THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE WHICH FOR HIS FAKE STORY IS FIRST OF THE FINAL OUTCOME OF AGAINST SENATOR LORIMER MOST POWERFUL MAN IN NOIS. The long and bitter fight which was so hotly waged in the camps of the Democratic and Republican candidates for mayor of Chicago, came to a close at the primaries last Tuesday and it ha spassed on into history. The oldest citizens of this town had never beheld its like before and almost one million dollars was spent in various ways by the leading Republican and Democratic mayoralty candidates to induce the voters to vote this way or that way, and as it was stated in these columns some five or six weeks ago that the chances were that "the Irish-Americans would get into a hot fight among themselves, in an effort to see whether Edward F. Dunne or Andrew J. Graham, should ride the Irish-American goat, for mayor" and that while they were doing the fighting in their own ranks and deviding up their votes between the two candidates of their own flesh and blood and religion, that "Carter H. Harrison, would run in under them and seize the mayoralty prize" and in the final wind up it turned out just as we had predicted at the beginning of the fight, for Carter H. Harrison triumphed over the honorable Roger C. Sullivan and his supposedly strong and powerful machine, and he came in under the wires at the primaries last Tuesday, with 55,069 votes to his credit, carrying seventeen wards out of 35 wards, and as he is widely known as the "man of Destiny" he feels dead sure that with a united party behind him and with the aid of the independent voter he will be the next mayor of Chicago. Edward F. Dunne, whose army of loyal friends are endeavoring to induce him to enter the race for mayor as an independent candidate was second in the race and he came within an ace of snatching the prize from "Our Carter," he received 53,513 votes and if he and his able managers John J. Bradley and William L. O'Connell, would have been in a position to have placed a few good workers and watchers in every voting precinct throughout the city, Edward F. Dunne, would have made a more than successful home run, as it was without an organization at his back and with none of the boss politicians with him he carried thirteen wards, which strongly indicates that he is the most popular man in this city today among all classes of his fellow citizens. Andrew J. Graham, was the third in the race, and it seems that the forty thousand business men who had urged him to make the race for mayor were not in evidence at the primaries as he only received 38,541 votes, and only carried five wards with slight majorities, the voters in general had nothing against Mr. Graham, but they disliked some of the gentlemen who were backing or loudly supporting him—in fact they hated them for some of, their crooked works in the past in politics—hence they absolutely would not vote Mr. Graham at the primaries, not even for love nor for money. Charles E. Merriam smashed the Republican machine and ran way ahead of John R. Thompson, the machine candidate and his other competitors, he receiving twice as many votes as the votes cast for John R. Thompson, John F. Smulski, Tom Murray, and John Edward Scully (and both the Republican and Democratic voters have put the boss ridden machines out of business in this city and Cook county for awhile at least and the boss politicians are just beginning to wake up to the fact that they will have to change their tactics, if they still desire to retain the respect and the confidence of the great mass of the unpurchable voters who have the power to make and unmake statemen and sapheaded feeders at the public crib at their will. Albert W. Beilfuss, won the Republican nomination for city treasurer and Henry Stuckart had no opposition for city treasurer on the Democratic end of it. William Mayhew and Francis D. Connery won out as the Republican and Democratic candidates for city clerk and next week the fighting will begin in dead carnest to see who will win out at the election April 4, and in each and in every case the people should vote for the best men for Aldermen in the various wards throughout the city and for the three main city offices—that is for mayor, treasurer and city clerk, regardless of their politics. The Hon. William-Lorimer, routs his enemies in the United States Senate. He won a great victory over them on Wednesday, and he will retain his seat in that body, by a vote of 46 in his favor to 40 against, permitting him to retain his seat for the remainder of his term.

Member of Congress from New York Letter to Bishop Alexander Walters, P Tweed; while he was engaged in, robbing and plundering the people of New York city, and Senators Beveridge, Burton, La Follette, Cummins and Company; are on the dead run, for they utterly failed in their most reprehensible scheme to unseat Senator Lorimer. The Chicago Tribune which worked overtime in an effort to blacken the character of Senator Lorimer, and to discredit him at home and abroad, which paid Charles A. White $3,500, for his fake story, is frothing mad at the mouth over the result of the final outcome of its long losing fight against Senator Lorimer, who is now the biggest and most powerful man today in Repubblican politics in Illinois. 'BOSS'' GEORGE B. COX, FRIEND OF CONGRESSMAN NICK LONG-WORTH AND COL. BOOSEVELT. Indicted In Cincinnati, Ohio, For Perjury. Last September Col. Theodore Roosevelt refused to permit Senator William Lorimer, to sit down at any of the banquet tables in the same room with himself at the Hamilton Club! at the same time Col. Roosevelt, who would like to pose as a white robed saint loudly proclaiming that "Senator Lorimer was a briber, that he had bought his way into the United States senate and that he was a very bad man in every way who should be spurned aside by all honest and decent gentlemen like unto himself" and so on. With the greatest of pleasure the Chicago Tribune double headlined Col. Roosevelt's frothings at the mouth against Senator Lorimer, and after he had made a complete monkey of himself and conducted himself like a big mad bull in a china store, he journed to Cincinnati, O., where a reception was held in his honor, at the home of his son-in-law Congressman Nick. Lonkworth and political boss George B. Cox, who has always had the reputation of resorting to corrupt methods in politics in Hamilton county and Cincinnati, was third on the reception committee, and was one of the high mucky munks in the estimation of Col. Roosevelt on that occasion. And now this same been George B. Cox, has been indicted twice this week by the grand jury of Hamilton county for perjury. He is further charged with getting away, with more than $17,000, which belonged to the taxpayers of that county, which did not rightfully belong to him, and he is an intimate associate of Col. Roosevelt. Further comment is unnecessary. City, Whose Plain and Common Sense Appears in Another Column of this Paper. THERE IS NO FUTURE LIFE. In the whole range of theology there is no answer to the question of a future life that satisfies common sense and reason. Buddha alone gives a national hypothesis. We are a part of nature, therefore we have always existed and will continue to exist eternally. But personality is temporal and transient. Separate existence begins at birth. The child passes its accumulated ideas on the man and ceases to be. The man remembers that he was once a child but the child is gone and will not return. So also, will the man pass his personality on to the old man of second childhood, and he, too, lives only in the memories of the past. And in the final dissolution of death the elements incarnated in the child and in the man and in the second childhood of age will pass on to other forms of life. Thus man is eternal. His thoughts and deeds forever survive, and in his thoughts and deeds he lives. Individuality is only the sum total of all the thoughts and deeds incarnated in the individual life. The Infinite alone has absolute existence. We are each the Infinite in individual expression. The thoughts, deeds and mental sensations we mistake for transient effects are the real consciousness of existence, and in them we live, the Infinite in finite expression. —Ross Winn, in "Fire-Brand." SAN FRANCISCO TO DRAW THEONG. Convention of the International Sunday School Association. The thirteenth triennial convention of the International Sunday School association, will be held in San Francisco, Cal., June 20th to June 27th, and more than four thousand delegates, aside from thousands of other visitors who will attend its session. Only a few years ago this same Sunday School, convention was held in Washington, D. C. and Baltimore and its officials and delegates, drew the color line against their Colored brother and they did not want the Colored brother to worship at the feet of their white God, and it remains to be seen whether or not the Colored brother will endeavor to butt into the Sunday School convention at San Francisco and permit himself to be insulted and kicked out of it by the so-called Christian men and women who will attend it. Congressman William Sulzer of New York City Pens A Frank and Interesting Letter To Bishop Alexander Walters, President of the Negro National Political League. Last week the National Negro Political League held a conference at Washington, D. C., and being familiar with the open and frank attitude of Congressman William Sulzer of New York City on all public questions, he was invited by its president Bishop Alexander Walters to address its members, and not being able to do so, Congressman Sulzer sent the following letter of regret: "House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., February 25, 1911. "Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Negro Political League, Washington, D. C. "My Dear Bishop: "On account of official duties it will be impossible for me to be present and address your meeting tonight. However, I cannot forego this opportunity to congratulate you and your associates on the splendid work you are doing for the fundamental principles of democracy; and the success you are making along lines of practical organization, with the view of convincing the men of your race that they have just as many friends if not more among the Democrats as they have among the Republicans. Equal rights to all and special privileges to none is the fundamental principle of democracy, and the application of this to questions as they arise will solve them all in the interest of the plain people of our country. It seems to me it should be the constant effort of the men of your race, in season and out of season, to keep this great principle to the front, so that all the people, without regard to race, religion or previous condition, shall be equal before the law, and the door of opportunity under the star of hope in free America ever remain open . The sentiment in favor of this idea is growing apace throughout the country, and means much for the future welfare of America. "Democracy is not on the wane.

Last Sunday afternoon, "My Friend From Dixie" opened its two weeks engagement at the Globe Theatre, Wabash avenue and Hubbard Court, which ends Saturday evening March 11th.

'Let me say in conclusion that I congratulate you on the interest you are taking in Democratic principles, and know the great influence you have with the people of your race. You deserve well, and your work should be commended by every patriotic American. In the future, as in the past, anything I can do to help you and your friends you can rest assured will always be cheerfully done. "With best wishes, and regards to all assembled, believe me, as ever," "You are very much your friend." The above letter from Congressman Sulzer to Bishop Walters contains the true Democratic ring and whenever the great majority of those who profess to believe in the fundamental principles of democracy, that is, "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," advocate and uphold this plain and simple doctrine, and when the color of one's skin or the texture of his hair and his nationality is not taken into consideration when legislation is being enacted by the law making bodies of the Democratic party through the House commit its true mission. It is issued and sent. In other words, democracy must be broad enough in this country so that all men into its folds. It must do battle at the weak or the fortunate of any race. It must not deprive any citizen of be he black or white of man born or without the ballot no man can become a true American citizen. Continue, Congressman Sulzer, you noble effort to revive the true fundamental principles of democracy in the minds of the present leaders of this party, which accomplished so much for this country in its earlier stages of development and which produced some of the most patriotic and illustrious statesmen in America. anyone wants to witness good dancing and enjoy fine singing let them witness My Friend From Dixie.

His baldness is not a disgrace, but a positive charm, to a pretty woman's eyes. That at least is the theory of a well-known doctor, who has had ample opportunities of studying human nature. Just when he is beginning to note with anxiety the ever increasing patch of baldness on his head, that is the time he is entering upon the happiest period of his life. "It is difficult to give an exact reason why the bald-headed man is so well liked by women," he says, "but in my experience the fact is indisputable. It may be because he appears to be: Thoughful and kind. Trustworthy, sedate and confiding. Past the folies and frivolities of youth. Usually successful. A man of property. "A doctor welcomes baldness when it comes to hind, as a sign of sedatness and digressed learning, which invariably increases his practice." There must be some files on an editor, when he becomes bald-headed and it is an indication that he knows a thing or two and takes well with the fair ladies. --- Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Catholics, Protestants, Priests, Individle, Single Taxes, Republicans, or anyone else can have their say, as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

After the informal reception a family dinner was served in the evening. The neighborhood work of the Emmanuel Settlement at 2732 Armour Ave. is gradually progressing regardless of the many barriers and obstacles which all work of this nature must overcome, and if all the plans of the management are put in effect, it will be a great service to the neighborhood in which it is located. It has been the desire of Mrs. Wm. Emmanuel, the president, to find a suitable name for the work. The matter was presented to the board with the request that a list of names be sent in for consideration. The matter was acted upon at the last meeting of the Auxiliary Club and the name "Emmanuel," which interpreted means, "God with us." was offered. Mrs. Emanuel has always desired that her personal name be omitted as this is not one person's work, but a work for Humanity, practical effort towards solving some social problems. The name "Emmanuel" was selected and the work will be known in the future as the Emmanuel Settlement, a difference in spelling which eliminates all personality. Some of the activities are Day Nursery, Boys' and Girls' Club, Sewing Class, Weekly Lectures-Object: How to improve conditions in the home by the neighbors. Employment Bureau-Object: To remove the disadvantages of those who must earn their livelihood along various branches of service in this connection.

Washington, Feb.—At the Interstate Conference of the Salvation Army, held in the First Congregational Church a decision was practically reached that the welfare of the organization, particularly in the South, demanded a separation of the white and Colored workers. A spirited debate ensued when the question was broached, and Southern delegates clamored for segregation, while those from the North vigorously opposed such a revolutionary course. As an outcome steps will be taken to organize a Negro Salvation Army in the South, with a full equipment of Negro officers from top to bottom. THE MEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE.

Interesting Sketch of Dr. J. Marcus Cargill, Former City Councilman, Who Introduced Ordinance Which Gradually Eliminated White Teachers From Colored Schools. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON. Baltimore.--The great progress that has been made by the colored schools of Baltimore during the past decade has been due largely to the installation of colored teachers therein. The first colored teachers were employed in 1880, and for the next ten years they did not number a hundred. In 1895 Dr. J. Marcus Cargill was elected to the Baltimore city council, and almost immediately after he was sworn into office he began a campaign to have colored teachers installed in all of the schools maintained for the race in the city. He introduced an ordinance in the city council in December, 1895, providing for the gradual elimination of white teachers from colored schools. The white teachers in colored schools waged a vigorous campaign against the adoption of the measure, but with some amendments it was finally passed by both branches of the Baltimore city council in March, 1896. The ordinance was signed by Mayor Hopper a few days later. Dr. Cargill is the father of the law creating a distinct high school for the M. B. DR. J. MARCUS CARGILL. colored children of the city and making the curriculum of the same equal to that of the high schools maintained for the whites. During the latter part of 1896 he secured an appropriation of $28,734.97 for the erection of a colored school in northwest Baltimore. He retired from the city council in 1897 after rendering the race great service in promoting the interest of the public schools. Through his efforts there are now about 400 colored teachers in the schools, including twenty in the high school. The colored schools are divided into three groups and are under the supervision of Messrs. Joseph H. Lockerman, Harry T. Pratt and George B. Murphy. The principal of the high school is Professor Mason A. Hawkins, who is a graduate of Harvard and Columbia universities. Dr. Cargill was ordained an elder in the African Methodist Episcopal church in 1873. While serving churches in the Baltimore conference he studied medicine at Howard university, graduating in 1891. While stationed at the Watres A. M. E. church, Baltimore, the late Bishop Wayman was taken desperately ill, and the attending physicians had given up all hope of his recovery. Dr. Cargill called to see the sick prelate and was asked to prescribe for him. Under his care the bishop was brought around to good health and was able to continue much of his work for some time. The doctor's success in attending Bishop Wayman was heralded all over the country, and he soon found that he had a large practice. His practice grew so rapidly that he was compelled to give up the active work of the ministry. He is the founder of the Provident hospital, Baltimore, and for some years he had charge of the department of gynecology. He is also one of the few colored physicians who run sanitariums. He has long been a man of independent political views and has taken part in many municipal and national campaigns. Because Iowa university refused to leave Alexander, a Negro halfback, on the side lines when it played football with the University of Missouri the 1911 game has been called off. Alexander is the only Negro that has played on the Iowa team in recent years. He will graduate a year from next June, so that Iowa may be on the Missouri schedule year after next. An amicable agreement was reached to the effect that Missouri and Iowa should not play football together next CHIPS Mr. Ed. Scott who has been spending the winter in Michigan is visiting the city.

MANY NOTABLES ON PROGRAM Midwinter Meeting of Farfamed Social Organization Takes Up Life and Work of Two Great Americans. President Thirkield of Harvard University Makes Semiannual Report. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington. At the February meeting of the Mu-So-Lit club the evening was given over to a Lincoln-Douglass celebration. President Arthur S. Gray, the newly elected executive, was in the chair. Professor E. C. Williams, principal of the M Street high school, delivered a scholarly address on Abraham Lincoln. He traced with the precision of the careful student of history the career of the great "rail splitter" and discussed in detail the humaneness, the honesty and the originality of Lincoln. Professor Williams also spoke of Lincoln's great speeches, putting stress on his Gettysburg speech and the second inaugural address. Professor J. Montgomery Gregory of Howard university delivered the address on Fred Douglass. Mr. Gregory is a speaker of much force and earnestness and made a splendid impression on Washingtonians in this his malen speech here. He is a graduate of Harvard college, where he won honors as a debater. The lessons drawn from the life of Douglass by Mr. Gregory were impressed upon his hearers with much force. After rehearsing the early history of Douglass' life Mr. Gregory said that Douglass was never content until he measured up to the full rights of a DR. ARTHUR S. GRAY. man. He exhorted the men of the race to measure up to the full height of manhood. Judge M. W. Gibbs, formerly of Arkansas, who now resides in this city with his sou-in-law and daughter, Attorney and Mrs. N. B. Marshall, was the next speaker. Judge Gibbs has a most interesting history. He is in his eighty-seventh year, was prominent in Arkansas politics during reconstruction. was United States consul to Madagascar and has been commissioned to hold office by four presidents of the United States. He gave his early acquaintance with Douglass, which began in 1848, and spoke of the influence of Douglass on his life. "The life of Douglass convinced the world," said Hon. Charles A. Cottrill, collector of internal revenue at Honolulu, Hawaii. "that beneath the black face and kinky hair were limitless possibilities." Mr. Cottrill spoke also of the life of Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland of Newport, R. I., was also a guest of the PROFESSOR E. C. WILLIAMS. evening and made some pertinent comments on the lives of Lincoln and Douglass. Dr. Wheatland is well known in Washington, where he graduated from Howard Medical college. He is a former president of the National Medical association and is a physician and surgeon of renown. Dr. Wheatland and Mr. Cottrill were, upon motion of Hon. W. T. Vernon, given honorary membership in the Mu-So-Lit club. Short talks were made by Lleutenant Thomas H. R. Clarke, Dr. W. L.

Loubrie Hill, the leading Star in "My Friend From Dixie." sity, which was recently held in Carnegie library at the university, Justice Job Barnard, president of the board, presided. The report of President Thirkeld shows a favorable condition of the institution. The attendance surpassed that of any previous year, with an entering college class of 167 freshmen. This shows first a growing conviction on the part of the colored youth that if they are to meet the increasing demands of the race for leadership as physicians, preachers, teachers, lawyers and industrial leaders a mere preparatory course will not suffice. The fact that since emancipation there have been only an average of seventy-five colored graduates per year makes the need for college trained men apparent. This increase is also a prompt response to the enlarged opportunities open at Howard. Large numbers who formerly went to northern colleges now receive their training here. There are more than 600 students receiving popular instruction in physics, chemistry and biology in the new P. A. DR. MARCUS F.

Dr. Pezavia O'Connell of Salisbury, Md., was unanimously elected to the chair of church history and Scripture exegesis made vacant by the death of Dr. John L. Ewell, who for twenty years held that position Dr. O'Connell is a man of unusual scholarship. Professor Morris Jastrow, Jr., of the University of Pennsylvania, where Dr. O'Connell took his degree, says: "He has the mind and method of a real investigator, and I am satisfied that he will make additions to our knowledge of the Old Testament. He has also a most lucid and happy manner of exposition, and I cannot imagine any better fortune for aspirants to knowledge in a seminary than to come into contact with such a man." President Francis Brown of the Union Theological seminary speaks of him as "a scholar of remarkable ability and a gentleman of cultivation and personal attractiveness." The position in the School of Law made vacant by the death of Mr. Thomas I. Woodward, who for eight years had been a lecturer on the law of real estate, was not filled. On recommendation of the dean, Mr. George Francis Williams, one of the professors was appointed to temporarily fill the chair for the remainder of the year. The report of the treasurer showed the institution without debt. The budget for the year, however, reveals the fact that only by the most rigid economy can a deficit be avoided on account of the large increase of students and the enlargement of the teaching force. The rapid increase of Young Men's Christian association buildings for colored men in the north and south has made a demand for a training school for secretaries. At the urgent request of the International Young Men's Christian association committee the board has authorized the opening of a Young Men's Christian association training school, the work to be provided for by the present teaching force in the School of Theology and college, with assistance from the officers of the central Young Men's Christian association and from the two international secretaries who are located in this city.

C. He enlisted im the South Carclina volynteers, United States infantry, and served as commissary sergeant to the close of the civil war. He matriculated at Atlanta university, Atianta, Ge., where he recelved the degree of A.B. He also attended Wilberforce university. ‘Wilberforce, O.. and graduated from the theological department of Howard university, Washington, in 1872. He worked in the public printing office in Washington. where he invented a /printing and folding press. He was ‘one of the founders of the South Car olina conference of the African Meth- edist Episcopal church. He held all the important charges in this conference and served as a presid- ing elder in it for over twelve years, uring which time he published a weekly journal. He was dean of the theological department of Allen univer- sity, Columbia, 8. C., for four years. ‘While there he took a course in medi- cine. He was admitted to practice in the state of North Carolina In 1894. Dr. Hayne was an acknowledged Latin, Greek and Hebrew scholar, and for twenty-five years he made use of both public and private libraries in alt ferent parts of the country, sometimes at great sacrifice, to get the fullest Possible istory of his race.

PRESIDENT M’WILLIAMS TO LEAVE COREY INSTITUTE Has Accepted Call to the Third Baptist Church of Tolede, 0. “ sm Re DODSON. Perhaps no event in educational cir cles of tidewater Virginia bas caused more regret among both the colored and white people of that section than the announcement of the resignation of Professor B. F. McWilliams from the presidency of Corey Memorial in- stitute, Portsmouth, Va. President McWilliams has accepted & call to the pastorate of the Third Baptist church. Toledo, O.. which he gives as a reason for bis resignation from the presidency of Corey institute. He will, bowever. remain at the school until the end of the present school fear. The Third Baptist chureb is the leading church of the denomination in Toledo and corisiders itself fortunate in. securing the services of such an able scholar and pulpit orator. When Professor McWilliams took charge of Corey institute four years ‘ago the school was located in « ball. ‘The faculty at that time consisted of two teachers, and the total number of students in attendance was sixty-eight By persistence and the hearty co-opera- tion of a faithful board of trustees Dr. McWilliams bas placed the school upon an excellent working basis. ‘The enrollment this term is 169 sta- dents. The departments of the school are preparatory (nérmal). academic and ministerial. The plant is valued at more thao $10,000, upon which $6,000 has been paid. The white peo- ‘ple Of tidewater Virginia are deeply in- terested in the institution and have ex- Dressed their willingpess and intention of rallying to its support. Some of the best testimoniais in the Possession of President McWilliams are from the white people of the im- mediate community in which the Sehool is located.
