TO HAVE WOMAN WAITERS White Women to Supplant Men on Line Between Cleveland and Wheeling, Ohio, After May 2—Chicago Railroad Men Discuss Question Following Announcement. OPINIONS ARE VARIED. Majority Oppose Plan—H. S. Stevens of C., B. & Q., W. C. Francis of the I. C., and Others Do Not Consider Idea Practical One—Plan Not New. Girls as waitresses in railway dining cars are being considered by Chicago railroad men following the announcement that on the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad, whistles between Cleveland and Wheeling in Ohio, white girls will supplant the men waiters after May 2. Opinions were varied to the point that the plan is a good one, but it was the belief that such a system might well succeed for short runs. Whether women could stand long runs was doubtful, in the opinion of most of the railway men. Some of them expressed themselves as follows: Not Practical, Says Mr. Stevens. H. S. Stevens, assistant superintendent of commissary, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad: "I think it inadvisable to have girls wait on table in railway dining. The situation there is not a restaurant. The girls would probably have to wear trousers when the dinner is crowded to capacity, for their skirts would take up too much room." A. M. Schoyer, resident vice president of the Pennsylvania Lines. "The experiment is not a new one. It has been tried out with some success on the Toleto & Ohio Central Railroad, and I see no reason why it should not be a success on the Lake Erie & Wheeling. We have never made such an experiment, and I don't see why we should." Colored Walters Satisfactory. W. C. Francks, superintendent of dining service, Illinois Central: "I would not favor the plan for our road. The work of the colored waiters is satisfactory and I see no reason for a change." C. H. Shircliffe, superintendent of dining service, Chicago & Northwestern: "This line now has a woman waitress on a diner running between Sloux Court and Carroll, Iowa, and she is excellent service. I believe that on short runs—say from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.—would make excellent waitresses. My brother, Arnold, who is the head of this service for the Mohon road, favors women waitresses on short runs. He told me awhile ago that he feared he would lose the one waitress in his service by way of the marriage route." NEW COMPANY FOR 8TH MUSTERED IN WEDNESDY Benote Rose Made First Sergeant—Col. F. A.

Church in General Collapse—Physicians Spend Early Part of Week in Efforts to Strengthen Patient in Order to Stand Trip East. Rev. Theobold A. Smythe, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, suffered a general collapse Wednesday night of last week, and for several days a temperature running as high as 104 gave his physicians considerable concern. The physicians ascribe this general down to overwork and only pronounce that complete reservation to health through more doses of alte rest. During the past winter Rev. Smythe underwent an operation and his friends claim that he has never fully recovered his strength. He continued to pastor his large congregation, and the report of his illness came as a surprise. Announcement of his serious condition was made at the morning service Sunday. Mr. R. E. Moore conveyed the sad tidings to the large congregation that entirely filled the main auditorium and resulted in an overflow service in the lecture room. Dr. Bousfield, one of the attending physicians, made a statement of his condition. The cold of Rev. Smythe's unselfish and strict nature for the church asked the congregation aid him to take the rest. his physicians persisted, and the congregation responded by contributing $57,777. It was planned to take Rev. Smythe to Atlantic City to recuperate, but as we go to press his physicians report that he is too weak to make the trip. U. OF C.

(Special to the Chicago Defender.) Douglas, Ariz., April 30—Last week Colonel John F. Gilloyle, commanding the Ninth Cavalry, received the following letter: WAR DEPARTMENT. Washington, D. C., April 7, 1915. The Commanding Officer, Ninth Cavalry, Douglas, Ariz. Dear Sir—By the direction of the President, I am pleased to express to the officers of the Ninth Cavalry, his appreciation of their splendid conduct and efficient service in the enactment of the United States' neutrality in the War, during November, December and January. Very respectfully. LINDLY M. GARRISON. It is seldom that a regiment in the United States' army trooped gold soldier to the commendation direct from the secretary of war. The officers and men feel proud of the recognition given them. The letter was read by the colonel during the ceremony of presentation of their standards, which was held on the drill ground at Sunny Side. After the regiment had presented sabers to the standards Colonel Guilfoyle addressed the men, making a command and impressive speech. He mentioned the fact that by next September it will be three years that the Ninth Cavalry has been stationed in Douglas. **Change in Attitude.** "When the regiment came here," explained the colonel, "it was not wanted. The people of Douglas were afraid that it would be a source of trouble. Your conduct has been such that settlement in the city has undergone a complete change, and citizens are now asking the war department to keep the regiment here permanently. I am pleased with the record you have made." Colonel Guilfoyle also complimented the men on what they had done at Naco. The Ninth bore the full brunt of trouble that the troopers patiently patrolled the life of their lives while stray bullets—that instances seemed to be deliberately fired instead of stray—zipped past (Continued on page 2.1) Rev.

BURROUGHS Noted Speaker Tells New Yorkers That Race Must Have Physical, Moral and Intellectual Fitness. By Cleveland G. Allen. New York City, April 30.—Miss Nannie Burroughs, president of the National Training School at Washington, and one of the few women of the race who have been honored and honor, spoke in this city last Sunday afternoon at St. Mark's Lyceum. A large audience was present, who applauded her thrilling address throughout. Miss Burroughs spoke on "The Challenge of the Hour," and the burden of her address was an admonition to the race to prepare itself for the battles that still await it. She said that the only thing that would help us to win would be physical, moral and intellectual fitness. In the course of her address she said, there are a great number of people attached with their position and station in life, and with the old ways and methods of doing things. The time has come when we must do away with the old ways and adopt new methods. Our churches must keep pace with this progress also, and not be contented with having the "tall-time religion." I believe in having the old-time religion hitched up to new conditions. Miss Burroughs urged her hearers to accept this challenge which America is presenting to the race, and closed her address Near the end of the day, shouted to an Afro-American jockey on the race track: "Don't let 'em left out!" Miss Burroughs is a remarkably woman. Five years ago she established a training school for girls in Washington. The work was practically unknown, but today the institution is valued at $60,000, and has students from twenty-six states and five foreign countries. To her request to your correspondent said she was en route to Albany, the guest of white women's organizations.

If there were any doubts in the mind of anyone about the coming of this welcome visitor those doubts were dampened when 300,000 of Chicago's citizens parade inaugurating Mayor Sons' entrance into the office of mayor of Chicago on Monday of this week.

Greatest Event in History. Never before in the history of Chicago has such a man been witnessed. Never before in the history of city such a multitude gathered to do homage to any one man. It can be truthfully said that Mayor Thompson stands in a class by himself as having enthused and stimulated, under the inspiration of his powerful personality, more individuals in a single day and on a single occasion than any man has ever done in the history of this our common country.

POSSIBLE TO BE TOO GOOD Writer in Woman's Magazine Glives Some Wise Advice to Others of Her Sex. Women mourn and rail at man's unfaithfulness, but it is only fair to remember, when such shortcomings are brought up against man as set over against woman, that Lilith was just a woman. That was Eve in our accusations and remembrance, often forget that man's faithfulness to a good woman is usually encouraged by the wiles of a bad one, and that more often than not a woman stands at each end of the path that stretches from heaven to hell. Forget too, by what dear and lovable women may be held to the fair and honest ways of life. An eager comradeship with him in the things for which he cares, good humor in sunshine as well as in storm, an easy-going conscience as to the smaller duties of life, and an abiding love for frills and faces, these are the virtues that will serve to keep sweet and joyful the greatest masculine heart. Good women have a world of sin and sorrow for which to answer, and a recent chance remark of a famous writer has more truth in it than we always care to believe.

We have seen men absorbed fishing for wealth, and we imagine that when they fall to get it they are defeated and disappointed. Neither one. The only one who are defeated in fishing is the man who hauled up great bags of gold on their hooks. They are very soon burdened with the catch, and unable to march comfortably farther along the road. The only disappointed ones are the man who has no real purpose in life, and who pose that fishing is an end in life. I had a great-uncle once who died quite happy and bankrupt. Throughout his life he was joblessly full of schemes for making a fortune. But it was not until he was forced to be ceeded, or his method for tanning leather had brought him wealth, so that he had been obliged to have two houses and 20 servants and several clothes of clothes and bills and accounts of money. But he sure he would have died瑟瑟。 Unfitting and misunderstanding persons an online forever playing the old mads, and especially those who seem to be so much more intelligent such behavior seems to me quite intelligent and quite pardonable—especially if they never catch anything. Having begin this game in early life, I have always found it on instants even deeper than that, they would be silly now needb it up good so a sport just because they have found other, objects in life—Sburban Life. Holidays in America. The question of whether or not there are no few distinctly American holdes may be debatable, but there is a distinctly American holiday, and February Washington's birthday—and the year. Moreover it is only a few weeks distant from the universal holidays of Christmas and New Year's, while Christmas is separated by bare months from Thanksgiving. No holiday is more important to Lincoln; his Lincoln was born on the 12th of February, a month pre-empted for the father of his country, so far as holiday are concerned. Lincoln a through American, and no holiday the proposition of a second holiday in February had been put before him or consideration he would have released it without hesitation, on the purely practical ground that one holiday is February is enough.—Exchange Safe From Theft.

MOONLIGHT SCHOOL CLOSES IN OLD KY Fifty-eight Men and Women Were Enrolled, and Teachers Gave Their Services Free—Professor G. W. Saffell, Principal. By Mrs. Mayne Stone Roman. Shellyville, Ky.

DEFENDER AGENT New Orleans, April 30—Mr. Amos Pierce, the Defender's agent, has been unable to carry on all the business of the Defender, so it was necessary for him to employ an assistant. The Defender, a student of Strait University, student of Straight University high school, Gilbert V. J. Colly, and has entered the co-operation with great zeal. Two prominent educational men, Dr. Douglas and Dr. Bard, made an address to the student body of the school, April 27th. "Little Men and Big Men," the Messenger of God, overpowering the Perplexities of Life," were the respective subjects. The Forest Dancing Club met with great success.

Boston is still fighting Tom Dixon's ohioxious photo play, "The Birth of New York was compelled to rotten eggs and had trouble with it, but Chicago enjoys the hope of not being bothered with the trouble-breeding film. The mother of this hope is Mayor Thompson himself." What the Mayor Said. Sunday night Mayor Thompson addressed a meeting at the Institution at Church. Toward the close of his address, he said, "Two or three days ago two representatives of a motion picture concern came to me informally and said, 'The Birth of a Nation' is to be shown at the theater at $2 prices, beginning May 3.' "Now, I am going to see that picture as soon as possible. If I find in anything objectionable to my friend, I cannot see how the film can be shown in Chicago." Passed by rMs. Harrison. The much discussed film was O. K'd a month ago by executive order that it had been viewed privately by Mrs. Carrie McCormick, former Democratic Mayor, and Chas. C. Fitzmorris, the Mayor's secretary. BOOKER WASHINGTON TOURS LOUISIANA By Horace D. Slatter Shreveport, La. Ari. 30—Before a crowd of more than 8,000 people, both white and black, Dr. Booker T. Washington, expounding his gospel of industrial efficiency and good will between the races and pleading for the race, made the closing education of a remarkable tour through Louisiana which with a party of more than a score of prominent individuals he has been making during the past week. The Shreveport affair was notable in the history of the city, and greeted by a larger single crowd than at any other place, save perhaps the crowd of 9,000 school children before whom he spoke Tuesday afternoon at Burns Arena, New Orleans. Here Dr. Handler, president of the Chicago school address on health conditions, and here the welcome address by the superintendent of the parish schools and the introductory address by former Governor N. C. Blanchard were notices and the strong tributes to Mr. Washington personally which they contained. GUESS WHO DEPARTMENT The doll is who just won't behave. L. C. is she.

ONE CLEAN-UP DAY DOES NOT MAKE A NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN The Difference Between the Clean-up Habit and Clean-up Day—Swat the Fly' but Don't Forget That He is Some Swat Himself. (Press Service, Department of Health). Oh, yes; what about those fly screens? Are they all in good shape and ready to be put in? If not, better look them over now. The clean-up day does not make a neighborhood a more than one swallow makes a summer. In other words, it is the clean-up habit more than the clean-up day that counts for permanent cleanliness. Lots of people overheat, but very few overbreathe. In other words, we often get too good and that is good for us, but it would be better any of us to get too much good air. Time now to begin thinking about the lawn and garden. A very small patch of ground properly cultivated will produce an amazing quantity of the smaller table vegetables. Then, too, the outdoor exercise one gets in tending even a little yard garden is as good for your health as the vegetables you get are good for your table. Time is now here when the up-to-date dealer in foodstuffs will see to it that his wares are protected from both flies and dirt of over time. How that his supply of entails are displayed so that intending purchasers may see, yet they cannot handle, pinch or "paw over" the goods. The point is that very few human hands are clean enough to handle goods that others may have to eat. Speaking of swatting the fly, it should not be forgotten that the fly is some swatter himself. So if you don't swat him first, he may swat you or some member of your family. But if you want to go into the swatting business in a wholesale way get after the manure piles in your vienna. It does not matter how much manure to breed a million flies. This is why in getting rid of stable manure you are also getting rid of flies on a very large scale. Where there is more than one house on the lot the alley is the street of many of the people. Garbage on the ground or in boxes, bad or overfull, lowers the value of property, breeds flies, makes sickness, and is uncomfortable. A badly kept house or yard or fence decreases the price of neighboring property, makes neighbors lose interest in their neighborhood, and lowers the general standard. A church raises the standards of all the property, and all the people round about it. It is often overpopulated in bad spots and overfull, breed flies, spread sickness and do harm generally. There is a basic principle of law that no man shall so use his property as to harm his fellow man. If all garbage pails and receptacles were kept carefully covered and all manure boxes were carefully screened so that the flies could not get at them they would soon disappear. In other words, if we destroy all breeding places there will be no flies. And yet there is a way in which the fly readers us a service. It is this: The presence of flies in a community means that there is nearly manure—most generally stable manure—that should be removed. So take warning from the fly and go hunting for his breeding place. Destroy and remove these and the flies will disappear. 1 OES ON JOHNSON; RECOUPS ON LOTTERY Mrs. Henrietta Saparo, $12 East Fortry-first street, who has been spending the winter in Florida, is expected home this week.

French and Messrs. W. R. Schmidt died JH at Enjoyable Afternoon. CJH at Enjoyable Afternoon. The Half Century Club on last Thursday evening revived an oddtime custom in the nature of a Hard Time Dancing party, which was the last affair of their 1914 season which surpassed all expectations of what the members had anticlapted, as it furnished an amusing feature as well as an evening of enjoyment that can only be expressed by saying it was one of the most enjoyable affairs ever given in Chicago. There was a spirit of congeniality that are infrequent as such gatherings. The affair was held at the Dreamland Hall, and had usual, it was in the very best of condition for dancing. There was many hardtime looking individuals present, but the persons who deserve special mention were Mrs. D. P. French, Mrs. Will Eaves, and Miss Helen Ricks. Among the gentlemen were Messrs. R. S. Robers, J. B. Crum, Wm. Eaves, David Burris and Geo. Thompson. Mr. Burris prizes awarded Mrs. French would have been so honored without a contest was perfect. Messrs. Sobers and Crum were close competitors for the honors among the gentlemen, but the general opinion favored W. R. Sobers. Hard times was featured by the Executive Committee in every department, even to the extent of doing away with the services of the maid and check room man, thereby making both ladies and gentlemen serve themselves. Another feature of the hard times, though it proved very attractive, was a half barrel of elder with a regular faucet an abundance of ginger snaps, and William Browner himself, Prof. William Browner's pieces furnished the music, and while the last strains of "Home Sweet Home" was being played, there was a general sigh of regret. The visitors present were: Miss L. Hancock of Clinton, Iowa; Miss Bertha Lowrey, of Benton Harbor, Mich.; Miss Helen Ricks of Iowa City, Iowa, and Miss North of New York City.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Mrs. Lulu Adams, Artist, Who Has Achieved Renown s Artist at Her COURTESY LOS ANGE CROWD MARVELS AT SPUNK OF YOUNG WOMAN IN ACCIDENT The Disrespect of Officers of Color to Women of the Race is Incredible. Tuesday about 10:45 p. m., a popular young woman whose name is withheld, had the misfortune to fall from a State street car, being assisted to a near-by drug store for medical aid, after which a particular officer very abruptly demanded her name and address. It is no doubt necessary to secure name and address of person or persons in such accidents, but the officer in question would not have suffered any inconvenience had he been more gracious. The young woman somewhat embarrassed at the previous happenings and surveying the immense crowd which usually gathers at such accidents, deemed it necessary to conceal her identity for the time being. By so doing she was very roughly informed that she had been arrested for contempt. Whereupon she not easily frightened, very discreetly bid the officer do as he thought best. He evidently thought best not to carry out his threat and no arrest was made, but made the public accusation that she had been drinking or such would not have occurred. The accused, being of high morals and in excellent social standing, became indignant and promptly secured the officer's name and number, which intended reporting to his superiors. The disrespect of the Causesian man to the racial woman is a universal topic. What more is to be expected when so-called men of the race are constantly demonstrating that which is detrimental to the race. A suit of blue ornamented with brass buttons would be more becoming to Officer 4 -- 4 if he would study the art of common courtesy to women of his race as well as patrolling his beat.

LESLIE POLLARD FAMOUS ATHLETE ASPHYXIATED Former Chicago Boy Noted as the Best All-Around Athlete of His Day Dies in Brooklyn from Carbonmonoxide Gas Poisoning. Chicago friends of Mrs. Amanda Pollard of Rogers Park are mourning with her over the accidental death of her son, Leslie L. Pollard, the famous athlete in Brooklyn, N. Y., Thursday, April 22. Reports from Brooklyn show that young Pollard's death was due to asphyxiation from carbon monoxide. A videotape of F. A. Judson, Mrs. Pollard, and her son Luther returned from New York with the remains Sunday and interment was at Rosehill cemetery Monday, April 26. Noted Athlete. Pollard was one of a family of athletes and was born and raised in Chicago. He showed an early inclination to follow the football field and as soon as he entered the North Division high school he went out for the football team which he easily made. He was their ministry for three years and as his team went on to win the national championship of attraction. Everybody looked for Pollard. He was a marked man and through many battles he was the hero, always escaping injury. Walter Steens and Leo DeTray were two of his teammates. Both later captained the University of Chicago eleven. Star at Dartmouth. Pollard, however, cast his chances in the east, going to Dartmouth where he made a record for himself. He was one of the big green team's star half backs in 1909 playing a stellar game against Harvard. So well was his work done that the Boston papers spoke of him and some claimed that it was only his weight that kept him chosen all American half that year. Pollard left school and came back to Chicago where he still kept up his interest in athletics. He played with a champion white football team known as the West Ends that were in the heavy weight division of the Chicago football league. The team through Pollard's effort won the championship that year. On Thanksgiving day he played at the American Giants' park that year with the colored all stars from the northern colleges against the Southern colleges were heaten 44 to 0. Pollard with his brother starred. He was then engaged to coach Lincoln college in Pennsylvania. Last fall he worked them to where they defeated Howard the first time in years. Many mourn his loss as he was well known in Chicago, probably known better among both races than any other athlete that ever wore a gridiron uniform on the fields of Chicago representing a high school. His name will long live for his deeds were many. It is only pitiful that the end should come as it did.

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. BASEBALL HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES; RECEIVE DIPLOMAS GOV.

Calls It Unconstitutional harmonious. "I can not escape the conviction that the bill, in the broad sense, must be given to it to render it effect at all, radically interferes with the liberty of our people as regards otherwise innocent conduct. Applied to conditions in this state and within the bill, radically interferes with the bill any advantage to the real welfare adequate to fairly justify such restraint. The conclusion is, I think, inevitable that the enforcement of the measure, it practical at all, outcompensal of expense without compensating the public good. I am, in addition, advised by legal counsel that the bill is unconstitutional. In the presence of these considerations I deem it my duty to return it without my approval. This is Gov. Phillips' first veto of the session. Captain D. H. Edwards of the 49th Immunes, Co.

SWEET MUSIC THRILLS AT BETHEL CHURCH Dr. Midian Housefield Reads an Investment Interest Pleasance Sunday, Friday, Sunday at 11:00 a.m. Last Saturday afternoon music lovers heard another fine program at Bethel church. Dr. Smythe was unable to be present and was very much missed. Dr. Bonsfeld acted as master of ceremonies. Dr. Bonsfeld acted as master of ceremonies. Dr. Pinsley read a paper upon "Some Phases of Modern Singing," which was thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Greenlaw and Mr. Bonsfeld, pianist, Calleaux, pianist, and Miss Pauline Lee, organ solist, were able to elicit hearty applause from the audience. Prof. W. L. Jackson rendered a violin solo which was highly enjoyable. Mrs. Annis Hackley, who has a splendidly trained voice, thrilled the audience with a fine rendition. Prof. I. T. Jackson, basso, aroused the audience to a fervor of spontaneous enthusiasm by his really great singing. Mrs. Fannie Hall Clint gave a splendidly performed Sleigh dance. The choir under the direction of Mr. James A. Mundy sang sweetly. The fifth Sunday in May will witness our sixth monthly event. A very big crowd was present. LAST FREE RECITAL AT WABASH ASSOC Trained Artists to Appear on Last Program of the Season. The last free recital at the Wabash Avenue department, Y. M. C. A., will be held Thursday evening, May 13th.

Mundy, Miss Phyllis Woodward and Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Walter Gossett rendered a high class program at the last recital. RUSSELL BENEFIT FUND The benefit held at the Pekin on the 23rd in behalf of the "broken actors and street cripples" was a failure financially, and the fact that the majority of the people who had pledged their services were either out of town, sick due in or in the hospital, made the program much shorter than was anticipated. Frank P. George, the comedy-tragedian, put on "Justice" as an opener, and the manner in which he tore open his shirt was realistic; but he should have used a safety pin previous to taking his encore. The work of the Abyssinian trio was really meritorious, as was also that of Jack Smith and Will Minor Cook, who predeceased the tradition of the "Tangible" Clarence Jones' Orchestra was fine Glenn & Brogals are fair, under cork, and should always use it; but they were pretty good at that. The work of the Real Quartette was right up to their past reputation, especially the bass solo of John Turner. Then last but not least came George Cook and Frank P. George in their own version of "D. Drjekli and Mr. Hyde". Mr. Cook portrayed the death of Mr. Hyde, and it the consensus of opinion among the few who lived through it that Mr. Hyde didn't die half quick enough. Harry Jenkins, who had charge of the stage, apologized for something that he had not done, but which no one noticed whether he had done or not (and applauded the death at the end the great Sylvester hindered that he thought that $25 a box had too high a price for the boxes, and $1 a seat had been too high for the "seatues", and everybody present considered that he had told the truth, and Tom Cross, who was in on a pass, said, "Well, well, well," and thus the "monster" benefit went into history.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER WM.MARION COOK CHAMPION OF FOLK LORE SONG Eminent Composer and Orchestra Director Interviewed by Defender Reporter—Noted Musician Gives History of Racial Music from 1619. to Present Day—Jubilee Songs Triumphant Success. PRAISES HARRY BURLEIGH Race Gaining Real Culture and Beginning to Glory in Their Unmatched Heritage in Folklore Songs — Stopped at "Y"—Too Ill to Appear at Concert at Orchestra Hall—An Afro-American Beethoven Should Appear. Will Marion Cook, the greatest champion of the race in folklore songs, was in the city last week and stopped at the Washah Y. M. C. A. This noted genius was to have appeared at the "All Colored Concert" at Orchestra Hall but owing to a physical breakdown had to return to his mother at Washington, D. C., the city of his birth. For a number of years Mr. Cook has lived in New York City and here he has labored in the musical world. His songs, for the most part racial, have been sung up and down Broadway with wonderful success. He has put more talented members of the race on the road than any of our musician's, namely: Holland Hayes, Hillary Henry Boudreau, Melville Chalton, and others of his character. Mr. Cook's forte is chorus directing. It is in this particular that made him famous by directing the world renowned Williams and Walker Company. His genius, however, is known for his folklore compositions. Musical critics here and abroad claim that Mr. Cook has out classed all other composers of this character. Some of his biggest songs are "Springtime," "My Lady," "Love's Lane," "My Love is in de sky" "Mid de moon," "Exhortation," "Rain Song," "Swing Along," "My Lady's Lips." These are the numbers that stamped his individuality and ranked him as the champion of racial composers. A score of his compositions are among the incidental music in the shows of the race that have appeared in the past twenty-five years. All the great singers of the race that have become successful used compositions from Will Marion Cook. His success as a director and composer of music has been in developing of talented individuals is widely known both in this country and abroad. Chicagoans greatly regretted to learn of his serious illness last. Thursday and hope he will be able soon to be at his desk to carry on the work which he has so nobly and ably begun. Speaking of "Afro-American music and musicians," he said: The Beginning—1619-1850. The songs of sorrow, of joy, of humor, and of sentiment, were the natural growth of a race, musically inclined, in Africa, and whose melodious outpourings were intensified by the conditions of slavery. 1850-1855. Minstrel songs full of character, but less lofty of sentiment, and less true of real Negro aspiration and inspiration. (See songs of Jim Bibbler, 1870. Advent of jubilee singers—an artistic triumph. 1875-1888. No further development in Negro music. Cause: The Afro-American had been so thoroughly taught by the white man that his color, condition and accomplishment were inferior, that the younger generation at once threw aside all tradition. Any reference to the past became a disgrace. Except in a few schools of the south, to sing jubilee hymns and to sing American audience would be an insult to lead to the dismissal of teacher urging them. The Moody and Sankey hymns were used exclusively in our churches and schools—the glorious old slave hymns and spirituals frowned upon as "reminding us of a past full of shame and misery." (This is quoted from the protest of a prominent music teacher twenty years ago in the city of Washington.) Talented Negroes taught in their musical study and individual character that had attracted the attention of the world. Result, milk and water imitations of inferior white musicians. Beginning of Ragtime. About 1888. The starting and quick growth of so-called "ragtime." As far back as 1875, Negroes in the questionable resorts along the Mississippi had commenced to evolve this musical figure, but at the World's Fair, Chicago, "ragtime" got a running start, swept the Americas, then Europe, and today the craze has not diminished. Cause of Success: The public was tired of the sing song, samey, monotonous, mother, sister, father, sentimental, songs. Ragtime offered unique rhythms, curious groupings of words, and melodies that gave the zest of unexpectedness. Many Negroes, Irving Jones, Will Accoe, Bob Cole, Johnson Brothers, Gus Llewis, Dil Perril, Ernest Hogan, Williams and others wore some of the most colorful and lively songs. In other instances white actors and song writers would hear in St. Louis such melodies as "New Bully," "Hot Time," etc., would change the words (often unprintable) and publish them as their own creations. At this time came Dvorak. He saw that from this people, even though their material had been debased, must come a great school of music—not necessarily national—but rather new and characteristic. The rather new and characteristic in music. A few earnest Negro music students felt as did Dvorak. They studied the man—so broad, genial, and human—clearly and thoroughly. Harry Burleigh's Work. Some scholars of real musical accomplishments have named Burleigh as pupil of Dvork, is bartonte to St. George's Church, New York, CITY. By Cary B. Lewis. sings in the choir of the Jewish Temple, 44th street and 5th avenue, and is musical editor at Ricordi's, the leading operatic publisher house of the world. Mr. Burleigh's songs are published by Ricordi and Schirmer, the leading musical publisher. Nathaniel Dett, a very young man recently from Oberlin School of Music, and now director at Hampton, has in his developed "Listen to the Lamb," published by Schirmer, proven his right to be taken seriously by the musical public. Carl Dilton, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, a student for two years in Germany, has teacher in Atlanta, Ga., is a thorough musician the science of music, Melville Charlton the temperament and technique, is considered as ranking with the first organizers of New York City. Last, but greater than all of these, I must name a comedian, not a musician, George W. Walker, the late partner of Bert Williams. His has been the greatest influence in the development of modern Negro music. At 28 he could not read a note and could hardly write his name, yet day night he talked Negro music to his wife and compiled his writings to give him characteristic. Each year he wanted characteristic things. He engaged the best Negro voices in the United States, and their success in ensemble singing was a great in London, Paris and Berlin as in New York, Boston and Chicago (See criticisms of "In Dahomey," "Bandanna Land," "Alyssinia.") Dvorak would have been proud to have known such a man. In all reverence —Dvorak-George Walker. They had high ideals and they showed the way. Perhaps in a vast hereafter these two men may meet. The rough, mouth, great general Boehm master; the uneducated, highly polished; ebony African, with the gleaming mouth. Do you doubt that with one impulse their hands will join, and the mustif-like smile of the Boehmian will match the hairy grin of the American "Zulu" as they both whisper one word: "brother." Race Music in America **MUSIC IN AMERICA.** Today, Devonopop ergio music has just begun in america and Afro-American is finding himself. He has thrown aside puileira imitation of the white man. He has learned that a thorough study of the masters gives the knowledge of what is good and how to create. From the Russian, he has learned to get his inspiration from within; that his inexhaustible wealth of folklore legends and songs furnish him with material for compositions that will establish a great school of music and enrich musical literature. The Menace. The Afro-American wants results quickly. He does not believe in making haste slowly. He quickly turns to false white and colored friends, who wish to exploit him for anterior motives. The political "capet bagger" of "GS and "72 has the capet bagger" of "GS and "72 has the capet bagger" of "1915. Dovak, Safonoff, Hirsh and other great Punjabi directors and composers; Dedarewski, as well as many great singers, have told of the coming glory of the Negro musician. It is becoming a fad. In some of the large cities of the country, New York in particular, well meaning but ill advised who people are gathering together large choruses of poorly trained singers, without education either musical or general, and, in conjunction with unschool instrumentalists, are giving widely advertised concerts, claiming to represent the accomplishment of an entire race. They promise much—fulfill little. Let them rather show what they are doing and, with success or failure, no need. There is still an element of doubt in the mind of the cultured American. He says: "We concede the Negro's talent for music; we doubt his capacity for thorough development." The right way. What the Afro-American has thus far accomplished is only a promise—an expectation; the realization belongs to the future. A school must, and will be, established, perhaps at Washington, D. C. To head this school, an eminent European composer and teacher, secured (preferably a Russian) who, unhindered by prejudice, will understand, appreciate, and foster the peculiar musical genius of the Afro-American child. While giving the child the same grasp upon the science of composition as was Beethoven's he will also show that strength of character and profound knowledge of his people, as well as technical skill, made Beethoven the master. Individuality, and Then More Individuality. Such a school will require money. It will not be fortheming if, as soon as a few Negroes have learned the first principles of breathing, or being able to play the scale of G one or two tonality, without serious offense to tonality, that they are once exploited in some temple of music, may be the Boston Symphony Orchestra had just finished a concert, perfect in every detail. The Negro composer (and there are a few in the United States who are receiving serious consideration) should mainly find his inspiration in the imperishable melodies of his enslaved ancestors. When he shall have developed works worthy of rendition he will find both Negroes and whites ready and willing to offer them. All through the South, Southwest and West there are Negroes with beautiful voices. What is more, because of the home life of these people they are gaining real culture. They are laying the shame of the past, and are beginning to glory in their unmatched heritage folk songs and folk songs. The "Afro-American Polk Singers," Washington, D. C., the chorus at Howard University, and others, are ready to do justice to the choir works of Negro Beethoven, should he see note below. To them we look for results, by them we would be judged. New York and other large cities of the North are neither seeking nor finding "the right way." Continuing, he said: "I do not mention Hampton, where they sing the primitive slave melodies so beautiful, for this reason. To sing works of development to which the composer gave thought and culture requires thought and culture. If you, admitting an inferior condition, fail to give to the child opportunity for breadth, which only come from comprehensive development, just so far you have hindered his understanding, appreciation and rendition of all masterpieces." HACKNEY CONCERT MUSICAL TREAT 'All Colored Composers' " Recital at Orchestra Hall a Success—Misses Helen Hagen and Maude J. Roberts Share Honors of the Evening. Mr. William H. Hackney, one of Chicago's energetic young men and interested in the elevation of musical uplift, was the promoter of the second annual All Colored Composers' Concert at Orchestra Hall, Friday evening, April 23. While the attendance was not as large as expected, yet the crowd was representative and appreciative. The solists were Miss Helen E. Hagen of Massachusetts, Miss Maude Roberts and Mr. Henry Hackney of the city. Accompanists were Mrs. Pelagie L. Blair, Miss Nora Lena James and Mr. Pierre Callaux. The program opened with Will Marion Cook's "Swing Along" by the Umbrian Maude Roberts and the tenor singer of considerable training, rendered selections from S. Coleridge Taylor, Will Marion Cook and Harry T. Burleigh. Considering the extraordinary effort of the singers to make the function a success by working up to the last minute, they did well. Miss Helen Hagen, who won the Samuel Sandford $2,000 Foreign Fellowship, Yale University Conservatory 1912, played her "Concerto in C minor" (first movement). Her execution and technique were wonderful, demonstrating her ability as an artist of the highest rank. Her work was so highly appreciated that she played several encores. Miss Hagen received a beautiful bunch of American Beauties. Miss Maud Roberts sang "Life and Dawn" from S. Coleridge Taylor and T. Nora Lena James. "An Expandion" by S. Coleridge Taylor was the big number sung by Miss Maud Roberts. Her singing was extremely sweet and delightful. The audience burst into applause after the rendering of each number. Miss Roberts received two handsome bunches of American Beauties. Mr. Edward C. Moore of the journal, a musical critic, said the next afternoon, "Miss Maude Roberts rejoices in the possession of a high, clear and excellently trained soprano soprano, Ms. Roberts," she also received special mention last week in the musical news at the Herman Devries' pupils recital. Miss James' song, "Who Knows?" sung by Miss Roberts, was received with genuine applause. Miss James accompanied the solist. Most of the boxes were filled, Mr. Hackett to the boxes to have Mr. Harry Burleigh next season. Mr. Kelley directed the Umbrian Glee Club. Mr. Walter Gossett played the pipe organ.

Binga Diamond was interviewed on his return from the University of Pennsylvania relay races and said: "Wilke, the long, stringy athlete of Yale, covered the quarter mile leg of the distance medley relay in 49.2, a clip that proved too fast for yours truly, after the long trip from Chicago, which ended just that morning. Permit me to record as saying that I could have easily defeated the Yale man if he hadn't been in so much of a hurry. "True to custom, Stagg, the grand old man of the Midway, awarded the Chicago 'C' to the point winners of the indoor season. Ralph Cornwall and I were the fortunate ones. "The class of the Philadelphia games panned out to be the great exhibition of the marvelous Drew, the wonderful work of Roy Campbell, my running mate in the two-mile relay, and the glorious sprinting performer, the ennounced Ted Merdith, who piloted the sylvania quartette over the one-mile relay stretch in the unbelievable time of 3:18, smashing the former world's record to smithereens.

CURRIE PRAISED FOR HANDLING THE KIMBROUGH CASE Detroit, Mich., April 30—A mass meeting called by the Pastors' Union at the funeral of the late Rev. James W. King, nursing, April 26th, for the purpose of raising funds to secure a new trial for Chasa. The funeral service was on April 4th for the murder of Rose Ferman, who disappeared on the 3rd of January. The story of this case is as follows: Rose Ferner was sent on an errand and a reel of ropes. The police were notified and the secreter was brought in and about the factory where Kimbrough was employee. Kimbrough was employed as a cook and took a boiler. The supposition was that he had disposed of this child's body by putting it in a tank and brought it through conditions in the factory on Monday a. m. testified by some of the wifes and others who said the bodies were there others who said the bodies was hot. One witness claimed there was about 15 pounds of steam on the Sunday morning and supposed to have committed the crime and supposed to have employed had eaten pork chops, and Monday on the bones were taken out and turned in. He was arrested and kept in jail some days before he knew what he was arraigned for. The company has borne a good reputation in Saginaw up until this time. When his wife was arrested, he has been brilliant young worker, Rokt. W. Curle of Saginaw. Mr. R. W. Curle in a statement made to some friends said that he had brought in a woman who had brought in innocence. And not, if he had believed so, he would advise him to plead the case. Kimbrough case deserves the greatest attention. Although he used every possible means in trying to prove the innocence of his wife the jury found him guilty of this charge. In this connection let us state, although Chas. Kimbrough has been found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison, life there are a number of the best white citizens of Saginaw who believe in his intelligence. We must thank Mrs. W. F. Paine and Mr. Daniel Sturgis, whose addresses have been appreciated by this audience in listening to their plan for a square deal for a man who they have every reason to believe in. Mrs. W. F. Paine, R. L. Bradley and Rev. Evans addressed the meeting, at which time funds were naked for to defray the expenses of a new anybody wishing to donate towards this city may forward money to Mrs. W. F. Paine, 125 South Street, Saginaw, Mich.

BISHOP FALLOWS TAKES EDITOR OF CRISIS TO TASK BISHOP FALLOWS TAKES EDITOR OF CRISIS TO TASK President Illinois Commission, Half Century Negro Freedom, Denies Statements Made by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois. The following communication in reply to the attack by Dr. DuBois, Editor of the Crusis, was given to the press today, but the attack was not Brooklyn, Dr. DuBois made his first public assault upon the Illinois Commission. The speech was given to the press, but the attack was not Brooklyn, Dr. DuBois finding the public journals of the country closed to such person vituperative. One of the most prominent citizens of the state of New York speaking of this issue, Mr. Moore, the commission under date of March 27, 1915: "Apart from the unachability of mind impinges upon a man to impugn the motives of other men upon which to base his charges, I think it comes with bad grace from Dubois and Centennial Commission, which commission is believed to have used one-fifth of their appropriation and allowed the rejection of such charges. I have it upon the authority of Fred I. Moore, the editor of the New York Age, that notwithstanding the law requiring legislature within ninety days after the close of the exposition, they have only made the report, and they have had to account for, more than 40,000 views of these facts. I am sure you will agree with me that Professor Dubois, of which he should have been silent in all the mediciaries, will with respect to the Chicago Exposition." Chicago, April 28, 1915. Dr. W. E. B.

A CONQUERING RACE MODESTY IS A RARE VIRTUE and one greatly to thank for the race as a whole even though they have accomplished worth while during the last half century, are never found, are puffed up, in fact self-depreciation seems to have a first man. Too much praise has a tendency to spice, too little care. Every now and then the spotlight of public opinion is a member of our race who has accomplished something out of the way.

We our mind stored full of worthly accomplishments of the race may boast, but the race may enlighten. William L.

Right here in the United States a race has moved for a camphantly. The drama of the American Negro's advance is true, has not been accompanied by a military glamour, musical, nor has it had the literary stimulus of a great business. But for all the quietness and unobtrusiveness of movement, their victories have an immense meaning for the world. They have succeeded in the arts of peace, by generation by generation, they have become more fit for the struggle of contemporary life. They have accomplished of lifting a people en masse.

Mr. Chenery has found in the sheets of the document soon to be issued by the census book of astonishing facts and figures that give grounds for the fact that we are in the van guard of progress and marvelous advance.

The world is beginning to take notice, our spotlight, our every movement is watched, our successes noted. We must, we will live up to what is expected. MODESTY IS A RARE VIRTUE and one greatly to be admired, the race as a whole even though they have accomplished some things worth while during the last half century, are never found bragging or puffed up, in fact self-depreciation seems to have a firm hold on them. Too much praise has a tendency to speak, too little can discourage. Every now and then the spotlight of public opinion is turned on a member of our race who has accomplished something out of the ordinary. We join in with the other astonished ones in the praise chorus, and then lapse in a few days, into forgetfulness. We should have our mind stored full of worthy accomplishments of the race, not that we may boast, but that we may enlighten. William L.

The drama of the American Negro's advancement, it is true, has not been accompanied by a military glamour with its martial music, nor has it had the literary stimulus of a great racial consciousness. But for all the quietness and unobtrusiveness of this upward movement, their victories have an immense meaning for the welfare of the world. They have succeeded in the arts of peace.

AS TO LYNCHINGS. WETHER THE EUROPEAN WAR is directly or indirect for the killing spirit that seems so prevalent recently, it open for discussion. It is however a curiously interesting fact, while during the first seven months of last year the number of monthly lynchings was between three and four, the last five months it was between eight and ten, also interesting to learn that the statistic collectors did not total lynchings last year. Tukegee reported that in the 54 and the Crisis 74, five of the last number being lynched seems to have taken the trouble to look up the story of lynchings of cattle thieves in the far West. Surely they were all of a sudden out in that neck of the woods. During one years ending January 1st, 1903, there were 3,235 lynchings in United States, 1,872 black, 1,256 white, the color of the race not being known. Thus the average yearly lynchings of people was 89 and of whites 59. Among the victims was 38 of these being colored and 21 white. Only about half of these occurred in the South most of the remainder being caught is known as the far West. It is reasonable to support the past twelve years in the remote and thinly settled desert, that a considerable number of lynchings occurred. The number of lynchings in older and more populous sections where race is strong has been an impetus rather than a deterrent engaged in illegal executions of white men in the wilds of the far West. It would appear, therefore, that the armed lynching record covers only about half the ground the collectors of such statistics are more interested in race than in historical accuracy. REMEMBER THAT YOUR FRIENDS are not mindless; they might be a good idea if you have moved to advise them on address; then again you might put it in the paper, the only thing this being it puts creditors as well as friends wise. THE PROSPERITY LINE of march there were a showing conclusively Chicago is one more WHETHER THE EUROPEAN WAR is directly or indirectly responsible for the killing spirit that seems so prevalent recently, is a question open for discussion. It is however a curiously interesting fact that, while during the first seven months of last year the average number of monthly lynchings was between three and four, during the last five months it was between eight and nine. It is also interesting to learn that the statistic collectors disagree as to the total lynchings last year. Tukegee reported 52, the Tribune 54 and the Crisis 74, five of the last number being white. No one seems to have taken the trouble to look up the statistics of the lynching of cattle thieves in the far West. Surely they haven't reformed all of a sudden out in that neck of the woods. During the twenty-one years ending January 1st, 1903, there were 3,235 lynchings in the United States, 1,872 black, 1,250 white, the color of the remaining 105 not being known. Thus the average yearly lynchings of colored people was 89 and of whites 59. Among the victims were 61 women, 38 of these being colored and 21 white. Only about half the lynchings occurred in the South most of the remainder being credited to what is known as the far West. It is reasonable to suppose that during the past twelve years in the remote and thinly settled districts out West, that a considerable number of lynchings occurred. The frequency of lynchings in older and more populous sections where race prejudice is strong has been an inimpetus rather than a deterrent to those engaged in illegal executions of white men in the wilder districts of the far West. It would appear, therefore, that the average published lynching record covers only about half the ground, and that the collectors of such statistics are more interested in race problems than in historical accuracy. REMEMBER THAT YOUR FRIENDS are not mind readers and it might be a good idea if you have moved to advise them of your new address; then again you might put it in the paper, the only drawback to this being it puts creditors as well as friends wise.

"The South has invocably decreed against the mixture of the white and black races. The black man is not to be destroyed, subjugated, nor absorbed. The races must learn to live together contentedly." This advice was given the southern people during the sixties and it was thought indelibly impressed on their minds, but they seem so forgetful; every once in a while they lapse into their old ways, believing they are still masters of all they survey. In the matter of absorption it is a difficult matter to tell whether the colored man or the white man is being absorbed, and it really doesn't matter much in the long run. That something is happening in the sunny south is evident by the rainbow shades of the people who make that section of the country their home. Dr. Abbott tells us "We are teaching in our public educational system science and the humanities, but we are not teaching the laws of right and wrong." If in our school rooms they lack the teaching of the fundamental principles of life, how can we expect to harvest a crop of honest, honorable, upright men and women. The man or woman who never questions whether a thing is right or wrong has no place in our life scheme, they are misfits; fortunately this class is far in the minority. Because we are living in the twentieth century much is expected of us. Dr. Abbott's remarks are timely and deserve our earnest consideration. THE CASE OF LEO FRANK REME COURT OF THE UNITED has been given a fair trial and must ha Fagan girl. Public opinion counted v It is safe to say that two tribes THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES held that Leo Frank has been given a fair trial and must hang for the murder of the little Fagan girl. Public opinion counted very little in this remarkable case. It is safe to say that two-thirds of the press of the country, together with countless organizations, lent their voice and support to the freeing of this condemned man, but justice was deaf as well as blind, and Frank having been decreed guilty by a jury of his countrymen should prepare to meet his fate stoically. His counsel took advantage of every technicality known in legal procedure and having vainly endeavored to cast aspersions upon the testimony of the colored witnesses in the case, it is fair to assume that Frank was really guilty. This is the first notable case in the history of the South where the black man has not been made the goat of public opinion backed up by the law. There was no stone left unturned, however, to build up a conspiracy against the colored man, even the Burns detective agency was used to put the burden of guilt upon the other fellow. Such dastardly measures became a boomerang at the bar of justice and as the case was carried from court to court the original decision was upheld. It is to be hoped this instance will be epoch making in the history of the South as well as in the entire republic. Justice still remains the blind eyed goddess. EDITOR MONROE TROTTER, of the Boston Guardian, is still doing big things in his burg. Just at present he is wrestling with the question of how to down the promoters of the cojectionable movie "The Birth of a Nation." Never say die is his motto, so great things can be expected. IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING to plan a summer vacation, even if you never take it. THE DEATH OF A MOVIE. WHENEVER IT BECOMES NECESSARY to appeal to the baser instincts of men in order to extract from their purse a pittance, it is high time the law step in and say so far shall you go and no farther. The Birth of a Nation, a motion picture play of "The Clansman," has features so objectionable and detrimental to the whole race permission has been refused the promoters to show it in many of our leading cities. In Boston a riot almost occurred. The Governor has taken a hand in the proceedings, declaring that if there is no law on the statute books to prohibit such exhibitions he will send a special message to the legislature and have one enacted. The mayor of Boston did all that he could to have the objectionable parts eliminated but the picture is far from satisfactory in the form in which it was shown. Whatever the criticism of the methods used to suppress this prejudice-breeding picture in Boston, it must be remembered that they were only used as a last resort and those guilty of taking the law in their own hands may be pardoned, for their fight was not a selfish one, but concerned vitally the peace and welfare of the whites and blacks alike. Seldom, if ever, can there be found a film or a play depicting falsely the traits and habits of other races. Nothing degrading concern them is allowed to have a public appearance, and why? Simply because the nationality affected makes a united and determined fight against it, and fortunately they have some power behind them, all save the Jews, who would undoubtedly be in our same boat were it not for the power the wield in the financial world. The misnomer—"Birth of a Nation"—is coming to Chicago, a license has been granted by the outgoing administration. Our new mayor has already been appealed to to stop the performance, he has given his promise that it shall not be shown, and we believe that if it is within his power he will carry out his promise. Big, broad Chicago wants nothing that is in any way going to affect the pleasant relations between the two races. It is not good public policy needlessly to invite breaches of the peace. It is patent that no desirable end can be served by giving further vogue to the partisan and misleading Dixon play, whose bias cannot be detected and allowed for by the average audience. The motto of the race in Chicago is "I will" strike a telling blow whenever and wherever necessary at the demon prejudice, it matters not in what form he may come. "RUBE" FOSTER and his clever aggregation of ball players are delivering the goods, much to the satisfaction of the fans who have a sneaking idea that they could measure bats either with the "Cubs" or the "White Sox." Well, there's nothing like faith. NOW THAT CHICAGO is having a place in the sun under William Hale Thompson we hope for the speedy exit of the shady flats in residence districts. Watch next week's issue for particular instances. ONCE AGAIN AND A LITTLE LOUDER, because you voted for Mayor Thompson is no real good reason for expecting him to repay you with a position, remember there are others. WE TRUST IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY to have a special policeman detailed on the "Stroll" to keep would-be mashers from making a nuisance of themselves this summer. THE ALLIES ASSURED US some moons ago that the Germans would be wiped off the map before the flowers bloomed again in the spring. In order not to disappoint they should put up or shut up.

It may or may not be a race attribute, but it has been said of us that we are prone to let our impulses hold sway over our better judgment. Let us not swamp the city hall with a hoard of unfit and undesirable place seekers. The work the other fellow is doing to be successful means that it has taken learning and labor and time. The business of the city like the machinery of any other great enterprise, to be changed, must be changed slowly to be changed without a loss to the tax payer. To be radical means often to be destructive. Let us be content with Mayor Thompson's shibboleth and trust to time. He says, "Make good or make way." No one should expect to be placed in a position out of sentiment or sympathy, we have too long banked on these things to carry us along. In this day and time worth is the only thing that counts. Because you are white, black, brown or yellow is no reason why you should be favored. If we are American citizens, as we claim to be, we should be willing to sink or swim with the other fellow. That we haven't been given an equal chance in the past is an undeniable fact, but what concerns us most now is the future, and there is every indication that it will be just what we make it. The door of opportunity isn't entirely closed, there is a little opening and with a concerted push it will open wider. In Mayor Thompson we undoubtedly have a warm friend, let us appreciate him. UP TO DATE that lowering of the price of flats talk that was so prevalent during the winter months hasn't materialized. While rents haven't advanced materially, the old price is far above what a great many of them are really worth. THE CITY WHICH PERMITS a high death rate among a certain portion of its population without trying to check it is doomed. Germs are no respectors of color. Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. By D. W. Johnson. "The Black Man, Father of Civilization" by Elder James Morris Webb, A. M. is a neat little book, cloth bound. Rev. Webb is an ardent champion of his race, and through his works he wishes to instill confidence in them of their power and ability to rise to the heights of progress and civilization as they once possessed in ancient times. He asserts that the black man is the father of civilization, and by a series of references to the bible he conclusively proves it. The book is an able defense of the race and shows that with an equal opportunity they are capable of realizing all the high and noble qualities of the human race. The reader will also find a very beautiful and instructive oration by P. Ka Isaka Seme, a nativeborn African, who won the first prize Curtis medal in 1906 at the Columbia University. The subject of Mr. Seme's oration is "The Regeneration of Africa." This book merits the consideration of all who are interested in the welfare of the race. Published by Wm. H.

This agitation about tips we see in the daily papers headed in bold type was never intended to benefit the tippee, but, on the contrary, it has injured him in more ways than financially. Whenever good service and strict attention is given the patrons they take pleasure in compensating the attendant, if only in a small way, to show their appreciation of the efforts of the attendant to please. The more this subject is agitated the more harm it creates. Restrictive and prohibitive legislation cannot be invoked to change a man or woman's disposition, but must still depend upon the will of the individual. Many are trained from childhood up to reward and show their appreciation of attentiveness and good service. An occurrence which frequently happens on the train is when the passengers are nearing their destination after a pleasant trip they will hand their child a coin—25 cents or perhaps a half dollar—telling it to go and be brushed off, and give the porter the money. Now that child will always remember this, and consequently becomes a habitual tipper, as that was its first impression. It is business, not charity. Does the church wish to abolish the contribution basket? Do the people on the mail carriers' route forget him at the close of the year? We all feel grateful for services rendered for our comfort—J. D. Reynolds in The California Eagle. Merely a Hint. Evelyn had been instructed by her mother not to ask anyone for a penny.

PROCTOR The Boy and Girl Problem—It is a credit to our civilization and to pro- pose this evidence of a realization of com- munity responsibility in child development, which our various big brother and social settlement movements show. Stud- ments of this work are a special of the fact that the development of the child is now a science worthy of the most careful study. Hereditary environment and all other factors are given the atten- tion of the question, all of the work. Every child is considered individually and given credit for individual tendencies and characteristics. No two, even under similar conditions, are expected to have the same possi- bilities. When a boy or girl is given of criminal tendencies or of being mentally sub-normal now, neither punishment nor indifference is the result, but a careful study of each case with the hope of ultimate redemption or cure as the object is tried. Parents should keep themselves posted if it is possible, with the discoveries soaked from time to time along this line. The parents should with the care a horticulturist studies his plants. Consideration must be given each child as a separate case and these to a specific treatment. The nervous child, the emotional child, the timid child are all the result of certain conditions and entirely different methods must be adopted in each case. The health of the child is a factor in the habits and are all factors in the moral, physical development of the child. Recent investigations in the cases of many craniopathies in subnormal boys led to the discovery that the eyes, ears and teeth were largely responsible for both conditions. Opportunity and circumstances play no small part in the shipping of youthful destinies. A story is told of a prominent man when a small boy, was as fond of apples as most boys are and who also was not part of these apples satisfied his appetite. A little boy and another boy were stealing apples from a neighbor's tree when they were put to flight by the neighbor who happened to be them. The judge through superior fleetness of the escaped, but his chum was caught in a crime, sent to fail. No effort was made to rescue punishment was the object sought, and as the boy was poor and had no one to him it was obtained. Years afterward, when one morning had a prisoner brought the chum charged with a terrible crime to be sent with life. He stood up, looked closely at the prisoner, and recognized his companion of the long past escapade. Shocked and sorrowful, all he could do was to secure a shorter sentence for the unfortunate man. Here were two persons. One had been as good as the other, but fortune, influences, opportunity and education had made difference in their careers. A little patience, sympathy and the judge's companion made them a worthwhile man, too; but he was victim of a poor conception of justice. We have thousands of boys and girls among the hopes of mothers, fathers and a race, duty to see that every possible consideration be given them. Many of them are being trained, trained and prepared for the battle, there are many others who if allowed to take their present pace will amount to a huge and retard the progress of the entire men among us and many who give up their time to this problem we need more. We have one man, an inexperienced—the mention of his name might interfere with his work—who is very prominent such as whose work is a credit to his branch of the police service. He says that in many places among air people conditions are deplorable only he is improved by the co-operation of more air community. We need a big brother to cement. If you can do no more you can set a good example for those young people who are associated with you. True Courage. "I understand that Mr. Grabwell started in life by borrowing $50. You must admire a man with courage like that." "No. I don't," replied Mr. Growcher. "The man I admire is one who had the courage to lend to the fifty."
