Special to Defender Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 17, 1915.—Mr. Isaac Fisher, many times prize winner in national essay contests, is not resting on his cars, but keeps adding to his laurels. Recently, the Birmingham News of Alabama said: "Isaac Fisher, editor of the Tuskegee Negro Farmer, who has gained nationwide fame as a writer on economic and business questions for which he has won many prizes, has written a love drama entitled 'When True Love Wins.'

FISK STUDENTS MAKE STATEMENT ON RECENT DANCE Members of the Famous Educational Institution Claim Rumor False That Visitor Paraded White Paramour at the Reception Given at Dreamland Sept. 2. ARTICLE WELL WRITTEN British Subject Legally Married to Lady Connected in "Windy City"—Only White Man Present, says Committee. A committee from the Fisk Alumnae came to the office of Chicago Defender this week and met the staff. They gave the editor the following article which explains itself: To the Public: The graduates and former students living in Chicago invited visiting graduates and their Chicago friends to attend reception at Dreamland Hall, September 2, the proceeds from which are to go to Tisquem University. The affair, from a social and a financial point of view, was a decided success, there being a large attendance of Chicago's leading people. The management was fully satisfied that everything had been done with credit to the university and had received many encomfums from the visitors and Chicago friends who attended. It was, therefore, with shock and deep regret that the committee's attention was drawn to the erroneous statement in last week's issue of the Chicago Defender that a woman had openly paraded her white Southern paramour without molestation on the part of the management. The undersigned, who formed the committee on management, wish it very clearly stated to the public, on whose judgment they rely, that there was no such white person present at the reception as described in the columns of the Defender. The truth of the matter is that there was present a prominent white citizen of Canada, who is LEGALLY MARRIED to a colored lady, well connected in Chicago, the cousin of a prominent attorney practicing here. This gentleman was vouched for by Dr. A. C. Browne, of whom he is a patient and friend. Any person especially interested in ascertaining the identity of this gentleman can obtain information in regard to his reputation, matrimonial connections, present address and calling from any member of this committee. In fairness to all Fisk graduates and the institution which stands for intellectual development, social and moral uplift, we are beaten through the columns of the Defense Department and the information upon which this article was based was the best kind of fabrication, especially so since the only permission which we have in our probability refer, were neither Southern nor connected with Fisk University. It is but just that it should also be stated in this connection that many graduates of Fisk University are engaged in the practice of professions, in pursuit of business, the departments of the city and Federal Governments, in civic and public work and in general, give prominence to the importance of racial life in the city of Chicago. These same graduates and former students have too high a conception of the standards of countenance or tolerate anything which would be detrimental from the ideals of right living and right life. We herein express the hope and belief that this explanation will serve to disobserve the minds of the readers of the article and the public in general of any wrong impression which may have been given by the article or its headlines. Thanking you for past patronage of our efforts to aid our beloved university and asking a continuance of the same, Respectfully, James P.

They were to have their annual meeting at the First Regiment Armory. Some of them did and some did not. The action of the body is sadly condemned by the people of this city. All that was done to build up the race and its progress during the last fifty years in this city was forgotten by the other races when they read the accounts in the daily papers of how a supposed body of educated men, and at that ministers of the gospel, had failed to come together like men and decide their differences. No, they still hung to the old-time spirit of going to And white man to decide. Trouble Starts/to Brew. The meeting opened Wednesday morning. It was the thirty-fifth annual convention. After the opening exercises the Rev. A. D. Williams of Georgia made a statement that the Baptist churches were getting too up-to-date by putting in billiard tables and bath tubs in order to reach the people. Then the Rev. Brooks of Anderson, S. C., got the attention of the chair. He offered a resolution asking the convention to consider a charter that a committee had obtained from the organization. As soon as Dr. Brooks offered the resolution the Rev. Sutton Griggs of Memphis answered him and moved that it be tabled. A vote was taken and the motion lost. Mr. Morris ruled that the resolution was out of order. At this juncture the followers of the Boyd faction yelled at Dr. Morris. They were met with shouts and hisses from the Morris faction. Some one yelled a remark concerning the publishing board getting rich, whereupon a delegate wearing a badge from Louisiana and one from Texas shouted, "Hear Judas," and "Pull In your horns, devil, pull them in." There were groans. Then a leader of the Morris faction on a chair and waving his hat began THE PINEY WOODS COUNTRYLIFESCHOOL The Exhibits of This School at the Semi-Centennial Exposition at Coliseum Deserve a Word.

If you were in Tennessee could tar and feather you." Miss her replied that she was not in Tennessee but that she was in the city Chicago. This enraged the southwoman and she shouted at the of her voice, "You nasty, stinkingger."

Mrs. urnale told Moore that she did not ant "that thing" in there. Moore formed her that he would get him told—n quick. He walked over to the phone and called up Capt. Lavin of the Hyde Park station, asking him whether he had an officer No. 3174, and Layin requested him to let the officer talk to him. Heiser told Lain that he was from the Fourth prefect and that he was not a protec tion officer to find out why she couldn't be paid. At this juncture Mrs. Carneau interrupted.

There was a tussle and Moore hit the officer again, saying that he wouldn't let a 'nigger' officer arrest him, to which Heiser told him that one would this time. He pushed him out the door and took him down stairs. Then Moore said, "I will be taken to the station in a taxicab.

These men have passed civil service and as long as they deserve the backing of the citizens. If Chief Healey refuses to give them a square deal then there is another authority. LADY ELKS PARENT BODY HOLD SERMON Rev. J. G. Robinson Preaches Fine Sermon.—Daughter H. P. Lee Is Presented with Sceptre. —Mrs. Kitty L. Smith Reads Paper.—Lady Elks Not to Unite With Split. Last Sunday evening the 8th annual sermon of the Lady Elks, Parent Body, under the auspices of "B. F. Howard, Grand Chief, and Daughter Henrietta P. Lee, G. D. R., was held at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 50th and Dearborn streets. The new church was naturally decorated and with the white costumes of the Lady Elks made the scene beautiful. A very fine program was rendered, in fact the best in years. Madame Dorsey Peyton, soprano; Mrs. Corine Brown, Unique Temple, rendered solos that were very charming, accompanied by Prof. W. E. Gossett. Mrs. Nellie Green, Elmira Temple 21, introduced the mistress of ceremony, Mrs. Sylvia Carter of Unique Temple 15. A paper was read by Mrs. Mildred Stanford of Unique Temple. Mrs. Katherine Cattrell of Wise presented Daughter H. P. Lee with an Elk Scepter to rule the body. She responded with a neat speech. Brother Ray delivered an oration, representing the brother Elks, a large number of Elks from 43 were present. Mrs. Mayme Pez Irvin of Unique Temple presented flowers to the officers. The Rev. John Robinson, pastor of the church, delivered the annual sermon. He had a many-day, made some inquiry about the Lady Elks for Rev. Robinson's smoke truthfully and beautifully to a body of noble women, who are striving for racial aplift and moral betterment. One of the best parts of the program was the excellent paper by Daughter Kitty L. Smith. She said: "G. D. R., Exalted R., G. Officers and Members of the I. B. P., O. E. of W. For a few moments I will endeavor to give you a small synopsis of the good of the parent body of the I. B. P., O. E. of W. We were first founded by B. F. Howard, G. Chief, in the year of 1901, entered according to the act of Congress, at the office of Librarian, in the same year. The I. B. P. O. E. of W. was founded on fidelity, while thoroughly explains to us its principles—faithfulness, loyalty and honesty. Our second principle is truth, the fairest virgin of the sky. Our third principle is honesty, which is nursed as honor in our hearts. Every lady elk of the parent body promises and swears to practice the virtue of charity. This promise being made to the Supreme Ruler above. Each obligation safeguards the honor and good name of the lady Elks. Dear friends, it would be impossible to open and close our meetings without asking the blessings from the Deity. We take care of the sick and afflicted, assist the poor and the needy, comfort the sorrowful hearts and bury the dead. In the past few years we paid for charity $569, and for sick benefits $2,998.64, and for burials $1,147, and a very small indebtedness, and the remainder in treasury and banks $103.77. Our doors are open to all, our arms are outstretched to the fallen. Come and join us and we will teach you the principle of fidelity of the I. B. P. O. E. of the W." It is not true that the Lady Elks of the Parent Body is to unite with the "spill." GUESS WHO?

MEMBER OF RACE ASSASSINATED BY 'AN ITALIAN Quarrel Over Trivial Matter—City Press Call it "Race War"—Italian Felt Because His Face Was White He Must Have All the Work. Claiming that he had been insulted by William Hall, an Afro-American employed in the water pipe extension department, John Sposito, an Italian, shot and severely wounded him at West Grand avenue and Seneca street on Tuesday of this week. A dispute over some trivial matter arose between the Italian and Hall. Sposito claimed that Hall used vilo and disparaging language towards him. One word brought on another, and the men clashed. Hall was getting the best of the argument when Sposito drew a revolver and fired. The bullet struck Hall inflicting a painful but not fatal wound. In the excitement Sposito escaped, but the officer curled and lodged in the county jail. The affair was of an ordinary street kind that might occur anywhere at any time. The Chicago Daily Tribune, however, with its characteristic desire to sensationalize anything that appears to be a conflict between the white and races, seized this opportunity for scare headlines conveying the impression that a race riot had occurred. It also sought to blame clash or "race conflict" to the employment of so many race men and women by the present city hall administration. The slightest investigation by a representative of the Chicago Defender disclosed the fact that the whole story as painted by the world's greatest newspaper was bolstered up to fit the newspaper's policy of this great (?) newspaper. Time was when the Tribune could be relied upon to the fullest measure, but of late it has come to pass that "if you see it in the Tribune, you may know it is not so." Mr. Hall lives at 1955 Carroll ave nue on the West Side. He is married and has five children, the youngest of whom is two years and one month. The oldest is thirteen years. He has been employed in the water depart ment of the hospital. Hall has operated on at the Passavant hospital. Three bullets were removed from his abdomen and the chances for his re covery are slight. LINCOLN EXPOSITION MONSTER SUCCESS Mayor William Hale Thompson Spoke Wednesday night—Ohio Has Best Exhibit—Major Jackson's Interview. The Exposition has closed. Over 135,000 attended. Mayor William Hale Thompson spoke on Wednesday evening. It was a glorious night. On Thursday night, which was the last, over 7,000 people passed through the gate. The I. R. R. Jackson, a member of the Illinois Commission, who has worked faithfully for its success, said to a Defender reporter: The total attendance was 135,000. Colorado had 100,000. Michigan had a very good exhibit. Other states having exhibits were Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, District of Columbia, Missouri, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Alabama, Oklahoma, Missouri, District of Columbia, Missouri, District of Columbia, 223 years old, showing the way in which meal was ground in the days of old Gun Man Gunner, which was pristine. It is estimated to be worth at least $500,000. The conversation was a financial success I am thankful to the people of Chicago for their liberal patronage of the expoition for the benefit of the fraternal organizations thank you for the expoition in bodies of 500 to 2,000, whose entire attendance was about 22-25 percent of the population, greatly responsible for the success that the jubilee enjoyed. The number of exhibitors in the neighborhood of 26% were their their praise of the expoition as a whole. The largest attendance was on the expoition being 7,000, and with the Elks and Foresters tied for second place, attendance being 7,000, and with the Elks and Foresters tied for second place, attendance being 7,000. Of the opening thousand were denied admission on account of the fire regulations. That of course being a day of free admission to the expoition. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER (Continued from Page 1.) ris and his incorporated bunch, with their followers, proceeded at the regiment. Dr. Washington "on the Wall." Booker T. Washington, the noted educator, spoke at the Armory Friday night, but would not enter into the dispute other than to say that he had the power to speak without becoming little men. Dr Robinson spoke to the convention at the Salem church on "The Preparatory Life of a Christian." The Morris faction will hold their next meeting at Savannah, Ga., and the convention will meet at Kansas City. The fight on Morris, and his followers was led by Attorney D. W. Perkins of Florida and President Moses of Guadalupe College of Texas. They were ardently supported by Dr. Woods of Kentucky, Dr. J. J. Durham of North Carolina, Dr. L. L. Campbell of Texas, Dr. A. A. Galin of Virginia, Dr. E. W. Moore of Philadelphia, Dr. A. Austin of Philadelphia, Dr. and Dr. Brookes of South Carolina. The members of the convention, which includes the board of publishers, issues the following statement through the Defender to the Baptists of the country: "We, the members of the national Baptist convention, unincorporated, beg to state that as loyal Baptists, pastors, states state conventions, associations and Sunday School conventions who were opposed to the un-Baptistic and unprecedented manner in which articles of incorporation were made, we record in the District of Columbia May 17, 1915, by seven brethren, purporting to be members of our own ownership and ownership of all Baptist property hereof belonging to and under the control of our convention, met subject to the president as loyal and lawful Christian of our church to every order and rule of the convention. "These articles of incorporation altered the constitution, and constituted the constitution. We, therefore, inimending that our constitution sets forth in an article that the only way that this constitution or this alteration could lawfully be acted upon is by the first day of the meeting. Now, seeing that a program had been prepared for the first day of the meeting, sent our objections or set forth our wishes at a proper time, after the program had been completed, which motion was properly seconded when motion forth our wishes and objections and which motion was properly put before the president by another motion to table, which motion was voted upon first by yeas and nays. The president, upon the prompt subject, a division of the house was called for and allowed by the president, and the same was put to the house by the president, and byellers appointed by the president. "After this announcement which showed clearly that the wishes of the body by a large majority were in favor of placing these amendments on record to be finally acted upon on the last day of the convention, the president arbitrarily ruled this constitutional act out of order. The brethren felt themselves so aggrieved that they begged an appeal from the decision of the chair, at which time the president yielded the gavel to the vice president at large. The vice president, in order to ascertain the will of the brethren, ordered all who favored sustaining the decision of the president to go over to his right-hand side of the hall, and all who opposed, or were unwilling to sustain the president's decision, to go over to his left-hand side of the hall. Pandemonium reigned for several minutes, but when the brethren could be made to understand the proposition to vote, a clear aisle was made between the brethren, and two tellers were appointed, one from each faction, who took the count and found the vote to stand 310 to sustain the president's decision, and 504 against it. "When the president and vice president saw that the convention had fully decided to stand by its Baptist and God-given rights group, the public, as the event adjourned. The 601, seeing that they had almost two-thirds vote of the event in the future, it adjourned and provided to elect a temporary chairing event, went forward and adopted the resolution. Finding that the president and a minority of the senators were not to be subject to the upon us this un-Baptistic and unprecedented change, we proceeded to do what they had done in the past, and we had been to do and to respond to the changes and the actions of the enfeoffment of delegates and transacted other unsolicited issues, and the来了 the whole thing, and the following such halles, sing, yell and shout, insisting such pandemonium that it was difficult for those who were carrying on business to have an undue need for their activities, and the event was a day of the event, and the regular hour. When the deleteriousness of the event next morning they found that the former was not as good as the legal authorities of the city, and the other of the city would not be so important as to do so, and had placed a large order of police men at the door. They had obtained a special badge, with a special design, and the other of the two men at a retail price of $2 each. No messenger, representative, annual or life-time event was allowed to enter this hall without a call to the public. The 500 and 1,000 people stood on the outside in the open streets in a steady downpouring way, and the two members of the school were beging and plending with the police admission to the hall. Men with their wives stood in the open streets with only the men who were in the public service, and they were in the other city. This forced us to appeal to the state authorities, who issued an injuragement against these unprecedented actions. We were encouraged to do so in the future, but, as on the day before, pandemonium reling. The state was not to be a result of the law, but had been turned out to this, nor any of the Lincoln Exposition Company. We felt that further protest was made to the public. The process of the press was then the convention meet at Salem Baptist Church to save further disgrace and believe the rights of the personal violators are not the only means of representation of annual or life-time events who wish to hold a penceable session to the public. The Salem Baptist Church at the corner of 30th and the Salem Baptist Church and help in the promotion of the Xingdom of Christ, and we further ask all the members of the Salem Baptist Church throughout the country to symbolize with an in-pray for us."

The Baptist Convention, National, which came to an end on Monday, will hold its annual meeting on Tuesday, graceful and, to the mind of the tyrant, disgusting affairs that was over pulled from the church's time to time, a great many humiliating things done in this town, in the name of the hoodlum, so-called members of the cloth hoodlum, so-called members of the cloth hoodlum, so-called members of the cloth bow his head in shame, and has caused every person in the town to bow his head in shame, and has caused our people up to ridelec. Owing to the efforts of a bunch of greasy disorganizers of Mississippi, it looked for a time on Tuesday as if the convention would break out to elect "Jones." Jones and a skew of his followers from the convention hall, after they elected "Jones." Jones and a skew of his books, as well as profane epithets were hurled, and practically one-half of the been overturned. Trouble had been brewing throughout the nation, made by one faction to send through a new charter for the organization, which was made by another, the National body. But the climax was reached, and the trouble really started, with the invasion of Georgia, who among other things, made the statement that churches were getting "too up-in-date, because we are used to reach the people." His Phrase, "The Wise Old Owl," who has been on his perch during the hot weather season, came down during the last few weeks of the war, and the larger conventions which have been held in Chengio, and after deep consideration The Elks, who were in session here from Aug. 29 to Sept. 3rd, and in whose former State street was discovered as power before in the history of the Stroil, cume, and showed themselves to be a clean-cut, well dressed and sober bunch of gentlemen, who held their convention in peace and harmony, ending with a grand street curve over two miles in length, in handsome, specially made uniforms, and field dress, which the members participated in which the members to produce good, red blood. Preschers on the Stroil. On the other hand, the Baptist Con. MAYOR AT JUBILE MAYOR AT LINCOLN JUBILEE, 22,000 CHEER HIM On Wednesday, 8:15 sharp, twenty two thousand men, women and children crowded—crowded is the word—the Coliseum last night to hear Mayor William Hale Thompson deliver an address of Half Century Anniversary exposition. The mayor had a written address to deliver. He tried to deliver it, but the hum of the assembled 22,000 was too much for him. So after reading about one-third of the speech he tossed it to one side and concluded: "This is one of the speech to you few in the front rows, and the rest of you could read parts of it tomorrow morning in the newspapers, to which I have sent copies. But I won't finish. Let me repeat that I am proud to be here and let me add these words; I am asked why I have appointed Negroes in my cabinet. Here's Why He Did It. 1. Because the persons appointed were essentially fitted and qualified for the positions they were selected to fill. 2. Because, in the name of humanity, it is my duty to do what I can to elevate rather than degrade any class of American citizens. 3. Because during the pre-election campaign I gave you my word that I, elected, I would give you a square deal, and Bill Thompson keeps his word. 4. If Mr. Thompson and read the remaining 2,000 words of his prepared address he would have completed his job. 5. Negroes in the United States. He would also have explained more in detail his attitude toward the Negro race. But he could not have received cheers any more vociferous than those which greeted the conclusion of his fifteen minute talk. 6. Mr. Carey Talks. 7. The subject of the mayor's appointments to office was introduced by the President A. M. B. Church, the Institution A. M. B. Church, who presided and presented Mr. Thompson. "The colored people," Mr. Carey said, "ask no favors and no sympathy, nor do they ask any return for any benefit." He may cause political or otherwise. They ask only for what they deserve as American citizens. "Whatever Mayor Thompson has done, whatever he will do, he will do it," he said. "He has an ass of a race once enslaved, but for American citizens who have earned their position. By his appointments Mayor Thompson is merely recognizing the worth of a people, which will stand high in American history—Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley and William Hale Thompson." On the Way to Washington. "William Hale Thompson may not be elected president in 1916," he went on, "but I'm sure he will be in 1920. I helped elect him alderman; I helped elect him county commissioner, I helped elect my district commissioner, and my work will not be completed till I have helped elect him president." "There was further cheering." "I present to you," continued Mr. Carey, as soon as he could make himself heard at all, "your friend and my friend, the biggest man in all Chicago, the best mayor Chicago ever had—William Hale Thompson." Mr. Miller's Curiosity. Then the storm broke. These few hundred who were seated stood. The thousands who were standing strained upward on tiptoe. City Prosecutor James Gilligan, sitting on the platform, jumped to his feet and, waving his arms, encouraged the thousands to even greater efforts. He was alysed by the two race assistants counsel counsels. Louis Anderson, an interior officer, then, as the ma'r, positioned his hand and Owl on His Perch. Here is my answer: Mr. Carey Talks. INVENTION BY THE THEFOREST vention filled the Stroll with a bunch of gin-soaked followers comprising the scum of the South, and who never should be allowed to breathe the unpresiduced air. They think that the unpresiduced could even get car fire this far north seems unreasonable, and there is a well founded report that the expense of the trip for them was finished from fund got together by those interested; but funded as defences for the sole purpose of the benefit that their votes would be to the disorganizers from down beyond This parallel is drawn to show this: EI have given call to sport games, bison games, and soccer games, to "church member" in the country, one minute before the birth of a warm mother to keep their daughters at home in this city. But the EI shows that they were of too good material for such a sport, and that they departed, leaving behind them a feeling that always mean "Welcome" to them in a new way. Make Bad Showing. On the other hand, the people of the Race should resent any future attempt on their own land or other National Convention in Chicago. To think that they would pick out a land of the finest places that the body over had the privilege of using, to put, on their disgusting tactics, in enough to make the race a curse of prejudice, hang their heads in shame. It just goes to show what the tarheel element of the New South will do when they get north of the Mazon and the other lands where privileges which should be accorded human bets. It is plenty of good Baptists, and they are worthy of all the respect due anyone leading a good clean Christian to the rough-secked element should be eliminated from their business sessions, except as pertains their home affairs, chastisement at the hands of the white man only good derived from the visit of the bull-necked gentry during this convention, and taken in by a few gun-sellers and the keepers of a few buff flats, which got great in the bank rolls of the rugged land. LINCOLN E, 22,000 CHEER HIM the cheering subsided, Mr. Miller shouted. "What's the matter with Thompson? And the crowd boomed back: "He's all right!" "Who's all right?" inquired the curious Mr. Miller. "Thompson!" roared the thousands. "Dr. Carey and my friends," began the mayor, stretching out his arms, and brought on another storm of cheering. "More than 100,000 colored men and women," he continued, "have passed through this great hall to see this great exposition; and yet there has been so much written about the petty crimes which unfortunately so often mark big gatherings of people. I doubt if any great undertaking can equal that record. "Praises Race Woman. "I have been presented this evening by the Lord's prayer embroidered on a canvas that was framed. The work was done by Mrs. Laura Davis, one of your people. That gift will go into the mayor's office of the city of Chicago, and it will remain in that office as long as William Hale Thompson is mayor. I hope that the mayor will send me a note, that token will serve to recall my oath of office to uphold the laws of Chicago and give a square deal to all." What He Didn't Say. After the cheering had subsided the mayor picked up his written address and began to read. He reviewed the history of slavery in the United States; and concluded with a discussion of the slavery question at the constitutional convention that formed the union, he gave up. Then followed the summarized explanation of his appointment. Some of the things the mayor wanted to say but didn't, follow: "I know that in some quarters I have been criticised severely for apprehension of citizens to positions of honor, and trust, and dignity. I am glad to take the full responsibility and the honor for making one of those appointments, and I want to ask my critics to open the light of day with their un-American sentiments. "Too much publicity is given the shortcomings and frailties of the colony, and the publicity is given his genius and skill. "We read in the daily prints column after column of sickening detail of the patients we see in some weak, abnormal individual of your race, but sedum do we see accounts of the contributions to the artists, poets, scientists, and educators." Prejudice Still Exists. "Since attaining personal liberty, you are still the victims of relentless and unreasoning prejudice which throws all sorts of obstacles in the path of your advancement. "It is considered presumptuous for an individual of your race to aspire to any position in the laborers' tasks and there have been recent instances where even your right to be considered among the laborers in this city has been challenged. "Not long ago, expressions such as this were common: 'Why, what do you think? The mayor has put some new plants in the garden and planted!' Just as though Negroes are not to be considered human beings. Defends Public Holiday. "In some quarters where it was supposed, the criticism would reflect upon me, there has been measureless complaint against the public holiday which was declared in honor of the fiftieth anniversary, of freedom in this country, because it was being celebrated by the people. "While it is an honor to have even a small part in such a patriotic movement, I am not entitled to fill the credit. The city council of the administrator, preceding mine provided --- "This is not an apology on m. but rather an expression of re. that such a small part in to proceeding. "If the three hundred years' experience of this people in this country don't entitle them to one public holiday, then let us abolish public holidays as foolish and meaningless because one celebrates the emancipation of a million human beings from bondage. What of His Critics? "Criticisms such as those enumerated are un-American and have no place in this land of freedom and oppression. We must be made concerned the nativity of the child it would probably be found that a number of them had come, or their immediate ancestors had come, to this country to escape tyranny and oppression. We must land and to find opportunity in this land and to find the free, and having found it, would shut the door in the faces of others. "It is easy to understand the attitude of our own citizens of southern ancestry, who feel obliged to denounce the child of our nation. How the questionable acts of their former such sentiments are entirely inexcusable when spoken by the children of oppression from any place in the wide world. "You deny equal opportunity to the Negro in this land would be out of harmony with American history, untrue to the sacred principles of liberty and equal rights, and would make a mockery of our boasted civilization and justice, and render meaningless a world opportunity. Believing this as I do would mean that, so far as my power and influence go, you will get a square deal. Not "Love Catching" Scheme. He now a new position for mentor, it is an award scheme. He had the honor to be president of the Perry's victory centennial commission from Illinois, and, as such, a member of the governing board of the organization which participated in the celebration. "On investigation it was found that 40 per cent of Perry's sailors were Negroes, and thereupon I did myself propose to propose a proposition to invite a prominent representative of that race to participate in the exercises commemorating the victory. I resolution, although opposed, was adopted, and I was afterwards fortunate enough to secure the distinction for my friend, our distinguished chairman, Dr. A. J. Carey, who not only reflected glory on him but credit on his race and his state." "John Brown's Body." At the close of the program the crowd stood and sang "John Brown's Body Lies a-Meiderin" in the Grave, and the mayor joined in the chorus that shook the walls of the Coliseum. Jude Tom's Cabo. them' Tom's cabin. Many of them have been calling the city hall Uncle Tom's cabin, but we have for the first time to hear them call it "Island," said Mrs. Eliza White, 21 E. 38th street, while discussing the fairness of the mayor; "and believe me," she said, "if that the cabin that boy there is intruding and pointing the mayor) is one of Uncle Tom's sons in the cabin." * Deaths of the Week (From Records, Department of Health) Winn, Wm. 63 years, 3012 La Salle St. Sept.

CAFE VERY LIVE. Known now as the "Cafe Beautiful"—Liberally Patronized By the Best People—Plenty of Entertainment—Management Gives Employment to Members of the Race.

Cafe has always been recognized as the most famous cafe in Chicago, and it has always been recognized as the most famous of the district as to what kind of its kind would be anything but a pop-up cafe.

Davidson & Lyons, the new proprietors. Our special reporter visited the Pompei, comedulating which has taken place that beautiful bar and cafe in a manner almost unremarkable, which always a handsome place, without a doubt a wonderful place, present among the finest cafes in this or any other district, and the policy of the man who has had years of connection with some of the most successful places south of Pompei. Among other things he had this to say: "In all my years of experiences in the business world, I have always paid a place in this district, a large number amongst my best friends a large number desire to state that every business house that has ever been under my management always given employment to as many of the people as I could possibly help as I could possibly place. I want the people of the district to know that they will be able to create their patronage, and that every effort on the part of the management will give us goods, service and entertainment procurable. Mr. Lyons, who has business connections in several different parts of the city, said: "While we wish it made known that we will not be able to give you, you cannot impress too strongly the fact that we will cater to real ladies and men, you cannot impress too strongly the fact that a place where a man can bring the ladies of his family without fear of any of the annoyances commonly found in cafes in After partaking of a bit of the excelent which is prepared by a real cook in the most sanitary kitchen in the 'belt', our chef will be given the opportunity he considered the Pompel worthy of the patronage of the heat class in the disheveled kitchen, that a perfectly stocked and correctly opened place of this kind should have. The dish is properly termed "The Cafe Republique." MISS BESSIE HOOD ENTERTAINS GUESTS Popular Southside Girl Shows Friends Chicago Hospitality. Dr. E. P. Jones, of Vicksburg, Miss, and Prof. E. H.

IS SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG with a get permits a handful of shred financiers to regulate the price for one hundred million people. This is practically the price the rural districts come to fall of fruit that it rotting on tables that are rotting in the ground, and yet the deal we use to pay exorbitant prices for these commodities. We is called to the bumper crops which, according to all, should mean lower prices, they have for an alibi that it only permits a certain quantity to be shipped in that normal. The farmers is criminal in view of the fact that then suffering for want of food. Honest men and women provide for their families find it impossible owing to the other circumstances to get employment and the few who up doing old jobs go a very little way in the grocery and Why not give the people the benefit of the big harvest? It is worth enough to sell for twenty-five cents a sack why and dispose of them. Everyone benefited—consumer. Few people would be seeking a jobs, a wage would pervade all. It is time enough when crops are the price. There was a time when the supply regulated was prior to this system of high finance that is now in a parcel post offers a slight remedy for this evil but few are take advantage of it. Direct from producer to consumer is a touch with each other is the difficulty, however. The firm who earns in regulating the price of fugs the man who earns a small wage may be able to live new pennies for a rainy day. WHO RAYS THERE IS SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG with a government which permits a handful of shrewd financiers to regulate the price of necessities for one hundred million people. This is practically the situation we are compelled to face today. From the rural districts comes tales of fruit that it rotting on the trees and vegetables that are rotting in the ground, and yet the dealers in the cities force us to pay exorbitant prices for these commodities. When their attention is called to the bumper crops which, according to all laws of the country, are tough for delivery, they can not deal this or that trust only permits a certain quantity to be shipped in that the price may remain normal. This state of affairs is criminal in view of the fact that thousands are actually suffering for want of food. Honest men and women willing to work and provide for their families find it impossible owing to the war and a chain of other circumstances to get employment and the few cents they may pick up doing old jobs go a very little way in the grocery and market of today. Why not give the people the benefit of the big harvest? If potatoes are grown in a field where they can be cooked them in and dispose of them? Everyone would be benefited—producer, dealer and consumer. Fewer people would be seeking alms, a general air of prosperity would pervade all. It is time enough when crops are a failure to raise the price. There was a time when the supply regulated the price, but that was prior to this system of high finance that is now in vogue. The parcel post offers a slight remedy for this evil but few are in position to take advantage of it. Direct from producer to consumer is ideal; the getting in touch with each other is the difficulty, however. The government is not willing to invest in the building of a state and perhaps the man who earns a small wage may be able to live and put aside a few pennies for a rainy day. COMMUNICABLE DISEASES MANY WHO EAT away from their home ever stop to food set before them was prepared, whether under snail not? The dining room might be a veritable palace, the one of the costliest, and the service excellent, but what of the men and women who prepare these dainty and tempestuous, are they diseased? Do they come from homes or runs? How are you to know, and again how often do you your attention as vital as it is? The quarter report of the Emporia shows not a single one was found to a communicable disease. A previous rule was to have a condition made of all dining car and restaurant employees now. The rule is to examine everyone at least every three, kitchen helpers, cooks and waiters, both white and dark a rigid examination and only a 100 per cent report condition will permit their remaining in the service. health department would find a very profitable field if the aim for the prevention of the spread of disease and sends to every restaurant, boarding house and lunch room to examine all who are closely associated with the preparation of food stuffs. Kitchen should be open for inspection; there should be no secret about what enters our store true that we must eat a pound of dirt—as the old saying be. That as it may, we prefer the that our diet be not full. HOW MANY WHO EAT away from their home ever stop to think of how the food set before them was prepared, whether under sanitary conditions or not? The dining room might be a veritable palace, the china and glassware of the costliest, and the service excellent, but what of the kitchen, what of the men and women who prepare these dainty and tempting dishes? Are they clean, are they diseased? Do they come from homes where disease is common, or do they again how often do you give this matter your attention as vital as it is? A quarterly report of all the Pullman employees on the Pennsylvania railroad who serve food shows that not a single one was found to have any trace of a communicable disease. A previous rule was to have a physical examination made of all dining car and restaurant employees every three months. Now the rule is to examine everyone at least every thirty days. Dishwashers, kitchen helpers, cooks and waiters, both white and colored, are required to report on their physical condition will permit their remaining in the service. Our health department would find a very profitable field if they adopted this system for the prevention of the spread of disease and send competent inspectors to every restaurant, boarding house and lunch car and thoroughly examine all who are closely associated with the preparation or serving of food stuffs. Kitchens should be open for inspection to the general public; there should be no secret about what enters our stomach. It may be true that we must eat a pound of dirt—as the old saying goes—be dead. Be that as it may, we prefer that the dirt be not fall of deadly germs.

How much longer are No longer is there a market value on a man as a chattel slave. But how many men's lifetime labor has gone to make the value of that lot in the market today? Men, white and black, are laboring under the delusion that they are free, that they are the earthly makers of their own destiny. Only in a measure are they right. Since time immemorial the select few have ruled the many—dictated how, when and where they should work and at what wage; fashioned their clothes, regulated the price of every commodity, and set the standards general for the way of the world, it is the bed that we ourselves made to lie on; we have no one to blame but ourselves. It was thought organization would lessen the evil, so our unions on top of unions all bent on wrestling from the rich their rightful share of this world's goods came into existence.

If a happy medium could be struck and the world adopted their views this old earth would indeed be a ventable paradise. days gone by there was not that insane greed for gold and tinsel that there is today, and the world moved on sanely and serenely, too.

President Wilson is between the devil and the deep sea, regarding the expenditure of the vast sums of public money for various reasons, none of which are logical. Perhaps the real reason is because the North approves of it, and anything the North approves the South disapproves. There is just as much factional feeling between the two sections of this country now as there was during reconstruction days. It would seem in a matter so vital as the present one there would be a burying the hatchet and a united effort put forth to protect the interests of all. The calamity howlers have plenty of material to build up their argument that we are unprepared to meet any foe for the simple reason that the enemy is right here in our midst in the form of hyphenated Americans. People who have sworn allegiance as a matter of form and who would on the slightest provocation aid their fatherland against their adopted home. We are a rich nation and can well afford to throw up a formidable barrier to protect our life and property. The money will still remain in this country and go a long way toward relieving the financial depression that has come upon us during the present administration. President Wilson will be able to take all of his spare moments from now to the close of his term to set himself right with the people in this country who claim true citizenship. Why call in experts if their advice is not to be carried into effect? Let us be prepared at any cost.

FROM LOS ANGELES comes the news that the authorities there are considering what to do in relation to three children, claimed to be of colored parentage on both sides, and yet showing neither in complexion nor hair, a trace of the Ethiopian. There seems to be a suspicion that the little ones are of other origin and really are not colored even by a trace. The physiological aspects of the matter are too much for the scientific. GELES comes the news that they do in relation to three children, both sides, and yet showing neither Ethiopian. There seems to be both origin and really are not color aspects of the matter are too much in the other side but how many in our eyes they would drop to age of inferiority, for did they but who term themselves American block courses through their veins, the inside know of thousands who are "passing." The reason for these one thing is not a crave, and the other is that they are especially the United States, is fact that they are not simon-pup upon thousands who are so light difficulty in going their way unimpeded and they drop immediately in far below their associates' star bequrre prejudice isn't a matter many that they are not compeller than their father and mother, censuses would show an alarming in If our friends on the other side but knew what a laughing stock they made of themselves in our eyes they would drop forever this question of color being a badge of inferiority, for did they but know it not a great percentage of those who term themselves Americans can truthfully say not a trace of dark blood courses through their veins. If we who are on the inside know of thousands who have gone over on the other side and have reason for their leaving is obvious, "Opportunities," the one thing we need is the one thing that is the most difficult for the man of dark skin to find. The world, but especially the United States, is full of people who are unconscious of the fact that they are not simon-pure white, and again there are thousands upon thousands who are so lightly tinged—but know it—they find little difficulty in going their way unmolested. But let their identity be discovered and they drop immediately in the eyes of the narrow and prejudiced far below their associates' standard. Which only goes to prove this buglehead prejudice isn't a matter of color after all. It is a great many that they are not compelled to trace their ancestors back farther than their father and mother, for if they did undoubtedly the next census would show an alarming increase in the colored population.

In other words "Shall Chicago be dry?" Perhaps nothing is more important to the members of the race in this city than the record which they will make upon this question. Our friends and our enemies alike will watch our attitude on this proposition more closely than on any other. If we be on the right side of the liquor question at this time it will do more to make friends for us than any other one thing that we can do. If we be on the wrong side it will perhaps do us more harm than anything we can do, for in that event our enemies will point to this fact as confirmation of all the invidious comparisons they have made in the matter of crime, lawlessness, jail, prisoners, etc. It would seem to be clear that every race man and woman should vote upon the question and bestir himself to help not only at the polls but in the matter of getting the petition signed between now and then. It remains that the names of 175,000 voters and on the petition should be found at the names of enough race voters to show that we are in tune with the times, least the names of enough race voters to show that we are in tune with the times.

A BEAT LAST WAKING UP @ WHEN THE STORY of the white man at the Fisk dance appeared in The Defender last issue, it was not with ill feeling to that school, but to the supposed "SOUTHERN WHITE MAN" who has only used the women of the race for immoral purposes and the younger men of the race do not propose to sit in company with Southern lynchers and cut threats. Since this gentleman is a British subject or a Northerner who totes clean with us we drop the incident. THE CHINESE ARE at LAST WAKING UP and it took the Japs to wake them. They have declared a boycott on all Japanese goods all over the world and furthermore they refuse to have in their employ any of their yellow neighbors. The cause of, all this ill feeling is attributed to the buildingoz attitude the Japs have taken toward the Chinese. We are glad to know that something will stir these Mongolians to a sense of feeling that they should bestir themselves and take a more active part in the vital things all about them. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON has a happy faculty of not meddling with other people's business. When he spoke at the recent Baptist convention many expected him to pour oil on the troubled waters and bring harmony where discord reigned. Had he attempted the task he might have succeeded in making enemies of one side or the other, possibly both sides. So he did not step in where angels feared to tread.

A BOSTON WOMAN is in favor of passing a law to compel employers to furnish wire cages that the pretty stenographers may be kept in while at work.

COLE BLEASE, as might be expected, defended lynching in a speech to the conference of governors which met in Boston. It was the only way he could attract attention. THAT $1,500 REWARD for the lynchers of Frank hasn't stirred up any interest even among graduates of the mail order detective colleges. STRANGE of all the organizations that convened in Chicago this summer it was left for the Baptist ministers to disgrace themselves and the race by having a free-for-all fight that was only quelled by a squad of policemen.

Many Attend Services—The Floral Tributes Bespoke the High Esteem Held for the Deceased. DEFENDER'S LEGAL HELPS Defender's Legal Helps—I understand that there is a new law concerning the support and maintenance of a wife and children; I would appreciate being informed as to the contents of the same. ANSWER—Under the old law of wife and child abandonment the husband could not be prosecuted unless he deserted them and failed to provide; while under the new law he may be prosecuted although he lives with them if he, without lawful excuse, desert or neglect or refuse to provide for the support or maintenance of his child or children under the age of eighteen years, in destitute or necessitous circumstances. Also the wife may be prosecuted as well as the husband. A man may leave his wife and refuse to live with her, but as long as he provides and supports her according to his financial ability he is guilty of no offense. And as long as the wife and children are not left in destitute and necessitous circumstances he is not guilty of any crime. Defender's Legal Helps—My wife has two years ago I have provided for her; now I desire to get a divorce. In that case I have provided for her. ANSWER—There is no law complying a husband and wife to sleep, together in a room, and there is no ground for divorce under the law of Illinois.

Heart Disease; Prevention. Dropsy. This is an age of increasing heart disease—a nervous, reckless age. We hear daily of heart tire, tightness in the chest, leg tire, headache, dizziness and shortness of breath. We are also troubled with the common complaint, inability to sleep at night. Is it to be wondered at, when you consider our nervous recklessness, our great speed intensity, our hurried eating in this strenuous life that we are leading? There must come a halt, or else something is going to break. The heart is a ceaseless working organ; from the time we are born until we cross the divide it is on duty. The heart is often troubled with heart tire and with cardiac or heart muscular weakness, and should be given a rest. We overwork our heart and try to make up for the fault by the use of heart stimulants, and try to overcome the heart tire—that worn out feeling—by the drinking of coffee, tea or beer, gin, whisky and other alcohols. You are only adding fuel to a dangerous consuming fire. Rest in bed a few hours each day for a few days would do you more good than all the tea and coffee in Japan, or all the whisky in Kentucky, or all the beer in Milwaukee and St. Louis. Symptoms and Warnings of Heart Disease At first the symptoms may be slight, almost unnoticeable and imperceptible. They come on gradually. You may regard them as of little significance, but it is important to notice and give attention to the following symptoms and warnings, and if these conditions continue over a certain period of time without any signs of improvement you should consult your family physician for this interpretation and significance: Aches in the chest referred to the left and right side; pains in chest referred to left shoulder and around the right side of the liver; pains down over abdomen or up into throat; pains in chest or upper abdomen with leg aches or weariness, feeling of exhaustion or sleeplessness at night. These symptoms can be a careful examination by a first-class physician. If you have pains in back, head, shortness of breath, dyspnea, after walking, or climbing a hill or going upstairs, or after running for a car, or after dancing, after a little excitement, as when your automobile comes near colliding with another of your friends, you cannot breathe quite so deeply, or if you feel a tightness in your chest—these are signals for heart examination and heart rest. Again, if slight exertion, as dancing, or singing, vigorous exercise, increases your heart speed, this, too, calls for a rest, for the reason that the heart and muscles have been contracting too rapidly, causing heart tire, weakness, cough, etc. We can do much toward warding off heart disease by not overeating, by eschewing all alcohols, stimulants, such as caffeine, and by avoiding foods we have ever been so unfortunate to be at af EDITOR.S MAIL Holland, Mich., Sept. 8.—Please withdraw ad. for housekeeper as I have secured same, and oblige. N. E. Whaling, Matron S. S. Purth. Editor Chicago Defender—Dear Sir: I am a subscriber to your great newspaper and would like to ask you to do me a great favor. There is a young man here by the name of Nathan Wallace. He is in ill health and he don't know where any of his relatives are, and the state board of pardon and officials of this institute will release him if he can locate some of his people that will take care of him. Here are the names of some of them: Mack McCarver, last heard of in 1905 in Guthrie, Okla., was once a lawyer in Guthrie; Mrs. Mandy Wallace, five miles east of Cleveland, Okla., last heard of in 1903, and Mr. Simp Wallace, same address—mother and brother. Now, sir, the deputy warden, Mr. W. H. Brine, requested me to say that if there is any charges whatever, just notify him and I am sure that if these people can be found that you will find them through your valuable paper.
