All of the work is done by those who are actually building a prison. Their food is of the supper sparse and sauce, stewed eggs and bread and some very appetizing. The men into the dining room where maches and tables are arranged, to music furnished by a thirty pieces. The members which have no other duty except once all day long. Several flame members. Talking is not permeant in the plague, but the men are free to enjoy any other time. The spirit prisoners seem excellent. No one is noticeable, no holding of down. A few looked away as if that they might be recognized as saluted or nodded in a friendliness, and when I learned later members of the 24th had been among the inmates and instruction whatever, so that the salutors, were from men who had not forgotten it. A large number of men of the city was the striking thing. If every other prisoner was one nation of 1,624 one fourth, or race men, or women, who so long were there. He replied that the humble and Washington, prisons. All convictions is for such ordinary breaking and pocketing by incarceration are from Washing-oes, not so large a bad impression than the a button, his secretary appeared, and a few minutes later three men filed in to the room. The warden told them that a representative of the world's greatest newspaper had come to talk with them. He then gave us chairs and left us in the corner of his commodious office to chat undisturbed. Talks With the Unfortunates Stalwart young chaps they were, dressed in grey, men of the type we meet every day, and yet with a quiet manner which bespoke the effect of the training and discipline. We soon became acquainted and were smiling and talking in great manner. One was from New York, another from Elizabeth, N. J., and the third from Savannah, Ga. "How do the people on the outside regard us and what do they think of our being here," was the first eager question. They were told. What message do you wish to send to the Race they were asked. "Tell them, for us, to take an interest in us and our plight, and bring about in some way, through congress, in sary, a new trial or a revision of our sentences. A new trial will probably free us."

Jan. 25.—The an- t that arrangements for the portation of 50,000 common to the United States from to by the employment service department of labor, is causing ideal of comment in this sec- the fact that thousands upon ousands of the Race are available that the people of the South were unqualified for work in the North, owing to the difference in the climatic conditions, still it is now intended to bring men in from the tropics for labor purposes. The percentage of illiteracy among the Porto Ricans is great. It is a well known fact that efficiency and education go hand in hand; therefore it is always that the intended move will not bring the best results, and for that reason it is hoped that the plan will be abandoned and our people be given the chance to fill any void that may form where intelligent labor will be needed. BANK DECLARES DIVIDEND Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 25.-The uncertainty of the war, the exodus of the Race northward or the failure to increase the common labor wages in proportion to the high cost of living, did not prevent the People's Saving Bank & Trust Company from having a most profitable year in 1917, according to the report made by the cashier of this institution, W. D. Hawkins, made during the week before the annual meeting of the stockholders. The bank declared a dividend of 6 per cent, and showed a gain, since Cashler Hawkins took hold in 1913, of more than $30,000. The total resources of the institution at the close of business Dec. 31 was $80,810,34, and it was upon this showing that the 6 members of the bank had made a contribution. The officers of the bank are: J. B. Singleton, president; F. A. Stewart, I. L. Moore, Sr. and R. E. Battle, vice presidents; W. D. Hawkins, cashier; A. M. Townsend, auditor; James Bumpas, attorney, and T. Clay Moore, manager of the real estate department. Farmers' Meeting at Utica Institute Utica, Miss., Jan. 25.—The eleventh annual meeting of the Farmers' Conference was held here last week and the principal address of the meeting was delivered by Prof. Wm. H. Holtzclaw, principal of the institute. He told of the object of the conference and of its progress, the opportunities ahead. Its restlessness the restlessness of the people in the south our loyalty to the country and made a strong plea for education. M. R. Wong is secretary. FREEMAN HAS COAL TIE-UP. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 25.—The Indianapolis Freeman was not published Saturday on account of the shortage of coal. There was a general tie-up in all business last week. Congestion in office made it impossible for coal de- Soldiers from territories governed by France sighting enemy positions. Both of these men have been made officers as a reward for their knowledge and bravery—France knows no color. REV. LUCAS CHOSEN CHAPLAIN Amesville, Ohio, Jan. 25.—The William G. Jewell Son's of Veterans Camp No. 34, Culder, Ohio, held its annual installation of officers at the G. A. R. Hall Thursday evening, Jan. 25. The camp is composed mostly of white members. The Rev. J. E. Lucas has the honor of being chat in the gleaned that in spite of injustice and brutal handicaps the Race is getting on its feet. The white visitors delivered warm addresses of interest and commendation. The addresses of Capt. W. T. Sleehan, editor of the great Montgomery Advertiser, and of Crawford Johnson, the wealthy leader of the thrift campaign, were unusually en Simmons said: "Do you ask me why I do fullest rights for my phone reply? I offer as my request, Booker, T. Washlin them as proof beyond right to enjoy the fruit of Replying to Crawford." (Continued) He Is Seated at the State Convention With Full Powers Despite Protests Nashville. Tenn. Jan. 25.—Again Robert R. Church Jr. political leader of Tennessee, has wiped up with the lily white gang, in whose wake has come all the woe the Republican party in this state has ever suffered. A meeting of the Republican state commission came on Wednesday, Mr. Church sat as a full member, two or three proxies given him by several members of the committee. One little foe by the name of Farleigh, whom Mr. Church and Wayman licked to a "fare-you-well" in last year's election, came up from Memphis with Harry True's proxy. He said that he did not care for a seat on the committee if Mr. Church had a seat there. The reply he got from the leaders will last him until the day of his death. Littleton, mayor of Chattanooga, Gore, national committeeman; Taylor, state chairman, and Securion White, all joined in informing Farleigh, who is suffering a severe case of offence, that his absence was courteous more than his company, and that not only could he go, but they did not care if he never came back. In fact, they told him in so many words that they wished he's never come back. The leaders agreed that Mr. Church had the only organization in the state, because he was away, he was to be considered in the added county and the Tenth district, where he controls more votes than all the lilies combined. Mr. Church returned home by way of Tuskegee. He said that he was going back to grease up the wheels of the famous Lincoln League, whose 5,000 members follow him as one man. It has been a long fight, but the recitation won by Mr. Church shows what can be done if you keep at it long enough. Mr. Church will join the leaders of the Race who will march on the Republican national committee at St. Louis on Feb. 12, and ask them what about the seat to which Perry W. Howard has been-elected, and which the lily whites in Mississippi are, asking the national committee to rob him of. Secy's Baker to Speak for Fisk Univ. Philadelphia, Jan. 25—Secretary of War Board, he will speak at the meeting to be hold here Monday. Jan. 28 in interest of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. Former Mayor Blankenburgh will also speak and Gov. Brumbaugh will preside. SEES GRANDMOTHER Centerville, La., Jan. 25.—Arthur Harris, Houston, Tex., arrived here this week to visit his grandmother, Mrs. Georgia Ann Baldwin. It has been eight years since he saw her. World's Greatest Institution Welcomes Host of Visitors Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 25.—Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, the eminent educational leader, said that this year's Tuskegee conference will be memorable because of the speech made by Roscoe Simmons if for nothing else. But it will be remembered for other reasons also, although that speech will never be forgotten. The twenty-seventh annual session of the most compact organization of the Race brought to the famous university one of the largest delegations that ever gathered here, on Jan. 16, 17 and 18. Teachers, farmers, preachers, publishers by the hundreds came, talked, conceived didn't want to go away. It was one of the most enthusiastic sessions in all the history of the conference. Dr. Moton "At Home" Both the address of Dr. Robert R. Moton and the declarations of the conference set a new mark. Dr. Moton, who wears with power and dignity the mastice o. Booker T. Washington as head of the educational forces of the Race, made a stirring address and won the oath of obl. Having been acclaimed, he felt sure of his ground.) He sounded "forth the trumpet" in his annual address. While speaking up for peace in the south, and everywhere else, he also spoke up for justice in the south, as well as everywhere else. His handling of both the farmers and workers' conference elicited the keenest appreciation and present. His name is greatly praised. In his annual address Dr. Moton made this significant and impressive statement: "We as farmers, teachers, preachers and leaders" generally "should keep clearly and definitely in mind the fact that the race problem in America is going to be worked out south of the Mason and Dixon line, and, firmly believe that that is what we have to have an amiable adjustment of all of the fundamental phases of race relationships in our country, north and south, and who knows but that God is using America as His great laboratory from which He will teach the rest of the world that it is possible for peoples of different races, creeds, colors and sizes of population, political and otherwise to adjust, the civic and social relationships in such a way as will make each respect and strive to hold others rather than hate and endeavor to hinder the others' progress? Armstrong, Cravath, Ware, Frissel and others as well as our great leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the first African American, have made notable contributions to the just adjustment of these problems, and we as Negro farmers must play a very important part." White and Race Men Report All day Race farmers, in language more persuasive than correct, told of their struggles and of their progress; how much land they had bought; how their crops had been diversified; how their school terms had been prolonged and how they were getting on in general. From every report it could be PRINCIPAL MOTON Head of the Grand School Which Booker T. Washington Founded courage. An Epoch-Making Speech The night session of the first day will be memorable in the history of Tuskegee. That night Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Tuskegee famous product, a made speech that set, the house on fire. Almost 3,000 people sat under his magic spell. The greatest demonstration ever given any speaker here was accorded him. At times, the cheering and applause were beyond any sort of control. None seemed to enjoy the marvelous eloquence and epigrams of the great orator more than the array of white people present, to whom he made his plea for his Race. In presenting Col. Simmons to the audience Dr. Moton, of whom the orator is a devoted friend and supporter, said that the speaker was America's foremost orator and the popular figure of the Race. Proofs of Equality Turning to the white people, Col. Drastic Order Leaves 2nd Ward Citizens Unprotected Monday the Stanton avenue police station on Thirty-fifth street, opposite Rhodes avenue, closed by order of the police department. The police department is concerned, there is no Second ward now, and the very administration that the Second ward Dr. Bundy to Be Given Bond By J. M. Batchman St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 35—The St. Louis branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held its annual meeting at Brea Presbyterian church Wednesday night and after listening to reports from its delegates who attended the New York meeting re-elected the old officers for another. The delegates presented their report of the New York sessions through Geo. B. Vashon, who kept the closest attention of his audience for an hour. It was shown that the St. Louis branch had attracted national interest for its creditable standing of the East St. Louis Hot situation. During the past few members were sequestered, its vote to continue the trial was for a larger membership until February. Charles A. Pittman, chairman of the board of directors, made an exhaustive report of the year's work, which will appear in the local press in full. The witness report showed that there had been over $4,000 raised for the refugee and riot fund by the local organization and that over $1,000 still remains in the organization expects a long, hard fight in the riot controversy and needs a great deal more money. They are arranging bond for Dr. Bundy and the word is out that he will be on the streets in the near future. It is believed the thing can be done most any time his advisers deem it to his best interests to do so, but they are making no foolish moves. The meeting, Wednesday night was on Monday, and the organization. Much spirit was manifested and just enough contest for the offices was allowed to creep out to make the meeting enjoyable. Fighting for Honors Hurts There is strong feeling in this that no fighting should be indulged by those interested in the welfare of the ten convicted Colored men who are in the penitentiary, or those working for the interests of Dr. Bundy. The work is large enough for all those seeking to do an honest part to receive the gratitude of the public for all the do. Controversies along this line are deplorable and hurt the innocent to whom all say they desire to Seeking self-laudation and was dirty linen should be held up by Race until as much justice as possi is secured through the courts. Another Riot Victim Amos Davls, 33 years old, died at home last week at 1705 Division's East St. Louis, as a result of wounded on July 2, and he was fined to his bed until his death coroner held an inquest. The Second ward, with its 15,000 voters of the Race, is denied the prestige of a police station. No other ward would stand for such a move and the voters of the Second are going to fight it to the last trench. The Defender does not go around finding a new police station, but it seeks justice for all races, color and demands to know where a move has been made as far as ward is concerned. **Prey for Police** People of the Race are and have been easy marks at all times for the police and easy marks for persecution, wrongful arrests, lawless raids on respectable persons, frameups, pickups and sweat-box methods. These form only a part of the impositions. A more prestige, and sending men and women over to police stations in other wards, where the official troubles of their own and have no time for those of a darker hue. With a police station in our Second ward, the unfortunate could call up their friends; also they would have some measure of redress and protection. The Defender appeals to the loyal citizens of this ward to start out now and seek those in power, have the station reopened and then we can live as citizens should. NEW ARMY DIVISION NEW ARMY DIVISION Washington, D. C., Jan. 25.—Organization of a second division of the National Army is well under way, was learned officially today. Surp units of men from both the National Guard and the first and second divisions are used forming the new division, which will be designated it division. Already plans have formulated to bring two infantry units into it. Complete array have been announced or at these companies having together imme- their entire camp.

Jackson's Record of Race Service Observer'sContinued Observations Last week we continued some of the many reasons why DePriest should be rejected at the polls on his discredited public record and his known disloyalty to his Race and his base intolerable of his ward. We are now to consider the main and dominant facts in Jackson's official record for his Race and state, which assure his nomination as Alderman of the Second Ward. Kille Race Discrimination Major Jackson has a brilliant and clean record of service for his Race in the legislature at Springfield at a time when he were offered to degrade and stigmatize the Race in the eyes of the country. During his three terms here, he held the position of chair of the Board and to command the respect of all citizens. Kills Jim Crow Bills Against Race Soon after Jackson's election he became the Chair of the Crow Bills directed at our Race and arrested the progress of the anti-intermarriage bill introduced by him to the Committee on Miscellaneous Subjects of the Senate and then killed this anti-intermarriage bill in the committee room. He defeated the two anti-intermarriage bills introduced by him. Apparring before the Judiciary Committee for our Race, he succeeded in having the bills stricken from the He defeated the infamous Full Crew Bill in the House which had for its part reinstated on railroads in Illinois and thus routed the strongest lobby for the passage of the bill, the door of the Legislature. He stopped the progress of the new marriage bill and caused it to die on the floor of the House. He colored" and which compiled Colored people to state their color before granted a marriage license. He also defeated the certification of three names for appointment, under which the race was selected in the civil service of the state. He aided in the defeat of the Zoning Bill in the House and to segregate the Race in renown to houses in residential territory in Chicago. Jackson's Constructive Service Jackson has constructed bills without a dissenting vote granting $50,000,000 to commemorate in Illinois the fifteenth anniversary of Race emancipation, committing to the program of the Race for fifty years. He passed an amendment to the Ed Green Civil Rights Act in order to burden the need in semicircles and providing a penalty for its violation. He had success in the passage of the Rights Law putting the Municipal Tuberculosis Santiamur under civil service, so that a repetition of the Dr. Tuberculosis Act would be the humiliation of our Race. He again amended the Civil Service law so that employees could not be discharged on the basis of their race. He issued the following order in the protection of the Race in the horrible East St. Louis tragedy in May, and he remained until the order was obeyed. "East St. Louis, June 5, 1917—Members of the Race were forced to appeal to Representative R. R. Jackson, state attorney, to oppose owing to the treatment they were being subjected to by soldiers on guard, 'Fighting Bob' got busy and as a result the following order was issued: East St. Louis; "Commending officer directs that all whites appearing to be laborers be searched for arms. If found a weapon he is to be searched under arrest and sent to the state Negroes attending to their business not to be molested in any way, nor embarrassed by being searched, only the white laborers, the white laborers, are to be searched. No discrimination whatever to be made because of color as regards searching,." Col. Fourth Ill. Command. Twenty-Fourth Grand Monster Reception and Ball GIVEN BY THE.

FOR HAIR THAT WILL STAY STRAIGHT USE PALM CREAM AND PALM OIL The only safe and guaranteed straightener on the market. Say, 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; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our 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 men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the world. Palm Cream is our own goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods. 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. Special rates to barbers.

You can buy a full supply that you can begin work with, at once. You are agents. Send all money by Money Order to: many Place representatives who had been sent to Springfield. Jackson's clear cut appearance at all times, his display of fitability, tact and his determined courage in winning his seat over a bitter contest, won for him the admiration and respect of the enlistment membership of the House and Senate. He had the confidence and good will of McKinley, the first president above reach and the unsullied record of his predecessors and returned with the honor of his white associates in the service and gratitude of all who know of his unrivalled record of noble and disgraceful service for his Races and for his state. Interest of Race Demand Jackson The mistakes of DePriest made many enemies for the Race in Chicago. The calls upon to take political control of the city were a rejection of both Aldermen. In Chicago, the Race occupies the most strategic position in our people in the United States. The Race lost all political power at the polls. The political hope of the Race is in the eyes of the Second Ward, the eye of the Third Ward, and the ward the action the Race is about to take in selecting another Alderman from the remaining control of this political division. Confirm the charges of the south that the Race has no morals and is incapable of self-government. To reject DePriest, the Race has possesses the same political and other standards as other Races. Under the stigma which DePriest has placed upon the redemption and future political curry of the Race demand the nomination of that proven champion of his Race. MAJOR ROBERT R. JACKSON.

Workers' Conference The features of the workers' conference at Davis of Virginia, Supervisor Sibley of Alabama and that delivered by Dr. Sibley are the education of the Race is a monument to fifty years of educational progress and important documents of his kind ever imprinted. Discussion of the report was led by W. James of Hampton, Bishop George W. Clark of Hampton, Work editor of the Negro Year Book, and Dean Imes of Philips Hall. The declarations of the conference unanimously adopted. They follow: Declaration of Principles The Tuskegee conference, through its twenty-seventh annual session, will focus on the dignity and participation made by the Nebraska since America has entered the war. Notwithstanding our many handicaps, we have the receptive to the Red Cross and other war relief organizations and this conference voices the expression of the earnest desire of the Nebraska to help the stricken and country in the great suffering is bravely making for liberty and justice. Whether on the farms, in the mines, or behind the line or in the trenches, we pledge ourselves in our shire. To the Nebrero farmers of the south the conference repeats what it has been years: Stay on the soil, buy land, improve your farming, diversify your crops, raise and save more foodstuffs, and make your home more comfortable, so that your children will be contented and will not leave the farms, improve your health and give more support to your churches. "With reference to' the farm labor situation, the indications are that in the north and in the industrial centers which are rapidly developing in the south, there is a demand for labor, and that efforts will be made to continue to attract a "This conference notes with pleasure the increasing amount of money that being spent by states and counties to facilitate to aid in erecting Rosenwald school buildings. It is also, gratifying to note how the white people of local communities and the state legislature are collaborating with the federal government under the Smith-Lever act and the Smith-Hughes act to educate the Negro on the farm and to make of him a better citizen. "This conference is pleased to note the increasing number of 'instances' of the diverse community and 'black people' of various communities coming together and are having a better understanding with reference to common interests, and are cooperating with each other in problems and meeting the difficulties which this world war has placed upon the south." Throughout the conference the spirit of Booker T. Washington was always present and every speaker, white and black, paid tribute to his memory.

Since that time there has been many letters sent to the Old Roll Top Desk commenting upon the article, and in every instance the performed writing has coincided with the writer's idea that these affairs should be discontinued. The following extracts from these communications might prove of interest to many of the readers of this section of the Defender: "We certainly agree with you in the stand which you have taken in regards to the "benefits" which had become so frequent in Chicago. It is a shame that a certain class of "show folks" will make money in comfortable bunches and throw it away (without any thought of the arrival of the day when they will surely need). Your fund of personal help may afford you to be supporter members of the profession could meet with the support of all, and you can rest assured that we, as an act, will be with you along that line."—The Musical Byrons. "The article published under the head of 'Hear Ye' a couple of weeks ago should meet with the approbation of all members of the profession; I am that something alone along the line of organization ample actors, and that if you are crieled by anyone at the stand which you have taken it will be only by a feel who had hoped to get a bit of charity to assuage the results of their work [Johnsens]—J. Hucker of Knickerbocker, fred.** "An article under the head of 'Hear Ye' covered a thing which has grown to be a nuisance all over the country, especially in Chicago. If the publics compelled to hear the burden of poverty among the spendthrift members & the profession, it will be only a matter of a short time, all will be held in shame at being classed as professional paupers. We hope that you will make goodion the idea of demanding that thecars not be used any more for that purpose. Keep the good work up, even if sife of the sore-heads make a show the better class of actors are "I was not surprised when the article appeared in the Defender a few weeks ago, and Cooper, of Cooper & Robinson, who was playing Minneapolis, Minn., at the same time that I was there, and I discussed the article at length. It certainly is of a character which should make the performers sit up and take notice. As for myself, if the One ever arrives when I do be unable to make it a performance but be after a job doing something else, instead of looking for aid from the people who have already supported me by attending the theater at which I have worked."—Blondy Robinson. There are too many of these letters for me to use extracts from them all, but the above will show the tempo of the majority of them; that there has never been a woman performer tendered a benefit speaks well for the idiosyncrasy of the profess, still the majority of them get much less pay than the me.

A special feature of the evening was a stereopticon demonstration on "How Character Manifests Itself." by Prof. Charles Munifesis, the founder and promoter of the school's introductory remarks by Miss Kathryn M. Johnson, which was made lucid by stereopticon views showing the spenid work done by the school in New York and a number of the graduates, both white and Colored, who are now working in the school. The are best suited, as a result of their being able to "know themselves" through the course in mental sciences. At the close remarks were made by in the result of pure and undiluted carelessness. I will cite you an insistence of carelessness and discountess combined that inexperienced man, we were standing in the fog, the crowd later, and it was unusually crowded, when suddenly I felt such an exerting pain in my right arm that I cried out with affright, and upon ascertainment, I was surprised to find a man standing there in dense crowd with a lighted cigar in his hand, and my arm still bears the scar of his carelessness, and, to add to this pain, when we demonstrated him, he formed us curtly that I had no business with my arm in the way. Yet another instance happened but recently. I had been compelled to stand in a crowded street car, and upon return my chirpin spoke for itself when I covered a large idea had been burgled in the collar of my fur coat by a lighted cigar held in the hand of a careless woman, who was crossing the street. Carelessness is not difficult to the male sex alone, for, notwithstanding we have an ordinance against women wearing long hats in their hats, yet an every-day occurrence, for some people, for example, to job, scrutinize or decided city in the through the carelessness of some woman with a fondness for an extra long hatpin. I felt forethought on our part would save quite a bit of discomfort to others, and courtesy costs nothing, but is worth much. The young women ticket sellers in the city were subjected to many important remarks, and it is not a position to be envied, for there are patrons from every walk of life, and if things do not meet with their approval in every way they vent their remarks against the young women. The conductors on our street care are in a no less enviable position, for so many of our young people, on nearing their destination, will walk to the rear of the car and stand, sheeting the conductor to let them off, when the conductor is they have never pushed a button on the street. Then if the cops do not stop the conductor receives an unmerited share of abuse. It is just as easy and much more pleasant to be amiable and congenial those with whom you come in contact, and no matter what your surroundings, if you teach yourself to be courteous from all, and if you practice being careful you will prevent direful experiences for others.

Roscoe Simmons Helps the "pure in hearts" to Cole rate (Special to the Defender) New Orleans, Jan. 25—It is estimated that more than a thousand people were burned away by the Peleian Temple Monday night when Roscoe Simpson spoke there. The biggest crowd that New Orleans ever turned out here greeted the famous editor. And, while he may have been burned where else, New Orleans is satisfied that he did his best here. The demand was so great to see and him. But he was compelled to speak to him. The man was a great throng, heard and general him and tried to tear him to pieces as he was leaving for a train. He was Memorable Man. The great man thrilled behind control when in the midst of COL immune address, after he had made the announcement, he line bank, father of the pres- t of the Trustee Bank and Trust pany, jumped from his seat and went to the orator. The influence woke up. "The occasion that brought Col. Simmons 'was the celebration by the Pythian people, the payment of a cent of indebtedness against the great temple and the payment of $200,000." This is said to be the largest building owned by the Race. One Man's Vision The Building was erected under the leadership of S. W. Green, grand chancellor and supreme chancellor, and leader of the Pythiaforceers the world over, who had been so much as is given to few men. The mayor, the president of the bank that financed the loans, as Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Northwestern, who spoke for the Pythiaforce all voiced unstinted applause for the leader, and noted chancellor. When Mr. Green presented Col. Simmons to the great audience there were cheers enough to last through many successive meetings. All the cheering was almost continuous hundreds of people stood up for more than two Mayor, Perkinn, who is very popular with the Race, and was called by the Race here "the best living Lover, has a unique reputation. He is always present in the opening minutes of his occasions, but a degree of close of his address. In this occasion he addresses the address of the Simmons and the enthusiastic the people and was the last man to leave the building. Newer and Better. "What does this building present? What does this occasion present?" said Col. Shinmura. "This building Col. Reiss testified to. This building a mauser and the better saxophon and in the unchanging laws of God. The occasion is another witness born in the multitude of mysterious ways of youth are again upon us. Upon this place where tonight we make merry all the men and gather to the shackles, the price stood an auction block and a slave.

And when the last shot is fired and the Eagle comes back bearing it, the Eagle must be one law, and its powers shall protect all Americans, and its glories shall be like the sun, for they shall take no thought of the color of "It Shall Be Written" Col. Simmons went into the recent decision of the Supreme court, that routed the segregation law. He did not forget that he was in the state of California. "Let me remind you that in the North and South our friends are growing in grace as well as in numbers," he said. "Do you recollect the recent segregation decision? Of the Supreme Court, we notified the nation that the end was coming. God got the pen ready. They chose among themselves the author to speak for all. They chose a former slaveholder, a son of Louisiana, Ed. Simmons, to hand, and traced again in letters bold the unerring story of justice. "Two facts are with me tonight. The first is that the Supreme court is composed entirely of white Americans. The other is that the pen and the parchment are still intact in that is not written in a field in which he is be written in tears. What is to be written to unchain me, and all, shall be written."

He was introduced by Hon- ter L. Cohen, crowded with an en- tastic throng.

Horrible Odor of Scorching Flesh Stifles Onlookers; Authorities Inactive --- Hazelhurst, Miss., Jan. 25.—A man composed of the best citizens of this city, headed. It is said, by the father, Veronica Wilsh (white), who was alleged to Tuesday evening, Jan. 16, took Sim Edwards from the county jail and burned his body to a crimp. According to ascertained Edwards was alleged to have been a team of mules and his body placed upon a pile of wood and fed to the flames. Ram Willis, father of the girl, placed his left foot down Edwards' left foot and from ear to ear and then saturated the blood to kerosene and applied the torch. The odor of the burning flesh was so mourning that spectators were forced to avoid the terrible smell. Edwards tortured his limbs under the burning flames until they dropped from his body one by one. His head was moved to the floor, and he, who placed it upon a stick and poured it at the dogs who were barking violently at the red flames. Edwards was taken intermittently from the fire during burning, still alive, screening terribly his body, and more kerosene poured on his charred form and he was pushed back into the flames to await the end. White Man's Crime Vera Willis, it is said, left home early Tuesday morning on a shopping tour. Those familiar with the situation claim that she was admitted by a certain white man in the town to be obtained. She had been seen talking to this man, and in the course of their conversation she abruptly dismissed himself under form of violence of what she had evidently said to him. This man, whom the authorities have failed to locate, is said to have left town shortly after the news reached the city of the finding of the Willis. This, coupled with the woods, murdered. This, coupled with the strange white man was seen walking with a girl who resembled Vera Willis late Tuesday evening in the vicinity where the body was found, has a tendency to defeat the evidence that Sam Edwards was guilty of the crime.

Abbott called a meeting of the Republican party Tuesday, Jan. 22 at the office of the Chicago Democrat, to discuss the object of the meeting was to discuss the ways and means of furthering the cause of Hon. Perry W. Howard, Jackson, Miss, who is seeking to be seated after being elected a committeeman, is on the verge of being ousted and denied representation by the "illy white" element of Mississippi. Editor Abbott acknowledges the necessity of combining their every effort in the attempt to have Hon. Perry Howard seated, and as a result of his plea a committee was appointed to soothe the committee from Illinois. William Hale Thompson, in behalf of Mr. Howard's case, the committee is to wait on the mayor this week relative to the appointment of his reply will be published. Indeed, the case of Hon. Perry W. Howard should command the attention of every influential person, especially the Republican party, and no palms should should be tainted the support of your national committeeman to have Mr. Howard executivesly seated. In the event that the committeeman, the "Tily whites" of the south will have gained an important victory; one which will deal a death to the members of our race who aspires for the nomination of a national committee. It is the purpose of the men who composed the meeting called by Editor Abbott to block every vote in the nomination of the south to establish an unchecked foothold in the national committee.

The Peerless Slung Soil College Glee Club, rendered musical selections during the evening. Every seat was occupied when the church's congregation invited audiences ever assembled in Baltimore having come together to participate and patriotic support of the KORGELMANS. Mr. Scott Speaks Mr. Scott, who came to Baltimore by special detail from Secretary of War Baker, upon request of the Colored Army, told me that the Defense, was warmly received when he arrose to speak, following Dr. Lyon's eloquent address of introduction, and spoke, in part, as follows: Mr. Chairman, of the Army, country—your country and mine—has joined hands with other militant nations and governments to make the world safe for democracy, and to make the United States a great government is expecting that every man, woman and child will do his or her full part. No longer are men and women doled out their bit—they must do more than they must now give, if it be necessary, to the last ungrudging ounce of their energy and their skill in warfare, and to the last ungrudging ounce of their energy and their skill in warfare, and that they may not in the end be called upon to give, not their bit, but their all. "We are engaged in a great struggle, to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, shall perish from the earth: If we abandon our purpose, national unity must prevail." "Sectionalism must be relegated to the rear; class feeling must be obliterated; a great surging common willingness to work north, the south, the east and the west; sectional feeling. Neither classes, nor masses, nor races, nor creeds, nor the color of men's skin, are to be counted at a time like this, when a nation is at war. Sectionalism demands a shaking of all, of except except patriotic zeal, if we are to conquer. Unity of feeling, community of interest, must dominate, if we are to dominate our fullest power and achieve that victory for which we are struggling. "The Maryland Council of Defense, composed of white men and white women and colored men and Colored men, has this core mission: to these basic Ideas. Its idealized purpose is to utilize the extremist limit, if necessary, every resource of money and labor, to build a uniting unit of the population of no little not to be taken into full account during these days of national peril." Although thought the banquet was tenderly hosted by Mr. Scotts' honor at Pythian Castle, the executive committee of this diary began in chapel of Charles Shipley, a caterer. Following the meeting Dr. Mrs. Ernest Lyon invited some to attend a rehearsal at Baltimoreian meet Mr. Scott's residence, which time Mr. Shipley again served most delightful repast.

SPORTING NOTE LIGHTNING FIVE ON CARLTON 'Y' DEFEAT THE VANDAL A. C. Labor Day 2013. B. J. Pierce, N. Y., Jan. 25. — The Carlton Y. M. C. A. on just Wednesday joined hands with the movement of the Welfare League and staged a successful attraction at Labor Day 2013. The goal was to the work among "Our boys in camp." It matters not how pressed the Carlton Y. M. C. A. may be with the course nor how reeling its course never lose sight of the fact that Y. M. C. A. work is with a mission. Its mission is to extend the work to the "Boys" in camp that are not in the active service. With this idea uppermost, the public was invited to attend this good cause and have turned out in large numbers to further this effect regardless of the attraction offered. The thing in return for what was asked of the public. So on this occasion, it brought one of the leading eastern teams of the C. C. Sea Shore Sport Boys of Atlantic, X. J. The audience was treated to the finest exhibition of clean, fast, strategic play that have been seen on any court in three years. Ework up to date. Manatee Vaughn. Vaughn took up the role. A fight they had on hand with a fast aggregation that knew the game; one that had confidence as a result of many victories, whereas Carlton had lost games in a row. No retreat could be allowed, so as ordered an advance. So pleased were the players with the order that they behaved like an entirely new team; such singer, dash and endurance had not been on tap all season. The Arden team fought every inch of the way. With the team 9-8, Roy Peyton was removed for personal fouls and W. Scott put in. The score at the end of the first half was announced Vandal 13, Carlton 12. Gone was the foul. Vaughn was not allowed after the game, Vaughn, because no rule could be found to cover the point for which Carlton was penalized. Carlton scored twice as many field goals in this half as he did in the previous penalty. Carlton for eleven fouls. Howard caged joke for the Vaughn fouls. Again in the second half the Vandals scored point after point on fouls and appeared to have the game seewell through with some remarkable distance shots by Windsor Scott, Garcia and Hilbert Brown. Both teams were guarding so closely that every play was broken up in the territory of the long-distance work. Final score, Carlton 28, Vandall 25. Carlton Y.M.C.A.— Field- Foul- goals, goals, Pts. R.

Joe Wolcott, Once Champion, Is Now a Ten Pin Setter New York, Jan. 11.—One of the saddest events recorded in pugilistic history is the meteoric rise and fall of Joe Wolcott, once her-helped the King of the Prize Fighters and a terror to all ambitious contestants for welter-weight and heavyweight laurels. Joe today is setting pins in one of New York's second class bowling alley, content with the meager salary now paid, him. Wolcott is rapidly showing his age and in the autumn of his life the pange of poverty seem to be fastening upon him. Years ago he was an attraction when seen upon public thoroughfares, but now he passes unnoticed except by a few. In his best days he barred nobody, foared nobody, made money with ease and spent it as he made it. Once the people of Everett, Mass., where he lived, talked of running, him for alderman. He was born in the West Indian Islands. His rise was rapid, likewise his fall. Hampton Defeats Howard Bx Wm. Everett Clack Hampton, Va., Jan. 25—The Hampton Institute basketball team met and defeated the Howard University quinnipiac in gymnastics of Jan. 25. The game was played both sides, but the Hampton boys proved too fast for the heavy Howard. The game began with a rush. Howard pocketed the first goal and seemed to play the Seissens off their feet in the first few minutes. They succeeded in hitting a car at the end of the Howard team's favor.

Springfield "Y" Defeated Cheinidian, Jun. 25—Even though Center street boys had the aid of Trailmaster McAdoo, they were unable to stop the rush of the Nixal Streets last Friday, being sent down defens 30 to 20. Arriving in tow maroon and white warriors were just ready for light. Knowing that they were without the services of the wrecking tri—Woody," Gray and Peau—at stake, the boys faltered not but proceeded to do their blit. Springfield's first light team struggled manfully to halt the Queen Cities, and succeeded for just seventy minutes, then power and decently played by the Rubicon. A derrful half, showing a keen eye for circlet, he alone caged more than its team's points. Jackson and worked acted like veterinary again, shaking the Johnson will be a great success on theinate lads after new experience. Captain Mason showed well at guard after a bewildering first half Simms, as usual, kept things going and combed the ball, however, had the eyes which did the work. Springfield has the makings of a fine team and will do its followers credit. While the big team was away the 11th game all the way from their snug confession and severely trounced them 51 to 12. As always, they let "Pat" get away, and the lanky center scored 20 points. The Tris figure this game but a work night, which game will be the pride to the Dayton Rubicon-Invincible game. The Rubicons are white.

I. Taylor used to have their annual squabbles. Now comes basketball and since the intercity still exists. Nothing in Indianapolis can beat Chicago and nothing in Chicago can beat Indianapolis. Thus it is with the Y. M. C. As the legal houston Prisoners Tell Their Story were largely of that godding irritating type which only the poor, southern white, frequently known as the "red-neck," could be small enough to con- tinue, but whose souls of these men, trained as they were, respecting soldiers. There were little real necessity for the presence of these police officials in the camp. Military police made up of non-comissioned officers whose duty was to preserve the city, but not to camp. In the camps. As a rule they are armed here at Houston the Colored military police were stripped of their arms. It is considered likely that had the military police been armed as usual, the city policeman Sparks would never have dared assault Corporal Baltimore, who, acting in his capacity as a military policeman, asked Sparks why he was shapping the face of a Colored man. The camp Sparks promptly beat Baltimore his gun, shot him, and chased him into a nearby house. The other white police man, a partner of Sparks, on re- tiring, is superior later in the day, condemned Sparks' action and said he was wrong. The report that Baltimore had been killed spread rapidly around the camp. The soldiers could hardly believe it. The gathered in groups to discuss the killings, and the officers by some of the holder spirits. The officers soon learned of the unrest and took steps to quiet it. They were told that ammunition was being stolen and the officers were ordered to summary action. The men were ordered to fall in line and an attempt was made to "check" them and account for each man. Suddenly the cry rans down the company street, "get out of here." The men broke ranks, bedlam reigned for a moment. The officers succeeded in holding some of them in line, but many broke away, raided the ammunition depot, and began a everybody was excited. It was then that the outstanding figure of the whole affair appeared. Sergio Vince Henry of Co. K had been a soldier for 18 years, and had seen to the rank of first sergeant. He was considered a gentleman of reputation of being loyal to his superiors, and his influence over the men was great. The horrific riot at East St. Louis had occurred not very long before. Black men, women turned in and maltreated. It was brought out at the trial that Sergio Henry, learning of the destitution of some of the survivors, had been a leader in the movement to send money and relief to them. Great injustice which inspired him and made him the natural leader of the men who marched away to Houston that night. But whatever the motive and however wrong the action, his bravery and generosity kept this memoir forever in the hearts of those who knew his story. Men were running lice and there officers should command, everything was confused, when the tool voice of Serguei Gorbatov, the officer who obscured me, marched them away toward the city of Houston. I's every word was iw. It has been estimated that from 100 to 175 men were the column through one city, but the other would have raided the entire city. It said, however, that the men exhibited animosity against the civilian, who the policemen who were the objs of the wretch. Serguei Gorbatov was a ruler of the military maneuver. He ordered rear guard to "let no man fall outland when somebody suggested goldback to camp, he said, "I'm not got back. I didn't come out to the city." During trouble, mostly it is said, policem or citizens who assumed the role of officer and fired on the soldiers. Capt. Max, an officer in an Illinois Nation Guard regiment, was one of the men whose newspaper dispatches made him miss his bus was mutinated by bayoneting, at the trial. Corporal, Foreman, who was in the auto with him, and a shocker Shell, justified that NO MANY HIGH MAKES FOUND UPON HIS BODY. Captain Makes wore an officer's uniform, the same as was the city police. In the front of his teacher was seated a pit or his captain Caplain Mattes rose man and as Captain Mattes rik t to them, the men undoubtedly was a policeman. however he marched on. When army citizens or policemen were met, they took place, and many were alarmed, of these exchanges. Sergeant Henry was wounded in a railroad track. His men crowded around him but he was marching and commanded him to march on. He was through. He had his part. The rest morning his body was found, with the top of his head blown off. He drew a knife and split. Henry the leader was gone. Aurt went back to try to get. In camp with Sergeant Nesbitt, part continued toward town with Corporal Brown. He did the same. All men intrusted themselves in a duel park and were surrounded by militiamen. THIS IS NOT A FACT. They could have resisted army or militiamen in two-thirds or single-sheet shelter in the homes of civilians. In the wood or fields. Discouraged and disheared they were arrested whereover and were killed by white soldiers. No resistance. Cnvir Benote Hilliard L. 3159 State street, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lee, born at Columbia, S. C., in 1891, was made a first heutenant of the 270th regiment, Company E, Saturday, Jan. 10.

The interview at an end, the Defender representative thanked the warden for his courtesy, the currier for his kindness, the fillet out, the Defender man passed through the quiet steel doors, the brick gate and the barb wire stockade to the whole world, where he drew a breath of air, and looked back at the sombre building. Are there any innocent men among the 33 sentenced for life who are now at Leavenworth? Two of the prisoner-in-love inmates did not part in the riot. Was it possible, in view of the conditions which existed at Houston and throughout Texas, to give complete justice to men with black skins? Can less be asked than that another opportunity to prove their innocence in an atmosphere where there can be no question of its fairness? 'These 33 men at Leavenworth request that they be added. Will the court move on to a new movement on foot in Oklahoma to help them secure a new trial. It is hoped that every individual who believes in fair play will do everything possible toward bringing before congress or means to accomplish the result-of their request for a new trial.

BULLDOZING "MOLASSES WILL ATTRACT more flies than vinegar." A simple truth, yet apparently difficult for some people to learn. The labor of the south has been driven to other sections because the sweets of life were never tendered to offset the constant diet of sours. Now, when it is almost too late, an effort is being made to spread some of the sweets in the hope, if not bringing back those who have wandered away, of retaining those who are still on the ground. It is not that they harbor any more love for us individually or collectively, but their pocketbooks being affected, and the almighty dollar that is their master bids in coaxing, now that bulldozing is no longer effective. Governor Gardner of Missouri recently appointed a commission to be known as the Missouri Negro Industrial Commission, for the following purposes: The general welfare of those living within the state; better education; the retention of farm laborers; the study of the moral and social conditions; food conservation; improved health conditions, and obligations of citizenship. "Very good, Eddie," as far as it goes, but would it not be in keeping to form another commission—and let it be of white men—with the one sole purpose in view of giving the Black man justice in its fullest sense? The white man needs instruction in good citizenship far more than we need it. 0,5k % Wouldn't it be "peaches and cream" if the southern states could legally pass a compulsory farm labor law? Such a law was suggested to Governor Whitman of New York by a delegation of farmers and representatives of industrial interests, but, of course, could not be put into effect with the present laws on the statute books. However, it gave food for thought to scribes on the southern press. List to one: "It appears to us that the Colored people who have abandoned their farms in the south should immediately return to them instead of being compelled by law to work on farms in New York." Funny, we don't get scared as easily as we used to. Wonder what leader if we are realizing that the other fellow is the biggest bluff and the biggest cower in the world—save when in gangs—what it comes to dealing with us? We have been peaceable and harmless, perhaps too much so for our own good, but now we feel that we want a little more taffy and not so much epitaphy. Some of us may drift back south, but not to anger, unless conditions improve wonderfully. "Don't Let the Same Bee Sting You Twice" is the title of an old song. "Them's our sentiments." Black Powder A WRITER in the New York Tribune bursts forth "thusily": More than 600,000 Negroes have come North! the last two years—500,000 grains of black powder lying around the Northern industrial centers, threatening danger. The organizations of the labor world, created great housing difficulties and provider lines, have placed places, as it has already done at a fox. "My, we didn't know we, were capable of doing all of this. We must be, some pumpkins" after all, and here we have been all these years asleep at the switch. The noises are hot at hand, tick now, showing how much real damage 600,000 people have been placed, will do. Forth enough to frighten the who has a frightening time, we care to know. Power is the one thing that demands respect; were this true no war would be on today. But who is to touch off this aforesaid powder lying around the North, does it loom up more dangerous now than it did in years gone by? If they do, the even number of grains of explosive, in 12,000,000 people there would be—at least eighty times as much; but powder in itself is harmless—it must be limited. The organization of the laborwould be taken our workmen into account until they were actually forced to in sheer self-defense; they have learned that an employer is unable to tell whether the completed product is the white or white hands, and little he cares. Results are what count, and so he employs not only the white hands, but also killing the monopoly of the former—another form of black powder. It is true the housing has been a problem to cities indifferent to the welfare of their people, and social service solved where co-operation of employer, city authorities and social service prevails. This wider having admitted one individual equals on grain powder, a dignostician adds a few more grains, or pounds, as the case may be, and really strikes somewhere near the intent force pent up within us? If Ellis Island has some of the European battle fields are now answering bullets, made from money foreign englemen got out of this country—perhaps the gentleman can use in them lignated gasoline instead of black powder, and the old island wo. d sink rather than permit more foreigners to enter our shores. Race Consciousness S is a trait that every human being possesses to some degree. It is a bad thing that if the selfishness isn't individualized, it is bad and liberal a good example of such selfishness is to be a race, where the success of one hinges on the united support of the Jewish race is at its height. Seldom, if ever, have their own ideas as alma. There's a reason. The general public. Their own ideas and, throwing them on the expectation of their organizations make loans to work. The position to be best instituting rather than paupers. It reached the help of another stage to that extent yet, but approaching it, and where the country is, it petered off and, in some precise in the form of the SELFISHNESS is a trait for every human being possesses to some degree. It isn't a bad thing that if your selfishness isn't individualized, if it isn't found in the Jewish race, where good example of such selfishness is to be found in the Jewish race, where good example of such selfishness is to be found in the others, where clanness is its height. Soldom if ever have we seen a member of the Jewish own handlers asking alma. There's a reason. They merely of the general public. Their handlers and not throwing them on the individuals with the expectation having them repaid, thus placing their tenancies in a position to be instilling rather than paupers. PERSECUTION RACE PREDJUDICE INJUSTICE FAITHFUL AM-LOYAL DEMOCRACY WORLD Louis Waggatt THE DEFENDER INTRODUCES REV SILAS FLOYD TO HON. W. ALLISON SWEENEY My name Dr. (?) is Sweney,—handle, Allison, and having my habitat in this mast town, known the world over as Chicago; where: "White folks niggers—having hardly breathe; a city but a step away from the dust of Lincoln, who. Muckled the bister in our souls, And in its place caused a rose to bloom. I am moved, after being shown a report of a so-called Emanipaine. I am moved, after being shown a report of a so-called Emanipaine." through one who has known you for years; and in the language: "Always his bet play is, to talk to a white man in the meantime HOLDING HIS METTLE BY HIS HAND. He his ALWAYS BE-TRAYED HISTRICT, when a question of RIGHT AND WRONG was to be deeded between WHITES AND BLACKS." If the above pompier is a faithful one, it would see Dr. (?) that your knave-ship is established; the corroborative testimony is furnished by a Macon Special to the Augusta Chronicle, this form paper, giving an account of your mancipation (?) address, and SCE an address: "white folks nug- hies" no hear- lag — hardy tough — but a step away from the dust of Lincoln, who lucked the blues in our soul. And in its place caused a rose to bloom: I am moved, after being shown a report of a so-called Enamelacn address made by Mr. Jast this year. by you on January 1st, this year. W. Allison Sweeney list, the Georgia, to congratulate you that you STELL LIVIN' That the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, regardless of His spiritual Omnipresence overlooked you, as might be expected, you were like the world was young, and hence failed to STRIKE YOU DEAD! To grumple you up, even as a sheet of paper held in flame, us; "white folks nigger" you, us; "white people" you; "the WHITE SONS AND DAUGHTERS of the slave holders of the "Old South." (The BLACK be damb) you loaned or SOLD YOURSELF, you loaned or SOLD YOURSELF, racial pride of those members of the Race in the Georgia city; heads, and sons and daughters of families of character and education, who; their memoirs and stories, because of the great Amundsen; second in importance to the one dating back to the manger in Bethchem, had been induced to listen to you. --- Behind the camouflage of an Emancipation address, as it filtered from between your teeth, but which had no more reference to the Immortal Act and who today WALKS IN PARADISE—the Master at his side, than the crook of a raven resembles the melody of a nightingale, you put over a talk, to the surprise and charge of the LOCK HONOR, and DALIAGE of the SAME slave holders of the "Old South," who listened to you Dr. (?), for which your rear parts--don't you think, should have been kloked to a jelly? But beyond and away from that reflection, has it struck you Dr. (?), glancing back to the occasion referred to, that you have a "lucky dog, dem lucky? For LISTEN! WHAT could you have said; what personal friend you have had? You have demonstrated upon your behalf, after you had finished your harangue, the angry and humiliated Negroes of Macon had stripped you NAKED AS A JAY BIRD, and, welting your hide booted you out of their presence and city, wearing a COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS? One of two things *pomphs* both—becomes certain Dr. (?), you are either in ASS OR A KNAVEI: Either your vision as regards the *present* and future, the *Nrogo*—more DIRECTLY, life for life, and the brethren of Sorry. "Always his lit play is to talk to a white man in the meantime HOLDING HI HAT IN HIS HAND. He is ALWAYS BETRAYED HIS TRUST, when a question of RIGHT AND WRONG was to be beded between WHITES AND BLACKS." --- If the above pompier is a faithful one, it would see Br. (?) that your knave-ship is established; the corroborea by a Macon Succulent furnished by a Macon Succulent, (white) your town paper, giving an account of you Emmanuel (?) address, and SICE an address; Drilling with rudule of the Negro; preceded and mad possible the great elections and suspensions; containing NOT A SINGLE EXFERENCE to the growing and culminating causes, that preceded and mad possible the great elections and suspensions; ONE WORD of the humoral LIN.COLN; NOT OM WORD stigmatizing slavery; NO ONE WORD of eulogy and praises for the clvle and military heroes, saliers and statesmen who through long yess fought to standstill—wiped from the face of the earth! NOT NE WORD against the wrongs and orders of Black men since Emmanuel and still going on to battle which you live; America's DARA AND BLOODY GROUND! In the story wain is found the history of the New World, of our great Republic—the HOE OF MANKIND: the histories (all nations, that since the time of the Tempel and Babel, have "Arrogant flourished and fell," in ALL the earth; through ALL time; of EVERY gee, you know Dr. (2), and I allow your limitations (3), and your limitations abilities—there is afforded NO HEIR, NO body of men: Glorious sails: "Immortal nails: That were not norn to die": So calculated to have to eloquence; to ideals and point at ideas; to men alike, than the THEN you but thinned at. But THESE you ignored; couldn't see or REBEMER in YOUR Emancipation (2) address, but in IMPERIAL SUBSTITUTED THIS in an EXCEPT two, I have produced which typespecies in vanity and INSULT, all that your polywogain was equal to. "During the pit generation the Colored Race has placed the emphasis in religit in the wrong place, and the Colored man has also emphasized the long side of the race at the time of the religion, we has talked mostly about heaven—strong, white, robe, the golden star, the starry crown, etc.—and have said very correct living things about correct living things. And in citizenism we have placed the emphasis upon our rights and privileges rather than upon our duties and responsibilities." YOU THINK YOUR PEOPLE SHOULD WORSHIP. "Every now and then, you will hear Negroes saying that they have no chance, they have no rights —everything is against them. When Colored people talk this way, they mean, as a general thing, that they can't ride in the same cars with white people on railroad trains, that they must sit behind on the trolley cars, that they must go on airplanes in churches and theaters, that they must be in a Colored man say a thing like that. I ask myself this question: 'What would he do with the chance if he had WITH OTHER RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IF HE HAD THEM?' . . . SUCH questions; and, my masters—THINK of it, FROM the LIPS OF A BLACK MAN in the heart of the "Meanstear South": America's ACURSED AND BENIGHTED SECONDARY years, have been freighted with the smell of BURNING EGERO FLESH; the shricks of TORTURED MEN; the smoke of BURNING HOMES; the SCREAMS OF RAVISHED VIRGINS! Don't cuss; and yet how can you help womaniing? why some many—Negro; white; black; mestizo; mestizo; mestizo; himself; FAILED TO STOP CLOCK! Give him the once over, AND GRIND HIS SLANDEROUS TONGUE TO A PULP IN HIS THIROAT! RULES OF THE ILLINOIS STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR CONTROL OF TUBERCULOSIS. The rules, of the Department of Health of the State of Illinois make it obligatory on the part of every physician. clan, to report every case or suspicious case of pulmonary tuberculosis. A great many people complain and strenuous object to the burcular troubles the burcular troubles reported or made known to the publishers in 1908 who was made a reportable disease by a city ordinance, in the city of New York in 1317, the State Department of DR. WILLIAMS Health made it obligatory on physicians, parents, householders and attendants to report all pulmonary tuberculosis and attached a penalty of a fine, or imprisonment in the county jail, or both fine and imprisonment. This law, we most heartily endorse. We believe that he has been enforced and that once twenty-five years old, he berculosis would have been greatly reduced and under complete control. There has been too much evading the law, exposing him with one that can last long ago, we had occasion to examine a young man in the second stage of tuberculosis; he was coughing and splitting up millions of tubercle bacilli, exposing him with a throat infection and drenched disease. The lady of the house in trembling voice called us aside and said: "Oh, doctor, please do not expose him with a throat infection, just tell him it just a little abrasion, affection or a deep cold. I fear it will frighten him to know his true condition." This fear is groundless, fallacious, and inaccurate. People may make a fight against tuberculosis, they must know their true condition by a true diagnosis after a careful examination by a competent physician. And in order that the public may be thoroughly conversant with the rules of the Department of Health, we are going to quote almost in toto that of the Department of Health, instructions to be given, inspection to be enforced, open cases and precautions. We beseech our readers to carefully head and note these rules to preserve the family physician for obeying the regulations of the State Department of Health and that of our city. Rule 1—Reports Every physician, every attendant, parent, householder or person having knowledge of a known case or a suspected case of tuberculosis or consumption, must immediately report the same to the local health authorities. "It shall be the day when every physician attending a course of pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption to advise come men of spine, torn YOUR INFERNAL, HIDE, IN, A, THIOSUAS PIECES, and scattered it to the four winds of earth! Food FOR DOGS AND-BIRDS! For, is it not true, EVERY word of what you declared, "now now then you will hear Negroes saying? What would you have them do? Follow YOUR EXAMPLE? Tuck their ties between their legs, and their hats, securely lodged under their sleeves, as body below the different legislative and law making bodies of the State, State, County and City, and in humble language, record thanks FOR THE INDIGNITIES HEAPED UPON THEM? Beg for MORE? "In Georgia, especially in Georgia, there is no reason why the Colored man should whine and cry and mourn and lament. I know that our state carries the belt in that in some parts of Georgia the Negro is being driven out: but, in spite of all the darkness, there are many signs of light and hope and encouragement for the Negro in our Georgia sky." NO reason? Surely this man is not a nonviolent, NOOL; NONE; and Georgia carrying both his record of lynching? No, when in "SOME parts the Negro is being DRIVEN OUT;" which interprated, means the ROPE; the GUN; the STAKE; the TORCH! But Dr. (?).—What's the use—you have passed the stage of REDEMPHONATION. One of a brood of SMALL ISLANDS, struggling against UNFIRM AND MENICILES CONDITIONS; with the WHITE HOT HEAT of three centuries of Young and Injustice ranking in its ranks of an accusing conscience that will NEVER DISSERT YOU; the scorn of your fellow man, dogging your foot-LIFE; THE REMAINDER OF YOUR LIFE; THEY NEVER people of whom it has been your HEA; PAID JOB, to be little and hinder, 15 YEAR. the patient up the patient of the family and the household as to the nature of the disease and, as to the nature of the infection, may be avoided especially in open cases of tuberculosis, the proper disposal of sputum, the control of the avoidance by healthy persons of the disease, have been used by the sick. Rule 3—Inspection "It shall be the duty of the Health Officer upon receiving a report of a case of suspicion, to assist and inspect or to cause to be visited and inspected by a duly authorized and competent agent, to satisfy the person that reasonable precautions are being taken for the protection of the public and the members of the household." Rule 9 Appert ins to the examination of sputum by Health Officers. Rule 5—Open Cases. "The term 'open case' or pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption as employed in these rules and regulations, in these cases, is the incidence of the disease, to those who have persistent cough and who produce sputum containing tubercle bacilli. All cases known to be those of pulmonary tuberculosis are regarded as 'open cases' until their successive specimens of sputum, collected within a period of three weeks, are examined by a physician or to contain no tubercle bacilli by examination by the Health Officer or in a public laboratory." R-5 Relates to Precautions to Be Take "No person suspecting from an open case of pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption as defined in 'RULE 5' shall occupy the same room or a bed chamber or sleeping apartment with an applique. This person is you coughing and spitting your sputum contains tubercular germs, it is against the law for you to sleep with someone coughing or to occupy the same room or healthy person." To the Editor of the chicago Defender: As a constant reader and ardent supporter of you paper for the stand that it likes on the rights of the Race, permit me to lay through your paper to the people your Race, that in order to get the biotic results out of these essay receipts that I witnessed today as I had for seven consecutive years. First of all, and these times that TRY men souls; if there is any real lasting good to be derived of these annual mammoth literary settings in the motion: it come by reason of the knowledge of the world and the truth of our condition as really is. And the unpleasant, yet sweet they are related to the Neps and the forces that hinder us from our natural and constitutional rights; secondly, to my mind and I am quite sure that I make a dear friend with when I make it dear myself, which the condition not devolve within the form of empathy nearest a fact, a truth itself to questionns, andulative characters; namely philosophy. Readless for me, how much the vitally important characters are played in the essay is a content they the costest and adversely credit for it. but rather they employ for words employed to express whatever the thought, however misleading. Third and last, last the truth be often camougled with words, let the contests make science and philosophy two of the main points by which the contests will be faded and walt the results two or three years hence (Hungerford, 523 E. 34th place, Chicago, Roberts.)
