We will call those slew footed would-be preachers who are studying more about their "dollar" money and are preaching to the articles. If YOU CAN FREEZE TO DEATH in the north and be free, why FREEZE to death in the south and be a slave, where, your mother, sister and daughter are raped and burned at snakes, your father, brother and sisters are treated with bullets hung to a pole, riddled with bullets at the least mention that he does not like the way he has been treated.

A careful canvass of the addermanic situation by a representative of the Chicago Defender without doubt assures the nomination of Louis B.

As pointed out in his dignified and constructive platform, he presents himself to the voters of the Second ward as leader to the policies and principles vital to the interest of the M. principles vital to the interest of the Negro Race. The lines as between the candidacy of Mr. Anderson and those in opposition have been sharply drawn. Mayor William Thompson and his broad policy of equal and fair Negro is significantly typified in the candidacy of Louis B. Anderson. On the other hand, the opposition candidates are lined up with the white forces, whose sentiments of disapproval of Mayor Thompson's recognition of the black newspaper, even to the point of temptuously referring to the city hall as "Uncle Tom's Cabin." In speaking of this phase of the issue, Mr. George W. Ellis; a prominent Race man, made this significant comment on the respective candidates, and he wrote, "This is a crisis in the history of the Negro race in Chicago," said he: "The outcome will determine for all times in the minds of those few right thinking and liberty loving white people who, unafraid, champion our cause, whether of the blacks or the whites, if they are making in their valiant defense of our rights and privileges.

I have carefully studied this present aldermanic situation, and I make no empty argument when I say that should Louis B.

THE GRAND THE PHOENIX . . . THE LINGOLN THE WASHINGTON THE OWL PETER BROWN chatter with which Hanella accompanied his tricks put them right over. Dancing Dave has a unique offering and is very much which has shown the justifies his name. With the aid of a plant in the middle of the house he was enabled to put in his best licks, which he has got to be the best man. Now, the novelty of singing act, using a diminutive stage, the whole thing resembling a Marlonette turn. The participants being the two of the new band members were with a pleasant lip and a hard working straight of small statute, but a heap of the gigs of singing, talking and dancing turn which also seems to be the bows and a great noisome encore. The big doings of the night, howsomever, were and she had a very fine black Data. They have a swell musical comedy offering which travels under the name of "Celebration Day in Tennessee," and the day was to be set up with an ease and grace to speed, but for the training of the bunch. Two drops of fine appearance are used and make a thing of the time thing to ponder over. Joe and his "S" have been many many consecutive weeks for the more prominent booking offices since being here. He is the reputation which that act has but is the only one to be given to the new harm to mention their routine for the benefit of the folks who are unfortunate enough to be able to see the work of the new man and chorus by Joe Shefflet and the company was sung with the act's Daisy Field. Drop every head being a daisy-up, the two two-time and the two two-time. In the new song followed in fast succession, interspersed with some ven� cleanal commanding. Celebration is a good mixed and a male quartet of high chides; Tennessee's Moon, Vola Braxton and Coming Whip, is a good show. Lavin's Dewey Jones and chorus, and a rousing finale. The chorus and costuming are so far superior to anything else, and the performance of the show is very beyond comparison and all the work goes over with a bang, everybody getting a chance to show that Joe is not carrying the same character. The new music is more like the centric dancing of Irene White, the speedy buck-and-wing dancing of Emma Smith and Mildred Brown and the exactness of the music the characterization of the well known performance. Fred Davis. They remain all week. The last half last week held over the Frisco Four, who did well, and the others on the bill were George and Antonio, a former teammate of Bempsy, a clever team in a neat two-sketch which required cleverness; Davis and Roone, a fan "Nutt" team, and the Palm Beach Beauties, comprised of a good Dutch comedian and a classy looking stuntman, and a heavyweight extra. It was a fairly good bill. Next week, Smart Set. Our bill this week includes four of the best acts on the time and there is not a dull minute during the entire show: indeed, it can safely be said that this line-up is a standout. The High Brown Trip is composed of three of the most talented young ladies ever seen here and the round of songs are fine, among them several of more than ordinary class. Their work was highly appreciated by the large Monday night attendance; costuming good. There are two teams, Watts & Ringgold and The Pewees. It has been a long time since either have trod the boards here. The former introduces some clever character work by Muriel Ringgold and some interesting clean comedy by her partner. The Pewees have been having remarkable success all over the south and east and the fine relation made by them was certainly justified. Character comedy work by the male member of the act was featured and his pretty partner displayed cleverness. Charles Anderson has been seen here various times in the past, and he has lost none of his popularity; the fact is, the work done by this clever performer is so far above the average the patrons of this theater would feel as though they had missed a real treat if he were to come and go without their seeing him. It is a real bill. Next week Whitman Sisters and Johnny Woods. LULU COATES' FATHER DIES Charles H. Thorning, aged 60, formerly member of the Chicago fire department, was buried on Monday. He was a member of the Bethel A. M. E. church and had a daughter, Lulu Coates, the well-known performer, who cancled a week's engagement at Syracuse, N. L., but who tap her route at Pittsburg on Monday. BERT WILLIAMS STILL STARRING St. Louis, Mo.

THE MONOGRAM Are Passions Inherited? Are Passions Inherited? Through Celebrated Players comes an unusually interesting film story to the theater house on the present week. In addition it bears a title of unusual strength, "Are Passions Inherited?" The photographic work is not used by the playwright for the first run of the images the imagination and the scenes are well chosen. What more could the fans ask for? Here Barley carries the brunt of the work before the camera. To her is assigned what might be called a new sort and style of a dual role. She is a mother and a daughter, her mother had, and the weaknesses of her father. In the early part of the picture the father is put behind the bars, but she is still a strong and vicious small daughter grows into girlhood. She is just an ordinary girl who works in a restaurant. But she is so good at her craft that she vortexes. Then the father returns. He falls again under the influence of alcohol. Daughter begins to show traals at her work in a dance hall. She becomes more reckless than ever. But a big, wholesome western type of catwoman marries her and takes her to his ranch. Right here there are some splendid cattle ranch scenes. Six months later the girl flees. She regrets and writes a letter to the groom, goes to the dance hall and reveres to her father's type. She even becomes the mistress of another man. There is an extraordinary scene when she attempts to support her father. Just how the author extricated his duel natured young lady from her complicated situation will not be disclosed here. You will have to see her on a special permit from the sensor board, so there will be a strict rule that no one under the age of 21 will be admitted. And, remember, you cannot hard to miss this remarkable sensation. A BIG HIT By T. Meadows Ever since the wave of valuedeillism swept the country critics and writers formerly comedians, especially comedians, possessed little originality and progressiveness. So serious was the fault that many promiscuous writers have been compelled to close or transfer to pictures exclusively. One young comedian has, however, appeared gregessiveness, which we all have advised and which the theatergoing public demanded. The actor in question is 11. He is Hank Williams, won for him the distinction of being one of the best in the front rank of comedians. Drake, unlike most performers, does not rely upon absurd make-ups, grotesque actions and burlesque impersonations. He is a real comedian, up to date in action and expression, always original in humor, clear and of pen. Coming out of country less than a year ago, he has won the admiration of the theatergoers and today has the entire audience and today every minute he is before the foodie. This fact was distinctly shown during the remarkable two weeks engagement of the Bay Girls, which closed Sunday night, Feb. 16, at the Booker Theater the evening performance was recorded and hundreds of faces were seen repeatedly mainly to Drake's delightfully original and up-to-date comedy and clearly indulgent what perseverance and efficiency can achieve. May this example serve as an inspiration to others who are indolent and are unable to perform for the public with "the same kind of effort." CALDWELL BENEFIT The midnight benefit for Bill Cildwell, known as the oldest of the Race's stars, was held at the States theater last Friday, with a great success.

Stone & Paul donated the theater and the advertising sliders were furnished by Tony Langton, Mime. The stage manager was Chester Cunningham, and the ensembler was manager in charge under the personal supervision of Spencer Russell, who worked hard for the success of it, and who earned over a neat amount to the beneficiary.

Aside from the fact that the Whittam Four, including play; Essie, Alberta and Baby Alice, are recognized artists, they have also been together with a company which numbers four people who have gone into the gate and includes the celebrated ventrilo-quist and his hard-headed assistant, Johnny Woods and Little Henry. This is a headline act in itself, as there is no better entertainer before the public than Johnny. Real singing, clean-comedy, clever dancing and snappy dialogue, are embodied in the lineup and the patrons of this new-day entertainment, with an entire change in the way the second week. Whittam Sisters are going to be a new brand new show and from advance reports the company is literally "dressed to death."

Homer Tutt, makes the occasion still more interesting.

Running through a jersey of two weeds this company will present their brand new musical comedy, 'How Newtown Came Back,' with great big scenes, every bit of the settings being specially made for the offering.

DAVE SOLOMON When the new $100,000 Owl theater opened its doors to the public the patrons were the beautiful place of amusement were sure to enjoy, and the audiences which met the eye on every side and which not only testified that a vast audience was present for the purpose, but that a discerning tastard had directed the work of the artisans. It takes years of experience to qualify as a master of the Owl's magnitude, and this is just what the haunting little manager, Dave Solomon, has had. He has been the Owl's job since 1985, and the finished appearance on all sides shows that he has learned what it takes to be a master of the Owl, though still, a young man, has been in the business, vaudeville and pictures, for a period of over fifteen years, and the management will be entertained by selected photo plays and specialty acts. He also stood his personal scrutiny. The Owl is living very popular, and so is the manager. MUSICIANS GIVEN TRIAL Athens City, N.

AMERICA NINTH INNING RAI THE TWENTY- By Linwood McQueen Scholten Barracks, Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, Feb. 4—In one of the hottest ninth innings rulers ever seen the Twenty-fifth infantry baseball nine defeated the Thirty-second Regiment (white), 3 to 2. Although they had won the championship by taking two games straight from the start so many times, they saw the two number action that it was decided to play the third game anyway, especially after the men of the Twenty-second were so insistent about playing the final game, they were one of the games and until the ninth it certainly looked as though they had slipped one over, but the "Old RELibbins" were not to be undaunted and gave the team the best BREITS and TWO RUNS. That was all and that was surely enough. Jasper was on the mound for the Twenty-fifth and having not been the first for some time, he decided up by one for just eight胜利s. Mashaw, for the white lads, held the champions down to five hits, three of these hobbling up in the ninth inning, and was not an extra base hit was made on either side. The whole series proved to be a "wang," for only one extra base hit was made in the entire series, that coming in the sixth inning of the last game, when Jackson of the Thirty-second nicked Rogan after a foul. He recorded a record out here at the post because the Twenty-fifth are known to be sluggers and the Thirty-second have some mighty heavy hitters. Shortsteps' Work Features Game The work of both shortsteps featured the game. Chief, of the white lads, show six chances without a bobble and two chances with a bobble.

ING SHE D LINCOL nal Drama ANSWERS Dear Mr. Tony: I have read the advice that you have been giving many of the young men and young women who had a name to you the past, and think it is an even thing to be an store and poets to have such a fine, smart and intelligent man to keep us from getting in bad. Over a year and a half ago I started to come, north and just as luck would have it I sent you a letter to a name to my poetry that I called "The Death of the Kliwy's Bean Bloom and you told me to stay down here for a time and then write again. I can see now that I would have been foolish to have come north then and I am not sure whether I had better take a chance now or not. I am young miss of 19 sum-year, little darker than brown a little shorter than tall, a little thinner than fat and a quick thinker. Tell me if you think I am ready. Here is a song that I have just finished, which I will call "The Wilson Blues"; THE WILSON BLUES Oh, Mother dear, I really fear, haven't long to stay. My cough is getting worse and worse, I'm thinner every day. My eyes are sunk back in my head, My ribs are coming through; My shoulder blades look just like wings, My lips are turning blue. Good-by, old friends, good-by old world A fond adieu I'm giving, I'm a victim of Democracy, And the higher cost of living. It's been a year since I have had a pork chop or an egg; A bone steak, a fried pig-foot, Saturn I will eat. Potatoes up and down the line Sell for ten cents an eye, I really can't afford to live— It's cheaper—much—to die. Chorus:— Again, adieu, I'm shouting, friends, With death, cannot grapple, I'm hungry, not more than My own dear Adam's apple.

Only Sew Page Weekly in the W N AGENT W TWO BRAZILIAN NUTS Along came a letter from the sleepy metropolis of the good old commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the city of Philadelphia, and the home of Scrapple and Pepper Pot; an 13th and Lombard streets famous, and the hamlet where a Race man may eat in a restaurant of class without fear of the police on the Nixon Avenue or a pink pill in his coffee. And this harangue inspired by this reader: Philadelphia, Feb. 20. Friend Tony: Just a few lines to let you know on the New York City cut, out of this city. All mail will reach us at 303 Parkway Bldg., Philadelphia. Regards to all the bunch—Thomas & Marcia. The circuit mentioned by the Nuts has about nine weeks in it and is around Philadelphia, and is eagerly sought by performers as it pays good wages. The circuit meets at times an act meets itself coming back when it is on its way to a rehearsal. And then here comes another letter all in time, a Massachusetts, in the east, full of interest and manly principal, reading thus: Friend Tony: Just a few lines and hoping they will reach you and find you feeling fine as they leave us. We are doing great and the act is a big hit everywhere. We played Lynn last week. The White Rats are striking there and they have pickets in front of the theater. They stopped us and wanted to know if we would walk out. We told them that if we were Rats we would gladly walk out. We were told that we could be Rats. We then asked them to give us time to think it over, as the Rats took several years to take us in, and then just for a point. They said we were looking for an argument. "So good by." Two acts walked out and two walked right in. There are many acts waiting to walk in and some of them are Rats at that. Well, give our best to the boys and to Mr. Cantor and Mr. Johnson, and say for us, that we will be in the west soon. Yours truly—Chapelle & Tribble. All of which goes to show that this team ain't doin' nothin' for nobody that ain't doin' nothin' for them. BREAKS NEW GROUND New Orleans, La.

Feb. 23.—The Chicago American Giants and the New York Lincoln Giants fought out a 2 and 2 tie and failed to break the deadlock.

In the catalog of Lincoln's greatest athletes there may be some who have equaled him in some branches of sport, but none who have excelled him. His versatility demonstrates itself on every turn. He is a "keystone-sacker" on the baleam and has won fame through school with his mighty wallops that have brought victory to Lincoln in many smuggles, and he has a record as a "young pitcher," in the great Orange and Blue football machine of 1914, which crushed Howard and marred Hampton of other chances for an undisputed championship, "Lys," as he is familiarly called, was an indespensible cog. All aspiring ends who had the vision of an All-Star team in their bonnet and who came fufiously sprinting "round Young" and was taken into account. Mr. Henderson of Washington put him on his All-American team while he composed of members of the race. Lys is valuable as a track THE NEW YORK TIMES ULYSSES S. YOUNG he is expected to shine in the Pennsylvania relay games in the spring. Notwithstanding all this it remained for basket ball to bring out the true greatness of this fellow. As a reward for his playing he has been elected captain of the quintet for the second successive time. On top of all this he is a student of rare ability and has the respect of the entire community and school. Young is gentle, steady, heaved up and without pretense. Being a member of the class of 1917 his services will end in June. Though he is to branch out in broader fields he will never be forgotten here and his name will be used to spur on the younger fellows in the succeeding generations. Several of the larger southern colleges have put in bids for the services of Young for the coming year as professor and director of athletics. The Defender wishes to call the attention of the youth of our Race to this boy's achievement and urge all to try to follow in the footsteps of such fellows, that we will have more Pollards.

JOINING THE NAVY ING INTO JAIL is an opportunity very few have ever had to jail as a result of what they are doing, but now that in our navy department the Colored man is no majority of a porter or some equally as menial position, our young men offering themselves for the service. We made application forgot that the south is in the law is on the statute books prohibiting the man. Colored applicants, the UNWRITTEN law is just asked why we are so anxious to enlist in the land, fold our hands and let the other fellow do the barbaric treatment accorded us by the lords of them entirely feasible and proper. But we are not he kicked around and shifted from pillar to pillar every other branch of this government is our juju man's, and for a matter of that MORE. What flag are we not always on the firing line? Have your loyalty to a country that is disloyal to us? Just as much taxes to support the government, have we not as much right to learn how to protect sea as anyone else? What has the navy department to shut the door of this is a white man's craft through your money, timeless of peace we demand the same recognition of war. "The black troops fought naught" sigh in the smoke of battle is cleared away and victory among black men's lives, the heading "A Black Bounty our national pride—but only for a moment, we such a statement emanates.

So we owe the blue presence of the south in the Lincoln helped to emancipate a people from a slave people must strike a blow equally as forceful in the bondage of prejudice. Let us not forget the Pillowsburg of Massachusetts, "WHEN YOU ARE RIGHTS YOU WILL GET THEM, BE CARED FOR THEM YOU WILL TAKE THEM GET THEM UNTIL YOU DO TAKE THEM." BREAKING INTO JAIL is an opportunity very few follow. They might get into jail as a result of what they are doing, but never on purpose. If it is true that in our navy department the Colored man is not wanted except in the capacity of a porter or some equally as menial position, it is hard to conceive of our young men offering themselves for the service. Undoubtedly those who have made application forgot that the south is in the saddle and though no written law is on the statute books prohibiting the navy department from accepting Colored applicants, the UNWRITTEN law is just as effective. It may be asked why we are so anxious to enlist in the land or sea forces, why we do not fold our hands and let the other fellow do the fighting for us? Knowing the barbary treatment accorded us by the lords of creation, this course would seem entirely feasible and proper. But we are not curs. We do not propose to be kicked around and shifted from pillar to post. The navy, the army and every other branch of this government is ours just as much as it is the white man's, and for a matter of that MORE. When it comes to protecting the flag are we not always on the firing line? Have we not proven with our lives our loyalty to a country that is disloyal to us? Are we not required to pay just as much taxes to support the government as our white neighbors? Have we not as much right to learn how to protect our interests on land and on sea as anyone else? What right has the navy department to shut the door of opportunity in our face and say this is a white man's craft though your money went into the building? In times of peace we demand the same recognition as that thrust upon us in times of war. "The black troops fought nobly" sounds well on paper, but when the smoke of battle is cleared away and victory proclaimed at the sacrifice of many black men's lives, the heading "A Black Brute Lynched" suffers for a moment our national pride—but only for a moment, when we recall the source from which such a statement emanates. We love the flag because it is stained with the blood of Crispus Attuck, and of Peter Salem, the blood of the Negroes of Valley Forge, of the two thousand that fought under Gen. Jacksink in New Orleans, of the men massacred at Fort Pillow, of the brave lads lost at San Juan Hill and more recently at Carrizal, Mexico, and not because our flag happens to be entrusted to a group of southern Democrats whose forefathers did all in their power to trail it in the dust. To the grand old veterans who wore the blue the presence of the south in the saddle must be a bitter pill. Lincoln helped to emancipate a people from a bondage of the body, these same people must strike a blow equally as forceful to emancipate themselves from the bondage of prejudice. Let us not forget the admonition of ex-Governor Pillshurst of Massachusetts. "WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR YOUR RIGHTS YOU WILL GET THEM, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR THEM YOU WILL TAKE THEM, AND YOU WON'T GET THEM UNTIL YOU DO TAKE THEM." A FEW FIGURES IN A GENERAL WAY the public has an idea of the number of people who have migrated from the southin, but it has been practically impossible to keep all reliable figures from the most reliable source we find since that 1914 and from the most reliable number in the North America, 35,280; Florida, 10,860; Mississippi, 34,210; Louisiana, 15,290; Arkansas, 33,600; Virginia, 45,650; Kentucky, 21,850; Texas, 10,670. These people have scattered all over the north, Pennsylvania getting the greatest number, with Illinois a close neighbor. In Indiana these figures are far below the actual number who left the land of Indiana and moved to the south, they will give a faint idea of how the dark checkers on the board of America are toward the king row. As far as Chicago is concerned the increased population since 1910 don't tabulate more than a half of one per cent. Compare this with the population of the United States, 24,300 cent for Washington and 40 per cent for Memphis. And Chicago with its insignificance and 40 per cent have little fear of the "problem" worrying them much. GENERAL WAY the public has an idea of the number of people from the southland, but it has been practically impractical from the most reliable source we find, the 1807 Louisiana 1807, Louisiana 15,290 Arkansas 25,200 Kentucky 21,850 Texas 10,670.

A GREAT MANY PEOPLE are finding a difficult proposition to keep out of the porchouse with the prices of feedstuffs and every other necessity of life more than double what it was a few years ago and little or no increase in the price. Since the several man-made advances have been investigating the high cost of living the prices, if anything have advanced. A way of hope is seen in the advent of warm weather—we can at least dispense with the coal man, and every little bit helps. WHAT ROOSEVELT WOULD DO if it is Wilson's place has been settled many, many times by the "wise ones" who frequent barber shops merely to whale away an idle hour or two. When it comes to knowing what's what, hats off to them. FRANCE IS SAID TO HAVE LOST 115,000 soldiers from her colonial commands, but they had the satisfaction of knowing they were wrong and giving up their lives for a country that appreciated them and gave them the rights and privileges accorded any French citizen, which is all that could be asked.

BURKE Being of a breed and feather who'd sooner fight than eat in a GOOD fight at NOTHING in NOTHING, swallowing NOTHING at NOTHING; asking SISTENITY and the truth; asking only—a fair and even shake, "the devil take the hindmost," I won't bite my tongue, observations and reflections clamoring for utterance, the frown on any man's face, and most certainly not one belonging to a mailed warrior like yourself: grim and hard—this trod all the ways of Negro lawnsm; its rocky paths and velvet lawns; "Drank every cup of joy. Heard every trump of fame." and through years of merciless self-discipline, of learning of learning has at last seized the Heights and come to his reward. As the guilding and steadying genius of The Defender System, and the luminaries circling around you: Anderson, Young, Lewis, Langston, Jones, Holly; Lawrence, James, and Justice in their respective orbits, you have made The Chicago Defender the most fearless and influential Contender and Justice for the Negro, PUBLISHED TODAY IN THE WORLD! Its readers—as in well known, being greater in number, and more widely distributed, THAN THOSE OF ANY TEN PUBLICATIONS OF THE RACE—have been right to disport yourself in the Beuhls lands and purple realms of self-elation; to pat yourself on the back, including other campers, and to mention other permissible qualifications that only they have achieved success through CEASELESS DILIGENCE have an unquestionable right to indulge But hold, Sir Knight! Keep your buckler on and pull your vizor down! Don't get chesty and "blow" yourself for a staff "feed" just because of the few pleasant truths I've been regaling you with. There are OTHER truths and observations, and an OCCASIONAL interrogation resting up my sleeves, that I've concluded to hand you, as the widest read Race man of the day, that may not be so all-fired pleasing. So, get ready! I'm winding up, and I intend to put the pill SQUARELY OVER THE PLATE. One of the striking contributions to a recent issue of The Defender was from the pencil of Mr. Fon Holly, the cartoonist, and wordless member of its editorial force. T72 The pictured thought of the artist represented a patient, a Black man (the South), stripped to his waistline, standing erect, while a physician, also a Black man (The Chicago Defender), was injecting a serum, labeled "Backbone Tonic," between the kidneys and in the small of the patient's back. Upon the wall was suspended a print of a fleshless skeleton, thus contributing to the atmosphere of the picture, that inexplicable SOMETHING—what is it?—that our fancies are wont to associate with the professional quarters of individual members of one of the world's noblest callings. It was a daring and illuminating sketch, and the concrete reflection conveyed by the brilliant genius of the crayon stick—the McCutcheon of his Race, was clear and convincing. Bolled down and studied through the spirituality that breathed from it, it amounted to an admonition and COMMAND to our brethren in the Southland; a shout IN TRUMPET TONES! The voice being that of your great Journal, Brother Abbott, The Chicago Defender, and WHAT it said—could we have heard it, was just about this: "MEN AND WOMEN of the Southland; NOW that you've been shot with a charge of The Defender's BACK-BONE TONIC, which is calculated to PUT iron in your blood! FIRE in your eyel. DETERMINATION in your hearts! STRENGTH in your arms! MARROW in your spine! GET A MOVE YOUR SELVES! Wake up in STAND! Throw your shoulders BACK! Wake out with your chest!

Love ONE wife--but NO "woman!" ONE wife--but NO "man!" BE TRUTHFUL GOWNS! Wins not more than HONESTY! All of which, Brother Abbott, was very, very timely, and beyond question most opportune; GOOD stuff--as far a It put The Defender in the light of measuring up to the ideals expected of It publacated and was wilful with the breath, of statesmanship, the pronounce It is somewhat out of the usual, the personal talk I've elected to have with you, Brother Abbott, in this issue of The Defender.

Your dope WAS good; IS good; the ONLY vision; is pure BURELLY, through the revolving wall with the: "Master in the shadow: Keeping watch above His own," will solve the problem of the Negro's Industrial, Civic and Racial status--but will not be the ONLY problem.

Of our race family, as divided into sections, East, West, North and South, must be bounded—AND IT ALONE—continue to be pointed as the "horrible example" Are there NO sensible, splendid souls South? Do those virtues and qualities, through which the race is entitled to praise and commendation, flourish ONLY in northern soil? In your zeal for our brethren in the Southland, Brother Abbott, and you need not apologize for it, it will bloom—A WHITE FLOWER TO YOUR MEMORY—long after your labors are ended, has there or has there not been a danger that incident to the heat and absorption of your great work, you may have overlooked THOUSANDS OF NEGROES IN THE NORTH greatly and shamefully in need of a jab of your healing needle between THEIR kidneys? Are there not CONDITIONS, phases and characteristics of the Political, Religious, Social and Domestic lives of many Northern Negroes, as we know them in our great population centers—Chicago included—who, because of their warped ideals, their crooked walks, social caricatures and ridiculous vanities, are suffering not only for a major dose of your SPECIAL RACE SERUM, but, as a first aid to that, the curative persuasion of a club? We have with us, in this beloved Northland we inhabit, and over which we are prone to indulge in much boastful pride, in a rotten carcass, stalking in our midst with a cheek of brass and the effrontery of alley tramps, meeting us at every turn, such creatures as: THE VENEAL POLITICIAN— Who in NO sense, with an occasional exception, represents the IN-TELLING CLEAN AND UP-RIGHT, in our Civic, Religious and Domestic life. THE PULPIT POLITICIAN- Who one day of the week makes a bluff at preaching "Christ and Him" in his church, but is busy kicking his heels at Heaven, who takes a HEADER TOWELL HARD by turning God's House into a POLITICAL white politician and his low-grade white politicians and the syllable they slip in his hand for the betrayal of his people, and the sniffing of his preaching garb. DIETY FRUMPS AND STRAINERS. Who in their crazy fever to accomplish a social plague make a "FRONT" shine in EXPENSIVE PLUMAGE, spread "Pink Teens," serve "Course Dining," teach "Dance Lessons" and mentions on their homes to go a-glimmering, or the rent man to get busy with his "Five-day Notice" and in the END, the frayed-a-frayed-rag, their ONCE honored name a memory, home taken from them, or WRECKED; when those "subsidized" upon-a-ping the wealthy to "retirement," "See," no longer "Know" them, they realize, too LATE, the ridiculous stillness of it all, and the punishment that NON-SUPPORTERS OF NEGRO ENTERPRISE AND WORTH Truly a most CONTEMPIBLE class of Negroes!

RENEGADE NEGROES- Who, having resided a few years in the North, acquired homes, raised families and generally prospered, are, nevertheless, a MOST UNPLEASING TYPE OF NEGRO. Next to the man who denied the Savior comes the coward who denies his birth spot; and, in the case of a Negro, IS ASHAMED TO ADMIT HIS SOUTHERN BIRTH. Ask one of these renegade Negroes casually—not thinking—what part of the South HE halls from, and he's quick to assure you: "You're mistaken; I was born North." He's generally one of the FIRST to turn the cold shoulder against his migrating brethren from THE LAND WHERE HE FIRST DREW BREATH. But what's the use? Such are a few—and ONLY a few—of the CONDITIONS AND PERSONS NORTH, that need ripping up the back with a vengeance! Their whole spinal column, from their crupper bone to the nape of their neck, laid bare and the marrow therein submerged, shot through and through, with The Defender's Back Bone Tonic. Ought it not for a spell divide its ministrations between our brethren in the South and our brothers in the North: MUST be made; bearing the burden for ALL the race; facing BLISTERING BLISTERING OF OF- and OF- and the Fruits, Ingrates, Strainers and Race Abortions of the North? Should The Defender not have a care ER for everything due our People—and THEN some—is also ROCK ribbed, STEEL bound and FIRE gilded, I'd be a dizzy guy, don't you think, to worry in advance as to how you MIGHT view what I'm about to say? To the Voters Next Tuesday, Primary day, the members of the Race will have an opportunity to guarantee for themselves racial representation in the city council. There are many candidates for this office among our people in the Second ward, but there is only one who will have the backing of the Republican organization—that man is Louis B. Anderson, and a defeat at the polls next Tuesday for him will mean that the next alderman for the Second will be a white man, and a Democrat at that. No matter who the other members of the Race may be who are aspiring for this nomination, the very fact that Louis Anderson represents the regular title of the ballot in the ballot of every qualified voter the Second. The Editor of the Defender is hopeful that Mr. Anderson will be supported by the intelligent members of the Race on Tuesday, as his success will mean much for the residents of the Second ward in the future—R. S. ABBOTT, Editor. NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE HONORS DOUGLASS Boston, Mass., Feb. 23.—The state and city joined in paying tribute to the memory of Douglass, abolitionist, and activist at Faneuil hall, Feb. 14.

City Comptroller Watson was one of the speakers, taking the place of James Monroe, the first U.S. president could not attend. Watson declared that "biblogy exists in color as well as in race and religion. He urged a better understanding of the Race of Boston, and said that "if the members of the Race in Boston have any grievances they will be given a chance to address in fair, plain way to Mayor Curley." Past Commander-in-Chief J. E. Gilman, told thrilling tales of his speaker, and told thrilling tales of his colored troops in the Civil war, and urged that the stars and stripes always mean the war. The program included the following speaker; program included the following presided; Adj. I. S. Mullen of Robert A. Bell post 134, G. A. R. Mrs. Hester Stark's musical and literary union, Dr. Mary E.

PROGRESSIVE IDEAS In the past few weeks there have appeared in the columns of the Defender a series of interesting advertisements business propositions over among out people. Reference is made to the J. L. Slaughter guarantees mortgage plan, which is certainly a long felt benefit of the white brokering business since it has been almost a matter of impossibility for our people to secure loans on property holdings from the white brokering business sell out customers to consider such holdings good simply on account of the nationality of the owner. As a consequence, when a property was wanted money he had to sell out the business ridiculously low figures. The J. L. Slaughter plan not only makes it easy for the members of the Race to secure a loan on property deposits, thus allowing one member of the business to mortgage, but it also gives the investor a chance to advance his money at double the amount of interest allowed to the borrowers. That one which reduces the rates of payment on mortgages secured by the property owned by another, and at the same time the interest paid on one which reduces the business among themselves is bound to be recognized as a privilege; it will preclude all further necessity of having to borrow from investors, at the same time, whenever they are available, are the safest investments, being gilt-edged because the risk that first mortgages on the loan can be taken by the money invested brings a 5 per cent rate of interest. The progress of the J. L. Slaughter offices along this line will be the most interesting, and we feel that it is bound to be a popular institution among our people. A VERY VIGILANT CARE—not to make meal of ONE section and fish of the OTHER? A "Light on a hill," a Beacon that has two contemporaries; shining in Spendall its fame must NEVER flicker, its high and solemn duty. NEVER lag. Knowing neither a North nor a South, nor seeing but seeing EACH, rebukeing EACH, lighting the way, it must say, in effect, as was said by The Father, way back in the Time was young; Go ye FORWARD! Heads UP! Breasts OUT! Hearts CLEAN! Steps STRAIGHT! "And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to LEAD them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them LIGHT to go by day, and night.

May 22-Week has woken this city that three years after Fisk University began, was given $50,000 by the National Educational Board, that the Carnegie Corporation gave another $50,000. There is the university raising a total of $150,000 in general rehabilitation of the plant. President McKenna, since he has been the head of the school, has been most aware of the university's efficiency of the school. The university has been in need of funds for a long time to make new provements and may need to keep the property from depreciating it. It is the intention of the management to expend this time in modernizing large buildings during the students before-living accommodations. The students have entered actively into the program, and recently contributed, a total of $179.75 out of their meager funds. The present management the grounds and buildings is estimated NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSSED AND NO CASES WERE ENTENDED IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES False Viewpoint of Disease One's viewpoint has much to do with his success in life. This is also true that one's viewpoint has a great deal to do with his coping with and overcoming any form of sickness or disease. Many view disease or sickness as a curse from some higher power, never taking into mind that he himself is largely responsible for many of his ailments—that sickness and disease are due largely to the violation of certain laws, either by omission or commission. Then, too, many people fall to follow certain advice bearing upon the laws of health. They feel that they can violate these laws after being carefully advised and still be free from the consequences of their violation. Another false viewpoint is, that when people are told that they are suffering from the effects of certain disease, and that because this certain named affection or allment does not turn out according to the way they think it should terminate, they falsely believe at once that the doctor, their medical adviser, was wrong and "did not know what he was talking about." Diagnosing Diagnosing, for example, not long ago, a man took suddenly sick with pain in his abdomen - vomiting, constipation. The doctor, in fact, had a plexicosis - in fact, he had all the classical symptoms of acute appendicitis. This man was told by his medical adviser, a years of experience, who had many appendicitis, and if he was not better within twelve or twenty-four hours that an operation for that disease was emulated, much endangered without the operation; the patient was advised that appendicitis was a dangerous disease, as danger region of a fool with a lighted match in his hand; that it was impossible to tell what might happen if the fool should not near that magazine. However, this man was apparently from his appendicitis after a prolonged illness and therefore falsely reasoned that his medical adviser was wrong, and that he had appendicitis, because he did not die. Thus, falsely reasoning that if he had had appendicitis, he would have died, he ignored friends knew more how to advise him to as his "misery" than his experienced medical adviser. A friend of his took suddenly ill with THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 23.—The Globalobe in a recent strong editorial concerning the North Exodus, which has so alarmed the south, the unburdened itself; the northern men of position, character and intelligence, who have with many mental reservations, the origins of terror, miscalled race wars; the losses of massacres from continued acquiescence; this not only enduring, but it is the first which has aroused them to the point of taking an end to mobocracy. A quarter of an ago, after cotton fields had been deserted, ago, after cotton fields had been deserted, facing the county, the land business men of the towns, meeting a busy conference to stop the hegemony of the war, to influence for the restoration of order. Their efforts were almost always seen as a war war would end, all agricultural "These gentlemen, speaking in private and in confidence, would express the conscience of lawless conditions they felt to be the punishment of Negro criminals. They fended their toleration of such conditions by the need of political necessity. To the Global community often expressed their conviction that the need for growing under toleration of the better chasse, would eventually carry the more difficult and beyond its first limitations and lead it to the more dangerous hangings a popular pastime for rural and characterless men and boys. That condition has since been approximated in the fact that there has naturally set in an exodus of Natives such sections, and from other sections of the south, to the north.
