H. P. Dougherty, white, of New York, secretary of the association, presided at a luncheon which was in the Freshwater rooms of the Odd Yellow building, and the caterers brought in, rather than a restaurant, because several of our ministers sat at luncheon with the white ministers.

Kingsley of Alabama, who has been making a study of conditions among the people of Cincinnati and this city, gave it as his opinion and became more accurate better incomes and are more people made the assertion that in Cincinnati "the Negroes are segregated."

CK YARD ARTIAL the 24th Infantry Houston Affair GREASED MITTS OF CITY DETECTIVES TO SECURE HIS PRISONER Truth Leaks Out When Sheriff Moon of Lee County Writes to Editor The following letter arrived at the Defender office on Monday: it concerns the final disposition of a case that attracts good deal of attention some time ago: Opelika, Ala., Jan. 21, 1918. Robert S. Abbott, L.L. B. Chicago Defender, Chicago, Ill. Sir: Your paper of Sept. 22, 1917, carried a story about me: that is, I guess it was a story, or? Every word of it was the truth (Except) the headlines and the last line, and all the lines between. I was not even in nor near Chicago when Hudson Gorr was released. I never heard of Judge Uhlir until some time after my return home and some one sent me the little d-sheet giving an account of my The readers of the Defender will no doubt recall the article which our enlightened friend, Sheriff Moon, refers to at the time that the man Carr pleaded guilty. The cops it transpired that the warrant sent here was misdrawn and that in view of the reputation which "justice" in the Alabama, as applied to members of the prison, followed by community the prisoner was freed by this latter, according to reports reaching this office, he was re-arrested by two detectives, turned over to the tender officer, southern Moon and disposed of in the mines above yellow. If the statement made in the above letter that Carr pleaded guilty to the charges made against him is true, Chicago and the north are better off with the charges following above yellow, in the mines of Bam, helping to straighten out the present coal shortage with his trusty pick, and long may it wave (the pick), Alabama's gain is hard to believe, however, that any "financial greasing" was done with the two officers mentioned, as they are men of high standing on the force as well as in the community. The letter is on the website of the published verbatim. Regarding the remaining charges which the soft-hearted sheriff has against Carr, it is hardly believable that Moon would drop them from the county and the expenditure of Lee county's finances.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS If you fail to receive your copy of the Chicago Defender as promptly as you have in the past, please do not think it has been lost or was not sent on time. Remember that the railroads are engaged with the urgent movement of troops and their supplies; that there is an unusual pressure in various parts of the country for food and fuel; that the railroads have more business than they can handle promptly. For that reason many trains are late. The Chicago Defender has increased its mailing equipment and is co-operating in every way with the postoffice department to expedite delivery. Even so, delays are inevitable because of the enormous demands upon the railroads and the withdrawal of men from many lines of work. TEHNESSEE Tiptonville, Tenn.

Her screams attracted the attention of Joseph Holland, an employee on her father's farm, and he rushed to the scene from the ice waters. Mr. Meggs gave Holland a gold watch and $20 in cash. DANGER IN NEW WARD CONDITIONS Observer's Observations Continued One of the great outstanding facts consequent upon the present war is the movement of the Race population from the Southern States to the North. This movement at its bottom is economic and social. It is economic in so far as it is in response to the demand for jobs in North, which has been precipitated by the market, caused by the war-demands for soldiers and workers in war industries, in the national effort to mobilize the nation's man and material resources in Europe to make the world safe for democracy. It is social in so far as the race Mind is attempting to seize this opportunity to better the general economically, morally and politically. Ward Increase of Race Population Since the beginning of the war it is estimated that from two to three hundred thousand members of the Race have located in Northern States as well as in the varied forms of industry and labor. While no exact figures are now available it is evident on every hand that increased as we go forward, we must be decidedly in the majority in the Second Ward. The Race, therefore, is charged with the future and general social conditions in the ward. If the conditions are bad, retarding Race development and progress, and the need to burden the community will be strengthened, that the Race is incapable of self-government and steps will be taken to improve its political power and lessen what may be considered the Race meme in the Second Ward. The Race and ward conditions are Improved and the Race shows itself capable of wise and intelligent participation in the city government, new political and industrial opportunities, and the Second Ward will justify its unique and proud position of being the natural political leader of the Race in the final American citizen without regard to race. The Duty to New Citizens The members of the Race who were fortunate enough to precede by some years these race members coming North during the war crisis, owe a special duty to receive these new citizens as brothers and friends and to help them establish themselves on a sound basis in the world. This duty goes further, it requires that these new citizens be protected from the selfish and amateur political leaders and selfish political political leaders and prevented leaders, who are willing to sacrifice and use all the new citizens against themselves and for their human interests. The ignorant, half-educated and discredited possess the gull to assume to the interest of the race (but in the interest of the private and temporary money gain of those bold takers, who are the race citizens and their lack of acquaintance with local conditions an opportunity to devise the latter and to profit by their tricks in deception and misrepresenta- This is the situation with DePriest, who is thoroughly discredited in Chicago and the country in allowing himself to be indicted for misconduct in office, and who has the hardship to present himself for public arrest, under the jurisdiction of the United States. He hopes to regain his standing in public affairs by receiving the new citizens, by wrongfully telling them that DePriest never stood up for his upstanding up for his Race, when as a matter of fact known to all men in the ward that DePriest never stood up for his own private packet. DePriest supported State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne, a Democrat, against a Republican, is a reasonable man that DePriest never stood up for his friend for simply standing up for his Race? They do not indict men for standing up honorably for their Race, nor did they not indicted Edward I. Wright, who for nearly a quarter of a century has stood up conspicuously and fought for his Race against DePriest and powerful men, not indicted his record free from criminal nets. In this awful situation there is a dual duty in the premises to the Race: (1) The people who know should see personally these new citizens and give them the respect they deserve in their own interest and in the interest of the Race by supporting Major Robert R. Jackson and the regular Republican organization; (2) The new citizens should take their advice and help them to make good standing and who are in touch and harmony with the Race's friends in Chicago and the state, and vote with those who can help them to get adjusted and settled in their new homes in Chicago, and these persons are in the regular American organization of the Second Ward. Arraying Blacks Against Whites DelPriest is seeking to injure his Race in particular by playing upon the prejudice of our new citizens and urging them to unite with him in driving our enemies from the party and from the ward, our city and from the country to arouse race prejudice and to appeal to it for political action where we are in the majority. We are in the minority. We are in the country. In the north, aside from the Second Ward, we have control of no important political unit. If we are in the minority, how much will we suffer in the countless units and states where we are in the minority, when we are in the majority, how much of what the Race does to the whites when it has the political power. To the Race THE CHICAGO DEFENDER 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 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 West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is slick, 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.

Box 812, Greenbore, North Carolina. there is no doctrine more dangerous and more injurious than this De Priest effort to arouse race hatred against the natives in the only place we are in political control—at the ballot box. Our salvation in the Second Ward and the country lies in being to all citizens without regard to race. If we were to overthrow the country, and ultimately in the south, we must be just when and wherever we get in control, which, is now in our own hands. Our new citizens have just come from the horrible conflicts and conditions of race hatred and political antagonism along race lines. Under this De Priest doctrine in the south our Race has and continues to crush and crucify felt in pain and death on our escape this increased degradation and suffering many of our Race have come to Chicago to better their own condition, and in every way possible our brethren who still live there have to follow De Priest to tighten the chains which bind us in the south and hasten the day when we will meet a new leader who will support Jackson is to make our position here and here to help our Race in the south. The Tillmans and Vardanians would want nothing so much as the success of Delbrück in the war against race hate and antigamism, to justify all nameless acts of injustice and oppression which have been imposed upon us, the name of race supremacy and hostility. In Chicago we would suffer in other wards where we are in the minority. In the south we would justify southern racism and co-operation against ourselves when in political example of race antigamism, and post-pone indelibly in the south the harp and co-operation of the races among and co-operation of American principles and democracy. Lily Whites vs. Blacks The black and tan doctrine of De-Priest seeking to segregate the political action of the Race along hostile race and offensive and detrimental to those who are grounded for the equal rights of the Race in every state of the Union. All races are equal before the law and the American law is little or no distinction on account of race. Chicago our Race is counted among men and to us Chicago is the greatest American soil. We do not wish DePriest American soil else to establish in Chicago the inferior doctrines of Tillman of South Carolina and Tadman of Mississippi. In Race under the leadership of Robert will recognition against the Lily White Republicans of that state. On February 11th whites of Mississippi will contest against the National Committee at St. Louis the Berry W. Howard as the representative of that state, on the ground that no white should sit in that body as the response. The doctrine of Lily White Southerners that only the white race should office and participate in government and unjust and subversive of true liberty The Defriest doctrine of excluding the white people in the ward from representation and participation in political office and subversive reasons is equally unjust. un-American pugnant to the principles of political justice and square dealing and if they threaten and injure the South War in every quarter of the United States. Just when the Race with Church is humped in Tennessee against Lily Wheeler, it is sure to succeed still farther through Mississippi. it is especially necessary to the interest of our Race at large and particular, that DePriest and his Bishop Race doctrines and Race hatred and antagonism are overwhelmingly defamed at the polls, that the white people treat them justly when they mean to treat them justly when they mean the majority as we expect them to do by us where they are in the majority, as necessary to defeat DePriest as an examiner of the race and cooperation and good-feeling among the races, which should exist without regard us to which race is in the majority of Americans and we should stand for justice, principles, applicable all to both races. Fake DePriest Convention A little while ago DePriest called what he named a convention at Odd Fellows' hall. He selected a few persons to be known for him from certain prefectures of the ward and admitted those to the ward by tickets previously given to them. The persons were admitted. These delegates selected by DePriest were provided with badges and they were assembled as though in some convention to nomi- FOR HAIR THAT WE USE PALM CREAM The only safe and guaranteed strand Mr. W. would be a very handsome yr. had hair, wouldn't he?

The idea of the convention is made the more representible because it is calculated to make it easier to make them believe that DePriest has been nominated by persons other than himself. This is a fake trick of DePriest in an endeavor to overcome the fact that he is a self-nominated candidate, abandoned to the most reckless and unethical person in his loss standing and political power. Our new citizens are advised that under our state primary law convention, the person so-called DePriest convention has no basis or justification either in the law or the political practice of the two great parties. So the old fact remains that DePriest is tried to hide it by a discredited and fake convention of DePriest's appointed delegates, that he might deceive some of our new voters not familiar with the The Republican organization is lead by the ward committeeman, elected by the people of this party, according to the rules of the ward presetect and the combination is the Republican organization.

An All-Brooklyn Campaign An All-Brooklyn Campaign Brooklyn, N.J., Feb. 1, 2-What you have looked forward to for a long time is to be realized at last—a suitable place to do the mighty work that is necessary for the young men of this Every person that takes pride in the future of their Race has long realized that the work of the P. M. C. A. had been made possible by the expansion of revenue, and if the association was to continue its good work it was necessary to have a place that was suitable to perform the broader work that comes to the organization that is consistently growing. Even the most optimistic would not have dared three years ago to predict that in 1918 a building would be stand-alone. Brooklyn that was modern in every respect, roomy enough to accommodate the present needs of the population of the city and one that in design and construction would be generated to come. Such a building now stands; let praise be given. The building far exceeds anything that a reasonable imagination could have pledged to accomplish, and the possession of all that will have the resource to inspect it in the near future. In order that this building may be the improvement looked for and not a carry, it is necessary that it be occupied with a financial burden that will hamper the men in charge of this work and divert their labor from the construction of all of them in the light of young men. Beginning Feb. 7, this city will be combed from side to side in a ten-day campaign in which all the branches of the city will be involved. The branch will share liberally in the money collected, providing the Colored population of Brooklyn responds to the incentives of the men sent to solicit aid. The Colored people will understand, this will eliminate the certain necessity of asking aid in the future. A kind persons that have made a $300,000 building possible for a large crowd of Brooklyn at a small cost of a few thousand dollars to the Colored people, how ask, "Are the Colored expected to be given in the ten days beginning Feb. 7." --- Brooklyn, N.

The Grand Fondelli Trio, one of the best comedy acrobatic acts ever seen here, opened a good bill here on Monday. It is a novelty that is well worth looking at and the work done is little short of marvelous. Gay & Glorso have a different act. In it the stout lady end of the clever team does some good characters, while her partner shows quality in both songs and dancing. William Shilling, who has been in the act all my career. While his offering is fine and the acting far above the average, the theme dialogue did not appeal to the patrons of the Grand William is surrounded by a very capable company. The team of Peat & Stevens, Michael McKenna well with their new act, billed "A Tony Langston MARY MAY Yow Yow in a Chinese Laundry." Peat a shovel comedian and Stevons does a dance as ever has ever been seen here. The singing and dancing are a feature and goes far to make the net hand. Melody kind in the business, was last on. It carries a male quartette that is a hummer, a great dancing single, a couple ability but much appearance, and about ten different kinds of stage settings and drops. The net is as much of a show along the scenery line as the Follies. Ray & Taylor, an up-to-the-minute musical net, fared well with their offering, and Linda Stickle & DeLoach, with their singing, skiling and dancing net, also did well. The Avenue An All Girl Review, carrying twenty handsome and talented young ladies, opened here on Monday afternoon. They opened with an elegantly groomed bride, who was dressed in the stage, intelligently talking interlocutor, classy line-up of balladists, "browned" end men and all. And they got right down to minstrel business with the band, who group with heart and soul in their work. Each number in an oil of six acts was presented before a special drop, and these included a fine juvenile with topical songs, a couple of sepia-toned photographs, shouts through a face full of cork, and then flushes a bare arm, unnecessarily, to show that she is not the genuine lady, which no one anybody has. The band stage with a sweet singer and a chorus. The afterpart was one of the regulation sort, but better presented than average, the shirt being almost identical to the dress. It should also be made regarding a "Fashion Shop" novelty which carried in the middle of the oil. Taking it upside and down the house, the must have of this caliber. They will surely please. We are back to straight vaudeville time we have booked, as a special feature, the big time variety hit, Jones & Barnes, as one of the best gold in, vaudeville. The Monogram LULU COATES & CO.

NEW PICTURE "Loyalty of a Race" is the title of a scenario just finished by Marce Edwards for a three-reel film and is of the petriotic type. The author claims that it is another answer to the adjective "birth" with just opposition all over the north. How he can make it so in a three reel is beyond the comprehension of most people, but fully sleeping for some time and it is distressing that a pin should be stuck in its sleeve at night. The picture he is building by lamination in Chicago when it is ready. AMONG THE MOVIES The States A Daughter of the Gods finished a great four days' engagement here on the week we had.

The commendation of the original article seems to be unanimous with all the performers who have seen it to write concerning it, among these being, some of the most prominent of the vauduille performers. The readers will remember that mention was made that seldom, if ever the women of the profession have to call for aid when ill-health strikes them and the cases have subscription paper had to be circulated for the bureau of an actress have been wonderfully few. This is truly a lesson to the men who carlessly throw away their carving tools in it is as rapidly made away with the amount of cash dissipated depends upon the amount of salary received. The ladies seem to have the faculty of seeing further ahead than many of the men, although their salaries are, in fact, much less than those of their male co-workers; this is a thing which is easily explained. In the first place the ladies of the professors are, in fact, much less paid than that goes with the reputation gained by spendshift methods; they seldom sequent the bar-rooms or rear-rooms of the men, and they are usually of sensible enough caliber to shun the name gained by the female cabaret-lizard.

University Students Drawing Color Line on Themselves Start Jim Crow Frat When Such Has Never Been Instituted YOUNG WOMEN FIGHT MOVE Southern students attending the University of Chicago have at last succeeded in obtaining the approval of the university to institute to establish a Jim Crow fraternity. It is to be deeply regretted that a clique of students seeking self-aggrandizement will take the first step in inciting the principal of segregation and casto at such a notable institution as the University of Chicago. While the main object of the fraternity is to incite the principal of segregation among the students of our Race, at the same time it retains a harmful effect behind its apostolic commenceance, and classes us as a separate unit relative to the principal of segregation. Cecil Lewis, N. M. Nelson, George Ellis and E. G. Brown are accredited with having launched the movement and are moving spirits of the organist. Young Women Oppose It This is not the first attempt on the part of a group of students to form such a society. Some years ago a morality endeavored to obtain the perseverance activities to establish a Jim Crow society, but one of the young women imposed it vigorously. They were decidedly disaffected with her opposition to the young woman behind bare the ridge of the ridge, dean of one of the departments in the institution, and daughter of the late W. C. P. Breckenridge of Kentucky, who always stood for rights regarded as the unimaginable amount of freedom they were avidly by no means could they operate a Jim Crow principle within the walls of the institution.

Why should an unnristructured institution have their foster a propaganda of discrimination and aggression? It should be the agreeable duty of some kind of organization in spirit in this organization to inform the proposed plan and have decided to advocate the discontinuance of such a stripe of southerners in their company and completely them from polite and select society.

Rockford, Ill., Feb. 1.—The 350th machine gun battalion is again winner in athletics. Not content with winning the cross country run Wednesday, Jan. 23, the 350th machine gun battalion won four boxing contests from the 355th infantry Wednesday night at the Y. M. C. A. The concluding bout was between two of the privates from the 350th machine gun battalion, the 365th infantry having no man to match against either of the 350th machine gun company's 160 pounders. The showing of the 350th machine gun battalion in all lines of sporting activities clearly demonstrates the fact that the companies will show just how much they can fight them by their athletic officer. All through the fights the machine gun battalion was with their fighters to a man. They cheered, they coached and pulled for every man just as if he were a fighter. The fighter's family did not have a single fighter to stay the required number of rounds. They were either too dazed to continue fighting or ran into a straight right or left that made them throw up. Leut. Pitts, battalion athletic officer of the machine gun battalion, was clashed over the showing of the boys. Leuts. Edwards, Evans and Matthews for the development of the different fighters of their companies and the boys' best to bring as much credit as he can to his organization. Capt. Wm. R. Green Retired Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 1,—Capt. Wm. R. Green, late of the 372nd Regiment, stationed at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va., was formally relieved of his command by a special board which he presided on his physical fitness. Green requested the board to pass on his fitness, and after examination and investigation, he was tendered his honorable discharge. Capt. Green is the son of Sec. Green, the foreman for the Ohio state, and known as the father of the Laker day bill. Color Line Bobs Up in St. Louis Civil Service N. A. A. C. P. to Wage War Till Justice Is Won By a Defender Staff Correspondent St. Louis, M. Feb. 1.—It later came to the notice of persons connected with the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the members of the city's police board had developed a new and effective way to discriminate against eligibles so they will stand the minimum possibility of appointment; it indeed appoin- tured to serve them beyond the bounds of possibility. Lately a peculiar situation developed. It is highly probable this situation still obtains. Appointments were made until a prominent Race man headened the jacket of his name to him that his name be certified and had white men to back him up in his demands. The very fact he felt he had been discriminated against and could probably substantiate his contention, caused the "impeachment sword" to his name, and made his pleasant degree. He knew there were two prime reasons why he did not receive an appointment: One was the fact that he was a Negro, and a still more distasteful thing about his cellulite. The case will get a thorough probing and an attempt be made to secure fair play.

MACHINE GUN BATTALION WINS 5-MILE CROSS COUNTRY Camp Grant, Rockford, IL, Feb. 1— With less than two hours' notice the 350th Machine Gun Battalion won a five-mile cross country run from the 365th Infantry. The Infantry had all their confidence in Corp. Alvin L. Poole; Co. B and the Machine Gun Battalion were backing塞格蓝琛 tit to the limit. Sergeant Bluett stripped down to his running trunks took the lead after the first 200 yards and was never headed, finishing twent- nine yards. Bluett was in his old time form, run- ning like a piece of machinery. The first five men finishing in order: 1—1st Sgt. N. Bluett, Co C, 350th M. G. Battalion. 2—Copt. Alvin L. Poole, Co B, 365th infantry. 3-Private W. Hicks, Co. B, 350th M. G. Battalion. 4-1st Sgt. M. Andrews, Co. B, 350th M. G. Battalion. 5-Private L. B. Mosley, Co. C, 350th M. G. Battalion. Fear of Draft Call Causes Death of Women - Catonsville, Mo. Feb. 1- The thought of her grandson being drafted was indirectly the cause of the death of Mrs. Rebecca Turner, 80 years old. Walter Turner, 70 years old, was a questionnaire, dilled it out and returned it to the local board. With the thought preying upon her mind that he would be called to military service and leave her alone, Mrs. Turner became tempiate and began to hide cide by cutting her throat with a small razor. She is survived by five daughters, three sons and twelve grandson. Transfer of Troops Ordered San Antonio, Tex. Feb. 1.—By special orders from Brig. Gen. Johnson, 100 troops have been transferred from the 165th depot brigade to the 507th Engineer Service Battalion. Twelve privates from the Tenth company, from the Sixteenth company, 29 from the Sixteenth company, Fourth battalion, and 30 from the Seventeenth company, Fifth battalion. JOTTINGS FROM PANAMA Panama, R. P. Jan. 15.—High rents have long been a burden to the residents of Colon, on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus. From time to time the grounings of these people have been heard, but to no avail. But their protests took on a more tangible form when, on Oct. 31, a mass meeting was held in the hall of the Colon Federal Labor Union to consider the best alleviation of the oppressive conditions. Among those who were present in that gathering were Attorney V. DeSuez, Attorney Siles Aisurp, Dr. P. John Hillard, Messrs. Sable and Cauley, Attorney John B. Hunt, and headed for the residence of the governor of the province, his excellence Valerius. There they laid their grievances before him and received the response that he would take steps to consider the matter and securing the desired amelioration. Other subsequent meetings have been held, dealing with this very pressing question at the meeting his excellency Dom Jolio Arjona, secretary of justice of the republic, Gov. Vallarino of Colon, the alcalde and the chief of police. The house owners seemed to have received tenants and they of themselves also bad meetings of their own. There was also a great deal of accustomation made against the tenants and various charges published in some of the newspaper of the tenants. Now that the government is directly interested in the question, the tenants are hoping for a speedy settlement of their debt. The government is price paid for a room test feet in the city of 'tolon ranges' from $15 to $54. Panama silver currency. Some night rooms were being rented for less than half of what is being charged for them now, and this in view of the fact that the tenants are by no means more than what they were earning at that time. As it stands today the tenants are their time and awaiting the decision which will be made by the government: What the Defender Has Done What the Detendant Has Done An argument that slaps southern propagandists who, following the wholesale immigration and exodus from the south, circulated false stories of the distrust of northern industries; who painted harrowing pictures of dire conditions suffered here, and endearced to convey to the ignorant that the north offered no assistance in solving the problem of a livelihood, is the testimony of Robert A. Wilson, son of Atlanta, Ga., who made his advent into the north and reaped success. Following he relates how he rose from a pitiful life to form $6, to $10 million. "I landed in Chicago April 2 with one nickel and a Lincoln penny. I spent the day at the fender office and the penny for a handful of peanuts to satisfy that pang of hunger. After interviewing Mr. Abu Al-Assad, I was viciously advised to see Mr. Hill of the Urban League, which would enable me to secure employment. I left with the good news that I was good. I put up at a rooming house and made enough money to pay my room rent. After I had made enough money, I went to rent for my wife, who came on the $25. "Keeping in touch with the Defender office and the Urban League, I was advised that men were wanted in Rockefeller and I went to the Rockford Mallable Iron Works, starting at $2.25 a day. A little while later I received an increase to $2.50, and when I worked two weeks longer, was raised to $2.75 per day, and I was able to work all the time I have learned the packer's trade, doing piece work and making from $4 to $5.50 a day. I now have a little bank account, a house and lot, and an adjoining lot which I purchased recently. I have a penny, and his wife have joined me to share the good spirit and returns of the hospitalable north." Thus ends the romance of the lone penny, and the man who made opportunity for himself. What did the Defender do for you? Write and send your picture. PAGE: ELEVEN SEGREGATION OF RACE PATIENT IS IS ORDERED Washington, D.C., Feb. 1. The practice of discharging soldiers in the same hospital wards in mobilization camps in Texas will have to be discontinued immediately, was announced by the gas Congressman Garner, in referring to the report that investigation of hospital management and conditions at the wards Antonio, had disclosed that no effort had been made to segregate the races in the various wards. The surgeon general said he would discontinue this practice should cause it, is likewise that the practice of seating white and black convalescent soldiers at the same table will be discontinued immediately after the order issued by General Gorgus. Several days ago complaint concerning the management of the Camp Bowie grassman Garner, and he called the matter to the attention of both Secretary Baker and General Gorgas. Secretary Baker said that an investigation be made and an investigation was not the intention of the department that slick soldiers of the two races be placed together in the same words. Secretary Baker should an investigation reveal conditions such as were complained of, he would see to it that the practice would be stopped on Saturday as soon as the report from the southern department was received.

HOMESTEAD ACT OPENS ACRES OF LAND TO RACE Western States Call Farmers BY BAILEY McFALL Secretary of the Interior Lance of the State Department, at Washington, D.C., recently announced the designation for entry under the stock raising homestead act of approximately 25,000 acres of land in North Dakota. These lands are found to be non-timbered and non-irrigable, chiefly valuable for growing and raising forage crops, and are reasonably required for the support of a family. Applications to enter have already been filed for a large part of the land and will now be allowed if found otherwise. The classification of lands in the west under the stock raising homestead act is proceeding at a remarkable rate, the Rio Grande river country in Texas. The homesteads maintain over 200,000 acres of unappropriated, vacant public lands of the United States, and defined by the 640-acre stock raising homestead act passed by congress in December, 1916, as stock raising facilities in the land offer the practical farmer the finest lambing grounds and cattle raising facilities on the continent, affording a summer and winter range, where fuel and timber are available for fencing and building, with perfect climate and climate raising and finishing. During the winter months the work in North Dakota does not progress as rapidly as in summer; the snowfall is in the southwest section, where the snow work is confined. In the Taos Valley, in New Mexico, which is bordered by the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and extending only fifty miles south from the border, the climate is quite climatee. Good winter when the land is absolutely free from stone. The land around and about the hills and ridges is mostly covered with sagebrush and pine trees. The habitable area free from brush, and the soil so loose that one could drill in grain without plowing it. Different kinds of forage crops can be grown for cattle and sheep. The rainy season is from June to September, and the area free of July, August and September, and the snowfalls during the winter range for the term of October, November and December. The spring rains are in the months of April and May, but are moderately sparing and of a trivial nature. In the course of travel through the states of Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Wyoming, occasionally one will see a person of Color engaged in agricultural pursuits. The reason for this is that the southern farmer who desires to go west is often a farmer for stock raising and other farming activities that await his labor in these states, and the fright that he entertains for seeking better conditions and financial security in conspicuous security. Under the home-steed entry act passed by congress in December, 1916, it is pleasing to note that aurgent number of men of Color hold a hold on the land, and from all indications, are determined to feel free and active as a part of the commercial world, and not as serfs, whose bodies are dwindling away, whose amount of opportunity and advantage. CHILD BADLY BURNED Philadelphia, 16th, Feb. 1—Vikram Tallaford, 5 years old, 61S Panama street, was sleeping near the kitchen of a school where children, it is believed, accidentally set fire to the couch upon which she was lying. Her clothing was ignited and the children were taken to the Pennsylvania hospital, where she died Tuesday morning. Ward Chapel Raises $1,079.76 CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Peoria, IL. Feb. 1.

Advertising Rates Furnished on Application ALFRED ANDERSON, Associate Editor WISHING We sometimes wish, as Father Time too harshly with us plays. That we could drift back for a while to those sweet other days. When life seemed only bubbles, fully castles filled with fun. That burst in all their splendor as we blew another one. But little use there is to wish when fate decrees it best. We pass but once along Life's way with barely time to rest; And so live in the present, let the past from memory slide— If wishes were but horses, every beggar then could ride. WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT For forty years, well nigh; indeed, since the criminal bargain by which Hayes went to the White House and Tilden was sent to the timbers, the political prosperity of the "white South" has rested upon the political degradation of one-third of the population of the South and the connivance of the stupid North in the crime. That this condition could not endure wise men knew; but, none being so foolish as unpursued criminals, the South—the "white South"—has dreamed a century of uninterrupted rule through its ignorance, its brutality and its ability to mislead the childlike North. Events are stubborn and now prove, even to the "white South," that Progress is blind to all save the future, and deaf to all save her own voice. States' rights, upon which the South moved and prospered, and upon which her hopes were set, are again shot to pieces; this time in peace. The "white South" is howling, and the friends of the "white South" are also howling, not with her, but at her. The vote by which national prohibition was sent to the states was obtained upon the unanimous support of Southern members of the congress. The vote by which the suffrage for women was sent to the states for ratification came to the edge of defeat because the unanimous support of Southern members of congress was thrown against the measure—that is to say, the South was eager to saddle prohibition upon Massachusetts and Illinois, but the South was not willing to have Illinois and Massachusetts saddle universal suffrage upon her. A drink to no one anywhere; a vote to women and some men everywhere except in Dixie—that is the slogan of the South. Up speaks the New York World, forceful organ of the Democratic party and long partner in crime with the "white South" in its robbery of the political rights of the Negro and the North alike. The parting of the ways is reacted. Familiar with the brow that wore it, the mask of the "white South" is torn away by the merciless World. Rebuking the South as a land of the Jim Crow and reading for that land of barbarism the handwriting on the wall, the World says: According to reports from Washington, various Democratic congressmen are dubious about the administration railroad bill, because they "fear the proposed legislation with the Jim Crow laws of the South." That is about what might have been expected. The Democracy of the South is largely a Jim Crow Democracy. Nothing else matters much. To keep the Negro from voting, the Fifteenth Amendment has been nullified. To keep the Negro sober in order that he will work more steadily, the South proposes to fasten prohibition upon the rest of the country. To keep the Negro out of the white man's railroad cars is a subject that would naturally appeal to the average Southern Democrat. It represents the one political principle to which he consistently adheres. If Jim Crowism is menaced in any way by the administration's railroad bill, Southern Democracy in congress can be counted on to join hands with Old Guard Republicanism in the North to hold up the measure, whatever effect delay may have on the winning of the war. Making the world safe for democracy is not half so important as keeping the South safe for Jim Crowism. So here is a faithful picture of the South, drawn by a faithful friend whose patience waned while its heart was yet full. "Naturally appeals to the average Southern Democrat," says the World, of any measure that seeks or encompasses the degradation of that Race whom the South has never forgiven, and will never forgive, for shooting the flag of secession out of the traitorous hands of Jefferson Davis. So much for distant parts. At home all is not well with Dixie. The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, that bears the burden of a nightmare when thoughts of the equality of men under the law steal upon it, is feverish with anxiety. The death of states' rights, argues this widow of a thousand crimes, is promise of the restoration of the simple rights of the Negro under the federal law. Rich in reading and history are the admissions, pleadings, rebukes and threats of the Telegraph, which says: For all the years Southern Democrats have pleaded and succeeded in continuing immunity from invocation of the Negro suffrage amendments, they stand today before the nation as guiding their own impassioned stands of the past with sophistry and cynicism when it comes to dealing with the local affairs of other states. We have contended that suffrage is a state matter—even though the constitution of the republic has been amended to the effect it is not—and we have demanded that the North, which does not think as we do, and which does not limit its suffrage as we do, keep hands off our defiance of the constitution. The North has done that. But when the drive of the Cannons and Felders and Ham Pattersons and the rest of them centered on our own great apostles of constitutional democracy, they have not hesitated to do to the Northern states the very thing they had declared that the Northern states should not do to them. The Negro Will Vote Again If the national prohibition amendment becomes law, and it can only do so by Southern legislatures making it so, the Negro will be voting again in Georgia and in every Southern state, even though it takes a regiment of federal soldiers to guard every polling place to see that he does. When the emissaries of the states' rights South mocked their ancient and dearly chaliced political heritage in the face of the federalizing party of the nation and out-unionized the North and East and West, then the South as far as that went out from under its own feet the last excuse for white suffrage it had. We may as well stare this fact in the face and recognize it for what it is. The New York World does not speak idly, nor spitefully. It is a great newspaper that has always been loyal to the Democratic party. It has stood loyally by the South and those peculiarly Southern political institutions by which our local governments thrive. It speaks now with authority and on sound ground. We have done this thing ourselves through our accredited representatives in congress and we have but one chance to retrieve what has been so largely tossed away on a shallow "moral" ground. Our general assembly can restate to the nation this state's fidelity to the principle on which this Union was founded. It can repudiate in its own intelligent section the stampeded stupidity of its congressmen and write the record high to our sister states that Georgia is still an American commonwealth, sovereign and self-governing, and stands for the greatest measure of similar political integrity for all other states. We must and will repudiate the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment, just as we must and will repudiate the prohibition amendment. Both mean exactly the same thing to the Georgia white men and women—the establishment of the Negro in full and complete voting citizenship in our commonwealth, although they would bring it about in different fashion. And God knows there are plenty of Georgians of this day and time who can recall from actual experience what that will and does mean. And so on. All of which points to the day when humble and honest men will get their dues, the thieves having fallen out. The Negro will vote again in Georgia, though not a single federal soldier is in sight. That is as sure as the stars shine, if the government is to live. CONTRABAND GOODS -IF IT ONLY PASSES INSPECTION OVER THERE- CONTENTS HATRED MALICE JIM CROWISM PREDJUDICE AGAINST COLORED U.S. TROOPERS TO FRANCE MADE IN DIXIE U.S. SATAN ROU HOGGAN The South had just as well understand this now as later on. The North is tired of the double power of the improvident South in the congress. The Negro is tired of hearing taxation without voice in his own government. And civilization is tired of the brutal conduct of a vulgar people who want a living without working for it and who seek influence without responsibility. "God knows," wails the Telegraph. That is exactly the point. He does know. And the South is about to find out that He knows. Investigating Committees INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES have a habit of wasting a lot of valuable time and surrounding themselves with so much red tape that by the time their report is ready to be made conditions have changed so as to make the report practically worthless. We should like to have some one rise—we are the gallery—and mention one "new" phase of the color question that has not been addressed in the instructions and recommendations, all of which have been as effective as pouring water into the bird. The bringing of any evil to light, of course, has a salutary effect, and occasionally conditions are vastly improved. We are given the credit of being optimists, and we are, or we never would be here today; but why we are not the rankest kind of pessimists is hard to fathom when everything tends to make us so. We are told that a Democratic governor in a Democratic state—Missouri—is about to appoint a commission whose date it will take. The whys and whereofs of the exodus and any other little thing concerning us that happens to fall its way. Joy be with it. But before taking up new burdens, wouldn't it be wise to get rid of the old ones first? Wouldn't it give the new move a stamp of sincerity? There can be no question in the minds of the intelligent that lynching, "Jim Crowisms" in every form and harmful prejudices have no place in a truly democratic country. Must it not seem the greatest threat to other countries to hear the blatant cry of Americans for a world democracy? What we need is not investigating committees, but rectifying committees, that would include in their membership every man, woman and child who has been inoculated with color virus. Just in passing it might be remarked that the distant rumbling heard might be caused by twelve million people snapping slowly but surely the chains that have bound them many weary years. The Goddess of Liberty standing in the harbor of New York might some day not be a mockery. There are many things that our friends have yet to learn, the most vital being that there is always a day of reckoning, for the same hand that guards them also guards us, and we are all judged by the talents we have. And Then, Maybe Not In the course of an able speech made before his annual Negro Conference, Principal William Holtzkow of the Utica (Miss.) Institute let drop this philosophic pearl: "But only a small proportion of the Race is going to find its way out of the South. The great majority of the Negroes are going to remain right here in the place of their birth, among their friends, suffer whatever may come, have their ups and downs, and, in the final analysis, will continue to live side by side with their white neighbors." "Ups and downs"—particularly "downs." That is to say, Mr. Holtzclaw, that the Jim Crow car is going; the tollor will be restored to the hands of the Race; our women will no longer be at the mercy of a polite society of libertines, and the law will be placed above lawlessness. Otherwise "the great majority" of the Race will not remain "right here in the place of their birth." And no sensible man would ask them to remain. Mr. Holtzclaw was wiser in this phrase: "I plead again today, as I have for years, for the influence of the white race in the matter of uplift of my people through education, and I call attention to the things that are now transpiring abroad as proof that the neglect of the white race to educate the Negro population in the South will prove seriously detrimental in the end." For the degradation, the poverty, the fear, the ignorance and the sorrows that mark the life of the Race, the southern white man must pay. It is his debt, and God is the bookkeeper. Principal Gregg Hampton and the Race, together with the loyal friends of progress throughout the North, and cause for increased hope in the election of Dr. Gregg to the principalship of our foremost vocational university. Since the rebellion Hampton has occupied first place in the scheme for Negro education. There seems to be no reason to fear any change in this regard. Tuskegee and Hampton, one of the platform of our friends, the other our own platform, will likely remain for five years, learning and learning but capitales of that larger plan and labor which have to do with the emancipation of the Negro from ignorance and the South from barbism. Dr. Gregg has behind him a long and solid record. He is a Christian who seems to have religion. In America that is a big point. He comes to us with an open mind and a made-up heart. He will see all, hear much, but remember that, though "white" in color, he is a premier of millions not white. He has our confidence and good will. The board of trustees of Hampton recommend him unanimously. Doctor Moton has placed his seal of approval upon him. The Dr. Gregg will have by his side, as advocate and friend, Roscoe Conkling Simmons, interpreter and defender of Hampton and Tuskegee, and popular figure with the masses of the Race. We don't see how Dr. Gregg can fall down. He can go to pieces, but he ought not to. Poor Business Among the stupid mongrels who bargain and barter upon the condition of the Race, particularly in the South, none is more despicable than that figure who went about and still goes about preaching to the Race to remain in the land of slavery. For a smile, a crust of bread and a few miserable shekols from the hands of the white South, this traitor and time-server has sold, and still sells, his own to the lash and torch of the barbarians. Preyed at a northerner, who allows the impression to prevail that he is an official of the depicted, he is heard throughout the South. He, a resident of the North, was either preacher, or prayer, sometimes both, in the cause of the slaveholders, it is said, and upon the death, the claim goes, of the slaveholders in the task of keeping the Race in the South. He is unimportant, save as a type. Everybody knows him. Eminent clown, handsome in bearing and features, soft in voice, preacher without a church, writer with no convictions to retard, scholar without an alphabet, he has his eye on the main chance. But there are others of respectability who are accused along with this man. Let such quit the company. Automobiles Vs. Bank Accounts THE WAR, of course, has made the price of cotton soar, and farmers have made a barrel of money, with the prospect of making a barrel more. Prosperity is something that one cannot carry without losing his equilibrium, but it is something that is highly expensive automobiles and other luxuries that should come only when a stable foundation in a twinkler, the saved dollar is the only worldly thing men respect. What we need most right now is coin of the realm. With that we can dictate—without it we must stand to be dictated to. Let the pleasures slide for the time being; bank every dollar; make hay while the sun shines, for the clouds are sure to come sooner or later. Allow the comforts and frills of life, but let us get the substantial, worth-while things first. WE ARE LEARNING to do without a lot of things we thought absolutely essential to our happiness and well-being, and, strange to say, we are just as well and hearty as we ever were. Necessity is a wonderful teacher. FUNNY THE COPS don't have to tell people they see at Thirty-fifth and State streets to "move on." Wonder if this below-zero weather has anything to do with it? Don't answer. DOUBTLESS what Roosevelt thinks of Wilson and what Wilson thinks of Roosevelt wouldn't look well in print, and, besides, who's going to print it? DIGGING SNOW isn't exactly like digging trenches, but it's all a part of the big scheme to keep the wheels moving, so get hurt! JUSTICE (On the South) "They have taken my boy a prisoner; My boy, who kidnapped my pigeon, Who when only a little shiver, Stood close at my knee and cried Because he had found in the meadow, Near the edge of the bubbling spring A bird, with its breast all crimsoned, And a pitiful broken wing. He stood with the hot tears falling On the birth of his outstretched hand; I was proud of his boyish weeping. For I loved, and could understand. But this thing you have laid to his doing. Is so foreign to all that I know, I tell you, my boy is guiltless; Release him and let him go. Do you think with his heart so tender, He is guilty of this foul thing? Because you must punish someone, Must it be my boy who must swing? Well, I am his mother! I love him. If someone must suffer and die, And the law he appeased; God in heaven. That one, of the world, shall be I." L'Envoi My heart goes back through the ages, To an older, older time, To that other Son and Mother, And another people's crime; To a Calvary, and crosses Standing on a distant hill— And I know and has a reason; He is with his people still. —Edna Perry Booth, Brooklyn, N. Y. HE COULDN'T SEE IT NEITHER DO WE An incident peculiar to the south occurred a few days ago, according to a detailed report from an authentic source. A northern soldier, white, with no responsibility toward life, arrived in southern Louisiana to encampment. He asked it, cracker standing near the railroad station: "How should I, from the north, treat the Negro while in the south? "Who's him off the street," was the answer. In writing to a northern friend, the soldier ends his letter with the remark, "I can't see it." And that is just what the world at large, barring the "lynch zone," says. They see it, and there is no reason why they see it. The incident goes far to show the man in the red necks below the Mason and Dixon line try to contaminate everyone they come in contact with by poison and untimely prejudice. The south and the north, no doubt, wonders at the fact that of the south have not yet learned their own problem, if you can call the situation such, and he rightfully resolved to let any contact with the Race work own finish. The folks below will come to do the same. There are several different kinds of democracy in America, and not of them favors our people in the south. OUR NEW CARTOONIST Dear Mr. Abbott May I say a word in praise of the cartoon "In State Of All," which appeared in last week's Defender? It was not only a work of finished art from the standpoint of the craftsman's exactions, but the spirit that guided him and the pencil of the artist: imparting to him intangible SOME-THING; felt, but not seen or described, that grips and stingy emotions, was a mighty close neighbor of GENIUS. The Defender, in fact, the world's greatest weedy; without a shadow or a rival, has during its brilliant and meteoric life given to the Race from the peas of its editors and editorsors, much that has touched the high point of intellectual achievement, but nothing that has surpassed in force and aptness that pictured editorial from the flame lissed pencil of Mr. Hoggette.

CHICAGO FEB. 2, 1918 No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles THE FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS FORMULATED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH person suffering from an open case of pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption may be permitted to attend school or minors. person suffering from an open case of pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption shall be permitted to attend school or school children in or about school buildings." Rule 7- The Sale of Milk, Groceries, Etc "Whenover an 'ope case' of pulmonary tuberculosis is found to exist in premises where milk or other food- Rûle 9—Nurzes "No nurse suffering from open pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption, or being in danger in the nursing, attendance or care of young children or sick persons." stuffs are either produced, handed or sold, the sale, exchange or distribution in any manner whatsoever of any milk, cream or other milk products, groceries or vegetables, meats or other foodstuff is strictly prohibited until the case is terminated by an arrest of the disease or by removal or death and the premises have been thoroughly disin- ```markdown ``` It is a known fact that pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption is often directly traceable to the housing conditions. The house you live in has a great deal to do with not only your moral and intellectual outlook, but your moral and health; dingy, dark rooms, bad plumbing, gaudy and unclean sunlight, various gases and fumes, have a very deleterious effect upon one's health. In many of the houses that were rented to people of Color in the past, nay more, now in the present, many of the houses where the devices were and are filled with only tubercle bacilli, but with the germs of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other infectious diseases; and, with the new occupant taking possession of the old abandoned premises before they were disinfected and rendered sanitary, were disinfected and sponsored for a large amount of the physical disabilities among not only the Colored people, but of the poor classes and laboring classes in general. Rule 10—Notification of Death or Re- DR. WILLIAMS efected. Provided, that when, in the opinion of the health officer, based upon personal inspection of the premises, the individual suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis or respiratory disease is so isolated that he does not come in contact with milk, cream or other milk products, cereries, vegetables, meats or other food-stuffs offered for sale, barter, exchange or distribution, and does not come into the room or rooms in which such food-stuffs are stored, held or offered for sale, barter, exchange or distribution, and in a other precautionary measures are carried out, in a way as to safeguard the public the members of the household, the health officer may, at his discretion, modify this provision of this paragraph." With this rule the health department seeks to remedy the long neglected condition of renting and occupying insantary houses, and we welcome this new rule because we see in it where an immense amount of good may accrue not only to Colored, but to all people. "It is the duty of the owner or agent of any premises in which a person suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption has resided, to promptly notify the local health official of the death or removal of the tuberculosis person; and such owner or agent shall not rent lease nor sell such premises or permit same to be occupied by any other person or persons than the family or household of the tuberculosis person until the premises shall have been disinfected as hereinafter provided. This paragraph just mentioned above, dear readers, means the ending of the person handling your foodstuffs, milk, groceries, vegetables, etc., at the same time coughing and splitting around and eating the grocery, bakery or dairy. The rules states that a person suffering with pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption shall not engage in any manner in the preparation of foodstuffs, milk or milk products, groceries, vegetables, meats, etc., until it has been uncertained that the person is not an "open case" and is in no danger of spreading the infection. Rule 11—This rule provides for the disinfection of the sick room and all other premises that have been occupied by the tuberculous person before the same room or rooms may be occupied by other person or persons. Rule 8-Exclusions From Schools "No child, under 18, suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis in school defined in Rule 5 (which was quoted in our article last week), shall be employed as a teacher in any school nor shall such a tuberculosis or consumption be permitted to serve in any capacity in the school building. No child, or young Let us co-operate, as all good citizens should, with the state health department or local health department in strictly enforcing and living up to the these rules, for we are splendid weapons with which to fight tuberculosis. REALIZATIONS To the dreamer, alone, though the crowd was dense, Came dreams of a fortune great— The liveried servant, the mansion tall, The gold, the silver plate. Then he awoke to the world of things, And dreaming did eschew; He hid himself in a mass of work, And let his dreams came true. The Christian dreamed of the pearly gates And the shining streets of gold, The starry crown, unending joys By prophets long foretold: And then he turned from his dream aside, To lend a hand to you And to another fellow-man, And let his dream came true. The Black man dreamed of the days to come, When men are judged by worth; When prejudice is cast aside, When justice rules the earth. And then, inspired by the vision bright, He worked with strength anew To fit himself for the coming day, And let his dream came true. For visions old and visions new, Born of a soul's desire, Have always entered the heart of man And imaged themselves with fire; And oftimes dreams have come to me, And oftimes come to you; But only we who have worked and dreamed Have seen these dreams come true. —ORLANDO C. W. TAYLOR, A. B. A Greater Chicago Defender To the Public: A Greater Chicago Defender To the Public: The Chicago Defender is preparing to give the reading public a greater paper than it is now publishing. A full sixteen-page, up-to-date newspaper, carrying a full page of news interesting to women; two of sports; theatrical news; a column for children; fashions; a good live editorial page; cartoons excelled by none; pictorial history of world events pertaining to the Race; a soldiers' page, and a regular page on the war, written by a Defender reporter who will be with the troops. We will attempt something new, also set a precedent for journals, by sending one of OUR REPORTERS with the boys "over there" in France and by giving to the public its FIRST SIXTEEN-PAGE WEEKLY paper issued every week instead of on Christmas and during business-boosting campaigns. It must be conceded that we have not only excelled in the field of journalism, but have always been in the lead in matters of public import, the first to speak out fearlessly and truthfully in the interest of the people without regard to whom it hurt. We wait only upon Washington and the proposed zone system. If satisfactory we will start at once; only adverse legislation will keep us from our aims. Write your friends in your home town to have them get their city in on the bigger Defender. Due notice will be given when we intend running the first issue of the Greater Defender. We wish to thank the public for their loyal support in the past, and promise them that the Chicago Defender shall continue to be "The World's Greatest Weekly" in the future, striving its utmost to serve all the people, both black and white.
