SMALL IN DEST HOUR IN The long, drawn out trial of Hon. Len Small, Governor of the great state of Illinois, came to an end at Waukegan, last late Saturday and twelve tired and true honest men, by their verdict declared to all the whole world that he was not guilty of joining hands with the late state senator, Edward C. Curtis, nor with his brother, Vernon Curtis, nor with divers other persons in an attempt to defraud the people of the state of Illinois out of one penny belonging to this state. The jurors, after drinking in all or the false or highly colored evidence that his rank political enemies could hatch up and hurl at the honest head of Governor Small, for almost six weeks, in the twinkling of an eye (as it were) had no more than entered the jury room before they were good and ready to return a verdict of not guilty in the slightest degree. To say the least, there was great rejoicing on the part of the legions of friends of Governor and Mrs. Small over the outcome of the long, drawn out, bitter trial. --- Attorney-general Edward J. Brundage, who has spent more than one hundred thousand dollars of the small taxpayers money in a vain effort to shower down his personal political revenge upon the head of Governor Small, and his large force of lawyers, including James H. Wilkerson, who is all things to all men, from a legal point of view, professed to be greatly surprised over the outcome of their personal political case. It seems that the Hon. Edward J. Brundage and his crowd of short sighted rattle brained lawyers, who are always willing to fall down upon their hands and knees before the heads or the bosses of the great corporations; who are ever ready to rob and plunder the poor, hard working people in this state, every way they possibly can, were unable to tell that they were yelping or barking up the wrong tree, therefore the right thinking people who are in a majority in this state should, as soon as possible, retire the Hon. Edward J. Brundage from public office, for his judgment seems to be shaky and he has amply proven himself to be a false prophet and unsafe in many ways to serve as M. The Honest Governor of Illinois Who Is Weighted Down with Sorrow and Grief Over the Great Loss Which He Has Sustained in the Sudden Death of His Constant and Devoted Wife. Mrs Ida Moore Small. ```markdown ``` Attorney-General for the great state of Illinois. For almost one year the Hon. Edward J. Brundage, his loud shouters and retainers have been traveling around over this state, and with the assistance of the Chicago Tribune, they have been engaged in branding Governor Small as a dishonest scoundrel, a thief; that he was steeped in crime or wrong doing, until he was as black as the hinges of the infernal regions; that it would be dead easy to prove in open court that he had stolen two million dollars belonging to the people of Illinois, but time has proven that with all of their puffing and loud blowing that they were simply a pack of maddened lambs wearing wolf's clothing who were seeking the life and blood of an innocent victim. The lawyers for the state selected Lake county in which to try Governor Small, for they labored under the impression that the Hon. Edward J. Brundage could easily control the majority of the voters residing in that county and that there would not be much trouble in selecting a jury which would be rather friendly to the state's side of the case; but the fates or the Gods were against the high handed scheming and plotting in that respect. To come right down to the milk in the cocoanut, Governor Small, while honestly serving as state treasurer of Illinois, turned over more interest on the public funds intrusted to him than any other state treasurer that Illinois has ever had. In view of all of the foregoing facts, Governor Small should, without delay, institute SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 and Not O Other Person penny of I This State Edward J. June and else Impr HON.

Brundage, Attorney-General of Illinois, Hon. Fred C. Mortimer, State's Attorney of Sangamon county, the Chicago Tribune, and all of the bunch of character assassins for one million dollars for false imprisonment, malicious persecution, and for defamation of character. As stated above the remains of Mrs. Small were laid to rest in the family lot in Mound Grove Cemetery, Wednesday afternoon. Gov. Small stood with bowed head while the Rev. R. F. Eckley, a friend of thirty years, read the simple burial service of the Methodist Episcopal church, and concluded the ceremony by dropping a white lily into the grave. The base of granite obelisk was completely covered with flowers Thousands Pass Home Thousands Pass Home Beginning early Wednesday morning thousands passed in line through the front door of the Small residence, taking a last look at the body as it lay in state. In the coffin, lined with white satin, Mrs. Small lay robed in white with a bouquet of pink sweet peas. The room was filled with a profusion of floral offerings which were said to have cost in excess of $3,000. Gov. Small, his sons, Leslie and Budd, and others of the immediate family, sat in the darkened room which held the casket during the funeral services. Thousands of persons gathered on the expansive lawn of the governor's house long before 3 o'clock, the hour when the services began. Intermingled with the local citizens were hundreds of state and city officials. ```markdown ``` Many Officials There Among those attending were Mayor William Hale Thompson, Corporation Counsel Samuel A. Ettelton, State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, First Assistant State's Attorney Edgar A. Jonas, the majority of the state legislature and the Illinois Commerce Commission, Gen. Carlos E. Black, Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson, Col. Frank Smith, Superintendent of Public Instruction Francis G. Blair, State Auditor Russel, Lieut. Gov. Fred E. Sterling, Dr. John Dill Robertson and Hon. James W. Breen. After two minutes of silent prayer while the crowd stood with bared and bowed heads, the Rev. E. B. Evans of De Kalb, Ill., read the twenty-third psalm and the fourteenth chapter of the book of John. The Rev.John A. Johnson of the Trinity Methodist Church, eulogized Mrs. Small for her simplicity of life and her purity of motives. Loved Her Home "Mrs. Small loved her home, her husband; and her children," said Dr. Johnson. "She made her home a place of rest and comfort, but not at the cost of her interest in the community. She was interested in the best things of life." "Mrs. Small knew the meaning of the word 'mother'," Dr. Evans said. "Our friend at her best was the queen of her home. She presided as a wife and a mother, but, as well, her supreme desire was to find good in the lives of others. She forgot the dark side and looked only on the bright." 14 Autos Bear Flowers Following the services fourteen automobiles were loaded with the flow FORMER MAYOR AND MRS. CARTER H. HARRISON LANDED IN CHICAGO LAST SATURDAY MORNING, SAFE AND SOUND, AFTER FOURTEEN MONTHS' TOUR AROUND THE WORLD. MANY OF THEIR FRIENDS GREETED THEM ON THEIR ARRIVAL AT THE DEARBORN STREET STATION. MR. JULIUS F. TAYLOR PLEASANTLY GREETED MR. AND MRS. HARRISON AT THE SAME TIME. Saturday morning past, former mayor and Mrs. Carter H. Harrison, returned to their old home town, after an absence of more than one year in touring all parts of the old world. On their arrival at the Dearborn Street Station, they were greeted by hundreds and hundreds of their old warm friends, many of them being steadfast, political supporters of the five times Mayor of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, who are both looking exceedingly well, greatly enjoyed their journey, to all parts of the old world. It so happened, that the writer was passing the Dearborn Street Station at the time of their arrival and ran right into the former Mayor and he cordially extended his hand and exclaimed that he was glad to see us, and in a short interview with him, he declared, "That there is no country in the world, like the United States, that there is no city on earth that can compare to the great city of Chicago; that he was exceedingly delighted to return home to his native land and to the marvelous city of his birth." At that point a crowd of politicians rushed Mr. Harrison off to one corner of the depot and while they were conversing with him in low voices and as Mrs. Harrison was disengaged in talking with some of her lady ers from the Small residence and preceded the cortege to the grave. Company L of the 129th infantry also preceded the procession and formed a circle about the knoll to keep back the thousands who had congregated there to pay their last tribute to the governor's wife. So long was the cortege that accompanied the casket to Mound Grove that its head arrived there before the last automobile had left the house. Along the streets and roadsides were thousands of residents in machines. All industries in Kankakee suspended operations for the day and the capitol at Springfield was closed. Wire company officials said that more than 3,000 messages of sympathy and condolence to the governor's family had been received.

Mrs. Harrison was very gracious and pleasant in her manner and stated, "Mr. Taylor, I am delighted to meet you," and she wanted to know if we had overlooked Mr. Harrison and we informed her that we had already come in contact with her distinguished husband and we also informed Mrs. Harrison that she was looking exceedingly beautiful and charming, after her long trip. She smilingly thanked us for the compliments. Then we informed her that we greatly enjoyed reading her well written and highly interesting articles on the "Late Mrs. Potter Palmer," which ran through the Herald and Examiner the past winter. She responded that she was greatly pleased to learn that we had enjoyed reading them. Mrs. Harrison springs from the Ogden family, of New Orleans, La., which has always been one of the most aristocratic and most highly respected families in that section of the Southland, and Mrs. Harrison has never been afraid of worthy and respectable colored people. name the entire city council as a committee to attend the funeral. Some of the aldermen left with the mayor a half hour after the meeting for Kankakee. The Resolution The resolution read, in part, as follows: "Whereas, The lamented Mrs. Small in her lifetime typified all that was noble in womanhood and motherhood; "Whereas, In her death, his excellency, the governor, has been deprived of a noble and true wife, her children of a loving and devoted mother, and the people of the state of Illinois of a woman of exalted character; one whose philanthropic and charitable work will be greatly missed; therefore, be it "Resolved, That we extend to his excellency, the governor, and to the members of his family, our heartfelt sympathy in this their grief; and, be it further "Resolved, That, as an additional mark of respect to the memory of the late wife of the governor, the flags on all municipal buildings be displayed as half-mast on the day of her funeral."

WHITE RACE NOT SUPERIOR TO OTHERS DECLARES ANTHROPOLOGIST The white race is not superior to others, declared Dr. A. A. Golden weiser, anthropologist, in an address delivered before the 13th Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Robert Treat School, Norfolk and 13th Avenue, Newark Dr. Goldenweiser is a lecturer on anthropology at the New School for Social Research in New York City. "The evidence of anatomy and neurology so far available does not indicate any appreciable superiority of the white race over the other races," he declared. "The psychological tests during the war to the contrary notwithstanding, the psychologist also fails to provide any definite data to support the contention of psychological inferiority of so-called primitive races, including the Negro, to the white. "In the domain of civilization it must, of course, be admitted that other races, with the possible exception of the Mongolian, have not produced civilizations in all respects comparable to our own, and even the Mongolian does not qualify when science and industry are taken into consideration. But an insight into the characteristics of the historic process makes it more than doubtful whether any but purely historical causes need be invoked to account for the differences in the civilizations between different peoples. It must, moreover, be remembered that in just those particulars in which the white man is incomparably superior to primitive races he is also superior to the civilizations of the ancient world, such as those of Egypt, Greece or Rome. "On its practical side, the problem of races and in particular the Negro race has two aspects; the present and future of the Negro in Africh, a.d. the present and future of Negro pop- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a white shirt].

"There can be no question that the Negro civilization of Africa will henceforth develop under the ever-increasing influence of white civilization. It will, however, be unfortunate if all specific tendencies, all local color characteristic of such civilizations, will be submerged in the process of assimilation. It seems more than probable that the importation of the white man's civilization into Africa, if accompanied by humanity and absence of prejudice, will not result in the complete obliteration of the indigenous traits of Negro civilizations, while furnishing these with the tools and advantages of the modern white world. "By far the most difficult aspect of the Negro problem refers to the Negro populations outside of Africa, primarily in the United States. There can be no question that complete legal emancipation is desirable, necessary, and will within the near future be attained. The social aspect, on the other hand, appears, much more gloomy. Deep-rooted prejudice, supported by certain physical reactions and backed by historical tradition, cannot readily be dislodged. Here the work will be tedious, painful and prolonged. It will not be achieved without whole-hearted and self-sacrificing co-operation on the part of white and the Negro alike. But if both groups assume their share of responsibility, their ultimate success in this domain also cannot be doubted."

CAMP SANITATION The camping season is here and without doubt a great many Chicago people will avail themselves this summer of the opportunity to spend a short season living in the big outdoors, or as it is frequently called, "camping out". * * * As a matter of fact, Chicago's colony of campers is increasing every year. It is now quite the thing for the boy scout organizations, not forgetting either the girls' camping clubs, to go camping and spend anywhere from one to four weeks living the open life. Now all this is very fine from the standpoint of both health and recreation, provided the sanitary conditions in and about the camping place are such as to make it safe rather than dangerous. The trouble is that perhaps the majority of people who go camping have had little or no experience in this sort of life and also are not acquainted with even the fundamentals of camp sanitation. Such people, however, do have very pleasant anticipations as to the joys of outdoor living. This is perhaps due to the fact that the average person has instinctively, especially at this season of the year, an urgent call to return to the primitive life; and almost any shady nook or dell that looks enticing would be good enough for him, or in fact a splendid place to pitch a tent. There are, however, some very important matters that should be looked into before deciding upon a camping place. First, the lay of the land. Always, if possible, pitch the tent on a slope with the front open to the South. Don't forget that cloudy days will come and the rain will fall in torrents; and for this reason your camping place should be so selected that water cannot collect, but freely and rapidly will be carried away by gravity flow. Another very important matter is the disposal of camp wastes of every kind. Out in the big woods there are no sewers or daily or even triweekly collections of garbage and no toilets or bathrooms. Your bathing place will probably be the nearby running stream or the nearest body of water. For toilets the dry earth system is admirable. Full instructions for the construction of this system of night soil disposal can be obtained most anywhere, but more especially from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Scavenger service as to the disposal of camp wastes is easily accomplished by burying. A trench of considerable size may be dug and each day's accumulation deposited and covered with fresh earth, deep enough to absorb all pdors and prevent attracting flies. Of course, the place selected for this disposal of the garbage should be remote from the camp. For your own health and comfort you will find it worth all the trouble this may cause. Where the camps are permanently maintained, of course, sanitary accommodations of a more permanent character can be provided and the expense met by each set of occupants paying their pro rata share of cost and maintenance. The drinking water supply is of prime importance. This should be selected only from an approved source and, if the camp is located near enough to a municipal supply to be piped in for camp use, there should be at least one tap for every three *** *** *** ★★ --- CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 or four tents. The tents themselves should also be so constructed as to provide good ventilation; screened doors and window openings to keep out pestiferous insects. * * * And, finally, every camping place should have one experienced and competent superintendent, who would be charged with the responsibility of enforcing sanitary regulations upon all occupants, and who should see to it that these regulations are complied with and that sanitary conditions are maintained at all times. THE PAUL DUNBAR MEMORIAI —AT ST. MARK M. E. CHURCH By Dr. M. A. Majors Last Sunday afternoon a large audience greeted Mr. J. Duncan Clark who delivered a masterly address on the life of our lamented great Negro poet. As usual Mr. Julius Avendorp presided with dignity and grace. A most excellent program was rendered. Mrs. Antonette Garnes was the star of the occasion, who sang two songs, the compositions of the dead poet. Mr. Harrison Emanuel rendered two very satisfactory numbers on the violin. Miss Cleo May Dickerson played a most excellently rendered solo, and also acted as the accompanist. Mr. Clark seemed to be in a happy frame of mind, and he regarded it an honor, he said, to be associated in a work which gave fame and imperishable distinction to a member of the black race and whose literary genius he could trace by rugged inheritance from the shores of Africa. Unlike Dumas and Pushkin, who could lay claim only in part to Negro blood in their veins, here we find a genuine Negro with no traces of a white ancestry, measuring arms with Homer, the master of the Greeks, Shakespeare, to whom the English look rather than to their great statesmen. Paul Laurence Dunbar has interpreted for all time to come, the hopes and aspirations of the oppressed by giving voice to the smothered mutterings of a helpless people. He has revealed in verse the rich truth of the noblest humanity appealing to God and to favored humanity for justice and deliverance. Paul Laurence Dunbar was more than prophet and poet, he was more than philosopher. That race is great than can develop its own poet who with trenchant pen and sapient intellect can arrest the attention of mankind, which in turn becomes awed by the sublimity of its mighty mind. While the poet you reverence is one of you, yet in a higher sense he belongs to the great and grand intellectual reaches of the noblest humanity. A collection of $42.00 was given towards the Dunbar Scholarship fund at Fisk University. Rev. John W. Robinson, who is always eloquent and can express himself to fit any emergency or literary occasion, made a few remarks thanking both Mr. Clark, for his fine tribute to the poet, and Mr. Avendorph, who brings to St. Mark every year, the Dunbar Memorial Service. "IT IS ALL IN THE POINT OF VIEW" "A Lost. But Honored Cause" "Bent of body, furrowed of countenance and feeble of gait, but with a firm, serene spirit, conscious of a duty well done and having no apologies for the doing, the fast-failing hosts of a cause that was defeated but not dishonored are gathered together in the city where their hopes were centered for four long and bloody years. In uniforms that were never stained by a dishonorable deed, the few remaining members of that gallant band of warriors who fought under the stars and bars of the Confederacy, will receive in the capital city of the lost cause what will be for many, the last tributes of love and admiration of a proud and high-minded people." Commercial-Appeal, Memphis, Tennessee. "A Cause, Honored in the Loss" "Bent of body, furrowed of countenance, feeble of gait and unregenerate in mind embittered by defeat, and holding until their last breath the rebellious spirit which animated them in 1865, the fast-failing hosts of a cause that was unpatriotic and unhonored save by themselves, are gathered together in the city where their desperate hopes were centered for four long and bloody years. In uniforms that were and are the badges of their revolt against the United States Government, many of the few remaining warriors who fought under the stars and bars of the Confederacy received in Richmond the last tributes of love and admiration from those who were like-minded, and the compassionate tolerance which many highminded Americans have for their wayward, niisguided and backward brothers." MISSION PLAY IS TAKEN O BY COLORED PEOPLE By way of special tribute to John Steven McGroarty, author of the "Mission Play," for whom they have a friendly regard, colored people of Los Angeles have declared a holiday for today, to be celebrated at San Gabriel. The festivities, which will be unique, include not only the mass theater parties at the quaint old Mission Playhouse afternoon and evening, but a mammoth basket picnic and reunion at the famous old grapevine. Music and speeches by prominent folk of both white and colored communities in Los Angeles will be the order, with M. T. Laws, president of the Panama Club, and members of this social organization taking over the "Mission Play" performances, which will have crowded houses. John McGroarty will make an address at each performance. C. Bernard Tucker will be toast-master at the formal feast of the day at 2:30 o'clock, in the garden, Mr. McGroarty opening the responses with an address on "Negro Trail Blazers of California," in which he will outline the race history of California since 1849. J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle; Rev. Cleghorn, Prof. H. Douglas Greer, Noah D. Thompson of the Los Angeles Evening Express and Frederick Warde will be speakers. Music will be furnished by the Black and Tan orchestra, of which Harry Southard is director; by Mayme Wiley Lowe, mezza soprano; Gus Perkins, John Williams, Mrs. Pinkie Rosella Pride, Herman Higgs, Frisco Nick, Marie Austin and the White Twins, Corinne and Cornelia, will give song and dance interpretations—The Evening Express, Los Angeles, Calif., June 24, 1922. LEAGUE PLANS ANTI-LYNCH ING DEMONSTRATION Thousands Will March in Silent Parade to Protest Lynching in America. Fanueil Hall, the "Cradle of Liberty." Once More Will Rock for the Cause of Justice Boston, the home of abolition and the "Hub" of the nation, famous for its brilliant history, will be the scene of another important convention from July 4 to 8 inclusive, when the 15th annual meeting of the National Equal Rights League convenes in that city. Elaborate preparations are being made for the reception and entertainment of the delegates and visitors expected to attend the convention from all parts of the country and to successfully carry out the work of the League. A general Citizens Committee has been appointed headed by Rev. Charles D. Douglass of Cambridge, and this committee has been divided into several sub-committees. A splendid spirit of co-operation and enthusiasm actuates every member of every committee which assures success of the work of the committee as a whole. Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson heads the Housing committee, Mrs. L. L. Fuertado the Committee on Hospitality; Mrs. M. Kenswell, the Committee on Entertainments; C. J. Wright, Esq, the Committee on Fraternities; Monroe Mason, the Committee on Sight-Seeing; Mrs. Edith Bowles,"Committee on Women's Clubs and Rev. Walter D. McClane of Cambridge, the Committee on Arrangements. Plans are being made to royally entertain the delegates and visitors with social dinners, parties, etc., and sightseeing tours by autos and pleasure boats down the Boston Harbor, taking in most of the historic spots and abolitionists landmarks. The gala feature of the entire four days session, however, will be the big demonstration to be staged in the late afternoon of Friday, July 7th when thousands of Colored men, women and children, will form a line at the Frederick Douglass Square and march in silent parade as an expression of racial protest against lynching and other injustice to Colored people in America. A striking feature of this parade will be "The Living Flag" represented by a group of little girls all dressed in white and arranged with stars and bars, making a perfect picture of the flag arrangement of the Stars and Stripes. Mrs. Mary E. Gibson with her assistants will be in charge of this division. With this exception there will be no uniformity of dress. Every one who wishes to may fall in line and help put over the message of protest against oppression. Another impressive feature of the parade will be the banners carried, all expressing in terse language with a variety of diction the soulful protests of the Race against National wrongs. Heading the parade will be a family of martyrs of the nation's foulest horrors—the Tulsa riot and massacre of last year. Rev, W, D. McClane is chairman of the Parade Committee. Every visitor can register as a delegate and the League especially recommends that every Colored community observe Sunday, July 2, "On to Boston Anti-Lynching Sunday," by es Member of the Constitutional Convention of Illinois with a Large Circle of Friends, Candidat the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago Member of the Constitutional Convention of Illinois Who Is Popular with a Large Circle of Friends, Candidate for One of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago. upholding a general Citizens' Equal Rights Mass Meeting to elect delegates or give them a send-off.

Major MAKE JULY 2ND "ON-TO-BOSTON ANTI-LYNCHING SUNDAY" Call Issued to Colored America for Dver Bill Preliminary to the great 15th annual convention of the National Equa Rights League in Boston, July 4 to 8 the league earnestly appeals to pastors not only to have your church send delegates, but to bring about in your community a general Equa Rights mass meeting to send delegates. The League appeals likewise to every race fraternal and civic body. We especially pray for the observance of Sunday, July 2, as "On to Boston Anti-Lynching Sunday" by holding such a general mass meeting to elect and send delegates. We ask the Race to assemble for the chief aim of a national Race convention at the "Home of Abolition," in the state of the U. S. Senate Leader, Hon. H. C. Lodge, who can do most to further the Dyer Bill. Send delegates for a four days counsel, four afternoons of historic tours, etc., and a national Silent Parade from Frederick Douglass Square, Fanueell Hall, the "Cradle of Liberty," where on Friday night, July 7, we expect to rock it as of yore for a federal law against lynching. Rates are reduced for the National Educational Convention which meets here at the same time. So "On to Boston" for Equal Rights. Rev. W. D. McClane, Chairman Committee on Arrangements and Parade.

Major To Mr. Jesse Binga, the citizens of Chicago are indebted for their first Negro bank, likewise they are indebted to Mr. Anthony Overton and a Mr. Chavers for the first National Negro controlled bank in all of America. Not only in the financial world will these gentlemen shine, but in history that is to tell of the races grand achievements. Our children will yet read brighter pages of noble men of their race who struck out for the high spots of human endeavor, and leit their names and their fame as an inspiration to all succeeding generations that are yet unborn. Truly we are living in a grand era of the world's progress. Every crowning effort we make as Negroes must tell other races that we are not different to others who reach up for the best to be realized consequent of stalwart effort. As Negroes we have outrun all predictions made of us and against us. What remains yet to be done is a getting together, uniting our forces, and presenting a strong united front in all of the big things that we undertake, so that we may become less and less each year a joke to those who try to play upon our weakness by profiting upon our foolish and giddy notions and whimsicalities.

There is nothing in Professor Robinson's book directly on the race question, but his whole argument is a criticism of prejudice and a demand for intelligent thought. We have, he tells us, first, "revery," that spontaneous form of thinking when we allow our mind to travel, where it will. Next comes "rationalizing" which belies its name since it is very irrational. It is the effort to make everything square with our ready-made, little thought out, conclusions. Much rationalizing "consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do." And lastly we have creative thinking, the highest form of thought, the thought which has transformed the world. To the creative thinker nothing is sacred, that is nothing is right just because it has been. "That an idea is ancient and that it has been widely received is no argument in its favor, and should immediately suggest the necessity of carefully testing it as a probable instance of rationalization." The creative thinker is the one who is ready to change his mind. Professor Robinson fills his book with interesting examples of creative thinkers who have shown their greatness by questioning the past, and thinking new thoughts for the future. He reviews Greek history pointing out that the Greeks were great because of their inquisitiveness, their readiness to accept new things. They had no mass of precedent back of them, and were thus better able than TEXAS LYNCHERS WANTED DEAD MAN'S WEALTH Kirvin, Texas.-Leroy and Ally Gibson, shot to death when a cracker mob lynched four here recently, were the grandchildren of Moses Gibson, one of the wealthiest colored farmers in Texas. Gibson owns three hundred acres of land in the Mexia oil section. The boys had no part in the crime and were put out of the way by the mob with the ultimate hope of getting control of the land. CANT WRITE IN ALABAMA Birmingham, Ala.-When A. B. Dubose, white, handed a letter to Matt Hattie Robinson, colored maid the churchmen of the Middle Ages or the politician of today to look keenly into life and to tell honestly what they found. Their weakness lay in their notion of aristocracy which prevented their studying mechanics or mechanical things. Science was closed to the gentleman and left to the slave. That they were, however, amazingly modern, anyone familiar with Greek literature knows well. With the Dark Ages knowledge became altogether rationalizing. Men started with the proposition of Aristotle and worked from them. The eternal postulates were always there. And now we are in an age when along the lines of science men think creatively, but when along the lines of economics, of politics, of the relation of man to man, men still largely rationalize. Professor Robinson does not use the South as an illustration but it would be an excellent one. The South assumes that a certain attitude toward the Negro, the assumption that he is inferior, that black and white must not intermingle, is an absolute truth. It is an eternal proposition, not to be questioned, but always to be defeated. Starting out with this proposition stops creative thinking and the South becomes as Menken has said, a desert of Sahara. And what is true of the southern attitude on the race question is true of us all in various ways. Unless we have an open mind, ready to search for the truth no matter what it costs us, we do not live the full life of man. We are back at the stage of the animal from which we have recently come. "Believing is far easier than thinking." One could quote for pages in this clearly written, beautifully printed, persuasive book. We all need to read it, for we all have our pet subjects which we fail to think through. We like to bolster up our beliefs, not to challenge. But, to give a last quotation, "unless thought be raised to a far higher plane than hitherto, some great setback to civilization is inevitable." in a downtown office, both were arrested. They were charged with crossing the color line. The white man was fined one hundred dollars and sentenced to six months in jail, the woman fifty dollars and three months in jail.

THE CHICAGO URBAN LEAGUE The Chicago Urban League is conducting a Rummage Sale at its offices at 3032 South Wabash Avenue, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Its friends have contributed many articles of real value to this sale, and the League takes this method of thanking them publicly. It considers the Rummage Sale a real service to the community, since it connects the person who has an undesired surplus with the one in need, and to the advantage of both. The League receives all kinds of articles at all times, repairs them and conducts periodical sales when sufficient material has accumulated. The proceeds go toward the budget of the Chicago Urban League. --- CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 M. HON. MARTIN B.
