example, she has regular customers in Pasadena, Cal.; Gadsen, Ala.; Gergen, Cal.; and adoling states. She manufactures her own preparation and guarantees every package to be the best on the market. She lives inville, Tenn., but has been away for fourteen years. On losing her sister a few years ago she took the three litter children which she is rearing. Her address is 327 Central avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. SLAUGHTER BROTHERS. Among the funeral directors of Cleveland, we found the Slaughter Brothers one of the best equipped with well-equipped funeral services. They are young men who opened this business in January, this year, but during this short time they have placed a strong emphasis on the basis that they are recognized as one among the most reliable firms of the city. This company carries nothing but first-class material in all its departments, and has taught us to finish a complete funeral for $75 and up, and a shipment funeral for $50 and up. Mr. Howard S. Slaughter, the principal owner, has had six years of experience as an embalmer, being a graduate of the Cleveland Training School of Funeral Services, and engaged in the business since graduation. He passed an examination before the Ohio State Board of Embalmers, and he graduated in 1910. 1913 he married Miss Ruby one of Cleveland's most talented singers, and is now the father of a fine son, funeral parlor partners. 2822 Central Children hold a very social center for young musical people. NAHUM D. BRASHER Mr. N. D. Brasher has recently returned from Columbus and opened a public office In the Clayton building Centre avenue a room among business tax takers. He is a member and business tax taker. His experience of about fifteen years in the journalistic field has equipped him for a successful career as publicity man. He is among his among where he prevails over many people in church, Sunday school, politise and business must stand as a great reinforcement to his present undertakings. He has business tax and insight, his readiness to co-operate in any important public movement for the betterment of our people, make him a useful man and factor in the body politic of Cleveland. THE LAKES ARE CALLING YOU. Tourists from all parts of the country are this year seeking the Great Ship, which is to those who have never before enjoyed the delights of these great wanderers and unexcelled service will be revelation. This is particularly true since the ship has water planes the Great Ship "Sea Lion" tween Cleveland and Buffalo. This great ship is 500 feet long, 98 feet 6 inches wide and 100 feet long, and parlors de luxe accommodating 1,500 passengers which equals the capacity of the ship in the country. The splendid steam- ers "City of Buffalo" and "City of Erie" also ply on this route and with day trips to Sandusky, Cleveland, maintain daily service between Cleveland and Buffalo, leaving either city at nine o'clock in the evening and reach destination following morning at 7:30. In point of expense these lake trips are by far more economical than travel by rail and once one has tasted of their delights, succeeding vacations are sure to include a lake journey. H. C.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2890. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1915. An exposition number, this year, will take place of The Freeman's usual holiday number. An appeal for help has been sent out by the colored people of Texas City, Tex., which was visited by the great storm of a few days ago. The appeal is unusual, and if true in all it says the Negroes of that community have been very harshly dealt with. It is pleasing to note that the United States and Germany are at a better understanding concerning the submarine warfare. We can not see, however, where they were, ever very far apart. Germany has always contended that passenger boats were always warned, or that that was its policy. In pleading the point it was held that the Lusitania was not expected to go down so soon. The policy of warning is just and humane, The many friends of the late Dr. M. C. B. Mason will be pleased to learn that he was not poorly treated by attendants of the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore. Members of his family have had published a lengthy statement in defense of the institution. The Freeman knows the institution only by reputation, but it thought that its reputation was such that it could not afford to be guilty of the meanness with which it was charged. Our race has troubles enough without borrowing more. A report from Lawton, Okla., says that when a mob formed in that city to hang a Negro it was beaten off by Negroes, many of whom were women who dressed themselves as men. The prisoner was rushed away to Ft. Dill. After all it may be that the women are to play an important part in setting at naught the mob. Perhaps it is not best to say this is as it should be, but they will no more be blamed than the mob, which generally gets by. In fact, the virtue, if, is on the side of those who stand up against the assailants of their liberties. September is the summer's last hope; it is not too late to have a spell of very warm weather, but the betting is about five to one that it will not make good. However, Indian Summer promises something. The second crops depend on it, also the glorious windup of the general crops depend on it for their utmost consummation. The peculiar weather is not without value. The unusual amount of rain and the moderate warmth we have been having may have answered fairly well for the hot spells with their accompaniment of droughts. Vegetation hates a drought, as they say nature hates a vacuum. All's well that ends well. If the United States gives its pledge that it will occupy Haiti for a term of years, and with the purpose of straightening out the affairs of that country, it should be a matter for congratulation. Haiti in its present condition is next to no country. It has had the fairest prospects, nestling under the protection of the Monroe Doctrine, and favored by our own supreme sense of honor for independence, it has had nothing to do but thrive. The sense of fear absent, it could have planned for the centuries. It could have become famed for its works—art, industries—becoming a veritable mecca for travelers. The Negroes of the United States would have found pleasure in touring Haiti, high-quality Haiti, lying amid seas, kept sweet and tuneful by nature and man, and so forth. But, alas! it is as discordant as the head of Medusa, offering nothing but settling distraction and discord. What a wasted opportunity! The mob spirit seems to be slightly on the rise since the Frank happening. It has always been held that the success of one mob paves the way for the next one. Nothing is truer. The law broken down in a particular is seldom made whole again. It will require years of peace to allay the war spirit in the world. It will take years of freedom from mob rule to reduce the mob spirit to its minimum. And it is sad, indeed, to see this in the face of the written laws. When discussing this state of affairs the fact of the law existence is left entirely out—or if mentioned it is incidental, a matter of courtesy or nothing else. The laws are called on for redress, to provide to custain—they are sus-ended of insufficient consequence in the times of their greatest need. When the mischief is over they come again into their own. This is not wholly a faithful likeness of what takes place, but out of the whole some such picture rises surely and makes itself manifest to those who care to see. Still worrying with the Pullman porters. Congress is expected to pass an act which will prohibit tipping. The agitators say that if the bill is successful the company will be forced to give the porters better wages. It strikes us that the porters should be the ones to worry rather than the onlookers. This is not urged in the defense of the company, which is said to be imposing great wealth and consequently can afford to give the por- ters more money. Our point is, that the porters should register the kick. It may be that they have done so. If this is true it is not generally known. Most of the porters are satisfied with the money they get out of their jobs. Nevertheless, they should be paid decent wages. The only thing that can be urged against the tipping system is the possible neglect of the traveler who does not tip. Such a condition might be help needed to be legally abolished, but to our way of thinking the tipping business has no place in Congress. It's a purely personal matter. The wages of the men should be better, and the tips should not be denied, provided the service is satisfactory. BIG INDUSTRIAL NUMBER. A few race publications have done something by way of illustrating our progress within the past fifty years, and with commendable success. We have had expositions also which furthered the idea with more or less success. However, we of this publication, The Freeman, feel that there is still something due to success in the various fields. There will, in truth, ever be something due it, because the story of the rise can never be told. Every community of Negroes has its heroes, industrial heroes, who have won success in narrow straits, where others would have given up as hopeless. In many instances these had no light or help save that which came of their flinty, hard situations, practically rediscovering the already known laws of success. This was due to their isolation. Great institutions of all kinds have long since been in existence, but so far as getting experience in them they may as well never have existed. This, of course, is not strictly a business place, the very idea of how that business place suggests an idea of how that business is being conducted. We are safe, nevertheless, in saying that the Negroes have been practically without business guide. In spite of this most every known enterprise has sprung up within the race, is commanded by the race, and now supported by the race. The object has been to set forth the achievements in a pictorial way, in an objective way, and with what success is generally known. We said in the beginning that, we, of this publication feel confident that our effort to be done to emphasize the half century end of our existence as a free necure. It is customary with us to publish a big holiday number, and which has always been on the exposition order. This year we will make the holiday number expositional in the best sense. It will be known as the Exposition Number. It will cater to the best and most representative affairs, concerns and men of the Negro race in America. We think the effort will appeal to the thoughtful. The success of numerous means very much the race. Negroes all over the world are interested in the United States Negroes. They are anxious to know what we are doing. They ask about us. And in fact without our solicitation the tendency on the part of the foreign Negroes is to make this publication the Universal Organ of the Negro race. The Freeman reaches most every point on the globe where the Negroes are found in considerable numbers. It covers the United States and its possessions. Now the Negro belts the world. This being true, it is well prepared from that viewpoint to give an exposition number. We take the show to our worldwide patrons. We are ready to receive communications as to space. Regular rates. WHAT OF BELGIUM? If it should turn out that Germany is able to retain the territory it has acquired during the present war it is to be hoped that it will be satisfied with what it has carved out of the side of Russia. The Czar has country to let. He may be just as tenacious, however, in holding to what he has as a ruler of a much smaller country. Pride is a great asset with rulers, especially with kings. Even ordinary people, those that are not responsible for the integrity of the land, also have much of it as it concerns their land's integrity—it is a phase of patriotism. Pride enters largely into the present war, and also the authority to be condemned, for without it men would not stand so high in the scale of civilization. It is a quality which men care more to exhibit than to express by way of speech—its akin to vanity. The Czar has territory to let, but the doubtless will feel greatly humiliated if the great war closes finding him with a rod less of ground than what he possessed at its beginning. If he is dispossessed of the land now in possession of the Germans no great hardship will work the inhabitants of those parts, nor has he been too roughly dealt with unless the Teutons go further than they have up until this time. The same can not be said of the Belgians, who, in part, are as thoroughly dispersed as the Acadians of early America were. This was so complete and cruel, that, in the instance the American continent furnished its best subject for great romance. European history is crowded with great, inhuman deeds and which were so atrocious, many of them, that in this day, when the white light of reason pervades, seems beyond belief. By the way, this dispersion was by our English friends. Perhaps it was a military necessity. The French power in Canada had to be broken; the English took this very effective means. The school boy or girl contemplating this scene forgets all about war's necessity and about the promotion of empires. The civil deburachment of a people hoods the screen of their observation and reflection, and as it should be, the barbarism be healed in ancient lines. Heum Wadsworth Longfellow gave the beautiful story of Evangeline with its virtually transposed European settings—the dispersion of the Acadians, the only deed of the kind known to the American soil—the refinement of cruelty—beautifully cruel, as a tiger. The civilized world is with Belgium, there has been no physical dispersion like that of the Acadians, but the country, as it concerns its people, has been as thoroughly uprooted. Its citizens, however, have been treated humanely in spite of all that has been said. Their personal woes have been largely brought on by their own actions in defying the intruders, and their persistent, kingly denial of subjection. Their woes, consequently, are considered righteous in the light of views of enlightened men on the rights of men. The civilized world is, perhaps, more concerned in what will THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER be Germany's decision as to the fate of that country in event it is left for the Kaler to decide than any other phase of the war up until this time. The cards may be stacked against King Albert's country, but nevertheless, Germany will be forgiven much if it is a part of its program to restore his country. The world, we think, is not much interested about the restoration of Alsace and Lorraine to the French, although a straw vote would be in France's favor. The Kaler said she took the taking in the 70s but simply taking what formerly belonged to Germany, hence the justification. Had there been no Alsace and Lorraine contentions the present war would not have been. We think that a safe proposition. Poland, the land of the beautiful ukraine country, with its apparently never-ending vistas of meads, has been poetical in its contention for independence. Cossacks and Pole long since rioted for supremacy, fighting and exploiting, with all a peculiar reverence for God and the son of God, such as was unknown among any other assemblages of fighting men. Each fought for the glory of the land as they conceived it, making for the most curious and weird history of the affairs of men. This theatrical country, and such it was in the past, where men performed their parts as if on the stage, had Warsaw as the great objective, worshipping the city as a Hindoo worships the gods he makes with his own hands. Long since the struggle for liberty had ceased as a thing of dangerous activity, the spirit of Poland had been broken. But its resentment of the Russian subjection is historical and poetical. Hate of domination ranked deep even if there were no means of expressing it. The world knows fairly well of Poland and of its capital, Warsaw. Thus, when the Kaiser's men teneried a thrill went around the world possessing as that felt when reading of Caesar crossing the forbidden Tiber, Father Tiber, to whom the Romans pray. And one would think that the Kaiser himself feels that he entered a political sanctum sanctorum, for it is said that he has declared to make the country free and independent, a decided compliment for its past struggles. Poland does not parallel Belgium; it does not now care under what woke it serves. The erstwhile independent spirit cannot be revived. Those people were too fine to survive their debasement, too fragile to be mended. The cruse is broken; the oil is spent. The Poles were the rarest liberty loving people the world ever knew, even including Switzerland, now secure in its mountain fastness. Honor of country, home and the individual were virtually deified. The bowls of mead might incessantly flow, or vodka, but no Pole in the hey day of his country was so drunk but what he knew, he hardened, obeyed and he hardened that his liberty and independence were assaulted. So high and rare in love and devotion to country he sickened and died—in spirit when the overawing hand cast a death pall over this land. Poland does not now care whether Austria rules, or Germany rules, or Russia rules. It is to be hoped Belgium will not meet a similar fate. EDITOR'S TALK. How to Become a Good Agent for the Freeman First you are to remember that it does not cost anything to be an agent and correspondent of The Indianapolis Freeman, and that it is a well-paying position to become a representative of this paper because it is the largest and most popular colored paper published in the United States. All you have to do is mention the name and you are sure to sell it. It is a business that you can profit by, largely during your spare moments, if you will follow the rules and suggestions that we have discussed. Do not get in the habit of crediting people for the paper. It makes many hard feelings, and will eventually cause you to lose money. Keep your eyes and ears open at all times. A wide-awake person can often gather more news by merely looking and listening and then asking questions. Each agent will be supplied with report blanks which you are to fill out each week and send in with payments. One-forth will be allowed you on subscriptions, advertisements, etc. One-half on all single copies sold at 5 cents each, only returning those not sold immediately. Always see that your matter is mailed in time to reach this office by Tuesday of each week to insure its insertion in the current issue. Be brief and concise. Practice saying many things in a few words. Write-ups with cuts, single and double column, three and five dollars up. When about to write imagine that you are talking to thousands of people, living in many different parts of the country, and write nothing but what would be of interest to all these people. In seeking news use the utmost fairness, remembering that a first-class newspaper serves all the people. SAYS HE CANNOT GET ALONG WITHOUT THE FREEMAN New Orleans, La., Feb. 16.

SAM MCRENOLDS WITH ROGERS GREATER SHOWS. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. THE EXPOSITION AT THE COLI SEUM. Music and Literature Centers Inter est—First Week Gravitation. Signal events marked the closing of the first week's proceedings and exhibits of the Lincoln Jubilee Half-Month, a celebration of chilly weather from the lake, which has been in evidence, took a turn and the cooler atmosphere played havoc on the musicians, all places except the cabarabs and the theaters. The greatest interest thus far has been centered in the musical songs in their augmented stupendous splendor. J. Gray Lucas, a well-known musical lawyer, has kindled a flame of enthusiasm for authenticity of the musical claim of his people. The visitors from out of the city have been the main support of a group of musicians enforced by the city visitors at night.

Business men and farmers' exhibits are also moderately exuberant. Freeman advertisers, is among the best things of the kind. Nathaniel Harper informed me that "Tallaboo," which is a city in Illinois, will be produced in the Exposition concert hall during the present week and indefinitely. Charles H.

The daily newspapers have gone into ecstasy over the opening of the exhibition language of the slaves in exaggeration over ancient chants of Ethiopians in depicting the history of Negro slavonics at Hale Thompson was not present at the opening, an error of the report. The exhibition charge of the entrance, deserves great credit for his duty in the management. Harrison Stewart at the Pekin Two King Comedies at the Grand. Russell & Owens at the New Monogram "The Old Folks Convention" was the first Owens Company, which pleased to a certain degree, but would suit better in Alabama. The people in the cast were in art-effect than the stars. In a good show poorly regulated. Billy Owens was good in humor, but was too much aggressive who should make up in straight parts, was less convincing. Nina Mitchell, a fine soprano, untrained, sang too slow. William Dumont did well and George Freeman was best of all in his comedy work as a whole. Bab Mack had a fine soprano, good as Lyllian Brown and Annie Freeman were stars that had no chance to shine.

AN ENTERTAINING BILL AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATRE, INDIANAPOLIS—ALL NUMBERS GOOD. Manager Owley has a clean-cut bill of good offerings this week. Owley, who made good last week in the new version of Twenty-Five, has been to have appeared in a new role this week. But rheumatism, Tim's old foe, brought him down, consequently he was unable to appear. Tim took the place of the in Tag Hart. Duneer. Tag Hart does not profess to do anything but dance, but he does that in most cases. He is a teacher of numbers, introducing himself by a little talk on insanity, winding up with the assertion he made: "I see it that way, but others think that he has musical feet. His first number is done to waltz time and I see it that way, but others think that he has musical feet. Then again they reminded one of the eticks in the hands of children's prattle. Then again they reminded one of the eticks in the hands of children's prattle. Then again they reminded one of the eticks in the hands of children's prattle. His second number consisted of characteristic steps, imitations, including "shootee zebra," "puzzles, puzzle," "coming down Beale street" this, Penn. "These were difficult, and tough," he was thoroughly appreciated. The band was pure buck dance. He did many steps were distinctly his own. All of his work was on his own, which showed his own fine conception of his work. He wore a neat fitting brown shirt which agreed nicely with his dance. Sydney Kirkpatrick. Barltone. Sydney Kirk, as he is best known, is one of the best baritones of the race. He clashes easily with the best singers of the race, and he sings baritone, his voice having a middle quality, but which holds its own beau-ness, and attacks his highest and lowest registers, not merge into tenor as so many voices do; they are yet baritone having that high notes of a cello. They are glorious to hear. His three numbers are, "Venetian Bass," "Dunbar's words," and "Chinese Blues." These renditions all that could have been expected—they were great. He has been a major audience when he sang Paul Lawrence Brown words, "The Chinese Blues," while a bit humorous, was piece-de-resistance which might call, but showed all of the qualities in his voice. Nothing better has been heard on the Crown stage game. Mills & Friisble, Comedy Monologue, Singing and Dancing. Thema, the great, is all of that in female impersonations. This young woman is a number of times, and notwithstanding that, he is always interesting. In the audience also a study. Those who have saw him for the first time are not interested in a woman. They see something novel in him and are wholly interested because he is a woman. This is due to several things. He costumes elaborately, understanding, and posing him on and looking well. Even for a woman he would be an extremist. THE FILM "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN BURTON, WITH A MUSIC BY JOHN BURTON, AND A DIRECTOR BY JOHN BURTON. THELMA, THE GREAT. consequently the thought of a man is never entertained until he uncovers it. He has a dainty way of holding his mouth, which is really attractive, and between his teeth. He moves with grace and dignity, more so than women generally. In short, he not it on 'em all as a female impersonator. Thelma has a pleasing singing voice, which he juggles with ease to keeps up his disguise. His song numbers were: "Red, Red Rose," "Wasting All My Love on You" and "The Mart." He sings them all with nice effect. Mills and Kinky. This team is seemingly a couple of buds, young girls, who show youth and freshness in their small feet, which look pretty in their little dances. Their 'Blues' song is a triumph for that kind of singing. The singing of the song 'Beautiful Rose' by Mia Kill will be remembered. The tone is beautiful as that of a violin -small but dainty and rare. Kinky is also attractive in her song number. They made a fine impression. ST. LOUIS THEATRE THEALK NEWS.. (By Herbert T.
