The bill is not only aimed at the commission but also prohibit all arrangements or games which compromise personal dignity or refute Clinton on player loyalty. The bill expresses the belief that most "doctors" were weak mentality, because they lacked the ability to defend and decided they should be protected against themselves. J. Albert Rutledge, representative of the doctors, Jr. Dellin Jr., Jr. assistant corporation counsel, made no objection to the section of the bill aimed at the "doctors" but opposed it. Ethos of "The Birth of a Nation," which engages in or manages any game, device or amusement tending to arouse prejudice among any citizen, class or religion that is punished by a fine of not more than $400, or by imprisonment of not more Measures, Brackett and Devin said that the section would probably be the showing "the Dilith of a Nation" last year, which would include the censorship of plays in Boston in the hands of a board of three, composed of the chief justice of the municipal court. They believed the present system of censorship was able to take care of any Edward A. Trank, a restaurant keeper who had been the "doller" section.

Citizens and Pastors, Assisted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Meet City Council. Buffalo, N. X., Feb. 4—Strong protest against permitting the "Birth of a Nation" film show to be put on in Buffalo by a delegation from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Delaware Avenue Methodist Church, and E. C. Fellows, secretary of the federation, spoke against the production. The council adopted a resolution by the Director's office to be followed by the board to view the film privately before an attempt is made to show it at the Star Theater. The resolution also directed that the film be presented and that the reproduction had been barred on the state of Ohio. In justification for the barring of the film it should not be permitted, he said. The film appears to be what is baset in human history, and shows it gives rise to race antagonism."

Edwards in quest of votes. Edwards' Secretary Explains Mistake TELLS HOW LETTER OF CENSUS JOB APPLICANT CAUSED INDORSEMENT. Washington, D. C., March 24. C. W. Pearson, Secretary to Congressman Edwards, today issued the following statement concerning the story that Mr. Edwards endorsed. "On seeing the account of the affair in the First Georgia District: unfortunate and false position of having colored a colored man for a census position I began to look through my files and note books, and here are the cases in the case: "He had given several friends and acquaintances who had written him in AMONG MANY OTHERS. I DID NOT TROUBLE WITH IT. BUT TOOK IT FOR GRANTED FROM THE SPLENDID STYLE AND WRITING OF THE LETTER, AND DID FROM THE FORMATION MEN GIVEN AS REFERENCES, THAT HE WAS ONLY IN ALL RIGHT BESIDES. Consequently I wrote just about the same letter I had written to others, asking the same favor, without submitting it to Mr. Edwards, except for his signature, along with upon me to have done the right thing to my mail. Relying I presume, when in a hurry, all of the letters to go in that day's mail, leaving them to me to seal and mail I think it but fair, all should have, especially I Edwards, that I should give out these facts, in order that no one may be wronged by what was purely a mistake on my part. Mr. Edwards was entirely ignorant of the letter and its contents, in order that it in handing him the mail for his signature, having relied upon me. "Certainly I would not have written the letter had I known the party in question was a negro. I am as bitterly opposed to negroes holding a position in the office in handing him the mail for his signature, having relied upon me. "Certainly I would not have written the letter had I known the party in question was a negro. I am as bitterly opposed to negroes holding a position in the office in handing him the mail for his signature, having relied upon me. "I regret it exceedingly, but it was just case of 'being fooled at long distance' by a shrewdly and well-written letter. "I wish it distinctly understood that I am to blame and not Mr. Edwards." "The fact that the letter shows on its face that it was written under the impression that he was a white man, and the fact, too, that Mr. Edwards withdrew the endorsement by wire as soon as he learned of the mistake, ought to convince any fair-minded man who was a case of 'mistaken identity'—"From Savannah Morning News. WHAT EDWARDS HAS DONE IN CONGRESS The above explains that the affair came about through a mistake. I withdrew the letter referred to by wire as soon as I learned of the mistake. I have a clean record OPOSING NEGRO APPOINTMENTS IN THE SOUTH, HAVING MADE A FIGHT TO OUST THE NEGRO COLLECTOR OF THE PORT OF SAVANNAH, THE NEGRO COLLECTOR OF THE PORT OF SAVANNAH, THE NEGRO MAIL CLERK ON THE ROUTE FROM MILLET TO HAVE MADE A FIGHT TO OUST RUCKER, THE NEGRO INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR OF GEORGIA, AND HAVE PROTESTED AGAINST THE APPOINTMENT OF NEGRO ELECTRONATORS IN THE SOUTH TO AID IN TAKING THE CENSUS. The occurrence of the above mistake is to be regretted, simply as a mistake through a misapprehension which Mr. Pearson has fully explained, and it is a mistake that is likely to occur through any office having a great correspondence under similar circumstances. In his being or a tangle full of sense in his head ought to and will be at a glance the letter in question was not meant for a negro. MEMBERS OF RACE INNOCENTLY JAILED SCHOOLS FOR WAYWARD GIRLS.

Smythe Laid to Rest Last Honors Paid to Bethel's Fallen Leader —Loved by All—Floral Tributes Many and Beautiful—Tears Shed as Final Tribute Is Paid "The Birth of a Nation" Is Answered by The Black Man's Part in the Bible --- "No parting yonder, no sad good-byes, No pain, no sickness, no weeping eyes, But best of all my Savor I shall see, No cloud will come between my Lord and me!" Saturday morning the reunion of the Rev. T. A. Smythe were held to rest. Saturday in all the miserable weather the friends of Jethiel's popular pastor the church till it was filled and then the sands were turned away.

The precise order in which commented upon by all and Mr. R. E. Moore deserves great credit for his ability in arranging the funeral. This is the fifty-two years of history. Dr. Smythe was an uniting worker; although his health started to fall him shortly after he was born. He was a great man to be among the poor. When he saw they needed clothes he sought to clothe them, when he saw they were sick, he sought to get medics and thought that they had something to eat. He was one of those ministers who when he saw that you were sick, he sought to get medics and thought that prayer would help but that one needed other help also. He was always willing to lend a hand to the uplift of those who were sick. He fought death not because he felt that the work could not go on, but that he wished to finish his task here with the help of others, where he felt he had been called. His loss is mourned by all. Ministers, and those in every walk of life have shed a lot of its remains. He was loved like a brother. "It Is So Hard To Die." The last word he said upon this earth were spoken with his family and friends around him—"It is so hard to die with so many loves." He started around me, Dr. Robert, and around the old Charles street A. M. E. church in Boston under the guidance of Dr. Roberts who at that time was pastor and his wife. He was around the old Paul, Pa., and from there to Harrison, he has been pastor of Bethel church in Indianapolis, Bethel church in Detroit and Detroit, Bethel church in Harrisburg the church and helped it pay off heavy debt. Rev. Smythe leaves a widow and a brother to mourn his loss. The past hearers were as follows: Active pall bearers, Rev. H. E. Steward, Honorary pall bearers—Rev. H. E. Steward, Rev. C. Waters, Rev.

LEWIS THROWS SCARE INTO STATE LEWIS THROWS SCARE INTO STATE (Continued from page 1) for the doctor's death because of his practice among women. He also sticks to a strict code of conduct an extensive investigation along that path. Mrs. Mohle will bring witnesses gatore in the next week to present convincing allegations for her death on the witness stand that she was surrounded by friends in her home on the night of her death. Mrs. Mohle enshrine claims he plotted with the woman for the death of her husband. She showed them her correspondence and her discussion with them her relationship Negro servants. They will testify that Mrs. Mohle's only purpose was to keep an incarcerated woman she still loved in spite of her separation. Use State's Witnesses. Following Mrs. Mohr today came two witnesses for the defense who gave great aid in discrediting parts of testimony they were. John Dr. John P. Mohrieses. They were Dr. John P. Mohrieses. Dr. Henry B. Moor of the Rhode Island hospital. Mortzieset was a witness for the defense. Today he gave new information concerning documents made by Chaufeur Healts at the hospital, where Dr. Mohr was brought in dying condition on the night of Aug. 15, 1985. What things you are telling now? asked one of the prosecuting attorneys. "Because you didn't ask me about them," said the defense. The state to show that Mortzieset had expressed joy over Dr. Mohr's death. The defense denied, however, that he had killed someone. The hospital floor or bore him any ill will. Dispute in the Car. "He told me the count that Healts said snares might have been fired by some one in Dr. Mohr's office. He was traughed. The chaufeur told police officials that the doctor's companion, Emily Burger, jumped from the machine and ran across the road, where she fell, accidentally. He further said that Heals declared there had been a dispute between Miss Burger and Dr. Mohr over a dog during a training session. The statements were denied by Heals and police officials when they were on the stand for the state. He also said by Miss Burger's brother-in-law that she had seen him go behind the car before shots were fired, the witness testified. Much of this testimony was obtained by the state. To date, sixty witnesses have testified in the murder trial. Of these fifty-seven were for the state. There are perhaps more than fifty witnesses yet and at least another ten days will pass before the case is ready for the jury. Mrs. Mohr has concluded her testimony and the drama the concerns herself and her friend dom. Thus far the state has produced but one witness who declares of his own knowledge that Mrs. Mohr is guilty of the crime and the promise of 15,000 to stay her husband. Healls Alone Accuser: And not a single witness has yet been part in the negotiations or death plot. The same young man, George W. Heals, told Mrs. Burge that he against Mrs. Mohr says that he thought he saw the shadow of Spollman fire at the prostrate form of Emily Burge. Mrs. W. H.

RACE DEMANDS DELEGATE TO NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Reasons Given Why 1st Congressional District Should Have a Representative at the Republican Platform Making Body in June—Men of the Race Should Make Up the Loss of the South By Securing Their Own Delegates in the North. Last week The Defender, under the subject of "New Political Leadership for Afro-Americans," outlined some of the "challenges" that the cage should take immediate steps to secure. In the interest of the general progress and welfare of the colored citizens at large. In the following articles we shall consider the order named and in some detail. We are now to consider. Should the colored people of Chicago send one of their number to the next national Republican convention? IMPORTANCE OF PRO-AMERICAN DELEGATE It is important that we have a member on the Chicago school board, that we have a political leadership, that we have a political leadership by capturing the ward committee-man, that we have a political leadership that only stands for the best interest of the community, that we have a political leadership and the classes, yet it is no less important that Chicago Aho-Americans should send their children to the com-mit Reubenblatt national delegate to the com-mit Reubenblatt national delegate to the convention are numerous and weighty. Some of them may be briefly mentioned; that is necessary to demonstrate our influence and proper place in national politics. The colored people of Chicago should not be obliged to beg for favor in convention at the hands of the national party and send one of their own race to the convention the leaders of the party will power, but that it is to their advantage to reckon with us in party plans, party policies and party patronage. The people of Chicago will convention have the power, and they will be suited and respected for their vote. But if you have no vote you will not be condemned, and they will longer depend upon other people to do for what we should and can do for ourselves. Second. The Democratic party is now in power and is doing its best to overthrow citizens who have opposed citizens to vote, the only means of protection to property and life in a democracy. The Republican party has long been a party of colored citizens in his civil rights and civilization in the United States. The same influence of capital which secured this rebellion has been through intolerable bosses and bad invasions governments, that the party was suddenly and unexpectedly cut in twain and swept into the next convention the indications are that factions of the party will unite. In uniting, new party measures and priming the party for the work the Afro-American from Chicago to New York present to see to it that in these new measures the interests of colored citizens and immigrants are well guarded and advanced. RACE DELEGATES SMALLER. Third. On account of the reduction of southern delegates to the June convention, the delegates to the delegates to the doubtless smaller than the ever been in any previous convention. Already in the same convention and denied any participation in the session, and property of the race in the South are at the mercy of the farot and the delegates to the convention the 70 or 80 colored delegates were able to address the best conscience of the nation, and their numbers secured a majority. But this last chance is about to be taken from the race by the reduction of colored people in the South, and the people of Chicago should make up for the South by securing representation not only in the state where they are, but in every northern state where they are. In sufficient numbers to make the fight. Finally, we should take one of the challenges of convention because our numbers entitle us to be the necessary to emancipate the race from a kind of public subservience and slaughter of the equality of our citizenship and the equality of our potency and integrity in democratic institutions. No white man, however, can nation tolerates injustice to us as free citizens and can represent ourselves. The most potent reason is nation tolerates injustice to us in the South. We cannot bad example which the race sets in the North, where they can vote, in not votation, as if we can for representation and justice as if we can for representation and justice. White men rightly meet our complaints with the retort: "Why should you wish to vote?" "Why should you will not stand for your race and serve?" IMPENDING DIFFICULTIES The difficulties may be grouped about the supremacy of white leadership; (2) the need for colored leadership; and (3) the habit of colored people to vote for the whites when they should be voting for themselves. At another time we hope to give these people new power. The deserve it sufficient now. The deserve the colored people of Chicago are getting their people open. The success which they have achieved can be taught them that they can by their votes secure whatever they wish in the Secession. More and more are learning to vote for their people.

Southern White Gentleman in the Grave, Mc. Speaking Editorial, Has This To Say About Segregated How Compare the Above With This Which Follows In Issue Jan. 20: Encouraging Race Prejudice. Agitators in St. Louis are making an effort to segregate the colored population of that city. A committee, composed of some of the most influential men in St. Louis, have announced that they will oppose a proposal to isolate the Negro, would have created little surprise before 1861, but it cannot meet with approval in the enlightened era of today. It is unjust movements of this character that keep race hatred alfame. They do neither the white nor the black any good. The Negro is the United States. He has shoulder his rife at the call of his country, and he will do so again, if the occasion arises. In this persecuted race, there are good as well as bad. The bad are, and should be, punished, but those who strive to make good citizens, should not be constantly harassed. The segregation movement in St. Louis will, and should, of course, fall, but the feeling that it engenders, will require years to erase. If the whites were to help helping hand, the Negroes would insistently and affend, the Negroes who violate laws would rapidly decrease. Abraham Lincoln, undoubtedly the greatest American, either living or dead, argued against slavery. What he said in opposition to slavery, is an argument against segregation. The following mages are taken from Lincoln's speeches: No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. When the white man governs himself, that is self government. When the black man governs another man, that is more than self government—that is desolition. Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fall; without it nothing can succeed. He who molds his sentiment seems deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronouns possible or impossible to be executed. Our fathers brought forth a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created Bernhardi, who knows where to spend, and see how much food can be found for practical thought. When Germany in the Middle Ages no question of the moral side. It was written knew that, but power is power, and the weak must submit or be crushed. This is a world for the fit. German philosophy is not questionably is not what a Christ would to grant extent the real philosophy of the world. It is that part of human nature which causes oppression and strife in life, and we must all be prepared to conquer it. We must not be individuals. Proof of its almost universal existing is easy to find. Within the borders of our own United States we have a people who are its victims, also a people who are his resentment in a class called it human is given evidence of it in her dealing with China. Certain of your friends show in their association with each other. The small boy proves it to be a factor in life by treatment of the smaller and weaker boy. Preparedness is the most used and abused word of the present day. There are some who believe that it is simply enough to take on a belligerent attitude, which usually is deceptive to one but one ability to take on it and be reassured. Others believe that it is of power which comes with preparedness gives an inclination to pugnacious tendencies. Still others think that the present war is a kind of accident, an inexplicable phenomena, or at least their need to think of it would lead one to think they reasoned as guided as that. Preparedness means that state of readiness for all exigencies consistent with common sense. It can be carried to an extreme. Let us accept the lesson that Germany is teaching the world about preparedness and the opportunities it will present has not become so improved that weakness is no longer a temptation which invites attack. All other races of men will be prepared for the close of the present war and the opportunities it will present come to us. Let us be ready. If you as an individual try to let each day make you more fit to survive, mentally, morally, physically and financially, you will be raising the standard of racial preparedness. We prepared an individual to fight for us and to meet all emergencies, and we will be prepared in exact proportion to your individual preparedness. Remember, there is surely something new coming out of the present war. There may be a new chance for you, for us, to succeed. G E PROCTOR EIGHT BLACK DOTS.

May the spiritual susceptibility set aglow the hearts with the spiritual glad tidings. May the spiritual fraternity of brotherhood cause a regeneration or rebirth, for spiritual fraternity emanates from the breaths of the Holy Spirit and is founded through the power of God. Surely any affair or move-dive power, through being brought through the divine power, through being brought to God, through the Holy Spirit, is permanent and everlasting in its potency and effect. Has Not Dispelled Warfare. Praise be to God, a physical brotherhood is extant among humanity. But man is not a physical brotherhood warfare. It has not removed warfare, it has not dispelled the differences from among mankind. But the spiritual brotherhood shall destroy the very foundations of warfare, will arrest differences entirely. It will promulgate the one enduring warfare; it will cause the hearts to turn to the Kingdom of God, and all the souls shall be baptized through the Holy Spirit. The material world will be replendent through the lights of divinity in the mirror; materiality shall acquire the light of divinity in the mirror; partake of the eternal peace and glory of the Eternal God, and that which is the utmost purpose of all that the divine prophets will obtain and the spiritual brotherhood will give the world justice, so that not a trace of the darkness of the earth shall come within the bounds of manly shall come within the bounds of security; the prophet of all the prophets will be established, Zion shall rejoice, Jerusalem shall rejoice, the Mosaic flame shall ignite and the Messianic breath shall resuscitate, the world shall attain another power. This is the divine bestowal. This is the Eufulgence of the Kingdom of God. This is the day of illumination. This is the merciful century. We must appreciate these favors for the divine bestowal, that which is the utmost desire and purpose of prophets may today be realized, and all the glad tidings and propheles may be fulfilled. Hope in the favor of God. Look not at your own destructive capacities, for the divine bestowal can transform a dry grain a colossal crop can make of a fifty grain a colossal crop bestows are like unto the seas and we are like the fish. The fish must not look at themselves; they must look at the ocean, which is very wide, and provision for the sustenance of all is there, and provision for the sustenance of all is there, and the light eternal shines evermore.
