James Keeley, editor and manager of the Chicago Tribune, is having his day in court, as it were, for the latter part of last week and the first of this week, he has been engaged in testifying before the Lorimer investigating committee at Washington, D. C. and to say the least he has made a very poor showing and placed the Tribune in a position which is not to the credit of any first class newspaper.
On his direct examination he had smooth sailing and he and his attorneys carried everything before them without the least trouble, but he received a terrible grilling when he fell into the hands of Judge Haney.
He grew real red in the face under the hot grilling and he finally admitted on the witness stand that "The Tribune" paid Charles A. White $3,250 for his fake story.
That he first wanted $50,000, then he fell to $4,000 and at last he gladly accepted the sum first mentioned.
It was also brought out in the testimony of Mr. Keeley, that "The Old Trib" has expended more than $20,000 in its mad effort to down the Blond Senator, but has not and will not succeed in doing so, that for some time it gave its word and honor by advertising in its columns that it would give any one five thousand dollars if they could impart any information to it which would tend to prove that Senator Lorimer, either directly or indirectly paid out money to any one to aid in his election to the United States Senate.
Staggering under a great load of pain editor Keeley, was forced to admit that not one same man, woman or child came forward and even attempted to earn five thousand dollars of easy money in this direction, that with all the money at its command the Tribune was unable to buy any new light or information whatever, which connected Senator Lorimer with bribery in any manner, shape or form.
Edward Hines held his own before the committee and made a first class witness, the most important part of his testimony was not shaken by the Attorneys on the opposite side, he told a straightforward story respecting his connection with the one hundred thousand dollar found which was supposed to be expended in buying up the members of the Illinois Legislature, who on roll call assisted to put Senator Lorimer over.
Senators Root and La Follette, who would like to become presidents of the United States, have made themselves the laughing stock of the entire world for the part they have played in the Lorimer fiasco.
Both of these distinguished gentlemen, one claming to be an eminent lawyer, read the Tribune every day
and they greatly enjoyed in drinking in all the mean and bitter things which it has contained for years against Senator Lorimer and firmly and blindly believing every word it dished up in this respect they both umbosomed themselves of bitter speeches, in the Senate last winter attacking Senator Lorimer, banding him as a corrupt briber, a criminal and a low vile specimen of humanity who was in every way wholly unfit to associate with decent and honorable gentlemen like unto themselves, but the revelations of the last few days have even been an eye opener to Senators Root and La Follette and by this time they should certainly be convinced that they have been barking up the wrong tree.
Thomas McGuire, head of the McGuire and White Detective agency in this city testified before the committee on Thursday and while under oath on the witness stand, after carefully measuring his words, he declared that state's Attorney John E. W. Wayman, had paid his Detective agency almost one thousand dollars, the money coming out of the pockets of the taxpayers of Cook county, that it was expended for only one purpose, namely, to assist the Chicago Tribune in its fight against Senator Lorimer.
The United States Senate has expended almost one million dollars of the peoples' money in the wild cat Lorimer investigations and so far nothing good has come from it, except to gratify the Chicago Tribune, and its sorehead office seeking followers, it is high time to call a halt in this reckless expenditure of so much money which comes out of the pockets of the toiling millions and not out of the pockets of the rich or the high born or the bloated millionaires.
EIGHTH REGIMENT UNDER COL JOHN R. MARSHALL, DOES GOOD WORK AT TOURNA-
The Eighth Regiment, under the command of Col. John R. Marshall took an active and conspicuous part at the big military tournament at Grant's Park this week.
On Wednesday, Sergt. "Bill" Berry, the famous Eighth band and Regiment led the Dress Parade. The Colored boys were loudly applauded. It was on Thursday night when they took a real active part on the program. He came off the field amid cheers, the officers of the Governor's staff pronouncing them the "dineat" of the week. Their splendid drilling made week. Their splendid drilling made every one feel proud of the Eighth.
M. J. H.
JACOB J. KERN.
The real or the true record made by Jacob J. Kern, while he was State's Attorney of Cook County, is just beginning to dawn upon the minds of the people in this city and county, and he would make a strong candidate for the same position in 1912.
The real or the true record made by Jacob J. Kern, while he was State's Attorney of Cook County, is just beginning to dawn upon the minds of the people in this city and county, and he would make a strong candidate for the same position in 1912.
State's Attorney Wayman has let it be known that he expects to seek the Republican nomination for Governor. Mr. Wayman will have to make his campaign, of course, on his record as state's attorney. He has nothing else. What is that record? The figures show. They were printed yesterday and they show. They show that under Jacob J. Kern the state's attorney's office spent in four years $168,484.62 and obtained 2,684 convictions at an average cost of $628 each. In Charles S. Deneen's eight years the total expenditure was $436,153.17, the convictions obtained were 3,980, and the average cost was $1,096. In John J. Healy's four years the expenditure was $348,142.96, the convictions were 1,701, and the average cost was $2,047. But in the two years of Mr. Wayman for which the records are complete the expenditure has been $259,319.19, the convictions obtained only 655, and the average cost per conviction $3,960.
Mr. Kern was the most criticised state's attorney Cook county has had in recent years. Whether justly or unjustly, Mr. Kern was widely accused and denounced.
But how Jacob Kern shines when compared with J. E. W. Wayman! On the record Mr. Wayman's efficiency is 16 per cent of Mr. Kern's. For the money that Mr. Wayman takes to convict one criminal Mr. Kern convicted six and had some left for a seventh case.
This is the record on which Mr. Wayman will have to make his Governorship campaign. In the light of that record, no gift of prophecy is required to foresee the end of that campaign.—The Inter Ocean, July 23, '11.
It has taken many years for the actual truth to come out in relation to the splendid record made by Jacob J. Kern, while he was state's Attorney of Cook county and he would make a strong candidate for the same position in 1919.
CHIEF McWEENY, WILL ENFORCE THE ANTI-NOISE ORDINANCE.
Four or Five Thousand Peddlers Are
Last Saturday morning the writer called on Chief McWeeny and after being received with the glad hand he assured us that the police would do their duty and enforce the anti-noise ordinance in all sections of this city and we have unbounded faith in the statements made by him in this respect.
To come right down to it, the signs of the times seem to indicate that the absolute reign of the noisy peddlers is drawing to a close in this city where they have carried everything high handed for many years.
In beholding the hand writing on the wall, four or five thousand of them are at the present time out on a strike and much rioting and disorder prevails in certain sections of the city, they have already started in to destroy other people's property, and to end the lives of those who refuse to join them in their rape upon law and order and the upshot of it, all means that they have a longing to break into prison for life or to hang up by their stocks until they are dead, for law and order must prevail in Chicago peddlers or no peddlers.
OUR REVIEW OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, WILL BE PUBLISHED DAILY DURING THE SESSION OF THE NEGRO NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE.
Our Review of Little Rock, Arkansas, which is ably edited E. M. Woods, who is an active member of the Local Business Men's League and head of the Publicity Committee will transform the Review into a daily newspaper during the sessions of the Negro National Business League which will be held in that city, August 16, 17 and 18.
It will contain each day a full and complete stenographic report of the proceedings. Editor Woods knows how to do business right off the reel and he should be contented and happy for being able to turn his paper, at the time mentioned into a daily.
Booker T. Washington Again Fails to Prosecute Albert Ulrich
FOR KNOCKING HIM IN THE HEAD LAST MARCH IN THE FRONT HALL-WAY OF AN APARTMENT HOUSE.
IN NEW YORK CITY HE WAS ACCUSED OF INSULTING THE WIFE OF THE GERMAN JANITOR AND CARPENTER.
THE GREAT WIZARD OF TUSKEGEE WAS RESTING UP AT HIS FINE SUMMER HOME NEAR NEW YORK CITY.
WHEN HIS CASE WAS CALLED FOR THE FOURTH OF FIFTH TIME AND NEITHER HE NOR HIS LAWYER APPEARED IN COURT.
THE PAPERS CLAIM IT WILL NEVER BE TRIED THAT HE IS WILLING TO LEAVE HIS EPISODE IN NEW YORK "TENDERLOIN DISTRICT UNEXPLAINED.
THE NEW MOSES OF THE NEGRO RACE SEVERAL YEARS AGO SPENT A LARGE SUM OF MONEY IN ORDER TO PROSECUTE WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER.
FOR ASKING HIM A FEW QUESTIONS IN A PUBLIC MEETING.
BUT HE IS WILLING TO PERMIT A WHITE MAN TO ASSAULT HIM AND PRAISE HIM, FOR BEATING HIM UP.
It was stated in these columns several weeks ago that Booker T. Washington had gotten cold feet and that he never would prosecute Albert Ulrich the German janitor or carpenter, for knocking him in the head while he was hanging around in the front hallway of an apartment building in New York City, the middle of last March, for at that time the case had just been called in court and for reasons best known to himself he permitted it through his attorney Wilford Smith, who floated into New York City, from Alabama, some years ago to go over until another session of the court.
The case was again called up for the fourth or fifth time last week and there being no appearances it was sent to the foot of the calendar and it will not be reached again until the October term of court.
It appears that the great wizard of Tuskegee, at the time was at his fine summer home near New York City, but neither he nor his attorney, would consent to go within halling distance of the court.
The eastern newspapers claim that it will never be tried, that he is willing to leave his episode in the New York "Tenderloin District" unexplained. It seems very strange indeed that the great industrial educator has lost all interest in his case, for several days after he had met with his mis-
THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS WILL BE HELD IN DENVER, COLORADO.
The Negro National Educational Congress, will be held at Denver Colorado, August 12, 13, 14 and 15. Its officers are Prof. J. Silas Harris President; Prof Harry R. Graham Secretary; Col. George T. Wassom, Chairman ex. committee. The Congress will devote its entire time to working out some plan or plans whereby condition of the race may be bettered. During his nearly half century of freedom, the Negro has made marked progress along all lines of human endeavor, and the hope of the race lies in his ability to make greater strides in the future.
It will concern itself not only with the affairs of the men and women of the race of today, but seek to so guide and direct the youth that they may be better prepared than were their fathers and mothers to enter into all of the activities of life.
It is not the purpose of this Congress to supersede displace or usurp the plan of any other movement having for its object the betterment of the conditions of the race, but rather to contribute all possible support in the same direction.
To find some ground of mutual sympathetic and harmless co-operation upon which the races may work for the common good is an effort rich in possibilities and worthy of the time

hap he caused to be sent to his chain of hungry newspaper editors a statement to the effect that the white newspapers had not told the truth in connection with his case against Ulrich, that "he did not refer to him as Mr. Ulrich; that he had never intimated that he was justified in assaulting him that he intended to prosecute him to the bitter end" and so on.
But it seems that he was simply talking through the top of his hat and that he is too full of the white rabbit to prosecute any white gentleman for brutally clubbing him, no doubt he is of the opinion that his best southern white friends would never forgive him if he asserted his manhood in that or in any other respect.
Only a few years ago the new Moses of the Negro race spent a large sum of money in order to prosecute William Monroe Trotter, and to utterly destroy his paper The Guardian for simply attempting to ask a few questions in a public meeting which was held in one of the churches in Boston Mass.
But like the great majority of Colored men and women he is perfectly willing to permit white men to assault him and them and then praise them for beating them up and for otherwise mistreating them, but if a Colored man happens to look cross eyed at him or them they are willing to spend thousands of dollars in an effort to send him to jail.
and energy devoted to its development as intended through this movement.
If this Congress succeeds only in awakening interest and in changing conditions along one or two neglected lines it will have well rewarded each and every one who contributes to its success.
As it is one of the penalties of intelligence to burden its possessor with increased responsibilities to one's fellowman; and as the need of developing a higher type of useful and self-relying citizenship becomes the more apparent as the race advances intellectually, the men and women of today cannot escape their indebtedness to their less fortunate neighbors and to their own posterity.
The Congress will be held in Convention Hall, one of the finest public buildings in the country and one in which the people of Denver take great pride.
The first of this week, some strong arm men who knew the lay of the land, forced their way into the home of Dr. and Mrs. D. H. Anderson 3018 State street, and while they were "joy riding" in their pretty auto, the strong arm gentlemen got away with 50 bones of real good money, one or two diamond brooches and with some other valuable plunder.

STRONG FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Judge O'Rear, Nominated for Governor

Runner of Party's Success Next
‘Year.
Louisville, Ky., July 22—President
‘Taft has no more loyal supporters any-
where than in Kentucky, and every
mention of his name in the Republican
State convention tojay provoked the
wildest enthusiasm. The convention
adopted 2 platform that dealt chiefiy
with State issues, but the first -plank
contained in the platform was # ring:
ing: tudersement of the administration
of President Taft aid his candidacy
tor re-election in 1912. -
In the platform as originally adopt:
ed, of the ‘three Republican~ mem-
bers of Congress from Kentucky only
the name of Senator Bradley was men-
tioned. He was commended for sup-
porting the policies of the President.
Later, however, a resolution was adopt:
ed commending Senator Bradley, Rep:
resentative Caleb Powers and Repre-
sentative John W. Langley for their
support of ‘the President, and indorsed
their records in Congress.
‘Text of the Indorsement.
That portion of the platform con-
taining the indorsement of the Presi
dent is as follows:
“#We recognize the high character
and ability and distinguished public
service of Prétident Taft, and cordial-
ly and unreservedly indorse him for
renomination,jig 1912, We heartily
commend Senator William 0. Bradley
and our representatives in Congress for
the assistance they have given the
President in the rendition of these
services.’”

imated for goversior without _opposit-
ion; E. ‘T. Franks’and Lieut. Gov, Cox
declining at the last-moment to per-
mit their Games'to go before: the con
vention.
In his speech of acceptance Judge
O’Rear said he indorsed the platform
in whole and in part. He expressed
himself as being pleased with the in-
dorsement of President Taft, and said
that Republieam success -in Kentucky
next November would be the foreran-
ner of Republican snecess in the na-
tion twelve months later. :
For Bradley for Vice-President.
‘The convention adopted » resolution
indorsing Senator Bradley for Vice-
President. The resolution was propos-
ed by Caleb Powers. While the clerk
was reading the resolution a banner

the wildest enthusiasm prevailed.
_ Ap effort was made to. nominate for-
mer Congressman Don ©. Edwards for
jieutenant governor. His mame was
presented to the convention, but Mr.
Edwards insisted that he not be voted
for, ndiding that it would be impossible!
lor him to accept the nomination if it
was tendered him, as he had pledged
nis support to another candidate.
‘Tn’ an. interview tonight. Judge

‘agreed that the indorsement of Presi-
dent Taft carried with it the instruct-

lieves in making it and keeping it

MOUNT GLENWOOD CEMETERY
3 SUNDAY. JULY S3OTH, 1911
Greatest Excursion of the Season. Don't Fail to Come.
HIS is to be the greatest Excursion of the Season. Don’t fail to come out. Beautiful ride. Beautiful scenery. Great oppor-
T tunity to get a lovely lot at a low price and easy terms. Aside from your need of a lot for burial purposes, you will get a first
class sure profit investment. Lots in some Chicago cemeteries are selling for $2.500, $3.500, to $16,000. We believe Mount
Glenwood lots will, within a reasonable time, be valned at $450.00 to $1200.00. This cemetery, remember, is unique amd most ex-
clusively run for the people's benefit. We want our people to get the advance in prices, and so we do not wish to sell any large blocks
of lots to speculators. This excursion is for prospective lot buyers and those who desire to investigate the property. Therefore. no
children will be allowed om the train, neither are pleasure-seekers welcome. This isa Free Excursion, but, remember it costs usa
great deal of money to run 2 free excursion train and we are doing it only to make sales for the benefit of the Cemetery and we be-
lieve all lot owners will realize this and act accordingly. Send buyers out and bring buyers if you can, but don’t impose on our gen-
erosity, by making this a pleasure trip.
Mount Glenwood Cemetery—Yeour Cemetery: You ought to be proud of Mount Glenwood | You ought to assist
in every way to make the Cemetery the pride of Chicago and of your people. Education and property ownership of churches, schools,

prise and you are helping yourself.

WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY GETS BIG APPROPRIATION.
Professor Joiner's Efforts Double State Aid For Noted School.
Wilberforce. O.—The seventy-ninth assembly of the Ohio legislature which recently adjourned was quite severe upon most of the educational institutions which usually receive financial aid from the state. Wilberforce university was the only school whose appropriation for 1911-12 was not cut below that for the previous year. There are twenty-six state institutions for which the legislature was required to make appropriations. Out of the twenty-six all but one suffered cuts in their estimates for the next two years.
On taking charge in the fall of 1910 Professor A. A. Johner installed a new and improved system of accounts for Wilberforce university and suggested a change in the method of submitting estimates for the appropriations with the result that the appropriation for 1911 and 1912 almost doubles that obtained for 1909 and 1910
There are four educational institutions in the state for which the legislative appropriates. Wilberforce is one of these institutions. The three white colleges and their appropriations more than cut in half, while the amount asked for Wilberforce was allowed to the last cept.
The special appropriations amount to $10,220.09; the pro rata of the general levy due Wilberforce for the two years will be $46.500. This added to the special appropriations makes for Wilberforce $137,720.99 for 1911 and 1912
Some of the notable increases are as follows: The appropriation for 1910 was $8,000. for 1911, $12,600; appropriation for industries for 1910 was $4,000. for 1911 it was $6,417.85, but probably the most important increase, both as to amount and significance to the plant at this time is the increase in the amount obtained for repair and improvements which are badly needed upon the buildings and grounds. The appropriation for such purposes for the two preceding years was $1,800; the amount carried by the present appropriation for such purposes is $18,000, or just ten times the amount which was available for the past two months. Mans of the buildings are much in need of repair and much improvement on the grounds will be made possible.
But the work has not all been done on the outside. Every teacher who is now receiving less than $75 per month has been slated for an increase for next year.
An Invidious Inquiry.
It is related of the president of a famous college that at one time he allowed his wife to persuade him of the uselessness of fire insurance on household goods, and he allowed his policy to lace. But, better judgment asserting itself, he finally renewed his insurance. The same day a fire in his wife's room destroyed some of her dresses, which the professor enjoyed as a good job.
In due time the president of the insurance company wrote President Blank this letter:
"Dear Mr. Blank—We inclose check for $500, paying your fire claim under our policy B8007."

POINTS FOR BUSINESS MEN
Qualifications Which Each Should
Possess—Wanamaker as Example.
By ALBON L. HOLSEY.
Every business must have a head or executive department, which should embody three things: vi. ability to purchase, knowledge of salesmanship and knowledge of advertising. No successful business is complete without the three, and yet we rarely see a person capable of doing all three creditably. Perhaps John Wanamaker is the most acceptable example of the happy combination, and he is the orchinator of a certain style of advertising. A man who is skillful in the purchase of raw materials for his factory or of goods for his retail store and is a good salesman will "make a living" in any business.
Many colored business men whom we call successful] are merely the "making a good living" kind. These men are in the main satisfied to drift along in this manner when if they would add an equal amount of advertising with the same care and judgment their business would in most cases double itself in a few years and give employment to many persons.
PAGE RETAINED.
Head of University by
Oregon State Educators
The state board of education of Oklahoma did itself proud by reappointing Professor Inman E. Page to the presidency of the Oklahoma University for Afro-Americans at its recent meeting. The institution is located in Langston, Oklahoma, and has under the efficient management of President Inman E. Page for the past fourteen years become widely known. He is a graduate of Brown university and before going to Oklahoma fourteen years ago was president of the university for colored people in Jefferson City, Mo.
Professor Page knows both the value of a classical as well as an industrial education and is thus well qualified to give his students the best training for which their mental qualifications call for. Because of the satisfactory work of the school it received a gold medal from the Jamestown Westposition a few years ago.
HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELEBRATION
Public Exercises Held In Many Sections For Great Range Benefactor.
Public meetings for the celebration of the centenary of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe have been held in many sections of the country thus far this month by Afro-Americans who appreciate the work which Mrs. Stowe did in creating public settlement against slavery. Such meetings are eminently befitting for all men who love freedom and personal liberty should revere those who with pen, money, sword and personal influence helped to break down and destroy the unjust traffic in human flesh which lasted for centuries in America.
Perhaps the most notable meeting of the many was the one held in Fancull hall commanded for and carried out successfully by Afro-American women in Boston, Mrs. M. Crayath Simpson, president of the Afro-American Women's Anti-racism society, and her coworkers were prime movers of the celebration in which many distinguished persons took part, among whom were the Hon. Joseph C. Manning of Alabama, Mr. Frank Sanborn, Professor A. B. Hart of Harvard college, Mr. Agnes Adams, Mia Gardner and Mr. Brigham. The office of the Boston Guardian at 21 Cornhill street, where Harrison published the Liberator, was the Moors and headquarters of a constant strong of visitors throughout the continental festivities.
Mr. Manning in the exotium of his great speech said: "It makes the hearts of colored people ash to see the federal government going abroad to protect Americans and offering no protection to Americans who need it right at home. No foreign government would do worse to its own or American citizens than the American government is doing to its own citizens by
