Coming Out of Corporation Counsel Ettelson for Major Jackson Causes Big Surprise The Second ward of Chicago is to be the scene of another butter struggle. At a meeting Sunday afternoon, held in Cold Fellows hall, Thirty-third and State streets, which was crowded by protesters, the priest demanded that he run independent and the defeated candidate at the primaries consented. It was like an explosion, as no one but the follower of his faction expected him to do. Monday his workers bussed themselves getting petitions that his name might be better known, captains say they have many surprises to spring and that many names which were scratched, including that of the former alderman's sister, will be able to march 12 is another registration day. Jackson Forces Laugh A Defender reporter visited the city hall and talked with some of Jackson's followers, which constitute the regular Republican machine in this ward. They only smiled and said that it seconded the governor's call for the Pole to run, and more than that. The Pole would end his career in politics. Capturing in prentices working for Jackson took the announcement of the Pole to include as a joke. They are each considered a major factor in much larger majority than during the primary election. George F. Hardin, who controls the Second ward machine, says that Jack is going over and going over so strong it seems one of wasting words about the matter. Ettelson New for the Major Since the nomination of Major Jackson as regular candidate from the Second ward another surprise has been announced: a statement late Wednesday night that a long list of Republicans who were prominent in the affairs of the ward will be nominated during the primary night, have announced their intention of supporting the major in the April election. The Jackson standard and whose support will mean much in the campaign for election is Senator Samuel A. Ettelson, commissioner of the district, the well-known dean of the political friend of the Presist. Senator Ettelson will not only support Major Jackson, but he will take the platform of the party, Hon. Daniel J. Schuler, and Den Newmark have also declared for Jackson. With such powerful recruits to the party, his election in April seems assured. Dr. Kealing Laid to Rest Kansas City, March 8.--This city mourns the death of Dr. H. T.

H. Ellis, a law professor at Newport, Ark., on Feb. 14, at the time of his release from fall after a grand jury had decided that there was no reason to arrest him, the treason charge upon which he had been arrested. Ellis was in fall ninety-six days before the grand jury acted on his arrest. Roger N. Baldwin of the National Civil Liberties Bureau made public the correspondence in the case. The bureau sent Ellis through a Little Rock newspaper. It sent him one of its usual form letters, asking for a statement of facts, and of evidence that the rights had been violated under pressure of the war. In reply, Ellis sent to the bureau a letter asking him to self to President Wilson, in which he protested the patriotism of his views and acts, and attributed his arrest to Race, closing with the request, "Please give me my liberty." The bureau then wrote as follows to William H. Martin, the Newport, Ark., county jail, on what we are told is a charge of treason, which we suspect actually is a charge of conspiracy to his statement. Ellis seems to be a person of intense enthusiasm for the successful prosecution of the case at the Newport, Ark., court on the part of another Negro. "This bureau exists to serve all persons who suffer from malice or opioid abuse and should be glad to do what we can for Ellis if his case is a worthy one, and we should be grateful for any information we can provide to sources of information which you can give us in this connection. It occurs to us that perhaps the most practical way to investigate the good faith of the charges against Ellis, with a view to quashing the indictment if his version of the matter seems on investigation, accurate." The director of the bureau later re- corded the letter. The letter dated Newport, Ark., Fob, Kib. "This comes to inform you that I am yet alive and out of jail.

FIVE MURDERED WHEN LOUISIANA CRACKERS HOLD 'LYNCHING BEE' PAGE TWO INNOCENT MEN KILLED BY BLOOD- THIRSTY HOUNDS Not "Over There," But Over Here; Details Meager Delhi, Lai, March 8—News has reached this vicinity that a bond of white cowards, 300 strong, lynched Jim Lewis, Jim Jones, Will Powell, Bolivar Jones, and seriously wounded Richard Jones, who succeeded in evading the attack. The lynched men were accused of stealing hogs from the farm of a white farmer, but evidence developed later that they refused to work under the D. Furison, a prosperous farmer in this district. Furison led the attack with the aid of Hopper, numerous drunken, against the accused, and killed in the mecca that followed. The dispute started a week ago and terminated Friday in the strugging up of the accused, who were killed after they were lowered to the ground. The parties who committed the acts are "unknown" to the county to bring the guilty parties to justice. Reports, apparently well authenticated, reached here that the trouble started when Ferguson and Hopper went to the Jones residence to demand the release of the community. The Jones boys refused to do this, and the hog stealing story was trumped up. During the course of argument up to 75 years, Ferguson violated the Jones community by causing the Jones boys, causing the old man to fall in a stack of broken glass bottles and cut himself severely about the head and face, Richard and Will Jones, the seattle El Hopper accidentally shot his friend Ferguson. The blame for this death was held to the Jones boys and Powell and they were crucified by the police. The seattle El Hopper confessed to the murder the infiltrated crowd of whites tied the men together and attached ropes to the pennons of saddles and dragged the men to the jail. Dr. Barrier (white) made a speech prior to the lynching of the men and accused the mob of lynching the wrong men. He was shot at several times, and the mob succeeded in escaping with his life. The lynchers threatened to burn a church in which a meeting was being held, but when they were told that the shack were heavily armed and ready for battle, they quietly dispersed. Little details are obtainable as to the final resting place of the lynchmen, but it is understood that a posse of men are combing the woods in search of a slave. Shortly after the lynching an exodus started and fully 200 families have abandoned the city. County officials were stationed at the various deposits for the purpose of prohibiting any one to leave, but the desire was so great that they chose to in such large numbers that they were powerless to stem the tide.

REV. RANSOM'S NAME IS REFUSED A PLACE ON BALLOT SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918. BUFFALO, SYRACUSE AND OTHER NEWS REVERDY C. RANSOM IS FORCED OFF BALLOT New York, March 8.—After starting a campaign for member of Congress from the 21st congressional district, Harlem, that appeared to have the backing of Charles W. Anderson and other prominent Race politicians, Reverdy C. Ransom was forced to hear Judge Erlanger, in the Supreme Court order his name stricken from the ballot on the ground that he did not have enough signatures on his nominating petition. Mr. Ransom told the court he had 4,000 additional signatures, but they would make his light independently, requesting that his name be written in the blank space. This is the way the local Civic League member petitioned the Supreme Court complicated, last Sunday a number of representative Race leaders from the Harlem district met in the headquarters to advocate for Congress on the Republican ticket, and decided to devote their energies to the election of the regular candidate for Congress on the Republican son and the United Civic League. Assemblyman Johnson came out squarely for the organization candidate.

Say, Clarra, 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 brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not groom 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.

Y., March 8—The early part of next week marks a revival of that contemptible Race play, "The Birth of a Nation," in Brooklyn. It is being played at one of the Lowe theaters in downtown Brooklyn, in a district well populated by our Race; and most unfortunately, in a theater employing Colored girl ushers. The daughter of D. Macon Webster, one of Brooklyn's prominent Race man is now in residence. He will remember that attempts were made to stop this illiberal Bite on the Race when it first appeared in New York, but the then mayor, John P. Mitchell, now, happily ousted from city hall, saw the attempt to stop it. Another attempt should be immediately made to the present Tammany administration to run, forever this play and all others of its kind, from New York. BRIDGE ST. A. M. E. CHURCH Brooklyn, N.

Sara Spencer Washington, President TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perennial crease, it is no wonder people get bashed for hair tones. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade oil is the most medicinal pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It is also an important part of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the house. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoo, Quinasoo is made from coconut oil, which is principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoo lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and shiny and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and a bottle of wine for the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to call the drugstore or saler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co. 79 Eust 130th street, New City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. Adv. TRY IT!

There is no reason why our lease is not just as good as the one on which the big pools near us are located. ‘Lhe won- derful 100 acre lease owned by the Barbados Company is in an absolutely proven territory. ‘This means that: oil is ac- tually being produced all around us. Geologists’ reports and the drilling of wells show that the field runs toward us and we are only a short distance away. Drills are pounding down all around us. The famous leases which join the Barbados property are worth Miltions of Dollars and cannot be pur- chased at any price. They are making fortunes for their owners every day. The Nancy Ely lease alone has produced over fifty thou- sand barrels of oil and is still yielding a small fortune daily. This property lies directly southwest of the Barbados 100 acres. The Gilmore lease is located just southeast of our property and the Craig lease joins us on the west. There are now 10 producing wells on this property, the last one, a 190 barrel well, being brought in less: than two weeks ago. To the northeast of us is situated the famous Stamm Pool, operated by H. A. Beasley, a well-known Coffeyville man. It now has 28 producing oil wells and four gases. These prop- erties have netted their stockholders big returns. ‘The lease on which it was situated was sold to its present owners by our president, Mr. M. D. L. Cox. . Others Have Made Fortunes Why not you: the Barbados Company opens the way. Come in with us now; help us develop our lease and share with us from the start. Just One Share will cost you Five Dollars‘ and will be worth Hundreds of Dollars in a short time. Such has been the history of the oil and gas develop- ment in the State of Oklahoma. If you could stand here near our lease and see the rich liquid wealth flowing from the ground and filling tank after tank, at the-rate of $1,000 an hour for 24 hours a day; if you could see the huge drills pounding away night and day and figure whatever new for- tune-making well that is brought in means to this field and means to us, we are sure you would get excited, too. We be- lieve you would put in every dollar you could rake and scrape. Wait until we hit this pool of oil—and it looks like you won't have to wait long—and then see where this stock goes to. If you haven’t bought, you will wish you had; then it will be everlastingly too late—you will have missed your chance. A two thousand barrel well on oux lease would make us all im- mensely rich. It would give us more than a Million to divide among our Stockholders. Why We Need Your Money Doubtless some who read. this announcement will ask why we are willing to take others in with us if our proposi- tion is such a promising one. Now, the answer, however, is quite simple. You couldn’t get in this Company if we had plenty of money. We want to sell you stock for just one reason—it's a pure business proposition. We need your help to develop our holdings quickly and are willing to sell you shares, make you a partner and divide our profits with you in order to get your support. > As a Stockholder in the Barbados Company, you will be © = partner and part owner of all leases, equipment and prop- erty of every nature owned or ever to be owned by this Com- pany and share in all profits the Company may make from any source. Now, while we own our lease, yet it will not produce rev- enue until wells are drilled and the property developed, and in order to raise the necessary capital to do this we have de- © cided to place a block of stock on the market, ‘The Standard and other great oil corporations were originally financed in a like manner. a _Money derived from the sale of this stock is.to be used © for immediate development purposes, with a view of getting a production started as quickly as possible. We ave offering for sale only enough of this stock to accomplish this end. Why Our Stock Is $5 a Share Owing to the limited wumber af shires we are placing on the market and the alnigst certainty af ny striking oil upon the drilling. of our frst O Welt. our stock naw x greater Value than that of other companies engaged In “wild cat® drilling In unproven territories.

NEGROES FORMERLY OWNED ALL OF THIS RICH Y REALIZED THE GREAT WEALTH 4HAT IT CONTAINED a . € HOW WE BEAT MILLIONAIRE f Our lease was héld by the well known millionaire bank- € ers and oil operators, Hess and Bucher of Bartlesville, Okla., and through the omission of their field clerk they failed to pay the rental on said tract the day it became due, and our president, who is always alive to such conditions in the Okla- homa Oil Field, found this out and went and got a lease from the Colored owners of this land, had the lease of Hess and Bucher canceled in the District Court for non-payment of ¢ rentals, although with the assistance of an array of counsel they made a stiff fight to retain it, realizing its value and worth. The title to this lease is invested in the Barbados Oil and Gas Company and is on file in the office of the Register € of Deeds of Nowata County, Oklahoma. ' Try to Buy Us Out | The big white company surrounding us has been trying to buy our lease and has oftered many times its original sale price, but we won't sell. If. it’s good for the white company, it is good for us, You could not lease a foot of land for miles € around; merely through the cleverness and knowledge of our - president did we slip into this exclusive, valuable field.

TO MIDNIGHT CLARENCE JONES' ORCHESTRA CHILDREN 10c ADULTS 20c OWL THEATER 47TH AND STATE STREETS Theatrical Review "You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes." The Grand For the first time in many moons the patrons of this theater had, on Monday night, an opportunity to see and hear the greatest musical act of its kind, Henderson Smith's Ten Dark Knights. The fact that this fine aggregation has just returned from a long trip to the coast, which was one of the most successful theaters have ever made, lent added interest to the occasion. The singing includes, as well as some real brass band music, the music of the institution singing and dancing which is very far above the average audience, no "soul" moments, and any time that Tony Langston Tony Langston the featured comedian, James Brooks, hasn't the house in an uproar with his jazzy body, the band is either "Jazzing on the floor" or than pleasing caliber going on. The special settings are beautiful and the dressing of the net has been looked at, and the fact, Henderson Smith showed us that. Ten were featured on all the time over which they have played, and demonstrated that all the great press notice comes from Desk during their long sojourn were justified. Well trained in every particular, it sure is a versatile bunch. Other notes on the bill are Murray. Other notes on shadow-graft act; Louise Elliott, a fine male impersonator; the Astor Four, a mixed quartette with some good singers; the Board and Ward, Hebrew character artists. Minus & Bryant were featured for the one day, Sunday, after the successful three-week stand of the Smarter and Bryant teams, cut one far above the average. Miss Bryant is a clever little comedienne who can put a song over like it was meant, and she is a great comedian, her partner, Bad Minus, sings up in the line of present-day comedians, and those who saw the pleasons were amazed to hear that they have many, many weeks booked over more than fair time. The Dixie Threes, lads of tender years, danced their way into fair play and danced their way into fair play, greatly in rounding out a good bill. The Avenue The Monogram Dancing Dotson, the fellow with the educated feet, featured with the Step Lively Girls, is at the Palace theater, Baltimore, Md. PRICE OF A GOOD TIME For three days, beginning on Thursday, this week, "The Prices of a Good Ticket" will be presented at the States theater. It is a wonderful picture of the "type" class. Manager Paul was invited in being the host of a popular house. A short synopsis follows: "Did you ever have a good time?" is the question which Preston Whitfield, young man of wealth and delicacy, puts in his mouth department stores, and sweet-faced little beauty who officiates at the perfumery counter in one of his father's mammoth department stores, is a cratic fiancee, are off on a yachting cruise, and the family mansion has been left in care of a discreet servant, and the family mansion has been each evening throughout the week where she wants to go. We see them on successive nights diving at a seafront, taking in endless amusements at a near-by summer resort, and dancing at a cabaret. A policeman, who sees them taking in night after night, communicates his suspicions to Lim仕德's pungent brother, Dick. It is Lim仕德's whim to take the center of the two mansion, where he tempted beyond life strength. While Preston is making love to her Dick hurts through an open window and sweeps his head up to an unusual denomination. Will Preston be main enough to marry the girl whose life he has broken for years, and whose marriage is fraught, and leave poor little Linda to pay the price of a good time? Come and see how intensely it works itself and just feel. It is well worth your while. INTOLERANGE BIG STOCK COMING The Famous Aggregation, the Lafayette Stock Company, Opened at Avenue 15th Street on April 15 After many weeks negotiations have been closed whereby the celebrated aggregation known as the Lafayette stock exchange, the South Side's theaters, the Avenue Robert Levy, manager of the Quality Amusement company, was a caller at the event. She has a few days ago and informed me that she would soon have a chance to see what New Yorkers have been raving over for the past three years. The original company, which includes some of the world's largest retailers, will be on Monday, April 15, for a long stay and their first presentation will be the famous broadway success. "Madame Tussauds" on this page will be kept informed to all future details of this engagement. BIG MINSTRELS P. G. Lowery's Greater Minstrels is having great success, and a fine letter hit the Old Hall Top Desk from Walter Johnson, who invited the writer to be at Harvard, IL, where it plays on March 7th. The invitation had to be refused on account of the writer having been out of the city for several days, and the writer was unable to attend for more reasons than one. But such is life, and circumstances are such at this time that I will have to miss a chance to review the greatest of all repertory works, and over the following roster of well-known names and you will weep with me: Clarence Powell, Jimmie Thomas, Frank Kirk, Jivin Richardson, Walter Johnson, and the orchestra directed by Curley Johnson, Joe Means, Ed Tollier, P. G. Lowery, Salle Means, Callie Vassar, Edna Barrett, Whitmore & Whitmore, and the great boy soprano, Goldman, with the orchestra directed by which to conjure. It would not be surprising if the writer has the blues from now on to the end of the season, and the very thought that Wallace Johnson will have to have been the refreshment and entertainment committee during the visit make it all the harder. This week the following towns are being played: Beechwood, Harvard, IL; Woodstock and Harvard, IL; Evenwilley, WIS; and Milwaukee, WIS, for next Sunday. Billy E.

I don't say that they are working, as there is no place here for good acts; that is, if they know how to get it. Tell Henderson Smith to answer my letter, and if he doesn't, send me some money for the Lights to Go Out. Kindly pray for the Lights to Mr. Abbott and the stuff, Col. Marshall, MaJ. R. R.

I will not try to wear my trusty typewriter out, so will close friends and readers of World's Greatest and by saying to you, at Tut Ter Lur. Will write again next month.

Education: After reading your most interested and 'benefit' problem I thought that the method which I have adopted would be interesting and beneficial to some numbers of the profession, and which will be useful to you in the day, and do away with the necessity of asking aims for burial. First, have a permanent address, preferably with some one very near to you; then each money order or express money order, to yourself. Not having this money about you in currency, it will be impossible for you to spend it. For my prefer to express orders, as they can be sent at any time. Second, maintain an insurance at this address. In the top of my trunks I have a box into which I drop house permits and nickels until it is full. I prefer to express dollars. There is sleek and accident policies are kept up. If there is any lacking I make that up, of course. But you will be surprised to find out how rapidly these pennies were taken and the dollars. There was time when it seemed that how much I earned I could save nothing. The above method has been my safeguard, and lay-offs do not inquire me with fax, as formerly. Should guarantee me a certain sum until able to resume work.

In the following, the statement of officer Scott was together with Officer Middleton, arrested Dr. G. Miller in his office at 3614 State street on Sunday, Feb. 17th, and on Monday, defended before Mrs. Miller, who stated she was innocent before him. Before that time forced calls to Dr. G. Miller had been ignored, and in his refusal Dr. R. J. Miller had been called. The office further stated that would hold that Mrs. Miller would have self-destruction, an argument which the defendants had intended to show that Dr. G. Miller was a victim of the "doublecross." Officer Scott's restitution was elaborated by that of Detective Middleton. Failed to Notify Police Dr. R. J. Miller, the physician who was called in on the case then took the stand. Since the death of the vie- torial police officer has successfully eluded the police officer in the inquest, the inquest, when he appeared as a witness for Dr. G. Miller, "I had given her an examination," he said, "and once giving same four facts in several sections of the inquest, did he know that an abortion had been committed?" A. Yes. Q. Did you notify the police? A. No. because a Ghulam and threatened to kill her. Q. Was she able to get up? A. No. Q. How could you leave it to her when she was HELPLESS? A. I thought she could find some means, which kept him so enraged that he did not have time to notify proper authorities, not even when a life might have been saved. Coroner Davis said; "I did not notify the state's attorney or coroner's office that there has been an abortion committed!" Dr. Miller reigned. "I didn't know of any rule." He told for your own personal benefit and to prevent criminal proceedings against you, wouldn't THE WOMAN'S PAGE you have thought that to have been the most admissible plan." No. You You have thought that to have been the most inviolable man. Yes. Cooper didn't-Diploit you through examination of the deceased that her condition was very serious, and still you were so negligent as to allow her to buy there and suffer or be killed in police murder, the police when a human life might have been saved." A. I left it to Ms. Ghant. Q. Did you make any attempt to get in touch with the police after knowing that you made a statement to the police on Sunday, Q. I tried once. Monday morning about a o'clock. The coroner then questioned him whether or not he was aware that the police had not killed the defendant that business kept him from seeing the police until the morning of the inquiry. The doctor was excused, but the testimony he had caused his implication in the crime. Dr. G. Miller Takes Stand Dr. G. Miller, after being warned that any statement he made at the inquest could be used for or against him, took the stand. He professed that he was not a victim of abortion being committed until brought to Mrs. Chant by Officers Scott and Midleton, and that the story Mrs. Ghant told the police was all a frame-up on him. She questioned about Mrs. Ghant's claim that he had not been an abortion doctor, and that if he had done something like that he refused the case. Q. Do you know if the government has state or the mayor of city have jurisdiction or any one the authority to commit illegal operations? A. No. Q. Why did you not report the news? A. I was one of the four docu- ments in the newspaper concerning in chengio and was kept busy stantly, until midnight some times, and being so busy it slipped my mind. Q. Is there not a form upon which a authority report such cases? A. I did not know of any form ex- isting. Q. Is it not your duty, as a phys- ician, to wear clothes in, to which authority you are clad in, to cases where crime had been com- mitted? A. Yes, but I was so busily employed that I paid no attention to them. I am wearing $15 when by the city of chengio, and my in- side practice, which not me a nice little sum each and every day? I cannot make such a statement against me than she was angry with me because I refused to come to her house when called, knowing that she did not have a lawyer. The accused man dropped into his soat exhausted. Q. Is that all doctor? Then you did know that life was in danger, and that all assistance have been given to render all aid possible? Q. The coroner then wrote the statement of the House, senior legal coun- sey hospital staff, who, following the post-mortem examination of Mrs. Ghant, ascertained that death had been poisoning through an illegal operation. Q. The jury, deliberating for a short time, rendered a verdict of murder, against Dr. G. Miller, and charging as M. Miller, whose criminal neglect offered no assistance to the dying woman.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT The 1917-18 season of the Chicago Symphony orchestra has presented programs requiring careful examination of the music he has been listening to the heart of the nationalistic compass and striving to ascertain if the pulsations are normal, sub-normal or abnormal. He was, in Jewel, offered a job of "jewish Poems," obviously belonging to the abnormal class, while Mr. Gilbert's "Comedy Overture on Negro Themes," given a nationalistic concert, was obviously sub-normal. Henry F. Gilbert was born in Massachusetts fifty years ago, received harmony instruction when a boy from New York with MacDowell for three years, was attacked with wanderer in 1883, sojourning at the World's Fair, where he observed the music of the orientals with MacDowell for three years, was spent many months digressing French literature, as well as counter point; returned to the States in 1902, became an associate of Arthur Farrell, an American musician; an invaluable asset; and finally decided to devote his life to composing. He was the friend of Mr. Gilbert's offering praise must be tendered him for having the temerity to propagate Negro music as typically American, whether his efforts be sincere or selfish. Of course, Doorshak was the first to course. Doorshak was native to have since been going on where he stopped. He was themes of the comedy overture were not distinctively Negro, hence Mr. Gilbert began with erroneous material. The tunes were bold, but flat, not one awakening that feeling of emotion or jubilation evoked by original Negro songwriting. The orchestration was interesting, especially a fugal construction of a so-called Negro spiritual, "Old Shift of Zion," a number of years interested whites have been collecting spirituals, corn songs and shouts from remote sections of the south and shouts from remote sections of the south as typically Negro, while the whites have been collecting sections given the white man or woman's interpretation in the translations, and the majority are so exotic as to be wholly unrecognizable by the Race, the American whites writing Negro music, for one has but to revert to days when ministrelsy began to know why they muttered the Negro, and the subsequent deposition of his working and sorrow songs into the vulgar and Jungleist routine. The Negro and the Indian are being sarcified on the alter of popularity by peoples should take up this phase of their cultural development and guard it jealously, for to them belong the honors, if they but work for them, and to compose as he has medicine, theology, painting, literature and other sciences and arts, I predict that within the next twenty years the music world will be a black Wagner and call him master.

Write for our special offer to agents PROBLEMS FOR PARENTS By Mrs. Bertha Moseley-Lowis "What's more trouble next year. He's going to remark a young mother in my hearing, 'No more trouble.' This mother was doing as so many parents are prone to. She was shifting the responsibility of her child entirely upon the teacher. However, we have recently come to realize that a child's entrance into the educational system means a co-operative effort. Their responsibility does not end in sending a neat, clean, sweet child to school, but should also include frequent visits to the school room. You are careful of your school room. You are careful of your home at home with you. How much more careful ought you to be when he leaves you to enter his new home—the school room. Yes, the school is his new home, from 3:15 in the afternoon it is his habitation. Are his environments there all you would wish? Are his companions there all you would wish? Are his teacher farmed, just free from disease? How does your baby girl or boy compare with the fifty-old others under the teacher's supervision? Is his clean, his height or dull? All parents should know themselves in answering these questions with a personal visit to the school which their child attends. This visit will do much to help your child in his development, to appear to a disadvantage before his parents in comparison with other children. All teachers take a keen interest in those children whose parents are friendly visits to the school room. Perhaps your visit will be an education to you. The problems confronted by teachers will be clearer understood; the issues may come to you, you will have a better understanding of what "going to school" means in your child hitherto overloaded; you find unexpected talent and virtues; the issues may come to you, you will have a better understanding of what "going to school" means. And does this supervision of your child's school life end with the grammar school? Indeed, not when you are needed school but when an adolescent boy or girl enters the high school. You are not needed to scold or to dictate, but you are needed as a teacher. You are not needed to understand and experience Talk about school life, after school dances, parties, studies, dress, boys, fraternities, sororities and all the miscellaneous heterogeneous masses of ideas that all the children have. You may then help your young man or young lady to avoid the pitfall of many seemingly innocuous inducements in school activities. Is an after-school dance in a school proper? Do you scold. Have a dance at home with the shades up. Is it right to meet boys on the corners and in front of your home. Inside the boys to your home; make sure they enter the light. Every youngster is ashamed of actions that are hidden. All youth prefers light to darkness. Bring your child to school and into the light. The school and family do all they can. You do your "bit". Your home should be as near an ideal as you can make it. Children need to learn from their studies. Help them keep their studies. Do nothing at home to make your child seek enjoyment elsewhere. There are people who allow their children to consume intoxicating beverages; there are people who allow their children to hear obscene language; there are people who encourage their children to vulgarity. You should never call such by the name "parents." In the enlightened day to come, in this hour of the Race's greatest oppo- ration, salvation lies not only in the children, but in the parents "going to school."

BAPS BAU ROAD COLOR LINE RAPS RAILROAD COLOR LINE Washington, D. C. March 3, S.A.-According to the Army, Shen, acting president of the Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen, more than 4,600 members have either been or are military forces of the United States and Canada. In many of the Northern Western states the vacant places have been filled by men of color, who receive lower wages. In its appeal to the commission for approval of the Western states the organization attacks the railroads for discrimination on account of color. "It is perfectly plain to us" says M. M. McCormick, who coerces these employees to save money and to prevent a complete and effective organization in the ranks of the railroads. In certain of the railroads refuse abruptly to apply the provision of arbitration awards to these men, thus curbing the policy. "It is always the policy of our brotherhood in negotiation for better working conditions and wages to ask them to do the work, regardless of color, but it is a fact that where Race firemen are employed the railroad offenders include them in the benefits received."

The bout will go down on the record books as it is knockout. It was the opinion of many that Sam McVea quit cold. One minute after the beginning of the sixth round the battle was den termination. They both stepped out in this session and boxed in the center of the ring, McVea missed a cut on the jaw, then clinched; they broke the arm with the stomach, McVea and left to the kidneys; McVea clinched again and as Referee Lefty Eberhardt parted them. Wills fired a right uppercut, which landed in the McVea sink to his knees, McVea on his back, wriggling in apparently great agony, claiming that he had been fouled. Referee Eberhardt promptly entered the secretary ten over him, then Dr. Vallarino, boxing commission, composed of Mr. Gunrldo, Mr. Arias and Mr. Zubata, jumped in the ring. McVea was examined and stated that no blow had been delivered to Eberhardt then raised Wills' hand in token of victory. The usual crowd of excited fans surrounded the winner and McVea had a shade the best of the battle in the time of the unsatisfactory ending. The first two rounds were even. Wills earned the third, also the fourth, and the following round was all in favor of the boxer. Vee, who has always been regarded as a very clever boxer, showed dazzling brand of this stuff today. He bided his time in clinching at every opportunity, the other hand, Wills tried to light open. The articles of agreement read that not petty fouls were to be allowed, and in order for a man to win in this way, would have to be examined by a physician, the local boxing commission. Dr. Vallarino was the physician selected. Harry Wills proved to the fans present that he was a far better boxer than he was on the other day. McVee was a sad disappointment, only in two rounds did he show any of the fighting qualities for which he has been noted for in the past. The ringside yesterday proved the fact that boxing is popular. It appeared to those sitting around the ringside today that Sam McVea realized that he had no chance of winning against the younger opponent who was too strong, too clever and too many lying general for the California lighter.

They were overjoyed, realizing that they were collected a vast amount of coin. At 3:35 Colon and jifed lovers together and Referee Eberhardt was selected to act as the third man in the ring. The selection met with the approval of the fans. At 3:35 Young Jeff the mitts for a four round tilt, which was called a draw. They were followed by Young Sharkey and Kid Bayes, who were selected to fight the curtain to be a good, game fighter, but he was a match for the little dusky scraper who faced him. The bout was stopped in the fourth round and the decision given to Sharkey. He scored eight knockdown during the eleventh minutes of battling. Then came Kid Diamond and Kid Bailey, who fought a corking good eight round somit-windup. At Bailey was the end of the frutes and the fans noted it. The light was even up to the sixth frame, when Bailey got in some telling wallops, which earned him the big end of the purse. At 5:15 Harry Wills came in with a generous round of applause from the crowd. MeVea climbed through the ropes a few minutes later. Both men looked to be in splendid physical condition. MeVea protested against the man, but his demands went unheeded. Four Minute Man There Announcer Joe Engleberg, in clairvance, announced to the assembly that Mr. Joe Wynne of Halboa Heights then in loud, clear tone, that Mr. Wynne in loud, clear tone, that once just why the United States is fighting the kaiser and his followers and that the result would be a final victory for the allies and the civilized world.

Singing and Booster Fighting Dr. Vazquez, in his endeavors to give the large crowd plenty of fun and amusement, then staged a rooster fight, which lasted 20 minutes. The birds went to it in regular fighting style. It was a maniacous man, a communian referee grabbed the small of the two and proclaimed it the victor. The attendance enjoyed the bout immensely. The Harmony Four, that popular bunch of singers, then entertained the crowd with some real classy songs. To say that they made a big hit is putting it mild.

American Giants Lose Pitchers' Battle in Ninth Inning See that your news gets in the World's Greatest Weekly Palm Beach, Fla., Mar. 8.—Well, of all the wonderful games that have been brought to a disastrous end, to have game beats them all. It was played by the players of the employees of both the Breakers and the Royal Poliancoana hotels.

An added feature of the game was the attendance of the Junior Naval Reserves from Camp Dantels at West Palm Beach, who gave an exhibition game.

Each team had two players, one mitt and both were brilliantly suited by the fielders. Not a man on the field reached third till the ninth inning. Some of the spectacular features of the game were the fielding of Charcoal and Grant in the first up of Francis and full one-handed stop by Gonzales of Duncan's fast grounder in the fourth, going him ample time to nail the ball. Grant was strenuously about his being called out at first base that he was about to be waved off the playing field, but a second base hit in the game, Duncan and Dixon down on a fast double play in the seventh, Joe Williams to Charcoal to the game went up and tuck till the ball was in the whirl and when Brooks walked, after being hit by one of Tom's fast ones; Joe Williams was let down on strikes; Gains and threw in plenty of the whirl and the runner going to first, but Grant missed the throw.

We have leases in different sections and we are bound to make money as soon as we can develop our properties, and that is why we are selling stock now. —And get this point: Your stock makes you a partner and part owner in every acre of our present leases or any we may acquire, and your share in every dollar of profit the Company may ever make from oil, gas or any other source. —We have a permanent operating company, and for- tunes for us all is our goal. —There is no preferred stock; you share on an equal basis with the rest of us. —We all want quick action and are handling the Com- pany’s affairs that way. We're in this deal to make money for each and every stockholder—and lots of it. te otate of Missouri, and CONTROLLED and MANAGED ey BY NEGRO MEN.

The experiment proved so satisfactory that the question of color is no more raised when an applicant applies for a position. But this happened in Canada, just a few hours' ride from the States, it is true, yet a long ways from the States' methods of doing things. When our government assumed control of the railways a few of the optimistic ones saw in their mind's eye our men manning trains from the engine to the caboose. They argued, and soundly, that with government control would come civil service, and with civil service would come their opportunity. Many changes have occurred in the conduct of the railroads to improve the service, for war needs especially. The "Jim Crow" attachments, with all their variations, have been retained and one-eighth of the population—one-eighth of the present American fighting force—are subjected to the same humiliation, the same unequal accommodations they were before the several states lost their say so. There is no question as to the power of the government. What is ordered, is done, but seemingly this end of the railroad business so patently disgraceful has escaped the attention of the powers that be, though letters and telegrams have been sent praying that these evil be obliterated. Where, if not at the seat of government, are citizens expected to look for fair play? Other issues of far less importance to the country at large have been taken up by our chief executive and by the governing bodies and settled to the satisfaction of those concerned—why the silence on the discrimination practiced in the South against our people? The South hasn't always been in the saddle. We have had many Republican administrations which saw and didn't see, doubtless fearing to offend their brothers below the Mason and Dixon line, who claim to "know us," but, let us add, not as well as we know them. For this condescension the Northern white man was dubbed by the Southern white man "dough face," which was but a curt way of saying that the Northerner had no backbone and would swallow anything, good or bad, which the South said to swallow. As proof of this, and leaving the Race question out of the argument, has the South not always run over the North in the matter of representation at Washington? The North knows this—has known it for years—and, though the North suffers by it, what measures have been taken to remedy the evil? We speak of the solid South in the same breath we speak of Democracy, of course; Republicanism is smothered in its infancy. The right to vote is denied enough people to break up the solid South. The same power keeps in force "Jim Crowism." Does it not seem inconsistent, to say the least, to have men—American citizens, soldiers—humiliated on account of their color, in their own country, by the very people they are giving their lives to protect? Does it not seem that everything possible should be done to unify the people in these times, when war threatens the very foundation of our-government? Is the world democracy the allies are fighting for to be patterned after the display afforded by the United States? There are some things that we, as American citizens, are entitled to—some things we must receive before this country can say to the world: "See, I come to you with clean hands, not soiled with the blood of my brother!" Coming to Our Rescue PORTIONALLY we have a host of who have backbone enough to come out of anything but popular.

PORTUNATELY we have a host of friends on the other side of the fence who have backbone enough to come out in the open and champion a cause that is anything but popular. In a South Carolina paper, a writer took occasion to encounter the author on an already biased public, making statements that could only be attributed to his warped judgment. Like others who are ashamed or afraid to tolerate or to hoola-hoola, the nom de plume was used, which, in itself, should have been enough to stump the article unworthy of notice. But a friend would not have it so and sent back the following broadside: "Is the dominant race to pursue a policy of revenge, injustice and cruelty is not a question of duty to the Negro race, but an obligation the white race has to fulfill. We are the creators, custodians and exponents of a Christian civilization, and as such, we owe it to ourselves to be true to our trust by pursuing a policy in keeping with our exiled creed." Powerful expressions these, and if they could but sink into the hearts and consciences of these self-appointed dictators and and lords of creation, what a blessing it would be!

PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles ETHICS AND THE DOCTOR By ethics we mean rules of conduct or good manners as stated in our former article. There is a business side that you are good for it; that you are not going to run off; not to be unness about his money. "Do not be afraid of me doctor." Such expressions are bad ethics, very bad. to the practice of medicine. In this country doctors are required to pay for their education, both literary and medical. Doctors are entitled to a reasonable compensation for their services. We wish to emphasize the words medical chus physicians do not charge so much primarily for a call or a visit as they do for the DR. WILLIAMS service rendered and time consumed in rendering you service. A physician may call one time at your home and charge from two to five dollars, accrued for the service rendered; on another occasion he may value his services as being worth from five to twenty-five dollars. The thing that we wish to impress upon the public is not the number of medical services and not the number of medical services to make to his office, or that he makes to your home, and remember that, when the doctor renders your your bill, it is not for so many visits but for services that you have received so many visits, if he gives it to do. Employing a Doctor When you contemplate engaging the services of a physician, either for a call at his office or for a visit at your office for performing an operation, or for an inpatient, you should, first of all, certain or ask the doctor what are his charges for such services. For an inpatient's office and he is a stranger to you, and you to him, you should first state your name, address, the nature of your business and on the other hand state your services for office consultation or examination. Secondly, if you desire that he should make a call at your home, he being, a stranger, you should ask him to make a call at your home or for a maternity case, stating to him at the same time your financial ability to pay for his services that he needs, your family. On the other hand, you will not prepared to pay your doctor, tell him at the beginning that you desire to open an account with him and ask him to pay for your business, where you work, the nature of your business, your ability to pay and just when you will be able to pay him for his services tendered you. In other words, you will be a physician, the same as you would with your grocery, your shoe store, a large dry goods store or bank if you desire to borrow money from a bank. "Do Not Be Afraid of Me." "I'll Not Run Off." "You Need Not Be Unasy About Me." "Money" etc. Do not phone physicians with a physician or any institution. Would you go to Marshall Field & Co., Siegel, Cooper & Co. or to Wainamaker's and the other physicians in your area a hat or a coat and you take the package, turn and walk out with it, saying, "I am good for the price of this," "I will get you money," "You will get your money," "Do not be unasy: I will not run off." The answer is "No." Because if you did you would understand that you were running on the contrary, you would furnish bank or credit reference to any one of the above mentioned firms to prove with any one of your old establishments. Just so, it is your bounding duty to do the same thing with your physician. If you want credit, ask him for it. Do not give him that "you have no money, but that you are good for it; that you are not going to run off; not to be uneasy about his money." "Do not be afraid of his expressions, you had ethics—very hard to find," the physician has a right to charge you a reasonable fee and is a sole judge as to what his fee should be for his services. "You should price and find that you are not in position to it, tell your doctor frankly and ask for charity or a reduction in the fee, that do not accept his services and then not about the fees charged," the physician said. Compelling Doctors to Call Some people have the erroneous idea that doctors answer calls by day or night at any and all times whenever called upon by responsible or irresponsible people. Never let me inform you once for all that you are not in charge of a doctor or will compel or force a doctor to take a case. A doctor can treat you if he desires to do so, and if not, he can let you alone. Most good doctor will treat you if the suffering humanity free of charge is incurred by pay, if the person will but state in the very beginning that he or she is not able to pay him for his services. But a doctor out of the police can call a doctor out of the office in his office to go and attend any one. The doctor had to pay for his education. he has to pay his office rent and living expenses—and why should the doctor pay for his services without compensation? Following Advice of the Doctor It is your duty when you employ a physician to employ the best informed, the most skilled, the most physician available, if possible. You should employ a doctor that has had and has hospital connections, for the reason, as above, these physicians are very well informed in the methods of practice, the necessary counsel and instructions to be given. Be it far from us to intimate or give impression that all the good physicians are well informed and know what to for their patients. You should follow them and be by your physician. Some of our best physicians never served as internes in any hospitals and yet are well informed and know what to for their patients. You should follow them and be by your physician. He has no other reason in advising you except for your good. He knows your present condition. If your future is likely to be if you should not act and follow out his instructions to the letter. When you are sick, your mind is partly dethroned and you are acting for yourself; and that is when you engage the services of a physician. Once you engage a doctor, it is his duty to see you and see you and change life of your patient. You must document dictates. It is not for you to tell him how often to call, but you may ask him to call you. You need him you will call him, and in such cases you are no longer under his medical care and it is your duty to cancel your bill with him then and after. It is bad ethics if you have a doctor attending you and he makes several visits and when his bill is presented with the excuse of being on come up with the excuse of the first time playing him stating that you did not tell him to call. It is his duty to call when you are under his care, as often and as soon as possible, as necessary, while you are ill, and if you do not give that kind of service so inform him—pay him and then the contract is canceled. When you call him again you are entered into and you are obliged to pay him and pay for his services until illness is terminated or until you dismiss him. There is always a contract (especially an implied contract) between patient and doctor that is not discharged him. The doctor cannot discharge you without giving proper warning, and it is not ethical for you to discharge him properly warning or for good reason. If you are not ethical for you to call in and engage the services of another physician. If you are not getting your paper page or have missed for some time, write it down and adjust matters satisfactorily at once. FEDERAL "JIM-CROWING" There have been many persons and many interests to call attention to the serious problems facing the federal government on account of its taking over the control of operation of railway and other questions have been made to appear for review. These are leaves, which in reality are not questions at all. The scare which developed in California and a few other states over the prospect of not being able to collect taxes on railroad property while the roads are under federal control seems to be built more upon fear than reality. Raise issues have been made by those arbitrarily opposed to the idea of government operation and ownership. But a large measure of the voluntary advice and free criticism has been due to a very commendable spirit of inquiry to ascertain what the federal government, in its necessity, is going to do with reference to problems of railroad administration which it has consistently denied any interest in. In the matter of wages for railroad employees the government had refused to the perfectly clear doctrine that the payers have rates of compensation for the railroads might also fix the wages and supervision other operative costs; now it must do this very thing, regardless of how the powers to fix rates and wages are distributed among government bureaus and officials. The government has announced that it purposes to observe all the State laws enacted at various times and under widely different circumstances and ideas of legislative function. In doing this it will test the difficulty, held to its own by the exhortation by the private manager of the State relations with forty-eight different States and at the same time preserve its good humor. If the federal government makes good its promise it will have to observe all the conflicting laws—there are many of them—and when the railroads are returned to the private owners the country no longer have a great miracle revealed to it. Another problem which the national administration must face is the "Jim-Crow" car laws of the southern States. This is not a problem of speculation; the negro citizens are already alive to the psychology of the hour. The Negro press is eloquent and persistent in efforts to force the issue and at its request to the National Association for the Protection of Colored People directed its officers to take immediate action against federal Jim-Crowing. Mr. McAdoo will naturally be adverse to changing these race prejudice laws of the southern States and "cattle to observe them will be a convenient refuge for the government. But notwithstanding this the government's sincerity in taking over the railroads to promote efficiency will be severely tested. Southern railroad men have, during the last several decades, frequently protested against the expenence and the cost of shuuling two coaches where one would have it were not for the "Jim-Crow" laws they have pointed out the serious extent to which these laws lower efficiency. With the crying shortage of cars and the loss of transit time in switching at State boundaries the efficient railroad administrator would like to eliminate "Jim-Crowing." But the pledge to observe State laws, conflicting and inconsistent as they may be. Although far from the "Jim-Crow" area of the United States, The Tribune assumes that it might be possible to grow "Crowning" during the war. Realizing the cities of the transportation situation, very few white passengers will insist on standing up in a "white" coach while they are several vacant seats in the "College Station" city of citizens of the southern States are not likely to let pass a great opportunity to attack a discrimination that is most painful to them. The coach, they may be the certain of a determined oppose to the person of the Director General of Railways. Mr. McAdoo may be expected to stand by the administration's stand to observe the State laws. He is said to observe the state record of eliminating colored employment. The Treasury Department. It would avail little to point out that the public "Jim-Crowning" of some 800 negro army officiers is a national humiliation, or that the white soldiers will find no color line in "the Old World."
