The Defender's Cartoon. The Defender cartoon has been a source of great joy to all the citizens of Chicago and as well to the officers of the Y. M. C. A., for at their banquet at the Auditorium on Wednesday night our cartoon was thrown on the screen before the 200 or more officers of the entire city, which include all their branches and they greeted it to the echo Mr. Wm. H. Clark, team No. 4, td how he and several members took the Defender and exhibited the cartoon and in every case they collecte and he says that afternoon he alsed over $210.00. Mr. Messer he general secretary of the Y. M. C. says it was one of the greatest cartoons ever published in behalf of the Association. The Banquet.

Mr. Washington, in his reply to Mr. Harris, said as follows: After considering the whole matter carefully, I am of the opinion that you could best help the Colored people of Chicago through alding to establish and operate a branch of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Silby said that he considered the endorsement of Booker T. Washington, the greatest compliment ever paid the Y. M. C. A. We will not say more on the subject, the pictures of the last supper and the cartoon of this week will read better than anything our reporters could say on the subject. The following letters and press comments will give you an idea as how the outside world feels toward the Negroes of Chicago. Every big man and all the small men of every race have tried to have his name written in the movement in order that in future years the world would know it was god that he had lived at that time. Press Comment on Y. M. C. A. YOUNG NEGRO CHRISTIANS. Every effort to increase the membership and usefulness of the Young Men's Christian Association for Negroes is worthy of praise and support. Under more modern methods of management the association—whether composed of white or Colored—is recognized as a most potent factor for good in every community. As an element in the uplift of the race, the movement for the increase in membership and efficiency of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association is most promising, helpful and hopeful.—The Chicago Evening Journal. DOING SOMETHING FOR THEM- SELVES. Mr. Booker T. Washington, in an address he once made before the crowded congregation of an Afro-American church in Chicago said: "The trouble with the Northern Negro is that he demands from the white people around him a measure of respect that he is unwilling to giv himself. Before he can hold the position to which he is fairly entitled, he must show himself worthy of it by doing something for himself." It was simple enough gospel. It is preached to all of us, white or black from our school days up. But it seemed to make an especially de-impression upon the Negroes who heard Mr. Washington speak. They evidently felt that it had a particular element of truth in its application to themselves. Herein, as we see it, is an indication of the real importance of the successful close of the ten-day campaign for a Negro Y. M. C. A., building. Men outside their own race—Messrs. N. W. Harris, Julius Rosenwald and Cyrus H. McCormick—gave generously to the building fund. But the burden was placed upon the Negroes of raising $50,000 in ten days from the Colored people of Chicago. A team of young men raised $60,000 within the limit set, a feat that is as surrising as any recent public event. Now comes the opportunity for the development which Booker Washington suggested. The Chicago Negroes have "done something for themselves." They have taken an important step upward in the estimation of the community in which they live. They can go still further by taking full advantage of the character building machinery that lies in an active Y. M. C. A.-The Chicago Evening Post. THE NEGRO Y. M. C. A. The establishment of the Negro Y. M. C. A. is now assured through the initial generosity of Julius Rosenwold, N. W. Harris, and Cyrus McCormick, supplemented by the intelligent liberality of the Negro public itself. Both the city and its Negro citizens are heartily to be congratulated on this event. The Negro Y. M. C. A. The Tribune predicts will be honorably heard from. It should be a valuable addition to those social influences which Chicago as a wideawake and purposeful community is multiplying and expanding year by year. The problems of youth are the problems of society. To provide a wholesome and constructive expression of the energies of young men is to make good men and good citizens and that is what "constitutes a state." The difficulties and limitations of the Negro are more numerous if not essentially more serious than those with which any other group has to deal. All the more reason then that they should be rightly encouraged directed, and supported. The white citizens whose broad public spirit has induced them to help so substantially to this end, and the negro citizens who have joined them so promptly and liberally, deserve the thanks of the who's city. It is an inspiring accident in the manifold activities of an in- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1911 A NECESSITY WON A NECESSITY WON Y.M.C.A. MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE. I HAVE MADE GOOD.

Chauncey Depew of New York Speaks in Defense of His Fellow Citizens While His Country Is Asleep. SPARE THE DEFENDERS OF THE FLAG. Japan Will Have an Ally in the Negro if We Don't Stop Pressing Him to the Wall—Give the Negro Full Citizenship and Stop Monkeying. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 20th—Senator Depew of New York, has raised an interesting point in his objections to the joint resolution pending in Congress for the submission of an amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. The Senator declares that the adoption of the amendment in its present form would repeal the Fourteenth Amendment and allow the Southern states to proceed with their plans for the disfranchisement of the Negroes. The joint resolution fixes the qualifications of electors to vote for the United States senators in these words: "The electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for the electors for the most numerous branches of State legislatures." Senator Depew holds that this leaves the State free to fix the qualifications of the voters for the United States Senators without reference to the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees the Negro the right of citizenship and franchise. Color is lent to Senator Depew's point by the fact that when he offered an amendment to the resolution providing that the qualifications of electors for United States Senators and Congressmen shall be uniform in all states, and that Congress shall make laws to see that voters are properly counted and registered the Southern Senators voted as a unit against the amendment, as did the Republican members, but Depew and one other. The question raised by Senator Depew is one that demands the most thorough and intelligent consideration before final action is taken. However emphatic the sentiment and demand in favor of election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people we believe the proposition would be rejected if its adoption would carry with it the endorsement of the disfranchising laws which the Southern States have enacted against Negro citizens.

Men and women sprang to their feet shouting and waving their handkerchiefs in a tumult of wild enthusiasm. It showed that in spite of all the efforts of Washington and his followers to quelch the spirit of liberty that some of the sparks still remained in the breasts of many people. Rev. Carrothers, pastor of Galbraith Methodist Church, Lawyer Ormon Scott and some others endorsed Mr. Morris in the general discussion which followed. Judge R. H. Terrell and Lawyer Cobb attempted to defend the Washington jim crow policy, but in rebuttal Mr. Morris riddled their arguments and made them both look cheap and feel cheap. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Walter Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, and on the platform were the pastors of many churches, leading Odd Fellows, Federal officials, lawyers, doctors, and prominent business men of the race.

Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 20.—Governor Wilson issued a long statement this afternoon condemning the Shelbyville mob of Saturday night. He says from reports the lynching was talked of to strangers before it occurred, and yet the Governor was not notified. He says if he had heard about it three hours before it happened, he would have prevented it if it took all the soldiers in the state. He regrets that the Governor of Kentucky does not have the power to remove county officers who fail to do their duty. He says he would remove the sheriff, the police chief and every other officer who had the power to warn the people if he had the power. MRS. WILLIAM BELL'S THEATRE PARTY.

MEXICO GIVES LAND To AMERI- CAN NEGROES, Mexico, Jaa. 20.—In an interview with the Secretary of the Interior Mr, J. H. Small of the Unitea States has succeeded in getting over tw and one-half million acres of and from the Mexican government where the ‘oppressed Negroes of the Unites States may find refuge. The Presi Gent assured” Mr. “Small that if they would bring into Mexico a fair rep. resentation of their educated classes a8 well as tradesmen, their countrs would be the Negroes. We are in need of educated farmers and sur Yoyors and all classes of professional people. It is better, he says, than going to Africa, for it is wear you native land in America. He also say’ there is nothing denied the Negro; every avenue of life is and will for ever be open to him, something which the American white people has de- nied you after you have fought thelt pattles for them and done everything in English subject would do for his ‘ountry. We are expecting from the tate of Kansas a party of Colored entlement to locate land for a party which will come in next fall. Ar. ngements will be made by the Mex- ican Commercial Club to give each family a round trip pass for three Fears after they have been in the ‘ountry a year and have made a erop a their farms.

They are-in every avenue of life they have fitted them- selves for, and above all, they are Ten, not Sams, Georges, Shines, Coons and the like. By 1912 we hope to have in Mexico over 500,000 Ne- groes from all the Southern states. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY CLUB, ‘The meeting of the Phyllis Wheat- ley Club was very well attended. Each memter present expressed their desire to do more for tlie home after hearing of its pressing needs. A thorough canvass will be made and each member will be expected to get busy bringing in money to be used for the pressing needs of the Home.

H. A. CREAM BY SILVESTER RUSSELL. 1930 A REVIEW OF THE WEEK. "Lost and Found" at The Pekin. There was certainly something doing at the Pekin last Monday evening when Jesse A. Shipp's stock company of star artists was greeted by a very large audience. The fact that audiences grow larger every week at this house is proof enough of the merit of the company and the genius of Mr. Shipp, America's greatest Colored playwright, in producing a new two-act comedy each week decidedly different in point of theme and with new music and scenery. "Lost and Found" is laid in a second-handed tailor shop, where a mysterious suit of clothes containing money sewed either in the jining of the coat, vest or pants, is hidden, afforded much merriment. The music which is arranged by Prof. Fred Buroch and George Balley, was very tuneful, and the chorus members were superb. There was a rehearsal scene at a lady's residence, enacted by Miss Mattle Mcntosh, whose natural simplicity is perfectly expressed in the reading of her lines. Here Allie Gillman, a young, legitimate comedian of considerable aptitude, introduced a burlesque on Vesta Victoria that was simply hilarious, and his earlier song, "The Man That Owns Broadway," was rated in the same class. Shelton Brooks, in a burlesque on Bert Williams, was also at high tide in the song, "I'll Lend You My Wife," and his dance was "Big Sensation" was fair, but Clarence Tisdale, a tenor singer with a voice of remarkable beauty, was out in "She's Miss Lottie Grady, who joked graceful and inward to be, sang 'Loving Kid' in a sweet and winning manner. The most pretentious number on the program was 'My Hero,' introducing Miss Fanny Wise, whose brilliant voice took the chorus obligato with great purity of sweetness, and the violin shading of Oliver Perry did much for this number. Charles Gilpin, as the Tailor, was the best actor in the cast, but Jerry Mills was acceptable, and Billy Johnson was as usual, very good, and his." "Dusky Musketeers" was a military song winner. The quartet singing by Gibbs, Elkins, Tinsdale and Coleman completed the work of a company of players that cannot be surpassed. The box office system at this house now seems to be satisfactory to its patrons, Manager Motts, who is no worse than white managers whose mistakes are quite as many but less prominent, has now become the past and every courtesy will hereafter be shown toward the patronage of the house. Sam J. Corker, Jr., now acting manager of this house, and Jesse A. Shipp, the greatest stage producer of the Negro race, gives every assurance of future success in every particular. When people in private life consider that their own mistakes are not exposed to the public, they should be willing to forget trifling differences past and rally to see real art as now presented at the Pekin. A Strong Bill at the Monogram. The Monogram is there with the goods again this week and the house was full, as usual, to see Wilson and Cumby in particular, who hold over from last week in a different act highly legitimate and laugh provoking. Burton and Criswell, in a somewhat new singing, dancing and original talking sketch, gave another treat that constitutes real performers. Mr. Burton told us dance numbers, but his ballad was good, and was encored, and Miss Criswell was too red in the face. Miss Eloise Johnson, a new cantatrices, something on the order of Abbie Mitchell, but a little over-effective at present, with decided success, her second number being the best. Hayden and Vaughn is with us again, both clever, which, of course, rendered their work satisfactory. Folies of the Stroll at the Grand. Joe Simms, whose work is always new and reliable, is giving us "Folies of the Stroll," a social session, introducing songs, jokes and dancing in a manner which ablides in the pleasanties of mirth. The comedians, and Martin, kept the end in a lively mood, by taking the singing were introduced by others. Miss Brady sang "Steamboat Bill." There were songs by two other ladies, but Miss Mitchell's song and dance was so short and that people could hardly realize it. Walker Thompson, who acted as conversationalist, excepting a minute dream, which lasted until Simms him up, was otherwise good. A young white dancer, as a connecting link, was also good, was left for the Joe Simms face to take a joke in a court room. Joe was a good judge and Thompson was a favorable lawyer and there was also a policeman. Patti Brown and the Umbrian Con The Umbrian Glee Club gave another one of their magnificent concerts at Bethel Church Tuesday evening, January 17th, under the conductorship of Edward C. Clissold, one of the few good white gentlemen who are striving to elevate the Negro race. The club ags its oldest repertoire of standard selections in perfect form and harmony. The appearance of Madam Anita Patti Brown made reached the finished art of Black Pearl, but her voice is the peer of all Colored singers of the present day. "Dost Thou Know That Sweet Land," from Ambrose Thomas "Mignon" and I Am Titania; Gift Sent From Heaven, and "Literary Taste," sang in languages, were all of incomparable vocal beauty which brought honor, an aplause and flowers to her feet. Harison Emanuel, a young violinist, although a little retarded in execution and uncertain by deviation of tone, was a master of both things a little later on. Mr. Lon Lella Smith a little distance from true and practical art, but a good dialect character reciter, gave abundance of pleasure Miss Gertrude Jackson and Mrs. Majors, wife of the physician, were the accompanists. . . . Mr. Sammy Stewart, the young pianist and composer, produced "The Heart of Happy Hollow" at the Dunbar Theatre, Columbus, Ohio, last Wednesday week, and was highly praised by the newspapers. Billy and Helen Morrison (Morrison & Washington) opened on the Orpheum time last week and made good in their singing, instrumental and comedy work. --- Deas, Reed and Deas were special added attractions at Castle Theatre, Bloomington, Ill., week of Jan. 8th. The Daily Bulletin spoke of them as follows: "A thunderous scream is the act of Deas, Reed and Deas, a Colorful troupe of three, which went like wildfire. They are really funny in their singing, dancing and talking stunts. This trio incidentally wore 'some clothes.'" Mr. and Mrs. Gass, of St. Louis, are the guests of Mrs. Clara Smith, 2709 Dearborn street. Mrs. Glass is said to be an expert whistler and will probably seek an engagement in the city.

The Chicago Defender is the paper with the big circulation. You should read the Chicago Defender if it represents your intellectual ideas, and if it gives expression to your moral ideals. But you should read it all the more if it does not, unless you wish to live in ignorance of what your neighbors are thinking and saying. If you are not so limited in your sympathies as to wish only to know one side of a subject, and that, your own, the Chicago Defender will please you. What son of men or women would be be if we refused to read anything with which we did not agree? The Chicago Defender will tell you "what the other half thinks." To sympathize with the world one must know the world. It is a voice, not an echo, which we need. An echo never takes us out of our sphere; a voice is fresh and has the charm of surprise; it gives us the stimulus of new sensations.

If the Chicago Defender brings you in contact with a phase of thought with which you are not familiar, it will be rendering you real service, it is by friction that the mind is brightened, monotony of thought is devitalizing. Unless the mind is constantly stirred, it will stagnate, the world has no use for men who move in a rut, use your mind and it will not rust, if you should subscribe. Remember thus it will never go out of its way to please you, the Chicago Defender must insist on being free to live its own life and to develop its own genius, if you do not like this, well and good. If you do, well and better. We shall try and make the Chicago Defender so helpful, so stimulating intellectually, so reliable, so independent of all fads and facades, so beautiful and clean in its tastes,iments that no educated Colored American home will be complete with out it.
