Each season some Negro melody creeps into the orchestral concert in the form of a symphony or suite, and the music is performed by William Harper, No. 313, haunts with magnificent silence, as it flaunts back the lie to many unbelievers, who depict the Negro as lethargic and indifferent. William Harper, in charge of the exhibit, was a revelation. When asked of Mr. Harper's picture, her eyes softened as he knew him? He was a splendid child. The landscape is one of his best paintings and was purchased by a student admirer, who felt that an exhibit would be incomplete without, at least one of them being shown. Every one here loved him." Is that not interest? In Orchestra Hall foyer Mme. Gulibert lectured in a delightfully charming "French-English" on the art of the ballet, and a folio of madame through an hour of dissertation on developing personality and charm, imagine my surprise when she came to the subject of folk songs to hear her in her own language. Negro has contributed to this country. Chicago offers many-phases of cultural life denied people in smaller cities the opportunity to participate. Very often ladies feel that they have reached the apex of social life when they can assemble a balanced group of female friends in a party, what of the occasion? It's attractive gown, or the fiasco of Mrs. It's social aspirations? These subjects are absurd at formal, and a balanced group of female guests lead her guests through a series of toques—music, painting, the drama, literature, domestic and foreign affairs, and when exhausted, nothing serves so well to the time-worn subject, "the weather."

Exchange 2841 State Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 18—Alex Stephens, a prominent Race man and merchant of considerable means, was a modern medieval his store, Springs Flats, Fla., right, December 29. From the story given to the Defender representative it appears that a man from Stephens and son reading home with his purchase, his parents being dissatisfied with either the quality or the location of the store, the son took place between the father of the boy and Mr. Stephens. The men talked over the phone and the white man, who was the son, sat down to be down in person to see him. A few minutes later he entered the meat market where Stephens was leaning on the counter and taking a piece of meat for a customer and had his head down, when the white man deliberately took aim and fired Stephens. He was not satisfied with the man. Not being satisfied after Stephens fell, the white man walked back on the counter and fired two more shots, the justice impaneled a jury, which found a verdict of justifiable homicide. Stephens was considered among the best jurors in the court of that section of Florida and had been in business for a number of years.

WHY ARE POLICEMEN MADE PLAIN CLOTHES MEN ON PROMOTION? No Uniformed Sergeants or Lieutenants Except on Parade or at Funerals JIM CROW FIRE DEPARTMENT Since the motor cars have been installed the white men in No. 21's engine sleep with those of the Race, and there then our men certainly ought to take to sleep under the same roof with the whites at the other stations. We must have our rights. Those who don't want to associate with honourable should be given one privilege—that is, to the rights of Americans, regardless of color or being fired. A dismissal of one or two Irish brats would make the rest sit up and take notice. It is at this unfortunate situation that till every man who is an American can have his rights in this city. Nonresistance Is Not His Doctrine, Grenfell Says Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell (white), the past missionary to Labrador, who spotted the two Frontons "the the Sunday Evening Event," the the Sunday Night night, has recently returned from France, where he spent four months in hospital service. There are innumerable "fronts" in this war, Dr. Grenfell asserted. Every individual in America, he said, could have been a house of justice and humanity at his own "front," whether here or in Europe. "I have no faith in the nonresistance and Christianity. Christianity calls for resistance. Christ himself fought the greatest fight ever recorded, and He was killed because He resisted evil to the earth." "There is value in all forms of resistance. You people of Chicago have gained the courage to stop the snow. I had to marvel at that, when all the steam engines and electric railways, it took me two days to come to Chicago. Why, I could have covered it with my dog team in less than a day."

CHICAGO DEFENDER The Present Crisis Produces Real Man Emmett Jay Scott Is Found to Be a Great Asset to the Race By Ralph W. Tyler Washington, Jan. 18.—Every crisis produces a real man. In some instances the man produced is one who had never before been heard of, except in his own brain of a life of instances, he has been the man who, though having had acquaintance, who had never been regarded, as a real agitation for the liberty of the slaves, and the ability to assist agitation for suffrage for the Race, gave us that potential factor in ballwick. In some instances he has been the man who, though having had the acquaintance, who had never been regarded as a real friend of the cee. The agitation for the liberty of the slaves, and the naturally follower of the suffrage for the Race, gave us that big, strong and unstoppable achievement both—Frederick Douglass, Slavery abolished, and suffrage a guarantee, through constitutional amendments. Douglass, having, accomplished his mission the Race for a few years, like a mariner at sea without a compass, drifted—merely drifted with a guide until necessity produced. But gave us a Booker T. Washington, who painted and led the way to industrial and commercial betterment. This great world war that made such startling kaleidoscopic change, given the Race an Emmett J. Scott. Mr. Scott was not a brand new, suddenly discovered star in our itermament. He was known, and had been a highly great secretary to a really great minister the successful secretary is he who subordinates himself to his chief—the one reflected in borrowed light; the line he wrote in his cost, within a certain prescribed sphere with tact, rather than with force. Mr. Scott was generally regarded, by those who knew him, as merely the door opening into his office. T. Washington's private chamber. The man who has been fortunate enough to be here on the ground, and posed fine little empathy, will subsequently tackle the big problems in the War department that have so deeply concerned it as conscious of how this terrible war is affecting their own existence, a real man; a man with a wonderful capacity for initiating as well as for detailing details. There are numberless, less experienced men in their own estimation, in cross-road hamlets, who are telling how they proceed in unnerving administration to touch the lives of those in Race in this war. And really some of them have proven to be assets. But to those who have had occasion to freewheel Navy building here, and have learned, first hand, how Emmett J. Scott has initiated things; has taken up and worked with the Navy building here, and have learned, first hand, how Emmett J. Scott has initiated things; has taken up and worked with the Navy building here, and have learned, first hand, how Emmett J. Scott has been used to the cause of little Napoleon of details. In Emmett J. Scott there is a happy and effective harmonizing and collaboration of a Frederick Doughas, the resourcefulness, persistence and commitment; the fine aggressiveness of a Du Bois, and the incisiveness of a Kelly Miller, and without the least show of his year's eye-singled to self-adventure.

The game was full of thrills from start to finish and the result was in doubt until the referee's first whistle armed the New York victors by a 5-2. The second brought the spectators to their feet with two hair raising stabs from the center of the court, his other two stabs from the back, and his glides. The close guarding of Rhone and Thomas kept the local boys from under the basket. Hainey, however, kept the lads out, the game with his faultier team of 18 trials.

ST. CLAIRE IS AN EASY WINNER OVER REAGAN Salt Lake City, Jan. 18—Willie St. Claire of Sacramento got the decision over Jimmy Reagan (white) of San Francisco, even before the invitation to the Houston Club. The team, as St. Claire is concerned, was one of the best exhibitions of boxing which has been staged at the club in many cities, as the Reagan favorite. It took him and jeered on account of the tactics which he employed during the fight. The Colored fighter from Sacramento was a clean battle all the way through, but Reagan recorded to rough tactics. St. Claire won the fight on his merits. He outboxed and outfought Reagan. The Sacramento boy has not the hay-making punch, yet he fought in and out so fast that he had Reagan on the defensive the greater part of the time, and the enemy bows to one landed by Reagan. Reagan, who fought, Benny Leonard a ten-round no-decision affair in New York, made a line showing against the champion, was the favorite as soon as he made his appearance. It was thought that Leonard would take the bout. In the first round St. Claire outboxed him and from the second round on Reagan used such a line to win, but he had to warn him time and again, the end of the fourth round the audience was hissing and cat-calling Reagan in the same class with St. Claire in a boxer. In the sixth and last round he tried hard for a come-back, in the seventh for a haymaker, but St. Claire best him to the punch, rocking him several times.

A ten dollar investment in this company may be worth from a thousand to two thousand dollars in less than ninety days! It costs only from eight hundred to a thousand dollars to drill shallow wells.

TWO MEN Two men chanced to meet at the close of a day. As homeward they slowly were wending their way. The other had been a bit nervous. The other had but what his two hands would bring; Each thought that the lot of the other was best, but the other was not. Fate smiled after years, and their lives were reversed. Two men were not happy, two men simply curved. HAUL IT DOWN The following special dispatch was sent out from Richmond, "capital" of the Confederacy. We found it in the informing Post Dispatch: "Richmond, Va., Jan. 12.—The 'stars and bars,' the flag of the Southern Confederacy, is laced side by side with the American standard in the grouping of allied flags decorating the armory of the Richmond Grays, one of Virginia's famed state guard regiments. "Throughout the South, it is reported here, there is a general disposition to place the Southern Confederacy standard with the flags of the United States and the entente powers." "A general disposition" there seems to be to revive the rag of secession and place it side by side with emblems that stand for progress, liberty and the common destiny of men the world over. The tri-color of France and the Union Jack might well refuse the breeze if the stars and bars—the stars of shame and bars of slavery—should be placed beside them by disloyal hands. While to entwine the flag of the dead Confederacy with the Red, White and Blue that Grant hoisted above Richmond in '65 is a crime that the government should not tolerate and that every loyal citizen should condemn and rule. When Grant took over the sword of Lee under the apple tree in lower Virginia, he cut through the bars and put out every star in the emblem of secession, slavery and immorality. And now, when our nation is at war, and the call is to all, and not to a section; when it is Liberty pleading to us to save her from the wreck of war and the shock of battlefields, even to show the flag under which Jefferson Davis sought to tear down our government and make our constitution but a "scrap of paper" is too vulgar for easy patience. Fifty years, we know, is but a moment on the clock of progress, but that short season is time enough to instruct the barbarous South that slavery is dead, and that the cause for which the South and Lee stood against the stars of God is, like Hector's pup, a corpse with all the inglorious past. The stars and bars—stars of shame and bars of slavery—is an emblem of the wretchedness that carried Lincoln to his grave. To exhibit that sign anywhere in this nation, particularly in time of war, is an insult to the sons of all Union soldiers and an offense to every Negro who wears the uniform of his country and offers himself to the cause of liberty. Haul down the stars and bars. Haul it down in Richmond and everywhere through the South. Already the South has been left too much to its wicked idols. There is but one flag—"THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER." The President's Message A Speech, Indeed! The effort in Atlanta to raise $15,000 for a Race Y. M. C. A. was marked, upon the word of the press, by more than ordinary circumstances. To read the procedures in connection with the campaign one might believe that Atlanta did get in hailing distance of religion during the voluble sojourn of Brother Sunday. J. K. Orr, who is much of a man in his home town, got off this one: he whom we approached refused to give. One and all realized the grief that the situation will mean for Atlanta. They gave freely and they gave generously. One of the things parts about it, too, was the fact that the subscribers were not told to any creed or church. Our Hobrew friends and the Catholics were not told to give. As a patriotic civic proposition, they saw what it meant." Mr. Orr is white and rich. Perlaps Mr. Benjamin Jefferson Davis and Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson, big lights in a dark country, could get Mr. Orr and Hobrew and Catholics friends to go in on a protest against the Jim Crow elevators in Atlanta office buildings. That would be practical Christianity. And maybe Mr. Orr will help in an effort to provide decent school facilities for Race children in Atlanta. Christ would like that, too. Government Control WHEN THE GOVERNMENT assumed control of the railroads last week general satisfaction was expressed all around, for it was vital to the national interest that the roads should render the highest service of which they are capable. It is important that the systems are operated as a single unit with one directing head, there can be no trouble has been, the past year, and especially since we entered the war, in the need necessary in transferring shipments from one road to another. Delays are a side, for the hard and fast laws laid down by the different states, together with the federal government had to be observed. And it must be said to the credit of federal road officials that they made every effort to co-operate with the government, but under the old system it was impossible to bring order out of chaos. The stockholders are assured of their dividends, which might have been eaten up in the rehabilitation of the roads which would have been absolutely uneven to meet the present demands. As it is, the government will spend the millions to do the work that turns the roads back to their former owners after the war closes. President Wilson estimated that he intends cutting down the salaries of high officials, and rallies images of the general employees—a step that will bring comfort to thousands, and harm the economy. We don't expect an answer to the query, "What effect will government control on the 'Jim Crow' cars?" but, to a degree of force, it does seem like an excellent time to wine out all that sort of truth. reality practice what is consistently preached—true democracy. There is reason to reason that their existence—there never was—no reason why a distinction should be made between American citizen. If individuals are ignorant enough to be color prejudiced, an honest business to put its stamp of approval on it, and we have every confidence that will not. Today we have thousands of porters and a handful of other rali- road employees. A year from now we should have a goodly number in every department of the service. Why not? We are helping to pay the freight. While the railroads may never become government property in reality, taking an order or a short time, will amply demonstrate to the public the advantage of such a service. We are so for a better ownership of all public utilities, and the scheme works out beautifully. We are so far ahead in most things, why hang back in this respect? Clean Hands THERE IS SUCH A THING as annoying people and getting on their nerves by keeping quiet. The "talkless" individual is an unknown commodity, known things always command more or less respect coupled with a goodly demeanor. We are not the only ones on the hands—have jumped into the public press or platform to air their views on subjects that vitally concern us, and those few have been able to handle the subject matter in a way to set the other fellow thinking. And we are not the only ones who have jumped over the past, tried to put himself in our place and draw on his own imagination as to what he would or would not do under conditions. The war has wrought many changes; many will follow. We are comfortable with the fact that many of the many given in sheer self-protection, many given as an experiment. However they come we welcome them, take them as a matter of fact, never evincing the you and to spirit. This is why the people who thought they understood and supported us were not the only ones. The Federation of Labor ordered the organization of our workmen into unions and a fuller recognition of unions already formed. Admitting us to the fellowship or to one jump cleared an obstacle that for years had seemed insurmountable. Our entrance, into factories, workshops and every other industry open to man places on an entirely different footing; we become a factor in the economic world to be reckoned with. We become in reality part and parcel of the world. We are not the only ones who things assume their normal state again, means that each and every one must put forth his best effort every hour in the working day and every day in the year. We are on trial; let that thought be ever present to spur us on. We are to be keen and the old rule of the survival of the littest will again hold sway. The door of opportunity is being pushed wider and wider open by the eager crowds of people who had heard of but never saw the promised land and far as the race question goes," chirls a frank editor; he is only admired when every man knows and what but few have the backbone to admit. It isn't our time to talk; we have done too much of that already. We are now engaged in the matter, and too busy to note the mattering things said of us by our erstwhile enemies. Our things are not of literacy surpasses or at least tallies with that of our white brothers. To bring this about is the work of those who have climbed the ladder all or just a few times, and must climb his hand to the man below and help pull him up. We are on the top of the ladder is in sight; just a long pull and a pull altogether and over the top we go. Our Aims Turn to the front page of The Defender and read the calm statements from the pen of Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Always alert, sleepsleep in his devotion to his race and constancy to his country, the militant Roscoe has been here for many years. He has been a hero, the figures are there. The argument is finished. That the attitude of the Race is correctly revealed, and our loyalty is to be questioned by no honest man, and to be dugged only by the dastard, is declared in language as clear as the popular hero. In supporting the aim that might well have been fathered by the gifted pen of Mr. Wilson. Then he sets out the aims of the Race. Of such, who among Americans would deny us a single ambition set down? Not an American, either, unless his blood and bone were fashioned in the womb of slavery. Somehow, as we hear the death cry of race conceit, listen to the strains of mortal music and view the children of Douglas and Booker T. Washington in the war-clothes of their country—somehow, we feel that prejudice in the death paint, slavery about to take the shroud, and freedom is finally to have been achieved. As long as we are needed, we shall gladly go at the call of rulers, but we shall not cease to cry out against the shame and shams of laws and customs until an American is an American—no more, no less. The mighty Roscoe speaks for The Defender. No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles tion. These exemption boards are composed largely of white men and often the most intelligent and reliable men in the communities. These boards, it is fair to say, have performed their duties carefully and efficiently and on account of physical defects or important and worthy of deep consideration at this particular time. In the examinations of their reports the facts reveal that from 20 to 30 per cent of the young men of this country are physically unit for military services; that they are future lawmakers, the future husbands and fathers) is due to ignorance and to neglectiveness. I remember, that these are not our figures; but when you stop to consider the large number of American civilization, and that for every thousand you find from 250 to 300 of them physically unit for militancy, that a large defending flag; that is due to syphilis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis or tonsilular troubles, functional and organic heart disease, underdeveloped teeth, which could have easily been remedied and they taken the time to look after their physical well being, this keeping pace with this mad rush, this well melt, hurry and hustle for money. It is the duty of every individual to carefully prepare or fit himself for those duties he hopes to perform. If he is going to be a lawyer he must spend many years in study, he must give many hours to preparing for that profession in the various courts; and the same is true one wishes to become a physician. There must be many years spent in study, and hours spent in the dissecting room, in the laboratory, in the hospital as interne and assistive genius. This is JOHN H. HARRIS true in any calling or vocation, and one's success in life depends largely upon his physical and mental fitness, with his physical and mental fitness commensurate with his physical ability to be up to the highest point of efficiency it is necessary that man have periodical examinations and that once he has passed these examinations of his machinery looked after before they are worn out. The human machine must be laid up once in a while for repairs, just as any other machinery must be laid up once until the machine begins to knock and rattle and skip and not hit on all the cylinders, but at the first instance of any irregularity of function, may, for example, be caused by the function the wise individual will go and have himself examined by his physician, who to all intents and purposes is his most intelligent, and ascertain is his most likely likelihood of his becoming unfit. Our Colored Boys We are most highly gratified to learn that upon physical examinations made by the various exemption boards and corps that a stumbling blow in the way of a gunshot propaganda that has been allowed for the last fifty years, viz. that "the American Negro, especially the younger men, were full of syphilis, gonorrhea, cholera and various other diseases attributable to alcoholism and bad hygiene." Periodical Examination We have advised for years that those who desire to live long, to those who want to live pleasantly and comfortably, go and submit themselves to the care of the blood vessels in four months or six months. In these examinations we advise that you have your heart carefully examined, and your heart disease is very insidious in its early stages. After taking one unwares, he may have a little fullness, a little shortness of breath, his "wind," as he calls it, and a slight pain in the chest or after eating, or after a little exertion, or after the stairs; and at the bottom of all this it may be the beginning of my carditis or degeneration of the heart to serious trouble and a disastrous ending. We urge that you have these periodical examinations made, at which time we insist on having your heart carefully tested, periodically at a certain definite date, periodically on that lung troubles slip upon a man and often before he is aware of it his whole health is undermined, whereas, when we test made, kidney pressure test made, kidney pressure may be enabled to detect any trouble and ward it off. When examined, your weight should be taken and noted, your blood pressure should be taken, your blood pressure may be taken of the blood pressure the character of the blood vessels should be carefully noted. Any venereal taint in the blood vessels may be noted that venereal diseases are often the result the real cause of many physical ailments, such as rheumatism, heart disease, disease of the blood vessels, are often attributable to syphilis or to syphilis infection. In fact, we are relently informed to some of or all the best physical examinations at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, the training camp for officers, were made by our Colored boys: that less than one-third of the officers among the Colored young men is among the white, and that venerable disease and tuberculous diseases in the young men are at Rockford, where there is a number of young Colored men, that the physical examinations compared with the instances were superior. Negro Coming Into His Own We have been reading the report of the exemption boards on the various physical defects and "unfitts" found in the very flower of American civilization. ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY next week The Chicago Defender introduce H. W. Allison Sweeney, Rev. Slas X. Floyd of Augusta, DON'T MISS IT-ITS' GREAT! Democracy Betrayed by the South Section 2 of Article XIV, of the Constitution of the United States provides that: "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, representatives in congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state or the members of the legislature thereof is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall be to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state." This provision of the Constitution, together with the Fifteenth Amendment, indicates that the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of "race, color or previous condition of servitude," has been nullified by the laws of government administration withdrew the federal troops from the southern states. For forty years the right of Negro citizens to vote in the South as been denied and the penalties provided by the state have never been enforced. No south state has ever suffered a reduction in its representation through its refusal to vote, although the provision of the Constitution is mandatory upon congress. This over-representation which the South has held for more than a generation owes to the Northern Democrats, the owes to the southern states from a punishment which crates in general have deemed a gross infringement upon the sovereign right of every state to regulate its own life and its property, the southern states are now preparing to impose in such infringement and to nullify the principle of local self-government to which the Democratic party has tenuous control. Their time of Jefferson. Their senators and senatives in congress have already voted for such nullification in the resolution submitting to the legislatures of the southern states, the prohibition amendments to the Constitution of United States, and practically all of the southern legislatures are expected to ratify it. The votes of the southern senators and representatives this resolution could not have been submitted; without the votes of the southern legislatures the amendment cannot be passed; if it comes, will be imposed by the legislature which have turned their backs us squarely upon their ancient principles of government as the Russian Bolsheviks, and upon their actions upon the obligations of democracy. When that day arrives the South can expect no more help from Northern Democrats in resisting the enforcement of the Amendments. The cry, "No Force Bill! No Negro Dominion!" will fail upon deaf ears. If the South is not going to accept the government that regulates the personal basis of the American people, it must accept a centralized government that controls the franchise and all that pertains heraldly. Before many years have passed the inevitable swing of the political pendulum will bring about a Republican reelection in the North, a Democratic reelection both in the house and the Senate. When that congress convenes it is certain that another attempt will be made in the South. Southern opposition in the South. Southern opposition has not been agreeable to anybody in the North. Democrat in the North. Chude Kitchen in have been treating country like a conquered province, imposing outrageous burdens of taxation and giving as little as possible in reelection to the northern farmer is fixed by due process of law, but the southern farmer is allowed to charge for his cotton all that he wants, and is demanding more. All these chickens will come home to reepeat some day. Nobody can object to the southern states imposing the most dastatic prohibition when they undertake to rule New York and Pennsylvania and Massachusetts may out and the people of the states may out and the people of the states Democrats have again cut themselves off from the body of Northern Democracy when they demanded that the Northern Democracy must objectly surrender to their views of the institution of human rights, sooner think of surrendering on the issue of personal liberty than on the issue of slavery. It is determined to go ahead with this insensitive policy—if this new sectionalism of prohibition is imposed upon northern and eastern states, the Southern Democrats will have again taken themselves out of the Democratic constitution, whatever they may be concerned with, whatever they may be concerned with New York World. Sunday, Dec. 23, 1917. EDITOR'S MAIL 11 Broad Street, Georgetown, British Guiana, South America, Nov. 20, 1017. — Editor the Chicago Defender; SH—A copy of your splendid paper found its way to me in the far away South America, and I am so pleased with its remarkable improvement that I cannot refrain from sending this message of encouragement. It seems that you are attaching the your journalistic ambitions. Abbott, I like to see a success; and your paper is a decided success. More power to it and the success. Its tone is still that of fearless advocacy of Race rights; its abundant illustrations and wealth of real, live news gives it a value that makes it a compelling read from the files of discriminating readers. I can say without hesitation that I regard the Chicago Defender as one of our finest examples of Rue journalism. The friends here are regularly. The friends here are regularly such literature; it is a pity that they do not get more of it. I do not want to be the next copy, but when it does come, a most cordial welcome. Please present my compliments to your associates be assured of my good will for you and believe me to be yours sincerely. REV, JOSEUH L. GARNER, A. B. Pastor Nazareth Baptist Church and Commissioner National Baptist Convention to British Glana and Barbados. One question has been upon the lips of Lincoln's children since the government took over the railroads—only one question. It is this: Now that the United States will operate the railroads, will Southern states be allowed to continue as common carriers the hog pens for the Race, or will all Americans, paying a like fare, ride in a common coach in Mississippi as well as in Illinois? The Race is Federalist to the core. The serpent of states' rights the Race would crush with the heel of scorn. The theory upon which slavery fed to the full, and upon which slavery drew its last foul breath—states' rights—is the theory of the Jim Crow car, concubinage and lynching today! Turning with eager heart to the Federal Government for relief from hourly ills, the Race turns from the wickedness of the state that shatters and spurs the mandate of the Constitution. And it was the Federal Constitution that gave the Race life and liberty and put the ballot in their hand. Hope was high in the breast of the Race that the vulgarity of the South, as shown in the Jim Crow car, would be ended under Federal control of the railroads. In no department of the government does the line of race or color hold the Race to the black; not in the letter of the law, though in the spirit of the law, as applied by Democratic charlatans, the yoke is heavier today than at any time since Hayes bartered away the sacrifice of Lincoln that power might follow crime. The Negro Academy, embracing in its membership the scholars of the Race, in session at Washington last week, asked President Wilson to take down the Jim Crow signs in Southern trains and let democracy begin at home. The White House was indignant, we learn. The White House is easily insulted and readily indignant when any child of that Lincoln who was shot to death by the powers then and now opposed to liberty and equality asks for bread or protests the stones aimed by tireless hands at his loyal head. The reply to the request was not written upon the parchment of state. No such courtesy was to be shown "insolent blacks." They were beside themselves, so it thought. Such reply as was to be made to this entreaty was intrusted to hands known for their readiness to slay a race and their willingness to stop the march of liberty. This is the reply. It was handed the United Press. It appeared Sunday, January 6, in every daily newspaper in the South. Read it; read it and shudder: (By the United Press) Washington, Jan. 5.—What hopes Southern darkies may have had of riding in "white folks' cars" now that the government is operating them were dispelled tonight. It became officially known that state regulations prescribing "Jim Crow" cars will not be interfered with by the railroad administration. Indeed, all such regulations by state railroad commissions appeared likely to stand, for some time at least, it was said. Southern darkies! And the poor white trash, whose ancestry runs directly to London jails and homes for wayward girls—riding high and saddled well—goes on with one foot on the neck of the Race it has never forgiven for joining Grant's army, and the other on the neck of the white North! The Race will endure the Jim Crow car until the end of it, but the end will not be as long as the beginning, for the guns of the war are shouting against the Huns in Europe and the Red Shirts and Ku-Klux in Dixie. If God takes time to remember Leopold's Belgium, surely He cannot forget a Race of millions, compared to whose cross and suffering in the land of their birth at the hands of their countrymen in time of peace, with the sanction of the state, with the approval of the American brand of Christianity, Belgium is but a fairy tale! Consider the men behind the order. Already you have considered the Democratic party. You know that for three quarters of a century it has been the party of slavery, fraud and profligacy. There are only a few honest men in that party. Such as are found there live in the North. They don't brag of their political association. They know that Southern immoralists control the party that has made all the trouble the country has ever had; brought all the blood, fathered all the dishonor and drawn every tear that has flowed. Measure the men. There are many of them. Offending both the memory of the fathers of the country and the political history of the nation, the crimes of the Democratic party against the Race; the effort to put the Race back into slavery and undo in peace what was done in war—all have received the sanction of those who have risen on the political degradation of the Race. Many undertake the task of making the Race forget their God and Lincoln—neither of whom have they forgotten or will ever forget. Ten years hence we will all wonder that for thirty years a great government allowed one-ninth of its population to be degraded by the Jim Crow car. The Jim Crow car will pass. It is passing now. This news from Washington is its death strangle. And with the Jim Crow car will pass the Democratic party, the Jim Crow party, whose platform is hate. "White folks' cars." What "white folks"? The "white folks" who make trouble on Southern railroads are bootblacks in the civilization of the real white people—the Northerner, whose money, inventive genius, industry, skill and scholarship have made a home for the round-shouldered, improvident breed that infests the South. The Race in Indiana considers itself no better than the Race in Alabama. The "white folks" of Alabama are not as advanced as the white race in Indiana. If, then, the white race in Indiana can ride in cars with those of darker hue, why are separate cars necessary in Alabama? If it is the color and race that offend, why is it in Southern cars Race women nursing white children are allowed by custom and by law to ride in the "white folks' cars"? The Jim Crow car was created for no other purpose than to keep the Race in slavery. And we do not propose to accept the Jim Crow car. We propose to denounce the Jim Crow car as long as authorities approve the Jim Crow car or are silent thereupon. The Jim Crow car to the contrary, let the Race remember that the Stars and Stripes is their flag. They saved it from the dust when the blood that now rules the land was shed in the effort to blot out its Stars and put up the bars instead of th. Stripes. Let us press on across the sea and call on William in the name of the land of our birth, and remember— That God lives, the memory of Lincoln is deathless, and the Republican party, having been in Gethsemane, will now proceed to the mission of making men free!
