BIRD'S EYE-VIEW OF THE GREATE One hour after arriving in Washington, D. C., Monday evening, March 3, we wended our way to the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Dunn, 125 C. Street, S. W. Mrs. Dunn was formerly Miss Alice Fowler, sister of Mrs. Geneva Smith, 5363 Dearborn street this city and we had the pleasure of meeting Miss Fowler while she was visiting her sister here in the summer of 1905, and not long after returning to her home in Atlanta, Ga. she became united in marriage to Mr. Dunn and not long after doing so they removed from Atlanta to Washington, D. C., where he holds a civil service position with the United States government. While stopping at their nicely furnished home we had the freedom of the house and this fact made it ever so much like home. That same Monday evening, after Mrs. Dunn had prepared our dinner and we had safely stored it away, Mr. and Mrs. Whitlow, Mrs. Dunn and the writer strolled down Pennsylvania avenue clear apart the Court of Honor, where the President and Vice-President stood for many hours the next day to review the great parade. Pennsylvania Ave. was brilliantly illuminated from end to end, it seemed with more than a million electric lights, making it just as light as a bright sunny day and it was a most enchanting sight to behold. Right at this point we must pause for a few moments to state for the second time that we arrived in Washington, D. C., on Monday evening just in time to see the tail end of the equal suffrage parade and to witness some of the many insults heaped upon some of the best White women in this country, by White gentlemen hailing from all parts of it. Major Sylvester, superintendent of the police force of that city and the vast majority of his head and lesser officers were not in favor of the equal suffrage parade and very little effort was put forth by them to maintain any kind of order while the paraders passed down Pennsylvania Ave.; many of the (White) officers themselves gleefully joining in with other White gentlemen in loudly hurling some of the vilest, the coarsest and the most abhorrent epithets, not at the Colored women who were in the parade, but at White ladies, their own flesh and blood. Several half drunken White gentlemen spat in the faces of some of the White ladies in the parade and one White gentleman in order to show that he was a real gentleman staggered up in front of a very beautiful young lady who was astride a horse, caught her by the foot, pulled her big toe and was just in the act of taking other undue liberties with her when she kicked him in the face and rode on. Disorder was so rampant and the White police officers from the highest to the lowest with few exceptions made no effort to protect them, and in order to restore order and give the marchers fair play like other American citizens a large number of the ninth cavalry were forced to ride at full speed up and down each side of Pennsylvania Ave. for the sole purpose CHICAGO, MARCH 22, 1913 M. W. WILSON of forcing the mob of White gentlemen to fall back and give their own ladies a chance to march and show their beautiful shapes or forms and many of the White police officers who had been standing around with folded arms and assisting to hurl all kinds of insults at the ladies by calling them "Ga. chickens" and so on, were compelled to flee for their lives in order to avoid being trampled upon by the mounted cavalrymen. Two days after the equal suffrage parade the Senate Committee started into investigating the conduct of Major Sylvester and the other high police officials in relation to the parade and it is very gratifying to state that many of the White ladies testified before the Senate Committee to the effect that "with rare exceptions the Colored police officers were the only ones who honestly endeavored to maintain law and order and that put forth their very best efforts to manfully protect them from the brutal and the uncalled for assaults of White gentlemen." ning to its end; there was no color line in it at any point; it was an old-fashioned Democratic parade in every way; first to attract the attention of the vast concourse of people who witnessed it was the carriage of the Presidential party and it was occupied by President Wilson, former President William H. Taft, and by Senators Crane and Bacon; the fine horses attached to the Presidential carriage were driven by Sandy Brooks, who is a real Afro-American, and he has driven all the Presidents, from President William McKinley down to President Wilson; he was also assisted by a Colored footman; the next to pass the Court of Honor after the mounted police was Major-General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, U. S. A., and his staff; the famous Ninth Cavalry (Colored) occupying the post of honor; the New York Times of Sunday, March 9, contains a very beautiful view or picture of the Ninth Cavalry and the prominent part they played in the parade and so great was the demand for In view of this fact as of all the foregoing, what becomes of the hue and ery that White gentlemen are ever ready to send up to the high heavens, that the honor of White ladies must be protected at all times not by Black men but by White gentlemen; that Colored men have no higher ambition than to rape or assault White ladies? This may be true in the estimation of some White gentlemen but we strongly incline to the opinion that many White gentlemen have not the slightest respect for the very best women of their own race and that on the slightest occasion they are ready to assault and insult them and place them on the same level with the White ladies who reside in the Red Light districts in all the large and in many of the smaller cities and towns throughout this country. With these preliminary remarks we will proceed with the main subject namely, the important part played by many prominent Afro-Americans in the inaugural ceremonies attending the induction into office of President Woodrow Wilson and Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall Thousands of Afro-Americans residing in Washington, D. C., and in other sections of this country were so full of prejudice against the Democrats or the Democratic party, that they felt dead sure that not one Colored person in any manner, shape or form would be permitted to have one thing to do in connection with the inaugural parade, but in this respect they were sadly mistaken and it is far beyond our ability to convey to the minds of the many readers of this paper, the importance of the Afro-Americans in the memorable parade from its begin- ning to its end; there was no color line in it at any point; it was an old fashioned Democratic parade in every way; first to attract the attention of the vast concourse of people who witnessed it was the carriage of the Presidential party and it was occupied by President Wilson, former President William H. Taft, and by Senators Crane and Bacon; the fine horses attached to the Presidential carriage were driven by Sandy Brooks, who is a real Afro-American, and he has driven all the Presidents, from President William McKinley down to President Wilson; he was also assisted by a Colored footman; the next to pass the Court of Honor after the mounted police was Major-General Leonard Wood, chief of staff, U. S. A., and his staff; the famous Ninth Cavalry (Colored) occupying the post of honor; the New York Times of Sunday, March 9, contains a very beautiful view or picture of the Ninth Cavalry and the prominent part they played in the parade and so great was the demand for that issue of the Times in the East that we were unable to secure a copy of that issue until we called at the Times Building, in the Times Square in New York City on Wednesday, March 12. The appearance of the Ninth Cavalry in the parade was the first eye opener for the doubting Afro-Americans, but they were nothing in comparison to that which was to follow them for a very large number of Afro-Americans were mixed up or in among the National Guards of the various states, and at no time were they bunched off by themselves; on the contrary they proudly marched right by the sides of their respective White comrades in arms and not the slightest attempt on the part of any one was made to insult them for so doing. The majority of the orderlies were young Colored men, they being mounted on fleet-footed horses and it was no uncommon sight to see them racing up and down Pennsylvania Avenue, or the full length of the parade carrying orders to this or to that high commanding officer as the case might be. It more than filled our heart with joy when we beheld Governor Foss of Massachusetts in all his military glory, mounted on a beautiful black horse riding well in advance of his staff officers, with the great National Guard of that Cod Fish State following them, and just as Governor Foss rode opposite to where we were standing and looking at him square in his smiling Democratic face, a Colored orderly rushed up in front of him, halted his horse in the twinkling of an eye, then he gave the Governor the The Grand Reception and Banquet in Honor of Bishop Alexander Walters AND OTHER DISTINGUISHED VISITORS TO WASHINGTON, D.

C., tendered a grand reception and banquet, to Bishop Alexander Walters, and other distinguished visitors, to that city during the Inauguration week. Mr. William T.

C. A. Building, 1816 12th Street N. W. The reception was from 8 to 11 p. m. and the cream of the 400 among the Afro-Americans in that city, also including many of the most distinguished men and women from other parts of the country and it was some manners, the way the ladies were costumed. Many of them were attired in the richest and the finest of creations of the Modiste Art, and they were the personification of all that is lovely and beautiful. The majority of the men were in full evening dress. An orchestra discoursed the finest music, during the reception and the banquet which followed it. Prof. L. M. Hershaw more than sustained his past reputation as one of the most brilliant toastmasters in this country. The following was the order of the program speakers: Prof. L. M. Hershaw, Toastmaster; Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, Address of Welcome; Bishop Alexander Walters, Response—Our Permanent Gains and the Things We Hope to Obtain; Dr. George C. Clement, Prof. Kelly Miller, Good Fellowship in Politics; Fountain Peyton, The Lawyer in Politics; James H. Anderson, The Press; Roscoe C. Bruce, Hon. John C. Dancy, Alain Le-Roy Locke, New Leadership; Julius F. Taylor, Napoleon B. Marshall, Organization; James A. Ross, S. Douglass Russell, J. E. Curtis, Alfred B. Cosey, Reception Committee—W. T. Fergu proper salute. In a very graceful manner the Governor returned it. Then the Colored orderly switched his horse around and rode along by the side of the Governor, ran one hand in his pocket, pulled out some papers, handed them to him and after the Governor had read their contents, they again exchanged salutes and the Colored orderly rode on down Pennsylvania Avenue on other official business in connection with the inaugural parade. More than five thousand members of the National Guards of Maryland were in the line of march, headed by Governor Goldsborough and his official staff, and right in the center of the Maryland troops, marched the First separate company of Baltimore, commanded by Captain Spencer, and they were loudly applauded while proudly marching along Pennsylvania Avenue from both White and Colored alike, while the band played "My Maryland, My Maryland." The law students of the Howard University with their long coats and black caps made a fine impression as they marched along that famous thoroughfare.

The menu was all that could be expected. It was served by the California Fruit and Delicatessen Co., A. H. Underdown, manager. He is proud of the fact that he is an Afro-American Democrat, and he and his good wife, Mrs. Underdown, conduct one of the neatest and one of the best delicatessen stores in Washington, D. C. In the midst of the feasting Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis interestingly recited to the great pleasure of the three hundred or more guests seated around the long banquet tables. The following are a few of the many prominent ladies and gentlemen present: Bishop and Mrs. Alexander Walters, Bishop and Mrs. G. W. Clinton, Bishop J. W. Allstork, Dr. Dr. George E. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion; Register of the Treasury and Mrs. J. C. Napier, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, James A. Cobb, Judge R. H. Terrell, Francis Warren, Detroit, Mich.; Rev. W. J.

Anderson, Chicago, Ill.; James A. Ross, Robert N. Wood, James L. Curtis and James H. Lynch, New York, and Julius F. Taylor, Chicago, Illinois. The Battalion of the Colored High School cadets of Washington, D. C., marched and counter-marched almost as well as the well drilled or trained soldiers and with a fine band of music they attracted much attention, right here it must be said that the color line was so indistinct that several of the White bands had from one to three or four Colored men in them and they played away and made as much noise in blowing their horns as the White members of the bands. The Colored Uniform Bank Knights of Pythias, the True Reformers and several other Colored civic clubs and so on including the National Colored Independent League with William Monroe Trotter, Editor of the Guardian, Boston, Mass., well to the front; Richard R. Horner, one of the leading Afro-American lawyers of Washington, D. C., commanding the Eighth Brigade, which was headed by the National Training School Band (Colored) Washington, D.

It was carried by ‘one of the largest Colored men in “Washington; sbout fifty of its mem- Dérs were in evidence in the parade, many of them wearing high silk bats. Only five were present that marched ‘péhind the anme banner at the Kansas ‘City convention in 1900, when Colonel ‘William J. Bryan was nominated the second time to make the race for presi- dent of the United States. The five men were as follows: James A. Boss, Buffalo, N. ¥.; James H. W. ‘Howard, Harrisburg, Pa.; George E. Taylor, Ottumwa, Iowa; James H. ‘Lynch, at that time residing in Helens, ‘Mont, now of New York City, and Julius F. Taylor, of Tlinois. ‘The members of the League were heartily cheered, along the line of march and received their share of the ‘honors as its members passed through ‘the Court of Honor, and were re- viewed by the President and Vice President. ‘No color line existed during the in- sngural exercises.

Four hundred copies of the special Washington, D. C, edition of The ‘Broad Ax of March 1, 1913, were dis- tributed in the Capitol of this mighty nation and they were read by some of the most eminent White and Colored ‘men and women in the world. (To be continued.) COMMITTEE KILLS BILLS PRE- ee eee Detroit Negroes Hlated Over Failure , ‘of House to Get Vote. Detroit Negroes are elated over in- formation received from Lansing that ithe miscegenation bill has been killed jim the house committee on state affairs. The measure aimed to prohibit mar- rriages between members of the White and Black or Yellow races. ‘Agitation which resulted in the de- ‘termination to press the inter-racial marriage prohibition began immediately ‘after the Jack Johnson-Lucile Cameron union, and received a local impetus when a Chinese restsurant keeper mar- ried a White girl. Detroit legislators almost without exception at that time announced themselves in favor of mak- ing such unions illegal. "At the opening of the present ses- sion of the legislature, two miscege- nation bills were introduced into the house, both being referred to the com- mittee on state affairs. The commit. tee gave a public hearing and about 200 Negroes, largely from Detroit and ‘Ann Arbor, appeared in opposition to the measure. They made strong pleas for the killing of the legislation in I Stanton tt 2H ‘ord vote in the house would mean its passage. ee “Word has been received that the state affsirs committee had voted not to report the Dill, on the ground that jit would absélutely prevent the mar riage of about 8,000 people in Michi gan who have about one-eighth Negro (blood in their veins, and would by the terms of the measure be unable to wed either a member of the White ‘or Black race—The Informer, Detroit ‘Mich, March 15, 1913. ATTORNEY: A. L. WILLIAMS AND JULIUS F. TAYLOR SPENT LAST | WEDNESDAY AT SPRINGFIELD HOBNOBBING WITH MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATUBE. = Tuesday evening at 10:30 o'clock, Attorney A. I. Williams, 184 W. Washington Street, and Julius F. Tay- lor left for Springfield, I, on the Diamond Special, ovér the Ilincis ‘Central Railrosd, and spent sll day Wednesday it bobnobbing with Demo- ‘Republican, Progressive and Socialist metmbers of the Legislature jot Tincis. ~ They were kindly received and se corded the very highest consideration by each and every member of the Sen- ate pnd House, proached by them jand they fecl safe in saying that xc ‘Ti Crow’? legislation will be ex lected by the present stesion af the stare of Illimelss - Gevernor William Sulzer of New York Spoke at the Banquet ‘Mr. Sulzer said in part: “<The memory of Saint Patrick is an inspiration to the lovers of liberty, ‘and an incentive for nobler and better things to the friends of humanity. ‘No race in all the world, has ever met adversity with moxe heroism, with finer fortitude, and sana greater obstacles, in the march of progress than the intrepid sons and the virtu: ‘ous daughters of Ireland. “One of the greatest characters of all the past, from whom the Irish peo: ple bave ever gained hope and cour age, in their struggle for better cou: ditions, for more freedom, and for the rights of their country, has been dear old Saint Patrick, who drove out the snakes, planted the Shamrock on Irish soil, and instructed the Irish of bygone days to cultivate love of country and national unity. «‘amid all the trials and afflictions with which the Irish people have been surrounded, they never lost fpith in the dawning of the better day. In vis ions they have seen and struggled for happy hames and a contented country. All honor and all glory to the Irish for their fidelity to principle, and their de votion to the patriotic aspirations of their race. ‘eThere is no way by which one can better gain courage, and hope, and de- termination, to perform his duty as he ‘sees the right, than to look back for inspiration to the lives of illustrious men who in their day and genera tion had the courage of their convie- tions, and did their duty honestly and fearlessly, regardless of the future or of personal consequences. “<Philosephers have speculated as to whether prosperity or adversity is the more conducive to the genius of 2c complishment. ‘The spirit of the Irish race which has always met adversity ‘with sublime faith in the future and 2 determination to overcome every ob- stacle, answers the question; and this faith and this determination have pro duced the heroic men and the noble ‘women of the Emerald Isle. “Speaking 2s the Governor ef the first state in the Union, I assert with: out fear of successful contradiction the great debt the commonwealth of New York owes to the sons and the daughters of Ireland. The earliest his tory of our state tells of celebration in honor of Saint Patrick like tha ‘which we are holding tonight, the ree ‘ords show that Saint Patrick’s day was celebrated in New York as early a 1762. The New York Mercury on Marc} 15, 1762, informs us that the following notice was published: “<The ganiversary feast of Saint Patrick is to be celebrated on Wednesday, the 17th instant, at the house of Mr. John Marshall, at Mount Pleasant, near the col- lege. Gentlemen that please to attend will meet with the best mu- sie”? In the New York Journal of Maret 11th, 1769, appears’ the following no tice: ‘«The Friendly Brothers of Saint Patrick and several gentlemen of this city, intend dining together at Bolton and Siegels next Monday, ‘and from thence to go to the play in the evening; such gentlemen as propose to join them will please to send in their name to the bar of said tavern two days. before.’” “We may read between the lines 0 these notices of days gone by, tha Saint Patrick’s day celebrations wer ‘then as now, intended to foster senti ments of love of good cheer, and o friendship. “In the story of the American Revo lution we find many references to th fact that the memory of Saint Patric! i a THE INSTITUTIONAL CHUBCH. 3825 Dearborn St, Rev.

General Washington gave orders for selebrat- ing the day in 1780, at Morristown, New Jersey. We read of his- dining with the Friendly Sons of Saint Pat- rick, where the ‘triumphant democ- racy’; ‘the American President’; ‘our Army’; ‘our Navy’; ‘our heroes and our martyrs’; were honored with hearty toasts. “In those days, as today, the Irish people were known for their joyous dispositions; for their hearty appre- ciation; for every kindness bestowed; for their reverence and veneration for the good and great; and for their am- bition to achieve industrial and politi- eal freedom and independence. “«Trishmen have never believed that government is a compact between those who govern and those who are gov- cerned. They have always been imbued with the spirit of the Declaration of Independence that the people compos- ing any country constitute the sover- eign power; and that governments only have a right to arise through a com- pact of the people with each other. “«Trishmen have ever believed in gov- ernments arising out of the people and not over the people. They have never ceased @ protest, and never will cease to protest against government by con- quest. No country has more unhappily illustrated the evils of government founded on conquest than has Ireland. ‘The old-time spirit of 1776, which ‘wrote the Declaration of Independence, which declared that all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator ‘with the inalienable right of life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, gives rise today to the sentiment for Home Rule, and’to the demand that the people of every. community shall have the right to govern their own affairs. “Let me say again what I have often ‘said before that I am now, always have been and ever will be, a firm be- liever in Home Rule—in the doctrine of the right of the people to govern themselves, In my opinion every com- munity of men inherently possess the right of self-government, and its de- nial has ever compelled the friends of liberty to seek through the most heroic |struggles to attain this right when denied by despotic rulers. | ‘<The establishment of the United States has shown that the people can be trusted with self-government. The eyes of suffering Ireland have ever been |fixed on us with joy and hope, where every man is a sharer in the direction of government he feels that he is a participator in its affairs not merely on Election Day, but on every day in ‘the year. “<A government of the people is the only government which is not eternally at war with the rights of man."? “Saint Patrick was a Home Ruler.

Concerning the Boy’s and Girl’s Clean Chicago Clubs, it perhaps should be stated again that the Department of Health now has all the necessary printed matter including membership application blanks, report blanks, plans of organization, stamped and addressed envelopes and button badges. It is suggested that each neighborhood have a club of this kind and that the parents not only give their consent but also encourage their children in this work. There can be no question but that the children themselves will be benefited in every way. Their duties will take them out of doors and besides being of physical benefit will tend to develop habits of observation and study of con- ditions that make for community good and safety and thus ineuleate some splendid lessons in civie work. Any boy or girl desiring to organize a Clean Chieago Club in their communities ean obtain full information and supplies by calling on the Secretary of the De- partment of Health, Room 710, City Hall. fee Don’t wait for the Mayor’s procia- mation for a clean-up day. Start now and beat him to it. In a big city like Chicago every day should be a clesn- up day. Rubbish, ashes and garbage should be gathered up and placed in receptacles ready for the city wagons to remove. Let everybody tidy up. Just now there are thousands of manure piles all over the city. ‘These manure piles will breed flies and flies are dan- igerous. Stable manure is valuable for fertilizing the soil. It should be gath- ered up and sent to the country where the farmers and truck gardeners can make good use of it by scattering it over their fields and ploughing it into the soil. ‘Then they will raise big erops of nice, fresh vegetables for the markets of Chicago. So, manure in the proper place is of great value; but allowed to remain in the alleys and stables of Chicago it breeds count- less millions of flies that only carry disease and death wherever they go. eee So, the Department of Health is glad to see the signs of Spring and glad also to see the signs that promise good things for Chicago. For if we make our city clean it will be a healthy city. ‘There will be fewer sick babies and Pra eal ae apace aes peer oe The Democrats of Old Missouri Killed the Jim Crow Oar Law. ‘The Missouri legislature, which is overwhelmingly democratic has killed ‘the Jim Crow ear bill.

WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEy A SERUM AND A Vaccine: ‘Well Known Medical Authority pp plains Distinctions and v.... «The Natare of Vaccines, Sera ang Tuberealins with Special Reference ty their Use in the Treatment of Tuber. culosis’? is the title of a timely aristy which will appear in the April simiee of the Journal of the Outdoor 1:1. 145 Anti-Dubereulosis Magazine | \ve York). The article is written ty 4 well known authority on elinieat pty, ology. The author states that the usw of bacteriological preparations, such 5 vaceines and sera is twofold, bob, for the purpose of producing immunity against certain diseases and also for the purpose of assisting ix the curs of certain disease processes. They are used both upon healthy and xpon sick persons. A serum may be defined as a fuia separated from the clot of the blood of some animal which bas previously een immunized agaiust the germ or poison of a certain disease such as diphtheria, or hay fever. It is administered to eure a disease process in the human boy aft. er the disease has already developed and is not designed as a preventive. ‘A vaccine on the other hand, is a weakened poison or virus of cur tain disease such as smallpox or hydro- phobia, whieh is taken from a eaif ot ‘some other animal afflicted with the disease in question. During the pro- cess of the disease in the aniol, the Poison which the germs of the disease east off, becomes attenuate. Then, when it is inoculated into the human body, a protective reaction of the healthy tissues against this poison fol lows and an immunity against the dis ease is thus produced. A vaccine of this character is designed for use only in a healthy body and is not for use after the active symptoms of the dis: jease appear. ‘The term vaceine is also used in some eases to apply to attenuated germs which have been weakened, usually by heating or otherwise. These preparations ‘are also called ‘‘baeterial-vaccines,” or bacterins, in distinction from virus. vaceines, These bacterial-vaccines are ‘employed not only for inoculating the healthy individual in order to protect against infectious disease, such as ty- phoid fever, the plague, or tuberculo- sis, but also for inoculating the dis jeased body in order to stimulate the production of protective substances when the processes of nature appar ently are not working sufficiently a¢- tively toward recovery. ‘Tuberenlin, of which there are 9 con siderable number of varieties, is a prep ‘aration made from the germs of tuber- eulosis, so treated that the poison ordi- narily produced by these bacilli is killed or rendered innocuous. Tuber culin is really a distinct kind of bac- terial-vaceine used in the treatment of ‘tuberculosis, and has been employed ‘both for therapeutic and prevestive purposes.

These papers con- cern an enormously wealthy grant of land in the United States, which some dsy will make her very wealthy. Before departing for the Philippines, Col. Warsaw is informed that a certain Major Drummond who was commis- sioned to the Islands several months prior to the @iseovery of the theft, had committed the crime. Captain Jasper is commanded to search for him and to recover at all hazards the secret plans. The Colonel intends at the same time to make an effort to secure the return of the valuable documents left by Ser- geant Jackson, to the Colonel. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Jackson (formerly Che teka Castro) a native of the Philippine Islands, whose relations have become estranged, and having a longing for her native land, decides to return and take her daughter Cheteka with her. Here she meets Major Drummond who a¢- quaints her with the contents of the valuable missing documents left in trust to Colonel Warsaw. Through much persuasion, false promises, ete., he finally induced Cheteka to sign a power of attorney authorizing him to dispose of her property rights left by her father; just as he is negotiating to dispose of same at a great undervalue, he is detected by one U.

Don't shift or there'll be a flood.” An hour went by. but the plumber had not returned. Then the butler called a servant who was passing and told her to fetch him up.

Since that time additional mem- bers have brought its total member- ship up to about thirty of Philadel- phia’s best known young men. ‘The organization contains profession- 1 men in many walks of life, such as dentists, physicians, lawyers, theolo- gians, college students and self made men, who without professional train- ing are fast forging abead, representa- tive of Quaker push and ambition. Any attempt to go into further de- tails is unnecessary. Reference to the records of some of its members, how- ever, at this point seems most inap- propriate.
