URGENT NEED FOR A FEW POLICE WOMEN Have the women who successfully passed the required examinations given up the fight for appointment on the Chicago police force? Every day sees greater need for several shrew Afro-American women to check vice and crime in places that-male officers. Then the approach of the holiday season crowds in stores and places of amusement would give these minions of the law plenty to do. Keep up the fight. We hope the ladies have not given up the fight to get on the police force. Keep on fighting for place.

Pope-Turnbo Malone, Founder and Owner; Prof. A. E. Malone, Power of Attorney. VOL. IX, NO. 48. It was pleasing to the members of the race to see the ministers of the white race take a stand against President Wilson on race segregation at its regular meeting Monday. They expressed the thought of the right thinking people of the country. The ministers took the stand that segregation practiced is wrong in principle because it is unfair to abuse one class of public employees, who have as much right as the others. They regarded it as unChristian, unpatriotic and unAmerican. The resolution was submitted to the meeting by the committee on public policy and was passed unanimously. The resolution on the race question read: "Whereas, we believe class or race discrimination tends to produce discord, jealousies and bitterness; and "Whereas, the national government should promote harmony and peace and inspire the greatest loyalty of each member of the body politic without discrimination against non preference for any race or class." ```markdown ``` "Whereas, in every call for the nation's defense, the colored soldier has responded promptly and most courageously, that the Metropolitan resolved that the Metropolitan preachers' meeting of Chicago hereby express its profound regrets that Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, has indorsed the separation of the races in the government employ at Washington, D. C. We regard the handicaps that the Nation has suffered as sufficiently embarrassing without the influence of the nation's President being recorded."

Friends of Mrs. Ella Flugg Young, superintendent of schools, have been praising her this week in the daily newspapers for the many improvements she has made since she has been in office. Enumerated they embrace a long list benefiting both teachers and pupils, many of them being in the forms.

SOUTHERN WHITE MAN PLEADS FOR RACE Joseph C. Manning of Alabama Tells Race to Aid National Independent Equal Rights League. (Special to the Chicago Defender) New York, Nov. 27.—Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Independent Equal Rights league, has given out the following letter for publication: Crawford House, Boston, Mass., Nov. 21, 1914. Rev. Byron Gunner, President National Independent Equal Rights League, Hillburn, N. Y. Dear Rev. Gunner: If ever before there was needed any demonstration of the effectiveness of an organization of, for and by colored people, in their own behalf, this has been shown by the league you have the honor to head as president. Your organization has been successful and forced the issue and has provoked who would be free must first strike the blow." Surely now that the fighting ability of your league is shown, there will be a disposition on the part of all colored people to turn their support to it as the means to the end of the achievement of their rights. I hope that every possible support will be given to the end that the league and Trotters and an man will be backed up for that continued achievement which the recent events show you can bring to pass. Mr. Manning is well known in Chicago, having addressed large audiences upon the injustice of race prejudice. Chicago Defender readers and others are urged to contribute to the support of the league in its fight for justice. If money were as easy to make as it is to spend what a delightful world this would be to live in, but unfortunately this condition does not exist. Many of us, however, do not realize it money is when late. The time to save money is when you are invariably there will come that promised rainy day when you will be in dire need of it. Chicagoans have learned the lesson well, as is evidenced by the great number of homes owned by them, and yet it is all practically of recent origin. Fifteen or years ago the colored people owned a house in the city, but today we number them by the hundreds, and all of this came about through the easy system of payments, and yet it is to be wondered why so many continue to pay high rentals when this money can be applied on a home. It is much better to take time by the forelock and start working. The firm of Fred's h. Bartlett & Co. have a plan whereby you can make your rent money buy you a home.

Shreveport, La., Nov. 27—In a courtroom in the Federal building a railroad detective was testifying and referred to one of the defendants in the case and called him a Negro. Judge Alex Boarman of the federal court interrupted and had him to understand that he was not to use the word Negro that the culprit was an American citizen. The defendant was charged with interstate freight theft. S. A. T. WATKINS HAS CASE IN UNITED STATES APPELLATE COURT Attorney S. A. T.

DAVID ITCHOCH "BLACK RABBI" IS AN IMPOSTER DAVID ITCHOCH "BLACK RABBI" IS AN IMPOSTER Talented Young Man, Speaking (Many Languages, Claiming to Be a Jew, Fools Newspapers, Rabbis and Influential People of That Race. TELLS TRUTH IN COURT. Clever Adventurer, Accused by 14-Year-Old Girl of a Serious Charge, Reveals Origin—is Plain, Everyday Son of the South. Frederick Douglass Berger, who spoke fluently twenty-two languages, and posed as "Prof. David Ickhock," will serve a term in the penitentiary for criminal insult on Clara Merriwether, 14 years old, 4059 South Federal street. The girl has a child which resembles the imposter. In the summer of 1913 he came to the Defender office, and in good faith we wrote a story about him. The reporter asked for his passports, but he said they were in his trunks, which were delayed. He left from his haunts—232 and Dearborn—and nothing was heard of him until his criminality upon the young girl. He was clever with his knowledge of foreign languages and successfully fooled Mr. Julius Rosenwald and many of the Jewish faith. Learned Languages in Mines. "I learned the languages working in the coal mines in Iowa," said Berger. "I worked with foreigners, studying and learning their speech, idioms, ways and actions." I studied the customs of foreign land and peoples in both the United States and all came to me like music. I read in the Chicago papers about the Black Hand bombs in 1901 and came to Chicago to try to get a job on the detective force. I wanted to get at the bottom of the Black Hand feuds. I learned to speak Italian, Spanish and French with that in view. I was refused a job because I am black. "So I gave that up and for the last few years I went to Jews on the West Side. I wanted to learn Hebrew. I wanted to find a girl for a wife, one that was dark, and could teach me Hebrew. I found her in the Merrywether girl, but I was too hasty. Not Born in Palestine. "My parents were not born in Palestine, as I said. They were born in the South and moved to Buxton, Ia. Their names are John Thomas Berger, and Mrs. Susan Berger, and they live at 1822 Elm street in Des Moines. At one time I was sent to the reform school at Eldora, Ia. My stories about the school are not known. And the parents are false. For a time I was associated with Rabbi Horace, born in the South, who has an Afro-American congregation and worships in the Jewish faith, although he does not know the Hebrew language." Berger was arrested last year and his case dragged from one court to another. He was convicted of Judge McDonald, who suspected the man was an impostor, and had his stories investigated, Berger's confession followed. It is to be regretted he was not given the detective force, as it might have been better to him out of trouble. He is a lesson to young men who live on their wits and have no moral stamina. While in the penitentiary he hopes, however, to enter three more languages, then he will to the head of the class as a linguist. According to a Chicago daily newspaper the U. S. government is planning to capture Champion Jack Johnson if he tries to fight Jess Willard in Juarez, or if he tries to pull off a fight in Cuba. Previous experience has taught the friends of the champion not to worry about him, and the talk about his not being in condition to fight has been heard before. REV. W. S. BRADDEN PREACHES TO BOY SCOUTS Chaplain of 8th Regiment I. N. G. Speaker at Literary Meeting—News and Gossip Among the Scouts. Capt. William S. Bradden, chaplain of the 8th Regiment, I. N. G., made an excellent oration Sunday, Nov. 22d, at Bethel church to the Chicago Guards, and Boy Scouts, assembled to take part in the Bethel's Literary society's program, at which the honorable sheriff of Cook county, Michael Zimmer, was present, and also delivered an able address.

The following changes have been made in the personnel of the general staff of the Chicago Guards and the United States Boy Scouts. Major W. H. Fields as chief organizer has been dismissed, and the vacancy is to be filled by the general manager J. Warfield, a member of the 8th regiment.

SATURDAY SOUTH IN SADDLE WITHMOREPOWER AFTER MARCH 4 Responsibility, for House Action to Rest on Its Shoulders—A Glimpse into Things Along Political Lines — Future of Democratic Party in Balance CONTROL HURTS RACE. Southern States, with Democrats from Oklahoma and Missouri, Will Control Actual Majority at Next Session — Also Strongly Represented in Cabinet and Senate. (Special to the Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., Nov. 27—Responsibility for legislation in the house during the concluding two years of the present administration will fall directly upon the South. It is common comment that the South is in the sad dilemma of becoming more clearly true after March 14 with the reduction of the Democratic membership of the house. At present Democrats from twelve southern states represent one-third of the Democratic strength in the house. After March 4 next these twelve states, with the Democratic members from Oklahoma and Missouri, will constitute an actual majority of the Democratic strength in the house. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia have 103 members in the house, all of whom, excepting three Republicans, are Democrats. Strong in Cabinet and Senate. This group, with the strong southern representation in the cabinet and the senate, has been powerful enough largely to dominate the house committees and to control up to a certain point legislation in the house. A large degree of responsibility for the record of the past two years is theirs, but after March 4 the responsibility will increase to a marked extent. Thereafter the South will have the power of an actual majority, with aid from Columbia and Missouri, as well as the politician in the incident to the cohesion of a large group of members and their sensibility. This southern control of the lower branch of congress is viewed with alarm by race leaders and friends of the race. The several vital issues pending before the United States supreme court, the reawakened antipathy in some sections of the South over the Trotter incident causes many to consider the increased Democratic Lieutenant B. O. Davis of the Ninth United States Cavalry, which is doing such efficient and heroic guard duty along the Mexican border, is visiting Chicago this week. The gallant solider S. R. Gwynen, 343rd Division-brother-in-law, S. R. Gwynen, 343rd Division-brother-in-law, Lieutenant Davis was the first man to attain that position from the ranks. NINTH CAVALRYMAN BETHEL CHURCH'S NEW PARSONAGE Progressive A. M. E. Congregation Defenders' Advice and Reduces Running Expenses by the Acquisition of Home for Pastor. The announcement that Rev. T. A. Snayt, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, will move into the recently purposed Monday or Tuesday will be hailed with much in church circles. Long ago the Chicago Defender called attention to the need of more progressive business methods in the churches and the acquisition of a permanent home for its pastor by this progressive congregation, made up in the main by hard-working people is a step in the right direction. The enormous running expenses have always been a burden to the city churches and their shelters is welcomed by their ardent supporters. Bethel's progressive ideas should be emulated by every other church in Chicago. JEERS AT MENTION OF WILSON DENIED Promoters of Mass Meeting Following Segregation Protest Issue Statement Dining Published Reports. (Special to the Chicago Defender) Washington, D.

"Sir: Having read in a morning paper published in this city that the gathering yesterday at Seco- one, and that the mention of the President's name brought forth jeers and hisses from the audience, the officers in charge of the meeting wish to state that there was not a word uttered from the audience in derision of the Presi- den; no hissing nor jeering. It was, indeed, properly gathering. Had there been the least thing said disrespectful of the Presi- den, we, in charge of the meeting, would not have tolerated it for a moment. The party offending would have been ejected from the church at once. Thomas Walker, chairman of meeting; W. Bishop Johnson, pastor, Second Baptist Mt. Murice W. Spencer, E. M. Mifflin-Jett. Protest Segregation. A resolution protecting against segregation was given the form of a statement to the American people at the meeting. The speakers were W. M.

SOMEBODY LIED ON SECRETARY OF TREASURY McADOO Committee Protesting Against Segregation Names President's Son-in-Law Chief Offender, Bearing Out Chicago Defender's Prediction. WHO'S THE FALSIFIER? Extract from Old Issue as Gentle Reminder That The Chicago Defender Has a Right to Say, "I Told You So." As far back as October, 1913, The Chicago Defender foretold the racehating proclivities of Mr. McAdoo (white), Secretary of the Treasury and son-in-law to the President. Readers of The Defender will recall our severe denunciation of J. C. Napter, then Register of the Treasury, who attempted to uphold the actions of his superior, Mr. McAdoo, and President Wilson's other cabinet officials. Lest They Forget. Lest some would forget, we reprint an extract from a letter from Mr. Napier and published in the issue of Saturday, November 13, 1913: "I desire further to say that I think that you are entirely in error in your attitude of the attitude of the Honorable, Secretary of State, Mr. McAdoo, in regard to the colony people. In conference with this gentleman he has repeatedly stated to me in the most respectful and considerate terms that it was his earre"sire it do the very best he co-operates with the people of his wah under any" "summarizes to do anything that would humiliate or depress them." --- In its last issue The Chicago Defender published the following; teacher published the following: The delegation charged that Secretary Adeo and Comptroller Williams in the U.S. court overstaff General Burleson had endorsedigation rules in their offices. The President replied that he had investigated the question and had been assured there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings given to the Afro-American workers. He added he had been informed by officiating the segregation had been started to occur on the races and not with the object of Injuring the Afro-American employees. ```markdown ``` The Chicago Defender is again proven right. It is not the idea of the paper to gloat over a serious matter like this, but the occasion is opportunistic. The Defender right for equal rights the Defender generally knows what it is talking about.

CHEER AND HELP CHICAGO'S POOR ON CHRISTMAS DAY This Is the Time the Good Fellow and the Good Woman and Club Worker Should Come Forward to Show Their Interest in the Poor and Unfortunate Little Folks. Join the Chicago Defender and Help Create a Spirit of Charity—Help the Wildows, Orphans and Poor-Ministers' Preach It—Clubs, Practice It—Make Xmas Happy for the Little Folks. By Cary B. Lewis. Another year has rolled around and Christmas is upon us, or right next door. Last year THE CHICAGO DEFENDER started a campaign to help the poor, the widows and orphans. It aimed to create a spirit of charity for the needy of the race. Last year THE DEFENDER remembered to remember the sick at Providence the girls at the Phyllis Wheatley Home, the ladies at the Old Folks' Home, those at the Soldiers' Rest, and this was done with a spirit that brought forth blessings from the recipients. There is more happiness in giving than receiving, and above the Christmas carol should ring the altruistic gift enunciated by the Master: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The Children of Plenty. Thousands of children in this city will spend a merry Christmas day and will awake on Xmas morning to see their trees loaded with toys, shoes, stockings, sleighs, coats, dresses and many other valuable gifts to make them happy. Not only are their parents able to do for them, but friends and family will also take these little folks and further increase the gift by gifts from at home and abroad. What of the Poor? What of the poor? Just a few blocks away there will be a family who will not know of Santa Claus—whose parents, by misfortune, are poor. They have a widowed mother and several mouths to feed, coal and fuel to buy. They will not have a Christmas tree, not even a piece of candy or turkey or mince pie. The question is, will you not join THE DEFENDER in helping a spirit in the bosom of every good man? Or will you help obliterate members to help the unfortunate this day of days? Can you forget the warning of the Master: "Except you become as a child, you shall no wise enter the kingdom of heaven?" The Defender's Appeal THE DEFENDER appeals to the citizens of Chicago to be more generous to the poor children this year than they were last year. When you make your Xmas purchases remember some poor relative or less fortunate Miss Lela Stubbs, a graduate nurse of Provident hospital and a well-known social worker, will work in conjunction with THE DEFENDER and will be prepared to furnish names and addresses of those in need for those who feel disposed to help. Money or clothes of any kind will be received at THE DEFENDER office or Provident hospital, the headquarters of Miss Stubbs. Let the Clubs Help. Every week THE DEFENDER will publish these names of the clubs or individuals who will be a GOOD FELLOW between now and the holidays. This paper, which publishes weekly free of charge items of interest of the social clubs, calls upon them to help. At your next meeting won't the following club members enrich themselves in spirit and receive the real benefits that comes from being charitable. In addition, Twenty, Autumn Leaf, Book Lovers, Rosary Social, Ideal Women's Bethel Literary, Standard Literary, Appomattox, Billiken Whist, Fred Douglass Center, Philomathen, Progressive Negro League, Eureka Art, Saturday Afternoon, Sigma Beta, Tuskegee Colonial, University, Wars, and Means, Poinsettia, Men's Civic, Negro Fellowships, Volunteers, and others who do not report to the club column?

A lively campaign is waging in the second ward in the interest of Attorney Louis B. Anderson, and it is making tremendous strides daily. While his opponent, Oscar De Priest is interesting himself with persons who pretend to be able to carry the Afro-American vote in their vest pocket, Mr. Anderson is going among the people and they are rallying to his cause with a mighty swing. Between receptions and banquets given by Mr. De Priest to the selected few, he has been busy enlisting to enlist the so-called "high brow" group that has 3,700 pledges, from all parts of the country. The appointment of Afro-American precinct committeemen under the new law are appointed by ward committeemen have been held up by Congressman Madden as a club to force them Attorney Louis B. Anderson, the People's Choice for alderman of the Second Ward. to get in line for De Priest. It is safe to say that after these appointments are made the real expression of the committee will be made. Some do not insist to say they will be for Mr. Anderson. It is expected the situation will be clarified and all elec- tions and factions will be for Mr. Anderson. Many of the women of the east and west end of the ward are rallying to the support of Mr. Anderson, as they favor an honorable, upright and courageous race man to represent them in the aldermanic chambers, one who will acquit himself with dignity and credit, both to himself and the race he represents. They are working like men, and have already inaugurated a movement in the organization of "Block Clubs" in the interest of his candidacy. Women, join the clubs, he is in the fight to win; give him your moral support. SECURE YOUR CHRIST- MAS GIFTS NOW The cut above is that of Mr. E. R.

Walton, Foremost Dramatic Ciiten: Foremost high honors. Not being contented with tho learning he had already acquired, he continuel to increase it and to thor- oughly equip himself with more know!- edge, that he might better prepare himself for the greater battles of life by {aking a course at one of the lead- ing business colleges of the Mound ‘City, from which institution he gradu- ated again with honor and credit. Having the diplomas of two well estab- shed schools carefully laid away in his home, he went forth into the world In search of a vocation to test his ability, with the hope that his intellee- ‘tual efforts might be rewarded with success. After vainly applying for sovéral nosit{ons of trust and respons!- bility that were denied him more én account of his color than the Inck of ability, Mr. Walton, undaunted by dis- couragement, pursued the course of nis own convictions, believing that while there is life there is hope. His efforts were as herole at the end as at the beginning, while under disappoint. ‘ment his courage never wavered. His heart was filled with a determination to live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish. Like a boy who has dreamed a dream but cannot prevail upon men to accept it in all of its glorious sym- metry, he camo to despair of the con- sequences to a world containing so much obstruction and so many fools. After drifting about upon the sea of ‘time, but still hopeful, he eventually floated into journalism. Having been thoroughly tried in this field of liter. ature as to his fitness for such duties, Mr. Walton was appointed to the posi- tion of reporter upon a daily evening paper, which office he filled with credit. And be it said right here that Laster A. Walton has the honor and distinction of being the first and only Afro-American ever engaged as ro porter upon a daily paper in the city of St. Louis. Many of the articles that were read and enjoyed by the readers of the St. Louis Evening Star camo from the pen of that little Afro-Ameri- can Journalist who had not quite at- tained the age of manhood. After eerving his employer faith- fully upon the staff as reporter he sev- ered his connection with the paper to como to New York with Mr. Ernest Hogan, who was then starring in his own company. Mr. Walton, though, having but a small idea of-theatricals, saw the possibilities of a larger field In which to labor and apply his know!- edge. Ho believed that with the aid and assistance of Mr. Hogan, whose | reputation as a performer was second to none, the door of opportunity might open unto him. He refused for once to harken to the pleadings of his be- loved parents, who implored him not to leave tho land of his birth to go forth Inté the world upon his own re- sources so young and inexperienced. Ho closed his ears to tho appeals of lifelong friends who begged him to cancet the thought of leaving them, But all efforts were in vain, ‘There was nothing to thwart his intention of going to New York. His many dreams af the great metropolis with its bright ights and gay white way must come rue, His visions of the greatest city in America must be realized. So, like caesar, he came, he saw, he. con- qwered. But he paid dearly for it by xperience and hardship because the esson that he learned brought out tho very best that was in him, It showed ils true character when put to the est., While Mr. Walton was no per- ormer, oftentimes he would take a ninor part in, the play or get into the horus to thoroughly acquaint himselt vith the work and to broaden his ex- rience. The second year that ho vas with the Hogan aggregation he sas. the personal ropresentative of he great comedian. When an incur- ble malady seized, the unbleached \meriean and’ -his caso. was pro- jounced hopeless, tho company closed or gool and Lester Walton was left Imost a stranger in New-York city, jut_ not hopelessly discouraged, It wis a timo that tried. his ‘soul. iter vainly searching for a position bell boy in one of the leading hotels. He filled the position with much credit to hls employer. But his ambition was so prevalent that ke coutemned the grovelling condition of a bellboy or the like to which hfs*fortune had con- demned him. He would have wilingly risked his life, though not his charac- ter, to exalt bis station, His youthful appearance may have excluded him from any hopes of immediate prefor- ment, but he hoped to preface the way for futurity. Just about that time Mr. Fred Moore of Brooklyn bought the New York Age and Mr. Walton cast his Jot with him with great success. But his suecess didn’t stop there. It was felt that 9, young man with “co great a talent and such progressive: hess deserved all the chances xiven him in the world, so he was prevailed upon to interest himselt into another project, which he did with equal suc- cess, ‘Wheh tho Lafayette theatre was built on Soventh avenue, one of the finest thoroughfares in upper New ‘York city, the promoters of that play- house never considered the Afro- American population sufictently large enough to support it and therefore colonized them and limited their seat- ing capacity. When the classes to which they liad catered for their sup- port had failed to respond, and the ‘expenses wore consuming the receipts the house changed management. After having undergone this pro- cedure several times with the same Asastrous result, the house seemed Aoomed to complete failure until Mr. Walton, with his theatrical experience gained ‘while with the Hogan com Dany, was asked.to take the manage ment at a rental of $25,000 per year. Tt would seem extremely discouraging fn the face of so many fallures to as sume such a great responsibility, but failure was not in his category of bus iness pursuits, Defeat only spurred him on to grander and nobler efforts Throughout Ils whole life his para mount motive was to get things done ‘but not to make himself a great fame by doing things. His partner, Mr Morganthay, a Hebrew by birth and ‘well equipped with an abundance of theatrical knowledge and experience wisely and justly left the entire man agement to the care of Mr. Walton ‘a rare occurrence where such odd busi ness relation exis{s for a young Afro American man, to hold the predomt nant power for his policy to be mould ed by a fresh and eager mind an¢ executed by the vigor of a spirit no yot tamed to an immoderate reverenes for obstacles. ‘The Lafayette is not race theatre, but the greater percen tago of attendance consists chiefly 0 Afro-American colored people, ‘Th Aecorum is on par with that of the | very best theatres in the city, and the white patrons, realizing the fact, ar inereasing thelr patronage : nightly Mr. Walton has employed Afro-Amor fean help to fil all of the position: about the theatro, from the box ote to tho porter. His weekly pay rol reaches well into three figures o large denominations. The perform ances consist of six vaudeville acts 0 high class and merit. Usually. ther are equal numbers of white and blac! acts, ‘The motion pictures are th | best and very instructive. On Tues @ay and Saturday nights the countr; store draws enormously large crowds Wednesday nights for amateur tryout. and Friday nights something new i for amateur society dances. ‘Thre: prizes for this contest amounting $10 are given to the three bes Gancers. Mr. Walton Is always on th: alert to introduce some new and nove feature to surprise and interest hi patrons. ‘That is why the Lafayott theatre has been so successfill unde his management, Such great respon sibilities for a young man with great er prospects of a failure than of suc cess should be somewhat discourag ing, but St has only served to Increas his courage for larger undertakings Ho is a man of good character and : ood character cannot be mado in Gay... Good character is made up o all ‘good things. AN the ennobling things accomplished go into thi grand thing called character. For th benefit of those whose inclination: might lean toward rescuing him fron ‘the path of single blessedness 1 wil say that Mr. Walton has been mad happy by his marriage to the daughte of Mr. Fred Moore, and two lovely children bless their union. He is af fable and affectionatte in disposition very ambitious, hfs ambitfon bubbling ‘over with hope, naively exulting in the consciousness of his powers, winning friends wherever he goes and keeping them without an effort or calculation merely by the charm and sincerity of his spirit, PROF.

Her work proved that sh was no longer a pupll, but a-master that she had accomplished more that any of the American artists. ‘The lead ing music lovers of tho city gave bei big audlence and appreciated to thi highest her masterful interpretations Mrs, Rena Rogers, the expert mus fal critic of Indiana, sald in the 1 Porte Augus-Bulletin: «The piano recital given by Miss Hazel Harrison at tho Presby- terlan Church last evening was much more than-a recital, It was & revelation. To a very few is given the power of vivid tone ex: Pression. Many have accomplished skill in giving divine barmony, but few can add a thrilling, throbbing heart quality so potent that, al- though possibly we do not have exactly the same idea as the com- poser, we recognize that a human soul is speaking with music as its natural language. Miss. Harrison Js able to give this quality to her interpretations. As she gave her numbers the “program” was for- gotten. We listened, charmed with the volees of Bach, Beethoven and Liszt. ‘Those voices nevor Ineked Durpose, and the directness and sincerity with which the artist, made them to speak again were almost compelling. Wo listened enrapt—not because we would, Dut hecause wo must. So ft is ever with true greatness. In any branch of art ease and naturalness are the greatest proof of success, | ‘Theso two qualities aro most in evidence in all that Miss Harrison does. Her fullness of tone ts re- markable and the lightness abso- utely captivating. Whether the emotion. called for tremendous crescendo, whirling cadenza or perfect legato, they were perfectly expressed. It was nothing that almost inbuman demands were made on human hands. Every” phrase was crystal pure—always, the lights and shades seemed in ust the right proportion and were Biven with the freedom of thought. itself when born of genius. The Beethoven sonata, op. 5%, written at a time when the piano: was, entirely inadequate to the fancies of such a composer, when St required an orchestra to give the desired fullness to the work, was last night given so much full ness and grandeur of tone quality that we could but rejoice that the Prophetic spirit of Beothoven had deen fulfilled.

All the Iquid brightness sang in the tones of the second number, given as an encore—"Tho Spring,” Schubert, Liszt. The mel- ody sang merrily and quietly along, now in the sunshine, now in tho shade, but never lost. it seemed that Miss Harrison ‘was most happy in the Liszt selec tions—that there we were most Kenly aware ‘ot her quick sym- pathles and great resourees, The rhapsodie was a triumph, Miss Harrison is befng urged by th musical folk of New York City to come there and open a studlo, Her man} friends in Chicago are extremely de strous that she go there. It is the ‘opinion of all who know of her work than wherever she goes she will give a higher tone to musteal art, and wil be the means of raising the musieal standard of the community.

Halt Frozen, With Little Food; and Menaced by School of Whales, Survivors Live to Tell ae sca How the ofllcers and crew of the American revenue cutter Tahoma, which sank late in September after Uitting an uncharted reef in the frozen Aleutian islands, fought for life. for fivo days in open boats in a heavy sea, escaped a school of six whales and finally survived with no food except parrot soup, fs: recounted in letters re Gelved by ‘friends of the party at ‘Washington. AN tho 85 survivors, including tho oflcers and crow of the Tahoma and & party of natives who wero aboard when the cutter began to aink, under went almost Indescribable hardehips detore they were picked up by tho steamship Cordova. As eoon as tho officers found that the cutter could not be saved all those fon board set out in atx open boats. ‘They remained close by the Tahoma until she sank, 24 hours atter hitting the reef. ‘Then they started out to try to find land, Five of the boats suc- ceeded in reaching the island of Agat- tu, one of tho Aloutian chain. ‘The other remained at sea until rescued. So crowded were tho members of the party in the open boats that they could not sit down or sleep. ‘The feat of every one wag frozen or swollen frightfally after tho five days at sea. ‘The boat commanded by First Liout T. M. Malloy of the revenue cutter service attracted a schop! of whales. ‘The whales started to follow the boat at night whon they saw the lights. One ot the whales—there were six—got $0 lose that it touched the boat. ‘Lteutenant Malloy, fearful that tho whales would attack the boat, gave strict orders that no ono should shoot. Tho whales appeared to be playful and made no effort to harm the occu pants. : ‘Because of the crowded conditions and the heavy sea little food could bo taken into the small boats. On the dey before they sighted land the ra- Hons had to be cut down to one sau- sage, one cracker and one cupful of water tor each person, At last the occupants of Lieutenant Matioy’s boat and another, which had remained close beside, sighted Jand— Agattu island, After a hard putt they made a successful landing, and with sails that were carried by the small boats, rigged up a shelter. The sea- men shot two wild geese and four sea parrots, which they made into soup in & Dig kettle and ate with a fow water soaked crackers. All of the survivors set to work gathering driftwood for a huge fire to send up a signal of black smoke to at- tract some ship that might come to the ‘rescue in response to the "S, 0.

He sald there should be no petty feeling over the matter; the question was too big for that; that every Afro- American in the country should take the broad and liberal view and com- ‘mend Editor Trotter for earnestly and courageously defending the race be- fore the chief magistrate against sog- Fegation. When Attorney Cotter fin- fshed, he was requested to return ‘again, at which time the question will be reviewed, The Ways of a Man.

According to him, we know nothing of the existence of such waves and are absolutely devold of the means of establishing them. ‘The chief difi- ‘culty Mes in the fact that those who ‘seem to believe In them most Implie- {tly are unable to so much as haz- ard a guess as to the material In which they occur. ‘The physicist who teaches the ex- {stence of light waves affirms at the beginning that they are waves’ of the, ether.

Eugene Fleld’s Varied Career. Eugene Field, newspaper writer and poet, was born (date not exactly au thenticated in some biographies) No vember 7, 1850, at Amberst, Mase. His father was a lawyer of some distinc ton and was one of the counsel in the famous Dred Scott slavo case. His mother died when he was a child and hho was placed in caré of Miss French, 2 cousin. At tho age of eighteen ho entered “Williams college, but, his father dying soon after, his guardian placed him in Knox college at Gales: burg, Ill, and tater he went to the Unt versity “of Missouri. Tn 1871 he “knocked about” for a few months in Europe, and then for soveral years \va3 a reporter, manager and editor for newspapers in’ St. Louls, Kansas City and Denver. Later ho was for years on the staff of the Chicago Evening News, until his death in 1995. He wrote volumes of _hear-appealing verse, his child poems especially being sidety copied. He was possessed of a notable brary In which there were many rare and costly volumes. boo eee dee A herd of deer celebrated the close ot the genning seston by invading the garden of Postmaster A. C.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE PACT that many of our worthy divines frown upon tripping the light fantastic either in public or private, the vast majority of people see no harm in the dance itself but only what it is liable to lead to. Of course, harm can be made of the most innocent sort of amusement if one so desires. It is left entirely with the individual. The playing of cards often leads to gambling,.a social glass of wine in the home may have been the first downward step of the drunkard, These things are not imeommon, they are everyday occurrences, and yet it is only the narrow minded who wish to abolish everything that evil can come from. ‘The man of woman’ who is good because they have not been tempted de- Serves no espécial credit. Adam could not have eaten the apple had hie not seen it and been in a position to get it. To have temptation all about you and then resist shows true worth, shows backbone. It is so much easier to do wrong than right, is a common expression, hut an untrue one. As winter approaches indoor amusements be- come more popular and placards, advertisements and circular letters “gdioremimvite you to join this or that dancing class. ‘Thefe is no privacy, anyone who has the required admission fee is welcome. So it can readily be seen the cosmopolitan crowds that attend these functions. For a young lady unaccompanied to frequent a public alance hall means sooner or later she will become common, meeting as she does men of every type who in the dance embrace her and take other conventional liberties that even a close friend would be denied in her own home. Mothers and fathers should have a care low they permit their daughters to take this first step downward. Dancing under proper environments is a pleasant innocent amuse- ment that the yonng should not be deprived of. But these so-called schools with but few exceptions, are merely public dances given for the purpose of making money. One school in Chicago, howover, @laces a high value upon decorum and issues no return checks. “Once you enter, you must remain until the close or pay another admission fee. It is a step in the right direction but there is con- ‘siderable food for thought in the matter of dancing schools, | GROWING UP WITH THE COUNTRY. ‘THE PROPOSITION TO GO WEST and grow up with the country seems to have met favor with at least two million of our people, for in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas they have-under their cof, as gwners and renters, about $300,000,000 worth of farm property aid own 60,000 farms containing 6,000,000 acres of land with farm property, live stock and farming implements worth $200,000,000, a record that would be bard for any other race of people to duplicate in the same length of time. ‘There is an independence about farm life that is not enjoyed by any other class of workers, True the work at times is hard and taxes the strength and energy but when harvest time is over ampte rewards are made for the seeming drudgery, And with it all comes something far more to be desired than wealth—health. For there is nothing so conducive to longevity as plenty of pure fresh air, regular habits and plain wholesome well cooked food. It is such A mistake for young men and women to think the bright lights of & city meay joy and happiness. ‘Too’ often they mean just the Feverse, pain and sorrow, and yct it is but one in a hundred that will listen to and heed advice and suggestion, Experience is a dear teacher and it is strange how many are willing to pay the price. It is not advisable for us all to be farmers any more than it is for us all to be doctors, lawyers or clergymen, but those who have no, trade or profession and live from hand to mouth, so to speak, would find it far more to their advantage in every respect to be a tiller of ethe soil. Farmers complain that they cannot’ get helpers to harvest ithe ‘crops even though good wages are paid, this too, in the face of the fact that the cities are swamped with idle men. ‘There is little excuse for the man who wants work being out of a job, the trouble with a great majority is they are looking for snaps, and snaps are ~usually given to men already in on the ground floor.

This wholesale pardonmg was a matter of ““justice"—-perhaps there is a different definition for the word justice than Webster gives. What of the lynchings, Jim crow laws, mob rule and the like? Can a sane man justify these things? The unpopular governor has ridden into fame_and fortune for the last time on the back of the unfortunate Afro-American; the people of ‘his own state have sealed his doom; rather fate, but better late than never. If among these thousand prisoners pardoned there were ‘some who were punished unjustly, some who were innocent, we are glad they were set free, regardless of the motive that prompted ‘the pardoner’s action, On jhe other hand we are just as anxious ‘that the criminal class among us be punished as other races are that ‘their criminal class receive their just deserts, The country has long since known the peculiar way South Carolina has of delivering justice but this is the first time that its chief executive has formally ‘made the indictment.

With us too often a little learning is a dangerous thing and again let us warn you that self secking politicians always have some. far fetched and fetich reason to be for any candidacy they may espouse to hide the ugliness of their own selfish desires. Let us have a good business man to represent us in the council next spring and for heaven sake let it be a case of the office seeking the man. With a number of candidates in the field no one man can secure enough yotes for a nomination. Undoubtedly. white politicians would advise and encourage a number of our candidates to make the run at the primaries, hoping thereby in the division of our forges, while they are agreeing upon some white candidate, to make the nomina- tion of their candidate doubly sure. We are suffering hard times today largely through the fact that a Democratic administration is ignorant of the principles and policies to’ make government and business a success. ‘This very condition was brought about by the split in the Republic ranks when the Bull Aloose movement drew so many votes from the Republican party until the Democratic minor- ity came in power, Nothing can happen of more benefit to our people in the city than to be represented by a very capable man in the council, and this can only be accomplished by a united effort regardless of party affiliations. Shall we lose this golden opportunity? DEMOCRACY VS. DEMOCRACY. PERHAPS NO INCIDENT IN A DECADE has happened which sheds more light upon the status quo of the colored man in America than the Wilson-Trotter controversy. Undoubtedly the Président’s position expresses the entire Democratic administra- tion’s attitude toward us and is not surprising in view of what Democracy has always stood for in relation to the Afro-American. Democracy as a principle and Democracy as a party are two Separate and distinct things. Democracy as a principle as defined by the “un-abridged” Government by the people; a form of govern- ment in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of the people collectively or in which the people exercise the power of legislation. “The principles as promulgated today by the Democratic party fall far short of these broad planks, but we should not be cast down or hopeless at any event. We have been making tremendous strides all along in the face of the ‘same conditions aud ineidents should only spur us on to help each other to promote our own institutions and to labor for the: general welfare of our people here. Certainly it is hard to feel the instincts of patriotism throbbing in our hearts and to know in our minds that liberty and justice are only abstract terms in the vocabulary of our nation’s chief. Pity the soul so warped by prejudice from the ways of truth and righteousness until hypocrisy eats as a canker at the vitals of his being. To mention Abraham Lincoln in this connection is a far cry from the present exponent of national policy. Is it still true that a house divided against itself cannot stand? THE LEO FRANK CASE AGAIN. || THE CASE OF LEO M. FRANK, under sentence of death in Atlanta, Ga, for the murder of Mary Phagan, has been carriéd tb the Stipreme court, Whether that body will sit in action upon it ‘Femains to be seen. Should Justice Lamar, who is assigned to the circuit in which Georgia is located, grant the writ the case would go on the court’s docket and would not be heard for about two years unless advanced. .In the meantime, in all probability, they will skirmish around and try to find some Afro-American to fasten'the blame on as they did before, Some of the detectives in this case Who tried fo perform this feat know to their sorrow what the effort cost them, so likely they will not be so officious in the coming hear- ing. It seems a difficult matter to punish a criminal who has means oF friends with long pitrses. If Frank had neither we would have heard little of the case. That he has received justice is the universal opinion and if the Supreme court decides different it will be a surprise to many. \ PROSPERITY ON THE WAY. EVERY INDICATION POINTS TO A RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS. along all lines not later than the first’ of the year. Factories,i mills and plants that employ thousands of men are getting in readiness (o run on full time. The money market espe- cially around this section, is getting easier and loans can now be negotiated for 6 per cent when but a few weeks ago one could not get money dt.any price. This change in affairs-is dite to a great extent to the opening of the new Federal Reserve Bank which re- Jeaged more than twenty million from the reserves of the local banks and the simultaneous lowering of the interest rates on both time and demand loans marked the turning point. While we have no large factories or mills of our own, we share by our labor in the general prosperity of the section in which we reside and when the larger businesses prosper the smaller one is bound to get its share.

I would not miss this opportunity to express my appreciation on behalt of ‘the race for the masterly coinage of the words “The Monroe Trotter Dec: trine.” That was a master stroke on your part and 1 trust that the readers of your paper have concelved the pos. sibilitfes that can be’ accomplished through the adoption of the spirit that prompted Mr. Monroe ‘Trotter to take the stand he did In Interviewing President Wilson, + Tam sure you and your readers will agree with me that Mr, Trotter Is a Aiplomat of the first water. While ho as been critleized by some, yet I cannot conceive how ho could have obtained better results nor have his critics suggest better moth. ods than were used by Mr. Trotter, |The nilllions of Afro-Americans in this country should manifest the same spirit of protest as Mr. Trotter did. ‘Wise agitation is now in order, and Imstead of following the conceptions of a race of which we are no part, we now have as a woll Inid foundation the Monroe Trotter doctrine, and may the Afro-Americans use It in a way that will reflect crodit upon them, which ean be done only by a continual, persistent demand that the Afro. Americans be permitted to enjoy without let or hindrance the rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States and by the divine law of the rights of man, Our emancipation lies in the Mon- roe Trotter doctrine. ‘Very truly yours, FRED SUMMERS, 49 E. 28th St..
