Chicago awoke Monday morning to again bow its head in grief over another death, the responsibility for which perhaps will never be placed. This time death's wake was Stewart Jefferson, Jr., the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Jefferson, who had his life crushed out by a fall from a rotten porch on the fifth floor of the apartment building at 3663-65 Wabash avenue. For reckless disregard for the ordinary means of protection of life and limb this case stands out with appalling distinctness. The first one to reach the body was his father, who had also been attracted by the ries. He picked up the mangleled an bleeding body and ran frantically b Provident Hospital, but life was exist when he reached there, and it was o the slab in King & Hill's undertaking place that he finally laid his lifeless old. The fall fractured his skull and broke his right arm and leg. Another pahetic feature was injected into te case when it was learned that Ir. and Mrs. Jefferson were separated News of the death of her only son pristrated Mrs. Jefferson at her residence 3613 Rhodes avenue, and she is still under the care of a physician. The tragic accident occurred about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon and has involved itself into one of the most pathetic cases on record. Mr. Stewart Jefferson was in his apartments on the first floor when his little boy returned from Sunday school. The little girl asked permission and went upstairs to play with his little chum, Mary Evelyn Wagner. Evelyn, who is the same age, lives with her grandmother on the third floor, but he found her in the apartments of her aunt, Mrs. Yance Jackson, on the fifth floor. They went out on the porch to play. Here in jumping around he leaned against the broken slats and fell five stories to his death. The first knowledge anyone had of the accident was when little Evelyn ran screaming downstairs to her grandmother, crying "Grandma, the little boy has fallen through the hole." Her cries also attracted her aunt, who looked over the railing and saw the little form lying in the yard below. The coroner's quest over the case was held at the undertakers Monday afternoon. It was devoid of sensation, but the fact was routed out by many witnesses that theorists were in bad condition. Severi women testified that repeated coplaint had been made to both landed and janitor, but no attention had been paid to the complaints. Luther Co, the janitor, however, denied that coplaint had been made to him about the porches, and only reluctantly admitted that the entire building was inad condition. EWART JEFFESON FELL DEATH.

SATURDAY BOY TO DIE OTTEN Little Life p RID NO Cong Th Ba der } Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY RID CHICAGO OF ARMED BULLIES Police Should Enforce the Law of Search and Seizure and Clean Up the City Before Winter. With the coming of fall and the approach of the winter season the citizens of Chicago have already begun to fear the usual wave of assaults and holdups that annually follows in the wake of the pleasant weather, when the loafers and no-accounts in general have to seek other quarters than street corners and park benches, and quickly graduate into the city's terror—the armed bully. This is the season when the armed bullies flourish and the belated travelers are in fear of their lives. Now is the time for the police to drive the bullies out. They crowd the cheap saloons and pool rooms both night and day. It takes no extra keen intellect to spot these rowdies, for they are always full of importance and given to bragging, and should be rounded up, put to work or sent to the Bridewell. The attention of the police department is called to the laws embracing search and seizure of deadly weapons, and if the law cannot be interpreted to give them power enough to check the armed bullies, steps should be taken at once to change them or the city council should enact some that would. The armed bullies must go. GERMANS UNFAIR TO BLACK TROOPS WITH ENEMIES Dumdum Bullets Tabooed by Other Powers Used Only on Schwarz, Says German Captain. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) London, Sept. 18.—The protest by the allies that Germany was using dumdum bullets has brought forth the remarkable statement that the forbiden article of destruction is used only on the schwarz, the German term for black. The statement was made to your correspondent this week by a cavalry captain whose utterances are always given weight. He took occasion to explain that it was nothing but the Inborn hatred that his government had for the fearless black men allied with the allies that prompted the use of the tabooed missiles. Congress Abolishes Narrow Thoroughfares So Long a Bane to Afro-American Residents of the Nation's Capital. Special to The Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., Sept. 18.—The act passed by Congress abolishing the alleys in this city will be a Godsod to the race. In no city in America are the alleys so dirty, insanitary and disgraceful as the ones here. The low and debauched of both races were harbored in these slums and many crimes have been committed without punishment. Washington in time will become a "city beautiful." It will take the race from the alleys to well-paved streets which will be looked after by street superintendents and they will live in better homes, and the city will become one of comfort for all its citizens.

Remove from Race That Stigma That Has Made our Women the Scapegoat of Civilization—Join the Crusade. By Otis Gans Fletcher Open ye your eyes, my race. See ye the foundation upon which you have been established from your earliest existence in this country. Although you are a product of this great and civilized republic, which enunciates through and by that fairest and grandest of all civil documents, the constitution of the United States of America, equal justice and protection to all of its citizens, this, our fatherland, whose flag is supposed to float "oer the home of the brave and the land of the free," has suffered a new race, which in two hundred and fifty years grown from an experiment of blood and amalgamation to ten million of human souls, to be established upon a foundation that no race can long enjoin upon—a foundation of dishonor and shame. We are unwilling to believe that this great and generous government approves a disposition on the part of any power, civil or moral, to use that influence to the grave detriment of one particular race of her citizens, and yet for some unknown cause, and to our very great discomfort and embarrassment, those men to whom civilization looks for enlightenment, the men whom this great people has accepted as authority, have taken this new race of people, and so far as their consideration of this race is concerned have sunk it into the deepest depths of degradation by changing the old English term "wench," which meant a young girl or serving maid, so as to in this country at a low, the prostitute or Negress in the United States. Thus a new race of people, instead of a tutored and elevated to the highest stage of enlightenment and civilization, is overshadowed with shame and disgrace at a time when we really did not know what shame was; and how unfair to strike at the womanhood of a race that had been given no chance to prove itself. I call upon the civilized world to imagine, if you can, the feeling of deep remorse and resentment that must weigh upon our hearts and almost crush our manhood. How long must honorable womanhood suffer such indignities? We view a wench, according to the United States definition of the term, as being the most disgraceful of human beings, and even lower than any dumb brute; so we insist that the public usage of the term wench be so changed in its application to eliminate the honorable womanhood of all races. No moral woman should be so branded. Remove from our race that stigma that has made us the scapegoat of civilization: that has robbed us of moral standing before the world; that has caused our own citizens to ruthlessly close the doors of hope in our very faces; that has ever given unnaturalized foreigners pre-eminence over us and caused them to frown upon us as a people, feeling that we had no responsibility or rights that even a stranger or orange land should respect. We beg won to realize our natural —RAYMOND POINCARE, President of the Republic of F ELOISE B PITER AND CORRE --- We did not immigrate here, but were bred, born and grew up here.

Those planning to attend night school will be interested to know that a plan is on foot to make this season's pupils pay a small fee. Lack of funds with which to purchase materials is the reason given for the proposed tuition charge at the evening classes of the public schools. The tax to be imposed will be light, not more than $1 in the elementary classes and not to exceed $2 for those attending the high school classes. "This is a new departure, but it seems to be the only way to meet the emergency," said Superintendent Schools Ella Flagg Young in recommending the measure. "We have no materials for use in the night schools and no money with which to buy them. Most of the men and women who attend night school are wage earners, and I do not believe such a fee will be a hardship on them. The social centers, it is understood, will be kept closed until January or February. 200 COLORED MEN AND WOMEN GO TO FRENCH WEST INDIES. New Orleans, Sept. 18.—During the last month over two hundred men, women and children have quietly left the various plantations and country side for Martinique, one of the French West Indies. For more than two months this order of things has been going on, numbers of farms finding it hard to get help. During the week it was learned by a roundabout source that the rail men were going to French possessions because of better treatment.

Paris, France, September 18. And so the French black soldier is once more at grips with the white German regular. Four and forty years have passed since last they met on the field of battle and on French soil. Then it was that the turcos in the Franco-Prussian war drove back the German infantry with heavy loss at the battle of Wissenburg on August 4, 1870, while again, two days later, the turcos, together with the spahi—more of France's black troops from Algeria—under General MacMahon cut and hacked their way through the solid German ranks at the bloody battle of Woerth. Heavily veiled as all the military plans and movements of the French republic have been since the declaration of war a few weeks ago, the outside world has not been permitted to know what projects, even many months ago, and now, have been made by the French government to utilize her black troops in the conflict with Germany and Austria. Early in the year, it is true, several companies of black regulars—trailleaders from Senegal, Africa—were brought to Paris ostensibly to give millions of French subjects who had never seen their black troops an opportunity to look at them and see for themselves what strapping, business-like looking fighting men these trained soldiers from the other side of the earth were—men who were devoted to the French flag and ready to die for the tricolor, as thousands of their predecessors have done both in France and Germany and in Africa in the last half century. When Black Troops Visited Parla. Their visit to the French republic, however, had a double object. The big black fighters, who were received with the greatest enthusiasm in the French capital and elsewhere in the republic—a number of those who had of late years distinguished themselves in fighting rebellious natives in French African possessions being decorated by the French government with medals for bravery—on their return to their native country were filled with praise for the treatment they had received in France, thus increasing the spirit of loyalty and zeal among the black and yellow native French regulars who were not fortunate enough to have been selected to make the trip. The native population also was regaled with stories of the strength and power of the French government and also told of the hospitable treatment they received and of the beauties and wonders of the French capital. It was all seed well sown and which the French, with their well-known tact, diplomacy and farsightedness, well knew would in time bring tenfold returns. be bee ted, western Pa hu. ck and French newhere, m soldiers m the mr n, are e eir anr e comr Indeed the returns have bee than had been anticipated, the present war with Germ menced the war office at Pa advised that literally hu thousands of French black and subjects in the various French sessions in Africa and elsewhere, m of them already trained soldiers others who have in them the ms of excellent fighting men, are a beside themselves in their an go to France to fight the com emy.

She has deprived herself of the necessities of life in order that they might be fitted for her duties as substitute. She has prayed over the health, she would not thoughtlessly receive the blessings that she, born in slavery, was deprived of. How Shall We Profit? How shall we of this generation of promise, born in a time when opportunity knocks daily at our door, profit by the advantages which our old hardworking mothers have made possible for us? Shall we make of ourselves noble, helpful Christian laborers for the world's work, or shall we follow the herd of senseless, godless lawbreakers who offend modesty, disregard motherhood, annul matrimony, sanction new-fangled beliefs and later-day creeds which slight the well-grounded though old-fashioned truths of the sacred Bible? Will the children of our land get the band that broke the chain of bonding? Will this young generation of a deeply religious people be ungrateful to their children, we forgetting the sweet name of Jesus that our mothers in their groomings and supplication breathed so many times a day?

JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH. Another conference year has passed and its achievements entered upon the pages of history. St. John's members have only to review the pleasant happenings of the past two years under the leadership of God and their estimable pastor, Dr. R. E. Wilson, to receive encouragement for more and better service. The motto "More and better service" was for 1914," has been closely observed, and the results are very plainly seen. St. John, two years ago, was in a most critical condition. Debts were heavy, and added to this was an outstanding mortgage of $1,700. Now St. John is as a great cahn after an awful storm. For everything is in the best of shape and moving toward perfection. Dr. Wilson has already had his vision of the new building which he hopes to have on the press. He has been said that men who ever complained anything great had visions. So, if this be true, St. John will have that new structure. Last Tuesday evening, the Englewood Dramatic club celebrated their first anniversary. A splendid program was rendered and a goodly number turned out to greet them. Special mention is due the Misses Daisy and Brettematte Wright, who did credit to themselves in rendering so beautifully their parts, which were given them upon short notice.

It is wonderful because it brings to the original curls without tearing them. ~, =e \ Ee : lees: cae ote OO ea : Re THE CHICAGO: sENpER * pee SSS «cae WA farm... ence!

Another honor falls gracefully upon the shoulders of Grace Presbyterian baseball team. For fourth time she has won the championship of the Presbyterian Brotherhood, when it defeated Bethany in a hard-fought game, which they captured, 5 to 2. Today they play against the winners of the championship of the north division for the championship of Cook County. The playing of Grace team this year has been better than ever. Every man on the team deserves special mention. They were guided this year as usual by Mr. Bronston, "father of all the boys." Grace thinks so much of their team that as usual a banquet will be given them in the Sunday school room at an early date. It is said that Mies Bertha Moely, a recent graduate of the University of Chicago, and Mies Beatrice Lee from the same institution, will deliver laudatory addresses at Sunday school Sunday. Each member of the team will be asked to rise and show themselves to the school. Not only is Grace proud of this team, but also the citizens of Chicago. These young men have demonstrated that manliness, character and principle can be exhibited upon the ball field as in a church or parlor. Rev. Moses Jackson, pastor of the church, smiled when he heard the news, and Supt. Pierce was "tickled to death," and exhibited the ball last Sunday which was played with in the victorious game. The Defender—their best friend—wishes them continued success. COUNTY UNION CLUB TO PASS ON MEN FOR OFFICE Men of Character, Record and Fitness Will Be Recommended for the Voters' Suffrage Nov. 3. COMMITTEE NAMED Investigation Will Be Without Political Blas—Object Is to Present Facts About Candidates for Their Consideration. The County Union for the Election of Better Local Officials has been formed, to aid in getting more capable men for local offices, the establishing of higher ideals of public service and securing a greater degree of efficiency. More than a hundred nominations were recently made at the primaries for president and members of the board of y commissioners, trustees of the sanitary disrict, and judges of the municipal court. Confronted by the big ballot, anyone wishing to vote free from party prejudice for the best man or these offices finds it almost impossible to know the qualifications of all the candidates and to vote intently. It is well recognized that the administration of public affairs in ook county has not measured up to reputable standards of efficiency. The service which we have been getting from local officials has been seriously impaired by national and state politics. There should be no Democratic, for men or Progressive issues in local public affairs. The County Union will undertake a rough and impartial investigation if the character record and fitness of the nominees for the offices named andlish the same, with such recidations as seem to be justified, investigation and report will be without political bias, with the object of presenting the facts to voters for their consideration. officers of the County Union are: lly, president; Hoyt King, it; Edmund D. Hulbert, alvin Fentress, secretary; ole, chairman of advisory B. Pond, chairman of nitee; Harry A. Wheelman of finance committee.

The secretary of the Matrimony club has decided to take one of Minnesota's most charming girls for a wife. Mr. Walter Anderson will become a benedict next June. He said to a few of his friends Tuesday, "I can't be the secretary of an organization which stands for the marrying of young men and then remain single myself." He told a Defender reporter that the girl was Miss Gertrude Howard of St. Paul, who is now teaching in Texas. The wedding will not be complete unless Dr. Harry Garry is the best man. The question now is, when will President Garnes step off? Mr. Anderson is one of Chicago's most progressive young real estate men, a member of St. Paul and Anderson, Terrell, 3512 State of Missouri. Miss Howard comes from one of the families of St. Paul. She passed through the city last week en route to her school in Texas. The wedding is expected to be very elaborate. Mr. Anderson has begun to plan for his bridal party. A special train, it is said, will leave from Chicago. Girls' Not Too Well Paid.

"NIGGER BROWN" MEANING DRESS GOODS Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley Writes Marshall Field & Company About Advertising Goods with Obnoxious Name—Portland, Ore., Has Same Trouble. The following letter from Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley of the Douglass Center, is published without comment: Sept. 16, 1914. Marshall Field & Co., Chicago Gentlemen: I am told that your firm is advertising and has on sale a new line of dress goods called "Nigger Brown." May I ask whether this name was selected by the manufacturer or the retail dealer? In view of the large number of colored people in Chicago, from whom a firm like yours must draw much valuable custom, and also in the interests of justice and courtesy, do you not think such a name unfortunate for the reason that it reflects unkindly and very gratuitously upon a large class of deserving and self-respecting citizens, who have much to hear through their descent from slavery and prejudicial feeling against them. It would gratify all thoughtful and considerate people, black and white, if some other name could be substituted. The enclosed circular explains our particular interest in matters of this kind, and we trust that the motive of this letter will not be misunderstood. Yours truly, CELIA PARKER, WOOLEY. Same Trouble in Portland. From The Advocate, published in Portland, Ore., we clip the following: "Some of the merchants of Portland, in order to show their contempt and utter disrespect for colored people are humorously offering for sale a material for women's dresses which they are pleased to call "Nigger Brown." While the colored people are not "Niggers" any more than some white people, nevertheless some ignorant white people and otherwise, refer to the black race as such, especially when they want to humiliate and insult them. The Afro-American people in a number of the large Eastern cities have successfully worked up boycotts against these stores which advertise "Nigger Brown" and the stores wisely discontinued the sale, under the hated name. The colored people of Portland are advised to do likewise." This-peculiar kind of drygoods with the nasty name, appeared on the market last year. Chicago Defender reporters, whose African descent was noticeable, could not find any on sale among those of the delinquent, nor inquiry among those of the delinquent, who could take delight in purchasing the drygoods with the sensational name, Marshall Field & Company's reply will be published as soon as received.

Services were well attended. In the evening Dr. Lee of Marion, Iowa, delivered a very stirring sermon from Lake iv: 7.

C., for the Colored soldiers who fought in the American wars, which was carried unanimously, the same to be offered to the sixty-four congress. Also a monument in all Southern states for the soldiers of the various regiments, who numbered 165,000. At the close of his sermon he read a poem he had written, entitled "The War of the Colored," and the president of the first Colored college in Atlanta, Ga., for Colored ministers. Mrs. Jennie Waltse Brown gave a reading which was greatly appreciated. Rev. Peterson spoke of his pastorate during the two years he has been in Cedar Rapids. He has done good work, which speaks for itself. He has been assisted by his amiable wife, who was president of the Woman's Missionary Society.

Smith and Tribble and Shuck-D-Arville and Dutton closed a whirlwind bill. Brooks and Bowen, two of the classiest connells in vaudeville today, and two favorites who were seen at the Monogram two years ago, are in Chicago playing at the Palace Theater. The American critic of Tuesday, said: "The unexpected, which gives the sip: 'To horse racing, baseball and vaudeville, developed in the appearance of Brooks and Bowen, two spots of joy,' who, making their first bow at the Palace, gave a piano sketch that ended in a riot.

I think we can ve too much credit to our own donna and appreciate Ler wise ment in bringing to us a Sunday sermon recital. These high class cents I am told are extremely popular in London, where all of the great artists appear. I often read during the season of the coming of noted divas such as Mimes. Sembrich, Schumann, Hinkel, Tetrazinell, Lehman and others for Sunday recitals. A given gift at home and from abroad, I am sure will overtax the capacity of our own little playhouse, the Pekin, as I hear there are many calls for seats already. I am yours very truly, MRS.

ALL NATIONS WELCOME Structure, Model of Builder's Art, Seats 650—Has Modern Ventilating and Heating System—10 Exits and Every Requisite for Comfort. Another tangible sign that business is going South is the announcement that the Atlas theatre, 411-15-17 State street, will open its doors to the public Saturday, Sept. 26. Attention has been called before in these columns to the rapid growth of this section of State street, and the completion of this theater will add another to what in time will be a very attractive block. Many New Features. The Atlas is an ornate structure finished in green and white. It will have a seating capacity of 650 and an improved ventilating system will constantly supply the patrons with pare air. Among the attractive features will be a $5,000 organ in a special loft, the latest idea in a sanitary bubbling drinking fountain, the wash rooms with hot and cold water. The lady beautiful will find every requisite site in these toilet rooms, and a number of mirrors are conveniently located. Mirrors Galore W. L. Newhouse, the architect, has been generous with mirrors as the lobby has them on both sides. Particular attention has been paid to the lighting system and the plant installed represents an outlay of $1,200. The moving picture operating room is considered the best and safest in the city. There are ten exits facing the west. This is a decided improvement over other houses where just the reverse is the order. Southsliders are indebted to Mr. D. A. Dooly for this convenient new theater. Mr. Dooly is a well-known business man, having spent many years in the hotel business. Up until two years ago, when he gave up that line of work, he was known as the dean of hotel men in Chicago. He began his business career in 1876 and continued up until 1910, when he took a short vacation and made a trip to California. He has secured T. E. Murphy, an experienced theatrical man, as manager. For All the People. "Here is my advertisement," said Mr. Dooly to a representative of The Chicago Defender one day this week. "The doors will be open Saturday. Sept. 26, and everybody is welcome.

Miss Sailie Lee Johnstone is the stellar headliner in the cabarets. She is a gifted little Cantarite, who formerly played on the Recital stage in her deserted for a more lucrative cabaret show, succeeded in making a big popular hit without sacrificing the high standards of her art. With the daintest of daly personalities, a voice of clever beauty, Miss Johnstone has won an unusual but legitimate success. No more attractive singing and actions has been seen here, and the public, quick to appreciate the exceptional, has flocked to hear her. Her future is full of promise. I predict a star out of that sweet piece of humanity. Miss Caroline Lillison, the sweet, tantalizing singer, so cute, dances like a boy, and is a good musician also. She can play the xylophone and piano very cleverly. Her entertaining qualities are above par, so bohemian, very chic. She is ably assisted by Mr. Wm. Rivers, a very high class baritone singer and the Elite Augmented Orchestra. An evening of enjoyment at this popular resort. At the Grand Theater the Tossing Austins are very funny and clever jugglers. Barto and Clark, with nice comedy singing and dancing a little skit. A small play by Wm. K. Saxton and Company in "The Buyer," fair. Shek D'Arville-Sutton, in "The Man Next Door," with scenery to help depict their act. Jack Smith and Andrew Tribble, two first class, real funny comedians, closed the bill. Both are stars. Miss Ethel Ridley, now vibrating in unison with the muses at the fashionable Ellwood Cafe, dispelling all inharmonious thoughts, tingles with glory from an appreciative audience where she romps around in triumphant success. She proceeds straightaway to imbue her audience with that sweet disposition which is an asset to those who happen to possess the same, assisted by Miss Salle Loving. Should you look at that sweet, tantalizing, brown skin, round, baby face, like an apple of the Ozark mountains. All eyes are centered on those wincere Misses as they more than focus Chance, the trap drummer, who plays like the Ozark. They plunge headlong between the song numbers with graceful motions in dancing and Ethel can dance too. At the Old Monogram is a first-class show—every act is good. Headed by the race's greatest comedienne, Miss Ora Crisswell, with Lewis and Lewis singing and dancing, Gertrude and Price, a very clever team, and the dancing demons, the Stewart Brothers, have no equals. The popular Lincoln Theater manager has been called to San Francisco, Cal., on business, for three weeks. On his return he will spring a surprise to his many patrons that visit that popular house. Arbiters of a delicate taste, who set forth on expeditions of pleasure on the stroll should not miss that detectable resort, Plaza Cafe, and hear that dream model fashion plate (just a bunch of fluffy ruffles of face, silks and satins hung on her in a cubist style) Miss Rebecca Allen. The beautiful, teasing, brown skin sends ultra violet rays of sunshine through her audience, a living picture with such grace as a sweet girl graduate, with deocrum of manners of a well raised child, and her gyrations and evolutions in dancing as a winsome queen, assisted by Mr. Oscar Holden, the pianist. Both clever. Miss Ruth Belmont, the star cabaretist, who is so beautiful with a superb form, simply a Parisian model, with those pretty large doll eyes, like an enchantress, charming personality, soft spoken voice, sings beautifully and blends into amusement in herself, assisted by Mr. Jets, a first-class entertainer, with augmented orchestra, at the Chateau Garden, the show place of the city. Monogram No. 2 has the stock company holding the boards in a play entitled "One Night Stand." Cleverly acted and portrayed. All-star cast on this bill good. Listen! Look! You are doomed to perdition! The evil spirit will haunt you. It was hallowed by burying alive 400 virgins at the sacred mosque, to be redeemed in cestasy of fantasms of bones. Phantom of living, unseen spirits. Look! There stands the Ah-jah. Yes, Esmeralda, the Ahjah is coming. Brooks and Bowen at Palace Theater say as big time you get in America some acts. The reason you could not get in Mrs. Rosa Lee Tyler's last week for your paper was on account of the death of her mother. She intends installing genuine Mexican Chili Con Carne with her ice cream and other improvements. Watch the Defender for announcements. You can always get the Defender there. Miss Hazel Elliott and Miss Lottie Merry makes as much fuss at the Electro Cafe as a bevy of pretty belles. Now the pleasure seeker, who is not sophisticated in the tantrum of amusements, with something apart from the mummy kind, as there is no better entertainment in the clean, classy vein than what that pretty little Hazel pulls off, especially when she pulls off those selected numbers as sisted very much by that "nymph of the paradise" Lottie, a very spoiled child, but plays the piano beautifully. Very clever, those sweet girls. Miss Edith Adams, the winsome and smiling Venus at the popular Alsa Cafe, could not be excelled for decorum, so cute and polite. Let her wait on you. WOMEN WIN HONOR IN REPUBLICAN RANKS Mrs. Julia Seldon, of Twenty-One Selected as Delegates to Pooria Convention. The women voters of Chicago are bullion this week because the Republican county convention has given them substantial recognition. Tuesday, at the Hotel La Salle, twenty-one women were named as delegates the state convention held in Pooria City. Among them was Mrs. Julia Seldon, 5011 Federal street, representing the Thirteenth ward. Mrs. Seldon, who has been active in local politics, was the only woman of the race appointed. A GENUINE POMADE Hay's Hair Pomade is not a vase line, but a real Pomade. It softens and straightens the hair and holds it in place. Ask your druggist for Hay's Hair Pomade, or get it at the Crown Pharmacy, 31st and State streets. Use a real hair Pomade. Ask for Hay's. ALONG THE NORTH SHORE LAKE FOREST NOTES. Lake Forest, Ill., Sept. 18.—One of the largest and swelliest events of the season in Lake Forest was the birth-dancing party given in honor of the Milwaukee Ninth Worths on Friday evening, Sept. 11, at Stuarter's hall. Fifty young society folks of the North Shore greeted the two hostesses with happy birthday greetings and a host of presents. The hall, pretty decorated with leaves from the woods and the crimson shaded lights, formed a splendid background for the pretty, young and graceful dancers. The hours from eight to eleven almost seemed entirely too short when the pianist struck up "Home, Sweet Home." Among those present were the Misses Lillian Smith, Clara Belle Lille, Kathryn Twiggs, Minnie Robertson, Hazel Bush, Messrs. Horace Graves, Wilson Miller, Wilbur Twiggs, Donald and Charles Cannon, Adam Perry and many others from Evanston, also Misses Atlas Wilson, Nowell Hunter, Messrs.

BOY KILLED BY FALL FROM PORCH (Continued from page 1.) Porches All Rotten. The rotten condition of the porches of this building is the most fragrant case of neglect seen in Chicago in many days. The condition of the fifth floor in particular borders on criminal carelessness. Monday morning a reporter for the Chicago Defender, another newspaper man and the undertakers' assistant thoroughly examined it. Many of the slats were loose and be easily moved by hand or foot. The opening through which little Stewart Jofferson could measure twelve inches. This hole, as can be plainly seen in the picture, is large enough for an adult to fall through. Tenants Are Scolded. Another visit on Tuesday morning showed that a rough attempt had been made to patch up that rickety fifth floor, but there is every chance for additional loss of life unless the porches on the entire building are thoroughly repaired or replaced with new ones. It was also learned that someone had been around and scolded the tenants who testified at the Inquest. Mr. Jefferson was not represented by counsel, but it is reported that he has secured legal advice. Funeral services over the remains were held Thursday. Father Morris of St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church officiated. Burial was at Mount Olivet Cemetery. OPI. South Side housewives are praising Opi, the new labor saving compound. They recommend a trial and declare that if you give it a thorough one you will never be without it. Put half a teaspoonful in your dish water, using little or no soap, and see how your glassware and dishes shine. Notice particularly how easy it is to clean greasy pots and pans. It will not injure the skin, but leaves it nice and soft. For the laundry the results are surprising, and practically does away with rubbing. Opi saves half the labor, half the soap, whitens and greatly prolongs the life of the clothes. Will not injure the finest fabrics. See advertisement in another column. Serious Waste of Money Because of the improper drying of corn a vast amount of money is wasted in the payment of freight. It is estimated that 436,682 tons of water are shipped with corn every year. This would fill 14,556 freight cars of 60,000 pounds capacity, making a train more than 110 miles long. Hard for a Man to Believe Mrs. Cutler of Vancouver proved by the registration of a pedometer that she had covered 400 miles in a month in walking about her kitchen and living rooms while performing her household duties. WAUKEGAN. ```markdown ``` (Continued from page 1.) Colonel Marchand, Colonel Bratier, Captain Guichard and any number of other officers have borne witness to the courage and fighting qualities of the black and yellow French native soldier. Only a couple of years ago General Lanyette, with a mixed white and black force of French troops, be- sieged at Fez, Morocco, fought the Moors for months until relieved by a strong French column, in which also native troops predominated. In Algerians, in Timouctou, in Dahomea on the ivory gold coast, on the Barbary on Tunis, Senegal and in many other places in Africa the French native soldier has held in many ways he is fully equal to the white soldier. There they have served and are today serving as turcis, trai- leurs, spahls, foot and horse, and also as artillerymen. Under the decree of December 28, 1900, when a reorganization of the French colonial army took place, it was provided that it should be composed of European and native troops, organized chiefly for the occupation and defense of the colonies under the French protectorate outside of Algiers and Tunis. It was charged primarily with military operations in the colonies, but also to co-operate, if necessary, in the defense of France itself, and to take part in military expeditions outside of French territory. Under this arrangement the right of the home government to call upon the native forces for service elsewhere than in the made clear, while the fact that the war office has resolved to make use of military from French colonial possessions wherever else they may be needed is proved by the presence of turcos in the fighting about Muehausen only a short time ago. "It was like hell let loose," is the way an officer of the French Zonaves described the charge of the turcs, France's black troops, at the battle of Charleroi. Telling of the terrific charges of the bikes the officer declared they fought at which two quarters with the Germans that many of the men got hold of the noses of the enemy with their teeth. Ignore Death-Dealing Fire. "When the fighting was at its height our colonel suddenly ordered "Give the turcos free rein," said the officer, "Then the avalanche began. It was like hell let loose. They tore along the German batteries for a full mile. They were chanting 'The Marsellasse'; but no man could even hear the man next to him in the ranks, so terrible was the pounding of the guns. Infantry and artillery poured shot into them and they fell by the dozen, but dashed on. When they were within fifteen yards of the batteries the Germans had to cease firing to avoid shooting their own guards. Use Bayonet. "A bloody bayonet fight then followed. When a man was bayonetting a German and could not release his weapon at once he would wiph out his revolver and shoot another. In the meantime a companion by his side would be attacking the bayoneted foe with the butt of his rifle. The soldiers of the kaiser were giants, but they fell like files. Blood splashed everywhere. I must have shot a dozen with my own revolver. The remnant of the German command finally fled for their lives, but not many escaped. "When our survivors got back to Charlerol we lost more than a score when the Germans mounted a bowtie in the church steeple, despite the fact that the building was flying the red cross flag." Never Lynch In France. President Palincare after addressing the deputies at length got to his climax when he said: "There is nothing in all France too good for the Negro," and I am glad to say, and may God continue my people to be able to say, that we have never lynched a man, white or black, in this republic; we have always tried to lift men up and we have not lost one thing by our act.

A few of the many features are 18 electric blow and 5 exhaust fans—125 electric lights encased in shaded bulbs to blaze the way for an evening's pleasure; also accommodating 800 people on the floor. The floor has been the topic of conversation amongst dancing masters, the boards having been laid in a circle. Music will be furnished by Wilson's Orchestra, Garfield Wilson personally conducting the beautiful strains. As instructors for those who wish to learn any steps in dancing we have Mr. Hedpath, Mr. Bacon and Mike Williams. Instructions from 8:00 to 9:30 FINDING OF TWO MEN WHO MET AND COMPARED NOTES. Respective Helpmeets Assure Them selves That They Have Captured Prizes in the Matrimonial Sea —Have They? Mrs. McPee and my wife are bosom friends; that is, they are close friends; or, at least, my wife is close. They are as bosomy bosom friends as it is possible for friends to be, remembering as we do that the Slamsees twins were the only successful, sure-enough bosom friends that ever lived. And being such friends, they often have either McPee or on the grill. Strange to see one insists she captured an ideal husband, yet each thinks the choice of the other unwarranted. Peculiar creatures, women; well, curious, at any rate. Mrs. McPee says an ideal husband is one that never wears out. Meaning his affections, obviously. My major fraction adds to this: One that never wears out his clothes. Meaning that thereby he has more money to which to buy his wife as well. Remarks one: The ideal husband never complains at expense. Subjoins the other: Only his own. Says one: The ideal husband will stand the acid test. And comes the acquiescent amendment: Even when the acid is in his coffee. (Well, some might be glad to.) The ideal husband, take it from one of the wives, never makes his wife feel small, except—to quote the other—when he promises to keep her in his mind while she is on her vacation. They agree on this: The ideal husband is rare. And McFee and I are ideal husbands! He and I sat together the other night and compared notes. He told me that his She told him and my She told him of me, and I told him what my She told him his She told her of him. And then we swapped husbands of what our She told us of the other's He, and what our She told us of ourselves. We began the session with an epigram, broadened it to a squab, widened it to a short story, and lengthened it to a serif, to be continued at such times as we felt the need of rest from the domestic entanglements. We have proceeded far enough with the thesis to be able to get its gist. Simply, we are merely married men. To avoid quarrels and discussions, we let our wives have their own way. Our wives are wise wives. Frequently they haunt the battle flag; then we yield instantly. That's what makes an ideal husband—or else one of them does not know anything about it. Ideal husbands may be rare, but they are not too long. Their wives usually and quickly do them brown to a turn—Judge. Hotels the Same the World Hotels the Same the World Over. An American hotel manager has spent seven weeks touring the European hotels—which is all that some seekers after pleasure can accomplish without being paid for it. Says the hotel man: "I made my first acquaintance with plovers' eggs, which I was told cost something like a dollar apiece, and a few other dishes not common to bills of fare over here, but in general I found that the eating in hotels was pretty much on the same lines as here, with the standard of what constitutes a first-class hotel in Europe and in the United States was pretty much the same." This is one of the things that makes conventional travel without any definite object so deadly dull for intelligent people. People dress very much alike at hotels in the temperate zone, and their conversation is about equally insipid, and they eat very much the same indigestible food. Usually it is bad food (called by French names) and priced rather high—Collier's lawyer. "Our Books the Best of Us" George Meredith said this, refusing an interviewer who wished to account of his personality to the public. May not the nation as a whole echo the saying? The books that the nation gives to the world are the best of it—when indeed the books are true ones; and alas! when they are the other sort, shall not he whose pen was concerned regret that he sided with the worst of his countrymen? Here is why the Anglo-Saxon may stand firm in hope. Whatever the faults of insularity, provincialism, of spread eagleism or whatever you will, the great books written in the English language speak the best of these nations, and give reassurance of that which lies at the heart of each.—Mary Stanhope. To Write Well For a man to write well, there are required three necessities: To read the best authors, observe the best speakers and much exercise of his own style. In style, to consider what ought to be written, and after what manner. He must first think and excoriate his matter, then choose his words and examine the weight of either. Then take care in placing and ranking both matter and words, that the composition be comely, and to do this with diligence, and often. No matter how slow the style be at first, so be labored and accurate; seek the best, and be not glad of the forward conceals or first words that offer themselves to us, but judge of what we invent, and order what we approve.—Ben Johnson. No. Prayer for Her A little city girl had been taught to say a morning prayer in verse., two lines of which were: "All through the day, I humbly pray, Be thou my guard and guide." One day, when she had finished, electricized her mother by exclaiming: "Mamma, that's the most foolish prayer I ever heard. What do I want a garden guide for? We haven't any garden." Jabbed Himself "Why, Mr. Newrbh, what is the matter? Have you been in a fight?" No, they marks around my chin was cut. So bad to bind it eatin' with my knife." Some Men. Some men are naturally so dishonest at they regard it as a triumph when iy cheat themselves. would only I'm afraid my friends d v ' I gave up the gay life, "ttt" old." Home of Beautiful Women, Fast Horses and Fine Spirits Brought Into the Limelight. The Change "It used to be," declared old Brother Bombershay, "dat when Bruder Mauley and his wife was u-squabbin' dey had it up and down like a see-saw, sometimes one of 'em gittin' de best of it and den de yudder. But now, bless goodness, dey des goes 'round and 'round like a merry-go-round, and nobody kin prognosticate which is ahead. —Puck. Worda A well educated person who has been at high school and a university uses from 3,000 to 4,000 words, but the average individual can get along with 1,000. Shakespeare made use of words like "dollars" and "money" used. By actual use the Hebrew Testament says all that it has to say with 5,642 words—"Popular Magazine, Utilizing School Grounds Making the school grounds a miniature colony, with the pupils busily engaged in all kinds of productive occupations, is the device of the Birley House school, an open-air school in England. --- YOUNG DOCTOR TOOK COUNSEL AND PROFITED THEREBY. Found That There Are Many Who Seek the Touch of a Healing Hand, but It Must Be Skillfully 1. While yet King Woodrow ruled over the people a certain young man went forth from the place where physicians are taught and betook him unto a city, saying, 2. Verily, I have studied long and diligently and spent much gold gaining wisdom in my calling. Now I will heal the sick and lame and get me great riches and high repute among men. 3. Whereupon he sought out a room near the marketplace and hung out a shingle to proclaim his calling. 4. And in due season it came to pass that the sick came to him for counsel, and many were healed and went upon their way rejoicing. 5. And it came to pass that many women with gold ornaments and pleasing incense came to seek his counsel and be healed of divers things. 6. But with one accord they came not the second time unto him. 7. Whereupon he mourned exceedingly, for he said unto himself, Alas and alas: Without the favor of the rich ones, I can never gain either wealth or high repute. 8. And he sought an elder doctor, sorrowing, and spake unto him, saying. 9. Behold, that art high in favor of these wealthy dames, and they bestow much fees upon them, while I, who excel the in knowledge, get but a single whack at them, and they return no more. 10. And the elder physician winked the other eye, saying. 11. Much learning hath made thee mad. Remember that when a woman say she is ill, she desirest not the truth, but much attention. 12. And it came to pass that when next a rich woman called upon the young physician, he rebuked her not, saying, a few nights' sleep and a cup of hot water before breakfast will restore thee. 13. Nay, he shook his head sadly and gave her many pills of dough and sugar, saying. 14. Get thee to another clime and take time case among the palms, and keep the body supple by much dancing and bathing on the beach. 15. And, behold, she showered much gold upon him and signed him for her family doctor by the year. 16. And likewise it beffell with many more who came, and the young man waxed fat and gouty with much practice. 17. And he reflected often, saying within himself, Verly, it is not only the showmongers that falm must give the public what it wants. Selah—Judge. Chauffeurs Are Kicking "A wealthy widow elopes with a chauffeur," or "an heiress elopes with her father's chauffeur" is a familiar headline in the New York papers. The chauffeur is a knight errant. Surely there was never a knight more errant than he. He is the wizard of the hammer and wrench. It is proper that he should displace Vulcan in the affections of Venus. If women once gladly ran away with the coachman, by reason of the coachman's mastery over that addurable horse, the horse, how much more susceptible they must be to the transcendant fascinations of the modern chauffeur. There is nothing petty or squalid about the chauffeur except the strange title. The "chauffeur"—a stoker, or man who makes a fire under a boiler; it is not merely undescriptive, it is just being on to what the title means and they believe that since they have been called to play the hero role they should be known by something fine and imposing. They suggest that they be called the charioteer, or auriga. His Future. "The child is otherwise. In perfect health," said the great physician, "but I regret to say that he is afflicted with a curious mental deficiency." "Explain!!" gronned the unhappy father. "The pictorius muello of the medulla eizkinkus has never appeared in his brain. That is the nerve that develops the mathematical powers. To your son figures and numbers, order and system will be a conglomerate mass of nothingness." "Then he can't work in MY office." said the father sadly, "but he ought to be great at making up the summer train schedules for suburban railroads."—Washington Post. How to Banish Flies General Vaillard, president of the health board of the French army, addressed the Royal Society of Medicine in London a few weeks ago on "House-flies and Public Health." Among the most interesting things he said were those about the best methods of ridding houses of fires. After mentioning traps and dyppers with which it was familiar, he spoke of pyrethrum power, which fresh and pure. Milk containing 15 per cent of formalin is good, and fumigation with cresol ought to be more common, as it destroys mosquitoes as well as flies. This fumigation is especially useful in kitchens and stables. Among the children seeking air and play in Central park one day last week the twelve-year-old son of an the ringleader in sports with one crowd, and felt his dignity was being stepped on by another boy who later came up and tried to dictate to the players. He looked for something about him, which he could ridicule, and noticed a gold tooth which the boy showed whenever he could. "Huh," sniffed the Amsterdam avenue boy, "my father paints gas pipes with that stuff."—New York Tribune. The One Drawback "I have always wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of farm life." "Why don't you? You're rich enough to do as you please. I should think you'd buy a place in the country and the rest of your days in happy serenity." As a rule people can live a long time without learning how to live. Then and Now "ten years ago I was very sick" "he told me before" "now you want to critically ill." THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Parent Ebody Under B. F. Howard. Only Afro-American Who Holds Copyright for the Elke of the Race—Walter's Zion Church Packed. Rev. Callis Preaches Able Sermon. Last Sunday evening, Walter's A. M. E. Zion Church was packed from pit to dome, the occasion being the annual sermon of the Lady of Elks of the parent body. A finer looking set of women never graced a church than the officers and members of this fraternal and charitable organization. Each member was neatly and tastily gowned and felt the spirit of the occasion. It was a beautiful site to behold. A program was rendered that was highly appreciated. Mrs. Fisher, Ruler of Liberty Temple actor, achieved the sermon. H. C. Callis, pastor of church, preached the sermon. Dr. Callis, who is known as the "pulpit orator of Chicago" delivered a very forcible, inspiring and encouraging address. He told of the aim of the Lady Elks and their Christlike spirit to aid the poor and needy, and afflicted, and the burying of their dead. Especially did he refer to the religious services of the Lady Elks and its influence for good. Daughter Escort Nellie Thornton, Queen of Elmra Temple, read a paper on "Higher Up In Life." Laura Tyler, Daughter Ruler of Elmra Temple, rendered a beautiful address by Grand Daughter Ruler Henrietta P. Lee. Unique Temple, Solo Daughter Ruler Liberty Temple, Religious services led Daughter Maggie banks, Chaplin Unique Temple, Daughter Sylvia Carter, Past Grand Daughter Ruler of Unique Temple, presented Rev. Callis with a silver offering. Daughter Ruler K. C. Wise of Unique Temple, presented handsome bouquets to Daughter Noo, treasurer Liberty Temple; Daughter Ruler Fisher of Liberty Temple; Daughter Warfield, secretary of Liberty; Daughter Reynolds, vice of Liberty Temple; Daughter Laura Tyrler, Daughter Ruler of Elmira; Daughter K. C. Wise. Daughter Ruler of Unique and Grand Daughter Ruler H. P. Lee, bouquets from Elmira and Unique Temples. Daughter plu was presented by Daughter Elma, who was to Daughter Ella Deleon for her faithful service as Daughter Ruler and acted as chairman of the entire committee. Daughter Hattie King, Grand Organizer and Daughter Evan Vannoy, Vice Grand Ruler, who were both absent, unavoidably, were greatly missed. A vote of thanks was extended the chair, trustees and pastor. NEWEST DANCES AT THE VASSAR Fun, Pretty Girls and Good Dancing Music Feature at the Wednesday Evening Class. The Vassar Dancing Class looked like a big dancing party when a DE-FENDER reporter looked in on Wednesday night at the class at Masonic Hall, 40th and State street. If you really want to learn the latest dances by the most competent instructors, this is a good place and an enjoyable one. Society girls were out with their military capes and Kaiser hats. They were a picture to behold: Messrs. Haskins, Williams and Turnley are to be congratulated for conducting such a splendid class. For fun, pretty girls and good dances—the Vassar is just the place. FALL MILLINERY OF MADAME MADE- LINE McFARLAND Latest Styles in Headgear to Be Shown at South Side's Leading Millinery Shop—Friends and Patrons Cordially Invited. Madame Madeline McFarland, 4714 S.

MAY CELEBRATE HIS "TEENTH" BIRTHDAY "Tom" Cole, the popular proprietor of the Cole and Catten Hotel and Buffet, may celebrate his birthday soon. Mr. Cole states that he is very anxious to see "Count" J. W. Eubanks preside at a stag party. "Count" Eubanks says he'll do so if "Tom" tells his age. Adams, the tailor, says who guesses Tom's age correctly he'll make them a new suit. Must be right on the year, month, day, minute and second. SYNDICATE CLASS HAVING GOOD CROWDS The Syndicate Dancing Class on Friday night introduced a new dance. Mr. Barnes states that it will be the dance of the season. A large crowd was present and the sexette who are interested in the class are overjoyed for the year. Prof. Garfield Wilson's orchestra furnishes the music. Don't Be a Grouch The old Connecticut farmer had the right idea. A group of his crooners were talking at the usual corner store about the best way to die. A great many theories were advanced.

High society has its crude personalities, if a story in one of the magazines is true. At a dinner given to the famous pianist, Liszt, his host, Count Ludolf, right in the middle of Liszt's most exquisite playing, "said in a loud voice, 'If anyone wishes to have a game of whist, there are tables in the other room.'" Liszt, says the narrator, stopped short, but as no one moved he consented amably to remain at the piano. The amount of wine that had been consumed by Liszt's host on this occasion is not stated. Success Secret Apropos of the bad effects of business on the health, a millionaire contractor, said in a Y. M. C. A. address in Cleveland: "The bad effects of business on the health of business men is such that I confidently inform all our salesmen that, in order to win infinitely of any business men over forty, the only way to do is to commence the interview by producing for examination and discussion a box of some new kind of dyspepsia cure."

Parents should possible, discussing, or rather taking sides with actions, before their children; they are impress- ing giving vent to their feelings in a way that and harmful. America is and should be jist here all racial differences should be laid a family we should live and strive to make this the globe. AS A DIRTY CITY CHICAGO TAKES FIRST RANK. To remedy this condition a band of our "first" ladies have decided to take a hand in the cleaning proposition. Their organization is to be known as "The Chicago Women's Street Cleaning Bureau," and they propose to have a woman in every ward precinct, if possible, whose duty it will be to see how the ward appropriations are spent, and to investigate conditions and report if the streets and alleys are kept in the best possible condition with the means at hand. Like every other department of the city, graft and pull holds full sway, and the taxpayers are the ones who suffer. No other large city in the country has such filthy thoroughfares and the only places that have a semblance of being clean, are the ones cared for by the merchants whose stores are on the street. A few dreamers and idealists are painting beautiful word pictures of Chicago Beautiful, designs are drawn gallore showing a veritable paradise, the old Twelfth street viaduct converted into a king's highway, here and there are dotted artistic sky scrapers, fountains, trees and statuary add their beauty to the general ensemble, as we read and look at secure in our over enthusiastic press we are carried away—for the moment—with the stupendousness of it all. And then comes the rude skening, we put on our best Sunday go-to-meetin' clothes and art oin. Perhaps we have had a summer shower, and though the sun is again "on the job" the crossings are full of slush and the things you feel even if you fail to give them utterance, would not do for publication. So the dear ladies will have the hearty support and earnest co-operation of all save the ward healers. After all, it takes a woman to do housecleaning and the city is but one big house. Let us put them on the pay roll and the result will be more than satisfactory to the tax payer who pays the bills. SCHOOL CHILDREN AND THE WAR. IT ISN'T A VERY HARD MATTER to start a miniature war in any of our public schools, the old adage that "boys will be boys" is very true, and no boy wants it said that he is afraid of the other fellow and at the slightest provocation he will attempt to prove in a fistic way his superiority. It is all a part of every boy's life, we expect it, have gone through the mill ourselves and rather look upon a boy who does not assert his rights—or what he thinks his rights—as being effeminate and frown upon him. With the war embracing so many nationalities raging in the old world, the task of keeping peace among our rising generation is a serious one, for our public schools are about as cosmopolitan as it is possible to make them, almost every nationality under the sun can be found within their doors. Bright and alert the American school boy keeps abreast of the times as far as he is able. Soldiers and fighting is always an interesting subject to the young so it is but ring factions, before their children; they are impressionable and impulsive, giving vent to their feelings in a way that is both pleasant and harmful. America is and should be just one big ing pot, here all racial differences should be laid aside and as ig family we should live and strive to make this the greatest on the globe.

CHICAGO DEFENDER BLOCKING EDUCATION. HOUSES OF THE KANSAS CITY mance to the effect that no Negro school before June 1, last, should be all effect of a white school. This was a college who had already made a pay ease within the proscribed radius.

The Doctrine is having its effect and if it wi- the black people themselves their comfortable. In spite of every handicap they then they come to actually know their brings power—they will not only as ignition—speed the day. Sit tight and BOTH HOUSES OF THE KANSAS CITY COUNCIL passed an ordinance to the effect that no Negro school or college, not in operation before June 1, last, should be allowed to locate within 2,400 feet of a white school. This was aimed especially at the Western college who had already made a payment of $5,000 on a new home within the proscribed radius. There are only two apparent reasons why such action should be taken, a conspiracy to beat them out of the money already invested or an ungrounded fear that trouble would arise between the white and black students. Whatever their motive it is mighty small in a city as large and cosmopolitan as Kansas City, and it is hard to conceive a body of intelligent men legislating against education, but prejudice is a reason destroyer, and things are done by people affected with this disease that only could be attributed to insane people. The North has long since ceased to wonder at the vagaries of the South and have learned to accept things as they find them without asking the reason, for they have none, so what's the use? This "leave the Negro to us" doctrine is having its effect and if it were not for the waking up of the black people themselves their condition would indeed be deplorable. In spite of every handicap they are rising day by day and when they come to actually know their own power—for education brings power—they will not only ask, but demand universal recognition—speed the day. Sit tight and don't rock the boat. SITTING IN THE SADDLE. IT LEAST ENCOURAGING to read in our position with the present in the race have been gravely apprehended. Democratic administration would put us hope in the light of our newer civil war. That the Democratic administration of the rights of all the people to ration, that the 'sit tight' policy of the strain, and that he will see to it that justness of race or color. At a time like this race's history, when segregation, jitates us, we should 'sit tight.' We together. Not in simply organizing. I let us pray for more worthy leaders like soldiers. It has been apparent that 'sitting tight' as far as we are likely to the voice from the South is simply 'keep the black man down.' When in the right place, his hands are tied in gang, or whether he is simply innocent is little, the result is the same. We do by so doing we are holding something from the past we would be we shall we take the chance?" IT IS AT LEAST ENCOURAGING to read Ford S. Black's views concerning our position with the present administration: "Members of the race have been gravely appreciative respecting the course the Democratic administration would pursue concerning them. But let us hope in the light of our newer civilization there is no cause for alarm. That the Democratic administration will not be less considerate of the rights of all the people than the Republican administration, that the 'sit tight' policy of the President will continue to obtain, and that he will see to it that justice is meted out to all, regardless of race or color. At a time like this, in the crucial period of our race's history, when segregation, jimcrowism and lynchings threaten us, we should 'sit tight.' We can do this by getting closer together. Not in simply organizing, but in following our leaders. Let us pray for more worthy leaders, then let us follow them like soldiers. It has been apparent to all that the President has been 'sitting tight' as far as we are concerned, and dithering strictly to the voice from the South which whispers gently but firmly, 'keep the black man down.' Whether the President's heart is in the right place, his hands are tied by the Blease and Vardaman gang, or whether he is simply indifferent to our welfare matters little, the result is the same. We do not object to sitting tight if by so doing we are holding something worth while down, but judging from the past we would be wasting a lot of good energy. Shall we take the chance?" POLITICAL HOUSECLEANING LITICAL POT has gone beyond the to boil. Never in the history of Chicago many candidates in the field. It shows citizen to vote for the best man ran too long have we suffered at the hard responsible machine men. We have be faithful" and "help keep the city clean"; gain than by getting rid of the leaches matters not what party is in power, the rascals to make room for another citizen is to blame in a large measure so not exercise their voting rights as a weather is slightly inclement or they they stay away from the poles with us. Then after it is too late they are the man and decent home government. Uncertain that the coin of the realm goes a long certain class in their voting and to hold strength of the law abiding element to protect our own interests we need exp of the political tricksters. MADE IN ILLINOIS NOT GOOD are true the Illinois Central is a good state. Men who are paid by the rail, and work in the capacity as porters—that of kicking men and women are nearing each state line. WE CALL FOR READERS THAT A CONTRACT any state in the union; and when a hard earned money you should fight our rights. Then, too, when a condoms upon you and uses force, he putt TAKE life to protect yourself. After he given up their LIVES rather than after paying first-class fare, the United forced to step in and demand a halt THE POLITICAL POT has gone beyond the simmering point and has begun to boil. Never in the history of Chicago politics has there been so many candidates in the field. It should be the duty of every good citizen to vote for the best man regardless of his political faith, too long have we suffered at the hands of graffers and other irresponsible machine men. We have been harping on "Chicago beautiful" and "help keep the city clean"; there is no better way to begin than by getting rid of the teachers who infest the city hall. It matters not what party is in power, their motto is to turn one set of rascals out to make room for another set of rascals. And the good citizen is to blame in a large measure for this condition—they do not exercise their voting rights as do these rounders. If the weather is slightly inclement or they have a previous engagement, they stay away from the poles with the usual disastrous results. Then after it is too late they are the loudest in their call for reform and decent home government. Unscrupulous politicians know that the coin of the realm goes a long ways toward influencing a certain class in their voting and to overcome that takes the united strength of the law abiding element. Unless we do these things to protect our own interests we need expect little mercy at the hands of the political tricksters. CONTRACT MADE IN ILLINOIS NOT GOOD IN GEORGIA IF reports are true the Illinois Central is a good road to exclude in or out of the states. Men who are paid by the railroad companies to take tickets, and work in the capacity as porters, have a double duty to perform—that of kicking men and women out into cattle cars as they are nearing each state line. WE CALL ATTENTION TO DEFENDER READERS THAT A CONTRACT made in Illinois IS good in any state in the union; and when any road ROBS you out of your hard earned money you should fight to the DEATH to protect your rights. Then, too, when a conductor or porter places his hands upon you and uses force, he putting you in fear, you can even TAKE life to protect yourself. After a few of our men shall have given up their LIVES rather than ride in a "Jim Crow" car, after paying first-class fare, the United States government will be forced to step in and demand a halt WHO WE ARE T, at least in a pinch we are made to American. Recently the steamer Red Cress and nurses on board, was to leave is discovered that 60 per cent of the only first papers for American citizen desirables in certain foreign waters. We right, someone suggested filling their thought was put into action and all our council general said it was most desiriction whatever connected with a Rareitable and most worthy purpose. So the vessel wholly and entirely by American US. It is a comforting thought to service in the world, and every step over the goal. WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE AMERICAN CITIZENS, WE HAVE IT; at least in a pinch we are made to feel that we are very much American. Recently the steamer Red Cross, with its big list of surgeons and nurses on board, was to leave for the seat of war, but it was discovered that 60 per cent of the crew of 270 men had taken out only first papers for American citizenship, and therefore were undesirables in certain foreign waters. What a dilemma. Happy thought, someone suggested filling their places with Negroes. The thought was put into action and all was again serene. The British council general said it was most desirable that there should be no friction whatever connected with a Red Cross vessel sailing for a charitable and most worthy purpose. So it was thought best to man the vessel wholly and entirely by American citizens, and that means US. It is a comforting thought to know that we are of some service in the world, and every step we make is one more step nearer the goal.

Vive VE THAT IT CAN BE "DID," Jal y, Kentucky, shot and killed the le umping to secure Henry Johns NINETEEN CONSECUTIVE YEARS WITHOUT MISSING AN ISSUE is the enviable record made by Chicago's oldest race weekly, The Broad Ax. That Julius F. Taylor, its editor and founder, deserves a world of credit goes without saying. Just what it means to float a large cosmopolitan paper until it reaches a paying basis, few people outside of the clan know. Fearless and uncompromising Editor Taylor wields a powerful pen for the cause of justice and right, and the evil doer finds in him a foe relentless to the end. Those who failed to get a copy of the recent anniversary number missed a rare treat, it was the acme of journalism. Chicagoans are always doing big things and one of our most progressive citizens is Editor Julius F. Taylor. Vive the Broad Ax. TO PROVE THAT IT CAN BE "DID," Jailer Farris, of Bourbon County, Kentucky, shot and killed the leader of a mob which was attempting to secure Henry Johnson, who was confined in jail on a charge of robbery. It is needless to say that one shot put a quietus on the whole disgraceful affair and proves conclusively what can be done by those in authority to protect prisoners under their care. THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY QUESTION in the minds of our voters as to who they will cast their ballot for in the coming election, judge the man by his past record and act accordingly. On every party ticket is a race man who is entitled and should have your support. Don't fail in the hour of need. We are constantly crying for an opportunity. Here is one, grasp it. THE COLOR OF THE SKIN doesn't seem to make much difference when it comes to war. Europeans have pressed into service the black, the white, the yellow and the brown, Christian, Mussulman and Heathen. When it comes to self preservation the white brother is always in the vanguard. They are a tangible definition of a life preserver. OUR DAILY PAPERS used to explain how, since the U. S.

Do not consult When we began fifteen years ago to give public lectures in the churches, before the literary clubs, the Sunday afternoon clubs, and in parlor at social gatherings on the subjects of hygiene, sanitation, better housing conditions, on the nature and prevention and treatment of tuberculosis we often met with small audiences, chilly receptions, and sometimes an indifferent or positively antagonistic mental attitude. All this has changed and we are in daily letters of letters inquiries and sometimes the way to improve the health conditions in certain communities or certain groups of people. The people are anxious and thrifty for knowledge and guidance along the line of better living conditions. They are recognizing the value of health. They realize that health is their greatest and most valuable asset, and they are busy seeking knowledge to enable them to compete and fight successfully in the irrepressible and ever-present conflict between health and disease; that to carry on successfully any campaign there must be education, training—yes, special training—in order to do special and efficient work along a definite given line. What Has Been Accomplished in the Management of Tuberculosis Management of Tuberculosis. First, it is known that tuberculosis or lung consumption is a social disease; that it is a disease which has arisen from bad living or civilizing conditions. It is a communicable disease. Second, we have learned that the vast majority of the cases of lung consumption are contracted in early infancy or childhood, and are not due to cold, as indicated by the various tuberculosis tests. Third, we have learned that no particular medicine or climate will cure lung consumption. We know that climate which contains the purest and dryest air, the most sunshine, other things being equal, that a coarse climatic thrives better than a poor hope to thrive in a climate with less sunshine, more dampness, darkness, and where the air is foul and contaminated. But climate alone is not the sine qua non in the treatment of consumption. Fourth, we have had to contend with and overcome the pessimism, apathy and inertia of public opinion, and often have we encountered the prejudices of long traditional teachings concerning the management and treatment of lung consumption. From time immemorial it has been thought that there was no cure for lung consumption; that once you have consumption you are doomed to die. The whole situation or outlook for the consumptive was discouragement and despair. Fifth, that mental attitude in keeping with our broader education and more enlightenment along the line of treatment for tuberculosis has all been changed into one of encouragement, cheerfulness and hopefulness in the ultimate recovery of the consumptive, providing proper and scientific treatment is early instituted. In other words, the intelligent reading public now believes in the curability of consumption. For a long time they did not believe in the cure, but now the intelligent element is beginning to believe, in consequence of our crusade against consumption, that it can be cured in any climate. The How. Diagnosis—The first essential thing to do when you find yourself falling is to have an early examination and diag- 20 nosis made of your condition. Consult your physician first. Do not consult your neighbor, your druggist, your milkman, your janitor or your scavenger in your block. Self-Medication—Do not get the habit of eternally and everlastingly taking medicine, because you do not know anything about the medi-ology you are taking for your cough, and your chest is the body or system into which you breathe the medicine. It may be necessary that your doctor repeated examinations made of your chest before a correct diagnosis can be made; but your physician or one recommended to you by your physician is the safest and most competent judge of your condition. If you wait until you get into the chronic stage of your cough, spitting up blood, with night sweats and great loss of weight and strength, you will lessen your chances of an early recovery, and will be more dangerous to those who may come in close contact with you or live with you in the same room of room. The Sanatorium. The ideal place for the treatment of tuberculosis is the sanitarium, because there you are placed on intelligent, efficient medical supervision and regulation. The Colored people of this section of the country were deprived of the private sanitarium treatment until a vigorous campaign was made by us through the Chicago Defender and another instance of that ever-ready public-spirited James S. Madden, to secure equal admission—to open the prejudiced doors—Instead of sending them to the poor house for the incurables. Some time ago we visited the Ottawa colony at Ottawa, Ill., for the treatment of tuberculosis, with the hope of being able to secure admission for Colored consumptives who had money to pay and were willing to pay, asking to be received on the same terms and conditions as other people were received and treated, but we learned that there was no room for people of African descent at that institution. Next we visited the Chicago Fresh Air Hospital on Howard avenue, seeking admission for a lady in the early stages of the disease who had money to pay—In fact her husband was ready and offered to pay more than the regular weekly fee for the care of his wife—but there was no admittance there. We tried to secure admission for her at the Edward Santilarium at Naperville, Ill., but met with the same fate—no open door there. In fact we tried every private and private sanitarium that was advertised, soliciting patronage, but when we knocked at the door for admission for Colored patients the place was always full. We found that through intellectual courage, persistent effort, and the righteousness of our cause and the sense of fair play and justice on the part of the management, and Dr. Brown in charge, that the Lake Breeze Santarium at Waukegan, Ill., have opened their hearts and the doors of their santarium and have agreed to admit and are now admitting Colored patients in the early stage and in the same term of consumption on the same terms of conditions that they admit members of other races. If we do not accomplish any more than this one act, the Medical College Defender has fully justified its existence. We have just received a letter from a patient that we sent to said Sanatorium a few weeks ago attesting her treatment. She writes as follows: CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 18, 1914 Healthy cows do not produce impure milk. But healthy cows kept amid dirty surroundings mean dirty, dangerous milk and the poor cows are not to blame for it at all. This is why a single dirty dalryman is a menace to a whole community. Dirty, dangerous milk does not, as a rule, appear to be either dirty or dangerous. In other words, a bottle of dirty, germ-laden milk will look as good as the bottle of clean, safe milk standing by it. The trouble is that the dangerous dirt in most milk is not the kind that can be seen with the naked eye. It requires the scientific eyes, used in the laboratory, to determine just how dirty and dangerous milk is. This is it of such vital importance that milk must be kept clean time. The cows be kept clean and healthy, as must also the barns and stables where they are kept. Those who handle the milk should be clean; the bottles or vessels into which milk is put must be clean. And so all along the line from cow to consumer, there must be cleanliness all the time. When dirt and milk get together, there is certain to be trouble. In 1901 the city of Edmonton, Alberta, had a population of 2,500. It now has approximately 75,000 and covers an area of 27,000 square acres. This phenomenal growth, both in area and population, has meant heroic work on the part of its health officers to meet the problems that of necessity confronted them, such as refuse and sewage disposal, water supply, community sanitation, control of contagion, etc. It appears, however, from a recent report of the health officer of that city, that he has succeeded in the face of unusual difficulties in maintaining excellent health conditions, the death rate for last year being only 10.73 per 1,000 of population. An epidemic of disease among the cattle and hogs of any given section of country always excites the keenest interest and the newspapers give it the widest publicity. If a farmer loses ten head of cattle out of a herd of 40, it would be heralded as a calamity. But the same farmer might have been able to use a typhoid, a filth disease and preventable, and there would be no stir in the neighborhood at all; and most likely no measures taken to find out what killed the children, or how their deaths might have been prevented. And thus it is that an outbreak of cholera among a drove of hogs creates more of a stir than does an epidemic of scarlet fever or diphtheria among the children of the same community. Spasmodic cleanliness is better than no cleanliness at all. But it is being clean all the time that makes the most for health, happiness and freedom from disease. A Reporter Within the Wells. The Seattle Sun sent Mr. David Erwin to Washington state reformatory at Monroe to make a special report of the institution. The index of the reformatory paper reports that Superintendent Olean said to Mr. Erwin: "Go at it. Ask as many questions as you like. See and talk to whom you like, officer or inmate. Go through the books; learn all you can, and tell the truth." The index thinks that it is seldom that such freedom of investigation is given to a correspondent, and adds: "Publicity is what we need and deserve. The more light shed on us the better we will be satisfied." Mr. Erwin went to Monroe for the "inside man's story" and got it. "The men realized they could talk without fear of punishment." The Index contends that "Mr. Erwin says he found us to be like any other human beings, and so we are. We are truthful and untruthful; honest and dishonest; ambitions and lazy; wise and foolish; tricky and BIG SACRIFICE SALE OF HOMES NOW GOING ON Chance to get a great bargain for the ones who act promptly.

In this Sanatorium the patients will get abundant rest, good nourishing food, plenty of fresh air, pleasant and cheerful surroundings, kind and patient nursing, wise, intelligent, judicious supervision. In the near future we will visit the Lake Breeze Sanatorium and hope to report still greater improvement in the condition of our patient there. Why not join the crusade against this awful plague of humanity and assist in making them happy? HEALTH NOTES. (Press Service Department of Health Care) The province of Ontario, Canada, has a recently enacted law that makes specific provision for compensation for industrial or occupational diseases contracted in the course of the workman's employment. The theory of this newly enacted law is that when the workman is disabled from a disease caused directly by the occupation in which he is engaged, he is as much entitled to compensation as he would be when the disability is caused by a machine that he is compelled to use and which has caused the disability without any contributory negligence on his part. FROM OUR EXCHANGES. straightforward; secretive and open-minded; good and bad. Those who are good ask only to have the chance to prove to the world their worthiness. Those who are bad are willing to suffer alone for their badness, in most cases. Inherently even the bad ones among us want to be good. Those who are striving to do the 'right' thing want to help not only themselves, but all human kind. Having fallen, they are in a position to know what it means to fall and be kicked. Having received help ing, they know what it means to help, and appreciate; and given the chance to demonstrate their intentions, they will answer their pledged word to the letter. Mr. Erwin when he came among us frankly admitted he expected to see a species of animal not found outside of captivity. He went away convinced the opposite was true."—The Jolie Prison Post. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS I am the lessee (year to year) of certain premises, and have been for nearly three years, and have kept up my monthly payments promptly throughout this period. In the month of July, last, I sustained a serious injury to my left hand, in the form of a knife wound, which made it necessary for me to be taken to the hospital for treatment. My wife informed the agent of these facts, and suggested to him that on account of the heavy hospital expenses, we would be unable to meet the July payment, secured his consent to the rights under the lease in consideration of these facts, and of the fact that we had always been good tenants, and secured an extension of time in which to pay. During the month of August, my wife had a conversation with the agent, during which he agreed to give us still more time (until Sept. 1st) in which to pay. On Sept. 4th, I made a tender of payment of the entire amount, to the agent, who promptly refused same, saying that suit against me had been started, and that he could not accept my money. On Sept. 9th, a complaint in forcible detainment was issued against my wife, and a summons was served upon her on this day to appear and answer in forcible detainer the complaint of the owner of the premises. The summons also named my wife as the defendant. The lease is made out in my name. There has been no five days' notice served. About Sept. 12th, I received a note from one D. R. Thomas, attorney-at-law, with offices at 111 N. Dearborn street, Wolff bldg, suite 6037 and 6041, where he advised me to be sure and call at the office at 9 o'clock a. m., without fail. The was the return day of the summons. On Sept. 15th, promptly at 9 o'clock, I appeared at the office of the above named attorney, found him busily engaged with several clients, and was advised by him to wait until he got through with his other matters. I waited until about 10 o'clock, when he suddenly appeared and informed me that judgment by default had been against me, and that I was too late. But if I wanted to retain him, he could get this judgment set aside; otherwise my household effects would be set out into the street. Whereupon I said to him that I would consult the legal department of The Chicago Defender before I made another move. Now what I desire to know is: 1. Under all the facts and circumstances in my case, as I have stated if to you, am I liable to be evicted without having had an opportunity to be heard in my own behalf (by reason of the unconscionable conduct of this act). 2. Who is really the defendant in the case, my wife, whose name was used in the service of process, or myself? 3. What rights, if any, has she, or have I, against this law. D. R. Thomas, who fraudulently deceived me into going to his office instead of to the court, where no doubt I could have prevented this judgment by being present and placing the court in possession of all the facts and circumstances in my case? As to Query No. 1, we would advise you that notwithstanding the fact that you appear to have become a victim of circumstances, the rules of practice, the municipal court are hard and fast, therefore advice you to consult a counsel attorney. As to Query No. 2, we would any that a motion to quash the complaint on the ground of a variance between the lease and the complaint might be sustained, although the court sometimes, in its discretion, grants the party leave to amend. As to Query No. 3, we find, upon investigation, that Mr. D. R. Thomas is a member of the Chicago Lawyers' Association of Illinois, but we do not opline that the Chicago Bar Association would countenance any such conduct on the part of a member of the Chicago Bar, and we shall take immediate action, bring this matter to their attention. On the whole, we advise you to place your case into the hands of a competent attorney.
