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.

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.

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 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.

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).

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.

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 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.

It took the energy a fight and managers to prevent a fight in the first inning. Wickware hit Derrick with a pitched ball and the latter threw his bat at him.

Then, again, the visitors to Tube Foster's team had been racing all kinds of witching in the months, and they laid on the willow a vengeance. Victoria's snappy fielding helped close the hole, starting double play the night. An overflow crowd threatened to inforce ground rules, but the park attendants kept the fans well back of the foul lines. The flagging of the center field fence as a two-base hit would have saved Victoria at least three of the Giants runs, while Rose's failure to knock down a nasty liner in left field, sent another brace pattering across the plate. Victoria knocked Ball out of the box in the eighth. Jimmy Raleigh, from sunny California, was the chosen one to start hostilities. Raleigh's clever southpaw wing held the Giants safe in the first inning, but he grooved one for Hutchinson in the second with Santop on first base, the short fielder holding the cork center over the fence. Hanson took up the slab work in the fourth, and was touched up for three more runs. McNair getting a homer in the fourth. Bauchman singled in the sixth. Rose letting the ball get away from him. McNair and Francis counted on what should have been nothing more than a base hit. The Giants only nicked Grimes' offerings for two blows, one of these being a decidedly scratchy affair. Victoria and one big inning, the fifth, in which the club batted around once. Grover went out on a hit to short. Harworth singled, and Hanson dropped one over Hutchison's head for a base. Menges lined to Hill in deep left, but Butler advanced the men with a nice safety. Kelly's shashing single to center counted two frames, and when Reli pulled one over second, Butler came with the tiếng run. In the eighth Rose banged one over the fence, and that ended the scoring. Victoria had several nice chances to tally, but the hit was not forthcoming.

Seattle, Wash., April 16.--Walter Mallia, the left handler, came up on the advance down the left hander, to Seattle to a 3 to 2 victory over Rube Poster's famous American Giants of Seattle. This is the first time that Seattle has ever won a game from the colored stars, who are collected from parts of the league. The Schneider gave them a neck-and-neck shirt. He used it to burn, plenty of stuff and in addition to burn stuff and control. His action in delivering the ball even at this early period in his career is one of the most memorable. Bill James or Peter Schneider. He扣头, however, the magnificent style of James and the strength and terrific power of Schneider. No Hits Off Mails in Five Innings. In the first five innings Mails did not allow a hit, and although Francis scored in the third it was largely due to a wide throw by Courtney to first. A perfect neg by Courtney would have prevented the run. Mails was, to a certain extent, responsible for the run, as he walked Francis for a sticker. Bauchman skied to third. Whitmore hit a grounder, which Courtney added perfectly, but in throwing to first was way off to Beatty's left and the ball went into the roped space which permits runners to advance two bases. This put Francis on third and Whitworth on second. Barber drove a hot grounder near first, which Beatty handled, touched first and shot home. It was a nice play, properly executed, but Francis scored. Ball was third out on a grounder to Beatty. This was the only run the Glants grimber the first night inning, when with his friend the mishmiring, with the timing for Bauchman, dropped the ball just before neither wavy battled for Whitworth and hilly baffled for Courtney made by left, center and short. Raymond grimber, neither Iapert nor Courtney could beat him, but he perate effort for it himself, but reached it only one hand and could not hold it. The colored boys needed was one more run to the, but their chances faded when Barber, the second inning grounded to Courtney, and he made a perfect pig to Bending, ending the game. Seattle won in the first two periods, Beauty jumped on Whitworth for a home run, and the Giants first innning. Bowieck got on through a bad throw by Hutchinson. Bark hit to the left, and Bowieck got at second, but the bag was uncovered at second, the out was on Nippert hit to Franklin, and the cock coming to third. He missed him and Unipry Fairy called both runners Then Hill, who is captain of the colored team, kleided himself out of the game, and then the team went to bench were fined $5 each. After quite a delay Hill replaced Hill, going to center and then gave him a ground ball, man gave Hutchinson a bad grounder Hutchinson got him at first, but in the meantime Bowcock scored. Henry bowcock got the ending in with a飞 to Franicks. Whitworth was still a trifle wild in the second period and walked Raymond. Mails, who was the heavy hitter for the team, was the real single over second. Raymond made third and came home on Beatty's long to center, which went as a sacrifice. Whitworth Down to Business, the warden's workroom, grand hall in the building was given surety support, Buchman, at second, robbed Cadman of an apparently safe hit in the third, and Barb's drive into the mud hole in lee in the eighth. Seattle got a couple of hits in the sevent, Courtney and Malls hung, but fast fielding protected the plate. Beatty did the star fielding for Seattle in addition to making the only home run of the season.

FIRE WIPES OUT PLATEAU; PRETTY ALABAMA TOWN FIRE WIPES OUT PLATEAU; PRETTY ALABAMA TOWN Small Blaze Develops into Conflagration that Destroys Historic Village—Mobile People Help Families Rendered Homeless—No Organized Fire Company—Nothing Left but a Heap of Ashes. A Plateau Relief Association Formed —Rev. A. F. Owens to Take Charge of the Distressful Situation—In Time of Peace Will Prepare for Fire. 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 destruction. Fire Company's Work. In a short time every man, woman and child in Plateau was informally and without motion organized into a fire company. Buckets, washtubs, small keys, basins, bowls, pitchers, anything that would hold as much as a half gallon of water was utilized by this ever-increasing host of humanity, who amid tears and soils fought hour after hour without thought or concern of checking the ever-increasing destructiveness of the mad rush blaze. Oftimes persons would leave their own home and rush to their neighbor's house with a bucket of water, only to be summoned back to their own, which had just caught fire. Strong man ran about the place assisting willing volunteers to the roofs of blazing houses and to the windows of the chances with the flames, while the ladder upon which they had climbed was removed to assist another volunteer to the roof of another blazing house. Nothing was spared in the wake of the flames, and the hearts of all the people seemed hushed in breathless suspense when the Plateau Normal and Industrial Institute, the school of the hope of the all of the people, was quickly reduced to a heap of ashes, leaving nothing to remind them of their once interesting educational center but the brick pillars and the piles of ashes. The fire swept through the main portion of the town and was checked only when it had spent its force on the last of the houses in about six months. When it was over an inventory showed that more than forty houses had been reduced to ashes, and about 300 people had been rendered homeless and without food or ralment. Mobile's Help. The citizens of Mobile heard the news and rushed to the scene. It at once dawned upon them that something must be done immediately to relieve the suffering of the Plateau citizens. It is practically an Afro-American town, and, be it said to the heir of the race of Mobile there in the midst of the city when men responded so quickly to a call for relief. Returning to the city, some of the intellectual, business and professional men of Mobile organized themselves at once into a Plateau Relief Association, and more than $40 was paid in cash to start a fund for the relief of the community. The relief committee was sent out the following day to investigate even claim for assistance and see that no unaccentured person had taken advantage of the condition and report the same to the committee, which met the following evening. The cash subscriptions paid in by the second meeting amounted to considerably over $100, while the wearing apparel, bedding and other items purchased by a loyal friends, white and colored, Rev. A. F. Owens, dean of the theological department of Selma University, and who for more than forty years has been interested in works of charity in Mobile county, was invited to come to Mobile at once and take charge of the situation. He responded by telegram and will begin a systematic canvass for funds as soon as will be possible. The people of the people of Plateau is augmented by the fact that because of the strengeness times many of them have been out of work during the winter and others have been merely eking out an existence, and it is to be hoped that from this conflagration a great lesson may be learned by the citizens to prepare for war in times of peace. No community is safe without arrangement, and the families could get together and have a deep well bored, or a large cistern built, to be higher than the tallest house, in a place most convenient to all, and a small gasoline engine could be installed, thereby making it possible, with piping, not only to have an independent water system, but in case of fire a sufficient supply of water to prevent the destruction of so many homes, aside from the fact that the property valuation of each individual far more than would be the expense on the property. In too many instances the race is apt to spend its time in prayerful meditation, singing the song "The Lord Will Provide," and squandering their hard-earned money in revelry and pleasure, instead of making thorough preparation for emergencies which the experience of all their predecessors should teach them must some day, soon or late, come.

MANY TRIBES THERE. Loving Mother and Father Hear from Son, Who Writes Interestingly of Spanish-American Cities—Finds the Chicago Defender at a Number of Places. On Board Ship Water, water everywhere. Nothing to see but sky and water. Nothing to do but walk up and down deck and think of home. We boarded the tug at Angel Island the morning of November 5 and were taken to the dock at San Diego. The docks are right beside the expedition buildings, and we got a good view of them. They were complete on the outside, but I could not say how they looked on the inside. They are large, cream-colored buildings, with dome roofs painted green. The boat sailed at high noon, with about 1,400 souls aboard. We have had a fairly smooth sea so far. Stormed a little night before last and last night, but not enough to become worried about. Many of the passengers beaseak, but aside from a slight headache the water has been calm on the deck and I am feeling fine. I stand on deck and I am breathing and evening and breathe the good sea air for an hour or two at a time. The long journey across the water is almost over. It has been nearly a month since I started this letter, but as everything on board has been so monotonous I have not had anything to write in particular, and I know you will be more interested in knowing I arrive safely, than in the details of this trip. Arriving at Honolulu, Hawaii, I found the island exactly like Pasadena, Cal., except that it a little greener and a few more tropical plants grow there than in California. It is truly a seaport town, with a mixed population of about 200,000—Chinese, Hawaiians and Negroes. The Hawaiians are the ones that some cannot be told. The true natives, however, resemble Filipinos or American Indians. There have been shows and con- fests for our amusement on board. However, it has been a long and tire- some trip and everyone will be glad we were there. We stopped at Guam a day and night. That is a small island away south of our course. The heat is frightful, but I am stand- ing it well, and do not expect any troubles. Mother, dear, you wouldn't your own son right now. Beard and can have certainly worked wonders. have certainly workedonders. We have arrived at our journey's end, all safe and 'most everyone well. I will not go into a lengthy description of the place in this letter, as I want to get it off on the next mail boat sailing. Manila is an old Spanish city. The old section is Spanish—the churches, bridges, etc., built on the Spanish plan. The old Spanish section consists of two story buildings, with the upper story setting far out above the lower story, and barred windows of fancy heavy wrought iron. The streets wide, wide, and sidewalks not over two and one-half to three feet wide. Some city. The American part is mostly modern, but a great part of the buildings are on the Spanish plan. The money here values one-half that of American. American money is called "gold." The penny, or centavo, is twice the size of an American penny, but only one-half the value. The dollar, or major peso, is mostly iron, I guess, with a small percentage of silver, two pesos equaling one dollar. The dollar is the sounding you a dime, or ten centavos, so you can get an idea of them. The native women all dress in the Spanish style—large, flapping sleeves, and very fancy shawls. Some of the women are very beautiful. The natives in the city live in houses of wood and stone, but those of the outlying parts live in what is known as a barrio, which consists of a number of straw houses grouped together, without any pretense of streets. The people of our barrios include children, who I am told that in other parts of the islands they keep hogs and cows. There are several tribes on the islands—Niggerotes or dwarfs, igrotes, Moros, and a whole lot that I do not as yet know the names of. The Island of Corregidor is two and a half hours from Manila by water. I find all of the sanitary conveniences that we have in America. Met an old friend of mine from Colorado. He hardly recognized me called my mame to him. He looks well and healthy. You will remember he was very slim in Colorado. We had many a good laugh and pleasant thoughts of old times. "ur island has an electric car line a cable line to the top, as it is a big mountain of rock. We call it "the rock." Now, mother, dear, you and father write to me as often as you can, and the same, the same, a month. Give regards to all of my friends in Chicago, and tell all who ask that I am feeling all. The love in the world to you and father. YOUR LOVING SON. P. S.—You would be surprised at the number of places I find the Chicago Defender. SERVES LIGHT LUNCHES s. H. T.

WOOD DRAMATIC READER RARE GENIUS Former Chicago Boy, Now Traveling in the Interest of Tuskegee Institute, Entertains 200,000 Californians in Three Months' Tour—Life Reads Like Romance. TALENT WINS FRIENDS. Strange Sight of Newaboy Standing on Corner Reciting Shakespeare Attracts Attention of Walter C. Lyman, Chicago's Famous Teacher of Elocution—Never Commercialized Art. (By Eloise Bibb Thompson, Contributing Editor.) Los Angeles, Cal., April 16—Head Alexander Dumas, the novel matteo novelist, lived in America in this day he would no doubt have found enough romance in the career of the struggling Afro-American in his upward climb to satisfy his taste, however exacching, for the most thrilling adventure. More like a romance than a reality sees the life of Charles Winter Wood, the colored dramatic artist, who, in company with the Tuskegee Jubilee Singers, has been delighting southern California for the past three months with some of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's character sketches. Thirty-five years ago Charles Winter Wood stood on the streets of Chicago with his wife, but instead of crying his wares he recited lines from Shakespeare caught in the peanut gallery from the great actors in the theaters he loved to visit, So remarkable was the enunciation, the facial expression, the interpretation of those extracts given by this small boy from such plays as the Merchant of Venice, Richard III, Otello, etc., that large crowds of people would stand for some time listening and marveling. It chanced one day that as Charles stood declaiming, surrounded by the usual crowd of amused and admiring listeners, Walter Lyman, Chicago's famous teacher, wrote to the audience of spectators, stopped to ascertain what it all meant. He soon caught the excited words of the boy actor and remained for some little time listening to this extraordinary performance. He was interested at once, secured the name and address of the boy, and became thereafter his staunch friend. Finds Loyal Friends. Mr. Lyman, together with Dr. F. W. Gunsalus and Judge Javis Blume, Chicago's most noted clergyman and lawyer—both, like the former, attracted to the boy because of his remarkable dramatic interpretations—was a graduate of liberal education, making it possible for him to complete the courses in the public and high schools of Chicago and to graduate from Beloit College, Wisconsin. It was most gratifying to Charles bectors to learn that a he was worthy of the interstate prizes given by Beloit College, the Wisconsin state prize and the interstate prize of all western colleges, the latter being awarded at Galesburg, IL., in 1895, William Jennings Bryan, the present secretary of state, being one of the three men who helped Wood a merit mark of 100 per cent. At his various public recitals given in Chicago while a student at Beloit College Mr. Wood interpreted such leading roles as Sophocles, King Oedipus, Shakespeare's Richard III, Macbeth, and Hamlet. His performance of these roles were likened by Sully, the great French tragedian, and also to the genius of Kean and of Edwin Booth. Receives Stage Offers. Mr. Wood received at that time some very flattering offers from theater managers to go on the stage, but instead he matriculated at Columbia University, New York City, receiving after a time a master's degree. His work was published and published later, has been regarded by various teachers of elocution over the country as a very scholarly production. His interpretation of Coleridge Taylor's famous "Wedding Feast" at the time that it was sung by the musical department of Columbia University, gave rise from the New York publications. Although a student and lover of dramatic literature, Mr. Wood has always shrunk from commercializing his art. He chose, rather, after graduating from Columbia University, to pursue a course in the theology, but was persuaded instead of preaching to go to Tuskegee Institute and assist Dr. Booker T. Washington to solve some big problems confronting his people. He was placed at the English department, later made librarian, and for the past two years or more assigned the important duty of adding Dr. Washington in the raising of funds for Tuskegee Institute by serving as a lecturer and director of campaign publicity work. Of his dramatic recitals given each year throughout the southern states in conference with his Tuskegee publicity work, the author declared that "Charles Winter Wood is a dramatic genius"; and the Atlanta Constitution declares that "Mr. Wood stands in the fore rank of great dramatic artists." No less appreciative of Mr. Wood's work have been the dailies of the far East, the New York Evening Telegram, and the New York Times. "Charles Winter Wood in his performance of 'Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hydle thrilled 5,000 people' last night at Grand Central Palace." During Mr. Wood's three months' stay in the city it is estimated that over 200,000 persons were entertained by his readings. Mystic Social Club hereby agrees to a member their sincerity in your great task of helping the needy and hope their contribution will help swell the fund that you have so nobly undertaken first hand.

PHYLLIS WHEATLEY BENEFIT. The ladies of the Phyllis Wheatley Club are to give an apron bazaar at the home on Forest avenue Thursday, April 22. Dinner will be served for those who care to eat. The aprons are made of fine prices, and the money taken in from the sale of aprons will go towards the home. Several things are urgently needed there, and the work needs a little more support than the public is giving it. The home serves as a shelter for many girls who are out of employment. The girls are needed for them in the neighborhood until they can get steady work. A benefit ball game will be played this summer, all proceeds to go to the home. MISSIONARY SOCIETY RENDERS PROGRAM L.

LINCOLN ATHLETIC CLUB DEFEATS EVANSTON Y. Basketball Team Wins from North Side Heavyweights 14 to 12—Lose to Wabash "Y" in First Game of Their Career—Evanston and Wabash Game Not Finished. GAME IS CRITICISED. Tactics of North Side Team Far from Pleasing—Methods Could Be Improved Upon—Track Meet Officials Named. The Lincoln A. C. basketball team, composed of Smith, Gerald Bunn, Langton, Captain "Chuck" Wilson, and McDougal, made its debut at the Wabash Y. M. C. A. Thursday night, April 8, and was beaten by the heavy-team 16 to 15. The game was well played and many exciting plays featured the game. All eyes were centered on the McDougal brothers, who pitched against each other. It was a game where nobody beat the work of Curry, Merchant, Lewis and Lavell of the "Y" team deserve mention, while McDougal played his head off trying to outdo his brother. The following night the Lincoln went to Evanston, and won 14 to 12. This team has been a hard team to beat, owing to some tactics they use; but, however, the Lincoln eased one team. The Evanston team caused much concern in the way they acted at the Wabash "Y" the last time they played there. Game Never Finished They quit one point in the after and the Wabash team had come from behind so strong that, nothing seemed able to stop them. Then trouble started, and the result was that the game was never finished, because the visitors would not agree to anything within reason. M. Hammond used his influence, but to no avail. Bluellt's work as referee was more than sat back and looked like a scapegoat, as though Ervanston would have escaped defeat. If they would cut out some of their rough work it will make the game of basketball as popular here as in New York, where many times a game precedes a dance. Now, when the game is being introduced to our people to get them interested, we are certainly sorry that these little children things have to come up. Those men, when they are, not for young men. Let us hope they do not occur again. Lincoln A. C. Meet. Entry blanks have been printed for the track meet of the Lincoln A. C. May 31 at 11 a. m. Being a holiday, we hope that the people will turn out and lend encouragement. It is to be held at Thirty-third and Wentworth and is free. The following are selected as officials: Starter, Mr. W. H.

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 Musical and Dramatic page, edited by Toney Langston, a recognized authority, has always been a feature. Every actor of the race has been given reviews after reviews and weveren our race assemblies, some space is given to the play, acts or even 'moving pictures'; but on this page is where there can be found all of the big musical events of the season. The book is about Chicago that does not get space and encouragement by the writer of this department. A special writer reviews the bigger concerts in and around Chicago. 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. All artists have had aplendid support and encouragement given them and artists from other cities have likewise had space in these col- Art and Intellect. The latest department added to The Defender is Art and Intellect. It is attracting unusual attention from the fact that it is high-class work and is done by a trained mind. The young man who writes this is a college graduate, a student of sociology, history, science, power and force the reporterial and journalistic tackle the big problems of the race. It does not compromise or cringe but, head erect and free, holly lives up to its name—THE DEFENDER. A. R. SMITH GIVES UP DEFENDER AGENCY.

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.

We have been taking our corn by way of pork and beef.—Maysville (Ky.) Bulletin. THEATRICAL REVIEW. By Tony Langston. The Grand. This is Popularity Week here, and aside from the regulation number, five of the most popular acts are added, and it is upon these that the voting takes place. This number includes the Abyssinia Tito, Andrew Brown, Brown and Pinkley and Montgomery & McClain. The result of the contest will be published in next week's issue. The bill opened with the Tanselfil Sisters, a classy musical act, who did well. They were followed by Frances Dyer, a high-class singer, and Olive Rose was great, and their stage setting was classy. Lloyd & White in, in burlesque work, were fair. The last half last week had the Shattuck Comedy Four. Their quartet work was good, but their comedy was not up to the standard. Glipin & Edwards furnished some real society dances, and were followed by the popular team of Shmms & Thompson, who are old favorites on the Stroll, whose presence on the show insures insurance, the box office, the Rice, Bell & Baldwin gymnasts closed the show and were good. The Old Monogram. The return of this house to vaudeville was ushered in by a record-breaking attendance, and the quality of the bill well merited it. Anna Overton, who is a comedienne of much ability, put her stuff over in approved style. She was followed by Allen & Wiggins, who remain as popular as over. Allen's rendition of "The Blues," on his $1,000 violin, was a hit. Criswell & Bailey were a scream, and had the house in an uproad. Johnny Woods, the popular musician, had every thing, and closed the bill that Kline will have to hustle to equal, though he says he'll do it next week. New Monogram. Emma Frederick, a good vocalist, rendered several popular numbers that were well received, and Goodbar & Lewis, who followed, showed class in abundance. Tyler & Hubbard, whose forte is operatic and high-class vocal selections, were great, and Madam Tyler has apparently the same romantic control which Hubbard accompanied her own single number on the plano and showed marked ability. Braxton & Nugent, who work under cork, sustained their end of a well-balanced bill. The Phoenix. The attendance here during the present week has kept pace with the high quality of the booking. Among the features shown were "The Unmarried Husband," "Love and Love," "Filtratious Lizzie," "The Trap Door," "Saved From a Life of Crime," "The Tragedy of the Hills," "The Girl at Nolans," "In the Shadow of Dedal," "The Gilded Fool," and "The Girl at Point."

Sunday brings "Ilam Clifford in the Lost Ledge," "ne Only Way Out," and "His Captive." The States. Business is always good here. The orchestra in itself is a feature, and the quality of the features booked are a credit to Maurice Salken, who attends to it in person. The patrons of this house can always depend on the highest grade of entertainment. The last episode of '20 Million Dollar Mystery' was shown on Monday, as was "The Forged Testament," "In the switch Tower," and "A One Night Stand."

Mr. Puggsley, well known on the Stroll, left Sunday for Macon, Ga., where he joins the Tolliver Comedy Co., which is touring the South. Carlin Day has just returned from the East. She visited her niece, Mrs. Bundy, for a few days in Baltimore. Miss Day expects to remain in Chicago indefinitely. She just finished nine weeks on the United time and requires a little rest. According to Miss Day the vaudeville situation is bad in the East, owing to the large number of acts that crossed the briny at the outbreak of the European war. Lalu Coates and Her Boys left for Kalamazoo on Wednesday. They are booked solid with the Dancers, stopping with Mrs. Sue Grundy at her home on Wabash avenue. Mrs. Grundy also had Wabash & Gordon, who are working in the loop this week, Mr. and Mrs. Broxton of Broxton & Nugent, and Montgomery & McLain. According to a letter received early in the week, Memphis seems to be one of the live spots on the theatrical map. The Metropolitan Theatre is playing to packed houses, and from this distance it looks as though the audience presented it in a secondhand setting, who includes Cox & Cox, who are a scream, Lottie Grady, who always brings 'om, Alonzo Moore, a one man riot, and Gaut & Perkins, who are popularly known as the "two arguingist women" ever seen on a vaudeville bill. The latter act plays St. Louis week in April, in which they are at the Grand this week, leave for Indianapolis Sunday night, opening on Monday at the Crown Garden. They have contracts covering the entire Consolidated time. The Old Monogram has a handsome appearance on the opening of vaudeville Monday night. Now if only let us have a rest on string beans until fall, we'll all be happy. Tim Owley was in town for a few minutes on Tuesday. He says that the Crown Garden is doing a real business, and he made arrangements to book a few of the best acts working the Consolidated time. Prosperity sticks out all over Tim. But Tim always did look like ready money. He reports that Elwood Knox, managing editor of the FREEDMAN, may have been the guest at Glencore's Park on the 25th.

JANE ADDAMS ON GENUINE ORATORY Noted Chicago Woman Intimates that Race Is Creator of Art, Just the Same as It Is of Music —Ira Aldridge and His Early Triumphs. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Los Angeles, Cal., April 16—There are many thoughtful Americans who believe that the colored people of this country will one day be regarded as the creators of genuine American oratory. The opinion of the noted head of Hull House on the matter is admirably expressed as follows, writes Eloise Bibb Thompson in the Los Angeles Tribune: "As you know, you go in Italy from one little town to another and find little art centers—places where the people in groups are working out a genuine artistic product, because they are artists and their own ambitions and their own affections through that. I believe that something of that sort is going on in various parts of this southern country of ours." After reminding the colored audience to whom she spoke that their fathers and mothers had largely created the only genuine American music Miss Jane Addams continued: "Then I am sure we have discovered another art center right here—the beginning of genuine oratory. Because, after all, what is it that we want the orator to do for us? We want the orator to do several things. First, we want him to express the feelings we cannot very well express for ourselves. Second, we show us where we belong in the arena of life. As you go to italy you come to one town where they make a very wonderful product in plaster and make over again into a very beautiful ornament or something else which warms the heart of the passer-by for evermore; and then you go to another town and find they have used color in a very remarkable way. We have been waiting for that kind of thing in America for a long time, and it seems to me here you are working out a certain quality of life, that you have learned to work in fellowship and that group through which alone art can be produced." Early History of Art. History bears out such faith in the oratorical possibilities of the colored man, for we find him receiving distinction both in this country and in Europe almost a hundred years ago. Ira Aldridge, a colored tragedian born in Maryland about 1810, was, according to the eminent statistician Monroe Work, sent to Schenectady College in 1812, where he studied University, Scotland, where he carried off many prizes, including the medal for composition. His debut as Othello the Moor was made at the Royal Theater in London. His interpretation of this character was regarded as masterful, bringing forth appreciation from such actors as Madame Malibran, the famous singer, who wrote Mr. Aldridge that never in her profession witnessed such an interesting and powerful performance. Lady Beecher, known on the stage as "Miss Niel," also wrote Mr. Aldridge as follows: "During my professional as well as private life I never have seen so correct a portraiture of Othello." Adrige and Kean. Edmun Kearn, the world-famous historian, provided a tutorial for Mr. Aldridge's work by playing lago to Aldridge's Othella. From one end of Europe to the other, playing in most of the principal towns, the characters of Othello and Gambia in the Slave, and appearing in such theaters in London as the Colobur, Saddler's Wells, Olympia and Covent Garden, Mr. Aldridge's reception in every instance was most flattering. The king of Prussia bestowed upon him the Prussian "Gold Medal of the First Class for Art and Science, which had been awarded to Mr. Aldridge by the great philosopher, Tumholt, the composer of Spontini, and the musician, Liszt. The emperor of Austria conferred on him "Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold." The city of Berne gave him a magnificent Maltese cross with medal of merit. He also received the "Royal Saxe-Ernest House Order," which confers a title higher than that of "Sir," so much coveted in England. Aldridge had a reception even more flattering in Russia. He was made a number of the best scholars and scientists in St. Petersburg, and of many other honorable and learned societies. In most cases the membership was conveyed by means of handsome medals, accompanied in many instances by autograph letters. AMATEUR MINSTREL SHOW BIG SUCCESS Society Out in Large Numbers and Takes Part in Dancing Program — Dave Lawrence and "Doc" Smith the Hits of the Evening — Largest Crowd in History — Old Folks Made Happy. The Amateur Minstrel Club gave its annual show and dance Monday night at the Eighth Regiment Armory. This club has long ago established a precedent for having successful affairs and won its way into the hearts of the citizens of this community because the older was fairy. The show was a big success, and the movie and dancers were new, but owing to the poor acoustic arrangements only those sitting near the stage could hear what was said. Dave Lawrence was the big hit of the evening as the end man, and "Doc Smith" filled the bill with his splendid tenor voice. Clarence Mayo was one of the new end men this year. Dave McGowan was at the piano and directed the music, and Mr. Frank P. Waring acted as interlocutor. The Amateur Minstrel Club brings all Chicago together once a year, and its future success is assured so long as the Old Folks' Home or some other worthy place is being built. Society was out in large numbers, and after the show danced until 1:30 a.m. Mr. Charles Washington stated that quite a neat sum was realized for the old folks, and the report will be published in the Defender. PEACE PEACE The Laurell Dancing Academy Returns to Dreamland Hall. The dancing school strife which caused considerable stir a few weeks past has come to a peaceful end.

Mr. Saunders, the April 19. Mr. Johnson having given the nuance that there will be no occasion for any future misunderstandings, Mr Johnson having discontinued active part in dancing schools.

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. Surcly the American Congress is too great too sympathetic, too just to enact. Jeg legislates as the Congress.

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. Tonight a cabaret will be given, at which time Mr. McBride will be welcomed the new members in the club. Dr. S. C. Dickerson has arranged a splendid program for the evening.

WRITES STRONG LETTER New York Evening Post Publishes It In Full—New York Citizens Praise Illinois Officials and Rally to Support of New Military Organization. (Special to The Chicago Defender). 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.

Ellis, formerly Secretary of Legation in Liberia, has made an excellent contribution to Negro history in his intensive monographic study of the Yal people of the West Coast of Africa. His work has been published in American life prove, the high culture and ability of these black people. Both these two histories ought to be in every colored American's library. NEW YORK SUN.—An excellent contribution to folklore and ethnology is George W. Ellis's "Negro Culture in West Africa," the most influential work of the long stay in Liberia. He provided himself with a long history in Liberia and samples of Legation to make a thorough study of the Yal people, who include many important West African tribes. He describes their habits and social conditions, their languages, their culture, their way of living, and examples of proverbs and tales. It is very valuable contribution to the study of native Negro races. BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT.—Not many years ago, when Mr. Ellis was Secretary of the United States Legation at Liberia, Africa, he wrote for the Journal of American Development, a paper giving valuable information on the illness of the Yal people, a remarkable knowledge of the Sudanese Negroes. The establishment of centers of learning among the black race, their development in law history and music, and the sojourn of the Yal people, all of which fall.

For cities at best, were intended to hold But poor little lamps who have strayed from the Fold. MISINTERPRETERS OF THE BIBLE. 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 traveling the right road that brings us to eternal happiness. What a awakening awaits us when we grow old enough to think for lives. A vast majority of the men who wear the garb designated he church, judging not by their speech but by their actions, are unfit to act as leaders, and to follow their example in some means a lowering of gas own standards. The General Board ministerial Relief and Sustenance of the Presbyterian Church members of the Presbytery of Baltimore, Md., a two highly esteemed clergymen of our race were he scheduled hour for the dinner they appeared in the where the banquet was to be held. Just before being however, the Rev. Dr. Robert P. Kerr (white), acting chair- was notified by one of the attaches of the City Club that the colored pastors could not remain. This man of God politely (?) notified the two gentlemen that under the circumstances they could not sit through the dinner. Whereupon they immediately left the table 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 flocks 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 'tie, even though they offered a feeble protest, is unworthy of his line and is nothing more or less than a wolf in sheep's clothing. MAKING MEN OUT OF BOYS. ING TO A RECENT REPORT of the mass, OUR boys have been guilty of few years than the boys of any other race, is due in a great measure to the system of offences, through the Boy Cadets. The Boy Cadet movement is being felt a agency is doing as much to lessen crime as any places will prove. The officials of land that the mother or guardian of each week that the boy has been kept from CCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT of the chief of police, Texas, OUR boys have been guilty of fewer crimes during ree years than the boys of any other race, and this flatter is due in a great measure to the system of paroling boys' offences, through the Boy Cadets. The restraining the Boy Cadet movement is being felt all over America agency is doing as much to lessen crime as statistics gathany places will prove. The officials of the Boy Cadet emand that the mother or guardian of every boy paroled a cash week that the boy has been lost from leafy on the in care after the boy has made a misssep. If an office of pre-ention 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 mothers 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 their 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 is the home. Our Chicago streets are filled with men between the ages of fourteen and twenty, who seem to o ambition to obtain in life. Poolrooms, clubs and saloons look and they are soon lost in the downward whirl, and all because they have not had proper home training, clean attractions have not been offered them. Their whereabouts the previous night not questioned; 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 men 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 behooves you to stand in with him. To make up for it, however, you can with compunction get a little rough with the janitor, his services will not be needed badly for a few months. WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON made few, if any, pre-election misises, so he has no strings to his kite and we are going to expect to be above the ground all the time. We don't mean by that we expect him to be up in the air on important subjects, but we do expect him to keep his administration out of the mire. THE MAN OF THE RACE who would stand up and try to protect his home from the man who has made wretches of our women, he has enacted laws of segregation against him, will not be per-er HEAVEN. CHICAGO DEFENDER ADVANCE OF PROHIBITION. OBIITION WAVE is sweeping over the state, already nineteen states, nearly one-half of commonwealths of the republic, are waving present indications before many of the number will be in the line. In the prohibition column the states are Oklahoma, Georgia, Mississippi, North Virginia, Virginia, Arizona, Colorado, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa and Utah. Matt and in consequence had to bear the bleak unpleasant things were hurled at them. Interestless things would go to the wall, parlor of unjust and untrue things were set aside. Despite all this there was no need as it did before the liquor traffic was not so difficult to convince a state or a distance and moral cleanliness pays. Preference that the traffic in liquor brings in citizenship and those who have had experience states will tolerate no more of the effective measures could be put into exigencies could be regulated in a manner slave of reform would not have had a government took under its control the disturbed to the human race, drugs that harm hands. The result will be a stronger, heavier liquor traffic while regulated to a certain mark and as there is no happy medium end. THE PROHIBITION WAVE is sweeping over the country at an alarming rate, already nineteen states, nearly one-half of the forty-eight sovereign commonwealths of the republic, are wearing blue ribbons, 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, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, 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 prophesied 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 and bad citizenship and those who have had the experience of living in temperance states will tolerate no more of it on any terms. Perhaps if some effective measures 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 certain drugs injurious to the human race, drugs that have made of men and women feuds. 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. RESTITION OF LOYALTY TO THE FEDERAL FORTH a heated argument and many reports of this government by members out. One writer in the St. Paul Pillar certainly, the Negro beyond a doubt ought to have him to be maimed, lynched and burdens of guilt. Certainly, he ought to have protection of life or property. Cedar flag which in time of peace practices on it can upon him, a country which, so that you are not wanted by this government does not desire your services except a these incivilities and reproaches ought to their proof lacking to encourage loyalty we are uneducated, but the minute we door of hope in our face. Again he cedar holders, but the minute we begin to negation ordinances, stones us out of our wise obstructs or intimidates us. The South, only it is not so frank and opery effort the Negro makes along home in despair he falls from grace, theinally inclined. There is more than either says and yet there are many reason for the stars and stripes, for what we have should be thankful. It was an all from a land of darkness to one of souls the densest ignorance prevailed, to world has ever known. Every race has a test of their worth. We should do to the rule. To be satisfied means that it necessary to berate the entire white with our lot? 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 our 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 suspicions 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 flag which in time of peace practices every degradation 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 attendant. Surely these incivilities and reproaches ought to encourage loyalty. Nor is other proof lacking to encourage loyalty. The Caucasian complaints that we are undeducated, 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 vituperations. Every effort the Negro makes along honest lines is checkmated and when in despair he falls from grace, 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 for what we are today we should be thankful. It was an all wise Providence that brought us from a land of darkness to one of sunshine, from surroundings 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 progressing, but is 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 satisfaction 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 demand that such spectacles be outlawed in future and that all the authority and powers of governments constituted for the protection of society should be exercised and strained to the utmost limit, if necessary, to prohibit and prevent the further repetition of them. Surely there are enough unavoidable causes for friction 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 man 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 type and all the influence of the responsible elements of both 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 foreign nations. STICKING TO THE PARTY. VICTOR BELONGS THE SPOILS.

Few people say, " It is too patent, too absurd. What sales into insignificance compared to w/government. Here millions have been 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 support 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 civic 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 separate 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 compared 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 got 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 seems a job, tries the "loyal supporter" rush act, thinking his floppings have not been noticed by theowers that be. To such men a deaf ear should be turned; they are ought but political tricksters, having their weather vane out to catch the wind whichever way it blows. They are fooling no one but themselves and will have to seek some other means of livelihood. No longer can they feed at the public crib. NOW THAT THE BASE BALL SEASON IS OPEN the newspapers will be so full of the diamond dope, war news from across the pond will have to be unusually startling to get a front page story. THE BLACK RACE is no more responsible for its degenerates than is the white race, and it is the clear duty of all lovers of law and order to co-operate with the peace authorities. THE AMATEUR MINSTREL BOYS, if they wanted to be right up to the minute, should have sung "Sister Susie's Sewing Shirts for Soldiers" and for an encore they might have put over "Nettie's Knitting Nighties for the Navy." SOMETHING OUGHT TO BE DONE about settling this Mexican squabble. Wonder if the government has forgotten that it has an Eighth Regiment? WHAT'S THE MATTER with having some of the Ninth Cavalry boys in our mounted police brigade, also a few of the Eighth in the drill squad? RUMOR HAS IT that there is a slight tinge of African blood in Jess Willard. It's hard to tell now-a-days who is and who isn't. Maybe he is. IF MANY PEOPLE WERE judged by their names as well as by their acts, we could well spell their names "cur" instead of the way they spell it. THAT ANXIOUS, WORRIED LOOK that has come over the face of the man of the house is due to the near approach of moving time. WE ARE STILL ASKING for the police women. We trust Mr. Thompson will not overlook our women who fought for him in the trenches. MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS is a pastime that brings both happiness and cheerfulness. Try it. COMPENSATION By Z. WITHERS Oh! This wonderful law has transcended to us from forgotten ages of the past. It is nevertheless a substantial law and a part of every effort of society. King Solomon measured the breadth of its wonderful power when he uttered, "All waters of the river run back into the sea, then into the rising from a theory of rain or vapor carried by the winds to moisture and again as rain, and again it goes back to sea. Ever since the beginning of organized government there has been a law of taxation based upon the theory of compensation. The individual pays into a common fund or treasure for maintenance of protection, comfort and happiness, which is organized by organization or body group—society. The law of compensation is a common fact and has a direct bearing upon every effort of society, social, industrial and economic. Every benefit we receive from the efforts of society through its organization we compensate or pay. Now, it is hard to change the old for now. If our customers are based upon the old. And it's harder to change the new for old. Compensation, is the old and the new. Progress of society is dependent the AUTHORS AND BOOKS Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. By D. W. Johnson. "The Facts of Reconstruction," by Major John R. Linch, formerly a member of Congress from Mississippi, temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention of 1854 and Auditor of the United States Treasury, is a book full of interest and facts, written with extraordinary force and unusual clarity.

PROCTOR principle of service, that which we give in our efforts for its promotion and comfort of others. The word service seems distasteful to not a few people. But upon that word your purpose and success and mine primary purpose. The service which we render others is your value—and nothing else. Much is being said about the Pullman porter and his wages. Let us assume that his duties are trying and tedious, so much so is his glory. All the development of the world has been accomplished through men who were willing to work hard and capable of sacrifice. Strong men are they who have sacrificed. Remembering the law of compensation is it not right that the Pullman porter must in return give in order to receive? Service to others requires the fullest of our powers in development. And as their development becomes a fact our values are increased. Increased wages are a natural result of the law of compensation and not the acts of the Legislature. The Legislature cannot fix a price for the product of the farm and properly not that it is produced otherwise because that is not the providence of the Law. The higher law, that of compensation the gift of a great and righteous God. line sex is mother as great and nor as universal as many suppose. Women are the most excruciating pain, the most frightening and can bear with patience the most excruciating pain. In many of the most prominent countries, women work side by side as husbands in the fields. In Germany they are most cleanliness and among the American women most work except hunting and fishing. Women are taught on the field of battle in the past and women fighting under European colors today. As a proof that masculinity is not a matter of physical strength, women will study the works of matrials will find several instances in the insect feminine superiority this is true of seventeen When one comes to consider intellectual and that is a matter of individual and that is a matter of classes. There is no such thing as masculine or feminine superiority intellectual except in individual cases. The women and the men in the right for rights—which men have themselves striven for since the beginning of time—have been the most important of Miss Jane Adams and our own Mrs.艾德 Wells Barnett. Such women have benefited the world by their work throughout the century. The women produced many women who have brought race. It would be well for all of us to go into the past and study the careers of these women. There are but few among us who know of Emmaula Lewis, the sculpturist who created her Jemison and other famous men. Her mother, Jemison, and other noted persons, Hiahvatha Wooling, Forever Free, Hagar in the church of the armed Mammas, More, an other familiar with the career of Madame Selkra, a once famous vocalist, who was known as the black Jenny Lind, and who was the most famous superior to the noted white Jenny Lind.

LET YOUR RENT MONEY PAY 1 How to Escape Tuberculosis. Dr. Edward Ots of Boston, writing in the April number of the Journal of Outdoor Life on "How to Escape Tuberculosis," lays great stress on what he calls the four great essentials. As we took up the first great essential—fresh air—in our article last week, we wish to call your attention to the second great essential in the series—namely, food. This says that good and nourishing food need not mean expensive food, but the need good food it requires some knowledge of food values, and it is well worth it to make some study of the subject. These who are interested might write to the Agricultural Department at Washington D. C., and on request this department will send interesting graphic charts indicating the nutritive values of the various articles of food. A tuberculous person needs many calories of food units a day, divided into protels, chiefly contained in lean meats, peas, beans and also a considerable part of cereals; eggs also are rich in protels; carbohydrates, meats, cherries, sugars, potatoes, cereals, and animal in many vegetables; fats, in fat meals, milk, butter, oil, cheese, and to a greater or less extent in nuts, some cereals, as oatmeal, and in some fish, as mackerel and salmon. The Agricultural Department will also furnish tables giving the average composition of common American food products, from which the food value or a day's ration can be estimated. Dr. Olss furnishes the fact that, in general, we need a mixed diet containing a proper proportion of the three essentials: viz., proteins, fats and carbohydrates. So many people are in the habit of making a whole meal off of meat, and maybe a little bread, and others enjoy an entirely vegetable or non-meat diet. A good meal should consist of some bread, some breaded vegetables, bread and butter, some fruit, cooked or raw; milk may also be added, too, for those who like it. The person who understands food values and is really a domestic scientist understands how many combinations may be made, and how the proper amount of the three constituent ingredients of a dish will work. With a knowledge of food constituents one can arrange a proper and nourishing diet and yet have it an inexpensive one. Dr. Otis makes the observation that smoked herring is cheaper and contains more protels than a piece of beefsteak of the same weight, but only about two-thirds as many calories. Rules. The following rules are taken from the Virginia Health Bulletin: Where the diet consists largely of fat meat and bread, add vegetables, fresh or dried. Where the diet consists largely of lean meat, eat abundant bread with it. If a breakfast is lacking proteins, add oatmeal to it. Never attempt to live on a diet of any one class of foods exclusively. Supplement them by those foods which contain a large proportion of the other necessary food products. It is obvious also that the food should be properly cooked and made appetizing. To have good food well cooked requires neither a great outlay of time nor money, but one must know how. Rest. The third essential in the series is rest. Rest is a very important factor in recovering from any organic or functional disease. So many people have the erroneous, foggy, ignorant, before-Noah's time idea that rest in bed or rest at all in a time of sickness, upon the advice of a physician, is nonessential, and, in fact, is very injurious. Many foolish and ignorant people rest in bed with organic heart disease, consuming the lungs, Bright's disease, impoverished condition of the blood, that "it is bad to follow the doctor's advice—to rest in bed," for fear of "losing their strength." Many a poor fellow is dead and gone beyond the divide because he had fears of resting quietly in bed, upon the advice of his physician, that he would grow weaker and lose his strength. Nothing is more than rest of mind and rest of body, says Dr. Ols. Nature requires regular periods of rest for the renewal of nerve and NO GASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESERVES GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES s. writing journal escape on the lesson-great last mention in the nourisative it resumes, make who he ingleton, mentions charts of the many divided tissue cells, and the maintenance of one's normal resisting power. At the present day rest is more frequently disregarded than either of the other great essentials of wholesome living. For a person of rest and sleep for a length of time, and he falls a prey to any infection that comes his way. When one is mentally and nervously exhausted he may think that he can overcome this weariness by taking physical exercise. By so doing, however, he still further lowers his resistance and grows more weary. What he should do is to rest—lie down half an hour and sleep a little if he can, and then, when he has recovered his nervous integrity, he can with refreshment take some simple exercise, which makes no great demand upon his weak system. Dr. Otsis says a person who attains at any time take 20-minute winks of sleep has a very valuable safeguard. There is nothing like complete rest that sleep usually brings to mind force. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Insurance Policies April 12.—I have an insurance policy in which I am beneficiary in the sum of $500 in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, with a branch office at 47th street and Wahashave avenue, Chicago, on account of the death of an Agent of the company that taken the insurance money for the company, but some time later cleared and I have not been paid nor have I seen the agent since. Kindly give me advice as what best to do? Answer. You should have consulted an attorney before you turned your policy over to the agent with the expectation of payment on the same. You should secure an attorney at once if you have a policy without payment or money without delay. The public is advised generally against turning their policies over to petty insurance agents without first securing legal advice. Often these insurance companies take the policies and receipt books and neglect to pay until forced to do so, and the person who surrenders their policies have disarmed themselves in a manner for taking legal action in the courts. The insurance companies, knowing they have received all evidence of their indebtedness to you take advantage of this situation to delay payment in the hope that in some way it may be delayed or something you can enable them not to pay the claim at all. You should not of our readers is called to the discontinuous treatment and injustice imposed upon persons who by reason of their policies are called upon to do business at the 47th branch of the Metropolitan Insurance Company in that the policy holders are compelled to walk several flights of stairs to pay to them each month, and when they are called upon they do on policies they are compelled to surround and await the pleasure of the persons in charge, and if they are not present at roll call, which is about 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., like a school child, then they are compelled to wait until the next day before receiving money due them. A letter to the main office, office boulevard, New York, N.Y., from you could be sent here in Chicago would better condition the said bank office, and we advise each of our readers to write such a letter at once. About Peddlers April 17—I buy my vegetables from a peddler who comes to my house each morning. I have never seen him have any measure but a bucket. I understand that the city ordinance requires that all such commodities be sold by weights and measure. Is there such measure? Answer. There is such city ordinance and a penalty is attached for each violation. You should report the matter to the Inspector of Weights and Measures, City Hall, Chicago. CLUB EDITORS Kindly send to the Chicago fender the names and addressed to the president and secretary of your club with your next report.
