"Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men" Doing Not Talking for Human Uplift. European Sins and American Sorrows. That the Composition of the Extensive Peace Party Does Not Include a Gentleman of the Race Marks it the First One to Sall Without One. New York City, Dee. 10.—The sailing of the steamer Oscar II. of the Scandinavian American time for Europe with the Ford party marking the first of a rich white act by one who believes in doing much better for the world's peace and happiness. The character of Mr. Ford needs no mention. His deeds are sowing the seed of kindness with substantial help. Every man in the employ of the institution that he represents is given a partnership and has the power to produce a product of his labors. Against the wishes of true Americans this brave party of true Americans have dared to cross the Atlantic and whisper the word of peace to men who are murdering men—for what? Military beauty. Europe's woes are no greater than our sorrow, for while the trenches of Europe contain a great number of human beings, in the American trenches there are 11 million. We are being murdered daily through the warfare of race hatred. Our homes are being destroyed, our fathers murdered and mothers and sisters outraged. While Europe's conflict is the day of war, it has been the fight of centuries. Fierce and more terrible conflict rages; dire suffering follows the terrible sweep of lawlessness from the south to north and east to west. Pause friends of humanity—lend us thy aid. We need the strong heart and the noble soul that has courage of action. Mr. Ford, when you return from Europe, turn the nose of thy good ship to the frowning billows of the south. Dr. Jenkin Loyd Jones is a member of the American Academy for Europe. He is well known as the founder of the Defender for his many defense of the race, "what is to become of the more influence and effectiveness from him. Mr. Ford could not have selected as a member of his party a man of more influence and effectiveness." Dr. Jones the mission of peace is far advanced. The mission in this party puts it down as the first party of any consequence which sailed over one in some capacity or other, however it will not make the party less successful. EDITOR PORTER RECIEVES RECOGNITION On Republican Executive Committee—Knoxville Editor Chosen as Secretary. Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 10—Republicans of cast Tennessee were accorded signal recognition by the party when Editor W. L.

Mrs. Shields, who lives on Wabash avenue, near Thirty-third street, was awakened a few weeks ago and when she went to the door she found two balloons in the street from Goldberg's Furniture Company. They demanded that she pay the entire balance of her bill while they claimed was $40 and which really was $36, or give up all the furniture on which she had paid nearly $20. Mrs. Shields, who is a widow with an infant son to take care of, offered them all the money she had, yet the "shylock" wouldn't accept one cent less than the $40. They were forced to eat of everything. She was the house, taking her trunk and her boy and herself slept on the floor. She took the case to court. The Goldberg Company had it postponed and in the meantime sent word to her and her lawyer that they were willing to replace the furniture and allow her to pay the remaining $35 at the rate of one cent. They were not furniture to be turned highly nolled. This was the only case where these credit firms will sell to our people, saying "oh, we will accept a little down," and telling them they can pay as they see fit. Then taking advantage of ignorance they step in, take away the goods after a lump sum has been paid on it, take it to the shop and sell it. This method has been employed on the board of these years. It is time we get together and fight these white monsters who use us as a prey. BODY OF J. S. WILLIAMS FOUND Jacksonville, IL.

He stood before the grave of earth, His voice was lifted high, He told them of the Negro's worth, His was to do or die.

No guide he placed in his place, His voice was lifted to the last For freedom's darker race.

HANDIWORK REVEALS CHARACTER Training the Conscience is as Essential as Training the Hand for Work—Practical Work Develops the Thinking Powers. By Dr. J. H. House Hampton, Va., Dec. 10. I suppose that all are agreed that the building up of character is the first object of education, and that reason is the reason that the elements that go to the make-up of character. We must train the conceived mind and the hand to do the things which the mind thinks out and plans. It is now about forty years that we have the second think and the hand to do the industrial education. I am more convinced that if we leave any one of the three elements mentioned we weaken the character of a boy for instance, the manual part. I suppose that there is nothing that reveals the character of a boy so perfectly as his first character, and that reveals the character of the boy, and the knowledge thus gained enables the teacher to labor directly for the elimination of evil and the cultivation of the good in him. The influence of manual work upon mental training is, I think, admitted by all the best educators. It trains the mind, and it acquires the edge acquired theoretically a practical possession of one's being. Again, the responsibility thrown upon a boy in practical work develops his thinking powers and makes him more self-confident in his ability to do things. This is perhaps most important in the case of boys. who are less bright in their lessons than their classmates. The fact that in their classes they are more competent with their mates is a source of enceidragement.—"Southern Workman." THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ENDER READERS--SE trouble, kid?

I numbered among the young men who have come to this city and made good is Major Colonel John Jenkins, 4857 Georgia, came to this city 15 years ago and established himself in a small business. He made friends and will meet him every year. He downs a man who needed help. He is captain of the 19th Precinct, 30th Ward, also an officer in St. Mark's church in Minneapolis. His wife, is now conducting a first class grocery at the above address, where first class service is first class service, are always obtainable. Mrs. William E. D. Moss was buried in Mt. Glenwood Cemetery, Dec. 6. 5. Her funeral was at the church streets, of which church she had been a faithful member since 1902. The deceased was born in 1852 and was a member of the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Co. She, with others, may be credited with its later success. For 18 years she was a member of the receiving many to mourn her loss. Rev. J. T. Thomas preached the funeral. ANDERSON ILL.

Mr. Meier presumably has forgotten that in the picture is shown the negative, asking a white woman to marry him and after being refused struggles with her and sends for a negro preacher to perform the illegal ceremony. He has ended my point—that although the white man advocates political and social equality he will refuse to give his daughter to the negro in marriage. For the white man, Stoneman, the leader of the house advocated inter-marriage; but when Lynch, the negro lieutenant, asked to marry his daughter he refused with contempt. Is it a verity that once in the history of Georgia white people were elbowed, beaten and run off the street by negroes? Who dares answer in the affirmative brands himself an infamous fabricator. Let him read "Facts of the Reconstruction" by Lynch and be convinced. Before concluding I can not leave a statement made by Mr. Meier unchallenged. He says in part that he wants to make it clear to the colored people who read the Defender that "we" white people as much sense as you do. Let me state right here that the fact is evident. How can white people view the "Birth of a Nation" of the Negroes and the Negroes do when the play does not affect unfavorably against them? Mr. Meier continues to say that we white people find faults, flaws and imperfections in a race of today by viewing anything of fifty years ago. I am afraid that Mr. Meier's thoughts I believe that he is wrong. White people has or reached its bounds and fallen on itself. From the revelations of Mr. Meier's thoughts I believe that he is wrong. White man is a Christian white gentleman all white men can be Christians and gentlemen also, but how and it is to think that we white people have a white variety of the human race has never been hostile and I trust never will for do not draw the estimate of a people of the very highest. Neither do I condemn a people or a nation for having defects. I look to the preponderance of defect over all human humble philosophy and would to Goal that all mankind were devout enough to grasp and cherish it in his bosom as his own. I think that all mankind and quintessent beauty may be compelled to look down upon this God's maleficent philosopher and displeasant philosopher and pleasant it is for brevity to duvel together in unity."

The Captain then states that he had orders only for the United Nations and not for the entire country. The reason for this order rests on strange interests. We do not intend to interfere in any way with the United Nations, and we clarified the Captain. If a parallel incident arose, it should be by treaty between the two Governments. Operation needed. The Captain informed us that he does not advocate violence, but friendship. That he wishes the co-operation of all countries would use their influence to preserve this friendship and prevent all disorders. Then he soletletted the of our paper to the United Nations, would use suring words. He hegged us to teach all that he desired only the good will of the Nations, law and order here, and advise the Haitians to avoid all disagreements. I have met recently, he continued, many who are men of honor and patriots and not for the entire country, sentiments that I have expressed to you. He would be pleased to ask again, the aid and co-operation of all Haitians to arrive at the highest results. Also, he would be pleased to visit the posal of all who wish to visit him. They will be welcomed with pleasure at the American Legation. For he has made a number of friends here in 25 years and would be pleased to increase the number, as Agrie Grosso We do not come here to set forth any ideas of false sentiment or interested chauvinism. We simply wish to state what we believe, which imposes itself on real friendship. Often we have been reproached here and abroad for our pronounced sympathies for the American people. But who does not admire this nation whose prodigious development has astonished the world? But we wish for its sake, free, neighborly relations without which we will have a situation like the one described by Rostand in L'Alban where the Duke's free and a prisoner, at the same time, This case is the same which the United States follows, vis-à-vis, some countries as ours. One of James A. Kealey's ten years ago, the "World's Work" said in clear and positive terms, "It is now the only country on earth where the blacks are politically superior to the whites; this must cease." Consequently, it is unfortunate that small personal ambitions have brought us to the state of disorder in which we find ourselves involved. But are we for that reason totally lost? For five years blood ran on the shores of the Potomac and the Hudson; the President Lincoln, the great liberator, had been pressed down. The Union was threatened with destruction and he did not return; it was, however, peace was again lost. But the first return of the world was enacted, but the first liberator of the United States. Woodrow Wilson, the President, was able to write of this period, "The National spirit was awakened and finally realized its strength." The scene was enacted for the creation of a new nation. There is so much to say on this subject of American history that I cannot be honest. I want to explain to my compatriots that the geographical polarity on the part of the strategic states in the United States, due to the strategic importance of St. Nicola Pier. It is not I, but you. I will review the statements of authentic documents. In the Sept. and Oct. 1953, nummer 10 of the magazine World's Work, by Eugene Lyle, Jr., published a series of articles which would describe the strategic states in our diplomatic relations with the United States. The titles of these articles suggest the tendencies of American politics in the past. I will cite: "The Introductio in Santa Ponantia," "Our Control of the Antilles," and "The Republic and Our Strategic Needs." The Deep Reason: The statesmen who have the safety of the Republic at heart, should secure them, and guarantee them, quietly some passages, we result. "When we build the Panama Canal, we shall have the European powers at our disposal, the French, the Dutch, the Canal constitutive, the effective places of defense and not the expensive fortification of Saint Pontifex Haiti, the Islands of Saint Pontifex Haiti, Rio, and St. Thomas constitute the real defense of the Canal. A Republic of the United States can, therefore, future expansion. Our strategy is our sat that our strategic possessions have not passed a reasonable limit. Economic security is civilized nation the right to subdue a non-progressive people. . . If in order to secure the triumphs of other nations, the possession of Nicolas Ray becomes necessary, it only rests with us to make a decision." the American Occupation. This is in order to ensure we and demands our deepest meditation. It constitutes the inevitable ransom of our wildness, the ultimate results of our errors, of our unimportant faults, and our unimportant desire to ourselves. I do not intend to criminal against any one, nor to increase the near or distant responsibility in a question where the actual gravity must be observed. If our house were in danger of burning, we would consider only one thing and that is in spite of everything, the house must be saved; and I believe we should be our care. Solution Needed The American occupation in its delicate and desolate complexity raises for us some important questions which require our attention. The situation can not be considered, sought or obtained either in our habitual doings, our customary calculations, or in our own compromises. In the trary; the hour for wisdom has finally sounded for us, and it is only by using the most advanced information that we shall be able to go with in our difficult situation where we have been driven. For at least a quarter of a century the United States have been fixed on us. Pretext Furnished. Our endless competitions of interest and our bloody commissions which thereby have been made for us to pieces had their echo in Washington. And to the more clear-sighted Haitiens, it was evident that one day or other, this chronic state of disorder would furnish to the American Government sufficient pretext for intervention in our affairs. This is not the time to debate on the question as to whether a strong nation has a right to interfere in the affairs of a weak nation. But if the question were put to me, I would not hesitate to respond in the negative; for I hold that nation like an individual each has control of himself, and each has the right to seek his way, to follow his destiny, to declare and make worthy his aspirations to the best of his ability. This is an incontestable fact. Another fact which is no less important, but in a measure equal, and which the Haitiens ought never to mistake, is that when a nation like an individual has control of himself and the unhampered right to follow his destiny, the exercise of this right requires an imperious and unavoidable duty and that is, to show at all times and under all circumstances that strong moral discipline which removes and illuminates from our conception all tendency to disorder and all inclination to brigandage, and likewise to affirm and prove that we aspire to good and to better, and that it is our earnest wish to avoid the old paths and the old mistakes. This great duty which is the same for all peoples, we have therefore disregarded in order to obey only our inquiries, we have therefore the narrow paths of our little personal knowledge of the eyes of the White House were not fixed upon us, even if we had nothing to fear in regard to outside interference on our management, we were none obliged to respond to such a nation since a nation which do not progress, recedes, and since a nation which recedes soon finds itself in the position of a nation which does not conduct ourselves with lenency and propriety and to show that we are a human people desirous of contributing to the world. But since to our knowledge, the White House was watching us, and since in fact it has posted sentiments on our cross streets, our bad management assumes a character. The danger was known immediately and suitable. For the last ten or twelve THE CHICAGO DEFENDER INSURANCE CO. VIOLATES THE FEDERAL LAWS Employment of Race Men as Agents "Against Its Policy" While Many Hundred Thousands of Dollars Are Paid by Them Into Its Funds. IDEALS OF SLAVERY. Principle Involved is a Grave and Serious Question Affecting the Civil Status of All Citizens—Insurance Cos. Are Servants of the People. JUSTICE DEMANDED The Metropolitan Insurance Co. does not consider men of the race worthy of its employment to act as its agents. The application for an agency by a race man does not require an agent. A well known man was evily turned down by an official of important jurisdiction. The first letter written by Mr. Clifford French of 2307 Whitpool st., Nigalla Park, N. Y., to the Metropolitan Ins. Co., enlisted the following reply: Letter of E. De Angela. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. (Grant Park Dist.), Chicago, Ill. Sept. 25, 1915 Your Sept. 22nd letter is very interesting. I do not control the south side of Chicago. It being dilding is not a managers. Frankly, Mr. French, I hate to discourage you, but I do not believe it would gain you anything by seeing them. I can say, therefore, is I am sorry. Yours very truly. To be Angels, Supt. Unwilling to be offered in that way and insisting on honest inquiry, Mr. French again wrote a letter to the Metropolitan agent of the Chicago District, and the answer is sure and plain a denial of common and a plain net of discrimination on the letter to the insurance company. The letter reads as follows: His Letter of Insult Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. (Grant Park Dist.), Chicago, Ill. Oct. 2, 1915. I have received your Sept. 30th letter and am sorry you did not grasp the importance of your work. Because of experience our company employs no colored men as agents. Again I am sorry. You truly. To De Angellis, Sunt. The name of Mr. French is of no material value or would the name of any other employer be appropriate for the location, or identity of the wrong. It is the principle behind the object, the object of slavery, the object of slavery not acknowledged, the southern application of recognized social injury and harm, ignoring the merit rule, and harm, ignoring the merit rule that we attack, unfit and deny admission to as citizens of the United States. A Wrong Admitted. If any案件, or otherwise, that receives life from a public grant, and afterwards maintains itself should deny charges against the public (the public) equal justice in the operation and general use of those rights. It is the charter and a public wrong. The larger the corporation the greater the magnitude of its crime, if such there is, and the greater the wrong that somebody be applied. This is a vital question. It binds upon our constitutional rights, citizens, and directly affects politics, social and economic status of all people. Equitable Justice. The right of all citizens to participate in the enjoyment of industrial enterprises of which they are a part, created through and maintained from revenue paid by the questionably settled in favor of the citizens. The Metropolitan Insurance insurance much revenue from policies issued to raise funds for larger field and the fact of its great utility because of small premium charges, we must truthfully state, that a large range of 100,000 dollars per race are paying into its funds annually many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The district in question, the South Side race citizens more than 100,000 race citizens—a lucrative field for any insurance company. Our right to deny any corporation a right to race upon which right kand upon the interpretation of the Constitution. No institution possesses a right inherent or otherwise to pursue any policy that is inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution. If the Metropolitan draws the color line it violates that law. Policy of Degradation. "Aiming to prevent the people that make possible its huge dividends? Think the situation over and see if you are justified in paying your money into an institution that receives your dollars that you a chance that it does other men. They say, pay us your money and we will pay you when you die, but we can't give you a leaf of bread while you live. We can't do no more in their day of tyranny and do not receive them received from us the returns of honest toll and in return applied the lash. I applied the last. Justice Demanded Do not deceived you who are dependent upon the public for your patronage, the people are becoming conscious of their rights and justly demand of you their future. You are growing institution to refuse equal conditions to all people is failure on its part to grasp the opportunities before it. The citizens of the metropolitan citizen in America. Through the columns of this paper the policyholders of the Metropolitan company resent this evil affront as a reflection upon the intellectual failure to honor an honorable obligation.

WOOD ALCOHOL IS DANGEROUS TO EYES Blindness May Occur By Inhaling the Fumes, or By Absorption Through the Hands. Symptoms Headache, Dizziness, Weakness. Night air is as good as a brewer, 395. In fact, it is apt to be purer in the city, dust, smoke and irritating gas and ashes from ten thousand chimney pots are less after dark. The furnaces of in-the-air, or in-the-air, are used for a very low work (or rather worse) in the full blast of business. In the absence of a gate of wind, the dust of street traffic and the dirt stirred up by five million human feet during the day are less active when the city goes to work. When the air is more airy, the gas is more green and the gas is also�r. A공r. in a plentiful supply of pure, fresh air in it all the time is a mighty poor house to live in. Wood alcohol appears to be especially danger-causes of death. The air is always causing blindness. Dr. James A. Campbell of St. Louis, In a paper read before the Optalbatic Society last June, said, "Wood alcohol blindness may occur by the use of a gas, or by the absorption through the hands, and one can be caused by it being splashed into the ores. The symptoms are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, prostration, blindness and death. Blindness is a late condition, and it is not a general rule, if treated early, but if left until nerve degeneration takes place the blindness may be permanent and complete." The dropping leaves of the plants in win-win are not the cause of the fresh air on lad air. Sunshine is a good saloon for good health. Money wisely spent for public health purposes invariably pays handsome returns on the original investment. Hydraulic blossoms are the only two of the two which are very vigorous; decay less rapid; death more remote. Defective sanitation means defective civilization. Where the sun does not go, the doctor does. An old Italian was a mortgator in your future, and he was a mortgator. On your future, he is a mortgator. One will foreclose.

OFFICE CREATED. The Unique Position Filled by This Race Himself. Thus Making an Opportunity. PLAYS POPULAR AIRS. San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 10.—The world's greatest fair and exhibition passed into history December 4th. Its wonderful achievements are well known to the civilized world, as this was a world's fair. An interesting bit of its history we will mention, relating to the illogical trumpeter, Mr. William Hooper. He is a race man and a native of the south. It is appropriate here to say that in all of the world's greatest events, the race has played an important part. Mr. Hooper, the official herald, announced to the world two years before the exposition opened, its coming, bid the gates to open and sounded the last touching note that sealed its history. High up in the Tower of Jewels, 350 feet in the air, true to his mettle, true to his make, when 500,000 people below bared their heads at the point of midnight in true appreciation of the event, and sang "Auld Lang Syne" and "Farewell to Thee," a hush and all is silent, our trumpeter sounds the end! Mr. Hooper is a genius. The instrument that he used in giving fame to his — was a creation of his own. There is no other instrument like it in the world. On a sunny morn two years before the exposition Mr. Hooper appeared before President Moore and commissioners of the exposition and explained his invention and why, and they were pleased and commissioned him official herald, which position he has filled with credit. Policewomen are paid inferior salaries because they are women. There can be no justification in that policy. The pay of $200 per year is not in keeping with the law. In justice to their efforts serve us we are to be equally as liberal in compensation. PICTURES [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie].

Hall. Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—There was organized in this city in 1885, more than 100,000 students, 10,000 teachers, Wilberforceans, which is composed of graduates and under-graduates of Wilberforce University permanently or otherwise, in the purpose of the organization is to cultivate closer fellowship among its members, to extend proper welcome to all the alumni of the university, to foster a city, and above all to co-operate as far as possible with the management of the university towards its material advancement. Bishop in the A. M. E. Church, clergy-men, a state educational officer, teachers, government officers, business men, etc. The Society has directed a number of students to Wilberforce University, and has sponsored some of them. It has awarded prizes in gold to students of the university for academic scientific and biological study and awards in silver to some of the library. It secured over $1,700 for the Building Fund for the girls of Wilberforce University, and for the building of Wilberforcian Clubs in several other cities, and has been addressed in large numbers to the Metropolitan W. E. Chase Presidency Howard Taft, the late Hon. John M. Hurlman, member of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the late Dick, formerly a member of the United States Senate from the state of Ohio. forelans under the presidency of Mr. James C. Wright, has planned to assist the University authorities in securing the allowance of $250,000; to petition the mishap-hospitalization of the University of the A. M. E. Church to modernize Shorter Hall, and to make Wilberforce greater collegiate university of said church; to appeal for a number ofgressive methods in the management of the college department of the University, the reaction to the number comprising the Board of Trustees der to comply with the state laws of Ohio (1912) which provides that the University must not exceed twenty-one members, and to conduct public meetings of national character in the interest of University Education and a Greater Wilberforce. Among those whom the Wilberforlans have entertained are Hiphops Joshua Searcborough, Siphi, Wm. President, S. Scarborough, Siphi, Wm. President, Secretary Horace Tailor, Dr. W. E. B. DuPois, Miss Hallel Q. Brown, and Major and Mrs. W. T. Anderson, the activities of the Washington branch of the Wilberforlans are to point out the possibilities open to the authorities of the institution to the hundreds of graduates half way the hundreds of graduates whose loyalty is questioned and whose interest and efforts will be an asset to the University once they are enrolled. The activities are being conducted along business lines, that the system of bookkeeping is brought up to date, that every dollar can be invested in the students' work obtains throughout the various departments, that church policies are eliminated from university affairs, and that at least some of the money used in entertaining students is being used to pay trustees is legitimately diverted to the payment of a salary to a first class bookkeeper for the Secretary of the University, and that upon a "vest pocket system" a system that does not inspire confidence among wealthy business men, many of whom would contribute liberally were millions less suggestive of mismanagement. Upon inquiry, the president of our organization has been reliably informed that representatives of the Carnegie Foundation and of the Hebrew Fund have made several trips to Wilberforce for the purpose of securing information that would justify them in giving their visions to the university. Unfortunately their visions have without favorable results. AND WHY? Was it because the merchants in Xenla would no longer extend credit to the university? Was it because they found out that a considerable sum of university money had been loaned to certain individuals that had been found in the university and then been found in the books and that there was no record showing that interest has been collected by the university on the university's behalf? Was it because the Secretary did not know "exactly" how many students were enrolled, and had no systematic method of rating the students' work? Was it because of a general state of inefficiency, of lax indifference and of jealousies among the members of the faculty, that it had a combination of these imperfections? Certainly there is something wrong at the university: representatives of such large bona-fide institutions repeated trips, unwillingly find that they cannot consistently recommend the university to a future, as they desire, through adequate And why is it that one seldom, if ever, finds any mention made of Wilberforce University in the 28 columns of the book published at Nashville, or in the 48 columns of the Christian Recorder, published at Philadelphia? Both of these excellent newsletters, which are supported by the A. M. E. Church, and It is doubtless true that an occasional strong letter anent the conditions at a Pleasig Church, the spryant and Jones imbrugle in Tennessean, are the half column article about the happenings at a M. Pleasig Church located somewhere in Pennsylvania, or a two-column letter from the presyrant and Jones imbrugle in Tennessee, are the trouble? Is the university dying or is it already dead? To the Wilberforce University, or to the president of the Presbyterian, or the Bishops, or the Board of Trustees or of the three Recorders to see that the university is divorced from its Anti-Semitic ideology, brought up to a degree of efficiency that is in harmony with the times, even at the cost of a complete reorganization, and the regeneration it will be quite useless for the hundreds of graduates and undergraduates to spend their time in an attitude of Wilberforce Spirit" or a "Greater Wilberforce."

I can't go home!; then in almost the same breath, she said. I left the station and will do, what will do?

Washington has gone to his reward. He has spanned the black gulf with his bravery, prejudice, discrimination and segregation. He has passed through the turbulence of the Civil War, obstacles that laid in his path barring race progress and race bettement; passed unchallenged through the valley of death; and emerged as a champion lenged his entrance to the Holy City; all eager to add a star to his bright crown, and laid down the cross, with one stroke of his pen he wrote on the last page of his book, now on bow submissively. His work is done. There was another Washington. His name was George Washington—made famous in the past, being our president, enjoying being characterized as the father of our country. But his glory was dimmed by Virginia once held shaves—brought and sold human beings; while Booker T. Washington, the race of black slaves of the South, whose ancestors were brought to this country bound in chains, and sold into slavery. George Washington, our first president, taught us the englishized educator who started forth into the world a giant, friendless youth to yet be made good. Can any other race of people produce a man of such humble skin, with the galling yoke of slavery, most deplorable depths of degradation, who by his own will, courage and determination severed the fetters that bound him, the illustrious men of all nations, making so good a record? Truly a great man. How great the name of Washington. High up on the scroll in the halls of fame. Looking ahead we will find untainted "Booker T. Washington," the great educator's name. How great the name of Washington. To his memory all honor is due. He fought with a will for the good of his race; Discrimination and unfairness he fought against. How great the name of Washington. How crowds and all nations Watched his upward flight to make a name: How he won by energy, will and deter me? How great the name of Washington. His name shines on heaven's earth. Like burnished gold, so bright, so fine, The glimmering light reflects from that earth. As a beacon to the dear ones left behind. How great the name of Washington.

Education Should Resist Upon a Liberal Foundation and Equalize Men. Teach the Child the World is Good.** **Baltimore, Md. Dec. 10.** The installation exercises at Morgantown College were a great success. The institution, an excellent program featuring an education was intelligently arranged, Rev. Chas, W. Walbald, D., D. Vice-President, Board of Trustees, presided, Invention Board, L. Z. Johnson, D. D., and greeting from representatives, P. B. Kelly Miller, LL., D. Principal, P. B. Kelly, LL., D. Principal, Hawkins, A. M. Daniel, T. G. Carland, Penn. The address of William Pickens, the Co-Chair of fall of wisdom and inspiration is A Teacher's Creed. I believe in education, the progressive adaptation of the human organism to its environment, and the moulding of that by the mastery of thought and work. II. I believe that the ultimate end of education is not the monguardement of the earthly nature, but the human character and human happiness; that the advancement of the man in this world is his best preparation for beginners; that the other world or worlds he may enter hereafter. III. I believe in breadth in the educational foundation—that the "vancing student should learn his own way," conversely; that a specialized education, unless built upon a broad and generous foundation, causes men to move in the same direction; that mutual understanding and sympathy and accentuating the prejudice, introsiveness and class hatred of the more advanced, and that a common stock of knowledge, the more sympathetic, liberal-minded and generously-hearted we are; that the more we learn of the world, the better follows we become. I believe that education should draw out courage, self-respect, love, and all attributes and inclinations and potentialities with which God and curse do dawned man; that if these powers are left into right paths they become blessings and with which God and curse wrong courses they become curses; that the indlining self-preservation, for example, when it becomes kindness, mindfulness, metaphysics, philosophy, wrong course when it becomes self-selfness and an inordinate greed for material power. V. I believe that the highest aim of the educator should be, in so far as is conceived, to teach the individual capacity and individual characteristics of man, equalize them, and not to reaw a few big beings from the wreck and ascride of the rest of mankind. V. I believe, however, in taking account of the individual capacity and talent and individual characteristics of man to a Procrustae heed; that the man should be compelled to conform to some formula of education prearranged for a class, a creed, a color, a race, or other accident or moment of death. VII. I believe in all kinds of education—education in all forms of work and work; that nothing, either small, which affects human life and human happiness, is beyond the realm of Finally, I believe in democracy in education; that the child should be taught to respect the rights of all with all of its colors, races, local and individual differences; that the differences between antagonisms and antagonisms but constitute the logical differences which constitute the very differences enhance the beauty of nify the possibilities of human life, and the great good and the benovence of the Great Gatsby.

Railroad Rumblings THE CHICAGO Equal Representation in the Administrative Branch of the Government Is Necessary for the Growth of Moral Respect. Improvements in our police department which does not include representation of a large, growing, vigorous and progressive body of our citizenship would be so serious error. No intelligent person would attempt to justify such a course. Chicago presents a great problem in relation to law enforcement. A vital factor to the successful malnageliance of law and order is the proper organization of the police departments. Women have proven themselves efficient in the duty of police work wherever employed. Chicago has its quota based upon accurate knowledge of police work. The increase of crime in Chicago necessitates an increasing number. We agree with this policy and insist that women of our race be employed, that we be represented as other races in the work of social betterment and law enforcement. Our interest as taxpayers and citizens is the grounds of this demand, which, in justice, cannot be denied. There should be at least ten policewomen of the race aided to those already appointed. Mrs. Gilmer is the recent appointee to succeed Mrs. Barnett.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER BIG SPECIAL FEATURES Barber and Williams Clout Sphere for Circuit Drives and White Boys Go Down to Defeat 3 to 2-Barber's Clout Hits Tire Factory-McAdoo Hits Hard Also. Umpire Calls Him Out on Careless Base Running When Run Meant Much to Rube—Pantages Get More Hits Than Glants But Fast Field- ing Keeps Runs Down. San Diego, Cal., Dec. 11—Had the well- seasoned Glants serve as part of the right field fence been three inches shorter than those chesty bugs who came out and holtered themselves hores for the Pantages would have been more satisfied than they were the second game of the series. The fence was too high for the Pantages but for Ruhe's hunch of clouters it was just Barbe's hunch of a clouted dove and Williams tied by a luck did the Downey. Men tried hard in the eighth and ninth. They seemed to be getting to Williams in the eighth and in encouraged by the populace. With Killen's short leg to short right, Bennett stepped into one of Williams's offerings and for a moment it looked as though it would clear the fence but that piece of pike walled and bounded him. Williams waked Bayless, filling the snails, then caused Autrey to lob one to Bauchman and the crowd gave a groan. Battling hard for this particular and desired game the fans were kept in fever heat by the players who used every method known to baseball followers and several times personal feeling came into evolution, the life of Umpire Chandler miserable. Hosp started the game by catching Williams a bit unsteady and working him for a pass. Bennett struck out and Hosp whaled one over third and Hosp couldn't get out of the way of the ball and was out. Bayley beat out a hit and Williams whaled one over third and Hosp couldn't roll an easy one to him. In the Glint's half of the second inning Killeen got out of a hole when Berger made a great stop and converted it into a double play. Both teams seconded it and the fourth Bayley ran back to the fence and pulled down Hill's drive. Duncan popped to Berger but somehow he got mixed and the ball fell to the fence. Berger's ammunition. Lloyd blazed one over third and Duncan scored. Duncan, however, was in a hurry and Chandler called him out for failing to touch third, and Berger scored the third inning when Bayley tripled. McAdoo came in and made a beautiful stop of Autruv's grounder, getting his man at first and holding Bayless at third. Berger broke out against San Diego but not, when Downey hit a nasty bounder to Bauchman. The play, Bauchman to Petway caused a big unbalance as Bayless was out and the ball was against San Diego whether or not, Jesch drove between Jess Barber's legs or a single but Roche forced Downey and Killeen fanned. San Diego had an end and getting singles, but tugged all. Ump'a Decision Raw. The sixth the fans saw some batting. And the ball park is a tire factory, won as the Savage Tire Company. Jesser had nothing against the company. Mr. Savage but he tried to break the bow in the president's office when he one of Killeen's offerings over the into the plant. Whew! It was some wasn't any need to look for the was gone. Hill walked, stole second-Duncan bunted and was out. Hill to third. Lloyd poked a hot one in the who threw a moment into ill sild safely in to the plate. He called him out and an angusted. Lloyd in the meantime, helped himself to third and take home but Roche tagged him. He play on Litschii spoiled Pan. If, Downey having singled. One wielded the big stick with such the ball fled into far center for the ball. Fosterfans. At'er Gans walked and stole. Bauchran brought his first compatriot home with a sacrifice left to right which Litschii returned badly. Perth was skied to the Litschii and Gans was doubled at the place. Meantime Roche had been widely cut in the great toe, barring the progress of McAdoo and retired in favor of RieIoner. San Diego went down before Williams in their portion tame and gentle like, the Giant collection, picking on one of Killeen's shoots in the eighth and jamming it beyond the left barrier, a large bound assasin. San Diego, he escoured by the audience, strove mightily, to tie and the eighth found Berger getting around the rectangle. Joy sley for a starter, went to the left, fanned; Downy singled to short left and stole; Litsch vaulted and Berger came home on Petwa's attempt to nab Downey, wrong. Bieler struck out in the crisis. Here followed a fruitless ninth for the Glants and the fils brought attention to that unsuspecting; piece of board.

Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 10. —Montgomery wrestling fans are going to be given an opportunity to see the best wrestling at an event in the city at an early date, as a result of John Plambo's challenge to Peter James, which was issued Tuesday night. In replying to Plambo's challenge for a title, he said that he would meet his rival on the mat provided Plambo, who weighs 170 pounds, would reduce his weight to 160 pounds. If Plambo entered the ring at 160 he would have to weigh 160 pounds, of ten to fifteen pounds, as James will weigh in at 148 to 150 pounds. Plambo, in reply to James' suggestion that he reduce his weight to 50 pounds, said that he would weigh in at 160. If he would agree to weigh in at 163. James Agrees on Weight. This offer was then conveyed to James, who declared that he would meet Plambo if weight suggested by the latter, 168 pounds. Now the only thing to be decided upon is just what day the match will be held and at what place. James is the director of the Plano Athletic Club. Plano is director of the Plano Athletic Club.

Hill, yd or Bachman Could Have Gotterold of Sphere but All Shout, "I Got!" and It Lands Safely While Bas Hikes to First—Pantages is Oussed. Solego, Cal, Dec. 11.—Thanksgiving, one of the greatest baseball gambam has ever been seen on the coast.The American Giants triumphed over crack Pantages 4 to 0 and that is o part of the story. Wickwarner was the first player to care for eight straight innings he let without a hit and in the ninth came climax. Going "great guns," Baily trapped one for a Texas leaguer and thman, Lloyd and Hill went after him. Wickwarner hit it, "i hone yelled and the ball fell into mother earth and before anyone did it. It it hit the ground and Baily was perched on first, spelling a boil no-hit game. That was all the time. It was the first far-second base. The first time was in sixth淋 when Roche walked annt to second on a passed ball. Again in the seventh leaguer went to first Wickwarner's error and reached the outfield. It was the third when Downey forced Auret sat on a lightning play, Lloyd to Brian. Lloyd came in, dug the ball of the dirt and tossed it to second as the other innings saw the San Francisco Giants Ware, as we said, was charged up winnet. Only the rankest kind of a bread play by those we named was tassee of it. For eight successive D things the tautage batsmen were swinging their athletic forms into strange conditions in frantic and futtle efforts to connect safely with Wickeware's offerings. It was the last half of the ninth ring with two men gone that Bayless and the three ivories stood in circle six feet in diameter and let it safely. Glants Mean Business. one, Petway opened the third with a slow inbounder that he beat to first. Wickware shook three healthy swings and went back on the bench. Barber worked Schneider near a pass. Hill drove a terrific liner to the fence, and the fence was much difficult. Duncan snimmed one to the right field fence for three sacks, scoring Petway and Barber. Lloyd singled on nearly over second and McAdow ended he fun when he grounded out, Berger to injure. The Giants hung another tally up, and the Giants up another tally up, drove a three-lagger to the centerfield fence and instead of stopping at kep on kept on at full speed towards home. Finding that the Giants had caught them napping they hurriedly re-entered the field, and Gans sidelight safety home. Every Giant connected safely except Wickware. The # Soccer: **Glants—** AB. R. H.

GOVERNMENT FIGHTS ENTRY OF FILMS Johnson-Willard Bout Pictures to Be Kept Out of this Country— Government Lawyers File Answer to Appeal. Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—There was filed in the supreme court today by Assi- stant Attorney General Charles Warren and the judge of the Appeal of the Jack Johnson prize light film case, in which the constitutionality of the law of 1912 against the importa- tion for purposes of public exhibition of the films is being questioned by the owners of the films assert that they own the to bring the films in for their own use for exhibition and not for sale, and there- fore congress has not the constitutional power under the foreign commerce clause to law. The films were taken at the fight at Havana last April between Jess Willard and Johnson. The contention is that showing pictures of a fight is not com- mon law, and that the word is used in the constitution. The government compares prize fight films with the importation of women under the white slave law, and insists that there need not be sale of the actual films, but rather the use of them after importation constitutes commerce, although ownership is retained by the importer. The government argument goes still further and holds that even if the things imported should not be used for public exhibition and should be used only for the exhibition and should not be used law says films "that may be used for public exhibition," that forecloses the whole matter.

The Lincolners looming up to the best. The Lincolners squirmed on by their victory over the crack Columbia Athletes, are not satisfied with the championship of the South and West and are not satisfied with the effort will be made this week to get in touch with Don Jefferson, the captain of the Delaneys, who won from the Lincoln university on Thanksgiving by a 13 to 0 loss.

VERY FEW CHURCHES of any denomination in any section of the country open their doors freely and bid the black man welcome. It has been recorded many times in the north where the doors of these houses of worship have been actually shut in their face, and this is the Christianity the superior race boasts of; this the kind of Christianity we are supposed to pattern after. Somehow it seems to have gotten into the minds of some people that there is a marked difference between the religions of the two races, that there is a division in the Home Beyond. The front room for the great and mighty—meaning themselves—the back room for the meek and lowly—meaning us. In speaking of the plan to divide the country into three General Conferences with one Supervisional Conference and a separate General Conference for the Negro, the editor of the Christian Advocate says: "The Methodist Episcopal Church will pause a while before she takes any step which will by the slightest token indicate to the colored man that he is not wanted. If he, by his own initiative, extricate himself, that will leave the church free. But there cannot be union so long as the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, insists upon the elimination of the Negro." So the first question is: Will she consent to any plan which will include the colored man? The second is: Can we have one great Methodism rather than two as it is now, or four as the proposed plan contemplates? Bishop Cranston says: "The fundamental antagonisms back of that section cleavage of the nation have been settled forever. Yet Methodism is preaching 'free grace' in hysterical dread of a ghost that has been repudiated by the government, denounced by the people, protested by commerce, and no longer has a haunt except in the churches." That being the case why perpetuate that "ghost" by dividing the church? If we have attained the high level the author suggests there will be no minorities to be protected, and no sections to breed antagonisms, but one Methodism as God gave it birth and being in the heart of John Wesley; Methodism as Asbury conceived it and transmitted it to the fathers; Methodism as a great evangelistic and constructive religious agency for bringing people to Christ and building them into the Kingdom of God. What a blessing it would be if men only had the courage of their convictions, if they were not afraid to do right. It is so much easier to float with the tide than against it. In our simple childlike faith we have expected the church to befriend us, thinking it was their solemn duty. We have been disappointed and have been forced to say "and you to Brutus?" We built churches of our own because it was necessary to have places of worship in certain sections of the country but we have not adopted the narrow, selfish kind of religion that is found in many churches today.

It was shown that the murdered man had been abused and threatened by two intoxicated white men, and had been shot when he tried to run away. A southern paper commenting on the case says, "There was no excitement." There is nothing particularly strange about that, the shooting of a colored man for some trivial offense is a common occurrence, and yet when one stops to think about it, there was cause for excitement in the fact that the offender was punished, or rather is to be punished, if there is such a thing as punishing a white man for anything he might do to a colored man. Just suppose for a moment the tables were turned and the white man was killed by the black man? Would there be any excitement? Would there have been a trial with a consequent verdict of guilty? We think not. There would have been the usual gathering of "BEST CITIZENS," otherwise known as the modern Kin Klux and the fun (?) would have commenced fast and furious, the judge and jury possibly joining in the festivities but not in their official capacity. Merely swelling the number of "best citizens." Let it be said, however, in all fairness that the number of convictions of whites for offenses committed against blacks has been steadily increasing under the active encouragement of the press in all sections of the country, so perhaps South Carolina and neighboring states will emerge in the course of time from their barbaric methods into the light of the present day civilization.

It is to this club that the people of this great city are beginning to look to take the initiative in all things that pertain to the welfare of the race, and it is gratifying to note that serious discord is ever found among the members. The annual election of officers of the club was held last Saturday evening. Hon. S. A. T.

ALTHOUGH THE CLOUDS are hanging very low over his head, Joc Campbell hasn't taken the last count by any means. TAXES ARE TO BE INCREASED next year to meet the increasing demands made by the board of education, the c unty and the city. It is a shame to break the news so near to Christmas. It might have the effect of keeping some stocking from being so well filled as it otherwise might have been. COL. ROOSEVELT says if you are not fit to fight you are not fit to vote. If this theory was rigidly enforced there would be considerably less votes cast in this BLUFFING NATION of ours. FOURTEEN MORE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS, ARE YOU READY?

It is Ample Proof of Solicial Deterioration. Segregation socially, morally and economie is unscientific. There is no logic to force weight and value into the truth. All science is based upon the truth, without truth science and logic would have no fact of foundation. There is no institution in the world that is not opposed by the institution in the discussion of all question pertaining to laws social or otherwise it is sufficient to discuss their origin or beginning for proper analysis. We say the unjust burden and the weight of facts warrant no decision by the institution in the attempt in his "New Republic," to justify segregation, but "HE WHO COMES INTO EQUITY MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS." JDGE FRY VISITS DEFENDER EDIT Every all known junctus of the reader, a welcome visitor at an old subscriber Discussed in Letter to Defender Bearing on Historical Data of the Bible, Washington Show Genius of Forefathers. Mr. James W. Webb, well known author of *The Age of the Sage* of Tuskegee, the following entries: To the Editor of the Chicago Defender—The great work that Booker T. Washington exhibited in America, as an educator, shows the Hammite lineage of his forefathers in ancient times in Africa on the River Nile. On the river Nile human history was great Hebrew led, Moses was educated. Moses had the industrial education which Booker T. Washington has exhibited. For when Moses fled to the land of Midan, it seemed he did not have an opportunity to exercise his mental faculties, so he applied to Jethro, the black Ethelma, to occupation to a shepherd of his sheep. All the art of civilization that was formed on the Mediterranean sea was founded by Hamites. The foundation of Socrates and Plato's philosophical schools was an off-spring from the seven Cam-nanite nations who were Hamites or better known in America as Negroes; so long as the Washington, W. E. B. DuBois, W. S. S. S. and others, through many other氏族, have made the great human wisdom of their forefathers, such as Canaan who was the father of the Canaanites, from which the Greek school of Athens received its first light, and also Nimrod who laid the foundation of human wisdom on the Euphrates river, and Mizraim who was the father of theios, and also Cush who was the father of the Bicubian, and also Cush of the Moses selected his wife. Every blue man and woman in America should teach their children that the education they receive whether it comes through one race or another, should be taught emphatically that their forefathers laid the first foundation of education, and especially of industrial education that Booker T. W. W. W. was portrayed himself in American history as the author of the final education in America. Thank God for the Bible that has given a light on all races and where they spring from, and what they did. Without the Bible, the Caucasian race would have me blind in many things which they try to impress upon the race. "The Black Man's Part in the Bible"—resurrects the great things for the race out of the Bible that the whole world has to know, and they hold back throughout all the world at present time. In conclusion Booker T. Washington's great work in America is one of the transformed pyramids of Egypt which will never go out of existence.

FIGHT TO THE LAST DITCH A comment on the recent force called the Campbell trial, by Mrs. Cary is worth noting. However space will not permit the printing in full. But the substance is: don't give up the fight; let the precease established by the Jews in the Leo Frank Prison stimulate us, use every possible effort to uphold and vindicate man whom we think nothing has been proven on. It was not even proven in the trial that a murder was committed. What Dr. Washington Taught By JOHN T. BRAMHALL ADD to BOX WHAT Washington Taught Booker Washington was one of the greatest Americans because he was one of the wisest. He saw, with a clearer vision than many statesmen and educators, the imperative need of a real education for his people. Let me repeat his words as The Daily News quoted them to be the most valuable testimonial to this great teacher. "In our industrial teaching we keep three things in mind: First, that the student shall be so educated that he shall be enabled to meet conditions as they live in a word, to the School to where he lives—in a word, to the School to where things which the world wants done; second, that every student who is graduated from the school shall have enough skill, coupled with intelligence and moral character, to enable him to make a living; third, that every student who is sent to every graduate out feeling and knowing that labor is dignified and beautiful—to make each one love labor instead of trying to escape it." Eliminating the reference to the South, this applies, or should apply, to the school in which the advance in skill, intelligence and moral character, and not the white? There is no reason why the few should get "the education of a gentleman" and the many get virtually none at all. Not that the teacher should not give no education for the plain people is bad. The great trouble with the average American, north and south, is the shop and on the farm. Is that he is carless about education; carless about the quality; carless more carless about the quality. Booker T. Washington especially carless about the quality. Many of us have faith in an educational ideal. Booker Washington had grown nominal freedom, but they still remained in the bondage of ignorance and racial prejudice. Booker Washington taught them how to make themselves free and is now for the Negro alone to honor the memory of Booker Washington, or to profit by his words and work. It is for all Americans, of whatever racial background, that we must join the members of our school boards, to lay this maxim to heart: That all our youth should be so educated as to be able to do the thing that the world wants done, to learn to love, to learn to self-selves and others, and to know that labor is dignified and beautiful.

RED CROSS SEALS. Chicago Tuberculosis Institute and the Colored People. During the last few days we have had a great many inquiries concerning the function and attitude of the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute in its sales of Red Cross Seals. In the first place, the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute started the sale of Red Cross Seals in Chicago for the purpose of assisting in waging a campaign against tuberculosis throughout the nation. The Tuberculosis Institute is used by the sale of Red Cross Seals in lighting tuberculosis irrespective of race, color, or social status. The money is used for the purpose of paying nurses, distributing literature of an educational nature among the people, and also for establishing sanitaryhums for the treatment and care of tuberculosis. So those who assist in the sale of Red Cross Seals assist in the fight against consumption of the people, not only in the city of Chicago but throughout the state of Illinois and through the sale of red cross money derived from the sale of Red Cross Seals is not spent grudgingly, and is not spent with any regard to race, color or locality, but it is spent where it is needed and where it will do the most good. And if the colored people do not receive more of the money which is derived from the sales of the Red Cross Seals it is largely their fault and they have only themselves to blame. People in this world receive less in accordance with their contributions. If you are not in turn be seriously line of thought, effort and co-operation in assisting to help others as well as ourselves, we will in turn be largely benefited. The Chicago Tuberculosis Institute The Chicago Tuberculosis Institute was the organizer of the Free Dispensaries for the benefit of those suffering from tuberculosis, of all races, not only in the state, but throughout the city, throughout the Seals. Long before the city gave any attention to the Tuberculosis Dispensaries, the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute organized, maintained a corps of nurses, doctors, and gave medicine, male visits and the statewide race and race or color, and without a cent of contribution from the individual benefited. Naperville Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Naperville Tuberculosis Sanitarium has always been a private institution, run by the Naperville Philharmonic people, has a capacity for about one hundred or less inmates, Naperville Tuberculosis Sanitarium has the right and reserves the right, so far as understood, to accept or reject any person who wishes to be inject. The Chicago Visiting Nurses Association has two free beds at the Naperville Tuberculosis Sanitarium, paid for out of funds furnished by the wealthy people of Chicago, and they have the right to receive a certain suitable persons for their beds. The Chicago Tuberculosis Institute laid the foundation of the Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium before turning it over to the city. Had it not been for the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute's activity and foresight, we doubt very much THE DEFENDER GOES LOWS CHISTMAS is but two weeks for you have been buying will be given a wish, however, to ask you one question: remembered the poor, over you you buy those who have been less fortunate. DEFENDER started a campaign to help them feel that Christmas is a day of all the rest of the days. Last year, work and goodfellows, over fifty families, Santa Claus, over one hundred children, a small sum but was worth a fortune, clubs who have been wanting to do so is the time for the goodfellow to DEFENDER CHISTMAS FUND and causes that the poor have ever known. THE DEFENDER asks all the cop assist in this work by sending in children and families as well as contrients as well as volunteering to help speedy delivery by DEFENDER auto-live you something for this cause. RAND JURY ACTS IN DEFENSE OF CHILDHOOD on Measures Will Be Taken to Protect Children from Vicious Criminals Who Threaten Their Safety. has been a long time since the fires men were such a grave and serious I as the grand jurors who have just cluded their work. Before them were light the sickening details of brutality most children. Men are all human, there is a large male population with men not men who would spoil tell what we are on the job.

IT'S AS PLAN If you pay rent for 10 years will have paid your landlord $4 you had bought a home 10 year it, just with your rent money you would not have to worry a now about the next ten years the landlord also?

Through the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute a sum of money has also been set aside to assist in paying the salaries of the nurses of the Municipal Tuberculosis Institute, you remember, a few years ago when in well-presented plaques of the city were cut in their salaries for several months, the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute paid the salaries of the nurses doing tuberculosis work or up the dues and thus saved the nurses from suffering a cut in their salaries. For nearly ten years the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute paid nurses' salaries, furnished meeting quarters and promoted organization and prevention and care of tuberculosis among all the nurses, paying the salaries of nurses and other officers until four and a half years ago, when all dispensaries and nurses were turned over to the city and became The Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium. The Colored People The colored people have at all times during the last ten years, so far as we have been able to learn (and then, too, we have been most intimately connected with salis Institution and have some knowledge of its attitude toward the colored people), fared well. Back as far as 1905 and 1906, nearly 10 years ago, efforts were put forth by the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute through its then superintendent, Mr. Wilson, to organize among the colored people of Chicago and assist that people in lessening and ridding itself of its tuberculosis problem. Therefore, the colored people of Chicago should not be so short-sighted, because Nanerville is a private institution and reserves the right to accept or reject certain people, as to refuse to assist in the sale of Red Cross Seals, to raise money to fight the plague of tuberculosis, because the sale of Red Cross Seals is fostered by the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute, that institution having charge of the Nanerville Tuberculosis Sanitarium. The colored people not only in Chicago but throughout the state and nation will get their just proportion derived from the sales of Red Cross Seals for the study, prevention, and care of tuberculosis members of the We must think as often and as much of our duty and responsibilities as we do of our rights and privileges. We must serve, with the charity work done among colored people by the state, county and city, by the white charitable organizations, but we must do as other races and the great human family and accept all we have to offer to another man. We the Jew, German italian, sign nations are teaching us daily the lesson of self-care and self-protection for the needy, although they receive aid from county and city, yet they are organized for the purpose of care of or assisting in the care of their own people. Will the colored people do likewise?
