Applauds Their President After She Finished Her Paper and Defender Representative Published Same For Its Readers. Race Make Slow Progress But Sure of Ultimate Aim Will Be Reached. Can it be possible that after many years of toil and pain, years of poverty and distress, of misery and woe? Years of doubts and fears? that we at last have awakened to the fact, that we have erred in our judgement concerning the cause of the conditions that exists between the white race and the black: must we start over again and undo all that it has taken us years to accomplish? Would it not have been wiser and far better? had we sought to reach our white friends from a humanitarian point of view? rather through racial agitation? We have been agitating and agitating year after year, and what have the negro accomplished? we have not stopped the lynching of the black man for his real or imaginary crime; we have not succeed in either tearing down or breaking through that wall of prejudice that rear-up so gloomily ahead and cast its shadows over us; we have listened to the most eloquent speakers, the most gifted orators, intellectual women tell of the great wrongs done the black race of people. We have listened to the voice of the impassioned speaker. As he would express his indignation at the attrocious treatment the black man is subjected to. There has been speakers whose eyes were dim with tears, whose voice trembled with emotion. As he told of the barbaths perpetuated in this Christian land of ours. But it seems that neither the impassioned speaker or the grief laden exhorter knew able to change the condition of the poor despised black people of this country. The country that has long boasted of its freedom, and the home of the brave. Nor has the eloquence of the most gifted orator been able to find words far-reaching enough to touch the hearts of the blood-thirsty southerner; or to impress the cold blooded indifferent northerner. From the pulpit, the press, and the platform the cry of injustice can be heard. The plea for the negro has become one of the most pathetic stories that we listen to or read about. And it is with great reluctance that we admit how slow our progress has been the cause of justice. And the tenacious combativeness of the Negro should convince the most prejudiced mind that he is in earnest in his fight for recognition in all things that lack to his advancement. Let it be in trades or professions, his fight is an open one and some day he will compel the whole world to "sit up and take notice." Many avenues for the Negro's advancement are closed, and parents who have toiled for years to better the condition of their offspring have been forced by condition and circumstances with tears, bedimmed eyes and sighing hearts, see their daughters bound down over the wash tub as her mother before has done or perhaps do worse. And to see their manly sons denied an equal chance to show the world that true manhood is not rated by the color of the skin. One may be pardoned for taking a pessimistic view of the situation, and cry out "How long, Oh Lord, how long?" in repetition of the previous question can it be that we have started wrong? the color of the skin have long been held as the cause of the injustice done the black man. But to keep up this agitation along those lines may prove detrimental to the interest of those we are so anxious to serve. an optimistic view of the not help but feel that the ar distant, when we shall all over the entire uni r true worth when the th and justice shall e door of opportunity man as well as the color of the skin ten, when the white the hand of the black 1: "Your people shall "and your God: My s and circumstances are somewhat anta should not indulge makes one narrow alize that there is sed by hostilities it we are human ke to be treated manner, despite be so pleasing od's handiwork, this Caucasian boast of and all others,ize this fact? man out of him that ned supreme The Chicago Defender. ery, and will take us to the realms above when we lie down to die. Yet the Negro in this Christian land is for ever dolging the blows from some uplifted hand. One cannot help but think that it is time to recall those missionaries from foreign shores, as we have abundant work at our own door. Can it be that this great race of people and its boasted supremacy are still groping in the dark? Can it be that our most learned scientist, our most skilled surgeons, our most eminent physicians have failed to establish the fact that the black man is constructed on the same basis as the white? and that he experiences that same degree of pleasure or pain that the white man does? This is a problem far more complexing than the so called negro problem. But if it is firmly established in his mind that all men are constructed on the same plan: Then why is it that the black man is made to suffer such almo-st unachievable outrages? When the chains fell at the poor despised black man. And he stood unfettered and free, he was still an object for pity and compassion, poor man he had yet to realize the great overwhelming responsibility of self-reliance and self-sustenance. "Was it for humanity's sake or for some other unknown reason that no hand ruthlessly tore aside the curtain that hid from view the dark uncertain future? That no word was spoken to marr his first breath of freedom? That was so new, so delightful?" Who can tell? In the exuberance of his joy he fell upon his knee, he blessed father Abraham Lincoln, he praised his God. Little did he think that after years of struggle, misery and pains, that the mist would again descend and threaten once more. "Oh the misery?" The misery it was in "When we think of John Brown, who yielded up his life for the cause of the black man, when about to ascend the scaffold, reached down and taking a little negro babe from its mothers arms, kissed it, and with a smile on his face that was beautiful to behold, convinced us that he had not only faith in his God, but that his God was with him. And at times when the mist seems thickest, and the clouds are lowering. When the gloom seems inpenetrateable, I feel like stretching forth my hands to the spirit of that grand, to the man. And exclaim, "Oh John Brown reveals your God." The clubs Roster as follows—Mrs. J. E. Wright, Mrs. Margaret Johnson, Vice President Mrs. Edd Ferrel, Treasurer: Mrs. A. W.

Payne, of Kansas City, Heads the New Organization's Next Meeting, February 28th, at New Orleans, La. Another baseball league was added to the already long list of organizations that call Chicago their headquarters when the Negro National Baseball League adopted a circuit of eight cities yesterday at a meeting held at 5324 State street. The new League selected Beauregard F. Moseley as its temporary chairman, and Felix H. Payne, of Kansas City, Mo., as temporary secretary. The eight towns that were represented at yesterday's meeting and that will probably be the ports of call of the Colored association, were Chicago, Louisville, New Orleans, Mobile, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kan., and Columbus, Ohio. Under the suggested plans of the League it will incorporate in Illinois with $2,500 capital, each club paying $300,000 for its franchise. Other resolutions that went through were to have at least half of the umpires Colored men and pay them $5,00 a game; to establish a black list of players who may jump a reserve list to be agreed upon by the clubs at the next meeting; to limit the League to one franchise in each city. A lot of informal discussion was indulged in at the meeting, among other points brought out being that a Chicago capitalist had offered to finance the League heavily if it needed support. Outside representatives present at the meeting when Moseley called it to order were Tobe Smith, of Kansas City, Kan.; Frank Walker, of New Orleans, La.; Felx H. Payne, of Kansas City, Kan., other clubs being represented by proxies, held by local Colored ball fans. The League elected an executive committee to wind up all details and accept applications from cities desiring to get in the League which will meet in New Orleans some time during Mardi Gras week not later than Feb. 15. The committee consists of B. F. Moseley, Chicago; Felx H. Payne, Kansas City, and Frank Walker, New Orleans. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Watch night service Saturday.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1910 WHEN IN THE LAST DAYS OF DEPARTING YEAR WE LOOK BACKWARD AND SEE THE BODIES OF 200 HEROES LYNCHED AND 5000 INNOCENT GIRLS RUSHED INTO MOTHERHOOD BY OUR SOUTHERN WHITE FRIENDS, WE MOURN AND HIDE OUR FACES IN SHAME AT A GOVERNMENT, THE GREATEST THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN WHICH WOULD PERMIT SUCH CRIMES TO BE INSTITUTED IN HER DOMAIN. WE LOOK WITH SHAME UPON OUR CHURCHES FOR NOT RAISING A DESENTING VOICE; AND WE LOOK WITH SHAME ON AMERICAN PRIESTS WHO AT NO TIME DURING A LYNCHING HAVE THEY TRIED TO STOP THE MOB OR OFFER A PRAYER FOR THE LYNCHED. WHILE OTHERS OF THE RACE REJOICE, AND GLOTE OVER THEIR SUCCESS, WE HUMBLY BEG GODS MERCY ON THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ITS CITIZENS.

THE SLAVE-HOLDER IS NO MORE. Sumner Relegated Him, But He Is Trying to Rise Again; His Sons Find Access to West Point, Our Naval School, and in Congress, Yet the Black Man Can't Ride on a Street Car in the South. By Wm. Monroe Trotter. It has been proposed to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Charles Summer, and to that end the N. I. P. League, from the office of its corresponding secretary, 21 Cornhill street, Boston, Mass., the following appeal has been sent out: "Appeal to Colored Americans Particularly and to all other Americans. "Friday, January the sixth, 1911, is the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Charles Summer, for twenty-three years a member of the United States Senate, during the critical days for this Union from 1851 till 1874. We appeal to our fellow countrymen to celebrate with appropriate exercises his centenary. "To no son more than to Sumner does this Republic owe its preservation as a free country, to none more its rescue from the blasting blight and national blot of human slavery. At first standing almost alone in the Senate, he thundered against the iniquity of slavery until it was abolished. Willingly he suffered the almost living death caused by the mighty attack he made upon this sin, and by his sufferings multiplied its enemies. After slavery was abolished he was foremost against its recrudescence in new forms. Noble service he rendered his Republic as advocate of equality of rights. He was a moral giant, a great statesman, noble crusader against caste, true American, defender of humanity—philanthropist. He belonged not to Massachusetts alone but to the Union. Now the whole country owes him homage. Only by loyalty to his tenet of democracy that 'Equality of Rights is the First of Rights,' can the perpetuity of free institutions be assured. "In every city, town and hamlet let those Americans of Color to secure liberty, citizenship, the ballot and lastly, civil equality, for whom he labored, prepare to honor his memory in public meeting on January sixth, 1911. He died with these words on his lips: 'Don't let them kill my Civil Rights Bill.' Honor his memory all the time, as he cares for whom he gave his genius and his life to make this a real Republic, a company he should be equal under the law without distinction or race, creed or color, in very truth, the land of the free. "Let every church in the land have a memorial-service on Sunday, Jan- jury. 1st, 1911, for this - Christian statesman." Per order of the President, Bishop Alex. Walters, New York, N. Y. issued December 16, 1910. THE WAITERS UNION. Lincoln Memorial Center has opened its doors to the waiters of the city hold their bed in the interest of their contemplating idea of forming a Union to further their interest. The Defender feels that this is a step in the right direction, but advise that they get sober fair minded educated men to be at the head. Did you know that the hotel proprietors are canning Negro headwaiters. The Beach Hotel for instance says a Negro has not got sense enough to be a head waiter, it is said; and they have sent to Cork, Ireland, for a head waiter and made the second waiter a Colored man. With a union you can demand a mix crew and in this way you will get justice without it, you will get the dope you have always gotten. Suppose we had separate school in Chicago do you think our children would be as far advanced as they are today. Then this will apply to the working man, the hotel keeper is playing a card when he can keep the Colored and white waiter in separate hotels, but gentlemen, when you get together and fight side by side for one case or you will never have success. The case will meet every Friday evening at 9 o'clock to discuss their future plans. A Defender Reporter will be on hand to assist in spreading the news and let the Negro Waiter is as progressive as the Foreigner who come to these shores. The success of the Union if formed depends on a mix crew in all hotels, if the white man and the black man are civilized and are educated then they can form their Union work together and gain victories that they could not gain otherwise; look gentlemen at the post-office system, do you wish to see a better feeling than exist among these educated men, make the waiters Union like the Post Office and you will find that the proprietors of these hotels will stop bulldozing our white and black working men, if you are white and want a raise, he will tell you he will put blacks in your places if you are black he will tell you he will put whites in your places, but if you are together, he will have to get Japanese to do the job, and you know the result. The meeting last night was a great success at Lincoln Memorial Church, n. e. corner Langley and Oakley aves. WHAT OUR SUBSCRIBERS SAY ABOUT THE CHICAGO DEFENDER.

PLEA OF THE PULLMAN FORTEKS Want Money Enough Only To Support Their Families Without Catering To Public Tips. In the contention of a plea recently made by the Pullman porters there seems to be much actual truthfulness of foundation. They spend many days from home and often in places where they are obliged to go hungry. They live on a salary of less than any laboring man but have families and children to support which expenses must be met by the incidental tips from public traveler, however uncertain. The plea then has been justifiable and if the executives of the company could see into the homes of some of the poor porters who have large families it could readily be seen, that the situation is imperative. The public has hitherto thought that Pullman porters get a salary that would suit them family but each day has so remotely reached the fact that they do not make enough to keep a large family in bread until public sentiment and exposure of the true condition of their servitude has made them blushingly sensitive and ashamed of their job. There is much that a porter has to endure as he has to be gifted in rendering good service. The travelling public must know that these men work 24 hours a day and that a rich railroad company should no longer try to elect their services for practically nothing. There contention is for $45.00 per month and $50 for men who have been in service over 5 years. This plea which is a just one should be immediately recognized. THE DEARBORN DINNER CLUB The Most Exclusive In Chicago You Must Be Voted Upon To Even Get a Meal. The reporter of the Defender in company with a reporter of the American call at 3544 Dearborn street to run down some important matter he other day when they were confronted at the above number, big Mr. Robert L. Hall, keeper of the outer door, and shiner of silved who said, unless you give me the pass you cannot enter, but we are on business; then came a voice from the keeper of the inner door Mr. Chas. McRenolds, and dish cloth holder, who said to the keeper of knives and forks, Mr. Oscar De Priest, shall they enter. When Mr. Lester L. Henderson, keeper of polisher of cut glass said neigh, neigh we are about to cut a Christmas cantalope for the president, Mrs. R. A. Williams and therefore no strangers can enter the enchanting doors of this emotional dining room. Capt. Benj. E. Pinkney, speaking in behalf of the press turned to Mr. Montrose W. Rankins, the national root worker and keeper of hoo doo. Things said if the strangers will be permitted to have their snailers stopped they may enter, but begged for the crumbs to the table; after rising vote admitted hlem and found that they have monopolized one of the finest private dining rooms and good cooking in the city. Application was made and several doctors but they cant by several captains and lieutenants took good overseerforce Williams was the only outside permitted during the holidays. The club is on a paying basis and are an independent lot. DR. E. R. ROBINSON LOSSES ONLY SON BY DEATH. End Came To Young Man In Michigan, Was At One Time a Risk University Student. The Doctor Will Build Vault At Mt. Glenwood For Family. Dr. E. R. Robinson, of 3618 Vernon Avenue, whose only son died very recently, has ordered the construction of a concrete vault, to be built in his beautiful lot in Mount Glenwood Cemetery—the burying grounds that were opened to the people two years ago. The vault is to be seven feet long, five feet deep, three and one-half feet wide, with a sealed top two feet thick. The entire vault will be white enameled, and will preserve the body for an indefinite number of years. This will be one of the most beautiful and elaborate vaults of modern times. The doctor will bury his beloved son who died last Friday in this vault. The funeral which was to be held on Thursday was postponed until vault is ready. NICKEL SAVINGS BANK GOES UNDER. Could Not Stand Pressure—New Officers Did Not Take Charge—Depositors Will Not Lose All—May Reopen. Richmond, Va., Dec. 30.—The Nickel Savings Bank of this city, the second oldest bank organized here, the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, being the oldest , went in the hands of a receiver on last Wednesday. Mr. A J. Chewning, Jr., being named by Judge Grinnan for that position. The institution has been in bad financial condition for some time, due to errors for which the present officers are said not to be responsible. An effort was made to reorganize the corporation some time ago, and Mr W. Isaac Johnson was elected president. He did not qualify, however, and finally resigned. Would Not Take Charge. Attorney J. R. Pollard was elected cashier, but he also declined to qualify and then resigned. Both seemed to have scented trouble. This left the entire responsibility upon the shoulders of Dr. R. F. Tancil, the retiring president, and upon Rev. R. J. Bass, the vice-president and cashier. Mr. Roscoe C. Brown was assistant cashier. The liabilities are variously estimated to be from eight to ten thousand dollars. The institution has about ($27,000) twenty-seven thousand dollars on deposit and the assets lead to the hope that the depositors will not lose all of their earnings. If arrangements can be made, then the bank may pay dollar for dollar. Wanted to Save Depositors. The present officers did not deem it advisable to keep open longer in view of the present unfavorable outlook for the institution. This failure is especially unfortunate in view of the approaching Christmas holidays. The officers are determined to make strenuous efforts to reopen the institution if it can possibly be done, and have taken steps with this idea in view. IS SIG HART A JEW OR A WHITE MAN. Sig Hart in Judge Goodnow's court called Jack Johnson a liar and told him before he would pay him any part of a loan he would see him turn 7 shades blacker than he was and call him a dirty Nigger. The Judge reminded him that he was a Jew and he should be the last one to throw stones and told him if he did not eat his words and apologize to Mr. Johnson he would put him in Jail for 1 year. Mr. Hart did. Then the Judge told him to remember that a Negro in America, at the North any way is as much of a gentleman as he was and the next time he made such remarks, to a citizen, he would see if he could not get him imported back to Russia. LINCOLN MEMORIAL. Congregational Church, 3032 Wabash avenue, (Douglas Centre) Morning worship 11 o'clock. Bible school, 12:30. All are cordially invited to attend these services. Rev. George W. Camp (Pastor.) The most beautiful sight of the Xmas occurred at the Appomato Club on Monday afternoon when 100 neatly dressed children, chaperoned by the Messrs. M. C. Cowan, America F. Brown and B. A. Woodard, had a Christmas tree and dancing party. It was with much difficulty the boys were induced to dance, and they soon found out that they would not dance unless they were first knocked down to the girls. After that things went PRICE 5 CENTS 5,000 ATTEND BALL Knights of Pythias Makes Sweep Stake in Ball Attendance, Greatest Gathering of Any In Years. Nothing But Two Steps, Waltzes and Scottisches Abound Through the Evening. The Ladies Costumes We're the Finest Yet Seen at a Public Ball. The Christmas ball of the Knights of Pythias on Monday evening was one of the 47 variety and there was nothing short about the ball, but the fish pond in the south west corner of the hall, which was perfectly dry and only one fisherman, on its bank, the owner. Aside from that the hall was one maze, 3,875 toled the bell on the turnstiles until it got so hot it melted away. The greatest excitement was at the ticket box where Col. F. B. Powell and Capt. Geo. Duncan, sold tickets. P. T. Barnum ticket sellers would have to apply for a waiters job if these were to make application to sell the circus tickets, it was just like eating candy, and they sold some tickets, just making change from $100 to $90. 25 and selling to parties of from 1 to 10, and answering questions as to whether Mr. or Mrs. so and so arrived yet, and whether my husband had his full uniform or felegue, and the like, but these questions did not faze the men that the sage of the Knights placed in the box. They are the ones that saved the evening and piled up dough that closed and paid all expenses at the door. Sergita W. P. Johnson and Jas. S. Snow, like two sentenals stood at the door with drawn swords and saw to it that knighthood was respected by requesting all comers to leave their tickets with them which they did gratefully. The grand march, the dress parade, the decorations and the 8th Regiment Band and its leader, Wm. Berry, were high 5 the praises of the 500 representative of the religious who occupied boxes on the entire east side of the hall with the band in the center. These boxes sold for $200.00 and two box was taken, the night before the Jewish charities, who were not seated, but left the hall just as they used. The ladies outdid the men in matter of dress and strange to that although they will stand on corners and speak about their dressing, they have never yet come up to the standing of the ladies. M. of them have decided to attend the charity ball and it seems reasonable to predict these two balls will be the greatest of the year. Maj. R.

CLUBS AND SECRET SOCIETIES. NEW OFFICERS FOR COURT GEN ROBERT ELLIOTT. Monday evening, Dec. 27, long before the hall doors were opened, groups of Foresters were in the hallway, down in the bowling alley, and in fact everywhere pulling wires and planning their trump card, but foxy Ike Smith was on to his job and he gave his instructions, and they were followed to the letter. After a strong fight the following officers were elected for the next six months: D. B. Hawley, Chief Ranger; F. V. Babb, Sub. Chief Ranger; F. W. Tailin, Fin. Sec.; R. J. Thomasson, Jr., Rec.

That Booker T. is way ahead of the game is explained by our reporter, who run down to Boston to visit his brother who is attending' Harvard Medical. When he passed along Tremont street he saw a big banner stretched across the front of the Temple telling of Tuskogee moving pictures. He dropped in and to his surprise saw the workshops, drill of the 'men and the whole school walking and working. The sight that struck him most was N. Clark Smith leading his band. The Defender will do all it can to have Tuskogee brought to Chicago after its run in New York City. Then our would-be leaders can see what makes Booker T. so great.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER PUB CO. 3159 State St. CHARITY BALL DRESSES TO BE ELECTRIC LIGHTED. To say that Mrs. Potter Palmer's ball will be put in the shade by the one at the Seventh Regiment most people would laugh and say, "Why, the ideal" but it will. So intense has been the discussion that several of the gentlemen have made wagers as to whose wife would look the best. In order to make good, M. L. D. Fields has gone to the trouble to have his wife's dress electric lighted, so that when the calcium lights strike it she will be in one big blaze. Mr. Paul J. Hur came to the Defender's office to find out what he could do to offset this, so the Defender sent him to Mr. Peter P. Jones to have a picture taken by electricity on the way to the ball and have it appear in the paper; so he went and his wife's name appears first on a list of fifty to be photographed on New Year's night on the way to the ball. Mr. Jones has just installed the instrument this week and will open wide his doors at 3519 State street on that night to please you and your wife. SHORTNESS OF BREATH Some of its Causes—Treatment by Systematic Exercise. Respiration in health and under normal conditions or rest or moderate exercise is an unconscious act, almost as much as as digestion or the boating of the heart, but it is very easily disturbed, even in health, and in certain diseases its disturbance is often one of the most distressing symptoms. The short breath following violent exertion, such as running or hill climbing, is familiar to every one. It is due to the increased call for oxygenation of the blood and the temporary inability of the heart to pump the blood in sufficient volume through the lungs. When shortness of breath is brought about by moderate exercise or mental excitement it is due to some abnormal condition, such as anaemia, obesity, a weak heart or indigestion. Youth's Companion says. This tendency is relieved by attention to the weak point, whatever it may be, and a judicious system of exercise—a sort of modified training. Permanent shortage of breath or dyspnoea, as it is technically called, is a more serious affair, and is usually due to some actual disease. What the disease is of which the dyspnoea is a symptom can often be discovered only by a careful and thorough medical examination of all the organs of the body. It is often called asthma and treated at home by inhaling the fumes of burning nitre paper or by some other of the ordinary remedies; but asthma is a distinct disease, although its true nature is not yet definitely determined. It occurs in paroxysms, usually at night, in the intervals of which the breathing is generally easy and quiet. Permanent dyspnoea is another matter and is an indication of something wrong. It may be due to a great variety of causes, only a few of which can be mentioned here. Anaemia, or poverty of blood, may give rise to permanent dyspnoea, as well as to shortness of breath on exertion. The symptom is a regular accompaniment of diminished lung capacity, either through consolidation of more or less of the lung tissue in tuberculosis or pneumonia, or through compression of the lungs by an accumulation of fluid or air in the chest. Anything that interferes with the free action of the heart, such as weakness of the cardiac muscle or disease of the valves of the heart, pressure by fatty deposits, an enlarged liver or gas in the stomach, will produce shortness of breath. Short breath in children is commonly the result of obstruction in the air passages, caused by enlarged tonsils, the presence of plandial tissue in the pharynx, called adenoids, or a swollen condition of the mucous membrane in the larynx. Persistent shortness of breath is a symptom that should not be neglected. The Label Language "There's a language in hotel labels, the same as in stamps or flowers," said a courier. "All over Europe the hotel porters paste the hotel labels on your trunks in such a way that the porters in future towns will know what sort of a tipter you are. "Up at the top of the trunk the label means you are generous. In the middle it means you're a middling sort of down easy flow it means you are good." LELANDS TO MAKE LONG WINES Foster Will Pilot Ball Team on DII Trip of 9,072 Miles. When it comes to taking the educated base ball pilgrimage, put it on the Leland Giants. With Rube Foster at the front, the athletes will embark next spring on a cruise of 9,072 miles.

PREVENTION OF FLOODS Overflows in Missouri Cost Farmers $44,000,000 in Seven Years. One of the most prolific sources of loss and danger to the farmers of Missouri has been the annual floods of its large rivers, which overflow their banks every spring and ravage the most fertile lands in the state. According to the figures compiled by the State labor bureau these losses from floods have reached the enormous sum of $44,000,000 in the last seven years alone. According to the estimates of the United States engineers less than one-seventh of this sum would be sufficient not to riprap the banks and build levees high enough to keep the Missouri river within its banks during the entire year, but to establish a six-foot channel from Kansas City to its mouth. However, the vital interest of the farmers lies in safeguarding their lands from overflow. It is probable that the money included in the engineers' estimates for channel construction would be amply sufficient to cover the Osage, Gasconade and other rivers in the State. At any rate, the fact has been clearly demonstrated that the annual losses by floods are greater than the amount required to secure permanently the lands from overflow. This being the case, the Kansas City Journal says, it becomes a simple question of common sense methods to protect the river bottoms from overflow and thus save over $6,000,000 a year to their owners. It is reported that the farmers in the river countries are planning a series of meetings to consider ways and means to accomplish this result. In such an event it will only be necessary to follow the methods which have proved effective along the reaches of the lower Mississippi river, where thoroughly flood-proof levees have been built by the cotton and sugar planters by their own unlaid efforts. These planters formed levee districts and taxed themselves in proportion to the production of each owner's plantation. Some such method would undoubtedly solve the difficulties confronting the Missouri farmers. Trees in English Town. The trees in the streets form a special feature of Folkestone, England.

Pleadings to We in English After 1918—Lawyern Unpeepared. Ne eee In 1901, during the public sesston of the Philippine commission on the code of civil procedure, as drafted by Commissioner fde, there was warm and prolonged debate on the subject of the language to be employed in court proceedings, the New York Trib- une says. The small but influential group of American attorneys then practicing In Manila urged the adop- tion of English; they pointed out that English had been made the official language of the executive and legisla- tive departments, that the schools were to give all instructions in Eng- lsh, that the number of Filipinos who know Spanish is comparatively insig- nificant and finally that the islands are under the sovereignty of an Eng- lish-speaking people. “The force of these arguments was conceded,” says the Manila Times, “but it was pointed out that the immediate adoption of English as the language of the courts would have the effect of disqualifying in great part the Filipino lawyers, who had as yet not had opportunity to study the language. ~ “AS a compromise the code finally provided that Spanish should be the medium of judicial pleading and pro- cedure until 1906, when English should ‘Tho dudes are who can't find enough coat “and snow to shovel at. thelr own homes, xo have to 0 down on Wabash avenue to help others. ‘The “Stamping Ikids" are who never have a nickel “untit the “ghost” walks ‘Then they don't last ong, Better let oth- er people's nickels alone.

The avowed purpose was to give the Filipino judges and lawyers ample time to learn English. As might have been expected, hardly one of the native lawyers undertook seriously the study of English until the time drew near when the change was to ‘take place, and then they set up the same old plaint—that they would be deprived of their means of livelihood, |The law was amended to postpone the change to 1911. In the last session of ‘the assembly, on the same argument, /@ bill was passed providing for anoth- er five years respite, but this was modified by the commission so that the date now stands at 1913. “In the meantime the law depart. ‘ment of Santo Tomas and the several private lay schools are giving instruc. tions in Spanish only, the native law- yers are not learning English and the courts will be no better prepared for the change in 1913 than they were in 1906. We have a judiclary of whom the majority are Americans, we train ‘the children in the schools to speak English, we have repeatedly declared the policy of supplanting Spanish by ‘English as the common language of the islands. And our court proceed- ings are still in Spanish, There is no reason for it but procrastination, the tropic tendency to take the easier im- mediate course without thought of the future difficulties.” CHRISTIAN” ENDEAVOR "BRAYER MEETING “- TOPIGS; 1909, Ss ty th dk tee 1.

Negulated by Profexstonal Authority Except in the Case of Spectalintn. The specialists must be divided into two distinct classes—the surgeon proper and the pure physician. The former unquestionably gets big fees In ratlo to bis reputation. Sir Frederick ‘reves has only to name his fee to the millionaire with appendicitis, With the fear of death before his eyes he will write his check gladly. When he has recovered he will often grum- ble if he does not boast. A younger and less knowa man will perform the same operation for a tithe of the cost, but the public, with death staring them iw the facer-will have the man with the big name regardless of ex- pense. fi But the pure physician {fs an entire ly different matter, His fees are stand- ardized not by act of parliament, but by that autocratic body, the Royal Col lege of Physicians, His fees for con- sultation at his own house are fixed at 2 guineas the first vislt and a guinea for eaca subsequent one. For consultation away from home he re- celves a fee at the calculated rate of two-thirds of a guinea a mile. Elstree, twelve mile» out of town, Is ipso facto 8 guineas; Liverpool (201 miles) 1s 134 guineas aud s0 on: pro rata. But it must be’ remembered that nowadays ‘all the big provincial cen- ters have their own specialists -and the town man is very seldom sent for unless he be one of the very biggest mames and the case desperate and rieh. . If the physician should accept more he ‘transgresses that professional fetich, “medical etiquette," and is branded ai quack ,by his less lucky drethren. Moreover, when he arrives ‘ata ‘sufficlent standing in the ranks ‘of hia profession the Royal College of Physiclans will not elect him to their all4mportant fellowship, the crowning ‘qualification’ of, high: water mark ‘of ‘ls calling—London Mall.

The young women knocked one of the men down. It is a shame that some of our young folks can't get along without fighting. The young men's dancing club had a fine time, but it all ended in a fight. What will happen next? The entertainment given at the Masonic Hall Monday night, Dec. 26th, by the S. M. T. S.—U. B. F.'s was a success. A large crowd was present and everybody had a fine time. Mr. E. J. Burns and his entire company gave a fine show at Masonlo Hall Tuesday night. The entire company made good, and in spite of the rain a large crowd was present. VILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE I've just been down to Toyland. Of dolls and jumping jacks And woolly lams and railroad trains And trolley cars and stocks, Of old-fashioned mobos There seems to be no end. It's fun to visit Toyland, though You've nothing much to spend. Just think of aeroplanes that fly As slick as Wilbur Wright, Although, so far as I'm concerned, I shouldn't risk a flight. And think of auto cars that chug like rockets running? And some that seem to run as fast, Almost, as Louis Strang. And there are dolls so wondrous wise That when they start to speak You wonder if they'll spout a lot Of Choctaw, French or Greek. And there are muley cows so smart, With bides as fine as silk, That they will use to do They'll give you sure 'nough milk, -Dirrighmng Age-Herdal. Ready For the Worst.

All I know is that she blew about four hours too soon and 'twas something wicked. "Now, dynamite is very weird stuff," he continued. "You don't know just what it will do, and we have accidents right along—can't seem to help it. The more I know about dynamite the more I find I don't know. "The worst scare I ever got, though, outside of being blown up myself, was when the president came through here on an inspection car. Orders had been given to have all switches spiked, all loaded holes fired and no more to be loaded. All powder was to be put back in the magazines and locked up. "All was fine as frog's hair as far as Empire, when I happened to look up, and there was a fool nigger sliding down the cut right in front of the car with a fifty pound box of dynamite on his head. He didn't even know where he got it, but anyway he dropped it. "Well, sir, I expected to see that inspection car and the high and mighties and the president of the United States just disappear, but they didn't.

It is related that one day a very voluble lady took her daughter, who was ill, to see him. "Which of you wants to consult me?" said Abernethy. "My daughter," replied the elder woman. Abernethy then put a question to the girl. Before she had a chance to reply her mother began a long story. Abernethy told her to be quiet and repeated his question to the girl. A second time the woman began a story, and a second time he told her to be quiet. Then she interrupted him a third time. "Put your tongue out," he said to the mother. "But there's nothing the matter with me," she exclaimed. "Never mind. Put your tongue out," he commanded. Toroughly overawed, the woman obeyed. "Now keep it out," said Aberneth. And he proceeded to examine the girl—Ladles' Home Journal. The Critic. They were looking up at the noble figure of Justice that adorns the court-house.

When the guests were seated the host bent his head and began speaking in a subdued tone. "Eh, what's that?" demanded Blobbs, who sat beside him and who is rather deaf. The host smiled patiently and began again in a louder voice. "Speak a little louder; I don't catch what you say." Blobbs persisted. A low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with embarrassment, raised his voice still higher. The poor old man did his best to hear, but failed. "What did you say?" he demanded frasclibly. The host cast him an angry glance. "Dang it, I'm saying gravel" he yelled. —Tit-Bits. No Justice In This. Cook-Yez can't expect me to stay here for $60 a month. Master-And why not, pray?

Carolina 4 Turns 'Em Away at the Mongram. Monday was a great holiday for the opening of a new show at the Monogram. Manager Kline who seems to have grasped the idea of what the management of a theatre really is, and cause to be glad, but sorry to see the people turned away. There was no mistake about real enjoyment when the Carolina 4 walked upon the stage to close the show with a riot: they sang and danced with great rapidity and their comedy work was of a high refreshing order when it comes down to genuine darky humor. They shot craps to rag time music that was highly operatic in flavor and female specialties of the bass show; greatly the perfection of the amusements of the uneven size of the big skirt tenor and the little miget of a baritone who mounted his man to redeem his money in the craps game. Miss Bessie La Belle a female baritone was a nice innovation of song which gave ample satisfaction. She is a handsome woman and her gestures added much flavor to her artistic worth. White and Barton who opened the bill easily managed to hold the attention of everybody. The comedian is a good dancer and all they will need to is keep on improving. Billy B. Johnson, who was to make his first appearance from the big time had to be a great comedian and the indisposition of his wife. Their place was taken by Truell and Fuller a white team which managed to please and was therefore acceptable. The orchestra which was augmented by the first appearance of Prot. W. C.

Christmas day has come and and the offerories of that day evening are still fresh in the of those who attended the sacc- vices prepared for the different us. It was the last hallowed of the old one hundred of a for the trumpet horns of to- forewarn and bring us glor- ions of to-morrow, the revolu- tion and Happy New Year. became token of Christmas shared celebration, which A.

Amid the changing, of spot, lights and the coaching of a noisy audience by art to sit quiet and comfortable is what we saw and what Miss Able Mitchell was able to do at the Grand as a wonderful accomplishment in messages of song that entranced her audiences at every performance. Twilight which is now old, but worthwhile if only to hear Miss Mitchell sing those fascinating lines. "I'm Watching and Cutting for You," and all I can say is that she can sing it and "Rubber Bob McMouth which brought her old repertoire into play for the last time we hope in favor of a fresh one. If she continues to do that she will be able to come back as often as necessary. She was in good voice and won heavy applause. Bandanna Land Quartette was a welcome feature as their act has been improved upon both in vocal and comedy regulation. The Kolored Kandy Kids did other miracles besides throwing candy out in the audience. They are the craziest dancers, yet seen on the avenue and their act is well regulated and is decidedly clever and capable. Webb and Gillam did well in a case of getting by as professionals who change partners too often, and even as good performers, are often compelled to hold the stage on the merit and strength of their nerve, until their act gets broken in. Deas Reed & Deas at the Casino. When the new Casino theatre at North Clark and Kinzie street opened up for Christmas, they needed a good spicy act to cut funny capers, sing and dance and look good in the bargain and in order to make sure of such an attraction Deas, Reed and Deas were selected as headliners and they had a strong bill of white perforation to work after, but in spite of that, the actress was in sitting a riot. The Casino is a very pretty Little theatre and Manager Schlesinger can be justly proud of its interior. Irvin C.

Dudley Tr. will not try to wear his father pants ahead of season. To have a kid singing from the orchestra reduces the value of a legitimate show to the rank of a burlesque performance. I was much mortified a few weeks ago when I saw the Dudley kid climb into the taxicab to go to the Booker T. Washington banquet. When we arrived at the Dumas Hotel, I asked Mr. Dudley if we hadn't better leave the kid upstairs, before going into the banquet room. Dudley made such things. It revolts me, but I do it. When I introduced the kid to Dr. Washington, I was very much embarrassed. I knew the place for a child of tender years is right in bed dreaming of play in the kindergarten. Christmas Spirit.
