Jackson, Tenn. Feb. 11.—The Lane College Farmers' Conference will be held at the University of Tennessee, 25, 1916. The management has arranged interesting and attractive program for each session. One of the special features of the conference is the exhibition of farm products, such as corn, cotton, potatoes, peas, turnips, poultry, molasses, meat canned fruits and vegetables, and potatoes. The exhibits are intended to encourage the growing of a better breed of stock and an improvement in vegetables as well as encourage encouragement in making articles to beautify their homes. The Educational and Religious Conference will be held Thursday morning. "How Can the Teacher and Preacher Co-operate in Order to Raise the Moral, Health and Economic Standard in Their Community?" Is the subject that will be discussed. Last year this meeting was one of the most helpful sessions of the conference, and the one for this year promises to be equally as interesting and profitable. The most notable piece of work accomplished the past year for our people through the influence of this conference is the organization of the "Colored Fruit Growers' Association." The white association refused to permit the race growers to ship their produce through their association, and so the Negroes have organized an association of their S.W.F. from present indications they will be able to ship this year.

The influence of the conference is felt far and near and in many ways and the amount of real good already accomplished is beyond measure. The serving of a dinner to the hundreds who will be in attendance by the farmers' wives and daughters will be "something new under the sun" for such a meeting. Heretofore the women of Jackson have rendered this service but the farmers want their wives and daughters to try their hand this year. FIRE CAUSES BIG LOSS. Destroy Home and Valuable Lodge Paper.

They were the members of the commissioners who would take the commissioner and then state whether or not it would be allowed to run at a local theater, or not the grand theater, where the film has been scheduled to run, and others interested were present when the race men were present. The argument of the grand theater, where the film has been scheduled to run, and others interested were present when the race men were present. The argument of the business men was that the picture should not be shown because it would only tend to create in the audience a hatred for the race. W. H. Watkins of the Business Men's League read several excerpts from communications of movie companies for allowing the presentation of a picture which, he said, always caused the minds of the young white person to become politically "instead of naming the photo-dramma." The Birth of a Nation, it should have been named "The Assassination of a woman," a writing to, the Montgomery Business Men's League, for Negroes. Watkins said she would be the picture at Boston and heard so you would "till a little Negro." This re --- him "if never saw a soldier more anxious to go to war than this young man. He was impetuous and over another. He exhibited this throughout the campaign. He was every inch a soldier and could always be called upon to his duty. These were the words of Col.

Washington as head of Tuskegee University, has met a formal meeting of the Brooklyn Armstrong association in the interests of Hampton Institute, which was held in the Brooklyn Armstrong Association.

The work of organizations among us, such as the Virginia Armstrong Society, is important part in the development of the black race. It was through them, for instance, the health handbooks were printed, and they helped to read than the books sent out by the Health Department that another edition of the white people in the rural districts." Tuskegee's New Head. George McAney, a trustee of Tuskegee, sold of Major Moton that he would not meet the requirements of race.

Employes of the roads, including the conductors and trainmen, are becomable insulting and disgraceful that respectfully are not the cause almost fear to travel. The main factors with lust in their eyes go so far as to go into coaches and offer to pay women to meet them for ulterior purposes. No温实 for the disgrace to the race almost fear to travel. A Noticeable Case. On the Atlantic Coast Line train last week, the baggage master of train "was in the coach for men and women of the race, and the himself by the side of a respectable woman, and in mouth, engaged in conversation, and a moment later was in the act of careless her and told her that she could see him at a certain place. His actions were unbecomable, and everyone in the coach was embarrassed. It is to have this line that respectable women of the race not use this road unless it is imperative. Whenever a well dressed woman enters the train, the train crew ask where she is, and begin a conversation, using insulting ingratiations. While such insults are going on right before their faces, race men sit idly by and do not open their mouths. They neither resent it manfully or diplomatic, nor when they are in the way of the car. When the baggage master, in the car of Jack Johnson of men of the race, the car is not in contact. Chas. P. Hayes, Buffalo, N.Y., has the courage to make protestations. All along the line this road has become the "white man," and claima it has become dangerous. "The best whites" are hearing about the minion in which the trainman treat women of color, and the white man came in from the minion, a white man when he termed "hgood looking women," when he termed "hgood looking men," when he termed "hgood looking men," sat down beside her of the conductor, sat down beside her of the conductor, sat down beside her of the conductor, and carry on so badly that one lone woman was "y" as the other woman, went to the white man and appealed to his better JAMES HILTON DEAD.

ABLE EDITOR SPEAKS AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, V., Feb. 11.—Dr. Tecletott Williams, director of the School of Journals and Archives, has been on the annual address on "Founder's Day" at Hampton Institute. He paid a high salary, and began his career as "General Armstrong in his day and generation began half a century ago and for a century he was a leader and powers to save his land from the harvest of wrongs for which none today is aware." He was an earlier past, foreseen. Born in the Hawaiian Islands, he know a primitive way of thinking, and knew the capacity of a race unified by the years, alike for varicolored imagination and for evil. He knew its besetting nature. He knew its passionate nature. He knew its passionate devotion to its tribal lays and its incapacity to resist oppression. He knew its dower were in his knest. Most teaching of all, he knew, as only those who in his life have known, is race, its love, its capacity to follow, to profit by leadership, to give insight, its love, its light and example of inspiring service. "This knowledge and this early experience furnished General Armstrong a strong foundation, the nature, the plan by which its powers could be quickened, its weakness stayed and its growth directed in channels that would future a gold and expiring fortification. All his boyhood days in Cohu, lighted and guided his way into the army of ammunition industry, a day with no exceptions in its ordered hours; folk music inspiring, his presence in the army of present; killing care and grief of heart, and arousing faith which forgives men and weapons against carving things and less idleness, wearing out the youth of a race, industrially young."

In ordinary times, when no worldmovements stimulate, the chief exaporation of woman resides in jealousy. It differs from male jealousy, for the male is generally possessive, the female competitive. I suspect that Euromenus is often when he said that woman is womanly at ally. She is too jealous for that, and many of us have observed the annoyance of a mother when her weds. Competition is always violent, so much so that woman is generally mocking or angry if a man praises her beauty, or if she is young and able to make a claim on all men, she tends to be still more virulent because her claim is on all men. This is partly due to the marriage market and its restrictions, but it is also partly natural. No doubt be it is natural, woman attempts to control man, but generally considered ignoble by the civilized world. In this respect we must accept that an assumption of coldness is considered a means of enticing man. It may well be that, where woman does not exhibit jealousy, she is not being so suggestive to the man a problem, but jealousy? On which follows the desire to make her jealous, and entanglement—W. L. George in Atlasiic. The claim is made that a Maya inscription in Yucatan fixes the date of a building in that region at 200 years B. C. How accurate this claim is, only experts can tell, and probably will wangle about it half a generation before deciding. It established, it will be the oldest date in the history of the western continent—but how modern compared to the records of the lands by the Euphrates and the Nile! Premised Not to Repeat.

POLITICAL OUT LOOK OF THE SECOND WARD An Able Presentation on Matters of Grave Interest to the Voters —Race Awakening and Will Vote for Themselves. In a few weeks the race of the Second Ward will be called upon to select an other alderman from this word to the City Council. The council will troth the ward and the race constitute about 70 per cent of the republican CONTROL OF THE FEW: During the past the warl boss selected the candidates for the people on the theory of maintaining his individual power for selfish and personal ends with little or no regard for the interest of the people in general, and the people in particular. Under this old regime although the people were in the majority of the Republican party, the people were unable to secure either of the aldermen. Wards which flow from the political power of the people, while here and there a political tool was given a little place for his part in eliminating the people as a factor in the political patronage of the warl. The political leaders and the city at large were given the impression that the French were the best allies in their franchises for a few polite dollars and a few petty jobs to leaders, imitating the demeanor of those who proclaimed in the démonstration of the French on the other hand the race people were affiliated with a swarm of johannes, amateurs, and other intellectuals fighting each other for loss against the other. In this situation the race has struggled in the Second Ward to be free to get its rights and political considerations, and their racial tools "open their backs." AWAKENING OF RACE. The people started a movement in the Internet of the race to secure its proper recognition in ward patronage and for this purpose directed their force towards housing the people towards securing elective positions. In which their leaders would be free from the dominion of political power, he left the office to the and advance the interest of the people who are absolutely responsible for their elevation. The bosses and their henchmen and their corrupt dollars for a time confused the mind of the people and divided their interests and their efforts with the whole country as inspired was the election of the colored and abderman. The primary afforded a very timely and appropriate means of aid in the campaign for the education and awakening of the people. Under the banner of the race held by Wright, Cowan, Griffin and others they met with their general interest in the post-campaigns. But those campaigns were not defects and the least that can be said of them is that they were stepping stones to final victory.

Notwithstanding this awakening on the part of the people, and their first great fundamental success, the politician boss still refused to give to the 70 per cent of his coloured element of the Republican party. His due recognition in the்க POLITICAL CRISIS FOR RACE VOTERS In the face of the present situation with the leadership of the ward in the hindquarters of the city, with the great majority of the impolltions given to the white minority, the people of the ward are compelled to take action against the unfruitful distribution of political consideration on the one hand and to seek an even up in some measure their side of recognition on the other. In the interest of the race many of the wards have been nominated a man 2x alderman of the Second Ward in the February primaries. The wards have been in this order to secure that rightful position to which they are entitled by reason they numbers and political strength. They have been given the power to convince the political bosses that candidates by the bosses against them will find in the future little support among them.

They believe that it is the right and duty of the people in the primaries to candidates and to do so without regard to the wishes of political bosses and their benchmen. They believe that the ultimates hereditary residues in the people and that no host or group of petty bosses have any right to sell or profit away this power. They believe that the time has passed when the people who constitute 70 per cent of the population are compelled under the political practices of the party to beg for petty political bosses. They insist from now on that the ple in the primaries uninfluenced by public considerations will promote and improve public officers who will serve the interest and be responsible to the colored whose right and duty it is to elect them. RACE TO VOTE FOR THEMSELVES. The political history of the people has been marked by numerous political pinnings in return for political services and the exercise of the franchise. The people have not been accustomed and many of them are not well-educated and the importance of using their vote and their franchise for the purpose of electing representatives is small and what they should have. It is also necessary that the people shall representatives and political leaders at the ballot boxes and repudiate for all those who have been posed upon them from without too often reinforced by the corrupt influence of the white man's delicacy.

(Press Service, Department of Health, February 2014) If there is any one thing that is important which children should have it, it is a playground. Why public playgrounds are a necessity in large cities. A playground, then, is an indispensable adjunct of every school- While Chicago has done much in the development of providing parks and playgrounds for children, and the need has been by no means fully supplied. For example, there is a need to build a playground for that child, that playground for boys. This particular school has been designed, and built by way of emphasizing the indifference, neglect, or, both of, the citizens as well as of those whose duty it should have been to care for them. Also, by way of emphasizing the indifference, neglect, or, both of, the citizens as well as of those whose duty it should have been to care for them, the school for the boys of the school, it may be stated that for years an adjacent vacant has been built and could have been purposed for the children. A normal price for property in that facility, it means that thousands of children have no suitable place for their school years in a school that furnished them no suitable place for play and that they have no suitable place for factors in promoting bodily health and vigor. And this school is named after children who have loved children and who believed that they should have plenty of play time and no lack of nice places in which to play. Children should be open, but protect your head with a woo. Look at that sleeping porch crank-how in with a club. You could not drive him in with a club. With plenty of parks and playgrounds the pooh will not be so well patrolled to the point that those who fear draughts are often those with had breaths, contended tongues, tiny complexions and sluggish livers. They complicate problems from their own thirty feet of sewer. Keep yourself in condition by proper watering, plenty of water and free elimination. Snuff that sneeze in a handkerchief for the sake of the other fellow. the back of the other fellow. The teeth of the other peat are quaggae and the feca do not originate typhoid, typhus, malaria and plague. These peats are undesirable associations because they carry the disease and are main to man. Guard the patient from the insect carrier and no contagion occurs. Light is fatal to new all forms of diseases Let the light be light in the house!

In this same car there were able held men of the race but they sat there like "dumb drive cutler." Man From North Objects: The action of the baggage master was witnessed by a race man from the North, Mr. Charles P. Haynes, Buffalo, N. Y. He was a passenger and just passing through, had the courage to take the situation in and make a report of the same. The bluffing of the trainman did not have any effect upon him. He was not used to seeing the women of his race and other races insulted and disgraced as this white man did. His blood bolled—he spoke up, but not another member of the race in the car would open his mouth. Mr. Hayes knew that there was some way to put a stop to these disgraces if the men in the South did not make much of an effort to do so. He wrote a letter to the General Superintendent of the road and made a complaint. The letter was so well written, facts so clear and conclusive against the train employee, that the superintendent gave it special attention and wrote him the following: R. R. SuperIntendent's Letter. "Rocky Mount, N. C., Jan. 7, 1916. Mr. Chas, P. Hayes. Mr. Chas, P. Hayes. Jackieville, Fla. "Dear Sir--I have your letter of January 3, complaining about the baggage of my flight to Richmond to Florence, January 2, alleging that smoke in a colored woman's face, etc. In reply will say that this matter shall re-appear. An investigation will be made promptly." "Yours very truly. "W. H. NEWELL, Genl. Supt." Time to Stop the Disgrace, Time to Stop the Disgrace. It is time to open the South to stop such actions. If it is to keep up it will have its wings around the South and will be like the peril, lynching, members of the race and lynch them with a whimper. Had the men of the race killed the men in their blood for the protection of their kin the "lynching octopus" would not be so powerful in the South and North as "protect our women at any cost." The Cringer No More. The day of the cringing race man is to be no more. The "good nigger" as he is termed by the "white folks" must cease his subservience and stand up and be a real man, if not for himself, for his wife, children and race. The women are demanding men of their race to protect them, to see the fact that no race can go any higher than its women. The real men who have the race to heart have determined that insults and disgrace on trains must stop to that end they will bend effort on a oplish. A. M. E. CHURC...

Dear Sir; Several days ago an article appeared in one of the daily papers concerning the licensing of room rooms for minors, and I would favor the plan. I have five rooms, all minors, and I for one, truly hope the idea will never be carried out. It has been breeding place for crime, that boys meet in them and plan mischief; now I would like to know what will hinder these same minors. Can the officers or social worker stations in them hear all these boys may say? If so, they might as well play with them. Can the officers or social worker get will off in one corner and hatch their own plans. They should be taught that the room room is a place to be shunned. They would be better than a licensed pool room for minors. Just as the social game of carts sometimes makes the gambler, they wine at the home or a friend. The room room often starts the boy on the downward path. So let us hope there will be no sexual room room for minors. Let me find something better for the man. Your truly, Mrs. C. Lewis. --- Mr. R.

MISS HANCOCK IN --- JUDGE STEARNS' CHARGE JUDGE STEARNS' CHARGE (Continued from page 1.) Tells Jury That the Bar of Justice Knows No Created Nor Color-Health-Action Peculiar-Avoids Reviewing Judge Stearns in his charge to the jury told them that it was their solenium duty told them that it was their solenium duty it was equally their duty if the State has proven its case to say "gullify" whatever the consequences, in each case or in each case. The "law" recognizes no color, no creel, the court said, "each man and each woman stands on an absolute equality. You no longer are a defendant is a woman and are colored men. They are three citizens on trial, and you allow any prejudice in solenium feeling excepting an honest desire to do impartial justice, to enter your minds. The "law in regard to principals in a crime," the court explained, "is this. Where any persons are present, admonition is given to any person a crime—in this case it is murder—they are equally guilty with those who actualized a crime. The Alaw must be indicted as an necessary before the fact. If you find she hired, alced, procured or assisted one or both of the other defendants, she is The court told the jury that any concessions are only to be taken as an offer and not as a demand for the allowed confessions of Brown and Spellman were not to be considered as concessions. Judge Stearns advised the jury that he would not men after its verdict. The court finished its charge at trial, and the jury begun its deliberations. THE MOHR MURDER CASE What Mrs. Mohr and the Two Stable Boys Were Charged With. MOHR CASE TO THE JURY Masterful Plea for Brown and Spellman—Lewis Calls Healis the Murderer—Cites History of the Race—Proves Doctor Was Shot in Front. Providence, R. I., Feb. 11. The state judge today when Attorney Lewis wrenched from the attorney at the hospital that Dr. Mohr had been shot in front and not from behind General Rice and would have I. Attorney General Rice and the judge in those were the records and the answer that they were and he himself had written them on the night Dr. Mohr died. But the court brought to the witness stand but nothing gained out of them. Doth denied that they ever made any statement to the judge in any way made the supposed confession. But several objections on the part of the state as to the questions Lewis was asked to judge Storm in a whisper and they were rued out. pledic to the jury Friday declared that he was proud that his own client, Cecil Kellogg, had not jolted "that pack of bish, flendish, gang of Rooks, Ormsby and an innocent woman to prison and to separate her from her loved ones for life."

"The record of shivery," said Lewis, shows that the race man never betrayed a domestic friend and doubtfully we do. "We are not the ones who it is but it always is in a fair light," he continued. "We don't lie in ambush, trown and Scandinavian did not commit that deal." He complains on the fact that there has no noise or public clamor for the life or liberty of any man or woman because of earrings. Earrings, he because of strays from a path of old-fashioned mortality stalks the spectre of justice with blade spitfires. He recognizes the old law, which—haw as old as human life and conduct—the wages of sin is death. It is as inevitable as fate that a joy rides the life of the unknown assasin in lurking in darkness. Fishing read is the land of fame." Blames Books. Mr. Lewis blamed George Rooke, a brother-in-law of the young, unmarried lawyer who was accused of a theory which led to the arrest of Mr. Moel and the servants. This theory, he stated, was founded upon a postal card and years ago by the doctor, naked wife. He then described the alleged activities of the police to make fiction in their thoughts. The police were tortured by third degree methods and they finally threw the officers into the hands of officials with the following confession, "It must be so if you say so." The lawyer compared police tactics to a witchcraft act, and petted person was either compelled to plead guilty or die upon a rack. "Some witchcraft acts were petted witches into a river," said Lewis. "If the woman sank, she was innocent." Sometimes I hope our congress will get a stop to this iniquitous method of mental and physical torture employed by our government. Loving and Devoted Wife. Mrs. Mohr, he said, was a loving and devoted wife. The two colored servants and assassins never committed murder on the promise of money, he added. Lewis explained that he had no brief for the accused woman. "I am submitting to you that if her innocence of this crime is proven, I will be denied," the other defendants are innocent also, he told the jurors. "The whole guess of the state that she instigated the crime. If she did not, that is not a crime. That is all I am asking you. I am not seeking to embarrass her case. The State has failed to prove her guilty by means of a prosecution that has proven her innocent. By the same token, and arguing in the same manner, Brown and Spellman are innocent." For the moment Mr. Lewis lured his wife and spoke to a whisperer, who had gone to their death or life imprisonment for crimes which in later years it was found they had been into Whole Case Up to Healis Everything in the State's accusations, continued Lewis, was based on a story by his thesis, the well-fed, pummed, groomed White State. He said that the jury had been asked to draw inferences that became more and more talking to Mr. Meir they were playing with. When he had completed his graphic description of the many innocent man who had suffered death and life imprisonment, he raised his voice to a scream in the steps back from the furious bench, shouting that the police got the real murderer of his business chauffeur Heilts. Completing his demand, the chauffeur, he paid his respects to the newspaperman and the "fourth estate," he described a powerful press, that is making him a victim of the makes and unmakes laws. Upon the Fourth Estate he charged, the State has refused to bring in evidence. Newsmen have told him he should have taken a little 18-foot seat to get a story from the two boys charged with Dr. Mohr's death. They had to get a story, said Lewis, and what they could do, they made up for in their imitation. JOSEPH S. SHREEVES DEAD On Tuesday morning, February 1, at 1 a.m., Joseph S.

OPPOSE BIRTH OF NATION OPPOSE BIRTH OF NATION (Continued on page 1.) mark, Watkins said, was the result of a fight between two women which showed a race man attacking a young white girl. The girl, as is shown in the image, was wearing a black shirt and thus enclose the attack of the race man. Strong Arguments. The Negroes were quite eloquent in their plan for cooperation among the races in Montgomery. They spoke of the numerous lynchings in Alabama and Georgia, and compared this with Incidents that might happen from the showing of "The Birth of a Nation" in Montgomery. "It will take a long time for you gentlemen to forget the scene shown in the picture," said Watkins, talking to the young white girl, "and the Americanmen will not want the white citizens, nor do not want the white citizens, nor our friends, to look upon the picture as a portrayal of the race in Montgomery." Many compared "The Birth of a Nation" with "The Clansman," long since barred from the screens in the country. Others said the photodrama was not what the producer contended it was—a presentation of history durling reconstruction days. They said the race men and women were the best friends the whites had during the war, always serving as a protector instead of a enemy. In the last few months, a pathetic argument for the elevation of the race in Montgomery, as well as the whole country. Watkins named several states and cities where the picture was not allowed to be shown, and they pleaded that the Montgomery commissioners should not allow the presentation of the picture. The showing of the picture is not without opponents among the white population, although thousands are of the opinion the picture would not interfere or arouse race history. The same is true for the commissioners who decide to put a ban on the picture. It will be another addition to the already long list of southern cities. The commissioners will announce their decision before many more days—in order that the manager of the theater can withhold tickets in case the petition of the race is granted.

After the usual formal exercisees and transaction of business the car was served to the members of the available mother, Mrs. Roberts, and his cousin, Mrs. John I. Johnson.

When you find that your friend or your neighbor Has passed you in climbing life's hill; When it seems that for naught was your labor And the valley keeps holding you still; Then it's time to wake up and to wonder Just how and just where and the day; You could make such a serious blunder That lost you the full right of way. EQUALITY OF MANKIND PIRSON MEANT WELL when he said that all men must even if they are created equal physically, mentally or rounded with equal opportunities. It is this iniquity enforce their rights that gave rise to the need of gays all the problems of government have originated. In lieu, for instance, was secure in his natural rights out of range of the white man's gun. And, too, the Chinese from becoming naturalized citizens. Without as a nation nor as individuals do we mankind farther than to protect life, liberty and security is withheld from the colored man in certain situations of the free and home of the SLAVE. What a selected to public office from the President down upon given their solemn oath to support and defend nation use every means at their command to defend been said that necessity knows no law but it is no that destroys government. No nation has been chosen to the United States, and in no other United States are the laws more disrespected. In long, here mightier than law, the right or wrong consideration. Race prejudice, color prejudice and conceit of the white man is willful. He inwardly believes that even the Creator intends and yet did he not say, "Let him who thinketh he fall?" whoopes are now bidding for a place in the sun riders of the world's population, will he be any that ask when education shall have made them? A wonderful transformation is going on in over millions of today are the subjects of tomorrow. White men, the clock has struck, the time is near, the presser of what is to come. The wheel of ages that can the top to the bottom is still turning and bringing it as it carries slowly but surely downward the race now. Enough of the equality of mankind. JEFFERSON MEANT WELL when he said that all men were created equal, but even if they are created equal physically, mentally or morally they are not surrounded with equal opportunities. It is this inequality and their inability to enforce their rights that gave rise to the need of government and out of which all the problems of government have originated. The Indian, for instance, was secure in his natural rights only so long as he kept out of range of the white man's gun. And, too, we have by law prohibited the Chinese from becoming naturalized citizens. So it appears clearly that neither as a nation nor as individuals do we recognize the equality of mankind farther than to protect life, liberty and property. Even this protection is withheld from the colored man in certain sections of this wonderful land of the free and home of the SLAVE. What a mockery it is which men elected to public office from the President down to a constable after having given their solemn oaths to support and defend a fundamental law of the nation use every means at their command to defeat it. It has been said that necessity knows no law but if it is this doctrine that destroys government. No nation has better laws upon their solemn oaths than has the United States, and in no other country save in these same United States are the laws more disrespected. A public opinion, right or wrong, is mightier than the law or wrong of a thing is a secondary consideration. Race prejudice—prejudice—runs riot. The arrogance and conceit of the white man is aquilateral to him there is nothing; he inwardly believes that even the Creator intended him to be superior, and yet did he not say, "Let him who thinketh he stand take lest he fall?" The peoples who are now bidding for a place in the sun represent more than two-thirds of the world's population, will there be any doubt of their getting what they ask when education shall have made them cognizant of their power? A wonderful transformation is going on in every part of the globe, the rulers of today are the subjects of tomorrow. White supremacy is on the wane, the clock has struck, the time is near, the present war is but a forerunner of what is to come. The wheel of ages that carried the dark race from the top to the bottom is still turning and bringing back its precious cargo as it carries slowly but surely downward the race that is in the ascendency now. Enough of the equality of mankind. PREVENTION OF DISEASE. ING IS OP MORE IMPORTANCE to the public that cause, and for this reason the reports of the health de- biosis Commission should have wide attention. We at there are thousands suffering with tuberculosis and are continually contracting the disease each year.

Finally since we are the greatest victims—that we in our power to aid the cause. NOTHING IS OF MORE IMPORTANCE to the public than the prevention of disease, and for this reason the reports of the health department, and the Tuberculosis Commission should have wide attention. When it is considered that there are thousands suffering with tuberculosis and that other thousands are continually contracting the disease each year, the magnitude of the problem becomes apparent. The campaign of education carried on for some years has not been without its effect on the intelligent portion of the population. Consumptives no longer mingle freely and without safeguards in our present life. In known cases of the disease precautions are practiced more and more. One of the peculiarities of this dreadful disease is that the sufferer rarely believes he is afflicted until he has reached a stage where a cure is almost an impossibility. It is said that our race is more susceptible to the disease than other races. In a certain southern state tuberculosis kills one white man out of every 556 and one colored man out of every 376. It is evident, therefore, that if the terrible malady is to be conquered an intelligent light must be put up immediately. So much has been written in our Health Notes by Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams, who is acknowledged to be the greatest authority on tuberculosis the race has, regarding the preventive measures to be taken, that the readers of this paper are pretty well informed on the subject and the death rate in this city since the establishment of free clinics has been materially decreased. Still the campaign must be kept up unceasingly until this dreadful malady, if not entirely wiped out, is only found occasionally. Let it not be said—especially since we are the greatest victims—that we are not doing everything in our power to aid the cause. THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY MANY MEMBERS OF OUR RACE could give me the query: What has the Negro done worth while? If there is much he has done that has added to the lost, we have simply never taken the time to deliver. We have little or no pride in our ancestry, we did. We need awakening, we need the notion dead; the past is a dead issue; that we must live in the future. other race has a past and whether it equals ours or lighten, reverenced and used for a foundation for we have little to be ashamed of and a great deal to be awkward, and it is to bring out into the open these all may see, that a band of earnest, capable men and association for the study of Negro life. mouthpiece, "The Journal of Negro History," a quarrel which was recently issued, should be in the home of a race containing as it does a fund of information cannot fall to imbue the reader with confidence and dignity generally realized that the ancient Egyptians, high state of civilization many thousand years ago, are the teachers of ancient Greece and Rome, belonging to the family of the human family. The Association the impression that the race is just emerging into the rough its contact with Caucasians. The sun shone race was in darkness and history will repeat itself. HOW MANY MEMBERS OF OUR RACE could give an intelligent answer to the query: What has the Negro done worth while? Comparatively few, and yet there is much he has done that has added to the world's store, and is not lost, we have simply never taken the time to delve deep enough to find it. We have had little or no pride in our ancestry, they were or what they did. We need awakening, we need the notion driven from our minds that the past is a dead issue; that we must live in the present and hope for the future. Every other race has a past and whether it equals ours or not, it is held up to the limelight, reverenced and used for a foundation for generations to follow. We have little to be ashamed of and a great deal to be proud of in looking backward, and it is to bring out into the open these race achievements that all may see, that a band of earnest, capable men and women have formed an association for the study of Negro life. Their mouthpiece, "The Journal of Negro History," a quarterly, the first volume of which was recently issued, should be in the home of every member of the race containing as it does a fund of information concerning the race cannot fail to imbue the reader with confidence and hope. For instance it is generally the ancient Egyptians, who had attained a high level of civilization many thousand years ago, and were in so many ways the teachers of ancient Greece and Rome, belonged to the Hamite or Negro branch of the human family. The Association will endeavor to correct the impression that the race is just emerging into the light of civilization through its contact with Caucasians. The sun shone for us when the white race was in darkness and history will repeat itself. CONCERNING WILSON. ELEVENTH HOUR REPENTANCE is perhaps all the time to talk about getting fire extinguishers.

His condescension as the most conspicuously woven that nothing could be written that THIS ELEVENTH HOUR REPENTANCE is perhaps alright in some cases, but the time to talk about getting fire extinguishers is before, not after, the fire. The New York Sun asks, "Didn't President Buchanan indulge in too much watchful waiting?" The Grand Rapids Herald replies, "Has not been a real analogy between the policy and the attitude of Buchanan related to secession and the policy and the attitude of President Wilkinson to Mexican disorder and disaster?" "Life of Thaddeus Stevens" occurs the following sentence: president Buchanan and his rebellion creed: "He was unaware of new men could write on abler state paper; but he completely under the domination of Southern Democrats real dangers of the situation. His conduct at critical hours regarded as the most conspicuously weak action of nation that nothing could be written that would better meet President than this descriptive sentence espers to being compulsively under the domination of to this he can tribute his political tobogan can be "dited on to give out the bill CHICAGO DEFENDER Uncle Sam Up to His Same Tricks SWEET HAND OF DABURTA LAND THE FREE AND THE HOME OF RACE RIOT MIND TREATMENT OPPORTUNITY JUSTICE AMERICAN NEGRO Again in the U.

We have this going to do anything about IN FOUR WEEKS the intelligent and cultured citizens of the commonwealth of Georgia have lynched sixteen colored people, which is a record breaker even for this state of backward civilization where violence triumphs over law. Despite the emancipation proclamation and constitutional amendments ostensibly conferring equal rights, the world knows how cheaply the life of a black man is held in those regions that are still stained by the memory of a legalized system of servitude. But it would seem by this time that the people of the South would have made at least some small progress toward controlling and finally eliminating mob murder. Instead of diminishing, the number is increasing, and in at least four instances it is stated, it later developed that the persons put to death were innocent of the offenses charged. Whenever Georgia is able to execute legally the leaders of a lynching mob she will have made a step forward that will promise much for her future. The discouraging part is that as disgraceful and degrading as these occurrences are, the "best citizens" appear to have developed a pride in this hideous work. It is a species of provincialism and local conceit of a peculiarly ugly and grotesque kind that produces such a feeling, but it is plain that something of the kind exists among a large class there. As ginously as are the horrors of the European war, man's inhumanity to man is not confined to our brethren across the sea. We have this same hideous story every year. Are we ever going to do anything about it? TEACHERS' SALARIES. ONG. The average of the third graded schools in the city of those paid white teacher schools show that the 456 each. The 9,628 white teacher of $317 each. The tyll tell a far different story encouraged as much as possible where is quite a discrepancy, far too great for the course, is an entirely differed hinds only one point in colored teachers were be derived from that face there is no segregation. Perhaps West Virginia are paying a deserved o SOMETHING'S WRONG. The average of the salaries paid the colored teachers in the rural and graded schools in the state of West Virginia is larger than the average of those paid white teachers. Figures on the books of the department of schools show that the 456 colored teachers are paid $151,550 annually, or $332 each. The 9,628 white teachers are paid $3,075,288 or an average yearly salary of $317 each. The statistics for the higher grades would undoubtedly tell a far different story for higher education for the colored youth is discouraged as much as possible and few opportunities offered for getting it. There is quite a discrepancy between the totals paid colored and white teachers, far too great for the difference in numerical strength. But this, of course, is an entirely different matter and the compiler of the above statistics had only one point in mind and that was to call attention to the fact that colored teachers were better paid than white ones. If any satisfaction can be derived from that fact they are welcome to it. In cities and states where there is no segregation salaries of course remain the same for both races. Perhaps West Virginia is paying according to worth, if that is true they are paying a deserved compliment to the colored teachers. HARD TO CONVINCE THE COST of the war I beauties of the brotherhood have been avoided. Maybe they would have direct things wisely, to convince a majority of IF ONE-TENTH OF THE COST of the war had been employed in describing to the world the beauties of the brotherhood of man, says a Western editor, the war would have been avoided. Maybe so, who knows, but it is so easy to look backward and tell what would have been best, and so difficult to look ahead and direct things wisely. It would be very hard to convince a majority of the people of the Pacific Const that they are brothers to the turbaned Hindoo or Chinaman. What a task it would be to convince the South that the white and black men are of the same stock. For nearly twenty centuries the Bible has had a pretty fair circulation, and only a very small percentage of humanity literally abides by its inspired injunctions. Divergent racial tendencies, the scramble for a living and land hunger are impediments which the philosophy of prophets seem unable to surmount. There are many ways the war funds could have been spent that would have brought greater returns to humanity in general. The tendency is to destroy not to build up, to kill rather than to rescue. Vengeance and hatred fill the hearts that love and respect once claimed. And the end is not yet. AN EXCHANGE SAYS, "we do not believe that the colored citizens of the United States will ever feel the need of going to war for their rights, or that the masses will ever perceive the necessity of armed rebellion against the classes. Both are approaching their rights every day, if they but knew it." We are trying awfully hard to believe this is true but history tells us as far back as records go that nothing worth while was ever gained without fighting for it. And there you are. LET'S GO INTO THE MILK BUSINESS. The Department of Agriculture estimated the value of the milk produced in the United States during the year 1915 was $2,230,000,000. This is based on an average price of twenty cents a gallon paid to producers. We don't know how you feel about the matter, but we freely admit that we didn't think there was that much money in the world. CHICAGO, FIRST IN EVERYTHING, can afford to take a back seat when it comes to hold-up men, thugs and murderers.

MORE STRINGENT LAWS than were ever enacted against lynching will be written upon the statute books of Georgia at the next session of the legislature, according to Governor Harris. If the laws already on the books were properly enforced there would be little need of new ones.

IN THE MEANTIME, DON'T FORGET THAT IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. Art and Intellect Appreciation and Sympathy of Workers and That Workers By G. P. PROCTOR Out of difference of opinion comes much food for thought. When men differ they begin to think and investigate, hence it is nothing more beneficial stimulation. There is nothing more beneficial than this variance of attitudes and confidence for thus are new ideas and knowledge given to them, absolutely true, however, when men are honestly and open mindedly seeking to find the truth and to reveal it to their friends, and any one path is a fact for which we should be grateful, until it is actually found that it is the road which leads to the truth. We should gold, the truth. Men, however, are so given to observing the news of their lives with content of interest that they differ slightly in routes and shirking back cries of rihilete walk blindly on to failure, oblivion the terrible blindness is the most terrible of all blindness. To the unknowing, to those who fail to understand or who, having the power to understand, can difference something to be avoided or even attacked; newness is an enemy, difference is bewildering, mysterious, unaccountable, unusual thing is a signal for either a threat or a snarling and showing of the teeth, according to the circumstances and ideals, political, social or ethical in a life manner. To the savage living in the primitive stage all other men and their cause for chitty and destruction. They are men today in this supposed time of progressiveness, who have minds in primitive stages of development, just as there are men today in this supposed time of the present and were called fools. Men who themselves have accused the world of intolerance have been infamous. The things has produced it, everything has got it wrong feet. Religion, education and liberty have all produced it and suffered from its influence. The philosopher Socrates attempts to teach us that God has since developed into the oneness of God to the youth of Athens and his life. The idea of an individual deity exists throughout the universe in one form or another. A teacher, Christ by name, came into the world for some to comprehend or to be desirable to others and he, too, died a marrow in the right. Men claiming to follow in the footsteps of the broadminded reveler of light have produced marrow creeds and sophistries, which will be the pages of religious writings with its own cause is found in intolerance. Nothing which humanity has ever done can surpass in harmness and cruelty the days of the Spanish and later Spanish. The Furtians came to America seeking the right to believe presented itself they took advantage of by maltreating the Quakers and driving men like Roger Williams from among the world a new conception of the theory of evolution and immediately was the center of an attack by a host of shortcomings since been forgotten. The idea of evolution is being put to test by men to be tolerant honest. It will be found by tombstone. With alone survives all things, not art. Because men are willing to accept superficial and insincere estimates of their fellows and of causes and effects, they must suffer the inevitable effect of the evasion of truth. Because they are too intolerant to heed those who will seek the truth we have the ridiculous spectacle of people preaching, teaching and in every way lauding and seeking liberty, as in America, to its fullest degree donying it to others on the pretext of an accident of surface color. If men were more willing to see both sides of all questions, creeds, complexions and opinions could not make life a veritable battle rather than the harmonious work of progressives it should be. Races would no longer know the prejudice and the child of it hatred if men sought the truth. War and anarchism would die of lack of action as do useless parts in the process of evolution when a new stage makes them no longer serviceable. Labor and capital would no longer cut each other's throats. Truth will eventually win, but, tolerance will help it win sooner. The new and different are not always absurd. The other side of the controversy is not always wrong. The other person's opinion is not always foolish, it is sometimes yours which is foolish. Be tolerant. G. F.

God alone ordereth all things and is all powerful. Why then does He send trials The trials of man are of two kinds: (a) The consequences of his own actions. If a man eats too much he ruins his digests and takes too much to eat, or dies. If a person gambles he will lose his money. If he drinks too much he will lose his equilibrium. All these sufferings are caused by the man himself, and they therefore are their sorrows are the results of our own deeds. (b) Other sufferings there are which come upon the faithful of God, and which suffer from the Christian and by His apostles. Those who suffer most attain the greatest perfection. Those who declare a wish to suffer from their sincerity. Those who proclaim their longing to make great sacrifices can prove their truth only by their deeds, and by being faithful through his great adversity, as well as during the prosperity of his life. The apostles of Christ who standfastly hore all their treals and their possessions that prove their faithfulness. Was their enduring the best proof? Calphas lived a comfortable and happy life, while Peter's life was full of sorrow and trial. Of these two is the life of Peter's father, we should choose the present status of Peter possesses immortal life, whilst Calphas has won eternal shame. The trials of Peter's father his fidelity, acts are benefited from God from Him. God gives him. Griefs and sorrows do not come to us by chance. They are sent to us by the divina mercy for our own perfecting. We must grief for him his god; but when grief comes and sorrows overwhelm him, then will he remember his Father who is in heaven and will deliver him from his humiliations. Men who suffer not attain no perfection. The plant most pruned by the gardeners is the rose, and the more mericorns, will have the most beautiful blossoms and the most abundant fruit. Chastened for His Good. The last chapter with his plow, and from that earth comes the rich and plentiful harvest. The more a man is chastened the greater is the harvest of natural virtues born with the earth. The more a man is soldiered the more mercy he will be in the front of the fierce battle and has received the deepest wounds. The more a man is prophets of God has always been and still is. "Of God I long to lay down my life in the path to Thee! I desire to shed my blood for Thee, and to make the supreme sacrifice." When a man has found the joy of life in one place he returns to that same place, and when a man has found gold in a mine he returns again to that mine to dig for more gold. This allows the internal force and the power of vital energy which natural life in which God has given to be born in him. The West has always received spiritual blessings which God has given to be born in him. The Son of the Kingdom is first born in the East, but in the West the greater volume of sound bursts upon the listening ears. Christie Teachings Spread. The Christie Teachings bright star in the eastern sky, but the light of His teaching shone more perfectly in the west, where the influence has taken over the land of the earth, and spread to a greater degree than in the land of his birth. The song of Christ has echoed over all the lands of the western world and entered the hearts of its people. The people are the firm, and the foundations of which they are of rock. They are steadfast, and do not easily forget. They are like a strong, sturdy plant—when the rain falls gently upon it to give it nourishment, and the sun shines upon it, then does it blossom in due time. They are long time since the sun of Truth, mirrored forth by the Lord Christ, has shed light upon the West, for the face of God has been blessed by the sin and forgetfulness of man. Holy Spirit Speaks. But, now again, praise be to God, the Holy Spirit speaks anew to the world: The constellation of love and wisdom and power is once more shining from the divine horizon to give joy to all who turn their faces to the Light of God. Bahn't all that, and the veil of prejudice and superstition which was stifling the souls of men. Let us pray to God that the breath of the Holy Spirit may again give hope and refreshment to the people, awakening in them a desire to do the will of God. May heart and soul be verified in every man; so will they all rejoice in a new birth. Then shall humanity put on a new garment in the radiance of the love of God, and it shall be the dawn of a new creation. Then will the mercy of the most merciful be showered upon all mankind and they will arise to a new life. My earnest desire is that you will all strive and work for this glorious end: that you will be faithful and loving workers in the building of the new spiritual civilization; the elect of God, in willing joyful obedience carrying out His supreme design. Success is truly at hand, for the flag of divinity has been raised aloft and the sun of righteousness of God appears through upon the horizon in the sight of all The most serious problem which the United States has to solve is that of immigration. On every hand, we hear of the "fear of immigration," and we have reasoned as an enemy and a cause of welfare of the government. Because of his foreign inclinations he is much to be feared. This is a serious situation. There are already many American and international immigrants who are谋杀 and are谋杀. If they with their foreign conditions are considered dangerous to the peaceful relations of America, how much more so must these hordes of aliens be? The country is a very weak country, and even year with no other purpose has a very poor ter their unbearable poverty-stricken condition? Hundreds and thousands of these people have come into this country for a long time, and have not as much as has been the country, and have not as much as has been the country. They have enjoyed the protection, hospitality and material benefits of the nation, but their hearts and interests are foreign to the world. They are not a country, nor a country. They take the positions of loyal and conscientious citizens, and are not so unscrupulous as is natural in the country. The reduction of the standard of living, the loss of the natural environment, the loss of natural resources, and the loss of the natural秀. The Immigration question has been a source of considerable agitation both in and out of congress for many years, and has been a problem to be nothing done to relieve the situation. The Packard automobile company has adopted a policy: "no position of trust or honor to allure," which if followed by a "fear of immigration," and is not likely to be the situation and stimulating the American spirit in Americans as well as foreigners. Foreigners are in control of principally all of the leading industries, and the country is a very rich, high-class and mining camp. They hold a whirlpand over the industrial wealth of the country and may at any time become a serious menace to the nation. D. W. JOHNSON. CHICAGO RACE SPECIALISTS. An individual is strong, powerful and influential in a community just in proportion as he is healed to govern himself, influence others and contribute to the sum total of community good. No man, no race, so far as that goes, is strong, that most draw all its resources from without; that must go out of itself, to find the things that make for its best good and perpetuity. For instance, take a country that imports or buys more than it exports or sells, the balance of trade is against it, and that country sooner or later is doomed to bankruptcy, unless it can change the balance of sales to its side of its scales, or in its favor. In other words, no race can become a power that cannot find within itself, or develop within itself, or from its ranks, the things it most needs for its substantial standing in the community. This is true as regards medical specialists among the Negro people of Chicago. If you ask some of the leading Negro doctors to recommend to you some good Negro Specialist, his answer usually is "there are none," or, that he "kaws of none to be recommended outside of himself." He answers thus, because he is self-because he sees more bad in the worst of men than he sees good in the best of men. But, it is a bad attitude for any one to take. We do know that there are good specialists among the Negro medical men in Chicago, who have paid the price in study, in preparation, in close application and sacrifice to develop themselves along this particular line. We know young Negro medical men in this city, who have lived off roils and coffee, southern hash and rolls, in order to save enough money to take a special course, or to go abroad to study along particular lines of specialism; and if they belonged to any other race aside from the Negro race, the Negro people of Chicago would rave over them and acclaim their names from one section of this city to the other. But unfortunately they happen to be of the Negro race and are devoting their time, life and energy to alleviate human suffering among Negro people, endeavoring to prolong the life of that people. In dentistry, Dr. Charles E. Bently is recognized as being one of the world's best authorities in dentistry along his particular line. He has visited the largest dental clinics and conventions, not only in this country, but in Europe, and he is recognized as standing in the foremost ranks in his understanding and treatment of pyrorhea or pus diseased gums. Dr. Daniel H. Williams is known throughout this country as a good conservative and safe surgeon; he, too, some years ago studied abroad and possesses special knowledge in surgical problems. Geo. C. Hull devoted many years in training himself along surgical lines; he attended the various large surgical clinics throughout the country, and has operated and assisted in establishing many hospital and infirmaries in the southland. Dr. U. G. Dally, a splendid surgeon, was not satisfied with visiting and studying in nearly all the large surgical centers of this country, but four years ago made the trip abroad— PROPHECY COTTAGE BARGAIN Only $150 Cash Balance Monthly Close to 35th St. Cars 6 Room Frame Lot 25 x 125 Phone, te or call for particulars to-day d secure a real bargai FRED JOHN R. THE SPECIALIST VARIOUS SPECIALISTS Dr. James R. White is one of the best obstetricians as well as surgeons in Chicago. If he did not bother to the Negro race and lived and worked among the Negro people who had done for the past children bears, the Negro people would be excelling his praises from one section of his city to another. We know that they won an in confinement would be perfectly safe in his hands. He has a large experience and has been momentarily successful in his line of work. In the diseases of children Dr. Geo. W. Prince is a specialist who mean ability. Just a year or so ago he spent about a year in the study of these diseases in Germany and Austria, and the Negro race has no excuse when their children are for calling in to treat them numbers of any other race. Dr. L. C. Blanchet is a good laboratory specialist, and any specimen of blood, urine, sputum, stomach contents or any other secretions given to him for examination will be carefully done, and as truthfully done as by any other laboratory man on the city. Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist dr. H. Reginald Smith, later devoting several years to this line of work, spent a year in London, England, in the hospitals there, perfecting himself in the aboveabove subjects. Dr. Spencer C. Dickerson spent time in taking a special course Harvard Graduate Medical School year or so ago, and has been an is now an Nose and Throat Department in the Rush Medical College. His work little line as a specialist compares favorably with the work being done by the specialists, anywhere in Chicago. Dr. M. J. Brown has done splendid work in the eye, ear, nose and throat work, and a great many other men who are devoting their time to develop themselves along special lines of practice. The object of writing this article is to acquaint the Negro people of Chicago with their fortunate circumstances—in that they do not have to go outside of their race, unless of course, they do it from choice, to find the necessary specialized medical service they may desire. We want you to remember that this is the advertisement, that it is no giving of praise where praise and favorable comment are not deserving. We have been practicing medicine in Chicago over twenty years, and we have noted with pleasure the progress and rise of the medical men of the Negro race, as well as we know of the progress and standing of over three thousand medical men of the other races. We have no prejudices or feelings against medical men of any race, but we so often receive letters of inquiry, and often hear the complaint that "there no specialists along certain lines of discipline in Negro medical men of Chicago," until Negro medical men constrained to write this article for good of the public, and we want it understood that there are oir Negro medical men and dentist, who are doing special work, and as deserving of mention, but owing to the limited space allotted to this department we cannot name them at the writing.
