GOV. LOWDEN SAVES 'CHICKEN JOE' CAMPBELL'S NECK COAST OF LIBERIA IS SHELLED BY A GERMAN SUBMARINE SCHOOL TEACHERS ON STRIKE EXTRA VOL. XIII NO. 16. COAST OF SCHOOL Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South, Fail to Agree at Conference Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South, Fail to Agree at Conference By a Staff Correspondent St. Louis, Mo., April 15.—The status of the bishop of Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church South will have to be settled about two years hence unless the bishop sets an earlier date for specia consideration, plan for a new church, or two branches appears that the Negro problem is the only obstacle remaining to the reunion, just as it was the cause of the spit in the church. The Joint Conference Committee of the two branches which was in session four days last week at the Centenary church, adjourned Saturday night with the bishop and agreed that agreement had been reached. Rev. Dr. Frank M. Thomas, white, of Louisville, the secretary of the Joint Conference Committee, gave out the following statement: "We have reached agreement and have voted approval of two of the cru FINANCIAL REPORT OF CHURCH MADE PUBLIC Washington, April 19.—The African Methodist Episcopal church raised $235,522.44 in "dollar money" collected March 21, 2014, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The previous year, according to the annual report submitted by Financial Secretary John R. Hawkins at the annual financial board of the denomination, held here on Wednesday, April 17. The following members of the board were present: Bishop H. F. Lee, president; Gaines, T. H. Jackson, A. J. Carey, S. J. Roseborough, R. D. Mance, W. H. Edwards, C. H. Shelton, S. P. Johnson, J. R.

Professor Hawkins said that African Methodist churches had raised $1,000.00 for local needs during the past year, that $125,000 had been raised for charities and benefactions. The denomination owned $12,000.00 of property, the report stated. The secretary also detailed the work done during the survey, in getting four young ministers in the army and of efforts made to help Race soldiers and to urge the use of theft stamps and Liberty bonds. ALLEY RESIDENTS TO BE FORCED OUT JULY 1 Color, Line Is Drawn at Baltimore, Md., April 19—Much indignation was manifested here when several hundred people of color were refused admission to the Garden theater, which with a rally to boost the sale of War Savings Stamps was held. The band of the 368th Regiment and its inimitable drum major, the band of the 368th Regiment. Despite the fact that the band is composed of Race draftees at Camp Meade, only whites were admitted to the theater. sustained a reasonable doubt, and the Defender predicts that in the course of time the mystery will be solved and the leader board and the commutation by Gov. Lowden will be justified. As we go to press we learn through research Campbell will not be sent toJOI, but he been sent to Chuster for safety's sake. "CHICKEN JOE" CAMPBELL SAVED FROM HANGING Governor Lowden Commutes Sentence to Imprisonment for Life "Chicken Joe" Campbell did not hang last Friday morning at 6 o'clock, as per schedule, because at 5:30 o'clock morning, lawyers owing Jolet's attorney's attorneys deputized for the purpose, arrived at the Jolet depot on the Chicago & Alton train from Springfield with a government sentence to imprisonment for life. It was a precious piece of paper, bearing the signature of Frank O. Lowden, governor of Illinois, and the great seal of the University of Chicago. Scholl had the document in his possession. He called Campbell from the death chamber, in which he had spent the night under the sleepless eyes of the watchman, and told him the good news. Condemned Man Quiet Campbell was overjoyed, of course, and full of gratitude that the sentence had him change. But he was the sadest man brightest and the dent prisoner that he has been for all the three years since the Joliet tragedy. He always insisted upon his wife's death, and he would not suffer the death penalty, "because," he said. "I never killed Mrs. Allen, and they can't hang an innocent man." Of doom was set, but each time his lawyers secured a reprieve until this last time, and now the penalty of death was set. His faith was justified when he said "They can't hang an innocent man." A' Clean Call But it was a close call. When the Defender went to press last week there was scarcely a ray of hope. The Deferent watched a hopeful proceeding at Springfieldhof, where the lawyers for Campbell, F. L. Harnett, A. B. Cowing of Joliet and Judge Robert McMurray fought for Campbell until after midnight, visibly opposing the lawyers for Campbell and Joliet. For nearly four hours Mr. Martin argued against any clemency, declaring that the death penalty was the only one that should fit the crime. Board listened intently, asking questions and in every way showing its purpose to make careful, conscientious and absolutely unbiased investigation of all the matters presented, both in favor of Campbell's plea and against Campbell's Fate in Balance Campbell's Fate in Balance Wednesday morning the board continued its work, and when the sunset Campbell's fate was still in the air, the General was again at the head of the Thursday. Judge McMurdy, having remained in Springfield after his two associates returned home, telephoned for them to return, and early Thursday morning both Lawyers Barnett and Cowing were in Springfield again, ready to meet any new emergency. At 9 o'clock it was thought that the board would report at 11 o'clock, but at that hour it was not expected that it would go down over that 12 o'clock. Promptly on the minute the board of pardons fled into the executive chamber and Governor Lowden directed the lawyers to be admitted. It was an hour of intense anxiety and suspense, but soon terminated by the governor, who, addressing the lawyers, said: "The board has been giving this case a "高度" of relief, and it seems there is one point upon which it desires further argument. We will adjourn now until 2:15 o'clock, when further argument will be heard." All returned promptly and after argument Gov. Lowden made a brief resume of the case. After expressing his confidence in the judgment of the board and his表示对Lawyer McMurdy's investigation it had made of the case he announced that the board had recommended clemency he shown to the petitioner, that he approved the action of the board, and acting in the exercise of his executive power, he would commute the sentence of death to a sentence of imprisonment for life. The suspense was ended, Campbell's life was saved and formal talk followed. Governor Concedes Gov. Lowden suggested that the executive warrant must be delivered into the hands of the sheriff at Jollet before 6 o'clock next morning and Atkinson before 6 o'clock if the person it personally if deptuated to do so. Gov. Lowden authorized it to be done. Then Judge McMurray suggested that a telegram he sent to the sheriff informed him of his coming, and the governor told his secretary to send a telegram. Then F. L. Barnett suggested an accident might delay the train and that the governor might ask if the governor asked if the governor's secretary might call up Sheriff Scholl at Jollet and tell him that the sentence had been commuted. The governor heard this and asked if the governor had consented. And thus closed what was probably the most dramatic incident thus far in Gov. Lowden's administration. Confrontation of Campbell's sentence confirms the faith of the Defender in its contention that the tragedy at Jollet was a mystery which hanging Campbell would not solve. The error in the record and that according to the record Campbell was guilty. But the Defender was certain and depositions before the board of the county court that did not and could not get into the record, and these facts raised Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY Colonial Troops in the service of France fighting on French soil under Gen.

WE ARE UNABLE TO AGREE AS TO THE STATTS OF THE REElection, the episcopacy and the judicial council have been approved by both commissions on this subject will be transmitted to the general conference of both churches for their information and action." The general conference is not due to convene until 1920 unless the bishops deem a special meeting necessary. The Southern Methodist general conference convenes in the same year. The two branches split in 1841 over the slavery question, but now the problem is one of affiliation. The Methodist Episcopal church has separate "Jim Crow" congregations and the Methodist Episcopal church maintains in the general conference; the Methodist Episcopal church South maintains an entire separate "Jim Crow" organization which are not represented by the other churches, but have a conference of their own. Fifty men including five bishops from each branch of the church were on the joint committee; two of the members of the committee were Dr. E. Johnston of the Methodist Episcopal church, Dr. I. Garland Pointe of Cincinnati. It was currently reported that the Colored men had been rebuked because they fought attempts to satisfy the Southern Episcopal nominal representation," but Bishop Granston of Washington denied this rumor Saturday. It is said, however, the bishop advised them to accept a less than protonationate representation, but they replied they would not do so. HOT SPRINGS MAYOR WISHES HE HAD-MIND OF COL, SIMMONS (Special to: the Defender) (Speaker to the Dealer) Hot Springs, Ark, April 19.—"If I possessed the mind of Roscoe Conkling Simmons," declared Leo McLaughlin, prominent white lawyer, "I would be worth a million dollars in five years." This Mr. McLaughlin deferred after listening for two hours to the great orator at Visitors' chapel. The edifice was packed and such a meeting was never before held in the famous resort. Many white people were present. They took part in the demonstration provided until the address at the conclusion of the address to shake the hand of the speaker. After Jim Crow It was the Jim Crow that Col. Simmons shot to pieces this time. "See that I do not complain in time of war against insults heaped upon me. I am not a slave to the law and wait among the shadows," he said. "Although I wear the uniform of my country and am walking about on guard I take my seat on the Jim Crow car. For myself I can carry the Jim Crow car in that car, but not always, I know." Two Doors "Instructing the world in liberty, my country must first instruct its people in honor. Opening the door of opportunity, my country must first open the Jim Crow car to freemen at home." Introduced by J. T. T.

April 19—Not only by what he says but also by what he does, Charles Banks, genius of this, the largest Race town in the country, keeps way in the lead here. Under the guidance of Mr. Banks and his close friend, John W. Francis, Mound Bayou oversubscribed its quota of the third Liberty Loan. Its quota was $13,800. The town took $18,250 worth of bonds. Mr. Banks presided at the meeting of citizen and himself took $1,000 worth of bonds. He took his seat for marshal of the town was held. William Dixon, the Banks-Francis candidate, ran over Clegg, the booze eney. The stair was fair, but at the last minute Clegg gave his hoof caught in the bridle, and when the judges rose to watch the finish there was nothing to it but Banks-Francis and his hoof. "Hitter St. Louis," was the election slogan, and the Race hero has good memory. 6 INDICTMENTS IN EAST ST. LOUIS RIOT INQUIRY By a Staff Correspondent By a Start Correspondent St. Louis, Mo., April 20—The investigation made last November into the East St. Louis riot situation seems to have been the most authoritative little has been secured in the way of obtaining justice.

One of those indicted was the notorious Alexander Flannigan, who is to have made a speech encouraging the inquiry to his own hands in dealing with the Race situation in East St. Louis. The charge against him is violation of the law, and he is attempting to aid John Saliz (white) at East St. Louis saliz keeper, to become a citizen. Others indicted were Steve Uink and his wife, Lillie Uink (white) as priors of a "hotel," and two men known as "Leo" and "Mickey."

THIRD EDITION Walkout Caused When the Superintendent Slaps One 49th Annual Lexington Conference of Methodist Episcopal Church Closes SATURDAY RMAN SUP N ST Walkout Caul Superintend Wilson, N. C., April 19—Following the brutal assault on Miss Mary Euell, a teacher in the public schools here, by C. L. Coon (white), superintendent of public instruction, mino teachers on board of resignation, and board of education and walked out of the school rooms. The trouble arose when Miss Mary Euell sought an interview with Mr. Coon for the purpose of voicing objection against the school principal, J. D. Reid, Principal Reid was in the office of Coon when he skipped Miss Euell, but only grinned and joined in with the superscripted word "legged" to have told Miss Euell that she should not have talked to a "white gentleman" in such a manner, and that she should have remembered that while folks is white folks. Principal Reid hand at the school, and the fact that teachers were overcrowded with work is decided as the reason for the misunderstanding. The interview: "I slapped Mary Euell's face because she persisted in talking back to me. She was grossly discounted to me in my office. I am sure there is no white man Wilson who would have given otherwise. He continued. "The principal of the Colored school is not responsible for this trouble. He is a 'good Nigro' and acted perfectly respectable when I was a Nigro." "The principal of 'Nigro' we need in the principalship, and as long as I am superintendent he will remain at the post. He knows a 'Nigro's' place, and when I was a Nigro we had a Coon, white Prof. Reid, termed the "good Nigro", looked on and smiled: On the morning of Monday, April 1, I with some of the other teachers discussed the old school at 8:30 and began our day at school by 8:30 and began our day at work, and at time to close, by the new time, closed the day's work. Principal Reid did not begin until the usual hour by the old time, and the office objected to my closing before he ordered it. We could not, however, come to a satisfactory agreement. So he ordered me to meet him at the superintendent's office as he would agreed to do so and went. Principal Reid was there when I reached the office and no doubt had prejudiced the superintendent's mind against me. I was asked by the superintendent to explain myself, and so proceeded to do so. Principal Reid disputed all I said. Insisted that I had told only the truth to my self. If I wanted to make Principal Reid a liar, I said I only wanted to speak the truth for myself. The superintendent ordered me to shut up on my office. I told him that I would go out.

Never has there been so brilliant a collection of the cream of ministerial talent brought together at the annual conference. The walls of that big auditorium have trembled with wonderful addresses and during bits of eloquence which have been heard in thousands spellbound and thrilled. "Suspendous, marvelous, unparalleled and unequaled," quoth one minister, gray with years, but with the picture of conferences fresh in his memory. Enthusiasm was the keynote everywhere, and Wednesday evening the affair started off with a bang. Before a large assemblage W. L. Sherrill, winner of the St. Mark's lyceum essay contest, made the address of welcome. His discourse was followed by those of Rev. J. L. Thomas, president of the Chicago Methodist Preachers' meeting, and Rev. J. A. Winters of St. Paul's C. M. E. church, 4501 State street, and J. P. Brushingham, who represented the mayor of this city. Responsive addresses were made by Rev. W. H. Renfro, Smithland, Ky., and E. A. White. No doubt one of the most brilliant lectures of the affair was given Friday night when Bishop Thomas Nicholson, D. D. (white), addressed an assemblage of over 900 people with a wonderful theme of the revolutions the world war is bringing in respect to all nations. Rev. I. G. Penn, delegate of the commission of unification, which body recently convened in St. Louis, Mo., reported to the conference committee that as a result of this meeting Methodist Episcopal church rejected any plan of unification which proposed to restrict or limit the rights or privileges of its lace members.

I did so and at the workly teachers' meeting I told the incident that had happened in the presence of Principal Reid and that he had offered no protest, no pro- tection at all.

Newsboy and Dealer in Argument Start a Crowd Beata Two Policemen—Reserves Fire Resolvers New York, April 19.—A little 14-year-old boy, James Williams of 40 West 135th street, got into an argument with News Dealer Mich last Sunday about noon. As a result two men were locked up, two policemen were hurt, the reserves from the 88th procline were called out, the news dealer's business for the day was done and a crowd of many hundreds were disrupted, police hiring their revolvers in the air. According to the news dealer, who is white, the boy who sometimes stands around the subway station, where Mich's stand is situated, selling gum and papers, stole eight copies of a Sunday morning paper. He is known among the boys as "Cuba," denied stealing the papers, and claimed to have purchased them at another news stand. Mich, however, could not corroborate the boy's assertion, and insisted on the return of his lost papers. Hy this time a large crowd had collected, and according to the news dealer, urged the boy on in the argument. Policeman Jeremiah Smith, attracted by the crowd, attempted to settle the argument, whon, he claims, Robert Smith, 504 Lenox avenue, 48 years old, died. Smith under arrest, starting off down 135th street to the police station. The crowd, now numbering hundreds, attempted to take Smith away from the policeman, and soon had the officer down, being severely Reserves to scene In the meantime, someone telephoned to the station, and the reserves, to the number of thirty-five, came down 135th street. Besides having Officer Smith hard pressed by Police Harpomites and also faced by the attempt to jump, who came to the first policemea's rescue, back against a building. They were in this ticklish position when rescued by the reserves. After several shots had been fired in the alp the crowd huddled dispersed. The police officer was Charles Austin, who said he lived at 183 West 134th street. Policeman James Mohan claims he requested Austin to move on, and when he refused the policeman placed him under arrest. Austin resisted arrest, and a militant officer says the prisoner bit his hand. Before Ministrate Blou in the night court Austin, who was charged with foliolons assault, was held for Special Sessions, and Robert Smith, who was charged with disorderly conflict, was charged to ten days in the workhouse. These riots are always unfortunate, but must seemingly occur every once in a while. The only solution for their extinction is policemen of our own kind. A police officer says the move is encouraged by the authorities and our men on the force no real peace will abound in Harlem. Infant Child Burns to Death New York, April 19—Left alone while their mother, Mrs. J. Jackson of 570 Lenox avenue, went out to do some shopping, two older children, playing in the fire, a department causing the death of Alexander, a 9-month-old child. The children set fire to a lace curtain, and soon the flames were spread throughout the floor. Becoming armed with the fire, the fire was soon extinguished and the firemen, in looking over the burnt flat, found the little child under the bed, where he had apparently rolled, his little hand up to his chest. Dr. Greenberg responded to an ambulance call from Harlem hospital and pronounced the child dead from burns and suffocation. The body was brought to the 58th precinct station house, where he was returned on half hour later and found her home a wreck she became hysterical.

BOX 36 NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN NEWS German Propagandist Arrested; Plotting Disloyalty New York, April 19.—The Department of Justice last week announced the arrest of Max Freudenheim, an insurance collector, charged with plotting to disloyalty among our Races in Harlem. Freudenheim, who lived in the Bronx, would engage people in conversation about the war and would advise them not to be loyal, nor to subscribe to Liberty Loans, buy thrift stores. His arrest occurred, so Mr. Charles F. De Woody, chief investigator of the Department of Justice said, as the direct result of telling an elderly woman the Race would be better treated should Germany win the war. The Department of Justice and investigator Davidson was sent out to make the arrest. Freudenheim was remanded to the Essex county jail in Newark, pending a full inquiry into the case. At the office of Mr. Woody, on the fourteenth floor in the New Park Row building, was informed that much more data concerning a believed organized propaganda to spread disloyalty among the Races in New York had been gathered, but could not be made public as yet.

Many Women Taking Porter Jobs Brooklyn, April 19—The Brooklyn Rapid Transit is putting on women as porters very rapidly. The women seem to like this exceptionally objectionable job for a woman is a mystery. This work is dirty and the pay small, while many opportunities for work of a more lucrative and certainly more rewarding nature for women—opportunities such as factory workers, etc., heretofore unheard of. A Defender man recently watched a woman clean a station cuspidor and later at another station saw one of these women porters sweeping down a litter filled street at the Duffield street station of the Fulton street elevated line. A number of cigar butts, expectation and the like were among the stuff this woman was calmly sweeping up to the amusement of the crowd. A number of white women, who stood curiously by and watched the work. Lured to Roof and Robbed New York, N. Y., April 13.—Matthew Jones, a butler of 155 W. 139th street, was robbed of a $130 in cash, a gold watch and a $132 pin on the roof house at 133rd street near Lenox avenue. His cries attracted the attention of police, which resulted in the arrest of Haymond Mason, a chauffeur of 2164 with the wife. Jones accuses Mason as the killer of the wife, and had been lured to the roof under the pretense that a woman whom he was searching for would be found there. Three other men are said to be implicated in the murder. Mason was held under $2,500 bail. The police claim the scheme to be an old one constantly operated in Harlem.

Striking Hard in N. Y. Rent Fight New York, April 19.—For a long time the people of New York, especially those residing in the "metropolis of Harlem," have been staggering under a burden that has grown heavier and heavier each year, until it has now become so unbearable its victims are lying from sheer financial exhaustion. This burden let you the reasonable rent charged by honest landlords from which to derive a just return on the monies invested in their properties, but the unjust, extortionate rentals imposed by a designing, consisting band of exploiting, blood-sucking, and ruthless payers as legitimate prey upon whom to perpetrate their depreciations. The rent payers of New York are enlisted in a finish fight against the ring of real estate speculators and exploiters, who, Captain Kidd-like, have going into the pockets of their vices. When the battle is over one of two principles shall have triumphed—the establishment of justice, equality and democracy in matters in rent as between tenants, and forever doing away with the unjust and inequitable tax imposed upon them, or success of the landlord. The wrong shall not triumph; instead their forces must be shattered—routed; and they will be, if every rent payer rallies to his own defense under the banner raised in his boulh by the Universal Negro Protective Co-operative Association, moved by the state government. Our gallant troops fighting upon the battlefields of Picardy, France, are giving their lives in no juster cause than the one in which our people are engaged in New York to free themselves from the serfdom imposed upon them by greedy landlords. Samuel A. Duncan, president of the association, the following clear statement was obtained: "The causes underlying the high rents charged Negro tenants and the modus operandi of these landlords are well known. Whenever a landlord a piece of property occupied by white tenants finds himself about to lose his property to the mortgagors, he turns out his write tenants and installs Colored ones in their stead. As the white tenants move out and the Colored ones are propelled by some automatic device, anywhere from $5 to $15 per apartment. Simultaneously the quality of the service begins to decline and continues so until within a year or so there is practically no service at all. The tenants are allowed to get out of order and the tenants are forced to mount five to seven tights of stairs to reach their apartments. A new junior is usually employed to look after the premises upon the advent of the Colored tenants. His stairs are paid to the old junior and the services he performs are accordingly much less. It soon becomes noticeable that the sidewalk is neglected and the entrance and stairs are unswept and unwashed except on one day of the week. In the basement, to the discomfort of the tenants and a menace to their health. These conditions exist in spite of the fact that the landlord receives more rent from his Colored tenants from his white ones, and should there be one in a position to give better rather than inferior service. Determined to End High Rents "It is to the above unjust and inexcapible state of affairs that the Colleagues of New York are determined to stand secure for themselves lower rent and better living and housing conditions. "Hitherto there have been individual attempts to fight the unfair exactions of the landlords, but as is the case of all individual and unorganized efforts, the landlord has not naught. Also, in the past, the societies that are supposed to represent our people in such matters as this have contented themselves with making 'investigations' by smooping into the private affairs of people and at the end of issue 'statistics' in pamphlet form, shearing the many extent of their investigations. These statistics are intended for the benefit of the philanthropically inclined white folks, whose money maintains these societies. But the rent burden has continued as irksome as ever, and the housing conditions under which the people of the city live remain just the same. "But the time of individual, unorganized effort has passed. The time for concerted action has arrived. The Negroes are aroused. They are now alive to the fact that in the matter of high rent they are exploited and penalized by unscrupulous landlords on account of their color. And so standing in solidarity with them, Universal Negro Protective and Co-operative Association and the Chicago Defender, they are resolved to force the landlords to release their strangle hold of them and to compel a reasonable reduction of the rent charged them. By a reasonable reduction we mean at least $5 per apartment. If this reduction can be forced it will mean a saving of $10,000 to the $150,000 families of $750,000 annually. This sum is worth fighting for. The amount will look just as good in the pockets of the people as in those of the unconscionable landlords. High Rents and Buffet Plates The fact that high rents—higher rents than the salaries received by the victims of this form of extortion—tend to undermine moral safeguards and foster conditions not in consonance with social norms, can lead to a conflict between buffet rents and high rents. The latter breeds the former. More; unreasonably high rent forces respectable families to submit portions of their property to persons of whom they know little or nothing about the infrequently disturbing and disrupting factors and destroyers of the peace and harmony that ought to pre- SITUATIONS WANTED—MALE MUSICIAN-PLAYS DUBBLE BASS VIOLIN; wishes engagement with professional orchestra; own instrument.

To meet the high rent their homes are turned into miniature lodging houses. All these morally enervating conditions will be eliminated when rentals have been reduced to a figure commensurate with the average income of people live and the services they receive. It is a moral crime for us to be forced to pay out of lower wages and limited opportunities higher rent for the same number of rooms, but with poorer accommodations than with the same amount upon to pay rent. It is general knowledge that landlords were first led to get rid of their white tenants by our real estate agents—that they are the ones who opened the eyes of the landlords to the possibilities of swollen incomes on their heavily mortgaged properties by the landlords. But these "pioneer" real estate agents of our Race, these traitors to the Race who have soiled their hands with filth here and who are responsible in large measure for all of the sufficiencies that our people have in their real estate agents of exploiting landlords, will be shown in their true colors during the progress of the campaign.

PAGE FOUR "You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes." If there has ever been any doubt as to to the ability of the actors of the Race to present, in proper manner, the sensational and emotional drama which are such a large part of things the theatrical day of the parade on Monday night at the Avenue Theater when the famous La Sagrada Flower Co. of New York opened their engagement with a wonderful presentation of celebrated drama, "Madame X." The tional drama which are such a large part of the show today; it was dispelled on Monday night at the Avenue Theater when the engagement fayette Stock Co. of New York opened their engagement presentation of the celebrated drama, "Madame X." The show right here, was a representation. Tony Langston tive one, many of Chicago's most prominent people occupying seats at this theater, and the handsome house to the doors. The work of the famous group of performers was a revolution to the skeptics with the fine record which has been made by them during the two years and a half which they have occupied the Eunisette Theater, New York. The other, a brilliant Michel qualifies her as the best of all of our emotional actresses, and the many different phases of character both impressive and convincing. Called upon to run the gamut of every emotion that a life such as that led by the unfortunate outcast of the stage, he justified the reputation which preceded her in this line of work. In the trial scene her best opportunities came, and she held the large workable work. There were few dry eyes in the house at the finish, which is as much a tribute to the art of the stage as efficient in the husband and himself in the graftying manner that might have been expected of him, and the same can be said of "Babe" Townsend as the husband of husband, Inez Cough, as Rose, the mud; Susie Sculpe, as Marie, and Lillian Gillam as the sweetheart of the son, were the clerk of the court. Will A. Cough as the griff president of the court, played his part well, and A. B. DeCornhoudt, shown the versatility by playwright Brutal, brutal paranoid, and Valmorin. Two unique characters, Parissard and Merval, adventurers, lent enough comedy to the scenes, and were creatively handled by the two popular favorites, J. Francis Mora and Walter Robinson. Some of the scenes were done by Charles Olden, who played the part of Raymond, the young lawyer unconsciously defending his own mother of the charge of murder. His plea for the court was dramatic efforts after the trial until the finish of the piece were remarkable. It is a great show and well presented. George Smith, and including Chester Lee, Hugh Swift, Walter Mays, William Garland and Emma Smith, is good GOOD BILLS AT GRAND AND MONOGRAM THEATERS The Grand When it was announced that the Grand Theater would have a big minisrael for the present week and hand it off the well-known master hand of the well-known all hands were satisfied that something entirely above the ordinary would be its conjecture was not a miss, as the all hands were composed of the cream of the Rhoeas' performers along that line, sure showed that the conjecture was correct. While there is enough comedy, harmony and special features to satisfy all present. The first edition end men introduced Kesene and Foxworth, bones; the big noises, introduced as Gen. Nulsance and Gen. Delivery (Tom Cross and Tim Department and new jokes and comedy bers had the house by the ears from start to finish. Andrew Tribble, introducted with his son Myrna, was a big hit with his son, Myrna, and took his full share of hand at the finish; Andy always was a great Grand Chorus, singing chorus. Here We Are. Uncle Sam, much for the quality of the chorus as for its worthily patriotic spirit, and had the large audience whetted for what followed, the routine being about like this: Mammy Jennie's Hall of Fame, by Paul Carter; Blue Bird, by Miss Gordon; Land of Ease, Cliff Green; Garden of My Heart, Berlina Blanks; Bleeding Moon, by Margaret Jackson, popularly known as the Black Tetrazzini; The Jazz Dance, sung and artistically performed by Harper & Blanks; Sunshine of Dixieland, by Leon Diggs; the fine singing and dancing specialty of Keene & Foxworth; the great ballad, Why Should I Wait Till Tomorrow, by Jerome Johnson, and a beautiful closing chorus, Derby Day in Dixie. Leon Diggs made an efficient interlocutor, and Tom Cross certainly had things primed for a speedy as well as a highly entertaining hour. Dave Peyton and his famous orchestra outdid themselves and handled their end of the responsibility in the most approved manner. It sure is a real minutres, and it is a pity that it won't be held intact after this special engagement. We will not be ill here the other way. Other areas on this bill were the Marsh Arabs, in a great country across a big, brisk, ordinary, who have a great novelty, and Single Tim Owsley in a monologue of grade and distinction. Tim is a single to conjure with, and has a bunch of original talk and songs that are a knock-out. The bill here the last half of the past week had Adams & Maxey, a clever team of boys who have the piano as an some real singing and good comedy act. They were well in second spot. Other acts were Big Jim, the wrestling bear, who showed great strength in more ways than one; Walters & Moore, with a clever singing and talking pair, and Loz Leerco & Co., comedy acrobats. The Avenue The last vaudeville to be shown at this theater closed on Sunday night to make room for the great Lafayette Stock Co., which opened on Monday at the McLeans, a fine pair of society dancers; Clifford Wayne & Co, an Indian, a lady and a little papoose of cleverness; Wm. Morrow & Co, with a good sketch; George Hall, monologist, and downtown Band, a fine musical parody. The Monogram The bill here this week has several well known favorites, the principal one being popular Fanny Wissem, who has sung her way into the hearts of more people than any single lady on any time. She has a fine routine of new songs, using only one of any which she has sung here before, and that one only by popular request. She has a wardrobe which is away above the average, and Fanny looks just as handsome as in the days of yore. Clifford Ross, the monologist, is showing a class of "stuff" here that makes the auditors readily recognize the fact that all the good things said of him have been justified, and his work is a hit from start to finish. Sellman & Sellman, who have been away from the Stroll for some little time, are back and just as popular as ever; they also have a line of new songs and talk, and the fourth act introduces the Wiggins Trio (Wiggins, Sunshine and Cooper), and they have an act that is a sure fire one. Miss Sunshine is a clever little lady and Wiggins, who is the comedian of the trio, is a great laugh producer; the straight work of Cooper ranks high, and the act rounds out one of the best bills seen here for some time. Lulu Coates & Co. Boston, Mass., April 13. The famous vaudouville net, Luci Contes & Crackerjacks, is the featured attraction with a week of performances and a week at the Casino. This act's reputation is being upheld in this engagement, the work of the turn cause-shift show of a sensation at all performances. The show was never seen to better advantage her songs and dances going over in wonderful style. The Crackerjacks, ability, offer a result of speed and dances that causes an uproar and the climax at the finish has every one standing. The Wonder Show itself is a celebration of the season offings, and aside from the work by the clever principals engaged, the handsome and efficient chorus is deserving of the greatest praise. Capacitance is the rule here this week. Next week, the Columbia, New York City. Estella Chandler Dlez Estella Chandler, the little daughter of Mrs. Bailley of the team of Green & Bailley, died last week and was survived by her Cemetery, the funeral being held under the roof of the Baptist Young People's Union, of which she was a member, six of the little girls acting as pall bearers. The deceased belonged to Morgan Park church. Margaret Jackson renamed a solo, "The Isle of Somewhere." THE CHICAGO DEFENDER "THE WARRIOR" Maciste, the mighty marvel of strength and agility, has in "The Warrior" one of the best vehicles that could hold a sword for his almost miraculous strength and his quiet, inimitable humor. Those who saw Maciste as the Giant of Cabrinha, the most formidable productions of filmmad, will remember his wonderful physical development, and this picture, which comes to the Teleford Theater, for one day only, SUNDAY, JULY 15, might feats of strength from the beginning until the end of the seven reels, and interspersed throughout are little instances that serve as a relief to the hair breathtaking adventures, the overcoming of seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and the things it is an Italian production made in Italy, and a short synopsis follows: During the first advance against Italy by Austrian troops a large number of inhabitants are captured, among them a man in an old stable. By a ruse Maclise overpowers the guards and the prisoners escape. They find refuge in the castle Potolingo, owned by an Italian company. By a ruse Maclise draws the attacking forces away from the castle in time to give the prisoners a chance to escape. Later he joins the army and is assigned to the Alpine troops. He resides in the castle, where he is stating that the count would pay the penalty, now that he, the count, is in the hands of the Austrians. Maclise, single handed, enters the Austrian army together with three others, and returns to the Italian regiment with his prisoners. Learning that the count is held a prisoner in his own home, Maclise, makes a raid and rescues the old man just in time to save the daughter from an attack by one of the officers. It is a great picture, so don't see it.

IN A PAIR OF QUEENS Next Week—BRANDED PHOENIX THEATRE "WOMAN AND THE LAW" The struggle of a woman for her child and the lengths to which she will go for its protection are pictured with tremendous dramatic intensity. In the William Fox playplay, some women are drawn to the attraction at the States theater Saturday and Sunday of this week. It comes by special permit, so there will be no one under 21 admitted. Written and staged by R. A. Walsh, the brilliant display of the forces it presents the picture of timely and pertinent interest to everyone. Based on the internationally sensationally De Saulieu case, which so shocked the United States and South Africa, it is hard to believe every home in the country, it is said, the thrilling moment when the woman, who has slain for the sake of her child, faces the jury which is to decide her life. The jury is also to decide her most hurried playmate spoolbound. Meeting a beautiful heiress in South America, a young American college man marries her and brings her to New York. For a time all goes well with them. The bride is happy in the home which her husband has made for her in the great city, and she is slow to realize that she is forced at her company and longs for his companions of the gay life of the city. After a child is born to them he soon wearies and makes life hideous for her. His escapades with notorious women have taken him to take her child from her. Then the elemental passions leap to the surface, she kills him, and is forced to face the It. It is left to the jury to decide her fate. The jury is forced before them is the question that this play places squarely before every person who sees it thrown on the screen: Are there provinces which justify it? And the jury decides in a scene that who was the one who记忆 of every one whoggs it.

A short synopsis follows: Peter Granby and his young brother-in-law have made a night of it at a popular restaurant during Mrs. Granby's absence from the city. They awake later to find Mrs. Granby returned, and an account in the paper of a shooting scrape at the restaurant over some little bit of blurt. Granby, who had just been in the overcoat on the wounded man, containing a wallet with thousands of dollars. Granby is in dire distress, knowing that the detectives are looking for the missing coat and fearing to be seriously compromised. His consternation is increased by discovering that the wallet is there, but the money is missing. It has passed into the possession of Madge, one of the most�ously com¬ bence women in the country. By and by, two detectives enter the data to begin their sleuth work, and those, with the servant girl, furnish most of the fun. While Martha, the servant, is made to stand a vast deal of the brunt of the complications over the attempt to hide the tell-tale coat and contributes to its intricacies by sustaining sentimental relationships with the other, the other is not so much as Granby mistakes for a third man hunter, the two detectives, Steve and Dock, soon become the life of the piece. In Steve, the raw sleuth is on his first assignment, blundering at every turn and thwarting the finely spun plans of his associates. Granby and his en¬ terprising brother-in-law finally turn their heads on the two detectives, and deliver the�s to the detectives, and they handcuffed, while at the same time their innocence of any connection with the crime at the restaurant is satisfactorily established.

Speculative Investments are those securities offered to the Public by Corporations or Firms which propose to use your money to try out some idea or plan they have in mind and "think" will succeed. In other words, they doubt their ability to do as they claim, but, however, are willing to give it a tryout if you will furnish the money—PURE GAMBLING. Non-Speculative Investments are the securities offered to the Public by Corporations or Firms which have made a success (whole or in part) with their own money, and ask you to join them and help push an already successful business. These men used their own private funds—took all chances of speculation themselves. All the elements of risk, other than that which accompanies all business no matter how good, have been eliminated. NO GAMBLE IN THIS. Success is merely a matter of organization, efficiency, supply, demand and capital. Furnishing the capital by purchasing their shares of common capital stock (a real ownership interest), in a worthy Non-Speculative Corporation, is an ideal form of investment for the average Race member who has a limited amount of funds for investment.

FANY14 AC513 12,000 Fans See Lincoln Giants in Double Victory Olympic Flold, April 19—Twelve thousand fans turned out to see the Lincoln Giants in the third game of the season last Sunday. The Giants played in their old form, with Lloyd and Hall, who just returned home, covering their old spot. But Lincoln did great work by defeating the College Point team by a score of 5 to 0 in the first game. The final game was with the Ironsides. During the early part of the fray Tom Williams pitched five innings, and then was succeeded by Cockrell. The youngster had the Toughest innings, and thousands of the fans jumping and throwing their hats in the air. They were much pleased with the wonderful work of Cockrell. He is a good pitcher, and if he keeps it up, retaining his coolness, he is certain to make good. He ap- Community Basket Ball League Last Friday night the Doolittle playground basketball ball team succeeded in breaking the tie for the first place in the Community league when they downed the Lincoln S. S. team by the score of 7-2. This is the second time that the two teams have played, at both of which Doolittle has defeated Lincoln. The Employed Boys' team forfeited their game to Shiloh S. S. team by not showing up. On Friday night Bethel will play St. Mark's team and Boean will play the brothers. The public is invited to witness these games, as well as a talk on Y. M. C.

A. boys' basket ball teams ran wild again last Saturday night, defeating three of the fastest boys' teams in the city. The 95-lb Midgets' team starheaded the 95-lb team, the Seward Park 95-lb team, defeating them by a score of 29 to 7. The youngsters passed the ball so fast that it was almost impossible for those on the sidelines to keep up with it. Leon Scott, Glanton and Vason wore helmets that will, although they were closely guarded by men who outweighed them 5 pounds or more to a man. Scott lead with the honors, with Vason second and Glanton third. Plummer and Cress, for the Y boys, played the defensive game that they played against the Wahash floor by any set of guards. The 105-ib Maroons went out of their class and took on the 115-ib team from Seward Park, defeating them by the score of 30 to 6. Ray Patterson again lead with seven points. Waddell followed closely on his heels with four baskets and one free throw. Maurice Bowles proved to be too fast for Seward Park's boys. He would follow the ball time and time again down under his basket for a shot and then get back to his position as guard. He was the leading team. Whenever the ball was passed toward Seward's basket you would find Eugene Woods up on his toes and receiving the pass, returning it to Patterson at center. Ball's man had the reach on him, still he succeeded in out-jumping the most of the 115-ib thus giving Wabash the advantage over the Park had. The big surprise of the night came from Crawford's Pick-Ups, when they defeated the All-Star High School team from Hyde Park by the score of 6 to 1. Dan Dempster handled the ball like old dimers. The High School boys were sure of victory, but the good work of Lyman Stone and Hyman Johnson at guard proved to be their stumbling blocks. Next Saturday the Maroons will meet the 125-lb team to make it 18 victories to 1 loss for the season. The Pick-Ups will play the 125-lb team from the same park. Line-up: Midgets. B F P T F.

Floyd Booker of last year's Dayton Marcos was the only one signed up on last Sunday of the new men out. peared to the fans as a professional, instead of a novice. It was a real pitching exhibition between Tom Williams and Cockrell. The team threw and rain of Saturday, the sun came out early Sunday morning and fixed up the diamond for a real baseball game. The crack bromides, who played sensational ball for years, demonstrated so much skill that George Baxton, the "lided" rooter for Lincoln, could be heard for nine city blocks. Everybody is anxious to hear him root. The Lincoln Giants are not yet set to play for the season; many of their players have joined other teams. The score: LINCOLNS Ab. R. H. O. A. E.

CASE OF LIEUT, TRIBBETT WILL BE INVESTIGATED Department of Justice Asked to Report What Redress Army Officer Has for Arrest Washington, D. C., April 19.—The Department of Justice has been asked by the War Department to investigate the case of First Lleut. Charles A. Tribbett of the national army and reaction legal redress he has for the action of Oklahoma in arresting and prisoning him for alleged violation of the state "jim crow" law. Lleut. Tribbett is from New York and graduated from the colored officers' training camp in Iowa, and assigned to duty with troops at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. I. While on that duty, the records of the War Department show, that recently he was convicted by the usual means of transportation to the post at Fort Sill, Okla., for instruction and education. When the train on which he was traveling stopped at a station near Chickasaw, Okla., it was boarded by a sheriff and party, who arrested Tribbett and the regulation military uniform, for riding in a car with white people. Arrested in Spite of Protest In spite of his protest that he was an officer of the United States army, traveling under orders on government business, Tribbett was forcibly removed from the car and imprisoned in the county jail and subsequently fined. Following an appeal to the War Department, Tribbett was released and permitted to return his journey to Fort Sill, where he is now. His friends, including George W. Crawford of New Haven, Conn., and Robert L. Fortune of Chickasaw, Ohio, his attorney, protested to the War-Department through Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, against the mistreatment to which Lieut. Tribbett has been subjected, and from the first, assurances were given by Mr. Scott that the matter would be passed over War Deputy. These friends have contended that Lieut. Tribbett was an interstate passenger, trailing under orders on government business and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the state authorities.

E. Williams of the 15th Battalion, which was very inspiring and along racial lines, the big game was on. The machine was first to appear and was followed by the squall of the Blue and White, which was also given an equal greeting, routine instructions by Referee Ferdinand Accoe, and the whistle blew. Gilmore outreached H. Jenkins in the tap of which Rhone took, losing the ball to fat Jenkins. Play after play was broken up, both teams not winning, and the first five minutes of play. Many fouls were committed by both sides, Gilmore finally scoring the first foul basket for Alpha. Team work and defense on both sides were equally divided, and it was easy to see that the game would be taught to a finish, as Alpha was displaying a brand of basket ball that wins games and their crimination to trim the manchine once more was the handwriting on the wall. The first half ended 12 to 4 in favor of Alpha. The cheering sound to both sides kept the audience amused during the resting period with their songs and club yells. Henry Wilson of the moonlight ship fame, leader of the Alpha cheer squad seemed to have an equipment he was equipped with a megaphone. The beginning of the second half started with as much vigor and vim as the first half, and the rest, which naturally is welcomed by a team that is tired, helped the machine wonderfully, as they had been completely played off their feet. Fat Jephthus and G. Flall, who was kept well guarded by Alpha in the first half, were not stopped until the score was 16 to 4. At this stage of the game Phone was replaced by Perry, who lasted five minutes. Capt. Gilmore replacing him with Slocum, a protege of Bill Maldon, who recently cast his lot with Alpha. Gilmore made a strategic move by sending in Slocum, as he was responsible for two field haskets which took 12 to 4 feet, one of which was a one-handed throw from a most difficult angle. The machine tried their utmost in the final few minutes of play, but to no avail, as Alpha had their number. The game ended by the score of 15 to 19. After the final whistle Alpha rooters rushed on the floor, surrounded Slocum, seized him, and placed him on their shoulders, parading the Casino. Another hit up the lively stubble blues, the game was forgotten and the dance was on. It was one of Harlem's biggest nights. The score: ALPHA P. C. C. Points. F—L.

FARDONED BY GOVERNOR Ralgeh, N. C., April 19—Gov. Bickett extended clemency to Albert Lytle, a well known citizen of Burke county, convicted of assault, with a deadly weapon and incarcerated to pay a fine of $50 and serve three days in jail. Some thirty-six representative citizens of Morgantown, where the prisoner was prominently connected, including the mayor, appealed to the governor to pardon Lytle. Lytle was asked by a local officer to take two young white men to prison, which he did reluctantly. After the white men were released from the prison they staged publicly that they intended to get the "migger" who assisted in the arrest. Upon hearing of these threats Lytle armed himself and when attacked the men were sliding judge refused to let Lytle go after paying a fine, because he had shot a white man.

For weeks and weeks the fans have been praying for the opening day to be warm enough for a good crowd, and the old weather man was good, for the day was fair and the crowd was wonderful.

Goe it was a regular midseason affair. The Giants got away with two runs in the lead, then the white lads tied it up and of course the fans went wild, for the Giants came through in the lucky second and pulled off some of their inside stuff, raising Cain with the visitors. Whithworth Fans Thirteen Bobby Williams, Whitworth and Grant were the idols of the fans. The first showed that he was there with his arm and that Jess Barber will have a hard time in keeping the sprinting team together during the game. It would have been fourteen, but Goeckel went to sleep on one right in the center of the plate, which looked like a beauty. Grant played a stellar game at the initial sack. His barchained pickup was a round of applause from the crowd. Giants Hit Well One true fact that the game brought out was that the Giants can hit. They are in midseason form and the fans expect bans-up ball all season. With the Giants coming off the road they went about it just like a co-chef had been schooled in leadership. A military aspect was given to the game by a mingling of soldier boys from Camp Grant, who applauded the team's leader of sailors from the Great Lakes training station who enjoyed the game. All in all it was an ideal welcoming GREEN'S SECOND SACKER ```markdown ``` Thurman Jennings, the star second sacker of Joe Green's Chicago Giants, who open their season Sunday at Auburn Park.

THEY MAY HAVE THEIR MONEY BACK, immediately; as none of the Wise can possibly fall to rejoice in it, more than they would over a Thousand of the best other magazines ever issued, in the history of the world; for it brings to them, that get it, "The Special Almighty WAY" which God has NOW, at His own will, prepared, by which His people may escape all the calamities that are now coming upon the evil and wicked people of this generation, and NOTHING can take the place of it. AND DON'T FORGET, that any man or woman that gets it, and is delighted in it, THEY are given a Leading Part in the Things it contains, to benefit the Righteous. Every man who got a Copy of the February Issue, and wrote back they were well pleased, they get a March Issue FREE, sent to them, and they will get a Copy of the Magazine Free; it costs us 19 cents a copy to send out the paper, 57 cents for three copies spent to get them "The Supreme Sun of Righteousness," as we have every copy of it registered, to keep it from going astray, so valuable is its contents, we do not allow it to go unregulated—ordinary—to them that send for it; thus it will cost us high to send them the Magazine, each copy of it MUST be registered by order of the Editor.

During his oration he brought home to the parents of many of our youths, the need of education. He warned them that the future of the Race was in the youth. The vast amount of opportunities that will be available during the war and after its settlement could yield youth not ready to take the place unless he fitted himself or herself now. The professor touched on France, the "only country that knows no color line." He touched on Wilberforce University and her boys who have gone to do their bit. He was warmly applauded and every one sought to shake his hand when the meeting was brought to Stewart followed with another group of students, whom were the Requiem. Miss Alpha Bratton rendered one of Mr. Stewart's selections and was brought back by the heavy applause for an encore. A few remarks and reading of announcements by Mrs. Roberts-George and the meeting ended with Rev. Jackson's benediction.

You are dead to him, but you do not yet know it. So you fret and fume over his coolness and neglect, and wonder and scold and cry. You thought because the Man of God had said a prayer or two over you and had joined what no man should put asunder, that it was final. You snubbed your husband, neglected his little fancies, did not even fatter his good taste enough to dress and look your best for him, did not try to please or entertain him. You paid no attention to his wishes, but crowded your own into the day until every hour was full of what you wanted to do. Be and by he saw that your love was just a selfish regard for your own interests. He found that you were not the woman of his dreams, but a very gordid, commonplace creature with no ideals beyond the fleshpots of Egypt. Then it was that you died—to your husband. He held the obsequies and went on living. Something fine and trusting went from him, but he still keeps going. You, however, are dead—to him. Who else is dead and does not know it? The man who has held sway as a public boss—a leader of organizations of men. His word had been enough to bring him his wish. But the time came when he declined in the hearts of his followers. They saw his power waning and sought another leader—someone who had influence with the Higher-Up. Finally it was decreed that the king should die—long liveth the king. Shorn of titles and influence, shorn of power and persuasion—he is dead. But he is slow to learn of his demise. He still believes he sways the people, that his word is yet law, that his banner rallies the hosts to his back and call. He died to his party, he died to the public policies, he died to privilege. But he doesn't know it. Who woman else is dead? The woman who has sacrificed home and husband, honor and friendship, for her social position. She has lied with diplomacy, she has perjured her soul to gain her ends. And by and by that fickle coterie of bosom friends who have called and flattered her aspirations show that she is no longer queen of the feast. Does she know that her reign is over? We die to our friends, our business associates, our dear ones through overt acts of disloyalty, or policies of self-serving. Yet we cannot even know by the telling that the ashes cover the spot where respect and affection once flamed bright.

THE CRY OF THE HEART By Nettie George Susady A day spent in the Court of Domestic Relations will bring tears to the eyes of anyone. There you will find pathos, comedy, defiance, vindictiveness and occasionally a genuine, old fashioned heartache. The cases of two women interested me especially because one worshiped at the shrine of Mammon, the other had chosen for her idol the Goddess of Love. Former made a pleasing picture as long as my looks were combined to her clothes and figure, but the moment I gazed into her eyes a feeling of revulsion seemed to permeate my whole being, for her eyes were the most cold A recital of her affairs seemed to verify the opinion that I had formed of her character—that was her greatest gift. She was the most everything with the least exertion to herself. All she demanded of her husband was money. She did not care to help with him again, but he must pay it for her. She was not bored by bore his name. She was not satisfied with the present amount of alimony and, while testifying, she gazed with envy at the woman she seemed much pleased with her whole appearance. She could not be blamed for that, for a love of the beautiful woman, for a bright birthlight; possession of the woman she loved. Hers is the liberty to enjoy the sunshine and the starlight. These, unclouded, are her natural heritage, and she is the source from a jealous, grasping world and wrestling her Gues from the strong arm squad of humanity that strives to put a price on the perfume of a wood violette, and the purity of the lily to its own profit. This woman seemed to feel that she was being defrauded and had an idea that the man should be made to pay because he could not give her the moon, and when she left the witness stand her eyes shone with a cold brilliance, for it had been decreed that the man should not pay. When my gaze rested upon the next woman, I thought of a dear friend of mine who would often quote from Grey's Elegy: "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness upon the desert air," for there sat a woman with the love of dancing in her eyes. A reading of her character would divulge the fact that she would sacrifice much for the man she loved. Her husband had been guilty of deviating from the path of fidelity and had been on probation for a year, but how proudly she told the judge that they had tied up the broken threads and were once more revolving in the old sweet joys of happy love. This woman had not asked for allmony, but the cry of her heart had been for love. She had given him her all and had wanted only love in return. It is the common lot of constancy to be treated cruelly, while the deepest love is bestowed upon the fickle nature, but or ever know that such a word can long know that as the bird answers the call of its mate, the ory of the heart will appeal first to him.

SIMMONS Pino Blue, Ark., April 15—Never before had Pino Blue enjoyed the distinction of hearing Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons. At the tabernaelle丰 3,000 of the citizens of this thriving and patriotic city listened to the mightiest orator of the Race as he addressed them on the great issues of the day, particularly those affecting the Race and the world war. Two hours later Mr. Simmons held the vast audience spellbound while he elucidated the meanings of some of the great problems of mankind. Never before have the people ever heard a exhibition of such profound logic, direct truth and soul inspiring philosophy. There never before assembled here a more enthusiastic multitude to hear the ever speaker of any race. The Race has always been the truth and there is not another such as Roscoe Conkling Simmons. His name is upon the lips of every man of Color of this city, the spoke feeling when he heard the Race from the South to the North. "My Race," he thundered, "will stop migrating to the North when the south becomes warm to stand guard at jail doors and arrest them. This is my prisoner. My people will be satisfied here when southern court houses become temples of justice. The Negro will quit migrating to the North when they have opportunities and facilities; when they are given a say in the government they help to support; when the Jim Crow signs disappear and they are given the all other races enjoy in this country. The general tone of the remarks directed the attention of his hearers to that fundamental truth, "The brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God." He shouted like a raving lion, "By the prayers of my mother and my father, the chains of slavery which once bound me have been broken and now I belong to the only Race in the world whose future lies before it and not behind it. My people, be satisfied. This is no day nor hour in which to be restless. The only friend the American white man has is the American Negro. He has remained here. He has nowhere else to go, and if he were to start anywhere else the American white man would head him off. I want to say to you that I had rather be an American Negro tonight, eating the bread of hope and drinking the water of faith, than to feast from the feet of kings or sit at the table with the kalser. Be patient, my people, in a time like this. If the American white man is to rise, the Colored men are to rise with him. We worked for him 250 years for nothing, and now he is to work for us for nothing for us. "The meeting was called to order by Prof. Richard E. Harrison, the famous musician, who was promoted by Dr. W. S. Jackson, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Judge J. E.

You Will Never Be In Doubt about Your Looks If You White Clubwoman Tells Take Up Dalton, Ga., April 19—When Mrs. A. L. Horner (white) of Baltimore lifted the old family homestead a few years ago, it appeared more of a liability than an asset. A section of the city covered what was once the farm; and nobody able to rent a big place to eat it. Taxes threatened to eat it up. The story of how a depreciated property became a paying investment; "I believed," she said, "that a large class of Negroes will care for a good house, and that the kind of Negroes the South needs cannot be reared in the pig-sty brand of houses we so often compel them to buy. We must pay, not only in the health charges and happiness of the tenants, but in dollars and cents for the landlord, to provide for them good houses at real estate prices, and to make good all that; and I've made good on every count." The big house was out into four bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen-living-room upliece. Each room has two windows, and gas in used for heating. "I made the kitchen as convenient and attractive as possible," she said. "I put in a kitchen dresser, porcelain cabinet, and a fireplace, and plly, built-in cool box, good kitchen stove, and pipe for gas stove, which most of them buy for summer use. I put in heating stoves in the bedrooms, "The upstairs apartments rent for $4.00 per week. Those downstairs bring $3.50, because the stairway cuts into the room from one room in each. So many folk come in and help me. I save fees, which must be borne in mind when I speak of profits. But I go there myself, and know every tenant, I know their troubles; and I know what they want. I wait for the rent. They always pay it later. I have hardly lost a dollar." "And it pays—in money?" "I clear ten per cent on my investment. Yet I rent three rooms and bath for less than two poor rooms rent for all about me. I have put $11,000 into four new houses on the vacant land. All the apartments are three-roomed; the house which is bad, morally and physically. This last investment pays as well as the first. My tenants stay with me. They take good care of the property, which are rarely empty, even for a few days." "The bathrooms hold them—those and the hot water. They do like to be clean. It's not to house them in its not to house them in our conscience with the notion that they're dirty and shiffless. Go out and get acquainted with your tenants, I say, and give them a chance to folk and in money, so you've tried and proved it for myself." JAMES COLE DEAD St. Louis, Mo., April 19.—James T. Cole, known all over the city among millionaires and the old select as plain disease at his home, 3955 Penny Avenue, last Friday night. He was buried from St. Elizabeth's church, 2721 Pine street.

To Real Estate Agents and Owners Moving Time Is Near As springtime has always caused people to seek new haunts, we predict that this year will be one of the greatest in history. Owing to the draft, many wives of the men for the National Army have gone to their relatives, and houses and flats will become vacant. You can't afford to have your property left idle, bringing you in no income. Other folks are seeking to buy. Labor is short; men are making as high as five, six, seven and eight dollars a day. This they know will not last forever, and they are making hay while the sun shines. They are being urged by their ministers and leaders to buy property. Thousands of out-of-town people will come here this summer—the majority to stay. They have money and will buy. They do not wish to wait until they reach the city to start to look for first class owners and agents. The real estate page of the Chicago Defender is the best medium to reach the people. Its wide circulation will bring you returns. It's a big opportunity that you are letting go to waste.

The month of April once more is here. The saddest of the year. Memory pain you touch daily. As the hour you passed away. You're not forgotten, my dearest one. Nor will you ever be. As long as life and memory last I will remember thee. I watched them mourn and mournured not, I watched you stay by day. And saw you slowly pine away. Yet in my heart, I often prayed That you might longer stay. But all through your suffering At times you smiled The smallest of every birth. Until at last, with broken heart, I saw you pine away. Your daughter, ELEANOR HOLLENSWORTH, Atlantic City, N. J. MRS. EVA MAE CHANDLER In loving memory of our darling daughter, who departed this life April, 1915, at Denver, Colo.

Chandler, Chicago, Ill. MRS. ALICE HEARD In loving memory of my dear mother, Mrs. Alice Heard, who departed this life April 14, 1917.

ALICE BOYSTER In memory of our dear sister, Mrs Alice Royster, who died April 20, 1917.

Through the courtesy of General Hutchison, who, for fifteen years was an officer in the Ninth Cavalry, the band of the 376th Franklin, which is commanded by Col. Franklin. A Democrat, stationed at Gamp Stuart, Newport News, recently gave a most successful community concert in the Hampton Institute gymnasium. George E. Duff, the conductor, handled the four bandsmen, eleven buglers with great skill and precision. Mr. Duff's program opened with the "Marsellise" and closed with the "Star-Spangled Banner." It included "The Champion Overture," a seated performance di Lammermoor," Gate City March, Hammondola," and a medley of American songs. Major Allen W. Washington, Hampton's commandant of cadets, welcomed the band, which is that of the well-known Illinois of old National Guard fame, to Hampton Institute and the community. CHICAGO DEFENDER NEWS SERVICE Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. April 19. It was perhaps the most unique treat of the week, and one which was greatly appreciated by the men of the Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth infantry, was the reception of a box of smokes" donated by the people of Chicago through a campaign instituted by Smith and the fish warden, and the Chicago Defender, which saw to it that the boys of the fighting Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth received the box of "makin' fire." The boys, one and all, wish to thank the boys of Chicago for this treat, and earnestly await the "duplication of the order."

Those who have seen the prods say it is a show here and elsewhere as a part of the "Loyalty of a Race" film. News From Company M, 365th Infantry Rockford, Ill. April 19—The non-comissioned officers of this company are shown great progress in all lines of military tactics. The first platoon, under command of Sergeant H. G. Sloan, is one of the banner platoons of the company. It may be well to add that Sergeant Sloan taught him the his kruggegie Institute. After teaching his twelfth Tuskegee he was called to Camp Grant, where he at once was made a noncommissioned officer. Since he has been in Company M he has made a good record in all military lines in the Army. He has led a range he led his company, making ten bullseye out of ten shots at 100 yards; scoring 67 points out of a possible 75 at 300 yards; also winning the regimental prize banner for the best quartette, in which he sang. He is training a baseball team in the company, which will compete with the other company teams.

HOSE of the Campbell Cause CURTAIN IS DRAWN, at least for the press on Joe" Campbell case. The death penalty has sustained by the higher court, nearly a half the execution and as many reprieves granted was attached to this case from the very beehive wife of the warden of the penitentiary at a "trusty" who enjoyed the privileges of the in greatest majority of the people who have given love the man innocent, but the courts held a different fight to, at least, save his life, and here sacrifice and adherence to a principle is displayed this day and time. Campbell, already a prison and friends to present his side of the story. Both his life is spared. Though many contributed the names of Miss Amelia Sears of the Women's City Barnett and Judge Robert McMurdy stand out of time or money was too great for these living mothers as you would have them do unto you," big, broad, generous souls have reached a high high rung on fortune's ladder. To snuff out there is a shadow of a doubt as to the victim's fair. If, as 'tis said, "time will tell," who know old freedom for Joe Campbell? MIGRATION AND ITS EFFECT VARIOUS ESTIMATES have been made of the number of people who have left the South for other parts of the country in the past eighteen months, the figures ranging from 500,000 to 2,000,000. Whatever the number, it was great enough to upset the labor field in this country and establish us as permanent factors in the economic world. Naturally, we say supply and demand regulate everything, and in a great measure, it is true, the war came and left a great gap in the industries of the North, East and West. When shops, mills and factories close for want of labor, the pocketbooks of the owners suffer, and when a man's pocketbook is touched everything else is forgotten in the mad rush to replenish it. With foreign immigration cut off and no prospect of being able to draw on foreign countries for labor for some years to come, the captains of industry LOWERED THEIR GLASSES, AND INSTEAD OF LOOKING OVER OUR HEADS, AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR YEARS. GAZED DIRECTLY AT US AND, CATCHING OUR LYE, BECKONED TO US TO COME TO THEM, SHOWING A PICTURE THE WHILE THAT LURED US ON. THOUSANDS LEFT THEIR SUNNY SOUTHERN HOMES with bitter-sweet, mostly the bitter, memories. Anxiety was felt on all sides. The employers of the rest of the country were experimenting with what the South has pronounced a failure. They were experimenting, not because they wished to prove that the South was in error, but because it was either the black workmen or no workmen at all, and between the two evils they wisely chose to have workmen. The black workmen left the South with trembling and fear. They were going—they didn't know where—among strange people, with strange customs. The people who claimed to know best how to treat them painted frightful pictures of what would befall the migrants if they left the land of cotton and sugar cane. But they left in droves, are still leaving, and only a few have returned. The effect has been to paralyze the industries of the South, while the other sections of the country have prospered. The experiment proved a success. NECESSITY MADE THE WHITE, AND THE BLACK WORK SIDE BY SIDE WITHOUT FRICTION, A FEAT THE SOUTH SAID COULD NOT BE PERFORMED. There is no denying the fact that prejudice is rife everywhere; but we, like other animate persons and things, follow the line of least resistance. What has been established for several hundred years cannot be broken down in a day. There is a long fight still ahead of us—a fight with brains, not brawn. Our entrance into the economic world sounds the death knell of discrimination and oppression. We must hold fast every inch we have gained, remembering always the many are judged by the few in our case. There is such a thing as STAYING IN ONE PLACE TOO LONG, and while the rolling stone never gathers any moss, when it stops rolling IT IS MORE POLISHED THAN WHEN IT BEGAN. The scattering of the South's shaded population all over the country is a real blessing. Every day fresh evidence of this fact is apparent. THE WHITE MAN SEEKS THE FARTHEST CORNERS OF THE GLOBE IF HE THINKS HE CAN BETTER HIMSELF. WHY SHOULD WE NOT DO LIKEWISE? Close of the Campbell Case THE CURTAIN IS DRAWN, at least for the present, in the famous "Chicken Joe" Campbell case. The death penalty had been imposed by the lower and sustained by the higher court, nearly a half dozen dates had been set for the execution and as many reprieves granted. More than ordinary interest was attached to this case from the very beginning. The victim was the wife of the warden of the penitentiary at Joliet, the suspect man a "trusty" who enjoyed the privileges of the institution. It is safe to say a great majority of the people who have given the matter any attention believe the man innocent, but the courts held a different view, and the man was doomed. Then came the fight to, at least, save his life, and here a picture of loyalty, self-sacrifice and adherence to a principle is displayed that seldom finds place in this day and time. Campbell, already a prison convict, needed money, needed friends to present his side of the story. Both came, with the result that his life is spared. Though many contributed their mite to the cause, the names of Miss Amelia Sears of the Women's City Club, Attorney F. L. Barnett and Judge Robert McMurdy stand out in bold relief. No sacrifice of time or money was too great for these living examples of the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" creed. Little wonder the big, broad, generous souls have reached a high plane in life's fame and a high rung on fortune's ladder. To snuff out a life, even legally, while there is a shadow of a doubt as to the victim's guilt seems anything but fair. If, as 'tis said, "time will tell," who knows but that the future will hold freedom for Joe Campbell?

This very fact makes American people risk all on the turn of a card—if they win, all the light is commended all over again. Peace of the man who lives within his means, who if he man is not a man, who if he man who prepares for the provisional real enjoyment out of life. Secretary McAdoo, as he said: African people are not sufficiently aroused to the saving, that is of superlative importance is to be made to the man who is taking, food and fuel, and of every other thing who the available supplies, materials and resources AMERICANS AS A CLASS are the greatest spendthrifts in the world. The real value of a dollar is unknown to them. The coin of the realm comes easy, and goes just as easy. The mad rush for gold that is a part and parcel of the American dream is not only for what it will buy; for the comforts, necessities, pleasures it will bring. While we have a goodly number of poor always with us, they are not the kind of poor found in older countries. With the exception of those who are old, sick, crippled or mentally incapacitated, few can be found incapable of at least caring for themselves, for there is work enough for everybody. There is nothing quite so uncertain as life. Fortunes are made and lost in a short space of time. This very fact makes American people more or less if they lose, the light is common to them, and something. The man who lives within his means, who he makes two dollars a day saves one—the man who risks only what he can afford to lose; in other words, the man who prepares for the proverbial "rainy day"—is the only person to be mentored out of life. Secretary McAdoo hit the nail on the head when he said: "The American people are not sufficiently aroused to the necessity of economy and saving. What is of superlative importance is that our people shall be impressed with the necessity of economizing in the consumption of goods and services, and that other thing which constitutes a drain upon the available supplies, material resources of the country. Everything wasted now is little short of criminal." The war is teaching us a lesson in thrift. The value of a dollar is becoming more and more appreciated. We are beginning to save, and to enthuse over our savings, due to the fact that in making our own nest egg we are adding more and more value to our life. And it takes some great calamity to arouse a nation to action. And the war is not fail to leave good things in its wake, and one of the legends left to Americans is the habit of saving and knowing the true value of a dollar. Economy may be divided into two classes. One is sane and right, and the other is crazy and wrong. Patriotic economy is sane and right. It means that we are making a conscious and communal of food natural products, health labor, energies and lives. Mental economy, which is nothing but a foolish notion that one must save everything, even to the denial of sufficient and proper food and clothing and reasonable amusement, is crazy and wrong. It means a lowering of the standard of living, making one less efficient physically and mentally, crushing the spirit and the will to do. One must be the master, not the servant, of the dollar.

Secretary McAdoo hit the nail on CHICAGO DEFENDER CHICAGO APRIL 20,1918 OUR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STATUS "German has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in America; whether right, as America conceives it, shall be right; so she conceives it. She shall determine the destinies of mankind. There is, therefore, but one response possible from force to the utmost, force without stint, force without unphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust."—Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States Liberty Army and War Anniversary address, Baltimore, MD, April 6, 1913. "Come, let us reason together." This is going to be one of those "so different" stories this week. The very cordial expressions that are coming in this department of the Deforester are very different. This is not a "personal" department. If we cannot in a measure express the thoughts and feeling of the people then our purposes fall. Readers of the Deforester are not going to press their opinion as to whether we are hitting the mark. Criticism is welcomed, favorable and unfavorable—particularly unfavorable. If there are people who are giving us a square deal, we must know; if there are those who are not acting square, let us know that. If you have any ideas for betterment, send them in to the writer, perhaps we can get our "heads together." Now, perhaps you are wondering what all this has to do with the subtitles above. Well, were about up to the point that this is to be one of those "so different" stories. Coming from this source, it may carry a point of thinking for some one, or at least discussion. The writer is either a minister nor a faddist; he pleases us a minister or a faddist, according to accepted standards. These are times, really times, and the great big outstanding fact is that a lot of us are behind the times, or have "wandered far away from home." There is no denying this fact, and if we are honest with ourselves and our God, we'll admit it. In looking over some old histories of our government, the other time and on down to the times of Abraham Lien, and a little beyond, it was noted that the words of all the old fathers of the Republic had a ring of vital spirituality and trust in God that is seldom heard expressed in like manner these days. Here's what old Dan Webster said on patriotism. You know, Dan was a regular orontical "guy" in his day, that "had 'em all a listenin". He said: "mean to stand upon the constitution, and not other platform. I shall know but on country. The ends I aim at shall be my country's, my God's and truths. I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American; and I intend to perform the duties incumbent upon me in that character, to the end of my career. I mean to do this with absolute disregard of personal consequences. Let us keep a Constitution to stand on. I have everyone be steadfast in performing the duties of an American citizen." We don't hear much talk like that these days, do we? But we've got to come to an in fact. Right up to face the face of what we all of this change? Suppose we could get that manipulator and juggler of words, Billy Sunday, to come out and inform the Brotherhood of Man" with "absolute disregard of personal consequences"? There's a bunch of us which have put our own face on the "posse." But Billy is repenting, we hope he sent an appeal for a day of prayer the other day, and this is what he said: "We are reaching a crisis on the western front. The cause of liberty, freedom, justice and Christianity since the war began. Above everything else, as a Christian nation we should look to God for his aid. Let us confess our sins as individual beings, and we fought to win through our own military prowess and have forgotten the strong arm of the Lord." We can fight to win through our own military prowess and have forgotten the strong arm of the Lord. We can fight to win through our own military prowess and have forgotten the strong arm of the Lord. We can attempt to show facts away, but they remain facts, nevertheless. The Christian Sciences have made this statement editorially recently: "The Selfishness and Sensibility of the allied countries will have to be cast into the oven before the Central powers could resist the social slavery, which the Central powers would substitute for freedom, can be struck down, and the furnace of purification is the source of the front and the desolation at home." LYNCHERS There they are! the cowards; lean, low-down and long, yelling like a pack of starving hounds. White-lieder, as yellow as saffron tea, with gizzards for hearts, these lynchers be: human monkeys, illiterate brutes, a howling, damnable mess of lazy inouts. Savages? No, devils, and the cowards that would not dare to meet their victim single-hand. Savages would boath to have them in their band. They represent the scum of the human boiling pot; the slowly degeneracy of once human going to rot. A menace to the progress of all that is good and true, a blot upon civilization; a menace to our land, our land stirred from coast to coast; our boys, black and white, forming a crown out of both rich and poor to lecan the brutish Hum from our door. And we have given to the world this our cry—For democracy we fight and even die! And these lynchers, before that echo dies, have burned at the stake and lynched a soul, saying in deeds, "It's a lie." While we feel the truth, we are not alone. We are not alone, also reap." So, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers all, we can drink this cup, though bitter as gall, knowing that in the turn of night from day, that the thing at the top cannot always stay. For this we pray. P. O. Employes' Salaries A BILL before the senate carries a 15 per cent increase to postal employees, which accounts for the broad smile on the face of your letter carrier. The postal service is one branch of the government that renders service that meets the approval of the most unreasonable chronic kickers. The American public does not mind paying the price of the service to wait and surely the small increase asked is well deserved and should be granted without a dissenting voice. More of our men and women are employed in the different branches of the postal system than in all other government activities combined. Another feature of the bill, Section 9, authorizes the Postmaster General to "relocate employees in the postal service who have entered or may enter the military or naval service to the positions and at the salary to which they would have been automatically promoted if they had continued in the service, provided they are physically and mentally qualified." This permits the man who enters the military or naval service to go to the front with the comfort of the war. There is nothing too good for those who risk their lives for the honor of their country, and Uncle Sam, in carring for his men at home and abroad, is building our government on the rock of Gibraltar. THE GREAT MEXICAN DRIVE is in full force, and Paris is yet a few miles away. Every inch of ground taken has cost the kaiser many lives. How long they can continue to be mowed down by our incessant fire remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Before they get through with this affair, there won't be enough white flags in Germany to go round. DON'T FORGET that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is your organization, and whether it accomplishes its purpose or not depends upon the amount of support and encouragement it receives from you and every other beneficiary. THE NEW LIBERTY LOAN is going over the top in double quick time. When you buy these bonds you are not only helping your country, but making a safe investment. If you have not bought, buy now; if you have, buy more. ONLY A FEW landlords have the temerity to raise rents this spring in the face of the high cost of living, together with the scarcity of coal. Well, war has its advantages, after all. By Ben Baker "Thy Kingdom Come" "God Ja: Love" For corroboration of this statement, if you have not you are asked to read Private Peat's story in a recent number of magazine articles. Spiritual Forces Touched Loose Spiritual forces are being turned loose now according to Hoyle, and they will soon crystallize into action and expulsion that will startle the old materialist world of people, and the people of many other nations, have been working along for so long. Things will be what they need, and the people will be the deeds; men and women will be the real courage of their convictions, and the democracy preached not will be democracy is not Democracy, Justice is not Freedom, that has any hindrances, or requires any apologies. Some day before long the people will be where in a place of vantage that will make their voices heard who will speak these truths "with absolute disdain" in consequence. Until that day, in God's presence, we hear is necessarily mckeyer—a recognized fact by many thoughtful people who, with us, are praying for the day of real righteousness to come. As an indication of this type of sentiment coming, the Detroit Free Press said editorially, "With 100,000 Negro leaders and leaders decoyed to win the war, and Colored women as busy in the Red Cross activities as the white, it is unpatriotic for employers to discriminate against, or for women to refuse association in about Colored women, and that the gospel trusts." You know it. Now This Is—Well At every turn of the read our patriotism is put to the acid test! The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune, in a wonderfully frank editorial from a Southern Raco paper, under the cap "The Savannah Journal Infotainment" describes how a big burly white policeman of that town and the rabble slackers jeered at our patroltie boys as they walk down the street and that may maintain the opportunity for that class of degenerates to scout at us! Says the editor: "How bitter and languishing the thought that Justice waiteth, sleeping. The uncountable policemen, feeling the throbstom and appointment and conscious of their helplessness, dogged our soldiers on the streets in the early morning, while they OPENED NOT THEIR MOUTHS IN PROTEST OR COMMENT." Further comment is unnecessary right before enough food for thought there to hold us. "The American Greed" The prize of $1,000 offered by the city of Buffalo for "The American's Creed," was won by William Tyler Wagner, won by Ruth Rights, Md., near Washington. It reads: "The American's Creed—believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the people; a sovereign nation of many States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and freedom; sacrificed their lives and fortunes. It therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Conformity; to obey its laws; to respect its life; and to defend it against all enemies." That may be all well and good, Deeds must follow words. There is a picture being distributed over the door, one painted Colored Man No Shacker; one painted every home, one telling his sweetheart goodbye as he marched off to France beneath the folds of the Stars and Stripes. That man was always every home, office, store; should be to every white person in America, as a silent protest against injustice, and as a silent lesson of what true patriotism is in this "land of the free." We have the soul of the American people. They must have their souls reached if they would survive. For the "period of the war," if we could get every person in America to momentarily attend at the noon hour every day there would and will be something doing: "Thy Kingdom Come" "Thy Kingdom Come"; let the reign of Divine Truth. Life and Love be established in me and rule of me; all of me may The Word enrich the affection of all mankind and soaken them. These are times for action. These are times for realities, not shamming or mockery. WE MUST ALL WORK FOR US AND WE WILL GET SOMEWHERE Now This Is—Well! "Thy Kingdom Come" R. II. B. By Chas, T. Magill New York, N. Y., April 19—Again and again, has the question of Red Cross nurses been discussed. Lately the comments have been more numerous, the antithem much-mooted question of the real attitude of the War Department and the Red Cross society toward registered, graduate trained nurses of our Race. There are some, notably those connected with Red Cross work, who look on the question lightly, assuming—some really asserting—that our trained nurses, who really desire it, are also act as full-fledged Red Cross nurses. On the other hand, there are those—and they greatly outnumber the former—who claim that a distinct line is the reference for our trained Red Cross nurses. Our trained nurses solitely barred from becoming full-fledged Red Cross nurses. They reentend—and bitterly, too, the invitation sent out, clinched by some to have been intended, primarily for trained workers, as canteen workers, (canteen workers, merely waitresses, etc.). So great has the discussion, and so bitter has the feeling against this apparent injustice come to be, that we determined to ascertain as much of the truth con- Prominent Person Interviewed With this in mind, an interview was obtained with a prominent person, who is in authoritative position to thoroughly review the person interviewed, however, for various reasons, demanded the name be not divulged. The proofs of the facts learned in the interview are on file, and were the writer; as a consequence, the statements herein are absolutely true. The first thing the person interviewed under that no consideration was the members of the National Association of Colored Nurses, an organization composed of more than 300 registered, and Red Cross work, unless permitted to come Red Cross nurses in the same manner and under the same condition as any other trafficked nurse. And this was the case, our trained nurses are not allowed to The person interviewed saw no reason why any trained nurse, however three years she may be, after spending years of arduous work of a strenuous kind, and requiring a high school training before the hospital course can even be started, then the passing of a nurse, who is required to sing the right to practice as a registered nurse, should be permitted merely to fold brazuca and cut handgauges; the limit of their present usefulness is. Promises from the A. Delano Last August a plan was sent broadcast to nurses the country over to join the Red Cross society and go to France. It was said many would be required to do hospital work at home, but he feared not enough nurses could be secured. Bellving it a patriotic duty to offer the services of the National Association of Colored Nurses to the Red Cross society, colored nurses to the Red Cross society, whether they were wanted, a letter was sent to Jane A. Delano in Washington, D.C. chairman of the American National Red Cross Association, requesting the nurses of the National Association of Colored Nurses would be accepted into the Red Cross society; and, if acceptable, in an as individuals, or as an association? The letter brought a prompt and rather lengthy reply from Miss Delano, couched in polite diplomatic language, and had no call from the War Department, was not ready, as yet, for our nurses. However, it was thought that a base nurses, Iowa, (keep in mind the letter was written last August) and that 100 nurses could probably be used. The Red Cross went so far as to request that nurses act as chief nurse at this base hospital. The name of a nurse qualified to act as chief nurse, and the names of 150 nurses who were willing to go to a base hospital of Des Molines, to France, or anywhere in the world they might be wanted was the name of the blank was returned to this young lady who was to act as chief nurse with the same name and return to the Cross Hospital he placed there on file. This was done; and there the matter has rested. Gorgas At a meeting of the National Association of Colored Nurses, last February, some of the more militant members of the National Association of Colored Nurses, their request made in August, and the vague promises of Jane A. Delano, suggested communicating direct with the Corps, head of the Army Nursing Corps, to theude of that branch of Red Cross nursing; and requesting admission into the field, through that medium, with a prompt reply. Unlike the lengthy one from the Red Cross association chairman, the reply from the letter sent to the university-general was exceedingly brief; and information that "there is no opening in the Army Nurse Corps for Colored nurses" being the main thing in the field, E. D. Thompson, Supt. Army Nurse Corps. Since then the entire matter has lain dormant. The National Association of Colored Nurses has held all educational, registered, graduate trained nurses, ready and willing to go anywhere as Red Cross nurses, and help the country win the war. When will their services be accepted? EDITOR'S MAIL White Man Speaks EDITOR'S MAIL White Man Speaks Against Southern Curse M. T. Dorn, Fla., April 13, 1918. To the Editor of the Defender. Dear Sir; I think it was Lincoln's sire, William W. Seward, who was reporter, the man who spells Negro with two gs can ever be elected President of the United States. I am sure about the fulfillment of this prophecy. I am sure, however, that the word "nigger" is getting increasingly offensive, not only to the best representatives of the Race, but to the aggravations of white friends. One of the aggravations was the calling of Negro soldiers "nigger" by the city police. One trouble as to the use of this offensiveness is that the police are not in talking to each other. Would not be he well if the Defender and other Race papers carried on a crusade against the use of this word? Let the poor be told that by this title and make their protest against it being used to them. The Chicago Tribune and many other prominent papers now use the capital N to describe Negroes in tests. These may seem small matters, but they count in self-respect and help in the uplift of the people. DINGAN C. MILNER In order to do any work, to fight any battle, to accomplish anything worth while in life, there is a certain amount of knowledge we must possess at the very beginning of our undertaking. For many years we may more, we might say for centuries, the laity or non- laity, unarmed people have been taught and lead to believe that a bulbary Tuberculosa — Lung Consumption, is due and was due to the Grieching of cedar — to the lack of A. E. H. exercise and also a lack of deep breath or inhalation inhalation time, that only a certain class of people had consumption; and that one of the best ways to get rid of consumption is by having some young healthy woman feel reasonably sure to be cured of consumption. On the other hand, even up to this day of enlightenment and living in a well-approved well informed people advice who have consumption, oftime in a advanced stage, to get married or in order to cure a cure; and many of the laity's friends who have consumption, and is so fortunate as to get married; and if she is unfortunate enough to become a woman, that she is absolutely nure of a cure. A more damaging and pernicious teaching cannot be found in the hispanic family, than the above mentioned predisposition of young lives have been wrecked, more sorrow, more poverty, distress and suicide have been inflicted upon the hu-婆 family, the misinformed and misleading teaching them to subject appertaining to medicine, ex- DETROITERS PAID TO HEAR HIM AND THEY WERE SATISFIED,TOO Mr. Editor: A Detroit weekly sheet becomes a critic of Col. Simmons' second visit to our city. Pathogoras lodge, F. and A. M., brought Col. Roscee Simmons here the first time and he paid 50 cents to hear him. His second coming was under the auspices of Eureka Commandery and again we paid 50 cents and enjoyed it. And I say right here that if he comes again, he will be heard. That a man of such local standing, fearlessness and blessed with a gift of divine eloquence, should be criticized by a dodger which is never read by our citizens of this city is grievous. We men; we want leaders; no knockers. If one can't boost, please don't knock. As a Race we have enough knocks from without, and the knocks that anybody has petty jealousy or malicious hate, be big enough to keep it to himself. The holy writ has said that a prophet is without honor save in his own country. But the Race is not without honor. Anybody has petty jealousy or malicious hate. What I do wish to criticize is this: We didn't have a place large enough nor elaborate enough for so great a man, and if he comes again we will try to have the biggest place we can have. We have all insisted things prided by our people at this date are, first, the man, and next the press—Col. Simmons and the Chicago Detender. We didn't have a size truck that it would take to haul Col. Simmons' brains, if they were in material form, you could easily put the local sheet, its plant, composing room, devil and editor, and then put at an angle to 45 degrees with the sheet.

Some men are so obsessed with the civil spirit or so possessed with the moral sense of the policy, that if you have a venereal infection, especially gonerae in an active stage—that if you marry or cohabit with a clean or a virgin woman, or with a gonerae or gonerae infection. The public must be taught and enlightened on these two evil practices, if we hope to accomplish much in protecting and preventing venereal infection. But back to our subject of tuberculosis. What Is Tuberculosis? Suffice for us at this writing to define Pulmonary Tuberculosis as an acute or chronic infection of the lungs, caused by the lungs, due primarily to a small, known as the Tubercle Bacilli of Koch. This germ is too small to be seen with the naked eye but with the trained eye, can be seen in microscopes, the tubercle bacilli can be read and counted. This germ destroys the tissues of the lungs, shuts off the blood supply to a certain portion of the lungs, causes degeneration or necrosis. This process produces irritation and this in turn produces cough and later on, you have expectation of pus from the lungs by the necrotic or rotten tissue. None of the above mentioned bad symptoms are due primarily to "cold" as has been thought and believed by the Tubercle Bacilli, the little devils that do the harm, and when we are able to so reconstruct and build up the tissue of the body so as to overcome the disease, we are able to tubercle bacilli; and when by rest and good food, plenty of fresh air and sunlight—and above all—ease of mind or peace of mind, we can so strengthen our immune system, it is known as mixed infection, we are on the road to a sure cure; and, we are not justified in felicitating ourselves that we are sure of a cure, until the above mentioned conditions have been met. Local Treatment If we have thoroughly grasped the above laid-down-propositions we can readily see that the various applications made to the chest for the purpureous worthless—in fact, they do harm; they disturb the slick one often from a restful, peaceful sleep. All the antiphosphingite, all the poitices of flaxseed, all the various ignorant applications to the chest for the purpose of "drawing out cold" are useless and often harmful. The wearing of red flannel underwear with the moist with the mild thing is being done for the slick person. Some people have been foolish enough to apply garlic or cow manure to the chest for the sole purpose of "drawing out the cold and ease the misery." Must Not Marry If you have consumption, by all means do not get married, until you have been cured of your consumption for two years, and then, not until you have been cured of your chest and sputum. If you are married and have tuberculosis in the slightest degree, do not become pregnant, because by so doing you not only endanger your own life, but greatly increase your risk of infection but at the same time, place upon it a permanent handicap. If you have consumption do not practice long walks to the lake or to the river, take precautions to accept under the absolute instructions of your physician. We mean a physician educated along the lines of your trouble. Some physicians will tell you to take long walks and get out in the air, but they do not take long walks, nor how much you should exercise or when not to exercise. If your lungs are diseased do not take deep breathing — inhalation — except upon taking long walks, nor how much you should exercise or when not to exercise. If your lungs are diseased do not take deep breathing — inhalation — except upon taking long walks, nor how much you should exercise or when not to exercise. If your lungs are in a healthy state. If you are strong, it will be well maintained — in deep breathing, to take long walks, but how much you have tuberculosis. Your own common sense should make this very plain and intelligible to you.

Hoe and daughter, Irean, are sick. *This Thirsty Man* on our Race left New Orleans, LA, today to make McCloud their future home. Owing to the fact that here in Chicago so many of our high school students are taking the two-year high school course that it will be necessary to enroll in boys and girls to double their ranks in our four year course, in order that we may be enough men and women to take up the professions which require four years to lit them for these higher lines, the southern mothers to continue to hold that position their children, that they may manage them as they have always done in the past; continue to make the sacrifices; do not let the $$ or $6 per week be spent on the children; do not deter you from shaping their ideas; it is on you our hopes rest; if you fail us we are lost. I am just from the South about one year. All of my children are in school—there being six them. AN ARDENT READER.
