MORE ABOUT SMILES; BEST MEN HAVE DROLL FACES. Men Offtimes Feel Like Crying Because Both Company and Passengers Don't Appreciate Their Work—Only Ask for Fair Chance. The Pullman porters are still telling their grievances to The Chicago Defender. Every mail since this newspaper first gave publicity to the meetings between the officials of the company and the porters, letters have been coming in from the men who are engaged in this work. In the issue of Saturday, August 22, was published extracts from interviews with several porters. This week one of the many letters received in full with the exception of the name and address of the writer. The letter follows: Smile Don't Signify Ability. To the Editor: If you have space to spare I would like to state to Mr. Davis and Mr. Hungerford of the Pullman company the main grievances of the porters. As a porter stated at the last meeting, we want better sleeping quarters and a better system of getting our meals. We believe in smiles, but every person don't smile. Smiles don't signify good service. God did not make us all alike. There are many good men who have droll faces in that line of business who understand the public, give first-class service and have soft and kind words for everyone. After having your rest broken both night and day, and after traveling from two to six thousand miles per week, waiting on all sorts of people who get off without giving you a penny, would you smile? Why, more than two-thirds of these people, after having their shoes polished for one, two or three days get off without even saying thank you. Why should we buy polish to shine passengers' shoes for nothing? If you were a porter, would you always wear a smile under such conditions? No! Sometimes we feel like crying, to be treated in such a way. We feel that we should have the privilege to ask passengers whether they wanted their shoes polished or not. They have to pay for having their shoes shined at a bootblack stand, why not pay us? Why should it be up to them whether they should pay us or not? In giving us a quarter or half a dollar, according to how many times we have polished their shoes, they are only paying us for that work and not tipping us as many of them think. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON PASSES THROUGH CITY Principal of Tuskegee Institute, Returning from National Negro Business League Meeting, Spends Hour or so with Friends. Early Tuesday morning a reporter for the Chicago Defender was surprised when he recognized Hon. Booker T. Washington strolling along Polk street. Approaching the noted educator he learned that he was returning from attending the sessions of the National Negro Business League, which were held at Muskogee, Okla. "Are you stopping at Dr. Hall's?" inquired the reporter. "I am in town for only a few hours, but I shall see him," was Mr. Washington's evasive answer, as he moved toward State street. RUPERT JONAS HERE IS ENVOY OF VILLA Rupert Jonas is in the city, stopping at the Victoria Hotel. Senor Jonas is one of three men comprising a junta sent through the United States by General Villa. He was seen yesterday at the Defender office. "The present ruler of Mexico is between two fires," said Jonas. "On one side stands Villa, champion of the people, who insists upon the fulfillment by Carranza of the pledges to return the land to the natives; on the other side are English and French capitalists, who are ready to adopt any method to retain their ill-gotten land." CHICAGO, AUGUST 29, 1914 JACK JOHNSON LOSES 14 TRUNKS IN FLIGHT FROM RUSSIA Champion Was on Stage When First Call to Arms Was Received—Receives Ovation When Paris Is Reached. Mrs. Tiny Johnson, mother of Champion Jack Johnson, and the other members of the family received a large bunch of letters from him this week. Several of the letters were delayed owing to the crippled steamship service. From them it was learned that the champion was filling a theatrical engagement in Moscow when word of the war was received. He was on the stage when the inhabitants of the town came running wildly down the street crying that the German warships were about to bombard the town. Gus Rhodes, his nephew, brought the news to him. In the hurried flight of the party from Russia the party lost fourteen trunks that had not been located up to the time of writing. It was after he had left Russia that he telegraphed the French authorities offering the use of his automobiles. Word of his act spread like wildfire, and when he and his wife reached Paris they received an ovation from the hundreds of people gathered to meet them.

GREATEST CASE SINCE DREAD SCOTT DECISION MISSISSIPPI GOVERNOR PARDONS FOUR CONVICTS State Executive Shows Clemency to Quartet of Afro-American Prisoners, Two of Them Being Sentenced for Life. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Jackson, Miss., Aug. 28.—For various reasons Gov. Brewer today pardoned four Afro-American convicts who are serving time at the Parchman convict farm. Petitions for executive clemency for the prisoners have been on file in the governor's office for some time. After carefully investigating each case Gov. Brewer decided they had been sufficiently punished, and he would let them go, on the condition that they observe all of the laws of the state in the future. A breach of the condition will put into effect the unserved portions of the sentences. The following were pardoned: Ed Montgomery, sent up from Sunflower county in 1907 to serve a life term for murder. Robert Cooper, serving a sentence of ten years for manslaughter. He was convicted in Holmes county in September, 1910. Ada Johnson, convicted on a charge of murder in the first district of Jones county in December, 1912, and given a life term. Allen Cloyd, convicted of murder in Washington county in June, 1900, and sent up for life.

YOUNG GETS JUDGMENT IN THEATRE CASE Jury in Judge Pearson's Court Grants $100 Damages Against Highland Park Manager—Class Distinction Was Made Him. Special to The Chicago Defender. Highland Park, Ill., Aug. 28.—Last week Thomas S. Young, a chauffeur for Superior Court Judge Ewing of Highland Park, won a judgment for $100 in the county court here when a jury returned a verdict declaring that William Pearl, the manager of a moving picture theater in Highland Park had shown class distinction against him when he attended the theater. The case is the first of the kind to come up in the local courts. From the testimony of both sides taken yesterday it was shown that some time in last March Young went to the theater with a number of friends, and that he and his lady friend sat in the center of the house while the others sat on the side. Suit Was Not for Money. He had not been there long when an usher came to him and ordered him to sit on the side of the house. This he refused to do and was given his money back when he left the theater. He at once consulted an attorney and the suit was started. Afro-Americans throughout Illinois are pleased to learn that Mr. Young had won this case. Discrimination on account of color is a violation of the statutes of the state of Illinois. "I did not enter this suit for money," said Mr. Young to a reporter for The Chicago Defender. "It was a clear case of discrimination and it was more to protect the other members of the race who may desire to patronize this place, that I brought the action." GRACE CHICAGO PULPITS Rev. T.

One of the most singular cases inviolation of the Civil Rights' Act of Illinois which has been witnessed in the courts of Chicago was tried and finally disposed of today before Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal Court. Harry H. Boger, proprietor of the Chateau Cafe at 340-8 East 35th street, S. D. Williamson, manager and Robert Johnson, waiter, were the defendants in the case, having been previously arrested and given bond. The prosecution was represented on the part of the People by George W. Ellis and Richard E. Westbrooks, at 3000 South State street, and the defendants were defended by B. F. Moseley. A brief history of the 'case is as follows: Charles Copeland, a young Afro-American and his wife, a young white woman, and some relatives and friends in a party of six, on or about Aug. 6, went into the Boger Cafe to be served. The entire party was refused the accommodations of the cafe by the waiter, manager and proprietor, for the reason that Boger said that he had orders not to serve black and white people together in his place. Copelands Secure Council. Upon being refused the Copelands secured Ellis and Westbrooks as their attorneys and began action under the criminal statute for unlawful race discrimination. Upon application at 35th street station the sitting judge refused to issue the warrant for the Boger party. The matter was carried to the State's Attorney and the complaint was O. K.'d and instructions given for the warrants to issue. The parties were all arrested and gave bond and when the matter came up at 35th street station the prosecution asked that the case be transferred to the Chief Justice for assignment on account of the expressed opinion of the Sitting Judge. Chief Justice Hears Case. When the case came up on the 26th instant before the Chief Justice he decided to hear it himself. The objections raised to the warrant by Attorney Moseley were rebutted by Ellis and Westbrooks and the case proceeded to trial. Five witnesses testified to the acts committed by the defendants and the prosecution rested. The defense made a motion to discharge the defendants for the reason that the prosecution had failed to make out a case. The Judge overruled the motion and the defendants began their weak defense. Boger's defense was that he denied the Copeland party the accommodations of his place, not on account of race and color, but on account of previous conduct. He failed to make his defense stand under the cross-examination of the prosecution and unwittingly admitted that he had called Copeland aside on a previous occasion and after inquiring if his company was white, informed Copeland that he had orders not to serve white and black together. In Boger's breakdown he even admitted that Captain Nootbar was the source of his instructions to discriminate in his cafe. His defense and his lawyer, too, went to pieces on this unfortunate rock of truth. Boger's lawyer became so confused in the dilemma in which Boger's admissions had placed him, that he --- HOME EDITION FOR LINE SINCE T DECISION Corporated Case Which Is to Set Pre-Guidance of Afro-Americans Yet Justice of the Municipal Court prets the Law—Decision Shows that They Are Not Greater Elemental Statutes of the State AX NOOTBAR IS NOT ARBITER bert Jackson and S.

He even tried to appeal to the prejudice of the Judge by personal references but all in vain. The Chief Justice found all the defendants guilty as charged and upon the recommendation of the attorneys for the prosecution for certain admissions made by Boger, the following fines were imposed: Boger, $15; Williamson, $5 and Johnson, $5 and costs. The defendants were so sure of acquittal that none of them had enough money to pay their fines with Harry Boger, proprietor of The Chateau Cafe, who made race history in Illinois. them and they had to wait until they could borrow the necessary amount.

RAY THEATER But Is Nipped in the Bud by Chicago Defender's Legal Attorney—Many People Take Insult Without Investigation. On the 15th and 18th of this month the manager of the Ray theater increased the admission from 5 to 10 cents, said increase to apply to Afro-American patrons only. Several of our readers, having been wrongly overcharged, reported to this office the discrimination of the Ray theater. The Defender at once referred the matter to its Legal Department. The matter was investigated and found to be as reported. The proprietor said he had had legal advice to do as he had been doing, yet he took good pains not to charge but 5 cents when the Defender's representative applied with his party for admission. This theater is located at 35th and Grand boulevard. He further claimed that he was discriminating because the Burton theater at 39th and Indiana avenue was discriminating. This house should be watched and its conduct promptly reported if wrong and injustice are being practiced by its management. CHARLES M. CONLON, REP STATE REP CHARLES M.

GREAT FALLS, MONT. (Special to the Chicago Defender) Great Falls, Mont. Aug. 28.—One of the prettiest weddings ever solemnized in Great Falls among the Afro-American residents was that of Miss Marie Henrietta Dutrinelle to Mr. Theodore A. Ellis of Salt Lake, which took place last week at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Maria Dutrinelle, 605 5th avenue South, at 10 a.m. The bride attired in an all lace gown of Parisian make, attended by Miss Mattle Robinson, marched into the drawing room to the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march and joined the groom, who was unattended, under the alcove where also were her mother, brother and Rev. D. W. Sims of the A. M. E. Church, who performed the ceremony. During the ring ceremony of the A. M. E. Church, Prof. Will McDonald sang "O Promise Me" and several other selections. Following the nuptials the bride and groom received the numerous guests and a buffet luncheon was served. At 2 oclock the bride, attired in one of the new fall models of green with hat to match, had adieu to her guests and, with Mr. Newly Wed left for Stanford, Mont., where they will make their future home, at which place Mr. Ellis is head machinist in the garages. The popularity of the young couple was attested to by the very numerous presents their many friends showed upon them. ** Mr. Justin Lee and Miss Carrolla of Helena were among the out of town guests who attended the Dutrinelle-Ellis wedding. During Miss Ford's visit in the city she was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Galney of 305 6th avenue South. ** The Puget Sound Conference of the A. M. E. Church convened in Spokane, Wash., last week and quite a number of residents from this city were in attendance. Among some of them besides the pastor, Rev. D. W. Sims and wife, were Mr. and Mrs. Jos. McCracken and Miss Mattle Robinson. ** Hon. John W. Montgomery of Toronto, Canada, confidential man to the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario, arrived in the city on Sunday last to take his aunt, Mrs. John D. Galney, back to Toronto where she will consult the eminent physician and surgeon, Prof. F. N. G. Starr of that city.

War abroad, and in a recent issue of one of the South Side papers, war has evidently been declared on crooked and unscrupulous real estate brokers and property owners selling to Afro-Americans. This paper referred to states that their attention has been called to the fact that a number of people have lost their property because they did not have proper legal advice and that heirs sprang up later to claim the property, etc. During the last few days the editor of this paper had occasion to call at the office of Fred'k H. Bartlett & Co., and was impressed by the large number of people there buying property on the South Side. Upon inquiry, information was given that this last week was one of the best weeks in the sales department in the history of the company, which is accounted for by the war made on prices and terms at this particular time. Then, too, people are beginning to realize that their money is safer in real estate than in the bank. This company through its straight and legitimate dealings with people, has grown into the largest real estate concern in the city. They are the owners of every piece of property they offer for sale. Therefore, by dealing direct with this company, a person is able to save commission charges; also by dealing with this company, it is not necessary for the purchaser to have an attorney to examine the title of the property, as this company has one of the best law and conveyancing departments in the country. Furthermore, before they purchase any property, the title is guaranteed to them by the Chicago Title & Trust Co. to be good, and they in turn guarantee it to the purchaser with a clear title from the time the land was owned by the government. Therefore, it is not necessary to have an attorney when dealing with this company, as they make no charge for fees for examination of titles, etc., although if a person so desires and wishes to go to the expense, they may employ the best lawyer obtainable. We feel perfectly safe in recommending this company to the readers of our paper and refer you to their ad on the last page of this issue. Laconic Advice When Atticus once discovered a treasure of gold while digging under a house he sent news of his discovery to the emperor, Nerva, from whom he received the laconic reply: "Use it."

It is recorded of a famous actor that in the course of a tour he rewarded the politeness of a waiter at his hotel with a pass for the theater to which all the town was crowding to see the stage favorite in a great play. The next day the actor asked the man how he had enjoyed the visit to the theater. "Oh, it was very nice. I enjoy it very well, indeed—but—er—who is to pay me for my time?" was the disconcerting reply. Wouldn't Do In Amberle A woman from Germany was visiting little Herman's mother one day. Herman was trying to make a kite. He asked the guard if she knew how to make a tail for his kite. She told him she did not know how the little American boys made tails for their kites, but she knew how the little German boys made them. She knotted up some strips of paper, and when he saw it he said: "Oh, my, that will never fly in America." The Actor's Mistake. Toole, the English actor, used to get off a good thing occasionally. At dinner at a country hotel he was sitting next to a gentleman who had helped himself to an extravagantly large piece of bread. Toole took it up and began to cut a slice from it. "Sir," said the indignant gentleman, "that is my bread." "I beg a thousand pardons, sir," replied the actor, "I mistook it for the loaf."

This will greatly surprise many students of contemporaneous mule life. If ever there was an animal with low cunning expressed in its eye and its twitching nostril, that animal is the mule. Its ability to place a kick where it will give the greatest offense to its victim, is something marvelous. One as Hard as the Other: One as Hard as the Other.

A certain politician desired a diplomatic appointment, says the Washington Star. A friend, in surprise, said to him: "But you don't even speak the language of the country!" "Well," replied the determined applicant, "a man isn't nearly so likely to make indiscreet remarks, if he has to get a lexicon and look up the meaning of every word he utters." To the Manor Borg A lady accosted a little girl who was entering one of the fashionable New York flats where she knew the rules were exceedingly strict, and after some little conversation, said: "How is it you live in these flats? I thought they would not take children. How did you get in?" "Why," replied the child, "I was born in." ] Mews of the Ghurskes ST. LUKE M. E. CHURCH.

Annual Slaughter of Elephants, Africa 1s the chief source of the ‘world’s supply of ivory, and {t 1s estl- mated that 70,000 elephants are an- ually slaughtered for their tusks. But not more than 20 per cent of this ivory 1s represented in the total im- ports to Europe. HARD WORK SELDOM FATAL Nervous Prostration and ite Attendant Mla Generally Derived From ‘Other Sources, We hear a great deal today about excessive brainwork, and wo read in the newspapers of’ frequent break downs from that cause. Every week or oftener we are told of some clergy: man, leading merchant oF other bush ness man who collapses and has to ‘quit work—perhaps take a trip to Eu: rope and reside for months or a year— for that reason. Collego students are Feported from time to tlmo as dam- aging or killing themselves by bard study. We doubt the truth of most of these atatements. A knowledge of the facts would show, wo believe, that in nine-tenths of these cases the cause of the breakdown was not an excess of bralnwork, tut the lack of something else, such’ ag nutritious food, sleep, bodily exeretse, and a cheerful temper. ‘The truth 1s, no organ of tho body 1s tougher than the brain. Hard work aloue, pure and simple—apart from anxieties and fear, from forced or vol- untary stinting of the body's needed supply of food or sleep and the mind's need of social Intercourse—does far more (0 invigorate the brain than to leseen its strength; does more to pro- Jong life than to cut or fray its thread. It fg the rarest thing in the world for 2 man to think himeelt to death, unless his thoughts run for many years fn & monotonous rut—whfh Is a8 det- timental to vigor as a monotonous diet to the digestive functions—or un- lese his thoughts relate to something very painful, irritating, or distressing, Jt has been justly said that thought fs to the brain what exercise is to the physical organtem, It keeps the chan- nels of Iife clear, fhe blood vessels un- obstructed, @0 that the vital Auld courses along them distributing new- ness of life and vigor of action to the latest hour of existence. On the other hand, the want of thought starves the circulation, and causes-men to drivel aud sleep in old age—dead to overy- Uiing but eating and drowsing 1a the chimney corner. So untrue ts it that college students break down from the streas of study on the brain that, other things being equal, the hardest students enjoy the beut health. Where one young maa, if any, ruina his health by wrestling with anatuematical and psychological prob- Jems or with the enigmas of Greek and Latin syntax, bad habits, the strain, and excitement of athletic con- testa, cigars, winedrinking and other forme of dissipation, and heavy eating at late hours, undermine the health of hundreds. ‘The two Iittle fingers of iosipation are often heavier than the Maes of Euctid. Mark of Culture, In the land of the Niger, says Mr. P. Amaury, Talbot in the London Times, little or no stigma attaches to Jailbiras, In fact, prison residence ts often re garded as conferring the mark of culture and distinction, ‘The last gov- ernor of southern Nigeria once com plimented a chief of the Interior on his knowledge of English, to which the man replied with a ‘proud alr, “Of course I be fit to talk English mouth! I learn all that when I live long time in prison,” Such residence Is indeed looked upon as giving a ort of official status. At Calabar some prisoners were out cleaning the road, when a clerk, dressed in the height of fashion, high collar, patent leather boots and the smartest of suits, went by. In pase ing, he flicked one of the bending Ja. borer with a Uttle swagger cane he was carrying. At once the aggrieved party sprang erect. “What!” he ex claimed, with splendid contempt, “You dare touch me, you factory man! Look-ame!” Here he pointed to the broad arrows prominently displayed over his simple best and loin cloth. “be government man! See here!” And the dandy passed on abashed. dia and Dletiaualeted ti. Charles A, Peabody, distinguished 98 a lawyer and Jurist, was born In Sandwich, N. 11. 100 years ago. Ho studied Iaw at Baltimore and at the Harvard law school and after being admitted to the bar, began the prac- tise of his profession in New York in 1839. He was a member of tho con- vention that organized the Republican party In New York tn 1855 and was Justice of the supréme court of Now York from 1855 to 1867. During the period of the Civil war ho was aj dge of the United States provisional ¢ urt of Loutsiana, and also served as c! of Justice of the supreme court of that state. After the war he returned to the practise of law in New York elty, In 1885 Mr. Peabody represented tho government of the United States at the international congress of com- mercial law. He died in New York city July 3, 1901, Rannevity he County-Antiten. During the course of a loca! govern- ment board inquiry held at Ballyclare, Ireland, before the local government board inspector, relative to making a closing order for Rashee graveyard, fa great many claims for the right of interment were made on behalf of a largo number of people aged over ninety years, and one person aged one hundred and four yeare, all residents fn the locality, In ono case a man made a claim for himselt and two sis- ters, all aged over ninety years, and for a third sister, whom he described as the “young one,” whose age he gave as soventy-tour. ‘In many cases evi- dence was given of four generations alive in the same family, and evidence jot interment in the graveyard about sixteen years ago of a person who had reached the great age of one hundred ‘and eloven years.

The opening night of the Summer Tent Carnival which occurred last evening was a tremendous snogess. The tent was crowded to its capacity. There was a medley of song. fun- making and schemes to separate one from all he had; the crowd, although jostled, was good-natured und took the fleecing as a matter of course, be- cause they believed the cause justified it. The baby booth, the mystery booth and the cabaret artists seemed to attract the greatest amount of at- tention. Altogether it was one of the most novel and ingenious entertain- ments ever pulled off among our peo- ple in this city. The big crowd, of course, is expected tonight, when everything still unsold will be raffled off to the highest bidder and the en- ure program will be changed. On Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, uh- der the tent, a monster mass meeting will be held, presided over by Dr. Chas. E. Bentley, at which time such noted speakers will appear as Judgo Edward 0.

The Grand. Passion for foreign music would be the merest chauvinism to assert that no benefit has come or could come to the art of this country by the way of Europe. But it is certain when you hear Prof. Dave Peyton, one of America's foremost musical directors, and his Lady minstrels at the Grand theater this week, for the extraordinary kindling of patriotic fervor will sweep you into the tidal wave of public joy in the things that are its own. The show opens with dainty Little Miss Marjorie Loraine, received favorably by the audience, then the famous end man or Miss Mamie McCrey song and extraordinary dancing. A very few could do as that child did her part. So acrobatic and eccentric dancing, a cute comedian, a scream, followed by the Mary Garden of Ragtime, Miss Elivia Johnson, in a clever song and some more real buck and wing dancing, so beautifully costumed. Miss Ethel Ridley, with a beautiful doll face, sang to several encores, simply a dream. The jokes by the end man, oh, I mean end ladies, animated laughter through the audience. Miss Hirletta Brown came through like Billy Kersands of old. Miss Sallie Loving sang very artificially and received her just applause. Now, mind you, Miss Rosa Brown did the extreme end on the right and brought down the house, on the left, Miss Pinkie Walker, a grotesque comedian, took just four encores and stopped the show. Leona Marshall, the real actress, was interlocutor, but was gowned like a queen and acted the show. The act on the whole was rather amusing. How did Prof. Peyton train and produce with such precision an act like that? I predict a crowded house the whole week. Miss Emmeralda, a very expert xylophone artist, opened the show and played like she had four hands. Earle and Edwards, singing and talking comedians, are very clever. Torman flos, and Leopold, a cabaret act, got by. The Arminta Trio, worlds fastest tumblers, with bodies in action faster than the eye, were very good and closed the Grand bill. New Monogram. There are intellectual pollywogs born of their time, and stirring about gloomily in the dredges of a stagnant world. Looking up through the murky, moss brown environment of their barrel universe, they see but few shows, those not distinctly. But it would take a Diogenes search to find a big vaudeville act in comparison to Miller and Brown, big, great act called "Mr. Ragtime" at the New Monogram theater—simply a miniature Williams and Walker show in condensation of a nutshell, "Mr. Ragtime," as the title implies, does not give the act justice, for it is as good burlesque as Weber and Field ever gave in their palmiest days, with only fifteen artists in the cast. It should be on big time but, of course, we strollers love a good show once in awhile ourselves. Our Eva Tauguay—i.e. I mean Miss Ethel James—the tempestuous pretty comedian, opens and is a great favorite of the roistering revelers who follow the stroll as a pastime. Her singing and dancing is away above par; in clean amusement she has Miss Emma Carus tied to a post in comedy and in dancing. It would behoove the original Eva to take lessons; her exit is great. Mr. Kid Brown, as Porter, reminds of the famous stock comedian, Mr. John Rucker, but he has John on eye comedy. A bright future is in store for him if he sticks to the big act idea. I think he has found his right place at last. Miss Elnora Johnson acts as his wife. She is a scream, and in their chatter she infuses a real hit of the show. Volcanic gusts of merriment to the audience, she outdid Andrew Trible as a wench. The lines of the show were clean and classy, very jaunty, sometimes gracefully reprehensible, but always of a brisk kind of piquancy and good literature. It was done in verse, oftimes in most delightful rhyme, and it had hidden depths of salute, cyclism and rare humor. The chorus girls were in the scene, "Mr. Brown as Paymaster." Bert Williams could not improve on merriment to the audience. They had romance tarred and feated. I for a joke, and lovely girls were especially trained in mel- littious reading of the sharply witty couplets, and taught to wear five or six changes with travesties on the garb of goddesses and fairies they entirely pleased their applauding audiences that crowded the theater three or four times during night performances. Mr. Miller and Miss Bijou were never ribald, always picturequees and addressed to minds which are tired of the hum drum vaudeville. It will be hard for Mr. Klein to fill in behind them. We have had a taste of a real ginger show and want more soon. Of course, Mr. Miller's Texas Tommy and Tango dancing was the best ever. He is the Geo. M. Cohan of Ethiopia. They play a return date in Indianapolis, Ind., with Cincinnati, O., to follow. I predict a crowded house this whole week. Please call "Mr. Raittime" again. Mr. A. J. Halsey, the manager of the famous classic Ethiopian play called "Ahjah" has secured the services of Prince Umfraema Kabroga, the Ethiopian linguist and traveler, to stage his original Folk-Lore dancing of Abbyssinia to the Phantom. Of spirits of the "Ahjah" Madame Halsey will be the queen of Zue. Yes, Mabel, it's sure coming now. Special scency, child. Miss Caroline Lillison of the Elite Cafe, having been sick for a week, has returned with a fresh bunch of new songs. Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone, the model queen of song, still holds her own—just simply a sweet masterpiece. Miss Ruth Belmont still holds her own at the Chautauau Gardens, assisted by an augmented orchestra. Miss Rebecca Allen, the fashion plate entertainer, was assisted by Miss Lola Hicks, the ragtime singer of very much merit, with Mr. Oscar Holden at the plano. They are great. The orchestra at this cafe is superb. Mr. Don Causby is a quiet adjunct to the entertainers there. Miss Lucile Hegamin, the Georgia peach, with that strong voice, is entertaining at the Willow Springs Cafe. Looks like a nymph of paradise assisted by that sweet dream, Miss Ethel Cole, and Mr. Will Abel. They make good anywhere, as both are very clever. The famous Pompei Cafe name has been changed to Richelieu, under new management, that of the genial Geo. L. Cook, a man with a personality with a charm to it. He will place a Chinese and American cafe in connection with the best of decorum. His entertainers are of the highest calibre. Mr. Ferd Morton, musical director, and Mr. Harry Bernard, our great lyric tenor, the prince of entertainers, will direct the amusements. This will be one of the best places for the stroller to receive their just enjoyment. Miss Hazel Elliot, the pretty Jew-faced girl, seems to improve nightly in her song numbers. She is ably assisted by that brilliant, teasing, brown-skinned dream, Miss Lottie Merry, who should play plano in some good orchestra. Why did not Mr. Klein get her in Mr. Dorsey's place? She is exceptionally good. They are making a hit at the El Centro Cafe. Say, you can get The Defender and Freeman from Columbus Bragg ad Madame Rosa Lee Tyler's palm room and ice cream parlor. I have them on sale. Quit looking over the other fellow's shoulder, Bud. Call your name next time. Yes, the "Ahjah" is coming. War ain't got nothing to do with the "Ahjah." But war is—Look there stands the "Ahjah! See! Little Lumie Katie Bragg, buried alive and incarnated to the Karma of the Ahjah, some act, coming soon to the Stroll. Review of Two Recent Shows. Miller and Lyle at the Majestic and "Darktown Follies" at the Haymarket are the big shows of the week. Such showings make lovers of the higher standard in the theatricals feel that Afro-Americans in the show business is not simply a mid-summer night's dream. Both are big hits and the biggest wonder is what has brought about this change has the moving picture success brought the narrow minded vaudeville manager to his senses and he is giving the public what the general public wants in the way of amusement and that real Afro-American shows and acts the present day movement is only bringing out the fathers of vaudeville and light musical comedies. Some twenty years ago a prejudiced manager wrote B. F. Keith an open letter through the New York Morning Telegraph why he put on so many Afro-American acts. Mr. Keith hesitated before replying and finally wrote an open letter in which he explained that vaudeville was a variety of entertainment that no American bill was completed without an Afro-American act. Mr. Keith lost interest in booking his house years before he died and the Afro-American died in vaudeville, but it looks today that he will regain his standing, as managers of vaudeville houses and other regular show houses will have to lay down their personal feeling and put on what the public wants, and not what they like. The managers and actors alone have made the moving picture business what the business is today by not giving the public what the public want and what the public pays for. Miller and Lyle's pictures in front of the Majestic was a curiosity as it's the first time a race act has played the house in nearly three years, yet no one should be surprised at Miller and Lyle playing on any bill. It goes without question that Miller and Lyle is the best act of its kind in vaudville original from start to finish. Miller and Lyle proved yesterday just what they could do to a first-class audience, which the Majestic always pulls. Their position was none too good; the audience was somewhat cold. The audience was slow in giving them applause but this did not bother these veterans. To finish a long story, Miller and Lyle took four bows at the finish of the burlesques on tango, the biggest hit on a bill of ten acts. "The Darktown Follies" gives us more food for gossip than we have had for some time yet the Follies or My Friend from Kentucky has used up as much space as the Mexican war. The writer and producers will go down in history as the gambest producer and writer of the race. Mr Hill has done everything to put the Follies on the map, which he did as far as New York City was concerned but other cities did not take to his show like New RK. After every kind of report except that the Follies had joined the Russian army against Germany the final one was the Follies had been taken into the great progressive burlesques and booked forty weeks. What's more it's the best show in the wheel this is the first time an Afro-American company has played the wheel. The octoroons played a few dates in it once also the Black Patti Trubadores. Coming down to the Follies, as a show it could not be classed with the productions of Williams and Walker or Cole and Johnson, but Mr. Hill's show fits the position better than any of the preceding productions. His company is made up of clever young people, full of speed. It's a speed production including renowned Miss Abbie Mitchell. A special notice should be given the number at the ball that closes the show it's far the best numb ever staged in America supposes I want to be a military man. Produced in Florida if the Darktown Follies don't bring the Afro-American shows back what will. The coming of Miller and Brown with a little musical company of fifteen people Miss Ragtime is the re ports from Indianapolis and Louisville where the show has played is good news. These young men are starting just as the original Cole and Johnson did in a small way, and it's the only way to raise. Miss Bijue who head the company is a very clever young lady. Mr. Miller is in the first class of the present day comedian. Mr. Brown stands out as a photo-player and should do well in any musical comedy. Chicago is always willing to push progressive spirit. Bring on Miss Ragtime.

PROGRESS AMONG YOUNG MEN Among the many constructive business forces working for the mutual uplift of the young Negro of Chicago is the Palmetto Business and Progressive Association. This organization was founded only a few months ago by one of Chicago's most brilliant and capable young men in the person of Mr. Harry B. Deas, 2245 South La Salle street. For quite a long time he thought of the many, many young men who wanted to do, but had no leader; and as soon as Mr. Deas cane forward, honest and capable, he was supported, until now the organization, though young, has amassed considerable financial strength. The unique feature is that they are building a fund sufficiently strong and not to be used for any purpose under three years, after which they plan to enter the business field, in the hope that they may build up a strong enterprise for the employment of trained young Colored men and women. A few evenings ago they gave a very large and successful barbecue and dance, from which they realized quite a sum for their treasury. Quite a number of our most successful business men have lectured to these young men and have been a great source of inspiration to them. Their strongest and best friend has been Mr. Samuel Austin, a man of strong influence. The membership is composed of sturdy, hard-working young men whose purposes are high and whose characters will stand the test. The officers are men of ambition and are as follows. Mr. H. B. Deas, president; Mr. R. A. Levey, vice president; Mr. Julius Eddings, treasurer; Mr. William Smothes, recording secretary; Mr. Andrew Williams, sergeant-at-arms. Quite a spirited contest came up in connection with the sale of tickets. A valuable prize was offered to the young lady selling the largest number of tickets for the barbecue. Mrs. P. A. Levey won the prize, which was a $5 gold piece. ELMWOOD CAFE'S LICENSE RETURNED Noted House of Entertainment to Open its Doors Sunday. Harry A. Russell, proprietor of the Elmwood Cafe, 3242-3244 State street, is all smiles. His place will be open tomorrow and will be ablaze with mirth and music.

Jackson from the Third Senatorial District Made a Brilliant Right in Behalf of Right and Justice—He Deserves to Be Re-elected. SEND HIM BACK BY PLACING A CROSS (×) IN FRONT OF HIS NAME AT THE PRIMARIES SEPTEMBER 9 He Succeeded by His Winning Ways, Natural Ability and Pleasant Manner in Killing off Legislation Which Would Be Injurious to the Best Interests of Both the White and the Colored Races Residing in Illinois. M. B. Major R. R. Jackson. Recognized by Speaker William McKinley and appointed a member of eight of the most important committees of the house—viz. Chicago charter, fraternal and mutual insurance, federal relations, military affairs, miscellaneous subjects, printing, senatorial apportionment, and municipal courts of Chicago. Immediately took hold of the "Jim Crow" bills aimed at the Colored people, and checked the progress of the intermarriage bill introduced by Mr. Karch and had it recommitted to the committee on miscellaneous subjects, of which he is a member. Finally killed the hill in the committee room Killed the two intermarriage bills introduced by Mr. Hollenbeck and Mr. Poorman. Appeared before the judiciary committee, contended for the preservation of the rights of his people and succeeded in having the bills tricked from the calendar. Killed the infamous full crew bill in the house and put to rout the strongest lobby for the passage of a bill that ever appeared on the floor of the legislature. Passed the bill appropriating $25,000 (without a dissenting vote) to commemorate in the state of Illinois the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation. CHIEF JUSTICE KILLS COLOR LINE. (Continued from page 1.) should and must learn. In the first place it announces that in Chief Justice Olson of the Municipal Court Chicago has a just and fearless judge. No language is too rich to portray the dignified and impartial manner in which he tried this case and weighed every stage of its development and his great devotion to his duty is only exceeded by his fealty to the law, honestly and impartially administered in behalf of all the people, without regard to race or color. The influence of this case will do much to promote concord and justice to the Afro-American people in this community. Judge Olson has shown that he is a real judge and a great man. All who love justice will have reason to respect and honor him more. Another lesson of this case is that when any person has been unjustly treated in a public place and he knows what to do and he does it promptly, the law affords an adequate remedy. That people who suffer discrimination need suffer no longer. Follow Copeland's example, seek relief and be free. Great credit should be given to Mr. and Mrs. Copeland for their brave ef MINTEN The Chateau Cafe, where Charles Copeland and his wife were discriminated against. forts in standing up for their rights as citizens of Illinois. They show to the people again, as is so often shown on the pages of history, that those who would be free must themselves strike HIS RECORD. Another Lesson tion of the Negro with an exhibition and celebration, and creating a commission to conduct the same. Passed an amendment to the civil rights act preventing discrimination in the burial of the dead in cemeteries and providing a penalty therefor. The vote was 99 yeas, and nays none. Stopped the progress of the new marriage laws because they contained the word "Colored," and compelled Colored people to state their color before being granted a marriage license. Bills died on the calendar. Presented the arguments on the two bills he passed and was honored by the entire membership of the House with a unanimous vote on both propositions. His seven weeks in the legislature stands unequaled by 50 per cent of the members of the House who had four months' lead on legislation. His clear-cut appearance at all times, afility, display of shrewdness and ability, coupled with diplomacy and his bulldog courage in winning his seat, won for him the admiration and respect of the entire membership of the house and senate. He had the ear of Speaker McKinley and maintained the good record left by his predecessor. There are seven candidates running. Vote for Jackson only. the first blow and that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. This case show another thing, that Captain Noothr. policemen, nor prejudice have any right or authority to instruct anybody to make any distinctions among the citizens of Illinois on account of race and color or any other reasons not applicable alike to all citizens. It further shows that if there are foolish and weak Afro-Americans in business weak enough to follow such unlawful instructions the time has arrived when they will be compelled to pay for their folly. Finally it is a great triumph for the Chicago Defender, the greatest and most fearless champion of justice and equal opportunity for all men and races, to be found among the newspapers of the country. To the Defender the cause of liberty and justice everywhere is indebted. To its fearless exposure the lives and liberty of so many of the Afro-Americans and helpless of Chicago owe their safety and continued existence. Its protests fill every page and its principles are being infused into the minds and hearts of the younger people to stand up and be counted as men. They are making the coming fight of civilization. They encouraged Copeland and cheered him on in his uphill and what at first seemed a hopeless fight. The Defender calls all liberty loving citizens to arms against the injustice and tyranny of such instructions as Boger said he received from the police sergeant. And this case urges the Defender, too, to keep up the fight. COL. F. A. DENISON CALLED TO SPRINGFIELD Col. F. A. Demson was called to Springfield, Ill., to confer with Adj. General Dickson relative to the meeting of the National Guard's annual meeting at Boston, Mass., Sept. 12-13.

He is a lawyer of ability and speaks six modern languages—English, Bohemian, German, Polish, Slovak and Croatian. His friends are numerous among all these nationalities. He was born in Chicago September 27, 1884, of Bohemian parentage. After having attended parochial schools in Chicago, and when 12 years of age, he entered St. Benedict's College, Atchison, Kan., where he studied the classics and was trained in the laws and customs of business. He was graduated from St. Benedict's with distinction at the age of eighteen.

The tables were beautifully decorated with all kinds of flowers and the ladies were tastily gowned, which made the reception one long to be remembered. After the guests were seated Rev. Collins was escorted into the room by D. W. Gibson and W. A. Duncan, who in turn introduced him as the new pastor for the ensuing year, after which he was presented with a large vase of American Beauty roses from one of the largest department stores of the city. The presentation was made by Mrs. T. J. Sadler. After a delightful repast Rev. Collins told of his trip to the conference and of the success he had. Tacoma is very pleased to have its minister returned. Rev. Collins has been in communication for the past few weeks with United States Senator W. L. Jones after inviting him to be the guest of the citizens of Tacoma and Seattle. He has about perfected arrangements for entertaining the senator the latter part of September. Senator Jones has proved himself a great friend to the race, and the Rev. Collins deserves credit for this movement. The date and place of the meeting will be given in the next issue of the Defender.

Jacksonville, Ill., Aug. 28.-The Household of Ruth No. 291 met in their regular business meeting Tuesday evening. Quite a number were out to hear the delegates report. Mrs. Brown gave a very full account of the meeting in Millwaukee. Mrs. N. J. Blue and Mrs. Sarah Rice also attended the meeting. * * * The Social Domestic Science club met in their regular business meeting Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Mary Brill on S.

The company is composed of the following members: W. C. Buckner, basso and manager; Madame Neal G. Buckner, soprano; Miss Helen Smallwood, contralto; Miss Alice Freeman, pianist; He is admirably qualified for the conduct of cases in that court, not only because of his extensive knowledge of the law, but because of his thorough knowledge of the customs and habits and his appreciation of the needs of the various peoples with whose language he is familiar. Genial, accommodating, courteous, liberal and broad-minded, and invariably fair toward opposing counsel, and anxious to simplify practice rather than to freight it with needless technicalities and useless objections, he naturally is popular both in and out of the court room. His residence is at 1824 South Ashland avenue. At the present time he is assigned to the prosecution of cases in the boys' court. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters, Greater Chicago Federation, Lawyers' Association of Illinois, Bohemian Club, chairman of the Bohemian Catholic Alliance of Chicago, president of the Rieger Club, Knights of Columbus; secretary of the Bohemian Cook County Democracy and numberless other organizations, clubs and societies.

SENATOR LAWRENCE Y. SHERMAN SPEAKS AT BETHEL CHURCH Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of the State of Illinois delivered an address last Sunday night at Bethel A. M. E church. He told of his opposition to the bills presented in Congress which abridged the rights of Afro-Americans. He was introduced by Adelbert Roberts, the silver tongued orator who is a candidate for the Legislature. Witty. But Rather Unkind. A friend of mine, says a correspondent of the London Chronicle, took a lady to the Gentlemen and Players' match at the Oval. She enjoyed herself greatly, and begged him to take her to the Eton and Harrow match at Lord's next day. This, for certain reasons, he was unwilling to do, so excused himself on the ground that as he was neither an Eton nor Harrow he did not propose to go to the match. The lady, much nettled, retorted quickly: "Then why are you here, because you are neither a player nor a gentleman?" NOTED ORATOR AND FEARLESS RACE CHAMPION CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE C. H. Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts. Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts is a candidate for representative at Springfield from the First district. The reasons for his nomination are too numerous to mention. He is the best qualified and the ablest candidate before the Republican primaries. His nomination would be a credit to the white people of the district. His nomination will show to other races that the time has arrived when the colored race is putting forth its highest and best men as race representatives. Roberts should be nominated because he is a real representative of what is noblest and purest in the colored race. Although a college bred man and an educated gentleman he is a true and tried friend of the common colored man. Many men with half the character and attainments of Roberts would be so conceited that they would not live and associate with their own people any more than they could help. Roberts has shown his real nobility of heart in his assistance frequently given without price to innumerable poor colored men, whom misfortune had overtaken. His influence and political power often has been used to secure the release McGURN FOR COUNTY CLERK Endorsed by Building Trades Council, Organized Labor and City Base- ball League. It is a pleasure to give publicity in this paper to the candidacy of busi- ness men who have been successful enough in their particular occupations to give confidence that their adminis- tration in public office will be honor- able to themselves and a real value to the public. In this category of candidates, we find Mr. Christopher J. McGurn as- piring to be the Democratic nominee for County Clerk. 1760 For the past ten years, at the head of the C. J. McGurn Plastering Co., his business activities have been above reproach. His counsel and judgment is recognized by his competitors in his constructive trade, with such confidence that he served them for eight years as president of the Plaster Contractors' Association. Always recognizing the rights of the "men behind the trowel" he piloted his association through many stormy periods without any unjust coercion of organized labor. Mr. McGurn resides at 3043 Walnut street, happily domesticated by a wife and five children. They provide an additional incentive for the sustaining of a clean record in business, moral or public life. He has the inheritance of Irish parentage, but was born in Chicago in 1874. He has been an active man in public affairs and is associated with the Cook County Democracy, Mouroe Lodge of Columbian Knights and Illinois Council, Knights of Columbus. His cards announce the indorsement of his candidacy by Governor Edw. F. Dunne and Mayor Harrison. RIVERSIDE ILL. Riverside, Ill., Aug. 28.—Mr. and Mrs. Robt. B. DeFrantz of Kansas City, Mo., Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Tucker, Chicago; Miss Lavina Early of Cleveland, O., Miss Blanche Nichols of Park Ridge, Ill., Miss L. Sommers of Indianapolis, Ind., Mr. Fay De Frantz of Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs. William Garnes of LaGrange, Ill., were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gaines Wednesday to a country dinner. After dinner the guests were motored to Forest Park. C. J. McGurn. of colored men from imprisonment. Roberts should be nominated as the colored people's candidate, because he is a Christian gentleman. Roberts is not a Sunday Christian or a formal church goer, but a valuable contribution to Christian example during every day in his life and dealings with men. He is afraid to do wrong knowingly; but he is fearless in the right. He believes in justice to every man, however humble, and he sympathizes with the struggles and aspirations of his race and people in every walk of life. The growth of prejudice in Illinois is so great that the colored people of Chicago can hardly afford to send to Springfield a representative with talents and character inferior to those of Roberts, Roberts, in his fearless and eloquent oratory would not only advance the interest of colored people at Springfield, but his official influences would broaden Negro opportunity throughout the state of Illinois. The interest of the Afro-American race in Illinois and the growing prejudice of the whites combine to demand that Chicago send Roberts to Springfield as the colored people's representative from the First District.

An old parishioner was extremely ill, and the prayers of the congregation were invited for hfm. During the service the news reached the vicar that he had passed away at the age of eighty odd.

She stood beside him on the street, She coughed, she raised her eyes; She looked particularly neat, She was petite in size. She gently leaned upon his side, She braced herself a bit; She found her shoelace was untied, She stooped to fasten it. He stood there rather unconcerned, He wasn't shocked or stirred. He looked not when to go she turned— He never said a word. He stood before this cigar store In weather foul and fine. For something like ten years or more— This WOODEN INDIAN SIGN.

WASHINGTON TELLS A STORY which, while on himself, illustrates clearly the attitude of the press, or rather a great portion of the press, towards the race. A number of years ago he made—as he thought—the speech of his life in a certain Southern city. His audience was apparently enthused to the highest pitch and he went to his hotel pretty well satisfied that his name would be emblazoned across the front page of the morning papers. It so happened that the same night a levee character of the race snatched a purse from a factory girl and was apprehended and landed in jail. To make a long story short, this culprit was featured on the front page, picture and all, while the notice of the great educator's speech was sandwiched in between ads. on the inside of the paper. The Indianapolis Times, under the caption "And He Was a Black Man" has this to say along the same line: "The Negro gets a large amount of space in the news- that the popular mind gradually comes to hold the whole race under suspicion. As a matter of fact a keen observer with even a moderate degree of fairness will find that he has good deeds to his credit; that there are times when he reaches the heroic, and that, as a rule, he is just as law abiding and just as industrious as the rest of us. Yesterday an aged woman would have perished in the flames which were destroying her home if it had not been for a Negro. We should be glad to give you his name, but he didn't hang around long enough to permit anyone to find out who he was. He was content to serve and take his reward in the consciousness that he had been for some service. We have known some white "Joes who were less modest. It is just cases like this which get into print occasionally which remind us that the police court "Nigger" is no fair sample of the Negro race; that it would be just as fair to judge all whites by the barrel house bums who day after day face the judge. Here was a hero of the highest type and he was a black man. What we need and need badly is a more friendly press; we have our shortcomings but we also have our virtues and as the latter are in the majority it would be but just and fair when there is any exploiting to be done to give us an even break at least. GRATITUDE. WHEN WE THINK we have thorough Republican party that long ago we had settled on, up bobs a candidate for some office as "the Republican party has done more for other party ever did, and the Negro sho n ticket out of gratitude, if for no other reason long have we been voting to keep our job be exact, ever since Heck was a pup, and we continued voting the same way if we had after all we weren't so deeply indebted to should have us believe and, furthermore, we ever gratitude in a substantial way for any JUST WHEN WE THINK we have thoroughly convinced the Republican party that long ago we had settled our accounts with them, up bobs a candidate for some office or other who reminds us "the Republican party has done more for the Negro than any other party ever did, and the Negro should vote the Republican ticket out of gratitude, if for no other reason." Let us see how long have we been voting to keep our benefactors in office. To be exact, ever since Heck was a pup, and doubtless we would have continued voting the same way if we didn't get a hunch that after all we weren't so deeply indebted to the G. O. P. as they would have us believe and, furthermore, we have certainly shown our gratitude in a substantial way for any and all favors shown us. We have been living on promises and jolly for a number of years and are getting rather tired of it. Ten million people is no inconsiderate number of the entire population of these United States, and to be not only ignored politically but to be mistreated in the bargain is more than running our cup over, and this all comes because we have allowed ourselves to be herded like cattle and driven in whichever way the bosses wished us to go. What was the use in making any overtures? Why bid for our vote? It has been drilled into us since childhood that next to the deity came the Republican party. They knew our weakness and preyed upon it. Our vote put them in office where they could legislate and graft and permit laws to be passed to further degrade us. The Democratic party did likewise, only more. They were ever in the front rank when it came to pushing the black man down. We knew that, so expected nothing from their lands until the last presidential election, when they invited us into their camp and promised if we would but lend them our support they would get right with us. We, trusting like, took them at their word. President Wilson's record in his short term of office is the answer as to what they did TO us, not for us. So we are groping about in the dark, looking for a standard bearer devoid of "colorphobia." Our eyes are open, wide open, and we mean to fight to the last ditch for our rights politically and otherwise. How absurd on the face of it to expect us to pay in proportion for the upkeep of the government as much as the whites and receive no recognition. We repeat, the time has passed for that sort of thing, and the party that wants and expects our support must give us something more substantial than promises. THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT. GN OF CRIME is still going merely, even in these piping times of publicity as in the times of Nero. If you true this statement is, scan the record ordering on the so-called "Black Hat" the emergency room of Provident States are brought cut up or shot up. If law prohibiting persons from certain arms was good as far as it went, the urban should also be put on carrying the latter. A man who is found with as severely as the one who has "accidents" are caused by this wear the police are a little harsh when a must stop to consider the kind of the lowest element of our race. Or else they would not cut and say. And liquor is not always at the squarrel over the most trivial thing in use of this tonsorial requisite. It disregard for the law are the prince steady influx of undesirables to make them regard the law. No one class of people around. It has been that the police in this district are in violation. We need more police and esknowing as they do the lay of the city treasury for grafters. Why remain peace and order? Chicago Beaus start at the bottom and not at THE REIGN OF CRIME is still going merrily on. Human life in this city, even in these piping times of peace, is held as lightly apparently as in the times of Nero. If you really wish to know just how true this statement is, scan the records in the police stations in or bordering on the so-called "Black Belt," or spend a few hours in the emergency room of Provident Hospital, where these unfortunates are brought cut up or shot up as the case may be. The recent law prohibiting persons from carrying, or even purchasing, firearms was good as far as it went, but it did not go fat enough. A ban should also be put on carrying large knives and razors, especially the latter. A man who is found carrying a razor should be dealt with as severely as the one who has a pistol. Two-thirds of these "accidents" are caused by this weapon. We sometimes feel that the police are a little harsh when dealing with our people, but we must stop to consider the kind of people they are dealing with—the lowest element of our race. They are little above brutes, or else they would not cut and slash their fellow man so brutally. And liquor is not always at the bottom of it. The slightest quarrel over the most trivial thing is provocation enough for the use of this tonsorial requisite. Dense ignorance and a consequent disregard for the law are the prime reasons. We cannot stop the steady influx of undesirables to our city, but we can and must make them regard the law. No one is safe on the streets with this class of people around. It has been demonstrated time and again that the police in this district are insufficient to cope with the situation. We need more police and especially those of our own race, knowing as they do the lay of the land. There is money in the city treasury for grafters. Why not divert a little to better maintain peace and order? Chicago Beautiful is our day-dream, but let us start at the bottom and not at the top to make it so. SELF PROTECTION. SHOWN IN A RECENT BULL reau that in eight of the largest ci was about thirty per cent higher an population. This is nothing new, IT WAS SHOWN IN A RECENT BULLETIN issued by the Census Bureau that in eight of the largest cities in the South the death rate was about thirty per cent higher among the colored than the white population. This is nothing new, nor should it be wondered at when the conditions that these poor unfortunates are forced to live in is taken into account. Herded in tumble-down, unsanitary shacks in a portion of the town unfit as a rule for habitation, with no watchful eye from the local health department upon them, is it to be wondered at that their homes are veritable pest spots—a place where germs of every description find an oasis. The "better element" are getting alarmed and have begun to do things to relieve the situation—for the sake of the colored brother? Oh, my, no. Self preservation is the first law of nature, and in the close contact of urban life they fear, and justly so, they will be contaminated. Hence the seeming deep interest in the welfare of the colored people. Well, even if they do have a selfish motive it is a good thing for all concerned, and the death rate is not the only point to be considered. It will be an awakening to both sides, for here is a portion of our land where one-half of the people know nothing of what the other half are doing. Contact is everything. CAPTAIN NOCTBAR IT WAS "WHO ROCKED THE BOAT." Chief Justice Harry Olson's decision in the Boger-Copeland discrimination case is not only the first case of its kind in the history of the city of Chicago, but it plainly demonstrates the fact that the Police Department is not the Law but simply the paid instruments to carry out the Law when rightfully interpreted. Captain Max Nootbar in charge of the district in which the chateau is situated for a time, overstepped his authority when he issued his now famous order to Mr. Boger. Chief Justice Olson measures up in full to his important position and deserves the commendation of the entire community. However, he can go a step further, and his attention is respectfully called to the judge who is so prejudiced that he could not hear the case. His duty in the matter need not be pointed out here. THE HEATHENS MUST WEAR A BROAD SMILE when they look upon their Christian brothers cutting and shooting each other up in the most approved manner and for what? Simply because some high muck-a-muck wished to gratify his passion for gore. Never in the history of the world was there such a war, nor was there ever such a flimsy cause. It matters not who wins, hundreds of thousands of lives have paid the penalty, widows and children are thrown into a cold world to battle for a livelihood. If this be the boasted civilization let us hark back to the so-called dark ages, conditions were scarcely worse. A GREAT MANY FOREIGNERS were anxious to go back to their fatherland and fight to keep the old flag from touching the ground—until they found that transports could be secured. Then they decided that Uncle Sam's back yard looked mighty good to play in after all. WHEN THE WAR IS OVER and the powers that be begin summing up what they really have, they will find a number of their African possessions have slipped from under them and are shifting for themselves. Peace be with them.

MERELY A SUGGESTION for Germany's national song: "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." NOW IF PRESIDENT WILSON hadn't been so conservative we might have had a little fireworks of our own. It is such a strain on the eyes to view pyrotechnics at a distance. UNCLE SAM UP-TO-DATE has been sitting peacefully in the saddle watching the fray despite the fact that the calamity howlers advise getting ready for war. A RACE PAPER IN NEW YORK asked its readers what was the best paper sold there. Without waiting for a reply we should say the Chicago Defender.

WHEN YOU CALL YOUR BEST LADY FRIEND "sugar" she's some sweet with that commodity as high as it is. NOCASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES When all the manure and filth have been removed from a neighborhood, the filies have no chance at all. If your neighbor is contented to live amid dirt and filth of his own making and won't clean up, tell the Department of Health about it; it may be that it can help you. It seems almost needless to say it, but as there are those who do not know, we repeat for the thousandth time, that the house fly is the most dangerous little insect known. It is born and bred in filth. It lives on fifth most of the time and carries filth wherever it goes. Keep it out of your home at any cost. Better than all, keep your premises clean and you will be practically free from filies. Do you sweat freely, these hot suytry August days? It is a fine thing if you do. Free, even copious perspiration means that your skin is doing its proper work and doing it well. For besides serving as a sort of armour for the body, the really important function of the skin is to help the body to get rid of a lot of poisonous waste matter, which, if retained in the system, would do great harm. The skin performs this important function through the pores or sweat glands. And this is why, putting it plainly, it is good for you to sweat. Another thing the skin does when all its pores are kept open and in good working order, is to absorb a good deal of life giving oxygen. Some people think the skin does not breathe; but it does just the same. If a human being's body were to be painted all over with a bronze paint, or any kind of paint for that matter, that would seal up the pores of the skin. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS August 18. Defender's Legal Helps:—I have a small store in which I sell notions and serve ice cream, and I wish to sell the same to a friend as I am going west to live, but this friend says that he will be responsible for all of my debts and only wishes to pay me a part of the money down and the balance later. Will you correctly inform me if he is stating the law as I never heard of the same? Answer: There is a recent statute of 1913 declaring void any sale, transfer or assignment in bulk of the major part or the whole of a stock of merchandise, or merchandise and fixtures or other goods and chattels of the vendor's business otherwise than in the regular and usual prosecution of the vendor's business as as provided by the said statute or law but excepting from such law those goods that are exempt by the general statutes, so we advise that you consult some attorney as to the sale of your store and goods. August 22, Defender's Legal Helps: —I went to a store to purchase a toy pistol for my boy but the storemen told me it was against the law to sell a toy pistol that can shoot blank cartridges. Is that really the law of this state? Answer: It is unlawful to sell, trade or give away any toy pistol that can shoot blank cartridges and may be punished by a fine of not less than $5.00 nor more than $25.00. Two Manhattan physicians, were enjoying the breeze from the front seat on the "hurricane deck" of a Riverside Drive bus one afternoon, when part of their conversation was overheard. It ran like this: "I performed an operation for appendicitis on the wife of a millionaire yesterday," said the stouter of the pair. "Yes," said the other. "What was she suffering from?"

Knew His Colleague CHICAGO AUGUST 29,1914 the chances are that the person so treated would die within a very few hours. Another thing the skin helps to do is regulate the temperature of the body. For example, when there is undue heat, in the body, the blood vessels in the skin become enlarged, thus allowing a free flow of blood to the outer surfaces of the body. This means radiation or a throwing off of the body heat, so that the body becomes cooler. People are not sunstruck when perspiring freely. On the other hand, when the weather is cold, the blood vessels in the skin contract and drive or force the blood into the deeper organs, where it is protected from the cold, and this helps to keep the body warm. Then, too, as all of us know, the skin has the sense of touch, the sense that tells us whether we are handling ice or a red hot iron. The value of this sense we all understand; without it we would be powerless to protect ourselves from harm. Also the skin is a mighty good indicator as to one's general health. As a rule when the blood is charged with impurities, the skin will show it in some form of eruption or inflammation. Because the skin plays so important part in keeping us well and strong, it should be given the best of care and attention. Here are some things you can do to keep your skin in good working order: Eat plain, wholesome food. Exercise daily and get plenty of fresh air and sunlight. Take a bath every day, allowed by a brisk rubdown with a cape towel. And when you sweat, don't worry. JUST A MINUTE Your Attention to a Little Matter of Considerable Importance—The Story of the Pink Slip. For more than two weeks we have been kept busy each day in sending out first class notices to our subscribers. We expect more than two more weeks to elapse before we go over our entire list. Therefore those who have not received theirs may expect to. Now, we ask that you be kind enough to treat this matter in a business like way. That is, if you are prepared to pay, act as you are requested to on the pink slip, if you are not prepared, spend enough of your valuable time to drop us a line or two and let us know when you will meet your obligations. Again if you do not care to subscribe longer it is just as important that you let us know that you desire your name taken off of our mailing list. Above all we ask that you do not treat this note with silence and then when your name is suspended on our list because of non-payment you become indignant and forgetting that you have received such a notice you complain of the failure of the office to apprise you of the fact. WAR! LOVE AND JUSTICE SLOGAN OF N. A. A. C. P. Alms and Work of National Uplift Association Graphically Described—Carnival to Providence Funds for Legal Bureau. Written for Time Defender. The N. A. C. P. in Chicago is making its initial effort toward fund raising. Because of this, renewed interest and a better understanding of the work to be accomplished is necessary to the general public. This organization is the officially recognized agent through which the interests of Afro-Americans are advanced civically and economically. It is time now that the people throughout the community shall all interest themselves in this movement to the extent of knowing what it stands for, what it is doing, and its needs. The organization wherever it is located means efficient service to the black man. In New York it aided in the enactment of the civil rights bill and since the enactment has been active in aiding its enforcement. In Washington members or alds of the N. A. A. C. P. have closely watched the bills presented before the house and senate, and when such have been to the detriment of the race they have been strenuously opposed. In many states are men of high standing and integrity—men of both races—who sacrifice time and finance to the advancement of a movement which is for the general welfare of humanity, but the Afro American in particular. In Illinois there is a strong civil rights bill which can be made to operate very effectively if its value is enhanced by attention to its violations and punishment for these violations is enforced. This cannot be done however, where inertia or false pride are predominating features. In the long run one man's problems are every other man's problems. Therefore only through individual effort can any lasting good be accomplished. The association undertaken to be the medium through which this good is disseminated. It has been run on a ground floor basis. The people who have worked for this movement have worked in most cases without fee, and when money has been paid out it has been the minimum amount for maximum service. The movement is one of love and justice and every person who feels that he has a grievance or who is interested in the general welfare of himself and people should give undivided interest to the N. A. A. G. B. C. The Chicago branch is now engaged in a campaign to strengthen that branch, and gain funds for an adjustment bureau to be established in that city this winter. Success will have far-reaching results. The association needs the encouragement of greater interest, not only of words, but of finances. Words are empty. It is so easy to say how much one believes in a thing if it entails no sacrifice. Failure for the festival would mean a direct slap in the face to a cause which is very similar to that of the abolitionists of 1858. Acquaint yourself with the movement of the organization. Send for literature of its achievements. There is an office at 701 West Fourteenth street. Know what it is doing. The work it is doing is for you and yours. Its successes are yours, and likewise its failures. Men and women of this race must put their shoulders to the wheel if any progress is to be made against the oppression which is so galling. Let every person who may see this article pass it on to a friend, speak of it to a neighbor, buy as many tickets as possible, aid by contributions if he can. The carnival is expensive in time, in labor and in money. High-salaried people are giving liberally of their time and means. It depends on you to join them in the effort. Lay aside personal reasons for not lending active support. This race must have a conservation of its forces if it is to get away from the lethargy that envelopes it. Only by continuous attack can we hope to lay the demons of prejudice and injustice. Only by proving our interest can we hope to encourage the people who are willing and prepared to further these attacks. Today we hear the bugle call: Come one; come all. It's curious, but the one who strikes you is the one that is broke. If he can get ten cents for nothing a man is generally willing to give up a chance to earn a dollar.
