Conference responsibility and I have no apologies to make for those appointments, because the men appointed have justified by the high character of their public service the wisdom of the appoint-ments. When the celebration was arranged to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie, I was honored with the Illinois commission to help arrange the tentional celebration. In the discharge of my duties in that connection, it came to my attention that one-third of the men in Perry's command were Negroes, and it occurred to me that he represented at the celebration. With the commission, I wrote a letter of congratulation to Colonel Henry Watterson of Kentucky. I was able to secure the adoption of my proposal and later had the extreme satisfaction of having my personal friend, Dr. A. J. Carey, chosen speak for his people. It was one of the most distinguished orators of the nation, and delivered an oration which would have been creditable to any man in any age. Stands for Equal Opportunity I stand for an equal opportunity for your assistance in the spirit of our constitution and our laws; because the same great charter of liberty which insures freedom for you also guarantees to me my right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our constitution and foundation which rests the rights and liberties of all man and it is upon that foundation and that alone that this republic can endure. Every guarantee and every line of that instrument are as sacred to the American people as the stars in the flag; and every true patriot would be as much to sustain as he would be to embody the sky, because without the constitution the flag would be meaningless. I would not presume to instruct you leaders of thought in what the constitution means to you and to me and to the people of the Americas. In order, however, to emphasize the fact that vigilance is the price of liberty," let me invite your attention to the fact that less than one year ago, J. Hamilton Lewis, a senator from Illinois, emancipated and uttered this startling doctrine: "The time has gone by when the people of this country are so much concerned about the constitution as f AN14 C4 C1513 The general conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church in Atlanta, united by a memorial session with the St. Paul C. M. E. church, 4646 Dearborn street, Wednesday, May 1. As an emergency it was arranged for the formal and subsequent sessions to be held at St. Mark's A. M. E. church, 50th street and Wabash avenue. And together a very distinguished gathering of high church prelates, among them being Bishop L. H. Holsey, D. D. first Episcopal district, 385 Auburn avenue, Atlanta, Ga.; Bishop Isaac Lane, D.

Seventh Episcopal district, 616 Memphis, Tennessee, which composes the college of bishops of the Church. Long before the gavel fell, the auditorium was filled with a brilliant audience. Bishop R. S. Williams called the audience to order and after the invocation introduced the Rev. R. B. Hawkins, who delivered the address of welcome on the part of the church. The various denominations of the city were invited to the church. Robins, D. D., Rev. W. W. Blackwell, A. J. Carey, D. D., each speaking for his respective denomination. The city of Chicago was represented by Mayor W. H. Thompson. The mayor's address was thoughtful, sound and constructive and was in part as follows: "It is a privilege as well as a pleasure to me on this occasion to welcome the audience to the church, to extend a hospitable greeting to this general conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church. It is singularly appropriate that in this year, which marks the one hundred anniversary of our admission into the satehood of states, that you have been called to the office of a lieutenant, the state which did so much for your enfranchisement as citizens of the republic. It was the state of Illinois which produced and gave to the nation that rugged and sublime character, Abraham Lincoln of blessed memory, Abraham Lincoln of blessed memory, Abraham Lincoln which liberated a race, Strange as it may seem, that decree which made our Declaration of Independence a reality and which extended the blessing of liberty to every human being. It was an army that be enforced by an appeal to arms. That proclamation had to be written in blood. It was this splendid commonwealth in that crisis which placed at the side of Lincoln to sustain him the army that matches matchless military genius, the enemy that quarrelsable Grant. It was Illinois, always in the vanguard of liberty, that was the first state to approve and adopt the thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, providing that slavery be abolished in the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Accused of Aiding Race I am charged and bitterly criticised in some quarters for having too much regard and solicitude for your people. In answer to this I have said and I now say that never. If I can help it, will the door of opportunity be shut in the face of any people who show a lack of respect for themselves and the conditions surrounding them? Evade my obligation in this regard to your people I should have to turn my back on my ancestry, on my early teachings and on my own success in life, because my father fought through the war, the side of Farragut, make you free; and I received the inspiration which made me life and influenced my ideals; and when I entered public life it was in the capacity of alderman, representing the Second ward of Chicago, in which your people are more numer- Owing to Decoration Day, May 30, coming on Thursday, the day we mail, The Chicago Defender will go to press that week on Tuesday, May 28.

Only mute World, who died here last Thursday, May 2, at 1:15 a. m., the warm circle in the Elkdom heart inside has been called one of the strongest apostles of fair play and justice and a firm believer in racial advancements along all lines has opened a dreamless sleep. Indeed, a friend is gone, a chair is vacant, only mute things speak his memory. For fully twelve long years of earnest toil B. F. Howard fought to place the order of Elks in an esteemed degree, was notting in his efforts to perfect the organization to the last letter and his executive skill and keen insight into the inner workings and possibilities of the Elks were far reaching and felt wherever his counsel was sought. Friends who knew him best always and ever have beautiful and fascinating stories to tell of his triumphs for the principles of Elkdom. Enough cannot be said of the vigorous but many fight he waged, in the autumn of his life, against the unjust legislation of his white brother Elks who endowed to crush his life's work LONG ISLAND PREACHER ACCUSED OF SELLING LIQUOR TO SOLDIERS Roslyn, L.

Williams attending him. Mr. Curt was one of Chicago's more representative citizens. His interests were centered in his family, church, lodge and Provident Hospital. November 1880, he married Miss Sarah Tomlinson, Detroit, daughter of Mr. and Mrs William J. Tomlinson. They lived happily together, since that time. Thirty years ago he became an Episcopal priest, the number of years served as warden at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church. He was a member of Hiram Lodge of Masons and he took great interest in this order, which had charge of the Masons. Mr. Curt was a trustee of Provident Hospital. This organization and the church were the two institutions that he gave most of his time. It is said that he seldom missed a meeting of board of trustees, and was always at the church when the doors were opened. Special Deputy Collector Mr. Hurd was special deputy collector. He went into the service of the United States government collector of the port as messenger in 1874. He not only paid for his pacity for intelligent work and service, and in 1854, under Collector Smith, was made a deputy inspector of customer. During the latter port of Cleveland's administration he was out of office just three months. Later he became a collector, and this office up to the time of his death. Mr. Curd was born at Wadesboro, Ky. in 1845, and same to Illinois in 1862. He attended school at Loda, Ill., and came to Chicago in 1867.

Scarcely had he weathered this battle when a general unrest was created within the ranks of his own organization, which finally offered reasons for a split. He disorganization Mr. Howard enlisted additional strength to his order, and in 1905 the Daughter Elks of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks was established. Again he surrounded himself with the best executive talent the country afforded and lent encouragement, up to the time that his soul was up to silence beyond the stars. And this order today stands as a monument to his achievements. Was Pioneer in the Elk Movement? The story of Mr. Howard's work in launching the first chapter of the order is brilliantly illustrated with many trying incidents. He was serving as captain of the American Express company with his vision of college and his acquaintance with the order became intimate. In the course of his enthusiasm he chanced to obtain a ritual of the white organization, and night after night he laboriously toiled, unraided, until he mastered every detail of the order and at once recited his impromptu poem to listeners whom he later converted to his cause and sent out as missionaries to the four corners of the globe. His activities, while mainly centered in the interest of exploiting the aims of one society, were not narrow. For thirty years he was an active member of the Elks, the headquartered at Detroit, Mich., and a member of his death this lodge expressed regret at not having the privilege of conducting the funeral. Benjamin Franklin Hayward was born in Cynthiana, KY, April 16, 1844, and was at the time of his death 69 years old. He was a very conscientious man, possessing a strong sense of responsibility, voted to his friends; always cheerful and in a happy mood. He was instinctively a Christian and although he had never definitely acclaimed his allegiance to any religious body his activities in St. James' A. M. E. church were regarded as sincerely. He is accredited with the highest degree and brewer the night before his death he had at one time joined a church in his home town, but his duties on the railroad at that time kept him disconnected from active church work, and his relations at times became entirely surreal. On Feb. 6, 1854, he was married to a woman of high morality who mourns his loss. He is also known by a niece, Mrs. Louis Montgomery, Indianapolis, Ind., and Mrs. Anna Smith of Pittsburgh, Pa. Buried Under Mountain of Flowers Mr. Howard was buried last Saturday from St. James' church, Rev. Brewer officiating. Resolutions were made by the late of Walnut Hill Baptist church, Cincinnati, and signed by Rev. Bigger. Undertaker Samuel Davis was in charge of the funeral. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, and especially the lye and clock designs by Mrs. Johnson of Chicago and given by the unique temple No. 15 and Elmira temple No. 21. Elmira. The clock was by the Guild of Lady Judiths. The hands of the clock, beautifully displayed in flower designs, pointed to the hour that Mr. Howard entered the sleep that knows no awakening. Mrs. Hattie King, organizer of Unique temple, sent an individual floral design. Several citizens from the surrounding cities were present at the burial ceremony, among them were Mrs. H. P. Loegrant, grandmother and Miss Emma Vanney, grand vice daughter, elder, both of Chicago, Ill. Be it said to his eternal credit, Mr. Howard always dealt justly with everyone who enjoyed his goodfellowship. As all other men who seek to create, he incurred the wrath of many who insisted his favorite declaration was, "I never should my deed be to drag me down by causing me to him." His life was one filled with noble deeds, he was kind, his heart was kind, he lived his heart. Sam Johnson Sentenced New York, May 10.

Slatter Dies In Nashville Sanitarium Nashville, Tennessee, May 10. The pen of Horace D. Slatter is still. The well known newspaper correspondent, who had traveled threeteen years before porting affairs to the larger daily papers in the South and contributing to Northern journals and magazines, died here last Saturday at the Davidson house last week, where he had been under treatment February suffering from the ravages of the white plague. The body is at the Preston Taylor undertaking establishment awaiting interment by the chapel. Slatter was a graduate of the A. and N. College, Normal, Ala., and was for 1937 Horace D.

Four years later he wife through the ravages of consumption, he himself fell a victim to the disease. Out of money he had left he attempted to keep himself in Asheville, N. C. While in the woods of North Carolina he contributed several articles to magazines on tuberculosis, one particular portraying the suffering of the disease. He reason so many Negroes die of tuberculosis is that they do not have the money with which to fight the disease." His work as a newspaper man was that of a trained mind, conservative and accurate, and his copy was a delight to handle. He was for many years a store of a chittanooga weekly paper, but he health care gave up the position. He wrote in January last to a friend: "I am frank to say that I have just about delivered my last punch. The battle is a hard one. I am fighting a losing game."

We are pleased to thank that our editor is so well thought out and that the Defender stands so high in the praise of our people. We enter another year in journalism, our policies remain the same.

Butterworth, former Hollyoke nurse, held without ball pending consideration of her case by the grand murder of George Arthur Elliott in this year’s library of April 5, carried out her suicide threat late Saturday night at the Hampden county jail in Springfield, where she had been confined since her arrest. The nurse accomplished her purpose by wrapping herself in blankets and set to dress and her clothing with a match. She returned from head to foot, and died two hours later in the Springfield hospital. Sherif Embury P. Clark on Sunday night gave the following account of the affair: Miss Butterworth had been more chicely dressed. Today she had been crying and she had the bathroom tonight to take a bath. After returning upstairs she entered the workroom and sat down. She appeared to be in a very nervous condition, biting her fingernails and crying, according to some of the women in and picked up a newspaper to contain her picture, and said she would have to face the grand jury the coming week. She threw the paper down and said she was going to get a drink of water. The attendants did not think anything was wrong and let her Found Engulfed In Flames Almost immediately they smoked smoke and rushed downstairs. She lay on her back on the laundry drying room, wrapped in blankets which were a layer of plastic and condiments rushed to the office and told clans, who ran downstairs and put out the flames by wrapping more blankets about her. She was writhing and Four Arrested in Rape Case New York, N. Y., May 10.—Clarence New York, proprietor of a rooming house, with less Fifty-third street, together with James Dale, 261 Fifty-seventh street and Theodore Jenkins and Edward Lauder of 151 West Fifty-third street, were arranged in the Fifty-fourth street magistrate's court on Saturday morning, April 27, with rape on 14-year-old Willie Maud Dale and then criminally assaulted with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter White, at that address. The crime was an especially atrocious one, as it was claimed that the girl was first rendered unconscious by bugged and then criminally assaulted with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter White, at that address. The four men were arrested and looked up, but at the hearing Saturday morning, Davis, Jenkins and Lauder were discharged and the evidence had not been produced to show were implicated. However, it was not disputed but that they had knowledge of the crime. Williams was held for the grand jury in $1,500 ball. The parents are dead and she was brought to court, but short while ago by her old grandmother, who just two days before the rape, rented rooms from Williams, whom they did not know, to to whom they had been sent for accommodations. Oliver Churcher ushered in the Mt. Olivet Baptist church, with his blind wife and son in an apartment 249 West Fifty-third street. His rooming house is looked after by his housekeeper.

The girl was removed to Bellovle hospital, and the serious condition of her wound was treated to at the trial by the physician who attended her in the hospital. SERGT, ROBT, NEWHOUSE SERVING IN BRITISH ARMY Nothing in months has created so great a surprise among his many friends in Chicago as was occasioned when word was received by relatives from Sergt. Robert Newhouse, now serving in the British army "over there." The military career of Sergt. Newhouse has been spectacular. He consisted in the U. S. Army and served in 1915, and was discharged with honors. He was a member of the famous 24th Infantry and served in the Philippines. After discharged he consisted in the Mexican rebel army under Gen. Manuel Ocha in Sept. 1916, and was commissioned captain, and later lieutenant colonel in command of Nara Largo of Sergt. Newhouse In September 1915 and served until 1915, and was discharged with honors. He was a member of the famous 24th Infantry and served in the Philippines. After being discharged in the Mexican under Gen. Manuel Ocho in Sept. 1916, and was commissioned captain, and later lieutenant colonel in command of Nara Laredo. His commander became unmarried the Mexican government and was discharged and Sergt. Newhouse requested that he also be given his discharge. It was granted and he entered the service of the British flag. He has been to the Belgian lines for three months and served under fire. While in Chicago last year the British government passed to the duty of drilling recruits enlisted under that flag and for months he conducted his drill classes in Grant Park. PRICE FIVE CENTS UNION uicide End Her Life ; Burns Fatal Dr. Hervey L. Smith was commended and advised me to have her taken to a hospital. I told him to call up a hospital. He telephoned Springfield hospital. An ambulance was sent and Miss Butterworth was teken there. Attorney Thomas C. Maher of Holyoke, counsel for the accused, young woman, did not learn of the death of his client until Sunday morning, and it is not shock. Attorney Maher had deeply studied considerable time in preparation of the defense and was confidently sure that Miss Butterworth would be acquitted if brought to trial. He had been in frequent conference with her and was familiar with her nervous and depressed condition. After meeting that Miss Butterworth had no complaint, the treatment accorded her at the jail, and many times mentioned the extreme kindness shown her by the different officials. The Miss Butterworth secured the match with which she burned herself is not known, but it is thought that was one that had been given her Thursday in order that she might make some cocoa for herself. Miss Elizabeth A. Mahonoy, the matron at the jail, does, however, that Miss Butterworth used the match for the purpose stated. Watched by Two Woman Miss Butterworth had access to three rooms besides her own, which was a small room off the workroom. Two rooms were the jail, and had taken turns watching Miss Butterworth with them. One of them being with her all the time. However, she had appeared more cheerful of late, the jail officials say, and the vigilance of the guards had been somewhat relaxed. The death of Miss Butterworth brings to mind and a case which, if brought to trial, would doubtly prove one of the most sensational cases ever aired in the courts of the commonwealth, as well as being held in Hampden county. The court heard that the nurse was charged was the murder, by shooting of George Arthur Elliott, proprietor of Elliott's Park Pharmacy, with whom she had been on intimate terms and had been named to be the father of her UNBORN son Elliott and Miss Butterworth had been accused of city on frequent trips, and she had repentedly attempted to have him desert his family and go away with her. So days before the tragedy friends went to see her, and faced Elliott to come home, leaving Miss Butterworth there behind them. This it is thought aroused her iro and resulted in the shooting. The woman laid in wait in Dwight street for Elliott, on his way home, and about 8 o'clock in the morning, and on him. One of the five shots took off in his bank, and he died in the Providence hospital several hours later. Ask Stanton Av. Police Station Be Reopened Prospects for the re-establishment of the old Stanton avenue station, located at the corner of Thirty-fifth street and Rhodes avenue, loom up bright. At a meeting of the city council Monday Alderman Jackson and Anderson introduced the following order, which was referred to the finance committee: "Ordered, that the general superintendent of police be, and he is hereby directed to re-establish for police work the police station known as the Stanton avenue station, located at East Thirty-fifth street and Rhodes avenue. -R. R. Jackson and Louis B. Anderson, alderman of the Second word." After the order had been referred to the finance committee, Alderman Jackson and Anderson took the matriculation to the chairman of the finance committee and in the course of a conference the alderman got the chairmen to agree to co-operate with them in their efforts to re-establish the station. Judging from what the Defender reporter was able to learn from our representations in the city council, the representatives in the course of the reopening of the station in the future. The Chicago Defender has persistently advocated the re-establishment of this station, because it is located practically in the heart of the district where our people reside. The two representatives in the city council are open the station is the fruition of the Defender's fight to this much desired end. The Defender congratulates Alderman Jackson and Anderson upon the initial steps taken, and, along with the residents of the Second ward, urges upon the continue in their efforts until finally the success so much desired have been obtained. It is a matter of common comment on the highways and in places where our people congregate that Alderman Jackson and Anderson are proving by their successes the benefactors in the matter of service and every interest on every occasion and in all matters affecting their welfare. If they continue in the same degree in the future as in the immediate past the Race will ever be grateful to these benefactors and the anselphine interest they take in developing their time to our cause and advancement.

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

"Temperamental" Valesca Suratt, musical comedy star, was pilled as the headline attraction at the Davis theater this week, but the promoters of the bill might have listed this eccentric star as an added attraction. The Harmony Four 'stopped the face' and Werner, blackface comedian in the evening's entertainment. The Harmony Four are a quartet of Negroes with excellent voices. They went over the top into the hearts of the Monday nighters and took half a dozen hows. This act followed Miss Suratt, and from the tension of The Purple Opener, Miss Suratt's present vehicle, which is blackface, denced found relief and joy in the foursome. The quartet not only sings well, and puts the numbers over, but it knows what to sing." Lulu Coates & Co. Newark, N. J., May 9. *The Wonder Show*, headed by Sliding Billy Watson, is playing its final date of the season at the Empire theater here this week. It is one of the best of the season's attractions, and has many added features. It is a primary show of its kind.

The act is as good today as ever, and the man who plays it is a fine testimonial each performance is a fine testimonial of the popularity it still enjoys. It is understood that this act will be seen with another of the Hurtig & Semon attractions next season. It certainly makes the strongest sort of special attraction, and the Watson show it saved the "Wonder" in more ways than one. THE KAISER For four days, beginning on Thursday of the present week, "The Kaler, The Beast of Berlin," will be the attraction at the States theater—the theater of the house of better pictures. There has been so much said of this great attraction since it caused the big sensation in the Loop some weeks ago that many of the readers of this page are well aware of the wonderful character artist, Rupert Julian, as The Kaler, the cast includes over 5,000 people, and the picture is in 15,000 feet. It tells a tale that leads up to a moment where things seem to begin to change by an individual who stands today as the most hated of all mankind. By a trick of circumstance the welfare of the world. In this feature, was placed for a moment in the hands of an arrant egistol, tyrant, mud-man-William of Hohonzoillen. The greatest crime in all history was persecution by the HMSELF a place in the sun. Blinded by the Gods there dashed forth in the mind of this one man a madness, a fatuity, a mania fatal, malignant, satanic. From behind the distant horizon came the direless thudding of guns. The rich fields, the peaceful woods, the racks the arsenal and the hospital. In two years 22,000,000 men were killed, maimed or made prisoners. Twenty-two million families mourned, but hunger and suffering do not lend themselves to the process of arithmetic—blasted homes and stunted lives are not to be interrupted by mathematicians, then came the master of mathematics, who gave ground into extinction beneath an iron heel, a nation was destroyed, the crime against Belgium completed to the fullest; the Prussian stalked onward with his twin comrades—frightfulness and horror. And then, a new blotch of infamy—the sinking of the Lustiana—added to the Dark Name of the Beast. But come and see his finish; and come and see this dead humiliated; you will howl with joy. It is something which you will never forget. GEO. C. HALL DEAD George C. Hall, at one time one of Chicago's best entertainers, and known as one of the best robust tenors of the city, was born on May 2.

"THE BARGAIN" Any picture in which Wm. S. Hart appears is sure to abound in thrilling scenes, but one of the most hair raising and dangerous stunts which he has ever attempted, will be seen at the Pickford theater on the two days, Saturday and Sunday of this week, when he will be in the character of Two-Gun Stokes, a notorious outlaw, Mr. Hart with a sheriff's posse at his heels, rides out upon a high cliff. Every avenue of escape cut off, he has no choice but to make the leap from the top of the helium balloon to the top of his hesitation and while the posse gasps in horror, he drives his spurs into his horse and makes the plunge. Together they go crashing down into the cannon. It is one of the finest pieces of work Thomas Inee, who directed the picture is justly proud of his achievement. The big scenes of the picture are laid in an Arizona mining town and unlike a great many Western productions a great deal of care has been put into its construction. There is not a detail of the building, but the view of the town has been built, including the cabins, stores, public corral, and last, but not least, the saloon and gambling hall. It is in this last that the really big scenes of the picture takes place. Therefore, Mr. Ice has built no ordinary saloon and gambling hall, but one in which the whole population of the town can gather if they like. And they can gather if they like. Full of swift action, it draws steadily to a tremendous climax, which fairly breathes the atmosphere of the rugged Western country.

In Alabama or Texican or dear old Caroline-- They've lynched many a man across the Mason-Dixon line. You oftimes read the papers—yes— you hold a daily day; You read about the soldier who is fighting far away. You've often heard the old folks tell how soldiers take a chance. It used to be, "Now, let me see." But now "Somewhere in France." The Germans raise a lot of dust, but lo, the sun do shine; Where the fire burns bright and free playing by the menor "Messner My God to Thee."

"BEAST OF BERLIN" Summer 1914—and the world was at peace—love and friendship ruled the glad business of every day. God looked down from Heaven and was pleased. Gentle breezes fanned the swaying grin of the grin of the world hummed with the pleasure sound of bees and birds and laughing girls. Marcas, the blacksmith of Louval, was a mighty man. This man, Marcas, lived in faith and love and friendship, and by the awe of his brow, had peace with the world. There was another man who lived in a palace in Berlin. He was twice a king, eighteen times a duke, twice a prince, nine times a count, besides being a bishop; William of Hohenzollern, king of Prussia, Emperor of Germany. The blacksmith of Louval was a better man than the Hohenzollern. The blacksmith owned but two suits of clothes, one or work and one for the other. The owner owned three hundred and sixty-six. August 1, 1914, and William of Hohenzollern spoke the word that set the world alire; came the crash, titanic, colossal—staggering. Joy died, hope fled, desolation became supreme. Upon day the world passed into twilight. The baffleful autocracy of Prussia had spoken. An autocracy of hate that for decades had been deceiving a great people, poisoning their minds, preaching the virtue and necessity of war; had applied the torch of desolation. That followed is the most amazing series of dramas primes over pervaded in the history of the world. This audacious, officious, autocratic, overbearing flend framed for the murder of millions upon millions of people, and the story, from its inception, will be shown at the Owl theater, 47th and State streets, for the two days, Saturday and Sunday of this week. It has rightly been called the most amazing picture of the century. Don't fail to see it. Thomas A. Brooks, featured comedian with the Auto Girls Burlesque Co., is playing the final week of the season at the Englewood theater, Chicago, Ill. Valyda & Brazilian Nuts are a great hit on the Orpheum Time. They are playing the Grand, Calgary, Canada, this week.

We will accept your bond or bonds as ATEST WHAT HAS AND WHAT CUNITY WHAT HAS AND WHAT CAN BE MADE BY INVEST BUSINESS We will accept your bond or bonds as cash payment for stock YOUR GREATEST OPPORTUNITY WHAT HAS AND WHAT CAN BE MADE BY INVESTING MONEY IN THE OIL BUSINESS There are more wealthy Negroes in Kansas and Oklahoma than in any other two States in America—and OLL is the reason. Have you heard of little Sarah Rector, whose income is Six Hundred Dollars ($600) per day, or Luther Manuel, who pays an Income Tax to the Government on a valuation of an Eight Million Dollar Estate? And Again, OLL is the reason. Heretofore the Black Man has been compelled to invest his money in White Oil Companies. The SQUARE DEAL OIL AND GAS Company is the first company of its kind in this section of the country organized and incorporated under the blue sky law of the State of Missouri and controlled and managed exclusively by Negro Men, and has brought in a REAL OIL WELL. You read about the Trapshooters Co., which brought in the huge gushers at Eldorado, Kan., and made $40,000 for each investor of $100. Perhaps you read the headlines in some daily paper: "Twenty-Three Kansas City Men Made Millionaires by Black Gold From Eureka Wells," and the story that followed on how Hale, a former railroad conductor, made fifteen million dollars. Again, you may have read of the amazing career of Harry St. Clair, who rose from a drug clerk to a multi-millionaire in a few short years, and how in only eleven months his Oil interest earned nearly nine and a half million dollars. Then there was the 1914 OIL Co., which paid $57,400.00 for every $100 invested in eighteen months; the Colline Co., which paid $83,000.00 for every $175.00 invested, and the Our Company is managed by competent, efficient, successful and progressive young business men—men who have studied and know the oil business—men who act rather than talk. Our Lease on which well No. 1 was brought in is an 80 acre tract in Section 12, Township 26, Range 18, Allen county, Kansas, near the proven territory of the Humboldt Fields which hold the world's record for the smallest percentage of dry holes.

There are scores and scores of cases like these in the Oil Fields. It is said, in Tulsa alone, there are 180 Oil millionaires and hundreds who are rich from Oil. The above is that the white man has earned by investing Oil. These men were in the stock firm of these companies. They held Stock in these companies about the time their first wells were brought in. These were white companies, and were principally organized for white men. The SQL ARE DEAL OIL AND GAS CO. is a Colored concern. Our Capital Stock is now $20,000; our shares are now $0.00 per share.

Hopkins, an official and heavy stockholder of the Square Deal Oil & Gas company. Facts told are exactly true to date. We reserve the right to return your remittance if oversubscribed. You will get in on this—if you hurry. Please note this—the Square Deal Oil & Gas Company is not a fifty million dollar corporation. Neither is it a dollar corporation. Neither is it a half million dollar corporation. Neither is it a $250,000 corporation. Nor is it a White Corporation. The Square Deal Oil & Gas Company is, as I have told you elsewhere in this ad, a Negro Concern, controlled and owned by a Negro. We are not vested in this may make you rich, as our capital is so small. It is going over big, and will go over still bigger, when we have fully developed our already proven lease. On the other hand, the Negroes of this country have a chance to earn millions. Use This Form! Mail Quick! SQUARE DEAL OIL AND GAS COMPANY, 1315 18th Street, Kansas City, Mo.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER When this company succeeds—and there is one chance in a thousand now since we have brought in Well No. 1 of us not succeeding—it will mark a new epoch in a financial history of the Negro of this Country. It will prove to the world that the Black man is fully able, without the leadership and assistance of the White man, to finance and operate big business enterprises the same as any one else.

With Ruba Foster in civilian clothes, the Rochester dolled up in their new sport coats, a goodly sized crowd came out and saw a goodly sized crowd, although the Rochester Rochester cain, through the Rochester man saw fit to keep thousands away by his threatening attitude. He hurt to the Pythian sermon, two big funerals and a demonstration of the home guards. The game was rattling and the crowd was being gathered by the Giants and the mighty Wicklew holding the white lads down to two hints. Barber had swats out of four trips to the plates. First Inning The game opened with Enkle being hit; Nagle sacrificed out, Wickware to Grant; Givens and Dibbins canned, Givens and Dibbins to Glenas; Duncan sent a long saarcifly飞 to Burback and Barber went to second after the catch. Barber stole third. Francis singled, scoring the first game. Gans went out, Enkle to Langer. Second Inning Ellisger, Lange filled to Gans, who went back after the catch; Hock was out when DeMoss went back of first use for his 17 yr. Burkeback fanned, his arm was broken, and he was stealing; Petway was safe when his fly to right field was dropped, he going all the way to second when Lange let the recovered ball elude him at first pass; he scored on passed ball; Williams fanned and Criss threw out Wickware. Third Inning Eclipse: Dixon walked, but was forced at second by Criss rolling to Williams and DeMoss covering second by Criss rolling to Nagle walked and Givens hit to Wickware, who tossed him out at first. Giants: Heck throw out Barber; DeMoss walked, only to die at second on Nagle to Nagle; Criss throw out Francis. Fourth Inning Dobbins and Lange fanned; Hock was hit; Burhack dropped a Texas visitor to the gate; visitors would score here, but the best Dixon could do was to rap to Demos. Grant was robbed of a hit by a good Grant by Givens; Nagle threw out Petway. Fifth Inning Eclipse: Criss popped to Williams; Engle popped to Grant; Wickware and Grant disposed of Nagle. Giants: Williams was safe on Hock's fumble; ALBANY PARKS TRAMPLE RUFUS WILLIAMS LOSES TO HAYDEN ON FOUL Columbus, N. M. May 16—Speedball weight champion of the army defeated Rufus Williams, ex-champion, who took the place of Frankie Towers (white). Hayden had Williams num- ber one in the league. The bout ended suddenly in the third round, with Hayden, like a streak of lightning, hitting with the regularity of a trip hammer, dazzling Williams two went to the ropes. Referee Corporal Pavis of the Twelfth cavalry (white), broke the two, but Williams was unable to get up and was counted for Hayden. He weighed 145, while Williams tipped the scales at 153. Tobe Pitches No-hit, No-Run Game in Rain Detroit, Mich., May 10.—Tohe again pitched great ball, and although it rained, a fair sized crowd saw him hurl a no-hit game. One run was made by the losers because the support of winners was wabby at times.

Gries, and Lange ended Wickarew's a good stop, but was not in a position to get his man going to first. DeMoss ended the inning by lofting to Glens. Sixth Inning Eclipse: Givens and Dobbing fanned and Lange went out when Francis made a leap and a great one-handed jump, a boulder, getting his man at first by the applauded. Giants: Francis skled to Givens; Guns went out on a long high fly to Burback; Grant got his second high fly to Burback; Grant got his second high fly to Dixon back near the grandstand. Seventh Inning Eclipse; Hock singled; Burbank famed as Hock pilfered second; Dixon lofted to Hill, who was in center; Hock lofted to Hill, who was dead as a door nail when Petway made a perfect pig to Francis; Giants: Engle threw out Williams; Wickware hit to Nagle and was out at first when he quit running. It cost the Giants a $1 million fee. Barber tripped to the fence. DeMoss was thrown by Criss. Eighth Inning Ellipsis; Criss walked, but was doubled when Eagle popped to Francis to second and Francis went over and touched first, getting both put out. The tactics of the little third baseman, the little third baseman, to Nagle; Francis walked; Engle pulled a big ivory play of the season. Gans rapped to him and Francis went to Nagle; Francis bluffed because, instead of Engle bluffing a throw to second to slow up Francis he paid no attention to the runner, and instead of getting tried to get Francis at third by a wonderful quick return throw, but he couldn't fast enough. Engle throw Gans. Ninth Inning ATLANTA CUBS WIN Atlanta, Ga., May 10.—In the second game of a series, with the Indians, a team of the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, the Atlanta Cubs won by the score of 6 to 2. Smith started on the mound for the Cubs, but he walked the first three men to face him and he was yanked for Malloy, who retired the side without allowing a score. Malloy pitched a two-hit game for the Cubs and had the opposing batsmen at his mercy from the time he went in until the last out in the ninth. Brown pitched a clever game for the prisoners, but his support had him in hot water at all stages of the game.

All Nations Lose Game to Michigan City Team The Chicago Exhibition Company's Michigan baseball team opened its 1918 season at Michigan City and was defeated by the strong Haskell & Barker team by the score of 3 to 1, after a hard fought contest. The team had a very creditable game for their first time out together and should in a contest with the Giants. They started right after Craner, the H. & B. twirler, Tashiro, the diminutive Jap, singling and scoring on Iraq hitting, couple with an error, gave the winners their two scores, while the All Nations were unable to bunch out to witness the game and Backlin & Hanley's mixed squad of ball tossers attracted a lot of attention.

THE CAMP.GRANT TEAM (top row)—Lieut. Engram, p; Bruce, 3d; Lieut. T. le row—Powell, 1st; Allison, c; Capt. Hollingswort fielder; Fields, ss. JOE GANS VS. BUDDY PAGE What promises to be one of the best boxing contests staged in a long time between two lightweights and both boys with good reputation, will take place Monday night, May 13, at Chicago Heights. Joe Gans, the recognized lightweight of the world, is going against that hard-hitting Buddy Page from the South, where he has done most of his boxing, and many a good boxer has tasted defeat from him. Gans is getting into the best of shape and is not holding Buddy any too cheap, as he also has the greatest respect for his mighty right hand that always does the trick. The public is invited to see Gans train every evening at Jones A. C. 2519 State street, free of charge, and those that love the sport will be well repaid for their trouble of coming. Lou Goldman, who has his watchful eye on Gans, is willing to back his boy against any of them at his weight, as he has been promised a bout with one of the top notchers in the white line if he defeats Page, but must win by a large mark. Page is doing his training at the Heights and says that he is going to surprise the public and make Goldman the executive head of the company as he is sure that he can take Gans' measure. Lou Goldman has imported one of his light heavens here in the name of Rouh-Hoek he is the host in the country, as the boxing fans all know that he does not have anything but champs in his stable, as at one time when the boxing team was in the stable of 28 boxers, but could not get any of the white boxers to mix. As soon as they mentioned "Goldman's boxers" there was nothing doing, as knew that they had to box, not stall. Goldman is willing to lot Rough box any one that the promoters will get Friday in the city at the side of his brother-in-law, Charlie Bolden. Mrs. Irene Bolden left Saturday evening with his sick husband or Orkla H. D. Jew of Memphis spent Sunday in the city.

To begin the story right, we, meaning members of the Race, have been accustomed to our patriotism toward the boys on our field as we should.

The athletic fund is low, as we told you last week. When we went to press was thought that a boxing match could be held in the stadium to swell their regimental athletic fund. The mayor could not grant permission to miss his enemies. Boxing is prohibited in the stadium, and adjutant general of the state was then appealed to, but a wire to General Malvern Hirn Barnum from F. C. Dickerson was sent to the stadium to put a death blow to all hopes. Then came Rubo Foster with his offer that money made at the game Sunday would be given to the athletic fund.

ROYAL YEAR PAGE NINE go Sunday , Dicta Johnson aded by Band, Attraction I look patroltism nor pride. Every cent that is made Sunday will go to the boys; they need it and, more than that, they should have it. The Clark Griffith bat and ball fund does not reach our boys. Blame this on the kaiser. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of these goods are now at the bottom of the Atlantic. This was on its way over there for the boys in the trenches and others doing their bit. It must be made up. The factories are why behind in their orders. During all this time the boys at the camp, our boys, are without funds. Besides the band, which will accompany the team and give a concert during the game, many soldiers will come in to see the game. With the team is Tom Johnson of last year's American Giants: Dieta Johnson of the A. B. C. "P. Powell, Simpson, Holman and Capt. Hollnixsworth.

They discover that it isn't enough to cut off your queue, let your wife's feet grow to their natural size and "fire" your emperor in order to solve modern problems. In Japan ninety-seven out of a hundred inhabitants above the infancy age can read and write. That helps to explain Japan's efficiency. She appreciates the importance of knowledge.

'Tis said a "little knowledge is a dangerous thing," meaning thereby a smattering of knowledge makes of some people fools, but they are the exception; the more learned individuals are the less they feel they know and the harder they study. With schools, colleges and universities right at our doors offering us an education without cost and without price, there is no excuse whatsoever for ignorance, no excuse for the boy or girl stopping after passing the grammar grades, no excuse for parents, no matter how poor, permitting their children to go out into the world half prepared, and they truly are as babes in the woods when they drift out on the sea of life with only a partial education and strike the storm that is sure to come. For brains, not brawn, rule the world. To bring the matter right home to us we deserve a great deal more harsh criticism than we receive.

We nibble at education, get a smattering of this and a smattering of that, just enough, in the parlance of the street, "to get by." If a living is all we seek, something to eat, drink and wear, why worry about getting an education at all? Hottentots can take a club and get something to eat, water is free and they don't have to wear much, but who wants to be a Hottentot? Statistics show that our illiteracy is decreasing rapidly, that something less than thirty per cent now are unable to read or write. As compared with many other classes of people, this is a creditable showing, but fathers, mothers, guardians and children themselves must be made to understand that education is the solution of our difficulties. The boy and girl should stay in school—no matter at what sacrifice—until they have finished the last grade in high school, then if possible enter college. As the old lady lecturing to her son said, "Dese de days w'en men don't git up to de top by hooks and crooks; tell you now they's got to git der standin' on a pile o' books.

Paying the Price THINGS THAT ONE ACQUIRES the table, about what is paid for them—nor a struggle, or a great sacrifice, or a pacificist tells us there was a far enough away from the scene in a little sphere we have those who being a government that fails to protect us are harmful, and it is well spoken. The reasons why this country volts forth so many times that only the man tendencies, would ever raise the man tendencies, would ever raise the very antifhesis of liberty. With this vein will stand for the slightest who comes by force and attempts to supress and given a battle that shall not be "over there" any acts one affects all—WE ARE OUR an American citizen feels that the MAT ONE ACQUIRES for nothing in this work, what is paid for them—nothing. The things we want or a great sacrifice, and are worth every hour, away from them is no need for this war; that they are weaken, and we must remain in neutral position that fails to protect its citizens. Both the harmful, and it is well they must be spoken to, why this country voluntarily entered the country many times that only the densely ignorant, or even would ever raise the issue. In a putschish attempting to force upon the rest of the world liberty. What American with an own stand and entrainment of his Gigabyte force and attempts to attack him, given a battle that shall for evermore establish de autonomy, "more" any more than it is overalls all—WE ARE MORE THAN WE KEEP American feel that the soldiers who are our brothers; that by every law of right and even, as we would want to be supported by the allies' battle line is a melting American feel that we are fighting UWB battles. They are likely to suffer infuriating privation and wounds that we know there all that we may keep our all, impossible to give figures correctly, we have other countries made, and particularly the burden of war—from a man power standpoint. Military experts and military writers have today hangs probabilities, but the fact they are more maintained, invalided out of the war—still there are more at stake; never before have we that this is our war and our fight. We the military and everything worth while. The loathing to all mankind, the allies will THINGS THAT ONE ACQUIRES for nothing in this world are worth, as rule, about what is paid for them—nothing. The things worth while come after a struggle, or a great sacrifice, and are worth every bit of the effort. The pacifist tells us there was no need for this war; that the United States was far enough away from the scene to remain a neutral spectator. In our own little sphere we have those who oppose our taking an active part in war, and that fails to protect its citizens. Both views are narrow; both are well and it is well they must be spoken in an understone when spoken at all. The reasons why this country voluntarily entered the conflict have been put into limbo, times that only the densely ignorant, or those with pro-Berman tendencies, can understand. In a nutshell, the kaiser and company are attempting to force upon the rest of the country the very antithesis of liberty. What American with an ounce of red blood he who comes by force or the slightest curtailment of his God-given rights he will make slaves of free men shall be met by force and given a battle that shall for evermore establish democracy's right to supervise autonomy. "There" any more than it is over here. What affects one, affects all—WE ARE OUR BORNERS, we should not as American citizens feel that the soldiers who are fighting the militia are our brothers; that by every law of right and reason we are placed here to be supported by them if our places were reversed." The allies' battle is not French, Italian, American—white and black boys are fighting side by side, not white. They are suffering all battles; they are risking a great deal more than we go. They are rising their all that we may learn that we know nothing about. While it is impossible to give figures correctly, we have, perhaps, two militants men access the water; a goodly number, yet, when compared to the millions men access the mud, and particularly France, we must realize that the burden of war—from the mud, as yet, touched us but lightly. Military experts and military writers may at length the possibilities and probabilities, but the fact remains that the action, millions more maimed in the balance. Millions have been killed in action; millions more maimed in the end is not in sight. Never was there more at stake; never before we have realized so fully that this is our war and our fight. We are fighting for realize so fully that this is our war and our fight. We are fighting for realize so fully that this is our war and our fight. The loss is as nothing compared to the gain to all mankind, when the allies win—and win they must and will. --- EMMETT J. SCOUTT.

ALLISON SWEENEY April 7th the press of President Wilson's ad- day before, mentioned that as the troops in review passed before him, a Negro band, marching ahead of a Division of Negro soldiers, were in the front of the New York stand where the President stood uncovered, and played with great effect. "Over There," the President being much more agent. On the night following the account in the morning press, it being the half hour after midnight, Mr. Sweeney being alone in his "den," passed into a deep slumber, during which Mr. Sweeney's vernacular, "saw things." What follows is an account of his dream; the It was, as I look back to it, not simply and normally, a dream; that is, not altogether so, but, beyond that, in Byron's elucidation, it was "A dream, which was NOT ALL A DREAM!" While I was sure I knew by a supernatural influence by a supernatural presence, which I distinctly FELT, but was unable to see. What transpired owing to it: how, and in what manner I became its helpless beneficency, or-victim, being, in a sense: DEAD TO THE WORLD" was a picture of events, passed and passing, and those on the way, and to come. Exhausted and much spent, incident to many hours of unbroken application to a task not to be put under consequence. At the time when I became aware I was the objective aim: the storm center of an unusual phantasmagoria *PRISONSIDE* in singing and lettering. Am from heaven, or blasts from hell; sub-consciously — even while I dreamed, it seemed the gray of the Dawn when the visible universe is quiescent, pulseless! Nothing STIRRED! Silence was EVERYWHERE! Everywhere was SILENCE! Filled with a sense; subduing quite to uncannyness, of the spirituality of the moment, I strained my eyes — was no longer in my den, sweeping the Dawn and hitherward, seeking. I knew not what, when! Breaking upon my vision beyond the eastern seas — beheld a vast assemblage; the world, it looked, in arms; massed in serried columns, with Standards in SENT, as if awarding a coming eve. The place of the gathering was on the plains surrounding a great city. Above, and enveloping it like a huge mountain, reached close to earth, as it would prevent the sun from shining upon it, was a vast black cloud. So forbidding and terrible it looked; so heavy and imposing semenberness as it might be, that it moved the presence of the MASTER. I was filled with a great terror. I strove to speak, to cry out—moved to tears, to cry out—laughter had become but DEAD CHILD FLESH; my limbs frozen or nailed to the spot where I stood, and then, it may have been seconds, per minute—I ceased to SEEB! TO HEAR When consciousness had returned, I was aware the silence had broken. There was a burst of ravishing murmur made up of millions of different instruments and voices, overpowering HARMONY; filling all the earth; the like of which, in my wildest imagining I had never conceived of; read in Song or Story, soaked up the gray of the morning hour, quivering as if loath to depart, slowly vanished, and in its stead, a shimmer of golden sunlight, slashed with violet and purple thins, enveloped mountains, and plain; the aurora of a NEW DAY. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` 图 图 图 ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` FLORIDA for the time being, my gaze to OTHER SPHERES; events, in transit and to come. There was a look, an expression on the face of MYSELF, in my eyes, to tell us, wreaths the countenances of those rare personalities, sometimes met in life, who seem NOT OF THE WORLD'S CLAY, and are given no less than the BEAUTY, beyond the power of fleshy eyes to see. ```markdown ``` E E E Emerging from my swoon: "What see you now," spoke again the PRESENCE: "what see you, and hearing, what hear you."

In a "Far Country," I seem, and the time is on the way; not far from NOW. In a bore of cannon, of shields, of sails, the grooves of the wounded, and the dying. And, O MASTER, MASTER, LOOK! My flesh quivers at the Sight; I see from a NO man drills, NO thirst is slaked! "THIS" I read on a tattered streamer, held in phantom armor; it is rushing, and on to the ground, where sits a MAESTY Who is proclaiming; His voice sounding clear, above the shock of battle; the "Bim Parthi" in the RESP!ER; and THE TIME he dead, yet SHALL WE LAVE AGAIN!" "I see the dead in heaps: BLACKS!" Far, far away they are, stuffed, and stuffed, "OVER THERE" around a Flag of Stars, and of Strikes; of Red, of White and Blue, and its Staff, and its Stars THEIR BLOOD.

Again it was the gray and white assemblage; mussed in serried columns; the world in arms, with Standards furled—SILENT, as if awnting, coming紧急. While white assemblage, mussed in serried density of the transition, I raised my gaze; sweeping the nethermost heavens, around and above; and place; even in the twinkling of a eye, so quick it was. "What means your abstraction; and NOW WHAT BEFORE? Spoke the PRESENCE" I see MOM, the eastern seas, A dove, of like tremendous, white as driven snow, stationary in the heavens, above the throghout, Its wings outwings, Ears, and outwings, to horizon to horizon, it bears in its beak, a snow white banner, on which, is wrought, in letters that seem alive— WITH FLOWERS, THE MOUNDS WHERE REST THE HEROES DEAD WHO HAVING BEAT THE HUN, LEVELED HIS CAPITAL, IN THE LORD IS NOW ASLEEP IN THE LORD. --- "I bear, O MASTER, the roll of muffled drums. I see a throne, in slow, reversed, and standard drooping, with arms reversed, and Standards drooping, from this pile and that, of desolate of grimming skulls, some muttering prayers for the souls of the dead, some chanting hymns, some there among flowers, green bays and sweet "Forget-me-nots." One mound, somewhat off by itself, away from the prescribed course of the movement, neath the blooms throw, and dropped upon it. I bear no word. O Master, but in approaching it, the marchers slow up, and the Standard drooping, with this mound" so the scripture "are Blacks, who, in one of the fiercest charges of the Huns, defended this spot ALONE!

P3 P4 P5 So thrilled was I, I was about to address the PRESENCE for its opinion, when I awakened. Instead of being on the plains before THE LORD, I was sitting in the stairway, stirred, as never quite before, with visions of events passed, passing and to come in the story and life of the Negro, so wonderful, but, ah, SO TRAGIC, I was alone in my den, save for the presence of a mouse and vanished in the darkness beyond the portals of the door.

Thousands of innocent women and children have contracted syphilis, a disease of the sexual act, many nurses and doctors have become infected through and by the handling of syphilic patients in the making of examinations and sores. We have so long surrounded the name of syphilis with opprobrium and colum that one has hardly dared to approach the controlling, in the currying, medical and surgical clinics, hospitals and medical colleges. As said before in this column, in order to make any away from the controlling, in the currying, medical and surgical clinics, hospitals and medical colleges, must be educated, must become cognizant of seriousness of syphilis, the third most serious of syphilis, the public must know that syphilis is a crippler—that it is a killing, a handicapping disease; that it appears in times in skin eruptions, falling out of the hair, sweep, throat, on various parts of the body and in other clinical syphilisaint, because the clinical sore—chancres—and an slight intolerable external manifestations may be dormant or hidden for many years, free from syphilisaintaint, because the thought, with the various "powers," "salves" and "home remedies," but the great enemy was lying in ambush—to strike the victim at any time during the time of his supreme efficiency.

On many a distant camping ground this summer the boy who his mother will remember many a kind and loving word from mother. I am writing this in honor of mother and mother for I would feel safe in saying that I had one of the dearest, faithful, most patient and Christian mothers in my life. I am invalid for eight years, but you are I was I can remember how patient she bore her affection. Today I shall honor her by being honored and paid homage to, while it is a day observed and kept by the whole nation. I do not deem it necessary to have a mother who has sacrificed has there been a day pass over my head since I have grown to mature years that I have not had to sacrifice with a good mother, show her appreciation by some deed of gratitude and love. Every one should observe her life, as many are today, engaged in this world war. Separated from the tender tides of love and mother, I am not so blessed to have a mother, even a white carnation, give to some one else to wear. Every man, one and a half, a carnation on Mother's day, its white carnation, its form, beauty; its fragrance, love; its wide field of growth, charity; its lasting quality, faithfulness.

Miscarriages—The vast majority of miscarriages or abortions in young women are caused by syphilis infection where there are frequent abortions and miscarriages in the family on the part of the parents it is always a wise procedure to examine the family for a familial infection, especially if there is a history of repeated abortions and miscarriages, because syphilis is often reported for the above-mentioned disasters.

EDITOR'S MAIL THE WEST WANTS HELP Rolse, Idaho, May 5. Editor Chicago Defender: Please let the following article ap- pear again in your, widely read paper: The West still offers special inducements to Colored people. I am daily besieged with calls for cooks, chambermaids, nurses and house women at best wages—$35 to $60 per month and room. Also, porters can find immediate employment here. Friends will you not take advantage of this splendid chance, in the best climate, among the best people, where race feeling is never displayed. Are you coming? Write me when to expect you. I am. Faithfully Yours for the Race. T. J. ROSS, Pastor A. M. E. Church. 120 N. 7th St. Boise, Idaho. Dear Mr. Abbott—I have enclosed an account of the final proceedings in the Campbell case for your consideration and such use as you see fit to make of it. I know you are pleased with the order of communication, especially as you have undertaken it, and I am fortunate man. I appreciate more than I can express the splendid, generous and practical help the Defender has done to this long, bitter contest. Your aid has been much-needed—money could not pay for it. People in all sections of the country know the case. Many have contributed through the war, the struggle has been long, and at times aging, the work has been hard, the expanse has been heavy, but success has not been lost, and human life has been saved and secured upon the helm of race prejudice. You have been a faithful, tireless Dougherty—now nearly three years—and in voice of your associates and all who believe that you has spoken and prevented another tragedy in this mysterious case. I tender you my heartfelt thanks for all you have done. Sincerely yours. ED. NOTE.—I am satisfied. What we could not get in court, through this war, has been stolen. TIME will be given an opportunity to show the red-handed devil. Pine Bluff, Ark, April 13. - Editor of Chicago Defender, Chicago.
