Mrs. Elkella Randolph, 4255 Wabash avenue, is at the Post-Graduate hospital with three bullet holes in her breast from pistol shots fired by Robert Patterson, aged 26, who works in the "Loop." Mr. Randolph was not at home when the shooting occurred. Mr. Patterson is a single man. The two were in Mrs. Randolph's parlor Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. About 8:30 p. m., several shots were fired. Boarders screamed, neighbors ran in, and it was discovered that Mrs. Randolph was shot three times in the breast. Patterson summoned a white doctor. A nurse next door came to the house immediately, offering her services, and wanted to go with Mrs. Randolph to Provident hospital. Patterson, it is said, objected and had her sent to the Post-Graduate hospital (white). Refuse to Give Information A Defender representative called at the house Monday, and a portly lady answered the door, but would not give any information about the shootings. He found where the body was taken in the basement of the Post-graduate hospital, who said that Mrs. Randolph was shot in the breast and that the ball glanced down toward the left hip and came out. A Dr. McNealy (white), 424 Indiana aviator, said that the physician secured by Mr. Patterson.

Polk, for forty-seven years pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church, died Sunday morning at his home on Lexington street. His health had been falling for some time. He came to Midway in 1871 and shortly afterward organized the Pilgrim Baptist church he married in May, 1868, to Miss Mary Bohannon. From this union twelve children were born, all of which were well educated, several becoming professional and business men. He was a wise counselor and always devoted his time towards bringing about good feeling between the two races. The snow was so cold that he passed the Pilgrim church that it impossible to have the funeral services there and the white Presbyterian minister tendered the use of his church for that purpose.

AL ON Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY SATURDAY CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 9, 1918 SATURDAY SHOT WHILE HUSBAND IS A TOR BOY KILLED IN SIEGEL- NOT WALKING ON THE ROAD Favors Anything to Open the Gates for His People Colonel Simmons in Another Able Address, This Time In California Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 8.—Two thousand persons were turned away at the Roscoe Conkling Simmons meeting here on Jan. 29. It was the largest demonstration ever witnessed on the coast and when the great orator had finished he was besieged with invitations from both Race and white organizations. On the following Sunday he spoke in Los Angeles' biggest hall, following a plea of the white citizens to hear him. On Friday, Feb. 1, he spoke in the Pasadena Y. M. C. A. and the Los Angeles city council attended the meeting in a body. The entire audiences at all three meetings were carried away with the cloquence of the speaker. Col. Simmons was besieged by reporters of the daily newspapers and by one of the Defender staff artists, the latter insisting that the orator give out some statement on the controversy that has broken loose in congress. "I must not be drawn into this important discussion," said Col. Simmons, "but I must not forget that my people, forming one-ninth of the population of the nation, are interested in all things touching either the weak or wane of their native land. "Col. Roosevelt needs no defense at my hands. His record speaks for him. None may dispute that. Nothing of good can come to us in these distress, and no one can blame his patriotism or his integrity. The country of which he is the moral light and leader, would resent that. As to my opinion of the tragedy that keeps Roosevelt out of the service, I have repeatedly said on the platform that long ago he Roosevelt ought to have been sent to France. "The greatest of the blunders of the conduct of the present war is in the fear or politics that prevents the nation from using the services of that man who can best serve it." "What about Stone?" your correspondent asked. "Stone." What Stone?" snapped the orator's arm as he talked about Gun Shoe Bill." he went on, "let me dismiss him and his assault upon Roosevelt by reminding you that this same Stone was denounced by President Wilson months ago among the wilful six who stood between the American and French sides in the war resolution. His conduct condemns him, and his criticism of Roosevelt or anybody else of any respectable hearing." Though an ardent Republican, and outspoken for Roosevelt for the nomination, he second to none in his support of the war aims and policies of President Wilson. His speeches on patriotism are famous. On the Wilinson-Chamberlain falling out, Col. Simmons merely said that it is important for the country, whose welfare was beyond senators and presidents. "I will say," said Col. Simmons, "that I favor, along with my people, Senator Chamberbain's bill providing for universal military training. That bill would open the gates still wider for my people. I favor anything that will do that, you know. It would be between the senator and the President." concluded Col. Simmons, "is a Democratic affair. The Democratic party is built wrong, and is about due to go to pieces." From here Col. Simmons went to San Francisco. He plans to return to Chicago about Feb. 13. MAJ. JACKSON HOLDS BUT ONE OFFICE There are a few honest persons who have been led to believe that Major Jackson is holding two offices. They feel that his aldermanic candidacy is injured there because of his lack of experience, as others have been deceived on almost all the facts and issues in this campaign. The fact is, that Major Jackson was elected to the Legislature in the fall of 1916 for two years. He entered upon his office in the fall of 1917, and ended in June, 1917. Although a legislator is elected for two years, he only serves one session next following his election, and then he is practically out of office, so far as the transaction of public business concerned in his case with Jackson. He will not have to attend to any further business as a representative and his successor, a new member to be elected this fall—1918—will attend the next session of the Legislature. In the light of these facts, the legislative connections and experience of Major Jackson are greatly in his favor. This is the view taken by the best white people of this city, Guy Guernsey, like Mayor Gay, the last legislator, is put up by the Republicans of the Seventh Ward for Alderman; John H. Lyle, for the same reason, is put up in the Thirty-second Ward for Alderman; Frank Self, for the same reason, is put up in the Twenty-second Ward for Alderman. It is only in the Second Ward that there is any attempt to dissuade a candidate because no official answer can be given if white men of the last Legislature are not forward for this reason to be members of the City Council, should not Major Jackson be sent as well from the Second Ward? CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 9, 1918 Urban League in Conference Affiliated Organizations Meet in New York; Big People Behind Movement New York, Feb. 8.—A conference of affiliated organizations of the National Urban League was held Jan. 28, 29 and 30 at the Russell Sage Foundation Building, Twenty-second street and Lexington avenue. The first session was called to order Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 2 o'clock, by Dr. E. P. Roberts, chairman of the New York local committee, Dr. Roberts introduced Hex. Wm. M. Miss, pastor of the Concord Baptist church, Brooklyn, who welcomed the delegates to the city. Miss Elizabeth Walton, member of the executive board and vice chairman of the New York local committee, and Dr. T. O. Fuller, Memphis, Tennessee, responded, Historical sketches of the organization and its growth were given by Miss Walton, New York; Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Nashville; Penn.; Mrs. S. W. Layton, Nashville; Pa.; and L. Hollingsworth, Worth vice president of the National Urban League. Miss Walton, speaking on the "Sirit of the Founders," said: "The objects of this organization are to bring about co-ordination and co-operation among existing agencies and organizations foraving the industrial, economic, social, agricultural, and to develop other agencies and organizations where necessary; to secure and train Negro social workers; to make studies of the industrial, economic, and spiritual conditions among Negroes, and in general to promote encouragement, assist and engage in up-grading and improving the industrial, economic, social and spiritual conditions among Negroes. *Mrs. S. W. Layten of the Association for Protection of Colored Women, Philadelphia, Pa., told of the trying times the league encountered in endeavoring to establish missions at the alliance railway stations. Mrs. Layten also visited Hampton, Va., visited their first meeting of the Philadelphia association and asked that they co-operate with the Hampton conference. An organization was also effected in Baltimore, Md., in 1907 the National Association for the Protection of Colored Women was organized. In 1908 Chinchini was organized an organization started there. After that work was reorganized and named the League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. In 1908 Chicago, Ill., was visited and a branch organization started there; but in Chicago the stations were not willing to have a worker, and the movement died down. Later Dr. Jones and L. Hollowsworth Wood, president of the National League, suggested the establishment of a permanent league in Chicago and T. M. Pilot Hill was collected as the man to pilot the cause. Horace Bridges, member of the executive board of the Chicago League and leader of the Ethical Culture Society, said in part, that it is the spirit of Chicago League to provide something unique to spirt the people of that city and to avoid all disgraceful happenings, as that of East St, Louis, IL. William C. Graves, secretary to Julius Rosenwald, a member of the Chicago Urban League, said that efforts to establish 'Boys' and 'Mr. Jones' cages as a blessing, and that if the league can point the way for extensive housing work in that city, Mr. Rosenwald is in position to finance such a proposition. A. L. Manly of the Army Chester, Pa., spoke on the labor union situation, and thought that it might be well for the Race to hesitate a while before entering the unions, but it was the sense of the majority who participated in the open discussion that the race should be held, whites as soon as possible for the mutual advancement of both races. Tuesday evening, Jan. 29, a large mass meeting was held at the Metropolitan Baptist church, 130 W. 182th street, presided over by Hon. Charles street, presided over by Hon. Charles from various local leagues representatives from various local leagues sections of the country gave a resume of their work. Among those appearing were T. Arnold Hill, Chicago; John T. Clark, Pittsburgh; Mrs. S. W. Layton, Philadelphia; Rev. T. H. Dwelle, Auctioneer; Rev. T. H. Dwelle, North Kaly, Va.; Rev. Batchelor, Trean Leonard Jackson, White Plains; Wm. Ashby, Newark; Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Nashville, Teen: Miss Elise Mountain, Columbus, O.; Mrs. G. E. McDougall, New York; C. Bion Smith, Jersey City, New York; M. Memphis, Teen: A. L. Manly, Philadelphia, and Roger N. Baldwin, St. Louis. At a session Wednesday morning Eugene Klinekles Jones, executive secretary of the National League, presided. Plans were discussed for increasing the league's influence and efficiency and training of workers. In the Lincoln House, a branch of Henry S. Settlement, to visiting delegates, Dr. Geo. E. Haynes, Flisk University, and educational secretary of the league, was in the chair when the session convened Thursday to discuss the labor question. Among those who took part in the discussion were Dr. R. R. Moton, New York; Dr. A. G. Graves, Pendy, New York; Dr. A. G. Graves, Hampton, Va.; Wm. C. Graves, John R. Shillind, New York; Hon. Emmet J. Scott, and L. Hollingsworth Wood, Roger N. Baldwin, St. Louis, stated that a committee had been appointed to attend the sessions of the American Federation of Labor on Feb. 11, Washington C. and G. confer with the Department of labor heads regarding the appointment of two Colored assistants in each of the burcus to adjust and distribute labor.

All Chicago Fights Jim Crow Fraternity Never before has such interest been manifested by the public at large in downing a segregation propaganda as was shown last week when the Defender had warned the citizens of Chicago of the proposed Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, now in embryo at the University of Chicago. Unquestionably, a military effort is being put forth by prominent citizens to obliterate the every movement of this "Jim Crow skeleton of a Greek letter fraternity." A number of personal friends of the inaugurators of this discrimination idea have appealed to them carnestly to discontinue the advancement of such principles as the "Jim Crow" skeleton that have received little hearing and these "solid ivory monks" seemed determined to foster their petulous project. Citizens Comment on Move It is our only evidence, however, that the immense volume of effort shown by the citizens in their fight against the fraternity and the verbal utterances by telephone, letters and telegrams from out-of-town folk that the segregationists are accomplishing a university harm and are stamping a gigantic approval on the plan to segregate students throughout all the leading universities of the country. Since the segregationists have been on the "moving shilts" of this society, namely, Cecil Lewis, N. M. Willis, George Ellis and E. G. Brown, a deepest bunch of these shilly-shallpile dreamers and ignorance appealed to a young woman. In other words, hid beneath the shilts, she concealed to appease their desire by favoring us with a poorly gotten up piece of explanatory document which greatly lacked basic principles of social advancement or constructive reasoning. Of the remarks we are lead to wake through this mess of mildewed pau: "One asks why the members of the new fraternity did not connect themselves with organizations already in existence at the university. The answer is that Colored students have waited just twenty-seven years, or what part of that time there have been Colored students of that university of Chicago, for invitation to membership in fraternities whose activities are purely social." Another Case Cited. We would like to call the attention of this band of weak knees to the case of one Walter F. Gerrick, a junior in the medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, who has been accepted to the medical school of the University Society of that institution after the doors had been barred to students of his Race, NOT for TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS, but for aperiod covering EIGHTY-EIGHT years. And this society's missions are "purely social" on various occasions. The sense of the mission is that the predecessors stood for equal rights, unlift and educational advancement, while the other group stands for the defeat of ideal betterment. Whom do we have the most respect for, a group of men who stood out eighty-six years of help, or a bunch of men who proved successful in careers after twenty-seven years' trial? We read further in this letter of ravings: "Let us not censure him for not knowing the things which we ourselves did not know when we came from the Southland." The above sentence explains precisely and clearly the reason why the citizens of the cosmopolitan city of Chicago have concerted their efforts in order to censor all furnished ideas that are not in compliance and advanced to their degradation, by brother from the Southland; it is conceded that he is well schooled in the art of prejudice, and if not noticed carefully, by force of habit, he may unthinkingly draw the line on him unintentionally to move his antitreaties. Common judgment in the evidence should be the guidepost to these students, and they should profit from the teachings of the Northerner who possesses a greater degree of knowledge concerning segregation promotion to amount to anything. Race ever going to establish the rule of not censuring who is about to dig a hole for himself and be cast into eternal oblivion because of dire ignorance of native customs. It seems wise to give customers those who do not know the customs and ways of the progressive Northland. It is our duty to make them from a destructive lethargy. U. of C. Onposed to Senegation U. of. O. Opposed to Segregation C. investigation into the affair has been the face of the establishment of this policy only a forerunner to the petition for secular schools in the city. Secret plans are said to be under way to advocate a separation in the city school system primarily to secure positions for the teachers in this fraternity who expect to graduate from it. The God grant that we have a statewide separate schools, therefore defeating these infants, who should be spanked for their fool idea.) This is one of the many deprived plans the fraternity officials have in the past vigorously opposed. It has been offered on several occasions in past years in varied forms, the authorities have indignantly repudiated them and the societies that were established outside of the institution have been accredited with drawing the line within their organization. It is the common first "look at a girl's retreat" her color and style suit several individuals, she is extended a cordial invitation, otherwise she remains a nonentity as far as social life is concerned.

Shortly after his body was found in the pit his car was found on the seventh floor, the gates closed at that floor, while on the sixth floor the gates were found open, and seem that in passing up he found the door closed, tried to close same, in which position he was caught between the car and the wall, and dragged out of the ascending car. The company holds to the fact that careless operating was the cause, but it is the general belief that the employees that the car was faulty. A Defender reporter called at his home, and, climbing up a dark winding staircase, in a little room on the second floor he found his mother, Mrs. Rev. M. B. Taylor, and a younger friend, Bryon, who greeted him with a "Hello" and announced of the dreadful relief, and his mother, Mrs. Creddie, who lay stricken with paralysis. "To my mind," his mother said, "his death was caused by a faulty machine, which he lost control of in trying to close the door on the sixth floor." Burks on the shaft wall show just how much money and clothes, and today he lies on the car and the wall, and the printing is knocked off, showing plidly how he struggled to free himself."

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 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 bristle 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.

The Grand Munid Sisters, a pair of clever, chassis cars, were on Monday and fared well. They do several things along the line of passing comment. "They were followed passing comment." by Barber & Jackson, an elongated comedian with a long partner, presenting a line of entertainment for a few sons. They have been seen here before, and have had a life illified by Grand audiences. The middle of the Fiftieth Century, Harrison & Harrison, who have a fine singing, laughing and dancing, although the young A. B. Tony Langston bady end of the team puts over a baddie in approved style, and the great coach, who is a baddie, and although the cold weather keeps the attendance low at Monday's first show, they were forced to take a couple of bows at the end. It is a good act. Zeno & Mundel, who have a splendid offering, the story taking place outside the stadium, is making a wide endeavor, old well, making themselves favorites from the start, and the bady way above the coach. Co. a novel act which offered besides a line display of hand balancing, acrobatics, etc., some final selections on the screen. The last half of the post week had Harper & Blanks, who are familiar and popular on the Stipoll, and who have been making good on more than a few albums, with their line of new songs and talk. It is an act far above the average. The bill also lead Martin & Blanks from again, as they went well all along their engagement, and offered a "different" line of talk that caught on from the start. Their songs were also a great set of its kind seen on the Stipoll. The Avenue Jones & Johnson, the feature the last half of the past week, were the big hit all during their engagements. They were the part of an excellent bill, living was never seen to better advantage and the clever work of his partner made it an event balanced turn from beginning to end. The band Japs, with regulation week; Cammors & Jaha, a good team who introduced, among other things, a clever贾; Jack Dreadman, a passably fair nut, and Minnie Manson, a bass band and songs in a grabbing style. The Monogram Billy King Co. No. 2 is on its second big week here. Headed by Billy Higgins and Theresa Burroughs Brooks, they are offering Hotel No. 2, a increasing force. The work is in progress, with some numbers, and the work of the new leaders stands out, although most of those in the cast of ten artists have their chances. This company could stay hero for a run, as far as ability concerned, and they will always find a warm welcome when they hit the Stroll. THREATENED In a letter which arrived at the Old Boll Toll Desk on Tuesday, Salem Tutt Whitney, the famous comedian and the artist, is playing the week at the Lycumcin theater in his Smarter Set Company, threatens to make the Desk his first step on his arrival at Chicago on Sunday. To show him that there is no hard feel, he prefers a pretty, waiting for him with the thing that the folks in Detroit will be crying for after May 1st, the proverbial smile that has made the top of column presentations for the great success having this season. The Smarter Set opens their two weeks' engagement at the Grand with a two-thirty matinee paper a unit in declaring "My Bedroom is offering the Set has been for years." THE SILENT MAN "The Silent Man," which comes to the States theater for the two days, Saturday and Sunday of the present year, is a film actor, Wm. S. Hurt. Never in the history of moving pictures has there been an actor half so popular as Wm. S. Hurt. He has thrilled the universes of the past and present, and brought the days of long ago back to the present time, much to the delight of those who admire adventure and to the gratification of those who had suspicion that the feature could have no class. In "The Narrow Trail" and "The Cold Deck Big Bill was seen to great advantage, and he himself was very self, doing the things that grip throughout the entire 5,000 feet of exciting story. This particular picture is conceived by many as the best of all movies, and it is much, much, everything considered. Whether it is a fact or not, however, the patterns of the States are sure of seeing what that will long be remembered. In this picture Mr. Hart impersonates a character of that popular type with which his name has long been associated, a reception, photography and dramatic interest. Wm. S. Hart always has a hard time in his pictures, but in this one he is up against it for a fare-theatre way and in this one he is down and way and when he had struck it rich he found that someone had jumped his claim. So he promptly got busy, hold up the stars and robbed his own stakes and went wrong for him. But right at this moment—but see the play. It will hold you enthralled from beginning to end and you will surely leave the theater and you have seen a real man do his stuff.

Seeby's Quinacode is an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinacode, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about 2-3 times. Seeby's Quinacode is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, which are rich in omega-3, tough cleanser, Quinacode lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and shiny and imparts a refreshing feeling to the hair, unequalled by any other shampoo.

PAGE SIX Observer Revives History Interacting to Voters of the Second Ward One learns a great deal walking around listening to the talk of people in the town, and he always finds out oneulum namely, that the masses of the people are sound at heart and want to do something for themselves and for their Races. DoPriest a False Friend The followers of D'Albert will tell you what a great friend he is of the Race. Ask them what he has ever seen, what he has sputtered and sputtered and can give a swer, but say, "Oh, he is a friend of Race. Observer, getting no real friendship and what it amounted to begin making inquiries for himself into just political history, and now gives inquiries, and any honest man can verify the truth of every one of these statements by a few hours investiga- DePriest Raises Rents Deprist's Love of Race is Love of Self In the past sixyears, speaking purely from a political standpoint, Deprist has had a chance to show his love for people who have made them places in politics. What he helps to When he had power in the organization which he then called upon everybody to worship, he beat down every man who tried to rise. Here is his plain record: JAMES P. EARLY AND GEORGE C. HALL In 1914 DePriest went into the Republican congress as a candidate for County Commissioner. He promised James E. Early, known among his peers, that he would not be the DePriest who could not get the nomination. Early should have it. Early had been a great friend of DePriests; had been at his beck and call at all times; had been a great supporter of DePriests' interests; had wield and dined him time and again. DePriest likes good things, you know, when somebody else is paying for them. When the Republican leaders got together they refused to have anything to do with DePriest. They said he had too recently interested in electioning the governor, Geo. Hull. Madden consulted DePriest as to this. DePriest told him so, that Booker Washington was back in Hull and Hull should not have the nomination. He have the nomination, send it out of the ward." Nowwithstating his promises, he did not even mention Early and the nomination was sent out of Hull to Negro to get a chance at the leadership. THIS IS LOVE OF THE RACE DePriest Defeats Cowan Everybody knows about the famous Cowan campaign, but it is just as well to call the people's attention again to DePriest's attitude and efforts against the Race in this contest. It was just another of the ward to keep any Colored man from having it that this contest came on. The Colored people of the ward, with their property, intelligence and leadership, were an Alderman. Race leaders worked for this, and Race lovers prayed for it. DePriest was then so tied up with Alderman Norris that he could not run from the ward. He wasization from naming any Colored man. When the colored leaders discovered this they were very angry. They got together and decided to start William Cowan, a competent, reputable business man of the ability, Cowan, the Colored man, was a candidate against Norris, the white man, Cowan made a wonderful campaign, and a practically won, DePriest discovered this, and for fear some other Colored man than himself would be honored, hurried to the white ward leaders, said to have gotten about nine hours begging support of the organization because the organization meant everything to the future of the Colored man. He hired scores of men and women to serve this organization, telling the people that the organization was the ship and all else was the sea. Through his efforts he defeated, by a narrow margin, Cowan the Colored man, and the White man, he hobbled out that the "time was not ripe" to have a Colored Alderman. THIS IS BOOK DEPRIEST LOVED THE RACE LOUIS B. Anderson Double Crossed by DePriest Just before the time when the Deprist sent the county commissioners out of the ward, as above mentioned, to the town hall, he had a solemn compact with the present Alderman Anderson that Anderson was to have the Aldermenship that he would spring, and it was agreed that Deprist would have the county commissioners. Instead of keeping his word, Deprist the faith and used the power he had himself endured. We all remember that terrific fight. The organization pulled the Deprist through, but scars are still visible. Deprist ribes his opponents laid on him. The Tribal Chief cost of that fight was in a measure responsible for DePriest's landing in the Criminal Court. He was in too deep to pay the money back. Prior to this time DePriest and Anderson had been good friends. Anderson had been in the County Attorney's office, and shortly after his first election as State's Attorney, Hoyne took over the office. Anderson was employed. DePriest was then a staunch supporter of the Democrat, Mr. Hoyne, and as such promised Anderson that he would use Anderson's office to represent County Attorney's office. At the firstunity DePriest called up Hoyne and said, "There is a Colored fellow, Anderson, over in the County Attorney's office. He is no good." THIS IS HOW DEPRIEST LOVES THE RACE. DePriest Kept Race Man Off the School Board After DePriest was securely fixed in his job as Adlerman, several Colored men of more or less prominence, and would like to get on the school board. Some of the foulish enough to let DePriest know their hopes and ambitions. DePriest was Adlerman. He could not be both the mayor and the school board. When it was announced that Edward H. Morris was be named by the Mayor, it is said DePriest walked into the mayor's office and told the Mayor that he was appointed to the school board. When that a Colored man ought to be appointed member of the school board, and that Morris could not be confirmed because he was the gambler's attorney, he SHOW DEPRIEST LOVES THE BACE. As. Frenchman DePriest used to go, to a certain garage quite often where none but whites gathered. Here he used to sit on a bass and bass that he was mostly French; he was Negro blood in his veins. He explained the peculiarity of his name having the in it by his French extraction, in it was little aware that one of the men in the house had DePriest shouted his head off about his Race pride and love of Race. This man would make an affidavit at any time as to DePriest's declaration of race, and as to the lawyer in Chicago who has no interest in any fight in this ward, but from his general knowledge of matters was much amused at DePriest's declaration of race. I AM THIS SHIFTY POLITICIAN, DEPRIEST, LOVES HIS RACE. DePriest Detests Blacks It is a matter of common knowledge to those who have been around this man that he is full of expressions of contempt for blacks, saying that they are not his partner, and never wanted to have anything to do with another one; that he never had anything to do with black folks without getting stump—a fact somewhat borne out by his coping between, OF COURSE, AT ELECTION TIME HE IS A GREAT LOVER OF ALL THESE PEOPLE. Supported Democrat Against Martin B. Madden Although Madden made DePriest, and DePriest, whenever he wanted anything—even money to keep out of the office—he was in constant contact, yet in at least two of Madden's congressional campaigns DePriest was secretly supporting the Democrat, on one occasion he and a friend of his, visited the headquarters of the Democratic candidates for Congress, and DePriest pledged his support against him. THIS IS THE KIND OF REBELLIAN DEPRIEST HAS BEEN. Supported Sweitzer, Democrat, Against Thompson. When the Colored people of the Second ward were practically unmimious for Thompson for Mayor of Chicago, he used his business to Swetzer, and for the purpose of giving his business to Alderman on the Republican Court was at that time secretly dealing with the Swetzer people for the purpose of giving his business to Swetzer, and for the purpose of asking hundreds of his friends to vote for Swetzer, and a few nights before the election he went to one of the Democratic party in the Second ward to form a committee whereby he could get some Democratic votes in exchange for votes for elections, and he absolutely promised one of Swetzer's friends that he would do all he could for Swetzer under the cover. At that time, readers will remember. Swetzer was a friend of Thompson from what happened after the election to the son was told of DePriest's attitude, for after Thompson got in office DePriest, his own influence, could not land ever again, and he finally begged his way into farm with the administration, and got his share control of certain conditions that landed him in the Criminal Court. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ALL AROUND THE TOWN Kit and Comfort Club Sam Marshall Accosted Wednesday, Samuel Marshall of 2416 Wabash avenue, was arrested by the Third Precinct Station police, charged with the murder of May Woods (white), who was found in front of 2412 Prairie avenue at 10 o'clock Tuesday night.

First Place No Anchor For DePriest "The DePriest followers were considered the son of the past three weeks. Finally, on filing day, DePriest filed his petition first, and now DePriest's downstream followers that he is sure to be nominated because his petition was filed first. Of course, this contention proceeds on the campaign has been conducted, that is, that everybody is a fool, that nobody can read, and that people will go to the people and mark the first name with their hands. The most particularly amusing in view of the fact that there are only two men on the ballot, but the public may be assured that they are being beaten. The DePriest was last, Jackson would beat him. The noise always comes from the ballot, but is being beaten. The DePriest people are the same noisy people at every one of his meetings, but the quiet, decent, race-loveying people who are not yet guilty in the next few months made Alderman of their ward, have quietly made up their minds to let him wait seven or eight more months before seven or eight more juries. So they vote to make him Alderman.

Here is a chance for a ground floor investment. Oil land is sold on a basis of one thousand dollars per barrel production. Wells surrounding our territory started from one hundred to four hundred barrels per day. The Superior holdings not far from us have a settled production of over three hundred barrels per day, which places the value of their holdings at a half million dollars. A ten dollar investment in this company may be worth from a thousand to two thousand dollars in less than ninety days! It costs only from eight hundred to a thousand dollars to drill shallow wells.

HOME PHONE : Main 3963 Note the black dots, which represent the producing wells all around us. Count Them! Think of It! Can We Go Wrong? It Surely Looks Great—Doesn't It? Do you know that the Negroes of this country have a chance to earn millions by investing in Oil? Do you know that over five hundred million dollars worth of Oil was sold in Kansas and Oklahoma last year? Do you know that Oil is selling at $2.35 a barrel with the price going up? We are not begging you or anybody else to buy SQUARE DEAL STOCK. We are not forcing you or anybody else to buy SQUARE DEAL STOCK. We don't want you or anybody else to send us money—and then cry about it. If you are not capable of investing your money in what looks like—we may say a hundred to one shot—and awaiting the results like full grown men and women—then do not buy SQUARE DEAL OIL STOCK! We are too busy to fool with quitters. We are putting out this full page advertisement—AS THE LAST AND FINAL CALL—to let a few more live ones in—and to wind up our campaign for money enough to begin sinking oil wells all over our main tract of rich oil acreage. To us there is no such word as fail! We are going after Oil, and we are going to get it! Will you join us? You might as well! And, Say— Listen, men and women of my race, when the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company's holdings are worth five hundred thousand dollars to a million—then you will thank your lucky stars that you acted on our suggestions. Or would you rather read about the other fellow—no smarter than we—who buys oil stock at $1.00 per share and sells it for $100.00 per share? Others buy at $1.00 and sell at $250.00? And still others who buy at $1.00 and sell for $400.00? At one dollar per share the Square Dent Stock is, in our mind, the most ever offered, WRITE, WIRE or TELEHONE, your order now. There are plenty of books and wise guys, who never made a nickel in their lives, who will laugh and pooh pooh, when you talk Oil Stock. You listen to these ginis, and you'll never chance a winning proposition. Take a plunge on FORTUNES WHEELS OF OIL—with us today. You attend to your business and let the boobs and the neer-do-wells attend to them. The time to buy Sources Real Oil & Gas Stock is now. The time to buy Square Deal Oil & Gas Stock is now, before we get our first, second and third well—and there is no telling then what Square Deal Stock will be worth. You do not have to be a Gambler to Take a Chance on what looks like a sure game. This advertisement was prepared January 11th by an official of the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company. Facts told are exactly true to date. We reserve the right to return your remittance if orders subscribed. You will get in on this—if you hurry. Please note this—the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company is not a fifty million dollar corporation. Neither is it a million dollar corporation. Neither is it a half million dollar corporation. Neither is it a $250,000 corporation. Nor is it a White corporation. The Square Deal Oil & Gas Company is a Colored concern. It is the first Oil and Gas Company in this section of the country organized and incorporated under the blue sky laws of the State of Missouri, and controlled and managed exclusively by Negro men. Suppose, now, we strike it rich. Anybody who can add 2 and 2 can surely see that this company won't have to divide its profits between fifty million shareholders. It is easy for a small company's stock to be worth from fifty dollars to one hundred dollars for one, whereas a fifty million dollar company might be very rich and rarely ever pay a big dividend on that amount of stock.

Mollman Trial This Week --- By a Staff Correspondent St. Louis, Mca, Feb. 8. —The trial of Mayor Fred Mollman was scheduled for Wednesday of this week, while that of Sergt. Con. Mcehan was set for Tuesday. The charge against Mollman is that he assisted Attorney General C. W. Middelkau will have charge of the prosecution and Attorney D. J. Sullivan, corporation counsel, will represent the defense. There is bad blood between Mollman and Attorney D. J. Sullivan, little more justice in this case than some others which have come to trial. Sullivan recently unobscured himself of some of his opinion of Middelkau, and it was none too good. The charge Con. Mcehan is rioting and conspiracy. Mayor Molmman's trial will be watched with considerable interest because he of all other men may be accused of presiding over July 10 to preserve order and protect human life. How the city authorities in East Orange were an old story. While men and women being shot down in cold blood and white men were suffering at the hands of Colored men who feared for their safety, the police of white face, believing it hostile, Molmman and his Chief of Police, Payne, were doing practically nothing to bring the police of East St. Louis has not been attacked as often as the mayor, yet he was practically as much to blame. The police first up to him, and he could have acted without consulting anyone. No one can understand why he has been accused of much as he has. All other charges against Molmman have been dropped. REFUSAL TO BE "JIM CROWED" CAUSES IN- SULT TO PASSINGERS Homer West, living at the Hotel Brown, and Edward Pryor of 747 S. Second Avenue, grossly insulted because they refused to be "Jim Crowed" en route to Chicago on the "Big Four" railroad Sunday. Both men boarded the train at Indiana and being strangers, finding the coach was only partly filled, took seats some distance apart, Mr. Brown took some free ways from Indiana Conductor J. E. Miner (white) asked West to move a few seats back closer to Pryor as he had some "white" people he wanted to move in the seat in front of Pryor. When the train reached Iroquois a crowd of farmers got on. Miner came in West and ordered him in the seat in front of Pryor. Then he ordered Pryor to move into the seat with West and the latter refused, telling the conductor he had paid to move. Miner jerked Pryor arm, nearly tearing his coat. At Leaversville, ind. more words ensued. Miner made some nasty remarks about him — were in Kentucky you'd be shot. Pryor took the number of the train, which was train 16, and Miner, seeing him write something in the book, he wrote to him that he wrote the book out of his hand, wrote his man in it and handed it back to Pryor, telling him he was not afraid of being fired. Both men will take the matter up with the passenger department, and it is likely a suit will be brought against the railroad. WOMAN FOUND MURDERED Richmond, Va. Feb.

"Dr. Frissell was Christlike in his spirit and methods, and in his way of winning the great influence he wielded.

Here's That Opportunity You've Long Looked For! Your Fortune Is Made If You Will Read Every Word of This Ad. and Then Follow Your Own Mind SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1918. Here's Looked Read Ever ```markdown ``` A. B. J. J. ALLEN PRESIDENT I have proved my ability to the white man, now I am going to prove my ability to my own people. I have come from the big, sunny South, Tennessee, from a little farm near Clarksville, where I was born and reared. I came to Missouri about seven (7) years ago, and after spending about one (1) year selling books, toilet articles, etc., I decided to enter the insurance business I accepted a position with the Clover Leaf Insurance Company as agent and soon worked my way up to District Manager. I have made many thousand dollars for the Clover Leaf, and have made a record with the company for honesty and square dealing, as well as with the people with whom I have worked. And allow me to say that I am proud of that record. In this work I have received a practical education, which I believe has qualified me to build up a business that would make millions for my people as well as myself. After investigating the oil business I find it is the biggest and quickest paying business in the world. After searching through the oil fields of Kansas I have succeeded in securing one of the most valuable oil leases in that section I have resigned my position with the Clover Leaf to give my full time in building up the Mid-Vale, and I ask your co-operation that we may as soon as possible begin turning into cash and profit the unlimited amount of crude oil that is now lying unmolested under our present lease and also other that we have an option on which we hope to be able to secure. As I foresaid the oil business is the biggest paying business in the world if the business is managed by wideawake, hustling and honest business men, and let me say to you here that my people now have the greatest opportunity that they have ever had to make a real success of the oil business and that they probably will have again in the future. As an illustration, some of the most valuable oil property in Oklahoma today is owned by the Negroes and Indians and that the white people have gobbed them so much that they have learned to be afraid of the white man and won't sell to him, consequently the white man is now using the supposed smart negro as a "catspaw" to buy these leases for him for probably a few thousand dollars, when it proves to be worth millions of dollars. Now,why don't we put our money together and buy up these leases for ourselves and develop them or hold them and sell them at an enormous profit? I could give you a number of illustrations to prove to you that success is sure for the Mid-Vale, but I believe you are convinced of that fact already. I am frank to say to you that we need more money for development purposes as did the Harry St. Clair, the Standard Oil Company, the Bell Telephone Company, the United States Steel Corporation and most other corporations when they were first organized. But we are asking you to give us anything. We are asking you to invest with us and help share the large profits that are to be delivered you would stop and count up the money that you and I and our Race have given to charity, such as U. M. C. A. S. Hospitals, Churches and a number of other institutions, it would run far into the millions. This money we expect no immediate returns from and all of these institutions are worthy to be helped, but if our people would become interested in putting their money and brains together to develop business on a big scale, we would not have to wonder what our girls and boys are going to do when they come out of our high schools and colleges and we would really be able to donate to charity without feeling it. I could say many things along this line which I am sure would not add anything to your storehouse of knowledge, for you know the needs of the Race as well as I, but I do hope that I have said enough to impress you of our earnestness in this undertaking and that you will join hands with us financially and let us make the Mid-Vale one of the strongest corporations in the country. If you will buy at least one hundred shares of stock in our company we will. Buy as much of Mid-Vale as you possibly can. Whatever amount that you buy will make you money. Show us that we have your moral support, clip out the application blank and mall at once. Stop Howling For fifty years the Negro in this country has been howling "Race prejudice," "No opportunity," "Discrimination," "Closed doors," "Lynching and unfair treatment." At the same time he has built over a million dollars' worth of churches, a half million dollars' worth of Y. M. C. A.s, untold millions in promiscuous and possibly doubtful charities, a billion dollars for booze and a good time. Yet in these fifty years he has only one big, nation-wide business institution valued at a quarter million dollars and representing combined and organized capital. This fact is a tragic comment on the Negro's progress in half a century. But in fifty years he has steadily and manfully contributed to the success of hundreds and thousands of business propositions brought forward by his white brother. He has seen with his own eyes gigantic corporations grow up in a decade—Railroads, Telegraphs, Manufacturing Establishments, Newspapers, Dry Goods Houses, Shoe Stores, Banking Institutions, and what not. He has indeed in many instances been the mighty driving power which has made possible the success of the nation's greatest financial institutions.

You can buy it now for $1.00 per share, par value. All stock is fully paid and nonassessable. Many thousand people have made over $50,000.00 by investing less than $100.00 in oil companies when they were first organized, and here is your chance to do the same. Remember, we have one of the most valuable oil leases in the mid-continent fields, as is shown on the map. Read what the Mid-Continent Oil News says about our lease. This is one of the biggest oil journals in the country, published weekly by big oil men. I am sure that you will admit this is that wonderful opportunity have have long looked for.

Soldiers, Read! Gentlemen: You have been inspired by puttinomen to take up arms in defense of your country, and you have been ment, indeed, that promotes you to throw your life into the most colossal conflict the world has ever known. Words fail to ex- tinguish your courage. Your country for this act of courage. But while you go into foreign lands to protect your country, you leave sisters, brothers, and children in your protection. They need a steady income. They need a permanent and well-founded source of revenue. Heat, now, the words of your country are monthly. You send part home, or maybe you keep it all. In either case we have arranged our terms of stock purchase so that you can pay your balance in monthly payments. We put your money into OIL, the greatest word of the twentieth century, and it draws anywhere clared every year and shared by all allies. Your company marches away to France; you are gone one year, or eighteen months, and you are back to your company, our OIL business; you are on the solid rock. Your money is making twenty wells produce 2,000 barrels of oil a day, and when you are back to your company, you are physically NO. While you were at the front protecting your county, the Mid-Vale Oil Company was on the field protecting your financial interests, and seeing to it that you were assaulted or two to greet you when you return. Remember, a wise vestment at the proper time means a sace and lasting fortune. Don't forget that we take special paints with our fighting men. Apply at once. Half of our block of stock at par will soon be gone, and the price per share is bound to rise. We are fighting us, and we are fighting for every black boy enlisted in Uncle Sam's fighting machine.

Our great Mid-Vale Company is composed of honest, successful business men of integrity, anxious to go on record in the big world of finance. Our field is the best bet in the Mid-Continent. Only six dry holes out of 398 wells. Our acreage is now being laid out for twenty wells good for 2,000 barrels per day. Our title to the development of this property is on file at the county court house in Jackson county, Missouri. Our machinery for drilling is being assembled. Our consciences are clear. Our hearts are true and our money is behind the whole proposition and success awaits us and you the moment you invest. Remember, no officer receives a penny in salary before oil comes and business assumes larger proportions. Remember, there is here no discrimination—no juggling—no delay—no excuses—but results—Oil—Money. Remember what the Standard Life Insurance Company is doing for the Negroes in this country. We are determined to do as much. WRITE—INVEST. "They hold eighty acres in 10-26-18, joining the Prairie Oil and Gas Co.'s tank farm and right on the Sinclair pipe line.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER cess and power, to the willful and disgraceful neglect of his own, and yet he is a calamity howler and a job hunter, unable to organize his wonderful power and husband his resources. In fifty years the Negro in this country has done more, by his refusal to co-operate and organize his wealth, to shut and lock the door of opportunity in his own face than all external forces combined. The time is come for real men to quit whining and get down to business. The great watchword of American civilization is Organization. It is a mystic word which, when properly pronounced, opens wido the door to untold wealth and power. Where is the big money today? In Oil! Where is the Oil? In the bosom of Mother Earth awaiting the industry of man to call it forth. Does Oil say to me and to you, "You are a black man; I will not come forth at your bidding"? No, indeed! No Oil knows no color nor race. She runs alike for black and white, for rich and poor. She is Nature's great benefactor, ready to respond to the intelligent, industrious, active, aggressive touch of the hand of all mankind; and, furthermore, our good government will buy every drop of the valuable liquid drawn through the pipes.

Many companies being financed today are overcapitalized. A million dollars capital stock would be considered conservative for many companies had they a property like ours. Our capital stock is only $30,000, which is a very small percentage of the valuation of our property. We have already been offered many time more for our lease than what we paid for it, but the only thing we are going to sell is Oil and more Oil, at $2.00 per barrel. We are going to prove to you that we are real business men and that we can build up a company equal to the Standard Oil Company, which paid dividends of $100,000,000 in 1917. $9,408,329 was earned by the Harry Sinclair Oil Company in eleven months. $100 invested in the Coline Oil Company made $83,000 in eighteen months. The 1914 Oil Company made each $100 investor independently rich in a few months. We are going to do the same. Are You Going To Work For Wages All Your Life?

Accusations are made that find no expression from our pen, though resting heavily upon our heart. What the Evening Post reads into the record we knew belonged in the record and would in due time get into the record. This is an accurate barometer of the attitude of the Race upon the vulgarity of the vulgar South, as expressed by the Evening Post: Now, curiously enough, since the overburdening of railroads during the last six months the Jim Crow car system has begun to collapse. That is, white people have refused to stand in white coaches when seats were available in the Negro coach, and vice versa. This week a Colored man came all the way from Columbia, S. C., without once being Jim Crowed; he said that, apparently, all efforts to segregate had stopped. These facts can be verified on any of the Southern lines running out of Washington. But these accident happenings do not satisfy the Colored people; they are stirred up because under present conditions Jim Crowing is now under the aegis of the United States Government. It has been bad enough to endure discrimination under State laws, but when it comes to the United States Government's furthering this policy under the Stars and Stripes, the Colored people like it still less, particularly when the nation makes no color discrimination in calling upon them to give their lives, if necessary, abroad. "When it comes to the United S with the villainous South in its crim appeal, UNTIL IT IS HEARD, to the a The question has been asked.

Since there is no law again, getting a great editor, we give his answer as contained in the Evening P "When it comes to the United States Government" making open cause with the villainous South in its crimes and shames, the Race proposes to appeal, UNTIL IT IS HEARD, to the decent people in the free states. The question has been asked, Who fathered segregation at Washington? The editor of the Evening Post is a personal friend of the President, supported him for the nomination and for election; and when the President was safely in the White House he got on the train and moved to Washington. He ought to know what he is talking about. Since there is no law against quoting a great editor, we give his answer as contained in the Evening Post: It was the fact that it was the President of the United States who instituted segregation in the departments in Washington that hurt the Colored people as much as the segregation itself. Thousands of them had settled in the District of Columbia, believing that they would be safest from discrimination there; and they were, until Mr. Wilson came there, together with Mr. McAdoo. And now for the Director General of the Railroads. How does he feel about the matter, and what will he do? Is there any balm in Gilead? The Evening Post makes the charge, and the Defender begs leave to read it into the record. We take this picture of Mr. McAdoo from the Evening Post; And now for the Director General of the Railroads. How does he put the matter, and what will he do? Is there any balm in Gilead? Nening Post makes the charge, and the Defender begs leave to read it record. We take this picture of Mr. McAdoo from the Evening Post; And now for the Director General of the Railroads. How does he feel about the matter, and what will he do? Is there any balm in Gilead? The Evening Post makes the charge, and the Defender begs leave to read it into the record. We take this picture of Mr. McAdoo from the Evening Post: Mr. McAdoo may be relied upon to fight any effort to do away with the Jim Crow car. It was he who started the discriminations in the departments at Washington, and he is proud of it. It will not affect him that on these trains the United States will be discriminating between its Colored and white soldiers, and that some of its eight hundred Colored officers may publicly be Jim Crowed as if they did not wear an officer's uniform. It is therefore not likely that any change will take place if the Government control of the lines is limited to the period of the war. Should, however, Government ownership become permanent, the Colored people may be relied upon, after peace is declared, to keep the country in a turmoil on this question until it is settled alright. We look for no change; not under ill come, and that turmoil may be lie buried with Jeff Davis, Slavery and It is the duty of the Race to give democratic party what is left of the s We look for no change; not under the Democratic party.

The enemy did everything, or were the southern white men until human nature and they took the law into their own "There is a question here that can be answered that if white men preached the white and the Black soldier wear the respect of the people they have forth to risk their lives." WAS THERE EVER SUCH A GOD in the belief that she had a fow of age of 17 that her ancestry is wher ties with "friend husband" and old the loss for our side is negligible, the only thing that counts. FORGET that a letter to the happenings in their own home to make them light all the harder for it FROM THE BEAVER FALLS TRIBUNE: "Thirteen Colored men have been hanged for complicity in the Houston riots. They were members of the United States army. They violated military rules, and they paid the penalty, and killed all of the Colored men. Did they do what they did simply out of deprivity, or were they harassed and annoyed by Calvurbans' southern white men until human nature, weak at best, broke under the strain and they took the law into their own hands? "There is a question here that can be answered only by strict legal inquiry into what happened that she had a few drops of oil on her skin, and the age of 17 that her ancestry is wholly Caucasian. She immediately saved her ties with 'friend husband' and other past associates, and jumps the fence. The loss for our side is negligible, the gain to the other side ditto. Character is the only thing that counts. DON'T FORGET that a letter to the boys in camp telling them all about the happenings in their own home town is a good stimulant for them and will make them fight all the harder for the dear ones at home." ARTICLES OF FAITH AT ONE TIME in religious history it was necessary for those of certain believe to draw articles of faith; that is, they were required to define just what their purpose was. They asked questions of the day. These articles were supposed to embody the highest goals toward which their defenders were striving. While it was impossible for the body politic to assemble in one great conclave to draw up these articles, they sent—as we do today—a limited number to represent them; the difference being, the representatives in olden times lacked the chicanery, the technical knowledge, the vitality. It was their delight to saorifice, if necessary, their life's blood for them. They represented. They were the servants of the people, not their masters. Today in the Second ward in Chicago a bitter aldermania war is waging. Voters are deluged with literature extolling the virtues of the different candidates, they are invited to love-feast meetings, they are cailed and threatened until they are utterly disgusted with the whole matter. With the exception of heroes of the candidates, the Chicago Defender takes this opportunity—heroes of faith. It voices the sentiments of the vast majority—to present the articles of faith that must be adored to by the candidate who expects the support of intelligent voters; AT ONE TIME in religious history it was necessary for those of certain beliefs to draw up articles of faith; that is, they were required to define just what their position was on mooted questions of the day. These beliefs required that they be the highest ideals and to represent the goal toward which their defenders were striving. When it wilt be impossible for the body politic to assemble in one great conclave to draw up articles, they sent—as we do today—a limited number to represent them; the difference being, the representatives in olden times lacked the chicane, the representatives of our modern politicians. It was their delight to sacrifice, if necessary, to represent them. They represented. They were the servants of the people, not their masters. Today in the Second ward in Chicago a bitter aldermania war is waging. Voters are deluged with literature extolling the virtues of the different candidates, they are invited to love-feast meetings, they are cajoled threatened until they are utterly disgusted with the whole matter. With this opportunity—with the articles of the candidates, the Chicago Defender takes this opportunity—believing that the sentiments of the vast majority—to present the articles of faith that must be adored to by the candidate who expects the support of intelligent voters: HE MUST TRULY REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. He must not be a Judas Iscariot. He must be no time or place he above his constituency. He must not stand idly and see the rights of the Race trespassed upon through prejudice in the administration of the civil service law. He must not condone segregation of inmates of public institutions. He must be a watchdog, zealously guarding against legislation imminent to his people. He must be a captain of industry, alert to every opportunity for advancement of those represented. He must be above selling his political bishops for a fee. He must be above selling his political birthright for a mess of pottage. He must in every sense of the word be a MAN. With such a representative and the influence he would wield, it would be possible for us to have a Municipal Court Judge, a member of the Drainage Board, a County Commissioner, a County and a State Central General Assembly, a member of the Ward Board of Equalization of Taxation, a member of the School Board, a State Central Republican Convention, and then it is not possible to have representation in the halls of Congress at Washington? The eyes of our own little world are upon the Second Ward, not merely the ones of the numerical strength to demand a hearing, but because the residents of this Ward have high ideal character to fight for their rights. The time is ripe for us to bring forth a man like Leo Thermophyma who, when confronted by almost overwhelming opposition, said he would stand ye like fat oxen waiting for the butcher's knife? Up, up, if you want. The Chicago Defender feels sure that voters in the Second Ward will insist upon the candidate they support pledging himself to adhere to these articles of faith. With such a representative and the influence he would wield, it would be possible for us to have a Municipal Court Judge, a member of the Drawing for any rights. The县 is kind to the Committeeman, a member of the School Board, a State Senator, a full delegate to the National Republican Convention, and then it is not possible to have representation in the halls of Congress or Washington? The eyes of our own little world are the Second ward, not merely because it possesses the numerical strength to demand a hearing but because the residents of this ward have high ideals, they know what might be theirs and have the courage, strength and character to fight. We can bring forth a man like Leonidas of Thermopylae who, when confronted with opposition, said to his sturdy supporters, "Why stand ye here like fat ox eating for the butcher's knife? Up, up, if ye be men, and follow me?" The Chicago Defender feels sure that voters in the Second Ward will insist upon the candidate they support pledging himself to adhere to these articles of faith. Losing Our Identity THERE WAS A TIME when those who could fit it the proper thing to cover their connections with the Race and take up the white man's burden. The piece in view was not social equality, the trump card of ignorant whites, but purely a side side had everything worth while, and were narrow and sellish enough to keep it out. What we received was only what they wished to give us, the system of assent adopted, with the result that thousands occupy positions where prejudice is in the where, if their identity was known, they could not linger long enough to get the效应. Eclecticity doesn't count when prejudice is in the saddle, as has been proven uniquely. A striking case was that of a young woman who was the chief stenographer in a large Chicago store. As murder will out, it was could be discovered she had a drop or two of forbidden blood in her veins and was called before the manager and questioned. She frankly admitted it was true, before the manager confessed she was the most valuable employee he had, she said she would be the help might object to working with her. Just what part of a real man this manager was need not here be mentioned. But he is simply one of a type found in every part of this "democratic" country. Fatal statistics have figured that approximately 70 per cent of the so-called population of the United States and those who came from that section, have more or less African blood in them. The records of their ancestors, found on the books in the churches and bureaus of the light, would close the mouths of many who now boast of their pure Amphioxon lineage. Far be it from us to boast of having mixed blood. It is one of the things for which we are not responsible, but one of the evils our former owners are account for. Every real man or woman dislikes masquerading, and many of the "pussies" are coming out from under cover and standing on their own feet. The time is fast coming when black will be as popular a color for the skin as it is for the garments that cover the skin. The late Booker T. Washington's slogan is, "Let your buckets down where you are!"—in other words, "Let your buckets down whining and hemming your fate. Life, after all, is only what we must do." We are proud of what you are, not sorry. It is said, and truly, history remains itself. The dark races once ruled. Why not again? Some drift away from their blood ties for financial reasons mainly, but there is ever present that longing to get lock into the fold. We are accused of seeking white social equality. If you are not black, you are accused of planning real feelings, they wouldn't awake nights and occupations, place." At present the whole world seems toy-turvy, but when order is again restored many voices in this and other lands, that have long been silent, will speak, and the world will listen. An effort has been made to keep us a separate and distinct people. Let us say "Amen" to that etict and stay silent, and the world will not listen. We must have no disadvantages, as the thoughtful are beginning to see. We must hold fast to per cent American slogan, defend the flag in a manner that will make the other fellow look like a "piker," and ever speak with pride of our race identity. Keeping Your Own Counsel WHAT IS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS is nobody's business, and the only reward one for airing his personal views is trouble, and often lots of it. There are three kinds of offenders—those who tell their own business, those who tell their employer's business and those who tell what they heard or harmful, but there can be acquaintance relations differ as to which is the most important, but there can be acquaintance relations of no importance in any form being harmful. A cloak of charity might be thrown around the ignorant, because of their ignorance, but they are not the only offenders. The ugly habit is as much a part of the intelligent as of the unintelligent. You tell your employer that you are not the only person in private, many seem to think it necessary, when on the street car or in other public places, to talk loud enough so all may hear, and of such things as should be a blush of shame to the face of any refined person. Some consider it a smart trick to be the center of attention, and monkey-like, add a bit of humor to the conversation. The employer's business that is being discussed, it might so happen a listener would take the tail back to headquarters, with the result that the gossiper would have to seek a new job. If concerning a friend or acquaintance, the penalty is a fine. There is nothing more despicable than a malicious gossip, nothing that displays ignorance more than the rantings of a loud-mouthed person. One's personal business solldemn interests anybody else, so why blit it up upon every occasion? One of the reasons we are no further advanced today is that we know what is going on in our business, and we know anything about the Japanese or the Chinese? Do they ever discuss their private business openly? Doesn't the world fear Japan because it does not know what her next move will be? Had we emulated the Japanese would not our position in this country be far different? Is it not about time we stop playing the minstrel and keep our own counsel? THE WAY TO SUCCESS ONE OF THE PENALTIES that follow success is the constant query of the unsuccessful: "How did you do it?" The answers are as widely divergent as answers possibly could be, and yet they all blink on hard work and perseverance, two essentials that many of the so-called failures have at their command. Perhaps a certain element of luck enters into it, but luck, Max O'Rell says, means rising at the top of your business, turning on your business, and owning your own business, not结婚 with other people. Luck means appointments you have never failed to keep. The trains you have never failed to catch. Luck means trusting in God and your own resources. No man can give a recipe for success. He may be conceived enough to be competent judge of his own sobriety, so let us add, no man can be a judge to how he accomplished his success. Save money, is a good slogan, but you must get the money before you can save it. The world owes every man a debt, and every man owes every man a debt, or perhaps an existence. The kind of harvest that is reaped depends largely on the quality and quantity of the seed that is sown. It is of no avail to beorem our fate because we have not the amount of worldly goods our neighbor has. He might have been the dullest student in the world, but he has been the most successful side in the same line, at the bottom of the ladder, and, as the story book says, "ten years later" he is the president of the concern, and you a faithful, plodding clerk. The way of the thing is still an unsolved question. True success isn't measured by the heights attained—a robber and a thief might become the same person, and the wiser thing can be that he level best every working hour of the day and every day in the year is bound to be a success, even though money-mad people fail to acknowledge it. It is said that every successful man is cogitical, some being merely more adept in concealing it than others, and conceive it a disease never cured except by a good doctor, and the wiser thing can be that he is level best his almighty and take a dose of good criticism now and then, to keep it in check.

Moton Dr. Robert Russa Moton was born in 1867 in Amelia County, Virginia, and spent his early years in Prince Edward County, Virginia, in 1885. In 1887 Moton entered Hampton Institute and was assigned to work in the sawmill, where he labored under the direction of an ex-Confederate officer who was as successful as Moton. In 1880 Moton R. Moton was graduated from Hampton and soon entered the service of the Hampton school, where for many years he remained a military officer and as a worker for the extension of the Hampton idea of service. The late Dr. Hollis B. Prissell expressed great pride in having been a teacher of two such excellent public servants and Race leaders as Boofer T. Washington and Robert Russa Moton. Moton has served for a number of years as president and honorary president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, which aims to help the Colored people secure better health, better schools, better farms. He is also an officer of Negro Rural School Fund Board. Anna T. Jeanes Foundation, trustee of a number of schools, and an officer of organizations that promote Race progress. Dr. Molton was recently made a member of the executive committee of the State War Savings Campaign. Dr. Molton has helped thousands of Negroes to live in peace with their white neighbors. He has won for his work the moral and financial support of the white people throughout the country.

Darling, Hampton, Va.; and James B. Trowbridge, New York. Mr. Gregg was presented to the Hampton school by Dr. George P. Phenix, Hampton's vice principal. Mr. Gregg spoke simply and briefly. He said, "I am looking forward with the greatest interest to the time when I will be your principal. I think and pray that we may be happy together in our work for the Colored Race, for our country, and the kingdom of God. I feel that CHICAGO FEB. 9, 1918 PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles "Policeman's Heel," "The Painful Heel," of the plantar surface and the curve "The Painful Spot" of the plantar surface and the correction and prevention of the oncoming jat foot. The correction of these defects rest ought to rely faithfully good results. Many people, including policemen waiters, some motor car conductors, barbers, clerks, etc, are troubled very If the second theory be true that this is due to some venereal infection, then the proper procedure should be to administer the little germ (Spirochoca bilidae) which cause the painful spot in the heel. To toid the gonococci the microscope must be called into service. To determine whether a pus pileid or to determine cause of the painful spot, a Wassermann test should be made. Upon the determination by your physician by the means of the microscopical and histological examination the treatment to be followed, should apparently be easy. And, we are of the opinion that when one is troubled with a painful spot in the heel, the wiser services of a good physician and have a careful examination made and follow the treatment as outlined by the physician, to the letter. Do not be afraid to wear shoes, apply different home remedies and all the remedies your ignorant neighbors advise you to use, but instead, go to a good physician and have a examination made and you will then be able to proceed along intelligent lines. induce with what is known as "Painful Heel" or "Painful Spot" in the heel. Some claim that this pain is due to rheumatism and have resorted to the application of rheumatic cures including the application of various limb imprints such as the Ankle, Musterle, Young Palm, etc., without any permanent mark. The individual should his condition. is known as "Painful Heel" or "Painful Spot" in the heel. Some claim that this pain is due to rheumatism and have resorted to the use of all sorts of therapeutic cures including the application of various liniments such as Stuames Liniment, Histerole, Vache Palmette, Palmette out any permanent relief. The individual describes condition as having been in the bottom of his heel and it is called "Pointeful Heel", because the policemen as a rule of necessity are required to be on their a great deal. The "Painful Heel" is said to have made worse by the use of the foot and is often entirely absent during the period of rest or during the period of elevation of the foot, but by manipulation of the heel one is always able to find the "painful spot." If the trouble is due to gonorrheal infection, which is very common, you need anti-gonorrheal treatment—the only treatment of the parts is absolutely necessary. Appearance of the Foot If it is due to syphilis, anti-syphilis treatment is called into service—injection and examination and the 606. It may be necessary for the surgeon to operate on your heel and remove some of the exostoses that may be causing the painful spot in the heel. You may be asked to undergo or injury to the periosteum, which in turn, may cause a shorter heel cord; however, your surgeon will fully adhere us to the best line of procedure. The general appearance of the foot is that of a normal foot as a rule. There may be a deformity—and there may not be; to the casual observer the foot seems to be normal. When standing or walking, the inner border or inner side of the foot, which indicates the orientation of the foot. And upon standing there is evidence of a weakness in this foot. The Painful Foot or Policeman's Heel—that painful foot or policeman's heel—can cause a careful examination for evidence of the incoming of the flat foot. These operations in the hands of some experienced surgeon have resulted in a speedy recovery and most satisfactory results. Finally when you have a wound, the "policeman's heal" or a "painful spot" proceed along the following lines: Cause or Causes of "Painful Spot" The real cause or causes of the "Painful Spot" are definitely known. There are many theories, and painful spots may be single, there may be two or there may be more. One theory is that the "Policeman's Heel" or the heel of due to traumatism of the covering of the perforation of the perforation, injury to the covering of the bone of the heel). This injury may be manifested by a pulling, a tearing of the perforation covering of the perforation, painful tissues (sole tissues of the foot). Consult the best available physician as to the cause of painful heel, or painless, hardened words, have made and the treatment to be followed will depend largely upon the correct diagnosis. The consensus of opinion by the best authorities that the "policeman's heel" painful heel is the painful spot" painful either to traumatism, gonorrheal or syphilis infection. If due to traumatism, the surgeon may be consulted and his advice followed. Another theory is that the "Painful Spot" is often due to veneer infec- tion of the mucosal mucococcal and their way into the burrow. The periosteum covering the heel loop. If due to gonorrhea, an examination for that cause made and vaccine treatment followed; and, if due to leucotic infection (syphilis), then, a Wasserman test should be made and treatment followed included in guidelines 606. In these two theories he correct, then the treatment is readily followed along two lines: (1) the causation of the painful spot cells of the stranded and torn tissues of the stranded and torn tissues If you follow the advice given here, you will get rid of the harmful spirit in your eyes. THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT WHAT A DIFFERENCE it makes as to whose foot a tight shoe is on. The person wearing it may be able to paint a vivid picture of how uncomfortable it is, and ten chances to one if we do not laugh outright at his suffering we will accord sympathy. But it's different, oh, so different, when we become the interested person. Many curious and interesting facts came out during the trial of the East St. Louis rotators. All sorts of real and imaginary causes were advanced as to the reason for the disturbances. Strange to say, the pubia press gave the whites and the Blacks an even break. The courts held no mock trials such as find place in portions of the south, but the case of every man was tried open and above board. That we, as individuals, believe certain sentenced men should have been shown more lenency is no great reflection on the court. But the cause of the East St. Louis outbreak is given as many interpretations as the query, "Why does a chicken cross the street?" The theories advanced depend entirely upon the viewpoint. It is safe to say, however, that rotten politics came in for the lion's share of the blame, with labor troubles a close second. It is of the labor troubles we would speak, and speak feelingly, for, according to the testimony of Alos Towers, a labor organizer, his fellow workers be discriminated against and shut out of the shop and mills, preference being such as Colored employees. List to his testimony: "Oppression of the laborers by the big plants here has been particularly cruel since 1913. Hundreds of men stood at the gates of these big plants every morning, many of them ragged and hungry, and begged for jobs. White men told me, in tears, of being turned out and the preference being given to Negroes. Many white workers..." A BIT OF STORY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING concerning Harriet Beecher Stowe is of interest to most people. Her name is indelibly written on the pages of American history, and written in such a way as to inspire only the loftiest months of this remarkable woman. As far back as 1830 she received into her family a collection of courtly wives, by the laws of Ohio, was free, having been brought into the court by her mistress. But, in spite of this, Prof. Stowe received word, after she had met with them some months, that the girl's master was in the city looking for her, that if she were not careful she would be seized and conveyed back into slaves. ```markdown ``` Finding that this could be accomplished by boldness, perjury and the con- sequence, some unscrupulous justice. Prof. Stowe and his brother-in-law, Hen- rence Stowe, some unscrupulous justice. Prof. Stowe in a covered wagon at night (twelve miles back into the country and with a friend, it is from this incident of real life and personal experience that he con- ceived the thrilling episode of the fugitive's escape in "Juncle Tom's Cabin." Mrs. Stowe only emphasized the fact that where there's a will there's a way. Mrs. Stowe, as sons of our modern Mrs. Stowe or Mr. Beechers do, and said, "The right or wrong of the question enrains not let it come." To the manager of a large Chicago factory a delegation of workmen came to protest against a certain employee. The manager listened attentively to their complaint, who signaled for them to underline their card, and missed them with the remark that he would gladly give them a card, pay them off, as his intention was to keep the man in question. It is necessary to say they all returned to work. That is the answer to this so-called problem. In their respective communities have enough backbone to hold for the right. Driving with the tide—though at the time the easiest way—was not not Harriet Beecher Stowe's way of things. She rowed up stream, encountered swift currents that almost swamped her abolition craft, and yet, with faith unshaken, she renewed her efforts and entered the port of Jackson with three living. What Mrs. Stowe has done others can must do are Americans can host of having a true democracy. SECRETARY BAKER appointed Emmet J. Scott as a special assistant to represent our interests during the war, an appointment that meets with the hearty approval of most people. Mr. Scott has proven himself worthy of the job within the gift of people, and Secretary Baker is to be congratulated on securing the services of such an able man. AN ARKANSAS PARMER just purchased 450 acres of land, paying the tiny sum of $25,000 for it. And they say, "The poor farmer." SQ MANY seem surprised at our loyalty that it has set us thinking a bit and wondering what they would do under like conditions. THOSE SWEATERS doubtless come in right handy to the boys in the cantonments, to say nothing of the boys in the trenches. What could we do without the women, anyway, bless 'em! IN THE MEANTIME, don't forget that there are many who are worse off than you.
