Special to The Chicago Defender. Madison, Wis., May 21.—The sustaining of the governor's yeto by the assembly on Friday was even more of a victory than appears on the surface. Taking advantage of the general feeling among members against the tipping habit, opponents of the administration hoped to be able to give the administration a bump, instead they not get the bump, as not only did they not get the bump, as two-thirds vote required to pass a bill over the governor's head but there was a majority of two votes against the passage. Finding their game was blocked, the opponents of the administration became ugly and insinuated that mem- Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY bers who should vote differently than they did when the bill was up before would show they had been "tampered" with. This insinuation was hotly resented. In spite of all their efforts, however, the bill was refused passage 37 to 39. Assemblym Minkley, who was one of those who were free with charges that members had been "tampered" with, at the afternoon session of the assembly made the amende honorable and tendered an apology for his words.

Sachs, Head of the Municipal Tuberculosis Hospital, Refuses to Draw Color Line in Public Institution—Dissatisfied White Patients Told to Leave. MANLY ACTION IS LAUDED Appeal Is Made to Mayor Thompson by Protestants Who Promptly Declares That He Will Not Allow Any Discrimination in the City Institutions. Six weeks ago the Chicago Tuberculosis Hospital was opened to the public by former Mayor Carter H. Harrison. Dr. Theodore B. Sachs, the widely known expert on diseases of the lungs, was placed in charge. The institution is maintained by the city of Chicago and is designed to check the ravages of the great white plague. There was a right of applicants for admission and it soon became evident that within a very brief period the institution would be taxed to the limit. For the first few days everything was eminently satisfactory, the surroundings were all that could be desired, the equipment perfect—and the patients were not merely satisfied, they were delighted. The menu, too, was excellent the meat of the finest quality, eggs, milk, butter, etc, fresh and wholesome—in fact, the place was an elysium. Dr. Coon Talks Plain English. S soon after the opening of the hospital trouble growing out of the ever present race question arose. This, it is alleged, was due to the adoption of a rule by the management, under which Afro-Americans were placed in the same cottages with white patients. It is stated that in some of these cottages, capable of being treated, many as ten Afro-Americans, have been installed, the remainder being whites. The introduction of this rule first became apparent one afternoon about three weeks ago. A number of white women patients were sitting on the porch of cottage No. 9 when three Afro-American women stepped out and took seats among them. Inquiry of the authorities declared that the that Afro-American woman had been mates of the cottage. A protest was made to Dr. Coon of the medical staff, but the doctor told the protestants that if they did not like their treatment they could leave. Mayor Sets Matter Straight. This brought the question to an issue. Mayor Thompson was sought with a view to having his honor direct that the patients be segregated with the to colony. He characterized frankness told the protestants that he would tolerate no discrimination in any department of the city's institutions as long as he was chief executive. Dr. Sachs, head of the institution, replying to protests regarding Afro-American and white patients being placed in same cottages, said that the municipal tuberculosis sanitarium would not be tolerated as long as he was in control of the institution.

Editor The Defender: I wish to urge our people everywhere to "take time by the forelock" and adopt in advance such measures as will prevent the production of the photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," in any community, North or South. It will be a serious and grave mistake to wait until the pictures are actually being exhibited in these cities and then attempt to close them up. The weakness of this plan has been clearly demonstrated in New York and Boston. Another and more important reason for taking preventive measures is that once the play has been put on in a city, the managers encourage, and even skillfully initiate opposition, on account of the advertising the play receives when attempts are made to stop it. The people in Chicago are acting very wisely in forestalling its appearance; and this is the policy which it would be well for every community to pursue. In each town where there is a possibility of this play being put on, it would be well to have a committee of citizens representing the churches, the schools, and the business men take the initiative in lodging a suitable objection. The play is fundamentally wrong in that it attempts to deal with the development of America since the abolition of slavery by ignoring the substantial progress of the Negro race and emphasizing the cruel misunderstandings of the readjustment period, in which unfortunate individuals of both races figured. No matter how many other artistic and historic features the play may have, its ultimate result will be to intensify race prejudice and thereby do great and lasting harm to both races. BOOKER T.

(Special to the Chicago Defender.) New York City, May 21.—The nation's metropolis was aame yesterday from Harlem to Brooklyn and from the precincts of San Juan Hill to the middle downtown district with the spirit of better living opportunity and a keen sense of civic right-ousness for all classes of our people, fanned by thousands of wholesome addresses by Dr. Booker T.

The total number of people day was in excess of 10,000, and through them the entire 100,000 colored citizens of Greater New York were reached in one way or another. Each auditorium to which meetings were assigned was packed to its utmost capacity, and many were turned away.

Springfield, Ohio, City 31.—Great credit is due Dr. S. Ray Vaughn and David Wilburn for "The Nigger," being stopped at the Majestic Theater. This is one of Tom Dixon's plays in the class of "The Clansman," "The Birth of the Nation," built upon race prejudice and designed to injure men and women of the race.

CHICAGO DEFENDER, 3159 State Street, Chicago, Mayor Thompson Bars "Birth of Nation"from Chicago When Mayor Thompson was called upon to give his final answer it was a firm "NO." When the Mayor's Objectives, not as long as he remains in the mayor's chair, he said, will the panorama, starting with the importation of African slaves to this country, and ending with the distressing tragedy of reconstruction days in the south after the civil war, be seen at the moving palace? While the mayor would not go into a discussion of his reasons for putting up the bars in Chicago against the sensational picture drama, his close friends understand that he objects particularly to the scenes depicted in the movie Lincoln and the impression that northern statesmen and southern Negroes committed great wrongs against the south in the years immediately following the war. The film Storm Strike. The film Storm Strike film from the beginning has been one of racial bittersick and censorial squabbles. The national board of censors inspected the production and promptly had a stirring row which ended in a vote to approve the board. In Boston presentation of the film was permitted after considerable agitation, but miniature riots took place in the lobby of the Tremont building. After putting on the film at the Liberty theater in New York at $2 prices and installing it under the name of "The Chianman" in Los Angeles, the film was looked Chicagow. He applied for a permit. Mrs. Carter H. Harrison and Charles Fitzlorz, the mayor's secretary, inspected it. Mr. Fitzlorz was underlined at the Illinois to open. Then Mr. Thompson walked into the city hall. Instead of installing the show, the producers decided to ask Mr. Fitzlorz to permit "Bill Bill" to be completed at a conference room. Afro-Americans He at once announced he would inspect the film, and if there was anything which would reflect on the race he would have it cut THE STORY OF THE PICTURE. The first ship that brought a cargo of elephants to Pennsylvania started the series of troubles that arose the birth of a great nation. Abolition was subsequently unveiled, the site of the first slave market, and South Carolina south declared it would seclude, if in 1858 a Republican president elected. That election led to a 75,000 volunteers. For the first time a slave market was power to subdue the sovereignty of intolerant states. The Stoneham boys of Pennsylvania had been house guests at Fledgman, a plantation in the Cameron boys. Phill Stoneman and Margaret Cameron, "fair as a flower," were the first to be freed. Cameron had never met Elish Stoneman, yet the disguiser of her he had pilled into a house coarse-flocked like friendly young cats. A sweet thing in the world. The youngest housemate of all the Cameron clan was the youngest female Cameron's youngest daughter, Flower. It seemed to itain Stoneman, leader of Congress, and Elden's parent, that Linn was the one to prostrate South. "I shall treat them as if they had never been away" was the demand that the leaders be hanged and measures of reepital adopted. What was THE there in Stoneman's wife made him so bitter to the Southern whites? that made him a political and social equality of the Negroes, it was grooming a half-bred protege, one of his people." He was in 1865 with the enlistment of the Southern army and the surrender of Robert E. Lee to U. S. Grant. In 1866, he was sent to Court House. There follows a terrific tragedy—the assassination of President Lincoln's scene of a festival performance at Ford's Theater on April 14, 1865. The South's chief cruelty—that it has lost its best friend. We must now leave the handful of whites defending the log cabin from the Lynch, the "friend" of her father in law, the lawyer for the queen of his empire, and the queen of his empire, and orders a Negro chaplain to send for to perform a mission. Lynch's wood is received of Congressman Stoneman's return. Lynch goes out to tell the white man that the interim Michele and whites, finally, upset by the personal fact. Rage and anger there. There is but one hope anywhere in prospect—the courouge and chivalric to ride for danger to plead Stoneman. Ben Cameron, the "little colonel", is at the entrance to the army and pledge to the army or dead. He rushes the little mountain town, their guns mow down the militia troops opposing him. Ben and his men burrowing into the room, he sets fire to the building. Joel Eble in his arms. But there is another work afoot. Quickly a detachment of the militia moves in, the scene of the attack of the cabin. The militia are almost at the last gasp. The militia rulers are forcing the doors, already open, of the cabin. The scene of the cabin, with the crack! crack! crack! of the Ku Kux kites announce the attack routs the raiders completely. The militia men of the party hug and THE BIRTH OF A NATION RUNS UP AGAINST A SUB- MISSION W.M. HALE T. THOMPSON, THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO. The no-nd to trouble film, the Birth of a Nation, is a tough one man, Jon Hamm. When Tom Hamm keeps down race trouble, this moving film shows the moving pleasures made in ten years. The moving pleasures made in ten years race hate. The birth of a Nation, is a book and play that the New York Dixon book and play that the New York Dixon wrote for revenue, regardless of the cost of the book, and gave good things for the public to see such books as the Birth of a Nation, why not let the Nairobi show some spicy scenes like the Negro race in a moving picture that the age limit would not be over forty years ago. It would not be over forty years ago would make the Ku Klux Klans like scenes from the fairy story "Mid-Memphis." It would not be over forty years ago and not ended yet, such scenes as brothers forcing the love on the slave in the home in down in their own homes just for things they need being wronged in regards to the Negro race in murder, force and adultery." The best name for such movies would be years in murder, force and adultery." The best name for such books or show as "Uncle Tom's Cane," was ever written on the Negro landing at Jamestown by the Dutch. Then such scenes of a cracker with a palmetto tree with big bull whips, whipping old and young, sick and well, Let us all thank Mayer Wm. Hale Thompson for his real courageous stand against this outrageous moving picture. MRS. S. B.

Every person in the United States, ten account in a postal savings bank, July 1, according to an instructive leaflet on the Postal Savings System just issued by Postmaster General Burleson. This important extension of the postal savings bank by permitting persons living in communities so sparsely settled as not to justify the designation of their local offices as regular postal savings banks of Governor Dockery, third assistant postmaster general, who has direct supervision of postal savings, was supervised by appeals from all over the country to postal accounts by mail that he took up and task some weeks ago of working out a feasible and safe method for meeting a demand well illustrated in a letter from Saline County Missouri, who residence miles from a postal savings bank. "Having a few hundred, dollars saved from fifty years of hard and assiduous labor and skimping economy on the part of my wife and my wife, we concluded to deposit it in the Post Office, wrote to the postmaster at that place and received reply to the effect that none but patrons of that office could deposit in that office, which is very disappointing news to us. Our little farm is not large enough to support it is so high that it is impossible for us to carry little we have saved and we are so old that we can't labor much now and we would be so glad to lay by at least enough to put us away in decency." Can Withdraw by Mail. Under the plan adopted by the postmaster general for opening accounts by mail an intending depositor, residing where there is no regular post office, will apply to his local postmaster, who will see that necessary identification data is prepared and forwarded to a nearby post office authorized to deposit. The intending depositor will then forward his first and subsequent deposits by money order or registered mail direct to the postmaster at the banking point, for which receipts or payment are made. He may withdraw all or any part of his savings by mail and on demand together with any interest that may be due him. He may leaflet points out that any person ten years old or over may an account in his or her own name; that an account may be opened by a married woman free from any control or interference by her husband; that disclosure to any person are forbidden to position, the amount of any deposits that withdrawals may be made with previous notice; and that the Government guarantees to repay all deposits on demand with accrued interest. Receipts Break All Records The leaflet will soon be printed in 22 foreign languages for distribution through local post offices. The foreign language will be very useful to postal savings, and literature in his own language will be of great assistance to him. The savings receipts have broken the eight months prior to April 1 there was a net gain in deposits of $10,000,000, as against a gain of $1,500,000 for the same months the year before. The savings have been opened and the millions made up largely of hidden savings have been turned back into the chance of trade just at a time when there was a pressing demand for every dollar. MRS.

Without a doubt the Chint- ‘uy Shoe Storo presents the handsom- ‘est appearance, both Inside and out, to be seen along the Stroll, and the "Wise ld Owl” pald a personal vist to Mr. Gabriel Franchere, the proprietor, giv- ing him a hearly weleome to .our nelghborhood; In the interview Mr. Franchere,' whom we found to be the personification of geniality, made the followings statement: “In the first'place 1 wish to say that this enterprise can hardly be called a new one in this district, although In the strictest senso of the word it 1s a new one In this immediate neighbor. hood, We conducted a store success: fly for a period ;zovering over thirty consecutive years on State near ‘Twen- tysecond, and established a record of whleh f think we are justified In be- ing proud, In locating at our present slore we bring the advantages of many years of experience with us, and 1 can truthfully say that our service and stock will cover the tastes of all, It has always been our policy to carry ‘a complete line of shoes for men, women and children, at a scale of prices that can be favorably compared with the prices of the shoe stores in the loop, and a great many of tlie bar- gains obtainable at our store could never be duplicated downtown at any- where near our prices, We carry sev- eral of tho standard lines at thelr regular prices, in addition to a com- plete line of stock shoos which gives the greatest latitude in purchasing prices. Our object, in fact, is to make it possible to get any grade or any priced shoe right in our distriet, mak- fng it unnecessary to go to the loop for them, I am sure that the people of the district will readily see the ad: vantages offered, and the patronage so far lias surpassed all our expecta- tions." Now, the above sounds lke a good, clean-cut statement, and after a close Inspection of tho Chiniquy Shoe Store we are convinced that everything that Mr. Franchere sald was thoroughly Justitled, Our advice—which we wish to impress strongly—is to stop in and Took at the handsome lines of foot: wear carried here, and if you do we ‘are sure Uiat your opinion will coin: elde with ours. Mr. Franchere keeps his handsome display windows lighted uuntit Inte at night, the handsome sam- ples shown in them are but a small part of what ean be seen on the In- Bide, and they are always “happy to show their stock, whether you buy or not.

Widely Known Grocer Passes Away After Short, IlIness—Funeral Serv. ices Friday—Many View Remains at Santly Reskiends. ‘Mr, Joseph Henry Wallace for 32 yenra proprietor of a grocery at 2200 State street, died at hia residence, next door, on Monday night, after an MMiness of only two hours. He worked fn his store to the usual hour, and then went home, When he was taken suddenly Ml, Dr. D. B, Burrows, a neighboring physician, waa™ hastily summoned, but hls elforts were of no avall, ‘The deceased was 60 years old, The body lay In state at is home from Wednesday untit Friday, and was viewed by hundreds of neighbors and friends. Funeral services were held Friday at Oakwoods cemetery ‘chapel. ‘Tho deceased was one of the most widely know men on the south side. His sterssituated right in the center of the residence distelet, the popular grocer drew a large paironage trom Doth east and: west of Stato strect, that continued with him until bis oath. ‘The deceased was born In this city April 9, 1865. His father serv- ed In the 18th Iillnols Volunteers dur Ing the civil war. When he was two years and six months old his mother led and is father lett for the war, Jeaving him an orphan, He was adopted by a family named Robinson of Barrington, Mil, When he came t Chicago he was about 19 years old. Ho reslded with ia uncle, one of the early members of the pollee force. He wwas,a edrponter by trade and worked at samo for many years, He. thet took a position as a grocery clerk ané driver for H, P, Hopkins, near 3st and Indians avenue. Ho Was married at 28 to Miss Mary Hora. ‘Three chil dren was the result of the unfon They ‘are Ernest LeRoy, Grace A and JohnH Wallace, He fg survived by hie widow and two sons, one being a graduate of the Armour’ ‘Technical Tnstltute and John H., who 1s now conducting the business, Ho took up his residence In the cottage next to his store in 1884, and Fesided there until his death. Ho was the {dol of. the neighbor hood and a favorite with tho cbildren ‘He was ever ready to help th needy, ‘but his giving was without fostenta- tions i <Use La Belle Balm for Headiche.- Re a eee oe the merchants of this district, cover- ing every line, one of the most -Im- portant from an economic viewpoint Js fish, ‘There is probably more fish consumed in what is known as the “Belt” than in any corresponding res- idential district in the universe. ‘The people are datly. awakening to the fact that fish must play an important part among the foodstuffs used by them. ‘Thero Is such a wide latitude possible in purchasing fish that a fish market ‘can always be depended upon to give the maxhinum food value for whatever ‘money is expended. ‘The “Wise Old Owl” has made a thorough Investigation of the condi- tions existing at the numerous fish markets doing business in the district, and hag uncovered some remarkable conditions in reference to the differ- ences In prices and qualities to be found at different markets. Some of them seemed to have a sliding scale to, sult the appearances of the difter- ent customers, while othets were op- erated In such unsanitary conditions that it seemed remarkable that they had any patronage at all. In pursuance of our policy to rec- ‘ommen.’ the better class of places and dealers to our many readers we wish to mention a chain of fish markets that is being operated under the name of Tho Mississippl Fish and Oyster Company. We found at these stores a degree of cleanliness “seldom en- countered in places handling this class of foodstuffs, and the stocks found on our several visits were uniformly of a high grade. The “Wise Old Ow!” made a trp to the large warehouse eontrolied by the company and inter viewed the president and general man- ager. Among other things this. fs What he had lo say: “Lam glad to be able to explain to you direct the manner in which we operate the several stores controlled by us, First I wish to say that we united for the express purpose of re- ducing the price of fish in the district covered by us, and not to force any of the other dealers out, as lias been re- ported by some of them. It is reason- able to expect that a concern handling thousands of pounds of fish each week can have a wider latitude in the selec: tion of the stock as well as being able to retall cheaper than those wito Duy on a smaller plan, Therefore the Hines of fish earried by us can always be depended upon as being absolutely the freshest and of the highdst grade that the market affords, Without 2 doubt the hotels, restaurants and pi vate families that are being supplied by us are getting more quality and ‘more quantity for the money expended than at any time in the memory of tho oldest inhabitant, Our intention and purpose is to have the Mississippi Fish and Oyster Company's stores be rec ‘ognized as the proper places to patron ze for those who want first-class fish sold under sanitary conditions at prices that defy competition. Our stores are successtub simply for these Feasons: ‘The patrons can always de- pend upon the quality of the fish that they get from us, and the cleantiness of the entire chain of five stores can't help appealing to those who believe {in cleantiness in the handling of thelr foodstuffs.” The Mississippl Fish and Oyster Company's five stores are located so that one of them is easily accessible to any of the homes in the entire dis. trict, and are located as follows: 290 State street, formerly Berman's, estab. Ushed over thirty years ago; 2017 State street, operated by Barney Ber- man, director and secretary (Mr. Ber- man is a native son of Chicago, having been born in the neighborhood); 3422 State street, 44 West Thirty-ninth street, near Dearborn, and 228 East ‘Thirty-fitth street, near Calumet ave- nue, which has just been opened.

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. JIM CROW JAIL MUST NOT EXIST IN CHICAGO People of This Fair City Must See That This Stigma Is Removed —Tax Payers Pay for All Alike —Criminals Should be Shown No Distinction. STOP THE SEGREGATION Now Is the Time to Right These Wrongs—Parks Are Free to All; Why Not Jails—No Law for This Insult—Protest Hard and Strong. Investigation shows that discrimination exists in our county jails. Jails and prisons should be designated where men should be discriminated against on account of color; yet this is true of the jails of our fair city. If one takes the time to make observation he will see white men sent to one section of the jail and race men for the other. Never was a jail built for aristocrats, but 'this seems to be true of Chicago. Think of it, in a city that boasts of foul and equalism, then for them to allow a failer to use such high handed methods of drawing the "color line." Pay Taxes for All Alike. The citizens of Chicago pay taxes for all criminals to be treated alike. Crime has no color. There should be no good punishment or bad punishment at our jails. The law requires that each man should be fed and kept without favor, but this is not true under Jailer J. Davis. Is it必然 that Shannon will point a man who will allow such to be carried on under his sanction? Parks of the city are free to all there is no discrimination and there should be none in our jails. There is no law for this insult. Now is the time to eradicate this evil. Protest hard and strong and its effects will be forthcoming. Chicago must and will set a pace to put an end to discrimination not only at theaters and all public places, but at the jails. Let our bar association take the lead in this protest, the citizens will follow. PHALANX CLUB 'TO GIVE CONCERT AT WABASH "Y." Phalanx Club presents the program and Hon. George W.

The Lincoln Jubilee and the National Half-Century Anniversary Exposition will commemorate in a fitting manner the most triumphant step in the history of modern free democracy and democracy. This celebration will be held in the city of Chicago, Illinois, August, 22 to September 16, 1915, and will be housed in the Coliseum. It is peculiarly fitting that the State of Illinois—the state that gave Lincoln and Grand and Douglas to the world should lead the celebration of this epoch-making event and be the host of the entire union. This expedition will bring together the positive proofs of the achievements of the American Negro in the realm of Art, Science, Religion, Literature, Music, Commerce and Industry from 1865 to 1915. Every agency which interprets the actual life of the Negro will be utilized, and the real fundaments of the life of the made his progress possible will be brought out. Twelve distinct departments have been created, namely; Religion, Education, Industry, Social Progress, Music, Sociology, Military, Liberal Arts, Professional, Fraternal, Athletics and Miscellaneous. The Department of Religion will express the religious growth of the Negro mind from the crude emotionalism to a clear and definite-conception of religion, in terms of man's duty to man and to his God. Here we present modern church structures in which the Negro now worships, in contrast with the rustic specimens of buildings of antebellum days. The Department of Education will illustrate in many ways the intellectual advancement of the Negro. Every phase of modern school room work will be exhibited. In this branch of endeavor the most remarkable transformation has taken place, resulting in the wiping out of 70 per cent of litteracy and the winning of permanent recognition in the varied forms of the highest mankind endeavor. The Department of Industry will cover every range of activity in which the Negro is engaged as a laborer, from tilling the soil and the production of food and foodstuffs to the highest industrial pursuits, embracing Carpentry, Masonry, Mining, Manufacturing, Forestry, and many other allied activities. The Professional Department will demonstrate the ability of the Negro in Law, Medicine, Surgery, Dentis Nursing, etc. The Department of Social Progress will portray the finer forms of life and thought. The Department of Military and Naval Affairs will show the promiscuous part the Negro has played on land and sea in defense of American institutions in all the leading American wars. AUTHORS AND BOOKS Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. By D. W. Johnson. "JUDGE LYNGH'S COURT IN AMERICA" is a volume of 166 pages bound in paper, cloth and the best fancy finish, prices respectively, $1.00, and the author is Rev. Elijah Clarence. Schwartz street, Houston, Texas While the book is a record of the lynchings, convictions and other injustices-perpetrated upon the Negro race of America, Rev. Branch also makes a plea to the mothers and fathers in their homes and to the pulpits and schools to devote more of their race by beginning to mourn the race by beginning to dren while they are young and susceptible to the teachings of the higher and more elevating things in life. The main facts recorded are extracts from the leading newspapers and magazines and statistics gathered from the reports of penal institutions and commissions. It may not be easy for Negroes in the northern sections' or the country to wholly agree with the white race in ideas and points of view on the social questions. While Negroes of the north do not seek nor do they want any social connection or intimacy with the white race, they have a clear conception of the distinction between social rights and civil rights. Unfortunately for the white people of the south and many in the north, they are unable to distinguish between the white race to be regretted that Rev. Branch in the book may apparently be befogged in a similar manner to the right to participate in politics, which is mainly in political fraternity, no liberal minded man of this enlightened age can justly deny any man or group of men the right to protect their civil and political rights. Rev. Branch covers a wide field of topics, such as: morals, religion, politics, lynch law, sports, loan sharks and convict statistics.

PROCTOR WOMEN AND CHARACTER The progressive business women of today are refusing to submit to or recognize the traditional gender roles of aggressive workers in all social reforms. The liquor interests throughout the United States show their fear of the potential for the government to use efforts they make to keep from them rights of suffrage. With the proper operation of the national lines, women will be developed who will make an improved type of motherhood which cannot but benefit the environment. They will come through the influence of the best class of women is inestimable, and they should be encouraged and appreciated, and they will be one of all who come in contact with them. There are no people more in need of having their attention called to realization than our own people. We must develop young women capable of inspiring young men, and young men who are worthy to seek and appreciate it. We must put our girls on a pedestal when they fail we must sympathize with them and come to their rescue. We must have them, and we have, have no matter how wealthy or poor they may be, and be the last to sully our girls and women, and our girls must at least keep other races thinking well of our girls and women, and our girls must be brave and brave! Character is a sacred thing and that our girls are worth developing and protecting with and protecting. Let him that without all among you cast the first stone.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS CHARLES REESE AND OTHER YOUNG MENTAKE TO GOLF The Pastime of Presidents Latest Game to Get a Hold on Young Men—Jackson Park Mecca—Players Attract Attention by Skillful Putting. Some people never can be headed. No matter what game they invent, our people come right along and excel them. Take the 4 a. m. Illinois Conference, and you'll find a score with their bags. Charles Reese, the singer, is one of the latest enthusiasts. One or two of the boys have finished the course within one of the record time, and in so doing have caused much comment as well as applause from the gallery. By the gallery we mean the crowd of people that follows the play and players. "Golf is something like olives," said Charley Rees when interviewed. "It's simply merely getting started, then it gets hold of you and is lasting. Anyway, who ever heard of a person liking olives at first? No truthful person after eating his first olive dared say he enjoyed it. No more can one become enthusiastic over golf before he has made a good drive, then half soak into space, and has experienced the tee shot. After that the flend for olives has nothing on the golf field. They are all square, with many holes to play." Those who cannot master the art of putting at first—especially the fine art of putting with any degree of consistency—should take consolation from this statement by Francis Ouimet, the national champion: "Yes, there was a time when I was the worst putter in my home state. I remember distinctly four years ago when the hardest courses around Boston. I had bobe I played ever played golf from tee to green. I had a round of $6, but 50 of the strokes were putts. "I made up my mind then and there that unless I changed my putting style I would never amount to much as a golfer. It took me months, but eventually I learned the style of having my wrist dead, with my arms well away from my body."

Hills' Great Catch and Foster's Base. Stealing Features of Game—North Siders' Determined Effort in Eighth Falls Short. The American Giants added another to their already long string of victories when they won from the Gunners Sunday to 2, not understanding that the weather man handed us some weather that seemed more suitable for football than baseball. Rube pitched the first six innings himself, and the Gunthers copped a run in the first. The Gliants won the game in the fourth when the fireworks exploded—four hits, a base on balls, a misuse by Sullivan netted three runs, and a wild pitch signed by the Gunthers, settled down. The visitors got busy in the sixth, and Foster gave way to Valt尔 Ball. They again became troublesome in their half of the eight inning, getting a run across, but that was all. Weisner, their shortstop, was spiked in the fourth and retired in favor of Stock. Hill in center and two stolen bases by the mighty Rube himself were the features of the game. The score: American Giants. R. H. P.O. A. E.

CHRISTOPHER'S WIN OPENING GAME Weather Threatening and Crowd Slim, but Red and Black Machine in Good Condition Beats Marquette Baptists. FIRST GAME IN LEAGUE. Goes to Boys of St. Thomas' Sunday School—Wilson and Peoples Twiirt—Much Credit Due to Rev. Shelton H. Bishop. They were there, and they made it known—the new red and black machine in their natty new uniforms, St. Christopher's. And who'd a thought it—25 to 5. Never dreamed of such a machine as an actual fact. No wonder the Rev. H. Bishop wears a smile. Saturday at the Marquette Road Baptists 25 to 5. Wilson was on the mound for the red and black machine and gave the visitors a run in the mound when he wished a fly with a man on a horse along fine, the boys running up seventeen runs by the end of the sixth. In this frame the visitors gathered in four runs off some clean hitting and a little clever base running, but that is as far as they got. Mr. Bishop sent them to the game, and the red and black team gathered runs. Claree Lee gathered at run and the feature of the game was his play on a nasty liner which he succeeded in knocking down and retiring his man at first.

A few disgruntled legislators are trying to have a segregation bill passed, in the face of the fact that it is unconstitutional. The mayor of Nashville gave out the following interview concerning it: "About twelve months ago the city commission had the city attorney render an opinion on the question. Mr. Ewing declared at that time that, in his opinion, such a bill would be unconstitutional, whether passed by the commission or the state legislature. That opinion was accepted by the commission and no further action was taken on the matter. For the five years that I have been mayor of Nashville it has always been my endeavor to have the races in this city live together in peace and to work harmoniously. I have been opposed to raising any question which might cause race antagonism, and I am opposed to any such move now. In the election for the present legislature a delegation from the Negro Board of Trade called on me and asked if the ticket I supported would favor this segregation bill if elected. I told them I was opposed to such legislation, and that if it came before the legislature I would make known that opposition. I have never gone back on a promise, and I intend to carry out this one. I am opposed to this bill in every way and will do what I can to fight it." The citizens of Nashville have reason to feel proud of Mayor Howse. He has the courage of his convictions and is not dominated by any racial feeling. He is a mayor of all the people and during his tenure in office proposes to be honest and fair in all his dealings. What a blessing it would be if there were more men of Mayor Howse's type holding influential positions. It is to be hoped the bill will be killed in committee before it ever sees the light of day. PAYING FOR MOB RULE WITH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT the circuit court in awarding $2,000 ea on Canty against Clarendon county who was arrested last February on a charge of the constable a "mob" of cie the constable and shot him to death court is in part: "By section 6 and the statutes enacted thereunder make a law that would at least ain anching in the state.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT affirmed the judgment of the circuit court in awarding $2,000 exemplary damages to Madison Canley against Clarendon county for the lynching of his son, who was arrested last February on a slight charge, and while in charge of the constable a "mob" of eight or ten men took him from the constable and shot him to death. The opinion of the supreme court is in part: "By section 6 and article 6 of the constitution and the statutes enacted thereunder the lawmakers undertook to make a law which would at least aid in preventing the crime of lynching in the state. The constitution provides that, in case a prisoner lawfully in custody of an officer, is taken from his custody, through the negligence, permission or connivance, by mob or other unlawful assemblage of persons, and, at their hands, suffers bodily violence or death, the officer shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and provides for his prosecution, and suitable penalties on conviction." The same section provides that, in all cases of lynching, when death ensues, the county where such lynching takes place shall be liable to the legal representatives of the person lynched in exemplary damages of not less than $2,000. While it is encouraging to note justice such as it is" was meted out, the amount of damages awarded was the least that could possibly be given under the law, showing conclusively how hard it is to get fair treatment in the courts of the South. However, this case settled as it was will tend to act as a check on such lawlessness, and officers of the law will be a little bit more careful in protecting prisoners under their charge.

They are awakening to the fact that without a compulsory law thousands of parents would allow their children to grow up in ignorance, no matter how good school facilities might be. The greatest curse to any state is illiteracy, and in every campaign undertaken for the moral, mental and material uplift of our people it is the obstacle which is most difficult to overcome. It is a block to progress, it deadens the comprehension and it breeds sloth and crime. The blot of illiteracy is the boldest and blackest upon the shields of the Southern states, and the vigorous agitation now going on against prevailing ignorance on the part of thousands of as well as blacks will reduce the percentage of illiteracy CHICAGO DEFENDER WORK FOR THE WORKMAN. MANS DECLARE there is less friction than in any other Southern state. Theuses: First, the work of the race team years, have stressed the stress on the desire of the white man to go who wants work.

Arkansas is be brought out of chaos by using gog every man an equal chance to earn citizens is deprived of this God-given and abetted, there is bound to be a ARKANSANS DECLARE there is less friction between the races there than in any other Southern state. This condition is due to two causes: First, the work of the race teachers and ministers, who, for years, have stressed the respectability of honest labor, and, second, the desire of the white man to give work to the colored man who wants work. A willingness on the part of the one to work coupled with a willingness on the part of the other to give employment seemingly has solved the major portion of the so-called race problem in that state. The opportunity to work is the one great thing lacking in the North. Only certain menial positions are open, with here and there an exception. The South offers employment along many lines and while some unions bar the colored man from membership, they do not interfere with them working independently. Many of their finest buildings are erected by colored workmen. The railroads give employment to engineers, firemen and dozens of other positions are open to them. So much for a section of the country where oppression seems the keenest. It is a rare occurrence to see one of our workmen laying brick, plastering, carpeting or assisting with the iron work in one of our skyscrapers, a condition that is due perhaps to the fact that we comparatively few who know the different trades, and perhaps to the antipathy of the unions. Arkansas is demonstrating that order can be brought out of chaos by using good sound judgment and giving every man an equal chance to earn a living. When one class of citizens is deprived of this God-given opportunity and another aided and abetted, there is bound to be a clash, and it is justifiable. WHAT JAPAN WANTS.

JUST HOW MANY MILLIONS China has in her domain no man knows. Japan is quite sure of one thing, and that is there are enough able bodied men in China to form an army—when properly trained—that could wipe out every white military organization on the face of the globe. Japan realizes this and also realizes that it is up to her to try to corral this vast horde under her wing. She aims to put her officers at the head of affairs military in China and by that means worm her way into the very heart of the people. If she can but do this and make them see that it is to their interest to squash the whole world that they might rule, she will have accomplished her end. As blood is thicker than water this is not an impossible task. Japan has no particular love for other nations and especially for the United States, and it would take but the drop of the hat to make her go to war with us. This is conceded by all who have given the matter any serious thought. In such an event the wonder is whether England would be compelled to assist her or not, and what part would the other Allies play? Every trump card is being played by the Powers to get us mixed up in the present squabble, but luckily so far we have kept out of it. Suppose our dignity has been trampled on, which is questionable, arbitration sounds a great deal better than funeral marches if even for only a few of our native sons. We have a daily example of the saying, "War is hell," so why plunge into it? President Wilson may be criticised by a few hot heads, but wiser heads believe he is pursuing the right course and will uphold him in his policy of playing safe. KILLING A FILM.

Let us be good citizens and trust the good people of Chicago. AFTER FOUR YEARS—MAYBE—"The Birth of a Nation" may have a Chicago appearance. Mayor Thompson has spoken and voiced the sentiments of every law-abiding and peace-loving citizen in this big city. "Whatever power there is in the mayor's office," he said, "will be used to stop this film or any other films that reflect on any race or nationality. I won't grant my permission for the production of a picture just to give a theatrical man a chance to get $2 a seat. Race riots were caused by this picture in the East. We want nothing of the sort in Chicago." One need not read between the lines to find the meaning in this statement. Mayor Thompson's stand in this matter but intensifies the good feeling the race already has for him. In every instance he has shown himself to be a man devoid of prejudice and appreciative of the efforts we made in his behalf. Chicago is full of just such men save they have not, as has he, the courage of their convictions. But let one prominent and influential man come out for a cause that is right and just and hundreds will quickly follow in his footsteps. A leader is all that is required, and in Mayor Thompson the race has a friend who will guard our interests as well as he will guard the interests of any other race. Let us be good citizens and deserve the confidence and trust the good people of Chicago have in us. TREATING EVIL. SOMETHING ON ME."

But if the end justifies by after Wisconsin. "HAVE SOMETHING ON ME." How familiar that saying is to most of us, and how much has it cost outside of dollars and cents. Many men have gone the wrong way and have made failures of themselves because of this universal habit Americans especially have. A man with no intention perhaps of drinking more than one glass of liquor finds a few friends in the place who likewise entered. To be sociable each treats, and if time permits this process is repeated until the indulgers give little care about the time or anything else. If you are not one of this class you are not a good fellow or a sport, and are frowned on as being a dub or tight wad. And yet every man knows just what it leads to. A bill prohibiting treating to intoxicating liquors was passed by the Wisconsin legislature recently, and if the senate does likewise it will be against the law to "set 'em up" to anyone save your wife or kin. True, such a law would curtail one's right, and it seems too bad such laws are necessary. But if the end justifies the means let every state copy after Wisconsin. WORK FOR THE N. A. A. C. P.

This curfew law that these rural worthies passed provides that any such who may be caught out after curfew shall be dipped in a vat ordinarily used for dipping sheep in a medicated solution supposed to kill ticks and other vermin. Just what the total population of this western metropolis is from where we are sitting is a question. But—we repeat merely for emphasis—BUT, the betting is a hundred to one that outside of the constable, the man who runs the post office and general store combined, and, we almost forgot, the blacksmith, the other prominent villagers could be counted by the oldest inhabitant on one hand. Living in a place like that it might be well if the whole aggregation were dipped in this solution every Saturday night—we believe that's the regular bathing night. However, it is our sole duty to turn over such matters to the N. A. A. C. P., which we do with our compliments. MAJ. R. R. JACKSON is a representative that the whole race can be proud of. The recent bill he introduced to prohibit the presentation of films or plays that have a tendency to incite race prejudice or misrepresent a certain class of people, went through with the flattering,vote of 111 to 2. The daily press said his speech carried the house by storm. Judging by the vote that followed it was a cyclone. Satisfied with the moral conditions of your neighborhood, patronize and support the nearest saloon. JESS WILLARD has left the stage, the fortune that his managers dreamed of that was to be made by exhibiting this wonderful boy prodigy vanished after his first two or three public appearances when the crowds who came to see him could be counted in half a minute and then have a few seconds to spare. He may be a fighter but as a hero he hasn't "got 'em." SEE AMERICA FIRST is a compulsory slogan this year, and it might be a pretty good habit to get into after all. There will be plenty of time for travel abroad after the war, and those interested in ruins will have a feast fit for the gods. Belgium now offers that attraction but getting there without being ruffled is the question. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN is in a quandary. How can he run the affairs at Washington as intricate as they are at present, and do chautauqua work to? Will some one kindly make a suggestion? GERMANY HASN'T REPLIED as yet to Uncle Sam's note, but it is understood in high circles that our demands will be settled by arbitration, doubtless one or two years after the war is settled. Well, that's better than fighting, anyway. JUST WHEN we begin to feel sorry we took them off, the weather man will turn on a warm day and make us glad again. Wonderful climate this, the unexpected always happens. OUR WAR CORRESPONDENT, brave man that he is, says if we must fight Uncle Sam can count on him, and as the pen is mightier than the sword, he chooses the mightier. JACK JOHNSON has gone to Spain. The toreadores will find out there is no "bull" about him if they get him real provoked. IN THE MEANTIME let's not forget that a few of our women on the police force would help some. THE WAGE BASIS BY Z. WITHERS In our modern system the question of wages paid the worker is a reflection upon the intelligence of society. The "pay concept" reaching back into the past and arranges itself with a group of thoughts something as follows: "Man will not work without force." "He can receive pay on the basis of his active part only." "That which he does is for himself." "He is cultured to the product of his labor." "He will not labor except to satisfy his wants." Such thoughts are, indeed, so well established into our minds that we do not question their wisdom or logic. Universal suffering has been the result of applying this primitive idea (of which society is aheased) to modern development and culture. Art, science and invention nerves us forward, each generation of men developing from past groups; but advance has made upon the machine and its product the condition of the worker has remained in the cobwebs of the past. The Pullman porter belongs to the old wage scheme, but to a new group of workmen. The wheels of progress have only recently given us the Pullman car, and a new problem—the Pullman porter. No, not a new problem, but we have created an addition to the old one. Now can you imagine our remote ancestors in the early 19th century, grouping about as best they could, survive through the fiercest competition, ultimately forced to gather in common defense against a common foe—hunger, want, exposure and disease. * * * Group development continued to grow as society became more staple, due to labor and its products. Increased production and surplus accumulation and increased population and you have the evolution from the beginning to our present advancement. Slave labor was first, wage labor follows, and soon to be followed by a higher labor—social labor. The Pullman man poster is only one incident of a long since should have been abolished. Our wage basis is more false than any system of lying that we could invoke. The necessities of a man is 'based upon his output. The Pullman porter illustrates the point. Here is a man serving society in its highest form. His service is indispensable to society in its present form. It requires almost superhuman endurance to perform this man's task. His work is fatigueing, requiring constant effort and vigilance. His hours are long tedious; the end of a run is the purchase of a ticket at Chicago for San Francisco you, at the same time, procure the constant attention of the Pullman porter for the entire trip. His vigilance is constant over you; you are to be protected in every way, as is also your personal effects. While you sleep he guards you and that which belongs to you. It requires more energy to perform this class of labor than any other kind. The dull monotony of routine is a fixed charge and only one of the most feature and only men of the most performers are capable of performing the duties. Supervised at every important station at which the train stops, supervisors of the service are careful to look into the smallest details to see that no one is missing comfort and sanitary conditions of the car and the patrons of the company well pleased. Each succeeding year DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Work for a Good Lawyer. My husband is the owner of valuable real estate in this city, and I, together with our two children of tender years, am residing on the premises owned by him and formerly occupied by us both. Two years ago, my husband without any fault on my part willfully deserted me for another woman, and they have been and are now living together as man and wife in the State of Wisconsin. During that time he has given me no support whatever. About one year ago my health began to fall me and it became necessary for me to spend, considerable money for doctor bills and medicines. finds new requirements for the porter, so zealous are the Pullman officials of maintaining their standard reputation of efficiency. With a 90 cents a day wage basis, let us look at the Pullman porter again and try to fix him in his right relation to the group or society. A family unit is properly our social basis. The state requires that its citizens shall perform certain duties as a requirement of public necessity—food, clothes, education and habitation. The average family of the United States is five persons. How can the Pullman porter supply the necessities of maintenance and upkeep of a home on 90 cents per day, while other workmen performing duties in similar relation have an average of $3.50? A max's service to society is not to judge from the vision of organized labor capital, but that which we give in return to society for what was given him. The field of employment which gives less remuneration carries with it the greatest burden upon the worker. It is more pleasant to teach school than to perform manual labor, yet is not one as important as the other? The public must have clean homes, clean cities, clean railway trains, and we ourselves must be kept clean—home has to perform that character of care that should there be that difference in wages, ability, etc., as we have today? The answer is simple. Maintenance of obsolete customs of decayed ages of the past and slavery. Modern civilization increases interdependence of the individual and as we advance to a more complex form, (from. increase specialization) the more increase ratio of dependence of individualism. It is not intelligent to speak of your self as independent because it is unrational. The yearning for independence is the longing for the primitive age to return to us again. To know our own biological body is a comprehensive of growing conditions today. Society is the social body and through its organisms the world survives. Uses and customs of prehistoric ages have no proper relation to our present state of development and only for such theories and their purposes would there be the underpaid and the unemployed, the criminal who is the derelict of human society, the prostitute the tool of modern lust and ancient heredity, and the slave of today. The advantages of man over beast and his capability of surviving and mastery is his social power. Animals have no art, literature or culture—nothing survives them. We, man, on the other hand, inherit the art of a predecessor and consequently build upon the foundation of another. Thus it is shown that the word independent as applied to the social group has no power over the basis is placed upon the theory of intelligence. We will not work except to satisfy our wants. This is not true. The inherit spirit of childhood is the very concept of industry. Men are grown up children and work is the natural flow of social energy. Social energy is the stimulant of life and that is why we are human. That is why we demand to know any reasonable way for a ninety cent per day wage and for a human being. Why? And there is just one reason—the principles of slavery still survives with us. ****** Besides, my young children have been slick from time to time and I have been unable to keep them in school. My financial condition is steadily growing worse and it now becomes necessary for me to make arrangements of some kind for the purpose of raising some money.

This call to colors does not mean a call to arms, a call to battle against your fellow man, a call to shed his blood, a call to bruise, burn, main, nor a call to bring sorrow and suffering to humanity; but this call to colors is a call to swat the fly, a call to clean up your back yard before you clean up your front yard, because the back yard of many homes are the breeding grounds of flies, flesh and disease. This is a call to you to get busy and thoroughly renovate your home by removing and beating all carpets, rugs, allowing the, wind and sunshine to thoroughly air them; means for you to remove all window frames, portieres, all of which should be removed and thoroughly alred. This call is to wash and scrub all the woodwork, including the doors, sinks and toilets; to allow the light to play upon every portion of the house, and where the rooms are dark, host all windows and open up all doors to allow the air to play through the rooms. The Basement or Cellar THE basement or Cellar. In many of the basements or cellars, and in many of ordinary respectable people, there is dampness and heaps of rubbish, consisting of decayed vegetables that have been stored during the winter; ashes and garbage that should have been burned in the furnace, old cast off shoes, clothes and rags that are veritable disease breeders. All of these should be removed, the basement opened and thoroughly aired, and burned on the floor and walls of basement, once given a coat of lime wash so that you would not hesitate to invite your guest to observe your back yard and basement any more than you would to observe your front yard and parlor. But, please follow this suggestion: begin cleaning your back yard by properly disposing of your garry and all oil oils, shoes and rubbish from your back yard after which you may proceed to your basement, and placing it in a sanitary and sweet condition you may then proceed to your front yard and from there to the kitchen, the sink the ice box or refrigerator, thence to the attic and other rooms of the house that are not so often used, in toilets, bathroom, bedrooms and leisure rooms, the last room to clean, and we will pay you that the parlor and sitting room will not be neglected. Fifth and Disease. Remember that fifth breeds disease; that fifth breeds files; and that fifth breed disease, and that disease causes poverty, and that poverty breeds crime. It is the duty of every household as well as every community to make its contribution towards eradicating fifth, disease and poverty. Personal Cleanliness The spring cleaning should not be limited to one day in the spring, nor just to the house, the basement, the back and front yards, but it should include personal cleanliness. It means cleaning up and keeping clean the whole year. It is not enough to clean up the external surroundings, but you must also include the internal as well. It is not enough to make the outside of the cup clean and free from corruption; remember that cleanliness includes not only clean skin and exterior, but includes cleanliness under the skin and internally. It means clean, pure blood; it means clean, agile, useful muscles, and clean, smooth tissues; a clean, pure mind. A man whose mind is filled with low, filthy thoughts is low and filthy, because "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The man whose body is contaminated and polluted with the vile poison of venereal disease, either syphilis or gonorrhea, is dangerous and filthy, and he is in need of external and internal cleanliness and is a menace to himself and to those with whom he comes in contact. Let us ever remember this thought: "Not enjoyment-and not sorrow Is our destined end or way; But to act that each tomorrow Finds us, further than today." Questions. Miss F. W. of Joliet writes: "Will you kindly advise through your column in The Defender whether the preparation advertised as 'O-Do-Cure' is a good thing for overcoming, odor of perspiration? Do you think it would not be harmful? Does it not stop perspiration? Would you recommend it?" Reply: (1) Yes. Have used O-Do. NO CASES 'ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES can aaintain d his maim, buffer- call fly, d be used comes flies ou to ovate rating wind hem; win Cure in our family over ten months. In our family there are three ladies that use it every morning, and we all testify that it is the best preparation and the least harmful of any we have found in overcoming the odors of perspiration. (2) No, we have found it to be absolutely harmless. (3) No, we do not stop perspiration. It would harmless if it did stop perspiration. It is a good thing to perspire freely, and O-Do-Cure overcomes the offensive odors that often accompany perspiration. (4) Yes, we can unqualifiedly recommend it for the uses set forth in the booklet. **Mrs. I. Lies:** I have been wearing a copper earring both of my legs for a period of three weeks for a cure for rheumatism, but I do not seem to get any better. Do you think that I had better get a larger band of wire? What would you recommend? Reply: Copper wire has absolutely no virtue in the cure of rheumatism. Rheumatism is a nutritional and an infectious disease. We would not recommend your wearing a larger band of copper wire. We would recommend that you consult a medicalician who will give you a good purge and eliminate the toxic materials in your system, and prescribe other proper medicine necessary for your case. Remember that rheumatism is one of the most difficult diseases to cure. Dead Man's Hand Cure for Golte. Miss H. writes: "I have a large golte. One of my friends advised me to place the hand of a dead man over the golte on my neck, and assured me that I should cure me. I tried the placing of the hand on a dead man process over a year ago, but my golte continues to enlarge. Would you advise the placing of the hand of a dead woman as a better cure, as I do not want to have an operation for it. What would you advise?" Reply: In nearly 25 years of medical experience, we have not been able to learn of any virtue in the laying of the hand of the dead, male or female of golte. It is our opinion that they are good, you to try this ignorant and barbarous idea were either fools, or they considered you to be a fool. (2). Our advice is that you consult a good physician who will find out the cause or causes of your goitre and treat it accordingly. Some goitres can be greatly reduced by following out proper hygienic rules, and the taking of the correct medicine; and some goitres can be cured by operation, and in others the treatment is practically nil. You are wasting time, and you are great expense, consuming energy that should be directed in other channels by listening to or giving any attention whatever to such foolish, foggy and ane-Noah ideas in the treatment or cure of rheumatism, goitre, or etc. EDITOR'S MAIL LIKES THE DEFENDER.

That special medical attention should be given to children in the four or five early years before school begins is asserted by Dr. David Forsyth, an English physician, whose views are published in a bulletin just issued by the United States bureau of education. Dr. Forsyth declares that medical inspection points to a widespread school children points to a widespread deterioration during the first four or five years of life, which leaves the majority of children with serious but preventable defects.
