Carmel Baptis —Miss Rachel Walker, the Interna pears at Mt. Carmel—Kindergarten (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1223 S Strete, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4. The sweet "bomb" in the school situation is the petition by a writ of mundum dacus pledged to the Board of Education to show cause why it should not reintitute the petition by the Manual Training School and assistant director of night schools of the District, two positions which he held for years with certain claims to have been unfairly and improperly removed. Dr. Evans was separated from the service of the Washington schools in November, and the Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Grace to Supt. W. M. Davidson, the head of the school, to W. P. Shaferd, of the Disciplinary Supreme Court, has issued an order to the nine members of the board, a compliance with Dr. Evans' petition, to the case and is therefore called for a formal hearing. Dr. Evans for the present, is acting as his proxy and presides in the case and is responsible for its strength of statement and the logic of the conclusions reached as to the justification of the board, who must now answer, by order of the court, questions they have declined to answer during the hearing. Dr. Evans is being appealed for his "dairy in court" are Henry P. Blair, president; Ernest D. Daniel, William T. Gallier, John B. Hancock, and Edmund Kern, Susie Root Rhodes and Coralie F. Cook, Dr. Childs, Mrs. Cook and Mr. Peirson are colored. The motion is directed against the board as the filing of the case in court has created a city-wide sensation and the sympathy of the populace is decidedly with Dr. Evans Was Dismissed Without a Hearing. Dr. Evans declared in his petition that dismissal was the result of a complaint. he declares that no hearing was granted him, and that he was unable to born the exact grounds for his dischargement. Congress provides that whenever aaker is on trial or being investigated, he shall be notified and furnished with the necessary proceedings, at least one day notice, and shall be allowed to be presented by counsel, and have presiding attorney proceedings, at least one friend. All aaker is denied him, Dr. Evans maintains, and appointed a teacher to state public schools January 5, 1885. He says that during the years from 1911 to 1913, members of the university stated that he was appointed charges against his moral character to the effect that he was adaption to him, secret education, without a teacher, and that he was a user of carotic drugs, and that he had made a case statement as to the enrollment of students in the university that, without trial, he was found guilty of every charge, and adds that November 7, 1912, on the recommendation of Bruce. Superintendent Dr. Burke, he was dismissed on a charge he was insufficient academic and no longer delay in filing suit has been due to the fact that he has been seriously hurt by the shock caused by his dismissal. He is the court grant him damages and costs. Petitioner Should Have His "Day in Court." People who side with Dr. Evans, as a many who do not, are in agreement with a principle that whether a man is guilty of a crime may in court. The local papers and correspondents for out-of-town cases are cluttered with changes on this idea throughout past three years, and astonishing changes in the board of Education, made up in large paper, should deny Dr. Evans or any of the funders' rights to be used to the funders' cause. Why should not Dr. Evans be given a fair and be allowed to offer such deference? It is not to be presumed that his almamy could harm no one—that he could be no good reason for Frenchmen to seize the laps of sealing his lips. If giving him satisfaction his mind and worked to any one else, why deny his claim? he is heard everywhere that the teacher "insufficient academic andagogic skills" is spurred, which could be said in farther education, in this said an experienced educator, in this made strong Manual Training School so made the idea while at old Mott School he planted there resulted in the development of a structure and enlarged curriculum, which led to the vocational system that revolutionizing educational stand-alone urban communities. The changes in urban communities. The changes in urban communities was absolutely without foundation, was a blunder and reflected its credit to the mental equipment the person who taught. Miss Rachel Lenoly Walker at Mt. Carmel. Miss Rachel Lenoir Walker, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Paris and London, the international prima donna soprano, was greeted by a large audience of 252 ul. at M.

"Star of Ethiopia" Figures Cut Queen Caners Figures are elusive things to handle—they cut queer didoes at critical moments, and ofttimes embarrass people of the best intentions. This happened last week in connection with the pageant, "The Star of Ethiopia," which had three presentations at the American League Baseball Park. It looked as if all Washington had turned out to see the spectacle and the prediction was freely made that the profits would yield a "barrel of money" for "The Horizon Guild," under the auspices of which the pageant was presented. Taking into account the capacity of the immense park, conservative estimates placed the attendance on Monday evening at 6,000. The same authorities placed the attendance on Wednesday evening at 8,000. On Friday evening, when everybody on earth seemed to be there, the experts gave out 12,000 as a safe guess on the number of people that filled the double-decked grand stand and spread into the pavilions. This made a total of 26,000 for the series. Complimentaries were few and far between, and members of the chorus got only tickets for themselves for each of the three performances. The crowd was a crowd that paid its Now, the receipts! According to a very comprehensive statement issued to the guarantors by Financial Secretary John R. Hawkins, representing the local insorcorators of the production, the amount of the total amount paid into the box office exactly $580.05, the $8,000 on Wednesday evening yielded $381.25. The monster assemblage of 12,000 on Friday evening brought in $1,718.35, making the grand total of $1,718.35. The amount of the box office, the amount of the estimated to have been in attendance. The prices of admission ran from 25 to 50 cents. Placing the average at 30 cents per head, the figure sharpens would have said the receipts should have been not less than $7,800, if their estimate was $7,800. The amount of the total of the reason. The actual returns showed the "guessers" to have been $4,623.65 short of their total, allowing the lowest possible average per person. The amount of the total of the safety fund, $744.50. This swelled the total of moneys received to $3,520.85, according to Secretary Hawkins' report. This money was returned to the guarantors, under the agreement entered into at the outset, and thus figures in the expense of the total of the total amount paid stated by Secretary Hawkins, covering $600 for the park, and all claims for costumes, traveling expenses, salaries of directors and assistants, lights, printing and advertising, etc., footed up $4,402.77. The amount of the total paid to guarantors. Instead of the "barrel of money" the optimistic estimators expected, a deficit of $1,226.42 is shown. All of this goes to prove that figures are queer things and are apt to cut embarrassing capers at the most un- A circular letter has been sent to the guarantors asking that they contribute as much as they can to the refunded Prof. W. E. B. DuBois and his associates. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois and his associates make possible the presentation of the historical pageant in other cities of the country. The guarantors are inUNDATED with the 100,000 dollars for the book for success elsewhere is problematical, if a defect of over $1,200 is the best that can be done in Wash.-D.C. schools, which offers the most inviting field to be found anywhere. The manuscript in Secretary Hawkins' statement as to the $3,000 guarantee fund, "contributed" through DuBois, was written for women of New York School who are accredited with a desire to "make the pageant possible." The guarantors is suggested by some of the subscribers as a means of thoroughly airing the myriad of success stories and success management of the pageant. It is further suggested that the meeting be public, inasmuch as the spectacle of the pageant is to be made a 13th anniversary of the adoption of the 13th amendment to the federal constitution.

How About That Kindergarten Class Rating Report. That suit of Miss Charlotte N. Hunter against sundry folks in town is still in court, and a hearing is not likely for many months. A mention of this fact brings to mind another important fact that is often cited: that ties at interest—that is, that the findings of the sub-committee of the Board of Education, relative to the examination of the normal classes of 1914, have not yet been made public. Six of the cases were given appointments—temporary at first, to fill vacancies, and it is understood that these appointments were the formal statement has been handed down, showing the undisputed standing of the individuals composing that class.

President of State Federation Makes Appeal-Commission Form of Government Prominent-Reld Not the Envoy of the Semi-Weekly Paper Here. (By Hardin Tolbert, at People's Phar macy, 118 N. Broadway.) LEXINGTON, Ky.—Mr. E. B. Jackson, president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, made the following appeal: "The time is rapidly approaching for the annual meeting of the State Federation of Clubs, which will convene in Richmond, Ky., November 26 and 27. I trust each club has done faithful service this year and that fine reports will be made at the convention. Let each of us bestir ourselves and see to it that every club in the state is represented and that we make this banana园 of the city in Kentucky. N doubt every president and members of the clubs are looking forward to a grand time along all lines. If we do our duty, our beloved federation will grow in wisdom, usefulness and numbers and then by a long pull and a pull all together we should reach the deserved results. Please send something that we may have a fine exhibition from which we may realize a nice continent fund. I trust we shall not forget the scholarship fund, but that each club will send a liberal donation that we may help worthy boys and girls prepare themselves for useful service. And now in conclusion, dear worker, let me ask you again to be present at our convention. November 26 and 27, and by your timely co-operation and helpful suggestion make our meeting instructive and inspiring." Commission Form of Government. The hottest fight in the history of the Blue Grass capital is being waged at this writing. The commission form of government eliminates political affiliation, and is strictly a fight between "man and measure." Drs. T. T. Wendell, J. E. Hunter, G. P. Craig, P. D. Robinson, Revs. A. W. Davis, Stafford Campbell, Miles Crittenden, W. H. Stevenson, Lawyer James Schooler, B. E. Smith, and the majority of the Negro business men, are the backers of Mr. J. L. Watkins, for mayor. They have a headquarters in Dr. Wendell's office. Mr. James C. Rogers, an Irishman, is being supported by the great bulk of Negroes, Messrs. George Minnis, Capt. J. T. Clay, J. C. Jackson, John Smith, C. D. Jackson, D. D. Berry, and a large number of whom I did not name. Their headquarters are on the third floor of Smith barber shop. All the white preachers held a special meeting, asking for a fair election. The two daily papers said Sunday morning that two or three hundred Burns detectives would be here the day of this writing to see that every candidate won fair. The state election is going on at the same time, but here it is not so tangible as the city election. Not the Editor of the Semi-Weekly Mr. D. J. Reid, of whom the Courier-Journal and Times, said was the editor of a Negro semi-weekly paper in Lexington, N.C., and the commission, he cited Louisville for example. The editor of the semi-weekly colored paper here, Hardin Tobert, the pretender to the "The Star" magazine, not indorse segregation in any form or fashion. We do think that segregation is the most corrupt law that can be passed. The segregation we were talking about was the election. It is before the commissioners. J. M. TURNER, FORMER U. S. MINISTER TO LIBERIA, DIES. James Milton Turner, former United States minister to Liberia, died Monday in Ardmore, the city where he resided in St. Louis. Turner went to Ardmore from St. Louis, about a year ago, to work in the city, then reinterred in his favor in a land suit. His death is believed to have been caused by injuries he received in a car accident, when he was crushed by the walls of a building which was wrecked in an explosion. He is the most prominent Negro Masons in the United States. Arrangements were made last night by his lodge to have a memorial for his cousin. He was 75 years old. He was appointed by President Grant to the post of minister and consul general to Liberia, which he held for two years. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SINGLE COPY—SIX MONTHS, 85c; ONE YEAR, $1.50.

Bennie Butler is the new dramatic and sporting editor of the Amsterdam News, of New York city—and he is a winner of the New York Times E. A Warren knows how to pick up a live wires. Personally conducted countryside beat those handled by mail, as a luckless lover found out the other day, when the correspondence school bride-elect showed up and he discovered that she was cross-eyed. Have you ever noticed that a fellow who appeals most strongly along senatorial lines comes his way, is the greatest sticker for practical methods when the favors are sought by you? A writer in a current publication says he knows of some preachers and editors who will answer a letter prompting him to give his statement by giving their names? The Washington Bee seems to be entirely satisfied with the National Negro Press Association under its present regime. Chase hasn't emitted a growl about the organization for quite a while. It doesn't pay for an employee in any kind of a business house to "lay a man who frequently or trivial reasona a man who has no time, without detriment to a business, is not regarded as a very valuable asset and the boss may find out that he can get along without him for good. The late Rev. Thomas Wellington Hinton, a colored newspaper published in the state of Kansas. He was at one time elected unanimously as chaplain in the state served two terms as a member of the board of education of Lawrence Kan. There are no lines drawn in Washington now, based upon the amount of salary a man may happen to draw. The man who has among colored society to make a dividing line an inch long. And, the would-be "dividers" have been sent out of the corporation's capital—for the capital's good. Prohibition is not a political problem. The liquor evil can only be scratched on the surface by legislation, but it can also be a higher moral sense, a greater appreciation of its effect on the health, and education as to its harmfulness to individual efficiency and drain on the material resources of the family and community. The cities that have entertained big conventions this year have succeeded or failed in proportion as they have developed one or more first-class colored hotels, restaurants and up-to-date theaters in the city, homes and churches are all right, but the stranger within your gates judges a town by the creature comforts within reach, and a city by the city's amenities provide them—or committees will pass it up when convention seats are to be named. The Negro has "celebrated" about enough now. The wise colored man will admit that it is now the proper way to go where it is not the proper way to lay the foundation for another era of celebration fifty THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. years hence. State and country fairs, to exhibit creditable products locally, to exhibit products locally with congress-alided and graft-ridden "national" emancipation anniversaries for a while. Now, to business! Make some more record! If segregation in church, school, business, society and resistance is to be a fact, the need to the Negro all he can out of the enforced separation. If there must be segregation, the Negro church management, more Negro teachers, more Negro serving the trade unions and finer homes in so-called Negro neighborhoods and a closer walk with racial endear. The progressive and affluent Jew is pointing the way. Certain presidential possibilities are being chosen or rejected in some inquiries, quizzes, according to thebuch of officers of the bureau, the success is apt to bring to the fore as a "Black Cabinet" of the future. After its experience with the colored end of the party, the public demands Washington have reached the conclusion that "an ounce of prevention is adequate that looks as if he will bring back some of the official misfits that essayed leadership under the last republican administration, will be handicapped at the start." The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association is rendering yeoman service to the state's states of the South—North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. This Gibraltar of insurance gives employment to men and women, teaches the art of laying up a safety-first provision for the proverbial "rainy day," and is an industry and managerial capacity of the Negro. The race can follow to its advantage such leaders as John Merlert, the director of the Armed Moore, the projectors of the rearrankable organization. A friend, who is ambitions to be "one of them literary fellers," writes: "How can I become a syndicate corpse? How can I become a syndicate corpse? Say fifty of the 450 colored papers they report as being published in this country? If I secure the promise of a publisher, how can I be made my me for my work at the stipulated time?" My ambitious young friend will have to accept "Search me" as an answer, and know something about the matter ourselves. Will some wealthy correspondent come to the rescue and tell us how to be a successful fame by chronicling the doings of the race for the race papers of the land? Through the activity of Drs. A. L. Burton, M. Stewart and W. P. Burton, the school provided provision for stating in blanks the race, color, etc., of applicants to practice certain forms of surgery in the state medical board. The medical board also demanded that a photograph of the applicant should be submitted to Gov. Frank B. Willis, writing to Gov. Frank B. Willis, with the result that this broad-minded chief executive promptly "blue-pencilled" the provision and it is now no longer in force. AUGUSTA, GA., NOTES (Dore Johnson.) On the second Sunday in October the people of Augusta gathered at Harmony Baptist Church to unveil a tablet to our saluted members, in the persons of Rev. W. J. White, the editor of the Georgia Baptist, and Prof. A. R. Johnson, whom we all honored. The speakers of the occasion traced their lives. Miss Laney gave an inspiring talk. Dr. Nabrit gave a beautiful trace of Dr. White's life, also Dr. Pinkney, of Thanksgiving, after which the master of ceremonies, Professor Driscal, and Pastor Johnson, thanked the friends. The last quarterly conference at the Bethel A. M. E. church, Augusta, Ga., rendered an excellent report for the past three months, for which we are very thankful. We raised $3,000.

Motley, Jr.) Greenwood, Miss. October 26. The Silas Green company played here Friday, October 22, to a very large crowd. You could hardly get standing room so seated. The crowd was much. The show was simply clean and up to date. Greenwood is a very good show point. The people here will go out to nearly anything one. I hardly know what to ask of them. I see a group of people. They don't like to see me of his race throne—don't want to see him make an honest living. They won't pull a man over. They'll color the colored restaurants and cafes. We have two or three swell colored places, fine enough for anybody to sit down to the tables. We have some places and sit down and eat and hear sweet music on the piano. And then some of our people will get right up out of a place like that, where you can get a Greek cafe, where they get any kind of service, and they are tickled to death. Now, how can the colored man thrive with such as that? * A very large number of young men were seen dodging and running around corners and in shops Sunday from young ladies with envelopes begging for church. Every corner you could meet two or three. --- All of the young men that want to save money are asked to meet Les Molyte at the University of Florida on Sunday, October 31.

Two or three of the Silas Green ladies liked to stayed in Greenwood. I think they wanted to stay a little bit, too. Mr. Harry Summerville, a nice young man of Grenada, Miss., is numbered among the young people thought of by two or three young ladies. MOBILE, ALA. The Gulf Coast Tropical Fair was a success.

Remember when heartsick and weary; the sunshine comes after the rain; Tomorrow is time to be cheerful—Tomorrow we take hope again. Selected.

SCHAFE WITH- DRAWS FROM SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS. Could Not Subscribe to the Tenets of the "Testimony," Draws the Color Line. (By Charles Alexander.) The Rev. Wilsley C. Shea, a valued elder of the Seventh-Day Adventists denomination, demonstrated his pluck and manly courage recently when he withdrew from the Southern California Conference of the denomination to account of its doctrine bearing upon the color-line. During the past year Elder Sheafe founded in Los Angeles this church also withdrew from the conference and passed ringing resolutions setting forth their reasons for their action. Of the church founded by Rev. M. Sheafe is the Berean Seventh-Day Adventist church. Since its severance from the conference in 1975, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church," with Rev Lewis C. Sheafe, of 1442 West 35th street, Los Angeles, Cal., as pastor, and his members is regarded as an event of great historical importance. The trouble he has with the act that Mr. Sheafe and his members are supposed to certainly subscribe to certain sentiments contained in "The Testimonies, Volume No. 1," according to the elders of the Servant's Church, divinely inspired, and "the testimonies" serve as an infallable to the believers in this denomination. Although her work lacks literary merit, she has written some very excelent works, including Bible. Her arguments, however, are well organized arrangement, progressive and logical presentation, and they are especially well organized in color question. Rev. Mr. Sheafe was asked if he believed all of the "Testimonials" and he frankly avowed that he was not, and for the reasons following: Resolved, that we extend to Elder Lewis C. Sheafe and wife our confidence and love, that we cordially invite the bishop of the Berean Church of Free Seventh-Day Adventists, pledging him our loyal support, spiritually and financially, to the mission of the Berean Church of Free Seventh-Day Adventists, pledging him our loyal support, spiritually and financially, to the mission of the Third Angel's message as God shall direct. And, resolved, that we invite Christians of all and any nation or region to feel the light of God's word, and that if they find us to be on good, safe and sane basis to feel free to unite with us. We are a large group of Christians and religious, be accorded to all men of every race." The above resolutions were signed by a large group of Christians who were unanimously adopted. This is one of the most unusual events of our generation and the colored people of Los Angeles of every denomination and of every race. We are congregated for the noble and heroic stand they took in this matter. The Los Angeles branch of the National Association of Colored People endorses the act and improve of the resolutions.

Sliding into winter ever so gently. It looks as if the Republicans are coming back. The vote for women in the eastern states shows unmistakably the trend of thought on the woman's suffrage question. The Hallowe'en masqueraders were in possession of the keys of the city last Monday night, and they did not forget to use them. As to the results of the election, it is very much like what Dr. Cook had to say of the North Pole controversy—there's enough glory in it for us all James L. Curtis, of New York, has been selected as Minister-Resident and Consul General to the Liberian government, Africa, succeeding George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind. It was thought at one time that the appointment would go to Mr. Manning, of this state. That gentleman, however, did not encourage the idea, refusing to stand as an avowed candidate. Bishop Alexander Walter was for Mr. Manning in event he cared for the job. But the Indiana man was content to let the appointment go elsewhere the bishop settled on the New Yorker, Mr. Manning assisting him in getting the place for Curtis. The appointment seems to be very satisfactory. THE FREEMAN MISINFORMED. November 1, 1915. Mr. Elwood Knox, Manager Indianaapolis Freeman, Indianapolis, Fla. Mear Friend: I note an editorial in your paper of October 7 relative to the importance of thinking the editorial means to be unfair to the management of the Douglass Home, but clearly shows a lack of interest in the home, and I am sure our trustees will be gind to give you whatever official information you may desire concerning the home. I may say to you that a sentiment of the character necessary to support such an institution is a very late desire. The sentiment was not sufficiently favorable to construct the great Washington monument in memory of the father of the nation. It is most difficult to raise any respectable amount of money for the home. I do think your official quit fair and I think it is some kind of information or that you have been given the wrong information from some sources, because the Freeman always wishes the right thing at the right time. Rev. Dr. Moorland may rest assured that we are perfectly willing to say anything or do anything that is right in regards to this unfortunate affair. We hope that we have been misinformed, and that there is no studied effort to insult the memory of this eminent dead man. Squaring a circle is said to be a mathematical impossibility. In trying to help the Douglas home purchasing committee we do not wish to deal with a怕 publication. If the prospect of purchase is unblased, not subject to any influence beyond that of the toil in wringing money out of the people, we are still with it. No one can beat a blind alley or a Cul-de-sac. We are proud to make mends for any wrong done by us. Our editorial was not fair if the difficulty is simply a matter of time sufficient to make sentiment. It was written after years of waiting and after two distinct efforts on our part to help in the movement, and which met with but the feeblest response. Dr. Moorland is one of the Y. M. C. A. international secretaries, and as such, what he says has weight. We take it for granted everything is regular in the movement, and that there is no disposition, at least avowed, to defeat the undertaking. We assure him esteem and distinguished consideration, and hope the committee will have the success it deserves. Again we insist that we are with it. EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN. CHINA WANTS TO CHANGE. The Freeman ventured the opinion at the beginning of the Chinese republic that the change was by no means certainly in the interest of that country. The opinion was based on the requirements of republican citizens, which, if not among the things, highly educational, must include "intense" saneness, or an enlightenment which answers for education. Nor do we mean book education particularly, although this must be the basis, because without reading there can be but little understanding. We must read enough to get the thoughts and views of other men—the ground work. Only a small per cent. of our citizens are highly educated, but they have, the greater part of them, the essentials of republican citizenship. This diffusion of knowledge, indeed, means more than the ability it is exponential, raising to higher powers the individual per se, putting him in better harmony with his environment. Thus the power is reduced, as contrary as it seems, as knowledge obtains, when the theory and practice of community rights, or rights in common succeed the savage notion of self first. Mankind will never be able to eliminate self as the first person of importance, but it does learn that if self is to be sustained as that first person others must come in for a share of attention. The Chinese, it will be admitted, have not been known for aggressiveness individually or collectively. Their lack of general enlightenment has not made for that peculiar ambition known of Mexico and Haiti. Apathy, indifference, sloth have characterized the flowery kingdom, just as the opposite characteristics have marked Japan. China strikes one as being a stupid Colossus, exhibiting characteristics which do not make for republics. The fact that China has quietly determined to change from a republic to a monarchy without the firing of a single gun, of course, is in the interest of the world's peace, but speaks very poorly of that country's makeup. Imagine such a determination in this country or any other country. Owing to the many millions in China it is in the interest of humanity that it can slide from one kind of government to another merely by proclamation. But, as we said before, it's a mighty poor kind of people that would stand for those bloodless revolutions as salutary as they are. The easy change is in accord with the nature of the people, many of whom do not know what is going on at Pekin, nor do they care. Successful republics are not made up that way. While not turbulent or notably robellious, the ideal, in part, of republics, the Chinese provinces could never be sufficiently federated, until the personality revolutionized. These people are too tame for the progressive ideas of republics. The petty rulers of provinces known for their graft methods under the old regime were none the less so under the republican form of government. Really the opportunity is greater because the offending individual can not be reached so directly. The machinery of courts and legislatures are too much for the simpleminded Mongolians. In fact the Chinese at this time are the best example of a people requiring a monarchial form of government. They are passive, docile—"brothers to the ox"—and who wear their yokes easily. Many are intelligent, but the vast majority are as we have described them, both ignorant and indifferent. It is a serious thing to know that China is lapsing into its old form. Yet it has no business in the ranks of truly republican countries. Its president at this time could only be a modified emperor, but who is less effective because the absolute power is not a part of his prerogatives as an emperor, and less effective as a president because he has not the support such as is given the president of the United States or similar countries through their beautiful, even if complex machinery. J. MILTON TURNER DEAD. J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis, Mo., one of the best known Negroes of the United States, died November 1, at Ardmore, Okla. Biographers have very little to say of his early life; it is generally known, however, that he was of slave parentage, and was himself a slave. At his death he was considerably above seventy years of age, thus his early manhood ran along the years when the Negro race was getting its bearing, and current with the lives of Bruce, Douglass, Langston, Pinchback and others who may be set down as the blazers of the way. His schooling was considerable, but nothing in comparison with what he acquired by himself. Owing to his day, when Negroes of brains were few and far between, he had great opportunity to advance in public affairs. His state was important in politics as it had been in the days of slavery, and during the Civil war, when, owing to its border situation it was a field of contention as to which side the state should espouse. Nor has that state yet lost its pivotal importance. The large Negro vote of Missouri had the greater influence in making the J. Milton Turner as he was best known to the American public. The Republicans at once saw in him their opportunity. And indeed he was a very rare find. His political schooling was among the best white politicians—statesmen; not only of his own state, but of the entire country. The school was rare owing to the times, the reconstruction era, and the rest of it, when the country was rising like the fabled phoenix, from its ashes. Mr. Turner was a precocious product of that school. Conkling, Platt, Blaine, Grant, Sherman, Harrison, Edmunds, Logan were his national associates and he measured well up to them in all respects. The school was a very rare product, made no important move without him. He attended the state conventions and the national conventions where he was always held in great esteem. Mr. Turner became a lawyer, and perhaps it was due, in part, to his profession, that he became so well practised in the art of speaking. In this respect he was a peer of the men of his day, of this day. In his general manners he was as polished and refined as a courrier, saue and insinuating, impressing, his fine personality on whomsoever he met. He was a man of great intellect, consequently he was in great demand in the greater campaigns. He was something on Carl Shurz order, that distinguished German orator. Both seemed to have exhausted the oratorical possibilities of the English language, adding to it something of their respective nationalities which made for "supermen" along this line—the had the touch as well as the technique. When J. Milton Turner spoke, one forgot his ebony hue. He stood almost the matchless man, with his eyes full of the present gift of oratory, and which won him fame, honors and the more substantial thing of fortune. Mr. Turner was perhaps too brilliant for his own good. He was another Alexander; he grew restless after his achievements in the Republican ranks—sighed for other realms. He was given the Liberian post, one of the best possible consistent gifts, by the Republicans. He treated it as a thing of indifference. He accepted the post but refused to live in that country; so scaffold at his house, he saluted the salary of colouring in Paris. His successes made him reckless. Smarting under some disappointment he joined the Democrats in after years. He attracted attention owing to who he was, but a few years later he renounced that party, having discovered that Negro political division was more attractive in sound than in sense. In later years Mr. Turner became THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER an Indian attorney, in which capacity he made large fees. Unfortunately he had no thought of the tomorrow, Money flowed to him easily in his earlier career, and long after, but it flowed from him as freely as it came to him. The days of decline came. His prospects were gone; but through it all his many friends would not permit him to drink his bitter cups to the dregs. The remembrance of what he had been mentally stalked before those who knew him, and like the famed old Negro standard bearer of the Civil war, whose colors did never touch the ground, they saw to it, that even if he bended low, he should not trail in the dust. Whatever his decline and end, he added luster to the race in that he showed its fine possibilities. He came when the race was young, when men doubted its susceptibility, doubted its capacity for great acquirements, contributing his most valuable testimony when it was most needed. He set the standard high, amid the stars, building better than he knew, and until this day we will search in vain for another J. Milton Turner, orator. THE EXPOSITION NUMBER. The Freeman is busy at this time preparing for its exposition number, which will be issued during the holidays. The object is to supplement the work of the various expositions in celebrating the fifty years' end of the achievements of the race as a free people. The newspapers have made some effort in furthering the idea of celebration, and which was very commendable. 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 thoughtful, 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 every class of mertorious 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 indexes 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 undertakings. We are busy soliciting for the representation, and we hope there will be assistance in kind, in keeping with the undertaking. So far we have met with flattering success. Those receiving a letter from us will confer a great favor if they will answer promptly as the time is short for the work which has been mapped out. L'OUVERTURE'S RUSTY SWORD. Elsewhere in this issue is an article on Haliti from the pen of Rev. Dr. Reverley Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, and which appeared in that publication for October. We have had considerable to say about that country in the recent past, so much that the idea may have obtained that we think that it is our peculiar mission to discuss its affairs. We do not entertain any such views. The Haitian question, naturally comes home to Negroes wherever they are. And because of this day of rapid changes and complete revolutions, as well as the fact that the government is one of Negroes, and moreover, because of our country's attitude towards Negroes, the question demands the closest attention. Dr. Ransom asks us, as he does other papers, to give some thought and expression to his views. We agree in the most part with what he says. We have said practically what he says. In fact, we agree with all he says, only opposing his style of saving things in some instances. If it is possible that the move in Haiti carries with it the scheme of changing the fundamental policy, permitting a changed rule for the occupying of the land, admitting others to ownership not countenanced by the original law-makers of the island. By the proclamation of the holding majority, we can see reasonableness in the unsheathed L'Ouverture sword expulsion. We have promptly arrayed ourselves on the side of our government in what has been done so far, and as most of the thoughtful men of the race have done, and for the reason so forcibly set forth by Dr. Ransom. He says: "Instead of preserving the sword of Tousaint L'Ouverture untarnished to uphold and defend the national life and honor, they have struck their country full of bleeding wounds through internal strife and civil war. In this condition of affairs we do not object if a strong and powerful neigh bor peacefully intervenes to assist in restoring order and harmony in the national household, but we want to be assured that her natives are disinterested, and that all her overtures are inspired by those high aims which have back of them no ulterior purposes." Hear him! The editor has said it all, even if it has a threatening tinge. And yet he may be right in his tone of defiance, especially if it is even hinted that fundamental laws are to be given without the consent of the governed. So far we see no reason to doubt our country's good intentions. And perhaps there will never be a reason to doubt its integrity in this affair. It is our best judgment and hope. We are in for our country assuming the reins of government in Haiti for the purpose of bringing order out of confusion. We do not aid and abet this country or any other in the effort to despoil nations or peoples, white or black. Particularly are we interested in Haiti preserving its status, and that it does not perish as a political entity from the face of the earth. We said we agreed wholly with the editor of the Review. We do not hold that President Woodrow Wilson's cheap white Democrats are eagerly anxious to go in and reduce the Haitians to their idea of common American Negroes, as he says. There is no way, unfortunately, of knowing the ending of such matters until the end comes. Of course, it will then be too late. But there's nothing to do but abide the time, depending on the honor of the country as the hope of pledges redeemed. To do more, to fly in the face of affairs with our suspicions, would be to wrongfully accuse our government, which as such, has done very little to inconvenience our race. This may sound soft and affectionate, but there nothing to do but wait and see. If we accuse and accuse we might help with the thing we are trying to put from us. Even great governments are sensitive. We will admit that the situation is precarious for Haiti. It can not well resist the interference on the part of this country, or some other country. What will that interference bring to Haiti? Will it be the restoration of that beautiful pastoral country wrenched from the hands of the French by L'Ouverture, situate amid seas in a clime bespoke into existence when the gods were in their best humor, or will it be an unwilling contributor to the prosperity of the feudalism—without mind or soul of its own? This latter is the thing to be feared. And yet we cannot afford to curse the fate in advance, for it may be, and we think it highly probable, that Haiti will be passed to the Haitians with achievements, prosperity and prospects never dreamed of by those in the present generation. Sublime faith is essential to good patriots; it is in Germany where the head of government is revered as a father of the family of good repute—never suspected of less than a whole-souled interest in every member. Our country has a right to expect the same kind of fealty. It is not to be thought of doing one single act that would undermine that conception. Failing in this it fails in its purpose as a government. Wrong would follow wrong until the cloud, as it were, which was no larger than the hand of a man, would increase and would not break with mercy on our heads. Attorney Thomas W. Fleming, of Cleveland, O., was among those elected as members of the city council of that city. He was elected from the eleventh ward on a non-partisan ticket, five other candidates in the field. S.

DOUGLAS'S WORDS Addressing the colored voters who were in great number at the Emery street meeting in the Thirteenth ward, Monday night, Attorney Thomas J. Alexander advancement party built to lure the vote of the colored man. It is a child of the Democratic party. It is ridiculous and nothing else. If the Democrats want its purpose is to take away votes from the party of Abraham Lincoln, and nothing else. If the Democrats want its purpose is to take away another. But don't be fooled. Remember the words of Fred Douglas, the greatest Negro the United States ever produced. He said. "To the colored man, the mean party is the ship—and all the rest is the sea."—Cincinnati Times-Star.

Thouands Cheer the Boys When They Take It Out of the Voca Voca (By Cary B. Lewis.) It was a brilliant game, the high school displaying great headwork in their defensive play and great work in their first half the great valor. In the first half the youngsters from Central did their best playing. On the gridiron, I am told they passed a silent pass, and the players had hazards. Capt. Kean said to Pate, right half, "nit the line, hit the line," and Pate, like a mad man, hit the line of the goal. He drove, "Go after it," said Kean to Brady, and Brady, true to his resolution, made the first touchdown. "Old man," he said, "had a second touchdown and Brady kicked goal. You could hear Central for a mile. Victory was theirs. Boys threw the ball, "billie" in. In the second half, the Uno Voca Club picked up courage and Perkins made a touchdown and goal was born fight, but Central outplayed them. Pate suffered a little bad luck in the last half by getting hurt, but not seriously. He stuck. The afternoon, the high-school will play the Henderson (Ky.) High School at the same park. The citizens of Louisville of the city of Louisville will see their sons buck the line. Let them see the most noted game of the fall season—a game that makes real men. It will be called at 3 o'clock. The line-up: Central. ___ Uno Voca. Fred Laughlin ___ Center. ___ J. Lawrence ___ left guard. S. Huff L. Lawrence ___ right guard. French Smith ___ left tackle. Shipley treat. ___ left guard. S. Huff K. Price ___ right end. T Allen C. Taylor ___ left end. Perkins Wm. Mitchell ___ left half. Walmart Wm. Mitchell ___ left half. Bryant John Pate ___ right half. Nurse Kean ___ quarter back. Anderson FISK TIES WILBERFORCE. In one of the greatest games ever witnessed on the Fisk University field, the Fisk University teams played to a 9:0 tie. The game was brilliant throughout, both teams reaching the twenty-yard line. The game was brilliant. The game. Wilberforce threatened Fisk's goal seriously in the second quarter when they secured the ball in the center of the field, the ball exchanged smashing march for a touchdown only to be penalized after reaching Fisk's twenty-yard line, the ball exchanged smashing march, each one unable to gain the necessary downs. Gaines at quarter and Lane at left-half, two former Georgia State College players, and one former Georgia State force. The line plunging of Lane at left-half and Jones at full-back for the Buckeyes was terrific, shattering time and against the defensive offense by Fask. The Buckeyes were the first in the punting contest with honors going to Dickson right-end for Wilberforce. The game was by far the best ever for the Buckeyes, two teams will be watched in the future.

THURSTON, THE MAGICIAN At the Lyceum Theatre, Indianapolis, Thurston, the man mysterious, whose evenness of mind and a wonderland will appease a fairyland of the Lyceum all next week with daily matinees. And that the greater-than-ever laver never was more deserving than in the case of Thurston this season. He is better skilled in the art of mystery performance than in the art of performance is remarkable in its interest and delightful comedy. With his majesty of the day are coupled a number of new startling features. To catalogue Thurston's new prose and performance, his reputation is made and the knowledge of the rare quality of his performance universal. His is a polyphany of knowledge, answers every desire, and as for his minor, incidental frills, puffs and nouns of the general comedy nothing more is the more largely product of laughter. Thurston's performance last season surpassed anything ever attempted by any other man. He is said the things he does this season would convince any one that the "evil one" had a first mortgage on his future wife. He is said that it is most pleasing characteristics. He is assisted by a large retinue of retainers, and carries two carloads of effects including that would do credit in aizable circus. Thurston's performances are especially attractive in that they appeal to the audience, and seasoned male theater goers. Special attention is to be paid to the little ones at the matines. Every man, woman and child within the audience make a surge effort to see Thurston. THE JAMES HARRIS CONCERT BAND.

Brown, in style and grace, with his fine tenor and a good song, not quite suited to the two actors failed to take the role, but the two actors mand which they should. The white acts were Sadie Kussell and company, and a good song with more good comedy stage story with more comedy she scored in her intoxication scene. Miller and Moore, English actors, I was Sadie Kussell and company, I was also classy dancers. The Smillett Sisters, were good wore walkers and contortionists and Jules Held in "Childhood Days" was no better than "Children Days" was far seen here before, but pleased. The last half of last week had Greenlee and Drayton, the artist dancers, and Danny, the musician. The white acts were the Four English Comiques, with comedy and pantomime librettists, and the musicals of joy and steam roller novelists.

Reser and Reed performed a variety of instruments that are a novelty and will go stronger by incessant practice but their selections need a little refinement. The orchestra concert is scheduled for a matinee Tuesday, November 9th. Henry Drake Scores in Burlesque at The Monogram. It was a good thing that Henry Drake put on a burlesque farce-comedy comedian and it will probably surprise the patrons who saw him to note that the drunkard scene was strong, natural and realistic. Ethel Walker was good in the leading female role and that she has a good voice. The boy dancers and the rest of the company were good and free from tights and Drake really knows how to regulate a show. In the cast were William Bailey, Floy Brown, Jennie McCormick, Sam Davis and Owens, Rosetta Mayberry, Carrie Johnson and others. Sam Davis led the orchestra and was cornered for offering a next week will be a Trip to Zulu Lung. Claybron Jones Plays at the New Monogram. Claybron Jones and his players were an old puzzle but a new and interesting attraction. The company gives a career to the players, a speciality and a comedy military act introducing Claybron Jones, the Yama mama. Jama mama drew the dawn on his past record and while his military comedy was good, he forgot to sing the song which made him famous. The opening drama was a matrimonial in which the good kind matrimonial and Christian sanction was too sacred and to be followed by comedy similarity mixes. The evil kind was Ella Hayes and the good Ella Hayes were great in their speciality. The last play was a real comedy. Frank De Lyon as the captain of comedy redemption. There was a little too much shooting. The cast included El Lankford, John Lennon, Lizzie Thompson and their own orchestra, Travelee McMahon, Joe Sudler and Curtis Mosby. Program of the Movies.

Billy King was captured by the movie magnates during his one week's rest before his departure for New York City. From there he will train and his friends on Lafayette, November 8th, for an indefinite period. King's salary to appear in the comedy role in "The Hired fussed" for the movies was $200.00 per day. As we went to press Joe Jordan arrived in town from his European tour, looking the picture of health. He was up directly after he had entered the door of Teenan Jones' place, the new actor's paradise. He was immediately in State street strolled by the writs and a milieu book by the proprietor, as he smiled. The "Birth of a Nation" was a good name for a picture movie that shows how the southern people oppose the civility of and embarrass the white people of the north. I was asked to comment on the movie, and I am proud that we are justified in rebelling against such a picture the rebellion does but little good even to the black people. It only serves to add publicity to the drawing qualities of the show. If the picture is harmful, it should not be prohibited by the eighty per cent of the white people of the nation. Its preservation is to bring sympathy to a weak minority race of people who have been badly imposed upon and misrepresented by the white people. It at long range and its editor who is the biggest coward I know, rakes up news from the black people and would be bravely fighting first for the welfare of his people at home. Why don't the Defender in the movie be bravely going to mystery. Are murderers to go free in Chicago as an menace to civil life? Hon. J. Gray Lucas, attorney-at-law, who has offices in the Union Bank Building, 25 North Dearborn street, had the contract, it seems, for and furnished the big 600 chorus for the Lincoln Jubilee Exposition.

Last week Friday's Evening American had a pictorial editorial "No children wanted in certain apartment houses," and "Children are wanted in factories," and then advocated woman suffrage. Personally I do not object in the woman suffrage along the line of understanding that women need for liquor in California, a weak point, and against it elsewhere. Of child labor, take the coal country for instance, where I lived for two years. In some cases, enforced poverty compelled children to work. In some cases where children will not be in their room or have to send their mothers are anxious for them to work when they are 16 years old and become industrious rather than become idlers like we see them in the big cities. Women who live in flats where no children are allowed shirk from motherhood and are not the first to be a good one of women who have no refuge in parental rearing. In Peoria, Ill., women are on the fence. I see that Kelly Miller, a prominent colored philosopher, is also against woman suffrage. Prof. Du Bois, an anecdotist in his�e agazite, "The problem comes to a veryably on Miller and the decision. The success of woman suffrage lies in the problem of the children.

The Whitman sisters, with their company, came into town last week, unannounced in advance in advance, pretty fact that their presence was not known until the engagement was about halfway, and that those who attended the earlier performances. Miss Essie, the superb wore three stunning gowns, each with a different hand of the lady patrons of the house. She put over a good number, "Bring loving and caring to Miss Alberta and as usual, with her Wonder Will They Find a Place for Little Black Me." She is a "scream" of a dream, "Baby Alice" is one of the best back and wing dancers on the stage and is growing up. Miss Geerude Strufin, substituting for Miss Mae Whitman, sings nicely and wears her clothes in a dress. Miss Auron, and George are funny, and the skirts at a lively clip throughout The Whitmans are a clever aggregation of the fact stands out as plainly as the nose on a Hebrew's face that they need on a Hebrew's face that they need to expect in a "box-office attraction" in this "neck-o-the-woods." They are too capable a group of performers to be compliments to be hidden beneath an antiquated and inadequate vehicle. Miss Susie Sutton is doing her character specialty this week at the Standard in Philadelphia. The Waltons are doing a splendid musical and Italian act at Dudley's this week. The Raglans, eight in number, are doing a musical and Italian skit. Mr. Johnson the central figure catches the crowd with his one-string violin and sensational dancing. Miss Herriette, Vinton Davis is being urged to enter vaudeville and put on a series of playlets of a standard character, depicting phases of Negro life in the 19th century of dramatic construction, all to be in tabloid and utilizing the services of about four capable actors. Noble Lee Sissie, who is entertaining through the season at the Jardin D'Dance-Kernan in Baltimore, ran over one day this week and the music will be remembered by the music-lovers of the capital as the composer and demonstrator of the lifting song, the "All Your Fault," of the town by the ears, as it were. Irvin C. Miller's big show is scheduled to open at the Standard in Philadelphia next Monday evening. The company embraces a good number of the styles it is expected they will put over a musical comedy that will live and prosper. Miss Ester Bigeon and Miss Lottie Gorman will sing comediennes, are among Mr. Miller's gilted support. The exceptionally fine bill at the Howard this week is headed by Edward Tolliver and Miss Goldie Chappelle, the "swell duo," who sing a witty talking along with their refreshing act, Miss Chappelle, who is invariably styled "one of the prestest women on the stage," and some dainty gowns and this week's songs beautifully "My Pen Sketch of Thurston, the Magician A RAG AND A BONE AND A HANK OF MAN TAKES LIFE AND DANCE THE TRANG.

Tolliver and Lincoln, New York City, next week. AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATRE. Owley and Kirkpatrick, Burns and Burns, Gail Woods, Anna Holt, Holly Woods, Woods Owsley our Tim, and Sidney Kirkpatrick made their initial appearance in their new act, "The Politician," last Monday night. The boys have made a happy find, the act being an instantaneous success. Tim was also known all over the country for his good comedy work, and during the management of the Crown Garden he has gotten back more than once to his first love—black-face comedy. Owsley is blessed with ready wit, and which is marked with intelligence, which makes his work interesting. "The Politician," the act has to do with the Negro in politics as it is generally thought. Fine opportunities are furnished for satire and pungent wit which go home to the hearer. Sidney Kirkpatrick is particularly strong as a straight man. He, seemingly, has a good ability to get the politics, and also the politics where the colored man is likely to find himself. He is the precinct boss, and as such offers Owsley various inducement to vote his way. The discussion of the award of office is interesting and amusing because it was a likeness of the real thing. Kirkpatrick is as good as they get to be. The act with a little elaboration—a little addition would make a hit here if he has had it copyrighted for protection. Burns and Burns, Sandy and Gretchen appear in an unusual act—a play called Soldier Life. Miss Burns appears first neatly attired as a leutenant, during this appearance she recites Laska," a poem, in which she puts dash and action along with the rather dramatic lines. Later Burns comes on, doing the comedy. He is trying to make good his escape from the army, the leutenant is still fighting fast. The onrush of the Mexicans is the conclusion when there is considerable action. The parts were well taken. McGarr and Tanzell are a breezy pair of workers. McGarr is particularly happy in his work—a bunch of fun all himself. His jokes are big winners. Miss Tanzell is a capable performer. Her stage movements are winsome, her singing is charming, and her singer. They have an entertaining act. Anna Holt, singer, is a new one to the Crown Theater patrons. She is a singer who has a strong stage presence is attractive. Her first number, "Beautiful Roses," was sung with a fresh, sweet voice. Tone-wise, she is a plaintive air and sung accordingly—in an appealing voice. Her song was a plaintive "Game of Love." In this number Miss Holt gets away from the rather dignified style of her first two songs, and she uses a style that took well. Its a love song all right. She was nicely received in all of her work. Her numbers, voice, music make for a winning combination. Johnnie Woods, ventriloquist de Luxe, wrote the song that bit more interesting in his dialogues with his doll. There is only one verdict for him—positively the best in his work. She sees and hear him and little old Henry. STRING BEANS PACKS BOOKER WASHINGTON IN ST. LOUIS.

As a race we have a predilection toward eating, and we eat with a happy smile. We are the others the morrow. Scientists tell us that most people dig their graves with their teeth. If this be true, most of us colored people are not digging their graves in the grave. We love to eat, and no matter how poor we may be, so long as we can raise the price, we eat the graves. We love to eat by stitting our stomachs, there will be no wealth. I have seen an Italian laborer make a noodley meal from a loaf of bread, and we eat better give a colored laborer some hot cornbread, ham and cabbage, or something equally substantial if there is to be a difference. When one considers that eating is one of our greatest pleasures, the greater the wonder that there are not a larger number of restaurants in which to indulge this pleasure. In the colored district of any city the places masquerading as restaurants greatness and beauty. They are not hard to find; the pungent odor of boiled cabbage or stewed chlitungse" usually gives advance notice of the presence of smoke covered windows one catches a dim light and smokes the congealed in cold grease, pies, cakes and biscuits arranged in anything but an appetizing display. One of the windows, it will receive another shock upon entering the place. The effluent eminating from the kinds of food in a kitchen that is nearly always adjacent to the dining room, neither having any ventilation, is al Short order restaurants have a sliding scale of prices, and that scale generally slides upward when we appear on the menu. We are asked to reply: "Most anything you want." We know that means we are only to want pork chops, ham, sausages, potatoes, butter and milk are usually just out, or else we are asked an extra charge for these luxuries. We are seldom served over two slices of bread; if any of the slices are not served, No matter how deficient the supply, there is never any diminish in the charge. I stood by a laborer who had hot cakes, when he left the table he handed the propriator 20 cents. I sat in the very same place and asked for the very same order. It was served to me the same quantity, and 20 cents. The service is usually poor. We find, if a number of us enter one of these places at the same time, those who order service at the same time will serve forget the first order given. Eating is my "long suit," and I made it a gift to me. I will wait as much as I serve so often that it became a standing joke with the company. Now I enter last, make a lot of fuss, take a table near me, and wait for waitress every time they enter from the kitchen. I admit this isn't playing the game according to "Hoyle," which is fair in business, but I love to eat and to fight to get it. There's the excuse. There are first-class hotels, restaurants and lunch rooms, in which we have been served when one considers the vast number of the other kind distributed about the country. * * * * Colored fairs in the South are becoming more numerous and popular and they are a credit to the people who give them. We often see exhibitions and amusements that the white fairs give, and are largely attended by white and colored.

Many of those who attended the concert came early and built bonfires so they could stay late. This week is our first week in opera house. Great crowds gather here and the concerts and the house was packed from top to bottom by the men, women and children who plauched the stage at the great Splegel scientific lectures on most every disease known to human race. Mr. Robert Miller, alto and saxophone, and Mr. Miss Essie Loma, pianist and soprano singer. Both have to be great additions to the company, but with his band, playing classical and standard selections, Mr. say to the colored people at the North Carolina, Negro Fair; "I know there have been many people who did oppose your education and they did so because they thought it would be better for them," she told a story that Senator Vance once said that "instead of teaching a colored man "hic, hace, hoc," they'd better teach him "gice, gice, gice," she said. She taught the Negro, and I think it ought to be taught the white man. And I don't think that because either is educated he would be able to teach it because I am proud of North Carolina's colored people. They are the best in the world (great applause). I am not saying that because either is educated he would be able to teach it because it because of what you have done. There are intelligent colored men in this audience whose fathers and mothers were born in bondage, but they ought not to be taught it because of what they have accomplished something that I never knew any man to accomplish. I have heard of a man who was a very diligent meeting who was asked if she had ever seen a perfect woman. She said she never saw one, but she had heard of one—her husband's first wife (laughter). She had only heard of it. "Why, I saw something a few minutes ago that makes the man who grew this vine so much better. Wake county Negro farmer, who made 1,000 pounds of lint cotton on one acre of land. Think two bales of cotton on one acre of land. Think two bales of cotton on one acre is a good citizen. He is a progressive man. He produces two bales of cotton on one acre to his race (great applause). "Why, you have helped to raise enough Irish potatoes to put them in three bushels. He has raised three times as much from the seaboard to the summit of the Great Smoky mountains, and you have raised three times as much for Irish sweet potatoes are three times as good as Irish. You have raised 11,000,000 bushels of hay over bushels on earth and bison. You have raised 685,000 bales of cotton. But there'll be no cotton picked in North Carolina today. All the pickers "But let me give you a little advice. I know you are going to plant more cotton this year, but I want to plant more on the 685,000 bales this year than the 335,000 last year. There's no way to stop you from growing more cotton (hugger). So go ahead and plant all you please. Nobody can stop you. But before you do, you need to eat more bread (Cries of Amen, and Gawd bless that toking man). Then the winds of adversity may come and the rains may come and the floods may come and the hell may be thrown in for good measure, but your house will stand because it is built upon meat and bread." (Great applause.) A grand reception and ball was tendered to the Smart Set Company while they were building the Masonic Temple and was largely attended by the best people of the city. Messrs. Simmons and Martin were responsible for the ocean which was greatly present. Miss Ethelle Proctor was given a rousing reception by friends and relatives in her home town, Asheville, N. C. A large bouquet of carnations and American beauty was presented to her across footlights. Lester McDaniels, champion trick biceps and well-known vaudeville and minstrel performer, has fully recovered from his severe illness, but his chances are good if he listens to the advice of his mother, with whom he has a beautiful seven-room cottage in the suburb of the city and a farm, where they raise all the necessities of life, a few family items.

After coming out of Canada, where business was not very good, we played three towns in Montana four towns in Idaho, where Thomas Harris, principal of Nashville Students last season, joined us, and Ed Tolliver, the monologist. After Harris and Tolliver joined we jumped directly to the Hipopromode theatre highly entertained at the Workmen's club. From there to THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Lewiston, Idaho, for four days, where the fair was going on and where the boys joined the half-breed Indian cat, and the other men were to go on and the other men were to wait in an auto accident. From there to the end of the cold specialist. From there to Pendleton, I won't say anything about Pendleton, only Smith, and covered talk. There was no any nipper for us. I was present. I was about twenty ladies present. Look out. T. & T. & W. Big Chief has his name, and he has a big name. I know your scalp, Alabama. I know something. Someone is looking for you. Better keep on the good side of me, you'll see them in the man, and that's your "laundry" not calling on naives, you know. From Pendleton, Ore., we are now in Baker City, doing stand-out for the first time. I am not here, but this afternoon to the greatest dinner of the season by Grant Minor, the veteran senior singer, whom a friend is dead, but who is very much alive, and who has a beautiful home, plenty ofவு and a day of life. I am a disbelief we had today would take too much space to write. Mr Minor is engaged to be married to a Mrs. Alice and who was prepared to be married to us, and all we can say is great. From Baker City we go to Boise for one week. Tolliver sends regards to the first day I have made a call before Herndon sends regards to Mrs. Brenta Bansley of Los Angeles and says, "I'll see you soon." All mail will reach us at the 11th week of the next year. Read The Freeman for all news all of the time. NOTES FROM TERRY'S UNCLE TOM'S CABIN CO.

They were very glad to see the big show, but sorry we did not stay. We took a good time, the size show made a good reputation, the last season. Madam Tolliver, our prima donna, left the show at Winston-Salem to visit her mother at the home house. She had a few people in a couple of weeks. Leggs & McGinty, sister team, are still with the big show and doing nicely. Misses are still with the same and are not nearer in a credit to the act in her winning ways.

Arthur Williams, singing, and the new, is still with us; he will be seen in vaudeville this winter. Ramsey & Brown are still with us and say, "Yes, we are with you."

He has proved that novelty is the most common one, and this show is taking for us. All tөлiver on the step he is taking for us. Next season he did this from a novelties than did this from. Then no too big for him. Next season Henry Wooden and Al Wells will produce a novelty act that will surpass anything that has been performed by Negro novelties. The Wooden bicycle has unicycle experts are working hard on their new act and say, "Look out, noveltic acts," our new bicycles and bicycles will be a new system by white or colored acts. Miss Susie Cooksey, our ticket seller, is well and doing nicely. While in Winston-Salem, he has also been a great man, and the time they had was a knockout. After such a tremendous success this season with his show, Mr. Alexander has been used to, but before the public has the largest aggregation even at the same time, he has a colored manager—a Negro circus—and he deserves great credit for undertaking such a large amount of work. He has a great skill, he's called a low-level novelty acts suitable for a circus. Watch The Freeman for his ad. NOTES FROM J. C. O'BRIEN'S GEORGIA MINSTRELS No. We write to let our many friends know that we are still in North Carolina and we are still in the midst of the show. Everybody is in good health.

So far we have forgotten to mention our little mascot, the baby Engel, and the dog John Sullivan. The dog is about three months old and is seen nightly on the lot with his master. The show is run by the dog and the girl, his or her own place. While filling an engagement in Tarboro, N. C., last mon- MACEO THEATRE, TAMPA, FLA.

After the engagement the boys took a trip home. Next was Emmett Athony, the yodler, and the boy favorite and always makes good.

Alex. Marks 654 Broadway, New York City Culligan's IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. BY HAROLD C. McGATH. PREPARES TO DEFEND TITLE. (he tried to duck out now he would Jesse Willard Finishes Engagement With Show—Eastern Promoters After Bout—$32,000 Offer is Made—Heavyweight Champion Probably Will Fight at New Orleans in March. NEW ORLEANS, La. Nov. 4—Jessie Willard, 42, of New Orleans, finished his engagement with a "wildest" show here tonight and announced that he intended henceforth to give a performance to the high-profile Willard and Tom Jones, his manager, expect to remain in New Orleans several days to consider a proposition of loan from promoters to defend his championship some fighter they may select, in this city next March, while the Mardi Gras festivities and horse racing are in full-swing. Representative of eastern fight promoters also is expected here to meet night, to be a champion, according to reports here. Jones said Willard has received an offer of $32,000 to Willard, win, lose or draw, for a fight. "My experience with the circus has been both enjoyable and profitable, but I don't know what it is. While I have boxed three rounds twice a day and had plenty of outdoor exercise, I don't know how much weight about 260 pounds. Just now it seems that Frank Moran probably has the best claim to a match with me but my opponent will be selected." DILLON SMASHES WAY TO VICTORY Hossier Tears Loose After Fourth Round and Rolls Up More Points Than Needed to Win Over Weinert. NEW YORK, Nov. 1—Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, "man-killing Jack," smashed his way to a one-sided victory in the first round of the Madison Square Garden recently. During the first four rounds Weinert boxed with exceptional skill and rare judgment. He fairly tangued out in front, but then the tire turned and at the end the Newark lad was shorn of his strength, worn down to a haftoot walk and walked back to the game, saved him from a knockout. No Backward Steps. It was a triumph of a rushing, savagely aggressive player, invincing punch over a clever boxer, whose courage can not be doubted. During the entire ten rounds Dillon never took a backward step. His club-like arms never worried. Somewhere in the ranks of the heavyweights this side of Jack Willard a man-for-a-four who can match a hurler in a hurdle, for a bout fails to call for this name. In the opinion of the crowd which saw tonight's battle, Dillon Should Have Scored K. O. But he had the decisiveness of Dillon's victory, by giving glowing opportunities to bring the bout to a swift conclusion. In every case, the tactically at the mercy of his opponent, but Jack was wild with his right, when one well-drammed measure would have brought about a knockout. A smashing, relentless attack upon Weinert's body decided the issue in Dillon's grim patience an assortment of jabs, bolts and hooks on the face and head for four rounds, Dillon cut loose. He was a strong, immobile shoulder guard, and ducked under the stinging left that Weinert let drive at his opponent, and was served only as a target for the wallops of his opponent. Weinert weighed 171 pounds and Weinert 185, the previous contest Dillon knocked out Weinert. MATHEWSON'S BASEBALL CHAT PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE This is going to be a busy winter in baseball. There will be many trades. I look much like me, club Giants won't make it when we take it this year when it takes the trail for Marlin next spring. McGraw won't start the season. What I will do next season I don't know. It all depends on how my arm works this winter. I am going to decide the season and out of the left shoulder. If it is not better by next spring when I raise my arm, I am going to decide the season for it. I have been to see all the doctors and honesters in the country, but none of them seems to have a cure. Anyway, I went to see a man in Philadelphia who is supposed to have fixed up some ball players. I tell me what is the matter with you," he said first. "I just want to look you over and make up my mind for myself." I examined me and worked on me. Perhaps he can do something toward working a cure. There has been a lot of Harvard baseball team next spring, and I had a chat with the manager of the club when I was in Boston for the series. However, I had to put "I can't do anything now," I told Mary. "My contract with the run, the York club is still running, and I find I can pitch next season I won't do any coaching even in the early spring, will give all my time in the introduction condition." I won't coach Harvard unless I find the pain still lurks in my neck and I can't play. I left open for me, but I hope I am back in the old uniform and ready to deliver. I would hate to think I had to play. I left open for me, but I hope I am back in the old uniform and ready to deliver. When old Cy Young took off his uniform, never to put it on again, they tell me it was a sad day in Boston. He was to pitch a game. He worked and worked. Finally he threw down the ball and said: "He was to pitch the clubhouse to hang up my uniform, and I will never take it down again." This reads like the ravings of a sob sister. We'll change the subject. We'll just keep it simple. The world's series the statement that the reason Alexander was not started in the final game of the big quarrel was that he was not a starter. As I can find out this is not true. Pat Moran was thinking baseball for the team when he sent Mayer in to use winning the fifth one if he did not carry any pitching ammunition to start in the sixth in Boston, and Alexander was practically the only bet for Pat is one of the shrewdest workers of pitchers in the country. Of course, he was not the only one who knew why Alexander had not started, and the report he had a lame back was just about as good as any, but I watched the Phillies had been forced to meet the Nets in a game in Boston, and I think the spectators would have found Alexander's had been cured over night. With that in mind, I have spent those batsmen around, and they tell me Leonard could not have back strong. However, that is over. To set up to date. I can spear the rumor that McGraw is going to quit the team, but I don't want the duckering to buy the Cubs, but Mac don't want to leave the Giants, and don't impetse, the owner of the club, to leave the team. I don't think baseball, but he feels it he tried to duck out now he would be going under fire. He is not that bad. "I wouldn't leave a club when it was in a tail-end position unless they fired me, he remarked when the rumor he heard was true, that he was dering around. "I did have a deal in the wind a year ago for the Cubs, but through, as you know, because they would not release me from my contract." I don't doubt that McGraw would like to play some major some day soon, for the wear and tear of that life is a tough one. It is only because he does not think the Cubs are a chance and Stallings and some more do and did, that he has lasted as long he has. He has Max would like to have a personal interest in some day, for he is a very good business man. But he will be at the head at least for two years, and probably until he builds another winner.

BATTLING JACK RUSSELL RETURNS—IN TRAINING Montgomery, Ala. Sporting Editor The Freeman. He has returned from Savannah, Ga., where he met Leo Williams, a middleweight, and is now in training for Leo Johnson for a twenty-one year contract. He has pitted lightweight championship of the world. Now, Johnson is a rough and rugged fighter. Russell is known to be a tough man, and he is clever with lop in either hand, and is clever with and knows when to hit. Now, I should have been no definite understanding as to where they will meet, but would like for some promoter to suggest a place.

Oct. 29 — Jose Figarola was killed last Friday when he was struck by a pitched ball. Mendez was doing by pitching against some of the fastest semi-pro teams in that city. He was well known in Chicago, where he had a host of friends. Last spring he pitched against the Phillies and also worked against the Phillies and beat them. Mendez is prostrated with grief over the accident, and it is feared here that it may affect his pitching from LEO PATTERSON WINS FROM BATTLING BALL. (By Ed Rogers.) Special to The Freeman. WEST BADEN, Ind., Nov. 1, 1915. Leo Patterson made Battling Ball throw in the sponge at the beginning of the seventh round, in what was to be a ten-round go, at the West Baden Opera House, Thursday, October 25th. Ball showed up as a first-class fighter, but was surely not in condition or went too fast in the early rounds. Patterson had a hard time keeping up with Ball for the first four rounds, as Ball seemed to have some scientific foot work. Patterson reached Ball time and again with short-arm punches that gave him a bad lip and bad eye that showed up the next morning. Both boys worked well and the audience was pleased with the fight. While Promoter Beachem promised Ball a return match, The preliminary was another good go between Lewis (Kid) and Linton and Cyclone Rudolph. These boys went in, both weighing 105 pounds. They were fighting every minute of the four rounds, and the audience applauded him and again for the many ducks and swings the boys missed. There was no decision, but the general belief was that Kid Upton was the aggressor. The writer can not close without making mention of the big battle royal Kelly, George Taylor, Charles Metcalf, George Spratts, and Green Caldwell. These boys were all employees of R. K. Campbell, who had gotten their training with the pick and shovel. They fought for at least fifteen minutes without a rest. The fight was won by Green Caldwell, who had cold in a minute or two but he recovered and went at least five minutes longer. The fight was won by Green Caldwell, who had only one eye: the other being totally blind. Promoter Beacham would like to hear from some good people. Burl Smith. Young Creamo would like to meet Evans Rolston or Kid Snead. A WORD FROM T. P. KELLY'S DIXIE MISTRELS This show is still in the state of Michigan and doing grand, even with weather bad. The show runs just two hours and every one is working hard, and when the show is out and over very often you can hear some of the patrons say. "Well, we didn't expect the show to be so good," which goes to show when a performer is before the public he should try at all times, as you never can tell who is watching you. We get The Freeman every Saturday and it is always welcomed with a smile. There are only sixteen in our company and we all read The Freeman. Teddy Redmond sends regards to Jack Johnson, J. C. Miles and Freddy Pratt. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER BROTHERS FAIL IN BIG LEAGUES Many Instances Cited Showing Where Brothers of Famous Pill Chasers Fall Down—Two Sets In Big Show Today. Another Maisel to Be Given Trial. To Play With Detroit. An interesting question for baseball fans to discuss in their leisure moments away from the ball grounds is the reason for the failure—almost absolute—of two brothers attaining success on the diamond at the same time. This condition is true of the majority of sports competitions, and only a few cases can be cited where brothers attained success together. In baseball this season there are two sets of brothers who are possessed of considerable ability, for they are holding down their berths in the major leagues. Bill Killifer of the Philadelphia Nationals and Wade Killifer of the Cincinnati Reds are brothers, and so are Wally Schang of the Athletics NY FRITZ MAISEL, NEW YORK AMERICANS' SPEED BOY. and Bobbie Schang, formerly of the Pittsburgh Pirates and now with the New York Giants. Fritz Maisel has a brother, George, who is a sensation in the New York State league and who will get a trial with Detroit this fall. In the old days there were the Te beaus and the Gleasons; then came the Deleantahs, Ed and Jim and Frank, Fred Clarke, Pittsburgh manager, and his brother Josh were in the majors at the same time for a short period, when Josh was with Cleveland. Jess Stovall was just going back when his brother George came up. Bobby Roth, once of the Chicago White Sox, now with the Indians, has kept the family in the game since his brother Frank dropped out. The Hinchman boys, Bill and Harry, were on the Cleveland club together for a short time. Family failures have been more numerous. Ty Cobb's brother Paul is only a fair minor leaguer. Christy Mathewson's brother Hank couldn't make a go of it; neither could Roger Bresnahan's brother Joe. Johnny Ever's brother Joe is a minor leaguer, and so is Ed Groh, a brother of Heinle of the Cincinnati Reds. Harry Coveleski has a brother who, he says, is a better natural pitcher than he, but this boy has yet to get above the Pacific Coast league, and another outfielding brother of Covey's never got above a state league in Pennsylvania. Veen Gregg's younger brother was ried by Cleveland and sent back. Ed Walsh's brother looked good for a time, then went to the bushes. The same thing happened to Harry Camnitz, a brother of Howard, who starred with Pittsburgh George Tyler, the Boston Brave left hander, had a brother who was tried by Boston as a catcher and sent back. Fred Smith, brother of Charley, who was with Washington, Boston and the Cubs, did fairly well. Numbers For Michigan Eleven. Michigan university football players will wear numbers in their contests this fall. WHAT HAGENBACK & WALLACE CIRCUS BUNCH ARE DOING. We are now on our way south for the closing of the season, doing good business. Owing to Mr. Reld's finish, the team was able to close out September 15th, has caused a delay in corresponding with our paper, The Fremont. Mr. Robert D. L. Stevenson was given charge where he left off and is closing out. The band now consists of Robert Stevenson, cornet, better known as Steve Howard; Alman, cornet, known as Pigie; James McCoy, alto, known as Pigie; James Peters, baritone phenomenon known as Detroit; James Berry, bass; James McCoy, trombone; Toby; George King, tuba, known as Speedy. Mr. King is now using a Cerrana tuba, monster E-fat, a Dugger, and a player using one. Jim Diggs, mason player known as Beans; William Mason, bass drummer. We are now featuring some of the players: "Ringling Bros. Grand Entry," "Good Luck," "King Bombardon," "Semper Flies," "St. Louis Blues," "Jojo Blues" and "mite Rag," "Colonial Rag," "Trombonium." Mr. Berry is due much credit for the team's trained while playing "Trombonium." Mr. Atchison has a clarinet solo to himself and Mr. Peters, baritone, and Mr. Hutchison have indulgesible parts to themselves. While playing the "Memphis Blues" while in Washington, D.C., there was a band for a block. From this one other others joined, men and women, of our race and before we reached the lot on our way back the parade was blocked by the police when we did reach the lot it was estimated six hundred were picked up. But say, boys, they sure did work us while in Martinsburgh, W.Va., the band was given a surprise (bouquet). All the boys send their best regards to the reputation made on the Hagenbeck and Wallace circus and elsewhere, and hope him future success, as we are all Mr. J. A. Buckner and Minstrel Company joined us at Ft. Wayne, Ind., September 6, consisting of three girls and a boy, male team of Lewis and Lewis, Miss Lewis is singing "He's a Rag Picker," and "Memphis Blues," and say, boys, she surely does a song and is get-together with Miss Minstrel cabaret entertainer from the Log Cabin at Louisville, Ky., she is singing "A Long Way From Home" and "A Spark of Burning," and making them like it. Miss Edna Barrett, vaudeville star from Philadelphia, Pa., singing "Jubilee" and "Balloon" with them, taking them aplaund for a come-back. Mr. J. A. Buckner, of St. Louis, Mo., and Mr. J. A.

At this writing everybody is getting along fine. Mr. Al Boyd, our stage director, is putting on some swell shows. This show carries one of the best minstrel shows, the road of planation. One of the most "good" one of our best shows of the week. The show is opened by a minstrel first part, with live comedians, two straights and two ladies. The comedians are a little freeman. Carlson, a friend of the "that man" George Bell, and Shawn James. Mr. Al Boyd and T. H. Jones, straights, and Mrs. Coro Boyd and Mrs. Susie Freeman. Mr. Chub and Hawkins is at the piano and Mr. Alexis, Shawn. The show is the first place for the "Billie, Freeman, in a line of talk that takes the house. After that comes Boyd & Boyd Trio, which takes two and three. This act is one of Mr. Boyd's own. Mr. George Bell, the show is never the same. The show is closed by the clever Seymour James, monologues, vocalist and dancing wonder, with some clever hard-shoe dancing. The after piece is a musical comedy, where the whole company is seen. The show is being new nights. A week's show. We change every night. Seymour James would like to hear from Pape & Dalas. Important business. Mr. Al Boyd would like to be his friend to write a new show. It really is a member of all dressing care The Freeman. We read the news every week. A NEW MUSICAL ACT. The Unbleached Trumpeters, a company of high class musicians, will be seen in vaudeville the season, off to a concert in the musical director of the Alabama Minstrels, has put his energy together to frame someone, and still keep away from the genre run of slapstick comedy that has been so much seen in colored musical acts, also doing away with other crude "Bammer" tunes, and so many other large instruments that are a nuisance to the performer that he is not used to. The company will not be large, but will be a large band, the troupe. Miss Bessie Edgington, who last January took up the cornet and has made enough progress to hold first place in the concert band, will also be with the act, as a very valuable assistant to Mr. Smith in classics and popular trumpet music, and will be quite a surprise to many of Miss Edgington's friends in and out of the profession to even meet of her own. The length of time that Miss Edgington has had on the cornet she deserves is not much longer, but she "Bumpski," the comedian of the act, is now to most everyone, but is a comedian of high caliber and fine delivery. She can not have to depend upon music alone. MESSAGE TO ALL PERFORMERS You will notice the ad in this week's Freeman for performers and musicians; you may see an ad a year, because when we get people that are so sober, reliable and want to work, why, we keep them; not charge them costumes and a two-weeks hold-back. This show hasn't had a hold-back in six years; we don't need one. We don't need Nauville Students carry, the show furnishes all wardrobe. You can see the reason we are particular about people who are not Nauville students, and those who are looking for simply a change of climate or adventure do not bother me by writing. Want people who have left this show leaves it with a bankroll. We are on our way to California, we are, of course, such as Clunes, Pasadena theater in Pasadena, Cal, and Clunes theater, Santa Ana, and our contract, know that the larger show we have. We have boys here who have been with us for five and six years. When you go out a show, we better go out a show, as this is no place for you; but if you are reliable, want to work and save some money, I can. We want people who can sing, especially a tenor singer for quartet, and brass men in all lines.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA The repainting and decorating of Gibson's New Standard Theater, South Street, near Twelfth, which has taken several months from the beginning of the year 1960, was a warm, bright color now beautifies the interior. The decorations are entirely red, being done by Italian, an Italian artist, a general color, a small red and gold, with warm greens and melancholy brown or white, and the borders and omnents. The entire plain field of the yellow, treated gold and white, is a warm glow over all the and hels with the creamy cornice and warm walls of the interior.

The sword of Toussaint L'ouverture achieved for the blacks of Haiti that this strength both the sword of Washington and the arm to accomplish for the people of the United States; it established a republic for government and work freedom for the civil government and this freedom have been maintained for more than one hundred years by a strong army established and maintained by the valor and courage of black men. He bravely pressed in all parts of the world for centuries. From the hour of Napoleon Bonaparte's perility to Toussaint Vinson's "landing party" the flag of Haiti has never lowered to the powerful governments that have menaced her But now this nationality which has been embalmed into a classic worthy of ancient Greece, by the matchless sequence of the well-chilling energy with eclipse, if not final extinction. Haiti, the faintest pearl of the sea, the richest and most fertile spot on the face of the earth. The small, degenerate day. Her ruling spirits, the men who have held the sacred trust of safeguarding the destinations of the Republic, have placed the private funds of the state. The final. Instead, of preserving the sword of Toussaint Louverture unarmished to uphold and defend the national life and honor, they have to be the most unglory and unkind of internal strife and civil war. In this condition of affairs we do not object if a strong and powerful neighbor peacefully intervenes to assess the results of the harmony in the national household, but we want to be assured that her motives are disinterested and that all her overtures are inspired by those high and which will back from ulterior purposes. The United States has gone into Haiti, professed to play the "Big Brother" act by restoring the property of the country. It is the most important bankruptcy to prevent the creditor governments of Europe from violating the "Monroe Doctrine" by gaining a foot-hold in Haiti. Bishop John J. Jackson is the first of the Review, pointed out how that the attitude of the United States toward Haiti would be influenced by its desire to fix an open gateway with All of this aside, we accept that our government has yilal interests in the country, and that the side of the government of the United States has not squared with the position it has taken toward other weaker nations in this hemisphere. We have not been through the State Department that this country is endeavoring to sufficiently coerce its neighbors into acquiring territory, within its dominions, all of which means that the United States is preparing to go in and exploit the people and the resources of that beautiful President Woodrow Wilson's dilatory attitude toward Mexico is in poor contrast with the violent haste with which he harbored and harbored of Haiti. That something defensible and radical in regard to Haiti should be done, we admit; but we protest the brutality of Haiti's arrogance. We know white America too well. Conditions are no worse in Haiti than they have been in the United States. Haiti are in no wise comparable with the flood-tide of passion which is sweeping Europe as a devouring flood. The pious face of Haiti is that it looks like one who robes the face of Christ, bides a demon robed in blood, who comes to subjugate and coerce all dark-hued humanity not subject to his We hope that the Haitians will unsheathe the rusty sword of Toussaint L'Ouverture and the slave of liberty and freedom. Of late the Haitians have been using the sword against each other for personal aggrandement and to "compete" some American Negroes have THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER said; "Negroes to counsel with white Americans as to the fate of Hali!" The idea of an illusion and a lie. President Woodrow Wilson's cheap white democrats are eagerly anxious to go ahead with the idea of common American "niggers." A commission of American Negroes act as a security department means only that if they fall to coincide with the prevailing American idea, their council would be ignore. It will be better far that the Halians unsheathe the rusty sword of Toussaint L'Ouverture and wield it against their national freedom, and independence, either through schemes of trailing homeland or commercial aggression, the United States.
