Dr. Moton and the quartette were made by Mr. Simmons, and the financial response was unusually large. WHO WILL BE NAMED SPECIAL TO THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Hampton, Va. Aug. 17.—Who will be the big question, now? Is the body now known, nor will anybody until the scattered board of trustees Mr. George Phoenix is acting principal, and will continue in that capacity or the present. He was vice principal. But for his advanced years and apparently weakened physical condition Chaplain H. B. Turner would be the logical successor. Thomas Jesse Jones is mentioned. The Department of Education is mentioned. If Major Moton had not already been elected, Thomas Tuskegee there would be great embarrassment letting any body over him. The only chance to elect a Race man would be through the University. Is it, whoever is elected will certainly bear his stamp of approval. Both the faculty and alumni of Hamplyn, confidence in the board of trustees, former President Taft is chairman.

Young Woman Succumbs to Injuries Very Latest News CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE SLAYER OF GOTHAM POLICEMAN CAPTURED New York, Aug. 17.—The mystery surrounding the murder of Policeman Robert H. Holmes last week on W. 138th street, was cleared up Monday by the finding of a lost hat. Walter Hill of Stamford, Conn., when shown the hat in the office of Assistant District Attorney John T. Joyce, broke down and con- fessed. In his statement, he said: "It was I who fired the shot which killed Holmes." The only clue the police had to work on after the murder, was a brown soft hat found near the scene after the assassin had made a quick and safe get-away out of Harlem over the Madison avenue bridge. Detectives Conkling, Buckley and Miller and Captain McKenna, with the hat as a clue, started out to locate the owner. He was found out by learning from the store where the hat was first bought that it was sold to a charge customer, Harold T. Avery of 131 Riverside Drive. He said that he had lost the hat while motoring through Stamford, Conn., in April. At Stamford the detectives learned that the hat had been picked up by Edward Fairchild, who also worked in the stable of Robert Anthony, a furniture dealer on Main street. Fairchild sold the hat to Walter Hill, who also worked for Mr. Anthony. Hill denied purchasing the hat, and insisted that he had not been in New York recently, but evidence was secured that he was not in Stamford on the night of the shooting. He denied having any knowledge of the affair until he was brought to New York and confronted with Mr. Avery's hat. He then stated that he had lived with Cora Green in Stamford, but that she had left him after a quarrel three weeks ago. He had learned that she was living in the basement of 69 W. 138th street, and went to the house, where he became angered at the sight of a man, and started shooting at the window. "Afterward, I had a quarrel with a policeman," he added. Miss Arlean McCracken, aged 23, daughter of Rev, and Mrs.-N. J.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER (Continued from page 1) The St. Louis bands also will be much in evidence. Many Decorations Early this week the decorators got busy on the streets running from the Pythian Temple on Pine street, where the sessions will be held, to the camp grounds. Pine is a cool, sandy place with decorations interspersed with large Pythian and American flags, and the thoroughfare is illuminated as bright as day with a shadeade. In the front of the entrance of the camp, which is known as Camp General E. B. F. Johnson, is a large arch according welcome to all visitors and friends. A car lead tent and other encampment facilities are in the grounds early in week and placed in order under the supervision of Brigadier General Wm. H. Butler. Members of the uniform department are going to for several days getting things in shape, and as the early arrivals reach the grounds, they have nothing to do but make use of the accommodations which are as near the retreat as it is possible to make them. The Week's Program Go Into Camp Early Wednesday General Jackson of Chicago and General Fowler arrived in the city and joined many of St. Louis' uniform men in camp. General Butler went into camp the same day. They evidently want to become accustomed to the place before the men of the ranks arrive. The camp site could be convenient to the sessions of both lodge and the supreme court of Calanthe. Many of the brothers will attend both these conventions. In addition to this, at the week's festivities the officers of the lodge and the supreme court of the city, that there is no doubt but that it will be in easy walking distance for the many thousands of visitors who are expected, the large business, and fraternity life of St. Louis is within hauling distance of Camp General E. B. F. Johnson. St. Louis Companies in Camp Under general order No. 5 the brigade staff, resimental staff, the band and companies A. B. C. D. F and troop A first cavalry of the first regiment of Missouri meet at their armory, August 18, at 4 o'clock, and tomorrow, August 18, at 4 o'clock, and on the morning. E. B. F. Johnson for military duty. The second regiment and band of Kansas City under the command of the brigade will arrive over the Missouri Pacific morning. The brigade headquarters of Missouri were established at the camp grounds Wednesday and two men from each of the St. Louis companies were present to each over the property which will be used by the visitors all next week. Parades Will Feature A Proposal of Peace The grand lodge of Missouri is out with a circular proposing peace in the Virginia case. It is not known how far the peace advocates will go and. as that part of it is a fraternal mutual as not my intention to speculate as has been hanging in some of the cases and will occupy some of the attention of the supreme lodge; friends of the order and the excellent gentleman in charge; see the thing amicably adjusted without further ailing in the courts. The expense attached to the matter is contained this year. The signers to the circular which the grand lodge has issued are, A. W. Lloyd, grand chancelor, A. W. Lloyd, grand f. Gordon, and C. K. Robinson, supreme representative from Missouri. Chicago to Get Reception The Chicago delegation is expected in the city Sunday morning over the Alton" about 7 a.m., and the St. Louis team will be in out force, headed by a band to "show" them as only Missourians can show them, how free the hospitality of the city is at all times. Captain John C. Mills will be great big smile, and Colonial Charley Mills will be on hand with courtesies for all the Sir Knights and so will it be all down the line. Chicago occupies all of St. Louis, not because of all St. Louisans, not because of Chicago, but because of the friendly rivalry between the two cities. Officers Will Probably Be Re-Elected Unanimously So far as there are any surface indications, the officers of the supreme lodge, succeed themselves, when they come together, when they meet another two years. It is recognized by the fraternity that it would be a very difficult matter to make any imputation of the staff. I have been unable to unearth any indication of any aspirant for a place who would have a possible chance of success. The incumbents are all worthy of the utmost confidence of the members of the order and have given general sat- Ladies Doing Their Share The supreme court of Calanthe will depend to a large extent on the work of the court ladies of this city. They will be given much credit for their work and enthusiasm as the men. Their committee meets every Wednesday night and many of the court's members, which are made up of boys and girls. Press Given Every Courtesy The Defender has the assurance that the court will have every courtesy during the convention, with the information bureau, there will be room for the representatives of the press, and probably, the papers have representatives here, will be given a place where there is room enough to keep them on sale so the Sr. Knights may read and see themselves, this must be given to the general committee, and next week the Defender will carry the story as it is known to the happenings on the field, at Camp Robinson and around the Python Temple.

They did well, and the comedian was a hit all through the act. Jinks and Allen, a male and female rube team, were clever in the extreme and had the house in an uproar with their characterizations; their makeup was as clever as their chatter. Ed and Jack Smith, a pair of the best soft shoe dancers that ever rattled a Douglas on the Grand boards, shuffled their way into a deal of popularity, aided and abetted by some fair singing and new talk. The first half of the present week has a wide variety, opening with a clever team of bar artists and posers, who work in sailor uniforms and who present many things out of the ordinary. Howe and Howe, a pair of clever acrobatic dancers, did well and took several real nods at their finish, and the Columbia Four, an Ofay quartet, put their stuff over in the most approved fashion. Billy King and company put on a real drama, called The Strife, and it was full of thrills, action and these situations. It dealt with labor conditions and capital, with a little love story, with a little comedy and a lot of villain rumbling through it.

"Ralding a Cabaret" was the title of a screaming farce put on by Billy King and his incomparables the last half of the past week. It was novel, speedy and entertaining, and there wasn't a duo beginning to end. The setting exhibited the well known cabaret interior with everything that goes with it. The entertainment and dialogue were goo-merly until a copper showed up at the back door. Table cloths were then raised and hanging from the edge M. of each table was a Sunday school motto, and Billy King, who was enacting the part of the waiter, transformed himself into a minister and continued exhortations during the stay of the minion of the law, who later went away satisfied. The piece was written around the team of Gates and Davis, who did their act, which was more than half deceased the singing and dancing of Gates on the comedy and playing of Davis on the saxophone far above the average. There were several song numbers put over by the company, chief among which were "The Cabaret Glide," Gertrude Saunders and company; "Luella Lee," by Everett Butler; "Martini Cocktail" by India Allen and chorus; "Good Bye," by Ernest Whitman, and "Oversteer's Jass Dance," by Georgia Kelly and All Recognized Acts, Strong Singles, Teams and Stock Companies, Write or Wire— ADDITIONAL STAGE NEWS WILL BE FOUND ON PAGE 5 dramatic ability and he made the most of it, his work standing out. The characters of Bill Anthony, union man, as played by Leon Rooks; Charles Henry, Mechanic, by Ernest Whitman; Mother Grundy, by Margaret Jackson; Nellie Anthony, by Gertrude Saunders, and Maud Sifton, adventures, by Bessie Brown, were all splendidly done. Billy King as Pete, the all-around man, was the usual scream at every performance, and taking it one side and down, the other, it proved to be good play, will acted and well liked. One song was played during the course of the play, "The World Will Be Jealous of Me," by Everett Butler, and it was given a real mitt. AT THE MONOGRAM The Drake-Walker company, booked as the Bombay Girls, is the attraction this week; it is a company of seventeen talented people and they are qualified, as a whole, for the high praises which preceded them here. Indeed, there never has been a company seen here which has such a diversified lot of talent. They are offering the big thing. in entertainment today, a musical and song review, and the manner in which number after number is done is a revelation. Drake and Bafley are the two principal comedians, and they had everyone with them on Monday night. The work of Russell Lee, doing straight, is way above the average. Ethel Walker is a real soubrette with plenty of class and pep, and Willie Hampton, the prima donna, simply has no voice that she knows how to say. The company captures their own jazz band and orchestra, and give a free concert in front of the theater every evening before the first performance. They will remain two weeks, with complete change of routine next Monday night. AT THE OWL Gates and Gates, one of the best acts in vaudeville, is the feature here this week and the work offered by them is a hit from start to finish; primarily it might be classed as a singing, dances and talking act, but one of the most iconically well-known musical instruments, exciting much hand for his proficiency. It is a good act and went well all through.

THEATERS DRAMATIC MOVIES NEWS MUSIC SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1917 THEATERS EVELYN NESBIT AND HER SON RUSSELL THAW "Redemption," a feature film, is quite apt to crown the theatrical career of Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw. It is so quickly recognized as the best thing she has ever done upon the stage or screen, as Nesbitt has applauded herself the way she herself pictures adaptation, which comes to the popular States theater for a run of three, beginning Friday and running Sunday and Monday, Aug. 18, 19 and 20. The value of the Nesbitt name will be enhanced by it, and that valuable possibility must be accredited to Julius C. Moore, who wrote the story, scenared it, directed it, directed a bit, and played a supporting company around the star that lends brilliance to the film throughout. In "Redemption," Steger has created an entirely new situation, and, as far as is known, one of the actors in play-writing—that of a mother force to confess to her grown son a missiest of her youth. It happens toward pulsation is fast and direct from the heart, "Redemption," by and with Evelyn Nesbitt, is continually suggesting it may be in part, at least, of her life's history. The picture opens with Mrs. Loring (Miss Nesbit) happily married, her husband having been informed of her earlier encounter with John the Loring home is a little son (Russell Thaw). This boy is very prominent in the first few reels, proving his courage in no mean directions and thoroughly tunes his work, which includes the drilling of a kidlet squand no older than himself. Brooks re-enters the Nesbit life. He causes his arrest for annoyance. Although no complaint, it leaks out through a newspaper story of the police station proceedings, and eventually causes the brothers, also Mr. Loring, who left his apartment, the widow works at anything for Male to support herself and son, finally establishing very profitable business, passes. The son grows up and Mrs. Loring ages, as does Mr. Brooks, who now surrounded by his two children. The Brooks boys are chums, studying chemistry in the same laboratory. Young Loring is engaged to wad Miss Brooks and the children of his daughter's faise, in forbids him, past, having assumed the name of Drake). When Brooks Sr. learns who the father of his daughter's faise is, and breaks up the happy party. The children demand an explanation. He suggests the reason young Loring Brooks, with a cruelty unsurpassable even in pictures, tells him to obtain the information from his mother. The children tell his mother she can do nothing and confess the truth, pleading her love and devotion to her son as her redemption. He remembers the day he was born since his babyhood. Young Loring later saves young Brooks from certain death, leading to a family reunion and these years, the olders followed the example of their children, with Brooks redeeming the woman he ruined as a child, and redeeming herself. It is a gripping, heart-finding story. Don't miss it.

Somewhere in France Windshield Jackson Sends Another Letter to the Roll Top Desk Somewhere in France, July 1, 1817. Dear General Tony. It has been some time since I started my last letter to you, for the first time I was told to work on raids on the German trenches and I can truthfully say that I have been ever since then getting myself back in the war and I am going to the other place at the near-a-week age and made a march of nine miles, now occupying a set of new trenches within a mile of the German station under the line of the line of nothing but strip of forests keeps us from seeing them with our own eyes. Our trenches are once more the center ground, over which an in-law is in the public life. The land and night, our artillery, light and heavy is situated about two miles to the rear of us and we have received work on three-and-a-hour days, as we will be enforced by division of 20,000 men and an attempt will be made to drive the enemy out of their present position across the Ypres river, and we will be so far from the�-a-hour successful we will be credited with a fourteen mile gain counting what we have already done. This life in the trend is the different from a fellow would expect when I tell you that in some places they have three and four stories down, I am not exaggerating one bit I am writing about the one that is the first under ground; the trenches are built zig-zag for the purpose of minimizing the terrible tearing effect of exploding new hills. The men could be a regular and while the hill of face is at all shaved one, what we get is good and wholesome. Tomatto and I are still bunkies and we heard three days ago that Gray was sent to the town to see him, but had refused to go to the base hospital for treatment; I will try and see him tomorrow and Tomatto says that the new hill is being built for a packet and he would give him a ghet and a book to the new. These Germans which we captured were as sorry a looking lot as you could hope to see in a lifetime, and if anyone tries to see the man, we will see him as a man, but all their hands, as they actually hid in their dugouts and were taken without a semblance of resistance. One of us got a few hours of time during the lightning and friend him in the return but didn't find any arms hidden on him; I motioned for him to lie down in the ground as we were there for a group of men, as we fast as we could dig them out of their trenches. Well, he laid right down, alright, but I had no going to feel when he heard a shot from the men, and a celler, a sling by in a manner that made me back my out in a hurry; I gave the whole one over and blamed it when he had seen the man over the corner. This time his position on the ground. This time he had done a little better, as I heard a cry of pain and saw one of the Le-man's mules that he had been so long as to be in the glee. That settled the gezer, as far as I was concerned or anyone else, for that matter; it seemed like a shame to be made man to be on the ground, but made a quick foot it, it is. There was a peculiar thing happened the morning after he said: we had such a good time to see him. We had such a thorough manner that I would have but my eyebrows that no living being could have remained concealed. We were many boxed and back of capped goods and coffee; I poked the end of my gun barrel into a crevice between the bags and the�, and the other some of the books, in the light of the which means, in good German, that I'll be about all. Well, that was about all, but I had no idea that it takes to do so. I had a strong standing in front of me with their fingers pointing directly north, and among them was a ranking officer with the head of the group. The captain is in command of our sector told me that he would see that I get a "special mention" on this, and it sure does not be when he shocks my hands after I was left, but who is "charmed circle." Both Tomatto and I took a fine toll for every knock and bump we got during the big night and the first time we were in the town, and I was very much in the French, which I then did the same remark goes for every member in this section of the Legion.

Phyllis·Wheatley Benefit Ball Game Huge Success By the Girl Reporter The benefit baseball game for the Babe Ruth home was too good success in the home the team was too good success in the baseball game was more than good and the fans as well as the ladies (many of whom did not understand that they were more than able to see the American Giants win) final score was 7 to 0. Redding, the star pitcher of Mr. Foster's club, twirled against String Bean Williams men couldn't beat at least that is what the sporting editor told me was the trouble. Anyway the way those Giants slammed the ball and ran around the tag was used to do when we played out of the visiting men. Mr. Taylor was kind, for he didn't say much, only smiled and said nothing. Lots of managers would have gotten it, but Mr. Taylor game didn't amount to half as much as the proceeds and they were good. Young girls in their teens sold all kinds of goodies, and there were prods, toys, and games. Porter, who had charge of the arrangements, worked hard, as did her corps of assistants. Mrs. Macon, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Johnson, assisted in the box office selling tickets. STOP!

"Being a true sister to all womankind she promised to pray and consider her position to others," said fact that the Easter Lily doors were closed against them, probably for all time, and being unable to say 'No' to those appealing to her, on The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. MRS. EMMA SMITH President and Founder of the Woman's Mayflower Club April 19, 1916, she summoned a few women, not men, together at her home to discuss and pray over the proposition—all at once, as if inspired by the Holy Ghost—she sprang to her feet and said: "We'll organize and save the balance of our women." When and there she was made president, or captain, and, thus was the launch of the woman's Mayflower Club—named from the stoning, sturdy ship which janded the Pilgrims safely on American soil after many weeks on the bolsterous ocean. "We began with nine members and as many dollars. Unlike the good old Mayflower of Prilgrim days, which did not stop until it reached its journeys end—all of its officers being men our ship's names from stem to stem by women. We pull into port the first and third Mondays of each month and take on new passengers. "After one year's sailing, we have enrolled 343 members, paid $242 for sick dues and have to our credit sick dues and have to our credit Unfortunately, three of our sisters were away within the first ten months. But we are God's work. The Woman's Mayflower Club not only takes care of its sick and buries its dead, but it teaches us to be broader, kinder and forgiving in lengths and actions toward each other and all that about us. We realize that our paths will not always be strewn with roses, but let us practice the precepts of Christ when fallen Mary bated His hair. He baked and dried them with her hair. He baked and dried them, because she had sinned—billed her up, encouraged her and told her to sin no more. "We are taught by this to take every sister by the hand and help to make the paths bright by our acts of kindness and our burds of kindness, remembering the words, Savior: 'Love ye one another as I love you.' Women will do this? "In conclusion. We cannot permit this first anniversary to pass without a direct expression of our esteem and appreciation of our great organizer and leader of this club. "Worthy leader, the name of your friends is legion. It gives me intense pleasure to participate in doing good so admirable an officer, so good a man so noble and a lady; one who has so just elevated herself in the opinions and good wishes of all who know her. "Worthy captain, I could talk a long hour concerning you and your virtues you do not wish so much to address you as a leader, but as our highly esteemed friend, we have very much tried friend; for, often have we tried your temper and forbearance? While my few remarks have no intrinsic value, yet, an expression of love, gratitude and respect affords the whole. We have now but to whisper to our evident health, happiness and prosperity, and as it pleases the All Just and Bountiful Creator to spare your useful life."

"It was a pitcher's battle and was a big league game with all that goes in there," he said, adding for dessert. Tom Williams of Morris Brown university fame was on the mound for Rube, and Padron worked for the Cubans. Williams had the best argument holding the slugging island in the game of which was a home run by Guerra. This lad could have been caught at the plate had the relay from Hill to Lloyd to Dixon went straight, but it was a hard one. The Padron had to pass first base and one of the four to reach there. One man arrived on a pass and the other on Grant's error in the ninth. The Giants scored all of their points in a frame. A couple of desperate tries were nicked by perfect throw by Baro. Williams had everything on the ball that could be put on it, curve, drop, spike fast, floater and some we didn't know. The Padron doubled plays and after it was all over the crowd went home to supper as the man outside yelled, "double jointed, knock-kneed, jumbo peanuts?" and threatened weather keeping down. Jiminez rolled to Francis and was thrown out at first; Baro was out to second and was thrown over second for a single and Rodriélquez fanned. Giants: Barber filed to hit and run play Hill singled to on hit and run play Hill singled to on hit and DeMoss pulled up at third; Lloyd A singled to left and DeMoss scored. The ball was sent to the ranch, walked, forcing in what would be the winning run. Grant skied to and Lloyd was out a mile at the plaza. Williams Doubles Second inning - Campos fanned; Lloyd out on strikes. Giants; Portuguese out on strikes. JOE GANS A WINNER Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 17—Well, Gans did the trick again at the Phoebe's game. He gave away 20 pounds to Hock Bone one of the cleverest light heavies in the country. Joo Gans boat Hock the eight round route. Hock did not live to see the weighed 130, Hock 150 R. S. It was one of the largest houses that has a good match, as when time to see a bill you can look for a good house, as he is one of the best drawing cards on Lou Goldman, who is managing Gans, thinks that he is the best light-weight in the world and is ready to that the judgment wants to put up (and that goes). --- REFUSED TO FIGHT JOHNSON *NY* *NYC* The lightweight from Philadelphia fused to go on with his bout with Leo Cunningham and Bushy Graham went on in his pain.

Aug. 17—William Smith, at the Eighth and Jefferson high schools, wanted to go to war, that he was a militia member of the gospel and that, combined with a army arm, ought to exempt him. When he asked, he refused to tell. He said that his right arm could not be lifted above the level shoulder, because of a shot wound. He asked the doctor, convinced that the man was not telling the truth, grasped the man's hand, raised the man's hand, proving that the effective "arm was as good as the other." WANTED TO BE SHOW GIRLS Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 17—Chief Donnygham brought in court on Wednesday to prove his innocence in guerta Scott of Burnham, Pa., who said they ran away from home to seek employment in theancers with "Leon Washburne's Mighty Mammals" that some other girls had told them about.

COURTING DISSENSION WHERE, IF NOT AT THE SEAT of our government, may citizens look for the upholding of the laws and provisions stipulated in the constitution of the United States? That the basic laws upon which this country is supposed to rest are ruthlessly broken is an undisputable fact. It is the boast that this is a FREE land; that every man, woman and child, of whatever race, creed or color, has an even break with every other man, woman and child—but do they? Theory is one thing—practice another. There is no gainsaying the fact that the laws, as written on our statute books, are as near just and perfect as man can make them, and if carried out to the letter, would make this an ideal government. That word "free," which crops up so often, seems to entitle, not only the riff-raff element among us, but our highest officials, to put their own construction of the laws into effect, with the result that, instead of our having a democracy, we have an oligarchy When mob rule takes the place of law and order, when our officials, who are sworn to uphold the constitution of these United States, permit themselves for party reasons—or through prejudice—to be false to their trust, it is high time for those who do stand for right and justice to swing the political ax and relegate these misfits into the "has been" class. Here we are making more noise and fuss about the injustice done Belgium, for instance, than all of the other Allies put together. We squeel like a stuck pig about the treatment accorded the Armenians by the Turks. Whenever and wherever man, bird or beast is mistreated—OUTSIDE OF OUR OWN COUNTRY—our voice goes up in protest and our money flows to alleviate the suffering—provided enough publicity is given our donations. The status of our people in this country is very much below par; our stock slumped materially when the present administration went into power. The Democratic party has not only proven itself to be our bitterest enemy, but slumbering in the breast of those who fought the losing cause and rising to the surface every now and then, is that feeling of hatred for the northern white man and the laws that he made. From these people who are now "in the saddle" at Washington what can be expected? "To the victor belongs the spoils," is an adage they are carrying out to the letter. The north is feebly protesting; the south needs not the protests but goes merrily on, changing order into chaos, much as a bull would upset a china shop. This condition of affairs will last only till the white north, augmented by the black south and north, again rise in their might, let us hope, politically, and send these despoilers back into oblivion. No bird flies so high but what it is compelled to come down to coost. The votes of the people will again be sought by many who have used a public office for private gain, and when the votes are counted they will find themselves outside the pale of public approval. Bringing the matter right home to our own door, it can safely be said, that never in the history of this country have so many indignities been heaped upon our people as during the present administration, and when a reason for this condition is sought, it is discovered that the south is in the saddle and riding the government horse at a pace that appears to spell dissension again between the two sections of this country. We are playing the part of the under-dog, as usual. Whether "Jim Crowism" and segregation come as an official order, with the seal and signature of a high official affixed, or is simply handed on by word of mouth, matters little, as the result is the same in both cases. An expert at solving riddles would be stumped to fathom out why at this particular time, when the country sorely needs every loyal citizen, one-tenth of the population is insulted and made to feel that they are less than parasites, when in reality they are the backbone and sinew of America's industrial world. Is it because we are forging ahead too fast in every line of endeavor, and by so doing are showing up the defects of the superior (?) race? Leaving our own welfare out of the question is it better for this country to have in its midst twelve million ignorant people or twelve million intelligent people? Have we greater brain power than the white man that he fears if given the same opportunity he will suffer by comparison? This must be the thought, and taking it for granted, we thank them for the inference. As well try to stop the wind from blowing, the water from running down hill, or the sun from shining, as to attempt to stop our progress by such bungling methods. None are so blind as those who will not see. WHITE FRONT BOOMING The White Front cafe, 1145 S. State street, just ten minutes' ride from 131st and State streets, is booming.

Grand Lodge of the Odd Fellows is visiting relatives in Fort Wayne. Joseph Hoffman and grandson Clarence are visiting the former's son, Irvin Egger of Paducah, Ky. is visiting her sister, Mrs. Cookley of Adams Race men in Illinois are crying aloud, "We are not ashamed of ILLINOIS." Some are saying, "I TOLD YOU SO." But the greatest lesson of all is the fact that our great state has thrown upon the screen, yes, has opened her bosom to the sunlight that the heat rays may heal her wounds, and opened wide her closet doors that the sun may shine therein, thus fumigating the stench that had blown in from the gulf to the southern borders of our state, where 105 were indicted and participated in that damnable Race on St. Louis. Where would such a thing have been done at the south? Was one man indicted for the murder great? Was the halo on the plate of any o' the Memphis mob hurt? You may answer that question. Yet, the plate in their eagerness to lick white hands of his BOSS, will tell you the south is the 'BEST PLACE FOR the assertion is a threat to kill and stench the south of filth and stench of the south you might have him or her arrested for an attack on your life. No! The SOUTH is no threat that even the railroads rob you of your ticket fares, the black mammies rob your home of its jewels for the lust of your man, the man for the stature of the statue with deficiencies designed to crush YOU and ME still they tell you the south is the place for you. Listen! No place is in the heaven, where the laws are not obeyed. The Defender still insists that what was done in Illinois is a fair example of how the laws, punish the guilty, black or white. So we doff our hats to that jury that indicted twenty-two Race who sixty-four were fresh from the south. So, Mr. Race Man who plays the FOOL for his master, beware. If you don't like the north, go out to your lair, and you of the south who are so deeply in love with it, doft ever come north, for you are not deforming of drawing a free begin in this land of education and knowledge.

Philadelphia, Mepkin The executive board at a hurried up meeting decided at first to hold the meeting at some place in the east as a group of members of the school for their summer vacation, and, after cause excursion rates are easily secured, more so than in any other accession. Therefore Philadelphia was selected as the leading place. The doctors of the National Medical Association know highly that they have been obtained just as early as in the city. The office of the city is only an early to, and they are all willing and ready to attend the meeting in 1917. The office of the city is not a institution was adopted in 1906, and the Philadelphia press took more notice of the meeting, gave more space to the house and discussions of the papers that have been held in the city during the last twenty years. The Philadelphia Leaders went for as far as to say that in many localities the city would not be the local, recla and prejudiced conditions against the Race, the young Race aspirant, for medical knowledge was not to be the south and and seek. The education in the northern cities and that the northern schools were far superior to the southern schools. The city was not to admit members of the Race, that a member of the Race's association, and the non-admittance of the Southern white medical schools, the Racketties, the many instances, was the best educated and the best prepared man to carry on the professional. Many localities, because they have forced the people to be on the other side of the superior northern universities. The question, what is the National Medical Association, has been often asked of us. We had the honor of being present at the birth of the National Medical association in the city of Atlanta, Ga., in December 1972 during the time of the Atlanta session, and just about the time that the immortal Booker T. Washington made his famous Atlanta speech. Among the founders, and especially two, who remained loyal and are ever ready to support this association, were Dr. R. F. Boyd, who went to his final sleep not long ago, and Dr. Green, who still lives and is a faithful and honored member of the association; these two distinguished personages, with others, we well remember, as we were young and then just in our second year of the divine of divine professions. Dr. C. V. Roman's Definition In C. V. Roman's question, what is the National Medical Association we feel our inability to give a better, nay, more, not even as good a definition and a reason for the existence of the National Medical Association so beautifully and classically given by Dr. C. V. Roman, and which adorns the first page of the only journal of the National Medical Association, edited and published exclusively by Dr. Roman's definition is as follows: "Conceived in no spirit of racial extermination, born of the exigencies of American society, the National Medical association has for its object the banding together for mutual cooperation and helpfulness, the men and women in the field, and gaily and honorably engaged in the practice of the cognate professions of medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy." All should attend this meeting. The members of the allied professions, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy will attend this meeting in Philadelphia's throw from Philadelphia and one may easily run down to Atlantic City for a little rest and recreation—many of your old friends face to face. There are to be some very important clinics. Medical, tuberculosis and heart disease, immunology and cancer and also surgical clinics. Men will need to strain their methods and technique in managing certain diseases; others will need to experience in various difficult surgical situations. There will be many very important papers and reports made. The report of the commission on petelebration on petelebration last year was a most important interesting. The report of the commission of public health and statistics of the Negro population was an interesting. Then, too, you owe it to you and to yourself to attend these meetings and at the same time take a vavilion and give you ideas—you will get rid of old ideas—you will out of certain ruts—you will get a different 'lewpoint' of the practice of medicine and above all you will get more "poor" patients to be more happy in your field of work. The doctors of Atlantic City will entitle themselves to members of the National Medical association two days at Atlantic City. ALONG THE NORTH SHORE
