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. One of the pickets entered his throat, just behind the chin, and penetrated the tongue and the roof of the mouth. How Payne was hanging in this position, unable to assist himself, is not known. A passerby found Payne hanging on the fence and, after lifting him off, called the police. Payne was removed to St. Francis' hospital, where his injuries were dressed. Because of the nature of the injury, he became unable to articulate after living at home and age, and his address was not learned. RESULTS L TEACHER of the Race Leaving South Inhuman Treatment Administering Justice the earth was covered with snow. Boylike, the children would throw snowballs. There had been complaints at the school and at the police station. She was doing her duty in stopping white boys who had been throwing snowballs. It was then that the big red Irish copper, with no sense of decency or propriety, desiring to show his authority and picking a woman and educator to do so, run up to Miss White and ordered her to move on. 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. She was an outrage that the matter reached the ears of the leading people of the city who claim now that the officer and the sergeant must suffer for barbarous acts. Attorney White, Miss White's brother, has the matter in hand. He has spent several days in preparing a case against Officer Harris, who insulted and arrested his sister, and Sergeant Woodward, who refused several of the race to go on his sister's band. Many of the respectable white people have heard of the case and one of the officers who said he was the kind that are causing the best of the race to leave Chattanooga and go North and West where they are treated with more respect and courtesy. It has startled the city when it was learned that the officer called Miss White names, and said you d— nigger, I'll beat your brains out. Miss White remonstrated and he pulled her around as though she was unhuman. When the wagon came, the Irishman siruted around like a peacock in though he had caught a murderer's hand. He had caught a murderer's hand, and he said he was supposed to treat all women at least decently. And this is the kind of men who have charge of the police force in America's ad are yelling for Home Rule at Jr. Just because Miss White didn't stop, the white boys frock the people, and a rule laid down by the J.D. was the cause of this brutal handling a woman of charisma, the effort will be him pay for his actions for the white. --- SATURDAY WANT "BIRTH OF A NATION" CENSORED Keokuk, IA., March 10.—The city council has taken no official action on the protest made Saturday by a committee of local Negroes against the brining of a birth of a Nation' here.

He is a wonderful man for his age. He is well preserved and does not show his great age. He has a wonderful memory. A number of Tinley Park women visited at the infirmary last week and had a talk lasting an hour and a half with the aged man, who gave them a graphic sketch of his remarkable life. He said he was born a slave on a plantation in Misselsppi County, Missouri, and that at the age of four years his mother was sold, and he distinctly remembers the day when his mother said, "Do not forget your mother, John," as she was being sold on the auction block.

When Judge Hooper had denied his decision and had denied a further motion for a stay of execution, Capella was ordered to step forward to the bar of the court.

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.

Several years ago race women were employed by this corporation as a employee, and the same women were employed by this race women suffer the humiliation of being discharged, but through the desire of the board of control to vacate their positions and employ white malds.

RALLY TO AID OF TEACHERS Many Conditions at the Ferrin School Not Half as Bad as Painted — Complaints Come from Wrong Source. The Ferrin school seems to have been the subject of many people since the article appeared in the Defender calling the parents' attention to get together and find out what kind of schools they want. Many of them say what they are taught. Many of the teachers' friends have come to their aid and want it known that the teachers are not to blame. We investigated further and found an interview with the principal, that no one had to a child on account of color. There is no rule that keeps a teacher at a school that she does not want to teach, for she can ask for a transfer. Through the school, she is now principal, the school is being cleaned for the first time in six years. Several ladies of the neighborhood—namely, Mrs. Julius N. Aventhorm and Mrs. Julius M. Aventhorm, assisted by several others, have come to the school where, to his surprise, one can hardly believe the work that is being done. Over four hundred children are fed lunch during the noon hour at a penny apiece, Miss Dallion assisted by a cocoa and a jelly sandwich, or a row of a jelly sandwich. Once a week they have meat sandwiches which sell for the same price. Miss Dalion informed the writer that a stockyards firm donated meat sandwiches to have both that have just been completed and that immediately put in use. The friends of the teachers and the teachers themselves declare that they have done everything but hate the children. That these teachers together as one family, and if a child does not learn it is because it is dull or has been kept out of school. AGED MAN AT OAK FOREST (Continued from page 1.) forgetten it to this day. He was sold twice; one time he brought $90, the other time $900. His master was very cruel and insensitive. He would leave the plantation to attend a camp meeting or other religious service, and for doing so he was tied up and his bare back was lashed until the skin laid open. Salt and red pepper were rubbed on the lacecured skin to add to his suffering. When the war broke out he was compelled to serve in the southern army, but managed to escape, and together with his wife worked north, landing in Chicago in 1852. He secured employment and, both his wife and son, he had freed the leeons. They leased a lot from the Armour estate and erected a little cabin for this amount of money. Upon arriving in Chicago Mr. Whitehead learned for the first time that Abraham Lincoln was President of the United States and he had freed the slaves. Eighteen years later he union. All the children excepting a son and two daughters are dead. Some time ago the Armour estate wanted the property on which his cabin stood and, as his lease for the land had expired, he sold it to a young man. He is 8 years old and in poor health, so he brought her to Oak Forest for treatment and for the fresh country air. He is no county charge by any means, as he has money to pay his way. Two daughters of his former Chicago employer have offered to take a little cottage on their father's place and they wish to return to the city. Soon as warm weather comes they expect to take up the offer. On Feb. 29 and March 1 the state board gave an examination for lawyers. There were 157 applicants, 87 of whom passed and 69 of whom were residents of the state. Sixteen were university examiners, and four of the six who passed were Howard university graduates. They were: Martin Barkay, L. H. or class 15; Martin Pollard, 15; Charles H. McGee, 15; and others, all speaks well of Howard university the fact that some of these men are recent graduates and took this test for the very first time proves not only the worth of the students but shows very clearly the through training given to its student body. LEAP YEAR PARTY By E. B. Embry. Home of Geo. A. Turnbull Under Quarantine—School Physician Reports Scarlet Fever, After Examining Little Ruth Turnbull—City Physician Disagrees. Says Mrs. Turnhull: With a glowing picture in his mind's eye of the happy family gathered around, and absorbing the comforts of the home fireplace, anxiously awaiting his coming, and he anxious to join their circle, Geo. Turnbull explained that he was homeward bound last Saturday night, thinking of the change which had been wrought since his leave-taking that morning. According to an account given a reporter for The Defender by Mr. Turnbull, he joined the circle when he was suddenly confronted by the bulky form of a giant son of Erin, arrayed in the garb of police distinction, who demanded to know "yer intentions". The Turnbull explained that it was his duty to quarantine him, and the quarantine. Denied admission to his home, Mr. Turnbull was forced to seek sleeping quarters elsewhere. His little daughter Ruth, he told the reporter, had recovered from a case of scarlet fever, but had improved so rapidly that his mother had until further notice. Saturday the house put under quarantine. Appeals for a further diagnosis of his daughter's case brought the city physician Monday morning. Mr. Turnbull communicated with his sister, and she told him, according to his ment, that the city physician had assured her that he could find no traces of scarlet fever or any other form of contagion. That caused by the health department that the house could remain under quarantine for a few days to await developments.

Running a buffet and cafe is an easy job for Henry "Tenan" Jones, but get out our notebook is not so easy. For me, out the notebook is not so easy. The book was right on the job and he never missed an issue, but when the strenuous times came to get up copy and "make a few foot feet. Jones says "once a lizard has battled, once an editor has an editor." THE PANAMA·CLOSES. The Panama buffet and cafe was dark on Monday night. Mrs. Merriam and an admirer of the 23d Ward visited the place and purchased drinks after hours the city salon preferred charges and the city corner corner looks dark but there are other places to go, run by members of the race, in a respectable manner. Now that the single girls have given a leap year party, a number of popular hawks are planning to give a leap year party at an early date. It is rumored that it's to be very celebrate and many pretty gowns are to be worn. n Absent rity Meeting urpassed Any of Previous Years— Great Increase in Applications helps to catch him. Men and women of the race are taxpayers and no civile body seeking to better conditions in our city should hold meetings without race representation. The record of this meeting would not have been known without two women being present, whose names we withhold, had they not been interested and attended. The Defender contends that a number of women should have been present and heard the reports, and seen that this group of people should have been considered in the report. According to reports such as the meeting, the volume of work done by the United Charities during the past year was greater than that of any similar organization in the United States. Thirty-five per cent more calls for all were cared for than in any preceding year. Help was given 22,165 different families, or a total of more than 100,000 men, women and children. Bad employment conditions were given as the principal cause of the great increase in applications. More than half of the families cared for never asked for help before. During the past year the organization spent $392,728. A "poverty exhibit" which has been shown in a number of white churches within the last few weeks was a report of the meeting. It was of a short, picture-like nature, and evidence the work done by the organization. An effort should be made by the women of the race to raise a deeper interest in such an organization, as it aims to run down the fleeing husband and deserters, as well as all those in distress and need of employment, for such assistance is badly needed among us.

BOY SCOUTS ARE GAINING FRIENDS BOY SCOUTS ARE GAINING FRIENDS the citizens of Chicago are becoming quite interested in the Boy Scouts. The scouts of Chicago are the citizens of Chicago Guard and Major S. J. Horde is one of the prime movers. It is obligatory upon scouts that they cultivate courage, loyalty, patriotism, brotherhood, self-control, uselessness and purity, and honor. The aim of the Boy Scouts is to supplement the various educational institutions and to promote a helpful feeling of community, uselessness and distinctly a peace organization, yet cultivating hardiness, readiness and courage. They are under the supervision of the officers of the Boy Scouts and stand for the highest Americanism. The boys are sorely in need, and it is up to the citizens of this city to consider the need for a distant day they will be well honoured and the new Eighth Regiment, L. N. G.

CLERGYMANPOSES AS RACE MAN (Continued from page 1.) Daptist congregation, and Percer Martyn, proclaiming himself Afro-American, has often spoken from the pupil where his father spoke as a co-pupil. Rev. J. Carlos became a closely known preacher and author, and his book, "Wendell Phillips, the Acoliter," is a highly rated book not only on the list, but also in the pastor's church in Connecticut. His wife, who died a few years ago, was the daughter of Don Phillips, the son of the Central American republic of Nicaragua. The Ferrer family was of Spanish extraction. Columbia as White. Percer Martyn inherited his father's ability as a speaker. He went through college and then took his course in theology. His first wife was a daughter of Charles H. Jones, a former newspaper publisher in New York. His second wife, whom he married in Brooklyn, was white. He appeared in St. Louis in 1914 with a young woman unmistakably admired, and admitted they were not married. in 1912 he was pastor of the Baptist church at Elmhurst, L. L. His engagement with the congregation, was announced, and a strange young woman appeared and Martyn disappeared. It was then learned that he was a pastorate in Ridgedwood, N. J. The next head of Martyn was when he began to race man in his car, and told the pastor that his father was pure white, but his mother was "half and half." He will be turned over to the federal authorities. The girl was not arrested nor detained at headquarters. R. S. Abbott, Tells of the Mission' of The Chicago Defender—George H.

Ellis was the only one scheduled to appear. He, however, being indisposed, did not attend.

He told about the various departments, and how the real race lovers were supporting the paper in every section of the United States and that they had assured his hearsers that if they continued to give him their support he would as he done, give him a still better chance to win. He sometimes a defender of the Race. Cary B. Lewis of the Defender staff paid a compliment to the worth of Mrs. Barnett as a friend of the Defender. He was a friend of the league to devour the many papers and magazines that come to its table. George H. Jackson delivered an address to the nation on his aspiration and hope. There is some talk of him running for Republican committee from the Second Ward. The league was pleased to hear Mr. Abbott the Barnett is president to raising money for Joe Campbell.

Open Winter and Summer to Restore Health. McClemens, Mitchell, March 3. — The M.T. Clemens Hotel and Eureka Mineral Bath House has a national reputation as a health and pleasure resort. The town is noted for being the most cosmopolitan little city in the country. It is also named for the excellent character of its public utilities; for the enterprise, hospitality and liberality of its citizens; for its varied and many means of entertainment of its visitors, whose numbers are increasing every year. If you are seeking bath, recreation or rest you need not wait for any particular season. You can get a hot mineral bath from 5 o'clock a.m. to 9 o'clock in the evening daily, all the winter and spring, at the Mt. Clemens Hotel and Eureka Mineral Bath House. Steam heat in every room. For information write George I. Hutchinson, 48 Wells street, Mt. Clemens, Mich. (Continued from page 1.) The better class of citizens are up in arms over the attack, which they have been accusing of having showed their willingness to stand by Jefferson and want him to remain, which he has made up his mind to do. He has had trouble with these crackers who have stayed north. Occasionally he has had to poke one of them in the mouth for hurling remarks concerning his color. Each time he has been asked to store and phones the police what he had done. They know what this man is up against and are lending every possible help. They were well set Wednesday morning, however to roast the family alive. Twenty gallons of gasoline had been poured over the steps. Before they ran off and left the house, the police's visible trace was carried away. The explosion woke the family. All the people on the street are friends of the Jeffersonians in the rear of him that he has to fear. Cuyler avenue is a typical Oak Park thoroughfare. In the southern section it is made up of comfortable cottages of high class with plenty of prosperous enough to be somewhat prudentious. The ownership of a comfortable, comfortable income from a good position is essential, and the perfectly overshadows all the sensibilities of the Georgian "crackers" that infest the streets. The great-find it easy to persuade them into committing the atrocious acts that are more pastimes south of the Mason and State Fire Marshal Bach on Tuesday attracted considerable attention. The firm of white attorneys retained by the N.A. State Fire Marshal Bach on Tuesday viewed of asking for several indictments. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson are high school graduate and have been to college among white people esteem them highly.

FUNERAL OF MISS BARBOUR The sudden death of Miss Gertrude Barbour, one of Chicago's most beautiful young women, highly gifted, brilliant and accomplished, just standing upon the threshold of a life full of promise, comes as a distinct loss to the community and the rice. For even in these days when the world is at its end, the great love of the many of whom we are justly proud, such types are rare. Mrs. Cornelia Nichol, grandmother, who reared Miss Barbour from infancy, is much grieved over the death of this young woman. The hearts of her hosts of friends and grief-stricken activities are bowed in sorrow; they are summonsing to the world to be she's she's of it all. For though it may be the shock of it and over again that Death is the unalterable sequence of Life, still we are joint and infinite and our grasp upon the great spiritual truths is not firm enough as yet to enable us to relinquish our friendship and blood without a struggle. The funeral services were held Saturday morning, Feb. 26, 1984. At the home of her aunt, Mrs. James Parker, 6516 Langley Avenue, Rev. Moses Jackson, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, who has been Intimately acquainted with the family for years, officiated and spoke beautifully and tended the family in that had been shuffled out. The young life that has been ceremony was sadly sweet. Solos were rendered by Mme. Willa Sloan and Mme. Byron. The obituary was read by one of her dearest friends, Miss Jeannette Triplett. The house was crowded with the many friends who had sorrowfully tended their parents, and the last loving tributes of respect, and the best loving flowers which filled every available space mutely testified of the love and appreciation in which she was held by all who knew her.

When The Progs. which is to the Race's performers exactly what the White Rats is to the Ophays, gave their first big entertainment in New York, they called for talent from among its own members, although there were several amateurs on the program. Tom Brown, who had just completed an eighteen months' tour of the world and who was even then considered the most widely known and efficient character actor in the business, was down for an eight-minute turn. He followed an amateur act, which had received a sympathetic hand, and did a protein-change stunt that was a riot. Among the auditors was a young man who was "covering" theatricals for The Age, and who has since moved up a peg or two in his calling as a critic. But at that time he really thought he knew it all. When Tom had finished, it was fully five minutes before it was quiet enough in the hall to announce the next act. When the applause had died down the young critic whispered to the gent-seated next to him: "Who was that feller?" "Who was that feller?" "Brown Wife?" "O nothing. Only, a feller that can do what he did certainly ought to try and win business. I bet he could make good."

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.

IT IS WELL TO LOOK FORWARD, but a lot of people have been run down on railroad rights of way because they didn't understand that safety first requires that one occasionally look backward too.

Those who look both ways, and in the light of the past, the present and the future, interpret each are responsible for all the progress the world has ever made or ever will make in the promotion of human welfare. 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. American surveyors and builders have chartered and marked houses a new way through the most dangerous seas that surround Philippines, and soon will be obliged to take up the job of rebuilding in Mexico. us quote: "So far as our present foresight can reach, the net re-English, French or American land is to breed the rapid races faster than ever, while keeping some of the ablest memoirs our race from breeding at all. 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. Rouscher of the First Presbyterian Church serves for the funeral, and the services wore hold at Bluff City Cemetery. STATE TEACHERS ANNUAL MEETING Danville, Va., March 10.—The twenty-eighth annual session of the State Teachers' Association was held here March 11, and the session was large. The meeting was called to order by E. A. Long, president. Prominent men in church and educational life took part in the program. The feature of the meeting was the annual address of President Long.

CITY FEDERATION HOLDS MEETING Mrs. Jessie Johnson was in the chair last Monday morning when the City Federation of Womens Clubs met at St. Mark's M. E. Church. The meeting was interesting throughout the day and perfectly harmonious. Mrs. James Hale Porter, probation officer, who was responsible for the Iever Jones being at Joliet penitentiary for attacks on little girls of the race, reviewed the case because some ministers were trying to get the governor and state board of pardons to release him. Every mother in the audience applauded Mrs. Porter when she recited the case and told what a crime it would be for such a man to be free in our city. The resolution branded Jones as a "menace to society." "It is for the best interest of society that he remain in residence," she said. Resolutions were to be sent to the board of pardons and to Governor Dunne. Several organizations, it was asserted, are on the ground that he has reformed. Reports of benevolent work done in the last year by the city-six clubs remain unchanged. Given it, was shown that over the amount of last year, was contributed for the support of the Home for Aged and Orphans Home, the Amanda Smith Orphans Home, Phyllis Wheatley Home for Working Girls. Mrs. Ranche Gilmore, who has Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett's place as probation officer, made a splendid report, as did the Elizabeth Lindsay Davis. Three new clubs were reported.

The Ferrian School came up for consideration and a committee was appointed to be the school. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Gimer provided women in the various clubs to visit the Morals Council and be of assistance to the first of fenders.

SUMMER NORMAL SCHOOL Houston, Texas, March 16—Plans were outlined for a first-class summer normal for a recent meeting in Marshall by a minister of the normal to be held in that city during the summer of 1915. W. L. D. Johnson was unanimously chosen as conductor by the Houston high school, and is also principal of Johnson is assistant principal of the Houston high school, and is also principal of Johnson is always identified with unfit movements for his race in this city.

Johnson are assured of the success of the normal school under his able leadership. BANKER HURT IN AUTO MIX-UP Jackson, Miss, March 10—Mr. B. M.

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.
