NUMBER 5 BISHOP WALT EMINENT PRELATE VISITS THE ORDER NOT DISTURBED OPEN LETTER TO Wishes Responsibility for Racial Recogn School Situation as Tense as Ever— Rev. J. B. Colbert—A New H Special to THE FREEMAN. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26.—Bishop Alexander Walters spent a portion of last week in the city, looking after business matters of the church and helping those things he had at the white house and left with President Wilson an "open letter," in which he urged the chief magistrate to that nation of worthy colored men for such positions as recorder of deeds, and "put it up" to the senate to confirm or reject them as that nation's proper action. The bishop has made a courageous fight for his people from the beginning of the present administration to that at the psychological moment something of benefit to the race would be granted through the broad-purity, assisted by a similar element in the Republican membership of the nation's highest legislative body. He is of the opinion, and is the president, that a majority of the senate is disposed to do the right thing by the colored citizens, without result. The bishop is anxious that the matter be put to a final test, and that the status of the colored man be clarified, in the presence of an eligibility as an official factor and his acceptability as a political quantity. He therefore asks that the President not merely clear the presentation places, the type of the recordership of deeds, and then let the blame for rejection, self-esteem, and test of sentiment. He wishes to know, once for all, just "where the Negro stands." The bishop's letter, appearing in the Washington papers of the nation, is the test of sentiment and is causing comment among all classes throughout the country. Bishop Walters Royally Received at Tuskegee Institute. The Spirit of Washington Alive at Tuskegee. "The mortal substance of Booker T. Washington may have been resting in the tomb on that pictureque hillside, and the enormous work of the teaching corps here and there, as I noted the clock-like premiss with which everything was done through with. I could not be satisfied of the orderly fashion in which the routine of the day and night was gone through with. I could not be satisfied with the more thorough organization within these gates!" Had Dr. Washington been there in person the system could not have been more perfectly organized. Anywhere a more thorough organization of forces, nor a more harmonious association of workers than a Tuskegee man, have always been standing the painful fact that the genius which gave all of this its birth and momentum had passed from the tomb to the grave. He always had superior educator and typical American, but I am now more deeply impressed than ever before the marvelous and his power to hold the affections of his co-workers, even after death has claimed him as its own. The whole man has perceptible than structure of brick and mortar; he has assembled more than a group of salaried employees. He has instilled a whole set of principles to keep his virilence effective—the Tuskegee spirit—of which he was wont to speak with such tenderness and constance. He shall have a future of Tuskegee Institute with a solicitude born of an enduring appreciation of the laureates of the Major Moton and his able corps of assistants a continuation of the triumphs achieved by the deceased leader, because they will follow faithfully the one he has blazed for their guidance." --- JAN 28 1916 PUBLIC LIBRARY ERS IN SOUTH USKEGEE; IMPRESSED BY THE BY DEATH OF PRESIDENT PRDSIDENT WILSON Mention or Otherwise Shifted to U. S. Senate —New Books by Dr. C. V. Roman and Hotel—Struggle for Delegates. Bishop Walters left Sunday for New York City. In a few days Mrs. Walters, his wife, the silent son, Hilla, will sail to New York, Haltit, to spend a season, both for her own health and to enable the young man to familiarize himself with the heir, his native and his native natives. He has mastered the Gallic tongue, as far as text-books will permit, and has shown a remarkable ability to teach the French, now until the Louisville meeting of the Zion General Conference, Bishop Walters will be very busy, rounding out the details of his new book. He is enjoying the best of health and his never-failing optimism renders him the best of company. He had a multi-faceted educators during his brief sojourn here. The School Situation as Tense an Ever. The public school question is as tense as the public opinion as to how the desired reforms can be brought about, but there is a determined sentiment that reforms must come, in one fashion or another, and the community has proposed some radical legislation, and the community has been thrown into chaos in the conflict between the de-legislators and the community have been crying that a change means the injection of "politics"—as if the whole trouble has not already been too much politics—and the reformers who fighted for a new and suarer deal. There seems to be more fault found with the method of administering the militia itself. This is the root of the effort to get rid of the system, for many reasons, without upsetting the whole outfit at one full swoop. The conservative element is convinced, however, that the proper authority should be given even if nothing else is done, should be transferred from the District Supreme Court to the commissioning board, and would be responsible to the proper authority and which would be more likely to respond to the wishes of the citizens. The commissioning board has practically ignored the sentiments of the citizens and has been responsible to no authority but their own. A new Board of Education, appointed by the commissioners will be expected to reorganize the colored schools, be reorganized, and be assistant superintendent, and making such other changes as will yield better results, which the masses have confidence. The matter is now being aired in Congress and it is hoped that a bit more effort will be made to relief and insure a fair and square deal for all concerned. Two New Books by Leading Thinkers of the Race. The long-looked-for work of Dr. C. V. Roman, the Nashville, Tenn. philosopher and author, and fresh from the press of F. A. Davis & Co. of Philadelphia. The book is handsomely bound and contains nearly 500 pages of valuable content touching the race problem, from the standpoint of a scholar and man of affairs, from the organization and the Negro, and bids fair to be one of the best sellers of the year. We shall have more to say if further. Another book that will be published early in February is "The Historical Hand-Book and Illustrated Directory of the General Conference of the M Zion Church," by Rev. Jesse C. Colbert, chairman of the committee on entertainment of the General Conference of the M Zion Church, assemble quilvius next May. The book is to be a forerunner and guide to those interested in the assembly of quilvius. It is quadrennial session of the lawmaking body of the church of Vark. The book is to be a guide to the pages of bits of history of the achievements of men and women of the Zion connection and of the race at large. The book is to be an abundant and statistics of great value will be a feature of the production. Both books are intended to intermingle literature. Fine Colored Hotel in Sight. A company of white and colored capitalists is being formed for the purpose of building a new house for colored patrons. There is a feeling that such a structure will fill a long-felt want in this community, and which entertains more conventions and conferences among the race than any other. Most of the community is likely Chicanas. The building is to be in the fashionable uptown section, where the bulk of the well-to-do Negroes reside, and it will be modern in all its appointments and accommodations, and residence apartments under a single roof. The building is to be seven stories in height and will cost not less than $100,000. Most of the committee on ways and means was held Wednesday evening in the Real Estate Trust building, under call of Judge Robert H. Terrell. Mrs. Bessie Nicholson "Surprised." A large group of friends assembled at the house, and Mrs. George A. Johnson, 240 P street, on Wednesday evening and tendered a delightful "surprise" to Mrs. Bessie Nicholson. The house unmoved from her V. street home on a bugus hurry-up call. She accepted the pleasing situation and the merriment was soo good. W. Thompson added as master of ceremonies and the address on behalf of the "surprise" was delivered by Rev. D. E. Wiseman, of the Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer. Mrs. Pannia A. Waters, mother of the surprise, CONGRESS PROHIBITION baked the birthday cake and the culinary arrangements were in the hands of Mrs. Florence Johnson, Mrs. D. E. Wiseman officiated as chaperon for the young ladies and Prof. Flickling performed on the piano; the bodymade him a beautifulished good look and many more happy birthdays for the guest of honor of the evening. The Struggle for District Delegates. The Struggle for District Delegates The quadrennial struggle for election as delegates to the Republican National Convention on June 10, man, white, and Dr. P. W. Price, colored, seem to have united their fortunes as one of the tickets and big names in the race. Dr. C. H. Marshall, Editor Finley Wilson, of the Eagle, Benjamin Gaskell, of the Eagle, and the material for alternates, Mr. Wilson has been elected president of the District Republican League, embracing members from the twenty-second legislature. The election is developing an immense following. Jesse H. Foster, a member of the committee to make arrangements for the election, declares that the election is in order and precaution will be taken to see that ballots are cast only by qualified voters and that the count shall be absolutely accurate. The committee have made other elections a scandal will not be tolerated this year, is the objection declaration, the committee has been given to endeavor to send their representative to this year's convention, 'tis said, and will be 'up to the people' to see to it that they get the man they want. R. W. Tompkins Given Back to Earth. Mr. Richard W. Tompkins, one of the most widely-known men of affairs in this section of the country, died in June 1514 S Street northwest, following a long illness. An operation to avoid gangrene, involving the amputation of his thought to have hastened the end. The funeral services were held Friday at the James Brothers' Chapel, 19th Street northwest, where a memorial of a crowd that tested the capacity of the edifice. Social Lodge No. 1, Free and Accepted Masons, had made arrangements for L. Sydhor, Worthy, Master, and Andrew J. Payne, secretary of the order. Rector T. J. Brown, of St Luke's P. E. member, conducted the religious ceremonies. A selected choir rendered the music by Mary L. Europe at art, Miss Carol W. Wavlace, of the public schools, was the principal soloist. Rector Brown talked briefly on the "Workers in the Vineyard." Mr. Tompkins was for nearly half a century connected with the Treasury Department, and in the prime of his career he was a finest bookkeeper and most expert accountants in the Government service, irrespective of color. He wrote a handwritten letter to the president of figures. He was a prominent factor in the affairs of the Freedman's Bank in the 70's and at different times was a member of the choirs of the city. He was an accomplished musician and won laurels as a reacontent he was of the first rank. And many a party has been made happy by his remarkable gift for repartee and story-telling. Mr. Tompkins leaves a wife, formerly Mary Arnold, and a son to mourn his loss. STANDARD LIFE HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING. Emmett J. Scott Elected Director- Capital Stock Increased to $125,000.

INDUSTRIALISM PERSONIFIED ANALYSIS OF MERIT OF ITS INVESTIGATORS IN CHICAGO "SPECIAL" EDUCATION FOR NEGROES IN SCHOOLS THE GHOST OF WASHINGTON UNSEEN The Superintendent of Schools Lends Himself to Movement to Build Memorial Industrial School for Negroes—Movement Opposed as Separate School Menace Dr. Venerable of St. Louis Promoter—News and Personals. Special to The Freeman. (By Sylvester Russell.) Chicago Special. The dictating of policies for a race of people who are weak and almost helpless, along side those who are willing to be wending its way into the public school system of Chicago since the reorganization of the city. The response of the city own the schools and pay taxes for the free education of their children there, who are not the only people known for any number of the school board be interested in any new idea to separate actions. The police know the reason why nor without those who are interested in their children's progress shall be involved in the police action. The motive and assumed authority of the instigators of the movement. Grave information comes hither that John D. McCarthy, the police officer for colored public schools, was at the head of a movement to raise $80,000 to start an institution for colored children, the institution to be after the late Booker T. Washington. Among others mentioned were Robert D. Stuckard, David O. Dumbar, Edward O. Brown, Dr. Max Herchler and Jesse Spencer. There has been a complete denial of rumor there has been considerable smoke in denouncing an individual by the police, and investigating the two would be impolite to insinuate and not be responsible for some source of the report visibly personified. In conceiving the rumor and investigating the two would be impolite to insinuate and not be responsible for some source of the details involved in the characterization of both rumor and denial. Binga and His Battle-Axe. Bingn and His Battle-Axe. The mention of Jesse Binga, the radical estate head of a white syndicate, was one feature which caused interest to be manifested in the announcement. Then she was named after booker T. Washington, with the name of Binga, who died in 1921. She was named the Wizard of Tuskegee and without the name of Dr. George C. Hall, chief architect of the Chicago or the name of Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist-benefactor, did not sound plausible to the best inference and everybody knew that Binga's settlement work had only been centered escape from misrepresentation would be to get his battle-axe, see a State street reporter and ask for a denial. The initial was as follows: "I have never heard only through the papers of such a man, not be one to sanction such a movement, as I am not for separate schools." With this understanding it is clear to be proceed any further if there were any truth in the initiative alternative. Shoop's Shadow of the South. Whatever movement is made in the North that has the flavor of segregation, in the building of new schools, in some way with white Southern emigration who settle in the North and in some way with white Southern emigration who settle in the North and Negro. It has been rumored that Superintendent Shoop is a Southern man. This he can confirm or deny, but in many cases he has not. If true, would be characteristic of at least one similar move of the kind once made in New Jersey and denounced by the Southern people, who are remarkably good white people, both rich and poor, who leave the South. The people who are not numbered with the prejudiced class, and even love the Negro race as a people, there is an aim to deceive and subordinate the Negro destructively and in them is evolved a problem of undetected identity. Now it may not be that this is Shoop's shadow at all and we all in different occupations have been invariably unfolded in the North and the colored people have often suffered distress and consequence in cases we wear and/or help poor white Southerners who have been used to colored people all over in some way and lazy and sponged on their good nature. Shackles Scale the Story. Besides the denial which came from Jesse Binga, the movement was denied as a shower of shackles. But it was not the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and also Julius Rosenwald had received the same denial of time to abridge the effort and bombard the story, no matter from what source it came. The denial of the wall and smoke from the chimney seems to have landed the story but shackles have scaled it and in the debris authentic origin is still found within it. Chicago Cullings. W.

A good leader might be better if well followed. The trouble about most things you hear is that they are not so. Be an optimist—but don't give way too much when the other fellows go to "scrouging." Thomas A. Edison failed in his first scientific experiment. He did not stop at that. Look at him now! The American press, black and white, has given Major Moton the "glad hand" as principal of Tuskegee Institute. Isn't it queer that Vardaman, Tillman, et al., have not thought it necessary to bear the Negro from the field of aviation? Major R. R. Moton is attending strictly to his business and allowing the other fellows to do the worrying as to the scope of leadership. The formation of "quick-on-the-trigger" opinions is dangerous. Know the facts before arriving at conclusions, no matter what interests are involved. A Negro bank closes at Birmingham, Ala. A new one opens at Portsmouth, Va. Thus is the law of compensation reserved without the turning of a hair. Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, of the Poro College of Hair Dressing, St Louis, Mo., have given $5,000 to the fund for a colored Y. M. C. A. in that city. A business man who doubts the quality of his goods isn't anxious to advertise. Watch the merchant or manager who is able to take the people into his confidence. We want Abe Martin to tell us what has become of the old-fashioned girl to be married with the fellow who had nothing to spend but the evening with her. Public schools are not made primarily to provide persons with places as teachers or children in the best advantage of children in the matter of securing a usable education. Charity is one of the essential factors in life as it is lived, but it stitches together the way charity would be that which remedies the conditions that make charity necessary. If 1,000,000 Negroes give a quarter apiece that $2,000,000 can be raised in a jiffy. Let everybody give what they can, and let it be remembered that "he gives twice who gives quickly." We have little confidence in the "friend" who is ready to accept the lies of our enemies in preference to the faithful, hard-earned up by years of faithful service and unswerving loyalty.

It does not get what the eminent prelate the fault will not lie with the eminent prelate. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. The lynchers are starting the New Year with a carnival of bloody crimes. The lynchers confess they are powerless to stop this reign of anarchy and contemptuous disregard for law and order? The suggestion of James C. Napier for president of the National Negro Business League is being received with favor in all sections of the country. There is nothing that can be imagined. There isn't the slightest excuse for the lynchers to process the law will reach the most flagrant cases of criminality, be the offender black or white. A community that has been thinned than an individual law-breaker. An exchange says it sometimes happens that a community has with the best of intentions, is compelled to elect an undesirable man to the office of a same reason that a maiden marries a same importance suitor—"to get rid of him." The society folk are adpts at the "one-step," but the Washington Board at the noble art of "side-stepping." Note the Evans case, the "Rule 45" matter and the question of "frats" and "sororites" in the public schools. R. M.

It is a bright paper and stands for the best sentiment of the thrifty colored citizens in and about Durham, the firm whose our folks in the "Old North State." Congress has an eye out for the next bunch that comes to its doors, hat in hand, asking for an appropriation for an "exposition"—to display the program and any other number of years of freedom. Some worthy men may come, but the group is so strong at the Capitol that it will not be safe for anyone to offer a hint about Negro "expositions" for the session. The badger "guest" for the good Negro and drives our staunchest friends from us in the hour of need. We know a hustling fellow who, through trying to carry too many books, has been able to pass a certain examination that carried with it a promotion. The fifth time he succeeded, outranking by a quarter of the applicants, he had perfected himself in the weak points by repeated experimentation with the character of the test that he offered to work for. He does not give up at the first or second or third failure. Keep on keeping on! The Mutual Savings Bank opened its doors on January 11 at Portsmouth, Va. Its capital stock represents $10,000 to $25,000, with $10,000 up, $5,000 up, and R J. Kyles is secretary. On the board of directors and among the stockholders are many of the most substantial and progressive Christmas savings fund will be a prominent feature of the institution and a general company, a banking business be the business. The outlook registers as exceedingly bright. Baltimore Elks are new in their new home, 414 Hoffman street, which has been remodeled at an expense of $3,500. The building is three stories in height, with an assembly hall, incarnated by billiard tables. Its interior walls are frescoed, and the home is lighted by electricity and heated by wood-fired stoves. Hoffman street and runs back 143 feet. The Monumentals are said to have the best equipped home owned by any architect in the country. Bully for Baltimore. President Wilson minces no words in his praise of Major R. M. Moton as the head of Tuskegee Institute. Says the building is the most energetic and broad-gauged successor to Dr. Washington: "I believe that your selection as the head of the development of the Tuskegee Institute is extending to you my sincere congratulations." So say all of us! Give the black man a chance and he will "make good." R. J. Salisbury, for example, carries both white and colored passengers, on the Tar and Pimlico rivers in North Carolina, has had the degree renewed and undergoing examination at the hands of a government inspector. His authority covers the operation of steamers, 400 to 1000 miles to the North, and serves on freight river steamers of any tonnage. Mr. Salisbury is said to be the only colored man in the country enjoying the distinction here noted. The bitter pill at the heart of the New Negro into certain sections of cities is that these sections are usually most undesirable in the north, railroads or factories, or where living conditions are not pleasant. Naturally, the poorer of the north has cheaper neighborhoods, but there not be any barrier against a colored man of means making his home in the north. He has a high-grade, standard of living and pocketbook enables him to gratify them. A man is entitled to what he can say for and enjoy in orderly living. --- Business enterprises of the type of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Bank, the National Benefit Association, of Washington, D. C., give the Negro a high rating in all industries. These concerns do business on a strictly business basis. Their ideas and methods are modern and are sound financially. It is such enterprise as these that the boys and girls come out looking for lucrative employment as clerks, bookkeepers, stenographers, managers and the like. The pioneers who are still having the way for the black man should be the race's substantial encouragement. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, has sent broadcast the appeal to the public, controlling the amount of $250,000 from colored pieces of the country toward the $2,000,000 memorial fund in honor of Booker T. Washington, whom they propose to make a donation to the work at Tuskegee Institute—the deceased educator's greatest monument. The work have divided into groups, ranging from $1 to $1,000, and everybody should find a place in one of the groups. It will be just as acceptable as the donation of the millionaire, as it is the spirit that Mr. Scott has expressed sympathetically, every man or woman should forward his condition to the secretary at Tuskegee Institute, the receipt will be promptly acknowledged.

The Republican state convention for lieutenant-governor. Mr. Bush is a native son of Washinton and is a graduate of the county will take pleasure in urging for this important office because of his eminent qualifications. He is the president of the University in the class of '95 and taught T. school in Madison county. Although an active farmer, and a successful one in Howard township, he has been as active with business interests in Indianapolis. Mr. Bush is a Republican with democratic ancestors. He believes that the party will serve the people served through the policies of the Republican party. His foremost desire is for the success of that party in 1916 and for his own personal interests and ambitions. However, if the people of Indiana should name him as their candidate for lieutenant-governor they will have more to the spirit and activity of the campaign than he. He was the party candidate for congress last year, and his energy, vitality and enthusiasm will be the party into a good working organization. AEDOOL PETER H.

Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the day's occupations, That is known as the children's hour. Between winter days and summer time, When spring is coming into the fray, All things political are greatly accr- rated. This is known as the "Candidate Day." Villa will need all of his wits to keep out of the clutches of Carranza. It looks as if his days are numbered. The country is practically a unit on preparedness, some degree of preparedness. Some insist that we are in no danger of war, when if President Wilson had said the word we would have long since been in it with Mexico. That country is not so much to clean up; but suppose we had been in the midst of the Lusitania controversy in the meanwhile? Who knows what other complications would have set in? We are so contented in eating, drinking and joy riding in automobiles that we have no time for such "trifles." Know ye these lines or something similar; There was a sound of revelry by night and Belgium's gay capital was gathered then. Ed Sourbier, county treasurer, is making good as it concerns the colored people. At this time he has two colored persons in his office and of whom is Miss Daneva Donell. Miss Donell is favorably known as an efficient business woman, being familiar with office work and the typewriter. She is highly deserving the appointment from the viewpoint of ability and faithfulness. Harry Jackson, the other appointee, is also worthy and deserving. He is an exemplary young man and of good ability. We think Mr Sourbier has done exceedingly well and is entitled to consideration by our people. In fact he has always been a friend of the colored people, as much so as to the masses of the white people. Hence his popularity. The Filipinos are clamoring to be free of us, basing their hopes on the promises made and to our known disposition to see other countries as free and independent as ourselves. The legislature of the island has voted in favor of independence and congress is contemplating a bill having the same purpose in view. In fact we ought to be glad of the opportunity to get rid of that far away possession. In event of a war with an old-world power the Philippines would be swiped in a jiffy. No great real loss, to be sure, but the moral effect would be bad enough. George Washington must have had visions when he told us to stay at home. We've branched out a bit in accordance with the twentieth century feeling of aggression, but nevertheless it's extremely hazardous in trying to protect countries lying all around the globe. Our invincibility, such as it is, is due to our solidarity. We have no moral right to coerce a people that does not wish to come in. A true union is an organization of equally willing members. Bishop Alexander Walters has "broke" with President Wilson according to a communication seen elsewhere in this issue. A few persons tried to put a better construction on what was given out as the termination of the bishop's recent visit to the White House, going so far as to say that old rumor it had wrong, and that the President was going to do things properly by and bye. The bishop set all of this at rest in his open letter to Mr. Wilson. The churchman shows that he has been keenly disappointed, exhibiting a pronounced sense of humiliation in having to confess that nothing was doing in the way of big offices. The bishop shows bull dog courage in sticking to the "craft" in spite of the fact that he and his lowers were being persistently fought off. We do not believe the bishop's state of mind owing to his repeated throw down further than his letter indicates, but it appears to us that he is one of the most abused politicians conceivable. This from his eminence as a churchman and a leader of his race. He was lured on seemingly as by an ignis fatus until graceful retreat was impossible. The result is chagrinning surrender, asking quarter; receiving none. We say this in the spirit of friendliness, since the bishop is our friend, but the picture presents itself just the same. "The Birth of a Nation" pictures are being fought to the ropes in Ohio. The pictures have no good excuse for existing, but they are only seriously objectionable as they concern our race. They hold us up to ridicule, characterizing the past political activity of the race in the South. This, together with the effort for social equality phase and the attempt to rape, is what makes the production so objectionable to our people. That it is an unfair advantage of us is the most that can be said. We need the touch of sympathy and the mantle of charity, and not an exaggerated exposition of our relations and activities even if based on what is conceived to be facts. We feel to particularize concerning this exhibition, knowing what it means to be condemned wholesale. We plead for court and jury, yet many of us have mobbed this production without ever seeing it. We were alike guilty if not in so great a degree. We grew tired of shooting at an invisible enemy, so we waited until we had the opportunity to see it. We saw it and give, as so many have done, a mixed verdict. We can not see, what complaint white persons have to lodge against it unless out of sympathy for us, who do get some rough handling. And this is true simply because of social conditions and not because there was never a scintilla of evidence. Barring the Stoneman mistress incident we can not get away from the fact that the novel and playwright have simply enlarged on the vision of known incidents. We are sorry to note that the United Mine Workers in session in Indianapolis took such an avowed stand against former President Taft for the Supreme Court bench. Much attention was given to his past record as it concerns decisions which he rendered when he was judge, and what was called his natural attitude against the laboring man. We hold no brief for pushing Mr. Taft for the vacancy. As it concerns our race it might be said that he was indifferent when it came to a supreme test. He preferred allowing the trend of things do most at adjusting, thus avoiding racial conflict as much as possible. While this attitude lacked in partisanship it had the color of the expedient under existing circumstances. The impression gained was that he was trying to do the proper thing as the exigencies of the moment required. In short he did what he dared to do without crossing a too pronounced public sentiment. Through it all was an evidence of peculiar fairness, a sense of equity which was born of the hour. He is clearly of judicial temperament, and we do not like to think that the human inclinations with which he is charged would interfere with the court. Attitudes, we take it, deserved for him an honest, sincere man who will be less inclined to do his whole duty when the time comes. We can not see that capital and labor is at such variance that we must see to it that none but non-committed men are chosen for judges. The miners and the rest of us need men on the bench who determine cases by facts and evidence, feeling that at the worst the country will still survive. Mr. Taft is not willing to plunge the country into discord by injudicious opinions. THE MOB. The wholesale lynching in Georgia last week is not much evidence in earnest of a better year as it concerns that kind of business. In fact, it is a good brisk start towards a large enrollment for the present year. A sheriff was killed by a Colored man, according to the charge. The mob in its fury made a draget affair of it, scooping up five Negroes to make sure of its work. It is useless to talk about the quality of the guilt of the victims. The mob was not a court or jury, consequently it was no less murderous than the men they killed. The mob has been told this a thousand times, it has no more effect than water poured on a duck's back. This happening coming so shortly after the resolves of Georgia Colored men that the mob must go down is calamitous. Really, these men too rather an ad hoc action, it appears that they would fight the thing to the ropes. We do not believe in cowardly hearts, but in perilous times discontent is the better part of valor. Even Napoleon retreated and compromised when he found it necessary. A firm denunciation of the mob is always the expected and in such a way as to invite cooperation by those who are able to assist. Men or nations can not hoist themselves wholly out of ugly conditions by their own efforts. Free enlightened men hate to think of it in that light, yet it is true, and the sooner we gain the support of the dominating forces about us, the better it will be for us. News had already circulated that educational institutions of George would be active this year in trying to bring about better conditions. This publication made comment on the news, noting in the meanwhile the resolves of the colored men of Georgia. We would not like to say that the mob answered those resolves, but to all appearances it was that way. At any rate it is just as well that we contend for the law within the laws. Mob conditions are improving, and have been improving for years. The gentlemen ceases to think has had to do with this as our flagrant outbursts especially those that breathed vengeance in kind. We are nothing with the mob idea but think it best to fight it with the most appropriate weapons—fight it out along this line "if it takes all summer," to use the expression of General Grant. We must bear in mind that we have courage mostly to offer us, and that we have courage, including courage, and which, including the rest of it, puts us at a serious disadvantage. The courts are getting better in such matters, we think. Now and then the marauders are hunted down and given sufficient justice to cool their arder. If we can keep this up we need not be unusually disturbed by incidental outbreaks. As long as the situation is improving we see no reason to be unusual or disturbed. There were increase in lynchings year after year, we would be justified in talking big about taking the bull by the horns. We still hope, in spite of the big, ugly start, that the year will end with the Negroes on the proper side of the "ledger," that the educational influences promised will not abate and that our race men will hearken unto a very sensible old German proverb: "Make haste slowly." The mob as an engine of persecution for a particular is going. We can assist in the departure by the same methods that have been employed all along. THE TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE. The Montgomery, Alabama, Advertiser in discussing the Tuskegee annual conference held in that place last week said of Emmett J. Scott: And there was one who was in his accustomed place, but whose very presence suggested the absent one. In the past, to see Emmett J. Scott, in conference day, the secretary was always near his chief, eyes, ears and hands for him—ready to help him in any way; mind the secretary's own position. Emmett J. Scott, greatest and best-known executive secretary that the Negro has produced, was in the same place, cheerfully serving, helping, assisting him, and having paid him, thus far—no eologist will pay him in the future a higher compliment than he is paying himself by another "for the good of the cause"—the cause which "must not suffer loss." There were changes, marked changes but it could not have been otherwise. The greatest change of all lay in the growth of the teaching and training center, central figure of all former conferences, Dr. Washington, was absent for all time, and in his stead was an amalgamation of the teaching and training, faithful, loyal Warren Logan, gentle as a woman, true as steel, helping to break the bread of hope and encouragement of the students, among the fields, as the late leader had done, but in Warren Logan's own way. The usual program was carried out when rural betterment work was discussed and urged. Improved housing, improved farming and kindred economical topics were dwelt on by persons of authority. As a fitting close to the interesting meeting, Bishop Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion church read touching resolutions to the memory of the late lamented Dr. Washington, and which were as follows: Whereas, Dr. Booker T. Washington fell asleep for the last time on Novem- ber 14, and rests from toll with his God; and Following the usual custom, a number of students who had made most progress in the short course in Agriculture this year were going and the conference closed. BISHOP WALTERS PUTS PRESI DENT WILSON ON THE RACK White House. Washington, D.C. —In this onew letter I desire to thank you most heartily for audiences granted and favors given me since your election as President of the United States, and to the head of the departments for appointments and promotions made in their several bureaus. There is a sentiment abroad that it is not the policy of the government to confirm Negroes to prominent offices. In the light of the following letter and the nomination of Mr. Patterson, Judge Terrell, and State Court, I confirm that Your Excellency shares in this sentiment. "S W. State St., Trenton, N. J. October 16, 1912. My Dear Bishop Walters: I am so fortunate to those who know me, but, to those who do not know me perhaps it is not necessary for me to assure my colored people that we see justice done in every matter, and not mere grudging justice, but justice execu- tive and fair feeling. Every guarantee of our law, every principle of our constitution, commands this, and our sympathies should also make it easy. The United States have made extraordinary progres- t toward self-support and usefulness, and ought to be encouraged in the work of justice upon them is of long standing, and I want to assure them through you that should become President, the United States have made upon me absolute fair dealing and for every by which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race in the United States and Sincerely Yours, "Cordially and Sincerely Yours, "WOODROW WILSON." Certainly the hostile Negro sentiment of some who occupy high places in the Democratic party cannot be considered expressly wrong. If democracy means anything at all it must mean the sharing in the Government of every honest, in- Surely this is eminently true at a time when every man of every race in the country needs to serve the colors in case of a crisis, and is needed to insure "preparedness" near to me that it should be the aim of the National Government to inspire and intensify the warmest patriotism the law and goal of all citizens. To be officially informed that Negroes cannot be confirmed in big Federal positions, such as they have held in the past, is to know how worthy, is to say the least, discouraging. We have waited long and patiently to know what our pollsters are saying, to be in all parts of this country. In certain parts of the Southland a property we met that, but, to no avail. Then the educational test was required and when our illiteracy was decreased 70 percent we met that, but, to no avail. The educational test was required and when our illiteracy was decreased 70 percent we met that, but, to no avail. The educational qualification we were bidden to stand and wait a little longer, instead of being encouraged to register and be in many places where we presented ourselves to rollment we were ruthlessly turned down. It is well to understand that Negroes are not supported by the Negro vote in the North, East, and West while it denies the ballot to the members of our race in the South. For a national party to take the vote is unfair, unreasonable and untenable. Owing to the character of the opposition in certain quarters to a Negro being appointed Recorder of Deeds, it has been a test case and we are not Nashville Boosters to Urge Favorite Son Progressive Organization of Colored Merch ants will Boost Ex- Register J.

"Honor to whom honor is due," is an old adage which holds good even in the most honest men believe. No honest man wants anything but that which rightfully belongs to him, and no honest man wants it. Reference is hereby made to an article written in the Freeman January 22, 1916, in which he wrote that the Pythians was the only Sir Knight in Brunswick who is worth a continental, and was solely responsible for entertaining the council of the knight, simply realizing that the article one would get the idea that the Pythians of Brunswick were an undeserving and disheartening set, who are ignorant and shiftless. It is not fair to the loyal and self-sacred any one to attempt to rob those as much deserving as he of their just deserts, and ascribe all honors to himself. He who would wear spurs must WIN them. "Whenever and wherever anything is done to the good man, Brunswick has a number of loyal Knights who will go their length in an effort to make it a success, and no not stand back and wait This was the home of Col. C. A. Shaw, deceased, who was a Past Grand Chancellor and a former order knew and loved. He was one of the most influential of the order in the history of the University Lecturer, Sir C. A. Clarke, who has filled this position for nine years, with credit to himself and honor to the order. Sir Knight Wm. Williams, who was until recently a leutenant in the University College, has served as rank of Major, and given a place on the Brig. General's staff. Brother Williams is an old armour bearer in the confidence of the Pythians of the state. During the visit of Grand Chancellor Alexander, who was on the 14th inst., they were cared for by Mrs. B. F.

Peggie Burnett read her lines with much emotion. Genevieve Stearns, as the mother, was quite pathetic. She also doubled to cow girl. Bob Biddley was very good as a con girl and she can surely scream. Frank DeLyons, as sheirf, pulled some good lines. The part just suited Frank. Mary Bowman, as Lawyer Jones, did all a lawyer could do and he read his lines with much ability. Lyons Daniels, as deputy sheriff, proved quite a villain and the audience surely liked it. Edward Lankford, as Frank James, is surely some outlaw and he handles people well, as he does Buddle Autumn, as Jessie James, was there with the outlaw slang. Lew Kinner and Nuggle Johnson opened the olo, and believe me, they were a scream. Nuggle is surely a funniest man, and he was fine, and his clothes are above the average.

LOUIS THEATRICAL NOTES. Smith-Bright Players Find Popular Vein of Race Pride in Presenting Play "For My People"—Big Crowds Praise Show. (By Herbert I. "Meadows.") One of the most successful production of far as the Negro is concerned, was given by the Smith-Bright Players at the Booker Washburn Theater of January 17. The play, "For My People," has its as theme race pride. It is an interesting comedy-drama, it is a drama that runs daily in the progress of the Negro race, when Negroes will patronize Negroes in business; Negroes will be running the stage for Negroes daily in maintaining profitably places of amusement of their own. The purpose of the play is to promote business enterprise and promote Negroes through the stage and drama what should be done also by the Negro in the pulp, press and platform. The production is in a newspaper office. As stated, the production is timely, it is an interest-taking patronage and an inspiration to leaders and laymen in the strife toward race advancement and preservation. It is a patronage and an inspiration well as a moral benefit to any theater. The Smith-Bright Players are presenting a thrilling wild west drama of the Widow's Ranch, week of Jan. 24. The complete change of character work to the principals shows their willingness to show drama and shows that theatergoers are tired of the time-worn song and dance routines and shows that theatergoers are demanding a higher plane in colored vaudville, and the performer will soon get down and move to the playability and merit or will have to step aside. It will be a "survival of the fittest." It will be Charles A. H. Hunter, who in former years was Colin Coates, but who later has been compelled to summer theater in St. Louis, is in the Bright-Simcast this week. Hunter Joe Bright, Speedy Smithville De Gaston, Raymond Brown, Theresa Burroughs-Brooks, Florence Sewell and Joe Bright, the senior members of the company, Miss Maybelle Brown is sick in Cincinnati.

Davis greeted me as a recruit pitcher and then announced he was going to take a position. "Get out there in the box," he commanded, "and pitch some up for batting practice. I till take a look at them first myself, so begin on me. You have a tough nature, very nervous and threateningly toward the plate. I cut loose with a fast one, which got past you up high on it. Now let's see what else you've got." I offered him the old "roundhouse" on which I had been getting by in the minors. He was the place where the center fielders' head would have been in a regular game after a long sprint to try to catch the ball. "This no good up here in this company," he remarked, "Can that one." I realized its value was not very great when they could hit it like that. "What we call a curve up here is a ball continued. Don't use that 'roundhouse.' They can time it and murder it." I believed him "What else you got?" he asked. "I a sort of freak ball I never use in a game," he replied, overlowing with ambition. "Well, let's see it," he suggested. "I density of gall then, and pitched it to him. I bit missed the ball by a foot or so." "I that's that one?" he asked. I had been fortunate enough to break it over the plate. "That's one I picked up, but never used in a game," I replied. "Can you control it?" he inquired. "Not very well." Davis missed another one which I was lucky enough to bend over the pass. "That's a good one. That's all right," he declared enthusiastically. "It's a slow incurve to a right-handed batter—a change of pace with a curve ball, a ball that is too low." So the fadeaway was born at morning practice at the Polo grounds, George Davis, the old shortstop, named it. "I'm not going to pitch you much this season," Davis told me after that first practice, "and I want you to work hard in the fadeaway, you can control it, you will stand them all on their heads." I don't believe any one ever worked hard in the fadeaway. It was work, too, for it was all done rehearsing, the hardest kind of labor. I spent hours at mornings, and I worked the fadeaway, break over the plate, and control it. Our curve is any good that you can't break over the plate, for then all a batter has to do is hit the ball, you haven't control as he quickly will is to "take them." Of course, you can cross a man once in a while by making him hit the plate, but it won't do for a steady diet. I finally got the fadeaway down pretty good and used it in games. As nearly as I can explain it, this is the set. The outcurve is thrown by letting the ball slip off the end of the thumb with a grip. The ball is then thrown to bend away from a right-handed batter when it is being pitched by a right-hander. The palm of the hand is held toward the ball and the ball is let go. This is a natural motion. By turning my hand over so the palm is toward the ground, I can let the ball slide into an unnatured position, and the snap makes the curve so difficult to acquire and control. The wrist must be snapped to get results. This snap of the wrist makes the curve so difficult to acquire and control. The wrist must be snapped away from the body. The ball goes spinning slowly and then drops to "dead," and then drops and curves in. Christy Matthewson. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT.
