The Deadly Political Fight Between Carter H. Harrison The "Man of Destiny" AND ROGER C. SULLIVAN IS ON IN FULL FORCE, AND IT IS WAR TO THE HILT TO SEE WHO WILL CONTROL THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN 1812. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARSTWOULD LIKE TO CAPTURE IT TO STRENGHTEN HIS PRESIDENTAL BOOM. CONGRESSMAN HENRY T. RAINEY HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS TO SUCCEED ROGER SULLIVAN ON THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE. EDITOR H. N. WHEELER CAME NEAR BEING MOBBED AT THE HARRISON AND HEARST MEETING AT SPRINGFIELD. THE HOT-HEADED FOLLOWERS, OR ADHERENTS, OF BOTH FACTIONS ARE SHARPENING UP THEIR KNIVES AND GETTING READY FOR THE FRAY. Vol. XVII The Deadly Between Carr The "Man AND ROGER C. SULLIVAN IT IS WAR TO THE CONTROL THE ILL DEMOCRATIC NATION WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEA URE IT TO STREM BOOM. CONGRESSMAN HENRY T. R BY THE PROGRESS CEED ROGER SULL NATIONAL COMMIT EDITOR H. N. WHEELER C AT THE HARRISON SPRINGFIELD. THE HOT-HEADED FOLLO BOTH FACIONS ARI KNIVES AND GETT The deadly political fight which has existed between Carter H. Harrison, the "Man of Destiny," and Roger C. Sullivan, for some years is now on in full force and it is fast becoming statewide in its proportions, and to a blind man sitting on the top most limb of a tree, it would seem that there will be war to the hilt to see who will control the Illinois delegation to the Dem. Nat. convention in 1912, and in order to secure the Illinois delegation and for the leaders of either side in this great political fight to successfully ride the Democratic mule, in the language of Mayor Harrison, they may go at each other with "axes and restore harmony," by knocking down and dragging out all those who are opposed to the onward march of William R. Hearst, in Illinois politics, at the next meeting of the faithful camp followers of Andrew Jackson, and most especially for the spoils, and the rich pickings that are in sight. One thing is dead sure and that is that William Randolph Hearst, would be willing to cough up many thousand dollars if he and his managers felt sock-sure that they could capture the Illinois delegation for the sole purpose of strengthening his presidential boom. Being hot on the trail of Roger Sullivan, Congressman Henry T. Rainey has been selected by the Progressive Democrats to succeed him as a member of the Democratic National committee. Already the fight has become so bitter between those who worship at the feet of Messrs. Harrison and Hearst and the supporters of Roger Sullivan, that H. N. Wheeler, who is one of the oldest Democratic editors in this state as he has been for many years editor of the Daily Journal of Quincy, Ill., came mighty near being mobbed at the Harrison and Hearst meeting at Springfield this week: it appears that Editor Wheeler, simply wanted to ask a question and thereupon he was branded as a follower of Roger Sullivan, and in the twinkling of eye, strong armed men were ready to lay their hands on him and throw him headlong out of the hall, and they would have accomplished or performed the disgraceful act or deed if Editor Thomas Rees of the Illinois State Register had not rushed to his side and shouted out in a loud voice, "You will not throw him out or if you do I will go with him." Editor Wheeler, after the excitement was over and after he had narrowly escaped from being kicked out of what he thought was a convention of free American Democrats issued the following statement." "Wheeler says that the proceedings He declares that the pro of the convention put the famous 1904 "train robber" convention in the shade as a brutal affair. He says that he has been a Democrat since he took Senator Douglas' advice and enlisted in the war in 1861 and served therein four years. He says that he has never bolted a Democratic ticket, and that one of the first things he learned as a Democrat was to fight for free speech. He adds that today's proceedings, in so far as he was involved, was an attempt in a so-called Democratic meeting to suppress free speech. Mayor Carter H. Harrison, presided over the Springfield convention and just before he ably wound it up, resolutions were adopted with a whoop and a loud shout, bitterly denouncing Roger Sullivanism and boss rule in general, at the same time demanding leaders of the party who will battle for old time Democratic principles. Just as the smoke of this the greatest of all political battles that have so far been waged in this state, was passing away, Roger C. Sullivan is sued the following clearly defined statement: "Brushing aside all befogging and befuddling claptrap and coming to the marrow of the situation, this is the fact: The purpose of this so-called 'progressive' Democratic movement is to promote the presidential aspirations of William Randolph Hearst, the movement being engineered by his Chicago representative, Andrew M. Lawrence. This movement is aided by Mayor Harrison because of ante-election promises made by Lawrence to Harrison that he, Lawrence, would turn over to Harrison the election commissioners' office of Chicago, which he did. "When I say Hearst is a candidate for the Democratic nomination I speak advisedly. The reason why Hearst and his following are opposing me is that I refused to introduce resolutions at the East St. Louis convention in 1910 indorsing Hearst's candidacy for the Democratic nomination and pledging him the support of Illinois. The proposition was made to me by Lawrence in the office of his attorney, Roy Keehn, Rector building, Chicago, and in substance was as follows: That if I would see to it that such resolution was passed the Examiner and American would support me politically and the candidacies of my friends. "My reply to Lawrence was that I could not control the delegation from my own ward on that proposition, and that it would mean political annihilation for any Democrat to introduce such a resolution because Hearst fought Bryan in 1908 and by running CHICAGO, OCTOBER 7, 1911. M. J. an independent ticket at that time defeated. General Stevenson, Democratic candidate for Governor. "The issue is whether Hearst or the Democracy of Illinois shall rule its own organization, and on this issue I am ready for the battle." And right at this very time the hot-headed followers and adherents of both factions are sharping up their knives and getting ready for the afray. It is true that William Randolph Hearst, bitterly fought Col. William J. Bryan in 1908, through the columns of his chain of newspapers, thereby greatly aiding in his defeat and for that very reason there are thousands and thousands of tried and true Democrats scattered throughout this state who will never follow his leadership in Democratic politics in Illinois. NEGROES SNUBBED BY TAFT. President Refuses to See Delegation of Negroes in Kansas City. President Taft further convinced the Negroes of the west and south that he is not concerned about them and their wishes when he refused to use a delegation of them in Kansas City last Monday. The President, who is not making a 12,000 mile tour of the United States, was expected to arrive in Kansas City at a certain time, and Geh H. Wassom, a Colored lawyer, was chairman of a delegation of Colored voters, who had planned to see the President and make known the BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AND THE "JIM CROW CARS." Dr. Booker T. Washington is able to get around the Jim Crow law in Texas by chartering a special Pullman car to take him twenty miles from Austin to Temple. He is about to tour the State with a party of men of both races, as he has recently made trips, in other Southern States, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, etc., in which he has rendered service of very great value in interpreting the races to each other. But while Dr. Washington can thus escape the humiliation of the Jim Crow car there are thousands of others of his race of equal refinement and culture who have no such way out. They must go in the rural South into unsanitary and dirty cars that look as though they never had been cleaned, that ninety-nine cases out of a hundred are far inferior to the average white coach, and this is true despite railroad assertions to the contrary. Whether those traveling in these cars are ailing or well, strong or delicate, their plight is the same; it is part of the price they pay for their American birthright! As yet, Dr. Washington has never felt called to speak out very clearly about this gross discrimination against the race in accordance with his fixed policy of bearing down upon all the favorable signs of the times and touching but lightly on the evils. But if he would speak out we believe that he could impress the country deeply by telling what he knows about the feelings of the Colored people in regard to the Jim Crow stigma daily placed upon them.—New York Evening Post. NEGROES SNUBBED BY TAFT. President Refuses to See Delegation of Negroes in Kansas City. President Taft further convinced the Negroes of the west and south that he is not concerned about them and their wishes when he refused to use a delegation of them in Kansas City last Monday. The President, who is now making a 12,000 mile tour of the United States, was expected to arrive in Kansas City at a certain time, and Geo. H. Wassom, a Colored lawyer, was chairman of a delegation of Colored voters, who had planned to see the President and make known their wishes to him regarding some appointments and wired the President their wish to meet him when he arrived, but the President wired back that he would be in the hands of the local committee and could not see them unless the local committee so desired and would set the time. When Col. Wassom and his committee put the matter up to the local republicans, who were to have the president in charge, they were promptly informed that their request would not be granted, and the Nation's Chief came and went and scarcely saw a black face while in the city, and did not express any desire to see one. Negroes Angry. Whether President Taft and his secretary of the local Kansas City Republicans are responsible for the Negroes being snubbed no one can definitely say, but the Negroes are highly indignant over it any way, and the leaders have declared war on the Republican party and declare they will even up at the polls if Taft is renominated for President, and they are not hesitating to make their position known and even the more conservative among them are saying that the occurrence was a most unfortunate one, since the Negroes of this state and the West were looked upon as being "out of line" and way and the action of the President and of the local committee is regarded as adding insult to injury, and that it will take unlimited amount of coaxing to get the Negro voters back on the reservation before the day of election. The Negroes issued a statement and sent it broadcast, in which they severely criticised Taft and the local committee which they claim he allowed to bottle him up so that he could not be approached by Negro leaders, and declared that two thirds of the entire Negro vote would be against him if he is renominated to make the race for President in 1912. National and Local Theatrical and Stage Notes Edited by the Stroller or by the Man on the Corner Pekin Theater. Opened to a large house Monday night and the entire bill was well received. Special mention must be made of Frank Kirk who made his first appearance on the stroll in his original version of a musical tramp, the act is the best of its kind in vaudeville. Gilmore, Kinky and Gilmore after an absence of several months presented a new and novel act with electrical effect with singing and dancing. Fanny Wise as popular as ever sang a number of new songs including her latest Song "Snowball." The Baileys proved very entertaining in songs and dances. The Chicago Comedy Four played and sang nicely. The Show closed with the comedy sketch, Her Other Husband. Gilpin Green and Miss White caused lots of merriment. The Grand. Opened with Chigas and Jenner talkers and singers. The Aresato troupe on the tight wire. Paul Bowens, comedian. Teddy Hardcastle & Co., in a comedy playlet, the Cats Paw. Sam K. Otto, black face comedian, all of these acts were white. The only feature on the bill was Perrin, Crosby and Saparo, they saved the show as the entire bill had too much talking in it and the last named act was too far down on the bill and the audience got tired waiting for them. The Monogram. Had its usual Monday night crowd. They had a new act. The Rag Time Trio, 3 clever girls. Mr. and Mrs. Kersands were well received. Stage Notes. So much interest was manifested in the work of Miss Hazel Harrison, of Laporte, Ind., that she has received a cablegram to come to Berlin, Germany, where an engagement awaits her, which will give her audience as a pianist before the crowned heads of Europe. This is said to be the first time a Colored lady has been made the recipient of such an honor. There is a large demand for Colored acts in Europe. A few days ago the great European Booking Agent, Signor Martinnelli, offered J. Rosamond Johnson a large figure for an engagement of his Sambo girls. This is the act that is featured by Edgar Connor who was known as Sambo with Cole and Johnson's Red Moon Company, and has been a big hit all season in the Eastern vaudeville houses. King and Bailey are going by on the Moss and Stoll time on the continent. Joe Jordan and Maud Turner have an act in the English music halls. Our old friend Jerry Mills is with us again with the Black Patti Show on account of a sore throat he has been laying off, he may not join them again as he is considering an offer from a white musical company in the city to stage the musical numbers in all their productions. Miss Fannie Wise may be booked over the houses of the Western vaudeville. Sandfer and Wallace are laying off this week, were at the Ruby in Louisville last week. No.1 out of town last week. They go West shortly. Wise and Milton open in Frisco the last of this month with a company of 5 people. Among them is Miss Corrine Letcher who is making rapid strides in the profession. Davis and Walker, who lately bought a nice home on the South Side, are on the W. V. A. time meeting with success. Billy King is now managing at Louisville. He was in the city last week locking the acts over. He booked the following for the Ruby Alonzo Moore, Frank Kirk, Alamo Trio, Gilmore Kinky and Gilmore, Claude Winfrey, Ada Banks and Ray Time Trio. The Howard Theater in Washington, D. C., has been leased to Colored parties. Now if the leses can put it on an automobile and move it in the heart of the district it might get by. A new act will soon be seen consisting of Allie Gillum and wife, Charlie Williams and wife, Mr. Hen. Wise is booking them over the Fisher time. Copeland and Peyton were at Haimmerstein's, New York, last week. Fidler and Shelton are now working regularly. Pat Casey is directing their affairs. Frank P. Rogers, the peerless ventriloquist is breaking all records, being booked solid. The Bandanna Quartette was obliged to cancel their time on account of Mr. Lyold Gibb's sickness. Unusual interest is being shown in the retiring recital soon to be given by Madam Hackley as there will be a number of out-of-town parties to bid farewell to the great singer from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. A party headed by Mr. Grant Williams, Editor of the Philadelphia Tribune. This party will number over 20 people. New York will be represented by Lester A. Walton, Dramatic Editor of the N. Y. Age, and friends including Will Marion Cook. Cleveland sends Editor Harry Smith and ladies of Detroit the former home of Madam Hackley will send a large delegation of her friends. Taking in all this will be the musical and society event of the season. The athletic sports to take place for the nursery benefit will be under the personal supervision of Mr. Rube Foster.

Washington, D. C., October 2.—The Civil Service Commission will hold an examination for Assistant Forest Rangers on October 23-24, 1911. The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates that 400 eligibles will be needed during the field season of 1912. Assistant Forest Rangers are paid an entrance salary of $1,100 per annum. The examination will be held at National Forest headquarters in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. No examination will be held in Michigan. The law requires that, when practicable, Forest Rangers must be qualified citizens of the State or Territory in which the National Forest on which they are appointed is situated. Since the list of local eligibles must be exhausted before eligibles residing in other States can be appointed, the chance of citizens of outside States who go to the National Forest States and take examination to secure an appointment is small. The requirements and duties of Forest Rangers are thus described in "The Use Book," which contains the regulations and instruction for the use of the National Forests: "A ranger of any grade must be thoroughly sound and able-bodied, capable of enduring hardships and performing severe labor under trying conditions. He must be able to take care of himself and his horses in regions remote from settlement and supplies. He must be able to build trails and cabins, ride, pack, and deal tactfully with all classes of people. He must know something of land surveying, estimating and sealing timber, logging, land laws, mining, and the livestock business. "On some Forests the ranger must be a specialist in one or more of these lines of work. Thorough familiarity with the region in which he seeks employment, including its geography and its forest and industrial conditions, is usually demanded, although lack of this may be supplied by experience in similar regions. "The examination of applicants is along the practical lines indicated above, and actual demonstration, by performance, is required. Invalids seeking light out-of-door employment need not apply. Experience, not book education, is sought, although ability to make simple maps and write intelligent reports upon ordinary Forest business is essential. "For duty in some parts of Arizona and New Mexico the ranger must know enough Spanish to conduct Forest business with Mexicans. "Where saddle horses or pack horses are necessary in the performance of their duty, rangers are required to own and maintain them. The Forest Service furnishes no personal or horse equipment. "Rangers execute the work of the National Forests under the direction of Supervisors. Their duties include patrol to prevent fire and trespass, estimating, surveying, and marking timber, the supervision of cuttings, and similar work. They issue minor permits, build cabins and trails, oversee grazing business, investigate claims, report on applications, and report upon and arrest for violation of Forest laws and regulations." The examination will consist of questions regarding the use of the Forest, supplemented by a field test to show the applicant's fitness to do the actual work of a ranger. Education and experience will be rated on the answers to the questions on these subjects in the applicant's fitness to do the actual cant's use of English in the written test. Horses for the tests in riding and packing will be provided by the Forest Service. The examination is under the control of the Civil Service Commission, and not of the Forest Service. Information in detail regarding it, including the names of the places at which it will be held, will be sent to anyone applying to the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, D.C. TALLABOO AT THE PEKIN. No play has ever attracted so much attention as the Negro melo-drama written by L. N. Harper, the Colored lawyer of Louisville, Ky. Ever since the play was taken off at this theatre people have been making applications to the management of the Pekin to put it on again for an indefinite engagement. So many people did not avail themselves while it was playing some time ago to see it, that after due consideration the management has decided to put the piece on again.

RED CROSS SEAL NOT ABOLISHED "Not only will the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals be continued this year, but it will be carried on along broader lines, and will be larger and more comprehensive than ever before," says Dr. Livingston Farrand, Executive Secretary of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a statement issued today by the Press Bureau of that organization. Dr. Farrand denies absolutely the statements which have appeared recently to the effect that Postmaster General Hitchcock had forbidden the sale of Red Cross Seals. "No official order has been issued on this matter," says Dr. Farrand. "On July 1st the Post Office Department decided that they could no longer carry mail matter which bore stamps or seals which resembled postage stamps. Our design of the Red Cross Seal, however, has been approved definitely by Postmaster General Hitchcock and the Department, and it does not come within the prohibitions of this order of July 1st. It hardly looks as if we were going to abandon the sale, when we have already placed the order for the printing of fifty million seals and for large quantities of advertising matter. "The Red Cross Seal this year will be from a new design drawn by an artist in Washington, D. C. Every effort has been made to get as far away from the conventional design of stamps and seals as possible. The new seal will depict a very pretty winter scene. In the lower right hand corner will appear a snow-covered house with a pine tree, also snow-covered, in the foreground. The scene is at night and the windows are lighted. In the back ground are trees and snow-capped hills. In the upper left hand corner will appear a small red cross. The entire design is enclosed with a heavy red circle. The year is expressed in Roman numerals. The only other words on the seal are, "American Red Cross, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year." The corners of the seal, which will be square, are in white, thus giving the effect of a circular seal when it is affixed to letters and packages. "It is very important that every one bear in mind that the Post Office Department will not carry any letters bearing these seals or any other non-postage stamps upon the face of the letter. Red Cross Seals may and should be placed on the back of letters and packages. "Agents for the sale of Red Cross Seals have now been appointed in every large city in the United States. More territory will be covered this year, and more agents will sell seals than ever before. We need and want a million dollars from the sale of Red Cross Seals in 1911." ZION FORUM Owing to the downpour of rain on last Tuesday evening, there was no session of the Forum.

Putney, the learned Dean of the Illinois College of Law, will address the Literary Society of Bethesda Baptist church Sunday afternoon, October 8th at 4 o'clock. His master subject will be "The United States Constitution and the Negro." The church should be filled to overflowing, for Prof. Putney, will treat his subject in a most interesting manner, and his able discourse will be doubtly worth listening to. The Negroes and white people of Slidell, La., have drawn up and signed a "treaty of peace." The gist of the treaty is that it is the sense of the residents, both white and Negro, that all conflicts and acts of violence between blacks and white are severely condemned, and that all friction arising between members of the two races shall be submitted to a committee for settlement.

While on his way back Mr. Williams visited the cities of Rome, Ga., Chattanooga, Tenn., and Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Williams says that he saw many heart rendering things in the said cities he visited. The conveniences which the Colored people are given in the way of transportation by the steam and surface railways, South of Cincinnati, are a little better than animals get in other parts of the country. With all that the Colored people are suffering from by these discriminations they are improving in the education of their children and the accumulation of wealth. While the whites seem to be degenerating in the south and are seemingly indifferent about their future. FRENCH POLICEMEN. They Can't Be "Fixed," and They Are Always Polite. The laws of France relative to the out of door life of the masses are made in the interest of the people. Furthermore, they are enforced. There is no fixing things with a French policeman. If your bicycle has suddenly been twisted into junk by a careless driver the belted and brass buttoned gentleman who arrives on the scene questions you with intelligence and jots down in his notebook the facts of the occurrence as near as he can ascertain them. Throughout the interview he is polite, alert and painstaking in getting at the exact truth, and, whether you or the offending driver or both accompany him to the police station, he conducts you with a quiet dignity and an air of fulfilling his duty. It does not make the slightest difference in France who you are or whether or not you have mutual friends or come from his "ward" or are a relative of Congressman So-and-so. If you are at fault you must pay the damages. If the other fellow is to blame you will be ushered from the presence of the commissaire de police with as much ceremonial politeness as would be shown at a diplomatic interview. If it is boiling hot or freezing cold and you are in need of information, go to the nearest policeman, address him as "monsieur" and raise your hat. He will immediately return you a military salute, listen attentively and give you as carefully as possible, the necessary information, saluting you again as you raise your hat to leave him.—F. Berkeley Smith. "Parisians Out of Doors." Couldn't Fool Him. Serving in the capacity of collector for a local bank is a colored man who spends his evenings playing in an Oakland band.
