WHOSE SOLE OBJECT IS TO STIR DICE — TO UPHOLD MOB SO THAT THE HIGHLY CIVILIZED HEARTS CONTENT ENDS LAW ABIDING COLORED M One of the greatest writers of the old world, some years ago declared that "The American people, are the biggest set of fools on earth" or words to the same effect. There is a great deal of truth in the above statement—the vast majority of them being color blind and race prejudice ridden, they have made monkeys of themselves and have permitted themselves to become the laughing stock of the world, prior to and since the great Johnson and Jeffries fight at Reno, Nevada. Under one pretext or another they thought it would be all right if Jeffries could only knock and pound the stuffing out of Johnson, and those who were fearful of his ability to make good in that direction, including the good Christians, nit! cried out against permitting the fight. James J. Corbett, known as "gentleman Jim" who is the bosom friend of the fallen champion is still explaining how it all happened on July 4th, but before the fight he assured the worshippers of white skin that "Jeffries would have no trouble in winning the fight and that within a very short time after he had met with success in the ring as there was nothing to it, but the shouting, that he would start on a million dollar world tour, which has now been abanounced for some time, and that some of his easy pickings would be turned over to the highly educated broad minded Christians of his race, so that they could spend some of it in instructing the Colored folks in Africa and in America, to never attempt in the future to fight any one with a so-called white face, and millions of the good Christians sent up loud prayers to the heavens calling on their white God to let it be as foretold by gentleman "Jim" but it seems that for some cause their God felt that He was not in the deal strong enough. He utterly failed to harken unto their voices, thereby making it possible for the black son of it possible for it over good and plenty on Jeffries, and as no money was to fall into the pockets of the Christians as a result of the fight, they feel mighty save over its outcome and the Afro-American A. M. B. preachers of Chicago, are assisting them to draw the color line, they with the other so-called Christians who become sacred HEW·TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY on a nat at the same time swallowing a whole camel. Are bitterly opposed to the exhibition of the moving pictures of the fight, which have been and are still running through the daily newspapers which enter the homes of hundreds of thousands of people and are looked at and read by millions of children. Some of the papers which are now engaged in crying out against the pictures have in the past gleefully set forth the details of the most revolting crimes committed by mankind, illustrating the black deeds and fowl crimes, will the Chicago American please stand up and repent of its former sins right now in this respect? At this time it will not do to overlook the fact that the religious organizations throughout the country, the preachers and the press, now engaged in crying but against the pictures, simply because a white prize fighter was put to sleep by a Negro prize fighter. They have never in the past attempted to suppress the "Clansman" which depicts a Negro raping a woman, but on the contrary they have glorified it from their pulpits as the noblest work of their hand made God. Neither have they cried out against such blood thirsty anarchists, half devils and half savages as Benjamin R. Tillman, James K. Vardaman, Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr., and their brood of rank enemies to society, law and order, who have no higher object in view than to stir up race hatred and prejudice to uphold mob and lynch law. So that under some pretext or other innocent and law abiding Colored men, women and children can be shot down in cold blood like cats and mad dogs, by the highly civilized Christians residing in all parts of the United States. Michael G. Walsh, one of the strong and influential supporters of Governor Charles S. Deneen, in the Town of Lake; may be induced to make the race for congress in the 4th congressional district; and if Mr. Walsh should decide to do so, being a lyrical wise, he would make it mighty interesting for his opponents, whether they might be. CHICAGO, JULY 16, 1910. [Picture of a man with a bald head and a dark coat, wearing a badge on his left shoulder.] HONEST EDWARD D. GREEN. Prominent Knights of Pythias, Author of the Anti-Mob and Lynch Law of Illinois, who has been highly commended by the leading reform organizations and the newspapers as being eminently qualified to be re-elected to the General Assembly and assist to enact legislation for the great States of Illinois. This week the members of the committee of the first legislative district, of Illinois, comprising the first and second wards of this city indorsed, honest Edward D. Green, and noble B. Judah as the proper persons to make the race for the lower house of the legislature of this state; and Francis P. Brady, was united upon to become State Senator instead of Charles L. Billings, and their selections is equal to their elections. Mr. Brady did not kick over the traces at the last session of the legislature and vote for Lorimer, instead of for Senator Hopkins, but he stuck with the Hopkins wing of his party to the very last ballot, thereby saving his respectability and standing among the true blue Republicans. Noble B. Judah "is clean out and will make a live and active candidate and he will be heard from when he assumes his duties in he legislature at Springfield. Honest Edward D. Green, who stands so well with the best element of his party of the first and second wards—with the reform organizations, the newspapers and with those who thoroughly believe in good government that it is a great pleasure to state, that he has been selected as the associate and running mate of Mr. Judah, by his straight-forward conduct he has made a lasting name for himself. As a former member of the legislature, he was ever ready to vote for everything which would redound to the best interest of all the people within the confines of this state. It will long be remembered, that he is the author and the father of the anti-lynch and mob law, which measure is proving itself so beneficial, and when Mr. Green takes his seat in the next session of the legislature, he will put over some more legislation which will be almost as important, and as far reaching as his anti-mob and lynch law. JUDGE CHARLES M. WALKER KNOCKS OUT THE PEDDLERS. On or about Jan. 1, this year, the city council, passed an ordinance compelling the great army of peddlers from shouting at the top of their voice at all hours of the day and night, while traveling through the streets and byways of this city, seeking victims to buy their wares, and often times rotten fruit and so on, and the more than six thousand peddlers felt cock sure that through their lawyers, they would be able to sound the death knell of this new law which they hate so much, so they prayed unto his Hon. Judge Walker this week to issue an injunction restraining the city authorities, from enforcing the ordinance, in any manner shape or form. But Judge Walker, would not have it so and in dismissing their bill for want of equity, he declared that they, the peddlers conducted their business in an unusual way and to the discomfort of the public at large, in fact they are a public nuisance, and after being cast overboard by Judge Walker, they will appeal to the Supreme court of this state, and it is to be hoped that the higher court will stand by Judge Walker, so that peddlers can be prevented for years to come, from shouting their truck for sale up and down the streets of Chicago. nor of the Anti-Mob and Lynch Law ofcommended by the leading reform or as being minimally qualified to be re- and assist to enact legislation for the stands so well with the best element of his party of the first and second wards—with the reform organizations, the newspapers and with those who thoroughly believe in good government that it is a great pleasure to state, that he has been selected as the associate and running mate of Mr. Judah, by his straight-forward conduct he has made a lasting name for himself.

Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion pugilist of the world, says that he got a rotten deal when he returned to his home in Chicago after his victory in the ring at Reno. Mr. Johnson is exactly right about it. He did get a rotten deal and he has a perfect right to complain. Without going into the merits or demerits of prize fighting—and there is much to be said on both sides—it must be admitted by anyone that Mr. Johnson had accomplished a feat that brought him into prominence and made him much admired by a considerable portion of the populace of Chicago. Whether his admirers are misguided in their adulation of his physical prowess is quite beside the question. The point at issue is that a large number of people desired to do him honor and, this being a free country, they ought to have been permitted to do so. Those who disapprove of Mr. Johnson because he is a pugilist or because he is a Negro, were not asked to participate in the welcoming festivities and there was no disposition to force them to do so. Mr. Johnson's fellow Negroes and his friends among the white race had planned to meet him at the station with a band and to organize a parade to escort him to his home. They were forbidden by Chief of Police Steward to do this. And why? Because, forsooth, it might foment race hatred and result in riots. That is absolute piffle and Mr. Steward, if he is a person of discernment, knows it. The parade was forbidden because of this very race prejudice about which there was so much cant, and for no other reason. There was more to foment race hatred in Chief Steward's ruling than there would have been in a dozen parades in honor of Mr. Johnson or anyone else. Mr. Johnson and others of his race are, by the constitution, on an equal footing of citizenship with the other resident of this community and they are entitled to the same privileges. The police department has no right to forbish a parade by peaceable people unless there is good reason to believe that it will result in disorder. In this case there was no reason to believe ils in the Ranks cratic Party County F. DUNNE, ROGER C. SULLIVAN, E. TRAEGER, COL.

The above ticket is composed of many good and successful business men and there is no reason whatever, why it should not rally to its support a majority of the voters in this city and county. that it would result in anything of the sort. The Negroes of Chicago are not anarchists nor, we take it, are they looking for trouble in which they would be bound to come out second best. Race prejudice is fomented more by the discriminations of persons who are themselves prejudiced than it is by any demonstration in compliment to anyone. Mr. Johnson's admirers are now talking of running him for aidman in the Third Ward where he resides, and where there are some 8,000 Negro votes. Would it not be quite as reasonable for our discriminating chief of police to forbid this on the ground that it might cause a race war? Mr. Johnson, since his return to Chicago, has exhibited much good sense. He has done no strutting nor bragging, and has been in every way reasonable and conservative. This shows his conservatism and his realization of the necessity of good order. As to his political aspirations, the Bulletin is not yet ready to pledge its support but, should he prove the only candidate against the Republican Nominee, we must say that he would look very good to us.—The Chicago Democratic Bulletin, July 13, 1910.

JIM GOLDSMITH A HALF CRAZY MAN TURNS ROBBER—BREAKING INTO JESSE BINGA'S BANK GETTING AWAY WITH A LARGE ROLL OF MONEY. Early Friday morning Jim Goldsmith, who they claim is half crazy threw a stone through one of the large plate glass windows of Jesse Binga's Bank, 36th place and State street, at the same time entering and grabbing a big roll of bills and getting away with the money until he was finally captured by a policeman and the money restored to the bank.

Summer Tent Work. Last week we gave an outline of the plan of the summer campaign for saving Chicago babies. We explained how the Department of Health in connection with the other organizations, is working to get the little ones safely through the scorching days of July and August. As you know, doctors and nurses are being sent into every ward to look after the sick babies and to help the mothers give them proper care. To aid in carrying on this work and for the purpose of bringing the service direct to the people who need it most, baby tents have been provided where sick babies can be taken for care and treatment. Mothers can also obtain service and instructions as to care of babies in hot weather. These baby tents are located as follows: Bridgeport, 856 W. 33d St. Chicago Commons, Grand Ave. and Morgan St. Henry Booth Mouse, 701 W. 14th Place. Kensington, 11534 Michigan Ave. Mary Crane-Day Nursery, 820 Ewing St. Northwestern University Settlement, Augusta and Noble Sts. Provident Hospital, 36th and Dearborn Sts. South Chicago, 8456 Superior Ave. Southwestern Gad's Hill, 20th and Robey Sts. St. Elizabeth, 1360 N. Ashland Ave. University of Chicago Settlement, 4630 Gross Ave. Mothers having sick or allying babies may bring them to these tents, where they will be given care and attention during the day, there being a nurse and doctor in attendance at each tent. Ice will be supplied free to those having sick babies, the Chicago Tribune defraying the expense. Any mother with a sick baby and who is unable to employ a doctor may apply at any of the tents and get the service which will help her to save the little one. The service is free and no one in need of it should hesitate to apply for it. CHATEAU RINK NOTES.

PEORIA CAPTURES BIG MILITIA CAMP. Illinois National Guard to be Mobilized First Time Since the Spanish Tract Covering 3,150 Acres Will be the Scene of the Army Maneuvers. Peoria gets the big division camp of the Illinois National Guard. The dues are from Aug. 20 to 27, inclusive, and within one camp will be assembled the full strength of the Illinois troops, with the exception of one regiment, which goes to the regular army maneuvers at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind. The announcement of the selection of Peoria has been made by Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickson. There has been a hard fought contest on for the camp location since Jan. 1 between a half dozen down-state cities. The engineer corps and the medical corps of the state militia will go to Peoria shortly to lay out the camp grounds and to provide for proper sanitation and water supply. Maj. Gen. Edward C. Young will be in command of the camp, which will be the largest ever held in the state, with the exception of the mobilization of the state troops at Camp Tanner in 1898 in the early days of the Spanish-American war. This year Maj. Gen. Young will have under his command about 6,000 national guards-men embraced in three brigades as follows: First Regiment, Brig. Gen. D. Jack Foster; commanding—First infantry, Col. Joseph B. Sanborn, Second infantry, Col. John J. Garrity; Seventh infantry, Col. Daniel Moriarty. Second brigade, Brig. Gen. Frank P. Wells commanding—Fourth infantry, Col. Edward J. Lang; Eighth infantry, Col. John R. Marshall. Third brigade, Brig. Gen. Edward Kittilsen commanding—Third infantry, Col. Charles H. Greene; Sixth infantry, Col. William T. Channon. First cavalry, Col. Miton J. Foreman commanding. The engineer corps and the hospital corps and a part of the artillery battalion will be ordered to camp with the division. The Fifth infantry, Col. Frank S. Wood, is ordered to the regular army maneuvers. The grounds for the camp lie at the northern edge of Feoria and cover about 450 acres. Adjacent to the tenting ground are 2,700 acres of land along the Illinois river bank, which will furnish the scene of the maneuvers as prescribed by Gen. Young. PRIZE BABY RALLY. St. George Commandery Guild No. 4, will give a Prize Baby Rally entertainment at Masonic Hall, 3956 State street, Monday evening, July 25th, 1910.

FORTUNES OF CIRCUS KINGS. The richest of all showmen was P. T. Barnum, whose estate was worth more than $3,000,000. He had good inevstments in real estate in Bridgeport and in New York, in addition to his circus interests. The right to use his name in connection with "The Greatest Show on Earth' alone was worth a small fortune. His partner, James A. Bailey, left more than $1,000,000; likewise, James L. Hutchinson, who completed the famous trio, whose names have fashed from billboards the world over. Adam Forepaugh died very rich. W. W. Cole, who was a great circus man in his day and who is now a resident of New York, is a millionarle. The Sells Brothers (Louis, Al, Peter and Ephraim) built up a fortune of several millions and left their families with big estates. But the wonder chapter in modern circus annals is the record of the Ringlings. Thirty years ago these five brothers (Al, Charles, John, Otto and Alfred T.) were "trouping" with a few horses, a few dens of animals and providing the music themselves. Today, they own the three greatest circuses, the one which bears their name, the Barnum and Bailey shows and the Sell-Forpaugh circus, and dominate the business. These three circuses represent a total investment of approximately $8,000,000—From Sawdust and Gold Dust, The Bookman. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Sunday, July 17.

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 ball, claiming the right of free speech. General Freyse Andrade, secretary to former President Palma, has offered to defend the prisoners in their claim to be heard, and the situation now looks dark for the administration forces. 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 Vorn 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 1886. 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 Conselya. 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 Conselyas 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.

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 monetales, and Niebuhr thinks that they were introduced at the time when the Romans first began to coin silver.

Apelle's Favorite Instrument Apoleis' Favorite Instrument. Apollo was the old god of music, and his favorite instrument, the lyre, was invented by Mercury. When the latter was four hours old he found the shell of a tortoise and made it into a lyre with nine strings in honor of the nine musees. This instrument Mercury gave to Apollo, who became a wonderful player upon it. The lyre was used by the Greeks in olden times, and from it was fashioned the harp. Files.
