Edward H. Morris, is or was the father of the "Civil Rights Law," of the State of Illinois, that he and no one else deserves the credit for making it possible for Colored people to occupy seats in all parts of all the theatres in this city, without being discriminated against or words of the same effect; but this bold or rash statement on the part of the writer of the article in question, is ten hundred million times father from the plain and solid truth than the sun is from this earth. Anyone who is not too stupid or too ignorant to read, can very easily come into possession of the following historical facts in relation to the present "Civil Rights Law," of this state, by simply asking a green policeman, namely, that the late J. W. E. Thomas, is or was the father of this measure, that he induced the legislature to pass it while he was one of its members in the early 80's, that after its final passage it was a kind of negative proposition for some years, that is no one could be successfully prosecuted under it, for violating any of its provisions. In short this was the status of the original "Civil Rights Law," of this state, until Major John C. Buckner, became a live and very active member of the legislature of Illinois, whose good work, as one of its members will live in the hearts of his fellow men long after he is dead and gone, and it was through his great influence that all the amendments to COL. "PONY" MOORE AND HIS WEALTH, THE FORMER LORD MAYOR OF THE "RED LIGHT DISTRICT Does Not Reside in His Fine Home on Calumet Ave. Some one writing to the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind., last week, from this city, among other false statements stated that "Mr. Pony Moore," has saved his money. It is said that he is one of Chicago's most wealthy Colored citizens; he lives in a handsome home on Calumet Ave., one of the most select streets in the city on the East Side." This last statement is absolutely untrue, for more than a year ago Col. "Pony" Moore, was forced out of his elegantly furnished home at 3314 Calumet Ave., he having lost control of it and the white gentleman who held a plaster on it for three thousand and five hundred dollars has taken it in on his mortgage and after paying up the "Civil Rights Law," were attached on to it. For be it remembered that no other Colored member of the legislature of this state ever had as many high honors showered upon him as one of its members, like unto Major John C. Buckner, during his two terms as one of its members he honorably and ably served as chairman of many of its most important committees; the House Journal, of that period will amply and truthfully bear out our statement in this respect. As to neighbor Edward H. Morris, formerly chief attorney for the Gamble's Trust, no one can point with pride to his acts, while a member of the state legislature of Illinois; for there is no record that is public record of the fact, that he ever raised his little finger in the way of assisting to enact any legislation which would be of the slightest benefit to the people of the great state of Illinois. Therefore, he is not the father of the Civil Rights Bill. On the contrary while neighbor Morris, was a member of the legislature, he used his great power, and brainy influence, in having legislation enacted for the special benefit of the head lights of the "Gambier's Trust," and the policy kings, which no one can seriously contend was in the interest of good government. And as we firmly believe in giving honor to whom honor is due, therefore, the late J. W. E. Thomas, and Major John C. Buckner, deserves the unstinted credit of enacting the "Civil Rights Law," of Illinois, and not neighbor Edward H. Morris. three year's back taxes, and the last installment for paving Calumet Ave., all of which Col. Moore had refused or was unable to pay; the white gentleman rents the house out to a white family for forty dollars per month. And for over a year Col. Moore and his family have been residing on the second floor of the Palace saloon, 41 West 51st street, and it was there and not in his former beautiful home on Calumet Ave., that the Lord Mayor of the "Red Light District" was later over come with a severe stroke of paralysis. It was further stated in the long windy article to the Freeman, that "the place on 21st street, which was conducted by Mr. Moore, was finally closed by Mayor Durne, on account of politics. This is also untrue for a long time Mr. Moore, had run one of the very worst dives in this city and as many Colored ladies who claimed to be highly respectable, many of them being married, frequented his place, where they were introduced to CHICAGO, JUNE 18, 1910.

It can also be truthfully stated that This year the Fourth of July comes on Monday. A great many people will plan to leave town on Friday night, July 1st. and get back on Tuesday morning, July 5th. Last year, Chicago had a safe fourth. Nobody was killed or severely injured. There was not much noise. This year it is going to be safer still. The promiscuous shooting of fireworks will be less. Pistol shooting should be less. The noise will not be so trying. Now let us see how this compares with the conditions in the place where you are liable to go. A good many people were killed last year in towns near Chicago. A gentleman told me of spending the Fourth at a nearby resort and from time to time during all the night some neighbors were shooting an anvil, not more than 100 feet from the window of the room where he was trying to sleep. Do you not think you and your children will be safer and more comfortable in Chicago? Do you not think the noise will rack your nerves less? So much for that side of it. Now for the other side. July 4th stands for nationalism, patriotism. The patriotic Pole or Swede or Italian is a better American for honoring the heroes and the customs of the land from which he came. It is proposed that July 4th shall run largely to nationalistic celebrations; that in the parks and on the streets there shall be much to quicken the pride of our people in their country and in the countries that have contributed largely to our population. This you will miss if you go away for the 4th. Will you not plan to stay at home on July 4th? Continues to be Conducted in an Orderly Manner. It is a pleasure to state that the Kentucky Club Cafe, 2260 State St., up stair, as in the past, continues to be conducted in an orderly manner, for at all times the best of order prevails and parties who are looking for trouble either white or Colored, are not permitted to enter its dining room, and they are politely informed before they start up stair, that their room is better than their money, and that they cannot be served to anything for love or money.

GIVES RAILROADS THE RIGHT TO ENCOURAGE "JIM CROW" CAR LAWS. Causes Trembling Fear of What May Come—Decision Hard Blow at the Rights of the Colored Race. Washington, D. C., June 13.—(Special.)—The last protection the Colored race had against "jim-crow" cars, the right to be classed as interstate passengers when traveling from one state to another, was swept away by the United States Republican Supreme Court last week when it handed down a decision in the case of J. Alexander Chiles vs. Chesapeake & Ohio railway, in which the court held that railroads had "the right to establish such rules and regulations as will require white and Colored passengers, although they may be interestate, to occupy separate compartments upon the train." Mr. Ciles, who is a Colored man, bought a first-class ticket from Washington to Lexington, Ky., but at Ashland, Ky., where he changed cars, he was forced to go into a car designated for Colored people. He brought suit, under the ruling applying to interstate passengers, but in the decision handed down by Justice McKenna the case was decided against him, and it was held, according to the decision, that Colored passengers, whether interstate or not, can be jim-crowed. Justice Harlan, who has always rung true when the rights of the Colored race have been in jeopardy, dissented from the decision. This decision is one of the worst blows that have been struck at the rights of the Colored race in this country, and it causes all to tremble in anticipation of what may next come. The leading West Side Democrats, this week indorsed the following candidates for some of the county offices to be voted for at the fall election: For county judge—Former Mayor Edward F. Dunne. For County treasurer—Ald. Peter Beisberg. For Sheriff—Ald. Michael Zimmer. For president county board—Charles J. Vopiek. The many friends of Alderman Zimmer, look upon him as a live live, and they feel that he can make a successful race for sheriff of Cook County. The Beautiful "Rose Maiden" Was Delightfully Rendered. BY THE CHORAL STUDY CLUB, MONDAY EVENING. A LARGE AND APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE WARMLY GREETED THOSE TAKING PART IN IT. Monday evening, the beautiful "Rose Malden," by that famous composer, Frederick H. Cowen, was rendered by the Choral Study Club, at the Institutional Church and a large and appreciative audience filled every seat in the church, and warmly greeted those taking part in it. Mrs. Martha Broadus-Anderson, soprano; Mrs. Della Ridgeway-Brown, contralto; Mr. William H. Hackney, tenor, and Mr. T. Theodore Taylor, baritone, were all at their very best and were heartily applauded at the conclusion of each one of their solos. Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Brown, both occupy warm spots in the hearts of the music loving public, and they were both presented with large bunches of roses, after they had concluded their leading parts in the "Rose Malden." Prof. Tinsley, the efficient director of the Choral Study Club, had the voices of its 75 members drilled to perfection, and the choruses were simply magnificent. This can also be said relative to the music by the or- CHATEAU RINK NOTES.

It was freely expressed at the close of the rendition of the "Rose Maiden" that the Choral Study Club in all of its past history had not reached such a high state of perfection as on this occasion. That the leading talent all belonged right among the people here in Chicago, and seemed to take better and draw a larger audience than the select talent from other cities. For a larger number attended the concert Monday evening than at any time in the past. Of course it was well advertised and that helped some. The leaders of society were out in full force, and it was freely expressed by them, as well as by the lesser lights of society, that Prof. Tinsley and each and every member of the Choral Study Club added greatly untold glory unto themselves, for rendering in such a classical manner the beautiful "Rose Maiden." hooks allowed.

Stringent Miscegenation Measure Passes the Louisiana House—More Severe than "Jim Crow" Law, Baton Rouge, La., June 14.—By a vote of 93 to 10 the miscegenation bill which forbids whites from living with any person of color except Japanese in the state of Louisiana was passed by the house of representatives today. The bill is to supersede the Jim Crow law enacted at the last session and its terms are more stringent. Under it no white person can live with a Negro, octoroon, quadroon or any person of color no matter how long they have been married or if they are not married. There was a lively debate in the house when the bill came up for final passage and Representative O'Connor termed the measure infamous, declaring it would break up thousands of families throughout the state, annul marriages and make tens of thousands of children illegitimate.

COLORED WOMAN KNOCKED ON HEAD. Dangerously Wounded with Hatchet, ... by Russian Jew. On Decoration Day morning, Mrs. Fedora Smith, a widow with three minor children, living at 6229 Loomis St., Englewood, was dressing in her flat, preparatory to visiting the cemetery to decorate her husband's grave, when her flat room door was shoved open and she was viciously assaulted with a hatchet wrapped in a newspaper by a Russian Jew and his wife, named Max Klorfine. Mrs. Smith, though severely wounded and bleeding chased them out and overtaking Klorifine before he could reach the street cars on 63rd st., threw him to the street and was holding him for the police who had been phoned for, when she was rudely thrown loose from her assailant by a white man who jumped on the street car. Klorifine then again started on a run, all the time "hollering "murder." The patrol wagon coming met him and seeing him hatless took him in tow and of trains will be announced in this column later.

Speaking at the second annual conference of the national Negro committee, held at Cooper Union Thursday evening, May 12, Clarence S. Darrow, the well known Chicago lawyer, said that the real solution of the race question lay in race amalgamation. "This will be the ultimate answer to the question," declared the speaker. "It may be a long way in the future, but intermarriage between the races will finally settle all difficulties, as it has in the case of the Irish and Germans and other peoples who formerly had to be kept apart in order to preserve the peace. "The real barrier is not color. It is the fact that the Negroes were once slaves and that today they are in the ranks of labor. It is a labor question rather than a race problem, and the way for the Negro to obtain recognition is to cast his lot boldly with the poor and fight with them and for them. The cause of the poor is his cause, and his cause is theft." The Rev. Beverdy C. Ransom, pastor of the Bethel American M. R. church, said: bringing him back, forced him to show the place of the trouble, which looked like a slaughter pen. The trouble was that the Klorfine's could not wait to get possession lawfully of the flat where Mrs. Smith lived; but tried the Russian method used on people of their race in that country. Klorfine will have a hearing at the Englewood Municipal court before Judge Newcomer on June 22, on a charge of assault to kill. In the meantime, Atty. J. Gray Lucas, who will prosecute, the case, went into Judge Girten's Municipal court at 148 Michigan ave., and had the judgment for possession vacated which was the cause of the trouble. Mr. Lucas charged Mrs. Smith naught for this service and the Katherine D. Tillman Club, through Mrs. Barnett's action and St. John's A. M. E. Church, through Rev. Woods, raised her rent of $12.00, so as to keep a roof over her head by payment of the same after the vacating of the judgment was secured by Mr. Lucas, just as the balliff was about to serve the writ of restitution to throw Mrs. Smith into the street. "The Negro has been vitally affected in several ways by disfranchisement. He has been abandoned by the party he kept in power for a generation and given over to those who are seeking to reduce him to serfdom. His life is insecure. He may be set upon by mobs and put to death when accused or suspected of crime. If a white man is the aggressor the Negro is not protected in defending his person, his family or his property from assault, outrage or violence. "What kind of American citizen does the Negro intend to become? He intends to be so thoroughly identified with the country as to lose all consciousness of race. He will insist that, regardless of race or color, every American youth be free to tread the path of opportunity and to compete for the prizes of life upon terms of equality."

Education, Industry, Economy and Political Enfranchisement Are Fruits of Race Loyalty and Faith In God. By N. BARNETT DODSON. "I do not know what the ultimate outcome of the race problem will be. I have prophesied concerning it several times, but my prophecy failed because I did not put it far enough off. But one thing I do know, and that is that truth and righteousness will triumph in the end." Thus spoke Professor Kelly Miller, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Howard university, Washington, before a representative audience in the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, May 12. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association. Previous to Professor Miller's lecture the following musical program was rendered: Anthem by the choir of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, led by Professor Philip A. Myers; baritone solo, William A. Ross; bass solo, H. J. Williams; violin obligato, Robert H. Curl; baritone solo, "Garden of Roses," John E. Berry. Professor Kelly Miller's subject was "Race Loyalty." The speaker, after giving a brief review of the causes which make the question of the Negro's citizenship a live issue before the American public, gave many rea- [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. PROFESSOR KELLY MILLER. sons why the race should take hope and encouragement from the progress which it has made. The question of equality, said the speaker, reduced itself to the success of individual effort. What can I do as well or better than any one else? What reason have I to be satisfied that I am the equal of my fellow man in physical prowess, mental caliber or moral stamina? The idea should be to surpass him if possible and thus become his benefactor. Do not get it into your heads that the Negro is the only race which pulls apart on many of the things by which he might benefit most. This is entirely the opposite. The difference between the Negro and the white man in this particular is this: The white man has his differences of opinion, but when it comes to putting them in action he first considers the cost and will abandon his views rather than fall in that which is for the benefit of the cause for which he labors. The Negro must learn this, and the sooner the better for all concerned. Pessimism is dangerous. Get out, said the distinguished educator, from under the juniper tree of doubt, gloom and complaining and do something. The race is strong as a unit, but it can be made powerful as a pack. Ten millions of people welded together by race loyalty, ambition, perseverance and common sense cannot forever be ostracised and discriminated against without retaliation. We are advancing. We are becoming more and more proficient in every avenue of life. Education, industry, economy and political enfranchisement are some of the fruits which must result from race loyalty, faith in God and confidence in ourselves. New England Baptist Convention.

VAN DORN WINS HIS CASE. Court Gives Aged Afro-American Clear Title to His Property. Justice Aspinall of the Queens county supreme court, New York, has decided that Primus Van Dorn, an aged Afro-American, is entitled to his home, which he has owned for forty-four years in Jamaica, N. Y. The land in question consists of four and a quarter acres and is valued at $15,000. Mr. Van Dorn paid $50 for it in 1866. He is now in the eighty-eighth year of his age. He is the son of a slave who was set free by his master in New Jersey and who afterward moved out on Long Island. The family settled in the Springfield section, which was then almost in the heart of a wilderness, midway between Jamaica and Far Rockaway. The family continued to reside on the place, and in 1856 young Van Dorn, then of age, married and purchased a plot from John Conselyea. The deed conveyed one and a quarter acres, more or less. The boundary was a little stream which has since dried up. As the years went by and the small water barrier was removed Van Dorn, who was engaging in farming pursuits, was a little careless of the amount of land he cultivated. No one told him to stop, and he worked a section containing nearly five acres. He testified that he has held adverse possession ever since, and in this he was corroborated by others. No one paid attention to him, because the land was not considered worth while bothering about. Recently, however, all the section around has been developed, and the value of the land rose. Then some of the heirs of the former John Conselyea decided to evict Mr. Van Dorn and gain possession of the land; but, having held it so long, he fought back. In the case that was submitted to the court all the facts were agreed upon, and it left but a question of law for the court to decide to whom the property belonged. ODD FELLOWS' ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE Brooklyn: Ledges of Time Honored Secr est Order With Households and Juveniles Turn Out En Masse. The most highly interesting event in secret society circles in Brooklyn was the recent observance of the sixty-seventh annual thanksgiving service of the Grand United' Order of Odd Fellows. The exercises were held in the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke is pastor. The lodges represented were: Alpha, No. 1831; Morning Star, No. 1470; Mount Zion, No. 1670; Cherubim, No. 6571, and Alvin, No. 7888. Households present were: Victoria, Olga, Mara and Queen Ether. The children were seated with the past grand masters' council, patrarchs and other high officials. The scene was a beautiful one to look upon an ledge after lodge marched into the auditorium of the church in full regalia. The sermon was delivered by Dr. A. A. Crooke, whose subject was "The Significance of Thanksgiving." The discourse stirred the members to a degree of approval solidum witnessed on such occasions. It was forceful, logical and full of good advice.

De Toscano, worthy recorder; Mrs. Sarah Williams and Grand Master David Brown each made brief addresses, in which they told of the work and progress of the order during the year. At the meeting of the state grand lodge in Rochester last year it was decided to start a fund for the purpose of erecting at some central point in the state of New York a home for the aged members of the order; therefore the collection taken at this service was set aside for that specific purpose. Dinner For Y. M. C. A. Manag Plans are being perfected for the first annual dinner of the committee of management of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn. The dinner will be held at the branch, 405 Carlton avenue, on Wednesday evening, June 15. It will be an invitational affair. The object of the gathering, aside from its social features, is to lay before the citizens of Brooklyn the necessity of the work from a business standpoint. Step Useless Extravagances The craze for automobile and taxi cab riding, fine clothing and a host of other useless extravagances is keeping the colored man back, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. Why not imitate, the foreigner who before he learns to speak the English language launches out in some kind of business—bootblack stand, pushchair, fruit stand or something equally humble—and in a few years becomes independently rich and in this manner helps to make a place in the world of affairs for their people. Cuban Negroes Seek Legal Redress. The Negro situation in Cuba has recently assumed some very important phases. A large number of Negroes who were arrested some time ago have refused to be released on bail, claiming the right of free speech.

Derivation of Money The word "money" is derived from "moneta," a name given by the Romans to their silver pieces because coined in a building on the Capitoline hill attached to the temple of Jupiter Moneta. The officers in charge of the mint were called triumviri monteales, and Niebruh thinks that they were introduced at the time when the Romans first began to coin silver.

From nettle fiber a thread has been produced so fine that a length of sixty miles of it weighs but two and a half pounds. Orang-utan. Orang-utan is a Malay word derived from orang, man, and utan, woods. It would appear from this that the Dyaks of Borneo, who use the term, were Darwinians at an early date.

When the latter was four hours old he found the shell of a tortoise and made it into a tyre with nine strings in honor of the nine musees. This instrument Mercury gave to Apollo, who became a wonderful player upon it. The tyre was used by the Greeks in olden times, and from it was fashioned the harp.
