PORO COLLEGE HAS FIRE
St. Louis, Mo., May 3.—Fire which broke out early one morning last week in the large garage at Poro College, 3100 Pine street, destroyed two trucks, 300 passenger cars, hacked and much raw raw meat, the fire that can run into the thousands. No one is thought to have been injured. The flames gained much headway and would have soon spread to the larger building, but for the prompt arrival of firemen.
Mr. and Mrs. Malone, who operate the Poro factory, are among the wealthiest as well as among the most philanthropic people in the country. They are also the most likely to learn of anything which might be called unfortunate. They are creating a large fire-proof building in the west end, which is nearing completion, and which will furnish commodious quarters for the workers. It is said there will be rooms and a theater in the structure, which is of the best brick, and trimmed with stone and will cost over $50,000 for the installations. It will, without doubt, take the form of the Race's business structures and suffer in comparison with none.

WINNING A NAME FOR HIS RACE
Lafayette (Ind.) Morning Journal, April 27, 1918.
Roscoe Conkling Simmons, possibly the greatest orator of the Colored race, faced an audience in the central Y. M. C. A. last fall, and was the captain of the lecture room. A chorus of singers delighted those present with their offerings and were frequently enclosed. The audience was noticing the invocation, introduced by May George R. Durgan, who, in addition to holding out the keys of the city to the distinguished guest, gave a address in which he urged young men of the Colored race to become efficient in the trades and professions, intimating that far too many of them were with a weekly wage and thus under the mark of present day needs.
But the speaker, a man of more than national reputation, what of him? Being a nephew of the late Booker T. Washington, may have had something to do with the destiny of this great man. He is an orator almost unexcused for his journal. Many men were present at the night heard the Hon. Roscoe Corkling, for whom Mr. Simmons was evidently named. They have listened to James G. Blaine. They have listened to John F. Kennedy and other renowned orators of recent years, and without hesitation pronounce this man, representative of a race once in chains, the equal any one of them in that power and that win the plaudits of men. The address was simply masterful. His tribute to the flag was a lively picture never equaled in Lafayette pilgrimage to the tomb of Lincoln was a flight of oratory that almost unconsciously lifted men and their feet. He is a patriotic effort, and as he manfully attracts the best among all, the needs of doing an ammount of good hard to estimate. In him are seen the possibilities of the liberalism need him. Our country is stronger because he lives.

Prof,Reid Is Still Hiding in North Carolina Wood
Wilson, N. C. May 3—The general uproar which was caused recently by the actions of Prof. Reid, who allowed Superintendent Coon, (white), to slap the face of Miss Mary Euell, a school teacher, is gradually fading.

Citizens have flatly refused to send their children to school if such a man as Prof. Reid is retained as principal. O. Taylor were before the Mayor's Court last week for failing to send their children to school. Superintendent Coon, the face-slapping monarch, was the prosecuting witness.

INNOCENT MAN FREED FROM PENITENTIARY
Board of Pardons Releases J. K. Smith, Victim of Circumstantial Evidence
Chicago people and the country at large are just over the strain of anxiety about the Campbell case, and the universal protest against hanging a man on purely circumstantial evidence, and the awful danger of that kind of justice. The Illinois state board of pardons on Mr. Smith has imposed action, recommended to Governor Lowden the immediate pardon of John K. Smith, who has been a convict at the courthouse. The ground that he is an innocent man Governor Lowden issued the pardon and Smith returned to Chicago Thursday to brokens down in health and spirit.
Smith was the victim of circumstantial evidence. A little 2-year-old Orneta Dorn, who was kidnaped over three months after her parents, the police and friends searched Chicago and the state in vain. Finally suspicion fell on Smith who lived in a flat in the Bronx and who was seen walking on the street that day with the child. To him that meant nothing, as he knew the child and her people, but to the police who had arrested. Then circumstances piled up, and, aided by careless swearing, a case was made out, and Smith was sentenced to penitentiary for ten years for kidnaping. Two years later a woman visited Chicago with the baby, and friends of the child's parents thought they recalled the events. The secretly arranged and the parents were notified. They waited with heart-breaking anxiety to see if indeed their child was living. Soon the woman appeared and, after a fight, almost crazy with joy, rushed for her baby and folded the child in her arms. The father was equally happy over the recovery of his child, but he also depended on the police to explain her connection with the case.

If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is authorized to make public the following telegram addressed to Governor Tenn. of the State of Tennessee to President Memphis, Tenn., secretary of the Law and Order League, which was organized two months ago, following Eustace Burns burning, to put a stop to lynching.
"San Antonio, Tex. April 23, 1918. Hon. Tom C. Rye, Governor, Nashville, Lexington, Tenn. April 23, cannot but sow disunion among our people, underline the morale of our Race troops and propaganda among Colored people for food production and conservation. It will, therefore, tend to prolong the war and increase the price in dead and living men. I have been visiting the Texas camps and witnessed the self-sacrificing work of our splendid young men who are strangely different from the strange our own people will not help them by exercising the self-control necessary to give a Race man charged with laws provide. The government of the United States is controlled by southern men. It has called the Race to the decembers and will demand that a Race thus honored shall be granted the justice of a fair trial when accused of crime. We know that when guilty there is no doubt that the unfortunate young men ofington lynchers cannot have realized the extent to which their act furnishes aid and comfort to the enemy. as secrecy League, organized to stop lynching, I urge you to issue a proclamation to our people pointing out the treasonable actions of the President of the United States as commander of the nation to reinforce your words, for it is plain we are with a nation-wide increase of this crime.

Grand Reception
Assemblyman
Whitman an
Brooklyn, N. X, May 3.—It was a unique gathering that crowded Fleet Street Memorial First A. M. E. church on January 4, 2015, when 25, when the North Carolina tendered our only Assemblyman of New York state, Hlon. Edward A. Johnson, a reception and entertainment man, Governor Charles S. Whitman, and other prominent men were present. As Governor Whitman and his staff were ushered into the church at 3:10 p.m. the next day, the organization, who had met him earlier in the evening at a Manhattan hotel, the crowd gave three rousing cheers were heard for a city blitz and it is estimated ten minutes before the ovation ceased. After things had quieted to some extent, the large audience, rising in a body, sane the "Star Spangled Banner," and it jointly pleased the Governor immensely.
Wiley G. Overton, chairman of the arrangement committee introduced Alfred A. Browne, chairman of organization, who in a few brief, butitting remarks, lauded the members for their support in helping to secure the most prestate to honor one of their own sons, the Hon. George H. White, ex-member of Congress from North Carolina, new Philadelphia, as master of ceremonies. The ex-Congressman seemingly took advantage of this opportunity as master of ceremonies to say things that would perhaps years, for when he had warmed up to the occasion, after saying all the good and only things he would add, the Governor, "Democracy," or rather called "Democracy" took a tremendous slump. Jim Crowism, segregation, lynching and the welfare of the Race fared alike.
Turning and facing Governor Whitman, Mr. White said: "You have been a leader in many ways; when you were district attorney, you were New York County, you saw fit to have a Colored man as assistant district attorney. Through your efforts you have made a difference with the Fifteenth infantry; and more have you done, Governor, and I believe there is good presidential tradition. Thunderous applause greeted the last part of Mr. White's remarks, continuing, the speaker called attention to the representation every race and man of color in Congress, except our Race. He said, "We have a Congressmen in Washington, two United States Senators, and looking sharply at Governor Whitman, Mr. White said would have a Supreme Court judge, 100."
Governor Whitman Speaks
Governor Whitman, the next speaker, was introduced by Mr. White. The Governor, in his usual way, praised the Earle and said they were as good Americans as they produced, and that he was much more interested in their activities. He added if at any time he would be of service he would gladly do so. His respect for Assemblyman Johnson was the genuine type of man, and "he was the Whitman, the "more Johnsons in the assembly the better." In conclusion, he encouraged letter from Congress of the Fifteenth Regiment, New York Infantry, as it was formerly called, stating that on the day of other letters, the Fifteenth boys had given the trenches and were overjoyed at the opportunity of seeing actual service.
W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of Bridge Street church, was the next speaker. He stated that he was glad of the opportunity of meeting the Assemblyman and Governor for the first time. The Reverend quoted history of the Race soldier from the spitting of the blood of Crispus Attacks on Boston Commons, to the affair at Cazill, and further stated that the present war would be waged for a long time, and that his history repeats, it would not end until the Fifteenth and other Race regiments helped build the road.

Wells, from the seventeenth Assembly district and former major of the Twenty-seventh district, next speaker of the evening, spoke well of the Race soldiers, saying that he admired them for their valor and their heroic Americanism. The Assemblyman appeal to buy bonds for the Third Liberty loan. Ex-Commissary White then introduced Assemblyman Johnson, the great of the evening, who responded to the various toasts given him in a creditable manner. One of his statements, the ace most, was that as he took the only Race assemblyman at Albany he took it for granted that he represented all the people instead of just the people who made the district which he was elected from.
In conclusion, he laid great stress upon what the future would bring for the great conference when the spot was being divided, the "Negro would get a square deal, that justice he is outfitted to out to which he is outfitted, that he was Mr. Johnson, the word "Democracy" meant nothing; and the Christianity of the American people would be tested as he gave a great gout when he took his seat.

Jewish Tenants War on Rent
HAISE—Our People Submit
New York, N.Y. X, Y. March—Although the rents paid by the landlords in ways bordered on downright robbery, many of them have received notice of increases, effective May 1.
The general rents in rents throughout Greater New York on all classes of people.
The attitude of the Jews, who have paid more than normal rentals, on the landlords in the building forming out in Brownville, a thickly populated section of that race in Brooklyn, of a Consumera' and Rent pay increased rentals. The Jewish women of the league plan to boycott every landlord who causes evictions for rent to pay the increased rentals, and they demand that renters learn to be likewise militant, high rents and more high rents will be their lot.
The women of Harlem need to be those Brownville women are for fearing. Who will attempt it in Harlem?
The Chicago Defender Owned
Entirely By R. S. Abbott
New York, we have been told that the Defender is controlled by the Hearst Snyderite.
This idea, prevalent in New York, probably arose through the similarity of heading formerly used by this paper to that used by the Hearst papers, then, the opening of an office in New York, where the Defender is at once mobile seen on the streets each week, may have served to keep alive the rumor through our show of prosperity, the Hearst Court is at once apparent when we meet the Chicago Examiner, a Hearst newspaper printed in Chicago, early in March applied to the Superior Court of Robert S. Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender, from using a headline which the Examiner claims was in the form and which led people to believe the defender to be associated with them.
Mr. Abbott immediately changed the headline to the present one. Certainly we have evidence that the World's Greatest Weekly has no connection with any other concern.

Theatrical Review
"Branded," With Abbie Mitchell in the Stellar Role, Is Drawing Big at Avenue
"You can't judge an actor by his size; the biggest drum in the band plays the fewest notes."
"Branded" is the title of a strong dramatic play which is being offered by the great Lafayette Stock company this, their third week here. It is a play of the most that type of fense situations and gripping interest. It is extremely well presented, and the climaxes, of which there are many, are brought in a manner so convincing that the large audiences are held spellbound. Talented Abbie Mitchell, in the character of the daughter of a dissolute woman.

Officer Merrill, head of the squad of "finnest," has the classy distinction that is always a part of the character work of the officers. Brandon Mores, and he is supported in the line by Officers Doyle and Murphy, played by Walter Robinson and David K. Brisbane. Tom Brown as Douglas is well fitted, and he is well fitted. He has delightful moments in the part cast for him, which relieve the only quiet spots in the play. Branded is well worth seeing, and the play is worth seeing, and young, for men and women.
The Grand
Anita Bush and company is the old feature here for the week, as their offering for the first half, "Mexican Rose," a gripping drama, is being offered, and in a clever manner. The cast includes J. Farnes Smith, playing the part of the Rose's fiance; William Hill, playing the foe; there on time; Lella Mitchell, characterizing the old lady; George Day, Margie Lorraine and Pellebone. The story is a very interesting one, and the popular Miss Bush has never been seen on The Stroll to better advantage. She has a most able part to portray and she has the most charming beginning to end. Many specialties are introduced, among them being "Joan of Arc," by George Day; "For a Rose," by Francis Smith; a song number by Miss Bush, and some real hula hula dancing by Margie Lorraine and Mildred Colebone. The Three Red Hots, or Sugar Squash, are an added attraction which is far the average. This accomplished trio have many things out of the ordinary to offer in their routine of singing, talking and dancing. Efficient in all departments, their fine act goes over in great shape, the offering being full peat and ginger. Other acts on the bill are Toddie and you who have many startling stunts; Rowley & Nowling, novelty dancers, and the great messerist, Filberto.
The last half last week had Robinson & Dewey holding the spot of honor, and the act, seen here for the first time, led up to a much-heralded reputation as a singing Jimmy Robinson has few equals and no superiors, and the manner in which he stops things with his topical song numbers is graffifying. Billy Dewey, a singer of the 1920s, boys, is in his own class only as a singing comedian, and the line of chatter offered by the pair is original and entertaining. It is some act. The classy singing act of Downz & Gomez, a couple of gentlemen, was on early in the bill, and their selections were greatly appreciated by the folks in front. They were never in better voice, and were forced to respond. Couple of gentlemen, Miss Rose was the teacher of a couple of beautiful bouquets on opening night. Other acts were Bennett & Merritt, lady musicians and singers. S. Howe and company, in a musical sketch, and Walker Baker and company, a good sleight of hand expert.
The Monogram
Sandy Burns, featured comedian with the Irvin C. Miller Ten Stars, playing the second of a two weeks' engagement here, remains very popular and is packing them in at every performance. The Hired Cook is the name of the comedian, and that it is a scream is putting it milipty. Sandy sure puts over a bunch of riotous comedy, and he is supported by his capable company in the most efficient manner. Fine song numbers and choruses are prevalent all through the piece, among these being "Sweet Brother Stephen," by Milo Vauhnir; "Lovin'," by Burns and clever Fred Hart; "Road to Home, Sweet Home," by sweet-singing Dave Liston; "Love Me Like I Want to Be Loved," by a mixed quartette, and a couple of number chorus in this group, which is always sure to find a warm welcome awaiting them here by the patrons of this house.
ROUGH AND READY
All the world loves a lover—and especially a fighting lover. That is one of the potent reasons why William Farnum makes such a splendid and heroic figure in "Rough and Ready," his newest and tremendously interesting do luxe production. The picture was directed by Richard Stainton among the snowys of the mountains in the most part comes to the States theater for the two days, Saturday and Sunday of this week.
Mr. Farnum has the role of Bill Stratton, who has always lead a high principalled life. He saves the home of a dear friend from disruption, but his masterful handling of the situation has a most pathetic result. Evelyn Durant, to whom he is engaged and in his misconstrues a situation in which she Stratton, and breaks off, their truth.
The man's hopes are dashed to earth. His faith in everything good and fine and true are almost shattered. He determines to abandon all the ties that bind him to a city of hypocrisy. He determines to abandon the energy. He packs his bag and is soon to leave a great open Northland to tramp the trail that brings weariness—but with it—happiness. With his sleds and his huskies he is deeply contented, until he comes to the milking settlement of Yellow Gulch. He is a man of great ant, his former sweetheart's father. From Lucky he learns that Evelyn will arrive in the village the next day. Bill cannot forget the past, as he thought. He remains in Yellow Gulch and faces Evelyn. The intervention of Jack Belmont, a sinister influence, is the cause of the collapse. He and makes Stratton wage a long battle for victory. Don't fail to see this great feature.
"THE KAISER"
The patrons of the popular Fickford theater will have the first opportunity of seeing "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin," in this neighborhood. Managers Wehofen & Parsons, who never spare any expense to bring the best of the theater to life, made the arrangement to show the wonderful production for the two days, Saturday and Sunday of this week, running from 2 o'clock to midnight, and it is expected that the Fickford will play to capacity business during the evening. Although the terrible conditions which prevail in Belgium are shown in all its horror. Over 5,000 people are in the cast, headed by the masterful Rupert Julian, whose impersonation of the Kaiser has created a remarkable picture. Although the picture has been shown. No production in the wide world, including any and every big one that the trade has seen in the last ten years sets red-blooded Americans so wild with excitement as does this collosial plotplay: It will make your very blood run red. It will have a long run at high prices it created such a great sensation that the audiences stood up and cheered. This picture will show you the inner workings of the Kaiser's consuls, how it was planned to blow up the Lusitanian, and how the airlines of the German country who flock over that benighted country: it will put before your eyes the insolent, egotistical emperor and show you the famous episode of his being knocked down and out by a young man. Intec is in 14,000 feet to combat suicide, gripping and starting situations which will make you howl in despair in one minute and patriotic delight in the next. Don't miss it.
SALEM TUTT WHITNEY
Salem Tutt Whitney, head of the famous Smartter Tutt Co., was in the city for a couple of days this week, and was a caller at the Old Roll Top Desk while here. He was looking as happy as a lark, and says that the present as a lark, and says that the present is doing his stuff and a member of the great comedian. The Smarter Set is playing Coshocton, Newark, Zanesville, Xenia and Springfield, Ohio, this week, with Columbus, Ohio, to follow for the full week of May 6.
Lulu Coates & Co.
Brooklyn, N. Y., April 30—Lula Coates and Crackerjackes are the big featured attraction with the Sliding Billy Watson Wonder Show, and is the hit of the entire production. The specialty offered by this act has long been a highlight of this city and the manner in which they stop the show at every performance proves that they have lost none of their high standing with the patrons of the Casino, where the great show is holding forth. The season for the Wonder Show and engagement at the Empire, Newark, N. J., next week, and this has been a remarkably fine season, despite the war conditions.
Miss Brooks Sick
Theresa Burroughs Brooks the popular and talented little soubrette, who has been playing her swell single since leaving the Billy King Company No. 2, recovering at the Mudgett sanctuary after being held in a fully undergoing in serious operation. Miss Brooks is a great favorite with theater-goers all over the country, and they will most likely be glad to learn that the clever little lady will soon be seen following her chosen vocation, and will be playing in King at the Grand theater on May 29 when that great comedian starts his twenty weeks' engagement.
THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
"THE KAISER, THE BEAST OF BERLIN," AT STATES
Did you know that the Kaiser had a poison-filled abcess in his ear, and that if it burst he would be a raving manneuse?
Did you know that the Kaiser's left arm is as inches shorter than his right, and that the hand is puny as a child's? And did you know how carried it in order to disguise the deformity?
Did you know why he slaps his right arm the time? Of course you didn't. People outside of the imperial circle are秘密 as carefully guarded as has been the proof that Germany planned and started the war.
All these things and many more in the private life of the Jackal of Europe, the giant who the whole world into war and sorrow, are shown in "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin," which will be shown at the States theater for the four days, beginning on Friday of next week, May 9, 10, and 12. To miss it is to miss the most illuminated expose of this enemy of mankind.
"GIRL FROM RECTOR'S"
"The Girl From Rector's," which will be the offering of the Lafayette Players at the Avenue theater next week, is a musical melange which has been a sensation throughout the country, this is the first stock company that has commissioned plays by some of the later day playwrights. "The Girl From Rector's" tells a story that will interest those who love a play with a strong plot.
A young bachelor, with more money than brains, who makes the rounds of the lobster palaces in New York, falls with a certain party who is a retired teacher from some place in the U. S. A. They are known as "The Girl From Rector's" who is the most extraordinarily unconventional woman ever seen among the gay habitats of a money spending crowd, called "The Night Owls." In the past, she had to pay the young buchee. He nected a young girl her "Mamma," who have come to the city to get away from the dull existence of a town, somewhere in the U. S. A. In the city these two meet a college professor, the cousin of the girl she nected, the fed habitus he becomes engaged in, and but the day before their marriage the mother and the bridegroom have a misunderstanding, so he pleads with his cousin to six matters up for him. The cousin, on seeing the young lady love with her and pleads his wife suit, asks her to marry him. The marriage day is set, but how will he get away from "The Girl From Rector's," who has a claim on him? Mamma, daughter and Intended leave for said small town to live happy for the rest of the year, may, the Girl From Rector's, and said pal, the General. After this the situations come fast and furious until everything is settled to everybody's satisfaction. Come and see how it is done; you will literally launch your head off. The music in "The Girl From Rector's" delight those who love the best along the line of the song numbers being new and right up to the minute.
The cast playing this great play of laughter and excitement includes Abbie Mitchell, Tom Brown, Susie Sutton, Neil Farris, Neil Farris, Neil Farris, Lillian Gillam, Chase Golden, Faye Mores, A. B. de Camillerie, Will A. Cooke, Lionial Monagas and others.

PRESIDENT OF THE "NIGHT OWLS" OF LOBSTER SQUARE
"MAD DOG OF EUROPE"
Reasons for outrages committed against the young womanhood of Belgium by the officers and men of the German army, is undoubtedly provided by the truths now coming to light of the insulting manner in which the Kaiser himself has frequently received prominent ladies at his reception in Paris, where his generals and other officers are present and have seen the disrespect shown female guests by their own rule.
The Kaiser is a shave to beautiful hands and have often distressed ladies of the court by his bold, public admiration and insulting insinuations. Most of the girls and bracelets worn by the Kaiser are inappropriate. He is also known for female hands while admiring and fondling them, ever strangers, in public; but this is but one of many sensational peeps into the private life, the habits and mannerisms of "The Mad Dog of Europe," as shown in "Julian, Julian's startling screen prognosis," which will be shown at the Owl theater, 47th and State streets, for the two days, Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12.

A NOTE OR TWO
INVEST-DON'T GAMBLE
People whose incomes are less than $1,000 per year; whose homes are not paid for, and whose "Nest Egg" is not equivalent to six months' salary, should not gamble their hard-earned savings away in speculative investments.
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. This being true, we will leave it to your judgment as to which class belongs the

Those desiring a non-speculative investment will find the stock of this Corporation (a Race Firm) a very attractive buy. Respectfully,

By A. N. Fields
South Park M. E. church, 33d and South Park avenue, was the scene of one of the most remarkable meetings ever held in Chicago. Long before the time set for the beginning of the program last Tuesday night the great auditorium held the film exhibit, with hundreds being turned away. The special occasion was the first visit of Hon. Emmet J. Scott, former secretary of / Emmett J, Scott forger secretary of the degree, now special assistant to Hon. Newton D
M. B.
special assistant to Hip. Newton D. Baker, secretary of war.
Mr. Scott came to the city upon the invitation of the Urban league, an organization which has for its purpose the members of the race. The audience which greeted Mr. Scott represented all phases of life in Chicago. At 8:15 o'clock sharp Editor R. S. Abbott of the Defender, the chairman, met the meeting to order. In brief though touched by Rev. A. J. Carey, who delivered an interesting address, touching with significant importance upon the "Negro's Place in This New Democracy." At the close he introduced Emmett J. Baker, the speaker of the evening, who chose for his subject "The Negro and the War."
After paying a high compliment to the work being accomplished by the Urban league the speaker, in forceful and eloquent language, directed the attention of his hearers to what he considered their rightful attitude should allow them to be more effective in the interests of our country in this tremendous struggle for world democracy. He dwelt with great sincerity upon the fundamental principles of patriotism and duty, choosing as his theme "National Unity." He portrayed with vivid clarity the part played by the Race people in every conflict from Boston to New York, and explained that our loyalty and devotion to our country had been tested and had not been found wanting. The speaker said that civilization was now being tested as never before and that we as a race constituted an asset of an appreciable value in determining the effectiveness of our efforts. He described the great and terrible conflict in which the nations of the earth are involved and pictured to his hearers the importance of every man doing his bit in this tremendous effort of democratizing the world. His address was the source of inspiration to take up the challenge that this world struggle will come greater and larger opportunities for the submerged tenth. He assured his hearers that our soldiers in this present conflict were playing an important part and had already made secure a permanent place in history. He gave further assurance that they were receiving just recognition for their efforts and that this vast field of endeavor and that this sustained by the fact that over 1,000 officers, of the. Race were commanding troops in this and foreign countries, which is of itself a thing unparalleled in the history of the world. The speaker urged his hearers, not only to prepare themselves to fight, but for those remain some to prepare themselves to fight. He peace shall have been declared and the battle scared soldiers have returned to their native home.
Mr. Scott made a profound impression upon his audience and justified the opinion that those who are responsible for his selection made no mistake and

Chicago Musical Club Program
Sunday afternoon the Chicago Musical club rendered one of the best programs since its organization. Long before the hour scheduled to begin the musical patrons from all parts of the city would stop the large audience which gathers monthly to hear the gifted orators, the musical artists and the noted chorus choir. Mrs. J. Wesley Jones, chairman of the program committee, announced at the beginning that an unusual treat was in store for the great audience, at which time she presented a community orchestra which rendered her audience pleasing manner. Houten L. Fisher played a violin number. Johnnie Felton rendered "Rock of Ages" in variation on the cornet. It was well received. Miss Pauline J. Lee and her pupil, Wardell Douglas, played a piano part, "The Boat and Peasant." Miss Jones rendered her audience by her artistic playing pupil. Mrs. Charity Roy Jones sang a number which called for an encore. Mrs. Jones has a very sweet voice and sang her number exceptionally well. Dr. L. H. Holloway, chairman of publicity committee, introduced the speaker of the day, Attorney Warren K. Johnson, on the principles of unity. The laureate directed of J. Wesley Jones made their big hit, which brought the great meeting to a close. Everyone left looking forward to the next musical, the fourth Sunday in May. Mrs Jullette K. Cameron, organist; Miss Dickerson and Hunt, accompanists.
Reappointed for His Tenth Year
At the recent conference convening at St. Mark's church the congregation of Fulton Street M. E. church, who has served consecutively for nine years, at the request of the official board and his many friends and admirers was returned for his tenth year. It goes without saying that this church, the leadership of Rev. H. M. Carroll, has added a small mission which was encumbered with a $3,000 debt at the time he came, to a splendid church, well organized and with property valued at $30,000 with only $3,000 indebtedness. This gives an idea as to the progress of the work and the character of service during the nine years. This church paid $508 for its benevolences last conference year, regular annual note and interest, including the current budget. Not a single note has ever been deferred during the purchase of the present property. The pastor reports the hearty greeting and unusual enthusiasm demonstrated on the part of the efficiency of the church which tends to make him humbly predict this as his future missionary in this city. It can be said of St. Mark's church that no community interest is ever too complex for their prayerful interests and loyal co-operation.

Young Woman's Christian Association
Hearing so much about the membership campaign, I dropped into the Young Woman's Christian Association to look things over.
Here I found a group of earnest women planning great things for the Y. W. C. A., Beautiful young women, talented, rehearsing for a play which I learned was to benefit the "Y." Women fitting here and there in their various committee work, indeed a very busy place. Many had come in to take out memberships, not desiring to wait until the solicitor called on them. This is the reason you do why wait until you are asked or why wait out a membership in this worthy work? Why spend unnecessary car费? The solicitor often finds "no one home." Why not take your dollar to the Y. W. C. A.? It will encourage these women who are working so earnestly to make this campaign a success. Then, too, you would enjoy the visit to the "Y." Many join and never see inside the institution. You are always welcome, and you are needed, as well as interested homes. If every one really interested a protected area, with the influence of a Christian woman would donate $1,3,000, even 5,000 members, would easily be secured. Solicitors may not reach you, why not help them by taking your's to the "Y?"
Finance committee will meet Tuesday evenings. This is a good time to send in your donation. Memberships will be received any time; the sooner you send in your $1, the sooner the new home can be opened.—Ady.

Charges by Daily Paper as Using "Pull" Prove to Be False
The Chicago Herald, through the overtiousness of one of our reporters, came out with a story that Friday morning charging Louis B. Anderson, alderman from the Second ward, with using his "pull" in having Officer McCall reinstated to the police force after having been laid off. The case was reopened after McCall claimed he had not been heard and that the commission acted without finding the facts. The matter being brought to the attention of Alderman Anderson, was laid before the civil service commission for a rehearing. This was on March 27 and McCall was reinstated. Joseph Geary, seeing the article in the news, sought to clear the situation up, but the commission for the commission as well. The able gentleman said that he sat on the commission and that McCall had been reinstated because the commission felt justified in so doing. He also said that when he was in the wrong he usually said so, regardless of what he saw, but in this case he, as a member of the commission, knew he was right, and thought the same about the commission.
The vindicators of Officer McCall, both the civil service board and Aldermen, were cleared of the full charges upon them. The statement of Commissioner HEARY,

Mrs. Wilson Learns to Shoot

"Scott and I are taking lessons from her now."

BUSINESS COURSE IN
THE HIGH SCHOOLS
There is much talk among the high school children of the new business course. This business course, which is two years shorter than the regular math course, consists of spelling, business arithmetic, business English, typewriting and stenography.
Nothing is better than specializing in a particular work, but before doing so one should be sure of a suitable foundation on which to build this special work. Anything less than a high school education is unsafe. It is the foundation, and only prepares one for good college work.
If there ever was a time when real ability is in demand, it is now, but nothing less than real ability can fill this demand.
Over 100 Race girls were turned away from positions in the city a few days ago because they were not prepared, but because they were not given a diploma before all these positions of which you hear are taken. It will be a sad disappointment to the graduates of this course when they find that at least a common high school education is required of persons who are to till a certain age. In grammar school education behind this special work, you cannot hope to draw the salary you've seen in your "air-castle." You will be paid according to your worth. For instance, a business man who is not a graduate can he say in a few words what you are to do and can depend upon you to compose the letter, he is willing to pay for the advantages. What kind of a letter could you compose with only a grammar school education or a diploma from this business course?
You say your parents are too poor to let you continue school for four years. There are numbers who are in your condition who have to work and educate themselves, but they believe in never giving-up. Be an optimist. Believe that "where there's a will there's a way." Say many white girls are taking this course. A white girl has a long dreded chances to your one. If she fails in this, there are other positions open for her. But there is only one way for you—preparation—and this course is not a preparation.

Y. W. C. A. Recital a Success
A masterpiece, a shivering sheen of dazzling spangle and color, a wonderful array of youthful talent is the city's sentiment of appreciation landing the Spring Musical Festival given by the Y. W. C. A. Girl's Glee club, under the personal direction of Prof. J. A. Murdy, eminent musician and Crawford, at the Y. W. C. A. A. at the Abraham Lincoln Center, Oakwood boulevard and Langley avenue, Monday evening for benefit of the building fund, leading to the inclement weather, a large crowd was not met with enthusiasm, but this fact did not tend to the brilliancy of the affair. About three hundred people were present and were held fascinated, enthralled with the finished art and splendor of the color theme and costumes, as well as trained and balanced voices in solos and group studies.
A Hawaiian dance fantasy, rendered by the Misses Georgia Harris, Mabel Slaughter and Pearl Yates, was wonderfully interpreted, depicting charms showing the joy that sunny isle. A scene showing the joy of a vivid revival of the Spanish grace was displayed in the folk dance by Misses Alexzine Nelson, Ruth Sykes, Onieda Clark, Mary Webster, Grace Johnson, Oakerea Webb and H. R. Oxford. A vivid portrayal of the third from front, Gonodon opera, was proffered by Mrs. Mary Pulley, soprano; and Messrs. Hammond Sevier and J. A. Mundy, whose renditions received applauds. Follow-were colored descriptions of airs writted by American composers, and rendered by the Misses Georgia Harris, a courted and deafening applause. "The Garden-of-Flowers," a dainty operetta, written by L. Denza, was a feature with the Misses Marlam Sykes, Carrie Steadwell, M. Slaughter, Georgia Harleen, M. Mary Webster and Oakerea Webb, a quartet presentation. Other participants were Misses W. Yates, V. Carter A. Rowens and E. Howell.
"FIGHTING BOB ON THE JOB"
Race Prejudice in Carbondale School Attacked
Major Jackson received a letter from the pupils attending the Normal school at Carbondale, Ill., stating that they were being discriminated against by the superintendent of the school and that he was calling them "niggers." Alderman Jackson sent the following reply. He received an immediate reply. This kind of response does not bear out the contention of the teacher, who fought him, urging the separate school question against him. Letter follows:
"Hon. P. C. Dodds, Supt. of Registration and Education, Springfield, Ill.—My Dear Mr. Dodds: I am inclosing you a letter that I believe commands your personal attention. The spirit of the officials in charge seems to be so un-American and so out of harmony with the laws of our state and the garrant democratic principle for which, we are contending all over the world. We are not rejecting the language and attitude of the gentlemen in question? Sincecerely yours, MAJ. R. R. JACKSON.
The Prompt Reply
Hon. R. R. Jackson, 3300 State st., Chicago, Ill.-Dear Sir: Your letter of April 24 to Mr. Dodds has been referred to me in his absence. I am investigating the situation at the Normal school in Carbondale and am sure that the complaints made will receive attention from the officials of the institution mentioned. Yours very truly, FRANCIS W. SHEPARDSON, Director.

Cabareters to have a one week's lease of life, because of the discovery that the ordinance prohibiting entertainment and dancing in cafes where liquor is sold, which was to go into effect the 1st of May, was not officially published, as required by state law, until Friday.

And to return home to no supper because it all. Whoops, boy, how can we live through it?

in the postal zone Act
Thousands of presents have come
from all parts of the country to
nest appeals of untold numbers of owners
and publishers, decrying and condemning the new postal zone law which is
to go into effect July 1. To drastic have
all manner of argument is being
dropped and an appeal in a body for
the postponement of the act threatens
the action of Congress. The action
came as the result of a bill introduced
by Congressman F. W. Mendell
of Wyoming, in which he advocated
the postponement of the act until
next year after the declaration of peace.
Bill Menace to Business
Hamper to Our Readers
To our readers the proposed law is seemingly aimed toward shutting off their views of distant districts, killing public opinion and thus injuring human life in certain interest, ignored by the white publication, would tend to bring about such dark aspects as those in the days of the French Revolution, public opinion telegraph, Lynchings, whose damnable stain on civilization would flourish, as news matter crippled thus would force it to limited to that immediate district. The activities of no medium of remedy. The activities of no medium of remedy. The conflicts would pass unknown to them, as the only medium of enlightenment and knowledge of these facts and phonetic periodsicals whose circulation would be restricted to their immediate localities and shutting off millions from this important news. Further, it is of utmost importance that this ends to kill the interchange between the North and South wrought by a circulation of papers and magazines published in their respective sections, which meant stranded families who have been separated since the dark days of slavery have been brought together. News of consequence of persons in one part of the country are to be brought into concern.
Demoralization of Our Publishers
To what measure would we discuss the extension of the Race press, whose institutions from outlying districts. Such law would be a gag to these, cowhouses would engross their industry, as the system would restrict distribution and the zones remote from the place of publication. Isolated rural districts whose facilities for obtaining information are small, would be induced to ignorance. Polling would in an effort to comply with the law an increase in the price of advertising would be necessary, which would increase the cost of this paper the increase must be added in the price of the periodical or newspaper, which the public would flatly refuse to pay. Consider the non-uniformity in price of newspapers, which would be sent to another. This fact would be as cumbersome as currency which was not of normal value in any security, last, but most, the rural free delivery system, for which farmers all over the country have led a fight, and in the past few years succeeded in securing would pass entirely out of existence.

"NO SLACKER"

Mr. Langston continued: "The demands from every section of the county, from every picture, from every picture, Colored Mum No. Shocker, passes any demonstration of loyalty I have ever seen. There is not a state in the country where we are not getting reeled from for the picture. In many cities the people are putting the pictures in our lives that we are getting reeled from for the picture. In many cities the people are putting the pictures in our lives that we are not getting reeled from for the picture. Red Cross flags and other triotic emblems, so that the world may see where we stand. The letters represent the kind of loyalty ring, tempered with a determination that the picture shall stand for a real silent protest against the government. Hundreds of agents have taken up the sale of the pictures in various sections of the country. Stores by the city, banks by the city, Bond, the wealthy business man, Arkansas, sent in an order for a number of pictures to be used as part of the images in a great patriotic demonstration.
The pictures are in two sizes (see advertisement elsewhere) and may be held in a State Street, Chicago. A big offer is being made to have one in every home by May 30, Decoration Day. Have you If not, write Mr. Langston today.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
By Nettie George Speedy
The Yellow Cab Co., with offices at 57 E. Twenty-first street, has been given orders by the Health Department to clean up its place of business, toweise conform with the rules of working, and to form by one of its women employees. So many complaints have been made by the women working there, until the women's Welfare League became interested, sent one of their own investigators to work from 2 a.m. and learn the true-conditions. Things were worse than had been pictured, for in no way was the place fit in which a woman should work.
They were required to work from 2 a.m. until 12:30 the following day with a half hour for breakfast. Their work consists of cleaning the cabs, inside and out, and most of the cabs are wet to the skin when they have finished cleaning the outside of the cabs.
The firm holds back three days pay, to cover any breakage or other unfortunate incidents, and the salary is ten dollars for seven days work. Heretofore the women have no place to hang their street clothes, and they are not allowed to change, and my informer tells me that the white men employed there have a beautiful washroom while the Race Department is running water facts were reported with the result that two officials from the league made the women responsible and formed the women in a kindly manner that they did not have to be subjected to such treatment. A visit from the police is followed with the result that things are undergoing a change for the better.
A picture entirely different is that of the Royal Garment Co. 2214 S. Washburn Avenue, where the most beautiful lingeries by our women under the management of Miss Maud E. Williams, 517 Bowen avenue, the forelady. Miss Williams, is woman of refinement and personal charm, she informed me that she employs 27 girls and has her first time yet to reprimand any for quarreling. I attributed their peace and harmony to her own gentle ruling, glimpse about the workroom, which is well kept and clean, revealed the familiar faces of Miss Maud Hill, 616 Aberdeen street, who is head operator, and Miss Elise Collins, 2452 Dearborn street, the orphanage, Sunday school, since a wee little girl. The adult of the firm is Miss Olga Porter, 3549 Indiana avenue, who has a large office nicely furnished for her family. The girls have happy contented talks and seem well pleased with their work.
At the Metropolitan hotel, 2507 Michigan avenue, I found Race women on a staircase passenger elevators. The man in the elevator he was just trying it as an experiment, but the operators, Misses Queenie and Katie, both rush avenue, and Mateline Burke 3007 have proven themselves so proficient and popular with the guests that the immersion would possibly become permanent. The girls dress in the regulation black and white and have nice hours and good pay. I too too many fields of employment open to our women for them to submit tamely to ill usage.
Lewis Charged With Theft
Theodore Lewis, charged with the theft of $350 worth of diamonds belonging to Mrs. Pearl Crampton, $244 baskadee money was held to the grand jury, and $2000 to Judge Hugh J. Kearns of the South Clark street court Friday, April 28.
The plea for a continuance made by Arthur Soloman, canon, who stated that Mrs. Crampton, a lawmaker, Lewis, was unable to be present account of illness, was denied by the court.
Mr. Crampton testified on that the evening of 11 April, when she missed her jewelry, which consisted of a pair of diamond carriages, three diamond rings, a lavaliere and a brooch, but thinking that she possibly misidentified them, she did not notify the sergeant, who when sergeant, Scott and Middleton and Policewoman Grace Wilson were assigned to the case.
The officers suspicion was attached to Lewis, who roomed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Crampton and on April 17 he confessed to Sergeant Middleton that he taken the jewelry only to teach Mrs. Crampton a lesson for her carelessness.
He then led the three officers to the basement at 4352 Forrestville avenue, where he met a trunk belonging to him. The gems were later identified by Mrs. Crampton and declare $\in$ interact with the exception of one ring, whereupon Lewis produced a ring of diamonds, the ring for $10,000 at the Empire Loan Bank at Erie and Clark streets.
Springfield, Ill. May 3.—The National Grand Council of L. G. of 12 Knights and Daughters of Tabor, meet in the city of Little Rock, Ark. April 12, 1918.

IMPOSTOR TRAVELING SOUTH;
REPORT HIM TO POLICE;
Bishop L. N. Ross, who is in charge of West African work, told how the team had shelled Monrovia, Liberia, calling it a difficult, much property, leaving the people in a suffering condition.

It was considered one of the greatest and most successful meetings ever held in the history of the board.
In the report of the auditing committee, Mr. Benin was commended and his efficient manner of keeping books was praised.
N. A. A. of C. P. Protest the Lynching in Louisi-
ana and Tennessee
New York, N. Y., May 3—Telegrams
protesting recent lynchings in Louisiana
and Tennessee were made public in
New York on Monday by the
lady, secretary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People, after having been sent to
Grace, Louisiana, and the
Chambers of Commerce, Houge and Monroe, La., and to Gov.
Thomas C. Rye of Tennessee and the
Chambers of Commerce of Knoxville and
Arkansas.
Eleven men have been lynched without
trial in Louisiana since America
entered the war, the messages cite,
Grace, Louisiana, and the
Chambers of Commerce of Knoxville and
Arkansas.
The telegram to Gov. Pleasant urges
them to attack the messages, that
inquiries be made apprehended, that
sheriffs exercised their full powers,
that the Governor issue a proclamation
calling on citizens to obey the laws,
that Idaho will reinforce the appeal
identified Wilson to reinforce the nation
by a statement to the nation.
The message concludes: "America's pres-
sence in Tennessee is a national motel
at home demand vigorous, determined,
and patriotic action."
The telegram to Gov. Rye says: "The American colonists have been called the colonials and are now preparing to give their lives that the world may be made safe for democracy. Thousands more will be sent to the colonies to give the supreme sacrifice for America and for the cause to which the government of the United States and President Wilson have called the colonies. "Such outrages are unparalleled in the history of this or any other civilized country. They imperil national unity. Twelve million local Negro citizens have been killed by white citizens, outraged by the insults upon our fundamental law, are watching to see whether Tennessee, in this nation's history, will assert her determination to abide by the laws of the country."

LINGOLN REPUBLICAN
LEAGUE HOLDS A BIG
ANNUAL MEETIN
Memphis, Tenn., May 3. — The famous Lincoln Republican League of Tennessee, whose founder and president, R. R. Church, accepted political leader of the people, held its annual rally Monday night.
More than 3,000 adherents, their wives and children, together with hundreds of state and state, packed into Church hallium. It was a night never to be forgotten, not only because of the number of people, who literally crowded each other, but also because of the spirit of the occasion.
When the Lincoln League meets everybody knows that a convention of Race people who believe in themselves is the courage of their convictions, even in Memphis, is in session.
President Robert R. Church presided.
He was given a rousing ovation when he made his report on political conditions advised the Race to hold on to what they have got and never say "die in" to fight to be made for their rights. Mr. Church, the leader who says "come on." He is always

The annual address was delivered by Rochelle Cunningham of Simmons. That is about half of all speakers tried himself chief of all speakers tried himself that night in preaching "plenty faith, plenty fight." Introduced by Bert M. Roldy, Mr. Simmons cellapsed himself both as a leader and as a speaker to the echo by the multitude as he rode through against oppressors from without and traitors from within. He had a hand full of new facts, a head full of new ideas, and a heart of the time. It was held to hold depression when he said this: "Two years ago I voted for the Republican party and Charles B. Hughes. Two years hence I propose to vote for the Republican party and Theodore Roosevelt." The only complaint is that Mr. Church doesn't arrange a monthly rally and have Rochelle Simmons to speak.

And we now frankly and truthfully say to all the many Worthy Readers of this paper, that we cannot possibly estimate the real value in glory, that the Magazine Issue of "The Supreme Sun of Righteousness" will be to each worthy man and woman that gets a Copy of it. We use the term "worthy" to show all people that it is THE WORTHY PEOPLE that God IS NOW calling IN This New CREATION; but we say to all concerned, that without any doubt, it will be a God-Blessed and lucky man or woman, that is swift enough to get one of them; for they are exceedingly valuable to the right people—worth their weight in gold.
Yea without any doubt, ninety-nine (99) of God's Choice people out of every hundred (100) will rejoice with exceeding Great Joy, more than they would over fifty dollars ($50.00) in gold. Every wise man and every wise and righteous woman, who has been wise enough to get a Copy of the February Issue, which is the first issue, they have replied expressing their great joy for having gotten it, for $1.00, in time to see and know the Famous Information that is now gone forth to all mankind in that issue, and the March and April Issue exceeds with the fullness of what is meant by its publication, and is all brought out combined in the April Magazine issue of "THE SUPREME SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS," which excels anything ever published in the history of the world.
Whoseover sends for it, they should send for it direct to the Office, 1085 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, New York, by Registered Letter or by Express Money Order to the Editor, direct.

F. S. - You had better be quick, if you want ONE, as there is just a limited number of inaugural issue published, or the Special Benefit of the Elect and the Meek.
N. B.—We wish all people to remember, that it is ONLY the True People of God for which we have prepared this Magazine; for there is nothing in it that will do the wicked any good; the Righteous Only are they which it will suit; and I am not speaking of church people only, or of the professors of Christianity, as BEING the True People of God. They are characters of people who do not know Christ, that are God's men and women, and not yet made to see and know what God wants them to do, but would DO GOD'S WILL, if they knew what it is; this kind are also regarded of God, as worthy of Light; and at any rate, This Magazine will bring to its True-hearted Readers, the most Astonishing Information that has come to any people for their benefit for more than a Thousand Years; yea, not since Christ was born, has any thing so valuable been given to any people, as will now go to-them in the pages of "The Supreme Sun of Righteousness"—Magazine of This April 1918; and if any God-fearing man or woman gets a Copy of IT, for one Dollar and a-half. ($1.50) and is not more than pleased with it, 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 they may escape all the calamities that are now coming upon the evil and wicked generation, and NOTHING can take the place of it. AND DONT FORGIVE, that any man or woman that gets it, and is delighted in it, THEY are given 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 received, 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, as valuable is its contents, we do not allow it to go unregistered—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.

Working Under Difficulties
IT IS NEEDLESS TO SAY that the loyalty of the colored American has never been questioned. His country has never called upon him in vain. And yet if any person has a justifiable cause to be lukewarm, indifferent or even unfriendly to the government it is the colored American. He is not only the principal victim of lynch law and other forms of mob violence, but he is subjected to humiliating discrimination in the exercise and enjoyment of rights and privileges that should be common alike to all Americans.
Notwithstanding this it is praiseworthy to be loyal to the government, and die, if necessary, in its defense. Not because we are satisfied with the treatment to which we are subjected, but on account of the possibilities of the future. In spite of the justifiable grounds of complaint which now exist, they are not as bad as they have been, nor as bad as they might be. In other words, let the dead past bury its dead and let us look hopefully to the future. What the future may have in store for us will depend largely upon ourselves. If we again demonstrate our loyalty and devotion to our country in face of the injustices referred to those injustices will disappear and the grounds of complaint will no longer exist. At any rate, this is the view that we should take of the situation.
Some of our white friends may contend that, regardless of present conditions, we owe the white Americans a debt of gratitude for our emancipation. At this day and generation this argument is threadbare and absolutely worthless. We have more than repaid any debt of gratitude that they might have considered we owed long, long ago. The time has come when we should act, speak and think for ourselves, and our party affiliations should be in harmony with our views upon current questions and issues and not with reference to the past.
The official who made the statement recently that the men under him should not insist upon getting their legal rights because it would engender ill-feeling between the races, and because the dominant race could, and doubtless would, further crush the numerically weaker race, is a brilliant exponent of Democracy! Might doesn't make right, and the One who guards over the destinies of all men will call for an accounting some day, and the harvest will be what they have sown—nothing more, nothing less.

NOTHING DELIGHTS scribes on Southern papers more than to get hold of a story concerning the return of one who migrated to the North. They immediately paint the most horrible picture of the treatment, the social condition, of the people there, seems so real that those of us who live in the North are compelled to give those of us the most versatile of scholars from the Ananias school. Here is a fair sample of how they put it over for the benefit of the timid ones in 'Jaw-Jaw':
he preferred to be killed in Georgia. If he must die, than pass away up north, not south. He was a Prince, who went north last fall to get rid. Part of a winter cured him and he had to be back with "home folks" that he is grinning all the time. Others who went home找 former employers to help them get enough money to buy return tickets."
Doubtless there is such a creature in Georgia, perhaps many of them. To all such and to Georgia we say, "Welcome to them." The North certainly does not want that class. If the South does there are a few more such stragglers we will cheerfully donate to them.
Every man has a right to live where he sees it—if these so-called friends permit him to live. But no man has a right to act in a manner that will bring disgrace on his fellow men. Playing the monkey for the plaudits of the white ignoranceans is knocking the props from under one's own people. Ignorance is one thing that retards progress more than anything else; and it is the ignoranceans who are heralded in the southern press as representing the whole Race. We represent North wants none of that class, and just so long as the South exploits such characters, just so long will it be as it is today—fifty years behind civilization.

The North certainly does there are a few more such strangers are he sees fit—if these so-called friends right to act in a manner that will bring a monkey for the plaudits of the white man under one's own people.

VENEREAL DISEASE DRIVE
DEFINITION
The venereal diseases that civilized, clean and progressive people are driving against are gonorrhea, called "clap," syphilis, commonly known as "the meningitis," and chancre, which is a part of the local manifestation of the disease. Then we have the "bubo," which the ignorant, an uneducated man in ball. This "bubo" is an inflamed and sometimes pus-discharging gland in the groin or adjacent to the chancroid, it is absorbing or the emptying.
known as "the pox," chancroids and chancre, which is a part of the infectious tions of syphilis. Then we have the "bubu," which the infection cated term "blueball." This "bubu" is an inflamed and discharging gland in the groin or adjacent to the chancroids or absorbs or the emptying into the gland of infective material. These "buboes" often swell and become painful, infectious or extirpated (cut out) by the physician. These "buboes" never come from the effect of lifting or rubbing or overworking, as the ignorant or uneducated may believe, but are due to the taking up, as above stated, of the infective material of the nearby chancroid or dirty score.
Definition of Syphilis
Surface for our purpose to say that syphilis is a specific, infective, contagious disease, but is the Spirochaete Pallidia that is syphilis is a dirty disease, due to a germ, in character, hence the word palidia, which is known to be white. Syphilis disease is the disease that is attributed; few human beings are absolutely free from its taint; it is a disease that affects people in all stages of life, that is no respecter of person; it is a disease that does not kill outright, but must any dormant for many years, then be released and cultivated himself on being entirely free from any syphilis taint.

Finally this young sister came upon the right document, a recording standing and commending the young lady, revealed to her the truth—that she had syphilis in the advanced form, and that she had saved anti-syphilis treatment, but too late. The young lady died within a week. The moral here is plain: Beware of kissing, especially of kissing one who has a sore of any kind on his or her
Drinking Cup
The common drinking cup has been a great agent in distributing syphilis. Churn it into your tongue or your mouth or mucous patches on your palate—and you drink out of a cup, a glass, any other common drinking cup, or good neighbor comes along and drinks after you, using the same drinking cup or glass oftentimes consuming some of the utensil. You have the churn on the lip, then are you surprised that short time your best friend or neighbor has not nocently, yes, but nevertheless he or she has syphilis. Do you not think doing away with the common drinking cup is that you should carefully observe it?
Toilet Articles
Using the same toothbrush, the same comb, for shaving the powder puff, comb, or any other personal, individual articles, is a practice that should be avoided. The powder puff can be used promiscuously and indiscriminately by other persons, because by so doing, the opportunity to become infected with so many germs. Do not sleep with anyone who has any venereal disease. Use the same knife, fork, spoon or plate that has been used by one who has a sore about her or her mouth, hands or on any part of his mouth.
Dirty Hands
Dirty hands are a good agent to distribute the germ of syphilis. Some careless in handling other people's food, dry, toilet articles, etc. and such should not be allowed by law. The germ of syphilis diseases reportable is a good law and will far in protecting innocent humanity against venereal infection. It is an unpleasant cooks dishwashers and servants but possesses infections with venereal disease.

An event of great interest to dramatic and musical circles of this city took place last Wednesday evening, when the band entitled its third annual drama, entitled "The Rose of Eden," in Fitzgerald's Auditorium. Shore patrons and many out-of-town visitors attended the conference, which was with an interested and critical audience. The musical part of the program, rendered between the acts, received rapt attention. The concert was in excellent voice and rendered hot numbers with captivating charm. Her
Union Labor and the Race
The Race today occupies a place of far greater importance in the economic world than ever before. It is the purpose of some of our leaders for our workers and see that they get justice. A queer set of forces is at work among our Race men which often confusion amused a fort to rescue them and gave aid in some cases it may be considered as being a critical time for the best in the race. The American year in Buffalo the American Federation of Labor, seeing this new force in the labor world moving northward in greater numbers, as the war drew to its end, made some overtures to Negroes.
This was clearly a question of self-preservation on the part of the American Federation of Labor. The American got busy here and there and grasped of men were joining without much being said of it. Then suddenly the immensity of the movement came to the fore. It was ranged in Washington with the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor. This committee was led by Dr. R. Moton of Tuskegee, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war; Eugene Knickle Jones, executive secretary of the National Conditions Among Negroes; Thos Jesse Jones, educational director of the Phelps-Stokes fund; Fred R. editor of the National Age and the secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, John R. Shillady, appeared as a committee speaking on the subject of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor at Washington Dr. J. H. Dillard, director of the National Age, was sent but was prevented by illness.
Race workers must, in the minds of all men, have some common ground of contention for their rights. They stand today as an unorganized mass of people, and they are often strength if—once they are gotten together. It is easy to see that if they are not gotten together now, but instead continue to join the American labor movement in little groups, their combined strength will be wasted and lost, perhaps never fully realized. This makes the situation critical just now for the workers, and they should know what they are to get from organized labor in the face of past injustices, and they should know now exactly how they are to be treated in the workplace. A big conference of all the workers should be arranged, preliminary confusion among ourselves ironed out, a solid front presented to Mr. Gommette, the president of the Labor and our rights demanded and adjusted. It is hoped that something of this sort will be considered by the men themselves and something done by the women, and will find us prepared to hold that which we have gained by sweat and labor. We can only do this by becoming organized. JOSEFELD W. D.

THIS IS : O SO
Ballou Might Have Done Worse Thing; That
The troubles of the Race are many, but the state are hard for patriots to bear. General Ballou is a soldier? Soldiers are made of stuff beaten may not second the motion of the York that urges the commander-in-chief of the Ninety-Second division, nor do indignant Clarion of St. Louis, whose Ballou almost the knave. But the Defender uses chains of bondage make music for this with no brag of bold speech, that General Dash and daring to the field against the Hunt under his command. Are slaveholders fit for it? Soldiers who go to do and die take its feel the scorn and bear the contempt of who would deny the right of freedom them of in the earlier days think himself a Real Hun across the sea and make the world still, is democracy safe for men when democracy the author above his edict?
Our burdens are many, but the burdens per which we live and under which we will yet men are more and heavier. Over against fear,饺ice in the annals of men, we place the Race to both the flag and country in war and ask General Ballou, author and finisher. Ask Soldiers soldiers to surrender their leg at the business of maintaining the rights as away—we may ask Ballou if he thinks in its movements. The nerve of the Era a request could reach even the patient and the business of the hour is to whip German knees; to rattle dry bones in the vault in the noise; to cripple thrones; to oweons of the world; to bind up the wounds of it! The business of the hour is to maintain as better for men than the tyranny of its field in victorious blood the lines as penon the parchment of state! But Ballou, in order to the lawless and lawlessness, in his free states to adopt the shameless cuslives in the slave states, gives faithful last one general in the great army of the believe that the soldiers under him are fopes to give the world by the blood of the war of this kind may not be so intended—uded—and labeled, but it is at least and is no time to ask any man to surrender and to curtail his privileges. He may be ask one is not to be asked to be still while chain you remember Appomattox?
Bear in mind that General Ballou is not general, and a new one. He may be honest. Has his blunder dangerous. Error is in the used Arrogance, and whoever rides with him to a fall, My Chief!
This—"Order 35"—is the straw that man and camel get his back up. Now it is no Rear citizens who hated Lincoln are gooding violence; now, a Race officer is ejected from upstarts in uniform are put in command burning here and a lynching there:
The troubles of the Race are many, but the confusions of government are hard for patriots to bear. General Ballou may be a fighter, but is he a soldier? Soldiers are made of stuff beyond "Order 35." The Defender may not second the motion of the distinguished News of New York that urges the commander-in-chief to have done with the leader of the Ninety-Second division, nor do we multiply the work of the indignant Clarion of St. Louis, whose columns measure General Ballou almost the knave. But the Defender, speaking for the Race whose chains of bondage make music for this war of freedom, will say this, with no brag of bold speech, that General Ballou may lead others with dash and daring to the field against the Huns, but not the soldiers now under his command. Are slaveholders fit to lead freemen to fight slavery? Soldiers who go to do and die take heavy steps when their hearts feel the scorn and bear the contempt of their commander. Does one who would deny the right of freemen that pursuit of happiness spoken of in the earlier days think himself the person to undo the brutal Hun across the sea and make the world safe for democracy? Better still, is democracy safe for men when democracy adopts "Order 35"? Is the author above his edict?
Our burdens are many, but the burdens of the great government under which we live and under which we will yet stand up in the promise of men are more and heavier. Over against fearful and the most wicked prejudice in the annals of men, we place the loyalty and devotion of the Race to both the flag and country in war and in peace. Perhaps we may ask General Ballou, author and finisher of "Order 35," which requests Race soldiers to surrender their legal rights while they are about the business of maintaining the rights of others thousands of miles away—we may ask Ballou if he thinks that progress is hackward in its movements. The nerve of the English would fail before such a request could reach even the patient and vociferous Irish.
The business of the hour is to whip Germany; to bring the Huns to their knees; to rattle dry bones in the valley and let Freedom hear music in the noise; to cripple thrones; to open up the seas to the nations of the world; to bind up the wounds of Belgium, and make men free! The business of the hour is to maintain the spirit of the new world as better for men than the tyranny of the old and to mark on war's field in victorious blood the lines as penciled by the erudite Wilson on the parchment of state! But Ballou, in asking soldiers to surrender to the lawless and lawlessness, in his foolish request to freemen in free states to adopt the shameless customs of slaveddrivers and their slaves in the slave states, gives faithful indication that there is at least one general in the great army of the United States who does not believe that the soldiers under him are fit to enjoy the blessings he hopes to give the world by the blood of the soldiers under him. Behavior of this kind may not be so intended—and, possibly, is not so intended—and labeled, but it is at least anti-American propaganda This is no time to ask any man to surrender his rights. He may be asked to curtail his privileges. He may be asked to wait on his change, but he is not to be asked to be still while chains are put on him! Does Ballou remember Appomattox?
Bear in mind that General Ballou is not the army. He is but a general, and a new one. He may be honest. Very likely he is. That makes his blunder dangerous. Error is in the saddle and his horse is named Arrogance, and whoever rides with him rides well, says Ballou—but to a fall, My Chief!
This—"Order 35"—is the straw that makes the calm and burdened camel get his back up. Now it is no Race officer to be saluted; now, the citizens who hated Lincoln are goading soldiers to deeds of violence; now, a Race officer is ejected from a Pullman car; now, white upstarts in uniform are put in command of Race troops; now, it is a burning here and a lynching there:

"But thank you, Mr. Colored Man, when they do that when General Ballou is ready with older 35," weariness and impatience are around now who is it in America helping Germany. "LEGALLY right," says General Ballou or to enter a theater or eat a square meal up, but yet, that presumptuous conduct may "lady" who may be near, or it may provide some coffee-sipper at the opposite table. The question of the loyalty of any soldier who is the uniform of the army to trip up the back his meal on the steps of the kitchen!

Let us be but grief waits at the door of disloyal party is in form, and Theodore Roose the healers. General Ballou may be a great soldier of a soldier.

so that when General Ballou is ready with his grand and noble "Order 35," weariness and impatience are aroused, and the Race wants to know who is it in America helping Germany to wake up hell!
"LEGALLY right," says General Ballou of Race soldiers who may care to enter a theater or eat a square meal under pleasant surroundings, but yet, that presumptuous conduct may be fatal to the nose of some "lady" who may be near, or it may provoke the delicate stomach of some coffee-sipper at the opposite table. The Defender might raise the question of the loyalty of any soldier who would request the wearer of the uniform of the army to trip up the back stairs to the gallery, or take his meal on the steps of the kitchen! The "Order" is ridiculous to weavers of thin philosophies, but this is no time for philosophy. This is the time to fight, and also to learn how much common sense men possess.
Section three of General Ballou's infamous order makes the brag that nine-tenths of the country is white, and only one-tenth not white; therefore, take low, ye swarthy sons of Lincoln, or the nine-tenths will take it for you. That is a reflection upon the loyalty, morality and patriotism of the noble white people of the free states, the northern states, the states where Virtue is not afraid to look out of the door on a rainy day lest some half-breed son ask her for the loan of an umbrella. The white people of the United States—the real white people—those this side of the Ohio, have not asked, and do not now ask, that those in control of affairs, whether high or low, shall "teach the Negro his place." A public opinion has been created to make one think that, but that public opinion is a lie. The white people of Kansas have not asked Race soldiers or officers to surrender their manhood. Maybe some of the white officers and their wives have suggested how beautiful a thing it would be to turn the Kansas of John Brown into a Kansas for southern mobocrats to display their feverish "superiority." Northern white people had better look about them. Their civilization is threatened, and not by the Race whose young men—whose hope—have been invited to yield what rights Lincoln was murdered by Secession to assure them!
Let us be cool, and buy bonds. Let us be steadfast in the faith. Nothing but grief waits at the door of disloyalty. God lives, the Republican party is in form, and Theodore Roosevelt is out of the hands of the healers. General Ballou may be a great fighter, but he lacks the genius of a soldier. The Race will lick the Huns until the word "Mercy!" drops from their lips, when the time comes. Howbeit, Reason in her bulletin and order inquires if Ballou would not be a better commander of white troops. Our troops are not good enough for him. Also, who is Greer? Is he from Memphis, Tenn.?
