Carey Jubilant. Dr. W. D. Weatherford Writes Interestingly of the New Attitude Southern College 'Men Display Relative to Race Relationship. Hampton, Va., Oct. 18.—In the October number of the Southern Workman Dr. W. D. Weatherford gays: "The new attitude which southern college men are assuming toward the matter of race relationships is most encouraging. In the tolerant, broad-minded friendliness of the rising generation of college men lies the hope of the Negro race. Eighteen months ago the Young Men's Christian Associations in colleges in the South launched a movement for a definite study of this problem of the Negro, by white college men. Our most sanguine hopes did not lead us to believe that we would be able to get more than two thousand southern college men studying this question within the first year. In fact, so timid we were that at our student conference, where we gathered leaders from all of the colleges of the southeast, we planned to invite personally a group of more mature and broad-minded students to enter this study. We felt that if they became genuinely interested each man could go to his college and start a similar study group. We had no hope that we could secure more than fifteen or twenty men in this conference for this study. The Negro course was announced as one of the seven courses in the study of home and foreign missions, and what was our amazement when we found that more than one-third of the students in the conference enrolled in the class for Negro study. These men going back into various colleges so encouraged the study of this problem that during the term of 1910-11 we were able to enroll some four thousand college men in small groups in the study of this question. During the present college year of 1911-12 we have already enrolled some six thousand men. Thus it will be seen that in the last eighteen months ten thousand southern white college men have been giving some genuine study to the big problems that connect themselves with race relationships in the south." "Red Indians." In the same number F. G. Spek writes of a peculiar religious ceremony as follows: "The Beothuks of Newfoundland were called 'Red Indians' because of an annual ceremony which took place at Red Indian lake once a year. On this occasion all the members of the tribe assembled to be dyed red during a religious ceremony which consisted of dancing and ceremonial games lasting many days. The dye color was extracted from a kind of red root taken from the lake. The color lasted many months and was regarded as a necessary uniform, one might say, of the tribe. Children born during the year were brought to the ceremony and received their first coat color, after which, like grown-ups, they were kept colored with the red vee. The idea that this was a religious obligation appears from the fact that if the chief observed a man who washed some of the paint off he is considered to have broken a reous rule and was sent to water, he he was obliged to wash him free from the paint and ordered to renew it until the next cerey."

It is a subject of which Chicago may be proud, that we have an institution so thoroughly equipped, so up-to-date in its requirements and training for our young women, that it can be truly said our nurses, coming from Provident hospital, take rank with the best in the country. Aside from the graduation the principal feature of the entertainment will be the address of Mr. William Pickens of Talladega, Ala. Mr. Pickens is known far and wide as an orator of rare ability, combining philosophy, humor and pathos to the delight of his audiences. Those who have heard Mr. Pickens agree that among the younger men of our race he is easily the leader as an orator. A rare musical program has been provided. The public is cordially invited to be present. It should be a historic evening in the history of Provident. you defender. THE WO GREAT WEEKLY NEWSPA MODEL MAID'S PECULIAR PHILOSOPHY Servant Secured Under Sensational Circumstances . Discusses Perplex- ing Question. Miss Marie Cross, who was termed "a model maid" and selected out of a list of 152 applicants and employed by Mrs. C. B. Swain, 864 Sheridan road, Evanston, this week, is quoted on the "servant girl question" as follows: "Instead of being interested in a pleasant interior, the girls think only of saving enough money for a spring or fall outfit. As soon as they can buy it they put it on their back and walk out of the front door and never think of working again before they need clothes for another season." If Miss Cross talked as printed above she is evidently not familiar with the records of the thousands who have been "in service" in this country. If she is speaking of another race other than her own, the Chicago Defender has nothing to say. But if she is talking of maids of her own color we would like to remind her that they generally grow gray in the service of their employers if the MR. WILLIAM CHILDS.

Monday he was seen touring the stock yards, that night Mr. and Mrs. Casey witnessed "The Red Widow" at Cohan's Grand Opera, house, Tuesday was spent automobilizing around the city, while Wednesday was spent in Milwaukee.

Church Calls Recent Reform Movement "Devilment." "Any officials or associations that will drive undesirable characters from one section of the city and plant them in another are not doing reform work, but devilment." Rev. Roberts was addressing the morning congregation at his church, and it was a large one. During his interesting discourse he gave a severe jolt to the methods employed in the recent efforts to clean up the red light district. Speaking of the possible invasion of the colored residence district, he said: "We are threatened with a most dangerous condition. The incoming of the undesirables from any neighborhood is a menace to every respectable family. The great fault is the welcome that is sometimes given to these undesirables. "Let us stand as a mighty front and guard against the unlawful invasions of our home districts."

(Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 18.—It is by no means the certain that the Odd Fellows' Journal will move back to Philadelphia, although a resolution was adopted at the Atlanta meeting of the B. M. C., ordering that the change be made. The present editor, H. P. Slaughter, has developed a finely-appointed office here and has organized an office force who make their homes in this city. To break up and move this expensive plant to Philadelphia, for no other reason than to gratify a foolish whim, will prove to be a costly proposition and the thinking men of the order are impelled to ignore the command of the legislative body on the ground that it was issued hastily and without proper information on the subject. The issue will be threshed out at the next meeting of the subcommittee of management in Philadelphia in December. If Editor Slaughter's wishes are consulted, and it is likely that they will be, the Journal will remain here in Washington where it belongs.

D. Bell, Provident Hospital, Makes X-Ray Photo of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. [Special to The Chicago Defender. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 14. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, former Republican President of the United States, and candidate for the Presidency on the National Progressive ticket, was shot in the breast here tonight by a madman who told the police afterwards that he was John Schrank of 370 East 14th Street, New York, N. Y. With a 32-caliber bullet in his body Colonel Roosevelt went to the Auditorium and delivered his scheduled speech. Three physicians who made a superficial examination of the wound when he reached the Auditorium, agreed that he was in no immediate grave danger. At the conclusion of his address the Colonel was taken to the emergency hospital, where six physicians examined his wound. They found it impossible to determine the depth to which the bullet had penetrated, and it was decided to take an X-ray photograph. Life Saved by Alds. Colonel Roosevelt's life probably was saved by a manuscript of the speech which he delivered tonight. The bullet struck the manuscript, which retarded its force as it passed through into the flesh. The would-be assassin was prevented from firing a second shot by Albert H. Martin, one of Colonel Roosevelt's two secretaries. Colonel Roosevelt had just stepped into an a-tomobile, when the assassin pushed his way through the crowd in the street and fired. Martin, who was standing in the car with the Colonel, leaped onto the man's shoulders and bore him to the ground. Captain A. O. Girard of Milwaukee, who was on the front seat, jumped almost at the same time, and in an instant the man was overpowered and disarmed. Tuesday's Bulletin. Colonel Roosevelt hurt is a deep bullet wound of the chest wall, without striking any vital organ in transit. The wound was not probed. The point of entrance was to the right of and one inch below the level of the right nipple. The range of the bullet was upward and inward, a distance of four inches on the chest wall. There was no evidence of the bullet penetrating the lung, Pulse, 90; temperature, 99.2; respiration, 20; leucocyte count, 82 at 10 a.m. No operation to remove a bullet is indicated at present time. Condition hopeful, but wound so important as to demand absolute rest for a number of days. JOHN B. MURPHY, ARTHUR D. BEVAN, SCURRY L. TERRELL, R. J. SAYLE. Theodore Roosevelt is lying at the Mercy hospital this morning still carrying the bullet fired into his breast by John Schrank at Milwaukee Monday night, and fighting against what doctors concede is a serious injury. Throughout a day of countless examinations and consultations of the medical scientists at his side the wounded Colonel refused to take the attempted assassination seriously. He insisted upon eating heartily. He demanded admission for friends when the doctors had opposed his seeing them. 10 P. M. - The examination shows the condition of the patient is normal at present, and that there is no indication of sepsis in the wound or of pleural complications. Following is the official count: Temperature, 98.6; pulse, 84; respiration, 20; leucocytes, 6,400; polymorphonuclear neutrophiles, 74; general condition. _-amtly ato or ease at day than at any ad of John Schrank t his life in Milwau- aight.

While the gratifying news of the wounded candidate's improve- ment had much to do with the subtle change from doubt to cheer, shrewd observers insisted that the presence of those near and dear to the patient —Mrs, Roosevelt, Ethel, Mrs. Nichol- as Longworth and ‘Theodore Jr.—also had a great effect.

B, Church Review, published in Philadelphia, Pa., and the founder of the Institutional church and Social Set- tlement for Colored People in Chicago, spoke last night at the Institutional Chureh, 3825 Dearborn street, on “The Breaking Up of the Political Solidarity of the Negro.” Referring to the course the Negroes should pursue in the present presi- dential campaign, he said: “President Tatt, at the beginning of his adminis- tration, inaugurated an anti-Negro policy, in an effort to win the south, by declaring that he would not ap- point Negroes to offlee in any com- munity where such appointment was objectionable to the white people. He has openly declared for an inferior and distinct form of education for Negroes. He is equally particeps eriminis with Col, Roosevelt in the Brownsville affair, “Door of Hope” Closed. Col, Roosevelt also is now trying to win the south at the expense of the Negro. He has closed the “door of hope” and bisected “the square deal” for the Negro, in flat contradic. tion to the high profession of his platform. For the first time in Amer- ican polities, he has attempted to array the northern Negro against. the southern Negro, to bribe the Negro vote where it fs free and exclude it Where it will win him white support. | Knowing Mr, Roosevelt's personality as we do, we predict that in the event that the present contest for the presi- dency is thrown into congress, he wil bring this nation to the verge of civil war; or will cause such social and political disorder as to pave the way for the dictatorship which he seems to plan. Roosevelt is not our “man on horseback," he walks in the robes of a priest of righteousness to disguise his purpose to seize the reigns of the seats of power, Is Against Both Taft and Roosevelt. Heretofore the Negroes have held the Republican party as sacred as thelr religion. By their vote they have kept it in power, ever looking for it to usher in the political millennium. Tt has failed. From President Hayes to President Tatt, it has sought to win the sontiern democracy at the ex -penso of the Negro. It is high time that the Negro vot- ers of the north were learning polit feal wisdom, ‘They should no longer continue to live and work in the south aud fight the south politieally. Instead of permitting either Mr. Tat or Roosevelt to use them as an object of barter and trade in dealing with the southern wing of the Democratic party, the Negroes should come to the front and deal with these people directly, If there {s apy political ad vantage to be gained We should reap the benefit ourselves, Wilson Only Hope. There is nothing in the character or career of Gov. Woodrow Wilson, which, so far as the Negroes are con cerned, does not more commend him than either Taft or Roosevelt. ‘The old war cry of the Republican party has lost its rallying power; the new war ery of the Progressive party is a mockery and a sham. In this cam paign, confused and bewildered as. we are, the Democratic party is the Nogro's safest city of refuge, If reassurance were needed so far as the Negroes of Chicago and Illinois are concerned, Carter H. Harrison the first and Carter H. Harrison the second were both Democrats. When they were mayors of Chicago the col: ored peopte enjoyed the privileges on the fire department and on the police force. At that time the Negroes Stood as a solid wall against. the Democratic party. In this day of clearer visions should we not rally to the support of Wilson and Mar shalk, . ‘An Appeal From Alabama.

Have you made up your mind to go to night school. If not, why not? Our white brother is trying all sorts of stunts to get Jack Johnson's gold dust, but Jack is wise. When Alf. Anderson comes marching home with his little wife. Oh! what a joy at Provident. Col. Roosevelt may rest in peace now. His greatest enemy is his own race and not the Negroes as he is supposed to think. Jas Lewis has Chicago in his sket, the key of our gates tiled 'king-cane and the children, as it were, are strewing about him. Say, It's great to olonel. Colored Democrats are growing, are growing faster in Chicago than in any other city in the United States. If Mayor Carter H. Harrison continues to elevate the Negro the whole population will be Democrats. The Negro will fit himself in somehow. Now comes Dr. Bell with his X-ray on ex-President Roosevelt. The big dailies tried to rob him of his honor but the Defender was on the job and has told the world of the frame-up. Well! well a lieutenant. Chicago is the heaven for the race, let us guard our interest with a keen eye, our southern brother when he comes here, he must respect our laws and must not forget himself because of his freedom. Quite a sensation was created at the Standard Literary Society on last Sunday afternoon by Mr. H. C. Fox, the society journalist, who declared that he had made a new discovery. He claimed that because a person died happy it was no indication that they were-saved. He said that suffering would cause a patient to welcome death and yet the soul to be lost. Educate your boys and girls; that is the only way that they will be recognized. Don't pay attention to the bugaboo that you must have white blood in your veins, for it's a lie; you see white men and women dally who are not educated, almost begging in the streets. So forceful has this white man buying our women that in many parts of this country that even the colored ministry has and its still winking at the acts of the white man buying our women for the more purpose of giving color to their children. The younger women and men of the race, God grant, are turning their backs on the idea and the race to bring their race to the front. The Chinaman and all other races have adhered to the blood of their fathers, and when they changed it was only by the act of law and not by people trying to beilittle them or laughing at their custom or habit. Do girls and girls there help lift the race. REV. RANSOM IN THE CITY. Rev. R. C. Ransom, former Chicago pastor, but now editor of the A. M. E. Review, with headquarters in Philadelphia, preached at the Institutional Church Sunday night. The learned divine is always a welcome visitor to the "Windy City," where his friends are legion. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, assistant registrar of the United States treasury and editor and publisher of the Chicago and St. Paul Appeal, blew into town Tuesday. Naturally as one of the "big ones" of the campaign committee and editor of "The Afro-American in Politics," a campaign publication, he wanted to talk continually of the chances of President Taft for re-election. In one breath he prelated The Chicago Defender and in the next he was quoting an amazing array of figures of Taft's vote in the various states. His stay was short, but he found time to visit many of his old friends. NEWSPAPER MEN ACTIVE IN POLITICS. Local newspaper men are doing some active work in the campaigns for president. Cary B. Lewis is in charge of the publicity department over at the Democratic headquarters on Wabash avenue, while Mr. A. N. Fields is doing the same work for the Progressive party. Many of the candidates for president have been headquarters with prominent race men in charge. Down at the Auditorium hotel Phil Brown of Louisville, Ky., "the greatest Roman of them all" looks out for the interests of all the race newspapers throughout the country that support President Taft for re-election. "THE SOUTHERN WORKMAN." The leading article in the October number of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) is "Negro Training in the South" by Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Nashville, who himself a Southern through and through, is in sympathetic touch with men of all classes and backgrounds, and therefore well fitted to speak frankly, as he does, to the white men of the South about the task that lies before them in the training of the Negro. His recent book, "New Forces in Negro Progress," written for the mission study classes in Southern colleges is treated editorially. The work of the W. W. C. A. among Indian girls of the International secretaries, one of the international secretaries, usually interesting article, well illustrated, is one by the East Indian journalist, Saint Nihal Singh, describing that unique institution, a Massachusetts college in Turkey—the American College for Girls in Constantinople; another illustrated paper relates to an almost extinct Indian beechwood of Newfoundland," written by the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. The cutting off by the House of Representatives of the usual Indian appropriation for the Hampton Indians is discussed editorially. SERGT. W. F. CHILDS NOT TO BE HID A LIEUTENANT. We trust the citizens of Chicago will notice the great importance of always fighting the color line in this great state of ours, and anything which tends to border on the color line should be discouraged and stamped out. It is said Chief McWeeney, who made the appointment of Sergt. Childs, was forced to give him clinical work because he was afraid of an uprising to color standpoint, but the gentlemen did not want to or in the interest of Mr. Childs are determined that he shall have active service, and nothing else but that will suffice. The time has come that the edict of the filiterate Negro must not carry ahead of the educated Negro, and at a recent parlor meeting where a number of college men and women met to discuss the Jim Crow school of St. Monica's (it seems that they have stained themselves as it tends to deter progress of the race), one lady in speaking of the affair: "If the Catholics have so much love for the Negro as they claim, why would they draw the color line in their school? Aren't the colored families as nice and as neat as the white families? Where their children come from don't they speak the same language?" etc. Then if you stand for color line in religion, you may as well be a Catholic, and you may young educated Negro will demand that St. Monica mix her school, as well as the city not to hide perhaps the only college man in the police service behind a lot of books. For the good of the race, down with color line. PARAGRAPHS WITH By Waldo L. Batson. Our bodies become grown very often before we are capable of taking care of a grown person. Some men are big lilacs and at the same time big men. Some men are a secret she puts on her hat and coat right away. Witness a rush there would be if we could ever have a sale on divorces. In married life we encounter the high cost of living; in Reno, the high cost of loving. When we go going wrong we generally go to the end of the day. Many a man would never go wrong if it were not for his own disposition. There is many a man who loves his wife but doesn't want her to feel that way. There is one thing a person should always pray for—and that is himself. When he tells a man that lying when he says he'll see you tomorrow about that little change he ```markdown ``` owes you, you also must think he's lying, but he generally is. If we were compelled to tell the truth every time we `opened` our mouths, we would have to talk through our noses forever. By Julius N. Avendorph. We have all met the belligerent, who never sees any good in anything which does not immediately concern himself, and advance his interests; the man who is always flinging out sarcasm, sticking a knife into other men, and making others' motives, finding faults and defects in their characters, and implying they are not what they ought to be or pretend to be. It is positively painful to his very soul to hear others complimented or spoken well of. He always tries to minimize the virginity of his opponents by a malicious "if" or "but", or in some way throw doubt upon the character of the person praised. There is a professional jealousy which unfortunately seems natural to expect, but that comes from or on account of one being more popular or successful than the other; yet there is a great need for a professional men if they were large enough to see the good in their professional brothers. "The beffitter" does not realize that in disparaging others he is exposing the limitation of his own soul, the smallness of his nature, and not only that, but is all the time making me feel good in others and which we do. We little imagine that when we draw a picture of others we draw one of ourselves. A small, mean soul sees only small, mean things in others. A really great nature sees only the good qualities of others. Yet there is a strange weakness in human nature which blinds many of us from the delights in making us say unkind things about them, hurting them instead of helping them. The man who is swallowed 'up in his own selfishness soon loses the respect of the general public and particularly his friends. He has allowed greed to eat out of his heart all of his nobler instincts, therefore he can see no good in his fellow man. When he consider smaller than the 'beattler', and that is the fellow whom I term as the "human leach", always looking for an opportunity to suck the blood from the veins of those who have favored him when he most needed a favor. Instead of giving his benefactor credit for what he done in his behalf, he takes exception to any inference that might be made in his presence that is complimentary to him; and is always willing to take advantage of it, which will humilize his benefactor. Willing to accept, but never to give, is his motto. Many people are so stingy of their sympathies, their praise and a preciation; are so afraid of giving away something, they are so shut in, the shutters of their lives so tightly closed, the walls of their lives and starved for the lack of sunshine and air. Try to hold kindly, good will attitude toward everybody. If your nature is hard you will be surprised to see how it will soften under the new influence. You will become sympathetic to more charitable toward people's experiences and failings, and you will grow more magnanimous and whole-souled. Life is short at most, and what a satisfaction it is to feel that we have scattered flowers instead of thorns, that we have tried to be helpful and kind instead of selfish. Cultivate an environment that is more serious spirit. Do not be stingy with your cordiality, your praise, your helpfulness. Fling out your best to everybody every time. Learn to say pleasant things to people and about them, to do generous things, and you will realize, the benefit. Selfishness is not a virtue, and make us more apologies to the man and women God intended us to be. Our Women GAUDEAMUS CHARITY CLUB The Gaudauamus Charlly club met on Oct. 14 at the home of Mrs. N.

ALL AROUND THE WORLD Short Paragraphs of Interest Gathered from Many Points During the Week. JEFFERSON, TEXAS.—It will be remembered that at the late national meeting of the United Brothers of Friendship held in Chicago Dr. T. E. Speed was elected deputy national grand master. The death of Rev. Jordan Chavis makes Dr. Speed the ruler of the U. B. F. of the world. LAFAYETTE, LA.—The trial of the beautiful Creole, Clementine Barabe, was called here this week. It is alleged that she confessed that she murdered soventeen persons with an ax as part of the sacrifice ritual of her church. "I don't care what they do with me; they can hang me quietly if they wish," she said before she was taken to court. Friends of the girl have retained lawyers and the defense will be "religious insanity." SPRINGFIELD, ILL.—This week the right of a woman to keep a piano purchased for her by her husband was sustained by the Appellate court, a suit which came from Litchfield. Mrs. Emmy Koch sued W. A. Sallee for the value of a piano which the latter obtained through a trade from her husband. The court held the husband lost ownership in the piano when he gave it to his wife, and under the statute she can hold it as separate and individual property. MACON, GA.—Dr. Samuel John son, a preacher who lived near Pavo, and who has been held meeting in Thomas city is dead as a result of being hung on telephone message from Thomasville. The preacher created so much emulsion over religion that members of his flock rushed to the pulpil while the service was going on and began to embrace him. Women and men did the hugging. They shouted and sang as they squeezed. CONCERNING THE APPETITE Timely Advice—How and What to Eat—More Talk About Files. Press Service, Department of Health. If your appetite is poor, your health is also poor. The man who habitually eats poor, a hungry will be likely to die in the same way. Good health and we vigor come not so much from what we eat, as from the food that is well digested and thoroughly assimilated. Keep after the files these cool autumn days, and keep them out of your homes. Files carry more gerns at this time of the year than they do during the summer months. If your appetite is good and you enjoy your meals, you can easily maintain these conditions by eating wholesome food at regular intervals and eating slowly and chewing your food well. Then add to this daily exercise in the open air and sun—if you are an indoor worker—and plenty of good, fresh air in your bedrooms at night, and the chances are your good appetite will stay with you all the time. With the coming on of indoor weather there will come the usual increase of the communicable diseases, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and wheoping cough among the children. Parents should keep a watch on the general health or their own health and ensure that necessary should be priorly noted and children complaining of sore throat or feeling feverish should be kept at home. Call your family doctor early. Don't make the mistake of thinking that it amounts to nothing. Too often the child the tide. It wastell, would be "better in the morning" is found to be seriously a dangerously ill. Remember that by keeping the allying child at home and calling the earlier child you will be not only safer for your child but your boy's as well. Contagion is spread by sick children mingling (with the well, and in most cases it is the ailing, not the real sick child, that spreads the contagion. Played Cards Only on Holidays. Playing cards, when first introduced into England, were looked upon purely as a holiday pastime. EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE Parents Again Urged to Educate Their Children—Duty of Parent to Child Plainly Set Forth—The Duty of the State to Adequately Provide for the Education of the Children Also Defined—Every State and Nation Has a Right to Levy Tribute for Support—People. Have the Right to Demand the Best of Government From Officials and Legislators. THE PROGRESS ALONG EDUCATIONAL LINES IN THE LAST DECADE. An Age of Revolution—Contrasts the Present Progressive Ideas With the Days Gone By When "Gred" Was the Only Slogan of the World's Powers—Now It Is a Political, Industrial and Educational Revolution for the Betterment of Mankind—The Last of a Series of Articles Dealing With the School Question—A Word About Schools in the Rural Districts. By D. W. Johnson. This is an age of revolution. As in the Eighteenth century there was a world-wide revolution among the powers of the earth for a greedy conquest of territory, now it is a political, industrial and educational revolution for the uplift and betterment of mankind. For years in every country there has been unrest, reformation and programmatic change that has been unprecedented interest and advancement among the common people. Cannot Live In the Past and Survive. New ideas and new doctrines are being preached everywhere. They are known by every conceivable name—progressive; however, they are preached and put into reality. Progress is the order of the day. Stand-pat ideas and doctrines are being relegated to the rear. They have no place or standing in the present progressive system. No man can stand in the past and survive. The world must deal with every one must move with it or be crushed by the surging tide of humanity. Clization is spreading its silvery wings and making its flight to the tour corners of the earth. The mental and wage slavery are being preached and an enlightened people. The recognition of personal, civil and industrial rights are being demanded everywhere. The dark and loathsome days of slavery are a thing of the past and men are now living for the future. What has caused it this wonderful change in the lives of men? It is the divine will of God that all men should be able to develop alike their bodies and minds so as to be able to earn and enjoy the fruits of life. We are the instruments through which he works, to accomplish his divine purpose. Therefore we must necessarily be intelligent beings. Education Most Important Mission. The means through which we are to become intelligent is education. The teacher is the parent to prepare his child for the full of the most important mission in life, to be an intelligent, creative and constructive being. As much as it is the duty of the parent it is equally the duty of the state to adequately pro- duce the education of the children because every child deserves his al- legiance to the state both from a civil and military standpoint. The state is as dependent upon the citizen as the citizen is upon it. The government derives all of its power and authority from the people, the people tax themselves for the support of the government, and in turn for this the government is in duty bound to protect its people in their political civil rights and prepare them for the exercise of their citizenship. State and Nation dictate the citizenship. Every state and every nation is judged according to the quality of its citizens and it is the right of the state to levy taxes by taxes for the maintenance and support of the government; while it is the right of the people to demand from their officials and legislators the most intelligent and progressive form of government. These things can not be accomplished without education. The people must be the force of an enlightened mind behind them in order to accomplish all that is necessary to their well-being. Indiana's Rural School Districts. There is an awakening throughout the country in the matter of education, in the rural districts as well as in the cities. Indiana has a system of consolidated schools in its rural districts. The state of Virginia owns 300 wagons in which it transports the children of the rural school districts; it also has a state supervisor of rural schools. Such a system as this ought to be inaugurated in every state, as it is many states are doing little or nothing for their district schools. Education in the U. S. There are more than 20,000,000 children in the public school and less than half of them derive the benefits of a common school education. Such a condition is preposterous and tends to the detriment of the nation. The enormity of the condition is only realized when we consider the vast cost of $5,000,000 a year for a child. We need plants of the country and to employ plants of a value of a billion dollars. Thirty-one states have more or less definite pursue a rural course, an agricultural school or high in every county or every county district in the state. Seventeen give aid to all localities that situate an agricultural school, as much as $10,000 a year to school. There is a vast mine, wealth in the large pay of the people, live in the district, therefore it is absolutely necessary for a thorough training along that line. Child-Training. It is not fair to a small child for the parents or nurse to be careless about the little things that develop thoughtfulness, self-reliance and self-control in a child. Self-control is a characteristic absolutely essential to manhood or womanhood, and it is not learned in a day. It is the result of patient teaching and training through all the long years of babyhood and childhood.

Parke, 2754 Dearborn street, was a maze of enjoyment, caused by the celebration of the former's daughter, Miss Alma Parke, who at sweet eighteen made her bow to society. There were over one hundred young men and women present, all of whom represented six of the leading high schools of the city. Miss Parke was highly delighted at the many friends being on hand to welcome and greet her on her arrival to the mark that most women look back to with pr. nasking eye. To add more pleasure and joy to the occasion, Miss Anna's dum, Mrs. J. K.

A. of Chicago addressed the four o'clock meeting of the Y. M. C. a at Odd Fellows' Hall on last Sunday. Mr. Crosby gave a very interesting and instructive address, taking as his subject, "Who Is My Neighbor." Among the main thing said may be mentioned the following statements: "My neighbor is the man I can help and not the one who can help me." There was a time when 'might' was the universal rule. The next was the rule of 'right.' We are now living in the decade of duty. There are three rules of life that must enter us if we would be a neighbor: First, know myself, which can be accomplished when we are alone with God; second, know God's promises by being a searcher after truths in the Bible; third, the needs of men, and be just a plain friend of a boy in need. Young men are dying of dry rot because someone does not direct them to the idea of association for service worth while. The working man's greatest need is social justice. The ants, bees and beavers never work alone, but always are found working for the community interest. The Passion Play of Oberammergan, a lecture of the deepest historic and religious interest, will be given at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday, Oct. 20, at 4 p. m. The department has secured the noted lecturer, Dr. A. R. E. Wyant, to give this interesting, illustrated lecture. All seats are free. The October number of the Official Bulletin is dedicated the Student Work number. In the Bulletin are several articles of special interest to our department, among which are articles by Mr. Wm. J. Parker on "Scientific Management in Young Men's Christian Associations" and an account of the "Laying of the Corner Stone of Our Building." The latter article is illustrated by cuts showing the parade and ceremony at the site. Mr. Cerdic E. Francis, director of boys' work of the Wabash Avenue Department Y. M. C. A., left for Washington, D. C., his home, the latter part of last week. The collecting committee, composed of volunteer workers who are collecting funds from subscribers for the building, met at headquarters last Friday evening and laid plans for their future work. All of the men made encouraging financial reports and gave their experience in meeting the different subscribers. Not one of them said that any subscriber refused to pay something on their subscriptions. Out of the nine thousand subscribers to our building fund, less than a score have made statements that they would not pay anything on them. The walls of our building at this time are nearly completed. The stone and brick work around the upper tier of the fifth story is being laid and the roof will be placed within the next ten days. The terra cotta has been placed on the second and third floors so that one may inspect these floors while making inspection of the building. The second floor will contain the social room, assembly room, billiard room, offices and the gymnasium. The third floor will contain the running track of the gymnasium and dormitory rooms. Smith Damron, of the Redpath-Slayton Lyceum Bureau will appear before the Y. M. C. A. meeting with his lecture, "The Potter and the Clay," at a Sunday meeting early next month. Mr. Damron gives demonstrations in the moulding of clay and draws many valuable lessons from the graphic tale that he tells. Further announcements will be made at another time. Don't talk to attend the Y. M. Q. A. meetings on Sunday afternoons at the Old Fellows' Hall. The meetings are growing in interest and some of the best speakers will appear on our program. Pretty Girls and Plain Men. When a pretty woman marries a plain man it is not because she pities him. A woman loves a man because of his strength. His determination appeals to her, and wins her in the end, though she may not have been attracted to him in the beginning. Firmness compels a woman's admiration and respect, and that is the first stopping stone to love. Fortunate Discovery Proprietor—"Well, sir, how did you find the beef?"

"See that scale out there," said the butcher, laying down his knife and jerking his finger toward a large scale that was standing outside the butcher shop. "Well, I suppose you have the same idea that most of my other customers have. They think I keep it there to weigh meat on. I don't. I will let you into a secret and tell you why I placed the scale there. It is to weigh my customers on. "You would be surprised if you know how many of my customers desired to be weighed. Most of them are women and they always bother me at my busiest time, which is Saturday. They think when they come in here and buy a pound of steak or chops that in return for their custom I ought to lay down my work and go outside and weigh them "Every one knows how sensitive a woman is about her weight. If you tell a woman that she is gaining weight you might as well tell her not come around and deal with you any more. They worry a great deal about it. I find that it pays to be direct when you are weighing a woman. You can judge from their conversation how much they think they weigh, and never shock a woman by telling her she weighs more. You can pay any attention to the scale if it shows that the correct weight is five or ten pounds more than the amount the woman said she weighed. Use your head and you will be able to retain customers. Other butchers have lost customers because they made the mistake of telling correct weights. "Most women go to the country in the summer to gain weight. The best plan when they come home is to tell them they gained a few pounds. The first thing a woman does when she comes home is to come around here and have me weigh her. To make her feel happy and to satisfy her that her trip to the country has been beneficial to her health I add a few pounds to the amount the scale registers. There are many women who do gain weight while they are in the country. To these I always tell the correct weight because, if one of them thought she was getting too heavy, she might cut down her purchase of meat. "In the winter I pursue a different course. Most women like to think they are getting slimmer in the cool months. When they come around to be weighed I slice off a few pounds from the figures on the scale and send them away feeling fine. How do I remember their weight? No, I do not keep a record of it. I don't have to. The women do for me a woman's weight is one of her chief sources of workmen and she keeps her weight in mind and daily informs me of it. With a little quizzing just before they step on the scales I am able to find out just what they think they weigh, and the rest is easy. "The scale also helps me to improve my business. Now and then a new customer drops in. She may be new in the neighborhood or she may have been dealing with some other butcher. If I decide that the new customer is a critical person I tell her my meat is the best in the vicinity. Then I request her to step out to the scale and find out her weight. I take a few pounds off her correct weight. When she has been patronizing me for a month I weigh her again. This time I add a few pounds and she goes home with the impression that she is growing heavier without getting stout. She gives my meat the credit. That is the secret of how I manage to keep my customers dealing with me so long." Washing with Stone Numerous inquiries have been made at the commercial intelligence department of the board of trade, in Basinghall street, London, E. C., respecting the exhibit of soapstone which arrived a few days ago from the British vice consul at the Russian town of Kerkin, in the Crimea. The stone, which is dug out of the ground at a place called Batchi-Sarai, and is known locally as "khel," is used for all kinds of washing purposes and as an emollient. Of a marbled pale green and brown appearance, a piece of the mineral substance soaked in water crumbles to a soft paste. It is understood that none of the board's officials has yet risked shaving with the new stone soap, but hand basin tests in washing have been quite successful. On the ground of its comparative cheapness, about a tenth of the price of common soap, several British firms have already become much interested in the commercial possibilities of the curious exhibit. -Dundee Advertiser. Family Secrets A girl has plenty of time to decide on the details of her wedding before the man has figured out whether her eyes are blue or gray. Being conservative in politics never keeps a man from being screamingly insurgent in the matter of ties and socks. A really clever woman never makes the mistake of assuming that only a man comprehend her cleverness. You may cure the vices of a bad woman, conquer the shortcomings of the indifferent woman, but nothing will avail in the face of a good woman's prejudices. The woman who 'dares to be different' is talked about, the man who plays the game is merely tolerantly laughed at—but at best the woman wouldn't change places with him—Lippincott's. Be Careful in Speech. If in our speech we would need consider how our words will affect those to whom they are spoken—If we would try to hear them with their ears and consider how they accept in their hearts, there would not be much passionate or unadvised speech; certainly there would be few spirits wounded or lives embittered by the words of our lips—W.

The expression heard from all those who attended services at our church last Sunday is that it was the most successful quarterly meeting ever held in this church. The love feast at 10 a.m. was fairly well attended. It was really a love feast indeed. A large audience was present to hear the sermon at 11 a.m. by the pastor. The Sacramental sermon preached by Rev. Robinson of St. Marks M. E. church was a splendid effort. The communion service was really a refreshing one from the presence of the Master. Rev. R. P. Christian, presiding elder, preached a splendid sermon in the evening. Five persons united with the church, also Mrs. Alice Blair was received into membership for St. Marks M. E. Church. The millionaire wedding given on Tuesday night was possibly the most brilliant and successful church entertainment that has been given for a long time. Mrs. H. J. Callis, the manager, desires to express her gratitude to the many friends who so willingly assisted her in making this affair such a perfect success. A large number of the rally clubs made their second report on last Monday night. It is earnestly hoped that the third report which will be on Monday the 28th will make a better showing than either of the previous reports. Services for next Sunday will be as usual. The pastor will preach in the morning on "The Man the World Needs Today." The evening service will commence at 7:30. The pastor will preach on The World's Greatest Need. Last Sunday has a day of great activity at "Mother Quinn." The pastor, Dr. Cook, is excelling himself in the character of his sermons. The one delivered at the morning service was extraordinary in composition, brilliant with logic, and pregnant with the Holy Spirit. he vast audience was visibly ed by the pointed appeals of the tor. The subject was "Have a pose in Life." The text: "What est thou here," Kings I, 19th chap. and 13th verse. At the evening service Dr. Cook cook for his text the words "The Lord God is a sun and shield, he will give grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." At this service the Endeavor society choir assisted the regular choir. The Sunday school under Mr. Fisher has an unusual attendance and exercise. The school is preparing a house to house campaign among the people. The Endeavor Society held a very interesting service led by the pastor. In keeping with the wish of Dr. Cook the various departments of the church will give a reception and banquet to all members and friends of the church on Tuesday night, Oct. 22. Admission and refreshments all free to everybody. It is the wish that all the members will turn out in full. An excellent program is being prepared. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA- TIONAL CHURCH.

Our space will only permit a thought here and there, taken at random from this religious philippe—for it was something beyond a mere sermon. Text: I John 3:2, "Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." Subject: "The Potentiality of Man." "Man," said the eloquent divine, "is capable of infinite development." "The most ignorant of the races and peoples of the earth have some kind of a conception of an after life." "The belief in immortality in some form or other has gripped and held fast the mind, thus modifying the thought and life of man at every step. "But we are, or should be, more concerned about the Now than the Then, more anxious about the present than the future, more deeply moved, as we meditate upon the value and profound issues of mortality than when we dream of the beauty and happiness of immortality. The one incites to action, the other awakens the emotion; the one means a struggle to adjust life to present realities, while the other is a hope of immortality. But however these two may be related, we believe that that which is, is, in essence, that which is to be. We need not then worry about the future, the future will take care of itself, but see thou to the present." Services tomorrow, 11 a. m. Subject: "How to Get Strength." Text: Deuteronomy 32:11; 7:30 p. m., subject: "The Essential Quality of Leadership." Text, I John, 2:14. Notes. The obsequies incident to the death of Mr. Hanie, an old and much esteemed resident of the district, were held Monday at 10 a. m. At the "Memorial" Dr. Jackson of Grace Presbyterian rendering the discourse; Dr. Lawrence making the prayer and reading the lesson. During the last week the painters have been busy brightening up the outside of our home and soon the decorators will commence upon the interior.

PREDJUDICE THE BAN IN SECURING HOMES The Despicable Treatment Accorded the Race in the Rental of Houses and Flats Due to "Race Prejudice" Alone—Well-to-Do and Intelligent Families Forced to Live in Undesirable Neighborhoods with Unsanitary Surroundings—Landlords Will Not Make Repairs—Neighbors of Other Races Pay Less Rent and Get Better Treatment. RECENT SURVEY OF CONDITIONS IN CHICAGO "Owners of Available Real Estate Should Consider This Need from a Business Point of View and Should Take Steps to Provide Good Living Quarters for Respectable Colored Families on a Fair Basis in Suitable Neighborhoods," Is the Substance of a Recent Editorial in the Chicago Daily News. Saturday, Oct. 5, under the caption, "Housing Negroes in Cities," the Chicago Daily News says editorially: "One of the serious difficulties encountered by self-respecting Negroes in securing a standard of living that will aid in the mental and moral development of themselves and their children is the scarcity of suitable residence quarters for them in large cities. A survey of conditions in this city has been made by the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy and the findings have been published in pamphlet form. "From this report it appears that Negroes of this city live chiefly in old tenements, sadly out of repair, quarters with insinuitary surroundings, poor light and ventilation, and that their abodes are commonly overcrowded. In one district in which colored people live the tenants "reported that they found it impossible to persuade their landlords either to make the necessary repairs or to release them from their contracts, and that it was so hard to find better places in which to live that they were forced either to make the repairs themselves, which they could rarely afford to do, or to endure the conditions as best they might." "Race Prejudice" Only Ban. "For these living quarters Negroes are frequently obliged to pay extortionate rents. The investigators report that half the people who live in certain districts of the city inhabited by immigrants pay not more than $8.50 a month for four room apartments, yet quarters of the same size in the neighborhoods where Negroes dwell bring at least $12 a month in rent. Therefore, say the investigators, 'the immigrant, for a smaller amount of money, may live in a better house than the Negro,' for the immigrant's house is kept in better repair. "Moreover, the segregated districts for Negroes are commonly in proximity to vice districts. If any one asks why the Negro does not obtain better quarters at a lower rent in a more favorable neighborhood, the answer is found in the two words, "race prejudice." Because of the reluctance of a great many white people to dwell in the vicinity of Negroes the latter are virtually helpless. Many respectable Negroes are unable to live in respectable houses in respectable neighborhoods because white people do not want them there, or because real estate agents think white people do not. This accounts also for the steady demand by Negroes for apartments in the districts inhabited by Negroes, a demand that permits increases of rents without corresponding improvement of the property. Four Quarters on a Fair Basis. "Clearly this state of things is a great and bitter hardship to many colored people of intelligence and good morals. It is a crying injustice to the little children of the race. One may assume that self-respecting Negroes do not desire to reside where they are not wanted, but they need and should have good living quarters at fair rentals in desirable neighborhoods of their own. Owners of available real estate should consider this need from a business point of view and should take steps to provide good living quarters for respectable colored families on a fair basis in suitable neighborhoods."

Déclares Democratic Nominee, When Chicago's Executive, Changed His Mind Offerner Than His Collar. The Voter, an independent monthly magazine, published in Chicago, contains an article by Arthur M. Evans, in which a pen picture of Edward F. Dunne as mayor of Chicago, is given. Mr. Evans, who is a Chicago newspaper man and had an excellent opportunity of observing Mr. Dunne at his best while mayor of the city, has the following to say concerning him: "One possible effect of the campaign of the Progressive party in Illinois is that a progressive state administration may be supplanted with a freakish nightmare of an administration identical in type with the one Chicago experienced for two years in the piping days of I. M. O. A menace lurks in the candidacy of Frank Punk of Bloomington, Progressive candidate for governor, who stands no chance of winning himself, but who may cut into the vote enough to bring about the election of Edward F. Dunne, Democratic candidate. "Has Chicago forgotten the two long years when the chair of mayor was filled by Dunne, genial, affable, versatile Dunne, but also, alas, variable, unstable, inefficient Dunne; the two lagging years that for Chicago were a period of arrested development; the two dawdling years when the city hall was run by a coterile of long-healed men and short-healed women' to use a phrase familiar enough then. "In those days Chicago had a mayor who changed his mind oftener than he changed his collar. In the forenoon the mayor told the reporters for the afternoon newspapers one thing; in the afternoon he told the reporters for the morning papers the exact opposite. As a lightning change artist the mayor was a wiz. In those days when a department head was asked how the mayor viewed a thing the stock answer was 'Who talked with him last?' Yes, indeed, an affable, versatile mayor who was always ready to give ear to anything that was told him, a monument of indecision. Little wonder it was that council meetings were wild and tempestuous sessions with the parliamentarians trying the presiding officer (the mayor) up into double bowknets, from which he generally sought to extricate himself by reversing his decision and then later to unwind himself from new tangles, perhaps reversing his reversals. It was a great administration, to use the reverse English. "And an administration of this type is the Incubus that may be saddled upon Illinois through the effect of the candidacy of Funk. Progressive nominee of governor, it" a vote for Funk is nothing more than a vote for Dunne." Editorial from the Chicago Record Herald, the leading Independent morning paper, August 5, 1912, the second day following the new party convention: The nominee of the Progressives for governor of Illinois is an estimable gentleman and the Record Herald has not a word to say against him. But it is clear that he cannot win and that in the contest for control of the state his candidacy can have only one meaning. A vote for Frank H. Funk will be a vote for Edward F. Dunne. Funk Means Dunne. If you don't believe it think it over and you will see. Dunne and Funk are both attacking' Deneen. Why? Because they know they must discredit him for Dunne to win. Funk will be third in the race for governor. That being true, do you intend to help elect Dunne by voting for Funk? A vote for Funk is a vote for Dunne. Mt. Sterling Mail Points Out Investigation Showed H. Entitled to $10,000. The attempt of Mr. Dunne to an old campaign charge against Governor Deneen in alleging the appropriation of $243,000 while state's attorney of Cook county, seems to have been a confession of weakness. All kinds of charges have been made by Mr. Dunne and answered fairly by Governor Deneen. Now Mr. Dunne abandons all previous charges and returns to the fee charge on which the campaign of 1908 was based. Governor Deneen then was opposed by a combination of Republicans and Democrats, who sought to defeat him. The people showed their disapproval of the campaign by re-electing the governor. The Mt. Sterling Mail makes the following comment on Mr. Dunne's present criticism: "As the different fearful charges that Judge Dunne has laid at the governor's door have collapsed rather ridiculously in the light of specific information, he has been crowded, probably against his better judgment, to drag out the moth-eaten charges that Governor Deneen drew some $200,000 extra in fees while state's attorney in Cook county. The judge probably estimated that perhaps twenty-five per cent, of his hearers would not remember that an official investigation of this matter at the time when the charge was first made showed that Governor Deneen was entitled to $10,000 more than he had drawn." MOOSE PARTY CONSISTENCY Professor Merrlam Admits Good Republican Candidates May Be Defeated. The purpose of the Moose party in Illinois is destructive, according to Prof. Charles E. Merriam, who is its real boss. The Chicago Inter Ocean in commenting upon the Moose county convention said: "The control of the board of tax review, with the powers of reward and punishment, and of the county board, with its chances for profit and jobs, is more important to the commercial interests of the local progressive leaders than the presidency of the United States and the governorship of Illinois." Professor Merriam selected the county convention to nominate candidates against Matthew Mills and A. A. McCormick, Republican nominees for board of review and president of the county board, respectively. His reason, as he gave it, was that if third party men were nominated those two good candidates on the Republican ticket might be defeated by Democrats. DUNNE PRAISES DENEEN In 1910 the Democratic Candidate Thought Well of Governor and Wanted Him Promoted. Did Mr. Dunne tell the truth about Governor Deneen July 3, 1910, or is he telling it now? In 1910, while introducing the governor at the opening of West Park No. 2, Mr. Dunne, according to the Chicago Daily Jewish Courier, said "that he had known Governor Deneen for the last twenty-five years, and he knows that the governor is above criticism both in character and as an executive, as public servant and in his private life. Mr. Dunne praised the governor highly in well chosen words, and declared that Governor Deneen is deserving of a much higher office than governor." DUNNE LOOK FOR VOTES Only Received 24,950 Votes Outside of Cook County and Waner to increase the Number. Mr. Dunne is working early and late down state endeavoring to corral the voters. He was equally persistent in the primaries, but with all his campaigning was only able to secure 24,950 votes in the 101 counties outside of Cook. He received 131,212 votes all told. He carried just 13 counties outside of Cook. OFFICIAL NITES RACES IN HAWAII Collector of Internal Revenue Hon. Charles A. Cottrill of Toledo, O., Does Wonderful Work Since Assumging His Position at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands—Natives and Foreigners Alike Were Displeased When His Appointment Was Announced—All Members of the Race Were Considered Monstrosities. STOOD OVER DYNA: Cultured Diplomat and Wife Overcome Every Obstacle—Now Enjoy the Confidence and Respect of the Entire Island—Mrs. Cottrell Participates in the Social Life—Collector Makes Many Important Addresses—Does a Two-Fold Work—Improves Revenue Service and Teaches Both Natives and Whites Something of the True Character of the American Negro. By A. S. Pinkett. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, Oct. 18—Perhaps the readers will find interest in a line penned from far away Honolulu and relating to a distinguished son of Ham who has come into these parts and is acquiring himself with marked credit. While passing on a return voyage from the Orient I took occasion to call upon the collector of internal revenue, Hon. Charles A. Cottrell of Toledo, O. His office is located in the Capital building and there I found him busy at his desk while he patiently laid aside his work and gave me a most healthy welcome. After a most interesting conversation I was invited to his home where I had the real plan of meeting his delightful wife and seeing his beautiful, cozy cottage; situated in a most desirable residential district. Collector Is. Pleased with Hawaii. To an American Negro it is with incredulity that he listens to statements of some of the conditions which prevail and which relate to the harmony existing between the races. Entertained by ex-Governor of Mississippi. When the collector and Mrs. Cottrill had been two weeks on the island they were fellow guests at dinner with a former governor of Mississippi and his wife, both of whom were gracious and particularly pleasant. Later the Planters' association, an exclusive organization of wealthy business men, gave a dinner at which Mr. Cottrill was a guest. He has several times been a guest at the University club of Honolulu, which is an exclusive body and into which no native is admitted. He has delivered addresses before many of the chief organizations of the Island, both religious and secular, and only last week was one of the speakers at the homecoming celebration of Hawaii's great swimmer, who won first honors at the Stockholm Olympiad. In 1911 he delivered the Memorial day address, in which he covered himself with glory. He and his capable wife are invited to the principal social events, and frequently attend and there is never a suggestion of caste. Makes Many Notable Speeches. Mrs. Cottill is received by the la- tof the island with no apparent measure of reservation, is a member of their various social and study clubs, visits and is visited by the exclusive society, both native and white, and frequently makes her social calls in company with American white ladies. Each time Mr. Cottill has had occa- sion to make a public address he has been apt in his choice of subject and phrase, and the result has been the welding of chains of friendship for himself and wife and the revolu- tionalizing of the conception of the American Negro as held by native and foreigner. Natives Thought Negro a Monstrosity. When Mr. Cottrill was appointed, prior to his taking his post, and even at the time he took his post, Hawaiians and foreigners resident in the island looked upon the American Negro as something skin to the beast and incapable of assimilating the white man's civilization. The American Negro was unknown to them except as newspapers had advertised him and in consequence nothing had been heard of his virtues, while volumes had been read of his vices. The Hawaiian anticipated the arrival of President Taft's new appointee as the coming of a monstrosity and had resolved at the least provocation to let loose the vails of his wrath upon him. Viewing the Negro race in such a light there is little wonder a storm of native and foreign protest went up when it was announced a man from this class of Americans had been selected for so important a post. All this made the position of the collector and his wife the more delicate and they are the more to be honored in that they overcome every obstacle and are now held in such high esteem by native and foreigner alike. Many Races Compose Office Force. I was avered before Mr. Cottill's arrival that the clerical force of the collector's office would resign rather than work under a Negro. No one has resigned. There are in the collector's office proper and exclusive of the men in the field, one Chinese, one Japanese, two Hawaiians and two white Americans, and Mr. Cottrill informs one that there has been and now is perfect harmony among them. it was the writer's privilege to meet the entire force and he was impressed with the intelligent and courteous bearing of all. Quite recently Mr. Cottrill was informed by one who is now a close friend that when he arrived in Honolulu he little knew it, but daily stood on a pile of dynamite whose fuse at the first misstep would have been lighted. This informant further said the danger had passed, as now few men in the islands have as many friends as the collector. Needed to Unite the Races. So firmly has Mr. Cottrell established himself in the good graces of all classes that one of the chief financial interests of the Island has told him that if it lay in his power to prevent, Mr. Cottrell would never leave, giving as his reason the need by the white man in the Island of a connecting link between himself and the native and saying that the present collector is the one man to form the union. It is a high tribute to the ability of Mr. and Mrs. Cottrell to have come to this alien people and through tact and intelligence broken down the barriers of opposition and established an enviable fellowship and brotherly understanding, opened their eyes to the humanity of the American Negro and taught the great lesson of universal kinship. President Taft, who is a personal friend of Mr. Cottrill's, also is to be congratulated in his selection of one so amply fitted to fill so important a post—a post having the two-fold purpose of improving the Internal Revenue service and at the same time teaching the Hawaiians and the whites alike something of the character of the American Negro.

Dried cowfish, unsalted, is eaten by the inhabitants of the Faroe islands (between Shetland and Iceland) or their cows, says a consular report. The fish, which is of the cod type, is considered good for cows, as it enables them, it is stated, to yield an sample supply of rich milk. The dried fish is not cooked before being eaten; it is merely laid on stones and then pounded with stones or hammers. A New Face.

Chicago.—A terrific battle on the bottom of Lake Michigan, thirteen feet below the surface, between a drowning man and his companion who had dived to his aid was waged the other day. Frank Halla succeeded in breaking the death strangle hold of Frank Baller, a drowning man, brought him to the surface and towed him to the shore. The rescue was effected after Halla almost had been suffocated by the group of the drowning man. Persons who witnessed the rescue declare it to be one of the bravest. Efforts will be made to obtain a Carnegie medal for Halla. Halla, who lives at 1213 North Clark street, and Baller, 58 West Ontario A man is falling into the water. Found Himself Almost Powerless. street, were swimming in the lake off East Indiana street when Baller was selzed with cramps and sank. Halla, twenty feet away, swam to the place where Baller had disappeared and plunged below the surface. Halla found him at the bottom. He reached for Baller's hair and Baller twined his arms about Halla's neck. An instant later he got his legs intertwined with Halla's legs and the rescuer found himself almost powerless to break loose. Finally Halla got his hands, under the drowning man's chin and forcing back his head, broke his head. Instantly Halla, his lungs almost burst, shot to the surface. He waited an instant to get fresh air, then dove again after Baller. By that time Baller was unconscious and Halla brought him up without a struggle. His grip on Baller's hair, Halla towed the man to a breakwater fifty feet away. When he reached safety he was exhausted. A witness of the rescue pulled both men on shore and the man was taken to Surgeon A. W. Helwig hurried to the scene with a pulmotor and revived Baller. HAS SUNDAY SCHOOL RECORD New Jersey Man Has Been Regular Attendant Fifty Years, Never Missing a Session. Ocean Grove N. J.—At the Baptist church in Keyport, this county, a big celebration was held in honor of Samuel Winterton, who has just completed fifty years of consecutive attendance at Sunday school in that place. Mr. Winterton holds the world's record for consecutive Sunday school attent dance. He started to attend in Keyport at the age of three years, and he has never missed a single session in the half century. His first teacher was his aunt. Some years ago Mr. Winterton was awarded the prize offered by the proprietor of the Christian Herald, New York, for Sunday school attendance. This half-century record means that he has attended approximately 2,600 sessions of the school. Several spells of illness were not sufficient to keep him at home, and on one occasion he went to Sunday school with a broken arm sustained by a fall from a cherry tree. It was not until Samuel had been going to Sunday school for nineteen years that the Wintertons became aware that the son was achieving a record for himself and distinction for the family. The first Christmas he was called to the church platform and presented with a book for perfect attendance. No prouder youngster ever lived, and right then and there he determined he would win a book every year. It is expected that the New Jersey State Sunday School association will take suitable recognition of Mr. Winterton's record. ROOSTER HATCHES CHICKENS New Answer to the Question: "Which Is the Mother to the Offspring?" Baltimore, Md.—The question whether the incubator that hatches the chick or the hen that lays the egg is the mother of the offspring has been both caring and nurturing for her hatchery years. "But suppose a rooster hatches the egg—what then?" Captain John H. White, 1514 Retreat street, would like to know. Captain White, who hails form Salisbury, Wicomico county, has a rooster that hatched two chicks. In a wooden box Pete, the rooster, sits with ruffed feathers clucking like a hen. Under his wings are two tiny, fuzzy chicks. Some time ago the captain saw Pete sitting on a nest in which were several eggs. "Shoo," yelled the captain. But Pete refused to budge. The same thing happened the next day. In order to see what happened the captain placed eggs in a box on Pete on top of them. The rooster and Pete sit under a stuck and stuck to his post until the day, when he strutted forth and two chicks followed him. Since that time he has taken care of them as carefully as a hen. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Successor Inherited $1,000,000 School Fund Debt Committee of One Hundred Calls Democrat Candidate Joke as Mayor and His Administration a Public Scandal. The committee of one hundred Chicago business and professional men who are supporting the Republican state and county tickets in Cook county have fired a vigorous broadside at Mr. Dunne. The attention to the million dollar deficit left by his board of education at the conclusion of his administration. The statement said: "Edward F. Dunne, as mayor of Chicago, was a big joke. His school board record, his police record, his general administrative record as mayor was more than a joke—it became a scandal. He loaded up his school board with women and theorists whose chief record was one of exploiting every fad and w-o'the-wisp that came along with every breeze and in the end handed down a deficit of approximately one million dollars. "The entire school system was in a tumult and on the brink of a general disruption when Dunne went out of office. "His police record was one of the worst the city has known in recent years. That administration became so scandalous that his police heads and his campaign managers were indicted for levying a 'slush fund' against the city employees to be used in his campaign of renomination. "The taxpayers of Chicago will remember that business was almost at a stand-still during a large part of his administration. Dunne, the theorist, lacked the business sense to run Chicago on a business basis. His record as mayor shows him utterly unfit to be governor of the great state of Illinois. "Governor Deneen's record is one of steady progress - and upbuilding, free from scandal of any kind. "Opposed to them are men running on the Democratic ticket, headed by Woodrow Wilson, who has said that a Chinaman made a better citizen than the emigrant from Europe. The Democratic Cook county candidates are supporting Woodrow Wilson for president. "Do you think Woodrow Wilson, with his free trade and low Chinese wages for American workingmen, represents your best interests? You know he does not. The European emigrant has helped to make this the greatest nation in the world and the best country for the man who earns his daily bread. "Vote for good government, good citizenship, good wages and good times by voting for the Republican candidates on November 5." The people of the United States are asked to abandon government by party and in the name of progress adopt government at the behest of one man, who not only creates his own conventions, but selects who shall sit in them, moulds their convictions, dictates their platforms, and declares himself their nominee—H. H. Kohlaaat, Editor Chicago Inter-Ocean. SEEK TO DISFRANCHISE MANY THOUSAND VOTERS Citizens Ask Supreme Court to Prevent Chicago Election Board From Using Voting Machines. Twenty thousand voters of the city of Chicago will be distrunched if voting machines are used. The board of election commissioners, controlled by the Democrats, has determined to place voting machines in all the heavy Republican wards, leaving the Democratic wards to vote under the old system. Realizing that it would be impossible for a citizen to vote in the one minute limit for each voter, under the voting machine law, Representatives Morton D. Hull and Franklin S. Cattin are petitioning the supreme court to restrain the board of election commissioners from using the machines in Chicago. Mr. Hull is the representative from the Fifth senatorial district and Mr. Cattin from the Thirty-first. The Fifth contains the heavy Republican section known as Hyde Park and the Thirty-first is a thickly populated section on the north side of the river. In their petition to the court the relators call attention to the fact that it is impossible for voters to operate the machine in three minutes, and that the average per voter would be five minutes. The voting precincts contain 600 voters, and 600 minutes are allowed for all of them to vote. The tickets contain candidates for fifty-three offices, in addition to the twenty-nine presidential electors. On the voting machine the voter cannot split his ticket, so far as the electors are concerned, but must vote for the whole twenty-nine. The election is controlled by friends of William Randolph Hearst, who are greatly interested in the candidacy of Maclay Hoyne for state's attorney. It is hoped by the relators that the supreme court will hear their plea and declare the voting machine law unconstitutional. Casulstry. "Do you think it would be wicked to go fishing on Sunday?" "Well, that would depend on whether the fish were biting or not. I don't see how it could be any more wicked to watch a cork floating on a stream on Sunday than it would be to watch a cloud sailing in the sky." Great Fun. Myrtila Gray Has lovely eyes.

Daring Apprentice of Tramp Steamer Who Went In Search of Adventure at an Indian Port Had Plenty of Excitement. Philadelphia.—A daring apprentice who had the audacity to steal into a Hindoo temple and kidnap a sacred cat is the tale that a tramp steamer brings to this port. The apprentice, Albert Berrige, passed behind the veil of one of the most sacred temples of the Hindoos in Bombay, saw with his Caucasian eyes the great idols and returned to the outer world with the sacred cat. The cat once bore, no doubt, a large Indian name, but since joining the tramp ship the sacred feline has been dubbed Tommy. Tommy is as black as the conscience of a bigamist and is not very different from other cats. Black cats bring good back to ships that plough the seven seas, so Tommy held in great esteem. While Bergerie船 swung at her anchor off "The boat to the Dreadful Night," as Kipling had seen Bombay, saving domes of the Hindoos temples kindled Albert's imagination, and he chafed at the bit until he had obtained shore leave. "Be back by sundown, young man," ordered the captain as the apprentice went over the side about midday. Through the winding streets of the city wandered the imaginative youth. He visited the bazaars and gazed with horror at the loathsome vultures as they sat perched in the trees besides the Tower of Silence, where the Parses leave their dead to be discovered by the great winged scavengers. There was so much to interest Albert that he forgot altogether the captain's injunction to be back by sundown. Darkness had enveloped the city when Albert reached one of the Hindoo temples, probably the most sacred in all Bombay. There was a special celebration going at the temple and crowds of the faithful were reverently wending up the broad steps and through the walls. Albert had not been told that all but Hindooes are barred from the temples, and with true apprentice audacity he joined in the throng and, undiscovered in the crowd and in the darkness, he passed through the entrance and found himself within the sacred place. "It was all dark and scary in that temple," said the apprentice in telling of his adventure. "There were big pillars all round with the most scary looking carvings you ever saw. I got behind one of these pillars all by myself and tried to see what was going on. Away off in the distance I saw some lights burning in front of a row of big idols that looked like huge monkeys. The Hindos who were coming into the temple were making their way toward those idols, bowing and sort of song-songing. They were so busy in their worship of the big gilded monkeys and things that they would not have seen me if I had been on fire. "I was so encouraged by my success in getting to the front, near the big show, that I kept on the move through the dark. Sunnely, as I tipped along, I put my foot down on something soft. The next thing I knew there came a yowl and screech that made my backbone feel as though a bolt of lightning was running up and KWF I Kept Up My Running. down it. The sing-song and the moaning had ceased. There was absolute silence for a moment. "Suddenly I felt something hit me in the middle of the back. Then I felt sharp socks digging into my hide. The next instant I was traveling like a meteor toward the temple entrance and every manack of these Hindoos in pursuit. "When I reached the door two husky Hindoos jumped in front of me. I lowered my head and struck one of them amidships. He went down with a gulp like a man swallowing his adam's apple. I dodged the other fellow and jumped and half tumbled down the steps from the temple doorway. When I hit the street I kept up my running. The Hindoos were soon distanced. I must have run for a mile with that cat clawing at my spinal column. Then when I got up a dark street I stopped and tried to dislodge the cat. I finally had to take off my coat to get the beast to release his claws. "When I got Mr. Cat into my arms he was as docile as you please and purred in real cat fashion. So I says to myself, 'It's a black cat and that means good luck, so I'll take him on board, then I will helping why I should, but I had the best my adventure in the temple and the old man let it go at that.'

IS MISTAKEN Shows Friends of ex-President Opposed Progressive Measures, and Roosevelt Himself Was Lorimer's Friend. Governor Deneen replied without delay to the attack upon him by Colonel Roosevelt. His answer to the colonel's array of high-sounding adjectives denying many things, was as follows: "The statement of Colonel Roosevelt is characteristic. He denies facts which embarrass him and misstates and colors other facts in an attempt to justify his conduct toward the Republicans of Illinois and myself. "First, regarding the thirty-four delegates. These are the facts; Gov. Hadley introduced a resolution to take from the temporary roll the Taft delegates and substitute Roosevelt delegates in certain contested states. These numbered about 78 delegates all told. Says Colonel Sent for Him. "Colonel Roosevelt sent for me and asked he to introduce a resolution limiting the number to the thirty-four delegates from Washington, California, Arizona, and Texas. I refused to do this without Governor Hadley's consent, because he had presented the motion and he and others had discussed it before the convention, and my motion could not be submitted until after the debate had ended. "I felt that I could not afford to change the line of a battle which had been participated in by Governor Hadley and others in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt and make them appear to be acting either without knowledge or without good faith to the convention. I therefore informed Colonel Roosevelt that I should have to consult with Governor Hadley, who was the floor leader in the convention for the Roosevelt forces, and get his approval before introducing the proposed amendment." "Hadley Wrote Resolution." "I went to the convention and saw Governor Hadley and Governor Hadley himself wrote the resolution which I introduced in the presence of Senator Dixon of Montana, Senator Borah of Idaho, and myself. The resolution is as follows: "I move as an amendment to Representative Watson's motion that the substitute motion of Governor Hadley be referred to the committee on credentials, and that no delegate whose right to a seat in this convention is questioned by this motion have a right to vote on the selection of a member of the committee on credentials or on its report. "It will be noted that the motion of Gov. Hadley was to strike from the temporary roll the Taft delegates and substitute Roosevelt delegates in their stead. My amendment provided that no delegate whose right to a seat in the convention was questioned by Gov. Hadley's motion should have a right to vote on the selection of a member of the committee on credentials or on its report. Quotes From Colonel. "To bolster his false position upon facts, Colonel Roosevelt attempts in his interview to place me in a logical dilemma by saying: "I wish to call attention to another feature of Mr. Deneen's action. He says that he moved to throw out 78 delegates in that convention, these being the 78 delegates seated in the interest of Mr. Taft. Now, those 78 were entitled to their seats, or they were not. Either Mr. Deneen was moving to throw out 78 delegates because they were crooked and were not entitled to their seats, and because to seat them represented theft, or else, if he believed that those 78 delegates were entitled to their seats, he was himself a crook by his own admission and was seeking to disfranchise 78 men honestly elected. Mr. Deneen can choose either horn of the dilemma he wishes. "Either he was endeavoring to seat 78 men who had no title to their seats, or also now he is defending a nomination secured by the votes of 78 men whose seats were stolen in their behalf and in the behalf of Mr. Taft. "Either Governor Deneen was acting crookedly when he made that motion to unseat those delegates, or he is acting crookedly now, when he is supporting the nomination won by the votes of the 78 stolen delegates whom he sought to have excluded because they represented nothing but theft." Differs on Resolution. "It will be noted that Colonel Roosevelt makes me responsible for Gov. Hadley's motion states that my motion charged that the Taft delegates were stolen. "The resolution does not so state, and there is no possibility of placing upon it such a construction. "Colonel Roosevelt was then threatening to bolt; and the papers were full of that subject. The resolution was offered as a compromise, so that the uncontested delegates should determine the merits of the contested cases, without any intimation as to the actual merits of any case. "Nor does who Colonel Roosevelt states about the Hadley motion place No Duplicates Here. If in this month of weddings all the brides-to-be copied the little brides of Holland they would not have so many duplicate gifts. The practical folk of the Netherlands consult the bride to what she needs, and she has a list from which each article is checked off as it is "taken" by a prospective donor. This list is kept as an heirloom, so that every generation knows what has been given to its grand-parents. Incidentally, the list has at hers. Incidentally, the first has a value of an in- anybody in a dilemma, for Gov. Hadley himself said to the convention, in his speech urging the adoption of his motion, "I do not say that these charges are true. I sat in that committee and knew some of them are true. But, true or false, let us meet them here." "I quote the following from an address of Colonel Roosevelt to his delegates and advisers on June 20, 1912, as published in the St. Louis (Mo.) Times of that date: "Gov. Deneen today introduced a very moderate resolution in dealing with the four fragrant states. It asked that the delegates from Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas should not be permitted to vote and that the three states stolen bodily—Washington, Arizona, and Texas—should not put their representatives on the credentials committee. "That motion was voted down by substantially the same vote that elected Root over McGovern. In each case the majority was a majority only because the votes of the fraudulently seated delegates were counted. "Mr. Root received seventy or eighty stolen votes. Mr. Deneen's resolution was beaten today by fraudulent votes which in that resolution were named by the votes of Arizona, Texas and Washington and the two fraudulent votes from California. If these votes had been changed the resolution would have been carried. "It is plain from Company Rosevelt's statement that he had a resolution which he asked me to introduce, and which he did not know had been changed by his managers on the convention floor." Thinka California Caze Fair. "I voted with the Roosevelt delegates upon the resolution to unseat the two California delegates. I do not think they were seated fraudulently. There was ground for an honest difference of opinion upon the merits of that case. Early in December the national committee had issued a call for the election of delegates, fixing the congressional district as the unit of representation, as had been done uniformly under the laws of the party since 1880. "the California legislature shortly after enacted a primary law fixing the state as the unit for voting purposes for the selection of national delegates. At the primaries Colonel Roosevelt carried the state and President Taft one congressional district. The convention sustained the party law regarding the unit of representation. Were the California law enacted in Illinois, the city of Chicago, in a bitter contest, would name every delegate to the Republican national convention, the Democratic national convention, the Socialist convention, and the Prohibition convention. Such a law would not be tolerated in our state. "In speaking of California, I may add that under its primary and election laws the Bull Moose party has been enabled to have its electors placed upon the Republican ticket and the Republican party has been prevented from placing any electors in the field, which disfranchises the Republicans of California. "Reduced Southern Clalma." "On the general question of contested delegations it may be remembered that Colonel Roosevelt cried 'crook' and quoted the scriptural injunction 'Thou shalt not steal' very vehemently regarding the selection of the southern delegates, long before the states with primary laws had had an opportunity to vote. He did this with apparent sincerity, but reduced his claims and indignation with mathematical precision as he galanced delegates in the primary states. It was never expected that a large number of the southern delegates would be taken very seriously. "Colonel Roosevelt went out of his way to seek to infuse me by garbled quotations in an effort to make it appear that I was an ally of Senator Lorimer. His statement is without truth or justification. I stated in my test-many before the senate committee in substance that Mr. Lorimer in an interview with me had stated that they should not be able to prevent Senator Hopkins' re-election proposed to elect Speaker Shurtleff. In reply I said, if you have power to elect Speaker Shurtleff, why don't you elect yourself? "It also appeared in the testimony that when this conversation was had I had said to Mr. Lorimer that there was an effort being made by the bipartisan alliance in our general assembly to unseat me, and that they apparently had enough votes to do so, and that I stated to Mr. Lorimer in the same interview that if they intended to unseat me, as they apparently had power to do, I hoped they would do so quickly and not prolong the struggle "There was no offer to assist him, and the statements were a passing comment on the course of events in our general assembly. These garbled misstatements and misrepresentations have been peddled around the state by the colone's supporters and by the bipartisan alliance and jackpotters of our state, and I am surprised that he tried to give them currency and respectability by giving him his indorsement. Primary Rules Agreed On. Primary Rules Agreed On. "The defensive alliance to which he refers arose out of these facts. The supreme court had declared the primary election law unconstitutional and lawyers of standing had held at the opinion of the court nullified all the primary laws on the statute books of our state. It was feared that 'soap box' primaries would be had before a new primary law could be enacted. "Mr. Lorimer suggested that rules be agreed upon by the party committees for holding the primaries. These were the matters under discussion. The thing about which Colonel Roosd Only Person "Touched." Duels in France are often more costly than dangerous. The very lowest figure for which an encounter can be brought off is £4, and to do the thing in style considerably more must be spent. Aurellan Scholl, the boulevard journalist, once suffered. A friend of his sent off Scholl for his expenses. This sum he never repaid. "The duel was a bloodless one," re- I was the only person --- velt complains was an effort to establish in a measure the rule of the people in Cook county at the approaching primaries. In the meantime, however, I urged and secured the enactment of another primary law, which Mr. Lorimer and his friends opposed. "Lastly, Colonel Roosevelt states that Senator Lorimer called at the executive mansion at two o'clock in the morning and congratulated me. Again the colonel is at the antipodes of the truth. Mr. Lorimer called at two o'clock in the afternoon, after he had been elected, and was on his way over to the hotel. "I passed the compliments due to such an occasion. This was on the 28th day of May. The next time I saw Mr. Lorimer was at Washington, D. C., during the rivers and harbors convention in December, when we had a short conversation about the waterway. The next time was the following spring when he came to Springfield to defeat the plans for a waterway. I have had neither meeting nor relation with him since he was elected, except as stated. Once T. R.'s Friend." "Colonel Lorimer has evidently forgotten his oldimo friendship for Mr. Lorimer. Mr. Lorimer was an adviser of the colonel in matters when he was president for a long time and a number of federal appointments made during Colonel Roosevelt's administration were friends of Mr. Lorimer. "Practically all of them joined with Mr. Lorimer not only in opposing me during Colonel Roosevelt's administration, but in trying to defeat me at the polls four years ago when Colonel Roosevelt was still president of the United States. "The colonel should 'cultivate his memory' also, because the Roosevelt machine in Illinois during his administration opposed nearly every progressive reform which I advocated and secured despite its opposition. "I shall not answer Colonel Roosevelt's epithets except to say that a complete set of five representing his party and with his approval, as I have been informed upon, upon at the state house on July 1912, and stated in effect that if I would agree to vote for Colonel Roosevelt and announce that fact, no third party ticket would be nominated against me and I would be indoors and supported by the colonel's friends." "The abuse and opposition, which I am now incurring at the hands of Colonel Roosevelt and his friends, is due to the fact that I am trying to make effective in Illinois the rule of the people by standing by the trust reposed in me by them at the primaries on April 9th." NEWSPAPER COMMENT. We know what Governor Deneen has done, and we do not know what either of the other candidates can do, for they are untried. We do know that Edward Dunne, though a clean man and an honest man, made a failure of his administration of the city of Chicago—Rock Island Union. The old arguments used by the bipartisan crowd against Governor Deneen in 1908 most assuredly, do not adorn the Progressive party's campaign in Illinois, now that they are employed in that campaign. On the contrary, they degrade the Progressive party movement and injure the candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt—Chicago News. Candidate Funk is devoting more time knocking against the Deneen administration than he is in giving the voters a good reason for electing him governor. In fact, up to this date no good reason has been advanced by Mr. Funk, or any of his friends, and the likely thing is that he will be retired to private life by a decisive vote.—Havanna Republican. While Mr. Funk is talking "Lordermism" he might brush his own skirts a little and explain to the people of Illinois that the chairman of his own party's state committee is one Chaucey Dewey, whose proud boast in the spring of 1909 was that he had sent three votes over to Mr. Lorimer in the senatorial fight of malodorous memory.—Peoria Herald-Transcript. If any set of men were ever fairly nominated for office in Illinois, Governor Deneen, Attorney General Stead and the other Republican nominees were. Nor were they nominated by the bosses. They submitted themselves and their platform to the people for their approval. All were nominated by substantial pluralities, and Funk himself has never questioned the fairness and legality of their nomination.—Milford Herald. We will vote for Governor Deneen for Governor, for he has served the State under very trying circumstances and come through unscatched through the rottenest bipartisan period of the state's history. If his opponents could hang anything on him they would use the blackest type the printers could produce in proclaiming the fact instead of using generalities—specifying nothing that connects him with jackpotism. All success to his candidacy.—Bunker Hill Gazette News.

On behalf of the Republican National Convention we thank you for the colored press of the nation for the loyal and unselfish support they have given the nation and for the now drawing to a close. I know the pressure that has been brought to the papers to desert their party, know that many of them have received a heavy financial sacrifice, which this committee has not been in a position financially to make good. We fore, and I will assure each and every one of them my deep perestroia, fight, they have made. Their reward will come in the added respect they serve and in the knowledge they have helped to win the victory that is sure to conquer. THAS F. SCOTT. Out of the dense clouds of gloom occasioned by the attempted assassination of Col. Roosevelt, this memorable campaign emerges and wags on its way to the end. As Mr. Roosevelt says, this is not a campaign of men, but of principles, and the sinister incident should not affect its conclusions in the slightest degree. The assault upon Mr. Roosevelt was the outcroppings of a disordered mind, individual in every detail, which might as easily been directed against President Taft or Professor Wilson, and has no political significance whatsoever. Only the morbid and the ghoulish would attempt to capitalize this maniacal manifestation in the interest of any party. It is an unfortunate incident that is nationally deplored, but ought not to yield oneota of political profit to any man or any party. The issues remain the same. Mrs. Barnett's Victories. Were it not for her gentle sex, we would like to call Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett the "Old Roman" of racial endeavor and accomplishment within the range of femininity, but how dare we say "old" in speaking of such a delightful lady. Even so, we fear in referring to her so many finished fight for racial advancement and vindication and her brilliant victories won that chronology will have to turn backward in its flight and force us to admit that, in things done Mrs. Barnett is truly a veteran, but in doing things she has the spirit of deboutane with the wisdom of a chaperone. "Why I Am for Taft-" Mrs. Barnett appeared before the Woman's Party of Cook County (Inc.) in the College Room of the Hotel LaSalle last Sunday afternoon and discussed the subject, "Why I Am for Taft," The Chicago Inter Ocean said regarding Mrs. Barnett and her address: "Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, president of the Colored Woman's Club and lecturer on two continents in the United States, Mrs. Eather Polkensin stem of the Falkenstein Settlement House presided." Republican party gave the country Abraham Lincoln and the best years of its history, and Mrs. Barnett. Before he was warying in uncertainty and hypocrisy, the Republican party made the vital thing, and we should support it for its traditions, its history, and because we did this country really become a republic. "Mrs. Barnett was severe in her concession to Negro, and declared the Negro feels it his duty to preserve the Republican party that has done so much for him by bringing on himself the wrath of the 'Southern gentleman' for entertaining himself, something to take away the bad taste, and to accomplish this he dishonorably discharge him after the Brownville affair when they would not and could not accuse each other. The suffrage cause not be a vital issue with the Progressive leader, she sortined, it were it not for the fact that the women of six states have the Party Is United. Every element in the Republican party in Illinois is united now. The fine Italian hand of Mr. Joseph Kealing, the schoolmaster of all organizers, has manifested itself. Love feasts of the Deneen and Lorimer forces are almost daily occurrences. At the Colleumse last Monday night there was an old fashioned Republican meeting of the kind our fathers held. It was Republican from the cellar to the dome and chuck full of enthusiasm and pepper. John Maynard Haran and Adam Bede were the attractions, and they handled the issues with mailed hands. Some Pertinent Notes. Echoes and re-echoes of Chaucey Dewey's threat to disfranchise the 'thern Negroes are being heard all Chicago. The Brindle Bull Moose at their wits' end to find a chewinging its wide pub. Mr. Dewey, who is the --- ```markdown ``` most prominent Progressive in the west, with the exception of Hiram Johnson of California, should give out the cold-blooded and copper-head threat against the northern Negries is of surprising significance. But up to this very hour Mr. Dewey has not denied it. Hon. Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, Mo., who has been doing yeoman service on the hustings for the Republican party, was compelled to cancel a number of dates on account of the death of his brother. Mr. Crews will return to the headquarters Monday. Hon. J. Madison Vance speaks at Kalamazoo, Mich., on the 15th. He returned Tuesday from an extended speaking tour in the southern parts of Illinois and Indiana. Both Mr. Crews and Mr. Vance are explaining the initiative, referendum and recall with telling effect. Wherever it is presented to a colored audience numerous converts are made to the Republican cause. P. REV. D. P. ROBERTS, M. D. A Strong Advocate for Equal Rights for His Race. "BULL MOOSE" CHIEF GIVES STAG PARTY Mr. T. E. Foster Entertains in Lavish Style—Noted Southerner the Guest of Honor. Mr. Thomas E. Foster of 6138 Aberdeen street, the Big Bull Moose of Englewood society, divided honors with the Bull Moose meeting Saturday evening, Oct. 12. There were not as many at the party as attended the Bull Moose meeting at the Coliseum, but the enthusiasm and enjoyment were none the less. Mr. Foster gave a stag to a number of his friends in honor of Mr. Julian Lewis, student of Rush Medical college, Nashville, Tenn. Every one was fervent in his praise of the host. Those present were: Messrs. Jasper Ross, Reuben Schakley, Edgar Rheinhardt, railway mail service; Alexander Webb, Fred Thompson; John H. W. Oglesby, Captain Pusey D. Arnett, Eighth Illinois National Guard; John Williams, Peter S. King and D. W. Johnson. Mr. Foster is an adept in the art of entertaining and spares no pains for the consummation of the pleasure of his guests. PRAISES DEFENDER WANT ADS Mrs. Henrietta Wilson, 3650 Wash avenue, declares that the Chicago Defender is the best advertising medium in the city. Recently she had fourteen empty rooms in her house and inserted a small "Rooms to Rent", ad in the columns of the Defender. So great was the response that her house was soon filled up. And anyone desiring to know the value of the Chicago Defender advertising column has only to ask Mrs. Wilson. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Henry (nee Miss Eunice B. Hunter) acknowledge their marriage, which occurred last May. They are at home to their many friends at 5617 Wabash avenue. Good Rule to Observe.

And this rule if observed carefully in all your department, will be a mighty security to you in your undertakings.—Ephectetus. HOPE FOR U.S. SENATOR HOPE FOR U.S. SENATOR Moose Party Seeks to Obtain Balance of Power. Wants Enough Legislators for Combination for Control of General Assembly. With two United States senators to be elected and the state to be reapportioned into senatorial and congressional districts, the importance of electing a Republican legislature must not be overlooked. By indiscriminately nominating Moose candidates for the legislature in districts where no other purpose can be served than the defeat of Republicans and the election of Democrats, the Moose leaders have placed in jeopardy the election of a Republican legislature. In order to hold the balance of power in the next general assembly, and thereby force the election of one of their number, through another bipartisan alliance, to the unexpired term of William Lorimer in the senate, some of the Moose leaders are planning the defeat of a sufficient number of Republicans in close districts to prevent Republican control on joint ballot. The danger is not in the number of Moose legislative candidates who will be elected, but in the number of Republicans who will be defeated by Democrats by reason of the Moose candidates in the districts where Moosers have positively no chance of election to the general assembly. Lawrence Y. Sherman, Republican primary nominee for United States senator, can only be elected to the upper house of congress by a Republican legislature. His name does not appear upon the ballot which is to be voted upon the fifth of November. WHEN DID MR. FUNK BECOME SO WEARY? HE WAS NOT DISGUSTED BEFORE THE PRIMARIES—BECOMES REFORMER SINCE. In one of his speeches in Chicago, My Funk, the "Moose" candidate for governor, said: "I am not a sorehead, nor a disappointed office seeker, but I am tired and disgusted with the way the Republican party has been run. Illinois has become the laughing stock of the slaterhood of states because of jac potism, Lorimerism and the grafting. What has happened since Mr. Funk washed candidate at the April primaries for nomination for senator on the Republican ticket? Governor Deneen and the entire state ticket were nominated by the people at the same time. Mr. Funk might have been a candidate for governor at those primaries, if he had been willing to intrust his cause to the people. Instead, he waited until a few bosses of the third ticket could nominate him. He then became dissatisfied with the Republican party and its leaders in this state. As state senator for four years he supported the policies of the Republican party and Governor Deneen. Whence this sudden plos revolt from the party which had honored him? There has been no known jackpot since the April primary. Mr. Funk never raised his voice against Lormerism, and there has been no grafting since April. It is a good time for the voters to wonder what happened to Mr. Funk. POLES OPPOSE WILSON FOR ATTACKING THEM Democratic Alderman Says 30,000 of His Countrymen In Chicago WILL Vote Against Candidate. Many voters of foreign birth or descent are opposing Mr. Wilson because of past criticisms by him of immigrants. In the sections in Chicago inhabited by voters of foreign descent there is an outspoken feeling against Mr. Wilson. Alderman Stanley Kunz one of the Polish Democratic leaders in Chicago, attacked the Democratic candidate before the Cook county managing committee. Alderman Kunz had just returned from Milwaukee where he met a number of leading Poles for the purpose of organizing them against Mr. Wilson. "Wilson has been praised here," said Alderman Kunz, "and what has been said may be true. But I want to tell you that the Poles, Bohemians and italians of Chicago are not for him and will not be unless he apologizes to them through the press. When a man comes out in an attack and says the Poles are of a manner class, I, and the people I represent, do not feel we can support him. "Some people are trying to deliver the foreign vote to Wilson, but unless he makes many amends it will not be his. He has not only insulted us, but the entire nation, as this country was made by men of foreign birth. Would any of you Irishmen support him if he had said you were not as good as a Chinaman? My people think him a wild hound, and there are 30,000 Polish voters of Cook county who are going to show Mr. Wilson they are not the meaner class." Mr. Deneen has his record and his promises for the future to back his campaign, and the people of Illinois have every confidence in him—Urbana Courler-Herrlich. Hasty Influence. Bob, if we're going to see a ball game tomorrow I want to know a lot more about the game than I do. Tell me some of the fine points of it."

COMPANY SPENDS MILLIONS His Administration aa Mayor Gave Indiana a City of Fifteen Thousand and Manufactures Employing Thousands. Edward F. Dunne is responsible for the building of Gary, Ind., by the United States Steel corporation. If he never had been mayor of Chicago, the industries now enriching Indiana and employing thousands of men would be in South Chicago, and paying taxes in this state. More than $50,000,000 were expended in building Gary, which now has a population of 15,000. His commissioner of public works drove the steel company to Indiana. The people of South Chicago did not realize what it meant at the time, but they know now. They began to realize what they had lost when they saw the development of Gary by the erection of shops and manufactures which the company wanted to build in South Chicago. When too late they tried to recover something by recognizing the industry which had furnished employment to so many workmen who spent their wages in South Chicago and Chicago. But the steel company had gone too far in the development of Gary. Its possibilities were understood and today the subjeks stacks of Gary are a monument to the radicalism of the man who is seeking to become governor of Illinois. Do you intend to help him? If you do act, the only way he can be defeated is by voting for Governor Deneen because Funk stands no show. A vote for Funk will help Dunne while a vote for Deneen will mean Dunne's defeat. CULLOM FAVORS WHOLE REPUBLICAN TICKET Urges Supporters of Great Party to Stand Firm in the Faith and Vote for Tried Candidates. Senator Shelby M. Cullom is coming to Illinois to register and vote for the Republican ticket from top to bottom. The senator says "it is the duty of every Republican to speak out and declare himself unqualified for the Republican party, both national and state tickets." Senator Cullom expects to be in Springfield soon. At his old home he will seek to encourage his many friends by telling them of the many good things the administration has done. His health is such that he will be unable to take an active part in the campaign. He will remain in Springfield until after election, when he will return to Washington for congress. Senator Cullom in a letter to State Chairman West said: "I am just as strong a Republican now as I ever was in my life and I am just as anxious that William Howard Taft and James Schoolcraft Sherman shall be re-elected as I was that they should be elected four years ago. There is no reason that I know of why they should not be re-elected and I think it is the duty of every Republican to support them. Not only do I desire that President Taft and Vice President Sherman be re-elected, but I desire also that the whole Republican ticket, national, state, congressional and legislative be elected. There ought to be a strong effort made in behalf of the party which has done so much for the country." ILLINOIS TAX RATE LOWER THAN ELSEWHERE Carbondale-Free Press Comments on Mr. Dunne's Charge That Administration Costs Too Much. Governor Deneen has answered Mr. Dunne's statement concerning the tax rate of Illinois on several occasions. He showed, according to the Carbondale Free Press, that "the Illinois state tax is $2.62 per capita of population. In New Jersey, where Woodrow Wilson, candidate for president on the Democratic ticket is governor, the state tax per capita is $3.34 to $2.62 in Illinois. In Indiana, where Thomas R. Marshall, candidate for vice president on the Democratic ticket is governor, the state tax per capita is $3.12 to $2.62 in Illinois. In California, where Hiram W. Johnson, candidate for vice president on the Bull Moose ticket is governor, the state tax per capita is $6.36 to $2.62 in Illinois. As a matter of fact taxes in Illinois are lower than in seventy per cent of the other states." Bi-partisan efforts were made in 1908 to defeat Governor Deneen with Mr. Stevenson as the candidate. It failed. Now another head has been added and tripartisanism appears. It is the same old story, only the staging is a trifle different. The Democratic Ald society, otherwise known as the "Bull Moose" organization, hopes with Funk to take enough votes away from Deneen to insure the election of Dunne. Are you being misled by the combination? If so, think it over. Browns Will Be Favorites In the coming fall series between the Browns and Cardinals in St. Louis conditions will be reversed in that the Browns will be strong favorites on the recent showing they have made in the American league. The series will start October 8 and seven games will be played. Red Sox Better Team Manager Clark Griffin of the Washington Senators says that Jake Stahl's American league leaders will be McGraw's Giants four out of 11. --- Urges Legislation of Importance to Miners. More Remedial Measures Are Enacted for Toller in His Two Administrations Than in Previous Eighty-seven Years. The miners of Illinois are giving their support to Governor Deneen and the Republican party on the basis of services rendered in the past. The proof of the benefits they have enjoyed is to be found in the statutes which contain more remedial legislation affecting miners passed in the last eight years than in all the previous history of the state. The Republican party remembered this craft in 1870, forty-two years ago, when it framed the present constitution of the state and inserted in it a constitutional provision that the general assembly should pass laws for the protection of mines and miners. And in March, 1872, the Republican legislature passed an act "Providing for the health and safety of persons employed in coal mines, regulating escapement shafts, ventilation, signalling and hoisting, specifying qualifications of engineers, requiring inspection, prohibiting employment of women and young persons under fourteen years in mines." Since that time the legislature of the state of Illinois has at most of its sessions been Republican. The liberal and practical legislation pertaining to mining has been given to the miners by the Republican party. The miners of this city never received more liberal and substantial legislation than they did during the seven years that Charles S. Deneen has been governor. He has proved himself a friend of the miners. Since this state was admitted into the Union in 1818—that is ninety-four years ago—108 mining and other labor measures have been enacted and are laws today. From 1818 to 1905—eighty-seven years—fifty-seven of these measures became laws, and from 1905 to 1912—only seven years—fifty-one of these measures became laws, and these additional fifty-one laws were enacted during the administration of Governor Deneen. In respect to labor legislation, the record made by the Forty-seventh general assembly marks an epoch in labor laws enacted. Substantially every legislative measure supported by organized labor was passed. When Governor Deenan convened the legislature in special session in 1910, he included in the call a request for the enactment of a law relating to employers' liability. When the workmen's compensation law was passed by the votes of the house and senate—practically unanimously—the Manufacturers and Employers' association of this state made a vigorous protest and demanded that the governor should veto the measure, but in spite of the protest of powerful organized interests, senate bill No. 283, for "workman's compensation act," received the governor's approval and is now a law of this state. One great triumph of the Deneen regime has been the establishment of business methods, modern business methods, in all the state institutions and departments. Interest on funds has to be turned into the state. From this alone the public treasury has profited by $485,600. Of this amount $339,000 has come from state treasurers, who now are required by law to turn over the interest, a practice that was first established by John F. Smulski, with whom it was a voluntary act in conformity with a campaign pledge—The Voter, Chicago. THROWN FROM MOOSE MEET Citizen Denied Right to Ask Candidate Funk a Question. When Hon. Frank H. Funk, the Moose party nominee for governor, spoke in Chicago recently he objected to a question concerning the initiative and referendum by George E. Cole. Mr. Cole was thrown out of the opera house by two policemen. During his summary removal Prof. Charles E. Merriam, who was presiding over the meeting, recognized Mr. Cole and sent a messenger to have him escorted back into the hall with honors. The following day Mr. Funk sent a letter of apology to Mr. Cole for having him expelled from the meeting. Much was said about the prominence of Mr. Cole and the unfortunate treatment accorded to him by the Moosers. No comment was made on the right of any citizen to question a candidate on issues being discussed in the campaign without being hustled out of the meeting as a disturber. "The people rule," they cry, but a few insist upon being all the people. In 1908 Taft received 1,154,612 votes. If Funk were to take 200,000 of them away from the Republican party what good would it do him? It would not elect him but would elect Dunne, the Democratic candidate who as mayor gave Chicago the most inefficient administration it has had. Do you want this to happen? If you do, vote for Funk and it will come to pass. He has absolutely no show of being elected. Lalote Is Like Wagner. Lajole is like Wagner--hits any kind. In a game with the Highlanders Ford tried to pitch waste balls and walked him. One time he batted at a ball purposely thrown wild, and made a single. The second time he repeated, but made a two-base hit. Thereafter Ford put them over. --- TWO FLATS—TWO FLATS Only $200 to $400 Cash Down Great opportunity to secure a bargain.
