Sporting writers delight in the term "white heavyweight champion," being reluctant to admit that Jack Johnson is the world's champion heavyweight fighter and aspirants for that honor, no matter what his color, must defeat him. This plain fact no doubt hurts, but they must know that the man who can scientifically fight his way to the heavyweight throne, has and always will be a personage to be ranked the great ones of the period. A man is only king because his father is one before him. A president is a president because of the successful efforts of his friends, but a Champion pugilist wins his place by virtue of the punch which he can fold in a five-pound glove. That he must be espeemed accordingly is the point that seems so hard for many to under- and. Women Make Good.

Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 13.—The Lexington Weekly News, the largest circulated paper in Eastern Kentucky among Negroes, defends the State Normal School for Colored persons and its President, G. P. Russell, who for twenty-two years taught at Lexington, and whose name the school now bears "Russell High School." Supt. Hamlett said the school was in politics. Russell is incompetent and some of his faculty, and the local board favored Russell. The Lexington Weekly News has the following to say: "The Colored State Normal School has been the subject of legislative investigation, and we are glad that President Russell ably cared for his charge. The school has done much good for our people during its life, and has only been prevented from doing more by the machinations of those in power. We believe that the school is entering a new era. Prof. Russell has done much to improve this school since he has been at its head and will do more if given opportunity. We should give him all the power and help we can to see that he and the school rise to their opportunity. We have often heard that Superintendent Hamlett was unfriendly to the school and its present head, but were not prepared to believe so until we read his testimony before the investigating committee. This testimony stamps him as a prejudiced man, and a prejudiced person is unfit for official position. Nothing so warps a person's judgment and ability as prejudice. Prof. Hamlett thinks he knows all about the school and it is stated that he has made only a few visits to the school. Yet it is almost in the shadow of his office. He does not seem to be able to live on pleasant terms with his official family. It is but natural for him to vent his spleen on the weakest object found. To such as he, all Negroes seem the object of their fire. Prof. Russell seems to have given him a good dubbing in the setting, and we are glad of it." OLD ACQUAINTANCES MEET. Professor W. H. Jones of Waverly, Va., formerly of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, stopped off in the city and visited the office of M. T.

Allain Pleads for Better Facilities for the Race—Large Audience Attends Interesting Lecture. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Springfield, Ill., Feb. 13.—Ex-Senator T. T. Allain lectured on "The Higher Education of the Negro" at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Friday evening of last week. A large audience listened to the eloquent speaker. Senator Allain dwelt at length on the need of better school facilities for the race in the Southern states. He urged the citizens of this district to write to their congressman and plead with him to cast his vote in favor of the Jones amendment to the agricultural bill, which the Southern congressmen are vigorously combatting. He quoted Dr. Booker T. Washington and Professor Du Bours on many incidents of race progress and said that in the United States by thrift and diligence the race had accumulated $700,000,000 and are the possessors of over 20,000,000 acres of land in the most favored agricultural districts. Abraham Lincoln's Prayer. He recited Abraham Lincoln's prayer at Gettysburg in 1863 and declared that God Almighty heard him. He gave the G. A. R. thanks for saving the Union and making freedom possible. Speaking of illiteracy, he said that the race made its best showing along that line. According to the United States census it was reduced from 90 per cent in 1863 to 30 per cent in 1910; while the Russian serfs, with 90 per cent in 1863, now have 70 per cent, cutting down only 20 per cent in fifty years. In the last decade the foreign white people in the United States have increased their illiteracy, while the race has reduced their 14 per cent. He discussed emancipation, and cited the four great lessons in the bible. COLONEL DENNISON TALKS ABOUT NEW ARMORY Overheard Governor Instruct State Architect to Prepare Plans. Speaking with Governor Dunne at the Institutional church, Sunday night, Colonel F. A. Dennison, of the Eighth Infantry, I. N. G., cheered the hearts of the members and friends of the regiment by a short talk on the new armory. The occasion was a meeting by the Illinois commission of the national half-century anniversary of Negro freedom. Colonel Dennison said that the state was about to build an armory for the regiment at 35th street and Forest avenue. He was positive that their hope would soon be realized, as he had overheard the governor instruct James B. Dibellua, the state architect, to prepare plans commensurate with the "service and dignity of the regiment." BUSINESS LEAGUE TO FOSTER CO-OPERATION BUSINESS LEAGUE TO FOSTER CO-OPERATION Louisville to Be as Famous for Its Business Enterprises as It Is for Its Beautiful Women if Plans of the Recently Reorganized League Are Carried Out Future Success Depends Upon Citizens. Named by Our Correspondent. HIGH TYPES OF PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS. Local Business Men Successful—Many Opportunities for, Establishing, New Enterprises—Two Public Libraries, Substantial and Well Furnished Y. M. C. A. Building—Work is Plentiful for, Those Who Seek It. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) By Ralph W. Tyler. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 13.—At one time Louisville was famed for its beautiful women and for the generous hospitality dispensed by the citizens to strangers visiting the Fall City. Beautiful women are as plentiful here now, and hospitality is dispensed just as lavishly as when this city's fame rested most largely upon these two admirable recommendations. Just now, however, the men of Louisville are occupied with the question—how can we accelerate our business progress. With this in view, the Local Negro Business League, which had been more or less inactive, recently reorganized, electing Editor Wm. H. Steward president, and it was the consensus of opinion that the league, and the citizens need to become more active if the race was to maintain the pace set by some other cities. During my three days visit here I made a call upon every business man, and learned from each one what he believed was necessary to business success, and each one pronounced in favor of co-operation. In Louisville work is plentiful for those who seek it, and opportunities for establishing new business. I find that individual progress has been made at the expense of co-operative progress. The best evidence to show that the race in this city is awakening is that they themselves have discovered this. Louisville has two splendid public libraries for the benefit of the race in every way the equal to the whites, except in size. It also has a substantial and well furnished Y. M. C. A. building. I learned, while here, that the future of the race in Louisville, along material lines depends largely upon the harmonious and active co-operation of the following men, who are really among Louisville's high types of progressive citizens, and they are: Wm. H. Steward. J. B. Cooper, C. H. Bulkook T. F. Parks, Rochelle Smith, S. W. Jordan, A. D. Porter, J. H. Hathaway, A. B. Ridley, A. E. Meyzeek, P. A. Curtis, E. H. Hall, W. W. Spradling, Guy W. Smith, T. F. Blue, E. A. Clark, Chas. H. Rogers, D. E. Ferguson, W. B. Mathews, David Stewart, Wm. H. Shepard, W. J. Walls, W. T. Amglus, W. B. Perry, J. S. Colter, C. H. Parrish, Dr. E. D. Whedbee, W. A. Brown, H. D. Beck, and a few others. These men have it in their hands to make Louisville just as famous as a city of many race business men as a city of beautiful women.

Not Good as Mayor of Battersea Refuses to Attend State Church Function ORIGINATOR OF CAKE. WALK VISITS WEST Mr. R. Dickson—Primrose in Los Angeles—Social and Other Events in Golden State City—Waldorf Hotel Opens. (Special to The Chicago Defender). Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 13.—Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Robinson of Oakland, on their return trip from New Orleans, are spending a few days visiting friends here. Mr. Robinson is representing the Black Bass Metal Polish Co. This is a new article which promises to give excellent results. Mr. P. Dickson-Primrose, one of the originators of Cako-Walking, arrived in Los Angeles this week from Chicago. Mr. Primrose was quite busy the first few days greeting old Friends. Mrs. S. Ross and Mrs. T. Bond, 6780 Compton avenue, entertained a few friends at a whist party this week, after which refreshments were served, Miss McNealy and G. A. Lewis being the champions, taking six out of seven games.

The Waldorf is the old reliable place and the service is hard to excel. CHICAGO DEFENDER READ AT CHURCH SERVICES Story of How Rev: Thomas and Rev. Myers Fed the Poor Read at Ebenezer Baptist Church Sunday. The Chicago Defender became a part of the service at Ebenezer Baptist church Sunday morning, when Rev. Thomas had the clerk read the story of how the poor were fed at Immanuel Baptist church, white, and at Ebenezer. Despite the below zero weather the church was full and the congregations were astounded at Rev. Myer's sanction of the discrimination at his church. The editorial on the same subject was read at the evening service to an attendance as large as in the morning. SALOON MEN SHOW THE CLOVEN FOOT SALOON MEN SHOW THE CLOVEN FOOT Insult Afro-American Citizens, Who Retaliate by Aiding Prohibitionists—Saloon Men See Error too Late. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Flint, Mich., Feb. 13.—For many years the Afro-American citizens have been treated like men here, but recently the saloon began to show its "cloven foot" in point of decency and respect toward the race. Saloon men became so rank with their prejudices that in the downtown districts they charged 25 cents for a glass of beer or a drink of whiskey. It reached the point where respectable men would not be humiliated and disgraced. The whites at the time did not realize the race men had a vote and would use it for self-protection. The prejudices of the saloon men crept into others forms of business. All this awakened, the eyes of staunch, loyal race men, and when election time came around the Prohibitionists got busy and the Afro-Americans joined them and put the saloon men out. Now they are using all kinds of "sugar" and "bait" to get their votes to restore whisky, but there is a cry of "No. We would rather pay railroad fare and go to the next town and be treated right than be humiliated again here." This is one time his vote was used for the right purpose and at the right time. He is more respected for protecting himself against such an element, who "kicked him and cuffed" and now want to use him. Truly we are getting our eyes open and will not stand for such insults. The art of living resembles wrestling more than dancing, for here a man does not know his movement and his measure beforehand.

London, England, Feb. 7.—Mayor John Archer of the Borough of Battersea has proven to be the right man in the right place. Although his official career has not been long, it has been of sufficient duration to bring out his race loyalty and a fighting spirit that is commendable. The Chicago Defender published an exclusive account of his election and congratulated him by letter. His reply is as follows: tersen, S. W., 17th January, 1914. "Dear Sirs: I have to thank you for your letter of the 17th of November. I have also to thank you for the copy of The Chicago Defender containing the account, in very large type of my accession to the Mayoralty of Battersea. I must compliment you upon the reproductions, as they are the best I have had brought to my notice. Your article is more accurate with reference to my origin than many of the English newspaper. There is only one thing I take into in your description of me, and that is you have told the people of America that I am 'tall, handsome and brown skinned.' Alas, I am not, by any stretch of imagination, tall and only having seen myself reflected in the mirror, will not affirm or deny that I am handsome and brown skinned. I have made many of my friends laugh, and when I quoted your description of me, at a large gathering that I attended in my official capacity at the Battersea Town Hall on the occasion of my distributing the annual Christmas charities to the poor (which is provided for from moneys left in the wills of several philanthropie people) a really tall, fine and handsome lady who was presiding at the organ, came to the mayoress and myself at the close of the meeting and said that she quite agreed with the description given by your paper as to my looks so evidently you must be right. Letters From School Fellows Please. "It may be of interest to you to know that I have received now over 300 letters of congratulation from all parts of the world--England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, West Africa, India and the West Indies, and I am still receiving them. This is very gratifying to me. Those I esteem most are from my old school fellows who have learned of my whereabouts from the position I have obtained through the medium of the newspapers, and those received from members of my race, some of whom are personally known to me and others who are complete strangers. One letter I would specially mention was from a white lady, a native of Barbados, West Indies (his father's birthplace), who said 'she was proud to congratulate me as a Barbadian born of British parents. Refuses to Attend Church Function. "I am very much interested in the articles in your paper and have no doubt that your issues will be and have been instrumental in furthering the race's cause. During my year of office I intend, as I have hitherto done, to stand out for all that is given to others being given to me. I have shown that I intend to make a firm stand by virtue of the fact that I refused to attend a state church function at a church as by law established, because of the fact that in October last at a church congress in Southampton they discussed the question whether black should worship with white and communicate.at the same table. This is the first time in English history that such a question has been broached in this country. Dr. Cameron, Bishop of South Africa, brought forward the motion. I cannot at this moment lay my hand on the Times newspaper of October 3, which gives a verbatim report of the congress, but the gist of his statement was this: THE WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRICE 5 CENT Mules Church Function A Brings Forth Color Question for History, and Mayor Archer Shows Certain Way—Denounces Clergymen a Black Man's Soul and a White Out Bishop Being Inoculated With Disease.

Norfolk, Va., Feb. 13.—As the Monroe was proceeding to New York at half speed in the fog, when it collided with the Nantucket, the Monroe turned till her keel was almost uppermost and it seemed to some of those who were rescued that shrieks were heard from some who never got out of their staterooms. Many Afro-Americans were caught in their bunks. The Monroe went down with a sough, hardly drawing anything to her. All aboard thought of the women first and lost no time to save them. For bravery and heroism none outstripped that of Mr. Pete Davis, head waiter, a brother of Samuel H. M. Davis of the vaudeville team of Davis and Walker, 3746 Forest avenue. Mr. Davis had been running on the Old Dominion Line for twenty years. He gave up his life and went down in a watery grave to save an aged white woman. Steward Sullivan was an eye witness of the scene. Mr. Davis had provided himself with a life preserver and worked his way along the upturned side to where two middle-aged women were standing, barely able to GARY, IND., HAPPENINGS.

One of them wore no life preserver. When he reached them he carefully took off the cork jacket and adjusted it on the aged woman. She was saved and Mr. Davis drowned. Every day or week such heroic deeds as this are constantly reported through the daily press. Afro-Americans are known to risk their lives at any cost to save women of either race. Yet in towns where they help to build, work the railroads, erect its buildings, and turn a woods into a thriving and prosperous city, they are "Jim Crowed" and denied equal rights and protection. Here in Norfolk, where this heroic deed was done, members of Mr. Davis' race are "Jim Crowed," and the question is asked, how long is the white man going to deny a race a right to enjoy the liberties he fought for? Now that the Afro-American is found saving the white people from a watery grave, and the legislature of a Southern state wants him to take off his hat in their presence is a humiliation and disgrace that will rise in the mind of every Afro-American when a time comes to save his white neighbor. of the luncheon, Miss Thomas was ushered to a room upstairs where she was allowed to inspect her beautiful shower presents. Mrs. Williams has a distinctive idea in harmonizing colors in decorations for her affairs which usually proves one of the features of all her entertainments. Pink was the color featured on this occasion, and the effect was very attractive. All spent a delightful afternoon. Mesdames A. W. Williams and Thomas Carroll assisted in serving. Mrs. Thomas and daughter Grace were present. CHICAGO HEIGHTS. Chicago Heights, Ill. Feb. 13. Although the weather was very cold last Sunday, it did not keep some from attending the A. M. E. Sunday school last Sunday at 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Van is buying property on Union street. This property is valuable. It is a double flat building. She has tenants living in both flats, while she conducts a nice restaurant and lunch counter at 143 East 16th street.

APPOMATTOX CLUB CELEBRATES LIN- COLN'S BIRTHDAY William Rathbone, Whose Father Was With Lincoln When He Was Assassinated is Speaker. On the occasion of the celebration of the birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln by the Appomattox Club on last Sunday afternoon, the chairman, Dr. C. E. Bentley, very appropriately said, "we lost a Jones, but gained a Rathbone." Dr. Jenkins Lloyd Jones was booked to make the address, but unexpectedly was called to New York on Saturday, which of course, necessitated the securing of someone else on very short notice. But had the selection been made months ago, I doubt if there could have been any improvement on the distinguished gentleman who delivered the eloquent address, particularly on the dramatic-like illustration of the many interesting features of the illustrious President during the latter years of his life, and the sad tragedy at the Ford theater when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Mr. Rathbone's mother and father were the guests of the President and Mrs. Lincoln in the box on this eventful night, which of course, made the speaker particularly interesting. The extremely cold weather had little effect on the affair, as the parors of the club were filled and all felt highly compensated after hearing the splendid address. Mr. Rathbone is an eminent lawyer before the Chicago bar, HON. ISAAHT MONTGOMERY VISITS CHICAGO HON.

"Sure I believe in 'em. But you can't change nature by no such means as that. A woman that has a vote will be, more or less, the same as a woman without one. Some women with the vote will be angels, just the same as if they hadn't, and some will be the other thing whether they have the vote or not. "Now there's that Miss Abigail Perkins you saw up here last summer. Spinner, age uncertain, temper unsafe, home, Boston. Thought she was filled with the love of humanity, when it was plain ordinary—well, you'll see what it was later. No, it didn't develop until you had gone home. She stayed up here all last winter, you know. Fact is, she's staying here now, but she's changed—greatly changed. "Well, sir, Tobias never prided its self on being anything but just an ordinary village. No rich men, no poor, and them that's got the most money earned it honestly. Decent fisherman, for the most part, trying to make a fair living and give their wives and families the best they can. Along comes Miss Perkins, wanting to reform Tobias. "You remember last August it was the files that bothered her. Sald files was a disgrace to san-i-tation and civil-kation and wanted to wipe 'em out before the spring come along. Went round about the back doors pouring kerosene on the flower beds. Ruined two dollars' worth of bulbs I'd set out and spoiled a half ton of fertilizer in my stable. Did I say anything? No. I believe in people's motives and Miss Abigail's was all right, only the strings got twisted. "Started a crusade against the cows along about Christmas. Said the curse of the country was the Great White Plague, coming from cows. Got a tube full of some doctor's stuff and went round pricking every cow under the ear. Few days later, said cow would naturally go off her feed, having all that stuff put into her system. Miss Abigail says that's a sign of tuber—tuber—tubers. Wanted 'em killed. Tobias set up a holler and we saved our cows. "You remember Hiram Bliss, who wanted to charge the artists a commission for letting 'em paint his scenery? Meant man in Tobias, most people thought. Hard old skintid, grasping, and always ready to take A woman in a hat is feeding a cow. The cow is standing on a grassy field with a cloudy sky in the background. Went Around Prickling Every Cow Under the Ear. advantage of his neighbor. Well, sir, when Miss Abigail got the cow crazie it hit him pretty hard. He was the instrument of our saving our cows, because he had twenty-six, and Miss Abigail had got into his pasture and pricked every cow he had, and they all developed tubers. Well, as I was saying, we saved our cows, but when we heard Miss Abigail was starting an agitation to have half our cottages pulled down, because they wasn't sartary, we set up another holler. Miss Abigail was fighting all Tobias then, except Small, the builder, who was on her side, being naturally prejudiced. We held a town meeting, and a few of us formed a committee—me, Joe Emery, Jim Byles and Luke Thomson. Something had to be done to stop Miss Abigall from making our lives miserable. She was here and there and everywhere. She had something to tell the mothers about the babies' feeding, and, she wanted physiology taught in the school, and she didn't think oats ought to be about when the birds was nesting. Well, sir, we were in the heat of the discussion when in walks Bliss. "I hear you boys are holding a town meeting regarding that Perkins woman," he says. We were so surprised to see him acting neighborly that we didn't know what to say. "Make me the chairman," says Hir, "and I'll—I'll settle her. Twenty-six cows, and saved by the skin of the neck!" "We elected him to the chair unanimously, and then he told us his plan. There wasn't no way of getting rid of Miss Abigail except by kidnapping her. He explained that if we pay the cost of the gasoline he'd get her into his auto, which he'd been too mean to use ever since he bought it, the year before, and run her out a couple of hundred miles over the mountains into Shaughnessy county, in the next state. "Maybe she'll come back," we said. "No, she won't," says H. grinning. "I'm going to make her think I'm running away with her to marry her, and by thunder, I'll make her think she's escaped me by a meracle." "Well, sir, Miss Abigail, like most old maids hadn't no use for matrimony. Not that she refused to recognize it as a divine institution, but she looked on it very much as the Apostle Paul did, and we agreed that Hi's scheme would most likely scare her out of Tobias. Hi was to start out on the folloring morning air" look to THE CHICAGO DEFENDER: for Miss Abigail along the shore. She's got a scheme for putting oil on the waters of the crick, to kill next year's mosquitoes, and it seemed rate enough for HI to reckon on finding her there and nidiping her before anyone could come to help—if anyone wanted to. "We put up ten dollars apiece for gasolene and sundries, including wear of tires. It was cheap at the price, but we found afterwards that HI Bliss made a good profit out of the deal, as he usually did. The next morning, sure enough HI came spinning along in his automobile. "I'll be back tomorrow night, boys," he says, winking. "Have you seen her?" "We had. She was down to the crick with a watering-can full of kerosene. We tipped Hi off and sort of waited around. Ten minutes later we heard the worst yelling you ever imagined, and a minute after that Hi's automobile come whizling along the road, containing Hi and Miss Abigail. She was clinging round his neck and shouting "kidnaper!" in a voice that ought to have waked all Tobias. But nobody offered to interfere as the auto went by, and presently we see it whizzing up the road toward the hills, and Miss Abigail still clinging to Hi's neck. "We waited a week, and then another, and at the end of that time we sadly agreed that there must have been some accident. We guessed the auto had been upset and both their necks broken, and nobody grieved very much as the third week went by, and the fourth came in. "About the middle of the fourth week Hi comes bowling into town, and with him Miss Abigail, looking as spruce as a new pin. Hi stops the ear. "Boys,' he says. 'let me present you to my wife. We've bln on our honeymoon in New York, and there's chicken for supper and you're all welcome." "I don't know which startled us the more, the wedding or Hi's asking us to supper. But there's been a change since then, sir. Those two sort of chipped each other's rough edges off, and as my wife says, what made them so cranky was neither being married. You couldn't find a better neighbor than Hi now, and as for Mrs. Abigail—say, my wife says that kid of theirs is being raised by old-fashioned methods the same as ours was! (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Hawthorne's Most Clever Use of Name of Friend Worthy to Rank as a Classic. The pun has never been considered a very high distinguished form of wif by the humorists or writers of any language. It must be admitted, however, that when employed as Nathauleh Hawthorne employed it, as a delicate tribute to a friend, the pun serves an excellent purpose. Hawthorne's pun occurs in his "Our Old Home." in the chapter headed "Consular Experiences." In referring to his sojourn at Liverpool as consul, during the presidency of Franklin Pierce, Hawthorne dwells with special pleasure on the visits of a young English friend, "a scholar and a literary amateur, between whom and myself there sprung up an affectionate and, I trust, not transitory regard." This Friend used to come and sit by the Hawthorne fireside, talking vivaciously and eloquently upon literature and life, the difference between American and English characteristics, and many other subjects. "It would gratify my cherished remembrance of this dear friend." Hawthorne continues, "if I could manage, without offending him, or letting the public know it, to introduce his name upon my name, fright was the illumination of my dusky little apartment as often as he made his appearance there." The casual reader never suspects that Hawthorne has accomplished his purpose, and that the adjective that cunningly begins a sentence and thus achieves the right to a capital initial may also be read as a proper name. Henry A. Bright was, in fact, Hawthorne's only intimate friend in Liverpool. He was a man of wealth and position, a literary dilettante. Hawthorne gave him the complete manuscript of "The Marble Faun," and it remains one of the most valued possessions of Bright's descendants. Youthful Dutch Smokers A census of smokers taken the other day among the boys attending nine elementary schools in a suburb of Amsterdam, Holland, reveals that among the six-year-olds they number ten per cent.; among those of seven years 16 per cent.; and 32 per cent. among those of eight; while in the sixth schooling year, at which the average age is twelve, the percentage has risen to 53. As it falls rapidly after the limit of compulsory attendance, the early use of tobacco would not appear to be an incentive to learning. It is the cigar, not the cigarette, which these Dutch youngsters delight in. The American Girl "There's something very simple and charming and direct about the American girl," said Bishop Blougram at a dinner in Seattle. "Once, in the far west, I married a pretty American girl to a cowboy. "Do you take this man for better or worse? I asked her in the wonted formula. "She shrugged her supple shoulders. "I can't tell till I've had him awhile," she said." Declines the Old Gag. "Have you heard about Vlizzard's latest play?" "Yes. They say it's revolting." "It is. But give Vlizzard credit for one thing." "What's that?" "He firmly refuses to say there's any moral purpose in it." London's Sewane. London sewage has its main drainage out falls at Barking and Crosness; the average daily quantity dealt with it about 260,000,000 gallons, while the total quantity of sludge collected at Barking and Crosness is more than 1,500,000 tons.

Grandpa Mintlicker went into a Pullman dining car and asked for the wine card. Under prevailing restrictions the best the waiter could give him was the mineral water list. Grandpa looked at him reproachfully and exclaimed: "Young man, I'm thirsty, not sick!" Typewriter Hint. Those who use the typewriter often should keep at hand a small bottle of alcohol and a piece of absorbent cotton. There is nothing more efficacious for removing the telltale marks of the typewriter ribbon than cotton moistened with alcohol. Character Told by Thumb: In telling the character, and from a mechanical point of view, the thumb is important. The loss of the right thumb is held at 35 per cent. of the value of the whole hand; of the left 15 per cent. The index finger is rated next on the right hand at 20 per cent. In one of our Vaishnava lyrics the lover says to his beloved: "I feel as if I have gazed upon the beauty of my face from my birth, yet my eyes are hungry still; as if I have kept the pressed to my heart for millions of years, yet my heart is not satisfied."—Rabindrunath Tagore. Tree Strangely Marked A curious tree which though sound was never known to blossom has just been cut down by Mr. James Hayden Carriglen, on his lands at Pandstown, County Kildare, Ireland. On the freshly sawn butt of the tree there was found a blood-red imprint of what closely resembled a hand and part of an arm.

By a vote of 82 (0 23, the Senate defeated the Jones amendment to the Smith-Lever agricultural extension Dill providing that schoois diserimt- unting against students because of color should receive none of the moneys appropriated by the Dill, It Js needless to say that Senators Hoke Smith of Georgie and Yardaman of Mississippi contended that the admin- istration ef the appropriation should be left in the ands of the white man, who would “do more for the Negro than the Negro could do for himself.” What these misrepresentatives really: meant Was that men of their ik would be able to do more TO not FOR the colored man, That old Southern cry of leave them to us we know best how to handle the question. is getting to bea Joke in the face of the constant passage of diserimina- tory laws in tilat section, Along edu- cational lines, the accumulation of propert¥, labor, the right of ballot and the right even to live. It is gen- erally conceded both North and South that the place for the masses of col- ored people is on the farm, they have accepted that advice, and as the stat- istles will prove, own and till a good ly portion of the best farm lands of the South. ‘The government proposes to give millions cach year for agrieul- tural extension, though heavy taspay- ers and by every right in the cata- gory entitled to a fair and impartial share of this money, the colored man, under this new law, must submit to having his portion, if they see fit to slve him any, doled out by an antag: onistie white’ man, there ean be but one aim and that is to hold the whip hand and attempt to revise their be- fore-the-war tactics.

The people of the North have been pouring money into the South to educate the unfortunates, with the result that the illiteracy today is near- ly as great among the whites as It ts among the colored, and this state of affairs 1s another cause for alarm, 80 our friends, the enemy, have gone in some instances to thelr state capitol and passed laws forbidding white teachers to teach colored children.

Memory of Race Champion to Be Eulogized, |The sainted memory of Frederick Douglass, the honored and beloved of the race, will be eulogized at Quinn ‘Chapel A. M. B. Church on tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. Judge Julian /Mack, United States supreme court judge, will deliver an address on the subject “Let the Nation Now Stand by the Principles upon Which Douglass Stool.” Judge Orrin Carter of the Ill- ‘nols supreme court will speak upon “Lincoln and Douglass." Madame Marie Burton-Hyram and Professor Harrison Emanuel will render solos. Mr. A. H, Roberts will act as master of ceremonies. This ie an occasion when the citi zens of Chicago should crowd that church to pay homage to one of the greatest men of America, Fred Doug lass. It is their duty to “pay a pil- xrimage to the shrine” of such noted characters who have made records in the world's history. ‘The name of Douglass should be forever remem- bered and just in the proportion as the name of Lincoln is revered, just in that same proportion should Doug- lass’. The musfeal program will be augmented by the presence of the ‘Twelfth Regiment Band of Odd Fel lows. It is expected to be the largest celebration ever held in Chicago in memory of Douglass and Lincoln. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS RE- STRAINED. Editor J. Mitchel and Virginia Grand Ledge Win. Washington, D.

Coltim Se VENEREAL DISEASES, THE Geen ere. The “Hair Cut” and “Same as a Gold."—Some time ago we ran a se- rles of articles on the venereal disease question. We thought we said enough to satisfy those who desired whole- some information along this line. We Want to tell the truth, to be helpful to the readers of this paper, and yet we do not want to offend any of our readers, nor do we dasire to shock the modest sensibiiity of the most del- eate and sensitive personality. For several months we have tried to avoid writing on this question again for fear that certain morbid curiosities might be aroused, and the information herein given used to the detriment of some innocent person. This ts not the policy of this paper. ‘Why Write on the Subject? We have been plied with numerous, and in fact a muititudinous number of, questions repeatedly concerning Yenereal phases. Some we feel that we may with propriety attempt to an- swer in this column, and others we have been constrained to refer the iu- dividual to their family physician, ‘some younger people (o thelr parents and others to the minister or priest of their individual church, and some we have advised that the question could only be answered by private in- terview and not through these col- umn, Cure of Gonorrhea and Syphilis. GONORRHEA and SYPHILIS can be completely and permanently cured for all practical purposes, so as_to prevent the husband from infecting his wife and children, so as to prevent the wife from infecting her husband ‘and the coming generation. THE BEST AGENCY in the cure of venereal disease is PUBLIC and PRI- VATE HYGIENE—the public must be educated; the people must know. And they must co-operate in stamping out this terrible plague of humanity. Much of the harm of gonorrhea and syphilis comes from the half cures— cure just enough to stop the discharge ‘of gonorrhea—Just enouigh to clear up the skin and throat and heal over the chanere in syhpiiis, but not eure enough to prevent locomotor ataxia, ‘or insanity, or apoplexy, paralysis, miscarriages, poisoning of the inno- cent wile, blindness of the innocent ‘baby or child and the syphilitic han- Aicapped children, “en and wonien, boys and girls—in fact, every individual who is infected or has a suspicion of being infected— should go at once to his physician and have a dingnosis made by the use of the ynferoscope, and the final test of being cured of gonorrhea should be through thorough examination of the discharge under 2 microscope. ‘The majority of people believe that they are cured of this trouble as soon as they see that the discharge is dried up or ceased. If they stop treatment 48 soon as the discharge lessens, as soon as the burning and itching ceases, they make a great mistake. ‘The treatment, to be perfect, must be reasonably foolproof. The “Strain” in Men. A half dozen married women during the last few weeks have plied me with questions concerning their husbands’ “strain.” Some have iiquired of me: “What is a ‘strain’? One woman claimed that her husband “strained” himself In putting up a berth on a Pullman ear and caused him to have “the running rain" and that it made it necessary for him to sleep alone two or three weeks. In reply to the question of what is a strain, will say that tho only strain that 1 or any other intelligent physi- cian knows anything about is that “strain” which is common to all men and boys who violate the SIXTH COM- MANDMENT of the DECALOGUE in some dirty back yard where they had no business. If your husband has a “strain,” you let him continue to sleep in the bed alone if you want to maintain your health, it you don’t: want to have in- flammation of your pelvie organs, your uterus, tubes and ovaries removed. You take him to an intelligent phy- sielan and have him treated. Do not allow him to fool around the drug store, taking treatment from a drug- gist, and feel that he is cured when the’ discharge from the “strain” is stopped. Men have absolutely no cause or reason for having a constant discharge from any of the generative organs, and when they have a discharge, let them call it “strain” or “same as bad cold,” or whatnot, theré is something Wrong, and there bas been a violation of the Sixth Commandment, and a woman 15 a fool—nay, worse than a fool—to allow her husband to share her bed when he has this “running rain,” as he calls it. BB WISE, ma- dam, and don’t belleve any man when he says that putting up a berth in a Pullman car gave him a “strain” over his kidneys and caysed him to have,a discharge from his organ. If any ‘children come from this man while he has this “strain” they are more than likely to be blind and you are more than Mkely to have a mis- carriage. i The "Halr Cut” Story. T attach very little faith gr impor- tance to the story of the man who has been violating the Stith Com- maridment when he says tha} he has a Immediately begin local and internal constitutional treatment and not fool around with “S. S. S.,”" “calumus pow- der” and other dope from the drug store. What most men call a “halr cut,” madam, is a serious condition, and if your husband is so unfortu- nate as to be thus afflicted, have him to get busy and have proper and sclen- tifle treatment instituted immediately, because what he called a “hair cut” has caused blindness, insanity, paraly- sis and a general inheritance of “bad disease.” “Same as Cold.” One lady wants to know the differ ence between a “bad cold” and a gon: orrheal discharge.” She states that her husband has discharge from his organ, and that he told her “it was Just the same as a col.” They have becn married about six months and she never had any inflammation or fe male trouble until after she married, last August, and as soon as she mar. ried she began to have pains and In. fammation, burning and an awful dis charge; that she spoke to her hus. band, and he said that he had hod the discharge for years; thut every once in a while it would come back on him; that it was just the “same as a cold," no worse than a bad cold, and that the reason she was having her in flammation, and had to be doctored was due simply to the fact that she ‘was weak; just weakness. Madam, you state that you are 22 years of age and that you have never had any trouble of any kind whatso ever with your pelvie organs until you got married six months ago. Sine then you have been almost an invalid with much suffering with paln and in flammation, It should be plain to you then, that the cause of your trouble Gf P should make a guess) is that ol¢ discharge which is called “Just the same us a cold.” BOARD OF HEALTH NOTES. Press Service, Department of Health. ‘The poorly lighted and poorly venti lated workshop is not the place. to look for the highest class workman ship. Good goods do not come out of bad surroundings. A wellequipped and efficiently ad. miinistered health department costs money; but it is far cheaper in. the end for the people than is a half equipped, poorly administered service The faet is that good public serviee cannot be had without paying for it and such service iy always worth all It costs, People whose occupations keep them out of doors most of the time are not, as a rule, troubled with coughs and colds. Under normal conditions ‘outdoor air does not induce colds. In door air aud indoor surroundings are responsible for many of our ills. In other words, It is not fresh outdoor air, but the want of it, that causes niany of ou diseases. For as water is the natural element for the fishes of the sea. so air, good air, Is the nat ural element for the human beings who live on the land, It has been said that malaria had more to do with the destruction and downtall of the Roman Empire than aid the barbarians of the North. I this ve true, it only fllustrates what we have so often stated, that disease Kills more soldiers than aré destroyed by shot and shell, And the worst of it 1s that not only iu time of war but in Ume of peace the neediess slaugl ter of human lives from the prevent: able diseases gocs on just the same. ‘One of the greatest lessons that a na- tion can leara is that of protecting and conserving the health of its peo: ple, ‘The power and stability of a state depend largely upon the physical well- veing of its people. Soldiers may be both brave and loyal, but when disease Invades their ranks they have little or no fighting value. And what is true of the soldier in war is equally true of the citizen in peace. War be- tween nations is a terrible thing, but ‘war with all its horrors destroys only thousands where the preventable dis- eases KIN their tens of thousands. Would it not be a fine thing if na- tious, instead of warring one with anotiier, would all unite in a grand war agaiust needless sickness and suffering? ‘The only way in which the Depart- ment of Health can learn of the exist- ence of contagious diseases in a com- munity ts by having the physicians who attend such cases report them to the departnient. Because this is necessary for the proper safeguard- ing of the public health, there is a elty ordinance which requires physt- clans to report all cases of communt- cable diseases that they are called to attend and providing for a penalty for failure to comply with its provisions. These reports, too, have another value; for when they are all collected and tabulated at the end of a given period they tell us a good deal about genéral health conditions and the kind of diseases that are most prevalent throughout the city. A concealed case of contaglous disease is a menace to an antire community, while the case that has been promptly reported and the premfses placarded 1s not, for the reason that people will not kaowinely expose. thei} children to contagion of any kind.’ :{Reporting and. placarding cases of chntagious.‘sickiiess: mean better care bad tor Sang, VOLCANOES IN ACTION TERRIFIC DAMAGE DONE WHEN MOUNTAINS BLOW UP. Long List of Disasters Oue to Erup- tlone—That of Krakatoa in 1282 ‘About the Worst of Which ‘There Is Record. ‘The eruption of Sakura recall that 9f Mount Pelee, which destroyed St. Pierre, Martinique, tho most beautiful city in the West Indies, with appalling suddenness. Like Sakura, the vol- cante peak of Pelee bad been quics- cent for a long period, and was be- Heved to by practically extinct. It smoked a little for # few days before ie blew up, but it had previously sent up similar thin, vaporous clouds ut intervals of ten or twenty years—co nobody paid attention to Its seomingly harmless uctivity. Without warning 4 pillar of rock shot up from the crater Of Mount Pelee to holght of nearly 100 feet, and a rent opened halt-way up the mountain's slopo, from whieh blow a hot blast, stupefying and inein- erating every organic thing tn the path of its withering breath. In less time than it tukes to tell, St. Plerro, with hearly its entire population, was wiped out and buried In the rain of ashes which followed the exptoston, In its tremendous force, however, the eruption of Sakura more nearly resembles that of Krakatoa In 188%, ‘This is believed to have been the greatest cataclysmic disturbance sul fered by the earth in historic times, and possibly within the more recent of the geologic eras. Krakatoa was a voleanic peak rising 2,000 feet above seu level, in Sunda strait. After warn- tng manifestations, which continued several days, the outburst came on August 27. ‘The entire northern halt of the volcano was blown away, and the “soundings subsequently made showed « depth of 1,000 feet of water where the mountain had stood. An eye-wituess of some of the prenomens observed from the shore of Jaya 970: cessions of native boats, held by a current many times more irresistible than that of Niagara and sucked into the vortex cuused by the great hole torn in the floor of the oceay, It ts estimated that the column of stones and ashes thrown up by Krakatoa’s explosion shot up to a height of 17 miles. Nearby islands were covered with volcanle debris to the height of the tree tops of thelr forests, ‘The dust particles left tloafing in the upper strata of the atmosphere encompassed the earth ag with a belt 76 degrees wide, producing a deep red glow in Uie ‘sky after sunset for months after the upheaval. On the day of the eruption and for several days thereafter lamps hud to be lighted at Batavia at noon, ‘The waves sturted by the explosion Teached almost around the earth, They were uistinetly observed at Cape Horn, and were perceptible even in the English channel.

Artificial Respiration, | How tong is it possible to keep a Person alive by artificial respiration? ‘The Smit has never been tested, but what fs probably a record was report- ed recently to the Twelfth Congress of Russian Surgeons by Dr, S. F. De rioujinsky. It was the case of a peasant of twenty-one. who, following an angina of probably diphtheritic origin, was stricken with paralysis. After two Weeks of total paralysis some move- ments of the arms appeared, but a fow days later respiratory trouble began. The breathing rose’ to forty to the minute, and became superficial, with momentary stops. It was necessary to Fesort to artificial respiration, With the assistance of pupils in the Infir- mary school this was kept up day and night from February 5 to February 20, On the latter day the patient began breathing naturally. but difficulty to swallowing arose about the same time, On February 26 it became necessary to begin artificial respiration again. ‘This was inaintained until March 1, when natural breathing returned and the patient recovered.

Dropping the Period When a man marries he fully intends to be No. 1 in the family, but in many cases the period drops out—Boston Transcript. The Sweetest Words "Are there any sweeter words in the English language," musingly inquired Professor Swiggs, "than I love you?" "Well," grimly remarked the "pessimistic hearer," "I understand that some authorities regard, 'There's that money I owe you,' as about the epitome of satisfactory sentences." Sees Class Morality The following assertion of A. M. Glovannitti opens up an interesting discussion: "All social morality today is class morality. We have a capitalistic morality, a middle class morality and a proletarian morality, to speak only of the three greatest subdivisions of modern society." Had Reason for Belief A reporter asked Oscar Hammerstein one day if he believed in the new therapeutic idea that music was a medicine. "Believe in it? Of course I do," the impresario replied. "I know at least three operas that are a drug on the market, while as for popular songs, there isn't one of them that doesn't make me ill." Rather Too Boastful. The ancient dwellers in Arcady boasted that their beatific race came into existence before the moon herself, but they were probably ignorant of the period they claimed for their ancestry. They must needs, have mounted back in time some 57,000,000 years, in which case their race would be hallowed. Indeed by prelunar antiquity.—Kansas City Star. PHONE AUTO. 74-379 J. A.

Everybody's doing it, so every Friday night at both performances a big tango contest is held, at which time the winner is presented with a valuable prize, the audience being the judge. Last night was the second week of this additional form of entertainment, and the crowds, if anything, were even greater than the preceding week. The management intends to make it a regular feature as long as the interest keeps up, Simms, Marshall, Brown and Wallace, known as the "Four Dancing Strollers," were holdovers the last half of the week. Their act is entertaining, and what they lack in singing they make up in dancing. A picture true to life of how some people consider old folks in the way was presented by Harry Brooks and company in a very creditable manner. Jack and Jessie Gibson were great as comedy talking unicyclists. The tricks they performed with their one-wheel vehicle were marvelous.

"Some piano player and some drummer" is the way the crowds that attend the Star Theater at Thirty-ninth and State streets speak of the musicians. It would be hard to find a team who could get more music out of those two instruments than they can. It is an inviting little playhouse from several points of view. Even in the coldest weather it is nice and cozy, and the ventilation is perfect. These comforts, together with the fact that only the best pictures, and first runs at that, are shown, make it a nightly gathering place for hundreds who appreciate the better things in that line.

ROOSEVELT "SEES SNAKES." Traveler Astonishes South Americans By His Knowledge of the Venomous Reptiles. Buenos Aires, Jan. 23.—Cobnell Theodore Roosevelt is having the time of his life traveling through South America. Recently he visited Minaz and Sao Paulo and among other things planned for his entertainment was a snake fight. The combat was between a non-poisonous South American corba and a Jararoca. To their surprise and consternation he became so interested in the combat that when the corba won and began to swallow its defeated opponent he seized the victor and lifted it up. The action was another score for the Roosevelt doctrine of fair play. Then he gave the committee a short lecture on snakes, their habits and their poisons. CHICAGO SOCIETY LEADERS.

Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 13—The story of little Sarah Febor, the 10-year-old Greek girl whose income from five oil wells is $371,000 a year, but who was in the hands of scheming white people, who made her live in a hut, is well known to the readers of the Chicago Defender.

Citizens Are All Houseowners and Therefore Vitally Interested In Burg's Welfare—Ruled Autocratically From City Hall. Paris.—Perhaps there is no city in the world possessing such genuine reason for placid contentedness as the German Rothenburg on the Tauben, 50 miles to the southeast of Nuremberg. It is ruled autocratically from the rathaus or city hall. And so well it is ruled that while the rich work at the universal business of toy making, there are absolutely no poor people. It laid down years ago that all Rothenburg must be made worthy of their unequaled town, and that no misery or evil must be tolerated. Rothenburg municipality resolved to realize this aim by insuring that every citizen should have a stake in the town. First it set to fight the vicious practices of families living in rented houses. Rented houses, it decided, are economically as vicious as would be rented clothes or even rented food. Also rented houses threatened to spoil Rothenburg's domestic architecture, the most picturesque and beautiful in any European town outside Venice. Rothenburg municipality, therefore, started on a policy of creating houseowners. By special regulations it made it easy for men to buy the houses they lived in. It lent money at low interest to the buyers. The town lost nothing, because the houses are good security. They are enormously valuable owing to their wood carving, chimney pieces, and windows. The business was equally profitable to the inhabitants, who found that the interest on the loans amounted to less than the former rents. And no longer anyone was tempted to tear down the old houses. The civic government went further. The man who is not part farmer, the man who cannot at a pinch produce his own food, that man is only half a man. Therefore, said Rothenburg, every man, town dweller though he be, must have his little farm. And it began to divide up the communal lands among its citizens, and to buy other lands, and sell them to citizens on easy terms. So now not only does the typical Rothenburger own his own house, but he owns somewhere on the fringe of the city a little allotment for farming. He can himself work in the modest baby carriage or toy factory, while his wife and children have gone to the miniature farm a mile or so away. Thus the Rothenburg working-man has his own production of fruit and vegetables and sometimes even his own animal food. His products, it is estimated, average in value 30 per cent, of his wages. This policy sends up industrial wages. The Rothenburger is the most independent workman in Europe. What with his own home, his own savings and his own allotment, he can pick and choose his work. He refuses to be sweated. Strikes are unknown. Also crime is rare. There is about 60 Braunschweig Rathaus, Rothenburg. per cent. less than in neighboring towns. There is no need to steal. Also there is no possibility. For the paternal municipality is severe. Men without occupation and men of doubtful character from other parts of Germany are promptly sent back to their native towns. And bad native Rothenburgers, when there are any, have a bad time. The municipality refuses to let them share in all the other bounties which by reason of its wealth it can shower down on the just. So there is no temptation to a bad Rothenburger to stay at home. If it were not for the national taxes, and war exactions upon the men, Rothenburg would be the most heavenly city not in Germany only, but in the whole world. Woman Reaches Age of 110. Potsdam, N. Y.—Nora Sullivan, aged Young Girl's Step Father Falls to Prevent Her Wedding a Widower of Fifty-Four. Harrisburg, Va.—Although her objecting stepfather had locked up her wedding dress and hidden the key, Miss Alice Webb, nineteen years old, got written permission from her mother and slipped away to Harrisonburg, 10 miles distant, where she and William R.

Denison, Tex. Feb. 13.—A new park for Afro-Americans will be opened here at an early date. The site was purchased by H. M. Gillian, E. W. Austin, M. A. Bean and J. H. Owens. There are 3100 voters here, of which 500 are loyal race men who pay their $1.75 per head poll tax. Some, however, think more of the $1.75 than their right to vote. The company expects to make wonderful improvements, having a special play ground for children, a grandstand to hold several thousand people. The park is located at Sherman Junction and consists of fourteen lots, just bordering the city limits, near where most of the race reside. During the summer, arrangements will be made to run excursions there over the Katy railroad from all parts of the State. As the park grows, scenic railroads, loop the loop, merry go round and other outdoor amusements will be installed. Among the worst foes of the memory are too much food, too much physical exercise, and, strangely enough, too much education. HYDE PARK Pool Room Shop HILTON, Prop.

Dr. Harry Miller was called and had Buckner removed to the hospital in Jackson's ambulance. It was found necessary to amputate a portion of the foot and all of the toes except the small one. It is said that Buckner attempted to cross the tracks not seeing the train. He is employed as a janitor at the American Seeding Machine company. The Chicago Defender is on sale at Wm.

The Defenders, under Armour Henderson, are reorganized for the coming baseball season and will play the Lincoln for the benefit of Provident Hospital this summer. Both teams will have good talent. The Defenders' infield—Drake, Cousins, Lewis and Henderson—is a hard combination to beat. A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME. Prominent Real Estate Firm Offers Exceptional Opportunity to Secure a Home.

The thirty-four young ladies indulged in games and a flower contest which was won by Miss Thomas. Miss Maude Roberts, Miss Jerine Miller and Miss Ethel Thomas rendered solos which were pleasing to all present. The presents were many and useful. WHAT MRS. MILLER Some of the Reasons the Race Cannot Rise by Such Men as Mr. Wm. Clark. Why Mr. Wm. Clark, of the election bureau, wanted her not to serve as one of the judges. Why he called her up by telephone and told her that it was a disgrace for a colored woman to walk down the street with a white man but don't think it a disgrace for a colored woman to walk down the street with a white man's baby, born out of wedlock. Why would he say the colored people would snub me for exerting my rights as an American citizen? Why did Mr. Clark offer to stand by me after he saw white men protect me from insult that he was so afraid for me? All will be discussed in next week's Defender. Had Much to Learn.

The clinic was attended with its usual splendid results, not only of relieving many persons of suffering, disease and in many cases death, but also of raising the standard of efficiency in surgical work among Afro-Americans in the South. The tributes paid the distinguished Chicagoan by Nashville's citizens was because of his being a pioneer in the field of surgery among his people. Dr. Williams also had opportunity to meet some of the leading local white physicians, including Dr. Hibbett, at the head of the city health department, which gave him a splendid opportunity to observe conditions from all angles during his last visit to Nashville.

MAYOR OF BATTERSEA REFUSED TO ATTEND CHURCH. (Continued from Page 1. ) race. I have for many years snapped my fingers, metaphorically speaking, at the layman who objects to me about my color, but when a cleric, who, when he assumes his clerical office, is supposed to be a follower of Christ, differentiates between a black man's soul and a white man's soul—well, it is time for me to take a hand, as I have done and intend to do, in the fight. I say with Caesar A. A. P. Taylor, quoting from his book, "The Conflict and Comingling of the Races," Damn the religion, damn the church, damn the law and damn the government that would foster, condone, enact or advocate or otherwise aid or abate any measure or system of ethics forcing upon me any condition different from that conceded as the right of any other man. This demagogue of a bishop has overlooked the tenets of the church of which he is a high dignitary, and evidently what weighs with him is that it is not expedient for him to follow the tenets of the meek and lowly Jesus if it alienates the degraded white man and prevents him contributing towards the missionary salvation of the heathen. Bah! it makes me wonder how the good God allows such men to live. I am not one who will take, lying down, this sort of teaching, and I do not intend to let the matter rest here. With best wishes for your success, Think It Over. Our colleague at the adjacent desk has just cogitated this: If a man has nothing, he must do something to have anything.

Valuable Hint: When gasoline is used to remove a spot from clothing a ring is often left around where the spot has been. A little salt in the gasoline will overcome this, leaving no trace of the soiled spot. That's How Some of 'Em Are Chosen. "Bobblebly is the most ignorant, conceited, incompetent, overbearing, tiresome person I ever met!" "That's so Let's send him to the legislature." Circumstances Such That There Was No Chance for Unfortunate Man to Escape. In room 425 of a downtown office building are six men who usually devote one hour of each day to storytelling. Last Wednesday all but one had contributed his quota to the fund of entertainment. The painfully silent sixth was the man who sells washing machines on the installment plan. "What makes you so down in the mouth today?" the book agent asked. "Does Dame Fortune refuse to fork over her golden shekels nowadays?" The silent man shook his head. "No," he said. "I ain't enjoying life very much, but it ain't lack of money that troubles me. The fact is," he went on, seeing that an explanation of his despondency was inevitable. "I have troubles at home and I can't shake 'em off, even when in the presence of you genial chaps. "You see, I live in a Madison avenue boarding house that is run by the meanest woman this side of Tophet—may heaven forgive me for saying it. Upon my word, I haven't had a square meal for a month. The woman sets a fairly good table, but when I take my place I am served with a little cold meat, some stale bread, a cup of tea, and a dab of potatoes, and with that bill of fare I have to sit and famish while everybody else fills up. "Once I was foolish enough to think I could sneak out something after meals, but I reckoned without taking the innate devilty of that woman into consideration. She not only locks up the pantry good and tight, but carries the cold chicken and other choice tidbits to her own room and locks them up in there. Ever hear of anything to beat that? "Besides, she turns off the gas in my room every night at 8:30 o'clock, and I either have to go to bed or sit in the dark." "You're a fool," interrupted one of the men, savagely, "and don't deserve a spark of sympathy. I wouldn't live in such a place for two seconds when New York is literally running over with good boarding houses. Why don't you leave and go into a decent place?" The man sighed. "I can't," he said dejectedly. "I'm her husband."—New York Times. How Curtis Learned the Ropes. The recent announcement that M. B. Curtis, long the star of "Sam'l o' Posen," had located in a small California town as a theater magnate recalls the time when Curtis and a few others took a cruise on Lake Ontario in a sloop yacht, leaving Toronto with Rochester, N. Y., as the objective point. Curtis was the cook for the company, but his efforts never caused Marlon Harland or Mrs. Rorer to lose nights of sleep for fear of mislaying their well-earned laurels. As a sailor he was even worse. He never could learn the difference between the fo'c'sle and the anchor. His companions were naturally surprised one afternoon to find him carnely engaged in tying playing cards to every rope available, explaining that it was for their mutual benefit. "If you want a jib sheet loosened," he said. "call it the little casino, and so on, but for the love of Mike don't tell me to tie a bowline in the jib halyards, for I don't know the difference between the bowsprit and the cockpit; besides—" Just then the wind blew Mr. Curtis overboard, and as they fished him out he said: "And I don't want to." Of the New Knowledge Sage John Burroughs, looking backward with the wisdom given by almost seventy-seven years and forward with the calmness that comes from a life given to reflection, has this to say in his latest book, "The Summit of the Years" of the changing world: "We must face and accept the new conditions. They will seem less hard to our children's children than to us. If the old awe and reverence must go, the old fear and superstition must go with them. The religious ages begat a whole brood of imps and furries—superstition, persecution, witchcraft, war —and they must go, have gone, or are going. The new wonder, the new admiration, the new humanism with the new scientific view of the universe, chilling though it be, must come in. We shall write less poetry, but we ought to live saner lives; we shall tremble and worship less, but we shall be more at home in the universe. War must go, the zymotic diseases must go, hide-bound creeds must go, and a wider charity and sympathy come in." Queen Mary's Simplicity. Mary, queen of England, has given many proofs that she is a practical person and greatly disposed to do away with as many of the frills associated with her position as possible, says an exchange. Reports reached her recently that some of the ladies who act as her deputies at different social function, as she is unable to meet all these demands in person, have been giving themselves more than royal airs, thus causing much annoyance to the hostesses who have to receive them. The queen has therefore altered some of the rules regarding the manner in which a lady representing her at any private social function is to be received, making the reception of Queen Mary's deputy a less ceremonious affair than hitherto. It is said that now one may be able even to sit in the presence of one of these royal substitutes without being given the frozen stare and the ley mitt. The Living Cost. In a series of lectures at the Teachers' Training college, in Baltimore, the following are a few of the topics: What is the food requirement for one day for a young woman seventeen to twenty years of age? A study of actual lunches that can be prepared for three cents and five cents. The value of pure food. How does the sanitation of the school affect the health and efficiency of the child.

Special to The Chicago Defender. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 13: Blessie, the degradee Blessie, the Dixy Bufroon, is on another rampage. The arch race villifier pours out another trade so filthy that the Atlanta Constitution cannot print his vile stuff. It leaps up to his foul running in this manner in its issue of January 22: Governor Cole L. Blessie's views on Negroes and their morals, horse-trading, marriage and a great variety of other subjects are presented in the latest literary effort, an octavo volume of 333 pages, which he presented today to members of the general assembly. It is his official explanation of the pardons, paroles and commutations of sentence granted during the past year. Governor Blessie has now extended executive clemency to nearly 1,000 copyts. Blease Violently Attacks Negroes. The striking feature of the report he-bold manner in which he exposes his opinion of Negroes, as he "on the order of lower animals," in reporting that he had granted "with much pleasure" full pardons to three white men convicted of assault and battery on two Negroes. Governor Please states that the blacks had been engaging in dirty and slanderous talk "and a party of white men look these two Negroes to the woods and gave them what they deserved—a genuine, first-class whipping." These "white gentlemen," the governor says, "did exactly right." Calls Negroes a Detriment. In telling of a parole granted to Sam Gaskins, a Negro convicted of manslaughter, Governor Blease says: "This Negro, being engaged to a Negro girl, called to see her, and in rolling with a pistol it went off and her, it seems to have been a bad accident, however, after a thought, probably it was for the good of humanity, for had +v married no doubt they would have brought forth more Negroes to the future detriment of the state." In explaining why he paroled Nockey Colley, John Horn and other men convicted of assaults on Negro girls, Governor Blease says the charge is absurd in his opinion, as he doubts if the crime of assault can be committed on a Negro woman. He expatiates on this thought with a frankness unsuitable for newspaper publication. "The Negro race has absolutely no standard of morality," he declares. "They are in that respect a class by themselves, as marital infidelity seems to be their most favorite pastime." In explaining why he paroled J. E. Murray, a Negro bigamist, Governor Please says: "If every Negro in this state that is guilty of bigamy or marital infidelity is brought up and convicted, labor will be much scarcer than it is, and many acres that are now cultivated will be idle." Negroes Are Likened to Mules. Commenting on his action in commuting the sentence of Stake Norris, a Negro murderer, from death to life *imprisonment, the governor says: "This defendant was convicted of killing another Negro. I am naturally against electrocuting or hanging one Negro for killing another, because, if a man had two fine mules running loose in a lot and one went mad and kicked and killed the other, he certainly would not take his gun and shoot the other mule, but would 'take that mule and work it'; therefore, I believe that when one Negro kills another he should be put in the penitentiary and made to work for the state." Governor Blease, in the message, expresses compassion for individual Negroes who he says have been ill treated in the penitentiary and frequently gives as a reason for liberating black convicts that they are "white men's Negroes." Please on Forced Marriages. In discussing the parole granted to Ernest T. Brewington, a white man, convicted of non-support of his wife, Governor Blease tells what he would have done under similar circumstances. He says: "It seems that this boy was forcibly made to marry this girl, who most probably was not of as good moral character as she should have been, and that as soon as the ceremony was over and he could get himself free and loose he deserted her and declined to have anything to do with her. I think he was a fool for marrying her, if the facts as stated are true, because, under the law of South Carolina, where he could not get a divorce, I would risk being shot at or risk my chances of leaving the state and going somewhere else than risk getting loose after getting married. He states that he believes he is the father of this particular child. He is, therefore, paroled during his border and upon the further good behavior PAGE EIGHT WHAT ABOUT HIMSELF? Detriment to the State and Have printed Words Put Into His Mouth and "On the Order of Lower Anis—Barnum or Some Other Show-With This Wild Man. Chicago Defender. condition that he make proper provision for the support and education of the child until he hereafter discovers that it is not his, and in that case he is released from any further obligations whatsoever." Discussing the case of John M. Quinn, who was convicted of breaking into and robbing the office of a religious publication called The Way of Faith, Governor Blease says: "As he was following the way of faith or at least attempting to enter into the way of faith, I have thought fit to give him the opportunity to go forth and make a 'man of himself, and, therefore, granted him a parole.' Denounces Private Detectives. Telling why he pardoned Bud Willis, who was convicted of violating the liquor laws on the evidence of private detectives, Governor Blease says: "My experience with detectives or so-called detectives of this character, who are to receive so much for each conviction, has been that they will swear any kind of a lie in order, to get $10. I have no sympathy for such a breed of cattle, calling themselves human beings; they are a disgrace to the name 'detective,' and I take great pleasure in setting aside the conviction and giving to this young man a free and unlimited pardon." The governor says he pardoned his Negro chauffeur, Harrison Neely, when he was convicted in the Columbia police court of exceeding the speed limit because the prosecution was spite work on the part of the police, and, besides, he says, he was in the car and knows that it was not running at an illegal speed. JULIUS CONNER'S SAGE ADVICE. Profits By Being Wide-awake and is Willing to Tell Others the Secret —How Would You Like $100 Per Month About This Time? Do you want a permanent job, short hours, good pay? Then take the civil service examinations open to all— color not excluded. So says Julius J. Conners, who recently was appointed chauffeur on the Cook County ambulance at $100 per month. Julius only works eight hours a day and all others under civil service do the same. You are notified and it's up to you to go and find out what is open on the board of the civil service room in the county building at room 547 and the city hall room 610. There are nearly one hundred race men and women in the employ of the city and county in all departments as follows: Stenographers, clerks, janitors, elevator operators, messengers and engineers. There are open new positions for new chauffeurs, $100 per month; janitors, $75 per month; domestics, $30 per month with room and board included. Julius says he will gladly help and give information to any who wish to better themselves. He lives at 3304 State street. FAMOUS RACE COL LEGE IN DISTRESS. Fisk University Needs Help from Friends—Graduates Take Notice. (Special to The Defender.) Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 13.—A renewed effort is being made by the chairman of the finance committee of Fisk University to raise funds to keep the institution going. Even with the strictest economy, it is handicapped by lack of sufficient funds for running the institution with its present enrollment. Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has shown his interest in the work by making a conditional offer. It is now up to the graduates and friends of the institute to immediately send contributions to the institution. Now is the time for men and women of the race to help a worthy cause. How to Clean a Violin Bow If your bow is at all greasy, it may be cleaned with soap and hot water, and will then take the rosin once more. But the hairs may be worn smooth by usage, and in that case the only remedy is to have the bow repaired. If used constantly, the hairs wear out in about six months or less. "The man who sings is never wholly bad," says one of the philosophers. We might almost say the same thing of the girl who is taking vocal lessons, "My father is working on an invention that he expects to make him a millionaire." "My father is partly crazy, too, but doesn't let it interfere with his job." Time? Almost. Two of a Kind. Another Victory for the Chicago De- Another victory for the Chicago Defender—Dr. Parker Well Known. When the Boston Dental Company first opened its branch at State and Thirty-fifth streets the Chicago Defender at once called upon the management for an advertisement, which was at once prepared. Watching the large number of Afro-Americans that patronized the company, the Chicago Defender again called upon the management and asked them to employ an Afro-American dentist. This was on Monday, and on Thursday of this week Dr. Hale G. Parker made his appearance, prepared to take care of their most fastidious customers. Everyone should rejoice, for "each victory will help us some other to win." ANNUAL SERMON COMMITTEE ELECTS CHAIRMAN Many Representatives of the Various Branches of Odd Fellows Meet and Elect J. B. Street to Im- In compliance with the general law governing the annual sermon committee, which is a branch of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, twenty-five bodies of said order met at Odd Fellows' Hall, 3335 South State street, Sunday, Feb. 8, at 2 o'clock, with three representatives from each body present. The meeting was opened in due form, H. T. Wells presiding. After the enrollment of the new representatives, the election followed. Mr. J. B. Street was elected chairman of the general committee for the term of one year. He is a hard and earnest worker, and a faithful member of the order; he is honest and fair. He deserves great credit for the work he has done and is doing in all of the organizations that he is a member of, and should be supported for any office that his friends may desire to have him fill. Mrs. Minnie O. Quails was elected secretary of the committee: SPARKS FROM THE RAIL Winston's Spicy Gossip of Men and Events in the Railroad World. Messrs. Lee Byers, 705 Barr street; Levy Green, 1014 Cutler street, and Bud Jennings, 839 Kenyon avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio, were in Chicago February 3, in the service of the Monon railroad company; also Mr. R. C. Rickman of 2942 Prairie avenue. They were entertained by Mr. Harry Kelley at Thirty-first and State streets. A round of joy was turned on for thirty minutes, and a box was engaged at the grand for the second show.

Underwood of the Erie railroad company had to say about the B. of R. T. P. of A. in a letter to the executive chairman of the committee, Mr. John R. Winston, 4015 Cottage Grove avenue, Chicago, Ill. The letter reads as follows: "Dear Sir: Mr. Underwood has your favor of the 21st in regard to the proposed Brotherhood of Railroad Train Porters of America, and directs me to state that when your organization is completed he will be glad to have you furnish him with further details pertaining to it. Your truly, H. C. C. Hooker, assistant to the president." Brother B. E. Anderson, 5110 Dearborn street, is running to Mattoon, Ill. in Pullman service over the I. C. R. R. lines. Mattoon news The Defender wants "get busy." It is reported that the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company had an envelope handed each porter on the night runs that handle hair pillows to put 5 cents off each pillow that they rent out to passengers—the company is to get 20c on the dollars and they only pay their porters $45 per month ("graft"). The Brotherhood of Trainmen (white) have in their minutes and have been tabled, to pay the porters the same salary as they do their brakemen, and they are going to try to put it over. This means the porter no good whatever. It means to put the porter in the streets, off the road entirely. They will not pay porters the same. Mr. J. W. Cobb, 3624 Vernon avenue, is holding the position as chair car porter in service of the C. B. O. R. R. Co. between Chicago and Minneapolis, Minn., and is soon to sign up as a member of the B. of R.

While orators were eulogizing the sainted memory of Abraham Lincoln on Thursday, President George F. Leibbrandt, the officers and directors of the new $40,000 Lincoln bank, 31st and State, stood in that magnificent structure of brick, stone and steel welcoming its patrons and friends to its formal opening. This bank which was established May 6, 1912, by Messrs. Leibbrandt and Bowers on East 31st street, near State, with a small beginning has assets of a half million dollars, capital stock $200,000, and a surplus of $20,000, doing a monster business daily among the leading merchants on the South Side. The structure was built to last forever, and one of the most attractive parts is the steel safe, regulating its opening by a time clock. The monster steel door is eight inches thick. Here are two entrances to the safe, one used for private boxes and the other money and the banks personal property, a third door to the left for books. To the right and left are windows for savings, statements, bookkeeping, receiving and paying. The entire interior is of marble and stone and beautifully illuminated with indirect light. As you enter the president's office is to the right, the cashier next and on the left is the ladies' waiting room and bond department. On the second floor or balcony is the directors' room, handsomely appointed, many remembrances of Lincoln are observed; there is Lincoln and his first cabinet, a hand painted picture of his cabin house in Larue County, Ky., and a life size photograph. The furnishings are quartersaw oak, the fireplace marble, red tile brick, hardwood floor and green brussels carpet. There is a convenient private 'phone in this room. Every detail for doing business in the latest and most modern style has been worked out at this institution and it has become the "Wall Street" center of the South Side. The officers are George F. Leibbrandt, president; Chas. A. White, vice president; Edward Larson, cashier. Directors: Frederick A. Brown, Thos. W. Cole, Daniel Gawne, Roy B. Tabor, Jos. Schwartz, W. I. Scherherhown, Charles A. White and George F. Liebrandt. Each visitor Thursday was given a new Lincoln penny set in aluminum, upon which was inscribed "Keep me and you will never be broke." Cigars and American roses and carnations were freely distributed. It is said that 10,000 passed in and out the new bank and were made welcome by President Liebrandt. To the Defender representative he said: "We are now ready to give the best service possible to our many patrons. We expect to do a bigger business this year than ever."

Motorist—"Lift this car off me, will you?" Farmer—"Sure! But how did you ever crawl under it?" Woman's Knowledge Seemed Amazing to the Juvenile Distributor of Florist's Wares. Although he was only a tiny chap of not more than ten or eleven, he already felt the necessity of helping the family earning capacity, and was cheerfully doing his small share by delivering flowers for a florist. The Woman Who Understood chanced to sit next to him in a crowded street car on an early Saturday evening when the air was crisp and frosty, and a blustering wind was playing havoc with women's skirts and hats. He wiggled his small body close to the end of the bench to make room for her, taking care meanwhile not to crush his precious burden, and looked up with an ingratiating little smile. Across his arm he carried a bunch of gorgeous chrysanthemums, nearly as big as himself, and in the other hand was a square purple box, evidently containing violets. In spite of the rakish tilt of his ragged cap, the grim aspect of his sleeve ends, which betokened many an impromptu face cleaning, and the grubbiness of his little hands, you could not help noticing that his cheeks had still an adorable baby curve. So the Woman Who Understands smiled down upon him and asked him the names of the flowers he was carrying. He didn't know. All he knew were dandelions, daisies, buttercups and clover. He picked them in Central park, he confided, when the trees began to get green. But these pretty flowers with the "fancy" names were a mystery to him. The big flowers, he said, were called "mums." He knew that because he had heard the "boss" say so. "Mums,"" repeated his companion in astonishment. "Why, no, those are chrysanthemums. Don't you think that's so much prettier?" He stumbled over the rame, but repeated it again and again, evidently impressed with the grandeur of the title. "And what are in the box, do you know? I can almost guess, without having even seen them." "Dey's purple, lady," he informed her. "I seen 'em go in. And they smells sweet." "Of course they're purple. They're violets—sweet violets." "Villets," he repeated wonderingly. "I read a story oopet about violets, but I didn't think how day [ooked]. Then he looked impressed. "Gee, lady," he burst out, "don't you know an awmul lot!"—New York Press. "Freak" Hoslery From Orient Quite the newest, and almost the prettiest, of the silk stockings designed for feminine wear, is a white silk stocking, with an all-over design in Dresden flowers woven into it. The heel and the whole silken length of the stocking, is covered with this charming design of pink roses, and blue forget-me-nots, a pretty touch, with some of the quaint evening frocks of the moment which do not follow the lurid path of the oriental influence. They should be worn with low black patent leather slippers, with ankle or instep straps, to complete the quaint effect. Among the "freat" stockings, which appear with such regularity that one must believe that they have buyers, is a novelty made of strands of fine silk braid, plaited crisscross, and fastened with tiny beads at each crossing. Another novelty was made of silk threads, knitted in a loose mesh, and held by glittering beads. Of course, regular silk stockings must be worn under these—they are mere excuses. But the under stockings are always of flesh color silk. The City a Big Business The city is a corporation and should be conducted on a business basis, just as much as a bank or a dry goods store or a life insurance company or a newspaper. There was a time when a newspaper could not be conducted except as an advocate of the principles, right or wrong, of some political party. It was expected to turn its batterles on the opposition, right or wrong, and to defend its party, right or wrong. That attitude is changed now. In the big cities scarcely a newspaper is found, worthy of the name, that is not independent. The reason for the change was that the people wanted reliable news, not partisan news. They supported newspapers that put the interests of the country first. The party organ went into the scrap heap. The same principle applies to municipal affairs as to other corporations, banks, dry goods stores, manufacturing plants, newspapers, what not. They are all purely business propositions, and should be conducted as such.—Albuquerque Journal. Deteriorate With Age It has been noticed for a long time that monkeys become more stupid as they advance in years, but until recently no plausible explanation for this condition was available. Edmond Perrier, a French scholar, says the reason is that the temporal muscles grow upward from birth until adult age and that by compressing the brain they prevent its development. In the same connection a number of experiments have been made showing how the development of the skull or the face is influenced by the compression or removal of certain organs. The teeth of dogs were extracted as soon as the molars appeared through the gums, and it was noticed that little by little the skulls of these dogs grew deformed. By cutting the temporal muscles of dogs or monkeys a compression of the cranium is produced. WILL Save Famed Frescos An artist has been found who claims that he can restore the frescos of the famous museum of Thorvaldsen, at Copenhagen, and the municipality has appropriated a sufficient sum for the work of restoration of a building which was rapidly becoming a reproach to the Danish capital. The unique collection of Danish sculpture within the museum are in splendid condition, but the outside decorations of the building, especially the famous frescos recording the history of Thorvaldsen, are in a deplorable state.

JAPANESE NOT NEGROES' EQUAL. Senator Vardaman of Mississippi— "Will you will admit that the Japanese in all the elements that go to make up the man is superior to the Negro?" Senator Jones of Washington—"No, I do not admit that." Washington, Feb. 7.—Senators Vardaman of Mississippi, Martin of Virginia and Smith of Georgia, forgot the vitrolie and spectacular brand of oratory that has made them famous "down home," last week when they got into a debate on the race question with Senator Sherman of Illinois and Senator Jones of Washington. The trio of fire-eating Southerners were completely routed in the verbal battle by the earnest and broadminded Northerners. The trouble began in the discussion following the Senator Jones' amendment to the Agricultural Extension Bill, as published in The Chicago Defender Feb. 7, providing that Negro as well as white institutions in the South should receive a proportionate share of the money for farm demonstration work. Several senators from western states supported Senator Jones in his contention. Vardaman, Smith and Martin declared that the people of the South were competent to work out the race question. Sherman's Red Hot Question. "How many Negroes are allowed to vote in Virginia?" Senator Sherman asked Senator Martin. "I do not know and I do not care to be cross-examined on that point," Senator Martin replied. Senator Vardaman wanted to know if Senator Jones would be willing to allow the Japanese to share in the administration of the land allotted to the Pacific coast states. "Yes, if the Japanese were citizens, but they are not," was the response. "Well, will you admit," continued Senator Vardaman; "that the Japan- / 69 W.

A. esse in all the elements that go to make up the man is superior to the Negro?" "No, I do not admit that," declared Senator Jones. Senator Vardaman sat down remarking: "I can't argue with that kind of a man." Battle Renewed Next Day. Battle Renewed Next Day. The next day the fight continued. One night's sleep did not show "the three disraces" to any better advantage. When active hostilities began they appeared like weaklings and entirely out of place in such a decorum place, as the United States Senate, Senator Vardaman cited the riots at Springfield, ill, arguing that mobs also attack Negroes in the North. "It took 4000 soldiers," said Senator Sherman, "to reduce society to its normal state in Springfield. When men recovered their senses it was found that no outrage was committed, but it gave our city much unpleasant notoriously. I will concede a great deal to those who are bearing this problem, but the political question involved in the race issue is one that has nothing to do with the economic question." Vardaman Backs Water. "I did not refer to the Springfield riots in any consious spirit," explained Senator Vardaman, "but only to show that such incidents occur in other parts of the country than the South. In the black belt of Mississippi the white women live in a state of constant slege. They are not as safe as were the women of the western frontier when wild men and wild beasts roamed over the plains." But the voice of the Senator from Mississippi was husky as he repeated the ridiculous and time-worn subterfuge. Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan expressed the opinion that the possession in the South of $500,000,000 worth of property by the race was tribute to their lateft ability.
