Charles Boeschenstein, are all firmly of the opinion that he will make a home run and land the nomination with both hands down. TOO MUCH FOR SOUTH CAROLINA The defeat at the South Carolina primaries of Cole Blease for senator will do not a little to raise the credit of that commonwealth in affairs political. The benighted and incendiary mouthings of Blease were a disgrace to South Carolina, to its Democracy, and to the politics of the south generally. That such a man should be selected to represent a great state in the highest legislative body of the American republic M. HON. JOHN E. OWENS The popular and honorable Judge of the County Court who has many warm friends among the Afro-Americans throughout Cook County, who will assist him with their votes and every other way to win his re-nomination for his present judicial position at the primaries Wednesday, September 9th.

Hall, the Hon. Charles Boeschenstein, are all firmly of the run and land the nomination with both would have sent a flush of hot shame through every self-respecting American. South Carolina has done well, though hardly less than should be required of any American community. Southern politics is even worse than nothern, for historic political and social reasons, but we may hope confidently that it is going forward. Blease has been repudiated. Vardaman should come next.—The Chicago Tribune, Thursday, August 27, 1914.

MAYOR CARTER H. HARRISON WILL NOT TURN HIS PERSONAL MUD BATTERIES AGAINST HON. ROGER C. SULLIVAN. Mayor Carter H. Harrison returned home Monday morning from his eastern trip looking as fresh and as trim as a New York millionaire alderman ready to plunge into the political contest, which is being waged between Congressman Lawrence B. Stringer and Hon. Roger C. Sullivan for the nomination for United States Senator from Illinois. A few evenings ago Mayor Harrison addressed a great meeting in the 22nd ward in the interest of Mr. Stringer; and during his talk he declared that Mr. Stringer had urged him not to turn his personal mud batteries against Mr. Sullivan, that he desired a dignified campaign conducted in his behalf and the Mayor further stated: "That did not satisfy me and it does not satisfy me, but I am not going to be the only one to take the stump here and go after Mr. Sullivan as I would like to, thereby laying myself open to the charge that it was a personal antipathy and bitterness on my part, rather than a principle, when the man we have indorsed for the senatorship was not willing to follow me. "Accordingly, my friends, I will not indulge in personalities nor will I try to be acrimonious in what I may say." Congressman Stringer has proven himself to be a gentleman of the first water in urging upon his friends and followers to refrain from doing any personal mud slinging. Mayor Harrison, let it be known that inasmuch as the newspapers, Republican, Democratic and Independent, were all friendly or favorable to the candidacy of Mr. Sullivan; that their editors and owners were in favor of a business man in the United States Senate; that he would not be the one to step out alone and give full vent to his personal dislike for Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan and Congressman Stringer are both vitally interested in everything pertaining to the fullest development of the great citizenship of Illinois, and their friends and followers had better stop fighting and wrangling among themselves like so many mad dogs and cats, that is, if they expect to prevent the Republicans from rushing in and capturing all the offices in Cook County and throughout the State of Illinois. ATTORNEY DEWITT H. HARDIN FAVORS THE RE-NOMINATION AND RE-ELECTION OF JUDGE FRANK H. GRAHAM Dewitt H. Hardin, attorney, 3522 S. State street, who attended the same law school with Judge Frank H. Graham and he does not hesitate in stating that he was always fair minded and free from race prejudice—that he is heartily in favor of his re-nomination at the primaries Wednesday, September 9, and his re-election at the coming November election. Congressman James McAndrews spent a few days in Chicago this week returning to his labors at Washington, D. C. on the 20th Century Limited, Wednesday noon. 2 HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER One of the most popular German-Americans in this neck of the woods, who feels dead sure with his army of friends that he will be re-nominated at the Primaries Wednesday, September 9, for Clerk of the County Court. NEGRO CAFE MAN BARS WHITE WOMAN; FINED MANAGER AND WAITER ALSO PENALIZED FOR REFUSING TO SERVE HER BECAUSE OF BACE. liamson, the Negro manager of the place, and Robert Johnson, a Negro waiter, with refusing to serve her. Discrimination Charged. The information was brought under CASE WITHOUT PRECEDENT What is believed to be a case without a precedent came before Chief Justice Harry Olson in the Municipal Court yesterday when a White woman's husband invoked the civil rights statute against the proprietor of a Negro restaurant, charging he refused to serve his wife because she was White. Mrs. Charles Copeland, the White woman, who lives at 8 East Twenty-eighth street, swore out the information, charging H. H. Boger, the Negro proprietor of the Chateau Cafe, of 346-348 East thirty-fifth street, D. D. WI- A. HON. JOHN A. CERVENKA The honorable and gentle clerk of the Probate Court, who is held in the highest esteem by all classes of his fellow citizens throughout this city and Cook County, who will assist him Wednesday, September 9, to secure the nomination for his present position. ? liamson, the Negro manager of the place, and Robert Johnson, a Negro waiter, with refusing to serve her. Discrimination Charged. The information was brought under the civil rights bill, which prohibits discrimination against public patrons on account of race or color. The bill originally was intended for the protection of Negroes. Boger testified that he had received notice some time ago from Police Captain Max Nootbaar of the precinct of a police regulation against catering to mixed parties of blacks and whites in the same restaurant or cafe. He declared he had trouble before with Mr. and Mrs. Copeland. Copeland testified the trouble had occurred when the Negro proprietor asked him if Mrs. Copeland was his wife. (Continued on page 2.) No. 49 J. MAJOR ROBERT R. JACKSON Grand high chief of the Uniform world and Republican candidate for the September 9, for the nomination for me Third Senatorial district. NEGEO CAFE MAN BARS WHITE WOMAN; FINED. (Concluded from page 1.) Proprietor Fined $15. Grand high chief of the Uniform Bank, Knights of Pythias throughout the world and Republican candidate for the nomination at the primaries Wednesday, September 9, for the nomination for member of the Illinois Legislature from the Third Senatorial district. Although the maximum fine under the criminal section of the law is $500, in view of the existence of the police regulations, Judge Olson ordered a minimum fine of $15 for the proprietor and $5 apiece for the other two defendants. He said that it was the first time he ever had heard of the statute being invoked against a Negro by a White person.—The Chicago Herald, Thursday, August 27, 1914. Chief Justice Harry Olson richly deserves to be highly commended by all fair minded citizens for imposing fines on the so-called Dr. Harry Boger and his two servile assistants and it is too bad that Justice Olson did not sock it to them for five hundred dollars each, instead of the $15 and $5 apiece and costs. As the majority of Colored people seemingly delight to spend their money where they are not waited no doubt they will continue to flock to the Chateau Cafe and blow in their money there for wine and whisky highballs in order to assist Corn Prof. Boger to pay his fines. Be it remembered that Capt. or Col. Boger will not permit, so he informed the writer with his own lips, the most highly respectable Colored ladies to frequent his beauty parlors on east 35th street; that he cannot use their money there at all—but he can find use for the money belonging to the most respectable Colored ladies at his drinking saloon further east on 35th street—Editor.

Rank, Knights of Pythias throughout the nomination at the primaries Wednesday member of the Illinois Legislature from the CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS SUNDAY, SEPT. 6TH, 1914. ALL MINISTERS AND CHURCHES REQUESTED TO HAVE SPECIAL PRAYERS AND SERMONS FOR EQUAL CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS FOR COLORED AMERICANS. Hillburn, N. Y., Aug. 22, 1914.—To the Colored American churches and clergy of the United States of America: Greeting:—"Righteousness Exalteth a nation" saith the scriptures. The main strength of the Afro-American in this land of color proscription has been their faith in God. When slavery was abolished it was as if in answer to the prayers of legions of black mothers. In the present unorganized condition of the race the enemy, color prejudice, is overpowering us. We must look to God Almighty for help. For these reasons I devoutly call upon Afro-American churches and ministers to observe Sunday, September 6th, 1914, as Equal Citizenship Rights Sunday, offering up fervent prayers for this cause and for relief, and appealing to your congregations to realize the need of resisting the encroachments of segregation, the injury of disfranchisement, the horror of lynching. We ask that you ask God's blessing upon the Annual Meeting of our National Independent Political (Right) League which meets the next day, Sept. 7, for 3 days in Bethel Church, New York City. APPROPRIATIONS GIVEN COLORED INSTITUTIONS. Washington, D. C.—The figures are out of the appropriations given to Colored institutions here, Howard University got $101,000.00. This is not a real advance but is so regarded as the House edit the item $2,000. This was restored by the Senate. Freedmen's hospital got $66,000 which is an advance of $6,000 over last year. Howard requires $200,000 for running expenses, the government providing only one-half. Byron Gunner, President. Major Robert R. Jackson After Contesting His Way into the Illinois Legislature Made a Splendid Record THE SHORT TIME THAT HE REPRESENTED THE THIRD SENATORIAL DISTRICT HE MADE A GALLANT AND BRILLIANT FIGHT IN BEHALF OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE.

Major Jackson being recognized by Speaker William McKinley and appointed a member of eight of the most important committees of the House, viz.: Chicago Charter, Fraternal and Mutual Insurance, Federal Relations, Military Affairs, Miscellaneous Subjects, Printing, Senatorial Apportionment and Municipal Courts of Chicago. It was he who passed an amendment to the Civil Rights Act preventing discrimination in the burial of the dead in cemeteries and providing a penalty therefor. The vote was 89 yeas and nays—none. He stopped the progress of the new marriage laws because they contained the word "Colored" and compelled He immediately took hold of the Jim Crow bills aimed at the Colored people by the last Legislature and checked the progress of the intermarriage bill introduced by Mr. Karch and had it recommitted to the Committee on Miscellaneous Subjects and of which he was a member. Finally killing the bill in the committee room. He killed the two inter-marriage bills introduced by Mr. Hollenbeck and Mr. Poorman and appeared before the Judiciary Committee, contended for the preservation of the rights of his people and succeeded in having the bills stricken from the calendar. He also killed the infamous full crew bill in the House and put to rout the strongest lobby for the passage of a bill that ever appeared on the floor of the legislature. He passed the bill appropriating $25,000 (without a dissenting vote) to commemorate in the State of Illinois the 50th anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro with an exhibition and celebration and creating a commission to conduct the same. THE HONORABLE MICHAEL P SULLIVAN Candidate for the Democratic Nomina- tion for Judge of the Probate Court. Champion of Justice and Equal Rights —A Tried Friend to the Colored People. The Honorable Michael F. Sullivan is a friend of the Colored people. This was especially shown in the recent civil rights case which was tried before Chief Justice Olson. The facts are as follows: H. H. Boger, at 346 East 35th street, proprietor of The Chateau Cafe, denied to Charles Copeland and wife, Mrs. Mabel Copeland, and a party of friends, the accommodations of his place, on account of Mrs. Copeland being a White woman. Application was made at the 35th Street Station for a warrant and Judge Courtney refused to issue same. Representing Mr. Copeland, George W. Ellis and Richard E. Westbrook, attorneys, 3000 South State street, were forced to appeal to Michael F. Sullivan, Chief Assistant State's Attorney, who immediately gave instructions to have the warrant issue for the arrest of Boger, Williamson and Johnson. Judge Courtney said in denying the warrant that it was his opinion that Boger was right in discriminating according to the police orders to refuse to serve mixed couples. Michael F. Sullivan after hearing the facts and the judge's reasons for refusing to issue the warrant, said he believed that every person regardless of race or color should have the equal and full protection of the law and the warrant was issued upon his instructions. Ellis and Westbrooks had the case referred to Chief Justice Harry Olson, who tried the case himself, Wednesday, August 26th. The case was vigorously prosecuted, with the result that Boget, Williamson and Johnson were all found guilty and fined. It was he who passed an amendment to the Civil Rights Act preventing discrimination in the burial of the dead in cemeteries and providing a penalty therefor. The vote was 89 yeas and nays—none. He stopped the progress of the new marriage laws because they contained the word "Colored" and compelled Colored people to state their color before being granted a marriage license. Those bills died on the calendar. He presented the arguments on the two bills he passed and was honored by the entire membership of the House with a unanimous vote on both propositions. His seven weeks in the legislature stands unequalled by fifty per cent of the members of the House who had four months lead on legislation. His clear-cut appearance at all times, affability, display of shrewdness and ability, coupled with diplomacy and his bull-dog courage in winning his seat, won for him the admiration and respect of the entire membership of the House and Senate. He had the ear of Speaker McKinley and maintained the good record left by his predecessors. It is therefore safe to say that the people residing in the 3rd Senatorial district will re-nominate him at the primaries Wednesday, September 9th, so that he will be able to continue his good work in the legislature at Springfield, Illinois.

One of the extremely popular Polish-American citizens of Chicago and Democratic candidate for renomination at the Primaries Wednesday, September 9th. for County Commissioner. County Commissioner Albert Nowak has at all times and all places been consistently recognized as one of the staunchest supporters and hardest workers for the Democratic party in Cook County. Whenever it has been necessary he has gone to the front without a moment's hesitation in the interests of Democracy, and has come to be regarded as one of the wheel horses who was always found to be reliable when a strong pull was needed to get through a hard place in the road to success. For twenty years he has been handling other people's money in amounts which at the present time average $300,000 yearly, and has properly accounted for every penny of it. This shows that among his friends and business associates he is considered trustworthy, reliable, and a man in whom all confidence can be placed with the assurance that that trust will never be betrayed. Mr. Nowak is one of those many foreign born residents of Chicago who have done so much to give it the high standing which it now holds among the municipalities of the world. He was born in Poland in 1860 and came to Chicago in 1874. He started his career here as a workingman, and was a member of the NEWS FROM MOUNDS. ILLINOIS The State Grand Lodge and Grand Temple of U.

Since becoming one of the county commissioners Mr. Nowak has proven himself to be the right man in the right place. At all times he has been ever ready as a county official to aid those among the Colored people who were in distress and it goes without saying that many of the Afro-American voters will cheerfully assist him to win in his fight for re-nomination at the primaries Wednesday, September the 9th.

State St. TEN—REASONS WHY—TEN WE ENDORSE THE RE-NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF JUDGE JOHN E. OWENS FOR JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT. First. Because he is not only capable, honest and sincere, but he is fair with the Colored people. Second. Because he has always been fair to Colored men, regardless of their party affiliations, giving due recognition to Republicans and Democrats alike without discrimination in pay, position or conditions. He has permitted them to take their places alongside of other men if they merited it, and this is all we ask of any man. We could not ask more. Ninth. We should support him because our homes need his protection. Our children are honored by the example he has set before them in the distribution of justice and fair play. Tenth. By rescuing the defenseless and oppressed women of our race he has blessed the citizenship of a people who will not be ungrateful to him. If we should judge the future by the past, John E. Owens is the man for the people, and we are a part of the great Third. Because after a careful investigation and a fair and impartial comparison of the various candidates running for the said office, we find that the voters of Cook County have made no attempt to criticise his administration or find any fault with him. We have heard no evil reports coming from the Colored people as to his unfairness in his court decisions relative to their welfare, but he has been the "Big Brother" in a court of justice to all of the people, regardless of race, color or previous conditions. Fourth. He has been as kind and considerate and, in fact, is the first County Judge who has given his personal stewardship to the unfortunate of ours as he has of other races—the insane. Fifth. He has given our women an opportunity to exercise their right of franchise with the women of other races. He has demanded the same respect for them, in the polling places, as he has demanded for others. And they have been officially recognized by him as he has officially recognized the women of other peoples. Can we forget so soon these things? No, we cannot. Sixth. He has now credited to his personal appointments four Colored men who are holding creditable positions in the Election Commissioner's Office in the persons of Mr. Robert Taylor, Mr. W. H. Clark, Col. John B. Marshall and Mr. L. W. Washington. The esteem in which he was and is now held by Attorney Louis B. Anderson, who practiced four years at the bar of his court, cannot be gainsaid. Seventh. By equalizing the responsibility of righteousness in civic affairs, by purifying the electorate of Cook County, giving protection to the ballot of the rich and poor alike, we owe it to our children to renominate and elect him for another term at least. No voter—honorable voter—will do less, realizing, as we do, that good government is as good for the Colored man as it is for the White man. Vote for Judge Owens. Eighth. In the appointment of Judges and Clerks of Election he has not neglected us, but has given us fair representation. Town Topics. Elizabeth is boasting of her age; it is Elizabeth, N.

By rescuing the defenseless and oppressed women of our race he has blessed the citizenship of a people who will not be ungrateful to him. If we should judge the future by the past, John E. Owens is the man for the people, and we are a part of the great cosmopolitan multitude. So give him every vote you can possibly muster in the Primary, Wednesday, September 9th, 1914, and rally to his standard in the November election. B. W. Fitts, President; E. E.

WASHINGTON STREET. RACE PROGRESS IN SOUTHWEST Boley, Okla., Owned Entirely by Afro-Americans. FOUNDED BY T. M. HAYNES National Negro Business League's Representative Gives Facts and Figures Which Show Remarkable Achievements and Capacity of Our People For Self Government. By RALPH W. TYLER. Boley, Okla.—To prove that the Negro, as a race, is incapable of self-government such proud Caucasians as would arbitrarily assume to serve as accusers, judge and jury for the race are wont to point to that revolution torn black republic, Haiti. If such would but turn their eyes to the southwest they would behold the existence in one state alone—Oklahoma—of eight exclusively Negro towns that are conclusively demonstrating the Negro's capacity for self government and as a town builder. Boley, Taft, Red Bird, Langston, Tatums, Brooksville, Vernon and Rentiesville, all in the state of Oklahoma, testify to the innate peacefulness and the acquired constructiveness of the American Negro. Boley, with its 2,500 exclusively Negro population within the corporate limits of the town and its 10,000 Negro population within a radius of ten miles, which population is a direct contributant to the municipality, is the largest of the eight exclusively Negro towns in Oklahoma and the largest exclusively Negro town on the western hemisphere, being three times the size of Mound Bayou. Miss., the much exploited Negro settlement. I spent several days here in the interest of that wonderfully constructive organization which Dr. Booker T. Washington inspired into existence—the National Negro Business league—carefully investigating this exclusively Negro town, whose stability and orderly government, carefully and conservatively administered, present the conclusive proof that the American Negro is capable of self government. In Haiti a standing army, whose maintenance imposes a burdensome tax upon the country's limited resources, preserves the life of the republic and at the same time contributes to continual disastrous and bloody revolutions. In Boley no soldiers patrol its borders, its streets, or guard its regularly elected officials. Boley is governed not by force of arms, but by the minions of peace. Boley has orderly conducted elections for the selection of governing officials, but no armed revolutions to enthrone an executive Boley's taxes are assessed by and with the consent of the governed and not by arbitrary officials who "assume" office and power through might. Boley typifies the constructive propaganda of Booker T. Washington rather than the destructive intrigues which foment in the black republic just beyond America's southern sea kissed border. Boley represents Negro advancement. Boley at first was but a mere camp of Negro railroad construction hands, whose foreman was a white man named Boley, from whom it took its name. It was founded by T. M. Haynes, a Negro, who is still living—and a valued citizen of the town—to witness the fruition of his altruistic plans. It was incorporated and chartered as a municipality in 1904. The town, comprising 200 acres, laid out with broad streets crossing at right angles, has a bonded indebtedness of but $32,000 and a school district bonded indebtedness of $17,000. This bonded indebtedness is secured by property within Boley whose taxable value is $450,000 and by property within the county whose taxable value is $800,000, making a total of $1,250,000 in property to secure the payment of $49,000 bonded indebtedness. This little town here in the far south west has been called the "Million Dollar Black City," because the volume of business transacted here in 1913 reached $1,000,000 and because the value of the city's realty and the amount its citizens have invested in business total $1,000,000. In 1913 the Negro merchants of Boley handled $192,000 worth of business, her Negro farmers handled $250,000 worth of foodstuff and live stock, her Negro cotton buyers bought $325,000 worth of cotton, and her local postoffice did $252,300 worth of business, $250,000 of which represented money passing through the money order department. The one bank—capitalized, controlled and conducted by Negroes—had individual deposits at the close of business Dec. 31, 1913, amounting to $55,000. This financial showing for a community composed exclusively of people but half a century removed from slavery—from a period when the right to acquire and hold property was denied them both by public sentiment and law—is a splendid attestation to the thrift and industry of our race. The residences, public buildings and stores of Boley compare most favorably with those of any town of like size whose controlling population is made up of the dominant race. In fact, there are many white older towns throughout the west of this and greater size whose residences, public buildings and acres do not compare with Boley's.

It requires no small amount of ingenuity for a man to hide behind his wife's skirts these days.—Washington Post. Fall fashions for men decree clothes molded to the form and "shapely" trousers. The tailor's art will still be to provide the shape to go with the style.—New York World. It is claimed that the young women of former days dressed no more elaborately than those of today. But they dressed more completely. — Nashville Banner. A woman may be compelled to wear the same dress she bought four years ago. But that doesn't keep her from putting in four hours a day reading the fashion dope.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Science Siftings. Light passes from the moon to the earth in one and one-quarter seconds. According to a Paris surgeon, radium emanations are valuable after operations to destroy stray diseased cells that the knife may have missed. Tests have shown that as little as a quarter of 1 per cent of sugar will prevent cement settling, while from 1 to 2 per cent, will make it set quickly, but later disintegrate. Dr. Bottlinger of Munich says that gravitation is absorbed in traversing a medium, so that the interposition of a third body between two others effects their mutual attraction. He is of the opinion that the attraction of the sun on the moon is enfeebled when the earth comes between them, when there is an eclipse. Lipton's Yacht Maybe one of the reasons that England doesn't lift America's cup is that we have competitions for a defender on this side, while over there they are in the habit of thinking it Sir Thomas' job—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sir Thomas Lipton's chance of "lifting the cup" with Shamrock IV. is roughly worth 3 to 1 at Lloyds. This is a case, however, where "previous performance" dope sheets do not help much.
