HON. MEDILL McCORMICK, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS, DELIVERED A MASTERFUL ORATION MONDAY EVENING, AT TRINITY CHURCH, ON HIS ANTI-LYNCHING BILL, WHICH IS NOW PENDING IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE. HIS BILL HAS THE BACKING OF PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING, HON. JULIUS ROSENWALD, AND BY MANY OTHER WARM FRIENDS OF THE COLORED RACE. COL. FRANKLIN A. DENISON, ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL OF ILLINOIS, IN WELL CHOSEN AND ELOQUENT WORDS, INTRODUCED SENATOR McCORMICK TO THE VAST AUDIENCE, WHO RECEIVED A GREAT OVATION WHEN HE AROSE TO SPEAK. HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN FOLLOWED SENATOR McCORMICK AND HE CONTENDED, THAT WITHIN THE PAST SIX OR SEVEN YEARS, THAT MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON AND HIS FOLLOWERS HAVE ASSISTED TO ELECT DEMOCRATS TO OFFICES IN ORDER TO PREVENT TRUE BLUE OR DYED IN THE WOOL REPUBLICANS FROM BEING ELECTED TO THOSE SAME OFFICES. HON. THOMAS G. WINDES, NON-PARTISAN CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION AS JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY. HON. HUGO M. FRIEND, NON-PARTISAN CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION AS JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY. Monday evening one of the greatest political meetings ever held in this city was on the billboards at the Trinity M. E. church, 30th street and Prairie avenue. Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs. Blanche Gilmer for arranging the history making meeting. Long before Hon. Medill McCormick, the speaker of the evening, had arrived the church was filled from end to end and several hundred people were standing around on the sidewalk, being unable to push or force their way into the church. Well on to three thousand people were in evidence during the great meeting. Hon. Warren B. Douglas, with eloquence bristling or foaming from his mouth, ably presided over the wonderful meeting, and at the beginning of the meeting he introduced Mr. Thomas W. Allen, Mrs. Blanche Gilmer and Hon. John C. Cannon, who delivered short timely talks and at their conclusion Mr. Douglas introduced Col. Franklin A. Denison, who in well chosen words spoke at considerable length, presenting Senator McCormick to the big crowd of earnest free men and women present. Col. Denison brought down the house and caused men and women to jump to their feet and shout with joy when he exclaimed that the colored people in Chicago are not cowards, that one million bombs will not frighten them nor drive them from their homes that they are willing to die fighting to protect their wives, their sweet and lovely little children, other love ones and their homes. In concluding his timely remarks Col. Denison in the most deliberate matner said, "My friends, I now have the extreme pleasure of presenting to you the best friend that the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt ever had in Illinois, your friend and my friend, United States Senator Medill McCormick." And then over two thousand feet and women sprang to their feet and loudly applauded Senator McCormick for fully five minutes. Right from the very start he thundered forth against the hellish and damnable peonage system which is in vogue in some of the southern states at the present time, which he declared was a new horrible system of slavery. He also cried out aloud against the inhuman treatment accorded the colored people in other Hon. Thomas G. Windes is so well and favorably known to the electorate of this city and Cook county that he needs no long introduction to the many readers of this paper. He has, in the past, honorably served as Master-in-Chancery of the Circuit court of this county, from 1880 to 1892, at which time he was elected judge of the Circuit court. From that time to the present he has been one of its beacon lights and one of the most honorable and conspicuous jurists, or expounder of the fundamental principle of the laws governing all the citizens, residing in this community. Judge Windes is the dean of the Circuit court bench, being elected every six years, from 1892 to 1915, Hon. Hugo M. Friend, non-partisan candidate for judge of the Circuit Court, was ushered into this world at Prague, Bohemia, July 21, 1882, being the son of Marcus and Emilie (Straschnow) Friend. At the age of two years he accompanied his parents to this country and to the great city of Chicago, where in time he blossomed into a full-fledged American citizen. He received his early education at the Doolittle Grammar School, the South Division High School honors being bestowed upon him in those schools at that time, later on attending the Chicago University, receiving his Ph. B. in 1905 and his J. D. in 1908, and he was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1908 and from that parts of this country. He declared that the colored people had always proved themselves to be loyal American citizens and that they are justly entitled to share a white man's chance in the race of life. Senator McCormick fully explained his anti-lynching bill, which is now pending in the United States Senate. "This bill seeks to create a commission to explore and study the ways and means by which mob violence can be ended," Senator McCormick said the commission to be composed of an equal number of both white and colored men and women. "A printer's proof of Prof. William E. B. DuBois' 'Soul of Black Folk' first stirred me when I was merely a boy, to the realization that there was a great wrong in this country which needed righting. The thought has been with me all these years, but the opportunity for me to start definite action on the matter has never come until the present time. "I expect a long fight, but I am going to see it through if it takes me ten years or more. I find the election of President Harding proved an unlooked-for help, as he is strongly opposed to lynchings." He related that lately he had discussed many points in relation to his anti-lynching bill with Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, whom he regarded as one of the big lawyers in this country, with Prof. William E. B. DuBois of New York city and that recently he had gone on a long auto ride with James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of colored people in order to discuss his bill with him and that Hon. Julius Rosenwald and many other prominent men in all parts of this country, including President Harding, are working hard to boost it through both branches of congress. He earnestly appealed to the colored people of this city and throughout the state of Illinois to stand by him in his great fight for the right. Senator McCormick, in winding up his great oration, suddenly paused for a few moments and in thunderous tones exclaimed, "I know that some people have lied about me to you, but I always keep every promise I make to everyone and those who know me the best know that I am and as he always receives the unstinted support and the votes of Democrats and Republicans, as well as the independent voter, his re-election is assured on Monday, June 6. He has the distinction of serving as chief justice of the Circuit court; he is an honored and prominent member of the American, Illinois State and Chicago Bar associations. For many years Judge Winds has resided in a beautiful home at Winnetka, III, and recently, his constant and devoted wife, Mrs. Winds, very peacefully closed her eyes in death in their home and that is the main reason why Judge Winds is refraining from making any speeches and taking an active part in the present time he met with extraordinary success in the practice of law until he was elevated to the Circuit Court bench, some seven or eight months ago. Judge Friend has always greatly enjoyed athletic sports. He served as a captain of the track team of the University of Chicago in 1905, and he was a holder of the intercollegiate record running broad jump in 1903, 1904, 1905; member of American Olympic team at Athens, Greece, in 1906. Prior to being elevated to the Circuit Court bench he honorably served as master in chancery of the Superior Court, being appointed by Judge Albert C. Barnes. Judge Friend is president of the Chiego Law School Alumni Asso- a friend of all humanity which in- includes the colored race. His last words were as follows: "The black man is on trial now in Illinois. The attempt to force on him handpicked judges in the present election furnishes him with an opportunity to assert his political rights by voting the coalition, non-partisan ticket. And the election of the coalition ticket judges will be a message to the men in the south that a fight is being waged for the black man's freedom in the north." Hon. Charles S. Deneen followed Senator McCormick and was the last speaker of the evening, and right from the very start the little fighting former governor of Illinois went right to the mat with Mayor William Hale Thompson. Mr. Deneen contended that in the past and even at the present time the present chief executive of this city has joined hands with the democrats in order to defeat a republican in their race for the various offices in this city and county; that in 1917 Mayor Thompson supported a non-partisan judicial ticket, which included both democrats and republicans; that at the fall election of 1918 Mayor Thompson supported eighteen democratic candidates for the various important offices in this city and county, as against eighteen republicans, including Hon. James Hamilton Lewis for the United States Senate; at the aldermanic election in 1920 Mayor Thompson's machine in the Thirty-first ward supported Alderman Moran, democrat, for re-election to the city council as against a republican; that at the fall election in 1920 many of the followers of Mayor Thompson supported a* democrat for county recorder as against Hon. Joseph F. Haas. Mr. Deneen further contended that at the spring election in 1921 that the followers of Mayor Thompson in the Second ward and in other wards in this city supported Hon. Clayton F. Smith, democrat, for city treasurer, as against a republican, and that he felt sure that his many colored friends would not feel that he was urging them to vote the democratic ticket when he requested them to vote for the candidates running on the non-partisan judicial ticket, Monday June 6. judicial contest and he feels confident that his vast army of warm friends in all parts of this city and county deeply sympathize with him over the loss of his dearly beloved wife and that they will do everything, within their power to aid him in his reelection Monday, June 6. The Colored Cook County Bar association, which is composed of well onto sixty of the leading colored lawyers in this city, has highly endorsed Judge Winds and its members claim that he is devoid of race prejudice; that he knows no "color line" in dispensing even handed justice and that thousands of colored men and women will vote for his reelection Monday, June 6. ciation Chicago University. He served as one of the members of the First Cavalry, Illinois National Guard from 1909 to 1912. He has always been actively interested in charity. He was the creator and founder of the Maxwell Settlement, Winifred Tuberculosis Sanitarium. He is a prominent member of the Chicago City Club, Chicago, III, American Bar and the Lawyers' Association of Illinois. Aside from sitting in civil cases, he has at various times sat in the Juvenile and Criminal Courts. The judge and his good wife, Mrs. Friend reside in a pleasant home at 5307 Hyde Park boulevard, and his hosts of friends freely predict his election to the Circuit Court bench Monday, June 6.

NOTED LAW CASE WON BY ATTORNEY WALTER M. FARMER. One of the most remarkable cases tried in the courts of Illinois has just been successfully concluded by Attorney Walter M. Farmer, with an award of $4,000. In March, 1919 Isaiah Hardiman was employed by Wilson & Company at the stock yards. As he was leaving work at 1:30 a.m. on the 19th day of March he was accosted at the gates of the yard by two policemen who were also employed by Wilson & Company and as they began to search him, he broke and ran. The officers testified at the trial that they commanded him to halt but that he continued to run, whereupon they fired at first in the air and then at him, the ball hitting him in the lower left back, perforating his intestines and from which he died a few days thereafter. The officers further testified that two cartons of lard were found in his coat and that he had stolen them and was attempting to get away when he was shot. No other person saw the shooting so that the testimony of the officers was all the evidence offered at the trial. Attorney Walter M. Farmer, representing the estate of Isaiah Hardiman, had no evidence whatever, but had to rely solely upon the testimony of the officers. After hearing the testimony of the officers, Mr. Farmer contended that no crime had been established, it not having been proven that Hardiman stole anything or that Wilson & Company had lost anything. That the testimony of the officers did not prove Hardiman guilty of a crime or in legal parlance, the corpus delicii had not been proven. That the company not proving a crime were liable for the death of Hardiman. The Industrial Board decided with Wilson --- [Name] HON. FRANK JOHNSTON, JR.

Upon review the same decision was reached. Then Mr. Farmer appealed to the circuit court. Masterfully did he argue his interpretation of the legal principle involved and the court readily decided with him, reversing the decision of the Industrial Board and remanding the case with instructions to enter an award in keeping with the evidence, which was done.

He proved himself a master at the bar when he wring from the court this decision against such great odds and in spite of such fierce opposition. VOTE TO RE-ELECT JUDGE THOMPSON, CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION TO SUPREME COURT BENCH. Judge Floyd E. Thompson, of Rock Island, is a candidate for re-election as a member of the Supreme Court. Judge Thompson has displayed signal ability as a member of this august body. He has been the friend of our people before his elevation to the Supreme Court bench, and since his election he has known no man by the color of his skin. His decisions have been uniformly based on the law, free from bias or race prejudice. Our people residing in his judicial circuit should go to the polls next Monday and vote as a unit for the re-election of Judge Thompson. Every colored lawyer speaks highly of him and they should know whether he has been fair to our people.

Fourteen of them accepted and were nominated. The twenty-one places on the ticket are divided as equally as possible between Republicans and Democrats. Under the election laws it is necessary that these candidates be nominated by a party. Because they refused to obey the dictates of the city hall machine the sitting judges were refused Republican nominations. For this reason their names appear on the ballot in the Democratic column. The ticket has been endorsed by the National Republicans as well as the Democrats and is in no sense a party one. The city hall machine controls the election boards.

Wichita, Kansas—The death of Prof. M. M. Rogers, of Dallas, Texas takes from us one of the most active and aggressive men in the race. One by one we are passing out, and some day it will be announced that I am no more, and then it will be said "The Lord hath given him, the Lord hath taken him away, blessed be the name of the Lord." While I am better, I am far from being well, and have placed myself under Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, who is going to try to keep me out of heaven just a little longer. things which have been accomplished. From Louisville, Ky., I made my way to Indianapolis, Ind., and there I found things lively. One preacher had fallen in love with a beautiful woman. His wife had grown a little wrinkled in the face, and he desired to get rid of her, but she was not ready for the question, and thereby was some little fun. He tried to ship her home that he might have smooth sailing with his young sweetie, but in this he failed, and next came to the church, and a vote had had and declared him out. The head deacon of I have been moving just a little since I took my pen in hand to write to you last week, and I am still on the go; yet it matters not how fast or how far I may travel when death gets ready for me it will overtake me and tell me my end is, and I will but fold my arms and go home to rest President Warren G. Harding has appointed Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss., to a position in the Department of Justice, and I want to congratulate him on the selection of a good man, and one who will render service to the people. Mr. Howard is a real lawyer and will attend strictly to business. It was wise in making this selection, and I approve of it. We have now three men, Phil Brown, Perry W. Howard, and one man by the name of Flipper, and I am keeping my eyes open to see some other things. I tried to write my fool brains out trying to tell the people to vote for Senator Warren G. Harding, and he was elected. Now that he is President of the United States, I am anxious to see what he is going to do. I have no particular favor to ask for myself, but I certainly want to see those who voted for him get a fair deal. There will be another election day, and we want to be able to say that all we wanted of the President was true and right, and we will support the next one, if it happens to be Harding himself. But this week I have just a few things to say to you about the affairs of this country, about the people and what they are doing. It seems that the whole country has turned attention to listening to beautifully constructed sentences. Every period and comma, colon and semi-colon just where they belong, and other marks are receiving attention. You see this is commencement time, and believe me when I tell you our schools are turning out some men. I have told you about being at the Simmons, University, in Louisville, Ky., and they had some exercises there. I just felt lifted up, and I want to make a place for all who received their diplomas from that great Kentucky school, but it is impossible. They will have to peg away. They will learn by experience that it is not all in their heads, and there is room for more or rooms for rent, and I hope they will soon find tenants for them. Of course we have made wonderful progress, and it is nothing to what it is going to be.

You may go to the devil or anywhere else you desire with that beautiful woman." I will not comment on this. A little time was spent in company with one of the next bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church, the Rev. Dr. Charles Sumner Williams, pastor of Bethel, and the man who is doing things in that man's town. Wonderful young man, and I am proud of him and what he is doing. Get ready to see Bishop C. S. Williams in 1924. Indianapolis is an aggressive city and town, and they believe in doing things right there in town. I wish I had the time to tell you all about them there. I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Lewis while there. Then I beat it to Chicago, where things are in good shape, and men are doing things there. In Chicago I put myself under the charge of Dr. George Cleveland Hall, one of the greatest physicians and surgeons in this country, and a man who knows the human body just as you know your own name. This young man has worked from the ground up. He started out as a bellboy at the Grand Pacific hotel, and step by step he went to the top of the ladder of fame. They say "George Hall Knows His Stuff," and I agree with them. I am making some progress and getting rid of the germs, putting them under my feet or some other fellow's feet. Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart became a special nurse for me, and I wish you could have seen this first aid nurse contributing to my wants while in her home. She has had special training and was as kind as could be.

CHILD LABOR LAW How the first governmental provision in this country for the protection of working children was enforced is described in a report, "The Administration of the First Federal Child Labor Law," issued today by the U. S. Department of Labor through the Children's Bureau. Effectiveness and economy in administering this and similar laws can be obtained, the report indicates, through developing a genuine working relationship between the federal office and the State and local officials. • State certificates for work were accepted and federal certificates were not issued in States in which this certificating requirement of the child labor law met or exceeded the federal standards and in which, also, enforcement was satisfactory. States were designated for periods of 3, 6, or 12 months, at the expiration of which they were redesignated according to whether or not they had maintained adequate standards. Co-operation between federal and state authorities was obtained in inspections made under the law as well as in the issuing of certificates. State officers charged with the enforcement of state child labor laws were commissioned by the U. S. Secretary of Labor to assist in the enforcement of the Federal Act. An inspector of the Child Labor Division of the Children's Bureau was assigned the special duty of co-operating with state officials, and joint inspections were tried out. These methods of administration resulted, among other things it is pointed out in a wholesome decentralization, stimulated other states to reach a standard which allowed them to issue working certificates and inspect with government sanction, and rendered the central-administration more economical and effective. Many states reported that the federal law had made the enforcement of state laws easier. Mrs. Eliza Jackson, 3739 Elmwood av., state grand queen of Illinois of A. U.

ADA DOZIER, PLAINTIFF, ABLY REPRESENTED BY A. L. WILLIAMS, THE FEARLESS RACE LEADER—JUDGE SAM'L STOUGH OF MORRIS, ILL., PRESIDED WITH IMPARTIAL FAIRNESS, AND SHOULD BE FOREVER REMEMBERED BY THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA FOR ABLE AND FAIR RULINGS IN THE CASE. On Wednesday, May 25th, 1921, the first case of the many now pending in the Courts of Cook County for personal injury and death sustained at the hands of a mob in Illinois was tried before Judge Samuel Stough from the County Circuit Court and residing at Morris, Illinois. this and was sustained by the Court. At another time during the jury selection, a colored man by the name of Ellis Thompson was tendered by Mr. Williams and turned over to the city. When he was reached by the city for its acceptance, Mr. Cronson deliberately excused him without having The City of Chicago was represented by two white lawyers, Mr. R. C. Lund and Bert Cronson, cousin to Hon. S. A. Ettleson, Corporation Counsel. Mrs. Ada Dozier obtained the services of Mr. A. L. Williams, one of our leading race attorneys, and it can be said of him that he certainly did himself and the race justice in his able and masterly prosecution of this case. It will be remembered that during the riots in 1919 Mr. Williams made a statement that the City was liable for the injury and death sustained by the riot and a similar statement came from the Attorney General's Office to the effect that the City was only liable for personal property damage but not for personal injury. Mr. Williams followed his opinion by filing twenty-one cases against the city for personal injury, and the case above is the first of the series tried, and in fact the first one tried by either white or black people, and will stand as the precedent in Illinois. While in 1917, in the city of East St. Louis, hundreds of colored people were injured and killed and the N. A. A. C. P. decided to and did employ white attorneys. All of these attorneys fell down flat in their cases and not one of those poor helpless people recovered for their loss, for their injury or death. It will go down in the history of Illinois that the first person to recover under the law was a black woman who had common sense to employ one of her own race to prosecute her claim against the City of Chicago. Mr. Williams has always stood out squarely for the rights of his people, and to his great credit he has stood like a solid rock for justice. When the jury was being selected, Mr. Cronson, for the city, attempted to excuse a young white man about twenty-four years of age, because he in answer to a question propounded by Mr. Cronson, said that he thought that the city did not do its duty in failing to stop the riot sooner that it did, and as a result many of the lives were lost from its failure. Mr. Cronson attempted to excuse him for cause, but Mr. Williams objected to THE STUDENTS OF ROSSETTER G. COLE, OF THE COSMOPOL- ITAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND DRAMATIC ART, APPEARED IN A DELIGHTFUL RECITAL Last Friday evening Kimball Hall, Wabash avenue and Jackson boulevard, was crowded from one end to the other, with the friends and admirers of the students of Rossetter G. Cole, who appeared to the great delight of those present in a recital of original compositions, at which time the following highly interesting and artistic program was rendered: Program. Suite for Piano—"In Olden Times" by Dorothy Liebe; Prelude—Gavotte Air, Gigue—Miss Liebe.

ADA DOZIER, PRESENTED BY A. L. WILLS RACE LEADER—JUDGE CORRIS, ILL., PRESIDED WITH, AND SHOULD BE FOREVER THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AND FAIR RULINGS IN THE HOME WHITE EIGHTH FIELD, this and was sustained by the Court. At another time during the jury selection, a colored man by the name of Ellis Thompson was tendered by Mr. Williams and turned over to the city. When he was reached by the city for its acceptance, Mr. Cronson deliberately excused him without having questioned him at all. All of the witnesses were white men who testified in the case and the entire court was composed of white men with the exception of Mr. Williams, and it can be said of him he certainly mastered the situation throughout the case. When the case was closed and the argument began, Mr. Williams here showed his magnetic influence with the jury. It could be readily seen that he had the jury with him, and it was said by a white gentleman in the court that his address was the greatest he had ever heard coming from any man, either white or colored. This white man, talking to another white friend, said that if Mr. Williams was a white man he would be worth a million dollars. There are twenty more cases in the care of Mr. Williams, and he predicts that he will get verdicts in the most of them. The colored people are to be congratulated in having in the race a man of A. L. Williams' type. He is a common, every-day fellow, never attempting to dignify his personality. If you did not know him you would take him for any other ordinary fellow, although he has to his credit more precedents in similar cases, than any other lawyer of the race. It was he that compelled the State through the legislature to compensate a colored man, convicted in the State penitentiary by a blast bursting and putting out one of his eyes. In that case he got $2,000.00. Again he was successful in compelling the city to compensate a colored employee who was shot by a white fellow-employee while working on the job. In this case he got $2,700.00. These cases are precedent cases as the records in the entire state does not show where any person ever succeeded before him, Mr. Williams, in such actions. If we had more of his kind we would not have to meet with so many unnecessary inconveniences, and the opposite race would not with impunity make these un-Godly and damnable assaults on us without cause.

Many of the warm friends of Mrs. Manson were present to hear her songs charmingly sung by Miss Mary Welch and Miss Flora Waalkes. QUINN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. 24th and Wabash ave. Rev. H. E.
