CHARLES E.

This being true, it must be admitted that many prominent Afro-Americans, including lawyers, doctors, business men and those in the other walks of life, are coming out in favor of Carter H. Harrison for mayor of Chicago, and as an evidence of that fact, on Wednesday afternoon a largely attended meeting was held at the Briggs House, and another meeting will be held at the same place this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The meeting was ably presided over by Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, chairman of the Carter H. Harrison Central Colored Club. J. W. Cabble was secretary of the lively meeting, and it was addressed by former Alderman Thomas Carey, who has always stood very high in the estimation of thousands of Colored people in this city, Robert E. Burke, who saw to it that more than three hundred Colored men were placed in good positions in the service of the city, under the administrations of Mayor Carter H. Harrison, and Harry Goldstine, secretary of the committee on organization, and they were greatly pleased with the gathering. The other speakers to address the meeting were as follows: Rev. R. L. Darden, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church; Rev. R. Knight, Rev. Wm. Gray, Dr. Joseph Kelley, Wm. H. Clark, L. W. Washington, Walter Hill, L. A. Newby, R. L. Jackson, D. H. Young, Thomas Wallace Swann, A. Rowen, George J. Terrell, Elijah Smith and Messrs. Parker and Bernard and some of the various speakers ran away up into the very highest flights of oratory, while urging those present to stand by Carter H. Harrison to the last ditch. More than seventy-five thousand new names were added to the registration THE UNIVERSITY SOCIETY. The "University Society" is the name of a new organization recently launched in Chicago. Its object is "to encourage the study and practice of the highest principles of moral, intellectual and social development." Among the initiative steps the society will arrange to give to the public a series of lectures by speakers of national reputation. The subjects will be carefully chosen and the lectures systematically arranged. The first of the spring series will be given about April 1st. In addition to the lecture course, the society will hold public meetings in the leading churches once a month, at which time they will aim to present HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX list on Tuesday, March 14, and it seems that more people registered in the strong Republican wards than in the strong Democratic wards, therefore the Republican bosses claim that they got the best end of the bargain on registration day. Sheriff Michael Zimmer this week appointed two colored men to positions in the Criminal Court building. W. L. Jones, who has a strong following in the Twenty-first ward and a warm friend of James A. Quinn, will serve as one of the guards in the county jail, and Elijah Smith of the Third ward has assumed the duties as watchman. Within a very short time several other Colored men will receive consideration at the hands of Sheriff Zimmer. John A. Cervenka, clerk of the probate court, has appointed George D. Gray as one of the record clerks in his office. Mr. Gray began his labors the first of this month. He lives in the Sixth ward and resides in a nice flat building of his own at 4905 Wabash avenue. For some years he held a clerkship in the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and in every way he reflects credit on the Afro-American race. Charles E. Merriam, who ran over and trampled under his feet all the old time Republican bosses and their well established machine at the last primaries, will have a campaign fund of well on to five hundred thousand dollars, and money will be spent and flow as free as water and his managers and supporters will make a desperate effort to elect him mayor of Chicago. Therefore the high colonels, captains and the other chief commanders of the Carter H. Harrison forces must fully realize the fact that they have a hard combination to go up against, namely plenty of money and the "reform wave," and they will have to work day and night from now until the election and leave no stone unturned in order to land "Our Carter" in the mayor's chair. the best literary and musical talent that can be secured, making the program unsurpassed in the point of excellence. If the purpose, as set forth in the constitution, be zealously carried out, the organization will soon become one of the most unique in the country, and will be, in the highest sense, a "University Society." The officers are: Thomas S. Ewell president; W. B. Douglas, vice-president; Mamie E. Gains, recording secretary; Katherine E. Williams, corresponding secretary; Elmer Richardson, treasurer; Frank W. Henry, journalist. The other members are: Misses Annie Lowry, Vera Weasley, Almeca Sears, Ida May Steaverson, Gladys Edwards, Kate S. Williams, Grace Clark, CHICAGO, MARCH 18, 1911. ALDERMAN MICHAEL McINERNEY. The People's Candidate for Alderman of the 30th Ward, Who Has Honestly and Faithfully Served Them in That Capacity in the Years That Have Passed and Gone. Alderman Michael McInerney, the regular Democratic candidate for Alderman of the Thirtieth ward, is making a winning fight all along the line, and instead of being a Democratic candidate, for many white and Colored Republicans, residing in all parts of the ward, are not only in favor of his re-election to the city council, but will vote for him on April 4th, for they feel that, with the election of Carter H. Harrison as mayor of Chicago, that Alderman McInerney can accomplish more for the people in the Thirtieth ward than some unheard of new man who would have no standing in the city hall. These are some of the vital reasons why all classes of the people in the ward should favor his return to the city council. Under the most trying conditions of the past two years, and at other times, he has earnestly labored for the best interest of all of its citizens. est if he is poor, he's a bad man.

FOREMAN, WHO ENTERTAINS NO LOVE AND NOT MUCH RESPECT FOR COLORED PEOPLE. THE BROTHER OF MR. TEARNEY IS AN INSTRUCTOR IN A SOUTHERN COLORED COLLEGE. THE DEMOCRATIC ALDERMANIC CANDIDATE EMPLOYES FIFTEEN COLORED MEN ALL THE TIME ANR HAS A COLORED SECRETARY. HE IS WILLING TO GIVE EVERY MAN A SQUARE DEAL IN THE RACE OF LIFE. LET THE COLORED VOTERS OF THE THIRD WARD RALLY TO HIS SUPPORT AND LET US HELP THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP US. Mr. Albert R. Tearney, who is the regular Democratic Candidate for Alderman of the third ward, was born in Chicago, and has always lived on the south side. His Business and Executive record is without a blemish. Mr. Tearney, is a self made man, which gives him the benefit of knowing how to treat and deal kindly with his fellow men. He comes from a family that have always felt kindly towards the Colored race, and at present, Mr. Tearney has in his employment fifteen Colored rien. One of his brothers, is located in Galveston, Texas, and holds the position of Director of Manual Training of Colored schools, and he constantly has a fight on his hands on account of contending for the same training for the Colored, as are accorded the whites. Mr. Tearney, has a keen appreciation of the existing conditions and needs of the majority of the * people of the third ward, and he is determined, should he be honored by the voters of the third ward, to represent them in the City Council, he will see that each section of the council is given the proper attention, let it be Armour avenue or Grand Boulevard. His plat form will be "Modern Street Cars on IF YOU ARE A VOTER IN THE THIRD WARD, DO NOT FAIL TO READ THIS!! During all political contests, it is to be expected that the party to which the respective Candidate is affiliated with, will make every possible effort to reach the voters in the interest of their candidate, either through their workers in the various precincts, or by sending out political literature telling why their candidate should be elected. But in the present Aldermanic contest, in the third ward between Alderman Milton J. Foreman and Albert R. Tearney, there is this unquestionable difference; Alderman Foreman, is and always has been the representative of the (SILK STOCKING) element in the East end of the ward, and ignoring the Colored voters on the whole. Having known Mr. Tearney, personally for the last fifteen years, and coming in contact with him almost daily during that time, I feel that a word from me to the Colored voters of the ward, concerning Mr. Tearney, will be worth some thing, at this time. Mr. Tearney's business and executive ability commends him to the office. He is a self made man. If he is elected, there need be no fear that the (little fellow can not see him, as the door of his office will always be open to his constituents, let them come from the Boulevard or from Armour avenue. Mr. Tearney, roes not believe in segregation, therefore, if there happens to be a large number of Colored voters in his precinct, he will not have the precinct devised as Alderman Foreman, did in order to get the Colored voters out of HIS, aristocratic precinct, and incidentally get a Colored man, who happened to be myself, off of the election board, as clerk. Mr. Tearney, stands for a square deal for all. Very truly yours, JULIUS N. AVENDORPH. ARNEY Candidate man in the Third AN MILTON J. FOREMAN, WHO AND NOT MUCH RESPECT FOR ARNEY IS AN INSTRUCTOR IN A COLLEGE. ANIC CANDIDATE EMPLOYES ALL THE TIME ANR HAS A COL- EVERY MAN A SQUARE DEAL IN OF THE THIRD WARD RALLY LET US HELP THOSE WHO ARE Cross streets, Clean Alleys and the removal of Garbage and Ashes Regularly." Mr. Tearney, will deal with the voters of the ward as one big family, thereby, treating every voter in it as a MAN, let him be the humblest private in the rear ranks or the highest officer in the army. Mr. Tearney has been one of the leading promoters of Amateur and Semi-professional base ball for the last fifteen pears, until last season, when he was elected President of the Three I Base Ball League, but with that elevation, his attitude towards the less fortunate fellow has not changed at all. He is still the same Al. If the Colored voters of the third ward will unite their forces in this campaign for Mr. Tearney there is absolutely no doubt his being the next Alderman. He is in this fight to stay, win or lose, and any rumor to the contrary is false. Alderman Foreman, the Representative of the "SILK STOCKING VOTERS" gives it out, that he cares nothing about the votes of the Colored men of the ward. Therefore, there was never a more opportune time than now to show that we are capable of resenting an insult, by giving the solid Colored vote of the ward to Mr. Tearney. THE BELIGION OF REASON. By Geo. F. Butler, A. M., M. D. In these days of new thought, new creeds, new religions, such as Dr. Eliot's Religion of the Future, the Emanual Movement, etc., what's the matter with this: "To love justice, to long for the right, to love mercy, to assist the weak, to forget the 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, and love wife and child and friends, to make a happy home, to love the beautiful in art, in nature; to cultivate the mind, to be familiar with the mighty thoughts that genius has expressed, the noble deeds of the world; to cultivate courage and cheerfulness, to make others happy, to fill life with the splendor of generous acts, the warmth of loving words; to discard error, 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." Ingersoll thus defined his religion, and it embodyss about all; followed, it would be a mighty help to health and happiness and the world would be better than it is. If Booker T. Washington would do like Roosevelt has been constrained to do, find a seat somewhere and sit down, the Colored people might make some headway against proscription. It is that eternal mouting of his advising the Negro to "lay low and keep dark" that encourages white men to say that the Negro has no objection to these oppressive measures. Let him go to Tuskegee and stay there.—The Advance, St. Louis, Mo.

Nelson, who was driving a furniture van blocked an Elston avenue car, and when Policeman Knack ordered him to drive cut he threatened to fight Knack, who then hit him on the head with his club. The Colored people residing in Hyde Park, will in the near future hold a public meeting for the purpose of raising some money to employ attorneys William G. Anderson and A. L. Williams, to make it mighty hot for Police officer John Knack, for causing the death of Robert Nelson. NEGRO SOLDIERS DEBARRED. The refusal of the British war office to detail a detachment of African troops to participate in the coronation of King George, which was erroneously explained to be on account of the attacks of native blacks on white women, is for another and more serious cause. The African blacks are growing restive under the white man's domination in their native land, and fearing that the black soldiers upon their return would spread further discontent after one taste of civilization, is the true story of their non-appearance. The first explanation given is an artifice to gratify prejudice and suppress inquiry into the facts of their absence from the crowning of their nominal white king.—Ex.

They were James Robinson, 26 North Armour avenue; William White, 2600 Armour avenue; Ollie Jurricks, 4737 Dearborn street, and John Ashbury, Jr., 3240 Calumet avenue.

The case of 3 young Colored girls who were given shelter and placed in good homes calls attention to the great need of a home for our girls who are released by the courts and who have no money or friends. The case of Florence Nelson, the 16 years old girl who was arrested and taken to Hyde Park station after she had run away from the white family, who brought her here from southern Florida is an example of the many similar cases. The girl had no friends to give her any aid. The Lieutenant Mr. Childs notified Mrs. Wm.

The Settlement Club will decide at their next meeting the advisability of raising funds to send this girl to her mother. This is the 3rd instance in which it was necessary for Mrs. Emanuel to take in young girls who have no funds to pay their expenses in some institution. NICE PLACE FOR MARRIED COUPLE.

Some people find it difficult to determine just what constitutes a man's income for the purpose of taxation, but a justice of the peace in a New Jersey village was intent upon there being no mistake in his case. He made his return to the tax assessor in the words: "For the last two years my income has been a little under $000 a year, but in the future it will be more precarious, as the man from whom I borrowed that money (my father-in-law) is now dead."—Brooklyn Life.

Men have already been put to work at the Cemetery, improving, the streets, rounding up the graves, pruning the trees and in other ways beautifying the grounds. The Association proposes to build a commodious Chapel with a rest room attached. It will also build a vault which is much needed. The beautiful gateways which are now under construction will be completed, and a substantial fence built in the near future. As all of these improvements will increase the value of the lots very fast, it will be to the interest of all who can to buy lots while they are cheap. 6 Grave lots $45 to $50 each, 8 grave lots $55 to $60, about what you would have to pay for a single grave in the older cemeteries. Terms are so easy, $2 cash and $2 per month. These lots will double and thrible in value before you get them paid for, on above easy terms. Call at the office for Free tickets to Cemetery and return any morning at 10:30 a. m. sharp, if you want to buy a lot. Delay is dangerous. Write for fine illustrated folder and price list to day.

In the highlands of central Asia lives the snow leopard, which never descends below the snow line of the mountains. Its color is a gray, inclining to buff.

The comparatively enormous tail of the animal is fully as long as its body. The Kangaroo. Kangaroos are, gradually disappearing from Australia. Now the number is only about one-tenth of what it was thirty years ago. tiful denwood MORE BEAUTIFUL SIRES AND SONS.

When Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and labor, is pressed with work in his office in Washington he does not go out for lunch, but sends to a dairy lunch counter for his sandwich. As the new president of the American Association For the Advancement of Science Professor Albert Abraham Michelson has come into a distinction which brings him into prominence throughout the entire world of science. A boy of fifteen, C. F. Waters of Epsom, secured first place in the last examination of the Royal College of Organists in London. There were 204 candidates, of whom only thirty-four passed. For eighteen months he has been organist at a city church. John R.

A tasty way of using left over boiled rice is to put a piece of butter in the frying pan and add the rice when the butter sizzles. Fry until brown. The French chef fries sprigs of parsley crisp in deep fat and serves them around the platter of the fish course. They are cooked only a minute or two and do not lose their green color. Sporting Notes. The University of Colorado is to have a new athletic field. A $50,000 fund is being raised to finance America's Olympic team at Stockholm in 1912. Hibbard's Hercules is Florida's "white man's hope." The new pugilistic asplant weighs 260 pounds and is big in proportion. "Gom" Goodale, last year's freshman captain, will stroke Harvard's crew.

In London 900,000 persons are living more than two in a room and 26,000 six or more in a room. Free legal aid is being furnished to the poor in Kansas City, Mo., at the expense of the municipality. Out of each dollar of New York city's budget for this year 20 cents will be paid out on old debt account. Constantinople is to be lighted by electricity, and work on the power house at Kiathane will begin at once. State Lines. Illinois is the largest corn growing state in the Union. The state of Massachusetts at one time previous to the Revolution claimed the Pacific ocean as its western boundary. If Texas were as thickly settled as Rhode Island it would have 134,000,000 inhabitants, almost one-tenth of the entire population of the globe. Every man, woman and child could have more than an acre of land at that. Automobiles. New York city has more automobiles run at the public expense than London. Berlin and Paris combined. An automobile testing plant has been installed by the University of Kentucky for use in research work on the subject of power plant efficiency. The Moscow postoffice has made a contract with an automobile company for carrying all mails between the general and branch offices and the railroad stations. Recent Inventions. To make it easier to pick up a needle an inventor has placed a small horseshoe magnet on the side of a thimble. In a can opener patented by a Washington man the downward movement of a lever cuts out the top of a can and the upward movement removes it. To save the trouble of using metal fasteners to hold several papers a hand punch has been invented which makes tongue shaped cuts in several sheets at a time and folds the tongues together.

After describing its natural features, people, commerce, industries, products, etc., he gave his class a test to find out how much they remembered of what he had told them. Having received satisfactory replies to a number of his questions, he asked, "Now, who can tell me what the principal products of Peru are?" Instantly there came from somewhere in the rear of the room the answer, "Prunes."—Philadelphia Record. There's hardly been a year of late when people didn't ask. Shall woman have this privilege? Shall she perform that task? "Shall women smoke?" "Shall women bike?" are samples we may quote. Today of course the problem is, "Shall women have the vote?" If I were called to arbitrate this answer I would give. "She shall." "Twould solve the problem just as surely as you live." From what I know of woman's will, of which she has no knowledge, I am certain if we said "She shall" she'd tell us that she won't. —Boston Transcript. Father S. was remarkable for his ready wit. On one occasion while traveling on a steamboat a well known sharper who wished to get into the priest's good graces said: "Father, I should like very much to hear one of your sermons."

It is said that the jury which tried one Earle McFarland, a white criminal, for his life in Galveston, Tex., recently was composed of six colored men and six white men. The case attracted wide attention, as it is believed by those who profess to know to be the first instance of the kind in the history of criminal proceedings in the Lone Star State. Be that as it may, we see nothing in the selection of colored men to serve as jurors at the trial of a white man over which to exult. If the jurors were each citizens of the United States and of the commonwealth of Texas, adjudged by the commissioner of jurors to be competent to determine the innocence or guilt of the criminal according to the facts in the case from a legal standpoint, that is all that is necessary. THE TIME FOR MINISTERS TO ENGAGE IN POLITICS One of Six In Savannah, Ga., Who Knew When to Act. On ordinary occasions there is but very little necessity for a minister of the gospel dabbling in politics, says the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune, but when a moral issue is at stake or the good of his people threatened then it becomes his duty to himself and to his followers to join them in their efforts to uphold the honest integrity of the community and to protect their rights. On a recent occasion a duty similar to this devolved upon one of our six ministers, and he was not found wanting, but in a most earnest manner gave his people good advice. This is the sort of man the ministry needs, one who is not afraid to voice his opinions when they are needed, even though it be in a political meeting. Reopening of Concord Literary. Now that the series of religious meetings at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ have come to a close the Concord Literary circle will resume its meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Thursday evenings in the month. President Walter K. Taylor and the board of managers are very much encouraged over the outlook for the circle for the spring term and have announced the reopening of the meetings for Thursday evening, March 23. The circle is the leading literary organization in Brooklyn and is rapidly extending its influence and helpfulness throughout Greater New York. High school night at the circle will occur in May. Deathblow to Class Legislation The West segregation scheme which was got up and passed by the city council of Baltimore for the purpose of preventing colored people from living in streets where the majority of residents were white has been declared null and void. The sooner all such unjust measures are wiped out of existence in the United States the better. Class legislation has no place in a rpublic. The West ordinance was a disgrace to the intelligent citizens of Baltimore. It deserved the death which it died. In all such cases there should be no resurrection.—Dodson.
