States Attorney John E. W. Wayman Who Would Like to Become Governor of Illinois HAS SPENT WELL ON TO TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THE TAXPAYERS' MONEY IN AIDING THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE IN ITS MALICIOUS FIGHT AGANST SENATOR WILLIAM LORIMER. THE LORIMER INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE HAS ENDED ITS LABORS IN CHICAGO. Vol. XVII States Attor Wayman W to Become Illinois HAS SPENT WELL ON TO TW THE TAXPAYERS' MONEY IN AIDING THE CHICAGO TRI AGANST SENATOR WILLE THE LORIMER INVESTIGATING LABORS IN CHICAGO. In many ways the investigating into the election of William Lorimer to the United States Senate, has been a good thing, for during the examination of the various witnesses the members of the investigating committee, who have held forth in this city for more than five weeks, some surprising and startling facts have, to the discredit of those who have been fighting Senator Lorimer, forced their way to the light. For instance, State's Attorney John E. W. Wayman, who would like to become governor of Illinois, admitted while he was on the witness stand and having his toes held to the fire by former Judge Haneey, that "he had spent without any warrant to do so, well onto twenty thousand dollars of the taxpayers money, in aiding the Chicago Tribune in its malicious fight against Senator Lorimer. Thousands of dollars of this money was expended in entertaining the bold-faced liar Charles A. White, who worked the "Old Trib" out of three thousand and five hundred dollars by simply selling it an old fake story, at the BOOKER T. WASHINGTON History, profane and sacred have two purposes to serve. 1, to enlighten the world truthfully; 2, it sternly warns the world how to avoid similar returns of the past' calamities, and people as well as nations are not only foolish but wicked who refuse its teachings. Falsehood and truth serve a purpose for the moral government of humanity akin to history's design, and Mr. Washington ought to know it. He had no gentleman's business at $11\frac{1}{2}$ 63rd st., New York City. He said he went there to see a Mr. Smith who lived there and telegraphed him to come there. Mr. Smith said he never lived there and had sent him no telegram to go there. Mr. Washington wiggled out of that dilemma by saying the telegram had been sent to him from Chicago to New York, and that he lost or tore it up in that city. If that was done how could he have kept the street and number in mind all that time? And why did he lurk around that particular place if he had not found the number?—Pretty good evidence that he had been there before to see Mr. Smith(?) And judging by the seven months delay, he did not want to face a trial and only did so because and only because public pressure made him. Last March when arrested he said Mr. Smith was the man whom he went to see, and last week, he told them in court that it was a Mr. McClure he was looking for, and when Ulrich's lawyer asked if the person wanted was Colored or white, Booker T. took his lawyer's place and said to the court: "I don't see the use of such questioning unless it would accomplish something." Ulrich beat him last March with a club, and beat him last week with the law, and instead of Mr. Washington going about his business with closed lips, he rushed into print to defend himself, making in seven months, three times a pitiable object of himself. Booker T. Washington knows as well as do all those detectives who went to 63rd street and found out of his long relationship with that locality, and had it not been for a big HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY leading hotels in this city, and permitting him to accompany detectives furnished by Mr. Wayman, to houses of ill repute in the Red Light district, where he spent days and nights drinking high-priced wines and liquors and smoking the best of cigars and spending money like a wealthy drunken Lord; and, think of it, his days and nights of debauchery was all at the expense of the small taxpayers of Cook county. The conduct of State's Attorney Wayman in this direction ought to forever condemn him in the estimation of all honest and decent people. The Senate Committee, which had been probing into the election of Senator Lorimer, finished its labors in this city this week; and after further testimony is heard in Washington, D.C., commencing the first week in December, and after the evidence is all in and when it comes to the final show down in the United States Senate it is freely predicted by the wise ones that William Lorimer will continue to represent the people of Illinois in the upper house of Congress. official of New York City, the whole thing would have been made public long ago. Four of the detectives stood alone for publication, but the big fellow told them it would not do, for the President and strong men are backing him. Finally when the four stood firmly for publication the big official assured them that if they did, they would get no more news from that place. Booker T. is a guilty man, and the only way it can hurt the Negroes is for them to cover it over and lie him out. Did Breckenridge hurt the white race? He hurt himself, and so has the Negroes' false leader. It is up to him to atone to God for his own sins, and until he does, every decent Colored woman in America should frown on him.—The Pioneer Press, Martinsbury, W. Va., November 11, 1911.

Brilliant speeches were delivered by prominent members of both races, highly befitting to the occasion. United States Senator William Lorimer led in the praise of Rev. Carey, both as a preacher and as a man, and he congratulated the Negro race upon having a leader among them who has done so much to wipe out racial prejudices. In closing his talk, Senator Lorimer predicted a greater future for Dr. Carey within the next six months, because, he said, the minister had aligned himself with a cause that meant the perpetuation of the principles advocated by the man who emancipated the Negro race—Abraham Lincoln. Senator Lorimer declared that Dr. Carey was one of the first men in Illinois who realized the dangers that confronted his race by the socialistic doctrine—“initiative, referendum, and recall”—and that he was among the first who took steps to organize the Lincoln Protective league for the purpose of arousing the people of his own Color to the grave dangers which peril their freedom and advancement. "I want to say," said Senator Lorimer, "that if ever the time comes that our Constitution and representative form of government shall be destroyed, and in its stead shall arise the initiative and referendum or monarchy, the Colored people will be deprived of the freedom they now enjoy. And it was Dr. Carey's great intellect, his wonderful foresight to this danger, that impelled him to be among the very first who undertook the organization of the Lincoln league in order that the stability of this great nation and the safety of his race might not be endangered. In this fight Dr. Carey will be heard from in the next few months, and he will accomplish things that will make him and his name revered for years to come not only among the people of his own race, but by those of the white population. Bishop Samuel Fallows made a home run when he declared, during the course of his talk, that "Eight hundred and forty thousand men fought in the Union army in the War of the Rebellion—that six hundred thousand of that vast number were brought or came into this country from the various parts of the old world. That two hundred and forty thousand Colored men wore the blue and fought to the death for this country whose flag had failed to honor them. That one Colored man out of every twenty Colored men, women and children fought to defend Old Glory, while only one white man out of every thirty white men, women and children shouldered his musket for his country." Therefore, according to their numbers, they contributed more men who THE: BROADAX ee EE RES (WI promuigate at all times = tS ‘Prieste, infidels, Toe. ‘Re Sh ey, along thal fangunge 8 ene Or Fie rend Ar ten osepaper wheve pratform is broad enough for afl, ever etaiming the editoria! right te speak Hts ewn mind. ‘Lecal communications will receive attention.

Halliday doing _ the straight is a new comer, who shows that he has had experience that has fitted hhim for the position. Mr. Otis Benson as the Bum Actor and later as a Tramp has lots of opportunities to cause much messiment. Another bright member is William Juniper, who is at his best in the Olio being suffering with a severe cold and hoarsness we cannot judge his talk- ing or singing, but when it came © dancing he reminds you very much of the late Joe Britton, of the La- dies, all are good and their voices are far above many of the more preten- tious shows we have seen.

At a meeting of the Trusteees of Fisk University, held in’New York ‘on the 16th inst., it was reported by the Treasurer that $122,000 had been ‘subscribed to the $300,000 fund for improvements and endowment. The General Education Board has ptom- ised $60,000. Colored people every- where should be specially interested in this attempt to put a first-class college on its feet, because it is an institution which stands for the high- ‘est development of which our young people are capable. It does not set : standard half way up the ladder and limit the race to that, but the most thorough education and train- ing of which a man is capable is the possibility held out. Fisk should, therefore, come in for a share of the means distributed by our people, and if some do not perpetuate names by endowing departments both by gift and by bequest, it will be strange. The College is fortunate in having such a choice man for President as Dr. George A. Gates. The Trustees are Charles A. Hull, Chairman; H. L. Simmons, Treas- urer; Paul D. Cravath, Augustus F. Beard, George A. Gates, Robert J. Gross, James G. Merrill, George W. Moore, Charles J. Ryder, Charles H. Rutan, Booker’ T. Washington. The New York office of the University is 95 William street. PEKIN THEATRE. Coming to this theatre Monday night and for the first time on any stage Mr. Terrevous L. Douglas will present his life’s ambition, “The Carib,” a real drama, dealing with every day life, dealing with domestic, social, industrial, moral and racial problems of yesterday and today. Every act and scene is closely linked together in a prologue of three stirring acts, showing the diversity of real life. One to read the story immedi- ately becomes deeply interested and as the story progresses is kept up to fever heat, as all the incidents are so realistic that one is only too anx- jows to see the thrilling finish. Mr. Douglas has surrounded himself with a most capable company of perform- ers who have been in constant pre- Paration to make this the dramatic event of the season. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the advancement of our young race in a modern play entitled Carib. A REVELRY OF DRAMA.

The 8th Infantry, Illinois National Guard, will give a Ball at the 7th Regiment Armory Mth street and Wentworth avenue on New Year's night, January 1, 1912. It is planned by the officers to make this one of the biggest social affairs of the sea- son, and contrary to former balls given by the regiment no ceremonies will be had, thus giving the patrons ample opportunity to dance from early eve until the wee sma’ hours of the morning. The famous 8th Regiment band with its full quota of ninety pieces will dispense music to which the merry New Year dancers will trip the light fantastic toe .o their heart’s content. Tickets are out and in the hands of any officer of the regiment and at Rankin’s drug store, 36th and State streets. No charity ball will be given on this night, so be in readiness for this big ball. SUFFRAGE LEAGUE NOTES. Militant New England Organization Holds Big Meeting In Haverhill. Haverhill, Mass.—The eighth annual meeting of the New England Suffrage league recently held in this city was by far the most interesting and help- fal of any in the history of the organ!- sation. The delegates were numerous, and all of the speakers seemed to be imbued with new thought, vigor and determination to continue the cam- paign of sane agitation for justice ac- cording to law for the race against the wicked, cowardly and barbarous insti- tution of mob law. ‘The league intends to lay the matter of disfranchisement and jimerow seg- gregation before congressmen and sen- ators throughout the country and ask that they use their influence with state and national legislators to break down the enormous unconstitutional enact- ments against the colored citizens of this country. The next steps are work at home in congress and sena- torial districts; vote only for such men as pledge to do their duty toward bringing about equal franchise and equal justice, by which all citizens of this government may exercise their God given rights. A pertinent feature of the session was the activity of the women mem- bers of the league, many of whom de- livered stirring addresses, A strong set of resolutions were adopted con- demning the Coatesville (Pa.) lynching ‘and other recent outbreaks of mob violence in which human lives were sacrificed for the sake of the personal gratification of the lawless element in such communities. ‘The election of officers resulted as follows: William M. Trotter, president; ‘vice president at large. Mra. Cravat Simpson; first vice president, Rev. J. L. Davis of Malden, Mass; second vice president, J. F. Slaughter of Portsmouth, N.

Hence when our representative offered to attach a Cottage Arc and prove that one light could do the work of four, the Judge's good wife cheerfully gave permission. The demonstration secured the lady's signature to the order in less than one minute, as it has since done in thousands of other homes. Just now our sales of Cottage Arcs are running over 400 a day.

Norway has only one university, the Royal Frederick university in Christiana. According to the latest published statistics, there are 398,153 women teachers in the public schools of the United States. Chicago's night schools reopened for the term with an enrollment of 20,401, exceeding previous records by 2,400. The increased attendance is because of a broadening in the scope of the night school work. A working knowledge of industrial trades can be obtained as well as commercial and household courses. Flower and Tree. There are 798 distinct species of roses in existence. Palms never live more than 250 years. The yew is the longest lived of trees. Plants have sleep periods. Their hours of vegetative rest are as essential to their health as are those of sleep to animals. A remarkable tree has been discovered in the region of Lake Tehad. In one season it is said to grow to the height of from thirteen to sixteen feet. Its foliage resembles the mimosa, and its branches are thorny. A Berlin genius says that ragtime will drive Americans crazy. The use of the future tense is but another indication of the conservatism of the typical German highbrow.-Washington Post.

Booker Strikes Optimistic Note In Address Opening the Twenty-eighth Scholastic Year at Well Known School In Little Rock. Many Industries Taught. By N. BARNETT DOD5ON. Little Rock, Ark.-The Arkansas Baptist college recently opened its twenty-eighth annual session under very favorable circumstances. Dr. Joseph A. Booker, who is just entering upon his twenty-fifth year as president of the institution, was never more highly encouraged at the beginning of a school year. This was manifested in his opening address and in the announcement of new plans for running the institution another year. Besides many of the old teachers who have returned to resume the work with President Booker, several new officers and teachers from other states are enrolled. Professor M. L. Calloway, a graduate from the science course at M. PRESIDENT JOSEPH A. BOOKER. the Knoxville (Tenn.) college, will have charge of all the sciences to be taught. This is the first year that the science department has had a special teacher and a particular chair. Professor Calloway will fit the place well, for he is making science a life study and has done some good postgraduate work at Muskingum university, Muskingum, O. Miss Adina Saunders will be preceptress this year. She comes from New Haven, Conn., from under the very shadow of Yale university. She has lots of bright ideas not only for housekeeping and for governing and caring for girls in the boarding department, but she has talent for elocation and fine needlework. She will give some extra time to this for the benefit of the girls and others who may desire these two fine arts. Miss May L. Smith of Virginia, recently from Hampton, will have charge of the boarding department and domestic science work. She comes full of Hampton ideas as to work, cleanliness, economy and good order. Miss Grace J. Thompson, who taught literature last year, will teach higher Latin and some literature, while M. M. H. Eridge, one of the best graduates that the institution here ever sent out, will teach Greek and elementary Latin. Besides the foregoing list of college, academic and industrial teachers, the grammar school department will be cared for by Miss S. A. Jordan, eighth grade; Mrs. Bessie R. Ashford, seventh grade; Miss Laura Pinnie, sixth grade. Professor J. A. Hibbler, the secretary of the institution, will have charge of the commercial department, and Miss Mattle A. Booker, who is now in the Chicago Musical college, will have charge of the music, as heretofore. During her six weeks' absence her sister, Miss Carrie Isabel Booker, will fill her place. Professor R. J. Hansen, a product of the institution, will resume the work of higher mathematics, and Professor J. Frank Jones will do the Bible work and history and also have charge of the registration. Mrs. Joseph A. Booker will teach millinery and dressmaking. The theological department will be taken care of by President Joseph A. Booker, Dr. J. P. Robinson and Rev. R. M. Caver, A. M. Already the graduating classes for next spring have begun to file in and along with them many old and new students. The outlook for the institution, therefore, is exceedingly promising. Great effort is being put forth by the trustees to cancel the mortgage debt this year. With the mortgage debt out of the way, President Booker will have more time to devote to the real needs of the institution and will thus be in better position to raise funds for the many new improvements which he contemplates making in the near future. It is Mr. Booker's aim to have a greater school than ever before in the advantages to students and equipment for teachers. The college has demonstrated its right to live and has thereby won many friends. AN HONOR TO HIS RACE H. C. Smith Delegate to Ohio Constitutional Convention. Over 2,000 signatures of voters have been secured indorsing the candidacy of the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, O., as delegate to the state constitutional convention to be held in 1912. Realizing the necessity of having a member of the race in such an important convention, about fifty of the coloured voters of Cleveland volunteered to secure the proper number of signatures to nominate Mr. Smith for the position. They had but a short time in which to accomplish the task, but they went about it with a determination to succeed. The signatures were secured from among both colored and white citizens. In speaking of the phenomenal success of this voluntary movement to nominate Mr. Smith one of the canvassers for signatures said: "We did not even have to ask or urge the men to do the work. As a matter of fact, we who were at the head of the movement did not think the necessary signatures could be got in so short a time. The result was an agreeable surprise, which seldom falls to the lot of an individual without some effort on his part." Disfranchisement has grown in the south until nearly every state in that section of the country has disfranchised its Afro-American voters. The race needs an able and experienced statesman of its own, such as we find in the Hon. Harry C. Smith, to champion its cause. We are taking time by the forelock. Color prejudice should not have any influence with those who make the laws by which all citizens of the United States are to be governed. Mr. Smith has served three terms as a member of the Ohio legislature. STEADY ADVANCE OF Y. M. C. A. Encouraging Outlook For Larger Equipment For Indianapolis Branch. Indianapolis, Ind.-Six rooms in a small business block at North and California streets is the home of the largest colored men's branch of the Young Men's Christian association in the United States. From this small building the work among more than 400 members is conducted, although half that number cannot be crowded into the structure at one time. Despite the inadequacy of the building and equipment the members have organized debating, literary and glee clubs, gymnasium and basketball teams, a band and orchestra, while the boys have formed a club and organized a troop of boy scouts. Besides these organizations, several of the members meet in the small rooms each night and engage in checker contests, the only other form of amusement open to them. During the last few years the building has become too small to accommodate the members, and whenever special programs have been arranged no announcements have been made beforehand, the officers knowing that the BANK OF THE UNITED STATES S.

Now the committee of management and leading colored business men of the city are considering a new Y. M. C. A. building which will not limit the colored men's branch in this city and which, they say, will offer unusual possibilities. Nine years ago the branch of the association was first organized for the colored men of Indianapolis. After two years of work it had only seventeen members. Since 1904, however, the association has grown until it now includes one out of every seventeen colored young men in the city. The growth has been so rapid during the last few years that every available place about the building has been taken, including the coal shed, which was made into a locker and shower bath room. The growing membership also demanded a gymnasium, and the largest room on the first floor was fitted up for the physical culture work and gymnasium classes. Cornell university has added a course in wrestling for which gymnasium credit will be given. For the benefit of beginners in the mat game a novice meet, from which all intercollegiate athletes will be barred, will take place in December. The New Orleans Young Men's Gymnastic club will hold monthly boxing and wrestling contests of all weights and classes under the amateur rules until April of 1912. The winners will be sent to the National Amateur Athletic union championships. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS Between CHICAGO ST.
