SWEENEY'S OPINION OF "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" SUSTAINED BY PERCY HAMMOND Dramatic Critic of the Chicago Daily Tribune Says Play Is Grotesque, Insolent and Absolutely "Barren of Plausibility." "W. Allison Sweeney Releases Facts About 'The Real Birth of a Nation.'" Saturday, June 12, under the above, the contributing editor of the Chicago Defender reviewed the much talked of "movie." Sunday morning Percy Hammond, dramatic critic of the Chicago Daily News, wrote and follows: Mr. David W. Griffith, the producer of the play at the Illinois, did me the honor last week to ask me to tell him, frankly, what I thought of "The Birth of a Nation" as a work of dramatic art. I say that he did me an honor by his ability to tell the story of a great man in his way. Griffith is an authority on the beat of the human heart; he feels to an atom what retards and what accelerates the rhythm of that susceptible organ. Moreover he has the humanity by which its contractions and dilatations in the theater are accomplished. He calculates with the uncanny intuition of a genius the cryptic relation of the eye to color and sound and motion to their ultimate detail, and he has the nerve and the vision to assemble them in a vast spectacle which is the peer (pictorially) of any historical pageant that I have ever seen, and I have seen them all. Mr. Griffith was no doubt impelled to those seemingly unfair extravagances by the Rev. Mr. Dixon, his colleague, upon his visit, the *Bishop of the Nation* "The Birth of a Nation," is founded. I believe Mr. Dixon to be sincere in his abhorrence of the Negro; he heats the race and he embraces it. He so-called Afro-American. With that emotion I have nothing to do, but I believe that were his method to be less than of a charismatic man, he would lose, if his squawks were less like those of a yellow dog, his mission would be more effectively accomplished. A propaganda piece, he would so obviously as does Mr. Dixon in all his works is more or less ineffective. Mr. Griffith disavows him, but he is there just the right way. He also opposed the apotheosis of unreconstruction, a sinister element throughout the story of "The Birth of a Nation." Perhaps when I say "ineffective" I am wrong. The other night I was told by a friend that he covered the Stars and Bars, and it was not moved by the Stars and Stripes. It applauded "Dixie" and greeted "Marching Through the Stars." The prejudice of one whose father and grandfather marched with Sherman to the sea and whose best boyfriend friend was the most tenacious man. But I do believe that in the attitude of the audiences of "The Birth of a Nation" there is much incentive to fighting for this indifferent republican impasse should develop into war. That off my mind, I may tell Mr. Grillin what I think of him as an artist. Photographically and as a masque master he is a marvel, pedent rather than good. The absurd coincidences of the play are juvenile, maudlin and inimitable, in cannot imagine Thaddeus Stevens's suspense and fanatic Negro lover, going to visit the fire-eating South Carolina Camorons at a time when the South's wounds were the sorest. In the play, we treat our audiences like babes. To me the most artistic thing in "The Birth of a Nation" is that real and photographic event of SENGSTACKE ACADEMY CLOSES FOR SEASON (Special to The Chicago Defender.)

HIS SWORN STATEMENT. Says He Never Attended Festival and Has Not Been in the City Recently—Rev. H. E. Stewart Leads in Protest. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Evanston, Ill., June 18—Monday the News-Index published a communication over the signature of Anatol Golos, president of the Golos Railway Signal Company of America, which was entitled, "Wants a Color Line." The contents of the communication caused considerable discussion and a petition of protesting citizens rushed to this office with replies to the statements made, and these communications appeared in Tuesday's paper. A number of letters also were sent to Mr. Golos, in which the colored citizens stated in no uncertain terms what their opinion of the railroad man is. Yesterday now light was shed on the situation when Milton Cohen, claiming to be the personal attorney for Mr. Golos, appeared in the News-Index office and stated Mr. Golos was not the author of the letter and that his wife was greatly worried over the letters which the morning mail brought to her husband. Mr. Cohen maintained that Mr. Golos not only had not written the letter in question but that he had never attended the first meeting that had not been in Evanston in many months. He brought with him a sworn statement by Mr. Golos, denying the authorship of the letter. This denial was written on the same stationary as the first letter and the signature appears very similar to that claimed by the lawyer to be fictitious. When shown the first letter, Mr. Cohen said he was quite certain he knows that the author is, saying that he was the author of the children in the public schools, but for certain reasons he was not in a position to disclose his name. The first letter was this morning turned over to the attorneys for the News-Index to see if charges can be brought against the author for forging the signature of Mr. Gollos. Mr. Gollos' Sworn Statement. The following is Mr. Gollos' sworn statement: June 9, 1915. Editor of News-Index. Evanston, IL. Dear Sir: I do not live in Evanston and know absolutely nothing regarding the Negro situation in Evanston. I did not write the letter on the Negro in the May festival which was published recently in your paper over what purported to be my signature, nor have I ever written a letter to your paper on any subject. The affair has caused me much annoyance and I wish you would kindly print this letter in your paper. My name is as any stationery in the usual business office, and in this case it was used to hide the real author of the letter. I have no feeling against the colored race, and am entirely innocent of the many accusations that have been made against me since this communication. I am signing this letter under oath as further evidence of my position. Yours truly, ANATOL. GOLLOS. Anatol Golls. Submitted and sworn to before me this ninth day of June, 1915. MILTON H. COHEN. MR.

While at Rush attending school he was a student instructor, and after his graduation he never forsook an opportunity to be of service to his alma mater.

To Appreciate Colors Only a few of the great painters have been great "colorists" for the regrettable reason that they could not divinely see color, and to such painters the master colorist has been called crude and garish. The fine thing for everyone is to cultivate the eye to a close and ever observation of all hues and shades in nature, for in that way only one can have the pleasure of the highest appreciation of nature, splendid as the wondrous rerelations of the spectrum is in its divination of the composition of rays of light.

CHICAGO LEADS THE WORLD IN RACE PROGRESS There Will Be an Afro-American in Congress from Chicago Within Ten Years, Predicts Major John R. Lynch—Notes of Interest from the West Side. By Warren S. Lowery, B. L. The religious life of the west side was given a decided impetus by the activities of Sunday. In two of our churches especially Sunday was a red letter day. The faithful ones of Providence Baptist Church, Walnut and North Leavitt streets, despite the fact that for many months they were without pastoral leadership, have labored with admirable success to hold together their ill branches and keep in a healthy condition all branches of their church work. Sunday the new parish of Prince, D. D., LL, M. D., took charge. The congregation was out in the morning well nigh en masse to hear the opening sermon. Spiritual enthusiasm was manifest in pulpit and pew. Rev. Prince wears a robe while conducting his services, which adds to the impressiveness of the worship. The other services of the day measure up to the high standard set at the opening. Great strides forward are expected by the friends of Providence. Special plans had been made for the day at Fulton Street, M. E. Church, Rev. H. M. Carroll, pastor. At the morning service Rev. Bryant, superintendent of the Chicago-Indianapolis district, preached an edifying sermon to a large congregation. A class of students from the membership and one taken in by letter. Communion was administered. In the afternoon the pulpit was filled by the Rev. H. J. Callis, pastor of Walters A. M. E. Zion Church, Thirtyeighth and Dearborn streets. Music was furnished by the choir of St. Peter's Church, Mr. J. H. Washington. Meals were served at the church all day for the benefit of those who had come long distances and desired to be at all the services of the day. At night the district superintendent again preached and the spirit of the Lord was manifest. Mrs. Robinson, a full member of the church, Spartanburg, S. C., connected herself with the Fulton Street Church. New officers of the Woman's Home Missionary Society were installed by the district superintendent. The pastor introduced to the congregation Professor W. S. Lowery, who is visiting his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Grant, 1947 Walmut street, and announced Mr. Lowery's connection with the Chicago Defender as a staff worker for that paper during his sojourn in the city. He then again administered and the day closed with glorious results of good done for the kingdom of our Lord and of his His Christ. Collection for the day for all purposes, $102.80. Pastor and Wife at Home. Each year during Rev. H. M. Carroll's pastorate of seven years at Fulton Street M. E. Church there has been held by the members an anniversary banquet in the pastor's honor. It was announced Sunday night that the pastor had been fully changed. All day Monday, July 12 the pastor and his wife will be "at home" to members of the church and their friends. At night there will be held in the church a reception and banquet in the pastor's honor. All are invited. Race Man In Congress. Race Man in Congress. Tuesday evening at Fulton Street M. E. Church Major John R. Lynch methodist Brother an address to the Methodist Brother an address to the Lynch formerly a member of congress from Mississippi, temporary chairman of the Republican national convention of 1884, fourth auditor of the United States treasury, and is ex-paymaster of the United States army. He was introduced by the pastor, Dr. Carroll. His address was full of inspirational thought along race lines. In his work for and among our people he had discussions among us many so-called intelligent Negroes do not read enough; are not well enough posted. There is a large number among us who are narrow-minded and one-sided from reading too much of one kind of literature—too much religious matter for some, too much fiction for others, etc. He advised diversified reading which produces broad-mindedness. A glowing tribute was paid to him by the many people who stuck to him in his public efforts to rise. Our men should protect their wives, daughters 'and sisters, even though if need be with their lives, for the women are the gauge by which the standing of a race is measured. The major in an enthusiastic Chicago. Colored people in this city, said he, deserve more credit for what they are doing than in any place he has done. We are more intelligence, respectability, decency, more wealth, less poverty, than anywhere he has been. Although we do not support our business and professional men as we should, still we do so to a greater extent than in any other place with which he is acquainted. Our business and professional men are Negroes, but rather they are meeting competition, and are as well prepared for their work as others are. It is a significant fact that there is not a colored begar in Chicago. Although we make up but 2 per cent of the population of this city, still we make ourselves felt here politically to a greater degree than anywhere else in the country. The speaker ventured to be Negro in congress from Chicago within ten years. The colored people were commended for being true, faithful and loyal to Major Lynch in his public career, and now in his declining years he desires only to be of some service to us in an unselfish way. To this end he will use his strength, influence, experience and power. He will walk distance of their work feel doubly blessed this week when the street, car men's strike went into effect.

(Press Service, Department of Health). The pupils in the Curtis school, under the leadership of Miss Meta Wellers, organized a clean-up and swat-the-fly campaign, and are already doing effective work. Miss Wellers has composed a song and a play, and girls in costume, which is being sung and practiced with much enthusiasm. Here is the song: In our homes we watch and work To exterminate the fly That is bringing death and sickness to our door. to our door; And with footsteps firm and light, Swatting to the left and right; We will aid our homes of life over Swat-Swat-Swat the girls are coming! Cheer up! Soon the victory's won; And within our city's gates We shall breathe a purer air Who, the last of all the filthy flies is gone. And we'll pour on garbage piles And the stagnant waters 'round Oil that stills the festive 'skeeters' buzzing clans. Chorus: Clank! Clank! Clank! ,the boys are marching! Charge upon the deadly germs. Breed in the reckling fifth, Forward, comrades, join the fray! Ere we fall to them a helpless, hope less prey. Boys and girls: So we form a willing band, Charging at our chief's command On the hill, plagues that fill the summer air: And we'll fight with all our might, Doing all that we can do. As we help to make our city free and fair. Chorus: Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! together marching. Cleaning up as we move on; And with hearts so light and gay We have entered in the fray Till the last of all the pesky files is costumes: Girls—Aprons, dust caps and fly swatters, Boys—Overalls, straw hats, bandanna handkerchiefs and oil cans. It is a great deal easier to do the things that will prevent flies from breeding than it is to kill them after they are born. If all the flies that are born each summer are two years or more and were permitted to continue their durable reproductive capacity, they would become a worse plague to humanity than any of the terrible vis- passengers Monday at the corner of Robey and Madison streets for a line of trucks.

St. SHERIFF IS HURT TRYING TO SAVE INNOCENT MAN Mob, However, Storms Jail and Lynches Man Who Was Unfortunate Enough to be in Neighborhood of Alleged Crime. (Special to Chicago Defender.) Winnshor, S. C., June 18th—Suspecting that Utes Smith, an Afro-American, charged with assault, along with a white man named Clyde Isenhour, were guilty, a mob of two hundred of the so-called "best citizens" of the fall, forely took Smith from the custody of the sheriff and lynched him. Isenhour, the white man, was fatally wounded. The whole affair grew out of an alleged assault upon a young white girl which up to this time has not been proven. Smith is well known in the community for his peaceful habits, and his arrest for the alleged assault was the result of his presence in the neighborhood at the time when the alleged assault occurred. Isenhour and Smith both strenuously protested their innocence, but the infurred mobs refused to heed the appeals. Sheriff Belleved Men Innocent. Sheriff A. D. Hood believed the men innocent and bravely fought to save their lives. He stood the mob off at the point of a Winchester for half an hour, but was finally overcome. Fighting against tromendous odds he held out until finally a shot from a revered tromendous one of the mob pierced his arms. He fell the mob made a wild rush and securing the keys to the fall went to the cells of Smith and Iseahour and dragged them to the street. Friends Try to Rescue Smith. Afr-Americans from all parts of the city rushed to the scene and maddened at the sight of one of their innocent members about to be murdered, desperately fought to rescue him. The odds, however, were against them. He struck the "smoke of battle" had cleared, Smith's body was found riddled with bullets. Sheriff Hood is probably fatally wounded. PAGE FIVE As he was being taken on a stretcher to the hospital he feebly said: "I believed those men were innocent, and I determined to save them if I could." Words of the highest praise are being expressed on every hand by both white and Afro-Americans here for the heroic conduct of the sheffil, and the regret is that death impends as a sacrifice for the discharge of his sworn duty.

BOYS TIED FOR HONORS. Loses in the Hundred to the Joy of the Local Sporting Writers, But Comes Back and Takes Pearson into Camp in the 2:20. The greatest interscholastic games that have ever been held in this section of the country were held last Saturday at Staggs Field under the auspices of the University of Chicago. It attracted over 500 of the greatest and fastest young athletes in the history of the world. The most successful year, out as shining stars. One was expected to and the other was an unknown quantity. But the unexpected that happens is what makes these athletic games so keen and so popular. Soil Butler, the first student of the University of Chicago, is the state, and Even Pearson of North Central High, Spokane, Washington, vied for honors and although Pearson surprised everyone by defeating Butler in the finals of the hundred yard dash by a score of 100, the first of the班级. Butler handed the dose right back to him in the finals of the two-century when he showed the far westerner that things weren't going to be so rosy. They both tied for the individual honors by getting the first place in the班级. In a tlie for second honors by so doing. SoI took second in the hundred and in the broad Jump and won the two-twenty while Pearson won the hundred and took second in the two-twenty and the four-forty, and there were fifty-five schools on the same day. The first place, and that Butler along with his opponent, each individually placed their schools in second place. Many think that it was that Butler underestimated the speed of Pearson otherwise he would have won for the time. But the first place in the first place done nine and four-fifths in the century. Butler was the guest of Binga Diamond Saturday evening and it is very likely that he may change his mind and come to the Midway institution since Diamond has received such fine treatment and has had a good time. He is still with the fact that the Mareons have another colored man, Lee. on the track team. BEREAN BREAKS OLIVET'S LONG WINNING STREAK BEREAN BREAKS OLIVET'S LONG WINNING STREAK McDougal Pitches Berea Team to a 11 to 2 Victory Over Last Year's Champions—Beckwith Twirls Good Game But Was Up Against Stronger Team. Bethesda on Top in Slugging Bee—St. Stephen Continues its Winning Streak at the Expense of St. Mark's—Maxie's Catch the Feature. The Berea team in the Sunday school league sprung a big surprise last Saturday at Washington Park and threw a scare into the rest of the teams in the league race by breaking the long winning streak of twenty-one games that Olivet had boasted of when they sent the last year's champion down to defeat by the score of 11 to 2 as the followers of the 45th St. church went into hysteries. By so doing the Berea team went into first place. McDougal's fine pitching kept the over-threatening Olivet team at bay, while Beckwith, twirling in grand shape, was up against too strong a combination. Berea went into first place with the victory and they were so far in every knowledge of baseball strategy. Fighter's catching, also the catching of Wilson, the batting of Huston and the home run of Braxton with two men on the paths were the features of the game.

CHRISTOPHER DOWNS ARMOUR MISSION TEAM Emerge From Rear and Play-Hard "Put St. Thomas' Church Colors in the Lead 8 to 4-Elder Pitches Great Ball—Iegeare's Peg to Winters. St. Thomas is on top again. Nothing to it for it looked pretty bad at the start but the boys got themselves to play. The players kept the jelly when the girls sheared them on the fact that it rained up to two o'clock weather left the diamond in bad conditions. Armour Mission got away in the lead by getting three runs in the first inning by some clever base running and coupled with the fact that the wind was strong they managed to get a few hits that otherwise would have been caught. St. C.s battled hard and with one out and two on they brought one run home but Dean pitched himself out of a hole and left the other one stranded. Curses! Why couldn't they have tied the score. Oh, whee. It made us nervous for they were shut out in their half of the second and in the third holding their opponents right. The first was a dancing with glee because Lee, Winters, Lungare and Elder worked them for two and the second was worked. One more inning went by and Armour tallied another, after that the little demon settled down and outside of the eighth he had them at his mercy. Winters' double scored two in the sixth and Webster came home on an error. In the eighth Elder got in trouble with two on and two down. Johnson sent a hot one to Frank Legare, who coming in on a run scooped it up with his bare hand and pegged it to Winters, getting his man. Frank threw on the dead run and he fell afterwards, plowing up several inches of mother earth with his chin. Two more runs in the eighth added to our total and the visitors could score no more.

Jackson News MAROON H'A'F-MILE TEAM LOWERS THE WORLDS RECORD MAROON H'A'F-MILE TEAM LOWERS THE WORLDS RECORD Binga Dismond, Barincik, Ward and Knight Give Fans Fine Exhibition of Running—Dismond to Enter Tryout for Frisco Fair. Notwithstanding the fact that the track was not in perfect condition the Maroon half-mile relay team, composed of Diamond, Barincik, Ward and Knight, gave the fans an exhibition of running at the interscholastic games when they ran against time and lowered the world's record for the distance, making it in 1:23 2:55. The first time the Maroon half-mile relay team has a quarter-made record was held by the games at the 1:29 3:6. Diamond was on the spring in 1:29 3:6. Diamond was on the quarter-made record was held by the games at the tryout for the Frisco fair to be held at Marshall Field and also the A. A. U. Central games to be held there, too, on the 17th of July. University of Chicago athletic board will be asked to pass on the sending of a team of alumni track stars—graduates who received degrees yesterday—and record breaking athletes still in the university to compete in track and field games. The first time the Maroon half-mile relay team has a quarter-made record was held by the games at the 17th of July. In the opinion of Director Stagg the formation of a University of Chicago alumnus athlete club under whose colors Chicago athletes may continue to compete for the Maroon is likely to result from the trip, if authorized. The plan was hatched at the annual banquet of the Hall of Fame. Order of the C. the Order of the C. "From the day the C man talked to me," he said, "I was Stieg. The University of Chicago煞队 team could enter the games at San Francisco, just the same as Princeton. But we had to play against but so have some of the Princeton runners. In '100 we sent a team to the Olympic team, and we lost. Some of these men were alumn. There would be no conference ruling against competition of men at present in the Olympics, and even for her star like Blair and even for her star like Blair and even for her star like Blair." BIRD'S EYE VIEW ON SPORTS AND SPORTING Brown and Bluett starred at the annual field day games of the Star Teen. In the events that were open to the 12 men, Brown took one second place. Both of them have been the minister of the leagues for the last time and have won the Wendell Phillips for the championship by the score of one to nothing. The Indianaapolis A. B. C. team will open up against the American Glants Sunday. They are under the management of Taylor and are out to win. The St. Christopher team will be out this afternoon but have no league game. Cubans are coming and although they have won the Stars and the Lincoln Glants they have a tough combination and many a hard matchup. There are hats and lot of school athletics here in town for the summer, and with the Central A. A. U. games, they have to take the trouble to train for them. There is no color line in these games. There is no excuse. Ward is still with the Wendell Phillips team that keep the red and black team in the playoffs and the finals of championship games for the Cook县 college it having won the South Domlionis is the most seminal pitcher the race has ever known. He is the first time he last weared from him he had worked in fifty-six innings and had struck out nine in five, having an average of 1.6 per innings. Jacobi is another addition that the All-Nations have. He is a Jap and made out of the best pitchers in the University team in its tour in 1913. He also has not suffered defeat. The four teammates have been lost were charged to other twirlers. MR. AND MRS. GEO. ADAMS ATTEND BIG WEDDING Duluth, Minn., June 18.—Mr. and Mrs. George H. Adams, who were in Fargo, N.

Commercial Leaguers Hand Lers First Defeat on Home Grounds After Two Men Are Out by Scoring Five Runs The Butler Brothers team, champion of the Commercial League, handed the American Giants their first defeat on the home grounds Saturday when in the ninth inning they staged a rally with two men out, scoring five runs and taking the game nine to seven. The Giants made a game try in their half of the ninth but could only get one tally across. Duncan was hurt in this inning in a collision and retired from the game. Wickwire was charged with defeat, going to the mound in the ninth with the score tied and two perched on the sacks but defeat was really due to Walter Ball's poor twirling and his inability to locate the plate, six passes putting the Giants in an awful hole.

His reasons why he will not fight back man, at least from his point of view, are sane and logical, the thinking element in our race agrees in the main with what says. The public have taken prize fighting too seriously; they have let the winning or losing of a fight sway their prejudices; they have taken prize fighters out of the class where they belong and have made idols of them. The erroneous opinion gained currency that our race held up our champion as a little god. We did, only in the same degree that the white race held up their would-be champions. More or less bitter feeling has been engendered between the races on account of this brutal sport that is so fast dying out.

The object this commission is to induce closer commercial relations between country and Latin-America, a very friendly and laudable object, though one that it would hardly seem necessary to exploit if America had only been alive to the situation. Perhaps there is a reason why this country has been a little ahead in its advances toward these neighboring countries. The role of Latin-America ethnologically are very little different from Afro-American of this country. They have Indian blood in veins; so have we. They have African blood in their veins; save we. They have European blood in their veins; so have we. It is only a difference in degree. If these peoples were in America they would all be classed as Negroes. The United States cannot expect to succeed in establishing friendly relations or gain commercial growth and influence in Latin America until they have rightly and forever settled the race problem in this country, and further the Anglo-Saxon will continue to borrow trouble throughout the world just so long as they exploit their claim of superiority over other groups of dark-skinned people. It might be well for them to consider that the eastern hemisphere is about equally divided in race groups and the Anglo-Saxon Teutons are not the heirs outside of the United States and British America. We have our Monroe doctrine, and it is respected, but we should never forget that other countries have their doctrines, which should also be respected. The Pan-American Commission can learn a great many things about this country besides the financial condition, if they but keep their eyes and ears open. AFTER SCHOOL DAYS WHAT THEN? AS JUNE IS THE MONTH OF ROSES so too is it the month of budding aspirations of young graduates, who come forth from the various institutions of learning viewing life from the top of the world. They will fit into the scheme of things entire according to the mentality and energy they display in the future. Perhaps the saddest part of commencement from the student's point of view is the parting of classmates. Friendships have been formed that have grown with the school years and affections sprung up so sweet and pure that time can never efface. Only comparatively few of the countless thousands who will be given their ribbon tied archment know the field of endeavor they will be plunged into. ers will paddle their little craft out into the deep with the hope ling a safe harbor in the storm. No one can foresee the future. The boy or girl who made the school record, who was slated to rise to great heights, may an utter failure of life, while the plodder rings wealth and CHICAGO DEFENDER of the survival of the fittest. The past few years the schools are teaching the use of hands and head jointly, and it is the only method. There is no room for drones. Everyone must work, and our duties are so varied something suitable can be found for all. Never before has there been such a demand for young people in responsible positions. Corporations, banks and business houses realize youth puts new life into business and results are what they are after. It is right and proper that the graduate should go forth with the feeling of a king who has come to conquer or die in the attempt, and we welcome them into the fold, for they must be our torch bearers.

When the season of unemployment comes on it is the drifter who is the first to be let go. The man with established reputation for sobriety and industry is always the chosen man. Such a reputation is a more valuable asset than any other a man can possess, whether he be in big business or only an employee. As true as great oaks from little acorns grow, small beginnings often make big endings. The most substantial business enterprise had a humble beginning. John D. Rockefeller started as an errand boy in a country grocery store. Lincoln rose from a hewer of wood to the Presidency of this great Republic. We sometimes feel that we are handicapped because avenues of employment that we think we are fitted for are closed to us, and the weaker ones among us give up and fall by the wayside, forgetting it only requires brains, energy and determination to raise any calling to a high plane. For years we as a race have drifted, knowing not just what we wanted, and as drifters were compelled to accept anything that fell our way. Today we are beginning to find ourselves dropping in little niches in life's cogwheel, and becoming part and parcel of the great scheme of things. We are progressing, and learning work. Good, conscientious work means success. Driftwood only clogs the stream. If you can't keep the pace step aside and make way for those who can. A VOICE FROM TEXAS.

Yet we hear real smart, intelligent white men say that they are not in favor of our wives, daughters and intelligent women doing the same thing. Funny, isn't it?" A great suffrage argument this, and yet we should not expect more from such a source. Intelligent men differ on the questions of woman's rights as they do on every other important subject, and their objections are not based on the assumption that women have not equal brain capacity with men. There is a certain atmosphere about the gentler sex that seems sacred and most men are loathe to see them lose it, as they surely will if they dabble in politics as carried on in this day and time. One but needs to look at the caliber of men who wield political power to feel ashamed that they were in any way instrumental in putting them in office. It matters not to what party they belong, the motto still lingers, "To the victor belongs the spoils." The so-called "silk stockings," whose vote and voice could aid materially in changing these conditions, feel it beneath them to enter the fight, knowing that the mud throwing brigade stop at nothing to gain their point. Perhaps the women can purify politics. A number of states are going to give them the chance, at least, and if they fail they have done nothing more than have the men. Our friend from Texas, if he will but stop and give the matter a moment's consideration, won't think it so funny that Afro-Americans vote and perfectly white ladies are denied this privilege.

A great many of our well-to-do men might make mental note of this. It might soften their heart and open up their purse strings. While the race possesses no great horde of wealthy men, it is a significant fact that those who are supplied liberally with this world's goods are in the main the last to give to any deserving charity. When funds were solicited for the building of our Y. M. C. A. how many names of people who are reputed to be beyond the cry of the wolf could be found on the list? Comparatively few, and some defaulters even went so far as to register a protest against the project. Fortunately, the spirit of construction is fast replacing the spirit of destruction, and we can hope for better results in the future. We are learning to boost and not knock, to patronize our own and to encourage by patronage the employment of our young men and women in stores owned by members of the other race. We must not forget, however, that it is not necessary to wait until Christmas time to aid a worthy person or a worthy cause. Start right now; the value of a dollar depends a great many times upon circumstances. Most of us have seen the time when a little help at the right time would have made material difference in our future. The adage is old but true: "As we sow so shall we reap." OUR MUSIC.

It has been generally conceded that the only real American music was that of the Negro, and now comes along a gentleman of more or less authority who tells us that "Negro music is a misnomer," and claims to have traced all Negro songs back to English, Spanish and particularly French sources. The old ballads of these people which were in vogue at the time of settling in America were adapted, he says, transformed, Africanized by the slaves, and preserved in their new form long after the originals were forgotten. This theory on the face of it will not stand close scrutiny. It does not give credit to the race for the tunes as they exist now. Suppose, too, we had not been a musical race. Would we have ever taken over and made our own the music of the old masters? The Indians have no such group of songs to their credit, not even where they formed an overwhelming majority of the population. Mexican bands do not play Aztec music, and it is not of record that Peruvian audiences listen to Quichua variations on Spanish airs. Our friends in this glorious republic have robbed us of everything else they might at least spare us the musical field. "CHIEF" SAM and the Akim Trading Company, which sailed from Galveston early in 1914 as the announced forerunner of a "back to Africa" movement, on the good ship Liberia, is reported as having been picked up by an English cruiser and taken into Dakar, on the West African coast. Sam finally landed a little the worse for wear, but still in the ring. An anxious public is breathlessly awaiting the report of his investigations. Please, Mr. Chief, if you can't come back, at least drop us a postal. FROM NEW BERNE, N. C., comes the news that John H. Fisher, cashier of the defunct Mutual Aid Banking Company embezzled funds from that institution to the amount of $1,500, thereby aiding in wrecking said institution. We are certainly getting up in high circles and copying after the superior (?) race in a manner that is startling the nation. JUST WHO OWNS THE HIGH SEAS seems to be a hard nut for the powers to crack. The allies were under the impression that they did until Germany's submarines convinced them differently. Neutral America doesn't wish to be too persistent, but a note from Germany along that line would be greatly appreciated. MORE IMPORTANT TO CHICAGOANS was the street car strike than the war. For aught we know, Germany might have taken another Russian town with an unpronounceable name, and on the other hand, suppose she did, how could that piece of news comfort us when we were miles from home and no jitney in sight? THE DES MOINES CITY COUNCIL has come to the conclusion that it would be useless to pass ordinances having to do with discrimination or the suppression of the sale of cigarettes, as the state laws dealing with both propositions are deemed sufficient. The next question before the house is, Are these laws enforced? IF OUR PARKS weren't free everyone would be scrambling to get to them. Why not take advantage of them? The children especially should be taken out often and allowed to romp to their hearts' content. Do it today. JUNE HAS LOST ITS REPUTATION. If it isn't careful the powers that be will change the month for graduation and wedding bells will not be heard before cool weather sets in. A hint to the wise, etc. WE TOLD YOU SO! William J. Bryan is down on the summer bills for more speech-making; it's just in him and must come out, that's all. THE STRIKE WAS ON, so every cuss who wished to get to town just piled right in a jitney bus, or else just hoofed it down. Notice the poetry? STILL, EVEN IF THE WEATHER DOES STAY COOL fish bite occasionally, and seeing business is at a standstill, why not take the day off and try your luck. THIS FINANCIAL DEPRESSION that is sweeping all over the country may not be due to the Democratic party, but they will have a hard time trying to explain that. THE CITIZENS HAVE SHOWN to the street car and "L" men that they are amply able to take care of themselves in the person of the "jitney"—the dark horse in the race to the loop. LUCKY WAS THE MAN whose home and business were close together during those memorable strike days. THRIFT IS A VIRTUE WHICH KNOWS NO COLOR LINE. Prohibition and Jim Crowism BY Z. WITHERS "Jim Crowism" and prohibition, the tendencies of these new forces, seem to increase instead of diminish. Their relationship to political parties is of much interest to you and I. The tendency of the present Democratic administration is toward both prohibition and "Jim Crowism." The effort to get votes today by those who seek office is manifestly the inclination to follow popular clamor. The bidding for the vote is equal to the struggle in commercial rivalry. Not necessities are questions, principle which a candidate has to bear but rather that which will appeal to popular clamor and secure for him common sanction of the voters at the ballot box. --- In this manner public questions become not the philosophy of good government, but rather the means to a selfish end, and that he is shrewd, cunning, sly and dishonest often succeeds as a public preference, rather than sober honesty, which can neither scheme nor employ a falsehood. Thus it becomes plain to us why the abuses of government become so common and ordinary, and why it is difficult to secure legislation in the common interest of all, or that our laws are a "compromise between right and wrong." --- Men who seek office are fighting for votes, and not for great principles. Can we wonder at makeshift laws and freak attempts at legislation when the federal public service carries with it the shallowness of extraordinary lying? * * * Prohibition, for it is popular to charge all lilies of the nation to the cup of Bacchus, "Jim Crowism," because it requires a little effort and courage to be a man, think as a man should, and act the man's part in our social intercourse with the world. When we say social intercourse we have no meaning of a man or a woman sitting in your home or parlor with common gossip and laughter, enjoying the comforts of your home. Distinctly not the comforting living in common thought of the world. The theory of prohibition and "Jim Crowism" is inconceivable, except as Art and Intellect Appreciation and Sympathy Workers and That Work By G. P. PROCTOR KNOWLEDGE. Knowledge is the best glass in the world. Ignorance, the lack of knowledge, lies in distorted views of life and their results, prejudice, the lack of fellowship and understanding, and for any who so desire to acquire knowledge. There are schools, libraries and reading rooms at the disposal of all. The magazine *The New York Times* tells the world to the very doors. The very air seems to be teeming with the germs of knowledge. Who knows that all counterparts, allies and prototypes—organisms having similar attributes, designs, meanings and purpose. We "Jim Crow" a citizen just as much with prohibition as we do with separate coach laws. We say by prohibition that a citizen cannot enjoy a certain liberty—the use of alcoholic stimulants; and again we say that another citizen cannot enjoy certain fundamental liberty granted by the consti- tution, not that he is not a citizen, but because he does not want him to have it. We do not base justice upon a principle in this instance, but mere numerical forces. . . . Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and North Carolina carry state-wide prohibition and state-wide "Jim Crowism." It becomes popular to hold office in the South by advocating prohibition and "Jim Crowism," but tendencies in the North to be popular through favorite trespass upon common rights of citizenship grows under that popular tuition. "Jim Crowism" and prohibition make it a crime for a citizen to exercise his civil rights within certain jurisdictions. The United States government licenses liquor to be sold in all amendments. Also constitutional amendments guarantee elective franchise. "Jim Crowism" and prohibition make these sacred rights null and void. ```markdown ``` We oppose prohibition as a part of "Jim Crowism," which contravenes our rights under constitutional laws. We cannot build up freedom by destroying constitutional liberty of the people. Justice can never be propitiated unless the sacrifice of its sacred treasure. We cannot build up prohibition as we are "Jim Crowism," as they oppose common justice and natural liberty, ultimately tending to foster crime and lawlessness because of illegal tendencies. Both are designated as vote catchers in the hands of crafty and shrewd politicians, and innocent, honest people are made the tool of this dragon of hell, who will withhold justice from those who are as long as they refuse to believe in honesty, morality and justice of their own. ignorant man cannot know. He can appreciate and enjoy things that mean but not the intellectual person. To the ordinary man the flowers are fragrant and pretty, no power behind them, and who has deep interest in them, they are the inspiration thoughts. It is the same with the stars. It is the sweet song of the bird and all nature's marvels. They give that luxurious feeling and inspirations only to the mind of depth. Power also comes to the man and do so because they know.

Washington St. Randolph 3751 [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] Calling the Doctor--Till the Doctor Comes--Injury--Shock. This is the season of the year and the time that many accidents occur. Perhaps there will always be accidents; perhaps there will always be imperfection in human knowledge. We live in the midst of careless, reckless people who disregard the safety and health of other people. We live in the midst of people, in the crowded, congested streets, who do not know cross the street, the side to the other of the street—those careless and thoughtless and who go along our crowded thoroughfares without ever thinking of or looking out for the approach of danger or who are not on their guard about injuring others. Automobiles, wagons, street cars and other vehicles make it imperative that one should be vigilant and careful and observe the rules governing street conduct if you would avoid injuring cars and guard your own safety and life. In Case of Accident: When an accident occurs call the doctor immediately, but do not send out a half dozen people in as many different directions to call the doctors in every neighborhood because you are excited. When you have been able to reach the first physician on the 'phone inform him that the call is urgent and when he informs you that he will call at once, or as soon as he possibly can, cancel at once all the calls that you have sent out for other physicians. If you have three or four doctors respond to a call at your home you are morally and legally bound to respond to your call—not only a necessary fee, but an extra fee on account of it being an emergency call. Doctors have a right and should charge—and, where the people are able, collect—an extra fee for emergency calls during his office hours when he is rushed out to neglect other calls, to respond to your urgent emergency call. You cannot make an excuse that you got another doctor and that the first comes is the first one you will pay. It is your duty to pay each one that responds to your call. Remembrance of doctors are busy men and that their services are valuable. Some people send out a fire alarm and in doctors promiscuously because they have nothing and are irresponsible, and with such people it is no use to take them into court in an endeavor to collect the bill. Till the Doctor Comes. Tell the Doctor Comes. There are things that you can do to make an injured person comfortable and the doctor comes. If he has a bruised arm, ankle, wrist or leg place the injured arm, leg or most comfortable position. A sprained hand or wrist is more comfortable in a sling, elevated. A sprained or bruised ankle is more comfortable elevated, resting on a chair or sofa, with easy pads or pillow under it. You cannot ever pull an injured leg, shoulder, arm, ankle or wrist until you are certain as to the nature of the injury. In case of a broken leg or arm the part should be straightened and placed in the most comfortable position, neatly bandaged with support to keep the parts in place until the doctor comes. To the injured member, if it is a broken arm or leg will to apply very hot cloths or well dampened wool will control the pain and swelling till the doctor comes. If the member is broken, in addition to the comfortable position, support and bandage of the parts it would be well to apply cold to the fractured bone, such as an ice bag or crushed ice in a towel. Apply cold in the most easy manner until the doctor comes. Do not give whisky, beer, gin or rum except upon the advice of the physician. Shock. For our purpose we will consider that shock is a profound, vital impression or depression of the nervous system due to emotion, but more often to an injury. Degrees of Shock—It may be slight, transitory in character, and it may be fatal and in character. With shock the nervous and prostrate, immobility or restlessness and exertion. The pulse is slow, feeble, sometimes entirely absent with the wrist. The body is covered with a profuse perspiration; skin cold and clammy; eyes dull and lustrous; mucous membrane pale and lifeless; breathing slow, sighting in character. The individual When you find all or a principal part of these symptoms you are dealing with what is known in medical parlance as shock. OHICAGO, JUNE 19, 1915 DR. A. WILBERFORCE WILLIAMS TALKS ON Preventive Measures First Aid Remedies Hygienics and Sanitation NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES Now we get shock in railway accidents, automobile accidents, by firearm accidents, electrical shock, by gasoline, kerosene or other explosives, worse bleeding of cuts, lacerations of blood vessels in crushing injuries. What to Do Till the Doctor Comes. One thing is certain: The condition outlined above demands immediate intelligent attention. Do not crowd about the afflicted person. Give him the attention he once gave him in the most comfortable position, with his head a little elevated, and send for the doctor. The Degrees of Shock. Collapse will depend largely upon the individual's characteristics and as to the part of the body injured. One person being stronger than another would not be so likely to succumb to shock as a weaker individual. In shock death may occur immediately. When you have an anxious, disoriented person on the face, trembling in limbs, coughing, and feeble circulation, sight breathing, apply warmth to extremities—to feet, legs and arms, and over the region of the heart apply hot water bag or hot plate, and also apply hot over the abdomen. In other words, apply plenty of artificial heat and at the same time allow plenty of fresh air to circulate in the room. Exclude all onlookers from the room and allow the patient of the patient. Give one-half teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia in hot sweetened water every 15 or 30 minutes; small cup of coffee, beet tea or hot milk might be given. If the limb is crushed it should be wrapped in warm wet cloth, and if the part is torn off do not act foolish and throw it away, but keep it in a wet, normal, salt dressing until the doctor comes. Do not dangle or be twisted. Do not move an injured person from the floor to the bed until the doctor comes, for you might do great harm to the most vital part. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Divorce—Conviction of Felony. To The Defender's Legal Department—My husband was convicted of a felony in the state of Indiana about three months ago when he was married again in Illinois. My former husband annoys me by saying that I am still his wife under the laws of this state and that he intends to prosecut me for bigamy because he tells me that we have never been legally separated. Please advise me as to the law in this case. Answer: The general rule is that the domicile of the husband is also the domicile of the wife. When your husband was convicted of a felony his domicile ceased and determined by the act of the law and you were left without a home. If the records of the state of Indiana show that he was convicted of a felony in that state, in an action for a divorce in this state you would be able to obtain a legal separation. Also, proof of a conviction of a felony in another state is a good defense to a charge of bigamy committed in this state. Disposition of Property and Money After Death of Owner. In reply to your question as to whether or not the person who was left $2,000 worth of property could be made to pay the one who was left $35 out of the proceeds of this property, beg to say that from the facts you have stated we are unable to determine whether this transaction arose out of a bequest by will, gift cause morris, or whether it was left in trust for the use and benefit of the parties in question; we will venture to say, property in question was expressly deferred to the payment of this $35 by the will of the testator the devisee will not be bound.
