The Defender's Managing Editor, Who Died Sunday, October 10, at 10 o'clock
He took care in a new position. So loyal he had leased a carousel in his efforts to build up the paper, that the editor as a reward kept him dolling during his entire illness, because, when he was at his desk, he did not measure his dollars and cents, but worked untimely to the end. He was the greatest news reporter and day and there were none, judging from our exchanges, that could compete with him in make-up, beautifying, layout, and matter of headlines. R. S. Abbot, Editor.

MT. GLENWOOD CEMETERY OFFICE BROKEN INTO.
Thieves Break Dial on Safe But Fall to Open It - Steal Small Articles When Frightened Away.
The Mount Glenwood Cemetery office, 3125 South State street, was broken into Saturday night by thieves. They man and by cutting a hole in the screen door open and by cutting a hole in the screen door open to release the bolts and open it.
Then they turned their efforts to the petty things. The management told The Defender reporter that the thieves stole towels, towels, soap, brushes and combs, the chewing gum that the typhus had left on her desk. The damage to the safe amounted to thirty-five dollars besides the trouble it put the office to. The things looked it appeared as though the thieves had made a hurried exit. The police have no clew as to who the guilty parties were.
It costs some people more to keep up appearance than it does to live.
Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY
CRIME COURT
TO BE INAUGURATED
Court to Punish Offenses Against Children is Urged—Inability to Handle Causes Cases Much Delay in Justice.
From the superintendent of compulsory education, Mr. W. F. Bodine, comes a call for the police to show its awful delay in the prosecution of crimes in the drenn. Says he: "There are 127 sex cases pending in the criminal courts of Chicago, some of them have been pending since 1995. The police are compelled against children under 12 and 18." He suggests that a new court be created to try such offenses, and we heartily agree with his suggestion. Crimes against children are in an angle where words are inadequate to express their terrible nature, and the fact of such a condition existing in Chicago is enough to arouse the righteous indignation of her peace and law-abiding citizens to the absolute necessity of the child as a moral and Christian duty, an obligation never to be ignored.

Only a few of the best prepared can go as missionaries; a much larger crowd of believers can give support to those who go, but all can pay for those who go. They can also help to reply to a letter. Then thousands of pastors and members owe Brother Jordan an apology. Why not answer letters and be more respectful?

$500 FUND ASKED TO PROSECUTE CAMPBELL
Special Fund Voted By County to Prosecute Supposed Slayer of Wife of Former Penitentiary Warden.
CAMPBELL WITHOUT FRIENDS
Fair-Minded Citizens Say That the Indicted Prisoner Should Have a Fair and Impartial Trial and Steps to That End Should Be Taken.
Jollet, Oct. 15—The grand jury of Will county met last week and during the early part of this week returned an indictment charging Joseph Campbell with the murder of Mrs. Allen, wife of the former Warden of Jollet penitentiary.
The prosecuting authorities of Jollet are active in their preparations to try the defendant. State's Attorney Martin will be boarded and asked for a special fund of the hundred dollars to help him in the prosecution.
On the other hand Campbell has no relatives, no friends and is absolutely permissible to make his fight against this combination of prosecutors and this extra fund of public money supplied to the state's attorney. He is cheerful, however, under it all because he says he is not guilty and all he asks is a fair and impartial trial. Notwithstanding the awful circumstances which surround him, people are numerous who say that he ought to have equal and exact justice.
For the purpose of giving Campbell a fair trial an effort is being made in the interest of justice to furnish him competent counsel to try his case. A defense fund is being raised in Chicago, the Negro Followship Chicago head office, and the committee of prominent men will also take active part in raising necessary funds for the trial. The defense is in the hands of F. L. Barnett, formerly assistant state's attorney of this city, and during the past month he has made complete preparation for the trial and will not ask any delay. He expresses his belief that Campbell did not kill Mrs. Allen and says that while the circumstances surrounding the tragedy are very mysterious and many facts seem to involve Campbell, still they will all be explained when Campbell takes the witness stand. Chicago citizens are interested in the case of Campbell. They do not want to shield a guilty man, they do not want a murder to go unavenged but they do want the man accused of the crime to have the benefit of a fair trial.

A SUBTLE EFFORT TO SOUTHERNIZE THE NORTH
The Spirit of Blease, Vardaman and Tillman Cannot Be Permitted to Exist in the North if They Expect to Hold Their Idealism.
The "Birth of Nations" is a lie! Its brutal attack against the order, dignity and power of the communities is everywhere endangered.
Mr. William H. G. Gaston of St. Paul, Minn., makes this point clear in his letter to the St. Paul Dispatch, which reads To the Editor of the Dispatch: The "Birth of a Nation" in the near future is to appear at the Auditorium in purpose of this play is to Southernize the city. The dispatched subtitle effort to imbue the spirit of Ku Klux Klan, Night Riding, and all the abominate lawlessness of the Southland. The type has succeeded in poisoning the city and mob violence against an already despised and oppressed people? Why should the people of the North point the minds, their young to be poisoned with the blood of the Southland and mob violence against an already despised and oppressed people? This play is a product of the brain of the author in imbued with that same spirit from 1861 to 1865, torn our flag out of the blue heavens and dashed our nation asunder. The brain that produced this play was permitted to be heaped upon the unprotected negro girl, and would sanction the execution of the male members of the negro race without jury, judge or law. The brain that produced this play was permitted to spread their infectious disease of lawlessness and crime among the people of the North? Do we wish our people of the North to be Southernized? Southern men as Bless, Vardaman, Tillman and Watson? Remember, the negro even in our own good state is to the disadvantage of being voiceless in an enemy. Will the good people see him maligned?

factory.
The officer states that the victim of this wanton shooting was in the company of another boy, and when he called the police, he said, "Why the truth?" The law of cowardice lies in the written law of the South. The coward is not the man who flees for his life—not all; but such inhuman creatures as the police have murdered this poor child whom he wields in the act. Who would not run from a coward armed with a murderous weapon? The attempt to save one's life is a natural instinct, but the solution free before the wrath of irresponsible white murderers of the South. You would, and so would I. I would have a solution of this problem: Give once men just representation in the police department, the law department and legislative halls. Then, and not before then, will you and I see objection of these crimes of infamy to the police department, the liberty and law, equality of manhood, protection of wives, mothers and babies from the fury of bell's raging molus is community and God.

BIRTH OF NATION FLAYED
In your May 1997 letter, "The Defender of Oct. 2 you printed an article on "The Birth of a Nation," written by Evans Ford, in which he endeavors to put down the impressions and emotions received while witnessing the play and to show from his point of view why the play should be suppressed, and a lover of the colored race, went to see the play in order to judge for myself of the worthiness or unworthiness of all the agitation going on at the present time concerning the merits of this play. I went there with a man who was a man of high rank, and ready to be convicted of possible omission on my part. I am convinced that, from the standpoint and point of view of the colored race, the play should never have been permitted and that the Negro should not leave a single stone unturned in or without the help of the black people. I have been the whole thing is exceedingly unfair and damaging to the colored race. From my point of view, "The Birth of a Nation" should be wiped out because of its unfairness to the Negro in bringing out things of fifty years ago, that man, who was a black man, was a monstrous task to ask of the whites.
Because: It is an insult and stumbling block to the inner senses and feelings of ten millions of American citizens.
Because: It has not one elevating and ennobling feature in it.
Because: It does not instill in those who see it a single desire to live better lives.
Because: It has no aim towards the future and does not show how the Negro could overcome all the handicaps he would encounter in the future. In one word, it is not helpful, but rather the re
Because: It only shows the errors of man and does not suggest an honorable way out. It has no feature in it that one would want to emulate, with the exception of two faithful slaves, and that no white person would be capable of doing so.
And lastly, because no human agency has a right to plist out the unfortunate element of a people or race and flaunt it. Into the face of the world, that the whole race may be judged by the net of those unfortunate, uneducated and misguided few. All races and nations are not the same as the people who by the noblest and beat that is in them.
The German, the French, the Italian, in fact, no other race would stand for a play like "The Birth of a Nation" if they were substituted for the Negro. They could not afford to be judged by the lower element portraying their life and traits, neither can the colored race nor the white people ever be compared to this country, for it shows him off to his greatest disadvantage.
Three cheers for Ohio!
Having enumerated the various reasons for banishing "The Birth of a Nation," may I be permitted to put down some of the impressions I received while witnessing the play? I want to make it clear to the people of the United States that the gender that we white people as a whole do not view this play with the same feeling as you do. We do not go there with the fixed purpose of finding faults, laws and imperfections in a race of today by viewing anything of fifty years ago. We feel that that would be meant and unmorable, and you must be sure we credit for at least that much fulfilment of our duty.
I went to see the play as I would go to a different one (going to a different one) I ever had after seeing a show. I came away with a great sense of shame at the vitriol in the play. That so-called educated, cultured man could stoop to put the start of an important invasions on the Negro race, was disgusting to me. Every white man that he did because he was made to be the leader of the house he also knows that any white crowd or would have done the same things when they were led by the highest man when they were led by the highest leader of the house, led them on to the pitch where a break had to come. In the picture a single act elevating the Negro, that every action was one of degratification, I could see an example of the highest fidelity in the self-narrative of their lives and the man they were facing in the master man. I doubt if any white man or woman would do for their former task. And we know that there were thousands of Negroes who were doing the same thing as the last lasting monument should be erected by the Negroes to the failfulness of the Negroes.
Mr. Ford says the scenes of bringing the first slaves to this country create prejudice, for it refreshes the memory of the man of the black man's recent sentiment.

American citizen. Congressman Cruz Brasker of Ohio appointed a race youth to the economy. The law would not be to heaven that could be hear of the government. It was said that the appointment would be the school of the nation would break up the schools and be interested in the teachers and others of breaking up every rat nest of the character in America. The soon-to-be will be higher Old Glory shall wave.
The new law, for now such as Bunker Hill, Lexington, New Orden, Petersburg, El Caney and in many other cities, would be the same as the law of the nation of infamy. It is the practice of proved God's wisdom and American elation.
"Liberty or death," these are not lid words in the form of sharp rhetoric, but and source of inspiration away back to the soul of the race.
We fire of humiliation and disgrace through the life of the country. We have been tireless workers for the nation's advancement.
Annapolis and West Point are a sealed book to us, while at the same time 10,000,000 and more of us are paying taxes to maintain them. How long can these conditions endure? Not for long. We are a patient race to suffer and long years of suffering has been our part. Patience ceases to be a virtue when from its cause it brings degradation; and degradation of 10,000,000 of the nation's most praiseworthy citizens means national woe to all. We are not satisfied. No! God forbid such! There is a yearning in the heart of every man for a man's rights in this world. We are pledged to God to build up His kingdom among men. Our inspirations are natural, spontaneous and come from the infinite throne of heaven. Like the race of the sun, the brain energy of the race, mighty and powerful, move us on, and with the rising sun of civilization 10,000,000 race men and women of America demand the open door of opportunity that they may share equally in the world's blessings.
A few years past when a fearless
sense of shame that the white man, civilized as he was, in 1619 could stoop and fall so low as to deprive another human being of his liberty, right of living and right to happiness. Certainly there is not a white man who has seen "The Birth of a Nation" who would wish to have slavery again, no matter how prejudiced he might be against the Negro.
To Mr. Ford's quotation of Brougham, 1880, he says that the white man dislikes the white man, and it is not his dislikes the Negro, reminds the white man constantly of his injustice and unfairness; that he preaches one thing and practices another; that he lives not up to the religion and teaching of Jesus Christ in one thing; that there is one score in the average white man's life which he cannot justify before his Lord and Master. It simply cannot be done. This rancor causes the white man to be harsher and more unjust towards the Negro than he is already. This constant really under to be, for the white man of his injustice toward the Negro acts upon him, somewhat like the many does who wants to hide before his fellow men his soft heart by being gruff and harsh towards those in need of help.
Mr. Ford says the picture shows that the Negro will display his depravity, no matter how high you try to elevate him. To me it only shows that people of any nation will under the same circumstances and provocations act just the same way, I have said. I felt in Europe which far would anything that the Negro was doing in the future.
When the Negro lieutenant governor asked to marry the white daughter of his white friend and benefactor he only did what thousands of white incen would have done, if they had been colored, under the circumstances. I cannot blame him for having aspired to have the highest and best of his might, and to have a white wife. It was his highest ambition, and is a white man or woman in a thousand who would blame a colored man for wanting to marry a white woman, if that was the height of his happiness. What about the large number of white men who support colored girls and have been doing so for years and years, judging from the various shades of colored people we have in this land? The lieutenant governor was a thousand times more honorable than the above mentioned white men, for his own reason to be so. The white girl is equal wife, whereas the white men think themselves too far above the colored girls to legalize their actions.
Mr. Ford says the pleure shows the Negro's lust for the white woman. If he did, he only did that to which he was put up to by white men, by making him believe that he was in the right and perfectly within the law. The acts of the Russians in East Prussia last fall are too horrible and too frenzish to ever compare with anything frenzish a Negro ever did to a white woman. I have it from eyewitnesses that these white Russians outlawed the black men, and had no right to their bestal conduct and atrocities. So why blame the poor, ignorant Negro of fifty years ago?
When Mr. Ford says that there was no actual domination of the blacks over the whites in the South he is mistaken, as the history of Georgia will show him that the lawmaking body of that state was actually in the hands of the Negro for a brief time. This it was that started the Ku Klux Klan. But that the Negro representatives came to the sessions of the house in the way the picture showed them to have done I do not believe. During the whole time the picture was shown I could only see the shortcomings of the white race in their dealings with the colored race, and I know that many others were affected the same way.
I do not attempt to belittle the great injustice that "The Birth of a Nation" does to the Negro; I only put down my individual impressions I received while looking at the picture. I must confess that I might not be a competent judge, for I was born and brought up without any prejudice and dislike whatsoever. To dislike a person on account of their color is absolutely foreign to me. I would consider myself a fake and a counterfeit in the eyes of God, who saw fit to give His Son for the black as well as for the white, if I would ever think myself above anyone not my color but equal in character and spirituality.
To me this picture is an unfinished affair. In order to be just to the Negro is the wonderful and tremendous advance the colored race has made along education, industrial, spiritual, economic, human resources, and so on, shown during the Fifthth Jubilee Exposition at the Coliseum. I visited it five times, and I am still impressed as I contribute on and off articles to Europe. My kindly upon the life character of the Negro is the subject of my about prejudice I feel like Lincoln did about slavery when he said: "If I were to have a chance, I never gave the Negro a chance." And I have boots, for they deserve it, judging by what they have accomplished in the short time I spent there.

American citizen, Congressman Crumpacker of Ohio, appointed a race youth to the academy of Annapolis, a wall went up to heaven that could be heard in all parts of the world. It was said that the appointment of that boy to Annapolis would break up the school. We are interested as taxpayers and citizens of breaking up every rat nest of that character in America. The sooner we break it up the higher Old Glory shall wave.
We are not cowards; far from such. At Bunker Hill, Lexington, New Orleans, Petersburg, El Caney and in many other sanguinary conflicts the blood of the race proved God's wisdom and American salvation.
"Liberty or death," these are not idle words in the form of sharp rhetoric, but find a source and inspiration away back in the soul of the race.
We tire of humiliation and disgrace of our fellow men. We have been tireless workers in the nation's advancement. We have been tireless workers with Jim Crowism and with us today, and the popular clamor for a larger army of that type that the metaphor is to ridiculous for serious things.
Open your schools of military training to all men on equal terms.
We don't want any side issue or speeches. We don't want all the American citizenship entities us with. We want some of the nice things that we have all the opportunities of scholarship in military training and higher advancement and honest appreciation. When we have a commendable young men in the most a race man and a credit to the Young is an army. We want men of the Major Young chapter and in which we marshal and we pay the bills. Give some good reason for taking our money for our education in which we accept the Filipinos and in which we pray tell us what either race men should has done for the life. Nothing is the answer. Against a glorious record of a fearless peace love racing.

LINCOLN JUBILEE
COMMISSION SUED
September 20, 1915—Attorney J. Gray Lucas, chairman of department of music, has used and attached the property of the commission.
Mike R. Lucas
25 N. Dearborn Street,
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
I am directed to say that it will be
adjusted for the Commission to
adjust any accounting accounts
for at least 15 days.
As "Chairman and Manager of the Department of Music" of the Illinois Commission Half-Century Exposition, half-century-old bible, the well-known Attorney J. Gray Lucas has not been paid the remainder of the money due on his contract, constructive damages at the Commission at the end of each week of the Exposition, twenty-five per week. The additional debt implied by the letter to him, apparently has brought this money no nearer his possession. Mr. Lucas expected to pay off the remainder of the debt, and paid are the choirs of the various churches, who as the "Grand Jubilee chorus, together with wonderful choruses, together with musical organizations of the city of Chicago, who were paid up to the end and performers, as well as all solos and performers. Nothing seems left to do but bring suit and to use the very strong arm of law and the Commission of the city court. Mr. Lucas says that he proposes to attack by "hand and sea," whatever he was legally construed, forthwith.
He desires the above letter and statement to serve to notify all interested in any way, who may not otherwise be involved in the fight against the Commission by him.

BREEDING. FIURES ARE PERMITTED TO PLAY IN OGDEN But the People Will Have a Say on November 2, When the Bailot Is Put in Their Hands, and the Spineless Official Must Go—That They Promise.
By A. B. Douolas.
Ogden, Utah, Oct. 15.—An error was made in the last issue in giving the name of the new pastor of the A. M. E. Church. Instead of Williams, as given before, the name should be Moore. Iev. Moore has succeeded in a very short time in creating a new church, and the new church, in which the Marque, his predecessor in the charge, will remain in Ogden, where he has secured a good position. ∗ ∗ ∗ As a pleasant echo of fashion show week Mr. Albert Sowcroft of the Sowcroft Manufruction Company, and the honorary contribution of a check for $25 to the literary society as a mark of appreciation of the float. A letter of thanks has been drafted, expressing the gratitude of our people for his generosity. ∗ ∗ ∗ Joe Gordon, an old-time Salt Laker and the man who was the author of the letter, has running from Oakland, Cal., to Ogden. ∗ ∗ ∗ The people are taking an active interest in the present municipal campaign, and their votes will no doubt prove an important factor in deciding the number of the new church. The only way to carry Society has grown to such an extent that it has been divided into three sections—literary, musical and junior.
∗ ∗ ∗ Mr. McGruder of Twenty-sixth street left for Omanlu last week. Mrs. McGruder and Mr. McGruder will follow shortly. ∗ ∗ ∗ The committee in chair of the fashion show float has had photographs taken of the float as it appeared in the parade and has placed them on sale at 75 cents each. ∗ ∗ Notwithstanding the promise of Commissioners Fell, the present church, the present building, the introduction prohibiting the production of prejudice-breeding pictures, "The Niger" was produced here last week, and it is reported that "The Birth of a Nation" is to appear here in the near future.
∗ ∗ ∗ The people won't forget on November 2, 1948, to the public, and to the people gone to Omanlu to join her husband. ∗ ∗ ∗ The Defender can be found at 159 Twenty-fifth street, Ogden.

THE REVERY OF A PESSIMIST.
I'm dreaming tonight of the good time
Where the fiddle and the harp rang.
When Barbary Coast had a radiant glow.
In the region of the Lee Hung Chang.
There was old Foek Loy, with his gobbs.
There was oodles of money to blow.
In fact, nobody worked and nobody
lifted.
When Unoel Hiram came, he went to bat. But when Unoel Hiram came, he went to bat. But boys, when she flew, nothing stayed.

MRS. MARIE CLAY
HUDLIN AND DAUGH-
TER BOTH ATTEND
HIGH SCHOOL
One of Chicago's Charming and Brilliant Society Matrons a Pupil at the Lucy Flower Technical High School for Girls.
Not the least of the many problems that heads of households and society matrons are called upon to wrestle with, even in big Chicago, is how best to employ the spare hours with which they are each day confronted. The daily household duties met and disposed of, the "head of the family" fed and off to his business occupation, the "kiddies" away to school, more frequently than otherwise time drugs heavily with the "little mother of the household," and unless she finds relief snugged up in an easy chair in the latest "best seller," or in wasting the golden hours dancing attendance upon the demands of society, she, if of a thoughtful, reflective turn, is often put to it to determine how best and wisest to occupy the spare hours at her disposal. But—and the Defender records it with pride—Mrs. Marie Clay Hudlin being so confronted, regardless of her fine attainments—known as one of Chicago's wide readers and brilliant thinkers—made short shrift of the vexatious problem by obtaining a "permit" from Mrs. Ella Flugg Young, Chicago's superintendent of schools, and without waste of time enrolled herself as a pupil for the full course of four years at the Lucy Flower technical high school for girls at Twenty-sixth street and Wabash Avenue.
Morning after morning, *n* most inspiring sight, she may be seen in company of her friends, her teacher, Irene Kernice, who graduates in June, her way to school, her arms full of love for her heels, her in-motion in film with a new open book of her resolution. She may not back the two years in those times she met her husband. When she went — long time ago, but she can—and is proving it — it set a most wholehearted Defender is glad to praise and point to.

John B. Chung the managing editor of this Chicago Defender, departed from this earth Sunday morning at ten o'clock, after a fight for over three months. Not only does this paper and its force of employees miss Mr. Smiley, but all who came in contact with the great hero as a father. No one in recent years has known the great beyond has caused the concern, the regret, the sorrow that he did. He was near to the pinnacle of his career. He was about to realize the ambition of his life. He had grown to be a newspaper man in the country. He is dead, but his name will live forever.
Mr. Smiley was born in Philadelphia, Pa., on June 30, 1874. He died Oct. 10, 1915. He has made his home with Mr. Martin, Mr. Anderson, 642 Deerborn Road, Chicago, Illinois. He came to Chicago twenty-five years ago. He associated himself with his father, the late Chas. Smiley, in the catering business. At that time his father was the biggest and all the big functions that were given were not given the stamp of approval by society unless "Smiley will serve" we at the bottom of the involvment of the biggest candy makers in this city to collect and learned all he knew through J. Hockley and his father. Six years ago John Hockley Smiley started with the Defender. He made good at the start and managed editor of the greatest newspaper.

He was down to his bed and he could not attend. Those who knew him, knew him as a man, every inch. Though he had never met him, he had never spoke of any, except now and then he would speak to those who had grown close to him, of Hockleyke, his sister, and of the man. That was all, his voice would tremble in and he would say no more. He spoke to clubs and the like when they inched in and was a man for his race, every inch.

Although some of his best friends were ministers about the city, in the recent years he attended Bethel. He died a Christian. He was ready and willing to serve.

WHY WARN ON TURKEY'S ARMENIAN MASSACRES
United States Should Warn the South on Murdering 150,000 Negroes in the Past Twenty-five Years.
The man who tells others what to do surely must have some responsibility for Turkey's attention to alleged anatracies for a number of years. And even though Turkey is fighting in the most significant battles, on the world stage Turkey must stop the practice of Armenian kills. Again, we sound a warning Germany. We should not citizenize upon the high seas nearly 3,000 miles from our jurisdiction or border areas. The goal of diplomacy which insists upon other nations respecting the rights of citizens upon our shoulders? How dare we stand with a thoul of innocent people when many of our brutality against mankind when we are so offeilitate and weak that we our citizens? Junior, we must rule of our own citizens? Junior, we must nevertheless not upon that which we deceive upon the action depends the stability of our free institutions. We are inseparably bound by the ties which we create governmental policy of law administration.
In twenty-five years 150,000 race men have been murdered upon their own soil, and 100,000 have been sent it. Turkey's Armenian atrocities, Russia's brutality against the Jews, Germany's war against the commerce of the Orient, and the cruel attitude of the South in its policy of murder and intimidation against them. The president of the United States has a moral and legal right to protect life and property under the American flag. The president of the United States has bound by the laws of the United States to do his duty in the effort to protect life and property. Let him use his executive power in the United States and let Europe alone.

Amazing.
Madame McFarland, 4746 South State
street, Chicago's popular young milliner,
had her fall opening last Friday and
was joined by many of her admirers with many admirers of her late father and winter creations. Many of the models were from France. They were sur-
prized by the French. She was well pleased and thanked her many customers and friends. Speaking to the reporter of the Defender she said that she had been a part of the French models on account of the war, but she had succeeded in getting in a new set. The others were from New York and she was the first woman she has studied designing quite extensively.

DRAW COLOR LINE BUT TAKE THE MONEY
Men and Women of the Race Should Spend Money Where Appreciation Will Be Shown.
Race men and women who patronize the saloons and the grocery stores on the south side should open their eyes just a trifle and find out what kind of people they are trading with. Numerous complaints come to us where the dealers smile and pocket the race man's nickels and quarters but have their interests not at heart. They refuse to allow their children to play with ours. Some have gone so far as not to allow them to attend school where there is a teacher who has dark blood in her veins.
We support many of these stores. One case in particular is a fine brick saloon. The owner has built this off the proceeds of the race man's money. We stood on the outside for half an hour. There was a steady stream of workmen going in and out, some with palls of beer. Only three whites passed through the swinging doors. We heard the constant cliché of the register, now and then a race woman would go in the family entrance and come out with a pail. This man has a little girl. She was in the second grade in the Ferren school. She was to be promoted to the third, which is taught by a race woman of the highest type. They refused to let the child go. It is whispered about the neighborhood concerning the act. Yet in and out they go spending their nickels.

ED MORRIS FOR
SCHOOL BOARD
This Alone Will Save the Negro a Great Lot of Inconvenience and Put Him on a 50-50 Basis with the Foreigner.
The time has come for race men and women of Chicago to demand representation "our school board," because we are a part of the people of Chicago and are insist upon it. Every nationality is represented upon that board, and the interests of our citizens are equal in those of other nations. We imply that anyone or question the theory of efficiency. Representation equal with other nations in our government means mutuality and commonness of love in the highest and most efficient management of our schools, and we insist upon our schools, and we insist upon the Defender learns that the name of Mr. Ed H. Morris has been suggested for the president of his influence would be of great value.

SLAVE TRADE ABOLISHED IN WEST AFRICA AND HOW
As Told by a Native of Lages, West Africa, Who Has Acquainted Himself With His Country's History.
Dr. Michael Denyl Williams, although but 22 years of age, has secured his M. D. degree and is a gentleman whom it adds to his charming character.
Michael Denlyl Williams.
In the years 1833 and 1839 there was considerable sliir and feeling excited among those of the Sierra-Leone people in Sierra-Leone, who were known by the name of the Sierra-Leone, a trading vessel, leading from Sierra-Leone to the levee, had called at Lagos and brought back information of the state of the Yoruba Country, which produced this excitement. At that time a large number of slave-enslavers were sent to the Yoruba Country. Sierra-Leone. Some were condemned to be broken up after having been sold for that purpose, which brought much gain to the more enterprising traders of Freetown, many of whom were Akus. Other were also who were also who were to be becomen by which tempted some of the Akus to become traders on a larger scale and to venture on a voyage to the leeward coast to the ports frequented by their own people.
An application was made to the governor of the Yoruba Country, which turned to their own country, but the government thought the attempt would be full of danger and perh'.s lead to their being resold into slavery. Obtaining no aid from the government, the movement of the Yoruba people was not a people not easily diverted from a project which presented the hope of a union with their relatives in their own country. A few went as pioneers to inspect and report the state and prospect of the proposed解决方案. The proposed解决方案 went, until the whole Akus population was moved, with the prospect thus presented to them of returning to their native land. The arrival of these people at Lagos was not long tolerated. The population of the Yoruba country was not changing, the probable results of this movement. Therefore some of the first arrivals were robbed of nearly all they possessed, and these who desired to follow saw the need of seeking another port where they were securely land and proceed to the interior.
The attack of the Jebus on Abekutu, assisted by the Otus, which had been so taken by the Badagry, was followed by the Egbas attacking the various Ota towns which had aided the Jebus. They were nearly all against Oda, and they were against Oda, and by the defense of the Ado made the time of war stayed. The Egbas camp at Oda was about six or eight miles from Badagry, and from Badagry to Abekutu. The Badagry people were in friendly alliance with Abekutu, in some suburbs to the two places under the Badagry Abekutu, and as the army in the Ado camp insured safety to the road between the two places. Badagry presented the
The Negroes were ignorant of the use intended to be made of the vast number of people. The slave market was never so supplied as to check the demand, and the blacks were not to be required to be unable to see that they were selling to the life of their country. To become a black man, they were not required to be successful adventurers. The wrongs and sufferings of this time were not thought of. It was all chance, they said, that they were the captives and we the owners of the blacks. The black lives if they could. Thus they thought. No consideration was paid to the waste of the blacks. The blacks were not many prices were drawn by the successful adventurers. The wrongs and sufferings of this time were not thought of. It was all chance, they said, that they were the captives and we the owners of the blacks. The black lives if they could. Thus they thought. No consideration was paid to the waste of the blacks. The blacks were not many prices were drawn by the successful adventurers.
The blacks were not, however, the very best of every description. Wrongs must be avowed to the poor. They got wrongs and multiplied. The wrongs and suffered on, as far as the Eqia country was concerned, until not one of the hundreds of the blacks was found. The wrongs and suffered. So it was more or less with their neighbors, for from the northern and western regions of the country, the whole of the world, passing through the various tribes to the seaside, without the烟 and the smoke, or the destruction can securely be thought of. The slave markets were filled, the countrys out of ruin and desolation, and the millions of blacks were found, and the seeking fresh combinations to be formed for protection. The lbadan government was not a little more than the scattered Yorubas and Egbas gathered, but the Egba portion, fearing the loss of the blacks, was found in own government at Abekuta, where their own people gathered themselves. The blacks were found in the town of Ghagura. When the state of the country admitted of it many parents wont in such a case. The blacks were found in the town of losi children, and children in the town of the blacks were found in the town of the blacks. They were found among the others among them, where their lost one would be found somewhere among neighboring tribes, where they were found in the town of the blacks, and where they were found to return. It is a duty universally recognized here to use every means to recover from the loss of the blacks.
The blacks were found in the state of the blacks and redeemed. These who are not so so far as to be found in the state of the blacks have the freedom of a captive relative, and then work to pay off the debt. Their great grandson, who is the only relative of the blacks, could be required of the blacks a separation equal to death, for none over re-sation, except from places beyond the great water.
Various thoughts and opinions were entertained of the uses made of so many books of the blood by the white man, who carried them to America, Brazil and Trinidad, and who viewed these views and feelings, the appearances among them then of some of the lost ones taken across the sea produced the greatest increase when it was found that greatly increased when it was found that of their friends to pass a ransom; not empty, but richer than their friends, who not been torn from their country, married and children born in their supposed custody. Beside which most of them knew the knowledge of a new religion, and to this religion this miracle was ascribed, or it was a miracle, and a great miracle in the miracle, a proof of benevolence and disinterestedness entirely beyond their practice.
A deep feeling that the British were their true friends was the result, in which they were not mistaken and feeling the was the most positive and eager to unite on us andugnay now saw us ushing us to sing and our power in turn had turned at saint at them, and each would have destroyed them if they had had the power.

BEWARE_OF CRITICISM,

The Mud That Has Clung so Long to the Eye Has Begun to Off and Off the Mud.
(By Geo. Thomas and R. C. Fisher). Mobile, Ala., Oct. 6. — The thing we love most about teaching low matters, is usually that which we desire most and that which clings closest to the heart. We can an index of one's pressed thought, "For as he thinketh in heart, heart," the thought he confines to my mind of the institution of learning whose convivelling speeches are creating a great deal of interest in the country, he contends he can emphasize the training that some think is important to the country, this parental principle is essential to the selection of teachers for the institution of which he is the executive head, who honors in universities of repute members of the aculty. This principal goes further, and sees that the children are offered the very highest degree, our country and abroad. Does this not tell you that he favors higher education—
Be Honest at Any Cost.
There is something dishonest in any person who talks about his honesty and who is not willing to trust anybody; something impure in any woman who boasts of her purity and something ugly in any beauty that knows itself beautiful.
There is an age when a child becomes very disagreeable; it is when he is aware of the fact that he is cunning.
The healthy people are not those who are constantly thinking of and working for health. Reading physical culture books and studying hygiene perpetually means that something is wrong. It is precisely the same with spirit-health, which is goodness. The more goodness we have the less we are conscious of it. Those who have it do not sweat and fume and talk much about it. When we demonstrate that we cannot deal justly with each other, our conscience makes us restless, and we feel that others are not dealing justly with us.
Upright living is an evidence of upright thinking and upright dying, and upright dying is a guarantee of Heaven and Immortal glory. May our hearts be filled with righteous and not counterfeit intentions. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
The fifteenth chapter of Second Samuel, the first to the twelfth verse, will give a profound lesson regarding the ambition and deceit of Absalom—read it for yourself.

The principal cause that led to the Civil War and freeing of the slaves: In the year 1817, a son was born in Nur (meaning light) near Telheran, Persia. He was of ancient royal lineage, a son of an ex-vzler. From his youth although uneducated, was held in high regard. He spoke as one having authority. In 1862 he declared himself as God. Between the years 1864 and 1868 he sent messages by special courier to all the rulers and crowned heads of the world, saying who and what he was. To Queen Victoria he sent a beautiful message, to which she replied "If he were God nothing could overthrow him or his teachings, but if he were not he would come to naught." In reply he wrote saying she would have a long and glorious reign, and no crowned head of England reigned as long as Queen Victoria.
To the President of the United States (Abraham Lincoln) he sent a most wonderful message, as follows:
A Tablet to America.
O rulers of America and president of the republic theorize: *Harken to the earth, which are the earthly, which are voice with the melody of, "There is no God but me, the everlasting, the forgiver, the generous, the embroidered garment of justice and virtue, and its head with the diadem of the celebration of heaven, the emblem of the earth; the day-ship of the names command you on the part of the all-knowing and wise. "The promised one hath appeared in this world, the earth, the mouths of existence, of both the seen and the unseen. "The promisee of yourselves of the day of God; well, to meet Him is indeed better unto you than that upon which the sun rises, were ye of those wib know, that voice which is rushed from the day-ship of greatness that "there is no God but me, the speaker, the all-knowing, that broken-hearted (opressed) and crush the great oppressors with the scourges of the commands of your Lord, the powerful, the
The war was started, the emancipation proclamation was issued, the war ended with the slaves freed. Then came the beginning of the education of the Negro. In the 50 years since the freedom of the slaves, no race throughout the world has made the progress that has been made by the Negro. As 50 years ago being as a class uneducated today they stand as shining lights as to what education in 50 years will do. The arts, sciences, music, literature and medieine. Look at the difference where their former masters after 3,000 years of education have stood still, if anything, have gone backward. Where the former slave has steadily advanced, and now an uneducated Negro is a rarity. It is through their untiring efforts that we have a new South, through the cultivation of the ground and education. It is their efforts that have made it, not the former slave-holder. During the past 50 years their advancement in education is only to prepare them for what is their just dues, having earned all but unity. Now the time is ripe to lift the color ban, and for all to proclaim unity of the races.
In 1844 there was a son born to this man, and he was called the Dulah Bala (Servant of God), who in 1912 spoke at Hull House as follows regarding the nature of the philosophic subject, to discuss for you, philosophic subject, to discuss for you, philosophic subject, to discuss for you, philosophic subject, which is abutten in its nature, and I want your closest attention to the colored and the white in which both, as regards the material, the color, and the certain points of distinction. These points are numerous, for the colored and white are both human of body, and both have what is called the tangible properties. These are the points of partnership.

Monously together in a given garden
Part of address by Abdul Baha at the fourth annual conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Handle Hall, Chicago, April 30, 1912, God has stated in the Bible, the word "black" is the word of God, and the word "blackness" is the word in our Image and likeness. This statement indicates the fact that man in some particular is of the image and likeness of God; therefore, every man who is imbued with the divine qualities, who reveals the heavenly perfections and heavenly morals, who is an expression of the truest of all the qualities of man. It is verily an image and likeness of God. If a man should possess wealth, can we call him an image and likeness of God? Or is human honor the criterion whereby he can be called the image of God? Or can we apply the color test as a criterion of the trueness of the image? If a man is colored with a certain color and such an one is therefore in the image of God? Can we say, for example, a man who is green in hue is an image of God? Or can we make another distinction, saying that one who is white is any more an image of God? Is simply the white color a criterion of the trueness of the image? Shall we make a sweeping statement like that? Or is it reasonable for us to choose the dark color; supposing we say a colored man is, after all, the image and likeness, just because of his color, or the red-skinned man, shall he be the image of God? Or is it possible, or is it true, that he is deplored the yellowing to be so; shall he be therefore an image and likeness of God? Hence we come to the conclusion that

colours are of no importance in the development accidental in nature. That which is essential is the humanitarian aspect. And what is essential is the knowledge and tastes and that is the 'merriful bestowals' That is the eternal life. That is the image and likeness of God, who in the manifestation accepts at the threshold of God, whiteness or not. Or let him be blue in color, or white. Or let him be prominent in matters not. Man is not to promote the bodily attributes. Man is to be judged according to his intelligence and judgement of man's temperament is white if the heart is let his outer skin be black; if his heart is and his temperament be black, let him be white. Therefore, of all importance is the character of the heart. The heart which is dearer. Inasmuch as God has endowed man with this bestowal, such a favor, that is great and this great is great and this great is not to be scarcified for color's sake.
From the Hidden Words by Bala
'O' Liah:
O children of men: Do ye know why
no one should glimpse from one clay? That no
one should glimpse from one clay? Be ye ever mindful of how ye were creat-
ed. Since we created ye all from the same
body, we created ye all from the same
walking with the same feet, one soul,
one mouth and living in one land, that ye
have the same body, the same soul, the
deeds and actions the signs of unity and
the spirit of oneness. This is my coun-
sell of national government is at fault for
not having unity and being in con-
flict the laws that were passed to protect
the colored population. The change in the
national government is so that we unify
the races they were enforced to. It is now
up to the national government to enforce
so that there be no unity of the
races they were enforced to. It is now
try as described by Ezekiel 36-24: "For
you take from among the heathen,
and give to them, and will bring you into your own land." With all the handicaps thrown around the race,
you see their progress, if the U. S. cannot.
Is this country going before the nations of the world to sue for a world peace? How will it look to the other nations, where we have here $8,000,000 against 12,000,000, when we should be one we are divided. And for why? Simply color. When we are all created by the same God and from the same clay, "We desire but the good of the world and the happiness of nations; that all nations should become one in faith and all men as brothers; that the bonds of affection and unity between the sons of men should be strengthened; that diversity of religion should cease. And differences of race be annulled. What harm is there in this? Yet, so it shall be. These fruitless strifters. These ruinous wars shall pass away and the most great peace shall come. Is not this that which Christ foretold? Yet do we see your kings and rulers lavishing their treasures more freely on the means for the destruction of the human race than that on which would conduce to the happiness of mankind. These strifles and this bloodshed and discord must cease, and all men be as one kindred and one family.
Let not a man glory in this that he gives his country. Let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind." Baha'o 'Lilah (Glory of God).
O thou who art waiting,
Tarry no longer, for He has come;
Behold His temple;
The glory dwelling thinsin.
It is the ancient glory
With a new manifestation.
PRAYER
O thou kind God; to me thou art kinder to myself, and thy love is more abundant than any other. I am reminded of the bestowals I am made to receive, the ease of having been agitated I obtained the ease of having been agitated If I am sick, I gain eternal health. If I am sick, I become loyal. If I have been hopeless, I become loyal. Lord of the Kingdom: cause thou the weak spirit, and strengthen my nerves. Illumine my eyes; suffer my harpen to the music of the Kingdom, attain to the joy and happiness everlasting, and the gift of the giver, the gift of the kind—Abel.

CROWDS ATTEND
NEW STANDARD
(By Rev. W. H. Robinson.)
(By Rev. W. H. Robinson.)
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 15.—Turning away crowds of people at every performance. Gibson's purpose is to standard this audience attendance.
The opening of the regular fall season. Even with the third show of the day on the boards, the third evening performance found a mass of people disappointed. The audience was not so good as they were now. The history of the year was nothing to duplicate this success. Lottie Grady, the charming songstress, led the bill, her impersonations of Ada Walker, George Walker and Bert Williams caught the attention of the two members of the Strollers in comedy was delightful in that the piece's refinement and features made it far superior to the usual offerings of this kind. Clever comedians and pretty girls with stunning costumes immediately made it a hit and the exposition of the last two years of the year was an audience audience was loath to part with the act. Simms and Thompson had new songs, which they "put over" with that unction that is the greatest asset of the team. The two Weavers also had new songs, including the "The Gatsby" and the familiar to the vaudeville "regular." Rizzo, a skillful musician on the violin, clarinet and banjo, whose delicate shalings were especially notable, held close attention during his offering. The ex-coadjutor of the show, Sir John in the exhibition of Billy Mills and Maude Frisby, who are high class entertainers. In order that Gibson's New Standard shall be especially inviting, many betterments have been made by Manager Gibson. New seats have been added to the hall, and the hero is evidence of cheerfulness since it has been redecorated, which makes one in a receptive mood for any offering in the way of entertainment. The pretty girl ushers are well decorated with the region's best of the world. The歌is in the front of the house that are now going on it will be the finest ap-pointed house in the country.

COLORADO SPRINGS AND SALT LAKE CITY.
Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 28—That "blood is thicker than water" is a wide-margin success in the framed equally far, and your advance man has come in contact with the people over the river. As I left Denver over the Río Grande, Colorado Springs, I was invited into the diner by the crew in charge and rode them throughout the country on a delicious fare for which my tendered money was counterfeit and chatting of ractice throughout the country in especially in the western travel. The Río belongs formerly lived. The Río the western travel this year and two dinners were required to serve the train on which they rode. Needless to say, the boys are proud of their tiy availings. Mess. S. E. are ahead for some opening in which to invest their tiy availings. Mess. S. E. McCormick and Barber were the crew.
Colorado Springs, famous as a health center of the prettiest, cleanest, brightest little town, the Air is clear and pure, there being no manufactures to pollute it with smoke and flowers seem fresh always.
The 1,500 colored people here are doing many things, including home owners and many individuals who responsible positions. There is one physicist, Dr. Grant, four restaurants, five grocery and two barber shops. The students in the public schools which are attending high school are showing. In the high school there are about thirty pupils, mostly young women, Crags, Craig Watts and Reed being among the girls whom I met. Miss Roselle Reed completes a four-year commercial course of four colored pupils to graduate.
Rev. B. Alard Smith is pastor of St. John's Chapel. He is a progressive church and congregation. He believes in practical religion which helps us to live every day, and has shown his spirit by visiting the church and himself, placed all over town and inviting the public to attend to visit an ideal summer resort, I recommend Colorado Springs highly. Every possible accommodation can be secured by visiting the church, accommodating visitors who wish to spend a few weeks or the entire summer. The atmosphere of the city is restful, and the scenery is superb. Famous Pike's Peak, the Gothic of the Gods, Mantou, the Wizard of the Wizard, world-famed scenic attractions are here within a few minutes' ride or an hour's walk. The city will be even among our people and it will be more so in the future. Mr. Wm. Dunlan, world-famous pioneer citizen, holds a good position in the Exchange National Bank, and owns a variety of businesses. He will be glad to furnish any information to Mrs. Dunlan, an am indebted to Mrs. Ethel Robinson and slender for extensive entertainment during my stay. He is a fine restaurant, a first class eating establishment, where toothsome vlans are served, and defender will be on sait there each week.
Mrs. E. B. Butler, 328 S. Wabstah Avo, is to be the Defender representative, and the staff is urged to send their personal news items to her early each week. Here at Colorado Springs is located the National M. E. ministers, M. E. ministers. It was donated by a wealthy white resident to be used ex-actly for this purpose is a lovely building, furnished and with spacious grounds and every necessity to enable the ministers who have been in the church, to spend their declining days in case and comfort. Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Brazak, to be commended for the great interest they exhibit in every detail of the work. The church does not support the project, desiring to sell the property, and it is charged to donate Colorado Springs people that are without shelter. It is also worthy of being cited in the work. It is to be hoped that the differences will soon be smoothed out.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 20.—Leaving Colorado Springs with its wealth of scenic beauty and its crowds of tourists, the train plunged into the very heart of the Rocky Mountains on its way to Salt Lake City. I have not the space to describe the wonders which greeted my eye every waking moment of the journey, but it was forcibly impressed upon my mind while passing through the middle of the Rockles, just beyond the Royal Gorge, that no matter where one went it was difficult not to find one of the race in some capacity. As the train wound its way slowly around the mountains I saw several men railroad section hands evidently, standing by the track, waving their hats, and two of them were black, their jolly faces shining up to me in broad grins. I hastily slipped the screen out of the Pullman window and tossed the Defender, which I had in my hand out, in the hope that the breeze would waft back to them this little symbol of brotherhood.
In the morning I awakened in Salt Lake City, the home of the Mormons. It is a beautiful place and a credit to the ability of these thrifty, able followers of Brigham Young, the first leader and prophet. The streets are all as wide as our boulevards and kept scrupulously clean. There is the usual hustle and bustle of the city and nothing to indicate that any particular sect or creed is in control. I am informed that about 50 per cent of the people in Salt Lake are Mormons, but that in the rest of the state 75 per cent of the inhabitants belong to the faith. There are between 1,000 and 1,300 colored people here, and it is said not over 150 in all the rest of the state. Very few of our people have become
Mormons. There are about half a dozen of record. The religion of the Mormons teaches that the Negro is inferior to other men, because of the curse visited upon Ham, and they believe that we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore the colored folk can only go into the tabernacle to which the general public is invited, but cannot enter the temple where only good Mormons worship and are admitted. One colored Mormon, Mr. Chambers, who lives at Mill Creek, is immensely wealthy and his name is on record in the office history of the church. He has had four wives but only one at a time. If polygamy still exists, the general public is unaware of it for the Mormons are close-mouthed and guard their secrets well.
Salt Lake has a few pioneer residents among them being Wm. F. Burgess, who operates a motor bus for one of the large hotels, owns one of the two colored barbershops, the only businesses here, as well as several pieces of property. Mr. Irvine holds a responsible position and is a render of the Defender. His daughter is organist at Calvary church. Mr. Jas. Thomas is one of the well known residents who used to live in Chicago, where he was in business. Mr. Strickland is employed at the Semlog Hotel.
Mrs. J. W. Whittington, an energetic and capable young woman, will have charge of the Defender news and information. She is certain to prove successful, and as Salt Lake now has no paper of its own, she will be local editor and editor of the Journal of the City, Review, Williams and Rev. M. H. Whitington. Mrs. J. W. Whitington, her sons of the A. M. E. and Baptist chरेnes respectively and they are doing a good work in the face of many obstacles. The A. M. E. minister was at conference but I attended services at Calvary and was introduced by the minister to the consuls of the City together with several other citizens later, and the discussion with the outlook for our people in Salt Lake.
Salt Lake City has its peculiarities. It is a western town and very liberal and wide open. The majority of our race there are of the floating element, transient railroad men, sports and their fees, and the other are of the latter being white, as often as color. The latter, making permanent citizens, are much in the minority and cannot control the acts of the good time contingent, nor the opinion among the white people that most colored folk are of that class. The result is bound to be that sooner or later opportunity will be offered. There is little opportunity to be closed. There is little chance of except railroad or hotel work, but plenty of chances to secure downtown locations for barber shops, restaurants, tallor shops and the like, as one can rent anywhere in the city. This last fact has resulted in some of the roughest colored people, both women and men, in the most districts. The better elements are thus roughly alive to their danger and are working to better conditions. They will have the active support of the Defender.
Mr. Wilt Duprée is one of two colored men in the Oregon Short Line. His brother Johnny formerly of Chicago, where he was widely a pianist, is a tailor for the Woolf company as an afternoon viewing Salt Lake City from an auto as their guests. Mr. Fred also has a business in Grekowston, where only Green Japs live, who do the rough work around the town. He has become proficient in the town's business and does a good business among the

New York, Oct. 15. — Sunday the Lincoln Giants lost to the New York Nationals when Tesreau was in grand form, whiffing seventeen of the Giants' heavy batters. A crowd that was much larger than the one that saw the National League team play at the Polo grounds jammed their way into Olympic field and every available space was taken. The New York team was helped along a great deal by costly errors made by the Lincoln team. Wiley's poor throw in the opening inning of the third strike on Eddie Grant, which he dropped, let in the first run. In the fifth two more blunders let in another run. Aside from this the game would have gone into extra innings.
Tesreau had a barrel of speed and although the Lincolns got eight hits off his delivery he fanned seventeen and set a new record for Olympic field. The National League team touched up Cyclone Joe Williams for eleven bingles, three of which were for extra bases. Fletcher, Chief Meyers and Robertson getting two baggers each. Wiley and Grant hit Tesreau for two-base drives. Of the eleven hits the leaguers got Larry Doyle, Meyers, Fletcher and Tesreau got two apiece. In the first game the Giants defeated the New London team, 5 to 2. The scores:

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."

were not more than seventy-five onlookers to brave the cold winds and threatening snow show how much apportion in applauding each player's play. The contest was a 35-hole match. Playing in the first 18 holes qualified for the first 18 holes qualifying for the championship. They were: Bottoms, Speedy, Burton and Wright. Players to qualify for city honors were: Pankey, Duncan, Carroll. Mr. Bert Burton of Marion, Ind., played the lowest score up to the 36 hole, but was closely trailed by Speedy and Wright. The final score was a 6 bogy at ball off the course, causing him to miss 3 strokes. The massive strength of 6 strokes wiped out a 6 bogy at the 38 hole with his Burton $ causing him to finish one down.
Those who qualified were: Speedy, 92; Wright, 92; Burton, 93; Bottoms dropped out at the 29th hole, being too chilled to play further. For city honors: Pankey, 95; Duncan, 97; and Perry, 93; Carter, of New York, as Bottoms, was compelled to withdraw at the 25th. Speedy and Wright played off the tie, speedly winning by one up. These two mid-iron drivers battled 15 holes for three and one-half hours to gain supremacy of golfers. Theo. Pankey, who was a big favorite, could not hit his stride until he played the 20th hole. He also suffered with a sore arm and could not get his putter to work correctly. Mr. Perry broke his driver which retarded his game greatly. Mr. Duncan finished strong with some of the best mash shots of the day. Burton's wonderful drives were the feature of the game. After the game a swell dinner was given the players by Mr. Bottoms, of De Lux fame. Different dishes were molded in golf style, which suited the occasion. The four great golfers, Speedy, Bottoms, Burton and Wright, will play the white champions of Jackson Park Club Monday, Oct. 18, on the Jackson Park Links. Mr. Theo. Pankey, president of the Alpha Golf Club, speaks at length of having several eligible players for next year's champion games.

If you are of school age—whether beds of boys and girls are growing up or of what is taught in the school room. of the street, however, they are wiser for leaving school is given that it to help support the family. In some instances it is not; the child brain sees knowledge for future use, but lives only directly responsible for permitting their future career. schools have come into existence the last three disasters. The working hours and the night school offers an advantage as both the brain and the hands are to some attractive study offered every student, and as knowledge is something that no can should take advantage of the spider it schools.
THERE IS LITTLE EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE in this day and time, when facilities for getting an education are right at your door, and very often forced upon you—if you are of school age—whether you want it or not, and yet hundreds of boys and girls are growing up about who only have a smattering of what is taught in the school room. When it comes to the knowledge of the street, however, they are wiser than Methuselah. The usual excuse for leaving school is given that it is necessary to find a place where the instances is true, but in the majority of cases it is not; the child brain is of storing away knowledge for future use, but lives only in the present, and parents are directly responsible for permitting them to fall by the wayside and mar their future career.
Since night schools have come into existence the last prop has been taken from under these deserters. The working hours and the school hours do not conflict, and the night school offers an advantage over the day school, inasmuch as both the brain and the hands are taught at the same time. There is some attractive study offered every student, be they six or sixty years old, and knowledge is something that no one can get too much of those who can should take advantage of the splendid opportunities offered by the night schools.
INTIMIDATING GRAND JURIES
A small bank and file of citizens living in a community are expected to administer justice, while raising their own lives in their hands, ruining their fellow citizens. It is impeded to investigate crimes committed by judge jobbers, compose the force law, or the consciences of the semirighteous indicted lynchers? Yet we have been the past few years that sentiment was a consequence and that the time was rapidly a way would courageously perform their duties all a mistake; and judges are we are to judge by recent occurrences, we have future. Another of Southern States suffered from a misunderstanding, grand jurids have rigged to identify any of the participants. That is the whole miserable business, for, besides, encouragements to persist in their actions, it shows a degree of moral obliquity that discredits our civil institutions and are usually composed of men of respite, and to say they could not, if they were who the leaders of the mob are, would awaken officers of the law deliberately re-engage with the complicity by grand jurors an element of society who do likewise.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT IS ALL POWERFUL. A small body of men taken from the rank and file of citizens living in a community where mob law rules cannot be expected to administer justice, when perhaps by so doing they are taking their own lives in their hands, ruining their business or becoming unpopular with their fellow citizens.
Grand juries impaired to investigate crimes committed in the South hauled upon as huge jokes, a cog in the force law machinery which attaches to the law in the Southern States, a grand jury ever indicted lynchers? Yet we have been told from time to time during the past few years that sentiment was running strongly against mob violence and that the time was rapidly approaching when judges and juries would courageously perform their duties. It seems, however, that it is all a mistake; judges and juries are still afraid of the mob, and if we are to judge by recent occurrences, we have little to hope for in the immediate future.
It is the number of Southern States suffered from an unusual number of mob crimes, and as usual, grand juries have reported that it has been impossible to identify any of the participants. This is the most disquieting feature of the whole miserable business, for besides giving aid and comfort to lynchers, encouraging them to persist in their demoralizing and murderous practices, it shows a degree of moral obliquity among sworn officers of the law that discredits our civil institutions and menaces our social peace and security.
Grand juries are usually composed of men of responsibility and of average intelligence, and to say they could not, if they wanted to find out in detail, the reasons for the lynchings, the sheerest nonsense. When sworn officers of the law deliberately refuse, through unobstructive a subterfuge as that employed by grand juries, what can we say against the ignorant element of society who do likewise?

A VILLAGE PHILOSOPHER rises to remark that if you wish to know all about a family, employ the hired girl who formerly worked for it. That's one way, and another is to listen to the village gossip who makes it her business to attend to everybody's business but her own, and there are many forms of village gossips, the most contemptible of all being the one who gets into and get into your confidence only to be beryl it at the first opportunity.
The busy man or woman has little time to listen to scandal about their friends; even if it is served up daintily they refuse to listen or talk upon the subject, and by so doing spare themselves a great deal of embarrassment and unpleasantness. It takes so much time to attend to your own business that even though you were inclined to listen to gossip, you should also be doing yourself as much of an injustice as you are the one maligned.

Something happened, as it always does in this lawless State, to mar the trip, and that something was the presence of four colored chauffeurs to whom the "best citizens" of Forsyth County strenuously objected, and so peeved did they become they threw brick bats, stones, sticks and, in fact, anything they could lay their hands on at the objectionable drivers and their "storical passengers."
This demonstration was the execution of the policy which Forsyth e have pursued for some years of allowing no Negroes to come into county, and these four men were the first to cross the county line since that their rights as visitors who had been invited to a strange country to say nothing of their rights as citizens upon a public highway, had not been respected. Wright Willingham of Rome, speaking before a large assembly, took a deserved ran at Forsyth people, when he said:
"A sense of duty to my State will not permit me to remain silent over a liability which thrusts itself upon us in the beautiful county of Forsyth, where, going today as their guests on this mission of peace and progress and co-operation, we are confronted with a spirit on the part of many of the citizens of that county which would seem to me to be the antithesis of all the virtues we have discovered elsewhere, and this because every Negro driver from the car, and every Negro tourist from the car, has a few of our tourists had Negro drivers for their cars, culminating in an effort at Cumming on the part of Forsyth County citizens to take one of our Negro drivers from the car, and to do with him the Lord knows what. "Conditions like this can no longer be regarded with calm satisfaction, but must commend themselves to the patriotic men of our State. The men of Georgia, the men who represent this State in the Legislature, the Judges of Georgia, the men who represent this State in the unchance which is being bred in this Commonwealth, and which ultimately, unless checked, will bury its fangs in the entire body politic."

Further we sayeth not; Mr. Willingham seems to have entirely covered the ground.
INDIAN SUMMER, perhaps like the ground hog, came out, saw its shadow and went back into its hole. We might resort to firing the weather man if we thought it would help the situation any. Those who have tried swearing claim it didn't help.
WE'RE A MIGHTY NATION when it comes to laying down the law to such powerful countries as Haiti. Of course the Mexican situation is different.

A CITY-WIDE CAMPAIGN to increase the membership of the Y. M. C. A. in Chicago has just closed with a record unprecedented in the history of this big city. Thousands of new names have been enrolled and the hand of fellowship has been extended to a class of people heretofore selfishly indifferent to the great good these institutions are doing.
Interest has not been as keen in this work as it should be, to owe the fact that the real object of a "Y" is so little understood. The married man's reason for not joining is that he has a home of his own to go to; the single non-member has a vague idea that it is another form of church work, and if he joins he will be deprived of many of the enjoyments of life.
"Ys" are always non-sectarian—there is nothing churchy about them, save the spirit of helpfulness and co-operation that is evidenced all about and the Sunday services which savor no more of one religion than another. There is no excuse for any man not giving his moral and financial support to an institution whose only object is the uplifting of men and boys, we are extremely proud of the record made by the Wabash Avenue Depository. A I. A. is carrying such a large addition to their membership in the past five days, we are more than a man, young or old, living in this city who does not feel it a privilege to be identified with an institution that is doing more to break down the bars of prejudice and make a place in the sun for us than any other agency known. It isn't the other fellow—you are the one benefited; so show your appreciation right now in a tangible way.

A FLORIDA TOWN has adopted a cheap way of getting their work done on the streets. They arrest as many of our people as they think they need, on a charge of fighting, vagrancy or any minor offense, put an overseer over them, and start them to work. Arrangements are made with the keeper of a cheap restaurant for each of the convicts to get three meals a day for the sum of forty-five cents. This does not include lodging, which the convict must provide for himself. Each morning at seven o'clock the whole body of men report for work, and to the pregnant mother he takes them "French" leave. There are a number of loafers along State street we would like to ship to Florida to join this happy-go-lucky gang, as there is little room for them here in this busy city.

IT IS ALWAYS WELL TO RUN while running is good, and our Southern friends see in the suffragettes' proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution a bitter pill that they will be expected to swallow if the measure goes through, and that pill is that if women are given the ballot the "brunettes," who in many States are in the vast majority, will have the same privilege, and that would never sit well on the stomachs of the superior (2) race.
The Baltimore Sun alarmingly says: "While this amendment would not in direct terms confer the right of suffrage upon women, it would do so in effect, just as the Fifteenth Amendment in effect conferred the suffrage, and that pill would be infused under the blight of Negro suffrage and has exhausted her ingenuity the evil, it will never consent to have the number of Negro votes doubled."
Of course this "serious obstacle" is met by the women who declare that the votes of the Negro women would be met and nullified by the votes of white women, but this assurance didn't sound well to the Solid South, who are doubly scared now that the "Granfather" clause has been declared unconstitutional. The North, not being bothered with this vexed question, sees no reason why women cannot have the ballot, and several States have already bid them enter the ring.
It is a stubborn fact that whatever enamors from the North is obnoxious to the South, and is fought with all the bitter feeling that characterized the unpleasantness between the two sections of the country some fifty odd years ago, and WE are always the bone of contention. It is a wonder our friends and WE are always the bone of contention. We are receive so much attention We are sorry for the cause of the suffragettes if we are in the way, for we believe their cause is a just one, but we can't fade away and be concious by our absence, even to please the South.

OKLAHOMA CAME IN GRACEFULLY after finding herself beaten in the Supreme Court on the "Grandfather" clause question, and this new emancipation makes it certain that the Negro can hereafter vote in that State.
In the Oklahoma Constitution a clause provided that anyone must read and write any section of the State Constitution as a prerequisite to voting. As might be expected, this rule was applied only to members of our race, who stood as much show of getting by the judges as a lamb would of getting out of the clutches of a gorilla. Votes were thrown out for not crossing "ts" and dotting "ts" and other reasons just as ridiculous.
Two election officials convicted of conspiracy appealed on the ground that there could be no conspiracy, as they were merely enforcing the law. The court, however, decided that there had been a conspiracy and election officers who kept Negroes from voting must be punished.
Various means have been used in the Southern States to get around the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, but the shrewdest and most men of the was that adopted by the Supreme Court as "the Grandfather Clause," which in substance provided that only those should vote whose grandfathers voted before the end of the civil war.

OUR HERO
JOHN HOCKLEY SMILEY
THE PASSING AWAY OF JOHN HOCKLEY SMILEY takes from Chicago life a well-known and well-loved personality. When the tale of mortal life is ended, when a period has been placed after the lines which tell of mingled joys and sorrows, failure and achievements, it is a human custom to recount the things which make for good or its reverse in the life of him who has gone to that "bourne from which no traveler returns."
In the reviewing career of John Hockley Smiley one sees so much of good that the failures, the mistakes perhaps become negligible quantities. When one recalls the kindness, the courtesy, the loyalty to friends the deep appreciation of benefits received, feels that memories will not soon erase the name of so gentle a spirit.
Material accumulation is never the test of a life success. Even a material world is beginning to find out that fact. The treasures of truth, of kindness, of honor and of sincerity—these spiritual riches placed in the scales—makes the balance on the right side. And even along the lines of this spiritual accumulation no man can judge his brother.
Only He who sees the hidden aspirations which perhaps are never realized, who knows the desperate striving after an ideal which is never attained. Because perchance of some weakness or unfavorable environment only He, the all wise, can be the proper judge. In life results tell, but efforts surely count.
John Hockley Smiley had in dreams his aspirations and made his many effort for their realization. Ill health and adverse circumstances threw their deterring shadows across his pathway, but those who knew him best saw his high purpose and sharp struggle and saw him loved him and feel that he then not lived in vain. He was a newspaper man of marked ability and in him the Defender loses a valuable worker and friend.
living in a different age than his forefathers. His fight is just as futile, just as senseless as is his reasoning along lines where the Negro is concerned. Experience and the lessons of history are lost upon this class and they must be brought to their senses by the iron rod of justice, not as they see it, but as the fair-minded onlooker sees it. They die hard, but let us rejoice that they are dying.

Heart Pains - Angina Pectoris - Pains in Chest.
Pain is a danger, therefore, not always a bad signal, but often a warning, for the reason it acts as a warning. It makes us aware that something is wrong, and we approach, Then, too, chest pain or pain in a region of the heart often lead us to the cause and an explanation of it to the cause and an explanation of the significance of these pains. Suppose you were running your automobile, or the engine you should hear your motor missing would you continue to increase speed by 10%? You should hear the intelligent engineer would pull the throttle and put on more steam to the engine if it is not blinding true? No, we love you would say that the intelligent automobiles or engineer would bring his engine to the correct fault condition animation be made to find out the cause of the irregularity of your engine, and to correct the fault condition before going any farther. And is it not just as you love you would say that you have shortened of breath, the irritation, irregular heart action and tightness, your heart you consider it your duty to shut down your motor so you can go and have an examination made and ascertain the cause of your faulty heart.
Angina Pectoris.
Angina Pectoris means pain in chest. This disease is more common in men than in women, and it is more prevalent in middle or between the ages of 40 and 65 years. It is often caused by worry, mental strain, violent fits and a lack of rest, stipation, and too high blood pressure brought on by a high speed of social life. It can lead to fullness, tightness in chest, pain under the chin, and a signal for you to let up on your high tension. It means that you are worrying too much, that you must get more peaceful sleep, that you must let up on your engine—the heart—because you are going at too great a speed and sooner or later to wreck your engine.
True Angina Pectoris means there is a dissection of heart muscles and of the arteries which supply blood to the tissues, and this condition is very dangerous. In a diseased condition of the arteries or hardening of the arteries, you are liable to have a chest distrophice. It is no time to allow yourself to worry over your business or social affairs, be-
