BOOKER TWASHINGTON The Master Knife of A CHILD'S SLAVERY Memorial Edition Review of Books and Recent Periodicals By Wm. M. Lewis This column has been kept rather spasmatically and because of which we are now due those concerned. We know something to the class of individuals, among them, heart, in the early times of our race literature, to maintain the struggle of the class with the thoughtful consideration. Every book or periodical is written without prejudice to our race literature, and is thoughtful consideration. It is needless to speak about why this is true, sufficient to say that the signs of the day to a decided change for the better, increasing the question of church. The output of the book is hardly be unless there are increasing signs of acceptability. We may rest assured that the business is up to the race as to future of its literature. "Rachal Episcopacy—Reasons," by R. L. Lees is most interesting publication and especially as it concerns the members of the Methodist Episcopal church. It deals with the question of Negro relations in that connection, which, as most persons know is one where there is a fellowship in a way of white and dianapolis schools. clinging its quality spects.

B. Borton was chosen for Africa, and which selection was in keeping with the known men of the movement that church as far as it went, made bibons on American soil seems to be the desideratum in view of the non-fraternal phase of the organiza- tion. In recent years Mr. Lee shows in his historical Statement, that the policy of the church is defended, changing very materially from the practically unanimous views or convictions of 1872, the general church service叫"The rapid progress of our brethren of color in all that elevates mankind is most commendable, and we great promise before them. Your committee would further report that, in their judgment, there is nothing in our church to election to the episcopacy, the true course being for us to only select such a person to endow, culture, qualified fitness and acceptability, best position to fill the office. In our position we conference in part: "That such election more than any other fact would establish beyond all gainsaying the relation of our church to the work of the church, that it would give them a bishop who would mingle with them without embarrassment to the work of our church, that resolution was adopted to the effect that "race, nationality, color or province" must not to any other elective office be filled by the General Conference." "Oceyon on Title of Record" is one of the recent publications coming to the literary department of the Freeman. Mr. Oceyon, a graduate of seven years of arduous labor by the author, a white man. He has gathered from vicious criminals and also contractuals during them to their essence, making it not alone valuable to lawyers, which is not alone valuable to lawyers and students, but to men of affairs. When Blackstone wrote his well commentated book, he was not written for lawyers or students especially, but for gentlemen, meaning those of land for them, that it was necessary for them to know which confronted themselves so frequently in administering their own The intent of this volume is best served by the authors. The purpose of this book is to present in a condensed form the origin, history, and construction of the American and English recording and registry laws, and record total and index thereof. The distinction between them when, how, and when the instruments conveying real or permanent knowledge are acknowledged, proved, witnessed, recorded, filed, or title registered, the number of witnesses required; with reference to the recording office or register. Also, the recording office, witnesses, words and phrases are admissible to explain the meaning of the statutes and laws. In short the volume contains a clear outline of the law of registry and record of written instruments concerning real estate therein, and of record title as well as the law of assignment, canon law, certain kind of written instruments; but a burnt, lost, destroyed, or parity destroyed, written instruments, recorded with the title of the property. The foregoing speaks the value of the publication, and to all persons who are interested in the transfer of real personal property.

The title is Highway by Wm. H. Shackleford, volume Khaville News edition.

It has including its quality of work in all respects. Its publication is excellently sponsored. Its executive council is made up of the following well-known individuals: George C.

Brawley; Fisk University, Walter Dyson, Howard University; Robert E. Park, the University; Kelly Miller, Howard University. The recent numbers of "The Southern Workman," have been in keeping with those of the past years, and which have shown an evenness of excellence. In the last year, one appeared one of the best of the many articles on Dr. Booker T. Washington in newspapers in print up until this time. This is W. W. Williams, formerly a principal in the Indianapolis schools. He is a Harvard graduate, now engaged in educational work, and is held agent for the Jeanes and Sister Funds and for Hampton Institute. Speaking of Dr. Washington Mr. Williams said in one paragraph: "American Civilization and the Negro," a splendid volume of 422 pages of large, well-illustrated articles to do with the Negro as indicated by the title. In fact it is so comprehensive that justice cannot be done it in the absence of it. Dr. Roman, A. M. M. D., LLD, has labored faithfully and long in order to give the Negro a chance to deal with American civilization and the Negro. In fact it once suggests its scope and I can only suggest that the volume be read. In brief, the author begins with the physical foundation of man dealing with his body and mind, which he is supported by the great scientists of this and other ages. The Negro racial volos gradually, being treated with the skill, patience and change of treatment that the good physician exhibits him. He concludes with a bit of optimistic miscellany, the crown for the crux of his work. The author has had varied experience in his professorships, evidences of which we see ramifying his public societies of political and sociological research. He is associated with the Mercy Medical College, Philadelphia, publisher. "The Brown Book" for February is brimming full of interesting information about the Baker T. Washington and Interesting pictures are seen, those of the board of trustees of Tuskegee being among them. Washington is seen in various striking poses addressing audiences. He is also seen horseback. Most of his pictures are taken to say that none seen of him before are more picturesque or interesting. The birdseye view of Tuskegee as built by older cities of Europe, which have become celebrated for their architectural beauty, larger halls and other buildings are set forth strikingly, which, together with other incidents of the Tuskegee, make up in all presents a panorama of response approached those ofugs of response. Then, too, there are those touching funeral scenes which by way of tributes of response approached those ofugs of response. The number is of great value as a souvenir in the memory of Dr. Washington, and the National Negro Magazine Co. at Nashville, Tenn. The New Era" is a brand new proposal. The publication in its first number is promising, having the appearance of a magazine from the title page to the last "The New Era" comes from Boston, and this means something. People in Boston have the reputation of doing intellectually. The prospect says: "The management of the company that they have the particular fortune to have Miss P.E. Hopkins, of Boston, Mass., as editor of the 'New Era Magazine.' Miss Hopkins certainly needs an introduction, and while already placed her in the forefront as one of our leading authors and editor series, 'Contending Forces,' Hagard, Hopkins, and many others, have been read and re-read by thousands in all parts of the country. Among the subjects treated in the first number are "Rudell Phillips," "Abraham Lincoln," "Musical Appreciation," "Topsy Templeton," and "Topsy Templeton," by Pauline E. Hopkins: "A Drink from the Cup," "Fifty Years of Freedom," "Men of Vision," "With our Composers, the Valsa War," and "Rick-Fuller: Reminiscences of Early Days." "Around the World of Color." The publication is classy, showing up well as well as in its intellectual output. Among its contributors are Charles Alexander, of Los Angeles, Cal.; E. T. Torris-Gordon, and Mrs. G. Turtle褂. "The A. M. E. Zion Quarterly Review" is as usual filled with good, well-structured articles, known for its miscellaneous articles, and which are of an informing nature. Among the notable papers are: Eudora W. H. Anderson, Amherst College, Hon. Gilbert T. Shrimp, Judge Municipal Court, Winston-Salem, N. C. University, Theology and Study," by Miss Ames Williams, Wilmorfield University; "The Influence of Christianity on Civilization," Rev. Lomax-Mannon College, "The Crisis" for February, is unique in its pictorial display. It is well filled with images dealing with current affairs as the title. It maintains its high qualities. "The Teacher" and the rest of the book are sued monthly by the National Baptist Pub Board, Nashville, Tenn., are the high water mark of efficiency, and as a fine food for the Bible student what-ever his intellectual status. "The Nelson" filled with meaty substances move or less of a theological nature. The articles display scholarship and careful thought. The book is finished of the Educated Man."

All matter should bo addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2SS0, ee SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1916, Joseph H. Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass, was recently a visitor in this city. Mr. Douglass {s one of the leading violinists of the race. During his stay here be made a complimen- tory appearance at Simpson chapel, M. B. church, where he delighted the audience with his wonderful playing. Politics is politics, thats all there’s to it, Political parties in America or elsewhere can not exist without or- ganization—without machinery. In the senatorial mix-up the Republicans should seize the opportunity to take care of both Mr. New and Mr, Watson if possible. Any attempt to side track ‘Mr. Watson, in event other prospects before him ‘than disturbing Mr. New are presented, will, we think, not be considered a friendly act. In fact it will tend toward defeat at the polls. A meeting called by Dr. 8, A. Fur- niss was held at the Y. M. C. A. last Friday afternoon. ‘This was in accord with the expressed wishes of Emmett J. Scott that steps be taken in this city in the Interest of the $250,000 fund, the raising of which he 1s’ su- pervising. Owing to the lateness of the week it is impossible to give par- ticulars of the meeting. The sentl- ment, however, is to help sustain Mr, Scott in his great and laudable effort. Carranza is a stickler for dignity, and one would guess that he is about right, To see your territory invaded by an outsider, not to speak of an enemy, for any purpose, or for what- ‘ever cause, is not pleasant to think about, President Wilson put himself in Carranza’s position, the result be- ing that the Mexican government will ‘have practically the same privileges ‘as our own government. ‘The outcome, so far, is agreeable onough, and it bids fair to wind up with Villa in the tolls where he so rightfully belongs. ‘The Jim Crow street car measure in. tended for Baltimore has been defeat- ed in the legislature of Maryland. One of our race publications had this by way of comment: “The legislators, both Republicans and Democrats, who aided in killing the mischievous meas- ure in its inciplency, deserve thanks of all the good thinking people, with- out regard to race or color in the city of Baltimore.” Doubtless the colored people should be thankful for their sal- vation, but if the Democrats and Re- publicans were for them who could have been against them? “A strange world mi masters.” FIRES A BROADSIDE. ‘The Indianapolis Star, in a recent editorial, commenting on the success of Alvah J. Rucker for the nomination of prosecuting attorney at the primary election last week, said: “The result 1s, of course, ominous in many ways. His vote was largely recruited from among the colored people, whom he has seduously cult!- vated with his promrises of social ‘equality and his bare faced advice to them to resist the police. The sinis- ter possibilities of this sort of thing need not be exploited, They are too “apparent.” ‘The Star was warm in the support of Mr. Rucker, hence the tears. It is very had loser, at least in this in- stance, so bad that it is willing to misrepresent thoroughly the _situa- tion. It imposed on Mr. Rucker when it sald that he talked social equality to the colored voters as the price of their support. It imposed on him when it said that he advised them to resist the police, It imposed on the colored voters when it intimated that they voted for him because social ‘equality was promised them. It im- poses on the colored citizens when ft infers that there is a disposition among them to resist the police. Both Mr. Rucker and the colored people stand notably for law and order. Mr. Rucker did not talk social equal- ity to the colored voters, and had he done s0 it would have been resented as a cheap attempt to hoodwink them. ‘The Star knows the deep significance of such a charge, and we take the Uberty to say that it is set forth to destroy Mr, Rucker at the coming election, If Mr, Rucker goes down we, the colored people, do not wish it to be charged to such an account. Abso- lutely, there are no expressions being made along that line, nor do we be- lieve any such thought is being enter- tained by the colored people. The Star knows how to be danger- ous all right, something for which it has no patent. Other disappointed publications and individuals could do ‘equally as well at the business if they cared to be dangerous. Owing to our under dog situation as citizens, we need the support and sympathy’ that the under dog generally gets. The Star can not afford to give it because unduly interested in the fight, We are surprised and ashamed that such publication can be successfully ac cused of being called small and malig nant regardless of the large patron- age it enjoys among the colored peo sie “JIM CROWISM.” Baltimore has escaped the “Jim Crow” street car business, while Louisville, Ky., is menaced by the evil; and if the Knight's bill which recent- ly passed the Kentucky senate be ‘comes @ law that community will have been struck two staggering blows ‘within a comparatively short while. Segregation stands regardless of the vigorous efforts to dislodge it. It perhaps does not mean a serious ‘in- convenience if any at all. The point is that an element of discrimination is introduced into public laws; a thing of principal is the contention. Tt is needless to say that the col ored citizens are shocked by this new blow, and which comes after so many years of equality of rights on the Street cars. Our country is in no con: ition to invent new causes for race friction, And if war did not rage around us jt would be Just as unwise and un safe to strike at the manhood of a peo ple who are struggling upwards. The laws are known; the spirit of the laws are known, The views of just men are known concerning the opera tion of, customs and the laws. This all being true, it 1s remarkably short sighted in legislators to make laws ot to establish customs, which, when, in thelr operations, curtail the privileges of a given péople. This is especially true in cases of this kind, in cities like Louisville and Baltimore where the Negroes are progressive in all ways, and where they have enjoyed the privileges of common carriers and streets for residence without restric: tions. They are opposed to the back ward move and especially the artifi cial ones that are instigated by others than themselves. Louisville must bestir itself if it would shake off its octopus and other communities like wise if they would escape its merci- leas clutch, OUR ISLAND POSSESSIONS. Our race papers are having very much to say since the republic of Haiti “has passed under the American yoke,” as one of them long since had it, ‘This particular publication took what we hold to be the correct view, ‘when it said, speaking of the Haitians: “They have lost their independence thetr self-government, by the corrup tion, viclousness and brutal violence of their own leaders. ‘This is the sim- ple truth. ‘The treaty ratified by both countries {s drastic enough to keep any Haitian hot headed in his. place by foree of American soldiers and ma- rines.” ‘The publication rather overshoots the mark when it says “they have lost their independence.” In a sense this is true, but to be temporarily re- lieved of a thing does not mean an absolute loss, So the Haitians have thelr independence in store for them; @ greater and grander independence being possible through the kindly offices of this country. Of course it is readily seen why the Interference in Haiti is opposed by many of our race. It’s the same old thing—the race question. Some take the radical anti-Negro white man’s view of the Negro as the nation’s view, consequently they see no good resulting to the race from any trans- ‘action where the two people are con: cerned. To put it exactly right, they do not expect a square deal, a square civil deal where the two’ races are concerned. The thing has been learned from the daily lessons and from whose influence none escape But what we endure, while resisted must be set down fo the credit of the ‘age in which we live. This inno sense relieves individuals or peoples of thefr duty to the human kind, nos calls for a deminishment of vigilance fon the part of those who are contest ants of candidates for the utmost of the various freedoms. Tt does mean that we are to see and know the philosophy of the strug gle, viewing it as a sort of endowment whose premises were when men first began to exalt the ego at the expense of the altruism., ‘The individual prof. erence became a national preference, $0 we have the legacy of the years bequeathed us and from which no people are exempt. The struggle of the lower man down has ever been, and ours is in a most exaggerated way, since we have more terms in our race “offensiveness” to be dealt with —this is, at least, some of the phi- losophy of the race struggle. We are inclined to see this country, the United States of America, the col ‘ored people's worst enemy, when we have no reason to think that under similar elroumstances our situation would be better elsewhere. This Is not a plea for unprotested abuse but a plea for a true estimate of our re- lationship. We have the history of all the races as it concerns their co- Jonial possession, none of which is fairer than that of our country. Fair England has nothing on us; tt has its African problem, where the natives are scarcely more than things. Barring the Hawailan annexation, whatever has been done by the way of ‘aeauiring possessions or governing ‘them, can be readily approved by the consciences of right thinking individu- als. We halt at the manner of ac- ‘quiring Hawali, merely because of the poor disposal of its queen. If the Ibuman race ‘could get away from the postulate that a people prefers their own in poverty, rather than be an appendage of grandeur, then Hawaii is a most blessed isle, for it seems to be an object of special care. ‘The islanders have but little reason to complain, if any at all, owing to the administration of their affairs. A regiment of Negro soldiers is stationed there, and from all accounts they are faring finely. Far sighted statesmen, we take it, saw the necessity of the island, its value as a halfway place for ships making their way to and fro on the Pacific, hence it has to be appropriated and much in the sense of possessions coming by way of the law of eminent domain, the difference being that it was not’ ours to take. The island incident - is closed and best for all concerned. It is expected that there will ever be discussionsine ident to any public transaction of .momenty e specially when the liberty of a people is in volved. Haiti is the subject, and be- cause its liberty is involved we are inclined to indict the thing that holds it in “durance vile.” All of us know why Haiti is in fs present plight, and knowing it is infinitely un fair to the administration, which is noted for its quality of mercy in such matters to have it appear that the island is to be “gobbled up” just as soon as it gets “good and juley,” as it has been inferred. ‘The Demo crats, particularly, are opposed to tak. ing on new possessions, especially “niggers” as it was said of the Philip pines. Nor is that the Ione sentimen' that sways them. They are for the principles of Thomas Jefferson even if Inte in the application as it con. cerns colored people. With all _ of this in view and the fair administra tion of Philippine affairs, and the dis position to let the islands go as agreed in the festanine. checid warrant the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ‘The Republicans, as a whole, we think, are scarcely less inclined as it concerns the promises of independ- ence when promised, and as for the government of colored people its repu- tation has long since been established. We have gotten into the habit of viewing everything with alarm that touches colored peoples ,and, of course there is a reason, But it is based on a great big general law, a higher law, and ancient, and of which we spoke in the beginning—the “I am” of indi. viduals and peoples as against the alter. We can not refer to it on every occasion unless we mean to obstruct our own progress. We suffer most perhaps because in our relation. ship we have the worst example. It is unfortunate, but not particularly malicious beeatise of the unusual terms of the racfal proposition. ‘The Haitians were in a deplorable muck and manifestly represented such a repulsive political aspect that we should feel ashamed to say one word in its defense. Had this state of affairs been merely incidental, hap. pening now and then, and at’ long Intervals, we could well afford to com- plain that our country had gone into the land grabbing business. Under the circumstances such a charge would be most unpatrictic not to speak of the probable colossal untruth. ‘To get nearer the subject, Haiti in its chronic disorder was’. making perilous the Negroes civil existence in America through its utter disregard of government and the shameful ex- cessive ambition of its leading men. It became a comedy of a government and yet tragic in the issuance, re- ducing high pretensions to jokes which struck at the Negro’s political efficiency wherever he was. It was making for a distinct political and s0- cfological classification of the races based on the seeming indifference to republican tenets or non-suceptibility of the same. What Haitian Negroes would do we are held a sort of reflex, answering that awful accusation of Prof. Jordan of the Leland University that wherever an individual is found ho will have with him traits that were his when at home; awful if in the demonstration these traite prove op- posed to the progress of civilization— standing for barbarism. And if these damaging evidences ‘were not sufficient Haiti threatened the quietude of the western hemis- phere by its riotous conduct, com- elling an intervention—plain, ‘palpa- ble, and for the good of that country without question, and for the Negroes ‘of this country without question.

Chester Cunningham and wife have returned from a trip in the west, which was taken for the benefit of his wife's health, with ankle reward. Anna Singleton, of Knoxville, Tenn., has been in the west since 1975. Braun came here visit Chicago, which has been highly enjoyable and pleasing to her friends from her home town. The rumor that Philip Austin, the original Buster of Buster & Bailey, was receiving flowers from his wife, Hannah seems to be generally garded as a fact although I have not seen the parties to interview them. Ethel Hammons, sister of Chas. H. Young and Isaac Young, a visitor in the city last week, the guest of Madge Gans on Calumet avenue. She has left for her home in St. Louis, Mo, much pleased with visit. To be a public writer, especially to be well known as one of truth and experience, is an unthankful job. I will write about the difficult sulky and heathen class of individuals at some other time. But to the nice, thoughtless class, who want their let-downs and stamps, You are one of many and you are not very many in the upper story. Hiram Sorrell, the ventriloquist, is now with J. C. O'Brien's Minstrels, in J. C. O'Brien's variety novelty of dummies in his act in the oilo in the interlocutor in the first part. Mr. Sorrell is a good talker, mechanical and character actor and he can be a useful acquisition to the company. Fred Grant Gilmore, of Rochester, N. Y., has just printed a new book called "The Problem," in direct answer to "The Birth of the Nation." Mr. Gilmore writes poems, and he is soon to take the same with his new publication. His home is 223 Spring Street, in a city where he lives and where his statue greets you at the depot. It is unbecoming for an author-poetical exchange with other serries. But just to satisfy the public, I will answer back to a big local newspaper. Here is the story of a man who don't take time to change my linens, that is my collar, but I have plenty of money to pay for my laundry. I often send him, but never touch candy, thank you.

The body was shipped to his brother in Philadelphia. The Siege of Columbus and the eagle falling from the White House does not mean the end of the country. I look upon the Mexican situation as a grave sign which points to an ultimate intrigue of international espionage. The curse of any nation. Its proportions is far greater unchecked than any stage of immorality or drink yet there is no need to even the Christian churches no longer speak out for justice to a blighted race of now mixed colored people who can contend with the sleep or traveling courtesy as strangers traveling in a strange homeland. We are not wise and may seap the reward of their own prejudice, greed and folly. THE FALLEN EAGLE. America's Rebuke. The eagle from the White House fell, With destiny, a nation's woe; He saw a white American's hell, At Columbus in New Mexico. The eagle could not scream and tell Like southerners did, since slavery That torture for black men worked well. 'Till now—the parting of the ways. The eagle fell one thousand feet. And each foot numbers, one black Who'll cross the line, and thence to meet, The tragedy of war—the grave. The eagle doomed by color caste. The eagle that blew for slavery's "chile." Knew well that lynching could not last. That white men were wrong all the while. The eagle will be all rebuilt. "Preparedness" will thrive, at east, And if our blood must all be spilt, The black men then will fight like beast. And when the eagle takes his stand, Why "Ebo" he must rise again; They call this free America-land, And that's what gives us all a pain. The eagle had been growing faint, He thought of, well, "The Golden Hair." That stolen gold and color taint, Is kindled fire of coke and fuel. An elaborate banquet was held at Crowe's Hall Feb. 22, under the auspices.

The famous Whitman Sisters, with their company of ten, are playing their language in a succession of succession. The company is not a stock concern, but is billed as a vaudeville aggregation. The piece being present is *Glory* (Gloomy), and the comediennes is easily the best ever at this house. Indeed, comediennes who work blackface are so few that the comediennes is a distinct novelty, and one who works blackface stuff without stopping to the coarseness so frequently used under the same conditions. The cost is so bad that he is said of the fairest cast. Unfriendly dialogue and actions distinctly stand out, and the costing is great, a revelation to the laxity and carelessness of dressing frequently displayed by the comediennes.

With the reopening of the Lafayette, the owners of the theatre have evidenced a choice by of business sagacity in the selection of managers. He has also the position of manager. Mr. Elmore, though of the opposite race, is probably one of the best known figures either in New York City or in New York City. He has had years of experience with both the colored theatre-goer and the colored performer, and he has received the greatest of satisfaction. One of the most notable changes that has taken place since Mr. Elmore's reign has been the really thorough reconfiguration of the Lafayette has been subjected to.

Special to The Freeman: March 11, 1916, the concert given by Shane and Wilson was a great success. They had a two-nights' play; the house concert left saying that it was the grandest and best they had ever heard. Old Wilson, better known as "Round Head," showed himself to the best advantage of the band, pany with him, they cut up bad those two nights. Miss Mattle Webb sang songs that you ever heard. J. B. Melville the whole thing when he was on the stage, but don't ask what Walter Melville stage three times each night. Old Modley had the blues that night and he just had to sing them out, and when sung they it stirs up the whole stage. Old Modley had the blues stage three times on that Wilson says look out R. J. Simons, he's coming. he says he is going to put on another show. He says he is going to when he is going to travel some then. The services conducted by Rev. C. Townsend Sunday was a great success. The members came up and threw their 250 down on the table like it was a dream for the State League Convention which will be held at his church in April. Well, well, Humboldt has launched her new editor and Dewy W. Rogans, manager. Look out for Humboldt, she is coming. Miss Nannie Simons, Miss Myrtle Simons, made a flying trip to Trenton Monday.

EBaitor the Freeman: Dear Sir—Referring to your data in the colored Freeman. in regards to the Watts-Hannibal fight at. West Baden Springs, Tin behalf of Jack Watts, who is without a doubt a gentleman and the best colored middleweight In_ the ring ‘today, can safely. say Watts K. O.ed Hannibal falr and square, and when one says Watts ducked, he’ lies, Aske Hannibal” or “Mithurn ‘Turner or numerous others who Watts has defeat= ed and they will tell of his wicked, Slever right cross." Furthermore, if Hannibal is dissatisfied, nothing would suit Watts better than a return en- agement any time or place. Really the promoters say. Watts crabs thelr shows (belng square) by knocking his opponents out too auici. Now for full details of the Watts- Hannibal Ment at West Baden Springs 1, Art MeCormick, was present as Watts Second that might. Watts played with Hannibal until the K.‘0., which was TIE cross. Referee ‘counted two, And. told. Watts to step back. or he would disqualify him. ‘Then occurred an Intermission of ten seconds followed by continuing to count eight; then some one else counted ten more and Watts Was told to enter his dressing room. This statement can be verified by spec: fators at the ring side. ‘Again Tsay if Hannibal ts dissatis- fied any time or place will suit Watts, who has been derlounced In the colored Freeman. One thing is sure, If they or any club wishes Watts’ services they miust-pay real money, which he de- serves. He will not Aght for coffee and doughnuts. “I consider Watts one of the greatest boxers ever produced. SPORT NEWS FROM LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.

March 13—"Phil Waters, the well-known and highly successful political leader, platform orator and all-around athlete, has been named the sixth consecutive term, as staff correspondent of the Sporting News, published at St. Louis, Mo., and acknowledged as the foremost authority of the country. The appointment is exceedingly popular in this city, where Mr. Waters is a sports reporter. He is the state on news of interest to devotees of the track, field, field, diamond, rod, gun and other diversions of an athletic or sporting trend. He is being warmly congratulated for his work. He has proved a verdict that no better selection could have been made. The Charleston Gazette says "Phil Waters has long borne in the public eye the human compulsion of sporting events," and generously voices the opinion that he will continue to be a tower of strength in the sport. He is the rare compliment of printing his budget of information just as he writes it in the newspaper. "He can put out, be national, local or an editorial comment," "Phil Waters' contributions not only appear in the sporting News, but are also in the newspaper and sporting columns of the metropolitan newspapers all over the land. He has a natural "nose for news," and a knack for fashion." CHEYENNE, WYO Master Jack Leonard is a little patient at home, suffering with a cold. GULFPORT, MISS., NEWS.
