Dr. Van Shaikd did not waste any time in orate periods, although he is a director of the first class of the school. He just "got down to brains tacks" and talked school business as a shrewd business man and a sociologist. He told them all about their business affairs, and suggested means for extending its benefits. He told them that were productive of trouble. To some propositions he committed himself freely; on other counts he contented himself with inviting his students to think about them.

The New York Tribune Praises Book Written by Jorge D. Carmichael "In Spite of the Handicap," a book written by James D. Corrothers, one of the most prominent literary men of America, was praised highly by the New York Tribune, one of the most influential newspapers in North, in its book colophon, recent. The literary merit of the book is spoken of as one of the most unique of its kind to appear this year, and one that will give the Negro added dignity in the literary life of the coun- The struggles of Mr. Corrothers, in rising from a bootblack to preacher of the gospel, and the book is referred to as being unique, in that it presents the negro question, and yet hits upon certain daunting and difficult issues, and whose early association were with both races. He associated with one as much as he did the other. The book also shows "Mr. Corrothers is a typical Northern Negro, whose associations have been at least as much with the black as with the white born free, in a State which had never had the taint of human slavery, among the black of mankind, particularly odious. His ancestors were black, red and white, Negro, Indian and Scotch, a strange mixture, a poet, and prescriber. In that brief statement is suggested the varied and interesting range of the narrative autobiography, in the first person from beginning to end, and it is crowded with information, nearly all personal experience and observation. For two things it is noteworthy. One is the racy, conversational nature of it stilted, studied or artificial. It is the racy Anglo-Saxon of Bunyan or Defoe modernized with the character of listening to the personal chat and gossip of a cultivated gentleman." Continuing, the Tribute writes: "So this characteristics which we generally attribute to Negro writers and orators, such as unconscious exaggeration, or agery and rhetorical color." The criticism was unstinted and fine recitation by author and author. Dr. Corrothers has achieved much success as a poet and literary man, and his poems have appeared frequently in other publications. He is perhaps one of the most versatile men of the race, and the surest way to do that is to hard and persistent work. Your correspondent will doubtless call further questions to the author of a copy. A significant thing about the book is that it contains an introduction by Ray Stannard Baker, a former editor of the book, "Following the Color Line," presented one of the most graphic pieces of the color question in the South.

Becoming better acquainted with the situation, however, it is no reflection upon the able men in the senate to say that there appears to be room in that distinguished body for plain, everyday business men—men who are not only familiar and in touch with large business affairs, but who understand from actual and constant contact and dealings with those people who do not possess great individual fortunes, but who make for general prosperity and who have the last word in the shaping of all our social and governmental policies—the smaller business man, the farmer, the mechanic and the laborer." It was but a few weeks later that Senator Taggart achieved national distinction by talking and voting straight from the shoulder in the United States senate on all questions of "Economy." He was universally commended by the press and the people of the country for his earnest and effective fight for a liberal, but strictly business policy. He demanded a dollar's worth for the people in return for every dollar of their money appropriated or spent. Some of the editorials from newspapers all over the country, including those in Indiana, in commendation of Senator Taggart's good work are here presented: NATURAL FRONT PART Covers Entire Head Latest styles of Creele Wish Transformations Puffa, Straightigh Cumbs We are the largest firm in this line.

The Taggart Myth His wonderful breadth of grasp on public questions, his keen insight, his executive ability are recognized by every one. He would do great things for his country and his state, and no one can doubt that he would represent Indiana in such a way as to bring honor to us and win for himself that tardy recognition of honor and respect is his real due. Mrs. Alison Fellows Bacon. Hod I been an adviser of the Governor of Indiana I would have been bold enough to suggest Thomas Taggart and no other for the senatorship. I think that the State of Indiana is to be congratulated upon his acceptance of the responsibility. The very manner in which he has borne the multilevel attack on enemies and allies of the state is a minor of interest in the display proves that he will be of great service to the country—Rev. F. H. Gavik. Newspapers subsisting resignedly under the rule of virtuosity statesmen like Barnes and Penrose hold up their hands in holy horror at the spectacle of Taggart in the senate. Not the real Taggart, of course, whom they don't know, but a phantasmalogical Taggart of terifying folklore, of Pharisical nightmares, of the mug-wump mug. Father Gavisk and Mrs. Bacon know him and have the fine courage and conscience to tell what they know. Very possibly in November many thousand Republicans may bear similar testimony at the polls. Believers in the Taggart myth might stop to reflect that the Hoosier love of Taggart for his political fidelity and his unobtrusive virtues may rest on some foundation more secure than the funeful creations of those to whom he has refused to bow the knee. The fact that such an alliack is provided in that sage remark of caution—"Remember that the other fellow may be right."

Mr. Taggart begins his service in the Senate suspiciously with his refusal to countenance the pork barrel outrage, a stand which he would be by every vote in India. But the senator against a shameful waste of national funds ought to accomplish more than the defeat of the present bill. Conscientious men of both parties should join not only to make an end of the pork measure of 1916, but also to make an end of all pork measures. (Indianapolis News, August 15, 1916.) Economy Of course, one speech, even such a one as that of Senator Taggart, can not all at once make economy popular. For though the people fancy it, they are themselves to a considerable extent to blame for pork barrel extravagances. If they did not want appropriations for their respective districts, and were not greedy for public buildings and rivers and harbors improvements, senators and representatives would not vote for them in the present reckless way. We have all of us in the last few years congratulated ourselves on the good work if the agricultural department—and it has done good work. But Senator Taggart is evidently of the opinion that it is also doing much that better be left unnatured. Senator Taggart's attack was directed, not solely against pork, but against paternalism. In other words, he gave the country the benefit of a little of the old-fashioned and sound democracy. (Indianapolis Times, Sept. 28, 1916.) Porkmanship vs. Statesmanship Some day we shall see in this country a change from porkmanship to statesmanship in the United States senate. The title "United States Senator" ought to mean what it says. It should not mean merely "U. S. Senator from Indiana." Senator Thomas Taggart, in dealing with the "pork" problem, acted as a senator of the United States, and for the United States, Taggart is an Indiana man, but he apparently had a national outlook on "pork."

(Evansville Courier, July 8, 1916) Taggart on Texas Senator Taggart's opposition to the free seed graft is in accordance with the opposition this paper has made against it for years. In his speech of but a few hundred words in length—he made remarks that are fundamental in character and should be driven home to every congressman. "It is useless and needless expenditure of money of which the people complain," he said. In that pregnant sentence is contained the whole story. The public's grumbling at taxes is due largely to a be-affect that not all of the money is wisely or economically expended. Senator Taggart, judging from his speeches, would make a very useful member of the appropriation committee of the senate. (Greenfield Democrat, May 18, 1916.) Tom Taggart on "Bad Roads" Senator Thomas Taggart has made his first speech in the United States senate. It was not a very long talk, but it was on a very live subject. The senate has a hard rule that, regardless of what is said there or how tense the situation, no speech is ever applauded. Senator Kern was so taken with what Senator Taggart said that he broke celery over the wall and actually clapped his hands. A good roads bill was before the senate. Senator Taggart called the mention of the body to the fact that Indiana has 60,000 miles of improved highways. He clapped a tremendous big spike home by saying that last year Indiana expended the tremendous sum of $16,000,000 to make some repairs on these highways. He then clinched the spike at both ends by saying: "I do not know of any project which brings more benefit to the farmers and to the community generally than do good roads. In Indiana the amount of money that has been expended for the maintenance of good roads should have given us much better roads than we possess. "What I desire, however, particularly to call attention to here is the necessity for the department of agriculture to see that the propositions which come before it far exceed the proper and correct balance close and thorough inspection to see that the plans and specifications are fully compiled with." Going to Be Trouble If Indiana Limestone Is Not Used on Building (Special to The Indianapolis News.) Washington, August 10. Senator Taggart and Representative W. E. Cox spoke today for Indiana limestone producers in a case in which it appeared that the Indian firms were about to be discriminated against. In bidding on the Portland (Ore.) postoffice, an Indiana firm bid $725,000, which was 25,000 less than any other bid made. The Oregon senators and congressmen, however, have been attempting to have the treasury department decide to use Oregon stone in the contract, despite the fact that it is said to be more expensive and not as good as Indiana limestone. Senator Taggart and Representative Cox told the supervising architect of the treasury that all they sought was a square deal for Indiana limestone; that they were willing for Indiana to take its chances in the bidding, but that when an Indiana firm bid the lowest, it should have the contract. They also said that if the bid was not awarded to Indiana Senator Taggart would ask an investigation in the senate, and Representative Cox in the house. Indiana stone was awarded this contract and others.

(Cincinnati Enquirer, July 2, 1916) In the Big League Senator Thomas Taggart is getting more language out of his system than any one thought was conceded therein. He never has posed as an orator, yet he is breaking into the headlines right along from Washington with short speeches in the senate. He achieved his greatest flight this week when he came through with the statement that "Roosevelt was a fugitive from Armageddon." When he turned that loose he was entered for a tryout in the early fall campaign among the big league spellbinders. He will get a chance to show the folks out home what he can do when the campaign opens. In the arrangements for the campaign it is apparent that Taggart is to be the parameter figure among the Democrats. His candidacy is taking strong hold with the people. (Indianapolis Times, May 27, 1916). Against "Pork" Senator Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, a new member, a comparative stranger to the senate's ways, succeeded admirably in getting and holding the attention of the "greatest deliberative body," and created something of an impression with his midden speech. Taggart proved again his generability when he opened with big guns against "pork" legislation and unbustiness like waste of the people's money. With a show of independent thinking, Frank speech timely and necessary constructive suggestions and sound reasoning Taggart outlined a policy which today gives him standing as a leader. (Times Washington, D. C., August 12, 1916.) Baby Senate Member Jolts Staid Solons by Scoring Their Waste Tom Taggart, practical business man and politician, jolted the senate by telling it, after a membership of but a few weeks, just what he thought of it. Though giving it full credit for passage of legislation favored by President Wilson, he rapped its failure to attain business economy. Old-time senators stared at the presumption of a newcomer and many left their seats. But none interrupted. "Instead of squandering money in catching cattle ticks, killing coyotes, poisoning ground squirrels, doctoring wild ducks, treating goats suffering from Malta fever, sending on onion seeds to wolk who want a front garden and petunia seeds to folk joyed the meeting.

The last to appear were Bailey and Boyle, and the Cook and Stevenson were entertained by Mr. Douglass who want carrots and turnips, let's get down to the bedrock of economy," said Taggart. "Or if congress has a fixed and determined purpose to increase appropriations, wouldn't it be better to apply this money to helping farmers get extensive agricultural training, or city boys to learn good mechanical trades?" Taggart declared for: "Turf commissioned United States to state roads, merchant marine, developing South American trade, flood control on the inland rivers, preparedness, a government nitrate plant and a bond issue to help pay for preparedness. (New York Sun.) Taggart's First Speech Senator Taggart, of Indiana, celebrated his first appearance in a senatorial debate by taking his stand with those of his colleagues who oppose the pork-laden river and harbor bill. However unacustomed Senator Taggart be to the methods and practices of the lawmaking department of the federal government, he was not deceived by the raid on the treasury wearing the familiar guise of a bill to promote the commerce of the nation. Senator Taggart begins well. If he is always on the side with which he now fights he will be a useful senator and a credit to his state. (Special to Newcastle Times.) Message to Home Folk St. Louis, June 14, 1916.—Senator Stone, of Missouri, is one of the most interesting men at the national convention. He is also an enthusiastic admirer of Indiana's junior senator. "These people from Indiana don't seem to have quite woke up," said Senator Stone in discussing Senator Taggart. "They keep going around and telling me that Taggart is going to be one of the biggest and most popular senators in Washington before he gets through with his term. I want to correct them on that. He is already one of the biggest men in Washington and was one of the biggest men of the country before he got there, and his size has not diminished in the least, and in addition to that I want the people of Indiana to know from one who has been there for a while that Tom Taggart is one of the most popular and influential men of the national capital, especially so with his senatorial associates of both parties. When he has anything to say I don't have to tell the people who know him that the senators sit up and take notice. This is because he good, hard, business horse sense. His wide and successful experience as a business man has fitted him peculiarly to sit in a legislative body which needs just that kind of a man."

They are now receiving 150 per hour. the general manager of the plant is We have never, as yet, been accused of being very much of an adberent of Mr. Thomas Taggart, but since he has become United States senator, Mr. Taggart has become United States senator, Mr. Taggart has been rising considerably in our estimation, his attitude toward "pork" being especially considered. In fact, for the short time that Mr. Taggart has been in the senate, he has made numerous showings of statesmanship which have been a surprise to many of us, probably more or less prejudiced in our attitude toward that much misunderstood man. Senator Taggart has always displayed commendable consistency, since entering the senate, a considerable insistence and dead earnestness in his campaign against extravagance in departments and appropriations of the government. Neither does he play political favorites. He leaves no chance for any one to charge or imagine a purpose to play politics. He is as severe upon one political party as another, assailing a system that has grown up through many years of spending the people's money without due regard to what such expenditures are to accomplish. Senator Taggart sees no party distinctions in assailing the extravagance which has been fostered by the central government at Washington since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. At the same time he is criticising and declaring that as long as he is a member of the United States senate he will continue his work in Washington, and he hesitate to endorse what he considers right, and he advocates constructive things. His campaign is not merely one of negation and destruction. His plan to issue government bonds at a low rate of interest, which would probably sell at a premium, the money to be used in carrying forward a comprehensive and immediate preparedness plan, can hardly fail to receive popular approval. He would provide for payment of the loan within fifty years. This would distribute the burden, as Senator Taggart says, on the generation which will be benefited by the expenditure. This would be his plan instead of concentrating upon the present-day taxpayer to provide the entire amount. Senator Aldrich several years ago declared that $500,000,000 a year was being wasted in the conduct of the national ad-hoc budget. He estimated the estimate of extravagance made by Senator Aldrich was too conservative. Senator Aldrich and his colleagues took no steps toward saving this waste. Senator Taggart proposes that the government use the same business methods that control in large business corporations. That in this way all of the extravagance be eliminated. Senator Taggart declared in his speech that if the senators and members of the house of representatives used the same business sense in handling their private affairs that they display in dealing with the business of the government, they would soon dissipate any fortune that they might possess, and be forced into personal bankruptcy. With the co-operation of Senator John W. Hickman and congressional associates from Indiana if from no other state, there is no question of the amount of good that can be accomplished by such a campaign as that now undertaken by Senator Taggart. That much support, at least, be is promised. (Indianapolis Star, August 16, 1918.) Good Advice from Senator Taggart Senator Taggart's appeal for economy and business methods in the handling of the public funds was timely and to the point. Some things he said concerning waste are not new to the minds of those who are interested only in efficiency and good government, but they were new in the halls of congress, where they should have been heard and heeded long ago. He urged upon the senate the importance of eliminating the "pork" from the rivers and barbers and the public buildings and other bills. It was unexpected advice from a new member, but it was good advice, and should have weight because offered by a man who, as a successful business man, has so recently taken his seat in the senate. Senator Taggart has the viewpoint of a practical, disinterested citizen. Many in the senate and the house have been in public life and have been spending the people's money so long that they have lost sense of responsibility for the waste they incur. Senator Taggart has the right when he says, "Economy itself is a great revenue." Congress should concern itself seriously with the problems of saving as well as raising revenue. His advice, no doubt, sounded strange to the old-style politicians, but it is common sense and good politics, too. deeply interested in the race and is using as many as possible. ALTON, ILL, NEWS. Special to THE FREKMAN Cecil Craig died Oct. 22, at his residence on Gross street. Miss Blanche Cross arrived home last week from a several days' visit in Lebanon. R. W. Lowe's high class moving picture exh bition, was at the Baptist church Oct. 23. Her annual months' illness Miss Heilens Williams passed away Oct. 26. Senator Taggart is able to judge the tween waste of publiches money and the wise investment of the people's funds. When it came to the rivers and hardship appropriation bill Senator Taggart judged each item on its merits. When he found a proposition that lacked the elements of soundness and reason; when he found a item that did not measure up to the higher standard of the public need. Senator Taggart opposed that waste by speech and vote. His careful and fair analysis of the bad features of the rivers and hardship appropriation bill was made with the judgment and balance of a business man transacting the people's business in a business-like way. That is why Taggart commands general attention and respect. He did not fight the good features in the evil acts that did oppose with all his might the evils that he and he pointed out those evils so the public would them. On the other hand, Senator Taggart rightly regards good roads far for all the people as a good investment of publiche money. He supported the federal good roads law, which carries an appropriation to be divided among the states which conform to good standards of road construction and maintenance, and which should organize to attain uniform road-build in efficiency throughout the nation. The auto has made traffic on highways later state, and so the nation has become interested in good roads linking the states one with another. There is a big difference in good roads for the betterment of the facilities of intercommunication between communities, and the waste of money that has come to be known as "peck." Good roads stand as a good investment. "Peck" is nothing more nor less than a misuse of the people's money by those who have political purposes in mind. --- (Indianapolis News, August, 1916.) A Green Senator We fear that the Honorable Thomas Taggart, senator from Indiana, is a victim of the innocence of inexperience. He is a new hand, and wholly unfamiliar with the mysteries of statcraft as practiced at Washington. A short time ago he rashly—and most inconsiderately—attacked the rivers and barbars bill, to the astonishment and chagrin of his colleagues. And on Monday last he spoke and voted against all things, the free seed distribution. He showed that this cost the people $250, 540 a year, about one-half of which amount went for travel expenses, salaries, labor, freight and express. For years the papers have been denouncing this free seed distribution, but to no purpose. It is regarded as a perquisite of congressmen, and so, as sacred. Mr Taggart has rashly invaded the holy of holies. The new senator from Indiana is a very bad boy. Indianapolis Star, April 28, 1916 Harmoniously United Although Mr. Taggart has been influential in Democratic councils here and over the nation for many years, he stands today at the summit of his power and at the head of a party more harmoniously united than ever before. For this result there are two causes. First, there is his attractive personality. Like many other successful political clans, Mr. Taggart has built up his following by virtue of absolute good faith. When he gives his word, he keeps it, and nobody ever has to worry about the redefinition of his promise. The other source of Mr. Taggart's success in late years is the bitter and unfair that has been made upon him for a reason, except his independent spirit. Persecution has only resisted his favor and pushed him on to greater popularity and power. Coming up from obscurity, Senator Taggart has his way through industry, integrity and fidelity. Few men are so trusted, so loved, so admired. (Indianapolis News. August 2. 1916.) Senator Taggart ought to be willing and cordially supported in his efforts to get one of the twelve new land banks for Indianapolis. The city is admirably adapted for the purpose. It is the center of a rich agricultural region, and only a few miles from the center of population, which, as every one knows, is in the city of Bloomington. Through the railroad and interurban lines Indianapolis is in close communication with all parts of the state, and also with surrounding states. Indiana farmers, too, are progressive and fully alive to the possibilities of their business. ADVERTISEMENT She was quite an intelligent young and was well loved by all who knew her. Rev. Geo. Brown.

The daily newspapers in this city have a great interest in the movement, and as a result efforts are being made by influential persons in various other places to have the book published. The students of several of the leading colleges of the South have decided upon the use of the book, and others have written to the book's publisher. While the book can be studied with profit by the young, it also challenges the attention of the most thoughtful complete readers of the Negro race in predicted If the race at large reads, studies and follows the teaching of the book. Capt. Dabney M. Scales, a distinguished academic president of the Confederate Historical Society says of the teachings of the book, "It impresses me as an president appear in the book, and it can be extensively placed in these hands, the thoughtful men and women of this age, it must produce excellent books for future generations. It is well worth the consideration of the white as well as the Negro race. Matthews, one of the most widely known white women of Chicago, has expressed the opinion that the book is destined to change the race. The price of the book is thirty-five cents with five cents added for expense of mailing, and at present can be obtained from the author Sutton E. Bergs, 569 E. Georgia v. Memphis, Tenn. MME. FRANCES E. MOTIN IN DALLAS TEX. Mme. Frances E. Motin, rightly called the queen of impersonators, has been a professor at the School of Expression, St. Louis, Mo, captivated her audience at Big Bethel Friday, October 20th, at which time she presented her class in a classic The program consisted of poems from Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Hager, Shakespeare, and a visible expression, action song and Holy City. Mme. Motin saw, she conquered. Indeed, Mme. Motin proved to her audience that as a teacher of expression she has no peer. She takes raw material and presents them to the public in a recital of a class and kind never before heard. Mme. Motin's lecture on "Study of Expression as a Means of Character Building," was a priceless gem and heard by every teacher in the city. By special request Mme. Motin read and was repeatedly enforced, to which she responded with the last number a poem by Huge, which she read in French, which puts her in a white college. It is truly said that she is the greatest dramatic reader the race has yet produced. She is capable of entertaining race and while in our state she has received marked courtey from the appearing in a recital at a white college. Dallas showed her appreciation of Mme. Motin's ability and ability as a visible expression, action song and huggies of flowers. JACKSONVILLE. ILL. Special to the Freeman. The funeral services of Mr. Henry C. Brennan, the Mt.

It appears that the American troops are earning their money in their effort to hold down Santo Domingo. In or out of power, the Democrats are yet capable of turning the trick against Negroes. With a few good ones in our favor the trick will not be so easily turned. Senator Thomas Taggart is a good one. We insist again that Senator Thomas Taggart is in line with the Negroes' policy of greater citizenship. He is a Democrat, and most desirable as a friend and an assistant because he is a Democrat. A friend is worth having any old time. Senator Thomas Taggart is powerful in the things which make his friendship desirable. He is willing to champion our cause to the extent that Republicans do. The Colored voters of Memphis, Tenn., are being taught to "overshoot" their ticket for the election, with the hopes of bringing about certain results. Likely they are also being taught some "underslung," and for the same purpose. The Colored voters of this city had on their old-time enthusiasm last Monday evening, when they marched through the streets by thousands to Tomilson hall to hear W. T. Vernon of Kansas and Charles J. Cottrell of Ohio. Among the speakers were Miss Elizabeth Freeman of Hughes women's train. All spoke earnestly, and Mr. Hughes declared the ity of Mr. Hughes, declaring it the only of giving justice to Colored citizens. Dr. Sumner W. Furniss was the permanent chairman, and Dr. J. H. Ward was temporary chairman. It is gratifying to learn that the exodus to the North of Southern Negro workmen was not inspired by campaign managers for influencing the result of the approaching election. Officials who have investigated the movement see nothing in it more than the desire to take advantage of the very inducing wages offered by Northern manufacturing concerns. It is generally admitted by that the present wave of prosperity is unusual, due to the great demand for war materials. The Negroes have come North in answer to the demand. That's all that can be made of it. The Deutschland has again made our shores, following in the wake of that first enterprise that startled "gods" and men the world around. This was the glory feast of the recent years, and it has inscribed itself on men's hearts, mitigating much of the erstwhile hate between the nations, we think. Mankind loves a hero as a lover. Arising from his compound, the spiritual part, the angel of his nature makes it so, compelling the admiration for the beautiful, great and grand in object and deed, as if heaven would claim its own in us as a usurer his moiety in a defaulted estate. It is the art preservative of the individual, keeping him in leash with the mysticism of the yet greater Clementine of the hour. Colombo, Americus, Balboa, great you are because our great first cause as it concerns this greater temple of the occident. But as feats per se they pale in accomplishment before those human moles that nearly answered that solemn question with a newer meaning: "O grave, where is thy victory." SMASHED THE CAMERA. The Charleston Observer seems to take what it calls The Freeman's explanation in a half-hearted way, saying it "is all right, we suppose." Then on the back of it it says the only objection to it "is that it does not explain." However, we think the Observer means to be humorous. It would be uncharitable to otherwise characterize it. Here is what we said: "We did say we were opposed to the exhibition of those horrors in our publication, and the pictures, and those that we gave some time ago and which, we think, should be the view of people generally. If we had shown all of the happenings since that Waco event it would have kept us fairly busy not to speak of our morgue like publications." This referred to those horrible bynchic publications that were seen in our publication a few months ago. Of course, they are free to do as they please in the matter of publication. We have our views on such matters and expressed them. However, the Observer has it that we did not explain. We cannot see how we can be more explicit. That publication says that The Freeman objects to the pictures and yet set out in words descriptions just as graphic. It says that it cannot see the difference. Well, it is not up to us to point out the difference; for a publication that has no expression it has is not going to anyone to show it anything much. We are against spreading out largely the details by words or pictures, and the reasons are such as to require much more space than it is proper to give in editorials of the length expected in our paper. The Observer says that the coward or Cracker is not to pictures. We are concerned about his objection; it is we that are concerned to the Negroes. It also says that at Paducah the camera was smashed. It was right. Smash all of them. We get vision enough without them. Here is no timidity, but a righteous indignation at seeing our wounds torn afresh, when it senses pain too. When we serve to recite why it serves no purpose. It is worse; it does positive harm. THOMAS TAGGART. If we are wise and thoughtful we will see that the fight that concerns us most is the fight to keep our citizenship. White men are aware of this, white men of either party. It will be noticed that the speakers, when before the Colored voters, have but little to say on general politics. They think that the Colored people are most interested in what concerns them most. They think that they are interested in the things that they—the white people—would be interested in if they were limited and discriminated against as the Colored people are. Republican speakers from Mr. Hughes down have called attention to the tendency to hold the Colored people down to a point which is both hurtful to them and dangerous to the general good of the country. The Democrats are largely the cause of the restrictions, but not wholly so. As a party they have to accept the responsibility of the greater injustice to the Colored people, when in some civil matters the white people of either party do not stand far apart. This position makes discrimination easy, and easily leads to the denial of greater rights, those which are essential, and without which a citizen is anything else but a citizen. The Colored people stand in need of more political friends. Whether the Democrats win or lose they stand in an attitude to hinder the progress of the Colored people in the directions that they hope most to make progress. They are more than half of the white people, numerically. When these bank up in front of the Colored people, the white people from the other half, our people are in a very bad shape. Nor is this a dream. If we are honest we will admit this and more. The solidarity of Democratic opposition must be broken if we expect to get beyond those tight civil lines that are now drawn about us. That party, being indifferent to the Colored people politically, and not without some reason, absolutely holds the country in check as it concerns things of the color. We mean to say that blood is thicker than water, and it tells in the event of a quarrel. It is plain to see that there must be more Democrats who think as Republicans on the race question. We have said that the pressure against us is not political, not strictly political, it is social but manipulated in its most aggressive form through the Democratic party. When such men as Senator Thomas Taggart views the situation as Republicans do the pressure is relieved just that much. We present no fanciful scheme, merely to catch votes for Mr. Taggart. We present the hope that all at see as it pertains to the situation of this day. Tomorrow the situation may change, requiring a new combination of policies. We are to win Democrats when possible so that they refuse to head segregation legislation, suffrage disfranchise and similar things that concern the essentials of citizenship. Senator Taggart, according to his old faith, is for the Colored people as the Republicans are for them. He alone may not materially change the situation, yet he has done very much. He called off the attack on Negroes enlisting in the army and navy, causing the expression from the war department that it had no such intent—this was sentiment-making—the thing needed before legislation. Intelligent conduct is required if we succeed in getting what we need. Bull-headed opposition to men because they are Democrats reacts a rebellion by making an effort to array one-half of the nation against us, charging it with sins that all commit. The white people of today think nearly alike on most question concerning us. What we need is the most favorable opinion by all. It cannot come through antagonism. Mr. Taggart offers his friendship. The least any of us can do in decency is to silently and respectfully consider it. LYNCHING THEIR POCKETBOOKS The lynching of Anthony Crawford, a well-to-do Negro of Abbeville, S. C. a few days ago has been very much discussed in the publications of that vicinity, and throughout the country generally. Some of the publications by Negroes called attention to the happening in an unusual way because the victim was an individual of means. And that kind of thing seems to go all through life, the publicity one gets depending on one's monetary importance. Before the law all men are held to be equal, and no less should it be so before the bar of public opinion. Had Crawford been less than he was, the crime would have been no more or less. However, the fact of the victim's importance, perhaps, has excited a keener interest in the lynching business, and to the end that it has shown that it is becoming too dangerous to be permitted to continue without calling the perpetrators to sharp account. Publications by white men have done this, speaking in certain tones, and which if we mistake not will be heeded. The Columbia State, of Columbia, S. C., said in part: Never in the history of South Carolina in such circumstances has a white man, white, however turbulent and desperate, there would have been two mobs, if one, in Abbeville last Saturday, the friend, and when he other friends, and when turned out to be a lynching would have been a battle between the two parties—such a battle that he has been held here in strong adjectives condemning the "lynching," but certain practical suggestions in the history of Abbeville of South Carolina in relation to it. In the language of the street, now will you be good? The Columbia State was good and mad, and for a reason. Negroes have already fled from the state as if from a pestilence, and in consonance with the northward movement now we have not only been able to deplete the laboring ranks, but makes for an undesirable community reputation. For, say what you please about other workmen supplanting Negro workmen in the South, there are no satisfying substitutes for those Negroes. This is due, of course, to the birth, training and environment of the employing classes, community relations, and formation making for a peculiar mutual dependence, and peculiar mutual record not found existing between any THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. other people in the world. This being true, it is easy to understand the vicious "assaults" made on those who would lure the Negro workmen to other fields. On that point that publication said: The Columbia State goes on to say that the howl wavel, the new pest of the agricultural fields, will soon reach that section. Labor is needed to combat it, much of it. In brief, says that publication, to keep the labor on the farms of South Carolina will be the complex and difficult problem that the land owning farmers of Abbeville and of all South Carolina will have to grapple with in the next two or three years. The publication goes still closer up to the case, saying: In the Abbeville case no question of attack on a woman arises. Shall the right to a trial in the courts, by a jury, be denied to a Negro who has committed an aggravated assault and battery on a white man? The Abbeville victim was not Negro, he was Negro. The Negroes put on notice that no matter what they do they shall have no rights in the courts of justice—that courts of justice and the protec- The State would prefer to deal with this matter as one of morals, but that being apparently on the lower level of the pocketbook. Shall the Negroes be driven out of South Carolina? Shall an Abbeville mob be driven out of South Carolina, absolutely hopeless, and that their sole safety is in flight? To say that they have but to behave themselves is to criticize the opposing assaults. The Negroes will never deport themselves better than do the white people. Shall the farms be depopulated? Shall the farmers be depopulated with the boil weir to drive away the labor from the farms and bankrupt this southern country. When some when the lynching of a Negro may be expensive, the time has come when it may be easier to be rid of Negroes than to be keeping Mobs in these days may lynch their pocketbooks. We leave the question with the landlord of South Carolina. Hard facts are unlynchable. No room here is left for speculation as to what the Columbia State meant. It meant just what it said and more. It served notice on those whom it concerned to look well to themselves if they do not wish to play themselves to the ragged edge. The poor paired with the poor were also stinted in what they had to say. They viewed the situation as alarming to the white people, the employing classes, and consequently to the secession. While the possible material harm was mostly considered, those publications did not forget to address themselves to the lawless element in the better sense, from the Negroes viewpoint as citizens, and who are not beyond the pale of the law.

W. Shaughter, Jesse Wormley, Chas Chappelle, Clyde Donaldson and "Bud" Baker, gave a banquet in honor of Co. D. C. Pickett, mustered out of the federal service. It was a grand affair. Plates were laid for 100 and about 1000 in freshments which were in abundance were prepared and served in a skillful and pleasing manner. The banquet will not be soon, if ever, forgotten by those in attendance, as everyone in addition to the summits repent. G. A. Barksdale was master of ceremonies, and clothed himself in glory, as did espionage officers, and consisted of presses by Chas S. Gibbs, "The Negro Soldier"; B. G. Clanton, "Negro Professions"; Rev. J. C. Gibbs, "The Negro Soldier"; followed by brilliant speeches by Major G. B. Duncan, Lieut. C. Hinton Capt. R. A. Dyed, Lieut. J. Morgan, Capt. R. A. Dyed, Lieut. J. Morgan. The music by the quartet and orchestra ravished the air with indelible sweetness, and after the toastmaster, in his mastery, he had his introduced music by Duncan with a musical manner, made the closing address, the "gang" all parted, not in silence of tears, but this in the silence of "Old Glory" and the grace of their hosts.

JACK TROTTER'S NEW YORK NOTES OF STAGE AND SPORT STARS THAT SHINE ON MANY CIRCUITS. Miller and Lyles are touring Europe. Conspicuous on the roster of bright-lights in the same play, was Charlie Olden. Evon Robinson and company of thirty people, are in Havana, Cuba, for an indefinite period. Johnson & Wells, international vaudeville favorites, are playing at the Lincoln Theater, this city. Charming Miss Mattie Wilker was one of the stellar lights in last week's play, "The Man of the Hour." Miss Mattie Harris, the velvet tone soprano, is singing all of the late ones at Haynes dining room. Howard & Mason, is with the Frank Montgomery musical comedy show, now playing in Baltimore, Md., at the Colonial Theater. One of the most important attractions this season in the world of cabaret, is Miss Lottie Gee, who is one of the singing entertainers at Haynes dining room. The most admirable cabaret entertainers, Misses Marjorie Sipp and Theo. Gibson, are keeping Goldgraben's, the great palace-like dining rooms filled with the sweetest music. As usual the audience greeted A. B. DeComatheire most enthusiastically and were liberal with commendation on his splendid acting in last week's play, "The Man of the Hour." Splendid shows and pleased patrons spell a crowded house, and such are the condition of affairs at the Lafayette Theater from the matinee on Monday to the closing show on Sunday. The general favorite, Babe Townsend, staged the dance numbers in "Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway" and they are going over with the snap and pop of the oldtime Xmas fire-crackers. Given an opportunity to shine in a very important part, in the "Man of the Hour," Arthur Ray, blazed forth with such powerful acting that he had his auditor using his handcuffs during his final scene. Excellent, the acting of Miss Cleo Desmond has been in the past in her many characterizations, we really are of the opinion that she even excelled herself, in last week's production, "The Man of the Hour." The raw material which makes the nucleus of the band of the new regiment made such a wonderful showing under his instruction that it seemed unbelievable such work could have been accomplished in so short a while. Mr. Harry T. Burleigh has just returned from Minneapolis where he gave a song recital for one of the largest and most exclusive musical clubs of the northwest. To say that Mr. Burleigh was successful is putting it mildly. The pleasing favorite, Clarence Muse, was every bit deserving of the deafning applause which greeted his appearance on the stage last week in "The Man of the Hour," for as the "good" politician and "friend of the masses," he was just the superlative of perfection. The "Pomp and Circumstance" by Elgar was a sensation musically. Sixteen trombones were used for the big theme. The audience compelled the repetition of this number over again. Under the guidance of such an efficient bandmaster the Fifteenth Infantry Band will always give a great account of itself. Miss Helen Elsie Smith, head of the piano department of the Martin-Smith School of Music, will give a piano recital next Sunday at Bethel A. M. e. church. Miss Smith is an honor graduate of the Institute of Musical Art of this city and ranks among the artists of the race. Her technic is flawless. Speaking of politicians and their gameness though, you must see Sidney Kirkpatrick in the role of the deep, dyed-in-the-wool political boss, in "The Man of the Hour," if you have to travel all the way down to the Howard theater in Washington, D. C., to do so. You will find him there with a big cigar, diamonds, big voice—and all. The concert of the Fifteenth Infantry Band given at Manhattan Casino last Friday night under the able direction of Bandmaster E. E. Thompson, was another milestone passed in the career of Mr. Thompson. He again proved that he is the peer of all the colored bandmasters and can be compared without much exaggeration with the best of the white. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Douglass and little son Frederick have been in the city for the past week. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass have been appearing in the concert in New York City and the Jerseys. Mr. Douglass's playing is a musical treat. One always feels when listening to him that they are in the atmosphere of the old masters because he always gives the best that is in him musically and mentally to his audiences. Mr. Douglass is fortunate in having a wife who can so ably support him in accompanying. Mrs. Douglass is a graduate of Oberlin. The engagement is announced of Miss Helen Elsie Smith and Mr. R. Nathaniel Dett. This is a most interesting announcement to the musical world. We have previously given a short sketch of Miss Smith and Mr. Dett hardly needs a new introduction, however, we will state he is the musical director at Hampton and is a composer of no mean ability. Mr. Dett has done more for Hampton musically than any individual who has ever been there. Hampton concerts are now looked forward to by students and artists with great interest. He has enobled the "folk song" and given it its proper place among the music of the nations. We will look forward to the accomplishment of many things by this young couple, musically. NEW YORK HAS AMERICA'S PREMIER COLORED CONCERT BAND. What bids fair to be the greatest step toward the advancement of Colored Musicians in recent years, is the organization of the Manhattan Military Band, which consists of members of Manhattan Lodge No. 45, I. B. P. O. E. W. of New York City. Mr. Billy Butler, the well-known trap-drummer, is founder and director of the band and the members were all initiated into the order last week. The band is to be presented to the public for the first time Friday evening, November 10, 1916, as a special feature of the twelfth anniversary of Manhattan Lodge, and the event is being looked forward to with much interest. Most important is the event "Morning, Noon and Night," overture, "Wedding of the Winds," concert waltz, "Sunshine and Roses," a novelette and a special number arranged and devised by Mr. Butler, entitled "A Tribute to the Fraternal World." The soloists are Mr. Russell Smith, cornet, and Mr. Fred W. Simpson, American's premier colored trombonist. The band also has an excellent trumpet and drum corps. The trumpeters have been trained by Mr. Cricket Smith, and the drummers by Mr. Butler. The complete roster of the band is as follows: Clariontes, Messrs. Edgar Campbell, William B. Johnson, John Williams, A. A. Allen, B. S. Gaten, Walter Lee, A. Capote, H. Gibson, M. Acompa, Joseph Allen, James Drakes, Ober, Felix Nolasco; piccolo, C. Jones; flutes, F. Herrera, F. S. Beaumont; bassoons, Duncan Mayers; cornets, Messrs. Frank De Broite, Russell Smith, Cricket Smith, Wesley Johnson, Henry Austin, A. J. Foster, Wickham Hicks, J. C. Smith, Luke Smith; trombones, Messrs. Fred Simpson, Frank Witners, M. Jackson, J. Revey, M. R. Morris, O. Slimms, John Reeves, Ira Williams; French horns, Thomas M. Morris, Olivias, Ditto, James; Engsouon, Rufus Morris, John Austin, D. H. Johnson, Jr.; baritones, Messrs. Thomas, Jr., Sam Patterton, M. Minton, Sylvester Williams, U. C. Thomas; tubas, Messrs. Dong Johnson, F. Woodson, H. Thurman, Jerome Pes, P. H. Mitchell; string basses, Arthur Scott, J. James; Tympani, Aubrey Brooks; bass drum, Chas. M. Brooks; cymbals, Dennis Johnson; small drums, E. Thomas Jackson, S. Hodges; drum major, Henry Hammel; librarian, Dennis Johnson. "FORTY-FIVE MINUTES FROM BROADWAY" IS AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATER THE WEEK OF MARCH-BREAKING GROWDS IN ATTENDEMENT "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway" is described as a play with music, but George M. Cohan, the author, has given it to it as much dramatic blending as could possibly have been put in a strictly musical comedy production, having departed thereby from the conventional stage methods in climaxes and situations. The company of colored players appearing in the cast number thirty people, who have all been selected with unusual care and judgment. Miss Abbie Mitchell is seen in the simple attire of a domestic, with white cap and apron, in the part of plain Mary, a maid. Miss Crossby Bouquet is an admirable Flora Dora Dean. Miss Laura Bowman is her exquisite self as Mrs. David Dean. Walker Thompson, the original matinee idol, has the women theater-goers simply raving over his acting this week, while Babe Townsend, as Kid Burns, is as nifty a young sport as real life ever knew. The popular favorite, Tom Brown, presented Mr. Cohan's James Blake, in a manner which would have made the author himself thunder out apleause had he only been there to witness it. The famous baratone, J. Francis Mores, gave conclusive evidence that his voice is still in concert order when he rendered "Whistle as You Walk Out," assisted by the full chorus. Richard Abrams, as Andrew Gray, outed some surprisingly fine playing. Mr. J. C. Taylor, as a baggageman, left nothing to the imagination. Miss Iris Hall presented a refreshing type of a messenger boy. Miss Alice Gorges, as Fannie Fordham, rendered in her very pleasing voice, "In the Cool of the Evening." Mr. Chas. Brown was the typical station master to be met at any large terminal. And George (Eddie) Brown as a staff reporter of the New York World, picture of breeziness. BIG TIME VAUDEVILLE AND ONE ACT COMEDY SKITS GOING AT THE NEW LINCOLN. Conclusive proof of the progressiveness of the management of the New Lincoln theater was shown last week when in conformity with its patron expressed wishes, the stock company which had been engaged to present late Broadway successes, was cut down to a five people company to present thirty minute skits to that the resumption of big time vaudeville acts and first run photo-plays might continue to fill the program as per the popular demand. Conspicuously occupying the top-line position on the bill of vaudeville at this house last week was none other than the Universal favorite comedienne Miss Lottie Grady. Miss Grady sung in her inimitable way three brand new songs, so new that the ink on the song sheets had hardly time to become dry. And for each song that she sung a new gown, looking for all the world like the famous Lady Duff-Gordon creations, adorned her slender and graceful figure. But Miss Grady attained her supreme height when she rendered realistic imitations of the late George Walker and Alda Overton. The way that she Bert William'd Bert Williams was really funny, so funny that it was just like Bert himself.

Mille and Frisby in Their Second Week at the Washington Theater Indianapolis, Still Having Success. The big political demonstration and the great Halloween occasion dampened Roberts' playhouse, the Washington theater, last Monday and Tuesday evenings. After that the success of Franklin's combination was repeated this week. The show for the last half of last week was a pleasing change - giving Sanders a fine performance of the part of the little ladies, Bertha Sanders and Pauline Hubbard. Miss Sanders did fine in her song, Miss Sanders did fine in the turn with Mills and Higgins, in 'Stranded Actors.' She also sang pleasingly, she also sang to be his real card, although good in all he does. Higgins distinguished himself whenever he had the opportunity to play the role of Miss Stearn maintained the good opinions of their work. The Bill This Week. The company again made a radical change in their presentation. Mills is doing practically the best variety. He is seen at his best. He belongs to a different class of comedians, having direct ties that get results. The company presents "The Two Bills From Alaska." The drawing room scene for the reception of the skit. The ladies were elegant appearing in their evening outfits. The songs were accordingly cheerful. In fact, the whole presentation was of the skit. The ladies were particularly good in his straight work. McCree, the Cholly boy, was completely successful in his characterization. Miss Stearn deserves praise for her nice-work and for her singing. **Billy Higgins.** Higgins showed what he could do as a singer, and they were well received. His song "Where Is Jones?" was a big hit, also his song, "If He's Your Cousin, She's My Nice. He appeared to advantage all through the A Review. Notable change of costumes in the first part and all through the show, a pretty scene — pretty girl, good-looking boys. The singing was in keeping with the pretty scene—pretty girls and as a white, good-looking Actors' gave a chance for the whole company to do good work as dancers and as a white, good-looking Actors' team work was a good feature. The finale was a splendid bit of comedy, the actors were possible owing to the quality of voices and the spirted nature of the performers. The good singing of the Cross Reasonable for the quality of music. No poor singers, however, are among the bunch. A successful show, is the general coplob. ALEXANDER TOLLIVER'S BIG SHOW. (Bv Al Wells.) We spent one enjoyable week in Charleston, S.C., and then packed house every night, people begging us to stay another week, but when finding out that they were very badly disappointed, so they made good by coming, every night, to the eight members of Tolliver's Big Show visited Buffalo Bill's Show, having a very pleasant afternoon, also attending several performers in Charleston, Hamble Harrington and wife, Morten and Allen, who were known as Poor Boy.

"When I Hear that Jaz Band Play" By Eddie Gray and Jerry Joyce CHICAGO, ILL. A.B.C.'s WinWorldSeries Four of the Most Interested Factors In the Great World's Series Played Here with Fosterites INDIANAPOLIS THE interest manifested in the Championship series played between the Chicago American Giants and the A. B. C's by the above men in the picture reached the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Each of the newspaper men were interested from the standpoint of "home pride," while the two managers were fighting for their individual supremacy as monarchs of the Colored base ball world. The picture was snapped by The Indianapolis Ledger photographer a few minutes before the umpires called "play ball" at the opening game of the series. Before a crowd of about 5,000 enthusiastic fans and with their nerves keyed up to the B. C. of Indianapolis, it seemed to the B. C. of Indianapolis that the world that they were the champion Colored ball players of the world, and that the B. C. of Indianapolis without doubt, the greatest Negro ball manager in the country, barring none. With a team of practically youngsters, he defeated the mighty Indians, and his team shot him by the score of 12 to Rube got away to a good start in the first inning, but was soon overtaken in the second, when he was sent to the shower, and Wickware was hammer unmercifully. Seven runs and as many as nine made him solidly in the sixth, only once was the A's in danger and that was in the eighth inning when Dismukes won the old reliable, exchange places with Dismukes and held them to one run in the ninth inning. Dismukes got to the ball and this makes three games out of four that Dismukes won. Never before in the history of Rube Foster's baseball career, has a team beat him This is the first year that any other western club other than the American Giants has won the championship. He should be proud of Mr. C. Taylor and his A.B.C. it. It was a pittiful sight to look on Mr. Foster as he slowly withered with the same attitude that not a good smile. He lectured his men severely, but it was not their fault. The best team won, and it is hoped that he back next year stronger than ever. Mr. Taylor is a good man, and not near so mean as most baseball managers are and a baseball player. We think, however, that the majority of the men will be back next year. We hope so, anyhow.

Taylor singled to center, and when Hill threw the ball over third base trying to catch Clark, Marty scored and J. Taylor went all the way. Clark scored and easy out Tyre to Barber. Charleston tripped to left and J. Taylor scored. This made Charleston's sixth consecutive hit. Four in Thursday's game, Charleston scored on Powell's single, and Wickware replaced Tyrese on the mound. Powell scored on Friday, waked, sending Powell to second and dismukes walked, the bases were full. Shively flew out to Gans. Three runs, three hits, one error. Powell was singled to center. Petway bunted to dismukes and was an easy out. Grant overran second base and B. Taylor throne to De Wiley played the ball. De Wiley was out on a long fly to Duncan. J. Taylor was caught off first base, Wickware to Grant. No runs, hits one, error. Fifth inning. Wickware was out, J. Taylor to B. Taylor. Lloyd flew out toiefers. B. Taylor hunted to Taylor and was out on hits to De Wiley. After making six straight hits, Charleston struck out. Powell flew out toiefers and missed on De Wiley to Grant. Sixth inning. Duncan hunted to Distancemates and drove Lloyd out to the mound who made it safe off his shoestrings. Francis popped up to Dismukes. No runs, no hits, no errors. This is the inning that proved the undoing of the mighty Rube Foster, Jeffries hit to Lloyd and went to second on the shortstop's error. On a second play, the mukes struck out. Shively hit to center, and when the ball got away from Hill, Shively went to second and Jeffries threw to Lloyd to catch Shively and when Lloyd threw the ball away, Shively was safe at third and Clark was at second. He pulled the singled to center, and Shively and Clark scored. J. Taylor went to third. Charleston hit to Barber and beat it. Follom hit to Clark and out with the bases full. DeMoss hit to Lloyd and when John Henry erred to center, but when Jeffries singled to center, but when Jeffries stumbled and fell over third base, he was caught. Hill to Lloyd. The crowd grilled. Seven runs, five hits, five errors. Powell hit to Lloyd and went to second on Lloyd's fourth error. DeMoss flew out to left. Jeffries struck out. Powell went to the dismukes struck out. No runs in hits, no errors. Ninth, inning. Hitchin to Gans. Duncan singled to left. Lloyd popped up. Powell singled to Buchman singled to center and the were full. Petway forced in Duncan by walking. Gans was out on a close pay. Clark to Dismukes. One run, two hits, no errors. The best team won. NOTES OF THE GAME. Jeffries batted twice in the sixth inning, and made two hits. Going some. Powell nipped another probable run in the eighth inning when he snapped Petway off third. . . . Shively left immediately for Bloomington, and we suppose he is hunting rabbits by now. Send me one, George. Clark is not going away this winter, but is going to stay right here with us. We wonder what's holding you here, Marty? Jack Watts, who was hurt in last Monday's game was in the stands, and was one happy caller in the bombardment came off. Jack's hand is not as THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. serious as it was first thought, and he will be right back here next season, better than ever. Watts is a good player, and knows just how to coach his pitchers. Brother Ben Taylor is some utility man. When Dismukes began to weaken in the eighth inning, Ben went right in and shut them off. We wonder what the fans in the Windy City thought when they saw that score. And to think, seven runs in one inning, and off Bob Wickler, too. Out of the four games won from the American Giants, Dismukes won them. He was hit procter than in Sunday's game, but the old boy kept on smiling. Dicta stayed on the side lines all during Sunday's game. He was anxious to get in the battle, but Brother Ben put the "oll" on the Giants when they got dangerous. As Rube Foster put it, "it was a battle of youth and speed against age, age, age, that all's." We didn't think he would admit it, but he did. Brother Jim made four hits out of four trips to the plate, one of them was a triple. The ball that Jim hit was browning in and was looped. Jim can certainly land on that pill. Jeffries is doing much better in right field, and he made two successors. He made three hits Sunday and made two sensational catches. Balls that would have been extra base hits had they got away. It is thought that this is Lloyd's last year in baseball, as he is thinking of his future. Florida. Lloyd has been a wonder in his day, and he is going to retire to give the youngsters a chance. When Charleston singled in the third inning, it made his sixth consecutive hit. He made it in Thursday's game. Charleston is beginning to hit now like he did before he went east. Keep up the stick work, Oscar. As the train pulled out of the Union Station Sunday night that bore the American League title, Charleston himself in his stateroom, and said, "Don't anyone bother me until we get to Chicago," and with that, he went to bed and thought over the week. It's hard but it's fair, Rube. David Melarcher, the utility infielder of the A. B. C's left Monday (for his first start) and will return to college. Melarcher has the making of a good ball player, and with another good hitter, C. I. Taylor, he should develop into a wonderful ball player. His work with we will be great next season. He is also a catcher, and it is thought that owing to his lightness, he will be used in the rebounding department next season. Good luck. And now let us take out hats off to Mr. C. I. Taylor. He has put Indiana-polls on the base ball map. Monday he will be playing in the country that the A. B. C.'s had beaten the American Giants, as it was handed to the Associated Press a few days ago, a time a man thinks he has all the brains, and knows everything himself, he has prevaricated, and so said a co-star in the country that the baseball brains but one, but we found out that they were practically every man on the team signed up for next season, and if nothing happens, the boys will win. Indiana-polls on the team will carry besides his team, his individual press representative, who quoted as to how the World's Champions are rounding into shape at their training headquarters in New Orleans. Good bye, and good luck boys until next FOOTBALL GRIPS ISLANDERS AND GAME GROWS INTO FAVOR AMONG WAHIANI COLLEGES.

Taylor, of the United States, played during the season of 1915, when writing for Spalding's official football guide, had this to say.
