He dared to think and net until history changed its course towards the race. He lived the idea of the true idea of brotherhood of man.

Matt Housley and Ralph Nicolas, who are the headliners at the Grand this week, is one of the most popular teams in vaudeville. They have what might be called a standard set, which carries with it just enough comedy to justify "falling it a comedy-musical act." For 6 years the team of Housley and Nicolas has been a familiar one to vaudeville fans everywhere, and during that period big and small, in America and Canada. They are versatile musicians, and use a wide variety of instruments. In their present engagement they are introducing a novelty which causes a sensation, and one which has never before been attempted. In the rendition of a duet with cornet and trombone, Housley ills the cornet and Nicolas the trombone. They are the only two of his own instrument. Housley slides his over-the- instrument to the same time Nicolas tings Housley's cornet, this being accomplished by an interlocking of arms. They perform this peculiar and difficult feat so expertly that Nicolas fingers an obligate on Housley's cornet while the latter slides the melody on Nicolas's trombone. This stunt must be seen to be an example of the new way of working. Indeed, on Monday night, it actually stopped proceedings, the act being forced to respond to three encores and two bows, with plenty of noise for the act following. Both Housley and Nicolas served their apprenticeship with one of the Williams and Walker attractions, having been with them for four seasons previous to entering vaudeville. They have been working for a few weeks, and they were worked 50 consecutive weeks. They start over the Sun time next week, opening in Detroit. In the photo play of the above name, which comes to the States Theater on Saturday, Feb. 26, the results of the play are an initial, vital, unfortunate master. The woman was young and married. She was lonely because her husband neglected her. She thought she had lost his love. She was a woman of great intelligence, who advised her to flirt with terribly man. She did, but with more intended. It is then that she had ever intended. It is then that she picture for us bands, wives and girls, to see, as it teaches a startling lesson. Gertrude Robinson and Afrem Huden, the popular stars, appear in the leasing roles. The team of Smith and Glenn are covering the Gus Sun time and are in Lima, Ohio, this week. According to the newspaper reports the act is going great. They are considering an offer to Sweepers' and the scheme is a distinct novelty. They are considering an offer from Mr. Sun, who wants to handle the act personally, and it is not improbable they will accept his proposition, which may mean a possible booking of the team for a solid year. The Dragon, which has just been released by the Equitable Programme, is coming to the States of Mexico and for one day Margarita Fischer, who was seen at this house last Sunday in the great sonation, Infatuation, and who stared in The Miracle of Life. She is a woman of dignity, eminently fitted for the part of the youthful and unsophisticated heroine who unwittingly brings disaster and death to her father and soured his mind. That she overcomes the evils and escapes the perils that beset her is to be expected, but the father brought about will prove a surilling surprise, and proves that retributive justice works out its own ends, and that murder cannot be the loss of his wife through the lure of the red lights of the great white way, which he tells Messala is a dragon lying in wait for her father. The Dragon, goes up the white way, and her meetings with people bring destruction and death to the enemies of her father, and she effected the loss of the effect she is having on their lives. Messalla escapes the wiles of the white slaver. She allows the discarded flame of a big merchant to take her place at a dinner to which she has been invited, and the merchant suffers at the hands of the discarded woman. A policeman's attention is called to her; and a man is killed by an automobile while he is looking at Messalla. At a lacemaker's, where she stops, a wealthy young woman is tempted to take some lace because Messalla has admired it, is caught and jailed. There is a robbery affecting some papers which have been taken and replaced by a bomb, and she gives the package to a woman, who turns out to be her father's lost wife, the house being destroyed after Messalla and the woman leave. There is a reconciliation. All those injured were people who had injured her father, and The Dragon had been slain by Messalla's youth and innocence. In this story is a wonderful presentation of the idea that youth and innocence can and will conquer the Dragon, which it has been said lies in wait for those who fall into its clutches in the city's streets. Miss Fischer reveals a dramatic power which convincingly portrays the perils that beset her path. Fifth avenue in the story is the Dragon. It is the cause of the girl's death, and the man is traced to another man, and the resultant mistery that ever follows. Fifth avenue that street, are the backgrounds for many of the scenes. Permission was sequestered less than two reels were staged in front of such buildings as the Cathedral, Public Library, Plaza Hotel, Tiffany's, Walden Road, and the home of Rockefeller's city home, Fifth avenue, and Forty-second street, the business of the world, and many famous spots. The cast in support of Miss Fischer includes among others,atherine Carr, Carly Fiorina, Kate Winslet, Joseph Harris and Bennett Southard. The States Theater could only secure this attraction for one day, Sunday, February 21. Madrice starts at 3 o'clock sharp. THE GRAND. This house returned to their regular policy, vaudeville, on Monday night, with the band Dogs in tailbone and host-relief reproductions were decidedly novel and clever. They are followed by singer in a mothball, cruelving under the billing of "Musical Nonsense." They went well, as did also the band Dogs, who has a rich falsetto voice of wide range. Housand and Nicholas, the clever musical team were also involved in the works and taking three genres. The comedy work of Nicholas is not, real, but overbred at any stage, in the musical ability in which vows hold true and favorite hymns have him and Company, seven women one little man, give an excellent attainment in songs and novelty es. eagerly and Nicole remain all week, H. D. Hullady, assisted by W. A. Ailey, comes for a week's stay on Sunday. THE MONOGRAM. It seemed like old times to see Johnny Woods, the popular ventriloquist, and Ils little pat Henry, back again. Johnny had a severe sick spell in the south, and for a time it looked as if Henry would have to come back to the Stroll alone. The act has last none of its popularity everything that was offered was with the large audience which was on Monday night. Teresa Bur-Brooks, the popular soubrette, was more than pleasing, and created equally as favorable an impression as she did at the other house last week. The other net was the sister team of Gant and Perkins, the dentslef at seen here in moons. They created a distinct hit, especially with the Araby number which they did, with an oriental costume a wigale and made the natives cry more. The bill is a bear, and at-dance is good. THE NEW.MONOGRAM The bill this week is an excellent one. It opens with Churchie, a comedy-music strong point is the harmonies, on which he does some real imitations. Harper time ago, are back and introduce several new songs, and some new chatter.

We need difficulties so far as the second Wied is concerned. By this they will be to do something that the race is constantly losing, of the narrow and solitary white minority. They would then be in a position to secure representation on the board of education, in the executive branches of the government, on the bench of the municipal and county courts, board of county commissioners, and any other department necessary and advantageous to establish the civil rights of the Chicago in fact as well as in law. To do this we must secure absolute control of some unit in our government as a word. Important colored people have nomination. They colored people have to take control of the ward. The only thing now necessary is to let the average colored people take control of the ward. The very short time in the Second Ward the colored people will come completely into their political and civil freedom on the same basis as the minority and some few other people who still follow white leadership, no matter how injurious, will naturally oppose them. The minority and some few other people, as they say, that we should not take both of the aldermen. That is the very thing which we should and propose to do. We should show that in the Second Ward the colored voter is in control, and will announce the fact to the city and the country that the colored people must be dealt with directly in all future political considerations in life. The latter must be dealt with directly about ten months in a more potent infiltral figure in the city council than Alderman Norris after four years. This is a very important duty we can do in supplying men of power and constructive talents if they only had the opportunity to show what they can do in the city council. We must justice we established we have ourselves the most to blame. Two colored aldermen and a city council discharging their duties will do justice to our city. Their sons will do more to dispel race prejudice and discrimination in our city by bringing white men than almost all blacks. We are only those who do things.

Committeeman Madden not only discriminates in his appointive places against the major portion of his constituents in the Second Ward because they are colored but in the First Ward District, where the colored vote at least 60 per cent, he discriminates against the colored people in his preference for elective places.

This is the awful record of injustice and inequality against colored people in the First Congressional District and the Second Ward, where the colored people constitute the major portion of the Republican vote. Mr. Tippier gets $3,000; Edward H. Wright gets $3,000; Louis B. Anderson, $3,000; A. J. Carey, $2,400, and Mr. Tippier, $1,000, because Mayor Thompson has a personal account and in spite of the Madison organization. From his record it is clear that if these appointments had been left to Committeeman Madison the colored mayor never have received such appointments. The Selfishness of Madden. Congressman Madden is not satisfied with being congressman as a result of his criticism of his institution, criticizes against, but he has difficulty inness and the effrontery to impose upon the white minority as well by taking for granted that he has possible office. He has established spolite gachy of which he and his klm are the prize beneficiaries. He is congressman, president, and now a candidate for delegate to the national convention. He had his son-in-law, Paul Henderson appointed to a $4,800 grant, and have been given to some lovely luck. He have been keeping him in congress to little or no benefit to the great (Stephen G.-Thompson.) masses of the colonized voters. He will continue this record of unjust race discrimination so long as colored people are represented in the colored voter submit to this outrage? Not satisfied with having discriminated against colored people in the elective and the judicial discriminates against the colored voters in the matter of precinct captains. To five per cent, a minority vote he gives five per cent, a majority vote he gives only thirty-four out of seventy-four. Although the colored vote is three times as many as the minority vote he gets six more captains than the colored people. This is done for the purpose of impressing upon the colored people that the minority in the minority and have no power. for the year last year there were upwards of 1,000 arrests. As in the case of Wetherspoon, they opened in Nashville in 1914, but they were all closed the first of January, 1915, and maintained close control the entire year. In 1916, they divorced.

Prof. Holmes Asks That State More Attention to Delinquent Members of the Race. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 18.—There are 4,455 persons sent to the stockade during past year, of which 570 were white people; 900 were colored; 2,924 were members of the 164 race women or seven to every one of them. Professor B. B. Holmes, president of the Holmes Institute, to a large audience of citizens in Beulah Baptist church a few Sundays ago. "Seventy-five per cent of the Race sent to the stockade were minus a good home school to the people never attended school. This class of Race people have more than 1,000 children who attend any school. Many of these children alone, without food, clothing and fuel, all are taken out of the public schools and to run about the streets and grow up about the morance and crime, while their parents county would be stockade. The city and county would appropriate money if they would appropriate money for building a home and school for the children. It is high time that the South Side and see the necessity of being fair and for the members of the Race. When seven men are sent to the Race to one white man are sent to the Race, then there is no wonder that there is no proper look after their children. The Race will get rich of their an eye. White men get rich of their an eye. White men will come forward leading the white man and deceiving the Race as imprisoned.

Time was when the speeches of the rlp-rearing, tooth-grashing Southern politicians stirred the North to anger. Now the North regards them as comics. Whenever those people of our own people who listen with mouths agape to our raw-head-and-bloody-hones orators learn that outside of the South these great ones are regarded with amused pity, if regarded at all, some other style of southern oratory will become fashionable. But of course the lynching style of oratory will continue so long as it pays. In the parlance of the street, this is getting them told right and there is no doubt, coming as it does from one of their own number, it will have great weight with the people who are fortunate enough to see the article. Too long has the North and South smoothed over matters that should have been thrashed out in the open. Let us have more on the same subject. The truth is the light. THERE IS QUITE a difference between Webster's definition of "neutrality" and the American public's, speaking "Germanically." IT BEGINS TO LOOK LIKE William Jennings Bryan intends to throw his whole political weight against his old friend Woodrow.

First by wearing a brace strengthening from the outside; influence from without. Second, by being acted upon from within," said Dr. George Cleveland Hall in a M. Y. C. A. dedicatory address in Cincinnati recently. Few people realize their own shortcomings. It is an easy matter to see the fault in others, but very hard to discover, or, rather, acknowledge, our own. Acting a man's part has always been conditioned by various standards, depending upon national or local uses or racial idiosyncrasies; the progress of a race and the development of ideas and ideals have been in a large measure controlled by political exigencies, and a man's part has been for a long time modified and limited according to the purpose and ambitions of the ruling powers. Gradually these conditions have changed, an American, with its democratic ideals and ideas, is allowing men more argely to determine and shape their own destinies. While we have not a perfect democracy, we have the nearest approach to it. We have declared all men free, that there shall be an equality of opportunity for all. These things have made this country the Mecca for the oppressed of every land, and yet a large number of real Americans are denied rights and privilege accorded the scum of other nationalities. But our crying, complaining days are over. We have come to the realization that a thing worth having is worth fighting for. So we went our sleeves. The result time will tell. We are citizens of this great country by virtue of our manhood, but the kind of citizens depends upon what we do and what we are. To everyone the question should come. How are we showing ourselves to be men? Do we recognize our manhood, to know it ourselves? The greatest thing in life is discovery, and the greatest discovery is self-discovery. The obligation to succeed up to the fullest measure of what is possible to him in life rests upon every man; not as a blind giant clutching at shadows and sounds instead of tangible substance within his reach, but with a determination and a purpose to take his proper place in the great scheme of things around him. GEORGIA MOMENTARILY STIRRED UP: GOVERNOR NAT HARRIS, who has announced his candidacy for re-election, says that lynching must be stopped in that state. No doubt the Governor means well, but the statement would have considerably more weight had it been made some year or two ago. Lynching isn't a new pastime with Georgians; it has been going on long before Governor Harris took his seat, and doubtless will continue unless something more than talk is done about it, and that something must not come entirely from the white side. Other races have found effectual ways of stopping persecution. Why cannot we? The South Carolina laws, in addition to providing that the legal representative of the person lynched may bring action against the county in which the lynching occurs to the amount of $2,000. In any court of competent jurisdiction, apply also a severe penalty to the officer who permits a prisoner to be taken away from him and lynched or done bodily harm by an unlawful assemblee of people. The attorney-general of the state is directed to designate in which county in the judicial circuit trial shall be had of the escoring officer other than the county in which the lynching occurred, and the officer is held to be guilty of a misdemeanor. He is suspended from once the lynching occurs, and upon presentation of a bill, is deposed by sending trial. If he is convicted he is forever freed from holding once in the state unless indicted by the governor. THE WAR CONTINUES and Uncle Sam is still talking preparedness and doing little toward accomplishing the end.

AT OAK FOREST HOSPITAL Dr. Morrison of Kentucky Refuses to Allow Patients of the Race to Go Out on Porches or in Tuber= culosis Cottages at New Cook County In= institute Dr A. W. Williams' Obser= vation of Conditions Bring Comment. --- Certain information came to this office that there was class distinction at the Cook County Tuberculosis Hospital, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the health department for the Chicago Defender, made some references and observations relative to the matter in this paper a few weeks ago. When he did so there was no intention to discredit the authors, but he did inquire the institution in any way. It was learned that Dr. Morrison did refuse to allow patients of the race to go out on the porch or in he tuberculosis cottages, but he did not refuse to attend until Dr. Morrison of Kentucky came there and was placed at the head of the tuberculosis department. The Defender wants to know if it is not a fact that race is not a factor in tuberculosis, and could not be added up like cattle with them in advanced stages. Are patients of other races so classified? The position of the Defender is to have all wards in the hospital in the same manner as the letter from Superintendent Bayley, who seeks to correct those irregularities in the future.
