Democratic Mayor Speaks. Mary Buscherman of this city, a "died-hoold" Democrat, had the following to say on the proposed separate street car law I have no reason for the passage of a law that restricts Legislature providing that members must occupy separate seats on the street car and the absence of a reason, and blacks in Louisville are good, and I for one must them to remain so. Better car manners must be both by members of the race and white people. I do think the proposed street car should pass. There is certainly no demand for such a law from Louisville.

Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY KNIGHT'S BILL BLACK AS NIGHT SAYS LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL "The question whether the proposed Knight law, segregating the races in Louisville street cars, would stand the test of the courts is one which the Courier-Journal, as a layman, and not a lawyer, does not oppose to answer. A good courier does not pass it that Louisville does not ask for it does not need it, does not want it. That should not rely the Legislature no matter how importunate Senator Knight may be. "The late Booker Washington observed that Negroes and white persons in the South got along quite peaceably except during campaigns preceding elections, when the Negro was made 'a football of politics.' That expresses the situation in Louisville. Public safety does not demand the separation of street cars. It is a plea that negroes would improve sanitary conditions if it is allowed. Every Negro, as well as all persons who rides on a street car and pays fare is entitled to the benzene sanitary conditions. The Negro is as susceptible to germ diseases as the white man is. A car which is so ill ventilated and so foul—as many of them undoubtedly are—that it is dangerous to health is not to an individual to an individual of another country. The negro is ventilation and not a sanitary law in some cities nowadays require of apartment houses the supply of sufficient heat to admit of suitable ventilation. It is not necessary to seal a street car in order to heat it. When it is seated it is foul, disgusting and dangerous regardless of what is the color of the passengers. "By virtue to secure sufficiently common carriers invite anything from your legislation to window smashing. In any smashing would be the more logical course for the passengers pressed by vicissitudes of the atmosphere. As Punch observed in an issue following that in which it stated that nobody had ever suffered from a bad cold after taking a liberal dose of sulphuric acid, 'we do not recommend the methods of getting relief.' We can traced to race friction by disorder upon Louisville who are available. Each car in a charge of a motorman and a conductor whose business it is to maintain. "Senator Knight's bill hacks the indorsement of any commercial body or any other representative organization in Louisville." MAJ.

The word 'Dango' was originally given by sailors to Spaniards, Portuguese and Italians, in general. There are several theories as to its derivation. Probably the most widely accepted is that the word is a corruption of the Spanish name Diego, used as an equivalent of the English Jack or James. Others believe it to be the Spanish name or nickname derived from the Spanish word which came to be applied to any foreigner from Latin Europe. It is now used chiefly as a nickname for Italian immigrants in this country. News of the Churches QUINN CHAPEL. Last Sunday morning the Rev. F. P.

Parker, aldermanic candidate, was invited to meet with members (ement...-Ida) B. Wells Barnett president. These are a few of the many passages in the Holy Book announcing the great event which is to take place in the latter days. To the one who has read these words carefully and understanding, and is convinced that they mean exactly what they state, undoubtedly the question will arise in his mind: If God is to come and manifest Himself to His creatures and establish His household here on earth, then how shall He appear? In what manner shall He come? From whence shall He come? When shall He come? And how shall we know that He is The One when He does come? Upon all these points the Bible (when rightly understood) has clearly instructed us, and in considering this great question, let us follow the counsel of the Mirthy One—Isaiah 1:18—"Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord." That He is to come, the passages just become so vivid, and should be coefficiently so cohesive, that a rationally minded person; but owing to their own peculiarities, he may be manner of He. He coming may perjure somewhat perplexing, but a proper ex- ception is that He has given God his God has given us, in connection with prohetic utterances, will clear our vis- sion, and "make the crooked things The Bible teaches that no man hath ever seen God. The finite mind cannot comprehend the Infinite Essence; the creature cannot comprehend the Creator—any more than the thing made can comprehend its maker. The watch cannot comprehend the watchmaker; neither can man comprehend his Creator. But you may say, the comparison is not lo-leal because the watch is inanimate matter, whilst man is an intelligent being. Granted that this is so—that man is an intelligent being and the watch inanimate matter—it does not affect the fact the Creator is as much higher above the creature as the watchmaker is above the watch—and as Heaven is high above the earth—because the maker of the watch did not create the essence of which the watch is composed, but the Creator of man did create the essence of which the (man) is composed and also gave him his intelligence; therefore, notwithstanding man's intellectual attainments, his Creator is as far above him as he cast is from the west. Man's powers of attitude, he can do his own sphere or attitude, he can comprehend nothing beyond his limitations. Being a limited creature, how is man then going? He comprehends the unlimited Creator when He comes? Can he know or understand him as a lovely flower, a delicious other, filling the boundless space of man's sphere, to be breathed into the nests of his imagination—or a beautiful bird, a beautiful animal, or any other majestic new-inspiring thing living outside man's limitations? Assuredly not. (Continued next week.) THE TWILIGHT SOCIAL CLUB.

Speaking of the proposed Knight Bill, he said: Women Play Their Part. Women play a role in the development of their family have been play- ing their part to keep the law from being passed. Those who work out in service are doing the work. In most families they are the only one who has the power to be a person who is a wife or a wife. They have in turn a good business men's wives who in turn have spoken to their business to use their influence leisure to their work. They are also against the bill. These women have taken a keen interest in opposition to the bill that while people have become more well-known than they have been written to other members of the Legislature to vote against the bill. So many look upon the bill as it is not as much as it will be as a means of delivering the vote of the race into the hands of the Republican Party. Naturally this will effect the impact of the economic party will be the sufferer. This is one city where race men have divided their vote and has been a means of both parties more common than the other. Public opinion, however, has arisen higher; more politics and the press of the city are opposing the bill of the election that the election of the city will be the sufferer. The result of the laws that would be applied with this case not want nor need such a bill therefore should not become an issue that it is not the desire of the citizens of the city to want such a law, but just a personal desire of Sir. Knight. Some of the people who are supported with his foot upon the necks of the members of the race—that he wants to be another Vardeman or Hoke Smith but they are not to be the same as they do. He has no such characters shall disgrace the fair name of Kentucky. The last time Col. Watterson spoke in public before it mixed with the people who were in being interested by the Race. J. J. Parrush. "I want children of your race to have the same educational opportunities as my own children." The people who are not the same as my children are want to sit side by side in a street car and not that they should be just off the street. They will be not as much as they would be expected that the bill will be. It is because of such strong opposition.

Hercetrohe the meeting took place the club but this year the custom was changed and the celebration held at Lincoln High School Auditorium. Last Sunday the club held a race with members of all races to pay tribute and homage to two of America's greatest toms.

Of this country are today listening to the greatness of these two men's lives and their contribution to American civilization.

Marshall then presented the meeting. De Priest as chairman of the meeting. The alderman of the Second ward said: Oscar De Priest, Chairman. "We are gathered here as citizens of Chicago this afternoon to celebrate the birth of two of the greatest Americanicans, the American Baptist and Frederick Douglass, the Memphis born of humble parentage, both self-made and self-educated and both loved and revered by the American public. At the age of 16, Frederick thought of, and as time goes on and as the people become better and better fit for Lincoln and Douglass having lived, the American people at the time those two men were engaged in public life did not apprehend and abused and both perceived and abused and both understood, like all great men who have advanced thoughts of public endeavor. The people at that time could not understand and in indexing to shape the country of these four million American people and those who were thoroughly misappreciated, only appreciate them, but their memories grow sweeter and sweeter to us. We will not take in so much of your time to understand these two great men. You yourself know them, yen, know them well, and it only fitting that a sufficient time be given to understand a delightful program for this occasion."

Douglass's standpoints was a great man. In his time he was the first colored man to gain any considerable motority in the affair of slavery. Douglass was denied the opportunity of getting an education. His mother had the Bible as one of her companions and it was she who taught him. His master did not allow him to be taught. After slavery, he went to Massachusetts, engaged in hard manual labor, and in the age of twenty-four he visited the first Convocation and made his first speech, possibly one of his greatest, and as a result he became before the public. His life work had begun. "I might go indoinitely into the details of his life, into the many obstacles his life has to deal with his weary way both as a man and as a teacher but the lesson of today is "The Result of Undulaterated Manhood." That is the man who is today taken from our Greatest Desk. Desk is the positive city of it! And in closing I wish to say: I see a man casting his great eye over the city, the active child of the third largest city in a square thinker and a square actor—William Hale Thompson, our Mayor. I see an asteroid father, a father smile, an Abraham Lincoln smile down on us from heaven. I see horror on his face as the flag of our country and his friendly friends "It's the Republican Party Every Time or Decapit. I thank you." Maysor Thompson was the next speaker. He audience stood and wave their handkerchiefs. William Hale Thompson's Address. "I am glad to be here today to add my little part to your program on this occasion, and I am grateful to be the behalf of Father Abraham, but before I start this address I wish to state that I have been very proud of the delivered at the Lincoln Protective Club at their banquet at Louisville, Kentucky, entitled 'Ventucky's and Illinois' Great Adventure. Ventucky's and Illinois' great adventure I first want to review in passing, some of the things that have been said and taught to do with the friendliest and greatest friends. "The life-story of 'Abe' Lincoln is told in many hands like a favorite Bible story. His career is as familiar among the nations as that of his ancient prototype, Moses. He was the story of the world shines out with the world-gems as the every-day life of Abraham Lincoln. No incident in which he跌倒, even during the barren days of childhood, was too homely or too trivial to be included in a quaint charm of his striking personality. "His wonderful career abounds the strong contrasts which appeal to every- thing, he was true to a wide cabin, and while it was true that Linens and his ex- treatments were very very free of the colony for a long time," he pothy on in which he was put on the most most of the early settlers of the western wilds in which he lived. "Even the situations of the world were greater hard ships than the poorest laborers in the United States of the present day. His life flows beyond the point of origin, but of the old building of the martyrs' spirit. The humor which people in him was like the rare comedy that believes the mystic tringelles of Shakespeare because of the earth with the flies, because, beneath the surface, his soul was seething with the sorrows of everyday life. I went about trying to do it to have a great success. I was wood for a neighboring widow to climb trees in patient search for the bird's of the two fledglans and had fallen. He never could save the little ing all he could to relieve it. With all his jokes and stories, his great hungering of the country of the city of the flies of others. During the sorrowing years in the White House a new network wrinkled and seams harmed his face of his life. He was raised in deepen and sadden in their sockets. His kindly countenance soon became a son- son man of the Civil War, where Bull Run is a grandville man who is writing lines and indelible marks. We less of soldiers lives, the privations of the people in the country of the world of the anguish of the bereaved, all faced their furrows in the rugged features of the all-friendly face of "Father Abra hia" and the "the good and the high" He stood for freedom, justice and lively. "Augustus St. Lawrence has well pictured him in the wonderful piece of art he created, delivering his famous Gettysburg address. With his carnest face and his head forward, he is pictured standing on the ground, facing the resting place for those braves who struggled for the freedom of their country.

"All one need to do is to consult Mr. Dixon's purpose in writing. The Clansman you can do for yourself the object of your job. Mr. Dixon is strictly a commercial one, but the law-abiding citizens of the race feel that Butte's population can survive without a race. We do not malign the managers of this play, but when any one in the play does not injure the race it is like telling him he is not harming him in jail when he is there already. The fact is that the history of the play has already done harm. How can one say it is wrong? How can it be where it has attempted to show prevent it from showing? Why should most of our larger cities that it has gone out into far corners of the world? Yet some say it does no harm."

In any case, the fact remains that they always have something new and attractive to offer in their work, and they take second place in costuming. In their work this week they are murrable versatility, and their "Arby" number, which is done with a dance in beautiful Oriental costume, can be comfortably seen in that particular number, however, that they show marked excellence. Every number offered is consciously worked by it, and it is no wonder that the team is so well known for their color attraction by the house managers.

Clay, prin., and his able assistants, the children from all grades in the city school fittingly attended the first day with Lincoln recitations, beautiful solos and quartets, quotations, and the crowning of Lincoln's picture with roses and girls. We are sure that the way in which we were entertained by these students, that the Lincoln seed has been planted, that the children come bear abundant fruit. This effort was never attempted before and from the condition of the different selectors, that the children had caught the inspiration, that we with us, that matchless orator and race promoter, Lawyer N. S. Taylor of recounting events, that the children picture events to the spiritual and that they seemed to realize more fully what Lincoln was to us. We are delighted with the teachings that we have received. We will pilot and platform, that we must educate, if we ever hope to achieve any recognition. Our children are being taught that we are the best people. We have been benefited by the weekly visit of the Defender in our homes. Its teachings are such as we need to guide them.

KEY NOTICE TO THE VOTERS OF THE SECOND WARD In ward, there may be no misuse of the word "ward," or "administrative," i.e. deem it necessary at this time to issue the following statement to voters at large in the Second ward especially, as to the reason why we urge the Alderman of the Second ward: Bibb for alderman of the Second ward: First. There are in the Second ward women—WHICH is IN EXCESS OF THE TOTAL WHITE VOTE OF THE WARD, hence any colored man can nominated be elected by the colored voters, of the Second ward 15 per cent is colored and 25 per cent is white, notwithstanding the vote of the Second ward 15 per cent is colored of the ward we elected a colored elderman in the spring of 1915; yet the Jewish nationality in the person of Milton J. Foster, was able to elect the total vote, was able to elect and continue in office for more than 12 years one nationality in the person of Milton J. Foster, was able to elect the total vote, was able to elect and continue in office Hen, Samuel A. Biltson as state senator has able to elect and continue in office Hen, Samuel A. Biltson as state senator has able to elect and continue in office Hen, Samuel A. Biltson as state senator has now corporation counsel for the city of Chengzo at a salary of $60,000 a year at a salary of $60,000 a year, now increased to $32,000 a year, inside the election of Hugh Pam to the university bench at a salary of $21,000 annually. In the Second word 20 per cent of the total vote is Republican, notwithstanding which our own party DR. MERWY JOHN H. HARRIS DR. MERWYN R. BIBB. Man and candidate for delegate to Republican national convention are from the Fourth. There is upwards of $60,000 in donations, large and small, of which not to exceed $12,000 is received by the committee drawn by the white Republican minority, who have only 25 per cent of the Republican element, with 15 per cent of the Republican strength of the Second ward, drawn Fifth. As long as the colored Republican adherents never connect with the right to one alderman, and it was only after he colored voters and made him minute without the assistance of white Republicans did we size the right of colored voters to one of the alderman, and did this only when the elect by their own voting strength, and after the uprising of the colored people, Wright and Charles A. Griffin, threatened the disruption of the Second ward Re Sixth. Throughout the history of the Second ward the colored voters have always been loyal to the Republican candidates and Republican principles, as evidenced in the records of the Board of Election Commissioners for every colored precinct in the Second ward. The records will show that Senator George F. Harding, Jr., Senator Samuel A. Ettelson, Congressman Martin B. Madden, Representative William H. Brinkman, and all other white Republican candidates in every election received upwards of 50 per cent of the entire colored vote; on the other hand, white Republicans have been disloyal to colored candidates, as represented by the 20th precinct, the home of Alderman Hugh Norris. In the spring primary of 1915 Alderman Oscar DelPrst received only 31 votes out of 30, and an anti-organization candidate, Max Schmidt, carried the precinct; while in the spring primary, 1914, Hugh Norris received his same 20th precinct vote to 1 vote for William R. Cowan, the colored candidate. In the following April election, 1914, Alderman Norris received 300 votes for his election. In the following fall election this same precinct gave to the colored voters a 50% vote. Jackson only 65 votes, and the second election, 1915, after even Oscar DelPrst had been nominated he received only 37 votes in Alderman Norris's precinct, which shows that the colored voters are more loyal to the white Republicans than the white Republicans are to them. This is further illustrated in the last spring primary and election, when the Republican candidate, David DePriet, carried only one strictly white publican precinct in the primary and won the same election Mayor William le Thompson carried the second ward 5.62 votes more than the Republican ward 5.19 votes. He also colored the Republican ward 1 to the entire Republican ticket, but the white Republicans would not be colored in the second ward, and Alderman DePriet was elected by Norfolk in spite of white RePriet. Within the last 30 days the Mean organization of the Second Wnd the First Congressional district. at Kramer hall, 35th and Cove avenue, Indorsed Congressman K. Madden and Senator George F. R.

Ninth. In the 1st, 4th, 5th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st wards the Irish are in the majority, with the Irish wards being the 3rd and 9th wards, and you will find there nothing but Irish aldermen; in the 3rd and 9th the Jews predominate, and there you have Jewish aldermen; in the 15th and 16th wards are the Polish, and they elect only Polish aldermen; in the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd wards German territory with six aldermen, there are 5 Germans and 1 Greek; in the 8th and 33rd wards are the Swedes, and there you have only the Swedish aldermen; in the 6th, 7th, 24th, 25th, and 26th wards you have the old factions, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th wards are the old factions in the Second ward, the only ward where the colored people are in the majority in Chicago, there should be no question or debate about the colored people having both aldermen, and especially in view of the selfishness and hostility of the white Republican minority. Tenth. As the next step to even up the political inequity in the Second ward, since we cannot control the appointments through Committeeman Maiden, we are obliged to obtain all availances of position, including a beginning with a mid-term, and continuing to committee, national, delegate and congressman. In harmony with this program present THE EDITOR your vote and support, in your own interest, Dr. Merwyn R. Bibb, a candidate for the Republican nomination for alderman of the Second ward, Feb. 29, A. D. 1916. He is honest, capable and efficient. He is in sympathy with the common people, and if nominated will serve the people instead of the favored few of the hostile white minority. He is entitled to every colored vote in the Second ward, and every white voter who wishes the political emancipation of the colored people as well as the white in the Second ward. Finally, The white people do not wish Norris re-elected as alderman, and why who's re-elected people re-nominate him in the second of the foregoing facts, and in view of the further consideration that he is one of the self-serving few who have been manipulating the colored voters against themselves and in the second personal interest? Even if a white man were desirable, we should not select a weak white man like Norris. Compare him with DePriest. He has been in the council for four years and DePriest only about ten months, and yet DePriest has overshadowed him in the council. The white press of Chicago is against Norris because he is a weakling. The Municipal Voters' League very recently made this report the record of Aldermen in the county of Adelaide. "HUGH NORRIS — Finishing second term with poor record; voted against 'budget board' and against requiring monthly lists of 'sixty-day' men; worked and voted against removal and prosecution of Nye and Civil Service Commissioners Coffin and Geary; voted against securing financial information from school board, against cutting 'pork' out of 1915 budget, against prohibiting aldermen soliciting jobs from public service corporations, and for Cullerton's order violating building ordinance; since Harding retired from council, Norris has collapsed entirely; in combination with his colleague, Oscar DePrfest, he has become a partisan willing to go any length in behalf of the politicians fighting the council; one of the fifteen Argonauts, whose 'unexpensive trip to the Golden Gate was a pleasing and interesting novelty of the council year." This is the time for the colored people to strike for what is due them according to their vote and numbers. Let everybody vote for Dr. Merwyn R. Bibb. OLDEST CITIZEN DIES Greenville, Miss.

HICAGO DEFENDER leaders were overjoyed. After Mr. Wade wore showing of the picture, but the mayor did not have time to see it. He was woken up by the sound of the police car. It was to the North. Its vicious and polsonous effects it had upon other race, police and civilians. He had to stop it. It went on. After the play was going and had got a good footstep, the police officer B. A. T. Watkinson, assistant corporation counsel, fled the suit July 2. He re-entered the police station, making more efficiently to do with the case. The case went before Judge Cooper and was dismissed. It was then to the Appellate Court, where leaders were fashing for jobs. Petitioners were asking for the Birth of a Nation" was going on, spreading its virus of segregation and discrimination; on some race leaders went so far as to deny the birth of a Nation. Others others there to indorse it, and their indorsement sent all over the country, with Chicago indorse the play. The jobs were gotten and, everyone "sitting pretend to be a Nation." The Birth of a Nation." Leaders sat in their chairs, and everyone was well along the Potomac. The case was to the Court of Appeals. The Law Bull of Feb. 2 contains the following decision. Court of Appeals Decision. "The appeal of the City of Chicago from an interlocutory order entered in the Superior Court June 5 in favor of Joseph J. McCarthy, enjoining the city from interfering with the exhibition of a moving picture known as 'The Birth of a Nation,' has been dismissed by the C Branch Appellate Court because the record was not filed in the statutory time." The court's decision in the Appellate Court clerk's office a short record, consisting of a copy of the injunction order appealed from. Without an order of court, what purports to be a complete record was filed with the clerk Sept. 14. A motion was made in the reviewing court Oct. 20 for leave to file an additional record as of Sept. 14. Appellate opposed this motion and moved to dismiss the appeal for the reason that the appeal was not perfected within the time provided by statute, and therefore the court had no jurisdiction to hear or determine the court's decision. "For the reviewing court Presiding Justice Pam holds that the right of appeal is a statutory creation; that under the statute the appeal must be taken within thirty days from the entry of such interlocutory order or decree AND PERFECTED IN THE APPELLATE COURT WITHIN SIXTY DAYS FROM THE ENTRY OF SUCH ORDER OR DECREE. The motion to file the supplementary record is denied because filed too late, and as the short record filed July 3 does not contain any assignments of error, the motion is dismissal the appeal must be granted." Other Discriminations. Right in the heart of the "Windy City" it is reported to this office that discrimination is going on in a saloon. It's plitable that with a mayor in the chair who has been nominated by the race and handed the "Black Belt," which secured his election, that such discriminations will be allowed to go on by a few race leaders given jobs and who sit quietly, keeping their mouths closed.

He introduced the principle of industrial and agricultural training as a solvent of the Negro. Moton's Tribute to Washington. A mixed chorus of 150 voices from the Mountains and the Appalachian land and other songs and the Fisk quartet and Tuskegee quartet sang several spirituals. Major Moton said in part. "It is entirely fitting that on the eve of the birthday of the great emancipator we should gather here reverently to MP H. P. FRISELL, President of Hampton Institute our respects to the one who stands so pre-eminently as the most unique individual in the world. T. Washington's life and work alone would have justified Abraham Lincoln's emancipation. These remarks are made to be extended as an eulogy, for that would be absolutely out of humane with the life and leadership of whom he was wise. My hope is rather to call to attention the principles which controlled and guided him enabled him to perform so great and so beautiful service for the race and for the country. My hope is to learn from some lessons and gain some inspiration that may help and encourage us for the great work which he did. "Fow man in the world's history have been able to accomplish in so short a time that Washington was able to accomplish. He organized and enchartered a college and a university and of life. He taught the dignity, grandeur, beauty and necessity of industry and of life. He developed of any people. He led them to a belief in and a respect for their own race. He deepened their race pride, their culture, their heritage, their life. He gave his people a definite place in the thought and life of the times. It ensured him a memorial forecoding race problem without delay. Had a Clear Race Program. "He left a clear, definite, hope race for his people, and unsucceded, followed, will without doubt bring, in the long run, a change in the situation, a lution and an adjustment mutually acceptable to all of those who are vitally concerned underlying, fundamental, dominating, controlling principle and characteries, which enabled him to render such a great service to this nation, his belief in his people, his qualities, important as they were, were secondary to the great principle which respected and loved humanity, and this could not be circumscrised by race or by line lines. North and South, in his program, because Dr. Washington beloved in, respected and loved the feelings and sentiments of the south- "Because of his absolute faith in the possibilities of his own race, because of his pride in his race, because he loved his race, Dr. Washington analyzed and frankly interpreted the Negro to himself. He told him in unvarnished fashion of his shortcomings and fallings. He taught him what right education should mean and should do for the individual and the race, working out in concrete form his ideas of education in the great Tuskegee Institute, as well as outside of the institution. In the north and in the South he linked education in a very definite, practical and necessary way to life, not as life ought to be—the ideal life—but as life really is, in the cabin, on the farm, in the church, in the school, in the alley, in disease, in crime. He taught men that education, whether professional, academic, technical or industrial, should touch and influence the common everyday vacations by which men live and move and have their existence." "I believe, my friends, that you who are hols of the opportunities of the culture and of the wealth of the ages; you who love humanity and justice; you who love our glorious country. I believe truly that you will see to it that the great institution through which he worked, and for which he died, will be maintained and operated to its fullest capacity and with greatest possible efficiency, that these black boys and girls, who are sometimes called the despised and rejected children, may continue to have a chance—a chance to be trained—a chance to be educated—a chance to be efficient—a chance to be useful to their race and to their country—a chance to be decent—a chance to serve."

The symphony Concert turned a very WHITE KIDS BOY (Continued from page 15) A fifth street, as he was returning from a place where the car was standing, was shown with several young women. Witnesses declared that the car was standing near the curb when he was going to the car, and that the car had been overtood him and ran into the car later. One of the young ladies screamed and the white man looked around. Mr. Fogle declared that the car was a green wildly and that it had run into his eye on it for fear. He declared that he had seen his party. He said a loud crash; then heard a scream and a loud crash; then heard a bicycle dragged from behind, and saw a bicycle thrown up on the seat, and saw a body beneath the sidewalk. He said a light on the car, he said. There were no lights, and as it passed the car then started, and as it passed the car he walked. Witnesses stated that the car was a white vehicle in front of him, over a noise like something dragging. One of the young women remarked that he must have taken an ample of theaddle works in St. Elmo. reminded that while in Jackson's drug store, he seen a negro boy fixing his wheel near the curbing about 10:15. He stated that he had noticed an automobile without light stop, and a race man get out and, walking to the front, he declared he had been dragged. He declared he work to the spot and plainly saw bloodstains on the curbing and in the matter. The bloodstains had been dragged. Husserl worked for Clinton Brothers. They told him a fine young boy he had role the night he was killed. He want and that they knew the wheel which he found his cap. He said he had to weep over the manner in which he was killed—seven severely punished. One white man witen tried to ky it open the boy who was in the car with Doggone. He neglected out of court. Other witnesses for the defendants were introduced but what they said was so untruthful that he prejudiced State's Strong Plea. The state was represented by Mr. Eugene Bryce. He told what an obedient boy he had been. He told how he struggled to do the right thing for the people for whom he worked, and the enemy exerted to get an education. He made a strong plea for Pogue to be held over to the Grand Jury. Every one in the little room was touched by the plea made by Mr. Bryan. The defendants tried to prove that the boy had been run over by some other actor mobile—they failed; then they raced to lay up the name of the race who was in the way, and this would not hold water. When Pogue's lawyers tried to make a motion slain that it was some other car, every one in court gave the lawyer a laugh and the judge was forced to over-rule the motion. Attorney Sheppard pleaded for the defendant that it was a physical inability for a human body to be dragged by a car, over which the lawyer said that it was a mechanism. The lawyer said that the car was the driver not to know about it. "Over all the overwhelming evidence proved doubt, which prove beyond a shadow of doubt," said Pogue murderously killed the boy, the attorneys for the defendant, and the attorney clergyman. "It was frivolous clergyman," quoth Pogue, who was looking at the window most of the time, turned around after the case had been concluded, found the defendant's lot guilty. It was the worst travesty on justice ever performed on an individual since the days of the war. "The whole world is a shame," she said, "deceased men and women were present and heard the evidences." "A effort is being made by citizens to make Pogue and the race-loving men and women will do everything they possible to re-open the case." Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 18—Richard E.

SO MANY REPRIETS have been written about Honesty, Persistence, Emulsism being he three essential ingredients, which, if mixed in an individual in proper proportion and constantly varied, will result in that delightful concoction which we are all so anxious to taste—and which, once tasted, in never forgotten—namely, "SUCCESS" and that very little real thought is given to n. article on that subject now. The answer. The average man today is worth "two dollars per" from his neck down. If he earns more than two dollars per day, it is due to the quality of the gray matter in his thinkshop. Did you ever stop to think what you have in to let top floor apartment of your? Is it properly filled or is there space chin up? Is your greatest working value from your neck down or from your thigh? Are you more than you did last? You can't stand still, if you don't want to go backward you must go ahead. For years we have been going on the theory that it was almost useless to fit ourselves for certain walks in life, because after having done so there would be no opportunity to prove our worth. That we have been the losers by adhering to this line of reasoning there is no question. The man or woman who, by dint of hard study, more themselves a little more proficient than the other fellow, is bound to receive recognition. The world is seeking brains, and it matters not what color the container may be. If in casting your bucket down where you are it remains empty, never and deeper wells. Brains without persistence and energy of little value. Nothing will come to us by whining and bemoaning our lot; we do not need sympathy; we do not wish to be looked upon as wards like the poor Indian. We have had too much babyling already; it has dwarfed our manhood, made us feel dependent; it has given us an excuse for the other fellow to think and act for us. We ask now but a fighting chance, an even break; nothing short of that will suffice. If these things are withhold. It only means a more determined fight on our part. And, above all, believe in yourself; drive it home; that the tope of the leader is only reached by the climbers and you intend to be near that class; as dominant races may try to impress you with the fact that you are inferior in every way; you would be if you believed them, but you know that. Color is not a badge of inferiority; the time is fast coming when you proof of your dusky hue. Remember the door to success is always "PUSH!" OW, ON THE SQUARE, do you deserve the good opinion of those who well of you? RITE IT IN YOUR HEART that every day is the best day to seek some poor, unfortunate and lend them a helping hand. Don't think and or clothing you gave Christmas will last the whole year; it wouldn't mean, would it? LET US HOPE that Woodrow will not get the resigning habit, as does cabinet members. BIDDING FOR SOUTH AMERICA'S FRIENDSHIP. THE UNITED STATES, in seeking closer relations to her sister republic in South America, is taking a long step forward in the matter of separating the new world from the old, and if a bond of friendship or a compact can be entered into where the slogan of the new powers will be one for all and for all one, the danger of unfriendly interference from the old world powers will be very slight. but unless Americans become a great deal broader than they now are an absence such as they seek will be fraught with more or less danger, for in South America, Indians, Negroes and all other dark races freely intermingle with the descendants of the Caucasian race. There is no consciousness of race barriers. So what will the people of the United States, who hold the one drop of Negro blood makes a man black, do when they are confronted with the necessity of meeting these South Americans on equal terms? To carry their prejudices into these countries would mean a severing of their friendly relations and what is more to the point, a chopping off of all commercial transactions. The darker races in South America are in a very different relation than the colored people of the United States, in as much as they can demand their rights while we can simply request them. It is a taintty that with the closer relations this country is seeking to establish with our neighbors, will make racial problems analogous to the problem confronting them at present, more diplomacy will have to be called into day as a matter of self protection and forever drive from the white man's mind that we are not seeking equality, that we endow within our own ranks the best of God's creations, that we are becoming involved with such a desire for race integrity, that rarely do we go outside our race marry, perhaps he would stop his ambush fighting, let us work out their own salvation. Yes, by all means let us cultivate the friendship of South America and every other country where the darker races live—not extinct—will mean much to those of us who live under the stars and stripes, most of the latter. PHANTOM FOLLOWERS WHAT FOOK WE MORTALS BE, and the strange part of it is that some of us never set wise. The chap who said that there was a fool born every minute was only wrong in the number; his estimate was far too low, it will be remediated that one of these latter day prophets, Chief Sam by name, some two years ago sailed away from New York on the steamer "Liberia" for Africa. With him were a considerable company who acknowledged him as leader, and who believed his claim as descent from African outliers. He gave insurance that he had an agreement with twenty kings, and that a rich trait of 160,000 acres had been set aside as a Utopia for the pilgrims, from over the sea. Recently three of the pilgrims returned, sped on their way by charity, of the others man are dead of starvation. Some have disappeared in the interior of Africa. A few are working on plantations along the coast. Chief Sam himself is a prisoner at Cape Coast Castle, charged with manslaughter as being responsible for the death of his followers. No twenty kings met Sam. There was not even a fack or one acre of land. There was nothing but illumination and misery. It is no reproach to our people that Sam was able to find followers. Many white men with schemes even more foolish and preposterous, have mustered their deities and believers by the hundreds. The story of Sam merely proves that credibility knows no distinction of race or color, and that an impostor with identity of "nereo" can always find a more or less profitable hearing. CHICAGO DEFENDER A SNAKE IN THE GRASS RACE PROBLEM THEM DURR REPETIED GET THIRD IHNS OLD FENCE AWAY ALONG -I'M 'ROUND AGAIN, HONEY WITH A NEW STOR-Y ABOUT TH' OLD-BLACK-CROW IN TH' HICK'RY TREE- THOS. DIXON NORTHERN PUBLIC We have been told that there is something lacking in our general makeup, that we are not capable of thinking, consequently acting, as quickly as our white brothers. When we have proven to the contrary by taking first place in every event where we were given a show, the excuse had to be framed up that it was either due to the white blood in our veins, or in the case of physical prowess, the animal that was in us. Whatever the reason, the fact remains we deliver the goods and that is all sufficient. In some sections of the country we are given about one half the school advantages the white have and expected to know as much at the close of the year. Quite a compliment looked at in the right light; but ocular demonstrations instead of convincing our neighbors simply make them more irritable, more aggressive, they feel themselves slippery and, like the drowning man, grasp even at a straw. There is nothing elevating about prize fighting, but our friends made so much over it we thought it best to put the sport in disrepute so wrestled the championship from them and loft the beginning of the end was seen. There was so much weeping and gnashing of teeth that Mr. Johnson—for a consideration, it is said—gave them back their toy belt. Generous people we, when you sum the whole thing up. MISS EXECUTIVE Ja Theo. G. Bilbo, Governor. W. M. Bell (Col), 606 S. Hinds St, Greenville, Miss. Sir— am in receipt of your letter. I there could be no law passed as to compelling the negroes to pay poll taxes that would not be applicable to the whites also. The best suggestion I can make THERE IS ABSOLUTELY no logical reason for the active participation of a minister in politics, because religion and politics do not, in any manner, harmonize, and it is difficult to understand how a man who aspires to be a good, honest and devout follower of the meek and lowly Christ, can also be a consistent political leader. On the other hand it hands bad taste on the part of any politician or set of politicians to accept the support of a minister of the gospel, make him promise to do certain political duties, it success crowns the efforts, by and with assistance, fall behind the cowardly excuse that the minister must not be engaged in politics and how much more good he might accomplish in attending to the high things in connection with his religious calling. In every congregation can be found men of different political worshiping side by side, brothers in the church, opponents in politics, and these men support the church, make it possible for their pastor to earn a livelihood. Must they turn their house of worship into a political hall because their leader has aspirations along that line? Has he a right to disregard the wishes of even the least one of his church members by forcing them to accept his views? Of course politicians find it greatly to their advantage to enlist the services of the influential minister, it is a great business stroke, and the few dollars they toss into the contribution box is well treatment, which is also a trump card, works like a charm. Of course if it pays materializes that all in the game. Our churches throughout the country have especially been victims of this political chicacery, and it is high time to take a firm stand and divorce politics from the church. CANADA FEARS an invasion of German forces from the American side and is making hurried preparations to repel the attack. Things begin to look like they were warming up some right close to home. Let's see who is it advocating "preparedness"? ENFORCE EXISTING LAWS "UNLESS CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED by the time the next general assembly meets," says Governor Harris. "I will ask the legislature to enact laws that govern the state. We agree with the southern editor who says he is at a loss to hold the legislature of Georgia can enact more stringent laws with regard to lynchings." In the eye of the laws now existing in that state a lyncher is a murderer. The punishment for murder is death by hanging. We don't suppose Governor Harris proposes to revive the old English refinements upon capital punishment of drawing and quartering the murderer. The trouble in Georgia, we fear, is not the lack of sufficiently stringent laws against criminals of this class, but it is the seeming absence of effects in enforcing the existing laws. The only method by which conditions can be improved is for the governor, the law officers, the courts and the juries to get busy, ferret out the lynchers and bring them to the bar of justice for having taken the law into their own hands and illegally, premeditated and of malice aforethought deprived their fellow human beings of their lives. SAMUEL, GOMPERS, president of the American Federation of Labor, spoke words of encouragement to a large gathering of colored labor organizations in Jacksonville, Fla., but failed to tell them why many trades unions throughout the country barred them from membership. Mr. Gompers is a power in the labor world and could do much better making the path of our laboring class smooth and at the same time make the organizations he represents stronger. It is a great deal better to have used the fold in case of a strike, than outside where necessity might drive us to protect our own interest first. NOW THAT THE COLONEL is spending a few moons in Latin America perhaps Woodrow will have time to read up some of the Big Chief's speeches, rehash them and feed them to a bored public as original. MEANWHILE we are getting along very nicely with the saloons closed, thank you. A BILL WAS INTRODUCED in the Virginia legislature to protect men from the corrupting effects of modern fashions. It provides that no woman can wear a skirt, the hem of which is more than four inches from the ground, nor can she wear a shirt waist or evening gown displaying more than three inches of her throat, and it is further provided that no woman shall wear either a waist or a skirt of transparent material. Well, when you stop and think of it, something must be done to protect innocent manhood.(?) EVERY TIME you knock a race institution or a race enterprise you are just putting yourself back one notch in the struggle for recognition. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps you could not do nearly as well as the one criticized were you in his place. The way to remedy an evil is to go to the foundation head and give logical reasons for your complaint. Honest criticism is welcomed by all right thinking people. Don't knock, boost. IF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY is the ship and all else the sea, and if self protection is the first law of nature, our position can be seen at a glance. AS A MATTER OF FACT how many "brunette" Americans are found blowing up valuable property, poisoning the soup of banqueters, wrecking railroads and trying to destroy their government? We repeat how many? Other questions we should like to propound will be left to the imagination. But honestly now, isn't it a disgrace? JUST A REMINDER, lest you forget that Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. IT IS NOT WHAT IS SAID, but the way it is said, that counts, and frequently it is what is NOT SAID that counts most. W. ALLISON SWEENEY I am in receipt of your letter, Three could be no law passed as a tax on the taxes that would be pay taxes that would be applicable to the whites also. The best suggestion I can make for your race is that they get the What do I think of it, this Governor's letter printed above? Think of it—at the risk of lese majeste, NOTHING! Being but a type of his, kind, and only fair to middling at that, the SIGN OF TITLE, ASS, the democratic trade-mark gleaming from every angle of his gubernatorial, carcass, there's nothing particular or unusual to be indignant over, in this familiar glimpse of the stock estimate that polywogs of his kind places upon BLACK EMERCANS, whether hailing from Massachusetts or Mississippi. But there's room for a smile, don't you know, if one is built that way. In attaching the prefix "colored" to his correspondent's name, was this small plop-lion-lived official: "Gov.? Yes, Suh! Of Mississippi, Suh," taking precautionary measures, anticipating generations yet unborn, when his bones, having gone from dust to mud—black mud, it could not be said of him that forget his HIS LIFE he so far forgot his ideales and training as to have been guilty of replying to a courteous note addressed to him BY A ORED GENTLEMEN in the same INDISCRIMINATING TERMS used in answering the letters of white gentlemen? But at sticking a harpoon into the guts of this Mississippi Governor's screed, going further into it, it is to laugh, brother; to almost scream, were it not for the solemn, ghastly memories awakened: "Keep Out of Politics!" he writes. Now what do you think of that? I opine this smug, complacent fellow, who prates of his "old mammy," no doubt, and the "possum and ash cake" she used to prepare, is overly strong, rather in "book larnin'" or native in "nimmy, but at that, governor of a state," or more important political and geographic division of this great Commonwealth, it is inconceivable he could be guilty of such a "break." "Keep Out of Politics" "The amusing cuest!" Not an acre of land, not a township, a county, a hamlet, In the time of Augustus Caesar the population of the world was said to be only 50,000,000. One hundred years ago it had increased to 700,000,000. Today it is estimated at 1,732,000,000. When Columbus discovered America there were 3,000,000 ships of the present United States. At the time of the Revolution there were 3,000,000 white men. Now we are approaching the 100,000,000 mark. And the Trouble Started. And the Trouble Started.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES END OF THE WEEK There seems to be quite a fad nowadays among little boys and girls to celebrate their birthdays. Does not matter how many times they come on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, children are allowed to celebrate, invite their friends, have a big party. The children are a wrong time to let school children have the time to the evenings they remain quite late and the next day the children, all who attend to totally unit to do their work. The children have Friday night for their parties that they may have Saturday to rest.

Sure, he's funny, or is he just naturally "nuts," this little Governor of this crimson-stained state! What's this: "THE GREAT NEED OF YOUR RACE IS MORE PERSONAL PURITY AMONG BOTH SEXES." I was, and in the am, still disposed, taking into consideration many influences and forces, under the heads of Custom, Tradition and Environment, running back into the centuries, to observe and criticise with some charity, if not complacency, an occasional sin and crime against Black Folks, as slaves, freedmen, and citizens, that that specific section of our land known as the South, has, beyond any other section, been guilty of, but, HERE I reach a dead stop! It is written: "Fools rush in where angels fear to go." When a two by four Executive of a sovereign STATE, and that a SOUTHERN STATE, and that SOUTHERN STATE Mississippi, that statistics informs us leads every Southern State, in the matter of miscegination, forced and otherwise, in which the pursuing culpits were, and are to-day, and will be to-morrow, WHITE MEN, leaving behind them a BROOD OF INNOCENTS, helpless, malmed, stained, facing the battle of life FATHERLESS, jeered at, plitted, a bar slister going with them everywhere, not stopping at the grave, my charity flees from me; an unusual something seems leaping through my veins—and, well, just at this moment meeting the Governor of Mississippi I am very much afraid I could not treat him with politeness.

Provident Hospital and Training School, located at 36th and Dearborn streets, in the most densely populated section of the Negro people of this city, was founded over twenty-five years ago, primarily for the education and training of young colored women in the science and art of nursing; and secondly, for the purpose of giving Negro physicians an opportunity to develop their skill in training along medical and surgical lines. At that time, and, in fact, at the present time there is no hospital training school in Chicago that welcomes young women of African descent into their training school classes. This is also true classmates young Negro physicians as internes. There are no hospital doors open to welcome the members of the Negro race as resident physicians, regardless of their education, both literary and scientific, and their peculiar fitness for internship. In fact we do not know of any post-graduate institution or school, however superior or inferior it may be, that admits, or wif. ever aware of equal terms and conditions. Negro physicians with members of other races. It does not make any difference by much money the Negro physician may willing to pay, or how desirable of progressing and developing in his profession that he may be, there is only one door open that offers him equal opportunity, that offers the young Negro woman an opportunity to develop herself along professional lines, and that one is the Provident Hospital and Training School—an institution that stands as a beacon light to give intelligence and with an open door to the worthy, regardless of race or color, to develop himself or herself in the highest standard of professional efficiency. The only regret of the trustees and officers of this splendid institution is that the place is not larger—the ondment not greater—that there is not more room and positions to offer the young Negro women and EDITOR'S MAIL Ogkhask, Wls., Feb. 18.

I highest praise and support, therefore I invest in keeping the people here interested in learning. The editorials are indeed a masterly defense of our rights of our race. The prominence of the Georgia politics is worth repenting, that the bosses of best citizens that conduct the mob are the ones. He would possibly attend a yachting of ours. The Methodist brother and then wish his hands like Fontan Plate did at the trial of the suspects, his stars, and go to church on Sunday at his home. He may holy communion. Dear Mr. Abbot, that every leader of the race will stand by the Wilson-Vardahl-Tilman rule. Please me but now is the time for our people by their leaders. And there is none who commemorate sentiment better than the President. For a former officer live on, May I ask that I remain on the race. REV. J. P. WOODS Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 5, 1916. Chicago Defender—Dear Edlitt, have been a reader of your Defender for a long time and admire the straightforwardness and fair way you run the Defender. Will you be so kind as to give me the space for this letter at your convenience. I noticed in the Defender of Jan. 29, 1916, in an editorial that you say the white ministers should teach the same right and not be sending missionaries to other lands, which is right and ought to be done. And now while we are raking the millions over the coals, why not our own? Our own ministers are allowing one of the greatest and disgraceful shames that the world has ever known—that of Negroes in business discriminating against Negroes, refusing to serve or work on their own blood; and not a minister, lecturer or any of our race men ever rale a voice in protest. Why not? How can we expect the white man to respect us when we do not respect each other? Traitor to the race for a few dirty dollars; in fact, blood money. And we stand for it because they have to make a living. So have the rest of us, but thank God we make the living with principle and not at the cost of pacing the race. Now why not get behind the ministers, tell them what we want and back them up. Do away with this shameful, unfathful, unkilling, un善ful practice. And also what is this shameful? A. C. P. for—for to fight the white if he discriminates and not our own piece, I suppose. Hopling we soon wake up. ALLEN MACK NO CASES 'ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES --- physicians who are desirous of or obtaining the highest standard on development in the science and art of healing. The Standing of This Institution: Provident Hospital and Training School has a high standing. In fact among the classifications of the institutions in this city, Provident Hospital stands in Class A. It is recognized, listed and recommended by the highest standard of medical men in the city of Chicago. Men like Dr. John B. Murphy, Dr. D. K. E. Dudley and other eminent white surgeons, have operated in Provident Hospital, and they have been most flattering in their remarks that the service given to patients and physicians, and the operating room technique are up to the standard and would compare most suitably with the larger institutions. Frank ement practitioners as Dr. Frank ement practitioners as Dr. C. Smits, W. E. Morgan and W. E. Quine have given the recommendation of this institution, and have gladly accepted positions on the staff of this hospital. We mention the above-named medical men for the purpose of attaining the public with the fact that these men would not allow their names to be connected with, or to be placed upon the staff of any second rate or grade hospital and training school. Staff of Provident Hospital Staff of Provident Hospital. The staff of Provident Hospital enrolls the names of some of the most eminent white and colored medical men in their city. These men attained their positions on the staff, not through favoritism or nepotism, but on the contrary, through service to this institution—their personal worth and standing in the community and in their profession, and they hold their positions on account of their ability to contribute to the welfare of this institution, and to their scientific attainments and work done in the institution. In this hospital the Negro physician work hand in hand, and they obtain the pleasantest and most cordial relationship. We make the declaration that Provident Hospital and Training School has done more, and is doing more to break down race prejudice, obtain for the Negro doctors and nurses, in fact, the Negro people of Chicago, an equal opportunity to progress in development and attain to the highest position and standing that his talent and work may win for him. In this institution there is no color line or "Jiriswim." The white Negro and Negro institution respect each other, eat together sleep together in the same wards and accept treatment as willingly readily at the hands of Negro or Caucasian physician without any manifestation of any complaining section. In fact, the whites for many years, have number colored patients four to one. AUTHORS AND BO Review of New Books, Pamph and Other Literary Effec Submitted to The Chicago Defender. Songs of the Race. Plantation songs and the music generally of the race once enslaved in our land have received for years the marked attention and composers and have been the subject of numerous of such standard books as William F. Franklin Allen's "Slave Songs of the United States." and a modest volume on this theme has just been published by Fokk University of the American Negro; by Fokk Weakley work of the University faculty.
