With considerable anxiety the people await President Wilson's next move. The Negroes of this country will find it necessary to work out their destiny by whatsoever means. Because an individual is of a different party they should not hold that as an objection to which they cannot overcome. Senator Thomas Taggart has held the hand of what is considered the opposition. He concedes that for which the race is fighting—a common citizenship. His efforts should be thoroughly appreciated by every Negro in the country. Garrett A. Morgan, Colored, of Cleveland, O., is coming in for much praise for his heroism in the rescue work owing to the recent tunnel horror in that city. Many lives were lost, but the toll would have been greater had it not been for Mr. Morgan and a few assistants who rallied about him. Fortunately he had invented a safety hood to be used in the case of such happenings. The news of Mr. Morgan's heroism has reached the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, a representative of which having already called on him, and who was favorably impressed with his work, suggesting the presence of a guard and a malfunction of equipment and a malfunction. So in various ways our race is becoming entwined in the affairs of the country; it is found doing good as others are doing good, thus clearly establishing a right of existence through merit and value. An automobile in the parade on Friday of last week we think, passed without much comment. It was in somber colors and plain furnishings. The occupants were notably plain. The women wore those old-fashioned poke bonnets, void of all gayety. Their other clothing was in dark colors. The men wore medium tall black hats. They were in drab colors or something similar. It was easy to see that they stood for Quakers. The label read: "Fountain County, terminal of the underground railroad." It all appeared so insignificant. Doubtless it appealed to but very few people. The thousands of children had no conception of what it meant, excepting, perhaps, the older ones who know that history. It was where we were. No Negroes, came in, in that memorable parade. That county was the end of the line, the department receiving runaway slave rafters. The South. And as if by coercion it was given those weak, innocent-looking people to play one of the fiercest parts in the history of slavery in America. And they played it without fear or alarm holding it an abomination that man should be seriously subjected to man. And we were not forgotten in that glorious assembly. It was a lesson in hope and inspiration. In the language of Mr. Ingersoll, the past arose before us like a dream. That sweet, mild mannered sect seems to be withdrawing from the activities of men in these days. And to be romantic, yea, dramatic. It may be that they have played their part as planned from the beginning, and having no further mission are dropping out of the world's cast—and with lingering adieu. "Tis sweet to be remembered," somebody said. IS HE SINCERE? The Fraternal Informer of Philadelphia rises to ask is Charles Evans Hughes sincere? We cannot see why he should be thus questioned. At Nashville, Tennessee, he said when addressing Colored men: "You ask no special privilege because you are Colored men, and by the same token there shall be no discrimination against you because you are Colored men." The Informer does not think Mr. Hughes has said enough. What more could he have said? If Mr. Hughes lives up to the content of that simple statement, no more could justly be expected of him. That publication in commenting on what he said had this: "Now, from time immemorial, when the candidate for the President has been asked to question the question of Negro suffrage and treatment of the Colored man in the Southland as to lynching, the proposers have met with evasive replies," and the Negro has been left in the cold, cooling his heels running from his oppressors." We are not willing to burden Mr. Hughes or any other candidate with the responsibility of lynchings. It is a very elusive evil, consequently difficult to deal with because it is elusive and because it is no more or less than other crimes of murder, whether done singly or collectively, and because when a Colored person is lynched it is usually held to be a part of the race question, a thing which no man holds brief as to settlement. We wish Mr. Hughes to follow in the line of his Republican predecessors in event of his election. It is true some of the platforms of the party of former days had something to say on such disorders, also some of the addresses to Congress. They were followed with no effect, succeeding merely in divorcing many white Republicans who became convinced that serious phases of the party questioned or outdid outside of party lines. A special plea for Negroes became irritable not alone to white men but to thoughtful Negroes who began to see the necessity of proceeding the long, but sure way, of reaching the affections of the people. When Mr. Hughes assures us that he will stand for the essentials of citizenship, one of which is in opposition to segregation, he has gone his limit. Thoughtful Negroes know the extent of the executive's ability in such matters, consequently it is unfair to hold him to some ideal which would permit light of a fire or a demagogue if he Mr. Wilson promised, but did not perform. He permitted a violent interruption of the commonality of citizenship right under his nose and which he could have saved by merely raising his hands. We do not expect the same of Mr. Hughes. FESTIVITIES' "THROES." Indianapolis is yet in the "throes" of festivity, still celebrating the one hundred years of Indiana's statehood. This, the second week, is full with features and as entertaining, attractive and informing as those of last week. Perhaps the gala day of last week was last Friday, County Day, when the ninety-two counties of the state were represented in the parade. Without doubt the piece de resistance of that parade was the cavalcade of ladies—ninety-two—mounted on horses. It would be a very long story that did justice to that scene. It carried back to the days of knighthood, to King Arthur, the Holy Grail, to those periods of which Tennyson, Cervantes, Sir Walter Scott and others discoursed so knowingly. There was evidence that the dames, many of them, were up on chivalric lore, even back to antiquated Chaucer. Knight and squire alone were missing. Had these been there we would have had a repose all the ages. Ancient Greece and Rome were often seen by that loose-wearing tunic and simple, and the beauty was the great reason for its existence. We mean that tunic are for the beautiful, because they are so simple, requiring the complement of beautiful nature. The richer vestment represented the flowering of other ages—a splendid variety which fairly illumined the route of march. Horses and riders were bright and sheen with silk, satin and velvet and other material glimmering in the sun of that most perfect day. Nothing prettier could be more imaginable than these ladies, a dream cavalcade enroute to the tournament, as it were. Each lady and horse were a study; and they were studied most attentively. They moved slowly that the eager eyes might drink them in sufficiently. Most of them were attended by a groomsman, but there were those who were acquainted with horses, had their own mounts, and gave evidence of their acquaintance with them. Hearts were in accord along the route. Children were enraptured to see this vivid page torn from their body. They exhibited their approval of all it, for they love the transcendent beautiful—the unattainable—since their dreams came true. Men and women were also enchanted, held in a smell by the hour's witchery. Emphasizing the beauty and import of the parade were the presence of former President Taft and Governor Ralston. also other distinguished per sonages from all parts of the state where he were hailed with appropriate acclaim. The county represented by floats, decorated automobiles, and so forth, was the other stand-out feature. Here also was evidence of a variety of thought, making for a varied beauty of the total representation. Some of the floats were especially beautiful, no exaggeration, but insignificant. So most of them were symbolical, standing for ideas ancient and modern, a virtual renaissance, taking it all and of the world in literature, art and the industries. THE STRUGGLE TO RISE The struggle of the Negro race to rise is more than a party struggle. Of course, more is to be gained through adherence to large bodies of voters than through lesser bodies and single individuals when such bodies stand for the desired policies. The natural inclination of all men is to rise. Very rarely do individuals forget the means of their deliverance from oppression. We say this and yet we know at the same time that there is a universal disposition on the part of men to get away from obligations. This is particularly true among enlightened peoples, making the things of physical and spiritual slavery unthinkable as it concerns themselves, respectively. In other words, if men find a self-imposed voke as we may call it, scarcely bear- THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER able, how much more difficult do they find it to bear the impositions of others With the ruling disposition of men to chafe under bonds of any kind we still find men and sets of men who are perfectly satisfied to see others burdened, knowing at the same time that they would not rest contented under similar restraints. This is why the Democratic party is so illogical in appealing to Negro voters. This is the reason that the Republican party of itself best recommends itself to the Negroes and to the highest intellectual and spiritually developed classes. Mankind is ever trying to wobble right. Everything that makes for the best manhood by way of teaching makes for this condition—to wobble right. Nothing by way of moral precept from the best thought or from God's own word approves of any relationship between men other than that of the broadest toleration and which is so often preached about under the head of brotherly love. As a party the Republicans stand for most as it concerns citizenship. Not that they as a party are ideal, since they stand by and see much civil wrong without raising even their eyes by way of protest. And as individuals there is but little difference between Republicans and Democrats of their respective sections. But the Negroes are in the attitude of drowning men grasping straws. The Republicans as a party is their best hope, and will ever be until some other greater party by way of numbers and brains comes to the front. It is no more than following the law of self-preservation and which all things animate follow, whether man or brute. The law is automatic, so to speak, self-governing, and we cannot escape any more. We must be vigilant, we shrink instinctively from terror or that which would destroy. The same theory holds in politics, throwing men from groups where are bound up harm, and to those groups that best answer their views of safety. But the Progressive party is no more, at least for the present. It has not the elements of resurrection, nor did it ever have. It was a political passion, and promising and beautiful as passion generally is, and but for a short period likewise. In coming back to the Republican party the Negroes have done the only thing left for them to do. The Democratic party offers the Negroes a stone, if it offers anything at all. It is too capable of mischief for Negroes, and too narrow as a national proposition for the educated masses who are more or less schooled in civil morals, meaning that they know too well the rule of the civil virtue to ever depart too greatly from it. Solomon said, train a child the way it should go in its youth and then it is old it will not depart it. The Negroic party's principle is practically the race question is trying to it, but somehow it manages to keep out of the anti-Negro law-making business, which business, together with other things, are the unjust impositions of men, and whose slavish tendency the Negroes try to escape, and who must ever try in answer to their nature to go forward. The struggle of the race to rise is not merely a party struggle. To rise through parties if possible, through the Progressive party if possible—through the Democratic party if possible—through the individuals of any or all of these if possible. For instance, in this state, Indiana, we have a Democratic Senator who makes a stand the Negro soldiers and his Representation efforts in behalf of the Negroes in the state is not questioned. He stands squares for the things that we, the Negroes, are fighting for. And yet, because of these political days we find some of us who in their zeal to serve the party have been careless about this avowed friendship. A friend in need is one indeed, is a very apt saying. We have been hounding Senator Tillman ever since he entered the Senate, and we have finally won a Democratic friend in that body who has the nerve to say, "I object." What will we do with him? Perhaps no other Democrat than Senator Taggart in the history of the United States since the Civil War, has openly and boldly challenged an expressed anti-Negro sentiment in that body or in either house. Some see designs in his stand—merely seeking election, they say; and thus impugging his motive they invite opposition through distrust, when his word is given and as any man gives his word. Many, however, take Mr. Taggart at his word. They are too well acquainted with white men to refuse friendship when offered. It is very good politics to have a strong Democratic friend in high places. President Wilson promised everything reasonable and our race fell for it; it got the stony stare, Mr. Taggart promised nothing. His appointment was not influenced through prospective favor of the race. Yet he stood up for the big governmental principles which he sailed. He is Senator; he is rich and powerful; he is doubted leader of India. Powerability, and a national force. Where will we turn for another of his kind? He stands for the Senate as Mr. Wilson stands for the Presidency. Is not Senator Thomas Taggart worth considering? Is he not an asset in the struggle to rise? 'HURRAH! HURRAH! AT LAST!

JACK TROTTER'S NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT NEW LINCOLN THEATRE'S STOCK COMPANY OF COLORED PLAYERS MAKES A "BIG HIT" IN THEIR FIRST PRODUCTION OF DRAMA. The last line written by the last critic will announce that the "Country Boy"—the New Lincoln Theatre's first dramatic venture of the season—was a success with a capital S. The production with its beautifully odd but genuinely human story which tells about the heart affairs of a perfectly likable "Country Boy" who, feeling the call of a great city, departs forthwith to acquire some of its worldly goods. It tells of his failures and triumphs, of his miserableness and of his happiness. The play is far more interesting than a strongly written novel, for the reason that the chapters are unfolded by the action of human characters who are all very realistic. C. Creighton Thompson, as the boy from the country, lends a bit of clean wholesomeness in his portrayal which grips and holds you throughout the entire four acts of laughing, tearful developments. Miss Lillyn Browne, the clever and popular little comediene, was an able support to Mr. Thompson, as Jane Belknap, his sweetheart, and rendered a beautiful portrayal of a lovely and unaffected country girl, whose love for her sweetheart could not be dimmed through any forces or circumstances. Miss Ardelle Mitchell Taylor, Miss Evelyn Ellis, Mr. Jim Burris, Mr. Anthony D. Byrd and the rest of the company deserves special mention for the really great manner in which they presented their respective parts, for without them this play would have hardly attained the success which marked its appearance from the first day. PLAYERS WHO MADE SUCH A BIG SUCCESS IN MADAM X. ARE IN "THE CONSPIRACY," AT THE LAFAYETTE THIS WEEK. The big play-successes that are being produced at the Lafayette Playhouse by the Quality Amusement Company's All-Star Colored players are continuing to draw extraordinary but merited patronage from the residents of the city. As has always been the management's programme since its first attempt in the field of dramatics, the beautiful fifteen-hundred-seat playhouse is presenting this week the powerful production of Messrs. John Emerson and Robert Baker, called "THE CONSPIRACY." The same company which scored such a tremendous triumph with the production of "MADAM X." is cast in this week's show. The play itself is another serious effort made by serious writers to depict in a forceful and truthful way "big city life." There is much in the play that keeps its auditors only a moment from a laugh or a sob. The players, one and all alike, were as real in their presentations of characters as human beings could have possibly been. The success already achieved by the Quality Amusement Corporation in its business of presenting "drama" enacted by Colored players in such cities as New York, Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D. C., is only a pinhead in size when compared with the gigantic plans of this great enterprise to establish companies of the same kind and calibre to extend its work of educational theatricals in many of the important cities throughout the United States. The cast for this week's play, "The Conspiracy," is composed of the following people: following people: WINTROP CLAVERING.....TOM BROWN JACK HOWELL.....WALKER THOMPSON SAMUEL SHIPMAN.....E. E.

Venable and Clifford, the clever novelty act, repeated the success at the Lafayette Theatre on last Sunday night that they made a week ago at The New Lincoln. A. G. Brooks, in an act of doing something resembling something else, such as imitations of sounds and ventrilolquism, was an interesting feature on last Sunday night's bill at the Lafayette Theatre. Bennie Payton has, with the assistance of Leon Williams, made up a minstrel show extraordinary to play in the "rich" folks villages of Jersey state. The performers forming the cast are: John A. Woods, Gaines Vaughner, Floyd & Beaman, Bozant & Granger, Tom Fletcher, Little Jeff, Jack Thornton, Eddie Gray, the famous tenor and composer, and Leon Williams, manager. Frank Montgomery, of the trio Montgomery, McClain and Glenn, has just completed his work of staging a big musical comedy production called "The Frolics of 1917." This show represents the number of six that Mr. Montgomery has arranged the dances for and staged this summer. The others being: "Hello Girls," "Lady Buccaneers," "Girls From the Frolics," "Greeves & Dixon's Revue," and "The High Life Girls." Reese Dupree, the singing cabaret, brought to Sunday night vaudeville at the Lafayette Theatre some of the politest yet popular, cleanest yet richest store of songs and singing that have been presented in this house in many a day. And he had with him for an accompanist Lester Wilson, who, as a tickler of the black and white ivories, compares inch to inch with many of the best that we have seen in variety. "The Misery" which Mr. Wilson executes, half in its regular measure and the other half in ragtime, pleased his auditors so greatly that he had to respond to two encores. The numbers sung by Mr. Dupree were: "The Call of Dixie Land," "Batchelor Days," "Honolulu Blues" (words and music by the accompanist, Lester Wilson), and "Walking the Dog."

The String Beans-Benbow attraction, playing this week at the Washington Theatre, will be one of tests. Its, this third appearance during the limited season of this house, removes all doubt as to its being the popular musical still playing before Colored audiences. It must be admitted that Beans' popularity has much to do with this. How- BABY BENBOW. ever, there are other good, successful players in the bunch.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell ANITA PATTI BROWN AT BETHEL Sings Sellika, Marguerita and Lucia in Character Scenes From the Operas in Costumes-Scores Madam Fairfax, Hit of the Bill at the Grand Theatre — Petricola and Moss & Frye Share Honors— Stella Harris, Bert Grant and Campbell & Meeker, Hits of Last Week's War Madam Hurd Fairfax and Master Harry Stafford, her son, who were unaware of her name, last Monday evening, was a decision in the wager of genuine appraisal. After she had finished the sextet from "Lucia," imitating the tenor and singers voice, it is easy to state that if the madam is anything she is a finished trained singer who voices so well that she could easily qualify in grand opera. Harry Stafford, too, is one of the cleverest of boy chorus place as servants in the white folks parlor, could easily answer as a novice in high class vaudeville. The ordinary oddity of relaxation of memory in ignorance of conceit, was a lucky thing, but she was a fun especially for the unconscious white people who like darky humor. Their sons, however, were captivated who returned for the third time popular, is an artist and a talented singer whose songs and steps belong to her as a clever copiest.

I told a newspaper reporter that he was profitable for an agent to be unblessed in sales to the public, rather than to the newspaper. Then they don't want it. What the public wants is experienced writers and that is why the Freeman is in demand without being sold on the street. Virgil Shepperd, of "Indie" was in town last week. Robb Scott of Wycliffe's Ginger Band is here. They want to date James Butler, trap drummer of the Detroit Vaudette, is here also, on a two weeks' visit. Clarence Dotson, known as "Dotson, the black steeper," is here with the steppe show at the Star and Garter theatre. "Dot" greeted us all as Sunday went out and all the actors lined up.

The Champion Magazine for October is out with a beautiful frontispiece. J. Fenton Johnson is a young man who has been a teacher in a study which in the toil of his vocation will naturally broaden his experience. Woodrow Wilson, whose administration has been racially dissatisfactory with other condemnation of the Democracy, has been a teacher in a small classic song in each number. In addition, Mr. Johnson is possibly a critic entrain by assumption, an eclectic writer, a naturally goes with and hampers the mind of a most delicate choice of human beings. The Passing of the Colored Politician, by William H. Ferris, is an all-interesting epistle and quite the interesting subject the subject was well chosen. He compares them with heavenly things as a grand reduction of their assendency, and several prominent men of past records. John R. Lynch, who once presided as temporary chairman of the National Coalition in 1884 was not even a delegate at the coliseum, but was warmly greeted by the president, who once Register of the Treasury, was only a contested delegate. Harry Roosevelt's nomination in 1904, was not a delegate but a sergeant-at-arms, standing with a policeman at gates in 1912 and 33 in 1916. Then in a passage Ferris says: "Hi. means that the black man must use the struggle to overcome the white brother, and that is now, is a question of survival of the littest." The type of racial man wanted and of how Frederick Douglas once subdued the white majority is honored by the massive white majority. Nearing the close of his article, Frederick Douglas criticized the critical game the black man does not ask for charity or sympathy but for an argument, which he believes, that Charles E. Hutton should, be willing to give. The President's Speech If Theodore Roosevelt is the "voice," And Charles E. Hughes the "Secrete Parts," The President has made a speech, Which shows his mind in queer up starts. The "Secret Parts" so pre-arranged, Seems out of place in this campaign; The Princeton college, President; Is bordering on things insane.

A record-breaking crowd is expected to see the STRING BEANS AND HIS FUTURE In Training for a Big Star. One question which is foremost among the performers and also the most important of String Beans? He and his company are again in Indianapolis this week, making the third time they have been here the reopening of the Old Crown Garden Theater, now known as the Washington Theater. Beans is rapidly developing into a comedian, the must be admitted that much of his present popularity is due to his oddities, his eccentricities, differing wholly from the rest of the stage. I said some time ago that he was a caricature by way of a comedian just like those cartoons seen in the movies, current happenings, true enough, but in a very much exaggerated way. He is a study because so different and yet so much seen in the race in a general way. S. H. Dudley is watching Beans, having mind hitching him up with a touring route of a few years ago. Beans is in training for the big event. He is learning to depend on good communication, which, in event he makes the necessary progress, together with his standout individuality, will make him the best money-getter. He is race. As it is, Beans is now the best money-getter. He is known as the salvation man, the pinch hitter for managers. He puts money in their pockets. Beans is yet a young man; really, he is a man, but he is the street. He has good common sense, and holds a good conversation; not stupid, as he appears on the stage. He is a man, and he respects. He is so strong in his character that one expects to see him on the street as he appears on the stage. He is a man, and he says too generous. At any rate this man is a man, and to whom it is only to be announced that Beans is at such and a Beans and they are there in force. He is pleasing to meet, and companionable. He has plenty of good street clothes, and a Beans and they are there in force. He has a good-sized diamond in one gold teeth, as that of a standing challenge fighter. He can well do so, for his personalities is his bank account and he manages it. As the present theater-going people and managers see it Beans is a man, and he respects. He is a Lewis, stage reviewer at Indianapolis. THE DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MRS. DORA PATTerson R. DORA PATTerson Detroit, Mich. Oct. 11, 1916. A very sad and pathetic funeral ceremony was held on Saturday, September 30, 1916, at the chapel of Undertaker Davis on Ben- nifield Avenue. Miss Patterson departed this life on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, the 27th day of September. She left a very friendship and spoke to Misses Jessie Harris and Mrs. Barnet, her landlady and friend. She told them to tell all of the performers to pray for her and she would be all right, because she was ready to operate and if she lived it was all right and if not it was all right. She was ready, as she looked as if she had just lain down for a beautiful sleep. Dora was a partner of Mr. J. Barnet, a friend of Misses Virginia and educated in New York. She was the founder of the Patterson one of the greatest trios on the bible. Dora Patterson's life was an unselfish one, devoted to the happiness of others, and knew her was to love her; too short was her life, because she was so sweet and pure her soul, who came into her life to wrap the drapery of her couch about her and close her eyes in a clammy embrace. She was put away nice. She was insured and the leading colored undertaker of Detroit had charge of the car. Her casket was nice and a funeral car carried eighteen persons. Those who accompanied the remains to the cemetery of Richard Freeman, the husband of the deceased; Miss Barnett, the landlady of both; Miss Laura Bally, Miss Josephine Bally, Miss Ray Bally, Miss Margie Crosby and Mr. Bob Davis of Davis & Elmore, Mr. Bob Davis of Davis & Elmore, and a few other friends of the deceased.

This was the first hit the As off Nehf. DeMoss forced Charles it was evident that the As were beginning to solve the slants of Nehf this point, and the white boy was running in him. No runs, one hit, no errors. Sixth Inning—Lucid struck out out was out on a high out to B. Taylor. No runs, no hits, no errors. Johnson and Shively struck out. Johnson walked. J. Taylor flew out to deep in left field than Baumann, Jim's hit, would have been good for three but as Paddy has played against Brutus, so much, he knows where to play for him. No runs, no no errors.

Nehr was caught stealing. Powell hit to second. Nehr beat out a hit to second. Fisher was caught by Johnson to B. Taylor. And here ended a game that will go down in the game. A game that will never be forgotten. Notes of the Victory. In the sixth inning, Jim Taylor retired the side by himself, playing perfect on three difficult chances. Bickel, a semi-pro, took the place of Ruderman behind the bat and he held the down fairly well. Charlton was the batting star of the day, getting all of the hits. The fielding honors were divided about equally in the infield. Dicta struck out Lucid, the right fielder of the white boys, four times. Lucid has the rep of being a heavy fielder, too, but Johnson had his measure. President McGill of the Indianapolis Association club prevented several big leaguers from playing. I hope he was not the one who was playing ball. I wonder what he was for some of those boys. Leary never saw the day he was half as fast as Ben Taylor. Some of the fans were disappointed in Rousch, who were billed to appear, but were ordered by the National Commission not to play against the A. B. C. s., who gave him the ball, letting their men play, and it isn't the fear of them getting hurt either. AMERICAN GIANTS BEAT MAG NETS; SCORE 12.6. CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 12—The American Giants won the odd game from the Magnets on the season's series Sunday, and the Giants won the game in the twelve runs, and after that they played listless ball. The Magnets created a game in the seventh, but runs in the seventh, but Whitworth, the Giants pitcher, was not letting out a pitch, and the Magnets lasted only three innings before the Giants onlaugh, but at that the Magnets played miserable ball behind him, succeeded him and pitched a good game in the field for the losers. The GIANTS AT INDIANAPOLIS OCT. 22. Frank A. Young, sporting Editor of the Chicago Defender, will travel with the American Glants to Indianapolis, where he will meet the defense between the Giants and the A. B. C.s. Cary B.

White, age 60 was accused by the wife of a white photographer and the father of three children of things unbecoming a minister of the gospel. We hope he will be able to work with the children, it is stated that white boys are arrested and accused of contributing to juvenile delinquency of 12 and 13-year-old colored Martin Klein. a Chicago booking agent for colored actors and theaters, and a lawyer in the Lincoln Theater exclusively, deliberately came here and accepted two hundred dollars from Mrs. Ellen Dempsey, a lawyer for an exclusive contract to book her house, the Pekin Theater, for a year. He either thought the business was too good, or he ignorant there is no ill feeling between the management of these houses. But they both set their legal advisers to work seriously and costly trouble for Klein, and both houses may book independent. And Daly is a much wanted man ground here.

J. Walker Mfg. Company. This will not be done to work a hardship upon any one but to protect the regular agents of the company from fakes and imposters. So great is the demand for the goods of the company until the company finds it hard to supply such demand, and in order to avoid delay and complication after said date will refuse to make order unless they come from regular agents whose name appears on the books of the company.

The activity of the Washington Bee in littering at the school fight at Washington is represented by a minus sign. This is unlike the doughty Chase of old. Verily, Bee has lost its sting! Is there a reason? Would it not be happy stroke for Tuskegee Institute and the crowning point of a life of fruitful strenuosity if Theodore Roosevelt would accept the humiliation of the board of trustees of the university of the second vault of the death of Seth Low? Miss Nannie H. Eurroughs, as president of the National Training School of Nursing, has so-called National Baptist Convention can move her an inch out of the place she has made for herself—the haven she has created for the development of American womanhood. Falling in line with the trend against hyphenated citizenship, the Negro has almost eschewed the use of the once-favored "Afro-American." A university for 30 years ought to give us warrants to describe ourselves as real, full-fledged and undiluted Americans. That Virginia itinerary of the Negro Organization Society, headed by Dr. R. R. Motton, was of great benefit, both in terms of the whites and the blacks of the Booker T. Washington state tours, which did so much to promote a better understanding of the resurgence of whites and the blacks of the nation. Our "national conferences" would be stronger and productive of greater results if the things said and done had a wider publicity among the forces we work with. Let us talk little from talk that stops in our corner. Let the moving powers of the nation know that we are doing and that we are doing. Publicity is the door to Opportunity. The second number of the Champion Magazine, of Chicago, is in keeping with the first issue. It is filling a long-leaf want. The editor, Fenton Johnson, deserves unstinted praise for putting on a marvelous a splendid production. It also has the hardest of the thinking people of the race everywhere. The Champion will grow in strength and force of arms, supply of skill, mildly behind. Thus we think they will do, or we shall be grievously disappointed. While wielding the "hammer" is not a pleasant function, yet there are times when a "knock" is as necessary and the people people agree with, arguing that St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal on that point. That which is good and "constructive" is praised—but, as Brother Adams well says? "Thousands of social wrongs exist, which must be hammered until long may it exist to knock down the Wrong; to build up Right." The hammer has its uses; but we must exercise磨槊men that its uses do not abuse. The boosting program inaugurated by the National Negro Business League is a step in the direction of the growth of business or for that matter, we must cut a wider swain in the world of business, and a commercial revival is of as much substantial importance as the growth which has a place at least once a year in every well-regulated community. The spirit of making money is essential to the success of the movements inspired by lofty thought and moral values and the school strong—and business development produces the money. Dr. James E. Shepard is arousing interest anew in the educational problems of the race through his monster conference of educators scheduled to meet at the University of N.C. on November 21 to 24. It will bring together a group of the thinking men and women of the land and sound heads there is bound to come good results to the youth of the race. By his persistent energy and earnest efforts, people. Dr. Shepard has won a place in the front rank of all educators of the nation. During conferences and meetings, he will be an illuminated position on the map. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. bred white individuals of spitting on colored *atrons* at certain theaters, wearing necks, tramping on their feet, making insulting comments in the hearing of colorized men in the museum, giving the colorized men an annoyance. The fall campaign for the collection of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund is now on in earnest. The movement should be launched in every community, and the pledged vigor until the pledged amount is raised. A short campaign full of life, the patrons, organizations, clubs and societies, the known among our people should be given an opportunity to contribute to this fund. The Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Institute is a noble purpose. It is the monument that could be erected to the memory of the race's peerless leader. Why not a military department at Howard University? In the past few years, the university has spirt of "preparedness" has laid the foundation of a military department at Howard University and an army officer is to be detailed there to establish the new branch of the military. The principal institution for the higher education be behind Harvard, especially when this military department can be backed by the United States government is Howard's chief backer and Uncle Sam is ever ready to make the black soldier a vital factor in the nation's defense corps. Willforce has shown that the thing can be moved for a military department at Howard University? The National Negro Press Association is making a commendable fight note for decency and fair play is being struck today than has ever been done. The news matter has been inmeasurably improved, the typography has grown in artistic excellence, the editions become more reliable and consistent, the columns have been free from blackmail, scanners have been banished to the rear and the few that have been left are blacklisted and devoid of influence Association has made itself a potent agency for the uplift of race journalism. The newspaper's chain is the lack of adequate financial support at the hands of the men so faithfully serve. The latter condition should not continue to exist. We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a finely-executed photo of Mr. Boyd, the general manager of the National Baptist Publishing House and the "live wire" corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Board, who is the Boyd oweer of the race's most progressive young men and his name in the movement is synonym of success. We are personally indebted to Mr. Boyd for the loyal and unswerving support of the National Negro Press Association, and it is a pleasure to thank him as president of the National Negro Press Association, and it will be a pleasure to sanctum. It will prove to be an inspiration when the fires of optimism burn in the sample of achievement through aggressive action is needed. Pictures of men of Mr. Boyd's stamp are positive assets for our daily struggle for civic betterment. Now that Taft and Roosevelt have met and "shaken hands across the bloody chasm, there are inputting men and Pythias" act could not be pulled off between certain warring forces among our people, or even among our enemies, could the doom of peace be persuaded to hover between Charles W. Anderson and Fred P. Jones; Armond W. Scott and W. L. Houston; Edward H. Morris and Ben Cyril V. Briggs; R. S. Abbott and Roscoe Conkling Simmons; W. Calvin Chase and Roscoe Conkling Bruce; A. W. Clifford and Ralph W. Tyler—and countless others who have long been parties to deadly feuds or on the run. Let us all be willing to bury the hatchet, in the midst of this dangerous no profit in the nursing of personal grievances. If we have an enemy to whom we have done anything, we are obliged give him with all possible promptness. Segregation in the matter of residence is not a question to be handled positively and social issues can be adjusted only by the law of natural selection. There is no such thing as a social stratification as the term. Individuals and circumstances govern the matter of personal identity, like as a person is fixed" and the rich will live where their means permit them to live. People like as a person are closed against all who have not the necessary "bid". This is as it should be operated under a public license, are not "social" institutions. Their status is one of public service, and must be able and willing to pay the price. Price will largely govern conditions of taurants, common carriers, and even churches. To enjoy exclusiveness costs money. To enjoy naturally the places, associations and indulgences in keeping with their means; those who break the black. The black man of large means is so scarce that he constitutes no service to be taken on its merits. Good conduct is to be presumed on behalf of all citizens. The preservation of order is to be solved by the minions of the law. Additional Stage Notes Additional Stage Notes TWO REAL SHOWS MET SUNDAY, OCT. 1, AT YAZO CITY, MISS. A. D.
