Hale Thompson, the deputy judges of the political observers that he will be one of the "favorite sons" of Illinois for President of the United States. The Mayor arrives next day to make a great speech. He was met by thousands of people and a big automobile parade was formed and escorted him to his hand. He was at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. chureh, when the Rev. Carey was pastor that Mr. Thompson made his first speech. He was at Institutional church where he made his last speech as a private citizen and was running for Mayor. Dr. Thompson was an international friend and he will be one of the Mayor's stauenest friends and supporters when his campaign is launched. He was a welcome to his "home town." Hon. E. H. Wright, an Assistant Corporation Counsel, was there with the "gird hand" to give a speech to the deputy judges. Priest, who was a member of the Mayor's party to California, received a warm welcome to his "nave head" to other appointees of the Mayor was present at the station. Chance to Campaign. Mayor Thompson's candidacy for national committeeman gives him a great opportunity to campaign Illinois. This will make him a great big figure. He will make a big difference in the street car strike, the closing of saloons on Sunday, each followed by extended tours in the West, where he has been a national hero today, are to be succeeded by more moves that will place the mayor in the limelight. There is no doubt that he will be a strong supporter, sustains a big part of the voting strength in the North and West will line up for the Mayor. Every man of the city will be a strong supporter to give his support to the man who has dared to stand up for justice and right toward the Negro. Who will not be delivered at the Semi-Centennial Exposition. It was so sound and logical, so rave and fearless, that many of his calls called him to action. He was delivered at the Semi-Centennial Exposition. It was so sound and logical, so rave and fearless, that many of his calls called him to action. He was delivered at the Semi-Centennial Exposition. He took high ground; manhood and manhood's rights toward the "man and brother." Mayor Thompson said he would take action if the race and he said publicly that he did it because he wanted to help the race up and not to degrade it, that he would not be a slave, that he no apology to make. This is the man that is the "favorite son" of Illinois. Refers to Presidency Defends "Lid" Order. "I walked the floor for a couple of days and nights before I took that step," he said. "I went to the Mayo's club Sunday, I had no feeling against liquor, but enforced the law. All my life I have respected the law, and I am not going to die because the Mayo's club took the position before the United States that he rather favored forgetting Sunday closing law if only he could return to the Mayo's chair. The sheer power and State's attorney are democrats. The Republicans are for enforcement of the law, while the Mayo's leadership" The Mayor's speech was warmly received with yells of "Hurrah for Thompson for President." There is no doubt he as the Willie Nelson leader of the Thompson club. When the campaign for Mayor Thompson is launched and according to his close friends he as the Willie Nelson leader of the Thompson club. When he all over the country. Already they are being formed in this city known as the Mayo's Thompson Club" to boost him for the highest honor in the gift of the American people. There is one thing certain: if the friends of the Mayo's sin an active campaign in his behalf there is no "favorite son" in any State who has grown so high in the estimation race as William Hate Thompson.

The Negro population is the most prominent to the appearance of the show in this city.

The Universal News Co., 2319 Mar- ket, Street. (By Clayborne Shelby.) Special to The Freeman. ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The convention was held at the Central Baptist church, with Mrs. Mary Goins, the chair. The meeting was conducted as good or far better than a great many of our spiritual meetings, in any class, white or colored women, and of families, also delivered a grand lecture in the interest of Christian welfare. Gentleman, it was marvelous to see an old man with bright and colored women send their ideas on the race question.

Great benefits have been derived from this grand session in regard to the race question. Dr. C. R. McDowell and Rev. R. C. Campbell lent a helping hand. **Methodist in Convention.** Bishop H. B.

Our leaders should not ever begin it, a funny comedy that ever began. It seems they are handicapped by the leading powers of our city and we are showing just as little interest as we have and put more than that over our heads. With the assistance of this play, the city leader is shot to the measly segregation bill. A very little, we think, of this fact, but we may be mistaken by the need we need more protestants in the race. The Freeman can be bought at the Universal News Co., 2219 Market street.

Italy has also declared war against Bulgaria. Perhaps that country will now get deeper into the fight. Carranza has been recognized by several powers.

Have you noticed, too, that quinine has gone up? Presilent Wilson and party, while in Virginia, a few days ago, were served a good old fashioned meal in a place kept by colored people. When it comes to cooking appetizingly it takes good old Aunt Chloe or some of the rest of them to do it. President Wilson, contrary to expec- tations, not only stands for the pro- gram of defense of the country as thought out by the leading members of congress and the nation in general. He goes one better in that he stands for the yery limit. ‘The entente cor- diale may de due to, his. felicitous mood anent his prospective connubial- ism. Well, it does nof matter how it comes, it is plain enough that this country needs to be better prepared for an emergency. Our isolation is greatly to be relied on, it means very much, but it is not the whole thing. European military training is now practically a fine art. Nothing’ is left undone that would make for the effi ciency of the soldiers. ‘The same may be said of the navy. We are wonder- ful in resources, in raw material; an- other reason for our erstwhile satis- factory feeling. We are thoroughly eonvineed at this time that we are not prepared to meet a great foreign army, and we are thoroughly con- vinced that it is possible to have war with some well prepared country. THE EXPOSITION NUMBER. ‘The Freeman is busy at this time preparing for its exposition number, which will be issued during the holt: days. The object is to supplement the work of the various expositions in celebrating the fifty years’ end of the achievements of the race as @ free people. ‘The newspapers have made some effort in furthering the idea of cele- bration, and which was very com: mendable, We think that, owing to the reputation and popularity of our publication, it is up to us also to help out in giving emphasis to the period. Semi-centennials are very far apart, and while it is not absolutely necessary to celebrate them, yet it’s the ways of civilization, A’ thought. ful, reflective, thankful nation like the individual will count the most in the long run. ‘Our object is to set forward the representative achievements of the race pictorially, in Words, covering ev- ery class of meritorious endeavor, so that the reflection will be no less than an epic, the race in miniature. ‘The staff of contributors whose names will be published in the near future will stand respectively as in- dexes of their subject. That is, they will speak with authority from the fact that they will be those who have made success of their various under- takings. We are busy soliciting for the repre- sentation, and we hope there will be response in kind, in Keeping with the undertaking. So far we have met with flattering success, Those re. ceiving a letter from us will confer @ great favor if they will answer promptly as the time is short for the work which has been mapped out. RESPECTING OUR OWN. When the country was just begin- ning to be the church people were known for their rigid diselpline— austere manners in the church houses. In some of them there were officers who marched up and down the aisles, when necessary, prodding with a long stick the sleepers, and menacing oth- ers who threatened to break over the lind Of decorum: It was a sort of chute censorship. are’ times when one thinks tute show houses need Pcatvtala ofthe ind. Not a0 much for the sleepers, who while an- noying enough, @o most injury to themselves, or, perhaps, to the house, because they, snore sweetly through several shows, even when seats are at a premium, The censorship is needed for those who think only of themselves. A low murmur of voices, despeaking ‘an appreciative interest in what they see, is good to hear. But when individuals entertain two or three rows of persons with gen- eral news and matter that should be private, it 1s time to call a halt. This condition, happily, is not the rule, it, however, {s too’ often for the good of, the race, Thoughtful, observant persons can not help asking the question, men- tally or otherwise, would the same thing occur if these persons were in the downtown picture houses? It 80, could we very well blame the management for keeping us out of them; that's the point we are driving at, Do you get it? Suppose every- thing 1s correct inthe down town houses as it generally appears, then it is a reflection om the race to take that advantage in houses run by oti own people. Until the race members pay the race members the same kin¢ of respect in similar places that they pay members of the white race, they needn't be surprised at a turn down at the doors’ of the white concerns. The ostrich hides its head merely, and thinks its great form hidden. With a Uttle thought the application will be seen, THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. ters were sent to 10,000 papers in all parts of the country requesting that ‘they answer two. questions. ‘One to determine the editorial at titude toward the proposition and the other to discover the sentiment of the community: represented. ‘A total of 526 replies were received.

This agitation has not made their claims stronger and more logical, but it has opened the eyes to transpiring events by way of the increasing importance of women in affairs, Years ago, in tha very, sentimental days, women had but small share in-business con cerns, The lady of quality, who set the pattern for sisters, never thought of standing out in the sense of citi zenship. In tact, the common men had but little show at the ballot box in the olden days of England, ‘The com mon men came into their own because of their increased importance in pub lie affairs, the property owning and business pursuits being mainly what boosted them into the greater citi zenship. Our countrymen, those o the United States, began practically on the ground floor. There was nc preferred citizenship, due, of course to the genesis of the country, wher ownership of the soil was the grea objective and the great opportunity ‘The women, however, made no ad. vance, nor did they claim it, nor had they anything on which to base thei claims. The man was the lord and the woman, true to our first concep tions as to her estate, nestled with out protest within his keeping. ‘The unexpected has. happened. The wom an has gotten away from her ancient fastenings. Even the harem ladies are forsaking their veils. In many of the European countries where they were the very angels of docility where they have done the treadmill turns of domesticity for centuries, have become imbued with the new life—not predicated on a baseless change of sentiment, but on the fact that they have moved out into the places that men occupy. ‘The result in the election in New Jersey shows clearly the trend. Agi- tation based on the women’s share in affairs has caused the revolution of sentiment. ‘They did not win the election but they won thousands of adherents such as were not thought possible a dozen years ago. The woman’s new position in affairs is the unexpected, the unexpected voting privilege goes along with it. THAT PICTURE PLAY AGAIN. Says a news item’ in a Chicago daily of recent date, “It is the hope of producers of ‘The Birth of a Na- tion’ that they will be able to over- come the restriction against admis: sion of children, set by Chicago's official censors, was announced today. ‘The presence in Chicago of A. H. P. Barzhas of New York, secretary and treasurer of the producing company and personal attorney of David W. Griffith, indicated that a move will be made to that end, probably this week.” Perhaps, it may be as well as con- eluded that the “Birth of a Nation" plague is not going to be effectually stampeded. Here and there, now and then, the show is fought to a finish, being put out of commission, but just the same it is still in evidence, and, perhaps, will be as long as the pro- moters care to have it so. ‘The management of the theatre where the play was to be produced gave ft out that there was such a great demand on the part of teachers and parents of children to have the restriction lifted that it thought the case would be carried to court. ‘This seems to us 2 much ado about noth- ing. ‘We have not seen the production, but we understand that there is noth- ing vulgarly offensive, at least, in the sense that the pictures are, any more repulsive for the children than older persons, nor are they any more dan- gerous in the sense of sentiment teaching. That the censors inveighed against the picture at all is condem- nation sufficient to justify the ill opinion of them entertained by the Negroes. The producers had this to say in defense of their probable ac- tion at court: “The action will be taken, however, largely in response to numerous re- quests from schools, from parents, from persons generally who think that the restriction, against children was placed by us. “On the contrary, we feel that the film contains nothing objectionable to even the youngest children, and noth. ing that wou ge it unworthy of public performange before any class of people, of whatever age.” If this be’ the case, what leg has the censors to stand on in forbidding the children the privilege of seeing the pictures? We will admit that we have made considerable hurrah without knowing Just what the production is. We have ‘chimed in with the lay of lament of ‘our people whom we gave credit for knowing what they were talking about. We have been made to under- ‘stand that the pictures show, among other things, the political activity of the Negroes in the South when they were but a few days from slavery, and that section was smarting under the sting of defeat in war, and the fairly reversed condition; at that time, of the slave and master classes. Such scenes should not be sprung at this time in view of fts intense racial feeling. ‘The sections, North and South are very ‘careful about keeping the hatchet buried, Montments to confederate heroes are being built or contemplated to decorate the com- mon war fields. This in the, interest of that beautiful sentiment, “Let the dead past bury its dead.” ‘The North THE FREEMAN, AN-ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and South have become ‘cemented into a bond of unity, fraternalism being the master word. ‘There would not be'permitted # pic ture show, or any exhibition whatso- ever that set forth anything which ‘could be construed as comparing the rélations of the sections in a way that reflected on either of them. The moving pictures ‘which present. Civil War scenes are the result of the ut- most caution. Such being the case, ‘why should men seek to trade on the things which hurt a race? There should be as much interest in keep- ing down friction between races as between sections. Ugly teminders are dug up to show the race when it was least prepared to take part in public affairs, holding the thing over our heads as a sin whose pen- alty was unescapable.. Is there method. in it? "Repulsiye” relation- ship is shown as existing between the races, or as anticipated and ex- pected by the Negroes in face of the one opinion of the white nation as it concerns amalgamation. ¢ Much more insinuating stuft is shown, we understand, none of which ig meant to make for that broad peace and the better understanding such as make for the progressive civiliza- tion of today, and without which it halts, Being but a small part of the whole civilization will not halt on our account, but just the same those are the undermining forces, and which, if they do nothing to undermine in the instance they do nothing to strength- en the general nation.

Tucked away in a cozy corner of the beautiful Lyba restaurant, we have a tween us; a tiny electric globe shedding its soft rudy glow upon the table and a stationary wizard prepared by the Lyba's expert cuisine artists, it is then the diner's apolenaes at his best. Freed for a moment, from the harassing worries that attend the managing of a theater and a theatrical company, one theaterist who has been the mounts the interesting tale of his early trials and consequent triumphs. He draws the veil and one is allowed to peep into the myriad treasures and share his hopes ambitions. Mr. Walton is a little man with a capacity for doing big things. He is a man who has been led to believe. He makes sure that he is right and then goes ahead, over-riding all opposition, and women in his employ and close observation, and women in his employ and have the great confidence in his ability as a business man. He encourages self-confidence and continually interfering and annoying them in their work. He holds each person responsible and helps them. He makes his employees feel that they are a necessary part of its success as a responsible for its success as a The Lafayette theater had been labeled a failure. Messrs. Walton and Lindsey were the only ones and for this accomplishment they deserve great credit. Their-latest theatre has been managed of a large theatrical company, headed by the popular saudeville stars. Ms. Walton and Lindsey have made its initial performance Thursday evening, in Dumont, New Jersey, and the opening was en encouraged. Associated with the company are such men as Jesse Ship, Henry Creamer, James Hewlett, Allie Gilman and Will Cooke. The name of the show is Darkeley, which will be shown in large cities.

Now in their third week of this season, and giving satisfaction, both in the band and on the stage. The band, that is, S. Shane, Mr. Ted Pope, manager, Ben Jackson, band leader, and ten piece band; Mr. W. G. Melford, at piano; Hr. Hamp Harper, orchestrist, leader. The grand, medley overture and open chorus arranged by Mr. Pope and staged by Ben Gibson is a winner. The Yellow Dog, by Howie Dunn, gives Gibson renders with credit, "You're more than the World to Me." Miss Mae Harper, with trio, convinces them with "When You Love Me." Howie Dunn renders with Dennis, sure fire, making good singing, "We're Going to Celebrate the End of the War in Ragtime." "My Little Dream Girl, rendered by Jess Dallas, very classy, and closing the first part with 'Band, Band, Band,' by Mr. Pope and chorus. This is a hit. John W.

The New Lincoln, a very pretty play house, erected by Mr. Elmore, on 183th street, for the pleasure of colored theaters, the pleasure of the public and the S. R. O. sign has been in evidence nightly since its opening. The feature of this week's play is the pretension to take over Robinson and her company of cakewalkers. That the enthusiasm of New Yorkers for the new Smart Set show was so enthusiastic, the evidence is denuded by the record breaking crowds that attended every performance of the company upon its return to engagement. The Temple Club's great ball, and rainy weather did not deter the crowds from packing the house to its almost full capacity, and they returned away as was done at the initial engagement of the company. While in Washington, D. C., Howard University students showed their appreciation of the Smart Set show. To attending the event, they wore a large body, nearly 200 being present. Seated in the balcony, with pennants flying and banners waving, making the welkin ring with their hands, they were a joyous spectacle to behold, and a great inspiration to the players. No greater compliment has ever been paid the company than this demonstration by the Howard students. Andrew Thomas, manager of the Howard theatre, Washington, gave a grand banquet in honor of the Smart Theatre upon the stage, after Saturday night's performance. Plates were placed for sixty persons, and the occasion was most enjoyable. Entertainers were made by Dr. Childs, Bismark Pinchback, son of ex-Governor Pinchback, Lacey, and Courts and Journals, this the fourth banquet occasion the Smart Set Company by Mr. Thomas, the others being held at the celebrated Goldfield hotel, Baltimore, where he established the theatre, was made by Manager Thomas, during the course of which he outlined his plan for establishment of the principal cities of the United States.

As none of the recognized colored champions will meet negro boxers, Mears has concluded that if the colored fighters have future, the new feature in which they have fought themselfs in the boxing pugilists of their own color. It is Mears' idea to hold a big carnival in future, the new feature in boxers in the various classes. These will be in the nature of elimination contests, and the vision will be considered the colored champion of that class. These will be in the nature of elimination contests, and the vision will be considered the colored champion of that class.

TO SETTLE THE COLORED LIGHT WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Sporting Editor of The Freeman. MOLLITHE, Ga.-My plan for the team will involve with considerable manifestations of approval in planning to find the real colored champion, but there is an aw- wareness of the team. Leo Johnson and Battling Russell seem to be the candidates for the lightweight crown boys to hold the title. It is likely that there will be a match staged between the two teams. Very good boy, indeed, claims the mid- dleweight championship of the world, Hoy, of Toledo, Ohio, has been looked at by writers as a good contender for the title. I thing it would improve boxing champions of the race. I think New Oklahoma would be the logical place to the two boys in the ring over the 2014 season. Lee Johnson he can deflect Russell for title, he can be glad to fight him any way, looking forward to the meeting of the two boys in the boxing bottle--Leo Johnson, Battling Eddle Palmer and Kid Hoy, Wood like to hear from these four WHAT'S WELSH DOING? WAITING FOR THE COIN? Failure to Get Price Keeps Him Out Of the Ring. What has become of Freddie Welsh's now and then lately the question has been asked by some admirer of the clever lightweight 'champion'. Welsh has been fighting much for some little time. According to Freddie's managers, failure to get his price has kept the lion star out of the ring. For weeks Welsh was a regular performer, having down over $50,000 for the freeway. mingled in. Critics have said that in not one of his exhibitions has he made any sense of their worth. Needless to say, his managers do not admit the truth of that last statement. They say he has been too lenient to his team and has set a pace they could not now, for which he should not be blamed. In a twenty-season Welsh has not gone into a career where he have never received a good offer from any promoter," says Harry Pollock. Welsh the Welsh his life in balance with the referee has paid for it. We have set the price at $15,000, win, lose or draw, which we do not consider exorbitant. It was enough for a real championship match. Just the other day Tommy Burns of Orlando with Joe Mandot or some other good man, twenty rounds to a referee's decision. Why, Freed can get it, or the referees, for a ten-room no decision battle. "Therefore, the whole thing re- ceives the attention that Fred will be ready to meet any of them. Let Willie Ritchie and John- ne want the chance go out, just as I did, and find the spot and the money for the engagement and they will discover and hustle until I found a purse that suited Ritchie. Now let them do the same. We heard it said that Packey McFarland would like to get another chance at Welsh, but we want the weight. Nobody is barred, let that be understood, at the regular light-weight limit. We want our position. Now let them come on." WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT.

The A's looked neat in their new uniforms. Owlsie Bush, the Detroit star, was the big attraction. Bingo DeMoss, the king of second baseman, fielded his position cleverly. "Reb" Russell, of the Chicago White Sox, will no doubt draw the color line in the future. Russell Powell was much in evidence, his two-base drive securing the first run for the A.s. Morley Clark, our shortstop, and Todd Allen, our third baseman, pulled off some sensational fielding stunt. Charleston and Shively led with the stick each one securing a pair of hits, and Ruddling will be on the firing line Sunday. Old reliable Ben Taylor accepted twenty chances without a skip and it was Ben's hard rap in the twelfth that sent the winning run across. Pitcher Dismukes folded his tent like the Arab and the Batter 'Battler' to join Rube Foster's American Giants, which team goes to Honolulu. Jimmie Lyons, who played with the St. Louis Giants this season, was in right field. Jimmie was billed as the first Giant to fail to get one out of five times up. JACKIE MOORE IN KANSAS CITY —EXPERTS SAY THAT HE IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. Jackie Moore, colored lightweight of Columbus, O., has opened his fall campaign with two ten-trow draws. Jackie Moore is in city according to an advertisement. The best colored lightweight们 have seen since Joe Gans showed there at the Century Theatre. Jackie seen at the theater was a little fellow and when working for Gans he was asked how he felt, and he said, "Well, I am feeling fine," and he always has a smile on his face and a awful good shape to beat him. So the fight was a draw. Jackie Moore is working with Pinkie Gordon and Jennie Banks, two Pinkie City best boys, and is getting great fall and winter campaign. Jackie just received an offer from Manager Oxon, of the Funtime City Athletic Club, to work with him for October it for October 15, and Moore and Johnson should draw an awful good house, as both the boys are topnotch colored at 128 or 129 pounds, ring side. Jackie is clever and with his cleverness he has a welterweight punch and Moore knows his punch. You can talk about Jackie Russell and Battling Snake Kid and Joe Johnson and the best boys in lightweight, but Moore weighs 128 or 133 ringside with ease and light 15 or 20 rounds with ease. All lightweights the only lightweight who can make 133 ringside with ease and light 15 or 20 rounds with ease. All lightweights but Moore weighs 128 or 133 ringside and can make weight with ease. Jackie appears to be the best colored lightweight but Moore weighs 128 or 133 ringside. Moore boxes 20 rounds and is fresh at the end as he is at the start. Jackie is very cool and hits hard and can make a little boxer. Columbus should be proud of Jackie, one of the best lightweights the world, white or black, and a clear eye. He does not chew or smoke.
