Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 21.—To the Editor; it is with much pleasure that I read your paper, but it was with a sense of horror that on Saturday night I read that item of your Friday's issue headed: "Three German Soldiers Strangled by Black." Of course, we all realize that war is even more than General Sherman said it was, but it strikes a southerner with a peculiar sense of horror and disgust that in this terrible war, white nations in a white men's quarrel have seen fit to drag in blacks, Japs, Turcos, Hindus, etc. "Anything to beat the Dutch" goes, it seems. A. J. HAAGA. Oh fudge! O pluffle! O fudge! again; and, finally—can't help it—O hell! Your pardon, readers; but in lieu of having this Mr. Hage, whoever he is, by the scruff of his neck and seat of his trowers, that little outbreak above was absolutely necessary, and in the language of a certain dear old lady of other days. "Done me a powerful sight of good!" And now, how long, O how long, Lord God of Hosts, Ruler of nations, and King of Kings; how long is it to be Your sovereign-will to permit such annoying persons as the writer of the above clipping from a Memphis, Tenn., daily to continue to cumber the earth, and like a stink bug splitting at the sun, darken the vision and offend the smellers of sensible twentieth century black and white men and women? If such pests, O Master, must yaw on, if, in the wisdom of Your farreaching designs, it is Your pleasure that for a brief time yet they shall flourish in their asininity, will the day NEVER come when we may be spared the waggings of their cancered jaws, and their "damn fool" letters "To the Editor," with the Negro as the text? Are we NEVER to reach a day when the captains of influential journals—moulders, as they should be, of HEALTHY Public Opinion—will close their columns against these irritating, fool scribes, just as in these days of enlightment, coached by such philanthropists as Wilberforce Williams and Dr. Evans, we screen our homes and health against the danger and filth of the diseased stuffed house fly, and other purveyors of poison of the same family group? "Three German Soldiers Strangled by Black"—and HE, "Read it with a sense of horror!" He! And WHO the —— IS He, I wonder! The name "Haaga" would indicate him of German or Dutch extraction, who, no doubt at all in the world, at this very moment, and for years prior, has been given protection, the chance to live and prosper in this land that ten generations of BLACKS, our fathers, had to toil to build up, and, whose blood and bones, left on a hundred battle spots, stretching from Lexington to San Juan Hill, was freely given that the nation of Washington and Lincoln, the asylum for the oppressed from everywhere, should not perish from the earth!

White Advertising Man in Mei'ing Tells of Enormous Sums Spent for Publicity—Andrew Johnson Versus Lydia Pinkham. Every man and woman of the race in business in Chicago should have heard Andrew N. Fox, advertising manager of the Benjamin Electric Manufacturing Company, in his address on "The Educational Value of Advertising," before the delegates of the Federation of Trades Press Association at the Congress hotel Friday. After explaining that more than $800,000,000 was invested in advertising in the United States in 1913, Mr. Fox asked the delegates the following question: "What would be the effect of a political propaganda extending over the full four years of a presidential administration if the full amount was used by one political party to the exclusion of all others? "What would be the effect on our industrial life if this advertising should cease for one year? "How many people would recognize the picture of President Andrew Johnson if it were suddenly thrown upon a screen, yet how many would fail to recognize the pictures of Old Dutch Cleaner, Lydia Pinkham and other illustrations used as an advertising medium? MURRAY'S CADILLAC IN FLAMES ON WEDNESDAY Fire Department Called to Extinguisher Fire. Wednesday evening at six o'clock the 90-horsepower Cadillac 1914, belonging to E.

No Men of the Race in Jury Box Is Violation of Fifteenth Amendment, Says Attorney—Decision Awaited with Interest. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Columbus, O., Oct. 2.—Governor Cox of this state reprieved a man Saturday under sentence to be electrocuted next month for murder, until December next, in order to permit the supreme court of the state to pass upon the legality of the trial, raised by the prisoner's attorney. The attorney raised the point that there were no Afro-American men on the jury which tried the prisoner, and that for the past eleven years the name of no Afro-American had been placed in the jury box in Montgomery county, the county in which the murder was alleged to have been committed and the trial held. Trial Is Not Legal. The attorney for the prisoner holds that the refusal to put the names of Afro-American men in the jury box is a violation of the fifteenth amendment, and that the trial of his prisoner is therefore illegal. This is the first time this point has been raised, and attorneys are watching for a decision with much interest, for a favorable decision might not only have a far-reaching effect in the future, but raised the point of legality as to the trials of many Afro-American prisoners who have heretofore been tried, sentenced and have served or are now serving their sentences.

Thursday, September 24, the ambassador notified President Wilson that he had asked his government for leave of absence, which he felt certain would be granted, and that he would leave for Constantinople in ten days. He took occasion at the same time to announce that he would not alter his views concerning lynchings in this country, recently expressed, which gave offense. Cited United States Lymphs. Cited United States Lynchings. The Turkish ambassador in his interview had said that the sending of American warships to Turkey in connection with the report of uprisings against Christians would lead to a serious situation. At the same time he said that while massacres had previously occurred in Turkey, they were the same acts as any people might commit under provocation. He cited the lynching of Negroes and the "water cures" in the Philippines as illustrations, reminding the American people of those incidents. These statements were considered particularly objectionable by the administration, and Secretary Bryan, at the president's direction, asked the ambassador to refrain from such expressions. Wrote an Explanation. The ambassador later explained personally and then wrote at length. The president directed Mr. Bryan to say in answer that the statements made by the ambassador were objectionable to the American government and but for the fact that a tense situation existed in Turkey, which he did not desire to aggravate, the diplomatic impropriety committed by the ambassador might otherwise be a subject for discussion with the Ottoman government. The president asked whether in view of the situation the ambassador cared to make any expression. The Turkish envoy replied that he did not wish to alter his view in any way and that he would leave in a fortnight. DR. WM.

(Continued from Page 1.) AND THEIR ANCESTERS, WHO MAINTAINED SLAVERY IN AMERICA, AND WHO, FOR FIVE LONG YEARS, STROVE, THROUGH FORCE OF ARMS, TO Destroy A NATION IN ITS BEHALLEY"? The world is againt at the great struggle now rocking a continent from shore to shore, and in which the flower of European civilization, that was old before America was dreamed of, is engaged in—the result now known, knows, or can predict; but the only feature of the mighty strife that attracted this little fellow in Memphis, this "southern gentleman" is that England and France could so forget as to "drag in BLACKS" and other off-color races in a war "of white nations" and a "white men's quarrel"? As a relief from this ridiculous, unpleasant picture, glance over this account, this OTHER PICTURE, as transmitted to The Chicago Tribune from its special correspondent in Paris, Mr. John Ashton, under date of Sept. 12, in which he describes the troops marching through the French capital, how it effected him and the million others who witnessed it. Let us see what estimate the splendid civilization of France, the land of CHARLEMAGNE, MONTAIGNE, CORNELLE, MOLIBRE, VOLTAIRE, ROUSEAUSE, HUGO, BALZAC and ZOLA, places upon BLACK MEN; what discrimination, if any, because of their color. Never Impressed So Profoundly. Said Mr. Ashton—and as you read, think, if you can, of the little fellow in Memphis and his spasms of "horror and disgust." (Special Correspondence of the Tribune.) PARIS, Sept. 12. I have been in many climes, and have seen many strange things, but I doubt whether anything ever impressed me so profoundly as the passage of a whole army corps of French colonial troops through the streets of Paris a few days ago. Like a Swarm of ants, close on each other's heels, regiment after regiment, they trooped for six long hours between double ranks of admiring and euthusiastic Parisiennes, stretching from Montrouge through the Latin quarter, to St. Denis, right across Paris. Such enthusiasm, such patriotic fervor, such downright delight and utter abandon, I have never seen manifested before. Never were troops more welcome. It was like a godsend to the anxious Parisiennes. 40,000 of Them Straight from Africa! To see these 40,500 troops march along the F.eward de Sebastopol under the glare of the are lamps we worth going a thousand miles to witness. It was a sight such as one sees only once in a lifetime.

In the evening the service was well attended, and we hope to enjoy a year of blessings, and success will be achieved if every member will do his duty as it comes to him and help to make this the banner year for Bethel. Rev. J. R. Jordan of Des Moines, Iowa led the pulpit of Zion Baptist Church. This is rev. Jordan's first visit to Cedar Rapids. The sermon Sunday evening was the fine moral and spiritual lesson. The Bible class met at 7:30 and was well attended. The young people are taking quite an interest in it. Let us hope more young people will attend these services. * * * Mrs. C. E.

He expects to return the last of the week with his family. Straight from Africa they came with all their accoutrements—wagons, supplies, guns, horses, and mules. It was not an ordinary army. Everything was blarze, different, picturesque. One's mind harked back unconsciously to the "Arabian Nights" and ancient history on seeing the seething, perspiring masses of African soldiers. Their Flashing Fearless Eyes. But there was grim regality in the heaving, powerful chests and flashing, fearless eyes of these desert people, and poetry in the martial rhythm of their movements. Every regiment sprang a surprise, from the inklest of blacks of equatorial Africa, through the various brown and olive hues of the Semitic races from the Mediterranean coast. Women Weep With Joy, Embrace and Kiss Them. Occasionally, as a halt was made, one of the men, in his broken French, would attempt to harangue the crowd, telling it to be not alarmed, that the Germans would never, never enter Paris lived; that they would never give up fighting as long as a German was left in France. It is seldom that one sees such fine uniform physique in such a large body of troops; and practically all were seasoned warriors. These men are fearless and are said to be irresistible in a bayonet charge. Cigarettes, wine, cordials, fruits, and refreshments of all kinds were showered upon them. Women wept with joy, and rushed repeatedly from the sidewalks to embrace the soldiers. Ever and anon, a soldier would dash into the throng and kiss some child in its mother's arms. Officers, mounted on beautiful Arab chargers, raised their gloved hands in salute to the cheering masses. Pretty women dashed spontaneously to the cavallers' side, offering bouquets of flowers or holding aloft their hands to be kissed. And so—and here I stop. Surely the world moves! High above the nations, this small earth, beyond the gangred vision of vain-glorious "Southerners"—quite pitiful, in their littleness—reigneth the MASTER "moving in mysterious ways His wonders to perform."

The Mann Company gave a concert last Tuesday evening at the church, under the auspices of the Women's Home Missionary Society. Next Sunday will be Presbyterian day, and it will be celebrated accordingly. Last Sunday was Rally day in the Sunday school and an interesting program was given. A sacred cantata, representing "Immigrants and American Children" was rendered by the Primary department. The children who took the part of the immigrants were dressed in costumes, and all carried flags representing the nations they represented. The object was to interest the school in missions and to help them realize the foreigner as a factor in this country. Mr. Boltley made a short address, concerning the baseball team and its work. Mr. Fowler announced the meeting of the Men's Club, to take place next Sunday, after morning service. It will be a meeting of importance and all men are urged to be present. A collection was taken for missions. Miss Virginia M. Gibson left the city this week to teach-in a school in Georgia. MT. CARMEL C. M. E. CHURCH. Services began promptly at 11:30, Rev. William H. Parker occupying the pulpit. His theme was, "The Name of Jesus is a Strong Tower; the Righteous Runneth Into It and Are Saved." At 8 p.m. M. Evangelist M. H. Spencer of Kansas City, Mo. metched. He is holding a series of meetings for an indefinite time. He says they are people's meetings and invites everyone to attend them. The C. M. E. rendered some special music. The Gospel church promises to sing on Friday evening. The members and friends of Bethlehem church are cordially invited to attend the first quarterly meeting in the conference year Sunday, October 4, 1814. Preaching Elder Cook will preach morning and evening and Rev. W. H. Griffin will preach the sacramental sermon. All Englewood, and especially the members and friends of St. John, rejoiced to hear that Dr. Wilson, through the wise judgment of the bishop was returned to this church. No leader of any people was ever more gladly received upon his reappointment to office than was Dr. Wilson, who during the last two years past as pastor of this church, won the respect and favor of all with whom he came in contact, and today St. John is further up the "road of progress" than it ever was, because of his presence here. His prescriptions on last Sunday bespoke him, as an enthusiastic as ever for the good welfare of this church and the widening of the borders of God's kingdom of the part of the moral vineyard. He is therefore deeply concerned about the kind of worship that shall be held in this place, and the kind of place wherein this worship shall be held. Regular services 11 n. m. and 8 p. m.

The pastor's sermon upon Reproducing the Christ Life as the need of the times was a forceful setting forth of applied Christianity and was helpful to all present. ** * The male quartet added much to the musical part of the service. It being Sabbath school rally, the program was very interesting and the number present surpassed the goal set by the officers and teachers. ** * The Tiny-Tot wedding was a great success, little Miss Ruth French being the blushing bride and Master Rodney Smith being the proud groom. The management deserves much credit for the successful manner in which the whole entertainment was carried out. We regret very much that many were disappointed on Tuesday evening because of the evangelist being called to her home to pay parting respects to her son who was dying. Mrs. Lewis has had success since she has been at St. Luke's, up to the time of her departure twelve persons were converted and joined the church. During her absence the church will continue for some time, but during these sad moments of her life. She has the deep sympathy of the pastor and membership of St Luke's. Tuesday evening Rev. Carroll preached and Wednesday evening Rev. Robinson preached. Many were out to hear them. The meetings will continue until Mrs. Lewis returns. A fine program was rendered by the Tuskegee Club at St. Luke's on last Sunday afternoon. Many were out and enjoy their time with us. The spend next Sunday with us. The evangelist will preach at both services. Come early and avoid the rush. The church was crowded last Sunday morning. Rev. Anderson occupied the pulpit. He selected his text from Matt. 4 chapter, 19th verse; theme, "Fishing for men." It was handled in his masterly manner. Rev. Anderson was gladly received back to Quinn Chapel. Every one, members and friends, welcomes his return, hoping the ensuing year will prove a success equal to last. Rev. Thomas, once presiding elder of the Chicago district and for a time pastor of Quinn Chapel, preached the evening sermon. The Sunday school was crowded with children and parents, it being parents' and neighborhood day. Miss Thorne, principal of Mosely school, gave a most interesting address. Miss Lillian Thomas read a short, Bishop president of the Bishop School school, gave a pleasing talk to the children. Everything was very enjoyable, the singing beautiful. The Sunday school is fountiful under the present superintendent, J. W. Fisher. The Christian Endeaver was well attended at 6 p. m. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER News of the Churches BETHEL CHURCH. ST. JOHN A.

NASHVILLE MEN FAIL TO PROTECT TWO WEAKWOMEN Witness Brutal and Unprovoked Assault Upon Sick Woman and Her Daughter and Are Too Cowardly to Defend Them. DISGRACE TO HUMANITY Manhood is on the Wane if These Weaklings Represent Present-Day Quality—Eye Witnesses in Chicago. Nashville, Tenn., visitors in Chicago relate an almost unbelievable story of an unprovoked and brutal assault upon two women of the race, one of them indulged in the slap, the appers, while a crowd of men, many of their own race, looked calmly on without raising a hand to defend them. Attracted by the cries of the defenseless women these weaklings forgot that their mothers and sisters were women, and played the coward. We clip the following from the Nashville Globe under date of September 25: "Saturday night, about 9 o'clock, there was committed on the public square the most brutal assault ever witnessed in this city. Miss Mayne Brooks and her mother, Mrs. Mahala Brooks, went in the Grimes & Robinson drygoods store to make a purchase. The article purchased came to 15 cents. Miss Brooks gave the clerk 50 cents. When the package was returned to Miss Brooks there was no change. Miss Brooks insisted that ther was 35 cents due her. The floorwalker went to the office and made inquiry and found that Miss Brooks was right. He therefore gave her the change and toore the check up and threw it on the floor, and began out of the Miss Brooks and ordered her out of the store. She told him he had only to abuse that she had only demanded what she was due her. He, the floorwalker, grew more abusive and then threatened to have Miss Brooks arrested, and run out in the street as if for an officer. Miss Brooks and her mother started out of the store, and when they reached the door the brute plunged from his hiding and struck Miss Brooks a blow that knocked her down. Mrs. Brooks rushed to the aid of her daughter and he then turned upon her and knocked her down. At this juncture another clerk in the store ran out and held Miss Brooks while the associate beat her mother. Black Men Have Nerve "In a short while a great crowd had gathered, both white and black men, but no one offered to take the part of the ladies. Black men stood and, no one as the combatants had been all men in a fight. It was not until the porter came in the store saw what was going on did anyone molest the brutes who were beating up two helpless women. The porter ran out and knocked the brutes off of the ladies and they both ran in the house like dogs. Miss Brooks was almost exhausted from fright and the assault, but she controlled herself as best she could, and with her infirm mother sought an officer and the floorwalker arrested. He was carried Mr. Robinson Hyde's, and his employer, Mr. Robinson Hyde, who him. The trial was set for Monday at 9 o'clock, but was postponed until Thursday at 10 o'clock. "Miss Brooks employed Attorney Blibs Jacobs to look after the case. Mrs. Brooks has not fully recovered from the assault yet. She is very weak, having an affected heart. Miss Mayne Brooks has been an employee of the National Baptist Publishing Board several years. She had her feeble mother with her Saturday night because she did not care to be out alone. She is a member of the choir of the Spruce Street Baptist church and is a regular worker in the church and Sunday school." Woman Ridicules Bravery. Eye witnesses of the assault interviewed by a reporter for The Chicago Deoder declare that the crowd gathered in cries of the women was composed of Afro-Americans. "No" said one of the ladies in the party, "they were not idiots, but men of respectable appearance, but not of them attempted to aid the poor women. When the porter ran out and knocked the men down the crowd melted away like ice in the summertime. If this is our boasted manhood, I beg to be excused." NORTH SIDE NEWS. Mr. E. Gordon has returned from an eastern trip after touring three months in the east in his 1914 Cadillac car. Mr. Gordon while touring in the east running from Batavia, N.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 2—Afro-American business men show constant evidences of prosperity in spite of the talk of "hard times." Fesse C. Foster, proprietor of Dye House, 11th and U streets, has purchased one of the finest auto delivery cars to be found in the city, and Milton Opey, engaged in the same business on 7th Street, has its almost an exact duplicate of the chine. Dr. J. M. Cherry has taken enlarged dental quarters at Vermont avenue and U street. Jackson & Whipps, drugstores, have leased the brilliant corner at 7th and T streets, on the highway leading to and from the Howard Theater. Lawyer L. M. King is placing $5,000 worth of improvements on his big 13th street home, converting it into a series of rooms, and losing a fee of the many good things the business men of Washington are doing—while the pessimists sit down and groan about the Negro being "the man farthest down." FALL HEALTH NOTES (Press Service, Department of Health.) Dead files do no harm. This is fine weather for a vigorous fall clean up. Premises that are carefully cleaned now will not require so much work next spring. Overeating does not always satisfy the appetite. Moral, don't stuff—eat enough and no more. Certainly during these beautiful autumn days all our schools should be of open-air kind. For what does it profit the child to gain knowledge at the expense of its bodily health and vigor. Did you ever notice how persistent the files are to get into your home these autumn days? They know the cold weather is at hand and so they want to get inside where there is warmth and comfort and lengthened life for them. How do you like the community you are now living in? Are there not some things that need correction? Are you helping to get them corrected? Are you doing your share to make your community a better place to live in this year than it was last year? Even though you move next May, the effort is worth your while. Why not begin now? Do not begrudge your boy his outdoor playtime after school hours. The football game or the baseball game on the vacant lot will be of great benefit to him after his day in school. The autumn months after the long summer vacation are particularly hard on the boys and girls who have lived out of doors almost all the time and half plenty of good air and lots of vigorous exercise. For this reason they should be encouraged to indulge in all of the out-of-door sports after school hours. Now is the time to place your fly poison on the back porch just outside your kitchen door, being sure that there is no other food for them to get. Mix one pint of milk and water, equal parts; add two teaspoonfuls of formaldehyde, which can be purchased at any drug store. Pour this mixture into plates and in each plate place three or four small squares of bread. These will soak up the polen and also furnish attraction places for the flies to light on. A plate of this mixture, placed just outside your kitchen door, will attract and kill the flies, thus preventing them from getting into your house. It is both cheap and effective. Try it and see.

Wiltshire. The Standard Life Insurance Company. The Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., according to the recent insurance report, was organized June 1912, as an Old Line, Legal Reserve, colored capital of the city of Atlanta, in the state of Georgia, with a capital of $100,000 deposited with the state and has a surplus of $16,000. in one year its growth has been phenomenal. This company maintains 55 branch offices, and has 208 agents in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas; its entire office force in these branches and home office numbering 236 persons. Year'a Business. The report of the business for one year shows an income of $109,756; death claims paid in money $2,161; they have insurance in force of $1,767,611 on 9,343 policyholders. This is the Negro is the Negro is a good insurance condition. Note the fact of doing a business of $109,756 on 9,343 policyholders and having only to pay on death claims of $2,161. You have to you say about the high death rate, and the unlesirable insurable risks of the Negro? This report, bear in mind, is made by W. E. Underwood, who writes regularly for the "Literary Digest" on insurance companies, also that his State Insurance Co. has been rigidly examined by the insurance department of the state of Georgia twice in one year. The insurance commissioner and his agents reported that all the affairs of this state are sound and in a satisfactory condition. It is further noted that many of the greatest, progressive, and most prominent Negroes of these United States are large policholders in said company. This company has been and still is stimulating thriftiness, and is stimulating the growth of Negroes of the state of Georgia, and in those states in which this company is doing business throughout the United States. It shows that we are ideawake and that we are taking advantage of the great amount of wealth of our insurance companies because of our racial identity, and are building and managing an insurance company for ourselves; it also shows that we are aware, and consolences of the great value of insurance. Every man that is married will be able to benefit for the benefit of his family as his means will allow. In fact, every single man should appreciate the value of a good life insurance policy on his life, and be in position to present his finance with at least, a paid up policy of insurance, as an evidence of his sincerity and ability to provide for the future, in the way of protection and keeping the wolf from the door. Then, too, it will enable any man to negotiate a loan for at least three years, to force for at least three years, to bridge him over any great financial necessity, and thus maintain his self-respect as he will be relieved of the embarrassment of going around among his friends soliciting assistance or trying to endure in time of great need. Economic Attitude. There are certain insurance companies in Chicago that are doing a large business among the Negroes of this city, but are not giving the Negroes a square deal in the way of complying with the laws of Negroes as agents, inspectors, clerks or medical examiners, etc. in fact, they seem to be willing to solicit and take the business of the Negroes, but do not seem to consider the fact that he should be given a chance equal to that of members of the other races to are employed. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. both the Old Line and Industrial, have for years done a very large business among the Negroes of this city and I have yet to know of this company employing Negro medical examiners, agents, inspectors or clerks among the large number of its employees in the city. The company is in the Prudential and Globe when they catered to Negroes. CLEVELAND LETTTER Doings In and About the City—Brief Mention of Everything of Interest. By Alexander O. Taylor.

Our power of attraction is one of nature's laws creatures seek the light It appears to me that it is high time that the Negroes of Chicago demand a square deal on the part of the company to whom they give their business in the way of employment or eco-friendship. We should not why not refuse to give your insurance to a white agent, or do business with a white collector, and demand that there be employed colored agents, collectors, etc. This will help you in the respect and appreciation of the young men and women who are eminently fitted to do the collecting and soliciting of the insurance company among the members of our race. We should try to spend our money in such a way that the ultimate value would accrue to the whole race in that way we best benefit our individual selves. The Medicine Chest: In every well-regulated home there should be a well-stocked medicine chest kept under lock and key and out of reach of the children of the household. This medicine chest should be rounded to be used in case of emergency, in sudden illness or accident. The bottles should be carefully labeled and there should be no chemical explosives in the medicine chest. Disposs, such as C4 carboc acid, should be carefully marked with large red letters on labels. Do not put empty bottles or too many other things in the medicine chest, as they will confuse you. Never go for medicine in the dark. Keep medicines carefully, read it slowly and carefully measure the dose. Many lives have been lost and so many people poisoned by not carefully reading the labels. Very medicine chest should contain a measuring glass marked on one side for teaspoon and the other side for tablespoon. Water may be added to the medicine in the glass after the medicine has been poured into the measuring glass is much more accurate for measuring the dose than a teaspoon. By way of suggestion, we beg to submit the following list to be purchased and kept in your medicine-chest, so that in case of sickness or a case you should call the doctor in during the late hour of night, you will not have to run out to the drug store for any one of these articles that you might desire. List. 1 pkg. absorbent cotton. 1 jar absorbent gauze. Ointle of zinc and carbolized ointment. 1 cup of mustard. Epsom or Rochelle salts. 1 pkg. boracic acid. 1 pkg. of sweet spirits of nitre. Compound licorice powder. Aerosol of ammonia in glass stopper bottle. Witch hazel. Essence of peppermint. Syrup of licece for croup. Custor oil. Turpentine. Soap of litchi muslin bandages. Roll of adhesive plaster. Other useful articles in case of sickness or accident: Rubber sheeting for protecting the bed. Ammonium chloride to be used in solution for sprained ankles or wrists. Linseed oil and lime water (Carbon oil) for burns. Epta glycerine. If desire you might cut the foregoing from this paper and from time to time select such articles herein mentioned for your medicine chest. If all means keep the poison locked up and out of reach of the children, and again we advise you to carefully read the labels before taking any medicine. Do not get the habit of taking medicine with animals except upon the advice of your physician. outer Harvard this fall. **Dunbar Company K. U. R. & K.

COURTESY AS A BUSINESS BUILDER The Value of a Smile—Writer, However, Cautions Readers as to the Kind—Honesty, Honor and Manhood Being the Best Brand. It is not too much to say that a smile is often the foundation of wealth and prestige. Everyone likes the sunshine for its worth and brightness. It is light; it is life; generates life. A happiness because it is life. A hidden force, though visible, yet wonderful. So it is with the smile of courtesy—it is the residence of sunshine. It is the invisible source of our power of attraction to others. It is one of nature's laws that all living of all vegetable matter, plants, trees, etc, and even mankind. It thus becomes plain why the smile of courtesy as a business asset becomes more valuable as the world becomes more enlightened and when we realize that the world today is a school of scholars and learning the apparent value of business courtesy to the man who depends upon the public in mercantile affairs, it real and intrinsic as a factor in its success is more than demonstrated. The Right Kind. The world seeks the light of sunshine is why business courtesy has its real value to the business man. It is the attraction of courtesy which causes people to patronize successful business institutions. The smile of courtesy; not the smile of flippancy, is impertinent. It is the glimpse of the shining light within which, like the gentle rays of the sun in close contact, it covers us with its warmth of kindness, the feeling of gratitude, the manliness of intellect. We are pleased with this business culture; we are not culture; we are culture; not fictitious—a thin covering of veneer that offers you its wares with the sordid feeling of gain. Who ever lived in such ignorance as to suppose that there are substitutes for honesty? No greater fool could live. It is not business courtesy to practice dishonesty and deception. It is not only unjust upon your part, but it is the injustice which first robs a client and afterwards yourself. Business courtesy means honesty, politeness, cleanliness and manliness in the conduct of your business, and if you cannot meet such requirements you will be subject to a confidence than any other person who would abuse liberty and righteousness. You are a failure, Mr. Business Manager. If you not these plain business manners, you will be subject to Guilty or Not Guilty? It is not only stupidity, but slothful ignorance for any man to smile and practice deception upon the innocent public. Your wares should be such as you represent them to be; just as your smile presupposes the token of manly spirit and fair play. If you use a smile for any other purpose you are not a fool who betrayed Christ for the paltry sum of a few dollars. Remember business courtesy means honesty, honor and manhood. EDITOR OF TRIBUNE GUEST OF R. W. THOMPSON (Special to the Chicago Defender). Baltimore, Md. Oct. 2—Editor Melvin J. Chisum, of the Baltimore Tribune, the newly-elected president of the city, spent last Saturday in Washington, D.C. He was entertained at lunch cone by former President R. W. Thompson, of the Press association, important conferences with the newspaper, the city with reference to the plans of the organization for the coming year. He visited the office of the Washington Sun and interviewed Erik H. Koehler, associate editor, Dr. J. P. H. Coleman. In all probability a local press association will be organized and a public meeting will be held for the importance of the Negro newspaper as an agency of race progress. President Chisum has great faith in the future of Negro journalism and expects to make his administration stand firm as promoter of closer relations between the press and the plain people.

I certify that I have been doing paper, and I have worm the paper out showing it to people. A fellow surely feels good when he can get his name in the paper. I have been to two big meetings since I wrote you a letter, and since that is true I think I will have to say a few things about them, and that is true through, and then I will look up something for the next letter. I went to the National Baptist convention which was held in Philadelphia, and it was a warm meeting, and I don't know whether or not I am prepared to accomplish good accomplished in the convention per se; yet there were many people there. You see, if you have never been to one of these big conventions, so many men are contending for the mastery, then you are not prepared to see things and to appreciate what done, and this was my case; but once who were there say it was great. I got to Philadelphia Tuesday before the opening of the meeting, and I had the pleasure of seeing the delegates coming in. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Rev. J. F. Thomas and his wife of seeing them from his chumma. He is indeed a man, man, wearing a beautiful gray, showing that he has spent years in the service, and I am informed that he is one of the best preachers in this country, and I believe that it is true. He portrays the physique of a man every inch of him, and then he is a man with a great expect to reach a big man like this? Well, it is possible; and I got right up to him. His wife is a fine woman and one of the women who know how to make friends. She just shook hands with me and treated me like she had been treated. Well, I enjoy meeting her and Mrs. Chavis, the widow of a preacher, and a Mrs. Mirchell. I like the Chicago people and I have an invitation to come to the next-session of the National Baptist convention; and, if I come, I will be the guest of some of the delegates invited and assured me that my board would not cost me one cent. Next Meeting in Chicago. There were other preschools from Chicago, but I did not get to talk with them, but 'heard Rev. E. J. Fisher present the invitation to come to his city and church. It was accepted. I went to them open. He convention and heard Dr. Morris make the opening prayer, and he is some praying man. I am sure the Lord heard this young man. He is from some point in Virginia, but I do not remember the town. He was not there when I met him in my little head. Then followed the addresses of welcome, and they took a recess for dinner. I am not telling all I know, and will not. It would take a newspaper in my head. In the afternoon, the president of the convention—and who indeed is a refined, polished man—delivered a masterly address, and it was a fine one I am to tell you. He knew the people and they about us and about our tongue in speaking right out. I never heard such a speech since I have been in the world, and, while I am not so old, I have heard a few addresses. The people heard him and listened attentively. After the address someone made a motion that they thank Dr. Morris, or something like that, and then it was amended to say that the rules be suspended and he be elected president for the office, and if the Lord that I was made to forget the fact that I was attending a religious convention. Men were on the floor. The convention was thrown into a circus-like uproar. They did not show much respect for the officer, and if the Lord that Dr. Claire Drake had asked to come down and be with the brethren was there they did not even respect Him. There was one little man, whose name I do not remember, acted more like a mad man than he did all kinds of shines. I think I heard someone call him Moses, but I do not remembrise his name. So many other people follow him down, and a big, fat fellow by the name of Stewart asked me if I was a newspaper man, and told me that he was the press agent of the convention and would be glad to furnish me with any information I wanted. I thanked him and told him I could get his name, and I found that I had misunderstood chunk of humanity, and take this method to beg his pardon. Rev. J. F. Thomas told me about him. I did not know before in my life that Christian ministers could get so rough. Yet I find that while they are preachers they are all men, and they do not consult Jesus when they want an earthly point, but just take things in their own hands. I learned more about them than I had ever known. In the midst of shouting and raving like Maniacs Dr. E. C. Morris was declared by Dr. W. G. Parks elected president for another year, and then the convention got down to business. He enjoyed being there then. I heard the crowd crying. I urdury night they got so rough that Dr. Morris just adjourned the convention on them. I liked to see all the things I did see. But then I shall leave this, because I went to another big convention and it was presided over by a Morris also. I went to Boston to the B. M. C. In this B. M. C. were men of the church, men of the cloth and men of the deity, men who had never seen church. In this church were there to transact business for the Odd Fellows; and at times I found that they were an improvement on the other men, and then they were Goes to B. M. C. Hon. E. H. Morris of Chicago was the grand master of the Odd Fellows, and I have never seen a man who was his equal as a presiding officer. He is just a leader of men, and I am not his equal. He has handled that convention with such ease, with such statesman-like manner that I just had to break up to him and shake his hand, and I have not felt like washing my hand since, because I shook hands with such a big man. Chicago lawyer, and he deserves the place. I was glad indeed that the Odd Fellows removed the clause and elected him grand master for another term. Rev. E. P. Jones was a candidate, but he not elected and perhaps will never be elected. I say that he is not a safe leader, or that he will not stand to his promises. I never did see him before; therefore I cannot say just what about it; and if he can be elected I would not learn that he was not a safe leader. I did not get to learn much about "Mississippi Jones," as he is called. It was a fine session of the B. M. C., and as you have had an account of it I will not give you all the officers. W. Randolph Smith of Chicago was accepted as the vice president of the art—the same man I met in Philadelphia—was made the press agent, or some other thing like that, and he is from Chicago. Rev. W. H. Mixon was made the praying man, and he did not want to be a minister, that session of the B. M. C. The selected Washington for the next session, and I hope to be there to see those people again. I shall have something to say about them and Grand Jury President in another letter. I cannot tell it all now, and will not attempt to do so. Georgians Stick Together. Georgian was there in large numbers, and they stood together like Gibraltar. I have never seen men more devoted and who stood together uninterrupted. The world admires a brave man, and Henry Lincoln Johnson went down with his men fighting. In other words, he was not elected grand master; and, before the time for voting he saw that he had been stood at the head of his men, showing that he would die bravely. They voted for him, and he will have a place in the history of this session of the B. When they closed they almost shouted. In the Quaker City. From Boston I returned to Philadelphia and had the pleasure of meeting some of the big Baptist men—Revs. L. G. Jordan of the foreign mission board, R. Robinson, chairman of the foreign mission board; J. C. Jackson, editor of the Christian Banner; W. P. Hall, pastor; Dr. Blackwell, pastor; E. W. Moore, D. D. pastor, and a host of others Bennett in Chester; stopped by and met Editor J. H. Murphy of Afro-American Ledger, Baltimore; spent a few hours in Washington, and on to this place. White in Philadelphia I will be the secretary of the Virginia Baptist state convention and a graduate from the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, who invited me to stop by and see his town and I accepted the invitation. White in Philadelphia escorted me to his home, and he is one of the preachers in this country with a home. It is a fine two-story with all modern improvements, including electric lights. He owns this home with three daughters. Rev. White has been pastor of Clifton Forge for thirteen years, and has been in the ministry eighteen years. Thus, you see, he is not a moving preacher. I will be the next one. I will spend a few hours in Chicago. A The Recruiting Office is at 3512 S.

He founded in 1847 at Rochester, N. Y. "The North Star," the title of which was changed to "Frederick Douglass Paper," and which was continued a number of years. In 1882 he founded at New Bedford, Mass., which he turned over to his sons Lewis and Frederick. He was United States marshal for the District of Columbia 1877-81, recorder of deeds in the District 1881-86, and United States minister to Haiti 1889-81.

After Trentman plead guilty he was given an indeterminate sentence of from two to twenty-one years at the state prison at Michigan City. In view of the cause of the crime which influenced Trentman, the Bruce in blood cold the light sentence which Trentman received is a striking illustration of the favoritism and partiality of the administration of the law in the American states. The facts are that Trentman shot Bruce because he would something. Trentman whiff Truitt and gave aversation between them upon the un-American and vicious principle that a black man should not talk back to a white man. It was a wanton, wilful and wicked murder, in cold blood, with no mitigating circumstances; so much so that any attempt at defense that would have shown that a life sentence would have been an act of mercy. Cuts in Self-Defense. A little white ago a man from Chicago who visiting in Indiana had some difficulty with a white man. During the altercation the Afro-American simply cut the white man, and for this reason twenty-one years in prison, when as a matter of fact he cut the white man in self-defense. But he was punished not according to the law, but in accord with the white man's will and prejudice. He had no business to cut a white man, reminding of the circumstances or justification. This case of Trentman, in the light of the case just referred to, shows how urgent it is that the race should be treated with the same state legislative bodies, but in too different branches of the judiciary as the only safe and effective means of self-protection and defense in a democracy where the administration of justice and the law is so closely allied with the law and prejudices of the different races. Justice a Mockery On the other hand it has more than a racial meaning. It discloses also the force of wealth and class as factors in the administration of justice and the law. None is so blind that he murdered a black man in gold blood under such a wicked want of excuse or justification that he was obliged to plead guilty in order to avoid legal exposure and to give the secret forces which he employed in his behalf the opportunity to serve him against the law and social standing, and through the instrumentalities of the invisible government he was let off with from two to twenty-one years. The black man cut a white man in self-defense; but he was poor and a member of the government in any presentation in the government in any presentation with no wealth to pull the strings of the invisible government, and he was given as much for cutting a white man as the white man received for murdering a black in cold blood. This is the living lesson of the American culture. How long will the people permit this injustice to continue as a blot upon American culture and civilization? T. T. ALLIAN ISSUES CHALLENGE FOR DEBATE Theophile T. Allain, Sr., uses the columns of the Illinois State Register to issue a challenge for a political debate. In part, he says: "Allow me to insert this challenge to any decently educated Colored man, whether a lawyer, a doctor or a theatrical progressive, to meet me before an audition, less than 1,000 white or Colored men and women, each to have thirty minutes, and to answer my speech in the advocacy of the reason why the nominees of the Democratic party should be elected at the election, Nov. 3, 1981, when record made in eighteen months by WILLIAM and the two Houses of Congress, as well as the reform policies adopted by the Dunne state administration."

EFENDER RACE PUGILISTS LOSING OUT AS WINNERS IS CLAIM White Sporting Writers Declare Black Man's Day as Champion of the World Has Passed—Analyze Present List. SAY JACK IS Supremacy of Caucasian Is Again Hope of Local Exists from Long- distance View of Present Notables in Prize Ring. Are the men of the race losing out as winners in the pugilistic world? Has the day of the black man's supremacy in the prize ring passed? These questions are worrying white local sporting writers. The latest to declare the black man's passing cer- tain day in an afternoon newspaper. Under large headlines he wrote as follows: Johnson Stood Supreme. "The day of the Colored man's supremacy in the prize ring seems to have passed. In few years ago the black athletes stood as world-beaters in the pope ring, and the white man who could win was considered a lucky fellow. "In the heavyweight class there was Jack Johnson, standing out supreme, with such men as Sam McVey, Joe Jeannette and Sam Langford backing um. Limp, Langford, also a light-heavy- man in that class. Then there was Joe McVey, champion lightweight of the world. The List Today. "But run over this list now. Jack Johnson is said to be a dead one, and, according to Bob Armstrong, the next man who meets Johnson will win the world's championship. Sam Langford is aging rapidly, while Jeannette and McVey are about through. Joe Gans is dead and the Colored race has no hope of winning the championship race. So from a list of the black man has slipped, and the Caucasians once more stand supreme in boxing." What Do the Fans Think? The above is the gentleman's honest opinion from a long-distance view of the present laminaries in the prize, and his language is very plain. And with the Caucasians fender is what do the mice fan think about it? Your idea of the matter will look as good in print as his did. PROGRESSIVE SIGNS OF THE TIMES During the last week or so a large number of factories throughout the country have reopened, while others are putting on additional help. It is the large order houses of Chicago that have a larger business at this time than they were during the same period last year, which proves that the country is in a very good financial condition at the present time. Our country becomes the universal trade center and prepares to utilize tremendous opportunities for business expansion. The way fate has suddenly thrown upon the United States the duty and opportunity to care for other nations, and become the trading center of the world, has notally not to our liking. America's people are not of the kind to seek advantages and trade conquests from other nations' misfortunes, and the leas from an international tragedy brought about by the human race has never seen before. The European war which so suddenly out, involving all of Europe's great and most attractive nations, caused an immediate interruption of business at the entire world. European trade was caused when war was declared. Transportation of foods and wares came to a standstill, leaving our country the only great and dependable business in the world. This is the hour of opportunity. This last week or so some of Chicago's largest real estate operators have made exceptional inducements to those desirous of purchasing homes, and a large number of the readers of this magazine have opportunities. Are you one of them? Chicago's largest real estate operators, Fred's H. Bartlett & Co., are at this time making exceptional inducements in prices and terms to those who are interested in buying home or making an investment. See their ad on last page of this issue.

He kept the audience convulsed with laughter during his allotted fifteen minutes, James Futton & Company presented a little picture from life in "The Man of Tomorrow." It was a story of an ad- venturer of a prominent citizen with the usual results. It was neatly acted and came in for a liberal share of the honors.

ATLAS THEATER OPENS Great Crowds Attend Opening of New Moving Picture House at 47th and State Street. Saturday evening, Sept. 26, it was thought that some one must have been giving away money, crowds were so thick around the corner of 47th and State street. A closer observation found it was the opening of the new Atlas Theater, 471-11-17 State street. Mr. D. A. Moody is responsible for coordinate new theater in this vicinity. Mr. T. E. Murphy is the manager. Many New Features. The Atlas is an ornate structure, finished in green and white.

"It's so pretty." The crowd, Newest and best pictures are shown and the house will be the biggest drawing card on the south side. THE UMBRIAN GLEE CLUB COMES TO LIFE More than a score of the Umbrians gathered in their initial meeting for the season. The occasion proved to be one for social enjoyment, ending in a full hour around the feasting boards of the Y. M. C. A. dining room. The fellows came in from their vacation seasons feeling they are in great shape for a banner season on the reception platform or concert forum, and the guests were in good agreement are before them. But what must the people expect when they learn that this year the Umbrians are bigger and better than ever? PROF. ROY TIBBS GIVES RECITAL FOR FEW FRIENDS Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, associate professor of Howard University Conservatory, Washington, D. C., gave a musical at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. A. Wilberforce Williams, 3408 Vernon avenue, Friday evening, Oct. 2nd, to a few of his music-loving friends of this city. Prof. Tibbs returned to Washington Saturday to resume his professional teaching in the conservatory. It is hoped by many of the people of this city that Prof. Tibbs may return in the spring and give a recital, as there are many who have expressed a desire to hear him. While in Paris, France, Mr. Tibbs specialized in piano and pipe organ and harmony. Dr. Williams thinks that Mr. Tibbs, his cousin, can be persuaded to give a recital here soon after the holidays or in the early spring. AMPHION GLEE CLUB AMPHION GLEE CLUB MISSISSIPPIALS (Singular, the Dg. Prefecture) Washington, D. C., Oct. 2—The well-known Amphion Glee Club, of which Prof. J. Henry Lewis is musical director and business manager, has begun its weekly, rehearsals after a two months' vacation, during which many of its members have been sent from the city. This is the twenty-third year of the Amphions' existence, and the formation of the club probably antedates that of any similar organization here or elsewhere. The membership this year is larger than ever, and plans are being perfected to visit Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore during the holidays, and to stage a comic operat at Eastertide. Show your interest is charity by taking your sweetheart or your wife to the Volunteer Workers' Charity Club's ball at Johnson's Dreamland Hall, 3522 State street, Monday night, October 19th.

The Martin & Motley Stock Company, now in its fifth week at Dudley's and still "going big," is putting on Edgar Martin's side-splitting farce, "A Good Clean Cook." Miss Hilarie Friend, who had her first opportunity last week in a lending role in "A Night at the Maker's," showed dramatic ability of a high order and she is correctly pronounced by S. H. Dudley and all the critics as one of the most promising young actresses that our stage has developed. She has youth and beauty and a good singing voice and will be heard from to advantage in the future. She got her start under that acting master, Edgar Hill, and was a member of his Dark town Follies" while the show was in the East. --- Frank B. Williams, the singing comedian, formerly a Washingtonian and president of the Amphion Glee Club, is making his business headquarters here at 943 S street. Mr. Williams is the composer of "Just One Word of Consolation" and "Jessamine." --- Miss Daisy Brown, formerly of Cole & Johnson's "Red Moon," made her debut with the Martin & Motley Company last week at Dudley's and got a good "hand" for her clever singing. She was also the Motley presented a "sister set" that went as smoothly as if they had been working together for months. Brooks & Ross are the new managers at the Fairland. Black Patti's Troubadours will be at the New American Theater all next week. Harrison Stewart, an old Washington boy, is the premier comedian of the show. Black Patti will appear in some new stunning gowns and has a budget of new operatic selections in her repertoire. Tillel Segin, Jeannette Murphy and Will A. Cooke have prominent parts in the comedy, "Lace Singer from Alabam!" Joe Jordan and his orchestra were here last week with "The Better Way." The great song-writer and musician was the guest of Miss Susie Sutton at 533 Florida avenue. ON AND OFF THE STROLL By Columbus Bragg. Miss Marie Loraine has made the swiftest of her every trump as a cubaret actress although she scored heavily at the Grand theatre with the lady minstrels a few weeks ago. She is one of those little brothers with a touch of charm which makes her instantly fascinating in her extreme youth and pretitious. She is very cute and dainty and admirably fits into the small space between crowded tables of the fashionable Ellwood cafe. Mr. Ollie Powers, America's great lyric tenor, is director of amusement. Anyone looking for real amusement will find it in plenty at this, the real show place of the Stroll. Miss Esmeralda Statham, the black Anna Held of the Stroll, has been called out west, to San Francisco, to entertain with a very tempting salary. Her contract begins on Oct 19, and she leaves here the 15th of October. She has hired a first-class housekeeper to care for her spacious rooming house until she returns. We will miss this petite actress very much, and her success in her new field, as she can make good anywhere. A little cute star. Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone, who became the Stroll's toast before she knew it, is ill at the Postgraduate hospital. She was such a favorite. That amiable disposition and sweet voice and smiles will not down even though she is absent. Many friends are wishing her a speedy recovery, as the elters miss her very much. Miss Caroline Lillison, the star carabestist who looms up as a charming actress, having traveled considerably and who understands the ins and outs of the secret of entertaining, still holds her own at the Elite cafe. She is able assisted by the real comedienne, Miss Lola Hicks, who could be a Parisian form model. With beautiful large eyes and a bunch of abbreviated garments, cut cubist style, she simply entrances the cabaret habitues. She is as cute as a mouse with a ball of yarn. Mr. Wm. Rivers, the music, publisher's malstay, with his sweet barktone numbers, gets more popular day by day, supported by an augmented orchestra, and the touch-off by *Don Caubey*, the premier trap drummer. Nothing too good in service at this popular resort. Mr. Lovie Joe is the Charterfieldian manager. His deci- num is superb, a rare treat here. Mrs. Lena Goodlow of Selma, Ala, the popular trained nurse, has returned home from an enjoyable visit to her popular daughter, Mrs. Jessie Bullet. She carried well wishes of The Defender and promised to push the same in her home town, as the Alabama's like the progressiveness of The Defender. May she visit the city again, as she is so refined and sedate. Miss Jessie Bullet has recen- tely gone into business. Now, I begin to feel the pulse of the strollers' desires; why they cater to that Roman caprice, Miss Lottie Merry, the pianist at the El Centro cafe. Her Roman features makes one she was the model for the woman's head, the brown, velvet-skinned, tantalizing, teasing child is a little spolied by admiration from the touch of the ivory every night. Of course, it's not the fault of the child, because she was born pretty. She is assisted by one of the most beautiful cabaretists in stardom, Miss Hazel Ellott, the winsome Jew-faced girl, whose entrenching and powerful powers are unlimited. Looks like a dolly, very Bohemian. They amuse as if a jevy of dreams. At the Monogram, No. 1, you find a very strong bill, a dashing sash brette, Miss Anne St. Claire. She is a real actress and years of experience to back her judgment in pleasing, Jones, Russell and Jones, a knockout act, retained another week, is very clever. Mr. Arthur Allen, some fiddler man. Cross and Lemonier, two very high-class conedians, should be at the Majestic or Palace theatre, but we strollers appreciate Mr. Klein's giving such high-class acts. How does he do it? At the Monogram, No. 2, we have the Stewart Bros., America's best dancing act, and their comedy is clean and classy. They score heavily at each performance. Dick and Struffin is a good team. Fisher and Cook, the premier tangolos in their society dancing, is worked automatically as the German army. But Scotch is in own Ora Crisswell, the queen of the dances. She has no equals. We could look until the millionth, having starred with Mr. Ernest Hogan in the Oyster Man and many other plays since she was a child. It is like catging to a small boy to her. You should see her. Why, Mabel, the Ahjah will come as quick as you desire. The Zaza Prophet has buried alive a young malden at the sacred mosque and is awaiting the phantom of spirits to return to the Cajew, then you will see theophian classic play called "Ahjah," a word and honor if you be patient you will see the Ahjah! The manager, Mr. A. J. Halsey, just told me. Look! there stands the Ahjah. Yan. The article Madam Lou Ella Lyles Smith, the dramatic reader, had in last week's Broad Ax on artistic lsing was simply grand. Give us another, Madame. The good book says if you know things and withhold the same, you sin. I know you don't mean to. Please come again. Madame Jann Simmons Washing-tolon popular hostesses, entertained a dream doll-eyed girl last week, Miss Pearl Patterson, the cute masterpiece with a disposition as sweet as the American rose. Both believe in and read the Greater Defender. Now don't get that deep purple idea into your head that sedate, sweet dream model, Rebecca Allen of the Plaza cafe, cannot drive away the blues, or if even you have a yellow stripe running loose, it will vanish and dance as gracefully as a deep running, with those sweet baby smiles, neat as nymph on a mountain at dew time, assisted by the dean of the Ivories, Mr. Oscar Holden. No wonder show managers are kicking from the dearth of actresses. The cabaret bosses have monopolized all the best and prettiest dreams to entertain their patrons; for instance take the elegant Gardens; the dream of a glamorous skinned dream with a soft sweet voice putting over different fresh nummers nightly, Miss Ruth Belmont is her name, so admirable and with an augmented orchestra, a beautiful fountain of youth flowing right in the center, makes one think of paradies. Juice heiglimm, the dimped roundface of the musical strong voice, is at the Mineral Springs cabaret, is simply immense. Miss Edith Adams, the enchanting waitress at the popular Asia cafe, has one of the stroll sweetest dispositions and possesses all the art of serving. She seems to have such a charming way, a new type, and those eyes, simply a pair of Tiffany diamonds set into a beautiful child face. Miss Shille Goving, the great, big baby doll-faced girl, with that exquisite voice of beautiful range and charm, perhaps more beautiful, which always makes itself felt in portrayal her numbers, which are varied, and will bring her prominence as an artist and so pretty with it, is at the Richelieu. Madame M. C. Halsey entertained Prince Unfreina Abrega of Abyssinia at tea last Sunday. Both will be in the great classic play called "Aahij." Madame Rosa Lee Tylier's ice cream parlor has added chile con carne and sandwiches to its other dainties. She will accept any messages for Columbus-Bragg and has The Defender on sale at all times. She entertained the popular North Side mortician and lady undertaker, Madame Ella E. Watkins, this week. The madame is also a regular reader of The Bigger Defender. Yes, Mabel, the Aihaj is coming. Be patient, child, like Miss Fayette Keese, the stroll's most popular girl who has already bought her seats. Miss Sallie Lelle Johnstone wishes (to thank all dear friends) that called at her apartment during her illness, as she is much better and is now at her residence, but still in bed and is convalescing. Oh, how we miss that amicable and sedate disposition, and the writer wishes her a speed recovery. As an entertainer she is unequalled in efficiency. Miss Ethi Ridley, the premier tangerist and dauisseuse and singing comedienne, will leave for Philadelphia, Pa., to visit her mother for two weeks. We wish her a joyful trip and safe return as we do all stars and best artists for the famous stroll at New York City to new New York City for her fall gowns as she dresses like a model fashion plate. The owl will watch her. A Woman's Last Request A WOMAN'S LAST REQUEST. The will that I wrote and died in London recently, contains the request that her age should not be put upon her tombstone. DEFENDER THE SYNDICATE DANCING SCHOOL If you would see the latest styles and mingle with the Elites and creams of the city, be present on Friday evening at Masonic Hall, 3956 S.

Mrs. Fannie Calloway, 7 W. 39th street, will have her fall opening in fashionable millinery Oct. 6th and 9th. Mrs. Fannie Calloway will be on Thursday. Order work a specialty. THE MOVING SIGN See the Ghost Sign from the South Side "L" Lease Discovers Discovers Electrical Fees The Fairbanks' sign which hangs over Wabash avenue as the "L" trains move around Harrison street, presents one of the most spectacular sights seen in the downtown district. Looking east on the west side of Wabash avenue, you see the sign move as it were, into the building. It is a sight well worth seeing. Turley Brothers, cigar makers at 21 E. 35th St., have just completed an order for 5,000 EI Pilos, all Havana cigars, for the Mineral Springs Club. These are pleasing signs of co-oinvention, been talked of but so seldom practiced. WHITE MAN, BLACKENED SNATCHES PURSE. A DEFENDER reporter discovered one of the old tricks that are usually pulled down south by white criminals and brutes. With a blackened face crimes of all kinds are committed and laid at the door of an innocent Afro-American. Last Tuesday evening a DEFENDER reporter was in the vicinity of 35th and Rhodes avenue, near the police station, when he heard a voice yelling: "Catch the nigger." Being young and sprightly he joined the chase to learn of the incident. The man was finally having an argument with the culprit was held until an officer came and much to the surprise of the pursuers, the man was white, with his face blackened. Many such cases will be like this in the winter. Many will get away and all will claim it was an Afro-American because his face was black. PROMINENT RACE MEN VISIT CHICAGO (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Lake Geneva, Wis., Oct. 2—Messas, Vernon Little, who recently secured the position here as general manager of an automobile supply house, and Willie Rogers, who is acting manager of the new Lincoln cafe, are in the city of Chicago visiting Friends.

The committee desires that I express their gratitude and thanks to those organizations and individuals through whose indeterminable efforts the carnival was promoted to a successful consummation, and, just we forget, I wish to here append the names of the individuals, the clubs and that were associated with the organization in the summer of 2013. C. P. in the working out of the summer tent carnival, to wit: Chicago Dental Club, Grace Presbyterian Sunday school, Phalanx Club, Tuskegee Club, Woman's Aid Society, Appatom-tox Club, Young Matrons' Culture Club, Pandora Club, Coleridge Taylor Club, Entre Nous Club, Civic Protection League, Ipsilon Delta Pi, Ipsilon Sigma Kappa. These clubs and societies working through their chosen representatives, were great friends to the committee and contributed long time and money to making the carnival a success. The young ladies and gentlemen acting as chairmen of the various committees have endeared themselves to the N. A. A. C. P. by their unremitting toll in the interest of the Summer Tent Carnival. So great were the efforts of these young people, the committee believes, that the public should be apprised of their efforts through the columns of the press. Miss Essie Arnold, chairman of donation committee, Miss Edith Madden, chairman of souvenir committee, Miss Garnetta Tibbs, chairman of booth committee, Mrs. Helen Jackson chairman of freshment committee, Miss Elizabeth Cairn, chairman of decoration committee, Mr. A. L. Weaver, chairman of construction committee, Mr. Charles E. Wilson, chairman of advertising committee, Miss Geraldine Hodges, Mr. Alfred Anderson, Mr. George Arthur, and Mr. Carry B. Lewis, press agent The aforementioned individuals were associated with the organization committee from the inception to the consummation of the carnival on August 31, 1914. The originators of the entertainment to raise money for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. were Miss Garnetta E. Tibbs and Mr. George Arthur, members of the executive committee of the Chicago branch of the N. A. C. P. Through their efforts and with the assistance of Dr. Chase E. Bentley the organization committee was formed, and the aforementioned individuals and clubs were brought into active co-operation with the committee. The committee desires to thank the Chicago Defender (the able exponent and defender of the rights of the people) for the excellent advertising it gave the carnival. Receipts to date ..... $634.76 Disbursements ..... 187.42 Balance to date ..... $447.34 By Nathan E. Caldwell, treasurer of Charles E. Bentley, chairman, Mr. Geoff Arthur, secretary, Mr. Nathan E. Caldwell, treasurer; Miss Garnetta Tibbs, Miss Elizabeth Clark, Mr. Chas. E. Wilson and Mr. A. P. Weaver SENSIBLE FASHION IDEAS By Eva L. Simpson. Paris designers have done wonders. Not much can be expected for the future. There are possibilities of more American styles. The situation in Europe makes it possible that from this time on our fashions may be of a more distinctly American origin. But people who talk of having American fashions have overlooked the fact for some time back. Ideas have crept into the foreign fashion journals which are even now credited to this country. Be this as it may, we can rest assured that American fashion differs in the general lines of dress whether in Paris, Berlin, London, New York or Chicago. An American woman traveling abroad would not want a too distinctive dress—that would be out of harmony with those around her. And on her return she would be sure to bring back any pretty and pleasing ideas she might find abroad. One thing is sure—should the European war continue, any great length of time, military effects will more or less prevail. White taffeta frocks with fitted basques and full tunic skirts are immensely popular. The proper silhouette is now erect, the spineless, slouchy carriage is no longer tolerated. New basque polonaise and redingote styles for fall are being carried out in mohair and worsted fabrics, which are always a favorite with the centuries for between season wear. The material is effectively combined with satin or pussy willow silk in sleeve and narrow skirt. Paris Fashion Ideas. Chiffon plush is a new material and will be used for street costumes and wraps. Every blouse must have its own collar. New basque, polonaise and redingote styles for fall are being carried out. Gold tissue belts are new; they come in the same pattern as the broad kid belts. It has been a long time since the shaggy, silky monkey fur has received the smile of fashion's approval, but it is considered the fur of the mobent. Frocks of white and colored materials are trimmed with this fur, which closely resembles fringe, when used as an edging on the long Dutch tunics. It is by no means confined to the use of the gown, for milliners have chosen. One creamy, well-lit the fashionable black velvet hat algettes are used to give the necessary note of airiness. Black and white hats possess a great deal of charm. There is much lace used on the nature hats—heavy clung as well as gold and silver.

For the fourth time in as many years, Grace has won the South Side championship and have journeyed to another part of the city and annexed the Cook County championship. This time the game ended in a spectacular manner. We will pause to say that Grace has played many games but none as brilliant and none on such a diamond. Both sides were charged with errors that would have easily been avoided had the Buena Park management secured better grounds. But we wou The Game.

Editor of African League World Draws Helpful Lessons for the Race from Champion's Defeat of White Hope. The African League World, monthly periodical published in Ichanan, Liberia, and Monrovia, Liberia, publishes the following in its issue for August: "Jack Johnson Defeats Frank Moran. Jack Johnson, the world's champion puglist, defeated Frank Moran of Pittsburgh, U. S. A., in Paris on the 27th of June in a fight of twenty rounds. Moran is the last hope of the white man to wrest the championship from the black race. It is now conceded that for a time the belt belongs to the Negro race, for there is now no one left in the white race to interest Jack in the ring. He is the knowned puglistic boss of the world. Two fighters are left who interest him in the ring, and they are Langford and Joe Jeannette, both Negroes. "Now, let the Negroes all take lesson from Johnson's success. You may not be a pugilist, but you may be in your calling what Jack Johnson is in his calling—at the top. Dr. Booker Washington is there as an educator; Dan Williams, M. D., of Chicago is there as a surgeon; Edward W. Morris of Chicago is almost there as a lawyer, and other Negroes of the Unit Ed States a. getting there as financialiers and Jr. other callings. Let us all take courage and move forward along all progressive lines." MOBILE. ALABAMA What the People are Doing in the Gulf City—The Latest News During the Week. By W. C. Sample.

NOTICE All matter, especially lengthy articles, must be typewritten or they cannot receive consideration for publication. For four years—1870, 1874 and 1881—Liberia exported to the United States merchandise to the value of more than $100,000 each year. For twenty years she has sold us goods varying in value each year from $25,000 to $96,000. But there has not been a single year since 1893 when Liberia has sent to us as much as $15,000 worth of merchandise, having permitted her exports to the United States to fall from $131,082 in 1881 to the ridiculously low value of $7 in 1905, $106 in 1907 and $73 in 1909. U. S. Exports Decrease. In the meantime the value of merchandise exported from the United States to Liberia has also steadily decreased from $311,218 in 1865 to $6,900 in 1913. But in 1905, when Liberia sold us but $7 worth, we sold her to the value of $5,309, and in 1909, when Liberia sold us to $7 worth, we sold her to the value of $73, we sold her commodities valued at $5,165, of which $28,006, or about 50 per cent, was for tobacco, while an additional amount of nearly $7,000 was for breadstuffs and meat. The commercial relations of Liberia with the United States are a sad story, and if the same retroregression characterizes her dealings with other nations it is reasonable to believe that the activity and production of her citizens has greatly diminished, and as a republic she either needs an infusion of new blood or the establishment of institutions like Hampton and Tuskegee, where the people can be the science of agriculture and learn the science of agriculture from which they imbibe a knowledge that will open to their vision the inexhaustible natural resources of their country and make of them producers for the markets of the world, and empire builders in fact.

WHAT I LOVE. are summer days the best when one can go about half dressed, we to roam the country wild and be a regular "nature child;" we to hear the birdies sing, go fishing and that sort of thing; love to see them hoe and plow, and feed the chicks and milk the cow. love to watch the swimming geese and how each sheep they quickly fleece. I love to just get out and lay upon a stack of new-mown hay; I love to sit beneath the moon and with some "Angel" coo and spoon. I love in fact (still I'm no shirk) most anything that isn't work. THE WASHINGTON-DU BOIS FACTIONS. FORSOOTH WHAT END WILL FINALLY BE DISCYED resulting from the various movements working within life? Upon the one hand the propaganda, "Peace at all hazards and obtain the means of prosperity in worldly goods," and in the other hand, "Resist and fight any discrimination based on color and condition." And so we find ourselves in travail between the upper and the nether millstones and certainly in the whirligig of time and tide we must finally emerge pure and undefiled from the mills of the gods. The Louisville Courier-Journal either intentionally or otherwise, misquotes Dr. Washington's speech at the last National Business League and several unfriendly race papers upon such misinformation have attempted to make capital of it. This is what Dr. Washington is quoted as saying: "The Negro should stop fighting segregation and lend his forces toward beautifying the neighborhood in which he lives." This is what Dr. Washington really said: "Let us, in the future, spend he talking about the part of the city that we cannot live in, more time in making the part of the city that we can live in "attire". Suppose a hereulean stretch of imagi- statement could be construed as meaning the pick even from the Bible, sentences when taken the opposite to what they mean when the full out? Why were such thoughts as these over your successes thoroughly eclipse your shortcom- construction will go farther in securing rights and justice than many printed pages of defense and ex- 'All the energy you have to 'knock' with, all the energy voice complaints, coin that energy into improved meth- duling your merchandise." "And so with general race damning the other fellow does not push us forward. His us cannot permanently hold us down." Mr. Washington dies always from the practical and material point of view and is for what the masses sorely need today. Professor Du Bois eds for the ethical and ideal in our race life, pleads for what the pushed product needs and demands today. They are both necessary to complete the armament of this oppressed race. But why the hysteria from the advocates of either plan of race advancement is surely both have our interests deeply at heart, and both being earnest and zealous why let the zeal become embittered with personalities? Contrast certainly there is in the two positions and contrast makes for progress and serves to whet and stimulate the appetite of the princes of both orders to work, the Prince of Peace and the Prince of War. Let them however inhabit the same sphere so we shall have within our race life our dreams and ideals, our deeds and our doings making the goal of our ambitions doubly sure and nobly won. CANNON AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN A CAREFUL STUDY OF THE RECORD of Ex-Speaker Cannon in Congress shows that he has been both friendly and active in behalf of the Afro-American. During Mr. Cannon's first term in Congress when President U. S. Grant found it necessary to investigate conditions in the State of Alabama resulting from the reign of terror by the Klu Klux Clan, Mr. Cannon was a member of the committee, appointed Congress, that brought to the attention of the civilized world to our sturdy white friends a knowledge of the poverty and the suffering and persecution, the losses of their earnings, the urge from employment, and the exile from their homes of Americans of Alabama whose only offense was that they act the part of men and cast their votes for the party they wisely believed, made them free. This one act, at a time when the race needed friends, when the situation of slavery had been overthrown scarcely more than a decade, when several million were homeless and unprotected in newly-found citizenship, should be in itself a sufficient reason cause every Afro-American voter in the 18th Congressional disfellowship to support Joseph G. Cannon in his candidacy for at in Congress. Again in 1890 when the Lodge Federal Election Bill was be- eled the 51st Congress, Mr. Cannon was the member of the House committee on Rules that reported the rule for the consideration of the bill, and he not only made an eloquent and earnest appeal, but voted for its passage. This measure was for the purpose of allow- ing the general government to supervise the elections of members of Congress, and during the consideration of the bill the race estation was the main point of discussion. If the bill had passed, urged by Mr. Cannon, conditions in the Southern states would be different and every black voter would exercise the rights as American citizenship under the protection of the Federal nment. Iore recently, Speaker Cannon, as presiding officer of the Rea- National convention in 1904, paired the race a glowing nt when he presented to the tion Mr. Harry S. All of the above are matters of public record, and it is generally known that during the time he was speaker of the House of Representatives, one of his assistant secretaries was Mr. Joseph Johnson, an Afro-American, and Harry Neal, another Afro-American, was his private and confidential messenger. Taking these facts into consideration it is difficult to understand how a single member of the race can find an excuse for not voting for Mr. Cannon, unless of course he is a purchasable and ignorant ingrate who has no thought for the best interests of his race. Unfortunately there are too many of this class of Afro-Americans in Illinois. Are you one of them? RELIGIOUS MOCKERY. RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS should quit criticising and fighting each other and spend their time, their money, their brains and their energies in waging war on the common evils that surround them. All churches are trying to travel in the same direction and striving to reach the same destination; and because one set of people want to travel a little different road than the other set is no reason they should clash. A bitter war is constantly being waged between the Catholies and the Protestants. Here the breach is so great that even the most optimistic believe there will never be even a semblance of a meeting on common ground. We are told that there is but one right way, but what mortal or set of mortals shall say this and only this is the right way? Wise men interpret the Good Book differently, hence our different beliefs. They were all honest and sincere in their convictions but not broad enough to admit those who disagree with them may also be honest and sincere in their convictions. It requires quite a stretch of imagination to believe the members of a church—it matters not of what denomination—have the true religion, or in fact any religion when they prohibit by discriminatory measures a race of people whose skin happens to be of a darker shade than their own from worshipping under the same roof with them. And yet this is done not only in the South but in the North as well. The “Welcome” over the door displayed by some churches should have the word “whites” added to it if they would be consistent. Somewhere deep in the minds of some people must be the thought that there is a little heaven, a sort of an annex, set aside for colored Christians, else they could not reconcile their views with those laid down by the writers of the Bible. We are all placed on this earth for a short time only and it behooves each and every one of us who believe in a hereafter to follow as closely as possible the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” OUR POLITICAL FRIENDS. IF WE ARE TO JUDGE BY THE UTTERINGS OF THE DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES' boosters, as the slang expression goes "we don't know just where we are at." The Democrats paint us a rosy picture of what they are going to do—in the future—if we will but give them our support. The Republicans point with pride to what they have done for us in the past, while the Progressives bid us welcome—in the North—and promise everything within reason we could wish for. Is it to be wondered at that those who have not given the matter deep study, should be on the fence knowing not which way to fall? There is one thing that the voting members of the race have learned and learned well, and that is to take nothing hereafter on faith, the party that promises and does not fulfill their promise has but one chance and that is all. We know what the Republicans have done for us, we are realizing what the Democrats are doing to us, what the Progressives will or will not do is a question. In local politics the party does not count so much as the man, and we should make it a point to vote always for the man who will best conserve our interests. Chronic office seekers should make way for new timber. A man for instance, of the type of Robert R. Levy, who is the Republican candidate for clerk of the criminal court, should claim our support because, first, he is upright and just, a business man in our immediate neighborhood, and a man who has the distinction of having the office seek him rather than he seeking the office, and there are numbers of just such men on the ticket. The coming election will be an important one and we should by our votes, make ourselves felt in the community and above all stick to the candidates who are in a position and will do something for you and yours, remembering "self-preservation is the first law of nature." A DAY OF PRAYER. "PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN." How forbly these words strike home, in this, the hour when nearly all the world is at war. Think of it in this supposedly enlightened age thousands, aye millions, are engaged in hunting their fellow man and in the most approved manner sending him into eternity, and for what? How many in these vast armies know? They are driven as one would drive a herd of cattle and made to do the bidding of their superior officers. It is well that the Christian people of America have set aside Sunday, October the fourth, as a day in which to pray for the cessation of war, not that the good people fail to pray each and every day, but if the minds of the masses could be centered upon the horrible picture presented by the old world powers, there would be kindled in the breast of everyone that spirit of compassion and toleration for the offender that is only found in the true Christian. And that is why President Wilson, the governors of the different states, the ministry and the press have all appealed to the public to set aside this particular Sunday as a day of prayer, a day when millions of voices will be raised to Him to speedily end this seemingly needless waste of human life. To those who are unable to attend some place of worship let them not forget to offer their mite. THE FUTURE RACE PROFESSOR DU BOIS IS GIVEN CREDIT FOR THE STATEMENT, "The future of the world will depend upon what the colored races make it." The Winnipeg Telegram in commenting says, "Professor Du Bois's enthusiasm for his race is admirable, but he must not expect even the most sympathetic friends of the Negro to agree with these radical views." The learned editor forgets that the greatest sociologists agree that in years to come there will not be a purely white race, so called. The darker races are so overwhelmingly in the majority that they will eventually absorb the weaker race numerically, and out of the melting pot will come a sun-kissed race with complexion as swarthy as our native Indian. There is nothing far-fetched or impossible in Professor Du Bois's statement, and it is only the thought of the commingling that gets on the nerves of our white brothers. CHARITY. WHEN IT COMES TO SYMPATHIZING WITH FOREIGN PEOPLE it matters not what befalls them, Americans have inform the dear public that so much money or so much supplies is needed to alleviate the suffering of one or more persons of foreign address, when lo, as if by magic the needed is forthcoming without a murmur. It might be a good idea right along through here to bear in mind that conditions in this country are not as favorable as they might be, that there are thousands out of employment, that the poor and suffering are right at our door, that the winter with all its disagreeable features is upon us. These and other things should make the man or woman with means think. Charity begins at home. Why not practice it? BOLEY, OKLA. COMMON FOR AN UNUSUAL SHARE OF FREE ADVERTISING, doubtless because it is exclusively a town of our people. The friendly press find in this little settlement a tangible evidence that the race is capable of great things when given the opportunity. Here ambition, thrift and capacity stand boldly out. It is necessary, as every branch of the local government is in their hands. The prosperous farmers in the immediate neighborhood are largely responsible for the prosperous condition of the town. The "back to the farm" movement at least suggests a solution to lessen the vice and crime record of our people in the big cities. "THE SUN DO MOVE" after all. A young Texas lad was recently awarded a bronze medal and $2,000 to be used for educational purposes, for saving the life of a little white girl who was about to be crushed by an automobile. The fact that the money was stipulated to be used only for educational purposes shows that the people of that section are beginning to realize that education means everything as far as good citizenship is concerned. The bad Negro or the bad white man is usually illiterate. Texas isn't the broadest state in the union but a straw will tell way the wind is blowing. TURKEY'S REPRESENTATIVE in Washington was so rude he told both President Wilson and Secretary Bryan that people in glass houses shouldn't bathe in the daytime, or in other words, before they were in a position to talk about the "religious atrocities" in Turkey, they had better stop lynching and persecution in their own free country. THE AVERAGE MONTHLY SALARY OF SCHOOL TEACHERS in Arkansas is $43, and they receive that for 5 3-10 months, the school year. Those engaged in enlightening the younger generation in this part of our country will never be hump-backed from carrying their salary. IT WOULD PAY a number of our mothers to look after their sons and daughters in high school. Quite a few are seen downtown on the lake front and in doorways about the city. Have the teachers send you their monthly reports. THERE IS REALLY NO ARGUMENT about which is the largest and best race paper published; we modestly admit we have it. BUT JUST SUPPOSE that some foreign war vessel should anchor out in the lake and drop more "bums"—pardon the spelling—on State street than they now have. Perish the thought. THESE FEW WARM DAYS have made the "Stroll" assume its normal condition. It's strange the effect a little cold wave has on the sons of Ham. WELL, ANYWAY, FOOTBALL isn't so brutal as some of the things our friends across the water are doing. Race Discrimination in Chicago bers infest the so-called black neighborhoods, follow and hound its women to such an extent that it is next to impossible for a woman of good appearance to walk in the street unescorted after 7 o'clock without being repeatedly subjected to the insults and indecent assaults of white women who act upon the principle that any woman of color may be approached and degraded at their wish and will. Afro-American men and women seeking redress in the courts face other outrages can seldom seize, warrant against these white law-breakers and should they be successful in getting out a warrant, the white men are given such small fines as to amount of nothing and in most cases they are turned loose outright. . . . Not only are some of the judges poisoned with this virus of race discrimination, which is undermining the sound administration of justice in Chicago, but it seems that the police department is especially filled with the wicked and unlawful determination to degrade Afro-Americans and to fix upon them the badge of inferiority, and upon every opportunity and every possible occasion an excuse or pretext is found to arrest, fine and imprison Afro-American men for no crime whatever and for no other purpose than to impress the Afro-American people that they are inferior to other races and that Afro-American women must be given up to the unsatiated and unbridled lust of white men without protest or complaint. Concerned officers are given instructions to arrest, and all black men found in the company of white women, regardless of circumstances, and so brutal and violent are some of these race-hating officers in their haste to punish men for being other than white, that they frequently arrest men with light mutate wives for simply walking along the streets. Afro-American people are not only discriminated against in restaurants and other public places on account of their race and color, but this discrimination is manifesting itself more and more in the courts of Chicago. Upon good authority some of the judges of the municipal court have not only sanctioned this base and unlawful discrimination by refusing to execute the laws of Illinois in protection of the Afro-Americans and other citizens of this state, but they have gone further and punished black men for no other act than being found in the company of white friends, simply because they were black. On the other hand, white men in countless num DEFENDER GROWS IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS Among the evidences that the people are appreciating the CHICAGO DEFENDER are given in this issue.

Lley, Chicago, Ill. Chicago, Ill. Ill. 7, 3159 State street, Chicago, Ill. and other security holders, holding bonds, mortgages, or other securities: R. S. ABBOTT, Editor. me this 30th day of September, 1914. ENRY E. GERRY, Notary Public. 1914.) DEARLY BELOVED, Rulers: Powers of Europe, greeting! My service in your employ, as yet but brief, My appetite but whetted, I froth for the fuller Feast, the larger feed; my fingers but dipped in Blood; my ears but faintly assailed by the groans Of perishing fools, who, calling it Patriotism, Trampled each other to march behind my banner, I burn for a grander sight! A nobler melody! I would BATHE in blood! FEED my ears with the groans Of MILLIONS, as yet unheard: A swelling roundelay, To me so sweet, of rising sobs, and breaking hearts. And so, I have asked this conference; not to challenge Your supremacy; being your loyal vassal, but, lest Appealed to in a moment of temporary satiety of your Feast of blood, by a horde of creatures who prate CALVARY and a certain PRINCE OF PEACE, you should be Moved to whistle off the game, and thus remove me from My job. True I am WAR, nicknamed HELL, and well I know in YOUR GREATER moments, filled with a frenzy to glut Your KINGLY dignities, you're proud of me, and many Times have sat at meat around my crimson board; but, Withal, my Lleges—and I know not why, for the first Time, since our continent was young, I am annoyed, by A new and STRANGE concern; and while, I repeat, I itch for a Greater carnage, this pest of SOMETHING: Can it be the thing Called CONSCIENCE—keeps up a buzzing in my ear. Concocted in the school of Kings: Spawn of LILIPUT and DIVINE RIGHT, I should be, and am ashamed of this Concern; but, let the truth be told, moved I am. Can it be, O Masters, for you and I, "The times are Out of joint," "The universe changing front?" is the right of MIGHT, so long enjoyed by us; our Sense provergative, hollowed through the centuries, At last to be challenged? POWERED? And, by COMMON MEN; who, since that GLOURIOUS period when they were Slaughtered to make "A Roman Holiday," have been The prey and "Sport of KINGS?" Still, I am curious of these men of mildness; A strange breed; and yet, so seeming wise, so brave, but, NOT to kill; who, of late, meet me at every turn, confront Me, at each field of slaughter; bearing banners inscribed With these devices: Thou SHALT NOT KILL—Blessed Are The PEACE MAKERS—RIGHT is Might—ARBURTATION, Not, Murder! AWAY With DIPLOMATS; talking a stuff, that to me, was Gibberish, and yet it strangely fretted. But hark! The roaring cannon! The rocking earth! Glorious Music; the strife is on again. Majesties! King! Your vassal Is Himself once more! ALWAYS HE IS WAR! Always your SERVILE aid. But, lest in the pursuit of your larger glory, you overlook MY pride of place in its creation, do not you forget that, When unchained, DEVASTATION shouts, and CARNAGE licks his chops. I destroy the INNOCENT, Deflower WOMANHOOD, Scourage the GOOD, raise the EVIL, start the TEAR, DRINK the Blood! Cities I RAZE, the Arts DEMOLISH, TRADE, "The calm health of nations—IT—Murder! The White Flower of PROGRESS, so dubbed by flat-head Dreamers; the RIGHTS, so claimed, of TOILERS, audacious Worms, I grind beneath my heel! Ah, Sires, THAT is the life! "The SPORT of KINGS"—indeed! For SUCH as YOU and I, O Powers, there seems no other. W. ALLISON SWEENEY In the Chicago Evening Post, Wednesday, Sept. 20. THE EDITOR'S MAIL DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Mr. E. Headerson, R. F. D.

The Defender's Legal Helps: I am informed that I am compelled to put up a deposit of $9 with the telephone company to have a telephone installed in my home. Will you please inform me if that is the law or a rule of the company? Sign Your Name. S. D.—No attention is paid to communications unless they are signed with the writer's full name and address. What a Little Ad Did. Mackinaw Island, Mich. Sept. 28, 1914. ANSWER.—There was a rule requiring a subscriber to deposit a certain amount with the telephone company in order to have a phone installed, but there is no such rule now and you may have a telephone installed without such deposit, but a new rule is being rigidly enforced, that if payments the company are not promptly made when due, the service will be suspended and a charge of $2 for renewal must be paid by the subscriber each time the service is discontinued for non-payment. To the Editor: Please discontinue my advertisement. I have more applicants than I have places. I received letters from Calro, Union City and all over Michigan, while they are still coming from Chicago. I know now how to get help when I want it. A. J. STRINGFELLOW. Is This the Mr. Hayden? An Evanson reader has made inquiry as to whether the Mr. Hayden, aviator, who is at present in Lake Forest, Ill., is the same Mr. Hayden who was in Chicago about three years ago. We do not know, but have a slight recollection of a man by that name who advertised an exhibition at Hawthorn race track and who failed to show up. If he is the same man he will remember that on that occasion many persons were faked out of the price of admission and longed to see the promoter of the event. The Mann Act. Sept. 28.—The Defender's Legal Helps: I understand that the Mann Act, known as the White Slave Act, applies only to the unlawful transportation and trafficking in women belonging to the white race, but as my information is from no authoritative source, I should like very much to know if it applies to women of all races? ANSWER—You have not been correctly informed concerning the application of the Mann Act, as it applies to women of all races, and if it applied only to women of any particular race it would be discriminative and in violation of the United States Constitution. Rested After His Run After a wild run in South Boston, in which the animal tore down about twenty feet of a wooden fence, smashed down a section of brick wall, broke a few windows in a schoolhouse, snapped off short a lamp post and crashed through a wooden gate, incidentally damaging the sides of two buildings, not to mention injuring the men who were on the wagon, a horse he rescued to a brewery wagon wedged him down the street and when found was munching contentedly such grass as he could reach from his position. Pony's Remarkable Jump A remarkable foat was performed recently by a polo pony belonging to an officer at Aldershot, England, when it cleared an eight-foot hedge beside a railway embankment. The animal took fright in the village of Weybourne while being ridden by a lad, who was thrown but uninjured. Have You Provided for Your Future? It is now high time for you to answer this question.
