NATION MOURNS FOR EASTLAND DEAD "RUBE" FOSTER'S SIGNED STATEMENT OF A. B. C. TROUBLE ATEST NEWS If You See It In The Defender It's So EXCURSION BOAT TURNS OVER AND THOUSAND DROWN Steamship Eastland in a Freakish and Appalling Disaster at Foot of Clark Street Bridge Saturday. —Cargo of Human Lives Thrown Into River Without One Moment's Warning. MOST APPALLING CALAMITY IN CITY'S HISTORY Prompt Rescue Work Saves Many Lives, But Over One Thousand Lives Were Ushered into Eternity. —Four Race Workmen Among the First to the Rescue. Freighted with nearly three thousand human souls, the excursion steam or Eastland, while moored to the wharf at Clark street and the river, without warning toppled over on last Saturday morning, and over one thousand of its passengers were ushered into eternity. No calamity has ever come over this or any other city so appalling and far reaching in its consequences as the sinking of the Eastland. as he identifies his wife with the two-mouth-old babe clamped in her arms; and so on the identifying went until nearly eight hundred souls were identified and taken to their respective homes. The authorities, City, County, State and Nation have instituted investigations to fix the blame. Somebody committed an awful blunder which caused the loss of these nearly one For months the event to Michigan City under the auspices of the employees of the Western Electric Company had been advertised. Four large excursion vessels had been chartered and ten thousand gay picnickers had assembled in the vicinity of the Clark Street docks preparatory to boarding the vessel. Their day's outing at Michigan City. The Eustland was scheduled to leave first and the thronging multitude, high spirted, and gaily attired, vied with each other to go aboard the first boat out. They jostled good naturally, and pushed aside one another in an effort to be among the first. On they rushed. The turn stilet at the dock. The cell off the number of passengers at the dock was per minute. Finally, like sardines they were packed aboard the ill-fated Eustland. Numbers far in excess of the boat's capacity were permitted to go aboard, and finally the steamboat officials, having packed the vessel to the limit, pulled in the gang plank. The lines which held it to the wharf were hauled in. The signal was given to the boat, and the lugboat, which had made fast the lines to pull the Eustland out in the open take. All was ready to move. Swiftly the Boat Careened. In the twinkling of an eye the Eastland listed to the port side. The throng of passengers rushed over to the "listing side" unsuspecting and unmindful of what was happening. Swiftly the boat "careened" and its human freight was precipitated into the Chicago River. A mighty roar of the water woke up. Thousands of human freight the two lower decks, and staterooms, caught unawares, were hounded in by the rushing waters. Escape was impossible, and like rats they drowned. On the shores stood thousands of other passengers, who were waiting for the other boats to load. Elevated and surface cars run over the bridges and revoking scenes powerless to render distance. It all happened in a minute. Then can the rescue work. Everything available around the wharves was thrown into the river in frantic efforts to save the struggling human mass. Fire alarms were sounded, whistles blew, men and women shrieked and ran to and fro. Pandemonium reigned. Finally through the attacks of men, commissioner Merchants of the city citizens, they had rescued all who were struggling in the waters. But the horrors lay in the hull of the half submerged vessel. Quick work on the part of the firemen opened up the turned side of the vessel filled with water and human souls. Divers were quickly dispatched to the scene and work of taking out the dead was begun. Out of the hole limp and dead, until the number reached the appalling figure of nearly nine hundred. Turn Warehouses into Morgues. The neighboring commission houses were turned into temporary morgues. The work of identifying the dead was the work of the morgues. The dead bodies, upon orders of the authorities were removed from the temporary morgues to the Second Regiment Armory, which was made the vast "funeral house" to which sorrowing and hysterical relatives were sent to identify their lost loved ones. Scenes of morgues where were enclosed; now a faint three dead daughters; now a mother her two children; a husband shrieks The heroic efforts of many bystanders succeeded in saving more than two hundred from drowning in the Chicago River. Among them were four Afro-American stevedores, who were on the opposite side of the wharf waiting to go about their daily work when the Eustand capsized. Their manners were received any public attention, but their defiance has learned that these four men were among the largest factors in the rescue work. Entire Nation Mourns Entire Nation Mourns. This unfortunate catastrophe should force be a warning to the authorities with the risk of Lake Vesca carrying passengers. It seems that this, in all cases of great calamities, will have the effect of stirring the authorities to vigorous action only after the sacrifice of so many lives, when it ought to have been done before. Meanwhile Chicago mourns, and its entire population without regard to race, creed or color, sends out its crowds, and its crowds, sowing their families whose loved ones are so suddenly and without warning, like a candle at night, "snuffed out."

The guardians are of money his ward is worth in one minute of money involved in a result there are hundreds have become rich from the wealth is a recognized fact that the counsers as guardians of Negro children amounts of money involved in children's natural guardian and parent's qualifications. And no we refuse the guardianship of a woman nounced his hatred or prejudice to white man been found who wont treatment of his Negro wards as money he handles. Oklahoma is of graft in the state today is the ipuated today by unscrupulous courts.

Asks Guests for Individual Expression of Needs After Law of Institution —Ministeral Auxiliary Is Formed. An informal dinner and conference was held at Provident Hospital, in the nurses' dormitory, on Tuesday evening, July 27th, at 5 o'clock. The object of the conference was to set before the ministers the real condition of the management of the institution, and to have discussion on any phase of the work which might seem to them difficult. With the exception of Dr. Smythe, of Bethel Church, who is out of the city, all the pastors of the city churches were present, and were taken through all the wards and private rooms, and into the nurses' dining room where a sumptuous repast awaited them. Dr. Bentley Presides. Dr. Chas. E. Bentley, of the Trustee Board, was elected to preside which he did with his usual grace and affability. He then called upon certain of the ministers for an expression of what they considered most needed by the hospital, and in almost every response the conviction seemed to be that the churches should be more concerned about our general institutions than they have been. The earnestness with which these convictions were uttered up to the term of their organization of a "Philadelphia Auxiliary" to the Board of Trustees to do whatever they might be able, to advertise the work, needs and usefulness of the hospital to the people of Chicago. Plan Hospital Sunday One matter was unanimously agreed upon, and that was to set apart one Sunday each year to be known as "Hospital Sunday." A committee on permanent organization was appointed, consisting of Revs. Massiah, Jackson, Anderson, Robinson, Calls, Martin and Thomas. The matron and nurses deserve great credit for their hospitality, and Mr. Alfred Anderson for his courteous demeanor to the members of the cloth, too much praise could not be accorded. We admire a good talker who knows when to shut up. GREAT STATEMENT ESSIONAL GUARDIAN and of wealthy Negro children 500 to 8,000 a month.

CHILDREN PLAY AND EAT Miss Lella Stubbs is Real Mother to Hundreds of Children Who Spend Day Seeking Fresh Air and Amusement. Oh, mamma! Oh, mamma!! Miss Lella Stubbs is my mother," declared one little girl when she came home last Friday night after spending a day at Jackson Park, eating, playing and drinking ice cold lemonade at the annual picnic for poor children. Nearly a hundred little boys and girls, some twins, triplets and quadruplets, were there, all dressed up for the picnic. How did they get to the park? Well, some of the doctors who have cars and have a little time to be charitable, as well as to collect fees, donated their care to Miss Stubbs to Provident Hospital to Washington Park. It was fun for Mrs. "Burt" Anderson, Geo. Hall, J. W. McDowell, Holloway and Mr. Geo. Holt to give them a breeze drive Michigan avenue and through the parks. When Mr. Holt's car got to the park young Booker T. Washington Lincoln said: "I don't want to get out. I want to ride some mo." A number of friends gave donations. They were Mrs. M. Maines, who always helps charity: Mrs. B. Jones, Mrs. M. Jamson, Mrs. E. Martin, Mrs. L. Johnson, Mrs. Lille Fort, Mrs. G. Porter, Mrs. Carolyn Sparrow, Miss Hale, Miss S. McGooer, Miss Empress Davidson, Mrs. L. Lawson, Mr. Max Graves, Rev. S. Bishop, Mr. Alfred Anderson and Dr. Anderson. Dr. H. Reginald Smith donated 75 packages of crackerjack and Cary B. Lewis the "red lemonade." It was a happy day for the little folks. The fresh air and three square meals added five and ten pounds to some of the ones. When the chauffer returned home, she made a play so much that by the time they got home each was in the "Land of Nod." Mrs. Stubbs wishes to thank all who in any way contributed to the pleasure of the children. AWARDED GOLD MEDAL (Special to Chicago Defender.) Cedar Rapids, Iowa, July 30—Bethle A. M. E.

BEWARE OF STRAY CATS; THEY CARRY ALL KINDS OF DISEASE. Petted Fellines Are Menace to Children and Grownups — "The Cat That Came Back is a Dangerous Thing." Press Service, Department of Health. The household cat is a menace to health. It is now well known that contagion and infection of various animals are carried and spread by feline pets. Cats are, it is believed, more of a menace in this way than dogs, on account of their nocturnal habits. Everybody knows that the house cat, unless most carefully watched, will dislodge days at a time; but it always returns. Hence the saying, "the cat came back." The important thing, however, is to know where the family pet has been, and just what particular brand of disease germs it has brought home. Children love pets and as cats are domestic, it is always within the probing period during Tom's disappearing periods when he was home where there is a case of scarlet fever or diphtheria, or maybe nothing worse than measles, mumps or whooping cough. But even those so-called minor aliments are often quite serious in their effects and are not to be desired under any circumstances. It is so many parents have, that it is hard to imagine that the diseases so common to child life as soon as possible and as they say, "be over with them," is a mistaken one. It is a serious error to assume that children must have a long list of diseases before they are grown up. The facts are they should not have them at all, for the reason that most children must have a preventable. So it is pretty certain that friends, innocently enough so far as they are concerned, are oftentimes real and dangerous enemies to the health and safety of our children. Dogs, too, are dangerous, though perhaps to a less extent than are cats, as cases of both scarlet fever and typhoid germs are directly to dogs that were on friends and visiting terms with several families in the same neighborhoods. Modern city life does not afford either safe or favorable conditions for the keeping of animal pets. It is neither fair to the pets nor to the people who harbor them. The modern city has a common housing of dogs, cats cannies and human beings under the same roof; and besides be a menace to health, they are nearly always a source of annoyance to those apartment dwellers. They are averse to pets of this kind and who are compelled to complain to the authorities to have pets. It is a good plan, therefore, to try and worry along without dogs and cats as a part of the household. Somebody. Somebody helped in saving me. Somebody helped save you; We can help in saving some baby. What will somebody do? Not all babies are sick are underfed. Very often it is the overfed baby that needs the doctor's care. Overfeeding is as dangerous as underfeeding. Babies should not be "stuffed." They should be fed at regular intervals and when signs of stomach disturbance appear, it is wise to cause feeding anything but barky or mal. Improvement does not follow within twenty-four hours it is wise to call your family physician. MEN OF THE RACE GIVE SERVICE TO SINKING EASTLAND MEN OF THE RACE GIVE SERVICE TO SINKING EASTLAND C. A. Murphy and E. H. Harris Do Yeoman Work in Rescuing Lives from Sinking Boat. Breathless and hair-raising stories have been published about the saving and rescuing of lives on the sinking Eastland, but no account was reported of the heroic services rendered by Mr. C. O. Murphy, 6050 Ada street, a prominent Elk and bachelor. He works at the city hall as janitor and was one of the first to give service when volunteers were called. He has to his credit saved 47 men anymore and E. H. Harris of Y. M. C. A., who works on Water park, pulled out 15 women and children. Both men worked until they became exhausted—they worked, how- ever, until the city authorities took charge. HOW TO ADDRESS MAIL.

EDITION RICHMOND, VA., 50th ANNIVERSARY EXPOSITION A FAILURE Semi-Centennial Exhibition Promoted by Hon. Giles B. Jackson Is Not a Success, Despite Fact That Congress Contributed $55,000 Toward the Venture.—People Glad that President and Other Notables Did Not Attend. COMMITTEE FAILED TO DISCOVER RACE'S WORTH-WHILE ACHIEVEMENTS Star Chamber Business Methods Blamed For Failure. —Correspondent Says That Entire Race Should Not Be Blamed For the Non-Success of One Man. By R. W. Thompson. Washington, D. C., July 30.—The Giles B. Jackson show at Richmond will go down in history as the most monumental failure of its kind that the country has ever known. This is the unanimous verdict of the handful of people who wasted their time and money journeying to Richmond to see an "exposition" that was not there. The outcome was no surprise to those who had given the matter a careful study from the time congress voted the appropriation of $55,000 in aid of what was put forward as a concrete display of the progress the race has made in the fifty years since emancipation. As has been pointed out in these columns, no one ever heard until the last moment that any such thing as a field agent was out gathering up exhibits of a character worth looking at. The press exploitation was a negligible quantity at the time the public was making up its mind as to whether they should take stock in the affair. The advertising was not placed systematically, nor where it would do the most good, even when the placards and scattering display ads made their appearance at the eleventh hour. In the great centers of race life there was not a scintilla of interest in the proposed show. Even in Richmond, where the enthusiasm of the masses should have been aroused to fever heat, no one seemed to know anything about the "exposition." Everything was done behind closed doors and the bulk of the endorsements, such as they were, came from white people who tried to be sympathetic without knowing a line of the inside facts. The Plain Truth. While giving the gentlemen ample appreciation for good intentions, it is but telling the truth to say that the proclamations of the president of the United States and the governor of Virginia were received with a quiet, sad smile. Now that it is all over there is a feeling of relief on the part of the people of the country that the state of public business was such that the president and prominent members of the race were spared the humiliation and chagrin that would have come out of his attending such an inadequate display of our progress in fifty years of freedom. The surface of the race's achievements in the arts, sciences, the industries, invention, agriculture, manufactures, literature, and a thousand and one of the activities of civilization was scarcely scratched. Congress Will Investigate. The rest of the inglorious story will be told by a million tongues when the news of the flasco rachea the ears of the masses. The complaints of the concessionaires who got bit by the "frost" will be loud and deep. The people will ask an accounting for the proceedings carried on in their name, but in which they had no hand. Before the episode is closed it looks as if somebody is going to "get jammed." The few race papers which had the courage and foresight to sound a warning note may felicitate themselves that they did their "plain duty." The failure, all things considered, is the failure of one man. It is unjust to charge it up against the race. PROF. LOUIS B. MOORE STILL AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Etricks, Va., July 30—It has been widely reported, but without foundation in fact, that Dean L. B. Moore, Ph.D., had resigned his position at Howard University, Washington, D.C. to take up other lines of work. Your apprenticeship can state on the highest authority record no truth in the rumor. Dr. Moore written a friend that the mistake doubled arose from a statement in a local paper that he had "joined the faculty of a summer school at New Orleans." This referred to summer work only.

He said his brother was a student abroad, but was driven by war, and spoke seven languages. VISITORS,ATTENTION!

The front page was laid bare and an expression of pride in the page was laid bare, which would prove a sofa to the twelve million of the race entitled "Praise the God of Music" and rather applicable to the policy of the Defense Department in its energy in furnishing its readers with all of the news from the public in over way. It advertises our church, club and social affairs and also the policy of the Defense Department. So please do not think me meddling here. We can advertise their business within the method employed by all thirty affiliate advertisements—then it is my business. Optimal and Baseline Optimist is derived from the Latin optimus, best, that being the superlative degree of bonus, mellor, optimus, good, better, best. Optimist is defended in the Latin optimus, best, that being the superior degree of maku, pear, pessimus, bad, worst. Optimist, therefore, represents the best in everything, and pessimist in opposite. Optimist is the worst. Optimist is the best in height side of things and takes hopeful vows, while a pessimist sees only the dark side. The two words have aggrieved the same meaning in politics, and in everyday life.

Most animals have an ability about doctoring themselves when they are not well. For instance, an animal suffering from rheumatism keeps in the sun. The warrior ants have ambulances, and when an investigator cuts the antennae of an ant, other ants can find and eat the fluid secreted in their mouths. Flourlah on Wild Clover The sturdiness of the Andakaran horses is attributed to the fact that they feed on a species of wild clover in the Spanish province of Cada.

New Workers Plan City Wide Movement to Arouse Race to Their Duty in Support of This Worthy Charity —List of New Directors. New life was injected into the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People at the annual meeting of the association held at the Wabash avenue branch of the Y. M. C. A. on Tuesday night. Nearly 200 members of the association were present to hear the reports of the officers. The reports revealed conditions which indicated that the affairs of the Home were in bad shape. Suggestions for bettering these conditions were offered by a number of prominent persons who had been informed of the unfortunate conditions and had come to the meeting with a few of the officers to meet on the basis that would be credit to the Afro-Americans of Chicago. Among these were Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Dr. A. Willberforce Williams, Assistant Corporation Council Louis B. Anderson, Frank L. Hamilton, George H. Walker and William R. Cowan. Name New Directors Encouraging remarks were made by all of these gentlemen and pledges given by all present to undertake a vigorous campaign in the interest of the unfortunate old people who are residents of the Home. In furtherance of the fund raised six new directions were elected for two years. They were: F. I., C. L. Faffery, Frank L. Hamilton, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Rev. Fathar Massiah and George Arthur. It is the intention of these gentlemen, as one of them informed The Defender's representative, to first undertake to stimulate an enlightened group among the Afro-Americans of Chicago in the needs and merit of the Home. Plan to Arouse People. With the assurance that the race itself is interested and contributing to the limit of their ability, they will be in a better position to approach the philanthropic white people, some of whom have already been sounded, and who have expressed themselves as willing to help when it is shown that the Afro-Americans have and are doing all in their power to make the Home a fit and habitable place for the aged of the race to live in. New Members Enrolled. As a result of the new spirit which characterized the meeting a number of new members were enrolled and paid in the annual membership fee. This is one of the many race movements in Chicago that deserves the fullest support of race men and women, and The Defender sincerely hopes that this new blood will by their work and worth bring this worthy charity up to the standard it so richly deserves.

Winston, the subject of his discourse at the morning service was "God's plan of conquering the earth," delivering the Gospel truth, letting the students know the universal requirement. The children during the Sunday school hour last Sabath were enjoyed by the old as well as the young men who were member of "intermediate E.", receiving honor for having contributed the largest collection of the collection. Christian Endeaver payer at $60 was also another very enjoyable hour. The enthusiastic discussion of the topic beyond measure. The table for Sunday. The little everyday kindnesss. Eph. 4:12.

HARRY MARTIN STAR HURLER,ON WAY TO COAST Star of the Smart Set of New York Passes Through the City Enroute to Coast for Next Month's Games. Harry Martin of the Smart Set of New York Passes through the city the first time he was in the law office of Mr. Hammond of the Y. M. C. A. and the Chicago Defender. Mr. Martin is on his way to the court games, which begin high and high hurdles. He was shown the extended him the use of its trench. He showers for the afternoon. He worked on his stiffness under the personal direction of his coach. After the workout he was a speculator at the American Giants-Cuban Star games. He left Monday night at 9:35 for the Weekend. Martin is a fine specimen of manhood. He won his right to represent the Enstall family to Cambridge, Mass., when he won from the England- intercollegiate champion. He will have a hard race to run when he faces the United States, but he interceded to us that unless the weather rainy and bothered his muscles, as that kind of weather does, he expected to win. Martin is a son, who fails from Missouri. Martin is a student at Howard University. He enters his senior year this fall. At the Smart Set of New York.

These two are the only players who will represent hockey clubs at the games. Disround of U. C. Diamond represents the University of Chicago. Butler will run for the Rockies college, and Drew for the University of Southern California. As to our com-munity, he will play for the hundred; he may finish third. The 220 we figure Have second. Butler unless confidence can not see in the dashes. He always happens. Martin has Simpson and Kelly to go up against and if he can win, he will play the broad jump. Diamond has Ted Mereford to beat. Ted is about the best that he can play. He edge and he should win. If he does he will go down in history, for he will have won the title. We welcome him back with open arms just the same. Morse may place in the final. This depends on the result of the trials. NEW CASTLE, PA. (By J. A. Davis.)

THE 10.00 week 10.00 week answer Chicago, July 25, 1915. Sporting Edison, the Basketball Public of the United States: After much persuasion and careful consideration I made an account of the disgraceful series of games that was played last week at Indiana, A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis, and when I consider the most disgraceful games 3et to be seen in Indianapolis. A WEEK IN THE LIVELY STEEL CITY suit of the game was not what the management of the indianapolis club wanted to do, but on this statement and I will leave it to the judge to judge just who was responsible for this disgrace. Games Often Forfeited. Granting that we had deliberately forged a game, this is not a crime, and we should not judge the players in baseball and it certainly did not warrant the abuse that we received. All saw the game will agree that all durability was necessary, and even at the home plate, when action or words question the decisions, the game was forfeited. I made no demonstration, either by act or words, but started directly, and saw the game to my surprise, and saw the man even witnessed. Officers, I scene 1 I were ever witnessed. Officers, who were so wrong signed the contract with the man, who can Giants police protection—officers of peace and protection—drew guns and that led to shoot those the team to protect. On Monday, 15 July, I received the most complete limitation, both for my team and for the 4d hunting, we had scores runs, the A. B. C. were at last. I met the coach's box and a police sergeant called me back, calling me the dirtiest I have ever had said to me. First asking argument at Sunday's game, I said I did not know, and he said to me, "If you open your mouth I will blow your breath out, you minute I will blow your breath out, five minutes abusing me and calling me all kinds of names, and Bauchman, who is going to the canchers box found the leece out of line, he took his foot and pushed me, saw him, rushed from the house pushed him aside and called the police and the officers came out and began beat- A policeman cannot come upon a ball仗 unless asked to do so by the humble, trouble, unless requested by the owner or manager. In this case there was no police officer to do so, he was a shadow of unpleasantness then, or during the game. There can be but one officer in with the police and a bondman, or strained them to do so, for no-office could or would go on a ball field and be strained to do so. The arrested resident for some dead committed, unless they had been told to do so. If they at fault in any way, as socerted as they were, why we were not arrested, yet no one was. The incident was more painful to them than any tint saw or read it. It was the complete humiliation of a officer's effort to arrest a person. For many our people, they forged their hard words, that may have been before and before a chance to learn from them, and before a can rest assured that I have not updied the present and would not in the future ball or stoop low enough to permit or stand to see any ball club or players in Indianapolis, whether they were wrong, and even now would not permit police to come to our grounds and be in Indianapolis ball club.

A LITTLE STRAY DOG He was but a little stray dog on the street, Going—he didn't know where— And he looked like for weeks he'd had nothing to eat; All matted with dirt was his hair. But he wagged his short tail just to show as he turned, That even to him life was sweet. A lesson that breathes of content can be learned From the little stray dog on the street. MAKING GOOD EMPLOYEES FIFTEEN CARLOADS OF EMPLOYERS and their families were taken for a day's outing by the Texas end of the Southern Pacific system, to Sylvan Beach. All sorts of picnic edibles and drinks were supplied together with transportation free. Baseball, games, races, prize contests and other forms of innocent amusement, made up the fun for the day. This happened in Texas where a man is given a chance to work even if denied other privileges. All through the South can be found people considered well fixed in this world's goods, the opportunity for the energetic to make money is there, the opportunity to spend it foolishly, save by gambling, is lacking. A limited number of individuals in the North have made a very creditable showing, but the great bulk of the people are what might be termed "strainers" they are living from hand to mouth but assuming a prosperous appearance. Few avenues are open to make money but thousands to spend it. A limited number of individuals in the North have made a very creditable showing, but the great bulk of the people are what might be termed "strainers" they are living from hand to mouth but assuming a prosperous appearance. Few avenues are open to make money but thousands to spend it. The home for a majority of our people for many years to come must of necessity be the South, there is much to be done, much to be learned before they will be fitted to migrate, and when they do leave the land of cotton and sugar cane education and wealth will be theirs. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company in giving this pleasant outing has done as much for themselves as they have for their employees. The best service can only be obtained when harmony prevails, when the employer shows by words and actions that his object is not to grind but to live and let live. What man or woman does not give the best in them under such environments? Find a grinding and unsympathetic employer and you will find employees doing what is absolutely necessary, nothing more; employees who have the closing hour on their minds more than they have their work at hand: Strikes are the result of dissatisfaction not always due to the wage scale. Has anyone ever heard of the Ford Motor Company employees striking? The world knows the reason why they have not. The rule holds good for the small as well as the large employer. There is only one right way and that is do unto others as you would have them do unto you. THAT GEORGIA BILL.

S. COUNTRY LIFE. IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING movement inaugurated some little tim papers and magazines plenty of food Fern Holly for thought. The question location has been discussed from every angle with the result that the solution is about as far off as it was in the beginning. The followers of Booker T. Washington, and there are many, point out vividly the advantages farm life offers over city life for the great mass of our people who live below the Mason and Dixon line. The recent government report gives some astonishing figures as to the great number of farms owned and controlled by our people, proving conclusively that there has been a general awakening along this line. There may be a number of restless, roving ones who seek the cities, but this is true of every race. One writer tells us that we have always longed for the association of each other. That we are a gregarious race—a race that likes to live together, light hearted and happy, fond of our fellows so we do not care to remain in the country when we can get to town, it is a part of our nature—and is a virtue. catastrophe, and one that appeared one had done their duty.

Something more tangible to the relatives of the dear ones; more money will not replace in whose sole support was lost. While on the other hand the white man is not nearly so attached to his fellows, you can find him traveling in forests alone and living for long periods in isolated places. Again it is true that after the longest and hardest day's work, many of our race will walk miles at night in order to spend a few hours in the society of their friends. They are not afraid to be alone—it is not cowardice, but being a sociable lot are willing to undergo all manner of hardships to find association. This is one of the main reasons why our population in the cities is increasing. We are all human, our likes and dislikes are often pronounced and it is very difficult at times to say what is best for the other fellow when we scarcely know what is best for ourselves. MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS. "THE INSTINCT TO LOOK AFTER YOUR NEIGHBOR'S MORALS—however unsuccessful you may be in looking after your own—is ineradicable in human nature." It is so easy to point out the faults in others and so difficult to see our own and yet we constantly forget that perhaps our own skirts are dragging in the mud the very moment we are discussing someone else's shortcomings. The woman who was afraid to leave a meeting of her club first for fear her associates would talk about her, wasn't far wrong in her premises. Most people dislike a gossip and yet they listen for fear of offending, and as a story grows by repetition the harm that is done the unlucky individual is incalculable. The man or woman who is employed finds little time to talk about a neighbor, they are generally too busy attending to their own affairs to find time to meddle with other people's affairs. It is an old but true saying that an idle mind is the devil's workshop. One of the most effective ways of keeping out of all kinds of trouble is by minding your own business. WHAT NATIONALITY? RATHER DIFFICULT at times, is it to tell just what nationality some people are. In Denver, Colorado, a man was arrested on a charge of contracting an unlawful marriage and upon appearing before the court pleaded not guilty. He had promised to marry a colored woman but jilted her for a white woman who later became his wife. The defendant proved that he was a mixture of three races, Mulatto, French and Indian, the court is left to determine the preponderance of blood. His mother was French and Mulatto, his grandmother was a full blooded Indian and his grandfather was a Mulatto. The judge doubtless would be pleased to hear from specialists on the subject as his mind is a little lazy on the law covering such cases. SAFETY FIRST—TOO LATE. IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEATH. These words evidently have no racial application but are purely human, and the twenty-five hundred men, women and children, excursionists on the ill-fated Eastland might well have observed these words. But like most human beings they sought a day of pleasure and death, at least for the time being, was far from their thoughts. The subject of death is not a pleasant one to discuss much less to weigh upon one's mind continually; but it would appear that such disasters as the one that confronts us might be a reminder of the truth of the previous assertion. It would therefore seem not incongruous with Christian teaching for us to realize that there is a higher power into whose care we may well commit ourselves. Never in the story of Chicago has there been such an awful DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Unlawful Imprisonment and Detention by Police of Persons Without Booking. A suspect and incarcerated in detective headquarters on North La Salle street in New York, at that time about two months and was employed by a business concern on the street. The suspect, having been so employed for a period of two weeks. Three weeks prior to that time, he was arrested. Three weeks prior to that time, a waiter in a family hotel, work-side as a waiter in a place, whom they informed on a slick. After five days after I had worked in this hotel whose place I took returned to work. Shortly after I had left the hotel the management of the hotel reported to the court that I had written by theft and connected me with this alleged larceny by giving them my employment agency that had secured me this hotel job. The employment agency in turn directed the police to my location and asked me to report them. They immediately arrested me on a suspect and held me in prison in detective service and me from consulting time. I assessed me of all my personal effects, including the card of my attorney, and prevented me from consulting legal counsel, for a time. On three or four different occasions they threatened me with personal violence and tried to coerce me to make confession of a crime I did not commit. Finally, when no one came forward and confessed they discharged me from custody. Please advise me whether or not there is any redress for this kind of treatment. Answer.—Yes, you have a civil remedy in the courts against the persons guilty of the crime. In this way. Besides, you may invoke the criminal jurisdiction for the purpose of prosecuting the officers guilty of sequestration a confession from you while in prison. I have been sued in the city courts by a woman who has been bond for goods sold and delivered him for his own personal use. They have made me a party defendant along with her. Please advise me on my rights to be liable for personal obligations of the husband. MRS. J. W. Women—The wife may be liable for action against the husband for necessities furnished the family. According to the exception, clearly within the exception to this rule. COVINGTON, KY. Covington, Ky.

C. Locust will stretch a tent and hold his service on the lot where the church has been recently moved. catastrophe, and one that apparently could have been avoided if someone had done their duty. Who that someone is must yet be fathomed and when discovered of what avail will it all be to the hundreds of sorrowful homes in this big city of ours. Chicago was plunged in mourning after the Iroquois Theater fire where something over a half thousand persons lost their lives, and steps were immediately taken to assure the safety of other playhouses. It appears not to be a question of "safety first" but of safety last. Twice that number and more have been hurled into eternity by the capszing of the Eastland and doubtless we will now have more stringent maritime laws or rather those they have will be more rigidly enforced. Something more tangible than sympathy has been extended to the relatives of the dear ones who met such an untimely death, while mere money will not replace lives it will be a great boon to many whose sole support was lost. Let us aid in every way we can. We have all suffered a loss. JOHN WANAMAKER suggests that the United States raise a fund and buy Belgium from Germany, setting that country free. Well, if that will stop the war as hard as times are we will add a few simileons to the fund. P. S. Address all communications to The Chicago Defender, U. S. A., not "The World's Greatest Daily" but— THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT SEASON for manufacturers of umbrellas and mackintoshes, so somebody is happy after all. ECHOES OF THE JOHNSON-WILLARD FIGHT are still audible, the story coming over the pond said to be authentic, that Jack cabled the following: "You signed contract to pay me $50,000 to lay down to Willard, which I did. You never kept your promise. I did." Question, who is the real champion? SAYS COLONEL ROOSEVELT, "Men who are not ready to fight for the right are not fit to live in a free democracy. The only women fit to be wives and mothers in a free republic are those who feel that their sons are not sons of theirs unless, when the country calls their souls are eager and their feet jubilant to answer the mighty trumpet note which announces that the hearts of men are being sifted out before the judgment seat." The oracle has spoken, does anyone else wish to be heard? IT IS THE IRONY OF FATE to have to pay the city for the use of a garden hose this summer. THE GERMANS captured 66,790 men and 175 officers of the Russian army which a Berlin paper designates as "a nice start." What will the harvest be? PRESIDENT WILSON'S PROCLAMATION asking support for the Negro Historical and Industrial Exposition is couched in terms of such frigidity that it is to be used at the exposition to chill watermelons. SPEAKING OF WAR, for the first half of the year thirty-four lynchings have been recorded, ten of this number being white. Men now and then talk seriously about going to war to assert and maintain principles of humanity as they interpret it. But no one has suggested war to assert and maintain principles of justice in states like Georgia where a fourth of all the lynchings of the half year have been perpetrated. THE SUFFRAGETTES are up in arms because Secretary of State Lansing in listening to "the voice of the people" concerning the war policy of the nation, failed to hear only the voice of the men. Surely no women could have been around if that is the case. WHO WOULDN'T BE A SOLDIER BOY when camping out time is but one week off? SHOULD THE NEGRO VOTES BE COUNTED in Oklahoma next year and there is an excellent prospect that they will, there will be a lot of exec among the Democrats. ALONG THE NORTH SHORE Ebenezer A. M. E.

DENNIS CLARK DROWNED WHILE SWIMMING (By Mrs. Jannie Edwards ) Sex In Flowers. All flowering plants have what is called pollen, which is composed of minute particles generated in the flower, and which has a definite sexuality. The male pollen seeks that union which will make for reproduction, and it has been said poetically that desire in the flowers is as intense as in any other form of life. Only the flowers could tell this, and the flowers don't speak our language, though we poor humans have artificially and empirically cofed a "language of the flowers."
