The bill was not降级，and the race issue may be precipitated in the debate which will surely occur on the floor of one or both houses when the adverse result is reached, for the bill is petitioned for a降级. The bill is降级，and James Wolf, leading petitioner, is in District Attorney Polletier's office. The bill is intended to prevent the defeat of the Negro race from the American Covenant, chairman of the pointed out that it contains a serious flaw in that it would also make baseball fallout. One section of the bill would prohibit any person from throwing, releasing or shooting a ball at the body of another person.

FUND Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 4.—When the news of the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington flashed over the wire, the chairman of the trustees board telegraphed: "The trustees will not fail you in your hour of need." When this was published in the papers, there were thousands of expressions that the people of this country would do their part to see that the work of Dr. Washington goes on. The race is doing its part and the business is being carried forward. Here, it will not be found wanting in adding the erection of the Booker T. Washington Memorial. Beginning at home, the active campaign for funds was started among the teachers and workers at the institute. The first day the local campaign netted $1,000.00, and it has just begun. It is expected that the race raise $250,000 and from the present outlook, it will be done. In order to make the machinery and cost of collection may be reduced to a minimum, it has been decided by the trustee board that no agents or special solicitors shall be appointed, and that all funds collected shall be sent directly to, and acknowledged from Tuskegee Institute.

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.

Cinelannati, Ohio, Feb. 4.—William Outclat, a white boy whose eyes are filled with the demon race prejudice and because the members of the race were better football players, has started an effort to make trouble keep their Wills High School. While feeling has been brewing against the race for some years, the sons and daughters of the race have been in a position to show the rights and keep on the course of school, even though efforts were made to keep the Wills High School open. An effort was made to integrate the race and make them feel inferior, but the young men who had brain and minds would be reserved for white boys. He said his parents were in the wrong for taxes on their property as well as whites and did not think of being segregated. Other week-kneed boys, called "goodles" among the whites, in order to not be "ungentlemanly," as they called it, would be the first time the yards and play like afraid kittens. The white boys then made the remark that if the boys continued to come to the front yard, they would leave the school. Superintendent Speaks. Superintendent Condon, commenting on the situation, said: "If the boys don't leave we have no power to hold them as long as they are above school age. However, they will not be allowed to enter any other school. Because they are educated, they have the right to abrogate the state law, which permits no discrimination in color or creed in the matter of education. No action will be taken against them. They have no right to ask for the dismissal of the colored pupils or those who care to leave school." Leaders Disisyal. It's the same old case of disloyalty to the men. A few members of the race's daughters are given employment in the public schools and the "would-be leaders" sit quietly by and don't open their mouths to their children are being robbed of their children. The "Jim Crow" schools in the state have been gone so far as to speak in churches the propriety of having separate schools. Because of these kind of leaders, Cincinnati is now the hell-hole of Ohio. gClincnnatt Today. In the yielding of the leaders to the spirit of separation and segregation, this city has become one of the worst holes in the South. By a few race men have been left in the public schools, and mouths shut, a race man or woman can not eat anywhere down to: they can starve or thirst for water. The feeling of segregation has become so bad that it is because the "race leaders" here have laid down their rights just because a few of them are given jobs and told to keep their mouths shut. It's the same way that the race men are allowed to assume leadership here. If a respectable race man and his wife pass through the city, tired and hungry, they will be in the public schools, where there are a number of old shacks in which are restaurants and saloons, mostly gives.

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."

Politicians depend on gaining office by their ill treatment to the race. This man Edwards in particular is an officer of the Methodist Episcopal Church who is sending missionaries to South America. C. W. Pearson, the secretary, is a high Catholic in the state. All persons who have friends in the Latin countries should send them a copy of the following circular letter sent out by Chas. G. 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 Bagalusa, La., Feb. 4.—Because a race man here had a claim against the Great Southern Lumber Company a representative man of the race was arrested for vagrancy. John Reece conducts a pressing club and enlarges pictures. He had the manhood to sue the company, and for this the officers have hounded him and arrested him. Here, as in many sections of the South, members of the race are failed because they stand up for their rights and act as men. There is every reason that he will beat the case, for the reason that the best people are with him and are willing to testify in his behalf. The substantial people of the city are becoming tired of the officers of the law arresting working men and those who are in business when they have no real cause. SCHOOLS FOR WAYWARD GIRLS. Hampton Graduate Starts Movement for Betterment of the People Help Cause. Hampton, Va., Feb. 4.—Race women in Virginia, during eight-long years full of hopes and disappointments, have struggled to do something worth while and immediately necessary for the wayward girls of their own race. Acting through the Virginian State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, these pioneers and leaders in social service work have raised nearly $6,000, have bought a farm of 147 acres at Peake, in Hanover County, Virginia, and opened what is known as the Industrial Home School for Race Girls. The word wayward has been purposely omitted from the school's title. These women of Virginia, working with their able president, Mrs. Harris Barret, a graduate of Hampton Institute, and a successful settlement worker, feel that the emphasis should be placed on ideas of home, industry and school, rather than reform, correction and waywardness. Virginia race club women have received from their white friends, including some of the most influential and artistic women Virginia has in private and public life, over $20,000. Best of all, they have won, over $100,000, and over $1,000,000 in honor of Virginia, the honorary Inordenship and sympathetic co-operation of hundreds of white people. Working together in a group of wayward men, they have received for a splendid cause, they have helped for the Industrial Home School an appropriation from the Virginia Legislature amounting to $5,000—and the promise of more in proportion as the school helps to solve the difficult problem of handling successfully a group of wayward colored girls. VETERANS ORGANIZE Detroit, Mich., Feb. 4—Members of the race who fought in the Spanish American war were sent to camp of Spanish veterans at 14th and Catherine streets, where they have been indoored by Department officials. They have been indoored by Department master George A. Dick. A step in the direction, the organization will be helpful in guiding the path to the highest sense of citizenship. ANOTHER BANK OPENS.

Will Be Up to the Jurors to Take Word of Police or Widow and Two Accused Men. Providence, R. I. Feb. 4—Attorney William H. Lewis threw a scare into the camp of the state prosecutors today when he accused Brown and Spellman, accused of the murder of Dr. Mohr, would testify in their court. Monday the 10-year-old and his testimony differed from that of Heals, the state's defense. Mrs. Mohr paved the way on men when Friday she swore on the stand that neither Brown nor Spellman made the conviction, and the police claimed: that they simply hung their heads. She also swore that the corpse was the victim of any plots. Brown and Spellman may give the same testimony and then have to decide either with the widow or Widow. Mrs. Brown to Take Stand. One of the principal witnesses for Victor Brown will be his wife, who was a mother of the child. He is expected to take the stand after Mrs. Mohr. He has not been connected with the conspiracy stories by any of the state's witnesses. Witnesses have been summoned to the court to take the stand. He is a race attorney, who will provide that he somewhere else on the night of the murder. When Brown, who will be the last one to take the stand, is put on, there will be a big sensation. Brown's case comes from the案卷. The case is the private secretary of Dr. Mohr in an effort to wring from her lips the names of the doctor's woman patients whom he made thousands of dollars out of. She was the only woman to have been a case case of the private secretary for no names have been put down, just figures in the book. Rumors are going the rounds that there are thousands of dollars that are missing. If such a case has been found, the case because attorneys have contended that the motive was robbery and not murder that Dr. Mohr met his death. Lawyers Cushing and Fitzgerald will start the case. The jury and they will be followed by the two race lawyers Edward and Lewis. The defense for Mrs. Mohr will close this week. Then there are two other defendants who will be the trial trial of Mr. Brown from William H. Lewis to course of counsel for Victor Brown, expects to summon eight or ten witnesses in his behalf. Heir: Sellman; the other boy who is charged with carrying out Africa. Moller's death plans, may have a dozen witnesses. Both Brown and Spellman are anxious to take the stand in their own behalf as the case is being brought to trial. The trial is undecided on that point.

Adoption of War Amendments RACE TO FORM POLITICAL LEAGUE Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 4.—A movement is on foot to organize a political league among the young men of the state of Tennessee, the object being mainly to consider matters of interest to the welfare of the race. Encouraging letters have been received from interested young men in Chattanooga, Memphis and Knoxville, and preparations are well under way for a meeting to be held in Nashville in the month of April, when the organization will be perfected. This organization hopes to be 25,000 strong by the time of the presidential election. Only young men between 21 and 35 years of age can become a member of this league, and every member will make an oath that he will work in the interest and welfare of his race, and not individual interests. Undivided interest will not be allowed in this league. B. H. January, who has been a leader in the matter, is very optimistic as to the future of the organization, and he will pull for Nashville to be headquarters. Delegates from all over the state will be in Nashville in April to the get-together meeting.

Judge Mahoney or the Kunnemel case on Tuesday took from the jury the case of Gertrude Hart against the Cort theater for refusal to allow her to occupy a seat on the parquet floor, after selling her a ticket, after Miss Hart had presented her case, on the ground that she had not been refused personally. July 3rd, the Hart identified the purchased three tickets for the price of the performance of the July 4, giving one to her sister, a Brown, who was to join her later at the theater. She presented two tickets, one for herself and one for her guest, a Mrs. Roberts of Boston, who was of much darker hue than herself; the ticket taker, after having accepted the two tickets and passing Miss Hart in, glanced up and saw Mrs. Roberts, whereupon he then was told them that there was a mistake—that the tickets were not for her performance—and referred to the box office, where they were told that Negroes were not permitted to occupy seats on the parquet floor, and two tickets were offered them for the gallery, which Miss Hart refused. The case was taken from the jury on the ground that Miss Hart was not refused; that the tickets were sold to her and that she had been passed into the theater by the ticket taker. The third time, Robert was the one objected to. It was said that the technical issues such as these cannot be successful, and the case is not the same. followed. Rev.

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.

No telling yonder, no weariness. No disappointments, no more distress. Faith bright, the past all understood. We'll see that all the way He led was lost each year, and the discrimination goes on.

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.

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.

Note—Did you ever hear such rot? The slaveholder used to read to the bible, "Sorcans, obey your masters," but was it right?—Ed. THE DAI: TRIBUNE. A Paper Publication. 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.

AS THE TREE IS DENT so will it grow, likewise home environ and the guiding hand of a father and a mother mean everything to the actor building of the child. Statistics prove that crime among our is steadily on the increase. Something in our social system is rewrong and that something can be traced right back to the home. for instance, could be expected of a boy whose father perhaps is a dri his mother a slip-shod, careless woman, his play ground the alleys or and his associates situated the same? What, for instance, could be expected of a boy or girl who move it is termed the middle class, where father though honest and hardw is mated with a woman who cares more for the social than the pride of life, who lives far beyond her means, who is interested in clubs and societies that have for their object the betterment of hum in general, but who leaves her own children to shift for themselves grow up like weeds? And again in our highest social strata we find mothers and fathers the care of their offspring from the cradle up to tired help, while spend their time at the golf links, in banquet halls, over card tables, ting, etc. True, there is a certain restraint over them, but it differs from the parental kind. In the days of long ago children were brought by rod and rule, there was a watchful eye constantly kept over them the result that they were the ones who on growing up made history. Today our criminal courts are overcrowded with boys and girls between ages of twelve and twenty, and the charges read from misdemeanor murder. A fine example of this twentieth century civilization. How many modern parents know where their boy or girl is of an ing? How many endeavor to find out whether their associates are a proper sort or not? How many attempt to make the home more attri than the street, the poolroom or the dance hall? How many make fidents of their children, enter into their joys and sorrows, in other guide them with love rather than with fear? Occasionally a "dark s" is found in a well regulated family, but this is the exception not the This appalling condition can be remedied if parents will only give to their attention to the lighter things of life and more to those they br into this world. THE POLICE have their hands full these days trying to keep the hold-up men and murderers from taking complete possession of the town. The only place a respectable citizen is safe from these law breakers is in fall. The streets, your home and your business place are easy prey and when it is further known that many of the police are said to be in with the gang you will realize that Heaven is the one place for you. WANE OF DEMOCRATIC RULE THE NEW YORK WORLD (Democratic) is burling epithets at the Republican National Committee because the new apportionment of delegates will give a smaller representation to Southern states, which never help elect a Republican candidate. The particular complaint of the World is that the decrease in representation will be in states that send colored delegates. If the World is so solicitous for the welfare of our delegates, it can find plenty of room for agitation within the Democratic party. The last Republican National Convention contained fifty-five colored delegates. The Democratic Convention contained none, except that a colored alternate from Colorado was seated on the third day of the convention when his principal became ill. Now let the World and all other Democrats shout themselves hourse over lack of representation for us. The Democratic party has forever killed all confidence that we might have had in them the way they have treated us during this present administration. We had reason to believe before these mis-representatives were placed in high offices that we would at least receive fair and just treatment, no more or no less than that accorded every other worthy American citizen. Wilson publicly pledged himself to give us this said fair deal. What he has done TO us the world knows; what he has done for us is yet to be discovered. to be discover. We are told this mongrel party do not want our votes in the future, in fact they prefer to go down in defeat rather than bid for them. This is one time they will get what they wish with a vengeance, especially in national politics, often in local politics it is the man that counts, not the party, if we need not be so particular when voting as to his political faith. Formally we are not the only ones who will give the Democratic party a side birth in the future, the feeling is almost universal. It is impossible to fool all the people all the time. Some of us were fooled once, never again. --- IN ONE OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS a club was formed by the scholars membership to which was denied those of the Jewish race. The latter quickly and effectually protested with the result that this organization was thrown open to all races. Nothing like fighting for what you believe to be right. THE REAL ARTICLE. NEVER GIVE UP the old for the new, the French chef, the German baker and the skillful Jap have all had their chance in the South. With the opening of each new and pretentious hotel there goes down to Dixie one or the other or all, and after a few months they, with the retinue of French waiters that go with them, wend their sorrowful way back to the East or West. They can not compete with the brunette article who is famous for her fried chicken, corn bread, muffins, sweet potatoes and the like, so progressive hotels are now advertising that they employ no foreign help, and have real southern cooking, so they are getting the business. The South has learned that substitutes are never as good as the real article. All along the line efforts have been made to replace the colored help with that of any other nationality, but the movement has met with only partial success. It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks, likewise it is hard for southerners to get accustomed to anything but colored help. This is the main reason why the South is the logical place for the great bulk of our people, if willing to work they are given the opportunity, which is more than can be said of the North, where the labor unions in the face of their own best interests, shut our workmen out for no other reason than prejudice. We make a favorable showing in the North because of fewer numbers, but we find hundreds of buildings being erected without a black face on the job, which is not true of the South. Our northern railroads have no brakemen, firemen or engineers, the South has them. It is an up-hill fight in either section but we are on the firing line and intend to stick.' FIVE MEN were lynched by a mob in Georgia recently and the incident passed without comment. But when a few white Americans were killed by Villa bandits there was a loud cry for this country to go to war with Mexico forthwith. Would it not be a good plan for this superior (?) race to sweep their own doorstep first? room to protect any "Possum Hunter" brought before the bar of justice, and when the sign was given to a juror who happened to be a member of the order, his duty was to see that a "not guilty" verdict or at least a "hung jury" resulted. Applicable in a criminal case, it must of necessity have applied to civil suits. Here is the greatest danger against organized government. Our courts are planned not to persecute but to prosecute; to bring the stern hand of the law upon violators of society. In our court we find the safeguard of home, of self and of government. Break down our organized government and anarchy succeeds. The "court house" sign is a high crime against law and order. Under it no man would be safe, his property would be in jeopardy and tyranny would reign. Mohs of all description seem to be a special product of the South, a lawbreaker of any caliber need but intimate that he is going on the war path and would like company, to have hundreds of ignorant, misguided human beings following him like a pack of wolves. Some great calamity must overtake these people it seems before they come to a realization of what they are doing and it will come as surely as night follows days. --- WILSON IN 1912: "Under my administration the colored people will have justice executed with liberality." Wilson 1915: "It wouldn't do to appoint a colored man as recorder of deeds, the southern members would raise a row." Isn't this too bad. It reminds one of the statement that he "inclines" to appoint Taft to the supreme bench, but "party exigency" forbids. Nothing like strength of mind. FOOD FOR CANNON IT SEEMS THERE IS NO ONE MAN who has a monopoly on being a fool, the woods are full of them. At this particular time when "preparedness" is the keynote one of these bright lights comes forward with a scheme to put 500,000 men in the military service by simply turning a hand. He says: "There is no overplus of labor in this country, but we do have a class constantly increasing, of men who idle away their lives, who are detrimental and wasters. I refer to the Negroes, especially those in the cities. Why not make our proposed army out of them? To take 500,000 or half that number and to train and discipline them as soldiers would pretty nearly settle the so-called Negro question." This gives us a pretty fair idea of what some people think of us—simply hired gun target for the nation. The intimation is that we are not fit for anything except to be a soldier—a slap at the profession of the soldier as well as at us. In the first place when the country shall need armed defense, there will be an obligation resting upon every citizen, whatever his color, his place of birth or his antecedents. If the country needs this army of 500,000 it is the duty of the government to make up that army indiscriminately of American citizens in order to maintain its potentiality as a ruling power among nations. Soldiers never should be mere mercenary dependents, but patriots serving not only for the little stipend they get but for the glory and security of their country. Patriotism reaches a low ebb when it proposes to hire substitutes to preserve its institutions and traditions. "WHITE" SAFETY FIRST. THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER has gone on one of its annual rampages and from St. Louis to Cairo it is out of its bank in many places. The backwater from smaller streams, unable to empty into the Mississippi, is driving hundreds of lowland dwellers from their homes. Unlike human beings the turbulent water is no respecter of persons, the rich, the poor, the black, the white allike are all swept before it. It would be an even break except for man's interference in this particular case. Penitentiary Commissioner John T. Burkett of Little Rock, Ark., learning of the break in the Arkansas River levee at the state farm near Cummings, Ark., ordered all WHITE convicts immediately removed on a special train and left the colored convicts to be transferred by steamboat the FOLLOWING DAY or the day after. Of course if they were caught and drowned like rats all well and good. The social scale between a white and black convict apparently is quite different. And yet we are told to love our enemies. THE ALLIES have about concluded that they cannot wipe Germany off the map as easily as they at first supposed, and Germany is finding out the game will have to be called a draw for they cannot exterminate the Allies. Of course if they both continue to keep up the slaughter there will remain in a few years nothing but a grease spot of both combatants. Meanwhile it is well that we prepare. THE GROUND HOG came out of his hole safe and sound, sniffed deeper the cool air as he glanced all around, to see if his shadow somewhere he could find before or beside him or even behind. The sun from its hiding came out—mean old thing—he saw it, and now we'll have winter all springs. WILSON ON TEDDY'S TRAIN. TO A CASUAL OBSERVER it looks very much like Mr. Wilson was making a desperate attempt to board the train chartered by our own "Teddy." Every speech smacks of "preparedness." Well, they say wise men change, fools never, so we will have to give him credit at this late day even though we have a sneaking idea that it is just a political move. Because he's the President of those United States we courteously listen, and by the same token because "Teddy" when President showed us rather than told us what was best to do we are going to give him our votes next election. That's being neutral is it not? Ans.—Yes, it is not. HOWARD P. DREW is what might be termed some more sprinter, a dash of seventy-five yards in 71-5 seconds is nearly as fast as a crowd on State street disperses when some wild-eyed man florishes a revolver. DON'T FORGET that contributions to the Booster T. Washington memorial fund is the one best way to show your appreciation of the good work he did for the upbuilding of our race. ering the ambition, inspiration and incentive of her best material among her colored membership. It is easy to see why there are only 225,000 material Episcopalians, compared with 1,500,000 members of other Methodist denominations. The church works against great evil. While there are thirty bishops among the other denominations, traveling all over the country, mingling with their people socially and spiritually, there is not one colored bishop to represent the colored membership of the Episcopal church. A single instance—which is wrapped up in prelude and social caste—will show the urgent need of a colored bishop: A northern white minister who shook hands with members of a colored conference in South and North America "brethren" was driven out of town and escaped after threats of personal violence. A colored district superintendent in a southern conference, desiring to consult with a bishop stopping in his city, was compelled to go around the alley and ride to the bishop's floor on a freight elevator, along with the ash cans and refuse. I voice the sentiment of an eminent divine: "Everything else being equal, black lips for black ears are decidedly preferable." By D. W. Johnson. In last week's issue, review of "Racial Episcopacy—Reasons," the idea was expressed that there should be a colored bishop elected to preside over the coloured conferences and have general supervision of the work. It is a fundamental truth that the colored man of a given ability and capacity can do more for the uplift of his people than a white man. There are many people, but the main reason is that he comes to his people by social contact. He undertakes their desires, needs and aspirations. He enters into their thought, their material and spiritual life. He is able to bring to them an inspiration and an incentive to progress that no other man can. There is no sound logic which can argue the lack of the need of the establishment of a colored bishopric for the 325,000 communicants of the Episcopal church. It is easy to see the injustice and inequality of the situation by a mere comparison of the foreign mission work. Spain's Rich Platinum Deposits. Platinum deposits of greater extent and richness than those of the Ural mountains in Russia, which furnish about 90 per cent of the world's supply, have, it is announced, been recently discovered in Spain. There are 325,000 foreign members of the church, and to give them proper supervision there are ten bishops living among them: Two in Africa, one in Europe, one in South America, one in Korea and Japan, two in China and three in Southern Asia. In the United States there are 325,000 members, and not one bishop. In Africa alone there are two bishops, with a membership of only these people in the foreign countries are entirely unhampered, free from prejudice; from social castle, free to mingle with one another as they choose, yet the membership provided with ten bishops, while that of the United States has not—and is denied—single representative amongst their people. The action of the church in the matter is wholly unanswerable, arbitrary, prejudiced and unchristian-like. It is a case very similar to that of colonial days—taxation without representation. Besides the injustice of the action of the church, she works an injury to herself by smoth- Mr. R. S. Abbott, L. L. R. Editor of Chicago Defender. Dear Sir, with congratulate you upon an article and in the Defender Saturday, January 29th, pertaining to the "New Political Leadership for Afro-Americans." The article you have a very comprehensive knowledge of the political condition in Illinois and the nation, and especially the First Congressional District. You have sounded a warning that will meet the approval of the masses of our race, and no doubt it will have its effect, and I am glad to see the Anglo-Defender, the leading paper of the country, take a stand for the political rights of its people. You are doing a great work through the columns of your paper and the Defender shall never die for the want of us as long as it comes to the aid of those as long as the future as it has done in the past. Please check for one ($1.50) dollar and fifty cents for the renewal of my subscriptions that I may continue on the role of her many thousands. Yours for success. H.A. Watkins, 3150 Indiana ave.

Dear Sir: The Mayor Plepant said some very good things about our race as a whole, and praised it worthily, but he forgot the most important and that is the blot that is placed on us—LYNCHING AND BURNING AT THE STAKE whether guilty or not. It is our hope that with the help of your worthy paper and with the rapid advance that our people are making, that all this will come to an end real soon. Truly yours, J. B. Editor Chicago Defender. Dear Sir-- It is esteemed a great pleasure and privilege for me to write you this letter, but I wish to congratulate you on a wonderful paper and the forward and successive way you take up the race problem in our great weekly paper. We were given a copy of your paper by our kind warden and it brought pleasure to all of us unfortunate who would get to read it. We would like very much to invite you to speak to us while here, and hope some day to have the privilege of meeting you. Trusting that this will meet with your valued consideration, I am very respectfully yours. Thomas Wells; 1000 Collins st., Joliet, IL.

One pleasures sought in selfish mode. And traveled fast the downward road. Till people shuddered to behold A dwarf in body, mind and soul. He could not see the wonder grow. That God's creature could sink so low. He called himself, e'en in his plight. Superior—God made him white. The other chose the better plan— Respected God and his fellow-man; Developed, battling for his goal. A giant intellect, heart and soul. His superb body ne'er knew abuse; His soul with wrong ne'er made a truce; Yet some fools call him—spite of fact— Inferior. God made him black. Oakland, Cal. Possibly Great Truth Here. "Success in politics," said Uncle Eben, "depends a whole lot on bein' a good guesser." Mr. R. S. Abbott, Editor. Dear Sir: Your paper has brought joy to many of our hearts while we are confined at San Quentin and it is my desire next nspil to send the paper as a gift to several of my comrades here. We all think it an extremely fine paper, and wish to comment on the fearless and straight forward way in which you write up the race problems. It is my ambition to start life anew and open business. When so, I shall be an agent for the Dealer. It was through it that I learned or the existence of $2,000, and with that money I write to state again that I shall enter into business and become an agent for your most worthy paper. Very sincerely, Charles Broadus, San Quentin, California. --- Mobile, Ala., Feb. 4, 1316. Editor Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: The Defender is the soul of inspiration here, a light that all can see. Its growth among the people can be appreciated from the fact that my sales are increasing. I am selling 125 copies and expect to sell a thousand soon. I believe that I am doing God's duty in my effort to place the paper in the hand: every race man in the city. I am a man in Christ.
