He will thus confer upon Mr. Lewis the highest official position ever conferred upon a colored man by the federal government. The assistant attorney general assists in the argument of cases before the supreme court and in the preparation of legal opinions. HON. WILLIAM H. LEWIS. Many of the most important and intricate assignments fall to the hands of the assistants, and in the course of their work they are frequently brought into contact with senators, members of congress and barristers of prominence who have business with the department of justice. It will thus be seen that the proposed appointment is one of the utmost responsibility and far out of the ordinary run of positions usually accorded to our race. It is expected that the name of Mr. Lewis will be sent to the senate shortly after the opening of the congressional session in December. The president is being warmly congratulated upon all sides by the colored press and public for his generosity in giving the race such honorable recognition, and there is no doubt that his hold upon the respect and confidence of the rank and file of the colored people of the country has been greatly strengthened. The competency of Mr. Lewis is conceded by the most eminent lights at the American bar. Polished in manner, eloquent of voice and chaste in language, he has few peers as a pleader, and in the preparation of cases his is a master hand.

In both offices he made an enviable record. He was appointed assistant district attorney by ex-President Roosevelt in 1903, and some of the most difficult cases known to the department have been ably disposed of by him. In one significant instance he received the thanks of Chief J. E.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., NOVEMBER 25, 1910. NEGRO KNIFER IS CONVICTED. Jury Finds John Jones Guilty of Man slaughter. After being out for an hour and a half, the jury in the case of John Jones, a negro, on trial for the killing of Roy Jeffries, also a negro, 55 Holden street, on the night of Sept. 18 in a pool room at 725 Washington avenue south, returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the first degree. The crime was committed during a quarrel. Jeffries, his brother and another man entered the pool room and were using profane language, not noticing the presence of a woman who had accompanied Jones into the place. Jones took umbrage at the remarks and a fight resulted, during which Jones stabbed his adversary in the groin. Jeffries died shortly afterward at the City hospital from loss of blood. The punishment for manslaughter in the first degree is from five to 20 years in the state penitentiary. Sentence will be pronounced by Judge Holt, before whom the case was tried, within a day or two. Taking into consideration the desperate character of the defendant, the weapon used, the fact that nearly all the witnesses testified that he had his weapon ready for use and threatened to use it, before the affray; the fact of his subsequent flight, and resistance to the officers, and their testimony against him, Jones has the right to be thankful for the able and earnest efforts put forth by his counsel to save his neck, as he was indicted for murder in the first degree, and the Court charged for murder in the first and second degrees, and for manslaughter in both degrees, and acquittal. Attorney's Geo. H. Jackson and Wm. H. H. Franklin appeared for Jones. NEGROES GIVEN. SANATORIUM. NEGROES GIVEN SANATORIUM. Colorado Springs, Col., Nov. 22.—James K.

JUDGE UPHOLDS SUPREME LAW THE TWO STATES IN QUESTION Scheme to Disfranchise the Colored Citizens of Annapolis, Md., Given Black Eye by Justice Thomas J. Morris, Who Bases His Decision on the Fifteenth Amendment. The United States circuit courts for Maryland and Oklahoma have each recently passed upon disfranchisement laws aimed at the Negro. The court in Maryland dealt a stunning blow to the scheme to disfranchise the colored voters of the state, particularly so in Annapolis, where registration was refused colored men under the "grand father" clause in the election laws for Annapolis. The court also rendered an elaborate opinion in which the Negro's right to vote under the fifteenth amendment was upheld. The Oklahoma case was the result of the recently adopted constitutional amendment which disfranchises 14,000 voters in that state. The case in Maryland was brought by three colored men, William H. Howard, J. B. Anderson and Alexander G. Brown, damned for big deeded registration. The defendant's counsel brought a demurrier to the suit, which was overruled by Judge Thomas J. Morris in a decision which squares faces the question of race disfranchise. Judge Morris in his decision said: "It is supposeable that a property qualification might, in fact, result in some localities from an educational test, and it could not be said, although that was the result intended, that it was a discrimination on account of race or color, but would be referable to a different test. By looking at the constitution and laws of Maryland prior to Jan. 1, 1860, how it can be said with show of reason that any but the white man could vote then, and how can the court colce its eyes to the obvious fact that it is for that reason solely that the test is inserted in the Maryland acts? "The fifteenth amendment provides "expressly that all citizens of the United States otherwise qualified should be entitled and allowed to vote at all elections in any state, territory, county, city, without distinction of race or color, any constitution, law, custom, state of origin, any state to the contrary notwithstanding." The Oklahoma case was an application for a writ of injunction of Daniel Simons of Guthrie restraining an election official from denying him the right to vote. In deciding against Mr. Simons the court said: "It is ordered that the application for an interlocutor injunction be and the same is hereby denied, not on the ground that section 4 of article 3 of the constitution of Oklahoma at the election in August, 1910, is not in violation of the constitution of the United States, but on the sole ground that, although the complainant may have a remedy at law in this court for the deprivation of his vote, this court has no jurisdiction in equity to grant him the relief he seeks from the threatened deprivation of that right under the decision of the United States supreme court in Giles versus Harson, 189 U. S., 475." The decision by the Maryland judge will be taken to the highest court in the land, and, as judge Morris has been seldom reversed, the whole question assumes a phase of disfranchisement with the wishes of the bourbon south. The Oklahoma decision is along the line of the usual evasive way the United States courts have had in deciding similar actions. **Beight Outlook For Virginia Seminary.** Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, Va., starts off with a large enrollment of students and a well balanced faculty this term.

FIRST UNIVERSAL RACE CONGRESS Important Event to Occur In London In July, 1911. A GREAT OPEN PARLIAMENT. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Perhaps the greatest event of the twenthe century, so far as the colored races are concerned, will be the first universal race congress, which will meet at the University of London, London, England, July 26, 29, 1911. The president of the congress is the Right Hon. Lord Weardale, the chairman of the general committee is Professor Felix Adler of New York and the general secretary Gustav Spiller of London, who has been visiting the United States. As Mr. Spiller said, "The object of the congress is to discuss in the light of modern knowledge and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, between so called white and so called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier cooperation." Judging from the reactionary tone in America one would expect that such a congress would receive scant welcome in the world, but this is not so. The congress has received hearty support from hundreds of influential men. Among those who are backing the project are many members of the permanent court of arbitration, a majority of the delegates to the second Hague conference, twelve British governors, eight PROFESSOR W. E. B. DUBOIS. British premiers, more than forty colonial bishops, some 130 professors of international law, many well known anthropologists and sociologists and a majority of the council of the inter-parliamentary union. In this congress each race will be asked to speak for itself and to speak frankly, and the speeches will be issued in a bound volume before the congress convenes. The first speaker will be an East Indian, the next two will be German and French scientists and the fourth the general secretary, Mr. Spiller, who will speak on the problem of race equality. The next session will be taken up in discussions of the general conditions of progress, and there will be heard such scientists as Sergi and Denker on conditions of racial progress. These sessions will be continued Thursday morning with papers from China, Japan, Turkey, Persia, India, Egypt and Haiti. Then there will come a series of papers on the peaceful contact between civilizations and on problems of interracial economics. The American Negro, however, will be mostly interested in the sessions of Friday, when the vital question of the modern conscience in relation to racial questions will come up. Israel Zangwill will speak for the Jews, Sir Charles Dilke will speak for forced labor, Dr. Blyden will speak on West Africa, Dr. E. B. on the Negro in the American Indian, Dr. Eastman on the American Indian and Mr. Jabavo on the South African native. Two secretaries for America have been appointed—the Rev. Frederick J. Lynch and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Dr. Dulbos is specially concerned with around interest among colored people. He plans to organize a select committee of leading colored people, who are going to be asked to attend the congress in person. Of course all others who wish may attend, but it is particularly desired that the attendance shall be representative. Interesting articles on the race's congress have appeared in the Review of Reviews, New York Independent and the New York Evening Post. The Ethical World says: "For every day a man who is a citizen simply minked into the white, black and yellow families. All history tells the tale of their wars and feaulouses, and later history also tells the tale of a dawning sense of oneness. --- DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Scheme to Disfranchise the Colored Citizens of Apollis, Md., Given Black Eye by Justice Thomas J. Morris, Who Bases His Decision on the Fifteenth Amendment. The United States circuit courts for Maryland and Oklahoma have each recently passed upon disfranchisement laws aimed at the Negro. The court in Maryland dealt a stunning blow to the scheme to disfranchise the colored voters of the state, particularly so in Annapolis, where registration was refused fathered men under the "grandfather" clause in the election laws for Annapolis. The court also rendered an elaborate opinion in which the Negro's right to vote under the fifteenth amendment was upheld. The Oklahoma case was the result of the recently adopted constitutional amendment which disfranchises 14,000 voters in that state. The case in Maryland was brought by three colored men, William H. Howard, J. B. Anderson and George Brown, claiming damages for being denied registration. The defendant's counsel brought a demurrier to the suit, which was overruled by Judge Thomas J. Morris in a decision which squares the question of race disfranchisement. Judge Morris in his decision said: "It is supposable that a property qualification might, in fact, result in some localities in all Negroes being excluded, and the same might be the result in some localities from an educational test, and it could not be said, although that the result is indeed, that was a discrimination on the basis of race or color, but would be referable to a different test. By looking at the constitution and laws of Maryland prior to Jan. 1, 1898, how it can be said with any show of reason that any but the white man could vote then, and how can the court colse its eyes to the obvious fact that it is for that reason solely that the test is inserted in the Maryland acts? "The fifteenth amendment provides expressly that all citizens of the United States otherwise qualified should be entitled and allowed to vote at all elections in any state, territory, county, city, without distinction of race or color, any constitution, law, custom, usage or regulations of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. The Oklahoma case was an application of Daniel Simons of Guthie restraining an election official from denying him the right to vote. In deciding against Mr. Simons the court said: "It is ordered that the application for an interlocutor injunction be and the same is hereby denied, not on the ground that section 4 of article 3 of the constitution of Oklahoma at the election in August, 1910, is not in violation of the constitution of the United States, but on the sole ground that, although the complainant may have a remedy at law in this court for the deprivation of his vote, this court has no jurisdiction in equity to grant him the relief he seeks from the threatened deprivation of that right under the decision of the United States supreme court in Giles versus Harris, 188 U. 8., 475." The decision by the Maryland judge will be taken to the highest court in the land, and, as Judge Morris has been seldom reversed, the whole question of Negro disfranchisement may assume a phase at variance with the wishes of the bourbon south. The Oklahoma decision is along the line of the usual evasive way the United States courts have had in deciding similar actions. Bright Outlook For Virginia Seminary.

FIRST UNIVERSAL RACE CONGRESS Important Event to Occur In London In July, 1911. A GREAT OPEN PARLIAMENT. By N. BARNETT DODSON By N. BARNETT DODSON. Perhaps the greatest event of the twentieth century, so far as the colored races are concerned, will be the first universal race congress, which will meet at the University of London, London, England, July 26-29, 1911. The president of the congress is the Right Hon. Lord Weardale, the chairman of the general committee is Professor Felix Adler of New York and the general secretary Gustav Spiller of London, who has been visiting the United States. As Mr. Spiller said, "The object of the congress is to discuss in the light of modern knowledge and the modern conscience the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the west and those of the east, between so called white and so called colored peoples, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, the most friendly feelings and a heartier cooperation." Judging from the reactionary tone in America, one would expect that such a congress would receive scant welcome in the world, but this is not so. The congress has received hearty support from hundreds of influential men. Among those who are backing the pro-immigration movement, the court of arbitration, a majority of the delegates to the second Hague conference, twelve British governors, eight M. PROFESSOR W. E. B. DUOIS. British premiers, more than forty colonial bishops, some 130 professors of international law, many well known anthropologists and sociologists and a majority of the council of the inter-parliamentary union. In this congress each race will be asked to speak for itself and to speak frankly, and the speeches will be issued in a bound volume before the congress convenes. The first speaker will be an East Indian, the next two will be German and French scientists and the fourth the general secretary, Mr. Spiller, who will speak on the problem of race equality. The next session will be taken up in discussions of the general conditions of progress, and there will be heard such scientists as Sergi and Deniker on conditions of racial progress. These sessions will be continued Thursday morning with papers from China, Japan, Turkey, Persia, India, Egypt and Haiti. Then there will come a series of papers on the peaceful contact between civilizations and on problems of interracial economics. The American Negro, however, will be mostly interested in the sessions of Friday, when the vital question of the modern conscience in relation to racial questions will come up. Israel Charles Dike will speak for the Jewish Charles Dike will speak for forced labor. Dr. Bryden will speak on West Africa, Dr. DuBois on the Negro in America, Dr. Eastman on the American Indian and Mr. Jabavo on the South African native. Two secretaries for America have been appointed—the Rev. Frederick J. Lynch and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Dr. DuBois is specially concerned with arousing interest among colored people. He plans to organize a select committee of leading colored people, who are going to be asked to attend the congress in person. Of course all others who wish may attend, but it is particularly desired that the attendance shall be represented. Interesting articles in the race's congress in the Review of Reviews, New York Independent and the New York Evening Post. The Ethical World says: "For every day purposes we may conveniently divide mankind into the white, black and yellow families. All history tells the sad tale of their wars and jealousies, and later history also tells the tale of a dawning sense of oneness. --- NEWS OF A WEEK IN CONDENSED FORM RECORD OF MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS TOLD IN BRIEFEST MANNER POSSIBLE.

COUNT COUNT TOLSTOI IS BURIED WISH OF WRITER THAT GRAVE BE UNDER "POVERTY OAK" IS CARRIED OUT; NEAR THE TOMB OF TOY HORSE In Childhood He Interred Plaything There.—Thousands Go In Special Trains to Attend the Funeral. Tula, Nov. 23.—For twenty-four hours special trains arrived at Zaeeca, the railway station near Yasnaya Poliana estate, bearing delegation to the funeral of Count Leo Tolstel. Students from Moscow occupied twenty-three coaches. Following Tolstel's written request his grave has been made under "poverty oak," in the spot "where in childhood we buried a green rocking horse." This reference was to an episode in the early life of Tolstel and his brothers, who, with childish rites conceived, of the earth a hobby book, the belief that when it was disinterred a reign of happiness would be inaugurated. The novelist often referred to the disposition of his body, and in directions left specified explicitly that the ceremony incident thereto should be "of the simplest without the rites of the orthodox church."

Nov. 23—Lack of evidence against them caused Judge Walt Erans to dismiss 125 alleged night riders who were defendants in damage suits aggregating $200,000. Former county Judge C. W. Rucker, who was whipped and driven out of Eddyville by alleged night riders and who sued for $20,000, recovered $7,000 from D. A. Amos. An East Indian Verdict. In a case in one of our Indian courts a jury had before it evidence that could not be in any way shaken. When the concluding stage had been reached the following interchange of conversation took place between the judge and his colleagues in the administration of justice: "Gentlemen, are you ready to give your verdict?" "Yes." "What is your verdict?" "Our answer is, air, that you can do RETAIL FIGURES IN CHICAGO DROP TWO CENTS. The Festive Turkey Gobbler is Six Cents on Thanksgiving Chicago, Nov. 23.—The Chicago consumer for the first time feels the benefit of the recent much heralded reduction in the price of meat. Various retailers have marked down their prices on beef, mutton, and pork from $1/2 cent to 2 cents a pound, following the announcement of the packers that a similar cut had been made in wholesale prices. Some markets declined to meet the cut, declaring they had not yet been given any reduction in the wholesale prices, but prominent retailers predicted at from 18 to 21 cents were raised a few days. While meat prices came down turkey prices went up. Turkies quoted at from 18 to 21 cents Monday were to 24 cents. Meat upon which the price was reduced sold as follows: pork spare ribs, 12 to 15 cents; pork loins, 12½ to 14 cents; pork tenderloins, 20 to 25 cents; dressed beef, No. 1 cut, 15 to 17 cents; beef ribs, No. 1 cut, 12 to 14 cents; beef ribs, No. 2 cut, 10 to 11½ cents; mutton legs, 10 cents. Low Prices Are Varied. Prices in different sections of the city varied, but the prices were generally lower. Where pork tenderloins had been selling for 22 cents, they sold for 20 cents, and where they had been selling for 37 cents they sold for 35 cents. Following the announcement that the price of meat was going down and protest because there was danger the county contracts would be let at high prices the county board announced the meat situation would be investigated before the contracts were let. Bids which had been submitted to the board were found in many instances to be higher than last year on the same articles, although the wholesale prices were supposed to have been reduced. When this was pointed out the board rejected the bids and postponed the letting of the contracts.

Schurz Was Sure of Him Carl Schurz was dining one night with a man who had written a book of poems, so called, and who was pleased with himself. The poet was discoursing on the time-worn topic of politics of the men who take office. "I consider politics and politicians beneath my notice," he said. "I do not care for office. I wouldn't be a senator or cabinet officer, and I doubt if I could be tempted by the offer of the presidency. For the matter of that, I would rather be known as a third-rate poet than a first-rate statesman." "Well, aren't you?" Schurz shouted at him. Mixing His Dates. There is a story of a man who was so transported with joy as he stood up at the altar rail to be married, that his thoughts reverted to a day when he stood up at the prisoner's bar in a court of justice to plead "gulty" or "not guilty" to a criminal charge. So powerfully did that, the most painful event of his life, obtrude itself upon his mind, that when the clergyman put the question, "What will this be to be the wedding wife?" and so on, the poor distracted bridegroom answered with starling distinctness, "Not guilty, so help me God!"—From Tuckerman's "Personal Recollections."

LIGHT PLAYERS IN DEMAND Gridiron Stars Need Not Possess Great Weight, as Agility and Speed Figure in Contests. Light, feet-footed backs are in demand this year for all the college football teams. Under the new rules the light player has at last come into his own. This does not mean that the back field can be composed of men in the lightweight class. But the day of the ponderous, heavy backs seems to be a thing of the past. A player weighing from 150 to 180 pounds has the call for the positions this year. The abolishment of the sturdy, catapult type of back is due to the change in the rules dealing with the old style of line plunging play. No longer is it legal for the human battering-ram to hurl three or more men as interference at an opposing line. Mass play has been effectually abolished. And so the character of the game has undergone a great change from the days of the flying wedge. That the big college teams realize the futility of playing heavy men in the back field is shown by the number of shifts made this year. The heavy men had their try-outs early in the season and they failed to make as much headway as the lighter players. In some cases the experiment proved rather costly. Harvard was one of the first to realize the value of light men in the back field. Evidence of this was the blunt, not the slim, and the back of last year was shifted to a place in the line. Minot's plunges through opposing lines last season netted the Crimson many big gains, but with the restrictions on this style of play this season the coaches decided he would be more valuable on the line. Later in the year Princeton made a similar shift. Captain Eddie Hart, reckoned in the country, was taken out of the back field after the Lafayette game and placed in the line. In the game with Carlisle Hart more than won his spurs as an aggressive line man. He opened up some big gaps for the backs to tear through. Coach Ted Coy of Yale was another football director to startle the ex perts when he placed Howe in at full back. Last season Howe was the choice for quarter back and it was expected he would play that position this year. He is heavy enough under the new rules, but he does not measure up in weight by many pounds to some of the old-time full backs. Perhaps the forward pass had had much to do with giving the light men their opportunity. Surely that, coupled with the necessity of end runs, has worked a big change in the complexion of the attack. To be successful the forward pass must be hurled and received by a player quick on his feet, one able to get started with the ball at top speed. While lacking in concentration of attack and a bit weak on the defense, Princeton has one of the fastest back fields in the country. Sparks, Pendleton and Ballou make up a combination hard to beat. Pendleton is counted one of the best runners in a broken field of recent years, and Sparks shows plenty of dash in his attempts to skirt the ends. Ballou is fast on his feet and at the same time an able punter. Against Houser of Carlisle he made an excellent showing, outkicking the Indian by many yards. Nor are the Tigers without their usual drop kicker. Pendleton has acquitted himself well in the early games and seems capable of dropping the ball over the cross bar from any point almost within the 40-yard line. The list of star Princeton kickers is a long one. Somehow Nassau secures a good goal kicker almost every year. While Harvard has been rolling up big scores on its opponents Yale and Princeton have not been doing so well. Yale was scored on by Syracuse, beaten by the Army and held to a no score tie by Vanderbilt. Princeton started off well enough by scoring 18 points on Stevens, but only managed to score 12 on New York university. Villa Nova was easy for the Orange and Black, but the Tigers barely won by a score of 3 to 0 over Lafayette. They defeated the Indians, 6 to 0. DEATH NOT DUE TO FOOTBALL Autopsy Reveals Real Cause of Freshman's Demise at Cornell—Died of Heart Disease. That Lauren B. Paine of Duluth, the freshman who died at Cornell infirmary the other night, did not die from injuries sustained in football practice was made known after an autopsy upon the body by Dr. Charles A. Bentz, the Buffalo pathologist. The findings confirmed the opinion of the football coaches and others connected with the game and removes all doubts as to the playing of the balance of the scheduled year. The findings are contained in the following telegram sent by President J. G. Schurman to Franklin Paine, the boy's father: "Dr. Bentz of Buffalo made a postmortem examination and has just submitted to me the following signed report: 'From the findings it is my opinion that the patient died of unavoidable acute dilatation of the heart, associated with arterial disease and a gastro entero colitis. There was no evidence of anything due to football injury. The gastro entero colitis was the most important cause of the dilatation.' I should add that Dr. Bentz is a member of the department of pathology of the University of Buffalo and has made thousands of autopsies." A Bishop's Opinion of Football. In a recent sermon on football Bishop Candler of the Southern Methodist church said: The bottom truth in the matter is that the element of brutality at which so many new rules have been aimed is one of its chief attractions, and an effort at the elimination of this element would mean elimination of the game. There are some things which cannot be reformed without the death of them because the heart of their life is the evil. This is the case of football. It is inherently and incurably bad. TWIN CITY STAR.

DFFENSE WINS MANY GAMES Football Teams With Strong Plays and Men to Use Them Score Victories-Yost Sees Error: Football teams that have developed a strong offense loom up as the contenders for championship honors throughout the country. Those which have striven to perfect a defense, without paying extraordinary attention to the offense ammended by the new rules, are making only a poor showing and the coaches are beginning to realise that an eleven without a great number of plays and men back of the line will work their best in no shape to claim titles. In the words of ar old football player, "A strong defensive team may tie a great many games, but it takes an eleven with a strong offense to win." Michigan is one of the most prominent schools in which too much attention has been paid to the defense to the neglect of the offense. Coach Yost has been working all year with three games in view, says a writer in the Chicago Daily News. His schedule has been particularly hard—Notre Dame, Pennsylvania and Minnesota, the three strongest teams on the list, following each other on successive Saturdays. His early games have been practice affairs and against schools which in previous years had always been beaten by his eleven by overwhelming scores. In coaching his team Yost has been particular to build up a defense capable of taking care of his three strongest opponents while letting his offense go until just before his big games. In this way he has prevented his opponents from gaining much ground against his team, as is shown in the games in which the Wolverine eleven has participated. The Ann Arbor goal line has never been in danger of a touchdown and no team thus far has been in danger of a touchdown in Michigan. The sum total of the gains in the three games played so far this season would be considerably less than 70 yards. In spite of this, Michigan has won only one of its three games, defeating the Michigan Aggies by the narrow margin of 6 to 3, while both Case and Ohio State have secured 2-3 to 3 tie scores. While this shows the opposing teams could not gain against Michigan and were unable to score by running the ball, it is equal proof that the Wolverine offense was even weaker than that of its opponents, for the Michigan backs were not obliged to work against so strong a defense and yet were unable to score. Yost, according to critics, has taken a slow way to develop his team, but that lately great improvement may be seen. He will be forced to teach his men a number of offensive plays to cope with the Syracuse eleven Saturday and there is no doubt expressed that he will have a greatly improved offensive eleven on the field when he takes on the easterners. Minnesota is an example of a team that has taken up the work of strengthening the offense to the neglect of the defense. From the start of the season Coach Williams men began to reel off intricate plays based upon the new rules and the men were taught something new each week. The Gophers have rolled up overwhelming scores against their opponents and it is on these scores that the followers of the conference eleven base their hopes of a victory for Minnesota over the Gophers in 19. Playing teams not in its class, the Gophers' defense was found strong enough to prevent any score being made against it, although considerably more ground has been gained against the conference eleven than against Michigan, in spite of the difference in the scores. In developing a strong offense the line is the first consideration for the coaches. In spite of the talk at the start of the season about fast backs and trick plays it has been found by nearly all instructors that the strength of a team lies in the strength of its forwards. Thus the linemen have come in for more than their share of coaching on the offensive side of the game and more stress is being laid upon this as the season progresses. It has been proved that the greatest back field in the world cannot score when the forward line is weak. The University of Chicago team has a back field second to few in the West and yet on account of the weakness of the Maroons' forwards the Midwayttes have been beaten by teams they were better than theirs which were better than theirs and they were lucky to get away with the Northwestern game, although the Purple backs were weaker. Chicago is not an isolated instance of this. The same state of affairs is to be found throughout the country. Much of the ground-gaining ability of teams this year depends on trick plays and on the forward pass. In both instances a strong line is needed in order to give the back-field men time to work out the intricate formations. The forwards must hold the defensive team back long enough for the men carrying the ball to complete their plays and this must be for a considerably longer time than was the case under the old rules. Trick plays, although they seem fast and snappy to the spectators, take a much longer time to execute than simple ones, and the forwards must be taught and must have the ability to hold just so much longer. Stolen Bases Are Fatal. It was a stolen base by Dougherty in 1906 that upset the Cubs, proving Kling be outguessed. It was a stolen base by Collins that sent the Cub machine into the air and crumple the Cub defense in the second game. Boy Killed In Football.

Generals are so thick in Haiti the absent ones will scarcely be missed—Duluth Herald. Many generals and few gunboats have resisted the attacks of such Na- tions as France and Germany--and there are no records where foreign invasion upon their territory has proved successful. Toulssant L/Overture, and his pa- trlotle followers, blasted the one ambt- tion of Naboleon, after he had sacrl- ficed the “flower of the French army” to subdue them. His only revenge was the Imprisonment of the greatest general of the world. ‘Today Haytl represents the “Little Black Republic,” and the posterity of Toulssant. They are all generals. Not the goldlaced, tin-soldiered Sous of the Sons of the Revolution—but each and every one a decendent of the Last Legion of L’Overture, who resisted oppression and founded a Re- public which stood for centuries. Negroes should mourn the loss of the crew of the Haytian gunboat, as well as the crew of the Maine. We were represented in both, and we respect their memory. SEGREGATION OF VICE. The authorities are in a dilemma over the conditions caused by the evacuation of the Red Light district, last April, and are about to choose the lesser of the two necessary evils. ‘The “birds of passage” have flown to the various parts of the city and bave been found nestling comfortably te our respectable suburbs, Heretofore there was a district which was known to be Inhabited by this class. But radical reformers and mission workers fnaugurated a crusade and scattered this vice to all parts among all people. Now that, they bave realised. that ““ogregation of vice is, necessary’, and jthat It Is better to let “birds of Heather flock together, for the good of ‘the community. ‘They have come tc | the conclusion that vice can be sup Dressed but not eliminated.

ING OF THE UNIT OF THE RACE. From the Reformer, Richmond, Va. ‘There is a crying need in the city of Richmond, Va,, for some method or means to put an end to youthful tm morality—youthful _obstreperousness. Boys at the age of twelve are men. Girls at the age of twelve are women, and grown up old men and women recognize these midgets as men and women. We were walking along the street the other day and saw a little girl coming up the street. The gir! was of robust physique and in short ‘skirts. She was, to appearance, a well-raised child and we considered her as such, Cotncidentally, she turned Into the same street in which we turned. Before us, going in the opposite direction, were two young ‘men apparently of good raising, well dressed and comely lads they were. But their conduct belied thelr looks. ‘This fact, thelr language to the child woman attested. ‘The conduct of the trlo was such as would pain the heart of any student of conditions as relate to our race. Now possibly, all three of these children—for children they would have, in other days than these, been considered—may have been saved to the race if some means of restraint had been brought to bear to have impressed them of the folly of their way and the ultimate end of thelr cultivated methods. Now, this is but one Illustration of what really exists in this and other cities. It is a shame that should be publicly condemned by all decent peo- ‘ple, that grown-up men hang around and “chin” little girls who, of a right should at the time be kneeling by the knees of their mothers saying thelr, “Now 1 lay me down to sleep.” But the men are not alone to be condemn- ed. For the women, too, line up with the boys yet in their “teens” and al: low them privileges that even men should not be allowed. They make of these boys men aforetime, and thus issue them Into avenues which bring senility of youth and consequently, sterility of age—a fine process of mur dering both the present and future generation of placing upon the latter the brand of Imbecility and worthless ness. Under these conditions the race cannot develope into men and women strong of character and of mind, no! powerful of body. This should be : matter of grave concern to every Ne gro-who has the future of the race a heart. Parents should place the “lid down tighter upon their children ‘They should restrict thelr outgoing and thelr tncomings. They shoul regulate the conduct of the youth wit ie cham reruns Tey shou be careful of the company thelr chi dren keep. This should be the poin through whiéh a social division shoul be drawn. Privilege should be base upon worth fn morals and not upoi color or creed. For that peopte wi most effectually Inherit the earth wh¢ in protection of the virtue of thel women and of their boys and girl build the strongest fences. Therefor put the boot to the idler, the “dude, the worthiess plotter against th hearth and home around which and i which the jewels of the family clrcl —the comely girls and the man| boys, who are the future of the rac and the perpetuators of our hope o the yet to be—The Reformer. ‘Men and women of originality are most needed in the world today. It Is not enough for you and me to know how things were done a hundred years ago. We must be alert to devise or discover new methods by which these same things may be accom: plished today more quickly and easily, wiah less expense. This applies to our own rehabilitation when we tumble nut of our wonted spheres. ‘The best advertisement | 29 one that gets the most business, of course.

We are glad to know that Pres. Taft has at last decided to give our race such high-class representation. We have no criticism of the appointees knowing that these representatives sive credit to our race, and while it is gratifying to know that we are “fed on soft corn” the Negro will not prove ungratefal, But will never again “lick the hand that smites him.” Influence of 6.
