The FORRESTVILLE AV.CIRCUS Will Robert T. Lincoln Be the Second Emancipator? LATEST NEWS If You See It In The Defender It's So The F Will Rob AFRO-AMERICANS IN HOUSTON TO WALK Houston, Tex. May 7—Members of the race here have become tired of the humiliating treatment of the street car company and conductors and are going to walk or ride in their own automobiles and vehicles. Empty street cars go around the city with two seats screened off for members of the race, the other part of the car reserved for whites. It is said that an enterprising race man is going to operate a jitney bus line. ANOTHER MEMBER OF RACE IS LYNCHED Prominent White Gentlemen Take Law in Their Hands and Lynch Man—No Legal Action Taken—Another Disgrace Added to the Name of Tennessee —Protected Himself and Before Dying Took Two With Him. Sommerville, Tenn., May 7—Tom Brooks was taken from automobile at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning by a mob of white gentlemen (blue bloods) and strung up on a railroad trestle, where his body was riddled with bullets. His body was found by passersby after a shot and killed R. L. Day and P. W. Hawkins a week ago and was taken to Memphis. The killing of Brooks took place when he was being brought here for trial at an early hour when the mob stopped the automobile and "forced" the sheriff to give up the prisoner, a hundred or more making the demand. There was a perfunctory and helpless death due to hands of the mob. There was no funeral, the father of the dead man refusing to have anything to do with the body. The killing of the two white men was due to the fact that Brooks was protecting himself. Men dying like this are considered heroes. "If you must die, take one with you. Men everywhere are in peace for protecting his manhood." If lynching is an institution in this country, the brave men of the race intend to have their vengeance upon the perpetrators of such infamy. The twenty-fourth annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias was held last Sunday at Friendship Baptist Church, 218 North Ada street. The principal addresses were delivered by Major尔德 R. R. Wesley, Dr. A. W. Wesley, and the Rev. L. Drave preached the Thanksgiving sermon. Others on the program were: Mrs. Nancy Jones, Mrs. Lula Redd, Mrs. Emma Harris, Albert Jones and John Wesley, and ten companies, nine courts and one cadet were present at the sermon. The Negro Fellowship League was organized in September, 1908, directly after the Springfield riot, for the purpose of developing civic, industrial, political and social fellowship and union in the race. For two years meetings were held in the home of the Negro Club in Barnett, where very careful study was given to race conditions. It was found there was a growing population in the black belt; that industrial conditions were becoming more and more acute every day; the housing problem becoming worse instead of better; the lack of housing at Barnett was no uplifting influence at work on the masses. With the aid of friends the Reading Room and Social Center for Men and Boys was opened on May 1, 1910, on State street in the heart of the "black belt." Its objects were, first, to provide food for the mind by offering a library and an attractive place in which boys could spend their leisure during their "lay off" from work and keep them out of saloons and pool rooms etc., and at the same time store the mind with useful knowledge; second, to provide employment for those who seek it, and supply, the industrial skills, to open a lodging for men and boys; third, to provide time was there a decent, cheap lodging place in the district.

May 7-White women as dining car waiters have proven a failure. The first of the month they were installed on the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad, on a short run between, Cleveland and Wheeling, but the fair servers of ham and—have had nothing but trouble.

Residents of Color Everywhere. The enterprising citizen of color who has dared to purchase a house in other than the former prescribed neighborhoods, has had the same trouble to contend with. But to recount the large number of lone families "of color" in erstwhile exclusive neighborhoods is too long a newspaper article. Their entries in the newspaper outline caused the same rumpus that the Davis purchase did, but fortunately the purchasers were men and women of the right caliber. They knew their rights—they "stuck." and are living in their homes at this time. The indignation of the outraged white folks ran the allotted nine days, strange to say, very few of them moved to say, and many years ago the late J. W. E.

Mr. Taylor is one of the few publishers of a race pay that has made the business pay. For many years Mr. and Mira Taylor resided in their large building on Federal street, where he owns other property. Julius F.

HEARTLESS MAYOR IS PARALYZED After Ordering Afro-American Children to Walk on One Side of the Street. (Special to the Chicago Defender), Danny Van, May, Young Afro-American boy, forced to walk on one side of the street coming from school by the mayor of the city. He ordered the police to enforce the program and arrest all school children who did not comply. White children, however could go on either side of the street. When an Afro-American stranger comes to the city he is scared and questioned. If he looks suspicious to the sight of an Irish policeman he is arrested. Even the streets where, members of the race live are not kept clean. A report has just been heard that the mayor who has been so heartless to Afro-Americans was paralyzed.

Judge Brackett denounced in severe terms the color discrimination in selling to white people when they stopped selling tickets at the approach of a number of the race in the lobby. He said this was contrary to the equal rights of Massachusetts and was entirely wrong. He praised the race as good citizens, said they were entitled to justice and equality. He criticized Mr. Trotter for not leading the people away, even though their rights were being denied. He praised the conduct of the audiences present at the trials.

LINCOLN PLEADS IGNORANCE OF PORTERS' CONDITION Son of Great Emancipator and Former President of the Pullman Company for Thirty-Seven Years Is Witness Before Industrial Commission and Displays Amazing Amount of Ignorance of Employee's Needs. SAYS TIPS ARE ALL RIGHT AND WOULD RAISE PORTERS' PAY Declares That He Is Disappointed in Progress Race Has Made—Correspondent Points Out Reason and Gives Interesting Facts Regarding the Company and Its Faithful But Poorly Paid Servants. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Washington, D. C., May 7—Tuesday before the industrial commission appeared the Hon. R. T. Lincoln, former president of the Pullman company for thirty years. the Nisi Prisi courts of England the king and his court traveled to dispense justice from one borough to another, and our tipping problem began. At every inn conveniently for In testifying before that honorable body Mr. Lincoln declared that the Afro-American has not made the progress that he should have made; that tipping does not demoralize the employee upon Pulman cars; that employees are paid for extra service by the company; that the company's regulations; that the company has been a benefactor to the race by employing its members upon their cars, and that employees' wage basis should be modified to meet present conditions, although tipping would not cease, regardless of increase in pay by the company. Again, says he, the degree of abnormal conditions relating to the company is without his personal knowledge. Mr. Lincoln is the son of the famous emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, to whom the world has paid its grateful debt in eulogies to him who in the cause and interest of humanity paid the penalty of death, that human rights should triumph, while the song of freedom marches on forever. **Note.** Of all the statesmen-like edup on the battlefield of Gettysburg, where breathes the spirit of love, truth and liberty, the soul of mankind moved by the highest senses of divine justice so commonplace in that great man, to the sorrowful, appalling mockery of truth uttered by his son, who gave his ideas to the public this week. There is nothing in mankind of this case which will hide the truth, our interest here is impartial to all. Our duty is to defend the truth. Mr. Lincoln as president of the Pullman company has no reason to malign the race, and possibly a limited knowledge of its progress, except those of the race who are employees in his company's service. Speaking of the Pullman柄 as having made no progress, let us seek the cause. Growth and Development. Suppose you plant a tree in the soil, with roots concrete walls. The plant can develop to its root foundation, as the root the forces dependent upon it develop. We cannot have large trees without root foundation. If the Afro-American in the Pullman service has not developed in true ratio with the machine which he operates, the true fact of the dwarfed growth lies with the officials of the Pullman company. Social phenomena and physical phenomena are indentical parallels. The curse of slavery is not the downtrodden forefather with iron fetters about his feet, but we of a succession generation who today are held hard and fast by the damnation of its hellish curse—"Jim Crowism." We are "Jim Crowism." cement and steel Education in the best schools of learning, coupled with conscientious effort and years of faithful service, have failed to move common prejudices which prevent our progress as service men upon the highways of America. A cloud with darker omen to the race than the shameless attitude of a rich and prosperous corporation which ignores the intelligent effort of its most loyal workers. Work without honest reward place us with the grave of the dead—predicts the natural crime of the oppressors of progress. The cries of our foretresses, wronged through injustice, might arouse the passion of hatred and and us at last in the ditch of despair and crime. Allow common justice to arouse the cause of the Afro-American Youth, which will ill err. Tipping Does Not Demoralize. Tipping is a product of the foulal ages, as we all know.

WESTERN ALBERTA IDEAL SPOT FOR AFRO-AMERICAN G. F. Gillison Says Thrifty Members of the Race Will Find Every Encouragement in Canada—The Success of a Small Party Who Settled There in 1912. Mr. G. F. Gillison, a well-known railroad man running through Canada, who is visiting Chicago for a few days, has addressed the following letter to the Chicago Defender: "Editor Defender: After making thorough investigation during my travels in western Canada I find western Alberta the ideal spot for the Afro-American. Up in the Peace river there is a bright future for you. It is more best chance, and should be taken advantage of. I met some of those advantages on the line in 1912 near Seattle. Now they are shipping to the markets great quantities of wheat, flax and other products. They also have a very good settlement there. I would not advise you to go into Manitoba or Saskatchewan is no place for you there—the worst place. But western Alberta is a little quieter and nearer British Columbia. There you get an abundance of rain, you need for crops, saving the expense of irrigation or waiting for the winter snow to melt to condition your ground. The nearer you get to the coast the milder it gets. The settlers in the other are very social, and they are very prejudiced. These parts not been invaded by those who have caused prejudice, and for that reason you can establish yourself and make this country one of the most prosperous that has ever been known for the Afro-American, according to progress they have, made since 1912. Both soil and minerals. I repeat, this looks to be our chance. Think it over. And since these people have made possible for you, and they want you, Mr. Farmer, this understated mean you. That has been proven. Then I persuaded the Canadian immigration officers to take these people into Vancouver B. C, and investigate them, they would have to have $50 each to enter Canada. They produced $50,000, and were accommodated in Vancouver, until the weather would permit them to go into Alberta, and make good. There is one important thing, however. That is, the newwoman must abide by the Canadian law, which are strict, but they are just." Local news, and entertainment must not be written in these columns.

FLIES THE MOST DANGEROUS OF PESTS Additional Warning Against Harboring Unspeakably Nasty Insect—Contoct to Swat the Pest, —A Word About Screens, and Other Health Hints, (Press Service, Department of Health). According to the New Hampshire state health department, great advancement has been made in the knowledge of cancer and in what may be done greatly to reduce the mortality resulting therefrom. In the quarterly reports recently issued, Dr. Irving A. Watson wrote that the state board, points out that both the physician and the patient should realize that the early discovery and removal of this disease are of supreme importance. The only two methods of treatment worthy of serious consideration are said to be complete removal by the surgeon as soon as the growth is discovered, or in case of superficial or so-called skin cancers, the use of X-rays or radium. But it is emphatically stated that these newer methods offer no reliable hope of cure, except in the treatment of surface cancers. No paste or other preparation externally applied to deep-seated cancers—like cancer of the breast—is necessary. If whatever, or the other name, must lessen the chance of life through delay in substituting this treatment in place of early removal by the surgeon. Here is a mixture that will kill flies: To a pint of milk and water of equal parts add two tablespoonful of formaldehyde. In shallow plates, with a square of bread in the center of each plate. The bread furnishes places for the flies to alight, and it also absorbs the mixture the flies will feed from it more readily than the flies in the plates. It is good plan to place plates containing the poison just outside the kitchen door, where the flies usually swarm to get in. The flies seem to like it, and it kills them quickly. Why should human beings be compelled to work in freetraps? But because they are so compelled, the road to safety so often lies through danger and death. In most work places the danger from fire is remote compared with that from dirty air. As between rotten food and rotten hair is hard to say which is the worse, but no human being should be compelled to eat the one or breathe the other. The best time to swat the fly is before he is born. Don't delay overhauling and painting the screens for your doors and windows. As the fly breeds mainly in stable filth and garbage, all accumulations of manure and garbage should be removed. When it is remembered that the fly is unspeakably nasty in its habits that you can't talk about it without "turning" people's stomachs, it should be enough to brand it as a most dangerous little pest to have around. Then and Now. The old-fashioned woman's idea of resting was to change her work. She sat down to darn stockings and rest, or she got her Bible lesson or nursed her baby or knit winter socks while she rested. Resting was getting off her feet. Today a woman has to buy herself 20 kinnies and caps and go off to an expensive saturatorium and have a trained nurse give her the milk cure, to rest, up—El Paso (Tex.) Herald. Discordant Thoughts In wandering through your mental pleasure-grounds, whenever you come upon an ugly intruder of a thought which might bloom into some poisonous emotion such as fear, envy, hate, worry, remorse, anger, and the like, there is only one right way to treat it. Pull it up like a weed; drop it upon the rubbish-heap as promptly as if it were a stinging nettle; and let some harmonious thought grow in its place.—Robert H. Schauffer. Disease to Exterminate Grasshoppers. To exterminate havoc-working drove of grasshoppers in Salvador and Guatemala some virus has been obtained from Brazil, and a number of insects are to be inoculated and turned loose. The disease thus spread is remarkably fatal to grasshoppers. Really Tailor's Own Fault. One reason why some may not pay the tailor is that they try to follow his directions as to the different clothes required for different hours of the day and have time to earn any money.

It was so very successful that she paid the following tribute to Mrs. Walker. There are those who have been benefited and reaped from such benefactions who realize that all blessings flow from purity. There are those who have benefited from the heart overflows with works of love and respect—who are not unmindful of such happiness be- bestowed on them. "I want to thank you, Madam, for your interest and for your aid, for had you not helped me I would have to have give up my music and could not have a harp of my own. Please thank the people—the public who came to show me they wanted me to succeed. You have done more for me than any one, another and I, a stranger. I sincerely thank you for this check for three hundred dollars to make the first payment on my harp. You have offered me a home. May God bless you and may you always be successful and happy." Madame Walker has sent the following letter to the Chicago Defender: "I noticed in this week's issue of your paper that you had a write-up of a Miss Frances Spencer, formerly of this city, who arrived in Chicago last Wednesday to locate permanently. I am to say for the benefit of the people here, so we generously responded to a call made by me for a benefit recital for this supposedly worthy young woman. "This woman came to me some few months ago and asked me for assistance toward helping her get a harp. Thinking her worthy, I gave her the benefit recital, and called upon my friends, who generously responded. The recital was an overwhelming success. I succeeded in raising $128.50. The expenses of $42.50 were put aside, and the balance of $140 left; I added $160, our own money to make up the $400, first money we quired on the harp in order that she might get her heart's desire, the harp.

I told her that I had been so badly deceived in girls that I did not want to take her. "She continued to come to my home, and she was going to be begged my forelady, Miss A. P. Kelley, to plead with me in her behalf until I at last decided to give her a home.

Treated Her Kindly "Had she intimated that she was dissatisfied I would have willingly let her go and would have consented to let her have the harp. The only thing I would have done was to have been released from the bond. She had no reason whatever for this action, as I never gave her a cross word the whole time she was here. "I am-making this public statement simply for the benefit of the friends who have taken her in, as I do not want to be as others were to me—wait until the worst has happened and then say, 'I could have told you this.' Now I want to say, and this is final, that I am through helping so-called people. There isn't a day that I am not besieged by people for help, either by letters or person, and near as I could I have tried to help or reach them in some way. In the future all appeals will be turned down and consigned to the waste basket. "I am, yours respectfully. "MME. C. J. WALKER."

He said: "You go out from here with the mark on you 'A Hampton Graduate'. I do not need, I think, to elaborate the advantages that you have in that honor and privilege. It classifies you. It shows that you have passed through a mold that is expected by the country. You know that whom you meet to have developed strength, character, and the Hampton spirit of self-sacrifice. "You owe it to yourself to be worthy of that reputation that you will have ascribed to you. You owe it to your race, for you go out as a Hampton graduate, and if you fail for lack of character, tenacity of purpose, or in wisdom, you injure your race, because there are those narrow-minded people who will seize upon such a fire as a vindication of their view of the world. If, in further, to preserve that reputation, the founder and supporters of Hampton, to General Armstrong and to Dr. Frissell. "You must appreciate the intense interest and intense sympathy that the best people of the North and South have for you and your success. You must realize that if you fail you are making yourselves not worthy of that intense interest and support that they are giving." Hampton Graduating Class The candidates for certificates were distributed as follows: Agriculture, 14; blacksmithing, 3; bricklaying, 8; business, 1; cabinetmaking, 3; carpentry, 12; machine work, 4; printing, 2; shoemaking, 3; steamfitting, 4; tailoring, 8; upholstering, 1; whelwrighting, 2; total, 66.

Henry, Cambridge, Mass. who for many years has been a Hampton trustee, awarded, on behalf of the Negro Organization Society, several prizes in gold to women of Elizabeth City City, Va., whose homes showed the greatest progress along the line of clean-up. These prizes were made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Alexander Purves of *Hampton Institute*, whose homes led the late Robert C. Oden. A special prize was also offered by Mrs. Frank W. Darling of Hampton, Va., a former Hampton Institute worker. Making Onlone Palatable Many people have trouble in eating raw onions, because they leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth or do not digest easily. This may be entirely overcome if they are sliced in thin slices crosswise, boiling water poured over, and drained. Repeat with cold water, and then add pepper, salt and vinegar. This does not spoil the onion's crispness or flavor. CLUB EDITORS Kindly send to the Chicago Defender the names and addresses of the president and secretary of your club with your next report.

The attention of the various women's clubs is called to the disgusting habit of certain women and young girls wearing boudler caps and big aprons on the streets. The cap, although it was at times "hides a multitude of faults", was never intended for use on the public highways and the beaches, aprons, made to fit the form and worn, as a rule, without petticoats, are indecent. With the coming of the summertime the streets will be full of these silly women who, if they do not know, should be taught the common rules of decency. If they think that they look cute they are very much mistaken, and there should be a law prohibiting their use on the streets, just the same as the one that forbids the careless female from wearing a "Mother Hubbard" on the street.

The show here the first half is a good one and is opened by the Ross brothers, midget athletes, who give an excellent exhibition of boxing and stunts carried on around a fighter's training camp.

The team of Bunie and Lampard were a wild hit, and they applaud the show right off the reel. The program closed with the Arcadia Six, a sextetto of cracker-lack society dancers. The last half last week held over Madam Gertrude, the wonderful sorceress, who gave a special matrice for ladies only on Friday, and who mystified many large audiences during the show.

McGray and Brown, a clever team of young ladies, open the bill here, and their work is good. Eleanor Wilson was in good voice, and rendered several" popular numbers in great style. Butter and Johnson, that great singing, talking and dancing team, were a hit, especially the chassis dances of Miss Johnson. This team is one of the best costumed acts ever seen here. Glenn and Bregdale, a real team of black face connelans, were a riot, and closed an extremely well balanced bill. The Pekin.

Here With the Troup — Singers · Have Big Success in the West. After an absence of nearly eight months Mr. George Garner and the Hann Concert Company returned home today. Their concert tour has embraced all of the principal cities in the west, both south and north, and the city of Chicago has been one of this exceptional organization. Mr. Gardner, the tenor who needs no introductions to Chicago or readers of the Defender, as he is a native son, has met with tremendous success with his marvelous voice and wonderful singing. His ability as an exponent of the Shkinkspearean classics and the works of our lamented poet, Paul Laurenco Dunbar, have won for him an award as a national reader. As a singer Mr. Garner is internationally famous. The Hann Concert Company are the most versatile set of artists on the concert platform today. Mr. Hann has a remarkable bass voice which he uses in a fine manner. His singing here is remembered when he appeared with the Umbrians last spring, and when he assisted Mr. Garner in his concert last September just prior to their departure for their extended trans-continental tour. Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, the talented soprano of the organization, who is booked as "the voice of the orchestra," coloratura singer of her mean ability and her work throughout the season has spoken for itself. During the tour the company visited Mme. Talbert's home in Los Angeles and were delightfully entertained at a large reception given by her parents. Mme. Talbert's husband, Prof. Wendell P. Talbert, the pianist and cellist of this company, has traveled for the past ten years doing concert work and his work is commendable in that he can transpose at sight the most difficult music. His training was received at the Conservatory. Miss Maynay Morrison, the company, has been a great success her wonderful singing. At each appearance of these singers Miss Morrison's voice, her beautiful contrast, has been praised to the very highest. It will be remembered that Miss Morrison took many of the contrata solo parts with the Choral Study Club under the direction of Pedro Tinsley, Mr. W. Howard Berry of Kansas City, the second tenor with the Hamm Company, is a singer who always makes good on the platform and never falls to the barbers. Mme. Hamm, the wife of Mr. Hamm and mezzo soprano comes in for her sham and chorus and was a big hit in her work and ing greatly in supporting the chorus work of this splendid organization who are so fortunate in having our George Garner with them. The company will take a much need ed rest, after which they will return to the platform for their chautauqua season in June. HARRY BURLEIGH AND ROLAND HAYS AT FISK CONCERT "Elijah" Rendered in Beautiful Manner by Mozart Society Before Large Audience—Proof. Work, Director. (By a Special Correspondent.) Nashville, Tennessee, May 7—The Mozart Society rendered its seventy-third concert in Nashville, the building being well fitted with a representative Nashville audience of music lovers, who were thoroughly pleased with the entrance. So the Mozart Society white people, mostly from the various educational institutions, were present. Mozart's department scored one of its greatest renditions by the society, and the music department scored one of its greatest performances by the successful rendition of the composition. In Harry T. Burleigh of New York and the University of Hayes of Boston the large audience wished two hours of hearing two of the most renowned soloists in the entire country. Their every performance, both live and in plumes, and both lived up to the reputation which they have deservedly earned from Professor J. W. Work of Fisk, one of the foremost music composers and singers of the race, directed the concert, and there was a great demand for the following Fisk singers: Martin Jones, face and face and Ezzelle Meek, soprans; Mrs. J. W. Work and Olive M. Cowan, central to the program lasted nearly three hours the audience seemed not to tire in the least, every listener being so thoroughly engaged in the singing.

Many were forced to appeal to charitable organizations to keep the wolf from the door. Today the sun is shining on both sides of the street, contractors are calling for workmen and in some instances the wage paid is far in excess of what the workman is really worth, for when -once a member of a union, regardless of your ability, you demand and _Feezive the same compensation for your work that a better workman does. That’ is the advantage in belonging to such organizations. It is difficult for the average person to sce the logic in calling a strike at the present time, all for the matter of a wage increase of a few cents, when workmen have so.long been idle, and when the: sed money s0 badly. “Yet a few hot-headed leaders have #7, decreed and the poor man with perhaps a large family to stppore must bow to the inevitable.

There are ; where capital grinds to earth the laborer, and still ses where a a . ce ter the laborer receives liberal compensation. It is to vt thie class that some measures should be taken to discrim- .e between the wheat and chaff. This lack of discrimination has t the unions ‘in bad repute many times unnecessarily, and, too, the ions are just beginning to realize they cannot fight the battle suc- essfully without enlisting the aid of the colored workmen, whom they have képt out of their organizations purely through prejudice until the cflored man receiving no favors at their hands felt per- fectly justffed in siding with the employers who gave them a living nor cir, {lity be blamed for so doing. There is every reason why the colored man should be taken into the unions: He forms a large per cent of oar working class, is efficent and reliable. In the South he has been given a chance and made good. Why not give him the sarn ‘opportunity in the North? Whenever a union shuts the door in the face of a colored workman they are giving the enemy just that muck more ammunition to fight with. How long will they sleep with th light in their eyes?

It isn't exactly like trying to see through a stone wall to discover the little joker in this new proposed legislation. It has been heralded and drilled into people so long that colored ten- ants depreciate property value’ that even the liberal northerner is be- ginning to believe it, as is evidenced right here in Chicago today, where the purchasér of a home in a so-called exchisive neighborhood is having serious difficulty in getting possession owing to the antipathy of the neighbors. All of this comes not because these said neighbor: have had bitter experiences with colored people, but because they have been misled by prejudiced newspapers and people. It isn’t reasonable to suppose that a man, white or black, who invests his money in a piece of property is going to let it run down; it isn’t goo business policy. Dollars are too hard, especially for the colored man to get. As to renters, they are all alike. They are here today anc gone tomorrow. ‘They care little how much damage they do to th property; it costs them nothing for repairs. The white man forget that the average white tenant depreciates property fully as much a the average colored tenant. Prejudice prevent3*them from seein, this, but it is true.’ South Carolina may put their bill over. Nothin; is impossible in that section of the country, but they will not be fool ing anybody but themselves, as time undoubtedly will show. DISTANCE LENDS ENCHANTMENT. THE STATE DEPARTMENT AT WASHINGTON tele- graphed the American consul at Warsaw to report fully to the de- partment concerning the present situation of the Jews in Poland. ‘This action was taken in response to request made by the Jewish Daily Warheit, which claimed that the Jews in Poland have suffered persecution at the hands of the Russians during the present war. There is little doubt but that the Jews.are having a very hard time of it, both in Poland and in Russia,'too. In times of peace it is bad enoygh, and now since these cotintries are in such a turmoil it must be unbearabie, We sympathize heartily with these down-trodden people and assure them that our government will do all in its powes to relieve them. We are not speaking from personal experience. It would be too discouraging, as we get what we expect'from this gov- ‘etnment—little—but we have observed how Jong they are on making ‘a grandstand play, especially about anythicg that has a foreign aspect. So, we repeat; oun Jewish friends can t4 hope. “Uncle Sam, if he Ine Gootal will-at least investiga Be Wii LYK, SAX : PT Ip SS SW QA AWW A a LN hy) Yay | Wak = A Ba i fe MOH, AWE i Be ae | i ar Al i f | a a) |e || es ® ANN ZB bt | | mie Ce) ne Ge A Aes, .

MR. BARNES AND MR. ROOSEVELT. ‘THE KING CAN DO NO WRONG, but an ex-president can, according to Mr. Barnes, who is just now sting Colonel Roosevelt for slander. Fifty thousand dollars is the pittance asked to smooth his ruffled feathers, but Teddy*is so ungrateful or rather stubborn, he will fight to the last ditch before parting with his hard-earned (7) shekels, and besides he only said—in part: “The interests of Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy are fundamentally identical, and when the issue between popular and cérrupt machine rule government is clearly drawn the two bosses will always be found fighting on the same side, openly or covertly, giving one another such support as can with safety be rendered. . . . They really form the all-powerful invisible government which is responsible for the mal-administration and corruption in the public offices of the state.” New Yorkers should be especially interested,in the outcome of this suit. No matter which side wins or loses, a great many things will come to light that will aid the voter in coming elections to cast his ballot for men who at least have the semblance of being servants of the people instead ‘of being their masters. To have one of Mr. Roosevelt’s talent dis- close to the uninitiated the inner workings of the political ring is really helpful because the accuracy of assertions made in a lawsuit is "immediately tested, and facts are established that have a definite and visible basis, New York may be misgoverned, but if there is any consolation in the thought that there are other states in the same plight, we hasten to assure her this is true.
