If You Don't Want Our Patronage You Should Not Want Our Vote LATEST NEWS If You See It In The Defender It's So (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 30—The Afro-American voters in this section have just realized what a powerful weapon the ballot is. Under the capa- tion, "If You Don't Want Our Patronage You Should Not Want Our Vote," the following letter is being sent broadcast: The condition is almost as bad in Chicago and other cities. Race prejudice is on the increase in restaurants, saloons, theaters, and other public places. Race-hating proprietors lay awake nights planning how to discourage Afro-American patronage, and yet keep within the law. They figure that the entire race is like so much putty in the hands of a painter. They abuse and insult at their will and then expect undivided support when election time comes around and votes are needed for themselves or their friends. But happily, a new era has dawned. The Afro-American voters, both men and women, realize the power of the ballot and are determined to use it accordingly. Rome was not built in a day; neither are reforms brought about so quickly but slowly. Step by step the Afro-American will demonstrate the fact that the race must be reckoned with according to its strength, and the other fellow has begun to realize it. } VOL. IX., NO. 44. ALONG THE LINE OF PROGRESS IN RAILROAD WORK Mr. Henry Azmond, Traveling Instructor of Waiters of the Southern Pacific Company, Brings Service Up to High Standard. RISES THROUGH MERIT. Story of the Success of a Worthy and Efficient Man Who Has Infused His Own High Ideals Into Hundreds of Dining Car Waiters. Following up its story of the one thousand Afro-American employees of the Southern Pacific R. R. Company in its last issue, The Chicago Defender herewith presents to its readers the photograph of Mr. Henry Azmond, traveling instructor of waiters. Mr. Azmond is fifty years of age and was born in Gallatin, Tennessee. He is every inch a man, and one of which the race is proud. I am assuming, intelligent, polite, honest and manly, and because of natural ability he has won from his superiors their unstinted praise. After twenty-two years of faithful service he now represents officially the highest standard of the culinary art of one of the largest corporations in the United States. The barriers of prejudice in this instance have been cast aside, allowing merit and honesty their fitting rewards; and from the submerged Afro-American manhood, long suffering from the ills of racial prejudice, comes the gallant and manly Mr. Azmond, a brilliant and successful railroad representative. Instructs 600 Men. The dungeon chains are broken! Behold the star of the East! Honest recognition of manhood and ability in the industrial world means as much to the Afro-American as did the Emancipation Proclamation. The Southern Pacific Co. has its efficiency test in every department. In spending its millions of dollars for equipment it recognizes the importance of intelligent labor as a factor necessary in the execution of its plans. In employing Mr. Azmond, who directly instructs each waiter in the department, and there are more than six hundred men, we readily appreciate the importance of perfect service required by this company in its effort to serve the public. Combine Brains, Hand and Heart. Politeness, team work, cleanliness, intelligent application of skill, working with the brains, hand and heart, thus giving work the dignity which it should have, are the teachings of the company through its agent, Mr. Azmond. This narrative is not long; our motive is simple. It is our desire to place before the public the actual truth concerning the Afro-American. His vices have received the advertisement which would be creditable to Barnum & Bailey's circus, while his virtues are unsung. Mr. Azmond has served in his present capacity for three years. He has under considered a plan whereby the thrifty and progressive men in the service (and with a view to eliminate all others) may acquire a knowledge of French, German and Spanish languages, which he considers a necessary requisite to successful catering upon railroad trains.

Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY CUBA INCREASES PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION FUND Breaking Out of European War and Possibility of Balance of Trade Shifting to Western Hemisphere Spurs "Pearl of the Antilles" to Greater Effort. WILL ENLARGE DISPLAY. General Castillo Returns to Arrange for More Varied Exhibit—Display to Be Most Attractive of Any Western Country. Special to the Chicago Defender. Los Angeles, Cal. Oct. 30.—When the Cuban government made its appropriation of $250,000 for its pavilion and the installation of its exhibits at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition it sent one of its younger war heroes, General Ernesto Loynaz del Castillo, to San Francisco as the head of the Cuban Commission, with instructions to install the most elaborate and instructive series of exhibits ever shipped out of the Pearl of the Antilles. General Castillo, aided by expert assistants, including Colonel Fredericks, city engineer of Havana, had the government pavilion partly completed and a marvelous array of exhibits under way before the European war broke out. Realizing that this would mean a shifting of the balance of trade to the western hemisphere, Cuba promptly announced her intention of doing what most of the great South American republics are doing, or are likely to do; that is, to increase the amount of her expenditures at the exposition and make a greater display than she had contemplated. To that end General Castillo has returned to Havana with the intention of bringing back to San Francisco still larger and more varied exhibits. Exhibit to Excel. "If a quarter of a million dollars is not enough," declared the commissioner general, "we shall spend a good deal more than that. We are bound to make Cuba's showing before the world one of the most attractive of any western country; and since Argentina has seen fit to increase her appropriation from $1,360,000 to $1,700,000 gold, and as we expect that the old world war will increase the attendance at the exposition, we are resolved to do even better than we had planned." More Garden Space Wanted. The style of the Cuban pavilion, which occupies a lot 160 feet square between the Presidio gate and the Japanese temple, is Spanish renaisance. A conservatory stocked with the rarest tropic flowers will open off the patio. Cuba has asked that the garden space allotted be increased, so that her unique landscape gardening possibilities may be realized in a way to make a fitting floral setting for so ornate a building. It is possible this structure may be offered to the United States government as a gift to be used as permanent officers' quarters and club house for the Presidio authorities after the close of the exposition. BISHOP CALDWELL SEEKS HEALTH ON PACIFIC COAST Noted Prelate of the A. M. E. Zion Church Lectures in Los Angeles—Sketch of the Scholarly Presiding Bishop and the Work of His Connection. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 30.-The A. M. E. Zion Church, Pico and Paloma streets, was visited recently by its presiding bishop, J. S. Caldwell, D. D., who has charge over the Ohio, Kentucky, West Alabama, California and Hawaii conferences. Bishop Caldwell is visiting the coast for the fun use of regaining his health. He was prevailed upon, however, to give one lecture at the church, which was enjoyed by a large gathering of representative people. Industrious as Student. Born in North Carolina in 1861, Bishop Caldwell's educational opportunities were few until he reached the age of fifteen years, but by dint of severe application and remarkable perseverance he at length secured much training, graduating from Livingston College, North Carolina, in 1883, and later from Union Theological Seminary, New York City. He was then made financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, a position which he held for several years, resigning when elected bishop in 1904. It has been said of Bishop Caldwell that "he is physically, mentally and morally one of the highest types of Afro-American manhood. As a man of singular and exceptional executive ability, as well as a financier of his church, he has been pre-eminently successful. His reverent and fearless attitude in defense of right principles has been his dominant characteristic. With a singleness of purpose, keenly alive to the needs of his race, he has risen from obscurity and by his own labor has attained the highest position in his church." Churches Worth $4,900,000.

His wife was also hurt. Mr. Harrold and wife were coming from Lexington to Frankfort, Ky., in their motorcycle. When they reached the suburbs of Versailles they saw two men racing. He guided his motorcycle out of the way of one and was run into by the other. The shaft of the buggy ran through his breast and his arm, leg and neck were broken. The body of the manled man lay on the ground, and his wife is in a precarious condition. It was moved to Frankfort, Ky., and enbalmed by T. K. Robb. Mr. Harrold graduated from Armour Institute, Chicago. After graduation he married and entered business. He came here two years ago and made a fine record as an electrician.

Washington delivered an address to the white and Afro-American citizens at the opening of the Southwest Georgia Fair Association. He made an appeal for fair play and justice. His address was a master stroke and it won many friends. He said in part: "As I intimated in the beginning, there are two races here in Georgia. You are going to live in this state together. We can do much to help ourselves. The white man can do much and is doing much to help us make progress. I wish that the white people throughout the South might possess the same liberal sentiment toward helping the colored people that I find exhibited here in Albany, and in Dougherty county, on these fair grounds today. Everywhere it pays the white man to treat the race with justice and with consideration. I want the white people of this section of Georgia to be more liberal and thoughtful, and that is in helping and improving the Afro-Americans' educational districts in the country. To be plain: Half the Afro-American children in the state of Georgia enter no school—that is, they are growing up in ignorance. Five hundred thousand of the Negroes in Georgia are engaged in farming for themselves or for somebody else, but the time has come, and nothing proves it more clearly than the conditions brought by the present war, that we have got to have intelligent farmers—those who can diversify their crops. In slavery a man could be worked, but in freedom a man has got to be taught to work." Mr. James Wagner Dead. Mr. James Wagner, 3149 Groveland Ave., an old resident of this city and well known in politics, died after a long illness Tuesday. His funeral will be held Sunday, conducted by the Masous. In its general conference of last year great emphasis was placed upon the importance of having trained and efficient ministers. There are 2,250 churches of this denomination, whose property is valued at $4,900,000. Prominent among the workers of this religious organization is Bishop Alexander Walters of New York City, who was the special guest of the Christian Endeavor (national association), which held its convention in Los Angeles about a year ago. e You Sh NATIVE SI HE FIGHTING , La," the Terrible Congo Soldier, App ounded Is the Wonder of the World.

Special to The Chicago Defender. Frankfort Ky., Oct. 30—The controversy between the students and President Russell of the Frankfort Normal and Industrial School came to a climax last week when the students in their uniforms marched to the city to make an appeal to the people against "Russellism." Russell, who is a Democrat, has had things his way and has been running the school accordingly. He ran things with such a high hand that the students balked and a hundred or more marched to the courthouse. Russell swore got warrants against them, charging them with breach of peace. From the courthouse they proceeded to the Capitol to call on the Governor, and he received them in the reception room. They told of the ejection from the dormitory Monday night of Willia Mue Torion and her arrest, the expulsion from school of 56 girls and 25 young men; the alleged threat of President Russell to drive girls from the dormitory who refused to sign a petition endorsing him, and an assault on Prof. Jones were the chief complaints made at a mass meeting at the First Baptist Church. The Governor's Talk. The Governor talked to the students like a fair-minded executive should. The advice was fatherly; he told them of their civic duties. He mentioned his own interest in the education and uplift of Afro-Americans and said the young folks had acted hastily. He was cheered in his speech and said he would communicate their protest against Prof. Russell to the Board of Trustees. The Governor told the students that they must make more specific charges to the Board of Trustees, who elects the president of the institution. It will be remembered that Prof. Russell, being in bad graces with the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the state, graduates from the school last June did not have their diplomas signed by the superintendent. Feeling against Russell has been high ever since. COLOR PREJUDICE MUST BE ABOLISHED IN CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION One of the averages of an Afro-American woman who took an examination for policewoman came to this office. The contestant made a splendid average, almost excellent in every subject, but marked down on oral subject in order to be below the average of 70 per cent. For instance, one lady made 67.78 percent. She made 100 in mathematics and 60 in an oral test which a child could have made 90 or more. In the oral test is where the Afro-American women fail. Let us see that color prejudice is eliminated in the civil service examination. RENT YOUR ROOMS Why have a vacant room in your flat when it can be rented by placing a small ad in The Defender?

OOH! LA!, HIS BODY MASS OF WOUNDS, LAUGHS Calls for Cigarette and Tells Doctors to Take Care of Others—Graphic Story of Bravery and Fortitude of the Famous Warriors from Congo Free State. PARIS, Oct. 30 (By Mail to New York). "I'm not allowed to give any information to the German soldiers, but if you have any friends in the German army, you'd better tip them off that if they see among the enemy a medium-sized black man with a big smile who answers to the name Ooh! La! they'd better shoot first or beat it," says William G. Sheppard, in his special correspondence to the Chicago Evening Post. "My friend Ooh! La!

It takes a special superlative murder ousness to make a fighter conspicuous in a crowd like Ooh! La!'s! At last there came the battle with the Germans on the Onue, near Meaux, where, with ten to one against them, the men from Africa fought with bullets, knives, bayonets and fists, singing like devils, treating German bullets and shells as if they were only mosquitoes. The result was that the Germans went away from there and that about 10 o'clock that evening the American ambulance corps in Paris got word that there was need for them at Meaux. The American doctors reached the deserted town about midnight and were led by an aged peasant strangler to the church. It was an inferno of pain. Three hundred and fifty black men were stretched about on the stone floors, all wounded. The building was in pitch darkness except for one candle which was bobbing about in ghostly fashion at the altar end of the aisle. The doctors found it was carried by a peasant woman who was doing her best for the wounded by washing their ghastly injuries with arnica, her household remedy for all aches and pains.

DENISON Race in City and County Should Vote to Have Representative on County Board of Commissioners. When the 200 citizens agreed that Franklin A. Denison was to be one of the ten men to run on the Rep- ublican ticket for County Commissioner, the defender was the first and only race paper to immediately endorse a candidate, qualified, and could withstand the most microscopic criticism when the daily press would mirror forth his public acts. Every daily paper and voting league had to say that he was clean and would make an efficient pub- lic servant. This committee of 200 sought him because of the strength he would add to the ticket. Because he was a Republican, he would be honourable servant. That during the House administration he handled $5000 of the public funds without the loss of a single penny. His long standing as a Republican, true and tried, his ability as a lawyer of the first rank, a man of public affairs interested in the race should commend Colonel to every voter. If he be elected, remember we will have a representative, a man of spokesmen for he to be our spokesman for the lotted by the board. Put an X by the game of Franklin A. Denison. LILYDALE.

The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry can be truthfully called the "flower of the United States Army." Recent events along the Mexican border where the famous troopers and the American boundary have proven fine tests of their courage and self-control. Late last week it was learned from Naco that the Mayortea forces, partisans of the Villa faction in the Mexican imbroglio, had been defeated with heavy losses during their attack on Naco.

Panker—"Yes, indeed. He was entirely too fresh. There's a decent way to do that, you know. If he wanted to get the money, why didn't he come into the bank and work his way up the way the rest of us did?"—Puck. First American Sugar Factory First American Sugar Factory. America's first beet sugar factory was erected in Philadelphia in 1830. It did its first success and was dismantled. The first successful beet sugar factory was built in 1857 in Alvarado, Cal.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER TH CAVALRY COURAGE; IN ORDER DUTY Four Cavalrymen Wounded. Bullets from the rifles of the Indians, who hurled themselves against the entrenches of the Carranza forces under General Hill, passed to this village. Seven persons were bound including four troopers of the Ninth United States Cavalry on duty here to protect the American town.

The prolonged siege of Naco has been a trying one to the Ninth and Tenth Regiments and their white officers, as well as to the defenders of the Mexican town. They have been subjected to heavy fire, but the orders under which they are operating prevent them from returning the fire except in extreme cases. The Americans have maintained order here under regulations bordering on martial law and have taken the situation with cheerfulness. Many officers and men have been on patrol in the battle, which already has lasted seventeen days, and have not had their clothes off during that time. REV. AND MRS. ANDERSON CELEBRATE TWENTIETH WEDDING ANNIVIERSHY The Rev. J. C. Anderson and wife, S. 2 Calm avenue, celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary on Thursday night of last week. It was a brilliant affair. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. D. Cook. There were guests from Minneapolis, Evanston and a host of friends from all Methodist and Baptist churches. The ladies in the receiving line with Dr. and Mrs. Anderson were gowned beautifully. A coincidence was that Dr. Cook, who preceded Dr. Anderson, celebrated his twentieth anniversary in the same parasangue. Dr. Jennifer one of the oldest ministers in the institution, was present with a host of other ministers. Dr. and Mrs. Anderson received a number of humane presents. The guests were beautifully served by a special caterer. Dr. and Mrs. Anderson stated to a befriend reporter that they were greatly pleased with the hospitality of the Chicago people.

The squirrel is able to tell a good from a bad nut, man has to bite into the nut and get a bad taste before he knows of his error.

He Didn't Worse A member of the Providence bar one day met an able and conscientious judge on the street and said to him: "I sec. judge, that the supreme court has overruled you in the case of A versus Z, but you need feel no concession to your reputation." "No, indeed," answered the court accordingly. "I don't; I'm only concerned about the reputation of the supreme court."—Lipincott's. "Vaudeville." The term vaudeville, which is now understood in the old meaning of the variety show, originally meant a short, light dramatic piece in which songs set to familiar tunes were introduced. It took the name from the village of Vaudevire, in Normandy, the birthplace of the poet Olivier Basselin, who was the first to compose such songs. He died in 1418. When Embarcassed A successful singing teacher gives this remedy for embarrassment: A deep breath inhaled and exhaled slowly with the help of the diaphragm muscle.

First Field Artillery The first field artillery was devised by Gustavus Adolphus. His beaten copper guns, wrapped in leather, could be fired faster than a man could fire a musket. It was due to the proficiency of his artillery, more than any other reason, that he was able to carry on the Thirty years war. News Notes of the Nation's Capital Washington, D.

Following out the principle at the bottom of the "buy-a-bale" movement among the whites, and in line with the activity of the white society women who have been giving fashionable entertainments clad in elaborate toilette made completely of cotton, it is said that a number of colored social factors have determined to give a man wearing all and of the ladies are to wear wearing all of the fleecy fabric. No class is mentioned in the encouragement of the cotton market than the colored people whose kindred in the South "make" 30 per cent of the entire output of American cotton.

While vegetables and flowers for sale are grown on a large scale, of much vaster proportions is the business in flower and small seed. The larger Erfurt seed company has part of the civilized world, the United States importing large quantities of Erfurt horticultural products. The Brain's Control It has long been a common phytological knowledge that the left half of the brain has full command over the right side of the body, while the right half of the brain exercises a like command over the left side of the body. An electric shock applied to the right half of the brain will cause movement on the left side of the body; similarly the left half of the brain so stimulated affects the right side of the body. Oldtime Needlework. Needlework is so rapidly becoming a lost art that it is in the nature of a fairy tale to explain that something like half a century ago little girls, not especially precocious, either, learned the fundamental principles of threading a needle and pushing it through the fabric at the age of two and one-half years, and by the time they were three, pegged away at squares of patchwork, ultimately completing "quilts" for future use. Released in the Prospect James, who is not a natural student, one day was observed to seem very happy about something. A sympathetic neighbor inquired the reason for his joy.

Effects of Tuberculosis Professor Pishburg finds tuberculosis almost invariably producing either an exaggerated ego and colossal selfishness, or a great susceptibility to suggestion.

STATES HE TRAVELED BEST IN UNION FOR RACE Twelve Thousand Afro-Americans Now Inhabit Part of Country Mr. York Waited 11 Years Ago—Many Are Free, Some Are Poor Every Privilege of Free America By Charles E. Hall. Washington, D. C., Oct. 20, — Possibly the first Afro-American to visit the territory now constituting the states of South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon was a Virginian by the name of York, Mr. York accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804-06 from a point in Illinois opposite the mouth of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Columbia River in the state of Oregon on a trip of exploration which easily ranks as the greatest the United States has ever attempted and from which the government received the first idea as to the extent and the cultural resources of the vast domain known as the Louisiana Purchase. The purchase was made from France by President Thomas Jefferson on April 20, 1803, for the more ptistance of fifteen million dollars, a sum less than one-half the value of an annual wheat crop in the present state of Washington, through which they trebled, or an amount equal to just two-thirds of the value of an annual production of cereals in a state of North Dakota, which was formed from a small part of the territory included in the purchase. Dr. Wheeler's Tribute to York. Concerning this sturdy and forgotten Afro-American who accompanied the party Dr. John Dunbar Wheeler in his highly instructive book, "The Tall Tale and Clark," says in one of his numerous references: "York, it is easily imagined, was the observed of all the observers, the curiosity of all the party, to the red men. He was a Negro slave to Captain Clark, and the one individual who extracted from the exploration the largest amount of money and superial enjoyment his colorful strength were a revelation to the Indians and he was looked upon as a god. The tribes from the mouth of the Missouri to the mouth of the Columbia took particular pains to propitiate his sable majesty and he was overwhelmed with feminine attentions. The Lewis and Clark exploration was the existence of York, the Virginia Neck, whose efficient service made him a most useful member of the expedition, was given his freedom by Cap MOBILE.

Twelve Thousand Present Population There are now living in the six Northwestern states mentioned as having formed a part of the country through which Mr. York travelled 111 years ago nearly twelve thousand Afro-Americans, of whom forty-four in every hundred were born in the South, a fact that indicates that the progressive men of the Southland have at last found an outlet; have found a rich and fertile part of the country where they are welcome; where a person's intelligence and good citizenship inclination upon the color of his skin and other ethnic characteristics; where the laws are impartially administered to black and white alike; where they can send their children to school from six to nine months during the year; where they can escape the degrading and humiliating effects of "Jim Crow" legislation. In short, they have found in the Northwestern states conditions which largely appeal to their manhood, to their intelligence, to their intense love for American institutions, and for everything that is American—everything but one: the unjust American prejudice. Though still small in number, the Afro-American population in these states increased 85 per cent during 1900 to 1910, in the state of Washington, where the largest number live, there was an increase of 141 per cent, followed by 116 per cent, in North Dakota, 106 in Idaho, an increase of 75 per cent, in Wyoming, an increase of 20 and 20 per cent in South Dakota, Oregon and Montana, respectively. Little did York, the Virginia slave dream in the year 1852 that near the spots on which he plucked his test would arise such beautiful cities as Pierre, Bismarck, Great Falls, Billings, Holocaum, Lewiston, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland; that the streams he forded would be spanned by gribbes of steel; that the mountains he circumnavigated would be tunnelled; that the buffalo trails he followed would be public highways; that the distance it took him many weary months to cover would be a simple matter of a few hours on splendidly equipped trains, nor could he have foreseen the time when the people of his race would follow, as freemen, his path; when they would see the same streams; the same paths across the plains; the same mountains, and build their homes in the same fertile valleys in which he camped more than 100 acres but out the whirligig of time has brought to them today there are scattered borehouses that broad and glorious Northwestern country, singly and in small groups, a considerable number of prosperous Afro-Americans who owe splendid farms and who with their families are living amid surroundings which are both congenial and elevating. 25th inst. * **Mrs. Levitha Young Crawford was buried Tuesday.

The teeth of the new saw are arranged in alternate groups—four pointing forward and then four pointing back. For cutting metal the new saws are almost twice as efficient as saws of the usual pattern. They last six times as long. The saw is cut either wood or metal and are made in a great variety of shapes and styles.

MANN Representative from Second Congressional District of Illinois Has Always Been Interested and Active in Matters Affecting His Afro-American Constituency. RE-ELECTION IMPORTANT. With the Return of the Republican Party to Power Minority Leader Would Be Speaker of the House, and Lucky Indeed Are the Friends of the Speaker. Special to The Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., Oct. 30. The eyes of the business men, like those of the politicians throughout the country, are being focused upon the Second Congressional District of Illinois, represented in Congress by Hon. James R. Mann of Chicago, whose intelligent leadership, as the minority leader, has since the beginning of 624 session of Congress in 1911, assures his elevation to the leadership of the House of Representatives when the Republican party again comes into its own, providing, of course, the voters in his district continue to exercise the good judgment they have shown since November, 1896. Next to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is the most influential person in American politics, and hedy indeed is the follow after whose name on the district poll list appears the betters, the most popular word "active." The magic word, "He is the Speaker's friend," uncle many doors in the temple of politics that would be difficult to open with crowwalls. Cordial and Absolutely Fair. Fortress and Abbeybrook Fair. Fortress and Abbeybrook Fair. Congressman Mann has always been friendly and active in matters affecting his welfare, while in the treatment of this element of his constituency he has not only been absolutely fair but extremely patient. Representing as he does a district containing 280,000 people or more, it is not reasonable to believe that he could be to a few premium two-thirds of whose activity is almost wholly confined to less than 10,000 people. And while true that Mr. Mann has not cultivated the habit of throwing his arms around your neck every time you enter his office, it is a fact that he treats one with the usual courtesy extended by busy men, a greeting that is neither cold nor indifferent, when judged by a man who is not always looking for the "glad brother" and the "long-lost brother" stunt.

During his first term in Congress he formed one of the small group whose influence brought about the appointment of Dr. Allain as the president of surgeon-chief of Freedmen's Hospital. Then followed the appointment of that dress REPUB. AN 2) worker and orator, ex-senator T. T. Allain, to a position in the House Document Room. The ex-senator also had two sons and a daughter here on the pay roll; one son in the Army, one in the nursing office, the other in the Census Bureau and the daughter in the Freedman's Hospital, about this time the Hon. Thomas W. Allen of Chicago thought that he should like to live in Washington. Mr. Mann had him appointed to a clerer position in the Census Bureau and on several different occasions had Mr. Allain's name restored to the pay roller it had been dropped by the bureau who had decided to work along without the efficient services of Mr. Allen. Endorsed Cyrus Field Adams. The appointment of Mr. Cyrus Field Adams to the position of Assistant Register of the Treasury was not without the endorsement of Congressman Mann. In fact, he has endorsed and known of several well-known Chicago Afro-American were in turn slaughtered by other well-known Chicago Afro-Americans, many of whom are past masters in the art of filing charges, as the official records here will testify. At the present time Congressman Mann has a very capable Chicago Afro-American (Mr. Edwin Smith) employed in the House of Representatives. Further comment on his attitude towards his unnecessary, and his public record, has been scrutiny of the world, is absolutely above criticism—at least by Afro-Americans who claim allegiance to the Republican party.

ALABAMA PEOPLE FORM CLUB WITH MEMBERSHIPOF50 Recently-Organized Society in Los Angeles Hold Picnic and Plan to Build Modern Club House for Themselves. ALABAMANS MAKE MARK Thrifty Men and Women in Club—Fact That Majority of Them Own Their Own Homes Is Not Considered Unusual. By Eloise Bibb Thompson. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 30—The Alabama State Club of Afro-American Men and Women, having a membership of fifty, held its first annual picnic recently at Little Rock. Organized about twelve months go, this club has in it some of the most prosperous and energetic people in the city, who are planning in the near future to erect for themselves a creditable club house. The fact that the majority of those members own their own homes and are engaged in prosperous work is not unusual, for Afro-American Alabama, the most part, are noted for their thrift and industry. The name Alabama, meaning a "thicket cleared of trees," was taken from an Indian tribe which lived in that region before it was explored by De Soto. The gross area of this state consists of more than 52,000 square miles and has large wealth in its mineral resources, including coal, iron, marble, granite, natural gas, gold, silver and copper, the two former minerals, coal and iron, being the most valuable of the Alabama ranking fifth among coal-producing states, with an annual output of nearly 10,000,000 short tons. 938.000 Afro-Americans in State The cotton holt of the state is situated in its central portion. Cotton and corn are the most valuable productions of this region, the cotton crop amounting to over 1,000,000 bales each year. There are sixty-six counties in the state of Alabama, containing about 2,150,000 inhabitants, 938,000 of whom are Afro-Americans. As agriculture is the chief industry of this state, the progress that the Afro-American has made in Alabama is reckoned by the success that he has achieved in farming. When the Afro-American slave was given his freedom there were in all the United States a few million men of the race. At the present time the Afro-American farmers of Alabama own 1,500,000 acres of land, valued at something more than $17,000,000. The state of Alabama, realizing the great fundamental need of increased production with a view toward improving rural life in all its phases, holds several agricultural fairs annually, in which all the people are interested. During these periods of exhibition daily demonstrations along agricultural lines are held. At the Alabama Industrial Exposition, held in April, the fairs last days ago, $1,000 in premiums were devoted to the Afro-American department, under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington. The Alabama State Fair and Exhibit Association, held at Montgomery a short time ago, set aside a portion of the proceeds secured from "Afro-American day" to be used as the beginning of a permanent fund out of which to erect an Afro-Americandrading, wherein may be displayed the extraordinary exhibits that are brought in annually by race farmers. Former Slave Sets Example. In An Example of Intensive Farming in the Cotton Belt—a bulletin recently issued by the United States Department of Agriculture—is a record of the accomplishment of Samuel McCormick, a former slave, over seventy-five years in one year on two acres of land seven bales of cotton and is now striving to produce nine bales on the same land. In addition to this remarkable demonstration he has undertaken to show what can be done by rotating a crop and preparing a great example for small farmers. Isaac D. Martin, another Afro-American farmer of Alabama, has recently won a prize amounting to $150 for raising 200 bushels of corn on one acre of land. The largest number of Afro-American workmen in any one division in the country are found in the Birmingham area. There are more than fifty schools in this state devoted to the collectate normal and industrial training of its Afro-American population, the largest of which is the Tuskegee Institute, founded by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and Talladega College, established by the Congregationalists and said to be the first in the United States to introduce industrial training for the children of the freedmen. In addition to these there are hundreds of public schools, having an enrollment of about 11000 Afro-American children. Bank Encourages Thrift. One of the strongest Afro-American banks of the country, which does business in a livestock reinforced construction, has its resources amounting to something like $490,000. This bank was founded in 1858 by W. R. Pettiford, latter deceased, who observed that the large number of Afro-American miners and millers in the vicinity of Birmingham could be induced, if encouraged, to practice thrift and habits of economy. He decided that the establishing of a bank would be the result of a successful result. From its incipency the Alabama Penny Savings Bank has been a success. It now has branches located in three other towns of the state. There are four other Afro-American banks in Alabama that are said to be doing a thriving business. There are six towns and settlements in this state populated and governed entirely by Afro-American people, the total number of whose inhabitants is more than one million. There are unusual advantages for learning the best methods of farming, up-to-date churches, intelligent, progressive ministers and many good public schools with an annual school covering a period of seven and eight months.

Have Moved from Southern States, M HOST OF ISRAEL TABERNACLE IN ROW Pole Called to Bethel Hall to Quel Rumpus to the Uncle Unel desirable, Member The Host of Israel Tahnadeen, No. 54, met at Bethel Hall Monday night, but instead of the peace and quiet that should characterize a meeting in a church building, the members got into a row that necessitated the calling of the police. The trouble arose when Mrs. Wisener and other members tried to have the presiding officer, Mrs. Middell Bail Williams of Campbell avenue removed from office. They declared her an undisirable, but she was defended by Neptune Walton. This difference in opinion led to a wordy war that disturbed a religious meeting in another part of the church. Rev. Smythe, the clerk, closed his meeting and went to the lodge room and drove the disturbers out. A reporter for The Chicago Defender learned that the row caused great excitement. Winds heeds tried to restore peace, but their efforts were of no avail. When the patrol wagon arrived the place was in an uproar, but no arrests were made. Mrs. Williams replying to accusations as to her unfitness, said "it is not what I have done, but what I am doing now." Her accusers came back with the declaration that under Article 1, Section 3 of the laws on membership, they are right in their contention. It was also learned that no direct charges have been filed against Mrs. Williams, although Mrs. Wilson holds some documentary evidence. Y. M. C. A.

She Had Not Passed on Life's High way the Stone that Marks the High way. But Being Weary for a Moment She Laid Down By the Wayside to Rest. By W. H. Jefferson. New York, Oct. 30—When the news became public and authentic that Alda Overton-Walker, premier artist of the colored race, and one of the leading celebrities of the theatrical profession was dead, it created great consternation among her friends and acquaintances, likewise the profession. The race was stunned with surprise. Although Mrs. Walker was bit but a very short time, and the fact that her illness was almost unknown to her many friends, it was enough to cause surprise among them when the report of her death was made known. She had not passed on life's highway the stone that marks the highest point of her life, but being weary for a moment she had drowned wayside to rest, and using her burden for a pillow, fell into that long and dreamless sleep that kisses down her eyelids still. While yet in love with life and raptured with the world, she passed into eternal silence. Yet, after all, it may be best. Who knows? Who can tell? We do not know which is the greater blessing, life or death, nor can we say death is not good, for the Lord giveth and the Lord tketh away. His mercy endureth forever, but His mercy endureth not whether the grave is the end of life's journey or the door of another, or whether night here is somewhere else a dawn, but we do know that Alda Overton-Walker has crossed the great divide and taken up her abode in that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler was ever known to return. She met death calmly and peacefully. Although she died at a time when she race needed her most, she never did. She was present in her labor. The theatrical profession was forced to recognize and respect her as one of the greatest performers upon the stage, her ability as an artist being absolutely unquestioned. Aida Overton-tWalker was beloved by all who knew her. She possessed a wonderful and indescribable magnetism, the rare gift of nature that makes one extremely proud, and when she came in conjoined with many she won the joy her womanly mannering. Walker was a great worker for charity, the receipts of many of her performances being donated to those worthy institutions. While she has gone to join the multitude in the Great Beyond, her name is stamped upon our memories and her image upon our hearts. Mrs. Walker plainly demonstrated during her stage career that purity and respectability can be safely harbored in the theatrical profession. Is there another Aida Overton-Walker among us? Is there anyone to take up where she is standing, but the her come forth to prove her right to be crowned a just representative and a worthy successor. Through many dangers, toils and snares. She had already come; Twas grace that brought her safe thus far, and grace that lead her home. If everyone for whom she has done some loving act of kindness would place a rose upon her grave, she would sleep today beneath a wilderness of flowers. Had Felt Squeeze in Pain Squeeze in Prices.

Champaign, Ill., Oct. 30.-Protectionists by thousands, preferring principles to men or party names, voted two years ago for Theodore Roosevelt and for Progressive candidates for congress because of their belief that William Howard Taft and Republican candidates for congress could not be elected, says the Candidate. The last was, for their country's sake, to treat the men who stood for measures such as in the past had closed mills and mines, left labor unemployed, and made the land unprosperous. They cast their ballots where, in their belief, they would most probably effect some good. They voted against free trade and for the candidates who seemed to them to have the better chance. Now these protectionists see that the Progressive party's victory over the free trade democracy is hopeless—absolutely. They see that the Progressive party stronger. They receive that the Progressive party is disappearing. Election returns and reports of registrations all the way from Maline to California prove it. Thus in 1914, more consistently than they voted the Bull Moose ticket in 1912, protectionists preferring principles to any party name, and thinking more of measures than of men, will cast their anti-free trade votes for the Republican ticket. More consistently and justifiably, because their action two years ago was founded only on an impression; whereas thought the Republican party disorganized, as it was then, could not save the country from free trade and free trade's consequences. They know that the Progressive party, melting away as the primary vote and other election returns all prove, can accomplish nothing—nothing, that is to say, excepting what they least desire, what they most dread and depreciate—another victory for the free trade plurality. Thus the forces of protection resemble with a unanimity that indicates another McKinley landslide. A. M. E. Church The morning subject by the pastor, Rev. H. W. Jamison, was "Thought Forces," emphasis being laid upon the value of a sound mind and the ability to think successively.

There are two white newspapers published in Cairo and they keep busy publishing the bad deeds of the Afro-American people of this city, but never publish one good deed of our people, by which the public think we are all one class of murderers and thieves, and we are looked upon as such by the outside white people, and if you THE CHICAGO DEFENDER For the first time in my life I have been forced against my will to seek the columns of a newspaper to defend myself against the wicked and vicious attacks of an irresponsible publisher of a poorly edited newspaper, or rather a dirty sheet. This I would not do weit it not for the fact that these attacks have been so unjust and so oft repeated. Hardly a week has passed by during the last eight months that this half-educated savage has not made some malicious assault upon me. So out of self-respect I am forced to reply. This I have long hesitated to do for it occurred to me that it should be necessary for one who has lived in this community for one hour, during all of which time bearing in mind the intention, to defend himself from one of low mentality, of unsavory reputation, with criminal tendencies and without standing in the community save among the lower element. Beginning with last longer he misrepresented and lied about me in the most outrageous manner. During the spring campaign he printed speeches which I was supposed to have made which never fell from my lips, saying, among other things, that he was not ripe for a Colored alderman, and that those who favored one should be driven into Lake Michigan. A bigger lie was never known, and he might be too much unaware of how me ought to know it. The truth is he who made that statement. During the month of January he said in two issues of his sheet that a Colored man could not be nominated for alderman, and if one was nominated he could not be elected. If he can disprove this by producing the files of his paper of that date I will give $100 to any charity that he will name. So you see that he and not I was the author of the remark "It is not time for a Colored alderman." But when the legislative hegan began in his car, knowing the force and effect of such a statement, he sought to discredit me in the eyes of my people by putting his own words in my book—a most illusorious act. He charged me with a greater falsehood was never told. Some of the dearest friends that I ever had in Chicago were black men. I mention the names of but two of them: Daniel Taylor and Jerry Williams—men whom I loved as I would a brother. I do not look upon my color as an asset. Indeed during the recent primary I found it a liability, for wicked and narrow-minded men like T. Turner and Wright raised the color lie upon me to my detriment. The Negroes should be the last people to draw the color line. Race prejudice is as cruel to me as is it to those of darker hue. There is no door of opportunity that the people have to overcome. Speaking of the results of the primary, he says it showed that he was the people's choice. It's not true. His nomination was a stolen one. The public press for two days after the primary announced that the completed returns showed me sure winner by 73½ votes, despite his abuse, vilification and the expenditure of an enormous corruption fund in his behalf. Three days after the primary four precincts turned up missing. That's an old trick. I do not know who was responsible for it, but one thing I do know is that Turner was the person by whom Learning from published accounts just how many votes I was in the lead, something was done by somebody that wiped out my majority of 73½; and gave him a majority of 29. Being satisfied that gross fraud had been committed in his behalf, I filed a contest, as I had a right to do. I was confident that I could find enough fraud in Turner's own precinct, long famous for fraudulent practices. I made my contest upon this precinct alone. And what did I find? Turner was the person by whom voting; twelve persons, each carrying three votes for Turner, voted, whose names were not on the registration books; eight people voted from numbers other than the address as shown on the registers, and there were no affidavits sworn to that would entitle will publish the facts as we send them to you, we will be glad to send them in for publication, and let the world know the other side of the facts regarding the white and Afro-American people. As citizens in the city of Cairo, IL. we have enough readers in Cairo to support a good news column each week—good church news, political news, and domestic news. In fact, many well-to-do race people—justice of the peace, doctors and grocerymen, carpenters, blacksmiths, and one dentist, that we will be proud to mention through the columns of your paper. Also we have a splendid, up-to-date drug store, all of which and others are brought. That is only way to kill the race prejudice. The truth is the key to the situation and our theme is to tell the truth through the Defender and all other news mediums. Long live the Defender and its loyal editor, including his staff office, to send the real facts of the race news throughout the whole length and breadth of the United States. Yours for success, Thomas A. Head, 2181 Commercial avenue, Cairo, IL. James Bond, 311 30th street, Cairo, IL. Major Jackson made good at Springfield. Send him back.

GOSSIP AND EVENTS IN FRATERNAL WORLD The Progressive Club of the S. M. T.'s tendered their many friends a banquet last Saturday night at the home of Mrs. Ella L. Holmes, 3115 Wabash avenue.

"The financial report was given by Mrs. James, the secretary. Musical for the dinner was rendered by the young Delaww family. B.

McBRIDE AND THE WHITE SOX In the future, our congenial friend, A. L. McBride, will have greater respect for the playing ability of the White Sox, especially if they are competing for the city championship against the Cubs, as his experience proved an expensive one this season. His friends, seemingly, had a bunch, and from the results of it, he had a sign attached to him which reads, "collect your bets at this window." "Mac," as he is familied called, had to set a three-hat, and he had one gallon of the kind he uses, two or three hats, and one necklace, and several other things. Mac is a good loser, however.

Trott, in speaking of his likes and dislikes the other evening at the Appomattox club, as regards newspapers, said he could stand for every paper in the city, even the Ileast papers, but he be damned if he could stand for a two-faced paper.

NEWS OF THE SICK. List of Your Friends Under a Physician's Care at Home or In the Hospitals. Mr. Harry A. Blunt, 3726 Federal street, is very ill and under the care of the family physician. Francis C. Anderson, son of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Anderson, pastor of Quinn Chapel church, has been ill in St. Luke's hospital for the past week. His condition was such that an operation was necessary Tuesday morning by Dr. Daniel H. Williams. Indications point to his ultimate recovery, which will necessarily be slow. Dr. Laurie Allen, who was operated on at Provident hospital, is reported to be doing well. Dr. Mitch Housefield is the attending physician. Mrs. Bessie Rayford, Bryant and Rhodes avenues, business manager of the Chicago Defender, is at her home ill. Her many friends wish for her a speed recovery. MAYORBELL TRIES TOPACIFY VOTERS BUT MISTAKEN Men of Race Slugged by Police Under His Administration, Mayor Winks His Eye—Says Now He Was Ignorant of It, Yet He Asks for Their Sufrage. WILL ANSWER AT POLLS. Was Informed of Disgraceful Tactics on Indiana Avenue, but Heeded Not ...Afro-Americans Will Show How Well They Like Bell on Election Day. --- (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 30—Under the Democratic administration of Mayor Bell Afro-Americans have fared poorly on Indiana avenue, especially at the hands of the police. While this has been going on a long time, now the mayor wants to hold the reins and comes before the race, telling them that he will treat the ill treatment under his administration. What fools he thinks the race is to stand for such bunk. Real Cause of Action. The thing which really caused the mayor's speech, in the opinion of political observers, was the filing before Frank C. Dailey, United States district attorney, yesterday of affidavits setting out facts concerning the slugging of Colored men who wished to register in the eighth precinct of the Third ward. A grand jury investigation of the slugging was demanded. This is known to have thrown a thorough "sear" into the ranks of the machine Democritus. Republicans on registration day named the machine one of the wards of the machine as one of the offenders; also Alexander Pope and Wayland Sanders, city patrolmen, who have been active in the slugging campaign who was conducted along Indiana avenue to intimidate Colored voters and force them to keep away from the polls at the coming election. Beer Great Attraction. A keg of beer or two and the active service of two Democratic policemen who have been assigned to the avenue district since the first of the week helped to draw the fifty Afro-Americans into the clubrooms where Mayor Bell was scheduled to speak. The beer was a great attraction for the usual hangerion of political meetings. But the most effective work was done by Harrisell and Shechan, policemen. With their clubs in sight they walked up Indiana avenue on the south side of the street, which is opposite the clubroom where Mayor Bell spoke, just a few minutes prior to the arrival of the mayor. The Afro-Americans fled to the north side of the city. This more took them within a few feet of the Democratic clubroom—and then Mayor Bell appeared. No attempt was made to drive the Negroes back to the south side of the street after the mayor appeared and it is pointed out that they were driven to the north side that Mayor Bell might make an impression. Mayor Addresses Crowd. Mayor Bell had the nerve to speak to the Afro-Americans after the police had beaten and intimidated the voters. He denounced the slugging tactics after they were allowed to go on. Mayor Bell's statement that he had only recently been informed of the slugging tactics of the police along Indiana avenue was a surprise. Chief Perrott and Mayor Bell have been "golfing" considerably of late and as they are thrown so much together by their mutual love of the game it is regarded as strange that Perrott has not had time to inform the mayor as to just what is going on in the police department. They have also been together at many other places—almost constant companions. Another fact also tends to prove, in the minds of observers, that Mayor Bell was mistaken, at least when he said he had not been informed of the police tactics along Indiana avenue, Mayor Bell is attempting to conduct a one-man campaign. Few orders are issued unless they have the approval of the mayor himself. It will be remembered that Mayor Bell in his inaugural speech declared that he himself would be personally responsible for the acts of the police department as well as other departmental units of the city government. Bell said the citizens could and should hold responsible. Now that election is on, each Afro-American is going to hold Mayor Bell accountable for his past acts. No wool can be pulled over the eyes of the race now. It is going to use its power, and that rightly, at the ballot box. Major Jackson must return to Springfield. NEWLYWEDS SPEND PART OF HONEYMOON IN "WINDY CITY." Chicagoues entertained a bride and groom the latter part of the week in the persons of Rev. Floyd Gnelson, D. D., and wife of Columbus, Ohio. The newlyweds were on the first stage of their honeymoon, having been married in their home city on Wednesday, October 21. Rev. Snelson is pastor of the Mt. Vernon A. M. E. Church and a member of the F. R. G. S., while his bride, formerly Miss Blanche Ward Byrd, is a sister of Earl Ward, the Columbus expressman, who was well known in this city, Rev. and Mrs. Snelson only remained a few days, going from this city to New York, Niagara Falls and other Eastern cities. They will be at home to their friends in about three weeks at their residence in Columbus, Ohio. MARGUERITE UPTON ELECTED CAPTAIN OF BASKET BALL TEAM Last week Miss Marguerite Upton, daughter of C. L. Upton, 3029 Vernon avenue, was elected captain of the basketball team of girls of the William H. Ray School, 57th and Kimbark avenue, by a unanimous vote. She was the only Afro-American girl to receive such honor in this school. ```markdown ``` Mr. Ernest H.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC "All Passes, Art Alone Endures" Tom Brown will be at the Grand theater tonight and Sunday night. Don't fail to see him. Next week Dodd and Gordon, Susie Sutton and Montgomery, and McLain. Hanging pots of flowers and plants are in the lobby of the Grand - beautiful site to passers by. The Grand is the prettiest family playhouse on the South Side. The Grand. There were several crackerjack jacks on this week at the Grand, but especial mention should be made of two—the Alfa Troupe of hoop rollers, and Tom Brown. Others on the bill were Quinn Bros. and Drake, a trio of singers and soft shoe dancers, who were above the average and made a favorite of the crowd. The two girls who styled themselves "Buffy Duffs," who pulled off some eccentric dancing and a few comedy lines, and made their getaway, Woodford presented an educated monkey that performed tricks with almost human intelligence and brought home the thought that we are not so far away from the monkey rife after all. But to return to the Alfa Troupe, to be more mildly; to every conceivable thing that could be done with a hoop these artists did, and apparently without any effort. The act was the last of its kind ever seen at this playhouse, Tom Brown what pleasant memories that name brings back? An artist with a worldwide reputation, presenting something just a little different from his single handed, "This time he uses his single handed, what he is pleased to form, 'Postman Character Chances.' In rapid succession he portrays the Italian, Chinese and other nationalities, cars from comedy to tragedy, from tears to smiles, with the case that only a finished actor can claim to. The generous applause showed how highly this artist was a strange character. Cleiosseus always have a warm spot in their hearts for Tom Brown. Piano Recital Postponed. The piano recital by Miss Frances Calloway, post graduate of the Chicago musical college, which was billed for last Tuesday evening at Quinn Chapel church, had to be postponed until a later date, owing to the fact that Miss Calloway was ill. As might be supposed, the many friends and wishers of this noted artist were worried that the agreement assumed them that they would be given the opportunity to hear her and the other artists on the program at an early date, which will be announced in these comms. DETROIT THEATERS Detroit, Mich., Oct. 20—Giant and Perkins, a sister act, opened the bill. Capable in comedy song and dance, and good to look in them, they receive a bill share of the applause. Susie Stu- nion, our dainty character comedienne, on her Italian imperisonation, is wow- derer. Her act is one of merit, ability and originality, such as is soldon seam among our people Tall Jim Crosso- ly and Tom Neely in twelve minutes of Tomfowney are two funny men with a funky songs and dances lively and criticism. New Arcade. Mule Bradford and Janet are here as a return engagement, drawing big houses, as usual. Sam Lybe, an illustrator of popular songs, sings with his old-time form and is worthy of mention. At last, Old Rags is leaving us. Monogram next week. Green and Punch, tell me something what's doing. Ella Morton, tell us something, what's doing? Fat Vincent, our stage manager, weighs 336 pounds. Chim, our actor, weighs 100. Dudley says they can't be heat. The Defender can be bounced at Vandblee theater.

At the popular Elite Cafe we find our stroller's ending of pleasure is a rather enormous piece of beef for the mental jokes to digest, if we understand that Miss Sallie Lee Johnstone has returned to the Cabarrabs. She is a beautiful, charming dermament with those sweet smiles that we missed so much. No prissig women and no maidin man visit this resort—only the more classy people, and the best of decorum is maintained. Madame Marie Burton-Hyrans, Chicago's favorite young prima donna, will sing one of the leading roles of the musical called Abijah. She just closed three weeks at the Grand Theater. Madame M. Craig Halsey, the race's greatest emotional actress and educator, demonstrated at a Swedish church Tuesday night that her dramatic effectiveness was delightful to any audience. Her work in the emotional moments was commendable for its sincerity and impressiveness as well as for its restraint. If her inclinations did not be for the stage her appearance must have eventually triumphed over them and brought her there. She is original. Of course there is nothing equal to originality. The role she played was a difficult one and she played it realistically and convincingly, without hysteries or stunness. Her work won warm appreciation from the audience but hius that instinctive ability and uses her eyes as mediums of expressing. Prince Unrefreno Kabarego received a beautiful letter of praise from Rev. E. H. Stewart of Evanson, with a return letter. His pictures were instructive at the Swedish Church. He gets another return date. Very interesting. Just received a telegram from Madame Rosa Lee Tycler that she will sing "Charme Be Amour" in the honeymoon at the New Monogram, thirty-fifth and State streets. Thursday afternoon, November 12, sure; and Madame Marie Burton-Hybrams, Chicago's favorite will surely appear. Madame Lucretia Knox-Michell, the dream prima donna, although working in one of the best houses in town, will render one song and take a taxi and return to finish her number on the bill. That is very kind. Madame Eva C. C. La Rhue, who is a silver-toned prima donna, having toured Europe and been away eighteen years, will appear at afternoon. One would think the Metropolitan Opera Company was at that little theater to hear fifty other stars. Miss Rettiola Fortson, Chicago's greatest elocutionist, I may say because she is original, as she writes some of her own original poems to recite (nothing equal to originality) at the benefit. She will recite an original. Mr. A. J. Halsey, the manager of the great Ethiopic classic play called Abajah, has engaged her as one to dance the dance of death called the Nilhius snake dance. Miss Lottie Merry, a perfect dream, will be the Princess of Zeck. She is extraordinary talented and will make good. I have not picked a loser as yet. They entertain at El Centro Cafe and doing fine. Mr. Charles Young, the great baritone of the Russell Cafe, will sing the beautiful ballad written by Miss Hirritta, one of Chicago's popular hostesses, entitled "The Bleeding Heart," at the benefit Thursday, November 12. At the Old Monogram we have one of those petite very pretty chic soubreties in Miss Toy Brown in a single act. Then comes Mr. Charles Anderson, a good descriptive singer and character artist. Mr. Anderson is from the old school and should be on big time for his class of work, but we strollers like good acts also. Rudy and Freddy Walker, two extraordinary clever eccentric dancers, who dress properly the girl is very beautiful, the girl skin girl, a superb form would do for some but she can dance some. The Stirling Beans and Madame Ella Goodlee, the knockouts, close the bill. They were retained another week by Mr. Killen. I noticed he used good judgment as they standing outside as usual when the Beans are on the bill. The world's greatest character actor, Tom Brown, is at the Grand. At the New Monogram we have Godfrey and Patterson, formerly Larkins and Patterson of big time houses. Act on the bill. Good chance to get someone's coat. See them. Morton and Wilson, class performers in song and dance; very clever. Oh, Trike Smith, the comie lion, the hit, that child so cute and amusing very pleasing play her often. Mr. Manager. You can play any playhouse in the city will do a turn in the monster benefit for Columbus Bragg at Thirty-fifth and State streets Thursday, November 12, at 2 p. m. Fifty stars; twenty-five pieces in the orchestra. All the Strolls theaters and cabrays will combine. Absolutely the greatest program ever given for a benefit. Reserved seats, 50 cents; general admission, 25 cents. I thank you in advance. Major Jackson must return to Springfield. JOLLY TWENTY CLUB TO DANCE NO. 2, AT PHOENIX HALL. The Jolly Twenty Club will give its second annual dancing party at Phoenix Hall, Sodgwick and Division 2. Monday evening, November 2. They are among Chicago's most popular young women. It will be a grand affair and the Peelies Orchestra will furnish music. Cards of admission 25 cents. Estella Bush, president; Frances Campbell, vice president; Etta Anterhorte, secretary; Mamie Harris, assistant secretary; Etta Brown, corresponding secretary; Winette Harrison, treasurer; Bertha Lowry, sergeant at arms; Beatrice Bell, Bessie Carter, Lennora Curtis, Fergus Guy, Lydia Landers, Jessie Richardson and Lucille Roberts.

SABINA'S TALENTED DRAMATIC READER Visits Chicago and Surprises the Natives by Her Wonderful Ability—"The One Who Knows." Miss Ruby C. Pettiford, who is the guest of Mrs. Montgomery, 3112 State street, hails from Sabina, Ohio, and somehow has made Chicago's reading public sit up and take notice, as we were inclined to believe that, after our own Richard B. Harrison, there were no other readers. Miss Pettiford has gone to Grace Presbyterian Sunday School, and Oliver Literary, and she has there are others on the "reading" map. Miss Pettiford is without a doubt in a class by herself, and we can truthfully say there is not another young woman her age in the race that can equal her in this line. The Defender recommends her to the Chicago public as "one who knows." Major Jackson must return to Springfield. MORGAN PARK. Morgan Park, Ill., Oct. 30—Rev.

The new garadines are light in weight and are in a measure usurping the place of fine serges. Cut velours and wool poplins are evidenced in many of the new street models. Kid glove cloth, with its dull suce finish, promises to be another of this season's favorites. This season's fur cloths are thinner than wool, much smaller than those of former years. Whole silks of broad tail or caracul cloth are while in other instances the fur cloth is most effectively combined with fine broad-cloth. A very smart coat model is fashioned from notted tint and brown moire zibeline. This special fabric has all the suppleness of broadcloth and the high sheen of satin. Caracul Plush is used for both coats and cloaks, and is shown in all the modish colors. For afternoon suits and one-piece frocks 'silk and wool velour.'

A square neck is outlined with an embroidery of crystal beads, and finished with a fold of tulle fastened on the inside. The short sleeve was also of tulle of same shade of yellow. The skirt was slightly pulled on the upper edge and attached to the lower part of the corsage.

With the crystal beads this gown can be worn or without a train. If a train is preferred it is also have it pointed.

The attractiveness of midnight blue tulle embroidered in rhinestones. Speaking of tulle it seems to be a favorite this season with the leading designers for all drapery and fancy tunics. Charming is an evening frock of black velvet, with an overdress of gold chiffon, the bodice and the new cape effect of gold brocade. A gorgeous splash of color appears M. B.

(Representative, Republican) 435 East Thirty-seventh street, Chicago, was born in Malta, III.,秋1, 1870, and received his early education in the public and high schools of Chicago. He obtained his early business training by working as a newspaper merchant. He sold papers at Harrison and State streets nearly forty years ago, and by this he was able to care for his grandmother for a number of years and at the same time attend school. He also worked as an elevator conductor. Jackson only used his elevator position, however, as a means to an end, because while in this position he met many of the leading men of the city. He took civil service examination, made good marks and was appointed to a clerkship, in the Chicago postoffice, where he made a good record, serving twenty-one years. For twelve years Major Jackson served as assistant superintendent of Armour station, the highest position held by any member of his race in the Chicago postoffice system. He is a charter member of the Eighth regiment, national guard, and is at the head of one of the largest printing establishments in Chicago. For a young man he has a splendid record as a soldier. During the Spanish-American war when the Eighth Illinois regiment was ordered to the field Major R. R. Jackson was ready for duty. He made many friends in Cuba and showed while there his military ability. Major Jackson was elected a member of the Illinois legislature, and was seated just a short time before the legislature adjourned sine die. He made good use of his opportunity. Immediately upon being seated in the house of representatives Speaker McKinley recognized his worth by appointing him on the following committees: Chicago charter, fraternal and mutual insurance, federal relations, military affairs, miscellaneous subjects and municipal courts of Chicago. The fifthieth anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves claimed his attention, and he supported a bill appropriating $25,000 for that purpose, which went through without opposition, receiving a unanimous vote.

The small shape is still greatly in the majority, closely fitting touches and the latter on the round and cassock order, are very popular. The hat used for evening can not be too elaborate this season Black velvet, loaded net, tinsel and spangled net are all used for crowns, and in many instances cover the entire frame of the small shape. Thin flues of ostrich are shown in tips and bandings. Sunbursts of ostrich flues are among the novelties of the season. Cockades, quills, rosettes, etc., are an appropriate trimming for the utility hat. Some of the smart velvet hats are trimmed with wreaths of granges, roses and foliage of chille are also seen. Elongated sailors and sailors with pointed brims are seen and are very good looking with tailored suits, and most any one can wear them faultlessly. A charming elephant car turban of black velvet is most effectively trimmed with medals or emblems. *Styles for the Young Folk* It is a pleasure for every child to have something like Mother's, therefore the black velvet cape is going to be worn much by little folks. A real serviceable freck is that all in one piece with applied hoop plaits arranged over it from each shoulder. The tunic is utilized in a charming knit-like manner, with the long waist effect, girdle and sash.

The long tunic and belted is designed for the young girls and is exceedingly youthful and beaming. younger and becoming. A very pretty dancing frock for the Misses is made of thin, soft taffeta with a tunic and frills around neck and sleeve of accordion plated crepe de chine. The costume above mentioned could be made up very prettily of net over the taffeta. White with a colored sash is always charming.

THE EDITOR'S MAIL Chicago, Oct. 27, 1914. Editor the Defender. Dear Sir: I want to congratulate you on your masterful letter to the editor of the Northwestern—clear, pointed, truthful, but withal temperate. There are few individuals, no matter how vengeful, but what deep down in their conscience there is a spot that can be reached by temperate reasoning rather than by anger and vaporation. Such abuse is not always caused by hatred, as much as a desire to be humorous; and when a man is taught that humor is inborn not acquired, and that there is only one true humorist in every one hundred thousand, he is apt to conclude that low wit is not humor, especially when aimed at the defenseless. Yours sincerely, ROB TEATOWLES. 4400 Greenwood avenue. If you want to read all the club news, read The Defender. A GENUINE POMADE Hay's Hair Pomade is not a vase- line, but a real Pomade.

BLUEITT BEATS W. P. HIGH Drpk Kick From the Twenty-five Yard Line Gives Lake Victory—Play for Championship. By Frank A. Young. Well, the Lincoln have come back into their own. They journeyed to Steger, ill, Sunday and brought back the Catholic's scalp, getting even for that 21 to 0 defeat that Steger handed them last year. It was a fine day for football and the Lincoln were on the edge, despite the fact that Freddie Smith was in St. Anthony's hospital with his leg curature two phases, and Portlock, last week, was standing on the side lines. Dude also gave me a bench, as Wilder was at one end and speedy Primus at the other. The treatment the boys received was the best, and although the Stegers were beaten they were cordial and ready to do anything that was in their power to make us comfortable. Many former school stars were in the line-up. The speedy little quarter that wiggled last year failed to have as much success, for time and again, on trick plays, he would shade one of defense, only to be pinned to the ground for face tacks by Langston. Once Chuck Wilson miled him, and the water boy was called to bring him to. In the first quarter, after the kick off, Steger started their march down the field, and by straight football coupled with two forward passes, a penalty of five yards to the Lincoln's put the ball on the one-yard line. Here Riddle broke through and threw the runner for a five-yard loss. Pearman blocked an attempt at him and then Primus ducked in and spoiled a forward pass. It was Lincoln's ball on their own eight-yard line. On a fake formation Wilson went fifteen yards before he was pinned to the ground. Langston, Reeves and Primus pulled off a triple forward pass and the ball was carried to the center of the field. He was downed. They punted. The first player pulled a surprise. Langston punched and Steger fumbled. Riddle falling on the ball. Wilson skirted the end for five yards. The quarter ended with the ball in Lincoln's possession on their opponent's fifteen yard line. Steger Scores in Third Quarter. The second quarter saw no scoring, but in the third quarter, with fresh then in their line-up came the reteppered a forward pass, carrying the ball to the five-yard line. Riddle and Pearman bringing their man down after a sprint. Three tries and the ball went over for a touchdown. They failed to kick goal, the wind being strong. Lincoln uncovered some Minnesota shifts, but lost the ball on delayed passes. The sun was going down and the fourth quarter was on. Wilson was calling for speed, and the boys were, fighting hard. Overton and Pearman opened a hole and Chuck ploughed through for ten yards. A trick play, Owens to Primus, brought twelve more. Steger's followers were to hold. But Langston got away for a touchend, assisted by Riddle's interference, and placed the ball on the one yard line. Wilson went over. Lincoln failed to kick goal. Crowd Grows Excited. With the score tied, Steger obtained the hall in center of the field, and shoved it to the one-yard line by some clever runs, only to lose it again. Here Lincoln started a march to victory as the timers began to look at their watches. Langston forward passed from behind his own goal post. The ball sailed into Riddles hands and he wiggled and ducked and sterned and ducked twenty yards before they nalled him. Another forward to Primus and he was on the forty-yard line of the opponent's before he was brought down. Wilson ploughed through left guard carrying the whole Steger team on top of him. Then on a fake line plumage in the same place, Langston took the ball around right end for another gain. Consultation with the timers. Three minutes to the Steger hold on the first down. They held on for another moment among the spectators was intense. Langston skirted Riddle's end and was tackled by two of the Stegers, but the impact sent him just barely over the line almost to the outside. They failed at goal. The teams lined up. As Riddle booted the ball high in the air the first whistle blew. Blueitt Again the Star. Bluett again won the crown of individual star of the day when, after both tennis had repeatedly got within scoring distance and failed, he booted the oval from the twenty-five yard line for the only score of the game and sent the north siders back home victors, Saturday, from the American Giants' Park, over Wendell Phillips High School. This puts Laue, by this lad's wonderful work, in the top round for the championship, and they play the strongest team that Englewood has had in years at Marshall Field. Phillips has the sanction of all fellowship. Bluett writers on daily papers as being the best half back in the local school, and is looked to be picked as half on the All-Coast County team. Brown was hurt in Saturday's game. The Lincoln team was given a lecture by Dr. Johnson, former Borthmouth star, at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday night. : There are three institutions which will contest for the premier honors this Fall—Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Lincoln University, Lincoln, Pa., and Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. The minor honors will be competed for by Virginia Union at Richmond, Va.; College of Petersburg, Va.; Shaw University at Raleigh, N. C., and Livingston University at Salisbury, N. C. The first big game will be played at Lincoln University between Howard and Lincoln on Saturday, Nov. 7. The following Saturday Lincoln Journeys to Hampton and plays Hampton Institute. Nov. 26 and 28 Lincoln Journeys to Richmond, Va., playing Virginia Union Thanksgiving Day, the 26th, and Petersburg on the 28th. The banner game of the season, which had been played for many years between Lincoln and Howard on Thanksgiving Day, will be played this year between Hampton Institute, which defeated both Howard and Lincoln that year, and Howard and University at Washington, D. C. Thanksgiving Day. At Howard. Howard looks forward to a very successful year, and has high hopes of defending Hampton and Lincoln, which will give them the championship. Some of the men have already reported to Coach Marshall, who will be taking part in the tackle of Howard's last year team, is putting them through the preliminary training. Dowdell, the star guard of last year's team, will be missing from the line this year, and his place will be very hard to fill. It has been reported that Slaughter, the star end, and Bryce, the star quarterback, will have received the latter is reported have received a scholarship to Illinois University. Lancolin has bright prospects for what is hoped to be its first championship team since 1908. Captain Wheaton, who is by far the greatest colored halfback in the country, will be on the job by the 25th, with but one thought in his mind, and that is to win the championship. Coach Pollard has an abundance of material, having lost only three men by graduation. However, with the class of football players in the team, Howard game last year, it is reasonable to believe that these vacancies will be easily filled. At Hampton. The Hampton team is intact with the exception of two graduates. It was reported that Bender, the crack Indian quarterback, would enter Dartmouth College. From the calibre of football that they displayed last year, the edge on Howard and Lincoln. However, they will bear watching. ONE TURCO TROOPER (Continued From Page 1.) Paris, sound asleep. They say a turtle has no nerves of suffering. Ooh! Lal! was a human turtle. The doctors had to awaken him from a deep sleep to dress his wounds. They found his left arm shattered by a bullet, among others. He was grounded during the probing. Half an hour after the doctors were through he was sound asleep again. His Fever was 105 "The next day his fever was 165. But all day long he smoked and smiled and demanded bread. The daffies didn't appeal to him. A big loaf of bread that he could break into bitable chunks was his ideal meal. He was a favorite of the nurses at once, until the truth came out about him. This was that during the battle he had killed eighteen Germans by bullet or hayonet. Every one of Ooh! Lai's friends had kept scores, and they all agreed that Ooh! Lai: with his eighteen Germans led them to the nurses' little first. I think. Most of them are American girls who have ideas about killing that Ooh! Lai: wouldn't understand. Still, they also have the characteristic American worship for efficiency, so Ooh! Lai: 's stock is above per again. Ooh! Lai: 'isn't his real name, either. What his real name is doesn't matter. But he had to be called something, and when the following incident occurred he got the Ooh! Lai: name. "Those Germans are very obliging; said Ooh! La! to his doctor one day. "How do you mean?" asked the doctor. "Why, when I started at one with my bayonet he got down on his knees and raised his hands upward toward me so that they were out of the way of my bayonet. Most men put their hands across their stomachs when they see my bayonet coming." "And what did you do?" asked the doctor. "Ooh La! said the black patient, making the motion of a man pitching hay with a fork. "The doctors say Ooh La! the smiling superkiller, will he out of the hospital and back on the job within a few weeks." TWIN CITY NEWS By P. F. Hale.

There is no harm in anyone having a wholesome fear of disease. As a matter of fact, fear very often plays an important part in protecting and conserving community health. But people are very much afraid of some of them, and almost indifferent about others, not every community has a great deal of sickness that might be avoided. For example, everybody dreads smallpox, and because of their fear of this disease, people will submit to vaccination in order to avoid having it. Let us say then, that fear of the intelligent, wholesome kind, if you please, has been a most important factor in helping health authorities to bring smallpox under a large measure of control. So extensive in fact, the smallpox epidemies are now few and the fact that Chicago has a spite of the fact that Chicago has a large unvaccinated population, there was but one death from smallpox; but it had during that year 225 deaths from measles. The trouble is that parents are not afraid of measles in spite of the fact that it killed nearly 300 children in a single year. Much the same attitude is taken as to most of the communicable diseases; that is, that while they are not desirable to have, they are the most lot of children to have them, and therefore there is not much use in being careful to avoid them. Also, for 1912, there were 101 deaths caused by whooping cough, another disease that is lightly regarded by many people, whose position is that they rather want their children to have such diseases as measles, mumps and whooping cough as soon as possible and thus be over them. This is a grievous mistake to them. This is a grievous mistake fact that for the first eight months of this year, whooping cough had 202 deaths to its first eight. But this somewhat startling death record, due to diseases that are particularly regarded as "not at all dangerous" by most people, is by no means the whole story. For, while the whole story is true, due to measures that were 15,123 cases in 14,511 of which recovered, but It is well known that measles often leaves effects that work serious and permanent harm. Here is what the Department headlet has to say about measles: "It kills by causing inflammation of the air passages and lungs. It mains causes diseases of the eyes and ears." This is also causing death by an extension to the membrane covering the brain. "It is a crime for parents to purposely expose a child to measles. Keep the child from taking measles until he is grown up, and there will be few deaths from this disease." Children who seem to be taking a severe cold, accompanied by much sneezing, should not be sent to school. Measles is believed to be most contagious during the first four days of the attack. The danger is after the child has subsided. If only parents through the city will co-operate with the Department of Health by keeping a careful watch as to the state of their children's health, and in keeping even a slightly ailing child at home until it is known to be free from contagion of any kind, material reductions can be made in both the case and death rates of these often so-called harmless diseases. Remember that there would be but few deaths from measles if every child could be kept from taking the disease until after five years of age. PROMINENT CHICAGO COUPLE WED AT ST. JOE Chicago Defender Reporter Discovers Charles T. Brock and Pauline Webb on Their Way to Hymenal Altar. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) St. Joe, Mich., Oct. 20. This is the story of a prominent Chicago couple played foxy with their friends, stole off to St. Joe, Mich., and were married, but an alert Chicago Defender officer was able to help them Tuesday morning, October 20, when Mr. Charles T. Brock was discovered in the city hall. He was accompanied by a lady, and the seribe was interested. Inquiry brought out the fact that his companion was Miss Pauline Webb, a well-known Christian Science practitioner. They were married that day, and the seribe was in the county clerk's office. The happy couple left in the afternoon for Chicago, where Mr. Brock is a clerk in the postoffice. UNDERTAKER'S FATHER DIES SUDDENLY Mr. Edward Hill of the firm of King & Hill, undertakers, $604 State street, left for Hamilton, Ohio, Sunday upon receipt of a telegram announcing the sudden death of his father, George A. Hill. The remains were brought to Chicago and buried from his son's chapel on Wednesday. Captain Clint Hill of the Eighth Regiment, I. N. G., is also a son of the deceased. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Republican Candidate for County Treasurer. Edward R. Litzinger was born in the old Edwinville Sept. 19, 1874. Father died when he was 6 years of age, leaving his mother and seven small children in humble circumstances. She conducted a milk and real business, and by her amulet lorts the family was kept together, Ed was sent first to the German, then to the Polish, and finally to the Holden public school. From 6 years of age he contributed his share to the family support. First he delivered milk, and when 12 years old helped on the coal and moving wagons. At 16 years he entered an insurance office, and in eight years worked himself from office boy to cashier. During these years he spent his spare hours at night schools and thereby acquired a liberal education, and graduated from Kent College of Law and graduated and was admitted to the bar in 1898. As an officer as Assistant State's Attorney heGovernor Deane, who entered a private office, and for a year struggled along on $a week. Since 1900 he has followed the active practice of law with remarkable success. No case was either too large or too small for mim to handle. For nearly fifteen years he spent two hours each night at his local office, 35th street and Archer avenue, where hundreds of people obtained advice and assistance free of charge. He has probably the largest clientage of any man of his age in Chicago. He was torey for the South Side of Chicago, Union, the Electrical Workers' Union, the Palmers' District Council, and many other organizations. He defended George W. Flitzgerald in the celebrated $172,000 United States Sub-Treasury case. His firm is Litzinger, McGurn & Reid. He has also been active in business enterprises. He is Vice President of the Southwest Trust & Savings Bank, President of the U. S. Tent & Awning Co., and interested in other concerns. Although active in Republican politics, he has only held one public office. In 1901 he overcame a Democratic majority of 4,000 and was elected the first Republican Alderman of the 5th ward in 20 years. He was endorsed by the Municipal Voters' League, and the Daily News said: "Ald. Litzinger has been active in the designation of corporation tax questions in the police department deficiencies and the police court system in the latter he has been instrumental in working needed reforms. He is a self-made man. He devotes two hours each evening attending to the documents and complaints of his constituents." His large acquaintance in Chicago was acquired partly through his early days of baseball playing. He played with the Rivals, Careys, Spandlings and other semi-pro clubs. He organized the first Amateur Baseball Association of Chicago, and for many years played in the league, the sport and almost any Sunday may be seen on the diamond at McKinley Park, while in winter he keeps in condition by playing handball with the firemen at Truke No. 32 or at Kennedy's Court. He is a member of the German Club, Concordia League, Hamilton Club, Illinois and Chicago Bar Associations. He is married, and with his wife and two children resides at the former boxyard.

First Picture of Row The bow is first depicted on Egyptian monuments about 2000 B.C. Its form then did not differ greatly from that in use among bows at the present day.

YOU CAN'T KEEP THE AFRO-AMERICANS DOWN The Afro-American people of Chicago now own over five million dollars' worth of property and have acquired over a billion dollars' worth of real estate in the United States. It is to be wondered why many more do not buy property and do away with the high rentals that they have been living for years and years. Possibly the money they have thrown away in high rents. Real estate is the best investment for small savings. More money is made from the rise in real estate values than all other causes combined. Real estate is the basis of all wealth. The road to independence is through ownership. It gives you credit and standing in your community. During the last few days many noted Spokane paper have purchased homes from the firm of Frederick H.

Dining Cars, Hotels and Restaurants, Reads Chicago Defender's Story Giving Company Credit for Fair Treatment to Its Afro-American Help. Mr. Z. Wither's article, entitled "Southern Pacific R. R. Employees 1,000 Afro-Americans," in last Saturday's issue of The Chicago Defender, was read with interest by railroad men everywhere. It was also read by the officials of the company, as is evidenced by the following letter from Mr. Alan Polok, superintendent of hotels, hotels and restaurants, with office in San Francisco: San Francisco, Cal. Oct. 28, 1944. Editor Chicago Defender. I have read article on our new website, "The Business of Michelle, written by our Mr. Z. With account of the business itself, interest exhibited by one of our authors." As Mr. Withers states, we have approximately one thousand African American employees in this department. Since my appointment as superintendent I have noted with great appreciation their keen interest in the work of the department, their anxiety to learn the business and their loyalty and patience under most dying situations. In the endeavors of this office to make the service of the Southern Pacific dining car department second to none in all respects among American railroads we have been cordially met more than half way by our car crews. This business belongs to your race. With these one thousand men it is their life work, and when one of them does wrong it is felt by us all—that is, it is a personal reflection upon every man in the department. As instructing and traveling head-water I consider our Mr. Henry Azman without a peer in the business, Mr. Wen. Harvey, our instructing and traveling chef, is one of the very first to work in the culinary business. So with hundreds of others, and I have very great pride in stating that as a body of men they can compare with an equal number anywhere and in any business. I say this advisedly, for I am personally acquainted with the capacity and working of every crew on every one of our dining cars. My reputation is bound up and dependent upon their service. Each man in the department represents to the traveling passenger upon whom he waits, the Southern Pacific Railroad, and the passenger's opinion as to the efficiency and service of the railroad, is just according to the treatment he receives from the individual employee.

We are doing more, and that is cementing the race as it possible to do, realizing that without co-operation lasting is gained. It is only because we are each opposition. If we were content to revere were in years gone by, we would be "goed as a new day dawning and we are up and past fifty years has been marvelous—so they sort fifty years hence? FOR FEAR THAT THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR REPUTATION the "best citizens" of Angleton, Texas, took Joe Durfee, who was convicted of murdering Mrs. J. M. Seltz of Post City, Texas, and who was sentenced to be legally hanged, out of prison and lynched him amid the plaudits of the whole townspeople. Such curs—with apologies to the most yellow cur—have no place in a civilized country, and each and every one of them will suffer as surely as night follows day for their inhuman treatment of their fellow man. The word justice is obsolete as far as Texas and a few other southern states are concerned, and it may take a lesson such as we see now in the old country to drive home this truth. The people were a long time working up to the Civil war, but it finally came. We are drifting along as peaceably as we can, gaining strength, education and friends and when the point is reached that we can no longer bear it, there will come a day of reckoning. Right always conquers might, and there is no gainsaying the fact that we are right. Long ago those of us who have made a study of the question have refrained from making complaint as to our condition, but have set about trying to find a remedy within our ranks, and the experiment is working beautifully. We are doing one thing if nothing more, and that is cementing the race as it was never thought possible to do, realizing that without co-operation nothing effectual or lasting is gained. It is only because we are rising we find so much opposition. If we were content to remain in the position we were in years gone by, we would be "good——" But there is a new day dawning and we are up and doing. What we did the past fifty years has been marvelous—so they say. What of the report fifty years hence? HAVE WE CRIMINAL TENDENCIES? H. HAMMOND, WRITING IN THE CITY, has this to say: "We southern folk, who Afro-American, believe in his inborn, inward crime. The proof of it exists, we say, in every hand. Certainly among the lower are chiefly in contact with, the tendency is but it can be established as ineradicable widespread, intelligent, persistent efforts to never been made on any adequate scale; and is only fair to give them the benefit of the do happenings of recent years throw the burden on us white folks who so strongly associate us deprivacy." This worthy lady enumerates prove that the Afro-American has no inborn with him like with the white brother it environment. One of these so-called mistit but fallen, was picked up by a kindly disposed man, his boy had grown up in the streets uncared of deceyness, but wise in vice. He responds, less, wise control, and a proper education as any group of the human family. This is that prove conclusively the fallacy of the souls try to live up to what is expected of them, with a man down in the gutter he will eventually is the place for him and the same holds to Mrs. Hammond has the right view of the safer article will make a favorable impression. MRS. L. H. HAMMOND, WRITING IN THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, has this to say: "We southern folk, who, as we say, know the Afro-American, believe in his inborn, ineradicable tendency toward crime. The proof of it exists, we say, in every community and on every hand. Certainly among the lower class, which is the one we are chiefly in contact with, the tendency is fairly well developed; but it can be established as ineradicable only by the failure of widespread, intelligent, persistent efforts to modify it. These have never been made on any adequate scale; and, until they are, it seems only fair to give them the benefit of the doubt. Beyond this some happenings of recent years throw the burden of proof rather heavily on us white folks who so strongly assert this doctrine of innate deprivacy." This worthy lady enumerates numbers of cases to prove that the Afro-American has no inborn depraved tendencies, with him like with the white brother it is simply a matter of environment. One of these so-called mistit boys, ragged, dirty and sullen, was picked up by a kindly disposed man and taken home. This boy had grown up in the streets uncared for, ignorant of the ways of dececy, but wise in vice. He responded to cleanliness, kindness, wise control, and a proper education as the average boy will in any group of the human family. This is but one of thousands that prove conclusively the fallacy of the southern belief. Most people try to live up to what is expected of them. If we constantly push a man down in the gutter he will eventually come to feel that that is the place for him and the same holds true when he is elevated. Mrs. Hammond has the right view of the situation and we trust her article will make a favorable impression where it is most needed. THE AFRICAN COLONIES AS APPARENT FROM THE BEGINNING That in the event of a serious struggle in cities in Africa would be dragged into the con- dence they responded nobly and they have strengthening the Allies forces. Recently a Nepengambia was elected by his own people as and if they have progressed sufficiently to representative to the imperial senate, wha- t loyal citizens when they go so willingly to country. The almost feverish haste with which of these splendid troops has been pushed in have escaped the notice of the German ad- did and the Cameroons. There is a mark the treatment received by the natives under under German rule. The latter have been been and unjust. The French are inclined to give comparative equality in educational and they will be fitted to participate in every activity. Germany, having alienated the friend in her colonies, now in her time of storm no substantial aid from them. As ye sow so s IT WAS APPARENT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CONFLICT that in the event of a serious struggle in Europe the French armies in Africa would be dragged into the conflict. When the call came they responded nobly and they have done much toward strengthening the Allies forces. Recently a full-blooded J洛lof of Scenegambia was elected by his own people as the French senator. And if they have progressed sufficiently to elect their own native representative to the imperial senate, who shall say they are not loyal citizens when they go so willingly to the defense of their country. The almost feverish haste with which the raising and training of these splendid troops has been pushed forward cannot at least have escaped the notice of the German administration in Togoland and the Cameroons. There is a marked difference between the treatment received by the natives under French rule and that under German rule. The latter have been in many instances cruel and unjust. The French are inclined to believe if they are given comparative equality in educational and social advancement they will be fitted to participate in every sphere of national activity. Germany, having alienated the friendship of the darker people in her colonies, now in her time of storm and stress can expect no substantial aid from them. As we sow so shall we reap.

That a big metropolitan daily that is supposed to stand for the uplift of all people, should stoop to such little things, purely and simply out of prejudice, and to instill more prejudice in the minds of their readers, is beyond comprehension. This paper forcefully edited has always stood as a champion of the people's rights with one exception, and because they were fearless and outspoken they have been able to act as a balance wheel between the oppressed and oppressors. We are asking for nothing except to be let alone, and this and other papers will receive our everlasting gratitude and support if they will put as much energy in boosting us in the future as they have in knocking us in the past. Further we sayeth not. FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND RACE MEN, chiefly in the southern states, have been lynched by mobs and shot down by white men (under the guise of our friends) in the past 50 years, and still not a ripple on the water has been heard from the United States government or any of the state governments. And at the rate they are killing down there, in fifty more years, if the Negro don't learn how to use the shot gun and throw nitro-glycerine at the "Gods" of Hell, there will not be a Negro left to keep Jim Crow cars in fashion. IN THE ABSENCE OF THE OLD LOG FIRE in the hearth, like you were accustomed to down home, a steam radiator fills the bill very acceptably. IT IS A HARD MATTER to break away from the bright lights when once you are accustomed to them. A waiter who for several years was making good in a downtown restaurant, was given by a rich patron of the place an excellent position in his home where he would have little to do and make double the wages. After holding the place down for a week he returned to the restaurant and asked to be reinstated, saying "I just had to get back in public life again, that's all." And that is the reason we find so many living from hand to mouth in a city rather than live in comparative luxury in a smaller place. It's the same old story of the moth and the flame. THERE SHOULD BE NO DOUBT IN THE MINDS of those who have given the matter any consideration as to what candidates deserve their support. The record of each man has been held up to the light and if you vote for a man who in the past has not conserved your interest, or for a new man who has done nothing in other walks of life worth while, you have no one but yourself to blame for the consequences. This election gives us a golden opportunity. Are we big enough to lay aside personal feelings and put men in office who not only will be a credit to the race but to the city as well? STATE STREET WAS LIKE A DESERTED VILLAGE the first day the cold snap struck town. Talk about birds wending their way southward at the first approach of winter. There was a hurry and scurry for steam heated flats by the strollers that would have made the flight of birds seem as a velocipede to an automobile. EDITOR CHICAGO DEFENDER: "Are the Germans and Allies still fighting?—C. B. L." Ans—Yes. N. B. We promised faithfully to let our war correspondent know the minute the last gun was fired so he could come out of hiding, and we intend to do it or die in the attempt. THERE IS BUT ONE THING TO REMEMBER when you go to the polls and that is that the candidates you vote for are going to represent you. Just how they represent you is determined by the caliber of the candidate. So be sure you are right then go ahead. POSSIBLY IT HASN'T OCCURRED TO YOU, MR. BUSINESS MAN, that now while things are apparently at a standstill, a little judicious advertising would go a long way toward building up your business. Try it. MEXICAN REVOLUTIONISTS have a hard time keeping their squabbles on the front page of the newspapers during the other unpleasantness abroad. God be praised for a country like France. We would be pleased to see her rule the world, if we are to be under a real republic. Discrimination in Playgrounds A Plea for a Chance for the Children of the South"All Work and No Play,"Ec., Applies to the Offspring of All Mankind. By Miss Eiza Sengatchek, Savannah, Ga. "ALL PLAY AND NO WORK MAKES JACK A LAZY BOY." On the other hand all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Play is the business of childhood and should be treated as such. Even a little play is necessary for grown people. In some of our cities, playgrounds are established in the different parks and squares, a force of directors is employed to supervise the children while at play and also to instruct them in the different games that are to be played. This is an excellent way to convert the surplus energy in growing children into the right channel and so save them from mischief. These children so blessed ought to develop into useful citizens when it comes their time to take the place of their elders. It is a very gratifying sight to see the little sand piles where the little tots can play to their hearts content; the swings for the larger boys and girls, and also the basket-ball bases, sea-saws, and baseball diamonds. Strange to say, all of the playgrounds that I know of are operated by and for the benefit of the opposite race, and, too, if I have been rightly informed, the city pays for their maintenance. Now if we are all citizens and taxpayers is it not a fair question why a similar situation cannot exist for our boys and girls? Perhaps inquiry which would come from the authorities would be an answer to the question as, "If the playgrounds are started would the little brothers and sisters in black have time to play therein? Meanwhile who would be left to go for the soiled clothes the little brother in white takes off after he has been busy in his playground? Who would be left at home to mind the little baby in black while its mother is toiling to pay the rent and keep food? In fact who would chop the wood and do the thousand and one things required to be done in the house?" These at first seem to be pretty fair questions and yet they can be answered easily. We as well as they know that all children of the opposite race do not find time to make use of the playground, and so for those who have time to play arrangements should be made. We are surely, under the law of most every state, guaranteed at least a separate and equal accommodation. Are we getting it in the playground? Retrospection By W. Allison Sweeney Once, a time in June long years ago. Leaves just stirring, butterflies kissing. We lingered there through dreamy hours. There by the ruined mill and lazy brook— A day in paradise, and then—oh, well, we walked apart. Long after—give me the map—here where my finger Points we met once more, under orient skies. Met, but still the ice of years remained. Bearing a queen's pride, knowing a queen's due. She swept in silence by. Once, only once, we met again—no word between. Her stately halls the tryst; A throng, hushed, slowing move. Placed flowers at her head and feet. "My Auto, 'Tis of Thee." My auto, 'tis of thee, short cut to poverty, of thee I chant. I blew a plea of dough on you two years ago, and now you quite refuse to go, or won't or can't. Through town and country-side you were my joy and pride—a happy day. I loved thy gaudy hue, thy nice white tires so new, but now you're down and out for in every case the ratte box came many hump and knacked the grieve. Badly thy is torn; frayed the seats and worn; the wheoping cough affects thy horn. I do believe. My perfume swells the breeze while good folks choke and wheeze as we pass by. I paid for the a price 'twould buy a mansion twice; now everybody's yelling "ice"—I wonder why. The motor has the gripe, thy tires are too soft, thy thine. I too have suffered chills, ages and kindred life endeavoring to pay my bills since they wert mume. Gone is my bank roll now; no more 'twould choke the cow, as once before. Yet I had the mon, so help me John—I had the car, car again and speed some more.—Ek. Gradual Advance in Artillery The greatest change in artillery came about the time of our Civil war, when the rifled gun was brought out. It increased the range and power. At a later period the gun carriages were improved, so that the recoil was sorbed instead of being allowed to throw the gun back after each discharge. Since 1869 constant improvements have been made until the present efficient artillery has been produced. Passing of Youth To me the passing of youth was escaping from a torment of passion, strife and trouble into a phicid content. My griefs and joys gave less violent, I ceased hating those who had wronged me, and, in lesser degree, grew calmer in my attachments. Understand I found I could I think more clearly, be more liberal and understand better—American Magazine. The Touchestone of Euret Never to despise, never to judge rabble, never to interpret other men's actions in an ill sense; but to compassionate their infirmities, bear their burdens, excuse their weaknesses, make up and consolidate the breaches of charity happened by their fault, to confections, and ever to love men, year after year, in calendars; therein the touchstone of true charity is known—N. Caussin. Part of Theory Sheet 16.1 Part of Them She Didn't Like. My little niece, Beatrice, aged four, won fused of little round sausage cakes. One morning the link sausage were indigently beatrice.

BARTLETT & CO., Owners Chicago's Largest Real Estate Operator Phone our Mr. Thomas, Randolph 2751, for special appointment to see our bargains 59-69 W. Washington St. Fresh Air, Screens, Ventilation. As the approach of winter comes on there is a tendency on the part of humanity (especially that part of humanity that is less conscious of the value of fresh air) to close all the windows and doors in order, as they forgetting the fact that fresh air is very necessary to the prevention of disease and the preservation of health. If we would be well and vigorous it is absolutely necessary that our homes have at all times a current of fresh air passing through our dwellings. Some people close all the windows and doors for fear of taking cold, others shut out the cold air, as they say, with the idea of saving fuel. All of which is a mistake. People who allow themselves to become run down, people who overload their stomach with indigestible food, people who allow their bowels to become constricted, who breathe foul, overheated air, who become infected with colds and other bad air diseases than those who maintain the temperature of their home in the neighborhood of 65 or 70 degrees P Air in homes that is overheated, dry or air loaded with inpurities, towers the vital resistance of the body and renders one more susceptible to colds and other infectious diseases. Air may be foul, bad, cold, moist or dry. Some people have an idea that because the air is cold in a room that is pure; this is a mistake. Air shut up in an air-tight room, if be prepared that room, the air is bad. Air that has no air of our lungs, contaminated with bad gas from the lungs and body, is foul and poisonous and should be allowed to escape from our living rooms or sleeping chambers. If you sit in a room where the air is bad or overheated you become drowsy, sluggish, you will have a tendency to yawn, and often you will have a head ache. The best cure for these con- ditions is the windows, throw open doors and let in a current of fresh air, and you will find that you will feel much better. Night Air. Do not be afraid of night air. It is the only air we have to breathe at night. As a rule it is cleaner and purer than day air. The impurities mixed with dust and dirt often settle with earth and are less prevalent during the night. Air as a rule is pure after a good rain; after a good frost or heavy dew is always purer than after a windy, blustry day. It is best to breathe through the nose and not through the mouth. If FROM OUR EXCHANGES "Negro and Negress." Some of the Colored people of Boston are protesting to the editor of a daily paper there against the use of the word "Negress" when referring to Colored women. The justice of the protest must be apparent to every man and woman of color. There is no more obvious word, no word more insulting than is the reason for its use. And yet what real opposition for it can Colored people make when a great war our men refer to themselves as "Negress." "Negress" is no more a suitable name for the Colored people of this country than "dago" is for Italian or "sheep" is for the Jew. And to capitalize it gives it no more dignity nor respect than to not do so. This paper referred recently to the power of the white press over its Colored readers. The power is not more plainly shown in that the persistent use of the word "Negro" by it has caused the race's leading men of thought to be more aware of having been accomplished, the white press is now beginning to use the most offensive term "Negress" as descriptive of Colored women. Colored people should avoid the use of the word "Negro" wherever possible. It has been used in such a manner by the white press as to throw it into disrepute. But if we, ourselves, colored men, logically we cannot obey them for Colored women. Regular writers on this paper never use either word, and when "Negro" appears in these columns it is used by others. The very etymology of the word shows it is not a proper noun and hence cannot be used as the name of a person, whenever it is used by prominent Colored men. Colored people are either consciously or unconsciously kowtowing to the whites, whether you cannot breathe freely through your nose there is some diseased condition, and it will be advisable to consult your family physician. Screens. Do not be in a hurry to remove the screens from your rooms or apartments. They are very necessary now, and will still fulfill the latter part of November or the next December. Flares are cold on the outside and are very anxious to get into your home. They are just as dirty and dangerous now as they were in the summer months. Keep your screens in your windows and continue to swat the fly, as flies are full of typhoid fever germs, tuberculosis germs and other infections disease microbes. Your ability as a housekeeper—the estimate of your cleanliness and your condition of health—is judged largely by the incidence of the numbe rof flies you encounter to accumulate in your home. If you want to see what a fly does—if you want to realize the danger to health and the awful pest that flies are—visit some of the "movies" where the lesson of the dirty fly is often shown. Don't be afraid of a draft. Let the air find its way into your house through open windows, doors and transoms, fireplaces, chimney flues, etc. After you arise in the morning throw up all windows, open the doors, throw back the curtains and let the air blow over them. Then too great a hurry to make up the bed, let it air thoroughly until after breakfast, until the children have gone to school. In seeking a house in which to dwell, take that apartment that has the glass in the windows, that is most exposed. Occupy those bedrooms where are most accessible to the sunlight and have most of outside exposure. Good cross-room ventilation can be obtained through opening made by lowering the upper sash of opposite windows from about 2 to 6 inches. When there are windows on only one side of the sleeping chamber an opening should be made above the upper sash and a similar opening made below the lower sash. This arrangement will allow the hot, foul, contaminated air to escape through the opening above the upper sash, as the cold, pure, fresh air enters below. Insist that your churches, lodge rooms, dance halls and other places of assembly are thoroughly ventilated and are kept comfortable. Fresh air prevents disease, preserves health, lessens the drug bills, doctor bills, builds up and maintains your standard of efficiency. they call themselves the Negro Business League or the recently formed Negro Fraternal Congress. The Appeal heartily approves the above excerpt from the Louisville (Ky.) News. The Colored people who use the word "Negro" in describing themselves are making a terrible mistake. They may mean well, but they are certainly misguided. The word "Negro" ought to have died with slavery. When the former slaves were liberated they were no longer "Negroes," but Americans, and they ought to be proud of their American citizenship and endower to make it a reality and not try to put themes into a parish class. These are nothing more ridiculous than a yellow man or a near-white man yelling himself hoarse about being a "Negro." It is stating a falsehood. An American black man ought not be called a "Negro" but an American. "Negro" and "Negroes" as used by Caucasians in the United States are terms of devision and carry with them the sense of scorn, mockery, contempt and ridicule. "The use of "Negro" and "Negress" aid in the differentiation of the Col- labor and other Americans. It helps discriminate against in- lustrate and leading to segregation. Uses of the Chip. The newest theory regarding the chin and the one which seems the most reasonable yet advanced is that the chin is purely and simply a factor in the mechanical force exerted by our lower jaw in chewing our food, and in speech. According to this theory the chin is situated at the outer end of the jaw, where the momentum is greatest, and is made up of a heavy mass of bone and flesh in order that it may help give greater force to the jaw's motion.
