THE PRIMARY LAW-ITS PURPOSES AND THE OPPORTUNITY IT AFFORDS THE NEGRO Perhaps never before in the history of the Negro voters of any community was an opportunity presented more pregnant with possibilities than the one now confronting the Negroes of Chicago and Illinois, in the impending primary contest, which will culminate in the nomination of men for office throughout the state. April 9th next. Heretofore the opportunity of the Negro to get upon a ticket was dependent upon the pleasure of some one group of men known as bosses or political masters, and placing of the Negro's name upon the ballot as a nominee was seldom the result of merit, fitness or the recommendation of a majority of the Negroes themselves, but purely as a question of expediency to win votes for the ticket, so that in the past in every respect the Negroes thus nominated have been a negative force, seeking to please masters rather than the people, but now, since the enactment of the present primary law, every ```markdown ``` [Image of a man in a suit with a white shirt and a dark vest, standing with his hands in his pockets.] ALDERMAN MICHAEL McINERNEY.

Vol. XVII HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY versally popular citizen; with his Wil to capture the Democratic nomination race and every group of men, regardless of the attitude of the political bosses toward them, have an opportunity to place one of their kind upon the ballot, and the person receiving the highest number of votes for any given position of the many positions to be filled will be declared the nominee. There are about 20,000 Negro voters in Cook County. If this vote was centered upon some one candidate or group of candidates for certain positions to be filled, it would be such an aid that it would be impossible, almost, to encompass their defeat. For instance, if a Colored candidate for office starts out with 20,000 votes to the good he will finish in a two-to-one shot as winner, so there is an opportunity for the Negroes to select and concentrate their votes upon a man of the race for the position of County Commissioner, and as the best fitted, best known and most likely the best vote getter stands the best chance of utilizing this opportunity to the race, we urge that Bureauregard Fritz Moseley receive the vote and support of every man, and regardless of color, who belongs to the Republican arty, April 9th.

AND MANY AFRO-AMERICANS ARE COMING OUT IN THE OPEN FOR HIM. L. W. WASHINGTON IS IN CHARGE OF HIS BRANCH HEADQUARTERS AT 3123 S. STATE STREET, AND IS DOING EFFECTIVE WORK FOR HIM. STATE'S ATTORNEY JOHN E. W. WAYMAN IS ATTRACTING LARGE CROWDS AT HIS MEETINGS THROUGHOUT ILLINOIS AND HIS FRIENDS LOOK UPON HIM AS AN EASY WINNER FOR THE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR. HON. EDWARD D.

ALDERMAN MICHAEL McINERNEY AND HIS FRIENDS ARE CONFIDENT THAT HE WILL BRUSH BY THE PRIMARIES TUESDAY, APRIL 9TH, AND BE ELECTED TO CONGRESS FROM THE FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. MILES J. DEVINE, EX-CITY ATTORNEY OF CHICAGO, IS DES TINED TO CAPTURE THE NOMINATION AT THE PRIMARIES TUESDAY, APRIL 9, FOR STATE'S ATTORNEY OF COOK COUNTY. D The Democratic and Republican candidates in this city and throughout this state are waking up and are beginning to get mighty active in their political fights for supremacy in their efforts to secure the nomination at the primaries Tuesday. April 9, for the various positions and good fat jobs that are in sight this coming fall. Governor Charles S. Deneen, has put on a pair of his old time boxing gloves and he is fighting night and day in order to continue to successfully ride the Republican political waves. His headquarters in the La Salle Hotel are constantly crowded all the time by his friends and supporters who look upon him as a winner. Tuesday, April 9. His meetings which he is holding in all parts of the state are well attended, showing that he still stands high in the estimation of the people of Illinois. Hon. Samuel Alschuler, who is one of the most popular men in this state who is always there with the glad hand and with his William J. Bryan smile to all comers, for it makes not the slightest difference to him whether or not those he comes in contact with are rich or poor white or black, high or low, he smiles and warmly grasps them by the hand. Just the same, continues to make inroads on his Democratic competitors for the nomination for the Governorship of Illinois. And his headquarters in the La Salle Hotel are the scenes of much activity on the part of his managers and supporters who right at this very time scent victory in the air for him. Right at this point it is pleasing to note that many Afro-Americans—those belonging to the better class and not the beggers and no account class, are willingly coming out in the open for him and L. W. Washington, who is the right man in the right place is in charge of his branch headquarters at 3123 South State street and is doing effective work for him, among the Colored population in this city, and his work will reach out to all the Colored voters throughout Illinois. State's Attorney, John E. W. Way- man, is attracting large crowds at his meetings in the various parts of the state, and the people seem to be delighted to hear him discuss some of the most important questions of today which in some way or other is the concern of every citizen in this state and some of them must be settled at the polls this coming November, and no question about it his friends look upon him as an easy winner for the nomination for Governor. Hon Edward D. Green, who is one of the very best Airo-Americans that has ever been a member of the Legislature of Illinois, and who always has had the united support of the best element of both races in his distinct and always endorsed by the daily press and the legislative voter's league, has started in on his short and sharp fight for re-election to the legislature of Illinois from the First Senatorial district and according to our way of thinking no one will be able to head him off at the primaries Tuesday. April 9. Alderman Michael McInerney and his friends and head shouters are confident that he will brush by the primaries, Tuesday. April 9, and be elected to Congress from the Fourth Congressional District. The present Congressman, who has not accomplished anything worthy to be mentioned for the people residing in the district for the past six years and he and one or two boys who would like to draw the salary as a would be congressman, will be routed and a new Congressman in the person of Alderman McInerney will be elected and he will be amply able to accomplish something for those he will represent in the lower house of Congress, aside from drawing his salary and answering present at roll call. Miles J. Devine, ex-city attorney of Chicago, is destined to capture the nomination at the primaries, Tuesday April 9, for State's attorney of Cook County; there are many voters in this city who feel, that in consideration for the many good and telling licks that Mr. Devine, put in last spring for Mayor Carter H. Harrison, that the "Man of Destiny," should be with him tooth and nail in his manly fight for State's Attorney. [Name not provided] HON. EDWARD D. GREEN.

In the first instance the total weekly imeome from all sources was $6307.29 or am average of $17.50, while in the latter the total weekly income was only $3.055.60, or an aver: age of $7.86, a decline of 65 per cent. One hundred and sixty-one families were without income of any sort dur- ing the period of complete disability of the patient, while the total weekly income previous to this stage was $1,877.35."" If to all of these losses were added the “capitalized value of the carnings cut off by death.” Drs. Locke and Floyd estimate that the loss of the 244 dead cases alone would bring the total up to nearly $2,000,000, And if to these 500 cases actually studied were added the 15,000 living tases in Boston, they estimate the loss to the individuals and the city would amount to many millions of dollars. These figures of the economic loss caused by tuberculosis, they conclude. persent the most complete justification for the money Boston has spent in tuberculosis work, and show why other communities should not hesitate for fear of expense to attack the tuber: culosis problem.

About one thusand people were peresent, and only half of this number could be accommodated in the main andience room. while many stopped ia the lecture room below, and ethers went home disappointed, Messrs. Wm. Hill, W. E. Harris, H. White, W. H. Midgett, Thos. McKin- ney, and E. Brantly the ushers, deserve much credit for the intelligent manner in which they seafed the people, The | pastor, Dr. C. Lee Jefferson, preached at the morning sefvice, upon the sub- ject, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven.’* The choir of twenty voices rendered the music. Dr. G. NX. Luccock, of Oak Park Presbyterian Church preached the afternoon sermon, taking for his sub ject. **The True Church."* Music was rendered by the choir of Shiloh Baptist Church and the choir of St. John’s A. M. E. Church. ‘The Scripture lesson wus read by Kev, D, 1. Harris, pastor oi Shiloh Baptist Church, and Dr. Mo- ses H. Jackson, pastor of Grace Pres- pees church lead in the opening prayer. Dr. E. [, Hill. superintendent of the Chicago Church Extension Board lifted the offering. which he declared was the most successfal, he has ever had. In less than twenty minutes ther raied over fifteen hundred dollars, by cash and subscription, so the church ‘was dedicated with all the indebted ness covered, and Dr. G. B. Safford made the dedicstory prayer. The eve- hing service was turned over to the laity. Hon. B. F. Moseley made an in- teresting address upon the chureh life of Englewood. He was followed by Mr. Ware, Policeman Maxfield and 1. Smith who lifted the offering. ‘The duett by Mr. E. D. Marshall, and Miss Florence Jackson was greatly enjoyed, as was also a violin solo by Master Lawrence Alexander, Miss Ce celin Johnson read a brief history of the building of the church, which was written by Mrs. J. Rodgers. The pastor in fitting words, expréssed the gratitude of the congregation to all who have done so much to encourage them in erecting one of the most beau tiful houses of worship in Chiengo. The church situated in a thickly pop: ulated settlement stands as a monu ment to courage industry, and Chris. tian fidelity of pastor and people. And best of all the large congregations testify to the helpfulness, and the necessity of such a church and bespeak: for it a-bright broad and prosperous future under the blessings of God. eee QUARTERLY MEETING AT EVANS- TON, ILLINOIS.

Now the Eisendrath Co. has the best lighted glove factory in the city—a factory full of light, pure white in color--a volume of light and a color of light which helps them make 10,000 pairs ef gloves a day. For, each one of these big brilliant Gas Arcs actually measures 400 candle power strong—and of equal importance, each one burns less than 14 cents worth of gas per hour. " The obvious economy of so much light Tor so little SS money has made this new Arc the most popular Fa) factory light we have ever handled. fl Already we have filled 3,000 orders from factories alone— | not counting stores. ye Our very liberal plan of renting these lights and maintaining is ia them ounclves has made our proposition doubly attractive. an A new booklet with full details all about g Rented Gas Arcs for Factories curl be sent om request ‘The data it contains will surprise any man operating a factory. * Just address a postal to the Peoples Gas Light & Coke New inverted Tree Company, Peoples Gas Building, Michigan Boulevard, Garrison of Gary will spend the’ day in the city the guests of the pastor. Because of the great increase in ‘membership during the quarter, it is expected to be the largest communion fervice in the history of the church Rev. E, G.

Carats Plenty Havana, Cuba. — R. M. K. Nelson whose address is Lista, Havana, came to Cuba in July, 1808, and opened Cu ba’s only gold mine for a company of white men (Americans), who have robbed him of his shure. He has uot sat down and whined over bis losses. He was in New York in December last on business and was optimistic about Cuba and its future. He urged his friends to flee from the chilling Diasts of the north to this Edenland. He said that Flagler’ $40,000,000 bridge across the sea wax proof of a movement to make Cuba the play: ground of the world rich; that land Yalues in Cuba would increase faster than in New York city Mr. Nelson talked interestinzly of this beautiful isle of the sex and ex- pressed the opinion that when Amert- can Negroes came to know of the splendid opportunities which here await them thes will bezin to take a more lively interest in the oppertunt- tles which It offers to the farmer. the mechanic and skilled laborers with a little money to invest After fourteen sears of talking, writ- ing and lecturing he said he was not surprised to tind that every paper in Cuba is now discussing his plan, Dacked by millionaires. to bring from the south 10.400 Negro farmers who have money and place them in Cuba Some of these newspapers are edited by southern white men, left over after the conquest of Spain by the United ‘States, who perbaps naturally do not te, 7 Av ul “ro - ra oe oo Se . Reese ‘want to see the Negroes of the south enjoy better industrial opportunities than ther now have. ‘The Havana Telegraph, edited by a fair minded gentleman, in an editorial @ column and a half long takes an optimistic view of the proposed plan to place 10,00) Negro farmers from the south, who want to improve their con- ition politically and financially. It says: “Although we have lived in Cuba for more than a dozen years, we have never seen displayed biacker ingratitude than that shown during the last week by the organs of Cuban Public opinion to the American Negro who played so large a part in winning Cube’s freedom. “Did American Negroes of the Ninth and Tenth United States cavairy and those of the Twenty-fourth infantry Prove themselves inferior in the fight ing about Santiago to the Cuban Ne- grees making up the army of Calix- to Garcia? Was there ever as brave ® deed done by Cuban Negroes as that of the American Negroes of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry who volunteered to do guard duty at the yellow fever aospital? And bas ‘any one a better right to come to Cuba than have the brethren of those Ne- grees who fought so well in Cuba's cause?” Any American farmer who desires to migrate to Cuba and who has the means to do x» and to support himseif While zettinz established bas ax much Fight to chanze bis residence as any American white mau and as many American white men are doing con- stantly A sivar plintation in Cuba will last ten years without replanting. There is fine pasturaze here and every variety of tropiva! fruits, with many species unknown to Americans. The climatic conditions are ideal. Edenland it is, as Mr. Nelson calls it, and he yearns for more Aierican Negroes of the right stamp and class to locate in Cuba and grow up with the country. The plan fs feasible and practical and offers a partial solution of the Ne gro problem in the United States. Prej- udiced Americans who have come to Cuba to make their fortunes naturally do not want to see American Negroes bere for obvious reasons. Mr. Nel- won will furnish any information de aired by colorei men in the United States who way he thinking of Cuba es a field fur profitsble labor. CRISIS SETS STANDARD.

Masonic Fraternity Hears Optimistic Address by Noted Educator. In a recent address to the Masonic fraternity in Washington Dr. Booker T. Washington showed, among other things, the good which the race bas Teceived from secret organizations and emphasized the wisdom of turning such numerical co-operation to greater ‘advantage along business lines in the future. Of this phase of racial activity Dr. Washington in part said “Secret orders exixting among the Negro race have accomplished much to ward its uplift notwithstanding the so called weaknesses of these organiza. tions are referred to in an uncompll mentars fashion.” said Dr. Washing. ton. “They have an exceptionally strong side, a side that with a little consideration on the part of those who condemn them would receive a proper and sufficient credit. It is largely through the work of the secret organ- fzations of the Negro in connection with his cburch that the Negro has in & large degree supported and cared for the poor and unfortunate of his own race. “In the southern states there are few Negro bezsars, few Negro pau- pers. The unfortunate are cared for through the secret orgunization and the church. This in a larger degree 4s truer of our race than any other race 4m the same relative stage of clviliza- tion in this or any other country. I am Blad to take note of, the preparations to erect a large and substantial build- ing that will be headquarters for se- cret orgunizations and the plans to pro- vide accommodations for business en- terprises that are owned and operated by our race. This is most praiseworthy and encourasins, “The erection of this building should command the hearty good will and the generous support of all our people in the District of Columbia. The erec- tion of this building will mean a new era in the business life of the Negro In Washington. In proportion to the number of Ilack people in the Dis- trict of Coluubia and in proportion to the amount of money they bandle the race here bas not gone into business to the extent that is true of our breth ren in the scuthern states. You have here a Negro population of about 90,- 000. “There are openings in Washington with your 90.000 black people for 10 architects, 5 banks, 40 drug stores, 50 barber shops, 35 blacksmith shops, 30 boot and shoe stores. 90 shoemakers and repairers, 120 carpenters, con- tractors and builders, 330 confectionery stores, 40 dentists, 160 dressmaking businesses, 30 dry goods stores, 5 un- dertaking establishments, 20 florists, 10 furniture dealers, 175 grocery stores, 20 hairdressers, 20 milliners, 60 trained nurses, 70 painters and kal- sominers, 10 photographers, 120 phy- sicians, 40 plumbers. 30 real estate dealers, 50 truck gardeners, 50 restau- rants and >) variety stores.” Ellis Dies of Cerebral Troubles.
