Our fellow-townmen, white and colored, gave proof of their genuine devotion, and we were particularly true of the caper who took space with us, thus assuring their earnestness, because men are not given to paying for and praising a thing that they do not like. Mr. H. L. Sanders, the well-known merchant and manufacturer, said that he was glad to have been in the number, and he congratulate you, he said; "you are ahead of the times." This is but one of the many expressions, all of which bore similar earmarks of earnest, honest expressions. The verbs from these expressions, like the country-keeper with the insistence of his community—expressed freely, generously and in an unusual strain. The following are a few of them: THE EEST OF THE YEAR. Christmas Number was the best of the year. M.-W. Milkerson, Ala. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EFFORT OF NEGRO JOURNALISM. We think the Christmas Number of The Freeman was the most successful effort of Negro journalism in showing the wonderful progress along varied lines of activity by members of the race. If our people would only show their appreciation for such efforts by rallying to and supporting the publica- tion among us among the Negroes would soon take on more healthy growth—Henry A. Boyd, Assistant Secretary, National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn. PROUD TO KNOW THAT THE RACE HAS SUCH INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. I received the Exposition Number of your paper, and must say that it makes me feel proud to know that there is contained in the race such intelligent men and women as described in your paper. A.

Abbott, Jacksonville, Fl. A MASTERPIECE IN THE ESSENTIALS OF THE TYPICAL ART. Your special Christmas Issue referring to "Fifty Years of Freedom" was greatly appreciated and a masterpiece in the essentials of typical art, showing your rare courage and fine sense of the fitness of things. May the company be grateful, bright, spicy Frey Continued success.—Charles P. Wilson, Jefferson City, Mo. A STRIKING ILLUSTRATION OF THE STRIDE MADE BY THE RACE IN FIFTY YEARS. If not too late I beg to congratulate you on the fullness and completeness of the Anniversary Number of The Freeman. It was a striking illustration of the stride made by the race in fifty years—Madame E. Azalia Hackley, Chicago, Ill. THE EXPOSITION ISSUE VALUABLE AND INTERESTING. Your recent issue of the Exposition Edition is interesting and valuable from every point of view and I transmit to you et al. my hearty congratulations. The Freeman and "Sunshine" are inseparable friends, and our literary stories will be incomplete without the "newsy" presence of The Freeman. Sailors wishes for a most happy and prosperous New Year.—Joseph Tappan Phillips, Nashville, Tenn. VERY EXCELLENT EXPOSITION NUMBER.

The Freeman is doing most commendable in still more expressive expositions than we have appreciated the very liberal and whole-hearted support which you always have given us. We wish for you always the success and support which your efforts deserve—Emmett J. Scott, Secretary. A CREDITABLE NUMBER The Freeman of Indianapolis, Ind., published a creditable Christmas num ber, entitled "Exposition Edition"—The City Times, Galveston, Texas. A GEM OF PROSPERITY. The Exposition Number was a gem of prosperity.—Col. J. G. Griffin Dallas, Texas. THE BIGGEST THING DONE FOR SOME TIME.

The Exposition Number of The Freeman, published at Indianapolis, is the biggest thing done in Negro journalism for some time. The illustrations and the stories of the Negro journalists who have accomplished and achievements of the National Negro Press Association is one of the most helpful and inspiring of the great list of contributions. The Negro journalists who have accomplished and achievements accomplished by the association since it was last organized. Every Negro editor should be identified with the Press Association. These workers in journalism are doing the most substantial, constructive work that is being done in Negro journalism, they need the co-operation and support of all the people...Los Angeles Post.

Douglas, the great orator; Lincoln, the librator, and Washington, the leader, are all dead, but the great progress along all lines for the past fifty years. This Exposition Number was a credit to The Freeman as well as to the general race. There is quite a good work for the race—The Schlitter, Emilis, Texas. A GREAT JOURNALISTIC ACHIEVEMENT.

The Indianapolis Freeman, as usual, takes great pride in writing up the most exciting stories, takes the most exciting race, and the Christmas issue of The Freeman spared no pain in giving credit to the Mosaic Templars. Hon. J. E. Bush, and the success of his life's work in putting together the most exciting stories, the most exciting race, and the most exciting publishers and editor of The Freeman know personally about the work of Mr. Bush, his uniting efforts to eclipse all fraternal orders have not been met.

According to Prof. Kelly Miller, 334 Washingtonians are enrolled at Howard University, or about one-third the total enrollment of students. Some come from the East half from the Southern states, and the remainder come from other sections of the country and from the islands of the sea. Negro's national university" has given its students the title as "advance agents of civilization," according to the same authority. Howard Park, the park of municipal land, the Treedman's Hospital near Howard University, has the need of beautification. The Howard Park Citizens' Association has been working earnestly on the matter for years, and the park is an interdependent of the playground section of the tract, has made some substantial improvements, but a general system of development should be adopted. The park should be made into one of the most attractive breathing spots in the city. Mr. John C. Dancy, secretary of the Church Extension Board of the A. M. Church, and Mr. John C. Dancy, by the Bishop's Council, which met a few days ago at Montgomery, Ala., to act as financial secretary of the conference, and to confirm confidentiality in the May, to succeed Rev. J. S. Jackson, suspended for alleged irregularities in his accounts. It is said that Mr. Dancy will be in charge of his work before the Louisville conference as a candidate for the regular election as financial secretary. Prof. Kelly Miller has been delivering a series of excellent speeches and presentations to his Washington. They have added materially to his already enviable reputation as a broad visioned thinker and Miller is on record as being opposed to the "hyphenated American," and is also on record as being opposed to the term "Afro-American." Plain, unvarnished, unhyphenated "American" is good enough for him, and sufficient incentive to serve all ordinary purposes. Mrs. A. Yerby, wife of Prof. W. J. Yerby, United States Consul to Sierra Leone, West Africa, is in the city, the coast of Mr. J. Macias, of Elite Cottage, near Howard University, Mrs. Yerby is a brilliant and beautiful woman, and is accomplished in literature and the languages. She will remain here for several weeks, and is expecting to be joined by her husband shortly, who is coming home on a visit to the State Department. Mrs. Yerby has addressed a number of well-pleased audiences since her advent here. The Board of Education has appealed from the decision of Justice Gould, who in the District Court, held that Rule 9.12 wield automatically dismissal for male teachers upon marriage, was unconstitutional, unreasonable and void. The case now goes to the District Court of Appeals. The argument of Justice Gould is regarded as so sound and the citation of "errors" by the board to be so trivial, that an affirmation of Justice Gould's opinion is expected by the board to give the subject unbiased thought. The ruling is that a woman is entitled to follow living as a teacher, though she marries, as long as she do so, and that the board should not give the right to retain a competent teacher after marriage, if such retention is deemed best for the schools. The Freeman in Memphis, Tenn., at the Globe Stand News, 330 Beale Ave. M. B. JAMES E. WATSON Republican Candidate For United States Senator JAMES E. WATSON Republican candidate For United States Senator WILL ASK FOR NOMINATION FOR LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR. Mr. Edgar D. Bush will ask for the Republican nomination for lieutenant- governor next year. While many throughout the district had hoped that he would again lead the fight as the congressional nominee, he has deter- mined to forgive that and respond the earnest solicitation of friends throughout the state to go before the Republican state convention for lie- uttenant governor. Mr. Bush is a native son of Wash- ington county whom the Republicans of this county urge and measure urging for this important office because of his eminent qualifications. He graduated from Indiana University in the class of '95 and taught EDGAR D. BUSH school in Madison county. Although an active farmer, and a successful one in Howard township, he has been associated with business interests in Indianapolis. Mr. Bush is a Republican with democratic ancestors. He believes that the people of his own town served through the policies of the Republican party. His foremost desire is for the success of that party in 1916, even 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 to revitalize the party into a good working organization. T. CLAIRDON Veedersburg, Fountain Co., Ind.

President Wilson is busy showing ‘his constituents a deep front. ‘The country is not Jew or Gentile; so all right Mr. Brandeis if you are the proper brand—you'll do, even if a lit- tle off color as it concerns precedent. ‘The Freeman appreciated the invita- tion to attend the dedication exercises of the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion of Cincinnati, Ninth Street Branch Building, Continuous program trom January 1st to February 6th. Among those appearing on program: Dr. Jesse B. Moreland, Rabbi Louis Grossman, Charles A. Cottrell, Henry Allen Boyd, Dr. George C. Hail, of Chicago, and Dr. W. T. Nelson. Sand bag heroism during these flood- ing days reads like the story of the break in the Holland dyke of years ‘ago. It was a little child; it was nearly dead when found holding back the sea with its little hand, It may have been merely poetry, but it was not beyond the pale of reason. We have seen tho replicas in the last few days when a few sand bags well plncod “Igughed at disaster.” It look ds it the floods, like the poor, are ever to be ‘with us, so it 1s up to the community to go into the dyke building in a good way. “An ounce of prevention is bet- ter than a pound of cure.” The death of Rev. Dr. Theobald ‘Smythe, of the A. M. B. church, Janu- ary 25, in the elty of Chicago, was one of the regrettable occurrences of last week. He was well known in In- dianapolis, having been pastor of Beth- el church for three years previous to his appointment in Chicago. During his pastorate here he became known for his fine ministerial qualities. Dr. ‘Smythe was what we sometimes call a foreigner, having been born in Jamat- ea, West Indies, He brought with him sterling qualities, which proved help- ful in his career as a man and preach- er. Like so many of the islanders he was for the freedom of the individual regardless of race. He was pro- nounced in his views and had the ability to back them up. He was of splendid presence and personality, a combination which at once served no- tice as to the manner of man he was. Dr, Smythe was what might be called an easily able man, Madame C. J. Walker is really pre- paring to leave Indianapolis, her pres: ent home and where she has resided for the past ten years. The announce- ment a few weeks ago that she was going was disturbing to her many friends and acquaintances, Some were not willing to believe that she would go, that she would be persuaded not to go. Persuasion was tried, but so far the madame has been firm. We are among those who hoped she would change her mind, But she has large interests elsewhere, in New York city, her future home; so the plea for her to stay has been unavailing. And as she is packing and shipping her household goods Indianapolis may as well be Prepared to say good-by to this real “lady bountiful” of her race. She will be missed—her many charitable deeds and Kindnesses—her kindly speech and manners. New York will be rich- er by her presence; not merely as it concerns her wealth, but her queenly personality, and which is none the less than personages of the best birth as it fs sometimes put. Indianapolis is rightly jealous of New York as it con- corns her future whereabouts. ‘The thirty-sixth anniversary of the marriage of Bishop and Mrs. Joseph Simeon Filpper, D. D., LL.

Washing- ton been born a white Englishman he could not have escaped peerage or some other high honor that England showers on those that render great service to the realm. This is true ac- cording to the system of reward, What the News had to say of him as an Englishman applies also. to other first class countries. Had he been a churchman, showing the same Initia- tive and activity he would have read- ily, reached the highest positions with- in the gift of those organizations. This being true, the Negroes will do the proper thing in conceding every bit of his worth and do the things suggested to perpetuate his memory. Tuskegee is his best memorial; its name is bis spiritual monument. When we see that it endures, yea, that it flourisheth, we have done the better part in keeping green his memory. Of the proposed $2,000,000 endowment fund the race is expected to raise $260,000. Every one can contribute and thus share in per- petuating at once his institution and memory. Emmett J. Scott has made an earnest appeal to the various or- ganizations, asking that they respond to the call of the $250,000, the fund which, in the raising, will be under his supervision. ‘The assurance is given that the re- mainder of the proposed $2,000,000 will be raised by white friends of the institution. Agents nor solicitors will be appointed to gather in the money. ‘The appeal says: “In order that machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a mini- mum, it has been decided by the trus- tees of the institute that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed, and that all funds collected be sent directly to, and acknowledged from Tuskegee institute. Checks may be drawn to the order of Warren Logan, Treasurer Tuskegee Institute, Ala- bama, or Emmett J. Scott. “It shall be our purpose to send to all of the subscribers to this fund who give five ($5.00) dollars, or more, a certificate to be framed, showing Dr. Washington’s picture, a picture of the home in which he was born, and a plc- ture of the Tompkins Memorial Hall, the largest buildings on the Institute mounds.” LOUIS D. BRANDEIS. ‘The news of the appointment of Louis D. Brandeis for the supreme court bench by President Wilson was received with more or less surprise throughout the country, ‘The surprise was mostly due to the fact that Mr. Brandeis had not been suggested for the place. Many publications, how- ever, were surprised that Mr. Wilson had made such a radical departure, choosing a man who was not noted for the previously conceived notions as to the requirements in such cases. Mr. Brandeis benefits in that he is generously concededthe ability to cope with the quality of questions that come before the judges of our last court. And should he fail in the appointment he has the pleasure of seeing himself gloriously reviewed by. the best author- ities of his country. Few men only have ever been paid such tributes of respect as it concerns ability, integrity and probity of character. ‘That he has not judicial temperament is the most that is said of him; it is all that is said that in any way jeopardizes his chances for being an associate justice of our supreme court, a leading tri- bunal of the world, and to which any man might aspire without doing him- self an injustice, Mr. Brandeis has been attorney for large interests, for small interests, for big people and for little people. He prided himself on being the attorney for the people, this, when his income was sufficient to place him in the class of aristocrats, forgetting the rungs on which he climbed to fame. ‘This ten- dency to stand for the poor, the labor- Ing classes, give color to the charge that he is more socialist than anything else, and therefore a dangerous indi- vidual in that he makes for a princl- pal which is not prudent to encourage. Some see in him the forerunner of a useful and much needed class of men whose vigorou® intellects and inclina- tions are with the great common stock, and on whom stability of gov- ernment and civilization depend as. much as on the moneyed interests. Our race, we think, need not be alarmed, if Mr. Brandeis is true to his advertised convictions, in the event he is confirmed in the appointment, He. is known for his love of freedom and Uberty, so much so that he has been called an agitator. Our choice for the supreme bench, however, was not for that quality of man, regardless of his great ability. We are no different to the general country when we also in- sist that we were amazed owing to the President's choice, not for fear of harm, but because our ideal was shat- tered. The President is a great phy- chologist and, perhaps, he has found the greatest’ sum of efficiency in his choice, ‘The President, however, is not infallible; he is simply human. But the best Is hoped because in fact this nation by right is neither Jew or Gen- tile—Americans every son of us. AS a race we can ill afford to fight Mr. Brandeis because he is a Jew. We know too well what would have been much of the comment had the appoint- ment been. a Negro. Unthinkable would have been the awful summary. So we should be quite willing to give into the wisdom of the executive who was chosen to be such because of peculiar fltnéss, Hs discernment may be rarer, his vision clearer, especially after his years of official life. “THE BIRTH OF A NATION.” The famous or infamous picture play, “The Birth of a Nation,” is still the subject of considerable debate when appearing in communities where Negroes are numerous. In San Fran- cisco the production was tabooed by the Joint action of Negroes and the G. A. R, a very mean combination to go against to say the least. We can readily see why the Negroes cynose the pictures, but st is not so, clear what the veterans think they seo in them, Last week they. were put down in Kansas, because, according to the opinion, they had it appear that the South was Tight and the North was wrong. In California the objection from the white man’s viewpoint was not clearly defined; it, so far “as. under- stood. was because the Northern sol- diers got the worst of it. So it seems THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. that the localities that object are at odds as to the reasons of thelr oppost- Won, The Negroes find one rreneral fault, and which summed wp, is an ex- aggerated exposition of thelr past actl- ities. | So far, we find vory fow Negroes that are willing to go down in black and white with expressions of what 1s seen in the pictures. Rey. Dr. L. M. Hazood, of the M. E. church, formerly of this city, Indianapotis, is one of the Negroes who has “consented” to dis- iiss them in terms not. too Impas- Honate, For all that he ls no more In favor of them than the rest of us. The ‘ght of them compels admiration for thiem in part, leaving one in doubt a8 to the intent of them, good or evil. In | the language of Shakespeare, some do como in auch questionabie shape that they do not willingly classify elther ag “alra from heaven or blasts from hell.” Dr. Hagood strongly opposes the vic fous Negro seenes, giving Ils version of them a8 {t occurs to him, Ho admits that the presentation is great as. a whole, overstriding everytiing else of the Kind asa glant ovorstrides plgmy, surpassing everything else at: Tempted by way of picture play, make Ing.

We saw ‘no partiality: shown for North or South further than that ev. denced by the facts of the war, and possibly tinged by. individual preter- ence and. inclination owing to the Nesro question. If that is admitted it was no more than warranted by race Drejudice, and which ts not going to be subjugated by violence or herole means. As we view it the Union sol ers had the best of it; the ending of the war being true to history; the South was crushed and broken.

Some of these, we dare say, were no more than political adventurers who had nothing in mind more than the proba- ‘ble benefits owing to the prostrate sec- ton. Others were there to lead the Negro into the light, to direct him rightly in his new paths. None of this: whether of good or bad inten- tions, however, were acceptable to the South, and in the revolution that came in due time the Negroes got the worst of it. The pictures show this. Rev. Hagood has this to say of the Stoneman incident: It Is as evident as anything can be that. the ‘main feature of this play is to humullate the northern white ‘man and hedge up the pathway of the aspiring black man!

It is appalling to us because new to us in fact. Our novelists who do European situations are none the less industrious in regal- ing the oceident on these “delectable” points. ‘That she was a mulatto and not white, while meant to belittle the Northern ‘regime who would. recon- struct, is really helpful in that it gives an importance to the race, unenyiable in the incident, but big in the signifi cance—giving’a historical novel treat- ment that does not oftett come to our people.

The scene jars on tho nerves of those who know who Charles Sumner was, be- cause we know of no stich thing as mistresses at our “Courts,” and be- cause of the woman's unlovely disposi- tion. But these aro matters that rest with the novelist and playwright. And the test from thelr viewpoint is the success of the whole. ‘There is no par- ticular reason for a race quarrel owing to the scene. “FROM THE TRENCHES TO THE SENATORSHIP.” The candidacy of Harry S.

Baxter and La Cona, a silent comedian of droll actresses, were dugged in courtship and oddities, and the "Juvenile Frolics" was a school farce, which made merry. The Smart team was one week.

When Dave Marion's big musical extinction came to the city and opened at a burlesque show down town, came flying through South Street that Bert Grant is in town, the only man to clean up with a big white behind him.

Gaither is home and a visitor, a husband was much annoyed by seeing the announcement and she may have to return to Cincinnati before she is ready. How is here to work? Gaither got out when I called to pay respects to Mrs. Gaither. I took Frank P. George and G. Y. Fulitson, our Japanese friend, along as my guests. Mrs. George, along with me, must return to selection for us. Mr. George, who is always enthusiastic when art is presented, exclaimed, "I must return to George." Then Mr. George went out heedlessly and gave the report to a local paper. Mrs. Gaither was satisfied over the report. I underestimated George called to apologize.

There's no Saint Peter up on high, Beyond the clouds, above the sky, Where Christians go and angels fly, And saints immortal never die. Those who burlesque Saint Peter's gate, Had best repent before too late; For hours fly and sinners skate, To where thin ice has doomed their fate. To enter where the gate's star, The soul flies or passenger car; The soul flies like a shooting star, To where the happy, angels are.

Well, so long, Dad! with tear-dimmed eyes. We will your hands across your breast. 'Tis hard to break the loving ties. But oh! we we know you've longed for rest. For many long and weary years You blazed the pioneer trail. 'Knew not With heart and soul that knew not fear. Courageous strength that could not fail. The trials, the sorrows, that infest.

Words are scarcely adequate for me to express my deepest thanks to the kindness of good wholesome advice, sane praise and encouragement and has greatly inspired me in my life's work. Included was a dandy poem by the book which I firmly submit by the approval of the Freemaker readers. THE MAN WHO'S UP. One can not hold his brother down In the low ditch of life. Without remaining there with him In ignorance and strife. The burden then, which would drag The man whose deeds are good. Is raised and he will surely climb Who lifts the brotherhood. The man who's up with his strong Should each upon the ground. And raise to heights where all are free The man who's farthest down. The man who's down is filled with hope. He climbs both day and night. And so the man who's up he shouts— Help me, I need the light!" -Jasper Tappan Phillips, M. D., Nashville, Tennessee. The doctor deplores the fact that, generally speaking, the men of the theatrical profession have to do or take the time to develop the aesthetic side of their lives. He was generous enough to typify me as an exception. Knowing the profession as I do and the many brilliant men the profession includes, I feel that I would be the most manly litigator. I I allowed the doctor to preserve the illusion that I was an exceptional type. NEWS OF THE PLAYERS John H. Mason will be with J. C. Miles' band this season.

His demonstration only bears out what the general public everywhere is saying about the Billy King Players. The longer they stay, the bet, it is the best box office card in the deck.

But moving pictures are eagerly devoured by the HarperCollins agency, critically those bordering on the highly melodramatic, prove to be those most demanding of the genre, too, its use of advertising and preagency is taking a second place for Billie Reeves, whose work is founded upon a broader sense of humor. Bronx-based Billie with all of his faults, still finds a place in all of the hearts of the colored man. Speaking of moving pictures we would like to request two things of our own: a house.

DREW EQUALS WORLD'S RECORD. In Wonderful Burst of Speed Great Colored Runner Equals World's Record of 7 1-5 Seconds in 70-Yard Dash Big Crowd Applauds Victorious Colored Boy. Before one of the largest gatherings that ever packed the spacious Madison Community Garden, the great work of the University, California, and holder of the world's record for the 100-yard dash, equaled the world's record for the 70-yard dash come the day before and ever toled the mark in this country when he was timed in 7 1-5. The great burst of speed and reversed the opinion of every athletic expert in the world. He has proved conclusively that he was entirely out of form when he " pulled up" some comeback in the 70, but what he is being hailed as the world's greatest runner at the 70 and 100. He has skied every athlete and writer on the dailies will send forth the prediction that the remarkable colored lad will even go himself one better by clipping 1-5 second turns in the 70, but what he rest on the new laurels added to his already long string of victories ever shows he attracted the attention of the athlete. I have never entertained any doubts about Drew's winning at the Milrose Academy last week for a time of his arrival here up to a few minutes before he started, we have made it a point to thank him after time he assured me that he was in the best condition possible, and his reason for coming here was because he felt confident of winning.
