C. A. REID GRADUATES FROM ARMOUR TECH Young Man Without Means Finds Substantial Friends Who Help Him With Tuition—Faculty and Students Praise Him for His Pleck. Mr. C. A. Rid is happy—he is joyous—and feels proud of the fact that he is a graduate of Armour Institute of Technology. When Rev. Frank Guanus, president of the Institute, handed him his diploma there was a look of satisfaction, as if to say: "Young man, you have stormed the sea; you will make good." Mr. Rid is a young man who made him the first school by his persistence and determination. Last year, at the beginning of the second semester, January 26, he had $25 tuition, dues; $25 accepted and time extended to pay April 15, payable in advance, unable to pay and time was extended him to May 20. Mr. Rid finished $150 in debt. His prospects were poor for returning. He spoke to Dean Raymond, and on his suggestion he put in an application to institute and it was accepted. He paid $100 of the indebtedness and returned to school $50 cash. He worked from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. for the tuition. Returned to school second semester flat broke, no money and no sympathy, owing the school $2. One of the professors gave him a check for the amount and promised to look after personal expenses' for the balance of the year, which he did willingly. His experiences at Armour have been pleasant, professors and classmates kind and courteous, without the slightest prejudice. He received the best recommendations and assurances of more help next year if he needs it next year. He owes Armour Institute $75 'and $150' to the professor who helped W. H.

CHICAGO, MAY 29, 1915 TS TAKE CA romoters A THE LEO FRANK CASE AROUSES ENTIRE WORLD Strange Contrast in the Thousands of Letters Sent the Governor of Georgia Asking for Clemency for Condemned Jew and the Silence That Follows the Lynching of an Afro-American. WILL ANY GOOD RESULT? Race Hopes That Frank Case Will Arouse Latent Conscience of American People Who Will Stamp Out the Damnable Crime Called Lynching. The "Frank" case in Georgia has apparently aroused all of the civilized world. Petitions signed by countless thousands have been sent to the governor of Georgia asking for the commutation of the sentence of death, which the highest court in the land says Frank must pay as penalty for the murder of the Phagan girl, to life imprisonment. A strange contrast appears to the enlightened Afro-American of the blindness and silence of American Christianity whenever and whenever bishops and burnings at stake, and the illusory of Afro-Americans without process of law, are so wrecklessly indulged in. Abolish Capital Punishment. Capital punishment ought to be abolished, and the Defender agrees with the governor of petitions sent to the governor of Georgia, that the life of Frank should be guarded, and that the expiation of the crime of the murder of the Phagan girl should be worked out in solitary confinement of Frank in the Georgia penitentiary. It is our hope, however, that the best conscience of the Americans will be aroused at this time to Southern injustice toward Afro-Americans in the same degree of intensity and interest that the proposed hanging of Frank has occasioned.

Jackson's Address Before the Illinois Legislature Last Week in Support of His Film Bill. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Springfield, IL, May 28—The full text of Major R. R. Jackson's speech in support of his film bill reached the public early this week. His address in full follows: "Mr. Speaker and Gentleman of the House: I have prepared and have before you a letter in relation to this bill, but am not pleased answer the essay which the gentleman from Cook (Plerson) has delivered. "I want to call your attention to the debates of the house of April 7, when the distinguished gentleman from Cook (Plerson), speaking on House Bill 88, did not assume that any parish individual of this house should set himself on the supreme court of the state of Illinois. The gentleman used the following language: "Gentleman: I hope you will let this bill go to third reading. If it is unconstitutional it will be ample time to determine that when the supreme court shall pass upon it." The contrary, today he assumes that the court, and wants to pass upon the morals bill. I should say that 'inconsistency' art thou a jewel.

I want to say that this bill strikes at the pictures and plays that are today a sentiment against the weaker races of our great nation. This gentleman would have believe that something else under God's sun is going to fall if this bill is passed, and making a mountain out of a mole hill. He refers to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, which have nothing to do with this bill. "I have many facts in regard to this matter—clippings from every (Continued on Page 2.) OFFICER WM.

ANOTHER SIDE OF THE WET AND DRY QUESTION Although Opposed to the Demon "Rum," The Chicago Defender Wants to Know if the Dry Promoters Will Provide Work for the Many Afro-Americans Now Employed by the Liquor People. WILL UNIONS LET THEM IN? When Unnautical Prejudice Against Afro-Americans Seeking Employment is Wiped Out The Defender Will Join Hands with Advocates of Prohibition. Many of the ministers of the city have started a crusade against manufacturers and dealers of spirituous vinoic liquors. Indeed the "wet" and "dry" question may be said to be the paramount issue of the day. It is interesting to note in this connection that the whisky interest and its allied business have been the source of much employment to the Afro-Americans by means of which their families are supported and their children educated. Only Then. While we are opposed to the demon "rum," we wonder if the various industries and unions who now bar Afro-Americans from work in their trades and industries will permit the Afro-American, who would be thrown out of supervise, to supervise, to earn living along with them? When the unnatural prejudice against Afro-Americans seeking employment along lines of endeavor pointed out above has been completely eradicated, then The Defender will join hands with the advocates in hiding in this work along common lines for a common cause. But not until then. WALDO W. TYLER GRADUATES FROM UNIVERSITY OF OHIO Son of Former Auditor of the Navy Ralph W. Tyler is the only Member of the Race to Graduate from the College of Pharmacy—Receives Degree of B. S. (Special to the Chicago Defender), Columbus, O.

COMMON LAW WIFE AND CHILDREN RECEIVE $80,000 And Children Deceive $80,000 Shelby County Court Decides in Favor of Afro-American Woman—Guardian Demanded For Them. Special to The Chicago Defender. Memphis, May 15—The courts have decided that Betty Hicks and her eight children should have the $80,000 left by the white father of the children. Betty Hicks was the practical slave of the white man as well as his common wife and it was proven that the children were all his without a doubt. The mother and children densely ignorant—not even comprehending the contest over the will nor the decision giving them $80,000 means. When found they were working in fields in overalls and male attire—the girls never having seen a petticoat. Only Good Thing Father Ever Done. Judge Barton declared, "the only decent thing this social outcast, the white father, ever did was when he left his estate to his common law wife and the children of her body." He coded that such ignorant unprepared into possession of such wealth will be the victims of every schemer. The News-Scimeter, white, of this city says: Children to be Educated. "The jumpsers and overalls should be taken from them; they should be dressed decently and taken out of the cotton patch and sent to school, where they may derive the belated benefits accruing from their father's wealth, which their labor largely helped to accumulate, and to which they are entitled by every rule of right and helpless people are to be abandoned.

FILM SHOWN FRIENDS. Mayor, However, Refuses to Attend Private Exhibition—Harmony Loving Citizens Do Not Believe That He Will Allow Money Sharks to Turn Him From the Right. The efforts to inflict upon Chicago the race-hating, prejudice-breeding moving picture film known as "The Birth of a Nation," will not down in spite of the fact that Mayor Thompson has announced that he will not permit the exhibition of this film. The promoters have again inaugurated a campaign of publicity looking toward changing the attitude of the administration and wringing from the Chief Executive a permit to exhibit the film. Newspaper accounts report that the promoters gave a private exhibition of the pictures at the Illinois Theatre on last Sunday to which were invited the representatives of the daily newspapers and officials connected with the administration. Mayor Thompson did attend this picture exhibition but he is reported to have indicated his willingness to view the film should it be arranged conveniently where he could see it. The promoters insist that the Mayor has heard only one side of the debate that he has taken the word of those who produced the film would incite race prejudice and possibly riots. What One Rev. Stewart Says. Rev. Dr. Stewart Edmonson, pastor of the Evston Ave. Methodist Episcopal Church, permitted to attend the private exhibition of the film. Commenting upon it in the Chicago Examiner, he said: "There are some things one naturally (Cotinued on Page 2.)

(Buck) Fisher, Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes, three young white men, were declared guilty of first degree murder for the killing of Angus Neely, an Afro-American, and their sentences fixed at life imprisonment by a jury in the First Division, Circuit Court, last week. The sentence of life imprisonment is the first imposed in Pulsulani county and the conviction of white men for first degree murder of an Afro-American can set a precedent in Arkansas, it is said. An act passed by the last legislature gave juries power to fix life imprisonment at the penalty in cases in which formerly the death penalty was mandatory. The victim of the murder was a natio- n of Africa, very eccentric and miserable. He was supposed to have had about $1,500 concealed in his house. Robbery the molestor for the murder. The aged man was killed on the night of December 15 at his home near Wrightsville, None of the defendants showed any emolion when the verdict was returned.

Court Bench, Is Praised by Associate —Fair and Square Young Man Without Race Prejudice. HIGH-CLASS CANDIDATE. Endorsed by the Non-Partisan Progressive Voters' League of Chicago —Promises Fair Deal to All Citizens —Should Be Elected. In the campaign for election of judges now on there are a large number of competent men, most of the old judges have been nominated. Party lines no longer can any figure. The people of Chicago want the best men for judges. The newspapers, Mayor Thompson and all public-spirited citizens are demanding that par E. U. 1911. Frank Johnston, Jr., first assistant state's attorney, candidate for judge of the circuit court. Readers of the Chicago Defender will make no mistake in voting for him. In the selection of judges ability and not politics should count. tisanship be done away with, and those who are fitted by training, temperament and capacity for judges be chosen. Among all the names of both parties none is better fitted for judge than Frank Johnston, Jr., now first assistant state's attorney of Cook county. Mr. Johnston has practiced law in Chicago nearly twenty years. He was in the corporation counsel's office for a number of years under Mayors Harrison, Dumme and Busse. Justice Allan D. While in office he handled some of the most important litigation connected with the city's rights. But more important to the Defender than almost anything else is Mr. Johnson's friendliness to the colored people. Throughout his whole career he has always shown himself to be a true and tried friend, and we are personally assured that if he is elected judge he will see that the law is enforced and that every man will get justice without regard to his race or color. The Defender has made a number of inquiries about Mr. Johnston and the numerous opinion of all who know him that he is the kind of man that every law-binding citizen should vote for. Praise from Associate. The following is a sample of the letters we have received from persons of whom we have inquired about Frank Johnston, Jr: Editor of the Defender: You made some inquiry of me about Frank Johnston, Jr., first assistant state's attorney of Cook county, in respect to his fitness for judge, and what his attitude is toward colored people. I have been in the office with Mr. Johnston for more than two years, and I can truly say that Mr. Johnston is absolutely without race prejudice and has insisted at all times that every man have a square deal, regardless of his color. As you know, personally, I am quite sensitive and would not notice any disposition on the part of a person with whom I was working to show prejudice. I think I can truly say that Mr. Johnston does not know any thing that, and if it did, he will be the colored people of Chicago with have a stunner friend on the bench. Yours very truly, EDWARD E. WILSON. PIG ANKLE JOINTS. "Pig Ankle Joints" as the little, unsightly and unsanitary little eating places and wagons are called, are familiar sights along State street, but they do look strange along such boulevards as Forest, Rhodes and Vernon. A fashionable resident of these exclusive restaurants not tired of the better class restaurants. Then why the "Pig Ankle Joints"?

The department of health has long taken the position that medical school inspection work expressed in a single sentence means simply "Giving the child a chance." Some very interesting and instructive examples as to the value of the school welfare work when intelligently carried out and with the co-operation of the parents were brought to the consultation clinic held at the Parkman school last week. Of course it is understood that medical school examinations cover only what are called minor ailments peculiar to children, such as adenoids, defective skin, impaired vision or hearing, slight skin eruptions, etc. These so-called minor ailments, however, seriously impair the child's ability to perform its school work and place it in a subnormal or defective class. Examination has shown that where prompt attention is needed to clear all ailments the children immediately improve in both mental and physical condition and are able to carry forward their studies with the same ability as normal children. Here is a report on one case: Let us call it case "B." Child in first grade, examined in October last for defective teeth, glandular enlargements and all the characteristics of a subnormal child. A correction of the defects noted was obtained in February this year. The child was present at the school week. Here is the teacher's report on the child: Has been in the first grade since October. First month or so made very little progress; restless, inattentive, careless, quarrelsome, and backward. Was examined by child study department physician, who recommended that adenoids be removed. Since that has been done the child has improved in every way. He takes more pride in his appearance, is ambivalent, as is the average child, almost perfect in portment, where he was formerly the most troublesome child in the room. This one case could be multiplied many times if only we had the space to report the hundreds of similar examples that have come under the notice of the department during the past year. This single instance, however, should be enough to emphasize the child of the work that is now being taught the child of the care division of the department and enlist the earnest and aggressive support of every father and mother in Chicago. Fifth and dirt make for disease and suffering. Cleanliness counts for health and comfort. Why not clean up? Do it now. A dirty city is never a beautiful city. Dirt is humanity's common enemy. Let us all unite in the fight against the common foe. Flower planting time is here and growing flowers or tending a small vegetable garden in the back yard is a splendid pastime for the children. It is good for both their mental and development, to say nothing of its value in adding to the beauty and attractiveness of the home surroundings. Fresh air and health go together, as air and air and moisture plenty of good air, keep well. WOMAN'S CLUB VISIT COUNTY JAIL The committee from the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of which Mrs. Lou Elma Young is chairman, visited the county jail during the week. On this committee were Mesdames Jessie Johnson, Fannie Johnson, and several others. This committee was made by request of the City Federation that they might be in a position to vote intelligently on the question which will come up early in June to be voted upon relative to having a new county jail and court house. The committee will be the public know about the condition of segregation and ostracism. If we get a new jail, and likely we will, something must be done or we will be failed in the cellar of the new one. TIME FOR SCALES IN YOUR HOME Everything purchased nowadays is laid in scales and weighed. It is likely that some of the stores may have scales that give short weights. The purchaser should not suffer short weight and in order to avoid this, heads of families should get a scale of their own and when all kinds of groceries are purchased, you could see whether you are cheated. Every one now days is looking out after their own interests—why not you.

WARD CHAPEL MAY BURN THE MORTGAGE Peoria, Ill., May 28—Strenuous efforts are being made by Ward Chapel to finish paying the mortgage. As a starter, ninety-two members of the congregation pledged themselves in amounts ranging from $1 to $26, to be paid in cash. The congregation pledge have been paying a small amount weekly, which is deposited in the First National bank as fast as received and kept separate and distinct from other church funds. Commenting upon the united attack upon the mortgage, the Rev. Mr. Jones said, "Our idea is to create self-help and so train members, of our race that it is a duty they owe themselves to bear these responsibilities and not to forever throw them upon other shoulders. I believe this is the first time in history of colored churches in Peoria that a congregation has ever attempted to raise so large an amount from the church and I glory, and my congregation glories, in its independence." The amount of pledges from the ninety-two, who are already banded together, is $493. There are many others who undoubtedly will put their shoulders to the wheel and there are other plans for making up any difference required that does not entail solicitation from outsiders. REV.

JUDGE TERRELL FILES PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY Only Member of the Race on Municipal Court Bench at Washington, D. C., Enters Voluntary Petition—Claims Debts Equal $13,491.58. While Assets Are Only $62.50 Above Legal Exemption. BANK FAILURE CAUSE. Pettitioner Was Stockholder in Capital City Savings Bank, Which Failed Eleven Years Aged—Some Sidelights on the Bank Failure. (Special to the Chicago Defender.) Washington D. C, May 29—Last week Robert H. Terrell a judge of the municipal court, filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy. He lists his debts at $13,491.58, and says his assets consist of $6,250 above his legal exemptions. An attempt to revive judgments of eleven years ago growing out of the failure of the Capital Savings Bank, in which he had been a stockholder, is assigned by Judge Terrell as the cause of his action in invoking the bankruptcy law. Statement of His Attorney. Attorney John Rideout, representing the petitioner, stated: "The judgments and many of the claims listed in the schedule grow out of suits against. Judge Terrell as a former stockholder in an unincorporated joint stock bank known as the Capital Savings Bank, which closed its doors in November, 1902, and for whose failure he was in no way morally responsible. These judgments have two years old and under the statute would soon be barred. Some of the owners of them threaten to renew them against him by further action in court, and an attachment has already been sent out on one of them. Advised to File Petition. "Judge Terrell" was one of the few stockholders of the Capital Savings Bank who have not up to this time relieved themselves of this burden by taking advantage of the bankruptcy law. Under the conditions which now threaten him, and because of his inability to meet these judgments and claims in full, I have advised him to file this petition. "To up this time there does not appear to have been any effort made to collect any of these judgments from whom they were obtained." Judge Terrell in addition to having been a small stockholder in the late Capital Savings Bank was also an officer of it. The bank failed about ten years ago, carrying down with it the earnings of many depositors who had placed their all in it, relying on the honesty and carefulness of the bank's officers. Just what proportion of their debts are due to judgments growing out of the bank and what proportion of the debts scheduled have been contracted since becoming a judge is not known. Practically all the other officers of the defunct bank had long since gone into bankruptcy to escape the judgments, but only one of them who went into bankruptcy up all judgments against him after going into bankruptcy, and that was Whitfield Adams, who came here. And McKinlay it is stated that the only officer of the ill-fated bank who had never been a borrower of the bank's funds. It is not possible that the bankruptcy proceedings will in any way affect Judge Terrell's tenure of office, since only the United States senate, through impeachment proceedings, can remove a judge. Judge Terrell has three years yet to serve. Washington has been over the filing of the petition. It's one sentence after another in society circles here.

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."

W. Thompson Visi. Its Gotham. (By Cleveland G. Allen.) (By Cleveland G. Allen.) New York City, May 28, 1915—One of the most creditable enterprises in this city is the Young's Book Exhibition, held at 135th street, of which George Young is the most enthusiastic host. Arture, is the proprietor. At the exchange may be found a complete stock of books, among the very latest output of the most prominent of the authors of the race. It may be safe in saying that the Young Book Emporium has the most complete line of books written by Negroes to be found in this country, and Mr. Young is constantly adding to his stock. Together with books there may be found a complete set of pamphlets and postcards of subjects, written by white authors bearing on the race. The exchange is fast becoming the center of information of achievement in this city, and is doing a great deal to inspire confidence in the men and women of the race in the city to love the literature that is produced by their own race. Practically all of the best known authors of the race like Dubois, Kelly Miller Grimke, Booker Washington, Reed, Scarborough and Danbark, together with a large list of others, are represented in the big list of writers found at the exchange. Mr. Young, your correspondent, stated that it is your correspondent in conducting the emporium to collect a complete list of books of all the authors, and to instill into the race a devotion to the literature that is the product of the members of the race. Rev. W. P. Hayes, one of the most prominent pastors of this city and among the ablest of the preachers in this country, celebrated his fourth anniversary as pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church with throughout the day on Sunday, May 16. During the four years as pastor of this church Dr. Hayes has done much towards making for the efficiency of the church service and has raised a donor for a race run in this city. The church services brought to a close a remarkable year's work of the pastor, and the financial reports, together with the reports from the various departments of the church, indicated fine progress for the pastor and his congregation. The loyalty of the congregation and friends was seen in the large number of people who attended each of the services during the day. In the morning Rev. W. P. Hayes, in Augusta, Ga., and for four years pastor of the church, preached in the morning, and the Rev. Dr. W. A. Credit of Philadelphia, Pa., preached in the evening. Special services were held by the Sunday school, which is one of the most flourishing departments of the church. The superintendent, Wesley Norman, gave a brief address in which he outlined the history of the Sunday school. N. B. Dodson, representing the Concord Baptist Church, also made an address. The B. Y. P. U., an agency that has done much for the education of the literary development of the young people of church, reported fine progress and contributed to the success of the occasion. Miss E. P. Baylor, president of the organization, C. C. Allison, Jr. read an interesting paper on "The History of the B. Y. P. U." The Good Will Club, of which Mrs. M. Linberger is the president, made an excellent report. A feature of the anniversary services was the presentation to the pastor of the church, Dr. Hayes, by the trustees of a gold watch valued at $76. This was done as an attestation of the high appreciation in which Dr. Hayes is held by the members of his church, and a recognition of his services, which have been unsatisfied given for the best interest of the Deacon Batt made the presentation in talking to Dr. Hayes relative to his four years he had raised $42,275,50, which represents an average of $11,000 a year. He has preached 195 funerals, married 110 couples, and preached 556 sermons. Since coming to this city Dr. Hayes has been one of the strongest forces for good in the community. He takes a keen interest in all matters pertaining to the general good and welfare of the race. He is well trained for his life's work and has had large experience in the graduate of Bennet College, of the Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va. Before coming to this city he was formerly instructor in public speaking at that institution. Dr. Hayes is sympathy with all young men who strive, and he never fails to give encouragement to all young men who give evidence of character and purpose. He is one of the best informed men in the race on matters of current interest. Dr. Hayes is splendidly assisted in his work by his amenable young wife, Mrs. W. P. Hayes, who is a young woman of the highest nomenclature. She is one of the most popular music teachers in the city. Your correspondent had the pleasure a few days ago of greeting his old friend R. W. Thompson of Washington, doubtless the foremost newspaper correspondent of the present era, and his colleagues, so conspicuous for finesse, had been the features for a number of years of the bulk of the Negro newspapers of this nation.

Carter's hustling kept it from being a four-ply drive. Wilson tossed Weiss out to Clarence Lee, then fanned Reed, ending the agony. Wilson settled down and only one man reached first after the second. Harrison strolled seventh on four wide ones. We did no further scoring till the eventful eighn. when Monroe跑 beat out an infield hit. Wilson's sacrifice put Monroe on second, Harrison strolled, Carter Wilson hunted towards third, Monroe slid into third, Harrison scooted for second, and Carter perched on the field the slow bunt. The creaked wild and, Lee, who had been playing such sensational ball around first, received a thunderous applause as he gallantly stepped to the plate. Lee responded with a sharp tap to short, who threw to first, Elder scoring and tying the runs. He was threequarters home when the ball was hit, it being a hit-and-run play. Lee was out at first, and Harrison going to third. Bob Anderson also singled for a hit-and-run play, Harrison taking a big lead off third. Rob laid a slow roller towards first, forcing the pitcher to field it. Harrison was across the plate and Rob was thrown out at first. Legare went out on an infield fly, retiring the side and hitting the ball. This was enough to win, although we added one more in the ninth frame, for Wilson was pitching his best, striking out Bokancamp and Crowley and making R. Schroeder hit to Clarence Lee, who came in, scooped it up and beat his man to the sack, ending the fray. The boys play the Neighborhood Guild at Washington Park this afternoon at 3, and they are out to upset the red-and-black machine's record.

PETER HILL'S LONG DRIVE Was Feature of the Game—Adams Twirled Good Ball After First Inning—Francis Gets Four Swats. The American Giants won from the La Porte, Ind., team Sunday at Schoring's Park 7 to 1. They got to Adams, who was on the mound for the Hoosiers, in the first inning, getting six hits and as many runs. After that disasterous inning Adams settled down and pitched good, being given good support. The visitors' win was the result of three hits in succession off Gatewood, Wiltworth, Wickware and Gatwell were on the mound for Foster. The feature of the game was Lee's long drive to the center field fence. Wickware and Wiltworth played on Gatwell. Giants played an erroneous game, while two were clinked against the La Porte men. The Giants gathered sixteen hits, one a three-bagger by Barber, Francis got four, Hill and Duncan two and Barber three. McNair, Gatwood and Wiltworth went hitless.

DREW TO RETIRE FOR A YEAR Greatest Sprinter the World Ever Knew to Leave the Cinder Path for a Much-Needed Rest—May Not Compete in Exposition Games. PULLED TENDON CAUSE. Injury at Olympic Games and Again at Philadelphia Recently Hampser Star Holder of World's Record. The great Howard Drew is to give up his track work for a year at least. This announcement comes from Los Angeles and is the cause of much surprise right now, as he was expected to take part in the intercollegiate games in the East and also to run at the San Francisco games this summer. Drew is conceded to the team, but he ever wore a spiked shoe, and to man it clearly understood he holds the world's record for the hundred-yard dash, covering the distance in 93 seconds, and is joint holder of the 220-yard dash. He is also good in the broad jump, although he prefers the sprints. Drew also plays both football and baseball. Drew made a record for himself while attending the Springfield high school, Springfield, Mass. His ability was at first doubled, but he soon showed that he was far from the average. He won from all competitors. Charles A. Price, now at Maine University, was then a student at the Powder Point school. Rice and Drew were entered in every interscholastic in New England, and Drew always won the hundred, Rice trailing him to the tape. Rice, however, would sometimes win in the 220. He was awarded on Drew want to the University of Southern California, where he has beaten everybody that has dared to compete against him. The pace, however, has been too fast for Rice. He is still in the game, but not so prominent. Drew Hurt in Olympic Games. Drew won his right to the olympic team at Cambridge when he defeated Ralph Craig, the cracker sprint from Michigan. Craig was decisively beaten, to the surprise of all, as Drew equaled him in the race that eventful day. He went with the team representing this country, but Dame Fortune played a part. He won his trial and semi-final, but pulled a tandem, which kept him from completing, and Craig took the event. Coming back to this country he finished at Springfield high school and went west. He broke the world's record, making the dash in 98%. It was disallowed at first, but finally, seeing the crowd around it, the officials of the A. A. U. let his mark stand. Since then he has made it often. Coast People Aid Him. The people of California like him. He is every inch a gentleman, and the business man have seen fit to send him east twice to Philadelphia to represent the Southern California University. Each time he has under adverse weather conditions won the 100-yard dash. His retirement is a blow to the lovers of the cinder path, for he is not one of the greatest, but the greatest and fastest man at that distance. Retently at Philadelphia he injured himself again and the second time probably is his reason to rest up for some time to come. He is a law student and the best in his class. "A woman can't be in two places at the same time," snapped Mrs. Gabb. "She can't, oh!" growled Mr. Gabb.

BINGA DISMOND PULLS TENDON IN THE "220" Finishes Second on His Nerve, One Inch Behind His Teammate, Ward, in the Illinois-Chicago Track Meet. DISMOND DISQUALIFIED. Action of Judges Causes Storm of Protest from Stagg and the Student Body—Dismond Out of Conference Meet Next Month. Binga Diamond hurt himself last Saturday and the injury probably will keep him out of the conference games to be held next month—also off the track for some little time. He pulled a tender in the 220 about fifty yards from the tape, and one pure grit and nerve he finished second, only an inch behind his teammate, Ward. Nobody thought Stagg would enter Dismond in the game, and he proved a drawback to him, and he was advised not to enter the quarter, but he insisted he would and could go. In this event some of the most clever bits of jockeying that have ever been seen in the West were pulled off. Goletz, formerly of Oak Park, was primed by Gill of Illinois for this race. Corwall and bed, but maroon men were in the lead, and O'Mearn of the orange-and蓝 squad was pressing closely on the turn. Diamond Uses Headwork. Binga, who had been running on the outside, suddenly shot in front of the dot-matators. O'Meara tried to pass Dissan, so seeing that he could not win and that he breathed were safe if he could handle O'Meara, did so. The orange-and-blue man was pocketed and so neatly was it done that it drew the applause from the maroon rooters. This drew the ire of one of the officials, and it was claimed that Dismond had elbowed O'Meara in passing him. A lengthy argument ensued. Stagg defended Dismond fearlessly. Dismond had blocked the orange-and-blue runner, but had not touched him. The third place and disqualified Dismond caused a storm of protest from both the student body and track team.

Each and every one of us are constantly reaching for something just a little and our grasp. It is a case where the topmost peach always looks most tempting, and in our efforts to climb up to get it often we k many fruit laden branches that can never be replaced. The admires progress, demands it, but is it necessary to crush our man in order to rise? Comparatively few of our millionaires their money honestly, using the term in its strictest sense. They or their forefathers have climbed over the bones of the working class to their palaces and feasted, while the poor under dogs scarcely had bread and meat enough to sustain life. It is no wonder socialism is getting stronger every day. Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, has put into practice a profit sharing plan that has worked out most successfully. Every employee from the janitor up receives a certain percentage of the year's business; no man receives less than five dollars a day. If Henry Ford can do this and still become immensely wealthy, why can not others do the same? It is the greed for gold and power that makes men lose their humane instincts. And what does great wealth bring? Surely not happiness, for many rich are miserably unhappy. Money and what it will buy is not everything, and they that have plenty are grasping for social position, title or something equally as phantom-like. The fad of buying a broken down nobleman for a husband which has been quite the caper for those in the smart set, is slowly dying out, but not before our American girls have had some bitter experiences. To-day a Jew, though he be fabulously wealthy, cannot enter a certain social strata; his nationality bars him; nothing else. Such a person who ambitions suffers more than does the poor man who knows his limitations. The world isn't wrong. It is just the people in it. It has been so since the year of one, and doubtless will continue. There is one way to be happy and that is to make the most of what you have and as fortune smiles on you smile back and in the end who will know the difference.

No sane advice could be given by any sage, and it will be noted the advice can be followed by more than just the colored people with profit.

A run comes in for some heavy finger; interests have quite as much to complain with the film, barring its general who have succeeded in making some pity think it is harmful, when it is merely to do is to let it a natural death A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME, 'tis said, is just as sweet, and a film whose title has been changed from the "Clansman" to "The Birth of a Nation," or one that was originally called "The Nigger" changed to "The New Governor," loses none of its objectionable features. Representative R. R. Jackson, who fathered the bill in the house which is intended to prohibit the exhibition of any film which tends to incite race hatred or rioting, endeared himself to every fair-minded person regardless of race or color, and to show how deeply in sympathy his colleagues were with him, only two out of one hundred and thirteen voted against the measure. Mayor Thompson squeaked the presentation of "The Birth of a Nation" and perhaps will do likewise to "The New Governor," which slipped in one of our downtown theaters without the usual beating of drums, etc., figuring they could have a run before the new law came into effect. There are some decidedly objectionable features about this picture, but whether it is wise to give it the publicity that was given the "Birth of a Nation" or not is a question. We agree with the critic who said: "It is one of those pictures you couldn't get excited about if you tried. It was made from a table of ingredients aimed at an emotional hot tamale effect, but we are so used to them that they provide no novelty of sensation. For the long years we've read miles and miles of the theme in books and magazines, and now it must be wonderfully done indeed to read it in a picture with enthusiasm, let alone with sidelaking partiality." The demon run comes in for some heavy finger pointing, and all in all the liquor interests have quite as much to complain of as have we. The main trouble with the film, barring its general cheapness, is the yeasty agitators who have succeeded in making some people who know nothing about it think it is harmful, when it is merely mediocre. The best thing for us to do is to let it die a natural death—agitation only keeps it alive. THE MOVIE INDUSTRY. ANY WHO SIT IN THEIR FAVOR to pop to think of the time, labor and cost shown on the screen?

It is hard to conceive that the making of films is the fifth largest industry in the United States. Yet it is true, the census reports covering the picture industry shows that during the past eleven months $20,000,000 was spent in the making of 10,000 reels, each averaging 1,000 feet of motion picture negatives. From each reel or negative an average of thirty-five positives was made at a total cost of $17,000,000, which brought the total up to $37,000,000. The five-reel picture that is shown anywhere for a dime, costs between ten and fifteen thousand dollars to produce. Strange to say, the author gets very little for his scenario, often as low as fifteen dollars, the artists demand high salaries and the settings require an extravagant outlay. But the money flows back into the coffers of successful managers as swiftly as water flows down hill. In Chicago alone something like three hundred and fifty thousand people attend the movies daily. In New York City three times this number is recorded. And what promised to be a bad turned out to be a staple business. There is no question but what they have come to stay, and as they afford clean, wholesome and cheap amusement we welcome them. A WEALTHY NATION. IMATED VALUE of the nation's wear H. L.

Rogers of the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce, is placed at $137,730,000,000, or $1,965 for each man, woman and child in the country. New York makes the greatest showing of any state, having $251,010,000, Illinois following with $15,484,000. Staggering figures these for a country that has but a few centuries behind it. At the rate we are going, together with the deplections of the exchequers of the other powers due to war, it will not be many years before we will take first rank in the financial world. If the anarchists' plan were followed out and each person given their proportion of the country's wealth, $1,965, it would be interesting to note just how long this condition of affairs would last. Probably not twenty-four hours. We haven't reached the millennium as yet. Some of us, however, would like to try the experiment especially in these times when it is as hard to get a dollar as it is to put salt on an eagle's tail. Still it is a comforting thought to know the country has money and all we have to do is to work and get it. FOR JUDGE OF THE CIRCUT COURT—FRANK JOHN STON, JR. EVERY VOTER IS OR SHOULD BE familiar with the record made by a candidate aspiring to public office. It is to his interest to do so from many points of view, and it is not a difficult matter in this day and time when the press turns the searchlight upon every aspirant and gives his pedigree from the cradle to the grave. We are asked in the coming election to vote for the Hon. Frank Johnston, Jr., for judge of the circuit court. His name need only be presented to the intelligent voters of Chicago to have them rally to his support and give him an overwhelming majority. It will be remembered that Mr. Johnston has held the position of assistant state's attorney for a number of years, and it will also be remembered how efficiently he performed his duties. That he is amply fitted in every respect for the high office he seeks is unquestionable. The Defender is confident that the race it represents will pile up a flattering vote on the credit side of the judgeship ledger for their friend, Hon. Frank Johnston, Jr. GOOD IF IT WORKS. T.

It takes two or more people to hold a conversation, and in some instances it might be a case of where "Barkus isn't willin'." It would take a careful assay to determine whether it is the heart of the colored man or that of the white man in which race hatred is stronger. Perhaps it is in the former, for certainly he has the sterner reason for such hatred. He is even less apt to cultivate the good will of the white man than the latter is to cultivate his good will. He is more disposed "to have it out" with the other fellow; and the more he thinks about the past, the stronger this conviction becomes. A MISNOMER, THAT'S ALL.

The gentlemen not satisfied at lynching by wholesale our race but are now trying to show in picture, to foreigners, extorted acts of violence supposed to have been committed; but what about the white man's acts on colored women. A DENIZEN OF THE "STROLL" gave two reasons why he wouldn't join the Allies. First, Germany never did anything to him and if they did he forgave them; second, he understood the Germans have a gun that shoots ten miles and then throws rocs for half an hour. PERHAPS IF WE KEEP INSISTING on having a few race women on the police force and a few more fire companies manned by our people we will get them, but we cannot expect these things to come to us unsolicited. ITALY HAS JOINED the merry ranks of fighters. Just that many more human lives offered for sacrifice to the god of war. Who will be next? A COMMITTEE of 100 women including prominent people as Mrs. William Hale Thompson, Mrs. J. Ellsworth Goss and Mrs. George Bass, president of the committee on public affairs, have banded themselves together to check the southward march of the new vice district and with the aid of Chief of Police Healey, undesirables will find that their lot is not a happy one. Whoever passed the word around that under Mayor Thompson's administration the town would be wide open, had better retrace his steps and reinform the people. We don't expect Chicago to be entirely free from vice but it can at least be kept at low cbb. ACCORDING TO REPORTS "WE" have a millionaire in California by the name of Owens. Recently his chauffeur was arrested for exceeding the speed limit. He paid the ten dollar fine imposed but could not resist giving his man "Friday", the following little lecture: "De intention of my soul guarantees mah putting up dis equilent in order to keep yo' out of de lockup; if you wasn't de bes' driver I eber had, I wouldn't put up his equilent to save yo' skin." Here is a case of unadulterated selfishness; pity played no part in the transaction. No wonder some people can get rich. MAJOR FUNKHOUSER, second deputy superintendent of police, declined to issue a permit to exhibit the "Leo M. Frank Case" in motion pictures. What has come over the moving picture producers? Have they gone money mad? Is there nothing sacred from their camera? After Frank is executed undoubtedly they will want to produce that scene as an added attraction. Our local and state governments are taking a hand in the censoring none too soon to allay the friction that is bound to come with the producing of such objectionable films. WHO SAYS CHIVALRY or rather appreciation, has died out in the south? In Marshallville, Ga., two wealthy brothers, E. B. and W. P. Baldwin, gave a dinner to eleven of their father's former slaves, both donning aprons and serving the old people with their own hands. These little touches of sentiment tend to prove that after all the Blease and Vardaman spirit does not pervade the entire south and that there are many people below the Mason and Dixon line that have their hearts in the right place. ANSWERING THE QUERY as to what has become of the long sermons the Monday morning papers used to print, we hasten to explain that the space is taken up with accounts of baseball games, prize fights and the war in Europe. ONE IS INCLINED to suspect that winter is lingering too long in the lap of summer. More people besides the ice men and tailors are complaining, the managers of outdoor amusement places, for instance. IF BILLY SUNDAY succeeds in reforming New York, there will be some hope for Chicago. P. B. Tuberculosis and Western Climate. We are daily being piled with questions concerning the advisability of seeking a western climate for the cure of tuberculosis. Many people seem to be obsessed with the idea that western climate is the "sine qua non" in the cure of tuberculosis. They also know that tuberculosis or lung consumption can dampness; that if they can reach a warm, dry climate, they can prevent consumption and if they are afflicted with tuberculosis that they can readily be cured of the malady. But such a mistaken idea. A warm western climate will not destroy the tubercle bacilli and thus cure lung consumption. The disease is exposed and comes in close contact with tubercle bacilli he is most likely to contract the disease in any climate. The Nature of Tuberculosis Remember first of all, that tuberculosis is a communicable disease; that it is a germ disease; and that it will grow and flourish in any suitable soil; that tuberculosis is no respecter of person or climate; that it is found in every part of the habitable globe; that all races, all countries, all climates and all times have their share of this scourge. Some years ago we visited Colorado and the various health resorts in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas and in every place we found many chronic consumptives, who were faraway from home and friends, very lonely, without the necessary means of comforts of a good home and consequently them died from homesickness, poverty, dependency and a disturbed mind. Benefits of Western Climate If you are able to spend from $75 to $100 per month on the care of yourself and are able to take a companion with you to look after you and to care for you (for the people in the western climate, like those in the open cases into their homes or come in contact with open cases of tuberculosis), we would say that it might be a good thing for you to spend your winters in Southern California, San Antonio, Phoenix, Arizona, or Albuquerque, New Mexico, or opened people, would advise them to remain at home as they will be much better off in the state of Illinois, in the city of Chicago, than in any western place, as we have been unable to find any place, with a first class or second-class hospital, for that matter anywhere else in these United States, except the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium of Chicago, where people of African descent are received on the same day as those who are treated and given a square degree for the recovery of their health as other nationalities or races. Sending People Away. We admit that it was customary some years ago, (and by the way, doctors are responsible for this idea of ultimate "forget" when we did cough or lunge, when we did not know Preventive Measures First Aid Remedies Hygienics and Sanitation NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES Race Issue in Tuberculosis. Permit us to say that we are very sorry that a certain daily paper of Chicago tried, a few days ago, to bring in the race issue and cause the color line to be drawn at our Municipio white and black. Santillanier between white and black the afternoon daily should remember that the people of African descent are carrying a great deal of weight in this country on account of their racial identity, and that it is unfair, undignified and unmanly to add to this problem the negationism one of our public institutions for which we took the stump and made speeches night and day and many other good citizens interested people to vote for the erection and maintenance of this institution. We would like for the certain daily paper to answer the following questions: As the Negro has been discriminated against socially, as he is being discriminated against economically, shall he be / discriminated against politically, shall his treatment in assisting him cover from disease be different from We have so long associated representation of the race with such-places: politician office or a professional career. We have also crasp the significance of its meaning. A broad and intelligent view of the term has quite another meaning and places us as individuals in responsibility and upon our honor and integrity representatives individually of the race. We represent the race. Our standard of conduct relates to our interest and influence in the social group, and modifies our standing. The amount of influence we wield in the great social body is a question of individual activity and its cogency collective activity and group; therefore we are representative of the race, you and I; and race progress and influence depends upon us. Our identity places us in a certain group of individuals just as all separate groups are distinguished apart. The influence any race will effect upon the social body must necessarily interfere in the personal effort, and for that reason your personal and mine as individuals represents and mine as individuals import than is usually ascribed to us. As a rule our attention is directed to some member of the group, who perchance has distinguished himself through personal effort, becoming well known because of personal achievement, but the backbone of the race and its progress, Mr. Workman, are you and I. We are the representatives of the group in its triest sense. That which we create through labor amounts to the existing force by which society may and does increase, develop and progress. The word representative carries with it so much importance that we say that every man who represents everything is important, and every man is important either potential or negative in the development of higher ideals. In selecting the representative to the legislature we are particularly as to the fitness of the man for the position, and the same careful analysis is used in determining anyone for residence place, whether political or otherwise, and to diligent care in selecting individuals to represent us? Are we not representatives ourselves? It is at this angle that we point to you in respect to responsibility, and our relation to the social body which we term society. Our power to influence and move upward of society evolves in representation, "to act for", ourselves not as individuals, but individually in relation to society as becomes most fitting to serve its highest usefulness. Every act we do has a meaning, an effect or an influence upon the world, because we are representatives. It is plain that individual action affects group or body movement in responsibility as individuals increases in true ratio with social advancement. The effect of politeness is first shown to have a tendency to recognize Segregation N By RALPH Segregation Not Involuntary By RALPH W. TYLER Those two exceptionally bright and alert clerks in the census office at Washington, Charles E. Hall and Robert H. Pelham, assert that their confinement in the southeast corner of a room in the census office was not a voluntary segregation; that they asked the census office to compiling and preparing Bulletin 129, grooves of the United States," to which I referred in my article "Good Out of Nazareth," which appeared in the Defender. It please me meimessarily to learn that at least this department failed to invoke the Wilson's administration policy of segregation for colored men. However, the fact remains there was a voluntary or involuntary, and according to letters received from both Messrs. Pelham and Hall the segregation, if segregation it can be called, was voluntary. The matter of voluntary or involuntary segregation, however, is immaterial, and in nowise the praise rightfully and properly due to the mastery manner in which they the duties incident to, to their assis that of other races in public institutions for which he is taxed to maintain? We wish to urge upon all the good thinking people of Chicago to stand by the officials of the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, from the presi- dence of the board of commissioners to Schoeffer and the manly stand they have taken in the administration of the affairs of the institution with justice and fairness to every person regardless of race, creed or political affiliations. We most earnestly advise and urge the readers of this paper to visit the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium as often as they possibly can and to insist an interest in the patients of said institution and its officials.

CHICAGO, MAY 29, 1915 ESENTATION WITHERS a higher existing order. It is the fine rate of civilization and prefaces a rec cognition of law and government. It signifies a righteous obligation which written statutes have been promulgated to enforce. It is the high medium of intellectual exchange without which social order would be impossible. Rice progress begins with the basis of good law, manners, showing our ex- changeable nature and product of thought. It proceeds all action, as action is based upon it. We are race representatives because we represent the social body individually and collectively as relates to body movement. Therefore your importance and responsibility as a citizen are just as important as those whom you elect to serve you. The position implies just as much. Those who act for you are at liberty to act as you do in every way. Whoever they may be, they are merely your agents. You, Mr. Worker, are not agents. Your agent represents you, and the representation can be nothing more than the truth in regard to yourself. A dozen representatives in the halls of legislatures cannot create conditions around us which are false. They can make us no more than we are, and accordingly no less. Our hope in bringing this home to you is to engage your attention to the high importance of your position. Our being susceptible to higher development is a fact only as we study the interest of the group and develop accordingly. We can represent no more in the commonwealth than constructive effort creates on our part. To be able to assimilate the ideas of others means self-abnegation, not subservience or inferiority on our part, but a readiness to yield to higher influences made manifest through actual experience. At us assume our honorable representation in the respective legislatures at Springfield and Chicago to be our distinguished agents and we the representatives. What is the first consideration for you and if? What do we represent? They represent us, our reputation and character; a successful business; a small job at a large salary? You are not a good name or a bad name. Those who represent you are your agents. You are just what you are. In regard to being a business man before you represent anything, is a false position regarding truth. Business men are no more representative other than a factor lated energy represents every a factor of wealth pertaining to property values. A man who makes is just as good as a man who sells merchandise for a living, and is just as representative. A good requisition—oh, let us place full valuation upon it. The highest race representation manifesting itself with equal force in the avenues of social triumph is honest. Not involuntary W. TYLER ment. They gave to the country the best, most complete and exhaustive compendium of facts over published by the census bureau, and because of this are entitled to just medal of praise, whether the segregation because of the census bureau, or the assignment became a voluntary effort, labored, these colored clerks, together, several of them, harmoniously, intelligently and befittingly, and there was some "good out of Nazareth," because they inbred together, and because they asked for the assignment on this particular work. My purpose—my purpose—was to give them full credit for the work, and pass benefit to the race, as allowed to the country our real achievements, the reference to segregation being merely extraneous. What I attempted to show was that, not infrequently, although none of us may care to justify it, good can come out of segregation, and the asking for the assignment by the consequent segregation, though it was, merely confirms my statement that good can come out of Nazareth.
