JOHN B. MARSHALL PRESEN THE GO THE REGIMENT BROKE CAMP T HOME TH Last Friday evening, in the hard downpouring rain, the members of the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guard residing in Chicago marched to the Chicago and Alton depot, and promptly at 10:45 the train pulled out for Camp Lincoln, Springfield, Ill. Taking all in all it was a jolly crowd of soldiers and officers, Lieut.-Col. James H. Johnson was in command, Col John B. Marshall, owing to illness, was for the very first time in fifteen years unable to leave home with the regiment, he and Mrs. Marshall not arriving in camp until Sunday afternoon, a tourist car on the long train containing three hundred and sixty men was provided for the staff and field officers and the writer as the special war correspondent established his headquarters in the tourist car with the officers, after traversing the train from end to end it was our pleasant duty to report to Col. Johnson and to Captain and Adjutant Louis B. Anderson that the best of order prevailed among the rank and file of the men, that they were all glad to start on their tour of encampment. Not long after getting our first report in shape and just before turning into our berth, near onto 12 o'clock, for the night, Captain B. J. Pinkney insisted that we must and should join him in eating fried chicken, stuffed eggs, nice home-made rolls and other fine eatings which had been so temptingly prepared for him by his good wife, Mrs. Pinkney, and we had scarcely finished thanking and praising Captain Pinkney for so generously sharing his elegant luncheon with us, before Captain Louis B. Anderson, who is ably proving himself to be the very best adjutant that the Eighth Regiment has ever had, and who is by all odds the hardest working officer in the Regiment, for he ranks next to Col. Marshall in importance in the regiment, and he is truly the right man in the right place, invited us to assist him to lay away some of the fried chicken and other nice entables which had been cooked and put up by the pride and joy of his heart, his loving wife, Mrs. Anderson. After cheerfully and heartily complying with his request we retired for the night, feeling as fine as a fiddle. Promptly at half past five o'clock on Saturday morning every one on the special train was astir and on emerging from our berth we beheld Major Allen A. Wesley sitting in his seat with a big box of fried chicken in his lap, and he insisted that we should do our best in helping him to get it out of sight and there was no way on earth for us to refuse, to brush or wave his request aside; it was true that it was very early in the morning for us to do any eating, but after all we managed to do justice to his mighty or powerful fine luncheon. Shortly after half past six o'clock a.m. in the morning before mentioned the train arrived at Bloomington, where one company belonging to the regiment boarded the train which ar- HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY rived at Springfield at seven forty; then, after embarking from the train, the soldiers wended their way on the street cars to Camp Lincoln, which is in every way one of the most beautiful camps in this country; nature has well supplied it with many tall and majestic trees which furnish plenty of shade in every direction. The campus or the reviewing ground is almost as smooth as a large plate of glass and it is roomy enough to accommodate six or seven thousand soldiers at one time, and they can easily march and counter march without running or bumping into each other. It was ten o'clock before the regiment, headed by the far famed Eighth Regiment Band under its able leader, Captain William E. Berry, entered the campt; this delay was caused by the Fifth Regiment not being able to vacate the camp until that hour. Notwithstanding this long delay, at 20:45 "mees call" was sounded and as the special war correspondent we occupied our same old seat in the officers' tent, right by the side of Captain John L. Kry, whose duty it is to look after the eating for the officers and special guests of the regiment. Breakfast being over it did not take long before everything in connection with the camp was in working order and by noon all the officers and men had finished setting up housekeeping in their various tents for one week; our tent was directly to the north of Col. Marshall's headquarters and our outfit consisted of a tent, a cot with a straw tick on it, two chairs, one small writing table, a plain board floor minus of any covering, and we never slept better in our life than we did in our tent at Camp Lincoln. Each morning at 5 o'clock we would spring out of our bed at the first call for reveille and each morning answered present at the "mess call" at six o'clock. No active work on the part of the regiment was begun until 3:30 in the afternoon; by that time the remaining companies of the regiment from Jacksonville, Quincy, Peoria, Springfield and metropolis had arrived at the camp, and the first orders of the day were issued by Col. Johnson for the guard mount, Co. F.; Captain T. D. Arnett in command had the right of way and his company being well drilled it made a fine showing on the field in going through their various military movements in the best of order and in accordance with the highest tactics governing guard mounting. At five fifteen that same evening the dress parade and review was on in full force, and after the drilling, marching and counter marching and other maneuvers had been critically inspected by Major Muer of the regular United Army army who has been stationed at Camp Lincoln during the encampment of the other six or seven regiments who had preceded the Eighth in camp, and after the regiment had been disbanded, Major Allen A. Wesley, Cap CHICAGO, AUGUST 17, 1912 tain J. R. White and Captain J. H. Shepperd Post, sanitary officer, lectured to the First, Second and Third battalions respectively on sanitation, and their talks along that line were highly instructive and each and every word uttered by them were eagerly drank in not only by the soldiers, but also by the many citizens who had assembled on the grounds to witness the dress parade and the review. Mrs. James S. Nelson, Mrs. Wm. T. Jefferson, Mrs. Robert R. Jackson and Mrs. Samuel R. McGowan, a recent bride, were among the first ladies from Chicago to arrive at the camp on Saturday afternoon. Mrs. McGowan is as pretty as she can be; she is full of life and with her very winsome smile and fascinating manners she creates a fine impression at all times and makes fast friends among those who have the pleasure of coming in contact with her. She comes from one of the best and oldest families in New Orleans, La., and it is freely predicted that she will soon become a favorite among the ladies of the Eighth Regiment. The first to arrive on Sunday from Chicago were Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall and Mrs. Louis B. Anderson and her daughter, Miss Jessica Anderson, and Col. Marshall, who still looked rather pale from the effect of his illness, and his party were welcomed to the camp with much joy by his officers and men and all afternoon he was kept busy in shaking hands with them and with the many White and Colored citizens who expressed their pleasure over the fact that he was able to join his regiment in camp. Captain Louis B. Anderson accompanied Col. Marshall and party to the camp from the Chicago and Alton depot. Sunday morning at 10:30 the Sunday church call was sounded and in an instant the band was heard in a distance, and as it approached nearer and nearer it struck up that good old song, "Onward Christian Soldiers," and the members of the regiment, two abreast, marched in a most orderly and quiet manner towards the large pavilion where the concerts are held in the evenings by the bands of the various Later on, on Saturday evening, Lieut Dr. Leonard W. Lewis and his bride walked into camp. On the following Thursday Miss Laura Smith at her home in Lexington, Ky., was united in marriage to Dr. Lewis, and shortly after the wedding they made a bee line for Camp Lincoln to enable him to join the regiment in camp. Mrs. Lewis, who visited friends in Chicago several years ago and was received with open arms by its best people, who was popular with the smart set in her home town, is very beautiful and she is just as pleasant and as charming as she can be. It fell to our lot to introduce and escort her around the camp on Saturday evening, and we feel proud to have the honor of numbering her among our many lady friends. It is thusly seen that the gallant Eighth had the distinguished honor of having two lovely brides in camp at the same time. Promptly at 10.30 p. m. the electric lights were extinguished and the camp settled down into darkness for the night. Not long after five o'clock on Sunday morning, which was bright and clear, after the rain on Saturday and the heavy overhanging clouds which prevented the sun from shining forth in all its brightness on the following day, we indulged in a nice cold shower bath which caused us to feel like unto a morning lark, and at six o'clock "mess call" we had sufficient strength to sample everything good to eat in sight. The first to arrive on Sunday from Chicago were Col. and Mrs. John B. Marshall and Mrs. Louis B. Anderson and her daughter, Miss Jessica Anderson, and Col. Marshall, who still looked rather pale from the effect of his illness, and his party were welcomed to the camp with much joy by his officers and men and all afternoon he was kept busy in shaking hands with them and with the many White and Colored citizens who expressed their pleasure over the fact that he was able to join his regiment in camp. Captain Louis B. Anderson accompanied Col. Marshall and party to the camp from the Chicago and Alton depot. Sunday morning at 10:30 the Sunday church call was sounded and in an instant the band was heard in a distance and as it approached nearer and nearer it struck up that good old song, "Onward Christian Soldiers," and the members of the regiment, two abreast marched in a most orderly and quiet manner towards the large pavilion where the concerts are held in the evenings by the bands of the various regiments who camp there during the summer months and onto the grass in the shade they seated themselves; then the band very softly started in to play "Sweet Hour of Prayer." At its conclusion Rev. Jordan Chavis, chaplain of the Eighth, stepped forward and offered up a powerfully fine prayer; another upward by the band, then he opened his Bible and read the 33rd Psalm and selected the 12th verse thereof for his morning text; "Christian Patriotism was the subject of his discourse; he exclaimed "Blessed is a nation who has for its God Jehovah." He urged upon his hearers to lead honest, clean and upright lives, to refrain from using all kinds of bad language; he pleaded with them to conduct themselves like manly men while in camp so as not to bring any disgrace upon themselves nor the regiment and its officers. He preached in a strong and clear voice and each word spoken by him could be distinctly heard by those sitting far and near to him. In winding up his eloquent and sensible discourse the band sweetly and very softly rendered "What a Friend we have in Jesus." Many White citizens in their fine autos and carriages attended the Sunday morning services. Between seven and nine thousand people visited the camp Sunday afternoon so as to be present at the guard mounting; the dress parade.

Theodore Roosevelt And His Hostile Attitude Towards The Afro-Americans HE FAVORS HOODWINKING AND CATERING TO THEM IN THE NORTHERN STATES WHERE THEIR VOTES COUNT FOR SOMETHING. IN THE SOUTHERN STATES HE HAS NO USE FOR THE NEGRO, HE FAVORS IN THAT SECTION OF THE COUNTRY HIS DISFRANCHISEMENT AND THE REPEAL OF THE 13TH, 14TH AND 15TH AMENDMENTS TO THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONS. HIS FINER SENSIBILITIES PERTAINING TO THE WRONGS AND INJUSTICE HEAPED UPON THE AFRO-AMERICAN ARE DEAD BEYOND RESURRECTION. HE HAS ABSOLUTELY GONE MAD OR INSANE IN HIS THIRST FOR POLITICAL POWER AND HE IS WILLING TO TRAMPLE UNDER FEET EVERYTHING THAT IS RIGHT AND JUST IN ORDER TO ATTAIN IT. Mr. Roosevelt had his way in Chicago. Despite the protests of Jane Addams and many others, the party of "progress," which bases its hopes for success on its programme of social justice, committed the injustice of throwing out the Negro delegates from the South, declaring for a "lily-white" policy there, and adopted its platform without a single reference of any kind to the Colored man. The terrible injustice done him the country over; the denial of civic and political rights guarded to him; his practically complete disfranchisement in the South—all of these things were forgotten because the apostle of justice himself hopes, with What Jane Addams herself called "statesmanlike (!) policy," to break up the Solid South. So the Negroes, even those who worked for Roosevelt in the Taft Convention, were flung aside—just as he would fling aside any body or set of men when it served his purpose to do so. The Jews, themselves, to whom he has toadied and whom he has flattered by high appointments, he would discard as readily as he has Mr. Taft, Mr. Root, and his other tried friends and Cabinet associates, should there be political profit to be gained by taking an anti-Semitic position. If there is any one group of men and women in this country suffering from oppression, it is the Colored people; but the party of social justice is to think only of wrongs done to whites! Undoubtedly, Mr. Roosevelt is certain that before the campaign is far along he will win back the disaffected Negroes. He has beyond question achieved what seemed the impossible in regaining the affections of many disgruntled whites in the South after the Booker Washington luncheon, and of the Negroes after the Brownsville episode. His friends will not hesitate to use money in his behalf and the Negro himself, slow to anger and easy-going may recall those many handsome actions of Roosevelt in the White House; and those manly and just letters on the Negro question, the hypocrisy of which he has now so clearly demonstrated. Perhaps, the Negro will be fooled again as he has been so many times before. Yet we cannot think this so likely this time; for there is increasing independence of thought among the educated Colored people and a growing realization of their latent political power. As Mr. Andrew B. Humphrey pointed out the other day, 600,000 Negroes in twenty-two States may elect the next President. They would, if they could but stand together, if they had but the group-consciousness and solidarity so marked among others in our cosmopolitan population. It is unnecessary to say that if they had this political cohesiveness, Mr. Roosevelt would prefer their votes to those of the Southerners who, he hopes, will give him the electoral vote of North Carolina, or Georgia, or Alabama. But he knows that it is almost impossible to trace a single political outcome, even in Ohio, to the Colored voters as a whole. He himself, as Republican President and also as delegate to one Republican Convention after the other since 1884, helped to fuel the Negroes No.46 More Roosevelt Hostile At- Towards Pro-Americans CATERING TO THEM IN THE NORTH VOTES COUNT FOR SOMETHING.

Like his Republican associates, he has pulled the wool over their eyes so often as to feel certain of his ability to do it again, and the chances are in his favor. Yet year by year independence does grow among the Colored voters. If many vote for Roosevelt this year, it will help to break that tie with the Republican party which has kept the bulk of the Negroes in thraldom to it. By so much more will the habit of independent voting be established; while those among them who have seen through Roosevelt at last, will thereby be rendered the less likely to worship false gods hereafter. That Mr. Roosevelt did not see fit to placate the race of one of those plattitudinous expressions of sympathy that leave a grateful feeling with those whom it is intended to help, yet butter no parapens, is a genuine surprise. He seems to have lost some of his political skill. That the whole episode will embitter the unhappy lot of the Negroes the country, let no one doubt. It is difficult for those who are enfranchised and socially free to realize how terrible the burden this race bears; how staggering the handicaps, and how helpless it is without the ballot to rectify its wrongs. Two recent happenings in the South are especially ominous. Our readers will recall how Mr. Roosevelt and the leading white men of the South have applauded Booker Washington's advice to the Negro to acquire property, to be industrious and law-abiding as the true way to racial and civic happiness. Well, in Mooresville, N. C., a self-respecting Colored carpenter bought real estate some years ago in a decent section of the city; when he began to build his own home on it this spring the City Council passed an ordinance for bidding it. In Greensville, N. C., two brothers were prevented by a segregation ordinance from purchasing a $65,000 piece of property they had contracted for. The representatives of Anglo-Saxon culture who owned the property refused to return the $150 paid for the purchase-option on the ground that the brothers had broken their contract! In Georgia, last June, Anne Bostwick, a Colored woman who had been previously declared insane, killed the white woman who employed her. She was shot to death by a mob of white men, defenders of Anglo-Saxon superiority. It is, of course, impossible for the Colored population to hold the officials responsible or to participate in the election of others who will uphold them in their constitutional rights as to the ownership of property or guarantee them the protection of the law when accused of crime. They are helpless and hopeless, for they are without remedy. And the Progressive party, according to its leader, says that, because there have been venal Negro delegates at Republican conventions in the past (by whose votes he has hitherto been only too glad to profit), this oppressed race shall have no representatives in the party of social justice!

It was by far the largest number of people that had visited it at any one time this year and as far as we could see no woman White or Colored was insulted by the Colored soldiers. Frank S Dickson, the Ad- jatant General and a number of his prominent friends attended the band coneert in the evening.

Aside from this routine work, a num- ber of soldiers are detailed to do guard uty and to keep the grounds in a sanitary condition. Each day two to three companies practice rife shooting on the range, under the instractions of Captain William . Jefferson, regi- mental rifle inspector. Captain Jeffer- ‘son works very hard each day in order to learn the soldiers the perfect art af long and short distance shooting. ‘The Srd battalion of the 23rd U. 8. Infantry has been stationed at camp Lineoln during the encampment of all the regiments there and they have been used as models in instructing the sold- fers of this state the highest arts of war. Major Muer of the regular army and Captain Wicks, 28th U. 8.

Physicians Asked not to Send Dying Indigent Patients to Southwest. Physicians in alt of the eastern and jsouthern states will be ssked by the ‘National Association for the Btudy and ‘Prevention of Tuberculosis to stop sending consumptives in the last stages of tuberculosis end without sufficient aunds to the southwestern part of the United States in search of health, ac- cording to an announcement made to- day by that association. ‘While it is impossible to tell accu- rately how many consumptives there ‘are at present living in the states of Colorado, New Mexieo, Arizona, South- ern California, and Western Texas, it is probable that no less than 10 per cont of the 6,000,000 people in this ter- ritory have tuberculosis themselves or have come to the West because some member of their family has bad it. ‘Every year, the health suthorities es- timate, not less than 10,000 consump- tives hopelessly diseased come West to die. For these cases, the climate of this section of the country can do nothing and they are compelled to die in strange surroundings and thousands of miles from home and friends. ‘The Nations! Association points out further that from 50 to 60 per cent of these advanced cases are too poor to provide the proper necessaries of life and that they are either starved to death or compelled to accept the meagre charity which this part of the country affords. In an effort to stop the migration’ of consumptives of this class to the Southwest, the National Association will ask physicians to be more careful in ordering patients to go away, and will also ask railroads to discontinue their practice of selling ‘‘charity’’ tickets to those who cannot afford to pay full fare ‘‘No consumptive should go to Colorado, California, or the West for his health,’’ says the as- sociation, ‘‘unless he has 2 good chance for recovery from his disease, and un- ess especially he has at least $1,000 10 spend for this purpose, over and above what his family may need. <«Tuberoulosis ean be cured in any part-of the United States, and it is not necessary for a tuberculosis patient to go West. Whenever possible, the Na- ional Association urges tuberculosis patients who have not ample funds to yo to a sanatorium near home, and if hey cannot do this, to take the cure n their own homes, under the direction f a physician.” GIVE US SATE MILK. In the discussion that is now going lon concerning Chicago’s milk supply; both sides are agreed on three ver} important propositions. These are: 1. Milk should be as clean as pos sible. 2 It must be kept clean at all times. 3. It should be free from disease producing germs. 4. That the supply of milk should be big enough so that everybody de siring to use milk may be able to ob- tain it at @ reasonable price. ‘The ordinance that the Health De- partment has advocated provides that ll milk sold shall be reasonably clean; that it shall be kept at a temperature not higher than 60 degrees F. or cold: er than this if possible. It provides for the establishment of two grades of milk, both of which must be free from disease producing germs. The first grade is called ‘‘inspected milk.”’ This milk shall come from cows that are ascertained to be free from tuber. eulosis and other diseases. A great many milk producers will not be able ‘to meet these requirements for the rea son that their cows have not been ‘tuberculin tested. A great many of ‘the farmers too, cannot be taught, in ‘8 short time st least, to produce milk ‘that will mest the requirements of in- speeted milk. Because this is true the Health De- partment grdimance provides for the ‘second grade of milk to be known as “pasteurized milk.’? This is s milk heated sufficiently to Kill disease germs, which means that by this, diseased milk that would not pass as inspected rik can be made eafe and wholesome ordinance also requires that the heating or pasteurizing of this class ‘of milk shall be done under strict sv- pervision of the Department of Health, ‘and the finished product placed on the market for consumers, clean and free from dirt and disease germs. ‘The frst aunnal reception and masiesle, in honor of the visiting guests to the city, was held on Thurs- day evening at Bethel A. M. E. Church under the auspices of the Grant Guild No.1. Mrs. Hattie Arrant, President; Miss Mannie Swan, Seeretary. A silver Offering was taken up at the door.
