Farm Labor Paid Only 65c and 75c a Day in the South BY A STAFF CORRESPONDENT Montgomery, Ala., April 5—Many persons in the Northland are wondering why so many, many members of our race live in the same parts and livelihood in the Northland, the matter will be cleared up when one stops to consider the joke which those that have gone home from off their farm have to pay to transport them with the dark skin who toils with his hands daily on the farm has provided. This explains the laws made to hold the farm labor on the farm—for here in Montgomery, Ala., the farm labor in bourgeois, it has taken place, as far as it can, of outright ownership of human bodies—slavery, which the Constitution of the United States Enticing Labor a Crime It would seem strange and incomprehensible that there exists in the United States now a crime for one employer to entice away from another employer—but it is a crime in Alabama. Moreover, it is a crime punishable by a heavy fine or a term in jail, and in the United States, in Mississippi and other states throughout the South. Despite this fact it is known that over 500 members of the race left Huttlesburg last year for points in and around Chicago. Another crime is for a farm employee to quit and go to a Northern city. He finds himself guilty of a violent, violent, law and is not only jailed, but some white man, as a rule, his former employer, comes along and buils him out and makes him work at 50 cents a day for may be two years or more. Again, on some pretty excuse, they manage to get away to the North—the freedom—only to find themselves later located, arrested and returned South, lodged in jail, fined and put on the chain gang. The process is easy. The Southern sheriffs give Northern detectives $25 and the man sought is turned over to them between court terms and the unlucky fellow is ruined. South is again被 the court of the court of law to be jailed, and a few may be his get-away in safety once more. Many of these cases have been stopped at the last minute, when some honest lawyer found the place. "One of these is halbes corpus writ out preventing the wholesale kidnapping and allows the unfortunate Southern brother to get a fate trial, which as a rule is not allowed to be made to the taxed house and allowed to earn a good livelihood without being molested by the pesky southerners." Numbers Have Left Alabama, Louisiana and other states in the South, as far North as North Carolina, have lost a goodly number of workers, northerners. The South believes, however, they have found a way to keep "their help" down where working hours are from sunrise to sunset, and the pay from $10 to $15 dollars per month. They are pinning their hope in the new labor law concerning labor CHICKEN JOE CAMPBELL IN APPEAL FOR PARDON miti Allen, when it was learned that he had the state division of pardons and pa. as for clemency.

SOLDIERS OVERCOME BY GAS FUMES; ONE DIES New York, April 15; James Power, 30 years of age, a member of Company C, 361st machine gun battalion, Camp Upton, is dead and Carey Williams, 24 years of age, a member of the same company, was seriously cut off as a result of gas poisoning. The two soldiers were in bed in a room at the Hotel Press, West 135th street, afternoon when the fire of gas led the maid to their room. Breaking down the door, the men were found unconscious. A call to the Harlem hospital brought Dr. Andrews and an lance. A pulmotor was also secured from the Consolidated Gas company and after laboring over both men Dr. Andrews pronounced Power dead and his body removed to the city mortal. William was removed to the Harlem hospital. RESEENTS DOCTRINE; KILLS BEN- EFACTOR Montgomery, son, Al., April 5—Willis Brower, son of the late Congressman James Brower and instantly killed last Sunday by Charles Varner, merchant, following a car crash in the Bronx when Brower self-convinced the men of Color were not getting a square deal in the South, advised them to go home, where the atmosphere was breathable. agents. For example, here in Alabama any agent seeking to take labor out of the city must pay a fee of $200 to $400 to the county which he operates, and on top of that he must pay a fee of $200 to $400 to the county which he will go to get his labor. The scheme is one to try to keep labor hero and curtail the law of supply and demand to the immediate and worst outside of the fluence (up to 30) from the benefit for the benefit of the workers. The Southern whites have got around the ministers of the gospel and other leaders in the city to out so they, too, are begging the Race to remain under the present conditions. Laws Unconstitutional That such antiquated laws—which place human beings in the category as inanimate property—are unconstitutional, has been admitted repeatedly. But as one white official put it, they "aint say anything about the validity of the laws." They "just keep quiet." There was another measure, knocked out by the courts, which for some time workers in rural workers in virtual thousands of rural workers measure made it a crime for a worker to leave his employer while he owed money. And the employers, particularly the contractors, rented hands in debt. Under the tenancy system the farm worker signs a "contract" to work a year for a stated amount. The contractors, on the other hand, agree to turn him with food and sometimes mules and farm implements. What came was to charge expensive prices for supplies, and thus profit hugely on one hand, and on the other make it impossible for the farm laborer to quit his job. The contractor, in turn, is said to sail in turn ment a worst system of ennounce—this time the "convict" is sold out to contractors by either the farmer, now, while the last law no longer obtains, seamen still is practiced despite the depleted denials of the South. The contractor is likely to look upon the criticisms of the South's wrongdoings as wholly uncalled for and in the light of interference with the work, with as much immunity as she wished. Here is how it is worked, among other ways: The commissaries on the plantations and in the lumber belts are operated by employers. They work the principle of the "white man's price and the Negro's price," the former being much higher than the latter. By this means the darker Race is always kept in poverty. The South's excuse is that he won't work when his stomach is full, yet the truth of the matter is that they refuse to give him no children an education, neither father nor children can figure, and it is what the employer says the tenant owes that goes in the South's court rooms. The laborer has no chance, neither has he any courts to go in which to get justice. The fact that none of the Race who have migrated to the North have become public charges, despite higher wages and better living conditions, seems to carry no weight with the haughty southerners. It is met with the arguments that the South's climate affects the Race, and the general men who have fled from the cruel South who have fled from the cruel South to the cold North. They forget that the cash, the right to keep books along with the white brother, coupled with better living conditions, better working conditions, the right to educate his children will always be the biggest enticer to the North land than any labor agent on the face of the globe. The worst of it is, that the plantation owner is imbued with the spirit of the land. He is made to rest his life while he toller works for from 40 to 50 cents a day. On the North the wages ran from $2 per day to $10.00, $3.00. A constant fear for not only his own life, but that of his wife and family makes a big difference. He is a thousand miles away, but year from year from where he misses the power of the Serengeti to keep them here is to place them on her statue books as a man, open the doors of the schoolhouse to all and give them a place to rest. The Crow cars and abolish lynching. In other words, make the South here a place of true democracy, where all races and creeds can live as one, only then, will she keep her best labor.

Batchman, St. Correspondent St. Louis, Mo. April 15—Since the riots in East St. Louis the public has wondered what would be done toward securing damages for the lives lost and the property destroyed. The Springfield, IL., riot raised the same question. That the people of the state occupy a doubtful position before the law and there is a serious question as to what protection the law really gives, is made plain by the following comment which your correspondent secured from Attorney Heather G. Phillips of this city, one of the former lawyers in this section and a man who has given much study to the riot ease and upon whose shoulders much of the damage thrown. Attorney Phillips in this section shows the serious defects in the present stature which should be speedily remedied by the face people of the city with the opinion, which agrees with that of the opinion, which whom I have interviewed, follows. "Complying with your request for a comment on the statute in Illinois, entitled 'An Act to Suppress Mob Vibes.' What I shall have to say is directed particularly to Sections 1, 5 and 5 of that act, which are as follows: "Section 1. Be it enacted by the people of the state of Illinois, repressed in the general assembly: That any person in the state live five or more in number, assembled for unlawful purpose of offering violence to the person or property of anyone by violence of the law, or for the violation of the law, or for the power of exercising correctional powers or regulative powers over the person or persons by violence, and without law authority, shall be regarded as a mob." "Section 4. Any person or persons composing a mob under the provisions shall be liable by violence inflicted material damage to the person or persons injury to the person of other person upon the pretext of exercising correctional powers over such violence and without authority of law, and deemed guilty of a felony, and shall suffer imprisonment in the penitentiary not exceeding five years; and any person or persons in any manner as may sustain or injury to person by a mob shall have an action against the county or city in which such injury is inflicted, and any injuries as he may sustain to an amount not exceeding five thousand dollars." "Section 5. The surviving spouse, limed heirs, or adopted children of an inmate, who before the loss of life, were dead, or for support upon any other person who shall hereafter suffer death by lynchment, or city of this state, in any county or city of this state, may cover from such county or city damages for injury sustained by reason of the loss of life of such person to a sum not exceeding five thousand dollars." "Section 1 defines what constitutes a mob under the laws of the state of Illinois, and there is no doubt as to its authority. It also arises as to whether this section the law can be made to apply to the facts and occurrences growing out of the riot in East St. Louis on July 2, 1863, and that the lawful assembly of persons for the purpose of offering violence to the person or property of anyone supposed to have been guilty of a violation of the law, would have none of the persons who lost their lives or were personally injured or had their property destroyed was 'supposed to have been guilty of a violation of the law,' and that the writer of this section must have complained that only persons who were 'supposed to have committed some crime would be the victims of the riot.' The other part of the section is also doubtful and it places the burden upon the one claiming the protection of this section to show that the persons who were guilty of a violation referred to in the first part of the section did them 'for the purpose of exercising correctional powers or regulatory powers,' etc. So that it will be difficult to prove that the Court of Illinois must be had before it is definitely known what meaning or construction will be given this section and whether it is broad enough to accommodate victims of the riot of last July. "The first part of Section 4 being the penal part of the act, is unnecessary to comment upon, but the latter is necessary to comment upon, as the entire act, as to its real meaning. This section provides that 'Any person so suffering material damage to property or injury to person by a mob shall an action against the county or city in which such injury was inflicted.' It will be noticed that the disjunctive 'or' is used—county or city—in the action against the county and not the city or against the county and not (Continued on page 3) Major Is Elected Alderman Over Oscar DePriest; a Big Victory for the People Officers of Company C, 370th Infantry, Newport News, Va. THE SERVICE © officials of Company C 370th Regiment (old Eighth Illinois), now stationed at Camp Stewart, Newport News, Va, preparing for a strenuous campaign against the Huns "over there." Reading from left to right: First Lieut. Arthur Jones, First Lieut. Samuel Gordon, Captain Jimmy Smith, First Lieut. Harry Jones, Second Lieut. Roy Tisdale, Second Lieut. Avill Williams. This is the first picture published since the boys arrived at the sea coast town. After one of the most stubborn contests ever known in the political history of Chicago, Maj. Robert R. Jackson was elected alderman of the Second ward last Tuesday. His victory over Maj. Jackson was significant because fact was generally recognized that his election would be a triumph for decency, good government and law and order. Not only that, but people among his supporters, but that De Priest himself did not stand for the ideas and principles in public life which at this time make for the best candidate in the presidential party and the Race of the Second ward. A study of the vote by precinct discloses much more than can be inferred from his sworn testimony. Maj. Jackson wins by 708 votes, durability, according to the latest figures. It is to be noted that De Priest rejected 24 less women votes than Maj. Jackson, while at Springfield gave the decisive vote which conferred the privilege of voting upon the women of this state. The following are the votes of the two persons of the Race carried their precincts where special efforts were made to defeat them with their neighbors: Hon. Ed. Cotter, counsel and Ald. Louis B. Anderson. Hon. Edward D. Green of the city attorney's office: Hon. George W. Ellis, assistant corporation counsel; Investigator's self office: Attorney A. L. Williams. Hon. James G. Cotter, assistant attorney general, besides many of the members of the Republican party organization. The white Republicans of the ward were loyal to Mal. Jackson and those entitled to special mention are: Hon. William Jackson from Washington and made two strong speeches for Mal. Jackson and the Republican party in the important crisis in the race; Hon. George F. Harding Jr. son, mentor from the First district, who was a strong supporter of Jackson in the primary and election; Ald. Hugh Norris gave Jackson a substantial plurality over De Prent; Hon. Charles Kritchkoff of the assessor's office of Capt. Boucher. Under the influence of the Graham appeal to white voters to elect Kuehne, the white Democrat, most all the white captains did splenic well, and some of them did extra well, as the figures of the precincts will show. The Chicago Defender comes in for its share of the glory, for it stuck to Maj. Jackson throughout the campaign. The credit of the Jackson victory is due to the co-operation of the right thinking men and women of both men in the Republican party, led by the leaders who believe in the progress Precinct.

Rowan of Atlanta, who is commander of One Hundred and Third Company of the One Hundred and Third Brigade, National Army, at Camp Pike, Ark., is under arrest at that camp awaiting trial by court-martial for one hundred and eight orders. The incident to the arrest of Captain Rowan are sensational, in that he is perhaps the first company commander in America who has drawn the color line in what he declared to be the morale of his own men, and the outcome of the trial will be watched closely by army men throughout the country. B. B.

He declared further that the men and Negroes should shame, and that if the order was held as issued his men would stand retreat in the company streets. Thereupon, Colonel Shaw ordered the arrest of the Atlanta commander and placed the first man in command of the company. This case will probably develop into a national issue on the question of white and soldiers of the Race in some formation in the training camps.

In other words, if the violence to a citizen or to property happens within the territorial limits of the city, it is liable to the county; meant that the county is only liable when the damage to person or property happens outside the corporate limits of the city? If in this connection, the county or city were either city or county were used, there would be no doubt about whether one would sue the county or city. It is also well to remember that there is no claim against Illinois that is not within a county. "This act is taken from a similar statute in the state of Ohio. The Ohio county has been passed on the county and the county alone. The Illinois statute attempts to go further and in doing so makes this part of the law more difficult. The Supreme Court of Illinois, it becomes a mere matter of opinion as to what conflation has been passed on by the Supreme Court of Illinois. "Section 5 limits the right of recovery to three classes: First, surviving spouse (husband or wife); second, literal heirs (such as father and mother); third, dependents upon any person who should be lynched. The limitation of right of recovery to these three classes will have the effect of great injustice in the East St. Louis riot, relatives in the East St. Louis riot, derer this section a brother cannot recover for a sister, nor a sister for a brother, because they are not lineal heirs; they are collateral heirs; nor are lineal heirs; they are not lineal heirs; they are not lineal heirs; unless that father or mother was dependent upon the child for support. It will doffless occur dependent upon their parents and not parents upon children. Yet, unless the survivor of such person losing their life by lynching was dependent, this not gives no right of recovery. The survivor of such person losing their life is clear is that part which provides for the removal from office of a sheriff of a county where a prisoner is lynched while under his custody and this section has been construed of which is held to be constitutional. "This law should be amended and that part of Section 1 relative to correctional powers changed so that it should be amended and that part of Section 4 should be changed and the doubt removed as to liability. The classifications mentioned in Section 5 should be broadened and whether the cause of action lies against the city or county eliminated. "From the reading of these sections one gets the impression that it was intended to prevent the possibility of the lynching of persons charged with crime by providing a penalty for such act by removal from office of the officer who is charged by the custody of such person and for his possession of person. To this extent the law is beneficial, but where the author attempts to go further and provide for compensation the doubt and ambiguities are resolved from this law are as yet matters for judicial construction, and until then it will not be known whether Illinois has an act to suppress mob violence" which protection to all persons who suffer as a result of mob violence."

THE AMERICAN WOODMEN The Greatest Fraternal Society in the World, Making Rapid Strides in the States of Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey The American Woodmen was incorporated in April, 1901, at Denver, Colo., and in seventeen years of successful work, they have added more than two hundred thousand members to the section of its more than forty thousand members, who carry certificates ranging from one hundred up to two thousand dollars. Its local camps are paying $100,000 in dollars per week. The great extent of the Negro to the North brought an army of ten thousand Woodmen, therefore it became necessary for the support of the Army to safeguard the men to safeguard the interest of its members who had moved to the great Northern cities, and arrangements were readily made with the insurance companies, giving the society authority to transact a fraternal insurance business. It is wonderful to note the progress that this great society has made during the operation, and especially in the cities of Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louis. The writer is also pleased to announce that the American Woodmen has set aside a fund of five thousand dollars for the purpose of keeping up the premium on the policies of her brother Woodmen who have entered the trenches in France, as well as those who are yet unaccounted, as well as those their country "Somewhere in France."

Jones was on the leg, while trying to The first thought in Christian fellowship is Truth. One cannot carrently seek Christian fellowship unless he or she possesses a truthful heart. The second thought is Christian. The word Christian is the life and the life of Christ was a life of love and service. His love was true and to His service there was no end. The third thought is Fellowship. Christian with the poorest of them and the richest of them. Whether they were Jews or Gentiles; whether they were Methodists or Baptists; whether they were Catholics or Presbyterians. He followed them before he went away. He said unto us little children: "Love me one another." He did not say anything about denominations, Notwithstanding God has suffered all denominations to spring into existence, was not purpose to have them so deeply divided into theples of Christian fellowship. But on the contrary, He has commanded us in the 2nd Chapter of Peter to lay aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envises and all evil speaking, if so he have tasted that the Lord is gracious. You will further note that God is no respecter of denomination, when he said: "Whoever will let Him come in your life will be welcome." You will note that most all churches and denominations have rules very different. The Methodist churches have become ecumenical and all denominations to love their love communion in spirit, but not in heart, for if one member should leave a Methodist church and join another church, he will be treated with much contempt, which shows that the true Christian fellowship is far away from the hearts of the Methodist denominations. Baptists have a rule to admit to their true Christian fellowship and communion all those who are of the same faith in order which they have faithed selflessly to mean Baptist members. But the Savior would have all of his followers to know that those words, the same faith in order, means all of us to die and that his Blood has washed away their sins. That is what God would have all of his followers understand by those words, for there is but one way to die and that His Blood has washed away their churches of God awake from their slumberers and begin to practice the true principles of love and will continue to withhold many blessings which He has in store for us. I would recommend that if it is the rules of our different churches which we from God and claim which keeps us from God and claim which keeps us from fellowship, then lay the rules aside and take up the cross of Christ in their stead and start out afresh and get this true love, which will cause us to love with a pure heart and with a pure mind. the principle for which all churches of God stands is loyalty to Christ. But the church that govern the most of the churches of God stands is the rules of Christ, and I repeat that when we discover this fact, then we ought to cast the rules aside just for Christ's sake and grasp the true Christian spirit of Christ, which will call all hate and all envy. Then we will come into possession of true Christian fellowship for we must get together in as well start now before we might just as well start now before we would or before we hear the Voice of God saying "Too Late." The ministers of necessity must grasp a broader and more comprehensive view of Christ and then after getting it, teach it to the people. There is, however, a multitude of ministers who do know the faith, but they have not the faith, neither have their religious convictions to teach it to the people, for fear either of hurting some one's feelings or having their pay cut short. This is the sin of omission of the ministers as speaks of, and is unmishable by death. Let all the churches upon God's earth get together upon the principles our foundation is true love and fellowship. Let all denominations stop censure one another, but rather encourage each and every person who belongs to some demeanorational honor and principles stand for the new birth and regeneration, remembering that Christ said that He has sheep that is not of all churches, but implied the view of all churches in His name and the sheep are all his members whom he delights to honor because they are laborers in one of his vineyards. Now, in conclusion, let me ask all editors of newspapers to please copy this. In doing so you may help some of us to understand a new thought and a broader conception of God's true Love and Fellowship. S. M. HARRIS. 2153 B. State St., Chicago, IL.

Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to sock fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

CHICAGO PAGE SIX Good Bills at All of the Vaudeville Houses "You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes." A widely diversified bill is playing at the Grand the first half of the present week; it starts right off with a chassy novelty, introducing the well known favorite, Kenny Walters. It begins. His Brown has just returned from an extensive tour of the east, where she played the principal Rie theater with more than ordinary success. Her act consists of some clever character work in both prose and song, and it involves a dramatic climax which Tony Langston Tony Langston gives the talented young lady a fine chance to show her fine training and natural ability. Fuller & Vanse, who follow, have a good singing, dancing and curtain art skills. Please. Baty Hall & Co. introduce a singing - comediano and a quartette of clever youngsters, two of each sex, who are full of vigor, vim and vitality, so to speak.

The last half last week held the Griffin Sisters & Chenault over, as they being presented with fine effect. Other acts were DeBerry Sisters, with clever sleight-of-hand, Johnson & Godfrey, two of our boys with a cleverly arranged bunch of songs and laughable view, one of the best of the "big" acts here, and Everly Sisters, strap stars The Avenue The bill the last half here was a fine one; among the acts shown were Jack Stack, an illustrated balladist of more than passing merit; DeVoy & Dayton, a singing, talking and dancing act in which a concertina was used well by the lady end of the team; Mao Sylvia & Co., the next girl juvenile with a concertina; and Hayataka Bros. Jaws, with a fine routine. The feature was Wm. Schilling & Co., in their new offering, "The Drudge."

His support is the best seen with him since he was a child, and surpasses the work done in his Hawaiian sketch there is no comparison. Christy & Bennett, one of the best talking teams in the business, is acceded the headline honors here the first half of this week. They have one of the most entertaining lines of character here in many a day, and the act, aside from an absence of singles, is right up to the work Moss & Pinsky, who is the head of Hugh Shaw, which act was first on, introduced a couple of accomplished lady singers and banjoists who pleased. They were followed by Gertie Daffitt, an old favorite, who has a style of putting a song over all her own. A Military Mix-up, in two scenes, with a surprise finish to an interesting climax, held the middle in swell style, and the was completed by Jolee Sisters, who shot a single singing, while rifle shooting, a whole lot of slack-wire work and a heap of shapely posing. It was a fine bill, and well balanced throughout. The team of Jones & Jones, just in back, are here, the first half of the week. The Monogram A crackerjack line-up opened for the week here on Monday night to big attendance. Billy Nichols, the old-time favorite, with his great mimic and limitation novelty, had the house by ear and the couch by arm to mitt laughing applause. He was the only single on the bill. Two teams, one which has been seen here a short time ago and the Three Red Hots, all held their own. Taylor Sisters, versatile and entertaining, presented a set of unusual. Edwards & Edwards, the male member of which reminded those present of the late lamented String-Beans, have a cloverly arranged line of stuff; the lady is as clever as her comedy partner who corks, and the act went on for hours. The Three consist of Hots lived right up to the reputation which preceded them here, and presented a lot of stuff both new and out of the ordinary. The Three consist of Florence Sedgewick, a clever young lady, and the popular boys, Seymour and whom have been seen here in the past in different acts. The bill holds until Sunday night.

He is a member of the American secret service, disguised as a German officer. He meets the woman in the case and becomes a member of the state of the general who is in love with her. The American woman and the American spy fall deeply in love. It is the first great emotion that the woman has had and she determines to live true to it. She determines to instigate. In trying to aid the young spy, she some valuable papers that the general has, she is discovered in what appears to be a compromising position, the man she loves denounces her and they are separated. The man that moves to the battlefield, where the spy is discovered and the woman, who by threats has been made to accompany them to a chateau near the fireline, offers to give the general herself if he will release the man she loves. The American is taken to No Man's Land, the execution room, where he will be shot before reaching the allied lines. He, however, escapes, joins the American army, and returns at the head of an attacking party and breaks into the chateau. The woman is just about to shoot herself in the presence of the spy, thus make good her promise to deliver. The Americans defeat the Germans and the lovers fall into each other's arms.

COURT FIGHT ON ANTI- GABADEL LAW IS PLANNED Owners of cabarets are preparing to fight the new ordinance abolishing such pieces of amusement. They will be permitted to dance, and the ordinance permits the ordinance to become a law, according to Alexander Welss, recently elected president of the Cafe Owners. A meeting of the Restaurant Keeper's association will be held this afternoon at Vogelsang's restaurant, at which will be determined the question of whether the ordinance will be applied to the cafe men's organization, and the affiliation of the united organization with the Hotel Men's association. Of the course to be pursued regarding the ordinance will also come up for discussion. We contend that the ordinance is unconstitutional, and we rely upon the decision of the Supreme court, given last summer, upholding the right of restaurants to have dancing, said Mr. Welss. The ordinance is a foolish piece of legislation. "My suggestion is for the police to stop up promptly every cafe which has objective shows or objectifiable dancing.

Bubbling Drinking Fountains It is well understood by health officers and trained sanitarians that, unaware of the so-called and unrealized fountains are unclean, dangerous and a source through which various forms of communicable diseases are spread. Some months ago an investigation was made for the purpose of determining the sanitary conditions and efficacy of the fountains in and around the University of Minnesota. The investigation, of course, covered a study of the mechanical features of various types and makes of fountains, the lips of those using them, and also bacteriological examinations of the water supplied to and discharged from the fountains. I assume that the water supply as delivered to the fountain is pure and safe, the important factors to be considered are the fountains themselves, the structures that frequent use by all classes and conditions of people tends to render them possible sources of infection other than as agencies of prevention. In the course of the experiments mentioned, 77 drinking fountains were examined, including in different types of water, 100 drinking fountains with flow and 35 per cent intermittent, controlled by the user. The water in all was discharged vertically to meet the flow of the water, all of the fifteen types mentioned were subject to contamination by users, either directly by the exposed parts coming in contact with the lips or by water failing on to the jet or the surrounding parts. It was also found that in those types having a closed receptacle around the point of discharge, which retain a part of the water, the lips of users on to the jet or the surrounding parts that color matter added did not disappear for long periods of time. Swabs rubbed over those parts of the fountains expose the lips of users on to the jet, showed the presence of streptococci in 80 per cent of the samples taken. And as these organisms were not found in the water supplied the fountains only reasonable assumption that they came from the mouths of the users. With the obtaining of these results, which, of course, are not given in defense, it was easy to determine the fact that fainting is irresponsible for the defective working of the devices examined. And the chief defect noted was the vertical discharge of the water from the fountain, the fact that it was responsible for the sommer to place the mouth directly over the point of discharge; and that most persons using the fountains drank with their lips touching the exposed parts, and the current in cases where the flow was weak and low, and true of the average user at all times and under all conditions. Experiments were also made with types of fountains so designed as to remedy the defects noted. It was found that with a fountain with open drainage, around the delivery nozzle and the mouth, the current could drink without coming in contact with the point of discharge and which prevented the water falling back from the mouth on to parts of the fountain, and the discharge, rendered it practically safe. Another device suggested was the installation of a shield surrounding the nozzle in such a way as to prevent the contact. Such protection may be given rounding the nozzle with a pipe larger and higher, or by the use of a shield which will direct the stream at an angle so that the user cannot touch the device. These devices may be applied to any of the bubbling fountains now in use and at trifling expense. And as the experiments cited indicate improperly constructed or guarded fountains may be a factor in the transmission of ceramic communications, steps should be taken at once to make those now in use safe and sanitary.

Avendorph has a boy, even though he is not in high school, ought to have seen the parade of the high school boys Tuesday afternight, which was a demonstration of the farm, which was a demonstration of the school boys can do toward maintaining the farm products during the war. I am sure it would have proven an advantage for thought as to the boy's future welfare. I stood and watched the parade from start to finish and made a note of the number of our boys in line, and sadly so, at so small a number. Do we as a Race realize what these demonstrations mean, and in them, as in everything else, we ought to be largely aware of the proper spirit or interest in our children's school work? Do we show the proper interest in the school in our child's mind is placed in it? It owes to the child, and in so doing the teacher as well the child is benefited. If through any encouragement on the part of the father or mother education, you are committing an irreparable mistake, and unfortunately at the expense of your child it owes to the child, and in so doing the mother to encourage every black boy to get at least a high school education, and if possible take up something that willify him for whatever opportunity he have heard it often said since the war begun that the black man would come into his own and the black boys would have an opportunity that they never had. Then you but if you are not prepared, what benefit will the opportunity be? KNITTING Women in war time, what are you doing to help? Just as urgent as the call to help, the call has gone out for "knitters" to relieve the strain of this great situation. Our army's greatest need now demands comforts.

LOUISA JONES PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY Early Sunday morning, Mrs. Louisa Jones, active member of Borean Baptist Church and prominent member of the Manasses and Gambrinus Frauen Kevin Societies, died at her residence, a short illness at avenue, following a short illness of the same age, who survive by three children; Allie, who figures in social and war relief work at Camp Grant; Philip A. J., business manager of the Chicago Defender, who was a member of the Gebhardt. Funeral services were held at the Borean Baptist Church, 52d and Dearborn street, Wednesday morning, her fraternal orders turning out enmesse, and Rev Cary, assisted by Rev. Death Comes as a Shock The news of Mrs. Jones' sudden demise to her many friends. For fully four years, her M. MRS. LOUISA JONES fore the end came she lay in an unconscious state, and at 3 o'clock she died this condition, with her three children, who mourning seems to have been thrown over the neighborhood, for its termed "Good Fairy", whose familiar form is now bent on some errand of help to the needy, has become a fitting shadow. Came to America in 1885 Mrs. Jones was born in Alsace-Lorraine, Switzerland, in 1887, just three years before the memorable Franco-issuer Desiré desired a new work because a zoologist in 1886 when the skyline of New York harbor first showed itself, and she made hernent into the United States a loss of 18 years. She became the bride of Philip S. Jones, interned and trained nurse at a local hospital, and by this marriage three children were born. About 1904 Mr. Jones was stricken with an illness which he realized was fatal, and wishing to leave his family, he gave his wife a little store at 2734 Cottage Grove avenue. Shortly afterward, he succumbed. The shock of his death was felt by his family, and Jones, as she suffered with frequent relapses, one of which proved fatal. That old love shattered by grief that he had suffered to reside at 6629 Lafayette avenue. She often remarked, "I only live for my children." This heartfelt assertion was symbolized by her untiring efforts, which it helped her to give her children an education. Funeral Impressive Wednesday morning at the Borean Baptist church, 62d and Dearborn streets, the last rites and funeral ceremonies were held. Her body resting in the church was surrounded by many flowers and floral wreaths from her many friends, a symbol of the magnitude of her sterling personality which won her many associates. The church is a local church, assisted by Rev. Swanson of the Maywood Baptist church, Maywood, Ill., preached an impressive and pathetic eulogy, in harmony with George R. Garner, Jr., whose interpretation of "O Dry Those Tears," was superb and appealing, along with that of Mme. M. M. C. Millas. The fragrance of Gambrinus Frunen Verein, turned out a fitting assemblage to do honor to the deceased. Ortor and Orcella Jackson, J. Christy, Archie Morgan, R. Black and the rest acted as palebearers. Interment was in wooden cemetery in the family lot.

CHEERING UP SOLDIERS By Mrs. Bertha Mosely-Lewis Sunday I heard a speaker make a plea for more letters to soldiers at the various cantonments. I was surprised that even as late as this the plea was being made—seemingly had to be made. Of course, I immediately wondered why. All girls are supposedly susceptible to the lure of a uniform. I saw most of the soldiers being made much of. One presumed that they were receiving an overflow of letters. There are some few of us who are without relatives in the encampments who take it upon ourselves to write the soldiers promiscuously. But I fear that many of those girls who have those near and dear to them amongst our soldier friends confine their writing to these relatives. Boys are always glad to hear from home folks, and boys always expect to hear from home folks no matter where they may be, or what the cause of their absence. And so I think that when one wishes to impress a soldier boy with an appreciation of the service he is rendering his countrymen it is most effective to write a bona fide stranger. And this is just what some girls shrink from doing. They fear a misinterpretation of their intensions. They may be written that they may not coincide with their ideals of a handsome soldier hero. All of these fears and hesitancies are correct, proper, and person in the everyday routine of life. But war is not the only military schedule of living. In doing one's bit the extraordinary is the thing of merit. We put aside frivolity to spend hours knitting and making bag bags. We study food bulletins religiously. Our entire routine changes. Therefore it seems foolish to hold to a few selfish scruples concerning the recipients of a few lines of correspondence. This thing to do to include all in your campaign of cheer. The stranger the soldier is to you the more noteworthy is your effort. All girls ought to rally to the idea of a soldier who encourages and friendly letters to the men in training for a big war service.

GARDEN FOR FAMILY OF FOUR The following are the approximate quantities of seed that should be purchased for a garden which is to supply vegetables for successive plantings without the season for a family of four: ; Beans, snap-1 to 2 quarts. Beans, puls, lima-1 pint. Beans, puls, lima-1 pint. Beet-4 ounces. Cabbage (early)-1 packet. Cabbage (late)-½ ounce. Carrot-1 ounce. Candiflower-1 packet. Celery-1 packet. Corn, sweet-1 to 2 pints. Cucumber-1 ounce. Eggplant-1 packet. Nutrient or Swiss chard-2 ounces. Lettuce-½ ounce. Muskelton-1 ounce. Onion set-4 to 6 quarts. Peas-1 to 2 quarts. Parsnips-½ ounce. Peas, garden-2 to 4 quarts. Radish-1 ounce. Salixify-1 ounce. Salixify-1 pound in spring and ¼ pound in fall. Squash (summer)—1 ounce Squash (hubbard)—1/2 ounce Tomatoes (early)—1 packet Tomatoes (fine)—1 ounce Turnips—2 to 3 ounces Watermelon—2 ounces If a gardener should desire to plant all of the vegetables mentioned, it is calculated by garden specialists of the garden structure that enough space can be provided for them in one-fourth of an acre. However, it is advised that the gardener, unless he has had one or more years experience, center his efforts on important vegetables. For most of the vegetables listed the plantings may consist of the entire quantities mentioned. Relatively small quantities of cauliflower, eggplant and parsley should be sufficient for the supply of string beans, bush Linn beans, sweet corn, lettuce, peas and radishes should not be planted at one time, but successive plantings two or three weeks apart may be so that a fresh supply of the vegetables may be had throughout the season. Of early Irish potatoes one peek to one-half bushel will be required, and of late potatoes one-half bushel to one-half bushel may be obtained in amount of ground available for this purpose. If abundant space is available it may be well to grow enough Irish potatoes to last throughout the winter. Household Ruth Celebrate Anniversary The H. H. R. 153, G. U. O., celebrated its 33rd anniversary at Odd Fellows Hall last Wednesday evening. Past and present officers from many disbanding remoirs. Mrs. Nora F. Taylor was mistress of ceremonies. Mrs. Nettie G.

"In this sense means the average citizen of the United States the average citizen of the ordinary circumstances, under ordinary conditions. If this means the white man where does the Negro enter in this question? Since there are ordinary and average citizens among the Negroes, how do the same among the Negroes. Now the Negro know the suffering and endurance of the Race. As far as what the Negro owes his country is concerned, the Negro has no flag that he has won by his own hand. Negro living in the United States claims the United States as his country. But a citizen of any country is and protected both within and without the Negroes, aspected by his fellow countrymen. What protection does the United States offer for the American Negro? For twenty-five years he has let the process pass by, until the systematic killing him in America is the crying disgrace. The Negro has wrongs, deep and bitter ones. But in the midst of these there are exceptions, there are some circumstances, there is much to be learned, there is to be said; and yet for the great mass of 10,000,000 Americans of Negro descent the same complaints are true. How much of a "friend" are the white men to be to be a "friend" to him. He believes it to be little less of conceiving anything for him except perhaps total and immediate annihilation. It is also the "friends" believe the fact that his lynched, and occasionally should be. Even if more than 2,000 Negroes have been publicly lynched, burned or murdered, the life of them twenty-eight years, their "friends" think they might not disturb the peace by protesting against it. To be a Negro in a day like this denounce, patience that can wait in utter despair, defends forgiveness for the blows he receives from the day of his birth until the day he dies. It demands a strange degree, it serves a flag which emphasizes his freedom, but not a star of it his own. To "sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men," he was rightly said by one author. This man was a lawyer. An American Negro of today. He keeps silent. He is told not to be self-conscious, to make the truth appear false in order to make come true, not to make the people fugely by telling the mplain, ugly facts. How long will the Negro be denied education—education equal to that of the whites? How long are they to be forced out of theaters and other public places? How long are they to be publicly labeled like dogs when they travel? How long will it be before they get away from the lowest wage scale and be given decent homes for the rent we pay? When will "our" country cease to disfranchise them? Cease to tax them without representation? Country protect the Negro women by law and custom such that the white man will be bound to respect? When will "our" country grant them justice in the courts and cease allowing lynching to stand up for a Race that has helped to make and preserve this a nation? What race has progressed as, remarkably as the Negro, and, too, in the face so much opposition? It has had no protest, on protests and opposition which no other race has had to endure. Fifty years from slavery finds the lines of oppression, segregation and restriction dighter tighter and tighter the helpless Negro. The only reason the Negro has felt so for this superior feeling is his color. God has stated in the Bible, "We have created man in our own image and likeness." Therefore in every man there must be some likeness to God. We have created man in our own image or any more the likeness of God than any other man? There must be some standard whereby he must be measured. If a man possess wealth, can he be called the image and likeness of God? The human honor the criterion whereby the God's image? Or can color be applied as a test? If it can, why is not the redskin the real image? Or the yellow skin, or the brown skin? Or the sweeping statement to be made that the God is superior because he is white? Now, the conclusion is reached that color is of no importance in this creature, and that it is the occasion of his color. He is acceptable threshold of God, regardless of race, creed or color. Therefore let man be judged according to his intelligence and his faith. The physical standpoint there are no differences between the white man and the Negro. They share all the same intelligence, endowed with intelligence, their civilization, same, they both serve the same flag and exhibit a patriotism common to both. Now, the question again arises "Why are they not treated alike?" The Negro has shed as much blood in proportion as the white man to preserve this nation. They have given as much loyalty to this country as they have to monarchy. And they are over ready at moment call defend this country. What has this country given them in return? What do they owe their country? They owe it as much as I, an American Negro citizen, in return for their loyalty to monarchy, their loyalty and their pride, segregation, humiliation, disfranchisement, prejudice and taxation without full representation. Savannah, Ga., April 5—Wade Jones, age 29, was shot and instantly killed by Josephine Mumford as he was standing in the door of his house preparatory to the evidence given at the trial. Appears from the court that the woman was shooting at Joe Simmons, who dodged behind a post as the woman fired. The woman sat doing the shooting, but said that she did not hit Jones. The man who was killed was only a slight acquaintance of hers. It seems that Simmons had promised the night before to give the Mumford to do so she might shoot him. Simmons failed to live up to his word, and the woman, holding him to his word, took a shot at him. CHILD BURNED BALMORE, Md., April 5—Lillian Fooks, age 5, Md. N. Stricker street, was badly burned Wednesday morning, March 27, when her dress caught fire at the Maryland General hospital in expected to live.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Defender Fashion Hints S Widow and Daughters Brutally Beaten by Whites Turnhill, Miss., April 5.—Mrs. Luvenie Dangerfield, widow of the late Peter Dangerfield, and her daughter Bertha, 17, Lucille, age 15, and Isa, age 14, of the house where she hoods who envolved their progress Dangerfield and her son, Walter, and his wife, Gertrude, rented a plantation of 180 acres, upon which they have 60 acres, 5 miles, 6 horses and a fine heirloom. Gertrude incurred the wrath of Morris Ogden and White Jones (white), who are neighboring farmers, to such an extent that they decided to wipe the Dangerfields from the Mississippi region. They also engaged in heavy instruments and encouraged by moonshine liquor, the Ogden-Jones gang pounced upon the Dangerfields and whipped them unmercifully. Bertha was cut in the head with the butt end of a knife dragged from the house, Lucille was knotted in her hair, placed his foot upon her neck while the rest of the gang pillaged the house for valuables. Neighbors were aroused by the screams but were held at bay with guns and pistols. Mrs. Dangerfield, bidentally bent over the head with sticks. The Ogden-Jones Klu Klux accused the Dangerfields of suing a plow. He asked the Dangerfields to bring the assaults to justice. The Dangerfields in this part of the delta is unknown when a white man has a grievance. An exodus has been planned in this section in order that the Race may escape the slave rule of the white farmers. **DO READ or not to read, that is the question.** You must come to the Chicago Defender for more Race newspapers and Race books from the soldiers in the cantonments and from "over seas." The soldiers must not fall on deaf ears. Our boys should know what's going on "back home." The only real way they can know is to read our own books, and to peruse sending in subscriptions to the Chicago Defender and asking that the paper be sent regularly to some soldier. It may be some one whom they know, but they don't know that names be supplied. This is always done promptly, and the recipient requested to write the donor a letter of appreciation, and to send their subscriptions will you send in for the soldier boys? There are in the United States army now nearly 150,000 Race soldiers, in up into four regiments of regulars, more than three regiments of national guard, several regiments of stevedores, and so on. We have 80 commissioned officers, graduates of the famous Des Moines training school. These officers are captains, first and second lieutenants and are the pick of the preferred stock" of patriotic method. Let us help the boys to read. How many?

FRUIT OF FIGHTING The time has come when women must do the work of men, according to efficiency experts, and that means water and various opportunities for us. Now, places of employment that have heretofore been closed to us, will be open, and perchance it will be a bitter challenge. We must give us employment, so let us conduct ourselves in such a manner that our very actions will sugarcane the pill and make it pleasant to take. We must be willing and willing workers, but should be courteous and polite at any and all times, and if we have a temper, leave it at home and eventually we will realize that we are much better off without it. It is very much to be deplored that we are so much to be expected to allow them to enter upon their duties, to see if they have conceded weapons upon them, for they have water and various opportunities for us. An incident that grieves me very much to relate to was the occasion of a woman tearing down, instead of building up, the good that had been accumulated in her life, and the forewoman (who had taken the place of the white foreman) remonstrated with them, whereupon one of the combatants knocked her down, declaring, at the same time, that she would not allow a n... to boss her. The result of this was that white women were then* put in the places that had been given to our women only two years ago. Petty jealousy and ignorance to upset a large industry like that is much to be regretted. We should be proud of any advance one of us makes, for there is always a need to consign what much just as much as the other fellow. I read of a fourth grade man when asked at camp what consignment he would like, replied: "If it is all the blood," and that is the way the wind blows—they all want to be the colonel. Even the beasts of the field recognize the fact that they must have a leader, and must we be so dense that intelligence will act with more intelligence than we? Instead of fighting each other, appreciate the one who has forged ahead, and courtesy, to reach the highest point, can be given him, and learn to know when you help him you help yourself. Uncle Sam knows our worth, he knows our strength, he to look for a German spy among us, and since he knows that much let us teach him to know more, to know that there are men and women from our country to compete with the best that he can produce. Opportunity knocks once at every man's door, so he ready to join in the fight, for only in unity can we have success.

This popular resort was filled to overflowing with members and friends and the many after dinner speeches, which were a high order, gave evidence that the club is to take a prominent part in the civic life of the city. Hon. William Field was chosen as the installing of a new building. He was the first member, then the work showed in his excellent conduct of this part of the entertainment. Among the officers installed were: Attorney Crittenden Clark, Chairman of the City Council, and Charles Mills, treasurer. Among those who contributed with speeches were Attorney Crittenden Clark and R. N. Owens, Charles Turpin, Dr. James Henry Phillips and Hon. Wm. Fields. The public, who did not have the equivalent cafe, the usual standard of this emblem cafe. • The movement in the Fourth constitutional district to elect a Race justice of the peace and canvass the people of the city was valuable support from the "Boosters." They have shown their worth in previous endeavors and have always gone over the top. The campaign for these events has been a success in this时代. • The "Boosters" are able to add their strength to the effort without injuring the non-political purposes of the organization. • There are three probable candidates for the election. • The campaign for the Booster Washington, who once held the office; John Edwards, former deputy under Turpin, and James Harrison, an undertaker; and James H. H. H. of the city's candidate for justice of the peace. • The person of Homer G. Phillips, a lawyer. It is evident more than one candidate for either place will defeat the other. • The campaign is absolutely necessary that any organization effort should dictate who can and who shall not aspire to the extent of imperiling the chance of a race man. • The campaign is intended to raise much urging on the public of his friends. • Joe Bell, who lives in the 4200 block on Cote Brillant Avenue and works in the quartermaster's department, is the most active member of the race, and has lost a close truck of a small car to his pocket at Easton Avenue and Sarah Street, though he recovered his wallet.

Now is the time for a long pull, a s NEWS FROM THE FRONT, just at present, is anything but joyous. The Huns have been shelling Paris from a distance of seventy-two miles, and, according to reports, have taken 45,000 prisoners, 600 guns, and gained some valuable territory. They are making a desperate effort to carry out their plan of being in Paris before summer. The loss of life has been enormous, but it is safe to say the Germans paid the heavier price for their temporary success, for the British, French and American troops constantly poured a deadly stream of fire right into their ranks, mowing them down by the thousands. The call to the United States is for more men, more guns, more aircraft, more munitions, more foodstuffs—more everything, and the "Hurry up!" label is tacked on every call. Only quick, united action will save the day. What has been the policy of Washington officials concerns us not so much as what is their policy right now and for the future. No country boasts of more loyal citizens than are we, yet there seems lacking that "do or die" spirit—that enthusiasm without which no real success is ever attained. The fight, measured by miles, is some distance away; measured by things more vital, it is right at our doors. The world is small after all. What affects one nation affects all nations. Before Americans can put up a united front to the enemy there must be some cementing done at home. A country that preaches democracy and practices something else doesn't inspire the confidence of other countries. A melting pot truly for all races save one, and when the products of the melting pot are poured on the ground they are found to be, after all, only an alloy—the pure metal never entered the vessel. In Russia, Ireland and many other countries the under dogs have "rocked the boat," and though they, with the rest, received a good ducking, the experience wasn't altogether unpleasant, for in the scramble to get back into the boat safely again, it was found necessary for all to pull together. We have yet our first time to rebel against our government; the first time to play the part of traitors; the first time to attempt to adjust things by the use of bombs; the first time to refuse to fight for the country we call home. We have held firmly to the belief that right must sooner or later prevail, so we have not been militant. We refuse to "rock the boat"—on the contrary, we are steadfast in our purpose to show the kaiser and his crew of murderers that here is one nation—in this particular instance at least—that is going to stand together to the finish, and that can't be bluffed or fooled any more—a nation that knows no such word as "fail." Being a peace-loving people, it has taken us a little longer to get our bearings, but when once we have them, woe be unto those who cross our path! Our allies are calling for men, men and more men, and we must respond to that call. If liberty is to live, if democracy is to thrive, it must be by the aid of the whole nation. Now is the time for a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together. Cabarets OUNCIL ORDER the very heart of full-fledged May 1.

After that date all forms of entertainment, dancing, singing and vaudeville acts are tabooed; orchestra music is the only thing permitted. Only two members of the council voted against this measure, which is sufficient evidence that the divorce of liquor from entertainment meets with general approval. Cabarets have started more young men and women on the downward path than any other agency. One must needs have a strong mind to slip of the so-called sweets and turn away to more unplifting things. No right-minded person deliberately sets out to climb down the ladder of fame and fortune; in the exuberance of youth the topmost rung is within reach whenever they choose to grasp it. The theory that fond parents have that "boys will be boys" and they must be given an opportunity to show their wild oats is one that in many instances has acted like a boomerang and fired many parents' hearts with sorrow and made their hair prematurely gray. Society does not accord the girl the same privileges it accords the boy. When she takes them she pays double the cost; and where lies the blame? If, knowing these pitfalls exist, they are permitted to live and lure other innocents into the wrong path, again it is asked, where lies the blame? An investigation has brought to light that the number of women and girls in 243 back rooms of California saloons for each twenty-four hours averaged 14,602. Many of these women drift from there to restaurants, chop suey reefer shops, disreputable hotels connected with the various saloons, and drink again in the restaurant. MANA A MAJORITY OF THE WOMEN DRINKING IN THESE COMPARATIVE GIRLS INVESTIGATED WERE WORKING GIRLS, OR GIRLS OF LEISURS AND YOUNG GIRLS AT THAT. If figures were at hand for all such places working in Chicago they would be still more startling. The movement to stamp out these places started none too soon and it is to be hoped that national prohibition will soon become a reality. Let us destroy the evil by striking at its root.

If the parties concerned were white the case would go through the usual channels, punishment would be meted out and the incident would end there. Not so in our case. An unfriendly press gives the matter the fullest publicity, adding enough color to reflect on the whole Race and injecting that "I told you so" flavor so that he who reads between the lines is impressed with the idea of a "fearless man," like "a "d搭er" for law and order" and our "innate brutal instiens." In the eyes of the world, the behoves us to guard zealously our every act. In the eyes of the world, we have no doubt, and, in the face of good acts can he lost sight of in the hue and cry made over the bad. It is forgotten that we are but human, and liable to err the same as others. If we conded and winked at lawlessness, the same as the other fellow sometimes does, we would have many and oft-repeated examples of "lynched by members of an unknown mob of the best citizens," the same as the familiar verbs "fell" and "fell" in the same way as "fell" and "fell" in the same way as "fell" and "fell." But we want the world to know that we are law-abiding citizens—that we do not harbor, protect or sympathize with criminals, white or black. We ask not clemency, but a fair and impartial trial by a jury of peers. Why Not White Loafers. Too? THE N. C. OBSERVER says: "Negro enlisted soldiers are to be gathered up shortly and sent to training camps in the North. It is a pity the government cannot take its draganet and clear the cities and towns of the loafing Negroes, to the relief of the working class that has been drafted. An operation of that sort would rid the towns of an undesirable class and at the same time the name of "huck" can there be found in agricultural communities. Where in the name of "huck" can there be found a black man? Where in the Southland? Though they be as poor as Job's turkey, they are likely to get a black man to make every move for them. We agree with this North Carolina editor that loafers should be sent to war, but let's not classify them. THERE is a noticeable hesitation this year in believing those "first robin" stories. Suburbanites are trying to forget the hard winter just passed. WAR CANNOT entirely cool down politics. Proofs of this fact were discernible during the recent election campaign. CHICAGO DEFENDER CHICAGO APRIL 6,1918 CARTOON BY THE LAST EDITION CARTOON BY THE LATE LANGSTON MITCHELL, REPUBLISHED BY REQUEST. OUR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STATUS "We yearn intensely for the day when the world will be safe for democracy; freed from caste, political discrimination, oppression of every sort and predjudice; when men everywhere shall enjoy the inalienable rights of life, liberty and happiness; with equal opportunities for education and labor, with free for all incentives for personal and racial development, with equal justice to all and malice towards none. We most respectfully urge that consistency deserve, we weave democracy, we shall practice democracy, unless every man in America has a free chance, America's plea for a world freedom under democracy shall, because of our inconsistency, be the occasion of America's countined humiliation."—Extract from resolutions adopted by the National Negro Business League. This old "low ground of sorrow" from center to circumference, was never more deeply saturated with human blood than it is today. The walls of men and women and children, crying freedom, crying for justice, crying for freedom, were never more heart piercing. The malled fist and iron heel of the kaiser have been relentless in their crazed desire to crush out freedom and dominate the world. These creatures of just and aggrandizement have no fury and anger, not even peaceful women and children, who need to ask the Heavenly Father for guidance and protection. No group of American people can understand this situation better than we do. The malled fist and iron heel of crazed, southerners have borne down just as mercilessly on our women and men, and these faces have been lifted to demand justice. Everywhere death, destruction and segregation are the products of the malled fist and iron heel kind. The Vardamans, Tillmans and Blesares are the kaisers of America, and just so long as that better voice of the nation is silent, just that long will be the "occasion of America's continued humiliation." There's no denying this fact, it is a prayer! The Honorable Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, the Honorable Newton D. Baker, gives a word of hope, in an address delivered recently at Hampton. Our distinguished personal representative speaks politically when he states that both the Baker and the President have the skill and the desire to deal justly by us, that if we are good enough to die for our country we are good enough to be permitted to live here in peace. But along comes the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, who has the unqualified failure, stress, and salth thus, up yonder in Maine. "I don't care a snap of my finger unless they are backed up by deeds. It's the way we shoot that counts, not the way we shout." Ouch! Now, this is no criticism against Assistant Secretary Scott, Secretary Baker, or the President, Baker. We are really and truly Show-Me-Missouri times. Why delay—longer? The present administration has had the most wonderful opportunity to make good ever given to a set of people conducting a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people." The opportunity is in danger. Not only we, but big men of the nation, patriotic and loyal, have stood about all the "southern domination" that they can, and live. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts cried out in agony last week: "I've stood it as long as I can," with emphasis on the "I." And Senator New of Indiana, and Senator Harding of Ohio, both held the ceremonial and patriotic senators of divers' sections and divers' parties said in a chorus, "Ma too." Real Statesmen Coming Now we stand a chance of seeing some real, regular and unadulterated statesmen developed. We stand a chance to see some true Americanism camouflage is being cut away, and the camouflage is appeared in the front ranks and saved the old "Ship of State" in every crisis, are appearing on deck. The rank and file of the people—all the people—are truly independent. Once, a time in June, long years ago, Leaves just stirring, butterflies kissing, We lingered there through dreamy hours; There by the ruined mill and lazy brook A day in paradise, and then—oh well, we walked apart. Long after—give me the map—here, where my finger Points, we met once more; under orient skies, Met, but still the ice of years remained; Bearing a queen's pride; knowing a queen's due, She swept in silence by. Once; once only, we met again—no word between; Her stately halls the tryst; A throng, hushed, slowly moving, Placed flowers at her head and feet. They have no more love for a hypocrite, will-o-the-wisp Republic than they have for the same type of Democrat. By the same token, the people—all the people—will support a real man at all times and in all places, regardless of his party affiliations. This will use more and more of a great many of our other instances could be named of unfailing support of Democrats, because they have proved to be men. If the firebrand southerners of the Democratic party, who obnoxiously to all decent, liberty loving people, push themselves to the fore, if they could be repudiated and eliminated, and if the President and Mr. Baker would strongly oppose those who think which are so bitterly inharmonious to the goals of our nation and the times, a division of race votes would be larger. Who Will Point the Way Where are they who will point the way to justice? We are looking for them. Where are the men who are possessed with the true spirit of the times? We wish to write their names of gold, so that all who run may read. "Now is the time for all GOOD men to come to the aid of their party." Where are the good men? Who are they? We wish the best. We want the BEST, the VERY BEST for the salvation and opportunity, and for our prosperity. WE ARE THINKING. Our day of ACTION is likewise at hand. Let us all pull together for the big goal. DIE MOCRACY as preached, as preached by the patrons of the hour, as being at all it means OPORTUNITY as being men in public office who will make our sentiment for equal and exact justice. We want economic opportunities, in every part of the work-a-day world, because we are an integral part of this great nation. We are one-tenth of the world, and we are one-tenth of the fighting forces; we want one-tenth of everything else that goes to make a complete, American, up-to-the-minute, in-the-midst-of-a-world-war, with the Germans - butterling - at - our - very difficult. WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER AND WE WILL GET SOMEWHERE. CANDIDATE FOR ALDERMAN CANDIDATE FOR ALDERMAN Dugout, Ill. April 5.—Robert Berkley, citizen here, has announced his candidate for alderman of the Second ward. [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. A Garland of Prayer By Eloise Bibb Thompson Amid the stress of daily life, its cares, successes and its strife. Today my only thought shall be, A zoologousness in loving Thee— The Elder flower, And to this chaplet I shall bind The energy of soul and mind, Thus hour by hour. hopes. Though oft the tempter haver near, In Thee, so faithful and so dear Shall be my hope. No virtue, Lord, is loved by Thee, More than a spilled Chastity— The tempter the warrior I'll weave my thought while I shall live Without a stain if Thou wilt give Thy grace and power. And I would have my garland bear The fragrant bloom of Mornness fair— The Lilac, wild Jane who My soul shall then receive from Thee A perfect peace, for I shall be Thy humble child. And thus each day shall be my care, To add another flower of prayer Until complete. When fairest are my flowers all, Then may my spirit hear Thy call, At Mercy's seat. Dr. J. E. Campbell Buried Kansas City, Mo., April 5.—Dr. Ernest McCampbell, one of the leading physicians and surgeons in this city, died several days ago of pneumonia. The funeral services were held from Allen and the Rev. William Thomas conduct the memorial. At time of his death he was in contact with the public schools and on the staff of the city hospital, and had built up a large practice. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. McCampbell, the father being the custodian of Western University, Grand High Priest of the Royal College. McCampbell was born in Huntsville, Mo., 1887, and came to this city some years later, attended Ward school and graduated from the High school in 1904. He afterwards attended the Washburn Medical College of Topeka, Kan., where he was with honors. He was married to Mia Joan Wallace, Columbia, S. C., and to them four children were born. trospection PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles THE PULLMAN PORTER— NERVOUS DISEASE The Pullman Palace Car Corporation regards its porter, not as a human being, or something having flesh and blood to be looked after, to be cared for as other human beings, but only as an equipment of one of its palace cars. The company argues that no sleeping car is complete without a porter; that the porter is part of the equipment of the car, just the same as the berth key to the berth or a blanket on a cold night, the same as any other bed- after, to be cared for as other human beings, but only as an equipment of one of its palace cars. The company argues that no sleeping car is complete without a porter; that the porter is at a risk of the equipment of the car, just the same as the berth key to the berth or a blanket on a cold night, the same as other bedding sticking, stick screen, or sticking box, or any of the necessaries for the comfort of the passengers. Now, if the porter is a part of the equipment of a sleeping car, the same as a crank shaft on an automobile, or one of the wheels, the salary of the porter should be raised, as the price of an all-weather sleeping cars, automobiles and all other equipment greatly advanced during the last three years. The porter, as a material equipment, should receive the benefit of advance in material and equipment. The trainman under the Adamson law have needed an advanced advance or raise in wages, with shorter and better hours. The Pullman Palace Car corporation has seen fit to pay more for all other material equipment but that of its Colored porter—one of the necessary equipments on its sleeping cars. We do not think this is fair. Treatment of the Porter Some of the older porters, we understand, are treated fairly well, as well as could be expected on the part of the master toward servants, by many of the district superintendents, but the rank and file—the equipment—porter body as a whole. Is not in any case frequently the of long ago, one of the sleeping cars was not service out on the desert. The porter had to remain with this sleeping car four days, and we are informed that the place where this car was put out of service was some fifteen or twenty from the nearest household or human being. We are not pelled to remain with that car night and day while there; the only way he could get anything to eat or drink was by flagging passing trains, so that his brother porters or cooks could throw him something to eat or give him a drink. Another incident which indicates the kindly treatment of its porter equipment: A porter was ordered to take a certain car to the shop for repairs. It FARMERS' PATRIOTISM District Agent for Virginia Hampton, Va., April 5.—The call to the Virginia farmers of the Race by the United States government increased production and saving of food and feed to aid in supplying war needs was supervised by seventeen local farm demonstration agents so loyalty that more food and feed has been produced and the season than ever before, notwithstanding the fact that farm labor was short. The prolonged cold weather and excessive rain, followed by drought, also damaged crops generally, especially corn, cotton and peanuts. Census of 1910 the seventeen counties worked by the local farm demonstration agents contained 14,705 Race farmers and the thirteen counties assisted by the district agent contained the total of 24,819 Race farmers in the thirty counties thus worked and assisted. It is safe to estimate that 12,000 of these farmers were influenced to practice better farming, greater economy of the farm and a higher standard of living. It was conducted with all classes of farmers. The local agents practice on their farms and in their lives what they teach the farmers. These county workers have been faithful in the discharge of their duties, giving, when necessary, much of their personal time to offer service that the work should go for once and once again. Walter G. Young, local agent of Caroline county, has been appointed emergency district agent to meet the increase in work which must be supervised in 1918. A list of the local agents of Virginia follows: Wynn, Amelia; H. C. Green, Brunswick; W. G. Young, Caroline; R. E. F. Washington, Charles City; J. F. Wilson, Charlotte; A. W. Pegram, Dinwiddle; R. D. Lennon, Gloucester; R. F. Jones, Greensville; C. H. Jordan, Isle of Wight; C. C. H. Thompson, Lunenburg; N. D. Morse, Mecklenburg; R. H. Cox, Montgomery; R. H. Cox, Montgomery; J. D. Addins, Prince George; W. H. George, Surry; M. D. Jones, Sussex. The farmers of the following Virginia counties are also receiving some assistance through the Virginia Department of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blackburg: Accoma, Albemarle, Appomattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, Camden, Crawford, Nantucket, Nassau, Monmouth, Northampton, Powhatan, Southampton, Spotsylvania. NOT ATTACK ON COMPANY In our issue of March 23 we published a news item from Atlanta, Ga., stating that suit for damages had been brought by a girl clerk against J. C. Lindsay, managing director of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Company, of which A. F. Herndon is president. We have been requested by the company to publish certain resolutions adopted March 28 by the employees and agency workers of this company, in which exception is taken to the publication of this item of court news, because it is thought to be an attack upon the company in matter of the company referred to state that the company does a large business in several of the southern states and has a splendid reputation. The resolutions express confidence in Mr. Lindsay, and declare that this publicity has solidified the agency force and co-workers in defending the principals of our great enterprise, and obliged the patrons and the general public to suspend judgment until this matter can be cleared up by due process of the courts. We are glad to see this co-operation among the employees of a great Negro enterprise, and this spirit of confidence in the integrity of its officers, but we do not see that the publication of a new item concerning the personal affair of the office is in any sense an attack on the company. Certainly none was intended. was very cold weather. The pipes on this car all froze and bursted; yet the porter was compelled to remain as a part of the car equipment, without fire or heat until the car was picked up for the shops, notwithstanding the fact that the thermometer registered below zero inside of that car. Meeting of Conductors and Porters Meeting or Conductors and Porters Do you show you the kindly treatment of the equipment the porters and conductors equip, the filletedings, or are called by their superior officers in meetings. The porters in the presence of their superior officers and the conductors are permitted to questions and make statements; then are dismissed. The superior officers and the conductors hold meetings and the conductors ask questions, device ways and means of improving the services, but at these meetings the porter equipment is not remain in the room to hear any grievances or criticisms relative to the porter or to the improvement of the service. Supervising Porters We understand that the men who have been in service for ten years or more, and those who have charge of cars hauling soldiers, are paid the sum of $75.00 per month and are given a supervisee of "Supervising Porter." The supervisee may have a half dozen or a dozen sleeping cars under his supervision—he will be doing all the work of a conductor and more, too, yet receive less salary and is only allowed to sign his name as supervising porter. We suggest that the Pullman company club him Supervising Porter Equipment." Nervous Diseases Some years ago it was thought and proclaimed by those who knew the least concerning the Colored man, that nervous diseases were very rare among them; but in the last twenty-five years we have treated or come in direct contact with as many people of other races as the members of the Colored Race, and we would state that under the same environment—the same conditions—there is absolutely no difference in the nervous system of the white and Colored man, who are formed by a reliable dentist who has had large experience that the nervous system of the Colored Race is as sensitive as that of the white race. Nightmare and Terror We find that as results of this terror and veritable nightmare that many of the Pullman porters have to undergo, the nervous strain, the great fear of being written up by the inspector or the car, the fear of being pitted off the car, the fear of being pitted off the car, the many days, the fear of being discharged, the fear and terror of being searched; the fact of being responsible for everything that may be lost or stolen on the car, have resulted in the increase of nervous diseases among the porters of the man company. This fear, with long hours without sleep and proper rest—overwork, underpay and often underfed, especially when away from home, out on the desert—has caused many premature deaths or mental break- Lost Articles Everything that is lost or stolen on the sleeping car, the porter is first charged with being the culprit or thief, and in some places he is pulled or dragged off the car, far away from him and extended, locked up. He is always impounded to be held, though at the time the articles are lost or stolen he may be half a mile away. But nevertheless, he is immediately searched by the train conductor or road detective, and sometimes at his destination he is followed home by the passenger and searched again and again. On one occasion a fligman stole a very valuable set of furs from one of the passengers on a western train. Immediately the porter was accused and searched, his vallse and locker were searched and he was cross-questioned about those furs; he was taken to the police and underwent all this humiliation, yet protested his innocence. And one of the men who was most active in searching the porter was the guilty thief—it was the flagman. Just by chance, one old lady passenger suggested that he was the rear end of that car all night, that she thought it wise to search the flagman. He was searched and as a result the valuable furs were found. He, the real thief, had helped to search and abuse the poor Colored porter—had seen the porter crushed and humiliated, threatened and beaten, yet guilty as he was, he refused to say anything clear the porter. All this is enough to not only develop nervous diseases, but acute insanity. Mr. Porter, this is your time to organize—to stand together—each for all and all for each. Some of you may lose jobs temporarily, but in the end your children will be better off. Your friends will be proud of you and the world will proclaim that you did not live in vain. Organize. EDITOR'S MAIL Chicago Ill M.E. Abbott, Editor of the Defender. Mr. Abbott, why don't you stick to your former way of thinking or least writings? I thought that you were a "Race man," but I am sorry to relate you are like all the rest of my brethren, or a great majority: Preach loyalty, self-control, without a whit man's dictates, and, then, lo, as soon as you show a white man or men of more show dollars without extra work on you part you are ready to turn your back on your down-trodden Race. You have been advocating our southern brethren to leave the oppression of the South and the white man's power; to con- tinue North to the very self sanctioning. North to Abbott, you must acquainted with your great offensive movement. Mr. DePriest was willing to support Mr. Jackson, but we women, I for one, said, "Mr. DePriest, I will volunteer my service without pay if you will run as an independent. BUT IF YOU DON'T RUN, I will acquainted with your great offensive movement. What I said, A democrat is in we will at least know that it is a white man that is distressed in me, but if Jackson is elected a white man's tool, why I would be truly sorry to think I was ruled by a white man, comaufig in the guise of a white man's complexion. If win April 24, we would give greater glory later on. Now, we gave you a chance to be neutral, and you wouldn't abide by it. You may laugh and scout, but I will continue "boycotting" your evil paper, and by July 1, 1918, I promise you will be selling 25,000 copies instead of 150,000 you bonus. You will not call me and mine and the sum of Chicago and get away with it. Belleve me, if Jackson, Harding, P. Thomas and Martin B. Madden car Ettelson don't wish our support lead have the "cream of Chicago" with them, "please God I am glad to be the "clabber" or skim milk. There's more skim milk than cream anyway. I am MRS.
