Washington tour of the state of Louisiana on April 13 held what will probably be the last general meeting before the visit of Dr. Wash. Washington, the March 24, in Python Temple. The committee feels assured that the visit will be the most brilliant of events among the people of the state. The governor and many other state and city officials have endorsed the object and purposes of the visit and the people—those in the professions and those in other of life alike—have pronounced their support for Washington, so the indications are that the tour will be eminently successful. With Dr. H. E. Jones, the admit and energetic doer of things, promoting and directing the movement, the result of the effort to have Dr. Washington visit this city and tour the state of Louisiana could hardly be other than successful. No other man in the state of Louisiana was better qualified to take all the responsibility out of work and out so harmonious a plan for the tour. Dr. Jones is not only a splendid executive, but he is a master in working out matters of detail as well. If he had the facilities in clerical help and financial resources that Dr. Washington has Dr. Jones could manage successfully an institution as far famed for the effusion of his work as a Tuskegee Institute Trustee. He could markable training of Dr. Jones for big work, requiring intelligence, capacity and diplomacy in managing it successfully. POST OFFICE MEN WANT FOWLER FOR DELEGATE Mr. Stewart D.

Harrison, wife of the Mayor of Chicago, has used the high power of her nearly extinguished husband to "sidetrack" the municipal board of film censors and herself pass upon, approving, the Griffith film known as "The Birth of the Nation." This film has been much talked and written about throughout the country on account of the fact that it is a "movie" version of Rev. White's "Infamous race-hating play called "The Clansman." Wherever, thus far, the promoters have attempted to show the film they have been promptly squelched by the authorities. They tend to arouse race hate and strife. Even in large southern cities such as Atlanta, Ga. and New Orleans the exhibition of the pictures was prohibited. In New York City last week an actor was made to show them, but the censors interfered with the result that the management was driven from that city. Shown at Private Exhibition.

They were greeted with tremendous applause. They both returned to their training quarters. Willard worked for two hours steady at the pullets, punching the dummies, wrestling and shadow boxing. Johnson drew nearly 3,000—twice at the pullets, punching the dummies. There were two rest periods. Johnson is by far the favorite, he charges less, also. He pleased the crowd with his fast footwork, his fast and heavy hitting, and his sparing partners were more than glad when he was through. Minor bouts have been held in Havana all the week, educating the Cubans; for the big bout, President Menocal visited the Willard quarters Sunday, although he was accompanied by the champion.

Tells Master She Wants Money to Pay Church Dues and with it Fies to Another Town with Suton—Has Hopes of Educating Herself. Abblene, Texas, April 2—Twenty-two years in slavery these enlightened days seems a myth, but such is the case in a Texas town. Miss Laura Hill, who has resided here since Feb. 7, 1915, has been in the clutches of a masterate for twenty-two years, not known anything of freedom or liberty but nothing more than slave. Recently she was allowed to church and there met the man who caused her to seek her liberty. She told her master she wanted $7,00 to pay her church dues and with a ten dollar gold piece, given her by her mother sixteen years ago, with the assistance of Mr. Charles, Tribe, she black, put her on a train and took her to ablence. The history of this young woman may be that of others who are in the backwoods of this state who "have not seen the light of day." The following is a true story signed by this young woman who lives with a good husband, Mr. and Mrs. W.

Jackson and Thomas Wallace Swann, Commissioners, Working for Its Success. Chicago will be the "mecca" this year for Afro-Americans from all over the country. From Aug. 23 to Sept. 22, 1915, the advancement made by the race since Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation will be shown in an exposition in the Coliseum. Governor Edward F. Dunn appointed the following commissioners: Bishop Samuel Fallowes, Hon. John Dalley, Major George W. Ford, Dr. Mary Fltbutter Waring, Rev. A. J. Carey, Hon. W. Duff Pierce, Hon. Medill McCormick, Hon. R. R. Jackson and Thomas Wallace Swann. The commission has received many applications for space for exhibits from all foreign countries and several foreign countries, and several Mexico has voted an appropriation of $2,000 and favorable conditions for appropriations exist in several other states. The exposition will be a great success but the co-operation and assistance of every self-respecting man is solicited. United effort of the race is very necessary. The attitude of the United Exposition, which is to be held on April 27th to the 27th, is an example of advance of exhibition. When they learned that the date of the Chicago exposition was to be from August 22d to September 17th, they decided to close their exposition July 27th in order that some of their exhibits might be shipped to Chicago and installed before the opening day. They decided to work with the team to make both expositions a success. In two different parts of the country, the people who visit one will in all probability not be in a position to visit other. Hundreds of letters approving the purpose of the exposition have been received, representing every race and religion, every profession and business and social activity in America. The exhibits of the progress of the race since his emancipation from slavery of the 400 schools and various. Each of the 400 schools and various United States will be represented. The best of 3,000 patents granted to the race by the federal government will, by special arrangement, be brought to Chicago to show in the Coliseum. The government of Liberia, Africa, made up originally of freed slaves from America, has an exhibit, and Prof. Frederick Starz the University of Chicago has been appointed their official representative by the Liberian government. The Roman Catholic exhibit will be a feature of the exposition, including, besides paintings and sculpture, many relics of the Afro-American in his relation to the church. Statistics Show Progress.

More than 28 per cent of the total number of farmers in the south in 1910 had grosses and 12 per cent of the total farm acreage was operated by them. The race has produced 6,000 books and periodicals, nearly 7,000 songs and musical compositions. Giles Jackson to Come. Col. Jackson, speaking to the citizens of New York, news, spoke in glowing terms of the expulsion to be held here. He said: The race of Chicago need our support because we live in the Black Belt of the South, where the majority of the Negroes reside. We have entered into arrangements by which we can materially aid them in making a success of their exposition. The moment we announced to the world that this step was taken to our Western brother the interest manifested in the success of our exposition was double.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER UNITED STATES HEAR COMPLAINT OF R. R. PORTERS UNITED STATES HEAR COMPLAINT OF R. R. PORTERS Robert Lincoln, Son of Abraham Lincoln, to Testify on Labor Conditions Next Monday Before U. S. Federal Commission—Porters and Conductors to Be Summoned. DEFENDER THEIR FRIEND Relations Under-Present Laws of the Employer and Employee Will Be Considered-Hoped That Porter Will Be Benefited. Many months ago The Chicago Defender acted as spokesman for the railroad porters and Pullman.men in making complaints of the many needs of the men who work days and nights to fill the coffers of big railroads and the Pullman company. Its claims were just. The Defender pleaded for shorter hours and more pay, less taxing of the men, more manager misdings, At that time the Pullman met at the "Y" and started a school, so to speak, to train men for better service, but never uttered a word about raising their salary. In some manner these complaints reached the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations, and on next Monday Robert Lincoln, whose father, Abraham Lincoln, freed the slaves, and who is an officer of the Pullman company, the largest employer of race men in the city, agreed to identify concerning the working conditions and treatment of its porters and conductors. The Pullman Company, of whose board of directors Mr. Lincoln is chairman, employs 6,000 sleeping car porters, and 2,000 white conductors. Lincoln who is now at his winter home in Chicago, has his intention of attending the session. Many Complaints Received. Since the commission inaugurated its inquiry of 'industrial conditions numerous complaints, both in writing and personally, have been made by porters and conductors. Practically all of the complaints, however, declined invitations to give verbal testimony, saying they feared dismissal. As a result the commission has conducted an independent investigation as to car service conditions of employment. Supplementing this will be the testimony of a number of former conductors and porters. The car employees protest particularly regarding the small amount of time they get on their runs, in some cases as little as four hours every other night. They also object to the firing system.

We cordially invite the public to worship with us. The pastor will occupy the pulpit morning and evening next Sunday which is Easter. We are making preparations to observe the day as is most be-fitting.

PROCTOR FTV—The physical power of man has a power of prominence part in his affair, in the influence of his development it was the most important thing it the struggle for existence, and though it was not the only reason we reached that point where the development the mind is most essential to our existence, and the spicuous places in all that concerns men. There is nothing mystifying about this fact, and it is not at all apparent that it are at once apparent to one who things logically. When we consider the fact of residence or of soul, and that the soul is all good, the conclusion that a good benefiting is superior to home and surmounting the difficulties of things inevitably comes to us. History proves to us that wherever mind and body have been simultaneously developed a great and impressive creation has existed, and that with the help of the human mind and body, it has been a mental and moral deterriture. This is true of Greece and of Rome the Greek sculptors have left conclusive evidence of the Greek idealization of the perfect body in such works of art. The Wrestlers, The Die Thrower, The Runners, The Phryns and Apollo, statues depicting and hour and hour, statues of the Greeks were especially athletic and the Olympic games is a heritage left to modern civilization by them. When their intellectual development was at the highest point there was a similar experience in the physical nature in evidence among them. The most important place, and the idea of a sound mind in a sound body was evidently prevalent. This conclusion strengthened by an acquaintance the works of the philosophers, for emphasis on the quality of the body, the physical development of the body, with the phenomenon of antiquity. Parallel conditions existed in Rome and the loss of interest in the physical welfare and the consequent mental and moral degeneration of both peoples proves a similar condition to be found in the body of the man to be found. Today the "young man" is not the only one known as "علتation" means temperance, clear, training at the sacrifice of sensual pleasures and submersion to discipline. Your star athlete was not made by the male touch of an enchanted wand, but by the presence of a consistent endeavor and obedience to the law of nature. He has made himself All nations and races are proud of their athletic heroes and their skill. We have had and have ours and are exceedingly proud of them. Many of our monarchs of the track, gridiron and dia mond are men of affairs today, giving us reason for additional pride. Football, like Lewis of Harvard, Poolard and Johnson of Dartmouth, Marshall of Minr sota, Gray of Amherst, Ransom of left, Parker and Young of Northw ass of Kansas, Smith of the Michigan, Arsicultural School, and track men such as J. B. Taylor, deceased, University of Pennsylvania and Olympic team: Cable, all around star of Harvard; Jackson, hurdler of Harvard; Holmes of the Chicago Irish-American Athletic club, and a product of the Douglas Center. A. C. Chicago, and a champion jumpers; and an innumerable host of baseball performers of merit like Mathews of Harvard, have given us an indisputable right to athletic honors. Young men may look into the records of these celebrities and find much to emulate and give a new sense of racial pride. There are many of present dry fame—our Dress, Grangers and Buttefs, so and see them perform and get the spirit of fight and achievement from them. Feel the thrill of seeing one of our boys try, ump over a field of striving rivals. Yet, never know real race pride unin you, prior to this sensation. I will tell you of recent years in the world of few other dyed-in-the-wool athletic of color. It was in the gymnastics one of the big universities, forty furnished the thrill. The up for the start, fine looking, young fellow, alert, tense, th the West—there was one col among them. "Get on your m set," bang! They were off, the boy was running easily," about the passed a man, he was second, and faster flew the bronze Mercur, other than me, he was for thus he finished. Pian, a member of and leather-lunged youngsters, sex victor's name, Diamond, Diamond, mond, echoing through that hall of The winner had broken a record. Was Mr. Binga Diamond, Universal Chicago. The medal was his, the his, but that incomparable thrill and ing of race patriotism was certainly. Meet Mr. Diamond of the track from the glamour of lily-and that like most of these makers of the history of the world, the athlete. He is a serious-minded young man, with well developed tastes and ambitions to succeed profession—medicine. Men like Mr. Diamond and his fellow colleagues are of infinite value by their race, as they do much to eliminate proje- cies and gain new respect for us, esp- cially when possessed by the venerable combination of physical and intellectual development. Give them the appreciation, encouragement and honor they deserve. Daily 10 A. M. to 10 P. M.

FEAT STARTLES WORLD. Boy Who Put Hutchinson, Kan, on Map is Track Wonder—Bliett gets Three Places in Trials, Hughes One, Burdett One. Sol Butler took upon himself to win the northwestern interscholastic at the Patten "gym" last Saturday night, and he did. The band played and the thousands cheered who thronged the hall while Sol posed for a picture. Incidentally, on Friday Solomon (that's his right name) equaled the world's record in the 60-yard dash, and on Saturday night. In the world's record equaled the world's record in the 60-yard dash. Not being satisfied with that, he equaled the world's record again in the 60-yard high hurdle. In the semi-final of the 60-yard dash he made record time, thus bringing his total up to three times on Saturday (three in the dashes), and once on Friday, making four times in all.

He heaved the shot 45 feet, getting first place. Butler put Hutchinson, Kan, on the map last year, but this year when his coach went to Rock Island Butler, having one more year in high, went along with him.

Brown of the Ap- partment passed the Cook- d at luncheon station and CHICAGO DEFENDER MAN WINS MEDAL FOR DRIVING AUTO Earl Gordon, North Side Agent, Is Rewarded by Employer—He Drives 100,000 miles Without Mishap— "Safety First" His Slogan. Another Chicago Defender man has made good. Earl Gordon, 4457 Broad, north side representative of this newspaper, is the first man of the race to receive a medal for carefully driving an automobile. The medal is a gold one and the donor is W. C. Smith, president of William D. Smith Company, dealer in hides. His employer, the Equitable Realty, that was no easy task. It required seven years of steady driving at an average of fifty miles per day in Chicago and fourteen different states. This is Earl Gordon's formula for avoiding accidents: Be careful. Always see that your car and brakes are in the best condition. Don't make any "grandstand plays" or take any chances. Always try to keep in mind "Safety first." The real meaning of safety first, he says, "is to be careful and think of the danger of others. I never drive by a 'Earl Gordon, winner of first "Safety First" medal. school that I don't think of the danger to the children. In crossing a bus street, where traffic is thick, I always try to have my car under full control. I have made many trips, touring around the country, coming in contact with many dangerous places. I have driven 306 miles in 10 hours. To you that you will have to drive at the rate of 30 miles an hour. That was I taking a chance. I always had my car under control." Mr. Gordon is 27 years old and was born in Nashville, Tenn., where he first took up the auto business. Seven years later he came to Chicago and has made a good record for himself.

TALBERT RACE LEADER IS HIGHLY PRAISED Article in Twentieth Century Negro Literature Entitled "Did the American Make Achievements in the 20th Century Commensurate With His Opportunities?" Commended by Daily Press. HISTORY OF BUSY LIFE. Early Environment and Training Fit Noted Woman for Position of Race Leader and Adviser—Graduate of Oberlin Honored in Appointment by Mayor of Buffalo. (By Eloise Bibb Thompson, Contributing Editor). Los Angeles, Cal., April 2—Among the rapidly increasing numbers of notable colored women whose influence for good extends throughout the country is Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, the only colored member of the College Alumnus of Woman's Colleges. The Chicago Inter Ocean of a few years ago, in reviewing the volume entitled "Twentieth Century Negro Literature," gave much space to the discussion of the first article in the book, written by Mrs. Talbert, the subject, "Did the American Negro Make the Dances in the Twentieth Century Communities with His Opportunities?" The manuscript of Talbert's energy in the efforts of her race is revealed in those words which she recently uttered on a memorable occasion: "Our women are realizing as never before the power of organization. They are showing better judgment, working for larger results; they have caught the vision of service. Playing its part in all the forces of human endeavor, mutuality and helpfulness have stamped themselves. The Negro race is in the crucible. What we desire is the dress to be consumed and the gold to be refined. In this process women are important factors. Three hundred Negro children are born and they depend on the child culture of today. I will believe that the more we interest our women of the favored classes to work with the women in humbler lives the better our work will be done—this work of lifting an entire manhood and womanhood into better life." Speech Is Highly Praised. On the occasion of the unveiling of a bronze tablet in honor of Harriet Tubman, an anti-slavery heroine, erected by the Historical Society and the White Business Men's Association of Auburn, N. Y., Mrs. Talbert's forceful eulogy called forth some very flattering comments from the Buffalo News, which told how she eloquently carried her audience along with her as she drew her graphic pictures, bringing tears to the eyes of her listeners. It further states that one prominent writer in her earlier hearing the splendid address, by Mrs. Talbert, contributed a subscription toward the expenses incurred affirming that her eloquent address alone was worth that amount. The same daily, a few months before that event, spoke in glowing terms of the work that Mrs. Talbert had accomplished as a member of the woman's commission for the Negro exposition held in New York City, an exposition that exemplified the progress of the race in fifty years of freedom. Mrs. Talbert's early environment and training have been most favorable for the accomplishment of her life work. Born in the college town of Oberlin, Ohio, educated in the high schools of that historic little city, Mrs. Talbert later entered Oberlin college, from which she graduated with her the early age of nineteen, being the openness of her ability chosen as one of the comment speakers. After her graduation she served for four years or more as principal of the high school of Little Rock, Ark. Devoted Time to Civic Work. She then married William H. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., and devoted her energies in that city to educational work and civic reform movements, becoming a friendly visitor for the charity organization of the town, and one of a committee of ten appointed to aid in the suppression of vice. As a club authority she has been invited before many of the cultured and exclusive white women's associations of Buffalo, her excellent training and making her always a desirable friend. Talbert has been sent as a delegate several times to represent the colored women of the country at the council of women's clubs held in Buffalo and in Cleveland, Ohio, each time being the only colored woman present at these sessions. Represent City of Buffalo. Her national reputation as a woman of unusual attunities made her eligible for an appointment some two years ago by the mayor of Buffalo, Hon. Louis P. Fuhman, to represent the city of Buffalo at the fourth international congress of school hygiene. "If centuries were needed," she assured them, "to bring the Anglo-Saxon from the morasses of central Europe to the height of today's civilization they cannot expect us to be perfect—yet. We are like the wrecked ship to the call, 'Shall we lower the boats and take you in?' give answer thus: We shall be all morning; so we say to our geographer, 'I will be true white friends. Our record for this half milestone from human slavery is unequaled. Let us go on with the team work which embodies the grand old motto of the Swiss republic, 'All for each, and each for all.'"

Department of Health Points Out Easy Plan to Prevent Loss of Life and Property-Laws Prohibit Installation of Wooden Sinks. (Press Service, Department of Health). The installation of o wooden sinks and wooden laundry tubs in places of habitation has been prohibited for many years by the plumbing ordinances and laws of Chicago, and of many of the large cities. More recently it has been extended to include the taurants. The reason for such action is self-evident to those who have had experience in the installation of plumbing fixtures. Wooden sinks necessarily have sharp corners which are hard to clean. Hot water is more readily absorbed than cold water; and hot, greasy water is readily absorbed by wooden receptacles, providing the material for putrefaction and the process of cay. A wooden sink out of use for a short time dries out and the consequent warping opens the seams and also causes cracks or splits. These open joints or splits provide ready means for deeper saturation of the wood and more deeply seated putrefaction chambers where the processes of decay are hidden. Wood that is seated in a cay is less accessible in a decayed or "riven" condition, emits a "sour smell," and is nausea. Metal-lined sinks are not better than unlined, and in most cases are infinitely worse. The metal lining, whether it be sheet copper or lead, is very soon pierced or perforated by usage, causing leaks which may result in the loss of material over length of time. The foul liquid waste between the sheet metal and the wood is confined in a dark, practically airtight space, affording ideal grounds for action by the anerobic bacteria, which speed up the process of decay. Saturated wooden sinks, tubs or vats are a nuisance. The use of such materials is necessary for dishwashing purposes, which speed up the process equally suitable can be provided at practically the same cost. Sheet metal sinks, tubs or vats can be used for the same purpose and will not be any more destructive to china or glassware than if made of wood. Enamelled iron or earthenware sinks can be used and the glassware and china protected from corrosion. The use of suitable mats or woven-wire guards which can be supplied at relatively small cost. If you have the hibernating habit try sleeping in a bedroom with the windows open. You will feel so much better that you will not go back to sleeping in an airtight box. You will be in the city of New York were started or caused by children playing with matches. As a safety-first proposition keep the matches where the children cannot get at them, and thus prevent loss of life and suffering.

WIZARD OF TUSKEGEE TALKS ON HEALTH Nation-Wide Agitation Culminates in Observance of National Health Activities By R. W. Thompson. Baltimore, Md., April 2—The National Health Week centered about the Memorial City, with the founder of the movement, Dr. Booker T. Washington as the stellar attraction. The campaign for better health for the race in this vicinity was given a brilliant start on Wednesday evening last at Bethel A. M. E. Church through a monster Public Health Conference, led by Harold and Colored Health Association, ordered a direct medical and Chirurgical Faculty or Maryland. The nation-wide agitation on this subject, culminating in a general observance of a "National Health Week," set apart at the suggestion of Dr. Booker T. Washington and fostered by the National Negro Business League, was given especial impetus in Baltimore by the presence of the "Wizard of Tuskegee" in perennial business management is congratulating itself in this moment in thus being able to focus the eyes of the health seeking millions of the continent upon Baltimore during this momentous period. All roads led to Bethel Church Wednesday night, at 5 o'clock the corner of Drudl Hill avenue and Lanvale streets was blocked with a dense mass of people, numbering fully 6,000, striving for entrance to the immense structure. Probably gained admission, packer, floor, and foot traffic as well as filling every inch of space in the corridors and rooms connecting with the main auditorium. Thousands were turned away from the doors, but waited in the vicinity for two hours, vainly hoping for a chance to get on the inside. The eagerness to hear the message of Dr. Booker T. Washington, displayed by the best citizens of both races on this occasion, testifies significantly the race's natural heedlessness and to the enthusiastic interest all are taking in his campaign for better health conditions for the people of the entire country. JACK JOHNSON WILL WIN SAYS FLANAGAN Great Trainer Arrives to Help Champion—Willing to Wager $10,000 He Wins—Cubans Excited Over Fight—President Declares April 5 Holiday. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Tampa, Fla., April 1—Jock Johnson will win. So said the great trainer, Tom Flanagan, as he sailed for Havana, Cuba, on the steamer Olivette, which had on board many notables for the bout. Tom Flanagan goes to put the finishing touches on the champs, at the request of Johnson himself. Tom is the best conditioner of athletes in this country. With Flanagan the man who bought the site where the fight is, he bought a short time ago for $20,000, and he man behind Curley Brown in the interprise. Flanagan said: "Johnson is all right, and he will be all right. He never has dissolved, and today is the best champion that we ever had." He admitted that Johnson tired in the bout with Moran in Paris, but said that he had put up a great fight. When they tried to show him that Johnson might fire and that Willard would take him, going more than an hour, he did not worry. Willard cannot stand what Johnson has to offer him in that first hour, and I am sure that he will win." All Havana Will Attend Fight All Havana Will Attend Fight. Planagan is willing to bet any part of $10,000 that Johnson wins. Leonard is traveling with Planagan and Mister Miller, who are on two or two on Willard, but each wants the best of the price. Planagan is willing at $ 5 to 1, but Leonard wants 2 to 1. Hence the money will probably wait till they land in Havana. President Monocal has set aside the fifth of April as a legal holiday after the promoters had postponed the date on account of Sunday being the last day of the races. That means that all Havana will be looked to pick up as soon as the top of the States reach Havana. Prices already have begun to take a leap on the island. HOW TO ADDRESS MAIL.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER MANY CHICAGO MEN TO JOIN BENEDICTS AFTER EASTER "Marry Now or Never," New Slogan—Well-Known Young Men to Porsake the Troubles of Single Life for the Alluring Promises of "Double Blessedness." Now that the hard winter season is over, business is is "picking up," and good returns are being realized from recent investments, a number of young men who are eligible for marriage have decided to forsake the lonesome, perilous and expensive paths of single life and are recklessly throwing themselves in the way of Dan Cupid. This gentleman, they say, is captain of a bark that leads to a havened called Double Blessedness, and they all want to get board. They are the woods are full of young men and bachelors seeking helpmates, and, as they term it, everlasting joy, happiness and solace. Whew! Reports are that young Mr. Hall, a prosperous and intelligent young fellow, is tiring of single life and will before the summer is over step off with a charming debanute of recent years. Dr. Harry Garnes, president of the Matrimony Club, says that more young men must marry this summer, and that he knows two—one in particular for whom he will be the best man. Mr. Wilson, who is popular with the girls and quite an interesting character, is said to be making up his mind and has serious intentions. There are four young doctors who want their children who are in the mood. They say that they need to be a big success in their profession they must be married. Several girls are awaiting with abated breath for the proposal. Most of the fellows when asked what kind of weddings they would have declared simple weddings. One young man declared he merely wanted the "preacher-man" and a few friends, that his bride must look as pretty and that he should not have wanted the impression of that occasion to last all of his life. Bachelors in Line. The bachelors are not to be outdone. Many of them claim they, too, are tired of "doing the Stroll," that they have seen everything, and are now determined to make a home. From all there will be many surprises among the other Easter, for the slogan among them is "Marry now or never." GUESS WHO DEPARTMENT The W. P. doll is who says she doesn't need your nerve.

THE HIGH-BROWN We have opened "The High-Brown" display room No. 5, at 3519 State Street, for the purpose of showing you the ORIGINAL as there are many imitations on the market sold under such names as "Brown Face Powder," "Brown Skin," and similar names. HIGH-BROWN FACE POWDER was originated by us—we have the name copyrighted in the United States Patent Office, and it is the first and only face powder ever made especially for colored people. Only first class articles are imitated—the very fact that so many imitate our articles is proof in itself that ours is of a superior quality. When you buy a face powder for a "High-Brown" that has not the name Overton-Hygienic on it, you have been imposed upon; for you have bought an imitation, which is inferior to our original "High-Brown." See that our name is on every box you buy. Simple Marriage Messrs.

Sworn to and subscribed before me (Seal.) Messrs. Vincent Saunders and Alonzo Young Against the Dancing Combine. Five months ago Mr. Vincent Saunders and Mr. Alphonso Young opened their Laurel Dancing Academy in Johnson's Dreamland Hall. In consequence of previous popularity and excellent management they enjoyed large attendances, but, as in all cases of success, there is bound to be some jealousy. However, in this case it came from an angle where it was least expected. The owner of the hall not being satisfied with a rental of eighty dollars for four nights a month decided that the Laurel attendance was too large for one night and suggested taking another night. In order that his rental might be doubled (and also that his tenant's expenses might be likewise) and their attendance cut into half. This of course was not listened to by the Laurel management, whereupon an effort was made to break up the class entirely. The illustration in this column is more expressive than words. However, it did not pan out as was intended, and immediately several new classes were started on the vacant nights. The Laurel Academy not being ELIJAH H.

Complimentary tickets were scattered here and there until finally the crowds became a mixture of good, bad and indifferent, with the good gradually weeding out and never returning.

An excellent bill was presented the first half of this week, and was opened by Le Bruns in a sensational roler skating act.

Ricks & Talbert, a comedian and actress, delivered and were well received. The big act was Jack Smith and Will Minor Cook in a black-faced skit called "The Two Street Cleaner" and Cook's vocal solos were highly appreciated. This is an act that is bound to make good.

AMATEUR MINSTRELS PREPARE FOR SHOW Members Hard at Work for Annual Benefit for Old Folks' Home—Invite Friends to Bring Whole Family. The amateur minstrels are hard at work preparing for their annual show and are invited to the benefits of Folks' Home. Owing to the fact that the minstrel club was unable to secure a hall large enough to accommodate their many friends for Easter Monday night, they are compelled to have the dance and show on the second Monday in April—Monday, April 12th—at the Amory Amy's Flower avenue near 23rd Street in New York, erected with beautiful scenery and 1,000 seats will be installed by Col. Franklin Dennison. The minstrel club is very anxious to increase their donation ($125) of last year, and ask their many friends to remember the date and bring the whole family. One of their friends will be the big dance to follow the show. Remember, your presence means a help to the Old Folks' Home. Never before in the history of the Wahash avenue department of the Y. M. C. A. has there gathered such an immense thrush of music loving people as filled the vast gymnasium Thursday of last week. The occasion was the free recital, one of a number of occasions the auspices of Cary B. Lewis, the man who man has the happy faculty of making whatever he takes bald of hum. Class is the slogan and only artists with a name and reputation find place on the programs, and these, let it be said to their credit, take pleasure in donating their services that the love of the audience all who seek. The artists appearing at the recent concert were showered with applause. Mrs. Willa Sloan, soprano, sang two numbers in her usual charming manner: Mrs. Catherine Carrere, a visitor from New Orleans, simply made the piano him and carrere, and the violinist all the pleasure. William Armstrong was declared by all to be 'cello artist par excellence, and the enthusiastic audience was loath to let him stop. Merrilweather and Callaux, two gentlemen whose fame as pianists preceded them, were invited to perform the style. It was a musical treat long to be remembered. If this concert is any indication of what is to follow we predict the "Y" will not be large enough to accommodate the crowds that will attend the next recital, which takes place Thursday evening, April 8, at some time the following artists will appear: Mrs. Clara Hutchinson, vocal; Mrs. Glayds Reese, vocal; Mrs. DeWitt Smith, dramatic reader; Miss Frances Golloway, pianist. Hear these artists in two groups. A silver offering at the door. DR. J. A. AGNEW INVITED TO OLD KY.

Washington, D. C., April 2—Thomas A. Brooks, a comedian and song-writer of note, was featured strongly by the Hiding "Billy" Watson Company, which owns the theater, the luxury Theater, a white burlesque house. The Washington friends of Miss Daisy Martin, "the Bronze Eva Tanguy," are pleased to know that she has become proprietor of a coy cate at 17th and Naudain streets, Philadelphia, where she will be on her when they visit the Quaker City. A prominent dental firm of this city is impressing Miss Martin's infectious smile more firmly upon this community by using her countenance upon some weavers attractive pencards that she has drawn. Manager A. J. Thomas of the Howard is the author of a number of playlets of praiseworthy quality, and he may be induced to put some of them on in the near future. The petite soubrette, who is a great favorite here, was married a short time ago in Philadelphia to Earl Walton, and Walton. Miss Lawson and her husband are now members of the Martin and Moltown musical playing at the Peak in Norfolk, Va. Miss Carita Day, the top-notcher of modern dancers and singing comediennes, is expected here soon. Miss Day has not been seen on a Washington stage since her notable two-week's season some years ago as the leading comedian of the Rustus." Her appearance would be warmly welcomed by the art-loving people of the nation's capital. Jeff DeMount, one of the best-known performers in the country, died in Baltimore on the 21st, after a long illness. He had been conducting a moving musical before stricken with the illness when he was stage of life. His funeral took place at the Allen A. M. E. church, Baltimore, on the 24th, under the auspices of the Masons and Shriners, who had looked after him with tender solicitude during his illness. Rev. P. J. Jordan, pastor of Allen church, delivered a speech and paid high tribute to the useful career of the deceased. A wife and two children survive Mr. DeMount. Will A. Vodery, the eminent composer, formerly leader of the orchestra at the Howard Theater, and who has staged some of the big Broadway attractions in a fashion that has won warm encomiums at the hands of the metropolitan critics, has been spendable on business; it is possible that Mr. Vodery catches here, as he regards Washington as the logical border line between the North and South and the great highway between the East and the West. "JITNEY BUS" SOUTH; RACE IS BARRED Moorehouse and Morris Brown Colleges Play Ball—Great Interest Manifested. By Greer. Atlanta, Ga., April 2.—The "jitney bus" is now in operation in the city of Atlanta, but they are for whites and not for colored passengers. Yet the colored people have to pay just as much in taxes as anyone else, and his money goes for the upkeep of the streets, still he is prohibited from riding in a public carrier. Even the man who drives a "Ford" thinks it too good for the colored citizens of this city. However, we will also operate some Jitney buses for our own benefit, and when we do some white man will be one of the first to force his way into a colored machine. However, and no matter how white, out he must go. "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." Last Saturday afternoon was a gala day for the students of Morris Brown University, their team having won from Clark University by a score of 11 to 2. The game was again a one-sided affair, with M. B. U. on the big end. More-house College also won from Atlanta University by a score of 4 to 1. This game was really good, as the score was tied, 1-1, up to the last half of the eighth inning. A. U. is getting better, and perhaps may be in Class A before the season is over. This coming Saturday Morehouse College will go up against Morris Brown University on M. B. U. campus. This promises to be a battle royal, for great rivalry exlats between these two schools. However, the Morris Brown Tigers expect to have the Maroons on the run before the game is over. Claflin University will be here for a second time, and Tuesday for games with Morris Brown University. On Saturday, March 27, the more-house Tigers met the Morris Brown University and were defeated by the score of 9 to 5. The game was a hard-fought one. Kennett, on the mound for Morehouse and Williams, was hurling them for Morris Brown. Kennedy pitched a good game for Morehouse, but was a bit wild and received horrible support at times. Williams pitched well, but the old Maroon was able to connect with his fast ones. The keen rivalry between these two nines made the contest one of the most important of the season.

"Resolved, that the Capitalists of Colo-ron Justified in Employing Only Union Men," Knoxville will defend the negative side of the question, while Morello, Knoxville will defend the negative side against Talladega Men. On the same night Morello will defend the negative side against Talladega Men. Always prove to be of very great interest.

CHARITY THE Amateur Minstrel Club SHOW and DANCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF The Old Folk Home MONDAY NIGHT APRIL 12th, 1915 8th REG. ARMORY By Greer Baseball EDITOR ABBOTT VICTIM OF OLD POLITICAL TRICK "Suspect" Notice Is Left at His Residence Where He Has Resided for 14 Years But Finds Time to Straighten Matter Before Election Commissioners—Work of Mr. Armstead. The election commissioners' office sent broadcast this week suspect notices in the wards where Afro-American citizens reside. The whole scheme seemed to have been timed by the politicians who feared the Republican strength of the colored vote, particularly in the Second ward. Among those inconvenienced by the necessity of appearing at the election commissioners' office to prevent his name from being erased from the registry was Editor R. S. Abbott of respond to the notice and was surprised by the election commissioners' office literally jammed with Afro-Americans on a similar mission. When asked by Mr. Abbott who reported his name as not living at the address given on the notice, the commission informed him that it was a mistake. Armstedt, who resided at 21 East 28th street. It was afterwards learned that Armstedt was a temporary employee of the election commissioners' office and upon further inquiry that one of the politicians of the Third ward, whose political affiliation altogether free from suspicion. The Defender is as anxious as the election commissioners themselves to preserve inviolate the ballot, but from what the editor of this paper observed he responded to the suspect notice left unresolved. He is firmly of opinion that objects to sanctity of the ballot actuated the promiscuous service of these notices in the territory where those of the Afro-America race largely reside. Upon inquiry we were unable to learn many instances where these "suspects" were served save among the residents of the no-called black belt.

JACK JOHNSON (Continued From Page 1.) backing when he enters the ring, as many of my countrymen are backing him for, what you Americans say, every cent they can get on him. We hope he will win. Willard looks like he is in life-form, but in answer to your questions, he is confident. Amer.'s are coming in on every ship. M.hy have plenty of money, but are waiting until later to wager. The fact leaked out that the champion has sent $5,000 to his home town, Chicago, to be .bet on himself. This lends tone to the affair, and, barring the element that hates equality, things are beginning to look rosy here. The fight was set back one day, and Curley is under bond to have what temporary stands that have to be erected removed for the afternoon races. Our president has declared a legal holiday and it being the first big bout as well as the first championship bout it has created much more interest than it was first, thought it would. More money for reservations is in now than was before, so Tom Willett has been so serious. Many funny bets are recorded. On the fight the betting is 7 to 5, with Johnson on the long end. Willard people are hanging close to their coin, waiting for the odds to change to 2 to 1. Many are beginning to give up the idea of wagering since visiting the champion's camp and finding him in such good condition. They are pulling for Willard on account of his color, but are afraid to back him. Johnson has many friends from the Stakeholder group, special writers arrived a day or so ago and they went straight from one camp to the other. Johnson always welcomes everyone, and although they want Willard to win from a color standpoint only they all admit that Johnson looks the best ever. CAN WILLARD RETURN THE PUGILISTIC SCEPTER TO THE CAUCASIAN RACE? By Jack Kearney Next Monday afternoon, April 5, at Havana, Cuba, providing something unforeseen does not prevent the meeting, Willard, the heavyweight champion of the Caucasian race, will attempt to transfer the laurels that rest resplendent upon the brow of John Arthur Johnson, champion of all pugilistic champions. The old adage that "Youth will not be downed" has been an axiom since pugilism became a vogue. Johnson dispelled the old theory June 27, 1914, at Paris, France, when he met and defeated Frank Moran in twenty rounds. From the initial round to the climax of the final he outboxed and outfought his sturdy young rival. Without a moment's hesitation at the conclusion of the hostilities Referee Carpenter raised the champion's gloved hand aloft in token of victory, aid cheers. Johnson Bars, None. Johnson, unlike his predecessors, bars no man on the face of the globe. That Johnson is the real heavy-weight champion of the world, we never known cannot be denied by the unknown, but know nuggetly history. All the champions of heftorefo, from John L. Sullivan to Tommy Burns, feared some competition. The public grew weary of their creative tactics and longed for a real champion. Their cherished hopes were realized on that memorable afternoon of December 26, 1988, when in the stadium at Rushuttters Bay, Sydney, Australia, the haurlens emblematic of the world's championship that had for generations been in the keeping of the Angle-Saxon was transferred from Caucasia to the brow of Ethiopia in the personage of Jack Johnson, the pugilistic sensation of the modern war. The crown could not grace another brown more fitting. That the champion cannot be bought has been proven conclusively. He likes to mount the platform too well and tell the people how he did the trick. His battles throughout his eventful RACE LEADERS PLAN UP-TO-THE MINUTE TOWN IN ALABAMA Professor R. B. Hudson and Dr. L. L. Burwell Close Negotiations for Large Tract of Land Near Selma, for Exclusive Afro-American Community — What the Montgomery Advertiser Says. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Selma, Ala, April 2.—Through the successful efforts of Dr. L. L. Burwell and Professor R. B. Hudson, principal of Clarke's College, plans for the establishment of a model Afro-American community have been launched. Negotiations have been closed for the purchase of 2,000 acres of rich black prairie land situated about four miles north of this city. A recent issue of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser has the following to say regarding the project: To Offset "Tenanting" System. "The plan is to lay out a town and cut the balance of the land into 10-acre and 20-acre farms. The farms will be sold at the lowest possible price, and the farms a purchaser has made his last payment on the farm he will be given a warranty deed to a lot in the city. However, each owner of a farm must till his farm and not give up the farming as soon as he secures his city plot. The principal aim of the promoters is to foster diversified farming among the farmers, and to allow as far as possible the farm to form of 'tenanting' farms belonging to white people. Everything Up to Date. "Plans have already been drawn for a modern school building, and contracts will be let just as soon as it has been assured the promoters that the Afro-Americans will support the new movement. Churches will be built and everything done to make the place an up-to-the-minute city. The land is situated on the Southern railway and on a fine pike road. Overflowing wells dot the entire 2,000 acres, and the country is ideally suited to the growing of truck crops. Beneath the wells is the Selma's markets, the promoters point out it will be an easy matter for the residents of the tract to bring their products into the city, where they will find a ready market." UNION BAPTISTS' ASS'N TO MEET IN IULY. By Susie Watkins. Dayton, Ohio. April 12—Excelsior Library Society of Bethel Baptist Church is progressing nicely under leadership of our president, Grace Ancher. The church's deputy advocates are on last Tuesday evening and were enjoyed by Dobaters, both affirmative and negative, made some very strong arguments for affirmative debate. "Resolved, That Segregation is Better for Northern Negro. Affirmative, Mrs. Desembly; negative, Mr. John Comba. McIntire, Mr. Lewis. "Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, or Bethel Baptist Church, have an exercise kit. "In April the Ministers' Institute will convene with Bethel Baptist Church, and will have an exercise kit. My Rev. J. B. Anderson will go to Campbellville, Ky., to preach the annual sermon of Oy. Fellows. "Western members will have an exercise kit July 28 to Aug. 2. Dr. Anderson, who is moderator of this convention, will entertain association on delegation home with them. Following members are on sick list: Mrs. Ken Cunningham, Mrs. Cynthia Cornell Presbyter, Rev. Ms. George Bell. "There is something peculiar about Bethel Church. Western members will have an exercise kit. Anderson is preaching New Testament doctrine. We are flocking to hear him. "Mrs. Hazel Patterson will be preaching at the Old Baptist Church. Officiated by Rev. Tompson. "Mrs. Brown. "The annual sermon of the Eastern Star Lodge will be preached at the Old Baptist Church. Officiated by Rev. Tompson. "St. Margaret's Episcopal Mission organized Irwin Finley, president; R. Helenius vice-president; Charles Mosley, secretary; E. A. Dickerson, assistant secretary; Oy. Fellows, treasurer, the club meets Thursday, to treasurer, the club has enrollment of thirty members. The club is designed for the betterment of the church and social general uplifting. Last Thursday there were very interesting speeches made by the Minister, Martha Blander, minister, the church. The church takes its next in trying to make the career may be compared favorably with boxing instructor and pupil. He has toyed with his opponents as a cat would with a mouse, defeating them so decisively as to leave no doubt in the minds of the spectators as to his superiority. Can Willard Return the Scepter? Can Jess Willard return the pupilistic scape to the Caucasian race? It is possible, but not probable. Youth alone favors the Kansas giant. He is probably the champion's equal in strength, but in speed, skill and ring generalship there can be no comparison, so far does Johnson outclass Caucasia's pugilistic representative. Eulogized by his ardent admirers and believing that the instability of age will spell defeat for the champion, the battle will undoubtedly carry the battle to Johnson from start to finish. The eyes of the sporting world are upon the calendar, and the public's pulse will be above normal when Johnson and Willard are wrapped in the throes of battle. Should Willard by a superlative effort break through that impregnable defense and send the pugilistic Napoleon to the canvas for the count of ten, the vast assemblage which is sure to gather would go into a frenzy. The defeat of Germany in her struggle with the allies would pale into insignificance, so to speak, in comparison. The Golden Smile. The Caucasian race throughout the domain of Uncle Sam would celebrate his passing, and a wave of depression would sweep over the loyal members of Ethiopia. In conclusion I would say we do hope, as a loyal race, no matter what our views may be regarding the prize ring and its principals, that when the smoke of the battle clears away, so to speak, and the din of mingled cheers and groans has died away in the atmosphere, that the champion will have emerged from the contest a victor, with the golden smile as conspicuous as ever. LAURA HILL IN SLAVERY 22 YEARS. (Continued From Page 1.) promise that he would educate and make of her a good woman. So when Laura was 6 years old Dr. McKinney, moving from Alabama to Texas, took her and with his family moved to Cameron, Tex. They lived there about six years, going from there to Stamford, Tex. About this time Laura being 12 years old was put to doing the work of the family which consisted of the care of a 9-room house, cooking, washing, ironing, making the fires in winter and the care of a horse, a cow or hogs, when they had them. At this age, being treaded so brutally she ran off and was gone two or three weeks. When she was alone on the streets of Dallas, Texas, she was caught by Dr. McKinney, and carried back to Stanford, Texas, where she was brutally beaten and locked up for three days. While quite young, the desire to learn presented itself and with very little assistance Laura was able to read in the second reader. The impulse to learn predominated to such an extent that she asked assistance of Ms. McKinney, who positively and very bitterly refused her. So ended her berry education. She was never told any public school but kept it home to teach the family. No salary was paid her for her service, but clothes such as was felt needed and a little money at time was all that she received. When sick cough to go to bed she was put off among people of her race to be carefor. Wain three weeks of her twenty-second birthday she was beaten for some-called offense. As she neared womanhood the desire to associate with her people, to receive and accept company of the opposite sex was denied her, and if caught in such company, she was severely beaten by Dr. McKinney. For the last year, however, Dr. McKinney, realizing his objections were needles, permitted her to attend the Baptist church of Stamford where she accepted Christ and became an earnest Christian. Some time ago, unmindful of h. McKinney's threats, she received the attention of a young man years old, named Charles Trump, who was a member of the Fiat 1915, from this tyrannical lord and master. This brave young man disguises her in black, put on her the train and stayed with her until he put her in good hands in Ablene, Texas. She received $7 from Dr. McKinney, telling him it was to pay her church dues, and, with a ten dollar gold piece given her by her mother sixteen years before here her own expenses. Laura, now a handsome young woman of 12, entertains the hope of yet educating herself. She is capable and willing to do any kind of housework, and hope by careful saving and energy work to yet reach the place to she meet, and also help to her life. Dr. McKinney told her that her mother, had died years ago. Not knowing whether this is true, she is very detached to find her mother and sister if living. When last heard of they were in or near Goodwater, Ala., and amuse knowing their where, she would confer a lasting fave upon her.

Vanderbilt has reserved three boxes at the ringside, and has wagered with a hotelkeeper $1,400 on Johnson. The advance sale of tickets has reached $26,000. The promoters must clear $64,000 before they can realize a nickel for themselves or for Willard. The following list of expenses must be met: Johnson Taking No Chances. Johnson has everything to lose outside of the guarantee of $20,000. If he loses he could not command over $2,500 for a purse for another battle, while Willard would be making money hands over hands for the next few years. They figure his income would be close to $100,000 for the next five years. That's the gamble they are taking, while, on the other hand, Johnson is taking no chances. He would rather retire with the crown than anything else the world, and he would need that his life. He intends to retire without giving either McVey or Langford a chance. They can all scramble for the championship, but as far as he is concerned he will be through. There is a fine little farm just outside of Paris, and he has his eye set on it. He intends to buy it after the fight, and spend the rest of his life there. Big Delegation from the States. There is a big delegation to leave the States a day or two before the fight, and many have already made reservations for head accommodations. The street car company has ready laid plans whereby it can handle a crowd of 30,000. Edward Swift, Edward Morris and Ira Morris have engaged boxes. These are three of Chicago's big men in the meat industry. Many thousands will motor. All Havana is fight crazy. Many of the natives are laying money on Johnson, because he is of their color.

SENTIMENT CAN SWAY NATIONS. The movement that smacks of human interest gets the voice and the ear of the people, though its fundamental principles are directly contrary to law. As an illustration: Governor Rye of Tennessee recently issued an unconditional pardon to a young woman who some ten months ago was convicted of murdering a man who had betrayed her. Her pardon was recommended by a large number of women, by the trial judge and the attorney general, by all the county and city officials, by the legislative delegation and by all five of the supreme judges. The petition of the supreme court made mention that "They were of the opinion then and are now that executive clemency should have been exercised in her case." Seldom, if ever, has any person been more strongly endorsed. The chairman and secretary of the pardon board and the matron of the prison strongly advocated her release, and right here let it be known that this young woman was not white and that she actually did take a man's life. In the eyes of the law she should have been punished the same as any other criminal, but sentiment ruled, and in this particular case it seems right and just that she be given her freedom. The intense interest shown in the case by the good people of this section of the southland shows that the old anti-bellum spirit of appreciation has not died out entirely. WHEREFORE IS EASTER? BROW THE EASTER SPIRIT will be used, though they be transplanted from a room, still sing a lusty song, though it only be the all nature will be decked anew, though it blow from out the North.

And it is no victory over death and all that breathes of the triumphant cry; life, bloom, sing, the mountain tops of existence and look on before if only we will burst from the We were dead, but now we are alive again that feel not this rising to life again. Few praise where due. All nature seems decked are most of us in new garment inwardly. And all because it is Easter Easter have been were it not for the rise possible? Surely, then, we can stop at the newest styles, with hearts beating from honor is due. Easter will not pass, one solemn sacred thought east towards death has come life. That new life is TOMORROW THE EASTER SPIRIT will be upon us. Flowers will bloom, though they be transplanted from a warmer clime. The birds will sing a lusty song, though it only be the song within our hearts. All nature will be decked anew, though the crisp, cold air of winter blow from out the North. And why? Christ is risen. He is not risen ages ago only, He is risen this day. As He riseth, rise we, too. The flowers are more beautiful than yesterday, the birds are singing their throats clear of winter's breath, and with them our hearts are bursting forth with songs of melody. There is new life in us. While all nature is shaken from its lethargy, we, too, have put on a new sail and almost unconsciously are buoyed up by some new hope. This is the true spirit of the Christ, who only so lately came as a babe in the manger with the message of "Peace on earth, good will to men." And it is not only peace, but victory, victory over death and all that breathes of death. Life, not death, is the triumphant cry; life, bloom, sing, rise above the valley into the mountain tops of existence and look out and see the hope that lies before if only we will burst from the prison house of death. "We were dead, but now we are alive again." Few are the beasts that feel not this rising to life again. Few are the hearts that give the praise where due. All nature seems decked in a new garment. Decked are most of us in new garments; if not outwardly, then inwardly. And all because it is Easter. But where would the Easter have been were it not for the risen Lord who made Easter possible? Surely, then, we can stop arrayed as we may be in the newest styles, with hearts beating high, to give honor to whom honor is due. Easter will not pass then without one thought, one solemn sacred thought cast toward the empty tomb, out of death has come life. That new life is ours to use, not to abuse. VOTE FOR DE PRIEST.

Next Tuesday at PRIEST. THE BATTLE FIELD HAS BEEN CLEARED FOR ACTION, all antagonistic elements have been brought together in a wonderful movement of harmony. The race leaders, representing every section of the Second ward, have met in fellowship, united in race fealty to support Oscar DePriest for alderman next Tuesday. In the midst of our rejoicings over the happy solution of the problem which confronted us recently in selecting one leader, let us not be unmindful that the victory is not yet won. The supreme test is still to come. Let not a man or woman in the Second ward be so unmindful or recreant of the responsibilities resting upon each and every one of them to vote early next TUESDAY for our standard bearer. The eyes of the entire race in America have been focused upon the contest which is so soon to be decided. Hearts will be gladdened from Plymouth Rock to Golden Gate in the election of a colored alderman in the richest bailiwick of the second largest city in America. Victory in this instance will be as a beacon light and precedent for the people in every commonwealth to get together to unite upon one race leader. The culmination of this solution has been brought about very largely by the co-operation of the women voters of the city, who have taught the husbands, brothers and sweethearts the folly of dividing their interest and thereby losing every chance of victory, which means representation and race aggrandisement. Next Tuesday our shibboleth must be DE PRIEST. SOUTHLAND, FARMERS E SOUTH actually sets about the divi am present indications they are attempt ear will be a blessing in disguise.

That the American farmer anticipates a heavy demand for grain this year is shown by the increase of more than 4,000,000 bushels sown in winter wheat. A more significant fact is the increase in the Southern states, indicating that they are taking to heart the lesson taught by a war which has left them for a time being with a tremendous surplus of cotton. The government report shows that South Carolina's acreage has been increased 200 per cent, compared with the 1913 planting. Other states are making equally as good showing. Arkansas, usually regarded as one of the most backward of the Southern states, illustrates the enthusiasm and energy with which the programme is being mapped out. The farmers are co-operating in the various counties, and forty demonstrators from the United States Department of Agriculture are aiding them. New methods, new spirit and new life injected into farm conditions below the Mason and Dixon line cannot help but bring order out of chaos. Today there is a fight between the poor of both races for a livelihood. Both have been depending solely upon cotton for support. Cotton is no longer king and attention must be turned to products that are in demand. Owning or operating, as we do about 15 per cent of the farm land, the change means much to us from every point of view. That we are equal to the new regime there is no question. We have been tried and found not wanting. FOR QUICK CHANGES the chameleon has nothing on one of our local race papers. They first appeared in a dress calculated to please Olson, the candidate for mayor. Fashions change as fashions will, and Thompson was all dolled up. The last edition not only brings Swetzer into prominence but gives us a new name for the paper. So we repeat as lightning change artists, some of our literary lights in the "Windy City" have the world beaten. CHICAGO, IT IS PREDICTED, will have more visitors the coming summer than ever before. Better keep that in mind when selecting a flat or a house. Country cousins are used to plenty of elbow room, and to be cooped up in a two by four room means that they will make their stay short. Perish the thought. THE MEXICAN SITUATION is bringing the fight near enough home to suit most Americans. There is nothing in posing as a human target; if you win, you lose. DR GEORGE CLEVELAND HALL says: We take a neutral position in the great war that is now waging because our blood is mixed with that of both the Allies and the Germans. We must or we admit it ourselves. DON'T FORGET THE ELECTION of Oscar DePriest as alderman of the Second ward means a big step forward for the entire race. We cannot afford to let this golden opportunity slip. It may be years before it comes to us again. "NUMBER OF CHARGES AGAINST AUTO REPAIRER" is the heading in one of the dailies over a police story. This makes the poor, suffering auto owner smile when he thinks of the number of charges the average auto repairer has put over on him. It's a long road that has no turn. FOR THE BENEFIT of some misguided individuals, let it be known that Easter wasn't originally set aside as a day for displaying new clothes. BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN on the first of April is no reason why you should act that way all your life. JOHNSON AND WILLARD seem to have the spotlight at the present writing. Well, everybody's doing it. THE MOVING VAN MAN is beginning to wear the Quaker Oats smile. WHO IS SAM? In our next issue we are going to tell you "who is Sam." The Defender is interested in the welfare of the race, not only extolling its merits, defending its rights, advocating its advancement, preaching the doctrine of economic thrift, but administering just criticism without reserve, irrespective of individuals or organizations. Our right to the position as a newspaper in the broad fields of its usefulness depends upon our ability and willingness to serve the higher causes of humanity. Thus we take the liberty to speak the truth and the whole truth. Who is Sam? "Say, boss, this is a white man's world, and you people have sure got 'em." "Ha! Ha! Sam, my people were slave owners, but never believed in slavery." "Colored people ain't got 'em, boss. You people are all right. Boss, I tell you, colored people are all right, but when Sam has got any business I am going to you white folks." True to tradition, Sam speaks the truth. Are you and I "Sams"? The position of weakness and servitude seems more prevalent as days go by and the influence that Sam has made. The great task before you and I today is to counteract the influence which Sam has created. This influence of Sam's is potential in the broadening sphere of "Jim Crowism," acting to circumvent larger activities of Afro-American industries, politically and economically. Let us telloilize. Certain whites of influence were the owners of slaves, but did not believe in it. Social customs become a definite law, and we acquiesce because we are too indolent to be honest. The shiftless, unworthy Afro-American panders to the occult of slavery because he is too lazy to be a real man. The anti-Sam movement suggested by the Defender means economic thrift and social uplift of the now submerged Afro-American—submerged AUTHORS AND BOOKS Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. "Jesus Born Out of the Black Tribe" is a little pamphlet containing a lecture by Eber J. M. Webb, M. d. O. C. F. W. Suttle, Wash. The main purpose of this lecture, which is illustrated throughout, with references to the scriptures, bear out his statements, is to refute the idea and teachings, in his own language, of the "learned, the unlearned, the teacher, the professor and the statesman in trying to impress upon the world that the Negro never was anybody, and that there never was anything connected with his history." He knows by biblical references that the Negro race has been the most honored in the world. That Jesus the Savior of man was a descendant of the Negro race and in God's own plan he was rescued from the cruel slaughter of King Herod in the land of Egypt, whose people are the descendants of Ham. Abraham, Moses, Judah, Simon and Joseph all married Ethiopian and Canaanish women. That Jesus is a direct descendant from the tribe of Judah, and Judah was the husband of two Canaanite women who bore him five sons. Canaan was a descendant of Ham, the acknowledged progenitor of the Negro race. Among the apostles were two black men, Barnabas and Simon. Barnabas was one of the most prominent among the apostles, ranking with Paul and Peter. These facts are all sustained by the bible, upon which the Christian religion is founded. A few of the references are here given: Genesis 25:1; Genesis 46:10; Chronicles 23:3; Genesis 41:45; Acts 13:1; Genesis 49:10; Hebrews 7:34; Revelations 5,5, and Genesis 10:6. Although the Negro race is now, like truth, to the earth crushed down, it shall rise again. Every indication points to the deterioration of the vaunted superior race, and history is repeating itself in the case of all fallen nations. Their last resort is the suppression of those whom they fear. Life and Struggles of Isaac Fisher. New York City, April 2. (Special.) —The April number of everybody's Magazine will contain a special letter by Booker T. Washington the principal of Tuskegee Institute, telling something of the life and struggles of Isaac Fisher, winner of the prize of $600 offered for the best essay by Everybody's Magazine, of the liquor question. Who is Sam? Who is Sam? Are you and I "Sams"? for the reason that Sam's influence is the unwritten law of the nation. Servitude defenselessness, weakness and inferiority are emphasized in every walk and activity of life, beginning at the national public service at Washington, D. C., and back to the infinite marts of trade. Let us illustrate: Speaking of the transportation service of Chicago, with more than 3,000,000 population, more than 100,000 of which are Afro-Americans. You cannot ride upon a coach of the street railway companies of Chicago unless you meet an Afro-American. Sam takes his business to the white people and the white people don't believe in slaves, yet they have them. Why not Afro-American motormen and conductors? Sam is the reason. Sam is the unworthy, shiftless Afro-American representing neither culture nor thrift of the race. We are opposed to Sam not as a human being, but the spirit of representation. Sam is the man of pleasure, who follows the lines of least resistance, who sleeps-upon his rights, never fulfil manhood's duties, unworthy of a reason, which has struggled to achieve success through hard and conscientious effort. We are going to fight Sam for the reason that the race each day is being misrepresented through him. We are citizens of the great, progressive United States of America. Neither through fraud, force nor misrepresentation will we surrender our manhood rights as self-respecting citizens. We have a right to the enjoyment of industrial freedom upon the same broad principle of any race which is a part of the nation. Afro-Americans should receive employment in every avenue of industry on the same basis as every other man. Our votes are a part of the elective franchise by virtue of which such corporations exist, aside from the fact that we are consumers, and the value of every product upon the market depends upon the demand. The white man owning the world and everything contained in it may please Sam for a substitute for earnest labor, but will not meet the approval of the intelligent Afro-American who feels the insult of ages through the cursed law of "Jim Crowism." DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Be Sure Seller Is Owner. Our attention has been called to many losses sustained by our readers in purchasing goods and wares from persons and then afterwards having the same taken from them by persons claiming to be the owners. We wish to first state that the law is well settled in this state that no one can wrongfully deprive the owner of his property, and, further, that the owner can be deprived of the title to his property only with his consent or when he has acted in such manner as to lead others to believe that he has consented. Cases have been brought to our attention where persons renting rooms have failed to pay the rent when due, their goods and belongings having been held for a reasonable time as security for the unpaid rent, then the persons holding the same would sell the goods. Later the party purchasing the same would be deprived of the goods by the real owner and numerous inquiries have been received as to the relief, if any, the purchaser has. Now there is a lion which one has for rent on the personal goods and belongings of the party renting rooms, but the law provides as to how such property must be sold in order that a good title may pass to the buyer. It is also well settled that one buying goods and personal property must beware that the person selling the same has good title as well as the right to sell the same. We would advise that before buying any personal property from anyone, except some well established store, that our readers would make many inquiries as to the right of the person selling the goods, and if the person refuses to answer the inquiries openly and freely, then refuse to purchase the same. We also call the attention of our readers to a certain case before Judge John Stelk in the Municipal Court of Chicago, this week, where one party had purchased a piano for several hundred dollars, paying only about five or ten dollars down, the balance to be paid in monthly installments. The purchaser immediately sold the piano to a third party for two hundred dollars cash, then failed to pay any more on the original purchase price to the piano company from whom he purchased the instrument. The company traced the piano and took possession of the same. The third party brought suit to recover the piano, claiming that he had bought it from the purchaser. The Court after hearing the case decided that there was a conspicuous w and the true owner of his w and LET YOUR RENT MONEY PAY FOR IT TWO FLAT— HOUSE—or COTTAGE Our easy payment plan will enable you to buy a home with your rent money.

Washington urged the colored population by personal letters, appeals from the pulpits, through various newspaper publications, fraternal, civic and social organizations to observe the week beginning March 21 and ending March 28 as a general health week; that seminars, lectures, talks and addresses should be given on those two Sundays and on every available opportunity during said week on some phase of the subject of health, hygiene, sanitation, housing conditions, etc., to the end that, having gathered this knowledge, we might in the future be better prepared to meet and reduce the rate of sickness—to reduce the high death rate among the colored people of this country, due largely to preventable diseases. This was a good, timely movement—the very thing that this paper has been advocating for nearly three years. We are pleased to note that some notice and observation were taken of health week at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Frederick Douglass Center, St. Mark's M. E. Church, Ebenezer Baptist Church and perhaps other churches and organizations in this city that we know not of at this writing, but we are pained to note that more attention was not given to this matter, which is of paramount importance not only to the colored people, but to all the people of the nation. But the observance of this health week was nothing comparable with the importance of the event. The heralded and noised-abroad reports that the colored people are more susceptible to certain diseases; that they are carriers of certain preventable diseases; that it is dangerous to come in contact with colored people as servants, as artisans, clerks, workmen of every description are a malicious doctrine that has for its purpose, largely if not entirely, to promote the engender the spirit of segregation, "Jim Crowism" in the housing, in the working class, an endear to uproot his economic status. Hence it behooves the leading colored men and women, men of thought and sagacity to take notice and prepare themselves to combat this erroneous and malicious propaganda. This is our thought, friends; Things that pertain to our health and our welfare we should be ever ready and take the initiative toward protecting ourselves, and at the same time not to injure others, against the onslaught on our economic rights and condition. We should not wait for others to bring these deleterious reports and statements of our condition, but we ourselves should be the watchmen upon the walls—be on the alert and become thoroughly conversant with our physical health, social and economic status in every community in which we form a considerable part. Report of the Chicago Department of Health and the Negro. **Negro.** According to the tables compiled by the department of health of Chicago, available and reported in 1914, we note the following: In 1913 the colored population was 47,279. In 1912 the colored population was 46,284. In 1910 the colored population was 44,306. Death Report (Colored). In 1910 the number of deaths.....1,075 Death rate per 1,000.....24.26 In 1910 out of a population of 8, 195,551 whites there were 33,241 deaths and the white death rate was 15.14. In 1912 the colored population held both the purchaser and the third party to the grand jury for conspiracy, under $2,000 bonds. Therefore, we again caution our readers to beware of whom they purchase property, and endeavor to ascertain the true owner of all goods and chattels offered them by individuals. Eccentric Will Overruled An eccentric will has been declared void on the grounds that its provisions had neither reason nor public sentiment in their favor. The eccentric will was made by Miss Catherine MacCalg of Oban, and was overturned in the court of session, Edinburgh. By her direction eleven bronze statues of her father, mother, brothers and sisters were to be erected at Oban Hill at a cost of $5,000 each. OHICAGO APRIL 3,1915 Dr. A.

The Weekly Bulletin in commenting upon this situation in Chicago says: "A study of the death rates of the Negro, as shown in the tables given, as compared with those of the whites, gives rise to some interesting conjectures as to the need for pubition among the colored people nowing in Chicago. "Since 1910 this portion of opopulation has increased from 441 to 47,279, with a corresponding in the death rate from all causes the average scale of wages amorte the Negroes is low; consequently; is forced to live in dwellings whiterexistency, and unfit in every wiHe is often poorly educated—need to say, sometimes in complete ignorance of those things which contrib to public health. These factors, toher with a possible racial susceptibility to some forms of disease, may aunt for the high death rate in tubercosis, which is three and a third tim as great among the colored as amorte the whites. Also in pneumonia, a dir. gird disease, the rate is 371.7 per 1,000 population, as compared with 22.7 among the whites. On the other hand, however, the Negro appears to be practically immune to scarlet fever and diphtheria, the rate being 2.1 and 10.7, as against 18.8 and 38.0 respectively among the white race for these diseases. "Typhoid fever, a disease the prevalence of which it is almost needless to say is amenable to proper sanitary precaution, shows for the Negro a death rate of 22.6 and for the whites a death rate of 13.4—nearly twice as large for the Negro." FROM OUR EXCHANGES. Under the Shadows of the Courthouse. The next grand jury to assemble in Macon county may be able to make a record that will astonish some folks who think grand juries are organized only for the purpose of running down Negro criminals. For too many years we have permitted the grand juries to feel that that was their sole business. Hence there has grown up under the shadow of many courthouses a lawless gang of whites who somehow or other feel that they are beyond the reach of the law. But the day has come when that sort of condition will no longer be tolerated—The Tuskegee (Ala.) News (white).
