HAMPTON LEADS IN VIRGINIA CLEAN-UP WEEK Encouraged by Good Results Last Year Organization Society Arranges for a State Wide Clean-up from April 26 to May 2. By W. A. Aery. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Hampton, Va., April 17.—The Organization Society of Virginia, through R. R. Moton of Hampton and J. M. Gandy of Petersburg, is planning for another state wide "Cleaning-up Campaign," April 26 to May 2, similar to the clean-up day so effectively observed last year by the people in every community of the state. Last year the society arranged with the State Board of Health to set apart and observe one whole day as clean-up time all over Virginia. As an aid to a proper observance of the health day, the Health Board published and distributed, free of cost to the society, a special health bulletin, in which were given instructions as to how to proceed in the matter of effective cleaning. Health bulletins this year will be sent in large numbers to the ministers, teachers, doctors and other leaders of the people in every city and county of the state, to be read, distributed, and explained to the masses of the people as they gather in the churches, schools, and other places of assembling. Special letters accompanying copies of the health bulletin will be sent to almost all of the newspapers of the state, the editors of which have uniformly lent their columns and news space to a wide publicity for the health movement. The great possibilities for good to all the people of Virginia, shown by the results of last year's clean-up day, have convinced the Organization Society of the advisability of arranging for another beneficial cleaning-up time. This year they are planning for a whole week, called the "General Cleaning-up Week," beginning April 26 and ending May 2. JOHN H.

(Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., April 17.—Employees of the race in several branches of the government service here fear the present appropriation bill means the dropping of many of them from the service on and after July 1. The new appropriation bill provides for a reduction of the force in several offices, and if the rule adopted the 1st of last July obtains many know they are doomed, and the scheme appears to them like a Democratic one to get rid of faithful and efficient employees. The new appropriation bill provides for 221 fewer employees in the Pension office. In this office there are many efficient clerks and messengers who fear the ax will fall heaviest upon them. an increase, rather than a decrease in the force is provided for in the appropriation bill. "No Colored need apply" and "Few need home to remain" seems to be the Democratic slogan. FLOYD EMANUELS SUFFER FIRE LOSS Chicago Defender Reporter Turns in Alarm and Their Only Child Saved by Miracle.

In the Auditor for the Interior office 13 employees will be dropped July 1. Last July, when the new Democratic Auditor from Virginia reduced his force he especially selected four efficient race employees to be dismissed. In the office of the Auditor for the War Department a reduction of seven $1,400 clerks and five $1,200 clerks is provided for. There are many clerks of the race in this office who are fearing the reduction is aimed particularly at them, and no one here doubts it. In the office of Auditor for the Post Office Department, where segregation is rife, a reduction of 25 employees is provided for. Race Men Not Wanted. In this office there are 75 or 100 employees, and they fear the 25 reduction means 25 of their number will go. To date the policy of this administration has been to promote none of them and to drop them whenever a reduction of force is provided for in the appropriation bill. Thus it will be seen that employees of color have just grounds for fear on July 1. In departments where there are only a few HAVE you noticed the weeks The Chicago been brimful of the latest?

SATURDAY LYN oyees tutional All Race pendence Day HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON AFRAID OF HIS JOB Recorder of Deeds at Washington, D. C., Retains White Woman Clerk Who Slanders Employes of His Race. Washington, D. C., April 17.—A white clerk in the office of Henry Lincoln Johnson, recorder of deeds, has testified before Congress that Mr. Johnson turns the management of his office over to his deputy while he abstens himself from his office; and further that Mr. Johnson has not devoted more than a total of three months to his office in three years. She also makes affidavit that a lady clerk, one of his own race, in the office made use of foul and profane language in speaking of President Wilson. Of course this affidavit was secured in order to get rid of the recorder and the race clerks in the office. The wonder here is how Mr. Johnson can maintain self-respect and properly represent his race and permit this white clerk to remain. He has the power to dismiss her, and ought to have dismissed her a year ago, as he stated he was going to do, when she at that time made slanderous charges against the efficient and experienced clerks in the office. In order to retain his position a few months longer it appears Mr. Johnson is disposed to continue in office this white clerk while she slanders him and the faithful employees in his office. It is this compromising attitude, on the part of Mr. Johnson, and his toadying to antagonistic white clerks that disgusts the race here. RAILROAD PORTERS WIN VICTORY State Commissioners of Indiana Win Test Case Against Railroad Company for Discrimination Against Employees. JUDGE UPHOLDS Porters Proven to be Well Qualified to Perform Duties—Any Discrimination is Unlawful and Unconstitutional, Declares Judge of the Hoosier State. [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Indianapolis, Ind., April 17.—Railroad trainmen won a victory in the courts here in the test case brought by the State Railroad Commissioners against the railroad company for violation of the state law governing a full crew upon passenger trains. The point in contention was to the effect that the porters were not capable; the complainant proved, however, that he was fully qualified and stood the best examination and performed his duties well and should not be discriminated against. Any discrimination should be unlawful and unconstitutional. The judge upheld the railway commissioners and decided that there should be no favoritism of races. R. Williams and R. J. Holloway of Chicago were witnesses in the case. TRUE LIFE. Do you know that the leader of the band is always the man who has played second fiddle?

REJECT NATIONAL BOARD'S WORK Reels Accepted by National Board of Censors Thrown Out Here—Cosmopolitan Makeup of Local Body Protects Every Race from Ridicule—Rev. A. J. Carey Ever Alert—Keenness Revolutionizes Pictures Portraying His Race. Chicago is moving picture crazy. The fad struck this city as soon as it did other large cities but as in other things it went them one better and is now the moving picture center of the United States. Not only in the number of places given to this form of amusement but in every phase of the business Chicago is a world leader. None can gainys this statement but along with its vast production of pictures and its large manufacture of films and every accessory goes the added distinction of putting upon the boards the most acceptable pictures of any city in the United States. Censors Who Censor. This work centers in the local Board of Moving Picture Censors under the direct supervision of Major M. C. L. Funkhouser, second deputy superintendent of police. This board is made up of men and women, representatives of every prominent race in the city, and individual effort on their part to see that their race is only portrayed in a sensible manner has resulted in the satisfaction of moving picture lovers everywhere. Throughout the entire state and in many other cities the O. K. of the Chicago Censor Board means the immediate presentation of a reel. The Chicago board is now a recognized authority. Reject National Films. Major Funkhouser and his lynxeyed assistants have made moving picture censorship a fine art. Even the films passed as perfect and unobjectionable by the National Board of Censors can not pass these keen critics and many of them have been rejected. All in all this board has set the pace for quality and there is pleasure and comfort in the popular "movies." Rev. Carey's Splendid Work. brought admission for governing sins.

Carey. Although the latest appointee, the well known divine has completely revolutionized the moving pictures pertaining to the race he represents. Before he was a member the board only concerned itself with the vicious portrayals but under the keen eyes of Rev. Carey even the ridiculous has been eliminated. A case in point is this: Recently a white firm in New York passed on to Chicago what they termed highly creditable race pictures. They had the sanction of various eastern censors but Rev. Carey saw nothing elevating in them and they were cut out. He has also done creditable work in the local theaters, especially in the downtown district and on the south side. Editor Visits Board. Wednesday of this week Editor Abbott was the guest of Major Funk- PAGE TWO houser in an inspection of the city moving picture plant and of the board in its active work. The second deputy superintendent of police is a man well versed in local conditions and talks fairly upon the question of the races. He finds his soldier service of great help to him in the work of the censor board and the other duties of his office. He is a firm believer in merit and not the color of a man's skin and has a forcible but pleasing way of saying so. Sunday night those readers of The Chicago Defender who have never met this broad minded city official will have an opportunity to do so, for he will address a meeting at the Institutional Church.

James C. Shelley has been found. Ethel O'Grady, a fifteen year old pupil at the Wendell Phillips high school, discovered him and there is rejoicing all around. First Ethel, who is a constant reader of the "Guess Who?" department in The Chicago Defender, things that she is little Sherlock Holmes. Ethel also reads other parts of her favorite newspaper. She read the ad asking for information about James Shelley, and he is happy, for in "being found," as he puts it, he will come into possession of property estimated to be worth $20,000. The Inquiry from Macon. Three weeks ago Mr. Henry H. Thompson had inserted the following advertisement: DONALD KNOW JAMES C. SHELLEY? Anyone knowing the whereabouts of James C. Shelley please write to his guardian, Henry H. Thompson, 250 First avenue, Macon, Ga. Last time he was heard from he was in Chicago. Mr. Shelley is wanted on matters of great importance.—28-4-11-18. There was no response to this inquiry until Tuesday of this week when Mr. O'Grady brought James Shelley to The Chicago Defender office and related the substance of this story. Ethel Is Sure. The O'Grady family, that is Mrs. Mamie and her two children, Grace and Ethel, reside at 56 East 32d street. Among their intimate friends was one "Jim" Shelley, who often spoke of home in Macon, Ga., and of his mother's property. He oftimes amused Ethel with a recital of what he would do when he came into possession of this property. She did not forget and when she read the ad seeking a Mr. Shelley she said to her mother, "I just know that he is the man." He was out of town, he is a dining car chef, but on his return it was found that he was the right man. All the glory goes to Ethel O'Grady and not the least thankful is James Shelley. Was Going Home. Mr. Shelley, who is now in his 42 year, left his home when quite a boy to try his fortune up north. Shortly after the death of his mother he was in Council Bluffs, Iowa, when a card from Mrs. Thompson reached him. This was in 1901 and she had just assumed charge of his mother's affairs and was trying to locate him. He had a good position at the time and did not return to the South. He had just arranged for a leave of absence in May to make a trip home when he learned that his guardian was looking for him. Historic Beard. The longest beard recorded in history was that of John Mayo, painter to the Emperor Charles V. Though he was a tall man it is said that his beard was of such a length that he could tread upon it. He was very vain of it and usually fastened it with a ribbon to his buttonhole, and sometimes he would untie it by command of the emperor, who took great delight in seeing the wind blow it in the faces of his courtiers. To Hang Pictures Pictures are hung preferably nowadays without long pieces of wire dropped from a molding, except in the case of extra large and heavy ones. They should be hung flat against the wall; and small pins or hooks that hold firmly and do not mar the wall may be had to effect the invisible hanging. Might Have Made It Stronger.

In their contact with railroad officials the committees should call attention to the following points wherever local conditions make it necessary. Three Great Needs.

Third—Proper and just accommodations on street cars, steamboats and railroad trains. The educator has written letters to various railroad officials bearing upon the matter. Says Mr. Washington: "I want to repeat that, in my opinion, if this matter is taken up vigorously and the principal railroad officials approached and talked to directly and frankly, a change will soon take place in every part of the country where conditions of public travel are not now what they should be. If the committees are appointed on Saturday and Sunday the railroad officials could be approached on Monday, but the matter of the exact time is, of course, not important; only we should keep in mind the idea of letting this movement be brought to a head on one day, or in one single week, so that the railroad officials may be impressed with the bigness of the occasion and the opportunity which is before them to increase their revenues by doing justice to nine or ten millions of their patrons. Wants Publicity. "I wish especially to urge upon ministers and other leaders to give notice of Railroad Day several times during the next few weeks from their pulpits. I am equally anxious that the newspapers should call attention to this day from time to time.

The auditorium was decorated beautifully with flowers, palms and birds and the purple and white commemorative of the season. The choir rendered magnificent music at all of the services. The church was crowded in the morning and afternoon and a very representative audience listened to Rev. Sing of our church in the evening. In the morning the pastor preached an Easter sermon that found a home in the hearts of the hearers. The annual sermon of the Knights Templar was preached by Dr. Callis in the afternoon. Preparations are well under way for our annual fair. It is hoped that this event will elicit the interest it deserves. We are fast approaching the end of our fiscal year and it is the desire of the officers that the reports of our church shall do us credit at the sitting of the annual conference. Sunday the special effort will be at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Rev. Harry Carroll of Fulton Street M. E. Church will preach the sermon and the Gospel choir, under the leadership of Mrs. Ella Ellott, will sing. The pastor will preach at 11 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Our choir will repeat its Easter music at the evening service. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society will be entertained by Mrs. J. Williams Tuesday evening, April 21, at 8:30, at 321 Calumet avenue. The Progressive Club was delightfully entertained by Mr. Henry Thomas Thursday evening, April 16. NEW HOPE FREE BAPTIST CHURCH.

Mrs. Daisy Blakley of 3207 La Salle delivered to the Sunday school a most beautiful subject, "Eastertide Deliverance," with which everybody was delighted. At 8 p. m. Rev. J. Connors preached for the congregation. Every Wednesday night is preaching. Every Friday night, praise services. Every fourth Sunday is our rally day.—Rev. J. Connors, Pastor. HOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sunday was truly a great Easter in this church. The pastor's excellent discourse upon the theme, "Easter a Proof of Immortality," was followed by calling the membership roll, to which answers were made in short verses and testimonials. The music, under the direction of Mrs. B. F. Syre, was climaxed with a solo, "My Redeemer Liveth," sung by the leader, Mrs. Syre. The Sunday school exercises were the best in the history of the church, the music being directed by Mr. W. Holmes. The audience of parents and friends of the children was profuse in expressions of praise. Next Sunday the pastor will speak on the subject, "Music in Heaven," and the choir will sing "Invisible Choir." Those who have no particular church home are invited to a seating in this new church. GRACE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The services Sunday were extremely well attended. A fine violin solo was rendered. Mr. Halm, Mrs. Sloan and Mrs. Ware sang with the choir, which was directed by Prof. Tinsley. The theme of Rev. Jackson's sermon was "The Resurrection" and was one of the most interesting and instructive sermons he has preached. Mr. P. Tinsley was installed as ruling elder and the other elders, J. Moore, Dr. Lewis and Mr. Pope, were presented to the church. Dr. Hall and Mr. Adolphus Harris were reinstalled and Mr. E. Cooper, the new trustee, was installed, together with the other trustees, Prof. Leo and Mr. McCray, who were presented to the membership. Miss Virginia Gibson is the financial secretary. The floral decorations were the present and work of Mrs. Dr. Manson and were very beautiful. The Men's Club, of which Mr. S. D. Fowler is president, will meet after the morning services next Sunday. The missionary society served dinner Thursday and Friday from noon until night. Prof. Tinsley presented the church with an annunciator. The Sunday school services were interesting. Aside from the usual Easter program, piano selections were well rendered by Margaret Ware, Dorothy Codozoe, Albertine Pierce, and a duct by Anna Foster and Prof. Lee. Prof. Mundy and Mrs. Nelson sang a duct, Mr. Halm sang a solo and the Sunday school joined in the chorus, and Miss Maud Roberts sang a solo Mrs. J. C. McKinney and Mr. A. G. Williams are recuperating. Mrs. Shelton is quite ill. THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. Last Sunday was truly the greatest Easter in all the history of Institutional Church. Tomorrow will even be a greater day than last Sabbath. Tomorrow will witness "something new under the sun." Rev. T. L. Scott and his entire m.membership of two hundred souls will be received into the membership of the Institutional A. M. E. Church. This will take place at the communion service at 2:30 o'clock, when all the A. M. E. pastors of the city, with their stewards, stewardesses, deaconesses and trustees, will be present to welcome Dr. Scott and his people into the A. M. E. Church. At night, 7:45, Major M. L. C.

A First-Class Laundry Agency in Convenience Springfield delivered a masterly address on "The Significance of Appomattox." NEW HOPE C. M. E. CHURCH, EV. ANSTON. Sunday being Easter Day, all attention was toward things that had their bearing upon the occasion. At the morning service the pastor filled the pulpit and preached an instructive as well as a spiritual sermon on the theme, "Resurrection." The services seemed highly enjoyed by all present. The evening services were given over to the Sunday school for the Easter exercises. A most excellent program was rendered by the young people, including recitations, instrumental and vocal selections, all of which was highly in keeping with the occasion. The Easter address was delivered by Rev. Nathaniel Goddard of the Garrett Biblical Institute. The speaker based his talk largely upon the history of Easter, which was very instructive and inspiring to all that heard it. ST. LUKE'S M. E. CHURCH. The Easter services were well attended and each had an interesting program. The pastor delivered two of his best sermons since having been at St. Luke. We appreciate such able sermons coming from one of God's faithful workers. Superintendent Smith and Mrs. Bowles are to be congratulated for the success they are having with the Sunday school scholars. The program rendered by them speaks well for St. Luke's Sunday school teachers, and what the friends and parents might expect in the future. The Lyceum in conjunction with the Epworth League opens at 6:30 Sunday evening; you are cordially invited to be present and enjoy a good program. Attorney Caldwell is working faithfully to keep up the interest, which means so much toward the building up of our church. ST. MARK METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

Address all church matter to Religious Editor. IN CHICAGO AND SUBURBS. Mrs. Daniel H. Williams, Mrs. George W. Walker and Miss Maude Taylor expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the evening's entertainment on last Monday night. Mrs. R. E. Moore, Jr., showed all indications of a wife that she was overjoyed at her husband's success as a soloist. Mr. Moore acquitted himself very creditably. The girls, Mrs. D. R. Lawrence, Mrs. Mamie Carroll, Mrs. Blanche Cornwall, Mrs. Etta Shoecraft and Mrs. Mary Waring were all present as an inspiration to their own. D. Goodlow Smith's song was missed this season, and many wondered why Dock, as he is called, did not render a solo, as he has a voice that is pleasing to hear at any time. There were a great many Worth-like fitting gowns out for the occasion, and the attractiveness of them added much to the beauty of the crowd. Quality stands out prominently wherever it may be. It is rumored that several of our fair ladies are going abroad this coming summer, but I have not been able to learn their names as yet. Several people have gone so far as to arrange for their reservation and then change their minds. So do not hesitate to let your names be known. California will be represented among our visitors this summer, which is unusual. Los Angeles and San Francisco, it is said, will be the cities from which they will come.

Hubby Had Missed the Car, but She Thought He Was on the Back Platform, and insisted That He Produce. When the conductor came through he stopped before Mrs. Standish and said: "Fa—ur—urs, please." Mrs. Standish swallowed a peppermint lozenge whole and said: "My husband will pay for me." The conductor looked around on the carried ranks of femininity doubtfully. "Were he is?" he asked. "On the back platform. He stayed out there to smoke." "There are a dozen men out there," was the reply. "How am I to know which one belongs to you? What kind of looking man is he?" "Handsome. He is tall, he wears a blue overcoat, and he's got the nicest black mustache, and the kindest brown eyes you ever saw." The conductor went away, only to return a moment later. "Say," he said, "he won't pay. He says you can't his wife." "Well, what do you think of that?" gaped Mrs. Standish. "You must have asked the wrong man. "That's what I thought. To make sure I got the right one, I asked every man out there." Mrs. Standish blushed deeply. "This is outrageous," she said. "I can appreciate a joke as well as anybody, but this is carrying it a little too far. Oh, dear, I wish the car wasn't so crowded so I could get out there. Tell him, please—the dark-eyed man—that I don't want to make a scene, but that if he don't quit playing the fool and pay my carfare I'll be obliged to come out there in a minute." "Yes, ma'am," said the conductor. Again he retired to the rear of the car. When he came through the next time he nodded to Mrs. Standish encouragingly. "It's all right," he said. "He paid up." After a while the car stopped at Mrs. Standish's street. She went out the front way and waited for Standish to join her. "Just the car passed and he did not appear. She stood at the corner looking anxiously up and down the street. Soon another car stopped and Standish got off. "You needn't say a word," he said. "It's your own fault. A truck got in the way and I couldn't catch that car you got in to save my neck. I called to you to get off, but you didn't hear. I worried all the way uptown. I knew you'd be hopping mad because I didn't come inside." "Oh, no," said Mrs. Standish. "I'm not thinking about that. What I am worrying about is, what on earth did that man think who paid my car fare?" Practicing Forethought. Forethought looks beyond the obstacle to ultimate results. It reaches out constructively for a way to get over, through or around that which hinders the realization of its object. Forethought, when exercised, develops the imagination. The mind accustomed to thinking ahead soon acquires vision. This leads to freedom in a higher degree. The one who takes no forethought is surprised, cast down, discouraged when anything goes wrong. Such a one is enslaved, imprisoned, as it were, by a wall of circumstances. The one accustomed to use forethought is far less the slave of circumstance. Such a one learns to look for a way by which to turn the unpleasant experience into profitable results. He uses his imagination to find a way out. He thinks constructively instead of just blindly giving in to fate. He has learned that by forethought and imagination, by creative, constructive thinking, he can find new ways to succeed when one way is blocked.—From the Nautilus. German Women Collegians. During the last six years the number of women students at the German universities has nearly quadrupled. In the winter of 1908, when the doors of German universities were first fully thrown open to women, there were 1,108 women students enrolled; today there are 3,685 women taking regular courses and as many more who are attending lectures. Nearly 400 of the women students are foreigners. Russia sends the largest number and America the next. The women have for three years been going more to the non-Prussian universities. Leipzig and Munich especially had large gains in that time; and the smaller institutions like Jena, Wurzburg and Freiburg have also made relatively large gains. Lighthouse Carried Away A remarkable accident occurred recently on the Clyde, when the new stenometer St. Quentin collided with Cardross lighthouse and razed it to the water's edge. The vessel had been refloated from the sand-bank on which she grounded shortly after being launched recently, and was being towed into the channel in order to be taken up the river to Glasgow, when, owing to the strong wind, she got out of control of the tugs, and was driven against the lighthouse with considerable force. The stone-built tower collapsed, some of the masonry falling into the sea, and only a few feet of the base of the building was left standing. The vessel did not sustain any serious damage. Revenge "Will you marry me, Miss Gussie?" "No, Mr. Jinks." "Oh, thank you!

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER THOSE POTATO BUGS By LOUISE OLIVER. Victoria had abandoned the little car in disgust when the gasoline gave out. She was only half way home from the post office and had the prospect of walking two miles to the Emersons, where she was staying. She tucked the letters into her blouse and trudged along, the hot sun beating down on her bare head. Collar turned in and sleeves rolled up, Sol was having a pretty good chance to spoil the milky whiteness of her skin. All at once she saw some cows. And no fence to restrain them, for they were out in the road and coming toward her. Three of them! one red, one black and white, and a Jersey. If there was a thing in the world that Victoria was afraid of, it was a cow. She stopped suddenly in dismay. What in the world should she do? On one side were some grass, a few bushes, and a fence. She couldn't hide under a bush. She would be sure to be trampled on. Where could she go? The fence was high. She had never climbed a fence. But the cows were coming! Anyone can climb a tree if a bear is after him. So Victoria got over the fence. That is, she climbed to the top and fell the rest of the way. And she knocked a pan out of a man's hand on her way down. Before she could scramble to her feet she caught sight of the contents of the pan, now scattered in all directions, and she started to scream and shiver, and cover her eyes with her hands. About a hundred or two squirming, crawling potato bugs was the sight she was trying to shut out. And then the man took her firmly by the shoulders. "Shut up," he snapped. "For the love of Mike, don't have hysterics here. What's the matter with you?" He was a very good looking young farmer. But he must be taught better manners than to be rude to a young lady in distress. She knew very well that he would never dare to address her that way could he ever have a chance to see her in her city environment. For it was true that Victoria's parents were very rich and that she had been educated and finished and polished and buffed, until she was sufficiently brilliant to attract a very eligible husband. And her present romp in the country was the order of the family physician, who was trying to harden her constitution for a wearying social season. Victoria was impulsive and generous by nature. She held out her hand. "I am very sorry. But I was scared to death at the cows. If you have another stick, maybe I could help get them back in again. I mean the bugs." He laughed. "No, thank you. It will only take a few minutes, Miss—Miss—" "Harmon. I am Victoria Harmon, and am staying over at the Emerson farm. My car broke down and I'm walking." "But it's two miles." "I know." "And it's a beastly hot day." "Yes, it is." "Well, won't you let me hitch up and drive you home?" Victoria, accustomed to offers of homage and also accustomed to accepting them, said simply, "Yes, thank you, I believe I will." So she waited in the shade of a chestnut tree while the man went to the barn and got the runabout ready. She was thinking that, dressed up, he would be very fine looking, and he certainly had a commanding manner. He was so different from the men whom she knew at home. He was big and brown and hearty and she was sure he had never an unwholesome thought in his life. he drove her to the house. Then he towed her car home a little later. And Victoria kindly consented to drive over to Hanging Rocks with him on Sunday to see the falls. It was as she had thought. He did look well dressed up, and he seemed to know how to dress. His clothes were well made and made for him! She began to be puzzled. Once he spoke of Naples as though he had been there. The Emersous knew nothing of him except that he had recently bought the Brown farm. There were several rides and many walks before the time came for Victoria to go home. She both hoped and feared something, but when the day came her young farmer friend said only a polite "good-by" at the station. Victoria went home to the city with a vague longing in her heart. One day her mother said to her, "Victoria, I wish you would "nice to Mr. Thurston whom your other is bringing home to dinner tonight. He is very desirable, good family and all that—and very rich. He has been away and has just come to town. He has the reputation of being eccentric and people say he is crazy about farming. I don't know much about that part of it, but I know he is very, very well off." "Yes, and I suppose he is as ugly as satan and as rich as Croesus and he's looking for a young wife and I'm it," Victoria stormed and ran out of the room. She was getting very irritable. The whole scheme of society nauseated her. Dinner was at eight. She was dressed by seven, for she wanted an hour in the cool darkness of the little garden back of the house. She walked restlessly up and down beside the hedge of althea and finally dropped dispritedly onto a bench. "Donald," she almost sobbed aloud. "Donald, Donald, Donald! It is so lonely without you," she moaned into the darkness. And out of the night, yet close to her, he answered: "Victoria, dear; surely you can't mean me. If you do I am the luckiest dog in the world." Then it all flashed across her brain. Her young farmer of the potato bugs was Donald Thurston. No wonder people thought him eccentric. WATCH THE UMRELLA MAN SAYS HE CAN TELL WOMAN'S CHARACTER BY IT. Just as Well, if One Has Propen-ties the Wishes to Conceal, to Get a Few Pointers From This Article. The man who sat nearest the window and said he didn't mind the wet weather. "It gives me a chance to see how people carry their umbrellas," he said. "I have such firm faith in my umbrella deductions that I wouldn't be afraid to choose a wife with them for a guide." The woman on his left smiled. "I'm glad I'm not out there in the street," she said. "You'd be picking out all the kinks in my disposition along with the rest of them." "Oh," said the man, "I sized you up a long time ago. You carry your umbrella, when it's furled, just like that woman across the street. You grab it in the middle and go forging ahead with the ends of the handle digging into the unfortunate pedestrians who go before and follow after." "And what does that signify?" she asked. "Alertness, activity, selfishness, and inconsiderateness." "U-m-m, thank you," said the woman. "But just look at the third woman in the procession," said the man. "I pity the men folks about her house. I dare say they have to get their own breakfast about six mornings out of seven. I never yet saw a woman who dragged her umbrella along so that you could track her by the trail of its tip who was not dilatory and shiftless. "That other woman who is hustling along, holding to the top of the umbrella handle like grim death and pointing the tip down and forward in a kind of south-by-southwesterly direction is altogether different. She would set the world on fire if it wasn't waterlogged. I am not sure that I want to be married to her, either. She'd be too energetic. She'd push everything before her, and when she took a notion to clean things up a mere man would have nowhere to lay his head. What she is good for is serving on committees. "That woman in the gray skirt is a yea-and-nay sort of person. She wants to agree with everybody and follows wherever led. Women who carry their umbrellas with the point downward and backward are always unassertive." "But just look at that girl who spins along, swinging her umbrella around in a circle as if it were a magic wand. I like her. She's jolly and good-natured and gets more pleasure out of life than ten ordinary people. "But here," he added, "comes the most even tempered woman of the lot. She cuddles her embrelle protectingly under her arm as if she doesn't want even it to get hurt in the crowd. That woman is thoughtful and kind." Coal in Montana The presence of coal in the tertiary lake beds of verdant valleys in western Montana has been known locally for many years. Some of these localities have experienced short coal booms, most of which, however, died before the mineral was developed. At the present time, however, systematic mining is being carried on near Missoula. Coal of the type found in this region has, until recently, been thought worthless, because only such fuel as would coke or stand shipment without slacking was considered of commercial value. In this part of the West where high grade coal is scarce, where the cost of wood has reached $6 or more a cord, and soft coal imported for domestic use sells for about $8 a ton, the demand for cheaper fuel is great and the development of these heretofore unused low grade coals is becoming profitable.—Coal Age. Careful Talesman. The prosecuting attorney was some what taken aback one day by the answer he received from a prospective juryman whom he was examining. The talesman was the owner of a garage. "Do you know me or any of the lawyers in this case?" the attorney asked. "No." replied the talesman. "You don't know me, or Judge Blank, or Mr. Jones, or Mr. Smith here?" "Well, sir," said the talesman, "all I can answer is that none of you do it under the names you have given in court this morning." Medicine of Deer Horns A considerable trade in deer, reindeer and wild sheep horns exist in China for use in Chinese medicines, and Hongkong, as the chief center of trade in Chinese medicines in South China, imports a considerable quantity of such goods annually. Wild sheep horns in prime condition bring something like $3.60 to $5.75 gold per ounce. All these horns are ground into powder and mixed with other ingredients to form a sort of pill tonic "strengthening pills," as the Chinese term them—and are used largely by old people and people in debilitated condition. Some of the large medicine factories in China maintain herds of deer for their horns. Among Friends Patience—Every one at the meeting said I had a perfect figure. Patrice- Indeed! How many women were there? "Just fifteen." "Well, I read in the paper only yesterday that only about one person in fifteen has perfect eyesight." The Victim. "I see where a woman asking a divorce said the only reason her husband didn't succeed in killing her was because her little dog bit a piece out of him." "Poor little dog! I hope it won't give him hydrophobia."

PAGE FOUR JACK JOHNSON'S ATTORNEYS WIN COURT VICTORY United States Circuit Court of Appeals Hands Down Opinion Tuesday in Famous White Slave Case—Some Counts Are Remanded to Lower Courts for Retrial While Others Are Uphold—Government Case Faulty TRUTH OF CASE SLOWLY COMES TO LIGHT This High Court Decision and Recent Efforts to Amend the Mann Act Shows Champion's Friends That Their Contention That He Was Persecuted and Not Prosecuted Was Nearly Right—The Chicago Defender Always His Friend. Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, through his attorneys has uppercut the U. S. government charge that he violated the Mann act when the United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed down an opinion Tuesday that gratified his chief counsel, Benjamin Bachrach, and made his many friends jubilant. The Chicago Defender has always championed the cause of the underfeated fistic gladiator, claiming that he was not prosecuted but a victim of persecution. Gist of the Opinion. The opinion which was read by Judge Haker, in short, sustained the conviction of the lower court as to the two counts of the indictment charging Johnson with having improper relations with Delle Schreiber, the woman transported from Pittsburgh to Chicago. The evidence introduced to show that Johnson intended the Schreiber woman to continue in an immoral life was held insufficient. On the latter counts a retrial was ordered, if the government has additional evidence to warrant it. Wilkerson Still Contends. Wilkerson Stuart Contends. "A cursory reading of the opinion," said District Attorney Wilkerson, "shows that the evidence was held to be sufficient to sustain the two counts charging improper relations. Apparently the court holds the evidence insufficient to sustain the other counts, notwithstanding the known character of the woman and the known facts that Johnson met her in a disorderly house and subsequently furnished her money to run her flat. The court holds thus because the telegrams between Johnson and the Schreiber woman did not expressly mention the purpose charged in the indictment. Bachrach Is Happy. Benjamin Bachrach, chief counsel for the champion was happy over the court's decision. He said: "It is a great victory for us. 'Jack will come back now, pay a small fine and that will end it. The opinion of the court is very clear. We have fought hard for it and now we have won." Friends Are Still True. The talk of his return is only problematical, as he is prospering abroad. His case is in the best legal hands, as results this week show. The small band of friends who always believed in him are still true, but recent dissatisfaction over the Mann act and the agitation of a Chicago daily newspaper to have it amended has changed the sentiment in Johnson's favor. WEST SIDE. Doctors Enjoy Smoker A pleasant evening was spent at the offices of Dr. L. H. Holloway, 1658 West Lake street, Monday evening at a smoker given the West Slide doctors by Dr. Holloway in honor of Dr. Wm. E. Sudduth of Vinita, Okla., and Dr. E. D. Morrison of Muskogee, Okla., chief surgeon of the Morrison Sanitarium and Nurses' Training School. Encouraging remarks were made by Drs. A. W. Mercer, Lewis and Crawford. Dr. J. W. Harper represented the dentists, and Wm. Mason the undertakers. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. Springfield, O.

MINSTREL SHOW FOR BENEFIT OF OLD FOLK Amateur Minstrel Club Entertains Large and Fashionable Audience Easter Monday Night — Many "Stunts" Worthy of Professionals. Chicago's society people accomplished two things Monday night when they attended the annual show of the Amateur Minstrel Club at Oakland Music Hall. They aided the Home for Aged and Infirm People, the beneficiary of the event, and they advantageously displayed their Easter finery. The club turned out in full. The bones were held by Howard Cornwell. Andrew Childress and Charles Settles, while Joe Shoecraft, William Carroll and David Hawley handled the tambos. Master Robert Hardin and Stanford White acted as pages. A song hit of the evening was "In the Candle Light," by Dave Lawrens, in which the pages were featured carrying lighted candles. There were many songs both old and new, ridiculous jokes, and the able interlocutor, Frank B. Waring. There were many "stunts" worthy of professionals and enough variety to keep every listener interested from 9 to 11 o'clock, when dancing began to the strains of Prof. Garfield Wilson's orchestra. The Jalvans, a topliner team of professionals from the big vaudeville circuits, closed the program with an oriental and humorous juggling act. President Waring's announcement act that it was the hope of the club to have a larger hall next year was timely, as the audience he addressed filled the hall beyond the limit allowed by law. A full report of the receipts will be published later. The officers of the club are Frank Waring, president; Charles Washington, secretary; Howard Cornwell, treasurer; Dave McGown, musical director, and Cary B. Lewis, press agent. BURGLAR ROBS DOCTOR'S HOME Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore of Louisville Loses Valuables — Miscreants Frighten His Sister into Hysterics. [Special To The Chicago Defender.] Louisville, Ky., April 17.—A burglar entered the home of Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore at 1502 West Walnut street in the midnight hour and frightened his sister, Miss Georgia A. Lattimore, so badly that she became hysterical. The robber entered the house through the dining room, came through the dining room, to her room, and began searching for money. Miss Lattimore was awakened and screamed and the burglar took to flight. In the meantime the doctor was awakened and both looked the house over and found he had escaped. A close scrutiny was made and it was found that Miss Lattimore lost several pieces of Jewelry given by friends. Detectives were put on the case but no clew has been found. Dr. Lattimore is one of the leading physicians and surgeons in this city and his sister is supervisor of domestic science at the Central High School. She will have her spring vacation from April 29 to April 4 and expects to visit Mme. Martha Anderson at Chicago. In the meantime a theater party will be given in her honor. MRS. NELLIE HOWELL DIED EASTER SUNDAY. Was Preparing to Assist in Dressing Altar at St. Thomas' Church When Taken Ill. The body of Mrs. Nellie Howell, who died Easter Sunday, was taken to Galesburg, Ill., Thursday night for interment in the family lot. Her mother, sister and son, who live in Phoenix, Arizona met the remains in Galesburg on Friday morning. Mrs. Lowell was born Oct. 18, 1976, at Salt Lake City, Utah. She came to Illinois as a child with her mother. She came to Chicago some years ago. Early in life she became a Christian and joined the church and has been an active Christian worker. She was a member of the Dorcas Club of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, whose duty it is to furnish supplies for the altar. She was anticipating a very pleasant Easter, as she expected to assist the priest in his duties on that day—instead she went to join the Church Triumphant, who was chanting the praises of the risen Lord. She was the organizer and president of the 20th Century Art Club. She was well, only complaining of a slight cold. Wednesday she was unable to leave her bed, and pneumonia developed, of which she died Sunday, April 12, at 5:30 a.m. She was conscious to the end. Father Massiah visited her Saturday at about, 8 p.m. and had prayers. From 2 a.m. until 5 o'clock she continued to ask for Father Massiah, and stated that if he did not come she was in the hands of the Lord and she would be all right anyhow. At 5:30 she quietly passed away. She leaves to mourn her loss a mother, husband, son, sister, nieces and nephews, and a host of friends. WEEK IN ENGLEWOOD The mother of John Bell of 6209 Ada street passed away after several days' illness, and was buried from Blackwell's Chapel. The baby girl of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson of 6147 Loomis street was buried Thursday. Funeral services were held at the house. The baby of Mr. and Mrs. Sprylock of 6043 Ada street died and was buried from Blackwell's Chapel last Thursday. Mrs. Thompson will be pleased to meet her friends in her new home, 6220 Morgan street. The mother of Mrs. Mary Freeman of 5040 Wentworth avenue is in the city on a visit. Mrs. Lottie Morgan, widow of Jerry Morgan, 6529 Aberdeen street, will leave in a few days for a visit to her old home in Michigan. She will also stop at several other points of interest while on her way home. IDEAL WEATHER MAKES JOYOUS EASTER DAY Anniversary of Resurrection Morning Dawns with Sunshine, Bringing Conclusion of the Sorrowful Forty Days of Lenten Self-Denial—All Chicago Observes Christian Festival. GALA EVENT IN CHURCHES Places of Worship, Embowered in Flowers, Enlivened with Gorgeous Costumes—Usual Procession Along the Popular and Fashionable Thoroughfares Outclasses All Previous Similar Exhibitions. [For detailed accounts of services in the various churches, read the regular Church Department elsewhere in this issue.] Easter has passed but the memory of the joyous day will linger forever. It has been many years since Chicago enjoyed such a perfect Easter Sunday. The weather was ideal. The day dawned with sunshine, all nature seemed bright. It was the end of the solemnities of Lent—the forty day period of self-denial recognized by Christian churches—and was replaced by the optimism of a Christian festival with its promise of life after death. In a burst of music, with a shower of flowers and by the dousing of new and brilliant attire men and women in all parts of the city, impelled by various motives but with like effect, brightened this Easter anniversary. Churches Have Special Services. Churches of all denominations had special Easter services of song and prayer and a wealth of flowers was used in their decoration. The churches were packed to the doors, particularly at the morning services. Thousands of non-church going husbands, brothers and fathers, coaxed from their papers to act as escorts for wives, sisters, daughters or family friends, made their annual appearance in the places of worship. Those of them who were unappreciative of the religious element in the service no doubt were amply repaid by the exhibition of the varied creations, both of nature and of the milliners. Hundreds crowded the sidewalks in their eagerness to catch a glimpse of the after-church procession. The Easter Procession. In the afternoon the usual Easter procession outclassed all previous similar exhibitions. Especially along State street and, Thirty-fifth street from Dearborn to Rhodes avenue did 1914 spring styles uncover themselves and move about in state. The hospitals and charitable institutions were not forgotten. Not only were flowers which had been used in decorating the churches distributed among the sick and the poor but candies and Easter novelties were sent to brighten the lot of the less fortunate. Many Hear Miss Burroughs The lure of the balmy weather was forgotten in the afternoon at about 2 o'clock when as many as could be seated in Ebenezer Baptist Church gathered there to hear an address by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Religious Training School at Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C. The gathering was styled a mass meeting and had as its object the stimulation of interest in her school. Miss Burroughs was introduced by Mrs. S. B. Thomas, who acclaimed her the most noted and distinguished woman of the Baptist faith and the foremost disciple of religious training for girls and young women. Her subject was "The Life That Counts." For an hour or more the gifted speaker enthusiased the audigifted speaker enthused the audience with her timely talk. Miss Burroughs simply took the women into her confidence. She talked to them in a heart to heart way and put upon them the solution of the race problem. She declared that a woman's duty began at the fireside. That there and even at the cradle was the time to inculcate into their offsprings the principles of right living, honesty and thrift and that when they grew up that mother's influence would redound for good. Knights Templar Parade. The entire populace seemingly filled the street when the Knights Templar went by on their way to the A.M. E. Zion Church, 38th and Dearborn streets. It was the occasion of their annual sermon and the Sin Knights traversed several streets before starting for the church. Rev. J. H. Callis, the pastor, preached the sermon. DIGGS-THOMAS WEDDING Wednesday evening, April 8, Mrs. M. S. Diggs and Mr. E. M. Thomas were united in marriage at the residence of the bride, 2705 Dearborn street, by Rev. Anderson, pastor of Quinn Chapel. The bride was gowned in white satin with pearl ornaments and was given away by her eldest sister, Mrs. Phelps of Columbus, O. A nephew and niece were also present. The guests numbered about fifty and the happy couple received many presents. ROBERT HARROLD SHOWS "MOVIES" IN FRANKFORT [Special to The Chicago Defender.] Frankfort, Ky., April 17.—Robert Harrold of Chicago, chief electrician at the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, has startled the natives by exhibiting moving pictures in a clear, distinct and dignified manner. While the pictures are shown on Normal Hill, where the students are located, citizens of the city wend their way nightly to see his "majestic movies." Prof. Harrold is thinking of operating a theater in Chicago this summer. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER CONLON MAKES Makes Campaign with Remnants of Previously Strong Republican Organization and Receives Large Vote —To Run for County Commissioner. Charles M. Conlon, the Republican candidate for alderman of the Fourth ward at the recent alderman election held April 7, completely upset all previous predictions and records of Republicans in the Fourth ward. Mr. Conlon instituted his campaign with the remnants of a previously strong Republican organization, and through persistent and strenuous ef- Charles M. Conlon, Real Estate Expert. Charles M. Conlon, Real Estate Expert. forts obtained the largest Republican vote recorded in this ward for over eight years. His opponent, Mr. Richert, is chairman of the finance committee and has been alderman for this ward for the past ten years, and was reputed one of the strongest men in the city council. In previous elections this ward usually rolled up a Democratic majority of from four to five thousand. At the last contest Mr. Conlon reduced this majority to a little over 1,700 votes. On the strength of this remarkable showing the G. O. P. has hailed him as one of the most logical candidates for county commissioner in the fall primaries. Having been associated with the firm of Bowers, Leibrandt & O'Brien, real estate brokers, 6 East 31st street, he has become closely allied with the interests of the people of our wards and can look back with pleasure to the thousands of our people who are his staunchest and closest supporters. If successful at the fall primaries Mr. Conlon will be elected, and if elected will fill the position to which he aspires, creditably, and to the interests of the people of this section. E. J.

His patrons are thoroughly instructed in the real estate laws and the laws governing landlords and tenants and the financial part is arranged to suit each case. Notes and interest form a part of the instruction. Attention was called to Mr. Radke by praise bestowed upon his methods by several of his patrons. The result of The Chicago Defender's interview with him is his advertisement in another column. Mr. Radke was formerly a dining car conductor and has a large acquaintance among the Afro-Americans in this city. Among those who have purchased property through him are Mr. Bish, 3159 Forest avenue; J. E. Ledbetter, 3753 Forest avenue; Mr. Merryweather, 3753 Prairie avenue; Mr. Chatman, 3246 Vernon avenue; Mr. McFarland, 3839 Wabash avenue; Mr. Moses Mardis, 3820 Prairie avenue. OTIS B. DUNCAN.

OBJECTTOAPPOINTMENT OF MAIL CARRIERS AT NEW ORLEANS Representatives Estopinal and Dupre Protest to Post Office Department Against the Number of Race Men Appointed in Crescent, City—Forty-Two Qualify Out of Fifty-Five. EDUCATE RACE, THEY CRY. Then They Kick When Intelligent Men Excel Them—Silly and Inconsistent Plea Is Only a Play to the Bandstand—These Men Are Civil Service Appointees. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., April 17.—A stinging protest was made to the Post Office Department Tuesday by representatives Estopinal and Dupre against the appointment by Postmaster Leonhardt of substitute letter carriers at New Orleans. They made it to First Assistant Postmaster General Roper. The charges are that there have been an unusually large number of substitute carriers appointed lately, there being no fewer than fifty-five on the substitute list. Forty-two of them were members of the race. In the last twenty-nine appointments, twenty-two were on the list and only seven white men. It is further charged that of the seven white men offered appointments four have asked to have their appointments held up for no reason other than that they object to being put down to the level of their darker hued brothers. Donkey Acts Strangely. The congressmen especially objected because letter carriers are the link that connects the Federal government with the people who pay the cost of maintaining the government; that these carriers come into direct contact with the householders, and especially the women, and for that reason they are especially obnoxious in the positions to which Postmaster Leonhard has appointed them. The observation is made that it seems strange that during a Democratic administration such an overwhelming preference should be shown. The congressmen do not like the tendency shown by such appointments and they desired to go on record as opposed to any such political recognition of the race. These learned representatives who call merit preference are inconsistent. They preach education, and when their friends are excelled they kick. HEADWAITER JOINS BENEDICTS. Mr. William McCullough, a well-known headwaiter and party man, was married Wednesday afternoon to Miss Julia F. Meredith at the residence of Mrs. Fisher, 5317 Wabash avenue. Only a few friends witnessed the ceremony. GLENCOE, ILL. Glencoe, Ill., April 17.—Rev. Homer Wilson was appointed pastor at Lake Forest. His many friends wish him success. He will be greatly missed at the Glencoe church, where he was assisted by Rev. Peterson. * * * Mrs. Stella Irving has been a little indisposed but is much better. * * * Easter services were held at both churches Sunday. A fine program was rendered in the afternoon by the Sunday schools. * * * Mrs. C. Steward is reported better. YOU CAN PROVE IT. It is said that you are afraid to advertise because you are skeptical as to the results. If you have the Chicago Defender in mind, ask Grinnell, the baker; Dr. Britt, the optician; or Bartlett & Co., the real estate brokers, about the results they get. Our advice is easy. Try it. THE BLUE GRASS STATE. Home of Beautiful Women, Fast Horses and Fine Spirits Brought Into the Limelight. By Hardin Tolert. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Frankfort, Ky., April 17—Dr. W. L. Amiger, president of the State University, Louisville, Ky., was in the city this week and spoke Sunday at the First Baptist Church, filling the pulpit for Rev. W. T. Silvey. Dr. T. Amiger gave an excellent report of the state university and the wonderful improvements made during the past year. Mrs. Daisy Saffell of Shelbyville, Ky., was in the city, the guest of Miss Virgle Madison. She was enroute to eastern Kentucky on business and fraternal work. Miss Solena Mayo was the guest of the state university last week. She is the mistress of domestic science in this city. "Tallaboo," a melodrama, is expected here soon. A new baseball club has been organized. A debating society will be organized at the Corinthian Church soon. PROVIDENT HOSPITAL STILL WAITING Recently Mr. Alfred Anderson, business manager of Provident hospital, asked the friends of the institution to help make up a fund of $500 in order to get a like sum from Mr. Julius Rosenwald to wipe out the annual deficit. Many pledged various amounts and paid them promptly. Others have not, and it is to those that this story should be a gentle reminder. WHO STOLE THE Who stole the chairs at the gospel meeting? Who moved the organ overnight? These were the questions that puzzled Judge Wells at the Municipal Court at Hyde Park on Wednesday morning. Brothers Richardson, Arthur Saunders and William Bobo of Olivet Baptist Church were put out of a building at 4500 Federal because no part of the missionary basket went to the owner. Mr. Sweeny, after ejecting them out of the building, found later that the chairs and organ were gone, and found at 4010 Federal street. The brethren showed the judge that the chairs belong to Olivet Baptist Church and denied having any hand in the removal of the furniture. Judge Wells looked over his spectacles and said: "I'll dismiss you, brethren, this time, but don't let me catch you here again." HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS CAN CAMPE FOR PRIZES Chicago Singetax Club Wants Ten-Minute Talks in Favor of Singetax —Offers Cash Prizes as Incentive. The Chicago Singetax Club invites high school students to compete in ten-minute talks in favor of the singetax for cash prizes of $2, $3 and $5 at the rooms of the club, 508 Schiller building, on the last Friday of each month.

It is to be wondered if many of them have figured how much money they have paid to landlords. Possibly the rents paid by some during the past few years have paid in full for the landlord's property, and this same rent money could have just as well bought a home for the rent payer. When the landlord dies he leaves his property to his family and not to his tenants. If the tenant dies the landlord puts his family out the first time they fall to pay the rent. So, to be on the safe side, it is better to pay rent to yourself and not be a slave to the landlord. One of the most prominent real estate firms in the city has a plan whereby you can become your own landlord, so you can be good to yourself and to your own family.

NORTH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT AGAINST SEGREGATION High Tribunal Declares Invalid an Ordinance Enacted by the City of Winston-Salem—Follows Baltimore, Which Has Defeated Two Attempts and Is Prepared for a Third. While Other Races Watch with Apprehension This Unfair Policy That Could Be Easily Arranged and Applied to Them—Not Theory, but Fact. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Nashville, Tenn., April 17.—Another high court has decided against the un-American policy of segregating whites and blacks. This time the decision comes from North Carolina, being the Supreme Court's declaration of invalidity against an ordinance enacted by the city of Winston-Salem. Baltimore has tried segregation repeatedly; two different ordinances have been thrown out by the courts and a third will soon be subject to judicial action. Norfolk has attempted the same action and a test there is expected soon. The policy of segregation does not appeal to the open-minded. At the same time there should be consideration felt for those who feel the grind of the condition these ordinances are designed to relieve. It is no mere theory which confronts many of these communities. Other Races, Take Notice. But where would segregation lead to if indulged in at will by the majority in a community? If a connell has power to crowd the race together by themselves, what could there be to prevent a majority enforcing segregation upon any other race, group or creed whose standing in the community might not be the highest? Virtually these questions appear to have been raised by the North Carolina con In the long run, it is probable the problem which a segregation nance is designed to solve will care of itself. At any rate, it well to adopt a remedy which, last analysis, is worse than th final affliction. A. D. Hayes, news dealer, 230 State street, is giving away trading stamps.

The bishop of Winchester said: “I cannot help think: ing it is a regrettable thing that the word should continue. I cannot say that withont saying that In an {deal marriage service I should destro to eo some reference to the leadership of the man in the home.” And then the bishops avolded a decision by hav. ing the amendment withdrawn. ‘PEERLESS ORCHESTRA nn music ia 7 mo: FURNISHEDFOR it Aan ALL oe Bene Wie OCCASIONS Bie?

The American Giants celebrated Easter on the Pacific coast by handing the Portland team of the Northwest League two defeats. The Giants will open here the 26th. The coast papers are giving Foster's team as much space as the local papers give the major teams. The Lincoln Stars opened in New York last Sunday and won before a record-breaking crowd. The final score was: Stars, 8; Mohawk Giants, 2. Twice the game was tied, the Mohawks getting a one-ron lead in the first inning, only to let the Stars tie them in the second. Again in the fourth the Giants forged ahead with another run, only to let the Stars overtake them in the fifth. The Lincoln took the lead in the sixth and put the game on ice in the eighth, when they helped themselves to five more. Dismukes and Webster worked for the Giants, Wickware and Pierce for the Lincoln Stars. McMahon owns the Stars. He had the Lincoln Giants last year. Pierce, who did the catching, was one of Foster's nine last year. The Chicago Union Giants opened the local season last Sunday with the West Sides at Fairchild's park. Peter's sluggers won, 7 to 4. Ramsey started for the Union's but had to give way in the third to Alexander. Bellock started for the West Sides but he, too, gave way in the third to Fisher. The Union's got to Fisher in the fourth for four and in the fifth for two, and after that he steadied himself. Both teams scored a run apiece in the ninth. *** Gooekel, the fairest and the squarest of all the umpies that ever officiated at a semi-park and the favorite at the American Giants' grounds, has cast his lot with the Federal League. We can say is that we are sorry see him go and that in him the us have got a good, honest man, a bless one, and one who knows busel from A to Z. ward Drew is to run at the intercollegiate games of the University of Pennsylvania at Franklin field, Philadelphia, the 25th. He is to run under thorls of the University of Southern california. Drew will meet many of a fastest college men, one of who will be James Patterson of Pet the intercollegiate champion and the of the :9 4:5 record. Drew is a holder of the :9 4:5 record. The orders of both athletes have been ABBED by the A. A. U. BUT—Drew has made (as we stated in our last issue) :9 3-5 and the A. A. U. did not see fit to let it stand. Drew has been in California and the weather out there is dry and is also the very kind that Drew has needed. He never has but once had a chance to show his speed against the best men, and that was in June, 1912, at the Olympic tryouts at Harvard, when he won from Craig, the former Michigan University star. His time for the 100-meters run was :10 4-5, equalling the world's record. He was burning up the track in the trials at Stockholm when he broke down. The following is a statement made by Mike Murphy, the greatest athletic trainer that the world ever knew: "I have seen a great many sprinters in my day, but I never saw such wonderful speed in any man as this boy Drew possesses. Ralph Craig and Don Lippincott are great sprinters, but it is any opinion that if Drew had not broken down he would have won the 100-meters finals in time that would have astounded the world. Right up to the time of his breakdown he was from one to two yards faster than either Craig or Lippincott, and it would have taken :10 2-5 for 100 meters to have beaten him. "I don't know what the effect of his breakdown will be, but if he ever recovers and is properly coached, marks my word for it he will run 100 yards in :10 3-5. His legs move like pistons." Everyone who knew Murphy knows that he was very conservative about granting new records. He was always very bitter and outspoken in criticism of the A. A. U. authorities for granting the record of : 09 3-5 to Dan Kelly. Murphy trained Kelly six weeks prior to the 1908 Olympic games, and not once could he make Kelly run better than : 10 1-5. He was very caustic in his criticism of the I. C. A. A. A. A. for allowing the record of : 09 3-5 to Arthur Duffey, the Georgetown flyer. For these reasons such unreserved praise for the ability of Drew was a great concession for Murphy to make CURRENT EVENTS IN SOUTH BEND [Special to The Chicago Defender.] South Bend, Ind., April 17.—The Easter exercises at the A.

My Dear Sir: I have heard several references to The Defender's Liberia article—one even from Denver, Colo. We have not yet seen it. Will you please send me a copy? With best wishes for your success, FREDERICK STARR. Nourishing Drink. If you oversleep and the good man of the house does not have time to eat his breakfast, make him a generous cup of coffee and add to it a beaten egg and plenty of cream. He can drink this in one minute and will scarcely miss his breakfast. People often have egg drinks at soda fountains, but seldom think of preparing them at home. A man might just as well patronize a safety razor as a deaf and dumb barber. THE NEGRO IN CHICAGO Being the Observations and Comment of Mr. George Olsen, a Leading Danish Citizen By George Olsen. Is it possible for a European who has been in America for some years to give a true picture of the Negro? No! The European stands between the American white man and the American Negro. He does not, as a rule, associate with either. He lives his own narrow life like the white and the colored American. He gets Americanized, but only to a certain degree. He hates America because he does not know her. He puts himself above the colored and white natives, believing he is far better educated, refined, has a better social understanding of life, better taste, manners, etc. The Negro shows a certain pessimism (very natural) towards his white brother, and is therefore not easy to get acquainted with. The following articles were published in a Danish-Norwegian paper recently: "In what way does the Negro educate himself and where does he spend his time for same education? "A branch of the Y. M. C. A. for the Negro exclusively was dedicated June 15, 1913. The building erected on Thirty-eighth and Wabash avenue at a cost of $195,000, contains gymnasium, swimming pool, restaurant, lecture rooms and dormitories accommodating 175 persons. Of this sum $68,000 is guaranteed and $20,000 was contributed by Negroes in Chicago. "Among those who spoke at the inauguration was the well-known, but not universally well liked, leader Booker T. Washington. The space available does not permit a recital of his speech." It is characteristic that this race has as one of the foremost leaders a man as Washington, born and raised in poverty and still with a refined humor, logic and good sense, which the white Americans do not seem to consider as worth while. Washington can tell more jokes in one day than his white brother (even with Mark Train under his arm) in a lifetime. Y. M. C. A. met with success. If the Negro prefers dirt and uncleanniness why is it that this building stands there with its 200 men as a proof to the contrary? Is it the scum, the downtrodden, the drunkard, the thief, robber, etc., that is living there? Go out and look for yourself. This race pays from 15 to 20 per cent more for shelter than others. After going through this building and seeing how neat and clean everything is, and see the people that live there, anybody with a clear, unprejudiced mind will naturally change his narrow view of the Negro. ★ ★ ★ The Negro Fellowship Club owes its existence principally to Mrs. I. Barnett, who is struggling to keep it alive. There are discussions, lectures, reading room, employment office, lodging house, etc., but it is not patronized and encouraged as would be expected. The down and outs, the man who gets in conflict with the law, not because he is criminal, but because he is a fool, is taken care of. Some time ago a certain Mr. Allimoni began a series of lectures on politics and economies on Thirty-fifth and State streets, but owing to the lack of appreciation and attendance it only lasted about four weeks. The Negro, like others, has free admittance to all libraries, but as Dr. Hall says, he works long hours and wants a rest in the evening. The Pekin Theater, under Mr. Mott's leadership gave the public good, wholesome entertaining plays equal to most of the downtown theaters. But the undercurrent in most of the plays is "How to get into society." As some Negroes say: we are good imitators, and it is a pity to see to what extent we copy all foolishness and idiotism of the white race. Miss Ada Walker appeared here recently with her own company. She is a star. Very seldom is the actress, singer and dancer embodied in one person as in Miss Walker, but she is too free in her acting. This race has excellent dramatic forces among them, but thanks to the narrow-minded white it is difficult for them to develop. Each week appears The Defender and Illinois Idea. The Defender is well edited by Mr. Abbott, who defends the colored race in convincing terms and pictures the white in all its meanness, but does not at the same time forget to criticise his own. Dr. Williams writes articles on sanitary, hygienic and general health conditions similar to Dr. Evans in Chicago Tribune. There are 6,500 Negro porters in America, for these are published The Pullman Porters' Review, edited by Mr. W. A. Holbert. None of its staff receive any salary. * * * The Fellowship Herald, edited by Mrs. I. Barnett (the Jane Addams among the Negroes). This weekly publication, although somewhat handicapped, is, no doubt, the best paper the Negro has here in Chicago. It has 500 subscribers and is not filled with the silly nonsense so generally met with in the public press. From these sources mentioned above does the Negro receive his spiritual uplift. How does the Negro succeed in life and how does he keep his head above water under these deplorable conditions under which he is living? Dr. Hall says that many of them are porters and similar, at any rate too many of them are employed where the tip system is dominating. The Norwegian poet Henrik Ibsen quoted. The German waiter is the best soldier in the German army, because he is living from tips and used to bow down for same. He is sometimes admitted as member in the unions (have mercy, oh God, on American unions) pays his fees, but when the jobs are filled he is in the most cases pushed aside. Dr. Hall told me one day he came into a downtown office, the boy told him Mr. N. was not present. Dr. Hall thought otherwise and went straight into Mr. N.'s room, where he told his experience; same young man was discharged immediately. Northwestern admits the Negro. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER There is no doubt that positions as waiters, porters, etc., especially such that are dependent on the tip system in order to exist, degenerates, cripples and crush a man's character. Six or seven years ago the Negro waiter went on strike in Chicago. The white took their jobs as strikebreakers, after that it is getting more difficult for him to exist. A young Negro passed the civil service examination twice, but a white man got the position. In the stockyards are employed about 5,000 Negroes, but even there (the most flimty place in Chicago) he is put more and more aside unless some close friend can help him along. A $15 clerk will very indignantly leave his seat in a street car when a colored person sets down beside him, where the well educated, well to do and more refined person will show no prejudice. The Negro is not allowed entrance in many cheap 5 and 10 cent theaters and in most of the downtown theaters he is only admitted to the balcony and galleries, consequently he rarely patronizes the good theaters. I called Dr. Hall's attention to what the race lost in education by not taking advantage of the influence the theaters has in forming public mind and character. He answered; We have drama enough in real life without going to theaters! According to Mr. Abbott the newspapers never report what takes place between the Negroes unless in a flashlight. When a Negro steals a pocketbook from a person it is advertised with heavy lines. When two white men attack a colored girl you may perhaps find a small note somewhere. ```markdown ``` When the question was asked some of the leaders; What will the Negro do to get out of these terrible conditions under which he is living, the answer was: We don't know! It sounds similar to ex-President Taft's well-known "God knows!" When asked in New York at a large meeting by an unemployed, What shall we do? Taft answered back: "God knows!" The agitation started by Bro. Itozch of teaching the Negro Jewish in order that they should be able to read the Bible in the original language and furthermore have them emigrating to Liberia may without doubt be considered a joke. Mr. Jonah, a white man, may be classed in the same category. His co-operative grocery store did not succeed. His claim that 85 per cent of the human race belongs to the brown and that these same brown races should combine against the white race and whip them off the earth may be considered a joke (a very dangerous). The Negro, with his big heart and strong emotions, is easily appealed to, but reason should follow. The Negro should, according to Mr. Jonah, protest against going to war for the white race down to Mexico, if he does not get justice and a square deal here in America. Mr. Jonah is right. The Negro has been fighting so far everybody's battle but his own, but Dr. Williams denied that the Negro would not take part in a possible war with Mexico. I asked him if he thought there was some secret agitation in that direction, he answered, May be! * * * The Eighth regiment is willing and eager to go down to Mexico and fight and kill people they never have seen. If they fought only to satisfy a desire for killing go ahead. But when the war is over, what then? When peace was established between Russia and Japan the Japanese people in spite of their victory over the Russians had to pay 46 per cent in taxes than before the battle took place. What did the Negro receive after 1864? Jim crow cars, segregation, lynching, etc. I was told when U. S. soldiers came back from Cuba, the white objected (down in Georgia) against being in same camp with the Negro. What will he get as his share when America finishes its next war with another nation? In spite of all tricking, fake, humbug, cheap politics, disfranchisement from politicians, preachers, etc., the Negro is patriotic and religious as few. It was far better if he saved his life and blood to fight in his own interest instead of giving it away for white capitalists. The Negro has very little in common with the white American, he acts and thinks more like a South European, where the American is, what the Germans call him for mundafuul, i. e., mouth lazy; the Negro, like the Saxons, is very talkative. The Saxons have a saying that when one of them dies, the mouth keeps on running, so an extra person must always be on hand to kill same. Where the Negro should let his voice be heard in council and parliament, he will scarcely be found, he does not concentrate his forces as a race. The Negro is polite, where the American is the opposite. In spite of his religious inclination, he is jolly, where the American is dry and monotonous. The Negro loves music, music and dance, at least the first two. Is it possible here in Chicago in the Negro race to find the same hobo, tramp, good for nothing as is to be found on Clark and Madison streets? No. Poverty and persecution can neither make a fighter, beggar or criminal out of a man. The Negro takes some of the first, but it is the religious fighting spirit of Tolstoy. He has some and a good part of the second, it is, that waiter spirit which Henrik Ibsen refers to. Is he a criminal? If crime is misdirected energy, then give him a chance to use that energy to good advantage. Is he a criminal? Yes and no. According to C. Darrow we all are. The white man steals millions and is sent to the senate; the Negro steals a dollar and is sent to the penitentiary; he is an imitator, but at present a very poor one. Where highway robbery and high financial stealing is so much admired and looked up to as here in America, he ought to enable himself one day to get above the common every day thief. The superintendent on a New Orleans sawmill told me that he always employed the darkest help he could get. They are honest, willing and can be depended on; as soon as the Negro gets a mix of white blood in him, the devil appears, tricks, les, dishonesty, etc. Both of us white—I looked him in the face, we laughed and shook hands—superior race.

COURTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES They sat upon the porch one night, Beneath the moon's refulgent light; And likewise where each twingling star Could "rubber"* at them from afar. The soft winds sighed as soft winds do, When forced to list to lovers woo: And from the frogs in yonder creek Came croakings that were dull and thick Mosquitoes flitted here and there, And lit upon my lady fair: Their gentle but impressive sting Brought forth a slap and "horrid thing." And last but not the least of all Was father's footsteps in the hall; Two hurried kisses short but sweet, She flew up stairs, he down the street. WHAT OTHERS THINK ENTLY THERE CAME FROM KANSAS a man represent his state and school at the Northwest meet in Evanston. He came not only with a spiked athlete but as a scholar and a student. Lots wore the came—as to what fraternity should have theining him. He came, he was black; perhaps by Hon. John H. Wigmore, Dean of the Law university, so we quote in toto his article appearing: a pitiful thing to see a child stuated and main RECENTLY THERE CAME FROM KANSAS a young athlete to represent his state and school at the Northwestern University meet in Evanston. He came not only with a splendid record as an athlete but as a scholar and a student. Lots were drawn—before he came—as to what fraternity should have the pleasure of entertaining him. He came, he was black; perhaps the rest is best told by Hon. John H. Wigmore, Dean of the Law School of this University, so we quote in toto his article appearing in their daily paper: "It is a pitiful thing to see a child stunted and maimed by the inherited vices and weaknesses of its parents—defects which it had no part in making or meriting. And it is depressing to see young men perpetuate by mere imitation the unfounded prejudices of an older generation and a distant community. And this sad spectacle becomes more discouraging when these young men's own fathers were the very ones who fought their lives away to stamp out these prejudices and meannesses. Last week an athlete from Kansas was to come here to the meet. The fraternities had drawn for the allotment of the various guests. When this particular athlete came, he happened to go directly to the gymnasium, where he met first the head coach, an officer of this University. This officer discovered that the expected athlete was colored, instead of white. Believing with reason that the students to whose hospitality the visitor had been allotted would refuse to receive a colored student like a white student, he allotted him to a public house of entertainment kept for hire by a colored man. This was carried out. And so the young gentlemen of the fraternity were spared the association with the colored brother student. Since that time, and to avoid similar mischance, the allotment for guests at the interscholastic meet stipulated in advance that no colored student visitor should be placed in the university quarters with our white students. It is not my purpose to criticise the action of the university officer. It is my purpose to call attention to the facts. Here are groups of young men living in a land which bled its best blood for equal treatment of white and black, studying the ideals of all the past ages, aiming to be self-respecting gentlemen, cultivating the bravest and the highest principles of humanity, acknowledging the religious faith which proclaims all mankind as brethren. And yet they start out in life with practising the most pitiable kind of snobbery—the snobbery of color. And they have not the excuse of the South. The South inherited its troubles—inherited them from its misguided ancestors who robbed the black man of his home and made him a slave. I have no desire here to quarrel with the South and with what its people do on their own soil. But here, on Northern soil, there is no inheritance. To oust the colored man from equal treatment here is merely an acquired snobbery and the more inexcusable. Put yourself for a moment in the position of a well-bred university student, of colored skin, who is receiving such treatment from his fellow students, and look forward with him to the prospects of his career in life. And then ask yourself if this would seem a world of reason and justice. Of the young men and women who read this I ask: Face the question squarely and soberly now—now while your ideals are powerful and your motives unmixed. Face it as a question of conscience. Take down your Lowell, your Longfellow, your Emerson, your Lincoln, your Whittier, your Bible; take all the high things you believe in and marshall them before your unprejudiced self. Ask that self whether you can reconcile with those high things that you believe in the open and absolute refusal to treat equally a colored student simply because of his or her color. If you cannot reconcile it, then either give up professing those high principles or give up this treatment. A frank, cruel artistry of color would be a more wholesome thing than an inconsistent snobbery." The editor of this paper has but one thing to say—AMEN. WOMEN'S AGE. DATE ON THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION of Selma University and Tush Judges—after a hotly contested size to the Selma boys, who believe franchise. That is the general such broad states as Illinois, and having a hard time to convince creation that they have some right respect. Of course the Southern suffragettes down there do not their sisters of the North, for fear "sons" of color. It would be law this colorphobia injects itself inters not how far removed it seem. Clay-Haley, of St. Louis, a brightened in everything that tends for the man work in keeping the race org. Contact is the one great thing the judge of any kind, and our women of a civic nature, have a repugging, be heard on every subject that triple of any race. While the ballen men have practically ruled the women homes. Today finds women talk of life. And where they have for the better. Men are not losing run over, but simply aided and a gentle sex into their realms. So they looked upon as a bug bear but as IN A DEBATE ON THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION between representatives of Selma University and Tuskegee, at the latter institute, the judges—after a hotly contested battle of words—awarded the prize to the Selma boys, who believed women should have the elective franchise. That is the general impression among women and in such broad states as Illinois, among men, but the dear ladies are having a hard time to convince the great majority of the lords of creation that they have some rights that even they are bound to respect. Of course the Southerners are kicking up a row and the suffragettes down there do not care to form an alliance with their sisters of the North, for fear of the deadly contact with "persons" of color. It would be laughable were it not so serious, how this colorphobia injects itself into any and all movements, it matters not how far removed it seems at the beginning. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, of St. Louis, a bright, busy little woman, deeply interested in everything that tends for the uplift of the race, has done yeoman work in keeping the race organizations affiliated with the white. Contact is the one great thing that eradicates most effectually prejudice of any kind, and our women should be more active in things of a civic nature, have a representative at every public gathering, be heard on every subject that concerns the welfare of the people of any race. While the ballot is a great deal, it isn't all; women have practically ruled the world for years and done so from their homes. Today finds women on the actual firing line in every walk of life. And where they have gone things have been changed for the better. Men are not losing their prestige, they are not being run over, but simply aided and strengthened by the advent of the gentle sex into their realms. So the suffrage question should not be looked upon as a bug bear but as a valuable asset. THE MARRIAGE MARKET. "SPRING A YOUNG MAN'S BEST THOUGHTS OF LOVE," says, specially in the month of June the everything and everybody seem to warm weather approaches. A new life without a partner to share the pitied; there is some one for every way find just the one best suited to the chance we take when we sell is the divorce court, but only as we have taken one of these hires to be all and more than we anticipate living; faults are found by eat out love minimizes them until the age and as we drift down the street to mar the course that leads a writer who declared that "all manness was fortunate in his choice of side to this marriage questionation at least of them were made woman who marries for any other to rue it. Today we have too many girls marry simply from the young men are as bad in their suit of such alliances? Why home—a place to eat, to sleep and the husband and wife finding not outside pleasures—not together is same. Girls at a certain age are and erratic, but their mothers are reasonable, be firm and decided. Aows the council and advice of its be seen the unfortunates who are marriages." Look well before you "IN THE SPRING A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY LIGHTLY TURNS TO THOUGHTS OF LOVE," says the poet. In the spring and especially in the month of June the marriage market flourishes. Everything and everybody seem to take a new lease on life as the warm weather approaches. A man or woman who goes through life without a partner to share their joys and sorrows is indeed to be pitied; there is some one for every one somewhere. We do not always find just the one best suited to us, that is the gamble of life, the chance we take when we select any life partner; and then there is the divorce court, but only as a last resort. Let us presume that we have taken one of these hundred to one shots and found her to be all and more than we anticipated, life is indeed then worth the living; faults are found by each in each, for no one is perfect, but love minimizes them until they are so small they cease to irritate and as we drift down the stream of life there is scarcely a ripple to mar the course that leads to the final landing place. The writer who declared that "all marriages are made in heaven" doubtless was fortunate in his choice of a life partner, for there is another side to this marriage question that lead some to think that a portion at least of them were made in the other place. The man or woman who marries for any other reason except love usually lives to rue it. Today we have too many marriages for convenience, too many girls marry simply from the financial point of view, and the young men are as bad in their search for heiresses. What is the result of such alliances? Why home then only becomes a halfway place—a place to eat, to sleep and to change your clothes in. The husband and wife finding nothing congenial in each other seek outside pleasures—not together but singly; the end is ever the same. Girls at a certain age are said to be foolish, impressionable and erratic, but their mothers and fathers should, while being reasonable, be firm and decided. A child seldom goes wrong who follows the council and advice of its parents. Here and everywhere can be seen the unfortunates who are paying the price of "bargain marriages." Look well before you leap as the well might be deep. THE TEST. IVE THOUSAND OF THE CITY to reside on the South Side, and not ordered on the north by Twenty- and street, on the east by the lake and set.

The perhaps through no better means cowcomers than through the church conditions as they exist in this city regations that they cannot lead as we are all judged by the action FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND OF THE 60,000 Afro-Americans in Chicago reside on the South Side, and most of these are in the district bordered on the north by Twenty-sixth street, on the west by Federal street, on the east by the lake and on the south by Sixty-third street. Along State street can be found nearly every line of business conducted and conducted successfully by race people. That is why, perhaps, Chicago has the reputation of offering the largest opportunity of any city in the North. And unfortunately that reputation works more harm than good to the older residents. For each year from the South comes hundreds who have heard of this haven, who, instead of going slow and learning the Northern ways, sail right in where angels fear to tread, and undo all the good that has been done. As was recited in a previous article, mistaking privileges for rights. The result of which is self-evident. Perhaps through no better means could this be brought home to the newcomers than through the churches. Our pastors knowing the conditions as they exist in this city should impress it upon their congregations that they cannot lead a too exemplary life, for unfortunately we are all judged by the actions of the few. NERO PUT TO SHAME THE SAM IS SO ANXIOUS to find where they are lynching and be lunge this country into a damn fire.

You let God's people go, or me in the East and annihilate this man his greed for gold suffer them to fall in the hands of the Bleb. Will you let us? We await your a IF UNCLE SAM IS SO ANXIOUS to fight, why not take up the South, where they are lynching and burning men at the stake. Why plunge this country into a damnable war because a few sailors were arrested in Mexico, when in the first year of his reign President Wilson has stood by with his mouth closed along with the CHURCH OF GOD, laughing, as it were, at the writhing bodies of over 2,000 black skinned men, trying to make the world believe that this is a GOD-FEARING NATION. Pharao! Oh, Pharao! will you let God's people go, or must He be forced to bring men from the East and annihilate this nation? Or will he (Uncle Sam) in his greed for gold suffer the foundation of this modern Rome to fall in the hands of the Plebians. We want to be your alli; will you let us? We await your answer. BEG PARDON for bringing forth so many "solutions" but as they come to us unsolicited we feel it our solemn duty not to let our light hide under a bushel basket. This time it is Walter F. Wilcox, a Cornell professor who was chief statistician of the twelfth census and is now a special agent of the census bureau, who says the Negro problem is solving itself in this country because of the increasing death rate among the race and a rapidly decreasing birth rate in comparison with an increasing birth rate among the whites. Of course if you don't believe it that's your lookout, we've done our duty. IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE CROWDS hereafter the Amateur Minstrel Club will have to hire the Seventh Regiment Armory or some hall equally as large. The Old Folks Home, for which the entertainment Easter Monday night was given, will undoubtedly receive a neat sum to help carry on the worthy work. This is a charity that should receive the loyal support of every citizen. And the young men who each year devote their time, energy and money to making these events successful deserve the highest praise and commendation. UNCLE SAM IS COMMENCING TO GET SERIOUS over the Mexican squabble, and without getting too personal it is noted that many of the brave Eighth Regiment boys when asked how they are feeling reply "tolerable." N. B.—Only physically strong soldiers are needed in the army when in action. RECENTLY AN UNFORTUNATE in Louisiana, accused of assaulting a white man, received the usual punishment meted out down there. And the local paper said: "There was no danger of a race war as the Negroes were satisfied." The kind of a Negro satisfied with such treatment is not fit for American citizenship. BALTIMORE IS STILL ATTEMPTING to pass a "Jim Crow" street car law and the branch of the N. A. A. C. P. located there is doing effective work in an effort to defeat the passage of this discriminating law. Baltimore is attempting to keep in the limelight at any cost. JUDGE T. C. W. ELLIS, senior judge of the civil district court of New Orleans, adjourned his court for two days, that he might go to the dying bedside of his old "mammy." Not every Southerner has a heart of stone. AND NOW EVERY ONE IS WONDERING what particular part Cary G. Lewis played in the minstrels? That's easy; he was blacked up and occupied a chair. For further particulars see news columns, page 4-11-44. THE BUSINESS MEN along the "Stroll" are contemplating another Street Fair during the month of August on a little different plan than the one held last. As Matt Marshall the comedian would say, "It can be did." NOT ALL AFRO-AMERICAN BALL TEAMS are "Giants" as usually supposed. Here is one in a little Ohio town called "The Pekin Specials." So there.

A policeman told me it was a violation of the law to throw the peels on the sidewalk. Will you please inform me as to what law he had reference? No person shall throw, cast, lay or place on any sidewalk in the city the rind or peel of any orange, banana, apple or other fruit, under a penalty of not less than two dollars nor more than twenty dollars for each offence.—Chicago Code 1911, Sec. 2042. Hats Off In Public Places. April 4.—Defender Legal Helps: I was sitting on the rear seat in a theater and was asked to remove my hat, which I refused to do, as that was my reason for selecting the rear seat—to keep my hat on. I was told that I was violating the law in keeping my hat on in the theater, although I was not obstructing the view of anyone. Now I wish to know is there any law requiring one to remove his hat while in theaters, or is it some rule of the management? No person shall wear any hat or bonnet within any licensed theater in the city during any part of the time of performance, or during any part of the rendition of any program on the stage or platform; but every such hat or bonnet shall be removed from the head during the entire time of such program or performance; provided, however, that the above inhibitions shall not be held to include skull caps, lace coverings or other small and closely fitting head dress which interfere with the view of the stage of persons in the rear of such wearer. A fine of not less than three dollars and not more than five dollars may be imposed for violation of the above section of the Chicago Code 1911, Sec. 1992. Goose Killed With a Golf Ball.

G., Hard at Work to Make Annual Ball a Success. The third of the meetings of the newly-organized Eighth Regiment Citizens' Committee was held last Sunday in the parlors of the Appomattox Club. This organization is the outgrowth of an invitation extended on behalf of the regiment by Colonel Franklin A. Denison inviting the citizens to take a proper relation in connection with this organization of soldiers. It has long been plain to Colonel Denison that the citizens had not heretofore fully realized that there was a common interest on the part of soldier and civilian alike in the success or failure of the regiment, and one of the first things he did after being elected to command was to determine to bring about such an organization of citizens as has responded to his invitation. The committee numbers more than 100 and is composed of a fine representation of the substantial citizens of the community. The present work of this committee is to perfect such plans as will assure a success at the annual May ball. May 25, at the Seventh Regiment Armory, at which time medals will be presented for efficiency in marksmanship and long and honorable service. Meetings will be held each Sunday at the Appomattox Club until all plans are fully perfected for the May 25 entertainment and thereafter a more permanent arrangement will be made to keep in active operation KEEP HEALTHY.

BOARD OF HEALTH NOTES Germs in Frozen Food.—It is well understood that a high temperature of heat, boiling or more, destroys the germs of disease. But as to the effect of cold on bacteria there has been some diversity of opinion, some contending that a freezing temperature was destructive of germ life, while others held to the opposite view. Recently, however, experiments in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology would seem to settle the matter by showing that, while bacteria cannot survive continued exposure to a high degree of heat, a low temperature only preserves them in a dormant state, from which they become unusually active on being placed in a warmer temperature best suited to their growth and multiplication. The report says that frozen foods—such as ice cream, sherbets, milk and egg mixtures—favor the existence of the harmful bacteria at low temperature, not because they are foods, but apparently because they furnish the physical conditions that are somehow protective to the bacteria. It seems likely that water-bearing food materials as well as sugar solutions, etc., freeze in such a way that most of the bacteria are not crushed or injured, while in the more purely water suspensions—and, above all, in water itself, in which the whole mass becomes solidly crystallized—they are usually destroyed. This, it is claimed, accounts for the absence of live bacteria in clear ice and their abundance in "snow ice" or "bubble ice." Among other discoveries made it was found that the bacillus coli, or the typhoid germs, remained alive in ice cream, sherbets and other things of like nature for many months. From this it is easy to see that ice cream, sherbets, frozen puddings, etc., made from either polluted milk, cream or water, are just as dangerous as if they had not been frozen; and unless we know that all such food produc have been made from clean, pur material, we should not use them all. If you have a baby in the home at the mother is not able to nurse it which means that it must be bat fed—then you should get the very milk that you can afford. It is a important that the milk be given as pululous care from the minute it is livered in your home until used. should be kept clean and cold, and feeding bottle and nipple should thoroughly sterilized by boiling after each using. Keep the milk bottle always tightly covered and do not place it in the ice chest along with other foods. If possible have a separate place for it in the ice chest. The point is that if you can keep the baby's milk clean and safe you will be able also to keep the baby well and strong. The department of health also has a little booklet on the care of the baby which will be sent upon request. If any language other than English is desired it should be so stated in the request.
