Harrison did not cover himself over with undying glory when he decided to select or appoint the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., one of the members of the censorship board which sits in August. Judgment on all motion or moving pictures and if the Colored people residing in this city would have been permitted to have any voice in the selection of a Colored man for that position they never would have chosen him and if they had had a chance to vote either for or against him he would not have received ten votes for the position from highly respectable and decent Colored people; the only Colored people who would have voted for him would have been that servile and cringing class of Colored people who are perfectly willing to feast on the crumbs which may happen to fall from his table, who are ever ready and willing to tag after his heels in the hope that some of the money which the taxpayers are putting up to maintain him and his family may fall into their pockets. There is one other eminent citizen we don't think—who would have voted for him and that is the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, secretary of the Illinois state commission who has the distinguished honor of having three indictments hanging over his dishonest head in the criminal court of Cook county. It will be recalled that several years ago that the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., was a delegate to the Sunday school reunion or conference which was held at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that he permitted the wet holy ghost from on high to urge him to drink—so much of some kind of fighting water, which forced him to become weak or wabbly in the legs or knees which caused him to lose his hat and which continued to work on him until he was willing to attempt to walk around or about the streets of the city of lager beer perfectly hatless and to otherwise conduct himself in such a reprehensible and unmanage- HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY able manner, which was a burning and everlasting disgrace to his so-called high calling, the taint of which will continue to cling to him to the end of time. It may not be so or true but it is maintained that the Hon. James A. Quinn, the able and very brilliant city oil inspector highly recommended the tricky political pastor of the Institutional church for that position. William L. Sledge, a Colored detective, who holds forth at the Y. M. C. A., who seemingly feels highly honored to be permitted to tag after the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the political tramp, the Honorable Thomas Wallace Swann, called on Mr. Quinn so it is said, wanting him to use his influence with Mayor Harrison in favor of his selection for that position. Mr. Sledge, so they say, was requested by Mr. Quinn to call on the great dishonored headlight of the Institutional church with the sole object of securing his endorsement or O. K. at the same time informing him what he wanted or was seeking at the hands of Mr. Quinn, and the unreverend gentleman who boasts of the fact that he has more White royal blood than Colored blood coursing through his veins, informed Mr. Sledge that he would not endorse him for that position, loudly declaring that "inasmuch as his daughter is on the payroll as assistant secretary of the Illinois tate commission, drawing down seventy-five dollars per month and practically doing nothing to earn it and inasmuch as he is one of the state commissioners—head of the transportation committee and was pulling in easy money from the state right and left every time he turned around, that he wanted that extra job himself; that from henceforth he is heartily in favor of changing his name to Rev. Hogall Carey." For our part we are in favor of making it possible to enable the Rev. Honorable Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and all the members of his family to feed at the public PHOTO BY MOFFETT STUDIO MAYOR CARTER H. HARRISON The "Man of Destiny" Who Against and a Delegation of Colored Citiz J.

In this connection it might not be out of place to state that Mr. Quinn and Rev. Carey, have been fast friends for some time, that several years ago the politician-preacher celebrated his 20 years of ministry at the Institutional church; that Mr. Quinn was present on that occasion and delivered by far the best and the most eloquent speech that he has so far ever unbosomed himself of, that he chucked $20 in real money into the jack pot, $1.00 for each year, that the recipient of it had made a failure of holding the banner of the cross aloft, unsoiled and unstained in any manner, shape or form. REV. FATHER MAURICE J. DORNEY FOR MANY YEARS PASTOR AND FOUNDER OF ST. GABRIEL'S CHURCH, LAID TO REST IN MT. OLIVET CEMETERY WEDNESDAY. Wednesday, which was St. Gabriel's Day, funeral services of the most impressive kind, were held over the remains of Rev. Father Maurice J. Dorney, who was the founder in 1880, of St. Gabriel's Church, and St. Gabriel's Parochial School and was its faithful pastor from that time until his death. It was the most notable funeral ever held in Chicago. Millionaires, bankers, prominent business men, captains of industry, politicians, Democrats and Republicans, state, county and city officials, judges of the various courts, and people in all walks of life, attended his funeral services. The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann, had the honor of presenting the jack pot money to Rev. Carey, which amounted to $65, and in the presence of highly educated White and Colored people, Mr. Swann blurted out, in the most ignorant and arrogant manner, as follows: "Here Rev. Carey, take this bag of money, for I know you want it, for it will buy some pork chops for you and your family." The Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D., informed the writer himself while at Springfield last June, that Mr. Swann, had beat him out of more than $100, at one clip, that he had greatly humiliated him on many occasions and most especially, when he presented the $65 in jack pot money to him. In conclusion. Thomas J. Hunter, who was one of the trustees of Quinn chapel some years ago, and Tom M. Johnson, could if they would relate some interesting narratives, in relation to the unministerial conduct on the part of the Rev. Hon. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph. D. D. D.

REV. FATHER MAURICE J. DORNEY FOR MANY YEARS PASTOR AND FOUNDER OF ST. GABRIEL'S CHURCH, LAID TO REST IN MT. OLIVET CEMETERY WEDNESDAY. Wednesday, which was St. Gabriel's Day, funeral services of the most imp- ressive kind, were held over the re- mains of Rev. Father Maurice J. Dorney, who was the founder in 1880, of St. Gabriel's Church, and St. Gabri- el's Parochial School and was its faithful pastor from that time until his death. It was the most notable funeral ever held in Chicago. Millionaires, bankers, prominent business men, captains of industry, politicians, Democrats and Republicans, state, county and city officials, judges of the various courts, and people in all walks of life, attended his funeral services. All the business places in the Stock Yards district closed their doors during the progress of the funeral and the machinery in the great Stock Yards packing plants, came to a dead stand still, for five minutes to honor his memory; something which had not happened before since the death of President William McKinley. Not less than 5,000 to 7,000 people thronged the streets around St. Gabriel's Church, where the funeral services were held. Archbishop Quigley, as celebrant, conducted the mass. Father Thomas O'Gara, deacon; Father James Powers, sub-deacon; Father James Scanlan Archpriest and Father Edward A. Kelly, Archdeacon. Bishop P. J. Muldon, of Rockford, Ill., life long friend of Father Dorney, delivered the funeral sermon. Three hundred priests from this city and the surrounding cities and towns, clad in their scarlet robes, were in evidence around the altar. A choir of male voices, robed in white, chanted "Gregorian" music in the gallery in the rear of the church. The whole funeral services were solemn and very impressive. The funeral procession was over seven blocks long, four automobiles abreast. The remains of Father Dorney, who was the friend of all humanity, regardless of race, creed or nationality, were laid to rest in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, but his many kind acts, and his sweet sunny disposition, will never become Judge Thomas F.

HE IS THE RIGHT JUDGE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND CHIEF JUSTICE HARRY OLSON MADE NO MISTAKE IN PLACING HIM AT THE HEAD OF THE MINORS COURT. On Wednesday morning, Judge Thomas F. Scully opened his boys' or minors' court in room 906, City Hall and in one sense of the word it was a history making day for it is said that there is not another court like it in the world and it will be his duty to sit in solemn judgment on the cases of all boys brought before him, between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one years. Before attempting to enter upon his judicial duties Judge Scully spoke in part as follows and outlined the policy, which he will adhere to while conducting the affairs of his court. "It is my firm belief and I know it is the belief of a great number of thinking men and women, that this court, the mission of which is not to punish he young, growing man, but to save him from himself and for society, is the most momentous step taken within the law for some hundreds of years. We have seen the helping hand extended reluctantly at first, but ultimately at least, to the erring girl, and yet her young brother—the young brother of us all—a cherished son perhaps, has been permitted to go without a word of sympathy, without a word of aid, uncaused for, unknown, into the degradation of the prison or into the degradation of the slum without a voice being raised either in protest or encouragement. Pledges Aid to Boys. "I pledge myself as judge of this court, to use every little latent ability I have for the service of the state; for the service of the community; for the well being and health of those who are brought before me and to exercise all my sympathy and all the love I bear for these young boys—for the protection of your brother and mine." Chief Justice Harry Olson, of the municipal court in his most pleasing manner introduced Judge Scully and in doing so he paid a high tribute to his ability and worth, declaring that he ranks among the best and most humane judges anywhere; that his breast is filled full of the milk of human kindness for those who are less fortunate than himself, and especially for young boys.

Some of the many admiring friends of Judge Scully presented him with a whole wagon load of American beauty roses, palms, potted plants and other choice cut flowers. The numerous flowers were banked on the lawyers' table and high up around the judge's bench or platform. The other decorations for the honored occasion consisted of American flags which could be beheld in every direction. Maurice Klein, Chas. L. Keller and Joseph Cohen, the committee representing the "Big Brother" of the Elks, presented Judge Scully with a very beautiful richly engraved, silver golden-lined loving cup, which was also filled with fragrant roses. To each of his friends, Judge Scully, presented them with a flower, including many ladies, who were present, during the day and in the evening the remainder of them and the beautiful loving cup were transferred to his home, 1107 S. Ashland avenue. He also presented the writer with a beautiful bunch of American beauty roses for Mrs. Taylor.

COLOR LINE PERSECUTION—AGED COLORED COUPLE PUT IN JAIL BECAUSE THEY KEPT A NURSERY FOR COLORED CHILDREN FINED, RELEASED AND THEN PUT IN JAIL. The most shameful persecution of Chicago Colored people in recent times is the vindication arrest, fine and imprisonment of Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge, two well known good Christian people, whose only crime is that they furnish a home and give care to Colored children under three years old. Few other homes open their doors to Colored babies, and most of them are only temporary. Mrs. Eldridge is kind, motherly and able to care for the twelve children which she boards, and Mr. Eldridge helps his good wife. They charge so reasonable that poor mothers can pay board and then work out at service to pay the bills. Mr. and Mrs. John S. Eldridge kept their little home in Chicago two or three years, but they concluded to go into the suburbs so that the babies could have more room, plenty of play ground and fresh air. So they bought a modest Cottage and moved out to 11154 3rd Street, in Morgan Park, and took their little children with them. Then trouble began. The White people at once protested and the day after they were settled, Morgan Park officers visited the house and told them they would not be allowed to stay and keep the children there. Receiving legal advice Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge said they would not move. Next came the officers and charged them with having unsanitary plumbing and ordered improvements. Mr. Eldridge made the improvements. Next they ordered asphalt basement and immediately Mr. Eldridge ordered sand and cement. Next the officers threatened to arrest Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge under the Hospitable ordinance. A conference between the Morgan Park Officers and Lawyers, F. L. Barnett and Jerry Brumfield, resulted in dismissal of the charge. But the officers were not satisfied so they ordered all dependent children out of the Home, or they would close the home in 48 hours. Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge sent away the few dependent children. As the Morgan Park authorities had failed by all previous efforts, they determined to pass a new law punishing a person for caring for babies. So they passed an ordinance, intended to reach Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge, but fearing that it failed passed an amendment which required Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge to obtain the consent of property owners in the block. Of course they could not do that and the persecution began. Mr. Eldridge was arrested Monday last week for violating the ordinance in failing to obtain the signatures of owners in the block. He was tried before Police Magistrate Neff, found guilty and fined forty dollars. Lawyer F. L. Barnett defended him and took an appeal. Mr. Eldridge was compelled to pay $14.50 for appeal bond to keep from spending Sunday in jail. Still the persecution was kept up and on Tuesday, the good old people were arrested again and put in jail. Mr. L. O. Baler, who has stood by them through thick and thin, signed the bonds for them by nightfall and they were released until Saturday, March 21st, at 3 P. M., when the case will be called again. Such is the kind of prescription and persecution that come to these two Colored people because they want to care for the little Colored children that no one else will help. They are truly giving their lives for the children and their reward is persecution, poverty and imprisonment. If the Colored people of Chicago will stand idly by and let this be done without protest, persecution in Chicago will soon be as bad here as in Mississippi-"J'L' - ```markdown ``` HYDE PARK NEWS Who wields the pencil big and blue And does the best that he can do?

Mr. George P.

Very few of our people know that the printers, embossers and engravers of the Windemere Hotel is done by young men of the race; in the persons of James H. Walker and John T.

On Monday morning, while the writer was in the act of stepping on an elevator in the City hall, headed for the council committee rooms, a Colored man came rushing up to us all out of breath and wanting to know if we had heard that editor R. S. Abbott was dead. We informed him that we had not heard that alleged fact. Then we asked him if there was any crape hanging on the door. The Colored man said no, that they did not need any crape, as they had slipped his body out of town late on Sunday evening. Then we jumped from the elevator and rushed to the telephone to find out for ourselves whether editor Abbott was really dead or alive, as we did not want him to put one over on us in that respect with our eyes wide open. Mrs. Lee answered the phone and informed us that Editor Abbott was still in the land of the living and was much improved. On our way home that evening we called on him to congratulate him on his narrow escape from death, as it had already been reported around the City hall, that he had cashed in and joined the heavenly host. Editor Abbott's many friends are glad to learn that he is on the road to recovery and will soon be feeling as well as ever.

Archi- NEW ACTIVITIES ARE SPRING-ING UP AMONG THE AFRO-AMERICAN WOMEN SINCE THEY ARE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. With the granting of the franchise to the women of the State of Illinois has come an independent wave of thought and action in many activities where, heretofore, women were wont to follow the lead of mere man. Their awakening in the political, intellectual and civic life of our city has been marked by the presence of many intelligent women of the Negro race. Chicago gave birth to this movement in the form of a Citizen's Committee which has been meeting for several weeks under the direction of Mrs. Eva Jenifer who is the mother and sole originator of the Chicago plan. She is a woman of national fame on account of her intellectual ability, Christian piety and business integrity which has placed her in the front rank of our wealthy Negro women. Associated with Mrs. Jenifer are Mrs. Bertha Cook, wife of the distinguished presiding elder, Rev. W. D. Cook, Mrs. Annie Callis, wife of the eloquent pastor of Zion church, Mrs. Albreta Moore—Smith, who is an acknowledged authority on child welfare problems and whose connection with the Chicago Juvenile court the past nine years gives her the necessary experience for this work, Mrs. George C. Hall, wife of our renowned physician and surgeon and president of the Y. M. C. A., and Mrs. Fannie Emanuel, whose philanthropy and charity for the unfortunates of her own race is well-known throughout the city on account of the excellent work she did several years ago when she maintained a settlement in the heart of the Black belt. This committee of women are now inviting other earnest women to co-operate with them from all of the churches, clubs, etc., in the city. Saturday, March 21st, at 2:30 P. M., a meeting for women will be held at Douglass Center at which time and place the plans of the Association will be made public. The first week in April a large meeting will be held in one of our churches to which the general public will be invited. All women desiring to co-operate will kindly send their names to the secretary, Mrs. Annie Callis. 'G' NEGRO-HATERS BUSY. It is inconceivable that Congressmen should openly contend for discrimination on account of race and color, in view of the plain provisions of the Constitution of the United States, which prohibit such discrimination. Congressman James R. Atwell of Louisiana and Congressman Charles C. Edwards of Georgia appeared before the House committee on reform in the civil service recently in support of segregation bills offered by themselves. Mr. Atwell declared that out of 490,000 Federal employees, 22,500 are Colored. This shows that but a little over four per cent of the employees of the United States are Colored people and yet an effort is being made to reduce this number. It seemed strange, too, that these gentlemen should have used such ridiculous arguments, when they asserted that members of Congress would not care to sit with Colored colleagues. As a matter of fact, if they are from the Southland and are "worth their salt," they all have sat with Colored people. They do not ride in a buggy without having a Colored driver at their side. They do not sit in a nursery with their own children without a Colored female at their side. They do not dress for an evening's entertainment without a Colored valet to serve them and they do not take their morning "toddies" without a Colored butler to prepare the seductive concoctions. When these hypocritical Negro-haters talk, it makes a thoroughbred Colored Southerner tired and disgusted. If these Congressmen cannot find any way o benefit their constituents, a large proportion of whom are Colored folks, they should "go way back and sit down." Archibald H. Grimke, that veteran race defender was on hand and actually "riddled" the pernicious argument of these Negro-haters. Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois based his opposition upon a legal basis and won high favor. Mr. Grimke's concluding remarks may well be adopted by every Colored leader in this country. He said: "Give the Colored man a chance. If he can rise, let him get up. If he cannot rise, let him sink. The Colored people are not going to be your equals, if God did not make them so. The laws of nature settles that." Who is it that cannot subscribe to those utterances? The Colored people of the United States rest their case upon that plea and await the sober judgment of the American people. The Planet, Richmond, Va., March 14, 1914. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 16—Continuing the series of business talks by representative Negro business men, Mr. John Merrick, President of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company, of Durham, North Carolina, spoke in the Chapel of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, last Sunday evening before all the students of the school, the teachers, visitors and others from the surrounding communities. On Monday evening, March 2, he again spoke in the Assembly Room of the Academic Building to the young men and women of the Senior and A Middle Classes. The story of Mr. Merrick's business success reads almost like a romance. During his youth he was, successively, a brickyard employee, a bootblack, and a barber; this latter business he followed for some twenty years or more. His present distinction, however, rests upon the organization of what is known as the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, a life insurance concern which does business in three states, namely, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; employs nearly 600 agents and helpers of various kinds, and keeps busy an office force of 30 persons. The first year the company was in business, it collected $840; last year (1913), it proudly boasts that its collections amounted to $360,000. More than 100,000 persons are insured by the company, most of them holding what are known as industrial policies. Mr. Merrick paid a warm tribute to the capability of his company's General Manager, Mr. C. C. Spaulding, and to the Medical Director, Dr. A. M. Moore, who, with himself, constitute the trinity of persons that laid the foundation and that now conducts what Mr. Merrick delights to denominate "the largest Negro insurance company in the world." Many helpful and instructive things were said to our young men by Mr. Merrick. During his stay here he received every courtesy possible at the hands of the officers and teachers of the institution. Mr. Merrick, along with Mr. Spaulding, had charge of Principal Washington's tour through the State of North Carolina in 1910, and has always been a warm and cordial supporter of Principal Washington in all of his multifarious activities.

COLOR LINE PERSECUTION—AGED COLORED COUPLE PUT IN JAIL, BECAUSE THEY KEPT A NURSERY FOR COLORED CHILDREN, FINED, RELEASED AND THEN PUT IN JAIL. The most shameful persecution of Chicago Colored people in recent times is the vindication arrest, fine and imprisonment of Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge, two well known good Christian people, whose only crime is that they furnish a home and give care to Colored children under three years old. Few other homes open their doors to Colored babies, and most of them are only temporary. Mrs. Eldridge is kind, motherly and able to care for the twelve children which she boards, and Mr. Eldridge helps his good wife. They charge so reasonable that poor mothers can pay board and then work out at service to pay the bills. Mr. and Mrs. John S. Eldridge kept their little home in Chicago two or three years, but they concluded to go into the suburbs so that the babies could have more room, plenty of play ground and fresh air. So they bought a modest Cottage and moved out to 11154 3rd Street, in Morgan Park, and took their little children with them. Then trouble began. The White people at once protested and the day after they were settled, Morgan Park officers visited the house and told them they would not be allowed to stay and keep the children there. Receiving legal advice Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge said they would not move. Next came the officers and charged them with having unsanitary plumbing and ordered improvements. Mr. Eldridge made the improvements. Next they ordered asphalt basement and immediately Mr. Eldridge ordered sand and cement. Next the officers threatened to arrest Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge under the Hospitable ordinance. A conference between the Morgan Park Officers and Lawyers, F. L. Barnett and Jerry Brumfield, resulted in dismissal of the charge. But the officers were not satisfied so they ordered all dependent children out of the Home, or they would close the home in 48 hours. Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge sent away the few dependent children. As the Morgan Park authorities had failed by all previous efforts, they determined to pass a new law punishing a person for caring for babies. So they passed an ordinance, intended to reach Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge, but fearing that it failed passed an amendment which required Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge to obtain the consent of property owners in the block. Of course they could not do that and the persecution began. Mr. Eldridge was arrested Monday last week for violating the ordinance in failing to obtain the signatures of owners in the block. He was tried before Police Magistrate Neff, found guilty and fined forty dollars. Lawyer F. L. Barnett defended him and took an appeal. Mr. Eldridge was compelled to pay $14.50 for appeal bond to keep from spending Sunday in jail. Still the persecution was kept up and on Tuesday, the good old people were arrested again and put in jail. Mr. L. O. Baler, who has stood by them through thick and thin, signed the bonds for them by nightfall and they were released until Saturday, March 21st, at 3 P. M., when the case will be called again. Such is the kind of prescription and persecution that come to these two Colored people because they want to care for the little Colored children that no one else will help. They are truly giving their lives for the children and their reward is persecution, poverty and imprisonment. If the Colored people of Chicago will stand idly by and let this be done without protest, persecution in Chicago will soon be as bad here as in Mississippi.—"L".

As a race, we all should feel grateful to our big hearted friend and benefactor, proprietor of the Windemere Hotel, for more than once has he taken our young men from the depths, set them upon their feet again and made them fit subjects for the race, of life, Mr. Joseph Defrees. Mr. George P. Good, the capable and experienced head-waiter who has successfully acted in this capacity, in New York City, Florida, Penn., the City of New Orleans, and in New-Mexico, is now in charge of the dining department, head waiter, at the Windemere. He thinks well of "The Broad Ax." Mr. Harry Thompson, has given creditable service to this hotel, being in its employ for 15 years. Very few of our people know that the printers, embossers and engravers of the Windemere Hotel is done by young men of the race; in the persons of James H. Walker and John T. Stigall, they have complete charge of this department, having creditably held this position for five or six years. Oh! the good we all may do while the days are going bye. The legal training, as well as his dining room experience has made Mr. J. B. Stokes a man much sought after by hotelmen, he is one of the staunch supporters of Mr. Good.

On Monday morning, while the writer was in the act of stepping on an elevator in the City hall, headed for the council committee rooms, a Colored man came rushing up to us all out of breath and wanting to know if we had heard that editor R. S. Abbott was dead. We informed him that we had not heard that alleged fact. Then we asked him if there was any crape hanging on the door. The Colored man said no, that they did not need any crape, as they had slipped his body out of town late on Sunday evening. Then we jumped from the elevator and rushed to the telephone to find out for ourselves whether editor Abbott was really dead or alive, as we did not want him to put one on over on us in that respect with our eyes wide open. Mrs. Lee answered the phone and informed us that Editor Abbott was still in the land of the living and was much improved. On our way home that evening we called on him to congratulate him on his narrow escape from death, as it had already been reported around the City hall, that he had cashed in and joined the heavenly host. Editor Abbott's many friends are glad to learn that he is on the road to recovery and will soon be feeling as well as ever.

Archi- NEW ACTIVITIES ARE SPRING-ING UP AMONG THE AFRO-AMERICAN WOMEN SINCE THEY ARE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. With the granting of the franchise to the women of the State of Illinois has come an independent wave of thought and action in many activities where, heretofore, women were wont to follow the lead of mere man. Their awakening in the political, intellectual and civic life of our city has been marked by the presence of many intelligent women of the Negro race. Now, we note with pride, that our women are determined to have a Young Women's Christian Association Home which will protect and promote the moral and spiritual growth of the hundreds of Negro girls and women who stand in need of this influence in order to save them from the grasp of the white slaver and dens of iniquity of this great city. They do not get this protection in the White Y. M. C. A., because they are not admitted to the Home. Is it not then time that the women of our own race "mother" the girls who are in need of this interest? Chicago gave birth to this movement in the form of a Citizen's Committee which has been meeting for several weeks under the direction of Mrs. Eva Jenifer who is the mother and sole originator of the Chicago plan. She is a woman of national fame on account of her intellectual ability, Christian piety and business integrity which has placed her in the front rank of our wealthy Negro women. Associated with Mrs. Jenifer are Mrs. Bertha Cook, wife of the distinguished presiding elder, Rev. W. D. Cook, Mrs. Annie Callis, wife of the eloquent pastor of Zion church, Mrs. Albreta Moore—Smith, who is an acknowledged authority on child welfare problems and whose connection with the Chicago Juvenile court the past nine years gives her the necessary experience for this work, Mrs. George C. Hall, wife of our renowned physician and surgeon and president of the Y. M. C. A., and Mrs. Fannie Emanuel, whose philanthropy and charity for the unfortunates of her own race is well-known throughout the city on account of the excellent work she did several years ago when she maintained a settlement in the heart of the Black belt. This committee of women are now inviting other earnest women to co-operate with them from all of the churches, clubs, etc., in the city. Saturday, March 21st, at 2:30 P. M., a meeting for women will be held at Douglass Center at which time and place the plans of the Association will be made public. The first week in April a large meeting will be held in one of our churches to which the general public will be invited. All women desiring to co-operate will kindly send their names to the secretary, Mrs. Annie Callis. $^{4}$ C''. NEGRO-HATERS BUSY. It is inconceivable that Congressmen should openly contend for discrimination on account of race and color, in view of the plain provisions of the Constitution of the United States, which prohibit such discrimination. Congressman James R. Atwell of Louisiana and Congressman Charles C. Edwards of Georgia appeared before the House committee on reform in the civil service recently in support of segregation bills offered by themselves. Mr. Atwell declared that out of 490,000 Federal employees, 22,500 are Colored. This shows that but a little over four per cent of the employees of the United States are Colored people and yet an effort is being made to reduce this number. It seemed strange, too, that these gentlemen should have used such ridiculous arguments, when they asserted that members of Congress would not care to sit with Colored colleagues. As a matter of fact, if they are from the Southland and are "worth their salt," they all have sat with Colored people. They do not ride in a buggy without having a Colored driver at their side. They do not sit in a nursery with their own children without a Colored female at their side. They do not dress for an evening's entertainment without a Colored valet to serve them and they do not take their morning "toddies" without a Colored butler to prepare the seductive concoctions. When these hypocritical Negro-haters talk, it makes a thoroughbred Colored Southerner tired and disgusted. If these Congressmen cannot find any way to benefit their constituents, a large proportion of whom are Colored folks, they should "go way back and sit down." Archibald H. Grimke, that veteran race defender was on hand and actually "riddled" the pernicious argument of these Negro-haters. Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois based his opposition upon a legal basis and won high favor. Mr. Grimke's concluding remarks may well be adopted by every Colored leader in this country. He said: "Give the Colored man a chance. If he can rise, let him get up. If he cannot rise, let him sink. The Colored people are not going to be your equals, if God did not make them so. The laws of nature settles that." Who is it that cannot subscribe to those utterances? The Colored people of the United States rest their case upon that plea and await the sober judgment of the American people. The Planet, Richmond, Va., March 14, 1914.

Much Needed Institution at Hampton Has Ample Modern Equipment. This Ample Modern Equipment Hampton, Va.-The new Dixie, hospital connected with the Hampton institute in this town was recently completed at a cost of over $70,000. The building fund donation list shows that Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute was able to secure the hearty co-operation of the people of lower Virginia and of many others throughout the country. The hospital with its excellent equipment will minister to the needs of both white and colored people living in Hampton and the neighboring communities. Dr. Howe says in his report; "The new building is pleasantly situated on the shore of Hampton creek amid trees which add much to its attractiveness and comfort, and is very accessible, being on the car line, but far enough removed to insure privacy. There are four wards of ten beds each and two overflow wards, which have been finished off in the third story, to be used when necessary. There are fourteen private rooms, a diet kitchen for them and one for the wards on each floor; a finely equipped operating room, with sterilizing and dressing rooms for physicians and nurses adjoining; the necessary administration offices, dining rooms for staff and for nurses, kitchen and serving rooms, and over these, separated from the hospital by a brick wall, are twenty rooms for nurses. "Both building and equipment equal if they do not surpass any hospital in the state and give opportunity for a far wider scope of usefulness in the future. The Dixie is the only public hospital on the peninsula, and many cases come to it from Cape Charles, Williamsburg and the surrounding country. These as well as the immediate community will reap the benefits of its increased facilities. The new nurses' home will enable the training school to enlarge its number and to add to the efficiency of its graduates. "About $9,000 must still be raised to complete the payment for building and equipment. The report of the building fund shows that about $68,000 has already been given, but extras over the contract price and the cost of grading and equipment are large, and of the meager furnishings of the old Dixie little was worth transferring to the new. In looking forward to a large future the accomplishments of the past year must not be forgotten. Nearly $50 patients have been cared for, and the medical and surgical reports show with what excellent results. There have been twenty-four nurses in training. They have come largely from Virginia, but various parts of the south and west are represented, and among the number are two Indian girls. "The nurses recently had an opportunity to prove themselves in an emergency when the laundry, a frame building closely adjoining the nurses' home, was destroyed by fire. It was well after midnight when the fire was discovered, and it had gained such headway that the other buildings were in danger. Undoubtedly the fames would have spread to them had not the nurses formed a bucket brigade and kept walls and roofs wet until the Hampton fire department arrived. While they were unable to save the laundry, their prompt assistance prevented more serious damage." If the proposed music trust becomes a reality stockholders may have to fork over the high notes.

In an address to a large gathering of farmers at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute recently Dr. Booker T. Washington in part said: "Time and money spent every year by farmers coming here in large numbers will be thrown away unless each one is determined to get something out of this farmers' conference that he can take home and put into practice himself. If each one will do that these meetings from year to year will be worth while. "Many of us here in the south fall to realize as farmers the value of time. We are continually talking about the saving of money, but time is just as valuable as money. "In not a few sections of the south are people throwing away the days of December, January and February, but they are just as valuable as the days in March and April. In every one of these months something can be done on the farm. Ditches can be put in order, fences repaired, stables and outhouses improved, the land turned over by deep plowing, root and grain crops cultivated, seed corn selected, tools repaired and the dwelling house improved. "To be perfectly plain, too large a proportion of our race spend the winter months waiting until the 1st of March, when they expect some white man to begin making 'advances' to them. We have now been free fifty years, and I know that throughout the south the white man—and the colored man, too—is getting tired of carrying so many Negro farmers on his back year by year through the system of 'advances.' We ought to be able to help ourselves more, to carry ourselves, to provide enough grain, meat, vegetables and other food to carry us from year to year without having to go in debt to buy what ought to be produced on the farm. "County or community can only grow wealthy as it has a large number of individual producers. If a man has only what he can buy at a store he does not increase the wealth of the community. Now, after fifty years, let us be free. If the colored farmers will make up their minds to work every month in the year, teach their wives and children to be continually producing something in the way of vegetables, poultry, milk and butter, while the husband is doing his part in raising something to sustain the family, it will not be necessary for them to get 'advances' from anybody. Give your wives and children a chance in the house. At present you make them help you in the fields, so that they have no chance to plan meals, to raise vegetables or to can fruit. Give them a chance and they will make and save as much as you do. "White people throughout the south are beginning to see that the kind of farmer who brings prosperity to the county is the one who produces more than he consumes, owns a little piece of land and has some money in the bank. This kind of man becomes an asset instead of a liability to the county in which he lives. When this kind of man drives into town on Saturday the merchant, the banker and everybody else welcomes him, because he brings into town more than he takes out. "Cultivate a little land well and see that your house is fit to live in and that your wives and children have a chance to work in the house instead of in the field. Instead of investing a little extra money in more land, put it into your house, build a bathroom and make the home in every way attractive to your children. There is no set of black people anywhere in the world who are permitted to occupy such a rich, genial and beautiful section of the country as we are. Let us make up our minds that we are each going to do our part to develop the farms, the gardens, the orchards, the stock, the poultry, the fruit, the vegetables, and have the best of everything, including houses. "In proportion as we do this there will be less effort to replace us by another class of farmers. No matter what anybody says to the contrary, the average southern white man likes the Negro, likes to have him near him. In the great, big fundamental things of life he is ready to encourage him, to help him and to protect him. Any people who can change from the type who used to come here at the beginning of these conferences to the good looking, intelligent men and women who are here today is a great people."

THE NEW DIXIE HOSPITAL Much Needed Institution at Hampton Has Ample Modern Equipment, Has Amplis Modern Equipment Hampton, Va.—The new Dixie, hospital connected with the Hampton institute in this town was recently completed at a cost of over $70,000. The building fund donation list shows that Dr. Albert Howe of the Hampton institute was able to secure the hearty co-operation of the people of lower Virginia and of many others throughout the country. The hospital with its excellent equipment will minister to the needs of both white and colored people living in Hampton and the neighboring communities. Dr. Howe says in his report: "The new building is pleasantly situated on the shore of Hampton creek amid trees which add much to its attractiveness and comfort, and is very accessible, being on the car line, but far enough removed to insure privacy. There are four wards of ten beds each and two overflow wards, which have been finished off in the third story, to be used when necessary. There are fourteen private rooms, a diet kitchen for them and one for the wards on each floor; a finely equipped operating room, with sterilizing and dressing rooms for physicians and nurses adjoining; the necessary administration offices, dining rooms for staff and for nurses, kitchen and serving rooms, and over these, separated from the hospital by a brick wall, are twenty rooms for nurses. "Both building and equipment equal if they do not surpass any hospital in the state and give opportunity for a far wider scope of usefulness in the future. The Dixie is the only public hospital on the peninsula, and many cases come to it from Cape Charles, Williamsburg and the surrounding country. These as well as the immediate community will reap the benefits of its increased facilities. The new nurses' home will enable the training school to enlarge its number and to add to the efficiency of its graduates. "About $9,000 must still be raised to complete the payment for building and equipment. The report of the building fund shows that, about $83,000 has already been given, but extras over the contract price and the cost of grading and equipment are large, and of the meager furnishings of the old Dixie little was worth transferring to the new. In looking forward to a large future the accomplishments of the past year must not be forgotten. Nearly $50 patients have been cared for, and the medical and surgical reports show with what excellent results. There have been twenty-four nurses in training. They have come largely from Virginia, but various parts of the south and west are represented, and among the number are two Indian girls. "The nurses recently had an opportunity to prove themselves in an emergency when the laundry, a frame building closely adjoining the nurses' home, was destroyed by fire. It was well after midnight when the fire was discovered, and it had gained such headway that the other buildings were in danger. Undoubtedly the fames would have spread to them had not the nurses formed a bucket brigade and kept walls and roofs wet until the Hampton fire department arrived. While they were unable to save the laundry, their prompt assistance prevented more serious damage." If the proposed music trust becomes a reality stockholders may have to fork over the high notes. As babies can no longer be sent by parcel post some people will wonder what they are going to do with them. This would be a happy world if people would always wear the smile they do when they have their picture taken. Footprints on the sands of time are all very well, but most people prefer to leave tracks made by automobile tires. Japan is becoming noted for the amount of listening it can do without in the slightest degree changing its mind. According to all that can be ascertained regarding his legal status, a Hindu is a British subject without a country. GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS. Booker T. Washington Points Out Defects and Offers Remedy. In an address to a large gathering of farmers at the Tuskegree (Ala.) institute recently Dr. Booker T. Washington in part said: "Time and money spent every year by farmers coming here in large numbers will be thrown away unless each one is determined to get something out of this farmers' conference that he can take home and put into practice himself. If each one will do that these meetings from year to year will be worth while. "Many of us here in the south fall to realize as farmers the value of time. We are continually talking about the saving of money, but time is just as valuable as money. "In not a few sections of the south are people throwing away the days of December, January and February, but they are just as valuable as the days in March and April. In every one of these months something can be done on the farm. Ditches can be put in order, fences repaired, stables and outhouses improved, the land turned over by deep plowing, root and grain crops cultivated, seed corn selected, tools repaired and the dwelling house improved. "To be perfectly plain, too large a proportion of our race spend the winter months waiting until the 1st of March, when they expect some white man to begin making 'advances' to them. We have now been free fifty years, and I know that throughout the south the white man—and the colored man, too—is getting tired of carrying so many Negro farmers on his back year by year through the system of 'advances'. We ought to be able to help ourselves more, to carry ourselves, to provide enough grain, meat, vegetables and other food to carry us from year to year without having to go in debt to buy what ought to be produced on the farm. "County or community can only grow wealthy as it has a large number of individual producers. If a man has only what he can buy at a store he does not increase the wealth of the community. Now, after fifty years, let us be free. If the colored farmers will make up their minds to work every month in the year, teach their wives and children to be continually producing something in the way of vegetables, poultry, milk and butter, while the husband is doing his part in raising something to sustain the family, it will not be necessary for them to get 'advances' from anybody.

No matter what anybody says to the contrary, the average southern white man likes the Negro, likes to have him near him.
