Your correspondent was among the first to call to congratulate the bishop to extend to him the best wishes of the Negro press throughout the country. Your correspondent, who has known him well, has traveled with him on many of his important trips, pressed the prelate for a statement to the race, and to ardent admirers throughout the world would be glad to get a message from him on the occasion of reaching this milestone. When your correspondent called the great churchman, looking every inch the great leader that he is, was in a state of great relief, and told the writer to say to the race that he was grateful to the Almighty God for sparing him to reach this milestone, and able to contribute some service to his race. The bishop said that it is always a source of great comfort to be spent in noble service to one's fellowmen, and that his message to the young men is to prepare for leadership and to live lives of usefulness and worth. The career of Bishop Walters has been one of the most picturesque of all the past 150 years. He has been full of high and distinguished service to his race and nation. Up until his death in 1945, he has made a name and career that will live long after the great leader has passed to the great beyond. As a pastor, he has been a foremost man in that honored profession. The Zion church, of which he is the pastor, has shown upon him the highest honors that could come from that body; and in the great religious bodies of the church, he has given instances denouncing lynchings and the unjust discrimination to which the Negro suffers in this country, his bishop on behalf of the race, asking for them an equal share in the national great movements he has headed having for their aim the absolute rights of the Negro, are incidents in the caption of the book. All students of race affairs. The bishop is perhaps the greatest reformer of his age, and it was his strong influence brought to the Negro political emancipation when he showed the race the party, right or wrong, and to break away from foolish tradition. The action of the Republican party in the sight of his step in this direction of his step in this direction has been closely associated with the church, his race, and the true motives that have guided and prompted the bishop in his man moves that he has made their belief. The bishop is a man of a great soul and of a high character. Despite the public life of the nation, he still remains true to his fellowmen. When occasion arises he is as strong as a stake; when occasion arises he is as gentle as a stake; and yet as gentle as the most delicate and refined woman. His family life is pure and happy. Nothing happiness than to be home with his family at his New York residence. If your correspondent is to judge by the past, the bishop has just reached that point in his career where he is willing to do even higher service for the race. The rise of the bishop furnishes a sample of the race, and holds out a striking example of what it is possible to achieve in life. The rise is prominently mentioned in "Who's Who in the Colored Race." Bishop Walters was born in Bardstown, Ky., August 1, 1858, and is in hardship. He educated in the public schools of his native city, and studied theology under private tutors. In 1891 Livingston College conferred the degree of D.D. In 1877 he was授牌 to preach in the A. M. E. Zion church, and he has passages in the book *Success in success in California, Tennessee and New York*. In 1882 he was elected one of the bishops of the Zion body, being at the time the man to receive this honor. Prior to his elevation to the bishopric he received many honors from the church and he was a member of the conference of his church since 1884. He is one of the trustees of the N.Y.C. Zion Church and for seven terms was elected president of the Afro-American Council. The bishop resides at 208 West One Avenue and for seven terms was elected president of the Afro-American Council. The race throughout the nation will be glad to know that on his fifty-eighth birthday the great Zion leader of optimism and hope for the Negro. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson Answers "The Birth of a Nation." Your correspondent is in receipt of a letter from Bishop Johnson, president of the New England Baptist Convention, and one of the most noted clergymen of the country, the famous film, "The Birth of a Nation," based upon that libelous book, "The Birth of a Nation," which he well written and contains eight pages, is one of the most convincing replies to the libel that has been written, and is a manly and straightforward defense of the race. Johnson reviews the Birth of a Nation, which is technically critically, and takes up the salient points in the play and shows the hypocrisy of the clergymen's desire to libel the Negro, he defeats his own end and places himself before the greatest prevaricator of modern times. Dr. Johnson points out that the fifm was written primarily to accomplish the task of black men and white men; and, secondly, the removal of colored people from the United States. He writes that the utter folly of such a propaganda on the part of The Clansman writer, and shows how the clansman wrote, and shows how passion guided by satanic wisdom. The little pamphlet opens in the following manner: "In The Birth of a Nation" Thomas Dixon of the teacher of the gospel of peace and universal love between man and man, no matter of what race or nation, has given us a hope of the unreconstructed Southern man, and bristling with sectional hatred, which forever ranks him as the most monumental master of prevarication and historic juggery since the days of phara, or Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned. How a man could hope to delude with historic fallacies, overstated the truth, with much error from beginning to end of his deformed creation, must be beyond the most intelligen Continuing. Dr. Johnson writes: "The title 'The Birth of a Nation' is a title that has been used in the civil war, nor in the disgraceful and blooddurcelling days of the rebellion. It is also the character of the actors exhibited in 'The Birth of a Nation' Dr. Johnson shows that the three types of Negroes present the lowest strata of society, of Lydia Brown, who is shown in the film as 'Austin Stoneman's mother' of the 'Lydia Brown represents a class of women among Negroes that men like Mr. Dixxet set brought to make one of the assets of slavery, and 95 per cent of them have the best blood of any race. Dr. Johnson points out here in cases where the race were prevented from intermingling with the blacks and now over the black 50 per cent. As to Silas Lynch, the mutatto lieutenant-governor, Dr. Johnson draws this picture that one hesitates to believe that any such character with his predisposition for intermarriage had any existence." Regarding Gus, the renegade who is seen in the film the little pamphlet says: "Gus, the renegade, is after all, a poor, weak, ignorant Negro, who is not shown to be a slave. How little Flora has been unwanty worked up to a pitch of fear by the Camerons, a splendid Southern family of the Negroes, who shows the folly of Dixlorifying the Ku Klux band, a group of South, who sought to terrify the Negroes by their midnight rides. In closing the pamphlet, Dr. Johnson places the Negro has made for himself in this country and says: 'The Negro is a slave. He is industrious and temperate. Out of his meager savings he provides for his family, educates his children, and opens a bank The reply to this infamous film by Dr. Johnson is one of the strongest of the tch race. The pamphlet should be in the hands of every man and woman in the younger generation, who need to know the strength and power of the race. The Work of Phaon Martin as a Musician. Your correspondent has called attention from time to time to his chosen place of their profession. A number of young men of the race have been invited and have done most to show the high and esthetic development of the Negro. A young musician has a high place in his profession.

People have come from far and near to this hospital to get the fine treatment and accommodation so seldom found among in this country. Dr. C. C. Barnett, a graduate of the Huntington Medical Association, C, practiced medicine in the city of Huntington, W. Va., for several years, and while making his daily visits to the hospital, he met that they could get in a hospital and his wife, with the idea that patients could not possibly receive the necessary attention to their care, he instructed them an enormity. Realizing that the patients had his direct supervision, he founded the Barnett Hospital, and employed trained nurses to stay right there and administer the care to patients promptly the minute, thus, alding the possible recovery of patients.

All sections of the South the United States employment service is securing colored men for railroad work and other labor in the North. These colored men are being secured by the immigrant labor from Europe.

The colored laborer now has the chance, will he measure up to it. What is wrong with our city? We have a number of organizations but they don't seem to make good citizens of our people.

Entered at the postoffice at Indianapolis, as second class matter. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER All matter should be addressed to J. Frank Hanly's speech was a gem Our young folks must learn not to use the race too strenuous for private ends. It is all right to have amusements in connection with emancipation celebrations, but they should not be the whole show. Those outlookers on the coast of Maine evidently saw something: it was either outside or inside of their heads. They are sure that they saw a submarine or so, not further than five miles distance. Wonder what's their favorite brand. Senator Benjamin Tillman has at last concluded that slavery was not a good thing to continue for his own section. But he old fellow, long since we have discovered that he was not nearly as harmful as he thought he was. The care bestowed on the aged Negro servitors of his household spoke louder than words. Hurrah for Tillman! Is that treason? Then make the most of it, in the language of Sainted Patrick Henry. And the Georgia House passed a compulsory education bill providing at least four months' school attendance yearly for all children of between the ages of eight and fourteen, who have not a four years' common school education. Did you get that "all"? In view of the great number of Negroes in Georgia this is quite parental. The state when educating is bestowing its best gift on its citizens. Had we lived in certain ages of the world, or in certain localities we would understand this better. The colored people of this city are assured protection in the city parks. However, at this time there is but little of which to complain. The colored have been enjoying the parks as the white people. That they do not go in large numbers is the best under the circumstances. What we wish is our right of enjoyment rather than to be in the park, than if we were in need of overdoing the matter, together with the assistance of Mayor Bell and other mayors who will follow him, the right to go where we wish will not be opposed. The Negroes of Oklahoma are rejoicing because at the recent election a big majority vote was polled against a literary test for the suffrage which would have been disastrous to their political hopes. The struggle has been fierce and long in that state. The Negroes assaulted the strong works of the opposition at every opportunity. Here is an excellent example of taking what belongs to you. The Negro voters with right on their side continued to rally until they took what belonged to them. The ballot box is the best arbiter in republics. Defeat comes at times, but hope is at large in the world, and never more to be battened down by wrong. The National Negro Business League at Kansas City, Mo., next week. Let the good work go on. It is good simply because Mr. Washington thought it to be so. He thought as other men, agreed with other men, and things that agree with the same thing agree with one another. Every movement having in mind the general good, where the least friction results should go on forever. The league kept clear of politics although it were a real congress of Negroes if one should so choose to call The very emsemblage of good, successful, important personages is a good in itself. The outflow of their deliberations will be as seed sown in good ground. Long live the National Negro Business League! Carraliz, what a happy sounding name to draw to for poesy! Nothing in a name? Perhaps not. However, there is something in sound. Carraliz is not only musical, it could have found place in the most ancient and severe classics without doing it violence. Troy does not sound any more inspiring than Carraliz; nor does Athens or Macedonia or Babylon. And yet Carraliz for all we know is no more than a shadow as it concerns a city of proportions and worth. It's name is musical, and at the sound, fancy gets busy at unfortunate that the writing of that battle means the writing of meagre. Men died as others have died in battle, but these were huddled as sheep or ambuscaded as the Indians were wont to do, being shot down without the glory of individual, opportunity that comes so often to men in battle. J. Frank Hanly refuses to swallow the initiative, referendum and recall nostrum that is a part of the Prohibition platform. He says that they have done more harm than good. He says that they are revolutionary, and this is the greater fact. They are provisos to theories of government and which government is weighted down in operation when such barnacles attach. A representative government means that, the representatives becoming trustees of government are going to act—just as a client empowers his attorney to act. He does not think of repudiation by recall, nor does he submit anything for outside consideration, nor does he, the client, take the initiative instituting measure himself, thus destroying the attorney's usefulness. Mr. Hanly's splendid address of acceptance is greatly enhanced by the expound of his doctrine concerning those political exotics. Mr. Hanly has the gift of speech. His expositions are beautifully set forward, occupying that interesting halfway ground between the scholar and the well seasoned statesman. Divide the sum of Wilson and Burke by two and the result is Hanly. THE DEUTSCHLAND EXISTS. The good ship Deutschland has "shot the gulf," making good hard from these shores. Its coming was full of peril, but it was worth the while. The great heart of America, friend or foe to the cause of Germany pulsed in accord, yea, was thrilled because of the daring of men who seemed to covet destruction in order to register right—in the interest of the sovereignty of the nation. It came from the great write and its causes. Herolism is none the less whether of the enemy's or of our own ranks. The dread empire the world astounds, As strangers from far-off Mars were sent unamused, they fled their charges bounda Non-schoolboys who on holiday bem Were curious about their Charon's curious freight Although twice entombed; the hulk the sea. Their dauntliness courage transfixed fate and wrote their names in eternity BISHOP OF LIBERIA DEAD. The death of Bishop S. D. Ferguson, referred to as the Bishop of Liberia, died in that country a few days ago. The exact date of his death was not given, but judging by the date of the information, it occurred about August 1. He was born in Charleston, S. C., in 1841, a graduate of six years, with his family to Liberia, Africa, where he was educated in the mission schools. In 1868 he was or deained a priest in the Episcopal Church, becoming a bishop in 1884. For many years he was high in the affairs of the republic, and was often consulted as an authority by America and England. A great and useful man has fallen, one which that country could ill afford to spare. His life was a demonstration of the possibility of the little country, since he practically knew no other. He reached eminence as a churchman and a statesman in all that the terms imply. A few such characters in all of the various affairs of Liberia and it would take the place we of this side feels that it should take vieing with the small, but populous and energetic states of ancient history. Liberia is the hope of the race as an exponent of Negroes and Negro government at their best. Flesh of our flesh, the nation's ward, guarded and tended as the shepherd the faltering lamb, it indeed has the ground work of a great country. Despite what is said of the climate, Liberia is dressed in all ways. Liberia could stand a shipload of fresh, vigorous blood from the United States, a thing it needs, perhaps, more than anything else. CHARLES E. HUGHES. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate for the presidency, is leaving nothing undone to prove the great trust imposed in him when he was so stoutly demanded by the Republicans at Chicago. His speech of acceptance at New York last week was prepared and delivered with the utmost care, and as it should have been when he has such an opponent as Woodrow Wilson. Regardless of the issues, President Wilson is one of the keenest witted men of his times. He finds it necessary to unload at that people of ordinary standing may be able to accompany him. Mr. Hughes, as it is evident, has a mind no less searching and penetrating, if he has not Mr. Wilson's ability of expression. He is more ponderous, having the Daniel Webster punch—a rhetorical heavy weight. Mr. Hughes gives not much evidence of what he would do if he were in President Wilson's place. He has the advantage of the President because it is evident that his administration as it touched on foreign affairs, has been one of hesitation. And, perhaps, this was for the best. Mr. Wilson was without guide or compass in the matters he had to deal with; He had to feel his way along. It was fortunate for him since men do not greatly admire what appears to be vacillating governments. Mr. Hughes has entered a brilliant campaign of demolition, striking with sledge hammer blows at Mr. Wilson's hesitating policies—a campaign of negation, and which is strong and convincing because of the apparent hesitancy. Beyond the questions arising from Mr. Wilson's foreign policy arr, Hughes is not very different in his views. He is for preparedness, and not rank militarism. He is for an army in fair keeping with the importance of the country. He is for the spirit of armament that is yet in the world. He is for Woman's Suffrage, due to her new situation, and which have been permitted by the men. He is for all Americanism—America first and last, insisting that all identity otherwise should be absorbed—should be lost to the one great end—a great and united country—one people and one flag. RILEY TO DUNBAR. Our own singer Paul Lawrence Dunbar was helped greatly by the encouraging words of James Whitcomb Riley. In speaking of one of Dunbar's earlier efforts, "Drowsy Day", the Indiana poet said among other things: "Certainly your gifts as evidenced by the 'Drowsy Day' poem alone is a superior one and therefore its fortunate possessor should bear it with a becoming sense of gratitude and meekness, always feeling that for any resultant good, God is the glory, the singer is his very humble instrument. Already you have many friends and can have thousands more by being simply modest, unaffected and to yourself and the high sense of your endowment." Much was not said through all the offerings of praise to the Hoover poet as it concerned his religious views. Even the beautiful funeral sermon which was a poem itself breathed mostly of the humanities, and in which the Riley nature was so steeped. There has been almost a painful absence of his notion of the Creator. The feeling seems to be that such a character was well nigh a religion, well-nigh Christianity as it is best understood, consequently he is now in the realm of the blessed. If the testimony as to his views as coming from men has not been strong we have a blessed assurance in his letter to Dunbar, where he appears in Dunbar was knighted in a manner when Riley spoke. He arose, we would think, a new creature under the double ordainment, that of the poet and the greater thing that created him. And endowed as he was it is no wonder that he could go forth and do the poets mission—sing high, sing low, ministering to all—the physician of broken spirits. We lost our Dunbar when in the early ways of life—a comparative young man. But he was another Mozart; the things that he did live, Riley was spared to a riper age as if the need of his were pressing. It is pleasing to know that he was of the order of men of which the world loves best to know. He forsook none of the things which make for the common man "even as you and I". We mean that his theory of poet and man is not beyond attaining. Be grateful, be meek, God is to glorify by whatever gifts, and we are his humble instruments. THE PARKS ARE FOR ALL. Mayor Bell wishes it understood that he has not the right or the disposition to set aside Brookside park or any other park for the colored people. He has no such purpose in view nor has he at anytime had such a purpose in view according to what he says. He is in for the citizens enjoying the parks regardless of color or race. The mayor found it necessary to express himself clearly and forcibly because white persons residing near Brookside had heard that he meant to turn over the park wholly to the colored people. This news met with poor reception by those people as well as by the colored people, who will not stand for segregation in concerns and institutions which are maintained by all of the citizens. Owing to more or less unpleasantness arising from time to time at the parks the colored people have not patronized them very freely. But they go, and so it should be. It is, perhaps, best that they do not crowd those places, knowing what is possible to happen at any time. However, the right to visit them should ever be kept in mind. There are some lesser rights that they need not insist on and they will fare just as well if not better. The larger privileges are always to be insisted on, for when we have discrimination in such places and by the city, everything less than these larger privileges are lost forever. Under the circumstances the colored people should feel very thankful for the stand taken by Mayor Bell. It may be set down as a political move. But it matters not, just so we get proper consideration. Rights of individual are conserved through politics as the rule. The woman's suffrage movement hopes to succeed through politics. We are not away that the stand on the path of the mirror is not honored proclaimed. We take it out of a deep conviction of right in those things of greater moment for the general citizenship. The mayor knows and we also know that there is much race prejudice; not always evident, but existing just the same. All have found it necessary to compromise with it—to compound with those who bring it about. In doing so, perhaps, we are doing the best, at least, for the present. But to give up the freedom to travel the streets or the parkways is too much. The mayor and other thoughtful persons can readily see what a great injustice this would be. He has the right to stand up for us in the matter, and where his man is, we are in his hands. It was said of old Henry Clay that he would rather be right than president. Men may not find it possible to be quite so unselfish as that, but some such spirit should yet be manifest in the world—preferring to suffer injury rather than injure some one else. The mayor will lose nothing by standing up for the big principles. Abraham Lincoln lost nothing in standing up for a big principle. Men love to see men, to know men even if they strike at their heart prejudices. Benjamin Tillman has finally given into the fact that freedom was the better thing even for his beloved South. THE NEGRO PRESS When the Negro Press Association meets in Kansas City, Mo, next week it could do no better thing than to discuss what subjects are proper for treatment in race journals and how should they be treated. We suggest this out of no sense of bigotry or eagerness even if we have leaned differently as it concerns a few of the great questions that have recently confronted the race. We opposed strenuously the idea of picturing hanged Negroes; we still oppose the idea, holding that the thing is suicidal—race suicidal, despite the fine words about winning the support of the white people owing to the exhibition. It is not given to us, or any other individuals to always know what to do in such cases in order to win support, but there are some things that we should not do. Even to know these is not an easy matter, consequently there must be some head and front from which we can get some light if not actual guidance. The Negro Press Association will render its best service, if dominated by its best spirits, it takes on itself to suggest the mode and scope of the greater questions, suggesting shoals, shallows, false lights and those other things which are apt to wreck our hopes. Perhaps the Negro editors, being no different to the race in general, will not take their lessons, like copy book models, from any one person or from any part of the independence This means a spartan reason is helpful—is right. But we carry our independence too far, at times, seeming to fear that we will be considered trailers rather than leaders. So a common good, we will say, which could reach us by a direct and certain route is circumvented, delayed, and in the meanwhile opinion is forming against us, owing to our sensitivity. The thing of independence with us, as it concerns ourselves, has become idolatrous. We will not hear to leadership in any respects. The fellow with the stoutest lungs holds himself equal to the fellow of the strongest head, repudiating all wisdom and discretion. We are not in for a leadership of the Moses brand, for that would be illogical, because nearly every community has its own problems, consequently no one man would be able to give advice. Such close leadership is not needed owing to the make up of the country and of which we are a regular part and not a peculiar part. The recognition of one leader would tend to set the race aside, and to abide under other rulings than those coming from the common front of the nation. There are other reasons why no one man should hold the trencheon as grand master of the Negro race. No one man has so much wisdom; nor would it be wise to admit the necessity of such an individual. However, in all civilized countries there are groups of men, who, through their knowledge, experience, judgment and activity become leaders. In all branches of endeavor are found groups of men who are voted leaders by general assent, and who are so conspicuous for unselfish service to their communities their branches of endeavor that no one contest their right to serve as "fathers" when the call comes to them. This kind of leaders every community must have. Our own race while a part of the communities, must accept such leadership. True enough the leadership of the community is meant to be common, and has taught us that there must be a "yet closer supervision for the Negroes or they will go to pieces in a way. This must come from within the race—because there is an emergency. Evidences of falling apart are before the race in every section of this country. The white man is looking carefully after his own, and we get in incidentally, if at all. We mean that we are not his particular care. When he says, "we this and that", he means the white people. The wrong kind of independence is filling our streets with idlers and the careless, because they are physically free—without the spur of compulsion about them. There was a time and in the memory of the middle age, man when every older Negro man or woman was obeyed by those younger as if the older ones were their guardians. It was the golden age of gentility and which some hold as the age of undue submissiveness. Be that as it may the race was sweeter, more serene and sane for it than it is now when every man, woman and child is a law unto themselves. Again referring to the duty of the National Negro Press Association, it has a great work to do. The preacher in the pulpit has become palsied, and in self defense. If he is too strict and censurable the chances are that he will eat less for his pains. The platform lecturer is without audience; books are becoming a lost art, excepting to those whose business are mainly with them, and yet our race stands most in need of those mediums of help. We are coming up in many ways but in the way that counts most we seem to be at a pause—spiritual development for the better seems to be arrested, so we need to be further of a kind with our neighbors. We know of no medium other than the Negro Press to suggest and advise along this line—no other medium that can be so effective. White journals in more than a few cities are setting forth the happenings among the better class of the race. They have no reason to enter the inner precincts of our race—life—to advise and so forth. We are mistaken if we think that the news of our better institution and people is sufficient. The race must have the same admonishings, the same precept and example, the same line of conduct mapped out and followed. And if these things do not come through and by the white people, then somehow we must get them ourselves. A public education is the great need. THE GREAT FREDERICK DOUGLASS FILM COMPANY FIVE-REEL DRAMA BEING RAPIDLY BOOKED BY MOVING PICTURE THEATER OWNERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. That the great play-photo of "The Colored American Winning His Own Diversity," a reality, is evidenced in the growing demands of owners of moving picture theatres operated in several states for five years, the first release, ready, since its first release of only two weeks ago, the great five-reel picture theatre, the Alhambra Theatre, in New York City, at the Majestic Theatre in Jersey City, in Hampton, Va., at Alhambra Theatre, Chattanooga, Tenn., and will play the week of August 14th in Washington. At the New Lincoln Theatre. After enjoying a highly successful week with Mule Bradford's Minstrel and Song Revue, the New York Theatre has returned to presenting photo-plays and high-class vaudeville shows. The week are: Mr. Lackey Grant, in society and ballroom dances, assisted by the cast of comedy singing and dancing and Bille Dixon, comedian. At the Lafayette Theatre. The Lafayette players open on Monday afternoon in "A Fair of Sixes," a Broadway, which indicates from the manner it was received by the audience on the night of the week in the house of the best liked shows so far seen at this playhouse.

LINCOLN GIANTS TOYS WITH STRONG OPPOSING TEAMS IN LAST SUNDAY'S DOUBLE HEADER. To show its vast superiority over all other eastern ball tossers, the Lincoln Giants pitch a pitching staff composed of only two men. They are Cyclone Joe Williams and -Speed King Dick Redding. Either of these men when compared with any other pitcher doing service on colored baseball nines, rises over the compared as a giant does over each other, there is little left to choose and the New York fans seem to be equally divided in opinion, as Sunny Banks, the other headed bounty by tromping the Chesters and the Pittsfields in eighteen innings of exercise. Banks, a new twirler reeling in the pitch, rests in the Chesters, while Cyclone Joe rested. Redding stood up for the Giants in the last game and refused to allow a man to pitch in the last game farther than third base. The score: farmed basement basement Lincoln Giants. AB. R. H. O. A. E.

He was a fighter. He was a mixture of fighter and the boxer. His slashing, dashing, lightning speed was so coercive, fusing him with himself tied under his own arms and elbows during every other round. Buddy Faulks Almost Stops Monte After giving away weight amounting to more than ten pounds to the man who is expected to be the team to take on the championship, Buddie Faulks, the sensational little up-state bantam licked Monte Atel, a brother of the famous, completely unscandalized last Friday. There wasn't a moment after the gong had sounded for the first round that Faulks wasn't the real master of every situation, as he was at Atel flat for the full count of nine and in the next round, the fifth, he duplicated the same performance, making else but grab and hug, at which practice he successfully weathered the remaining rounds. The result of the fight was, as one shows at the end, Battery for evening: Faulks, pitching, and Atel catching. AMERICAN GIANTS WIN FIRST GAME IN MIDDLE EAST WITH LINCOLN STARS.

Address Sam Day Care Cook & Wilson Care The Freeman Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 6 Disinterested kindness, sympathy and assistance call soeldm that they are usually met by incredulity, apprehension and soildness. Justice (i.e., 20th Century justice) is grievously multiplied. She is not only blind, but deaf and crippled. A kick, that would scarcely disturb an ant-hill may disorganize a company. In order to acquire knowledge we must first learn that we are ignorant. The surest way to proclaim one's ignorance is by always seeking occasion to display one's erudition. Advice, is easily given, but seldom heeded or appreciated. The solicitor for advice usually is seeking approval of a honest commodity on the market, it may be secured without money or without price; one need not ask for it, just ask for the honest commodity. If the dispensers of advice, could or would, give the wisdom necessary to assimilate the advice given, there may be a dispenser's leap in the selling price for Advice. Evidently, those now engaged in seeking glory at the cannon's mouth, beautiful lines written by Lord Byron. "The drying up g single tear has more Of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore." "Our best friends are those who tell us them," and it is almost always a sure method to adopt to lose one's friends. Begging, crying, and likely will tell you to mind your own business or to "take the mote out of thine own eye." If Truth wishes to her ugly garments and clothes herself in the gaudy habiliments of Flattery, don't let us know that you know it. Advice: Continue to spread the salve. The CRISIS, edited by that fearless exponent of Negro rights, W. E. Burgess, wrote that the nerves of certain Southern Editors. These gentlemen have become so accustomed to submitting to all kinds of injustice, imposition and purporting of their conquest, that they are getting into really criminal, that a declaration of independence, in thought, word, deed or action, nettles these wortles or defends their attitude by asserting that these forward Negroes are injuring the race for which they are humiliating still the most effective weapon for the Negro to wield in defense of his rights. John T. Gibson, spent a few days of recreation at the Naughty Fellowship营地, Camps May, N.J. STAGEOSCOPE. (By N. U. G. Hot.) Hark, Hark! the dogs do bark, The actors are coming to town. Some with rags—some with gags And some all over and down. Dudley and Marion have their hands out if Dud is wearing the same number in shoes that he wore in former days they'll never be able to get their feet together. If the theatrical hog were killed and parts were issued to the main ones in the play, the audience will be fulness, Russell would get the head, Whitney the heart and shoulders and The Howard management would surely land the back one. I don't know whether Law Hall is mature enough to wish you girls would write him instead of me if you ant to find out about the pointed writer. Of course I agree with you when you would place his face in your place his face in the limelight—then one could tell something about him. Dear Hendon: I am a stage-struck girl. They tell me that the show business is on the bum and the booking is on the other side. They are going to get a lot of country fellows to help straighten things out. Of course these fellows have little knowledge of the business. For country fellows don't know to straighten any sport—like business, do they? Answer-Mr. Foster straightened the baseball situation in Indianapolis, and he is a Rube, Fan. Save every Freeman that you can and when your savage blood boils over you can surely find an extinguisher on some of the editorial pages. Tim Owlesley, say something. Frank Jackson, look cute. Good season for the garden stuff. Louisville served K. P.'s and String Beans in abundance. Ye follows who talk so much beware of Homer Tutt. He is silent—a sign of wisdom. A light suit of clothes makes a Dook look cool and swell I do declare, Full many a son swears a palm beach hat. Over Pittsburgh underwear. Dear Hendon: When will the show business get on its feet? Doubtful Dorothy. Answer—When won't there be on these eye brains to please some folks, Dorth. NOTES FROM JOHN ROBINSON'S CIRCUS. We are now in the state of Nebraska, the weather is fine, show running and the general side show manager Mr. Arthur Huffman is very much pleasurable, selected to fit up his side show band and miners' band. Terry who used to be with Prof. Wolfscale, and Leaman Goldsborough. Our leading comedians keep the public informed. Miss Mable Adams our dainty little sobrette, he is scoring daily, singing "Are you from Dixie?" She knows just how to dance. Mr. Henry Lockett soon be wedded to Mr. Henry Lockett. Last but not least Little Maggie Legare Motto is successfully singing, "Walkin' the dog" to believe that the dog, and loading up the mandolin.

ESCHMAN, CIRCUS At this writing we are in the State of South Dakota and find business about all that could be expected, owing to the sunny weather, opening of the marvelous pretty day is not wasted by many of the prosperous through this section of the country. The sunny weather makes son's greatest holiday day event which they find to be the J. H. Eschman Circus, come well armed with money so they can spend their time on many unique and un-to-date attract- first vacation Mr. Gibson has given him self since he undertook the herculean task of making the Standard one of the most playhouses of the Gibson Museum, primarily "If you wish a thing well done, do it yourself." He is a glutton for work; a man who is not a worker for labor done but requires the best service for the compensation given. He shoulders the bulk of the arduous and hard work for success in any business. This is the reason that the torrid weather has not materially affected the wonderful business of the Standard theater. Copeland and Peyton, two of the foremost Vaudevillians before the footlights, of four simple buildings fitted with gilded staircases and delightful skit entitled "Fun In A Dining Car." The special scenery is a correct reprojection of the original man diner. Lou Peyton furnishes the drolle comedy while Andrew Copeland injects the ginger and pep. It is just about the cleanest classiest of the theater goers should not miss the opportunity to enjoy this feast of mirth, music and song. The boys are booked for an ex-tour of the West over the best time. Prof. Gray, correspondent for the Phila. Tribune and the Indianapolis Freeman, may be seen every Monday looking at the Shoebox looking 'em over. And what is more he possesses the ability to write intelligently of what he has seen. It is hard to temper justice with mercy. The boys and girls need all the encouragement they are given. Boutte and Carter, known in vaudeville as the Nashville students have been coursing the New England States with much success. Akers and Jackson, the Creole Songbirds, were at the time the theatre theaters of New York. No NY theater over the Dudley time after which they will be seen with the Smart Set's New Production. "How Newtown Prepared." Sam Gray and Ora Dunlop, for several seasons with the Smart Set, are the most successful of the same name in Atlantic City. It was a mammoth undertaking and Sam and Ora deserve great credit going away. Completed run dances and they succeeded in making it a paying investment. They are playing the best acts and the people of the Salt-water town have decided to support the endeavor. Al Watts and Clarence Logan are presenting "The Darktown Revue." It was formerly headed by those well-known company is playing throut New Jersey. Mr. Perrin was obliged to return to Chicago on account of ill health. carriers carried by the J. H.

Mr. Perrin said that visit it daily. The mammoth spectacle parade leads them to the show, whereous acts of various kinds before the ticket booths are opened for the sale of tickets is the side show whereous acts of various kinds are peect to see and often remark that the minstrel alone is well worth more than the admission charged. Prof. R. J. Simons and Co. Regards to Prof. J. A. Harris and Co. J. Miles and Co., Prof. P. G. Lowery and Co. Prof. West has just received his new euphonium and is proud of it.

O'BRIEN'S GEORGIA MINSTRELS No. 2. (By J. B. Norton.) This is our first stand in Texas and business seems to be in keeping with Oklahoma, which was as good as could be, and to tell the truth it is better than we done in Oklahoma. The show is in better shape than it has ever been, and to tell the truth it is better than we done on the road. We have something to boast on that no other show can; that is, we have a novelty oil. We have one talking act in the olio. That is the song "The Ball Tonight." We have with us the bending wonder, Rex Schoenfeld, a acrobat, acts. Such as hand, acrobats, teams. We have with us the bending wonder, Rex Schoenfeld, a acrobat, acts. Our first part is something grand, Kid Lewis shows the show with a shouting song, "At the Ball Tonight." Then Kid Lewis shows the song "Happy Walk." and a large amount of apprehension then comes the singing soubrette, Miss Bulah Curtis. She has some pleasing songs, such as "Perfect Day," "Mornin' and Nine," and "I Can't Stop Loving You Now." More Story is there with "Everybody Rag With Me," then comes "The Ball Tonight," and the original Happy Howe, Happy Howe is singing "Honey Oh," and is still making his splits and bills, Billy Earl is singing "I Ain't Nobody's and brings the house down nightly. regards to Helen Bomsray and to Lonnie Reed of Akademie Gau. The managers are overjoyed with the good business they have been doing for the last two months. Mr. Roosenbark said he was going to make this the best show on the road, and he has succeeded in doing so, and there is none to compare with it, and when our manager, Mr. Lew Arison, makes his country announcement he is all amused and can clasp his hands for joy, because he knows there is none like his show going today. Our bookkeeper, Mr. Barry, says his fingers are sore from rifting silver dollars. Now that is not bad. The bunch had the pleasure of meeting Daddy Black in Ardmore, Okla. He wants to hear from W. E. Foee. Our orchestra is under the management of John Allen and H. Hunt. Have got him a New King Wonder model cornet, and his breast is sticking out all the time. He is laughing at the boys. Miss Bulah sends regards to the Churchills. ALEXANDER TOLLIVER'S BIG SHOW. (By Al. Wells.) Ma Rainey is going big as usual singing Down Home Blues. Also singing, Everybody's Man is My Man. McGinty & Leggs sister team are always one big long laugh. King Napple and the other are singing.

Sends regards to Tolliver. Little Ella Simmons, late of the Silas Green Co. is now with the big show, covering nights of the weeks, soaking nightly with her dance. Would like to hear from Mut Boyd. There has been a few performers that was charged from booths when using the hammer very strong lately. A good knock is always a boost, but there is always both sides while you are knocking. You were discharged for nothing, this time and time again you disobeyed the rules. "olliver has the Negro profession at heart, he is not trying to tear people apart, he is one of the largest and greatest Negro shows that ever traveled under people that can't act right and steal as you people did.

George Baker makes us all hold our breath. The Matts Brothers make most acrobats look like 20 cents. Tony Boyd, the contortionist Oh, my! Ada Lockhart is a whole show herself. Nobody can beat Goff Kennedy in "Uncle Ban." Did you ever hear Frank Smedley, the great basso? Right to us, see Means & Means balance charts. A. D.

Charon, the fast little shortstop of the homer, doesn't seem to throw like he has hasten got the nep in the old wing He is compelled to throw underhanded. Jeffield was out there in center, but he will be glad when Charleston is able to Jekyll. He can pull his usual turn in the box. He will do the work on Dismukes and Johnson. In the second game Sunday Torrentiere one to the fagolep for a homer. In certainly a terrific drive. If the fagolep isn't there I expect it would have been rolling yet. Powell is the idol of the fans. "The second game of the fans stashed the swing, the crowd atomately pulled in Powell. He made two hits in the first game, one of which was a triple. After having made two hits in as many times at bat, DeMoss came up in the pitch with Johnson perched on him. The crowd held their breath. Aisor, poor Bisco went down by the strikeout route. In Monday's game Dismukes hit a ball and Dizzy was surprised himself. It was a line drive over second base, and if Dizzy hadn't stopped to look at the ball he could have easily had three bases, where he easily got two. Among the professionals who were in the game, Shelton, Harry Fidler, String Beans, Wm. Benbow. They all enjoyed the game immensely. Fidler was pulling Cubas, but after Sunday's games we wonder "Who's Feedin Fidt". In the fifth inning of Monday's game the ball went over the mottory mightriTor里 at the bat. Tor里 had already signified that he was going to make a hit, but Dismuks said, he didn't. He didn't. Dizzy forced him to easy one to Brother Jim, and he was an easy out. This happened after he outspaced Jiminez off third with a snap throw.

IS HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF WITH PRESENT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION—WILLARD MAY RETIRE FROM GAME. (By J. A. Ermatinger.) Will Fred Fulton, the erstwhile plasterer of Rochester, Minn., climbed to the world without fighting a title-holder? History tells us that there have been instances where the wearers of flat weight have honored without dethroning a champion. Will history repeat itself, with the wearers of flat weight? It is an interesting problem. Several days ago Jes Willard, circling the victim of rumors circulated broadcast to the effect that the colossal glove wielder was content to走前一步 for the victim of rumors circulated broadcast to the effect that the colossal glove wielder was content to step aside to other seekers of wealth and publicity. Scanning the rather weak array of wearers of flat weight, the far and near corners, there seems but one who can be conceded to have a chance to step aside to the scald lard. The chance that dangles from the scald belt of that one is but the shadow of a full grown chance, but the props upon which he heavy-weighty are supporting themselves for an opportunity to meet the champion. Fred Possesses Youth. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. KID FINNEY PLANS BOXING UN DER THE NOM DE PLUME OF EDDIE MELVIN. THE BOXING FIGHTER Finny out under the non de plume of Eddie Melinv or some other name. He is not required from the game he does not choose to battle under his own name unless he can reach the top again, until then he will be in the boxing game as Eddie Melinv. In September Finny and his group of sparring partners accompanied by his own paper bag will depart for Hot Spin or Mount Clemens to establish training quarters for a comeback in the boxing game. Finny will be in the game nine years and in that time has boxed and defeated nearly all of the leading white top notchers in the game. Finny will be in the ring battles and has yet to take the count and has knocked out nearly 70 of his opponents. The little Colored pitcher in the game all Pittsburghs are proud to boast of. A record equaled by few boxers, white or colored, that is in the game. The Kid's name will go down in the record as one of the greatest in the game. PADDY McCUR UNDER THE MAN MONS WANT TQ 868P8.

Was a Messenger Boy in Indianapolis When He First Chance to Box. Izzy Brill, the Indianapolis scribe, tells how he discovered Jack Dillon, the greatest basketball player of his weight the ring has ever seen, and how Dillon got his start: "I was 18 years ago," says Izzy. "I was acting in the capacity of matchmaker for an Indianapolis membership organization known as Marion St. John, who was stained at this club, and exceptionally good boxing talent was used. At that time, he was eldered about the best lightweight in Indiana, and Jimmy Kelly was another boxer with a good record. He boys to try conclusions for six rounds for the main event. One day previous to the date of the contest Kelly was taken to the boxing school he search about for a suitable substitute for Kelly.

I can't use a fellow with such a "sissy" name as Ernest, but I don't. The union agreed to bring Ernest around to club for me to look over and have him put on the gloves with some of the other members. The Apollo Club. It was not long before Ernest was brought around. He was a huskily-built lad and good-looking, and looked like a looking charm, but was not a looking charm that his name might make one believe. "That struck me fine. How about his first name? Should I call him Erick Dillon? Should I call him Jack Dillon, and it was in his bout with Fortville Kid Brown that he established the name of Jack Dillon. Jack was 17 yeras old then and he was a very handsome man. He him his initial box before the public."—In Pittsburgh Gazette. MODERN PLAYERS HELPLESS WITHOUT BASEBALL GLOVE. Modern ball players are absolutely helpless without gloves, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Players on the field are not as well prepared of grounders rather than attack them with their bare hands. It is not like it was in the old days, before even the ball was in play. Even after the gloves was invented only the catcher used one for many years, and his mitt was far from being the only oldtimers to wield the players of today, which a rifle shot would scarcely penetrate. Silver Flint and many other oldtimers would laugh at the gloves, waving the players of today protect themselves before they go out to catch a ball. Of course the use of big gloves prevents injuries, gives the players confidence and makes the play faster, which is to be desired. The catcher must have a backstop to have gloves of any size, shape or weight. The catcher's mitt is a complete protection for the left hand and backhand fast balls players. The first baseman can wear a catcher's mitt if he wants to, but he does not do so, as a man who has to move about his position in a lively manner. The first baseman's mitt is larger and lighter than the players are limited to gloves weighing not over ten ounces and measuring not over 14 inches around the palm. The players are harder to handle many throws wants a bigger gloves than that, anyway. ONE-ROUND CHARLEY BEATS JONES ON FOUL. One round Charley of New Orleans, won from Gorilla Jones on a foul in round bout before a packed house at the S. P. A. pavilion Monday night, July 24th. Jones asked for a return, but the team was unable to win. Willie Jackson won a cleavet decision over Willie Miller of Plaucer, who round bout was one sided and he had a count of nine twice. Jackson outclassed Miller so far that their 10-round bout was one sided and he had a count of nine twice. The Red Sox of New Orleans, beat the Baton Rouge Cubs two out of a nine, and the St. Louis Park, Gussie Daigre, 145-pound Boxer, has met and defeated many good boys, will challenge any on in the past six weeks doing very effective work among the race.

They Earn Places on College Teams Through Speed and Endurance on Track. DISMOND THE STAR PERFORMER Howard Drew Is Another Splendid Type of the Ethiopian Athlete. With the intercollegiate track and field year a matter of athletic history, Howard Drew is an interesting note that Negro athletes have figured conspicuously in various events. Three dusky skinned performers jumped into the spotlight and their example is being followed by other their color" the preparatory schools. Although Negro stars often had been used in their color warra because they generally were not wanted on teams it appears as if the time has come when the Negro will be given just as much consideration by an office with at least when final selection of different teams is made. The men who have made good in recent years were so good that it was impossible to keep them Restricted in South. Of course in the south there is little chance for a Negro to make good in open competition. He must go to some institution for Negroes, and then go to another institution themselves. Occasionally, but rarely, they meet teams north of the Mason and Dixon line. If a colored man has athletic ambition and wants to join a big university team he must come north. Although there have been stellar Negro athletes in the past, there is a trio of stars who competed this year who warrant consideration. They teach success by hard conscientious work. They themselves good sportsmen in every sense of the word and their conduct undoubtedly went a long way toward winning from coaches and in lessening prejudice. Dismond a Real Star. Of this trio Bingo Dismond of the University of Chicago undoubtedly was the star performer, although only one of his players was considered. Dismond has the respect of every student who graced the maroon campus. There was no bragging board, but he was tempted to force his presence on teammates unless urged by those who wanted his company. There was no training Dismond gradually improved enough in his running to gain recognition from Coach Stagg of the midway institution. He was not the only player for time and the athlete improved rapidly that Stagg decided to give him a berth on the team. That the "Old Man" did not err in his running has been the mainstay of Dismond has been the mainstay of the maroon team track for the last two years, but the maroon point total in the big nine conference meet by equaling Meredith's world's record of 2-1-1 in the record set has another year at the university. Drew Even Time Performer. Howard Dréw, the college spinner developed in the east, is another athlete of the same type. It is a mean wind blows, but Dréw is not the former notorium of the century under time. He has met and defeated the best filers in the country and is looked upon as one of the best short distance players in the country. The other member of the black Mercury trio who has attracted attention is Sol Butler, former Rock Island high school spinner, who has cast his lot in the college. Dréw was in high school Butler was unofficially credited with :09 4-5 for the century and :21-3-5 for the furlong. He had performed well and is expected by the college to even better during his college career. LEO JOHNSON'S SPEED AND CLEVERNESS TOO MUCH FOR THE RUGGED SHAMUS CURRIEN. Eddie Dorssey Easily Whips Johnny Lore. After the fight was over between Eddie Dorssey the crack lightweight won. He was the first to win this city, the flastic experts who were gathered there all voted Dorssey to be the great lightweight which his manager has always claimed. His easy win made him a favorite as to his eligibility to meet any of the top lightweights in the country. AGENTS WANTED! For our new book. "Progress and Achievements of the Colored People.

You seldom see a gib talker who is not a monumental liar. Lawyer and Minister James L. Curtis is making good in Liberia. Why not a great military training school at Howard University? The idea grows. Thanks many thanks for bouquets, Brianna S. Tutt Whitney! We shall get even with you some day. By the acquisition of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, the race loses a consul, Christopher H. Payne, of West Virginia. Does anyone know of any good reason why a woman should not vote—and on the same terms as a man is allowed the suffrage. Savannah, Ga., is out for a colored Voter and a vigorous campaign for an adequate structure is being inaugurated. Push the good work! "It is but natural to distrust a friend who is "cheek-by-cheek" day by day. The Book says: "Men walk not long together test they agree." Perhaps those colored "Danes" we are to acquire through the purchase of a car will add picturesqueness to our John, will add picturesqueness to our rather somber local race problem. We never accept hearsay as a fact. We believe a man until we find out, from actual experience that he is competent enough to carry with him as through can be. The Negro masses are standing by Major Moton. We shall all help the gallant successor to Dr. Washington to bear the burden an expectant people have placed upon his shoulders. Negroes have numbers, in states, in cities, in districts, in lack of cohesive organization, they are rarely determining factors in elections—that is, in a definite and decisive way. T. J. Elliott a leading merchant of Muskogee, and big bighorn of Oklahoma, and big bighorn of Negro progress to the Kansas City meeting of the National Negro Business of an automobile party, the entire out- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER fit owning the automobiles in which they will make the journey. Isn't this "going some"? The annual meetings of the National Negro Business League are inspirations that lead to a larger commercial life for all our people. Let there be a record-breaking attendance at Kansas City on the 16th. Newport News, Va., "the place where Col. Matt. N. Lewis lives," rejoices over the acquisition of another colored bearer of the somewhat paradoxical name of R. H. Free. The Washington Bee and its "Sage of the Potomac" think a "heap" of the writer of this column. Always talk awfully to thus "get the goat" of these intellectual giants? It is now "Doctor Moton"—but can we abandon the old and beloved title of "Major"? We rather think not, but Moton to the end of the chapter, not-withstanding his newer honors. Ind., and his erstwhile neighbors in the Hooster capital are proud of the success that has attended the labors of their old comrade in the great North-west. The Negro in the labor field again Over a hundred and fifty men are now employed in the factory of the Singer Sewing Machine company, that the Company expects to increase this number to two hundred by fall. The superintendent speaks highly of the utilization of colored employees and says the policy of utilizing colored labor is to be permanent. Most of the men are from the South, a few come from the West Indies and one is a native African, from the Congo region. The influx of colored labor is bound to have a vast influence upon the economic, social and political affairs of both sections, as time will prove. THEO, SMITH'S DRUG STORE. The Greatest and Only Negro Mail The attention of our political friends is respectfully called just now to the "Keep cool and don't permit yourself to become excited about anything." Can you follow this safe and sane counsel? The colored citizens of Dallas, Texas, led by the intrepid editor W. E. King, Jr., are the most prominent of the civilians will try to put over on the campaign managers. Only those who "come clean" are entitled to the "willing ear". "Rats desert a sinking ship", says an activist, exhibits more common sense than many of our people, who never know when to cut loose from a corrupt political machine in "in bad" with the masses. A would-be "tax leader", whose habitat is not far from Columbus, O. does not mind exorcation at the hands of the brethren of the press—but has been treated with kindness. But, if the antics of a fellow are funny, what is the dear public to do? Although there are signs of occasional elbow-jostling and uncomfortable negotiation around the neighborhood of the South Side" . . . the still large enough to serve as a common business care and Editor Julius P. Taylor, of the Broad-Axle. The Savannah, Ga., Tribune, founded by the late Col. J. H. Hexeaux and developed into a metropolitan journal in recent years under the capable and well-educated son, has donned a new dress. The Tribune is a substantial business enterprise and is doing its share toward a new city of Savannah on the map. J. C. Lindsay's weekly letter on the New Yorker describes how these local organizations may keep alive the business endeavors of the city, and how shots in the Savannah, Ga., Tribune, There should be such a letter in the Negro newspapers in every section of and constructive. The White friends of Tuskegee Institute are giving $7.00 to every $1.00 given by the organization for their appreciation for such generosity by giving our $1.00 and giving it quickly. Hand the amount to your friend, and give it to the Negro Emmett J. Scott at Tuskegee Institute. The Negro's $250.00 should be raised by the first anniversary of the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington, November 14. Albon L. Holsey is something of a gregorian and a leading national organizer for the National Negro League. His activity in meeting and stirring up the business forces in the Negro community has a fond fondness at the Kansas City meeting of the League, August 16 to 18. Mr. Holsey is a remarkably brilliant young man and is well known to the work in which he is engaged. Some narrow-visioned folks, who fail to credit women with any more sense of what they are doing, are upon to trust the fair sex with a job that pays a living salary, for fear they may not succeed upon to trust the same "no doubt" in their chance—in the schools, public office, business or the general professions—and if she won't do better with money than most any man you know of. Professional "panhandlers" are booked for a hard year with the campaign managers of all the parties. At least 100 political leaders have gotten onto the curves of the fellows who seek to have their "mitts greased"—yet have not an iota of influence. The tilla of influence with the voting masses. There is tough sledding ahead for the professional grafters and panhandlers of politics. Col. Charles W. Anderson, who needs no introduction to any American audience, has been trusted to trust, and wherever he has been clothed with responsibility and power he has been faithful to his obligations. His leader he has been broad, generous and capable, and has exhibited sterling qualities of head and heart that have been evident in his clothes and blacks alike throughout the length and breadth of the country. Negro insurance companies of the solidity and experience of the North and South, and the institution, of Durham, N. C., have the call in this day of open-eyes and shrewd thinking on the part of the race. We own our people. We are erecting temples of business and giving employment to the bright young men and women using our work year after year. Verily, Charity begins at home." The conference of Negroes, called by Rev. Byron Gunner, to consider the condition of the race in this country, calm, frank and unselfish discussion of the Negro's outlook in this country ought to understand between the races in all sections of our land. To be truly effective, such a conference must be devoid of factionalism. Differ as we may, individually, on a multitude of mooted questions, one when it comes to the fundamentals of Negro citizenship and social justice. The virile Cleveland Gazette, through which the powerful personality and ability of the president Smith is reflected throughout the Buckeye state from Lake Erie to the winding Ohio river, is celebrating. Here our congratulations and best wishes for thirty-four more years of prosperity and success. We agree ways agree with the methods of Editor Smith, but we do take off our hats to him because he is indeed a man of integrity and consistency the pursuit of his ideals. There is more than one pathway to the heights. Wilberforce University is being roundly praised for the prosperity that the school has achieved of President W. S. Scarborough. The State of Ohio has done much for the school and a scale befitting the mission of Methodism's great center of learning. To supplement the aid thus generously provided by the school, vice-president of the University is planning to raise a fund of $50,000. Our people never fail to give when a cause is worthy—and this one certainly merits all that can be bestowed upon Attorney William T. Francis, of St. Paul, Minn., has been nominated for the 35th district, defeating a competition by a large majority at the primaries. He is the first district is equivalent to an election, so the colored race may expect to be handsomely represented. Any people, who by circumstance are segregated from the general mass of citizens, must be brown, if they hope for justice and fair play in the matter of Francis. Francis was reeled in Indiana. Ind., and his erstwhile neighbors in the Hoosier capital are proud of the success that has attended the laborers old comrade in the great North-west. The Negro is in the labor field against Over one, hundred and fifty colored men are now employed in the factory of the Singer Sewing Machine company, Bethlehem, and is said that the Company expects to indulge this number to two hundred by fall. The superintendent speaks highly of the industry and reliability of the colony, and utilizes colored labor is to be permanent. Most of the men are from the South. A few come from the West and are from the Congo region.
