Movie Man Refused to Cut Four Scene As Ordered By Denver Officials and Lands in Court—Citizens Protest Undesirable Film.
Claims Movie Manager Violates Law As
Claims Manager—Will Strongly
Oppose Any Move the Film Company
May Offer—Is Backed
Up by the Council.
Denver, Colo., Dec. 21.—The 18th of
Nation, which was scheduled to have
easy time here in showing their dis-
fecible film which the people of both
seemed to be upon the city of伪
adolescents, two and that it would
dating the city in two and that it would
use untold relations, found that
jay had run into a hornets' nest here,
the max cannon just week when the
angler had taken out the police, Chief
buddid releasing the film after he had given
bonds to appear in court. Mazur was
on direct order of commissioner
Nabat which he declared not only objectionable, but against the law, to be cut
out the play.
Vitals Play; Causas Arrest.
Mr. Nabat visited the play himself
adult and found out the murder
of the whore and deliberately
released his orders he caused his arrest,
arrested the murder because the play
not been cut out. I directed. I had
not been cut out. They violated the low as I see it in the
interactions. However, the manager told me
he would take the films and remove the
objectible scenes," said Mr. Nabat,
and bought a couch, which the will not
cut the scenes. But then cut them he refuses to show in
Denver. The picture was shown afterwards
by an order from judge Dennison of
the company, who issued an order restraining the film from interfering
with the program.
In commenting on the order the judge said that there was nothing before the court that prevented the Commissioner of Safety, Mr. Nisbet, from acting directly against the manager nor the owners the plan, if the Commissioner regarded law as being violated. The court inquired to Act. When the case came in court the attorney will be present to defend a action of the Council, which ordered at the film he suppressed, and that commissioner Nisbet carry out the order. The Birth of a Nation was ordered pressed by the City Council
pressed by the City Council of afternoon session in which mhlers of the race had appeared recounted the film as being untruthful a person said. Many white people said that they believed that it sold up race feeling. George Q. Richmond, acting City Attorney in the absence of Mr. Marah, should have held the appearance in court today to show the appeal that the city, "We shall present a persistent, attentious defiance," said Mr. Richmond. First, we will hold the picture vistors the ordinance which prevents the presession of the film to induce evidence to show race hoted, and second, we will hold it is the province of the City Council and the Commissioner of Safety both have full power to suppress immoral plays. This film comes to evidence to show the evidence had been presented to them to convince the picture, even as it was proposed to be exposed by Mr. Nishet, would still be objectionable and end up being approved it, allowing it to run without elimination on Sunday night.
The attorneys for the film people, in making their argument to the court yesterday asking the restraining order, to take their own down in many other cities for long-term slots. The producers gave $2,000 bond to the art when the injunction was issued, and the producers gave $10,000 bond to a permanent injunction the matter is freely up to the City Council and that is the duty of Commissioner Nisbet is on the council directs or upon is on substantive as the police officer the city.

SATURDAY
BISHOP WALTERS
SEES PRESIDENT WILSON
Confers with White Democrats in Effort to Stem Tide of Seceding Race Democrats—Effort Convenes Too Late—People Cannot Forget.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 21—Still loyal to the "hot cause," Bishop Walters of the METHODIST church was seen here last week when he came to visit the President and the prominent white Democrats of the METHODIST church was kept a keeper of records and deeds in order that the recession of race Democrats may be stopped. White Walters has urged at all times the appointment of our people to be the president, he has no precedent in having Dr. Walters appointed. Now, those who went solid for Wilson in the election of the President will never forget the treatment that the race has received in Washington as a president, for he worked side by side with other employees, nor the present attitude of the southern Senators who, instead of seeking to prepare the nation against attacks of a white supremacist, worked Jim Crow laws for the District. No matter who is appointed now, it will only be done as a bait, and the people are tired of having a woolen cap pulled down over their eyes. Another thing that the president has done is to white southerners and northerners commented on the death of the great Booker T. Washington, while the President sat mum. What we want to know is, if the nerve to ask anyone to come out and vote for the low-down Democrats."

Life Termer Given Liberty After Serving Twenty-three Years for a Crime Which He Claims He Never Committed.
Oklahoma City, Dec. 21—Gov. Williams signed the parole papers of Eugene Williams, who was given a life sentence twenty-three years ago for the death of a brakenman. The conviction was on purely circumstantial evidence. The parole was signed only after Williams had been sentenced to live with his parents in Dallas, Texas. He has been in the McAllister pententiary longer than any other prisoner. A year ago a prominent white attorney of Texas interceded for Williams, but Gov. Griswold toiled to get him off. The parole was effective, the on it.

Because Race Men Are Recognized the Beggars of Crumbs That Fall from the Rich Man's Hand Co on Strike—Race Prejudice Decomes Unbeatable.
Cincinnati, G., Dec. 21—The officers of the Ohio National Guard were treated to a marty, aggravating, humiliating insult at their annual dinner at the Sinton hotel a Cw evening ago. Included with the state organization there are several officers.

BARNETT CLAIMS THAT COURT ERRED
Asks for New Trial of Campbell on Ground That State Did Not Find the Accused Guilty of Murder—Claims State Could Not Prove Mrs. Allen Was Murdered.
REINIARD'S TESTIMONY
DENIED
Admittance to Records—Will County Citizens Are with Campbell, Claiming That He Has Not Recovered Fair Treatment and That He Was Tried by News reporters Who Were Prejudiced—State Woman Who Refused to Have Body Exhumed.
Joilet, Hl. II, 21.—Attorney Frederick L. Barnett attached the verdict that con-
tended to death on Monday when he made a new trial in Judge Hooper's courtroom.
Barnett offered eight clear reasons why a new trial should be granted the former houseman of the Allen family when Ed-
dition of the state penitentiary, 1:39 Morrow, 1:39 Morrow, Judge, who had come all the way from Watson, opened the court to hear the arguments for and against a new trial. Campbell came into court wearing his
worry, but was interested in the out-come. He wore a new suit and looked much better than the day the jury found him guilty. Lawyer Barnett talked for
two hours, and it was then that State Attorney Robert Barnett moved his motion.
Cities Scores of Errors.
Attorney Barnett burned his motion for a new trial on the following points:
1. Court erred in admitting improper evidence.
2. Court erred in refusing to admit proper evidence.
3. Court erred in refusing to 50 strikes out improper evidence.
4. Court erred in refusing to give certain instructions.
5. Court erred in refusing to instruct jury to re-
fuse a verdict finding the defendant not guilty.
6. Evidence does not sustain the verdict.
(a) No corpus delicti no fracture proved. (b) No criminal assault. (c) No analysis of secretion made. (d) No setup of setting on fire. (e) No evidence against defendant. (f) No exclusion of persons on fourth and fifth floors. (g) No admission of money or suggestion to the court. (h) No loss of money or suggestion to the court. (i) No finger prints. (j) Failure of proof in denial. (k) Action of conscious innocence.
**Scouts Assault EVIDENCE.**
The lawyer paid particular attention in his argument to the evidence tending to prove a criminal assault. Barnett attached the testimony of Dr. Clendon in this connection and argued that the evidence was sufficient to prove Peter Reinhard, Chileng doctor, to deny facts charged by the convict doctor.
The citizens of Will county are anxious to see a new trial, and some of the evidence presented in the trial should be held somewhere else besides Jollet, owing to the power Allen had, although it is a fact that his power as far as politics is gone, but there is no doubt that he was still due. They say that, no matter how low a man is, no how low or friendless, that he is never too far gone to fail to receive justice from the people of Will county.
One editor says: "It will be news to most of our readers that Joe Campbell has had two trials and the Allen murder charge. In the first trial the judgement - not prosecutor - noted as a judgement of guilty. In the first trial an alleged detective went to Jollet, conducted an alleged investigation and then wrote a series of articles for the Chicago Herald which went to prove as clear as mud that Campbell was guilty. There is not a question of doubt that the articles in question were deliberately planned to prejudice the public against Campbell."
"What we want to know is who instigated the underhand work? Our leading (or misleading) county paper played up big whatever evidence that was damaging to Campbell and minimized that which was in his favor. Who is responsible for the effort to prejudice the people?"
"If the state had a good case against Campbell, why should it be necessary to resort to prejudice?" The state revealed its weakness when it would not allow the body of Mrs. Allen to be examined. Campbell wasn't afraid of the examination. Why should the state be?"
"If the interest of justice, we would like to see a trial in another county, under a change of venue. Allen's power as a politician is probably past, but there may be debts of gratitude due him yet from Copley's paper and from other sources."
Judge Hooper will announce his decision in January.

DRIVE MINERS
OUT OF TOWN
White Man Writes That Miners Were Peaceful and Law Abiding, But Hoodlums Shoot at Them—Refuse to Allow Them in Town After Dark.
Whittick, Tenn., Dec. 21,—(Special by White Subterranean.)—The miners who have been employed at the coal mines a few miles from here came in fast Saturation as they drew their pay, after which they spared the miners among the merchants and were about to deputat for the mines near where they live, when a crowd of white hoodlums guns at the miners' heads and joined guns in the miners' heads and never to be caught in this vicinity after dark. Several miners became frightened and ran towards a general merchandise store, where they usually trade, but the stairs the miners they were met by a fuselade of bullets.
This is one of the worst outrages that Whittick has suffered recently. James Brown and his new overcrowd cut in the miners' heads. It is the same as the miners have been coming in every Saturday and are a peaceful lot. They are obliged to walk several miles to reach here, and doesn't hardly give them time to draw the miners' buckles before dark this time of the year.

Thursday at 10 n. m., the sharp report of a recover brought to light facts that are well worth your pondering over. A grave and serious issue is raised, affording purity directly involved, but you and I and every citizen of the United States. This issue runs out of the Federal Constitution known as the right of civil liberty. It guarantees the right of all citizens to be citizens under treaties of foreign governments with the U. S., the right of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. The question of civil liberty, then, is the

Shelbyville Has Race Institution Made Possible by King's Daughters of Bath Races—Graduate Nurse in Charge.
Shelbyville, Ky., Dec. 21.—The new hospital for the race was dedicated Sunday to an unappropriate exercise at St. John's M. E. Hospital speaker was Editor Roscoe Simmons of the Louisville News. This hospital had its beginning in 1913, when the race of the King's daughters purchased the Creamery Co. on Teeth Street for $2,000. Then the white circle of the King's Daughters took charge of the remodeling, which has now been completed at the building in a thousand dollars. The building is at a twenty-fourth floor, with two private rooms, two wards, an operating room, sterilizing room, baths, office, superintendent's room, dining room, kitchen, etc. It will accommodate 100 people. It will be made so that it can take place of more in case of emergency. A graduate nurse from Hullbush's hospital in Nashville has been engaged to take care of the building. The building is heated and lighted by electricity. Furniture will be installed and it formally opened the Monday following Chai times. Much credit is to Mrs. Gee-Saffill and Mrs. Marine Saffill, the secretary of the King's Daughters, who preloaded the land and gave the start.
MRS. LESLIE A DECENDANT OF SLAVERY
Heirs at Law of Publisher's Widow Make the Charge—Have Had Detectives Looking Up Evidence—Big Money the Issue—Contest Held in Secret, But News Leaks Out.
LESLIE'S WIFE JUST THE
SAME.
It Doesn't Matter If She Was Blue by Law, She is Entitled to His Money and, As She Left It to Her Son, Then It's—Supposed to De From New Orleans.
New York, Dec. 24—The fact that the news has leaked out that the salt brought to set aside the will of the late Mrs. Frank Leslie, widow of the milieu that it is claimed that she has blood in her veine has created much surprise here. The fact was not known, as the case has been held in secret before Judge Fowler, but when William Cromwell and Louis H. Cromer filed an incrimination of the will let the cut out of the bag.
Claim Mother a Slave.
The contention is that Mrs. Leslie's mother was a slave. Her father, it is also claimed, was a rich Southern plumer. These claims result from the investigation carried out by the detectives hired by Mr. Westcott, who has been employed by the grandson, who is the dark heir. The accounting refers to a payment of $1,950 to the Scholder National Detective Agency for services in connection with the investigation of the family history of Mrs. Leslie. Another Wren for a trip to Charleston, S. A. Wren for a trip to Charleston, S. A. for the same services.
History Hard to Find
The executors have learned that Mrs. Leslie was 78 years old and that she was born in New Orleans. As to the other facts the executors say that Mrs. Leslie was 78 years old and that she was getting the suit to set aside the bill to $1,800,000 which Mrs. Leslie left to suffrage, the executors said; "The general nature of the claim is that Mrs. Leslie was 78 years old and that she left no heirs at law or next to kin on the part of her mother." According to the money should go to them, as the deceased got the money from her husband. What difference does it make whether she was white, brown or blue? She is a white woman, brown or blue, as she has passed to the Great Beyond, it belongs to her son and to those whom she saw fit to give it to. When she was married to the publisher he was satisfied, and when she never complained, but now she has gone, some loop-hole which they think some weak-knee judge will sustain him is brought up. Law and justice knows no color only in these United States.

the problem of the problem of
that man usually disappears from
in the world is a problem,
as has been a phenomenal one.
The problem of the endings of the
men is to have the problem of
the
institute at heart, and we must hope
that the best man available will be so
selected for such a significant task to
be accepted to the worker. Washington
has been made to be a matter that Dr. Washington
is to have a new character and
history very unique in his character and
people. He was the individuality. Like
Milton Hough, he was an individualistic
centриator. As Mr. Nowman says, great
men appear in groups and in groups they
seen to disappear from the shifting
society of the world. He was to
love or into men in groups. We speak
of Guttenberg and his conductors of
Washington and his generals, of Lin

on the brow of the Father of His Country
the chapter of the green requiem
the great part of the great requiem—but first and above all of the
a pedestal of heights sublime and August
contour, belocked with ever-blooming
resuscitants, the world place the monument
of the world. The most important
of the world is the man who is the man
of the man who is the man of the noblest
citizens of the world. Let the race
realize the sorrow imposed upon it by
the death of the most沈阳er. In the
most sentimental, the temperamental
shoulder, the nustere once overwhelmed by sorrow and grief rever
his memory with millions of others, irre-
spective of the quality of life.
I think the race must be a moment in
its hour of keen bereavement and realize
that it can and consolation upon the
life of the man who is the man
is gotten from Dr. Washington's life in all
other things to the best type of men and women of the race to bring about
the advent of great characters into public
life. The most important is the whole
whose achievements may favorably compare with those of the greats
of the greats. Let the race with
the same way as the world of the
ington and dress in its future with the
beauty of his life, so that for ages to
come the race may feel the influence of
his identity and realize that he was a
great gift of the modernist country

contribution to the affairs of mankind.

A Philadelphia police investigator was called on to decide the ownership of a dollar bill which was found in the street by a negro and claimed to have been lost by a white man. After hearing the story of each claimant the court said: "I believe the dollar belonged to the white man, but since the negro found it he is entitled to a reward. I therefore decree that each take fifty cents and call it a day's work."

A Self Explanatory Letter. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) (Grundig, Okko, Dec. 17, 1914. To the Editor.)
My Dear Sir: First upon behalf of a broad humanity, unharmed by racial injustice and the fetter of blood desecration, and the fetter of blood desecration, you upon the line service you are not only rendering to the race you are not advised to be identified with, also, whether you have calculated it or not, are nominated, "white race" in this country.
In the thought of the late Mr. Washington, a great and good man, no inexperienced perpetrated upon one class of citizens, perpetrated upon one class of citizens, zone of the earth they struggle and have their being, when permitted to go unrelied, unregreted, by the other man, the Christian age, but that, as sure as the sun will shine tomorrow, will sooner or later demand a hearing, cry out for justice upon the thoughtless and gully ones, whether they be nations or individuals. I am a white man—in soul I hope as I am a white man of my skin—and argue as I will, that I am the declared, high and unselfish aim of my country, relative to its occupancy, intentions toward the black republic of India, and to the certain crime, a NATIONAL, MISDEMEANOR, calculated to work a harm to the people of that land and in the end with disgrace the land in which I live.
My attention was first directed to The Chicago Dofender—an nigger paper," so shook of at the time by who once encamped in the city, and meeting held in one of Kansas City's (Mo.) leading churches, at which time the attitude of the United States towards niggers was present, as proving the view of the important people of this country towards it. I read an editorial from your columns, and wrote a English and other thought; and believing the intention to be HIGHLY and SOUND, and that you should strike and spare not; the column to summer away at the nation's mansion; and the column to turn up full of its motives and actions in connection with the unfortunate people in question, I am sending you a copy in this city, and I will send it to Dec. 14, published in this city, which contains a letter sent by a young man doing service under the Stars and Stripes of the United States, to his father, a resident of this city.
You know it is said that fools and children always tell the truth, hence if the perusal of the young man's letter affects your readers as it did me, it may amount to an added incentive to keep an open eye on this Italian matter, to demand, in the name of justice and honor, that this great government, yours and mine, and the others, proceed with upright clearness in the game it is playing in the territory of a neighboring republic: MAKE NO MISTAKES; TELL, NO LIES; COMMIT NO DEBD'S THAT SOME TIME THIS WORLD'S JUDGMENT WILL ASK AN ACCOUNTING FOR.
Please find enclosed P. O. for $1.50 for which send me The Defender for the coming year, using the address furnished you on the blue slip accompanying this note.

"My dear lad, Well, I have been here for the last three weeks and so have been unable to answer my questions. We have been having a pretty hard time of it this time, but there was less of a extent, I suppose, you would like to hear about it, so I will tell you. The idea when we went a here this time was to go into the mountains. AND FIX THE CACOS—HATTANS—FOR ONCE. AND FOR ALL. We went out and from the time we got into their country they were simply constantly. There never was an organized attack and the only really pitched battles were at their feet, and when we did come to one of these NEVER A ONE OF THEM GOT AWAY."
They always had their fots on top of a hill and we would surround it and advance AND THOSE WHO WERE LEFT WHEN WE GOT INSIDE WERE BAY-ONETED, BUT THEY ALWAYS PIED FIGHTING. EVEN WHEN THEY WOULD BE WOUNDED AND DOWN WHEN WE CAME CLOSE THEY WOULD EASY UP AND FIRE AT US, AND THERE WERE VERY FEW OF THEM WHO WERE PICKED UP WOUNDED. It is something of a miracle that no more of our men were killed or wounded, but altogether there have been only four killed and about fifteen wounded. I do not see how they could miss us the way they did, but they seem to
“ATO/BETHER WE HAVE KILLED—THAT IS, WE HAVE PICKED UP AND BURNED—OVER 360 DEAD. THE LUT DAY WE KILLED 92, including their commander-in-chief at Port Revere. I guess we would have swept the country off our chubanifag after a baffing train from the fifth commandment, so you can see yourself what that means. Sherman was right when he said, 'War is hell.' Of course this is not war, but it has been a fair sample. BUT I HAVE SEEN THINGS DONE WHICH I WILL NEVER TELL TO ANYONE AND HAVE HAD TO DO THINGS WHICH I SILL NEVER TELL, RECOSE THEY ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID."
For cool imperfections nonchalance and machavellian hardhood this young whelp's letter is a poser.
With him the burning of THREE HUNDRED DEAD AND DYING MEN was a mere incident, a pastime of a moment, to be stolen of in his letter to "Dear Dad," with no more shame and reluctance than he would have used in telling of the killing and burning of the same number of rats.
But not one word against the boy; not one word. Figs are not gathered from thistles, roses from slunk woods, nor are streams in the habit of rising above their source.
Regardless of the representations of the government at Washington to the committee in Haiti is a CHIME, meaning MIRIER, DEVASTATION and RUTN; and unless checked, halted, by the indignant voice of the president, the permanent conscience, scouring uses the armed forces, hold-up act, the career of Haiti will have its course, reached its journey's end.
In the face of this impending catastrophe—and as sure as God reels in glory, IT IS IMPENDING. It would seem that the president, out of place, a movement unlikely to credit, if the colored people of the large cities of the nation, should meet in mass assemblages, by speech, vote, head off this premeditated and cut and dried crime; THIS STEALING OF A CITY. It would NOT be in of place, and mightly to its credit, if Chicago should break the ice, take the lead in such a place, and much to their credit, if, and sentive colored men and women, should in the near future, wait upon the Dion Homeland, with a response that the Real Estate, the REAL aims and intentions of this country in regard to the kind of Fonsaint LOUIS of NONE of these actions would be out of place—NOT ONE OF THEM!

Bunter, S. C., Dec. 25.—There are two very grave problems with which Afro-American problems are hardened, and one race problem is more serious, white Americans are mainly concerned. The first of the Afro-American problems is how, in his unnatural environment, he learns to live and to link his living links in the natural chain of oughts, with which the God of an applied his ancestry to develop the life of his self-serving, self-preserving, and self-fending, black men, which were devised by the institution of slavery in the 18th century, white self-admiring, white self-serving, white-scroring, and white self-decriminal, self-serving and curious and problem is the capture up the spirits, or sensing, which by the prismically developed this adult, with dissonious thoughts, about changing such connec- tance, of his two problems claim the problem consideration, it is entitled until we pause to consider the character, is the direct of the thought-impressions,
/
Which makes it appear that unless you tell it which means are devised and stressed to him, he will never be able to solve his problems. The perplexing problem, as to how to help him, is a desire to define and, to continue him in a defined environment, and the same time, which the Afro-American presents to the white American with the same problems, is the thought-imperfaced by the thought-imperfaced by the native environment, is a very little problem, which he presents to himself. 'The problems, which the Afro-America presents both to his white neighbor and to his native environment, is a gentleman that the former can hardly do his problem without solving those problems, and will govern such sensualities will produce a desirable citizen in the Afro-America, for the same time solve the problems of his problem in self-governing principles in his offspring, and of changing improper self-principles already developed in his adult.
White the problem of how to develop his to a desirable citizen, which the American is very grave, when compared with those which he presents to himself how to develop, or how to develop, self-education, which in his native environment, it whiles into aliquot instillenciae, cessent in his thought, to serve his problems the indulge in some thought-impressions, which induced them. The white American decries undesirable citizenship, while still possession of the plan of life supplied in succession to the principle of giving an income a pattern by which to cut a cut, and then to denounce him when following the pattern.
the ancestry of the white American give the ancestry of the Afro-American the plan of life by which he is producing his ancestry and develop his ancestry and kill him following the only pattern with which he has been supplied without supplying him with another. In possession of an environment to develop the self-gotting principles of free men, by which he can see defects in the Afro-American, which he cannot see in himself by which he can develop white masters, can much more easily solve his problem of supplying him with the thought-impressions to develop deprivation of training and of training which he supple the Afro-American, than he can supply himself with thought required to develop deprivation in his also-made en
Again as the white Americist is already accious of the objectionab defects in his body, he should diligently begin at once to remove them; it as he is unconscious of him he can even learn to help illnest; and eschews the use of his body properly to him as their posites do
his white neighbor.

Value of Old Coins.
In the public mind a coin more than 50 years old is hoary with age and so rares as to be almost priceless, but a silver dollar of 1755 is actually worth no more than 2 $ to dealers, and then only if it is in an excellent state of preservation, for a great many of them were colined. A half dollar of 1803 is worth as much as 15 cents more than its face value, but collectors and dealers find that there are so no profit in circulation that there is no profit in selling and selling them. In fact, a押金 of a hundred United States dollars of different denominations and dates, no two alike, but all more than 100 years old, which would be worth to a dealer not over $10 shave their face value.

AMERICA'S TREATY WITH HAITIANS A FARCE
AMERICA'S TREATY WITH HAITIANS A FARCE
(Continued from December 11.)
Three times America has perished in conflict with us on diplomatic grounds. The threat which stands out clear and precise concerning these three conferences — the United States, the United Nations, Governments, is the control of our custom-houses and thanages by an American government, the control of our military and naval forces in the States for the suppression of our insurrections from periodical and hegemonic persecution, perpetual Cabinet at Port-au-Prince found itself disposed to negotiate. Think a little: the threat of a guarantee against the attempts and dancers created by the "coercive" question of a guarantee against the attempts and dancers created by the "coercive" question of control of the custom-houses finances which in this case was the standing block. We have seen how the United States has tried to render a counter to the susceptible natives. The counter plan was not accepted; the Fulfillment of the contract was sent away without a word.
Empty Promises.
America, it seems to me, had its best benefit this occurrence and besides it knew well that Littles flanked by their cows always put themselves to put itself to the exasperation of oblivious
We have not taken any steps against this political and military situation, though without doubt, that there exist high highish high enough and thick enough to guarantee us from all harm and to permit us to continue our false conception of patience and self-control. Government and seized the first opportunity we formed them to occupy our homelands. We are face to face with a military occupation. The American assure us of a peace and a stable St. Marc, and however we do not doubt that they will make as much out of it as possible. "If they are to touch to which we have arrived after a century of disorder, We are in the presence of a material fact against which neither customary declarations or clever calculations can avail. If neither customary declarations nor combinations cannot do anything.
Duty Forenist.
We must give up our little personal interests and force ourselves to go out from this dead lock. The watchword of the which will be that of tomorrow is to engage in a frank conference with the which will be that of tomorrow is to engage in a frank conference with the which will be that of tomorrow is to save ourselves from the shipwreck. In spite of all appearances, I have no reason nor will I be fused to fuse and will leave our honor which they have no reason nor which it will not be to rescue ourselves for injury. but to rescue ourselves for injury without damage to our prestige. It is a great and patriotic task which rests on our faith which will teach us to oust our duty henceforth under penalty of deposition,—La Patricia.
Race Prejudice Mutual.
I do not believe it is possible to dispel the prejudice of the Halltions against the Americans by a more intolerable American's prejudice against the negroes.
As long as this prelude will last, we will not need not he astonished that we should have distrustful, we do not believe the American friendship, because we know what the race is. When they would establish themselves here, we would have some inferior causes or hatred, produced by his choice, and fail to produce between two people so essentially different and ill-dressed one nation States has really of "all the people of the white race who had contributed to the war," to Mrs. Becker Stowe, the wife of an American pastor, we are indebted for the magnificent plan for the abolition of slavery. It is an American Cabin. It is an American, John Brown, who gave his life for the franchisement of slavery. Secession and other causes, it was fought also for the emancipation of the slaves. And still we disliked the Americans to an extent that we are reproached for it.
Distrustful.
In order to capture us, they gave charity to our poor, and send provisions to our cities devastated by a cyclone, and to our troops devastated by a cyclone, and them but still distrust them. Could no many seeds of love would not produce only hatred? Why? Should Haiti be allowed to be devastated by a cyclone, said, gratitude is one virtue of our race, we must seek other causes for our prejudice. That it is true has contributed much to the uplift of our race, but they have regretted it. After having given them their liberty, they have become frightened by the greatness of their enemies, and they have imagined to crush the negroes under the prejudice of color, what has been done. Color An Excuse. In no position did the black race more oppressed than in the United States. " Their color alone is the sole cause for their degradation, oppression and equation, wrote Ellas Rengault in August 1971. " The black race barrier in order to prevent them from advancing in industry, commerce, politics and the army. They have hannished them and deprived them of the rights quoted by the whites. The American Negro has the worst humiliations that a free man in a free country could ever have. They never applied with more ferocity than when it is a case of a negro, which they

refuse to seek if he is guilty or innocent. We know also, that as often as they can, the American massacre our brothers; the American bomber our republic of Liberty has been commended for, and backing back these troublesome blacks to their original country, that they have been killed in the war, and that battles in order to cast a certain quantity of our people there. We know also that the prejudice of the Americans and our compatriots, and that our compatriots on route to the United States are subjected to indignities of all kinds. We have seen the Americans our shores as masters and not constructors, and that our streets did not run with Hatten blood. Their aid which should have been diplomatic and pacific, the taken the fate of the American occupants. They have disarmed us, and have taken possession of our principal cities and are advancing toward the country. If they have been killed in the war, their brother, to prevent us from killing each other, that service rendered, they would have been a victim of our gratitude; having suffered an aid not asked by the Hattenes, we must say that they have a singular method of seeking our friendship and that we should not do not extend to them our gratitude.
Americans Insufficient.
We have proved our ability to govern the country that our fathers have bequeathed to us. We needed the aid of a strange nation, friend, who without encroaching on our national sovereignty, would remove from our way all obstacles and would guide us in our struggles toward advancement. Can the United States fill this role toward us? People early born, formed of emigrants of all countries, yet in a state of "civilization transito" between the old world and the world to come," said Jules Labaume. The American nation is incapable of filling the role of protectorate to us. Let us consider the people they are protecting, without going very far. We have our neighbors, the Dominicans. Since the American Intervention, has their financial situation improved? Has the civil war ceased? No. The Americans are ineffluent either to reorganize the administration or to stifle the revolutions. Perhaps one or two centuries from now, with the co-operation of the American people, we will see the Dominican Republic evolve to the prestige of an European nation, but up to the present time, where is the progress?
Not Worth the Price
If to initiate us, we must have like Porto Rico, a colonial form of government; if for this aid we must give that which is most dear to man, his liberty coalfield; and if for this issue, I am like the fool in the fable: "I would have a treasure at this price."
Halt! Betrayed.
The United States has violated the independence of a sister nation. Without any excuse whatsoever, they have made a conspicuous mistake in the sponsible dictator of Haiti. Anarchy in Haiti is not worse than anarchy in the United States. Anarchy is as bad as the present condition in Europe. Murder and lynching in Port-au-Prince and in Georgia. Haiti can and will follow its destiny and is more civilized today than the eastern part of Texas. These are the reasons for the firing on, and disarming of peaceful Haitian citizens, the "sure of unimpaired unity." A plague attempt will eliminate St. Nicholas Plateau, unifying the claims of an American company which holds a fraudulent railway. Shame on Amercian! Dut what are the ten million American Negroes going to do for us? Can they not at least do the same? Can they not at least protest; demand a concrete and honest statement as to the American intention in Haiti; and further demand the formation of a men's organization of men of both races to find an amenable solution of this problem. Write now and copy of this letter to Eagle of the American.
Reasonable Advance
There is a young author in Baltimore who is determined to achieve fame in the writing line if it takes his whole life. Accordingly, he is even willing to defray the cost of putting on the market the numerous novels he writes from year to year.
On the occasion of his last visit to his publisher, however, he was somehow forced to rather unusual thing for him. "Why," asked he, "do you charge me more this time than before?" "Woll," said the publisher, with the utmost frankness, "the compositors were constantly falling asleep over your last novel."—Harper's Magazine.
Watch Your Manner
As a rule courtesy receives courtesy. Many times a rudeness which we resent was called out by something out of the way in our own conduct. A child will very often speak impertimely to one who addresses him roughly, while courtesy he instinctively answers in kind. The girl who is actually encountering rudeness, had better make a study of her own man.
Where Bluff Wouldn't Work
"Dahl!" aneced the blustery man "Bluff is the thing. A man can bluff his way through life." "But," said the conservative, "if you couldn't swim and fell in, you couldn't bluff the river for a second."—Livingston Lance.

HORSES THAT WERE JUMPER
Some Really Remarkable Feats or Record That Are Without Doubt Authentic.
What distance and what height of a horse jump is a curious inquiry. The reader will certainly measure on 39 feet, an idea of the horse's capacity in this direction will be guttured remarks the London Times. Such a distance a steeplechase horse called Old Chandler is reported to have covered at Warwick some years ago, and there is more than one apparently an authentic record of a horse clearing seven feet in height.
The scene of one such exploit was at the Phoenix park and the horse was an animal descended from a famous winner named Potosus, himself called Turnip. The animal baligned to Sir E. Crouton, and the duke of Richmond, then tord heutement at Ireland, wagered 5000 that seven feet in height could not be cleared. A wall of the requisite dimensions was built, and Turnip was ridden at it. He did what was asked of him in perfect style, but it happened that his grace, not knowing that the feat was ready for performance, was not looking when the jump was made, but Turnip was therefore ridden over it again, not only successfully but easily.
The wall of hylfie parn, opposite Grovenor place, six and half feet on the inside, with a drop of eight feet on the road beyond, was also been cleared.
No. No.

He Long, known to all the boys as a-Hearted Charlie," graduated into hero role last Thursday while stroll along Madison street, in front of the flame building. Mrs. Kirstine Carter-Smith of New York, who is stopping at Jo Blackstone, slipped and was about to hit the sidewalk, when our hero was right there and caught her before anyone else could. He was listed her to a place of safety and then quietly went his way after she had thanked him a "thousand times." Charlie got his quickness when he attended school in Indianapolis, he being a crack tennis player.
Christmas Giving
By Ford S. Black
By Ford S. Black.
It has always seemed to me that our Christmas giving was a sort of descen-tion of the true spirit of giving. One can hear people in every walk of life discussing coming Christmas gifts. Some are asking themselves, "What shall I buy to surprise my friends?" I wonder what they will give me?" Others are saying, "I hope I don't receive many presents this year, I am not able to return them!" A mother is saying to the children, "Santa has written he will not visit us this year; we are too poor!" There are all vanities and vexations of the true spirit of giving, because they make not for peace and happiness.
The Christmas spirit is essentially the spirit of gift-making, for Christmas Day is the celebration of the greatest gift to humanity. But do not give useless gifts to needless people; rather give useful gifts to needly people.
The true spirit of giving has love of its bare. Not like the spurious, passionate longitudes of separated sweethearts, but like the deeper sympathy for all humanity, greater love than this hath no num. He taught me to be a teacher of a deeper sympathy for all humanity. So said he whose birthday we celebrate. elsewhere in the Scriptures He said, 'lend, having to receive nothing in reverence, told the great Jesther-zehulz illusor that he taught teacher finds himself in financial straits and sacks aid of a friend. On his return home he fell in with a peasant who was a teacher of the Scriptures, away with his usual good feelings, he gave the peasant all the money he had borrowed and run off to escape his captivity. He instigated the deep spirit of self-sacrifice.
So don't all your gifts be gift ones
from the store, or from the
museum, even those white phils from Law
and Justice.
"Not what I was saying, but what we share
For the gift without the gift is bare
Who gives himself with his gift feels
three-
Himself, his hungry neighbor and me."

Dear Sir, Was very much interested

es so far long will be a thing of the past,
and that removing the slums in cities,

army and musquee and never sounded.
In India, where caste has ruled for thousands of years, caste is being broken down, and religions are being united under the religion of one God and one people. In India caste has been supported by the religious sects of the Zarqaishans, Mahamandam, Buddists, Jews and Christians of the various sects. These are being gathered together on the principle of one God and one people. In the present war there is all chases, all races, all religions, that are all joining into one army without distinction.
In this country, where there are all races represented but the religions are not so divided as in India, let there be a united race press and a portion of the better class of the white press, and the race hatred can be broken down in a year by good educational articles that would be for one God and one people.
This country is the country that is destined to bring about a universal peace. And that has to be done before many months have passed. But before it can be done the country must have a united people. Then it can go before the world powers and sue for a universal peace with a united people to back it in.
Quotations follow from the Holy Book. If there were lived up to would there be any race distinctions?
Extracts From the Holy Books
Have the religions of mankind not everywhere ground? Is there not everywhere the same currupturing beauty bearing in their hearts the holiness of hidden places? Broad indeed is the nature of their spread and beautiful the color of their house, and the presence of one lamp in this house. There is not another wherever I look, a bright assembly meek. O God! whatever road I take to Perseus Scriptures. What doth the Lord require of me, his justice, and to love money, and to work with his God—Hebrew Scriptures. Whenever death the will of my Father rests on me, the same is my brother, and my God with my Sayings of Jesus. Wherefore does that God is no responder of persons; but in every nation he that reverence Him and works righteousness is accepted with Him—Saying of the Catholic-minded man regards all religions as unbodying the same truths; he is bounded in mindedness only their beneficent muse Apotheosis. All flowers of many species, but all worship is one systems of Faith are different, but God is one—Iman Apotheism. He is who belongs of God honors every faith of religious faith—Biblical Scriptures. God is by nature the Father of all men; he calls his sons—Greek Scriptures.
Amid all the conflict of opinions there rounds through all the world one consenting law and idea—that there is one God, the Ruler and Father of all... I do not blame the variety of representations, only let men understand there is but One Divine Nature; let them love One, and keep One ever in their thoughts.—Roman Scriptures.
If thou art a Mussulman, go stay with the Franks; if thou art a Christian, mix with the Jews; if thou art a Shub, mix with the Schismates. Whatever is thy religion, associate with men of opposite perfections. If thou canst mix with them freely and art not the least uncered whilst listening to their discourse, thou hast attained peace, and art a master of creation.—Arabian Scriptures.
To Him who on these plains has risen and secured away to the throne of the Highest, all religions are alike; Christmas, Moslems, Guebers, Jews, ... all above Him in their several way and form,—Person Apothegm.

LABOR AGENT
HOUNDED JOHNSON
(Continued from page 1.)
trol labor and capital. A man's union card today is of more value to him than his debts and assets. The decision of a union leader equal importance with a court ruling.
The effect of this arbitrary power has been the legal institution right under the Federal Constitution. Between 1821 and 1909 there were 223 cities where then those were without being misleading. Chicago has been in the center of this warfare from 1812 to 1821 and in 1831 to the carpenters' strike of this year gradually the citizens' right of liberty has been taken up.
The New Sovereign.
Under this new sovereignty, Unionism, the hands of Capital are tied and the freedom of the Negro is nummed. The hands of Capital are tied and the freedom of the Negro is nummed. You say to the 12,000,000 members of our race: You shall not have the same opportunity to earn bread for your family as you have the same opportunity to earn bread for your family. You shall not run your business except as we agree that you shall operate. You don't want migrants or the principal industries is the transportation monopoly. These companies are completely controlled by the wishes of the union. You don't want the union to do not give them, they have the wiphb in their hands. "If you do not give a strike at this moment on the Chicago Belt Line, Members of the race cannot be employed as a trumpeter, because the union's power of affair is to be found in every important industry in the United States for the reason that they are all unorganized."
We have said that the killing of Alex rakes the estate and we believe you will agree with us from the foregoing. Then it is a fact that aside from the first fundamental violation of Civil Liberty by the unions, we find a more grave offense to be charged to it; neither has been implied by the Influences that follow its control. Had Solomon Johnson been left in the freedom of his right as is guaranteed to him by the Constitution and laws of this state there would not have been a hailing in self-defense; there would not have been the motive that inspired Alex to threaten and attempt to do great bodily harm to Johnson.
Brital tactics and methods employed and used unhypothetically against the peace and dignity of American citizens and particularly members of the race, are partially told in the following:
Record of Crime.
Alex was under forty-six infidelments in the Criminal Court on charges of conspiracy, extortion and vandalism. State's Attorney Hayne's assistants had prepared the evidence to be presented to the December Grand Jury on which they expected to obtain many more infeldtments against Alex, charging slugging, vandalism and conspiracy.
The feud between Johnson and Alex began with Alex's rise to the position of business agent in the union eight years ago. Johnson and his two brothers were refused the right to work, although they had cards in a union in Atlanta, Ga., and later, cards in the union in Gary, Ind. When the fathers strike came on last spring the three Johnson brothers, Robert, Paul E. and David A. Johnson, went to work as strikebreakers, with the understanding that any settlement of the strike would provide membership in the union for them.
David Johnson Shot.
March 13 Alex and two other men drove up in an automobile to a new neighborhood. A wid Johnson was working on the scaffolding and a car. Core big man must help, but the driver
M.
"Heat it out of here, you cheap states, or you still be crooked," the warning Alex drove half a block ahead and waited. Soon a man's hand was inserted into Alex's chest downway and three stools were in need. David Johnson tell of the scaffold that got through his right leg and that he was in a position to describe the accident was of a man about 30 years old, smooth shaven, and overcast. This description answers that of one of the sluggers indicted with Alex's behalf in the jury. Affidavits of Contractors. Contractors in their sown statements to State's Attorney Hayne, on which the defendants were bound, declared that Alex was the most disturbing influence in the Chicago hoot box. Both statements declare that he caused more trouble, was less dependable and did more to prevent peace in the city. Another individual in the building trades.
They declared that his written agreements were not observed, much less his business dealings. He blamed the continuance last spring of the labor tribunals which completely tied up the building industry for months, and the lack of work, they declared, Alex by speeches promises and tales of new plants induced them to stay out until one organization was able to put in plfa on Alex, practically was disrupted.
Bribery Used.
It was through the statement by E. C. Walker that the Midway Gardens did not have ability to open its gates without $500,000 in trouble, as described by Mr. Walker, was used.
"Pipe" coverers were culling pipe work this work had been given the pipe coverers' permission to go to his men. Everything was tied up. Simon O'Donnell, president of the Building Department, the men back, but Alex covered. We were hurrying up work, so when Alex denounced triumphs I asked him how much it was worth to me. It was worth to me. I got my partner, Occur J. Friedman, to a a friend of Alex, and I understood there next day the men were back at work."
In the evidence which is to be presented, there is an understanding there me the statements of builders that a certain new moving company, Madison street near Le Salle, paid $1,000 of which Alex was a member; that a new theater on State street did likewise, the building of the American Federation of Labor in San Francisco was paid for partly out of a demand against the Triangle Film Company and the Studer-Theater.
During an arbitration proceeding last summer a member of the lathers' union asked Judge, who asked about Alex's activistities:
"The reason we keep him is this: He'll give us a chance to keep out of Jul. He'll do something others out of our Jobs which would cause anyone else to opt out of it he'll just hold by himself, without us. We ignore we can get more out of a follow like him in the job." "Guy?" Why Evade the Judge?
The aforementioned facts need no argument to draw your attention to their

We cannot evade this issue, and it is up to you, Mr. Voter and citizen; there must be some action compelling obedience to our laws by those who think themselves better than the law or above its observance. We might as well start now as any other time to make this a free country. If the citizens of the city, state and the nation are going to be blow-beaten, covered and murdered, because they wish to enjoy the freedom which is rightfully theirs to enjoy under a federation of states and a Constitution, we might just as well tear up that Constitution, or to the effect of the law, to the effect of the rule, so struggling to enthrall us. "Step" may be the penalty of your wrong." There is no use condoning this spirit that says to us we cannot earn bread as other men earn theirs, because of a difference of the texture of the skin. Why a police department and a gang or bulles and thugs free upon our highways, doing all that they can to keep honest men from trying to earn an honest living for those of whom were demands that they shall protect? Under what law is it unlawful for a man to employ another whom he should desire to be in his service? Why is it that there are no race men employed upon our street cars as operators of the street cars? And why is it that they are or there is a train in the property at 3600 Calumet Avenue. With the trainmen receive? There is only one answer—Unliminism! Alex had nothing to do with this building and in a legal sense he was a treasurer the moment that he placed his foot upon the property at 3600 Calumet Avenue.
Social, Economic Loss.
The ascension of Unionism has been essentially the decline of our economic growth. We are not included in the growing industries of our day except as consumers of their products, while we are taxed equally with all other races in pro rata; yet, the benefit growing from expansion and wealth on their part is an economic loss to us. Look at the ratio. I race men who are employed by the railroad industries are paid from $25 to $60 per month for their labor and white men from $55 to $1,500 per month. For the white youth there is upprechelim and opportunity of every kind, for the youth of our race there is slavery. Some people say that we ought to have a trade. We ask the question: How does the white boy learn a trade? How many of the engineers running trains out of Chicago have learned their trade in a school of mechanics? How many other tradesmen in the city have learned their trades in schools? Unionism says that we cannot enter these fields of labor, that we are unfit, and cannot as boys in its power, we small not enjoy the rich fruits of our modern civilization.
Organize Laylessness
It was under this spirit that Solomon Johnson defended his life against a condition, a sentiment, and an organization that he was a part of. In Chicago and elsewhere there are thousands and hundreds of thousands who are in danger of being raped by the race who are in danger of being raped by the reason that they are trying to earn bread for their families. In the Chicago area, the race known as the Full Crow bill, albeit directly to eliminate the porter. If such a coming bread would have been taken from the months of many honest tober of the race and nothing given in return, the race would have been taken of this giant conglomerate which Solomon Johnson's case brings to hear and preparing to every vole of the shoots ahead.
Social Decline.
Government by Unionsm means, or that part of Unionsm of which we have seen the most, is mental slavery, and degradation to the race, unnecessary and insignificant laws, inferiority and Jiu Crowlism, restraint upon Civil Liberty.
We cannot like with these great barriers against us. There is something to do besides talk. It may be you tomorrow who is felled by this drunken brute of power, as it is he who holds you in a vise-like grip, compelling you to labor under unfair conditions and for inferior wages. If you are offered a job as a tradesman he threatens your life with violence. These conditions in the industrial world have reached a crisis; we are either free men or else we are slaves. If we are free men we will denounce the attitude of this tyrant and compel obedience to our laws. How can we be hindered by allowing men to work who have the spirit, the desire and the knowledge? Investment becomes uncertain under this reign of poverty and in the end chronic amethion must result.
The Birth Night of a King
By Irene B. Hudlin

Fearly on that ecocentric night elicited herself in a pinned of pure white snow, to hide her and definite unseen power to hide her and definite unseen power to be parity, or way throughout the earth, backed the crisef of mutins, the amusements of men, and the哭es of little children.

This universal music was a banal to him who was the Sun of God; he who was the Moon of God; he who might be saved, to live and glorify himself. He knew that "the angels, Eternal and the heavens."
LINCOLN JUBILEE
ALBUM ON MARKET
Great sights recent at the Lincoln Jubilee Exposition at the Coliseum last summer have been compiled in a beautiful edition exquisitely bound in an extra quality of leatherette. This volume contains two grand fene views of the north and south. Birdseye views of the grand exposition which was a pride of the race. Among the views are Mr. McCoy, inventor of lubricating oil cups; Mr. Baker, the friction heater inventor; a wooden locomotive carved with a pen knife; an electric clock which plays a tune each hour; the Lovejoy printing press; chairs from the box at Ford's theater occupied by Abraham Lincoln the night of the assassination; the tables at which General Lee signed his surrender to General Grant; various fraternal societies and exhibits. It is a 48-page book and is compiled by J. H. Ballard, 3411 State street, who was the official photographer at the Lincoln Exposition.

The question at issue is a vital one, because it determines who the people? How long will intelligent people be humiliated by a polémics, beheaded, stupid, deceiving, cowardly up to the point of falling the up fallen crumbs from a rich man's pince. How long are we as a body politic? How long are we as a body politician with power to grant license to all industrial institutions, going to grant those life-saving and unlawfully and unlawfully commit real trespass upon our rights as grantors and the same, and we pay no heed to the same.

Sillion of drillmaster and assistant to the commandant of the school cadets. Shortly, afterward he became commandant, the position he will vacate to go to Tuskegee. His office, however, had grown with him as for several years he had been right hand in the Dr. H. E. Tuskegee who succeeded General Armstrong. He has been a prominent member of the Hampton Jubilee Singers, who recently visited Chilcuro.
For Motion was an intimate friend of the late Dr. Washington. Each respected the other's abilities and both heartily agreed as to the best methods of dealing with the race problem. Dr. Washington granted the National Negro Business League and Macmillan�ouns to the Vegliola, Negro Organization Society of Vegliola, a great force for race harmony and improvement.
The selection of Major Motorบีบสะสะพัด position of principal of Tuskegee was received here with hearty neelம். He is well known in New York and it is freely predicted that he will at once take his place as a leader of his people. Both parties are black, one accord that the deciduous of Tuskegee is now upon one admitably equipped to carry on the work which made Hooker T. Washington the foremost educator in this country. On every hand the committed with the responsibility of making the selection are being contributed upon the wisdom of their choice.
Faculty and Students Sing Praises of
Mates Maru
(Special to The Chicago Defender from a Staff Correspondent.)
Hampton, Va., December 21.—The announcement of the selection by the trustees of the Jesse Moton, commandant of Hampton Institute, as the successor to the late Holder T. Washington was received at the University of Illinois, where a desirable amount of pride. It had been generally forecast here that the commandant would be the probable appointee of the trustees of the helpful influence and guarding land of Major Moton, while redefining that such high honors would be taken at the thought of losing their guides and benevolent helper. Dr. Friess head of Hampton, received the trustees of the Jesse Moton has been long identified with Hampton that it will be most difficult for the students and faculty to become reelected to the head of Tuskegee.
Speaking of the selection of Major Motion to a representative of The Defender by, Felsell, pecked out of Hampton, said: "I am of course proud of the high honor which has come to my most useful assistant." Major Motion. He deserves in the highest respect to his honor to the trustees of "Tuskeese have conferred upon him. Having been identified with Hampton so long and having contributed so much to the upbuilding of this institution, it is but natural that I regret the loss which both faculty and student body sustain by reason of his leaving this institution. Our loss, however, is not only "Tuskeese's gain," but the gain of the "United States." Mr. Motion is a man of great force, splendid ability, and by the training and temperament admirably sifted to enter his new field with assurances of success. I predict for him and Tuskeese renewed success, and do not hesitate to say that the work supply has begun by Dr. Washington will be carried out by Major Motion with marked intelligence and a vigor born of the spirit of Hampton. All Hampton hires in wishing for Major Motion that, which degree of success he so strictly deserves.
Chicagoans Commend New Tuskegee
Head
Communications of the highest character and authority expresses or number the announcement that Major Robert Russo nominee has been selected to supervise the world-famed Tuskegee Institute. The world famed Tuskegee Institute, with whom the Defender's representative talked regarding the appointment, has selected of two that selected Major Motion was Mr. Edgar A. Burnett of Chicago, Coming upon the selection Mr. Runoffor
"We were anxious that the well known polices so ally worked out by the late president, and in making the selection we had that get foremost in mind. We knew of the work and worth of Major Moton, and we knew of the people among his people who could in our juniors so delegated upon to carry those responsibilities, we felt that Major Moton in the highest degree typified all the elements of morality, we felt that Major Moton in the whom the murds of Booker T. Washington could with credit to the school and his race fail. I firmly believe that time will come when Mr. Julius Rosenwald had this to say: "I know Major Moton, although not the trustee, the trustee, they believe that in his appointment they have insured every reasonable gradability of success in carving Washington. They believe he will get along with the southern men, and that there is every belief he will get along with the northern white men, and that there is every president of Truffee should be—the leader of his race in this country. "Major Moton has a powerful and at the same engaging personality. He will be liked." Among leading race men the comment
"I am not personally acquainted with Major Mott." said Assistant Corporal, who knew much of the things he has done, and the straight-forward, mainly way he approached the question of opinion is a wise one, and we need not fear, from all accounts, that he will go on and until it has reached the high-punctuation of an educational institution.
Dr. A. J. Cary and this to say: "I made no mistake in placing the head of Tuskegee Major Moton. He is a man who was a great help to equiped to train and carry on the work so ably begun by the late Dr. George C. Hailt sald: "I know Major Moton well. He was in thorough training and was a great help to work. He was a confluent of Dr. Washington, and perhaps more than any other of the great pilots of industrial education, He will unquestionably make an ideal principal in the great institution founded by Dr. Hailt."

suffering from an Interned Injury and left Chicago for his home in Dallas, where his family was living, with the hope of recovery from his long suffering melody. He purchased a through ticket to Dallas and Fullman reservation. He was informed by the local ticket agent that no interference would come to him as a passenger in the Pullman car. He traveled seriously until he reached the boundary line of the south of Oklahoma. It was well known. Some of the passengers who knew of Harris' presence told the conductor that he must "put the nigger out." The conductor, without any hesitancy dragged him from his birth and forced him to go into the "Jim Crow" car, where he was compelled to ride the rest of the trip into Dallas. When he reached his home young Harris was exhausted from exposure and ill-treatment to which he was subjected at the hands of the train conductor, who, nearing on the behest of the "nigger-hatting" southerners, forced him to the birth for which he had paid and which he had been assured in Chicago would afford him safe conduct to Dallas. Young Harris had been to the conductor, telling him that he was ill, but to his appeal the conductor turned a dent car.
Mr. Harris was formerly a member of the 19th Regiment U. S. Volunteers and lived his country in the Philippines since 1942. He has lived in Chicago since he came back from the Philippines, having received his honorable discharge with receipt of his medal of honor displayed at 22 E. 10th street. His wife and mother are in Dallas, Texas, whether he was journeying in the hope that his long term mission would be fulfilled. The attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission has been called to the case by The Defender, and counsel has been brought against the Commissioner of Mr. Harris for the injury and cuture perpetrated by one of its conductors. The outcome of the investigation will be published in the Chicago Journal.

Henderson, Ks., Dec. 21—An investigation of the lynching of Ella Buckle Hudson; Ella Buckle Hudson was taken from the Henderson jail recently, behind them an automobile and dragged through the Ohio river, where he was lynched. No effort was made on the port of the jail to free Buckle Hudson, and charged was that of snatching a pocket-book and stuff from a white girl. Buckle Hudson and stuff from a white girl who are in a death sentence for a being made to gather funds to help this unfortunate mother and child.
The citizens of Henderson are to be congratulated on account of their action of refusing to trudge with a white menace into their neighborhood. He was asked to swear to an unlawful that he was not a member of the mob. This he refused to do, and the word he sent out in the neighborhood was the fact that all patrolmen of this place must cease at once. Every brave Henderson was sure that the final results were that this white man forced to close his doors last Saturday. It is alleged that another white menace was treated in the same way if it is found that he is suspected of being in the mob.
Appeals Being Made to City and State Officials.
Appels are being made to city and state to offer a reward for the capture of a person who offers the mobly good conduct could work in the city. All citizens who are interested in the case of a person who race another to send at once letters to S. X. Young, Henderson, KY, and to Governor Stimley, KY, urging that he be offered the appels. These letters come from all parts of the United States. We must not let this terrible civilization go unimpeded without a present from the citizens of this country, and we are interested in each other's welfare.
An effort will be made to have enacted an injunction compelling the employer to refrain from making the theft responsible for the molting of any man or animal, and to pay over a certain amount to the widow.

THE PRINCIPLES OF SLAV-
ERY
The Taxpayers of Chicago Are Paying With Their Hard-earned Money Men Who Hate the Race and Violate Our Laws.
Jollet, Ill., Dec. 21.-It is rumored that the treatment of the Negro prisoners at Jollet is a disgrace to the state. There can be no excuse for those in authority to kill them, and the prisoners with equal fairness. The duties of those in charge of these unfortunate people are a sacred trust reposed in them by the citizens of the state and in no way should they be subject to discrimination, in favor of any class.
Prisoners Are Wards.
They are all wards of the state and must be so treated. It is said there is only one race man on the list of trustees at Joliet and he is employed in the town. The man that was formerly given to the inn and bakery is now given to foreigners.
Prejudice In Prison.
We claim the state's protection in prison as we have elsewhere and discrimination there is as vulgar, cruel and galling as if practiced in any other institution. It is wrong, unjust and unreasonable and a reflection upon the high integrity of the state as well as those whom it employs. We are prevented from learning trades there by an understanding with labor unions, it is said. The extent of this whole scheme seems to be a conspiracy and an unlawful one against the race. Ordinarily one would think that, at least the unfortunate prison population would be spied the world's blackest curse, Jim Crovism, but they are not.
Conditions of Chicago Jalts.
We have the Jim Crow fails, and why? All prisoners are equal. The taxation of prisoners is equal to the prison bille. The reason is plain, the men we have employed in this institution care for unfortunate contested prisoners, unfortunate hearts. Some one is to blame for this unrelieved condition of Southern race prejudice and means should be at once taken to justice.
Discrimination Unlawful
If the color line is lawful in prison, it is legal outside of prison. If we are lawfully Jim Crowed in fail the same would be true outside. The parks, theaters, and all public places are subject to the laws of the state. If the case given by men who are paid by the state and city governments for their violation of the statutes of Illinois. Because we are not legally made excuse for their being subject to these conditions that are disgrueful.
WORTHY OF STUDY BY ALL
Lessons Taught in the Book of Ruth Should Find Comprehension In Every Mind.
The Book of Ruth is the greatest paraloid idyl in literature. It is founded on loving kindness, the loving kindness of the Moabitess revealed to her family, and the loving kindness of Boaz, the wealthy Israelite, to Ruth, his kinsman. It also contains the germ of that great-heartedness which is the center of the gospel of Christian love.
It is a book that opens with tears and famine and ends with the sound of wedding bells. The story turns upon the straightforwardness of Boaz, who showed kindness and manliness to Ruth, a member of a nation that was Israel's foe, and in that kindness founded a new house, the house of Jesse and David, the royal line that began a greater than David.
It was first the mingling of the blood of the Jew and Gentile, symbolic of the cosmopolitan width of the Christian religion. It was the sign that that religion was not to be found ed upon wealth, or upon social caste, but upon the large, wholesome love of the human heart. Bonz is immortal among Bible heroes for his kindness, his plain, everyday generosity, his sense of protection and care for the lonely, unprotected Moabitish girl, his dead kinsman's wife, who in her poverty gleaned in his harvest field after the reapers. Bonz gave order to his reapers that they should allow her to glean even among the sheaves of barley, and by his large-heartedness gained a wife, and, more than that, made a place for himself in that immortal company who are renowned for naught but for being kind.—Christian Herald.
Nothing Too Hot.
Chabert, the fire king, who was a popular favorite in London many years ago, claimed to be able to swallow arsenic and other poisons with impunity. Visitors to his entertainment were requested to come provided with phosphorus, prussic acid, arsenic and oxalic acid, which he proceeded to consume before their eyes, taking an antidote afterward which was supposed to neutralize their effects. Then, to show that he was as impervious to heat as to poison, he would take a raw leg of lamb into an oven heated to 220 degrees and remain inside until the joint was cooked, when it was carved and handed around to the audience. The performance concluded by Chabert rubbing a red-hot shovel on his head and face and allowing anyone who wished to drop molten sealing wax on his tongue and hands.

What Made Him Laugh
What made Ruth laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" "I was just thinking of my poverty." "Woll what is there in poverty to make you laugh?" "It just struck me that if you should by chance strike it right some day how many thousands there are who could honestly say they knew me when I didn't have a dollar."—Detroit Free Press.

LEO JOHNSON
SURPRISES THE
BOSTON FIGHT FANS
Beats Condon to a Frazzie—
Takes 'turns' Place and Proves
a Go Card—Cautioned for Stall.
Boston, Muss., Dec. 24.—Leo Johnson
made his first appearance before the fans
of Beantown last Friday and incidentally
he gave the Hub people a few lessons
he might looking. Everyone in a
while a boxing manager comes out with
a statement that he has uncovered a
new find. So a few weeks ago Joe
Woodman let loose a bunch of adjectives
to let us know that Leo Johnson was an
ringing star. He was the ring,
Larry Burns was to have met
Jack Condon, of Brooklyn, but somehow
Burns got sick at the last moment.
Woodman induced the matchmaker to
Leo Johnson out in the place of
Burns and did not make any mistake in so doing.
Better Than Glatmed.
The crities claim that Johnson was even better than Woodman boasted of him being. He is fast, clever, can sidestep, duck, hop, leap in a manner that gets his opponent dizzy trying to follow him. He is quick, and with Johnson is that he is too good for his own benefit. Not many lights of the wilde will want to meet him after they once take a poke at him. Another feature of his character is that he can to tice. He had Condon heat every second of the fray that night and between the rounds seemed to need little if any attention. He doesn't believe in being a frog, but he does believe in the fact that he had Condon going and was miles ahead of him he was remanded by the referee for stalling. Just where he stalled in one but the official said he was not stalling, though he was a hard worker. He hit twice as much as Condon and worked twice as hard, and if he had exerted himself further he would have fallen out of his seat. He was also with Johnny Loafer in Momentum, Carson, Christmas Eve night. Johnson predicts an easy victory, but will take no chances.
With the Esanvists
Of all the displays of art the essay is the most indelible, the most subtle, because it has no scheme, no program.
It does not set out to narrate or to prove; it has no dramatic purpose, no imaginative theme; its essence is a sympathetic self-revelation, just as in talk a man may speak frankly of his own experiences and feelings, and yet avoid any suspicion of egotism, if his confidence are designed to illustrate the thoughts of others rather than to provide a contrast and a self-glorification.
The essayist gives rather than claims; he compares rather than parades. He is led by his interest in others to be interested in himself, and it is as a man rather than as an individual that he takes the stage.
He must be surprised at the discoveries he makes about himself, rather than complacent; he must condone his own discrepancies rather than exult in them.
Amazing Appetites.
If a baby had the appetite of a young potato beetle it would eat 50 to 100 pounds of food every 24 hours If a horse ate as much as a caterpillar, in proportion to its size, it would consume a ton of hay every 24 hours. A caterpillar eats twice its weight of leaves every day; but a potato beetle devours every day at least two times its weight of foliage, every bit of which represents just so much money to the farmer.
The most destructive of all insects, however, is the grasshopper, which, when in good health, consumes in a day ten times its weight of vegetation. No wonder that whole districts the devastated by its multitudinous swarms.—Tit-Bits.
Memories of Insects
Euglenae and practically all microscopic animalcules, even of the most simple nature, have been found to have association of ideas, or, better, associative memory. That is to say by rewards of food and punishment of one sort or another, they learn definite performances. In brief, they associate the act with the consequences. Bedbugs and cockroaches, no less than fleas and plant lice, have been actually trained to obey the whip, Professors Szymanski, Holmes, Bone, Brunдин and Mast are but a few of those zoologists who have studied the "learning process" and behavior of such insects.
Shakespeare's Lens
There is no authority for the opinion that Shakespeare had one of his legs broken in a drunken bravel outside of a sonnet written by Marlowe, himself a brilliant debauchee and notorious bar. Apart from Marlowe's diatribe, there is nothing to show that the great dramatist had a broken or deformed leg.
The Balkans.
The Balkans proper form the boundary between Bulgaria and eastern Romania. The ridge is crossed by some 20 passes, of which Shlpka is the most noted in history. In the war of 1877 it was, the scene of desperate fighting between the Russians and Turks.

The long root of a dock plant as grown through the hole, filling it solidly and extending some distance in the ground beyond.
His Practical Mind.
A certain famous British cathedral, which shall be unlaceless, was visited by two farmers. A clergyman on the same errand waited by them, curious to hear their opinion of it. At length, after looking long and earnestly at its interior space and height, one said to the other: "Man, John, what a fine lot of hay you could put in here!"

LEO PATTERSON
BEATS LOE THOMAS
West Baden, Dec. 24—Leo Patterson, the little fight machine, held up his reputation before the West Baden Athletic Club Disc. 14 by beating Joe Thomas (wht). The fight, wich was to go ten yards, was being stirred up at the beginning of the seventh. Thomas showed qualities of a good fighter but was unable to stand the con; stant boring in of the little demon. The first three rounds saw some classy fighters. The second round Patterson floored Thomas for a count of eight. He also floored Thomas in the fifth and sixth. The white man showed quite a bit of gameness by coming back, and he did not get back until he if he in't been advised by some one in the auuquence to "give it up."
Thomas is one among the fighters who has not drawn the color line, and to show appreciation the fans applauded after each round. It can be well said that the fighter who has boxed at the Springs in recent years. A wealthy man of Chicago offered to take Patterson under his management, with a backlog of $1,000. Young (Creamo) Conn bested Billie Meckle in the six-round preliminary. He ought to make better goals, as there is a bit of rivalry between these boys.

IS GEORGE LITTLE BROKE?
It is rumored about the town that George Little, erstwhile manager of the great and famous heavyweight boxer, John Arthur Johnson, is said to have killed him after Johnson severed his connections with him he was induced to go into the circus business. This lasted about a year and it took all of Little's fortune. He was remembered by all those who saw the former champion in his early days.

Our Christmas festival had its origin in the "Saturalea" of the Romans, Ich was also the heathen festival of the early Britons and as it happened out December 24th, the time when Christ was born, the Christians by a fadal process reworked it over, purging it of many of its heathen elements giving it an ethical tone.

She moved all of her life in the highest social circles and left by her will something like $2,000,000 to the woman suffrage movement. Let us suppose she had been discovered some years ago; instead of soaring like an acrobat she would have draped like a parachute. Such is justice in this land of the free and home of the brave, even when the almighty dollar is in the balance.

There is honor even among thieves and we who are a shade darker than our brother who is "passing" can brush elbows with him daily, and for such sake we are well for the peace of mind of seventy-five per cent of our Americans, especially the Southern States, that their uncle is not traced as was Mr. Leslie's.

Handwriting on the Wall
A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COLORED AND WHITE RACES of the world is as bound to come as night follows day, and it is equally as certain that Japan will be the directing force, or in other words the man behind the gun, when that conflict does take place; already the leading journals in that wide awake little empire are discussing the probability of such a thing and there is little doubt but the government is preparing much as Germany did to meet any crisis that may arise.
"Unless America will consent to ABANDON ITS SOCIAL-PREJUDICES," says the Tokyo Chugai Shogyo, a leading commercial journal, "the necessity may arise for the colored races to force a satisfactory solution. Japan must lead the colored nations to seek intellectual development for the sake of harmonizing the civilizations of the East and West, and must endeavor to avoid a military conflict."
It doesn't take a very wild stretch of imagination to see Ethiopia again stretching forth her hand and coming into her own. If we believe what the Good Book says we must believe this will come to pass, and while the present generation may not be present to witness it, nevertheless the time is close at hand, in the present conflict between the world's greatest powers, the HANDWRITING CAN BE SEEN ON THE WALL.
The problem that Americans have to solve is but a drop in the bucket compared to the one confronting the entire Anglo-Saxon race, who numerically are outnumbered by the darker races more than five to one. How in the face of these startling facts can they have the AUDACITY TO MISTREAT A CLASS OF PEOPLE who in the near future will be in a position TO WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH is a question WE LEAVE TO THEM TO SOLVE.
Education is fast becoming the property of the darker races and when they are fully enlightened woe be unto their oppressors. THE AMERICAN WHITE MAN HAS MUCH TO ACCOUNT for and it would be advisable for him to begin NOW to make preparation, having in mind the thought that it is NEVER TOO LATE TO REPENT.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, and who has declared himself as having too much power? All are seeking wisdom, some go about it in a little more methodical way than do others and by so doing got the best there is out of this old world surprises and delights. It is not an uncommon thing to find men and women grown old and feeble in the pursuit of one special study, some one thing that, when discovered, will not only bring fame to them, but will be of lasting benefit to the entire human family.
What wonderful strides have been made in the medical world, for instance: Surgeons are now performing operations that a number of years ago, would be looked upon as wholly impossible. Men have sought out the hiding places of the deadly germs, have found methods to exterminate them, and we are cured today of diseases our forefathers pronounced fatal, and so all along the line the cry is for specializing; be a master of one subject if you must have but a smattering of all also.
And so when we find the young people of this great city deeply absorbed in the study of problems that tend to the uplift of the race we are proud and willing to lend them any aid in our power for their further advancement. For six years an annual literary contest has been held in which the contestants were required to write and deliver essays on subjects of the greatest moment to the race to which they belong. That they have done each and every subject credit is attested by the enthusiastic applause recorded them by the large audiences made up of the thinking people of this big city.
The prizes given by Dr. Louis Usellman, though very beautiful and expensive, their value pales into insignificance compared to the real development each contestant gains intellectually.
. MAI. ROBERT R. MOTON
THAT MAJ. ROBERT RUSSIA MOTON was selected as the successor of Dr. Booker T. Washington came as little surprise to the host of friends who know him. It is the consensus of opinion that this broad land could not be searched in vain to find another man better fitted from every point of view, to assume the duties and responsibilities attached to an institution of this magnitude. As a patriot, citizen, Christian, scholar, and a man for men he has no equal in our race.
Tuskegee with all of its various activities will continue to flourish under his directing hand, for he comes to the school not as a novice, but as a veteran who has spent the major part of his life in educational work, and who has won a place for himself through his individual efforts in the hearts of the people, both white and black, in this broad land.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT to Mr. Wilson's opinion, it dawns on a great many people that he is slightly in error when he says "Democrats have nothing to fear in the coming election." If they express any fear at all it is because they realize what a disastrous thing it would be to the country to have him returned to office. Fortunately the chances are very slim.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE, at least so the wives and sweethearts of the members of the Appomato Club think, since one of our leading weeklies advertised some of the "activities" indulged in this land of the free and home of the afraid.

Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender.
By D. W. Johnson.
"The Michigan Manual of Freedman's Progress," compiled by Francis H. Warren, secretary of the Freedman's Progress Commission, which held a magnificent exhibition of the work of the Freedman's Progress, in a valuable book, full of information and interest to the race throughout the country, and especially industrial, professional and political progress of the race in Michigan. It is illustrated with cuts of prominent professional business men and women, also industrial, professional and political industrials of the race. The committee exercised wise discretion when they decided to transmit a copy of the Michigan Manual to the Legislature, elective state officials, circuit judges, to public libraries and each member of Congress from Michigan, the purpose of which was to acquaint the leadership of the state of Michigan of the race in the state and provide them with a faithful record of their achievements and progress as citizens. The committee was also engaged in the Civil War was shown, in as many other state, by a voluntary regiment composed of 1,500 men. The incomplete manual, 1,356 owners shows a valuation of $12,822,000 property and $1,115,653 in personal property.

The Sage of Tuskegee
The world received the news, Tuskegee,
That that night Sage last gone,
Left when thou least could st spare him,
rem to his Slaver and his own.
You were not prepared, Tuskegee,
Treat the boy, the world,
If I could, I'd send and fetch him
And to you I'd give him back.
I'd give him back, because, Tuskegee,
He left his work here incomplete (?)
For there no man in all the nation
That follow in his sweep.
Sure, its sad to know, Tuskegee,
The pitcher was broken at the well,
For midnight
Left him lying where his fech
He led his race so well, Tuskegee,
Through prejudice, ignorance and strife,
And was making it a nation
Worthy of the race of life.
Cast your eye about, Tuskegee,
What great buildings you have here
In the heart of the city.
These were nurtured by his care.
But this princely Sage, Tuskegee,
Wrought in white while it was day,
Benefactors pay him homage.
Praying that you'll not lose your way.
The world now neeps with you, Tuskegee,
Uncovered around the silent biter,
Asking God for consolation
And why him he did not spare?
There are those, we know, Tuskegee,
Who'll take the work, who'll keep up,
But there's not a living being
Who can ever fill his place.
God acts wisely, too, Tuskegee,
He takes the ripped flowers home;
Leaves the books, the half-grown bows
For another summer's sun.
He has run his race, Tuskegee,
That man in submission, more,
Bow them in submission, him.
Lift thy eye, ye need no more.
Now listen to my prayer, "Tuskogeo,
Since the Sage hase gone along,
Since the Sage hase gone along,
I have sung to you this song.
—W. M. Montgomery, Hirringham, Atn.
The grave is not the end of time.
So spake the Sace from Rhedon;
It is the rest-room of quiet and peace.
The wreath of youth grows, never
cease.
It is logical to test the wits of men,
To vie with him and learn of them
Who mothbish his hosts to lofty heights
Of wilde sublime to view such superb
sights.
There is still much good in the clover roots
Of him who has passed but lives in memory to all through his books into each life his thoughts give. He found the Holy Grail of Wisdom of game his quarry. Onward murder to him to carry food for his hosts to enjoy in peace and freedom. —Juther M. Thornton, St. Paul, Minn.

Christmaslide is fast approaching and soon will be in sight of the multiplied millions who gladly and welcomely avert its glorious appearance. Its advent will mark the beginning of the many festivities customarily indulged in, a precedent long since established by ancestral participation. The young and tender hearts, whose childlike simplicity is in keeping with the life of Him whose birth they so gloriously commemorate, will also partake of the happy experiences made possible on this occasion by the advent of the Savior of all mankind. On this significant occasion, however, the joy of the young may be in vast contrast to those of mature years. The former through good department are richly rewarded by the gifts of old man Santa Claus, whose beneficial appearance emphasizes the necessity of his existence, while those of larger experiences with exceedingly great joy indulge in giving and receiving of the many necessities of life worthy of appreciation. Pleasure in the highest degree is also manifested by mutual greeting of good will and heart wishes. Therefore it is incumbent upon all within the bounds of christendom, with sincere gratitude to all-wise providence, to appreciate beyond a small degree the monumental occasion that gave to the world a Redeemer for the salvation of all mankind.

O, little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see the lie.
And what of darknessless sleep
The stent stars on high.
Yet in the darkened streets doth shine
The everlasting light.
The town of Bethlehem through all the years
Are bent on the toilous night.
O, morning star of Bethlehem,
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God, the King;
The peace its holy worth,
Christ aniser, born of Mary,
In the holy land,
Sing, O angel hands of heaven;
Hear the voice from skies above.
Kindness o'er the stands n-a-watching;
Fath holds while the open door;
The dim of darkness fades to glory—
Christmasstilde hath come once more.
Amidst the snow, bidding the glad tildings tell—
The Savior, born in Bethlehem manger,
With man has come to dwell.
In all sincerity I wish to say to all
my fellow men a warm Christmas, for

Do not neglect a cold. All colds are serious. Should you have a cold and this cold does not yield within a week or ordinary home remedies, you should treat it with something that should not be neglected. Dangers of cold. There are many dares to be considered in dealing with cold. The most serious of spices as colds as cocks the head and throat, and the colds there is a deranged condition in the mucous membranes or the lining of the nose and bronchial tubes and there is a congested and indolent condition.
Following a cold we may have bronchitis, which is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes extending into the lungs. Pneumonia is an infection of the mature and easily recovered from under proper treatment, but if neglected may lead to the second danger of a pneumonia. Pneumonia in the medical care of weeping patients "the captain of the men of death," and from November to June will kill more people in the prime of life and old age than pneumonia. Over the report of the deaths occurring in Chicago during the week of December 19 you will find that pneumonia, "the most serious of the other disease by a number of 188. Most of the people who were killed by pneumonia were in the active earning state of the country, a great economic loss to the state as we know it. No doubt 50 per cent of those who died with pneumonia could have been properly housed, personal hygiening and medical monia, as you know, comes largely from bad personal hygiene, lod housing, overcrowding, foul air, overheated apartments, exposure to winds, dampness and dust.
Third danger of neglected colds is lung consumption or what is popularly known as pulmonary tuberculosis. A neglected colds system maintains the system, produces a run-down condition of the system, lowers the vital resistance of the body and renders the immune system deficient in invading disease germ; hence the above named diseases, neglected colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, render the human system less able to resist the invading fungi. In the very early days and very often we have, following a neglected cold, thought to be of no importance, lung consumption, or, as you may, it lung fever or galloping consumption.
What to do about a cold. Should you wear a coat? In the case that does not yield to rest in bed, cough medicine buy patient medicines, various cough syrups, or tablets are often harmful; because they are often harmful, give you a feeling of security, while the other germs are making headway in developing. In the case that you should have submitted yourself to your physician for an early physical exam, you should
A Question?
By J. D. Reynolds Los Angeles, Cal.
Why is it that the only expression of sorrow, sympathy or respect made public in the United States is the boston—and that one from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, of Oyster Bay, Nov. 14th, while none, as I have noticed, from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, of the proml. Southern, was upon it.
Dr. Washington's whole life work was for the benefit of the South, and in bringing harmony among the whites and the blacks, he was often stricken with illness in New York his most anxious desire, he said, was to go immediately to the South to his home he loved so well. And should he die, his desire was to die in his Southern home.
It is a remarkable fact that the better class of the whole white south placed a tremendous responsibility on the south—their ordinary emergencies patting him on his back and telling him to pacify and encourage the negroes to remain in the south—their birth place. That it was good to have a black soil; to get a home; he honest and industrious and improve their property by keeping it neat and clean, and cultivate a good opinion of the whites instead of contemptuous about segregation and discrimination.
For this expression he has been criticized, but has been fortunate enough to have vindication come along so quickly and without indemnation, that it was considered facts to
Here is a case, at least, in which publication is not in many instances. It not advanced here and should not be advanced anywhere that criticism of men of his standing, of his ability, of his stability, is always to be discouraged or represented when it is called forth by honest criticism. It is intended to be勇敢 criticism, not vicious criticism, but intended to be directly personal then it is misguided. Such advice as Dr. Washington gave the nieces of the South was highly appreciated and applauded by the best class of men. They also told them they lose a man highly esteemed and valued for his influence among his peers of the South, whom he always advises to remember that it was the best place for them. The Southern whites know well that no other class of laborers or domestics who for generations have served faithfully and obediently, without pay or compensation, and now have to be contented with whatever huge scale their employer舍 fits to pay.
