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. If the place can be given to foreign women who have only been citizens one or two years ago, who were born on these shores should have a chance. Don't take "No" for an answer. See your Alderman, and even your Congressman. We must be represented. You pay taxes, too.
KENTUCKY PYTHIAS LAY
CORNERSTONE.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 29—A large crowd of Kentucky Pythians gathered here this week to witness the laying of the cornerstone of the new $120,000 Pythian Temple located at the corner of 10th and Chestnut街. The excercises were in charge of Grand Master, who was assisted by some of the leading Pythians in the state. There was a grand military parade preceding the excercises. The building is to be seven stories high, with roof garden, elevator, office rooms, armory, dormitories, store fronts, barber shop, theater, shower auditorium, bank, etc. This building will be a handsome one, indeed.

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."

"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."
At the close of the meeting a public committee of three was elected The members are the Rev. James A Beese, the Rev. E. L. Williams, and the Rev. W. B. Norton.

Superintendent of Schools Lauded for Her Improvements in Public Schools and for Her Opposition to Segregation.
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.
The Afro-American pupils and teachers also voice their praise of Mrs. Young, the teachers declaring her to be a fair minded and conscientious executive, believing in justice to everyone, and the Chicago Defender lauds her for her opposition to "Jim Crow" schools.
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.

FEDERAL JURY CASE
(Special to the Chicago Defender).
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.

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.

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

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.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 27—Promoters of the mass meet held at the Second Baptist churst Nov. 8th, deny in the follo- statement to The Times that at a- was said in derision of Preside- son: "Editor of The Times.
"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.

A resolution protecting against segregation was given the form of a statement to the American people at the meeting.
The speakers were W. M. Trotter, who headed the delegation which visited the White House last week to meet with the president and department departments; Thomas Walker, chairman of the district branch of the Equal Rights league; E.

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.

Ho has taken overs big, government

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.

LOUIS B. ANDERSON
PEOPLE'S CHOICE
FOR ALDERMAN?
Lively Interest in Campaign to Nom!
nate at the game. Race
from, Second Ward.
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.

The vivid imagination of childhood is as a fairy charm for magnifying possibilities. A small boy, being directed to empty his bulging pockets, brought forth among other strange treasures a circular piece of rubber. Asked its nature and purpose he made answer: "Well, that a real good washer. I'm going to start an automobile shop with it some day."

Lester A. 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

«The piano recital given by Miss
Hazel Harrison at tho Presby-

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

sincerity with which the artist,
made them to speak again were
almost compelling. Wo listened

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

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

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.

sald there should be no petty feeling

Existence of Brain Waves,” ax Popu:
Tarly Understood, Hae Never
‘near eunties
aieit Ray Lankester, who has been @
‘diligent student of telepathy, now ar-
Fives at the conclusion that the s0-
called “brain waves,” of which the te-
lepathist talks, have no foundation in
Selence. 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. In holding to sound waves he
explains that they are waves of the
atmosphere. ‘To say that sound and
light are waves and at the same time
to be unable to dectare the substance
of’ which those waves consist would
be to leave soufld and light unex:
plained: and Sir Ray holds that a ike
Inference 1s to be drawn from the
brain-wave explanation of telepathy.
But granting the existence of such
waves, he proceeds to ask by what
means they aro received, and obtains
no answer. As far as present day
selence goes there ts no detector In
the brain by which they may be re-
ceived, and no mechanism to trans-
form them into sensible form. Neither

posed “brain waves.”.
Eugene Fleld’s Varied Career.
Eugene Field, newspaper writer and

‘STUCK TO: HIS FRIEND
BORROWER INSPIRED BY SPIRIT
No one could truthfully deny that
‘most of the small farmers of Dilmouth
Were addicted to borrowing—farming
tools chiefly—although as occasion
arose they woilld borrow anything
else with the utmost cheerfulness.
‘Th. burden fell heaviest upon Caleb
Peaslee, a thrifty farmer who kept
every necessary tool, and who tried (0

advent of a new farmer, a well-to-do
man who brought with’ him almost
‘every known appliance for tilling the

eseape from. some of his troubles,
“Mebbe soine of these hawks'll take

confided to his son,. "I hope so—t do

if 1 can't turn some of ‘em his way,

Caleb made his first attompt at
“turing them” when Jake Meader, bis

Borrower, came for the wheel hoo,

“Ain't you goin’ into Bangor some

quired, anxiously.
Mr. "Peasleo drow his thumb care:
fully along the scythe, testing the
edge.
“L dkenow but mebbe I shall," he re
turned, noneommittally. “Why?”
“Why! returned Jake, in aggrieved
surprise. “On account of that wheel

Caleb regarded the borrower with a
fine irony, tempered by an exasper-

“Seo hore, Jake,” he said at length,

DANCING SCHOOL DANGERS.
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

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

the fact that the cities are swamped with idle men. ‘There is little

GET TOGETHER.
_ AGAIN IT 1S TIMELY to warn the people of the Second
jward against encouraging petitions of numerous candidates for
aldermen at the spring primaries, The first and only excellent oppor-
‘tunity to elect a race man to the council from the ward seems about
‘to be foiled by the many Richmonds entering the field, misguided
[by a conceited sense of their own importance or advised by friends
who sacrifice the common good for personal favor. 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.

Try to Win,
We are now living in the age of
improvement. For instance, take the
long-distance’ man—whose wind, mus-
cle and grit are equal to any strain
bo may put upon them. You may not
approve of the pace that is aat, but
you must elther follow or get out of
the race and watch the others go by.
It doesn’t do any good to try to stay
in and Klek because others won't walt
for you. ‘They can’t walt; they are
after the honor and prize. Now, what-
ever race you may enter, try to win;
don't say “the pressure is too heavy,”
