The Afro-Americans in Chicago Those Claiming to be the Leaders of the Representatives of the Race. FAIL TO HEARTILY SUPPORT THE OLD FOLKS AND THE AMANDA SMITH HOMES. AND OTHER WORTHY INSTITUTIONS WHICH ARE DESERVING OF CONSIDERATION. ON THE OTHER HAND THEY FEEL THAT IT IS THEIR DUTY TO SUPPORT PLACES OF BUSINESS WHOSE OWNERS HATE THEM AND TREAT THEM WITH THE GREATEST CONTEMPT. Vol. XV The Afro-Am Those Claiming ers of the Re the Race. FAIL TO HEARTILY SUPPO THE AMANDA SMITH AND OTHER WORTHY INST SERVING OF CONSIDE ON THE OTHER HAND THE DUTY TO SUPPORT PL OWNERS HATE THEM THE GREATEST CONT Several weeks ago it was pointed out in these columns, the undisputed fact that the Afro-Americans as a general proposition from the highest to the lowest and from the most wealthy to the poorest, have in the past, utterly failed to support Provident Hospital like they should support it, while at the same time they are always very loud in proclaiming it a great Negro institution, but it is not, and never can be until it is supported by them independent of the whites. This statement holds true respecting the leading and the representatives of the race, in reference to supporting other institutions, they are peculiar beings in many respects; they fail to heartily support the Old Folks and the Amanda Smith Homes, and other worthy institutions, which are deserving of their consideration. On the other hand, it can be said to their everlasting discredit that they feel that they will miss their calling and election in heaven unless they spend their money towards helping to maintain places of business, whose white owners hate them and always treat them with the greatest contempt. To illustrate a white gentleman by the name of Smith for a long time ran a buffet, corner of 28th and State streets, and after he made a barrel of money from the trade of the Colored people, he sold out to Mr. Gumb, and he opened up a fine place in the downtown district and the first rule he established, was so they say, that "no Colored man should be served in his place" and after he made a failure of his venture downtown, he "hot footed" it out South, and opened up another place right in among the Colored people, and his place is crowded day and night by them, and he has them so well trained, by reason of the fact that in the past so they claim, his bouncers have freely used the club on those who attempted to get bad that they talk in a low voice while standing around waiting to be served, and in every way he is past master in the art of handling Colored people, he knows that all a white gentleman in THE THIRD ANNUAL CEMENT SHOW WILL BE HELD AT THE COLISEUM FROM FEBRUARY 18TH TO 26TH. Under the management of the Cement Product Exhibition Company, the third annual Cement Show, will be held at the Coliseum, from February 18th to February 26th, and it promises to eclipse all other shows so far held by it. It can be truly said, that cement construction is not limited to sidewalks, foundations, steps or any of the other more common forms, with which the public is most familiar, but is equally as adaptable to public business has to do is to let it be known that he does not want Colored people to enter his place and that they will break their necks in handling their money over to him and gladly assist to make him rich. One more illustration showing that the Afro-Americans in Chicago, are willing to support institutions run by the whites, and freely give up their money as long as it will directly benefit them. It will be recalled that not so many years ago, all classes of Colored people in this city willingly paid five dollars a piece for tickets for a so-called "Charity Ball," which was given for the direct benefit of a white lady, who entertains the idea that she also knows how to handle Colored people and that the most highly educated Colored people are nothing more than little children, and they always need some white person to look after them and guide and direct them in the affairs of life. So the proceeds of the ball were used to help to buy a home for the white lady and her husband, and no questions were asked as to the amount of money the Colored lady having charge of the affair, turned over to the white lady. Some years after this incident, another Colored lady gave a charity ball, for the benefit of settlement house work, right in among the Colored people where it is greatly needed, and many of the most prominent Colored people failed to patronize it to the extent of buying one single 50 cent ticket. They hated the idea of paying out their money to Colored women for the benefit of poor little Colored children, and the ball was hardly over, before many of those who had not contributed one cent to make it a success, were clamoring for a detailed report, and some of them, were so beseted and ignorant to believe that the lady had taken some of the money realized from the ball to buy a new dress. Does not all the foregoing tend to prove that the Negro hates his own race, that he is unwilling to spend his money to assist to support its worthy charitable institutions? drinking fountains, ornamental lamp posts, monuments, street sign posts, statuary, garbage receptacles, and so on. Therefore, the third annual Cement Show will be educational in its nature and it will fully illustrate the many uses of cement and concrete. Carter H. Harrison, Andrew J. Graham, the successful west side banker, Edward F. Dunne, Col. James Hamilton Lewis, Alderman William E. Dever John A. Lynch, president of the National Bank of the Republic; are being prominently mentioned in connection with the nomination for Mayor of Chicago in 1911. D. R. King FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

This week, his 93d birthday, should be celebrated for, it was largely through his work during the Anti-Slavery agitation in this country that made it possible for Abraham Lincoln, to issue his Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves, and all liberty loving people everywhere should honor the memories of Frederick Douglass, and Abraham Lincoln, the 12th and 13th of February. BISHOP LAMPTON APPEALS TO NEGRO. MUST KEEP THE LINES OF RACE SEPARATION INVIOLATE SO AS TO GIVE MOBS NO EXCUSE. He Wants The Negro To Act So As To Give Mobs No Excuse For Lynchings. Last week, the African Methodist Conference, was held at New Orleans, Louisiana, and Bishop E. W. Lampton, who was run away from his home at Greenville, Miss., last summer, by its best citizens, because he wanted a white lady to call his daughter Miss Lampton, whenever she called her to the telephone, presided over the conference, and in his slave like manner, he gave expression to the following cowardly sentiments: BANNER YEAR IN TUBERCULOSI WAR More Organizations Formed and Institutions Established in 1909 Than Ever Before. Interest in the anti-tuberculosis can paign now being waged throughout the United States is evidenced by the fact in the year 1909, 163 new anti-tuberculosis associations were formed, 15 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals were established, and 91 tuberculosis dispensaries were opened. Compare with previous years, this is the best record thus far made in the fight against consumption in this country. During the year 1909, forty-three more associations for the prevention of tuberculosis were formed that during the previous twelve months, an sixty two more hospitals and sanatories were established. On January 1, 1911 there were in the United States 35 anti-tuberculosis associations, 196 ho "I appeal to every Negro in the land, led on by you ministers of the Gospel," he said, "to so stand in the fulfillment of his obligation, in the keeping of the letter and the spirit of the law, of both God and man, that the mob shall have no excuse to wreak its vengeance upon my people. I appeal to every Negro in the land to keep violate those lines of separation between the races, in public and in private, so that the mob will have no excuse to wreak its vengeance upon my race. I appeal to every Negro in the land, North, South, East and West, to turn his face from seeking any kind of commerce by law or by force, by agreement or intrigue, with the females of the other race, so that the mob shall have no excuse to wreak vengeance upon my race. "I believe that there is a future for my people, but it must be through separation along social lines. I do not seek admission into the parlor of any white man, nor do I invite him into my parlor in a social way. I want only for my people protection under the law, and we will make our own social circle, will entertain our own men and women, and will build up our race." Bishop Lampton was very careful in his charge to his preachers, not to say one word in reference to the best white gentlemen in the Southern States hugging and kissing Colored women and bringing half white children into this world by them, but as he is a good white man's "Nigger" like Booker T. Washington, he is too much of a coward to open his mouth in this respect. Therefore his advice on any subject or question is not worth a tinker's damn!—Editor. could be celebrated for, it was largely slavery agitation in this country that in, to issue his Emancipation Pro- liberty loving people everywhere ick Douglass, and Abraham Lincoln, BANNER YEAR IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR Interest in the anti-tuberculosis campaign now being waged throughout the United States is evidenced by the fact in the year 1909, 163 new anti-tuberculosis associations were formed, 133 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals were established, and 91 tuberculosis dispensaries were opened. Compared with previous years, this is the best record thus far made in the fight against consumption in this country. During the year 1909, forty-three more associations for the prevention of tuberculosis were formed than during the previous twelve months, and sixty two more hospitals and sanatoria were established. On January 1, 1910, there were in the United States 394 anti-tuberculosis associations, 386 hospitals and tuberculosis 'sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis dispensaries. During the year that has passed, the sanatoria and hospitals of this country treated over 31,000 patients, giving a total of nearly 3,200,000 hospital days treatment. Of the 31,000 patients treated, about one-half were discharged as improved to a greater or less extent, and a large percentage of the incipient cases were discharged as cured. Altogether there are nearly 20,000 hospital beds provided in the entire United States for tuberculosis patients, or about one bed for every 30 patients. The 386 associations have 60,000 members and are contributing close to a million dollars every year for the fight against tuberculosis. the 205 dispensaries treated during the year over 60,000 patients, who made over 500,000 visits. The following table shows the results of the year 1999 compared with previous years: Year Sanatoria and Hospitals, Associations, Dispensaries; Before 1905, 115, 24, 19; During 1905, 15, 13, 5; During 1906, 17, 25 11; During 1907, 35, 49, 51; During 1908, 71, 120, 88; During 1909, 133, 163, 91; Total Jan. 1 1910, 386, 394, 265. If the year that has passed has been a record-breaker in point of numbers, it has also broken many records in point of interest which it has aroused. Never before have so many different groups been working for one common end. At the present time, schools, women's clubs, labor unions, churches, children's organizations, state legislatures, municipal bodies, insurance companies, fraternal organizations, bill posters, laymen and doctors of every creed and color are all banded together in one effort to rid this country of consumption. Municipal Judge William W. Maxwell Reversed in the Appellate Court IN HIS DECISION ON FORCIBLE ENTRY AND DETAINER PRESIDING JUSTICE CHYTRAUS, DELIVERED THE OPINION OF THE COURT. ATTORNEY WALTER M. FARMER SCORED THE VICTORY AND PUT ONE OVER ON IUDGE MAXWELL. Some time ago, a forcible entry and detainer suit was brought in the Municipal Court by Roger Sherman, against Donald Green, and Charles Riley. Attorney Walter M. Farmer, represented the two last mentioned parties and William M. and William S. Johnston, were attorneys for the first named party. When the case came up for hearing before Municipal Judge Maxwell, Mr. Farmer contended, that Mr. Green had not been legally or properly served with the summons to appear in court, that he was absent from the city, at the time a copy of the summons was left with a member of his family, that that was not good service according to the statutes of Illinois. Judge Maxwell, who does not know TAG DAY FOR LIBERIA. I. T. Norris, one of the most prominent Afro-American business men of Seattle, Wash., chairman of the Liberia Tag Day Committee, has sent out the following appeal, calling on the Afro-Americans to rally to the support of Liberia. "Liberia has called for money and men. Let every Afro-American answer this call, and set aside Thursday, September 22, 1910, as a contribution day and help raise a fund to be turned over to the authorities of Liberia for the education and Christianizing of our brother Liberians, and thus help develop that country. An effort on the part of the Colored people of this country to help our brothers of Liberia would win for us greater respect at home and consideration abroad. Of course, such a project would necessarily call for some plan of action, and the following suggestion might be adopted: "Let each State appoint a committee of seven (all of whom shall be freeholders) whose duty it shall be to arrange for and have full charge of the fund collected to a National Committee composed of one representative from each State. It shall be the duty of the National-Committee to deposit said funds with some bank or trust company until such time as it could be delivered to the authorities of Liberia. Here is an opportunity for the Negro to make favorable history. THE RELIGION OF REASON. To love justice, to long for the right, to love mercy, to pity the suffering, to assist the weak, to forget wrongs and remember benefits, to love the truth, to be sincere, to utter honest words, to love liberty, to wage relentless war against slavery in all its forms, to love wife and child and friend, to make a happy home, to love the beautiful in art, nature; to cultivate the mind, to be familiar with the mighty thousands that genius has expressed the noble deeds of all the world; to cultivate courage and cheerfulness, to make others happy, to all life with the splendor No.19 Judge in W.

Then lawyer Farmer, appealed the case to the Appellate Court, and recently, presiding Justice Chrytraus, handed down the opinion of that court, reversing Municipal Judge Maxwell, and enabling Mr. Farmer to put one over on him, and it is the opinion of the Appellate Court, that personal service must be had in all forcible entry, and detainer suits brought in the Municipal Courts of Chicago. So landlords, and real estate agents must govern themselves accordingly. of generous acts, the warmth of loving words, to discard errors, to destroy prejudice, to receive new truths with gladness, to cultivate hope, to see the calm beyond the storm, the dawn beyond the night; to do the best that can be done and then be resigned—this is the religion of reason, the creed of science. This satisfies the brain and heart.—Robert G. Ingersoll. CLIFTON R. WOOLDRIDGE, THE CELLEBRATED DETECTIVE, HAS RESIGNED FROM THE POLICE FORCE OF CHICAGO AND ESTABLISHED THE CENTRAL DETECTIVE AGENCY. Clifton R. Wooldridge, the famous and celebrated detective, who has been connected with the Chicago Police Force for more than twenty years has resigned his position with it, and has established the Central Detective Agency, at 95 Dearborn street, Phone Central 5388. Mr. Wooldridge is the general superintendent of the agency, and with his long experience, and unapproachable record, in catching criminals of all kinds, he is richly deserving of the patronage of those who are in need of the services of high class detectives. The Emanuel Settlement Guild No. 1, gave a "Charitable Cup" Tuesday evening for the benefit of the day nursery. The affair was held at the home of Mrs. Hattle Arrant, 249 E. $1st street. It was conducted by her daughter, Miss Mabel Arrant, who is just as bright as she can be, and she possesses a very sweet voice and will become a noted songstress if she continues to practice singing. It was a great success. Many white citizens in that neighborhood, who have known Miss Mabel ever since she was a small girl, assisted her to make it so. It was attended by many of the leaders of the four hundred, and more than $15.00 was turned over to Mrs. William Emanuel, for the benefit of the day nursery. --- Will promigrate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholic Protestant, Priests, Indians, Single Taxage, Rare Taxes, laymen, laymen, their say, as well as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

Green Benefit in mind, let us continue until we get the results. * * * Fidler and Shelton, those two Colored boys in vaudeville, are in the city for a short lay off. They spent an enjoyable time at the Kentucky Club, Sunday evening. They play a return engagement at the Majestic Theatre shortly. * * * Manager Robt. T. Motts is to be commended for excellent bills. He is now running at the Pekin Theatre. Nowhere in the country, can you see such a high class show at such popular prices. The "Chocklet Drops," headed by King and Bailey, are at a local theatre in the city. I don't understand why it is, that the management don't give them the benefet, as they are a scream all the way through, in fact, one of the best big acts ever seen in the east. Why not give them matter in billing as it should be and deserve. King and Bailey are the hit of the bill at the Music Hall, in fact the "Chocklet Drops" are the biggest thing that has struck this old town lately in the vaudeville line. * * * Messrs. Cole and Johnson will launch Miss Aida Overton Walker next season in a brand new play, yet to be named. It will be the largest and most expensive Colored organization ever sent on the road, playing all week stands. The Great Northern Theatre is now a Shubert House, and in the near future they will redecorate it very elaborately, then later on in the season, Mr. Bert A. Williams in "Mr. Load of Koal" will come to the Shubert Great Northern for a summer run. Let us hope that the rumor of the split between Williams and Walker is not true, as it would be a great loss to loose those celebrated comedians, if such improvements in Mr. Walker's health as reported is true.

The progress which our people have made along industrial and educational lines in the western section of the United States within the past fifteen years seems to sustain the contention of some of the leaders among us that the west affords more liberal opportunities for the business development of the race than any other section. That the race has largely entered into the commercial spirit of that section may be plainly seen by the thrift and industry of our people in cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Denver, Buxton, Los Angeles and Oakland. One of the most progressive business men of Kansas City, Mo., is Fortune J. Weuver, who is the proprietor of the Afro-American Employ- FORTUNE J. WEAVER. ment company. By strict business methods and economy Mr. Weaver has built up a large concern and is considered to be the leading business man in the state. In the matter of securing and supplying domestic help he has patrons as far west as California and Alaska.

We now want to show you how to remedy this so you may be guided rightly in the future. Economists and welfare workers have for years exerted their influence to reduce the cost of funeral services, They protested against a condition that made it almost impossible for many to give their beloved ones a respectable burial. . The cause they have so long and ably championed has been realized ; the thing they have worked and hoped for has become a fact. ¢ From today forth those in moderate circumstances will not have to suffer an insupportable bur- den in order to properly perform the last rites for the departed. This longed for result will be accom- plished through my association with the Western Casket and Undertaking Co. : : i ices, that_is, the prices of the Why Prices Have Been Excessive Western ‘Casket and: Undertaking Co,” will be much lower ‘The Undertaking business—for business it is—is over-. because they manufacture caskets and funeral furnish- done, This great duplication of concerns and employees _ings, utilize system and are satisfied with a fair return on is wasteal and against economic principles, High prices their investment are the result.
