The Real Freedom

"If this celebration shall mean this
to us, then long we shall have oc-
casion to shout free at last. This Is
the only kind of blow that we may
strike which will mean liberty and
freedom. 1t is in this way, and in this
way only, will the negro in America
ever be free. Let us first free the
white man from the impressions we
made on him under vicious leadership
of false friends, and then we may hope
for him to free us from the bonds
which our own hands have welded
about our feet. And not until that day
arrives can we have an emancipation
celebration that will mean anything.
LET us regain the love which we
forfeited for the few political husks
on which we fed, and that love will
make us free. At present / think W.,
are foolish for celebrating an event
which has meant nothing to us but
humiliation, persecution and aliena-
ton, degradation, obloquy, scorn and
contempt. We are celebrating an
event that has never taken place, and
you know it as we'll as l. But some
things did take place on that memo
rable first day of January. The ruined
Southern white man gave us homes
and food. He fed us when hungry

DEATH TAKES Tolls OF nine LIVES DURING
the FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1915
Nina young lives wore snutfed

Nine young lives were snuffed
out on the gridiron this season.
Nine American youths, rang
ing in age from L; To- 81 years,
were either killed outright while
ut play or suffered injuries til:it
resulted In death.
Many others were hirt 30 they
will be marked or crippled for
life.
Last year the death toll in foot
ball was 15. The difference may
be the result OF changes In the
rules, but that is doubtful since
most deaths occur in games
where minute details of rules are
liable to be overlooked.
None of the deaths this season
occurred to members Of the big,
well trained college elevens. in
most cases the players were meIn-
bers of high school, amateur or
independent teams where there
Is little or no system Of physical
training. Some of the deaths,
it is certain, would have occurred
even II the players had trained to
the minute.

Attorney-AthIete Would Put School
Sports Onsa More Competitive Basis

Advocates of competitive ath-
letics in the Tacoma schools will
have a representative in the
school board next year IL Frank
G. Riley, Tacoma attorney and
prominent athlete, 10 successful
in his campaign for school dlrec-
tor. Riley launched an earnest
fight for the place this week.
Because of his long experience
in athletic events, and his own
success with physical training,
the attorney is laying particular
stress on this feature of school
work.
Riley was what he terms "a
runt" when he was q child. At
the age of IA he WAS sickly, weak,
and weighed u pounds. He be-
gan a system of training, includ-
ing running and calisthsnic exer-
cises, and rapidly developed. At
II he could make 100 yards In
10 flat, and he maintained that
speed for years afterwards.
When he was 20 he weighed
140, and had become q local
wrestling champion. He has
never been defeated In wrestling
at LAP pounds.
II believe that every boy, es-
pecially those in the city, needs
exercise" says Riley. 81 am
strong for all kinds of sports.
But l would try to make an i'm
provement in school athletics, II
l were elected.
AT present, all the boys OF a
certain grade take athletic work
together, and the smaller fellows
haven't a chance. T would divide
the scholars of each school into
grades of weight and size, rather
than grades of study, and let
them compete in athletics On a
more fair basis. The Y. M G.
A. has proven this to be the Ic-
cessful manner of bringing out
enthusiasm and competition.
Under this system many boys
would be encouraged to take up
school athletic work, who now
are timid about entering"

sailors, naval officers< and resi-
dents of Bremerton, fhe I navy

their Thanksgiving day contest

Bremerton is returning today for
revenge. In order to prepare for

THANKSGIVING
FOOTBALL IS
NEAR OBSOLETE
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Nov. rs. - The
slowly dying custom of playing
big football games on Thanks
giving is reflected in today's
schedule. Only two games of
more than local interest are
scheduled for eastern teams. In
the west one intersectional COM
bat-the Syracuse-Montana game
alone is of more than passing
interest.
At Philadelphia and Pittsburg
this afternoon the two undefeat-
ed teams of the east swing into
action, and on the results hinges
to large extent whether Cornell
will have an edge on Pittsburg or
vice versa in the final accounting.
Cornell should have a compar-
atively easy time with Pennsyl-
vania, which is completing a dis
astr0us year replete with coach
ing troubles. Pitt, however, has
a tough proposition In Penn State,
which already has licked Penn
sylvania and came near beating
Harvard.

paper to indulge in this sort of

was simply whistling to keep no

by the egotism of the editor. For

PREPAREDNESS is the theme which
is now engrossing national attention
in these United States as perha ps
never before The Herald has al
ready expressed itself editorially as
favoring a reasonable degree of pre-
paredness that is the bringing up
of our army and navy to proper pro
portions to the increase in population
and insuIar possessions during the
last decade or SO. ANY one who has
travelled over this country much
and seen the small amount of soldiery
that we have and noticed the TEEN
ing masses of population and studi-
ed the figures to extent OF the avail
able men, knows that our present
military force is inadequate to the
needs for proper policing or pro-
lection to our vast and valuable re-
sources which we lkness stands as "a
temptations TO some ayaricions coun-
try like Japan to attack Us, say on
our pacific coast where they have al
ready shown peculiar aptitude for
making wealth on account of under-
standing the soil etc there because
OF its close similarity to their own
mountainous coast dotted country
This piper thinks is behooves our
american people to study along With
President Wilson, Bryan and others
the sensible needs ia the way Of bet
ter defense in men, munitions etc.
and help by our expressions aud adj
vice, congress to simmer down the
agitation TO a crystaliz .tion of senti
ment in keeping with the direct
present needs and let bill be draf-
ted.to cover the program for the
next several years IN this way.
Some middle ground between each
contending sides is possibly nearest
right and wisdom that can be ar
