Columbus, O., April 16—The colored people of Ohio are just now actively and earnestly engaged in fighting two bills pending in the state legislature which they consider discriminatory. The first is what is known as the Platt-Ellell bill, which passed the house last week and which seeks to regulate an license, among a number of so-called "branches of limited medicine and surgery," chirpologists and masseuses. The bill in its present form, should it pass the senate and become a law with the governor's approval, will put out of business colored barbers, chirpologists and even colored barbers that gives facial massage. It provides that most pass an examination in anatomy, chemistry, physiology, hygiene and bacteriology. Scheme of State Pedic Society. Scheme or State Pedic Society. The discriminatory feature of the bill that if there is a society or assoc. such as a much of limited medicine or surgery, organization will recommend the examiners. There exists in this state a State Pedic Society, but same will not admit colored practitioners, and it is hardly probable that colored applicants for the examination would stand in such a position such as prejudiced examiners. The bill urging that the bill be amended in the senate to conform with the New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey laws regulating chropidoplasties, which exempted those who had been in the practice of the profession for three years from the examination.

Congressman Martin B. Madden, Representatives R. R. Jackson and S. B. Turner, Alderman Oscar De Priest, Hon. E. W. Wright, Hon. Louis B. Anderson Among Distinguished Diners. By Carey B. Lewis. Appomattox Day evening is fittingly celebrated last Friday day, April 11, by the Appomattox Club by one of the most significant banquets ever given in the city of Chicago. It was a meeting of signal and dual importance not only in the character and high standing of the personnel of the gathering, but as well in the influence it has in the community and Justice among men. The occasion was emphasized by the presence of Congressman Martin B. Madden as the chief guest of honor. The mention of a few of the personages present is significant indication of the quality and importance of the gathering. There was Alderman Oscar Driep, the first man of the race to represent the Arkansas Representative R. R. Jackson and Representative S. B. Turner, both representatives of the Aloe-Americans at Springfield, IL.; Hon. E. H. Wright, former member of the Cook County Commissioners, and President of the Cook County Bank Association; Hon. S.

The character and influence of this banquet can only be appreciated by those who enjoyed the inspiration and eloquence of the speeches. The chief figure was that distinguished leader and intrepid champion of human rights, Martin B. Madden, under whose leadership was defeated at Washington the inter-Marring Bill and the intrepid Jim Crow" car bill. One of the most beautiful and touching tributes which human lips have ever paid to womanhood is to be found in the speech of Mr. Madden in the House of Representatives in defense of the Afro-American womanhood. The program was short in number, but rich in qualification. It was presented with unusual dignity and appropriateness. His remarks were fitting and well chosen. Elonquent Wright Speaks. Eloquent Wright Speaks. Hon. E. H. Wright, the first president of the University of Washington, introduced by President Watkins, Mr. Wright said: "Some fourteen or fifteen years ago, there came together a number of men for the purpose of organizing this club. Its object was non-sectarian, non-political and placed upon the broad lines of good fellowship. It was located at 3144 Wahash avenue. There was a time when the club levied upon its board members to pay the expense. At all times it has entertained the best and highest of both races, numbering among them governors, judges, actors and men of thought. Information always welcomed the best; it does today, and always made it a point to have among its members men of character and standing, and delighted in showing courtesy (Continued on page 7).

The governor has been appealed to, and it is not believed that he will favor the bill. The other bill is one to amend the Ohio election laws, and one of the provisions is to require electors, when the governor as a further means of identifying them, give their color. The colored people of the state have to have the word "color" stricken out.

NO PROTECTION FOR AFRO-AMERICANS IN SOUTH CAROLINA Public Sentiment Such in State That Afro-Americans May Be Lynched in the Most Horrible Manner and No One Is Punished for Crime. Washington, April 16—The release on habeas corpus of Frederick Brown, an Afro-American held in Philadelphia for extradition to South Carolina to answer to a murder charge, was sought in the Supreme Court today on the ground that constitutional guarantee trial is a dead letter in South Carolina, so far as Negroes are concerned. "Public sentiment is such in the state of South Carolina that Negroes may be lynched in the most horrible manner and their bodies distributed as souvenirs," the brief filed with the court declares. "These actrices go unpunished for the reason that no jury could be found to convict those guilty of the offense. It is the unwritten law that if a Negro is so unfortunate as to kill a white man he may be killed and as an outlaw by any one who has the time to indulge in the diversion." Brown was denied a writ in the Pennsylvania courts. Pennsylvania courts. The Supreme Court took the case under advisement and its decision is awaited with interest. --- --- (Special to The Defender.)

Washington, D. C. April 16.—The recent press notice forecasting the advent of a bulletin on 'Afro-Americans in the United States' soon to be issued by the United States senate bureau, shows the remarkable advancement made by the race in this country. The statistical tables were planned and arranged by three employees of the census bureau—Charles E. Hall, William Jennifer and Robert A. Pelham, or under their direction by competent clerks, all race men. Mr. Hall's assignment covered population and occupations; Mr. Jennifer's agriculture and religious statistics, and Mr. Pelham's mortality and ownership of homes statistics. Mr. Jennifer and Mr. Hall labored for two years, prior to these assignments, trying to emphasize the importance of statistical data relating to the race in the United States, hoping thereby to show what the race contributes to the great economic scheme of the nation's wealth. The above-named employees have long since passed the novice stage. A few years ago Mr. Hall prepared a bulletin on "clay products," the first bulletin compiled by an Afro-American, and issued by the government on a commercial subject. Mr. Jennifer was prominently connected with the last religious census work, during which time he traveled extensively collecting data for the census bureau. He, again, besides being a good clerk, has achieved achievements along inventive lines. He signed to the work on the bulletin some time after the assignment of Messrs. Jennifer and Hall. All three have done and are doing an excellent work, and the people will, doubtless, give some evidence of appreciation of the men who have done so much and so well to show the true status of their race.

TO CORRESPONDENTS In writt matter Wedne for the Defender, have he office no later, than o. insure, publication and upon decept paper The crusade of the Chicago Defender against segregation in "social affairs" at the Wendell Phillips High School bore fruit this week by the issuance of an order prohibiting the "Jim Crow rule." Mrs. Ella Flingg Young, superintendent of schools, listened to a delegation of students which was put into effect in the high school by Miss Fannie R. Smith, deaf of girls, segregating Afro-Americans and whites on social afternoons. She read the letter of Miss Marion Talbot, dean of women at the University of Chicago, who was the first to protest against the plan of having Afro-American students dance "alone on one afternoon, and the white students on another." Mrs. Young's Idea. Mrs. Young learned that all of the members of the delegation protesting against the rule who had children, sent them to private schools, but nevertheless she determined to try out her own idea that the way to the social uplift of the Afro-American race is through the intellectual uplift. After a consultation with Miss Smith, it was determined to hold intellectual-social afternoons, instead of the purely social ones. The Afro-American and the white students mingle on equal terms. The students of the social afternoons has been eliminated, the students will hereafter on these occasions listen to lectures on various subjects and look at stereotype views ALEXANDER L. JACKSON CHOSEN SECRETARY OF WABASH ASSOCIATION Graduate of Harvard University and Class Orator—Has Qualifications and Personality—Formerly Field Secretary. Mr. Alexander L. Jackson, 4302 N. Market street, St. Louis, Mo., arrived in the city yesterday to become the executive secretary of the Wabash Avenue Association, 38th and Wabash avenue.

Under his administration the Wabash avenue department is expected to take a heap in membership and influence.

MOTEN VISIT DEFENDER OFFICE Self-made Career Has Put Him in Touch with America's Foremost Men and Women—Domiciled at Y. M. C. A. Major R. Moten, graduate of Hampton Institute, 1890, was in the city last, Saturday and Sunday. He came directly to the Defender office to see his schoolmate, T. S. Abbott. Major R. Moten entertained by friends and graduates of Hampton. Saturday, he was the guest of Mr. Abbott at the Appatton club. Sunday he visited several churches and left the city in the afternoon. Major Moten is president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia and is trustee of a number of schools. The esteem in which Major Moten is held by some of the best people of the country is shown by the fact that he is secretary of the Negro rural school fund and secretary of the Negro agricultural board of which Andrew Cunningham is treasurer and George Foster Feebody is treasurer. President Wilson has become interested in the Negro Organization Society and has written Major Moten, praising him for his good work. of historic interest and importance. It is also planned to have debates on current topics and in that way an intellectual rivalry between the students without regard to race or color. Mrs. Young's Statement. "I believe," said Mrs. Young, superintendent of the schools, "that the way to raise any and all races to an equal plane is through intellectual training. The social question will take care of itself when Afro-American men and women and white men and women can talk and discuss questions on social issues." The mental advancement of the Afro-American children in our schools is little short of miraculous. Years ago they were lolling around their seats and laughing, with no purpose of mind. Now they sit erect and tense. They pay attention and understand They are keen to learn and to improve themselves. No More "Jim Crow" Business. "They are absorbing the racial characteristics of the white people. That is why they work in the record with white children in intellectual tasks. I believe the experiment, carried out generally, would afford a means of taking at least the bitterness out of the race problem." The Defender has persistently fought the "Jim Crow" rule inaugurated by Miss Smith, dean of the girls' department, through these columns the race is shaping the "social session" became effective as we go to press. BUTLER BROTHERS ARE INSEPARABLE "Sol," the Athletic Marvel from Rock Island High School, and His Resourceful and Businesslike Brother Ben Visit Defender Office.

NO WATER TO FIGHT FIRE. A Plateau Relief Association Formed Rev. A. F. Owens to Take Charge of the Distressful Situation—in Time of Peace Will Prepare for Fire. is Wee, ia tinea a Shee pr Geet ee gar or ee, eee famous because of the {net that: the Just cargo of slavos whieh arrived in the port of Mobile during the- eivil war was run up tho river, the slaves ‘turned loose in what wis then known as the woods, and the vessel deserted and left to sink, It stands today as reminiscence of the bloody struggles ‘which Jed to the emancipation of the four and a half million Afro-Amerl- ans in the United States, The vil Inge has been constantly increasing in size, and today represents not only some of the most thrifty and thor- ough-going members of the race, but some few of them have amassed considerable amount in real estate and others are doing a thriving business, ‘Together with this, Plateau has be. come the mecca for industrial educa- tion in southern Alabama, Professor 1. J. Whitley, principal of the Plateau Normal and’ Industrial Institute, has turned the attention of the edueators of the state to this little town, and tho outlook was very auspicious when, on the twenty-sixth day of March, at about 2 o'clock in the afternooa, ‘the roof of Ue home of Mr. and Mrs, Get- ings was scon to be on fire, presum- ably ignited ty sparks from’ a defec- tive flue. ‘Thro is no water system in Plateau other than wells and nat- ural spiings, and the people, having lived in quictudo and unmolested for years, had not moro than a dozen ladders, notwithstanding the fact that there are nearly 500 homes, some of which are imposing twostroy struc: tures. Despite the offorts of those who answered the call for help, the flames spread until the entire home of the Gettings was a mass of flames, the spas83trom which soon ignited a VarbeF shojgfnoxt door. To this was added the ise of a brisk wind, which like a night errand of death carried sparks hitker and thither until. it seemed as if the once beautiful vil lage of Plateau had been suddenly changed into a veritable hell. Women and children, old men and maidens rushed widly about from place to ‘place, or stood wringing their hands ‘as they saw the accumulations of their entire lives devoured by the merciless flames which, ke the grim mouster death, unsatisfied after devouring all, Feached out its tongue and lapped forth for something else in a vain et- fort lo quench its unsatiable lust for destruction. Home after home was destroyed. Family after family was rendered homeless, ‘The wind often swept the sparks a distance of 300 feet in one direction, then, suddenly whirling as if to mock the spirit of the crowd, would send the sparks in another way, defying all efforts to anticipate its maneuvers or check its work of de- struction. Fire Company's Work, In a short time every man, woraan and child in Plateau was informally and without motion organized Into fire company. Buckets, washtubs, small kegs, basins, bowls, pitchers, anything that would hold as much as 8 half gallon of water was utilized by this ever-increasing host of humanity, who amid tears and sobs fought hour after hour without thought or concern about self iu the hope of checking the ever-increasing destructiveness of the mad rushing blaze, ‘Ofttimes persons would leave their own home and rush to thelr neighbor's house with a bucket of water, only to he surmioned back to their own, which hhad just eaught fire. Strong men ran about the placo assisting willing vol tunteers to the roofs of blazing houses and then leaving them to take their chances with the flames, while the ladder upon which they had climbed was removed to assist another yol- unter to the roof of another blazing house. Nothing was spared inthe wake of the flames, and the hearts of all the people seemed hushed in breathless suspense when the Plateau Normal and Industrial Institute, the center of attraction in the town and the hope of all the people, was quick- ly reduced to a heap of ashes, leaving nothing to remind them of thelr once Interesting educational center but the brick pillars and the piles of ashes. ‘The fire swept through the main por. tion of the town and was checked ‘only when it had spent its force on the last of the houses in about six diocks of the town. When it was over an inventory showed that more than forty houses had been reduced to ashes, and about 200 people had been rendered homeless and without food or raiment, Mobile’s Help. The citizens of Mobile heard tho nows and rushed to the scene. ° It at once dawned upon them that some- thing must be done immediately to relieve the suffering of the Plateau citizens, It is practically an Afro- American town, and, be ft sald to the credit of the raco ‘of Mobile, there has never been a time in the history of the city when men responded so quiékly to a call for relief. Returning to the clty, somo of ‘the fntellectual, business and professional men of Mobile organized themselves ‘at once into a Plateau Rellet Associa. tion, and more than $40 was pald in cash to start a fund for the rellet of the Plateau ‘sufferers, An. investigat- ing committes was: sent out the fol ot ia sacs ped Re huied ie sche Abana for assistance and see that no un- scrupulous person had taken advent- ‘age .of the condition and report the same to the committee, which met the following evening. ‘The cash subserip- tions paid in by the second meoting amounted to considerably over $100, ‘together with wearing apparel, bed clothing and other necessities ‘given by loyal friends, white and colored. Rev, A. F. Owens, dean of tho theo. ogical department of Selma Univers: ty, and who for more than forty years ‘has been interested in works of char- ity in Mobile county, was invited to ‘come to Mobile at onco and take charge of the situation. He responded ‘by telegram and will begin a sys: tematic canvass for funds as soon as ‘ho arrives in Mobile. ‘The suffering of the people of Plateau s augmented by the fact that because of the stren- uous times many of them have been out of work during the winter and jothers have been merely eking out ‘an gxistence, and it is to be hoped that “from this conflagration a: great Tesson may bo leirned by the citizens to prepare for war in times of peace. No community is safe without arrange- ments for fighting fire. ‘The various families could get together and have a deep well bored, or a large cistern built, to be higher than tho tallest house, in a place most convenient to ali, and a small gasoline engine could vo installed, thereby making it pos- sible, with piping, not only to have fan independent water system, but in case of fire a stuficient supply of water to prevent the destruction of so many homes, aside from: the fact that the Knowledge of safety would increase the property valuation of each indi- ‘Vidual far more than would be the expense on the property. | In too many instances the race s apt to spend its time in prayerful meditation, singing the song “Phe ‘Lord Will’ Provide," and squandering their hard-earned ‘money in revelry ‘and pleasure, instead of making thor ough preparation for emergencies which the experience of all thelr predecessors should teach them must some day, soon or late, come.

Roy Scott Quilty Jolns THE CHILAGO DEFENDER DEFENDER LEADS IN NUMBER OF BIG DEPARTMENTS Twelve Persons Edit Twelve Different Departments — Only Race Paper in the Country Featuring What the Race Is Doing Here and There in All Lines of Endeavor. READERS TAKE NOTE. By Patient Toll The Defender Has Secured a Staff to Grapple with All Big Questions of the Race—No Compromising, No Cringing. Last Saturday the newsboys handling The Chicago Defender sold 5,000 extra copies. People wanted to read about the Johndon-Willard fight and the election of Hon. Oscar Do Priest to the Common Council. They wanted to read more; they wanted the news and knew that could be found in the WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY. This paper has twelve different departments: Art and Intellect, Housekeeping, Current Fashions, Keep Healthy, Legal Help, Book Reviews, Clubs, Churches, Society, Sport and Music and Dramatic. Each department is edited by competent persons who are alive to everything of interest in their respective lines. When The Defender wishes to drive home a point, to make influence for or against a certain principle or act, it calls upon its cartoonist. A few years ago it startled publishing news of the clubs of the city. The space given them has been so appreciated that there is not a club woman in the city without The Defender. Column after column is given to the churches and a special writer to enter all the society events of the city. One of the most appreciated parts of a daily or weekly paper is its sporting page. People all over the civilized world are wild about baseball. Chicago is the center for enthusiastic baseball fans. The greatest players of the race have played on the diamonds here and stars of every magnanimous game under the eye of "Tulce" Foster. Pride in racing races have all been played up by a sporting editor who knows the sport game thoroughly. The first big department to be installed was that of Keep Healthy, by Dr. Wilberforce Williams. This column has been a means of educating thousands of people along health and sanitary lines. The Health Department in Chicago Targets this department in The Defender as a big asset to the city government. Health Department. Dr. Williams has a national reputation as a specialist on tuberculosis and his influence has been felt in this paper. A young woman who is bright and energetic, a reader of many magazines and an expert housekeeper, has a department known as "The Housekeeper. Then, too, there is the Curator of the Museum, charming and fascinating writer; a practical modiste with French training. These two departments are the pride of our women readers. Books Reviewed Weekly. All the books that have been recently published by men of the race and magazines containing articles on the race question are given attention by our own book reviewers. One of the valuable aids to many of our readers is the Legal Help Department. This department is conducted by two of Chicago's ablest lawyers and each week they give a fund of information to those wishing important information, yet costing nothing. Musical and Dramatic.

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 HIGH-BROWN FACE POWDER 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. Also Manufacturers of Ro-Zol Face Bleach, Aida Overton Walker Hair Pomade and Other Toilet Articles. Clubs Were First. cago.

HACKNEY ABOUT CONCERT Chicago, April 13, 1915. W. Henry Huckacky, Mgr. All Colorized Composers' Concert, Chicago, III.

We all admire the compositions of Coolidge Taylor, Will Marion Monod Johnson, Many of us recall the concerts of Sisseryetta Jones, "The Black Pattie" took place at the old Cenzo Theater. Her concerts were the sensation of the season and were a success artistically. I personally know many colored people who have studied earnestly and diligently the compositions of my prominent composers and I feel quite confident when we have a large cloral society of mixed voices of colored people under the direction of me and I feel quite confident people of Chicago in general will be interested in such an organization, just as we are interested in a concert given Friday evening, April 23. I personally will be present and it will be wonderful to hear her speak. Hagan of New Haven, the young pianist, who will play her own concerto. Your piano teacher will be a great teacher; she is the first woman to win the $2,000 Foreign Fellowship from Yale University.

Grler The Corn of Long Ago: Many ways of cooking corn are known, but the simpler are the better. A sturdy race of ploneers throw on mush and milk and corn pone and hoe cake. Civilization and luxury have led the children of these ploneers to look with disdain on corn, and to prefer to secure its great health-giving properties through other mediums. We have been taking our corn by way of pork and beef.—Maysville (Ky.) Bulletin. APPOMATTOX CLUB HAS NOTED GUESTS (Continued from page 1.) to men of character of both races. The man has always stood for the highest and the highest in the scale of progress and civilization and our ideal? Looking over our history we have made great progress. From a handful we have come to a waiting list of 110 and the signatures of the president and secretary are good for any amount and the treasury is far from being depleted. When the Immigration Bill was up in Congress they should have spoken. When %semination is going on this country this club should be the first to oppose it. This club must stand for the best for the race. We must look to the goal and reach it. Hon. Louis B. Anderson was the next speaker. Attorney Anderson is regarded as one of the wittiest after-dinner speakers in this section of the country and on this evening he did not disappoint his friends. He was cool and sweet. His subject was "An idea." Mr. Anderson wittily called the banquets' attention to the fact that his subject was a surprise to him. He could only account for it on the theory that Representative Turner bung present at the speakers' table banquets master, since he was the editor and publisher of a newspaper bearing that name. "I have an idea," said Mr. Anderson, "that the gentlemen gathered around this banquet board would rather that my ideas be "continued in the banquets" and bowitching one, when all good citizens yearn for home. It is meet and proper, therefore, that I smother my ideas so that Congressman Madden, whom we are all anxious to hear, be given the opportunity to deliver his message, which we know will be not difficult, with great interest to this group of people. R. R. Jackson Pleases. R. R. Jackson Pleases. Major R. R. Jackson, known all over the country now as the "Fighting Man," maintains the museum and very well known speaker, had for his subject "Lawmakers." He said, "the real lawmaker is with us tonight. While he has not written any great laws which bear his name, he has at different times defended the race against many iniquitous laws introduced in congress. Among the lawmakers of the race were Rech, R. K. Bruce, R. K. Mississippi; R. K. Bruce, a sonnet from Mississippi; Major John R. Lynch was a speaker of the House in Mississippi in 1872; Senator T. T. Alaine, R. B. Elliott, Robert Smalls, Henry P. Henry, George W. Murray, Wm. Rainey, Harry W. Bass, Geo. Smith. Those from this state, who have been members of the Legislature have John E. Thomas, George Eckton, Edward J. Morris, James Bish, major J. C. Buckner, William C. Bish, major C. Buckner, William C. Green, Alex Lane, S. B. Turner and R. R. Jackson. Hon. S. B. Turner started the ball rolling to defeat the Constitutional Convention movement now before the Legislature and had the courage and stamina to make a great speech against the bill. He introduced a number of bills for the benefit of the people of his race, the courage and stamina of the Police Act and the Green laws discriminated against the race. Mr. Turner introduced a bill appropriating the 57,000 for the completion of the 57th Regiment Armory. From Appomattox down to the present time they have "made good," and we have just recently elected Hon. Oscar De Priest to the council of this city." Mr. Watkins introduced Mr. Dr Priest as the first member of Appatomax Club to be elected alderman. Mr. De Priest said: "It is a great pleasure to be in distinguished company. My friend, 'Job' Jackson often invites me to lunchcon, but it's always a 'free lunch counter.' I was greatly interested in the bond issue that passed on last Tuesday, which proposes to help fallen women. The city hopes to bring back to the paths of recititude these immoral women. The city hopes to help these women usually are the cause of the downfall of these women. I am opposed to prostitutes living over me or above me. Owners of buff fats ought to live in certain districts. I approve of segregated districts. I believe in keeping the neighborhood you live in respectable. The race we are identified with needs to have a representative on the school board. Let the demand come from the people for such recognition. I wish to thank each and every one for the support given me." President Watkins gave Mr. Martin B. Madden, the guest of the evening, a splendid introduction, stating that "our Congressman" was always right and safe and an honor to the state and nation. Congressman Madden said: "I am very glad to be permitted to come to Appomattox Club. In the early days of government it was not a rule to govern by rule or govern this nation. The abington government grows and lives and thrills with potent life and strength, liberty and hope. It is not in days of war that liberty is needed, but in days of peace. The one great test for people to govern themselves was during the civil war, on the battle field of Appomattox. In America and all nations are a part of the government. We have the rights of the people are respected. We recognize and believe in the rights of humanity. Men are considered as factors and not of race.

If a white man and a black woman want to marry, it should be a matter for them to decide. To make it possible, the law would leave the children of such marriages without protection, which they need and should have. It would leave many young girls at the mercy of brutes willing to take advantage of their virtue and then desert them to a life of shame. Why should innocent people be denied the same protection of the law which is accorded women of any other race? It will not do to say there is no condition to which I have alluded. Every one knows better, else how does it happen that we have so many people of mixed blood in the United States? PACIFIC Let the law of marriage stand as it is, and trust to the pride of race, both among the Negroes and Caucasians to contract their marriages with their own people. The purpose of this law is to further degrade the Negro, to make him feel the iron hand of tyranny so long practiced against him. I plead to you members of the House to open your hearts and do the thing that is just; justice in this case can not be met out except by the defeat of this amendment.

A seven-course dinner was served in pump and style. The club rooms had just been newly renovated and the hand painted walls and brilliant electrics added greatly to the beauty of the occasion. Appomattox Day will be held the next day in the greatest day in its history. Dr. S. C. Dickerson is chairman of the entertainment committee, and Capt. J. S. Nelson chairman of the House Committee.

New York City, N. Y., April 16—The organization and recruiting into the New York National Guard of a new regiment, officiered from colonel to corporal by Afro-American bids to become a reality in a short time. Since the passage of a bill creating this new Afro-American regiment, considerable speculation has been made that the military authorities here regarding the military of enlisting this regiment. The daily papers have contained a number of comments regarding it and interviews have been published with high officials in the National Guard of a number of States relating to what has been termed "an experiment of introducing racial lines" in the National Guard of this State. Recently the adjutant general, desirous of getting expressions from the adjutant generals of a number of States where Negroes are National Guard, directed communication them proposing questions and asking for opinions, based upon their knowledge of Afro-American troops in their respective States. Post Prints Letter. The New York Evening Post of recent date in commenting upon the question of recruiting a full Negro regiment in the State of New York, printed the reply of Adjutant General P. S. Dickson of the State of Illinois. The reply was so broad and signally praiseworthy of the efficiency of the Illinois that they printed his letter to the juventant general of New York in full. Following the full text of General Dickson's communication: General Dickson's Let' r. Dear Sir: I note your inquiry, as to wi' consider, an appealed to the people of Illinois, to come from Illinois to the Crossroad. Insuspect as this organization has been designated for a number of years, and asst was not in office at that time, an amble to give information to the public, an amble to mediate preceded this organization. I assume, however, that the fact of organization was based upon demonstrated effort, and the further fact, that members of this race are certainly as loyal and the members of any other race of our citizenship. We have in Illinois a complete regiment of infantry (colored), and I have no knowledge of the regiment, and the sacrifices of time and interest, and the part of both officers and men for voluntary organizations, which is absolutely different from the regiment, this regiment ranks among the best of the military service of Illinois. Replying to your request for expression based on the knowledge of the regiment, but were possessed of the knowledge which the present organizer has brought to us, as to their efficiency, we oppose such an organization. I have no hesitancy in replying in the negative upon the regiment, as hard working and as efficient, as the one we now have. F. S. DICKSON.

The Afro-American citizens, as a unit, have been singing the praises of Adjunct General Dickson of Illinois for the splendid tribute which he paid the Eighth Regiment of that State as to its efficiency and loyalty. It is a matter of common comment among the Afro-Americans here that in event of their success in being enlisted into the State service, it will be largely, if not entirely, admired. The General Dickson so clearly pointed that members of this race "pardon as loyal and patriotic as members of any other race" and would be a credit to the citizen soldiery of New York, as they have been to the State of Illinois.

THERE ARE SOME GOOD PEOPLE in the world, to be sure, “and there are some wolves masquerading in sheep's clothing. We are led to believe from childhood that if we but follow in the footsteps of our spiritual adviser, whether he be protestant or catholic, we are travel'ng the right road that brings us to eternal happiness: What a > awakening awaits us when we grow old eaough to think for Ives. A vast majority of the inen who wear the garb designated he church, judging not by their speech but by their actions, are lly unfit to act as leaders, and‘ follow their example in some 3 means a lowering of gof own standards. The General Board inisterial Relief and Sustenation of the Presbyterian Church ye “aiembers of the Presbytery of Baltimore, Md., a two highly esteemed clergymen of our race were che scheduled hour for the dinner they appeared in the where the banquet was to be held. Just before being wowever, the Rev. Dr. Robert P, Kerr (white), acting chair- , as notified by one of the attaches of the City Club that the colored pastors could not remain. ‘This nan of God politely (?) noti- fied the two gentlemen that under the circumstances they could not sit through the dinner, Whereupon they immediately left the tablc and quietly departed. “The occurrence was REGRETTED by many of the ministers present,” and that was all the action taken. These are the people, too, who are supposed to follow in His footsteps and guide their locks likewise. Can any self-respecting person believe they have the true spirit when they deny their own brothers? Is it to be wondered at that prejudice is rife when examples such as this are set before the people? Every man who sat down at that banquet “te, even though they offered a feeble protest, is unworthy of his ing and is nothing more or less than a wolf in sheep's clothing. MAKING MEN OUT OF BOYS. ~° CCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT of the chief of police “| Texas, OUR boys have been guilty of fewer crimes during ree years than the hoys of any other race, and this fatter- is due in a great measure to the system of paroling boys ¥ offences, through the Boy Cadets. The restraining he Boy Cadet moveinent is being felt all over America agency is doing as much to lessen crime as statistics gath- ‘any places will prove. ‘The officials of the Boy Cadet emand that the mother or guardian of every boy paroled -e each week that the boy has been kept from loafing on the . that he has attended the public schools, and that he has ed Sunday school somewhere, This report is approved by the sand turned over to the juvenile officer. All of this watchful- udscare after the boy has made a misstep. If an ounce of pre- sention is! worth a pound of cure, why not take more interest in your boy's welfare while he is yet on the good list. The fathers and motliers of today are prone to spare the rod and spoil the child, ‘The world seems to be whirling around faster than it did when our fathers and mothers were children, Everything is done on the minute order. Fathers are so deeply engrossed in their business that they leave the care of the children to theie wives, who in turn shift the responsibility to anyone who will assume it, being absorbed themselves in clubs, ‘” politics and every other endeavor in life that in other days their sex were ignorant of. A woman cannot successfully run a’home and run the streets at the same time, one or the other must fall by the wayside, and unfortunately it ig the home, Our Chicago streets are filled with “¢ mieff betwee the ages of fourteen and twenty, who seem to 6 ambition cr.2im in life. Poolroms, clubs and saloons look ing and they are soon lost in the downward ‘whirl, and all because -¥ have not had proper home training, clean attractions have not been offered them. ‘Their whereabouts the previous night not ques- tioned ; in short, no interested and watchful eye kept on them. The "Y”” has done much to remedy these evils. Mothers and fathers can do more. Our young mien are worth the effort, why not save’ them? | . _ DON’T FORGET the same man you bought your coal from all winter undoubtedly-will sell you ice all this coming summer, so it sabeliooves you to stand in with him. ‘To make up for it, however, you he with compunction get a Jittle rough with the janitor, his services Fill not be needed badly for a few months. ‘ WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON made few, if any, pre-election amises, so he has no strings to his Kite and we are going to expect -~ to be above the ground all the time.

THE PROHIBITION WAVE jis sweeping over the country at an alarming rate, already nineteen states, nearly one-half of the forty- ight sovereign commonwealths of the republic, are wearing blue rib- bons, and’ from present indications before many more years roll around twice the number will be in the line, In the order of their admission to the prohibition column the states are: Main, Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ten- nessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Wash- ‘ington, Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa and Utah. Maine and Kansas started the fight and in consequence had to bear the brunt-of criticism. All manner of unpleasant things were hurled at them. It was prophe- sied the business interests would go to the wall; panics would ensue and all manner of unjust and untrue things were said calculated to ‘hold them up to derision. Despite all this there was no great upheaval, prosperity reigned as it did before the liquor traffic was dispensed-with ‘till now it is not so difficult to convince a state or an individual that sobriety, temperance and moral cleanliness pays. People are learning by bitter experience that the traffic in liquor brings misery, suffering, disorder arid bad citizenship and those who have liad the experience of living in temperance states will tolerate no more of it on any terms. [Perhaps if some effective measurcs could be put into action whereby ‘the sale of intoxicants could be regulated in a manner to do the least harm. This wave of reform would not have had such an impetus, Recently the government took under its control the dispensing of cer- tain drugs injurious to the human race, drugs that have made of ten and women fiends. The result will be a stronger, healthier and saner nation. ‘The liquor traffic while regulated to a certain extent falls far short of the mark and as there is no happy medium ground prohibition is the ultimate end, , LOYALTY TO THE FLAG, THE QUESTION OF LOYALTY TO THE FLAG is one that always brings forth a heated argument and many points for and ‘against the support of this government by members of ottr race are forcibly brought out. One writer in the St. Paul Pioneer has this to say: “Yes, certainly, the Negro beyond a doubt ought to be loyal to ‘a flag that allows him to be maimed, lynched and burned at the stake for mere suspcions of guilt. Certainly, he ought to'be loyal to a flag that gives him no protection of life or property. Certainly, he ought to uphold the fag which in time of peace practices every degredation and humiliation it can upon him, a country which, when all is quiet and serene, says that you are not wanted by this government and our army and navy does not desire your services except as a mass attend- ant. Surely these incivilities and reproaches ought to encourage loy- ally. Nor is other proof lacking to encourage loyalty. ‘The Cattcasion complains that we are uneducated, but the minute we become educated he closes the door of hope in our face. Again he complains that we are not property holders, but the minute we begin to secure property he passes segregation ordinances, stones us out of our newly acquired home or otherwise obstructs or intimidates us. The North is just as prejudiced as the South, only it is not so frank and open with its vitup- erations. Every effort the Negro’ niakes'along honest lines is check- mated and when in despair he falls from grac*, the cry is that he is naturally criminally inclined.” There is more than a grain of truth in what the writer says and yet there are many reasons why we should fight and die for the stars and stripes, for what we have and sor-Wlta! we are today we should he thankful. It was an all wise Providence that brought us from a land of darkness to one of sunshine, from sttr- roundings where the densest ignorance prevailed, to a civilization the highest the world has ever known. Every race has gone through the crucible. It is the test of their worth, We should not expect to be any exception to the rule. To be satisfied means that We are not pro- gressing, but is it necessary to berate the entire white race because we are dissatisfied with our lot? AFTERMATH. THE WHITE PRESS, THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, have been fairer.to the defeated champion" than was to be expected under.the circumstances. There is a feeling of satistaction all around and if this recent fistic encounter could have sealed the fate forever of boxing the masses would be still more satisfied. ‘The public peace and welfare and the interest of both races clemand that such spectacles be outlawed in future and that all the authority and powers of gov- ernments constituted for the protection of society should be exércised and strained to the utmost limit, if necessary, to prohibit and prevent the further repetition of them, Surely there are enough unavoidable causes for irietion and for stirring up strife, without deliberately planning and pulling off these exhibitions so prolific of widespread animosity and conflict between the two races compelled to live side by side on this continent. The white nan and the black man who engage in such exhibitions, and the fomenters and promoters of them, are enemies to their respective races of the most incendiary (ype and all the influence of ‘the responsible elements of hoth races should be exerted to restrain them from their pernicious course as a matter of public self-protection. It is an outrage upon common sense and upon the peaceable and law-abiding people that fistic contests in the ring should have ever been permitted. Let us have no more of them. We are as a nation not fully civilized and cannot stand such sports as this as forcign nations. | STICKING TO THE PARTY. | TO THE VICTOR BELONGS THE SPOILS. The Republican party will again assume’the duties of running a big city like Chicago. |The recent election proved conclusively that the thinking people are ‘tired of Democratic misrule, tired of being taxed to the limit to sup- port a gang of unscrupulous politicians. Enough money flows into ‘the city treasurer's office which, if expended properly, would make this a model city. from every civie point of view. As it is, we have dirty unpaved streets, poor lighting, inadequate car Systems, inefficient Police protection and so on down the line. We have twenty-six sep- arate taxing bodies to add to our joy. Few people ask “Where does ‘the money go?” It is too patent, too absurd. What has been done in a local way pales into insignificance compated to what has gone on at the seat of government. Here millions have been juggled with a careless abandon that has made the whole country sit up and take notice. ‘The Democrats are like hungry wolves; they have been kept out of office so long when they finally gat in they lost their reason, and they figure—and rightly—their tenure in office is limited so they must make the most of their stay. Mayor Thompson will undoubtedly ask for the resignation of every important Democratic office holder. Their places will be filled with good staunch Republicans, the kind that has stuck to the good old party when those within its ranks tried to rock the boat. Bobbing up serenely from every nook and corner is the ‘Republican fence climber. He scents a job, tries the “loyal sup- »orter” rush act, thinking his foppings have not been noticed by the rowers that be. To such men a deaf ear shotild be turned; they are ‘ought but political tricksters, having their weather vane out to catch he wind whichever way it blows. They are fooling no one but them- ‘elves and will have to seek some other means of livelihood. No ‘onger cain they feed at the public crib. z NOW THAT THE BASE BALL.
