FOR PRIZEFIGHT BET

Little Rock. Ark, Dec. 30
The body of Walter Campbell, a
Negro barber, was borne to the
grave yesterday encased in the
most costly casket that the largest
local undertaking establishment
contained. The hearse was follow
ed by dozen carriages provided
by the undertaken.
JUS before the Jeffries-J johnson
fight, Campbell made bet with
the white undertaken. If Jeffries
won, Campbell was to shave the
undertaken free as long as they
both lived. If johnson won, the
undertaken was to provide an elab-
crate funeral for Campbell.
Yesterday the undertaken con-
scientiously carried out the terms
of the bet.

BROKEN MARRIAGE VOWS.

1t isn't a very difficult matter to
get married nowadays the difficulty
seems to be in making the marriage
stick. A thousand and one excuses
are given as the cause, any one of
which on the face appear sufficient.
And all this state of affairs has come
about in recent years. Our mothers
and our fathers saw in their day no
such veritable trial marriages. When
the parson tied the knot it was pulled
tight enough to last a lifetime. Today
on our court calendar there are more
divorce cases awaiting hearing than
the judges can listen to in months.
We must be living in the frivilous age
marriage, divorce, life and death are
all held lightly. A tear, o kiss and
smile, and the world moves on in the
same old way Perhaps it is that we
never know one another thoroughly
until we have lived under the same
roof with them. Yet before we bind
ourselves to life bargain it is wise,
to study the habits, disposition and
traits of our future partner and it is
only in rare cases where this cannot
be done. In other words, look well
before you leap and then only leap
after you have made up your mind
thoroughly to do as the marriage cere-
mony says-take for better or worse.
If you are unfortunate. or rather,
think you are unfortunate, make the
best OF it; don't expect to find per-
fection; you are not perfect Meet
your partner half way; you do it in
business. And above all. do not let
the courtship end after the knot is
tied Love makes the world go
around, and one never gets too old
to appreciate it. Home-what tender
thoughts come to mind with the
name! Life is what you make It;
why not make it sweet?-Chicago De-
fender.

TUSkEGEE NEGRO CONFER
ENCE.

Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.-The
annual Tuskegee Negro Conference
will be held at Tuskegee Institute,
Alabama, Wednesday, January 20,
1915. In addition to the meeting in
the Institute Chapel an agricultural
parade, to start from Millbank Agri-
cultural Building at 10 o'clock, will
feature possibilities of agriculture as
carried on by the Tuskegee Institute,
and the farm demonstration work of
the national government. A series of
contrasts will indicate the agriculture
of the past with the present. A be-
ginning in this direction was made
last year, but the parade for 1915
promises to be more thoroughly in
structive and will included in last
years parade.
The conference program has been
arranged with special reference to as
sisting the Negro farmers to get in a
position SO that they can best cooper
ate with the agencies which are
working to improve farming and fl
nancial conditions in the South.
The morning session of the confer
ence will be held at IL o'clock in the
chapel, and the subject decided upon
for discussion is "How Am Meeting
the Present Hard Times"

made his report to Congress, stat
ing that there is 81, 735 OF cash on

gress voted the controller as COM

The following Editorial appear
ed in the Topeka Plaindealer,
December 25th. Editor Childs
shows what effect prohibition has
had on the State of Kansas:
We don't know why so many
people are spending SO much time
in an endeavor to make other peo-
ple be good and have not the time
to see into their own faults, All
attempts to enact laws to make
people good are being advocated
by class of people who are ten
fold worse in some other way than
are the people they seek to make
good from error of their way. The
prohibition question has waxed
warm now for several years and
the men and women foremost in
the ranks of prohibition are first
water cranks and are duping mil
lions of dollars from the common
people and are thereby enriching
themselves at the expense OF their
victims. These people who seek
to make the others good are found
among the drinking class, the
gambling class, the seducer class
the robbing class. the bootlegglng
class, the church hypocrite; the
men who think no more OF destroy
ing woman virtue than hog does
of eating corn; the women who
pander virtue for the greed of H.
nancial gain; all these and more
who can see no harm in their own
manner of living, but have keen
ewes for the fellow who cannot at
ford to have we'll stocked cellar
at home, but has to go to the saloon.
IF the saloon was the only evil in
the land, we could say we were
blessed But the fullnesses of the
penal institutions, the almshouses
and insane asylums tend to put
the lie to this claim. The land is
reeking with adulterers and the
slums are being increased in popu-
lation each year by that class of
people, who sin in secret, while In
the open they are making grand
stand plays to reform men and wo-
men, morally more pure than they
are. In the great debate in Con-
eress on the prohibition, one man
said; Whatever prohibition oo-
tained, it had multiplied insanity
by driving men and women from
drink 10 DOPE" and that man must

Memphis, Tenn Dec. 21.-Mr.
A. Fl. Jennings, a wealthy white
man of Lucy, Tenn. gave his en-
tire property, valued at one hun
dred thousand dollars, to colored
people. The case is regarded as
being very remarkable, and some
express the thought that the de-

the Republican National Commit
tee Is out in an interview in which
he thinks the Republican party
will recover the presidency and
both branches of Congess in 1916,
andsgives figures, based upon the
rett rms of the last elections, to
prove his claim. He also thinks
the sariff legislation of the Wilson
administration, and other extraor-
dinfry tax legislation, will decide
the result in favor of the Republi-
can party. He thinks that Louis
lana. which has been hit hard in
its sugar interests, may come. over
on the Republican side. Chair
man Hills evidently hopes the
way he figures.
There is good grounds for be-
lieving that the Democratic party
will not get four more years of
power. Republican gains in the
last November elections were so
great and sweeping as not only to
upset me calculations and hopes
of the Democratic administration,
but to sweep the Progressive party
off the political map Pennsyl.

does, lest the political servant for

Instead of expecting and pre-

the leaders of tho Republican

The Afro-American people ev-

in THE Boss. - Unques tionably,
The Boss. a William A. Brady
drama, is one of the strongest World
Film productions released in some
time. The plot of the story concerns
Michael Regan, the man who uses
brute strength to fight his way to the
top, and Emily Griswold, the girl he
marries the sequel of dramatic scenes
is clear and interesting. In the role
of The Boss, Holbrook Blinn makes
his first screen appearance. The
power that he knows so well how to
suggest on the stage is equally evil
dent in his portrayal of The Boss"
He is forceful in the extreme, early
in the picture he convincingly estab-
fishes the vulgarity, the strength and
the ambition of the domineering Irish
man, who sees no rason why he should
not make fortune and at the same
time marry the daughter of the man
he sets out to ruin. Emily marries
him to save her father and then, hav-
ing paid the price, as she reckoned
it, there comes the inevitable conflict
between husband and wife, separated
by all the instincts of breeding and
caste. The great point about this play
is that it grips you. Its action is un-
marred by many Interruptions and it
flows smoothly and most believably
along. Alice Brady, in the role of the
slf-sacrificing wife, has great nppor-
tunity to display her emotional ability.

The old idea of raising big rumpus
