Chicago Defender

ter addressed to the editor of One Daily News, signed by R. B. Neal of Chicago, who was for more than five years a resident of this city, but about five or six months ago moved to Chicago. The letter reads as follows: Sarah is getting the high wages promised, but his financial condition is not as good as when he was in Jackson. And here is the way that he explains it. The laborer in Chicago gets 22½ cents per hour, working 55 hours per week, at a total of $12.37, and this is what he spends: Room rent, $4; groceries, $4; car fare, 60; liquor, $2. That is a total of $8.90, which allows him a weekly balance of $1.77 to spend for clothes and luxuries. In Jackson, he states that the average member of the Race makes $9 per week, and here is what he spends: House rent, $1.25; groceries, $2.50; fuel, 50 cents; total, $4.25; leaving him a net balance of $4.75. He also says in his statement that liquor and car fare are funded by the Jackson list. (Forerder why he did not explain the reason that it was not included), for here the Race usually walks to work, something that he cannot do in Chicago, unless he is fortunate in being able to get a room near his work, which is rarely the case. He also states that he "hopes the Newies in Jackson can see the difference" in that the Chicago labors "buy his wife with the week's $25 boo," would like to ask him at this point has he ever paid that much for a suit of clothes.) I also noticed in the article where it said that my friend Neal was an exceptional "Negro" and one with unusual ability (at this point I am forced to say that someone has overrated my friend and has done a job with the Armour Packing company which pays him $30 per month. This I am gilad to hear, although I was surprised to know that he would explain his ignorance in such a perspicuous way, for I am sure that my friend Neal has exaggerated concerning the salary of the availible work well as the high cost of living in Jackson. In addition, age salary in Jackson today is $7.50 per week and there never was a time that you could get a house in Jackson for $1.25 a week, and so far as liquor is concerned, I will admit that it is very scarse in this vicinity. However, you can sometimes run across a pint, proffered to you by a friend, for same, regardless of the quality, and are compelled to ask for it in a low whisper and drink the contents at once in order to play "safety first." } Now, I will admit that there are some here that do get $5 per week, but they are compelled to be a "Negro of quality," as well as skill, in which capacity I am afraid that my friend, R. B. Neal, can do that. Now, so far as the weekly expense in Chicago, I am unable to say, but I do know that it runs as follows in Jackson: House rent $ 2.90 Twelve pounds of flour .75 Two pounds of meat at 25 cents .50 Two pounds of lard at 25 cents .50 Two pounds of dry peas at 15 cents .50 Two pounds of sugar at 10 cents .50 One pound of coffee .40 Six pounds of meal .30 Two pounds of rice at 8 cents .16 One can of milk .15 One peck of sweet potatoes .35 One pint of liquor (saturday night) 1.50 Total $7.11 Now, then we let us take it for granted that the eleven pounds number the Race in Jackson (do get in Jackson on them) then add in the liquor bill, as my friend Neal did, and we will find that there is only a balance of $1.89, which is $2.56 less than he said, and only 12 cents less than he said the Chicago expense was, $2.1 we have not added in any car fare, and $2.66 less than he said he did not—there are only six streets that we can cars run and none of these enter the Race district, therefore the members of the Race are compelled to walk to work. THE FARMER'S WORKSHOP Abraham Lincoln Jones, of Birmingham, Ala., serving the Officers' Reserve Corps their noonday meal at Fort Sheridan, Ill., Louis Swift Jr. and sons of other Chicago millionaires are seen getting their rations. Although the government won't make "any provisions for men of color to train" for officers, though those who have applied are college graduates, as the "solid south" is now in power they rely upon our men to serve, as there have never been any traitors to soup poisoners among us. The Race which has been so loyal to this country still stands for one flag and one country, but demands no segregated training camps. ALONG THE NORTH SHORE BERRY CROP HURT BY EXODUS TO NORTHLAND WHITE WOMEN AND GIRLS ARE CALLED UPON TO WORK IN STRAWBERRY FIELDS Hopkinsville, Ky., May 15—The first crop of berries to be grown by the Christian County Strawberry association will soon be ripe and the only thing which threatens a most successful season is the trouble in getting pickers, as most of the pickers, who were members of the crew, have gone north because of ill treatment. The other caretakers are ripe they must be picked right then or heavy loss ensues. The present shortage of labor to begin with and the increased demand for what labor is in sight, has seriously threatened the strawberry crop. But Manager Powell of the association has called upon the white women and girls to regularly to help save the crop and the responder to help us make it appear now that the crop will be saved. However, the full number of pickers has not yet been secured and still more are wanted. They will be paid at the rate of 7 cents per gallon. The association controls more than a hundred acres and the crop promises to yield one in every respect, with a large yield in the spring. The ket for the berries is already assured, it is said, and the growers are anticipating a profitable season. If this materializes it means that the average$^6$ will be largely increased.

C., May 16—One of the most remarkable, and at the same time disgusting displays of Race prejudice ever seen anywhere in America has been the labor board at the United States navy yard here. It is hard, at this time, and during a period of stress such as faces this country today, to believe that Recorder of the Board Marvin J. Tay- Refused Blanks It is estimated that there will be a demand for women to fill over 600 positions in the new building which is nearing completion and that there will be enough Race women who are experienced and competent to fill every one of them, and this being true, the excuse and competent to fill the official, Taylor, that he would hire white women only cause he feared to mingle members of the two races, is a palpably lame one. Let him hire white women for the building now in use or transfer them to the new building and fill the present plant with our women; this would eliminate any danger of a racial clash. But DON'T BE A SLACKER; JOIN THE EIGHTH NOW DON'T wait for the government to draft you. Join the Eighth now. This is the regiment where young men have a chance to rise from corporal to colonel. Every officer is a man you know. Your duty is to serve. Don't wait to be sent to a regiment or to companies there are men you do not know. The Eighth is made up of home boys; men of education and intelligence. Men of high school and college education have chances to rise—promotions await them. May 15 Company G had its recruiting day, and Private McCoy says they took in twenty-one new recruits. Throughout the week each company has had its turn to do recruiting service. It is confidently reporting that the Eighth regiment will be off somewhere in the country, taking its share of service. Join the Eighth now is the slogan of the south side.

TEAR OFF THIS CORNER ING RIGHT DOWN to the point, putting all jokes aside and most serious vein, we must realize our own importance, inside our modesty and accept as a fact that there is some superior about us; something that impels the other folks us in this big, broad land to ever put us on a pinnacle, to individided attention by day; by night to dream of us. Dozens come and go, enter into the body politic, drop out again, same lasting impression that a punctured toy balloon leaves. sure, have we not the right to be proud of the unique position in matters of national importance? seeing statesmen, for instance, make woman's suffrage a state ing Alabama, Georgia and other fair-minded and law-abiding to extend to the Colored women the right of suffrage. Now that arm" has become our slogan, the hoe was very promptly shoved hands of the Colored brother, but history records that even when to "arms" we are accorded a choice and inviting position at the procession, as those who were at Carrizal will attest. the recent economic change induced by the war, our migration is printed in flaming headlines in our leading dailies to the our continued attempts to serve our government as other Amer- are permitted to serve, some of whom cannot boast as be- mone advertised unhyphenated citizens.

It stands for liberty, quality and justice for all, and under it lynching; segregation, mob law peonage have no just part. PLAYING TO THE GALLERY FRIGHTENING PEOPLE into being good works fairly well or the time, but it has no lasting qualities. Every conceivable method has been employed to induce the MEN of the south to remain in that section, laws have en enacted, threats have been made, pleadings have been resorted to, but to no all, the procession still goes on and gains impetus as it goes. Now comes a man who could grasp for a straw so the press spreads wildly over its pages as this: The bodies of seven Negroes, who died in the north, have reached city, and they are not all that have occurred under similar conditions; suddenly there have been scores of others whose bodies went back to stations, or else were buried where they died, because their friends able to pay transportation of the bodies back to their old homes, manageable demonstrates the physical folly of southern Negroes suddenly going into northern Negroes necessary to watch Mister are not injured. Even if they get a little higher wages the margin is more than absorbed in increased living expenses. Even then, they cannot be as comfortable and as SAFE as they are in the land where they were brought up. If a southern Negro has not the finest of physiques, if he has the faltest touch of lung weakness or testes has had any blood disease, he should never risk his life in a northern winter. If he has injuries, or even the privilege of being called 'Mister' by northern white men, and still they come, as ignorant as they are, will they not take advice the people "who know best how to care for them"? It is odd why a dozen of the thousands who migrated should take sick and die; perhaps, if they enained at home they could have died without the formality of getting sick. people are so inconsiderate, always taking the joy out of some one else's life, in the north, and the man who finds pleasure in sleeping in on a bale of wool's funny shoveling snow with the thermometer around the zero mark. But that type of man fortunately remains in the "problems." a usual thing, the advertisement for a quack patent medicine covers every man/or beast is heir to; you can't get around it; it fits your case exactly or what your complaint is. So with the southern newspaper warning, "If you have weakness or tendency thereto, or any blood don't go north. Judging by the vast number of unheaders the north settling men physically perfect or the same mixture is having it is a hard matter to please people who really do one breath the cry is to relieve us of our burden, in the next stop taking from under us.

As a member from down-home says, "The mainst thing we want is to be let alone." WHILE TIMES ARE GOOD it behoves each and every wage earner to lay by a certain sum for that rainy day that is so come.

READERS OF THIS PAPER can be thankful for one thing, any way, the price of the world's greatest weekly still remains at five cents. TWENTY-FIVE, THOUSAND Colored men, it is said, offered to join a regiment led by Col. Roosevelt. Birds of a feather, etc.—all are good fighters. THE NEGRO IN ART energy from the shadow to illuminate. Forcing the problem is being by "a power not of ourselves" by the deep purpose of nature and her slow process of evolution. The word problem is not good. There are no social problems, such as a labor, race or religious problem; such things are conditions to be lived through, instead of puzzles to be worked out. And perhaps the Negro wants most of an abolition. He writes that you must be studied as a case, not patronized, nor helped. All he wants is a square deal, equal opportunity, and his just deserts. An experiment is being tried in New York, consisting of a company of Negro actors who attempt a serious dramatic play. It is not particularly for them and supposed to be peculiarly adapted to their genius. If a highly cultured and entirely unprejudiced foreigner were to look for the most interesting theater in the city he would find it here. For here are real human beings trying to themselves and not to depict borrowed emotions. It is the best kind of art. Art consists in the forthputting of one's self. It means doing, with that freedom and naturalism that come only from genius and long practice, the thing that makes a person a Negro. These Negroes play Negro plays. They are revealing the soul of a people. They are not propagandizing. They do not demand, argue or protest. They are real artists. No artist has a pathos and a sense of simplicity in his work. There are certain qualities of spirit, certain shades of passion and of conscience, which the Negro can portray better than any other. There is a pathos, a tender edge of sympathy, a beauty, and a gineminess of simplicity. CALL FOR ENLISTMENT Come, rally round the flag, boys, You've sung it over and over.

LET US PRAY Now that war is about to become a "real fact" over on the other side of the border the Canadian people are feeling more easy over the ultimate result. They think that with the United States the "scrap" that Germany is sure to be able to get over is peace. Lot us hope this may be true. But now, here comes the usual Negro bugaboo from down south, somewhere behind the sun. The bonehead yaps of that God-forsaken country are scared almost to death because somebody has said the Negroes were going to join with the Germans and kill off all the whites of the south 4 has the New York Tribune of the south 4 has the news about what the Germans have been doing among the Negroes for years past along this line, and the most idiotic argument is used to verify the statement. Of course, it is all rot and bunk. The rednecks and "crackers" of that part of the country want some excuse for the Negroes' lonely Elm Grove and murder of Elm Grove a prosperous community of Colored people in the state of North Carolina and it is said that German doctors are telling the Negroes they will have full and equal "social equality" with the whites when Germany wins this war. "Social wants social equality" like No Negro wants social equality like the white man—that is a thing to compute itself. No law can make social equality. We don't visit or mingle with any one we don't want to. But the Negro does want the rights of citizenship, the rights to vote, and the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness, all of which he is robbed out of down south today. The southern white man knows he is guilty of all the wrongs the Negro has suffered and his conspiracy has robbed him to a standstill, and he feels the worst, and is trembling. This tyrannic Conscience doth make cowards of us all. Again we are told by this article in the Tribune, of the loyalty of the proverbial "old black mammy"—she of an bellum days, the kind of Negro they pretend to love so much and lie so often about—this poor old soul thought she heard some Negroes plotting against the whites, so she goes to Marse Pritchett and tells him the "bugaboo" will get him if he doesn't watch out." So Marse Pritchett gets busy and he and some of his kind are going to ride over Elm Grove to see about it and perhaps we may read of another lynching. The murdering of innocent Negroes by the gentlemen of the aristocratic south of Paris, perhaps some of the sons or daughters of this same old black mammy may be burned at the stake. They cook the Negro in all kind of ways; he baked, boiled, fried, stewed and roasted—now all they can do. Next is to eat him, and we are expecting that any day, for they are canibal enough for us. Why should they not join his horde of protect themselves from getting even vultures—to say nothing of them? Let us pray. No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles Health Survey Extensien In 1916, by the authority of the mayor and the common council, an extensive health survey was started largely for the purpose of discovering the number of open cases of tuberculosis in certain districts or sections of this city. This survey revealed very profitable information. It showed the authorities that there were a much larger number of tuberculosis cases in Chicago than was ever dreamed; and it showed that these tuberculous cases were not confined any single or particular race of Dr. Williams This fact was surprising to many those in authority among the white race to find so many open cases of tuberculosis. The conditions were alarming that the authorities have no clue about the survey, on the side and see if there are as many cases among the Colored people as have been found, to their great astonishment among the white people. Survey for Good Health A house to house tuberculous survey of the district lying within North avue and Twenty-second street, State at Ashland, was just made by white physicians and nurses, as that district is very largely composed of members of the white race. Colored and White Survey It has been decided to extend the survey and to employ Colored and white physicians and nurses on the south side. The territory to be surveyed will include both sides. Wapahani avenue for Twenty-second street to Fifth street (Garfield boulevard), both sides. Wentworth from Twenty-second to Fifth-fifth street; at Thirty-first street. Dr. Williams people; that the Colored people were not the only people that had tuberculosis amongst them, and that tuberculosis is no respecter of person. Open cases of tuberculosis were found in the kitchens of the poor, among the rants, among a large number of the waiters, cooks, salad makers and others that handle food in the loop district; and, strange to say, according to the past tradition, these open cases of tuberculosis were not found among members of the white race. Only a few days ago it was found by some of the survey investigators that in certain parts of little Italy one Italian in every four was suffering with tuberculosis. It was made about it because it happened not to be members of the Colored race, and, too, nearly all of the cooks, waiters, stewards, etc., were of the white race.

Survey for Good Health A house to house barbecue survey of the district lying within North avenue and Twenty-second street, State and Ashland, was first made by white physicians and nurses, as that district is very largely composed of members of the white race. Colored and White Survey It has been decided to extend the survey and to employ Colored and white physicians and nurses on the south side. The territory to be surveyed will include Twenty-second, Wabash avenue from Twenty-second street (Garfield boulevard), both sides of Wentworth from Twenty-second to Fifty-fifth street; at Thirty-first street, runs east to the lake, south to Thirty-second, and then west to Wabash avenue. --- Mayor William Hale Thompson has requested, the people living in the above mentioned district to please receive this notice and make sure that all physicians will be instructed to examine every person free of charge and to give advice concerning health. If one is not aware of the need to see their own family physician or to go to the dispensary in his district for treatment. The mayor solicits the hearty support of all the people in making this survey. Ramphiet of Information The mayor and the board of directors have issued or will issue a pamphlet brim full of good advice, very wholesome and useful knowledge therein on their cause, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis. The advice on the nature of tuberculosis and on things that help to make people feel better is good health rules is admirable and worthy to be accepted and followed out to the letter. If people will follow the advice given in this help pamphlet issued by the mayor and the board of directors they will go a long way toward themselves and will do much toward prevention spread of it and assist greatly in the cure and control of this disease. Some of the valuable points in this pamphlet for you to read and follow: PTION OR TUBERCULOSIS In Contagios FIRST: Splitting on showwalks and upon floors spreads disease, especially consumption. If you must spit, carry your bucket and burn it when you get hot. Dont spit in your handkerchief, crush it up—then open it out among other people, for your sputum contains thousands of germs. SECOND: The very sick consumptive should go to the hospital or sanitation. An advanced consumptive at home gives this disease to children and babies. An advanced consumptive necessary to go to Colorado, New Mexico or any place to be cured of tuberculosis. You can be cured right here in Chicago or its vicinity. FOURTH: Medicine does not cure consumption alone. Don't take medicine except under the direction of a doctor. Don't buy "Consumption Cures" you only waste your money. Don't use also, whisky and gin 'do you much hair. FIFTH: Attend your tuberculosis dispensary and follow the directions and good advice of the doctor and nurse and not that of your meddlesome neighbors. 1. Bad air; tightly closed, stuffy room; dirty and dusty sleeping rooms. 2. Dirty food; food uncovered so that dust and dirt get into it and files get out. 3. Not enough sleep; going to too many dances; frequently poorly ventilated and overcrowded churches and theaters, lodge halls, etc.; use of alcoholics, too much beer, gin, rum and whisky; excessive smoking, especially of cigarettes. 4. Work in crowded and dirty soops with the windows closed; fear of catching cold; lack of outdoor exercise when well. 5. Irregular eating; going to work or to school without breakfast, insufficient food during the day or overeating at one meal. 6. Letting baby creep on the dirty floor and put dirty things into his mouth.

If there is anything going on over the briny that we don't because our old pal, Norrie Smith hasn't, time to nose it out, and it wouldn't be of much importance, anyhow. Read: Manchester, Ireland, April 19. Dear Old Smiles Tony: —Just make up my mind to write a good, long letter, full of dope, so lets start from here. This week, I will find you the same, and also those of the Spades in the Protosh. To begin with, the weather over here is very bad, snowing in April, and the bunch couldn't spring the spring suits as usual, and had to keep on the old winter overcoats instead. This week, I will come in the lips instead of new suits. I didn't have a new suit myself, anyhow, so I was about showing the old ivory and gold smile. I will be back in London in about four weeks, and will then spring the new ones on the mob. I know just what they will want, and come the old dope writer; all dressed up and no place to go." Charley Hart was in Swansea last week and goes back to London for a run on the Syndicate time. Harry Scott, one of the most famous One Billy Farrell, as Whalley was forced to lay off on account of having an operation; performed on his nose and throat; it was a successful one and he has gone to the south of France to re-read the book. Belle Davia and her Grand-old-ninies are at the Empire, Sheffield, next week; she may join her husband in the south of France. Nespa? which means in French.

Haston always wishes to be remembered to you and her many friends in and out of the profesh. Her address is 15 Mortimer Hill, London, and Day, Tony, what about that music I asked you to send me? Well, McAllister & Smith had a four weeks' vacation, and opened last week, April 9th, at Birkenhead, and made good. We are vacationing again this week, and we Brusen and Staffordshire next week with Brusen and Staffordshire, we expect some good work to come in; however, we can't kick, as they are not booking so fa. ahead over here now.

Jackellis of Providence, R. L. who has been over hers for ten years, has an act call-ing to me, and went to Bolton especially to be the act that he believes me, it is some act. The Captain plays two cornetes at the same time, getting harmony out of one and melody out of the other. His wife just wears a piano out and plays it and the cornet at the other. He is a whackey on the trombone; is a real black-face comedian, and dances like Tommy Carter. This act is in right Garland's troupe, "Colored Society," is still up north and he manages to keep it going in his big great show; they are in La Rue de weeks' time. Alexander Williams is still trap drumming at the Savoy, London. So is the big smoke, Hughes Pollard still with Harry Day's Revenue Special Mixture.

Harry Wellman is out with an act of fourteen Ofay girls; it is called the Billiken Man; I don't know that is good enough. Bonny & Preece are in Russia. Tell Fiddler & Shelton to get mad and write to me, and also put that word into Simon's Agency, Chicago. They will know what I mean. I'm in running out of talent and dope; I think I will take the art, I will take my whip in hand. Remember me to all my friends, and write and send that music as you promised a long, long time ago. I hope all who read this will survive my old friend. NORRIS SMITH 56 Broad St., Bloomsbury, London, W. C. 2, England. MRS. HATTIE KING ILL Mrs. Hattie McInnish King, wife of the famous Billy, is seriously ill at her home at 3219 South Park avenue. The patrons of the Grand have missed her smiling presence very much and are a humping to her. She is unhappy with her recovery. She is unhappy with her personal life. Chicago's most efficient physicians, who hopes to have her out soon. Devil's Assistant "The Devil's Assistant," Margarita Fischer's fourth Pollard-Mutual star production, contains a plot of big moments and heart interest, a great preachment against the use of drugs. J. Edward Hungerford, the noted author, has clothed a tremendous idea in a story which offers Miss Fischer opportunity for some of the strongest dramatic playing of her career. He has given Harry Pollard, director, a chance to use his artic ability, his feeling for the dramatic, his human knowledge with bold strokes. A short synopsis is hereby given: Marta—the role played by Miss Fischer—is a screen delinquency of the battle of a beautiful woman against the evil of morphine used as a tool in the hands of false friends and a disappointed suitor. She but loses her fight, passing through the "Valley of the Shadow" into a final happiness. Marta marries John, the other suitor, leaving Dr. Lorenz embittered and disappointed. A plotting woman, disappointed in losing the man Marta marries, takes him to take advantage of his position. Marta's physician to make her a morphine victim. She is driven all but insane by her craving, while the doctor seeks to increase his power over her. There is a struggle, in which she all but uses; her husband is half enlightened, and she is more harder; she is spirited into a lonely hut, the proy of the perfidious Lorenz, and the worst is about to be realized, when destiny interferes—a finish of lightning interposes. Marta's vision takes her across the barrier into the dim and angelic; but she wakes in the arms of her husband—and the villain, Lorenz, is dead. This feature, which pictures a woman's soul from happiness to hell and back again, comes to the States theater for two days, Sunday and Monday, May 11. It is on a special permit, so there will positively be no one under 21 admitted.

LOUIS HAS REAL ESTATE TROUBLE St. Louis, Mo., May 18.—We are having a bit of trouble here with the real estate question. Here in this big city a white company is not only segregating us by selling into a certain district, but they are so plainly robbing the Race man and woman who buys that the following information will convince the most skeptical. The Argus, a publication of the Race; the two letters from the white people who have made money, and the clipping from the St. Louis Post Dispatch show plainly what is going on. We print the following taken from a circular sent to one member of the Race whom the realty company thought was white. The members of the Race will now clearly see the situation and will open their eyes. THE CIRCULAR DISPATCH, JAN, 24, 1917 LOTS WHITE MEN BUY DOUBLED IN PRICE TO NEGROES Realty Company Engages to Resell Sites in New South Kinloch Park Subdivision WANTS NEGOTIABLE NOTES Unable to Use Negro Purchasers' Paper as Collateral; Company Officers Explain Plan While segregation of Negroes in St. Louis is restrained by a temporary injunction in the United States District Court, the United States Supreme Court is being exploited in St. Louis county by a real estate company which is selling lots to Negroes in South Klinch Park at doubledown. The Olive Street Terrace Realty Co. is selling 25-foot lots in the subdivision at an average of $150 to white persons and an average of $300 to Negroes, and is doing well as it just moved from the Merchants-Lacelea building to larger quarters in the Boatmen's Bank building. Negroes are laid Out. The company first placed on the market the Klinch Park subdivision. Negroes applied for lots there, but the restrictions prevented sales being made them. That suggested, officers of the company, the plan of laying out the subdivision exclusively for Negroes. Property adjoining the Klinch Park subdivision, restricted to whites, was purchased, and South Klinch Park subdivision restricted to Negroes, was put on the market. Negroes bought readily on the terms of $5 down and $5 a month, but difficulty was encountered. The Negroes the company as collateral for bank loans. To get around this difficulty the plan of selling to whites and re-selling to Negroes was adopted. The plan, as explained by officers of the company, is to sell a lot or group of lots to a white person, who makes a small cash payment and gives a note to cover deferred payments at $2.50 per white man. White Men's notes as Collateral The notes of the white purchasers are accepted as collateral at the bank and discussed by the company, which understated the price, charging 10 per cent for its services. If a re-sale is made the white investor receives monthly payments from the Negroes in double amount of the white person's payments. COLD BLOODED MURDER Cowardly Copper Kills Defenseless Man; Claims Victim Had Gun San Antonio, Texas, May 18—Policeman C. J. Heefer, one of this city's "in- famous" gun lovers, shot and killed, last week when he shot and killed, without povocation, Mr. Crawford, a barber. According to the story of the mur- derer, he shot and killed the officer's stomach when the latter halted him after siring him following another man up the street. The officer against my stomach, so I drew my gun and shot him before he could fire." This red-neck should not only be tried for murder, but perjury as well, in-as-much as the mur- derer did, he was guilty of the unreasonableness of the killer's story. There is a well founded rumor that the killing was a direct result of Crawford's gunplay, our people in this section, mayor, at the last election. No charge was placed against the murderer, in fact, in keeping with the fair play usually our people in this section, Crawford's wedge of business was in West Houston. FEEDING THE COW BEFORE CALVING The proper time to begin feeding a daisy is at the beginning of calving, and practical daisymen agree that this preparation has more to do with the amount of grass during the incubation period than does the feeding during any other period. After calving, during the summer or early fall, most daisymen like to have a small pasture away from the herd, with an abundance of grass, and, in addition, a grain mixture. Corn silage, with clover or alfalfa hay and a limited grain grain parts of bran and ground parts, two parts of bran and one part of corn during winter or early spring. After calving up to full feed, be brought slowly to a higher production. H. H. Kildee, University Farm, St. Farm. Wanted. 2 Young Men At local address: 6243 Halsey 7 Street 1581 Milwaukee Avenue Entry THOR FSON WASHINGTON PARK AVE. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER FROM THE ARGUS (This announcement has been running in St. Louis' principal Negro newspaper.) White people who have bought more than one thousand lots in old Klinochool Park have been paying the same prices for the same things they have bought in South Klinochool Park. If there is any difference, the Colored people have been getting the beat of it because South Klinochool Park is nearer the city and has better street car service. The good Colored people of South Kinloch Park have built themselves a little city of which they have a right to be protected. More than a hundred homes, three churches, and a splendid public school have been built in the last few years. That is going to mean a bigger and better South Kinloch Park. We have been able to induce a number of the people of good standing to come with us to help them—to help with their money, their influence and their good will to make South Kinloch Park a bigger and better Negro to live and make his home. We have given these people a big share of our profits in order to get their attention because we believe they would help the benefit of everybody concerned. We have always been ready to give land to churches at a nominal price—because we believe they would help the benefit of churches at South Kinloch Park. We have always been ready to give land to schools and public institutions at a nominal price—because we believe they would help the benefit of schools at South Kinloch Park. And now we are giving us a certain number of white people of good standing at a nominal price because we believe their money, their influence and our influence are going to help South Kinloch Park. If you have any friends who have been thinking of buying, urge them to because there are bigger and better stores in store for South Klnichol Park. OLIVE STREET, TERRACE REALTY COMPANY TWO LETTERS FROM WHITES To Whom It May Concern; I have been doing business with the Olive Street Terrace Realty Company for ten years. Knowing them to be thoroughly educated, I was surprised by the South Klinch Park Subdivision, as soon as I heard about the unusually attractive investment they are offering. I did even take the trouble to go out and look at the property. It was sure they would make a better selection for me than I could make myself. In less than three weeks after I bought, some of my lots were sold for my double what I paid for them. I am not sure what I paid for them. F. P. FLECHER, D.D.S. 610 Chemical Bldg, St. Louis, Mo. To Whom It May Concern: I bought four lots in the Negro subdivision of South Klinoch Park, 610 Old Street Terrace Realty Company, built two cheap houses on the lots, and sold them immediately for a handsome profit. I received my payments regularly from the company, and bought the property from me. And I am highly pleased with my investment. am firmly convinced that the class of New Yorkers in this subdivision will pay for what that there is a big demand for this kind of office. I have been dealing with the Olive Street Terrace Realty Company for about ten years and have always found it a great place for obliquity and best of all, they make up for their clients. MARION E. BEGG STAY WITH YOUR GARDEN ALL SUMMER This year, according to the state college of agriculture, a garden fever has only over the villages and towns, but poultry and the larger cities. The main trouble is vegetable specialists, is that this fever does not last long. Anyone who tackles some garden hard enough and takes time to learn how to grow them, may it, is said, have a supply of seeds and relishes in the spring; vegetables throughout the summer; shelves of flowers in the fall, and others stored in the cage for other use. They say that the home garden yield as high as one hundred dollars worth of produce for the skillful gardener is a half dozen tomato vines trained on the back fence are worth white.

Such environment develops all their dispositions and inclinations or spirits in favor of the man with physical manifacies of the character of the man with their own physical characteristics. Their spiritual or self-governing man is so unnaturally developed that he is unable to serve, preserve and defend bodies with the physical characteristics of other races in preference to bodies with their own characteristics. He is liable in defending or excusing his unnatural and self-destructive government; for when subjected to the light of reason it becomes unnatural and liable in reasons given for not following the principles by which all naturally developed men are governed in admiring, respecting, and other; or their excuses are not valid. Though members of this race are absolutely controlled by the unnaturally instinctive which unnatural and unstable training has developed within their own bosoms because they have not been able to suffer from the untold misery which they entail to them and their offspring, they falsely believe that the difference between their natural physical characteristics and those of other races, instead of the invisible difference between their physical characteristics and those of naturally developed races, and because of their want of consciousness of such matters. Afrocentric physical characteristics and those of naturally developed races, and because of their want of consciousness of such matters. Afrocentric physical characteristics—the texture of their hair and the shade of their complexion—which are disgraced and inadvertent and sacrifices to change their natural spiritual characteristics without doing a single thing to change their unnatural and very undesirable spiritual characteristics, which undermine and unhappiness. While in such spiritual state, whatever else is done for them, will continue to be done until their undesirable and very harmful spiritual characteristics are changed. The Master is calling for volunteers of such undesirable spiritual characteristics, such as helpless bodies of which they are in control it commit such crimes against their own souls and bodies; and every volunteer will not only prove in part the saviour with race, but a special messenger of God. Because the offspring of this race has not been made conscious of the fact that they are undesirable, unmanageable and banishment from the presence of other men, except as menials and tools, and owing to the very undesirable, unmanageable and banishment from the presence of other men, unnatural training and development in their unnatural school of nature and school of art have given them the ability to make such undesirable characteristics which the God of God gave them. They are ashamed and humiliated on account of the latter, which they are making every effort and sacrifice to be perfectly satisfied with the former. If there is any difference between them such efforts are more ridiculous, polish and harmful than those of the thoughtful and purposeful tune for a beaver hat to cover his head while all the remainder of his body is naked, or than the ostrich when he believes that he is hiding with his head. In order to change such foolish conceptions and ridiculous actions, memoirs and race must be supplied with the thoughtful and purposeful spiritual characteristics or dispositions which unnatural training and development, benth in their schools of nature, seem to have come to embrace natural and desirable ones their stead and to make their conscious of the necessity of devising ways and means of accomplishing such greatly desired. Such undesirable spirits or dispositions survive and flourish in each succeeding generation of this race because of the thought impressions supplied by the perceptions, customs, mannerisms and expressions, customs, mannerisms in its native environment, which are the means of not only giving its offspring the slavish expressions, customs, the spirits or dispositions of their parents. They should also be supplied with thought impressions to make them con- tinue to truth that even if they could develop their own conscien- ties of the white man while they are controlled by their present spiritual char- terment they would be as much out of harmony with the naturally developed races as they are today. Their school of art is a failure because it does not carry thought im- pressions into consciousness of such all-important truths. The Afro-American has yet to learn that when measured by the spiritual standards of naturally developed man, the white man is undesirable and harmful, and that nearly everything which he is doing to change the hostile opinion of his race matters worse. Therefore he is in error, that the white man is admired or appreciated above himself purely on account of his more desirable physical, intellectual, and emotional characteristics, or that he is despised depreciated below the white man purely can account of his life, instead of his life, actual characterism and fact that he is destroying his fitness are the results, felt though, just as the man by man's prosperity lay him; he should be helped rather than out of the human E and state of conscious and night to change, which are destroyly American, American, who page spiritual characterist equally undesirable c no possess, is practic to no himself or he them His leaders appear to fees in him which t white race points out race, but fails to see harmful defects in him thought impressions in develop, which the earl white race does not car pressions to develop.

It is not too much to say that no greater defense and interpretation has ever been made before the white race. A perfect ovation was given the noted orator when he sat down. The occasion was a big patriotic banquet of the Greater Hampton Movement, the flower of Chicago was there. Dean Simmons of the University of Chicago was in protest. Prominent Speakers At the speakers' table, besides Dean Mathews, were D. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton; Dr. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the fashionable Fourth Presbyterian church; Dr. J. A. Whiting, executive secretary of the Greater Hampton Movement; Samuel M. Hastings, president of the Illinois Manufacturers Association; William S. Powell, a former Virginia slaveholder, and Roscoe Cookling, Simmons. "Sun Do Move" It was William S. Powers who said, after Dr. Simmons concluded: "John Jasper preached that 'De sun do move, and so do the world. Twenty-five years ago I a Virginian and a shaveholder, would not have sat at this table with Roscoe Simmons. Tonight I am honored and glad to sit by his side. He is the answer to the question, 'What are Hampton and Tuskegee doing?' What Hampton Is Dean Mathews, in his introductory remarks, said of the great Virginia university: "We have come to feel that in the last few months we have in the Colored people of the south an undiscovered asset in the tremendous pressure of the food problem. We are beginning to look to the Negro of the south as a sort of economic saviour. The grandchildren who have their grandchildren are disabled to the degree of industrial supply, both in factory and in field, as never regarded before. We look to Hampton not only for the indirect influence, but for indirect guidance for training leaders of Negro blood. "Institutions like Hampton, and its new progeny, are contributing to history something vastly more than the transforming influence to their students. It is not merely academic interests that brought us here tonight, for we all will be in schooling who make our living by teaching. Greater Hampton means a better United States. Dr. John Timothy Stone, speaking for Chicago/said: "Hampton has been to this country what Cambridge and Oxford have been to Great Britain. No institution with such a board of trustees as this can possibly fall. These men do not put the burden of the problems asked to, but because they realize the importance of the great work. The majority think very little of the problems of our Negro here. "I wonder if you have read that recent book on the Negro problem and seen it if the evidence of what exists in our city at the present time. There is no danger of the Closure of Chicago economic problem which is one of national importance. Here is a man who is coming here more rapidly than ever before and is doing a lot of work which our men are not doing and cannot do." Hastings Praises Race Samuel M. Hastings, president of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, one of the big men of the country, and head of the employers of 660,000 men, praised the Race and said Race men were superior to foreigners as workers. Mr. Hastings said: "It seems to me that a manufacturer is out of place with these distinguished men and speakers. However, as president of a great company, I am proud to represent. The Illinois Manufacturers Association, which I have the honor to represent, is composed of about 1,500 men, and they employ 600,000 men and women, and the value of their product is about $2,000,000 a year. I need to speak of another matter, and that is the fact that we are exceeding by $2,000,000 the Bank of England, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark and Germany. In the various branches of the United States treasury there is the greatest amount of gold this country has had in the past five years. I am to speak on the industry situation in Illinois and the relative situation in factories and at this time to speak on the am work that Hampton is doing. Great is been a time when the white There has was regarded superior to color the man of muscle. Everywhere is heart deserved necessary cry for labor. A large employer told me the day: "I employ several of them are in am well satisfied. Most of them few of fine physical condition. They are of them have bad habits. They are so severely loyal devoted to their work as paid as the white man and respond to tine treatment and appreciate every offer for their welfare." "We should bear in mind that the Negro is an American citizen. He understands and speaks the English language. "He is a lover of freedom. The Gospel, worship, sheer joy, singing and laughing.

"It is especially fitting that Illinois the home of Abraham Lincoln, should encourage any movement for the uplift of the colored people," he said, presenting Roscoe Conkling Simmons as principal speaker Cheers greeted him. Roscoe's Speech Mr. Simmons proceeded in his most masterful way: No question need he be asked as to the Nepal in a day like this. But the Nepra, in a way similar to an Tuskegee, and through his millions of loyal sons, has a question to ask of the American white man. "The nation must mobilize. The nation must prepare. The nation must conserve. We hear that from the ora- 1920 SAMUEL C. HASTINGS President of the Illinois Manufacturers Association, a friend to humanity tors and hear it from the daily prints. How shall we gather our forces together? That is the word upon the lips of the statesman upon whose shoulders is the burden of this war, and in whose hand is the destiny of this the greatest place man could ever call home since the earliest beginnings of civilization. Proud of Race "I am a Negro. I AM AN AMERICAN. In time of peace I am content with the name Negro. I am not only content, but proud of it. It is the name of that people selected by freedom hereditary, and the corner of the only temple of liberty ever built to the finish. (Cheers.) "But in time of war I cease to be a Negro, and become an American, and ask for the chance to show again that courage and devotion I have always in mind, and to lay my life in glory and in freedom. I hope I will be better." "I would rather be an American Negro, trusting my case to the growing justice of the American white man (prolonged asphupe); I would rather be an American Negro, eating bread of hope and drinking waters from the spring of the Stars and Stripes, that feast from plates of gold in the palace of a king. What Do We Say? "I love my country. I speak for a race that loves this country, its past with slavery, its present, and its mighty future. We know no other land; we know no other flag. No hyphen is in our name. We speak but one tongue. We have but one word. That word is for all, is black or white, at home or abroad, or wherever you are standing against as when you stand against the Stars and Stripes. "Our faith is planted in God and in the American white man, the greatest apostle of humanity the world ever saw. The American white man built Hampton, erected Tuskegee; the American white man went to fields of war and overturned the auction block of slavery. The American white man stood on the Declaration of Independence and store the Constitution of the United States then, remembering the God of nations went to the field and amended the Constitution in order to increase in the common people. "Hampton inc." — motherhood is to think on the one, because its student or officer. "Sogre to that institution, and we have never been disloyal to the war, have never deserted our benefactors, we have kept the faith, and now we war delivers the challenge of barricading this republic, look arsenal, and see our students our side say: 'Here we are; send us on the or-rend of reply to the fog.' The Great Mistake "The only mistake the American white man has permitted in the great government built up here as the challenge to the ancients who believed that the people must direct their affairs, is in excluding 1922 people from any voice in the halls of state. Not only for the Nero, but for my country and its future. I am hold out to ask you to consider that factual incidents of less hurry and less anxiety. This is not the time for any to preside grievance." "The American Nego is more concerned now with staring with you, in field and shop, and on the tented grounds of battle, in standing with box and plow and plowing, in standing with gun and those left behind or with gun and deadly aim to feed with teeth the soldiers of a distant throne. "If there are those who by word or deed seek to rob the nation of the rewarded service of the Negro, the duty of the American white man is the word and spathe deed. The Negro is the chains fought to save the nation. In chains he fought to save the nation. Now he asks to be permitted to defend the nation. Cabins—But! "Poverty may be our lot. Books may be mysteries to many among us. Cubans may be our homes, but we would have you remember that no disloyalty is in our record, no traitors have belonged to our Race, no hands among us have tried to tear the Stars from the flag, and no Negro in vengeance or maddened ambition ever struck down a "What else can we do to prove our Americanism? Whatever you tell us to do we shall do. Wherever you lie, we shall follow; your country, and your God our God." 'hope,' he said to the advancing Negro- fought under that flag in war, and under that flag in peace he appointed Booker T. Washington and made him an evangel of peace, an ambassador of good will. At the Door "Behold, I stand at the door and knock," said the Master. And so I stand, and those with me. Open and I will speak their desire, and say, put the uniform on me, give me the gun, lead me to the field, show me the enemy. "Old Glory was about my form when the I am from darkness to light, and I will protect it in acknowledgment of the great applause. Dr. Frissell on Hampton Principal Frissell, who was bracketed in Col. Simmons' speech with Cravath and Armstrong, was given a tremendously warm reception. The principal of the world's greatest school said in part: "I am very grateful to you who have gathered here, and I realize, as Dr. Stone said, that this Greater Hampton Movement is a movement for helping the south only, but of the whole nation in the working out of a great problem. "We have not come here merely for the sake of raising money, although that is an important part of our work, but to deliver the message of the Negro, as we have done so many times, we have come not only to the white race, but to the black race. We have come to bring inspiration and help. If we came merely for money the country might properly criticise us for the expense which we had; but if we come be more faithful to deliver, then I think the message is justified. As Dr. Simmons has said, there are more Christian blacks and Christian whites than is to be found anywhere else on the earth's surface, and here is to be solved the question, with different ancestry, are to work in harmony and be helpful. "That is Hampton's problem. I always like to bring a little of the Hampton atmosphere to the north. There is something beautiful about it. I like to think of that very spot where the school is situated. It is sacred ground. We look out at a place where the battle armor and Monitor was fought and we are standing by year by year the soldiers who are to fight through the long years to come the battles of ignorance and shiftlessness. "There comes to us tonight this representative from Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington. I don't need to tell you the story of his life. Sleeping at Richmond under the sidewalks, struggling into school and then down to Tuskegee. There is ample testimony to the wonderful work which that sleeping warrior has done. No man has meant as much in the south as Booker T. Washington. The south is able to produce three time periods of produce, because of the longer sun. Hampton sent out 10,000 who are to be the agricultural and industrial leaders, and we come to you tonight for help." Following the addresses Mr. J. A. Whiting made a fine report of the work done for Hampton, and outlined the plans for the future. Dean Mathews then put a motion to open a campaign for $100,000 in Chicago for Hampton. The famous Hampton Quartette sang many selections and received encore after encore. All speakers were white except Hon. Simmons. WHAT A CHICAGO HAS TO SAY THE CHICAGO The Chicago Evening Post 12 South Market Telephone, P. New York Office Entered as Second Class Postoffice at Chicago March 3, 18 TWENTY-EIGHT YEAR. WHAT A CHICAGO PAPER HAS TO SAY OF HAMPTON HAMPTON'S KEY TO THE SOUTH'S RESOURCES. There are probably a number of Chicagoans who are asking why in the midst of all this organization for war they should be assailed with "the Greater Hampton movement." There is a mighty good reason for it. The Hampton Institute, at Hampton, Va., the oldest of the schools established by white men to give negroes farming and industrial education, at present possesses the key to the food situation in the South. This key may, in turn, come to fit the lock of the food problem for the world if the war goes on for many years longer. Hampton has trained its negro ambassadors to go out thru the South and teach the negro population how to increase the yield of their fields. It is the negro who is the laborer in the South. It is thru him that the South must in this world emergency be raised up to increase the productivity of a land which because of its "longer sunshine" ought logically to surpass the agricultural richness of Illinois. "The Greater Hampton movement" which reaches its elimax in this city with the banquet at the Hotel La Salle next Monday night, should receive the serious and solid support of those who wish to help most powerfully and directly the movement to increase the food production of the world. Cleveland has assumed the task of buying new land for doubling Hampton's facilities turning out farm missionaries thru the Could not Chicago should the job of raise money necessary to equip that new land harms or other buildings necessary to its use?
