The latter part of next month there will be stopping on the West Side with friends distinguished visitors, in the persons of Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Wragg of Atlanta, Ga. They will be on the West Side visiting the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Dr. Wragg is of the agents of the American Bible Society, with offices in South Atlanta. He is one of the prominent ministers of the schoolhouse Episcopal church, a member of the Atlanta conference of that denomination.
The Chicago Guards were out on parade Sunday with their very excellent band. After their commendable showing here they left for the South Side to show similar organizations over to walk just how just they turn out. Children must be excused were held at Fulton Street. We are here daily morning, under the direction and training of Mrs. Hopson and Miss Lacy.
The fourth Sunday in July will be a great day at Providence Baptist church, according to the plans and anticipations of the pastor, Dr. Boston J. Prince, and his wide-awe congregation. The day may propose that the day not less than $1,000 on church indebtedness. Special music will be planned for the services of the day. Sister churches will be invited to worship with Providence and render them aid, but Dr. Prince says the members will not depend on assistance to get the amount desired. Sunday night one young man connected with Providence. Provident church. Money raised for all proposes Sunday amounted to about $70.
A company of little 'fellows who attend St. Stephen's A. M. E. church has been formed under the name of the "Primrose and West Refined Comme Minstrel Company," to give an old-time minstrel show at that church Tuesday evening, June 29. An admission fee will be charged. It is for the church. Mrs. De Cour丹er is in charge. Rev. B. U. Tayor, mastor.
Dr. H. M. Carroll, pastor of Fulton Street M. E. church, is working hard to install the new financial system authorized by the last General Conference. By this new system more money is raised for church work and there is less talk about money at church services. It is a big advance step in church administration and will in the long run meet with the hearty approval of the membership. Dr. Armstrong received notice of his appointment as examining physician in the city schools. This is a meritorious recognition of a worthy man's ability, and Dr. Armstrong's friends are congratulating him on every hand. He is one of our prominent and successful physicians and churchmen. His office is at 1924 W. Lake street.
The weather permitting, there will be given at Lincoln Park this Saturday in honor of the birthday of Mrs. Burns of 1948 Walnut street, the repetition of a drama by young people, which was recently at St. Stephen's M. E. church.
General Secretary, men here claim that the strike cut down the volume of their patronage, and they have not recovered as yet from this effect. This will teach them a lesson—that the business man must, as far as possible, be fortified against like depressions in business by savings upon which he can draw until trade resumes its normal course again.

MILES BROOKS IS SHOT DOWN IN LOOP STORE
Well-Known Citizen, Watchman for Wabash Avenue Music Store, Instantly Killed While on Duty Sunday Night.
SHOT IN BACK OF HEAD.
Police A Baffled by Mysterious Killing—Victim Man of Splendid Character—Funeral Services at Olivet Baptist Church Thursday.
The mysterious assassination of Miles Brooks, who for the past ten years has been employed by the Wurlitzer Company, on Sunday night, June 20, was a terrible shock to his many friends and to one of the most baffling cases ever handled by the Chicago police department.
The tragedy took place in the Wurlitzer Company's store at 329 South Wabash avenue sometime around 9 o'clock, and as no attempt was made at robbery by the murdered or murderers, the police are at a complete loss for a tangible theory, inasmuch as the victim was a man whose personality and character were such that any idea of personal empathy would seem unreasonable to anyone knowing him.
Story of the Killing.
The story of the crime, as complete as could be gathered, follows:
Miles Brooks relieved the day watchman at 6 o'clock and found three mechanics repairing the elevator. These men had been working all day and were to have completed their work by working during Sunday night. At 8:30 they left the store to go to a nearby restaurant for supper, and then knocked at the door they received no reply. They waited around, thinking that Mr. Brooks was most likely on one of the upper floors, or had probably stepped out for a lunch. Mr. Eull, the manager of the concern, was to leave at 11:40 for Cincinnati to attend a board of directors' meeting, and then to get some papers which he had off there on Saturday. After knocking and receiving no response they entered with the manager's night key and found the body lying in a passageway leading to the shipping room. Beside the body lay three revolvers, one of which was the watchman's, which had Harrison & Richards, which had Harrison & Richards, which had the numbers all filed off, and an automatic. An empty shell from the latter, which was found near the body, indicates that it was a shot from this that caused the victim's death, and bloody finger marks on a rear door would indicate that. at least the door was fired by Mr. Brooks had been effective.
Miles Brooks was a trusted employee, and the officials of the company speak in the highest terms of him, and have indicated their intentions to go the limit in clearing the mystery.
Member of Olivet Church.
The funeral was held at Olivet Baptist Church at 10:30 Thursday. Mr. Brooks has been a member of this church or years and was an official school counselor a class in the same. He has always been known to be a true Christian, and with his wife had formed one of the hardest working teams connected with Olivet. He was also a prominent member of the Foresters. He was 45 years of age. Aside from the widow, Mrs. Bobble Brooks, the relatives who attended the last sad rites were Mr. Brooks three times at Lake Forest, Mrs. Lottie Caston of St. Paul and Mrs. Martha Smith; Leucaonia Huey, and Richard Beechamp, his brother-in-law. Mr. Linnie Alexander, for years a close friend of the family, had charge of the arrangements at the Brooks residence at 4546 Evans avenue.

No Dissenting Voice in Opinion—Court Brushes Aside All Flimsy Arguments, and Going to the Root of the Matter Gives the Afro-American His Constitutional Rights
Special to The Chicago Defender.
Washington, D. C., June 25. The Oklahoma constitutional "grandfather clause," restricting the Negro vote, was annulled as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States.
Chief Justice White announced the decision, holding that it was a violation of the fifteenth amendment to select an arbitrary date, such as 1866, in exiging the qualification of voters. The decision, it is believed, will reach the "grandfather clause" legislation in many southern states.
Another line of argument was that the clauses did not "deny" or "abridge" the right of Negroes to vote, as forbidden by the fifteenth amendment, but it merely discriminated against them by allowing those not Negroes to vote without meeting the qualifications imposed ostensibly upon all. The Supreme Court brushed these ingenuous arguments aside and, going direct to the core, held the grandfather clause as invalid, being "wolitive of the Fifteenth amendment of the constitution."
For more than fifteen years the "grandfather clause" has been inserted in constitutions of southern states. The most popular form has been the "grandfather clause" property tests for women who could vote in 1866, 1867, or 1868, thus allowing the tests to apply to those who did not vote at those dates.
The Oklahoma Idea.
The Oklahoma grandfather clause provides "that no person shall be registered as an elector in this state or be allowed to vote in any election" and provides "that no person shall write any section of the constitution of the State of Oklahoma, but no person who was on January 1, 1866, or any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time resided in some foreign nation, and no linear descendant of such person shall be denied the right to vote" of his inability to so read and write sections of such constitution."
In Maryland the clause was inserted in laws governing elections in all cities. In 1908 it was inserted in the law governing municipal elections in the city of Annapolis. Authorized by the state of Maryland, all taxpayers of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of naturalized citizens 21 years of age, and "all citizens who before Jan. 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the state of Maryland or any other state of the United States and the lawful male descendant of them prior to Jan. 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or in any other state of the United States at a state election."
Various Arguments Advanced.
Various arguments were advanced to meet the attack that these clauses violated the fifteenth amendment of the constitution, providing that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude."

The Oklahoma Idea.
Another line of argument was that the clauses did not "deny" or "abridge" the right of Negroes to vote, as forbidden by the fifteenth amendment against them by allowing not Negroes to vote without meeting the qualifications imposed ostensibly upon all. The Supreme Court brushed these ingenuous arguments aside and, going direct to the core, ruled that the amendment invalid, being violative of the fifteenth amendment of the constitution.
Effect of Decision.
The effect of the decision is far-reaching. It sounds the death-knell of the notorious attempts of state legislatures to overrule the policy not only of a superior legislative power, but of the Nation itself.
"To hold otherwise," said the Court, "would be placing the seal of approval upon a mere form of words to make a part mighter than the whole." Superiors have to find the United States Supreme Court unanimous against these infamous methods of depriving the Afro-American of his suffrage rights.

rist, the only one who is known to have the gift from birth of growing your hair. She treats the scalp by impressions, thoroughly diagnoses the scalp, and uses her wonderful Jockey Process.

So confident is she of this wonderful gift that God has given her of growing your hair, she offers $100 in gold to anyone proving Jockey Process to fall to grow your hair after directions are followed. Knowing that all gifts from God are perfect, she is perfectly confident in telling you that she can and will grow your hair if given a trial.

QUINN CHAPEL
The pastor preached a special sermon to children on last Sunday morning. He selected his text from Eccles. 11:1-12, "Childhood and youth are vanity. Remember now thy Creator in the day of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." His sermon was timely and instructive. He admonished the church to come in closer relationship with the Sunday school and exert more energy in training the child in the way that it should go both in the home and in the school and the children to place their thoughts on God and things that are profitable and elevating. At night Mr. A. S. Jackson, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and three other representatives of the Y. M. C. A. presented their cause to the congregation, explaining their work and soliciting members and friends. A number of men pledged themselves to join and quite a number of both men and women showed sympathetic interest. Dr. Gregg, president of Edward's Waters College, sang, a beautiful solo, and Prof. A. S. Jackson, secretary of education; A. M. E. church, of Waco, Texas, made interesting remarks. Dr. Anderson complimented the Y. M. C. A. upon its opportunity for useful service in elevating and christening
the men of the race. The cloak is showing marked improvement which is a result of the congregation. Prof. Morris, organist and lead singer of the band, is a very helpful member to the cloak.
SPIRITUALIST CHURCH OF REDEMPTION OF SOULS.
Sunday at the Spiritualist church was a day of unusual interest. Rev. Booth, the assistant minister, discoursed in the morning on "Spiritual Demonstration," which proved a genuine revelation to the large audience present. At the afternoon service the meeting was led by Mrs. Dixon; it was of the symposium character and many wonderful achievements were recorded as the result of spiritual adherence. Spiritualism was shown conclusively to be the most progressive and inspiring form of worship yet embraced, based wholly on the principles of the Golden Rule, with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. The pastor, Rev. Thurman, very ably compared the two forms of worship, and declared that communication with God's angels could be the great pleasure and high privilege of every minister in Chicago if they would but put themselves in the hands of God, as did the prophets of old.
At the evening service the hall was crowded to overflowing. Rev. Booth again gave to his hearers a spiritual feast that stirred each soul to a deep resolve to live upon this plane with high purposes as whenever grim death called, that they would only fall asleep to live again. Mrs. Bristol and Mrs. Thurman gave some very convincing tests, which did every mind of the doubt of spirit return. Next Sunday afternoon a special meeting for men will be held. Mrs. Julia Johnson, the official oracle of the church, is greatly improved and will be found at her post of duty next Sunday. Everybody welcome free.

DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS
Municipal Court Judges
Our attention has been repeatedly called to the treatment of persons charged with misdemeanors and crimes during the trials or hearings of the city branch Municipal courts of Chicago. Our representative was requested to make a special study of the conditions as charged in the different complaints and his report shows that the city commission domesticated by petty court officers, and in some instances the judges themselves show no respect whatever for the citizens, who pay them their salaries nor do they at times seem to realize that the citizens have any whatever they are bound to respect.
A party was brought before a certain branch of the Municipal Court several days ago, charged with disobeying a law requiring a woman of light complexion, having been arrested by a colored officer, and the complaining witness was a colored cab driver. The judge immediately ordered that she be white, or white, and if she was married to a colored man, to which she replied that she was. The judge then asked her was she drunk when she married her husband. He said she was not. He then asked her if she loved her husband, to which she replied yes. Think of such conversation in a court of justice, where justice is to be maintained. Again the clerks compel prisoners to sign their jury warrants by telling them that if they don't they will be sent to the North Side. Such conduct is not permitted in the court's mites and the judges themselves should not be entrusted with the disposition of the rights and liberties of human beings. They are not noticed that some of the judges are at times in a very mildly and every discharger is either fined, sentenced or discharged regardless what the offense and such judge is charged with, selected when his term has expired.
It was called to our attention that two cases very similar were before the same judge, one a white woman with a brown hair, one a one-colored woman with a child, and one woman was paroled because she had the child in her arms and the judge said that he did not wish to see the Brieweil; but the colored woman was paroled and the well and the child in her arms also. We call attention of our readers to visit the various court rooms and observe the conduct of trials by the court. The court time arrives each individual informed as to the best, most fair and honest judges and the ones who ought to be re-elected again, as well as the court ought to be defeated as being unfair against and not fit to sit on the bench.

WOMEN OF RACE FIGHTING AGAINST BIRTH OF NATION
Infamous Play Has Stirred the Women of the East and They Continue to Show Their Disappreciation of Such a Film.
(Special to Chicago Defender.)
Boston, Mass., June 25—The women of the race of city have not resisted the challenge to their disappreciation for such a film, "Birth of the Nation" film. Against odds they have fought like brave soldiers to show their disregard and utopian disappreciation for such a film, the same spirit that manifested the abolitionists to fight slavery is causing them to fight Tom Dixon Griffin and their class of race haters. The film that to stop would mean to "lay down" and approve of the play. "We intend to fight as long as this play shows," said one of the leading women in the active part in the defence of Afro-American womanhood. Every night it is reported that hundreds of women are assembled in the theater for the determination of the mayor will stop the play.

Election of Bishop Hurst of Baltimore as Secretary Arouses Ire of Bishop Flipper of Atlanta, Ga., Who Calls Action Insult, and Leaves Meeting.
NORTH AGAINST SOUTH.
Sectional Bugaboo Will Not Down-
Fight to Be Carried to Quadrillea
Election of Officers in June, 1916.
(Special to the Chicago Defender.)
Wilberforce, Ohio, June 25—The
bishops' council of the A. M. E.
Church met in annual session here at
the close of the commencement exercis
es of Wilberforce University. The
bishops' council is composed of all the
bishops of the connection. All of the
bishops were present except Bishop
J. Albert W. H. Heard of West Africa
Both of these bishops were detained
because of the war in Europe.
Vacancies on Board.
The death of Bishop H. M. Turner of Atlanta, Ga., who was the senior bishop and president of the board of bishops, caused Bishop B. F. Loe, D. D., of Wilberforce, Ohio, to become next in seniority. Bishop Lee has for many years been the secretary. His becoming president caused a vacancy in the secretaryship. Bishop J. S. Flipper, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., was assistant secretary, and as such many become the secretary till the quadrennial election of officers of the council in June, 1916. The bishops met and Bishop C. S. Smith of Detroit, Mich., urged that the place of secretary be meeting. A ballot was had and Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore was elected.
Slap at Southern Wing.
Bishop J. S. Flipper took this as being a slap at the southern wing of the church and walked out of the council. He was followed by Bishop W. D. Chapelle of Columbia, S. C., who is the presiding bishop over Arkansas Oakahoma, and Bishop J. M. Conner of Oklahoma, and Bishop over Mississippi and Louisiana. These bishops were surrounded by a host of ministers and laymen from all sections of the South, who urged them to make one more effort to unite the body of sectionalism was the cause of the tuning down of Bishop Flipper of Atlanta.
Dissenters Go Home
A committee of bishops waited on Bishop Flipper at the residence of President Scarborough of the university the next day and he was persuaded to wait on the action of the council June 18. The morning session of the council was taken up entirely in the discussion of the matter, and the bishops decided that if Bishop Flipper sign a statement to the effect that the bishops had a right to elect at this time Bishop Hust would decline the election. Bishop Flipper serve. Bishop Flipper serve the Bishop Flipper serve and the southern bishops walked out and took the train for their respective homes.
Personnel o'f Council.
The council is made up of the following bishops: Bishop B. F. Lee, Wilberforce, Ohio; Bishop B. T. Tanner, Philadelphia; Bishop C. T. Snuffer, Chicago; Bishop B. B. Parks, Chicago; Bishop Bans Ytsee, Nashville; Bishop L. J. Coppin, Baltimore; Bishop Joshua Turner, Liberport, Ohio; Bishop C. S. Smith, Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore; Bishop J. S. Flapper, Atlanta; Bishop W. D. Chapple, Columbia, S. C.; Bishop J. M. Coyner, Little Rock, Ark.
While the larger number of the bishops live in the sections above the Mission and Dixon line, more than four-fifths of the membership of the church are in the southern state, and many of the northern and eastern bishops are presumably possibly to bring the southern wind to the church under subjection to them.
Memorial Presented.
A delegation of southern ministers waited on the bishops and presented the following memorial:
"To the Bishops of the A. M. E. Church: The death of Right Rev H. M. Turer has brought much sadness to the hearts of the African Methodist Episcopal Church throughout the connection.
"In accordance with the orders of the council of bishops our churches are now draped in mourning and our membership is in sorrow on account of the loss of this great man. The death of Bishop Turer brought about change in the bishops' council, and Bishop N. L. Lee, who is the acting senior, became president and presiding bishop of the bench. A ceremony occurs in the secretaryship which we think should be filled by the assistant secretary, Bishop J. S. Flipper, to the close of the present quadrennium, unless it is found by his colleagues that he is incompetent for the place.
"We have learned with deep regret that your honorable body in selecting a secretary did not elect Bishop Flipper, which we believe is wrong, inasmuch that we have thousands of members throughout our church who believe that the lines of sectionalism are being more and more prominently drawn year after year, an evil which must be correct. We believe that most respectfully represent to it will be detrimental or injurious to the church if something is not done to correct the impress which this act appears to represent.

The Official of the "Solitary"
Mrs. Barnett Protests Against It
For more than fifty hours before he appeared before the coroner's jury Campbell had been in a "solitary" coll. The "solitary" is this: There is a little whitewashed cell. It has two doors, the outer one of oak two inches thick, the inner of steel bars. The man in "solitary" stands handcuffed to the steel door. The manacles are locked an inch or so higher than the arm extended from the shoulder. The prisoner looks directly in front of him at the blank oak door two feet ahead.
Although pale from confinement in theark, he appeared in good health. His answer, while given in an amous manner, at times were almost defiant. Several times he started to take issue with his questioners. Mrs. Barnett Protests.
Editor of the Herald: In common with thousands who have read of the horrible murder committed in Jolie penitentiary Sunday last, I have to tone down the amount given at the inquest now being held in an effort to find the murderer.
He stands in this way for two hours. A keeper then appears and the prisoner may rest for thirty minutes. Then he is shackled up again. From 6 o'clock in the morning until 8 at night this is kept up.
At night the man in "solitary" sleeps on a bare board six feet long and three wide.
Not a ray of filter filters through to him day or night. He is in absolute darkness.
Bread and water is his fare three times a day.
Simpson, Cohn and George Edwards also have been undergoing this treatment. Several times they have been dragged at night from their title case and moved to valleys of sharp questions. Back to their lonesome cells they go after each ordeal, there to be alone with their consciences. Campbell has felt this grind more than the rest of his life; his stories have grown in strength. Prison officials will not admit more stringent methods than the "solitary" have been used on "Chicken Joe." Physical force, they say, is taboo in the prison. Campbell has been physically mistreated his appearances be it.

"Rev. J. J. Morant, presiding older Vicksburg district, Vicksburg, Miss." Preparing for Flight.
It is predicted that the southern wing of the church will go to the next general conference and by force of numbers take every office and elect enough bishops from the South to take complete charge of the church. The election of Bishop Hurst is declared to be the result of a well-lit plan. Dr. J. Robinson of Arkansas, a predeceased brother of president of the consecration council, went to Bishop Chappelle at Atlanta, Ga., while attending the senior bishop's funeral, while Bishop Turner was in his coffin and lying in state at the church, and told him that he heard two bishops in conversation and that one of them remarked: "Now we will have the opportunity to displace Bishop Flipper from the secretaryship, and we can bring about the election of Bishop Hurst of Baltimore." And true to the rule of South Carolina prelate by Dr. Robinson, Bishop Hurst was elected.
THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
Although pale from confinement in the dark, he appeared in good health. His answers, while given in an anxious manner, at times were almost defiant. Several times he started to take issue with his questioners. Mrs. Barnett Protests. Editor of *The Daily Mail*. In common with thousands who have read of the horrible murder committed in Joliet penitentiary Sunday last, I have followed the testimony given at the inquest now being held in an effort to find the murderer. All shoulder to soilder to soild a deed could be committed within the prison walls, but I write to ask if one more terrible is not now taking place there in the name of justice, and if there is not enough decent human effort to kill it, give it and give "Chicken Joe" a chance to prove whether he is innocent or guilty.
The papers say he has been confined in solitary fifty hours, hands chained straight out before him and then brought in to the inquest, then brought out to the inquest, then confesses a crime that he may have committed. Is this justice? Is it humanity? Would we stand to see a dog treated in such fashion without protest? I know we would not. Then why will not the justice-loving, lawbiding citizens put a stop to this barbarism? Negro Fellowship League will send a lawyer there tomorrow and we ask that your powerful journal help us to see that he gets a chance to defend "Chicken Joe" and give him an opportunity to prove whether he is innocent. DA B. WELLS-BARNETT, Representing Negro Fellowship League.

Detroit Citizen Riding In Street Car
Protects Women From Insult—Others
Should Emulate His Action
When Occasion Demands.
Detroit, Mich., June 25 — Friday evening, June 18, Mr. D. C. Kirby boarded a Michigan Ave. car about 10:30 o'clock on route home. Among the occupants of the car were some white men, apparently intoxicated, who persisted in using profane language, a Miss Cannady (a graduate of the University of Michigan) on this particular car. Mr. Kirby took a manly stand and demanded that the men guilty of the above mentioned profane language discontinue same in behalf of the lady above mentioned. As a result Mr. Kirby received oral commendation from other occupants of the car and willing apology from the man. He was arrested a noteworthy incident, because it tells of an effective manifestation of race pride on the part of Mr. Kirby. *** Henry Briggs, one of Detroit's most respected citizens, after a brief illness, died at his home, 219 Candell Ave., East, at 3 o'clock Monday morning, June 21, 1915. He was well liked by the community and the public. He was also a member of the Mansion and was a Knight Templar as well. He was buried on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from his home and was given a military funeral. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, Mrs. Rachel Briggs, and a sister, Mrs. Dancey, of Bowling Green, KY, also many friends. Rev. N. L. Brady of Bowling Green, KY, died on Monday morning, June 20. His first sermon was "The Triumph of the Church." The attendance was large and were greatly benefited. **** The pastor of the Second Baptist church has installed a register giving complete information as to the location of the members of his church, so that anyone who wishes to see the church may find them by inquiring of the pastor, Rev.

COLOR LINE
MEXICO; RACE
MADE WELCOME
Only Redeeming Feature of rife-Ridden Republic Is the absence of Race Prejudice—fro-Americans Find No Color line.
Brange Contrast Between Native Hate for White Americans or "Gringoes" and Love for Darker Races.
The disturbed Republic of Mexico, with all its internecine strife, has one redeeming feature so far as the black man is concerned. There no prejudice on account of color exists. The black man is treated on perfect equality, and is presented in a community is welcomed almost to the degree of rejoicing. Not so, however, with the white man, if Mr. Floyd P. Gibbons, writing in the Chicago Tribune, tells the facts as they actually are.
The "gringoes," as the white people are called, are hated beyond measure by the Mexican. Politeness characterizes the Mexican's conduct towards Americans in their purity diplomatic聆ings, and in their contact with Americans on public occasions, but the gringo" hate is still there.
Origin of Term "Gringo."
The reason for this is found in history, and partly because of the business success of some Americans who have made fortunes in the Mexican republic. The origin of the term "gringo" dates back to the war between the United States and Mexico. According to the Mexico and United States soldiers who invaded the republic in 1845 wore uniforms in which the dominant color was green.
In the dispatches sent back by the Mexican soldiers who went to meet the invaders it was declared that the Americans had been put to flight. Consequently it was said of the soldiers in green that they had run. From this came the term "gringoes," or "green gorgo." It is still called "gringoes" about 5,000 American citizens located in the interior of Mexico today. They know what the "gringo" hate is. In their sojourn in the republic they have experienced it every day. Those same men know what it means to them if the United States suddenly decides to invade Mexico. Most of them have gray hairs from their experiences of a year ago when United States troops landed in Veracruz. (But you might
"But You Might Turn."
Illustrative of the feeling existent with the Mexican toward the "grin-goes" is this incident: Mrs. George C. Carrothers, wife of the United States state department representative, was talking to a 12-year-old Mexican boy in Torreone one day. The boy carried a rifle and cartridge belts, and a hat band showing he belonged to the brigade of General Chao. Mrs. Carrothers asked him if he didn't think he was too young to fight. He replied that he expected to be a grown-up soldier soon. "But the revolution will be over then," said Mrs. Carrothers.
/
"Then I can fight the 'ringoes,'" said the boy.
"We are your friends," said Mrs. Carrothers. "We have no fight between us. We are your brothers."
"Yes, but you might turn," said the boy.
The incident gives some idea of deep rooted the feeling is. It may be that good treatment and unselfish examples can overcome this hatred, but there are few American presidents to have belief that anything but years of association and education can eliminate it.
General Talks to Defender Reporter.
In strange contrast with these facts as reported by the Tribune's representative direct from the scenes in Mexico was the reported interview with General Felix Angeles, one of Villa's chief aids during his recent visit to Chicago. Having been taken to see the "Birth of a Nation," he was asked his opinion of it. He was made say that the black man in Mexico, s elsewhere, constantly stood as a menace to the country's development. He had praised the picture and suggested that the educational features would be effective in showing the Americans something of the volcanic conditions under which they lived during the days succeeding the war of the rebellion.

speaker of natural ability and has been termed a modern Fred Douglass. He has addressed the Negro Progressive League. His subject was "For the Good of Ethiopia." The speaker entered upon ethnological and historical ground with such scholarly precision, then to the Ethiopian Merve and to his fall and secession his capture by the white nations, and then launched so artfully into the main part of his address, speaking mainly of the West Indian and American Negro. How the poor Carib Indian was crushed under the yoke, the Negrstanding the oppression of the white man in the islands of the lesser" Antilles. The Afro-American through this triumphed; the Carib Indian is no more. He then pictured the Negrstanding, light commanding the world's highest admiration, and the aborigines of America an unprogressive residuum of the American Indian. He showed the good of oppression of a people and what it has done for the Afro-American; gave an example of the great caste system, never yet spoken of by any champion of the race; made an appeal for the defense of the virtue and honor of the women expressed the love of the West Indian Forces and closed with such a mastery and oratoryal flight as to command a request for a similar address in the near future.

DEFENDER'S READERS
The mails of the Chicago Defender are beginning to team with letters stating that readers of the paper are headed this way this summer. One among that number is Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore, who will tour here from Louisville, Ky., in his big touring car, accompanied by his wife and sister. Dr. Lattimore will attend the National Convention, and already he is being mentioned outside of national body. He is a graduate of Meharry Medical College and one of the most successful practitioners in the Falls City.
THOMAS A. BOGER
(Special to the Chicago Defender.)
Milwaukee, Wis., June 25—Thomas A. Boger, brother of Harry H. Boger, H. Boger, brother of Ruth Ruth, and Delphia Boger of Aurora, Ill., received his degree of M. D. from Marquette University June 17. Diplomas were awarded by Joseph Grimmelman, president of the university. Dr. Boger expects to visit Chicago soon, and his relatives at Aurora.
the Defender General Angeles, himself two-thirds Negro, expressed surprise that what he had said regarding the "Birth of a Nation" had been so misconstrued.
"My People Know No Prejudice."
"My people," he said, "know no prejudice. We live in our country on equal terms with all. Such a thing as I am is unknown to us, and I am surprised in the States. Our leading men in the army and in civil life are black men, and we resent any attempt on the part of Americans to introduce color prejudice in our country. In fact," he concluded, "the feeling of resentment, if there exists any against him in Mexico, is due to their persistent attempt to forewheel their color prejudice notions upon us."
EDITOR,S MAIL
The Great Fuss Over Leo Frank.
There has been many fuss made over Leo Frank than any one person I have ever heard of who was accused of murder. Everybody knows the only reason is because he was convicted upon the testimony of a Negro.
This American nation is truly a nation of hypocrites. All the white ministers, newspapers, clubs, lawyers and everybody with white faces are very sympathetic) all of a sudden. They are so afraid an innocent) man will be changed.
They always stopped to count how many innocent men, women and children have been burned, shot and lynched without being given a chance to deny their guilt?
This is an old story, well known to this whole nation. Even since Frank has been playing and seek in the courts many of my unfortunate race been lynched without even a protest from our own leading men and women.
I have kept up with this case simply because one of my race is implicated. Now, because of so many protests from all sources to save Frank, at last, just as I expected, they are going to shift the whole murder and everything connected with it on the ground.
I wonder if all the ten million Negro citizens of American which the race newspapers boast so much are going to let this be done without even one letter to the authorities of Georgia in favor of Conley. The Lord knows we have more organizations than any other race of people I know of. Five hundred thousand letters have been received by white people. Fifty-two daily newspapers have petitioned to save Frank.
I wonder what our ministers, our lodge, and clubs of all kinds are going to do. Some may say wait until Conley is brought to trial. But, believe me, if Frank is over freed and be late, he will be lynched before he could be brought to a trial. But I have said all along that had the authorities of Georgia not been sure of what they were doing they never would have indicted Frank. Now since they are being swayed by public opinion the colored people over the country should flood Georgia with lethal gas half, just as the white people have for Frank. Don't wait until the mischief is done, then hold indignation meetings and pass resolutions. Our people can get big crowds to elect presidents, governors, mayors and aldermen, but we will not spend an hour to save the neck of an incarnate man. Let us as a race create a sentiment against such discrimination, as we did in last April's election.
MRS. K. J. BILLS.
Defending the Working Class.
Detroit, Mich., June 20.—To the Editor: In your issue of May 29 you came out very boldly to defend the working class, and I have read very carefully subsequent numbers of your fearless publication, hoping to see some commendation, praise and praise among the many thousands of your forerunner for your wise and manly stand. In Detroit are many who are very indifferent to the working class. Indeed I may truthfully say there are many who appear ashamed of the wageearer, and preach, pray and dream of a time when there will be no manual labor performed by members of the race in America. Of course a great number of us now battling the problems of today will have passed away before the divine petitions are made, and the hope dreams" come true. Six thousand years of history offers no assurance that this ideal will ever be obtained. The divine decree, "In the sweat of your brow shall you eat bread," has not been revoked, though many are seeking to change it to "In the sweat of the other fellow's brow," etc. Men are working and will continue to work as long as seed time and harvest continue. Great, rich and powerful daily papers cater to the rich and influential patronage (business department), and bring good or evil as this interest dictates. A great praise for your course because of the fact that you are not free from attempts to "influence" your noble policies for mercenary considerations, and have instead made a paper true to its name, a defender of all the people. ALPHEUS A. POOLE.

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."

THEATRICAL REVIEW.
The Monogram.
The bill here this week is a good one, and is opened by Glenn & Glenn in a good singing, talking and dancing act. Galnes & Brown didn't show on Monday night on account of Brown's illness, Marshall & Criwell substituted and went well. Galnes & Brown were on Tuesday night and Galnes & Brown were on Wednesday. Watts, prima donna, sang well and received much merited applause. Lotie Grady is booked for this house next week.

Business continues good here and the bill the current week is a good one. Braxton & Nugent a clever team and put their stuff over in good style. Marjorie Lorainne, a clever singer and dancer, went well, and Brown & Pinkey in their twentieth count, repeated their former successes. Taken up one side and down the other, this was a well balanced bill.

The features presented, and the classy orchestra which is recognized as the best movie band in Chicago. Mr. Paul says "just announce for us that we will not let any opense interfere with the quality of pictures to be shown here," and judging from the show below, we are in the present week, we are forced to believe him: The Goddess, Her Own Way, Pathway from the Past, Romance of Elaine No. 1, The Celestial Code, Who Pays? The Burned Hand, Little Chrys, The Darkened Trail, Up from the Depths and Fine Feathers. The Reward, A Deal in Diamonds, Mother's Justice, and other features.

Among the attractions shown were Cora; Diamond from the Sky, No. 8; the five-reel sensation, Ghosts; God's Witness, a wonderful race track drama; William H. Crane in the Miracle of Wilfred Kingston in The Love Route. Sunday we have the great feature, The Millionaire Baby, and others.
The Grand.
Francis" Bushman and Beverly Bayne in Graustark drew well here on Monday, and were followed during the week with such excellent features as Wormwood, The Slim Princess, Hearts and the Highway, Kathlyn and the Carpet of Bagdad, and Ghosts.

SONG RECITAL AT GRACE
A HUGE SUCCESS
Those who attended the recital of Mr. T. Lloyd Hickman, of Dennison University, Dayton, Ohio, baritone soloist, were accorded a rare treat. Mr. Hickman possesses a rich and powerful voice showing great possibilities. His best number, "It Is Enough," had already received unstinted praise from the Ohio press when he appeared as soloist in the oratorio "Elijah" by the Emmanuel Conservatory, Mr. Hickman colored student at the University and easily carried off the honors of this occasion. Mme. Neale G. Buckner needed no introduction to a Chicago audience and received an ovation as she stepped upon the platform. She captivated the audience by her gracefulness and charming personality and the beauty of her voice and her willfulness as zas and demonstrated without a doubt that she is an artist in every sense of the word. Miss Allie Freeman, her accompanist, is a stranger to the Chicago public. She showed marked ability at the piano. Mr. Houstan, violinist who has just returned from Atlanta, where he has been pursuing his student's degree in Baptist College, was greeted with her enthusiasm as audience showed plausibly by their repeated and insistent applause how much they enjoyed his performance. Mr. J. A. Lowe, a clarionist soloist, rendered Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" very creditably. Mrs. Estelle Majors as usual gave excellent support to the artists by her work at the piano. This large heartedness of our artists, the large heartedness of the program donated their services to help Mr. Hickman and Grace Church. The Ways and Means Society is to be congratulated for featuring such an excellent program and we hope for another in the near future.

MISS MARGERY GAS-KILL PLACES WEST
SIDE ON MUSICAL MAP
Biggest Affair in That Section of the City Ever Given by a Member of the Race.
To fully appreciate the meaning of a June Rose Musical was to have been released on the Original Provident Bassoon. On that evening, which was an ideal one, Miss Margery Gaskill, assisted by Mine. Clara Hutchens, Mr. George Garner and Prof. W. L. Jackson, gave to an appreciative audience numbering between six and seven hundred of the best families of the city, a rare musical treat that could not be surpassed.
Amid the palms and ferns which decorated the plano, Miss Margery Gaskill, beautifully gowned, announced the opening number of the program. Each artist was at his best. Miss Gaskill played the great skill and her lilthy charm, the "manny," was the most touching of the group, played with great pathos, that would touch most any soul, she receiving great aplause and beautiful bouquets after the rendition of her first number. Without a doubt Miss Gaskill ranks as one of the race's foremost plumbers. A collision appeared in her usual sweet manner. She too was beautifully gowned in dainty silks and laces and rendered her songs with ease and composure as well as with sweetness and deep expression which swayed the audience to and fro as her great voice panted out in great volumes aral pictures of her well selected songs, wringing from her audible hause and lovely garlands of roses.
As usual Mr. Garner took his audience at first flight and received the audience's applause with as much modesty as a child, which is his character. Prof. W. L. Jackson, accompanied by his wife, rendered several violin selections, which proved him to be a master of technique. The accompaniment of Mrs. Jackson shows that she has had much training and proved to be a master of music. This concert places the West Side in the musical world and in future it will not be dormant so far as music is concerned. But in her hall of fame will be seen high upon her walls the name of Miss Gaskill, who has done much to the pluck West Side. We assure her congratulations will be long and many.

Slam Johnson in the Seventh and Eighth, While Rube's Cunning Baffles the Hoosiers.
The A. B. C. team from Indianapolis bumped into the American Giants in their first game of a five-game series and were bowled over. Before the season's largest crowd they played classy ball and up to the eighth inning it looked as though it might be a real ball game, but, oh, my! In that Inning Thomas Johnson took the aeroplane, and when he finally got down the Giants had five runs added to their already total of three. They slammed him all over the lot and made him force in two runs by issuing passes with the bases loaded. Rube was back to his old crafty tricks and allowed the Hooslers only three hits. This is the second Sunday in succession that he has performed this act. Last Sunday he handed a West Side team the same dose.

Miss Viola McKinley McFarland, who carried away the first honors of the class of 1915, held a crowded house spelbound while she delivered her oration, entitled "Build for Character and Not for Fame." Miss McFarland displayed remarkable self-possession from beginning to end and the excellent manner in which she spoke is characteristic of her ability. During her discourse she urged all men, in order to be successful, enjoy peace of mind and to be in harmony with God and their fellow man, to build for character and let fame alone. She drew characters which represented both classes and marked the wide difference between the two. She commented on Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte, examples of fame builders, and the sad fate which resulted. For the highest types of character she chose President Lincoln and Dr. Booker T. Washington, men of equipole, broad minds and magnanimity. She acquitted herself most creditably to her teachers, friends and parents. Miss McFarland was also presented with a beautiful gold medal, the first one ever given by the school for four years' highest average of the class. The Cornelius Parker Literary Society, of which she was president, presented the medal. She completed the course in three and one-half years. The beautiful and valuable presents received from her many friends were highly indicative of their appreciation.

GRACE LOSES TO FAST SECOND U. P.
GRACE LOSES TO FAST SECOND U. P.
Wilson-Baker-Lewis Combination Unable to Stop the Onslaught—Play Before Record Crowd.
Before a crowd of people that was larger than all other games together, the Grace team played against the fast Second U. P. and went down to defeat by the score of 3 to 4. They tried every way possible to stave off defeat, but the onslaught of the invaders was too strong. Col. Baker went to the rescue of Wilson, but he, too, was met with such a terrific charge that he retired, and old reliable Herbie Lewis came to assume the burden. Whew! they could have called von Hindenburg, for those scamps of the Second U. P. didn't care. Herbie looked like all the rest to them, for they outplayed our boys (that's like taking a dose of quinfine when the pills roll round in your mouth, but they outplayed them). That's all, and we hate to tell how they did it, so excuse us, and next week we will have a different tale to tell. This is the first defeat that Grace has met with since this same team handed them a In-situ test.

HIGH TEAM,
Championship Victory Due to Good Playing of Ira Ward.
Ira Ward has proven to be one of the leading players in the Wendell Phillips High School baseball team. In the hard struggle to claim championship of Cook County, between Wendell Phillips and Harrison, the red and black nine had almost lost the two champions of Cook County, while Wendell Phillips base hit, thereby tying the score of the two teams three to three. He is second baseman and has done some grandstand work during the season. This is not the only time that his team has won the game. He has pitched a nunphen of games for the Red and black nine. He also played left-end for Wendell Phillips football eleven, who won the championship last f. II. He graduated from four-year commercial course, and will probably enter college in the fall.

Perhaps one of the most present things the race has to contend with is even the misdeed perpetrated by a member, but to pick up a certain class of newspaper to its columns something derogatory to some a whole, and even in our own publications the injustice and oppression. It is not difficult to press these articles make on those who have mental strength to take them for what they are.

THERE IS NO JOY IN A GRAVEYARD. Give your loved ones the flowers while they live. Perhaps one of the most depressing and unpleasant things the race has to contend with is the constant publicity given every misdeed perpetrated by a member of the race. One needs but to pick up a certain class of newspaper to find emblazoned across its columns something derogatory to some individual or the race as a whole, and even in our own publications the burden of the song is injustice and oppression. It is not difficult to conceive the lasting impressions these articles make on those who have not the moral or mental strength to take them for what they are worth, nothing more.
There is enough sorrow in life without throwing it on the screen daily. Let us draw word pictures of the reverse side, the side with the beauty, light and encouragement. Truly we were meant to live in the sunshine. Let the shadows come unbidden, not welcome, visitors. What a heavenly change it would be did the press and pulp give to the world only the good and praiseworthy things; not that we deny or wish to hide our misdeeds under a bushel, but because it would tend to make us bigger, better and more self reliant. Each day there is something worth while to report concerning the uplift of the race. Why not spread upon the pages of our press the story of achievements of our youth in schools, colleges and universities, laud the bravery of the two men who the past week risked their lives to save the lives of two others when their own race forsook them? Speak of our progress in the business and professional world. Forget the past. Live in the present and prepare for the future. A smile is always worth its face value. Look and feel prosperous and prosperity will come to you. When the query comes, "How do you feel?" answer not "Tolerable," nor yet "Middlin," but in your cheeriest way say in the language of the street, "Bully."

HARLOW N. HIGINBOTHAM, chairman of the Chicago committee that recently vent to Atlanta in behalf of Leo M. Frank, who was sentenced to be hanged for the murder of a young woman, is quoted by "The world's greatest newspaper" as saying, "THERE ISN'T A DOUBT A COLORED MAN COMMITTED THE MURDER." This worthy gentleman is evidently gifted with some superhuman power; perhaps he is the seventh son of a seventh daughter and can see as far into the future as he can the past. He knows full well, as does every human being, that if there was the slightest evidence that a colored man committed the foul deed, he would have gone to the Great Beyond so long ago it scarcely would be a memory. Let it not be forgotten, too, where the trial took place, in a hotbed of prejudice, where a man with a dark skin has as much chance for fair treatment as a snowball would have of lasting in the internal regions. It ill becomes a man of Mr. Higinbotham's caliber to stoop so low, nor does such a prejudiced statement help the cause he espouses. It does not follow if Frank is innocent a colored man is guilty. What line of reasoning can this be? The courts declared the man guilty. If the man was not given a fair trial, where lies the blame? Who are responsible for putting these officers in power? The people. And these same people are clamoring that justice should be meted out, even going so far as to threaten the life of the governor who commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. And now the race is expected to sit complacently and have without the slightest proof or foundation, a crime laid at their door that has stirred the entire country. If Mr. Higinbotham or any other man does not believe the race has enough to bear without them adding fuel to the fire, let them step in our shoes for a brief period. Not that we are complaining or asking for sympathy; far be it from that. But we are demanding JUSTICE.

EVERYTHING COMES TO HIM WHO WAITS. A number of Southern states have been running their politics rather high handed. A great percentage of the legal voters and taxpayers have had no voice in the management of civic affairs for years, and all this has been accomplished illegally and by bulldoizing methods. The most popular form of the "Grandfather clause" has been to exempt from educational and property tests for voting those who could vote in 1866, 1867 or 1868, thus allowing the tests to apply to those who did not at that time. This unjust measure has been fought many times, ever reached the Supreme Court in the form that it was presentedly. The decision handed down by the court that the "Grand-clause" is a direct violation of the Fifteenth Amendment affects where it is in vogue. This is a great victory and will mangle the complexion of politics.

Maryland authorized the registration as voters of all tax payers of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of naturalized citizens 21 years of age, and ALL CITIZENS WHO BEFORE JAN. 1, 1868, WERE ENTITLED TO VOTE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND or any other State of the United States at a State election, and the lawful male descendants of any person who PRIOR TO JAN. 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland, or in any other State in the United States at a State election. Lovely little jokers in both these clauses. Chief Justice White, a native of the South and a former Confederate soldier, announced the court's decision, which was unanimous. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. We have waited, patiently; we have gained immeasurably.

CHICAGO IS LITERALLY FILLED WITH CHURCHES. Every denomination, sect and creed has within its borders a home where the righteous and the unrighteous may gather to worship. Every man, woman and child should find their way into one of these edifices at least once a week; oftener if possible. Few are they who have no form of worship. Of the three million who inhabit this great city, from a third to a half seldom enter the portals of these sacred edifices, but who find time for ball games and other forms of Sunday amusements.
Something is radically wrong and the blame cannot be laid at the door of these delinquents entirely. Perhaps at one time they were church members or at least attended church occasionally. The man of cloth whose duty it was to keep them in the straight and narrow path either failed from incompetency or through indifference, often both, and so the sheep strayed until now they have grown to a large flock and the number seems to be increasing daily.
There is such a thing as getting too much of a good thing. Meaning by that that a half hour's discourse is quite lengthy enough to drive into the hearts and minds of any audience the philosophy of religion or the blessed reward resulting from keeping in the straight and narrow path. The most practical point of view a divine should see from is what the congregation can appreciate and assimilate and not clog their appetites with bursts of eloquence lengthy and long drawn out, leaving no lasting impression in the minds of the audience. One great truth beautifully and pointedly illustrated is worth more than hours of lengthy discourse which may fall like chaff upon the places beneath. Since the world began brevity has been the soul of wit.
FAITHFUL SERVICE
MR. ROSENWALD SAID, accompanying his gift to the teachers who had served in Tuskegee fifteen years or more, "Tuskegee can only continue to prosper and grow and prove an effective influence for usefulness to the nation and to the Negro race as the workers are earnest, sincere and sympathetic; and I am sure you will in the future, as in the past, do your part to strengthen and uphold the hands of those charged with the responsibility of carrying on the work." Tuskegee, like any other big institution, could never have grown to its present size even under so great a head as Dr. Booker T. Washington, had each department and sub-department not at its head honest, faithful, loyal workers to carry out the scheme in the mind of the great educator. Each is an important cog in the school machinery, and with one out of gear the whole machinery is more or less affected.
The lesson that comes home to each of us lies in the simple thought that whatever we do let us do to the best of our ability, not because we expect any special praise or reward, but because it is right. It wasn't the value in dollars and cents of Mr. Rosenwald's gift that counted as much as it was the kindly feeling that prompted it. It is a sacrifice to spend one's life in school work and mere wage never compensates. Throughout the South especially can be found brave men and women who have sacrificed all that they might bring light into the dark places and we who are in the distance should consider it our solemn duty to aid these pioneers not only by words of praise but by something more tangible.
EVERY NOW AND THEN can be found in our leading publications a warning to the white brother to prepare, for the time is coming when his supremacy will be questioned, numerically; even now then are far overshadowed by the darker races. Speaking of "The yel-
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
WARNS HOUSEKEEPERS
AGAINST FILTH FLIES
(Press Service, Department of Health.)
Remember that:
1. The fly is born in manure and flith.
2. Nothing is too flippy for the fly to eat.
3. The fly is far more dangerous to humanity than wild beasts and rattlesnakes.
4. Fleshes killed more soldiers during the Spanish-American war than were killed by Spanish builts.
5. We must kill the fly to prevent it from killing us.
There is nothing more pathetic than to see a poor, distracted housewife frantically swatting the files that get into her kitchen when there is a big pile of stable refuse in the alley not far away, by which is breeding the pestiferous little lizard Faster than a whole regiment of women armed with swatters could kill them. Moral: Swat the manure pile and give the wife a rest.
Where fith and dirt do most abound, Flies also will be found.
The prudent, intelligent housewife will not trade with the butcher, baker or groceryman whose place is infested with disease-spreading flies.
Where flies do breed and multiply
There the babies get sick and die.
And this is why
We should swat that murderous fly.
That pile of stable manure near your home accounts for the myriads of nasty, disease-spreading files that swarm about your doors and seek to intrude themselves into your home.
The death-dealing fly is the baby's natural enemy. Swat the fly and give the baby its chance to live.
A hopeless view of a bad situation makes it a helpless one. Therefore keep after that manure pile till you get it.
Recently compiled statistics show that the death rate in this country after the age of 40 is increasing. This increase is due, it is claimed by competent medical men, to the sedentary habits of most men in middle life. This is why they do not take enough outdoor exercise. They ride to business when the walk in pleasant weather and then goood. They will lie down and take a nap in a close, stuffy room immediately after eating a hearty Sunday dinner when a long walk in the open air would aid digestion, harden the muscles and keep them in better condition to resist sickness and disease.

In this land of the free (?) there is destined to be an awful upheaval unless conditions are radically changed.

WE EXPECT TO READ IN "YELLOW JOURNALS"—if by mistake we read one at all—articles calculated to appeal only to the baser side, for these publications are veritable scavengers who seem to relish a class of news, reputable papers cast in the waste basket. Chicago is supposed to have less prejudice than most cities, the races are on friendly terms and very little friction is observed. We have our legal fights to keep down discrimination and we have many good loyal white friends to help us, all of these things come in the course of events and we expect them, but we are at a loss to know why the Chicago American would permit the following ad. to be spread on a half page of its paper, "YOU HAVE HEARD WHAT HAPPENED AT JOLIET YESTERDAY MORNING. SEE THE BIRTH OF A NATION' AT THE ILLINOIS THEATER AND THEN ASK WHY." Could anything be more dastardly? Is the object to stir up race riots in Chicago? Does the killing of the warden's wife at Joliet by an unknown convict, offer any excuse for making capital out of another's misfortune? We think not, and the few dollars that came to the counting room of this paper in payment of the ad. will seem very insignificant compared to the loss which is bound to follow any publication that stoops to do such things. The American public will stand for a great many things but not for capitalizing and commercializing a horrible crime.

SEGREGATION LAWS sometimes work as much hardship on one race as they do on the other and often queer complications arise in an effort to comply with the law. As the result of a recent opinion by the assistant attorney-general of Oklahoma, an officer having in charge a prisoner must take the prisoner into the white or colored compartments, according to the race of the prisoner. Now comes the hitch: The district marshal wishes to know what is to be done in case the officer shall have in charge both white and colored prisoners, as is frequently the case. This query coming so sudden like, of course we must give these official worthies time to figure the thing out; but from long distance it does appear they could find subjects more profitable to discuss, at least more profitable for the tax payers to have them discuss. A prisoner for the time being forfeits his rights and whether he is placed in a white or colored compartment matters little. What pride he had must be gone else he would not find himself under arrest. They do some queer, things in that neck of the woods, and this is one of them.

THE FOURTH OF JULY in America at one time was celebrated for its independence from the British crown; but today, it is celebrated by burning Afro-Americans at the stake and yellow journalism, because Lincoln refused to allow slavery to exist—1,000 of us must die each year to pay for the emancipator's acts.
WITH THE GLORIOUS FOURTH just a few days off it might be well to mention the "sane" idea has worked pretty well for the past few seasons.
THE CHICAGO AMERICAN is a good example of American literature for the crushing of the weak, like the elephant, that crushed the hen, undertook to sit upon the chicks because it had killed the mother, thus adding insult to the injury.
IF WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN'S object was to rock the boat, his effort will go down in history as an ignominous failure—whatever that is.
IF JUNE THINKS by keeping up the record of May she is getting in right with us, she is very much mistaken. Rain in homeopathic doses is preferable.
VERY FEW PEOPLE would object to having a little summer weather before winter sets in, but what we want and what we get are two different things.
MARK IT DOWN, summer arrived at 6:29 a. m., last Tuesday and promises to be on the job until 9:24 a. m., September 23d—23 isn't that "skidoo" anyway?
ONE REASON WHY we have not swatted as many flies as we had hoped to, has been the absence of the pests in any great number. Even a fly knows enough to stay in out of the cold.
A DARK SKIN is all that is necessary in the eyes of some people to make one a criminal. It's a long lane that has no turn.

The West Michigan Resort.
What has become of the West Michigan Resort? Will some of the directors request whether the West Michigan Resort is still in existence, or whether it has closed its doors, never to be reopened?
This department has been applied to for information concerning the closure of the West Michigan Resort and as soon as the public may expect the opening of it for the season of 1915.
We are unable to give any intelligent information, for the reason that we have looked in vain for some ad- dress or information relative to the opening of this resort for the season of 1915.
Many strangers are coming to Chicago during the months of July and August, and they are desirous, as well as many of our own citizens, of a place where they can enjoy nights and days during the warmest months of the year. The Pride of Chicago and the West. The West Michigan Resort easily ranked as the pride of the colored cities of Chicago and of the Mississippi valley. We trust the enterprising management of said resort will not suffer any hardship for lack of interest and financial support, and we need it is needed and because it has added an will add greatly to the comfort and health of the people; and there is no reason why it should not return fair and adequate financial benefits if conducted along strictly business principles. In fact it would be considered inductive of the business sagacity should this happen. We want of support. We have every evidence in the management of the West Michigan Resort and believe that if the people of Chicago and the Mississippi valley, who need this resort management, give their moral and financial support to the city in the very near future; that it will be the most gratifying success socially, morally and financially.
It is understood that it was never the purpose of the management to make money out of this enterprise, and at the same time the management is not in position to sink money in this resort. They are perfectly willful, and make sure provided they can give the people a resort, away from the dust, flies, heat and noise of the city, where the people may go and find awaiting them quiet rest, good pure food, splendid bathing facilities, fresh air, and get close to nature and nature's heart; where they may regain and rebuild which they have lost and torn down during their busy life in the city. What to Expect at a Good Resort. 1st. We may expect the resort to be pleasantly located in some healthy spot, with shade trees and easily accessible to the majority of the people whom we expect to support it.

2nd. The resorters should be good, clean, orderly, congenial people, devoid as much as possible of selfishness. The buildings must be properly constructed, well ventilated and not injurious to health and purity. It should be sanitary in every particular with windows should be large, easily opened and all windows and doors well screened from files and mosquitoes and at the same time permit good ventilation.
The milk should be good from healthy cows, the food excellent. There should be no place mar or about the resort for sink hoses or stagnant ponds, nor barn yard or stairway. Its sink perfectly should be sanitary, its sink perfectly should be properly burned or disposed of in metal cans with tight fitting covers to prevent flies. A dirty kitchen and sink have no place at a summer resort. The common outdoor kitchen, as with they serve as a great pollution of soil and breeding files, typhoid fever and other diseases.
The Help at a Summer Resort.
The Help at a Summer Resort.
While, as stated, the resort should have a scrupulously clean kitchen, properly disposed of garbage and good sewerage, we are not unmindful of the help in the kitchen and dining room; they should possess clean bodies, clean shoes. A person filthy with venereal disease soils, sooth, or the carrier of other disease is unsafe and unfit to prepare for others to eat. No person with venereal disease or consumption should be allowed to handle the food that is to be consumed by other-Cooks, stewards, waiters, and food handlers should be careful, amined at the beginning of the opening of the resort and at frequent intervals during the season.
The people who go to summer resorts have a right to expect and are entitled to clean, wholesome food that is handled by prepares by clean hands of persons in clean bodies, habits and that are free from disease.
We are lafted, paine, and unwilling to believe that this vry necessary enterprise (the West Michigan Resort, Benton Harbor, Michigan), is not to help and run on the most sanitary, up-to-date season. Will the management send better to this department, so the people only in Chicago but throughout the great Mississippi Valley, and for that matter, throughout these. United we know whether they will be able to work at the West Michigan Resort this season, and if so, when may we expect the opening?
