The largest grocery store conducted by a man of the race is to be found here in Houston, owned and conducted by R. L. Andrews. Fully two-thirds of his patrons are white—and this in Texas. He buys in heavy quantities—carload lots, and so is prepared to sell at the lowest possible rate. In Houston he monopolizes, or rather corners, the sweet potato trade, merely because he is the heaviest buyer. He does not only a retail business, but a wholesale business as well, selling to many of the best white grocers. No name appears on any of his delivery windows, and no name appears on the window or above the door of his big store, but every citizen in town knows the location of the store. Capitalist Is Hard Worker Mr. Andrews is a man who has put a lot of religion in his business, as well as putting business in his religion. Another big character and potential factor here in causing the Texan to loom up big in the racial horizon is J. B. Bell, the real estate dealer and capitalist. He is too modest to boast of his achievements, but I learned—and correctly, too—that, starting a few years ago on a borrowed capital of $150, Mr. Bell's rent roll today amounts to more than $600 per month, and his property, all of which is of encumbrance. And though Mr. Bell's himself, no one in the city labs hard work consistently to assist his race in achieving, and none is more liberal in his financial contributions for race betterment. One of the landmost libraries Andrew Carnegie built for the race is the one in this city, and it is one of the best. If not the very best, conducted and unintended, being scrupulously clean, and largely because of the interest Mr. Bell takes in it. Editor Love on Guard. In Houston the Afro-African is helping himself, and this is disclosed in the fact that he owns an conducts here fine groceries, well-stocked drygoods stores, coffee shops, underestablishments, butcher's shops, insurance companies, newspapers, and various other business enterprises with marked success. There is shortly liberal sentiment on the pat of the whites toward the race in his city, and the restrictions which the race suffers from here are no worse than those encountered in New York, perhaps, of whose Afro-African citizens Rev. Ransom speaks so helplessly. Editor Love, with his strong unpromising weekly stands gurd here against any backward step affecting the race, either on the part of the race or the whites. Among the race men here who are laboring most uselessly to advance the race in Houston are J. B. Bell, J. H. Harrison, Philip Herbert, J. M. Frierson, J. W. Hebert, C. L. Dickson, Dr. H. E. Lea, J. Rardeway and J. C. Love. RENT YOUR ROOBS. Why have you a vanat room your house when a small classifier "ad" in The Chicago Defender brings the right kind of roomers? Try me. --- VOL. X., NO. 1.

REVERDY RANSOM Praise of the Race in Lone Star State by Noted Editor Sanctioned by Ralph W. Tyler, Who Studied People and Conditions in Recent Tour. LEADERS IN MANY LINES Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and Many Other Men Cited as Being Responsible for People in State Looming So Big on Racial Horizon. By Ralph W. Tyler. Houston, Texas, Jan. 1.—The Rev. Reverdy Ransom, the polished editor of the A. M. E. Review and the race's most eloquent pulpit orator, says that the Afro-Americans of Texas are the coming people in this country; that they loom up on the racial horizon. My tour through the Lone Star state confirms Rev. Ransom's statement. Dr. Booker T. Washington, possessed as he is of indomitable energy and wonderful capacity for organizing and achieving, would have built Tuskegee Island, standing, but his building operations would have been attended with more difficulties had he not found in Texas, and in this city, that quiet, prodigious worker and master of details, Emmett J. Scott, to assist him in his work. In some ways the Texas white men, as a rule, are the meanest white men in the country, unless we except Oklahoma, which is largely Texan; and yet the state of Texas contributes more for the education of the race than any southern state. In this state the public school buildings for Afro-Americans are far superior to any other country, which is better, and the teaching force the equal of most states in which opportunities and rights and privileges for the race are prepaRED to be better. In this city, whose total population is 130,000 30,000 are Afro-Americans. Thirty-five Baptist Churches. The phenomenal growth of this city is benefited the Afro-American here well as the whites, for there is optery to the value of $200,000 on tax duplicate of this city in the ames of people of the race. The same people have $150,000 invested in business enterprises, and they have $500,000 in hard, cold cash deposited in the banks of this city as a reserve fund for a rainy day or for taking advantage of good investments. There are fourteen race schools in this city, one of them being a most substantial team, average in size and equipment far better than those in cities of southern states other than Texas. Like the average race community, there is a strong religious sentiment here, and fifty-one churches—thirty-five of which are Baptist—stand as a monument to a mystic deity, and to draw heavily upon the hard-working, industrious people for support. There is quite a professional course here—fourteen physicians, six dentists, seven pharmacists and one Negro lawyer, although Editor Love on Guard.

Afro-Americans Simply Fight Bck When Attacked Because They Died to Resent White Man's Insult to Woman of the Race. (Special to the Chicago Defender) Charlotte, N. C., Jan. 1—There was no race riot at Pairplay, near Searce, last week, as reported in the daily newspapers; but an old man by the name of Gibson dared to shoot at a mob of white men after they had killed his son and had corrupted him behind a bridge. If this constitutes a race riot we doft our hats to the Associated Press. The casualties are two Afro-Americans killed and six white men wounded. White Ruffian Insults Woman. The Frount started Christmas afternoon. Wroom Campbell, a white man, insisting reminiscent to a young lady who was down the street with George Gibson. That night Campbell got his gang together, they could not locate Gibson. However, they ran across Tom Spright, his friend, whom they took across the Savannah river and gave a terrible beating. He is near death. Old Man Dies Fighting. Later the same night George Gibson and his brother Gibson, were waylaid by the mob. The bridge in a buggy, and young Gibson was pulled from the rig. He fought desperately and got away, but was captured and beaten to death. The mob then started after the old man, but several of the white outlaws were shot by the elder Gibson, who protected himself behind the bridge. Then he ran and was brought down by a bullet in his back. His gun was broken and used to beat him to death. Magistrate in Mob. The mob numbered between seventy and eighty. Among the white men injured by the older Gibson were Magistrate W. G. McClure, Paul Marrott, Legan Ramoy and the leader, Woodrow Campbell. For reference remember the scene of the race riot(?) was a town called Fairplay. BLACK FACE WHITE MEN ROB AND MURDER Make Confession After Capture and Lives of Innocent Afro-Americans Saved. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Cairo, Ill., Jan. 1—Criminal instincts of the white man were again manifested at Thebes, in the northwest of this county, last week. They pursued the same tactics as white men often do in the South. They bought black cloth, made face masks and went to the residence of two rich bachelors, killed and robbed them and escaped to St. Louis, Mo., where they were captured and returned to Cairo. They made a full confession of the crime and told how they made the faces so they could be taken for black men. It was learned that they had conceived other men and had the same of innocent Afro-Americans. Not a single Afro-Americans lived within twenty miles of Thebes, was their aim to do the killing and robbing and let race men be blamed for it. The names of the murderers are Thomas Clapp and Lester Moody. Their capture saved the lives of some innocent men of the race. "FATHER" C. H. ANDERSON ILL AT PROVIDENT "Father" C. H.

LOS ANGELES MEN CONSULT; PLAN BETTER SERVICE Speakers at Workingmen's Meeting Discuss Best Methods for Efficiency—Employee and Employer Must Have Same Interest in Business. Best Interests of Owner and Worker Served When Men on Payroll Prepared for Conscientious Thoroughness in Service by Study of Work. By Eloise Bibb Thompson, Contributing Editor. Los Angeles, Cal. Jan. I.-A consultation meeting of the employees of the city was held recently at Wesley Chapel, Eighth and San Julian streets, for the purpose of laying plans to further the interests of employer and employee. The meeting was called by L. V. Steward, the elevator starter at Bullock's for the last seven years, a progressive young man who for two years has got together most of the local American workmen with the aim of discussing how best they may fit themselves for more efficient service. The meeting at Wesley Chapel was attended by a goodly number of city employees in parks, in department stores, in hotels, in bank buildings, in the hall of records, in the cochhouse and in the postoffice. Supervisor Norton Speaks. Among the prominent speakers pres- pent were R. H. Norton, supervisor of the second district; D. H. Jones, effi- ciency man at Bullock's; H. M. Biglow, superintendent at Bullock's; Daniel A. Adams, proprietor of the Cozy Den Confectionery, $20 East Ninth street, and the Rev. E. W. Kinchen, pastor of Wesley Chapel. Mr. Norton, an intelligent member of unemp- enployed men, assured him that "it is very essential that men deal rightly and justly with each other if they would have success in life." Efficiency, the result of preparation and an intelligent interest manifested on the part of the employees in the work undertaken, was the subject of the address given by D. H. Jones, who said that "the employee must have the same interest in the business that the employer has in order to derive benefit from the work." He called attention to the good services of L. V. Stew- king's elevator starter, during his time with the store had been most faithful in the performance of his duty, winning the good will and respect of employer and associate workers. Meet on Common Ground. Meet on Common Ground. Mr. Bigelow pointed out the fact that the time has come when men of all races must meet on common ground, letting efficiency and not caste decide which man shall be employed in preference to another. Daniel E. Adams, head waiter of the Darby Hotel, whose financial ability is shown in the fact that he has accumulated some valuable real estate in the city, when asked to tell the secret of his success named the following requisites of the successful employee: Politeness, punctuality, temperance and efficiency. The meeting closed with an urgent plea on the part of the Rev. E. W. Kinchen, who begged the congregation to duly fit themselves for the world's work and to perform their duties with a conscientious thoroughness that must needs meet success. Some of the employees who were instrumental in making the meeting: a success were A. L. Tilton, head janitor, postoffice; D. G. Robinson, Harry J. Bates, head keyman of hall of records; P. J. Anderson and James A. Belson, tailors, and Harry Batte, elevator starter at the hall of records.

"Aunt Jane Allen is dead." This sad intelligence circulated all over the city Saturday, brought sorrow to the citizens in every walk of life, for everyone knew "Aunt Jane Allen." Chicago had no more unique character than this diminutive woman. Always immaculate in her dress, this pleasant-faced woman, long ago but not long ago, has remembrast parts of the city visiting her friends. But why describe her longer. Every Chicagoan knew "Aunt Jane Allen," and how women, civilians and officers, and women, too, would guide across the streets is known to everyone. Sleeps Peacefully Away. "Aunt Jane Allen" (proper name Eliza Jane Allen) passed away at her late residence, E. 31st street, December 26, her 90 year, at 6 a.m. from the infirmities in her body. She quietly slept herself away with her devoted son, Thomas Scoggins, and her woman attendant at her bedside. Her remains were removed to Charles Jackson's undertaking rooms, where they remained until Wednesday morning, when funeral services were held at Bethel A. M; E. church. Rev. A. J Carey delivered the sermon at the request of the family. Comes to Chicago in 1867. Eliza Jane Allen was a product of slavery days, being a native of Woodford County, Kentucky. She came to Chicago in 1867 and resided here until her death. She was married in early life to William Allen, who died in 1886. Five children, all boys, were the result of that union. Only one son, Thomas Scoggins, survives her. His tender care during the many years of her feebleness has enlisted the admiration of everyone. The deceased was a member of Quinn Chapel up until 1881, when her son joined Bethel church and she transferred her membership there. She was a member of M. Hope Temple, No. 1, S. M. T., having been transferred from the active to the honorary list some years ago. RACE WOMAN RUNS LARGE RABBIT FARM Mrs. J. R. Miller Successfully Operates Two Acres in San Gabriel Valley—Julien Fisher, the Wealthy Monrovia Blacksmith, and His Bright Son. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 1, Monrovia, a little town in proximity of Los Angeles, has a population of about 150 who are engaged in mercantile pursuits for the most part. One of the largest rabbit farms in the San Gabriel valley, comprising an area of about two acres, is the Duarte Avenue farm, owned by a woman, Mrs. J. R. Miller, who supplies most of the rabbits for her farm, says Eloise Bibb Thompson in the Los Angeles Tribune. Another prosperous resident is Julien Fisher, the proprietor of two large blacksmith shops on Orange and Shamrock avenues, Mr. Fisher, who has been in California about fifteen years, worked as foreman on the Baldwin ranch for a considerable time, until he could procure money enough to go into the blacksmith business. The opportunity presented itself some few years ago and Mr. Fisher's business has increased to the extent that he employs ten men regularly to assist him in his work. Mrs. Hare Are Winners. He takes great pride in the fact that the three throughbred horses, Jake Argent, Sweet Time and Old Gold, that recently won the race in Vancouver, belonged to him. Mr. Fisher's real estate holds consist of twelve lots, several of which are situated directly opposite the First National Bank.

(Special to the Chicago Defender.) Baton Rouge, La., Jan. 1—Following the publication of—the facts in the wholesale mob murders in and near Shreveport, Caddo parish, the announcement that Governor Hall has ordered a sweeping investigation of the crimes comes like sunshine after a heavy fire in the square and not the force of investigations in other southern states, the entire country welcomes the step. According to the announcement the governor has ordered the state's legal department to probe the lynchings thoroughly. Following is the statement issued from the executive offices: "The governor knows nothing about the Caddo lynchings except what is derived from reports contained in the newspapers, but acting on this information he has requested the attorney general to make an investigation of the matter in fixing the responsibility, suggesting remedial measures for the prosecution, conviction and punishment of those composing the mob." Five Afro-Americans were recently lynched by mobs within ten days, three having been "strung up" in one day. The total number of lynchings in and near Shreveport within the last few (Continued on page 7.) BISHOP B. F. LEE MEETS PRESIDING ELDERS Bishop Benjamin F. Lee of the fourth episcopal district of the A. M. E. Church was in the city last Monday and called together the four presiding elders, Rev. W. D. Cook, S. B. Moore, I. N. Daniels and W. L. Lewis. Bishop Parks of the fifth district, Rev. T. A. Smythe and Rev. A. J. Carey were also present at the meeting. Rev. J. C. Anderson, acting-as host, served dinner for the visiting ministers. The condition of the meeting was to consider the condition of the gristlemen and to give them some money for Christmas. Bishop Lee left for his home in Wiberforce, Ohio, the same night. TURNLEY BROTHERS' Among those who did not get as much pleasure out of the holiday season as they would like were the Turnley brother, cigar manufacturers, who suffered considerable loss when thieves smashed their store window and got away with a lot of cigars. To make the matter worse they had to go to the 477 Street store, in the Atlas Theater, when they met with this misfortune. The culprits are still at large. valuation of this property is estimated at $30,000. The first boy to graduate from the Monrovia grammar school was Julien Fisher, Jr., who is now a member of the high school orchestra, and is considered a talented violinist. It is reported that the only resident, John Massey, of Nivera, a shipping point in the upper part of Los Nietos valley, ten miles southeast of Los Angeles, is a rafter of considerable means, who own fourteen acres or more, which he as sown in corn, alfalfa and potato; his stock consisting of 100 head hogs and 200 chickens.

The Christmas spirit and all that goes with it went abroad in this city during the holidays, and especially Christmas Eve night. It would be hard to estimate the good deeds done in this city among the poor, especially among Afro-Americans. One year ago the Chicago Defender started a campaign to help the poor of the race, to create a spirit of charity who were to spay animals and happiness subjects to the poor. This work then a poor and distressed family alienated. Four weeks ago the Defender launched a campaign to help the poor, widowed and orphans. It called upon clubs and individuals to help. The following responded: The DEFENDER made no personal solicitation. It appealed to the conscience of its subscribers. Reporters Visit Homes Reporter's Visit Homes. Representatives of the CHICAGO DEFENDER visited homes of those in desistance circumstances. They followed in the paths of the Volunteer Workers' Chub. They found mothers with babes in their arms, no coal, no fuel; instances that the father was out of work and several months to feed; medical attention needed and a nurse in some instances. What the Funds Did. The funds given to the CHICAGO DEFENDER were utilized in the very best possible manner. Wishing to spread the Christmas spirit, it decided to fill their tables on this day with goodies. The two automobiles were put in commission. The two chauffeurs started out Thursday evening at 7:30 p. m. In the Santa Claus baskets were: One chicken, a bunch of celery, one quart of cranberries, one can of corn, half peek of potatoes, six apples, six oranges, two leaves of bread, one pound of candy and a CHICAGO DEFENDER. On Christmas day every one of these families had a dinner that made FIRST MUNICIPAL DANCE AT ODD FELLOWS HALL Lovers of the Light Fantastic Composed of Both Races Enjoy Evening of Pleasure—Perfect Decorum Feature.

A CHICAGO DEFENDER report estimated the crowd at about 200 shortly after ten o'clock. First Dance Success. The initial effort of the city along this line in this section is to be a criterion there is no doubt but what the way has been found for an evening's pleasure at a nominal sum under the direct supervision of the authorities. The best of order prevailed throughout the evening and everyone was pleased. Notables Present. Mrs. Leonora Z.

LOUISVILLE CAN SEGREGATE RACES Authorities Get Court Ruling on Race Question—40,000: Afro-Americans Affected/ Special to The Chicago Defender, Louisville, KY, Jan. 1—Segregation of the 40,000 Afro-Americans in Louisville is the rightful exercise of a police power of the state, according to an handed down in criminal court Dec. 14 by judge James P.

The club rooms were crowded to the most capacity, and all present were male in support of the spirit of plan enacting the call. Speeches were made by many varying.

The son of this committee was to get and suggestse from the candi looking to elimination so that slored people of the ward could the polls on primary day with no candidate for Alderman and have their solid backing. Candidates Invited. In pursuance of this duty Mr. F. L. Barnett sent notices to Messala, F. L. B Anderson, Charles Griffin and Oscar DePriest, asking that they meet the committee at the Douglas Center on Monday evening, December 23. Those who meet the committee were: F. L. Barnett, chair of the committee; Mrs. E. H. Wright, Mrs. Kissie Blitz and J. T. H. Woods. In response to the invitation all three of the above named candidates appeared at the place and time set. Mr. F. L. Barnett as chairman of the committee briefly explained the object and purpose as have outlined, after which the candidates suggested. Mr. Louis B. Anderson left talk in which he assured the notice that he stood ready and g to enter into any agreement or that could fairly eliminate all but addicate of color for the nominated the following plan: Elimination Submitted by Louis Gordon, Chairman of the Second Ward. of the Second Ward. are a single candidate of color at aldermanic primary, Feb. 23, doubt the following plan; o hold a pre-primary for colored ed voters. at the following precincts in colored people in large numbers in the primary district, wards 1 to 6, in the secondary district to each district: Precincts 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 47 --- two (2) judges and one (1) the color who have announced their name one in each district.

That the time for closing the hour of 10 p. m. Mr. Anderson supported his plan with a forceful argument for its adoption, urging with much earnestness that he considered the interest of the race in the matter as being of more interest than the ambitions of any individual. Mr. DePriest Does Not Agree. Mr. Oscar DePriest next addressed the committee, and flatly refused to be bound by, or in any way enter into, and not the organization which he repay agreement for elimination. He insisted that he was the choice of the Republican organization and that the duty of all voters was to the land and by organization's choice resented to compromise with any person, or combination of persons. He felt that if he could not win with the organization behind him that it was useless to bicker or barter with any outside of that fold. Mr. Charles Griffin, the other candidate, in an apology, was regretted that his organization—the Political Equality League—would not permit him to enter into any agreement. He said he was desirous of doing anything within his power to accomplish the end sought by the committee, but very much regretted that he, too, had organization deserved prosecution agreement that would abrogate their endorsement of himself. After hearing from each of the candidates the chairman, Mr. Barnett, announced that as only one plan or suggestion for the solution of the problem which his committee was appointed to clairify, had been submitted, and as only one candidate, Mr. Louis B. Anderson, was willing to make the sacrifice in the interest of the race, the committee could only make the report u accordance therewith. Mr. Barnett said that the committee would soon be called, to which the committee would make its port. Daily Thought. What does the word "cheerfulness" ply?

Jew would have to leave the states. These conditions count last summer. The Afro-American will have to quit the Jew and go for himself in the South. The Frank-Conley case is only the first chapter in the coming struggle between the whites and the Jews. The Jews have taken offense, spending their Jewish race, not so much Frank. If Frank is hanged on the set date, it's the pure white man's winning point and will put the Jew on the same plane with the Afro-American, as a Jew has been hung on the evidence of one of them and the Jew will have lost his standing. Then we turn to the poor Afro-American. The writer was in Atlanta just after Frank's trial. The Jew was the only one in the State of Georgia had little or no interest in the case. On the other hand one or two were hired by Burns to swear that Conley told them that he killed the girl. One Afro-American paper came out with bold type saying that the paper believed Frank innocent. The pulpit did not mention the case. It's the Jewish race, not Frank; it's the Afro-American race, not Cop; it's the Jewish race, not Phagan. No one of the three would make a good public example. It's not the State of Georgia, it's the whole United States. It's not one Afro-American, it's the whole race. This trial had to come. It's the first of the many to follow. Such articles as appeared in the Tribune appeared in the newspaper fighting to the last ditch to save their race and will continue to fight for ever. The Christian white man is fighting to keep him back and the Afro-Americans are fighting among themselves. Somebody pray for us. Care of the Feet The more the feet are bathed and rubbed the more comfort you will have. Rubbing the soles of the feet with a raw lemon is very resful after the bath. Keep the toe nails cut short. Keep the toes on sides, and the circle nails nails should be kept loose. A strong, but salt bath is very resful for the feet. Fabulous Cockatice A cockatrice was a fabulous animal of the basilisk species. Its distinguishing characteristic was a crest or comb like a rooster's. Sir Thomas Brown, in his "Vulgar Errors," drew a clear distinction between a cockatrice and a basilisk. He even argues for the existence of such an animal. Need of Education. Education is one of the greatest barriers to crime and poverty. It is, therefore, essential that our children, the coming generation, should be well educated, and that had eyes, or any other physical or mental defects, should be detected and corrected, in order that the acquirement of an education may become as easy, as agreeable as possible.—Exchange Gamphor for the Future CAMPHOR for the Future. It is estimated that Formosa contains one million camphor trees, some ten thousand down, every day.

They got into an altercation over a woman. Rev. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., is in the city for the week. St. Philip's Episcopal church will observe the greatest of all feast days in the Christian religion when, on the morning of December 25, Christmas day, the doors of the famous edifice of St. Philip's Church will be the public for worship and devotion. Since Cella Coleman, the Afro-American domestic in the home of Dr. Carman, Freeport, L. I., testified against Mrs. Carman during the murder trial, Mrs. Carman has absolutely refused to employ any more servants of her house. The Mother Day Nursery has moved into its new home, 32 W. 132rd street, where it is prepared to care for the children of mothers who must go out to work to support the family. The Mother A. M. E.

There was great rejoicing among the members and friends of St. James' Presbyterian church, caused by the laying of the cornerstone for a new edifice now in course of construction on 137th street near Lenox avenue, for the congregation. Rev. W. R. Lawson, the pastor, performed the simple ceremonies. Fight for Rights Sayer Valley. Dr. Owen M. Waller, a strong advocate of the race, in his address at the first annual dinner of the Citizen's Club of Brooklyn, aroused the members of that civic organization by declaring that moral cowardice holds the race down. He says that individually and collectively we should fight every form of discrimination that confronts us and content for our constitutional rights and privileges. Dr. R. C. Ransom recently addressed the meeting of the National Equal Rights Institute, as declared, as President Wilson told the Trotter committee, that the Afro-American people had made a mistake for voting for him in 1912, they would correct the mistake in 1916.

Cummins, now serving four years in Sing Sing for diverting the funds of the Carnegie Trust Co. --- THIS CHICKEN WELL DRESSED Idaho Bldd Haa Ya Full-Drea Flannel Coat Cost to Be Proud of It. The proudest chicken in Boise lives on West State street. The bird has no medals for pedigree, no certificates for being a champion layer, no diplomas for good behavior, or unusual size. Yet without any of these attainments, this fowl is the observed of all observers. Citizens go blocks out of their way to see the bird, which struts with pride before them. This fowl claims the distinction of being the only bird in Boise to possess a swallow-tail overcoat. Its owner takes a personal interest in all her hens, and it was with some concern that she noticed during the summer that one of the late spring chickens failed to develop any feathers on its back. When the cool evenings came on last fall the bird seemed to feel the cold, and its owner made from an old flannel shirt a unique coat, modified to fit the bird with a coat to speak of, but plenty of back and tail. Slits were arranged for the bird's wings, and the fowl seems to others in the coop to be particularly proud of the costume. Tales of Progress: The "aluminum that is as hard as steel," has been invented again. This time the inventor is an Australian, and the claims made for his discovery certainly do not err on the side of modesty. in addition to superior hardness, he announces that his new alloy can be welded and soldored, has a high tenille strength, and is noncorrosive. This last quality, of course, belongs to all forms of the metal. The world will look on such claims with a skeptical eye, and yet, they represent the goal toward which the world is moving. Sooner or later, by a sudden discovery or a long series of aluminum will be made to do most of the work on iron and steel. Aluminum has many advantages; it is light in weight, it does not rust, it is found everywhere and in inexhaustible quantities. Every clay bank is a mine of it. In Seventh friendship. The parting of friends united by sympathetic tastes, always painful; unless their sympathy united, they had much better never meet—Bend- min Dierell.

John Beilow had always hated the sea. Never had he crossed the ocean and he hoped he never would. So how he had a conviction that the sea hold some vast secret, when tragedy or comedy, he knew not, he feared to test its power. Now, however, the stress of business forced him either to take a quick trip or lose a great contract. Belle cursed his race and made burried preparation for the voyage. There was nothing worse in his estimation than to be literally throw into an appallingly close proximity to a thousand strange people and to eat, sleep and spend every hour of the day with those same people. However, all his fears were in way minimized when the great sailor smoothly out and past Sara Hook. A cursory glance over the people on deck told him that they were a harmless enough looking crowd and not lacking in a variety of attractive girls. Much to his amazement he realized that the soft motion of the boat, the water and the rhythmic chirp of the ship would him a sense rest such as the noise of the city he never offered him. He went behind and sought a typifier. The sea-going stenographers were for the moment all engaged, and Bellew was obliged to wait until one was free to take his letters. When finally a cotton broker came out of the office nearest Bellew he stepped in and gazed blankly at the girl sitting at her typewriter. "I am muttered." "I see now what so much business is done on shipboard. Gee whiz—what a beauty!" "Did you say anything?" Sally Parker looked straight into Bellew's eyes. "I want to dictate some letters," he said more or less gruffly. "Aro you not feeling well?" Sally asked with a peculiarly irritating sweetness. "I am so sorry for people who can't stand the sea. Perhaps if letters could wait you will feel better in the same day makes such a difference." "I will write them now," Bellew said, and Sally put paper in her machine without another word. The dictating went on smoothly enough, and when the letter was finished and another one started, Bellew found himself smiling inwardly. Bellew led his daughter to a girl like Sally was going to see her. When Liverpool was reached she seemed to disappear with maddening swiftness from the wharf. Bellew cursed his fate, and the moment he stepped from the gangplank he lived only for the moment when he would again step on it. He called him self every kind of a fool for falling in love with a seafaring stenographer. His business in Liverpool proved a flattering success, and when he again went up the gangplank to board the ship it was with a starringly cool pair of knees and a heart that beat with painful rapidity. "I would be sorry for myself if love came to me more than once in a lifetime if this is the way it bowls one over to me. He looks a short man. "That girl won't listen to me—it will be all up with yours truly." Sally was at her post in the type-writing office and she looked up with a most charming smile when Bellew stood beside her. "I want you to take down a letter immediately," he said. "Dear," dictated Bellew, "darling—Girl of the Sea—" "This letter is rather of a private nature—" suggested Sally looking in a fashion at Bellew. "I love you," continued the young man and watched with delight the color that leaped into Sally's cheeks "If you won't try to return my love I shall jump—". "I wouldn't do anything desperate," Sally interrupted with a soft laugh. "It delays the trip when lifeboats have to be lowered to fish for people who act foolishly." "It wouldn't be acting foolishly," Bellew said with more feeling than he thought himself capable of. "Life wouldn't be worth a farthing to me if you refuse me—Sally—please don't re-love me." he pleaded me boyish. "I did not say I intended to refuse," she told him. "Wonderful thing—the ocean." Bellew murmured. le murmured. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspa- "Beautiful." "How glad I am," purred the visitor, "that your daughter has made such an excellent match." Mrs. Sruz smiled, in the gratified manner, and the campaigner, "Yes well, Madge has married well—very well," she answered, complacently. "But what a pity," pursued she of the catty instinct, "that he has such a peculiar name—Fussenmuck, isn't suited impersonately. "Yeen, greed the other indifferently." "Hateful don't you think so?" "I haven't thought about the sound of it," declared Mrs. S.—, whose feelings had been eradicated in the struggle for existence, "but I know that it's got a perfectly beautiful appearance on a check!" Too Short or Accurate Pax High for Opium In the market of Lhasa opium is said to be sold for its weight in silver. Turkeya In Hawaii In the mountainous districts of Hawaii wild turkeys are very numerous, and form an important resource for the wandering camper. They are, of course, imported American turkeys zone wild. Some of the stockmen liberated domestic turkeys, and they promptly took to a bold life and are thriving excellently, their only foe apparently being the mongoose, which ultimately will prove their 'unduling.' This simply shows how readil, domestic stock harks to wild life when given an opportunity. TRAINING LEFT HAND RESULTS HAVE NOT BEEN A3 ANTI-PATED. Possibility of a Second Speech-Center Was Considered, but Experiments Have Destroyed That Hope, According to Physicians. Some time ago the development of left-handedness children was warmly advocated by various persons, not only because in this way reliance could be placed on both upper extremities for mechanical work which would undoubtedly be of advantage in case of serious disturbance of the functions of the right arm, but also because the left arm is the only arm by which the left arm a second speech center might develop in the right hemisphere of the brain in the same way as the well-developed right arm corresponds with the speech center place in the left half of the brain. The Berlin physician, M. Frankel, was especially active in the advocacy of this idea—in fact, experiments in this direction were undertaken in various localities. The practical results which have been so far reported do not correspond to any degree to the optimistic expectations of the advocates of the method, says the Journal of the American Medical Association. Doctor Schafer; on the basis of permission granted by the school deputation, collected statistics with reference to the left-handedness among about 18,000 pupils of the Berlin public schools. These statistics show that per cent of all the children are left-handed, 55 per cent of all the boys and 2.98 per cent of the girls. The percentage of children in whom hands are equally developed is very small, being only 21 per cent. The overwhelming majority, 95.78 per cent of all the children, are distinctly right-handed. In several school districts, among 448 teachers, there were ten who were left handed. L. Katscher's work on "Training the Left Hand" was the theoretical basis for the exercises to train the left hand. They included exercises in writing, arithmetic manual training and gymnastics; especially in the last two systematic efforts were made. In general, the result showed that the possibility of employing the bitherto unadjusted hand was achieved and marked interest, but the physical awkwardness generally was a great hindrance. The outcome of the whole experiment shows that in no case could a preference for the left hand be developed. It may be trained to be a welcome assistant to the right hand, but it may not be able to teach writing the complaint is made of a destruction of the gesthetic sense and a deterioration of the hand-writing. The children refused to write with the left hand, became nervous and worried over it, and increased intellectual development was in no case an opinion was unanimous that the advantages stood in no relation to the expenditure of time, space and patience. Enormous Rainfall in Hawaii. The rainfall on the island of Hawaii varies greatly, ranging from the enormous downpour of 353 inches a year in the upper Walpiio valley to 20 inches on some of the slopes of Huaifai. The only surface streams on the island are a narrow, northeast coast between Hilo and Kohala. Water river, according to the United States geological survey, is the largest stream on the island and has been partly developed for irrigation. At Kapoho, on the east point of the island, warm water flows from seams in the rocks. These "warm springs" flow into a pool about 100 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 20 feet deep. The pool is entirely surrounded by rocks and its color varies in shade from a beautiful blue to violet. Waipape, or Green Lake, a body of fresh water in the pit of an island. This lake covers an area of about acres and is fed by springs below the surface. A pumping plant takes water from this lake for domestic use and for irrigation. "White Gold." When silver was first discovered it was thought to be "white gold." It is not known just when gold was first used by man as ornament and coin, but 4,400 years ago the people of the far East and in the countries of northern Africa made most exquisite jewelry out of gold and precious stones. Silver was used for wrought ornaments has never been used and modern man has learned from them in technical skill. Gold as used in the early times was probably found in the form of nuggets, as the ancients would hardly have noticed it in any other form. They hammered it by hand and gave it a most beautiful polish. Silver was not discovered for a long time after gold was in use in man's countries, and when it was discovered silver was thought to be a form of gold, and it came to be known as "white gold." The discovery of copper soon followed that of silver, and then in succession came tin, zinc and lead. New System of Sterilization. Nice, France, has recently adopted a new system of sterilization for its drinking water. The water is sterilized in use with ozone, which is produced in the generator consists of copper plates between which are glass sheets, and the air between the plates is decomposed by a silent discharge at 17,000 volts pressure. The decomposed air is drawn by suction fans through a purifier which eliminates the nitrogen compounds, and therefore the ozone is conducted to a chamber into which the water flows. The water passes through a layer of gravel on a wire netting, and falls into the chamber in the form of a heavy rain. The ozone extracted by having the water fall on stone steps. The water is the absolutely free of germs. There are plants at Nice, one with an output of 40 gallons per second, and the other with an output of 80 gallons. What They Escaped "Mamma, do you think it is true, as papa says, that teachers do not have to work as hard now as they did when he went to school?" "I expect it is." "What do you suppose the reason is?" Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wear, but the used key is always bright—Benjamin Franklin. Italian cigar-Lighter. In a country village in Italy, Popular Mechanics tells us, we may see a slowly burning piece of rope supported on an iron stake; in a position just outside a cigar store suggests the use the smoker is to make it. It is a crude cigar lighter, but certainly as suitable as the wooden Indian still used as a sign for a tobacco store. Costly Cottage. "Could you be satisfied with love in a cottage, dearest?" sighed the poor young man. "Certainly I could." responded the girl, who really loved him. "But there must be a breakfast room, a music room, parquet floor, and a big marble fireplace in the front hall."-Louisville Courier-Journal. Power in the Truth. If you tell the truth, you have infinite power supporting you; but if not, you have infinite power against you—Charles George Gordon. EXTRAVAGANT LIVING. 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 until it is too late. The time to save money is when you are making it, and you can do it. You can promised rainy day when you will be in dire need of it. Colleagues 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 twenty years ago the coloured people owned a piece of property for a 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 today and be a home owner. You can have a plan whereby you can make your rent money buy you a home.

ENGLISH IN RACE TO WIN FOR ALDERMAN Candidate Is a Regular Republican and Submits His Cause to the Judgment of the People—11 Nominated and Elected Will Work for the Interests of His Constituents of the Second Ward—Campaign Waged on High Grounds—Will Fight for the Winner. The candidacy of Louis B. Anderson for alderman of the second ward has stirred the tired people from one end of the ward to other. The Defender, since Mr. Anderson announced his candidacy through these columns, has been in receipt of hundreds of letters making inquiries regarding his platform, pledges, plans and generally in relation to the sentiment of the voters toward him. With view of getting direct from Candidate Anderson an expression ante these inquiries, a representative of the Defender called on him, and after receiving him a number of letters received by the editor in relation to his campaign, asked him for a statement. "It is gratifying to know," said Mr. Anderson, "that my candidacy for alderman of the second ward has been responsible for awakening the people to a sense of realization that the primaries are essentially the people's forum, and that through this medium they, and not any delegated few, must determine who shall be the party standard bearer at the general elections. If any one will take Hon. Louis B. Anderson, People's Choice for Alderman, Second Ward. the time to consult the journal of the Illinois legislature during the session which enacted our present primary law and read the speeches reflecting the sentiment behind the framers of that law, he or she will have no difficulty in concluding that such action as previous party organization prerogative would be the spirit and purpose of the primary to express expression of every citizen in the selection of the candidate to be voted for at the election, was the avowed intent of the primary law and I apprehend that the disastrous results which have been the recent history of Republican candidates chosen with such reckless disregard of the spirit, if not of the law, may be said to be traceable directly to the fact that the people's rights were so ruthlessly disregarded. "I am particularly anxious that my candidacy be not misunderstood. In the first place, I vigorously resent any accusation that I am not a regular Republican. No one who has even a passing acquaintance with our present primary law will deny that it is the right thing to submit his cause to the judgment of the people, either for their approval or rejection. To say that because one avails himself of this right which the law guarantees, is irregular or obstructive, is tantamount to saying that the particular law in question, is to be applied only in the manner and form that a select few may direct or decree. Substantially, this law is not present in the democratic contest, so far as it relates to the Negro people. In my judgment, although some disagree with me, the province and functions of the party organization are to direct and work for the election of the successful Republican candidate after the primaries, and under no circumstances insist that the voters must be limited in their choice to the one of the two candidates, if it is wrong, and by no process of reasoning can such a position, in the light of the law, be intelligently defended. "Now as to those inquiries regarding my platform and plans. I might cover the first with the simple statement that if in the wisdom of the people it is decided on primary day that I am the choice, and should on election day this choice be approved, I shall give the office and its duties the best that is in to me, to the end that it will be used with efficiency, honesty and the high degree of courage so necessary in official life where the interests of those of my race are concerned. As to my plans in the campaign, I do not think it would comport with my modicum of good sense to furnish the ammunition with which to charge the batteries of our friends—the enemy. One thing, however, I want to say with all the vigor and force of which I am the best that is in to me, to the end that my campaign that when the battle is over, and the smoke has cleared should I not be successful, I will not have said or done anything that will prevent my enjoying the ranks of the successful leader, and fight with the same terrific force for him, as I am now fighting for myself. I don't think that any sense or sensible person can, or will, find any fault with my attitude, and right started in this fight with clearer minds, and with the aid of the AIPowerful I propose to come out the same way."

Practically all inhabited sections of the Beyer district, Norway, can be reached by boat, and as a large percentage of both freight and passenger traffic is by water, there are at least ten motor boat, for every motor car.

He is active in every organization and effort for the betterment of the race and through his influence the Walters' Association meets in the club's auditorium. The people of Detroit are proud of this progressive citizen, but none more so than the waiters and bellboys at the various hotels, who find in him the constant friend and adviser.

On the Captain's Deck It is hard to imagine the skipper or British man-of-war sleeping on the desk of his ship between a couple of his siskers, but this has happened in the American navy. That teetotal navy in the most free and easy of any in the world, but the most surprised even the American stoker it happened on Santaga during the blockade on Commodore Soley's flagship. Brooklyn. No lights were allowed to be shown from the ships at night, and, as this meant all portholes shut, the temperature below decks was unbeatable. Every man who could slept on deck, the skipper among them. This officer laid himself down one night on his quarterdeck to snatch a few hours' rest. He was awakened in the dawn, says the Mirror, by hearing a sleepy voice next to him to a companion. Darned if it isn't the captain. And, opening eyes, he saw two of his stokers rise up suddenly from his side and disappear swiftly forward. -Tit-Bits. Apes Can't Twiddle Their Thumbs. The gorilla and chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they cannot do—that is, twiddle their thumbs. In the gorilla the thumb is short and does not much touch the bed of the first joint of the forefinger. It is very much restricted in its movements, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs nor turn them round so that the tips describe a circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of the gorilla as in the hand of a man, but the thumbs of a man have no separate flexor or bending muscle that monkey always keeps the thumb on the same side as the fingers, and never bends it round any object that he may grasp. Concerning Pneumonia The pneumonia season has arrived. Not because the weather is colder. Arctic explorers do not get pneumonia until they return to "civilization." Not because of raw winds from the lake, though these chill the body and thereby reduce resistance to the disease. Pneumonia comes at this season because people close doors and windows to keep out cold air, and thereby condemn themselves to breathe the foul air in which the deadly pneumococcus rejoices and multiplies. Keep your houses and offices as warm as you like. Americans are accustomed to warm rooms and work with them to make a sudden change. But see that the place where you live and work has plenty of fresh air. A closed window shuts sickness in, not out. West Shipping by Way of Canal. Since the Panama canal was opened there have been a few surprises, especially in the source of some of the freight shipped by that route. The Scientific American notes that a considerable proportion is coming from as far west as Ohio, being sent to New York by rail for shipment through the canal to San Francisco. As an instance of this 15,000 tons of oil ship, we were shipped in this way from York. It would have cost 65 cents a hundredweight to send it by all rail; it cost 48 cents a hundredweight by way of New York and the canal. From Indiana canned corn is being sent to the Pacific coast through the canal and from Alabama, via New Orleans, cast iron pipe is going. No Expense Attached. No Expense Attached.

The notion that we are in some ound to defend an independent Philippine government is weakening, ‘The quicker it is wholly disposed of the better concerned. : he foregoing editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune of ber 26, 1914. ‘The editorial is open to serious objections not cause it undertakes to discuss great international questions being definitely informed, but as well because it lacks the n spirit for justice and freedom and indorses: the baleful that “might makes right.” That such an editorial should in the Tribune, known throughout the world for fairplay ogress, is a great surprise to many of its readers. It is not ry to say that information concerning Liberia from English aneh sourtes, for atleast 25 years, has been colored by the ig desired of these powers to secure complete possession of vtertitory. Beginning in 1883 and ending in 1912, England ncein turn have deprived Liberia of one strip of valuable ter another, with manufactured pretexts more plausible than te ‘now proposed for Liberian absorption. La Marquise de noy, Sir Harry Johnston, nor any other of the political or ercial representatives of either England or France can be upon to give tlie facts in the Liberian situation as they really Che editorial not only indorses old diplomatic ruses, that have go been worn out in Monrovia in securing the Liberian lands y obtained, but it falls down on its information as to the le of the Taft administration toward Liberia. The editor is se mistaken.as to the establishment of Liberia, which instead += founsled by Negroes, was established by the people|of the States of America, through the American Colonization So- 1d the American Government. It is equally open to objec- sause it attempts to compare Liberia with what lie calls fegro communities in the south, And in so far as the editor the absorption of Liberia because of what he considers the are in that country, it is very evident that more knowl- ‘She subject would have added very materially to the value ‘cussion. ‘ _-.

By the masses in this iere;among thé:firstto champion their cause.’"Today “Tagpay fred jient our homes and places ‘of business TSS "Shige very. consideration moral atid’ fitaticial, snow profess, we have a sada ES : bfaelés;: both of whichjhave been; ae Sige so Mehler oae made Ay the dominant race, and made with a view of after-life segregation, but fortunately man proposes.and God disposes. If we bflieve in the teachings of the Good Book, and most people do or sy they do, it takes a vivid stretch of imagination to believe a mag or a woman can be as they profess, a good Christian and treat ong of God's children in a way they would not treat a brute, simply bgeause they differ in the color of the skin. Beautiful churches are gfected where these of the Holy Spirit go to worship their exclusive jod and incidentally display their costly raiment, to the envy.of their less fortunate neighbor. Here may be emblazoned across the entrance in electric lights, the word “Welcome,” and yet what a misnomer it is, what a lie. If proof of the assertion is needed let a dark face seck admission, he who jn sackcloth and ashes comes to enter the fold. Perhaps the suave usher seats him, after some hesi- ‘taney, in an obscure corner of the auditorium, He receives not the glad hand and the few cheery vords of the popular pastor as.he files out after the beautifully modern services are over, but he wends his way slowly and thoughtfully homeward. Even though he be a Christian, thoughts bitter will arise, he vows never to darken the door of this particular church. As time rolls on he finds this ex. perience repeated both in the Protestant and Catiiolic churches ; not, in all bat in many. “True, he has churches of his own, but ofttimes they are miles away and inaccessible, If it is true that we are now living in the age of the highest civilization, and this civilization countenances and partially justifies cold blooded and brutal mur ders, let us turn back to the age of barbarism when no justification was needed for such acts. The Salvation Army and every other religious body that has not.the Golden Rule for a foundation has little excuse for its existence. . THE NEW YEAR. WHAT OF THE NEW YEAR 1915, does it hold joy or sor- row? We look back over the dying year and realize that life is only joys and sorrows mingled li'se the rainbow rays,,and the ever-bright tomorrows all too soon are yesterdays, Experience is a good teacher but'a very dear one, ‘the mistakes you have made you perhaps will never make again, the opportunities you have lost should they pre- sent themselves again, you will grasp. Age Brings wisdom only when ore is ina receptive state. About you can be found young Ee and women idling their precious time away, throwing to the. witds the chances that might make them fame and fortune, drift- ing like drones, with the tide if the morrow brings sunshine or rain, little caring. ‘This is the class of improvidents that in after years fill up our old people's homes, the county poor farms and drain the panes of charitable organizations. A great deal of the blame for this condition of affairs can’ be laid at the doors of the mothers and fathers, Every child rich or poor shouldbe made to learn a trade of some kind, more than one if possible. Industrial training in our public schools is solving this problem—thanks-to Booker T. Wash- ington—of late years in a very satisfactory way. ‘The-head and ‘the hand is being trained simultaneously. A boy or jirl with this sort of training will never be a ward on the charitable. Today yoting mien are used in every branch of business, it is the age of specialty. You must be just a little better than your fellow work- man at the mill to be raised to the superintendency, just a little more progressive railroad superintendent to become general man- ager, and soon down the line. The fellow who works by the clock never amounts to much, ‘Time makes little difference when there is something to be accomplished. The New Year holds everything ior you that you have made up your mind to have, what appears to be stumbling blocks may prove to be stepping stones. ,Cheerfulness and a sunny disposition are valuable assets. Let the other fellow frown, smile even under adversities, put the best there is in you into your work, forget the past, live only for the future and when the last ember of 1915 has burned to ashes you will realize that life after | all is what you make it. MUNICIPAL DANCES. O CLASS OF PEOPLE « rican and many of their leis \sure, but we fear the munic cclusive benefit will find li eraentoun bit mismubded nec PERHAPS NO CLASS OF PEOPLE enjoy dancing more than the Afro-American and many of their leisure hours are spent in this form of"pleasure, but we fear the municipal dances that are planned for our exclusive benefit will find little favor with the masses. A few overzealous but misguided people labor under the impression that Chicago is below the Mason and Dixon line and we are a necessary nuisance that must be reckoned with when money from the public till is to be taken. Up to the present writing we have asked for no exclusive favors, want and'demand the privi- lege of attending any public dance that is given in the neighbor- hood in which we reside. No “Jim Crowism” will be countenanced, rather we dispense with this proffered pleasure than receive some- thing that is already ours, with a string on it. We object and ob- ject seriously to designating dances given in a certain locality as “Negro Dances.” Other districts where Poles, Bohemians, Ger- mans, Jews and Irish reside in great numbers are not so designated, why should we enjoy this distinction? ‘There is but one answer and that answer only makes every race loving man more determined to sacrifice his all for the benefit of the race with which he is identi- fied. We want the public dances, yes, the same, as we want every right and privilege that every other citizen wants, but we do not want it so badly that we would sacrifice our manhood to get it. CONLY MUST DIE BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. ‘The man with the gold is the man that must go free in the Conly-Frank case, Conly must pay the death penalty for a crime committed by another, not because of his guilt, but because he is BLACK, and belongs to a race of SHEEP who will nof strike back even though their very daughters are taken from them and out- raged before the very eyes of their fathers. Conly MUST DIE because he has not a government that will protect him from insults of foreigners in his home land, where, perhaps, his father died for the preserving of the Union, or who had fought on the Confederate side, CONLY MUST DIE because perhaps his mother brought forth a bastard child for her master; because she was no more tian a dog in his (the master’s) sight. CONLY MUST DIE because there is not a voice in all of Christ’s churches that has been raised to protect him, as the man on the other side has had. This man must die because the standing of his race is measured not by men of letters but by the PLOW MEN and the cotton field hands., The White man of Georgia who at first craved the Jewish blood, has receded and is now craving Negro blood; the Jéw has him in a CRACK—hang Frank and the money market is squeezed. The burden shifts and the chances are now niie out of ten Conly will be CRUCIFIED to answer for the death of the-Faghan girl. The United States Government does not seem to care if he is hung. ‘The Defender asks for each-side a fair trial for we believe that each man is worth his weight in gold to this, government, Some one is guilty. The people of Georgia say Frank; the Jews ‘say Conly. ‘The girl is dead, who killed her? yee, AN UNPOPULAR ADMINISTRATION.” - WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE CRY, “Thank God for Wil- son”? of rather where have the eryers disappeared to?, Newspapers all over the country are drifting slowly but surely away from the Big Chief, taking a slap'here and there at his slipshod administra- tion, “Teddy Roosevelt writes in letters large eniough so those who run may read and there.is a-decided sentiment arjsing against the policy he is peisuing. .
