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."

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.

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. Late Tuesday night Mrs. Steinhaus, walking unescorted from a friend's house to her own home at 4745 Beacon street, passed the mouth of the alley. From the alley crept a man, who sprang as soon as Mrs. Steinhaus' back was toward him. Gripped from behind, Mrs. Steinhaus opened her mouth to scream for help. A handkerchief, wadded in her assallant's hand, met the scream half way, and an instant later she found herself gagged. As the man dragged her back into the alley Mrs. Steinhaus twisted in his grasp and saw he was a Negro. In the alley she renewed the struggle of her life. She touched her hair her jewelry.

On the floor, Barry, with "Sateteeh," leaped from its setting. Detective Lafos, under Barry, found an unset diamond under Barry. "Mrs. Steinhaur," she said.

RS BEST PLAYERS. Park People Poor Sportmen being Defeat, They Want to Cooliness of Captain Langs- Prevents Serious Trouble. The Lincoln-Melrose Park annual ovalball game ended 12 to 12 after the biggest kind of a squabble, in which Referee Dossoe and Umpire Young came near to blows when the latter informed Dossoe that he knew as much about football as Nero did. Race feeling ran high, and only for the coolness of Canal Langton, Wilson and a few others, the team would have with the Melrose Park team there would have been one of the worst rights ever known in that section. And the result of it would have been that the Lincoln team would have been the losers, for fully seven thousand saw the game, and all but a few were from Melrose Park, where they live. Those who were with the Lincoln team, although a few wended their way to the boys and said they were sorry, because they were not only entitled to victory but treatment as gentlemen, being the best behaved set of athletes that ever invaded that suburb. ```markdown ``` Cause of Trouble. The real cause of the trouble was that the Lincoln played the home team off their feet. Last year the boys journeyed out there, and better treatment they never received. Nothing was too good for the visitors—the home team even put themselves in the game, and they got back to the denot all right, the game. Why? The result of the game was 47 to 0 in favor of the home team. This year they expected a runaway game. Not getting it, they became sulky and wanted to fight. Last year not a word was said against the team or its color; this year every insulting word was said against it, another, there was no police protection. The Lincoln trotted on the field, ran through a few plays, and then Harry Prim dropped back for a punt, sending the ball high in the air for forty yards, much to the amazement of the crowd, which was fast gathering. When the ball hit the ground Lincoln ran back to the spot, this causing much comment Lincoln won the toss and Langton chose to kick off. H. Briscoe of Melrose Park referred, while F. Young of the Defender acted as ampire. Allen Stars at Once Riddle kicked off and the ball went into the waiting arms of Moore Park's fullback on the five-yard line. With great interference the ball was brought back thirty yards, Langton and Wilson breaking up the interference. Riddle missing his tackle, Allen nailed the runner with a twitch. It was first play of the game and time was taken out, as the runner was hurt. ```markdown ``` Lincoln held for downs. Here Young called Briscoe's attention to the fact that after the ball had been in the *Lincoln's* possession there were signs of dirty playing on the part of the home boys. Here an argument ensued. On the next play Allen plowed through Maxwell and Johnson, going ten yards before being downed. Allen again hit the line for four more. Portlock was sent against them on the next play and as taken out, in his stride, Preston put in a forward pass to Primus caused the crowd to gasp. Another to Riddle put the ball on the Melrose ten-yard ne. Here Melrose and Lincoln were off side. Melrose shouted their ends off, but Young refused to penalize Lincoln, as both teams were guilty, telrose tried the line, but failed, gain they tried and got through, but len, and Wilson brought the runner. A fast fight was narrowly avert- Allen. Young called Briscoe's attention to unnecessary roughness and piling on by the Melrose team. On the next play Ross, Vaughn and Riddle were off side by unipure refusing to penalize unless referee stopped Melrose from slugging. Primus interstellement. Ross was sent to the Melrose fifteen-yard line, Allen and Wilson hit, the line for three apiece. Allen hit it so hard that two Melrose men were laid out. Here another fight was narrowly averted. The quarter ended with the ball in Lin-tern's possession on Melrose twelve-yard line. --- Lincolns Score Twice. Play resumed. Allen carried the ball over on the next two plays. Try at goal failed. Riddel got the ball on the kickoff and ran it back twenty yards, but was laid out. On the next play he was laid out again and retired from the game. This materially weakened the Lincolncs. Forward passes, trick plays, carried the ball to the kickoff and tempted an attempt at a forward went wild and Melrose gained possession of the ball. They tried the line, but Primus nailed them. Wilson broke through and threw the quarterback for a fiveyard loss. Maxwell intercepted a forward pass, but was thrown in his tracks. Much ill feeling began to exist, Langton calling on his men to play clean as possible. Proctor hit the line for ten yards, with the whole Melrose players out. Langton were offside and another dispute between umpire and reerose arose. Many Melrose players threatened the umpire, but coolness on both teams prevented. Wilson, with great interference by Proctor, Langton and Allen, went over for the second touchdown. Lincolncs again failed at goal. Melrose received the ball and again Allen tipped through and brought his man down with a vicious kick. Here the ball got ugly and hurled abusive names. He seemed sure, and Langton and Allen held a conference. Langston's Diplomacy. Allen retread, for adverse feeling was running high. Reeves went in. Melrose began to play dirty ball again, strong arming, shoving, hudging, slugging. Young and Briscoe hold a conference for five minutes with the manu- fort of Melrose Park team and threaten to take Lincoln's off the field un- treatment was given visi- aged up and down field. A forward pass was intercepted by Proctor and the quarter ended. With many of their stars out, the Lincoln gradually began to show the strain. Dade was sent in at right end, after Melrose had slugged their way to a touchdown. More ill feeling being shown on when the next play Dade and a Melrose player ran into each other and Dade's head hit the ground. The ball was removed. The first blood was flowing and two sutches were taken, and Dade was removed for the same reason as Allen, to save him from bodily injury, as the Melrose team threatened to get both after the game. Riddle again took his place at right end. A forward pass to Riddle failed and he was severely hurt, leaving the game. Melrose again scored, but to the team, to the Lincoln, who ran the ball back, only to lose it when Melrose intercepted a forward pass. On an attempted forward Primus reached up and grabbed the ball on the ten-yard line and ran it back to the visitors' forty-yard line. Again the Melrose team pushed the ball down to the twenty-yard line and an attempt at drop kick failed. Lincoln put ball in play on twenty-yard line, field for the ball and fumbled. Ball went to Melrose. A forward pass, and Melrose kicked, Lincoln pushed the ball down the field but lost it again on downs, just twenty yards from goal. Melrose failed to gain and Lincoln again got the ball. A forward pass hit the ground just inside the goal line, but Melrose claimed it went over, and here the game broke up. The referee was running, and the referee the ball didn't go over. Referee didn't know ruling and subs made for off the field. Langston was forced to weaken his team by sending stars out to keep them Dunbars vs. Lincoln. Dubbars vs. Lincoln. The Dubbars will play the Lincoln's Sunday, backgrounds. The Lincoln's 'lineup' will be Allen, Proctor, Portlock, Reeves, Ellison at halves; Langston, full; Wilson at quarter. The line from left to right will be Primus, Pearman, Maxwell, Vaughn, Ross, Overton or Johnson, Riddle, Dade, Bunn, Graham and several others will be ready to enter fray needed. The Dubbars will have Layne, Freeman and he shall be flat, Nap Bluetid at quarter. The line from left to right will be McGee, Baston, Taylor, Canal, Miller, Dixon, Brown. Their subs are Booker, V. Bluetid, Brown, Smith, Fisher and Williams. Determined to get revenge for falling to win last Thanksgiving, the Dubbars are coming over with plenty of followers and will be able to tie a tie and that the championship shall not rest on the South Side with their rivals. And the Lincolns are just as confident; although they respect the prowess of the Bluetid brothers, they will make a game stand to hold the honors over here, where they belong. Although Lane was defeated Saturday, Bluetid starred, carrying the ball over the within scoring distance the Lane quarter pulled a boner and their chance went glimmering. TACOMA, WASH By Ray Gibson.

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 A very large audience was present on last Sunday morning to listen to the first sermon of the noted evangelist who is conducting a series of revival meetings at Quinn Chapel Church. She selected her text from Jeremiah, 18th chapter, 2d ver., "Arise, go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words." The subject was handled very intelligently and the audience was held spell-bound for three quarters of an hour. Mrs. Evans is indeed a powerful speaker. Let no one miss the opportunity of hearing her. Those who heard her preach the evening sermon thought it even better than the one in the morning. The Sunday school met promptly at 2 p.m., every class was well represented as it was Sunday school rally day.

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!"

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.

Famous whispering galleries are those in the capitol of Washington and in Gloucester cathedral, England.

Lally, the former president of the Lally Realty Co., was the first of the three members to receive the Zion Church on December 7th a success. Mrs. Williams said in part: "The subject of woman suffrage was not the subject of the Lally Realty Co., and sneered at, and many women limidly turned away from it as something unworthy of their womanhood. But, thanks to the greatness of woman's suffrage, 'It is now the biggest question in the public mind today.' The colored women as citizens have been the leaders of the Lally Realty Co., who they are, what they have done for themselves and even what they deserve has not been an interest to the average people. The Lally Realty Co. is the third to hear the hardens of suspicion, mistrust and race hatred. Not even the Christian religion of love and mercy has been strong enough to make it a public fact. The众 who are the prejudices, for you know it is savage sentiment that makes the worth of heart and mind and character depend on the various shadows of human complexion.

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.

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. A number of times later, on calling to see the dog, he said, "What would the dog could do. He said: 'Oh, he waggle his tail and things'—Ex change.

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.

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. What's the Verdict? "The breach of promise suit is the original first aid to the injured," observes the Lewiston Tribune. The "original package" must be the one handed the defendant—Idaho Statesman. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Honestly, what do you think of it? To put it mildly, queer performance, don't you think? The above, the first article, was printed on the first page of "World's Greatest Newspaper," while this retraction, this virtual apology for the wrong done an innocent colored man, was buried almost out of sight on the fifth page of the issue. Sleuth and Husband Source. The facts on when the story was based were not the first of the City News Bureau's Detective Barry and the husband of the woman who alleged she was attacked gave the story to the City Press Bureau. Barry is responsible for that part of the story which stated that the Negro started to escape and was prevented by the determining of his revolver and threatening the Negro. Stehman told the City News Bureau reporter that his wife had been attacked and robbed. Erbine has investigated the story, and the story of Stehman and Barry cannot be substantiated entirely. Found by Earl Waters. Earl Walters of 415 Clifton Avenue found Mrs. Stehman walking on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul tracks near the भेदन सालरहत 11:50 Wednesdays, the night before he was the story he told about finding. "I was on my way home and saw a woman walking along the railroad tracks, and I was in a state of fear, and I seemed as if she was in a stupidly and seemed as if no condition to be walking on the railroad track alone. A train might hit her. I asked her if I might help her. At first, I was not sure, but I felt her. Soon, however, she asked me if I could help her, get her diamonds, which some Negro had stolen." "Asked her where she lived, and she told me the somewhere on Beacon Street. She judged me to the resolution that she's going to be a street-work street, and I took her to the door and rang the bell. A man who said he was Dr. Schuerman came to the door and took the woman in. Then I notified the police." Here Is Negro's Story. A waiter in a restaurant near the DeLuxe Theater said that a woman answered her request. Stelhaus description had purchased it. She had a restaurant about 10 o'clock Wednesday night. The negro, Gatewood, was a trusted employ of the DeLuxe Theater. He is left alone for a while at night to guard the receipts which her house is kept in. He has been the bank close. His story, which has been substantiated as far as possible, follows: A woman appeared at the rear of the theater about 10 o'clock, maybe a little later, and started on to the stage. I stopped her and asked her what she wanted. She said she was sick and wanted a place to lie down. I told her there was a place to lie down. I told her there was a place to lie down. I then told her that the only place that I knew was my room upstairs in the back of the theater. She went up there. Soon I heard walking around and making a lot of noise. "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.

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.

The State of Illinois is free from "Jim Crow" law and that the color of the skin makes a point of American citizens or in fact citizens, beat this was the supposition but it is only the actual treatment of the Afro-Americans at Springfield are just and fair to everyone necessary for us to take recourse to the laws. Those who disregard the law know thatimate they are violating the law and lives, yet they will constantly take the case so unless we make an example of each to expense and trouble in so doing. Ieman and his wife entered a moving picture by the usher to seats in the rows we USE—some of these theater managers are there.

These people were not rough or no people and their intention is to see the things must be stopped, nothing must protest. We sure first you are within your thing honorable to gain your point. Too many injustices simply because we disliked the expenditure of a little time and money. Living is worth fighting for and the foremost rights. IT 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 Illinois is free from "Jim Crow" laws, that equal rights prevail and that the color of the skin makes no difference in the treatment of American citizens or in fact citizens of any country. 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 Springfield 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 each offender, even if we are put to expense and trouble in so doing. Recently in Urbana a gentleman and his wife entered a moving picture house, they were piloted by the usher to seats in the rows which were "reserved" for US—some of these theater managers are so thoughtful "Gerry" line. The manager protested and informed the two at they would have to return to their former seats, and explained that they had bought tickets on the back of which was printed "subject to conditions." Upon their refusing to leave the chief of police was called into service and succeeded in having them leave. They commanded the officer to place 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 release is a question, unless it be because the offenders intimated to him that they were backed by an organization—emanating the N. A. A. C. P—whose purpose was to secure 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 be let go by without a protest. He 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 instance, the Indianapolis Star says: "Any member of the race who votes the Democratic or Republican ticket, at once lays him open to the suspicion of having done so for mercenary and corrupt motives. It 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. It is 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 himself, 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 is perfectly plain that the Bull 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 full fellowship. Abraham Lincoln once said the American republic 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 desires become a full fledged member of an organization 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 people 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 respect, 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. A TIME THE "OLD LINE" POLITIC ne still having over the Afro-American Indianapolis Star says: "Any member of the Democratic or Republican ticket, at the suspicion of his own do for mer- cies.

What d editor of the New Orleans States calls the spokesmen, including the big Colonel sons, are bidding for the Southern vote with twill be lily white and free from the tain- tle the Republican party intolerable.

How much of this we paid and how much of this we promised to pay but didn't is too well known to need comment 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 conscience or a year would not have rolled around and found their obligation still unmet. To-day while the institution is not in financial straightts, to maintain its high standard and to carry the work on effectively 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 Y. M. C.

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 crowds increased until State street and Thirty-fifth street was simply a seething mass of humanity, all bent on having what they termed a good time, and such a time it was. Women caring little about their appearance, dressed in the most outlandish fashion, smoked cigarettes on the streets, entered the buffets and drank at the bar. They noisy but fortunately not vulgar in their speech, 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 children—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?

The good citizens will see to it that never again will such disgraceful performances be witnessed on our streets, as a special force of policemen will be detailed for that purpose. It is all right to celebrate Hallowe'en if in so celebrating the rights of others are not trampled upon, but who can tell what an ignorant man or woman 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 secretary of the Equal Rights Society in discussing Europe, and what it has done for the colored man forgot to mention that she gave the colored man equal rights, if they were or were not citizens, while America does not. He forgot to say that America has given the Negro hastards and made him crave for them, while Europe legalizes his children born of white mothers or fathers 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 black woman and has honored her offspring, both from the mixed, as Dumas, and from the black, as Peter Jackson. Europe has and is still giving us black generals in her armies and commissioned officers in her navy. Would to God America would get her eyes open at least.

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 cry of a progressive race is simple JUSTICE. But as we run it is refreshing to read the truth by the wayside. Here is the opinion of two men probably unknown to each other: HARRISON RHODES, Author of "The Gentleman From Miss�slpi," "The foundations were laid by black labor, and in black devotion to the black race, the only city of the United States," It is one of the mostہم‌ نویں صدی میں مذکورہ خلیفینو نگین باتھی اور تھی۔ Afro-American can ever be raised.

THE AUGUSTA, GA, CHRONICLE says the Afro-Americans of the South are being punished by the Republican party because as delegates to the convention held in this city in 1912 they stuck to their instructions and were loyal to their constituents. Looking back over the situation we are very thankful that we had representatives strong enough to withstand the temptations to flop. The eyes of the whole country were on us and a step the wrong way would have meant that we would forever be eliminated from not only the Republican party but from all parties. As it is we stood the test and came out with flying colors, thus driving home the lie that we can be bought at a price. GEORGE W. WOODBY has the distinction of being the first race man to run for state office in California. He was slated on the Socialistic ticket for state treasurer. Whenever there is the slightest opportunity we should put a man in the field and work tooth and nail for his election; should he fail, our gain more than compensates for our loss. If we are to be as we claim, a factor in everything American, we cannot afford to sit idly and see the plums picked constantly by the other fellow while our mouths are watering.

We are quite sure other roads in America could do the same if they were permitted 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 floors 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, Washington, 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 it is 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. WELL, THE RETURNS SHOW THAT WE WERE IN THE RUNNING ANYHOW. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Oct. 24.-Defender's Legal Helps: I leased a flat for one year, but only lived in same for six months, and moved out to another place. I wish to know if I am responsible for the rent for the entire year, although I did not occupy the house for the full term. Answer: -As a general rule one is liable for the entire term of a lease, whether they occupy the premises or leave the same, unless the occupant is wrongly evicted by the landlord. Arrest Without a Warrant. Oct. 26—Defender's Legal Helps:—Has a police man or other officer the right to arrest a citizen without a warrant? Answer:—Yes, under two conditions. First, when such officer witnesses a citizen actually in the commission of an offense; second, when a citizen has actually committed an offense and is about to renew it. But this arresting on suspicion without a warrant is illegal, and some steps must be taken to stop the practice of arresting people who are the arresting of people and putting fictitious charges against them and holding them in prison while trying to make a case against them is contrary to law and should not be tolerated by free people. Persons who have been arrested without warrant on suspicion and then turned loose on suspicion and then investigation should sue everyone connected with such arrest, would put a stop to this unfair practice. Must Support Children. Oct. 31.--Defender's Legal Helps:--Four years ago I obtained a divorce from my husband and it provided for alimony, but he has not paid anything as alimony, yet he is worth sufficient money and property. I have two children, and he is not married to him. Is there any way I can make him help support them, as he is here in the same town and the children need his support? Answer:--Yes. You should have an attorney to bring him before the court granting the decree of divorce, and he should obey the decree or sent to jail. Or he may be arrested for contributing to the dependency of children in the Court of Domestic Relations, and he will be compelled to contribute a certain amount each week for their support, suggest that you consult some relational counsel, and assist you in compelling your children's father to help support them. THE BLUE GRASS STATE Home of Beautiful Women, Fast Horses and Fine Spirits Brought Into the Limelight. By Hardin Tolbert. Frankfort, Ky. (Special), Nov. 6.—Hon. J. L. Gordon of Bowling Green, Ky., of the beautiful city of the western part of the state, Grand Master of the United Order of Odd Fellows of Kentucky, was a guest of the city in the interest of his daughter at the State Normal school. Mr. Gordon is the great man, one who has yielded a great man, one who cohorts of when he has come in contact with, with that Christian and business influence. He is visiting lodges in the eastern part of the state, Mr. Gordon, while here, sojourned among his many friends and spent the few hours profitfully visiting the historical places of the capital, while here the capital is a gld welcome to the prominent leader to drop in most any time. He brought good news of the Bowling Green High School that they were having a successful school under the management of the former Frankfort educator, of which we were glad to hear. *The Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute trouble culminated the Frankfort Star for criticizing the State Board of Education. The writer criticized the president of the dormitory, for driving out of the girls' dormitory Miss Willie Mae Toren, a student of the senior class, and her arrested because she made a speech in the chapel, with the presi tion against President, and signed a petition against President, and was the leader of the opposition. Miss Vera Metcalfe of Hopkinsville was driven out of the dormitory because she would not sign a petition to sustain President Russell. The students marched to the capital where they were received by the Governor. The editor criticized the Board and Russell in the "Star." **** The Bowling Green School was one of the strongest football teams in Kentucky and will challenge State University for a game Thanksgiving day. A large delegation is expected from the western part of the state to witness this game. FROM OUR EXCHANGES Now that the first shock of the terrible European war is passing, the commercial benefit to our neutral country is being evidenced by the almost unlimited orders received here for supplies of food of all kinds that bear exportation, and it cannot help us to lose lots of work for many people. We need everything to a great crop and increase in our business, if we will only avail ourselves of it. Sometimes weather and local conditions retard business, but in the main there is no reason why we should not have a large amount of the war does cut off a certain amount of trade. Certain business interests always have a "hooler coming", and aided by the politicians who are out, they make the most of it; but there is little occasion for it now. The late measures simply weeded out the undeserved poverty and really was a good thing for the country, and what we need now is "boosting," not "knocking."—Ex. The Colored "Patriots" and the News papers. How few colored people who comprehend the mission of the colored newspaper! And how less the number that understand its position. To the average colored person the colored newspaper is simply a most convenient medium through which his everlasting pride and egotism may be puffed up and perhaps his own opinion himself handed down to the masses of him and care far less. These people individually or in organizations, seek more or less gratuitous. Recognizing the value of the colored newspapers, they come to them to advertise their business or "affairs," but many are not willing to pay for the service given. They would have their advertisements and puffs-personal and otherwise—travel, through the paper's medium, into the portals of their business home. But they are not willing to pay the privilege. The newspaper has spent thousands of dollars building up a circulation, but these "patriotic" parasites would have it given them gratis. They are not quite fools enough to entertain any false notices as to the advertising potency of the throwaway, the poster, the circular or the circular letter. But, fully recognizing the value of the colored newspaper, they yet are not willing to pay more for it, or that is what newspaper advertising—they would have to spend on almost useless and certainly wasteful and obsolete forms of advertising. Is this because the colored newspaper is the most potent defender of the colored cause and patronizing it honestly would be supporting the most effective weapon in the hands of the colored race in its fight against Caucasian injustice and murderous discrimination? These are white men's reasons, and it possible that they and others in the incompressible actions of SOME of our colored "patriots"? As a weapon for defense and for the dissemination of the truth about the colored race and the retutation of the all too frequent and injurious lies against the race, the colored newspaper deserves the heartfelt support in VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS to the members of the race. IT IS THE DIVISION OF THE CITIZEN LABORING UNDER INJUSTICE IN THIS COUNTRY TO RALLY ABOUT THE COLORED PRESS AND SUPPORT IT, IF NEED BE, BY CONTRIBUTIONS. But is the colored press whining and begging for this—its right? No, indeed; all it asks is fair and honest treatment. For battling day and night, for challenging and affording lies, it simply asks a surrender and honors the race it defends and, yea, protects! But how often does it get this? How many are there who are willing to support it even by subscription in exchange for the news it gives, or by advertisements in exchange for the circulation it carries? How many are willing to give a fair deal in principle and not alone in theory? In fact, what they GET in NEWS AND ADVERTISEMENTS?—The Amsterdam News. SOLDIERS ATTENTION! SOLDIERS, ATTENTION! This is not a call to arms, but one for assistance. Sergeant Frank Martin served 19 years in the army and four days after his discharge he lost his left arm. He was a member of Troop C, Ninth U. S. Cavalry, also wounded in the right leg at Jauhn Hill. He has applied for a pension but as yet has received none, and therefore asks assistance. He is now raising funds to enable him to purchase a limb. Any officer, soldier or ex-soldier willing to assist him can do so through Mr. Emmett Donnelly, 703 Federal Building, Chicago, Ill.

Taking the Cure—How to Take the Cure—"The Journal of Outdoor Life," published by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, has a fine article by Dr. Edward Cummings on "When to Take the Cure, and Why." I would advise the readers of this column to send 10 letters to the Journal of Outdoor Life, no November, or for that matter, send $1.40 for one year's subscription to the Journal to 239 4th avenue, New York, N.

For the benefit of those who may not be so fortunate as to possess a phone, we are taking the privilege of quoting at length from it, for the benefit of our readers. Neglected Cases. It is our experience that in the course of nearly every neglected, and untreated case of consumption, there surely comes a time when the poor victim grows thinner, weaker, and must give up his work, exclude himself from friends—a time when he can be work, not wait upon himself—a time when he can neither be bored nor die. This helpless and hopeless time is usually quite long and burdensome. Why not be sensible and face your condition like a strong man or woman? Begin early—put in the time when you are sick, not wait the cure. If you do this you can easily conquer the disease and get entirely well. If you delay, if you try to illusionise yourself into the belief that it is just a "little cold," "in gripe," "walking typhoid," "stomach complaint," run-down condition, "nervous breakdown," "liver trouble," "heart failure," "your opportunity of ever being stored to health. You will become a burden to yourself, to your friends, and possibly to the county and state, or reach that condition when you can neither die nor be cured. Know That You Have Tuberculosis. If you have tuberculosis, or the beginning of it, you ought to know it before it floats down, and down on towards the rails, who can only be aroused to his danger by loud cries. You must know that you have the disease and believe and know that there is a successful method of treating the disease which is followed by physicians of the best repute the world over. Do not go and find out your exact condition. People with tuberculosis are largely like children with diphtheria or scarlet fever; the child cannot understand how important it is for the doctor to look down its throat for examination; the child realizes that it is not important and can be hurting his throat when he examines it. It is also true of a grown-up child (man or woman), they fear that the physician will make an examination and tell the true condition. The plaint fact of the matter is that he or she, who has tuberculosis, does not want to know it, because the truth is that he or she is not aware that the examination of a child's throat is painful for the time being. The individual should disillusionize himself and at once face his true condition. If your health is not good and you do not know what is the matter and you have any of the symptoms that would direct any sort of suspicion to your lungs, be it remembered that tuberculosis is the commonest of all diseases and that when taken in time is curable. If you take chances, you will lose the golden time; you should go to the best doctor you can find for a careful and repeated examination. Do not take up your time with advertised "cures" by mail. The diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis is a speciality and not every physician practicing can do this work; neither can every physician treat the disease or throat successfully, neither can every physician operate for appendicitis, gall stones or bladder stones successfully. Go to the physician who stands well among his fellow physicians—the real physician is the best judge of the competency of another physician. Tell the physician the truth as near as you can and give him all the assistance you can in finding out the true condition of your case. Give him what the physician may have to make several decisions, and if he finds that you have the Dr. A.

If your house is on fire, would you not be lucky and thankful to any one who would inform you at the begin- ning of the blaze—while small and easily put out? The people must know and believe that concomitance can be prevented and if taken early can be cured under favorable conditions and a reasonable period of time. "Chasing the Cure." If you have tuberculosis the proper thing to do is to undertake treatment immediately after one day delay. Bear in mind that cure cannot be effected by the use of drugs alone. Drugs are most important to depend wholly upon medicine. If you do, you lose your chance. The santirium is the ideal method for treatment, but we all cannot avail ourselves of the santirium treatment. "Taking the cure" means living for a certain length of time under the guidance of an expert on tuberculosis, during which time you are to live according to certain very special rules which govern your life and habits—your eating and drinking habits—your resting and exercising habits—your sleeping and working habits—your diet and clothing—you are to live a life of rest in the fresh air. You are given a course of medical treatment by the doctor who will carefully observe the doctor and special and make a constant and special case. Fresh air is only an important factor. It is the same as medicine, food and rest and guidance—all important factors. You may be treated successfully at home if you will follow his instructions to the letter. One must have special training to enable him to gude the tuberculosis patient along the difficult path to health. One thing you very certainly must do the physician who contains information about the exact cause of "Cod Liver Oil." "Cough Syringa," "Crescote and Tar" mixtures with a few indifferent, or hazy words of advice about taking raw eggs, and milk, and all the outdoor air, and exercise that you can—will prove a very little help to you, in fact, may prove a great harm. You must cooperate with the doctor, who must go into every detail of the treatment and understand the exact and particular things that you must do and those things you must know and not do. It takes courage and a great deal of will power to take the cure. NEW BANK BUILDING FOR SAVANNAH, GA.

Improvement on the Saw The efficiency of the saw has been greatly increased by the recent invention of a Frenchman. 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 that six times as long, and they that eight times as long, cut either wood or metal and are made in a great variety of shapes and styles. Somewhat Misunderstood in announcing that a certain Connecticut town intended to increase its water supply the local weekly contained the information that it would "build a watershed covering 50 acres." One of the town officials, a building contractor, who naturally favored the "shed," was severely criticized by a fellow townman thusly: "TW will be a tarnation shame, by heck, of Ezekiel Billi's gets the job of puttin' a shed over 50 acres of water. I'm 'ng it, it tooth an' nail. Zeke's got sufficient outen the town already."
