Hugh S. Magill of Princeton, this State, One of the Leading Republican Politicians Within Its Borders, Has Tossed His Hat Into the Political Ring as an Independent Republican Candidate for United States Senator From Illinois. There will be a Great Three Cornered Scrap Between Him; Col. Frank L. Smith and Hon. George E. Brennan Between Now and Election Day. The Chances Favoring Mr. Brennan's Election to the United States Senate. Hon. Martin B. Madden Was Presented with an Elegant Chest of Silver at the Rainbo Gardens Banquet, Last Tuesday Evening, and a Big Red Bound Testimonial Book, Containing the Names of the Three Thousand Banqueters whose Presence Graced the Occasion. The first part of this week all the politicians and would-be politicians throughout the state of Illinois, received a severe body blow which came nearly knocking them out at the first inning and some of them have not yet fully recovered from the great shock which they received at that time. For no one ever dreamed that it was the slightest intention of any person of prominence to enter the race as a third candidate for United States Senator from this state and former State Senator Magill has certainly shook up or woke up the politicians in every direction. The first of the week he arrived in this city from New York City in company with Mr. and Mrs. Julius Rosenwald, and it is expected that Mr. Rosenwald will dig up enough of money to enable Senator Magill to wage an aggressive senatorial campaign between now and November 2nd. Mr. Harold Ickes, Miss Harriet Vittum and many other Republicans of note, are fast rallying to his support and no question about it. Thousands and thousands of Independent Republican voters will flock to his standard, deserting Col. Frank L. Smith, and indirectly assisting to elect Hon. CHICAGO PASTOR TELLS TEXANS SLAVERY WAS DIVINELY INSPIRED Ft. Worth, Texas.—Rev. Junius C. Austin, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church of Chicago, filled the pulpit of Rev. J. F. Norris, pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city here last Sunday night, and before a congregation of eight thousand people, proclaimed that the slavery of the American Negro was divinely inspired. "You American whites," he declared, "played a noble part in response to the demands of the Divine Program." The audience was deeply moved and voiced its approval of the minister's stand. Comment has been rife all over Texas as the speech was widely broadcasted, the Sunday evening services at Rev. Norris' Church being a regular part of the radio program here. Rev. Norris, George E. Brennan, to the United States Senate. Seemingly, the great mass of the electorate of this state are not in harmony with the views as expressed by Col. Smith, through the columns of the newspapers and otherwise, on the Volstead Act. Our mind or vision may not the very clear and somewhat limited, as to the aims and objects of the Volstead Act, to the fullest extent. But we are dead set against it nevertheless, not because it interferes in the way of preventing us from scoring and drinking better whisky, more whisky and cheaper whisky. For without the Volstead Law or Act we never indulged in ten glasses of whisky at separate times in our life and we are doubly dead set against the Eighteenth Amendment for millions and millions of dollars are being recklessly and madly expended each year in an insane effort to enforce it and prevent the great citizenship of America to freely enjoy one small glass of wine or light beer, without saloons. While the government officials are spending millions of dollars each year to destroy personal liberty, they will not spend one dollar to run down and bring to justice, that class of red-handed criminals, who delight to burn who is widely known throughout the country as an evangelist, gained widespread notoriety recently when he shot and killed a man in his study. Rev. Austin must be a wonderful son of a gun to set himself up as the mouthpiece of an all wise and merciful God on the slavery question and it seems to us that what he does not know about the plans and intentions of his Baptist God would fill a book which would reach from here to the high heaven.—Editor.

BANQUET IN HONOR OF HONORABLE MARTIN B. MADDEN Last Tuesday evening some of the thousands of the steadfast friends of Hon. Martin B. Madden gave an elegant banquet at the Rainbo Gardens in his honor as a token for the great service which he has rendered during his fighting in Congress in favor of the deep water way system which when completed will be of great benefit to millions of people residing in the middle west. As already stated Hon. William Hale Thompson served as toastmaster, and Hon. Joseph P. Savage in eloquent words presented Congressman Madden with the chest of silver. Hon. George F. Harding made the presentation speech of an engraved testimonial setting forth his accomplishments towards establishing the connecting water link between Chicago and the Gulf of Mexico. The testimonial was bound in covers inlaid with gold and was hand-engraved and beautifully colored, and in accepting it Congressman Madden said after his death he wanted it placed either in the historical society or in the congressional record. hurricanes. There were a few cases of injuries and some property was destroyed but practically every home was still tenable after the storm had passed. The Negroes refused to believe that the danger was over, however, and hundreds remained indoors until Tuesday, fearful of encountering a recurrence of high winds. FT. DEARBORN CLUB BOOMING Ft.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE ADMITS LARGEST CLASS IN ITS HIS- TORY Fifty-Ninth Session Begun; 435 Stu- dents Examined for Admittance; New Teachers Arrive Hampton, Va—The arrival of stu- dents and teachers during the last week marks the beginning of the fifty-ninth year since the work of training young men and women was begun by Samuel Chapman Armstrong at Hampton In- stitute: The largest class in the history of the school was admitted, according to an announcement made by Dr. George P. Phenix, Vice-Principal, at a recent meeting of the faculty, when 435 ‘students took the entrance examina- tions. The old students have now re- turned and with the addition of the newcomers to their number, the total fenrollment will approach closely that of last year when 450 students were graduated. ‘New teachers and workers who this year have been added to the staff have been arriving also during the last week. Due to the advancing of the levels of performance required of students since the establishment of Collegiate work six years ago, and the resulting need for specialization in each of the sev- eral subjects taught, many of the new members of the teaching staff have fitted themselves by advanced work in particular fields and come to Hampton _a8"specialists. | Dr. James E.

Collins In moving into a new apartment, all locks should be carefully inspected, all keys accounted for, and best of all door locks should be changed, accord- ing to the weekly bulletin issued by Chief of Police Morgan A. Collins, yesterday, intended in this instance to warn the army of persons who will move on October Ist. . The bulletin follows: Front and rear doors should be equipped with double bolts 2s profes- sional burglars experience little diffi culty in forcing back spring locks. Change locks to avoid trouble. Tt is the best investment you can provide for your family’s safety. This warn- ing is particularly, applicable to large apartment buildings. Protect your windows with good strong loc¥s. Cheap locks are worth- less as a safeguard. If you can afford it install electric alarms that will give warning in case of entry. Fire escapes are frequently used by burglars. They should never be ac- cessible from the ground or an adjoin- ing building, Securely fasten all windows and doors when you go out. To conceal keys under door mats or over door casings is an invitation to rob your home of everything movable. Install chain locks or other safety device on your front and back doors to prevent entrance while conversing with strangers. This precaution may save your life. Help us to protect you. If you see a suspicious person loitering about your premises call your nearest police station, Police 1313. An ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure. HAVE YOU EVER HAD BOILS? If not, you may not know what to do if you get one, and if you have had boils, you may not know any more about what to do or what not to do than you did before. It is important to know what NOT to do, so I shall tell that first. Do NOT poultice a boil, and do not use hot compresses upon it. Now come along with your protests and your assurance that the poultice fakes out the pain and makes the boil come to a head better and that you have always used that method of treat- ment with success, and that your mother before you and your grand- mother before her always used poul- tices and hot compresses! A whisper in your ear! I used them once my- self, but it didn't take very much persuasion to make me stop when I saw that heat softened the tissues afd ‘opened up more avenues for the sta- phylococcus and his millions of brothers. I am willing to get rid of one boil without inviting a hundred or even two more! Heat is liable to soften the tissues and spread the infection and make a whole series of boils! It doesn't always do so, but it does so frequently enough to make the practice inadvisable. Antiseptics- at the early stage of boils are practically valueless. The best treatment when you feel one com- ing is to use ice. Put a piece of ice in a sterile piece of gauze and~“freeze the boil.” If you do: this when you first feel one coming on it may check it. Drink large amounts of water, and take a cathartic. If the “little spot of agony” goes on to full development see a physician and get it lanced carly and properly dressed. Do not try to lance it your- self and NEVER squeeze a boil. You are liable to introduce other and more dangerous germs into the tissue or spread those you already:have. There is no sense in running the risk of blood poisoning. A little antiseptic ointment smeared gently over the surrounding area may prevent the infection of the other hair follicles in the neighborhood. ‘When one boil after another appears the use of “bacterins” injected by the physician may be of help. The best bacterins are those from the material taken from the patient himself. This treatment is of no practical use for one boil, SALOONMEN’S PROTECTIVE UNION GIVES N.A.A.C.P. $100 New York, Sept. 24—A. F.

Jones Thanks N.A.A.C.P. for Aid and Says Resolution Will Be Offered Legion’s National Conven- in New York.—An important step is announced by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, in the fifteen-year fight to rouse the conscience of the nation against lynching and to have a federal law against this crime enacted. | J. O. Jones, member of the American Legion in Ohio, writes to the N.A.A. C.P. that the Legion unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill at its state conven- tion, and that the resolution will go before the American Legion in its Na- tional convention. Mr. Jones writes as follows to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N.A.A.C.P.: The information that I requested from you some time ago, concerning the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, was re- ceived in due time, and I am thanking you gratefully for it. ‘The resolution referred to in this letter, and a copy of which you wilt find enclosed, passed the American Leigon Convention of Ohio without a lissenting vote. The delegates were authorided to presént this to the Na- tional Convention of the Legion when it convenes in Philadelphia on October 11, 1926, for its adoption. You will know that the first round of that battle has already been won, when I tell you that I was elected na- tional delegate to this convention. I ‘am endeavoring, however, to be a member of the Resolutions Commit- ‘tee, in order that I may use my influ- ence in having it presented at the con- vention. I shall ask the assistance of the N. A.A.C.P, in my endeavoring to have this passed in Philadelphia next month. The text of the Resolution adopted by the American Legion of Ohio in State Convention is as follows: - Whereas, there is pending in Coh- ‘gress a Bill known as the Dyer Anti- Lynching Bill, action on which has Fe deferred for more than three ‘years, and whereas, all of Ohio's Rep- resentatives to Congress voted for this ‘Bill when it passed the House in No- ‘vember, 1922, and whereas, both of our Senators are urging its passage, and whereas the American Legion stands for those principles that secure for all justice and liberty, be it re- solved that this convention now in session at Elyria, Ohio, heartily favor ‘its passage and request and urge that Congress pass it or a similar bill dur- jing its next session. Be it further resolved that the dele- gates elected from this convention be instructed to have a similar resolution brought before that convention. TANGIBLE JIM-CROW REMOVAL Demanded of President Coolidge with Immediate Start by National Equal Rights League and Boston Branch on 64th Anniversary of Emancipation Proclamation—Chairman Butler Asked to Aid—Issue in Campaign— Convention in Philadelphia. Boston, Mass.—Rev. B. W. Swain, vice-president-at-large of the National Equal Rights League, speaking at the 64th anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in the 12th Baptist Church, declared dissatisfac- tion with the President's response to the Sesqui-Centennial Anti-Segregation Petitioners, for he could not see the segregation “already removed,” nor any “gradually” removed since any wrong should be wiped out. J. A. Hagan saw no relief from Coolidge or Sen. Butler, now up for re-election, but a sorry blow of a Jim Crow Beach Law, nor had Butler, af- ter promising, ever instanced any specific interview he had with the President on the segregation. Secre- tary A. G. Wolff, presiding, called for an end of political childishness. ‘Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, seconding all this, memorialized Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, and Wm. Monroe Trotter, in agreement, memorialized Emery T. Morris and then presented resolutions to President Coolidge and Sen. Butler which were adopted. It said in part: “President Coolidge hereby called upon to make now a tangible removal of federal employee segregation of the race freed sixty- four years ago to save the country from disruption by the white south who are the authors of this segregation in recognition of this saving by soldier: freedom, and to make this sesqui-cen- tennial year of Independence the time and ‘occasion of the abolition of pro- scription of any race of loyal Ameri- cans under. the Federal government.

COLORFUL NEWS MOVIES By THE CAMERAMAN Literary Demand and Supply Carl Van Vechten (author of "Nigger Heaven") and his publishers seem destined to make a fortune out of the sales of the much sought after volume depicting Negro life in Harlem. In the same manner in which "Three Weeks" outsold "Ramona₁," and a score of other volumes of genuine merit, "Nigger Heaven" seems destined to corral the present Negro sales market of literary "gems." The supply is unlimited, and the demand is like a whirlwind. Dusty volumes of Dunbar, DuBois and others, devoted to portrayals which the Negro needs to read, still go a-begging for buyers; but printers of "Nigger Heaven" are working overtime to keep up with the law of demand.

This column does not hold any intensely adverse brief to Mr. Van Vechten's book, written at the semi-social expense of good ethics as between the author and those who danced and dined him into the midst of their "heavenly" moments of relaxation. This column merely repeats what it averred a few weeks ago—that the reeking and riotous cabaret and Charleston life of Harlem, or of any other location or group of American citizens, whether white, black, yellow, brown or red, is of little consequence when the substantial objectives of such a group or locality are sincerely considered for a moment.

OCTOBER 2. 1926 Member of Congress from the First Congressional District of Illinois, Chairman of the Appropriation Committee of the House of Representatives, who was presented with a large chest of silver and a big red book, containing the three thousand names of the persons who attended the banquet, held at the Rainbo Gardens, Tuesday evening, in his honor for the great fight which he made in behalf of the deep waterway. ress are the objectives which we should be gainfully pursuing these days—not what might have been had the barrier been placed around amalgamation processes, or what might be were America living in the millenium of the Golden Rule Period—which it is not. With a lull in New England's cotton, the Mississippi delta and other sections of the South face the greatest chance they have ever been given to increase wages and make the cottonpickers' occupation pleasant and profitable. Alas, though, grasping at a straw, the delta has turned to the Mexican who good plan which should be pursued here to bring about his complete emancipation, what consolation would be enjoyed by the black pathfinders of America. Cannot something be done to preserve the U. N. I. A., give it a virile leadership of integrity, a new plan of action, and save it as the model, in Of course, Mr. Van Vechten is out for the money, and we cannot censure him severely for such a common fault or virtue, as the case may be. We can, however, lament over the gullibility of our own group, which, as usual, is swallowing hook, line and sinker, baited with literary nothingness. The Cottonpickers The announcement has been broadcast from the Mississippi Delta that there is a shortage of twenty thousand cottonpickers for the incoming season. The S. O. S. call has been sounded and the announcement predicts that the cotton labor gap will be filled with Negroes and Mexicans. Just why there is a shortage in the delta district, where free labor once abounded, does not appear; but the fact remains that apprehension is aboard in Mississippi lest precious King Cotton waste some of his sweetness on the desert air. Let us look briefly at the economic anomaly which is beginning to make its presence felt, not only in Mississippi but elsewhere in the Southland, where Negro labor is now sitting up and taking notice. Due to the iniquities of the crop mortgage systems southern farm lands are being slowly but surely deserted by Negro farm tenants and operators. This indirect influence is pulling away from the agricultural fields blocs of efficient Negro laborers who, if they cannot reach the steel and automobile plants of the North, are content to hire themselves out to Tennessee and Birmingham steel employers. The output of Mississippi cotton to the New England textile industries has been curtailed, but to the present slight textile depression in New England, and because of the growth of North Carolina's textile industries, which now absorb a larger share of the South's cotton. Wages, at low ebb in the South now, as ever, have not been made to keep 'apace with the new southern prosperity, and the most poorly paid worker of all, the Negro, is still being kept "in his place," in industry, agriculture, and otherwise. HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN With a lull in New England's cotton, the Mississippi delta and other sections of the South face the greatest chance they have ever been given to increase wages and make the cottonpickers' occupation pleasant and profitable. Alas, though, grasping at a straw, the delta has turned to the Mexican, who, good man though he may be, has no equitable right to "unhorse" staunch, loyal American workers, white or black. Southern steel has long since been endeavoring to learn the lesson of industrial justice to all, and it is encouraging to state that much progress in this regard has been made. Why cannot the Mississippi delta and the other industrial and agricultural sections of Dixie go and do likewise? The Waning U. N. I. A. Cancerous discord is eating out the vital forces of the Universal Negro Improvement Society. The Garveyites and the anti-Garveyites are at each others' throats in a feud which probably will end in the death of the parent organization. In spite of the humorously pathetic back-to-Africa project which leaders of the U. N. I. A. so zealously fostered, the Association possessed a few outstanding virtues, chief among which was the fact that so large a body could organize itself, function, and prosper for so long a time with a definite objective in mind. This in itself was an achievement, which the Negro in America had never before enjoyed, outside of the field of Religion. Jealousies and self-aggrandizement, however, are now having their day in the U. N. I. A. Its definite purposes are being laid upon the table, while its leaders are engaging in personal charges, counter charges, and incarcerations. The masses, who gave of their money and energy to stabilize organization among Negroes, are being forgotten, while its leadership struggles with itself in fury and self destruction. Disintegration has set in upon what was once a great organization. It would be both graceful and self-saving if the masses who comprise the U. N. I. A could be kept intact to face, not an emigration to the dark continent, but an approach to the problems which beset the Negro in America. If the flames of organization of the Negro could be kept alive, so that in an orderly scientific way, he could put firmness and initiative into the plan which should be pursued here to bring about his complete emancipation, what consolation would be enjoyed by the black pathfinders of America. Cannot something be done to preserve the U. N. I. A., give it a virile leadership of integrity, a new plan of action, and save it as the model, in form at least, from which new units of racial solidarity may be created and dedicated to the service of the struggling race? ** The downfall of Mr. Jack Dempsey, ex-heavyweight boxing champion of the world, with reservations, is not unlike the plight of a white man, who, having been injured in a wreck, preferred death to a ride to the hospital in an ambulance which bore the body of a colored man. Dodging Dempsey, who became weak in the legs, short of breath, and shy of punching force, after a three years' marathon of evasion of one Mr. Harry Wills, has suffered grievous uppercuts both from Mr. Tunney and Father Time. In his gloom, however, Mr. Dempsey is consolled by the fact that he was defeated "by an American—a fellow countryman—a man who speaks the English language" and scored uppercuts with American punches. Mr. Dempsey, aided by Mr. Rickard and several other good American "sportsmen," did not think it was ethical to fight Mr. Harry Wills for the world's chamhipship, and those years of dodging—not fighting—took their toll from Mr. Dempsey's once husky frame. Mr. Tunney, even before uppercutting Mr. Dempsey into submission, ascribed to the policy of white championships only (that is, of course, excepting another international war is fought) and will probably grow fat, sleek, and slow evading Mr. Wills and battling second and third-raters of his own hue. However, it was good to change champions, because even in the ring, variety is the spice of life. Of course prize-fighting is a brutal, barbaric sport; and it wouldn't elevate the Negro race any if Mr. Wills were to fight and win. Yet, as long as good American and English-speaking sportsmen are going to engage in warfare, either in the ring or in the field of shot and shell, why not make it 100 per cent American, just like the Ku Klux Klan says it should be?

NEGRO CRIMINALITY EXAGGERATED SAYS DARROW IN HARPER'S (N.A.A.C.P. Press Service) Writing on "Crime and the Alarmists" in the October number of Harper's Monthly Magazine, Clarence Darrow points out that the crime of Negroes is vastly exaggerated. "The colored population," declares Mr. Darrow, "is charged with a share in the commission of crime quite out of proportion to their number. This, too, should always be considered in connection with the fact that in the north they live in industrial centers and in restricted, crowded areas and that colored people, owing to race prejudice and poverty, are much more apt to be accused and convicted than the whites." ENTERTAINS FOR BOWLINGS The Chicago Alumni Club of Roger Williams University, tendered Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Bowling a reception upon their leaving for Nashville, Tenn., where they go to take up work at the school. There were nearly one hundred graduates and former students present at this time and Judge William Henry Harrison, assistant attorney general of the state of Illinois, presided throughout the evening. The club pledged $5,000 to be paid by Christmas which is indeed very encouraging to all Rogerites. 17 CIPED Morne Mormon Photo HON. EDWARD J.

Garland Penn, of the Board of Education, Methodist Episcopal Church, announces the formation of a new movement, known as the Lincoln Educational League to aid in the endowment and additional current support of the Negro Schools and Colleges of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The slogan of the league is Emancipation and Education. The emblem is a button with a portrait of Lincoln on the face and over it the name Lincoln Educational League, and under the portrait Emancipation and Education. The Lincoln Educational League means to emphasize that Lincoln was the Negro's first emancipator and Christian education, the second, every one or any one giving as much as one dollar ($1) per year to the Christian education, as fostered by the colleges and secondary schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church, becomes a member of the Lincoln Educational League. The membership is not confined to denomination or race. Dr. Penn organized the National Medical Association in 1895, the Negro Young People's Christian and Educational Congress at Atlanta in 1902, the Congress of Negro Teachers at Atlanta out of which grew the National Colored Teachers' Association. He says "The Lincoln Educational League is to outdistance all other of the movements in the scope and permanent results of its work."

Rome, Ga., Sept. 30.—Jim Micken, alias Jim McMakin, under sentence to hang October 1, has been granted a 60-day reprieve by Governor Clifford Walker as the result of an application for clemency filed with the prison commission. The reprieve was dated September 7, and received by Sheriff R. E. Wilson Wednesday. Attorneys and friends of Micken filed application asking that they be given an opportunity to show cause why his death sentence should be commuted to life imprisonment. Owing to the fact that the prison commission will not meet again until the first Monday in October, which date is four days after the date originally set for the execution, the reprieve was asked in order that the showing might be made. Micken or McMakin, is said to be half-witted and the showing to commute his sentence will be made on that ground. He was convicted of murder in connection with the death of Miss Jessie Hix, in 1919, and sentenced to hang October 1, 1919. In September of that year, he escaped from Floyd county jail and until about two months ago was a fugitive from justice. The man was located in Toledo, Ohio, and Sheriff R. E. Wilson went after him.
