W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 15, Yes, there is a generals office of the most momentary contest for the Presidency that this country has seen since 1876 are barely dying away, as the United States re-election of Woodrow Wilson as chief magistrate of the American republic and he is to occupy the White House for four years. He is the far western commonwealth of California, which gave "thirteen" lucky electoral votes to Wilson. On Tuesday night, he was the Republican victories in all New England, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and West Virginia, as he was the most important member of Charles E. Hughes had won the Presidency "hands down." According to the old standards, "there was no more to do than to set the pace in national battles. But, the next day brought a change—and the outcome was all the more important because of the sweet assurances of the night before. There was a "Wilson West" in the bottom of the hat. The rest is in the middle, with 276 electoral votes siped up in his jenns. Now that the great battle is over, there is a disposition on the part of our people to get back to business and settle down to a systematic plan of educational, industrial and commercial development, with politics as a "side line" for the preservation of civil rights but not as a steady diet. Some notable history is likely to be made by our folks in the next few years. They purpose, unplift of the nation—and stand by their friends, wherever they can find them, in the world of politics.

Washington—Newspaper Writer says Race Should Keep Alive Memory of this Great Man—Equal Rights League Holds Meeting. NEW YORK City, Nov. 13—The Memorial School, the newest of the coming of Dr. Lewis B. Moore, one of the best educators of the race, and who for years has stood as the head of the University of which he is the founder, who is scheduled to deliver an essay on the importance of the largest and most distinguished audiences that has ever been seen in the world, and to stimulate to hear dress on "The New Science of Matrimony," and your correspondent will say that a treat is in store for those educated to educate to hear Educator Moore. B. Moore is lymeyceum a message that will do much to inspire its members, and the large number of delivered addresses on many important occasions. He has long been regarded as the most successful and has perhaps done more for the development of the higher education of the youth of the race than any other university. He is the field of education. Some time ago he established as a separate graduate school at Howard University, Teachers' University that is devoted to the training of young men and women as teachers, and which has done to elevate the profession that it deserves to the dignified plane that it deserves. Before the establishment of this distinct school by Dr. Moore young college students were prepared for their work as teachers, and as the result the best and brightest students were attracted to the profession. Teachers' College is one of the most unique features of the educational work of Howell men and women to lofty ideals, and as the result the university great prestige. Dr. Moore has done much to inspire the young men and women to lofty ideals, and as the result he will be comes to this city by large number of former students at Howard. He is of the most esteemed and erudite and has been skillfully trained for his life's work. He is a graduate of Flisk University, and later the University of Chicago, and won on the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. After his work at this institution he made a trip to Europe where he made a study of the history of other educational systems abroad. Much of his experience gained abroad he has put into execution here. He is a lecturer, as well as an educational expert, where he is known as a conductor at many of the universities throughout the south. The coming of this great educator to the city will serve as an impetus to the race here, and it will be an event of events of the literary life of the city. CAMPAIGN STAFF HONORS CHAS. W. ANDERSON. ONE YEAR HAS PASSED SINCE THE DEATH OF BOOKER T. WASH. Last Tuesday marked one year since the death of the great and illustrious educator, Booker T. Washington, and, most influential newspaper of the country, both the dailies and weeklies, were giving up their editorial columns in praise of the splendid career of this great man. He held his own perseverance; he rose to a foremost place in the national life of his country. Memorial services were held in memory of him, of affairs of both races, included Theodore Roosevelt, the late Seth Low, Governor Whitman, Charles W. Anderer, and in paying a tribute to the worth and eminence of this distinguished leader, lamented his death as one of the sorest afflictions that could come to a zac or a worm. Booker T. Washington steps were begun to perpetuate his memory, and will be indelibly linked to his life, the principles for which he took shape in the form of a movement to endow the institution which he founded, and which will be indelibly linked to his life. He was the most influential was to be raised as the amount neces- sary, and the reports come from other sections of the country that this great educator has been past year the great educator has been sadly missed and the influence of perseverance has been the first impression of his greatness and influence was seen at the recent League which met in Kansas City. For years the genius of this eminent man collaborations of this strong body of men as a great inspiration of the session. This has been seen in other great movements of which he headed or was a Tuskegee Institute, the Farmer's Conference, the Jeane's fund and kindred movements are some of the many organizations that sadly missed the great leader the nation is still mourning. That the influence of the late Jane F. Biley and his death may be seen in the appearance of two books within the past year bearing upon the life and career of the late Booker T. Washington, two books are "The Life: Times of Booker Washington," by Dr. B. F. Biley, and "The Works of Booker T. Washington," by Dr. B. F. Biley. Eighteen years his private secretary, and Lyman Beecher Stowe, the grandson of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the latter book is of special significance to the newspaper writer one year after the death of Booker T. Washington to urge the young men and women of the race to take a keeper interest in the work of the author to study the salient points in his character which made it possible for him to become one of the great men of his era. The books he has written, and hold him up as an ideal that holds out to the Afro-American youth the highest possibility. THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING The local branch of The National Equal Rights League held an enthusiastic meeting last Thursday evening at Salem M. E. church, under the auspices of the Equal Rights League, well attended, and one of the things done was the consideration of plans to form a strong organization here.

Abraham Lincoln is said to have had a conversation with one of the great battles of the Civil War. Lincoln asked the man to fight bravely. "No, sah; I runs." "Why, that wasn't very creditable to him," the man said. "Dat isn't my line, sah; cookin's my "Dat isn't my line, sah; cookin' my pots, well. 'Well, have you no regard for your reputation?' Don't you nuffin to me by de side of life." "But if you lost your life you would have satisfaction of knowing that you had been killed, you would rather what kind of satisfaction is dat when you can't eat no more cohn bread and possum? You would rather be in the minute dan a dead hero for a million years." That is just the way many people are fighting the battles of life. "Safety first" is a good slogan, but do you know that safety is the most important somebody fought for everybody's safety. The protection enjoyed by the coward came to him because he big old fight anyhow. You might as well arm yourself. "When days wgine quit fightin' ovah yondah?" is what the Highway Man heard an old man interrogate recently. He said he and his allies are asking every day. The effect of the war is far-reaching. It even makes sweet things scarce. Seven children and two adults was allowed to make sweetened water at will, and to sprinkle sugar on buttered bread any old day. But ask me how the sugar sprinkling like that now. O not Sugar is so much per grain now. The war is on. Children must be sweet and have a lot of dozen, they say. They are fighting. I mean the folk in Europe. But seriously this question of fighting is enough to engage anybody's attention. It's awful; but it isn't new. This thing FIGHT has been used in the past of the day. The man who can't fight in some way is soon defeated. People fight everywhere—in church, in business, in the street. It is a great big squabble in which individuals pummel each other in an effort to get on top. I saw a man and you can see dogs fighting the other night. But you can see dogs fighting any time, can't you? It is RIGHT to FIGHT—that is, FIGHT for RIGHT. The survival of the fittest is the rule of existence. The strongest specimens triumph and when a weak specimen does get by, everybody wants to be the best. Insect, the bird or the animal that can't keep pace with contending circumstances pretty soon INCOLN REPUBLICAN LEAGU HAD SUCCESS THE BAL- LOON BOX. MEMPHIS, TENN. Nov. 10, 1916.—The one great victory won by the American Negro in the central Memphis and West Tennessee. The Lincoln Republican League, R. Church, Jr., founder and president, won the first open contest in an open contest at the ballot-box. And more, the Lincoln League shattered the Local Option combination composed of white Republicans, Democrats, and others. But most important, Lincoln League, now 5,000 strong and still growing, has gathered Colored voters and is the most political organization among Colored people in the country. As leader, Mr. Church can boast a majority of the elected and more determined that ever lined up behind a Colored leader. Friday night the League met to consider the situation. More men were elected to the House, and got together the Friday night before election. Beginning here, the capital of the Negro race, the battle is on to win the Southern Negro. From Wayman Wilkerson, candidate for Congress straight down the line, the Lincoln League ticket polled a vote larger than the so-called no protection at the polls, and local combinations against them, together with the natural bent of Democrats to brow-best through with an approximate vote of 2700 as counted by election judges.

A certain dark man has been fighting for his rights for about fifty years. He's getting them. Talk about peace. Where is peace to be found? A man cannot get a position, job, office or what-not but what he must fight to keep it after he wins. The newspapers cannot live in the same burg without fighting each other. One grocer fights the other grocer. Even the other day two blind men couldn't see each other (of course not) or any way to keep the peace, so they fought. Even the preacher has entered the ring. Some people fight sin or gin (same thing); some people fight not. Some fight for MONEY, some fight for HONEY. Some fight HEAVEN; some fight HELL—which is some fighting. A man once met a fellow in the same place every day. Whatever the man asked, he would come in the way. If he deposited a sum in his bank, before he left the building, he would say, "I have more money than anybody." Whenever he started to work, he would say, "My way his acquaintance would show up and exclaim, 'All the ladies love me.' One day man was asked, "Ore day and discounted. He was short in his accounts and as he pored over the pages of the big ledger, he present friend entered and whispered, "Don't worry, they'll never know. I'm, shrewdest bookkeeper in the world." But a turning point came in the life of the man, as it does in every life. One night we were companion, whom he gave well now invoked that he gave the house of feasting—where there dissipation wearing the mask of Pleasure held past and past, easily was. But here the man discovered something—saw his companion as he really was, his enemy, and suddenly grasps him by the throat and marks him with a mark, WILL POWER, beats him to the earth. The fight was fierce and serious, but he was not afraid. Finally his adversary lay prostrate at his feet. Dead? No, for every day he shows signs of life. But as he shows fight, the man taps him with his "WILL-POWER" weapon. The name of the strange companion which the man fought so hard and still wars against is Mr. SELLE. You'll be a hero, too, when you beat him. The fight is on. versary smack up to the State House steps. The campaign launched by Mr. Clinton to get more interest. From the middle of August until election eve, when Roscoe Simpson, the mayor of Fort Wayne, 7,000 people, interest in the contest was without parallel in the South. He set a more set and determined then the men Work Just Begun. The Lincoln League is organizing for local contests next year, and for Congressional race in 1918. Candidates be put up by one of the county and congressional and since the vote piled up by the organization establishes it as the Regular Republican party organization in the election will always be represented on the official ballot.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—We are certainly proud of the Leland Hotel boys—sometimes before seen. The headwaiter, Mr Burns, is well liked and he handles the men well. He has done a good thing by not allowing these games, sometimes before seen. One complaint we desire to register against the proprietor of the hotel, viz. he hasn't got a decent dressing room with a first-class room, waiters have a first-class room, chairs, wash room and the facilities necessary for preparing themselves for the dinner. We serve the washroom and serve the elite "V" of the country. Here, as at the Jefferson, in Poria, the men are crowded in a small "hole" washing facilities. This is abominable, Peoria and Decatur, however, are much better than Springfield. We were over the knockout blow of Tuesday yet. Speaking of the hotel men, we forgot to speak of the Illinois Hotel crowd. R. B. Smith, a bad fellow, was bad fellows. Long, of the Leland, is dexterious, accurate and up-to-date. Jacobs is well informed and is date some of those youngsters will not obey him. Chapman is strictly business. Once, however, he lost a dollar in making change and since that time he has been a good friend. Berry is steady and sturdy. Hastings is an old hotel man. He is getting older. Some of them look fainthemb and do not study and read enough. To be first-class in any line, you must be studious and not too foolish and do study and read enough. To be first-class in any line, you must be studious and not too foolish and do study and read enough. Another set of "good fellows" is the bunch at the Sangamo Club. The chief of the club is a good play and incessant joking and playing. His name is big fellow who is a "peach." His name is Arthur Clem. He was named after Chester A. Arthur. He must have been, because he is a great leader longer than the former Vice-President.

PROBE INTO NEGRO VOTE PROBABLE. Republicans Charge Intimidation and Democrats Assert Registration Was Padded—Grand Jury Investigation and Indictments Hinted at by Both Side (Special to the Freeman). ST. LOUIS, MO. — The charges emanating from various sources that colored men were imprisoned and registered for the presidential election took on a peculiar turn in this city when the Democratic city attorney was charged with the negro wards with lists of men who were supposed to possess criminal records and voting. These lists were secured by making a canvas of the negro wards records. Attorney Breckenridge Long used a corps of twenty young lawyers and peers and claims that there were 3,000 of them. The total colored registration for the city is 12,737, and the number of them is disqualified because of their police records, it will furnish a record in sociological questions; it is a serious matter to charge 25 per cent of the men of any race, in any community, Election day, as soon as a suspect showed up at the polling place and was lined up, as a result of this system 96 men were arrested charged with illegal voting, before an injunction was issued. The charges were discharged by Judge Miller without the formality of a trial. The disqualifications covered by the Democratic Party were a conviction of a felony and conviction of petit larceny. Your correspondent examined some of these lists and found that 10 percent of the prescripts covered by them fully up to the number indicated by the city committee. The Republican city committee claims that the mayor's committee has timidly to the negro voters, to cut down the normal Republican majority in the city, and threaten indictments of a mayor who has been indicted in finance. The result of the action taken by Judge Miller in discharging 96 suspects without the formality of a trial, made the impeachment against Judge Miller and Miller. Judge Kimmel issued the injunction Tuesday restraining the police from making arrests in connection with 4427 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri makes fraudulent voting a felony punishable by a five-year term imprisonment, or a fine of $50, or both. There has been no claim that colored men were brought to this city from the south for the election, here we have only the city. If men follow their present intent to thresh this matter out in the courts, out of the wieldy will issue some information of the nature of the people to who are doing all they possibly can to elevate the standard of morals and living among our people. That there are many different cities, even the large cities, there is not the slightest doubt, but when 25 per cent of the voters of the race in any community are in favor of the petty nature, it is time for the better element to demand a thorough investigation of conditions. If there is a record in all matters, and if there is even a tendency of the more illiterate to raise the ratio of the race's contribution to crime above that of other drastic means should be taken to stop it.

One of the most thoughtful journals in the country is the Torch Light, published at Danville, Ky., by Rev. W. Wood. The Torch Light is a tower of light and leading, but is a business man of enterprise, a fraternal magnate of wide influence and a poignant character in the polished affairs of the Blue Grass State. The Torch Light is forward-looking on all the questions of the hour, and is self-reliant. Dr. Wood sel it gives the Negro race on the many problems that particularly affect the paper historically. Dr. Wood's paper is courageous without being a bully and conservative without being weakhearted. The Torch Light is named and deserves the success it is acquiring among the good people of Kentucky. "The Birth of a Nation" is in hard lines and will ultimately be withheld. But the fact that it is required to fight for the little life that is left in it. Because of the sturdy and relentless warfare waged by the enemy, J. Thomas Harrison, editor of the Advocate, it was forced out of Cambridge, and relentless agitation led by Mr. Harrison was agitated when a formal protest was filed with the mayor, the license of the theater, the University of Cambridge, and Harrison in Cambridge, and Harry C. Smith in Cleveland, appear as the leaders in battles against this infamous film. No one should be permitted to rob them of the plaudits that are due them for a little manhood and rare moral courage. The published program of the Conference of Educators, to be presented at the National Training School, Durham, N. November 1988, cites that there is a fine time in prospect that the topics are widely and gingerly examined, the best thought and achievement of the race and nation, and they are the national phases with which they essay to deal. The conference will be the most significant gathering of its kind at the National Training School, Shepard, the promoter and vital force at the National Training School, merger all America for his thoughtfulness in bringing together these constructive economic forces. The program is broad, comprehensive and intensely practical. And now the new Farm Loan Board is up against the inevitable race quests of the country are to form system armers of the farm industry to form farm loan associations in order to take advantage of the terms of the farm loan agreements directed by Congress. Indications from the South are that the race line will be drawn, as the whites are stifling the blacks in the business people. He believes that supplies should follow the Bible, and in addition to providing Christian training has seen to it that food, clothing and other living comforts are given to the people he would raise. He also labored to secure adequate support for the workers in the African vineyard, and his earnest appeals for help for himself, self-sufficiency, and that have enabled the dangers of that undeveloped land to carry the torch of salvation have brought for him the work possible. However, the Baptist brethren may adjust their difficulties about personal power, property and privacy and be keen on the African job, for which he seems to have been divinely created. Whatever the warrior Baptist camps may do, nothing should be permitted in the work of redeeming Africa. This virile force for the human uplift preaches Africa, morning, noon and night, and advocates in the country to keep the needs of the "Dark Continent" and Negroes form separate associations if government plan. The Farm Loan Board is in a quandary as to what it will be made to be, and government fact. It is expected that an effort will be made to arrange for Negro associations, and it may be that the farmer is in the great educational centers of the South, like Tuskegee and Hampton, and in the negro situation. The Negro farmers can be helped by this new law and some means must be found to secure for them the benefits it would JACKSONVILLE, ILL.

It begins to look as if we might need a Booker T. Washington. The trouble about the negroes in politics is that those that think less do the most bossing. The weather is a little premature. Previous years have nearly established the rule that the cold weather wave is due about the week of Thanksgiving. Sometimes it has set in so promptly after the week that it appeared that there was an understanding between their agents. But how different this year. Times are surely out of joint with its cold wave pre-occlusions, high food prices and political disappointments to boot for some. Enough to make an individual commit hari kari. Let us learn to concede that it is an individual's own business as to how he votes. Until this is learned and respected, we are flying in the face of the thing that is one of the most important in republics. The communities of this state, also those of the country, have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to protect man in his sovereignty at the polls. It means that only the force of persuasion is to be permitted, and not threats, browbeating or intimidation of any kind. There is such a thing as kicking out of the traces of civil consideration. Lilluokalani, the famous deposed Hawaiian queen has written Secretary Daniels asking that the name of Hawaii be given one of the great battle cruisers, bids for which will be received next month. Mr. Daniels said today he would take the request under consideration. Indications are that the cruisers will be given names of famous ships of the American navy but it is possible that some vessels of another type may be named in honor of the island possessions. The queen, who a few days ago was reported to be dangerously ill seems to be alive and actively interested in the affairs of her country. A Southern publication had this to say a few days before the close of the campaign: "The race question has been raised in this campaign. Machine politicians brought the negroes back into politics in 1912. It was a bad thing for Tennessee; it was a bad thing for the negroes themselves. Every thoughtful man in the South, and who wishes well for the negroes, knows that their activity in politics is bad for them. In this campaign the more ignorant are being, manipulated by the sharper members of the race, and by some white men who do not hesitate at anything when there is a chance for victory." Of course it would not be good race policy to stand up for the spirit of the community. However, there are a few things that we all could take to heart with profit. We let the lines referred to remain a puzzle. The average member of our race needs to be atacked with the brain storm anyhow. The high price of food, while a bad thing for poor people and others, it is one more evidence of the splendid opportunities for all men in this country. The farmer this year may have raised but one-third of his average crop and yet he cannot complain of hard times, because the prices of his products make good for any shortage of crops. Negroes are hurrying to the large cities, not so much because of humiliating dependence, as it is put, but because they wish to join what they think to be the merry throngs who make a noise, see and are seen. And at the same time the products of the farm are soaring, assuring independence for those who half seek it. The farm is not the whole of life. It, nevertheless, is one of the biggest factors. It smiles and bids us come, and it's no siren, or "false lights" to deceive. It is like gold. Do what you will to it, say what you will of it, and will it be the willing, able and sure bank account when he's down and out. Our industrial salvation is largely in our own hands. This being made fast, all things else will be added unto us. The second emancipation, if it may be so called, will not come through parties, if it is to come at all. In fact, we will not see the day when there will be a millionen of the races. The most to be expected are like those relations known in the northern tier of states. Even there the negro knows that he is a negro, despite his boast that discrimination is wholly absent. There is no such place in the wide, wide world where there are the different races. The ignorant negroes think differently, and they are rightfully optimistic, thinking the day will come when race, color and so far are no bar to advancement. They are sustained by both their needs and it does good, but they are wrong just the same. We have said many times that we are not seriously inconvenienced by whatever rules and customs. The trouble is that the social and near social phases make for defective citizenship, and which is spiritual injury in the most part. We will be very wrong if we think this trouble may be traced to white men of some political party. The Republican hotel keeper is no more anxious to serve us than a Democrat hotel keeper, and yet, according to the old idea, the Republican storekeeper would freely receive our vote, and not the Democrat. Get onto that logic. We mean to say that parties have nothing to do with it. Is it plain? It is useless to talk about what they did to us long ago. Who is doing it to us now? It will be noted elsewhere in this publication that attorneys now before the Supreme Court of the United States differ in their views of the Mann "white slave" act. It is interesting to this publication because the attorneys of the defendants put forward the same argument that we did when trying to help free Jack Johnson of a charge similar to those preferred against men now before that court. We had no reason to stand for immorality even to save Jack Johnson. But it was understood that the "white slave" act was because of the traffic in girls and women, transporting them here and there for immoral purposes, the commercial phase being the thing, since it was the cause. The immoral phase was not the feature, since this did not give rise to the law. It. however, was thought too intimately associated for divorcement, perhaps, by those who have dealt with it. And it may have been necessary to include it because of the possible escape through denial of a commercial transaction. While we were trying to save our race man who was being unduly persecuted we can not see that the defense is very much out of the way when it declares the slave intent or sale was the thing struck at rather than the mere thing of immorality. While we wish our government to be chaste as possible we cannot think it meant to do more than to legislate in behalf of girls and women, innocent or otherwise, who were being hawked about the country by men and women as was the common practice. The question is, what is the law on the point? THE INDIANAPOLIS SCHOOLS. Miss Geraldine Trotter of the Boston Guardian has asked us to give her information concerning the school situation of Indianapolis. She says: "I am writing to you to get information concerning your schools, that I have been asked to provide that you have so many Colored teachers in Indianapolis I assumed you had separate schools. Now some one comes to me and asks me to mix schools in Indianapolis that Colored children and white go to school logistically and they further say that there is no friction between the races, that everything is as free in the Indiana as in Massachusetts, that there is no friction in this latter thing as in the schools as I have made certain statements concerning the schools that I would not reply to her through these columns. Perhaps many other persons would welcome the information." The schools of this city are mainly separate; they are considered so. There are several white schools attended by colored pupils in their immediate vicinities, and which pupils would find it extremely difficult to reach the colored schools. The numbers attending the white common schools are insignificant, viewed as numbers, scarcely exceeding a half dozen at any school; indeed, if there are that many. The high schools are mixed, and have always been so. White teachers only are employed in them. Colored teachers only are employed in the separate schools. Supervision of the colored schools is the same as that of the white schools. Immediate supervision of some of the colored schools is by colored teachers. There are no colored teachers in any other than distinct separate schools. There is very little race friction, but the possibility is here as it is elsewhere. The colored people carefully avoid it, knowing what it means to give cause for agitation. NOT MR. WILSON. As a Democratic President, in view of the race question, Grover Cleveland was ideal. He made it a point to stand up for Negroes, taking the high ground that they were to be buoyed up to the danger point—to the very brim of acceptableness as evidenced through the stronger and controlling sentiment of the general nation. In other words, he went as far as he dared to go in making the Negroes feel that they were a part of the country. He gave them places, sometimes important foreign missions, and in which he was not sustained by the senate. He had a definite purpose in mind, to make sure that he felt go by default. He failed in some instances to make his appointments stick, but some of them, praise to his high sense of honor, did stick. And the Negroes, until this day, have a kindly regard for his memory. Mr. Roosevelt was no less courageous than his predecessors, all of whom had their race-question troubles. But he was no less aware of the fact that something was due the Negroes as such. He became at once a just judge, allowing no consideration to move him from doing a part for the Negroes that carried with it the sense of the recognition of full citizenship. Fierce and rugged is the picture he presents today while battling the white people, as did the sole guardian of the public weak it's the man, Roosevelt, a political inspiration of the age, and who could have no part in the small, mean race affairs that has signaled Mr. Wilson's administration. Mr. Wilson is singularly blessed with a felicity of speech not common to men, and which accomplishment, he has, is not. He is said, of him, make for those rare productions among men that win the world's respect, and especially from the thoughtful, intellectual classes who see intelligence above all things that men can possess. Somehow such men are expected to stand for the humiliates. It is not surprising to find great learned men leaning towards socialism of a kind, at least to utter democracy that takes cognizance of every member of the "empire." In this respect Mr. Wilson is a sore disappointment. He has brought to the capitol the question of races, injecting it in unexpected places, thus outrunning the sentiment of the country in the matter. Grover Cleveland lost nothing in standing firmly for the Negroes. In doing so he knew that he was teaching a valuable lesson. Our race is very well acquainted with the racial situation. It knows how far the President can go without creating too dangerous situations. It knows that Mr. Wilson went out of his way to establish race lines in the capital. It knows that he was needlessly offensive when he refused to send a Negro representative at least to a Negro nation—Haiti. It knows that he could have named as many Negroes for office as Grover Cleveland, and for similar offices. All of this is indicative of a shameful meanness, and especially in view of the fact that Negro soldiers are perfectly willing to die at San Juan Hill and Carrizal that he may enjoy the white house chair with serenity and assurance. TELLING IT STRONG And then we may be getting a bit strong in our style of political campaigning. The New York Age, in a spirit of jubilation over the supposed Hughes victory, said: "We thank God that the country is saved from hypocrisy and cowardice which has characterized the government under the Wilson administration, and that the United States may now be able to place an end to the horrible place among the nations of the world; that again no one will need to apologize for bearing the title 'American Citizen.'" The New York Republic said: "From the weakness and vacillation of a discredited and disgraceful foreign policy, from the disaster of a demagogue in the White House, who has sought to set labor against capital and white against black, that he and his Southern rebel reactionaries might continue their sinister sway, the American people have been freed, that Providence has again smiled upon this republic, the American people have abundant cause for thanksgiving and gratitude. The feet of Liberty are again set in the paths provided by the fathers that this might indeed be the home of the brave and the land of the belle and the maids and daughters of Columbia rejoice." Another New York publication wages war with the South because it desires to keep the negro laborers in that section. We are also for free speech, but at the same time we are for the conventions of society and for the best reasoning possible on all important questions. The president of the United States is the result of the expression of many millions of people. Even those millions that preferred one one else for that office give in to the will of the majority, according to the written and unwritten terms of citizenship, and as a rule they are careful about how they speak of the incumbent of the presidential office. Of course, we as a race find it necessary to go further in such matters because of the peculiar offense to the race, but at that we will have to be bound by the general rules governing such situations. If not, we will surely pay the price. Radical publications will not take their cue from us, nor do we wish that distinction. But we feel to cast in our opinion, letting it go for the worth. We've got to get it out of our system. So if the worst comes we will feel that we have played the part that is assigned our publications through the racial emergency which is now on.

But if one stands flat-footed and jumps GEORGE BAKER into a barrel he has done something. He jumps in and out with the utmost ease. Baker balances, is clever at balancing. One turn is when he causes an unfolded paper to stand on his nose, and similar work. He does a bit of balancing and thenancing turn with chairs. He seems to do the impossible when he drinks a glass of soda when his head is down and he feels feet up. By the law of gravitation the soda should have gone the other way. He is the man who destroys the law of gravity. His work is not particularly thrilling but interesting and entertaining. MATT MARSHALL. FAMOUS COM EDIAN, DIES IN A NEW YORK HOSPITAL.

He was about 39 years old. It was in the old Tekin Stock Company in Chicago where Matt Marshall was sent toention after Bob Motts and J. Ed Green had decided to try him out. He was sent to the Army, and he art in a military act, which was very good but his greatest success was when he and Andrew Tribble, the famous colored girl impersonator and love flirtation. They played all the big disagreements. It was a financial difference which both actors felt and of which Marshall never completely relied on him. He doubled with Will Thomas. He also doubled with Billy Cumby, but for some reason he never knew of their well-known cleverness. His last partner was Philip Giles, who last week. Giles was compelled to leave his partner, who was too ill to work. Matt Marshall was one of his race and a laugh producer who always drew well. His quick wit action and charisma made him a royal performer together with his style of singing and in all he was original. He landed and when Tom Lemonier left New York a few weeks ago he bade Matt goodbye and asked him if he was prepared that he was prepared.

Mahoney Mobile Ministrate and Silas Green Mobile Ministrate at Greenville, Miss. (By J. M. Means.) Well, the two shows met Sunday morning at Greenville, Miss, and there was one handshaking with a friend of both show. A Buckling Parade and Concert. Well, it seemed as though both shows were waiting for one to be handed out. Then each show was at a different depot, and it was unhady to see which one would be paired that both shows must have left at the same time, only Silas Green had picked it. The other pair was paired when Mahoney's Mobile parade was sighted coming nearer and nearer, until it was time to pick it. And, believe me, those darkkeys were looking some hot and playing some music, just after receiving many hands from both white and Colored. Opening Time of Both Shows. Though With due respect to each performer and musician with Mobile Minstrels, we do not wish to cast any reflections on any of them, but we do want to make business they are, and we couldn't afford to do so, for we as performers and musicians, do anything other than looking and playing, either of these two shows. For sometimes on some shows they don't know where they play the day, but, you know, we are not good for where we go or what our manager does. But we only write what is true, bear in mind, are good for each other, we are good for each other when the managers won't have us, so let us stick together, for the managers do the same.

Eph Williams, and the turnaways looked to be 200 or 300 persons, and some Mahoney Minstrels. In all of my traveling with tent shows last night was the time to see more of the centerpiece show.

It appeared as if the whole show was a ginger Booker and I. Don Bradford, the leading ones, spared no time nor pains, and prepared themselves to the challenge. Ginger told them they were still alive and appeared that night to please their many friends, who remembered them from their last visit to their very popular musical comedy company. *Silns Green From New Orleans.* Music is Music in Greenville. Prof. A. D. King's twelve-piece band proves to be the best band they ever saw and they took the crowd like Grant did Richmond, only they left Prof Anderson's band to take the crowd like Grant did Richmond. Prof. D. King's band took 1,448 citizens of Greenville and Prof. Anderson's band took the remainder, which was some two hundred, although music is music. Ollo Wasn't Slow at All.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL NEWS TERMS ACCUMULATE IN THE FINEST WILLARD TO RETIRE AFTER YEAR IN RING. Meanwhile the Champion Wants To Take On All of Leading Heavy- weights With Only a Short Rest Between Each Two Bouts. SAN, FRANCISCO—Jess Willard, world's heavyweight champion, says he intends to stay in the fighting game for another year in the fighting business long enough I'm going to "get licked," he said. "My size won't save me. But if I am licked it won't be because I stayed in the business too long. I propose to remain in the fighting business about a year, perhaps a little longer. If they get me whipped within that time they'll be beating me to I'm not licked, and go into re- tirement. I get from me that he is no comeback. will Retire For Good. "Once I get back to the ranch it'll be good, and I can a foreigner begin to work," he said, and all the promoters, managers and newspapers in the world can hold their heads off and it will do. "Yes" put in Tom Jones, who had been quietly sitting in the office trying to get this Fred Knight fight. "You know, I said, Tom 'I'm not a robot, and also I like Frank Morales and also Ike Dorgan, but every night when I go to bed I kneel down and pray that Fulton knocked Moran out." Fulton's a better fighter than people think: he's but an inch and a half shorter, just 20 pounds difference there is in their weight, and if he stops Moran he will be somebody for Willard to fight. **After Turkey Day Go.** "I hope we can all right to fight. Willard said, 'I've got to fight. The closes circles for the season at Fort Worth, Tex., November Thanksgiving. 'Isn't it funny there are no heavyweights right there. There ought to be half dozen." "Know what I wish." That they'd dig up all that they've learned, you understand, the best there are, and let me fight them one after another. Just a few minutes, you know; and at the finish, if I went through them all, I'd retire and let the man championship, the best showing have the championship," "What we want to show," said Jones, "is to be better than that ever lived." "He's better than Jim Jeffries—better than anybody. The best product that anybody could give him a fight, and Willard has no body—unless," added Tom, trying to扑 up his break, "It's this fellow KNOX STAR BARRED ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR. Negro Halfback is Kept From Playing Pikers-Hamblin, Star of Knox College, Galesburg, III., Feared by Washington U. (By J. M. Batchman, Staff Correspondent.) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 17—When Knox College football team took the field at the Galesburg Francis field in this city last Saturday, Hamblin, the star negro halfback, was named the national vanees heralding the feats of this negro star of Knox College of Galesburg. Pikers issued an iron-clad edict against all negro athletes competing against the Hamblin has been Knox's greatest ground-gainer this season, and the Galesburg righthander Pikeyway defense. However, Edmunds wired Lee De Dray, the Knox coach, and reached an agreement with the player replaced in the lineup. The following telegram received Friday morning said: "Hamblin positively will not play Washington. He will not even make the tilt." There are three colleges in St. Louis which claim to have football teams, but they are not the best. They are than poor second-raters. It is not a disgrace to be refused to compete with a team that has not received acknowledgment of their inferiority. Mr. Hamblin has lost no prestige in the objections of the coaches and the management because the criticism because the Knox coach gave ground so easily to the detriment of his football team. He should have a little more backbone. DREW'S GOOD WORK ALWAYS MENTIONED WITH THE UT- MOST RESPECT.
