10 YEAR-OLD GIRL ACCIDENTALLY KILLED BY BROTHER EIGHTH TO GO TO FRANCE INTACT NEW LYNCHING DISGRACES TENNESSEE FAMOUS CHICAGO REGIMENT NOT TO BE SPLIT, AS RUMORED FINAL EDITION Southern Fiends Take Prisoner From the Sheriff and Burn Him Dyersburg, Tenn., Dec. 7.—Tennessee has again disgraced itself, right at the time when President Wilson is pleading for all Americans to rise up as one, crush a foreign foe, and make this world safe for democracy—this time a mob made up not only of men but of women who a few months hence must give to this world offspring that are forever cursed with the mark of Sunday's southern holiday. The entire personnel of the mob is known, as none was masked. Not in the barbarous days of Belgium's rule in Africa nor in the days of the half-civilized people who lived thousands of years before Christ had such barbarism been witnessed. A hear of charred ashes and bones, lying in a vacant lot joining the public square, gives evidence of the horrible murder by 8,000 known persons. Eight thousand to one, and yet the call for volunteers goes unanswered by these brave southern white gentlemen (?)?! Lation Scott was asked to confess, but he was so weak that he could murmur only a few words denying the crime. The crowd, fresh from the pews of Sunday morning worship, helped burn one human being as an amusement, and the deed outdid the gory vendetta of Cathorra! Every move was cut and died. The officers who were sent for Scott were surrounded and the prisoner was given over to the mob willingly. Upon his arrest, charged with an attack on a white woman in Oakfield, Madison county, Saturday night, the populace of this city, with all their education and refinement, were notified that two deputies were on their way to Dyersburg and would pass along a certain route. where a widow and one child survive. Between $400 and $100 was urged toward the reward for the Negro captain when hats were passed around during the execution. A reward of $600 had been offered. But the mob and spectators oversubversed. The reward goes to the section foreman. The execution was carried out without a hitch. The utmost good order captured when hats were passed around. When Dyersburg awoke Sunday morning the community seemed to read the handwriting on the wall. News of Scott's arrest had Bound to an iron post by the most savage fiends in existence on the face the globe or even in the depths of the ocean, they mounted while men heated poles and soothing irons until they were white with heat and were as fiery as the flames that heated them. Scott lay flat on his face and he held the red streak on the Children on the outskirts of the mob played merrily on and their voices could be heard above the hubbub of the mob. With red streak shot out and the burden began to bore the prisoner's eyes. Scott moaned. The polkers were worked like an auger, that is, they wore twisted round and round. They animated the atmosphere, a pungent, slickening odor telling those who failed to get good vantage points that their eyes could not see. Smoothing irons were not seen. Smoothing irons were swish. Once, twice, three times a red-hot iron dug gaping places in Laton Scott's back and sides. "Fetch a hotter one," somebody said. The execution went on. Now someone and another poker- tabbing its fiery joint into the riba of the downed black. Their publish was piled high about e agonized body, squirming beneath its load. Modern Civilization Someone struck the match—they say the husband of the assaulted woman applied into the smoke舱. The crew gathered momentum, engulfing the body. The fire seemed to groan, but it was Laton Scott. More wood and publish work fed the fire, but at 3 o'clock Laton Scott was not dead. Life finally fled at 4 o'clock. The executioners departed, leaving only the mourners in the making, hastened home. Children, who had carried on the way home from Sunday school, sucried away. Dyer's team was satisfied. And today Dyer'sburgh pursues the even tenor of its way. "It is a lesson." they argue. "He confessed, and we gave him trial by jury." Scott committed the crime Nov. 22. He assaulted the wife of the husband for whom he had made a crop. The woman had been seriously injured. Possess immediately formed and for three days a relentless search was under way. Saturday Scott applied to a section foreman on the B. & N. W. for work, near Gatesborough. He had enough men, but as Scott left the foreman recognized in him a man of the description of Scott. He arrested him and informed Sheriff Perry of Madison county. Sheriff Perry informed Sheriff Perry morning. Deputies Coper Putsell and Pard Finley were sent for the Negro. They were instructed to be on the alert for a mob and take Scott to Trenton. The deputies were in an automobile and speeding through the Trimble bottoms, when men guided sprang from every side of the road. So the deputies gave up the prisoner. The people of Dyersburg were notified by telephone at once. The whole county seemed to know. Dyersburg was quickly filled. One pastor, during the course of his Sunday morning sermon, remarked that he was glad to see so many women present, "but I wonder why the mob reached here about 1 o'clock with the man. Scott was stripped. The iron post, chains, smoothing irons and pokers had been provided before the mob rescued him. The mob lay down on the ground submitted to being chained to the next 2.2.1 Scott is alleged to have committed a similar offense at an unlicensed, savvy government office. He preacher and associated with church people. He resided at Unilowne, Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY where a widow and one child survive. Between $400 and $500 was contributed to the execution. The reward capture when hats were passed around during the execution. A reward of $200 had been offered, but the mob and the ransom subscribed. The reward goes to the secret. The execution was carried out without a hitch. The utmost good order prevailled when the byersburg awake morning to the morning call seemed to read the handwriting on the wall. News of Scott's arrest had traveled rapidly, and though at that time the plans were not known, preparations were made for sons from adjoining counties had time to reach here before the execution. Farmers and their families drove in on buses, buggies and automobiles. Intuitive crowds gathered in the public square. None Wore Masks Not a domino hid a face. Everyone was unmasked. Leaders were designated and assisted their parts. Long lines of people, the public square was choked with humanity. All waited patiently. Women with babies, made themselves comfortable. The telephone message announced the taking of the body of the officers came, the crowd quickened. Many went out to meet the mob and escorted it into the city. Huge piles of wood had been made ready. The crowd entered the city at high noon—a clock time at high cities were dispensed with following the confession. A number of leading citizens had previously determined to have a trial by jury, but the Negro blood guilt as soon as he was arraigned. Women scarcely changed countenance as Scott's back was ironed with the hot brands. Even the executioner determined their poise in the face of bloody creases to be by the irons—irons which some housewife has been using. Three and a half hours were required to complete the execution. Scald and a Sunday an undertaker shoved up the ashes and the bones and buried them. HOME DESTROYED M. Carmel, Teem. Dec. 7.-Saturday night fire destroyed the house and unishings of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Rice. No fire the fire has yet been ascertained. MAKING MISTAKES "To err is human, to forge divine." What a wonderful old world this would be if we were all perfect, if no one had been wrong, if no one affected them, but oftimes innocent people. Newspapers are just a great big human machine, with its hand on the public pulse constantly noting the changes in the national state of things, and recording it black and white, so others may read and profit by the experience, whether it be good or evil. It is a newspaper, first of all, is to give its readers fresh, crisp news on every daily topic of interest. Sometimes that topic deals with the upflush of man, woman or child, someone is to give it to a reader of one or more human beings. It is like it is news, it is what the people want, what they buy a paper for. To know what to print and what not to print is to know what to read, and as keen as he may be, sometimes an overzealous reporter slips in a story that should find no place in a first-class newspaper. It is one of those stories that every human being is heir to. Such a mistake erupt into our columns last week, concerning the escapades of two young people, one of whom was credited as being a member of Bethel E. Church, so the aforesaid overzealousness of the fancy touches, announced to the world in big headlines, "Scandal Rocks Pillars of Bethel A. M. E. Church," a headline that was as foreign to the subject as anything possibly could be. But it slipped by and was out on the paper noticed it and called the doctor's attention to it. There was nothing to be done but what we are now doing, acknowledging, our mistake and assuring Bethel church, as well as every other uplift institution, that the policy of the Chicago Defender is concerning the working force on this, like all other newspapers, is human and likely to er CHICAGO, DECEMBER 8, 1917.

Mrs. Nanette Howe of 99 Eastern avenue and Mrs. Annie West, 114 West State Street, both of which discrimination suit against the S. Kresge 5 and 10c store. Atty. Henry A. Booth was counsel for plaintiffs and Lecummings & Leary, counsel for defense. The plaintiffs allowed that on June 16, 1916, and on the following day they were refused service at the company's soda fountain because of their color. They also stated that they waited from 5 minutes and the clerks repeatedly "banana royals," remarking that it was getting "cloudy" and might "rain" and making other sarcastic remarks. One white woman said that it served the people right; that was the way they treated downstairs. Attorney Leary attempted to show that the defendants did not discriminate against Colored people and that the store was crowded both days; also, the rules to serve customers standing. The case was argued before Judge Calahan in Superior court Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning, the day brought the real void awarding plaintiff 425 to the court on one count. The maximum sum under the "anti-discrimination" act is $300 on one count. Attorney Booth stated that the plaintiff not required after the money, but after furtherjudgment, dissatisfied with the amount received. The defendants will appeal to the Supreme court. Attorney Calahan made it plain that discrimination or account of race, creed or color would not be tolerated in any public place in this city or state.

Simmons Makes Address to Teachers Jewish Rabbi Dismisses Congregation That They May Hear Great Orator Jewish Rabbi Dismisses Congregation That They May Hear Great Orator (Special to the Defender) Owensboro, Ky., Dec. 7.—The annual session of the teachers' convention held here last week collapsed previous meetings in spirit and enthusiasm. The star teacher was Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who delivered the annual address before a large audience made up of both races Friday night. He is the third time the great orator has spoken here in five months. Each time a record house received him, his speech on "The Teacher" was an oratory gem. He took Booker T. Washington and built a story that captivated the audience. He made an appeal to the white people for education for his people that brought a storm of applause. Among other things, he said: "The witchery of the school room has been published by the sword. War has opened the mind among the regulations of halls of research. They have been gathered from the past, and they are such as do not spare the rod. "Art is prostrate before the hour, the grandest in all time, and science is never being taught in the regulations of halls of research. They have been gathered from the past, and a straight line is still the shortest distance between two points, but these are rules for mouths of babies and not for men. "Sterner lessons we must learn; nor can we learn without them, for patience has unriven her golden chains and let loose the dogs of war." The Present Schoolroom "Where is the schoolroom of the hour? Yonder on the red fields of weeping France and among the hills and valleys of penitent Belgium; yonder upon the bounding main whose veins were to distant ports the flower of America. "Close the geography as prepared by scholars and follow the lines of that trod by the demons who answer to the name of Hun, and see the tracks of the heroes of Joffre who prayed heavens, witness that they did hold the Marne." A Modern Belshazzar "Tear up the pages of philosophies that have beguiled our days and fed the mind upon principles sugared with empty fancies of human wisdom. The mind is the heart of being written by the world hand of unrelenting fate, tracing in letters like those which only Banel understood. The king of the Huns is Belshazzar, and the outraged civilization of the Persian king has his gate and the Persian on his throne. "What influence has created in the German empire that spirit that defies the world? What makes the German empire a nation of awe-inspiring conquests, a nation of greatness and his teachings have molded and shaped that land. Her compactness is explained in the method and meat of construction are the standard of the world. The Great Lesson "I instruct you as American teachers to take down from the dusty walls the records of our illustrious dead, that genius upon which is built the grand-advice man over called home. Draw no line between them and the doors of your rooms, empty already lessons that fashion youths into men. "Blot out for the moment all laws aimed at religion or race—blot them out and wait on time to make the grand rubbing out—and tell the chillin' black and white, that the lesson for today is to air the flag of the onlygovernment of the people the world has ever known. "I Turn to White South" "I turn to the south, to what we have been taught to call the southern white man. To him I say, the nation is calling you to rise and stand in your hands, to be a man of virtue, to every truth and every faith of humanity. Democracy knocks at your door, that turns upon the golden hinges of a pride that is still the wonder of men. She knocks to speak. She would say, "I want to visit the battlefields of the world. I want men to know who I am, and I want to take off this black and wear the white of love and liberty. They say it is you who holds me to your side. I have said, he said it is not true. Arise and answer that henceforward you and I are twins for God and all His children." "It isn't much that man can teach, but there is much that man may learn. At the hands of many I have taken down the book of the Bible, for education. But one hour at the feet of Booker T. Washington, preceptor of my youth and teacher of my days, unfolded more of gold than four squared inches." "Teaching me youth, this man instructed the world. He made his idea the curriculum of a university whose foundation was laid on a Virginia auction block. Education took that idea and made it page one in its catalog." I have been dismissed by its regular service in order to congregate to hear Col. Simmons. The rabbi was the first person in the audience to shake the orator's hand.

Brown, the Assistant Attorney General of this state, who conducted the investigation that led to the death of his son, describing the steps he which the investigator arrived at the conviction that the defendant had not done the deed with which he was charged. Governor McCall's letter continued: I need hardly say to you that a failure to honor a requisition is no new thing, front to a state. Precedents exist in great numbers. Only a short time ago this commonwealth denied a requisition in a less serious case upon somewhat similar grounds, but for reasons less strong than those existing here. In a white man, the defendant happened to be a white man. Leans to the Poor "Justice should not use two scales, but if two measures are employed, then the more lentile measure should be heavier than the rich and weak rather than to the rich and weak, and the man would be tried by white men, but a black man in a case like this would racerily, if ever, see at his trial a member of his own Race upon the bench, among his prosecutors or in the jury box. "It seems proper for me to add that a Governor of Massachusetts who would refuse to apply to the meanest black man in the same rule he had just applied to a white man would represent the commonwealth and would dishonor all the traditions of her glory."

MILLIONAIRE OPENS HOME TO SOLDIERS Nathan Straus, True American, Dined 50 Race Men Thanksgiving Day New York, Dec. 7—The people of this city witnessed a real democratic act when Nathan Straus, millionaire and famous philanthropist, had as his guests at dinner Thanksgiving day fifty soldiers of color. The men were mainly selected from the national entomment at Camp Upton and a few were from the Fifteenth Infantry. Several days ago Mr. Straus received an invitation from the Rexy Monroe Museum to be host as one of the forty tables for lunch each for Thanksgiving dinner. Replying to the invitation, Mr. Straus went in person to the officials of the club and tendered his excuse to the secretive Wall, which read: "Before receive wall, which read: 'Before make up my mind, communicate some of "our boys" in my home on Thanksgiving, and as I suspect that the Colored soldiers and sailors may not be so well remembered for this occasion, I choose them as my preferred guests. I displayed them and patriotism they displayed whenever they may be imperilled entitle them to the highest degree of respect and admiration." Later Mr. Straus addressed the gathering in the dining hall and said, "I felt the Colored men and the same as the white men.

There has been a need to attempt whatever to be sarcastic or to exaggerate; everything is related exactly as it appears. I have been in discrimination so common under the present recine? The commission could not investigate inconvenience and the expense of making such a trip. They knew that I was an applicant for any federal examination and I nish a photograph of himself and in the examination room each applicant is verified by the examiner before he is sent to Washington, both of which the examination paper.

In proportion to the number, the draft call for 217 men compared to that of the other race. However, Adjutant General Sherill is of the opinion that many of these men respond to their call on account of changes in residences, illnesses and possibly other good reasons. The fellow representative revealed the fact that at least one-half of the 217 are foreign-born Negroes, some naturalized, but more than nine of those who were not citizens probably have had been forced into the draft had they answered the call. Others on the list are thought to be dead, while in the other 127 are published known to be that of a man in fall.

REAL HUMAN CREOLE HAIR FOR HAIR THAT WILL STAY STRAIGHT USE PALM CREAM AND PALM OIL The only safe and guaranteed straightener on the market. Clay, Clara, Mr. W, would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now. Had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Curie Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of most today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is 'dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired, by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents.

The big time act of Austin & Bailey, who lately returned from a long trip, to the coast and back were the headliners here the past week. Their work was a most popular one a most popular one all over the principal circuits and proved to be the same during this time. They were a real hit and at their finish were forced to accept many bows each performance. The act was only one of six good ones and the en- tire show above the ordinary Tony Langston The first half of the present week had Defolills & Co. a pair of comedy jugglers, who also introduced some clever tumbling, which went very well. They were followed by Hennings & Lewis, who had a little singing, some good dancing, fair piano work and fine accordion solos. This act is a very versatile one and got by in clever fashion Gordon & Manzeil, a handsome lady, fair ability and a new woman with a real personality, did as well, according to an act, billed as Milandy's Gown's group of four working in special settings representing a high-class gown maker's establishment; the fitting of gowns, as the title would indicate, was the feature of the act, although a little talk and singing served to keep the offering from being monotonous. Hugo Luetgena, a real stump-speakers, put on a Billy Sunday burlesque which was a real hit despite its sacredious tone, and the comedy acrobata, Pipafax & Panlo completed a good bill. The first Time Darkies engagement was set back until Christiaan week Cooper & Robinson are here the last half, Wilson & Wilson the first half of next week and Tabor & Green all of next week.

Johnson & Wells, just back from a trip to the United States, here last last season, were as popular as ever, and The Duke's single handed quadrille stopped proceedings, as usual. There were three Olof acts of class The Dining Car Girl, headed by the two popular comedians, Boutte & Carter, are featured here this week. The have an astonishing fast act; in act 1, they are seen here, under a different management. Boutte & Carter have long been known in the business as among the best of our comedians. There is some singing in the act which adds a touch of authenticity, termed a "hoof" offering, as there is so much and so many different kinds of real dancing done that it would be hard to enumerate them, and "pop" is fine and richer than the comedy, and clean and easy at no expense. Picre Bros, comedy horizontal bar experts, open the bill, and are remarkably clever, Kahn & Gates, which follows, have a claasy singing, talking and dancing center was held by the Five Violin Beauties, well named all three ways, who played single and ensemble in clever style; it is a fine novelty.

Have grown familiar with show folks' faces. 'Til nowadays you long to hear Who on the bill with you'll appear. But old friends, we've got to wait, And eat we all must play the date; And know we an encore can take. Being booked move on God's own slate. All of us knew our friend, String Bean, And what his comedy to a stage did Twas a laugh to the fat, lanky and lean, The preacher, deacon, and the go-between. But the act is over—the curtain seemed. For he's gone to act for his God Supreme; His struggles are over; to all it seemed That he tried to make his last act clear. Lulu Coates & Co. Washington, D. C., Dec. 5. —Lulah Coates and her Crackerjacks, who are attending the face with the Billy Watson Wonder Show, are the attention of the theatergoers here.

Miss Coates is featuring "Mariana," a song written by Jacco Pinkard, known in the west. WAKE UP, BROTHERSI New Castle, Pa. Dec. 7.—Your representative here interviewed a young man who was the place of nativity in the south was Dothan, Ala. He was shown in the Supreme Circle News, published in the town, which commented in a surprised way on the exodus of men of color in the town. This is what the young man said: "The white folks of my home town have tried in every manner possible to close our people from coming north, and at last we have succeeded in making it to another town to get the train, fearing that even an assault would be made to hinder my leaving, and that the folks of color have to stand in the doorway of something awful, and although my parents are still at Dothan, I have made up my mind that they will have to work for me and we are to meet again, and I am working to make class wages and saving them, with the idea of bringing the old folks north when spring time comes. I find that a small group of people in this section, and there is so much satisfaction that account alone that it would be impossible for me to return to the session I came from, even for a temporary stay. The red-necks forever, and would advise all those who are not blind or crippled to take my case as a sample of the progress a move north has made, and the country where they will at least be looked upon as human beings." Correction In the issue of two weeks ago an itemized list appeared of those who contributed both by personal aid and finance to the Clarence Bowen fund, and to the Blochings Bill Robinson was omitted. Blochings Bill Robinson was overlooked, inasmuch as the writer of the report failed to see him at the services; many who aided were out of town and the mistake was a very natural one, despite the protest of the community.

"Woman God Forgot" When the massive sets were built for the production of "Intolerance" it was thought that the last word in the construction of photo-dramatic sets had been the famous producer, who is responsible for the Artwerk production, "The Woman God Forget," in which Geraldine Farrar will be seen at the States week on Saturday of the present week, he gone even that famous set one better. The scenes of "A Woman God Forget" are laid in during the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and Mr. deMille the famous pyramid of Teocall, surrounded by an entire Aztec city. This one set covers an area of over two miles and the pyramid is nearly 200 meters in height. In the stunted construction, owing to the fact that over a thousand men battle up the stairways and inclines to the temples, the pyramid is also complete, the minute detail, the huge sacrificial room being reproduced in the exact size of the room in which the high priest of the Aztec god has his human victims to the Aztec gods. In order to build the pyramid and the city, a force of 300 carpenters and nonexamona were busy nearly two months a day. In the photo-drama they are fighting Spaniards and Aztecs are seen grappling with each other and rolling down the long sloping sides of the edifice, or curled from the top to the ground below. It is a wonderful production. J. A. Mundy Highly Honored Rare Society Musicale James A.

BILLY M'CLAIN The following letter reached the old Roll Top Desk a day or two ago; it came from one of the most famous actors or bygone and it was the time when we could see him playing the days when we had real attractions playing the best houses in the country; at the time he and Ernest Hogan played opposite each other in the best movies and he would not doubt but many of my readers will be glad to peruse the following: Tulsa, Okla., Nov. 27, 1917. Dear Tony: Writing you today to me would appreciate the nice things you had to appreciate the time ago and hope that in the near future I will be able to return the compliment, as I am figuring on starting a paper myself, and it would be great if you could see me. I see where the credit of finding Clarence Boven was given to the Old Kentucky company. I don't want to take any laurels from you along that first but me in Washington, D. C., Black America, along with Boss Russell, John Larkins, George Bundy, the late Sherman Coates, Matt Marshall and Etta Gross, Susie Sutton, Bass Foss, and I would never have seen the lights had it not been for your Uncle Billy. If all the performers would give me a dollar that I have put in the business, that thank God, I am over the firing line and helping others, as you can see by the enclosed clipping. I am having my first boxing contest of the winter on the campus, and I will write for me that if those who have written will write again there may be something doing for them, as the Old Guard will soon have the ball rolling, and here and if I desired to come back, this would make a great place for a try-out. I keep a jazz band around me all the time. I am giving a gigantic performance at Convention hall, the largest in the seat, seating 3,000 people, and the girls are having $100 dresses made, as if they only cost 25 cents. Eagerly awaiting the next Defender, I am, as before. BILLY M'CLAIN. (Writer's Note) The clipping referred to told of the great work Billy has been and has been and uplift of the prize ring in Tulsa. Billy is the same popular idol in Oklahoma in his present line that he was in the old days when he was a star of the show. The late Billy Johnson as a straight man, and that's saying something.) The Mall Wagon Hear ye, my good people: There are letters here for the following performers, and if you will please be kind enough to kick in your present whereabouts the writer will forward them right on, as we don't care how we spend our time. Mr. J. Joy, Ormanian Band, Shelton Brooks, David N. Adams, Charles Burton and James J. Crossby.

THE TRIP All last week the writer spent in Toledo and Detroit, something that he had to do every Thanksgiving. This time he made a trip to Detroit. One of the first reason covers Toledo, the reason the writer made Toledo was because he had to go there in order to cover Detroit. The second reason covers Detroit, the reason Detroit was, this would be the last "wet" Thanksgiving, as Michigan goes dry next spring. The third reason covers that he came away from Detroit; that he had more than his share. When you consider that his stay in Detroit was guided by such past masters in the craft of crooking as his three brothers, John, John and abetted by Arthur Palmer, Johnny Roxborough and Young Sanford, his pal, with John Holly and Babe, in everything should be plain, and himself to Chicago he has soaked up an enormous amount of citrate of magnesium in an attempt to counteract the effect of his treatment applied to him by the above gentry.

Why Photographs Are Necessary As a matter of personal record and in order to safeguard your children's imminent would arise all parents to make a decision to least two photographs of each child or member of the family. Due to the fact that public conditions are becoming more complex and your boy or girl may be injured or mishap, and at some time in crowds for lack of identification, a photograph will be of inestimable value and could be used to a great advantage. Strangers coming to the house may bear some card relative to their identification, and the nearest point to communicate with in case of accident.

AGENTS WANTED FOR 11.7 SECRETARY OF WAR SAYS RACE MEN WILL RECEIVE FAIR PLAY Special to the Defender Washington, Dec. 7—Soma 83,600 men of color have been drafted for service in the National Army to be sent overseas. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in working out his plans for the training of these men, has met with many difficulties. First of all, he has had to contend with those friends of the Race who have felt that it was Secretary Baker's special duty at this time attempt to solve or settle the so-called leaders, leaders from all parts of the country have importured the War Department in various and sundry directions, where the peculiar southern situation, had to be taken into account. Because of these difficulties the secretary of war called to his aid on Oct. 1, 1862, to the Negro Department, a representative of the Negro Department, Fimmett J. Scott, who for eighteen years was secretary to the Washington and also secretary of the Tennessee Industrial Institute in Alabama. Mr. Scott has a wide acquaintance among members of his own race, and with the south, as well as with leaders of thought and public opinion. In the north. He had sought to relieve the burden of the burdensome details growing out of controversies involving racial relationships, caused or occasioned by the presence of white and Colored tapes together. Lately there has been a certain amount of misgiving and unrest among the people of color, who have been led to feel, by reason of reports of alleged mistreatment of Colored men in cantonments, that there is a disposition on the part of the War Department to deal unfairly with Colored drafters in the National Army cantonments and in National Guard camps. For the purpose of allaying these suspicions and correcting certain false impressions which have been made and circulated, the secretary of war has addressed an open letter to his Colored aid, stating his attitude and the policy of the War Department with reference X-RAY DENTISTRY Examination with the wonderful I-Ray machine is made by our specialist before doing obscure work.

Scott, Special Assistant, War Department. *partiment.* Borrow from the various telegrams and letters of protest against the parliament, to which you have called my partiment, to which you have alleged discrimination against Congress. Concerned with wish to say that a full investigation matters complained of has been ordered. As you know, it has been, my policy to discourage discrimination against any person. This policy has been adopted not merely as an act of justice to all races that are American people, but also to safeguard the American people, which we are now at the greatest sacrifice engaged. In defending, and any racial disorders must endanger. At the same time there is no intention of the part of the War Department to take action against the so-called race question. In this hour of national emergency and need, the Colored men alike are being called to take action against other capacities behind the firing line. I very much regret what seems to be a certain amount of overworked hyphasis on the part of some of the complicating tasks. Colored draffees are being assigned to duty in service battalions, where thousands of white draffees already have been and more of them necessarily will be assigned to duty in such service battalions. Some of the complaints or charges of discrimination seem all the more unwarranted, in view of the fact that the soldier who faces shot and shell on the firing line. Furthermore, the attitude of soldiers is clearly shown by the following facts: More than 626 of the 1,250 Colored men who completed the course at the reserve officers' training school have commissions as officers in the Medical forces fighting force of 30,000 Colored soldiers, including representatives in practically every branch of military service, to be detailed or duty in France under Gen. Pershing. The relations between the colored and white men, in the carms continue, and white men in the carms work out on a very satisfactory basis, but no trouble seems likely to arise. All of my reports indicate that the Col-mer is accepting this as an opportunity to seize the opportunity for creating discord or trouble, and white men and officers are passing over to the police for helpful spirit. We need this emergency is the help of right-thinking people in the cities and towns that are getting that co-operation and are getting course free from embarrassment, if German propagandists, who want to make discord by stirring up trouble, simply not allowed to do their work. As a matter of fact, the colored people have lived together now for a good many years and have established relationships in several parts of the country which are more or less well organized and acquiesced in. Gradually the Colored people are acquiring education in the industrial arts, and are wondering themselves more and more useful in our civilization. And more and more entitled to our respect. On the other hand, the white people are coming more generally to realize the value of the good citizens among the Colored people through their industrial importance and their eager desire to learn and qualify themselves for usefulness in the country, and this has brought about a growth of good feeling, marred, it is true, here and there, by such incidents as that at Houston and that at East St. Louis, which grew out of sad misunderstandings, and were perhaps contributed to in at least one of these instances, by the malicious activities of people who would rejoice to see any embarrassment come to us as a sign of weakness against our enemy. Therefore, unrest among the Colored people and suspicion of the government on their part are, by all means, to be discouraged at a time like this. We are bending all our energies to the enemy of democracy and freedom, and the army we are building contains the enemy of democracy and freedom, and we are expecting that they will all do a duty, and when they have done it they will be attributed to the gratitude of their country.

Florence Lilliard had come from Cloverport, St. Louis, Mo. for a visit, and, like Caesar, "She came, she saw, she conquered," and was perfectly satisfied her conquest, until Old Mother Grundy goes with her bromon and dustpan. The result obvious to us all—the drifted and lime made changes in their existence. Florence Lilliard became the bride of another man, and after being widowed she sought solace in her grief by summoning the pages of the "World's Greatest Weekly," the Chicago Defender. One day the name of Arthur King stood out in all its vividness and she wondered could it be her Arthur of long ago, and her thoughts of him, that he lain dormant for many years, that he lived in the Presence of Remembrance, and she found that he had not forgotten. Her modesty would not allow her to write directly to him, when lo and behold: the next week's issue of the Chicago Defender gave the name and address of the very man that had introduced them, Mr. Charles E. Correia, 4662 S. State street. A course of time Arthur King, who remained faithful during all these years, called upon the then Mr. Florence L. Thomas, St. Louis, Mo. A curtain is best drowned over the intervening time, but what is of the utmost interest to us all, is that Arthur King has taken an apartment for his bride, has 99 years of experience, and that after twenty-three years, fidelity he has been able, through the Chicago Defender, to enjoy in the autumn of life what he most desired in the spring time of his existence. ROLAND HAYES REGITAL By Lena James Holt That, Chicago, the long-styled crude western metropolis, is awakening to the cultural as well as social and civic trend was evident by the discriminating audience which greeted Mr. Roland Hayes of Boston in song recital Tuesday at the South Park M. E. church; In the art of program making Mr. Hayes established a musical precedent which might well be emulated by all artists. Style, balance and primal thought to numbers best fitting his impeccable genre evinced this art. With few exceptions he presented a replica of the program given by him in Boston in Symphony Hall, Nov. 15th, for which Chicago commends him. Some visiting artists of the past, placing a light valuation upon Chicago's culture and art interest, have essayed some programs positively trite. However, from this cultural aphasia the Windy City is rapidly recovering, until now each worthy artist receives unstinted and specific support, while a worthy and satisfying program is considered next in important to the artist. Mr. Hayes upheld his reputation of being one of the greatest of tenors, and his stage presence and poise, absolete in the theatrics usually used by him, was one of the most musical savant, Mr. H. T. Burleigh, whose wonderful personality and glorious voice held an onyous place on the concert stage for many years. Mr. Hayes is the proud possessor of a lyric voice, mellifluous and resonant, an upper range which displays nuances of wistful emotional coloring and a musicianship parallels with his extraordinary talent. He was also helped, his interpretation of Tipton's "Spirit Flower" and Coloridge Taylor's "On, Away, Awake, Beloved" was a revelation, while his pure, shaded legato singing of Donnellott, "Purtiva, Lagrima" characterized him as the embodiment of perfectness. His soaring to the heights of song writing proclaim him ambitious beyond his already well-developed talent, but he is also a strong friend, child of a restless moment, was worthy of his giving it programmatic consideration. A few years of earnest work with some reputable music theorist should not be overlooked by this young man, who is a creator. The lyric was by Miss Aurolia Ward of this city. Mr. Hayes is both gentleman and scholar, while his blend of talent places him as one of the great executors of music. All races should be proud of him and extend a support worthy of the superb art which he so ably represents. PLEASANT SUNDAY AFTERNOON The program rendered at the Pleasant Sunday Afternoon was by far the best ever given. Mr. Clifford Roe addressed the audience upon the subject, and he offered a forty-minuteutes he held the vast audience spellbound, as he revealed the sinister influences which constantly threaten the unprotected young woman. Mrs. Myrtle Winfrey sang a soprano solo of the marital style. Her voice is improving in resonance and tonal beauty. Mrs. Myrtle Guinea essayist, read a splendid paper on the subject, and rene Dunbar." Mr. Gosset played an organ solo, which, as usual, was very finely rendered. Professor Holley's orchestra of twelve pieces proved to be the artistic sensation of the entire program. Their numbers were filled with tumultuous appliance. Miss M. E. Reeves sang Krisler's "Cradle Song." She proved a real exponent of the bel canto. She possesses a voice of astonishing range and sweetness. ENTERTAIN FRATERNAL Mrs. Ella. L. Holmes, 3115 Wabash avenue, gave a six course dinner Saturday, Nov. 24, in honor of William H. Kields, national grand master of the A. U. K. and D. of A. and Mrs. Ada Harris, state grand queen of the A. U. K. and D. of A. Both are from St Louis, Mo. Twenty-five were present. An elaborate menu was served, consisting of caviar, oyster soup, fish creme, turkey, cranberries mashed potato, salad, pineapple, whipped cream, cake cheese. Praises were heard from all sides of this excellent society event. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER GREAT CROWD EXPECTED AT ST.

APPOMATTOX CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS After a vigorous campaign, the election of officers at Appomattox Club came to a close Saturday night, with Hon. S. A. T. Watkins' colors flying in. And in matters it was a great campaign and in some quarters the fusion ticket. At all stages of the old-time managers predicted that Watkins would be the winner, while some of the younger and inexperienced members thought that George Walker, a Watkins, who has had experience in the Sun Shield campaign was heated and in some quarters prevailed at a time that the fusion man win with such ease. Walker made a number of speeches, some very effective ones on certain nights in the week, at Watkins, who has had experience in the Sun Shield campaign, nights of Pythias and "pulling wires" over his positions, had the advantage over Mr. Walker. Some say Walker used too few cigars in his campaign, while Watkins always give his friends a 5-5 chance of merits of both men were discussed and that both had ability, but it was Watkins' past experience, former success as a president that gave him the lead over friend George. The following president, first elected, President, S. A. T. Watkins; second President, S. A. T. Watkins; third President, H. S. Golins; financial secretary, H. T.

Other people of color who were on the car were forced to flee for their lives.

Stanfield to the scene to investigate the reason for stabbing Butler to death and also to arrest Mrs. Josie Hollman for not submitting to a severe beating. It is rumored that the men who committed the assault were celebrating the event in a near-by saloon while the officials were combing the district for Mrs. Hollman. NEW YORK POST TAKES A POKE AT THE SOUTH Gov. McCall's refusal to grant the extradition of a Negro charged with a capital crime in West Virginia has naturally aroused a storm of indignation in that state and the south. In a similar case, a couple of years ago the governor of Pennsylvania delivered a South Carolina Negro to the authorities of that state after a long fight. But the fact remains that the Negro does not get justice in the courts of the south, when no Colored man is allowed to sit on a jury to try one of his Race. This inability to obtain justice for the reasons most frequently in the Negro immigrants from now pouring into the north conferences that have been Memphis and in various other between representatives of the with a view to stopping the ex-the tyranny of the police and of minor courts has invariably been a reason for the Colored man's.

Chicago Money SPEEDBALL HAYDEN LIVED UP TO ADVANCE NOTICES REFEREE DICK MONOHAN says: "The press agents had Speedball Biden, a former protege of Ex-Middleweight Army Champion Rufus Wilkens, who was a former boxing champion long in connecting with prize-ring fame." Previous to his victory over Rufus, Hayden was claimant to the army welterweight title. Now he is a duo, boxing champ–holder of both the welterweight and middleweight crown. To date, there has been none to dispute Hayden's claim to the welter crown. If thy of the army ring stars have considered disputing Speedball's claim to it, the chances are now that, since he beat such a crack as Wilkens–middleweight—such contenders more than likely will pull in their horns. Monohan added: "There are a lot of boxing promoters in the United States, who are learning by learning how the Columbus promoters pit on a boxing program. There is a lot of class to the way the New Mexico people handle a boxing show." Hayden jumped from a small-windup victory over Bort Griffin a couple of years ago to win two rounds to put Griffin foww and twelve to earn victory over Williams. fifty yards? was counteracted by a perfect pass from Harvey to Brooks, netting Hampton a gain of twenty-five yards. Hampton was successful in making several other passes, Claybourne and Hearn caught passes for long going. Near the end of the game Howard fought desperately to save herself a whitehush, but the game ended with the ball still in her territory. Howard Outplayed The game was a very fast one. Although the Howardites fought hard, they played in every phase of the game. Coleman did well, did excellent work for Iowand. The whole Hampton team played better than it has played during this season.

It is now five running since the riot trials, of the seventen men and two in the Chester county, and six in the Cincinnati county, are under tenentiary sentences, eleven are members of the Race, while only nine are white, notwithstanding the fact that the race officials detected, the Race supplied only 14 per cent of the number. In other words, while the Race furnished 14 per cent of the number, only 7 per cent of them have received sentences while of the 88 per cent furnished by the whites, only a little over 7 per cent of them have received sentences. Another fact which opposes the complete confidence of the Race that through an appeal the great majority of the men of color can establish their own rights with respect to their positions in the cases of the white convicts. The record of the Circuit court at Belleville shows that 55 persons have been arrested out of the 100 that in attendance it begins to look as though there will be an unwarranted number of men of color convicted in view of the small number of white men who will have to suffer. The men at Chester and their terms are as follows: Whitees—Charles Hanne, 15 years; F. Woods, 14 years; F. Woods, 14 years; Leo A. Keane, 14 years; S. L. Schultz, Indeterminate sentence of from 1 to 14 years on plea of another; Harry Loomish, 5 years. Colored—Marshall Alexander, William Palmer, Othaniel Peoples, Charles Hanne, 15 years; George Roberts, Leo Simmerman, Bud Townsend and Horace Thomas, 14 years each; Calvin Beenner, 5 years. George Roberts, George Roberts, has has ten eleven and sentenced to jail on pleas of guilty. The fifth group of white men were placed on trial Monk Preport, Il. Three white men who were sentenced to the penitentiary, but are not yet there, are Richard Brockway, 5 years and John Johnson, 1 year; Brockway is in jail because his former surety, Dr. M. R. Doyle, white, was convicted of murder, 5 years and John Evanhoff, Ed Otto and Daniel Walsh were fined $500 each on a conspiracy charge, while John Evanhoff, white, was convicted of these were white men. Evanhoff and Walsh did not appear for trial and their bonds of $2,000 each were deferred forfeit. Walsh has only one lager.

Dec. 7.—After a brilliant record of unbroken victories Tuskegee Institute closed its football season by winning from the “picked” team of the Ninth Battalion of Infantry, Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala.

The soldiers’ squad, 22 in number, was the first team listed men with the “paz” band and a coterie of officers and their wives, reached the school before noon and immediately the campus assumed a commanding position in the situations appropriate in its outbursts.

Bolden, at center; Novels, Cooley and Thomas Smith in the backfield, and armer tackle, played with a concession to the back in a sweep down the side line featured his work. Simmons was switched from his back to quarter back and he ran the ball with good judgment and gave every one a chance to do his bit. Townsend and Williams incarned, did work of the back in the offense, spirit of aggressiveness and assurance, Captain Goodwin took Cooley's place and played to form. He was responsible for the ability to heave long forward passes can hardly be excelled. He is not a show man, but he has, paved the way for the several of the touchdowns made this season. The right and left wings were sly handled by Brasher and Meadows, ways play with plenty of persistent purpose. Brasher was the Tuskegee star who did feature work in the game. He was a good goal that stood out in vivid contrast to other participants. Of the three touchdowns made Brasher was able to regress one goal, so Tuskegee Thanksgiving ended with a 13 to 0 victory. The game was one of the finest exhibitions of clean, masterly played football ever seen at Tuskegee Institution. Officials: S. R. Huey, Auburn, reference: W. B.

Madden Has Bgen Requested to Read It Before Congress The Honorable Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, the White House, Washington, D. C. His Excellency: In the name and on behalf of 12,000,000 loyal and patriotic Colored citizens of the United States, we have the honor to memorialize the President and the congress of the United States of America in this our greatest national crisis to take such immediate steps, as a war measure, to suppress mob violence and prevent and punish the taking of human life without due process of law within the jurisdiction of the United States. First—The fourteenth amendment to the National Constitution plainly prohibits lynching and the unlawful taking of human life: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Second—The federal government has power to suppress lynching during the war under the constitution. The Col- people are citizens of the United States, not citizens of the United States, not rights to abridge their privileges or deny them of the immunities of citizens of the United States, nor deprive them of life, liberty or property without due process of the law. The people comprise the people of the United States, not the whole people are prohibited from being, we believe any portion of them are equally prohibited from consummating. Assuming that the fourteenth amendment was intended only as a prohibition upon the states, no state under this amendment has a right to deny colored citizens within its jurisdiction upon the laws. Third—When Colored citizens answering by the thousands the call of their country to fight and die for world democracy on foreign battlefields, on Dec. 2, at Dyersburg, Tenn., in broad daylight, Sunday afternoon, thousands flocked from over the countryside to public square to witness the burning of citizens of the United States without a trial and without due process of law. The growth and continuance of this atrocious practice for more than twenty-five years show conclusively the inability of certain states to cope with the presence of mob violence and lynching which have brought reproach upon our country throughout the civilized world. Such occurrences as the Dyersburg horror undermine the unquestioned patriotism of the Colored people and make loyalty and allegiance to the country more difficult. devotion and service of every citizen are now needed to win this war for democracy and to make the world safe against the further aggressions of the pro-immigrant population. We hold that the government which exacts allegiance is under obligations to give protection in return; that the government which comes into the home and takes the citizen from his home and takes him to the foreign fields should exert its est endeavor and power to protect its citizens left at home from the pains and penalties of mob violence, andaching and thereby inspire a greater obligation and patriotism to our common country and its sacred institutions. Therefore, as a war measure, we respectfully request and urge the President and the congress to take some mime and an effective steps to abolish lynching and secure the hearty and solidified support and co-operation of all the patriotic peoples of the United States to win the war for civilization and to make the world safer for democracy.

Jackson, known as the "Fighting Major," was given a vice president send off in the campaign for adherent Saturday night at the Second ward headquarters, 35th and Wabash avenue. Representative men and women with races were present; in fact, every race was attended by a second ward was there. A. G. Sims, campa- manager for the "Major," and one who has never lost a battle, was chairman of the meeting, and Hon. H. G. Hewlett, master of ceremonies. Mr. Green started the ball rolling and it was pushed on by the learned Edward H. Wright, assistant corporation counsel- Jeb. He paid Major Jackson a glowing bonus as Hon. George F. Hardin, Hon. Wm. Cowan II, and Hon. Alderman Hugh Norris and Alderman Louis B. Anderson. The Easter Billy Club was presented and several women spoke. Hon. Adelbert H. Robbins showed how Major Jackson should be called when he for "Fighting Bob" to make a strong appeal, urging the voters to give him their support. It is the consensus of opinion that every leader in the ward, including Mayor William Hale Thompson, Madden and Senator Samuel Ettleson, has been Jackson because of his clean record of twenty years in the United States hostoffice, six years as a state representative, 30 years a successful leader, 20 years as a states and other fraternities and 20 years in the eight infantry. The women of the ward say they are for him to a voter. Provident Hospital Fund The Provident Hospital emergency fund dividend and team captain: Jeremy B.

This, we repeat, is absurd, and yet it is the belief of many well-meaning people. England and France, where prejudice plays a minor part in everyday life, have sent their darker subjects to the front unhesitatingly, and these same men have given a good account of themselves. Our War Department undoubtedly has been flooded with protests against giving anything but scant recognition to our troops. That it has, in a manner, ignored these requests is gratifying to all lovers of true democracy. If we hark-back to the days of the civil war we will recall that the officials tried to whip the south from their swivel chairs without the aid at first of the men who came in for a share of the benefits. Their mistake was seen and rectified in time to save the day. It has been said that there have been differences between the allied nations as to the best way to conduct the war. This is not strange, when it is remembered that each nation has a complete war equipment of its own. The fact that they are fighting a common enemy brings them to a realization that the fewer directing heads the better. Germany's success so far is attributed to the centralization of all things under one head. What she has been a half-century in doing, the allies must do in a few years. Each day sees this scheme nearer completion, and each day we are better prepared to strike the final blow that will kill autocracy and establish universal democracy. What the War Department needs is men—fighting men—of every color. The army is no place to socialize. We pick our friends and acquaintances in times of peace—in times of war our comrades are those immediately around us. When the struggle is over the benefits will be the same for all, the glory will come to all. Can a man or woman be other than a traitor who strives to stir up dissension and race prejudice when the fate of the country hangs in the balance, when loyalty is the watchword? NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING PLE who live in a large city get the habit, the case may be, to do their shopping. Printer's or the sale of every successful dealer's common practice is to purchase a Hermum, the great circus man, or We find in his shop a large quantity of instance, sugar a half cent per pound calls it. immediately we put on our bonnets, taking the crowd, for no telling how he told us that he is on a stand, to onunds, buy a lot of other things at the store what has been accomplished. Well, in the first half cents on the sugar—a small carrot—we have spent ten cents for car fare, and nothing of the wear and tear on your dishware, our neighboring merchants and carries, only two items that count in a transaction. so your patronage? the business especially should realise is regulated by the neighbourhood's business houses are prosperous, even values rise, the income from rents increases, because the proprietor when you patronize, because the proprietor when you want, your complaints are quickly the price of the goods purchased is, on the whole obvious: The small dealer pays only a modest way, doesn't employ an army of mannequins, etc. he looks after the business end himself, he captainial has the power he paper because he buys in large quantities. the paper shares in the prosperity of the home of the man him.

We find in the big ad of a department, once said, "like to be underpriced; for instance, sugar a half cent per pound cheaper than your brand in the jars. Immediately we put on our bonnets, hike down there, and then go to the store for a long time to make the customer.

If near a business section is held in the area of a prosperous, every owner is directly of prosperity is everywhere evidenced. When you patronize and a general air of the service is better, because the proprietor learns to know you personally and is not a person who will want, your complaints are quickly and satisfactorily, and the price of the goods purchased is, on the whole, far less than the 'Loop' store ask. The reason is obvious: The small dealer pays only a moderate rental, and invests in a modern, way, does not employ an army of managers, high-salaried clerks, and does not end himself and checks all the little leaks. This curtailment more than offsets the big dealers buys cheaper because he buys in large quantities. And when it is realized that the purchaser shares in the prosperity of the home dealer, it is doubly important that the dealer who gives the best and the most for the amount invested is the one who is always such a place within a radius of a few blocks. Charity begins at home and first those nearest to you. Patronize stores in your immediate neighborhood. LEADING OUR OWN THE STATEMENT that we will not follow, blayly impelled by a selfish motive.

The plums that fall from the tree are not the type and juice ones, should, according to their way of thinking, fall into the outcasts and superiors race. Being in the ascendency as far as numbers are concerned, it is a major master to make their desire law. Why a man in the military service would be forced to take a command of superior officer is a conundrum that finds its answer in the larger. We are. Why are we not in uniform and not the man that is saluted. If that is true, wherein lies the difference as to the color beneath the uniform?

A. is playing in the war game. It is the connecting link between our home and home ties. It gives a schooling in the higher things of life that finds no duplication in any other activity. It is worthy of note that, approximately, 10 percent of our officers will write their own names on the pay roll; which goes to prove our capability to follow orders intelligently, but our ability to hold down the highest offices.

In other words, let us have prosecution, not persecution. CHRISTMAS has a habit of stalling up on us before we know it and before we are financially ready for it.

ALLISON SWEENEY Breaks a Memphis "WHITE FOLKS NIGGER" On The Wheel!

It is an unpleasing duty, always is, a contact, however slight, with that racial pariah and outcast, known and detested by decent Blacks and Whites alike, as a "WHITE FOLKS NIGGER!"

From the standpoint of the Negro's velsittitudes in this division of the Eastern Continent, measured by nearly the same use, no individual influence, running back to, and commending with the dark and forbidding years of his slave life, reaching up to this period and coveting the life of the slave who dowered and deterred his efforts and strivings to attain to the full dignity and protection of AMERICAN slaves in the abomination; breathing from its guts the breath of the "stool pigeon" and "decoy", mentioned in the caption of this article, and third of that trio of slaves, who were the subjects which Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold were the preceding two. My attention some time ago was directed to a Memphis, Tenn. individual, one Sharon Sonner, a Nebraska student who proved a "WHITES MAN'S NIGGER" for your life! Owing to a stress upon my time, I have not, until now, been able to understand the TINCT CONSIDERATION he has fairly won, and I shall strive to as fairly give. For although it necessitates me to understand the DIRTY thing, the GREEPES, and TWISTS, and SMELLS, I propose to BREAK HIM ON THE WHEEL, to expose the strangely befuddled heads of such southern publications as the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, that sponsored him, that the old fashioned, grimming, tortured, and scary Tom" colored person, is no longer the mode; is a poor reed to lean upon, and not worth a hell in hell as a guide to better understanding between the "ace." . . . In an address delivered at the Central High School of Memphis, by this sassie and in response to an invitation from the Chamber of Commerce—White-of that city, of which the Commercial-Appeal said: "Those who attended the meeting at Central high school last night were fortunate in hearing one of the most logical, dispassionate and comprehensive addresses ever made of the white and Negro races. Attention is directed to the following excerpts from it as printed in the Commercial-Appeal; and through the commercial and commercial work of the author, he held it was driving at when it dubbed the stuff, reproduced below: "The mestological, dispassionate and comprehendeous life of the man" "Poor Memphis" God help and commu- cerate her!

The most important of the work is known as twentoth century culture and refinement, and which, the volume of population considered as the most important part of the State. This was, of course, an eye upon what he does, keeping in mind, that these extracts, reproduced, reberation and the information of the work were printed SOLELY FOR THE CONSUMPTION AND CHEER OF THE WHITES; it is, as though its "no one should be seen" "now" and "now are you content"? The darkies, you see, are ALL RIGHT; they won't leave US; are still HUMBLE AND the most uncomprehended, the most frequent killings THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE HERE; are NOT WISHING FOR ANY MORE PRIVILEGES THAN WHICH, if you doubt you read—WHAT?

Cringling tightly, glowing brightly. Though sometimes a leaf must fall Yes, sometimes some force above us "Temps to push us to the ground. But we find a niche to cling to.

And each "dog" will claim his own. the Negro in America, Dr. Griggs led his audience through the days of slavery and showed wherein the white slave had accepted slaves as a trust and that trust-had been faithfully observed was shown in the attitude of the slave during the war between the states. The thinkers of the Negro race do not the so-called social equality which he believed in bugbear of unthinking people, he said. As a race they stand for two separate and distinct races. It is the patriotic duty of the Negro to look to the south for a moment of the problems which lie between the Negro and the of carrying such difficulties to the people of the north, he said, because to the south the Negro owes no has, and because no one can understand him like a southern-ner. The Negro has secured from the south language, respect for womankind and religion. The Negro has given the south an increased sense of humor, an increased sense of command, which makes all southerners leaders, comes from the training received in directing the black man in his tasks. Speaking of the laws, Dr. Griggs provides protection of them for the black man in means of making the lot of the Negro easier, but of establishing a condition of sympathy, confidence and trust between the races. He charged the Negroes to improve the class of service and labor for the black man in players, as they could hope for no better understanding or assistance until they had proven themselves worthy of it. As a means of solving the "servant problem," he urged the class of domestic servants for efficiency of service in the homes of white people. Summarized, reduced to its last analysis, the message delivered by this preacher "nigger," to the whites who listened to him, and whose ancestors through ten generations had whipped the black backs of his ancestors—OF OURS, amounted simply to THIS: "Placate, calm yourselves, masters and mistakes, you have NOTHING TO ANSWER FOR, either TO GOD OR POSTERITY! Slavery WAS NOT A CRIME; it WAS RIGHT! Our fathers and mothers LIKED IT! When your fathers, husbands and brothers FOUGHT TO KEEP IT ALIVE, AND SPREAD IT ALL OVER THE NA-TION, they mourned and sorrowed, in secret and in silence, when they realized THEY MIGHT NO LONGER BE SLAVES! Remember how kind and thoughtful they were of the wives and babies LEFT BEHIND ON THE OLD PLANTATIONS? Well, then, ENJOY YOURSELVES TONIGHT: have a GOOD TIME; I'm a GOOD NIGGER; the KIND YOU LIKE!"

TRUCKLING ASS! Yes, the Negro, as no other race in all the centuries of time, touched the high water mark *MIDDEN* renunciation, and that FORGIVENESS that "Tassess understand-ing"; For five bloody years of fearful strife; Rio de Janeiro mothers worsened; He fed the babe, Shielded the mother, Gurded the dooris Of a million southern homes!

But that is not all. I wander here and there, I tramp from city to village, from village to crossroads; and plunging in the country; standing uncovered, and with glistening eye, by the side of lonely spots, many of them, where are piles of clinders and ashes, I am told: "Here once stood the cab-in; the cot; the humble, though happy, home of 'Black Folks'—but homes NO MORE! Burned to the earth; sent up in smoke; while the howling mob circled around, because the babies that had filled them with glee WERE BLACK; the mothers and fathers; the 'auntless' and 'uncles.' and old white haired 'grannies'; weak and tottering: "Just waiting for the Lord." Thus has he BEEN REPAID! This way REWARDED! . . . He prated of the separation of the races — the Whites who listened, the Blacks who the old, old matter needed elucidation; the white matter needed elucidation; All the Negro wants; MUST; HAMPEED; DEAL a square, UN-HAMPEED; DEAL MANHood AND MANHoodHood; A White man's chance" to the right SUIT OF HAPPINESS. Did he make THAT clear to the rang who sat before him now, now, now, have enshrined him in "GOOD" HE did NOT. To have done so would he have to have proven him a MANHood and PRINCIPLE don't go with "southern gentleman"; ONLY "miggers." it is declared: "Put a begar on he backback and he will ride him to the big house."

Look to the SOUTH! The south, the ridiculous JACKANAPES! Did nothing warn HIM! If blind—and he warned him! If he not, through some sage, intuitive horse GRINS OF THE WHITES when he made that, BUGHHOUSE BREAK TO THE SOUTH! THE SOUTH! The SOUTH! Horse, you wonder, yonder are visions of "DEATH HEADS": "JIM CROW CARS; dentsALBOT BOOTS; boxes; roadside GIBBETS; MOTHERS; SISTERS; OF MOTHERS; YOUNG; TENDER, SWEET, because innocent, helpless, because DAVIS RACE—the thoughtless pup; DAVIS RACE—the thoughtless pup; to assuage the flaming lust of "SOUTH men"—DEAD! Look to the SOUTH! Sure, he's a "nigger"; a "WHITE MOTHER" but friends, is he not ALSO FOOL! ELING FOOL! For fifty years we've been looking to the south for a chance in the sun; for safety, come Sneers, Laughter—CURSES; mees us; and beyond them, the ROSE; the STAKE; the BULLET! What more need I say? BEHOLD, and lo; being but a "WHITE FOLKS NIGGER," a worm, I now dismiss him: and—why lie about it. HATING HIS KIND, I KICK HIM IN THE FACE, and in his EXPOSED ENTRALS! Personally, I don't know him; don't want to; should chance ever favor me with an acquaintance, I am sure I would not remember him for a minute; couldn't see him, he's said SMILE AND UNLEASANTLY DISGRACEFUL, or that brood and breed; a TRUCKLER, SYCOPHANT and GHOUL; trading in the sorrows and handicaps of his race; making merry, and helping along the trickieries and chicineries of THE CRIMINAL WHITES OF THE SOUTH, he weighs with me as an ANGLE WORM; a FIEA; a LOUSE! Those extracts from his harangue not commented on, cheap and offensive "built," put out to make himself "good" with his "nigger driving" patrons, who would kick him on the rear of his and cass if he failed to put his hat under his arm in their presence, speak for themselves.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles POINTS ON PRACTICE AMONG NEGROES F. L. Bott, M. D. Lexington, Miss. We have read Dr. F. L. Bott's article in the Medical Summary for November on "Points on Practice Negroes," and we are going to quote very largely, if not in toto, this article for the benefit of the readers, as a large number of our readers boast and facilitate themselves on the Do something to hold it. Be master of the situation. Always have something better to offer. Let your patients know that you are at the end of your knowledge. Doctor, knowing medi- line is only one of the many things you must know to be a success in medicine. Your physician can long ex- perience care, sacrifice, all things along together. Look after the financial side, which is not the small cant part with any one. It is the small things that matter. The Negro of the south. To further quote Dr. Bott: "I want to say a few words in regard to Negro practice. The Negro of the south is the considered the best customer in business and pro- fession. He turns his money to his wants readily. He is liberal in many respects and his business is worth considered. We say Amen to this statement of Dr. Bott. You are right, brother, but do you know what he is giving you? What are you giving him for his business? Are you supplying the value of your business because he so readily turns to his wants? This is Dr. Bott's advice: "First, do not think any kind of advice because he appreciates best attention as much as or more than the white man. You have to refuse him, do it without hesitation because he stands for the white man to speak in rough tones, although you can be positive. The Negro appreciates your good clothes, office equipment, automobile and other shining and well kept effects. You are not through acquiring good things and he loves pretty things. The reason I speak of these things is that you who are not thorough acquaintance with the true conditions may think that just "any old way" will do for the Negro. You can get the best in everything. He can get the best in everything. You take his money, you are due to give him just as good attention from the Negro because he is the richest white person in the land." Drugs and the Negro Dr. Bott further states: "Doctor, he careful with your apomorphine with the Negro as he does not stand for it well. It does not take more purgative for the average Negro than for the average white man. He, the Negro, is easily salivated. You will be better pleased if you give what you are going to give while with the Negro patient, as he is liable to be taking long-hut. Then the next time you hear from him." And we say that the patient is liable to be using the foolish term—misery. We wish to much that the Negro people would get away from and stop using forever that silly, foolish, childish term "misery" in speaking of their sickness and pain or anything that hurts them. The Negro people make themselves a veritable laughing stock whenever any white doctor or any intelligent doctor comes into their home to examine them and they tell the doctor, in describing their own hurt or incident: "I have a misery in my side," "I am my side," "I am the chest," or anywhere except in your mind. Rubbing Medicine for the Negro Oh, the poor colored people like to rub. They rub everything from a too small to a small number. Dr. Bott further states: "Do not be afraid to give rubbing medicine to the Negro, as he likes it—the more the better. Say, you want to get the calming effect of rubbing and give it to him while you are there. Quineline may be given in grain doses from your hand in malaria, then you know he has got it; just remember to get it right from your hand to get effect or you may not get on so well." We believe the contents of Dr. Bott's article intelligible enough to ex- mpute the attitude of the white physician in the practice without any further comment from us. We trust that the poor, ignorant colored people who boast that they NEVER HAD THE OLREDOED DOCTOR become the patient of Dr. Bott, who advises white doctors to "never socialize or become on equal basis with the negro, but keep him always thinking that the MAN is BETTER than the Negro is." What are you going to do with your sons, daughters, grandchildren, if you are going to continue to be WORKED and EXPLOITED? TO SECURE THE CHICAGO DEFENDER AT THE PRESENT PRICE, $1.50 PER YEAR, AFTER JANUARY 1ST IT WILL BE $2.00 We have read Dr. F. L. Bott's article in the Medical Summary for November on "Points on Practice Among Negroes", and we are going to quote very largely, if not in toto, this article for the benefit of our readers, as a large number of our readers consent and folloitate themselves on the fact that "they have now has the service of a colored physician—and that they do not intend to ever employ colored physician as long as they have the tice Among Negroes," and we are going to quote very largely, if not in toto, this article for the benefit of our readers, as a large number of our readers boast of the ones themselves on the fact that "they have never had the services of a colored physician, and that they do not intend to ever employ a colored physician, as they have the money to pay or are able to get the money to pay a white doctor, however they may be," Dr. Bott states some very startling but real facts in his article and we want you colored readers to read and write about the man says, who has a large colored practice in his section of the country. We rather like the advice or suggestions that he makes for the benefit of the doctors. "Doctor, do not get careless about examinations. Too many of us go in, take a few questions and ask a few questions and best dose or prescribe. Too close an examination will never be made. You will never become less efficient in painstaking examinations. You will never become less efficient by this ill-timed examination. Even the most apparent exam knows you are doing your duty when you make a thorough examination. When you find yourself in a medical aid just stop and see what you are doing to hold their confidence. Rare Society Musicale Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Hudlin, 2250 Vernon avenue, and daughter, Miss Irene, one of Chicago's most promising young society girls, entertained Tuesday evening in honor of Mr. Clyde Glass of Des Moines, Iowa, graduate of Boston Conservatory of Music. It was a rare musicale treat. Original poems by Mrs. Hudlin and Mr. George Dewey Lepesco of Northwestern university were read and an excellent piece of oratory was delivered by Hon. W. Allison Sweeney. Other musicians of note on the program were Mme. Byron, Miss Hudlin, Hugh Buchanan, T. Theo, Taylor, Hillbert Stewart of Evanston. Among the guests were Miss Bass, Mrs. Miss Oldham, Dr. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Gearner Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. MASSACHUSETTS Boston, Mass, Dec. 7.—A M. E. Zion church has closed its eleventh annual fair. Because of the grand rally which has just closed many of the members thought that the fair could not be made as successful as in former years; but under the inspiration of their enthusiastic leader, Rev B. W. Swain, the members and friends rallied Thursday evening with the reports from the various tables showing increased receipts over previous years. There were no "snackers" among the members, and the worked. "The Well Wishers" table, Daniel W. Cartwright, chairman, leads all the rest, with receipts amounting to $100. Rev B. W.
