Dunne, with the political bee buzzing in both of his ears, has started his boom for governor of Illirois in 1912. William L. O'Connell, County Treasurer, ExAlderman John J. Bradley, Clarence N. Goodwin and many of his other followers, are firmly of the opinion that he is constructed just right in every way to make a successful race for governor of this state and that the Democrats will carry everything in it in 1912, and that there will be several thousand more offices to devide up between those who assist to bring about the victory. It must be admitted that after all that is said and done that Edward F. Dunne, is very popular with the people and it might be that he will succeed in winning out at the primaries next April. Some of the wise politicians claim that he and his followers have joined hands with Roger C. Sullivan and his political associates and that with this combination, Messrs. Dunne, Sullivan and company, will put up a great fight to see which faction will control the delegates to the next national convention. Mayor Carter H. Harrison and his political warriors will enter the affray in dead earnest and fight to a standstill in order to capture the national committeeship and completely unhorse Roger C. Sullivan, fully realizing the fact that Mayor Harrison, is an old-time political fighter, many of the boys in the pit honestly believe that he will land on top in his scrap with the present member of the Democratic national committee from Illinois. Governor Charles S. Deneen, the past DEPRIVED OF VOTE IN SOUTH. Manning Tells of Disfranchisement in Alabama. The Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama is at present in Boston on a mission in behalf of the disfranchised, thousands unable to attain even a voice in the government of his State. Mr. Manning has made many speeches throughout New England, and has stirred up intense interest in the amazing revelation he has made concerning political and educational conditions in the South. Unassated 40 in House. Some facts which he has presented have caused great astonishment to his hearers, and have led to a lively interest in his work. Mr Manning has a great reputation as an orator and has a long political record. He has been for years a thorn in the flesh of the machine politicians of the extreme South, and some years ago, practically by his own efforts, caused the unseating of 40 Southern Congressmen on the ground of gross frauds which he had exposed. Bourbons in Control. Mr. Manning claims that the South is politically far worse off than it was 10 years after the war. He states that the Bourbon Democrats have a stronger grip on the government of week signed many new bills recently enacted into law by the legislature of this state, many of them possessing considerable merit, but he showed his broad-mindedness and liberty-loving spirit when he withheld his official signature from the bill or measure which had no other object in view than to curb the power and freedom of the press. Governor Deneen expressed his disapproval of the bill in the following straightforward language: "This bill prohibits the publication of any detailed account, statement or description of certain enumerated crimes, acts, or conduct in any book, newspaper, magazine, or any other written or printed publication. "This provision of the bill seems to be altogether too sweeping in its prohibitions. The publication of statements descriptive of the commission or attempted commissions of the crime of murder, may be not only legitimate from the point of view of news, but often an aid to the public authorities in the detection of crime, as well as a spur to the exercise of their best efforts in securing the apprehension and punishment of offenders. "As, in my judgment, this provision of the bill is an unwarranted interference with the liberty of the press in a matter in which its legitimate exercise is often a great importance to the public and the administration of the criminal laws of the state, I am constrained to withhold from the bill my approval." The united press of Illinois should rise up as one man and heartily thank Governor Deneen for taking a manly stand in this respect. the South than ever before, and that they have retained this by discouraging the Negroes from voting, and in some sections by not counting fairly the votes of the Republicans. He brings out the fact that there are 300,000 white men and 200,000 Colored men of voting age in Alabama, and that of these less than 125,000 white men and 2,500 Colored men are registered. He says that the great question in the South is not the Negro problem, but the political one of a free ballot and a fair count. How Would the Northerners Feel. "What would you people of Massachusetts say," said Mr. Manning last night to a Post reporter, "if one-tenth of the men of voting age in this State controlled every election and cast all the votes there were cast? "In Alabama by an ingenious system of disfranchising voters, the State Legislature sits at Montgomery on 70,000 ballots. Among the 70,000 only 3,000 are Negro ballots. "We have 500,000 men in the State over 21 years of age, yet a majority of the 70,000 is enough to control the State." State Not Advancing.

A. Comiskey's (White Sox) Baseball Park has been donated to the 8th Regiment for Sunday, June 18th. Col. John R. Marshall of the 8th Regiment was a happy man when he received a letter from his life long friend Comiskey, stating that he could have the park for June 18th to be used for the benefit of the regiment. The baseball magnate is a warm and personal friend of the soldiers and has often shown his appreciation for the boys of the 8th. This time his cup of kindness was overflowing in so generously donating the park. It will be one great day in Chicago. Colored and white are expected to be there by the thousands to see the 8th in drills, dress parade, wall scaling, sham battle, shelter tent drill, band concert and other exhibitions. Sights will be seen on this day that are similar to the ones beheld at camp or when a regiment is in actual battle. So much interest has been aroused in Sham battle that Gov. Charles S. Deneen and the colonels of the other seven regiments, their staffs and officers will be present to witness the actions of the Colored regiment. The big event will be for the benefit of fitting up the interior of the regiment Armory that will cost $100,000, recently appropriated by the Illinois Legislature. working like Trojans to make Field Day a success and they are cordially asking the citizens of Chicago, white and Colored to "lend a helping hand." ABOLISH THE BREEDING PLACE FOR FLIES. Talking about the dangerous house fly is not enough to rid communities of this well known pest; there are certain things that must be done. Of course we can protect ourselves against files by carefully screening all doors and windows in our dwellings. We can keep all foods, including milk, so protected that files cannot get at them. But at the best it is a constant fight requiring never ending vigilance that keeps them out. But the most effective way to get rid of files is to abolish the places where they breed. If we can do this there will be no files to annoy us and to convey disease and suffering among the people. It is well understood that fully ninety percent of all files breed in manure piles, the remaining ten per cent in garbage or animal and vegetable refuse. It is clear then that if we can keep files away from manure we can almost wipe out the fly nuisance. At any rate we can materially reduce it. In and around stables there is always manure. This should be kept in carefully screened and covered receptacles so that files cannot lay eggs in it and thus breed many millions more of their kind. Files multiply with marvelous rapidity. It takes only ten days from the time the eggs are deposited in the manure pile until the files are fully hatched out and swarming everywhere, carrying disease germs wherever they go and always busy laying eggs that mean more files and more sickness and more deaths. Stables where horses re kept should of course be well ventilated, but all window openings should be carefully screened so that files cannot get in. This will not only prevent files from breeding, but will save the horses much annoyance, which tends to keep them irritable and in poor condition. Garbage can should be kept clean and carefully covered so that files cannot get at the contents. Spraying the can with a mixture of kerosene and crude carbolic acid, one table-spoonful to a quart of kerosene, will destroy both the eggs and maggots. It will also prevent files from lighting on garbage. Madam E.

Azalia Hackley, who would be a great honor to any race of people on earth, returned to Chicago for a short rest at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Mead, 6351 Vineennes avenue, after a more than successful six months' tour through the Southern states, where she visited all the leading schools conducted for Colored people, and gave instructive and interesting recitals and demonstrations in singing in them and where she was everywhere royally received with open arms by its very best people, both white and Colored. Mrs. Hackley, in her observations durring her visit to the different sections of the South was favorably impressed with the substantial progress that is being made by the thrifty and industrious Afro-Americans. This is more notably true along educational lines. It was unmistakably indicated to her that the majority of the present or younger generation of Afro-Americans have a burning desire to acquire education and enlightenment along various lines. This was strikingly true in all the schools and colleges visited by her, and she takes pleasure in stating that "the deportment of the pupils and students attending them was very fine indeed; that they would sit perfectly motionless for hours at a time as long as any one was willing to impart information unto them, and they cannot be praised too highly for desiring to improve their status in every way in this respect." She is fully persuaded that the vast majority of the schools and colleges she frequented are managed by Northern white men and women, and that they are fully performing their mis- DEDICATION OF THE NEW LINCOLN CEMETERY.

Mrs Hackley is possessed of one ambition in life, above all others, and that is to assist to establish a national conservatory of music in connection with the Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. She states that, one of the Colored women working in that institution, for $30 per month, and that she is letting her wages run on until the amount of $1,000, and then the amount will be turned over to the projectors of the movement. This is a wonderful saerific on the part of a Colored woman who is unfamiliar with music, and if the ten million Afro-Americans in this country would give five cents each, or those who are able to do so would contribute $1.00 a piece, a national conservatory of music in connection with Fisk University would soon be an established fact. Thursday evening Mrs. Hackley gave a song recital and lecture on "Paris and its People," at the Appomattox Club, under the auspices of the Old Folks' Home. It was a most brilliant and enjoyable affair; the cream among the four hundred Afro-American leaders of society in this city were out in full force to greet her. This coming October she will give her retiring or farewell recital in Denver, Colo., Chicago, Pittsburg and New York City. On Wednesday evening she will leave the city for New York, where, for the next three months she will give instructions in music to advanced scholars. face of the Association 1124-30 N.

Washington, (Special) June 12. Oklahoma is wrought up over the action of the President in appointing W. T. Vernon, for some time Register of the Treasury, to the position of Assistant Superintendent of the Schools of the Five Civilized Tribes. The appointment is objected to because Vernon is a Negro. All the State officials of Oklahoma oppose Vernon. The matter will be taken up in all probability. The appointment was made by Secretary Fisher, but with the sanction of the President. Vernon is a protege of Senator Curtis, of Kansas, and it was out of consideration of Senator Curtis that he was named.

Y. created a most favorable impression recently lecturing on his book entitled "The Amonian or Hamitic Origin of the Ancient Greeks, Cretans and all Celtic races." Rev. Dr. Hayne does not admire or advocate any other name for the citizen of color than that of Hamite. Sailing under this flag and encompassed by this emblem he is able to trace the citizens or color's origin to the Greeks and Celts. He declares: "Within the proper historical and ethnic information, no individual can afford to write a single line or sentence that will in the least reflect discredit on the ancient glory of the "Black Man, unless he cares nothing for his reputation as an ethnologist, archaeologist, anthropologist, and a historian." He divides the white people who speak ill of the black man into three classess as follows: "First. Those who are prejudiced against him because of their profound ignorance of the race and its wonderful achievements in ancient times. Second. Those who are prejudiced against him because they know of his great mental capacity, and for which they envy him because of their own arrant, selfish bigotry. In emphasizing the necessity of agitation he says: "We need as a race the freedom of thought and the manly courage of a man to express it. Brasidas, the famous Loecedemonian general, caught a mouse; it bit him, and by that means made its escape. 'O, Jupiter,' said he, 'what creature so contemptible but m' have its liberty if it would contend for it?'" Rev. Dr. Hayne discusses racial characteristics practically dissecting the human anatomy so to speak, in making clear his position upon this all-important question. He even risks a comparison with the feet oblivious of the fact that if the Black Man can pass muster in that neighborhood he will never be weighed in the balances of racial comparison and found wanting. "The black complexion of the Shemites and Japhites is considered very comely, regardless of the causes and features," says he. He even risks a discussion of the "crisp hair" question, called derisively by some, wool, and he comes out shedding in the analysis of it. The citations from history, both biblical and profane, together with the facts cited from every day life make this pamphlet valuable to the student and to the orator as a store house of information along this line. Rev. Dr. Hayne in his researches went after information and he secured it. The pamphlet retails at $1.00 and may be obtained by addressing the author at 6 Downing Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Memorial Services will be held Sunday afternoon, June 25, in honor of Paul Laurence Dunbar, at 4 P. M. at the Institutional Church, $855 Dearborn street, Mr. Benjamin Washington, Instructor of Physics in the Armstrong Manual Training High School of Washington, D.

The Leland Giants are out of the city. The ball game at Leland Giants Park tomorrow will be between the Normal Parks, who will be the home team while the Lelands are away, and the Auburn Parks. A good game is expected. Did you see the game last Sunday, it was n corker and intensely intercutting. The Artestians put up a good still battle until the 6th inning when the Giants then the score, and in the fatal 8th put 3 more runs across the plate, making the score 6 to 3. The Leland Giants won their first game at West Baden Monday by a score of 5 to 2. Redmon, the Leland's south-paw artist was too much for the Spruedls.

Lewis of the Chronicle and several others were among the race building men of the race at the game Sunday. These men do not believe in optional nor enforced Jimcrowism. Would to God there were more men of this calibre in this town, who would talk less about Jimcrowism and other wrongs of segregation and act like men and support racial enterprises.—"P." NOT TO KISS, HIS CRIME. Faint-Hearted Gallant Under Ball for Disappointing Widow. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 13.—Alderman Donohue held Daniel Reardon under ball to keep the peace because he did not kiss Mrs. Mary Burke, a neighbor, after talking of doing so and being so timid that he finally had words with her about it, and Mrs. Burke had him arrested for disorderly conduct. When Alderman Donohue heard the facts he said: "Reardon all members of the female sex, from their infancy up, like to be kissed. Osculation is one of the necessities of life. I do not consider you gallant in having asked this woman for a kiss and then not taking it. I have found through experience that old women as well as young like to be kissed. It rejuvenates the old and makes the young take an interest in life. For your lack of gallantry I will hold you under ball and order you to pay the costs of the prosecution or serve ten days in jail." There are hundreds of fine looking and dashing widows, here in Chicago, who are just itching all over to have some kind of a man to buy and kiss them, and we suppose that like Sister Burke, they would feel that they ought to have the gentleman arrested who had worked them up to that point and then refused to do so.-Editor.

FOUNDER'S DAY DULY OBSERVED Nineteenth Anniversary of the Institution Directs Attention to Its Benefactors—What It Has Accomplished Under the Effective Leadership of President Collier and His Co-officials. Jacksonville, Fla.—Founder's day of the Florida Baptist academy was observed recently for the first time since the school was founded. It was an auspicious event among Afro-Americans in this section of Florida. Becoming cognizant of the great work being done at this institution, a number of the country's ablest educators and well known philantrophists accepted the opportunity to visit the college and make a thorough inspection of the work. Nineteen years ago this institution was started for the purpose of meeting one phase of the educational exigencies of the race in Florida. The scope of the work is now beyond the anguished expectation of Professor N. W. Collier and Miss Sharon Mowler, the great servitions of the cases, who have been with the institution since theception. The work of these faithful pedigrees was praised by a number of the prominent visitors. Mr. Robert G. Odenen, one of the race's greatest benefactors, was present and evidently was inspired by the thoroughness of the preparation of the students. His speech was full of optimism and proved exclusively that he was allied with the element working to develop the Negro for a mission contributing to the success of all movements for the comfort of man. He emphasized the necessity of allowing silent idolity to the highest ideals to be a potent factor in the student's life and that ultimately the prescription so evident against the ambiguous Negro would succeed to that which is just and unfulfitting. In his characteristic manner Rev. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, president of Howard university, addressed the large, cultured audience, eloquently spoke of the institution and elicited applause by his manly stand for the principles that make for a well rounded person. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of the First Baptist church, Knoville, Tenn., sustained his reputation as a forceful speaker, and, being identified with the school in its incipency, his narration of the early struggles of the school and its final achievements was enlightening and interesting. The man who is now in the timefight because of his energies being largely used for certain necessary reforms for the good of the inhabitants in the south, Dr. B. F. Riley of Birmingham, Ala., one of the Negro's stanchest friend for equal rights and fair play, unconpromisingly spoke in interest of the Negro and gave vital statistics of his progress, especially in the south. The personality of Dr. H. B. Frissell, president of Hamilton institute, and the atmosphere produced by this noted educator and Christian gentleman were wholesome, and the institution and community were benefited by his presence. Rev. George Sales, superintendent of the education work of the American Baptist Home Mission society of New York, with a number of the other speakers, commended Professor Collier for the ennobling work that he was doing. Demonstrations in cooking and serving and excellent paper by a number of students showing the high literary work of the school as the industrial feature were among the other attractions of the week. Miss Mary Berthune, the founder of the Girl's industrial school, Daytona, Fl., was present and was participants in the various exercises. A number of the cook and white pastors of the city were present and evidenced a keen interest in the work. Dr. J. E. Ford, pastor of Bethel Institutional church, this city participated in the various events. Among the distinguished visitors were Mr. and Mrs. William B. Scotfield and Miss Toustellon. Harpton institute: Dr Wallace Burtrick, secretary; educational board. New York: Dr. George Sate, New York city; Rev. N. A. Mackey, New York city; Dr Wickriff Rose, Washington D. C.; Professor B N. Valentine, Benefit college, Columbia, S. C. Mr. Scotfield is the alphne of Harriet Becker Stowe, and Mrs. Scotfield is the daughter of General Artillery, the founder of Hampton institute. Professor Sydney Woodward the noted tennor singer, was highly complimented for furnishing such an accomplished quartet that reflected credit on the richest. Theological Students Graduated Among the graduates from the General Theological seminary in New York on Wednesday, May 31, were Arnold H. Maloney and William B. Hendricks. Both men are West Indians and have made excellent records in their studies. Mr. Maloney received the degree of master of arts from Columbia university in 1910.
