S. Jones In a Stirring Address the Stalwart Physician Cited Many Cases of Discrimination—New York Branch of National Equal Rights League to Hold Echo Meeting—Three Hundred Negroes from the South Replace Foreigners in Pittsburg Mills—A Negro by the Name of Joe Johnson Lynched in Texas. Allen's National College 447 Lonox Avenue, NEW YORK, Nov. 6. - Dr. A. St. Clair Brown, a professor of negro physicians in this city, who is active in the movement started here, will address last Sunday afternoon told how colored patients were badly treated in the hospital's pittals of this city, and the need of a hospital managed by the members of the hospital. Dr. Jones said the treatment received by patients of the race in the Harlem hospital, brutal, and made it almost impossible for colored patients to receive the attention against the Harlem hospital, located in Harlem, where live the bulk of the black patients. The women died as the result of blood poisoning from the hands of unscrupulous physicians. He told an audience of hospitalists who was refused attention from one of the nurses, and that her month, and that when she complained of this treatment she was grossly insulted by one of the physicians. "The women are the best women," which is one of the best women's hospitals in this city, absolutely required women patients, and when they do take them they receive such treatment, to give birth to children must force to seek other places. The only thing that will break up this condition where we can have our internes who will properly supervise cases coming under the care of colored patients is possible for colored patients to become internes in any of the hospitals of this city. Dr. Jones cited several instances where competent colored doctors tried to become internes, but each time they were colored. He told of the case of Roscoe Gly, a bright young colored man who graduated from not get a place as intern in any of the hospitals, and as the result he went to Chicago and was engaged by the race, and secured a place. This was also true, he said, of Miss Vandervall, a young woman of the age of 21, who was the first woman to her class at the woman's medical college here and was offered a place in Syracuse, on finding that she was not a medical student, a city of becoming identified with the house staff. Dr. Jones address did much to overcome the problem of the program of building a hospital here, giving physicians of the race an opportunity of becoming interested in the interest of the building campaign of the proposed colored hospital, which is well under way. Before Dr. Jones was appointed to the position of Dr. Taylor and Albert Reed, who, with Dr Jones, are the moving spirits in the movement. Dr. Jones one of the leaders of the civic uplift of the race, and is identified with every movement that has for its aim the health improvement of the city. Dr. Columbus Hill Civic League, an organization which has done much for interest of the members of its members pertaining to its own health. A series of meetings will be held to discuss the public with the needs of a first class colored hospital here. New York Branch of Equal Rights League Will Hora Echo Meeting Negroes from the South Still Migrating. The hegira of Negroes from the South still continues, and the last negro over three hundred were brought into Pittsburgh last week to replace the foreigners in the various mills in and about Chicago, who were accommodated by special agents of a number of industrial concerns, and the reason they state for bringing the colored men due to the scarcity of work brought by the war which necessitated a large number of foreigners leaving for Europe. Most of the colored men came from prison camps and were to represent a fine body of laborers. The coming to the North of large numbers of negroes to seek better economic conditions by a more interesting situation relative to the labor question. If colored men continue to come in North in such large numbers, the situation is a serious challenge as to what attitude the South will assume to the problem. Another Negro League in Texas. With the horror of the lynching of Jessie Washington in the streets of Waco still fresh in the minds of the black community, the lynching bring the ghastly news that a colored man by the name of Joe Johnson was taken from the sheriff and lynched on a bridge on the outskirts of the city. The lynching mob consisted of over fifty men who overpowered the lynching and carried out their infamous plan of taking the laws into their own hands, killing a white man and not for the usual crime for which hundreds of innocent people were killed, paid their lives. Despite the effort that is being made to suppress this famous pastime on the part of black men, it will not until the South has become a fertile field for the exercise of this inattainable crime, the law into their own hands. The lynching at Bay City marks another step with this heinous crime of lynching. The Milwaukee Whist Club furnished an abundance of delight for all who attended their ball last Saturday.

We tried our best to save Mr. Taggart from the wreck, but seemingly, it had to be. This campaign has been an eye opener. The new Negro needs attention. And if he does not get it through the race he will get it from those outside of the race. The colored brother is proving a bit too vindictive in this election business. Some of them are fighting to stave off disfranchisement by the Democrats and at the same time they are going into the same business. A man is disfranchised if he is compelled to vote one way. Some of them are trying to disfranchise Roberts, the druggist. They heard that he voted for Senator Taggart. The state authorities have been asked to keep "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in film form, out of Ohio by the Daughters of the Confederacy. They assert the Harriet Beecher Stowe story is being prepared for the screen and will have a disquieting effect upon the mind of the movie patron. There you are. We are trying our best to keep our folks level, trying to sit on them to hold them. We have said that blood is thicker than water. We are in for everlasting peace, but the story or come if we write a magismon. The evil sins of this day are not committed by a particular class of white people. Let that soak in and act accordingly. THE NEW DRIFT. As we go to press the national election is undecided. However, there is much to think about owing to the breaking up of the old political ways, rendering men's predictions as nothing. The centers of political interest and strife have heretofore been about Indiana, New York, Ohio and a few others. The result of those whose conceded political importance has dominated the rest of the country. Heretofore the western states and southern have merely trailed, giving into the sagacity and wisdom of the dominating sections. But there was an awakening when the west learned that the east had become overproud, vaunting itself under the name of new nationalism which in the instance leaned towards war with Germany, war with Mexico. The west is pastoral quiet. Those that go in that direction seek to escape the hurly burly of undue strife of any kind. It is opposed to that intense Americanism which means fighting at the drop of the hat. Many of the west are foreigners who know enough of the horrors of war without its temptation to these shores. They are not in for the spilling of blood just to enrich the histories of a few men, or for the trifling gain to the country. Whether it is Hughes or Wilson the verdict of the west has gone forth. They are joined with many more in all sections who have sat down on the idle vaporings of men about peace with honor. The rest of the country is not so obtuse as not to know when it is hit. The blow, when it comes in sufficient force, will not have to be translated for this great schooled America. When it comes in sufficient force or comes at all the country will not need an legislator's prod. There are more elements in this great change and in due time they will be known. Whatever they are we dare say that they will be right in accord with what is held to be the rights of the people. THE EXODUS. The effort to restrain the exodus of Negroes from the South has caused a rather ugly feeling in Northern Negroes who naturally sympathize with their Southern brothers in their effort to go where they choose. We think that this display of ill temper on the part of Northern Negroes is entirely wrong. They would be entirely right if the Southern Negroes were forced by fear to remain in any given place. Persuasion and reasoning are right in the effort to check the movement, and if employed right there can be no just opposition to them. That a determined effort is made to keep home is home is sure indication that they are wanted at home. That is not insignificant in view of the reputation of indifference, or independence on the part of the Southern white people. It had been generally thought that those people did not care whether the Negroes went or staid. It has been thought that the Negroes were undesirable even for the slums of industrialism. It was thought that foreign men were being solicited to take away them when he had coal. This "strike" in behalf of them therefore is insuring, making it plain that they have a secure niche in American affairs. It is of small niche to be sure, but the permanence of the thing argues a certain kind of content, and owing to which great things can be done. If the base is secure the rest is with a people as to what they may do, or what they may be. Calm, level, right judgment is re- --- quired from now on as it pertains to racial affairs. Flighty thoughts of flighty Negroes will work incalculable harm. Enduring progress will not be made if we heed those who urge a conduct according to personal feelings. All of us feel that nothing is too good for us since we belong to the great human family. But unfortunately for us there are other terms in the equation, and they must be with us. We are not so hide-bound as to refuse to admit that we are not wholly prepared to wade wholesale into the latter day civilization. If the most of us do not see it that way and act in accordance, failing to do the many little things to pull ourselves up to the required situation then it will be the worst for all of us. We have no way to compel the respect we desire and as we often deserve. But it will not come about by fighting the forces about us excepting in the proper way. At the best we may never reach our ideal since the thing of racial differences has existed since the world began. We can, however, make the utmost of ourselves, and let this be our best weapon of offense and defense. Only when this fails is our situation desperate. The easy going, careless Negro's name is legion, and he must have his high temperature of thought lessness reduced by the hard and frigid circumstances of this country, which is rapidly getting to where it is playing no favorites. He must have it borne in to his very soul that this is a great country, and of the greatest opportunity for any people. It was extremely fortunate that the sleep of slavery was aroused in this land. And yet we find our kind tearing and damning wholly forgetful that the privilege is ours to be what we may. We have in mind industrialism. Yea, more, for we may build cities and be mavors and judges. Our civil handicap does not very much touch our beings, our physical selves. We come and go somewhat more narrowly than others in most sections. But the sting is in the consciousness of that fact and not that we are much inconvenienced. So with this fairly good standing under the circumstances it is wrong to invite sectional hate or party hate by striking at a situation which is the same in kind if not in degree in any direction that we may turn. There is no Eldorado for the Negroes, and yet there is eternally one, but it must be of their own handwork, and why not? White men were ploneers and built their temple which we only partially inhabit—our complaint. A parade is in the black belt of Mafia and if there were just as Dr. Booker T. Washington planted one in Alabama. The whole thing rests with the individual. Some say that hell is in us. We dispute its orthodoxy. But we know that God has made our pathway very easy in this land. Who hinders us a rod or ground? We know there are white Christian men in the South because of all the Negro millions none are begging on the street corners. We know that there are Christians among them because they help build churches and schools. We know they have some faults, but not different to those of the white people of Indiana, who, the better classes, also expect Negroes to appear at their back doors, and who do not expect them in their places of refinement and culture as social equals. And happily enough thousands of thoughtful, learned, intelligent Negroes of the Southland have arrived at a safe and satisfactory conclusion concerning such things. They are not pulling up and leaving, and thus showing a spirit of contempt as some do, and whose stomachs are yet warm with the white man's charity, like the cur in the story, beating the hand that's feeding them. WE STAND CORRECTED George S. Hawke, attorney at law, representing Tony Cassimatis, of Cincinnati, writes to this publication as follows: "On behalf of my Greek client, Tony Cassimatis, I request that you correct a statement made in your paper of October 21. "On page seven of said issue, under the heading of Cincinnati, Ohio, you write, 'Why go to the Greek poolroom.' Then you say, 'The new one under the Dunbar Club, should be blacklisted; he don't allow any Negroes in, we hear.'" Mr. Hawke continues, saying: "Cassimatis has just recently opened this poolroom and it is one of the finest in Cincinnati. It has fourteen tables, all new, or in a new condition and a new musical instrument costing $2,200.00 and the place is conducted in a businesslike and up-to-date manner. The poolroom was established under the Dunbar Club for the express purpose of catering to the Negro trade and when you make a statement that he does not permit entry, in previous error and we would ask that you make a proper correction. "Of course if you object to Negroes playing pool at all, that is an opinion you are entitled to have, but as far as my client is concerned, you are mistaken in stating that the poolroom under the Dunbar Club draws a color line. "Will you kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter and if you think Cassimatis is entitled to a correction in your paper, we think that you will in all fairness make the correction." We say to Mr. Hawke, the attorney and to Mr. Cromatis, the client, that we are only too glad to make amends when our publication, in any way, through its agents or otherwise, wrongs any individual. More than once we have had our attention called to misleading articles that have appeared in its columns. At no time have we felt it to be mean or humiliating to make the necessary corrections. On the other hand we have felt mean and humiliated when we learn that individuals had been wronged by us. Those reading this publication regularly will observe that it circulates widely. Many correspondents are necessary to keep up a countrywide interest. Some of them, we are sorry to say, do not study the consequences of newspaper publicity. A thing in print, as it is popularly viewed, is a terrible thing when in condemnation. It means that publishers must be extremely careful and further that those contributing must also be careful in what they say. The policy of any well conducted concern is to stand by its agents. It is none the less our policy, consequently it goes against the grain to find it necessary to reflect on their work. But the public is yet greater THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER than the agent and it must be conscientiously and honestly served. JACK We are not called on to help wreck men's businesses under any circumstances. The color line is beyond the control of any man or set of men. It is everywhere. But the attorney here denies that it is drawn at all. We present the matter as it is presented to us. Those in Cincinnati know the facts of the case. But fact or no fact, we will not knowingly back a fight against any business concern whether it draws the color line or not. We protest against all anti-Negro movements but in a general way. We have no practical fight except for public utilities and public things in general. We hope that we have covered our position satisfactorily to Mr. Hawke and his client and to our race and to those otherwise who may be concerned. DALLAS, TEXAS.

Kearns, Artesian drug for the Freeman. (By S. A. Buddie Austin, Producer and Stage Manager.) The 81 Theater, Atlanta, Ga., and the whole city of Atlanta were plunged in sadness over the death of the 81 Theater owner, David Day, on October 24, after a short illness. Ed., as all friends knew him, was a young man of color, and he loved his friends will ever remember him as a great man, very gentle and kind, and a boy who loved his parents, especially his mother. He did all he could to make it as easy as possible. Ed., as a musician ranked as one of the very best. He was very kind and caring, and the best acts in the profession. Ed. has had charge of the 81 Theater orchestra and of the different houses that he has been involved in. Bailey has been in the show business. Mr. Bailey was at the bedside a few seconds after Ed. died, and offered his services. He also paid every cent of the funeral expenses, showing a mark of respect and appreciation that is a Negro. So let us take off our hats to Mr. Bailey and forever remember him as being one of the stars of the show away. The floral offerings were many. Buddie Austin's Dramatic Stock Company, Birdie Gibson, Maggie Austin, and Linda Lankford, Buster Porter and Willie presented a large pill of flowers, trying to show humble love and respect we have to Werner, Ga., Sunday, October 29, 1916, for burial, this being his birth place. We of the 81 Theater offer to save family our heartfelt sympathy. By Edward Lankford.

Marked as has been the decline of Colored theatricals in one direction, has been its ascendency in another. But a few years ago, our race of people boasted without fear of contradiction of having the best four musical comedy productions playing in the United States. And when such companies as Williams & Walker, Cole & Johnson, Ernest Hogan, and S. H. Dudley's Smart Set were put forward, all argument which might have ensued was immediately forestalled. Torn apart as they were, by the grim death of death, from those peerless leaders who had directed their fortunes in the past, a large number of the people who once made up the back bone and sinews of the above mentioned companies, are today accomplishing what is to the people who make up the "white world" things of a very startling nature. They are enacting a series of dramatic plays, which were written by white playwrights for white players and intended to be presented only before white audiences in playhouses drawn full human attention. Colored patronage, and spite of these misrepresented disadvantages, these Colored players have achieved successes which have been so profound that the eyes of some of this country's greatest theatrical magnates have been often turned in their directions. Within the short space of twelve months the Colored race has furnished unfeutable proof to both the world at large and to itself, that it can produce players successfully present anything in the show business from a musical comedy to drama of the Shakeesperian order. Since so much has already been successfully demonstrated at the expense of people not of the Colored race, why do not some Colored people with good red blood themselves get together and pick up the strings of race theatrical developments from where they were dropped through the deaths of those great workers, Ernest Hogan, George Walker and Bob Cole, and carry those developments through to the original intentions of Colored theatricals and theaters in which to play, owned and controlled by the Colored people. The time has never been more ripe than it is at the present, not only for acquiring theater property, but for the production of a series of dramatic plays showing the Colored people's life in America. There is plenty of timber within easy reach for the construction of such plays, which aside from the vast amount of educational work this type of play would accomplish in placing before the eyes of the world "the Colored man as he really is," it would most certainly offer from an investment viewpoint, bona-fide opportunities for making a few fortunes that have never before been opened to the Colored man's capital. There is another element of theatricals which so far haven't been developed even to the basis of infancy. That is where the Colored performer and capital is concerned. It is moving pictures. Some people have told us that there is practically no out-let for this kind of picture film. Meaning by that statement, that the number of houses which could pay the price of film rent would be so limited that its producers would be put at a considerable loss. On the surface this argument appears to be full of good logic. But it won't stand the scratch far down. We know that feature film's rent anywhere from $50 a day on up. And we know, too, that the employment of high priced stars and a hundred and one other high priced things is the reason for this high rent. Such expenses could not be incurred in the making of Colored play films, at least not for a great number of years. Information coming from one of New York's largest movie producers, states that a really high class photo-play consisting of from five to seven reels can be produced at about the cost of $2,000 to $3,000. Duplicate films of the same subject can be manufactured at the cost of a few cents for each foot. Assuming that some one with $5,000 decided to specialize in feature Colored films costing $3,000 to produce; $1,000 to advertise, and $1,000 to distribute. This would total in round figures $5,000. There is, we are told, five hundred "movies" in the United States catering directly to the patronage of the Colored people. Assuming this to be true, the producer of this kind of feature picture would find five hundred hands outstretched from every part of the country, eager to take his productions as fast as he could supply them at say—the rent of them to be $20. At $20 a day rental, each picture would show a profit of $5,000 net. Both the investments and the profits could be turned over and over in other productions until the profits were sufficient to cover the cost of the subject matter to a high class film, there are already more than one hundred of the most intense and realistic race stories that can be purchased and easily whipped into scenario forms. STARS THAT SHINE ON MANY CIRCUITS. Exposition Four are at Keith's Boston theater. George Francis, musician, is rehearsing with the famous Clef Club organization. Willie Manleff, Hamilton White and Thomas Brooks are big specials in the "Heart of Dixie" (white) company. Allie Gilliam, one of the best known comedians of the race, is confined in the hospital at Central Islip, Long Island. Mr. Joseph Meyers, the popular banjoist, recently returned home from London, England, where he has had a successful stay. Karle B. Cooke and his society orchestra are tuning up for the engagements to be filled at the close of the election campaign. Hon. Judson Lyons, Hon. John Dancy and several other important personages were the recent guests of the election campaign. Toots Davis and Eddie Stafford, a team of clever Colored dancers, are being featured with the Puss and Puss Burlesque Company. James Reese Europe's orchestra will complete one year of its continuous success at the Plaza Hotel, in Boston, Mass., about the middle of this month. A straw canvas taken among the Colored performers around New York City show them to be almost a man on the Hughes-Whitman band wagon. Patrick Foy's banjo band has returned to Boston, Mass., to play its customary Thanksgiving engagement at the popular Boston hostelry, Hotel Hayward. Little Madge Davis, one of the best Colored dancing soubrettes in the profession, is now trooping with Billy Maston's "Holiday in Dixie Land" company (Colored). Miss Marjorie Sipp and Florence Emory, the popular entertainers at Goldgraben's dining rooms, gave a befetekst party on last Monday evening in the Lafayette Theater of in "Foy's Five Minutes From Broadway." Ziegfield Follies of in 1916 are yet at the Colonial Theater in Boston, Mass., playing a capacity house. Bert A. Williams, remains the popular hit of the show. Karl B. Cooke's Society Orchestra boys also enjoyed the honor of being on the Follies' bill during one performance. Henry Troy, the noted lyric tenor, has written a number of new songs which are to be sung for the first time at the Clef Club Minstrels on the 16th of this month, at Manhattan Casino. Mr. Troy and Al Johns, the celebrated composer and musician are collaborating in the production of popular song music. Miss Lydia Maud Miller, of Philadelphia, Pa., but a popular favorite among the social lights of New York, and Mr. Fred D. Andrews of New York City, were united in matrimony, November 8, by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, of St. Marks church. The couple will be at home on and after December 1, 103 West 143d street. Richard E. Abrams is still coming at the pace of a record breaking race horse. Altogether for one so new in the profession, he has done parts of both light and heavy characters in such style that an old timer doing the same could not have improved upon. We have begun to see beneath the surface the reason for your success, me boy. It is mentality. That's what it is. Robert H. Kirby, the stage property man of the Lafayette Theater, received a chance to make some good of his ambitious statements made time and over that he can really act. He was used by Director Winn to fill out a cop's uniform that had to drive people off the stage. Kirby made good, he did. His pompous strut, and his own earth swagger was a genuine copy of the New York police officer. J. Francis Mores, the man who has enjoyed the honorable distinction of being known for many years as America's premier Colored baritone, and who has been affiliated with the Quality Amusement Corporation's Colored players since the organizing of the first company, gave an admirable account of himself in the two weeks of play in "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway" at the Lafayette Theater. Mr. Abrams was the signal for half a dozen encores. Walk Out," which always signals to the signal for half a dozen encores. William (Babe)owns, is so to speak, a little fellow physically, but his bigness means up to one of those mountains down in Yosemite Valley, when he turns to personality. Babe has a part in "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway" in fact it is a star part, which brings him out before the audience almost constantly. In the maze of other great stars and stareses, this little fellow Townsend, if he were just some other little fellow—he would be lost. But that great force of wireless magnetism which is concealed somewhere between the sole of his shoe and the crown of his hat, keeps his audience's eyes riveted on the spot where he wants them riveted—on himself. "When You're Lonesome for the One You Love," lyric by Joseph Grey, and music by the well-known composer, DeKoven Thompson, is the brand new song just off the press rolls, which has been placed in a very important spot in "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway." This number is getting an unusually big reception, and the band will be to be heard emitting musical sounds of this catchy air in whistle, even in the lobby of the theater as you walk out. The piece is published by the DeKoven Thompson Music Publishing Co., which is composed of Walter Thompson, Joseph Grey and DeKoven Thompson. CINCINNATI O., SHOW TALK. Playing to stand out business every night and giving the best shows and panels won't draw in this town, Mrs. Dempsey extends her thanks to her man and his patrons. She prefers these awards. White & Bradford, with a brand new skin that was certainly good and stocked, will clean face as she is under cork. They did some sweet singing that brought the crowd in. Did Thomas—the black Bert Fitzgibbons was a riot of ridicule. His efforts were really amusing. This boy and it is the only single on earth that George Lewis can skin. Kite Fisher offered a double act that went big somehow. Kite has become a favorite here and receives an ovation as soon as she is as a comedian, has his own peculiar style and is positively good. They have an acceptable double for any colored house. THE LINCOLN. Big business here, with the Mills & Frisby stock company. This company was given in detail last week's Freebie. The Price & Gales company was based in New York, and had, a burlesque manager, giving these comedians a two-year contract with the company. They had ten people and added to the company eleven more. It is hard to fall from owner and to just actors, but they have to contract to the three actors contract it pays now. They have to contract it pays now. Your theatrical papers and find out who the breadwinners are. Are not hunters. You have to look at theales. Mary Deversy, Marguerite Boyd were released from a 45 weeks' contract in a McDoe company by agreement. THE RAGTIME PRINCESS. Regustas and her Oriental company played to packed houses every night and worked by the audience, from which they took many encounters. John Berry, the owner of the Gus Sun time and Little Miss Henderson, the girl with the German Blue, was a scream. Willie, Williams was a very neat woman, not say enough for her, as she is a very good and a hard worker. The longer they worked the better they got. Pankey & McCarver passed through the Southland, to Lexington, Ohio, to Lexington, Ky. They were met by Price & Gales and immediately where they had a big chicken breakfast prepared. You should have seen those boys eat! They gave out some chicken and open shop. The boys are being featured on the Gus Sun time and especially in the Southland. They were John Gerry, Joe Finley, Ella Goodie, Peggy Burnett, Buck Gentry and Lewis, all dressed down to every actor but the best ones. The matinee at the Dunbark Club, conducted by Mr. Clark, manager, and Arthur Oler, promoter, has proven success. ment several times and knows her well and could give her husband some information, and far as Mrs. Othello Dempsey is concerned, she is now and always has been, a friend to the Freeman and all his many all times.

The Kentucky Home for the Eryngonians, Tampa acts were Donita & Yymeron, who showed off a talented character, actress of a musical, and a souvenir musician. Slickers was an act that created fun in a domestic skit with two girls and two comedians, actress of a musical, and a musician with xylophone music in a set of trap drum devices, including an electric drum.

Now to the victor belongs the spoil, the campaign ended, the victory won. The all-defeated return to toil, And the new administration's begun. Election is over, sure enough, And all the ridiculed are oppressed, Like so many diamonds in the rough, Are forced to take a big weary rest. The President, anew, we salute! We're loyal Americans today. Content that what we got must start So to the victor we praise! -Sylvester Russell "THE PASSING SHOW," IN WASHI JINGTON, D. C. (By R. W. Thompson.) Washington had the first "whack" at the Quality Amusement Corporation's presentation at the Howard. More than the premiers are usually allotted to New York City. A big audience turned out for the big fashion by a company of artists big in talent. This is one of the most evenly balanced group of playwrights in the big fashion efforts they do创 con to their skilled director, Mr. Edger Forrest, and to themselves. The play "en to people who forsake the simple home life of a small-sized town, where and once found, the muse of Clough, Carlton Freeman, Anita Bush, Ruth Carr and Marie Young; Messrs. Andrew Stevens Bishop, Peyor; James W. Gray, a new acquisition, and Lawrence Chenault and others of competence. Miss Lottie Grady, the "vital spark" is here. Nuf sed. The success that is being achieved by the dainty Miss D. in purveying to the amusement lovers of Washington. There is a pronounced odor of orange blossoms in several spots of the three groups of players, and some "tie-ups" may be expected at an early date. Susie Sutton has joined the Broadway Players and is scoring a hit. She has been on the western wheel prior to returning to her home in this city. Mr. Albert C. Knorl, falling to secure a leave of absence from his school duties, has been visiting the cafe of the Broadway Play- ers. He is a genuine artist and is greatly missed. The same is justly told of Mr. Michelle Guay, who endeared himself faithfully and brilliantly in the Quality star company. from Missouri in this instance. Niles does not hurry the moment he does his work and things. He takes his time, doing a few things that are not written in any book. When he reaches his Flows" "Do What You Want," Vontizer, "Just a Pathy," "Memories," R. the Sunshine of Virginia, Kalmar and Puck.

Word comes from Evan Robinson, Irma Baptiste, Alice Ramsey and the Pineapple House. It is going big in China. This week's advisors bore the postmark of Clenfugos. Johnny Woods and his funny friend, "Little Henry," the top-liners at Dudley's this week. Frank Johnson and Hattie Akers were on the boards for the last week, giving a neat musical act. Luke Scott, an experienced manager and playwright, has been promoted to the post of stage manager of his group of the Broadwayites. "Babe" in town and charles in the groups with which they are identified. The Andrew Tribble company, with Clarence Logan as chief pusher, did a fine business last week at the Tri-City Theater, an arts center in the Fairyland at 19th and L streets, West Side, where they are living things up with their live acts.

Manager Thomas is response to the industry demand of his patrons for vauduelle, put on a bunch of drawing cards for a midnight performance election night. The show who declared himself the "talking through his hat." The people of all classes want clean, high-class vauduelle and will pay liberally for the comment, if it is placed within their reach. The Quality Investment Corporation president, control of the Colonial theater at Baltimore, although for the present they will not offer their dramatic productions as a stead, Mr. McClain and a company of thirty people are drawing big crowds and introducing the Colonial to the drum line in according to demand. "Forty-Five Minutes From Broadway" is to be given there, following the engagement here six weeks, if the business justifies the extension. --- The dainty Miss Desdemona Barnett continues to win laurels in the field of enterprise. Her success, in all justice, is greatly enhanced by the fidelity and unwerving loyalty of Mr. Charles at the manager and general hustler at Dudley's U street playhouse. Mr. Ost is a power player, the power. He is an indeftable advertiser and is at home with all classes of the people with whom he must deal daily. He is a live business establishments of the city, and he is diplomatic in handling personal affairs, "who make" the house week after week. Mr. Dudley correctly set great store by him. Joe Simms is also doing good work as assistant to Mr. BLEDSEAUX AND ROCKPILE. At the Washington Theatre, Indianapolis—A Good Variety Bill—Some Strong Features Including Dewayn Miles, Niles, Contortionist—Merry Maids Entertainers Supreme. It begins to look as if the Washington theater had lobed Robyn to star, winter time and all other times. However, the weather has been wonderfully pleasant and he has been presenting pleasing and well-crafted account for the bright prospects before that playhouse. The attraction this week, the theater, has been right in line with the successful shows that have been seen there this season. The company has added some new members to its city, which was much to its advantage. Rockpile, Comedian, Characters. Rockpile was formerly of the team of Buster and Rockpile, of "Well den" fame, in the week he held up his reputation as a good and resourceful com- BLEDSEAUX AND ROCKPILE. edian. This was shown when he gingered up on the second show, giving some red hot towels to the red peppers, saying they were hot, but "good dou" The "Mixed Wives" sketch afforded a lot of follow-up to the red peppers, followed in the change of shows售 everybody that was looking for hot doings. Rockpile made sure he makeup being worth the price of admission. The audience at first seemed as if I tried to come across. I was not come across. Many laughed when they didn't care to. It could be told by those bursts of smothered laughter by the audience as long as possible. It was a little scream over here by some nice woman who didn't want to. Little old man would come across as if an automobile tire had blown out. Little old man would come after giving him the twice over. I am describing the peculiar effect of Rockpile's wench makeup. His kid was good and a bit of serious acting. Bladeaux, Straight and Ventrilougust, Bladeaux also does several distinct turns, but he ties them as well. He ties them as well as a ventrilougust he is one of the best, resembling Johnny Woods very much in his bladeaux's lip control and voice throwin is about as good as could be. Woods singing in this doll is what gives him his doll is what gives him his great superiority. Bladeaux can cultivate this, and, by the way, he should not become as famous as Johnny Woods. As a straight Bladeaux is splendid, he seems to be a voice seems that of a natural aristocrat, not assumed for the moment. His bearing and the rest of it, including this well- assumed role make him fitning *lip* that exacting role. Josephine Bird, Songaree. A most pleasing character is Joosephine Bird, a girl, a performer of two years' standing. I say little performer, yet she could scarcely be called that, because she mode, but built like a statue. Her "Jelly Roll" song was ever so different—done just right to with neat movements, shot through with a bit of modesty. And that's the worldly man's divinity. And that's the Lordy, look down on us tonight! She also sang "When That Little Fellow Played the Piano, and in her own way played the piano" by Josephine Bird. DeWayman Niles, Contortistion. This unique character is in a class to himself. There may be other contortions that can come to mind, but they get to come along yet. I am from Missouri in this instance. Niles does not hurry through, nor does he do many things. He takes his hat and writes it, and then writes in any book. When he reaches his fainthe, where his face is squarely west and his feet squarely east, the author gets back to his original position. His first night stunt of appearing as a female character, undressing on the toilet, is very entertaining for the first time. But when the men learn that it's nothing but a man undressing on the toilet, he is not entertained, however, for those who have never seen it. The mental teopathy, or the wireless is not so strong when the men are standing, but when the delusion gone, it can not easily be restored. Had he been a sure enough woman—"standing room only, please," at every show. Billy Watts and Madame Patti Willis Watts. Billy Watts is of Indianapolis, a crackerjack good one, who puts it in good form. His jokes are rare good ones and everything he does is amus- His wife, the madame, is an assistant, as she sings, as she handles the sheets. She is of numerous proportions, and which perhaps gives the great force to her singing that she has. The madame is a beautiful tone bursts that any woman would consider a blessing. When she does not keep the same quality, She should keep away from those tones, because she has tones, weaker, because lower. say this because she has fine ability, consequently she is perhaps along this line. Her voice is perhaps the most powerful ever heard at this theater, and the tone quality is fine. This means very much to her. The Nichols Sisters In a Sketch. This team is very helpful to the Beedseaux-Rockie company. They are a team of four, a former, a woman of education, and a singer with a rare voice. The younger woman is bright and less inessing in all of this. The team will be more involved further elsewhere in this issue. Bentrice Kirkland. Miss Kirkland made good in the "Bell Boy," when she finds herself in a room where the scene was very sturring but just the curtain came down and "spoiled it." Kid Carl Kid Carl was seen in various roles doing them well. A Review. The opening, both shows different and entertaining. Niles' toe dance got him applause. In his contortion work we were a mermaid, a fish, a rug and a hairl. Rockiepi's jokes were new and good. Also his songs. Dancing with rag dolls were a feature. Bledseaux's old man turn into a mermaid, touching. The closing of the changed show had a "three weeks" to it. Rich, rare and racy is the way the show can be styled a big success from entertaining showed through hearty applause. THE NICHOLS SISTERS.

RUBE WANTS CHAMPIONSHIP WITHOUT FIGHTING FOR F TRUE TALES OF THAT MUCH-DISCUSSED TITLE CONTEST ment to the press, and how ignorant he classes the fans. 1! agree with him that cheap notoriety as stated by him does not make for permanent success, and | presume he knew what was coming when he made that statement. It does seem that if the A. B, C's are, as represented by Taylor and admitted by me, a wonderful club, that they are never asked to return after a foreign engagement, and the American Giants are not only asked, but received with open arms.’ 1 wonder what interpretation Taylor puts on the meaning of his signed statements, which reads as follows: “There is yet some virtue in the truth; we believe that the people are as anxious for facts now as in days past.” "If his interpretation of the meaning of the words are the same as mine, 1 have taken this opportunity to tell the people the truth, backed by facts—written and acknowledged by him in his signed statements. If you have been made the goat it was not in being misled by Foster. You can fool some of the people some of the time, all of the people part of the time, but no one can fool all of the people all of the time; and | am not going to begin, as it is. a short way to ruin, especially in public affairs, and there is no keener feeling of retribution than confidence misplaced. FIRST KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT, THEN PROCEED, This has been the fundamental principle of my many successes, and 1 want to correct the statement that appeared in the Ledger, that | was ego- tistic and felt so cocksure of winning the series that | purchased belts for all the players ard had the word “Champions” engraved on them; but it is true that we have such belts and did wear them to Indianapolis, but they Were presented to the American Giants as the winner of the Lincoln Stars championship series, which we won, and which was advertised as such, and hot a present from’ Foster. That was just as unfair as the big headlines that came out with five games to be played, saying “A. B. C.s Win Series.” Ido not wish anyone to think this article is prompted by any desire to reflect upon the players, management or the public, but facts are facts; and while it may disappoint some, the baseball public is entitled to the real truth, and | will not be a party to any false representations. really admire the A. B. C.s as a ball club, and would not wish to direct a better ball club. They are undoubtedly a wortderful ball club, and their Great spirit—being handicapped not only by injuries, three games behind— in routing a club of experienced players, as the players on the American Giants are, is marvelous. The great playing was second to the wonderful spirit shown; so powerful thatit swept us off our feet, especially as ured that they were out of the running. It was the greatest show of cout that | have ever seen, and was a revelation to me. Such spirit should be re- warded with the efforts sought, but under the agreement the games were played, they are Just where they started. 1 have been the recipient of many honors in baseball the past twenty- two years; have received many demonstrations from fans of all races, have tasted the Joy of wonderful achievements, have drunk from the cup of glory that comes with victory, but in all my life never have | felt so happy as at the close of the last game, when the fans rushed on the diamond and asked to shake my hand. I felt even greater in defeat than | was ever made to feel in victory, and it made a lasting impression on me—and | would not return that feeling for all the honors | have received on the diamond.

One Says the Games Stood 5 to 4; the Other 4 to 4—Dif- ference of One Game Does Not Affect Claim in Sup- posed Twelve-Game Series—The Rightful Verdict is that the A. B. C.s Were Ahead in the Unfinished Se- ries But There is NO CHAMPIONSHIP. RUBE, ARE THE A. B. C.s CHAMPIONS? “No.” this question has been put to me hundreds of times, both here and while st indianapolis, and my answer in saying no is based on the facts and con- at Wt covering the series made between Taylor and myself. The agreement ee ioe a eeries of twelve games. For the A. B. C.s to win or the Ameri cal janta to win, each would have to win seven games. There was no Ger jation that the winner of the majority of, the games would be the cham: Sins, but twelve games played to a decision, the winner of the seven out Ftwelve games to be champions. Just why such would have been published, ctiecially as Taylor knew the conditions of play, is not only an Injustice to seetsall and the fans of Indianapolis, but the American Giants as well. This tii ve conclusively proven by Taylor's statement in the Ledger, September 41, 1916 Taylor's statement to Ledger, September 11, 1916: c. 1. Taylor Replies to Scathing Attack of Chicago Sport Writer—A. B. C. Leader Tells His Side in a Calm and Dispasslonate Review of the Whole Chicago Series. The Peerless Local Manager Puts His Case Squarely into the Hands of the Impartial Baseball Public. Note again the Defender knows full well that the American Giants and A.B Ca have twelve games to play for the Colored championship, and that ‘uy five of the games have been played—American Giants winning three, x's. cs one and one resulting in a tie. That puts the American Giants fio games ahead of the Indianapolis club for the Colored championship, with tight full games to be played to complete the championship series. We fail fo see any reason for the sport sheet of any reputable newspaper to carry feaulines, declaring either club world’s champions, when there le a stipulated lgreement that twelve games are to be played for the championship (Colored itte) and only four of the games have been played to a decision, yet the Defender in glaring headlines—“American Giants Again World’s Champions.” it the two clubs are engaged in a twelve-game series for the title and one tlub should win three of the first four games played, we fail to see why they Should be declared “World’s Champions” by any well informed sport writer, for with eight full games to play, the club which is two games behind has St least a chance to catch up, and even win the serles. The Defender says itecit that twelve games are to be played. Then, after four games have been played, for it to declare the club in the lead champions is beyond our com: frenension. There is yet some virtue in the truth, We believe that the people are as anxious for facts now as in days past. in spite of the statement that the American Giants are again world’s champions the A. B. C.s of Indianapolis have eight more games to play with that club for that title before the people of this country will rightfully know vino the champions really are. Cheap notoriety doesn’t make for permanent success, (Signed) C. 1. TAYLOR. | am not going far enough to say that the Freeman and Ledger are not reputable newspapers, or the sport writers of their papers, as probably they have wrote as they have been informed by the A. B. C. management, whose honesty to them Is unquestioned, and as they are the mouthpiece of the base. tall fans they have the opportunity to explain to their readers Just why, after writing the statement of Taylor's, with eight games to be played, also Scknowledged by him as an agreement with me, also in his statement, they ‘were hoodwinked to write the A. B. C.s champions, after out of the twelve games to be played for the title, with only nine played to a decision—the 4. B. Cs winning five, American Giants four, leaving three full gamer un- played—they called the A. B. C.s champions.’ | repeatedly told the editors of both the Freeman and the Ledger, after Thursday's game was played and they announced that the next games would be played in a double-header Sunday, that it was impossible for either club to win the series, as it takes seven games to win it and it was impossible for either club to win, even if one should win both games—for if we or the A. B. C.s had won both games we would have won but six games out of twelve—and to be the winner would have to win seven games. The argument might be advanced that we had ample time to play all of the games, but in drawing up the agreement of the series, Taylor was allowed to name the playing dates there, and they would be acceptable to me for the seven games to be played there (Indian- apolis), and he named the dates as follows, and so advertised all over Indian- apolie:’ Double-header Sunday, October 22, continuing Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; double-header Sunday, October 29. It rained on Wednesday and we played the game scheduled for that date the following day. | admit that Taylor wanted to play the other date, but | had lived up to the agree- ment, to play as contracted, and with no ‘stipulations for postponements in cur agreements, it was a matter left entirely to me, and my refusal was perfectly correct. On Saturday night before the last games scheduled we were discussing the probable winner the following day, and was asked by the editors of the Freeman and the Ledger if American Giants won, would they be champions, and 1 told them under the agreement with Taylor, it would be impossible, and Knox said “I had better call Taylor up and see, as things are not as they have been represented to me.” Knox, calling Taylor up, asked him if the A. B. C.s won tomorrow would they be champions, and he told him beyond a doubt “Yes.” This was only the invisible hand that was weaving the unfair spirit of the fans, but had made me refuse to play other than contracted. SERIES SHOULD BE: AMERICAN GIANTS, 4; A. B. Cs, 4. The Tuesday's game that was forfeited to the A. B. Cs would never in a thousand years have been awarded to the A. B. C's under the rules of base- ball. It would have been thrown out and ordered to be played over again. It was so raw and uncalled for | took the club from the field, and even yet feel | was justified in so doing, admitting that | regard taking a club off the field ‘one of the gravest crimes in baseball, and would not under any conditions, regardless of the decision, where it was a question of judgment of the um: pire, covering the things that the rules emphatically state there is no protest. ‘But my banishment from the game was not a point of judgment on the part of the umpire, but one of humiliation, and against the rules of the duty of an umpire laid down in the book of rules. All that saw the games played between the two clubs wil admit that every close decision during the series went to the A. B. C.s, and not once during the series were our protests of Such a nature ae to even be cautioned during our stay at Indianapolis, and we accepted for granted, it was the judgment of the umpire; so mild were our actions that in the third game 1 went down on the first base line to coach After the close of an inning | picked up a glove at first base and put it on my hand. Ben Taylor told the umpire to make me take it off. He asked me to take it off; at first | thought he was joking, but he said “Either take of the glove or get off the coacher’s line.” 1 asked him if it was against the rules. He said he did not know, and | then said “We will appeal to the umpire in chief.” Appealing to him, | related what the umpire had said to me and he admitted that it was not against the rules, and 1 walked back to the coacher’s line. He came back at me, and said Taylor wanted the love removed, and that | would have to take it off. | told him 1 was play: ing by the playing rules and not Taylor’s rules, He that that | would have to take it off or leave the line, holding up the game. 1 then took the ball club off the field, and it was done in a manner as quiet as anything could have been done, without the least demonstration. Can you imagine a club contesting for the title being subjected to such unfairness. It was so raw, and the intentions so evident, thaat | refused to play, only as contracted; in doing, | knew it was impossible to lose the championship, but my actions were more than vindicated the following Sunday, when at the opening of the first scheduled game 1 took my poosition at first base as in the game for feited, picked up the glove and again’put it on my hand, as before. Taylor objected, but the umpire in chief told me that ! was in every way obeying the rules, but this was an umpire that knew the rules. WHERE THERE IS CRIME THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON. My reasons’in taking the ball club from the field was prompted by the seemly prejudice handed to me at Indianapolis, and on each occasion, it was done with no play of the game involved. When there last year, the police hit one of my men on the field, and an officer came and not only insulted me, but offered to shoot me if | opened my mouth; during the game | had rot, nor had any of the players questioned the decisions of the umpire; nor was the game in progress—the sides were changing, and | had just started to the coacher’s box, and when the umpire asked me off the line this season for going to the coacher's box, putting on a glove, the first thing that came ‘nto my mind was the incident a year ago. Hence the results. I not only sid that this year, but would at any time, providing the offense was the fame, and prompted by the same motives, as on both occasions at Indian. apolis There are times when patience ceases to be a virtue, and this was one of the occasions with me; there was no chance, as the rules give you, to Play the game under protest, and if the ruling of the umpire was wrong the officials of the league throw out the game and order it played over. The umpire knew that | had no chance to have a hearing on a protest, and went outside of the playing rule> to humiliate me; rather than stand for such treatment, 1 took my club off the field, In any other place but In. dianapolis | would have passed the incident as“ nothing, and immediately have obeyed the umpire. It is true that Taylor used four umpires there on Sundays, but it does not mean that the four were competent, or that they Were there for the right thing; yet he had one that was competent behind the Plate, and he did umpire satisfactorily; and it is unreasonable to one that ‘thinks that if an umpire would go outside of the rules to banish a man, and tell you it was not against the rules, could, would, or did umpire fairly. Taylor was banished from the game at Chicago for violating the rules, in arouing with the umpire concerning some play of the game, which was per fectly right and under the rules. | was banished from the game, not for ;"ouing about a play, or anything pertaining to the game, but simply because picked up a glove ‘on the coacher’s line, in the coachers box.

Hurrell, head of the vocational work of the city schools. The courses in the schools depend on the classes offered in all academic subjects, with special classes for those who work and desire to enter the civil service, and in plain sewing, dress-making, cooking, millinery, embroidery, repairing and tailoring for men, women, shoe repairing, electrical work, carpentry and cabinet making. Work to Reduce Illiteracy. The original idea of the night school is that this object has not been lost sight of in the present demand for industrial education. The current emphasis in Indianapolis is perhaps greater than in many northern cities, because the central location of the city attracts people from all over the United States. Many persons are taking the message of the night schools to these people, would not be reached by any publicly. It is not unusual for Colored women and men at all ages corners to ask people to come, because they cannot read the names, and their principals will principle this year to teach the names of the streets in beginners' classes. The great number of Colored persons who have come to Inner City, the South, the social welfare organizations among the Colored people will join with the schools in an effort to Value of Social Activities. The social side of the night schools is of much value. Many people who attend the evening schools have not been reared by the churches and clubs, and the schools offer the only opportunity they have for social contact. The school No. 17 in West and Eleventh streets, George L. Hayes is principal. The teachers are: Jrwin Arm-blee, Miss Jeanette W.

R. A. D. Wester, Box 114, Montgomery, R. A. REV. E. A. CLARK WILL SPEAK AT THE MONSTER MEETING SUNDAY—Y. M. C. A. C. I. TAYLOR'S A. B. C.s GIVEN BIG BANQUET. Many Speeches of Enthusiasm Made in Favor of World's Beaters. Thursday night, November 2, was a night long to be remembered among the enthusiastic baseball fans and reason that it was given over to the honoring of C. I. Taylor's A. B. C baseball baselibrary in the famous world beat championship series of baseball in 1916. A large auditorium in the Y. M. C. A. building here was the scene of this very notable occasion and the special room was filled with leading business men, mingled with real athletics and the winners of the national game. Such well-known supporters, managers and backers graced the heavy laden banquet table as C. I. W. Willis, manager of the national man of the city, who made an efficient toastmaster, and Elwood C. Knox, business manager of the Indianapolis Freeman. It was noticed that every one of the banqueters was enthusiastic in their praise of the way in which C. I. W. Willis brought the championship to this vincinity and had maintained throughout the season one of the greatest aggregations of elite players that the world ever known. Mr. Lucus B. Willis, presiding as toastmaster, aroused much enthusiasm I. C. Taylor's A. B. C.s Indianapolis had produced one of the greatest baseball clubs that had ever been organized. I. C. Taylor's great ability that such splendid results had come about, helped in a few well chosen remarks, created much enthusiasm in stating that much enthusiasm was "as Mr. C. I. Taylor and his brave Indians were handing out should be roundly supported by all sportsmen or businessmen," Elwood C. Knox, manager of the Indianapolis Freeman, arose to say that best teams of the country (though fast black ones) had to take off their hats to Taylor's A. B. C.s and greet them at the championship of baseball of 1916. "We have met the enemy and they are storming the house." Mr. Knox, amid a storm of violence. The climax of the evening was reached when Manager C. I. Taylor came down from the low townmen, whom he said he was more than proud to greet under so friendly relations. He pointed out the need for a more formal support of both press and public that the A. B. C.s had brought about a successful season. Mr. Taylor added that the team would give to the public a clean, honest sport and that in the future he would continue to do so. He predicted that the team would be when a Colored baseball league would be formed and successfully operated. The Freeman is on sale at Ben Hall's barber shop, Ben Knox's shining parlor, and at the Pekin theater. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Short Flights Let us not be sure of much; Then the sweet surprise is such When they happen you and me, After all, though all things fail That we could it seems Every hill and every vale Blossoms fresher still with dreams. Those we follow eat nowhere, Those we follow lift the load of care. Love that fills the heart with bliss. —Selected. Was it a "surprise" or a "dream"? Politics is giving football a run for the spotlight. Pittsburgh is to have a $100,000 colored Y. M. C. A. Call him "Doctor Moton," please! Not "Major" any more. Colored business men make employers of colored help. "Paying guests" are popular visitors in this day of high prices. There is always a job awaiting a young man with original ideas. Don't chase rainbows. There are substantial things nearer at hand. A number of "prophets" were dethroned by the results of last Tuesday. A headline that is kept standing in the dues—"Jnegro Lynched!" The shame of it! Old H. C. L continues to hold the center of the stage—and the end of the world war is far away. Now is the time to help Tuskegee Institute by giving that dollar to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. The new woman is no longer man's ward and dependent. She is his business partner. Might as well fall in love. The "doll" may more attractive at first glance, but the "dish director" will outlast her in holding the affections of a husband. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, a whole lot of young men and women have nerve enough to get married. Some of them stay married. Very fittingly, the Amsterdam News magazine by believing in and loyally following the leadership of Charles W. Anderson. Segregation, based on color, is unconstitutional. The United States Supreme Court will so decide, when the issues come squarely up to its doors. "Boost business!" This is a timely slogan sent out by Emmett J. Scott, man of things and thinks that Tuskegee Institute every day in the year. Mr. Caraway to the contrary not-withstanding, the Negro will continue to be a "warm member" of the United States and the Navy. Who is Mr. Caraway, anyhow? The fellow who tries to do his courting without a "car," lovers under a terrible handicap in competition with the beau who owns a "Packard" of the 1916 model. As usual, the question of Negro Episcopal church "goes over." It will be thrashed out some more in 1919 at Detroit. Emmett J. Scott, as a private secretary, ranks with that immortal few, of which George B. Cortleyan, Daniel W. McNeil, and John McNeil were bright and shining exemplars. The South can hold her Negro laborers only by granting them a man's chance in the struggle for existence. No one can blame a worker for trying to sell his wares in the best market. The wholesale house will sell just as much as to the white. Let the colored man get into all lines of commercial activity. We should sell everything a pig foot to an apartment house. The Y. M. C. A.'s of the land must not overlook the fact that the vast number of institutions are handed over with the idea that these institutions are to reach the unreached—not to serve as mere club houses for the redeemed. The law should be adequate to reach every offender. There is never a more mobile mobility law should be executed only by the regularly constituted authorities. Usurpation of the functions of the court by mohs is anarchy. allas, Texas, than kept its work the committee in charge of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. It gave over its quota of $500. The committee of the assistants have set an admirable example for the rest of the country to follow. The Old Fellows of New York City are making a strong effort to build a more correctly represent the business acumen of the Order of Three Links in the nation's metropolis. A $150,000 structure in Harlem would about fill Call it "vocational" if you will—it's the same old industrial education that is to the attention of the civilized world in his thrilling Atlanta speech, Sept. 15, 2014. What things is now the universal education—for all climes and all peoples. Dr. C. V. Reagan Nashville's favorite philosopher and literate, will have an important announcement to make at an early date. His new book, *The Press of the F. A. Davis Company*, Philadelphia, is having a big sale—one of the year's "best sellers." The Hon. Ralph Wiley Tyler broke the decline to serve on a committee because one of its members was rated by num of votes and morally unjustified in voting and social pretensions were given by the "Hon" as the sine qua non of what will be the next "bar shister." The late Booker T. Washington spent fifteen years of his life doing his level best to put men into business to profit by his teachings, are doing their "dernest" to put as many folks into business fluence to permit. It is easier to tear down than to build up. Let us destroy the business destroyer. Rev. James W. Muir, A.B., S.T.B. (Lincoln University), is announced by Bishop George C. Clement, as the new president of the sonville, Ky., one of the thriving schools of the A. M. E. Zion connecticutstone College), is named as assistant. The school opened October 11 with a large enrollment of students. The National Council of Teachers of English have opened a vigorous national school of "slang," and all forms of slovenly speech. Very properly, they insist that all of the "junk" that passes for slang be removed, and "framers of the fly-stuy will get" in "bad," if the goods on em' Now that the national campaign is over, it behooves the Negro to get down to brass tacks and put new life into the Negro community. Colored men already in business should be encouraged by liberal patronage. New enterprises should be encouraged by the Negro to foot clothing and home furnishings generally the Negro should supply his own wants. Stand by the Negro. Stationary Negro. Negro Business League, by standing by yourselves. There are mutual benefits all around when Negro money passes from the pocket of one Negro to the pocket of another, from the race. Blood count to be thicker than water. We have much to learn from the Jew about this sort of thing. It may be more than bad, but we don't think much of "scare heads" affected by some of our newspapers to "play up" trivial events. Black type is used only when something out of the ordinary comes to pass. Otherwise, how will the average editor emphasize the really "big news" that happens only once in a great while? Bishop Walters and Dr. Moton are wisely following the policy laid down years ago by their friend, Booker T. Washington, who told his fellows to do the worrying Dr. Washington said: "The man who stops to explain away every trifling charge made by critics will find little time to explain away the wisdom in attending strictly to their knitting. The Topeka Plaindealer is trying to keep the shortage of paper problem by giving eight packs to four by the use of nonpareil type, which is cheaper than eight packs, brewer. This is an economy, however, that does not make a hit with the market. It is not a read long primer. Brer Chiles might do better to cut down the size of the paper problem, nothing but the kernel of the news. ... Horace D. Slatter's recent article on Bishop Elias Cottrell was one of the very best this talented writer has contributed to American's series on "Some Men I Have Known." Mr. Slatter is doing some interesting and illuminating symposium. Write Mr. Slatter and send him a check at Asheville, N. C., where he is brave fight against the "white plague." There is no law to keep the Negro anywhere else, if he thinks he can better his condition by changing his habitat. The way to keep a useful slave is to make it the best place on earth for that element to be. The South cannot lynch, burning, starving or depilation of property continues without let or hindrance. The intelligent southerner ought to know the answer. --- As evil as segregation assuredly is, it has just one redeeming feature: It allows the restaurant to make Negro business concerns necessary. Discrimination on the basis of color has made the Negro drug store, the restaurant, the beauty shop, and the dining rooms a crying necessity. This is no apology for the segregation infamy. It is the statement of a black woman who segregated, we say again, capitalizes, and make the most out of it for all concerned. A skilled teacher has applied for the position of superintendent of the public schools at Bayonne, N. J., asking her to take care of the children, keep her in clothes, food and a place to sleep. She wants to do the work "for the love of it." If she fails to do that, she will find there is a fine opening for her as a general correspondent for a chain of colored newspapers—provided that she finds the "find herself" in the little details of eating, sleeping and clothing. ... A correspondent writes us to object to the oft-repeated charge that Mr. Lewis has been enclosed, though postage be enclosed for reply. He says he had occasion to send out fifty letters to as many ministers as he could, and metal and steel was enclosed, with request for an answer by return mail. At the end of the letter, Mr. Lewis sent four cards in response to his courteous query, touching a matter of considerable public interest. Some preachers will answer letters. Miss Blanche L. Johnson's heart-to-heart talks with the people, through her agger's Column, is one of the finest features of Col. Matt N. Lewis sprightly Newport News (Va.) Star, a manager's Column, and a business woman of the first rank. She is one of the few managers who have no obligations that cannot be promptly met. She is a success, because her soul is in her work and her methods are efficient. Rule and the Sermon on the Mount. Dr. R. R. Moton, Booker T. Washington's successor at Tuskegee Institute, is to be the principal speaker of the annual meeting of the University November 10, the occasion marking the close of the annual session of the Colored Organization Society of Virginia, the University of Virginia, the Reading spirit. The motto of the society is: "Better health, better homes, better schools and better farms." This is a commendable work exemplar. When he speaks the world does well to sit up and take notice. . . . The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, the strongest insurance company in the world, contends to over 700 persons. This is a concrete illustration of the good that men can do who are disposed "to cause harm to others," but one grew before." The managerial giants in charge of this great corporation are John Mennon, C. Moore—all self-made men, who stand for the best energy and business acumen of the Negro race. They have made Durham, N. C., a bright spot on the nation's map. We heartily agree with our friend, Trevor B. the writer on the Indianapolis Freeman, who warns the race scribes against a too frequent use of the frazzled he of "Proof" and certain class of performers. As he well misses, who ever heard the best literary authorities refer to John Mennon, Sousa, leader of the U. S. Marine Band or Creator, the master violinist, as Prof. "Even great educator," in the U. S. Marine Band, Robert E. Park are seldom styled as "professors" although they are the "real thing" as pedagogues. Let us as (in English) "cut out" this "Proof" hoocm! --- Bishop J. W. Hood claims that a retired Bishop has a lawful right to close all the functions of an active Bishop. If called upon to do so by any associate on the bench, he is not authorized for services. The venerable prelate conducted a recent session of the New York A. J. Bishop at the location of Bishop Walters, who was ill. Bishop Hood contends that the only difference op is that the latter has no district. The point is a live one in the Zion connection go on over it. Bishop Hood likes to work, despite his advanced age, and is quite bitter over what he terms the abuse of the village general conference. He is the oldest living prelate. His "Occasional" work is that his mental powers are as keen as ever and that his interest in the affairs of beloved church is not tainted by the abuse of his retirement from active service. Domestic service is a dignified service. If mistress and maid will just understand their mutual need to each the true measure of obligation and respect. The care of a home is a lot of work. If one woman is equipped for teaching or business and prefers to engage with another if one woman is equipped for teaching or business and prefers to engage with another if no difficulty in finding another woman who is willing to come into her home is felt faithfully and as economically as a man would manage a commercial establishment for a male principal.
