THOMAS CHURCH ON TOP Porters in Reply Declare That It Is Impossible to Be Affable When Working Without Proper Food and Sleep and Endeavoring to Overcome Adverse Conditions That Company Should Care For. The Pullman Company, one of the richest corporations in America, is now carrying on a series of lectures to its porters in all districts with a view of getting better service from the porters, securing their co-operation in making it pleasanter for the traveling public, giving them better service, thereby helping the company and themselves. The Wabash Avenue Young Men's Christian Association, 38th and Wabash avenue, has been the meeting place for the Chicago district. For three days during this and last week, the main auditorium has been packed with employees to hear addresses and lectures on various subjects pertaining to the work of the Pullman porter and to discuss plans whereby both porter, public and company will be benefited.

Davis, chief service inspector, was interviewed by a Chicago Defender reporter on Monday after the meeting. Mr. Davis very cordially received the representative in the private office of the secretary of the association. Mr. Davis said that the aim of these meetings was to give the public better service, to help make the porter more efficient and more affable in his dealings with the public, to get him to render better service to the company and himself. He said that too many complaints were being made by the public and that it was up to the porter to study conditions and help eradicate the unfavorable criticisms that were piled up against him. He said that his worth to the company would be measured in proportion to his service to the traveling public. "We are after helping the porter to discard that grouch he wears and put on a smile that won't come off," said Mr. Davis. Over 300 porters attended the meeting. There was a monster meeting held on Tuesday of this week. Among those present were Mr. Richard Drau, general manager; I. S. Hemgerford, general superintendent; Mr. J. A. Davis, W. H. Waite, Mr. A. W. Giltzaw, Mr. J. P. Leach and Mr. C. C. Cox. Mr. Leach was the principal speaker. Mr. Leach spoke for the Pullman Company. He had many hints and suggestions to offer and wound up with some valuable advice. The tenor of his remarks was that quite a number of foreigners travel in this country. That in other countries they are allowed to carry their baggage and (Continued on page 7.) REV. DEMBY AND WIFE STOPPING AT CARTER VILLA. Rev. E.

Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY This map shows the location of the battle on which depends the fate of France. The outcome of the German advance of probably half a million men will determine whether the war will be fought out on German or French soil. If the Kaiser's forces break through this line, the French will face the desperate task of preventing their progress to Paris. If, on the other hand, the Germans are driven back, the French and their allies will take the aggressive, and the next story of the war will be the investment of Metz, Strassburg and the other Teutonic strongholds that must be taken before there is any serious meaning to the battle cry, "On to Berlin!" The first day's fighting in France apparently ended in a German withdrawal to the border. MISS CAMPBELL BACK. FORD AUTO COMPANY PAYS EMPLOYES LIVING WAGES Large Manufacturing Concern Gives Employment to All Races-Janitors Receive $5.20 Per Day. In these trying times of business stringency, when even the price of foodstuff has reached the highest retail price, the result of the European war, it is pleasant to hear a little of the bright side of life. Discussion of the present conditions of working people among some business men the other day brought out the fact that the Ford Automobile Company was one of the few large concerns that was paying its employees living wages. Men of all nationalities are on their payrolls. In their factory in Detroit many skilled Afro-American mechanics are employed, earning from $10.00 to $18.00 per day, while the smallest paid employees are the janitors, both in Chicago and Detroit, and they receive $5.20 per day. The plan of paying living wages is a good one, and the large employing companies will benefit, as they do, if they follow the Ford Company. DEATH OF LEO POL-D GREEN. Springfield, Ill., Aug. 14.—(Special.) —Leopold H. Green died at his residence in this city Saturday, Aug. 8th.

In addition to the cares of managing the race's greatest aggregation of baseball players, Rube Foster is troubled over the loss of $600 which the pitcher-manager says was taken from his pockets while riding on a street car. According to his complaint to the police, he and twenty-five ball players were on a Madison street car Saturday, when he discovered that a pick-pocket had relieved him of this large sum of money. Detectives were sent out at once to round up all of the light-fingered gentry, but when seen on Tuesday the leader of the American Giants was still bemoaning the loss of his money. DR. H.

London, England, Aug. 14.—A great honor came to an Afro-American here today when Dr. H. Reginald Smith of Chicago, Ill., was appointed junior assistant to Dr. Coats and Dr. Hepburn of the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital. Dr. Smith came to this institution the first of the spring for research work, and showed so much advancement and preparation that his ability was soon recognized, and he was given the place named. When Dr. Robert J. Bland, secretary of the hospital, notified Dr. Smith he courteously accepted and proceeded with his work. Dr. Smith has made an excellent record here.

Washington, Aug. 14.—Even in the tremendous clash of arms that embroils all Europe, and the mighty toll of death, of suffering and devastation, "it is an ill wind that blows nobody good," becomes impressive. For years European immigrants have been flocking to this country, many of whom either brought with them prejudices against the Afro-American, or quickly imbibed it on reaching these shores, and all of whom strove to elbow the Afro-American from labor and occupations at which he formerly labored. For several years the Department of Commerce and Labor has been importunted to divert the hegira of foreign immigrants from northern and western states, where they had already displaced race labor, to the southern states where the great Afro-American population resides. While this has not been realized to the extent desired by the sponsors, yet the natives of Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, Greece and the Slavonic countries have been moving south in increasing numbers each year. This European war will return thousands of them back to their native countries, and will for a season, of necessity, stop immigration to this country, thus again returning the Afro-American to occupations and labor at remunerative wages, in which he was formerly engaged before Europe began sending her hundreds of thousands here annually. Amazing Number of Foreigners. It is interesting to contemplate how heavily this contest between the triple alliance and triple entente may draw upon the United States for fighting men, and thereby make room for the employment of native Americans. In 1910 there were 1,174,973 Austrians and 495,609 Hungarians in this country, an increase of the former over the number registered a decade previous of 162.3 per cent, and an increase of the latter of 240.1 per cent. This is a total of 1,670,582 subjects of the dual government—Austria-Hungary in this country. Of this number 334,126 are men of fighting age, who might respond to their country's call to return to bear arms in its defense. There are 4,639 Servians, 5,377 Montenegrans and 101,282 Greeks in this country, making a total of 111,298 people whose sympathies are with the Slavonic races in this great conflict. Of these 22,259 are men of fighting age. This makes a total of 356,395 men of fighting age who might respond to the call for home defense, (Continued on page 7.) JACK JOHNSON'S BOND IS NOT FORFEITED Federal Judge Geiger Grants His Attorney Twenty Days' Continuance on Account of the War. The state of war which exists throughout Europe prevented Champion Jack Johnson from appearing before Federal Judge Geiger last Thursday in answer to an order for the filing of a new bond of $15,000 pending disposition of his case under the Mann act. Judge Geiger continued the case for twenty days after Benjamin Bachrach, Johnson's attorney, had explained the reason of his non-appearance. A new bond will have to be given at that time or the old bond will be forfeited.

On Aug. 6, Charles Copeland a young Afro-American, and Mabel Copeland, his wife, a young white woman, together with four other persons of color, went into the cafe at 346-8 East 35th street, run by Harry H. Boger, under the name of The Chateau, to be served. They were refused first by the waiter, Robert Johnson, and then by the manager, S. D. Williamson, and finally the proprietor was called, Harry H. Boger, who not only refused to serve the party, but announced as his reason that he had had instructions from the police department not to serve mixed couples in his cafe and the entire party was compelled to go out unserved in painful humiliation. Mr. Copeland applied at the police station at 35th and Halsted for warrants and was referred to the state's attorney's office, where his complaint was promptly K. O. k and returned to the station. Judge Courtney issued warrants for the arrest of Harry H. Boger, S. D. Williamson, and Robert Johnson. Messrs. Boger and Williamson were arrested and gave bond for their appearance in the sum of $500 each. The case came up on Wednesday and was continued until Aug. 19 to give further opportunity to catch Johnson. One of the features of the case is that Boger is an Afro-American. Race Prejudice Increases. Many claim Roger's action an insult to the Afro-Americans of Chicago and a splendid illustration of how insidious and baleful are the blighting influences of race prejudice and the extent to which race discrimination is fastening itself upon the Chicago community.

Race prejudice has so increased in Chicago that not only are Afro-Americans in increasing numbers refused the accommodations of cafes, hotels, restaurants and other public places on account of race and color, in open and impudent violation of the letter and spirit of the civil rights laws of the state of Illinois, but the functions of government and the police power of the city are being used to force and intimidate business men to discriminate against their own race in order to get along with the police. White Men Do As They Please. Every night white men infest the streets where Afro-Americans live, follow and hound the wives and daughters of some of the best families, with indecent and insulting assaults. Against these white debauchees the people appeal to the law and the courts in vain for redress. The decisions of some of the judges give the people to understand that any Afro-American woman is subject to the unsatisfied and unbridled lust of immoral white men. White men walk with Afro-American women on the streets and eat and drink with them in the cafes and restaurants and commit all manner of vice and immorality in the alleys and assignation houses. But no instructions are given to arrest white men for being in company and vice with Afro-American women. No heavy and excessive fines are imposed upon these immune and immoral Caucasian sons, when perchance they are brought in now and then more from accident than design. The situation is becoming intolerable. Police officers have the effronter to order Afro-Americans arrested for talking to white women in plain violation of the rights of the citizen. These same officers give instructions to Afro-American owners of cafes not to serve mixed couples in their places of business. Martha Mullen.

Prerogative of Suffering Every tragedy in the home circle, every hour of agony through which you pass, every wrong that you must endure in silence—for there is no redress upon this side of the grave—is not purposeless or accidental.

WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS TALKS ON Preventative Measures First Aid Remedies Hygienics and Sanitation NOCASSES DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTION GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY CARTOONS THE CHICAGO DEFENDER F Tragedies. SINGLE, DOUBLE AND TRIPLE.—There are certain diseases that are followed by certain well known (to the medical men) dire tragedies. Therefore, our reason for writing on this subject is to bring the matter plainly and vividly to the attention of the readers of this column, with the hope that our readers and friends being hereby forewarned, may be able to avoid being caught, or if caught, that they may be able to escape the tragedy or tragedies that will certainly overtake and engulf the unenlightened on these tragedies. Meaning of Tragical Disease. We all know that a tragedy as generally understood, is that which has a fatal or murderous ending. Now, certain diseases terminate in health, or in impaired health and others terminate in mild suffering or in death. Then, there are other discourses that have their tragical endings—not only of the individual, but, they have double tragedies and some have triple tragedies. Among the single tragedies we will mention a case of well developed, virulent form of appendicitis, which without the assistance of the surgeon or medical man is most likely to have a fatal ending. This is also true of cancer—its final ending—a single tragedy. Double Tragedies Consumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever, etc., are diseases that are easily transmitted from one person to another. In other words, the disease is transmitted from the first to the second person, but not necessarily, directly from the first person through the second person, as in certain other diseases which we will mention later. For example, if you have diphtheria or scarlet fever, and another person or child is brought in contact with this disease with any degree of susceptibility, this second person is most likely to contract this disease. Consumption For example, in a case of lung consumption, a careless person living in close and long contact with a consumptive is very likely to contract consumption, which, without proper medical guidance, ends in a tragedy. But, we all believe that consumption is a preventable disease and if taken in its early stage, with a proper and intelligent medical guidance, is curable in a vast majority of cases. Triple Tragedies—Gonorrhea and Syphilis. Gonorrhea and syphilis are two diseases that are followed in their final results by three terrible tragedies. I wish that every young man who contemplates marrying, and that every young lady who is thinking seriously of giving up the comforts of her parental home, the love and protection of her devoted mother and father, would stop, take time to think seriously over what is written herein concerning these two tragic diseases and be wise; that they would adopt MILWAUKEE, WIS.

The wife having been infected by the father, infects the newly-born child before or just at the time when it enters this world, resulting possibly in the permanent blindness of the child (triple tragedy). And as a final result of this triple tragedy, we have blind child, a sterile, or invalid mother, a cripple and diseased father. SYPHILIS, too, has its triple tragedies, and if possible, its tragedies are worse than those of gonorrhea. A syphilitic father infects an innocent, pure wife (the father may be innocent of the nature of his trouble), but the results are the same (double tragedy). Thus the infected father begets a syphilitic child (triple tragedy). As a final result of this triple tragedy in many cases, we have death of the child, long suffering and permanent invalidism or death of the mother, and in the father paralysis, locomotor ataxia, invalidism—he is permanently handicapped throughout life, or he may be suddenly stricken with what is called apoplexy, short suffering and death. It is up to you, my friend, to get wise and avoid these tragedies, especially in the double and triple tragedies. All this on our part is purely a labor of love given with the fond hope of being able to assist in dispelling the dense fog of ignorance, and to enlighten and broaden the horizon of the readers of this paper on the cause and prevention of these tragedies of our physical being that so handicap and limit our efficiency. Postpone Wedding. Mr. R. S. W. writes: I am engaged to the sweetest and prettiest girl in all the world. We are to be married this fall. Last Easter Monday night I went out with the boys for a little fun. I fear that I have some blood disease. What would you advise me to do? I used a powder, which was given to me by a friend and healed up the sore. The date of our wedding is set. I am much worried. Reply: If you are engaged to the sweetest girl in all the world than you should not have gone out for a little fun on last Easter Monday. You are now "Damaged Goods." Did you go to see the play, "Damaged Goods"? What would you have thought of her going out in like manner? Why not be fair? Would advise you to posephe your wedding indefinitely, or at least for two years. You should have a Wasserman blood test made, and if found positive, undergo a course of treatment for not less than two years. Mrs. Dan Horton and Mrs. B.

Later he edited a little paper called "All About It." He was born in Memphis, Tenn., and graduated from Knoxville College. Finding that it was hard to make a living wage and being light in color, he opened a printing shop in the loop district and passed for white. He made money, enjoyed the pleasures of the hotels and places of amusement. His father was a white Southern gentleman. Rollings was not to blame. He came to the South Side at night and only mixed with a few friends. His funeral was held at Jackson's parlor. Only six friends were at the funeral. His death came suddenly, being run over by an auto truck in the loop district. Mobs of Inhuman "Crackers" Satisfy Blood Lust by Lynching Four Afro-Americans Whose Offense Against the Law (?)

Bowling preached from St. Mark 3: 106: "For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" He drew vivid lessons from the civilizations of the world, showing that it is greed for gain versus spiritual development, materialism versus idealism, worldly success versus the religion of Jesus Christ that is the base of the present disturbance in the world. The sermon was logical, forceful and replete with Biblical illustrations; the hand of God was shown to be above every event in human history; faith simple and absolute, was offered as a means of salvation. In the absence of the beloved pastor, this eloquent young preacher who was left in charge conducted the services admirably and well.

In lieu of a sermon at the 8 o'clock service, our gospel choir of forty voices, of which Mrs. Tennau Brown is president and Mr. L. B.

RACE PROSPERS IN AUSTIN,TEXAS CAPITOL CITY Makes Creditable Showing in Business—Has Two Colleges—Supports Twenty-One Churches, But Has No Lawyer. REORGANIZE LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. Citizens Find Need of Co-operation—State Institution for Blind, Deaf and Dumb Doing Good Work for Unfortunates. By Ralph W. Tyler; Austin, Tex., Aug. 14.—This is Texas capital. So many are the hills here, it might be said, as it was of Rome, that Austin is built upon seven hills. Austin is a pretty and orderly city of 35,000 population, 11,000 of which are Afro-Americans. The two race colleges here, with the splendid public schools, in so far as the race is concerned, makes Austin a typical college town, and filtrates through the race community culture and moral purity not always found in cities of this size. Under President Lovinggood, the M. E. college here is doing a wonderful work, and its president is thoroughly in touch with and active in every movement which has for its object greater progress for the race. Austin, in so far as the race's population is concerned, is a religious city. This is shown by its support of twenty-one churches. But while the race in Austin believes in laying up treasures in heaven where thieves do not break in, etc., they are some that inclined to the belief that treasures laid up on here on earth become a pretty solitary asset pending our race from breaking in. A transition which few "live ones" are in a hurry for. This is shown in the fact that business men of the race here have $25,000 invested in business enterprises; that real estate owned by the race here approximates $300,000 in value, and that $30,000 in cash lies in the vaults of the banks of this city deposited to the credit of men and the race. It would appear by this that the race in Austin is willing to lay up, and take chances on thieves breaking in, and moth-corrupting and rust-corrupting treasures. One of the largest grocery stores in the country, conducted by men of the race, is the one here conducted by L. D. Lyons, a perfectly live factor in every movement conceived for the betterment of race conditions. Ideally Attractive City. In many things Austin is an ideally attractive little city—the air of culture, the thirst for education, and the hospitality of its people is such as to compel one to linger here, and impel a regret at leaving. Austin's material progress, while complimentary, has not been of that aggressive stripe characteristic of some other cities, and this because Austin had no live, active business organization. Success here, heretofore, has been individual. Awakening to the fact that co-operative success is most vital to race advancement, Austin Afro-Americans have reorganized its business league, offering it with earnest, capable men, and with earnest, enthusiastic men composing its membership. In talking with a number of the real factors in racial advancement here, I learned that they now realize that there are many things which Austin controlled but have not controlled by men and women of the race, and that earnest efforts should be made to encourage the race to patronize race enterprises. The recently reorganized business league here will—and has already begun—start a business revival. City Has No Lawyer. Afro-American homes and churches are attractive, commodious, and evince commendable civic pride by the manner in which they are beautified and kept up. The interest the race takes in the property possessed by it, in beautifying it and keeping it in repair, and the energy displayed in better citizenship and in education no doubt is most responsible for the helpful entente existing here between the two races. Austin has the maximum of desirable citizens, and the minimum of the undesirable. One of the finest race high schools in all the country is to be found here. It is a splendid fire-proof building, with an unusually large campus. The equipment is complete, the Austin school board being quite liberal in appropriating for the building and equipment of this school. There is a total of six public schools here for children of the race. Prof. L. C. Anderson, one of the best known educators in the south, is principal of the high school here, and practically the head of the schools, and his effective work is seen in the results—fine results which follow. There are three physicians here, two dentists and two pharmacists; they own no lawyery business, yet have a single city, and I do not see why one should not succeed here. Two drug stores, undertaking, printing, furniture store, painting, carpentry and stone contracting, transfer business, blacksmithing, grocery stores and truck gardening are some of the business activities in which the race is engaged here. W. M. Tears, L. D. Lyon, J. J. Jennings, J. H. Stewart, President Lovinggood, A. B. Fairbanks, H. Brown, G. W. Norman are among some of the men who are active in making Austin an ideal city. State Cares for Blind. The state institution for the blind, deaf and dumb of the race is located here. It is a commodious building, with well-built shops about, and the street is lined with shops, earnest, but they are efficient in the work of training these unfortunate of the race. This institution is one of the most interesting points in Austin. I found that what is true of most Texas cities is characteristic of the race here, namely, they lose no time devoted to complaining, but use every hour in the day, and every minute in the hour, endeavoring to overcome adverse conditions. That they are succeeding is shown by the fact of their increasing reality possessions, their extended and diversified business activities, their improved, and improving, schools, and the natural resultant—a far better comity between the races. Another thing that is the race in Texas and throughout all the states that lazy, shiftless and immoral and humoral of the race down here are rapidly migrating to the big cities of the north, for the busy bee down here will not tolerate the drone. The leaving of this lazy, shiftless, immoral contingent makes conditions better for the race here, while proportionately making them graver for the race in the northern cities in which this undesirable class locates. PROFESSOR CHERRY ADDRESSES TEXAS FELLOWSHIP CLUB Chicago University Official is Speaker at Banquet Tendered Club by Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Nash—Gov. Colquitt Sends Letter. The Texas Fellowship Club continues to make progress. The meeting Sunday evening, Aug. 9, was perhaps the most remarkable one in its history. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Nash, 5425 Dearborn street, entertained in very elaborate style. There were present about sixty-five persons, most of whom belonged in the "urban State." After the regular order had been passed, Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Eggleston delighted the assemblage with music and song, Prof. Cherry of the Chicago University spoke on "The New South." His address was joyously received. Letter from Gov. Colquitt. Some weeks ago the club sent a letter thanking Gov. Colquitt for his noble consideration in freeing forty Afro-American from the state penitentiary, and signed by prominent citizens of Chicago, who are members of the club. His letter was as follows: Governor's Office. Austin, Tex., July 9, 1914. Dr. M. A. Majors, 4709 State St., Chicago, Ill.: Dear Sir—I am directed by the Governor to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 20, which is also signed by a number of others, thanking him for his action in extending clemency to a number of Negroes on the 19th of June. Governor Colquitt has tried very hard to improve conditions in our state penitentiary, and where he has found worthy men on the inside he has tried to give them a chance to make good on the outside. Club's Good Work. During the life of the club, which is not quite a year old, it has contributed money to colleges in the South, paid a fitting tribute to Colonel Franklin A. Denson on his merited promotion to the head of the Eighth Infantry, J. N. G. In the presentation of a gold medal with Tiffany diamond setting. They have sent money to sick members and sent letters to senators, congressmen and governors in the interest of the race. Tuesday, August 8, the club will give a reception to visiting Texas teachers and strangers at the Carter villa. MRS. FRANK E. TURNER'S SHOE. SHINING PARLOR. Among the women of Chicago to engage in business recently is Mrs. Frank E. Turner, née Bessie L.

They motored in, that is, Charles was the passenger while "Gladys," or, to be more precise, Mrs. Reese, was the driver.

Mr. Reese heard that his mother was ill but he found her much better.

Aims of the Society. The Negro Organization Society was organized in 1909 with the aim "to confederate all of the organizations of the race in this state and to focus attention upon the single purpose of improving the health, intelligence, and morals of the race, to fill the same place in the state on the part of the Colored people that the Co-operative Education Commission fills on the part of the whites." Its motto is: "Better schools, better health, better homes, better farm." Churches, associations, business and educational leagues, fraternal societies and individuals make up its membership. In November, 1913, the first annual session of the Negro Organization Society was held in Richmond for two days and was most enthusiastic. The society was welcomed to the city by Mayor George Alnseis and at the final meeting in the City Auditorium Governor William Hodges Mann was the chief speaker. The Officers. The president of the society is Major Robert R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute. The executive secretary is John M. Gandy, of the Petersburg Normal School, who last year traveled 11,000 miles and delivered 122 addresses on the subject of "Co-operation for Better Health and Better Education." The treasurer of the society is Allen Washington, of Hampton Institute. What the Society Has Done. The work of the society has been especially for school through the organization of improvement classes, the arousing of enthusiasm by lectures, and the actual raising of money for new and improved school houses; and the improvement of health and sanitation among the people through lectures, the distribution of health pamphlets, and the agitation for the observance of "clean-up day" in 1913 and "clean-up week" in 1914.

Effort is the watchword of the committees and sub-committees of N. A. A. C. P. summer tent festival from now on until the 30th of August, and this is the word that these committees wish to instill into every man and woman who has any interest in greater freedom and justice for himself and family. Effort is our watchword and effort must be yours if we are to make dreams into realities. And so the N. A. A. C. P. calls upon every individual for manifested interest. Of course you are interested. We know that if only in a curious sort of way, to see just what can be done, but you, and you, and you, must bestly yourself more than that. Let no one allow this campaign to pass without contributing some personal assistance toward its success. Give of your time, your money, your advertising ability; this is your affair, don't you want to see it work into a splendid achievement? We, the people of Chicago, are proud. Proud of our homes, of our successes, our advancements and opportunities. Proud that the things we plan are ably carried to fruition. Can you then as an individual afford to give less than your best interest to the success of the N. A. A. C. P. festival? Can you afford to allow the slightest chance to exist that the adjustment bureau this winter will not be a fact? This movement means a greater outlook, a forward step for every girl and boy in untold generations. The markm of all interest is service. We cannot have if we do not serve. We cannot prove our position or attitude toward and line of action unless we serve it for us. Don't depend on the other man's ability to make the N. A. A. C. P. festival a success, but you yourself dig right in and help assure the impossibility of failure. During the next 20 days members of various committees will visit your office, your store, your home, asking you to manifest your interest in this our common cause by some personal gift and then if possible they represent a way out of the difficulty of prejudice. The affair planned is large and expensive, the cause is good and the effort great. The achievement must meet every expectation that the N. A. of this city may be better prepared to go with its plans. We know that you each and all believe it, want to see its success, are willing to work toward race advancement. We know that the problems of the day bruise and puzzle you and that you wish a betterment. Will you please prove it? UNION CITY, TENN.

IT'S TIME TO BANK YOUR SAVINGS IN MOTHER The Chicago Tribune, on July 5, 1914, in answering an inquiry concerning the relative value of various forms of investment, said: "A small residence, in which you and your family would live, is the best investment of all." This advice is particularly vital right now. Bonds and stocks are in bad condition. Banks have been going to smash. It is time to bank your savings in Mother Earth. Real estate is the best investment for small savings. More money is made from the rise in real estate values than all other causes combined. Chicago's largest real estate operators have a plan whereby you can start to be a home owner on a very small first payment. See Bartlett's "Ad" on the last page of this issue.

At the Grand Theater a good act with Miss Leona Marhell, the petite actress, sturring, assisted by that demon on droeller, Mr. Thomas Cross, as policeman Mat Marshall, and Bert Murphy as second porch climber, do fair, well, really good. They made Hunch a prominent detective, to their realities he said he would watch them off the stage, to see whether it was constant practice; but on the whole the act was really funny. They were the head liners. J. Berni Harbour, in a "Lump of Conl and a piano," got off some good jokes and played the piano in his own fashion that made him go big. Kennedy and Mac, eccentric comedians, and Lew Cantor, with his "Choo-Choo Girls," added pleasure to the evening's program. There was the usual Wednesday night cake walk. ON AND OFF THE STROLL By Columbus Bragg. Madame Alexander Bullett, one of Chicago's leading hostesses, has her mother, Mrs. Lena Goodlaw of Selma Ala., visiting her.

O. R. sign at the Monogram. Now on his third week at No. 2 house, packing them as of yore. Why doesn't Johnny run a theater just for himself and—you know Henry a solid scream. peculiar how fiction is stranger than truth. People look to that wooden doll, Henry, to laugh hearty. Best hit ever. Scott and Simmons, a neat, singing, dancing, chatter act. The Clarks, sharing headline honors CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Aug. 14.—At Bethel A. M. E. Church, Sunday, Rev.

Ugh! Miss Mildred McClayne, a popular hostess of Chicago, is entertaining, through the assistance of the writer, Madame Jane Butler, a very Bohemian lady, so superb in her hospitality. May she call again. Very much impressed with the Defender. Also the Stroll. Miss Henrietta Terrell, one of Chicago's most popular young ladies, has composed a decided hit in song and verse, called "Bleeding Heart," sung beautifully by Mr. Chas. Young of the Russell Cafe, the other night, and my own heart felt like bleeding. May she try her talents often, as the world loves a beautiful and logical song, especially when the music is so pretty. Mr. Oliver Perry, the violinist, is back at the popular Elite Cafe, leading that famous orchestra of his, with Tony Jackson doing piano solos and every once in a while Don Causby doing an irresistible feat with his traps, assisted some of the best entertainers known to Cabray cafes—Miss Caroline Lillison, Mr. Rivers, Miss Salle Lee Johnstone, the dollface girl; but it is some trio when it comes to singing, Very clever, those Eliters.

RACE A CLOSE ONE Trophy to Be Presented at the Carnival of the National Association for the Protection of Colored People Saturday Night, Aug. 29. Keeping abreast with the big dailies of the country, and taking the lead in publishing the latest and most reliable news, going into the best homes, presenting all the news of Chicago and from all parts of the world, the Chicago Defender in May past launched a campaign for the most popular girl in the country. This was done to give the fortunate young lady a diamond ring for receiving the honor and to increase the circulation of the Defender. It was the first time that a weekly paper ever started such a campaign and the moment it was launched votes came into the office in a surprising degree. ```markdown ``` Popular girls from the various sets, circles, clubs and Sunday schools soon found their names in the contest. Their friends got busy, bought Defenders, cut out the coupons, and mailed them to the office. When it was announced that 25 votes would be given to each contestant for every new subscriber, then the interest went skyward. The last week the office was crowded daily with friends casting votes for their favored friends in the contest. Last Saturday night at 8 o'clock was the last time to cast a vote or send in a coupon. The race was between Misses Irene McCoy, Irene Bruce, Cleo Mae Dickerson, Emilia Simms, Betolia Fortson, Lydia Scott and Katherine Williams. Miss Irene McCoy won. She made a gallant fight and so did the rest of the girls. Miss McCoy is a cultured and refined young girl. She is a graduate of Fisk University. Two years ago she won the prize at the Bethel Literary and has since written a number of other papers which bespoke of her excellent literary training. She is an expert stenographer. For quite awhile she was in the law office of Attorney Louis B. Anderson and with this experience, she took civil service examination for a stenographer. She made the highest average and was appointed. She is engaged to be married some time this fall. Miss McCoy will be presented the Defender diamond ring at the carnival, Aug. 28 and 29, given by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Defender wishes to thank every individual who took part in the contest and every friend who cast a vote.

EUROPEAN WAR WILL ABSORB MANY IMMIGRANTS (Continued from Page 1.) If the fighting had been confined alone between Austria-Hungary on the one hand, and Servia, Greece and Montenegro on the other. By far the larger per cent of the Austria-Hungarians, Slavs and Greeks in this country are employed in the mines and as laborers on construction work, from which they have crowded out the Afro-American. If but 10 per cent of these return home it would mean that 35,638 places had been vacated by foreigners that must, or may, be filled by men of our own race, if American industries are to continue. Truth in an Old Adage. With the triple entente drawn into the war—Russia, France and England united against the triple alliance—the number of foreigners of fighting age who may depart for their native countries is greatly increased. Germany, as a member of the triple alliance, is in the field fighting desperately and calling to her colors all reservists in this country. There are 62,559 Germans of fighting age in this country eligible for duty home, 2,644 Frenchmen of fighting age; 268,626 Italians of fighting age, and 10,132 Great Britain subjects of fighting age who have migrated to this country during the past ten years alone. If but 10 per cent of the Germans, French, Italians and English of fighting age returned home to take part in this war it would mean that 344,550 men would give up occupations which necessarily must be filled by native Americans to man American industries. If 10 per cent of the foreigners immigrating to this country during the past ten years, of fighting age, and natives of the several countries mentioned, were to return home, a grand total of 700,945 foreigners—men of fighting age and men who are employed at labor—the Afro-American might be employed, might leave our shores—some never to return, and most of them would be unable to return for years. In the meantime immigration to this country is stopped; the Afro-American will find greater opportunities for occupation, and it becomes true that "it is an ill wind that blows nobody good." Russian Jews Will Remain. While Russia has been pouring into this country a mighty stream of immigrants for years they are mostly Russian Jews who left that country to avoid persecution, and the restrictions and discriminations which our race suffers in this country. These, naturally, will not return to assist Russia, so the number of Russians in this country likely to return home to join their colors is so small as not to be worth mentioning. Not only have the immigrants from the foreign countries crowded the Afro-Americans out of mine and construction work, but they have crowded them out of most of the hotels and cafes and barber shops in the north, and the Italian immigrant especially has taken largely to the tilling of the soil, becoming truck gardeners, an occupation which might, and does, offer great opportunities for the Afro-American. It may now dawn upon the American manufacturer, the American captains of industry, and the American controller of commerce that the Afro-American is the most dependable laborer. He, at least, is not subject to be called across the seas to bear arms when some monarch of the old world would extend his power. NEW ALBANY MILL TO EMPLOY 500 HANDS Mills City Cotton Mills Company of Indiana Buys Ground for Building to Manufacture Rugs, Mops and Scrubbrushes. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) New Albany, Ind., Aug. 14.—A tract of ground 140x172 feet at Conner, Clark and Locust streets, New Albany, has been purchased for a factory site by the Mills City Cotton Mill Company of Indiana, which was recently incorporated with a capital stock of $50,000, of which half that sum has been paid in. Officers and directors of the company are: President, Henry T. Bain; first vice president, J. A. Wheatley; second vice president, J. C. Colbert; third vice president, Mrs. C. J. Walker; treasurer and manager, J. E. Wiley; secretary, Mrs. M. E. Washington; chief engineer, J. R. Alexander; superintendent, J. E. Wiley, Jr.; Mrs. Albert Wilhott, Misses Anna M. Bowen and Lucy E. Bowles. The new factory will have all the modern equipments, including an open court in the center, and will contain 15,000 feet of working space. There will be from 150 to 200 operatives, and the chief industry will be the manufacture of Merlin rugs. Also mops and scrub brushes for fanlors' use will be made from the by-products. For some time the plant has been operating in a portion of the old woolen mills on Vincennes street. EMANUELS ENTERTAIN Mrs. N. Clark Smith and Daughter Given Recital at Ogden Park. Mr. and Mrs. William Emanuel gave a delightful reception and musical Monday night, complimentary to Mrs. N. Clark Smith and daughter Anna of Wichita, Kan. It was held in the assembly hall, Ogden Park, Sixty-fifth street and Racine avenue. Those on the program were Mrs. Percy Ash, piano solo; Mr. Hugh Buchanan, Miss Anna Smith, Wichita, Kan.; Miss Olive Jones, Washington, D. C.; Harrison Emanuel and Madame Patti Brown. Each number was highly appreciated. Each artist received an encore. Miss Smith rendering a solo that showed training and culture. It was attended by one hundred or more fashionable and musical society people, who were charmingly gowned. Miss Jones of Washington deserves special mention. PARENTS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BIRTH RECORD Should Assist Officials in Keeping Data—Doctors Either Too Busy or Neglectful to Make Proper Registration, Is Claim. Parents, rather than physicians, should be made responsible for recording the births of babies in Chicago, in the opinion of County Clerk Robert M. Swetzer. To this end he has outlined some proposed legislation in a report he has made concerning birth registration in Cook county during the last seven years. He declares that the number of registrations still is considerably less than the number of births. "I intend to recommend the legislation to the next general assembly," he said yesterday. "Doctors usually are poor bookkeepers, and have little time to send in birth data. Under the law the doctor is required to file births within thirty days, but he often forgets or neglects to do so." Under Mr. Swetzer's plan all physicians would be furnished with printed post cards. Only the address where the birth took place would be inserted, and the card mailed to the county clerk immediately. These cards would be the basis for a "follow-up" system, parents being required to file other birth data within thirty days. THE GREAT BIG DEFENDER DARKTOWN FOLLIES HERE J. Lubrie Hill, Race's Great Comedian Opens Week's Engagement at Haymarket. J. Lubrie Hill and his big company of Darktown Follies, 1915, will open on Sunday at the Haymarket theater, 722 West Madison street. This is the show that made such a tremendous hit last year and recently on Broadway, New York. Mr. Hill has the honor to have written, staged, costumed "My Friend from Kentucky" and takes the leading part. The cast is comprised of prominent artists from every part of the world, embracing as it does Harper & Gillam, the world's funniest comedians; Gaines & Brown, Sallie Eydr Gillam, Even Robinson, Ada Guy, Abbie Mitchell, Toots Davis, Ethel Williams (daughter of Bert Williams), Mae Brown, Johnnie Peters and others of equal note; not overlooking a mulatto singing and dancing chorus unsurpassed by any group of choristers in the world. Every one of the twenty song hits introduced are presented in a manner that calls forth unlimited numbers of encores. HALF CENTURY CLUB TO GIVE GINGHAM PARTY The Half Century Club, our latest social organization, will, from all indications, play an important part in the social world this summer, as its "gingham party." which takes place on the 27th, will be, as far as we are able to learn, the only select affair where the visitors will have an opportunity of attending in numbers. This seems to be an off season socially in Chicago and it is well that we have such an organization as the Half Century, whose members were thoughtful enough in arranging their social program for the season to arrange some function by which our fair visitors would have an opportunity to enjoy and observe the status of our social affairs. The Half Century Club is indeed select, as it is the only if not the first club Chicago ever had with a limited membership. STATES ORCHESTRA The States Theater Orchestra is making quite a hit under the personal direction of Prof. E. W. Bailey. He is a graduate of Fisk University, musical department, and is a pianist of rare ability. During the week of the "Christian" his orchestra played such selections as Handel's "Largo." "The Holy City," "Bereuse" from ocylen, "Lost Chord" from Sultan, "Barcarolle" from the "Tales of Hoffman." The music from this high class orchestra is bringing large crowds to the house nightly, and Mr. Salker, a most enterprising manager, deserves congratulations for giving his deserving patrons the best orchestra on the "Stroll." It is composed of W. H. Means, trombone; Geo. Duff, cornet; J. S. Dockett, clarinet; Ed Williams, bass; Frank Tate, violinist; L. B. Bradshaw, drummer, and E. W. Bailey, pianist and director. Hear them; they are good. MRS. PENDLETON IN CITY Mrs. Ambrose Pendleton, Grand Rapids, Mich., thoroughly developed Defender fan, is in the city, a delegate to the Eastern Star convention and a guest of her sisters, one of whom is Mrs. Charles Hines, 3119 State street, proprietor of the Pullman cafe. Her brother, Mr. Mose Dawson, Seattle, Wash., en route for home, Harveysburg, O., stopped off for a week to visit sisters living in Chicago and Eraston before going to his boyhood haunts. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER. PULLMAN COMPANY LECTURES PORTERS (Continued from Page 1.) many want to do so in America. There is a rule in the Pullman Company that only a grip or suit case containing necessary traveling apparel may be carried and the other luggage must be checked, and that in enforcing this rule it is up to the porter to be polite, and show them courteous attention, even though they can't speak good English. Be of Service to the Conductor. Mr. Leach urged the porters to help the conductors in various ways, namely to see that they don't miss a ticket or lose money in any way. These little helps he said would reound to their credit. He said that it should always be a point with the porter to see that the drawing room, when not occupied, should be kept clean, well ventilated and ready for use. When it was not in use, to have the curtains down. One of the chief complaints at the office, he said, was that men would step upon the upholstery when raising and lowering beds and that a great deal of the linen was lost. Mr. Leach said that he wanted the porters merely to keep more in touch with the linen misplaced and report it, as it costs them nothing to do so. Use of Vacuum Cleaner and Lights. The company has installed the vacuum cleaner and the porters should learn how to use it, said the speaker. He gave instructions how to do this. He was very plain in his talk about too much extravagance in the use of electric lights. The question of awakening the passenger was discussed at length. He said that there was a time when the porter used to wake up the passengers at an early hour but now it is left to the passenger when he wants to arise. He urged them to be quiet, as no one liked a noisy porter around. Let Conductor Do the Fussing. If there is too much baggage occupying the space allotted a passenger, let the conductor do the talking, and if there is any fussing, it's up to him. Too often porters get into arguments that are not necessary. He told them of the sick benefits connected with the company and the month's salary given the porter who keeps up certain rules of the company for a year. Mr. Dean Speaks. Mr. Dean, general manager, one of the leading men connected with the company, was called upon and said he was pleased to come and talk to the men he had known for 30 years. "I have come to tell you that we will do our share toward building up this great business institution, but you, who are in direct touch with the public, can do more than we in the office. It's up to you men to represent us in public. I don't believe there is a larger company in the world that has a better set of men working for them than the Pullman porters, and we want to better conditions, and yourselves. These meetings are going to get us in closer touch with you and we can soon find out the needs, all we ask is a close co-operation." What Mr. Hungerford Said. Mr. Hungerford said "We want you to feel proud that you are a Pullman man. We want you to be a courteous and classy set of men. We want the Pullman company to go down as one of the most reliable companies in the world and you can help do this. I am sure these meetings will be a big success." The Porters' Side. After the speeches by th. officials, porters were called upon to state some of their grievances. While the company officials had many advice to give, the porters had many suggestions to make. It is a known fact that Pullman porters are some of the best educated men there are in the race. They are intelligent men, reason well, and their suggestions were good. He wanted this condition corrected. Another stated that a flagman was not supposed to ride in the smoking' room of a Pullman, where he would dirty the room up with cigar ashes and expectation, but that he did so and if he were turned up to the conductor that porter was black-listed. Other porters said they wanted better sleeping quarters and better provisions made for them to get their meals if the company wanted them to smile and be polite. WILLIAM KENARD KILLED IN SALOON BRAWL White Bartender Fires Two Shots Into Porter's Body, Who Dies On Way to Provident Hospital—Affray Causes Great Excitement. There was great excitement in the vicinity of 26th and State streets late last Saturday afternoon when Joseph Welss, white, 3405 Parnell avenue, bartender in Charles Holt's saloon, 2600 State street, shot William Kenard, the porter. Welss fired two shots at Kenard, who died in the police patrol on the way to Provident Hospital. The affray occurred in idle hours of the afternoon and drew a large throng of excited people. According to reports the two saloon employees got into an argument and the shooting followed. The victim resided at 3515 Wabash avenue. The coroner's inquest was held at King's undertaking establishment on Monday and Weiss was held to the grand jury. Hon. Edw. D. Green objected to the jury composed of six white men. The inquest attracted a great crowd and the case, will be watched with interest. THE VASSAR DANCING ACADEMY SEASON 1914-15. The opening is announced for Wednesday evening, Aug. 19, 1914.

TRAINED NURSES OFFER SERVICES TO FRANCE Afro-American Women to Go to France to Care for the Fallen in War. Graduate nurses of this city are to offer their service to the National Red Cross society for service in the European war, preferably the French army. Many of the graduates of Provident hospital are linguists and can be of great service to foreign countries, especially the French. Word has come here from New York City that nurses are needed badly and the young women of the race are going to respond to the call. One nurse who speaks three languages fluently said to a Defender reporter that "she was ready to go."

Avendorph met in a three-game championship series of 15-ball pool at the Appomattox Club, which proved very interesting, Mr. Avendorph winning the first game, Mr. Howard the second and Mr. Avendorph the third, Mr. Howard made his opponent look like a novice in the second game, but Mr. Avendorph showed with a little practice that he would soon play his game of former years. If you don't believe he could play some pool in those days ask Mr. Smith, the steward. THE PETERSONS Just before leaving the city on his ill-fated trip, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Peterson, 6922 Aberdeen street, entertained Mrs. Emma Roberts, of Boston, formerly of Washington, and Miss Edith Marauty, Detroit, who are lifelong friends of the Petersons.

Those present besides Mrs. Mead were Mr. Mead and son, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith (Aberdeen street), Mr. and Mrs. Ogburn and Mrs. Hayman of Vernon avenue.

After they closed they attended a reception given by the local committee for the Knights Templar and the Eastern Star Chapter. On Tuesday morning the Prince Hall Grand Commandery Knights Templar convened in their thirty-second annual session, on the second floor of the Masonic Temple, and Eureka Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star of Illinois convened in their thirty-second annual session on the top floor. Albert R. Lee of Champa'gn, Ill. delivered a very able and tily address to the sir knights and Mrs. Ross, the Grand Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, made her annual address which was very interesting to all who heard it. The finances of both chapter and commandery seem to be in good, healthy condition. In the reports it was shown that several new commanderies have been dispensed and a few new Eastern Star Chapters were organized. Great stress was placed upon the race to get together socially, financially and intellectually. Race pride was pictured in brilliant colors. Honesty and race confidence were advocated. The magnifying of falsehood and contradiction of truth were condemned among the race, in fact, it was edifying to have heard the various reports and timely talks of the representatives coming from all sections of the race. The Grand Comamndery will hold an encampment on the grounds of the Prince Hall Masonic Home, at Rock Island, Ill. Meet in Chicago in 1916. It has been planned to hold the biennial conference of Knights Templar of the United States in Chicago, in 1916. The Nobles of the Mystic Shrine will also meet here in 1915. Memorial service was held over the fifteen Sir Knights who died during the year on Tuesday afternoon. The representatives from the Grand Commandaries of other jurisdictions were received, and reported during the afternoon session. Officers Elected.

For if you win you lose. WHERE WE STAND. When half of the peoples of the workd are actually engaged in war, and the other hali thinking, talking and reading nothing but war, the question arises as to just what is our position on’ this momtentous question. We say our position, not that it is any differ- ent than that taken by every loyal citizen, but our friends of the Vardaman and Iilease type seem to think it is. It is not necessary. at this time to prove that we have ever been on the fring line in battles as far back as history records, and the insinuation that even if we do make good soldiers it is because we are governed by white officers, will not hold water in the face of the splendid record made by the Eighth Regiment. 1. N. G.. in whose organization not a. white face appears. ‘The Governor justly refers to them as “the pride of Sinois,” and only have they gained this reputation by: efficiency along all fines. “The Indianapolis Star says: “It is re- ported that the War Department is in danger of becoming ‘embar- | rassed" over a congressional request for an opinion as to the merits: of a bill introduced by Congressman Frank Parks which would make it untawiul for a Negro to be appointed an officer or a non- commissioned officer in the army. Where the embarrassment’ comes in it is not easy tu see, The bill, on the face of it, is absurd and plainly unconstitutional, It is, indeed, high time that the: federal government should, in na uncertain terms, make its position clear in regard to the status uf so large a portion of its citizens.” | The army is the one bright particular spot where we have made an. enviable record, loyal, able efficient and brave is the way that history records us. Was it not uur blvod that was first shed'in the war for American independence? At the battle of Lake Erie we | constituted half of Commodore Perry's troops. Who has forgotten | the service rendered in the Civil War and in the Philippines? In’ the French army the black soldier is held in high esteem. Na- poleon’s ideal army was based on the fact that in the knapsack of even the humblest’ private Jay the potential marshal's baton. How. much more should similar conditions prevail in the army of this. free republic, We fear that Congressman Parks is trying to get | into the same doubtful limelight that made such specimens 2s Vard- aman and Blease—nor famous, but infamous, . 1 INSPECTION OF RESTAURANTS. A short time ago a great hue and cry went up all over the city about the uncleanliness of the restaurants. Inspectors visited the numerous eat shops, laid down the law as they found it in the books, and made divers comments and suggestions as to how a place of the kind specified should be conducted in order that their patrons would not be compelled to spend certain portions of each year in a hospital: All of this was done, and more; but the trouble with the reformers of Chicago, or. for that matter, reformers in general, is that they are too spasmodic. ‘This fit or spell comes over them at stated intervals and they rush in where angels fear to tread. There is no gainsaying the fact that our restaurants need supervision and need it badly. not so much those situated in the “Loop” as those in the outlying districts. For the most part they are dirty and uninviting. ‘The linen is suiled or half washed; a combination of odors is wafted to, you by the electric fans that atemind you forcibly of the packing house plants or a nearby tan- vner's. And, to top the whole thing off, the tired and over-worked waitress mechanicajly shoves your “grub” in a heap before you and sdisappears until tip time. Of all the places in the world that should tbe scrupulously clean, it is a restaurant. The average man or ‘woman, even though ravenously hungry, loses appetite upon entering a restaurant of this type. The local condition in what is termed the “Black Belt” is sadly in need of a first-class cafe where ladies and gentlemen may go with the assurance of getting the service they pay for. There are many cafes in this area, some whose start gave promise of being the long-looked-for article, but from some cause or other have allowed their places to run down. Chicagoans are especially proud of their merchants, and patronize them liberally. The merchants in return display their wares in the most attractive form. ‘Their places are tidy and up to date. And just why restaurant keepers cannot understand or practice that “cleanliness is next to godliness,” is hard to fathom. Bo we repeat the reform wave should not have stopped in its infancy. ‘There is much to do still to bring the eat shops up to the standard. MRS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

THE NINTH BIENNIAL CONVENTION of the Federation -of Colored Women’s Clubs was held recently at Wilberforce Uni- versity, and Mrs. Booker T. Washington was re-elected president, .an honor which she justly deserves. Mrs. Washington is deeply ‘interested in everything that affects the race and especially her sex. Her work in the South among the women of the race can not. ‘be measured in mere words. She has done the one thing that. ‘counts in life—put her heart and soul into her work, That she is nat better known is her_own fault. Modest and retiring, she Jeaves to others the pomp and show of the world, But when the day is done she can rest with the comforting thought that she has done unto others as she would have them do unto her.

Our young men have not the slightest chance of ever becoming admirals or generals. But they may learn from the progress of passing events in Europe that the dor of opportunity is not always closed. No man need be discouraged because his time has not come. Some unknown man who seizes opportunity will be the great general or admiral of Europe in a few weeks or months. The unknown man, black or white, who makes his own opportunity HERE IN THIS COUNTRY will be- come the great general of industry, politics or commerce of this country some day. Because West Point and Annapolis refuses to teach us how to fight, we must not get discouraged; it won't be long before the United States will give you the same opportunity she is giving the Filipino, the Jap and others, While this war will be next to the last great war the United States government will need you to repel the foreigners, se is now kicking you for and taking bread out of your mouth to assist nations that will hurl a bomb at them any time, you must still continue to knock at the door of hope, but with an educated hand and head in order that when the Ruler pro tem is cast into the melting pot you will be standing awaiting the call for men from your country, SS eeEee—e—————— Eee 7 COMPENSATION.

The impression created quite a sensation in Latin America. so much so that Brazil, Argentine, Thili, Peru, Venezuela and Eequador met to protest against such prejudicial fallacies as was shown by the United States officers. Today we sce the result by reading between the lines of the intercourse between these coun- tries and the orient. Japan wants to enter as a competitor with the United States to find’a market for her rapidly-growing industries, The warlike state of Europe makes all other industrial nations turn their eyes to South America. All are trying to wrestle from Ger- many her supremacy before the cessation of histilities. A merchant marine seems to be the slogan of Japan. The United States and Australia, representing England, are negotiating and vigorously pursuing commercial tactics for this all-important trade. Japan seems tu he the favored nation because of that ill-opportuned trade. Japan seems to be the favored nation because of that ill-opportuned action of a few unscrupled, misinformed bigots, It really seems ludicrous that a great big nation as these United States will permit such small unnatural farces as color, complexion, or breed to have interfered with her vast export trade at this crises. This law of compensation is as certain as death! Retribution has ceased to be a theory! “As ye sow so shall ve reap.” When these great truths shall have heen imbedded in the hearts of most Americas, coupled with their respect for the off-colored brother abroad and at home, a running, heart-gnawing soar will be healed. .‘oday in peace this great nation looms in smiles and cheers, but tomorrow in war may be jibes and sneers. You may conscript a man and place him un- der your rigid military discipline, yet if he fights not with the heart and love of his country, beware! Greater than ye have fallen! Beware! WE ALL HAVE a vague idea of what Heaven is like. Still we would like to hear the testimony of the little colored boy who was locked up in a box car containing about fifteen hundred water- melons. IF THERE IS ANY ONE race that can beat us holding con- ventions and electing one another to high sounding offices, where gold braid and brass buttons play an important part, we should like to hear from them. NOW THAT THE TENTH CAVALRY are stationed along the border line, there is little fear of the Mexicans, bombarding the “Windy City.” And. by the way, what has become of the Mexican Rep ble? Surely the newspapers could find space between their advertisements to give us a smattering of news from the front. MONROE, LA., LYNCHED, WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, three poor unfortunates for the same crime. Their trial will doubtless come off later, and if they are innocent, why, their being husled into eternity was just a mistake, that’s all. “In the face of some things that happen in this.so-called civilized country, it is not hard to believe that there must be a hell for a certain por- tion of our citizens.

It Frank Moran had succeeded in outclassing John Arthur Johnson in the recent contest held at Paris, France, it is firmly velleved that a certain element of white people would have raised sufficient money to have buiit bim a monument equal in pro- portions to the Colossus at Rhodes, so great is their desire to have the title which Johnson so easily holds, wrested from him, Johuson does not have to contend against flesh and blood alone; but against the combined powers of psych- ological suggestions coming from the minds of a' hundred million or more of his conspirators. For one cannot doubt this if he reads the newspaper reports about him, It is clear that his enemies are using all the force and power which the mind can contrive In a psychological way to defeat him. To keep up his courage under such odds, to stand and fight, and then smile, mark him as a rare specimen of human life. We admire, therefore, not only his blood and brawn, but his unconquerable, invineible spirit which gives him the necessary stamina and enables him to win. This editorial is, therefore, written in appreciation of those rare quallttes ‘of which he is possessed and to call attention to both the material and Peschological odds against which he is fighting, and this, in spite of the fact that we cannot commend his life and way of living—St. Mark’s Chureh Life.

That Is, the dally newspapers find in him excellent material to demonstrate the ability of their high-salarled writers. But ead to relate, it {s only in a com- ical vein that the mighty fistic king is pictured, On the other hand, the as- tute French people do not shout from the house-tops their ideas, and who knows but what the future historians of that famous country will find much that is noteworthy to record of the world's heavyweight champion.

VERHAPS THE FIRST AND MOST ESSENTIAL THING for an employer to do is to get in touch with his employes. Tt is purely and simply a business proposition. ‘The store, factory, mill, tailroad or any corporation that has the handling of reat nembers of men owe it not only to their employes, but to themselves, to know the class of men they are dealing with, know the men so that they can at all times be in a position to uphold and defend them, for the humblest workman is as much a part of the great machinery as the president. Each has his respective place and part to do iy the wheel of commerce. The Pullman company has in its employ something like ten thousand men of our race. Sotrie have been with them for years, others come and go like the winds. Recently it dawned upon the officials of this company who had the direct handling of these men that perhaps they could secure better service for the traveling public if they held a series of get-together meet- ings. Accordingly these meetings were arranged, the place se- lected being the Wabash Avenue Department of the Y. M.C. AL Several hundred men gathered and were addressed, not by under- studies, but by the highest officials of the company. There was an exchange of thoughts and ideas. Suggestions were asked for and, given to improve the service. A general friendly goodiellowship' feeling was shown. The men dispersed resolved to make a better showing in the future if possible, and the officials felt they were on the right track to bring the best results to the company and to the traveling public. ‘There is nothing like contact to bring results.
