THIS INCIDENT IS FURTHER ARD OF TUSKEGEE ADVISING THE COLORE MIT TO ALL KINDS GIVE UP THEIR CIVIL THE SAKE OF PEACE. IT IS THEREFORE AS CLEAR HE HAS FALLEN A W ING AND DOCTRINE. The whole civilized world was shocked to learn through the associated press last Monday morning that on Sunday evening, March 19th, Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Alabama, was murderously assaulted in the front hallway of an apartment house, at $11\frac{1}{2}$ West 63rd street, New York City, while he was simply engaged in an honest effort to locate a white gentleman by the name of D. C. Smith, auditor of Tuskegee and a public accountant with offices at 32 Broadway, who was stopping at $11\frac{1}{2}$ West 63rd street, with friends at the time he was being sought by Mr. Washington, and without the least warning he was severely struck three or four times on the head with a club by Albert Ulrich, who seems to be a common rough white gentleman with two living wives, and as Mr. Washington attempted to defend himself, and escape from the front hallway of the building with his life, Ulrich, was joined by another white gentleman who assisted to attack and assault him, in endearvoring to find a place of safety or protection Mr. Washington finally ran across a policeman and after informing him as to what had happened to him Ulrich, was duly arrested but in the excitement of the moment, the other white gentleman made good his escape, after Ulrich had been locked up by the police, Mr. Washington was conveyed to the Fowler hospital where the many wounds on his head were dressed and for sometime he was unable to leave the hospital and return to his rooms in the Manhattan hotel. In order to try to make it easy for her husband Mrs. Ulrich, claims that as she passed through the front hallway with her dog, that Mr. Washington exclaimed "Hello, sweetheart," as though he wanted to make love to her, but J. H. Benton, his two daughters and other ladies and gentlemen living at that number contend that they passed in and out the front hallway at the time Mr. Washington was engaged in ringing the bell to the flat he thought Mr. Smith was stopping in with his friends and that he paid no attention to them. Many evil minded persons both white and Colored are at this very time laboring under the impression that being far away from home Mr. Washington was endeavoring to cover up his prominence or his identity, so that he could scatter some red paint and have a good time with some white woman, but according to our way of thinking he would not be forced to do anything of the kind, and if he wanted to violate his marriage vows in this respect, with all the money at his command. All he would have to do would be to snap his little finger and thousands of good looking white and Colored women who amount to HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY something in this world would be perfectly willing to embrace him for his money and he would not be compelled to attempt to make love to the second handed wife of a common janitor. It is the duty of Mr. Washington to prosecute his assailant to the bitter end and to learn him and his friends to remember one thing namely, that all Colored men do not act and look alike. Seth Low, ex-mayor of New York City, President William H. Taft and many other prominent men, who are high up in the financial affairs of this country who are numbered among his best friends have sent him letters of sympathy and offering to stand by him. On Wednesday President Taft, penned a personal letter to Mr. Washington, as follows: "I am greatly distressed at your misfortune and I hasten to write you of my sympathy. . . . (I want you to know that your friends are standing by you in every trial and that I am proud to subscribe myself as one." The white citizens of Greenville, Ala., are anxious to raise funds to assist Ulrich, in defending himself in the courts against his prosecution by Booker T. Washington, and to make him a hero for cowardly attacking the foremost white or Colored citizen, residing in the rotten state of Alabama. This incident is further proof; that the great wizard of Tuskegee, deals in false logic, and has extensively dealt in it, in the past by advising the Colored people to tamely submit to all kinds of brutal treatment, to give up their civil and political rights for the sake of peace and harmony and to appease the southern whites in all things, in relation to the Négro. It is therefore, clearly evident; that Mr. Washington, has fallen an unwilling victim, to his own destructive teachings and doctrine. Notwithstanding this fact, it is the duty of every patriotic citizen throughout the length and breadth of this broad land to extend his unbounded sympathy to Mr. Washington at this particular time!

EX-ALDERMAN WILLIAM T. MAYPOLE. The regular Democratic Candidate for Alderman of the 14th Ward who looks like an easy winner to his thousands of steadfast friends in that neck of the woods and to the voters in general, throughout the ward which he has so ably in the past represented in the city council. Ex-Alderman William T. Maypole, who consciently served in the city council from the Fourteenth ward for twelve years, prior to 1908, and his record stands forth for all those years without a blot on it; and so far it has not been surpassed. He was one of its most conspicuous leaders and members. During his last term in the council he was its vice president, minority leader, member of finance, local transportation and gas, oil and electric light committees, chairman of finance sub-committee on personal injuries and claims, member of the committee on streets and alleys, west. He was also for some years a member of the committee on track elevation. It cannot be otherwise but observed that he was one of its most active and influential members and earnestly labored for the benefit of the people residing in all parts of this city, as well as those residing in the Fourteenth ward. of the railroad tracks on West Kinzie street and the awarding of damages to property owners effected thereby. Alderman Maypole was also instrumental in having West Lake street widened at the expense of the Lake St. Elevated Railroad Company, and compelling it to abandon the use of its old structure for the storage of cars; he also saw to it that the triangle at Grand and Western avenues was greatly improved, the new branch public libraries at Kedzie and Kinzie, and at Ohio and Oakley avenues were established through his untiring energy. Many other improvements which are public benefits to all the people in the Fourteenth ward must and should be credited up to Alderman Maypole. More than 1,200 electric lights were installed in the various parts of the ward while he was a member of the city council. In short, Alderman Maypole was one of the most valuable and energetic members of the council that the Fourteenth ward ever had. He not It was through his influence that new fire engine houses were constructed at Huron and Lawndale, and at Erie and Western avenues, and that a magnificent new school house was erected at North Sawyer avenue, besides numerous school building improvements and playgrounds beautified for the children. He also caused the removal of the old unsightly viaducts at Ashland and Kinzie, Western avenue and Kinzie, and at Humboldt and Garfield Park boulevards. Moreover, it was through his untiring efforts that Sacramento avenue was opened as a traffic roadway, and boulevarding it and raising of subway, which later on led to the elevation REV. THOMAS DIXON JR., WILL APPEAR IN HIS ANTI-NEGRO PLAY "THE SINS OF THE FATHER" SUNDAY, MARCH 26. THE PROTEST OF MRS. IDA B. WELLS-BARNETT AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF HER COMMITTEE WERE IN VAIN. For the past two weeks it has been heralded far and near, that Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., the most bitter and the greatest arch enemy of the Negro race, in America, would appear at the Princess Theater, Clark street, near Jackson Blvd., Sunday, March 26, in his play, entitled "The Sins of the Father." It is contended that the play is gotten up for the sole object of manufacturing race prejudice, against the Negro and placing him in a false light before the public; holding him up as possessing no other object or ambition in life than to rape, and make love to white women. This being the object of the play on Thursday morning, Mrs. Ida B. W. Barnett, and J. P. Winstead, J. O. Smith, R. E. Brown, W. N. Peters and others composing the committee, called on Assistant Chief of Police of the railroad tracks on West Kinzie street and the awarding of damages to property owners effected thereby. Alderman Maypole was also instrumental in having West Lake street widened at the expense of the Lake St. Elevated Railroad Company, and compelling it to abandon the use of its old structure for the storage of cars; he also saw to it that the triangle at Grand and Western avenues was greatly improved, the new branch public libraries at Kedzie and Kinzie, and at Ohio and Oakley avenues were established through his untiring energy. Many other improvements which are public benefits to all the people in the Fourteenth ward must and should be credited up to Alderman Maypole. More than 1,200 electric lights were installed in the various parts of the ward while he was a member of the city council. In short, Alderman Maypole was one of the most valuable and energetic members of the council that the Fourteenth ward ever had. He not only had the time, but also the ability, as well as the pride to represent each and every citizen in the Fourteenth ward in the council chamber and the city hall as well, and if should be the pride of every voter in that ward to assist to again permit him to wear the aldeemanic mantle. At all times Alderman Maypole has been a true friend to Arro-Americahs, who are worthy of the slightest consideration, and it is useless to state that the majority of the 1,000 Colored voters in the Fourteenth ward will nobly stand by him on Tuesday, April 4, and again assist to return him to the city council. Schuttler to urge him through the police department to suppress the play. But feeling that he did not have the power to do so, the whole matter was referred to Assistant Corporation Gounsel W. D. Barge, for an opinion and after-hearing both sides of the case which were presented by Mrs. Barnett, and Rev. Thomas Dixon, who met Mrs. Barnett and the members of her committee face to face, in the presence of Mr. Barge, it was decided to let the play have full sway at the Princess Theater. Then, if it proved objectionable, steps would be taken to head it off by the police department. It is our intention to be on hand at the Princess Theater Sunday evening to witness the play, then we will be in a better position to intelligently pass judgment on it. SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE VOTERS OF THE THIRD PRECINT OF THE 3RD WARD. On Monday evening, April 3rd a banquet will be given to the Colored voters of the 3rd precinct of the 3rd ward in honor of Albert R. Tearney, candidate for Alderman, of that ward, at 3339 Vernon avenue. C. G. S. Mills will be in charge. All are cordially invited to attend.

Harrison headquarters, 4744 State street, on Tuesday evening meetings were held at 2829 State street and at 852 West Lake street, and last evening a lively meeting was held in the A. M. E.

This coming week and until the close of the hot mayoralty contest, two or three meetings will be held each evening among the Colored people residing in the various wards on the West, North and South Side, and it is safe to say that they are fully determined to strike while the iron is hot, and that on Tuesday, April 4, between 65 and 75 per cent of the Colored voters in this city will record their votes in favor of Carter H. Harrison for mayor of Chicago. On Wednesday evening, March 29th a Carter H.

The work being done by the South for Negro schools is indicated in the fact that of $1,000,000,000 spent upon common schools in the 16 former slave States and the District of Columbia since 1871 at least $135,000,000 have been spent upon common schools for Negroes. In that territory the common school enrollment increased from 2,012,654 whites and 685,942 Negroes in 1870-71 to 4,692,927 whites and 1,655,781 Negroes in 1907-08. In 1860 there were in the public schools of the South 781,199 pupils out of a total of 4,855,894 in the United States, and the income of these public schools in the South was $4,473,370 out of a total of $32,543,519 in the United States. The popularity of the academy and other private schools at that time in the South was one of the influences against the spread of the common school idea there in that period. --- JULIUS F.

Apostie of Race Prejudice and Mob Rule, Crazy—Newspapers With- : hold News. One of the most pathetic and pe euliar conditions in the history of the United States senate is brought to public notice by the incident of recently, when Senator Tillman of South Carolina, in an attempt to pro- nounce an eulogy on dead fellow sens- tors, broke down in tears. The truth fs Senator Tillman's mind is gone. It is to the honor of the newspaper People of the country that tliose of them informed on public affairs have known many months that the senator was sufferinng from incurable brain trouble but not one of them ever had made even the slightest allusion to it. We take the Associated Press Dispateh telling of bis collapse to be & guarded official public infieation of the mournful truth. Perhaps this is considered necessary, because a man in Senator Tillman's condition and position might do vast harm un- jess the facts were understood. At the Democratic love feast ii Baltimore last month it was pitiful to see the man once so self-assertive, the man who used to sway and incite maddened crowds of sweating and muscular men, obviously an@ painful- ly trying to be his old self, to keep his attention fixed, to indicate his former understanding of what ess being done and said. This is the first time, we believe, in the country that ¢ senator mentally incapable, or fast approaching that condition, has held ® seat in the upper house.

Foreman and Albert R. Tearney, is one that directly concerns every Coloréd voter in the ward, therefore, since Mr. Foreman, gives it out that he cares nothing about the Colored voters, I thought a word from me, inasmuch as I have been in Mr. Tearney’s employment for the last seven years, might be of interest to the voters, as to his treatment of the Colored men in his employment, and his interest in the race. Coming directly in contact with Mr.-Tearney, daily, I am certainly in a position to contradict or affirm any statement made concerning him. I can trath- fally say: that Mr. Tearney’s interest and friendship for the Colored people, and particularly for those in his em- ployment, has been thoroughly test ed, as the (white union men( have made an untiring effort to have him replace his Colored men with white men, but on every occasion, they have been told frankly, that he would always retain Colored men. If the Colored .voters ever needed a repre- sentative in the City Council to whom they could go and get the proper con- sideration, it is certainly now, there- fore, if we will, to the the man sup-| port Mr. Tearney, in him, we will have such a man.

Every report showed marked progras im the different departments of the ‘church, during the past three months. Presiding Elder Dr. T. H. Tipton ‘was much pleased and complimented the pastor on the splendid organiza- don of the various departments of the chureh. Dr. Callis expressed him- self as being well satisfied with the way in which the officers, members and friends were taking hold of the work. The financial report of the trustee's, stewards and various church organizations were very fiattering. The reports of the leaders, the Superintendent of the Sunday School, the president of the Varick Christian Endeavor all showed a deopening of spiritual interest and advanced work along all lines.

During all political contests, it is to be expected that the party to which the respective Candidate is affiliated with, will make every pos- sible effort to reach the voters in the interest of their candidate, either through their workers in the various precincts, or by sending out political Hterature telling why their candidate should be elected. But in the present Aldermanic contest, in the third ward between Alderman Milton J. Fore man and Albert R. Tearney, there is this unquestionable difference; Al- derman Foreman, is and always has Deen the representative of the (SILK STOCKING) element in the Hast end of the ward, and ignoring the Colored voters on the whole. Hav- ing known Mr. Tearney, personally for the last fifteen years, and coming in contact with him almost daily dur- ing 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 abi- lity commends him to the office. He ig & 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 ave- nue. Mr. Tearney, roes not believe im segregation, therefore, if there happens to be a large number of Col- ored voters in his precinct, he will not have the precinct devided as Al- derman Foreman, did in order to get the Colored voters out of HIS, aristo- cratic precinet, 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 traly yours, JULIUS N. AVENDORPH. State Lines. Milinols is the largest corn growing state fu the Union.

MIXED, JURY TRY CRIMINAL 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 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 its 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 segregation - Dodson.
