PULLMAN COMPANY REFUSES PORTERS HIGHER WAGES President Lincoln Piqued Over Recent Federal Commission Investigation—Holds Directors' Meeting, but the Porter Is Not Considered, Showing the Company's Displeasure Over the Activities of the Committee on Industrial Relations. CHAIRMAN WALSH CALLS PRESIDENT LINCOLN TO TIME Reminds Him of Promise He Made Board to Consider Matter, and Says Only Reason Is "Indifference to Men's Welfare," Conductors Are Also Affected—Labor, Staff and Other testimony by former employees and admissions by Robert T. Lincoln, chairman of the company's board of directors, made at a public hearing in Washington, that the wages of porters and conductors are too low. "The company's failure to act, after the assurance of Mr. Lincoln that he would bring up the matter at the next meeting of the board, and after his own admission that' part of the company's huge profits were derived by under-payment of its faithful employees, can be explained only by the indifference and disregard of its wealthy directors as to the well being of the faithful employees who man its cars. "To refuse justice to these employees because of plaque at the action of this commission in exposing conditions of employment in its car service is a policy that needs no comment." Porters' Hope Only a Dream. It had been the hope of the thousands of Pullman porters and those dependent upon them for support after Mr. Lincoln had admitted before the commission that they were poorly paid, coupled with his promise to bring the matter to the attention of the board of directors, that something would be done to give this large class of its employees some relief from the burdens under which they struggle by reason of the unquestionably inadequate compensation for their services. The report of the commission will be submitted to the next congress with recommendations that appropriate legislation be enacted to compel this immensely wealthy corporation to pay its employees living wages. refused to believe it. After giving the congratulations and spending a few minutes recovering, the guests repaired to their homes very much outwitted by the bride and groom. Mrs. McCougherty has been one of the most popular of our Gary young people and is very much loved by all. Mr. McCougherty, the groom, is the brother of Mr. J. E. McCougherty and is chef at the Tinplate, where he has a good position and is very much esteemed for his bearing and his splendid service.

Another achievement of the race in this city must be that of securing a race man a seat in the next Republican national convention. All the border States send a delegate to the convention, but Illinois has only been satisfied with an alternate. This State should and must have a delegate at large. Leaders should begin now to work toward that end. The Defender sounds the warning. THOMAS BRINDLEY HURT. Mr. Thomas Brindley, 6220 Ada street, sustained a severe injury on his wrist, but is improving nicely. Reports. The failure of the board of directors of the Pullman Palace Car company to raise the wages of the porters and conductors in its employ as agreed through its president, Robert T. Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, has aroused the ire of Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations. When the hearing on wage conditions of its employees was conducted in Washington, Mr. Lincoln admitted under oath that in his opinion the porters were poorly paid. He promised the commission that at the next annual meeting these conditions would be remedied. Last Friday the annual meeting was held, but nothing was done to relieve the situation which was found to be so deplorable in regard to the low wages paid porters by the company. Direct Slap at Chairman Walsh. This is taken to be a direct slap at the Industrial Commission by the officials of the Pullman company. Commenting upon the actions of the directors at their annual meeting, Chairman Walsh made this caustic statement: "It is stated in effect that the company has denied increases to its men as a means of showing its resentment at the activities of this commission, and particularly at an alleged report of this commission criticising or denying the company for its failure to pay living wages. "The only criticism of the inadequate wages paid by this enormously wealthy corporation contained in the files of this commission, consists of WEDDING A BIG SURPRISE TO HOME FOLKS Couple Go to Crown Point, Ind., and Are United in Holy Wedlock—Informal Reception Follows Wedding. Gary, Ind., Aug. 20—(Special).—Many of the people of Gary were greatly shocked last Wednesday morning to be apprised of the fact that Mr. Gay W. McCoughtry and Miss Gates, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Gates, 1201 Jefferson street, had gone quietly to Crown Point, Ind., the Gretnin Green, on Tuesday afternoon and were there joined in holy matrion. Several friends were invited informally to the Gates home on Tuesday evening, but all was kept secret until after the guests had assembled, spent the evening in games and were about to be served to refreshments when Mr. Gates announced that before the refreshments were passed he had something to announce. While everyone waited with interest as to what the announcement was to be Mr. McCoughtry approached the door followed by his bride, who looked very charming in a beautiful silk costume, leaning upon the arm of the bridegroom. For several minutes many sat and looked as if bewildered and some SATURDAY Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY "COL." FRANK HAMILTON GOES TO BED IN FULL WAR OUTFIT. Disappears From Camp Lincoln After Seeing Two Boys in a Fight and is Found in Bed After "Taps"-What Color Was That Feather in His Hand? Mr. Frank L. Hamilton, the most eligible bachelor in town, has lost the title of "Colonel" with which he was "breveted" before leaving for Camp Lincoln as the guest of Adjutant Louis B. Anderson with the Eighta regiment. Here is how it happened: Tuesday night while the famous Eighth Band was giving a concert, some minor trouble started between a soldier and a civilian. Crowds of soldiers and citizens gathered where the incident occurred. To the untrained eye it looked ominously foreboding. At any rate, this is the way it looked to "Col." Hamilton. After the excitement had subsided "Col." Hamilton quietly, unaccompanied and unobserved, went to his "quarters." He shared t tent with his host. Capt. Anderson. The duties of Capt. Anderson were such that they required him to be up and around until midnight. Meanwhile he became anxiously concerned about "Col." Hamilton. Had Lost His Nerve. Inquiries on every hand were answered with the one reply that he had not been seen since the excitement. Finally, after "taps" Capt. Anderson "turned in to quarters." As he entered his tent, lantern in hand, he was agreeably surprised to see "Col." Hamilton "curled up" in his cot smoking way as if nothing had happened. Carried animation, however revealed that "Col." Hamilton lost his nerve. He had retreated "inack" with his military hat, within easy reach beside his cot. When awakened by Capt. Anderson and asked why he retired with his boots on, he drowsily replied: "I thought I might get orders to leave "in full war strength," so I concluded that it would be more safe to be ready than to have to get ready." The next day, suddenly and without warning or notice, "Col." Hamilton discarded his soldier clothes, and like the Arabs of old, "folded his tent and stealthily sneaked away." Courtmarial proceedings may yet be instituted, charging the erstwhile "Col." Hamilton with "cowardice while facing the enemy."

Efforts have been renewed by a number of individuals and clubs to interest the Afro-Americans here and elsewhere in the case of "Chicken" Joe Campbell now held in the Will county jail awaiting trial for the murder of Mrs. E. M. Allen, wife of the warden. The leaders of the movement have made exhaustive investigations through detective agencies and from their reports they are firmly of the opinion that Campbell is innocent. Mr. F. L. Barnette former assistant states attorney of Cook county, has agreed to give his services in defense of Campbell. When seen by a representative of the Defender regarding the case Mr. Barnette said: "I am as much convinced, as I have ever been convinced about anything in my life that Campbell is innocent of the crime. I have made several trips to Joliet and interviewed Campbell a number of times. His story is straightforward and clear to the minute detail. I also talked with a number of other persons, whose names I cannot mention, and from strengthened in Campbell's innocence." Race Should Help.

Millions of Outraged Afro-American Relatives and Friends of the Thousands Murdered Like Frank Deplore His Brutal Cutting Off, but Hope That It Is the Means to the Right End. Leo M. Frank, for whose defense millions of money was contributed by the Jewish people throughout the country, was taken by a mob from the Milledgeville, Ga., prison farm on Monday night and lynched within a stone's throw of the birthplace of Mary Phagan, for whose death he was serving a life sentence in the Georgia penitentiary.

"The South is barely half educated. Whatever there is explicable in the murder of Leo M. Frank is thus explainable. Leo M. Frank was an atom in the American structure. He might have died, unknown and ignored a thousand deaths more agonizing in preliminary torture and more cruel in final execution and have had no effect, but the spectacle of a struggling human being, helpless before fate as a mouse in the care of a cat, will stagger American complacency. The news of Frank's lynching occupied the front page of every daily paper in the land. Interviews from prominent persons everywhere, including the president of the United States, condemnatory of the outrage have been widely published. The consensus of opinion is that Georgia is disgraced. South Only Half Educated. For the first time in fifty years, notwithstanding five thousand Afro-Americans during this period have been lynched or burned at the stake, the South is held up by the northern public press as barely half educated. Says the world's greatest newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, speaking editorially: "The South is backward. It shames the United States by illiteracy and incompetence. Its hill men and poor whites, its ignorant and violent politicians, its rotten industrial conditions and its rotten social ideas exist in circumstances which disgrace the United States in the thought of Americans and in the opinion of foreigners. "When the North exhibits a demonstration of the violence against law by gutter rats of society there is shame in the locality which was the FOREIGNERS ON CITY AND COUNTY PAY ROLLS NO MORE Must Be a Citizen to Draw Pay From. This County—Men of Race Should Be Given Work. Heretofore any Greek, Hebrew, Slav or any other nationality could receive a job at the Cook county building—from a janitor to a chief clerk. No question was asked whether he was a citizen, had he been to the penitentiary or not; the only question was, did the face look white. The Afro-American race was little considered. The race that has slaved for the country, felled the trees, built its railroads, labored day and night to change this section from a swamp to a city beautiful was not given opportunity to be even scrub women. Things Have Changed. Things have changed now. You must be a full fedged citizen. As a result now thirty-two women were cut off the county pay roll.

He might have died, unknown and ignored a thousand deaths more agonizing in preliminary torture and more cruel in final execution and have had no effect, but the spectacle of a struggling human being, helpless before fate as a mouse in the care of a cat, will stagger American complacency. "The South is half educated. It is a region of illiteracy, blunt self-righteousness, cruelty and violence. Until it is improved by the invasion of better blood and better ideas it will remain a reproach and a danger to the American republic." Verily the "Lord works in mysterious ways." The summary ushering into eternity of thousands of Afro-Americans by the spirit of the mob barely caused a ripple upon the surfaces of the waters. Now Frank, whose case attracted the attention of the civilized world, run counter to the spirit of the howling mob, and the nation is aroused. And this, too, after the majesty of the law had taken its course. The court of last resort had entered its final decree. The law had been vindicated. Not so. however, with the mob. Cry Out for Blood. Its members cry out for blood and blood they must have. And Frank was forcibly taken, in the darkness of the night, from his legally constituted guardians, and hung by the neck until he was dead.

This didn't help any, however, because the civil service commission was advised through the county law department that what is left of the Cook county civil service law—which runs only as to Oak Forest, the county hospital and a few scattering places since the knockout of the country-wide statute and the refusal of the legislature to re-entact a decent act—provides that all employees in the county classified service must be "citizens of the United States."

OLD STORY OF SMALL TOWN GIRL AND A BIG CITY Tragic End of Marie Cross While Ironing at Her Home, 29th and Wabash Avenue. Friday night about 7 o'clock at the corner of Twenty-ninth and Wabash Avenue, while she was busy ironing in the kitchen, the cross was brutally murdered, and an assailant was accused by the police. Friday, the thirteenth, the day that most people claim is unlucky, brought an end to a vared life. It was a sudden and unexpected end, one that goes with all tragedy. Behind it lies a long story, the story of a jealous woman, the story of a jealous lower, the story of a broken hearted mother and that of a motherless child. Twenty-nine years ago in Columbus, Ohio, Marie Cross was born. Coming to the great city she drifted, to the early age, she was separated. A little later, she met Ohio city today watching the vast thrombs at the great encampment little knowing that her dear mamma who was to visit her only a few months ago, is gone. May the truth never be known to her. She is 9 years old. down in Indianapolis is an old gray haired mother, broken-hearted from grief. She came upon the receipt of the telegram and was overcome when she entered Dan Jackson's undertaking establishment. Yet when the body was taken away she had yet to look up at her mother, who could have blamed her? She, too, had seen her only a short white back. Big, beautiful Marie Cross and the poor mother could not carry the sight for the rest of her life. She took the body back with her. When the last spendfull of earth is cast upon the casket when the final words are said the closing of a girl that was very hindsighted yet failed to follow the early teachings of her mother, will be ended. That Marie Cross was murdered is an evident fact. She was discovered about an hour after it happened lying on the floor with her skull crushed from a blow delivered by an ax in the hands of some one. She had been attending to her household duties. Dressed in her underwear, stockings, a pair of slippers, with a pink and white checked apron as many women wore, ironing. Who ever did the crime stirred her? Without a word of warning and with a vicious blow crushed her skull with the back end of the ax. She never knew what hit her. The iron fell upon her hand, burning her index finger and thumb so that no one would have recognized that it was ever a part of a living human. One of the occupants of the flat opened the door about quarter to eight Friday and upon receiving no response to the kitchen. The door was closed when opened it but there was something hollow in the gate it a shove. The door gave jungle and the form of a foot could be seen. A sharer shove and there was Marie Cross lying with her head in a pool of blood. The woman gave a scream and started for the doctor. In the meantime crowds began to gather. Doctor Lawton was the first on the scene. The police were there and the crowd in the street had grown to such proportions that Dr. Lawton found it to wedge his way through. Upon examination he pronounced her dead. She was there and Jackson's undertaking place. The body was still warm when it arrived at the undertaker's. Monday her mother came and took charge of the body. She went into hysteria, but refused to see the body. Nothing could be done then; her girl had gone. What does the breaking heart of a mother mean to the outside world? Those whom her daughter had taken up with were rank惨妇, and all that they could or would say were sorry. A half crazed man had dered the girl. All her grief, all her sorrow could not bring her back. Now comes the other part of the sad tragedy—Marie as she was known to every one, was a fine-looking woman of medium build. She had an olive complexion, a beautiful head of straight black hair. She kept a flat in the big apartment building at the southwest corner of Twenty-eighth and Avenue. Marie formed a bed at the Mecca apartments in flat 210, but she sold her things and went home to see her child. After moving to the Wabash avenue flat she became acquainted with several men, one of whom the police suspected. He is about 50 years old, light brown skin, cut on right side of upper lip. MRS. T.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER BRILLIANT RECEPTION IN WESTERN COUNTRY (By Mrs. David Hooker) AUTHORS AND WRITERSTOMEET IN WINDY CITY Most Distinguished Men and Women of the Race Expected at the Conference of Writers—City Ready to Welcome Them. DR. M. A. MAJORS, PRESIDENT. An Exhaustive Program Arranged—Leaders and Moulders of Public Opinion to Encourage Race to Further Progress—Limelight for Bright Intellects. The Authors' and Writers' meeting will excel any meeting of its kind ever in America. In fact, Afro-American Authors are a new order in our race formation and although several meetings have taken place, while Mr. Douglass lived, yet this in point of numbers and intellectual ability promises more than our modesty will give utterance to. There will be with us the most distinguished men and women of our race in letters and arts. About four hundred letters have been received from every part of the nation. Our very greatest authors, orators, writers and thinkers have accepted to appear on our exhaustive program which covers the lives of deeds dear to every race lover's heart. The race armed with every weapon of ingenuity intellectually will appear before the bar of public opinion. He will ask a few questions, he will answer a few questions, and he will say some things in, language with proper inflections and emphasis placed on every word. The citizens of Chicago may again take pardonable pride in the very fact that they will have as their guest a most distinguished author, writers and authors, who will measure up to the doctors in point of intellect and all other graces of sobriety and early hours. Rest assured that during the coming week, do not suspect you are meeting an author every time you see some one with a book under his arm. Authors seldom, if ever, sell their own books. Again do not be mistaken if you should find a bunch of people thickly gathered about some grandiose orator, you will also find that you lack one of those great authors. Authors are not always according to arrangement and order, but put what they know in books and sell it. Of course if you ever had an opportunity to get something for nothing don't fail to attend the big authors' meetings. $3000 a Y Mail Order LYLES & SON TRANSFER, EXPRESSING, STORAGE PACKING AND SHIPPING Baggage Trips Daily 9 a. m. and 4 p. m.

THE HIGH-BROWN We have opened "The High-Brown" display room No. 5, at 3519 State Street, for the purpose of showing you the ORIGINAL HIGH-BROWN FACE POWDER as there are many imitations on the market sold under such names as "Brown Face Powder," "Brown Skin," and similar names. HIGH-BROWN FACE POWDER was originated by us—we have the name copyrighted in the United States Patent Office, and it is the first and only face powder ever made especially for colored people. Only first class articles are imitated—the very fact that so many imitate our articles is proof in itself that ours is of a superior quality. When you buy a face powder for a "High-Brown" that has not the name Overton-Hygienic on it, you have been imposed upon; for you have bought an imitation, which is inferior to our original "High-Brown." See that our name is on every box you buy. Also Manufacturers of Ro-Zol Face Bleach, Aida Overton Walker Hair Pomade and Other Toilet Articles.

JOHNSON BEATS ECLIPSE Sunday Morning Game to Giants 4 to 1 — Defeated the Lincoln Stars in the Final Game, Crawford Pitching. The American Giants defeated the Lincoln Stars last Thursday afternoon in the first game of the season. Owls pitcher Bill Murray, the condition of the ground and the weather the game was called, was in the fourth inning on account of darkness. At this time the Giants started the first game and held the game until the final batting order. He placed Barber as lead off man, who was on short and Parks was on short. Sunday morning the Giants went to the Northwest Side and trimmed the Roseland Eclipse nine 4 to 1, Johnson doing the pitching. Criss pitched a fine game against Foster's men but was given indifferent support. The score: American Giants .....1 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 0—1 Eclipse .....0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0—1 Errors—Johnson, Barber, Sullivan (3), Ganzer, Maginel, Maullin. Two-base hits—Barber, Sehick, Ganzer.

Whitworth pitched a grand game, shutting the Cubans out, and should have been credited with a one-hit game, but Murphy, the new outfielder of Rube's, misjudged a fly and the scorers gave the Cubans a hit on it. Had Murphy played the ball right Villa would have been out. It was a fast game, being over in an hour and twenty-five minutes. The American Giants. R. H. P. A.

IF BABIES ARE WORTH WHILE GIVE THEM ALL THEY ARE WORTH As the Heliplasa Member of the Family, the Health Department Again Pleads for Him—Who Can Estimate the Future of an Infant? (Press Service, Department of Health, WHO would assume the responsibility of counseling the children of those born in a manger? Who can tell them? How many babies died—Baby Washington, Baby Lincoln, Baby Ellen, etc. Renames the that the baby is the helpiest of the babies? How many babies speak for it. It needs the best of care and attention. If it were worth while, they should have all they are worth. How many North Carolina has been conducting an antiphylaxis campaign and with five counties in the state, over 25,000 people have been confined to five counties in the state, over 25,000 people have been protected against typhoid. I, a similar campaign was started in five new counties and with every indication that it will be successful. July 11, the plan of operation, as outlined by the State Board of Health, was to send the serum for the first and second treatment and the people to pay for the third The gratifying feature of the work thus far accomplished has been the enthusiasm with which the people have responded, to avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded for protection against typhoid, which has been well named, the "King of Filthy Diseases." Here in Chicago, following the Eastland disaster, through the Department of Health and the Western Electric Company, the anti-typhoid treatment was offered and given to all of the survivors who would accept it. There is urgent need that everyone who has reason to believe that he has been exposed to the danger of polluted food or drink, to take the treatment immediately after such exposure. Beware of dangerous summer resorts. Polluted water and filth carrying flies are the obvious danger signs. Some Seasonable Suggestions. Don't worry; don't overeat; don't look at a thermometer; drink sparingly, of food cold drinks of any kind; don't lose your temper; take a dip in the lake when you can; keep the flies out of the home.

Aug. 20.—If one cares not what they say, we are enjoying delightful weather at the present writing, with the thermometer at 105. * * * The Baptist Church on last Sunday afternoon baptized two persons at the First Baptist Church. There was quite a large crowd in attendance, and a very spiritual meeting was held. The church was a large, well-organized, self-organized, self-enlightened, self-enlightened, self-enlightened church. * * * The services at the Methodist Church were very impressive at both the morning and evening sessions, the attendance was not as large as might have been, but those who were present, and who were present, were so grand, so spirit, and the result was that each one departed for feeling better for having been there. * * * Mr. P. C. Poquas, of the Santa Rita, returned to the city a few days ago from his vacation which was spent at El Paso, Texas, and he says that he was going to stay here for a few days. Mr. Poquas visited with the various Mason-led oaks of which he is a member, and it being his first time to visit his home lodge in ten years, it was necessary to have some one identify him, as all his friends were. He had forgotten him. He looked so much as good as he was. He left the Border City. * * * Mr. H. L. Bolton has returned from her vacation spent in California where she visited the fairs, and she states that it is an education in itself. * * * Mr. Geo. Miller, the busy man, has been here for a few days. He has a visitor in the city from the Cornakabi District. Mr. Miller reports very encouraging prospects for the stockholders of this corporation and contemplates going into extensive operations at the present building. Mrs. Robert Charles left the city a few days ago to his husband in Colorado, where they expect to reside permanently. * * * Mr. R. M. Lawson has in circulation a number of petitions to be presented to the City Council, protests against the motion to close the building. Mr. R. M. Lawson has been a member of the Local Theaters. It is that we shall be able to prevent this film from exhibiting in the city.

When referring to the obstruction, tale bearer, etc., in our community, your correspondent is not pleading in his own behalf, but in the interests of those who can be harmed thereby. Your correspondent admits that he is the worst person in the community and that his character is so smutty that it will rub off, but feels that where this may be the case in this particular instance, it does not apply to every person, so let us consider that we may be wronging the other fellow when we maliciously throw stumbling blocks in his pathway and that our acts may come home to us. Burry the hammer and buy a.horn. What about that subscription to The Defender? Have you forgotten that election is only three months off? Better begin to think over it. There are a few men in office that have handed you a lemon and it would be a good idea to give it back to them and in the meantime don't forget that Willis Webster is the agent for The Defender and has your paper every Monday evening.

IT IS CONCEDED BY ALL THINKING PEOPLE that the race as a whole has a long way yet to go before they will be on a solid footing. And this is not meant to strike a discouraging note, but to bring home forcibly and truthfully a fact. We are wont to look upon the comparative handful who have made a place for themselves in the world, as representing the entire race. They do represent what the race is capable of accomplishing and what each individual given the same opportunities can accomplish; but we must not expect the miraculous; we are not of mushroom growth. It has taken ages to bring other races to their present civilization. It will take time for us to reach the same point. For centuries it has been the aim of the Jews to have a place in the sun, to have a spot in this wide world that could be called home. They have suffered as much if not more than have we. Practically slaves in Russia, in other countries buffeted and kicked around, a despised race. They have waited—actively—for their day. It is here. Wealth, power and influence is theirs, and by these and with these have they forced their way into the limelight, and now it is proposed to make Palestine their base. All factions are rapidly uniting to make this possible. The poor and the rich are working to this end. There are something over 14,000,000 Jews, and though they be scattered to the four corners of the earth, they are as united when it comes to racial matters as are peas in a pod. Upon European battlefields 700,000 Jewish soldiers are fighting, and for what? Nothing that will bring them fame or fortune. They were just caught in the vortex and whirled along. They have made good citizens wherever located, and have fought, bled and died for governments that have done naught but oppress them. ```markdown ``` May the Jews succeed far beyond their expectations in this latudable movement. They are and have been setting an excellent example for us that has meant much to our development. The road is long and at times we are tired and weary, but there is a subtle something that bids us push on, the goal is but a little way ahead and we take up our journey with renewed vigor. Collective success means individual success and it is well to remember that each plays an important part in the great scheme of things. ROMAN ORGIES REPEATED. THIS IS THE AGE OF REALISM, no longer are we satisfied to draw upon our imagination to fill in the blank places. The stage that once held us in breathless wonder by painted scenes on canvas has given way to the realistic. Water must actually fall now on the stage that we might have a true rain effect, no more tramping of horses in the distance, they must put in an appearance and so on down the line. We have read of the barbarities practiced in the dark ages, we have shuddered at the cruelties inflicted upon man and beast alike by the old Romans, and yet in this supposedly the most civilized country on the face of the globe, the atrocities of the past pale into insignificance compared to those enacted right here and now in some sections of the country. The morbid tendency of the age was never more forcibly illustrated than recently at Starkville, Miss, when five thousand men, women and children ate, drank and made merry while two wretched souls were dropping to death before their gaze from a scaffold. The county authorities had decided in favor of a "public hanging" and the public took advantage of the opportunity to witness the gruesome spectacle, bringing with them fried chicken, pie, sandwiches and other picnic edibles, even bursting into song while peanut, popcorn and candy venders circulated through the throng, disposing of their wares. The two victims standing as exhibits on the platform for fully half an hour awaiting their doom. That this great throng should make the revolting spectacle the excuse for a picnic, and should feast and enjoy themselves as the law's victims dangled in death agony at the ends of ropes, seems to emphasize and give ground for credence of the oft-repeated statement that our civilization is after all but a thin veneer, and many at least, are not far removed from those savage tribesmen which have not yet succumbed to the influence of Christianity and civilization. The scene in the Mississippi dell must not have been altogether, unlike one of those old Roman orgies, in which the happy populace was wont to assemble in gala attire to watch the death struggles of human sacrifices in the dens of wild beasts, and this too is the twentieth century. --- COMMUNITY CONSCIOUSNESS. SEEMS A DIFFICULT TASK to arouse the masses to a vic duty, to make them see and believe they must be unit as other races have been compelled to do to Fifty Years Ago—But Not Now Mr. Wilson, worthy man, has not yet passed the stage of regarding every person as "Uncle who seek broken victuals or its equivalent.—Extract from editorial in Buffalo Express Nov. 14, 1911. WHITE HOUSE TOM POPPIN Mr. Wilson, worthy man, has not yet passed the stage of regarding every person as "Uncle" or "Mammy" who seek broken victims or its equivalent—Extract from editorial in Buffalo Express Nov. 14, 1914. not in another? There is a difference in the personnel of mobs just as there is honor among thieves. There is no question but what OUR mob did the right thing, would that their example could be emulated by THEIR mobs. CLARENCE S. DARROW, the noted sociologist, says "Humanity has made no progress in a thousand years." The lynching of Leo Frank by a Georgia mob certainly is a repetition of customs in vogue in the darker ages. The empire state of the South whose constitution a century and a half ago was founded upon justice, wisdom and moderation, in the latter days of higher civilization writes into her record "Mob law, debauchery and crime." But perhaps after all, the death of Leo Frank may be only a sacrifice, an offering at the tribunal of justice which may turn the eyes of the nation upon the beastly practices the entire South inflicts upon the colored man. Upon the South it may have a salutary effect of teaching them what a two-edged sword is mob law. The danger in familiarizing one's self with the custom of taking the law in one's hands without rhyme, reason or due process acts as a boomerang. Moral: As ye sow so shall ye reap. CHICAGO'S UNDERWORLD is undergoing a shake-up the like of which has not been seen "since Heck was a pup." Of course this is not happening before it is necessary the crooks of every caliber have been holding high carnival and the decent citizens of Chicago insisted upon a halt, and luckily we have a mayor and a chief of police who have the right stuff in them. The rascals should be driven to the four corners of the earth and pushed off. THE WAR CLOUD is hanging dangerously low and from present indications a little tussle with those of the big sombrero is imminent. It seems a pity to waste a lot of precious blood and get nothing in return for it. President Wilson's policy to let the rascals fight it out among themselves, isn't a half bad idea. If we just must go down there why not keep what we take, Monroe Doctrine or no Monroe Doctrine? CHICAGO DAILY PAPERS, ALL OF THEM, on yesterday praised a Southern mob for burning one of us to death, and along with the lynchers derided us, and today they are crying because the lynchers pull down their "golden calf." WELL, OUR FRIENDS ARE HERE with mouths, eyes and cars open and it is up to the denizens of the "Windy City" to make good not only the animals in Lincoln Park but the hole in the lake where it caved in. AFTER EVERY OTHER TOPIC has been exhausted it is in order to talk about the weather, but there has been so much weather this summer it both begins and ends the ordinary conversation. THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA SAYS—but it doesn't seem to matter what he says so what's the use in repeating it. Any time a mob runs the state government it is time to close up shop. IN THE MEANTIME it might be well to keep a weather eye open for the confidence men a large gathering is bound to bring out, carry only what is absolutely necessary and you will be safe. THE PRACTICAL JOKER who put the sign "Skating in Washington Park" on a street car the other day, wasn't so far wrong after all, and the calendar informs us this is August. IT IS NOW PREDICTED that the European war will last eighteen months longer. This prediction must be an awful blow to the fortune tellers who have been seeing the end for the past six months, at so much per. FIVE TOUSAND YOUNG WOMEN are working in the Krupp ammunition factory, most of them had handled powder in some form before assuming their present duties. TO OUR VISITORS if you really must have the last word in newspaperdom why not subscribe for "The world's greatest weekly" anybody will give you the name. THE AFFAIR at Joliet is shaping up a little different than was expected. It never pays to take snap judgment. The "nigger" isn't always in the woodpile. THE GERMANS have taken unconditionally every town with some unpronounceable name in Russia, and all the natives do is to rush out of the way. EVEN LYNCHING CAN BECOME A HABIT—NOTE NUMBER OF WHITES WHO HAVE MET THAT FATE. derive the benefits life affords. There is no better time than the present to give consideration to matters which are of community interest. It is the duty of each and every one to give their mite and their encouragement that the institutions built and conducted for the welfare of the race may be on a sound footing and in a position to further the noble work they are doing. If they who rant and condemn the uplift work that a certain band of unselfish citizens are attempting to do, could but realize how small they are mentally, how they were shutting the door of Hope in their own faces, perhaps their knocks would turn to boosts. Invariably it is the man or woman who has never set foot in a race institution and know nothing save from hearsay, of its workings, who is loudest in condemnation. Who can gainsay the fact that we need a Y. M. C. A., a home for the aged and infirm, a hospital, social settlements, a W. C. T. U. and other institutions of similar character? These things do not concern our race alone, but are of vital interest to both races. The betterment of one means the betterment of both. The things that hinder the colored boy are just as numerous as those that hinder the white boy, and the things that help are fewer. Then why should we put stumbling blocks in our own way? Julius Rosenwald, our friend, offers to give $25,000 towards the building of a Y. M. C. A. in any city provided that a total fund of $100,000 is raised. If some manufacturing concern would offer to invest $25,000 commercial bodies of the interested city would sit up and take notice, but are they so eager to grasp the chance to secure $25,000 to be invested in a character factory than which there is no more important product? The civic, commercial and religious interests on any project that has for its object the betterment of the race, it is a community concern and as such deserves the best that is in each and every one of us. WATCHING OVER HAYTI HOW FAR THE UNITED STATES WILL GO toward forcibly restoring peace in the Republic of Hayti remains to be seen. At present there lays in her harbor a nicely painted but formidable looking American warship whose ten inch guns can speak louder and with more telling effect, than all the "notes" that the diplomats at Washington could write in a hundred years. They speak a language that every tongue understands and are a powerful incentive to be good. The restless in the different nations seem to think it necessary every so often, to start a revolution, they are never at a loss for what they term a logical excuse or reason. When the President was recently dragged from the French Legation and murdered, what gave evidence of being a life sized revolution was in sight and only the presence of our war vessel saved the situation so far. Previous to the French revolution in 1789 upwards of 500,000 natives were slaves under European masters. Toussaint L'Ouverture was the military hand that made the revolt successful. The slaves free he at their head conquered the Spanish residents for the French and drove the English from the island. It is often dangerous to rise to great heights as was the case with Toussaint L'Ouverture. Napoleon, jealous of his fame, had him spirited away to a French dungeon where he shortly died. Furious indignation spread among the Haytians culminating in a revolution which ended in the birth of the Haytian Republic in 1804. The little republic has had a stormy career but it is worth while for the United States to intervene and place them again on a sound basis. Who knows but from this source some day a mighty power will spring up and Ethiopia will again stretch forth her hand. A DIFFERENCE IN MOBS. THERE ARE MOBS and there are other mobs, the general impression being that there is little difference between them. An incident that happened in Georgia, the home of mobs, will prove that this impression is an erroneous one. A deputy marshall arrested a woman for no real good reason save that she was not of his race and dared to assert her rights; a number of her friends gathered around the officer and demanded her release. Here we pause to quote from a southern paper. "By a show of nerve, however, and stressing the warning that he would shoot the first one who attempted to harm him or release his prisoner, the officer defied the would-be rescuers, and after a scene of excitement that lasted several minutes, safely landed the woman in jail." Shades of the immortal Lincoln. One white man found little difficulty unaided and alone in holding back an angry mob composed of members of our race, while he landed a prisoner in jail. Suppose for a moment the mob that wanted the prisoner was composed of whites, in one's wildest dreams could it be imagined the same protection would be meted out. Would not the prisoner innocent or guilty pay the usual penalty in less time than it takes to tell the story? Are the members of our race cowards or law abiding citizens? If an officer of the law can protect in one in 'nce why EDITOR'S MAIL An Almanac Monopoly. All Almanac Monopoly. The sale of almanacs was once a lucrative monopoly. Queen Elizabeth granted the sole right to print "almanacs and prognostications" to the Stationers' company, and James I extended the privilege to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but for centuries only these three bodies were pe, nitted to issue print calendars. The monopoly ended when the claim of the king to the privilege of granting or withholding permission to issue calendars—a survival, perhaps, from days when kings asserted their right to regulate all things, including even the times and seasons—was definitely disproved and proclaimed nonexistent. Now anybody can say who's who anywhere.—London Chronicle. A Toast. Here's to the mouth! It is the grocer's friend, the orator's pride and the dentist's hope. THAT GEORGIA MOB. The South Has Always Been Backward By W. Allison Sweney 1 Said the Chicago Tribune in its issue of Wednesday, August 18, commenting on the Frank lynching: comes maudlin, mildly hysterical in vaporings over the lynched Hebre and speaks of him so brittle. comes maudlin, mildly hysterical in its vaporings over the lynched Hebrew, and speaks of him as being an "atom" in our "American structure," and that the mode of his taking off "the spectacle of a struggling human being, helpless before fate as a mouse in the care of a cat," and that the same is calculated to "stagger American complacency," it is enough to drive one to crime, to the slaughtering of the mother who almost entered the gates of death to give him to the world. Either this or growing suddenly "bughouse," to rob little hubs of their sugar teats, the sog of his trough of swill, or in the gibberish of a mind "jangled and bent out of tune," to curse God and die, that He should permit SUCH hypocrisy, such downright, cursed, RIDICULOUS hypocrisy, to offend the ear and assault the intelligence of this bright age and day. "The South is backward. It shames the United States by illiteracy, and incompetence. Its hill men and poor whites, its masses of feared and bullied blacks, its ignorant and violent politicians, its rotten industrial conditions, and its rotten social ideas exist in circumstances which disgrace the United States in the thought of Americans and in the opinion of foreigners. "When the North exhibits a demonstration of violence against law by gutter rats of society which is shame in the locality which was the scene of the exhibition. When the South exhibits it there is defiance of opinion. "The South is barely half educated. Whatever there is explicable in the murder of Leo M. Frank is thus explainable. Leo M. Frank was an atom in the American structure. He might have died, unknown or ignored, a thousand deaths more agonizing in preliminary torture and more cruel in final execution, and have no effect, but the spectacle of a struggling human being, helpless before fate as a mouse in the care of a cat, will stagger American complacency. Was it required for the knowledge of the Chicago Tribune, for the unloosing of its tongue, nineteen times in twenty locked and paralyzed when the fair word, the humano appeal is due to the Negro—was it required that this one white man, this Jewish "atom," should have been lynched, dragged by his heels to his death, to apprise "the world's greatest newspaper" of the staggering effect of lynching upon "American complacency"? "The South is half educated. It is a region of illiteracy, blantant self-righteousness, cruelty and violence. Until it is improved by the invasion of better blood and better ideas it will remain a reproach and a danger to the American republic." AMERICAN COMPLIACENCY? Such words are foreign to my everyday workaday vocabulary. I do not use them; was taught not to. But to hear the Chicago Tribune prato of "complacency," the American seven-sided article—six to one against the black man on any watch, morning noon or night. I wish I dared to utter the language that rises to my lips; dared to write, Oh, Beans, Bosh! As I read this eleventh-hour Uriah Heap pecksnifflian admission I am afraid my muttered comment, there being others present, was comprised of but two words—OH, HELL! WHEN WAS THE TIME—can the memory of any living man, the recorded testimony of any man dead run back to the day—WHEN THE SOUTH WAS NOT BACKWARD? What of the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF BLACK "Atoms," of men, women, boys and girls who, within the near years, filling the wide earth with their shrieks of agony, their shrieks for mercy, have been hunted, lynched, burned, shot, outraged, run to the earth like rats, and after the mercy of death overtook them, whether in the day's mid-watch or the midnight hour, in lonely swamp and swale, or by the side of lonely roads, were left to rot in the heat of a tropic sun, disemboweled, dismembered, or fed like offal to the bird of prey circling above their "murder spot," or the razor-backed swine running .wild...in many quarters of that "curse section" of our land? Lives there a man this side of heaven, but heading like all of us, from king to beggar, to the grave, who does not know that in its conception and cherishment of those ethics of RIGHT THINKING, RIGHT LIVING, of CIVILIZATION AND HUMANITY, which, as against those of the barbarian and the pagan, are a mark and a sign to the weary and heavy laden, THE SOUTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN BACKWARD—a sucker of the hind teat, a muddier of the stream, a jade and a slattern, THE THIEF AND THE MURDERER among the sections marking the geographic divisions of our land? What, I ask of the Chicago Trioune of these "atoms," these thousands upon thousands of black "atoms?" If the death or, to use your designation, the murder of a single white "atom" is about to "stagger American complacency," how does it happen, do you think, that the murdering of thousands of Negro "atoms," stretching back through many years, has never touched or feazed you to any perceptible extent; and that but for brief days at a time. WHEN DID IT NOT SHAME by its "illiteracy" and "incompetence"? Exhausting years through the prick of its half-baked intellectuality to prove through God's sacred book the holiness of human slavery, and in its behalf drenching half a continent in blood, that, but for northern brain, brawn and money, would today be but a stinking wilderness—ONE VAST MAUSOLEUM OF DEAD MEN'S BONES AND BLOTTED HOMES, where in lieu of the hum of industry, the song-of the spindle, the music of revolving machinery spelling millions in its tireless clatter, the hiss of the serpent would greet the cars, and the slime and trail of creeping things waylay the traveler on his way. Always you have known that the South was "backward," "illiterate," "incompetent," "self-righteous," "cruel" and violent. ALWAYS you have known of its "hill men," its "poor whites," its "ignorant and violent politicians" its "rotten industrial conditions," and always you have remained silent, have kept your mouth closed—and why? Do you, or did you, reckon the life of one white man, this "murdered" Hebrew, with millions for defense behind him, of more importance, as wielding a greater influence over the future of "American complacency" than those of the thousands of murdered black men? WHEN—who knows; who can point to the time, the hour, the day, the year—when not only "the United States," but every Christian land under the sun was NOT disgraced, is NOT being disgraced, shamed and nauseated each minute of this very passing day by "ITS ROTTEN SOCIAL IDEAS," that soars and withers where it lingers, and in the conception of which and its practices has robbed millions of a birthright—the respect and protection of acknowledged fatherhood? W. ALLISON SWEENEY. 3250 Vernon Ave. I hold no brief as to the innocence or guilt of the lynched Jew. Although such is the atmosphere, the tradition clinging to the courts of all southern states as between a white and a black man seeking vindication at their hands, it is difficult to believe this Georgia jury erred in its verdict when it was so possible to have selected the Negro in the case to fit it upon, and in the end hang him by his black neck to the nearest tree or telegraph pole. But when the Chicago Tribune be- Punishment of Parricides. The Romans punished parricides by first scourging the criminal, then sewing him up in a leather sack made afr-tight, with a live dog, a cock, a ylper and an ape, and thus casting him into the sea.
