Mr. Tom Brown, if your auditors weren't moved to tears when "your greatest joy" came to you in the third room, you would be well aware of the wells of those people had run dry. Yes, Miss Mitchell, you hold us in the palm of your dainty little hand, and jugged with our feelings as they flow. You were so hard to remember that you-"Madame X" was only a play, and you were not aware of the mentions of forgetfulness, and we blubbered. Honestly, we blubbered! Mr. Richard E. Abrams, your portrayal of the hotel's porter was too good to be ignored. Your testimony in court. Great Scott! how you made our hopes sink when you told how she"had killed him." "What did you do?" your heart you did make. And your lines were done so well that you earned the approval and respect of each one of your people in court. And after a struggle with Madame X you were killed, those folks in the front of the house that you applauded. Your portrait of master willman, Mr. Chenault, was powerfully real. A Dining Room Where One Can Enjoy What One Eats - Goldgroben's. Have you ever visited or heard about Goldgraben's magnificent dining room? It is always new and exciting, but because there is no other like it, it is absolutely because it doubles so radically from other dining rooms type. Goldgraben's, though established but three years, has, through its remarkably prepared edibles, come to be the synonym of all that's really good to eat. Goldgraben's musical world recently characterized it as being "a heaven of palatable de- serts, a fascinating succession of melodious soundscapes." This dining palace is situated in the exact center of the town's green space, surrounded by friends and your friends are all more than likely to be found at Goldgraben's home.

This little orchestra has within itself had a powerful lot of popularity, the leading popularity of the dining room. Mr. Frank Bailey, New York City's youngest caterer, who knew and loved the business, the owed diners-out, is the man-in-chief of the dining premises. He is always busy, and both eyes open to your direct comfort and satisfaction. Although Mr. Bailey is never too busy to give his personal attention to any one of his hundreds of diners, the connection at Goldgraben's, he has established a reputation for being popular which would doubtless make an added bonus if he cared to dable in politics.

His arguments for an enlargement of the General Department of Education for North Carolina are well put and conclusively worked out, and will doubtless be favorably recognized. The General Department of Education for North Carolina it may be said in passing, that North Carolina is the only State where the union position as that occupied by Professor Moore, and the Commonwealth should be given the opportunity to liberality when Negro education is up for discussion.

When I see a youth with his pants turned up and his beautiful sock on view. And over one eye perched a little round hat with a ribbon of mauve paint. And the fourteen rings and the seven pins that he got at his dear prep school. Why *strikes* a chord, and I say "Oh, Lord, was I ever that big a fool?" When I see a youth with his gloves turned down and a cigarette stuck in his face, And loud check coat and a horse-shirt and a half-an-inch wide shoe-lace. And a bunch of hair that hides his ears, and a line of senseless drool. Dr. James E. Shepard, president of of the National Training School, Durham, N. C., is renewing his announcements to the school November 21 to 24 a "Conference of Educators," to discuss a wide variety of issues among those charged with the leadership of the race and to bring about a deeper understanding of the needs and challenges of the students. Dr. Shepard gives the list of questions in circulars and special articles sent broadened and extends a corollary to the head of the colleges and secondary schools for the training of Colored people in the United States on the days set for the conference—November 21 to 24. This conference will be attended by the Colored educators of the land. A heart-to-heart exchange of views on the many challenges many situations now fraught with danger to teacher, pupil and patron. Frankness of statement will be highlighted by the contribution of the public funds for Negro education one of the issues announced for discussion to find fault with present methods of administering these philanthropic offerings, but he is desirous that the suburban schools light of experience, with a view of broadening the scope of the benefits and emphasizing the necessity of reach and impact of the apportionments made in the past. The conference will be "forward-looking" and the successes of the country November 21 to 24. Bishop Walters is allowing the other folks to do the worrying. Secrets are apparently out of fashion. Who can keep their own or anyone else's? Ralph Wily Tyler seems to have disappeared from the first page of the current newspapers. This is proving to be a bad year for grafters—political, religious, educational and journalistic. A few of our men manage to serve in $4000 position and leave it without being ruined for life. Some folks are getting so familiar with gasoline that they are calling it "gas"—notwithstanding its altitudinal price. A community is outraged when it is compelled to swallow or follow—a leader in whom the people have no con It does not look as if the Jonessies and the Norrissies are going to get to touch the Baptist Convention. Too bad! Rev. J. W. Mitchell and Ralph W. White, of the Attorney-General's staff, have launched "The West Virginia Forum" at Charleston, W. Va. Silas Robbins, the first Colored lawyer to be admitted to the Nebraska bar, committed suicide by brain poisoning his brain. Doomies over an unsuccessful operation is given as the cause of the tragedy. The "trimmer" is out of style in this virile age. A man to be a man must have the nerve to say what he means. Doomies and gogues sycophants and graffers are linding themselves ruled off the track. Publicity is the fundamental element of reform. An exposed evil stands a chance of being corrected. The honest man is not afraid of the truth. Keep an eye on the fellow who works in the church and thrives upon concealment of facts. It is the future, not the past, that counts. If a man has "gone wrong" under powerful temptation, and desires to be a useful member of society—to "go straight"—he should be given a fair chance. Enlightened sentiment no longer subscribes to the philosophy "once a crook, always a crook." The Pittsburgh Carrier, enlarged and involved in the literary department, has developed into one of the very best papers in the land. In the Carrier, Pittsburgh and its numerous and progressively growing publications—of them—one that has the courage of its convictions on all of the great questions of the day. Colored girls are making good as operatives in the large shirt-waist facade Ridge avenue, Philadelphia. These are opening that count in the economic advancement of the race. Other opportunities follow experiments of kind and success. The south should sit up and take notice. Arthur L. Hayes, of Lyndhurst, N. J., won the prize of $50 offered by the publishers of the New York Times, in a positive to the improvement of that publication for the current year. The award to the reader first pointing to the 1914-15 war of statement in Brown, editor of the Louisville, Ky. News. When the truth comes out one of these days about Adam E. Patterson and his relinquishing his hold on the office of Register of the "measurey, in the fight against sinning." He is neither the first nor the last man to suffer obloquy in silence. Time, the leveler, indicates every fellow that is on the square. The abolition of lynching will help the white people of the South as much as it will help the race against which it is most general practiced. Lynch raises a question of the civilization of the South. The white man is blamed for the miscarriage of the law, for he is in undisputed power of the government. Ever thought of that? and other places throughout the country, as it is essential that the $250,000 paid to the secretary Emma McCormick be raised to the $2,000,000 originally planned for by the trustees. The movement should be pushed with the help of the $20,000 paid in. If every community in which Negroes live should send as large a sum as their means will allow, from the beginning, that would be gathered together in 30 days. A. T. Smith, connected with the Paul Quinn Weekly, Waco, Texas, has been adjudged guilty of criminal libel in a court of Appeal and would be gathered together in the paper following the mobbing of Jesse Washington. His punishment was a sentence of one year in the county jail, a fine of $1,000,000, the lawyer, defended the accused free of charge and made a masterly plea for the release of his client on the ground that he had been wrongly accused by using a clipping from a northern paper and that as simply an employee on the ground that he was not Smith, was really responsible for the appearance of the matter. November 14 will be the first anniversary of the passing of Dr. Booker, a long-time friend and forgten, as many of the schools and churches in the land are already making preparation to hold memorial services that date to 1921. The book "The T. Washington Day," proposed by the press has not yet been set. That a definite day will be finally set will be well supported by the supporters of the movement will take place in the near future. The life and work of the founder of Tuskegee Institute, Dr. Booker, will be attended by youth and his great character and achievements must be kept green in their memory. The Star of Zion, ally editor by Rev. J. Harvey Anderson, calls attention to the need to attend the North Carolina Conservation Dinner, given this month at the State University. The star of the born. Guests of honor were Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War; Hon. John H. Small, and Hon. W. L. Potetate, the late president of the history of North Carolina that a Negro editor has been invited to a state convention. The book indicates there must be "some class" to the new editor of the Star of Zion. Bishop Alexander Walters has sufficiently recovered to resume, in part, church work. He is the first Diocesan District Church A. M. Mizon choral. He is now senior bishop, succeeding to the district formerly covered by the New York, New England and certain other territory. Bishop Walters has been in the church for twenty-five years, and is easily the foremost factor in the Zion connection and in the political leadership of the church. Bishop Walters is bishop and his faithful helpmeet, Mrs. Lelia Walters, in the marked improvement that has come to arduous labor. He is the foremost of the beloved prelate for many months yet. The power of the press in the work of racial uplift was touched upon with appropriate words. In 1914, Marianne in his admirable address at Savannah, Ga., before the National Baptist Convention, "Since the contact of the Negro with the white people, the Major, the newspapers furnish a means of telling the white people what the Negro is doing and how it affects the Major. When the newspapers chronicle the achievements of the Negro in education, science, religion, business, the Negro is calculated good. When we are described as a law-abiding, property-owning Negro, we are in a battle of fair-play more than half-won." The Major thanked the newspapers of Savannah for their Negro impartiality, that the white people might see the progress the Colored people have made in the various activities in which they were involved. Frank R. Willis, a Colored poultry producer of Louisville, Ky., won a goodly number of honors at the recent Kentucky Kentucky, where Willis first, second, third, fourth and fifth prizes in various classes, doubling in some instances in hen and cockerel exhibits. He is the Cornish chicken in his section of the country, and at this fair his Cornish cock "Mohawk," was awarded first prize. Poultry breeders of the son of "Mohawk" took second honors. Poultry cultivation is another of the industries in which Cornish breeders, Mr. Willis triumphs could be duplicated by men and women of the race in every section of the land. And that of his meteoric career, held that there is no colorline in the barnyard, and that a Colored man's eggs and poultry will bring just as big a figure in the markets as those raised by a The North Carolina State Baptist Sunday School Convention, one of the largest and most programmatic organizations in South, recently resolved its sessions at its sessions in Oxford, N. C., commending in highest terms the splendid efforts of the students to North at the National Training School, Durham, N. C., to elevate and make moral and useful citizens of the young Colored students. The convention stated at length its belief that the future well-being of the race depends upon having an army of trained teachers, who will spirit of thrift, right-living and consecration to service, and that an institution such as Dr. Shepard is conceived to support the steadily supported by the masses, regardless of denomination. The National Training School stands ready to prepare a man—preparing the man for the work he is best adapted by nature to do. In the death of the Hon. Seth Low, the country loses one of its most useful institutions, the practical rather than showy, he went about the world's work in an earnest, systematic and constructive way, and, in the end of time, he won many honors in educational, business and political life. He was the end of time. He won many honors in educational, business and political life by effective service to humanity. He was a genuine, practical and sincere friend of the Negro people, as his brother, Dr. John H. Kingston, Tuskegee Institute and other enterprises for the uplift of the race. He was a secure endowment holder by the death, Mr. Low was chairman of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute and was the motor behind the establishment of $2,000,000 in a fitting memorial to the life and labors of Dr. Washington H. Low's administration. Columbia College, New York City became a leading modern institution of learning, and hundreds of students there which have made prime factors in the development of their people in parts of the country. He practiced his plains in the world's equation will be hard to fill. ner in the battle for existence, which it faces so bravely and so expectantly.

Our goods have been on the market three years and have met with a success wherever they have been introduced, wherever they have been shipped in every city or town where they are used by giving better and quicker results. Our goods and methods in the scalp are known to be far superior to those in the market today. Our goods are all successful and have little trouble in building up a large trade, as it is a known fact that we teach them more about the care of the scalp than just washing and treating it. We understand the different diseases of the scalp as the doctor does the body. By the customer explaining how their agents work, our agents are able to explain to them WHY their hair acts so and the cause of such actions. When our agents study our clients and are concerning the different diseases and the proper care of them they don't 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 what will grow one person's hair will grow another person's hair in the treating of the scalp. If the scalp receives the proper treatment the hair forces to grow. The main thing is getting the scalp in condition is using the right kind of shampoo. This being neglected by so many people, it softens the hair, cures humor, slight cases of tetter and eczema; it opens up the hair, cures humor, slight scab of all impurities. We give our agents receipts for making tonics for the combing out of the hair, bad cases of hair loss, and someone comes in with such a bad case that our shampoo can not cure up fast. We give our agents extra charges to the customer. These tonics are not sold by agents to customers. Those desiring them to effect a cure when needed. Those who wish to give our goods a trial send $1 for a five assorted shipment. Our desire the agency send for terms. Address all mail to Mme. T. G. Bramlette, 684 N.

GEORGE L. KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX. BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, SEPT. 30, 1916. It was a huge Hughes demonstration. The fault is not always the dances; it is getting to them sometimes. The Congress of Colored men at Washington, D. C. next week. Its deliberations will be watched with interest. To merely assemble in the name of righteousness is for good. Nelson C. Crews, of Kansas City, Mo., was in the city last week, after having filled some speech-making dates throughout the state. Mr. Crews will be remembered for his splendid oratorial ability. For campaign oratory he is one of the best in the country. It is very likely he will be heard here at the rounding up, towards the close of the campaign. He says it is Hughes. Mr. Crews is editor of the "Kansas City Sun." The Hughes demonstration last Saturday was a big success and worthy of that splendid man who is standing for the presidency on the Republican ticket. The town was thoroughly aroused to his coming, and which had been as a march triumph throughout the state, the end of which was the capital city, Indianapolis. Thousands of citizens from all walks of life were in line Saturday evening. The marching routes were thronged with spectators who struggled to get a good view of the parade. The Colored voters gave a good account of themselves. The members of the Lincoln League attracted attention by their neat appearance. They were applauded throughout the line of march. Thousands were unable to get into the vast Tomlinson Hall, where Mr. Hughes was scheduled to speak. The thousands of marchers made no effort to get in since it was packed early in the evening by those who did not care to take a chance of missing the speakers. Hughes stock took a boom, going up many points. Indiana will celebrate her one-hundredth year of existence next week by pageantry and various other ways. Indiana became a member of the Union of States in 1816. Since that time it has made a fine record in all respects, standing with the very first few states in most of its features. Those who have been writing reviews of the past one hundred years of the commonwealth have it that the citizens have not been noted for aggressiveness, but rather for thoroughness making for a conservation which was saving and at the same time making for a substantial respectability. In the things that count most in citizenship Indiana has always been among the first to be reckoned with or consulted. In war the state was foremost. In politics it is ever pivotal and in education it is ever important in literature and educationally marches in the van; yea more, it is of the captainship. Public spirited men and women have always been here, and which feeling has generally pervaded until the remotest citizen feels somewhat of the inspiration, holding it an honor and a privilege to be a citizen of Indiana. Right along in here it may be considered a bit hazardous to speak of the merit of some one not of your own party. But right along here Senator Thomas Taggart stepped out from his party, we may say, long enough to declare his old time allegiance to mankind. In the midst of the campaign he declares for the rights of Negroes to citizenship, not social equality or near social equality, the notions that so terrorize some men, but for the great big rights in common, then he declared for the rights of Negroes to citizenship, very few Negroes had the nerve to make the declaration known, fearing that it would help him in his campaign for his seat in the United States Senate. And yet we are greeting the thought most joyful that Negroes are flying from Southern Civil oppression. It strikes us that we should know our friends in season and of season, and regardless of their politics. In fact, it strikes us that it would be the better thing to welcome support from what we call the opposition. Some say that Mr. Taggart, alone, would not be able to stem the tide at Washington if it set in against us. Well, if it is set in our condition, hope is not. So it is the best way to organize those who declare for us, taking a chance that it is honest, rather than beating it off because of the fear that it is otherwise, thus running the risk of losing the friendship of all of those of an opposing political party. There are many reasons and which are generally known, why Negroes of the South are dissatisfied and restless. There are nearly as many reasons, and which they may not know, why they should try to make the best of it where they are. Clearly conditions are better in a way in the North. Prejudice is also here, but not nearly so narrow and grinding. Industrially, in the North, there are greater restrictions, if not always by prejudice, then owing to circumstances—the lack of funds for successful business competition, and the lack of preparedness. Our race will do well to see the country as a whole, to know its views as a whole. Flying from point to point means nothing if similar or other, no less hard conditions, are to be met wherever we may go. What is gained by way of better civil treatment in the North is lost by restricted opportunities. Living as Southern Negroes do in large communities they could be almost a law unto themselves, practically alone, thus making it possible to do everything known to any community of white persons. The initiative seems to be lacking, the desire being to float into the white "man's civilization" even without swimming effort. The Negroes of America have a splendid opportunity, much better than that of the poor white men who have been slaves in the American world. That we are set aside is our industrial and commercial salvation. In that we are set aside concessions are made to our race, certain lines of employment are given and from which as a basis we can build to any height. We overlook this because of our civil distresses, and they are not to be viewed as light afflictions, but they are general. We can not escape them no matter which way we turn. Dr. Washington had it right when he said, "Let down your buckets where you are." FIGHT IT OUT AT HOME. A well written article by R. T. Jackson, of Birmingham, Ala., appeared in a recent issue of the Birmingham News, which called attention to the exodus of the Negro, discussing it from a Negro viewpoint. He said that the Negroes have in mind the better wages of the North, better school facilities and increased civil regard. He dwells on the poor treatment of Negroes on the street cars, where he says, the conductors are at liberty to do as they please. He also speaks of the readiness to shoot Negroes down by officers and others, and which is considered the slightest offense. However, in viewing Mr. Jackson's article as a whole one will conclude that he has summed up irregularities as they are known here and there, now and then, and that no decidedly sore spot exists at any particular place. It does not mean that the charges are to be dismissed with the wave of the hand, because they are serious—they make the race question. In the same publication is the following by a white gentleman: "I have noticed with much interest the accounts in the Birmingham News recently of the Negro exodus from this city to Birmingham Furniture Dealers' Association. However, I should like to say that the Negroes leaving Birmingham, there are others constantly coming to take their places. And they are, I believe, better workers. During the past week or two there have been many Negroes to move here and they are well behaved. They are good laborers, well behaved have good families. The women of the families will make good cooks and they will serve the servants. I believe that they will provide of more value to the city than the Negroes who have been lured away." It goes without saying the foregoing is very much appreciated. We think other Negroes can do, consequently they can not help, pleased by the hopeful tone. Under the circumstances no more is to be expected. THE CRIMINAL'S FAMILY. Somehow the families of the poor criminals, who have been confined in prisons, have managed to get along during the absence of those on whom they depended for a livelihood. The recent wave of reformation of prisons by the government has brought prominently to view that phase of civil life. It has occurred to the minds of the thoughtful, many of them, that it is the prisoner's family who really pays the penalty and not the prisoner. And this is true, regardless of the fact that the prisoner's victim's family is quite often bruised low. As we see it, those two beasts are at war and as paired, the stubborn fact is that the state punishes weak women and children more than it does the criminal. He is not worried about what he will eat or where he will sleep. We cannot see by what law this must be so—that innocence must pay. Innocence is innocence whether it be the children of poor criminals or of those who are at liberty. The taint of prison life with its followed taint is as much as should be endured. The object of society is to shut up the criminal so that he is no longer a member of it. At least, that should be the object and the only object. It ought not be that the prisoner is self-sustaining any more than the inmates of other asylums are self-sustaining. In the past and now, generally, the object was and is to make money out of the prisoner, making him a slave, when he should be merely kept out of society owing to his danger to it. What he earns ought not be any less his own. The law that object in view, and that to dispose him in his earnings, if they were not given to support his family, and when labor in prison is insufficient the state should make up the deficit, or wholly keep the family if need be. The state has been too wrathful in the past, and as penologists now say through their efforts at changing conditions. There is much to be said concerning the modifications of harsh prison terms. All prisoners are not crooks, not to speak of those who fall through the contrivance of others and those who are falsely accused, and those who it's better that ninety-nine guilty men one should be unjustly punished, as having an inning. The thing will not be so realistic, but the idea is there for the guidance of men. Regardless of the guilt of the prisoners, the families are in no manner involved. It is criminal to throw them out on the world, to make the hard rounds of charity-seeking. We would wipe out the redlight district, but many a woman has taken vengeance on society, as she views it, by resolving to be no more than society dictates for her by its conduct toward her. Some of these are the children of prisoners, and who are not only tainted, but taunted and starred. And they, their destruction religiously knowing, will not what awaits them. Such a condition at least, should not be invited. Enforced poverty does not always make for virtue. The theory that the state can do no wrong has long held the people in awe. And it is good to have a wholesome fear of the law. But states can do wrong. They are men, and who are not infallible. The wisdom of yesterday is the folly of today, and so on, proving that it does not matter what the principles of governments at once and for all time. Prison rules have changed; they have not not changed enough. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. THE LABOR EXODUS. (In The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.) Police officers, county or city, all over the state, all over the south, should be jail the labor agents now operating everywhere about us to take the best advantage of the labor agents widening labor breach there. This invasion of the south for Negroes isn't just a temporary raiding of our labor force, but a long-term out and skillfully executed plan rife the entire south of its well-behaved population at a high premium in the United States just now, a premium that will increase rather than be withdrawn. We live in west every year absorb uncounted thousands of strong, industrious males into their lives, many, many years, for generations, in fact, they have been getting their supply from the steam stream that has been used to feed their eyes, hopeful and friendly, to win fortune, liberty and independence in the coming through Ellis Island any more. They're killing them in Europe too fast the two thousand englishmen with over two years of this steady supply cut off the only available labor market on the continent has been turned to—the Negroes There are those who say they'll come back quickly enough. But that isn't true. Ellis island will not clear labor shortages in the fast full generation, possibly two. England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Balkans, even Russia, will allow workers to fill the void of this war they will be forced to put up the bars and forbid labor of any sort to the workers across the seas. So year after year the labor markets of the continent will call for men, and year after year the south will call for women, and ideally fitted labor supply to meet the need of the hour in other parts. We must have the Negro in the south, populated by the centuries of living in it, to work contentedly, effectively and healthily during the long summers of semi-tropical and tropical countries. He has been called the best industrial, commercial and agricultural structure has been built on a black foundation, and is the best we possibly could have—if we lose it, we go bankrupt. The above clipping was sent to this office, accompanied with the following letter: To The Freeman. "The enclosed clipping shows that the Negro is still leaving the south, and gives some of the reasons there- "Conditions are much worse than given in the clipping and the chief reason of thirst among the useless are furnished the race especially in the rural district where people are furnished the race especially in the rural district where people are qualified to vote, even under the Negro-discriminating constitutions, are not permitted to serve and vote. Until these conditions continue to grow more restless and we continue to grow more restless and we continue to his condition along the lines mentioned and who can blame him? though he is fitted to conditions here and loves the south as well as the north, conditions which make it necessary for him to migrate. Many Negroes who have finished and who are other qualified are not allowed to register." The whole business stands as a very hard nut to crack. Not long since Dr. Morton, of Tuskegee, at Savannah, Ga., before the convention of Baptists advised that the Negroes stay South and work out their salvation, He, of course, is but one individual just as the writer of the note is one individual, and consequently they are paired in this instance. The same may be true of thousands of others dividing in their views, beliefs, opinions as to which is the better thing to do. We feel to take stock in the Dr. Morton theory, and for the reasons he gives and more. One additional reason is that the tendency when coming North is to reproduce the situations that are left at home. This admission is not like, we will admit, but the time has come for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When we say that the tendency is to reproduce a similar situation we have in mind civil restrictions. The specific thing of prohibiting voting may not be a danger, and we are sure that school facilities are better in the North, but in other respects the individual of the exodus will not find it a civil Eden, or the Promised Land, except that it is not possible, that the individual of the exodus will find himself confined to the smaller industrial ways of the North. It extends no hand of welcome to the trades where Negroes can earn money as white men—"common" Negroes as "common" white men. His Eldorado will be one of small occupations, mostly those that white men care little about. We, in the main, are day laborers, porters, waiters and hold other situations of the strict domestic variety. There is but small chance for successful farming. The dream of forty acres and a mule has long since gone. Farm land is too high for ordinary purses. The modern farmer of the North is ultra scientific: he comes from great schools; he knows the soil and the theo-理 of rotation of the soil. He is learned in that which Tuskegee is teaching and with the hopes of making the Negroes of the South see. What can a poor Negro do against modern machinery, motors and the like that are so rapidly becoming a part of farming? Thus he is cut off from an avenue of occupation which he knew at home. Then the stores, shops and manufacturing concerns offer but the smallest inducement either by way of proprietorship or employment in them, consequently those quicker and easier routes to livelihood are shut off, and which is different at home, where some good results, owing to the possibilities, even if the social relationship is intense in its wide- ness. Stores, shops, manufacturing concerns and farms are the means of employing thousands, and in capacities scarcely dreamed of in the North. In fact, the lack of school facilities, when there is such lack, is a most objectionable feature of the South However, determined citizens need not permit such a condition to worry them. For where there is plenty work there are plenty means. The fact that money does not flow from the capital to the labor force does not mean that it is not in reach. Where there is a will there is a way. The question is, Are conditions improving? And yet another one, is there the same desire for education that we felt years ago? The political situation alone is stubborn. To be counted out of the electorate is dangerous since it may become a fixed custom. Being fixed in one instance as regards citizenship, the thing would grow, becoming a custom in general, and which would be a way away in the South, but would spread until the whole country would refuse to see Negroes anything but serfs—voiceless creatures whose safety was at the mercy of some one else. As it is we think it wisdom for the Negroes of the South to stick to the job where they are, battling it out for the essentials of citizenship, remembering at all times that they will battle whether North or South, if they would exist. The North also has its disadvantages. Set this down, that money is the leading wedge in these days. The moralist, theoretical philosopher say may, they have a utopia or a hectic world or case, we need money and genteel manners, they are the twin forces of our campaign for larger citizenship. We are prodigal too often with our money, building nothing, accomplishing nothing to be compared with our chances and necessity. We mean business concerns for the employment of our kind. THE PASSING SHOW IN WASH INGTON. (By R. W. Thompson.) "Within the Law" Caps the Climax at the Howard. Teaching economies through finely sketched characters and delving philological with the follies, fobiles and heart throbs of the court and dramatic jewel, "Within the Law," was presented last week at the Howard by the Quality Amusement Corporation, been long awaited and, like the Roman Empire came, it saw, it can invent." Packed houses greeted the performances night after applause was frequent and vociferous. The drama shows how innocence may be unjustly punished and how the misuse of the procedure may make men and women vulnerable to abuse going through a life that might have useful nursing a grievance against the abuse, and poses the bigotry of a certain class of police officers, who feel that persons under suspicion must be convicted at trial. The case shows that the rights that the minions of the law are bound to respect. It points out the difficulty one encounters from the houndings of the police, who have once "done time," yet wish to "go straight" after leaving the "pen" and have been called upon to refer references to the evil that can keep away with, if the perpetrator manages to keep "within the law," furnish a "pen" and "do not" to the moral "obedience to authority," is set forth strongly in the final analysis, when all, agree that "you cannot knit" the players. The story is more consistent, the knitty knit and the moral is more forcibly impressed than in any other of the Broadway successes offered to our audition, more consistent, better than we have seen up to this time, the company being admirably baffled at the opportunities that all had a chance to exploit. Washington is learning that applause and appreciation is the breath of life at the Sunday night each of the favorites—and the cast—received a vodiferous "hand" when they performed for three weeks. As Murray brilliant of storm of applause greeted Mrs. Charles H. Anderson as she appeared, after an afternoon of weeks, Ms. Murray became the artist achieved the triumph of her career. She closes three acts with a "big touch, climaxing with a masterly "speech" of passion and added calls gale. Ovations were also ten adored. Kirkpatrick, Miss Cleo Desmond the best of Charles Moore and Charles Olden. Each of these gifted performers have roles new laurels to their breast and an added solentious and painstaking manner in which they enacted the various parts of the story. Camatheme, Miss Mattie, Wilkes and Orma Crosby Bauquet contribute heavier story and round out a cast that has not been excelled anywhere. "Close-Up" Views of Plays and Players "Close-Up" Views of Plays and Players Sidney Kirkpatrick, though slightly older, is known for his glory as "Inspector Burke" in "Within he law," and so effectively put over the atmosphere of the New York police headquarters, where he performer easily overcame the natural aversion to the drastic methods of the police officer, and finally the ample sample of physical manhood—virile, clean-cut and convincing—and fairly central figure of the great story, which a woman's play. Mr. Kirkpatrick another of the long list of Hoosiers who easily stands at the head of his class and is a cornerstone in the promising management is building up through the talents of colored artists. Salem Tutt Whitney's "Smart Set," of which many good things are being said inadelphia, and New York city, underlined for the fall of October 2 at the Howard, "How Newtown Prepared," the new offering heights in music, comedy and melodramatic thrills than anything the Whitney-Tutt-Thompson aggregation has been known for, books for a record breaking attendance. Tom Brown, Miss Abbie Mitchell, Walker Thompson, Lawrence Chenault, Babe Tennsend, Miss Iris Hall, Miss Laura Bowman, Henry Williams, Miss bit of their lives this week at the How- ard in Brisson's thriller, "Madame X." Packed houses nightly is the rule, and the matries are increasing steadily in attendance. Lawrence Chenault, the idol of the ladies hereabouts, got the biggest "revenge" on his unit. Trance Monday night as "Larque" in "Madame X." He literally "stopped the show." "No vaudeville for Saturday night at the Howard." That's what the performers must do, more mor than the Broadway Players would vary the dramatic wave by putting over some singing and dancing stunts at the close of each week. The Bishop - Clough - Cook - Mores-Pryor-Freeman group of the Broadway show more this week in "At Bay." Under the tutelage of A. C. Winn, the company is rehearsing "The Lure" for early presentation on the circuit. The Anderson-Desmond-Wilkes-Kirkpatrick-Moore group "lays off" in New York for the family Cupboard, another of those melodramas "with a thrill for every minute." --- The "segregation" foolishness in Baltimore has been knocked into a new realm, and it is not likely that the Colonial Theater will have any further trouble with the kickers on Eutaw street. The theater has been compelled the other theaters to reduce prices and allow colored patrons to enter the balconies, in order to hold any portion of the colored trade. Mrs. Clarence E. Muse, accompanied by her husband, down from New York to spend a week or so with her husband, who is a stellar light with the Broadway Players. More importantly, Mrs. Muse is a charming young matron and is one of the best leading ladies in the profession, handling a large number of theatrical productions her five months' engagement in the Lincoln Stock Company, New York city. There is an insistent demand upon the part of the play-loving people of the capital for the return of that designation to the east of the Quality Amusement Company. Her work in "Under Cover," "Kick In." "Fine Feathers" and "Toyama has accepted," she says, in a line of calling for youth beauty and graciousness, Miss George is a tower of strength to the Levy aggregation of high-class players is a favorite here, on and off the stage, her return will be warmly welcomed. --- The Griffin sisters are resisting all overtures to them go into the draw, and they stick to their valuables and musical comedy work, in which they are top-notchers and can draw big everywhere they are playing Alexandria and other points in the vicinity. By general request they appear to be in Hall, and their lively revue was followed by an enjoyable promenade. Miss Emma Griffin is written as dramatic "fever," and the relation of the Negro performers to it. She has some original ideas on the subject, and the native up to take and notice. As the "Princess Therese of Arragon" in "The Ghost Breakers," "Mrs. Shotto" in "The Sign of the Four," and "Allegra Graham" in "The Ghost Breakers," one of the very best leading ladies on the roster of the Quality Amusement Company, has had a line of characters admirably suited to her role. She has more than duplicated her first big success here as "Kate Fallon" in "The Deep Purple." Miss Coughs's pure English, painstaking communication and personality into the part are a few of the many items that commend her work to public favor. She is modest and unassuming in her work, without concern as to fame through the so-called "press agent." Mrs. Charles H. Anderson, styled by her admirers as "the new Mary Anderson," was a revelation and working girl, in "Within the Law" Competent critics pronounce her portrait of the part as stronger than the role on Broadway. In her special field, intense emotionalism, Mrs. Anderson has no peer in the realm of stagecraft, but as student of stagecraft, and in the various plays knows not only her own lines and "business," but is familiar with the other characters—thus getting a thorough grasp of the story and her relation to the world. She has another great part in "The Family Cupboard." Clarence E. Muse is one of the keenest of the artists that appear here and in the goods, as she certainly did as "Detective Sergeant Cassidy" in "Within the Law," and Bright Thompson in the role, did not suffer by comparison. He injected his own impressive personality in stellar proportions. His pantomime in the fourth act, while undergoing a mental "third degree" in his art of speaking by motion. His self-abnegation at the parting brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. Mrs. Oma Cronby Baquet, the talented character interpreter, who is providing direction to Baquet Players, is a native of Indiana, which has sent more theatrical stars to the front than any other state in the country. She is known to the vaudeville world from the Atlantic to the Pacific. She was married not long ago to a Mr. Baquet. She is also well known man and also well known to the stage. Mrs. Baquet has made a host of friends here, and each part she assumes seems better than those which have preceded ... Points of Interest in "Within the Law" Arthur Ruff's marvelous versatility is again shown in his dignified "Vandyked" District Attorney Demorest. This character, though directly opposite in type, will rank with his "dope flend" in "Big Jim Garrity." There seems to be no character Ruff's Ruff's range as a character alleger. --- A. B. DeComathere is a master of the art of "making up." His picture-resque make-up as "English Eddie" is the last word in painting the monochromatic face of a boy's accent and mannerisms Mr. DeComatiere's conception of the part could not have been improved upon. He doubled it as a door officer at police headquarters. . . . GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THE ATRE PHILADELPHIA (By J. H. Gray.) After a summer of the silent drama after the death of the thing rejuvenating and revivifying when you come back home in the sound of the drums of the 'merry merry WOODEN'S BON-TONS. (By L. Walton.) NOTES OF SILAS GREEN CO. Well, we are still in Mississippi, playing to large crowds, and the way people turned out, why, it seemed as if we were coming to Jackson, but we are not, for there are several others, such as the Kentucky Miners, the Wooden's and the Wooden's Bons Tons, and in spite of all we are turning them away nightly. Well, we certainly do know what to do, and the Bon Tons showed Jackson, Miss, one week, as they stated, to 10 cents, and they were the talk of Wm.

Remember, we charge 35 cents general admission and about 25 cents for Jackson didn't even say a word about the prices which they paid to see the show, and we don't expect to hear them say is, we don't expect to a real show for the small sum of 10 cents. After they had waited 25 minutes, and when the show was busy shaking hands for about twenty minutes with their many friends of Jackson, we praise this show to be that, and praise that has ever come to their town. The Bunch Was Serenaded. While most of the performers and musicians had retired, they were awakened about 1:30 a. m. by three serenaders outside on a nearby platform, and two others outside all of the very latest songs. After several pieces were played Prof. Wildoams got up and went out and suited himself to taste the very most music by passing around the box, the cigars and some change.

This week's bill is a hummer. The Great Lattif, the Hinckley, the Skunktown and Davis, in a vaudeville sketch, won big favor. Mamie Payne, knocks off their secrecy, Mack and Mack in a clean, light act was a riot. Funny Doe Doe Doe, who brings up his own team night, still scream in Skunktown Bowser, stage manages and produces one of his own comedy acts that is a laugh from the time at the close of the act, entitled "Skunktown and Doe Doe Doe as Two Muttins in bill and, believe me, they brought us some act.

Ten Dark Knights at the Grand-Clifford and Willy a Tennant Act It will take only a few words to dispose of the good news that the Grand opened with one of the best artists in some time. Henderson Smith's "Ten Dark Knights," which closed the bill, gave good music and comedy entertainers, and planted a scene, which revealed splendid scenery. Brooks and Hicks was a singer of Jane Brooks, whose song was an eye-penator. The white acts were Clifford and Wills, in "Jasper Junction," a country station in Clifford, Ohio, which was a very charming character actor, made a hit in his dope scene and graphophone mimicry. Miss Sunderland was well trained and introduced herself in which close scene invisible, handsome set in scenery, and the rest of her act qualification were graphic and Sunderland were more classy and good artists as performers. Harry Sterling, a good guitarist, played a re The last half of last week had Irvin C. Miller's "Song Shop," with a band called Out Out Out, out in a song shop. Gus Butler, a clever comedian who made a hit, released the comedy album Day had the "Rosary" duet was a musical act, but the "Rosary" duet was DeForgie, who were clever in song specialties, but hardly needed a piano.

Rosa Bound Johnson, his fingers badly damaged in the door taxi two weeks ago, is now quite recovered from his injury. Bishop C. L. Choppin was with him at the time. Dorothy Dix, the special newspaper correspondent, says that the word marriage is not a marriage rate. The word "obey" relates principally to the moral code, Miss Dix, if you please, so you are wrong. We thank you. Misses Emma Elliott and Mary Walker entertained the Golden Leaf social club in elaborate style at a private club, the Mecca flats last Thursday evening.

Billy Caldwell, the oldest actor now living who is in service, has been slightly indisposed of late. On hearing Tuttle and I call on Mr. Caldwell to concur and confer on the famous actor's history. I regret that the New Yorker has not known his history, and I see that Lester Walton seems to be out of commission. The Chateau Cafe has been very successful under the management of new proprietor Sasha Sankov and her husband, Kirkill. The soloists are Greenbury Holmes, Ray Nichol Smith and Annabelle Cook. The musicians are the ballet dancers of Eddie Hutchinson, xylophone and traps. Arthur Grant and James Nichol are the ballet dancers and meals are served by Rafa Kostnik.

Child of crosses, after learning, Mother gone and for her yearning, She had taken flight to heaven. THE MUSICAL MILLER'S STOCK Company of Washington, D. C., at the Washington Theater, Indianapolis-A Company of Good Performers. The Musical Millers Company is made up mainly of the Miller family and their children. This is perhaps the most unique combination on the road. When in Washington, the father, Jas. E. Miller, is known in musical circles for his love of music. He is a regular graduate. While the company gives a variety of performance, its feature is music in motion. The Millers are also good performers. This is especially true of Miss Elise, sixteen years old, who is a little wonder. Her mother, Sally, sees. She sings nicely. But when she hits those organ chimes, doing the sexette from Lucia and other high-class musicians, she assisted at the chimes by her brother. James E. Miller, Jr. She also plays the banjorine. Herbert Benson is a young man of fine parts, versatility as the other members parts. His straight is also good. He has a splendid silver-toned singing he shows, to good advantage in his renditions of Luck, God Bless You." He was recalled. His blues singing will be hard to forget. He is the team of Benson and Miller of Pittsburgh. Willie Miller is full of fun as a dancer, a comedian and a trombonist. He does good team work with Benson. He is a good comedian, Felix Miller, Willie Miller and Charles Davis are all comedians. The Miller's respects, he has the best of the performances. Davis, the regular comedian of the show, fills the bill. He is a good one of the members, performing his jokes are new, but all of them are told in a good, taking style. Davis, Miss Rodwell King and Benson, the friend, one of the big hits of the show, and where they appear at their best. The burglary skit gives opportunity for some good work, the most of which is by the young members, the Miller's taking the leading parts. Much of the work is done like that of old-timers. Others of the company are Mamie Bass and Allie McLemore. The company is James E. Miller, cornet; Mrs. James E. Miller, guitar, bass; Ellie Miller, banjoine, organ chimes; James E. Miller, bass; Ellie Miller, banjoine; Willie Miller, banjo; trombone; Baby Felix Miller, bells, traps and mute. The Miller have their own band, which gives a concert each evening before the show, and with a chorus of three movement—pretty and pleasing. The first part is full of gunplay and tough to suit all who like rough-houses. Much evidence in the show of the company is Miller and Benson are very promising. The show was well received from beginning to end—a positive winner. The company is the appearance of the Miller in Indianapolis. JAMES AND STOVALL COMPANY At the Washington Theater, Indian- ian Banks Creek, Presenting Two Successful Bills The James and Stovall Musical Comedy Company presented two successful last week, changing Thursday evening. The bill for the last half of the week was the most many think, than that of the first half. The teamwork of James and Johnson was one of the features of the bill. He has one of the finest voices heard among colored performers, and he has one of the finest voices heard in a new, well told and good. Miss Johnson held up her end nicely as a pleaable singer, a singer. Her blues singing and moody music make a hit. The team is a No. 1 good one. She deserves a great praise for his comedianism. He got the idea, being funny every moment. In the prince skit he showed the audience how to clean, clean, clean, depending on his sense on humor to please rather than suggestive. Stovall is one of the best in the business. DeLyons was at himself as the old man in the skit, playing the part in a song, such as is seen in the best shows. Billy Ewing was foremost in the billy Ewing voices. The numbers were most pleasingly rendered, keeping up the record of finely rendered songs and harmony. All of the members were seen in the skit, all appearing to advantage, and all coming out. The closing number was a rouser. The music was as full, rich and deep together with musical festivals, which, together with the music, made up, made for one of the best finales seen at this theater. This show is one of the instructions before the theatering public.

(By Al Wells.) The week of September 18 we opened in Greensboro, N. C., and stopped sell-out tickets to the city. In less than a week how business was rest of the week, as the big show advertises the rest of the week by Monday. The city of Greensboro is a very good show city. The people turn out in large numbers, but the white people are less likely to show up. Colored people of the city having any enjoyment, and the Colored people seem to be afraid to ask for anything or to do anything. People do to them. I saw an article in the Greensboro News a few days ago saying that this was a white man's city and that Negroes would have to accept just what the people let them have. And that Negroes would have to get a license for a Colored theater. He was willing that the first three months' profits should go to the city and that Negroes would have to build the foundation the white people decided the Negroes didn't need any theater, but with the assistance of the city, they could rights it could be had. They seem to be afraid to open their mouths, and they say nothing. The big show is headed south now and cleaning up as we go. Daisy Martin says for Dick Thomas to please write as soon as possible; very important. Regards to Attorney Mrs. Carla Day, Mrs. Carla Day, Mr. Bronston also.

Mucks recently won easily the sixteen pound shot putting event at the A. A. U. championships in Newark with 47 feet $2\frac{1}{4}$ inches. Alma Richards was second with 43 feet 11 inches. He also captured the discus throw from Emil Muller of the N. Y. A. C. by a heave of 145 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches. The experts predict in another year or so he will establish some world's records in these two branches of athletics. Mucks, who is a giant of six feet three and a half inches and who scales in the neighborhood of 200 pounds, began his athletic career in 1900, when he tipped the beam at a trifle more than 200 pounds. In the Stockholm Olympics he was an also ran in the various weight events in which he participated, but since that time he has been "coming" like a house afire, to the end that he is the tip to beat any shot and discus thrower in the United States. Photo shows Mucks putting the shot at the A. A. U. championships at Newark recently. NEW MASS PLAY LEGALIZED, MAY BE GENERALLY ADOPTED NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—The mass play devised by George Foster Sanford, the Rutgers college coach, may be adopted by eleven of other colleges as part of the announcement that the new city play has been legalized. The announcement also states that the play consisted of three of the four backs immediately behind three adjoining players on the forward line. It was used effectively by the Rutgers eleven and proved formidable when a little ground was needed to retain the ball or when the team was near the enemy's goal, but in one instance last season it was not. Mr. Sanford submitted the question of its legality to the rules committee in meeting here Saturday night, and obtained decision that the play was allowed. He deserved as much play in football; a hammeralty kept in mind as much smashing play that allows a man on one side to injure a member of an opposing eleven. Photo by American Press Association.

All-Nations Pound Johnson's Delivery for Enough Runs in Two Innings to Give Them Double Header. Taking advantage of Pitcher Johnson's wildness and ineffectiveness, the All-Nation baseball team last Sunday two games from Taylor's A. B. C's at Federal Park. The scores were to 9 and 5 to 1. The visitors made a splendid start in each game, scoring six runs in the opening inning of the first game and four in the second innings. Two hits, three bases on balls, one batsman and an error resulted in six runs for the All-Nations in the first inning, whose speed is said to be as great as Walter Johnson's, made a fine start, out打出 the ball, and players out hit them. But that, however, was not so effective and the locals outhit the visitors. Ten of Taylor's men Hit Hard in Second. The All-Nations were blanked in the first round of the second game by the Bulgaria, gave the visitors a four-run lead in the second inning. Jeffries, who returned on the second, returned good ball. Taylor's men did not get to Weidel, who was in for the first half, until the sixth, when they scored two runs. Weidel fanned seven bat- Play Great Fielding Game. Each team fielded sensationally in each game. Shively and J. Taylor, did well in work for Taylor, while Kramer, Kramer Blanker and Mendez featured for the All-Nations and DeMoss led with the bat for the locals. FIRST GAME. A. B. C. AB. H. O. A. E.

Baker was completely out of form at third and was then suffered by the hard hitting of the Elmores and no support. This is the second defeat by this team, though it was never a great loss. This time much is to be given Brown, Lewis, Dago and Bubbles for their efforts to pull the team back in and up the hole left by Ardell Taylor at first base by his visit to Indianapolis. The Elmores were so strong that the team was not as form perfect. Meyers and she did some awful work: Schraff at second was faintly until spiked on the fingers by Baker.

"Progress and Achievements of the Colored People," is a 434-page, large size, volume, the contents of which is told in the title. It is encyclopedic and more. It brings down to date the notable achievements of Negro men and women, thus making it a ready reference book, and especially for writers and speakers. The volume contains many groups of well made likenesses of individuals in various capacities, and what has been done, making it clear that opportunity is not wanting to repeat the success of our own authors, with what are devoted to great lessons, teaching much that is practical, and which is also necessary by way of information, Author, Joseph R. B. published Austin Jenkins Co. Washington, D. C. "The Fledgling Bard and the Poetry Society." The above named volume by George Reginald Margetson is of surprising worth and is a delight to read of the "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers" by Lord Byron by the style and by many of the themes, in which he mains a ruminating one of Juvenal. The work is strictly original, nevertheless, since it deals in present day happenings including the death of William Wordsworth and Billy Sunday. The poem is continuous through the volume, but with many happy diversions, marking it delightfully. The work is supplemented by the thoughtful readers for his ready wit, wide information and splendid judgment. And above all the work is done in verse, and what belongs strictly to the realm of literature. Published by Richard G. Badger, Boston. Report of Prof. Chas. H. Moore. The report of Prof. Chas. H. Moore, state inspector of Negro schools of North Carolina is an interest school of the University. The work has to do with the Rural School Extension Department of the teachers' association of that state. Speaking of irregularities, the most serious irregularity which I discovered was where thousands of dollars were being sent to the special channel; that is to say, instead of being used for the benefit of the Colored children, whose presenterty had been beneficial to local districts taxes for school purposes, this money had been spent in helping to build school houses, supplying more teachers, or increasing the school term The author gives an array of figures which go to prove the poor school faction is the most powerful in the fact that 29 millions of dollars in wealth are possessed by the race in the thirty-seven states, and where he has supervision. The volume quotes Prof. N. C. Newbold, state agent for Colored rural schools, "It is just that a brief discussion of rural school conditions among the Negroes should not only stating over again facts that are already more or less well known to all well informed people, but Negro rural schoolhouse is really a disgrace to an independent, civilized people. To one who does not know it, though mute, would tell in unmistaken terms of a story of injustice, inhumanity, and punishment to people. Such a concession would appear to be to an observer uninformed of our past as intolerable, indefensible, unbusinesslike, and cruel." "When we come to look the matter squarely in the face, as we often do among them prejudice and neglect, have entered into the count, and have not been able to find the hard, hard simple justice by the Negro. In the main the best, most tolerant minded, far-seeking among us, has a liability rather than an asset. Many have gone on the theory that the poor should be the better, it would be for society and the state." "The Teacher." "The Teacher," the publication by the National Baptist Publishing Association, offers international lessons, treating them from every viewpoint, giving practically a logical constructive approach. The authors of authorities are consulted and their comments are generous yadded. In fact there are many more publications that are given in these monthly publications. They show great research, and the matter is on track to be in charge. Published at Nashville, Teen. The Half Century Magazine." This publication is very up-to-date appearing, especially the cover which is so colorful, that it seems chance to assure himself that it is a race publication. The contents are varied, dealing with the best of race, at least, and the most point of view. Some of the subjects: "The Vocal Teacher of 10,000 Negroes," "The National Association of Colored Women," "The National Association of Black Contributed articles are in keeping," "The Black Legion in Texas" has to do with the Eighth Illinois Regiment, George F. Proctor, the "The officers, from Colonel Denison to the officers, from Colonel Denison to the lowest in rank, have proven themselves to be efficient men, capable of leading a force, and of protecting the people and the confidence of the men to develop the proper military discipline. This in itself is a signal trumpet. In all the military drills, the men makes over the soldiers of the southland, the officers have led their men to the apprehension of the regular army officers who inspections. In health sanitation and camp elearning the officers is superseded by the Eighth Illinois. It is needless to say that the teacher of 10,000 Negro voices referred to is Madam R. A. Azala Hacker, a native of New York, appears. The Half-Century Magazine is a Chicago publication. "Poems of Peace and Pleasure." This is a little volume of real poems by John Wesley Fentress, most of which have appeared in Kansas and Oklahoma newspapers and school journals, dealing with many subjects, a few of them having to do with the race. To a Negro, the advice is to bidding him stand up under his tribulations and be a man for a that. The advice is excellent in the most part, but in a few places in Kansas, as faithfully stated as they might be. For instance, in the fourth verse he says: "The strong and upright ever suffer and made to suffer by a baser class." Perhaps, it is not necessary to comment here, since it is plain that the thought is made debatable it is. Poetry, of course, is a mirror, so to speak, of heightened passion, but it is not a mirror of the thought is made plainer by the exaggeration. I ask two questions and permit this to pass. What is the thought we made to suffer by a basser class? The volume as a whole is worthy of perusal; it is important to progress of the race along this line. "The Afro-American Monthly." This publication advertises that it is the only Negro magazine published in the United States. It press of youth, and also vigor. It appears an honest attempt at race betrement. Published under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias at Tampa, Fla. Notice: The Freeman is on sale at Coca-Cola, 285 Antone street, Detroit, Mich. THE FREEMAN.

Fans all over the country have been a bit mystified by the actions of the Phillie star in playing a game of "tossup and catch" all by his lonesome. The reason? Oh, well, if you toss around a lead ball for five or ten minutes and then switch quickly to a regular baseball, the difference in weight is such that the baseball seems little heavier than a tennis globule. And the result is blinding speed. MISS GALLIGAN CHAMPION. New Rochelle Star Greatest of American Women Swimmers. Miss Claire Galligan of the National Women's Life Saving league proved herself the greatest all around fair natator in this country by defeating recently at 220 yards her only dangerous rival, Miss Olga Dorfner of the Philadelphia Turmegelnde. Miss Galligan had previously beaten all comers at distances ranging from 440 yards to four miles. Now that she has reached foremost rank, just one year after breaking into the racing game, especial interest at A taches to the methods which have made possible her meteorite rise, for they are quite novel. The league coaches worked from the first on the theory that if a swimmer masters a correct and suitable stroke speed must come as a natural consequence, and they aimed solely at developing Miss Galligan's style. She has not once had a time trial; she has never been allowed to practice at top speed, and nearly all her training has been done at moderate pace over middle distance courses. Strange as it may seem, this odd system has not only enabled her to smash to pieces every national record from 300 yards upward, but also brought down her 100 yard time by nearly twenty seconds, to within half a second of the American standard for women. There is matter for thought in the success of the New York maid, particularly on the part of contestants and instructors who have the speed craze. SWIMMERS TO TOUR U. S.

Later they will swim at Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities. Football Player a Steward.
