He paused for a few minutes later Mrs. Annie Clay, her keeper, staggered to the door, her clothing bathed in blood, and gasped: "My God! I'm cut to pieces." Miss Bessie Mayes, a roomer, found her in a swoon on the front porch help her to Eichler's drug store, 35th Avenue, a block away, where she lay medical attention for fully twenty where a Defender reporter found her, meanwhile the patrol squad of the 25th and Cottage Grove avenue station, responding to a telephone call for help from one of the reporters, arrived at the house, where they found a room, a roomer, with a knife cut through it, another roomer, in other roomers, terror stricken locked in bedrooms. Our reporter then sent the patrol wagon to the drug store and both victims were taken to the Provident hospital, where their wounds were dressed by Dr. Macheth, intense, and Miss Weatherall, night supervisor, Mrs. Mayes' condition was such to detain her to the hospital for ten day.

Friday evening at about 7:30 he returned, under the influence of liquor, according to the testimony obtained from roomers by the house's landlord, which Mrs. Clay refused, because the house was crowded at that time. The evening passed without event until about 8 o'clock, when one of the roomers saw Thompson put Mrs. Clay's gun, which was lying on the mastle, he reached in and held Thompson's condition and asked him to refuge in his room, leaving Mrs. Clay alone on the first floor, entreating Thompson to return the revolver, Dewey, the janitor, came upstairs from the basement and soon he and Thompson were engaged in a heated argument in it, although alleged.

In the lull that ensued the telephone bell rang and as Mrs. Clay proceeded to the front hall, Thompson followed, and as she was about to answer he bolted out and accessed the face, shoulder and back. Mrs. Clay's screams attracted Hall and Miss Hayes, who rushed into the second floor hall, Hall going downstairs to investigate the trouble. Just as he reached the lower hall Thompson rushed by and then stopped, saying: "You got to do with it?" Linging, he attempted to stab Hall over the heart, which blow was warded off and Hall received but a slight wound in the thigh. Another blow followed and Hall withdrew to his room with his jaw bent, which Thompson made a motion as if to again attack Mrs. Clay, who had retreated into the dining room, but turned and fled through the front door. Late Saturday night detectives of the Cottage Grove avenue station arrested Thompson and he is held there charged with assault and battery with intent to kill.

THE RACE WAS KNIFED BY A TRAITOR; A BLACK MAN FROM MISSISSIPPI. For the first time the leaders of the race scorned a scorpion; spat upon him and turned him over to the massacre; dribbled his bled.

A storm of appear came from every corner of the city when the speaker paused at the end of the presentation. "From the beginning of America the Race has had an honorable place in her animals. We fought in every conflict from Bunker Hill down through San Juan hill, and the Mexican engagements—and we will help to help the Germans and the Negro man of France and carry it into Berlin." He continued: "God will change the map of the world, and he has seen fit that the Negro shall have a hand in helping 15 bring freedom to the millions who are making the fight. Let me add that the Negro man was a man long before America ever made him a citizen."

J. churches is the question that has brought to this city all the bishops of the various connections, and the same question is engaging attention of Methodists all over the country. The "Falls City" one of the most prominent churches has opened its doors to the "bethlehem cloth" to discuss the question from every angle with a view of unification. Prior to the discussion of the main question, each connection will hold a conference, then the three will meet and come to some understanding. A similar meeting was bid by the M. A. E. A. M. E. Zion in which their commissioners commended that the two churches unite at their next general conference two years hence. Better Service by Union United Methodism could render better service to the Race's, the opinion of most of the leading men of all the connections. The achievements of the three connections tell a story of what they could become by the union, women, blacks, whites, Hispanics and greater co-operation and more real work placed in the hands of their own people. Their various, institutions have proven their ability of self-government and management. We questions seem to be raised about what will be done with the older bishops of the three denominations, and what will become of the aspirants for bishopic honors. Saidone of the leaders to a Defender representative: "If we want to be a better union of the union and the formation of bishops, the day will not be far distant when there will be a great union of the three churches."

ABBOTT: CONVE Her Hus --- Bullet in Brain When Attem A broken window and two blood-stained pillow casings brought the confession of Oscar Thomas and Mrs. Viola Culpepper, co-partners in a conspiracy and love plot, which climaxed Tuesday morning when Thomas shot and killed the sleeping Edward Culpepper in his flat at 3017 Vernon Ave., while his wife looked on with an 11-month-old babe in her arms, who cooed and jabbed a protest to the leisure crime being committed. A crime, a new chapter in criminology, and the worse in the annals of this city. About 5 o'clock residents in the vicinity of the crime were aroused by a muffled shot, followed by a long-drawnout groan, and then all was still. Shortly Thomas was seen emerging from the front door and then returning. A mysterious telephone message was received at the 20th St. and Cottage Grove Ave. station, and Officers Fitzgerald (white), Scott, and Middleton responding, found a supposed well held plot and conspiracy fostered by Thomas, who enjoyed frequent intimacies with Culpepper's wife, shielded behind the scented shades of the "star boarder." All evidence had been apparently disposed of, except a broken window and two innocent blood-stained plowing vehicles. Mrs. Culpepper greeted the officers, sobbing hysterically, in an attempt to shield Thomas, who was caught just as he was about to make his escape HORACE SLATTER IN A FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE Erroneously Reported Dead, Newspaper Man Keep Up Spirit and Hope THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM Chattanooga, Teen.

He had died with a chance, Thomas and Mrs. Culpepper when inspected by Culpepper had met his fate by the efforts of an enemy. They then exhibited the broken window, which, they stated, had been caused by the same missile that ended Culpepper's existence. How It Occurred. A hurried investigation brought to light the fact that the window had been damaged by a larger object than an ordinary bullet. The window was no explanation as to how there came to be blood stains on the pillow casings. In the position in which Thomas first stated to the police Culpepper's body was found, such a shot impossible, for Culpepper had been lying in the window from the window when shot, which pillow thoroughly soaked with blood, and the blood stain, a mere spot about the size of a coin on the pillow nearest the window, showed that Culpepper had dragged to the other side of the bed because he had seen what he had been shot from the outside. This was an inside job, detective theory concluded. Then followed the heated grilling of Mrs. Culpepper and Thomas, who immigrated because insolent and refused to talk to commuters in the and the crude defense crumpled before the strategy. Thomas was the first to confess, giving a gruesome recital of how he had killed Culpepper and ended in taking Lieutenant Fitzgerald to court, under the back porch stairs where he had hid the revolver inashes. Thomas' confession told of the intimacy he held for the wife of Culpepper during his recent absence on a two months' visit in New Orleans, during which he had felt the pangs of hutred in the thought of Culpepper's existence. First Attempt The first attempt at taking the life of Culpepper was made Monday morning, when Thomas, according to the statement made to the police by Mrs. Culpepper, put carbolic acid in her hair of the coffee, which she kept him from drinking, morning of the crime Thomas came to see in the room, the police say, aroused Mrs. Culpepper the baby, and while she sat on a trunk a few feet away, Thomas bent over the bed and shot. Culpepper through his sample. To make the job look as if it had been taken outside, the window was broken. After committing the deed, Thomas in a leged to have hid the gun under the back porch. Mrs. Culpepper and Thomas are now living at 60th St. and Cottage Grove Ave., station 11, they are being held charged with murder. Culpepper's body was removed to Johnson Morgue, 331 State St. Mrs. Ella Weston, 20 E. Thirty-third street, was the victim of a black lmousine driven by a black auto-ist, who struck and instantly killed her. Tuesday night, while she was temping the street corner of Thirty-third and State streets. The accident occurred at about 9:30 o'clock, and scores of patrons of the Gothic hotel witnessed the mishap. Witnesses said the car sped along at a 40-mile-an-hour pace, with lights out and no horn, which made it possible for Mrs. Weston ignorance of her fate. After striking the woman the auto made no stop, leaving its victim, tossed from its path, in the mine. Mrs. Weston, at whose home Weston and his rooming, saw the accident just as she noed from a north-bound State street car, but failed to recognize Mrs. Weston, but discerned the gay trimming of her coat lining, and on arriving home told his wife of the affair and of the lining. Mrs. Houston remembered and lingered on, who was a sleep. Weston rushed to the house just in time to see the lion form in his wife being borne to Johnson's morgue, 2311 State street, where an inquest was held Tuesday morning. Weston and his wife are former natives of New Orleans and had just been in the city about a month.

LOUIS MAYOR FREED OF RIOT CHARGES Assault Cases Dismissed; Police Reinstated WHERE IS JUSTICE? By J. M. BATCHMAN, Staff Correspondent St. Louis, Mo, Feb. 15—The greatest travesty in justice in connection with the East St. Louis riots was perpared last week, when the last charge against Mayor Mollman was dismissed and he was allowed to emerge from the disgraceful episode without paying his debt to the public for failing to comply with the above request was considered a foregone conclusion by those not advised in legal matters, that Mollman would have to answer in proportion to his standing in the court, in the proceedings of his high office, and failure to measure up to what was believed to be his capacity. That such not the result is not surprising in manner which have taken place elsewhere. When it does not belong to us, Three Fined $50 for Rioting The police officers, "Con" Meechan and Cornelius Hickey, together with Albert Lee Wilson, all white and residents of East St. Louis, entered pleas of guilty of rioting in the Circuit Court at Belleville last week and were tined and costs each by Judge Bernstein white, while the charges of con-face and assault to murder pending against them were dismissed. The wholesale dismissing procedure was kept up in the cases of Henry Combs and John Haley, white, charged with conspiracy and rioting, while the case of murder against James O'Brien, also white, was nole pressed. At this time the only remaining case in connection with the riot which has not been presented, is that of John Love and Horvath King, charging murder. It was confirmed from last Monday. Dr. King is a Race man and has suffered much mental agony as a result of his experience. Police Get Jobs Back After the riots it was thought a reform wave had sweet over the east side. It was believed it had reached its height when the election on the commission form of government was held and the voters went on record for a. House cleaning. That all things are not what they seem is conclusively shown by the fact that four of the men on the police force who had been inflicted in connection with the riots in July and released last Tuesday with their cases were rolled were re-flicted by the board of fire and police commissioners. The men are Sergeant John Healy and Patrolman Floyd Coambs, Henry Grimes and James O'Brien. There are three other police officers who were indicted at the same time as these men. The board continued the requests of Sergeant "Con" Meehan and Patrolman Albert Wilson who pleaded guilty and were in bed 356 until a legal opinion can be had as to whether or not they can be legally reinstated. Regardless of the law in the matter, it would be con- You Can Make $30 oo A Week. Olive Oil Pomeade is an olive oil cake and napole preparation, better than all others in producing beautiful fats.

Mishell C FARMERS MEETING THE WAR-TIME DEMANDS Hampton, Va., Feb. 18—John B. Pierce, a Tuskegee-Hampton graduate, who is the district agent of the farm demonstration work in Virginia and is responsible for the work of 22 county agents, is a leader who has won his respect and authority through untruth, unselfish, and intelligent service. Training the Leaders The Hampton conference brought together several hundred representative Race farmers, as well as the industrial supervising teachers and farm administration agents who are helping Georgia to secure greater returns from their land; to improve their schools, homes, and churches; and to become more involved in the conference considered in detail what Colored people have been doing and what they can do to help win the world war for democracy. From the discussions it was made clear that the people of Virginia are for the most part using wisely the extra money return which they have received during the past season from their abundant crops. Irritating and damaging off their old debts and are improving their homes, schools, and churches. They are learning to save, for themselves and their stock, food supplies which, after years, they bought on time prices. War-Sayings Campaign Major Allen W. Washington, commandant of cadets at Hammond Institute, appointed by Col. Thomas B. Mebeney for the War-Savings Campaign among Virginia's Colorled people, described in a book by his son, Stephen Stumps. He urged the Colored leaders to induce their neighbors to save their money and help Virginia meet its quotation of $440,000,000 in savings during 1918, and to send a woman and child in the state save $200,000. Progress Through Co-operation Rev. A. S. George, a preacher-farmer of Surrey county, Van, described the way in which his church had become the important rallying place for the good work which has been done by the industrial supervising teacher of Surrey county and the farm demonstration agent, both of whom are active factors in bringing new life to people living on the land. J. R. Hutcheson, Blacksburg, Va., assistant director of extension work in Virginia, spoke on "The Value of Thrift in War Times". W. T. B. Williams, field agent, Hampton Institute, showed the farmers how futile it is for them to secure large farms unless they are willing to do all that they possibly can for the improvement of the public schools which must train the citizens of tomorrow. Fred S. Hammack, instructor in poultry, Hampton Institute, gave a practical talk on "Raising Poultry for Profit," in which he showed the country people how they could distinguish between layers and non-layers. Mabel E. Williams, a member of the Hampton senior class, gave a demonstration in "Handling Rust in Clothes." J.

Get this: Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 11, 1918. Dear Friend Tony: Every time that I write your name your picture appears in the newspaper. The averdupship model of human health; then it dawns upon me why foodstuffs have reached the high prices at present recorded. Never before have we experienced the geographical situation of the country in which we have our habitat; I being a Meteorology, you can bet on my sayings of the atmospheric conditions; you have never failed to miss. As I before stated, I have made a great discovery, so kindly record and credit me with the same. The discovery I find that has inspired me to study the lives of our living states are no longer in the temperate zone, of course, the war may have inspired the climatic condition which has shifted these states from one region to another zone by allowing the big guns to camouflage the atmosphere; of this you can have little doubt. You published, a short time ago, by "Chick Steamers" a book about the miles of the North Pole. I hereby say that One Beamman's instruments for measuring northern weather are inaccurate, as B. V. D. and such like soaked in Green River, and you will agree that my discovery is more correct, as I have inhabited the living Beamman since the great traveller States (Dike) of the torrid zone. And I likewise had all the necessary belongings for a living winter, with the exception of cocoa. I kindly give me credit for my discovery. DR. TIM OWLEYS. 924 N. Senate Ave., Indianapolis, Ind.

A LOGICAL REPLY A fine letter accompanied a statement sent in by Princess Mysterina, the greatest article regarding "benefits." The Princess has a fine conception of the meaning of thrift, and her statement is interesting as it is enlightening. Read: Dear Mr. Langston: You are right again; you certainly have the right solution of the "benefit" problem, which has been so prevalent during the past few years. You will come to appear chronic. Your present stand in the matter will give the performer a cause to think a little further between the "lifter" and the "self-respect and independence go hand in hand and when we neglect to protect ourselves against illness and death, we can no lay claim to either. Those of us who are blessed with relatives should at all times he in close touch with them, as none of us know the nature of their illness or the or called. Those without relatives should adopt for themselves a friend and lay aside a certain sum of money from each engagement and remit some of the expenses of the mental or other protective service, and then when illness or death overtures us we will not have our names subservient to reliance by those who have been wise and well cared for, be a splendid resolve for the year and it is to be hoped that your advice will be accepted in the spirit May you and the great Defender prosper--Princess Mystery.

F e Priest Circular to Second Ward Voters Observer's Observations Continued while studying the political situation and conditions in the Second ward attention was called to a circular ad- ressed to the voters of the Second ward. To those familiar with the re- cord of the two candidates and the re- cent history of the Second ward Rep- ublican organization, this circular presents nothing upon any proper issue in this campaign. It deals with questions which the voters cannot de- cide in this nomination and are only brought forward to distinct attention from the deplorable condition brought upon the Race in the ward by the offi- cial misconduct and associations of Do Prist while alderman. The ob- server takes notice of them only because of the possibility that some new voter, unfamiliar with the facts involved, might be misled were these immaterial questions at this time to be ignored. Recognition for Majority Group This circular starts out with the announcement that it is seeking the support of the voters for the recognition the majority group of the ward, on what follows it is clear that Do not seek to take the party to victory, alone purely see lines, without regard to fitness or party leadership, party service and community welfare. In every other portion of the United States where the whites are in the majority our race is asking that Republicians and citizens be recognized and considered upon the events and without regard to Race and color. De Priest Injures Race South This De Priest Race political segregation is the most dangerous doctrine which any Race man can preach at the political and social death of our Races. We are in the majority and control only in the Second ward and if we emulate the lines and not according to merit and sound party principles here, we give the South just the example and authority it seeks to justify the white robbed our people of the dearest political and social rights in Southern states. Under the De Priest preachment we hope to help for relief people South. Do Priest Percils Race North Aside from the danger of the De Priest Race political doctrine of arraying the blacks against the whites in the other important battle in the country, the blacks have the control by numbers, because of its example to the South, it is especially dangerous and injurious at this time, but bad example to the North. If De Priest Race is not the political chains whose awful burdens of misery and death are driving our people from every Southern state to better their condition in Northern. In the South the states have adopted the hateful and sinister doctrine that the Race is unfit to participate in government or to be represented in office. The blacks have our Race by the hundreds of thousands have been and are coming North. The North, in the presence of these increasing thousands of our Race, is considering the Race problem in a light in which it has never before been called upon to consider it. In Pennsylvania, one of its professors in sociology, Mr. O. L. Universities has just completed a study of the Race Migrant to Pittsburgh in order to determine whether this new population is a menace or an asset. Our Race in Chicago, because of our control of the Second Ward, affords the only opportunity our Race will have to demonstrate our fitness for government and office before the North makes up its mind and realizes Northern attitude toward the status of our Race as citizens in the If we nominate De Priest the North will rightfully decide that we are hard-working and holding high office and we will be slated politically to be in the future a subject class as in the South, with no rights which other races are bound to Jackson Salvation of Race If we nominate Major Jackson, we will show that we are capable of self-government in the highest sense; by empowering the people, we stead of a discredited one incapable of shame or propriety and loaded down with indictments for alleged wrongful official misdeeds for private gain, we will show that we are oppressed Race there how to be just, though in the majority; and we will show the North in the new problem confronting it by our Irish example of the oppressed coming from the South, by conducting the Second ward along American democratic lines without any regard to Race or color in our political action.

UTH, MINN. question be raised properly in this campaign except to confuse, deceive and appeal to the Race prejudice and to encourage the Race prejudice in real succeeds in this crisis it will be generations before we can possibly recover from its damaging effects. There ongoing violence once over will be filled in Pleby before the war is over, in that order he might get in, he is promising a list of high offices to his followers, which offices are not now to be filled and some of which are not to be filled takes great pain to go after the only office now in sight for himself, while he deludes and beguiles his henchmen to be elected by the people and over which he will have no control. The zeal with which some of the Do Prisoners use the office shows how little they know about the laws and practice of politics that they have been de- ded by Do Prisoners. De Priest Insincore But suppose it were wise to adopt the doctrine of Race segregation now, and to own restoration to the office he had to relinquish on account of his 9 indentments, it is unreasonable to believe that the priest would carry it into exertion. He opposed Edward H. Wright, Charles Cowan, the men who at different times were the standard bearers of the Race in its fight for rightful, not racial, repudiation. When Dr. M. R. Bibb was a candidate for alderman to be the colleague of De Priest, De Priest opposed him, although the Race was at least 60 per cent of the ward. When Honorable George H. Jackson was a candidate for ward committeeman and De Priest had an opinion of the ship and political patronage of the ward in the control of a Race man who was competent he opposed and defeated Dr. Bibb. If De Priest was against and defeated the Raco for ward committeeman at the only time we had an opportunity to get it, how can we believe he favors the Race getting it now when this place will not be up for nomination for at least two years and there is no opportunity to get it before that time? And to get political control of the ward is impossible without the office of ward committeeman. De Priest is the only one of his Race segregation doctrine who understands even what he is trying to do. De Priest professes to believe in things to get back as alderman which he has opposed all his life. If he should succeed he would make an effort to get in the organization, and if he could do so his followers would be left outside to fight the organization as of old. De Priest a number of times left the organization to fight for himself and as soon as he got what he wanted he returned to the organization and left his followers out in the cold. If Do Priest were supporting for alderman D. W. H. Davis or Harvey McCormick, he would have to stood and fought for the political progress of the Race rather than self all the time and reserved himself for the people. If they have been possible to think that perhaps De Priest was sincerer, De Priest never supports anybody for high of achievement. If he changed as to be bucking some other candidate there would have been the strongest proof that a great change would be possible. But this campaign finds De Priest his old tricks, himself for office and impossible promises for his supporters. How to Control Second Ward The De Priest circular stresses the statement that the ward is 78 to 25 per cent black and the Republican organization is 85 to 15 per cent black and therefore can be obtained until 1920, the control can be obtained until 1920, the discussion it now? The only thing that can be done now is to elect one alderman to the present Race organization leader, the Republican organization was supporting a Race for the place in the person of Major Robert H. Jackson. Jackson, who shall be elected to ward committeeman and other offices from the ward will be taken up and decided when the opportunities arrive. The only way in the past in which a political thing in politics worth while has through the Republican organization, the Republican organization has itself equal to the just and wise solution in political condition which has confronted it. When our Race wanted representation in the legislature at Springfield the Republican organization gave it, and when the Republican party is in power in the county we have it still. We wanted representation in the city council. The Republican organization finally gave it after we had overcome the personal opposition of De Priest. If we want anything else to which we are entitled the only sure way of securing it permanently is to get it through the organization. The Race can more easily get through the organization what it is entitled to now than at any time in the past, for we have no longer a De Priest there to tell the ward committee that he can defeat the wishes of his Race and that the demands of the Race are only the expressed ambitions of dissatisfied and disappointed political leaders. In the organization now are such true Race leaders as Edward H. Wright, Louis B. Anderson, Maj. Robert R. Jackson, George W. Ellis, Dr. A. J. Carey, Edward D. Green, Adelbert R. Roberts, Wm. R. Cowan. FAMILY MEMORIAL Cleans the completion by removing bleembs and dislaborations, glitting the skin a really healthy way. It is also trained by the use of any other preparation.

The reason the three of them fought De Priest and the organization from the outside. United the Race secured just recognition. supporters of this fearless champion of selfish double-crossers. Jackson and a Constitutional Convention The De Priest scholar and followers are making much over Jackson's vote for a resolution to give the people a chance to vote for or against a constitutional convention. The reason the three of them fought De Priest and the organization from the outside. United the Race right to vote is because this is the first constitution in Illinois after De Priest for White Officials The De Priest circular mentions the two elective offices held by the Race in the ward, as against I Superior Court Judge, 1 Municipal Court Judge, 1 congressman, 2 senators, 1 state representative and 1 alderman now held by the Race. The reasons why he should be elected alderman over a clean man of our Race like the Major Jackson. By the nomination of De Priest no alterations will be made in any of the offices mentioned in the Constitution, effected until they come up for re-elections at different times some years in the future. While the Race cannot lose any office in this campaign by the election of Jackson, it might lose the race by the election of De Priest, with no chance to make any other changes in representation. Moreover, when these white men were elected De Priest was the responsible and recognized boss of the Race in the organization and managed the campaign and handled the money for these white men, when the Race was at least 55 per cent of the Republican party of the ward. When he was told the Race needed larger representation in the Jackson-Blbb campaign, he answered that you must come through the organization. The De Priest plea that the Race has now increased from 65 to 85 per cent of the Republican party and therefore he should be kept in the aldermanic office is nothing more than a little stronger statement of the De Priest creed, that when he is in office the Race is satisfied and needs nothing more. When he was alderman 65 per cent of Race majority required no increase and now 55 per cent only requires that he be restored. When the various places mentioned by De Priest come up for election the organization will meet the situation then as it meets the situation now, by giving to the people the chance and opportunity to nominate and elect the best man for the place which the organization can find. Black Men Name Anderson The De Priest circular state that The De Priest should succeed De Priest. If this were to happen, said that no one could have made a better selection. But the fact is that no present Race leaders in the organization would have succeeded De Priest, the white leaders had another candidate in view. The only fact now important about this Anderson selection was that the conference at which the selection was made De Priest promised to support Colonel Johnson, and had Edward Roberts and did not so inform Green. De Priest met Adelbert H. Roberts and promised him that he would support Roberts and did not so inform Green. Roberts was sent for De Priest left to avoid Roberts at the conference. De Priest finally returned, supported Anderson, and did not so inform Green. Roberts for the reason that it was agreed that Anderson was to, have only one term if De Priest should be completely recorded, he sacrificed everything and everybody for De Priest. The wonder is that there could be found any living supporters of this fearless champion of selfish double-crossers. Jackson and a Constitutional Convention The De Priest circular and followers made much over Jackson's vote for a reason to vote for or against a constitutional convention. The reason the hoist constitution of 1870, of the three states, was made citizens of the United States, is that which they reside subsequent to the war. The fear which our people are about a new constitution is unjustified without any reasonable basis in fact. THOSE WHO PROFESS TO FEAR A NEW CONVENTION DO SO IN THE FACE OF THE FACTS THAT IN THE LEGISLATURE MAJOR JACKSON A LONE DEFEATED THREE ANTI-INTERMARRIAGE BILLS AND ONE JIM CROW CAR BILL IN COMMITTEEES, TOGETHER WITH THE FULL CREW BILL WHICH SOUGHT TO PUT OUR RACE OUT OF CERTAIN PLACES ON THE RAILROADS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DANGER OF SEGREGATION, AS JACKSON DEFEATED THAT IN THE LEGISLATURE. NOBODY HAS HAD THE COURAGE TO INTRODUCE A SEPARATE SCHOOL BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE. IF THERE IS NO CHANCE TO GET ANY ANTI-RACE LEGISLATION THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE, THEN HOW COULD THERE BE ANY CHANCE TO GET AN ANTI-RACE PROVISION IN A NEW CONSTITUTION? THE FEAR OF A NEW CONSTITUTION IS A CREATION OF DE DRIEST'S IMAGINATION AND THAT OF HIS PORTERS, WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION IN ILLINOIS. DE PRIEST IS A GREATER DANGER THAN ANY CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. Those who seek a new constitution desire to give to women the full right to suzees and to amend and revise the tax laws. They want to ensure that which burden the people with unnecessary and duplicating taxes and to compel wealth to hear a larger portion of the tax bills. They would be unjust and unwise for our Race to try to stand in the way of those much-needed reforms. In time a new constitution would be on the best terms with those who will control it and do our part to our state. Instead of condemning failure, he should be commended for vote in behalf of the women and his state.

Wins Cross-Country Run Camp Grant, Rockford, FI., Feb. 15 —The one large feature of the week just closing was a big bridge cross-country run. Interest was at such a high pitch that not even the severe snowstorm that had been raging for 24 hours was a sufficient incentive to postpone the event. A beautifully engraved 12-inch trophy cup, donated by Brig. Gen. Malvern-Hill Barnum to the company making the best showing in the race was the prize offered. In all, sixteen companies, composing the Machine Gun Battalion and the competition, like racing steeds, the sturdy athletes were ready to bound forth at the signal on their 2½-mile run. The signal given the rough, crushed ground rushed forth with a dash and in 19 minutes and 52½ seconds after the start the man came in. There was never any doubt as to where the machine was, and the battalion Athletic Officer Leont. A F. Pitts had his men so trained that no one thought of anything but victory. **Company G Victor** The final count placed Company C in the lead with 305 points, being 11 points ahead of its nearest competitor. **Cup Presented** The cup was presented by Gen. Bam himself by the number of visitors and friends. Capt. Virgil M. Stoutte, in his own imittable manner, accepted the cup for his company.

Edwards' machine gun company gave instructive drills which brought steady rounds of applause from the audience. Two athletic events, one a wrestling match between Privates Orr and Johnson, and a boxing match between Privates Canada and Haywood, results in draw decisions from the referee. About the Jazz Band The "Pivot" jazz band, a new musical organization which has practiced under the supervision of Y. M. C. A. Director Snyder, won the most applidies of the evenings. Haunting melodies, with the music of a slide trombone and wails of a 1920s' old fiddle' were predominate during the selections of the orchestra. Sergeant Sloan's reading of "The 1920 Brigade," from the pen of Sergei. The group singing of the entire company were also important numbers. Welfare Gets Big Proceeds Nearly $600 will be turned over to the Rockford Public Welfare Association as a result of the show. The hall was donated by the Mendelssohn Club and the Rockford Public Welfare cost so that little expense was incurred staging the production. There were persons seated in the hall and nearly standing, according to the count of officers. Brig. Glen. Barnum was much gratified by the way Rockford people turned in the occasion and complimented his men in their excellent event showing, "It has shown that the men have progressed wonderfully in their army work and has assured the public which only boasts in their bridegift at the present time," said the general. 350th Machine Gun Battalion The 183d brigade entertainers gave a dress rehearsal at the Y.

It was evident to the great crowd of enthusiastic friends that Shaw had met her masters in the art of passing, shooting and the finer parts of the great indoor sport. Clean, Hard-Fought Game.

The entire Hampton team played a game, while Cook and Mowrey as forwards played exceptionally well for Shaw. The crowd, which was the largest to witness a game in Raleigh, showed enthusiasm and good sportsmanship, whether exhibited by the home boys or the visitors.

The weather was so cold that the attendance was not up to the usual number, but those who braved the wintry blasts were well repaid. The pitchers were Captain Joe Williams and Wiley for the breakers, with Redding and Petway in for the Ponchlanas. There has been a bitter between the two pitchers or some other pitcher pitched together formerly on the same team. The contest, however, showed Williams in superior form by his striking three strikeouts against Redding's three strikeouts. Next to the pitching contest the spectators' interest was centered in the two new men on the Breakers that shook the Cuban Stars, the former playing shortstop and the latter third base for the Breakers. The playing was particularly fast, and they certainly were the best of the Breakers' line-up. It was very much regretted that Gonzales was badly spiked in the ninth by Demoss of the Cuban Stars, the old man of those present believe it, and like a ball playing on the part of Demoss. Up to the fourth inning neither side got a man to third, and among the two baggers of the game was a working two-bagger as the Policemen, in the second inning, but on the next play he could have been right off second if Demons had not lined out another two-bagger Thomas lined out another two-bagger in the fifth and finished up the day of Willett of a catch with one hand of Willett of a catch with one hand surely would have been a triple if Thomas had not nabbed it with a one-handed back catch after running the ball but the latter could not next play trying to secal second, in the same inning Lundy made a pretty one-handed catch of Grant's liner. This latter also sacrificed and brought in Thomas, the only run made during the game. In the next inning Duncan made a pretty catch of Gonzales' long fly to left. A neat double in the eighth was made by getting Thomas' hot liner and doubling it up. Altogether the game was most interesting, and it looks like a nip and tuck race for the series between the two which one of which has now won a game. Totals... 0 3 1 Strike-outs—Williams, 8; Redding, 3. Two-base hits—Thomas, 2. Three-base hits—None. NORRIS PROVES A STAR, BUT 9TH ST. "Y" WINS Cincinnati, "Y" ENDearing to redeem themselves for the wretched showing against Dayton, Ninth Street smothered Springfield last Saturday in a runaway affair by the score of 51 to 9. Though light, the update boys were fun to watch. The way the fray was filled with excellent passing and the shooting. Sore at the grilling received from their patrons, the locals entered the game with a grin determined. This untouched decision, however, got a severe setback in the first fifteen minutes, for the Center street boys completely whirled their opponents off their feet, reckoning points with lightning reality. Norris getting three beautiful shots and a foul. Then Hull and Woodson, when working right, a powerful combination, began checking them up and when the ended the score favored Ciney to 19. The second half showed even greater improvement upon the part of the guards, who were working like a well oiled machine, and the guards completely stopping the Reapant's feet when they executed a beautiful bit of passing and scored, Jackson being the final to set three long books in a row, which set the gang wild.

ARMY, WHO MEETS HOCK BONE FEB. 22 FOR WORLD'S MIDDLE-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Matchmaker Davis Picks Hayden to Beat Hock Bones By Wm. Everett Clark Hampton, Va., Feb. 15—Hampton Institute defeated the Carlisle Indians in a ball in the school gymnasium on Saturday and won. The game was played before a large and enthusiastic audience which had gathered to see the famous Indian team play. Indians Score First The game began with the visitors making the first score, but they were soon followed by several from Hampton. In a few minutes Hampton had taken the lead. Gurnoe and Wright began breaking up the long, swift passes of several players, who were successful in making several spikes shots, but the short shots of McLean SPEEDBALL Matchmaker Hayden to Be Of all the boxing matches billed along the border in recent years, greatest interest centers around the Spiceball Hayden-Hock Jones bout, which is to take place at Columbus, New Mexico, on the night of February 22. The show is being promoted by the Columbus Athletic club, and, since that management usually runs the keenest and livest of shows, there is every reason to believe that this coming attraction will prove their one best bet. Henry Davis, matchmaker of the Columbus club, writes his follows of Hayden's past and his chances against the Memphis boxer: "I pick kick to win and want to say right now that it will be a light all the way as Hock Jones is one of the weight, Ningsters in the world at his weight. Withoutless, I think Hayden is his master. "Hayden started boxing when he was 16 years of age and living on a farm in the countryside. He had his bouts with such ease that he gained quite a reputation as a country-town boxer. His employer, being a race horse, Hayden encountered all kinds of fights, including those seen that he stood in great chance to develop into a clever ringster. He met and defended the local 'champion' boxing team that he wished to become a soldier, and was sent to the Columbus, Ohio, harracks. At that time there were more than 50 recruits at that post and Hayden beaten by a fierce fighter. A match was arranged between him and Hayden. Hayden won all the way by giving the teacher 'a nifty lage and knocking him out in the fourth Speedball's skill with the gloves followed him to the Twenty-fourth infantry to which he was assigned and to the 100th infantry, the pine vines veterans, always keen to see new material in action, clamored for an opportunity to see Hayden in a tryout. After seeing him bxs they considered him a potential undercover for a time. The matchmakers later refused to put him on, insisting that he start only in battle and not in many of these, being beaten but once. "Finally, Luke Blackburn, now ex- and Phillips were beginning to be more effective. The first half ended with Hampton having 27 points, while the Indians had only 12. **Indians Outplayed** In the second half the visitors were completely outplayed by the Indians, they fought on in good spirit and the whistle ended the game. The line-up follows: *Hampton (48).* Carlisle (22). *Milton (capt.), L. F.* Herman *Milton (capt.), L. F.* Metzenbaum *Paxton.* C. F. *Wright.* L. (capt.) Vigil *Gumme.* R. G.) *Hayes* *Referee—Capt, R. P. Hall of Fort* *Milton. Tricarec—W. R. Brown* *Time—20-minute halves.* Score—Hampton, 48; Carlisle, 22. L HAYDEN CHAMPION OF THE U. S. ARMY, WHO MEETS HOCK BONE FEB. 22 FOR WORLD'S MIDDLE- WEIGHT CHAMPION- SHIP Davis Picks at Hock Bones middleweight champion of the Twenty-fourth, told Hayden to go and get a "Hayden replied: 'I'll get the reputation at your expense if you over match me with yourself.'" Hayden came from the Twenty-fifth infantry, then middleweight champion of the army, transferred to the Twenty-fourth, and so on. He was a punching bags on account of Speedball's swiftness of foot. Williams planned on speeding up his own footing through sparring with the younger boxer. "One day, when Williams was preparing for a tough fight, during the time the boys were in Old Mexico with a personal pershing on the Puntive expedition, toughness and dug into him. His work against Rufus surprised the watchers and the trainers of the camp. His repertoire of jabs and pinches disrupted the boy many friends, because he got the best of the argument, which waxed into a warm tilt over six rounds. Rufus called a halt because he did not want to be watched. "The news leaked out that there was a new boxing sensation in camp, and the officers of the Twenty-fourth expressed curiosity because Hayden was matched and his efforts with a long string of victories. He capped the climax by giving Rufus Williams weight and a technical knockout last Christmas night. In the end, after the troops returned to Columbus. "Hayden is a quiet fellow and does not drink. He is the last man in the regiment that a man would take to his departure from his department and action. He is a young age of age, and should make a great name for himself in the ring."

Feb. 11 · Jim Jackson. a giant blacksmith, who claims the heavy weight championship of Panama, is now in Philadelphi wanting to light any man in the world to intends to make this city his home. Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 15.—The Breakers won the third game of the baseball series from the Pollinckins last Friday afternoon by a score of 5 to 2, thus giving the Breakers two games to one won by the Pollinckins. The team won the fielding and hard hitting on the out of the Breakers, although the Pollinckins did until the eighth innning. The two Cubes played a very fast first game in the field and also did their share at the bat. The other features of the game were catch in the innings of Santops in the innings of Wiley cracked out a two-bagger to left; in the fifth Dixon got first on a past second, then stole second and scored on Francks long fly to left. I hauern made a double double play. The Pollinckins first grounder, putting Francks in game second, got the ball to Gans in time to call Williams, tandy made a two-bagger this time, but was left by Fadone. In the sixth Hill sit to center, beating in the De Moss, which gave the Points two runs to the Breakers' nothing. Chasing the catch in this inning, retiring the side, Cockrell replaced Padre in the seventh and held the Pointsman for the second play, another double play was made in the eighth, chasing to Gonz and Gonzales. It was in this ninth inning that the Pointers justified their name as the team's first play, no no no on the game right there. Trouble for the Pointersman began when Gonzales made a two-bagger of a pretty grinder. Cockrell hit a short fly to center, which Gonzales could field, and Gonzales scored, Gonz next man up, hit to first, the ball getting away from Grant and allowing Gonzales to Johnson's short hit, to center, the second trick. It was at the period of the game that Rube Foster thought it wise to change batteries, putting in Witworth and Dixon in the places of Wickware and Dixon. It made no difference, however, to the fast going Breakers, as Hall at the beginning Glans and Cincinnati home. On top of all this trouble for the Polkersians, Hill dropped Santop's fly, laying him half score the fifth and last run. The right right here is who the story ends because there's nothing else to it—see? # POINTCANNA Barter, rf. R. H. P.O. A. E.

Fitzgerald's Auditorium last Friday night the Lincoln University basketball live show, the fastest and hardest fought games ever witnessed in this city. The intense rivalry between the two teams was the longest in the season. Lincoln is accompanied by about fifty rooters and together with the Lincoln Alumni in this city, the crowd was evenly divided in their support, a jolt when they observed the height of Sessoms, the freshman lad jumping center for the University boys, the crowd was two minutes of play Lincoln was found to do like a walkaway for the visitors. The local speed boys, however, changed their style of play and soon tied the goal. From then until the end of the half the score was even up, each team secreasing into a slight lead. The half ended: Lincoln's 19; Vandals' 18. Both half, neither team secreting much advantage. The height of the lanky Sessoms, however, spelled defeat for the seashore boys whose long inches. The final score was 73—33. Lanky Sessoms was the bright scintillating star for Lincoln, with Young the runner up, the entire Vandals live played in the arena. I Sesson and Hilton starring.

The butchery cut off a thin slice (couldn't be more humiliating) and wrapped it up, being a child. I though she had not been told to watch the scales and that her mother might have traded at this store and knew the honesty of the butcher. But something told me to watch the few customers, so I informed the butcher that not decided what I wished to purchase. Ignorance Displayed A working man of Color came in and wanted to buy some pork. Engaging the prospective buyer into a conversation in which the familiar term "Brother" was used to con him along, the butcher threw first one the customer to the scapegoat and the customer was told the scapegoat came to, but never the weight, and all times did the foxy butcher see to it that the meat never rested on the scales long enough to allow the dial to step where it should, the force that the customer was told the scales a few weights higher than the scales and the ignorant customer took the butcher's word and paid and went out while the butcher sent him away with "Call again, brother." "How much are your pork chops today?" he informed me that the cost was 22 and wanted to know about how much we do you want? I told him I would like to see them and when he showed me the loin I told him I wanted the shoulder. He started to cut and had about three chops off when he wanted to know did I want about 15 off 29 cents worth? I there and then told him he need not cut me any at all, as I intended to go where I could purchase by mail, unapologized, saying that most of his apples were way the dime and a dime more), but I could have it the way I wanted it "off course," he went on to explain, "you know I make more de older way," he said, before I got out of the store a woman seemed to cutting apples. First she wanted a nickle's worth. Next she decided she wanted more and when she finished she had got 20 cents worth, which he saw. He saw how much she had lost, as much cery man how much per pound the apples were. He said they were two for a nickle, but when he insisted upon buying by the weight he looked upon, he saw how much the same apples by pound weight I left with ten apples for 20 cents, having profited by getting two more for the same amount, than the one predecessor of me who unconsciously was helping the grocer and the butcher to get rich. This nickle and a dime's worth of groceries and meat, vegetables and the like has caused many dealers to be bewildered by their manner towards you as you use for pound weight. The same proportion applies to coal and everything else. a Colored man buy this or that here" "you are not down south now, merchant here are glad to serve you and sell your goods, regardless of your color."

You're truly. THE NEW FRATERNITY The designation "new" is used advisedly. This fraternity is not only new in organization, but it is also new to our experience, since it violates all precedent. We organize a fraternity, to stamp it as distinctly racial, to segregate, voluntarily, ourselves, seems rather ludicrous a step for the supposedly intelligent person to take. Certainly we have no Colored school principals here yet. I would hardly advocate Colored schools so that we might accomplish so narrow and so mean an end. Yet REV. H. L. SMITH WANTED REV. H. L.

I can believe that those who have university have credited themselves with having sound basic reasons for so doing. I can believe that they may be actuated by the following arguments, i. e.: 1. Desire for co-operation with like conventions in other colleges; 2. Social interference among Race students attending the University of Chicago; 3. Lack of opportunity for joining similar societies already, in existence at the university. I say I can believe that these reasons are acted in defense of the action taken by our students; but in the light of intelligent and broad minded consideration I cannot understand their following a mirage of selfish pleasures when, if they were only to drink deeply of the well educated at whose very brink they stand, we see that about such an action only the full extent of segregation, across which blows the winds of segregation. Let us look at the arguments advanced. Go for the first one: Aren't these young people aware that in the majority of cases they might cite bias in the way they are taught in small college towns? In some towns, social life is entirely dependent upon university activity. One can possibly excuse a group ostracized and already racially stamped for making the best of a bad situation by forming a society of own. But our own Chicago conditions warrant no such action. Outside activities take precedent over university life. Indeed, so true is this that the university officials hesitate to encourage purely social organizations. And put much more stress upon those honorary societies to open all who prove the second, reason has been answered in my answer to the first. Now as to the third reason, the one which the young lady advanced as a strong point in, favor of the organization: For twenty-seven years there, we have been in societies at this institution in like societies at this be true, are twenty-seven hundred years too long a period to hope and to fight for the acknowledgement of a right principle? We have waited nineteen hundred years for the full realization of the Christian principle. Have we weared? Have we turned our faces from God and hope? Have we selfishly seeking, often an obtusely pleasurable, to stamp ourselves as a peculiar racial group, for whom special privileges must be made? Why (instead of the usual practice) have all the pictures of our Colored graduates been taken from out the year book and placed collectively on a jauce in the rear? Why eliminate the opportunity by accepting marriage? Ah! the day will come. Whenonia shall stretch forth her arms.

With the purchase of the property on the southeast corner of State street and 57th place, measuring 132x172 feet, by the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, Willis D. Jefferson of the firm of Frederick H. Harrell & Co. $9 West side of the city, and $10 south side real estate dealers, for it was through his incumency that the $30,000 purchase was brought to a close. Mr. Jefferson's efforts have been successful in this sale and the officials of the P. of order saw the feasibility of the idea to take advantage of such a proposition as offered them and the sale was made. The business account of Mr. Jefferson. It is the plan of the Knights of Pythias to erect a handsome building the near future. The building will be of a modern type, containing stores and offices as well as spacious and hand-operated areas for the accommodation of the ladies. This sale necessarily attracts considerable attention because it shows the rapid increase of frontage values along the route, and it tends to emphasize the prediction of close observers that this district will be the hub of business and social activity in Chicago. It will be remembered that only five or six years ago cavalcade in the block south of 34th street in Chicago today it is quoted at $250 per foot, and this enormous increase has had its influence upon the values of the block to modern homes, modern stores and offices in the $250 block about a year ago or more, together with the natural trend of business that was responsible for this increase. With this purchase by the K. of Pledge at 87th place at a price of over $290 per foot, and the prospect of an audience, one can readily see what is likely to take place in the value of property lying adjacent. At the present rate of increase in population per square mile of 32th street it is predicted that still greater values are in store for this locality in the near future, as there are at present only a few parcels to be laid between 32th and 33rd while the population continues to flow into the vicinity at a surprising rate.

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 previous business is the biggest paying business in the world. The business is managed by wide-wake, hustling and honest business men, and let me say, I you here that my people now have the greatest opportunity that they, we 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 the white people have robbed them much that they have burned 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 "watspaw" to buy these leases for him for probably a few thousand dollars, when it proves to be worth millions of 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 the success is sure for the Mid-Vale. I believe you are convinced of that, yet already. do more money for development purposes as did the Itary St. Chair, 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 not asking you to give us your money, are asking you to give us with it, and are asking you to large profits that are to be derived. If you would stop and count up the money that you and I our Race have given to charity, such as Y. M. C. As, Hospitals, Churches and a number of other institutions, it would run far into the millions. This money we expect to interest in our town and all of these institutions are worthly helped, but if our people would be 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 he come out of the 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 people. But he has 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. At least one hundred shares of stock in 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, the application, blank and mail at once. Have you the nerve to act now? Or will you put off today for tomorrow until the opportunity is gone? And when the news comes to you, through a newspaper or through some friend that did have the nerve to act, that "WE'VE STRUCK OIL," then you'll say, "Ugh! Ugh! Gee, what a chance I missed." Don't be one of those TEN MEN DESCRIBED BELOW. Mail us your order for stock today, before it's all gone. Give us two or three days to mail your certificate or receipt. Our office force is working overtime now trying to catch up. 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., 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 and willingly 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 his neighborhood, Telegraphs, Manufacturing Establishments, Newspapers, Dry Goods, shoe Stores, Banking Institutions, and what not. He has indeed in many instances been the mighty driving power which has made possible success of the nation's greatest financial institutions. He has been a cheerful contributor to the other man's unlimited suc ```markdown ``` Contract has been let for our first well and the drill will start in a very few days, and as soon as this first well comes in Mid-Vale Oil stock will go up immediately to probably $10.00 per share, or will go off the market entirely. You can buy it now for $1.00 per share, per 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 big oil companies, the published weekly by big oil men. I am sure that you will admit this is that wonderful opportunity have long looked for. Now, while it is yours, accept it and go your limit. Don't blame us in the future if you let this opportunity pass you. 125-Barrel Well Brought In This 125-barrel well was brought in right near our property about three weeks ago. Now suppose this well was on our lease and that you owned stock in the Mid-Western, you bought it for your investment. Now, then, listen; we are going to drill twenty wells on this eighty-acre lease; and your pencil and paper and figure what we will be doing in the next three months. In this company draws not even one pencil as salaries. Our money will be paid to us in dividends at the same per cent rate as we earn. We have barrels of oil produced within twelve months from now. Remember, our reputation is doing big things that Natives have grown in a $200 per month position, and is deriving his full time as manager of the company for doing things you would rather walk in the light than in darkness, wouldn't you. And you would rather invest in failures, wouldn't you? TEN MEN Who Never Won and Never Will: 1. The mind-sighted man--never sees opportunity until it is passed. 2. The back-boneless man--always has to ask someone's advice. 3. The "only" honest man—must have the control. No one else honest enough. 4. The spendthrift—never has anything to invest. 5. The suspicious man—always afraid someone will rob him. 6. The conceived man—knows where all the best things are without being told. 7. The modern Shylock—believes in nothing but the "pound of flesh" mortgage. 8. The narrow gauge man—refuses to listen to anything "out of his line." 9. The unfortunate man—has a friend who invested and lost. 10. The fool—thinks a thing worthless or it wouldn't be offered to him. These chaps never get ahead. They simply can't—they are afraid. But the world is popped with the other kind as well—we want them. 8500 piles in Humboldt field producing Oil 62 COMPANIES PUMPING OUT OF HUMBOLDT FIELD HUMBOLDT The Company Oil Co. has its producing wells on this property THE MID VALE OIL & GAS CO.

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 wide 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 cat 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 not. Oil knows color nor race. She runs alike for black and white, for rich and poor. 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.

CHURCH AFFILIATIONS MOST-PEOPLE are taught in their infancy and from infancy to maturity that the church is sacred, that the teachings of the ministry are the words and laws of our Maker. They sail under this delusion until old enough to think and reason for themselves. What an awakening is theirs when the truth dawns upon them that a goodly portion of the members of the cloth fail to practice what they preach, fearing the tongue of man, apparently, more than the wrath of God. The good they do is negligible—the harm enormous. It is impossible for any human being to serve two masters and serve them well. The Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal church recently held another meeting for the purpose of considering questions looking to the union of the two bodies. We, as usual, were the bone of contention, the Northern body insisting on a no color line policy, the Southern body offering as a substitute to give us a little Black organization of our own. They offered a plan under which the 300,000 or more Southerners who are members of the Northern church might affiliate with some church organization of their own, on the order of a missionary body of the general conference. Here we have a body of so-called Christians wasting hours and days of valuable time debating on the advisability of reaching out to save twelve million souls or letting them shift for themselves. Nowhere in the Good Book can be found a passage that says the Pearly Gates bear the sign, "For Whites Only." How can such men bow their heads in prayer with a lie on their lips and bitterness in their hearts? Whether we affiliate with white religious organizations or not matters little to us in the long run. We are not seeking social equality, nor do we want to take part in the travesty on religion as played by the "wolves in sheep's clothing" company. When the "Welcome" sign on the church door has a string to it, when the leader of the flock tolerates discrimination, when the members draw their cloaks about them for fear contact with the stranger within their gates will ruffle their dispositions, when dollars smother right, reason and justice, that church is no longer a temple of the Lord's, but is a meeting house for his satanic majesty's subjects. Fortunately, such churches are in the minority, but their evil influence is felt, nevertheless. Even in this land, where prejudice is rife, the church should be one spot where all men are equal—but, is it? Misguided Friends AS WE FEEL like asking to be delivered from our oftimes in their desire to aid us they slope on every aim they had in mind. It is a difficult question how closely allied with us personally or that get our viewpoint. They may think, as they do, they are fooling themselves. The one aim and one our people is to destroy every vexile of color, are friends without the Face and the ignorant, and more barriers for us to break down, and it is illness. When shown their error surprise is a harm" look crosses the face. The harm done, and bear it, admonish, then wait for the next earnest but misguided friends have started a fund "to help provide for our enlisted and us for comfort and cheer that are given the personified; back of it all no doubt the true heart speaks, the mind acts on the impulse to light that the good of the present would the future. Our country's fighting force is black. One-eight United States is black. The white, the black citizen is fighting for the black, the white, the black those they leave behind for every comfort or man, of whatever color, entitled to the same depend on our group for what the people of the Black Cross, with its affiliated relief organs awarded the Black Cross. If so at the end we receive the if not, is there need for an "Black relief possible should be done for the boys acting effective can be accomplished by little are neglected, many good things. We are told to help our Relief Society. Why not? It goes hand in hand in our forms, besides taking a slight load off their give our mite for war relief work, but let them get the same as their reason and insist on it. We are promoting this scheme, we feel they are making it will retard rather than advance our people. SOMETIMES WE FELT like asking to be delivered from our friends, for a reason that oftimes in their desire to aid us they stop over, so to speak, and defeat the very aim they had in mind. It is a difficult problem for other people, no matter how closely allied with us personally or through unpliant organizations, to get our viewpoint. They may think, as they often declare, they know us, but they are feeling themselves. The one aim and object uppermost in the minds of our people is to destroy every vestige of color discrimination; yet here and there friends without the Race and the ignorant within the Race unwittingly build more barriers for us to break down, and it all done in a spirit of helpfulness. When shown their error surprise is evinced and a "I didn't mean any harm" look crosses the face. The harm done, there is nothing to do but grin and bear it, admonish, then wait for the next outbreak. Some of our earnest but misguided friends have started a movement to raise a separate fund to 'help provide for our enlisted and drafted men the sacrifices for comfort and cheer that are given the white troops'. Thoughtful members of the编组; back of it all no doubt the true Christian spirit is promoter. The heart breaks, the mind acts on the impulse; deliberation would have brought to light that the good of the present would not compensate for the evil of the future. One-tenth of Uncle Sam's fighting force is black. One-eighth of the population of these United States is black. The white, the black and every other loyalty of these United States is fighting for the same cause. They are all soldiers, all belonging to one citizen who leave behind for every comfort or necessity. Why, then, is not every man of our nation able to take the same thing? Why should our men depend on our group for what the entire country owes them? Has the Red Cross, with its affiliated relief organization, selected the black and favored the white? If so should they receive the support of miffed people? If not, is there need for an "Black Cross" organization? might be possible should be done for the boys at the front all will agree, but nothing else can be accomplished by little groups working independently, without one big, big group, as the Red Cross, confusion will reign, many deserving boys will be necured, one suffering on surfaced with good things. We are told the Red Cross officials said, "We are going to the Negro War Relief Society." Why not? It goes hand in hand with "Tim Crowell's formus, besides taking a slight load off their shoulders. Let every one of us give him a work, but let that work be general. If we find our boys are not getting the same white comrades let us find out the reason and insist on fair play. With all the friends who are promoting this scheme, we feel they are making a grave mistake and one that will retard rather than advance our people as a whole. Rounding Rascals UP SO PREVALENT in Chicago that it has even they insist that the chief of police clear a take it for granted the chief has been trying taking office, but it is easier said than con- sidered ground space than any other city of a police force so a police force too is signed them.

CRIME IS SO PREVAILENT in Chicago that it has even aroused the aldermen to action. They insist that the chief of police clear the city of undercover action for granted the chief has been trying to do just that. The chief over shce taking the city easier said than done. Chicago is a big city, occupying more ground space than the city world. It has a population of about 500,000, and a police force small to proper patrol beats assigned them. With these conditions what else could be expected but crime in every form? What the worst possible advertisement a city can have is a reputation as a thug's friend, editor, and we heartily agree with him. With so small a department the city is efficient, yet the public has a light to demand results up to the full possibilities sources. Laxness in any form of police work, faults in organization or anything else which tends to make less efficient a force at best inadequate to satisfy demands must at once be corrected. Neither the head of the department or direction the present force cannot rid the city of its bad characters the public must sanction the addition of a sufficient number to do the job or take the consequences. IT WAS THE CUSTOM for New York barkeepers to charge prohibitive prices for drinks ordered by a member of our Race. This scheme was not intended to be a punishment when the customer was in a lamblike frame of mind. The "rough house" kind of money going that way. The Court of Appeals recently rendered a decision in fact that sellers and handed them a doubtful compliment, besides. There is a law in that state which holds all places of public accommodation are forbidden to purchase the color of his skin—or of his necklace. In other words, the opportunity to buy such utilities, facilities and agencies of the man. In effect the court rules that when the saloon keeper declines to sell drinks and an man he is acting to that man's advantage rather than to his disadvantage, and is not infringing upon any of the rights guaranteed by the constitution. With that provision just around the corner, the time for the thirsty to buy drinks is likely, she said, we are concerned we would be better off if every saloon refused to serve us. AS A MATTER OF FACT the Defender was about the first BIG newspaper for drinks just around the corner, the time for the thirsty to buy drinks is likely, she said, we are concerned we would be better off if every saloon refused to serve us. The matter and the answer that radical opinion has the wave of crime—that is sweeping over us with unusual severity this winter. Somebody has to be in the vanguard, and we are generally that somebody. CHICAGO DEFENDER GO! LIBERTY PRISON OF DISCRIMINATION INJUSTICE LABOR UNIONS SEGREGATION AMERICAN HELICOPHY BILL JIM CROWN LEGISLATION YELLOW JOURNALIST NEWS PAPER FREEDOM FOR ALL SAYS PRESIDENT DEMOCRACY MUST RUN Making Ready IN THE BUSINESS WORLD efficiency is the keynote, and the one who fails to make good must make way for the one who can and does make good. The question is not, What have you done? but What can you do? When Opportunity knocks at the door is your house in order that you might bid the visitor welcome? In other words, have you specialized in any one particular line and are you able to hold up your end of the task equal to the other fellow, or have you neglected your opportunities and drifted on with the tide, trusting in luck to carry you over the rough roads? Today, when the demand is greater than ever for skilled workmen, when the color line through necessity is over, when the various shades of people are working slide by side harmoniously, must you still remain in the mental class—not you, men and women of mature age who have been deprived of many advantages—but you, young men and women, surrounded with educational institutions all your life, are you prepared to answer? School records show that about 10 per cent of our young men complete their schooling, 50 per cent leave at the end of the grammar school term, the test spend one or two years in high school, then drop out. Many reasons are advanced for this alarming state of affairs, the most plausible being the fact that many young boys go to school will quit school for work and thinks it a smart thing. This is likely discovered in after years when he attempts to make brawn compete with brain. The fault only in a small measure lies with the boy; the parents are the guilty parties. They should and most of them do know that education can harm him or for the race of life. If we had a monopoly on education there still would be barriers to surmount, but we would surmount them as we are doing today. In taking our place in the business world we are on probation; we start with a big handicap; we are not sure how to get the job; we must plaudits and to hold the same place. With the United States and the rest of the world in a chaotic state, with all kinds of labor at a premium, employers have not time to quibble over the color of a man's skin. The question is, Can you do the work? Even when the war closes there will be an increasing demand for labor. If you are not sure you are never too late to get in the band wagon—a little energy and temporary self-defense are all that is required. If when the smoke blows away we are not safely entrenched in the business world there will be no one to blame but ourselves. This paper has continually sounded the warning that procrastination is the self of time. Our opportunity is right here and now. How many will grasp it? Peace Balloons rice, big peace balloon is blown with the bursting of the balloon go pen. In President Wilson's o- coming year, as both sides are pre- vee hundred thousand American the "over there" before the end WHIENEVER a nice, big peace balloon is blown somebody slips up and sticks a pin in it, and with the bursting of the balloon go our air castles of laying down the pen. In President Wilson's opininb the fight will be over lest or won the coming year, as both sides are preparing to strike the telling words of the president. If the balloon go our air castles inform us, will be "over there" before the end of the summer, a fairly good showing for an "unprepared" country. But men alone will not win the war, nor have our allies need soldiers as much as they have munitions, foodstuffs and clothing, and last, but not least, money. All of these things we have furnished us. In Questionably Russia, in spite of herself, will play a great part in the peace conference. If, as it is curiously hoped, she gets herself together and resents with cannon Germany's attempt to steal a part of her domain, it will strengthen the allies wonderfully. Russia could keep the enemy engaged on the eastern front, and when Uncle Sam gets his 1,500,000 fighters on the west, the enemy will be able to attack us. The counterfeit peace offers Germany let it be known she wished to make could never be taken seriously by the allies. "Me und God" says: "If the enemy does not want peace, then we must bring peace by battering in with the iron fast and the shining sword the doors of those who will not have peace. We must admit, when it comes to battering things, they are past masters, but two can play at that game, and when the smoke is cleared away autocracy will be biting the dust. Again and again German peace balloons soar in the air only to be riddled with the allies bullets. The whole world is tired of war and would welcome peace, but not at the price asked. We have gone this far in the past, and we are not going to be able to do economic development would pass under the shister influence of foreign control. We would be puppets of the Kaiser, and what mortal with one drop of red blood in his veins could stand for that? We must and will win if every individual puts his shoulder to the wheel and helps push this cruel war to a conclusion. We would swear for a time, but Right finally prevails. Away with the pretty peace balloons that only lure to destruction and on with the fight to the bitter end. A WIRE FROM COL. DENISON brings the good news that the boys at Houston are in good health and excellent fighting trim. We expect big things from our old Eighth boys, and big things we will hear of them doing. We want them to feel and know the back-home folks are thinking and praying for them every day and anxiously awaiting their return. We want them to know we are there and when the smoke is cleared away they will find the home fires still burning and a welcome awaiting them the like of which only a true soldier has ever seen. COL. THEODORE ROOSPVELT is the one big man in this country, regardless of party affiliations. When he hears what he hears he gets results. Democracy should be his middle name for he believes in fair play for every man, and fair play is all that any man could ask. OUR FOOD-SUPPLY has been regulated to such a point, and we have become so used to doing without what we previously termed necessities, that our stomachs could not stand the strain occasioned by a meal where meat, wheat bread, egg and sugar played the leading roles. WITH SNOW piled from one to six feet high on the streets, speed manics are having a difficult time to keep up their reputation as death angels. BEGIN TO SAVE at the top of the barrel, for there is no telling just how much longer the war will last. PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles BY W. H. MONTGOMERY General Secretary, Committee of Ten Thousand Which element should rule in the present Second ward altermunicum campaign? Should the mere "toss of a coin" establish a permanent opinion in the matter? Should the choice in this matter be fixed solely by the shallow, skeleton, sentimental rhapsody of some one's selfish ambition, hidden motives and the subterranean greed to personal greed, avarice and gain? Or should we penetrate far beneath the discolored, siliny surface of present-day local political warfare, search in the depths of our society for the highest of truth and reason and extract therefore from virtue, honor and the embling principle of self-sacrifice and approving the highest service of humanity? These are vital questions which the citizens Mrs. M. E. writes: "I am troubled with shortness of breath; my "wind" is bad, and I have a fullness and a pressure in my chest in the region of my heart. I am troubled with dizziness and shortness of breath after the least exertion, and especially so if I walk fast, walk mastaches, or walk the street car I have to sit down for awhile before I can get my breath.

Doctor, I have done everything that any one has advised me to do, and have used Flip cough syrup for the cough. My cough is due to a heavy cold in my chest. I have used Scott's emulsion, cod-liver oil and many other home remedies to break up this cold, but I have not seen any clines seem to upset my stomach and cause me to vomit. I was advised by my good neighbors to use watermelon seed tea to increase the flow of my throat and to help toddlers to help cut the phlegm out of my chest.

E., the train of symptoms that you have enumerated for symptoms that you use to us the official conclusion that if you are properly stated your case, you are unoubtedly suffering with organic heart disease. By organic heart disease we mean that the condition of the heart itself. There may be a degeneration of the heart muscles, which the doctors term myocardial infarction, known as a "leaky heart" (mitral insurgitation), or you may have what we term arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). But you should not be so concerned with medical terms and what to call your trouble as you should be about how to get well. Because if a doctor should explain the mechanism of the heart in you, you would be no better off than you are now, unless you had spent many of study in the science of medicine. Our Advice We would strongly advise you to stop listening to and taking the advice of your friends and neighbors. Go and see your family physician. If you feel unwell, go to see some good doctor and right follow his advice to the letter. You cannot diagnose your case; neither can you successfully treat yourself. Your doctor will provide an intelligent physician service will thoroughly understand heart disease and diseases in general, for the reason that the heart is much related to all the diseases of the body. Also too many toddlers used to cut the phlegm on your throat, to cure your cough, should be thrown into the waste basket; or garbage can and sent to the dump pile. Such things will do you no good, but you will suffer from your much harm and will delay your chance of over getting well, and oftimes will AND SWEENEY, WAS Augusta, Ga., Feb. 4. Hon. W. Allison Sweeney Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: Enclosed you find a copy of the Echo publ here by Rev. J. N. Clay, in the Echo is a short article in favor of Rev. S. X. Floyd, and con- demining your issue of a recent date. I want to say to you that the editor of this little paper is a man about 60 years, slavery type. He makes his living out of this paper, you can judge the rest. I won't say anymore about him because I feel that you are able to defend yourself after reading his short article. Your piece in the Defender of January 28th, was read by the very best people of this town, and was considered just what the Rev. Mr. Floyd needs. Every word said is true. I've known him all my life and he is not a decent man morally. He is what I would call a white people's nigger. I've seen him even in summer time on Broad street (the business section) hat in hand and bowing and smiling to every white man he knew, and some times would keep it off until he left Broad street. I certainly enjoyed your article, in fact, all of the best people here did. I hope soon to read another. The paper sold like wild fire, and some was sold for as much as 25 cents. Write often, write more, and may God bless you and make you more able to help our unfortunate Race. Yours truly,. A SUBSCRIBER. my observations, there is apparently two distinct elements of our people supporting the rival candidates. I write this article purely from concluding a citation, drawing my conclusions from the evidence with some of the most ardent elements of the respective candidates. I do not advocate the cause of either, nor do I wish to reward or push, the most emphatically and emphatically the cause of the conduct of the present campaign as demoralizing to the social life of the city. It seems that the sacriest element of one’s home who sets public office on the pale of political slur, Rumors, lies and charges, calculated to deceive the finer fabric of sociological management, are hurled recklessly into their lurid flights. Women are granted the right of suffrage that legislation enacted by regularly cited representatives of the people lacked quite naturally to be expected to interest themselves in the select if leaders. They could not remain sungrifly if they chose, as they are persistently sought after by aspiring candidates in their interest should tend rather to dignify politics. But even they have been made the subjects of unmated threats in this scramble for power. Such practices do not inspire higher and nobler thoughts in the minds of the people. Character is, in a great was, a virtue. RANCE is the greatest curse to humanity and the only remedy is knowledge. Therefore, let the light of truth be the mostaking in the disarmed counsels that knowledge may lay way there. Returning to the two elements, deduced from the making of a light to place the Second in higher repute in the eyes, not only is the city of Chicago but of the entire nation. White, contraristice, those of the opposing faction are smooching, in transcendental dreams and are also ambitious to continue the domination of the manufacture of social values. I repeat that I do not espouse the cause of either but speak plainly and directly, the interest, common desire, intelligent interest of our rights and good government. I issue these exhortations in the rising hope that the voters of the Second war (if they did well) would learn reason tell them leads to broader opportunities and greater achievement for the future. This, and only the present Second ward sildericane campaign would subsequent campaigns where the interests of the whole people are involved. render four case beyond any moral remedies. First of all, the most efficacious remedy in the cure of heart disease or for relieving dropsy (which is only a remedy as mentioned in your case), is absolute use of the Wish to emphasize the importance of the treatment and cure of all organic heart affections. If you are going to try to continue your work, if you can continue to run after street cars, going stairs, use elevators or at a rapid gait eat something you wish, there is no need of your taking medicine or bothering with or trying to follow the advice of your physician, because the medicine will be good and you are headed (and very rapidly, too) to the undertaker's shop. You cannot get the proper care for the relief of heart disease in your home, but you can advise that you can do a good general hospital, where you can have regular systematic guidance, nursing and medical care, on should not take too much time to get into the bath room unaccompanied. Next to going to the hospital, where you can obtain that regularity of service, you can take care of supervision, we would advise that, If you are able financially, to secure the best trained nurse—we mean an experienced nurse, nor an experienced nurse—to stay in your room, to stay with you at all times, day and night, and have abridge of you in the absence of your physician. Your friends and neighbors will tell you to get up and walk in the fresh air—that it will take your strength to be in bed, and so annoy you with what you should do when you should be taking absolute rest. But if you are in the hospital you will get the proper attention and instructions that will enable you to breathe, your swollen feet and limbs, your hacking cough and all your present ailments, and in fact, you will be giving yourself the best possible chance of getting well. You should take medicine as a secondary consideration as compared with rest. You depend too much upon medicine. Depend more on the advice of your physician.
