Seattle, Wash., August 26, 1915. m. Lindley M. Garrison, Secretary of War. Dear Sir: As an ex-office of the Spanish-American having served as Captain of Company "E" of the Now as to the colored citizen of this country coming to its defense there is no question, as he has always done so. But, to use a late phrase, he is beginning to want HIS PLACE "IN THE SUN"—he wants a chance to rise on his merits AND TO KNOW WHEN HE SHOULDERS A GUN, THAT IF HE IS DESERVING OF IT, HE WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO RISE. He can fight and will, but will fight better with an incentive than without one. He is a citizen regardless of all laws to the contrary; also he is the NEW Negro, and NOT of the "Uncle Tom" class, the passing of whom so many white citizens regret. He reads your literature, attends your theaters, goes to your schools, observes you in his capacity as a waiter or porter, and is absorbing the best you have in the ways of civilization, and in fact, in every walk of life, he is a factor; and when he is asked to defend his country should he not be given THE SAME CHANCE AS THE WHITE MAN? You will say that he should go to West Point. Well and good; but who is to send him? Next, who will defend him while there against the "Unwritten Law" of the white students not to allow him to matriculate? The first officers of such regiments could be easily picked, made from Spanish War veterans and non-commissioned officers of the regular army, and second lieutenants from graduates from colleges giving military training. Such an organization officered in this manner would be ideal, speaking from my experience as a veteran of the Spanish War. One thing you may have overlooked: We are ten million in this country, WITH AN ESTIMATE OF A MILLION MEN FIT FOR SERVICE. nger these regiments with criff commissioned officers of the old appoint all 2d Lieutenant country giving military passaging the regular army in the eligible list of the at least two years' service would set a time limit on say ten or twelve years the regular service. to meet any objectivity on account of it I should send to serve where Mexico, or Haiti. vitally, both at One thing you may suppose at such a rope, this country, we should suddenly find The presence and loyalty might mean much for I have spoken plain country.

Suppose at such a crisis as is now transpiring in Europe, this country, with its millions of foreign citizens, should suddenly find itself face to face with a revolution. The presence and loyalty of these MILLION NEGROES might mean much for the stability of this government. I have spoken plainly because I am a citizen; this is my country. I was born here, and shall at all times be found with the flag; hence I ask, that in your recommendations, looking to the betterment and enlargement of the army, you give THE BLACK PATRIOT A "Place in the Sun;" the thousands of young colored men who have passed through colleges and schools in an effort to prepare themselves for filling a place in the world. I am opposed to segregation, but as it seems, under the present conditions of the races socially to be the ONLY way to a square deal, I accept it. There are Irish regiments, German regiments, etc.; let us then have Negro regiments. The coming generations will look after the rest. I am, very respectfully, R. P.

R. P. ROOTS of Seattle, and following this statement. It is not always meet, especially in times like these, of war and stress, of worries and apprehension, reaching across the world, for our rulers and servants, facing great responsibilities and perplexing situations, to respond to every query and satisfy all curiosities. Much reticence must be permitted them. Much accepted, as a matter of course, without pursuing curiosity to the limit. There may be ideas conveyed by Captain Roots to the president, through his communications to Secretaries Garrison and Tumulty that some people may not agree with, but there can be no disagreement over the proposition that the lot of colored soldiers in the armies of the United States—in the past, and at the present, is much different than that accorded to white soldiers; very little to really be proud of; very, very much to be ashamed of—much that is humiliating and depressing. Because the present administration may be powerless in the matter, afraid to touch it, fearing a live wire or something of that kind, should OUR duty in the premises, TOWARDS OUR OWN, be influenced thereby? I wonder—is the time not NOW—right now, to commence an attack upon this intrenched scandal—this dirty, HUMILIATING AMERICANISM? No other nation on earth, Christian or pagan, treats their defenders, their soldiery, so meanly, so shabbily, as does this, her black defenders; but whether the nation is more to blame, than we, who so long have submitted without a murmur, is a question. "The trouble," shouted Cassius to Brutus, "is not in our stars, that we are underlings, BUT IN OURSELVES." Shall we, responding to the initiative furnished by CAPTAIN ROOTS, commence an organized assault upon this national vice against the soldiers of our race? Is this the time, readers of The Defender? Is this the time, brothers and editors of the contemporary press? Let THE DEFENDER hear from you. CHICAGO, DECEMBER 18, 1915 Men in the Land Fit for LE, WASH., in FUR SHOULD BE OCE TO DIE. W SERVICE?

Seattle, Oct. 21, 1915. Mr. R. P. Roots, 400 26th Ave., N., Seattle, Wash. My Dear Captain Roots; I am returning herewith, in accordance with your request, copy of the letter that you gave me addressed to the Secretary of War. I have read it with a great deal of interest and want to commend you for the clearness of expression it contains and the patriotism shown by it. I sincerely hope that the Secretary of War will help you in this work in every way possible. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know. To the Hon. Joseph Tumulty, Secretary to the President. Hon. Joseph Tumulty, Secretary to the President, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: I am enclosing a copy of a letter sent to the Secretary of War, which I would be very much pleased to have you call the President's attention to, and ask if he can approve of it. I was not fully informed as to the President's policy in regards to Haiti at the time of writing, and am not now, except through such information as received by the daily press. Taking that, in the main as authentic, I wish to add that I think a Brigade of Colored Troops, such as recommended in my letter to the Secretary for foreign service, would be the proper thing for Haiti. It being a Negro Republic, the racial feeling as to the Negro's treatment in this country, which I need not mention, has been enlarged upon and not understood by the Negroes of other parts of the world, so that as it seems to me, to organize a constabulary officered by white Americans, would be inviting murder; for agitators from other governments, if they so desired, would soon cause a rebellion, and then you would have it all to do over again. Colored troops from this country, I mean officers as well, would tend to cause a good feeling among the natives, not at first but later on as each became used to the other. THE WHITE MAN THINKS HE IS SUPERIOR TO ANY NEGRO, AND WOULD SHOW IT EVEN THOUGH HE TRIED NOT TO, and the Haitian would be going around with a chip on his shoulder looking for some one to knock it off. You have three men in the regular army who could supervise the organization of these troops, and one who is already a Colonel of the Eighth Illinois National Guard, also several others if you wished to consider them. Hoping that you will see the advisability of such an organization for diplomatic reasons and for JUSTICE TO THE AMERICAN NEGRO, who has been loyal—and served from Bunker Hill until now. I am, Very respectfully, R. P. ROOTS, 400 26th St., N., Seattle, Wash., Late Capt. Eighth Illinois Volunteer Infantry During Spanish War. JAMES C. JONES MAY RECEIVE $1,000,000 FOR PATENT. The Creation of a New Device for Picking Up Mail by Moving Trains Will Bring Patentee Fabulous Sum. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 17. "What may prove to be one of the world's great inventions is the new R. R. Mail receiver, the invention of Mr. James C. Jones of 720 Fairmount ave. For a number of years he has has had the hard and earnest for the perfection of his patent. He has passed through the ordient that is required of all men who accomplish things that are of lasting and durable nature. A test was given the device by E. M. Norris, Supt. of R. R. Mail Service, Second Div. of N. Y., representing the Government; B. S. Fellows, chief clerk of Railway Department; Division, John C. Melen and W. E. Becker, representing the B. and O. R.

CONSTRUCTIVE ABILITY. The Southernner Has Long Recognized in Hampton's ideal the Logical Successor to the Great Dr. Washington, and the One Pure-Blooded, Unostentatious, True Interpreter of the Race Today. By William Anthony Aery. Hampton, Va., Dec. 17.—Robert Russia Moton, known to thousands of white and colored people as "Major" Moton because he was the commander of cadets at Hampton Institute. He taught five years, tells in good faith this simple graphic story of his ancestry: "About the year 1735 there was a fierce battle on the west coast of Africa of one of these was considered the most powerful of his time. He succeeded overpowering his weaker rival and the west coast of Africa in a great many of his band. This chief daid a son a dozen of these unfortunate survivors, to be sold to an American slaver. The young African chief delivered the treasure, a captain of the ship and received his pay. He then asked to go out to the ship to see this wonderful sailing vessel. After he and inspected the ship he was asked by the captain to be said that they gave him some nice food, strange things to drink, all of which he enjoyed so much he fell asleep. When he awoke he was chained to one of the creatures he himself had sold, and (Continued) "BIRTH OF A NATION" SHOWN IN MASON CITY Much to the Disgust and Under Protest of the Citizens with Race Pride.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Dec. 17.—The board of trustees of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute after an all-day session made no selection of a successor to the Washington, founder and principal of the institution. The following statement was authorized by the board and given by Chairman Sue Low, of New York: The board held a full discussion of all the questions involved in the election of a successor to Booker Washington and are a unit in their views as to what is needed. The boarding committee has been appointed with regard to the successor. Low of New York, Campbell to Tuskegee lane of Montgomery, Ala., Trunbull of New York, and Bancroft of Chicago.

Washington's monument and his most famous memorial is the perpetuation of its great statue. The annual outage is approximately $10,000.00, and for the promotion of help and support between the races. The gap at present existing between the ordinary income of the institution and its annual outage is approximately $10,000.00, and close this gap so completely as to make the Institute independent of the interest and support of the living, but it is designed to reduce this gap to manageable proportions. The trustees, therefore, proposed to invite subscriptions to the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) for the continuation of the estate and of the work for the Negro race. It is hoped and expected that $25,000.00 it is hoped and expected that $250,000 of this money will be given to the race, (Continued on page 4.) CORRESPONDENT TELLS EXPERIENCE Dohli, O., Dec. 17.

C., Dec. 17. —The National Association women's Suffrage Association began its 47th annual convention Tuesday, presiding over Anna Howard, whose executive ability has been added to the organization's strength. A petition for national suffrage for women with 4,000,000 signatures has been handed out to the nation. The question raised by the issue of national franchise for women is of the race. We are affected by all social and economic questions, but particular attention is effected by voting in Mississippi. Georgia crosses and all Southern states would change considerably the complexion of the present Congress, have a great deal to do to improve South and lessening Democratic majorities in Congress. It would destroy and defeat the power of lawlessness and place the spirit of home life throughout the nation in the purge and higher basis of a suffrage effort to all citizens will be detrimental to the general welfare of the republic. To be deprived of a voice in the government is the exact position of women held in positions of power in the Southern states. Their defenseless positions and shameless treatment at hands of those who have usurped their rights in the darkest crime of the cen-scious states will stick to their colors. Great principles the end are sure of triumph. DON'T FORGET DON'T FORGET To send money or groceries or toys to The Defender for the poor children's Xmas.

THE PEOPLE COUNT Citizens Would Not Stand to See a Man Who Has Served Them Faithfully Ousted for Political Whims of a Few —Organization Endorses Hugh Norris; Why Not Jackson? By A. N. Fields. It is rumored in political circles that there is a well-defined movement on foot to displace Major R. I. Jackson in the South. It is said, from what appears to be reliable sources, that the movement is prompted by Alderman Oscar De Priest, and that if it has not his open and active presence, it will quiescence. The wise ones are saying that the popularity gained by Major Jackson in the success achieved in various instances in which he had to do has given rise to the desire for his displacement. These, of course, are statements purposeful to come from those who have the power to make a man who has rendered such signal service to legislature just at the time when he has grown to a position of usefulness to his constituents, merely because of someone revolting ambition overlapping itself. It cannot be believed that Alderman De Priest would permit himself to be a judge, except when he lifts upon himself exertion to satisfy the utilical ambition of some man or set of men who can add no strength to him. He must believe that the Hon. Martin Middleton of the organization, will permit himself to be so far misled as to countenance a proposition of this kind. Major Jackson has served the civil legislature with strict and unshielded ability. His legislative activities were of such commendable nature as to occasion the just praise of the civil bodies and with strict and unshielded ability. He has given ample satisfaction to the constituents of his district and is held by them in high esteem. He is difficult for the people to understand for what cause his retirement is required. Congressman Martin B. Madden has served his district in congress and in other positions of trust for a number of years and the people would not, consider him a candidate. He is true of Senator Samuel A. Ettleton, as well as the new senator, George F. Harding. If the rule of continuing men in office because of their ability and efficiency is rigidly applied in their cases, then what makes the rule obsolete in its current form, Jackson, who has shown ellegence and ability in his service to the people? Has his popularity become a disturbing element in the political atmosphere, or does he hesitate to bend the supplanting party's agenda for the leaders of the organization to say that they will be with whoever the organization is for when the organization consists of hand-clucked men selected by and for the organization, and will vote according to their instruction. It is therefore quite evident that if the organization refuses to endorse Representative Jackson for renomination did he have a different and more dependent movements on Jackson's part. There is one thing fortunate in this situation, however, and that is, regardless of what the organization does, the people who are as to Jackson's retirement, and it is difficult to believe that they will do otherwise than register such a tremendous protest as to make known a positive relationship for the organizations are attempting this underhand method. The fitness of Colonel Marshall to succeed Major Jackson does not enter in the controversy at this time. That phase of his career was an acceptance of the excuse of time. The consensus among the people is that Jackson will be returned to the legislature, notwithstanding the apparent opposition; for it is difficult for the people to understand why he would be returned and De Priest, can become so deceitful and subservient when it is instructed to endorse Alderman Hugh Norris for reelection and so difficult to manage when it comes to endorsing Jackson to succeed himself. The leaders of the organization have been asked to stand for the renomination of Alderman Hugh Norris. They said that he had given them efficient service; they sent the word down the line that he was to be renominated. Why has not that same person been pursued with reference to Jackson? It is said by many that the congressman may no doubt find that he has been given the methods to obtain. Major Jackson is deserving of renomination and re-election, and he finds in the final showdown that while they have absolute control of the captains, they should also reckon with the men who they may yet get the error of their way. DR THOMAS LOWELL TREATS PATIENT AT BLACKSTONE HOTEL inability of the Management to Secure the Services of White Chiropodist, and a Creature to All-Manage Service Rendered to All-Manage Service to Apply Those Who Best Serve the Public. Efficiency and preparedness means as much to you in your vocation as it does to the soldier who constantly fits himself for duty. To be always preparing for duty, you must be on Saturday Mr. H. D. Miller of New York, receiver for Buffalo and Susquehanna railroad, president of New Orleans & Great Northern and vice-president of Mexico & Great Western road, arrived at the hospital on Saturday, 9:30 p. m., and hardly had the opportunity to register before a message from New York requiring his immediate return was received. Eleven p. m. was the next train, and he accordingly arrived at the hospital. You such a thing as a chiropodist? I don't care who they are." The management of the hotel was despairing their foolish plight. After vainly trying to secure the service of every white chaprobe, the hotel was Lowell, 22d and Wahsh avenue, who answered the call immediately and appeared at the hotel in faultless style, rendered the guest the much needed service, a credit to the management of the hotel. Dr. Thomas Lowell is a race man, well known and successful in his practice. The management of this hotel and other large institutions would do well if they would employ more men of the caliber of our accommodating doctor. The prime of filling every important post would be to assist others who do not appreciate it may be the prevailing style, but answers not the principle of justice or common sense.

The remaining contributors gave $33,25 making $34,25. It is hoped that others will yet hand in their contributions and the whole amount will yet total $300, the sum that much cannot be said in praise of the many who gave in a truly sacrificing spirit to meet the needs of their church.

Property in Poor Condition, Due to Lack of Care—Many Improvements Needed for Comfort of Old People. At 110 Grant boulevard there stands an old home containing fifteen rooms, which originally was a grant by a good and kind-hearted woman for perpetual care. Two people of the race. Coupled with this grant there is another piece of property on Fifty-ninth street made to the home for its use. In that way a constant income is assured. Good people of Chicago have never failed their parents in the care for the maintenance of the home. Today there are about fifteen inmates in the home, and the condition of the home is the worst that can be said. We do not believe their parents are any person or persons connected or who have been affiliated with the work of the home, but, speaking of conditions as they are now, they are inamentably bad. We believe the citizens of Chicago have no interest in the welfare of the old people to allow conditions to remain as they are. So bad is the sanitary condition of the kitchen that notice by the health department has been given, ordering improvements made. A grocery and meat for $25 is owing, aside from other items of fifteen members, of sixteen members, of whom four are women. There are 100 members who have subscribed to the association. If these conditions are due to poor organization, something should be done to improve the cause, let us not lose the motive that prompted the beginning. PICTURES J. H. H.

TENNESSEEANS HONOR ORIGINAL JUBILEE SINGER Mrs. Ellia Walker Crump. One of the singer's Singers, Entertained by Club Members. The "Tennesseeans" entertained, at an informal reception at the residence of Mrs. Adela Swan Cooper, 3225 Vernon avenue, Mrs. Eliza Crump, one of the two surviving original Fisk Jubilee Singers, and the anniversary of the going forth of that famous band of singers. Mrs. Crump, then a little girl of only 13 years, was chosen from among the students to make up the little group of singers who were in Negro history in Negro history, immortalizing the only American music in the world. It is not generally known that the word Jubilee, which in always applied to Negro folk music, was used by Fisk university of singers, sort out by Fisk university of '71, and returning later with $15,000, with which Jubilee hall at Flask was built. These singers delighted not only their hearers in this country, but crossed to the other side of the country, and smiles from the crowned heads of Europe. Too much cannot be said nor too much honor given to one who has been instrumental in bringing about the possibility of that which we still claim as the greatest achievement of the Negro, Higher Education. Since the disbanding of those first singers and the going forth of another and younger set Mrs. Crump has not been idle, but has always been helpful, in her work. She was always a place to place the uplift of her people. Many of the Tennesseeans were not aware that they had this prize in their midst, but as soon as it was known the reception was over, she took place on her return from Flask university, implementing the inauguration of the new president, Fayette Avery McKenzie. Many friends met to do honor to Mrs. Crump. The following musical and literary program of high order was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Crump, a solo music, Mrs. Nettle Mottion; dialect reading, Mrs. C. R. Lewis; vocal solo, Mrs. Annette White; vocal solo, Mr. Hugh Buchanan; remarks, Mr. Evans, who responded to an aide, Mrs. M. E. Crump, who told her of her traveling and of her first visit to Nashville as Fisk university's guest. Mrs. Addle Cooper Swan and her two charming daughters proved themselves charming hostesses. The Tennesseeans is an organized band of people from the northwest, where they live, cage, who have banded themselves together for mutual good and helpfulness to all Tennesseeans. We meet at No. 12 East 3rd place, at the residence of President James G. Jones, the second and third from Monson in Indiana. We Invite all Tennesseeans to meet us, Mrs. K. J. Bills, secretary; Mr. G.

Kills Owner of Lunch Counter— Searches House 'After Crime and Finds Old Rusty Pistol- Says He Thought Man Had Gun. Dallas, Tex., Dec. 17.—John Johnson, who for the past year and a half had borne the name of Dallas's most respected citi- zens and who was attacked by a lunch counter, was shot to death Dec. 8 in cold-blooded murder by Policeman Foster. John Fay (white), near whose saloon Johnson had operated his lunch room, said: "I regarded Johnson as what we know as a good man. He was hard attended to business and I never saw him with a gun. He usually left at about 7:30 or $, after closing his lunch room." The corner where the man was murdered is well lighted by an arc lamp, although the streets are dark a few yards from the corner. Foster has been a victim of the police, and recently he was put on steady. White on Floyd street he spied a man coming down the street, passing along unconcerned. Seeing that he wasn't white, Foster was taken into custody and Johnson had his hands in his overcrowd "Throw up your hands!" shouted Foster, and as Johnson went to obey the command the southern officer fired five shots of which took effect. The wounded man was taken to his house and dropped dead on the floor. The officer ran down the street, relocked his revolver and returned.

Moton was born in 1867 in Amelia county, Virginia, and spent his early years at "Pleasant Shade," known as the Vaughan plantation, in Prince Edward county, Virginia. There he made his first voyage to the Caribbean and copied the young white man's language, walk and dress. As a worker in the mansion house he had a great deal of leeward and was encouraged to learn. In October of 1885 Robert R. Motton entered Hampton Institute. When asked if he was afraid of hard work he answered "no." He was assigned to the lab for the first year he for he had labored all his life. He was assigned to the sawmill, where he learned to fire the huge boilers and to run a co-engineer under the direction of an ex-confederate officer who was as strict as he was kind. During his work year he was constantly learning by doing. It was a period of intense study of people, new duties, different races, new standards, new ideas, new ideals. When I entered Hampton, "says Major Motton," I was asked to what I should do when I should have The Man of the Hour [Name] MAJOR R. R. MOTON. completed the course, as the time went on I was more involved in helping to legal profession. Most of my legal advisers against it, however—that is, they raised the question whether I thought I could render my people the greatest position in my legal advice was the greatest need of an ignorant, struggling people. "General Armstrong thought I could be of great help to people by remaining at tampum and teaching teachers. The result was that at the close of the school in June, 1890, I accepted the position of drillmaster and the commandant of the school cadets." Before his graduation from Hampton in 1890 Major Moton spent one year as teacher at the dumberland county, Virginia, where he taught drill and the girls to take gymnastics; where he taught his people to love and appreciate the plantation songs, and taught the older children and parents how to make life more worth while. Promptness, alertness, self-control, endurance, respect for authority, initiative, good will, and gifts to this useful and safe race leader. In recent years Major Moton has used numerous of southern states with Dr. Boehner's support to dressed thousands of white and colored people on the value of working together in the spirit of mutual helpfulness for the movement of community and race conditions. Leader of Me There are today some $35,000 Virginia Negroes being helped in the fundamentals of life—health, education, agricultural work—by the Negro Organization Society, which Major Moton has been president ever since its founding three years ago. The movement among colored people for better schools, better homes, better health, better education, and an irresistible appeal to all the people of Virginia," said Major Moton recently. Religious, benevolent, secret and educational organizations of every character have joined in their support of white people, including the officials of the Virginia boards of health, education, and of charities and correction, have been involved in their support. "The state-wise support for clean premises, clean homes and clean lives has received help and support that were little dreamed of. The two races have been on the ground on the ground of common needs of white people given white people a chance which they have long desired—a chance to help the Negro without compromise or embarrassment, and have met us more than half way." Major Moton has been an able interpreter of black men to white men. He has succeeded in showing his own people the value of working together for the better, and efficient service, whether in the kitchen, on the farm, in the shop, in the school room, or in the public," he declared, "the Negro can and must maintain the spirit of co-operation and good work exists generally throughout the South." Tribute to Hampton Institute. A few years ago Major Moton wrote for the "World's Work" a sketch of his life: "A Negro Uphill Climb"—in which a Negro Uphill Climb paragraphs: "It is a great privilege to be in the work of the institution that has done so much for me and my people. A more earnest, competent, devoted corps of workers cannot be found than the men women, mostly of the Anglo-Saxon races, who are working at Hampton Institute. "I do not think of them merely as teachers of ignorant Negro and Indian women as patriotic citizens striving to lift them, to grasp the instruction given in trains, to teach children demic studies, in religion and morals in order to go out and help in an unselfish way their less fortunate brothers, who truly believe that unless modern civilization is taught according to Christianity an eternal mockery, all worthy elements of our population, even these black human creatures, will be permitted to share equally in all the fruits up to the standards and requirements of this civilization." Major Moton has caught the spirit of Armstrong, Frissell and Washington. He has been known how to live clean, useful, Christian living. "General Armstrong struck the keynote," he says, "when nearly fifty years ago he founded Hampton Institute—an institution which, while it was in no consequence of the abolition of what is sometimes called higher education, put emphasis upon the importance and value of such a moral and industrial training as would lend to character and competency. These are the elements which no people whether white, black or red, can maintain themselves among civilized people. Railroad Rumblings find in the work that is being done by the thousands of young men and women, black and red, who have gone out from the South and over the South and West. Their farms, their homes, their schools, their churches, their lives and their characters are liveliest and most far-reaching sense. The demand of this age and hour is not so much what a man knows, but what he sees. "The blackest negro in Alabama, Mississippi, or Africa, who puts the same heart and amount of skill and energy into his labor as his labor as the white Anglo-Saxon. The forces of nature—wind, wave, heat, steam, and electricity—are blind forces and see no race distinction and draw no color." Dr. W. D. Weatherford describes clearly the attitude of the most thoughtful Southerners toward Major Moton and his heart more than one Southerner says Major Moton was the sanest and strongest representative of the Negro race that they had ever met. Others have said to them that they were not black, or black, that they have ever heard, and yet he does not claim to be a speaker at all. He has a clear head, a noble heart, and a many bearing which at once conceived a sense of worth white and is not afraid to give. Major Moton holds a most delicate position at Hanpton. In the school community there are pure Negroes, multilingual, Southern white people—all working for the same great cause—the elevation of the race. It is no easy matter to harmonize all these types, and yet so much does and so true is his judgment that each one must have husastic support. Washington has said of him: "It has been through contact with men like Major Moton that I have received a kind of education no hooks for. I have been taught to Hampton just to know Major Moton. If more of our Southern white people could see him, so calm, so unostentations, so unpressuring, and yet so efficient and thorough they would never say again that North Carolina could not produce a pure-blood leader."

Louisville, Ky., Dec. 17.—Recently a young boy, 23 years old, Ellis Buckner, was mobbed in Henderson, Ky. He was accused of robbing a white woman of her muff containing a pocket book. This woman had little or no resistance on the part of the jailer and marched through the streets at 2 a.m. and hanged to a tree on the river side. No effort on the part of the authorities has been made to apprehend the jailers are being sent from all over the state asking the Governor to offer a reward. Kentuckians and all persons who are interested in the welfare of the race are urged to send letters appealing to the Governor to ask for the capture of these cowards. Address your letters to the Governor at Frankfort, Ky. Do this at once and send a card to Lee L. Brown, 1006 West Chestnut St., Louisville, telling the date of the attack. You are asked to send a letter to the Mayor Henderson asking that the city will offer a reward. Let these letters pour in from every nook and corner of the U. S. Remember the Frank case how protest activists were able to force the mayor to U. S. This boy is known personally to the writer; he was raised in one of the leading families of Henderson. On the night that he was mobbed his wife lay in a bed with four old baby. Let every public spirit be recessed of what state you live in send at once a letter to Kentucky's Governor. This outrage occurred in the home of Governor Stanley. This test will show how the police were inaugurated, is a man for justice and right or a leader of mob law.

GOLDENBERG CON-TRADICTS STORY Claims That He Stood by Widow and Gave Her Ample Time to Pay—Has Been Charitable to Race Clubs Company's Books. Once to the Public. Amy's Books Open to the Public. Amy's books are furniture removed by the Goldenberg Furniture Company for a debt which she owed. Mrs. Shields presented her case to the reporter of the Defender and it looked like she had failed to give her a square deal. Now Mr. Goldenberg comes along with his side of the story. Mrs. Shields bought the furniture in May, 1912, amounting to $240. Two years later, September, there was still a debt of $40. The company lost track of the widow for nearly a year. Finding her, they helped her catch her at home. Then the writ. During the loss of Mrs. Shields' husband the birth of the boy he claimed that he had given her payments, and that the company's books for the public to inspect them in this or any case. The case did not come to light as the legal aid society asked him to file the complaint about the city and has always inclined to be replaced, letting the balance be paid at a dollar a week. Mr. Goldenberg has from time to time given her the furniture to the Lincoln jubilee, and shows thanks from the president, Mrs. Hudson. Mr. Goldenberg also says: "Our purus have always been open to charitable appeals, and we are proud to have we have letters from the Georgia Colore Industrial Home, Orphans' Home, Quinn Chapel, Lincoln-Lee Institute, Phyllis Training School, and the Illinois Industry Training School." The "Birth of a Nation" Dead in Chicago Under Laws of the Municipality til It Was Resurrected Th an Injunction Issued by Hon Judge Cooper, the Actin Judge. JUNE 5TH JUDICIAL ELECTION. Citizens Who Do Not Vote Against This Man are Traitors to the Cause of Human Liberty. Race Men Who Do Not Work for His Defeat Deserve the Fetters of Slavery. In the early spring the citizens of Chicago were treated to the rarest, most desolate of modern years. Chicago, the cosmopolitan, the broad, big, giant reaching out to all people in the true spirit, unified, unilluminated and disgraced by those who sought to uphold her honor and dignity, surrendering under the cloud of shame she struggles today before the highest court in the state in an effort to vindicate her honor. A tragedy! The city is restraining restrained order issued by the Judicial Fennimore Cooper enjoining the Judicial Mayor Thompson and other duty authorized agents of the people from enforcing the law. "The birth of a Nation" was denounced by the official censor, not by law-abiding and patricial citizens, who was refused permission to exhibit by loyal and public spirited Mayor. At a midnight hour when the people thought themselves secure from the prejudiced breeding vulture, they were not tolerated, and been in sinfully reposed in the wrong. The rejoicing turned to woe and grief. The King of Hell ruled from his throne the proud spirit of a struggling man to feel the keenest sin in his life, but the victory shall not long live. The reckoning is nigh. On June the 5 there will be judicial election and Cooper will and must pay the pence a breach of trust to the voters. Cooper will be forced to protect us, and is a servant ple, and not their master. Taxpayers tenorize.

Citizens ignored by Officers of the Law; Protest Against Pictures Unheeded; They Invite Violence Who Refuse to Enterce Law. --- Mason City, Iowa, Dec. 17. — Persons interested in the Cellell theater and the picture films that he has seen in an unexpected setback Wednesday. Heels 1-4-5-8-11-12 were taken from the operator's booth with trunks containing them carried into the theater, after they were some unknown person. Bennie Johnson, a former booster, is being detained pending investigation. We have appealed to the authorities to help identify the payers and citizens, protecting against the slander of this picture which labels a large and progressive body of citizens. The attempt to destroy the vicious lies portrayed by it, is a natural impasse, and there is not a LAWABID CITY CITY who will not condone the act of this unknown HERO, WHO MAY FACE THE PHONELINE CELL IN DEPENDING JUSTICE. If it is LAWFUL, FOR YOU TO TELL IT IS LAWFUL, FOR YOU TO TELL A LIE AND INJURE ANOTHER, IT IS LAWFUL, FOR THAT OTHER PERSON COMMIT VIOLENCE AGAINST Our protest against the "Birth of a Nation" is well founded in law and fact. Any purity amusement tension to injure the public milieu is sufficiently within the scope of state prohibition by the statutes of the United States, and we are well known for its enmity towards the race, but justice is delayed because of the greed for wealth. We are slaves today and our master is a slave. We are in a crime against civilization for money. The burning of those pictures has a significant meaning. Patrioticism endures and what point is reached the pen up forces restrained will spend itself. We are only human, and our nerve forces are as refused as are those of others; the humiliation heaped upon us by a heartless money class, no abstention from a merciless scandal, no abstention from the brine on the storm. The Civil war followed the matchless resolve of the heroic John Brown, who upon the nanguagely scaffold, paid to liberty its noblest tribute. WEAKNESS OF MAN HOOD DENOUNCED Since Historians Began to Write the World's History the Most Servile, Cringing, Wincing, Hated, Despised Coward Known to Mankind Is the Human Type That Will Not Die in Defense of His Home. BRUTALITY THRIVING. There Would Not Be a Single Lynching In the South nor a Woman Wronged If the Corpuscles of Our Blood Contained the Iron Face of Race Pride That Strikes Death to a Foe. Muskogee, Okla, Dec. 17.—The decision of County Judge Leahy in the case of Luther Manual, a minor of 11 years, by receiver, against the Carter Oil Company to rescind a contract between it and Luther Manual, is wonderful for its resistance against the Carter Oil estate of a deplessant minor. To ordinary hymn it would read, Notice is herey served upon the members of the Corpuscles, to prevent them by white men rightfully or wrongly. If you have any money it belongs to them. A legal sense this case is one of chancery, not the oldest offences at common law and prohibited by every state in the Union. Carter Company must give the estate of Luther Manual and its wife to the oil, instead of one-sight cash on basis of market value, for oil delivered to it, the sum of $4500 is decree in "for legislation of attorneys." Because of rescission of contract, the oil product of *Luther Manual* is open or in use, and the oil industry is ableness of this fact is apparent to every business man in the country. The value of oil is large, and large institutions are capable of maximum benefits while smaller ones operate under the opposition. The estate gains from the development of the deal, the fruits of its production where the values of the most wealthy fees of the sea are the most densely filled of the sea, hundred dollars more is chargeable against the estate and four thousand hundred against a foreign corporation. BY FRANK A. YOUNG THE THE WILEY-BISHOP FOOTBALL GAME Referee Refuses to Penalize Offending Team, So Wiley's Captain Leads Men off Field--Makes Statement. Marshall, Texas, Dec. 17.—To the Public: Due to the fact that there have regarded the Wiley-Bishop games, to make the following statement: Wiley won the toss and chose the south goal. The Wiley-Bishop goal was in danger. During the second quarter I made several protests against the decisions of the referee. At the end of the game the ball was trapped a forward pass, which was intercepted, and Bishop was downed on her 40-yard line. The referee had blown his ball and tried a forward pass, which was intercepted, and Bishop was downed on her 40-yard line. The referee had blown his ball and tried a forward pass, which was intercepted, and Bishop was downed on her 40-yard line. I again protested the decision. Fifteen yards should have been added to the ball, and in addition, to this the ball was lost on a fumble, a Wiley man recovering it, but was given to Bishop. Wiley again rejected the decision, and the fumble he headed. On account of these violations of the rules the Wiley team was led off field with twenty minutes left to play. S. H. Scribner, captain of the Wiley eleven. KNOXVILLE'S PROSPECTS GOOD FOR NEXT SEASON Brightest They Have Known for Many Years. Knoxville, College completed one of the most successful years in football that she has known for some time. The 1915 warriors took their first game in their goalcrossed. This is an enviable record, due to the hays being whipped into form, due to the efficient work of Knoxville. Knoxville has only three games and has the same number of victories to her credit. They are: K C, 6; Austin high, 0; K C, 1; we see, they ended a very successful year, and the only regret is that they did not have more games on the schedule, which to match a mold winning team for 1915. K C. will be in the running next year for the southern championship, and books the team will win. Fisk. The watchword on the "Hill" is "Down with Fisk." Before have you seen the team, he means to get off next fall and not in the lead at the start. When the call is sounded for players there will be young scouts. POLITICS OUSTED FROM KENTUCKY SCHOOLS Dellegation from Louisville Lends Impetus to Movement. Normal Institute to Be Put on Same Basis of Efficiency as Other State institution. By E. O. Coleman. Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 11.-A big delegation from Louisville arrived in the city today to give impetus to the campaign, which will be the state, and urge the Kentucky legislature that is to convene next month, to hold the State's executive office, instruct officials, and them were Hon. Thomas W. Vinson, president of the Kentucky Educational Association, to number of members the Louisville County commissioners from all parts of the State of Kentucky will co-operate with this delegation and prepare a paper for the legislature. "Normal Institute May 'Come In For Its Share Next.'" The Kentucky Educational Association, Inc., has issued a new bulletin of the proceedings, together with the adjoining Kentucky Educational Association, April, past. The bulletin is well gotten up, and goes on record endorsing State Superintendent Hamlett's efforts to endure from all our schools the requirement to specifically mention the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, and approves of the fight that has been made against the lack of efficiency with the two similar institutions in our State. The Association and resolutions" attempting to "endure" Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute." Likewise, Frankfort's most recent "scatteringly arranged and unhistorically present management of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, when it 'failed' its students, and got the 'committee' to help them run the institution." "Bill Pending In Legislature." "Bill Pending in Legislature." There is pending in the State Legislature the bill to establish the Board of Trustees of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, in different counties in the State. There is bill pending in the State serving the support of every member than this one, says recent issue of the Kentucky State Journal. One one bill that should stand on its merits. At present these Trustees are all residents of Franklin County, and to this extent they should be attributed the poor management of that institution. And since the school is a state institution and not a local school, the people of Frankfort insist that the trustees remain as they are. Why should the school be managed the school than the whole State of Kentucky can manage it? Let the whole state try; it seems that Frankfort has twenty-five per cent of the people in any county outside of Frankfort County favor the present law governing the appointment of representatives of the people put the management of this school in the hands of all the people and much of the "misfeasance" of the school under the bar of serious criticism" will be averted. Let the people rule.

JURY RETURNS OLD VER- DICT. "Came to Death by Hands Unknown"—Farce and Disgrace to the American People—South America Now Fighting to Keep These North Americans Out of Their Country on Account of Their Lynching Habit—Will the U. S. Suffer for Its Sins Like Belgium? Day of Reckoning Must Come. Columbus, Miss., Dec. 17—Thursday a week ago cordella Stevenson was found early in the morning hanging to a lumbain, she had been hung Wednesday night after a mob had hung her caball, taken from her home and then after they had maligned her. The body was found about fifty yards north of the mobile home and thousands of passersate that came in and out of this city last Thursday morning were horrified at the sight. She was hung therefrom the night before she was found. She had her home, snatched her from slumber, dragged her through the streets without a trace, and race men nor from the law. They carried her in a far-off spot. did their dirt cover her? No. No, she was a southern cuprilits dit. No low below the Mason and Dixon line that would cause them to fear. No officer in the police department was there. No duty. No man in the government circles in Washington that has enough backbone force. This the most know, the United States. This the most know, they went on with their glamour well. The Burning Barn. Retribution to Come It was the same old verdict that all southern juries return in the cases of this kind. The United States is sending the jury to teach the heathen. Ford has gone to the court, and party, ministers preach on the good to humanity, but here in the south the same distantly crimes are committed, and the jury is asked to raise his voice against such a crime. The jury is a member of the race. Yet when Lee Frank was murdered the whole country "attarred" that such a hilarious crime is committed in this country in this day and this. Yes, it occurred, white citizens (2), and retribution comes to all. Belgium robbed the ivory and rubber of their ivory and rubber and forged labors of these well-menning people. If their work was not up to that the Belgians thought it should be an arm was up to that. Now Belgium is suffering. The day reckoning has come. So will it be with this country. As they soil, so shall they face discrimination and lynchings are trying their hardest to do South and the Latin countries are only going to allow them in under certain conditions, face discrimination and lynchings, people there brand of Americans lynchers, and it will be hard for the Americans to convince them otherwise.

Leach of the Chicago Daily News picked an all-star prep school education to put to pot Tom Sylvan on the second Cook county eleven and Honor Lewis on the second to first all-Chicago. Speaking of the reasons for choosing boys for these teams, Mr. Leach says: "What Counted in Selections. "I named these players for honorary football, irrespective of weight or age, school location or also, was the prime consideration. "Honesty, on the field of play and off-clearness in tactics and a consideration of the things back of clean athletics in the schools were criterions for selection. In the character of training in life is gained in prep school, and so his character is given more plastic and seismic correct ideals in his sport in his inter-scholastic life and he will carry them into business and professions."

Don't trust the editor when you change your postoffice address. He can't knock of you and you will escape paying the last two or three years of subscription. Don't forget to write on both sides of the paper.riters might forget how to swear. Don't write your communications. Deiphering them keeps the editor busy and he is able to make an aludder, which promotes good feeling all around. Don't imagine the newspaper has anything to do. Newspapers run themselves and runs feed the printers. If course, we approve the fact that subscribers to the Defender don't write, but enjoy reading them because they make the rm. However, in passing we might add: Don't forget to the above don'ts. DEFYING THE GOVERNOR.

CONSISTENCY THOU ART A JEWEL, said someone a little wiser in the way of the world than the rest of us. A handful of property owners living in Oak Cliff, a section of Dallas, Texas, want the city to compel owners of what they term "Negro shackets" to turn the tenants out, leave the places to white tenants and CONNECT THEM WITH SEWERS. The petitioners say property in the district affected is very valuable, and the presence of the Negro houses unconnected with sewers creates a nuisance and endangers the health of the community. Whether inconsistency is the right term to use or whether one should lay aside own personality and refer to these petitioners as downright tools is a question that has no discussion, because we admit that sensible people would not place themselves in a rudiculous position. Strange it never occurred to these wise men that people sanitary conditions would be improved if the sewers were put in for the sake of the present tenants. A white face may look a little cleaner than a black one, but it doesn't follow that it is. In only late years has the attention of the south been directed toward the housing conditions of the colored people. It has never dawned on them that they were in any way responsible for the epidemics of contagious diseases that has periodically visited this section of the country. It has not been deemed necessary for the health officers to require the same precautions to stamp out disease in these lowly sections as in the sections less limited. We germ breeding. The poor classes of both white and black are compelled to live under the most unfavorable circumstances in low, marshy lands and in hovels that a respectable pig would object to, and yet these landlords demand a fair rent, the poor fortunate driven as they are to the last ditch must accept their terms or go homeless. They demand the pound of flesh which they get with added interest and that interest comes in the form of disease, which is carried from these filthy and germ breeding places into the homes of these very aristocrats who employ these poor creatures in their kitchens, laundries, as maids, nurse girls and in other mental capacities. They forget that it is of parapont importance if they would conserve their own health, to see that their servants live under the most sanitary conditions. And it is the sollen duty of every good citizen to see to it that the civile body that has to do with the sanitation of the city pay especial attention to the sections familiarly known as the slums. JACK JOHNSON is proving the natural kinship which exists between the United States and Great Britain. In London he is making speeches from his motor car in the interests of recruiting and his most recent appeal converted nine Englishmen to patriotism and self-protection, which all goes to show that latent loyalty invariably responds to intelligent appeal. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? WE HEAR SO MUCH about the shiftlessness of a happy-go-lucky sort of people, that we live for the morrow take care of itself.

The Christmas of today is far different than the Christmas the fathers and mothers knew when they were young. Santa Claus have to be a millionaire in order to please recipients of gifts in those days. Inexpensive toys, a bag of mixed candy, a pair of red top boots, a rag doll and the like was enough to gladden the heart of any boy or girl.

Never was the saying "To him that hath more shall be given" more truly exemplified than in our modern Christmas giving. It is a custom to shower gifts upon those already generously blessed with this world's goods, while the poor, sick, needy and aged often are deprived of even the necessities of life. Usually New Year's is the day set apart for making new resolutions; but why not anticipate that date, and on Christmas, instead of giving to those who have, give to those who have not, and by so doing not only make their heart shaken, but realize yourself—perhaps for the first time—the true spirit of Christmas giving.

Dr. Joseph C. Bloodgood has an article in the Public Health Journal of the State Board of Health, Michigan on the above named title. The article of Dr. Bloodgood is so simple and clear that it is easy to pretense that I am taking the liberty to copy or quote the fortunate article in the importance of our readers. The importance of our readers one can deny. Cancer ranks fourth in the causes of death among men or women at the most responsible period of their lives. In the year 1913 in the registered population the number of death annuaries was 100,000. Difference of opinion as to the disease or diseases that are the most frequent of death annuaries is immense. We interest clearly in those which are preventable and which are the cause of death in large numbers. It will agree as to cancer being one of them. Those who know the facts about cancer are of the opinion that if the public learns about cancer, the annual mortality should be reduced at least one-half, and perhaps two-thirds. If the few can be educated, the research investigation of the Surgical Pathological Laboratory of the John Hopkins Hospital has had tremendous influence on the practice of the life it is unnecessary to care for by presenting the grusome, hopeless, agonizing side of cancer. This stage of cancer is characterized by a crisis, or precrastination, because of an entirely needless fear of an operation. The message to be given to every one is that the early stages of cancer fear of the beginnings of cancer to lead him to seek advice and proper treatment in that early stage of the disease because of the probability of a cure is often 10 per cent. whitman and family race.
