The Democrat landslide in Cook County did not affect these two popular candidates. Editor Turner ran ahead of the ticket in the First District, and Major "Bok" did likewise in the Third District. The early returns report: white precincts. He carried two white precincts of the Third Ward and ran even with his Republican colleague in the same ward. His total vote, according to the police returns, was 613, as against 592 for Walsh (Democrat) and 630 for Ostrum (Republican). He will gain in the cavasson of the vote by the Electon Commissioners. His home precinct gave him 501 votes, as against 71 and 73 for opponents. Democrats, Progressives, Republicans and Socialists of all nationalities voted for him. This is the most popular vote ever given a candidate in his home precinct. Sad Major Jack to a Defender reporter: MU-SO-LIT CLUB DISCUSSES BUSINESS Washington, D.

Five Boarding Pupils Who Paid Their Tuition in Provisions Formed First Class—Stuck to Work, However, and Made It Successful. Special to The Chicago Defender. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 6.—The middle school work of a lone African-American student, short of Leed Bethune of Daytonia, Fla., has recently been made known. Starting with a dollar and a half in cash, she built up an institution of learning in less than ten years which has called forth the following comment from Harrison Rhodes, author of "The Gentleman from Mississippi." In a modest, almost secret way the school grew, practically unnoticed by the white population. Indeed, it was not until Mrs. Bethune had slowly saved a few hundred dollars and had purchased a lot upon which she meant to build a school building that she went to the town's citizens and asked them to form a board of trustees to board the title, requested, advisory board of women—short of white guarantees and white help. The foundations were laid by black labor and in black devotion to the black race, the only foundations upon which anything lasting and uplifting for the Afro-American can ever be raised." Potatoes Pay Tuition. Daytonia, situated in the southern part of Florida, was a region, before the coming of Mrs. Bethune, where Continued on Page 7.)

Will for the Abolishment of the —Well Known Attorn Knowledge HIGH COURT LISTENS Tells Court That Afro-Americans Door of the Temple of Justice Enjoyed by Everyb States of W By John H. Polk. Washington, D. C., Nov. 6.—The Hon. William Harrison of Oklahoma City, Okla., unquestionably one of the oldest Afro-American lawyers of the country, appeared before the United States supreme court Monday in oral argument against the constitutionality of the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law. The Oklahoma statutes, in addition to the usual "Jim Crow" requirements of separate cars and waiting rooms for the white and colored races, permit the state to allow cars, sleeping cars and dining cars for one race. The railroads contend that this is a justified distinction in service, as not enough colored people desired facilities to pay the railroads for furnishing them. Replying to the content set up by the railway companies, Mr. Harrison was heard by the court to allege that the law upon which their content is based is a direct violation of both the letter and the spirit of the enabling act under which the state of the union is attached to the union; that it contravened the laws of the United States; that it nullifies Sections 1 and 5 of the fourteenth amendment, which had for its very purpose the prevention of just such discriminatory legislation as here complained of, and that therefore the same is null and void and ought to be so declared by the honorable court. In the discussion of each and all of these propositions Mr. Harrison evidenced that keenness of penetration, that comprehensive knowledge of the law and its practice, that facility and eloquence of speech and that dignity of manner and bearing which designated him at once the able lawyer and the greatest man and writer, the most respectful and sympathetic hearing of the greatest court in the world. Mr. Harrison's argument was a deliberate, dispassionate, incisive and logical discussion of the case at bar from its every angle, and was beyond question one of the ablest defenses ever heard in behalf of the Afro-American before this great court. The fact that he applied to every interrogatory by the TRIPLE ALLIES OF GOOD HEALTH MEET. Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists Club Held First Regular Session Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists Club met in first regular session on Friday evening, Oct. 30, 1914, rolling the largest membership in the history of the organization. A scientific program was rendered, consisting of a classical paper on "Eclamapia," J. R. White, and an excel article titled "The Paper of Dr. J. N. Harris." The papers elicited an enthusiastic discussion. At the end of the program a tasty menu was served to the accompaniment of Mumm's Extra Dry, compliments of Dr. Harris. Cligars were furnished by Dr. Harper. In preparation for the coming meeting of the National Medical Association in this city, August, the president, Dr. T. S. Officer, appointed a member of the committee, most important of which is the management Committee, of which Dr. U. G. Daley is chairman, and Dr. H. A. Turner, secretary.

Mr. Harrison was asked by Chief Justice White if it was the purpose of the plaintiffs to allege discrimination. "Most positively so," replied by Mr. Harrison. Replying to Mr. Justice Day as to whether or not several "Jim Crow" cases had been passed on by the state courts, Mr. Harrison answered that while it was a fact that the supreme courts of several of the states had passed upon the evidence of the several "Jim Crow" enactments, it was also a fact that upon appeal the supreme court almost invariably held with the state courts, and for instance plaintiffs had decided to incestuous cases in the state courts. Asked by Mr. Justice Pitney if his petition did not allege that in the enactment of this statute the legislature of Oklahoma was actuated wholly by a desire to humiliate the colored people of that state, Mr. Harrison answered that he did and that he hoped to show by argument that such was the case. The readiness and appearance sincerity with which Mr. Harrison answered the question put by the court seemed to be dissolved in his favor every doubt as to his ability and his preparedness. Legal.

DAILY NEWSPAPERS FORCED TO RETRACT STATEMENT "NEGRO" ROBBED WOMAN Rector of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church Able to Sit Up, After Short Confinement at St. Luke's Hospital. Last week it was rumored that the Rector H. Massiah was ill, but nothing definite was encountered up to the time of going to press Sunday, however, it was learned that Father Massiah had undergone a surgical operation by Dr. Daniel H. Williams at St. Luke's Hospital early in the week and that he was making rapid progress towards recovery, which week it was learned that he was still recovering from indications point to his returning home the present week. The development of Father Massiah's work at St. Thomas' Church during the past year has been of signal success, requiring him to devote every day and hour to the endless details which go to make this especial work the immense success it has brought to his life perhaps had much to do with his fitness. Father Massiah is one of the most energetic men occupying the pulpit today. THE FARSIGHTED MEN. The man who sees the days ahead and provides for them. The man who isn't caught napping or found wanting when opportunity comes. The man who has the ready money when needed. The man who improves his time and mind. The man who lives within his means. The man who isn't a victim of the "tomorrow habit." The man who has credit and standing in his community. The man who will not throw away his money for high rent, but who will buy a home and have free rent for old age. Are you that man? You now own a home and become a home owner and have free rent for old age, providing you are not a victim of the "tomorrow habit." See Bartlett's and on the last page of this issue. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Nashville, Tennessee, Nov. 6.—The Nashville Boosters' Club, an organization of that city, chartered a train and carried about 1,000 people over to St. Louis. The object of the trip was to "boost Nashville," and to advertise its many advantages as a place of opportunity for the race to live. The educational and commercial advantages were impressively described by charts and circulars. DR. C. T. NICHOL APPOINTED CITY DENTAL INSPECTOR "Neys from the front" tells of the appointment of this progressive young surgeon of the mouth by the highest average he gave "for whites" July 20. Dr. Nichol is a graduate of Fisk University, receiving the B. A. degree in 1902 and subsequently receiving the degree of doctor of dental surgery from Northwestern University in 1910. He possesses all of the distinguished traits of true Southern aristocracy, with a personality distinctively indifferent and modest, interspersed with a keen sense of humor all his own. He enjoys a sweetened life, 1500 State street among Chicago's elite, and promises to be one of our most successful professional young men. It goes without saying, therefore, we are only too glad to have such an example of stubborn taule to succeed to cast his lot among us.

Allison Sweeney. Chicago being one of the big cities of the world, it takes a big thing to move it, to cause it to sit up and take notice. But when Thursday morning, Oct. 20, two of its greatest dalles, the Tribune and Herald, with American Examiner, Post and Journal running to form and circulating the yarn printed a story a column in length, topped with big black type, that a white woman, "wife of a North Side music director," had been found about the hour of midnight in an alley near the De Lance Instructor, Ilion and Clifton avenue, insnittible robbed of $3,500 in jewelry, Chicago was moved in dead earnest and did most assuredly sit up and take notice. face and neck and tried to choke her. Finally Mrs. Steinhauer lost consciousness. Gatewood was not arrested until it occurred in the morning. By that time the police, in the neighborhood, rounded from the flats in the neighborhood. Sept. 7. Harry recognized Gatewood, who was the victim of an assault in the usual hour and in the theater lobby at the usual hour and in the theater. As the person he arrested was in the theater, the attack on a girl employed by a physician. "Did you hear noise in the alley last night?" Harry demanded, after the slept in the theater building. "Nigro answered," Harry with his cape laid on the room occupied by the necroman. On the door the necroman locked his feet from its settling. Detective Lafosse, finding him in the settling, detained Lafosse. Harry found an unassured diamond under a claw. Mrs. Steinhauer Ring "That the necroman was the woman who was beaten up in the alley." When reading further it was charged the crime was committed by a Negro, "a trusted employee of the De Luxe," his duties being to remain in the theater at night, "to guard the receipts which had been taken in after the fire," in closed the shock and indignation held by the choreographer white heat, and if on that day, the day the story appeared in the Tribute and Herald, Chicago had been a city south of the imaginary line, does anyone doubt what would have transpired? Some time between the going down of the sun and the crowing of recksters at next day's dawn, hell of more Negroes, who were from lamp posts, shot full of holes, their bodies slowly burning to a crisp from fires around which savage mobs would have danced and shouted. Trying Time. It was indeed a time of disquietude and nervousness in certain localities in Chicago, that date of Oct. 29—just days ago. Colored men going to and returning to their accommodations, called to different sections of it, felt it in the air; was conscious of an intangible something; a feeling, new and strange, that puzzled and worried them. White men and women, and even children, in cars and on the streets, seemed to avoid them, or, if looking at them, it was with a scowl, or exclamation, that they felt all Negroes were to be disturbed be bathed; were seer criminals; only waiting for an opportunity to prove it. An indirect remark, dropped at random, by a thoughtless colored man, however innocent meaning, in some quarters of Chicago would have been sufficient to have started the ball rolling. It was certainly no day for flame fanning, upon the part of Chicago's colored people. But here is the article, looking and speaking for itself as published: Daring Robbery on the North Side by Highwaymen at REGAINS $3,500 IN JEWELRY. Man Arrested Was Porter in Theater Where Robber Occurred. Within a few hours after Mrs. Eva Steinbauer, the school president, had been found unconcerned about the robbery, she alongside the De Luxe Theater in Wilson and Clifton avenues, the Town Hall, and the day out of a roundup of half a hundred men. The man they are holding is Ernest Gatewood, porter in the theater. In the afternoon, the man was found the $3,500 worth of jewelry which almost cost Mrs. Steinbauer her life with diamonds, a hoop ring set with five diamonds, a hoop ring set with two diamonds, a diamond bracelet and a gold bracelet with three diamonds. In the alley she renewed the struggle of her life. She touched her hair her jewelry. She fought静然, for her hands were too busy to remove the scarf she pulled.

Finally Mr. Malcolm lost consciousness. Gatewood was not arrested until 5:45 a.m. morning. By that time the police station was closed, and the rounth from the flats in the neighborhood. Sergt. Harry recognized Gatewood, who was beginning his work in the theater as a stage manager and in the usual way, as the person who had been in the theater year before—almost to the imprisoned man on a girl employed by at North Side police. "Did you hear any noise in the alley where Barry demanded, after the Negro and Barry in the theater building, sound? The Negro answered, Barry, with "Sateteeh." The room occupied by the Negro. On the floor, Barry, with "Sateteeh," leaped from its setting. Detective Lafos, under Barry, found an unset diamond under Barry. "Mrs. Steinhaur," she said. "That woman who was beaten up in the alley last night, hazarded Barry. The woman who was beaten up in the alley last night, hazarded Barry." "Said Gatewood. "She told me she was afraid to keep her jewelry, and asked me to keep her jewelry." Gatewood climbed up im... rafters behind him and hidden the gems of an amber bottle. The bottles and receptacles could see the beer case, but gatewood didn't seem to be heading for it. He was already at the objective. At the muzzles of their volutes barry and Lofte forced him to climb up and be crowded sloft and returned with the beer case. It sure enough, was the stolen jewelry. The Tribute, in literature (philosophy), the other newspapers, printed a story Thursday Thursday night, alleging attack on Mrs. Roehlbauer, the wife of the rector at the Wilson Theater. It was ridden by the Wilson Theater. It was found lying in an alley. The Louis Theater with brushes on her face.

Cause of Trouble, ‘The real cause of the trouble was that the Lincolus played the home team off their feet. Last year the doys journeyed out thero, and better treatment they never recelved. Noth- ing was too good for the visitors— the home team even put themselves out of the way to see that they got back to the depot all right after the game.

Last year not a word was sald against the team or Its color; this year every insulting name was thrown at them and, fur ‘thermore, there was no police protec: tion. The Lincolns trotted on the field, Tan through a few plays, and then Harry Prim dropped back for a punt, sending the ball high in the alz for forty yards, much to the amazement of tho crowd, which was fast gather. ing. When the ball hit tho ground both Riddle and Wilson were on the spot, this causing much comment. Lincolns won the toss and Langston chose to kick off. H. Briscoe of Mel- rose Park refereed, while F.

Petit Brings Up Grave and Threatening Question in Recent Criticism on Illinois Parole Law — Case of Frank Ford and David Goldberg. JUSTICE COLOR-BLIND. Maladministration of Justice Penalty of Race Prejudice—Freedom Will Only Come When Administered to All Classes Allike—The Criminal Trust. By George W. Ellis Upon the administration of justice depends the perpetuity of any community. No government can long survive the wide diffusion and permanence of injustice. The dangers to society are not limited to the subjected through the maladministration of justice to certain influential criminals, poor whites and Afro Americans were lightly touched upon the other day in one of the local pauls in the city. Judge Jarry and Judge Assail Parole Law." Judge Petit, the Grand Jury. This article calls attention to an abnormal social situation which should chain the immediate attention of the public to the violation of this article was the conviction of Frank Ford and David Goldberg for taking human life and who, upon pleas of guilty, came up before Judge Adolor J. Paitt for sentence. The response to this conviction led to lenency in granting paroles in the future and the remarks of the chief justice open up a political and social situation which should not be closed until some remedial steps have been taken. The chief justice other things the chief justice says. "The big crook finds it easy to get a parole; a first offender without influence or friends can't pry himself out." A Menacing Situation. Such is the political condition of our community that the officials entrusted with official power have so betrayed their trusts to the general public and the people that professional criminals cannot be confined in the city, and that they belong. Many of them escape justice through the corrupt action of the detective and police forces of this city. A recent investigation showed that a criminal trust had been organized to pay certain officials for protection of the people without official hindrance or molestation. And in the event that circumstances should so shape themselves as to demand and secure their arrest and conviction and confinement of their powerful connection with the crime trust, in and out of office, repeated paroles are secured for them through these potent influences working under the cover and through the functions of the police. This is the indictment of the democracy of this community and the Christianity and civilization of its people that they should tolerate such a situation after one of their judicial officers, the chief justice of the circuit court, has called for the police to be made aware because of this corrupt alliance between criminals and officials of the law the poor and those who deserve paroles and the benefits of the elegency of the law are unable to get certain criminals and justice which the whole community demands in the class of first and experienced offenders of the law should get. Jung White Offender. Another offender, sometimes only features. One of the offenders, Ford, is an Afro-American. He was sentenced for life, while Goldberg was sent to a reformatory. Goldberg is a white young lad of only 17 years. Without knowing any of the other Nazi prisoners, his case was properly disposed of in being sent to Pontine for reform. It may be that that young lad can be reformed, and the fact that he is white should have nothing to do with the other Nazi prisoners. His white boy took human life for the small sum of $3.5$, showing on the face of things that he had fallen very low in the scale of humanity, yet his tender years of only 17 and his undoubted inexperience in criminal justice had allowed the proper social and reformatory environment even this lad who had strayed so far away from normal standards may be redeemed, and the system of parole laws was enacted to unity to place their unfortunate victims again on the path of social welfare and human progress. Judge Petit has called to the attention of the people of Chicago a menacing situation which has creeped silently upon the remedies, will threaten the very foundations of civic virtue and social welfare. Men should not be tried for their color nor should they be punished for it. Each case should be handled all the facts in the case and the law. Judge Petit is known for his fearless discharge of what he considers his official duty, his impartial administration of the law and his unquestioned uprightness and integrity of character. And because of this we think deeply of what he disclosed when he said: "Some of the jurors said they would have voted to hang Ford had he not pleaded guilty. I would hang him, too, if he were white, but I would not. If he were white boy off the Negroes might misunderstand my action, and the Negro newspapers probably would distort the facts and cause race prejudice." Judge Scott and the Ford Case. Judge Scott Judge Paulit acted the part of wisdom and, from all we know of the facts of Ford's case, did the right thing. We do not, however, agree as to what should have constituted the reasons for his course. The feeling that the jury would have hanged Ford was that he would have been race, against which there is in this country a violent and potent prejudice, invading every department of American life and corrupting in many states and communities the very foundations of liberty and justice. There would be no justice, and it is more noticeable than in the verdicts of juries and sometimes in the American people are too often unable to protect themselves against the prejudice of the jury room because of their poverty and want of influential friends, and at times money and property are not protected Afro-American people from the terrible and devastating effects of American race prejudice. The just and wise judge can offset this prejudice known to exist and to express it in imposing light sentences and granting paroles. In the light of this consideration we think Judge Petit acted wisely and justly and we heartily commend Judge Ford was a convict of the crime and was awarded for these reasons was entitled to more punishment and a different kind to that of young Goldberg. But if Ford had been sentenced to hang himself, he would have, and perhaps newspapers, too, misunderstood the reasons for the dissimilar disposition of the two persons. And in this very fact and social situation in America lies a tragedy almost one of the penalties of race prejudice. When juries and courts establish a reputation of doing justice, regardless of race, freedom will not only come to the Afro-American people, but to white people. If we are free to do justice to all men. But the Afro-American race has suffered so much and so long at the hands of the white race that we are thankful for the consideration shown Ford, whether they have been his reasons. News of the Churches QUINN CHAPEL CHURCH ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday, November 5th, is our first quarterly meeting for this conference year. Of course it is going to be a big one.

The prayer meeting last Wednesday evening at the Club, which is planning to help the church in the ways most needed.

The regular meeting of the teachers and officers was held home of Mr. Pierce, 4814 Evans avenue, with your $2.50 for the Thanksgiving rally. Watch Your Step A prominent country priest, well known for his humor, in speaking of a good ecclesiastical digitaries the other evening, humorously remarked: "The man who goes along this mundane sphere keeping both eyes on the time is liable to trip and land in a quicky quick. But the man who always lives on heaven and the other good one on earth is liable to gain the best in heaven and earth." Natural Mistake Little Eunice was very fond of her mother's friend, Mrs. Clayton, who had atoped in for a few moments on her dressing table, and was wearing a beautiful new gown. Little Eunice gazed at her for several seconds, speechless with admiration, and then burst out delightedly, "Oh, you look so beautiful!" A fashion dish: "Youth's Caucasian." To Test Suspected Coin There is a very simple means of testing a suspected coin, which can be applied in any circumstances. Take a good coin and vigorously rub its milled edge against that of the suspect. If the coin on trial is a "wrong un" it will peel off, or at least show signs of flaking. If the edge bears the coin may safely be accepted. This evidence may be given by an officer of the criminal investigation department of England, who declared it to be a certain test. Complimentary. The bishop of London, speaking recently, said that churches did not drop down from heaven any more than bishops, though a little girl in his congregation, evidently under that delusion, had recently said to her mother during a living sermon: "I am tired of being told not the bishop go back to heaven!" Inspiration. Half the difficulty of fighting any severe battle or accomplish any task is that he has comrades at his side fighting in the same cause, or that the eyes of those he loves are upon him, the eyes of his victors for his victory—C.

Thinkers "Men of thought" are the thinkers, the creators of ideas, the men who furnish the inspirations and theories, white "men of action" are the workers, the men who work with the others. Sometimes the two are combined in one, as in the case of Napoleon, Caesar, Da Vinci, who were at the same time great in both theory and practice.

About the Nichtingale It is said that few birds lend themselves to captivity so readily as the nightingales. To be sure, they should be kept in a secure outdoor cage. The story is told of one nightingale which never sang again after it went from its old owl窝.

Replied the sympathetic person. "But now I'm getting so I don't care what happens to you."-London Oblinen. Whispering Galleries. Famous whispering galleries are those in the capitol of Washington and in Gloucester cathedral, England. In these galleries, each foot apart may distinctly hear each other speaking in whispers, and in the latter, the gallery, which is octagonal in form, conveys a whisper to have, a distance of 75 feet. - Pathfinders Murderous Plants There are plants whose roots, like textules, feel about until they touch some live prey, then send forth a stinging hair which shocks and paralyzes the victim, giving the clawa a chance to close about him.

CERO town of Watts, in the vielnity of Los Angeles, has an energetic, industrious Afro-American population numbering Something like 600, ‘The majority of these people came from the South, ‘purehased their homes by degrees after having secured employment in Los Angeles. ‘Their preference for « suburban homo with its possibility of truck farming, poultey and eattle raise ing was the underlying motive for thelr choice of Wats as a place of residence; consequently there are a Eoowly’ number of farmers who own thriving ranches that net them a con: siderable income. ‘There are also Janitors, carpenters, brickmasons, furniture dealers, gro. cory dealers and one real estate agent. ‘The latter, R. C. Patton, is sald to be doing w thriving business, having offices in Watts, Los Angeles and in Chicago. There i$ a foundry owned by John Davis, who molds hinges for bungalow doors. Mr. Davis is also an inventor, having recently gotten out a patent on plumbing rings. James Seals Energetic. ‘The largest Afro-American dealer im new and second-hand furniture, James Seals, Is found on Main street, ‘opposite the eity hall. Ar. Seals eame to California about ten years ago with little or no capital. His energy and persistence are shown in the fact that he now owns the building in which his store is located and hias Inereased hhis stock from a few hundred dal lars to several thousand dollars and built up his business to such an ex- tent that hired assistance is impera- tive. ‘The local banks are also patronized by the Afro-American people of Watts, most of whom own thelr own homes, and a few have valuable holdings in Los Angeles in localities where real estate Is rapidly growing in value. These people support two churches and are erecting a third, which prom- {ses to do credit to thelr prosperous appearance. ‘The Watts Improvement League is composed of thirty-tive Afro-Americans, who organtzed for the purpose of looking after the muniel- al. political and ‘social interests of their neighbors.

Many took advantage on thelr ar- rival of the low cost of land and pur chased much valuable property; as, for instance, Moses Stapler, one of the oldest settlers, who twenty-three years ago bought considerable prop- erty on Bay street, which he sold re- cently to great advantage. He also bought the city block extending from Savannah to Evergreen streets, which he still owns; the houses on this land bring him in’a comfortable revenue. J. W. Coleman, another Atro-Ameri- ean resident of Boyle Heights, also. has secured much property, the total, valuation, of which Is estimated at $20,000. ‘This property consists of vo houses on New Jersey street, ono house on Michigan avenue, and a six- feen-room flat In process of construc- on on Savannah street.

Warlike Queens There was a Boheman queen who enrolled the greater number of her female subjects into a species of militia and trained them to ride on horseback, too. Poland also boasts a Wanda, first queen regent of Poland, in an early 1000, who never married, insisting that she be the baker without a husband. She proved this by leading her country's troops in victorious battles. Unrivaled as Guerrillas As guerrilla fighters the Cossacks are unequaled and no lines of communication are safe from their sudden dashes. An enemy's train, no matter how close behind the fighting forces it may be, can never be sure of safety from marauding Cossacks. They appear with lightning unexpectedness and attack with startling rapidity and dash. Dog Was Progressing A friend whom I visited occasionally had a bright boy three years old. His father had bought him a fine dog and the boy was fond of the dog. He was looking forward to teaching the dog some amusing tricks.

UNCLE BILL OBJECTED TO FURNISHING HER MEAL. Old Frontiersman Naturally Delights Relating to His Grandchildren How Narrowly He Escaped From Hideous Death. Uncle Bill Joyce lives down in southwestern Missouri, on the edge of the Ozark country. He has lived there a great many years, for he is an old man now, and he is full of entertaining reminiscence of the days when that corner of the state was still almost a wilderness. Among the stories he loves to tell the open-mouthed children of a more sheltered generation is this account of a lively adventure with animal that all old frontiersmen use to call a "painter." Uncle Bill will begin. One day in the summer of 1857, I shouldered my rifle and started for a day's hunt. I was bound for a small prairie some five or six miles from home. After hunting for deer a spell without seeing a sign, I turned into a small grove of walnut, oak and mulberry to hunt for squirrels. I got a good many of them during the morning. Once or twice I stopped to listen to a queer noise that I could hardly hear, it was so far away. It was a long, quivering cry that died away gradually. But it came no nearer, and finally stopped altogether. When it came noon, I went to a ginger I knew of and ate the lunch I brought with me, then thought I would go on to the prairie and hunt for wild bees—that was really what I had in mind when I started. But I felt sleepy, and thought I would take a nap first, and I stretched myself in a shady place and fell asleep. I woke a little later to find myself covered with leaves and small brush. I was puzzled enough, for I couldn't think what could have covered me up, but I decided to find out. First I got a dend log about six feet long, laid it where I had slept, and covered it with leaves and brush. I looked to see whether my gun was loaded, and then I hid in a clump of bushes some twenty or twenty-five yards away. After about twenty minutes I heard a noise. I peered out of the bushes, and saw a large shepanther coming through the trees, followed by a quarter-grown cub. She circled round the mound of leaves a couple of times; the cub followed every action of its mother. After the second round, the old panther followed for a spring. She crouched lower for the duck and drawing her feet closer together. She kept her eyes fastened on the mound of leaves all the time, and swayed her tail from side to side with a slow, regular motion. When she had gathered her feet as close together as she could, she sprang for the pile of leaves. She landed in the very middle of the pile, and gave several long, wicked rakes with her hind feet. Then she began to smell and scratch in the leaves. It didn't take her long to find out that was not something but an old log there, and she spied it began to look about. I thought that now was the time to settle matters. I was a little to her left and behind her; I caught a sight just at the base of her ear, and fired. She gave one leap and a shrill scream, and then lay still. After making sure that she was dead, I looked for the cub. It was sitting near by on the side of a leaning tree, spitting and snarling angrily. I soon put an end to that with a ride never knew a man so well hunted at it. She probably took me for dead, and covered me to keep other animals from finding me while she went after her cub.—Youth's Companion. That Settled It. Mrs. Charles H. Anthony of Munich, whose beautiful wardrobe, designed by herself, impressed Paris before the outbreak of the war, said to a New York reporter the other day: "Now is the time to introduce modest, home-made fashions for the fall and winter. The European fashion market is idle now. Let the American designer, then, get to work. "American women will welcome modest fashions, for few of them are as perverse as the American woman I heard about in Paris. "A friend said at a ball to this woman's husband: "How are they flocking round your wife! I thought you said you'd never let her wear one of those shocking evening gowns without shoulder straps? "I know, the other man answered, 'but she happened to hear me say it.'" -Buffalo Express. The Zuyder Zee. The Zuyder Zee, or Southern sea, was formerly a lake surrounded by fens and marshes, its present extent being chiefly the result of floods which occurred in the thirteenth century. Its size was about two thousand square miles and the average depth to nineteen feet. It has always been the work of the Hollanders to recover as much as possible of the land lost to them in this manner in past ages, and in the literal sense they can be said to have made half their country, having received one million acres from sea, lake and river since the sixteenth century. Making Children Think There is no end of discussion as to what courses of study shall be taken up by the schools. Different views are expressed, ranging from the bare outlines of the old-time "three R's" to the most elaborate idea of culture study, or more practical forms of teaching hand work and home arts. Meanwhile, there is one great essential running for all instruction. That is, that children be taught to think things out for themselves. Almost any course of study is good if this power is given—St. Joseph News-Press. Education. The stored mind is strong, mentality grows, like the body, by being fed. Knowledge is a tested route to wisdom, but meditation is a surer. What digestion is to food, meditation is to knowledge. The end of all education is to teach a person to think clearly, strongly and practically. Valuable in Surgical Work. The sinews of the kangaroo are especially desirable for use in surgery, for sewing wounds and binding broken bones together. GERMAN CAPITAL FOUR TIMES OCCUPIED BY ENEMY. Most Severe Blow Was During the Thirty Years' War—Captured by the Austrians in 1757—When Napoleon Entered. Of the capitals of the nations now at war in Europe, Berlin, in times past, has suffered most at the hands of foreign troops. In all warfare, the capital of the country invaded is usually the objective of the hostile action. Our own capital at Washington suffered at the hands of the British in the war of 1812. Since 1448 Berlin has been the seat of the Hohenzollerns and has been occupied four times by the forces of an invading enemy. During the Thirty years' war the city was practically razed to the ground. About one hundred years later, in 1767, it was taken by the Austrians. They did no harm to the city, as they received a ransom of 1,500,000 thalers—about $1,252,000. At the end of the disastrous Jena campaign the capital of Germany fell into the hands of the French in 1806. It was occupied by the troops of Napoleon for two years. When Prussia won in 1812 Berlin was again taken by the "Little Corporal" and was held for a year. Next to Berlin Paris has suffered most at the hands of hostile troops. In March, 1814, the allied armies which had opposed Napoleon took the capital of France and held it for two months. A year later, at the end of the Hundred Days, the city again fell into the hands of the enemy. In April, the French tried to blow up the Arch de Triomphe, which celebrated the victory of the French at Jena, but the British were opposed to it and saved the arch. After a long siege by the Germans in 1870 Paris was again occupied by hostile troops. This time much damage was done to the city. Many of the princes and burgesses were destroyed or burned and many months the fortifications around the city were held by the kaiser's soldiers. Since it became the capital of England, London has never been occupied by foreign troops, nor even has been threatened by them. It was held by Danish and Roman invaders before England, as a nation, came into existence. But since the time of the Normans the English capital has never been threatened. Before the present struggle Brussels had not been held by foreign troops, as the integrity of Belgium was preserved in the struggle of 1870. St. Petersburg, or Petrograd, as it is now called, has been too far removed from the activities in European warfare to be attained at the hands of an invading enemy. Moscow has been the objective point of troops invading Russia. In 1571 and 1591 it was taken by the Tartars of the Crimea and destroyed. In 1812 Napoleon made it the object of his invasion of Russia and aided in its destruction, although the Russians themselves had done much to destroy the city before the enemy arrived. The Terrible War Bill The wars of Napoleon in 13 years cost France $1,000,000,000. Our Civil war expenditure of the federal government amounted to $3,400,000,000, or nearly 13 times as much a year as Napoleon's. The Franco-German was cost France $1,580,000,000, besides an added war indemnity of $1,000,000,000. This 100 days' great German war cost an average fighting force of 1,250,000 men. The other big European war of the past half century, the Russo-Turkish war, cost Russia $756,140,000, but she had two years' fighting for her money. The war in the far east Cost Japan $650,000,000 and Russia $723,000,000, not counting lost ships. Only towards the end had either side any advantage in men in the field; Italy's little war cost $100,000 a day, allowing for a mere 60,000 fighting men.—Wendell Phillips Dodge, in Leslie's. South America Needs Coal. Coal is the first need of South America. In the Americas, the new publication started by the National City bank, the first big movement of trade from the United States to the southern continental countries since the war began is visible at Hampion Roads, where three important bituminous coal-carrying roads converge. An expert in the coal business estimates that a million and a half tons will within a year leave this country to consumers who have hitherto looked to Wales and Australia for their supply. South America now manufactures 8,000,000 tons of coal and bituminous coal. The competition with Australia is the chiefly to the opening of the Panama canal. His Opinion. "War," says a westerner just home from Europe, "is all right at distance but when it comes home to us, we perceive that it is a savage, horrible, vile thing." I was talking the other day to a French reservist whose age had just released him from further work. He had been a good fighter, and I said: "You'll be missed, you'll certainly be missed, in this war." "He shugged his shoulders. "Well,' he said, when you've got a wife and five children to bring up, it's better to be missed than hit." Truth. Truth. itself, according to Locke's fine saying, will not profit us so long as she is but held in the hand and taken upon trust from other minds not wood and won and wedded by our own.—George Ellot.

Recognized Word at Once A little nine-year-old boy was laboriously looking up his spelling words in the dictionary when he came upon one whose meaning was perfectly apparent to him. He dashed off a sentence containing the word "capsize" and passed to the next. Imagine the teacher's amusement when he recited glibly, "My cap size is No. 6."—Delineator. Daily Optimistic Thought. As many suffer from too much as too little. Eccentric Correspondent Visits Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois —Comments on the People He Met and Hands Out a Little Philosophy on Truth. By C. J. Hardstew. Louisville, Ky. Nov. 6. It does not always pay to tell the truth if you want to make friends and want people to like you. And then if you don't tell the truth you make enemies; and as I am new in this writing business I am not in position to say just what I am going to do until I get my hand in. You will recall I told you about the national Baptist convention in Philadelphia, and I am sure that I did not abuse anyone nor did I paint the picture half as bad as it was; yet I am called to account for it, and have been called everything but a child of God. I had about one who was a greater than I was, and I never dared to be, and I must take my share of it. I know one thing; I am a child of God and have been washed in the blood of the Lamb, and will stand whatever they put on me. I wrote my last letter from Clifton Forge, and I have been in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, since then, and am right back in Kentucky, seeing that I can see and who I can see. This business is great, and if you don't want it, you try for awhile and you will find your self getting wise. It pays to be wise and not otherwise. Goes to Maysville. I went to Maysville, Ky., and found them in a big "wet" and "dry" fight, and it was a question which should win—whether the "wets" or the "drys." They were fighting for who would last the longest, and to my surprise the "drys" won out. I heard some of the speakers. There was a spellbinder from Hopkinsville, Ky. He may have been a speller, but he did two hours trying to hear him in the thing, and believe me when I tell you that young lawyer closed his speech without saying anything, and I just had to go out without getting to hear him talk—or hear him say something, for he did talk. Maysville is just one of those little towns in Kentucky where is a good racial feeling, and I hope it will be kept up. They turned out in large numbers to hear him in the opera house; in afternoon another big crowd of both races turned out to hear that fellow who meddled with me in Philadelphia, Charles Stewart. I went out to hear him and to stand up all the time he was speaking. He is no kind of a spellbinder, either. I heard both speeches and will not comment on them. I had the pleasure of meeting the pastor of the Baptist Church there, Rochelle Jackson; and then I saw a young man who married and got to go marrying and spend his life in Philadelphia and New England points, but he talked too and he is still looking around, singing "No One to Welcome Me Home." The Reason Why. You want to know why I say the young man talked too much. He talked about his wealth, the beautiful cage he was going to purchase and have in apple-pie order for his bird. The people all believed he was going to do the job. The young lady went to the Lexington and he told her when she returned her palatial home would be ready. She stayed a few days longer than she had expected, and to her surprise when she returned that cage was not ready, and the wedding did not take place. I am informed that young Robert Gisler is going to get him a Kentucky wife to marry him. He is a graduate of Howard University. Washington, D. C., and is to open a drug store soon. I had the pleasure of meeting the Bell family. Mrs. Bessie Taylor is the senior member of the family. She is at home, happy with her husband, living within half a block of her mother. Then there is to be found Mrs. Jessie Turner, who is a Sunday School teacher; Misses Sadie Bell and Irene Bell and one other sister. It is a happy family and true to each other. Attends Woman's Convention. I went over to Cynthiana, Ky., for a day and visited the public schools, saw the children getting an education, met the teachers and visited the home of Dr. McLaurin, met his wife and stewardship, Miss Allyne D. Stewart, and met Rev. H. Nutter, pastor of the Baptist Church, and many others, and went to Lexington, Ky. I went to go back to Lexington when I can spend some time talking about it. Hope that the editor will me write until I go to the other world. I like to see my name in the paper. I had an invitation from Mrs. M. E. Steward to visit the convention known as the Baptist Women's Educational Convention. It met in Frankfort, and I was right there when the meetings was called to order by President Mrs. M. E. Steward. She was as happy as could be, and you can believe me when she told me that the greatest conventions in the country were Steward president. The convention was organized thirty-one years ago by the late William J. Simmons Mrs. Amanda Nelson of Lexington, Ky., was the first president, and she was right on hand. She delivered an address. The people honored her, and I tell you I was glad to see this. As a girl after you have served a people you love you away; but it is not so with the women of Kentucky. If I had time I would tell you more about them. But I left there after meeting Professor Mayo and his daughter, visiting the public school and talking with the writers around Frankfort. Then on Mayo, I met the woman I mean by that, I came to Louisville, sent a few hours in town, and was off to Chicago. "Gumshoes" Into Chicago I had been invited by Sister Mitchell, Sister Thomas and Brother Thomas to come to Chicago, and I want there, but did not. I was there only one day, and did not register at any of the hotels, nor did I go to any private boarding houses, but was just in town. Don't ask me anything about the city. I did not meet any people, and did not get to the office. I got in at that morning and left in the evening. Unless I tell you something I saw there you won't believe I have been in town. I got a transfer every time I got on a car. I met several people of the church. Met one sister and she told me she belonged to Brother Fisher's church, and then I saw another, woman, and the young man who was with her told me he name was Mrs. Eva Hooper and the worker did not get to meet her. I saw on Dearborn street and saw a church and was told that it was Ebenezer Baptist church, but I did not go in. I saw a great, big, fat man, and they told me he was Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, and I am told that he is a smart man and keeps all the Defender readers from getting sick. I went to the office of Lawyer Morris in a big building on Dearborn street, but I don't remember the number, but Lawyer Brown was in and Lawyer Morris was on a long street called State Street. I saw lots of our people there. Saw a number of young men who dressed and looked like millionaires, and many other things. I am going down South for a little while and will have more to tell you about it in my next. CLEVELAND LETTER CLEVELAND LETTER By Alexander O. Taylor. Ben Bolt. The popular song called "Ben Bolt" was not written by an Englishman. Its author was Thomas Dunn English, thoroughgoing American, whose home latterly was in New Jersey. English was born in Philadelphia in 1819, and was by profession a lawyer. He represented the Sixth congressional district of New Jersey in the Fifty-second and Fifty-third congresses. Historical Armed Coalitions Six thousand English troops co-operated in Cromwell's time with the French army under Turenne against Conde. Again, in 1672, 6,000 English were sent to help the French against the Dutch. Among these was John Churchill, whose military talents were noticed by Turenne. At Navarino, too, the British, French and Russian feasts were joined against the Turks. Evils of War.

China sees every year a thousand of her people fall victims to the ferocity of wolves, bears and tigers. Even little Korea has failed to totally exterminate the long-haired tiger—the largest and most ferocious of its kind—which infests the mountain regions.

The word "sniper" is the modern pictureus equivalent for the old franc-treur, or free shooter. The term denotes the civilian who, having neither distinctive uniform nor any connection with a regular military organization, takes a shot at the invader of his country.

NOTARY PUBLIC Citizens Please Award their Phones --- Chicago, IL The Three Gormans, club twirlers, opened the bill at the Grand the first half of the week. There was very little in their act worth mentioning, everything was done in an amateurish fashion and the only amusement was afforded by the mistakes they made. What they need is a little more practice before appearing at a critical house like the Grand. At Burdut put over a novelty in a singing and impersonating act the was well received. What was well received was introducing his numbers and his character work was above the average. A laughable little fare comedy was presented by Louis Bates and company of three, entitled "His Mother." It has to deal with a college boy whose mother on leaving for a two weeks' vacation leaves him in charge of the house. His sweetheart comes to spend a week end with his mother whom she has never seen, young son of one of his friends into service to impersonate his mother. Complication after complication arises and the end only comes when the real mother appears on the scene. The parts are well taken. Dodson and Gordon received a big ovation the moment they made their appearance and the applause especially for their dancing was almost incessant. They made a world of fun when they were in the crowd. The Jackson family, cysts, did many marvous stunts on the bicycle, unicycle and other wheels and made a fitting closing for the bill. The attendance as usual was good. THE FORESTERS' BALL. You are invited to attend the Forcater's ball Thanksgiving evening Ball First Regiment Armory Admission 60 cents.

SACRED CANTATA AT BETHEL CHURCH By Columbus Bragg. "Belszahler" should play until the milennium. It is a sermon in action—the greatest dramatic cantata ever given in a decade, and was a triumphal victory as presented by the Árban Musical Club Thursday, Oc tober 29, at Bethel Church. Lo. It was beautiful to behold. It was a stupendous affair, instructive and interesting. The imaginative ideas became a reality to the artistic mind. The chorus as a whole was very rich and harmonious. The trio in "Father, Lead Me by the Hand" was a musical gem. The sweet, childish voice of Myra appealed to the bearna of her listeners. The chorus was a great part in his role of Behzahzar speaks for itself. No other could have equaled him. Our hearts moved in sympathy at the falloff of so great a Behzahzar. Mrs. Laura H. Williams, the queen, was superb. She was stately and graceful. Her voice was rich in its silver tones of melody. Mrs. Blanche Dorsey-Payton was exceptionally good in voice and acting, very emotional, and has splendid talent and a pleasing, finely intoned voice. Speech was so good that no one else can scenes and costumes as they were—often—changes. The soldiers on the battlefield made an inspiring scene, and their fencing was good and very dramatic. The ladies were gorgeously costumed and the gentlemen were no less gallantly attired. Mrs. Lou Ela Smith, the directress, the Belasco of cantatas, staged it nicely for so small a platform. The production was very spectacular. Daniel was so well known as voice. A quiver of sentiment came over us while the incense was burned. From start to finish there was no long pause. The banquet feast and handwriting on the wall carried each Bible student back to his well-learned lesson. Much credit is due the accompanist, Miss Lillian Hunt, while all entrusted Mr. J. P. Bryant, the manager, to give us more artistic treats such as this. A large, apprehensive crowd filled the church at an early hour. Never in the history of cantatas was there such an elaborate production of ancient times. Moral: Such plays as this will do more in words and actions to fill the churches and empty the theaters than all the reform laws can do in a decade. As the stage and pulpit are not separate entities, they are essentially interdependent, especially if biblical historical dramas are played with great interest. The great influence to control the actions of its social conventions, and there is nothing as appealing as cantatas of this kind. "Cupid on Wheels." "Cupid on Wheels," a musical comedy by the Phyllomateon Dramatic Club at Beren Baptist Church Monday night, November 2. The program did not begin until 9:15 p. m., but every one of the participants showed us how much they appreciated our patience, and not for one moment were we allowed to think of ourselves, as we were kept in a breathless expectancy, and not ready to talk with laughter. The artistic cleverness of each individual deserves cr. cr. The voices were well chosen for each part. The monologues and dialogues were cathy and effective. The bicycle accident was no scream; the snake scare very laugable, and the persistent little Cupid won the day, and the popular Miss Valauxle Winburn yielded to the gallant Mr. Marcus F. Slayer. The Phyllomateon Dramatic Club is deserving of much praise for the wonderful exhibition of talent among its members. I voice the sentiment of all the participants, and good for me to be there. It was entirely different from our average entertainments—simply a fine box office attraction. On and Off the Stroll.

Mr. Oliver Perry, the great violinist, plays opera selections for his patrons. Yes, Mabel, the Ahaj is blood from maidens' hearts that has been preserved for centuries, and virgins buried alive to be consecrated to the ecstasy of fantasia of bones. It is coming, sure. At the Richelieu there is a sweet girl and very pretty too. I refer to Miss Trinkle Davis, who stands out with most of those more widely known, and the place has become the mecca for the more sedate patronage of the Stroll through its decorum. Miss Octavia Walker, one of the most beautiful cabaretists of the Stroll, sang a very enchanting number. Methinks it's the dazzle of those pretty black eyes so charming, or her face is taken off so fascinating that attaches to her. Mr. Klein pleased everyone by placing Mr. Arthur Allen, the popular fiddling comedian, on a return date. He is very pleasing. Miss Isola Ringold, an up-to-date single; Wiggins and Wiggins, a great team, with Nickerson and Ramsey heading the bill, are very clever. A good bill all through at the Nice Bar.

(Special to The Chicago Defender.) La Porte, Ind., Nov. 6.—Last Friday evening Miss Hazel Har振, the oment pinnate, made her first appearance at the Madison Street Theater and the house was packed from pit to dome. The music lovers of this section were proud to present the acta a royal welcome, and Miss Harrison demonstrated that Berlin, Germany, and her great teacher, Buzon, had exerted a powerful influence upon her playing. The program was beautifully arranged. Selections were given which illustrated the temperaments of the Slav, the Teuton and the Latin, the German influences to aid the German economy. It was by far the greatest program ever rendered in this city. The daily paper the next morning said: "The feature, of course, was the first appearance in La Porte, after years of concertizing in Berlin, of Miss Hazel Harrison, who, without exaggerating the term, now might be called an eminent pianist, but that she was able to gain a high appreciation in the musical center of the world must necessarily stamp her with possessing the skill that marks the difference between the good and the finest. Two superb interpretations of master compositions not only comprised a personal triumph for herself, but created an indelible impression. A Porte girl is a credit to the city and entitled to every mark of appreciation its people can vouchsafe her." There were a number of white artists on the program and they were fine. When Miss Harrison appeared there was loud applause. She was beautifully gowned. She used her own grand piano. She played Fantasia in the performance by her. After the performance she was given the greatest applause of the evening. The next morning the critic said: "Miss Harrison carried away all the honors an enthusiastic audience could bestow. She is one of a very small class of pianists who has been able to so master her instrument that she seems to use it other natural language. She has attained the language where technique is merged in art and forgotten. The listener only knows he is being led by a master hand entirely familiar to his guide, and there is nothing left to desire." Miss Harrison will play again next Tuesday night and will be the only artist invited to number of her friends of Chicago and South Bend have been invited. She will appear in Chicago soon. GRAND SYMPHONY, VOCAL AND INSTRU- MENTAL CONCERT. To be rendered at Grand Theater, under the direction of Mr. Dave Payton, orchestra leader of the above theater.

Coleridge Taylor, James Bland, Rosmond Johnson, Will Marion Cook and others. The program will be made up to suit everyone. Popular light and standard numbers. One of the main efforts of the organization is to dispel the over popular saying that an Afro-American band or orchestra cannot play anything but ragtime. From a glance of the musicians and special stars it will seem any program ever arranged in the theater will be among them will be Mr. Harrison Emmanuel, violinist; Mr. Willie Wintle, violinist; Miss Lerciere Knox-Mitchell, soloist; Mr. Chas. Young, soloist. The introduction concert will be held Saturday afternoon, Nov. 17, at 3 o'clock, at Grand Theater. THE ABYSSINIA LEAGUE.

NOTED AFRO-AMERICAN LAWYER PLEASS REFER II. heard him that he had in every respect measured up to the occasion. Race Must Plead Own Cause. The experience of Mr. Harrison is but adduced to the fact that the American who is capable of it is thoroughly prepared commands the same respectful consideration as is accorded the men of other races of like attainment. Then, too, it adds impetus to the growing belief that ultimately it must be the Afro-American lawyer who is to plead our cause and win for us in fact as well as in theory. The future for our capable lawyers is assured. In this connection it might prove interesting to state that Mr. Harrison is one of the few Afro-American judges we have in this country. Early in this year he was the unanimous choice of the white bar of Oklahoma City for the judge. The case at bar involved $40,000 more. Judge Harrison's services proved satisfactory to all concerned.

Advertising to their charge that the Afro-Americans were seeking social equality in their efforts to have the "Jim Crow" laws declared unconstitutional, Mr. Harrison pointed out to the court that social equality was not something capable of being regulated by legislative enactment, and that it was quite a different thing from legal equality, which had been guaranteed all citizens by the constitution of the United States, and which Oklahoma, along with certain other states, was seeking to deny to a large proportion of its citizens by the enactment of "Jim Crow" laws, which would have been the court that the Afro-Americans of the United States stood knocking at the door of the Temple of Justice demanding that legal equality enjoyed by everybody else in the United States, of whatever race, and denied only to him. Mr. Harrison spoke for one hour and thirty minutes, and it was agreed by all who DETROIT THEATERS Detroit, Mich., Nov. 6—Dudley's Vaudette, Park & Brown, a sister act, opened the bill.

"Dixie" Popular With All "Dixie," sung originally as a "walk around" at a Broadway minstrel show, became an inspiring southern battle song, then spread throughout the whole country and took its place among its national airs. It was played and sung with equal zest by both the blue and gray in the Spanish war. Not All at One Time Not All at One Time. The Not All at One Time. of the same time to men—Homer. An Unfortunate Race: "Ghosts? Why, of course there are ghosts," said a man at the club recently. "Churchyards are full of ghosts. And no wonder churchyards are full of them. After he's been kicked and cuffed and abused all his life, where is the man whose ghost, especially on these balmy summer evenings, doesn't enjoy a quiet sit-down in the moonlight in order to read his epitaph?" Mr. Boster Makes Some Observations on the Prevailing Style of the Large Eye-Glasses. "Will you please tell me why people are wearing such terrible looking eye-glasses nowadays?" Boster asked his spouse. "Spees are bad enough at any time, but the kind so popular now are the ones." A tortoise shell rim an inch thick, the glasses themselves about four times as large as we have been accustomed to! What's the answer? "Do people see better through these big glasses, or do they wear the things to make them look intellectual? If the idea is to make folks look worse these glasses fulfill their mission, for they make people look like owls. "Look at Tilly Ann Jones! Eyes the size of a pinhead and glasses to fit a little bit heavier, the things do succeed in making them look wise, and a wonderful invention they are to have such an effect on Tilly Ann!" "I don't think these big round spectacles are intended to make people look wise," responded Mrs. Boster. "There are many eye affections these days, and the larger the glasses the larger the leases, and the more things are magnified, I suppose." The goods are indeed good Boster. "The goods are indeed very well recommended. At the same time there is a disadvantage in seeing too well. Too powerful glasses have spotted many a love affair and prevented the union of loving hearts." "Ofglef was once in love with my sister, and he couldn't see very well. The peculiar affection of his sister. The peculiar affection of his sister. Her appear so to him. She really wasn't beautiful at all, according to other people's sight—never had been and never would be." "Now it happened that Ofglef went over to Germany and was gone a long time, as lovers usually are in romances, and then he came back in the same romantic way. On his way to call on my sister when he got back from a friend of my sister's and inquired if Sade were as beautiful as ever. "He *as* told yes, that Sadie was just as beautiful as ever—no more, no less. Obfogle had acquired a pair of owl spectacles of the ultramodern type. He supposed that If Sadie had looked lovely before her loveliness would loom up twice as large through the new and more powerful specs. "With a smile of anticipation he came to the house. When Sadie entered the parlor he took a good look at her and just again—just as they say in story books. "On the whole, species are a bad thing. I hope you and the girls will not invest in them, even if they are fashionable at present." Senator Root's Birthplace A visit to Senator Bob Birch's birthplace at Clinton, N. Y., and a visit of Hamilton college, so closely identified with his entire career, throw interesting sideights upon his life story. Schoolmates were found living at Clinton who remembered "Little Ellin" as a child and recalled the shrill, high-pitched voice that today resounds in the senate chamber. As industrious then as he is today, his boyhood friends insist that he grows more and more "the very picture" of his noted father, who belonged to the brilliant line of American teachers who popularized mathematics in the nineteenth century. Out of his hearing, Prof. Oren Root was called "Cube Root," and one son, Senator Root's brother, who succeeded his father as professor of mathematics, was facetiously called "Square Root"—appropriate for the men enlisted in the study of mathematics—"Ellin Root—Statesman," by Joe Mitchell Chaple, in National Magazine. New Experience. Representatives J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania and Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming are two of the most inveterate talkers in the house. They can find a great deal to say on almost any subject—and do. Both sit on the Republican side of the house, but each is so eager to spread language over the pages of the Congressional Record that they are constantly getting in each other's way like two willing boys trying to help mother. The other night Moore gave a dinner. Mondell was one of the guests she was told on for a speech. After he was taken for a while a strange, glad light outpressed his face and he observed gratefully his genial and臀ian host: "I believe this is the first time I have ever talked when you were present without being interrupted."—Exchange. Activities of Women. Over eight thousand women are engaged in commercial pursuits in England and Wales. Pennsylvania has nearly fifty thousand girl workers between the age of sixteen and twenty. Many Japanese women earn their living by working in the fields and on the docks. Mrs. Margaret Cherdron, who two years ago was the Taft elector from Tulsa is a candidate for the state senate in state. The Kingdom of Saxony takes first place as an industrial state in Germany, and in 1912 was $66,408 workers, of whom 276,710 were women. Queen Mary of England is doing her share in the present war by Helping to knit 30,000 pairs of socks, which are needed by the British soldiers.

She rented a house at $11 per month, installed five boarding pupils, whose tuition was paid for in provisions, such as potatoes, meat and the like. As only two beds could be secured at that time for her and her three were obliged to sleep in each. In addition to carrying on the day school, she taught a night class of men and women, who paid her in cash, which enabled her to meet many of her expenses. In like manner she secured money; by the giving of enrolment, the school today consists of twenty acres of land, one four-story building with modern improvements; one medium-sized cottage used as a shade building, a neat, attractive hospital, two-story, with modern improvements; a splendid farmhouse, modern barn, syrup mill, one mute and wagon, four cows, a fine building house and pigs. A fine building house and a lot, outside the school premises, as a reading room for the men and boys of the community. Born of Slave Parents. Mrs. Bethune was born of slave parents in South Carolina and received her training at Scotia Seminary, North Carolina, her expenses being paid by a white seamstress, Miss Mary Christman of Denver, Colo. In speaking of her work, Mrs. Dumont has said: "I longed to do something for my race, especially for the girls and women; but my order out of the chaos we see around us. I was not familiar with the work of Hampton and Tuskegee, except in a general way. I believed that my people's starting point upward must be religion and industry. Hence the planting of this institution. This work grew out of my own soul. The seed of my heart when I was in darkness myself. Whatever I have accomplished has been in answer to prayer." LOUISVILLE, KY. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 6.—While we have been in the midst of a great business whirl, and have been looking well into the things that are most needful to the advancement of our people in Kentucky, yet as winter comes on we turn aside for a few days of pleasure. The week of Halloween was a gala week in Louisville, beginning with the Alphonouga's 20th by a jury given by his Kiskimin Mets at the home of Mrs. B. F. Johnson, which was a most delightful event. The beautiful dining room was decorated in dahlia, white chrysanthemums and ferns. After dancing for two hours the party then repaired to the dining room. Covers were laid for twenty and a most delightful job, which was served by the hostess. Hill and Mrs. A. R. Norris entertained with a dinner party, which was the most beautiful event of the season, the house being decorated in real Halloween style, from pampers to dining room with huge pumps, autumn leaves, plotted plants and vines. Covers were laid for twelve and a lovely afternoon of real fun and pleasure every one departed declaring Mrs. Norris to be the queen of all hostesses in this city. * ** We are glad to say that Rev. Dr. J. Harvey, new pastor of Quinn Chapel, is making quite an impression in Louisville church expression. He has planned great things for not only the church, but the whole community, and many other good things he will start a temperance movement. Let us hope that not only this but all other plans will prove a success. * ** The football game Saturday between Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, and State University of Kentucky was played before a large crowd and resulted in an easy victory for Fisk, the final score being 21-16. To the minute and using the new style of play, simply ran over our boys and seem to be in line for the championship of the South. The Annual Scrap. The Louisville News is resumed its annual fight against the B. F. Kelth and Mary Anderson Theater, who insist on enforcing the Afro-Americans of Louisville to sneak in alley ways and climb up in the galleries to witness their shows, but with the support of the News the better class of Negroes have refused to visit such places and persuading the race to stand on their principle, and it is worse to note that one of the journals of our city has refused to refuse from such places. And the News can depend upon the assistance of the Chicago Defender in this fight, which will never cease until we have won a complete victory which some day will and must come. * * The young men of Quinn Chapel Sunday school have organized a basketball team for the Negroes, and John, physical director of the Y. M. C. A., for their instructor, and are open to meet all teams not averaging over 140 pounds. SEEMS to HAVE Reason in Dog. Frequently dogs and cats awaken a human friend to call for fire, for instance, instinct would tell the animal to get out of danger at once, but reason must tell him otherwise. Instinct should tell a dog to attack a human friend when he strikes out boldly when his human friend is in danger of drowning. Rejoiced 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. "Oh," explained James, just entering third grade, "I asked pap this morning that I had to go to college, an' if I did it now it would not be any use, an' teacher says I'm naturally stupid, so I only have 12 more years to go to school!"

THINGS WE OUGHT TO L But It Seems Impossible to Do All Of Them and Get Anything ' Else Done. If we did everything we ought to do, we should never get anything done. That does not mean that we should never get anything done that we ought not to do. It is not to be taken as a plagiarism upon "Satan finds some mischief still for jude hands to do." It means that we should never get any time for the things that they then or not. If we went to see all the people we ought to go to see there would be no time for people to come to see us. If we read all the books we ought to read we should never get to look at the magazines or the fascinating worthless novels, and should never get half through the "ought to" books. If we had meetings we ought to attend, the pickles would not get made and the froning would not get done. This is a question which has to do with women, you see, because men never think very much about what they ought and what they ought not do. They just do it anyway. If we went without the women, you may be getting a little off the subject, remarks the Indianaapolis News. If we played checkers with our husbands every evening we should have no time for crocheting. If we dusted the furniture and watered the porch boxes and fed the chickens every morning we should not have time for those delightful back fence conversations. If we filled the threads and hemmed them out of all of our books, we have little time to dust. If we wrote all our club papers out of our books instead of out of other people's books, we should have no time or brains left to help the children with their lessons in the evening. Duty is insatiable. If we did everything she told us to do, she would demand every minute of our time and would still have to get around to work, best way to get around to work to wander do the things she wants us to do. Then she can not interfere with us and we can ignore and forget her existence, doing exactly as we please all the time. Ancient Family. Although most of the present day descendants of the Huns are to be found in Bulgaria, the premier family of the Hungarian nobility—the Esterhayas—claim lineal descent from Attila; and the earliest Hungarian records, to some extent, bear out their claim. They show no trace of their ancestry. Their appearance, for Attila was, physically, the most hild our characters in history, while the Esterhayas are a conspicuously handsome family. The biographer of Prince Paul Esterhayz attributes the improvement in physique to the fact that for centuries past, owing to their colossal wealth, the Esterhayz have been able to select the most beautiful women as their consorts. Although considerably diminished, their estates still comprise 21 county 500 market towns and 140 villages. Of the many hazy witnesses one of the famous Holkham sheep shearings in England he told Lord Leicester that he could show on his estates as many sheepers as the earl could sheep. War's Tax on Uniforms. Some of the correspondents are already telling us that the British soldiers' uniforms are beginning to show wear and tear. It used to be believed that a good uniform would last a campaign. That was not the experience of 1870. In December, 1870 (says Von Bremen) according to a writer in the Manchester Gazette, soldiers might have been seen plied along the miry roads in the depth of winter barefoot, while many had only wooden shoes and linen trousers. When the Tenth corps marched into Le Mans in January scarcely a soldier was clothed in the regulation manner. Civilian garments, even French red breeches, were common. As is well known, during the South African war the Boers stripped the uniform of their helmets and developed quite a fancy for beards in this way. It was not callousness, but necessity developing a matter of fact habit of mind. The Pocket Stove In the ancient days of the open fireplace and the iron crane—not so very ancient, either, because our grandparents used them—and even later when the American cooking stove was an object of such curiosity that people visited their fortunate neighbors to see how one worked, a laugh of ridicule would have greeted the announcement that a stove could be made which one could carry in one's pocket because there are thousands of them in use today. Little giants, they can do much work. They are called disks, because that is what they really are—just a disk from three inches in diameter up, with an electric wire attached. Screw the socket into the electric light fixture, turn on the current and there you are. Russian Navy Russia has never been much of a 'naval power. Russia's "naval supremacy" was never destroyed, since such supremacy never existed. Japan destroyed the better part of her navy in the role of the Sea of Japan."

Her jewels had been stolen in the attack the story stated. When the attack was reported Detective Doyle entered the room of Fernet Gateau, a Norges banker, and arrested Gateau, charging him and attacking Mrs. Steinhaus and taking her "Taking Her Blings Off." "The show was gone on and I couldn't get her out of the room and she was taking her rushes off. She said she wanted me to keep them for her and I was not sure if they were in her handbag, which I laid on a table. "When the police came they asked me about the jewelry and I got it, just where she was. I hadn't intended to steal it and never asked her for it. She insisted that I keep it for her." NO TROUBLE TO SECURE MONEY DURING THE WAR Chicagoans Planning for Thanksgiving and Christmas Have Good Friend In Local Firm. The temporary shortage of money caused by the European war should not alarm the residents of Chicago, because a local firm—Baker & Co. 105 West Monroe street, corner of Clark—is amply prepared to loan them any amount from $10 to $100 on the most expensive loan. The cold spell this week reminds the housekeeper of the necessities of winter, and if there is any shortage in the funds for coal or anything else you need just call up Randolph 3208 and let Baker & Co. help you out.

Oldtime Needlswork 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 preoculous, 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. the loyal support given me, and I shall try to serve my people and protect the interests of all the people of the State of Illinois." County Commissioners. There were two members of the race running for County Commissioners—Col. F. A. Denison on the Republican ticket and Dr. George C. Hall, Progressive. Col. Dennison, according to early returns, received 72,232 votes. Not a Republican was elected to the county. A Republican was elected to any of the county offices. Congressman Madden and Mann of the Chicago district, Republicans, were returned to Congress. Hon. George B. Harding was elected Senator from the First Senatorial District. Hon. John A. Ettelson, Republican, was returned from the Third Senatorial District. Second and Third Wards Republican. In the Second and Third wards, where the Afro-American vote is heavy, was rolled up the biggest Republican majorities in the city. The biggest vote Sherman received was 5,289, which is in the Second Ward, controlled by Afro-Americans. Protests lasted 40 per cent.

Raymond Robbins, the Progressive, made a miserably poor showing all over the State, another indication, of the falling off of the Progressives. The Result. The election clearly shows that most of the Republicans who supported Roosevelt have gone back in the grand old party, this being evidenced by the many Republicans elected Governors of States and Republican Congressmen returned to Congress. It means that the president tired of Democratic hard times and the Republican President and a Republican President if the Republican party will live true to its principles of equality, justice and fairness, the Afro-American will roll up their sleeves and wrest from the Democrats the reigns of government.

GETTING YOUR DUES. TP ISN'T GOOD POLICY to go in search of trouble, but it is good policy to be prepared for it when it comes, and to know just what to do under any and all circumstances. ‘The supposition is that the state of Ilinvis is irce irom “Jim Crow" laws, that equal rights prevail and that the color of the skin makes no difference in the treatment of American eitizens or in fact citizens of any coun- try. We repeat this was the supposition but it is only a supposition as far as the actual treatment of the Afro-American is concerned. ‘The laws at Springiield are just and fair to every man, but why should it be necessary for us to take recourse to the law for the most trivial things, ‘Those who disregard the law know full well when they discriminate they are violating the law and must suffer the consequences, yet they will constantly take the chance and will continue to do so unless we make an example of cach offender, even if we are put to expense and trouble in so doing. Recently in Ur- hana a gentleman and his wife entered a moving picture house, they were piloted by the usher to seats in the rows which were “re- served" for US—some af these theater managers are so thoughtful ww weliare. Finding the seats not to their liking they got up and ited seats more favorably located, on the white side of the weray." lone, ‘The manager protested and informed the two it they \yould have to return to their former seats, and explained hat they had bought tickets on the hack of whieh was printed “sub- Ke to conditions.” Upon their refusing to leave the chief of police wat called into service and sueceeded in having them leave. ‘They commanded the officer to pice them under arrest which he refused to do but told them to appear in court the next morning. Why the mayor of the town appeared on the scene and ordered their re= lease is a question, unless it he because the offendeys intimated to him that they were backed by an organization—emanating the N. A. A.C. P—whose purpose was to sceure for people the rights they consider theirs, These people were not rough or noisy but refined, cultured people and their intention is to see the thing through to a finish. ‘These things must be stopped, nothing must he let go by \without @ protest. Re sure first you are within your rights, then stop at nothing honorable to gain your point. ‘Too long we have put up with injustices simply because we disliked the notoriety or feared the expenditure of a little time and money. Everything that is worth having is worth fighting for and the foremost thing is your God-given rights, THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY. SUCH A TIME THE “OLD LINE” POLITICAL PARTIES had and are still having over the Afro-American vote. For in- _ stance, the Indianapolis Star says: “Any member of the race who res vote the Democratic or Republican ticket, at once lays him- + Copen to the suspicion of having done so for mercenary and cor- THX motives. Ie is in the Progressive party alone where the voter belongs. ‘It is the only party which offers him opportunity. It is the policy and promise of this party to treat the Afro-American not AS a race any more than it treats Germans or Irishmen as a race, but as men and citizens. Ibis the party of the future, and those who fail to unite with it make a fatal mistake.” What did the Star say that for; the editor of the New Orleans States calls attention to the fact that the spokesmen, including the big Colonel hiniseli, of the Progressives, are bidding for the Southern vote with the bait that the new party will be lily white and free from the taint which made alliance with the Republican party intolerable. On the other hand it igyperfectly plain that the Dull Moosers outside of the South are offering the Afro-American sugar coated pills and proclaiming that they haven't the slightest prejudice against receiving them in- to {ull fellowship. Abraham Lincoln once said the American re- Public could not survive half free and half slave. ‘The same is true of a political party it cannot survive if the bars are not let down both in the North and in the South and let every man who so de- sires become a full fledged member of an organifation whose sole purpose is to promote the welfare of not a certain class of people but of the whole people. One of the hardest things we have to contend with is this classing us separate and apart as a race of peo- ple simply because of color. First, last and all the time we are American citizens more so than thousands, yes, millions who claim that privilege, and we demand to be treated as such in every re- spect, and the party whichever one it may chance to be, who lets us in on the ground floor on this basis is the party that will rule things in the future. DO WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE THINGS WE HAVE or have we no sense of pride and ownership in the beautiful and costly buildings erected and maintained for our especial use? * little over a year ago the doors of the Wabash avenue depart- of the ¥. M. C. A. were thrown open to the public. The plant exesents an outlay of something. like'$200,000. How much of ais we paid and how much of this.we promised to’ pay but didn’t is too well known to need cominent here, suffice to say the difference ‘would be considered by many a small fortune. The sad part of it all is that no.one was forced into giving, it was of their own free-will, and their cards which were as promissory notes were turned into the finance committee in good faith, and the amounts subscribed were depended upon for construction. Perhaps some are devoid of con- Science or a year would not have rolled around and found their obli- gation still unmet. ‘To-day while the institution is ngt in financial straights, to maintain its high standard and to carry the work on fiectively during these pressing times, $2,000 is needed, a sum that every man and woman should be glad to donate to knowing the value this splendid institution is to the community. Other ¥, M. C. A's throughout the city are are asked to contribtue much larger sums for the maintenance of their institution and are responding nobly, can we do less when the eyes not only of those in the wdrk in this city but of the entire country are pon us? Our Y. is the model, the largest, finest and most modern, This is Chicago. We have a reputation we must live up to, Do not wait to be asked to contribute, send what you can large or small now. MAKING HALLOWE'EN HIDEOUS. NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF ‘THE SO-CALLED “BLACK BELT” could a night like the last Hallowe'en be found. Early in the evening men and women appeared on the street in all sorts of fantastic costumes, and as the evening grew the crouds in- creased until State street and Thirty-fifth street was simply a secth- ingg mass of humanity, all bent of having what they termed a good time, and such a time it was. \Vomen caring little about their ‘appearance, dressed in the most outlandish fashion, smoked cigar -ettes:on the streets, entered the buffets and drank at the bar. They were noisy but fortunately not vulgar in their speceti, and the police because of the event overlooked many things that otherwise would have landed the offender in the lock up. And who were these chil- dren—we say children because only those with the brain of a child would stoop to do childish acts that brought disgrace not only upon themselves but on the race? Chicago citizens, but the seum of the race, especially from the southern states, Men and women who know not the distinction or the difference between right and priv. tlege, and who think only for the moment and not of the harm their actions may cause others. We say and observe that things arc getting harder for us every day in Chicago, Is it to be wondered at when we hqve this clement within our race to contend with: ‘The good citizens will see to it that never again will stich disgrace. ful performances be witnessed on our streets, as a special force of jolicemen will be detailed for that Purpose. It is all right to cele- brate Hallowe'en if in so celebrating the rights of others are not trampled upon, but who can tell what an ignorant man or womas will do when transplanted from a section of the country where they have no privileges to a Section of the country where privileges and rights are accorded them? THE YELLOW PERIL. IT TS ASSERTED COLONEL ROOSEVELT knows of two bowers who upon the slightest provocation will swoup down upon the United States and gobble us all up. Everyone guesses Japan as one of the powers, but speculation is rife as to the other. ‘There is no gainsaying the inet that we have not been any too courteous to the Japanese, in many instances openly insulted them. ‘The affair in California only tended to make matters worse, and the press of the country either through prejudice or fear delight to jab at them occasionally aid make reference to the yellow peril. White suprem- sey is simply a case of intelligence over ignorance, numerically they are as but a drop in the bucket as compared to the darker races. Col. Roosevit can always he depended upon to spring a thriller just when the dear public are comfortably seated and have their glasses trained on the passing world show. One would think him an alarmist if many of the thiags he has said did not come true. In this particular instance we hope he is, for if there is any one thing shat we are not craving for it is war—it is revolting enough at long distance. ed WHAT HAS EUROPE DONE FOR THE NEGRO? ‘The secretary of the Equal Rights Society in discussing Europe and what it has done jor the colored man forgot to mention that she gave the colored man equal rights, if they were or were not chizens. while America does not. He forgot to say that America has given the Negro bastards and made him crave for them, while Europe legalizes his children born of white mothers or iathers or mixed marriages. Europe has administered the law of their land to him just as she has done to her white subjects. What has America done? Read Judge Pettit’s appeal in this issue of this paper. Europe has taught its subjects to love all shades and colors of people, which lets the Negro in. What has America done? ‘Taught the Negro to love white to such a degree that in some sections of America it is a crime for a black woman to bear a black child. Europe has honored the blick woman and has honored her offspring, hoth from the mised, as Dumas, and irom the black, as Peter Jackson. Europe has and is still giving us black generals in her armies and commis- sioned officers in her navy. Would to God America would get her eyes open at least. SIGNS OF THE TIME, THAT THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION of the problems eon- fronting the Afro-American depends largely upon the Afro-Amer- icans themselves is voiced by two writers in this issue of ‘The Chicago Defender. One is white and comes like a voice from the South, the other is a Washington contribution to this paper. The days of sympathy for the Afro-American have long since passed, the only ery of a progressive race is simple JUSTICE. But as we run it is reireshing to read the truth by the wayside.

We are quite sure other roads in America could do the same if they were per- mitted to rob their passengers as is done in the South. Think of paying first-class fare from Atlanta to Jacksonville and having to ride in a car that had not seen water on its loors for six months, Do you wonder why such roads are prosperous? SINCE JANUARY 1, 1911, $411,500 has been raised by the race to erect Y. M. C. A. buildings in Chicago, Indianapolis, Wash- ington, Philadelphia and one or two other cities, and the work is yet in its infancy. There is every reason to believe before many years, there will be a Y. M. C. A, in every city of any size in the country, but Mr. Rosenwald smiles and says the more the merrier. FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR itis said the net profits of the Pullman Company were 17:8 per cent on an enormously inflated capitalization of $120,000,000. Still the porters are forced to get their profits from the traveling public. Who says the life of a porter is a bed of roses, and who wouldn't like to be a stockholder in the Pullman Company? Don't all raise your hands at once. IT COSTS LOTS OF MONEY to run for office but look at the graft if you're elected.
