O SI OBJECT TO NEW ORDER Knights of Damon Claim That New Lodge Is an Infringement —Hearing Set for March 18. Savannah, Ga., March 10—Petition for an injunction to restrain the incorporation of the Independent Protective Order of Knights of Damon, to be filled in the Superior Court yesterday morning by the Supreme Lodge of the Ancient Order, Knights of Damon, of the United States of America. The latter is composed of race people of Savannah, with the lodge of the United States having membership of about 1,200. The charter for the former was asked by members of the same race. It is alleged in the petition of the A. O. K. of D. of the U. S. A. that Jacob Wright and others seeking to incorporate the lodge of the United States were members of the Ancient Order, but became disgruntled and attempted to stir up dissatisfaction and discontent in the ranks of the petitioner. Subsequently, the petition recites, most of them were dropped by the several lodge to which the special objection is made to the fact that the emperor org. zation, which sprang from an element in the A. O. K. of D. of the U. S. A. sought then to term itself the U. O. K. of D. of the World. Not that the lodge of the World rather than confining its spread to the U. S. A.; but to the fact that "Knights of Damon" was sought to be incorporated in the name. This, it is contended by the A. O. K. of D. of the U. S. A. would cause confusion and would mislead others, as well as being trouble and financial loss to the parent order. The point is made that the petitioner by appropriation and use has previously appropriated the part of it called "the Dameon," and the name is valuable to the petitioner. A denial of the petition of Jacob Wright et al is asked; also an injunction to prevent further prosecution of the petitioner against the World and to prevent an infringement on the name of the A. O. K. of D. of the U. S. A. Hearing of this petition has been set by Judge Charlton for March 15. At that time the court will hear also the petition for a charter filed by the petitioners against whom injunction is sought. my Sidewalk Causes Fall—Picket Fence Injures Mouth. Columbus, Ohio. March 19.—Robert Payne, aged 43, was impaled on an iron fence near the corner of Third and Mound streets early last Saturday evening when he slipped on an ice-covered sidewalk and fell across the fence.

Havwah, the police officer, duty, she paid no attention to the white brute. She informed him that she would not move; that it was her duty as a teacher in the public schools. An argument ensued, and the officer became so unnamy and unbelievable that a postman who knew Miss White came to her rescue. More members of the race came up and the police officer was taken to Miss White was taken to jail and later brought before Sergeant Woodard. In order to be mean and contemptible, several persons who had property were refused as bondman. This made more trouble and race men did not hesitate to make it known how unjust the officer was.

CHICAGO still uses a candle and flat flame burner to test the gas she now burns in 450,000 gas ranges. CONSIDERING Gas as a Cooking Fuel—Chicago might just as well test it with a spoon and a tin can, as with a candle and flat-flame burner for the "candle power" of gas has nothing whatever to do with the efficiency of a gas range. The woman who cooks on your Composite range wants gas that will make a hot fire—the hotter the better. Chicago tests the "candle power" of the gas she uses in her ranges, because an ordinance says she must. The ordinance is a back number—a relic of the days when we lighted our streets with flat-flame burners. Today this ordinance is standing in the way of progress. It is a big obstacle to any plan towards the manufacture of cheaper and more efficient gas for the purpose that gas is now used. Great Falls, Mont., March 16—Oscar M.

Florence McClain has lost none of her fame, but she loves her song, "Louisville," with a clever dance which is a hit. Montgomery sings a descriptive comedy number that is some better than any other, but by dieser effekt much much. The finale is a song and dance by the trio, and taken up one side and down the other, the song is some better than any other, and is easily the hit of a good bill, which includes Carolina, the great comedian, who offers many lovely twitters; Richard Hammond, the great comedian; and the clever team of artists, one of whom carries a crackerjack English dial without a hitch, and the Six Jacksones, a musical team of six performers.

They brought in numbers, Johnny Woods and Little Henry created the usual riot and Henry called some new stuff that was a scream, and they brought in a new music that received a hearty welcome, and were the recipients of much hand.

The first named feature was adapted from the book "Frankenstein" and has cast a more comment from the previous year, for a long time. It deals with the artificial creation of a superman who acts as the villain, the dramatic and sensational hate-rating exploits, a love theme runs through the story which is given in five reels. Will People Say This is the madame's fourth pictorial triumph, she having starred previously in My Madonna, Tamara McCormack, a brilliant emotional actress and in Monday's feature she will be seen at her beat.

LINCOLN GARDENS Lincoln Gardens, which is now under the management of Art Simons, is standing by in popularity. As an amateur dancer, she absolutely at the head of the class in the spring, and is the only one of the healthiest of positives; and coupled with the fact that on four nights of each week, many Tuesdays, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, she is for dancing, after 11 p. m., and continuing until 2:20 a. m., it is no wonder that she is the most popular. On dance nights the skaters have the floor until time to start dancing, the dance music be furnished by Prof. Mr. Simons has had many years' experience in the skating risk business, in the handling of skateboards, in handling of an institution of this kind. As the gardeners was the subject of much adverse criticism while under its former ownership, they underestimated that his operation of the rink will be done on a plan that will make proper behavior by all patrons a priority. As this Mr. Simons said to our reporter: "You can say for me that in the future, Gardens, they will be compelled by me in a manner that will allow a man to safely send his wife or daughter to enjoy the rink, and I want it understood that I will consider myself personally responsible for the behavior of each individual patron. I will be made by any one person to another, unless they are acquaintances, to my personal knowledge. In other words, good behavior will be made by any one person and every effort will be made to put the gardens on a higher plane than it has ever been on the ice. I will be made to answer my I deem unit in any way, and under the system which I will use, am sure that many of the patrons will be satisfied with the handling of the rink so much as to suit the most fastidious. It is hard to see anything but success for Lincoln Gardens, and its progress under Art Simon's management should be a big step in pushing for the welfare of the enterprise.

Alvarez told me the story of Johnson's trips after the battle. "Johnson usually was accompanied by Carley on all his side trips to the sporting resorts of Havana," said the driver. "He was the one they took out to Camp Columbia—about his son's house about 10 in the evening. He met me with Carley and Prazez. I was ordered to drive them to a little grocery store near Camp Columbia—about midway between the camp and the Tropical brewery. Johnson Instructs Willard. "When we arrived there we had a shot wait for Jones and Willard. They came in a cab after a long drive.

After the conference Willard was called out and he and Johnson shaped up their hands. Johnson apparently was instructing Willard, and the latter was leading with a right for the jaw.

Moreover, he was at the Stadium, and had a good chance to watch him. He new: exerted him. Instead of taking off weight in the last week, he actually gained four or five pounds.

NIMROD LEADS LINDSAY The twenty game championship match between A. Johns Nimrod vs. Samuel W. Lindsey is attracting great attention at postgame. Interest has been intense for the game, and the team has played sixteen (16) games. Nimrod took the lead in the third game, after two carefully drawn games had been played, and held his own against the opposing team. The corner game Lindsey tied the count, bringing the score 4 to 4. In the fifteenth game Nimrod had a close call, but managed to get a draw by clever end play. In the sixth game Nimrod tied the count by using a new tactics by using one of adopted by Nimrod in the game of Bristol. He got into trouble towards the end of the game and Nimrod slipped. In the seventh game, the count, Nimrod 5, Lindsey 4, with 7 draws and four remaining games to play. Y. M. C. A. CHECKKER NEWS. Last Thursday evening the South Side checker team and the Wabash tea played a tie at the Y. M. C. A. M. Hines finished his games with Mr. Leroy and the Wabash tea games. It was a creditable record for Mr. Jones, as Mr. Levy is a checker player of no mean ability. But in the series Mr. Levy got revenge by shoving Mr. Levy from the game. So far the gentlemen are even, Mr. Himes gets another chance to put over four straight. But the feature of the evening was the sensational playing of Mr. Levy, who won four straight games from Mr. Carrion. He would take to tell how it was done. Sam was in the form, and said he doubled very much if Mr. Turruh had anything on him that evening. Dozier tled with Sussex, chiming one and losing one. The score: Y. M. C. A. South Side.

Since the initial publication of "The Journal of Negro History" a few southern newspapers have scoffed at the idea of the Negro having a history creditable enough to turn the flight of day upon. Surely these editors have taken the word of Topsys, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Ijes growed, as being literally the way the race came here. There is much for them to learn and they could make no better start than by reading and absorbing the facts in this same journal. As early as 2,500 years before the birth of Christ the Ethiopians appeared to have a civilization far beyond that of other races. The eminent historian Heeren, speaking of the great fame of the Ethiopians, says: "In the earliest traditions of nearly all the more civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found. The annals of the Egyptian priests were full of them; the nations of inner Asia, on the Emuhrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their own traditions of the conquests of wars of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology." When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets. And when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the luster of the Ethiopians is not diminished. They still continue the object of curiosity and admiration; and the pens of caution, clear-sighted historians place them in, the highest rank of knowledge and civilization. Modern historians apparently are ignorant of many facts concerning the early life of this wonderlful race of people, and if this is true of historians, what more expected of the present day descendants of this dark race? We are densely ignorant and not altogether to blame for our condition, facts and desires are not to be had for the asking. Our school histories were blank on the subject, and the supposition that we had no history worth while became a belief. The aim of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History is to raise funds to employ several investigators to collect all historical and sociological material hearing on the Negro before it is lost to the world. Unless this is done the Negro is in danger of becoming a negligible factor in the thought of the world. We must tell our own story if we would have the whole truth known. ST.

IT HAS BEEN EVIDENT for some time that the largest city through which Chicago's drainage canal passes, namely St. Louis, is not only vegetation but is reverting to the customs in vogue in the rebel states some sixty old years ago. Missouri is what is termed a "border state" with inclinations to fall into the mire rather than into a grass covered plot. The demon Prejudice has ever and anon attempted to throttle the goddess of fair play and justice. Why, only the untractable, left-over rebels who seem from their voting strength to dictate the policy of this un-American city, can tell. Last week a special election was held. The two propositions voted upon were similar in character. One of the ordinances provided that a Negro may not become a resident in a block occupied entirely by those of opposite color. The other imposed the same restrictions in blocks constructed to cent white or the similar percentage of Negro residents. Both passed by a large majority. That they will be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court is almost a certainty, but it means that all the fighting strength of the armed citizens, white and black, must be called into play to drive these armed back into the city. Men and women who deliberately vote to curtail the rights and liberties of another set of men and women because of prejudice of any description deserve no place under the stars and stripes and should be treated as enemies to the government, for are they not passing and trying to enforce laws contrary to the Constitution of these United States? We are told that if thy enemy smite the on one check turn the other theoretically speaking, that might work out all right, but the practical thing is to fight it on the lines of right and justice if it takes till Judgment Day. If you play with dirt one expects to get dirty, so let the good people of St. Paul fight if they must go down in the gutter to trounce these dollars of the law, for a good purpose and that the dirt will all come of in the first wash. THE WHITE MAN'S SACRIFICE. THE POOR WHITE MAN IS SO OVERTAXED, he does so much for humanity from the goodness of his heart, plus his inhonor greed, editor of the Chicago Journal says "resignity American marines are order in Italy, suffering an emotional casualty in the process, an surgeons and sanitarians are lighting hookworm and malaria in Mexico.

The sanitarian who wears out life saving the brown babies of distant lands thereby loses the of ever fondling babies of his own, is the world permanently better sacrifice, or not?" itching, if you don't stop to look behind the screen. The white man gathered the extreme cold and reached the North Pole—and WE were him—he has dug deep into the bowels of the earth for personal gain with him—he has imitated the birds in the air—and WE were with him. THE POOR WHITE MAN IS SO OVERTAXED, he does so much for suffering humanity from the goodness of his heart, plus his inherent greed. The editor of the Chicago Journal says elegantly American marines are keeping order in Haiti, suffering an emotional casualty in the process, American surgeons and sanitarians are lighting hookworm and malaria in Porto Rico. American surveyors and builders have chartered and marked with lightshouses a new way through the most dangerous seas that surround the Philippines, and soon will be obliged to take up the job of rebuilding civilization in Mexico. Let us quote: "So far as our present foresight can reach, the net result of English, French or American rule of darker lands is to breed the less efficient races faster than ever, while keeping some of the ablest members of our own race from breeding alone." The sanitarian who wears out his own life saving the brown babies of distant lands loses the chance of ever fondling babies of his own. Is the world permanently better for his sacrifice, or not? Touching, if you don't stop to look behind the screen. The white man has weathered the extreme cold and reached the North Pole—and WE were with him—he has dig deep into the bowels of the earth for personal gain—and WE were with him—he has inflated the birds in the air—and WE have been with him—he has gone to war for the right and for conquest—and WE want right along with him. Whatever he has done has been done with a more or less selfish motive. It is folly to think of him risking his life, say in West Africa or the Philippines. It isn't human matter. We are unfortunate, neither are we simple enough to think that we were especially picked out to be favored. The white man thrives on the kind of sacrifice he is making, we can save our pity for a more worthy cause. THE FIFTH TIME Coverar Dunne reproved Elston Scott, who once of death at Murphysboro, Ill., for the murder of his son that Shafer White of Jackson county has not will be heard decently.

THIS IS THE MAN DETECTIVE Joe Campbell has been sentenced to hang on Good Friday because the murder of Mrs. Allen was shoved on his shoulders. The race-loving citizens must rally to his aid. Look at the picture; it tells the story itself. THINK, THEN ACT. OUR PERCENTAGE GROWING SMALLER OVERED POPULATION of the United States, with per cent of the total population, in 1790, to total, in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1922 per cent, while during the same period they by 22.2 per cent. There has been a continuous decrease in the per cent of the total population, due, at least in part, to a population has been continually augmented, has been very little immigration on our side. War will of course change conditions made great length of time. Problem if left alone is in a fair way of being logical and natural. Attempts to force the last much longer. From 19 per cent to 10 per cent a drop and with a little more heat unant will be still lower. There is quite a dote and black immigrants, the former areigrant classes of other nations, while the latter from Jamaica, South America and other places, and with a determination to get more saw-immigrants with dark skins in any great work in this country? What a contrast to the man but never fully get naturalized and insmenace to the country. Even though we are every other way, and after all, it is brains every other way, and after all, it is brains. THE COLORED POPULATION of the United States increased from 757,268, or 19.3 per cent of the total population, in 1790, to 9,827,763, or 10.7 per cent of the total, in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1910 was at the rate of 11.2 per cent, while during the same period the white population increased by 22.2 per cent. Since 1910 there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion which we have formed of the total population, due, at least in part, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented by immigration, while there has been very little immigration on our side during the past hundred years. War will of course change conditions materially if it continues for any great length of time. The race problem if left alone is in a fair way of being solved in a way entirely logical and natural. Attempts to force the issue simply retard the solution that much longer. From 19 per cent to 10 per cent of the total population is quite a drop and with a little more heat under the mating pot the per cent will be still lower. There is quite a difference in the main of the ignorant and black immigrants, the former are made up in the main of the ignorant and classes of other nations, while the latter almost invariably come from immigration to America and other places with a high degree of knowledge, and with a determination to get more. Who ever saw immigrants with dark skin in great numbers, doing the seclusion work in this country? What a contrast to the whites who not only are ignorant but never fully get naturalized and instead of being a benefit a menace to the country. Even though we are not as strong numerically in every other way, and after all, it is brains not brawn that stronger in every other way, and after all, it is brains not brawn that counts. A LEGAL POINT A MUSKOGEE, OKLA., attorney defending a man charged with murder, raised a curious legal point when he demanded on certain technical grounds that his client be tried by a jury of his own race. In the light of the kind of justice meted out by southern white juries to any dark face that came before them, his plea was not unreasonable. There is no denying the fact that every one starts in with a handicap of 75 per cent, providing of course that they are fortunate enough to even get a trial, fair or unfair, for it must be remembered that mobs have the first say so. While perhaps a farmer should be tried by a jury of farmers, that a woman should be tried by a jury of women so on, is all wrong. Nothing could be more prejudicial to the cause of oppression than the idea that special consideration of race, creed, politics, sex, social station or any of the incidental social distinctions of humanity will insure justice. The only safe and sane theory on which the administration of justice can be promoted is that all men are citizens before the law; that jurors will mete out justice impartially, regardless of all superficial considerations. If justice cannot be secured on the broad and common plane of citizenship, which is above all incidental facts of race, then justice cannot be secured at all and the administration of the law is unworthy the name. It is an up hill proposition to secure anything like justice in some sections of this jury, for the black man. Still, with this condition staring in the face it is that no class distinctions be injected into the trial of any case, it would be that another form of "Jim Crowism," and of that we have had little chance. BAD EGGS can no longer be palmed off on the innocent purchaser without a cockerel. The "Bad Egg" law, which was passed by the last general assembly, is to be enforced. Any restaurant patron who is served with an egg that isn't what it should be, or any housewife who purchases from a grocer "strictly fresh," "selected," or "guaranteed" eggs that are unfit for consumption can have the offending vender prosecuted. Now let the egg fans look happy. MAYOR THOMPSON is built out of the kind of timber that never gives up a fight for the right, as long as there is the slightest hope of winning, and in this he has the full support of the right thinking citizens of this big city. The aldermen who attempt to place barriers in the way of reforms should receive little encouragement at the hands of the voters. The graft committee is bad enough here as it is, but let us not get in New York's class. NEWS FROM THE FRONT. Jack Johnson and Sam Langford are preparing to have a little friendly bout, just for the exercise and incidentally to rake in a stack of eagles. South America has been selected as the stage, and as it is a few steps away fight fans had better begin to save up their pennies for traveling expenses. COLLECTIONS OF A DIME each are made from New York children to buy a battleship, and every advocate of preparedness is asked to send the government a dollar to make us safe. Also every fit man is urged to train himself for the business of killing the other fellow. Some country this. STRANGE how some things will make a city famous. Here's Chicago, for example, which is known as the home of The Chicago Defender, P. S. Somebody said he that tooteth not his own horn the same shall not be tooted. THERE IS GROUND FOR DELIEF that in many instances the southern sheriff's resistance to lynching parties is superficial, if he is not actually in sympathy with the mob. IT IS A GOOD THING that Lent rolls around once a year, it gives the smart set a chance to rest up a bit from their round of social stunts without seeming to be quitters. SPEAKING OF SHOOTING GAS, Germany has done it successfully and made a clean get away; still, the barber shop gas which is more vicious has not the deadly effect of the former. WELL, ANYWAY, President Wilson when he leaves the chair at the end of his term will be an expert on note writing. SAVE UNCLE SI PAUPER BURIAL Prominent Elginites to Carry Out Last Wish of Aged Man. Several prominent Elgin residents have contributed for the initial of "Uncle SI" in his boyhood, the well-known and popular race car driver of the Elgin man was loved by Elgin's prominent residents for whom he had worked, and missing his familiar face will cause treated for many children, who have treated "Uncle SI" like the faithful friend that he was. Worked on Mississippi Boats. Served on the Mississippi New Orleans December 18, 1837, and after working "slowchickers" on the Mississippi for several years came to Eglin in 1869. He took the Louis Hills at the old Kirkham House, and garded as a valuable employee, and in the following year married Elizabeth Harris. He was accident at the Prairie street crash when 10 years old, and this death caused a shade of melancholy to fall over the hill at many old jobs in his picturesque life and has heaten rugs for Mrs. August Scheele, Mrs. D. J. Chamberlain, Mrs. C. J. Chamberlain, Mrs. Fred Murray and many others. For seventeen years the aged man had made his home with Mrs. Murray at 267 Prairie called "Nfs coop." But a short time ago the conditions under which he lived it necessary for Supervisor Sills county farm at狄哇in, where he died. Mrs. Murray fearfully recalled the life of Bettie Murray, who was acquainted with him ever since her childhood, and stated that, although his face was black, his heart was white. Since she was remoted to him at Murray's home, his food clothing, which was greatly appreciated by "Linda Si." At one time when the 73-year-old man informed Mrs. Murray of the request that he had buried his wife, Mrs. Murray has carried out his wish and he was buried at Bluff City Cemetery. Bible stories were his delight and he enjoyed unbelievable enjoyment in delivering well-known Bible quotations. One curious feature of the man's life was the fact that he would never work if any other man did. He was a Wise Giver True. He delighted in covering the graves with flowers and he often remarked, saying: "I wonder if anyone will place a grave in my memory." A blanket of curnations covers his grave, the gift of many Elgin friends. Rev. Phillip H.

RACE SCHOOL MAY GET $5,000 White Men Praise Normal and Industrial Institute at Mass Meeting — Subscriptions Are Raised. Give Them Thm A great many mer dilemness when they not getting in the By Fred. J. Braxton, D. D. S. The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract which includes the stomach and intestines. The first act of digestion takes place within the mouth, while masticating the food, which is a very important function and easily neglected by the majority of us, during this process the food comes in contact with the saliva. The saliva is a digestive ferment and converts all starchy foods into sugars, preparing it for further digestion in the intestines. It also softens the food in making it easier to swallow. It is quite apparent that if solid food is swallowed whole, or not properly masticated, it cannot be prepared for further digestion, with the result that we have dyspepsia and many other complaints. Some of the chief reasons for our failure to masticate and insulate the food are: haste, deacidized teeth, and pyrrorea. During the present day many inventions have been perfected as time savers; but the greatest mistake we make is to attempt to save time in masticating our food. We may save time for the present, but we must pay dearly for it in the end. Where the teeth are decayed or abcessed we fear to bite down on account of the path, and fail to masticate our food, also in pyrrorea a condition in which the teeth are discharged of pus from the gums properly masticate our food on account of the soreness. Under these conditions the teeth can be from the gum that is intended by me. In the cavities of decayed teeth and in discharged from abcesses and teeth diseased by pyrrorea can be found millions of bacteria, commonly called germs. To the present date at least 150 varieties of germs have been found in the human mouth. These include the germs causing pneumonia, typhoid fever, in giraffe, tuberculosis, small pox, syphilis and pus-producing organisms. The cavities of the germs are good breeding places for bacteria, and in pyrrorea there is also a germ. NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THIS WEEKLY ARTICLES rapid reproduction of disease hearing germs. You probably wonder why you are not infected with some of these germs. And no doubt you are, but you are not aware of the fact. When diseased conditions are present in the mouth the bacteria that are produced pass with the food into the stomach and intestines, and enter into the general blood circulation. Their presence in the blood is indicated by certain forms of rheumatism, septic abscesses, gastric ulcers, heart disease, and many other dangerous symptoms. Also you may be subject to headaches as a result of this septic matter causing a general toxemia or systemic poisoning; you cannot perform your work properly when your teeth are aching, or when your body is in an uneasy condition as the result of a mouth. At the present time all selected physicians examine the mouth and their teeth treated if necessary; for if the mouth is not in a healthy condition of the body. Therefore an unhealthy body is impossible to cure your unhealthy body. Furthermore, when your teeth are lost there is a depression along the lips of the absorption of the body process supporting the teeth causing a lash of the mouth. Therefore you should consider your facial appearance in addition to your health. And when the teeth are decayed, which causes them to break off, there is a gap left which is very noticeable especially in the front part of the mouth, and also very disgraceful to the sight, although it may not be distasteful to yours. No lady can be beautiful, nor no man handsome with bad looking teeth. The necessity of dental treatment is apparent to every one, and in this civil age there is no excuse for washing the body externally and allowing the mouth to remain is a fear and diseased condition. With the modern methods of the dentist of today no one should fear to have their teeth attended to, which should be at least every six months.
