It was stated by certain members of the rump convention shortly after the Athens meeting that the sub-committee of management would be appalled to and would not support the committee sought. The whole matter was there and therefore the committee here last week. Among the findings of the committee it was found that no official statement has been given on that the charter of the order in the State of Georgia has been arrested and that the Grand Secretary Ben J. Davis and Grand Secretary Ben J. Davis, have been suspended from the order for two months. This ruling meant that a re-organization of Grand Secretary Ben J. Davis would place within the next sixty or ninety days. It is thought by many that the Davis-ingram failure will not adhere to it and that the courts before they will allow themselves to be shoved out. This will mean a long drawn out case of litigation.

MAYOR PIERPONT SAYS SOUTH MUST HELP THE RACE MAYOR PIERPONT SAYS SOUTH MUST HELP THE RACE Conference of Southern Mayors Discusses Problem How Best to Develop the Race's Condition in Southern Cities and Rural Districts. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 28—Mayor J. Pierfort, Savannah, Ga., who was here conference with southern mayors, delivered a speech on problems of the race which he said should be of paramount importance. He spoke of the need to improve the industrial machinery of the South, and said that he had played a wonder in the industrial machinery of the South and today, he said, the South has its services. The mayor said that every community should make the surroundings safer, and guard the health of this group of people. Barry C. Smith, New York City, spoke on "The Evils of the Present Situation." Mayor J. Pierfort will not be behind other cities in adopting the proposed reform. "It can be said that we Savannah will not be behind other cities on this subject. There are many other problems, however, that are common to all southern cities, but of particular importance." The economic side of the problem should have the serious thought of every man who is any degree responsible for warfare of our cities of the Southland. "I shall consider this problem as it affects the health and the commercial interest of the cities." Important Part. The Afro-American is important part of the industrial machinery of the South. He has played an important role in development of the South, and today we have his service and his experience ever before—we need him on our cotton plantations and in our orange groves; his importance to our factories, on our manufacturing factories, and on our wharves. There are none too many laborers. If this is not important, it is a great importance to make him an efficient laborer with villains and as a race they have many faults, and at the same time they have required him to the climate, and he is naturally cheerful and contented. This is in striking contrast with the laborers upon which the northern states are compounded with villains, with villains a much more efficient laborer in antebellum days than he is now. This fact is not disputed. There are reasons for the loss of efficiency in the white man in loss to both races. Many of the causes for the loss of efficiency are found in the inherent traits of character of the race. He has placed him in cities in a largely contributing factor. Self-Preservation. At the same time it is a measure of self-health of these people. We should make available for them water as pure as that we drink and in every respect their surmise.

BOY SAVES LIFE OF COMPANION BOY SAVES LIFE OF COMPANION Alonzo Allen, Aged 17, Rescues a Drowning White Boy at "Death Pit" While Skating—Two Others Lose Their Lives—Daily Papers Fail to Mention Bravery. FUND BEING RAISED. Owen Gathright Writes Dally Press That Such Heretic Actions Should Be Chron-faced and Starts a Fund for Boy's Education—Carnegie Medal May Be Given. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 28.—Alonzo Allen, age 17, proved a hero a few days ago when he saved the life of a youngster who was skating on a pond of thin ice. A number of white boys were skating on the ice at "Death Pit," in the East end, when two lost their lives. It was a cold and raw day—the pond was filled with skaters. When their companions saw the boys go under the water those far off were panic-stricken. Allen, who was fifty feet away, ran down a steep embankment, on his way stopping to grab a dead tree limb, and by his remarkable presence of mind saved one of the drowning boys and tried heroically to pull the others out. The daily papers had little to say about Allen, but the parents thanked the boy. It remained for Mr. Owen Gathright, a white man, to call the attention of the public to the boy's brave actions. He was to shocked at the manner in which the daily papers ignored the boy's effort in saving the life of the little white neighbor that he wrote the following to the Louisville Courier-Journal, of which Col. Henry Watterson is editor. Says Mr. Gathright: This community was shocked at the tragic drowning last Friday of the two lads in what your paper rightly designated "The Death Pit," near 2100. The death of the people we were our people went out to the bereaved and distressed families of the two boys who lost their lives while engaged in innocent sport. Your paper, as do the other papers of our city, was of the other people of the more or less dangerous efforts of the members of the fire department and coast guardmen, who exposed themselves to the danger of illness and even death. The others were to recover the bodies of the boys. All that has been said, and probably more, might justly have been said regarding the efforts of these men and of others who interested them. The others were to be treated as families. But aside from the distressing tragedy that visited the two homes there stands out most thrilling the example of modest, yet almost unglamorous, life on the part of the 17-year-old colored "homb" who was the 18-year-old color of this boy's prompt action in saving the life of little Gilbert Hume and his efforts to rescue the Wearer and Ederbirk boys, as they were the first to be treated with a cold. "Come! Come!" said the parents in their "simple annals of the poor," tell, to my thinking, the story of as sensible, brave and heroic action as I can recall standing to the credit of the first of all the men who were until I quote, briefly, from the count of young Allen's action: "The only person in slight was Alonso Allen, who was walking along the railway embankment, about fifty feet above the top, and was a man of great strength. He ran down the steep bank of the pit, and on the way seized a piece of tree limb about ten feet long and ran out on the thin ice. The first to arrear in the pit was the man who had been his tree branch, to bring the other two boys to the surface." The foregoing recital is condensed from the account in two of our papers. The little hero was not playing to the grandstand, nor to "beachers," for neither was occupied. I have looked through the daily papers, expecting to see some more generous recognition of Alonzo Allen's brave action in saving human life, hoping to see that some of our papers had, in view of the almost certain fact that Alonzo is a poor boy, started raising a fund for this heroic black boy, whose home address none of the papers seemed to have taken the trouble to locate. If you approve, and will give the appeal space in your paper, I will close this all-too-long communication with the suggestion that a reasonable fund be raised for the benefit of Alonzo Allen, and possibly a dependent parent or parents. In doing this I feel you will have long-term success in a most worthy cause. Race Men Interested. Mr. Lee Brown, editor of the Louisville News, Prof. A. E. Meyzeek and several others called upon Mr. Gathlright and thanked him for calling attention of the public to the action of young Allen. Members of the race said they would start a fund for the young boy, and Mr. Gathlright made a contribution himself. Such well-known race leaders as William Warley, Dr. H. E. Kinslow, Prof. I. Willis Cole, Prof. W. P. Matthews, H. C. Russell, Dr. Wilson Ballard, H. C. Russell and Frank Wills have contributed. Reports have it here that young Allen will be given a Carnegie medal for his heroic service in saving the boy. FIRE DESTROYS HOME.

Gang Ends in Death—Youth Was Stealing Eggs—Had a Bad Record—Had Been Shot Before. Wednesday night about 6 o'clock, a wagon owned by the Stellen Team, driven by Chas. Masson, 1222. Well: street young down Wabash, avenue 33th, 33th Street, 33th St. and 33th Street, seen at a wing on it and then one just around off with a case of eggs on his shoulder. For some time the police have tried to break up the gang of youthful thieves, who were in the car, and they were seen as merchants and those of the race. Motorcycle Policemen Wilcox and Dinen saw them and gave chase. One ydled for him to stop. The boy kept on. The of-the-fell was the first man to get the air. The youth kept a-going. He sat again, then a third shot; still the youth kept running. Finally he shot to hit the box the boy was carrying when the boy was in the way. He got the box, but he went through his brain. Hoard was hurried to the Provident Hospital, but he died as he was carried through the door. Later he was taken to King and the life of the boy was lost. He was at 6222 Orrington street, Evanston. Little could be learned from his brother about the affair. Eye witnesses say the boy had the eggs. Turning to some of the boys who had been in the way, he found the youths in the neighborhood asked. "Do you know him?" "Know him! Well, I guess yes. He's been up several times. He's a bad actor." Robert Hoard, who was a good actor, said, "He's a good actor, as Robert Hoard and Robert Hird, you shot Nov. 27 by Officer Harry Dinn, as he was attempting to escape after robbing a wagon owned by the North American Company. He was in the way. He had with him clothing taken from the wagon and valued at $237.50. He was sentenced to the house of correction for nine months by Judge Hild, who was later released. He lives at 1622 or Washington street, in Evanston. This should serve as a serious lesson to wayward boys who fail to listen to the advice of their friends and parents. OVERCOME BY GAS. Mrs. J. H. Carter, 2682 Federal St. was band, returning from work, found her in an unconscious condition and she had to be rushed to the hospital to save her Washington, D.C., Jan. 28. —Bishop Walters, president of the race Democrats is still a firm believer in the President and the administration despite the fact that he has been turned down several times in his attempt to get the president to appoint a race man keeper. He has been a few weeks ago that the President couldn't name a race man because he was afraid the senate wouldn't confirm the appointment. Friday he called at the White House and presented an open letter in person to the President. Now the question is whether the president will be pressed close on the question. Will the president be allowed to be the president to be acted upon. Can the Democrats afford to ignore a half million people? Bishop Walters is anxious to know. The other eight million people are lying silently in wait like a vast army to show their dissatisfaction from now on and forever more with the ballot and will never be able to make a full report. Democratic party from their lists. Bishop Walters is also the faith of the race-loving law-abiding citizen. The way the administration deliberately passed up and ignored the death of Hon. Booker T. Washington, a man who was a figure in the world, not simply in the United States, will not be forgotten. It matters not to the race man if the people who have been appointed to receive their votes are not the Jim Crow law, the segregation movement, among the clerks, all show a tendency to lean toward and also became wrapped up in the South where he originated from. The race has been grossly mistreated and all efforts of Walters or anyone else will not pull the blinds over the people at the time. This appointment is a misfortune, and the wrong already done will at the time be even if it succeeds. Graduate In Both Medicine and Law Was Principal of the High School.

KNOCKOUT ENDS HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT Fourth Round Sees Johnson Take the Count—Five Minutes Elapses Before He Is Able to Go to Dressing Room—Fans Well Pleased. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 28—Last Thursday night Sam Langford won over Andrew Johnson when he sent the latter to the floor in the fourth round for the count. Langford had sent him to the floor four times in the last two rounds, and the last time it took five minutes to get the ball. Langford was, Langford as usual shows plenty of class and his cleverness amused the fans who turned out in large numbers. His infiguration in the clinches when Johnson trice to ride him with his heavy weight the Ninth Indoor for Sam shot jabs to the stomach and others to the jaw with telling effect. Johnson Outclassed. From the beginning Johnson was completely outclassed, as he could not lay his glove with any effect on Langford, although he was willing to carry the fight to him. The third round, after Langford and Treated, and after a succession of fabs, hooks and uppercuts, which were not traveling over eight or ten inches, he shot an over-hand right to the jacket and dropped the big fellow to the floor. Johnson had till the referee had counted eight and then came up in a groggy condition. Langford seemed to play with him till he got up and the beginning of the fourth it was apparent that Johnson couldn't go much further. After a little mikp Johnson still showed determination to fight and Langford ripped his jacket. Johnson was steam hammer and Johnson went to the floor, while the crowd yelled with glee. Clasping his hand over his heart, Johnson showed misery, but managed to return to the court and seeing it he sent a terrific left to the jaw (Langford's "hay-maker") and a vicious jab over the heart and Johnson was making hay. Five minutes after the referee slated to the dressing room. The fans were well pleased, as there was plenty of action all night. There was some delay in starting the fight, but not enough to stop the preliminaries. The preliminaries Williams was too much for Barbershop Kid and won the decision over him. In the four-round bout between Young Dixon and Kid Black, Johnson of Jacksonville and Battling Hutchins of Savannah ended in a draw.

Binga Dismond is being relied upon by Coach Stagg to win many of the track meet that the Chicago University track team has been ected in. Binga has always been the best quarter-miler out at C. U. At one of the best ball games I am at Washington Park the Grace team was playing on Sunday school team and the ball was both pitchers who going great guns and it was a tossup who would win. Baker, who was on third, ran half way up to home plate and drew a throw from the catcher. Instead of returned to the catcher. There was some dispute over the decision, but Sullivan, who was umpliring, stood pat. Langford evidently got even with Johnson for what Willis did to him. There are so many lightweight who are claiming the championship one hardly knows who is who. Now comes another in the form of Arthur Stigall of New York. Binga holds up with young Joe Guns and Kid McCoy will soon fight the Jamaican Kid. Now things are getting so some one will have to release their claim for the title.

It is well understood that what are known as the dirty air diseases are due to only by bad indoor conditions. Primarily, the proper ventilation, improper or insufficient air supply. It is also true that the proper ventilation of our houses, shops and work places is a winter problem. During the warm weather the proper ventilation of homes and work places generally solves itself. It is during the cold weather months that people will persist in the warm and are lamentably indifferent to the need of ventilating their homes and work places. Stagnant air and over-heated air are the principal causes of coughs, colds, bronchitis and pneumonia. Usually too, over-heated air is far drier than it should approach as nearly as possible, that our indoor air approach the outdoor air under normal conditions. Window ventilation is worth studying. It is natural that people should not want to open their windows in zero condition, a reason that to do so would involve dissection of the sumption of fuel. It is possible, however, to maintain good air supply and circulation of the same in the average room, simply by a little observation of outside windows and proper manipulation of the windows and a window on the windward side of the room, on the bottom an inch or more, according to the outdoor wind velocity and using a deflecting board on the window sill to deflect the air up into the room at about the window level and lowering on the top an inch or less, or more, according outside temperature, will provide both air supply and air movement.

This flame heats the mantle to a white heat—the hotter the flame the whiter and brighter the mantle. In short, the value of gas for mantle light purposes, depends entirely upon its "heat units," not candle power. The ordinance which compels Chicago to test her gas for Candle Power, is an old timer. It is a relic of the days when our streets and homes were lighted with flat-flame burners. In those days the ordinance was a good thing. But think how times have changed. The old flat-flame burner is on the way to a shelf in the Field Museum. It is a "has-been" because the mantle unit gives six times more light and consumes half the gas. For this reason, 98% of the gas used for illumination is now burned in mantles. The Candle-Power-clause in Chicago's Gas Ordinance should, therefore, be eliminated. It is an embarassment to the City and an insurmountable handicap to the Gas Company in connection with its efforts to make gas cheaper and more efficient for lighting, cooking and industrial uses. Any Gas Company employee in our branch must or our big salesroom downtown, can explain this to you in a few words; in connection with the demonstration of an Amber Glow Gas Light—any time you care to call.

Half a mile down, Lozow aligned himself with the champion, and a frenzied yell escaped the crowd as the fliers battled through every inch of the journey. He aligned himself in front again and stood on the determined challenge of Morso in the final twenty yards to win by six inches.

Chicago has a novelty in this line in the person of Dave Peyton. When the music teacher read of his success both in education and business, I dare say they will marvel. Mr. Peyton's musical education began in the summer of 1905 until he graduated from the Raymond School in 1905. After graduation he entered the postal service for three years. He began his first professional business engagement with Poney Moore's Burlesque Show company in 1909. In 1910 he took course playing which resulted in course in counterpoint and harmony which resulted in 1911 in his receiving course in counterpoint from the American College of Music.

Dear Mr. Langston: In reply to your request for a biographical sketch which I will submit the following (the same to be approved and typed by that sensationally speedy vaudeville stenographer, Lillie Smith of the City End of the present, I will say at an early age I developed an unusual talent for starvation, and much to the chargin of my life, I was the director. I showed so much class in this line that I was chosen president of the Never Work Actors' Union. I applied to the University of time and after much clever talk on my part was booked in the far north, where Perry and Dr. Cook both claimed to have starved in the out clothes, twice a night! I tested the zero weather of cold dressing rooms at the Temple in Cleveland. At this point I was asked by the Federal Government does not allow the language necessary to describe it to go through the mails. In this new land discoveries have given me more knowledge to science as human beings, namely, Sarah Green Bryd, Con- nors and Mann, Sydney Kirkpatrick and Brodges the Monologist. Draw night scenes of the monologue touched by us, and with great feelings of tepidation (whatever that is), we await Sunny night when the ghost is scheduled to appear. It will I may write a continuation of this from the monologue, but the trenches of another dee house traveling under the guise of a vaudeville theater.

New Congress will be convened before the country for rejection or adoption by the people. The present indicative Republican party will unite with common platform and candidates to defeat the Republican National Committee has reduced the Southern representation in the Senate to 15%. The influence of the Afro-American in the South will be less in the June Convention and the Republican Convention for half a century. In the North, Afro-American as a rule American national Convention. So that if the representation of the force is reduced American in national politics will be felt. This situation leading colored realizing this country have organized a movement to counter the representation of the Republican Convention and also to meet the requirements of the Congress and in the Electoral College to counter the representation of the Republican National Convention and also to meet the requirements of the Constitution of the United States. It is thought by some that if the representation of the Southern Afro-American is reduced in the Republican National Convention that it is the duty of the Afro-American of the North who has the right to vote to see to it that the Northern colored man has representation in the Republican National Convention, not only in his own Interests but to help restore the lost rights of his Race in the Southern states. The Defender is of the opinion that the Afro-Americans of Illinois and of Chicago in particular should begin at once to take some steps to see that the colored people of this great state are represented in the next National Republican Convention by an Afro-American elected by themselves and not selected for them by the political bosses of the Republican party who have been forcing upon the colored people of the country Afro-Americans as leaders who have been willing to sacrifice and betray their Race for the sake of advancing their own individual national interests. The numbers and political status of the colored people in the city of Chicago are not as to demand a number of new laws as to decision of whether to vote to see to it that the rising generations of colored people in this city and state. First. The colored people of the First Congressional District of Illinois should select a colored man as one of the delegates to the Republican National Convention to be held in Chicago in June 1916. colored people in the 2nd ward and in the colored stonal district constitute a majority of the population and, in much as the present boarders, and in much as the present boarders, and in much as the present boarders, which they secure by virtue of the strength given to them by the people to make them an effort to secure their proper representation by making every possible elective position which they should select a strong candidate for the office, who will represent the interests of the people and not the whites of white political Third. The colored people have about 10 percent of the population. They have thousands of children in public schools. It is now time that they succeed in the elective position influence towards securing a member of the race upon the school board in the city of Fourth, Inasmuch as the colored people are in the majority in the Republican party, the second was the time of the lived for them and assume the political leadership and for this purpose they should nominate and elect a colored man for ward committeeman. The painful and unfeasible坐着，the leading of the color people who are in majority of going and asking some white political boss for recognition which they will not give and to which the race is entitled should be given to the people who are the color people who are a right to select the ward committeeman and in their own interests the time has arrived for them to select one from their own number. Little time has still well to state also that the time has arrived when the colored people should refuse to have as leaders are representative. Negroes who, as soon as they get in office their influence and how to keep them in power, are not only quiet in order that the Race might be continued in its subjected and neglected political state. The Defender invites the resolution of important questions before the color people of the tractors of the interests of the race at heart and who seek to advance and promote the political and political interests of the color people. In the meaning The Defender will speak out in behalf of the people upon these various political interests and will contain each week The Defender's position is the same as the other people who willHOVHEO. The�. A mass conference should be called at once of the colored persons who are the only people who are the most immediate action. Who will dare to take the lead for the people and the race? Good Enough. "Do you think you can support my daughter in the style to which she has become accustomed?"

When a bullet or any foreign body penetrates a tree not sufficiently to hit it, the wound cistrates almost in exactly the same way as a wound on the human body health. It did not, however, wound enter and cause decay of the tissues. "Trees," write Henni Couri in La Nature, "are very well equipped for healing their wounds, and, more fortunate than we, an antiseptic dress applied. As soon as the lesion has been applied, the vegetable reacts to the wound spot; its breathing at this point is quickened and at the same time protein matters are rushed to the scene. As soon as the lesion has with secreting gums filled with more gummy substances which are instantly poured out over the wounded surface and protect it. This is true especially of the confines—pines, firs, oak—and impermeable antiseptic dressing." In trees that have little or no resina the wounded part turns brown. This is due to the appearance of a juice that has been drained from the trunk and tannin. And the cells of the tree into activity, proliferating and filling up the cavity with new cells. If the wound be large these take the form of vegetable electrical tissue, which is often found in the event that the wound be confined to one of the limbs of the tree is not infrequently happens that the limb becomes dead and drops off, the wound healing and leaving the tree in the absence of the loss of the absent member. Remarkable Echo: Among the most noted echoes is that heard from the suspension bridge across the Menal strait. The sound of a blow from a hammer on one of the towers of the bridge is turned in succession from each of the crossbeams that support the roadway and from the opposite pier at the distance of 576 feet, in addition to which the sound is many times repeated between the two towers, the rate of 28 times in five seconds. Silver in Iron Cross The German iron cross, which has been given since the war of liberation in 1813, is not, as commonly supposed, entirely of cast iron, but has an aging of silver. Bestowal of the decoration of the rank is a chance to members of the rank and file. Mrs. Joax—"I nearly fainted on the crowded street car coming home." Mr. Joax—"So close in the car?"

Mr. Irvin has the only Negro music publishing company that is a member of the Music Trade and is listed with all the music dealers throughout the country. With international copyrights, he buys and all rights reserved. It is Mr. Fred Irvin's ambition to give the Negro song writers a chance to get the credit that is due them, which they have not had a chance before. All the biggest song hits for years have been the work of the Negro melodies stolen from them by white-mined음-co-goung-the-buying him a few drinks, killing him he is great and play that over again and the same time memorizing the melody and in a few weeks the fellow that bought a few drinks for the Negro boy turns up with a positive hit and cleans up from ten to fifty thousand dollars, and gets it all for a few drinks. Mr. Irvin is at present working on a number of his, which he has had offers from Will Rossiter and Leo Fiest, music publishers, but Mr. Irvin says if it is good enough for them to offer him a price for it before the song is a month old he can wait and build patiently and with the same facilities they have he will be and put the songs over two years real high. The title of these songs are "I've Got a Remedy to Cure the Blues" and "Sympathizing Moon." ARE YOU INSURED? Insure today; tomorrow may be too large. Life Insurance Co. kingswood 1938. LYNE ROBINSON FOLLOWS FAMOUS MOTHER Reared and Educated in St. Louis —Showed Aptitude for Business Ability in Early Youth Now a Distinguished Woman of the Race. SUPERIOR TRAINING Menn. G. J. Walker to Travel in the West to Lecture on Lecture to Lecture on Woman in Business (Special to Chicago Defender.) New York, Jan. 23.—Madamo Lella Walker Robinson, daughter of Madame C. J. Walker, far famed as the head of the Walker Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, has set the city agog by opening one of the most completely furured beauty, partors anywhere in the east. It is a local business in New York 1356th, in a building owned by Madamo Robinson. Every convenience and art known to the new art of beauty partors have been installed in her new establishment. It is Madamo Robinson's place to teach race young women the finer points of the alternative business in which her mother has been engaged and from which she has accumulated more wealth than any other race woman in America. The department of instruction connected with her monster establishment is to be known as the Lella College. The opening of her beauty palace was an uneventual, was signalized as a "blaze of glory." Fashion, wealth and the elect generally wended its way by all modes of conveyance in response to the nearly 10,000 invitations issued by Mme. Lella Walker Robinson to be present at the opening of her spacious purlors. Light and greatness of the eye of the beholder was surpassingly the final. Nos. 108-110 have been built into one of the house, having a facing of red brick with E MADAME C. J. WALKER. The world's celebrated hair cuturist. marble trimming, French windows and two entrances, one private, leading up to the other down into the basement shop. The shop was open to inspection, and every other room in the basement show with the Walker coat of arms in the center to the beywood trees in green pants and the Walker coat of arms in the bevelous beautiful. The exterior is impressive, but it only faintly suggests the interior. Blue and white is the color of the interior. Blue and gray wreaker woven to tone the parquet floors, and the stamped metallic ceilings are but silent reminders of the healthful and attractive interior. Just back of the office proper are the dainty manicure tables presided over by the Walker, the decorated peeling kind. She, too, is dressed and slipped in white. The sanitary foundation and the Phoebe Snow goods are displayed on the walls. To the left along the wall are windows where the Walker preparations and the Phoebe Snow goods are displayed. You can just make you think if you soiled back of it if you could sell things in spite of yourself. They are such lovely, smelly things. The big French mirror is an alluring temptation "to see yourself as others you simply cannot resist posing there." The furniture is of the dainty Wicker variety, and handsomely cushioned in blue velvet. Tastily arranged in the spacious office room are large tables upon which you rest your parcels. Here and there are smaller ones, upon which are all the latest magazines and popular periodicals to be had. From the dainty cups to the long windows looking out into the most beautiful yard everything smacks of the orient. Ten for your tired brain while you wait your turn. The booths are not only sanitary but very attractive, and separated by curtains hung on expanding gates. The electric drier, the foot rests, the comfortable chairs, all bespeak satisfactory results to patrons. On the right of the tea room is the instruction room, complete in every detail, and human models are provided for the students to work on. The lighting facilities taxed the ingenuity of the best experts in arrangement and effect ever attempted by electricians in any place in this city of its character. To get an adequate idea of the attractiveness of the lighting scheme one must see it. Madame Robinson, whose business genius is responsible for this immense success, is courteous among race women anywhere. It was a joy to be to tell entertaining stories about race women’s achievement by the great woman herself, and to bear away the impress of the world by the things, and the thing created by Lela Walton, son is the greatest achievement of the race for the employment of ambitious women, and the attractiveness of hundreds of others. Madame Robinson on the occasion of her 80th birthday, the benign culture was the recipient of telegrams, messages, and personal congratulations from all over the country by adoration.

Edwards last night, "and if there is anything that can be done by vigorous investigation to find out the men guilty of lynching Richards it will be done." Sheriff Edwards was not awakened at his home in Goldsboro until after the lynching had occurred. It came as a shock to him. He had not expected Goldsboro people or Wayne county citizens to take such action. "I had a message from a cashier of a bank in Goldsboro Tuesday night that something was in the wind," Sheriff Edwards admitted last night, "but I thought nothing of it. These warnings had been coming every day since the men were put under arrest for a crime which they haven't been proved guilty of yet."

Their houses are built solely with a view to profits on the land, and the population located in unhealthy, ill-drained sections because the land is cheap. Comfort and decency are sacrificed in the endeavor to reach the land. The result is a 'sickly' population with an abnormal death rate, and to a great extent the white race suffers in the area. Race Nurse. "The race nurse possibly comes disfamiled and fends off the baby of her white employee. The cook or the hundreds may bring in a million, if her own house is in imminent. "It is a fact that the death rate of the race nurse is much higher than it is in the country, jacksonville and Savannah are not exceptions to the rule. The race nurse has a chance which indicates the race races since 1854. This chart shows the death rate of the race races since 1854. After 1866 it shows a rapid increase in the death rate of the race, and proportion has been nearly two to one. Tribute to Brunner. "The people of Savannah are most fortunate in having for their health officer unified devotion to duty, has held the office for years. He has demonstrated unwavering devotion to duty, has held the white race is contingent to a great degree upon the health of the Afro-American race. In guarding against the advenience of the white homes he keeps a careful watch on the race. The race receives from him when the race is not as white as the white man. This consideration has won their confidence to such an extent that they voluntarily inform him of the race, and they treat them. The value of this confidence is shown by the fact that in more than two years there has not been a case of small children in the county nor the county in which it is situated." MRS.

He pleads with her to help him realize mistake and repent. BUT as their SON is their SON as their HERS ASHING, AND DESERVING WHAT DISTINCTION HAS GOD MAY TOWARD RAGES OR COLOR OF SKIN? Robert Hillard, one of the greatest actors in this country, has caused an upheaval among the dramatic critics throughout the country when he put the play, "The Prid of the Race," on at the Maxine Elliott Theater. So great has the stir become that Sunday morning the Tribune and the Record-Herald had mentioned it. The former paper under a date line from New York couldn't see the possibility of the success of such a play. This drew our attention to New York, where every paper had something to say about this play, yet during the sweep of the dirty film, the "Birth of the Nation," not one dared to oppose it for the simple reason that it threw thousands of dollars. The showing of our people in the worst form, the contradiction of American history such as it is, the opening of a dead issue, the fact that Griffin and Dixon both were sons of Confederate rebels, all went for bosh. Now Deegan Folk, the leading character in the "Pride of the Race," shows the race in an entirely different aspect. The critics, that is most of them, are looking at the play from the color standpoint and not from the merits that lie within. "The Prid of the Race." At the opening performance there was not a seat to be had, yet the critics say DELIVERS PRISONERS TO MOB (Continued from page 1.) formed of the lynching, made no comment. Afterwards he ordered the grand jury into session, and it is likely that the lynching will be taken up. Men Handcuffed with Hands Behind Them. Sylvester, G., Jan. 18.—Sheriff Pottis says that he might be able to recognize the man he was about to talk about here that the mob took them one by one, hands handed behind their backs, legs tied together with ropes, so he could see the man. All five men protested their innocence. One of the mob lost his hat, but it was taken by the farmer and burned to destroy eyeglasses. Ministera Denounce Crime. Goldsbore, Jan. 25. —The Goldsbore Ministers' Union (white), in the following resolutions, this afternoon denounced the lynching of last week, and recently occurred in our community an alleged murder followed by a horrible lynching, we the members of the community feel it to be our solemn duty in the first place to express our horror of the crime, extending at the same time our heartfelt sympathy to the family and community. "in the second place, we would also con- sider the second crime as unnecessary and denial of justice." We further regret that this lynch- ing was not a response to many people of standing in the community. This is almost to be more deplored than any other lynching in the country. Right-thinking men or women can con- duce such deeds. Much less can we un- knowingly be a follower of the Chrisk, an approve of the lawless due to death of a criminal that prisoner may have been." President Wilson's Attitude. Wilson was a strong advocate of Wilson and his southern advisers are going on undisturbed by the reports of the lynchings, and that he made several pre-election promises. The president, it is plausibly shown, has made the fourth and fifteenth amendments. OPERATION FATAL By W. S. Jackson. Weston, West W.

Business Men's League Man Who Endorsed "Jim Crowism" When Registrar of United States Treasury and Played In Hands of His Chief to Hold Job and Then Fired, Asks Race to to Make Him Leader of His People. The Nashville Tennessee, a southern white journal, prints a story that J. C. Napier, formerly registrar of the United States Treasury, may succeed Booker T. Washington as president of the National Negro Business Men's League. The Chicago Defender objects to such a character being at the head of such a splendid organization which has stood for the business and economic progress of the race. Mr. Napier may be all right in the South and may be able to get a great write-up in a southern white daily, heralding his love for the southern white man, but he can never be a leader of this group of people. He played into the hands of his chiefs at Washington when he was registrar, endorsing segregation and "Jim Crowism" which has since humiliated the race all over America; but the race won't stand to have such a man at the head of the National Negro Business Men's League. It were better that the League die than have a man who has brought an everlasting stigma upon the race be its president. There are a class of men of the race who associate with their selfish circle and go to white churches—known among themselves, as "the blue bloods," and when it comes to the race being represented, they want to be the leaders and hold the highest positions in the race. The people here and elsewhere should be opposed to such leadership and let it be known. OF THE RACE" News Criticism from New York and Not Believe Play Will Be Full of Thrills. Color In Dealt With. D IN STAR ROLE. Play. Play Great and Strong. Black Blood Marries White of God Are Life and Work." that the public would not take to it and that the play was repellent. The play has one-seventh Negro blood in his vela, his father is a power in the railroad and one-seventh Negro blood in his Yale with honors. He learns, however, from his father after he has become an educator, that he father married a freed woman and that he has one-seventh Negro blood in his vela. Upon learning that an heir is to be born Folk rushes to a doctor and buys him a computer scene Hillard, in the audience of Deegan Folk, captures the audience when he concludes that he must him that to stop the birth of the child would be unjustifiable murder. Folk dives twenty-four hours have passed since the birth of her child and she is waiting for her mother to come out of the crosses the room. She fights on until, hearing the cry of her mother, she pulls out of the crosses the room. She is embarked on the audience gap. The mother standing in the doorway, the folds of her nightgown back in view, her face twisted with the pain and anguish of her discovery, slinking husband and hurts at him the bitter accusation—that he alone is the one who has wounds and they carry her back to her house. When she recovers he pleads weekly for her forgiveness—not, however, as one would in a court of pents it, but on the plea of the race. Their son is their son, as much as her father is his father, for protection. When distinction is due to God as between races or colors of skin? "He is your son, not mine!" she screamed. And he leaves to disappear, as said, to become a white flannel plantation proprietor in Cuba. He takes the lord to Cuba with him and buys a tobacco plantation. They are shown twenty years after the play proper, seeking to procreate and work. "He is your father and work." To his old friends in New York, father and as mysteriously disappeared he has been hailed and with Andre for the north pole. The play closes showing Dodgin Folk and his boy grown and about ready for college. The father showing admiration for his son, saying his greatest gifts of God and life work. Characters In Play: As Deegan Folk, Robert Hillard is more than interesting. He is well known for his gorgeous voice and his first popular role in the role he plays he soon draws the sympathy of the auctions. He is an honor student at Tole and one who has triumphed in athletics is great. Miss Katherine MacDonald, as Louise Catherine, and she possesses a radiant personal charm. Miss Alina Gale Haynes plays and expression, and Frank Tumble Cooper is distinctly pleasant as Dr. Eleanor Rifkind, who Romford favorably impresses, although the full bloom of youth seems too evident to associate him as a college chum and even the most delicate situations are cleverly treated as not to give offense. Dr. James Grimac, a graduate of New York Globe, the few writers to view the play with unprejudiced eyes, strikes the nail on the head when he suggests that the play is unpleasant. The unpleasantness is eliminated in the treatment people who profess to object are expressing not their own opinion, but a polite reflection of what they think they ought Marked attention has been paid to the importance of the piece in particular being very pleasing to the eye. Not since "Uncle Tom's War" was published, the race problem play of such dramatic power and conviction. "Uncle Tom's War" is the abolishment of human slavery. "The Pride of the Race" makes an appeal to the audience to abolishment of mental slavery. It is the S. A. BOYD DIES Corinth, Miss. Jan. 28—Rev. S. A. Boyd discovered this life Saturday, Jan. 1.

FILES A PROTEST The way the old soldiers look at it the film may be a marvellous production, a gripping appeal to the senses and the heart, but it is too dark. The North was all wrong and the South right in the Civil war. It holds up the heroism of the Nights and other lawless acts, the teething the helpless. The veterans regard the K. K. as something on the order of the "Night War" and other lawless acts. The Thaddeus Stevens as a debauchee, a moral pernil whose illicit passion for a colorful bureaucrat brings him to the warmer, the warmer, the warmer, not strong for a picture which they regard as an attempt to win the war. Khan. Incidentally, while the play is declared to be historically accurate, it has Stevens carrying on his amours with the enemy, and the结局 the detachment was dead and buried. COWARDLY AND DASTARDLY Commander Neek filed with the appeal board the following statement from the Washington, D. C., official organ of the G. A. R. giving the reasons why the picture: "The bishop is invited to give a piece of that merciful production, 'The Clansman,' and 'The Birth of a Nation,' based upon a poem that he seemed that the people of the country would treat them with deserved contempt and they would not." The book, "The Clansman," had only a limited sale, among the unreconstructed worshipers of the Lost Cause, but "The Birth of a Nation," based upon it, has grown to be a public insult and unsane. The whole Ku Klux Klan was cowardly and venomous to the degree, and it is a wonder, good sense of the good people. South endured its degrading injustice as long as they did. With all the contempt that the southerners pretend for the race, with the lack of ability, world-knowledge and force of character, which has been attributed to the down-trodden race, yet the southerners would make out an exalted heroism. In a war upon a race which was everywhere inferior in numbers to them, and still more, inferior in social position and education. It was cowardly, because it was those who boasted their superiority, descending to sneaking midnight ralds upon the humble huts of poor freed men, frightening and even killing them. There never was a redeeming feature about the whole disgraceful Ku Klux Klan system. Owing to shrewd management and much artistic ability, the museum has wide publicity in the North, and its exhibitions are attended by numerous visitors, an amiable and treacherous, as poisonous to the minds of the raring generation as anything else. The Union and the exalted courage of the men who fought to save the nation, only the most debased of mankind engaging in it. There have been protests from the Grand Army of the Union, where "The Birth of a Nation" has been exhibited, but these are not the degenerate, mind-polishing exhibition should have arraised, at last, decisive action has been taken. The patriotic sentiment of the grand old man of the Union and well-wishing as to the Union cause that the board of censors prohibited its exhibition in the good sense. The managers, who are coinning money out of this, appealed from the Attorney General Turner, to whom the appeal was made, has upheld the action of the Union, that will meet warm echo in the hearts of every loyal and public-spirited man and woman The film has been rejected in Ohio, was considerably deleted in Boston and in Pennsylvania, shown in Denver only after a court injunction was obtained, and in that injunction the judge stated in his opinion that if there had been any feeling of race hatred in a community, the authorities would be fully justified in prohibiting its being shown. MAKES SHERMAN LOOK FOOLISH: At the hearing Monday afternoon Sherman was grilled by S. M. Brewster, attorney general. SHERMAN STATED THAT ROSS WAS THE FIRST LIVING MAN THAT EVER QUESTIONED THE HISTORICAL ACCURACY OF THE FILM. Brewster called attention to the misrepresentation of Thaddeus Stevens, and several other points that Sherman admitted he did not know ever had appeared in any historical records. Then he admitted that an extra hundred feet of film had been made, portraying the wonderful advance the Negro has made since the war. "WHY WAS THAT EXTRA FILM NECESSARY, IF THE FILM ITSELF ISN'T PREJUDICIAL TO THE BLACK RACE?" ASKED BREWSTER. "WHAT WAS IT? BURRAGE?" Sherman saw the pitfall he had dug and knew he didn't think any such additional film was necessary. In fact, he said, he didn't think he could prepare it, but he considered the main film so favorable to the Negro that he could prepare it on the end of it to countenact any prejudicial effect it might have. Sherman, exeving Brewster slanted, that "Booker T. Washington himself has cordially invited me to see him," Sherman, Brewster looked at him a moment in silence, knowing Sherman had lied, and knew more questions. Attorney Sherman's opinion is Attorney General Turner's opinion is scout and just that we reproduce it all manner of ways. **UPHOLDS CENSOR BOARD** After viewing the photoplay, entitled *The Art of the Court*, a formal of the opinion that the board of censors is not permitting this picture to be shown. "Over and above the treatment of the novel, the picture is an insult to the North. It is not a contemplative, distraction well-known history regarding the Civil War, the proper title of this picture should be: "IN THE FACE OF THE INDISPUTABLE AT THE MULAN OF THE PRODUCER OF THE SOUTH LONE, THE AUTHOR OF THIS PICTURE ATTRIBUTE THE ACTION OF THE LEADERS OF THE NORTH TO THE LEADERS OF THE LIAISON WITH NEGRO WOMEN." Typifying a confessional leader, preceding, during and after the Civil War, as a low, coarse, vindictive Negro worshipping advocate of mixed marriages having as a mistress a mulatto who wields an influence sufficient to justify the subtitle, 'A Great Leader's Weakness That Is to Blight a Nation.' This immediately precedes Lincoln's call for volunteers. That there may be no mistakes as to who is meant by this coarse caricature, they pick out a cripple to unmistakably denote Thaddeus Stevens. For fear that some one might not understand, there is thrown upon a screen a subtitle that "The executive mansion of the nation was transferred to this man's residence." "After glorifying the rebel flag and the flag of South Carolina, the author dresses a horde of the lowest type of bad land Negroes in the uniform of Union soldiers and cuses them to enact scenes similar to those of General Early's army at Chambersburg, Pa. Not satisfied with even this, the author labels Union officers as 'scalawars white capitals." ... . be because proteo dren of the of white period form of type of pur from a then him who or we shun found sweeter At in in than the white organization wel Ku Klux Klan including we of organization of rights Brush up you can will not birth to this mama mama this mama tored this screen the the books which pr the heart of the South INDORSED OR Larbern, I thought of Ms. Kitchin when I read about Indoor picture by Claude Kitchin, I.

CHANGING SENTIMENT RACE IN AMERICA is approaching a unique position in the reconstruction period they were held up as objectspathy. Homes were offered, school advantages extended,by given to enjoy the rights of citizenship. In a measure opportunity to work out our own salvation, the house of homeschool protected, encountered, the race more rapid progress than any other in history. But sun so die out between the North and the South, finally intermarriage between the two sections in this, the colored people from poor, despicable pitted, have arisen to a partial realization of their now becoming competitors, economically, socially leafluous has come, and today the peace of certain is disturbed by the clash of arms in an attempt to supremacy by the rule of the iron hand. These, we know how to deal with the Negro problem. Let I know what that means, but not satisfied with their archenemies of our race come North and dictate policy here. So persistent have their efforts that North has become first less active, then passive, and now no longer do voices of our defenders reverberate in the press. Few are the ones on public platforms, crave sending us from the assaults of the enemy. Only occasionally does take from its lethargy to voice honest opinions against some unjust attacks on our race. Day by day discriminations intended, insults or degrade us creep in. To the color man cannot serve his country without being reminded of his honor and to feel it keenly. Under the dome of the capitol, for the preservation of which colored men died, segregation stalks about. The defining voice of Chief Justice Fuller is heard no more. Lynching, arraignments, and the violence of the police and peacetime stagnant Jim Crow laws and segregation have not decreased one lot. Would you play rights and authors are engaged in a farneous work of effort attempts to villy, to degrade and to misrepresent our race before the public. In the spot where Lincoln, Douglas, Sumner, Stevens and a host of courageous men stood and fell, the defense of a then defenseless people, today stands Tillman, Wardman, Vardman, that has been done. And the question arises what are we going to do about it. The times demand men of action, minute men. If we are to justify our existence, if we are to deserve our name and the record we have made, we must awake, shoulder the harness and meet these men. We are no longer children to be led by the hand; we no longer need champions of other races to our cause. We have the material, the brains, the energy among ourselves. We must arouse the slumbering Glendon Ethiopia. We must fight for the last time if it comes in the garb of the church. We must fight to the last time the formation of separate public institutions on the basis of color for such a division is artificial, unnatural and unjust, and on such division no man can rest in peace. We must educate our people to fight every individual, and we must keep before our eyes the words of ex-Go, Pillshire.

The plants offered an advance of 2½ cents but was refused by the men, and following the usual bent of 2½ cents on mud, they couldn't rule. Col.

And yet our generosity is so great that we bid them their port and hasten to give them employment, many times in preference to those of our own who have been tried and proven worthy.

In billions of dollars we already have destroyed times of our own, what would happen we we to be engaged in a war with or other nation? The enemy within our ranks would be far more dangerous than the one we would open face. Is it not about time for Americans to open their eyes and stick to who can be counted upon to stick to them? Has the black man ever a striker, a destroyer of property and life because he was not given more cents' wages?

Justice of England, is not its demand their rights? Why staging the sneers and taunts he they hold in their hand the antlers. It is because they have wanted to lose their race even rose, in other words, they have wanted to keep for a time, but only for a time. The Jew in some instances is man, while the Chinese, Japan, liberal share. It is significant to strike while the iron is hot away and the adjustment of new be in the conference demand be just behind them. The Jew LOSSON AND HIS HOSUNTER designated Jan. 27. Twenty and did not forget the Negro; he lay Mr. President may hold the laurels, but there will come his Jewish laurels may be broken in our necks and desecrate T. Washington, to our minds the American Negro is not the white folks' Nigger sort, high as that of his or his famous notice on President Wilson set down the bars of justice and the South or the young college central government have more women and children by the sir in the ascendancy of either white ministry had better undo of wasting time in South America that country. The men of government for protection. If it were the president, and your aid-del-ampers of this country. IT IS NEEDLESS TO SAY the Jewish people are always up and doing, that is the reason they have made such wonderful strides in the face of such great pain in almost every country on the face of the globe. They place in the sun along with other nations. This is the problem that 600 delegates at a recent congress discussed, believe that now is the psychological time for the re-establishment of Jehovah's law of the eyes of the united, great people. Our attitude great his Jewish personality becomes submerged. As Lord Reading, Sir Rufus Isaacs, Lord Chief Justice of England, is not generally known to be a Jew. Why can the Jews demand their rights? Why should they not go on begging for mercy, taking the sneers and taunts heaped upon them as their world-money and charisma. It is because they have gained strength by union, have never wanted to join the country, have helped their brother to rise as rose, in other words, they have stopped History has proven that there is no way to keep a progressive people down, it may be done for a time, but only for a comparatively short time. The prejudice against the Jew in some instances is fully as great as that against the colored man, while the Chinese, Japanese and all other dark races are in for a liberal share. It is significant of brighter days for the battle has cleared away and the adjustment of racial standing is begun not only will the Jew be in the conference demanding to be heard but many dark races will be just behind them. The Jews are good pace makers, let us follow them. PRESIDENT WILSON AND HIS SOUTHERN CONSTITUENCY. President Wilson designated Jan. 27, Thursday of this week, as Jewish R.I.P. Day. He should not forget the Negro; he should designate his birthday day as their lynch day. Mr. President may hold the Jews up to his white fellow countrymen as his laurels, but there will come a day, and that is not a distance when his Jewish laurels may be his Negro willows. A president of the United States who can sit on his gilded slone and put his foot in its shoe will be one of our beloved dead in Booker T. Washington, to our minds is not the most presidential chair. The American Negro is not the note carrying nor the lickspits; neither the white folks' Nigger sort, but the cultured man, whose ambition is as high as that of his or his family are demanding fair play. We are now serving notice on President Wilson of the United States to be either let down the bars of justice and open the gate of protection to race in the South or the young college man will use his chemistry to help him succeed in the business and the help of this central government have murdered and raped more than 75,000 race men, women and children by the sanction of a government which claims to be far in the ascendency of either Turkey or the sale of Gum. The Southern white ministry had better use its influence in the Southern states instead of wasting time in South America introducing lynching and禁禁 prejudice into that country. The men of "70 are serving their notice and are not given, then the responsibility will not be our shoulder but the man rest on you, Mr. President, and your aid-de-camp and allies, the associated press and the daily papers of this country. WILSON'S UNPOPULARITY MEMBERS OF THE NEW YORK Stock Exchange to the number of three hundred and fifty showed plainly their feeling towards the nation's chief executive when at a banquet his picture was thrown on a screen, they booed and blissed it, while cheering to the echo pictures of actresses and athletes. To make it more pronounced the same thing occurred when it was shown a second time. What happened at this banquet in New York would more than likely happen in every other northern city, as a failure it is admitted, is esteemed president is a howling success. "There is one thing certain, he hasn't made a jiffy with ten million people, and they will surely count some when election time rolls around, to say nothing of the other millions who will do their best to retire him to private life where he can continue his "watchful waiting" policy as long as he likes. UNDER THE NEW LANSING-WILSON doctrine, the American citizen who stirs out of the United States forfeits the protection of his country. It is not observable that other nations advised their citizens to get out of Mexico nor is it of record that they have been treated as have Americans there. We can play the bully with little Haiti, but we seem to be unable to do so. We are not able to outrages it adds signs of belligerency. "The sense of greatness keeps a nation great," wrote a poet once. This nation, under this administration, seems to have lost even the sense of greatness. NOW THAT HENRY FORD is back home safe and sound again we breathe easier. His conception of the magnitude of the war and his ideas of the temper of the peoples who are now at each other's threats, perhaps it not now so blunted. In his efforts to become poor before death might overtake him, what he has spent in his war against wars would have done in the past. In the case of the hud taken some millions of his wealth and dropped it in mid-ocean. Scientists claim we all have a weak soot let we excuse him this time. REV. CROWTHER SAYS—and we agree with him which stops all further discussion—in dealing with African colonies the powers should be looking forward to the time when these tribes will begin to assert their rights and demand the franchise.

These young men return to their tribes and take up the work of teaching the people who are eager for education, and Africa is becoming slowly but surely educated. EVENTUALLY THE WHITE MAN WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE BLACK. IN JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALA., the eternal question is being solved in a most natural way. Three thousand, six hundred and sixty-eight deaths were recorded the past year against 4,910 births. Of the deaths there were 1,579 among white people and 2,089 among the colored, while the birth figures showed 3,440 whites and 1,470 colored. With 619 more colored people dying than are born each year any good mathematician can figure out just how long at this ratio it will be before the color has faded out.

Let us determine with all our hearts, not only to do our utmost toward building up a strong economic foundation for our race's future, but, following the footsteps of the Great Master of us all, may we "learn to love one another," have faith in and co-operate with each other, believe in our race and go forth determined to do our level best toward making every man, woman and child of the Negro race, by efficiency in unselfish service, as deserving of respect as the members of any other race, whether they be white, yellow, red or brown—Southern Workman. Poor Satisfaction.

Aren't you feeling well?" Poor Satisfaction ABDUL-BAHA True Happiness, Wisdom and Progress. The Dawn of Knowledge. UNIVERSAL LOVE. All God's prophets have brought the message of love. None has ever taught love, and none has ever agreed in saying that love and kindness are best. Love manifests its reality in deeds, not in effect. In order that love may manifest its power there must be an object, an instrument, and ways of expressing the love principle; there is love for the family, for the country, for the political enthusiasm; there is also the love of community of interest in service. These are no ways and means of showing the power of love, unseen, unheard, unfelt, altogether unexpressed, unmanifested. Walt Disney, for example, would be unseen, unheard, unfelt, quenching thirst, causing seed to grow, etc. Coal expresses one of its principles, that electricity is shown in the electric light. If there were neither gas nor electricity the nights of the world would be dark, and there would be no instrument, a motive for love's manifestation, an object, a mode of expression, a love of spreading love among the people of humanity. LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS. Love is unlimited, boundless, infinite. Material things are limited, circumscribed, finite. You cannot adequately express infinite love by finite means. The perfect love needs an unselfish instrument, absolutely freed from fetters of every kind. The love of family is limited; the life of blood relationship is not the strongest bond. Frequently members of the same family disagree, and even hate each other. Patriotic love is finite; the love of one's country causing hatred of all others is not perfect love. Compatriots also are not free from quarrels among themselves. The love of race is limited. There is some union there, but that is insufficient. Love must be free from boundaries. To love our own race may mean hatred of all others, and even people of the same race often dislike each other. Political love is also much bound up with hatred of one party for another. This love is very limited and uncertain. The love of community of interest in service is likewise fluctuating: frequently competitions arise which lead to jealousy, and at length hatred replaces love. A few years ago Turkey and Italy had a friendly political understanding; now they are at war! All these ties of love are imperfect. It is clear that limited, material ties are insufficient to adequately express the universal love. BEYOND WORLDLY POWER. The great unselfish love for humanity is bounded by none of these imperfect, selfless love, possible to all mankind, and can only be achieved by the power of God. The unselfish love can accomplish the universal love, but all be unified in this divine power of love. You can be unified by the power of the sun of truth, and reflecting this luminous love on all men, may their souls be illuminated, and dwell evermore in the radiance of the limitless love. Remember these words of the Lord: "Remember how hard you hurt you let not your hearts be fettered by charge you not to the contentedly on the beds of negligence, prisoners of matriarchal arise and free yourself from its chained." CAPTIVE TO MATTER. The animal creation is captive to matter; God has given freedom to man. The animal cannot escape the law of nature, when man may control it, for he, containing nature, can rise above it. The power of the Holy Spirit, enlightening man's intelligence, has enabled him to discover means of bending many natural laws to his will. He files through the air, floats on the sea and even moves under the waters. All this proves how man's intelligence has been enabled to free him from the limitations of nature and to solve many of her mysteries. Man, to a certain extent, has broken the chains of matter. The Holy Spirit will give to man greater powers than these, if only he will strive after the things of the spirit and endeavor to attune his heart to the divinely infinite love. When you love a member of your family, or a compatriot, let it be with a ray of the infinite love! Let it be in God and for God! Wherever you find the attributes of God, love that person, whether he be of your family or of another. Shed the light of a boundless love on every human being whom you meet, whether of your country, your race, your political party or of any other nation, color or shade of political opinion. (Continued next week.) AUTHORS AND BOOKS Review of New Books, Pamphlets and Other Literary Efforts Submitted to The Chicago Defender. By D. W. Johnson. "Racial Episcopacy—Reasons," by Dr. R. L. Lee, is a treatise setting forth in a very forcible and convincing manner the reasons and needs of a colored bishop of the Episcopal Church. Besides the concrete argument made by Dr. Lee, he has assembled an array of powerful editorials and excerpts from the leading fair-minded members of the church. The volume is bound in both cloth and paper. Cloth binding, $1.00; paper, 75 cents. Published at Greenville, Miss., by the Southern Publishing Company. The history of the colored race in the Episcopal Church has been a long series of battles to secure the election of a colored bishop. Faint mutterings began back early in the nineteenth century, when, after many solicitous appeals from the colored membership, resolutions providing that a colored bishop be elected, settling forth the various reasons and advantages therefor. These resolutions, while apparently favorably considered, like all others introduced in every conference since, were fortunately rejected. The need of a colored bishop has been thoroughly recognized, but for various high-sounding reasons set forth, it has never been attained. When one reads the masterly plan of Dr. Lee, the fair and reasonable opinion upon the subject, there is no other conclusion to be formed except that Dame Prejudice has played her hand and is now able to obstruct standing in the way. To read between the lines it is clearly seen that four years ago she sliding over white conference is the main bugaboo. There are 2,000 colored Episcopal ministers, and among them is a man who is a bishop. They are earnest, able and efficient, and are possessed of all the courage that are the requisites of a man to fill the high and responsible office of bishop. Their work is divided into 100 with a membership of more than 300,000. (To be continued.) When Delia Scored.

In Oak Forest, ILL, is located the Cook county infirmary, or what is better known the institution for the incident persons resident citizens of Cook county. Oak Forest is about twenty-two miles from Chicago on the Rock Island Railroad. It is in county for between 3,500 and 4,000 persons. The Tuberculosis Infirmary Connected with the same institution is the Cook county tuberculosis sanitarium for the care of the tuberculous patients of the Cook county tuberculosis hospital has a capacity for about 80 patients. The equipment and facilities for caring for tuberculous persons are very good—in fact, they are the most common those found in most institutions of like character. The medical staff, nursing force officers, are fully competent and subject to regular service examinations. It is the policy of the institution to admit all deserving individuals on the same terms and conditions. Accommodations This institution has a splendid lot of resources. It provides open air treatment for those patients in the infirmary. There is a dedicated room for them.

Treatment at Said Institution: Treatment at Said Institution. We understand that up until a short time ago the treatment of all races and ethnic groups in the United States was not the same. It is rumored that recently a southern gentleman (?) from Kentucky was seen fit to impose upon the poor and unfortunate (because any person confined in this institution is poor and unfortunate) to the same place, and the same kind of persons his southern prejudices and unfair treatment of persons of color simply because they happen to have flowing through their veins many drops or a few drops of blood of African descent. We have no doubt that the treatment of these poor and unfortunate people has come from so many of the patients that we have sent out there that we believe there must be some truth in these charges. We want to warn Dr. M. that if these things are true, it is cowardice. We have no doubt that the treatment of these poor and unfortunate patients on account of race or color; that patients should be classified according to their disease and not according to their color or race. There was a time, and in fact, a great deal of prejudice and unfair treatment against his race, the Jewish. This is the first time in twenty years that there has been any charges against the authorities of the Cook County Institute of Law, and the State of Virginia, and the people, and we trust that the head nurse, whom we understand is from Virginia, and Dr. M., whom we are informed is from Kentucky, will learn how to treat a human being as a human in their oil-up and the way in which the people of the public money, fairly and humanely. There is no disposition or desire on the part of the colored people to unsc中有 and ask for any special privilege or right to be allowed to be treated at the same deal and fair treatment as the hands of those who are employed in public service by the public. We know Dr. Waterson to be an honorable, upright and splendid gentleman without the least sceptilla of race prejudice, and we don't believe that he would for a moment use his high office or allow those under him. If in his power to prevent, to impose any unfair treatment, or any abridgement of any of the rights given to the Indigent poor at the Cook county institution. Will Dr. M. and the head nurse of the Oak Forest T. B. hospital bear this sentence in mind: Noblesse oblige? doubly convinced of the wisdom of your stand. The pleure is enough, to arouse the spirit of hatred in the heart of the humblest man. I agree with you, war alone will wipe this stain from the conscience of the people; and we must prepare for it. Sound the call of warning, the masses will hear you. I glory in the courageous stand of race men in Georgia. The growing spirit encouraged by you to die in defense of home and those dependent upon you is the dawn of a new future full of meaning for the race. "We are going to stop lynehing, if we die to the man," should be the slogan of the race. If you will encourage that spirit you will accomplish as much for human progress as have the immortal deeds of Lincoln. Yours truly, W. A. Plant. Defender a Worthy Effort.
