A GOOD HUSBAND SHOULD MAKE A GOOD ALDERMAN A GOOD HUSBAND SHOULD MAKE A GOOD ALDERMAN Mrs. Louis B. Anderson, Wife of Candidate for Alderman of the 2nd Ward, Is Persuaded by Reporter to Give Her Views on Requirements of Man for That Office. HOME LIFE ONLY GUIDE. Knows Nothing of Political Game, But Believes Husband Would Bring to Office All of the Virtues That So Conspicuously Characterize His Life at Home. That discussion on the aldermanic quarrel in relation to her husband made it given to the band mike of the Defender called B. Anderson at her residence, 282a avenue, and asked her to be interviewed. At first Mrs. Anderson was reluctant about talking for publication, contending, to use her own words, "I know very little about politics." "This might seem strange in view of the fact that my husband is such an active participant in what is commonly called the political game." "What kind of an alderman do you think your husband would make in event of his nomination and election?" queried the Defender's representative. Home Life Standard. "I could only estimate Mr. Anderson in a position of that kind from my knowledge of him at home," replied Mrs. Anderson. "If that is to be my standard of measurement, then I would not hesitate to say that he would make one of the best aldermen of the city, but I could not conceive of his doing anything official capacity that would not comport in the highest degree with his splendid traits of identity, kindness and abiding faith in his family and home." Seventeen Years Good Test. "Of course," she continued, "you will understand that I could not feel other than that he would bring to the office of alderman all of the virtues that have so conspicuously characterized his life at home. I believe that after seventeen years of married life I am a very good position to know what life off—then he is. It is frequently said that what he conduct would be his conduct at home has been. This audard in my judgment is an excellent one, and I am willing to apply a test to Mr. Anderson." Her Only Wish. I think what I have said regarding husband is shared in every sense all the members of our family and they were asked the question that have asked me with regard to his act as an alderman, should he beinated and elected, I think they I saw of and about him the same way I saw him. I have dislikes any activity on the part of her husband which keeps him so much away from home, but I have come to feel that if he can be helpful to the race if no matter what sphere of activity, I am willing to make the sacrifice that his frequent absence from home and family entails. There is just one wish that I have in connection with his effort in this contest and that is, that he will not become involved in personal bitterness which may live after it is all over. I know one thing that is that that is what he has driven hard and I believe that when it is all over matter what the outcome, he will feel as kindly towards his opponents as he did before the contest began."

FEATURES DON'T COUNT. Case of Mrs. Alma Little of Detroit Brings Forth Statement From Famous Anthropologist—All Black People Not Negroes—Thick Lips and Kinky Hair in All Races. Blood tests will not determine the racial origin of human life. This statement is positive. Science has a last taken a definite stand. Its highest authority has spoken. These statements are occasioned by the case of Mrs. Alma Shatters of 1619 Peachtown Campus avenue, Detroit, Mich., whose husband in using for a divorce claimed that she had Negro blood in her veins. The frantic woman appealed to Prof. Boaz, the noted anthropologist at Columbia University, and that noted authority in summing up her case says: Pure Whites Have Kinky Hair. Pure Whites Have KIRKY Hair. "We know that the present races of men are the descendants of the three sons of Noah. They have therefore some of the same characteristics. It is known that they have the blood in their veins fail any of the said characteristics. Yet on the other hand we will find many pure whites with kinky hair, some with dark skin, others with white skin and flat nose and thick lips. The way things went in the last generation in the South it is highly impossible to know which is which, and the way things are going on right now among those that are fairer and the whites it will be still harder and will in run of time put the people up against a rough by proposition if they try to draw from their own by means of color what they cannot prove by blood. Mixed marriages do not prove that only the unfavorable conditions and characteristics of the darker race remain. Intermarriages Centuries Old. He further says that no white man can prove whether or not he is married to one of his own race. Moreover science goes to prove that in Europe where mixed marriages have been approved, and in Africa these marriages have been going on for ages, that there must be thousands of people right here in America that have blood in them from their remote ancestors as none were on this continent when Columbus landed. Most of the earlier settlers were from France and Spain. In prehistoric times there lived a race in the southern part of France that resembled the Negro and yet they are not of African origin because they originated in Europe. Scientists Can't Tell. Therefore a man or woman may have the characteristics of the purest white blood and yet have a strain of the African or Chinese race in their blood and it would not show until it would crop out in their children or children. Science frankly confesses the utility to determine the purity of a person's blood. Prof. Boaz again says: "It is impossible to settle the question on any one feature, because as every one knows, you often find among certain races one or more features of entirely different races, yet you would be unable to determine whether the question had the blood in his veins of the nation or race which he favors."

Feb. 12—The Eastman crew arrived from Chicago and St. Louis last week, and after three days of cleaning up, opened Saturday with their usual ball.

Wilson, formerly at the Arlington, was promoted from second waiter to head, and Mr. Thomas Hopkins to second, and a strong staff of officers and waiters to support him. Mr. Hopkins has many friends in this city who wish him a great success, and it is generally known among them who know him that he has a big heart and is generous of his means, and kind. Mr. Dai J. J.

WHITE GIRLS MUST NOT WORK WITH JAPS OR AFRO-AMERICANS Race Question to Come Up in Montana Senate When Senator Willett Fathers Bill Prohibiting the Employment of Males of African and Asiatic Races with Females of White Race. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Bob Mont. Feb. 12.—There will be unusual interest in the sessions of the state state at Hope from this time on by reason of the fact that the color question has been injected into affairs. Wednesday, January 27, Senator Lefteri of Mineral county served notice that he would introduce a bill prohibiting the employment of males of the African or Asiatic races with females of the white race. It is said that this bill is aimed at the Chinese and Japanese restaurants where white girls are employed as waitresses. Chizens Promptly Protest. Just write the Afro-American is to be included in measure no one can explain, but the reasonable members of the race have lost due in entering their protest against it. The announcement had hardly been made before the daily newspapers were bombed with letters denouncing the proposed bill. Much to their credit they have been generous in their space and the indignant citizens have denounced the proposed bill in no uncertain terms. Among the first to protest was Rev. C. A. Raulston, pastor of Church. No Afro-American Employed. Considerable publicity was given to the following letter, signed by Lucius Clifford, Rev. C. A. Raulston and Rev. Bem Reed: "Please allow us space in your valuable paper to enter a protest to the bill to be introduced in the state state of Helena by Senator James of Mineral county, Montana, to prohibit Negro males from running with females of the white race.

(Special to Chicago Defender.) Decatur, Ill., Feb. 12—With a view of placing the Afro-American citizenship of Decatur on a higher level in civic as well as political activities the Colored Men's Civic League of Decatur has been organized by several of the leading men. The format of this organization was started last fall and has finally been perfected and elected. The organization started with thirty-five members, and it is expected many more will be added soon. The object of the organization, as stated in the preamble, is to gain a better standing for the race, as it is believed that certain members of the race have caused the many good opportunities to be jeopardized. The men of the new organization feel that they want to contribute their just share to all activities.

Washington, D. C, Feb. 12.—In the current issue of the Washington Sun, John W. Lewis writes as follows: Editor of The Sun: Yours of the 27th inst., with clippings from the Washington Post, asking me for an expression in regards to the separate cars for the Negroes in the District of Columbia, has received and made with care. In reply, I would say I am opposed to the bill, but will perhaps say more along that line later. If statements are true, as have been published by the press of the country, I cannot see what time our statesmen on the "Hill" have to "air" them, telling the country what kind of race the Negroes must ride in in the District of Columbia. Nickel Subject for Oratory. With business all over this country paralyzed, brought on by a tariff bill pretending to raise the high cost of living; a currency bill on the statute books not altogether satisfactory to the financiers; the country忙着 assessed for a war tax that nobody understands; with a war going on some 3,000 miles away; with a deficiency in the treasury department already $70,000,000; with a shipping bill now before the Senate waiting for its passage, which, if passed, might bring, serious international trouble for this country, with Mexico making us spend many elephants might wondering what their next business will be with all the above-mentioned problems, yet unsolved, still some of our statesmen are willing to sacrifice the few days Congress is to remain in session and take up the time "airing" themselves about where the Negro should ride in street cars after he pays his nickel. Jobs Are At Stake. I believe that the parties in power, after smashing every plank in the Baltimore platform they had in it of any importance, have finally looked around for another, and they couldn't find it, so they have made a substitute plank and divided it into two parts—one part to work in the North and the other part to work in the South. In the North, it is "Down with the Trusts, Small up the Corporations!" "Fill the with idleness!" In the South, "Down with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amounts! Humilize the Negro, or else we can't get back to Congress!" Uncle Sam and the Ant. Looking at the condition of the country as I do, I have about reached the conclusion that were I an artist I would draw a picture with Russia, Japan, France and Austria all sitting around the table, counsellors of war; leaving the picture a messenger boy to the field generals and the general giving orders to his army to take session of this country; and then I would picture Uncle Sam, sitting on a log, with a club in his hand, beating an ant; and I would write underneath the ant the word, "Negro."

Porters Are Proud of Paper. A railroad port of Chicago feels proud of a paper that does big things, and he shows it to a friend or an acquaintance in some other clique; it's appreciated there, and goes the same way.

Their praise is best attested by the number of tears from readers from all sections and the comment of other publications. Circulation Manager Pleased. While news stands are increasing their orders, and new ones coming in daily, the subscription list is jumping with a mighty whop. Phil Jones, the circulation manager, is highly gratified with the new subscribers, not only a Ghanaian, but throughout the country.

Agents write that the Defender is on the job when it comes to prompt replies to all letters. With the paper on sale at Chiring Road, London, England, the Defender is almost everywhere in the big cities in the United States, the Defender is truly forging ahead. Hats Off to Railroad Men.

You are welcome to the first ball given in the new Armory, 35th and 36th floor, and the installation. Biggest military assemblage ever witnessed in this country. Fireproof Wood.

Stir again and add three ounces of water. For three coats will keep wood fireproof for many months. Real Race Leader, Editor Chris B. Anderson I want to add my personal thanks to you for the masterly way your paper has treated this aldermanic situation. I am proud of you and of us like such as could not be obtained from any other person. Put me down in the list of those who believe that Mr. Louis B. Anderson would win the race, and the race winners in the second ward. His record for efficiency and proven ability has made me hope that the great majority of our people will see this situation from the view of the city council as distinguished from mere race representation.

The flying pins are fixed in a buoy, which floats a few feet beneath the surface of the water, and above the explosive reservoir. An electric cable runs from the anchor, beneath the bottom, to the shore station. When a pin is driven into the boboy, it once falls to ring or a light to flash in the electrostation, warning the observer on duty that a vessel is passing over a mine. The observer thereupon closes the firing circuit and the mine explodes. If you want to see the pretty dances into the boboy by the best music—be sure to listen in the new Eighth Regiment Armory, 35th and Forest avenue. 4 MILWAUKEE, WIS.

This society meets once a month and proves to be not only a brilliant social event but also yery interesting and venef- cial. A paper is usually read by the host and discussed by the members. This became Dr. Plekett’s duty and he chose the very interesting ° subject, “The Uses of Picturitive-Extract in Obstetrical Practice.” , He handled it with such efficiency that all present declared it one of the most interest- ing meetings of the season. Atter the business of the meoting they then re- paired to the beantifully arranged din- ing room where covers were laid for twenty-six, * * Dr. J. R. Harvey lectured to more than two hundred women Sunday afternoon. His talk was very interesting and reached the heart of all present. One of the many good points brought out was how mothers should train’ their girls; an- other was the best way for a girl to conduct herself that she may demand the highest respect of the opposite sex. We only wish that every Afro- American Woman and girl could have been present, * *,¢ The new addition of tho Red” Cross Sanitarlum {s now completed and will open its doors to visitors from Friday to Sunday, This institution deserves much praise.

Alfred Anderson, Associate Editor. ONE ON FATHER. They went for a walk, but it started to rain, So they hiked for her home double quick; It might be a wise thing right here to explain That he with her folks wasn't thick. They slipped into the parlor—unseen as they thought— Not bottied were they about light; And sat down on father, but all father caught Was a kiss and a hurried "good-night." MAKING OPPORTUNITIES. THE UNITED STATES RECRUITING STATIONS have received orders from Adjutant-General Marsh, at Washington, D.C., that they may again enlist US for service in the army. Last November an order was issued just to the contrary. The life of a "regular" is anything but tempting, save for the fellow who has no special ambition and is willing to spend the best part of his life etatating. With our race the prospect of advancement in the military field is not very bright. The high offices are all gobbled up by the whites, and we have the eminent distinction of being one of the under dogs. The Eighth is the only regiment entirely manned by our men, and if the powers needed a concrete example of our capabilities along military lines, they need but turn to the eighth to find a record for efficiency along all lines second to no earlier organization in the country. They are termed—and justly the pride of Illinois. They have been weighed in the balance times, and not found wanting. The argument has been put that we are not capable of managing ourselves—that we must white person at our head. Only the densely ignorant believe many, among our children can be found here and women affected mentally, morally, physically and financially for any position or place open to mortals. We may not have the centuries of civilization behind us, as some of the other races boast of, nor do we crave for it if it will bring us to a point where we can blindfold ourselves and commit the most atrocious crimes without a seeming blush, but we have stability, a steadfastness of purpose to grow big and broad, to be kind and forgiving, to pick out the elevating things and to shun the degrading things. The world stands aghast at the progress we have made in fifty years. We have set a pace but we must live up to our own pace; we have just begun; we cannot afford to rest on our flimsy laurels. What we have done is no more than we should have done. A little praise is a good thing, too much is ruinous. We shouldn't ask the other fellow to help us row our canoe—he has one of his own to row. The survival of the fittest is the keynote in this wide world of ours and we must not expect to be the exception. It may be some time before we can convince the doubters that we are capable of being at the head not only in military affairs, but in every walk of life; but it can be done and it is up to us to prove it. We must stop complaining about not having an opportunity and make one. OUR ALDERMANIC CANDIDATE. THE COTERIE OF CITIZENS who are fighting the Second Ward organization, not because the organization has dealt unfairly with us, but because they are all self-selffemicians who will not submit to leadership, have been pushing the candidacy of Charles Griffin, a gentleman who possesses many admirable qualities and is well thought of in the community, but one whom they know deep down in their hearts has not the qualifications of a representative man and is wholly unfitted for the duties and responsibilities of Alderman. On the other hand, the hue and cry has been raised that Oscar De Priest, who does represent the organization, has not the personal integrity to fill the office creditably, that he aligned himself with the Democratic party and fought to elect Al. Tearney—a man with a reputation that does not bear scrutiny—Alderman, and other things calculated to effectually bar him from receiving the support of the people. Should an incompetent man be sent to represent us in the Council, it would throw us back ten years, as through his ability would the intelligence of every Afro-American in the city be judged. Our brothers are prone to weigh us all by the measure which greets their gaze, and contact, whether it be cook or washwoman, with chauffeur or porter. They see us all through the one particular example, hence it behooves us always to keep only the shining lights in the foreground. In advocating the candidacy of Louis B. Anderson for Alderman, the Defender has been prompted to do entirely upon his record as a lawyer, citizen and a man of affairs whose reputation has stood the acid test of public life. We have too much at stake in this fight to trust our standards in the hands of untried men who have shown no evidence of ability, save being the tools of a clique, whether organization or independent. Will the men and women of the Second Ward fail to do their duty in this contest, which means, more to them individually and to the race at large than any opportunity politically in a lifetime. AN ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND WARD ORGANIZATION reveals the fact that after all this much talked of and heralded institution is just one man. It is composed of fifty men whose appointment is made by the ward committeeman. If any of the entry becomes fractions or displays signs of independence, off goes this official head. Those who have been under the impression that the ward organization was the Republican party will readily accept that they have been under a delusion by which the politicians ONLY A DREAM!

SPEAKER I WILL COST 150,000,000 LETS HEAR FROM ME LETS HEAR FROM THE 2ND WARD THE 2ND WARD WELL THAT! I WANA GO HOME! I'M SCARED!! GRIFFIN AS HE SEES IT SELF PRES RVATIGN. NOTWITHSTANDING THE SUPERIOR FACILITIES we have over other American cities for the care of the sick and afflicted, Chicago has yet much to do in the way of awakening the public conscience to the fact that prevention is far better than cure. The people must be made to realize that health is their best asset, that health stands for comfort, efficiency and a long and useful life, while other hand disease brings poverty, crime, inefficiency and in fact, a diseased race or individual is handicapped in the life. The public conscience can best be aroused through the medium of an educational campaign, in the way of public lectures, through the press, as is being done by Dr. W. A. Evans in the Chicago Tribune, Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams in this paper, and by other prominent doctors and papers. In our schools, where gather daily six hundred thousand young Americans, this health propaganda is being efficiently talked with telling results. The pulpit has been enlisted in this campaign, and often physicians have occupied the pulpit for lectures on health. This is especially apropos because people can best serve God under the influence of fresh air, with healthy body free from pain and disease. Even with all this light there is still abundance of the darkness of ignorance, unhygienic and insanitary conditions to make us heartily unite with this national movement inaugurated by Dr. Booker T. Washington to observe actively "Health Week"—March 21 to 27. Statistics show that right here in the city of Chicago the death rate among the Afro-Americans is from two to three times as great as that of other Americans with but few exceptions; then, too, this high rate of mortality is greatest among the preventable diseases, namely, consumption, organic heart disease, Bright's disease and pneumonia. It is a fact that from thirty to fifty of our infants die between the first and second year of age; the best authorities on health claim that eighty per cent of this high death rate of infants is due to ignorance or neglect and could have been easily prevented. It behooves every man, woman and child to get busy and do their part in reducing this high mortality rate to the minimum. This can best be done by and through united efforts, and one of the agencies that we most heartily recommend, as stated above, is the intelligent and enthusiastic observation of "Health Week." CHANGING CROPS. WHEN THE COTTON CROPS GO AWRY the moans and lamentations from improvident Southern farmers can be heard all over this broad land. In fact, the entire business of the South is crippled. Cotton is the standard of everything; their all depends on the success or failure of the crops. Why they should ask aid and sympathy from those who live in other parts of the country is a conundrum, unless they mean to admit—which is true—that they are not progressive. They have been running along in the same old rut for generations, and it has either been a feast or a famine; never have they struck the happy medium line. The farmer in other sections of the country does not confine himself to one crop. He plants wheat, corn, oats, barley, a variety of vegetables, fruit bearing trees and vines, besides raising live stock enough for his own consumption and to sell. Take it among our own people in the South, for instance: for every dollar's worth of cotton we grow we raise only forty-nine cents' worth of other crops. There are three hundred and twenty thousand farms on which there are no cattle of any kind; two thousand on which no poultry is raised; one hundred and fifty thousand farms grow no oats; five hundred thousand produce no sweet potatoes, and on two hundred thousand farms there are no gardens of any sort. With these conditions it is no wonder the South is a hundred years behind the times. Only in the past few years have they begun to awaken to this fact. The invasion of northern and western farmers in the South has made them open their eyes and, perhaps, from now on they will have diversified crops, so if one fails they will have the others to fall back on. The southland is rich and fertile, and it only requires brains first and brawn afterward to make farming pay. Let us have less whining and more doing from our friends below the Mason and Dixon line. ONE OF OUR WORTHY CONTEMPORARIES, in speaking of a political meeting held in the interest of the aldermanic candidate who is going to lose out, said: "It was a large crowd, and as the evening wore on the crowd became denser and denser." What else was to be expected? AS THE PEOPLE SEE IT STREWING FLOWERS. IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS in life that go to make up either pleasure or pinn, joy or sorrow, happiness or unhappiness. How many heartaches have been caused by what is termed little things. An unkind word thoughtlessly spoken, a slight unpremeditated, or an important deed left undone, has brought deeper pain sometimes than the aches of despair caused by drunkenness or the seemingly overpowering ache that comes with the thought of some dear one who has committed a heinous crime. If we could look behind the curtain in many homes where peace and harmony outwardly prevail, homes that are thought to be ideal, how often would we find deep buried heartaches in the brave ones who are trying to keep their troubles from the eyes of the world. The power is vested in those we love to hurt us the most. Love is sensitive, and the greater the love the deeper the hurt. So many marriages are broken up because one or the other or both participants think it necessary to stop the courtship after the wedding ceremony has been performed; in other words, they see no need of running for a street car after they caught it, the energy and excitement is all in the chase. They forget that the street car, unless handled properly, may break down and be of no service. They forget that their life partner is just as important a member of the firm as they are, that the sight, the frown, the impatient word and the stilled kiss are damaging and destructive factors in the successful carrying on of domestic relations. That a bitter thought can be hugged so closely to the heart that it deadens the sensibilities. No matter what age, we are always boys and girls if we can but make up our minds to believe so. Life is too short to waste time in grieving which might be spent in happiness. Why can't we more often explain as we go, apologize where apology is needed, forgive when forgiveness is necessary, humble ourselves—do anything to heal the love we have wounded. It is well to have pride, but no man or woman lowers themselves by admitting they were wrong or even partially so, and it is so easy to do it when the hurt is first given. To love one another is an idealistic condition we have not reached, but we can be just and spread a few flowers in the pathway of our friends today, for there may not be a tomorrow. A FOOL LAW: THE OKLAHOMA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES recently passed what is known as a "Landlord's Lien Bill," a measure which is patterned after an archaic statute in vogue in the Southern States. The general purpose of the measure, which might well be classed under the head of remedial legislation, is to require the tenant to guarantee the rental and insure success at cropping. As the owners of the greater portion of the land in the section of the State which is affected by the bill will not allow the cultivation of anything but cotton on the "patches" that they rent to the miserable tenants, the measure concerns almost exclusively this form of agricultural industry. The landlord has experienced some slight discomforts in the matter of rainfall, holl weevils and other hazards that nature contributes and in order to protect him from these risks the House of Representatives has decided that he should have more protection against the elements of nature and has further decided that the proper agency to afford the protection is the tenant. The average tenant in Oklahoma, and elsewhere, for that matter, is usually wealthy in children and dogs and that is about all, so it takes very little gray matter to figure out how much good it will do the greedy landlord to hold this kind of a tenant. It is too bad our legislative bodies cannot busy themselves with making constructive instead of destructive laws. A little power given to some people is a dangerous thing and very often it is our misguided friends that do us the most harm. Wise was he who said, "What fools we mortals be." During the past we is an ardent advocate, bucket of ten-cent recoopse that they would predicts that in less the same price. After ten-cent band, we will kick in and uphold eye ten-cent line. k a member of the Appomattox Club, who the ten-cent-a-throw phone, took home a s for his graphaphone; laughingly told his finally work down to him, and he further in a year we will be getting lobsters for being what has come to light under the longer disagree with the gentleman; but thing he should fancy to utter along; the EXTRA SPECIAL: FROM EVANS, GA., comes the word that Dr. Culverson, a practicing physician residing about twelve miles from Augusta, was shot to death by citizens at 4 o'clock in the morning, he being charged with an attack on the daughter of the magistrate there. Note carefully the state—Georgia; the crime—attacking a girl; and, above all, note that the victim was WHITE. Surely there must be some mistake—such a thing can't be "did." We are almost tempted to close up shop and take all the working force of this office, including the "war correspondent," go down there and make a personal investigation. Why, if such things are allowed to go on, there won't be enough "prominent citizens" (?) left to form the usual mob, whose duty it is to look after our interests. Perish the thought. DEFINITION OF A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN. A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN is a white (?) man, rich or poor, who keeps black wenches and raises children by them, and who also has a white wife who is afraid to protest against his vicious acts, and who may go out at any time and slay a colored person or persons at will without the State or National governments interfering; or rape a colored woman or girl at will before he slays her, as the white gentleman at Monticello, Ga., did. This is the class of men in America we would call gentlemen. CALIFORNIA, THAT'S ALL! THE STATE FAIR COMMISSIONERS, if quoted correctly, made a statement that Negroes and dogs were not wanted at their fair. If true, we (the Negro) should worry. We care very little for cowards; it is awfully strange they did not mention the Japs in their "not wanted." UNIONS ARE SO INCONSISTENT: they will strike if a foreman tells a brick mason to lay some stone, but when the bakers tell them to pay six cents for a loaf of bread, they look on and grieve; this is the time they should strike for more wages to meet the demands of the flour kings. PRESIDENT WILSON WILL DO quite well to aid the assassins of the South instead of Jews in Poland. Not that we are not kindly disposed to them, but we still believe that a man should provide for his own family before he does another. THE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION liberated a number of deer in the mountains and in the woodlands in other parts of Kentucky recently. Kentucky has nothing on the "Stroll," where nightly can be found hundreds of game dears. THE "WALRUS WIGGLE" is one of the new dances now in popular favor, and it is all that its name implies. There is one thing certain: unless this fad for eccentric dances wanes, we will have a country full of contortionists and acrobats. POLITICALLY SPEAKING, Cole Blease is a dead issue, but he did not leave office entirely friendless, if there is any milk of human kindness in the soul of man. Those pardoned by him from the state penitentiary should give evidence of it. WITH THE SIZE OF bread loaves reduced and the price raised to six cents, the frugal housewife will occasionally substitute the old standby, corn bread. Even though many of us were practically brought up on it, the taste still lingers. STRANGE THAT IT IS ALWAYS A SUBURBAN REAL ESTATE DEALER who sees the first robin or who makes captive the first butterfly. Wonder if it could have anything to do with selling lots in his new subdivision? THE SOUTHERN WHITE MAN IS the Negro's best friend. The fool that uttered such an expression should be tarred and feathered. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T HELP MATTERS to cry hard times, but it does make us think twice before we throw away a dollar foolishly. DEFENDER'S arose between the partner and myself concerning the ownership of the fixtures. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Two weeks ago I was served with a writ of injunction restraining me from "interfering with the business or promises" and preventing me from exercising any rights in the place whatsoever. The Officer's Duty Feb. 6.—Defender Legal Helps: I was driving my horse along the street and it fell and was injured. A policeman shot my horse, stating that he was a right to do under the law. I would not show if he had a right to kill my horse. One week ago this partner moved all the fixtures and furnishings from the premises and placed them in storage. I have no lawyer and I am soeking advice' from your legal department. Please advise me whether I should sue the landlord for disregarding my rights under the lease, or should I partner for the possession of my goods. Answer: The city ordinance provides that when an animal on the streets is injured or diseased beyond or past recovery for any useful purpose and not properly cared for by or someone in charge, then an officer may animal if it is not removed within a hour after found in said condition. Answer: We advise you to consult a competent attorney in this matter, because from the facts you state, we infer that there must be circumstances which have complicated the situation so as to require personal legal advice. Consult an Attorney. Feb. 9.-Defender Legal Helps: 9. A legal partner in partnership agreement with a party to run a pool room and barber shop. The premises were leased in my name.
