The Clarke Training School, known North and South, East and West by reason of their helpfulness to young women and girls, runs everywhere, has changed its location. Growing out of its quarters at 2422 K Street, the painstaking and broad vision principal, decided to take the commodious posture in the main street between in the heart of the popular residential section of the city and far more convenient and accessible to the women and patrons than any other place she sheds its joyed. Westminster street is the pretty little square between Ninth and Eleventh streets, the clarke has turned out some of the most excellent, and is in a quiet neighborhood, especially adapted to educational work. Since the establishment of this school in the same age group, the clarke has turned out some of the most dressed workers, milliners, hawr workers, manicurists, ladies tailors and dressmakers, the most of the country has known, and wherever they are employed the demand has been for more of the same kind. It has been a great success, and the supply the extraordinary demand for competent workers, and is now open to compelled to provide larger accommodations and to adopt a curriculum not only more comprehensive, but adapted to individual talents. Mrs. Clarke, a lady of rare social and intellectual gifts, endears herself to students, mother sister, so sympathetic is she with them in their strivings and ambitions. In an interview with her this week, Mrs. Clarke pointed out a few of the challenges young women have in attending the Clarke Training School: First. As to time: In nine months the school would usually require several years in other schools. Second. As to employment desired: Dr. Clarke the latter said, "After completion of prescribed courses, students are furnished with work paying liberal allowances. All materials are furnished to students. Fourth. Hours are arranged to suit the convenience of students. Fifth. There is family and life life for the student from abroad and personal interest taker in the social and personal life of the students. Mrs. Clarke is a thorough "race woman," and it is an inspiration to be woman" into contact with her school and with the constructive work she is doing for humanity.

Monday was "Tennessee Night" in the District of Columbia. The untwent section of the nation's capital was alive with the activities of of the flower of the professional, social and business life, eager and anxious to do honor to two of Tennessee's best known and most progressive citizens—Mr. A. A. Felding, president of the Felding Bonding Company, real estate magnate and political leader, and Mr. W. C. Kennedy, president of the W. C. Kennedy Jewelry Company and owner of the Gem Theater, both of the classic municipality of Knoxville. They were the guests of the local "Tennessee Association," through whom was extended the freedom of the city, and the immediate celebration took the form of a "smoker" and "Dutch lunch-eon," with a large group of Washing-touls representative gentlemen as co-operative hosts. In connection with this enjoyable social function, refreshments appropriate to the occasion were served by Mr. A. A. H. Underdown, whose reputation as a caterer is continent wide. The fact that he had charge of the edibles is an automatic guarantee that they were abundant, varied and up-to-date. The affair was held at the Tennessee houseware, on U street, and the feasting, story telling, "reminiscening" and optimistic prophesying as to the future continued until the wee sma' hours' threatened to expand into larger figures. The splendid function was under the direct supervision of the "Tennessee association," which is officered as follows: Joseph M. Triggs, president; Robert E. Rhea, vice president; J. Finley Wilson, secretary; Stewin M. sergeant-at-tarmar rectors, Dr. W. H. Hastle, Finley Paterson, A. H. Underdown, A. E. Dogan, Stephen M. sergeant-at-tarmar, and delightful feature of the affair was the presence of Tennessee's favorite and universal "joy producer," "Cascade," and a hearty wine was drunk to the health of Mr. L. B. Thipper, local manager of generosity made it possible, for these flow of "Cascade" that "is mellow as the moonlight," to quote the eloquent invited guests, aside from theogeneous, were Judge Robert H. T. Gorman, Colonel Phil/Walback, R. W. Thougheen, Colonel Phil/Walback, Dr. C. Wormley and others. President Trigg introduced the visitation of the museums were full of practical suggestions and rippling wit and humor. Mr. Felding is the best known politician in the South controlled by our people, the estate operator and broker, Mr. Kennedy owns the largest jewelry house in the South controlled by our people, the extensive titerary covering Chicago, the theater, the Gem, in his home town. They have been making a tour of the museum, in company with Mr. While here, in company with Mr. McKinney, in company with Robert P. Rhea and Dr. W. C. Hastle, they presented to the Tennessee conference a memorial, asking that steps be taken to establish military training camp established at Knoxville, to prepare colored men for the war. This camp is to be after and arranged like the famous military treatment at Plattsburg, N.Y., or while the Spanish-American war two colored regiments were in camp in North Carolina and the Sixth Virginia and authorities agree that the health of these regiments at Knoxville was better in camp in the United States. Congressman Austin and Sells will push this color camp proposition, and is expected to be taken at the next session will be taken at the next session of the national lawmakers. Felding and Kennedy have returned to the hospitality and good fellowship of the people of the District of Columbia in unanticipatedly in the movement to make their stay "one grand sweet song."

"Both Hughes and Wilson made themselves clear on the Mexican, European and woman suffrage question. Not only that, but also that Colored men and women of our race to call national convention and defeat them in campaign some recognition. The fledged American citizen should ask this nation what stand it is going to take in regard to lynching and the murder of women. Such a meeting would do much to show our political strength." G.

ECHOES OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. In Seventeenth Annual Session at Kansas City, Mo., August 16 to 18. sickness costs $75,000,000 per annum. There are 112,000 Negro workers in the South, and it costs $45,000,000 a day for the tunes the Pops blow from their work on account of sickness. Much of this can be prevented and it should save its ammunition that yield results for Bro. Chase did not indulge in the tunes the Pops blow from their work on account of sickness. Ducks in the good old Bee was noted for its "Bee was noted for its" By an Eye Witness. The league made few changes in the official roster. Solidarity is best preserved by keeping the true and tried soldier on guard. Dr. Washington's old aphorism "A force of complaint has lost none of its original force, and has frequently quoted by the speakers. Dr. Motton expressed that the Negroacher teaches the less potent and urged the masses to continue to stand by the brethren of the cloth who expound the Word. At the invitation of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of the Sears-Roebuck Company, he moved the farm to Chicago to view the mammoth plant of this splendid business concern. David Chiles, of Kansas City, started truck gardening with 25 cents forty-nine years ago. He now owns 100 acres not counting the farms he has given children and has a generous bank account. Leon Jordan, Kansas City's "colored mayor," threw the gates wide open to the visitors and gave all a sample of City hospitality. He was "on the job" night and day throughout the week. Mrs. Booker T. Washington addressed the women's federated clubs of Greater Tuskegee Alumni Tuesday evening, met Tuskegee Alumni at home of Prof. J. R. E. Lee, principal of the Lincoln High School. Albon L. Holsey and Lieut. J. O. T. Thorne general assistants to Secretary Scott, they made a fine first line of defense and handled a mass of details without a single error or miscalculation. Mrs. L. Lena Sawner, principal of the high school at Chandler, Okla., was the most apprehensive of the society's club-women's forces from the State of Oklahoma, and did the honors to a "queen's taste." The automobile party from Oklahoma was the talk of the session. It was the reception for the social development of the Negro people. Each car was owned by members the race committee for the occasion from a Caucasian garage. President-elect Napier pledged himself to the mission of the societies of Dr. Washington, with just such interjection of his own personality as applying up-to-date and rendible these policies up-to-date and rendible the operation more and more effective. The National Postal Alliance, of which Arthur K. Bruce, of Chattanooga, and Michael J. Browne, of during Business League week and worked in sympathetic co-operation with each other. The alliance and the league held their banquets jointly. The report of the National Negro Press Association, presented by Secretary of State Thomas J. McCormick, was one of the highlights of the entire session. Printed copies were distributed to those particularly interested in this branch of the leagues' city. The city was decorated throughout. The many beautiful murals in the dental districts bore the national colors and portraits of Dr. Washington, as well as the business houses in the district of the shopping district. "Welcome" was written in large letters everywhere. The banquet Friday night at Convention Hall "took the rag off the bush." The scene was one of beowildering beauty and furnished an admirable climax for the week's festivities. Kansas was the most beautiful city, pretty women, and the lady visitors handsomely supplemented the roster. Acting-Mayor Albert I. Beach, welcoming the league, in the absence of Mayor Edwards, made some speech, and he was the head of the Bar Association. He hails from Mississippi and is a leader in the state that gave the country its only colored United States Senators. Dallas, Texas made a determined fight for the next convention, but the unwritten law that no successive meetings are held in the same general territory made it impossible to accept the convention. In some other section has intervened. It was the Middle South's turn for the next convention. On the program were educated Negro doctors, ministers, lawyers, bankers, business and workingmen of every type. Te people of both races heard them gladly—some listened with open-mouthed amazement to their stories of a competence in this world's goods. G. A. Page, who manages the only colored shoe store in Kansas City, Mo., talked about the importance of wearing colored shoes and the general health—and caused a general laugh by advising all to be sure to get their shoes "large enough" for that peace of mind is closely related to an individual's physical well-being. N. C. Bruce, who won the world's corn grand premium at the Panama Exposition at San Francisco in 1915, told how he raised the rich grain that caped the Panama Canal and M. College, Dalton, Mo., he is engaged in teaching the process of soil production to young colored men—and he added that this is a noble work, the soil never draws the color line." An audience of 1,500 gathered at Lincroft on the campus of Lincroft to an inspiring address on phases of Negro business life. The importance of health to the race was emphasized by Ala. "Negroes must stop getting sick and dying so rapidly," declared Dr. Levy. "Health is a matter of timely health." Negroes are sick each day, and this sickness costs $75,000,000 per annum There are 112,000 Negro workers in the South, and it costs $45,000,000 from the work on account of sickness. Much of this can be prevented and it should be done." Dr. R. R. Moton's singing was a feature of the convention. He is a masterly interpreter of the Negro folksong, the Man's Song, the Man's and "Climbing Jacob's Ladder" are among his best efforts. He says the white man may bear a black man and "perhaps more things—but he certainly cannot beat the Negro at singing Negro songs. And all agreed that this is true. In answer to a query, we give the information that the previous sessions of the league have been held as follows: Chicago, 1902, Ribbon, Va., 1902 Nashville, Tenn., 1904, Indianapolis, Ind., 1905 and 1910; New York City, 1905 and 1910; Philadelphia, 1908, Baltimore, MD., 1909; Louisville, Ky.; 1411, Little Rock, Ark.; 1913, Philadelphia, Pa.; 1914, Muskogee, Okla. Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age, after eulogizing Booker T. Washington, ringing plea for a strong pull all over the land to raise the $250,000 asked by the trustees of Tuskegee Institute to show how much work is needed per perpetuation of the uplifting agency the "Wizard" had founded in the South's Black Belt. The Negro cannot show is approved, and work in a more practical form than by giving from $1.00 to $10.00 to this memorial fund for Tuskegee Institute, argued Mr. Moore. Of course the veteran town-builder, Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of the Tuskegee Institute, and shook hands with everybody, Mound Bayou, which he developed from an open field and virgin forest, is now home to a cotton mill and telephone office, railroad station, street railway, business houses, galore, a state bank, a $100,000, cotton mill and telephone office, railroad station, street railway, women. Mr. Montgomery was once the slave and body-servant of Jefferson president of the Confederacy. The city officials of Mound Bayou are all colored. Some of the new life members secured this year are: J. H. Goode, Co-ordinator, Hampton Park; G. W. Cox, Meridian Miss.; C. H. Turpin, St. Louis, Mo.; David Chiles, Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. J. Borne, Kansas City, Mo.; James Waring, Jackson, Miss.; E. O. Powell, Mound Bayou, Miss, and Rev. J. H. Jernagain, Borne, Kansas City, Mo.; James Waring, membership is $250, and all these cheerfully paid the amount into the treasury. The money from this source is needed for the benefit of the organization. Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone, of St. Louis, president of the Poro College, varied the program from growing cotton, potatoes and corn to g-woring hairrage for "good hair" is an excellent sign, for it indicates a large measure of personal pride on part of our students, and it assists men who did so much to make them happy to look just as attractive to the art could make them. A woman who is willing to take a little time and use the proper treatment can have her hair reside in the hair. Mrs. Pope-Turnbo-Malone has made a fortune out of her year was able to donate $5,000 toward the colored Y. M. C. A. of St. Louis. theatrical business is comparatively new venture to colored men, and theatrical productions year in all of the populous centers of the country. Consequently, the address of Charles H. Turpin, proprietor of the theatrical company in Louis, was listened to with more than usual interest. Mr. Turpin told interestingly how he had advanced his business through the use of brick structure, with all modern appurtenances for dramatic and musical productions. He relied on the constant improvement shown by the people in nature," and predicted that the time was not only would not only possess houses that would give high-class vaudeville and moving pictures, but that in every city would have a full-fledged theater, capable of handling the largest road shows and presenting the standard plays of Washington, the Lafayette in New York Ct y and the Standard in Philadelphia, the outlook for the colored man in the field of theatrical endeavor, both as a manager and as a performer. SHORT FLIGHTS. Miss Corinne L. Thomas, daughter of Mr. J. C. Thomas, the well-known educator graduated from the Sargent School for Physical Education, Boston, and was a prominent factor at the summer school. She graduated from I. State Normal Institute, Nashville, Penn., making good in all work assigned to her. Miss Thomas is concerned with teaching and will, in all probability, become a member of the faculty of one of our leading high schools this fall. She is close to humanity, for it means good health, longer life and increased efficiency. The Washington Bee feels called upon to make weekly defenses of its protege, the Hon. Ralph W. Tylter. The reason for this coddling attention is not clear. The Bee is not a People, including newspapers and correspondents, sometimes laugh at the antics of the former auditor for the navy and the assumption of "leadership," but nobody cares enough about the matter to assault him maliciously. The Bee has a sad habit of saying, "I rather doubtful diversion of knocking them down." It During the recent campaign against the adoption of the monstrous segregationist rhetoric of the strongest protests in opposition to the measure was that written by Dr. Charles Henry Phillips, a leading historian of the Civil War and published in Reed's Mirror, a Caucasian illustrated weekly of large influence and international circulation. The measure upon the thinking people of St. Louis' and was more generally discussed than any similar brochure on the subject. The monstrous tantic struggle of the race for fair treatment in the matter of housing and has the moral courage to fight and has the moral courage to fight for what he believes to be right, be the cost to him what it may. This was the only able race for Congress in the Twelfth District of Missouri, when he felt that such a course was necessary to maintain the colored voters of his bailwick. The people everywhere are talking about Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, Chicago's new soprano star, who recently won the diamond medal at the Carnegie Hall, the highest average in the graduating class. She is the first to take part on the commencement program at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra department. She sang "Caro No Me," from Rigoloite in Italian, accompanied by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She was endorsed by the leading musical critics. The usual course at the Chicago Musical College covers four years, which includes the piano class, and she finished in one year. Mme. Talbert is the daughter of Mr. Thomas A. Cole, formerly of Detroit, who has traveled far and wide with the Hahn Concert Company, including a many recitals, besides devoting some time to teaching. She has made a thorough study of the modern languages. She was soloist at the last recital. A book is to appear this month that bids fair to be one of the year's "best sellers" to cover the caption How Should Should Should Should Gain the Patronage of His Own People," and is to be placed on the market on the Progressive Book Publishers, of Philadelphia, for its importance in Negro in business, with statistics illustrative of our commercial development. It points out the importance of a place where people can look, looking people, and tells how the patronage of white and colored buyers may make instructors in the buying at the lower levels to establish credit with wholesalers, and what constitutes good salesmanship. Thus a book will be hailed with great praise, and it certainly fills a long-felt wan. WANTED.

By the customer explaining how their scalp feels and the action of their hair, we can help them understand WHY their hair acts so and the cause of such actions. When our agents are concerned concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't understand the scalp, but they know at a glance at the scalp and by the customer explain- ing how their hair acts. They are able to treat that scalp and get it back in a healthy condition. Some people are of the opinion that warts do not grow the other. The trouble lies in the treating of the scalp. If the hair is proper treatment the hair is forced in growth. The main thing is getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of cream. It is important many is why they fail. Our shampoo softens the hair, cures humor, slight tense skin, and helps the pores in the scalp. It clears the scalp of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the hair, of letter and eczema, so when a customer comes in with such a bad case that, they are able to cure it without any extra charges to the customer. These tonics are not sold by agents to customers, they are able to cure it without any extra charges to the customer.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 9, 1916. President Wilson and his co-laborers at Washington, who are responsible for the precedent of introducing segregation in the offices of the capital, have it to their credit that they were open and honest in what they did. Honesty is the best policy, perhaps, all of the time, since it leaves no doubt of the intent. But an of fense honestly offered is no less hurt than the one of stealth. There is not saving efficacy in that kind of honesty. Really it is meant as a brutal defiance, virtually saying, what are you going to do about it? We can at least protest it, arranging nar row-souled individuals, trying them eternally before the tribunal of just men, and before the greater court where justice is inevitable, or faith destroyed in the present and future hope of the world. MR. FAIRBANKS NOTIFIED. Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana has been formally notified that he was nominated for Vice-President on the Republican ticket. The interesting ceremony took place in this city, the home of Mr. Fairbanks, Thursday of last week. In his speech of acceptance he briefly dealt with the stand-out issues that now confront the country. He insisted that the present Democratic administration is due to the untimely split in the Republican ranks, consequently it was not the desire of the voters that there should be at this time an administration by that party. Mr. Fairbanks said that the present policy was practically manufactured. The gigantic war which so engages the old world, he says, is responsible for the good times which have been on since the beginning of the strife. He spoke of the lean years that were setting in before the war, holding that it was due to the Democratic policy as it concerned the enactment of tariff measures. After the war when the reaction sets in, Mr. Fairbanks sees the necessity for the return to power of the Republican party in order to sure a prosperity that comes a flash, but a prosperity that comes a wise enactments such as has followed the Republicans when in national control. Mr. Fairbanks stands for a large marine, an army and navy sufficient to comper respect. He is also for industrial preparedness, because the prosperity of the millions depend on it. He is without the flourish of trumpets, but is held to be a very dependable man guaranteed by his long standing and of good report before the country. PRESIDENT WILSON. Eyidently President Wilson knows that he is a tower of strength within himself when it comes to letter-writing and speech-making. His finely phrased speech of acceptance is not without method, and as that finally phrased platform at St. Louis was not without method. In fact, Mr. Wilson came into political prominence by his well-timed, finely sensed and finely written articles that appeared from time to time in the various publications of the country when he was president of Princeton University. Some are inclined to dey this strong development in the President despite the fact that it brought him the presidency. Colonel Roosevelt, the doughty, the man with the bulldog grip, in his speech at Lewiston, Maine, took a fling at the chief executive, insisting that his deeds have not squared with his fine words. And we are not wholly different from the colonel in our views of the present incumbent of the white house as it concerns the Negroes as citizens. The thoughtful will ever admire the finer vestment for finer thought. They are disappointed when the job is discovered to be warped or dislapsed, thus departing from the standard of a rounded righteousness which is voted men of great thought and great utterance. Says the holy writ: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a finkling cymbal." We are afraid that the indictment reaches President Wilson as it concerns the Negroes, of whom he is also President. We could readily work around the fact that he has ignored the contention on the part of our race for office in spite of the fact that he has catered to races and cliques of men in the matter of appointments, since we could not little like the scene of his party. Louis D. Brendele, the Jew, was appointed with a method; and we dare say he hoped to make good his loss when he put the Negroes from him by the order of segregation in the offices of the government at the capitol and his other manifestations of lootness. That order was infamous; and it will not be justified by all the wisdom and fine phrasing in the world. We were struck down by the head and front of the nation, destroying the sacred hearth as it were, to where men fled when too relentlessly pursued by the enemy, and where men erstwhile were safe. Nothing is left to do but beat the breast of despair, rend the clothes and tear the hair owing to the universal denouncement and because there is no longer a throne of appeal. It would not be human to rest quietly, giving sympathy to the encroachment of civil destruction. We, in common with the race, have thought well of Mr. Wilson as an individual of intelligence, and notwithstanding the unpardonable sin he is yet subject for admiration. But as a well-rounded man he is marred in our sight. And we think he would have fared equally as well in his campaign had he not grown microscopic and it concerns us. He was jovian when trying to avert the various wars that threatened, including the great strike that impended. We are not questioning his methods; we are thinking of his efforts, and which were clearly in the interest of peace. We are not questioning his price for peace, but his desire. Against this seeming wholeness he puts to possible wreck at a single stroke the hopes of ten million of the citizens by setting up the precedent of race division in the highest place in the land. He invites spiritual degradation, destruction and death without evincing conscientious alm or scruples. It may be that the nation prefers an individual at its head who is in for internal disturbances by way of encouraging civil inequalities. It may be that it prefers one who wishes to conduct the government offices as he would his own household. It may be that it prefers the jingle of fine words to that broad charity which spreads its mantle to the utmost, defending righteousness to the very verge of destruction. It may be that it prefers an individual of pronounced race views to one who would extend the empire of love within the empire, encompassing all to an extent that is only bounded by the impossible. IMPENDING STRIKE AVERTED. The thing to be thankful for is that the threatened strike has been called off. We think with many others that the government is outside of its business in regulating the affairs of private concerns. It is impossible to know the operating requirements of big concerns, or even small ones without intimate acquaintance. And admitting that the members of congress have intimate acquaintances, yet theoretically, they possess no such knowledge, nor should they possess such knowledge other than as a matter of information or further intelligence as citizens. Their help in the instance was timely and needed; and such action at such a time will not be censured by men. For after all it is a matter of getting along agreeably in government, as much as it is to comply with the niceties of fixed laws and rules. The people are higher than the laws. It is dangerous to depart from the rules that men learn to obey and respect; yet had not congress took the step it did we would have had a reign of terror. France had such a period when every expedient was resorted to to restore order. Unheard of things were done hopelessly done. The strike averted was the one thought of the nation. It does not matter so much at this time how it was averted. This is as it should have been, leaving it to the judgment of thoughtful men to patch up a peace between the contending parties in the days to come. President Wilson and congress are to be thanked for taking the bull by the horns. For while republics recognize and respect the claims of all men, the situation and the effort to adjust themselves, yet it has also the higher duty to perform, applying heroic remedies when the commonwealth is threatened with disaster. It is true that the Negro does not get in direct touch with the fine situation of American workmen. But he is touched, nevertheless, by the influence since the wages of whatever workman, union or non-union, are based on union workmen's scales. If the Negroes and non-union men are not distanced, they are not distanced. In short, the union workmen pull all up as they go. The general intelligence of all, workmen and employers, ought to insure against any action that tends toward destruction for either. The wage-earner has his physical self to preserve. He wishes to see his children well up in the world before he becomes unfit for duty. And incapacity is at the end of all men, and it is clearly up to the workman to string out his years as long as possible. He must insure against old age, or the country will have a repetition of some other countries whose aged poor are indeed the miserables of this life. Then, too, is the thing of efficiency. The working men are not machines; they cannot go on forever it is said that even men need the thought of employment of life. Eight hours a day may appear unjust to the employers according to their present plans of operation, but it seems to be the sense of the country, as it concerns the railroad employees, that the plans of operation be changed to meet the great demand. This means more expense to the general public; yet it is far better than a strike which would not only be disastrous in the instance, but which would tend to further array labor against capital. KNOCKS SEGREGATION. The judge of the United States district court at Norfolk, Va., recently gave the segregating ordinance of Newport News of that state a black eye. The injunction, however, is not permanent; it is returnable this month. September, at which time the judge of the United States district court at the view of permanently enjoining the operation of the ordinance pending the decision of the United States su- preme court, before which a case in kind is now pending. Theilio grew out of an order giving a large number of colored people thirty days to move out of a district, being charged with having violated the segregation ordinance, which prohibits them from living within areas defined by the law. A Negro who enjoyed a comfortable rent roll in the district employed white attorneys to make this fight for him. The result so far is as mentioned, and from the appearance of things he will get a permanent injunction and be sustained by the United States supreme court. serve, and which is not given men to defeat. The church, the lodge, the school stand out in the clear in demonstration of the other thing; that piece is a loyalty commitment, and well worth while. No with it, and if true it be that begotten signals and codes. Yea, verily necessity is the mother of invention, and those greater institutions came about through necessity. However, from that day to this day is the fair cry, and it may be that the faith is not being kept; that the race is not being run with patience. The new Negro is not nearly so faithful to the old order of things. And it may be that the speaker had him in mind when making its promises and proselytising not doing so. The reverence with which he has surpassed that begotten signals and codes, and if true it be that begotten signals and codes. A little prodigy then is a good thing. Individuals, can get off making it a point to weal on ends, permitting it to care for itself as best lic spirited men are relied on, where and our race must be faithful to the old order of things. That the zeal for communion does not run too low. That bench has been commendably fair in the more recent years concerning the cases in which the citizenship of the Negroes which came before it was involved. We say this advisedly, knowing that supreme judges are human, and that they are of most excellent understanding. There are some things which they could not bring about even if they were twice as important as they are. They could do nothing much with questions touching on social equality, and they could take time that some what of the civil status was involved. They can, however, help make fast those larger principles of citizenship, and without which a citizen is reduced to a hostility. There are some things, we contend, that the race must take, in a manner; they must fight for them. A failure is not a failure when all is done that is humanly possible to do. We take our rights in republics. We say this in face of the complicated relationship based on race, color or previous condition of servitude. Allowance is to be made for certain impositions on this account. It has merely to do with the social and near social phases. Otherwise we are to contend until the object is attained, never resigning our effort or position, and as deposed kings and queens are are sovereigns yet, under and in all circumstances. Segregation, unequal sufficage tests, denying the right to be voted for or to hold, among the citizens within, if they must be, yet are not, as they concern us. They are not to be recognized as invalid. Those by gone pones, although divested of temporality, clung to it with a beautiful tenacity. Our contentions are not debatable. We are of the citizenship of this country, and which citizenship cannot be parcelled out to sets of men. If it is perforce then we must die in the knowledge that we are rebels, glorious rebels, to the latest breath, acknowledging no order that strips us of the essentials of citizenship, and without which we would merit no man's respect, nor even deserve it. SIZING US UP. The new secretary of the Y. M. C. A., F. E. DeFrantz, of this city, in making an appeal for loyalty to the work, recently addressed circular letters to individuals whom he thought should be interested in sustaining it. The letter starts off with an eyeopener, saying: "A well-known authority in a recent address referring to the loyalty of the Negro, remarked that it is of the primitive sort with only a blind allegiance to a purpose, rather than the higher type of loyalty which is helpful, cooperative and intelligently corrected." Then follow pertinent questions suggested by the individual's assertion. It goes without saying that the expression is not thoughtless. In fact, it shows that we are being most critically examined, most thoroughly studied. The conclusion, which we must confess is not altogether poetry, has been drawn from the race en masse, or from those whom it is thought, perhaps, are the representatives of the race. The indictment is mean and disturbing because it hits at the truth even if it fails to ring the bell. And if the tendency is there the fact may be in the near background. In discussing such questions an apology is often felt to be due to the Negroes. Most of us are opposed to the confirmation of great big hurting principles of that kind. It has been only within recent years that race dared to headline a fact of any kind that reflected on the race. This timidity is now gone, and we fear that there is danger of running the race. The extreme Among the race is a remarkable freedom of abuse, burlesque and so forth, and which is not permitted to others. This grossness and familiarity have begun to appear in our publications, so much so that there is great danger of overdoing the thing. We cannot get away from the fact that there is a decided tendency to make Negroes appear ridiculous to others on the part of Negroes. The stage is an extreme example. Some audiences are entertained most where the poor Negro is abused most. And yet we complain or something that happens to us uses the audience that we view us differently to what we view ourselves. It has not always been that way. While the foregoing will scarcely be doubted, the race is much opposed to even the consideration of such a proposition as is set forth in the circular letter. And yet we must be prepared to meet such criticism whether it be true or false. If it is true it becomes our duty to look into the matter, to set our house in order. If we are swayed merely by blind passion to support institutions rather than by the deep sense of duty, it is up to us to revise our status, reduce to the actual, void of hypocrisy, shams or self deception. A little personal inventory will set our mind to the realities within ourselves whether we are loyalty attached to institutions. We can know if we are genuinely interested. And we know of nothing else that can bring about the desired harmony so well as a rigorous self-examination. It will not do in these days when great institutions are springing up about us as if by the fabled lamp of Aladdin to be wrote down as indifferent and unconcerned about them. Of course, those institutions still flourish despite nonenthusiastic attention of which complaint is made. The danger is in the notable indifference, admitting that it is that way, showing a characteristic in development which means spiritual sloth or retardization, and which will eventuate in a spiritual coma or fixedness from which we will not be lifted owing to the dead weight of lethargy. If the charge is false it will be very easy to be so proven. To labor under a false report is sometimes discouraging to some people. To others it is a glorious labor since there is the consolation of turning successful batteries on the opposition at any moment. This is a most sulendid re JACK TROTTER'S NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT serve, and which is not given men to defeat.

Sergit Washington reported a successful trip to the United States to a unappointed was Mascot Rufus Monroe. Bubbles Currier B played Sunday and Monday, Labor Day. The Sunday trip was to Milford, O. team, which was so weak that they put Willie Brown, the crack shortstop, in to pitch, and he simply took the ball. So tame every one kicked on such bookings. The Labor Day game was just as soft, the only interesting things were the pitching and sleep was the pitching of the 15-year-old phenomena. Harley Graham, of the New Richmonds. He is good and got the pitching and one and one Taylor. The home run hit by Brown; Casey Jones' clever work at second; Ardell Taylor sprinting to first base; and the impulse. The Cuviers are good fast team, but must book white teams if they want crowds. The business partner of Will Love, our favorite bonfire at Michaelson's, took his first look at racing autos at Sharonville, where there were many colored citizens seen there. It is rumored the Pekin theatre will be having theville back to assist the picture against gag. The Fraternal League turned several companies out to drill at a church play track, the big cake walk at Latonia race track, staged by Will Mason, was won by that clever little tripper, Mary Devine. The colored orchestra that plays the dances at Linton park, is led by Harry Martin. Burlews park was salo crowd-raising. The Lincoln theater has a master hand, it seems, in Spencer Finley, manager. The greatest proof is the crowds talking about the good show and interesting pictures. It is getting to be a habit on Fifth street to make the Lincoln play. The last week's vaudeville bill consisted of Burnett and Bowman, a classy team that I heard commended by Burt McCormick. The audience gave me for him in St. Louis and strong to open the bill." Ross and Jones, old Funny Face Cliff, has found a decent partner and is very good together jokes and deliver them with care that insures against loss; and last but the greatest, the celebrated sweet singing The "Crows," an order that is really secret, organized, protected, cecropian, and recruiting seven hundred members in three weeks.

Billy King Closes His Properous Season—Estelle Harris, Song Shouter, Illumes. Labor Day brought big patronage to all the houses. People were lined up inside the house, and we see Copeland and Payton in their revised dining car act with four dancing girls, and need to be blacked up. Copeland as usual was a wilty talk subject who sang good tenor and danced with the girls, and was funnier than ever and gave much pleasure. The white acts were the most popular, the dancer. Their duet and quartet work was very classy and the soprano was good. Frederick Allen & Co., in inconsistent sketches, was funny, was fair. Norano and Romo, opera singers, were good artists and were draped by black beaded embroidery but she should wear pants. There was a lack of talking the Dog continues Friday nights. A Trip to Sayannah. Billy King made his last trip on the Grand Theatre stage during the last half of last week in "A Trip to Savannah," the now firmly established star, comedian, playwright and actor kept his audiences in constant roars of laughter, and there were no idle moments while he was on the stage and if his retirement is not for some time until next season and King may have to be recalled. Hattie McCormick, in the office and Howard Kelly as the conductor, were nice classy individuals and Leon P. Rooks was a very good wife of King, in cork, who wanted to go to Morrow but could not make the move to go today but he wanted to go to Morrow, was a masterpiece in Billy King's comedy work, which helped Walker to work of his engagement.

The music for the ensembles during the street claims this season to have been the most successful one during his present occupation. With the assistance of the composer, the street has been able to compose numbers for some of the best white companies and to show his merit as a composer. The only rival song to Shelton Brook's "Walking the Dog", entitled "The Dog" (written by the composer about) introduced in the King company by Estella Harris, now looked upon as the greatest rag time shouter of the music industry, is the author of the lyric and Mr. Overstreet is the composer of the song, and Miss Harris has featured his songs to a number of the musical numbers asserts that the interest shown by Mrs. Hattie McIntosh King with her long period of experience in coaching musical numbers has been valuable to his efforts and much appreciated.

MILLER'S MUSICAL COMEDY COMPANY Presenting "Mr. Ragtime," a Refreshing Show of Well Costumed Up-to-date People—Either Bigue Well Worth Seeing—At the Washington Theater. Something good is always expected of the Irwin C. Miller Musical Comedy Company. They are seen at the Washington Theater in various locations where they are giving a brilliant entertainment. This company has been seen in this city for several seasons. It comes back very much improved individually and collectively. Through a hA is a splendid gift that makes it a great spirit that makes it unusually attractive. Mr. Miller has kept his members well together. This shows in their fine costumes in the pasties and for them has been seen in this city. In all respects is his fine managerial hand seen. Everything is in ship-shaped costumes. The costuming of the chorus girls is rich and varied, and judging fro the numerous changes they make are also swift workers in the dressing room. ESTHER BIGEQU Esther Bigeou is the leading feature of the Miller combination. In the past seasons she was considered fine, very well known and her. This season she shows vast improvement. Very few performers of any race doing similar work will excel with her. She is a fine color she could readily pass for one of those exquisite Parisians of the Thespian order. Bigeou has all the graces; delightful in voice pronunciation and in enthusiasm. She has enlarged on her baseball stunt, giving a fine exhibition of her skills. French impersonations and songs are perhaps her best offerings, and these are well worth seeing, since they help the player give her the distinction of the Negro race. This is said advisedly, including the great variety of things Miss Bigeou does. Miss Bigeou dobre is also an exhibition of art. Irwin C. Miller. Mr. Miller is a stage genius. He works hard himself and succeeds in getting his audience to dance, which has taken on his vigor and snap. He is seen in all parts of the show, and is a comedy singing, dancing and so forth. His dances with Miss Bigear are memorable, so distinguished that dance classique would be an appropriate name. His dance numbers were beauties for rhythm and precision —truly the poetry of motion. Gun Butler. Mr. Butler, the comedian, makes gigs. He's a comedian in annapolis theater-goers. His lines were cewled with laughter all through. Like a company, he works with apparent ease.

THE FREEDOM GOSSIP-OF-THE STAGE The Stage and Stage People R OBITUARY. J. Leubrie Hill, Distinguished Star Actor, Playwright, Stage Producer and Illustrous Song Writer, Passes Away in New York City.—Israelish (Nash) Glenn Dies in Chicago. By Sylvester Russell. During the season 1913-14 Hill recovered his health enough to come back to school, which he renamed "My Friend From Kentucky," he captured the world as a composer. Among him was "At the Ball, That's All." Ziegfeld was so impressed with the merit of the song that he bore the name of his song successes were "Rock Me in the Cradle of Love," that the Kind duced pretty Even Robison as a bright Right favorite and she afterwards became his wife. J. Leubrie Hill can be considered a conscientious student to art and music, one who overstudied to the extent of mental reaction and physical distraction. In him a good friend who supplied brains to create talent in others. The actors will especially regret his departure, the public will miss him and his works. Isabel (Nash) Glenn.

This writing finds us in the state of Utah, making our first stand in beautiful Park City, after having spent a week in the city of the Mormons. The boys all enjoyed themselves at the various clubs, cafes and other places of amusements while in Salt Lake. We only know that they regret very much that we did not have the pleasure of exhibiting. It we have meant more and better enjoyment. We can proudly say that we have made a success of the season so far in all places we visited and they inundated us with the excitement in New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada. After leaving this state, Utah we will be southward and Darryl will be southward of health, and well should it be—this mountainous country, with its dry climate, fresh air and plenty of the goods we would make any one of our friends. amazement at his wonderful skill and daring feats. He is really one of the valuable artists of the race that has been the most successful and were it another, probably they would be swelled in the head. Not so with Bill. He is the same modest, unarmed, untimely man, all the time. He has for his only partner, and legal adviser, "Mule Mickey," who takes a few pennies every time he goes out to a bottle of beer or some oats before retiring to his stall. They do a nice talking and wrestling match together, and the armor part displays both time and almost manners and judgment as his master. We regret very much the leaving of Mule Mickey, the former has carefully handled the stage for a number of months and the entire bunch hate to see him leave. Our best wishes go with you and you teach him at 2:24 Burdette street, Omaha, Neb. The bunch was tendered a reception while in Winnemucca, Nev., the center of the Messrs. Harry Davis, J. C.

Everyone enjoyed themselves till the wee sma' hours of morning, send regards to the promoters of the drill. The bunch sends regards to J. C. Miles Co., G. A. Smart Set, Virginia Mills.

HARRY DAVIS, FORMER ATH LEGICIA FIRST BASE Harry Davis, the famous old star of the Athletics and in his time one of the greatest players born in Philadelphia forty-five years ago yesterday. The veteran has many claims to remembrance on one man who ever stole first base. That peculiar incident has puzzled many fans, but it was action days when Dave Fultz, now president of the Baseball Players fraternity, was playing in the game. In the particular context Davis was perched on first and Fultz was on third. Harry stole second and then gave Fultz a chance to race home. The pellet was sent to the catter in time to head off Fultz, who based on his actions but not Davis made second. Captain Harry wanted that run, and he was bound to have the pellet thrown back to first, stealing that bag to the amazement of players and fans. Of course, a big howl went up, and the rules to prohibit a player from running backward if he wanted to have the pellet took another opportunity to try to steal second, and while the throw was made in an endeavor to head him the pellet chased home with the coveted man. Davis commenced his big league career twenty years ago, in 1896, when he was signed by the team having been signed with Providence Pawtucket. New York soon turned him over to Bittsburgh, where he remained until 1898. He played in Westerville, Davis quit the game and went to work for a railway company. When Connie Mack invaded Philadelphia in 1901 he came to the United States to captain him and first baseman of the Athletics. He remained with Connie until 1912, when he had a brief experiment with the Athletics, so soon returned to the Athletics to act in an advisory capacity and as a scout. Mr. Cleve Douglass, trap and street drummer of the J. C. O'Brien Georgia Minstrels, sends best regards to the Brunswick boys, and says he just re- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER celved his $55 Conn drum, and it is leading. Boys follow me. Also Mr. Lee Ray Drayton, another friend, and says boys, I am now on the drum. Our show will close in Savan. December 1. We have some band here. Mr. John Smith has returned from Dana, where he was called on a business trip. Miss Louise Stephen, of Columbus, Ga., is the guest of Mrs. Singleton, at her home, on Monday. Miss Mariel Rodgers of Darien is spending several weeks here, the guest of Mrs. Bloodworth at her home, 2211 W. 10th Street. Mr. Jack Riley spent Sunday in Waycross, Ga. He was called to the bedside of his father, who is reported feeling a little better. Mr. Arkay William, who escaped the gallows by making his exit, was recaptured and resentenced to be hanged the first Friday in October, which will be the day of his death. His attorney has appealed, finding new evidence. The Freeman and find out the news of your city and other cities. Nuff freed. Freeman agent. Short Flights Keep your word. "Hard work" is a misnomer unless one takes his work as a hardship. Four thousand Negroes are employed in the United States Postal service. The "gospel of service" and the dignity of labor" should be taught from every pulpit in the land. If you don't, some one else will—mind that—when you halt at the threshold of opportunity. The esteemed New York Age still remains silent as to its choice for the Negro leadership of New York State. Inadequate support of race journals of the part of the masses keep many of the kind of geniuses out of the business. The Colored American Cigar Company, Chicago, Ill., is handling brands named in honor of "Booker T. Washington," and "Paul Laurence Dunbar." Prof. Charles H. Moore and Albon L. Mackenzie have original successes. National Organizers of the National Negro Business League. They delivered the goods. The Standard, with the name of the veteran M. M. Lewey at the editorial masthead, has appealed at Jackson's headquarters. Leo C. Hammond at the Standard has come back to stay. J. C. Napier in the chair of Washington at the meetings of the National Negro Business League, looks natural; he was the logical heir to the "Wizard's" toga of Commercial leadership. There has been a noticeable dropping off of race-haiting in the national house of representatives since Speaker Champ Clark gave the members that little curtain lecture on the evil of such time-wasting futility. The reports of the proceedings of the Kansas City meeting of the National Negro Business League have gotten out in good shape. The circulation has been worldwide and the influence of such advertising is bound to be felt helpfully by the meetings that are to follow. The twenty-fifth anniversary number of the meetings was a dandy." Editor J. H. Murphy, at 80, is one of the livest wires in the journalistic profession and can show the "boys" a thing or two about keeping up with the times. Let the good work go on. Mrs. Maggie Boyd has become general manager of the Blind Boone Company, which has been named the company, as secreted to John W. Boone, the blind musician and star of the company. Mrs. Boyd is full of business and knows the country like a West. The party is now touring the West. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, New York's watchful leader, has been instrumental in having two colored men, the musician and the secretary, appointed to positions in the office of the register of the City of Chicago. The kind of racial service that counts—that makes for real leadership. "Back to the oven," is the remedy the president of the Chicago Clean Food Club advocates for housewives who are trying to combat the soaring bread prices. This hurts the wives and sisters to bake their own bread as a national revolt against the shop-bought staff of life. Back to the oven" is a timely slogan. Prof. G. H. Brough, of the chair of sociology and economics in the University of Chicago, will present the fact that mulattoes in this country increased from 1,132,660 in 1890 to 2,050,680 in 1910 and the Southern view this situation with alarm. Segregation in all of the general relations of the races is the remedy he suggests. The Dallas Express and Newport (Va.) News Star are carrying weekly news stories from various persons to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. This insures the proper credit to donors and印鉴 that they follow suit in knowledge that their money is going to the right place. The public rightly insists that the saving of real merit be done in the corner. On to Chattanooga! The start for the South's magic city should be made at once. Business leaders should hold sessions throughout the fall, next winter and next spring, to commercial inspiration and gathering cash to help pay the expenses of the deleterious homes at Chattanooga in August. Start now toward getting ready! B. K. Bruce, principal of a thriving grade school in Leavenworth, Kan., according to a news report, is most successful coacher for army and navy examinations in the country. This reputation is said to be due to the hundreds he has trained, only three have failed to pass the rigid tests, which annually baffle all but a disaffected small percentage of the candidates. A writer's pen is his stock in trade. To ask him to write up an affair of particular interest to you—without compensation—is just as important to the company he may be told you a loaf of bread for nothing. The preparation of a readable article, however, is not as important as the strength stationery, typewriter supplies and the collection of the necessary information. Who should pay for all this? The Technical World recently gave an interesting description of a company invented by Harry C. Cansler, of Knoxville, Tenn., and which carried off the third prize in a young man and is a brother of Prof. Charles W. Cansler, principal of the Austin High School, who are being taken to have the chair-desk manufactured and placed on the market. John Crawford, an industrious colored farmer, owning 1,100 acres of rich farmland, fused an offer of $40,000 in cash for his farm. He makes good crops and gets good prices for his products. He buys them in the bank. Needling no cash, and desiring to have something to do, and not wishing to help him to prosper, he did not feel How many men will it take to succeed to the work laid down by Booker Walters to become principal of the Tuskegee Institute, Bishop Walters takes his chair on the Board of Trustees of Howard University, and he is the principal of the reins of the presidency of the National Negro Business League. And this is only the beginning of the division of the business world. Booker Walters used to take care of "single-handed and alone." There will never be another Booker Washington. An enterprising Chicago firm, doing business at 5244 State street, has leaped into fame by naming itself "The Booker Walters House," in recognition of the splendid prima donna soprano, in whose achievements the entire country takes a great place in pianos, sheet music, victrolas, all kinds of musical instruments and devices, cameras and kodakas. With a title that engenders confidence at once and a stock that looks wonderfully inviting, Booker Walters Music Publishing House ought to prove a winner in its battle for business. Horace D. Slatter, the versatile newspaper man, from his health-seeking troubadour, has brought a valuable series of articles to the Baltimore Afro-American, reviewing in graphic style the history of African-American life and the gle for human uplift. The characters so far treated included Emmett J. Scott, the Jesseason, Jason, the M. Townsend, Dr. John, Kenney, Rev A. P. Camphor, and William Pickens. The facts are gleaned from a collection of writings written about, and are therefore accurate and reliable. The title of the book is *The Attractive and Well Chosen*.

IRENE BERENICE HUDLIN'S "Coming Out" Party the Swellest and Prettiest Witnessed in Chicago for Years. "There was a sound of revelry by night, Alcott's cage's best blazed effulgent. "Her beauty and her 'manhood,'" and bright The jamps shone o'er fair women and braxe.men. Myriads of "hearts beat" cheerily; "and when. Music arose with its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes "spoke happiness" to eyes which spoke again. Another went merry as a marriage bell. The slight transposition of the lines above, with apologies to the shade of Byron, makes the picture and furnishes the setting of the scene, to speak in correct "form," of Miss Irene Berenice Hudlin, who, by her birth, was born in the city of Lincoln, of 2360 Vernon avenue, was on the night of August 31st at Ogden Racine avenue, hours, 8 to 10, formally presented to society. Chicago's all and best, implecable in evening raiment, bore a bloom of "good hearts," responded finely to the elfish little lady—a study of her beauty, but who, nevertheless, had dared to halt her paltry and wind her horn before the castle gates of their crowned head, and budding womanhood, than which there is no vision in all this world so a harborage within their careful, and a lift on life's serious journey—just begun: their FRIENDSHIP, LOVE and care, was resurrective spectacle and toddling footsteps tugged at the hearts around and filled a home with glee, was resurrective spectacle chinchingly reminiscent of a girlhood going, passing, almost gone, but one that was always found in the ways of WAYS to those who loved her best and saw her most she had been a quawed she she had reigned, always brought to her the cohesive, always sought the fine view, the clear prospect, intuitively, without coach-ing, she none finer, or bearing within their roaring gaze the glint of a keener eye, none finer, or bearing within their HEIGHTS above, away from the morass, the slough and winding way. But, what's the use? Words are vain, fleeting. Glimpse for a moment— The Recelving Line. The following ladies, other than the debutante and her mother, Mrs. Willie Brenice, and Mrs. John Brenice, column; Miss Irene Berenice Knott of the University of North Carolina of a girlfriend of Mrs. Huddleston, both Irenes had been named; Miss Irene Brenice of the French, Mrs. Dr. George Cleveland Hall. The Toilets. The debutante was attired in a creation of white points de esprit over the body, with a crowned with a custer of curls held in place by a pearl tiara. She stood in the apperance and completing this toilet of simplicity as was the corset of pearls and a corsace of bouquet of wand roses. This of her toilet, modestly simple, but may translate the accuracy and fondness that bewitching and elusive thing, a maiden's joy, pure, unadulterated beauty, the grace of the celestial, seen in dreams, shone in the dainty maiden's face? Some there may be who can. I cannot. This requires the pencil of a master. Mrs. Hudlin, the mother of the debutant, wore a gown of rose pink emerald, and a bodice of pink crepe de chine. Her only ornament was a necklace of jade and a corsage bouquet of Killarney beads, imagined, of what anatomists of the soul have named the "Mother of God," even the winds of heaven kiss the brow of her baby too rough, always a charming personality, winsome, alluring, forgotten night in the lives of her darling and herself, seemed extremely happy, her soul was a thing away, her soul was a thing away, his loosher has told us, that beyond the stars, above the blazing suns, in a zone not built by hands, a throng of kindness, are, on certain occasions, in communication with their own—the GOOD MOTHERS OF EARTH. and blood reality of sweet girl spirituality and sprightliness, a product, to the manor born, of the great and golden west, was at attention, blue and white striped marquise and blue tafetta, ornamented with white chiffon lace and pearl passementerie and blue tafetta, ornamented with white chiffon lace and pearl passementerie and a corsage bouquet of wand roses. Miss Roberts, Chicago's unchallenged favorite, the reigning queen in splendid dress, the city's muso-social life, finished, brilliant, graced a gown of yellow and white pecto-edged silk, trimmed with gold. Mrs. French, suggesting the quietly fascinating dame of the colonial period by her attire and gentle air of Priscilla pumphess, a wore a robe of white marquetry trimmed in chiffon embroidery and Valor. Mrs. Hall, always stately, the grande of cool and equipped social purveyor, fitted neatly and slain in a gown of rose brocade and black net and diamonds. Prof. William Browne, Jr., and his fine party orchestra had strummed when he had filled his last punch order. The clock hands approached the last hour before midnight. On the outside of the room, a lingering up for the run home. And soon the "coming out" party of the season, he became a memory—just a memory. SEEING ANDERSON, IND. (By Siwel.) The editor of The Freeman, William M. Lewis, concluded to see a little of the greater campaign of right seeing. See home first is what we are advised to do, especially by the railroad company. To be poetic, we would like to say that Anderson nestles 'mid hills in the valley, but tiresome high hills, like the truth. The country around is of rolling land, not tiresome high hills, and the son is not at all deserted, but flourishes as a banyan tree, keenly alive to all the good things that prosperous, well connected shops vieing with those of our Washington street, homes competing with those of our Meridian street are some Indiana is not all Indianapolis by any means. Nor need we colored people with our skin color. We only show. One has only to go to such towns if he wishes to fall in love with his race. Of course the rich white people are not so social mind, but who are benevolent and kind appearing, and who do not view you with scorn when passing by. We do not dress and men and women view you with kindly expressions when riding on the street cars, or they do not notice you feel free and whole. They go their own way. We go ours without the ingering looks of race hatred. In fact we do not notice that even the white people had a quiet welcome in their hearts for him. This may have been a fancy due to the abstraction, but it is so frequently exhibited to our race. No. Indianapolis is not the whole color population. It is not the only city and the state and are as hospitable in receiving you as that Kentucky hospitality spoken of years ago. They have no money and their money to the best advantage. There are no dark and dubious spots in Indianapolis. The families are mostly of young people, and who take great pride in their children—no unclaimed children there. There are also dark and dubious people are sometimes referred to. There are also older families who are also dark and dubious people are as their parents, consequently, when grouped together as they were on Labor Day at Glen Echo Grove, then they were in a relationship. Anderson was there. Nearly the whole colored population. Yet not us, we were not spoken. We were spoken. They drank nothing but "pop." There were no quiet excursions to the bushes except by fishing. We were not escaping the parental eye, and they were ground principle. Boys, girls, men and women, young and old, played ball, at games, jumping and quet without a single move of unpleasantness. It was a revelation. Shall it be asked what we would have given our population turned loose in a grove. The editor practically met the population and Glenn Echo Grove, shook hands with the visitor and appreciated the visitor as much as he appreciated them. On the day previous he met the people at church and in the park, he met the people and older ones; ate with them; played the piano and organs and sang with them—a very joyous time. Thomas Curtis, of the M. E. Church, mentioned the former. The barbecue, which was the feature of the grove entertainment, was under the management of Mrs. Susie Prenn, theapolis, and the members of the church. Time and space will not permit a further detail of the delightful visit. Followed by the many persons whom the editor met. It is with great pleasure and due respect that your correspondent takes the liberty to hand herewith, to the colored voters of the Twin Cities, the likeness of Hon. W. F. Burres, senatorial candidate of this 24th district.

TAGGART OPPOSES BILL. Protests Measure Prohibiting Negroes From Military Service. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1—Senator Taggart has voiced his disapproval of the Caraway bill which would prohibit grocers from enlisting in the military. In an effort to counter the war department, Senator Taggart says: "I feel sure that this bill does not interfere with the wishes of the military department. The real occasions that call to my mind the valor and loyalty of the Negro soldiers, and only recently their bravery was displayed in Mexico. I am opposed to this bill." In his reply to Senator Taggart's letter, Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, said: "Those who have served in the history of our country from the armies organized by George Washington in the American revolution down to the present day, know that brave and often brave men have been rendered by colored troops." The department is opposed to the bill. Notice! The Freeman is on sale at C. T. Hermonds' barber shop, 285 Antolne street, Detroit, Mich. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE, BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS.
