This is the Leading Question Propounded by Able Counsellors at the Capital—Heirs Seek to Dissolve Donovan Liberian Fund—Negroes no Longer Migrating to West Africa—Public Schools Open, Assistant Superintendent Bruce Absent—School Board at Odds over Colored Cadets in G. A. R. Service. (By R. W. Thompson.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22.—Skilled lawyers in this vicinity are exempt from the proposition advanced by a coterie of legal lights from the South and elsewhere that that the colored people who produced the cotton that was marketed between 1859 and 1868 in the South were not produced. The $68,702,309.93 realized from the sale of said cotton and can secure their rights in the Court of the District of Columbia against the Secretary of the Treasury. All presumed to be custodian of the money. In pursuance of this idea, Attorney Cornellus J. Jones, of Memphis, Tennessee, filed a suit in the Supreme Court of the United States in preparing to present the claims of former slaves or their heirs for a property owned by them, arrived from the cotton alleged to have been produced by their unrequited lance. The court ordered that the money, said to be held in the custody of the Secretary of the Treasury, All persons interested are asked to furnish the money and the $175 or expenses to Lawyer Jones' office in Memphis, Tennessee.

The Negroes of the Negroes has expended only about $20,000 of the income from the Donovan fund in 17 years, and has from have amounted to more than $40,000. The office expenses have been quite heavy, but with all that a surplus has been made to the society that indicates, according to the claims of the Donovan heirs-at-large, which the trust was created. Since Negroes do not wish to go to Liberia, the petitioners ask that the trust be furnished to be distributed among Mrs. Donovan's residuary legates and their descendants, officials of the American Colonization Society and Rev. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, Liberia's consular agent in this city, and the resolution of the Donovan trust. The matter is now before the courts. The Board of Education and Colored High School, Cuddes. At the first meeting of the Board of Education for the new school term, a task was assigned to use of the high school cadets in connection with service as aids to the commission of the veterans coming to the National Encampment of the G. A. R. Sentiment service. In the request of the committees for the cadets, but in the course of the debate, the commission included the cadets of the colored high schools. He regarded their participation as matter in view of the fact that hundreds of colored veterans would be here, and service such as only colored boys, familiar with local conditions, could render a service to the veterans to have started a row, and caused the The Frie man As an advert medium is uneq by any Negro Newspaper, going into the homes of a class of thrifty, money-spending Afro-Americans not reached by any other Journal.

R. committee, the question on the ground that the committees had asked only for whites, and the question on the ground that the committees were solved at this time. The whole matter was finally referred to Supt. E. L. Thurston for such action as seemed appropriate to the premises. Mr. Thurston has not yet indicated his attitude on the subject, the superintendent on all problems affecting the race, it is believed he will respond in favor of the utilization of the colored branch of the G. A. R. committee. The Lee-Terrell committee is satisfied all members to assist all members a chance to solve the problem on right lines, and the incident will doublestress with the issuance of a writ of permission for the members to assist to assist the colored committee. Public Schools Open for New Term. The regular opening of the public schools took place on the 20th, with a large attendance. Before the end of school year, the rollment in the colored divisions will approximate 15,000. Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Campbell will resume his duties. It is expected that the Board of Education will name some one to lead the school system at least. Prof. W. S. Montgomery Hershaw, Hugh M. Browne and N. B. Marshall are among those considered as successors Bruce, but wise ones are not the intention of the Board to show its hand at this juncture. This is interpreted as the school system's office, has a good show as acting assistant superintendent, the final decision to be held in abeyance probably will be taken. The complications set in—and this is likely as anything else under the sun—Supt. E. L.

The situation will be "ticklish" as it is determined by Congress to take with reference to the local school embroght. The News in a Nut Shell. Attorney Thomas L.

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. Washington City led with a delegation of twenty-five. Boston is aptly described as "The City of Inspiration." A E. Manning says Indianapolis will ask for the League again in 1817. Boston has 300 business places conducted by colored men and women. The meeting place for 1915 was not named by the convention—but Kansas City "has hopes." Every comparison between "fifteen years ago and now" found the odds in favor of the League. The "social side" though brilliant, was not permitted to interfere with the business side of the convention. Dr. Summon A. Furniss one of the "regulars," was missed. Had to attend another meeting in the Middle West. The Boy Scouts did yeoman service in assisting the housing committee. They were picturesque in khaki uniforms. A poem by Rev. J. H Matthias, entitled "The People" featured on several occasions where speaking was the order of the hour. Not a word was said by any delegate about "hard times." It was a gathering of prosperous and farsighted business forces. M. W. Turner held up the banner for Turner up the state. He served on the committee on credentials and spoke interestingly on several questions. The delegates were pleasantly received at the registering station, the Campbell and Martin, who carry on a real estate syndicate at 121 Kendall street, in the heart of the colored business section. The banquet at Convention Hall Friday evening was a "thing of beauty." The caterer, James H. Madison. The picture presented at the tables, with all in evening dress, was one not soon forgotten.

Hamilton manager, notices the occasion by getting a special illustrated edition, containing much informing matter and running the cuts every prominent business factor in the The cars on the trolley ride stopped reverently when the spot was reached American blood in the Revolutionary War. A circle in the granite blocks marks the hallowed ground upon which this dark-hued martyr fell. Mrs. Joseph St. Pierre Ruffin, one of Belfast's most prominent presented at the first session at Convention Hall and given a seat on the platform—the first time such a disruption to understate rather than overstate being the rule. The fantasies of the crowd were big results from nothing, formerly essayed by some, was beautifully lacking at this meeting. The splendid light and admirable ventilation of Convention Hall made the business in hand. Friday's session continued from 9:30 a.m. m. until 5 p. m., and few persons, if any, left m. except a short time for lunch. No one could go astray as to the program of each day, for the details of each day, for the details of each session by Joseph W. Powell, the less chairman of the public committee. Mr. Powell was "on the job" from revelille to taps, and was a veritable "bureau of information." Rev. John E. White, of Atlanta, got a good start in his opening with "Mr. Chairman, Brothers and Sisters." This from a Southern Caucasian "brought down the house, and generous and high-secret selections." He gave a white heat of enthusiasm throughout. Rev. Archibald H. Grimke, president of the Washington branch of the N. A.

Scott, Montgomery, Miss; Mrs. D. H. C. Scott, Montgomery, Ala.; Mrs. A. L. DeMond, Charleston, S. C., and Mrs. Charles H. Brooks, of Philadelphia. Dr. Washington and took part in each of the notable functions and sessions of the convention. In addition to the trolley ride and the Unity Club reception, the "Wizard" team took the first ball to the pitcher. He was on the refreshing boat ride on the Bosnian harbor, and later on took in the clambate at Readville Driving Club Park. The immense charts on the walls of Convention Hall, showing the representations and what might yet be done in these same pursuits, were studied with care and many of the facts were taken into account. We have future reference. Rev. L. G. J. Gordan photos of them made for the Chicago exposition, so valuable did the consider them. The resolutions, offered by a committee headed by Mr. Gordan, were adopted without conflict. When an objection was made to the mayor's address, the Governor and mayor for their "addresses," the fact was remembered that the mayor made no address. By manifold agreement the wording was changed to "guided gentlemen for "courtesies extended," and all was well. A. Eichelburger & Company attracted favorable attention by reason of having on hand everywhere the cigars manufactured especially for B.B. League season as a compliment to the race's peerless leader. At the banquet committee at the Hotel Melbourne, the Eichelburger, presented Dr. Washington with a box of the cigars named "Bob." He accepted the token with thanks. The Eureka Co-Operative Bank, incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts, instituted that came in for interest institutions that came in for interest amination. David E. Crawford, the energetic secretary, gave a graphic account of the bank is conducted, and told of the habits of thrift and home-ownership that the institution had engendered by making classes of "The Hub." Samuel M. Merchant is president of the bank. The singing of the Hampton Institute Quartet is interpolated in the interpolations of the convention series—and they never seemed to tire of the melodies that touch the soul of "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray." "Steal Away," "I Want to Be Ready," and "Do You Want the Lord Told Me To死," were some of the lections rendered. The well-pleased audience saw to it that the boys got several good dinners in recognition of their beautiful "playing on the vocal harp." The reception at the handsome $10,000 Unity Club, 228 West Canton street, 900 Fifth Avenue, the finest affairs of the week. The parors and rear garden were crowded during the two hours allotted to the bracing all kinds of sandwiches, Boston baked beans with brown bread, the bracing all kinds of sandwiches, is social and beneficial and numbers among its members the best young men of Boston. The president is John B. Hancock, who through was presented individually to to Dr. and Mrs. Washington and the staff of the Business League. The trolley ride was delightful, Seven carloads of enthusiastic sightseers were carried all over the history of the city to see, with their own eyes, such memorable spots as the Boston City Hall, the state house, the famous Boston Museum and the place where he fell.

The "live wire" of the week was W. Alexander Johnson, the youthful, charismatic, and well-known No. 1. He is a "hail fellow, well met," a born organizer of men, and fits into his job as snugly as a lady's glove, and as a "hail fellow," and the "hear great," and gave everybody the "cheery smile" and the "glad hand." He was an owner of a school where he drew the difference between night and day—just worked all the time, and at anything his hands would meet at night—and the first one we would greet the next morning on the school bus. He and the country is destined to help more of him. Mrs Mary L. Johnson, his estimable "help-meet," is also affable and a beauty culture school on Tremont street and does a gilt-edge business. Her address on the practical side of the business is most scholarly presentations heard during the great session. The "thriller" of the welcome addresses was that delivered Wednesday at the Attorney-General of the United States. His eulogium on the relation of the two men to the race and invitation to journey with him through an allegorical jauteur to the world-wide conflicts, in which the darker peoples of the earth give earthly guidance to their sittened an oratorical gem "of the purest ray serene. A rich vein of humor and wit, the man who converted the grace and the gay into a delicious intellectual salad that satisfied every appetite. Mr. Lewis met it and mastered it. He was warmly congratulated by all. It was a great success, and many great speeches, but in none did he hit the mark more squarely than on this eventful morning. It was a hard adversity. It was one that will live. The banquet given by the Boston Business League Tuesday night at the University of Pennsylvania, the custers and executive committee of the National League was attended by 100 men and 100 women, pronounced by those who have followed the League for many years to the University of Pennsylvania, kind yet experienced.

He could not anyone and he was able to pay for from anyone, white or black, who desired to sell. A solid speech—one that told of a business that strikes close to the family, heartsthistone—was the manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, with headquarters at Durham, North Carolina. The financial financier of Durham, is president of the association. Mr. Spaulding is also vice-president as well as manager, and Dr. A. M. Moore, whose standing as a financial officer has retained and treasurer. The corporation was organized in 1899. The first year's business amounted to $440. Steady growth has increased, until today, just closing its 16th year, its business totals $444, for the year. The company operates in three states and gives employment to over 700 persons in the offices and in Selda.

The evidence of the public that the company values most. This is fundamental and the N. C.

Georgia offers a fruitful field for missionary work. Dr. Booker T. Washington is to make a tour of Kentucky. The National Negro Business League "got there with both feet" at Boston. "Mashing" is now unlawful in New York but the awful practice will cease, of course. Ira T. Bryan will be an interesting figure at the next general conference of the A. M. E. church. Prof. C. H. Moore, national organizer, thinks mighty well of Roanoke, Va., as a center of business activity among colored people. Contiguous districts for bishops and the establishment of Episcopal residences will be big issues at the Zion conference at Louisville next May. There was no evidence at Columbus that Gen. Joseph L. Jones lost any of his titles when he was robbed of that case at a New York hotel last year. --- Chicago has done its best to redeem the reputation of the Negro as an exposition promoter—that is, some of the promoters were on the level, and really exhibit that was a credit to the race. Captive critics of Booker T. Washington are wasting their time. Let them do as well along their own line of thought before they venture to find fault with the work of the "Tuskegee Wizard." No one is surprised that the jury found that, too, Frank came to his despair, the man of parties known, "etc. Twas ever thus when jury and lyncher have been brought into business relations. The emancipation exposition at Chicago seems to be a real show—a shining example of the progress of the race in fifty years of freedom and largely becoming the Negro from the roaring frenzy pulled off at Richmond by one Jackson. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Birmingham and Kaleigh are cities of the Midwest. They are also the trained the National Negro Business League. Let their magnates get busy. The inspiration such an organization brings to a town is worth many times the money expended. It is funny how a fellow who "can't life up to the people who are alive" is at the figure, manages to survive on $40 per month when he is reduced to such remuneration. Wouldn't a business manager be paid $75 per month and save at least $25, investing the surplus in a growing business enterprise that would eventually yield a comfortable income? The colored people of the country have no love for the jitney bus promoters and are glad when the streetcars are up to the regulations governing common carriers or be forced out of business. The jitney is invariably a jimmy car, permitted to thrive. The day of the jitney will be short and deservedly so. --- Mrs. Grace R. Moreland, widow of the late Dr. John F. Moreland, who died in 2013, is the faculty of the A. M. E. Zion church, has donated 1,000 for a "John F. Mortland Chapel," and is the formation of his sons, and then will be perpetuated in the education of deserving students in Livingston College, the premier school of the Zion denomination. Some papers advise that grafters be informed if they are ignorant about the grafters want. To The presentations at the Columbus encampment of the K. of P. were embalmed in a large silver preme Chancellor S. W. Green was given a solid gold jewel, an insignia of his office. Supreme Worthy Counselor Calanthe, was presented with a solid silver cup, the gift of the Alabama delegation honored H. C. Bryant, Jr. grandson of the Supreme Worthy Counselor, with a diamond ring. Why not a larger representation of Negro workers in the shoe and knitting factories of New England and in the textile industry of vanilla? It is settled that thousands of colored workers are to leave the south for the next few years must find places in the gainful occupations of the north. Why not start an aggressive campaign to recruit men and women in the great factories of the north? The Newport News (Va.) Star, one of the best-edited papers in the country, is a professor at time in urging a larger degree of reliability in employees in colored business establishments. The young man or woman should be as scrupulous in the matters of the work as in the morning, keeping as steadily on the job and laboring at all times in the interests of the business. The teacher, over the white man, can reliably and reliable help the crying need of the Negro business man. Gov. Capper of Kansas, is a prohibitionist from his heart. He has laid down a regulation that no man who drinks can secure or hold a government office in Kansas. The law of Kansas. The governor's order calls for the resignation of any employee if he takes a drink at his own home or stays in Kansas City, just out of town. William Allen White to ask "What's the matter with Kansas?" What has effervescent Nick Chiles to say show? The sensible southern farmer will not again depend solely on cotton, war or no war. Gen. J. S. Carr, of North Carolina, will look up to as a 'guide, counselor and friend,' says his state will produce this year, besides a fine cotton crop, a cottonseed oil, and gifted products. He says he expects to raise 4,000 bushels of wheat on less than 200 acres, and that others will do as well. He says the south will be the colored farmer of the south, who should greater need of ready money than General Carr does. The startling news has gone forward that the Philadelphia General Conference of the A. M. E. church may not make any new bishops. This is not the case, and take notice. Not only would such a decision bring consternation to those who wish to be bishops, but to those who wish to be bishops in places vacated by the men promoted. The economists seek to save $30,000 in salaries and claim that the church can get along for four years with the staff of bishops. Is this heresy, or not? Rev. W. H. Jernigan, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist church, Washington, D. C., has issued an unique circular, suggestive toon, that right-thinking people should lay aside bundles of "favorite excuses" marked the death, "domestic cares," business care, "sickness," pride, etc., and come to the House of God on Sunday, where, he says, everyone will find "rest" under happy, and encouraging circumstances. One and should be widely circulated by those who think a "day of rest" means idling at home or engaging in some unworthy pursuit. It is pleasant to note that Speaker Champ Clark, by firmness and rare courage, prevented a mob at Bowling Green man charged with killing a white farmer in a pitchfork fight. Mr. Clark halted the mob in its mad career, plead guilty, and so convinced the gang that he was right that they dispersed. The colored people of the country have allowed his for his breadth of vision as a statesman and as a friend of American fair play. They will admire him all the more from now on, in view of his gallant victory and order at his Bowling Green home. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Youngstown, Ohio --- --- --- . . . *** --- --- by difficulties. He enjoys the fullest confidence of the right-thinking people of both races. * Dr. Jasper Tapper Phillips, one of Nashville's leading physicians, after a visit to Montgomery, Ala., speaks in the most optimistic tone of the progress that is being made by the race in Nashville in capital. He voiced his observations in an document and thoughtful address at the Williams Chapel C. M. E. church in that city, where his itinerary included Birmingham, Ala., and Baptist Sunday School Congress and, in association with Dr. W. P. Landers, performed a number of delicate surgical procedures. Dr. Phillips is a "live wire" at Nashville in the movement for civic advancement or racial uplift is complete without him. An exchange says the men who "misconduct" the affairs of the Gallilean estate, certainly were adepts at covering tracks and finger-prints effectively, and goes on to state that "the circuit was most rigid scrutiny, returned a verdict that it is utterly impossible to find and analyze the $4,000 or more which the bank wished to disappear somewhere and somehow during the life of the bank of Gallilea it seems. As fisherman it seems, the Gallilean它 celebrated "Izaak Walton" look like a selling plater. Some colored bank-ware no better than some white bankers. Indianapolis is to have a first-class hotel for the accommodation of colorful guests, with investment, containing eighty-five rooms with thoroughly modern appointments, including elevator service, Chicago hotel, and a fully-equipped Brown, adding to the fairly-adequate equipment of the town. At Philadelphi, the hotel is known as the Roadside, Boston sits out well to the front with the Melbourne, conducted by J. R. Rossetter, the manager, much-needed $100,000 colored hostelry in Harlem. The Age, New York News, reports, and keep this matter constantly before the moneyed men of Colored New York. Rev. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the Baptist Foreign Mission at the session of the National Baptist Convention in Chicago. His campaign years ago to be waged along particularly expressive hearts heartily endorsed by the convention. One thousand tons of foodstuff have been sent in recent months to Baptist hospitals in other states is making a strenuous effort to duplicate the order for workers in other fields. Dr. Jordan is the showing at the convention of charts indicating the present status of the community and the industrial arena and showing the scope of its operations may be enlarged. It is said that the leading candidates for the Zion bishopric, Drs. J. S. Jackson and G. C. Clement, are pledged to the plan of contiguous districts and to the plan of congenial neighborhoods, though both have beautiful homes among congenial neighbors, their friends say they are prepared to move to whatever the conference sets plan for an epiphany in Louis, Louisville, Chicago, Birmingham, Houston, Texas, and other strategic points are asking for a resident bishop, of the successful aspirants for the bench to find as pleasant a home in the cities mentioned as they now enlist a bishop should live among the people of the district over which he presides.

Wading beautifully into winter at this writing. Not knee deep as yet, to use poet Riley’s expression, but the progress is interestingly percept- ible, At the rate the allies are using money they will lick up a billion in a jiffy. Why not respend some of the money they are putting out? Who gets the money? ‘The A. M. E. conference, which held forth at Bethel church, this city, last week, was one of interest. ‘The new appointments have been made, and from all accounts were gener- ally satisfactory. ‘The Freeman's exposition number will be an effort to include the repre- sentative of the race, whether of men or affairs. It will come from the press during the holidays. It will be an addition to the festival of commemoration for achievement dur- ing the past fifty years of our exist- ence as a freed people. ‘The latest note from “Germany is that strict orders have Deen. giyen to submarine commanders to let fin- ers pass unattacked when in doubt. ‘The object is to run no risks of making mistakes. If the program is lived up to much of the present un- pleasantness between the two coun- tring ‘will Wisenpest. ‘The Chicago exposition closed in a blaze of glory. The Windy City has a way of doing big things. And that is not buncombe. Chicago is a ‘Negro haven, From early youth the ambitious Negroes have that city in mind as a place of residence, or at least, to visit. It means the gather- ing of a wide-awake energetic mass that other cities, logically, can not have. Big’ burgoo feast for the Republic- an clans was pulled off at the State Fair Grounds last Wednesday. Ken- tucky burgoo fs a soup of distinc- tion, and which has for some reason become associated with _ political gatherings, especially when there are to be high resolves. Leading poll- ticlans of the state, from governors down, enjoyed the ‘outing. Speech- making and hand-shaking on the part of the candidates were a part of the program. Mr, Bryan is against making more efficient the army and navy. This is in accord with his peace program. ‘Most of us are for peace. We may never again have use for a large army, but who knows anything about it? Mr, Bryan's views concerning such matters have no particular value. His influence, of course, can greatly obstruct the plan of military efficiency. The only guide in such matters is past and present history, together with the trend of the present-day thoughts of men. Many political workers of this community are having some fine re views of the business during the present trial of Mayor Bell and oth: ers for election frauds. ‘There are some politicians who will not see their own reflections as the trial progresses, but we don’t think that it is the rule. We have in mind the hustlers about the polls. It's a rare one, indeed, if he fails to find any fof the evidence brought out as some part of his own experiences. In the language of Ingersoll, the past, rises before them like a dream. And then again, after Col, Henry Watterson, we imagine they have it, “Let the galled jade wince, we thank God that our withers are unwrung. WHO GETS THE MONEY? ‘There is an old saying that the mill will never grind the grain with the water that has passed. But in theory it does that very thing in view of the ever recurring rains with the ‘ocean as the one great source. Vast sums of money are required to main. tain armies in the fields as can be seen at this time when the great ‘Buropean governments seem to be at their wits end to provide the neces. sary funds. Other countries have had the same dificulty, the Anancial stringency, when it appeared that the vast sums so generously poured into the channels of circulation were lost forever. ‘The ery always has been for more money by warring gov. ernments, One feels to ask the ques: tion, who gets the money? ‘The vast amounts spent in main. taining armies, it seems, should find its way readily back to the govern: ment to be used over and over again, But the fact seems to be that a com: paratively few men reap the enor mous benefits of war in a money sense. Poor Tommy Atkins saves but small amount if he has. the oportunity to spend it. And if some of the soldiers save largely the money is generally forwarded to the home to care for those they leave be hind them, consequently it finds its way again into circulation, and im mediately. ‘So the conclusion’ must be that the big business concerns are the bene ficlarfes of great wars. In the pres ent war this is so notably true that the British government has found it necessary to excessively tax large business interests, especialy _ those that manufacture munitions of war, ‘This excessive taxation seems dras tic, and of course, unusual, but, nev- ertheless, its logical thing to do in view of the immense sums that the government is spending with those concerns. very great war in civ- flized countries creates a crop of new very rich men who win through the distress of their governments. We are not aware of an instance where those that reaped so largely were re- quired to do more thah others by way of government support. Heretofore general taxation has helped in raising funds for war pur- poses, in our own country and pre- sumably elsewhere. ‘This so-called equal distribution of the burden, while manifestly fair was another in- stance where fair was false. The poor man has always complained that he bore the burden of taxation. And in a way this is true. In the case of war this is particularly true, even if the comparative few only’ reap the vast war profits. If the British government carries out its scheme of making the big concerns disgorge @ part of their large profits it will be no more than the beantiful thing of equity although not lodged in governmental princt- ples. There is no way of ascertain. ing the views of the management of those concerns, but it stands to rea- son that they know that they are draining the country of its resources. consequently could not reasonably complain of injustice when compelled to help the government maintain it- self in a struggle on account of which they benefit so largely. ‘The soldier in the field, after all is the man. He gives his all—more than money—his life. Nor is this the end of it. He sacrifices his family; his children are scattered to the winds, A miserly pension follows, it is true, but it merely suffices to stay hunger, if that. The British government has hit on a proper method of getting back some of the millions it is so generously sending into circulation. GILES B. JACKSON VINDICATED. It is now being said that Giles B. Jackson, manager of the late lament- ed exposition at Richmond, Va., made a brilliant coup when he was haled up before an_ investigating committee anent the affairs of said exposition, It is being said that he was able to show good and faithful accounts of his transactions, and fa splendid balance to the tune of $16,000. And this is heralded forth a5 his vindication. "True enough, ‘some publications suspected irregularity in Mr, Jack son's finances, but ‘The Freeman made no such intimation. It charged ‘gross mismanagement, and which de feated the success of the exposition. ‘That's the thing to talk to, and not correct accounts and splendid bal- ances, Had he spent some of his $16,000 perhaps, the show would have made good, answering its great pur pose, and which was not to see how many dollars could be turned over at the last asoouming: | a ie said specifically that mz jackion borned ‘hs, publication durjng the preparation for the expo: sitlogy He loaded it heavily with matter concerning it, and which, more than ‘likely, was not done gratis He sald that, the publication was here to stay, floated it from the mast, as ifhe half suspected that the: respectability of its birth was quegttoned--- ‘We are pleased to know that his accgumts were? found to be regular and that the old carry-all of sun. dries were fot necessary to bolste: up things, that fs, if this was not necessary. But that is beside the questjon. ‘The exposition should not have made the miserably poor show ing.,, It was the thing in which to havé Been most interested—the suc cess of the undertaking, Tnithe mame of the race it is well that there was no defalcation. ‘The failure was a signal disgrace—a na tional disgrace, as little as we may charge had been added. The splendi¢ success of the Chicago exposition wa: necessary to neutralize that blight to offset it, and with a surplusage o} good, or else the race would stand charged today with a stupidity that i searcely Jess thar criminal. We thank Mr. Jackson for manag ing to keep out of the toils, and which required the least of his et forts, His failure to make the ex position go remains as rank as ever. Tegardless of the funds he returned to the coffers of the state. JOHN MILHOLLAND. An enthusiastic admirer of John Milholland, sociologist, sent to this office a few days ago a recent issue of The Bulletin, an inguential weekly publication of San Francisco contain- ing an article from the pen of Mr. Milholland on the Negro question which covers the entire front page of that journal: ‘The admirer asked us to give our view of the article. We find it impossible to review the contribution with anything like the satisfactory way we are led to be Heve the gentleman expects. ‘The article is not only lengthy for the kind, it brings in much matter which answers the object of the writer, we will say, but which is not such as we think proper for com- ment in this paper. For instance Mr, Milholland deals largely in Bib- Heal matter, insisting that democ- racy was first suggested by a black man, the object being to show in- gratitude for the present status of the Negroes in this country. One can see that that is not a question for argument since it is a conclusion caught up of Biblical narrative. Mr. Milholland rushes down the records of men Who have been quoted as the author of the present day de- moeraty, likean abstract of titles ‘man, uniil. ke reaches the ‘great first cause.” He cites Thomas, Jefferson, ‘Thomas ‘Paine, the Magna Charta of ‘King John, Hampton and ‘Cromwell, Mirabeau, "Danton, Rousseau, Aris- totle, Plato, Pericles and Moses, end- ing with Jethro, the Ethiopean priest of Michian, the fatherinlaw of Moses. He says: “Jethro saw the foundations of the Amprlean Republic, and every effort to- ward democracy that the world has Seen. throughout the intervening years, All of this is told interestingly and to a purpose, but as we intimated it is beyond the seope of ordinary news- paper discussion. By ingenious art gument he shows that Jethro start- ed the democratic ball a rolling. He quotes Hberally from the Bible in support of his views, after which he said: ‘There you have the genesis of every democracy that the world has seen, here you have the Kerm of one of the great ideas that ‘have influenced the human race. And you've got to trace it right back to that old Ethio- plan priest whose daughter Moses took Unto himself as wife. It is not our business to call at- tention to Mr. Milholland’s argument owing to his views, They are as THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. likely to be right as those of other men, If he sees democracy’s seed sown by Jethro, the Ethiopian, it s in kind with many notions gotien of the Bible, and which are now great principles of organizations. The va- rious churches owe their origin to the varied views of men concerning what the Bible says. Mr. Milholland after quitting his Biblical discourse discuses the race question much as it is discussed by other thinkers, both white and col- ored. He makes this very sage ob- servation: “these joyous people, who inherit Joy at birth, that which we only get when sitting “on the starboard side of a cream lay-out or a tuttl frutu. "This Stark’ Tapley. quality in ‘the colored Face is overwhelming, If it were not, Slavery, and the aftermath of slavery, through which they are now passing, would have made them misanthropes, or anarchists, of in some form enemies of ‘established society. What other face would put up. with what ‘they have suffered and stil. remain good citizens, and loyal to the government that refuses to protect thelr lives and thelr property?” What the writer says has been said in various ways and at various times by most every observing thoughtful Negro and also by many white men. ‘The quality of joy is inherent in the ‘race, and has been its salvation. It was so judiciously placed that it seems as if the result of Heaven's reflection or deliberation, the butt- ress against the rushing avalanche of destruction. Time, opportunity and the resultant transformation are playing their part in striking out this erstwhile saving quality. That is to say, the Negroes are rapidly assum- ing their whole responsibility in the world, practically free and untram- melled, meaning the absence of the extra imposition of men, by way of enslavement, that soul Killing condi- tion which sets up its insigna of of- fice in the physiognomy of mankind. In other words, slavery brutalizes soul and body, and hence the coun- teractant with which our people are s0 largely endowed was the saving necessity. ‘The writer's intent was not in this Girection—a strict sociological treat- ment of the Negro race. He, how- ever, let fall many expressions which readily suggest enlargement. He had in mind the denial of Negro sut- frage, the free participation in that democracy, which, as he says, one of their kind'had the forsight to see as the best government for man in gen eral. ‘When he says that another people than the Negroes under the circum- stances would have soured on civil- ization, becoming anarchists in. the worst sense, attempting the destruc- tion of the’ thing to which they gained no admission, the observa tion may or may not be compliment. ary to the race. Perhaps the idea of unrest Is not to be encouraged even by naming it. It is apparent that a sort of soul unrest is on in the Ne- gro race and which naturally follows education and enlightenment. Slavery, the Civil War, are reced- ing from old memories; the new ones know nothing of those things, think- ing of them as traditions and of which they had no part. It means that the new Negro will be mighty impatient with his narrow conditions until they greatly increase. He needs no en- couragement in view of the steady growth in one way or the other. His harrow ways are increasing in spite of the noise and bluster in order to Keep up the show of the old order of things. The Negroes, without doubt, are marching into the newness of light. In the twilight now, but ere Jong, its full flood of noon will en compass when suffrage and the rest of it will be theirs as they are other men. Of course there are dangers ahead. They must prove worthy o! their hope and prospects, or they wil turn will-o'-the-wisps. We said in the beginning that there was no way to properly com: ment on Mr. Milholland’s article. We have spoken to it in part, enlarging on what he had to say rather than commenting. ‘The article is a splen- did contribution of loyalty to the whole people and to the genius of our government whose fundamental prin- ciples are to see one man as an- other before the law and institutions, so far as it concerns race, color ot previous condition of servitude.

As usual and expected, large crowds turned out to see another good edition of the theater. The opening act was Elnora Wilson, of the former team of Wilson and the other band, and she made good, but we must have to shake and turn over our stuff else the people are going to become as pictures are fast becoming so popular that if they don't bring new songs and new ideas they will be eliminated entirely.

Denth Takes “Pork Chops” Band Frank Polk, probably the best-known colored musician in Cincinnati, died on Monday morning, after a long illness. He was about fifty years old and gained fame as the leader and bass viol player of the “Pork Chops” band. Polk lived on Sixth, near Cincinnati, and was a heart disease. Polk’s organization of musicians was in constant demand. Mr. Polk was born in Richmond, Indiana, and grew up in Cincinnati, playing the different resorts until his nickname, “Pork Chops,” was hung on to him, to be carried through college.

They are the pioneers of the stage of Old Virginia and the original stick dance in their act. Richard B.

George Cooper, late of Cooper & Robinson, and Chris Smith, the composer, was invited to the recital week, and it is reported that they did a nice, classy act. Cooper & Smith are on the United time.

Negro soldiers rescued a white captive from the Indians, China, during the war from 1850 to the Present, with forty people. Charles H. Moore, Benny Jones, Connellly, Gladis Fisher, Justin McKinney, John McKinney, Hawksworth, known as Kid Falcon, led the walk. James A. Lillard was Tom Lemonier, musical composer and director, and James White, pianist. Messrs. H. W. Lyons and J. W.

The Bob Russell & Billy Owens stock company, which has been playing at the Monogram, had star people in the cast, the actress, and the actor, pany qualify in point of legitimacy or completeness. It will be impossible to me to review the plays this week, owing to the lack of important matter presented, but I do expect at a later date, for an example of the imperfection and lack of study of the characters, when an older actor goes back. Miss Lyhian Brown was the one star of the company who showed superior art in the plays, and I regret to state that the drawback with the Monogram theaters is caused by the ignorant desire of the manager to just not just reason. This is a hindrance to the success of the actors. The effort to keep the critic away from the house is a commercial reason and one in particular, because these columns later on. Not for personal reasons. I have no personal reason to the interest of the ladies, colored race, and the number in proportion more than the white ladies, in Chicago. Chicago's Late Colored Trunk Mystery Murder. The body of the woman that was found in a trunk that had been driven into an open top above Thirty-sixth place, or above Thirty-sixth place, on children at play, before it was interred Friday, September 17. was discovered by Mrs. Bragg, who is Mrs. Minnie Bragg. The found body was beaten with a razor and throat cut. William Brown, a local expressman, who had been in the trunk, moved the trunk, and he is librarian. He is veilence, E. W. Bragg, who hired the expressman, and who is said to be the husband of the murdered woman, has been found in the trunk. Bragg and his wife were found in the trunk. It is believed that Bragg had taken his steps back to cover the body, but fled and had not been caught as we went to press. Bragg, who is said to be the owner of the banker and real estate agent, upon investigation is said to be Binga's decorator. Mrs. Bragg, according to Binga, is the Ark, but is known in Kansas City, Mo., where her sister for some unexplained reason desired to move the body. No motive for the crime is yet unearthed. SEEING MILLER BROS.' 101 RANCH PROF. L. LEEKER AND HIS RANCH. As usual in the city, thousands of persons gathered along the main street on the morning of September 11 to see a man in a suit, Bros. Ranch. Rare because it breathes deep with historical America, and of which we never see, were young we were excited by the story trail of the red men. Middle age and old age scarcely serve to make such a difference. The cowboy, the American Cossack, that picturesque addition to the country's life, has made a hit, and who, when he was excited, won a place in the affections of all the people if not in history? He still holds his own in the picture shows all over the country. Then looking of seeing him in real life—that's the time! Of course, real life is glamour. Glamour is good to its good to the original now and then. Indians or cowboys in life could not interest us every day. Let them come as they do, now and then, and we Then think of the cowboy girl, that requisite femininity, that is the one in cestacy. Women and the saddle have always been a most unique combination, and reserve, rather than otherwise—a sort of aristocracy, and to which only a few are invited. To that in itself is a romance. But use these things, the riders in all possible positions, and its worth a day's journey to The Sideshow, The Features—Prof. L. K. Belkowski, Band, the Minstrels. Baker's Band I said at another time that the show management be the very thankful for colored people. They are certainly loyal to the sideshows. This occasion was not apparent to others. Our race was out in force. We were under the management of The levitation woman was there, rushing still the wonder of our curious minded throngs. How she does it gets clean past us all. Homer Herrick is what might be called a sideshow stock juggler. He does not paint. He has hundreds we have all seen. The men are necessities—must be kept in stock. Henry Gunther, who is beautifully done all over in ink, does tattooing for a small consideration. The sign reads "paint. Roosevelt spelling could as well as without payin'." He gets his, however. Amelia, the tall German girl, strikes one as he enters and, as much for her beauty as for her height, 7 feet 2 inches, weight 225 pounds. In fact, one forgets that he is going to her very wholesome appearance. Miss Sylva has the snakes water repellants are the subject, without doubt some of the finest specimens seen in captivity. She fondles them as if they were alive, and they have a sense at all, they must love her. If snakes can be beautiful, then these are. Notes. The show has recently returned from the New England states. Prof. L. K. Baker sends regards to Prof. R. R. Pope, Jas. Woolcales and Harris and Eason. Elwood C.
