Such men and leaders are a menace to the race and the sooner we know them the better. Even the staid old Tribune arises in fairness and endorses Mr. Villard's attack upon Mr. Wilson and his policy. Yet Napier says McAdoo and Wilson have no desire to harm the colored race. Says the Tribune of October 30: Consistency Begins at Home "While President Wilson was enunciating a very idealistic foreign policy in Mobile, Mr. Oswald Villard, editor of the Evening Post, a former if not present champion of Mr. Wilson, was attacking him vigorously for the administration's policy of segregating the Negro employees of the government. "Som show the coincidence is barbed. It would be more inspiring to read Mr. Wilson's declaration that 'We must prove ourselves the Latin American's friends and champions upon terms of equality and honor.' if we were not reminded at the same moment by Mr. Villard that Mr. Wilson is countenancing race discrimination in his own country. "That the administration is unable to defend segregation of Negro employees and is perhaps ashamed of its concession to Southern race prejudice is virtually confessed by Secretary McAdoo in his remarkable appeal to Mr. Villard to withhold his criticism as 'an injustice to a just man.' "Mr. Villard was right in refusing to withhold criticism. President Wilson, we are all anxious to believe, is a 'just man,' but if he is he will not ask immunity from criticism for what is a policy of injustice. Segregating Negroes is unjust. It deepens the line of social discrimination against them. It officializes race prejudice. It is contrary to the spirit of the constitution to say nothing of the work of President Wilson's political patron saint, the Declaration of Independence. It has no such pragmatic justification as may be urged for white supremacy when the want of education and moral discipline among the Negroes make their dominance dangerous. It is race prejudice in its least defensible form "President Wilson is advancing a foreign policy based on the principle that we cannot recognize governments which defy law and build order only on the oppression of the people. In this policy he has the support and approval of the American conscience. But what weight will be given these declarations of policy and principle if President Wilson himself permits, for his political ease, an administrative practice which is not in keeping with the spirit of our own constitution, much less with our declared ideals of human equality.

The above is the way Governor Ferris today expressed his opinion of George Smith, the colored boy who is playing such a brilliant game with the M. A. C. football team. In both the Wisconsin and Michigan games Smith was a star, outplaying Butler, the All-American tackle, in the game at Madison. Smith is a graduate of the Ferris institute in Big Rapids, where he received his first football training.

Dunne issued the first of the week a proclamation urging an observance of Thanksgiving day, designated by President Wilson as Thursday, Nov. 27. It is distinctively a national holiday, handed down since the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, whose impress upon our civilization has not yet been erased, despite the flocking into our country of people from every quarter of the globe.

[Special to The Chicago Defender.] Portland, Maine, October 31.—The Rev. M. B. C. Mason, D. D., of Cincinnati, O., one of the most eloquent and thoughtful speakers of the M. E. connection, delivered one of the strongest attacks on the president of the United States ever heard in this section. He characterized the administration as crazy for practicing segregation of its colored employees. Dr. Mason, who is generally acknowledged to be the greatest orator since the death of Fred Douglass, was here to speak at the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the race. He chose for his subject the "Second Emancipation." Mayor Oakley C. Curtis, aldermen and others were present and spoke. Their speeches paled into insignificance compared to that of Dr. Mason. It was a most fitting occasion. Old soldiers, American flags, national emblems gave the speaker greater power and force of speech. Mayor Curtis paid a high tribute to the race for its progress which it had made under great difficulties, saying it had produced some of our ablest editors and orators and most patriotic citizens. Dr. Mason was then introduced. He said: "Abraham Lincoln was an oasis in the desert. His native soil was not indigenous to the making of men. Slavery had choked the avenues and stunted the very soil. Abraham Lincoln was a genius of the genuine sort. He had all the elements of the great men of earth who had preceded him. He was possessed of the wisdom of Socrates, the statesmanship of Washington, the unselfishness of Moses and the lofty vision of St. Paul. Of him could be said as of John, 'He was a man sent from God.' He held in firmly and steadily, and he saved the FIND THIS LITTLE BOY BY EITHER WHITE Mother of Child Still Hopeful and That Her Child Will Be Restored of The Defender and Its Many the Boy, She Hopes to Have Hi --- Chicago police today are confronted by a new mystery—the first kidnapping case ever reported here, according to the record.

This was the first great emancipation. "But important as was the first emancipation, the Afro-American needs a second emancipation, and the second emancipation, in the very nature of the case, is more important than the first. The first had to do with breaking the chains off the Negro's body; the second has to do with breaking the chains off his soul. The first was largely physical, the second must be spiritual and moral. The first was the measure of interest that others had for him; the second must be the measure of interest that the Negro has in himself. The question today is not what is the white man going to do with the Negro, or what is the Negro going to do with the white man, but what is the Negro going to do with himself. Upon the Negro's answer to this question depends his future in the republic. The Great Question. "What is there that the Negro has accomplished—that he shall say to these brave men who saved the nation and made a fact of emancipation, that what they did was well done? I make this proposition, that never before in all the history of the world has there been such a spectacle as was witnessed in the condition of the Negro after the surrender at Appomattox. Our nation turned him loose without a cent after 250 years of service. Slavery had left him without a hope and without a sense of manhood. Such was the condition of the Negro in America. He started out to win for himself and for those who believed in him. What is his condition today? He has been getting some money, some farms and some homes. He has more than $600,000,000 in taxable property, and that does not begin to tell the story. The Negro has had long enough association with his white brother to find out that it is BOY, KIDNAPPED E OR COLORED MAN And Says She Has Faith in God stored to Her, and with the Help any Readers Who Will Look for Him By Sunday Night. well dressed and of large stature. Another one of his playmates says the man that took the boy was colored. Arthur went home from school on that day and left his books in the house. Then he started out to play with several playmates. He was approached by a man who asked him if he liked automobiles, according to the playmates. He said he liked to ride in them. He was then asked if he liked street car rides, and he said he did. The stranger told him he would give him a ride some time. Arthur then left the playmates and walked along the street south with the man. At 48th street the two were seen to board a north bound State street car. The police are working on several theories. One has to do with the Holstein murder case. Two detectives have been assigned to the case. We hope they have not taken him for the copper-colored man they are so eager to get. ANNOUNCEMENT The Chicago Guards and the U. S. Bov Scouts. The West Chicago Guards commanded by Major Frank A. Steward, and the United States Boy Scouts No. 1 of Chicago, commanded by Major Stephen J. Hordel have incorporated their organizations into one association, with a regimental staff of twenty men, with Major Steward as commander-in-chief, and Major Horde as senior major of the First battalion. not good business to reveal his property at its full taxable value. "But you cannot build a race solely upon stocks and bonds and mortgages. I go a step farther. What has the Negro done in the realm of the intellectual? In the first place he has reversed his illiteracy in his race. In 1870, the illiteracy was 70 per cent; in 1910 it was 30 per cent. While I speak here tonight more than 800 Afro-Americans are taking special courses in the great universities of Europe. The race has received some of the highest honors from the greatest institutions of learning in America, too. In all the fields of scientific thought and inquiry he has been not only a student, but a contributor." Dr. Mason then asked what the Negro had achieved in the realm of the ethical and moral, and said that that was the measure of the man. He believed the Negro had still to make his mark, and yet his had been a wonderful progress. The average Afro-American had come to see that a home with wife and children made for the betterment of the race. After speaking of the treatment accorded him in Washington, Dr. Mason went on to say that there was nothing in the Negro's moral condition to cause one despair, but rather one might reasonably look forward to the grand consummation. When that came, there would be peace in the North, peace in the South—peace everywhere. Dr. Mason, who is corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will speak at the Congress Street Church every Sunday morning and in the afternoon at $ 0'clock he will speak at a mass meeting in the Chestnut Street Church. WRONG GUY ARRESTED Ohief of Police of Evanson Sued for $25,000 Damages. Mr. John A. Guy of Evanston, Ill., is not the George Henry Guy who is wanted at Plaqu, Ohio, for leaving his wife and three children. Last week efforts were made by Chief of Police Fred Shaffer to turn Mr. J. A. Guy over to police officers of Ohio who were there looking for George Henry Guy. There was a long harangue over the matter and the Evanston Guy was arrested to await reports in Ohio. Being a butler for Mr. W. A. Gardner, president of the Chicago & Northwestern, the Evanston Guy was immediately released on a thousand dollar bond and will appear today to have the bond released, he not being the right man. Guy claims that the trouble is all due to the fact that he opposed the election of the mayor who appointed Shaffer chief of police. Wednesday he filed suit for $25,000 for damages and attorney W. G. Anderson has the case. GRAND SESSION OF ELKS IN SESSION AT COVINGTON, KY.

While weather conditions had much to do with the size of the morning and evening congregations of last Sunday, the cloudiness and threatening showers seemed to have met the approval of the Sunday school teachers and scholars, for they turned out in large numbers and were in their places on time. Dr. Wilson is exceedingly desirous of building up the Sunday school and adding new features of attraction to this hour. He realizes, as does every wise and prudent leader, that upon the shoulders of the children and young people of today rests the future of the church. Therefore all young people who are living in this community and who have not as yet paid St. John a visit will find it both profitable and enjoyable to do so. Remember, a warm and hearty welcome awaits you. From now on we may look for new additions and added improvements to the school, the purpose of which will be to give enjoyment and to increase the efficiency of the scholars. And as for churcens services, even now no stone is left enturned in an effort to give to all such spiritual blessings as God would have them enjoy. Come and see for yourselves. The coming quarterly meeting, November 16, promises to be a memorable occasion. For Dr. Wilson is planning a week of praise services to precede this extraordinary service. The $400 rally is another important event to take place next month on the fourth Sunday. Quarterly Institute. The first quarterly Intermediate and Junior rally for this conventional year was held at Botel church last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Large crowds of young endearcers poured in and marched to their places with a Christian Endeavor air. When things began to look as if the spacious auditorium of the church would shortly be filled the president, Mr. Frank C. Lowry, assisted by the superintendent, Mrs. Ella Allenworth, opened the meeting with devotional exercises, after which St. John Intermediates sang their favorite song, "The Sign of the Fire." Mrs. Susie Newton then delivered a welcome address. The next number, a vocal solo, "The Perfect Day," by Miss Iva Ellison, the C. E. Union's faithful and sweet little singer, was enjoyed beyond measure, and moved the hearers to give the chauquaqua salute. Dr. R. A. Adams next delivered in a plain yet forceful manner a special sermon to the Endeavors, which was greatly enjoyed and most gladly received. Now came the anxious and deciding moment, when the representatives were counted, to see which society would get the beautiful new banner which was made especially for this occasion. Quinn Chapel was the winner, having thirty-four Juuiors present. Preceding the consecration service led by Dr. Adams Miss Iva Ellison and Mr. Frank C. Lowry rendered a beautiful duet, "Let Him In," for the invitation. This phase of the service was most solemnly carried out, and left each one deeply impressed with the splendid work which the Allen C. E's of the Chicago district are endeavoring to accomplish. ST. LUKE'S M. E. CHURCH. Bey Erly R Lewis Panton Hev. Edw. R. Lewis, Pastor. On last Sunday Rev. Clemmons preached for us in the morning. The Sunday school was well attended, as usual; the interest in the lesson was so great that we found ourselves discussing it far after the Sunday school hour had passed. The review of the lesson, conducted by our superintendent, Mr. T. Smith, was very interesting. The lyceum, headed by our beloved Attorney Cantwell, is meeting with much success. He is deserving of all the good things that might be said about him because of this one fact—he has made good in the lyceum work for St. Luke. We will expect greater things from him in proportion as the lyceum grows in numbers and we give our loyal support. A cordial invitation is extended to the public, especially the people in our immediate neighborhood, to visit us on Sunday afternoons at 4 o'clock and use our library. Our revival, which started Wednesday night, was well attended during the past two evenings. We believe that God is going to shower us with blessings in proportion as we pray earnestly for the saving of souls in this community. Good preaching each evening at 7:30. MT.

We wish that when these entertainments are given that all members of the church and choir will please attend, because it is for the benefit of the church that the choir is trying to exist. The Woman's Union of Chicago and vicinity met at our church last Monday, October 27. The meeting was largely attended. After morning services we dismissed for one hour. The ladies of Mt. Marian Circle served a delicious luncheon and we all thought there were some good cooks somewhere in Mt. Mariah. We then reassembled for the afternoon services. One of the features of the meeting was a beautiful program, consisting of songs and papers, and was beautifully carried out by those who took part. Our church and pastor are glad to welcome the union at any time. Harvey, Ill., Oct. 31.—Mt. Zion Baptist church has called Rev. S. A. Sanders, late of the Second Baptist church of Maywood, Ill., to their pastor. Services at the church last Sunday, though the weather was inclement, were well attended at each service. Every department of the work is being reorganized. The Sunday school will begin at 9:30 a.m. m. The Missionary so letty meets at 6:30 p.m., directed by Mrs. Susie Woodson, president. The Sewing Circle will meet every Thursday afternoon, guided in the work by Mrs. Thornton Jones. We are expecting to accomplish great things for the Master in Harvey. Rev. S. A. Sanders, pastor. Altered Circumstances Duncan Macpherson was playing golf. Going out he drove brilliantly over a stream in a hollow. "My, but yon wis a fine drive ower the bonny wee burn," he remarked to his caddie. Coming home he had to play over this same "burn" for another hole and drove right into it. "Gang an ye fish t'b bu' oot o' yon dirty sewer," he growled. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER News Notes of the Nation's Capital [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Washington, D. C., October 31.—Popular interest in the Panama Canal grows in volume and intensity, as that unique waterway -nears completion. Contemplated as the beginning of a revolution in the commerce of the western world or as a stipendous feat of engineering, the Panama Canal furnishes a common ground upon which the merchant prince and the humblest layman may meet in inquiry and wonderment. The Negroes of the United States, of the West Indies, South America, and the islands of the Pacific, like their brethren of lighter hue, are anxious to learn everything possible about this remarkable link that connects the two oceans over which they are most likely to travel or on which they are apt to do business. It and its testimony of Mr. a composer here the P. West 42d a publishing cialty of p. productions. We also copy of "To melody by apolls, Ind. The Univ. annual autumn niday ever Odd Fellow Thornton is organization Walter J. Freeman, chaplain; J Situated as it is, immediately below the states of the South, where eight millions of American Negroes live and must work out their destiny, and as the natural channel of trade for other millions of dark skinned peoples in the West Indies, the Panama Canal is of peculiar and absorbing interest to this element of the body politic, be they farmers, cotton planters/ shippers, warehousemen, traders or laborers. All have a stake in the monumental commercial results that are expected to grow out of the opening of this inter-oceanic artery, an event to occur within the next few weeks. In anticipation of the keen curiosity that will be excited by the opening of the canal, Lloyd S. Carrington, an enterprise young business man, halting from Bridgeton, the capital of Barbados, has secured the consent of the Isthmian Commission to exhibit the entire series of "slides," owned by the United States Government, showing the various stages of the construction of the canal, from its inception to its practical completion. The Negro's Part in Building the Impense Waterway. These slides, embracing several hundred separate views, give a vivid portraiture of the dredging, of the shallows, the marvelous work of the gigantic steam shovels, carrying away the dirt, the building of the locks, the picturesque scenery along the line of the waterway, showing the massive Gatun dam, the Culebra Cut, the raging Chagres river, and the pretty harbors at either end of the stream, Colon on the Atlantic side and Panama at the Pacific terminus, both destined to be the seaports of international fame. The history of the canal will be graphically traced from the early experiments by the French, the revolt in Panama and the acquisition of the "Canal Zone" by the United States, and the labors of the Isthmian Canal Commission, directing the skilled builder and broad visioned Col. Goethals, to the triumphal close of the operations, marked by the their oceans, to be followed shortly by the entrance of naval dreadnoughts and the speedy merchantmen that carry the commerce of the world in their cancious "holds." Not only does Mr. Carrington tell of these things in the lectures, the government's "slides" are to illustrate, but he will detail the helpful part the Negro has played in the construction of this great Canal, the vast army of workmen employed and the wages they have been paid. The manners and customs of these thrifty people, their joys and their sorrows, their hopes and their achievements will form a large chapter in the story Mr. Carrington is to present to the American public. Not least in the catalogue will be a clever analysis of the trade relations influenced by the canal, as regards both the white and black races, and the economic importance of the canal to the black business forces in particular, viewed from the standpoint of an expert. Government Aids Popular Education The educational value of these illustrated lectures is to be seen at a glance, and the Isthmian Canal Commission confers a boon upon all in permitting the use of the government's vast picture gallery for this enlightening purpose. Mr. Carrington, trained in the best schools of Barbados, is admirably equipped to talk on the "ins and outs" of the canal, having spent seven years along the line of construction, studying every detail while serving as a clerk and in intimate touch with chiefs and subordinates, engineers and laborers. Mr. Carrington is now a student in the Law Department of Howard University. He has already a large number of dates engaged, but is willing to deliver this series of informing talks on the Panama Canal to any audience in the district or vicinity, if invited by churches, organizations, schools, etc., for time not yet taken. He can be reached by addressing him through the Law Department of Howard University. Mr. Carrington is a fluent speaker, is eloquent without flourish, and his facts and figures on the Panama Canal are such that cannot be obtained from any book now on the market. He can be heard to advantage by all who wish to learn at first-hand the inside history of the country's most notable achievement. Cheer up! The worst is yet to come! South Carolina seems determined to send Cole Blease to the Senate. Senator Vardaman delivered a lecture the other night on the only subject through which he can secure a hearing—the race problem. He says he is the Negro's best friend—God save the mark!—and adds that he loves the old "black mammy" class, now rapidly disappearing, but the new Negro—the "Afro-American," proud, intelligent and self-respecting, "gets his goat," as it were. He intimates that he fears for white supremacy if the black man is given an equal chance and fair play in the battle of life. We beg to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of an unusually attractive musical production by Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson, the talented and accomplished wife of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. The title of the piece is "Your Eyes Are Like Violets." and it comes to us through the courtesy of Mr. Wellington A. Adams, also a composer of note, who represents here the P. J. Music Company, 102 West 42d street, New York City, a publishing firm which makes a specialty of putting forward creditable productions by colored music writers. We also acknowledge with thanks a copy of "Tell Me," a new and lilting melody by Roy L. Burch of Indianapolis, Ind.

Coleman, president of the Hair Vim Chemical Company, left Monday for Raleigh, N. C., to attend the North Carolina Colored State Fair. She carried with her a consignment of 1,000 boxes of Hair Vim, representing a portion of the stock which she expects to dispose of while on her tour of the South Atlantic states. Dr. Coleman was accompanied by her business manager, Mr. J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Baltimore Times. Misses Mary Ola Chaney, Flossie Parnell and Rachel E. Bell are recent appointments in the public schools. Dr. C. W. Childs has introduced in the Board of Education of the District a resolution asking that Howard University so arrange its curriculum and hours of instruction in its teachers' and scientific courses as to allow the teachers of the public schools of the city to take advantage of the instruction planned by that institution this winter. Quite a number are desirous of taking the courses in pedagogy and those leading to degrees in liberal arts, and the matter of hours and term is one of the highest importance to them. The resolution was adopted and forwarded to the offices of Howard for their consideration. DR. E. E. UNDERWOOD TENDERED HONOR BY HOME CITIZENS [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Frankfort, Ky., October 31.—A state complimentary banquet was given by Young Men's Pride Lodge, No. 11, K. of P., Friday evening, October 17, in honor of the election of Dr. E. E. Underwood to the position of supreme keeper of records and seal by the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, North and South Africa, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, at Baltimore, Md. Dr. Underwood has held every office in the order and is one of the most prominent physicians in the state. He is education editor of the Loxington Weekly News, and was elected delegate at large to the Republican National Convention at Chicago, and has been elected to the most important office in the K. of Ps. of the state. He was the first colored doctor to be elected city physician for the poor. He has held the position as trustee of Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute and also the present medical physician. Prof. Mayo often referred to him with Messrs. T. E. Robb and T. L. Brook, two prominent business men belonging to every Negro lodge in the city. Dr. E. E. Underwood has stood foremost among his people as one of the best specimens of the Afro-American race and is highly esteemed among the white people. He is a member of the People's Pharmacy Company, the most popular place in town; is a delegate to the Mosaic Templars of America, the national convention of which will convene in Tuskegee next year; he takes an active part in church work; his wife is one of the elite of the Woman's Hospital Club and is very charitable in the religious work. Young Men's Pride shall long, be remembered for having given the first banquet of this kind in the state, which was held at Odd Fellows' hall. The hall was nicely decorated and prominent Pythians throughout the state gathered to pay honor to the worthy Dr. Underwood. Telegrams and special delivery letters were received from throughout the United States. A good way to remove old wall paper is to use the following solution: A thick pasty solution should be made by adding flour and a few ounces of acetic acid. This pasty solution should be applied with a brush to the old wall paper in quantities. After a few minutes the old paper can be removed in great strips very easily and with very little dust or dirt.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1913. HALLOWEEN. They only was me an' a bunch of kids more What live in this here neighborhood. 'At swined a few boxes from back of a store 'At we all that wasn't no good. To build a bonfire—hully gee, 'twas a sight— 'Th' sky for a block was all red. I wish Halloween would come round every night. Though we did burn up our old cowshed. The 'hold-up' season has com- The "hold-up" season has commenced a little earlier than usual. Make it your business to trade with the store that employs colored help. Divorcing the church from politics is a task that a number of our clergymen should engage in. Mrs. Pankhurst up to date hasn't been nearly as savage as the long distance reports pictured her to be. If you are not enjoying the full benefits of our new Y. M. C. A. it is your own fault, the building hasn't moved. It is to be hoped the shake up in the police department will put a stop to the shake downs in other departments. Through routing starts on the elevated next Monday; couples contemplating getting married can then take a long trip at a nominal cost. The season of concerts and dances is upon us and also the season to keep in touch with the coal man, the latter it is needless to say, is the most important. It might be a good idea to begin building fences for the aldermanic race next spring, we have plenty of good timber and with a pull all together can land our man. No, gentle reader, State street has not been deserted, the denizens have only gone under cover for a short while, owing to the cold snap, till they can make connections with an overcoat. Never since the Civil war have we had so many friends come out in the limelight to help us fight our battles, and never, too, has there been a time when we needed them. From Mobile, Ala., come the startling information that the white members of the longshoremen's union are often strike to enforce the demands of 1000 colored workmen. "The sun do move." There is no better time than the present to show your good feeling toward the Jewish race than by raising your voice in protest against the injustices that are being done them in Russia. Whenever we are given a chance we more than make good, as an evidence, George Smith who is playing left tackle on the Michigan football team made such a fine record Gov. Ferris sent him a letter of congratulation. The Appomattox Club is going to have the extreme pleasure of having Hon. Judge Cavanaugh address them on the afternoon of Sunday, November 2d. This club which has in its membership the brainiest men in Chicago, should take the initiative in all matters that concern the welfare of the race. Ex-Register of the Treasury, J. C. Napier, will now be kept busy explaining why he constantly held Secretary McAdoo up as a friend to the race, in the light of the letter he wrote Mr. Villard requesting him to keep mum on the much-mooted question. We are getting very tired of the colored politician who courts favor by selling out his race, we aim to put representatives in high positions that they may be a credit and a benefit to the race and not a tool of the white man. Perhaps no more noble sacrifice in the history of the city's life has been recorded than that of Mr. and Mrs. Wooley, the founders of Douglas Center. The center appears as an anxia in the heart of the black belt where these pioneers are holding out help hands to brothers and sisters of color, instilling in their hearts hopefulness and good cheer. The institution has been established as a meeting place where the white and black may confer on an equal footing for the uplifting of the race which suffers every evil of discrimination and prejudice. --- If you want to fully realize how old you are let your mind wander back to the little country town in which you lived and to those Halloween nights when fences, boxes and everything that mischievous boys could get their hands on, went to feed the flames of the bonfire in the vacant lot. The joys of youth are never quite equaled in after years. And the city boy has lost the best part of his life by not being reared in the country. Many mothers and fathers are prone to chastise a child for some little innocent prank, forgetting that they passed through the same stage. We are only young once, so the most should be made out of it. Chicago is woefully in need of an institution similar to the Y. M. C. A. where they can have the comforts of a home and protection; there are hundreds of girls who are employed daily and whose parents are in other cities that must seek places to stop; fortunately, some of our best people have thrown their doors open and have accommodated as many as they could, but Chicago is a big city and there are many traps set for the downfall of this unprotected class. We built our Y. M. C. A. with a great blast of trumpets and while it was needed the protection of our girls is of far more importance. It is time we looked into this matter. POPULARITY. In these days and times WE seem to be the general topic of conversation, and the churches not to be outdone have taken a hand in it and a deadlock between the house of bishops and the house of deputies, the governing body of the Protestant Episcopal Church, was brought about when the bishops voted to establish a separate bishopric for Negroes of the South, the bishop of this district to have a seat in the upper house. Doubtless this sort of segregation must be alright, coming from men who are supposed to walk in the straight and narrow path, and who preach, "Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you." To say the least it is certainly trying to be popular. SOCIALISM. There are many good things in the platform of the Socialists of Cook county, foremost of which is civil service for all employees of the city. If this were brought about graft to a great degree would be lessened, the general public would get better return for the money expended and there would be opportunities for our young men and women to get positions that are now barred to them. As it is everything now must be gotten with a pull and you are constantly at the mercy of the "boss" who stood for you, and at every change of administration you are out in the cold world looking for another easy berth, this, too, regardless of your efficiency. They also urge free school books, breakfasts, lunch, clothing, medical and dental attention for those too poor to get the same. The Automatic Telephone system is another utility that the city should take over, with this as weapon the Chicago Telephone Company can be held to charging nominal prices for the use of their service. The Socialistic platform has always been best from a colored man's standpoint, and at the coming election more will join their ranks than ever before. We are no longer tied down to one party and the party that appeals to our sense of justice and the one that does the most for us is the one that will get our support. We are of promises—and some of us are from Missouri. VILLARD ON THE ADMINISTRATION President Wilson is being fairly deluged with letters of protest against his seeming policy of segregation, from every every city in the Union where there are any great number of colored people huge mass meetings are being held, and interested determined speakers of both races are decrying the injustices done under the new administration. Perhaps it not the most important, the one that attracted the greatest attention, was the meeting held in the District of Columbia the other evening when Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, made a strong attack on the President for his policy respecting the Negro. He had previously discussed the matter with several members of the cabinet and had received a personal letter from Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, asking that he withhold his speech as it would be an injustice to a just man. This Mr. Villard refused to do; he not only made public the letter but characterized the attitude of the administration as political stupidity. There is no dodging the issue with Mr. Villard, you must come out in the open and declare yourself, and no man is so high but what he can be reached. It was an insult to attempt to bribe or intimidate a man of his stamp, and being in the right he feared no man, and his words fell with telling effect on the vast audience who had assembled to hear him. The leading papers throughout the country have commented upon it and altogether the sentiment that was aroused was anything but favorable to the present administration. Would that we had a few more like Oswald Garrison Villard. SUPPRESSION BY LAW. Now that Senator Vardaman has condescended not to oppose the confirmation on our minister to Liberia, doubtless we are expected to be joyous and give thanks to the mighty chieftian, but somehow or other it is hard to get up the right kind of enthusiasm. There is but one class of positions, or rather Jobs, for he would not dignify them by saying positions, that he could toss the colored man, and they are the kind that the white man doesn't want or wouldn't take. "I am not an enemy of the colored man. I want to see him prosper and enjoy life, and I believe in giving him every protection necessary for his well-being. But," continues this rebel like senator, "I unhesitatingly assert that political equality leads to social equality, and social equality leads to race amalgamation." And there's the rub, behind all this bluster our enemies are but fearful of one thing, and that is social equality; we must never aspire to that. If they but knew how little we cared for their society they would stop harping so much about it. This social standard has a little way about it of adjusting itself, it is not a matter of color, riches or brains. Our associates are selected not forced upon us. To enact laws to keep us in what they are pleased to term our place, shows a decided weakness on their part and pays us a pretty compliment. We can only add in passing, there are no obstacles that cannot be surmounted; we have struck the right trail and are forging ahead at a speed that makes the whole world take notice. Our path is not strenued with roses for we have a Vardaman, and his lik to contend with, but the thing worth having is worth fighting for, and into the breast of every colored American is this fighting germ being instilled. We have done much in fifty years. We will do more when the curtain rings down on the next half century. We are in the procession and it is only a matter of time when we will be playing in the band. OUR PART OF THE PANAMA CANAL. There were about 45,000 men working on the Panam Canal and of that number only nine thousand were white. As the work is fast coming to a close, each day finds droves of workmen leaving for their respective homes. Life on the lathsmen to most of them has been much more pleasant than they anticipate; the dressed yellow fever and other diseases peculiar to that locality have long ago been conquered and the mortality barring accidents, is no greater than elsewhere. Men and women in spite of the disparaging reports locked to this enterprise because it led them into new fields and mainly because the wages were alluring, three and four times as much as they were getting at home. And when money is in the balance people will risk their health and life in order to obtain it. The Panam Canal district being under military law ran like clockwork, each man and woman were kept to so middle with other people's affairs or get into mischief. In fact they lived as one big family, the form of socialism provided, at least a form of socialism that the ratio was about five colored to one white, and what has been accomplished there on a small scale can be accomplished right here in these United States, if those who hold the reins of government and live up to the constitution. In Panam there was the something the man wanted that the white man wanted, his labor, and they found it advisable to lay aside their prejudices and feign friendship and a semi-brotherly love until their end was gained, as we stated it was under military discipline, and if any had feeling between the races did exist they were afraid to let it crop out. They were being paid exceptionally high wages and their living conditions were infinitely better in most cases than what they had been used to, hence the yielding to the inevitable. But now they are going back home, both the black and the white, and they must again adjust themselves to the same old condition, a condition which is a disgrace to any civilized country. Panama has shown to the world that it is possible for the two races to work side by side in perfect harmony, so there is no valid excuse for the treatment the colored people receive at the hands of white Americans. We have been picking the chestnuts out of the fire long enough for this vaunted superior race and insist someone else take a hand at it. At the Millennium Whenver men and women learn, To be themselves from day to day. To spend no more than what they earn, To be able to earn what they say; When men can see another wear A finer raiment than they own And neither give a sigh nor care; And neither give a smile nor bone; And when they cease to仁仁 in debt To keep a little swift pace. There will be less of vain regret; And earth will will be free. —Detroit, Free Press. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER THE REASON WHY. Why We Should Be Called Afro-Americans, Instead of Just Negroes. All nationalities are known by the country from whence they came. This custom or manner to determine races as you may deem it is applied emphatically to all nations of the world except us Afro-Americans. We I am ashamed to state, have unscrupulously adopted from a certain prejudiced lexicographer the unmany name "Negro." The word Negro is simply a Latin noun which means nothing more than that we are just black. And here the definition ends in as much obscurity as the name implies. We are more than just mere Negroes, which solely and wontonly states the hue and texture of our cuticle, without reference to the land of our origin, or the land of our birth. We are not ashamed of our African ancestry, for we can look back with pride over the dimmed pages of history, brilliant with great men and achievements. Art, architecture, and science, in the land of Ethiopia, when the city of Meroe was in her glory, she was the marvel of the continent. If any one feels that he has reason to be ashamed of his ancestry let him read Farrar the historian. "Or in the Land of the Pharaohs," by Duse Mohammed. Also read of Juan Latino, who was captured in the northern part of Africa and sold to the famous family of Gonzalo De Cordova. He had a great aptitude for learning, and was permitted to learn grammar and other studies then in vogue in Spain. His master granted him his liberty. He lived at Granada, and was professor of grammar, Latin and Greek in the University of Granada, which he held for sixty years. Juan was an excellent Latin poet. He sang the birth of Prince Ferdinand II, the deeds of Plus V's pontificate and the times of Don Juan of Austria at Lepanto. The book, a quarto volume, is in Latin, and was printed in Granada in 1573. There is also another book in Latin by the author of the Escuriae, which was printed in 1575. These who have read the beautiful chapters of Cervantes' "Don Quixote" will run across quotations from Latino. His epitaph reads, "Filium Nithilium proleges nigerrima patrum." We are proud of our African lineage because they were the fathers of civilization. They were not a protarianian people but a superior people whom modern historians have been clever enough to evade discussing. This reference is made to show why we should prefix Afro in conjunction with American instead of being just "Negroes." We are Americans because we have earned and won an empire we light through centuries of privation, hardship and with brown and might. We have earned and light in every war that the country has wugged. We have met the enemy with sword and bayonet. We have charged the flaming muzzles of their cannon. The flag in our hands has never trailed in the dust. We have never martyred a President. Then in view of the foregoing why not hand down to posterity that which will teach them manhood, that to be black is no disgrace, that honor lies in love of one's history? What's in a name depends entirely upon what the name purports to define. But when the definition is clear, and oftimes to a baser, meaner declination, which is fast becoming a national taunt to insult and intimidate, I say Afro-American now and forever. W. M. O'NEAIL. SPECIAL NOTICE TO PARENTS Dean Smith of Wendell Phillips High School is reported to have said she believed in segregation of colored schools. She has been calling a special meeting of the colored students to lecture them with the hope of having them consent to segregation, then she will tell the school board the children favor it and there it will be. The Defender calls to arms its minute men, their parents, its business men, its lawyers, doctors and ministers to go to the front and speak against this action. Tell your children to hear no such lectures. Let no student of Wendell Phillips countenance such an idea. Let each student read the life and character of the name of their alma mater and take the stand he took. Ruled it out if it is, we need colored teachers to break down the barrier of prejudice. We endorse the movement of putting colored teachers at Wendell Phillips, as at other schools. Appomattox Club. It is now time for Appomatox Club to get busy. Let's see what it can do for the opportunities of the younger race and those prepared to fill places with intelligent service. 'DEACON' JONES CLIMBING Twenty-five Years on City Pay Roll. "Deacon" Jones, one of Chicago's most efficient and capable detectives, quietly celebrated, this week, his-25th anniversary as an officer of the law on the Chicago police force. Mr. Jones has a remarkable record—one that stands pre-eminent as a first-class officer. No man on the force is more highly respected than he as a Christian gentleman. His partner is the well-known Officer Starks. Their chief says, "When you go after'm, they get 'em." Shrewd Dodce. "This new murderer is a foxy one." "How so?" "Declares he's perfectly sane. Now, of course, everybody will have to go to work to prove he's insane." An, Yesi "Why do you call Miss De Style 'fictitious character?' " "Because she's made up." WASHINGTON GILIPINAS Insanity, Heredity and Venereal Disease. Syphilis is responsible for a great amount of insanity. Syphilis is responsible for the kind of insanity popularly known as "Softening of the brain," it is called scientifically "General Paralysis" or "Paresis." A large amount of insanity is curable. It is the consensus of opinion of the best scientific men, that insanity induced by syphilis is incurable by any means known to the medical profession; and that the very substance of the brain undergoes gradual change toward decay and the individual lives only a few years. Syphilis is a germ disease. It is usually the result of immoral habits on the part of men who have been ill and yet, many contract syphilis in immature and ignorantly. Every man and boy ought to know that by immorally associating with bad women or every woman and girl should know that by yielding to temptation to associate or go with immoral men, they are exposing themselves to the probability of contracting this disease which may result in after years in softening of the brain or incurable insanity. Gonorrhea is largely a local disease whereas, syphilis is more generally dissimilated and is more transmissible from one person to another, as husband to wife—husband to child before it is born or wife to child after being infected by a syphilic husband. Therefore, syphilis can be inherited. Gonorrhea is not inheritable. The child may contract syphilis from both father and mother. Mothers have been infected by husband and the child escape. An infected father can beget a syphilic child whose life on earth may be short and much handicapped, and yet, the mother escape. A great many of the miscarriages, and childless women are due largely to the syphilic spilla emblem from the father. These syphilic babies look like old men and women—growth is slow—there is always some mental or physical defect. This syphilic infection is not always active—it may lie dormant, the individual for from ten, fifteen, twenty to twenty-five years or more, and just when the poor victim feels that everything is coming his way, he may be suddenly stricken with paralysis—fie suddenly or become an infirmed, helpless paralytic invalid, and suffer for many years. A syphilitic baby will infect its wet nurse if the disease is active in it (as was plainly shown by the wet nurse in the play "Damaged Goods," when she refused to even be bribed by the wealthy parents of the syphilitic Dupont child), when there are syphilitic patches in the mouth of the child or sores, and the mother or wet nurse has cracked nipples, the baby should be put on the bottle. We stated some time ago that gonorrhea was not as transmissible as the syphilitic germ: the best scientists claim that the gonococcus infection plays an important role in certain diseases. It is largely responsible for sterility or lack of children in both male or female. It is largely responsible for many miscarriages or premature births through the infection of the placenta. Gonorrhea is often responsible for deformity in the development of the child—it is responsible for some eyes, and blindness of the fetus as "Ophthalmia neonatorum." This disease is infection of the eyes, is a reproach to theents, doctor or nurse. If the doctor and nurse have performed their full duty then the reproach lies at the door of the parents. Those husbands and wives who are anxious for children should not blame either member of the union, until both have undergone a careful investigation, and examination as to the causes. The husband should visit his family physician or some good physician and have himself examined before subjecting the wife to examination unless he knows of some good cause or reason why he should not be examined. It often turns out that after the wife has undergone repeated examinations and treatment for sterility, the cause is not in the wife, but in the husband. We have in the past, been in the habit of beginning at the wrong end of the pole. We should right about face, and begin at the husband's end of the pole or at both ends of the pole at one and the same time—that is, examine the husband and wife.

From the Department of Health. All humanity needs is a fighting chance. Take as good care of your children as you do of your live stock and they will, no doubt, come out all right.

Of courses, from the health standpoint, indoor crowds are more dangerous than are street crowds. Especially is this true of all places where the ventilation is poor, for example, in moving picture theatres that are not equipped with proper and adequate ventilating devices. It is said that New York leads all American cities in the number and character of its public comfort stations. London has spent $500,000 in building these greatly needed conveniences and spends $500,000 annually in their maintenance. Chicago, the second city in the Union, has but two public comfort stations in the entire loop district, and these are located in the basement of the Washington street side of the City Hall. The Chicago Woman's Aid has started a move to secure more of these public accommodation the down town section and is asking the people to aid in securing an appropriation from the City Council for this movement. the women who are behind this movement are endeavoring to get the city to install a public comfort station in the basement of the Randolph Street end of the Public Library where space for that purpose has been offered by the Library Board. Discussing in the September number of the Journal of the American Public Health Association the fight now being waged against tuberculosis, Dr. I. W. Brewer-thinks that so long as we have large centers of congested population, this dread disease cannot be wholly stamped out. To quote his own words, he says: "The only way we can make any permanent headway against tuberculosis is to scatter the population that is now congested in the larger cities. This can only be done by removing the establishments in which we work to the rural, districts." The Doctor points out that low rentals and taxed cheap land, and, best of all, the savvy human lives, should be sufficient inducement to bring about the changes he advocates. In support of the practicability of his plan, the Doctor calls attention to the fact that already many important industries have moved to the smaller towns and are operating with even better success than when located in the big city. Not content with urging the removal of the factory from the big city as a means of conserving the public health. Doctor Brewer proceeds to give in a few words, his conception of the ideal factory. In his opinion it should be located in a park surrounded by trees, through which should run broad streets lined with the workmen's cottages. Such work places, it may be rightfully urged, are a blessing in every way to the community in which they are located. And it is true beyond question that the most successful industrial establishments are those that are doing the largest amount of welfare work for their employees in making their working surroundings clean, healthful and attractive, and in other ways doing the things that contribute to their comfort and safety. MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN Old Gentleman Went Too Far in His Inquiry, and Demonstration Proved His Undoing. An elderly gentleman walking through his garden one day stopped before a fig tree on which were two figs just ripening. His favorites were figs, and summer often came and went without the fruit coming to maturity. Shortly after, he met his gardener, who, assuring him the figs were quite ripe, was requested to send them to the summer house, where his master was about to rest. Picking the figs, the gardener sent his little boy of seven with the basket. On the way the little stopped and, removing the leaves, gazed upon the tempting fruit. The attraction was too great; he ate one. Covering the other with the leaves, he proceeded upon his errand. On being asked if the gardener had not sent two figs, the boy, after a moment's silence, answered: "I ate one." "You ate one? How?" exclaimed the old gentleman, angrily. "How did you come to do that?" Dropping his eyes to the basket. "I took it like this," said the child, taking the remaining fig, "and I ate it like this." And, sitting the action to the word; he consumed the second fig before the astonished eyes of the old gentleman. In a Fir Tree. In Scrappose, Ore, there is a windmill in a fir tree. The fir tree, which serves as a tower, was sawed off at a height of about 60 feet from the ground, and a well was sunk at the tree. A tank house was then attached to the side of the trunk some 40 feet above the ground. The wind wheel was placed above, and the ingenious owner has a model mill for all practical purposes. 10 Clean 15 Painting Sponge the painting careful with pure, soap - and, lukewarm, water, squeezing the sponge, fairly dry before using.

Mr. H. Fort里斯 delighted the audience with a beautiful piano solo, "By the Brookside," by Orth. Mr. L. H. Fort里斯, of Chicago's young lawyers, gave a plenid, practical address on the "Celebrations of a Free Man." It was a deep, philosophical and to the point: Prof. Alonzo J. Bowling, the modern Demosthenes of the race, swayed, thrilled and delighted his audience at will. His subject was, "Abraham Lincoln and the Negro." The address was purely a literary gem. He carried with it all the requisites of an ideal orator, a fine physic, a clarion voice, a master of rhetoric and a complete control of his subject.

Douglas 6965 CHICAGO Douglas 2186 "All Passes, Art Alone Endures" AIDA OVERTON WALKER AT THE PEKIN THEATRE The Greatest Aggregation Since the Days of Williams and Walker—For Style, Beauty and Grandeur See This Show. Beginning Monday night, Nov. 3, the patrons and the public will have the opportunity of seeing and hearing Miss Walker and her carefully selected company of modern thespians in a new and novel vaudeville concert entertainment. Of course Miss Walker is the bright particular star of this large aggregation, numbering thirty people, but the entire company has been under the careful training of Miss Walker for many weeks. Many contracts have been offered her to appear in the different cities where her name is a household word, but she heartily consented to appear here as she loves the people here as all of her previous engagements have always terminated with success and pleasure to herself and friends. Miss Walker takes rank among America's foremost stage celebrities of the day. Always considered a comedienne of the artistic class, she has been further honored by being the only colored lady that has ever been accepted as a dauseuse of the classics. A few months ago the world's great at impresario, Mr. Oscar Hammerstein of New York City, undertook to revive the dance "Salome." He looked all the great dancers of Europe and America over, including the sensational dancer Carmenita, Eva Tanguay, Gertrude Hoffman and many others, but from among them he selected our own Aida. When her name was announced to appear at Hammerstein's theater in the dance "Salome" it was a great surprise to the New York theater goers, but the correctness of Mr. Hammerstein's selection was clearly shown at the box office when the business during the week Miss Walker was seen in the dance "Salome" and after her first performance her engagement was extended from one to three weeks. Many of her friends will remember her when she was a shining light of the greatest colored organization ever produced, the ever to be remembered Williams and Walker show. You remember her as "Hannah from Savannah," later in male impersonations of "Bon Bon Buddie" and "That's Why They Call Me Shine." In making her appearance here next week Miss Walker will appear in an entirely new and novel repertoire, appearing three times at each performance. One of Miss Walker's ambitions has been to produce her own show and for this special engagement she has surrounded herself with a large number of clever, pretty girls of sweet voices and nimble of feet. Miss Walker will show for the first time her own arrangement with special music and electrical effects and scenery, her marvelous dance "La Ramba." marvelous dance "La Rumba." There will be matinees on Thursday and Sunday. The box office will be open on Sunday, Nov. 2. Secure seats in advance and avoid the rush. As a rule when we see the word jugglers on a bill we think right away, well, we're going to see the same old thing, but not so with the act presented this week at the Grand by the Maybelle Fonda troupe. In addition to their juggling they did some passable dancing, and in all their act was not bad. Captain Brunswick and company presented a breezy Western skit entitled "The Tenderfoot's Troubles." It was a little exaggerated, but afforded a world of amusement and the audience demonstrated their approval by generous applause. Cooper and Ricardo had a lively little set-to and got away with a passing mark. Then followed Joe Sinims and his aggregation of colored artists in a first part minstrels. While there were one or two clever things in it, on the whole it was far from being up to the standard. There is no excuse in this day and time for rehearsing old minstrel stuff. Every member of that company was capable of delivering the goods the kind the public wants—so it is no credit to them or to the race to throw something together regardless of its merits for the sake of a week or two booking. There will be an exceptionally strong bill next week. Among the attractions will be Edgar Connor and his Sambo Girls. You cannot afford to miss it. Madame Martha B. Anderson has returned to the city after an extended tour in the south and west. The patrons of the Lux are to be given a rare treat this Saturday and Sunday, when Manager Zurawski promises to give the entire production of "Quo Vadis," a production lasting two hours and a half, with the same exquisite film as was presented so many weeks to crowded houses at McVicker's Theater. This house has gained an enviable reputation for presenting high-class pictures and it justly deserves it, for there is nothing too good in the market, so the genial manager says, for the patrons of the Lux. As there will be but two days for the presentation of "Quo Vadis," it would be well for those contemplating seeing it to be there early. The State. Manager Tank of the State evidently enjoys competition; it gives him a chance to set a pace in the matter of pictures and high-class 'vaudeville, which he does to the queen's taste. Every week at this beautiful new theater seems to get better and, now that The Grand. : --- The Lux. the acoustic properties have been remedied, there is nothing more to be desired. This theater still draws large crowds, it being the nearest and healthiest on the South Side. RICHARD B. HARRISON IN RECITAL AT GRACE. Without doubt the greatest literary treat of the season will be enjoyed next Monday evening at Grace Presbyterian Church when America's greatest dramatic recitationist will give one of his inimitable renditions. For years Mr. Harrison has been the acknowledged foremost reader of this country and on this occasion promises to give Chicago a program the like of which he has never before rendered here and one that will inter- Richard B. Harrison, Reader. est, instruct and entertain all classes of people, and will augment his program by giving Dunbar members pictures made for him with special permission from Dodd, Mead Company of New York, publishers of the Dunbar books. Danim's "Damon and Pythias," Poe's "Raven" and Longfellow's "Robert of Sicily" will be the dramatic features of the program. Dungree's "Knights and Ladies of the Rising Staitl" and "When Bruh Moses Puts de Rousnents On," with several other humorous numbers, will make up the complete program. The Ways and Means Society are making strenuous efforts to give Mr. Harrison a crowded house and no doubt will succeed, as the name Harrison alone should fill any auditorium in Chicago. Miss Massingale is the ticket seller at the new Monogram Theater. She is a fine young woman and fits the place. The second cantata given by Mr. William Hill for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church, Wednesday, Oct. 29, was a grand success, from a financial standpoint as well as a literary venture. Matt Marshall and Tribble are in the city for five weeks. The Broilers. The Broilers will have their first meeting on Monday night at 1:30 a.m. at the Pompeii. It is said that one of the city scribes will be the guest of the evening. The Six Musical Spillers were in the city Tuesday and remained a few days. They are on Patages' time. Thanksgiving evening Walker's Jubilee Singers, assisted by some of Chicago's best talent, will entertain for the benefit of Fisk University Endowment Fund and Institutional Church. Mrs. M. Eliza Walker Crump, one of the original Fisk Jubilee Singers and the only one living in Chicago, has been delegated by Fisk University to do what she can by these concerts to swell the amount the university has pledged to raise in order to secure the pledge of our most generous friend, Mr. Julius Rosenwald. This university has thousands of staunch friends in Chicago. Come out and bring your friends. Names of participants and patronesses in next issue. REV. A. J. CAREY, Minister and Warden. GHOST FRIGHTENS CHICAGO HUNTERS Dr. M. R. Bibbs and Dr. W. S. Offices, two of our most eminent physicians, and Mr. Robert Stockton went gunning at Rockford, Ill., last Friday night. They went into the thickest of the country. Every time a rabbit bobbed up, down he came. Finally a ghost appeared. Dr. Bibbs looked at Dr. Office, who told Stockton, "This ain't no place for me." Officer and the dogs started and Bibbs was at their boarding place rested by the time Dr. Officer and Stockton arrived, yet they beat the dogs home. Miss Minnie Brown, the popular prima donna soprano, now in New York City, is being urged to run down here for a start concert about holiday time and she may accept the invitation. Miss Brown is a genuine musical artist. She is a 'cellist as well as a singer of renown. MRS. GOAL'S RECITAL. Mrs. Emma Goal, a student of Prof. S. I. Lee, will give a musical recital with the assistance of her pupils and Mr. Benjamin H. Lucas for the benefit of St. Mark's M. E. Church, 50th street and Wabash avenue, Tuesday evening, Nov. 18. Some men never borrow trouble; they buy it outright.

Will Marlon Cook will be able to present his Festival of Negro Music about the middle of November. The interpretation will be given by the pupils of the Washington Conservatory of Music, which is a certificate that the work will be well done. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the nation's best known dramatic reader, is preparing for a tour of the South, to fill long promised engagements. Mr. Miller, owner of the Monogram theater, has purchased the Merit theater and named it the New Monogram. Prof. William Dorsey has charge of the orchestra. DRAAMATIC NOTES T. Spencer Finley, the statesman-comedian of Washington, D. C., is "cleaning up" on the western circuit. Finley is one of the most original, best read and most up-to-date funmakers on the American stage, regardless of color. S. H. Dudley, always alive to some project that will make Washingtonians sit up and take notice, is to make a tour of the houses on his circuit, doing a "talkfest" with his favorite mule "Patrick," who was costar with Mr. Dudley in several of the large productions of "The Smart Set." Mr. Dudley and the mule will open in New York City at the La Fayette early in November, and the new line of conversation that the eminent comedian will pull off is said to be the most unique he has ever offered. At present "Patrick" is taking a delightful vacation at the Dudley farm in Chester, Pa., living off the fat of the land. Mrs. Blanche Deas Harris is the way this accomplished prima donna is styled nowadays on the billboards. Her recent appearance at the Howard was a personal triumph. Always a singer of merit, conscientious to the last degree, Mrs. Deas surprised everybody during her last engagement here by her marked improvement, both in quality of voice and method of interpretation. "Just for a Kiss" by Maurice B. Thomas is popular with the singers of class in society and on the vaudeville stage. Richard Green's music shop at 1853 7th street is handling the catchy songs of the day and is filling a long felt want among local and traveling singers. Clarence Bowens, a Washington boy who sprang into fame at the head of the Florida Strollers, is doing finely in connection with Shelton Brooks. Bowens is a singer of the first water and Brooks is the composer and comedian of the team with a planologue that is a "scream." Miss Effie King and Miss Leona Marshall are to "put on the bridal veil" at an early date, if current rumor is to be believed. "The Negro Players," under direction of Henry S. Creamer, and J. Leubrie Hill's "My Friend from Kentucky" are among the stellar attractions booked for an early appearance at the Howard Theater. The Brown Girls. Maybelle and Babe, will play a return engagement here week after next. They are classy performers and are getting better all the time. They make all of their swell gowns and have few equals in the wardrobe line. If negotiations now in progress are successful, Miss Lyllin Brown, the well known actress manager, will take over one of the play-houses at Washington in, assume the management herself, assisted by her Randville partner, Prof. William De Mont. This team has just concluded a ten weeks' engagement at Savannah, Ga., putting on new stunts each week—a striking evidence of their versatility and willingness to study. Some theatrical managers try to elevate the stage by raising the price of admission. Announcement In Advance Mr. Frank P.

Mr, Swann told the club that ‘Texas was the first stute to make an ap- propriation and appoint a commission to act with tho Illinois Exposition Commission, Mr. Quarle recited inci- dents of Negro progress that adds he said, “to the perpetuily of human re- ligion, morality, decency and good government.” A very comprehensive Femark he mado to the club wa, “You Play so well the poor hand you hold In the game of races, and you are sure to win.” Now that the preliminaries are over and the committees on membership are at work, Chicago can take notice ff it chooses to some very far-rench- ing plans which have for the making of better opportunities for the race generally. ‘The club voted Mr. and Mrs. Wood- lee thanks for their noble hospitality. The next meeting will be at the Philis Wheatley Home for Girls and will be entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell, resident superintendent, aud Miss Foster. Requirements for membership are good moral character, and it will take three black balls to reject applica- tions.

THINKS INVIGORATION IS IN AIR Welter's Explanation of Vital Differ ence Between the Londoner ‘and the: New Yorker. “The difference between New York and London,” « man once sald to me, “is this: In New York, If you have a new idea, you can get It car- ried out at once; in London, if you have a new idea, you are up against f@ brick wall.” I believe this to be true, writes Maurice Baring in the Metropolitan. People jn New York, and in America in general, are not afraid of new Ideas, nor, indeed, of anything rew. ‘They are not afraid of the future. Ia England. if a man finds, for instance, that his profession is uncongenial to htm, bowever certain he may be of the impossibility of lis making a suc- cess of it. he will none the less very rarely give it up, and try his hand at something else. ‘The futnre alarms him. In America a man will think nothing of throwing up his profession twenty times running, until he finds something which does sult him. I'think the cause of this particular difference lies In the climate of Amer fea, and especially Ties in the clfmate of New York. Just as the climate of some places fills the whole system with an invinetble desire to do noth- ing, with an insuperagle languor and sloth, n the same way the climate ot New York fills the body~and mind with the desire to be up and about. It 1s the nimble afr which produces the nimble wits; the stimulating at- mosphere which creates, in the dent- zen of New York, the love of bustle, hurry competition and work. I am not saying this is elther a good thiog or a bad thing—I am merely noting and recording what struck mo as be- ing the main differences between New York and London.

By C. L. Timberlake. The above is, the title of a, very neatly gotten up bulletin of fifty-sight pages, printed in clear type and embellished by numerous illustrations and attractive chapter announcements and subheads that reached the Defender's book table a few days ago. Apparently issued with the consent and under the esplonge of the department of education of the state of Kentucky, the fly page bearing a "foreword" tendered by the Hon. Barkade Hamlett, state superintendent of schools, Prof. Timberlake, the noted race educator and philanthropist, being responsible for its compilation and arrangement. State Superintendent Hamlett has been founding and pondering, over by race pessimists who are in the habit—not a good one—of discounting everything "Southern" having to do with race striving towards a higher and better equipment for life's battles and responsibilities. Said Superintendent Hamlett: "The issuance of this little bulletin is somewhat a departure from the regular order, but recognizing the great need of more interest among the colored people of our state along the lines of agriculture and domestic science, we have encouraged and to a certain extent encouraged the efforts of the author in the preparation of this work. With a deep and abiding interest in the betterment of the colored people of the state, we hope this bulletin may arouse great interest and accomplish much good" Some conturles ago it was asked "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" In a modest way but effective, the answer rendered by this Kentucky superintendent of schools is yes. We learn that Mr. Hamlett is the first superintendent Kentucky has had to recognize the needs of the colored people in the inadequate anerley they are dealt with in the bulletins issued by the whites. Among the subjects treated, in this valuable little work are "Household Ethics and Industrial Training," "Lessons in Home-making," and many good suggestions to teachers, parents and pupils in the caption "Help, Hints and Advice." The illustrations of "Winchester City School"; "Sewing Class, Winchester Public School"; "Class in Domestic Science, Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, Frankfort, Ky."; "Cooking Class, Winchester Public School"; "Department of Manual Training, Winchester Public School and Model School, Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute—Preparing the Soil for a School Garden." The introduction by the author contains many sound and progressive reflections emphasizing the need of vocational training and education; including reflections from Frederick Douglass and Booker T.

In my article in last week's issue relative to some of the things existing in some of the large buildings in the loop district I spoke of the Illinois Steel Company and its luxurious apartments. In this article I am going to speak of one of the clubs that have rooms in the Chamber of Commerce Building, at the southeast corner of Washington and La Salle streets, namely, the Builders' Club. This club's membership represents all in America—not the employees, if you are a member of the team, tract and build all the large buildings in this and other cities and abroad. This club, I dare say, represents over fifty millions of dollars. Mr. Robert G. Hall, who has been a resident of Chicago for more than forty years, has the distinction of being steward of this club for the last eleighteen years, a position he has filled with credit to the race as well as to himself. The club rooms are beautiful, with dining; buffet and lodging rooms and kitchen; and the supervision the following employees: Mr. James Ruedel and Julius Day, waiters, and P. Farmer, chef, and others. Luncheon is served every day; with the exception of Sundays. In the days of old, when political position was worth while, and the old guard who have passed out of memory, such as Judge Scales, Henry Wolf and others, who made their headquarters at the late Thomas Moran's place, Mr. Ruedel, the chief executive officer and days a man held such positions on their honor, as the cash register was unknown. Mr. Hall is one of our leading citizens, with a lovely home at 4338 Wabash avenue, and a charming wife who adores it. Had Him Worrying "Alphonse," the American girl ask-ed her, titled husband one evening, "why have you been so strange and cold of late?" "Didn't you tell me last week that your father was falling?" "Yes--physically, falling," she replied, "Oh!" and his look brightened. He havewed a sigh of relief. "Oh!" and all right, thought it was something serious."—Princeton Tiger. EVERYTHING ABOVE BOARD.

According to Old Trial, but Does Not Realize Her Possibilities', 'Says Writer. "What do you call the weak point?" Bowen paused. "The fact that the average American looks down on his wife." Mrs. Fairfair was up with a spring: "Really, Charles—if that's where paradox lands you!" Bowen really stood his ground. "Well—doesn't he prove it? How much does he let her share the real business of life? How much does he rely on her judgment and help in the conduct of serious affairs? Take Ralph, for instance—you say his wife's extravagance forces him to work too hard; but that's not what's wrong. It's normal for a man to work hard for a woman—what's abnormal is his not working on anything about it." To tell Undine: "Sho be bored to death if he did!" "Just so; she even felt aggrieved. But why? Because it's against the custom of the country. And whose fault is that? The man's again—don't mean Ralph, the man's again—he belongs to; homeapiens, Americans. Why haven't we taught our work? Simply because we don't take enough interest in them." Mrs. Fairford, shaking back in her chair, sat gazing at the virtuous depths above which his thoughts seemed to dangle her. "You don't—I mean the American man doesn't—the most slaving, self-facing, self-sacripling—" "Yes; and the most indifferent; there's the point. The 'slaving's' no argument against the indifference. To slave for a woman is part of the old American tradition; lots of people give their lives for dogmas they've believed to believe in. Then again, in this the passion for making money has proclaimed how knowing to spend it, and the American man lavishes his fortune on his wife because he doesn't know what else to do with it." "Then you call it a mere want of imagination for a man to lavish his money on his wife." "Not necessarily—but it's a want of imagination to fancy it all he owes her. Why does the European woman interest herself so much more in what the men are doing? Because she's so important to them that they make it worth her while! She's not a parenthesis, as she is here; they simply don't picture life without her."—Edith Wheaton, in Scrubber's Magazine. Killed When Giant Chimney Fell. A giant chimney collapsed at Workington, Cumberland, England, a few days ago. More than 25 lives were lost. The disaster has no known parallels to the county. At the street chimney, 150 fireworks fell suddenly at a local workhouse, seven-thirds of an hour after the day's work had started. The base of the chimney looks now as if the top had been shaved off with a giant scythe, and a portion lies intact on the ground. The remainder of the chimney crashed through the roof of one of the workshops, where fishway construction are made. The day's work of 60 men had started work in the shop, many of them had unnatural escapes. The roof of the workshop was crushed like an eggshell.

A certain railroad superintendent and trainmaster located here in Chicago, Ill., is 'discharging porters for protecting themselves from gross insults and disgrace from these Southern white-crackers and red-shifters. There are men in every civilized community whose happiness and usefulness would forever be destroyed by which another member of the same race is rarely receive for a five-dollar bill. Were the laws to authorize a man of elevated mind and refined feelings of honor to defend himself from indignity by death of the aggressor. Protect yourselves, fellow railroad men, in any part of this U. S. against these Southern white-crackers and red-shifters. It is a most serious calamity for a man of high qualifications for usefulness and delicate honor to defend himself with a crisis. Yet, should it become inevitable, he is bound to meet it like a man; to summon all the energies of the soul; rise above the ordinary maxims; pose himself on his own magnanimity, and hold himself responsible only to his God. Whatever may be the consequences, he is bound to bear them. Our colored railroad man, respect the laws of this country, but respect the laws of the present heads of the roads, on account of them not being unified as one; and if the men will get together with Hon.

The grave buries every error—covers every outragements every resentment. From its outragements none but fond regrets and tender emotion. Who can look down upon the grave of an enemy and not feel a compunctional throb that he should have worried with the poor handful of dust that lionduring before him? Selfishness is the arch enemy of virtue. From it all forms of immorality spring, and its last analysis is total deprivacy. The idle person is like one that is dead, unconcerned in the changes and necessities of the world; and he only lives to spend his time and eat the fruits of the earth, like a vermin or a wolf.
