The Frederick Douglass Celebration at Quinn Chapel was Largely Attended. It was Eloquently Addressed by Mr. Justice Orrin N. Carter ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF THE SUPREME COURT OF ILLINOIS DURING HIS LONG-TO-BE-REMEMBERED ORATION DECLARED THAT "THE NEGRO MUST BE FREELY PERMITTED IN ALL PARTS OF THIS COUNTRY, TO ENJOY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT HIS CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS THAT THE SOCIAL EQUALITY BUGBEAR WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF." THAT HE MUST AGITATE! AGITATE! AGITATE! EDUCATE! EDUCATE! EDUCATE! AND CONTINUALLY STRIVE TO COME INTO POSSESSION OF THE FULL FRUITAGE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP." "THAT LIBERTY OR FREEDOM NEVER DESCENDED FROM THE STARRY HEAVENS ARRAYED IN HER NATIVE PURITY FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANY ONE RACE OF PEOPLE BUT ALL PEOPLE MUST RAISE THEMSELVES UP TO LIBERTY AND FREEDOM." HE EXCLAIMED THAT "THE PROUD AND HAUGHTY ANGLO-SAXONS MUST SOFTEN THEIR COLD HEARTS AND LEARN TO TREAT THE NEGRO WITH JUSTICE AND CONSIDERATION. HE VIVIDLY TRACED THE STORMY AND WONDERFUL CAREER OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS ON UP FROM THE SLAVE PEN, THE AUCTION BLOCK, THE LECTURE PLATFORM, TO THE EDITOR'S CHAIR, UNITED STATES MARSHAL FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, RECORDER OF DEEDS, MINISTER TO SANTA DOMINGO AND WORLD'S FAIR COMMISSIONER. HE EMPHATICALLY DECLARED THAT "THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES CAN NEVER BE WRITTEN WITHOUT LINKING THE NAMES OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND FREDERICK DOUGLASS TOGETHER, THAT THEY WERE BOTH BORN IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, ONE IN ABJECT POVERTY, THE OTHER IN SLAVERY, THAT THEY BOTH HAD TO STRUGGLE LONG AND HARD IN ORDER TO FORCE THEMSELVES TO THE FRONT." THAT "THEY BOTH HAD TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES UNDER THE MOST DIFFICULT AND TRYING CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT THEY WERE BOTH STRONG BELIEVERS IN GOD AND THE BIBLE." HE PAID A GLOWING TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVERY OF THE COLORED SOLDIERS DECLARING THAT "IF THE WHITE SOLDIERS ACCORDING TO GENERAL GRANT HAD BACKED UP THE NEGEO TEOOPS AS THEY SHOULD HAVE AT PETERSBURG THAT THAT CITY WOULD HAVE BEEN CAPTURED OR FALLEN ONE YEAR BEFORE IT DID." HE DISPLAYED A WONDERFUL AMOUNT OF FAMILIARITY PERTAINING TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE COLORED RACE ALONG THE LINES OF EARNEST ENDEAVOR. PATRICK H. O'DONNELL ELOQUENTLY SPOKE INSTEAD OF JUDGE JULIAN W.

IT WAS BY FAR THE BEST MEETING EVER HELD IN THIS CITY IN HONOR TO THE MEMORY OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS. his civil and his political rights and that the social equality bugbear will at all times take care of itself." His remarks in that respect were in marked contrast to those of Governor Edward F. Dunne, who spoke at the Institutional church the Sunday evening before and he wasted much of his time in attempting to talk a lot of nonsense in relation to social equality. He maintained that "the Negro must agitate, agitate, agitate, educate, educate, educate, and continually strive to come into possession of the full fruitage of American citizenship; that liberty or freedom never descended from the starry heavens arrayed in her native purity for the special benefit of any one race of people, but all people must raise themselves up to liberty or freedom." All those who attended the Frederick Douglass celebration at Quinn chapel last Sunday afternoon and heard the golden words as they rolled from the mouth of Mr. Justice Orrin N. Carter, associate member of the supreme Court of Illinois, who traveled from Springfield and back to it at his own expense, especially to deliver his masterly oration on Frederick Douglass, should feel themselves highly honored to the end of time, for he spoke like unto a prophet of old and he can be truly classed with the greatest of the evangelists, who have in the past tried aloud from the highest mountain tops and the valleys below against wrong and oppression of every kind. Justice Carter had hardly gotten warmed up to his subject and his long-to-be remembered oration before he declared that "the Negro must be freely permitted in all parts of this country to enjoy to the fullest extent In a burst of eloquence he ex- claimed that "The proud and haughty (Continued on page 2.)

Them let the Colored man go ahead and do the rest. Your peo- ple own $500,000,000 in property in the United States. The time is coming ‘when your moral and intellectual free- dom will be secured.’? Very vividly he traced the stormy and more than wonderful career of Frederick Douglass from the slave pen, the auetion block, the lecture platform, on up to the editor’s chair, United States Marshal for the Distriet of Col- umbia, Recorder of Deeds, Minister to Santo Domingo and World’s Fair com- missioner from that country in 1893, im fact to his death in 1895. Justice Carter emphatically de- elared that “‘The history of the United ‘States can never be truthfully written without linking the names of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln to- gether, that they were both born in the month of February, one in abject pov- erty, the other in slavery, that they both had to struggle long and hard im order to force themselves to the front, that they both had to educate themselves under the most trying and difficult circumstances, that they were Doth grest public speakers, that they were both firm or strong believers in God and in the bible.’? He related how William Feeland, the owner of Frederick Douglass, had commanded his wife to refrain from teaching him his A-B-C's, stating by doing so she would spoil a good farm hand; how Frederick Douglass was sent to Baltimore to reside and while working in that city he came in close contact with many White boys, and being eager to learn all he could with- out them knowing what he was up to he would banter them that he could form and put more letters together than they could so the White boys, in order to show him that he was as dumb ass blind mule and that he would never learn or know as much as the dullest White boy, would jump or pitch im and write and join a long string of letters together and when they would get through writing, Frederick Dong- lass would make his ‘‘get away’? with the paper containing the writing; then in dim hours of the night and in the early mornings long before any of the White folks were awake and astir he would endeavor to write and con- neet the letters together just like the White boys, and that is the way he finally learned bow to read and write. After going to Baltimore from the farm Frederick Douglass worked in the shipyards and in no time he became & good ship carpenter and keeping his mouth: closed tight all the time as to his futare plans, all the time learning all be could about things in general, be finally successfully disguised bim- self as a sailor and made his escape from slavery in 1838, at first landing. in New York City, which was like be- ing in a new world to him. He was united in marriage in that city to Miss) Anna Murray whom he knew back! in Maryland in his slavery days.

In New Bedford he continued | es Sy? ea ee ES MGR GF CASS CIS GIOURG CESS Stalc OFC New England town, until 1841, thea he attended a mesting of the New England Anti-Slavery Society and at the end of the meeting he was, after & great deal of persuasion, induced to stand up and speak a few words against the institution of slavery, of which he was one of its victims, and in six months from his first attempt at public speaking he was classed with the most eloquent and the greatest orators in America, It was stated by Justice Carter, that Frederick Douglass wrote his first book on American Slavery in 1845, publish- ing it in 1846, shortly after that sail- ing for England, visiting Ireland where he was royally received by Daniel O'Connell, the greatest Irishman that was ever cast upon the shores of time; that he re-wrote and expanded his ‘autobiography in 1857, and again went to England in 1859, to escape arrest in the John Brown’s raid, while in England the second time he raised enough money by lecturing and from other soutces to enable him to purchase his freedom; that he ably edited and published the North Star at Rochester, New York, which he ran for seventeen long years and he was forced to mort- gage his home in order to raise the money to pay the printers, so as to ‘enable him to fight the terrific battles of his race; it was Frederick Douglass who in 1863, raised the 54th and the 55th Colored regiments of Mass., who bravely fought to the death on many battle fields for one year and a half before the United States government would give them the same pay as the White soldiers and at each pay day during all that time not one Colored soldier accepted the half rate salary, although they and their families needed the money very badly, finally they re- ceived full pay and their rations. The latter part of the year men- tioned above Frederick Douglass, called on President Lincoln at Washington, | D.

MARIE MITCHELL PRESIDED AT THE MEETING AND SHE AS WELL AS MANY OTHER AFRO-AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE aD ‘WAED ARE WHEELING IN LINE FOR ALDERMAN NORRIS. The Aldermanic contest in the see- ond ward continues to grow hotter and hotter each day and the followers and supporters of the candidacy of Col. William Randolph Cowan feel cock- sure that he will on next Tuesday, Feb. 24th, make a home run and come in under the wire way ahead of the rest of the candidates, but at the same time it can be truthfully said that many of his rattled brained and hot headed followers are hurting his cause and lessening his chances of winning every hour in the day and if he is defeated at the primaries he can attribute his defeat to his loud mouthed friends. Some of this class of his friends fol- lowed the Hon. Edward H. Wright, ex- county commissioner into the Odd Fel- lows Hall 3335 South State street, on Wednesday evening where the regular Republicans of the second ward were holding a meeting in the interest of Alderman Hugh Norris and they en- deavored to capture the meeting and turn it into » rough house and start in to pull off an old fashioned rough and tumble political fight. It seems; that the Hon. Edward D. Green, was just in the act of unwind- ing his speech, when Mr. Wright, en- tered the hall, and the very sight of Mr. Green, caused Mr. Wright, to bristle up, like a fighting lion and for a few moments, it looked as though they would go to the mat. of earnest endeavor. Patrick’ H. O’Donnell, spoke instead of Judge Julian W. Mack, who was suddenly called to Washington, D. C, Saturday evening by President Wilson. ‘Mr. A. H. Roberts very gracefully presided and it was by far one of the best meetings ever held in this city in honor of the memory of Frederick Douglass. ALDERMAN WILLIAM J. HEALY’S SPLENDID RECORD IN THE CITY couNcIL. | William J. Healy the Republican can- didate for alderman of the 18th ap- pears to have no primary opposition and if he had it would be the same as far as his success is concerned. He is recognized as uneonquerable in his ward. When he first ran the ward was orernbelningly Democratic and he de feated Ald. Michael 0. Conlon a strong Democrat by ® substantial majority. In his second race the ward was much larger, but he nevertheless performed ‘the phenomeral act of carrying every precinct in the ward, which was the cause of much comment through the city. It was evident that William J. Healy was just commeneing his career of prominence in politieal life. It is generally an honor to be @ native son and that honor belongs to Ald. Healy, as he was born and reared in the ter ritory which he ably represents in the municipal legislature. His mother who died not long ago was also reared in the territory. The Alderman’s father was born in Ireland in the Kingdom of Kerry and came of a family dis- tinguished in the national affairs of his country: The late Daniel D. Healy, the Alderman’s uncle, was one of Chieago’s leading citizens, who served the com- munity in responsible public offices and left every office with an untarnished record. The name Healy has in fact become synonymous with political success in eee Seely eee ‘The Alderman is Chairman of tho Committes on ‘‘Btreets and Alleys, Taxation and Street Nomenclature,’? one of the most important Council Com- It is said that Mr. Green, proposed to lay, both of their political records bare; that he did say, some unpleasant things, concerning the past political career of Mr. Wright, which caused considerable commotion, in the hall, and some claim; that Mr. Wright acted so ungentlemanly; that the police had to be called in, to quiet him, Mr. Wright, desired to speak from the platform, but the supporters of Alderman Norris, would not permit him to do so, claiming; that they did not rent the hall for that purpose. Mrs, Marie Mitehell, 3540 Dearborn street, presided, and she reminded Mr. Wright, so it is said, that if ke could not be a geatleman in the presence of the ladies present; that they would vote against him if he ever ran for office; im this city or county. Since the attempt, to break up the meeting, Alderman George F. Harding, feels dead sure; that Alderman Norris, will win out at the primaries, Tuesday February 24th, with both hands down. ‘Thursday evening, the Indies held largely attended meeting, in the inter- est of the renomination of Alderman Norris, at Entertainers Hall, 35th and Indiana avenue. It was addressed, by Mrs. Morris Lewis, Mrs. Ida M. Demp- ey, Mra. Cordelia West and Miss Blanche Shaw, and it seems that many of the most prominent Colored ladies in the 2nd ward are comjng out in the pen, for Alderman Norris. mittees. ‘The 18th ward is composed of various nationalities including many well to do Afro-Americans who all admire ‘<Billy’?

(Concluded from page 1.) February 24, 1914. Mr. Swift enjoys the confidence of bis constituents, who say that he has made the most efficient alderman the ward has ever had, and will be re-elected for another term. Alderman Swift has the indorse- ‘ment for re-nomination at the primaries Tuesday February 24th and re-election to the City Council Tuesday April 7th of the regular Democratic organization of the 30th ward. In addition to this; he has always been strong and popular, with all classes of his fellow citizens; which places him far in the lead of all of his ‘opponents, at the forthcoming pri- maries. For many years, Alderman Swift, has always employed, one or two Col ored men around his place of business and he and his estimable wife, Mra Swift have never failed to treat them with consideration and for these and numerous other reasons, many of the best and most progressive Afro-Ameri- cans, residing in the 30th Ward, will rally to his support, on Tuesday, Febru- ary 24th.—Adv.

Kuowledge of this reached the alder. man and he immediately requested that his friends should not proceed any fur. ther in such s movement, that they had bonored him enough by electing him to Tepresent them at the City Hall. He furthermore contended that they did not then know, whether he would merit the honor conferred on him or xot. o> tf a if ar Not jong ago the same friends rein foreed with others, became determined that the modesty and unselfishness of their Alderman would no longer serve as an excuse, as he bad positively made good, and must accept something, as a token of esteem from his consti- tuents.

Berggn was ut only compelled to listen to grand ssi eloquent eulogies of himself, but-he tit to accept a beautiful diamond star, to evidence the honor and regard that a good and faithful public servant ws held in by his constituents. Alderman Bergen is another of Chieago’s munic ipal law makers, who is a native son, his birthplace being not far from where he now lives.

New York Society Endearns to Treat Whole Family in Model Quarters. Results of a year's experiment in the home treatment of tuberculosis in the Vanderbilt tenements, conducted under the direction of the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, made public today, would indicate that consumption can be cured in congested districts of a large city and that too at an expense less than in the ordinary sanitarium. The experiment carried on during the past years is the first of its kind. It has been called the Home Hospital, because it provides a home for all of the members of the patient's family and in addition, all the advantages of hospital care for the consumptive himself. The hospital is located in the East River Homes, built by Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt especially for tuberculosis families. Twenty-seven families, consisting of 135 individuals were treated during the year. Six of the families have been rehabilitated physically, socially, and economically, and five have been discharged as not suitable for the experiment. Out of the 135 individuals, 79 were patients, the average number of patients being 2.92 to a family. The report shows that the average residence at the hospital was 233.3 days and that the average gain in weight of each adult patient was 9.9 pounds. Of this group 61 per cent. were apparently cured, 22 per cent, had their disease arrested, and 11 per cent. were much improved. Of the 65 children under care, 16 were consumptive, 18 were suspicious cases, and 27 were excellent candidates for the disease. Without exception every child gained in weight and in resistance to tuberculosis. An open air school and roof playground is provided for the children. The report would also indicate that the cost of treatment per patient compares favorably with that in the best sanatoria of the country. The experiment, however, has been one not only in the treatment of tuberculosis, but in the treatment of poverty and dependence. The results seem to show that the actual cost to the community in caring for families of this character is less at the Home Hospital, than if certain members of the family who have tuberculosis are sent to an institution and the remaining members of the family are cared for in homes, asylums or elsewhere. The total cost of the experiment for a year was $20,217.08, which is $8,229 less than the estimated yearly cost under ordinary present methods. The experiment, which was conceived by John A. Kingsbury, New York's new Commissioner of Charities, while he was director of the Association, will be conducted for at least two more years, in an effort to demonstrate finally the practicability of this method of treating poor families having one or more tuberculosis members. Commenting on its possibilities, Dr. Livingston Farrand, Executive Secretary of the National Association for Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, says, "It is a promising attack on the most baffling of the problems connected with tuberculosis and is likely to prove a contribution of the very highest importance." HEALTH NOTES It is a dirty community that has a visitation of flies and typhoid fever. The battle cry in the fight against disease is cleanliness. Clean things are safe. Dirty things are dangerous. In the fight against most if not all, of the ills of life, it is prevention, rather than cure, that counts the most. The people of a community are as safe as the community in which they live, is safe. This is only a suggestion. Think it over and see what you can get out of it. The house that is so situated and so constructed that it can only house and breed disease, should be torn down. Certainly it should not be used as a shelter for human beings. The Hookworm Commission of the North Carolina State Board of Health has accomplished some splendid results in the campaign it has been waging against this now well known disease. Up to January 1st of this year, 3,241,920 persons have been examined, 111,672 cows treated free of charge. All told since the systematic fight against hookworm was started, 164,145 cases have been treated and over 1,000 public lectures have been given throughout the state covering not only the hookworm but dealing with all phases of home and community sanitation. And these do not include the daily illustrated lectures given by Dr. Pridgen, who is at the head of the Commission, and his staff, which runs into many thousands, and including the distribution of nearly one million copies of illustrated pamphlets on hookworm and general sanitation. This is excellent health work and the kind that pays tremendous dividends on the money invested to carry it on. Air that is filled with dust particles is dangerous. Such air is often found in machine shops, metal polishing rooms, type foundries, brass works, in fact in all of the dust producing trades. In work places where protective devices are not used the workers soon show the ill effects of constantly inhaling the dust into the lungs and air passages. This is why in most of the States there are laws requiring that fans, shields and blowers be installed for the better protection of the health of the workers. Out of 24 industrial establishments recently visited in one of the eastern states it was found that in those places where the air was filled with dust the employees were pale and sickly in appearance and that without exception all complained of the irritating effects of the dust they were compelled to breathe. In shops where the conditions as to light, air and ventilation were good, the employees noticeably, were in good health, good natured and contented. Also it was found that these were turning out more work per person and of a better quality than were the employees in the shops where the conditions were bad. So from every standpoint, it pays to have good air, plenty of light and adequate ventilation in our work places. WOMEN WORE PRESENT STYLES 4,000 YEARS AGO. Recent archaeological discoveries in the island of Crete, which has just become the property of Greece as one of the fruits of the Balkan war, promise to cause a revision of history, according to the Rev. James Baikie in a communication to Gilbert H. Grosvenor, director of the National Geographic Society. According to Mr. Baikie the women of Crete were wearing present-day Parisian styles over 4,000 years ago, including big hats, high heeled shoes and tight laced corsets; they built houses and employed methods of sanitation which have been equaled by modern civilization only within the last fifty years. They invented the written word, although historians, until the present discoveries, have conferred this distinction on the Phoenicians, who did not appear in history until 1,000 years afterward. The Rev. Mr. Baikie goes so far in his communication as to state that Crete was probably the actual stage for events which have come to the present day in the shape of Greek legends. "It has been in Crete that exploration and discovery have led to the most striking illustration of many of the statements in the legends and traditions and have made it practically certain that much of what used to be considered mere romantic fable represents, with, of course, many embellishments of fancy, a good deal of historic fact," writes the Rev. Mr. Baikie. He tells of the discovery of the site of the great palace of Minos at Knossos, in the labyrinth of which roamed the bloodthirsty Minotaur. A description of the dress of the women of those times from the miniature frescoes found in the palace, is as follows: "If the dress of the male populace was simple, that of the female was the reverse. An elaborate tight-fitting bodice, cut excessively low at the neck, covered or affected to cover the upper part of the body, which is so wasp-waisted as to suggest universal tight lacing. From the broad belt hung down bell-shaped skirts, sometimes flounced throughout their entire length, sometimes richly embroidered. In some cases the shirt, below a small pannier or apron, is composed of different colored materials combined in a chequer pattern distantly resembling tartan. One fresco represents a curious and elaborate form of dress, consisting apparently of wide trousers of blue material dotted with red crosses on a light ground and most wonderfully frilled and vandyked."
