Elder J. M. Webb The Explainer. read. I beg to say that I do not boast in this paragraph, but as a matter of fact, I am a member of the reader from the Book of Genea through the Bible to the Book of Revision showing that the Black Man was the first African American to be released, the Father of Education, and also the Father of Politics. Moses' Priest in the land of Midon, over one thousand years before, there was a school where the Black Man opened the opportunity for Moses to receive education. Moses said that the black school of nation of human wisdom was born on the island of Crete, and Moses learned the history of the creation. It is true that the time has passed and 21st verse that God removes all a movement of God, and not man, therefore it is clear to me through the book that today on trial before God and man, so much so, that I am not "through" the advertisement in this paper, which is the greatest defense against "Negation," or anything like it.

WILSON FATHER OF SEGREGATION (Continued from page 1.) of St. Louis; no open discontent, no manifest breaches of the peace due to such opposition have occurred. The sole inspiration of the segregationists was to Prof. Ussher, to be traced to a few landlords and certain real estate dealers who saw in this policy a means for more control of the electorate of 170,000 only 20,000 were sufficiently American in spirit to go to the polls and vote against the Democrats. A manner exhibition of race prejudice, of intolerance and of self-interest has surely been shown in this country, and written in the form of evidence that the people of the south are incapable of dealing intelligently, justly, humely and humanely. For St. Louis, where the colored element is comparatively small and altogether infiltrate, can resort to segregation, and blast the hope to come from the further The prospect is not, however, gloomy, gloomy not only for the progress of the Negro, but gloomy for the democracy of America. Negro segregation tends to complicate and not to solve the race problem, but that is not the worst of it. The worst of it is that Americans hold the principles of this republic so lightly, the guarantees of their constitution so vain, that they can cast them to the winds in order to feed fat their color prejudice. St. Louis Ordinance Enjoined. Word has Just reached here that the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri has enjoined the segregation ordinance. It could hardly be conceived that men of legal ability on the bench of that State sworn to do their duty could so interpret the law of equality, Justice and fairness to recognize an inquisitive measure filled with color prejudice and designed to curtail the civil rights of this group of people. It is hoped that the Supreme Court of Missouri will not only enjoin the ordinance but will declare it unconstitutional and the one at Louisville, Ky., now pending before the United States Supreme Court will be declared illegal, thereby putting a stop to all such laws designed to make the race feel the sling of civil inferiority.

DIVERSITAS - INVINCIBLES Tom Brown, of the team of Day & Brown, who are now playing East, has been given the opportunity to have covered, besides the entire North, his coveted continent, all of Europe. His theatrical performance was yet in his early 'teens, and of course his moments was at a museum right here in Chicago. At the time, Tom was so young that he was commuted on all his trips. Uncle Pete had never been on a railroad train before when he healed! Chicago, the city where Tom was, and a thing happened to unite this initi trip, the memory of which Tom chains will haunt him 'til his dying day. Tom was commuted on an ox or mule cart, and the highest speed that he had ever traveled at was when a team of jackeasons can awaken him, and be transported in. As a consequence, the train on which the pair was riding hadn't hardly moved, and, poking his head away out so he could see ahead, he shouted out, "dog-gone!" We sure are traveling some!" The conductor happened into the car at the time and warned Uncle Pete, "go ahead to keep his head inside the gate." "If your head should happen to hit you, you would sue the railroad company," admired the conductor. He didn't turned away after being before Uncle Pete was at it again. Leaving away out and looking ahead he said: "Wow! There ain't no use talking, we were going to get the conductor warned Uncle Pete of the danger and threatened to close the window. If it got half way up in the aisle before out went Uncle Pete's head once more, when—" Jang! " Sure enough! Uncle Pete's head was slammed to the pole all to pieces. The conductor grabbed him by the shoulder and smashed the pole all to pieces. You something like that would happen!" "Well, it serves 'em right," said Umlrich, who ought to set "em so near the tracker" Mrs. Hurley-bed Margaret to believe that Peter had deserted her and disbanded her, and Margaret's return from Europe, Mrs. Hurley answered his eager inquiries about Margaret's whereabouts by showing him pictures of her, and she would lead her to believe that the girl had run off with a notorious crook. Peter put detectives on her trail, but it was all to no use. Mrs. Hurley did everything in her power to throw Breatice and Peter together, the result being the present engagement. Returning from a ball at his house, Margaret took his house two forklifts, trumps, and dines them, much to their pleasurable automaton. As the butter goes to let her son play, Margaret man on the doorstep, who has lost her way in the fog. He brings her in, and so Margaret and Peter meet again after the trumps. Margaret's duplicity, etc. Margaret tells Peter of their son, little Peter, who has been her joy in life. When Margaret goes to the house, Margaret keeps her housekeeping for the little boy. Peter expresses his great desire to see his son. He insists upon Margaret spending the night in the house, no housekeeper takes her. THE GRAND. Anita Busz & Co. are on their second and last week and are presenting a compelling and well-received company vehicle is an excellent one, it is capably handed by the company. Healul White-Brown as Dorothy Nelson, Sam Gardiner as Cheryl McGarry, Chester Jerry Mills as Damon Parsons and Miss Bush in the leading character and does the rest, all do excellent work and carry the fire, the air, the fire manner which is actually starting, no time is there a second wasted and time does interest lag. The story deals with a thoroughly city-like performer with a limited knowledge of city life. She is teaming with another woman, who is thoroughly city-like, and who can see the fire in accounting rent money and other favors from the "Johnies." A strain of comedy is brought throughout, and the finale is brought through situations of intense excitement.

THE DEMOCRATS are putting on a bold front and trying to jolly themselves and others into believing that they are perfectly satisfied with the present colossal failure in the chair. There is but one good that can be said of Woodrow Wilson as a chief executive, and that is that so far he has kept the country out of war. And whether this was a good or bad policy depends entirely upon the viewpoint. That the country has suffered great humiliation through this watchful waiting plan, and this cringing, dependent attitude, is admitted by all who have given the matter any consideration. President Wilson as a school teacher may have been a howling success. In that position he was not surrounded with a pack of hungry, unscrupulous office seekers. His movements were unhampered; the sphere he moved was not large enough to attract this class and so he moved on in the even tenor of his way. The Democrats clamoring for anything in the shape of a real man, selected him as their standard-bearer. Three years under his rule has convinced a majority of the people of every party that a grave mistake was made; that he should never have been taken from the quiet of his home and thrust on an unsuspecting public. There are two kinds of Democrats who will stick to Mr. Wilson—mose holding office and those who are so densely ignorant they cannot read or think for themselves. It is simply a case of a position being too big for the man, and yet he is slated for another term. We are ashamed to acknowledge that a great many "brunette" Americans advocated his election and cast their votes for him. They did so believing that he was a man of his word; that he was big enough and broad enough to be the president of all the people. They were doomed to disappointment. Scarcely had he taken the chair before he began heaping indignities on more than one-tenth of the population. He turned his back on the very men who helped make him. He was a willing sol of the South. Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Tillman and the like held the ship-hand, with the result that the United States is the laughing stock of the world. Will it never be learned that it is impossible to crush the negro without crushing the very life out of him of the count? Fortunately, we see the role of another presidential election. Theorehore Rossovelt will indubitably be the standard-bearer for every other party save the Democratic. The world knows what he stands for and what he will do. He has never been a tool of a clique, he is a man with strong convictions; right as he sees it always prevails. We need and must have such a man if we would restore our prestige with other powers and bring back peace and prosperity. Let us have, as the colonel says, no more "pussy-footing," but put in a man large enough in every way to fill the president's chair. THE SCUTH'S AWAKENING THE BATTLE IS WON when those who are the properly enthused. An anti-pasturing wave, the home of this brutal pastime, that bids for the country to something like a normal state are becoming active, the very fountainhead should spring. All these years have they been raised in the pulpit against the fiends that we have not only blackened their own hearts, every individual in the state and in the country, clothed in the garb of sanctity, standing in their duty as teachers, as beacon for lock in the straight and narrow path. Not that they are creatures of environment, they be right or wrong, the "almighty dollar" beckoned to offer the least resistance is chosen at them by the better thinking people that aroused them to a sense of their duty. What seen, united that one agency alone cannot bring on of the courts is more directly responsible for these. Other one thing. Judge Emory Spry on the significant fact that no lynching with a case under the authority of, or courts, said: "If mobs knew that they were lynchings, for if every member of a just a $50 fine for his participation in a lynch." from the United States court are never judges have unlimited power to fine or without having to wait on juries. If the U. way, why can't the state courts do likewise, to take this sort of sort, holding politic to the mob as to put the fear of the law will but upon the advantage of its court to remove the judges from the arena of politics of the state that the supreme and appellate pay the governor for life and pay them a salary performed, and we will see a better judge enforced and the great evil of mob law and of the law. HALF THE BATTLE IS WON when those who are to take active part have been properly enthused. An antilynching wave is sweeping over to South, the home of this brutal pastime, that bids fire to restore this section of the country to something like a normal state of civilization. The churches are becoming active, the very fountain-head from which right and justice should spring. All these years have they lain dormant; no voice has been raised in the pulpit against the flends who have committed crimes that have not only blackened their own hearts, but have brought disgrace to every individual in the state and in the country. These men, clothed in the garb of sanctity, standing upon the sacred altar, have failed in their duty as teachers, as beacon lights, have failed their lock in the straight and narrow path. Not through ignorance, they have locked in the environment, bend to the will of people, right or wrong; the "alarming dollar" becomes the road that offers the least resistance is chosen. The finger of pointed at them by the better thinking people throughout the world is aroused them to a sense of their duty. What will be done be seen. admitted that one agency alone cannot bring order out of chaos. city of the people is more directly responsible for the continuance of that other one thing. Judge Emory Speer of the federal on the significant fact that no lynching has ever taken on with a case under the authority of, or pending in, the courts, said: "If mobs knew that they would suffer, there are lynchings, for if every member of a mob knew that it just a $50 fine for his participation in a lynching, he would te." from the United States court are never lynched because states judges have unlimited power to fine or imprison for conduct without having to wait on juries. If the United States court this way, why can't the state courts do likewise? Is it because afraid to take this sort of stand, holding political office? If one an so awake the mob as to put the fear of the law into it, so can an it will but stand upon the courage of its convictions and the law. You no longer remove the judges from the arena of politics, so change the situation. You no longer give the judges the power to be pointed by the governor for life and pay them a salary commensurate with the duties performed, and we will see a better judiciary, laws more stringently enforced, and the great evil of mob law and lynchings will become a thing of the past. THE RESURRECTION THI RISEN as He foretold. In these few and the greatest of all Christian doctrines. We say Resurrection is the cornerstone of the religion. It. Hence, the words of St. Paul: "If Christ is preaching vain and your faith also is vain." christ in rising from the dead of His own will that mission that He was God. He is truly God. He lerries are adorable and His moral teachings and action Christ routed the forces of nature and that led to everlasting death. How beautifulversation between Jesus and Martha.

So, too, we heed the admonition of and follow Him we will triumph over death and On Easter Sunday the church sings exulting to God." She exclaims, "This is the day whi rejoice and be glad therein." HE HATH RISEN he As foretold. In these few and simple words is contained the greatest of all Christian doctrines. We say the greatest because the Resurrection is the cornerstone of the religion established by Jesus Christ. Hence, the words of St. Paul: "If Christ be not risen again then is our preaching vain and your faith also is vain." Jesus Christ in rising from the dead of His will own power confirmed beyond question that He was God. He is truly God. His religion is divine. Mysteries are adorable and His moral teachings are most holy. By His resurrection Christ routed the forces of nature and healed the ravages of sin that led to everlasting death. How beautiful and consoling is not, the conversation between Jesus and Martina. Martha had declared that though Laurus, her brother, was dead, still she was sure He would rise again upon the last day, whereupon Jesus addresses her: "I am the resurrection and the life: He that believeth in Me, although he be dead, shall not die forever." The Resurrection meant that Jesus Christ became a triumphant Conqueror. He became victor over the powers of darkness and the envious, malicious world. So, soo, if we heed the admonition of Christ to take up our cross and follow Him we will triumph over death and reign gloriously with Him. On Easter Sunday the church sings exultingly. Alleluia, l. e. Praise be to God." She exclaims, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad thereof."

ABBOTT Easter Prayer: Kind Father, give us hope and strength as we look back over the last thirty years and bless the four thousand known souls that have been lynched and murdered without cause and the people have met their death that we know nothing about. Help us in this struggle, and may Your Hand stop this persecution that is being waged against our race in this country of supposed civilized people. Easter Prayer: Kind Father, give us hope and strength as we look back over the last thirty years and bless the four thousand known souls that have been lynched and murdered without cause and the people have met their death that we know nothing about. Help us in this struggle, and may Your Hand stop this persecution that is being waged against our race in this country of supposed civilized people. that the time has long passed when such things will be tolerated. There is nothing so purifying as sunlight; flood a room with light and the dirt is bound to show up. It is our purpose as long as printer's ink can be purchased to defend even the humblest of the race, to point out the stumbling blocks along the path of progress, and to install the gerns of manhood and womanhood into every person with a dark skin in the land. And again we find a Peter King of Fullerton, In., writing this to the New Orleans item: "I am sure I voice the sentiment of the great majority of intelligent Negroes of Louisiana when I say that we desire to have nothing to do with politics. We are perfectly willing to trust our political welfare to the intelligence of the good white men of this state and country." In other words, this jellyfish is willing to give up his birthright in order to be called a "good _____" Without the ballot we are lost forever. That is the one thing we must continually fight for. If we sit idly by and let others make our laws we are deserving of no better treatment than we receive. There are hundreds of places where the colored outnumber the whites five to one, and yet because of their ignorance they do not assert their right to vote. And still we are asked to pass these things by for fear of offending Southern crackers. Would it were in our province to so stir the members of our race to the knowledge of the injustices heaped unnecessarily upon them that they would rise in their might and claim their own for all time to come.

Complaint is made by the young marriageable ladies that there is a scarcity of good, eligible men on the market to plek from. True, there is an overabundance of men, but they apparently are not of the right sort, and so they sigh for the kind of sweethearts their mother describes were plentiful in her day. Times have changed, and the girl of today must realize that she is far different in many respects than her mother was at her age. The clinging, dependent girl is but a memory. The girl who spent her evenings home, sewing, making fancy work, practicing music or alding in some church work, lives in the dim and distant past. In days gone by girls were sought for their womanly qualities, for their ability to make a home what it should be; men for their manly qualities and their ability to provide for a home, the whole transaction being sealed by pure love and devotion. Today we have the marriage for convenience, for social position, for money, and everything also save love. In other words, in a great many cases matrimony when simmered down is discovered to be nothing more or less than a plain business proposition, both contracting parties looking for the long end of it. That our courts are filled with divorce cases is but a case of success. From the lips of most any girl will fall, "I wouldn't think of marrying you, I could better my position." Perhaps it has taken her father the better, to reach the position she expects her sweetheart to place her in immediately. Yes, but that is the girl end of it. The young man, ambitious though he is, knowing this, hesitates—offen indefinitely—before asking the leap. It is a condition that confronts the young people of today, not a theory. There must be a readjustment of things social; the dollar, while indispensable, must not hold full sway. Love is the keynote to true happiness. Better it would be to return to those sweet yesterdays, when the marriage knot was tied, as the poet said, in heaven. THAT RELIEF FUND. OF CURIOSITY it would be interesting to who have the handling of the Augusta, Gay white family should have $150 and a colored equally. Has the latter the faculty of making rather than the former? Is he ten times hard and simple case of heartlessness aggravation appealed for help the funds came in will tourists contributed liberally, the color and personal service, and in this their head against. It might be argued that they are not beggars, simply poor unfortunate by the hand of providence. It hap uses enough for anything un-American, unhuman beings are wont to forget their purpose some one in distress and hasten to their students of the men who wore the uniform, it is always on tap, and, if asked why, n't. Over $100,000 so far has been raised a might be well for the donors to signify with treated allike, and perhaps this august comes of fifteen to one against the colored man. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY it would be interesting to know just how the committee who have the handling of the Augusta, Ga., fire relief fund figure that a white family should have $150 and a colored family but $10, both suffering equally. Has the latter the faculty of making a dollar bill go ten times farther than the former? Is he ten times harder to starve? Or is it a pure and simple case of heartlessness aggravated by prejudice? When this city appealed for help the funds came in willingly from every source. Northern tourists contributed liberally, the colored people rendered financial and personal service, and in this their hour of need they are discriminated against. It might be argued that beggars should not be choosers, but they are not beggars, simply poor unfortunate who have had their all swept away by the hand of providence. It happened in Georgia and that is excuse enough for anything un-American, unclevized and unprincipled. Ordinarily, human beings are wont to forget their personal feelings when they see some one in distress and hasten to their rescue. Not so with the descendants of the men who wore the uniform of gray. Their hatred is inborn, it is always on tap, and, if asked why, no logical excuse could be offered. Over $100,000 so far has been raised and more is still coming in. It might be well for the donors to signify with their gifts that all sufferers be treated alike, and perhaps this august committee would not put a handicap e fifteen to one against the colored man. ABOLISH SEGRO-FIRE DEPARTMENT. LD WORRY about the New York regiment were in Chicago we have a fire department en sleep every night with our boys and get there before they went to bed. The people with the fire department an sleep in a room with twenty race men one throughout Chicago. The fire depart same as the police department. This t WE SHOULD WORRY about the New York regiment and its white officers, while here in Chicago we have a fire department with white, and these (white) men sleep every night with our boys and get up each morning just as white as they were before they went to bed. THE DEFENDER feels (all people with a grain of common sense should) that if three white firemen can sleep in a room with twenty race men, then the same thing can be done throughout Chicago. The fire department should be opened just the same as the police department. This insures work for our men in all engine houses over the city, and instead of our citizens waiting as long as ten years to be a fire fighter he can make the job as quickly as the foreigner is making it now, while our men are yet on the waiting list. Men! Fellow countrymen! Are you going to continue to be like the ASS, or are you going to be men?

IF PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON is so anxious to teach the world good morals, let him begin by placing the United States army in the South; institute a chase of the lynchers as earnestly as the one he is now carrying on in Mexico. Really, Jesse James would turn over in his grave if he but know how things on earth and in his home country had changed. Jesse certainly has put one over on Villa in many ways, but the then President of the United States had faith in the sheriffs and detectives of his country, taking them into the field, got his man, and saved the national government oollish expenditure of millions and unhappened the of his country.

THE AMATEUR MINSTREL CLUB, determined to have the best the market affords, finally secured—at an enormous cost—permission from the owner of this paper to borrow for one evening only, Easter Monday night, Cary B. Lewis, the greatest weekly war correspondent in captivity. He will readily be distinguished from the other gentlemen in mourning seated on the end by his unique costume, which he recently imported from the Ja Ja Islands. At the conclusion of his song, "Love Me Anywhere," the audience is requested to show their appreciation by tossing coin of the realm at the feet of the artist. No flowers, as he is far from being a dead one. THE MAYOR OF DEL RIO, TEX., requested Gen. Funston to remove two companies of the Twenty-fourth infantry from his little town because a Texas ranger killed one of the soldiers in a Saturday night brawl and he feared there would be rotting. The General, like an obedient child, sent the brave lads who were fighting for the Stars and Strips into Mexico for service along the killer doubles the rest of the company would have not only put him out of commission, anyone else who happened to cross their path, and would they have been sent away as naughty boys? Not in a hundred years; they would have been lauded as heroes. There is such a difference. COL. ROOSEVELT may or may not be chosen as the Republican and Progressive standard bearer in the coming presidential campaign, but even his enemies admit he is the biggest man in the country, and when he speaks the whole world listens. Of what other man can as much be said? COL. MORIARTY of the Fighting Seven boasts of fifteen nationalities in his regiment. If we take rumor along this line, the Colonel could add another nationality to his string. Somehow our boys that are passing will always claim the other race before he claims his own. INDICATIONS ARE that the little unpleasantness existing between the Old World powers will continue during the summer months, thereby making it rather uncomfortable for American tourists who wish to visit the ruins. There is always something to take the joy out of life. THE BASEBALL season is here, and judging by the throng at the Sox's opening, none of the old time enthusiasm has left the fans.

Sleepless had been the night, Kissing the life. The future loomed heavy with dread, Dead was the Lord of Life! Dripping the gray mist hung Above the Kedran's trees, And vigni stars of the far east Sank pale in western seas! But now, Moriah's rim Lined faint above the gloom And women watchful for some sign, Wendy early to the tomb. Through spring-chill of the dawn, rembling, alert from fear. The bomb with crowding bands Might yet be lingering near. Through olives gray they pear Where to their tear-dimmed sight A halo form, like to the Lord's, Irradiates the night! Responsive chords of love Thrill to a memory wave— The sun, gilding Judea's hills Reveals an empty cave! And light that never shone On land or shimmering sea Lit that new tomb!

Golter is divided into two classes: one, the simple golter, is an enlargement of the thyroid gland; the other, which is the more serious form, is the exophthalmic golter, and it is characterized by enlargement of the thyroid gland, and prepruding or bulging of the eyeballs, with more or less heart and nervous disturbance. Golter is often known by various names, such as Graves' Disease, Basedow's Disease, etc. The real cause of golter is not understood. As to sex, it is more common among females than males—more common in an unsteady nervous system. As to age, it is more common in childhood and young adult life, during the adolescence period. Among the exciting factors that should be avoided during the period of adolescence are fright, shock, worry, overwork, underfeeding, blood impoverishment or anemia, and hard study, anxiety in preparing for examinations. We often find the early development of golter among young high school girls who study hard, who worry, and are excited over the coming final examinations, in those disappointed in their love affairs. Reverses in fortunes are also exciting factors. Golter may be developed suddenly through excitement, fright, or a great shock. But, as a general proposition, this disease is developed gradually. First, there is rapid heart action—pulse may run up to 100 or 150; palpitation of the heart, extreme nervousness and irritability, restlessness, easily fatigued, some times a dry, unproductive cough, due to pressure of enlarged thyroid gland or gout—the gradual bulging of the eyeballs, inability to sleep, headaches, and a change in the temperament from a calm, placid state to an irritable, disagreeable bad temper. The individual becomes emotional, and there is increased sensitiveness, characterized by fits of gleefulness and despondency, capricious appetite, sometimes troubled with indigestion, distension of the stomach and abdomen, with gas alternating with diarrhea and constipation. There is usually a loss of flesh and weight—the plumpness and rotundity of the body is lost and there is pallor and haggard features. DOWN TENNESSEE and a general good time, which will never assist you in getting rid of your goiter, but on the contrary, will increase it. Rest, good, nourishing food, tonics, and good medical supervision are important factors in bringing about your cure. The treatment is divided into medical and surgical. Many cases, if taken early, have been cured, and will be cured, through the skillful application of medicinal remedies with the addition of intelligent hygiene. Avoid tomofloery. Learly every colored person you meet will recommend and insist that you use consensual, and often harmful remedies. Among some of the harmful oreless remedies recommended by some of the Negro people are, first, the wearing of a tight band around your neck of leather or velvet, or the purpose (as they claim) of reducing your goiter, which often proves haemol and painful, as it causes pressure of the blood vessels and nerves in the goiter, increases the cough, causes headache and difficulty in breathing. AMBER BEADS. One of the most ignorant recommendations is the wearing of amber beads around the neck, tightening the string each week, from time to time, with the avowed assurance that if you are not choked to death the wearing of these amber beads will absolutely cure your goiter. Another remedy recommended by colored people is the free application of skunk or poletac oil to your goiter, with the assurance it will cure it. And another Negro remedy is the constant wearing of a buckeye over your goiter as a sure cure. Another remedy recom- ment is the application of iodine, culture saline and Staart's Inlment. And one of the remedies that the colored people recom- ment is and absolute cure for your goiter is the laying on your goiter the cold hand of a dead man. You are advised to visit the morgue, receive all clothing on your golf club, take the cold hand of the dead, and rub it over your goiter, and wear a short time as the body of the dead decays in his grave, just with your goiter gradually dwindle away. We would advise you to pay no attention, give no heed to such ignorant advice, but go and summit you self early to your family physician for careful diagnosis and intelligent treatment. We are certain that none of the above mentioned foolish remedies will ever cure your golter, and to follow up such foxy advice is to delay your chances of ever being cured, and if you follow such recommendations of ignorant coerced people, you will be more sure to go through an uncomfortable and miserable existence. ness meeting, Monday, April 11.
